Lu Mian came out of the yamen and invited a few officials in charge to go to Wuwen Building to eat and drink.

After appeasing everyone, it was nearly two o'clock when I returned home.

When you enter the door, you smell a fragrance, not like the lily incense and plum huā incense that you usually use, but it is an orchid incense, which is quiet and enters the lungs, and it smells very good. When I looked at it again, I saw Lin Jinrong leading a few girls, sitting and standing on the edge of the smoked cage, smiling around the celadon incense burner and trying incense. couldn't help but feel good, and said with a smile: "Where did you send the new incense?" As he spoke, he leaned over, took the incense pan in Lin Jinrong's hand, and took Lin Jinrong's hand as soon as he could.

When the girls saw this, they all pursed their lips and smiled, lowered their heads and scattered, one went to lift his shoes, the other went to prepare hot water, and some went to get homely clothes and pour tea.

Lin Jinrong said: "It was sent by my third brother at noon, it's called Xiaolanxiang." Say that if you like it, you will send some with you to take to the masters. "Say it and earn it gently" There is no shape in front of the girls, so go wash your hands and change your clothes. There is a big smell of alcohol on my body. ”

"It's hard for him to have a heart. The fragrance is good.

Lu Mian put the incense chopsticks as he said, got up to change his clothes, wash his hands and face, and drank the sobering soup, and asked Lin Jinrong: "How is Widow Sun?" ”

Lin Jinrong called Lychee over and told him: "The mother and son are both illiterate and live in their cousin's house. It is the ancestral business of the Sun family, and the two and a half mothers live on it, without much money and without selling.

I want to rebuild the house, prepare the goods and reopen it, and I have to pay for the losses in between. "That's fine, you should pay for it." Lu Lu couldn't help frowning when he heard that the seventh old man actually used the name of the Lu family to coax Widow Sun: "What a boldness." Lin Jinrong told Lychee to retreat and whispered: "I also feel so bold." No one has ever made an idea of the grocery store there for so many years, so why is it suddenly targeted? I wondered, who would dare to defraud a widow by taking advantage of our family's power and fame? ”

The Lu family is in Pingzhou, and they dare not say that they are one of the best, but they are also in the front, there are children who are officials, their families are rich, their people are prosperous, and they are a big family, so no one dares to provoke them. Those who dare to provoke are ranked highly. Lu Xuan's eyes were full of brilliance, and he said softly: "I feel a little strange, if someone wants to do something, they shouldn't show their clues so early, aren't they afraid that we will know how to take precautions?" Lin Jinrong said: "I don't know about this, maybe I want to test it." You have to ask the second master to be careful to find out. According to the news brought back by Lychee, she felt that the biggest possibility that could cause Widow Sun to hang herself was that Widow Sun had lost the ancestral shop she relied on for her survival.

It is too easy to deceive a pair of illiterate orphans and widows, as long as they buy off the relevant people, and coax the mother and son to stamp their handprints with the compensation documents and the deeds of homestead sales issued by Lu Mi, they can not only deal with Lu Mi, but also force the widow Sun to die. and then bought off the relatives of the Sun family with huge profits, and came to make trouble, which was enough for Lu Lu to drink a pot. This strategy is not complicated, and it takes up a poisonous word. But everything is just her personal imagination, and it depends on Lu Mian to verify.

Lu Lu thought for a moment and said, "No matter who wants to do anything, good or bad, thanks to Ah Rong, you reminded me that it is not easy for orphans and widows." I will deal with it as soon as possible so that I don't have to have a lot of dreams at night. ”

Lin Jinrong agreed, and Lu Lu stood up: "I haven't looked at a book in the past two days, while it's still early, I'll go next door to review, you sleep first, don't wait for me." ”

Lin Jinrong hurriedly instructed the girls to prepare charcoal basins and other things for him, and asked him to change into thick felt socks and cotton shoes: "It's comfortable when your feet are warm." The bed is also made for you, and there is a soup woman 1

Go to bed early and don't stay up late. As she was talking, she saw Lu Lu looking at her with lowered eyes, raising his hand and gently stroking her cheek, with an extremely gentle expression.

Lin Jinrong blinked and pushed him out: "Go quickly, don't delay." ”

"If it's still early and you haven't fallen asleep, I'll come back to accompany you." Lu Lu walked out happily.

Lin Jinrong stood silently for a moment, and then ordered someone to bring water in and serve her to wash.

There were only two masters and servants in the house, and Lizhi whispered: "Aren't you waiting for the second master?" After staying by Lu Mian's side for a long time, she can also hear some words. Lu Mian's previous words were clearly hoping that Lin Jinrong would wait for him, but he said that he would read hard, and he was embarrassed to change his words, and he would definitely come over after a while.

Lin Jinrong covered his mouth and yawned: "I'm too tired." Now no one is in charge of the kitchen, it's all on my own. Lychee didn't say much, and changed her words: "I heard that Mr. Shui will arrive tomorrow, everything that should be packed up, which people does grandma plan to take back?" Lin Jinrong said: "Dragged by this matter, the eldest girl makes trouble every day, and the eldest lady is sick again, and I don't know when I will be able to leave." ”

Lychee was a little resentful: "The eldest grandmother is obviously pretending, and this morning she was energetic and loosened Guixiang's teeth with one palm, and she gasped in a blink of an eye?" I heard that when she was pregnant with the first two young masters, she was still helping the second wife take care of things for nine months. Saying that, I was a little worried about Lin Jinrong, if the Lu family had another son, what would Lin Jinrong do?

