Chapter 81: Scheme and greed for money come to your door
Lin Jiangwan was indeed in a hurry and came to the Lin family quickly.
The old lady looked at her daughter, who looked and was in good spirits, and felt relieved, "Is she okay?"
"It was fine originally, they were so nervous!" Lin Jiangwan refused to tell the truth.
After chatting for a while, Lin Jiangwan asked, "How is the arrangement going at Xiu Yatou's place?"
The old lady said, "It should be almost done! I didn't go and take a look. Hey, this girl...maybe she has been struggling. There are only a lot of flowers in the garden, but she sent people out to buy a bunch of them. Here, these pots
Clivia, that’s it.”
Lin Jiangwan took a look and saw four large pots of clivia in blue porcelain pots. The long green leaves and plump red and yellow flowers contrasted with the famous paintings and porcelain placed in the room, making them look particularly rich and heavy. Ha, this girl
, I really know how to do it...
Mrs. Lin looked at the flowers and she liked them in her eyes. "These flower farmers are really capable now. Look, how beautiful are these flowers?"
"Then let me go and see what has been done to my yard." Lin Jiangwan suddenly remembered that the yard still belonged to him!
The old lady said casually, "It's not that big of a deal. Go and have a look. If there's anything you need... don't worry too much about her."
Lin Jiangwan became anxious when she heard this, "Mom, what are you talking about?! Who am I? How can I care about her? Oh! For her, you want to set the stage for your daughter? What's going on?" His face turned pale.
Come on...
When the old lady saw Lin Jiangwan saying she was annoyed, she quickly explained, "Oh... why are you in a hurry! What do you mean, mother? I've been a little tired recently. That girl, there's something wrong, she's quite capable."
Noisy."
Lin Jiangwan raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I'll go and see what's going to happen?! Is it causing trouble? Just punish him."
After that, he stood up, with a hint of mockery on his lips, and took the girl to Chaoyunju.
Old Mrs. Lin let out a long sigh, this girl is so impatient, she can't help but coax her into the wrong one... her enemy!
Lin Jiangwan walked outside Chaoyunju and looked at the small courtyard where he had lived for seventeen years. Suddenly he felt sad... In his boudoir, he read poetry, watched the rain, the first fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and the withered leaves in winter.
Branches will cause some sadness in spring and autumn, but compared with now, isn't that just sad?
The gate of the courtyard is open, and the huge ginkgo tree is lush and green. The flowers are basking in the sun and exuding their fragrance. The fish in the fish basin are waving their red tails.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard laughter coming from the main room, and a female voice was saying something exaggeratedly...
Nan Yan and Bei Fei were standing in the yard working. When they heard footsteps, they turned around and saw that it was Lin Jiangwan who had arrived. They hurriedly came up and saluted, "Auntie, grandma is here!?"
In the room, Fang Qunqun was telling a joke to Lin Zhixiu. When he heard that Lin Jiang was late, Fang Qunqun stood up quickly, still a little nervous. Lin Zhixiu pulled her with a smile, and the two of them walked out of the room.
When Lin Jiangwan saw the two people coming out, his breathing stopped.
Lin Zhixiu wore a very light yellow dress with a few peonies embroidered on it. The hair on the top of her head was combed with two small pulls, and the hair at the back was draped softly behind her back. Only two Dongzhu hairpins the size of lotus seeds were pinned.
.The whole person is like a hibiscus emerging from water.
Fang Qunqun, on the other hand, was wearing a flesh-red top and gray pleated skirt. She had enlarged breasts and looked as good as a ripe peach.
Two completely different people got together and were quite happy.
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Auntie, you are here! Come in quickly!"
Fang Qunqun called out softly, "Sister." Lin Zhixiu could hear that she was a little nervous.
Lin Jiangwan hummed and didn't look at them. Instead, he looked around the room.
All the things she had in her boudoir were taken away when she got married. I remember she didn't take a screen with her, and it's gone now too.
The one now is a new one, maybe this girl brought it back?! Oh, it’s An’s style. But it’s such a good thing!
"Let me take a look, is it almost done?!" Lin Jiangwan turned to look at the flower hall again...
"Thank you, auntie, for thinking about it. It's almost done. There are still some fragments, so I'll sort them out slowly. Where's Sister Xin?"
Lin Jiangwan said, "She has class today and didn't come."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Sister Xin is still in school! I admire her!"
