Generational Marriage
Chapter 23: Misfortune (3)
Longan was quick to do things, and in a moment she walked in with a box of money joyfully, and said with a smile: "Girl, the weighing is correct. There are twenty-four taels in gold and sixty-five taels in silver."
So little, I'm really poor, too, I'm not very old, and all my family expenses are from the public, and there are not many personal jewelry, let alone gold and silver? Besides, each bucket of rice now costs 30 yuan, which is not bad. Even though he thought so, Lin Jinrong was frustrated, and silently locked the money box with his eyes down, and handed it to Longan listlessly: "Take it back and put it away."
Seeing that her high spirits suddenly dropped, Litchi and Longan looked at each other inexplicably, but did not dare to ask why.
But I saw the little girl in the yard who specializes in sweeping and dou'er hurried over and stood under the curtain and said: "Four girls, the old lady has brought someone here, please go over to Tingtao immediately."
"Where are the people? Who is coming?" Lychee and Longan changed their faces at the same time. The old lady never took the initiative to call any granddaughter to his Tingtaoju, even if the girls paid respectful greetings to the old man on weekdays, he was also half. He drooped his eyelids and gave a "huh" from his nose, which was frighteningly cold and majestic.
He suddenly called Lin Jinrong to go at this time, most of which was related to today's grasshopper incident! Don't know what attitude the old lady is? If he listens and believes, and wants to punish Lin Jinrong, then Lin Jinrong has no chance of turning over. How can he be good in the future?
Their emotions were quickly passed to Dou'er. Dou'er looked left and right, and said uneasyly: "It's Maizi. He just passed a letter at the door and left."
Lychee was disappointed for a while, but he couldn't even inquire about the situation. Maizi is a small servant for the old man, but he is only a total player. At the age of seven or eight years old, he is smart and diligent. He usually spreads words on behalf of the old man’s Tingtaoju, although he can still run in the second door. But when they were outside the girls' yard, they didn't dare to come in casually.
This was expected. Since Lin Shenzhi entered the building, she has been waiting for the grandfather's summons. Lin Jinrong cheered up: "Come over with your shoes, and then take the pair of sapphire skirts that my second wife sent me in the morning and fasten them. You, who will go with me?"
Longan silently turned over the sapphire skirt, a shadow in her heart. If this time the girl is to be punished, the first thing to be unlucky is their close-serving girls. The old lady is so fierce. A few years ago, he ordered the disposal of a girl next to the young master. The girl wailed in the middle of the night and went... Longan After a cold silence, the movements on his hands slowed down.
Lychee squatted down to put shoes on Lin Jinrong, and whispered, "Girl, the servant girl, go with you."
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "Okay." She doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse today, but Litchi, one day, she will do all she can to return the Litchi. The so-called loyal servants and righteous masters are not obtained simply, nor can they be accomplished with one thing or two sentences.
At this time, Longan took out the sapphire skirt, and also took a silver-white brocade girdle to Lin Jinrong, pretending to say: "Girl, let's go together."
Lin Jinrong cordially said: "No, there must be someone in this house, so that Dou'er can't tell me when the old lady or someone comes to find me." Why bother? The human heart is nothing compared to gold and silver, that is, the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water are the most difficult to find in the world. She does not force it. Longan, just forget it.
Longan was a little embarrassed, blushing and lowering her head, whispered: "The slave and maid must be optimistic about the house."
Lin Jinrong nodded, and went outside.
Seeing that she and the lychee were walking away, Longan Fang made a "belch" and ran to the door a few steps-after the girl had locked the money box just now, she forgot to give the key to her for safekeeping! But she didn't dare to ask her to follow Lin Jinrong at this time. Longan stood tangled for a long time before entering the house with her handkerchief.
Old Madam Lin hated the people especially, so Lin Jinrong walked a little hurriedly, bypassing a few houses, and crossing two or three small wooden or stone bridges. She slowed down and calmed down as she walked.
Outside Tingtaoju, where pine trees can be planted, she stood still, lowered her eyes and moved forward with the lychee to greet the young man at the gate of Tingtaoju: "The four girls are here to listen to the teachings of the old lady."
The young man didn't dare to look at Lin Jinrong, lowered his eyelids and sang a promise. When he went inside to reply, Shao Qing returned and said, "The old lady has a guest in the room. Please wait for the four girls in the side room."
Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes, led by the young man, and headed to the side house. The moment she entered the door, she heard Mrs. Lin laugh: "So, this year is really good and a good harvest! God bless me! "
He heard a strange male voice accompany with a laugh: "Yes, God bless me, God bless me! That uncle, the few acres of land in my nephew's house..."
This tremblingly called the old man Lin as the uncle, who is such a kind person? She also knows the uncles and brothers in the family. Mrs. Lin always helps as long as he can, and definitely won't make people beg so. Lin Jinrong was curious in her heart, but inconvenient to pause, so she could only walk straight in, and let the small servant "squeak" tightly shut the door of the side room. This sitting was nearly an hour.
