Chapter 30: Fire and Water Are Incompatible
Ruan Shi saw Tong Zhiyan catch his words, and said with a smile: "The one that my mother introduced to you is this Miss Lin Mengru Lin on our table. Ru'er's appearance is impeccable. We also know her well, and besides, she is also the cousin of the old lady, which is naturally the most suitable. ”
After hearing this, Tong Zhipian was anxious, and she immediately retorted: "Mother, is it too early for Brother Yan to get married now?" What is Mother anxious about? ”
Hearing Tong Zhipian's words, the angry Ruan Shi just wanted to roll his eyes, and the maidservant girl next to him gave Tong Zhipian a look, and Tong Zhipian ignored it. Looking at his uncompetitive daughter, Ruan's couldn't count on it.
Xu Shi on the side looked at Lin Mengru's appearance, and knew that she was not satisfied, and then said: "Okay, Yan'er is still young, you are in a hurry as the housewife."
Hearing this, Nguyen knew that she shouldn't have mentioned it today.
Tong Zhen waved helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat, finally Yan'er came back to have a meal with the family, and I am not allowed to make any moths."
Although Ruan's heart was unwilling, he couldn't help it, the sharp-eyed Ruan saw Lin Mengru's eyes looking at the old man with admiration, and the bell rang loudly in his heart, should he ......
However, things turned out to be more and more surprising.
After eating, Tong Zhiyan and Tong Zhinuo went back to Tong Zhinuo's courtyard, Tong Zhipian was afraid that his mother would blame him, so he went back to his own courtyard, and Tong Zhen went to Ruan's courtyard with Ruan's family.
After everyone left, Xu asked Lin Mengru, "Why are you not satisfied with Yan'er?"
Lin Mengru glanced at Xu's and lowered her head and said, "Auntie, Ru'er doesn't like Tong Zhiyan, Ru'er likes it...... Loved cousin. After speaking, he seemed to be shy, and glanced to the side, not daring to look at Xu.
"What did you say?" Xu asked again in disbelief.
Looking at Xu's serious appearance, Lin Mengru was a little timid, how to say that she also came to seek refuge in others, and she must not let Xu feel that she was troublesome.
"It's okay, Ru'er didn't say anything." Lin Mengru was not satisfied, but she still looked very respectful on her face.
Xu Shi was satisfied and didn't say anything more.
……
Tong Zhinuo, who was lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, kept echoing in his mind what Ruan said during the meal just now, looking at Tong Zhilian's look of opposition, Tong Zhinuo couldn't understand it in his heart.
What the hell did the mother and daughter want to do this time, one said it so directly, and the other refused so simply.
Could it be that Tong Zhipian likes it......
This bold idea instantly poured into Tong Zhinuo's mind, and the full of doubts was also explained at this moment.
silently planned in her heart, with this handle, the mother and daughter would definitely be planted in her hands.
Since that night, Lin Mengru has also become bold, and will go to Tong Zhen from time to time, because of the relationship between Lin Mengru and Xu, Tong Zhen can only accept it silently.
On this day, Tong Zhen just came back from the court, Lin Mengru had already ordered someone to make pastries and tea, as soon as Tong Zhen entered the door, Lin Mengru passed, with a courteous look.
Tong Zhen was also tired and panicked, took the tea handed by Lin Mengru, and drank it in one gulp.
Following Tong Zhen to the study, Tong Zhen saw that Lin Mengru had no intention of leaving, looked at her with a puzzled expression, and gestured with his eyes.
Lin Mengru continued to work on her own as if she couldn't understand it, as if she had entered her own door.
"That, Ru'er, you go out and do your business! I still have to take care of official business! ”
There was no way, Tong Zhen had no choice but to speak hard.
"It's okay, cousin, I don't have anything to do for a day, so I'll come and talk to you." Lin Mengru said without hesitation.
There was no way, Tong Zhen had no choice but to continue to deal with official business, and he didn't care where Lin Mengru was doing.
After a few hours of hard work, Tong Zhen was a little tired, but the official business had not yet been dealt with, and seeing that his eyelids were about to fight together, Tong Zhen still insisted.
Lin Mengru was very distressed when she saw Tong Zhen so tired, and brought the pastries and tea prepared in advance to Tong Zhen
Tong Zhen, who was already a little tired, did not refuse when Lin Mengru brought him pastries.
Lin Mengru saw that Tong Zhen did not reject her, and she was also very happy in her heart, it was rare to have such a close contact with her cousin, and the love on her face could not be hidden.
At this time, the Ruan family heard that the old man was in the court, so he hurried over, this time it was very smooth and was not blocked by the family at the door, after all, she was pregnant, and these subordinates were still very eye-catching.
was originally a slow pace and a good mood, but when he entered the door, he was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
"What are you doing?" Nguyen shouted at the two inside.
With this sound, Tong Zhen woke up instantly, and he didn't react to why Lin Mengru was here?
"Cousin-in-law, what are you doing here? Didn't you see my cousin busy with business? Lin Mengru also said Ruan's with a reproachful face.
"Then what is my sister doing? Knowing that the master was busy with official business, why did he come to the study to disturb the master? Not to be outdone, Ruan Shi retreated.
Lin Mengru smiled lightly, "My cousin was a little tired, so I brought her some pastries." ”
"You don't have to bother with this laborious work, and my sister will come in person." As he spoke, Ruan walked over to the two.
Tong Zhen was still at a loss, and it seemed that he should still be immersed in the scene just now and couldn't extricate himself.
"What my cousin-in-law said, you see that you are still pregnant, don't toss, I will be fine this day, so I will help you share a little."
Lin Mengru looked worried about Ruan's appearance, if there were others here, I was afraid that they would all be deceived by her scene.
"This ...... My sister is a guest, these things are our own business, and I still don't bother my sister. ”
"Why are you here?" As soon as Ruan's words fell, Tong Zhen asked with a puzzled expression.
Lin Mengru listened to Tong Zhen's words, she didn't smile, the Ruan family has been here for most of the time, Tong Zhen doesn't know, it seems that her status is only like this!
"Master, the concubine is just thinking of coming over to see you......" Ruan Shi looked aggrieved.
Tong Zhen looked at the two of them like this, and he was also very irritable, "You both go out!" I have something to do, don't bother me. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was not difficult for the two of them to make a fuss, and they went out in disgrace.
Because she was pregnant, it was inconvenient for Ruan's to walk, so Lin Mengru was in a hurry and accidentally threw it at Ruan's, and was about to turn around and wave to apologize.
Before his hand was stretched out, Ruan Shi fell to the ground, Tong Zhen saw that he hurriedly came over to help her, and said with an angry face: "There are no rules, I don't know if your cousin-in-law is still pregnant?" ”
Lin Mengru said with a blank face: "I didn't, I didn't do anything!" ”
