Lin Joy accompanied the old lady after finishing her meal before packing up her things and preparing to go out. The old lady held her hand.
"Yesterday I promised you that you didn't accept the money. I only paid for the room and it paid for the medicine. You must accept the things I give you today."
She took out a jade pendant of excellent quality, placed it directly in Lin Yuxi's hand, and closed her hand.
"This is an old thing belonging to my old man. He gave it to me when I was young. He and I were in love all our lives, but he passed away early and left me alone in the world."
"I give this to you because I hope that you and Mr. Chen will be in love and grow old together. You can't refuse."
Lin Joy said, "But how can I accept your beloved thing?"
"My beloved, remember in your heart that things are just dead. I am already old and I don't know how many more years of life I have. In the future, even if I want to give this thing to someone who is destined, I'm afraid I won't have the chance. You should keep it."
."
Lin Hexi couldn't bear to refuse. This could be regarded as the old man's longing for her husband. She hoped that this longing would last forever and would not be forgotten after her hundred years.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will keep it well."
The old lady was very satisfied, "You have to leave early tomorrow morning. I always get up late, so don't wake me up. You just go on your own."
Lin Yuxi knew that she didn't want to see them leave. It was very lively when they lived here these days. It could be seen that the old lady was very happy. It suddenly became deserted. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to adapt.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Don't be greedy. Your nephew's family will cook according to my recipe and be careful. Otherwise, if this injury is healed, you may get a new one."
The old lady nodded, "I understand, why are you so verbose at such a young age? Mr. Lang will dislike you."
"He hates me so he doesn't say anything? There are so many men in this world, it's a big deal to find a new one."
The old lady burst out laughing, but Lin Xixi smiled with tears in her eyes and went out carrying the tray.
They had a great time in the courtyard that night, and the old lady was also happy in the house. Since the death of her husband and son, the house has not been so lively.
Chen Zhongqian was teased to drink two glasses of wine. Although he was not drunk, he was still dizzy.
Lin Yuxi originally wanted to drink, but he thought that they got drunk during the Chinese New Year and ended up acting drunk together, so he stopped the idea. After a while, they both started to make trouble, which would make them embarrassed tomorrow.
Meet someone.
They didn't break up until late at night. They agreed on a departure time tomorrow and went back to rest.
Lin Xixi wiped Chen Zhongqian's hands and went to sleep himself. Chen Zhongqian drank wine and fell into a deep sleep. He held her hand tightly and said, "Joy."
She thought he had sobered up and was about to talk, but he started talking nonsense again. She couldn't understand what he was talking about, so she started asking him questions.
"What do you call joy?"
"Joy." He smiled and just called her name.
Lin Hexi held her chin, "Who are you? Who are you?"
"Madam, you are my madam."
Lin Joy smiled and reached out to poke his face, "Then do you want her?"
Chen Zhongqian fell into a deep sleep again, licked his lips, held her hand and stopped talking.
Lin Yuxi slept next to him and felt very at ease.
Hundreds of miles away in Yonghe Town, Du Chongwen finally received one after sending countless letters to his employer, saying, "Don't panic."
With just these few words, Du Chongwen turned over it over and over again, almost seeing the sparks coming from the piece of paper. He also touched the envelope inside and out, but there was nothing else.
He sat down on the chair and said, "Don't panic, don't panic about anything? How could you not panic at this time? Soon the Renjitang group came back. The plague in Chong County was successfully controlled. They made such great contributions.
How will Yuan Antang be able to fight in the future?"
Du Chongwen couldn't figure out what his boss was thinking. Was he planning to abandon Yuan Antang here?
He suddenly broke out in sweat. If he lost his identity as the shopkeeper of Yuan'antang, what would he, Du Chongwen, have left in Yonghe Town?
I originally wanted to cultivate an obedient and capable son-in-law, but I chose Liu Xun from left to right, but it turned out that he was useless. He has not been successful in the exams for several years, and he is still a child.
Just as he was getting angry, Liu Xun knocked on the door outside, "Father-in-law, I wonder if you have time to see my son-in-law."
"Come in." Du Chongwen said angrily.
Liu Xun regretted it as soon as he heard this tone. He shouldn't have come at this time. He was afraid that he would take out his anger on him again.
He entered cautiously, and Du Chongwen frowned, "What are you doing here?"
Liu Xun clenched his fists. Today is the day to get money. On this day of every month, Du Chongwen will give him a month's expenses. This has become a rule. If he doesn't tell, Du Chongwen won't ask.
Is this deliberately trying to embarrass him today?
Du Chongwen really didn't come back to his senses. These days, his mind was filled with the meritorious deeds of Renjitang. How could he think of his son-in-law's living expenses?
Seeing Liu Xun's embarrassed look, he came to his senses, took out a purse from the drawer, and pushed it in front of Liu Xun.
"Don't blame me, dear son-in-law. I really didn't think about it. I have been troubled by something recently."
Liu Xun felt a little better and asked again, "Why is my father-in-law worried about something? Why don't you tell me and let your son-in-law help you think of a solution."
Du Chongwen sighed, "I was defrauded of two thousand taels of silver. Fortunately, my boss did not blame me, but Renji Hall has made great achievements right away. From now on, how can Yuan Antang be Renji Hall's opponent?"
"
"My boss wants to run Yuan Antang well. If Yuan Antang declines from now on, I, as the shopkeeper, will probably be in trouble."
He looked at Liu Xun again and said, "I was originally interested in you. I thought that your young talent could be put to great use. Maybe you would be able to pass the imperial examination soon. As long as you have an official position, I won't have to be restrained by my boss. Who knows?"
Everything is so bad."
Liu Xun lowered his head again, "I disappoint my father-in-law."
"Hey, I can't say I'm disappointed. Just be nice to Xuejiao. You will definitely take the scientific examination next year, and you must show off your skills by then. I will also make an agreement with my boss to try to clear the places where you can move and have relationships, so that you can
The scientific examination went well."
Liu Xun didn't speak, and Du Chongwen said, "Please read the letter from my employer for me. The letter said there is no need to panic, and there will be no more. But now that Renji Hall has cured the plague in Chong County, where can I go?"
Aren’t you panicking?”
Liu Xun took it over and looked at it. It was indeed what the letter said. After thinking about it, he said, "My boss is running such a big business. He must have some considerations. He said there is no need to panic. He should have already made arrangements."
"Furthermore, even if Renjitang has made a meritorious service, don't be afraid. Didn't my father-in-law buy the Cold Poisonous Weed? If the court rewards him, it can be said that it is all the Cold Poisonous Weed's contribution. Who has the greatest contribution is still uncertain."
Du Chongwen was in a much better mood and said with a smile, "Okay, I am a scholar after all. Once you mentioned it, I suddenly became enlightened."
