Chapter 345: Visitor
Zhang Shanniang took the small silver box containing Yi Lang's fetal hair for Lin Jinrong, smiled and pinched Yi Lang's little ears, and said, "The little temper is quite big." ”
Yi Lang was even angrier and cried louder. Seeing his unrelenting energy, Lin Jinrong had a headache, and secretly said that this child's temperament is really unprovoked, and he must pay attention to it when teaching in the future.
Lu Lu felt that Yi Lang had a temperament, and he was not a person who was willing to let others handle it, which was good. happily was about to lead everyone to the banquet venue, when he saw a person walk in gracefully, waved at him, and said with a smile: "Second Master Lu, the contemptible person is late, and I hope to forgive my sins." Congratulations, congratulations. ”
It was Mei Baoqing who came. Dressed in a blue robe, a hosta, a pair of green cloth shoes, and no decoration on the whole body, standing in a group of scholars and petty officials, he is outstanding. There were also many acquaintances with him, who did not despise him because he was a businessman, and greeted him very politely. After greeting people one by one, he looked at Lin Jinrong and bowed slightly at her quietly, as if he knew her.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but be surprised. Because they have always had business dealings with Mei Baoqing, after they arrived in Beijing, although they knew that Mei Baoqing was not at home, they never missed that part of the festival during the New Year's holidays, and the Mei family also gave back, but Mei Baoqing never showed up. According to the news that Lu Liang brought back when he gave gifts, Mei Baoqing has not returned home since he met them on the Zhujiang River last summer, not even the winter solstice and Chinese New Year's Eve. But he didn't expect that he would come to this washing party.
Zhang Shanniang said with a fan: "Isn't this the famous Mei Baoqing?" ”
Lin Jinrong turned around: "You also know him?" ”
Zhang Shanniang said: "Who doesn't know him? The largest and best shops on Panlou Street are his, gold, silver, pearls and jade, incense and silk, all kinds of business are not the same, and there are means to send the only sister into the palace, make friends everywhere, and do a lot of elegant things, the means are really amazing. How did your family get to know him? ”
Mei Baoqing's shop on Panlou Street Lin Jinrong knows... But Lin Jinrong didn't know about sending his sister to the palace, Lin Jinrong didn't want to talk to Zhang Shanniang too clearly and carefully, so he smiled and said: "He has some business dealings with my uncle. It's not enough to say it's cooked, and it's impossible to say it's uncooked. ”
Zhang Shanniang glanced at her... He didn't ask any more, got up and said, "Don't you go to Qingheyuan?" We don't want to go, so we will have someone bring a table of wine and food, and we sisters will eat and drink under the grape trellis in your yard. ”
Lin Jinrong agreed, saluted next to each other and thanked the female guests, and asked an elderly, steady and enthusiastic fellow villager to greet the female guests on her behalf, and sent everyone to the door. I called the spring buds and cherries and commanded two sentences... Fang turned around and led Zhang Shanniang to the inner courtyard, where they sat and drank tea, ate fruits, and gossiped.
Zhao Qiongniang said: "It stands to reason that the child is going to be moved today, don't you plan to do it?" ”
Lin Jinrong said: "His grandfather's house is too far away. "The so-called relocation is that after the full moon, the mother goes to live at her grandmother's house with the child for a few days, but Lin Jinrong and Lu Lu are alone, where is the right person to go? I can only ignore this custom.
Xu Xingniang smiled: "When I go home in the future, it's not too late to make up for it, it's not particularly important." Anyway, the child is quite well-behaved. ”
All three of them are mothers... He told Lin Jinrong a lot of parenting scriptures, and said a few slimming recipes. Talking and talking, Xu Xingniang and Zhao Qiongniang talked about their children... The more you talk, the more you talk, the happier you become, and you almost don't directly say that my son is smarter than yours. Zhang Shanniang never praised her children outside, she shook the fan gently, and watched Lin Jinrong wipe the sweat for Yilang, who was tired and asleep, and said in a low voice: "Rong Niang, I don't know if you have heard of it, the matter of setting up a city in Huating County, Xiuzhou is already being discussed, and most of the time, it will definitely be done." ”
"I've heard a little bit." Lin Jinrong had asked Lu Lu to inquire earlier... I heard him mention it once or twice a few days ago, but this kind of big thing, it seems that people like them can only let it go, so they just sigh secretly that this money is getting harder and harder to make.
Zhang Shanniang said in a low voice: "Mei Baoqing, there is a lot of method. ”
Lin Jinrong suddenly remembered Mei Baoqing's reputation in the Cheongju Yard - the most daring and poisonous smuggler. That year, she asked Tao Shunqin and others to store food and incense... Tao Shunqin wants to find a foodie with strong financial resources and outstanding means, and the first thing to consider is Mei Baoqing. At this time, Zhang Shanniang and her suddenly mentioned Mei Baoqing, and said that he had a lot of ideas, and seemed to have ulterior motives.
I don't know if Zhang Shanniang is worried that the profits of the shop will be thin in the future, resulting in the thinning of the dividends in her hands, or if she has other meanings. But no matter what, Lin Jinrong couldn't tell her about her roots, so she just smiled slightly and said, "I don't know very well." ”
On the side, Cherry neatly led Shuangquan and Shuangfu to lay out the banquet neatly, and came forward to invite everyone to enter the table, Lin Jinrong took advantage of the situation to get up and beckoned her three to enter the table, Zhang Shanniang never mentioned this matter again, and enthusiastically gave Lin Jinrong advice, what to do with the 100-day banquet in the future to be lively. A few women weighed and weighed, whispered something out of the way, laughed and made trouble, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
The sun shadow slanted westward, Zhang Shanniang and a few people were half drunk, their cheeks were red and they laughed and helped the maid to say goodbye, Lin Jinrong sent her a few people out, watched the carriage go away, and then went back to the room to bathe and change clothes, and leaned on the soft couch in front of the window to close her eyes and recuperate.
