Lin Jiabiyu

After drinking a few cups of hot wine, shopkeeper Yin's cold hands and feet regained consciousness, his face was slightly flushed, he didn't know whether he was a little drunk from the heat in the room, and he even talked more.

The wind and snow outside made the door rattling, but the room was very warm. On both ends of the bamboo couch covered with thick felt, burning charcoal cages dispelled the cold air in the room.

Shopkeeper Yin held the wine glass in his hand, listening to the sound of the wind and snow outside, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.He sighed softly.

"This year is colder than previous years. Fortunately, the day to come back is earlier. The second child in the family should say goodbye, and I hope to have a good year. The shopkeeper has been in the north these years, and he has become more and more tough."

Shopkeeper Yao squinted his eyes and smiled, as if answering the words of shopkeeper Zheng Yin, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, chewing it jinglingly.He picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine, then sighed comfortably, looked at shopkeeper Yin and said with a smile: "I am old too, half of my body has been buried in the earth, and I can't control too much. When people are old, they like The children and grandchildren are reunited, and it's more lively. It's good to make a fuss."

Shopkeeper Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he paused for a moment with the hand holding the jug, then shook his head sadly, and poured another glass of wine for Shopkeeper Yao.

The two shopkeepers sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting. It wasn't until about a quarter of the time that the shopkeeper Yin went to the bed and said goodbye. He took the thick cloak from the servant and put it on. The yard went.

Shopkeeper Yao sent the man out of the courtyard with a smile, and squinted his eyes in the snow to see the two newly hung red lanterns swaying with the cold wind at the gate, his eyes narrowed slightly.The wrinkled face made it difficult to see the expression clearly, and then he raised his voice and called the steward to invite all the juniors in the family over.

In the main courtyard of Beirongyuan, the wind and snow were filling the air outside, but the room was warm and harmonious.Lin Wan and Lu Junzhao ate together, walked outside again, took a nap for a while, and woke up again from the heat.

Seeing Lin Wan's cheeks flushed, Lu Junzhao yelled in a daze, asking for another drink of water.There was still a bit of sleepiness on the bright and rosy cheeks.The pink lips were a little dry, they opened and closed, and the voice was very soft, but it was very obvious in the empty room.

Lu Junzhao's chest was full of tenderness, he lowered his head and gently pecked Lin Wan's lips, and kissed Lin Wan's forehead when he got up.The voice responded softly: "Well, I'll get water."

Seeing Lin Wan dazedly pulling the cup with his hands, Lu Junzhao hurriedly let go of Lin Wan's arms, stood up carefully, and helped Lin Wan straighten some messy hair, and loosened the quilt slightly. some.

Qiu Zi entered the room lightly with warm water in hand, and Lu Junzhao's hearing was always amazing.Before Qiu Zi took two steps, he turned his head and stared at Qiu Zi, the warning in his eyes was strong.

Qiu Zi was stared at for a moment.Not afraid at all, he hurriedly passed the dry handkerchief and warm water from the inner room with his steps lightly.

Lu Junzhao wiped the fine sweat off Lin Wan's body, coaxed Lin Wan to drink half a glass of warm water, then tucked up the quilt again, tiptoed out of bed, got dressed in two or three steps, and walked out very lightly. inner room.

When I got to the outside, I lowered my voice and told Qiu Zi: "Madam should wake up in a quarter of an hour. Please advise Madam not to go outside to blow the cold wind. The account books are also collected as soon as possible. Don't let Madam see. If Madam asks the Lord, Just say that the master has gone to the study outside. Besides, if Madam wakes up, please go outside and ask Sanniang to come in and talk with Madam..." The tone was serious, and there was no expression on his face, but the words were long-winded, more than I don't know how many more words are needed.

Qiu Zi responded one by one, amused in her heart, but didn't dare to say much, just lowered her head and hummed non-stop, finally sent Lu Junzhao, who was nagging and extremely abnormal.

Lianqiao came up to her at some point, and smiled at Qiuzi with her eyes closed: "My lord won't be going to the barracks for a few days, but I'm just guarding my wife, and I have to say this every time I leave the main courtyard. What do I think?" Master Zhuo is more nervous than Madam Cao?"

Qiuzi turned her head and gave Lianqiao a sideways glance, raised her hand and squeezed Lianqiao's arm, and said with a smile: "Master, you should also talk about it? Don't hold back, Madam should wake up in a while, go help Yuzhu immediately." Get all the books in order."

"Didn't the Lord say it's taken?" Lian Qiao stared out of her eyes.Seeing Qiu Zi's face turning cold, her gaze disapproving, she suddenly lowered her voice, frowned in embarrassment, and before Qiu Zi taught her a lesson, she waved her hand and changed her words, "I know, I know, our aunt... madam , first. Grandpa, ahem, second. You have to listen to your wife first in everything, I know..."

Lianqiao's voice gradually dropped, and then she sighed old-fashionedly, looking at the quiet inner room behind the curtain, she muttered distressedly: "It's so cold in the north, and it's a big push, our girl... Ma'am Every day, I just sit in the yard and look at the account books. What’s so good about the account books? The more I look at them, the more headaches I get! It’s snowing so hard that I can’t even go out to get some air. I’m going to get sick from boredom!”

