Chapter 353: Puzzled

Didn't this person say that he was leaving Beijing in June? Why are you still at this time? Did this happen on purpose, or did it happen accidentally? Lin Jinrong looked at Mei Baoqing unscrupulously across the face, and gave a salute: "Master Mei is polite."
When the ceremony was over, Lin Jinrong couldn't invite him in for tea. Mei Baoqing was not polite, and Ti step followed Lin Jinrong into the shop, and said with a smile: "Ms. Hui, come and meet Grandma Lu."
A girl about ten years old, combed in a double bun, wearing a pure white muslin skirt, without any decoration on her body, and her eyebrows resembling Mei Baoqing turned her head in front of a pile of silk from the country of Japan, her eyes staring coldly Mei Baoqing took a look, walked over slowly, and bowed to Lin Jinrong lightly: "I have seen my mistress."
"Hurry up, please." Lin Jinrong looked at her like this, guessing it was Mei Baoqing's daughter, and then took off the scene and smiled: "Do you see someone you like?"
Hui Niang smiled slightly and glanced at Mei Baoqing lightly, without speaking.
"She is my eldest daughter. I'm not at home all year round. Her mother went again. There was no one to accompany her. She was so lonely. Taking advantage of my free time today, I led her out for a stroll." Mei Baoqing said Laughing, gently said to Hui Niang: "What do you like, just let people take it."
Hui Niang walked aside in silence and continued to choose things. Lin Jinrong asked Mei Baoqing to sit on the sidelines, and before he could speak, Yao Zhuo changed his tea again.
"Please." Lin Jinrong only greeted Mei Baoqing to drink tea as if he were at home. In the past, she was full of curiosity about this person, she just wanted to get acquainted with him, so as to make her own business bigger, but now she had a chance to meet this person, but she felt that she was no longer mysterious, and the rest Just polite and careful.
Mei Baoqing calmly looked at Lin Jinrong, and said with a smile: "The business of the mistress is really good, with a complete range of goods, new and neat, and promising."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Well, it's not as prosperous as the shop in the house, but it's just a little money for powder."
Mei Baoqing smiled and said in a low voice, "I was going to start one too, but if I missed the first opportunity, Huating County will set up a city ship department."
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "The little lady has also heard about it." She didn't understand what Mei Baoqing was doing. She consciously thought that she only had one third of Mei Baoqing's eyes. it is good.
Mei Baoqing was silent for a moment, and said: "Once the Shibosi Division is started, this business will be difficult to do."
"That's no way." Lin Jinrong thought of smuggling that he used to do, and had some vague thoughts, but he didn't dare to talk easily, so he could only follow his topic.
Mei Baoqing wanted to say something but stopped, and finally stood up to say goodbye, calling his daughter Hui Niang to come over and say goodbye to Lin Jinrong. However, he saw a long follower approaching him and murmured a few words in his ear, squinting at Hui Niang from time to time. Hui Niang did not squint, only stared at her toes.
Mei Bao glanced faintly at Hui Niang and said calmly: "Since the eldest girl likes it, she just takes it all."
The long said no more casually. Since he went to the counter, he said a few words with the buddy. Several buddies immediately came out and moved all the valuable things in the shop to the counter.
Mei Baoqing's expression was faint, with a smile on his lips, but it was too pale to tell.
Lin Jinrong widened her eyes in amazement. Is this lady Mei Hui actually trying to move the things in her shop? A lot of money is still second. Look at it. Most of the gorgeous silk fabrics and dazzling hairpin accessories. This little girl is still in filial piety, and she just keeps these things when she buys them. So why do you do this?
Mei Huiniang raised her eyes and quietly glanced at Lin Jinrong, who was right in time. These eyes were black and white, but they were full of sadness and anger that did not match their age. After thinking about it, Lin Jinrong understood that this little girl was using this naive way against her father. So she took a bit of pity and comfort, smiled at Mei Huiniang, and said, "I'm so glad Huiniang likes the things in my shop, Yao Zhuo..."
Yao Zhuo knew it, and immediately went to see the goods, and gave a preferential price. Mei Huiniang curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and then lowered her head to stare at her toes. Mei Baoqing sighed, and said, "This naughty boy, haven't you thanked you Lu Family Second Aunt?"
Lin Jinrong was taken aback. She was Granny Lu before, but now she is an aunt. But it was difficult to push this cheap niece away on the spot, so he agreed and sent her father and daughter out.
"I have never brought this much money now. I will send someone over later." Mei Baoqing smiled bitterly as he watched the buddy fill up his carriage with all that many things, and walked away. Mei Huiniang got into the carriage, raised a corner of the curtain, and looked at Lin Jinrong quietly with a sad expression.