Cherry came in and persuaded her to drink half a cup of decanting soup, covered her with a thin blanket, and learned the same as lychees and beans, and sat down under the curtain with a pestle lightly, and guarded her quietly. Shuangquan and Shuangfu finished their work, they took the rope and sat under the porch to turn the rope to play, Shuangfu turned over happily, "Ha" laughed out, just popped up, was stared at viciously by the cherry big eyes, frightened to shrink his neck, pursed his lips and buried his head just rummaging the rope, and then did not dare to make a sound.
The evening breeze blew through the courtyard, and the grape leaves sounded all over the courtyard, and occasionally one or two wilted green pearl-like green grapes fell. The fragrance of tuberose planted in the corner of the courtyard wall gradually became stronger, and a few tired birds stood on the wall and squeaked. Lin Jinrong half-opened his eyes and looked out the window quietly, like a stream flowing slowly in his heart.
The sky gradually darkened, unknown small insects chirped, several cold stars twinkled in the sky, and a bright moon in the sky illuminated the eyes of Lu Xuan, who was half drunk. He stood at the door of the main courtyard, looking at the brightly lit room, listening to Lin Jinrong's laughter and Yi Lang's crying, his heart was stuffed, and he couldn't wait for this moment to last forever. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, smiled softly for a moment, turned around and went to the East Cross Courtyard, took out a brocade box from under the desk, stuffed it into his arms, and walked quickly to the main courtyard.
Yi Lang had just eaten, lying in Lin Jinrong's arms like a kitten, Lin Jinrong gently supported him, hummed in a low voice, walked back and forth in the house, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, looked back, and saw Lu Lu standing in front of the door, looking at her mother and son earnestly.
Lin Jinrong saw that his cheeks were still a little crimson, and knew that he had drunk too much, so he hurriedly ordered Cherry: "Go and get the decanting soup." He asked Lu Lu again: "Is everything okay?" ”
Lu Lu walked to the side to change his clothes and wash his hands, and said with a smile: "It's all good, but I drank a little too much." I couldn't push it off, and I almost thought I was going to get drunk. ”
Lin Jinrong said with a smile: "It's rare to have such a happy event, and it's okay to drink more." Why did Mei Baoqing come suddenly? ”
He said that he had just come back from Pingzhou and brought some courtesy to Yilang for his uncle and third brother. I've ordered the spring sprouts to be harvested, and when she's free, I'll come over to tell you. Lu Mian came out with a change of homely clothes, took Yi Lang over and hugged him, looked at his little hand, and smiled more and more: "Why is it such a small, bad-tempered guy." ”
Yi Lang glanced at him lazily, yawned, and half-closed his eyes.
"It's time to sleep, he didn't sleep well today." Lin Jinrong hurriedly took it and handed it to Dou'er, who carefully wrapped the thin quilt and sent it to the nurse without mentioning it.
Lu Mian drank the sobering soup, ordered everyone to retreat, hugged Lin Jinrong into his arms, and whispered: "Ah Rong, I walked to the door just now, and I felt like a dream. I've always wanted to live like this, but I never thought that I would actually live like this. ”
Lin Jinrong leaned on him and sat down, chuckling in a low voice: "Minxing, are you happy?" ”
Lu Lu nodded seriously: "Happy." It couldn't be more jolly. ”
"Just be happy." Lin Jinrong sat snuggled up with him, and slowly said what Zhang Shanniang said to her during the day: "I can't guess what she means, as if she knows Mei Baoqing is smuggling." didn't dare to answer her words, and passed perfunctorily. ”
Lu Lu pondered for a long time and said in a low voice: "The relationship between Beijing and China is complicated, let's take a look first and then talk about it." In fact, I'm very curious, why doesn't Mei Baoqing do treasure business? ”
Lin Jinrong sat up straight: "In your opinion, is there something wrong with it?" ”
Lu Lu shook his head: "That's not necessarily, there are so many businesses in the world, no matter how capable he is, he can't make all the money." It's late at night, go to sleep. Gently approaching Lin Jinrong and whispering: "Ah Rong, let me sleep with you, I promise not to do anything." ”
Lin Jinrong pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't have a reason to kick you out, but I don't know what Mama Sha and Mama Gong will say." ”
Lu Lu said: "Then I'll go back first, and wait for you to open them all and open the door for me." I went back at dawn. ”
"Is this a thief? You're not afraid to show the people below you and laugh at me. Bear with it a little longer, and it will be fine if you live for more than ten days. Before Lin Jinrong finished speaking, Mama Gong stood under the curtain and said with a smile: "Grandma, it's late at night, do you want to rest in peace?" ”
"It's time to rest." Lin Jinrong admires Mama Gong, she is really conscientious, and she is not afraid that Lu Mian will hate her for being troublesome.
Lu Mian was greatly disappointed, but he was helpless, he sat there with a straight face, and Mama Gong was not annoyed, and told Lin Jinrong about Yilang's interesting story with a smile, and Lu Mian's expression gradually eased, and he went around the house and went away.
Mama Gong went to make Lin Jinrong's bed: "Grandma, a major event in a lifetime, you must not be soft-hearted." ”