Lin Jiangwan smiled, "Your grandmother said you didn't want to go?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Xiu'er just came back, and she still has to spend time with her grandmother! Let's wait until autumn! Aunt, how do you like drinking Tieguanyin? My uncle brought it when he came over a few days ago, and it tastes good.
This weather is perfect for drinking.”
Lin Jiangwan couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
She came just as she said she would, with empty hands and nothing! But she only smiled and didn't care.
Fang Qunqun said, "Sister, sit and talk with Xiu'er. I've been here for a long time and I have to go back and take a look."
Lin Jiangwan still hummed.
Fang Qunqun quickly ran away... After leaving the courtyard, she couldn't help but curl her lips, what's there to be proud of? You still look down on me... I've been in the Lin family for so many years, and you haven't caught a single thread from you, so why are you like me?
Even Xiu'er, my niece, can't compare! Humph! You're such a big-faced thing with small hands!
He flicked the veil and walked away.
Lin Zhixiu and Lin Jiangwan were sitting in the flower hall, with a round table in the middle and two comfortable rattan chairs with thin cotton cushions and a layer of fine linen cushions on them. In summer, they felt very refreshing just sitting there.
It’s really particular!
Lin Zhixiu took matters into her own hands and made tea.
Lin Jiangwan saw her tender and thin hands holding the tea set steadily, unhurriedly. Every move she made was like a painting.
Once upon a time, my life was like this... "Seeing you like this reminds me of the time when I lived here. Those days are really nostalgic. After getting married, I am so busy with everything every day.
…It’s really a rare opportunity to do nothing, think about nothing, just sit and drink tea and read a book.”
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Aunt, you are in charge of a large family and have so many social activities outside. You must be busy! My eldest aunt is like this too! You see, Xiu'er lives in the same home as her and I want to see her.
It’s not easy either.”
Lin Jiangwan secretly resented it! She was busy! I came without even showing my face! After doing such an ugly thing, I didn’t even touch her! Come on, do this with me! Hum, sooner or later one day...
I was hating in my heart, but I was smiling on my face, "Your eldest sister's wedding is coming soon, she really can't take it easy."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Yes! Although the eldest sister is in the house all day, she has no time to spare! Her yard is full of piles! Every day she has to sort out her dowry and talk to the people in charge of the property.
Anyway, I'm very busy! Aunt, when my eldest cousin came to the palace, people from the palace were helping to do those things. You can't help, right? You will be a little particular about it, right?"
Lin Jiangwan responded, "Well... it's different from marrying into an ordinary family. You don't have to bring in so many necessities, such as furniture. She can't leave the palace, and it's not easy for her to take care of the property."
…”
Speaking of Yan Yun, her heart sank.
He quickly looked around and said, "These ornaments are quite interesting. I remember your mother always has some novel things."
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "My mother... has many hobbies and likes novel things. Every time my father goes to a place, he always brings some when he comes back. As time goes by, he has to store them in several rooms. When Xiu'er came to Beijing, he only brought some with him.
!There are too many things, some are too heavy, too big, and some are particularly afraid of being bumped. I can’t bring them back, so I have left them all in my hometown.”
"Well, your parents are really close friends." Lin Jiangwan said after Lin Zhixiu.
Her husband also treated her like this, right?
I remember that when he went out at that time, he would bring back a lot of things for himself. However, many of them were useless things. For example, when he came back from Sichuan, he brought a lot of bamboo utensils, which he did not use on weekdays. It was dry in the winter and they all cracked.
.One time, when she took it, she even scratched her hand... and everyone threw it away!
I still remember that Grandma Zhang advised her not to throw it away but to leave it alone, but she didn't listen.
But now, he hasn’t given it for a long time, right?
She didn't even think about it carefully...she just got distracted again...
Lin Zhixiu said, "My parents are very good. When they are together, they always have endless things to talk about. Sometimes, Xiu'er doesn't even know what she is talking about! Anyway, either her mother is laughing or her father is laughing... and they are still together."
Laugh! Those days were so good!" Her eyes were a little red and she quickly stopped talking.
Lin Jiangwan was caught in that scene, but it was she and Yan Jun who were there, and they always had endless things to talk about. After getting married, when I was sorting out my things, I discovered that their letters were actually packed in two big boxes.
Can……
Lin Jiangwan calmed down suddenly. Why should I think about all this today?
What's the use of thinking about this?!
What I came here to do is important!
If you send it in a hurry, you are welcome to catch insects.
