Mrs. Xie followed Lin Qingwan up the mountain, she didn't move for a long time, but the slow hillside made her breathless.

But Lin Qingwan didn't stop, so she didn't stop, and insisted on walking to the cold spring.

Mama Yang originally wanted to open her mouth to go down the mountain, but when she saw her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walking forward as if they were competing, she had no intention of stopping her.

Lin Qingwan was fine, but her breathing was slightly quicker, but Mrs. Xie could only stand holding on to the trunk.

Lin Qingwan couldn't help laughing, "Mother, will you accompany me up the mountain to get a pot of cold spring water every day in the future?" ”

Mrs. Xie shook her head slightly, "You, you, are still so naughty, you want me to move around more, why bother to find such a reason?" ”

Lin Qingwan tilted her head and winked at her, "Is the mother willing?" ”

"I'm going to say no, are you going to find another reason to pull me out?"

Lin Qingwan nodded with a smile.

Looking at Sister Wan who was smiling like this, Mrs. Xie really couldn't associate her with Sister Wan who everyone said was determined to die, Mrs. Xie walked to a stone by the cold spring and sat down, and a cool breath came to her face.

Mrs. Xie suddenly had no suspicions, and she was in the mood to test again.

"Sister Wan, have you ever thought about how you will live in the future?"

Of course, Lin Qingwan thought about it, she only had one goal to stay here, not to mention that in the future, she even planned the days of her life.

But these words obviously can't be explained together, so she thought for a while and said: "Raise the eldest sister and find her a good husband, it is best to watch her give birth to two children, one of which will be passed to the Lin family." ”

Every word is for Lin Yubin.

Mama Yang's heart tightened, and Mrs. Xie also looked up at her, and said softly: "I'm asking about you, not Yubin." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "This is my goal in the future, and my days will naturally revolve around this goal in the future." ”

Mrs. Xie's heart was as uncomfortable as blocking a stone, she was silent for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "Sister Wan, you are still young, if you meet a young talent you like in the future, I ......"

"Mother," Lin Qingwan interrupted her and looked at her seriously, "Sister Wan is already married to Erlang, and the wedding dress has also been sent to the tomb, there is no 'if'." ”

Mrs. Xie opened her mouth, choked and unable to speak.

Lin Qingwan squatted in front of her, held her hand and said, "Mother, Dr. Xu has given you a pulse, you have been cold recently, which is not a good thing." ”

Mrs. Xie looked at her.

Lin Qingwan raised her head and looked into her eyes and said, "Erlang is dead, but he lives in our hearts, so let's treat him as if he is alive, okay?" If he were alive, he would have hoped that we would eat well, sleep well, drink well, take care of our bodies, and live a long life, wouldn't we? ”

"Will you live a hundred years?" Mrs. Xie asked her.

Lin Qingwan was silent for a moment and said, "I will do my best to live longer." ”

Mrs. Xie could see that she was lying, but she didn't expose it, she just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of my body, you too." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, dipped in a sneer, and said, "After all, our enemies are still alive." ”

Mama Yang covered her chest in shock, a strange light flashed in Mrs. Xie's eyes, and her hands couldn't help but clench into fists.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally made a pot of water and went down the mountain, and since then, Mrs. Xie and Lin Qingwan went to the Zhuangzi early every morning to hang around, and then went up the mountain to get a pot of cold spring water, and then bathed and refreshed after going down the mountain.

If Lin Yubin was at home, they would stay in the forest for a while, watch her run after the pheasant, and then pick a handful of wildflowers and go back to the bottle.

When the old uncle confessed the farm work in Zhuangzi, he finally found time to find a reason to come to the other courtyard when it was already August.

He stared at Steward Zhong with wide eyes, "So Mrs. Xie didn't persuade my aunt, but my aunt persuaded Mrs. Xie?" ”

Steward Zhong nodded in frustration, "No, my aunt and grandmother have not changed much, but Mrs. Xie seems to have figured it out, in addition to copying scriptures, she also reads other books every day, and will also instruct her aunt and grandmother to manage the farm, which is very different from when she first came." Uncle Zhong, didn't you say that you wanted Mrs. Xie to persuade your aunt and grandmother? But I don't think it's going to work. ”

Uncle Zhong glanced at him and said, "What are you anxious about, you have to take your time in this matter, I'll go see Mrs. Xie, by the way, what about my aunt?" ”

"My aunt and grandmother have gone to the field, and today I will harvest rice in the sickle, and my aunt and grandmother will go and have a look."

Uncle Lao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, patted his clothes and said, "Then I'll go and say hello to my in-laws." ”

Mrs. Xie had been waiting for him for a long time, and since Leng Quan's conversation, Mrs. Xie no longer doubted that as the letter said, Sister Wan did have a will to die, but she had a will to die with hope.

And her hope is Lin Yubin!

She didn't have a good way to deal with this, because she was still immersed in the grief of losing her son, how could she persuade Sister Wan to want to open it?

So she could only look at Lao Zhongbo apologetically and said, "I can only say that I will try my best to encourage her, and there is no guarantee that I will be able to persuade her." ”

Uncle Lao Zhong said gratefully: "This is very good, there is a lady to persuade me, and the old slave thinks that my aunt and grandmother will want to open a lot." ”

Seeing that he was still running around for this at his age, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but sigh: "You have a heart, no wonder Lord Lin can rest assured, it turns out that there are loyal servants and capable ministers in the family." ”

Mrs. Xie put on a high hat for Uncle Lao Zhong, and Uncle Lao Zhong naturally flattered him back, thinking that it was a blessing for their aunt and grandmother to have such a tolerant mother-in-law as you.

