Chapter 144: preparation

In the afternoon, when the wind blew across the courtyard, the old elm tree made a pleasant rustle, awakening Lin Jinrong, who was sitting under the window, meditating. Her gaze fell not far away. On the huā pear wood shelf, there was a verdant gall bottle, and inside the gall bottle was the thorny yellow wild huā brought back from the country.
It has been five days, and it is still open in its fullest posture. The huā flowers at the lower end were carefully trimmed by lychees, and the huā bone flowers on the tops bloomed eagerly, and the green leaves became more and more radiant, setting the half-room spring. Even if Lin Jinrong felt it pierced his eyes again, he had to admit that this huā was really beautiful, and it was more patient than those peach huā and plum huā.
Lychee and Mother Gui sat quietly under the curtain doing Lin Jinrong's dowry, and looked up at her from time to time. Seeing her staring at the huā in a daze, the two of them exchanged glances tacitly and continued to work. The girls from other families embroidered the dowry and embroidered them with great joy. Lin Wu, now she has sex, and hides in her room embroidering the dowry all day long. They are the only masters who love counting money and reading books. It doesn't help, that is, reading miscellaneous books, writing, dividing tea and blowing xuns. Even if my hands are itchy and I want to make needlework nuns, I do it for Dow and Lin Shenzhi, Lin Jinyin,
Footwear of Wu et al.
What can they do if the master does not do it? It's not just doing it for her. After all, when I walked in, so many relatives, such as veils and sachets, had to send some things to make it plausible, and they had to embroider them well to save people from laughing at her. Mother Gui was doing it, she suddenly remembered the annoying thing she had recently added, she couldn't help but bit her ear with the lychee: "Have you noticed that the girl's feet seem to have grown."
Litchi’s little liver suddenly jumped wildly, and then it was a bit funny again. After more than two years, she discovered that she did not know whether she and the girl were covering up so well every day, or whether Mother Gui was now old and her mind was in her mind. Longan who is caught by Gong's mother every day? Muttered in my heart, and pretended to be surprised:, "How do you say?"
Mother Gui looked at the lychees suspiciously: "You didn't find it? I didn't tidy up the girl's shoes for a long time. I went to collect it that day and suddenly found that there were so many more shoes than the shoes she had worn before." Looking at Lin Jinrong's feet, they were really big.
Lychee gently pressed Mother Guibi's gesture, and whispered: "[I] waits on the girl day and night" I really didn't notice. Mother, did you remember wrong? "
Mother Gui sullen her face and said, "No, I brought the girl big, how can I forget? It's because you and Cherry are waiting for the girl recently, so I asked you. I remember the girl wore it earlier. The shoes are in the penthouse, wait for me to flip through..."
Lychee smiled nonchalantly, "What then?"
Mother Gui didn't understand: "Huh?"
Lychee put down the embroidery in her hand, and said solemnly, "Even if the girl's shoes are bigger now than before, what can the mother do? Go and talk to the wife? Huh? What about the wife? The girl is fifteen years old. ."
Mother Gui thought about it for a while, lowered her head and continued to work, but embroidered one more butterfly tentacles. Raise your head again" eyes are red: "The girl is older,
"After a moment of silence, he scolded Lychee: "You are confused, how can you run your girl around!" This is a major event, how can it be better to be known in the future? No, I'm going to talk to my wife. "
Lychee glanced at Lin Jinrong in the pawn, lowered his eyes and said in a dazed and indifferent manner: "Mother, if you want to say it, just do it, and you can take you off as much as possible while it is still early.
I'm all on my back. "
Mother Gui was embarrassed for a while, and she really shed tears: "Am I that kind of person? I am for the sake of the girl. I will enter the Lu's door in the future and be known, what should I do?"
Lychee forced him to ask, "I'll just ask the mother, what can I do if I tell my wife? Make a fuss and stuff the girl's feet back again?"
Mother Gui was not good at talking, and she was speechless for a while. But in her consciousness, this is wrong." It is apostasy, but she can't find a reason to refute Lychee. But she really dare not ask her to go and tell Dow about this.
Suddenly seeing the curtain move, Lin Jinrong wiped her and walked out," said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about me in the future. You can just do it according to my intentions, and I will carry the rest. Now, Lychee packs up things and goes to the wife's room with me. "
Lychee silently let go of his work and waited for Lin Jinrong to go out. Mother Gui looked outside and persuaded, "Girl, the sun is poisoned now, and my wife is also taking a nap, why don't you go there later?"
Lin Jinrong shook his head: "I suddenly remembered something. I have to talk to my wife now." At this point, the Taoist family sent to the Lin family to announce the good news. A few days ago, she had asked someone to bring a letter to Lin Shiquan and asked him to come back recently. If she didn't expect it badly, Lin Shiquan would come with the Annunciation. At this point, people are happy to go, it is the most convenient time to talk to Lin Shiquan.
