Generational Marriage

This year is a very important year for Lin Jinrong, the Lin Family Sanfang, Tao Family, and Lin Shiquan.

In the spring, Dow bought a large area of ​​sloping land and planted saplings, and asked someone to take care of it. At the same time, Taos also bought a large number of sloping land and planted saplings. There are very few people in Pingzhou and Qingzhou who follow suit, very few people sneer, and most people take a wait-and-see attitude. People who follow the trend are Feng, and there is the figure of Mrs. Lu.

On the summer solstice, Lin Shiquan and Tao Jia, together with a merchant named Mei, sent a batch of winter wheat to the northern border. When it was, it was worth twenty thousand grains, which was falsely estimated to be a hundred thousand tea yin. With the tea yin, he went to the 13th mountain in Huainan. Tea, transported back to Taiming Mansion for sale. This time, it was not a secret, nor was it the smartest who predicted it first, but Lin Shiquan, who was keen to soak in the tea shop, restaurant and hotel, was well informed, and then with the passion of young people, he dared to speak and do, not afraid of hardship. , Able to endure hardship, and then Lin Jinrong stepped forward to coordinate sufficient funds to facilitate it.

Pingzhou’s three prominent families are flat, and the rest of the Lin family are guilty and courageous, they can only drool: Wu Jiagang was hit by Wu Xiang’s exam incident, and there is no person in the family, so they give up automatically: Lu family does not know why, but wait and see Attitude, never interfered.

In the autumn, under the name of Dow, the shop operated by Lin Shiquan added a grocery store. The Tie Erniu who had been following Lin Shiquan was promoted to be the manager of the grocery store because he was serious and responsible. Before everyone noticed, Tao Fengtang went to Jiangnan alone to open a shop.

Tao Shunqin sat in the rear, sending high-quality and cheap fragrance medicine, fur and other materials to the shops in Jiangnan continuously, and Tao Fengtang continuously sent the tea, silk and embroidery from Jiangnan to the shops of Lin Shiquan and Qingzhou Taojia. .

In the winter solstice, after a whole year, the dam where the Zhujiang River was placed began to take shape, and it is expected that the Tianhe water will be released to the fields in April of the following year.

The situation is very good.

When Lamei huā opened, Lin Jinrong looked at the account book in front of her with joy, contented with her achievements this year. Not to mention that the more and more money in her hand made her feel more steadfast and satisfied than ever, she said that she successfully slapped Tao Fengtang, and then said that Tao Shunqin went to Jiangnan to start the business, which is enough for people to sleep at night. The great success of dawn.

That is to say, in this season when the winter plum is fragrant, a rumor quickly blows through Pingzhou like a breeze. At the very beginning, someone said that the recent fortunes of the Lin Family Sanfang and Tao Family depended on Lin Shiquan, and they didn’t see that they were not worthy of giving him so much money: but immediately someone said, in fact, they all guessed. Wrong, Lin Shiquan is just the chief steward of the Lin family's third room, and the real people have been hiding behind the scenes.

There has never been a lack of rumors in this world, nor lack of curiosity, desperately trying to inquire into people's privacy, or purely without any purpose, just for the type of people who like to listen and like to talk. After the rumors spread, everyone suddenly realized that the person who had been hiding behind and making plans was not Mrs. Lin San Dow, who had always been short-tempered and innocent in his early years: it was not that although his wealth was always out in the early years, he was low-key and safe Tao Shunqin: It's not even Lin Shiquan, a poor young man who suddenly emerged from his hometown. It was the fourth girl from the Lin family.

As a result, the curious people gave birth to infinite interest and infinite conjectures for this powerful girl Lin Si who was raised in a deep boudoir. Numerous versions have been circulating in the market. I don't know that Miss Lin Si's boudoir name does not matter. The title Lin Si is enough to be chewed repeatedly. The rumors spread so quickly that Old Madam Lin, Lin Shiquan and others were caught off guard after they knew it.

When rumors came into Lin's house, Lin Jinrong was sitting calmly in front of the embroidery frame under the window, embroidering her dowry in the warm winter sun. The pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water on the red satin is lively and lively. She doesn't have any extra feelings, she just tries her best to complete a perfect embroidery. Because for a long time afterwards, she will face this brother every day and still rely on it to decorate the facade, in order to tell others how smart and virtuous she is.

Lychee looked at Lin Jinrong's quiet and gentle side face and dexterous movements, and swallowed after her words reached her lips. She couldn't bear to tell Lin Jinrong what happened outside. But anyone who is a good-looking lady who knows that she is being circulated so many speculations and conjectures will be ashamed and angry. Lychee is infinitely embarrassed. After replacing Lin Jinrong with three cups of hot tea and a pot of charcoal, she still couldn't say it, and she couldn't let someone do it for her. Mother Gui cried so long that her eyes were swollen. What can I expect after sewing?