"Okay," Qiu Zi patted Lianqiao's arm in a funny way, pointed at Lianqiao's nose and said, "You are not worried about Madam. It is obvious that I am bored and want to go out! In this snowy day, it is everywhere. The snow is white everywhere, and it is cold and snowy, so you don’t have to suffer! You don’t even need to think about it, just go to the account book.”

Lianqiao laughed a few times, then turned around and left the house, went to the small wing at the back and together with Yuzhu, organized the account books according to the gourd painting.

As soon as Lu Junzhao left the main courtyard, Changshou, who was shivering in the snow wrapped in a thick jacket, walked up to him with a smile.

"Father."

Lu Junzhao's eyes drooped, and he glanced at Changshou's hands that were red from the cold and his somewhat purple face.

"Find someone to call Lu Ping, I want to see him." After a pause, he looked at Changshou, who was bending over and rubbing his hands unconsciously, with a slight distaste, and frowned, "Didn't I give you the moon silver? Didn't you?" Use it! Hurry up and call someone!"

Changshou was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, his heart was full of joy, he felt that his whole body was not cold anymore, he answered with a smile on his face, tugged his collar, felt the wind under his feet, and ran out quickly to find a servant, After explaining carefully for a while, he turned and went to the study.

As soon as Lupine entered the house, the two sons came looking for him.

The eldest son, Lu Cheng'an, still had some worries on his face, and ordered the boy to go down. While serving Lu Ping to untie his cloak, he asked anxiously, "Why did father come back so early today? Didn't he mean to reconcile accounts?" .” With so many shopkeepers, shops and horse farms, it’s over in just two or three hours?

Lu Ping's expression was so calm that it made people flustered, and he only responded wearily, but Lu Chengan stopped talking embarrassingly when he saw this, and didn't ask any more questions.

The youngest son Lu Jinyan's face was still a little childish, he was not handsome, but his eyes were extremely bright, he served hot tea quietly, blinked his bright eyes, and gently tugged at Lu Chengan's sleeves .

Lu Chengan glanced at his younger brother in confusion, and was about to ask, but Lu Ping made a sound at this moment.

"what happened?"

Seeing his father's question, Lu Jinyan simply stepped forward and said with a smile: "Father, sir, I have made great progress in my knowledge this year, but it is inevitable that I have lost a little bit of knowledge just staying in Weiyuan City. Therefore, I am advised to go to various places. Going for a walk will open your eyes. My son also wants to visit various places in the north."

Looking at his son's bright and clear eyes, and the longing and anticipation in those eyes, Lupine slowly closed his eyes, rubbed his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, and opened his eyes after a long time, with a tired look on his face. Looking at the situation, the voice sighed tiredly and weakly: "We will talk about this matter after a year."

Lu Jinyan's eyes darkened in an instant, but he quickly suppressed the fear and loneliness on his face, and responded with a smile.

Lu Chengan opened his mouth, looked at his younger brother and father, but he still didn't speak.

His father is the chief steward of the Lu family, and he has won the trust of the prince.Their family has a decent view in the north, and everyone has to be a little bit jealous.

He and his younger brother were also brought up pampered and pampered. Although they were not as good as the masters of the palace, they were not bullied by others. Even the young masters of the major families in the north treated each other with courtesy.

But my younger brother wants to study and make progress, but this one is even more difficult.

The room was silent for a while, Lu Chengan looked at his father's face, his heart sank, and he clearly sensed something was wrong, he hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "The big shopkeepers have also returned. ?”

"They're all back." Lu Ping raised his hand and rubbed his brows, his face returned to the previous calm, as if he had figured out something, he looked at Lu Cheng'an calmly and said, "The few you are in charge of The store and the account books are all in order, let the shopkeepers carefully make a general ledger, and send it to the second young lady later. Remember, there must be no sloppy!"

Lu Chengan frowned even more. Sensitively noticing the slight inappropriateness in Lu Ping's tone, he thumped in his heart, and hurriedly asked again: "Is my father planning to hand over all the business in the north to the second young lady? Didn't my father say..."

"This moment, that moment!" Lu Ping raised his hand to consider Lu Chengan's words, his calm expression finally changed a bit, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, but there was some loneliness and sadness in this smile. "In the news sent earlier, it was said that this young lady has a good temper and is kind to others, but she didn't find out a single thing about the business outside. Today I realized that such a little girl... No wonder the prince agreed to her entry into the mansion."

Lu Ping sighed with self-deprecation and relief, as if he was talking to himself, and also seemed to be telling Lu Chengan, "I'm afraid the business in her hands is not small, she has knowledge and means. No wonder the prince said to hand over the business in the north to Second Master. It’s just that she’s young, so she’s still a little impatient. Forget it, she’s the master of Beidi, so she has to have a bit of a temper... I’m old, and I should open my hands and enjoy the happiness. But you and your brother... ..."

This exclamation was a bit confusing, but it made Lu Chengan's heart ache when he heard it. Before Lu Ping finished sighing, the servant outside hurried to the door and shouted, panting that the second master had sent someone over.

Lupine's eyes suddenly shrank, and then he took a breath, his face regained his previous calm, he straightened his back, and walked out slowly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