Lin Jinrong smiled: "The heir is a big deal, no matter how delicate she is, it's only a matter of the past few months." What's more, some people don't like to be idle, and they have to find something to do when they have nothing to do. ”

Guixiang is Lu Shao's roommate, and the Lu family can't serve Lu Shao when he has a body, he must be jealous and hateful, plus he wants to capture and lose the right to the kitchen, so of course he has to make trouble when he is idle, otherwise the days of raising a baby will be too lonely.

Lin Jinrong went to bed, but Lychee didn't dare to rest, and sat honestly outside, listening to Lu Xuan's movements with his ears pricked up while playing. Gui Yuan no longer dared to cheat and play tricks like before, so he went to rest early, and when he saw that she didn't sleep, he also came over with a pestle, accompanied him, and lowered his head to make shoes for Lin Jinrong.

But after about half an hour, Lu Lu opened the door and walked out, pointing inside: "Is your grandma sleeping?" Lychee whispered: "She was too tired to hold on, so the slave persuaded her to rest." The second master has something to order? ”

Lu Lu said, "Change me to a pot of hot tea." Then he went back to the study.

Lychee hurriedly sent the strong tea in, and 1 whispered: "Grandma ordered the slave to remind the second master, the body bones are the most important, and Hugh has to stay up for a long time." "Got it. You ask Mama Gui to give your grandmother more soup to eat, and when I am not at home, you persuade her to eat more, rest more, and don't get tired of herself. Lu Lu drank half a cup of tea in one go, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, you will go to Widow Sun's house, send some money and food to her, and tell her that if anyone else talks to her about the shop and compensation, let her come down and write it down." In case of emergency, you can send a letter to the third master of the Lin family. I will talk to the third master of the Lin family tomorrow. "Is this a trap to take people? Lychee was stunned and looked at Lu Xuan. But seeing Lu Lu looking at the dancing candle flame, his expression was very solemn and solemn, so he replied in a low voice: "Yes, the slave remembers." "I don't want to wait here, you all go and rest." Lu Mian waved his hand to let the lychee out. If there is no one to make trouble, that is the best, if there is someone to make trouble, it must be cut off by the restless hand.

After several days of cold weather, the clouds finally dispersed and the sun rose, except for the escaped steward who had not been arrested, the compensation was basically all negotiated, and the two sides chose a suitable date to hand over the money and property documents, and it was over.

Lu Yun was sick, Lin Yuzhen was so anxious that she couldn't take care of the kitchen at all, and the Lu family was also a little uncomfortable, all the housework fell on Lin Jinrong alone, and there were extra things to take care of the patient's diet and invite the doctor. So after Lychee ran to Widow Sun twice, she stopped going out and stayed at home to help Lin Jinrong take care of the house.

Mr. Shui arrived as scheduled, and seeing that he was about to enter the wax moon, he would be even busier, and he would go home small

I was afraid that it would not be possible to live and go to Pingji Temple to incense, so Tao was in a hurry, so he invited Zhou and Luo to visit Lu Yun together, and took the opportunity to probe the wind and see when Lin Jinrong would be able to go back.

And this day is the right day to pay the indemnity with Widow Sun. On this day, the loss was the greatest, and the Wang family's shop, which had been negotiated a long time ago and only needed to deliver the money, suddenly overturned. , came to Lu Lu to re-discuss the issue of compensation, so the matter of Widow Sun's family was handed over to a steward below.

The conditions for compensation have been negotiated a long time ago, and the documents have been prepared a long time ago, a very simple thing, but both parties sign and draw a pledge, and the money is counted. But on this day, several people were restless.

Lin Jinrong got up early in the morning and paid close attention to the movements in the second room: Lu Lu arrived at the banquet of the Wang family, although he tried his best to talk and laugh with people, he was a little absent-minded: Lin Shiquan got up very early and led a few capable stewards to go out together: Fan Bao took a little worry and silently looked at the old lady Lu who was sitting under the window and basking in the sun: There were a few people, who were more quiet and silent than usual.

At the end of the day, Lin Jinrong and Lin Yuzhen accompanied Zhou, Luo, and Tao out of Mrs. Lu's room and went to Lu Yun's room to visit the patient. I just sat down in the house, and before the tea was ready, I saw Fangzhu shaking outside the curtain.

Lin Jinrong stood up quietly, walked out of the room unhurriedly, and saw Fangzhu under the porch.

Fang Zhu's voice trembled a little: "Grandma, sure enough, there is a villain." Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu'er coming over with a few plates of fruit plates, so he stopped and said with a smile: "Grandma, the old lady wants to leave her uncle and wife to eat." Wang Anjia asked, I don't know what the tastes of my uncles and wives are? ”

Lin Jinrong looked down and said, "Didn't Zhuangzi just send a few cages of hares and pheasants?" The pot I ate at the winter solstice last time was good, and I just made it for my uncle's wife to try. ”

Fang Zhu answered, and asked what kind of wine was served.

Lin Jinrong saw Zhu'er holding a fruit plate into the back room, and Fang whispered, "Everything is okay?" ”