Seeing that Mother Gui couldn't persuade her, she simply died and continued to sit back and do needlework.
Out of the yard, Litchi whispered, "Girl, Mother Gui knows.
Lin Jinrong said: "I've heard it all. You did a good job, that's what you want. Then practice your writing well and learn to read the account book, so I can rest assured that I will leave things to you in the future."
Her tone was very cautious, and Litchi could also hear it, and she couldn't help but smiled and said, "Is it possible that the girl intends to let the slave and maid be a female accountant?"
Lin Jinrong glanced at her with a faint smile: "How about the female hand? I will manage the money for you, and I will give you an order. Even the big men will listen to you."
Lychee stammered, flushed and said, "The girl made fun of the slave girl again."
Lin Jinrong said, "Who is laughing at you? Is it possible that if you read those letters, you don't understand a little bit? That's not just teaching you to read."
Lychee was startled, and suddenly he understood a little bit. He couldn't help feeling a little astonished, and looked at Lin Jinrong inquiringly. Since Lin Shiquan went to Qingzhou and came back from the remote gate, he would write to Lin Jinrong from time to time. The letter usually described a business in detail, who to do it with, how to do it, and sometimes he wrote about his own and people. Feelings of communication. Every time Lin Jinrong read the letter, he would give it to her and let her read it again. Pick some questions to ask her. She couldn't answer, and Lin Jinrong wouldn't force her. He just took the letter and sat at the window to try and think, often sitting for a long time.
Lin Jinrong said in a low voice, "Litchi, maybe there will be more letters of this kind in the future. I plan to give my third brother the money in my hand so that he can learn to do some business by himself. He will write often, maybe with me. It may be the one who asked for my opinion. You have to learn to read letters and deal with certain things to help me."
Litchi’s mouth widened again: "Girls, slaves and maids are always in the inner yard, but I heard Mama Gong mention some things about the old uncle’s house. Others learn to do business from being an apprentice and often do it. It took seven or eight years, more than ten years to dare to go out to do business alone, and now the young master has only been with his uncle for more than a year, so don't worry? What if you lose?"
Lin Jinrong frowned, "In the beginning, he won't do too much, just let him practice his hands." As long as Lin Shiquan is really consistent with what he showed, she won't be compensated. She still has this point, not to mention, she I really can't wait.
Although Lychee feels very happy to be trusted and relied upon, she still has countless worries: "What about the uncle?"
Lin Jinrong smiled, "This is what I want to discuss with my wife today. Let's open a store by ourselves, so we can't always take advantage of the uncle and the young master? Isn't it? No matter how good the relatives are, the two surnames and the third girls are also Those who need the backbone, and the Seventh Young Master will be officially apprentice to study soon, can't people say that our family has always been dependent on the sister's in-laws?"
Seeing her like this, Q planned it out. Lychee has nothing to say, and all she can do is to do her best as she asks.
Shao Qing, the two of them arrived outside Dow’s yard, and they happened to bump into the wife who was outside the second door to announce the good news: "The Tao family has sent someone to report, and the three girls are safe!"
Dow heard the sound and was hurriedly dressed by Chunya and Xiaye. The smile on his face couldn't stop: "Quickly let people come in! Go and say goodbye to the old lady and the master." He commanded boldly. :, "Let's go down with the rewards that I prepared earlier!" Congratulations in the room, and the joys rang into one, it was so lively.
Lin Jinrong looked at it with a smile, and felt it felt really good. The good news came that year. Although Dow ordered people to reward the money, it was far less generous.
It was Ms. Song who was next to Wu's family, and Ms. Yang, who was Lin Jinyin's companion room. The two of them smiled and talked to Dow about the situation at the time: "It went well! The young master weighed six catties and eight taels. Pure, well-behaved, my wife was too anxious to drink the medicine before. As soon as she heard that the mother and the child were safe, she ate half a bowl of porridge! Her spirits looked much better, and she was stable these days. Well, when I woke up, I drank two bowls of chicken soup, ate a chicken leg, and shouted hungry."
"You can eat it, you can eat it!" Dow smiled into a huā, "Tell her to be more careful, but don't eat it as a fat man, and you won't get it back."
When Mama Gong led the two to rest and eat, Mama Yang was a few steps behind and asked Dow what he meant: "Young Master Quan has also followed this time. I'll be waiting outside the second door right now. See you my wife?"
Dow said, "I definitely want to see you, but I'm going to the old lady's room to announce the good news. Let him see you first. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later."
Lin Jinrong said: "Mother, I'll greet the third brother." Tao didn't care: "Xiu is going to be negligent." Yan Pai hurried to Hele Hall.
All the way, the clothes are full of wind, with a smile on his face, and he will reward him whenever he meets people.
Lin Jinrong silently recalled what he was about to say to Lin Shiquan, confirmed that there were no loopholes, and walked toward the small courtyard where he stayed with his head high.