But Lin Jinrong said, "Litchi, you tell me or someone else tells me, you choose.

"From the moment Litchi entered the door, she had already felt the evasive gaze of Litchi and the hesitation and hesitation. It would not be a good thing, she clearly understood this, but no matter how bad things are, it can be so bad that she is about to face it. Thing? No.

Of course, Lychee chose to let her tell Lin Jinrong: "I don't know who killed a thousand knives and talk nonsense outside..." Lychee was very careful, trying to pick up nice words to say, and even be prepared to stop talking at any time. He stepped forward to comfort Lin Jinrong, but Lin Jinrong kept holding a cup of tea, looking at the sunlight outside the window, and listening quietly, without even inserting a word in the middle, as if he was listening to someone else's story.

Lychee gritted his teeth and finished speaking, but he could only say a faint sentence: "What did the family say? Did you cry?"

How can you not cry? For people like them, sometimes a rumor is likely to destroy a marriage and life. Dow has no way, otherwise the tongue chewing people will have the heart of life. Lychee sighed: "The old lady called the wife. Girl, you have to think about it..."

"I can think about it, and my wife will think about Yi. Such rumors will stop after a while." Lin Jinrong was very calm. If it was in the past, she would definitely be unable to think about it, but now it is not necessarily. But it is the daughter of the scholarly family who can be in business, and she has been passed on her name several times, and it is not that she has done some shameful scandal.

First, she did not show her face, at most she gave Tao and Tao Shunqin and others several ideas that made everyone rich. Second, she was in charge of the accounts and stores, and everyone in the family knew that no one had said anything wrong. At this moment, it was turned out to make a fuss, but it was because she had not yet come out of the cabinet. There were many taboos. If she was a married woman, it would be a great thing to be good at managing a dowry.

What she has been able to do in recent years and what she needs to do has basically been done smoothly and smoothly. What is her dissatisfaction? If you gain something, you must lose something. If you want to be open, you must be content. But it’s really funny to talk about it. First, she carefully hid and tucked it. In fact, she took great risks to exchange for gold and silver, buy saline-alkali land, buy grain, and buy and sell fragrances. She, everyone spontaneously attributed the credit to Tao Shunqin: and for the past two years, when she steadily moved forward steadily step by step, she attracted people's attention. There are many things she can't figure out in this world.

"Girl, the old lady, please go and listen to Taoju right away." Cherry came in with infinite worry and said, her voice was almost inaudible: "The Lu family is here."

At this time, the Lu family sent someone to the door so quickly, and then the old man called Lin Jinrong to go there, without thinking about it, he could guess what it was for. Lychee's face turned white after "brushing" the ground, and trembling lips worriedly held Lin Jinrong's hand, trying to say two words of relief, but could not say a complete sentence: "Girl..." You... slave maid..."

"Don't be afraid, what is there to be afraid of?" Lin Jinrong's voice had a strange and gentle soothing effect: "Go get me the cloak and the shoes for going out."

Lychee and Cherry didn't understand why she was so calm, but it was obviously not the time to think about it at this time. Soon Lin Jinrong finished wearing it, and she even looked in the mirror before going out.

Along the way, the eyes of the girls and women they met were all flashing, sympathetic, indifferent, gloating, and all kinds of things. Lin Jinrong feels that in her life, she has never been so calm at this moment. She can even calmly analyze the expressions and eyes of everyone when they greet her, what kind of thoughts they represent, whether they like her, and why they don’t like her. Who is behind them?

At this moment, the road of Ting Taoju is too close for the lychee and cherry, but for Lin Jinrong, it is too far. She couldn't wait to walk to Tingtaoju in three steps and two steps to hear what the people from the Lu family rushed to say. If it weren't for her unwillingness to make people think she was panicked, for fear of losing this relationship, she would have liked to hurry away.

No matter how far you go, there will always be a time to come, and no matter how close you are, there will be distance.

Lin Jinrong finally saw the door of Tingtaoju.

In the yard of Tingtaoju, there was a thin and tall man wearing a white ramie shirt specially worn by the people, tied with a webbing. Hearing the sound, he slowly turned his head, and his dark eyes met Lin Jinrong's.

It turned out that it was him who came so quickly! It was really fast enough. I rushed back from Mr. Zhu's house, went home in a hurry to put on such a set of dazzling clothes, and then rushed here so quickly, why? Can't bear such rumors? Can't stand such a thing?

Lin Jinrong turned towards Lu Yan, indifferently and indifferently curled up the corners of her lips to show a smile, and then gently walked past him like a breeze, stepped on the Ruyi pile steadily, and stopped in front of Mrs. Lin's door, calmly Knocked the door calmly.