No one sent water or tea, nor did they come to ask about it. They only heard footsteps coming and going from the door, but they never stopped at the door of the side house. It seemed that everyone had forgotten that their masters and servants were still waiting for the old lady to summon them. Seeing that the original golden window paper gradually dimmed, there was a loud cracking sound from the next door, and the lychee could not stand: "Girl, slave girl, go and ask?"
"If it's convenient, by the way, who is the person who begged the old man just now?" Lin Jinrong sat on the six-sided round pier with Ruyi Wen, her back straight. Mrs. Lin was hanging her on purpose. If she couldn't bear her personality, she would have been unable to bear it, but she, in her past and present life, has long been used to being lonely and deserted.
Lychee didn't ask too much, opened the door in silence, and turned back, with a slightly worried look on his face: "The first guest has already gone, and now the third master is in it. Listening to the voice is not very good. "
Lin Jinrong curled her lips, and the anxiety in her heart suddenly disappeared. In her previous life, she didn't get close to the old man. She knew some of the characteristics of the old man. It must be that the third man of her family was trained again. The old man was going to train first. Yes, let's train her little one again. When it's her turn, the old lady's anger will almost disappear. And what to do next, she has already calculated carefully. Seeing that the lychee was too worried, he simply distracted the lychee: "Tell me about the guest just now, why can't I tell which elder in the clan is?"
Litchi didn’t forget to inquire about it, and whispered: “That’s an old man from his family who went to join in marriage in the past year. Everyone calls him Lord Lin Chang. It seems that when he was the first two generations, which old man went to I went to study in the south and stayed there to buy a family property. I offended people there a few years ago, and I couldn’t live it before I came back to join a family. The elder came to help buy the land and build a house. No, it’s autumn harvest. Paying taxes, but his family has no fame, and there are so many people who eat, so he wants to put his acres of real estate under our family's name... Taking advantage of the old lady's birthday, he will come to give gifts and take the opportunity to speak."
Lin Jinrong knew about this kind of thing. It was called "scheming the tenant". When she was still in the Lu family, someone had asked the Lu family for asylum. In order to avoid taxation, some small and medium landlord’s homes pretended to be tenants of official households such as the Lin family, so as not to be taxed. According to Mrs. Lin's temperament, although he is full of family and country, he will definitely help this person to evade taxes and make a good name among the family. Wait, autumn harvest, taxes... Lin Jinrong looked down and thought for a while, suddenly remembered a very distant event, and silently thought for a while, her eyes suddenly brightened, if it succeeds, then her private house next year Money will not only have this pitiful little bit.
The master and servant waited quietly for a long time again. The sky went completely dark, the lanterns under the porch also rose, and the sound of footsteps passed a few more times. Fang heard Fuquan whispered at the door: "The old lady invites the four girls to go over. ."
Lychee took a breath, Lin Jinrong stood up, carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt, and trimmed her haircut, before steadily walking out. As soon as Lychee followed her a few steps, Fuquan reached out and stopped him: "Grandma Only the four girls are invited."
Lin Jinrong turned his head, but seeing that Lychee's face was pale under the red lantern, her eyes were full of panic. Lin Jinrong gently shook her head at her, and calmly said: "That's the case, you can just wait for me outside for lychees." Then he stepped into the study of Mrs. Lin steadily, and went on without raising his head: "Granddaughter. Greetings to grandfather, grandfather blessing."
After a long time, Fang heard Mrs Lin's slightly tired voice: "Get up."
"Yes." Lin Jinrong stood still, raising his eyes to look forward.
Old Madam Lin was sitting behind the long and wide red sandalwood bookcase, and the whole person was hidden in the shadow of the lantern, her back was straight, and her old but not dim eyes looked at Lin Jinrong lightly, her voice flat, cold and majestic: "You provoked the matter today?"
Why do people in this world already know the truth, and still like to play this kind of guessing and bluffing game, and enjoy it? Since she dared to do it, Lin Jinrong curled her lips at him amusedly: "I wonder which one my grandfather asked?"
Old Mrs. Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, not angering himself: "What are the few things you are talking about?"
Lin Jinrong’s voice was calm and crisp: "There are three. The first one is that Brother Wu took the cousins of Wu and Lu to see the Lingbi stone that grandfather loved the most. The base of Lingbi stone was unstable and fell into the lake. In the middle, the fifth brother was afraid of being punished and would jump into the water. It was the stone that I stopped and asked my mother to send people to hang it. The second one was that the fifth brother Lu gave the seventh brother a grasshopper, which attracted the sixth sister, the seventh sister, and the seventh sister. My brother got into a dispute because of this. I reprimanded the sixth sister and the seventh sister and threatened them to apologize to the seventh brother. This caused the seventh sister to lose her temper and lose face. In the third case, the sixth sister and the seventh sister went to my grandmother to cry and complain. I was afraid of implicating my mother and younger brother, and instigated the seventh brother to hold Shou Tao to seek shelter from my grandfather."
You can lower your head, but you can never collapse your waist. Lin Jinrong knelt upright on the blue bricks, straightened her back, and pressed the cold blue bricks with her forehead. His voice was quite Dow-like, and his voice was somewhat hard like a metal like Dow: "Grandfather wants to punish granddaughter, and granddaughter recognizes it. Please grandfather punish me."