Yao Zhuo smiled and said: "This little girl is quite interesting. Before you come, you have to have the largest opal. Master Mei is not so generous, just listen, and don't say anything. You will not be able to say anything until you arrive. It's relaxed. But she took a lot of it all at once, millions of dollars, and only a family like the Mei family can fight so boldly."
Lin Jinrong turned around and entered: "When did they come?"
Yao Zhuo thought for a while, and said, "You don't have enough time for a cup of tea before you walk in. When the little girl walked in, there were still tears in her eyes."
"Go, and find out, in which store they were shopping before." Lin Jinrong thought for a moment, put this matter aside, and turned to the topic: "I have a few things to listen to your suggestions. Come, let's Look and say."
When she was here to negotiate important matters with Yao Zhuo, the people who went out to inquire about the news also came: "The boss, it is said that Mr. Mei only went out in the afternoon. Before, he only went to his shop for a while and went here. coming."
Lin Jinrong fell silent, as if he had specially intercepted her. Thinking of the sad little girl again, it seemed that she had been brought to pity specially.
Immediately afterwards, the Mei family sent money over again, and all they paid were silver, not copper coins. Lin Jinrong had the final say. The price she gave to the Mei family father and daughter was better than what she would need to pay for sending the copper coins to the silver shop for silver. The money was almost the same, that is to say, Mei Baoqing didn't let her lose a little bit, and let her do favors. For a moment, I realized that this person was really terrifying. I guessed that she would definitely change the copper coin to silver, and simply sent her the silver, which was comprehensive.
Mei Baoqing, what do you want to do? Simply showing good, really want to be friends with Lu Yan, so the eldest daughter, who has lost her mother and has an eccentric personality, is brought to her in this way? Or have other plans? Does he do business like this? Obviously impossible. It is creepy when you are stared at by a wolf without knowing its intentions.
Lin Jinrong didn't know whether the Lu family's ruin was related to Mei Baoqing, let alone what direction this variable would lead to changes in this life. She just shuddered subconsciously and hurried home.
It was almost evening, and there was no wind in the yard. Lu Yan had already returned home and was playing in the yard with Yilang in his arms. Yilang was crying and crying. He was coaxing Yilang in a low voice. He didn’t know what to say. Seeing his expression with extreme patience, Yi Lang was uncomfortable, crying hoarsely.
Lin Jinrong was so frightened by the cry that he rushed up to pick it up and said, "Why do you cry like this? Is it uncomfortable?" He looked at Pan and the others with reproach. severe.
Lu Yan was a little embarrassed. Pan and Dou'er both hung their heads and said nothing. Lin Jinrong was so anxious that he sweated out, regretting that he shouldn't have lost Yilang to go out: "Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and see."
Lu Yan replied: "It's not..." But it was Lu Yan who returned home. Yilang just woke up and lay in the cradle to be hugged. Lu Yan had a whim, and Yilang had to reach out to hold him. Yilang knew What, I only knew that I wanted to get up. The annoying person in front of me ignored him and made things difficult for him, so he hummed. Pan and Dou'er both came forward to hug, Lu Yan refused, still teasing there, and finally stabbed a hornet's nest. It's nothing more than stabbing the hornet's nest. He insists on not giving Dou'er and Pan's.
Lin Jinrong knew the reason, couldn't help being speechless, and concentrated on coaxing Yi Lang. Yi Lang was finally tired from crying. He found a familiar embrace, sniffed the familiar taste, choked to sleep, and slumped aggrieved in his sleep from time to time, Lin Jinrong. I couldn't help sighing: "This child has a temperament." It's usually okay, but it really irritates him.
Lu Yan smiled a little flatteringly: "Where are you from? You won't be like this at home."
Lin Jinrong gave him a white look: "So, is it my fault to make the child cry?"
Lu Yan was a little embarrassed, and said to him, "Boys can't get used to it."
Lin Jinrong sarcastically said: "Yes, it's right to help you grow up. One day, I'm going to ask the third aunt if you will stretch out your hand for a hug in two months."
Lu Yan's face became more and more red, and Pan and the others held back their smiles and gently carried Yi Lang out. Lin Jinrong took the veil that Cherry handed over, wiped the sweat off her face, and whispered: "I met Mei Baoqing, and took his daughter to buy a half of the things in my shop. I didn't give it to Money, but silver, and asked his daughter to call my aunt. He told me Shibosi, I didn't dare to say anything to him. You said, what does he want to do?"
Lu Yan held his chin and thought for a long time, and said, "Could it be that he has actually been involved in the business in Huating County? What do we need to do for him?" His identity is nothing more than a little more money in the family, but It's not a huge wealth either, it doesn't seem to be someone like Mei Baoqing who must do everything possible to make good friends. It seems that it is more likely to be used.
Lin Jinrong said, "I think so too. At least he has plans. I always feel unsure."
Lu Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "Let's be careful. You write a letter to the third brother, I'll find out, maybe I can find some clues."