The two complimented each other for a while, and then tacitly reached a consensus on "persuading Sister Wan to want to open, and then move towards a happy life".

By the time Lin Qingwan returned to the courtyard with a sweat, Uncle Lao had already left.

Lin Qingwan asked people to fetch water and bathe, "What's the matter with Uncle Zhong, why don't you wait for me to come back before leaving?" ”

"I said that I came to deliver pears to my aunt and eldest lady, but because Zhuangzi had a lot of work and rushed back to work, so I didn't stay much." Bai Mei undressed Lin Qingwan and added: "Before leaving, Uncle Zhong went to greet Mrs. Xie and talked for a while." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Uncle Zhong saw his mother-in-law for the first time, and he should indeed go to see him." What did they say? ”

"Mrs. Xie is waiting for Mama Yang by her side, we didn't hear it, but do you want the slave maid to inquire?"

"No need," Lin Qingwan took off her clothes, turned the screen and said, "Send some of the pears sent to Chunxiaoyuan, pick out a basket and hang it into the well, and take it out to eat when Ming'er is the hottest." ”

Bai Mei regretted, "It's a pity that it's difficult to buy cold melons in Suzhou, otherwise the cold melons will be more relieved of the heat if they are put in the well." In the past, when the lord was there, there were people from the capital every year to pay homage, but this year it is gone. ”

Lin Qingwan paused, turned her head and asked, "You all want to eat cold melon?" ”

Bai Mei hurriedly said: "No, it's just a pity, I can't eat cold melon this year." ”

After all, it's about to be out of season.

Lin Qingwan thought for a moment and turned to take a bath.

Cold melon is watermelon, the Central Plains also cultivated, but very few, in the past when the country was not divided this thing was mostly transported from the Western Regions.

In the past hundred years, there have been continuous wars, most of the people can't even eat, let alone make great efforts to grow cold melons, and most of the trade routes in the Western Regions have been interrupted, and watermelons are heavy and fragile, so merchants naturally don't like to transport them, and most of them bring valuables such as jewelry and spices.

So now the cold melon is mostly grown locally, and the yield is very low, so this fruit is not only expensive, but also unaffordable without channels.

In the past, the Lin family didn't need to buy it, Lin Jiang's identity was there, and there were many people holding it and sending it to him.

And this year, no one from the Lin family sent it, and it seems that they can't buy it.

If Bai Mei hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have noticed this problem.

Lin Qingwan came out of the bath, changed into dry clothes and said: "Although the season of eating cold melon is almost over, there must still be people selling it now, let Steward Lin buy some back, the weather is hot these days, just eat it." ”

Bai Mei happily responded, and turned around to find Steward Lin.

Steward Lin couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in surprise: "Why did my aunt and grandmother think of eating cold melon at this time?" ”

As the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, he had to think of what the master thought of first, and he also had to think of what the master couldn't think of, and he sent someone to buy it when the cold melon came out in late June.

Those big businessmen Lin Steward also knew him, and he thought it was just a matter of one sentence, but who knew that they actually pushed it off, saying that the cold melons were all pre-sold and could not be vacated for the Lin family.

But Steward Lin knew that this was not to be sold to the Lin family. He didn't expect these people to be so snobbish, the old man just left, and they were so snub to the Lin family.

Steward Lin was very angry at that time, but he couldn't tell his aunt that the master was gone, and his aunt was just angry in vain if he knew.

Originally, my aunt didn't think of eating cold melon, so he just knew about it, but now my aunt and grandmother want to eat it......

Steward Lin hesitated for a moment and went to Lin Qingwan to confess.

He couldn't buy cold melons when they were in July, and now in August, he couldn't buy them even more when the cold melons were about to pass the season.

Lin Qingwan took a sip of tea and asked lightly, "So some people don't buy the Lin family's account at the beginning?" ”

Steward Lin bowed his head in shame, "Yes, it's us who is not doing well." ”

failed to keep the connections of the Lin family.

"Is that true of everyone?"

"That's not true, except for those few, the things that other families sell to our family are not only of high quality, but also have not increased in price."

But only those few families have cold melons.

Lin Qingwan bowed her head and asked, "In addition to this matter, do you have anything else to hide from me?" ”

Lin Qingwan said: "Steward Lin, there are some things that you think are hiding from me for my own good, but in fact, it just makes me have a clear understanding of our situation, and it is plain and funny." ”

Steward Lin was a little sad, lowered his head and said, "Steward Zhong said that there are some problems in the bookstore, but they can still deal with it, so they didn't report it." ”

Lin Qingwan asked with a cold face, "What's the problem?" ”

"Several bookstores that have been buying books with the bookstore have reduced their orders, and the price of high-quality rice paper that our bookstore wants to buy has increased a lot, and now they are trying to find a way."

"Someone is targeting?"

Steward Lin sighed, "There are people who are targeting, but there are also a few who see the wind and make the rudder, holding high and stepping low." ”

"Those few people who saw the wind and didn't mention it, who deliberately targeted us?"
