Generational Marriage

The night is getting darker, the streets are less crowded, and Pingzhou City is gradually calming down. I don't know if it is because of the sudden addition of a vast ocean outside the city, the air is also a little more humid out of thin air, as if it is going to rain, tide, and deserted.

At the end of Qingyang Street, a not-so-large shop showed a distinctive clean appearance, and the red lanterns hanging high on the bamboo poles were also particularly eye-catching. Lin Shiquan and Lu Yanli talked quietly under the lamp. They had just sent away two brothers and a nephew from Ma Zhuangtou and Ma Zhuangtou. As Lu Yan showed full sincerity, Ma Zhuangtou also specially brought his helpers to them. The few people just talked together very happily. In the fragrance of wine and coriander, the great things of the next two years were given in harmony. Set it up, high-five for oath, no regrets.

Lin Shiquan let out a sigh of relief and smiled and asked Lu Yan: "What, don't you worry?"

Lu Yan chuckled, "Are there any scriptures you read badly?"

Lin Shiquan also laughed: "No matter how well you read the scriptures, someone must listen."

The two smiled and said goodbye to each other.

Lu Yan got on his horse and knocked his belly lightly. The horse snorted and started walking steadily on the road. Changshou followed him since he was a child, and knew him best. Seeing that he was in a good mood, he smiled and said, "Second Lord, what good things have you encountered today? Can you tell the young ones to listen to them and let them have fun? Harmony?"

Lu Yan looked forward and curled his lips: "Isn't it just the matter of Ma Zhuangtou? This is a big deal."

Longevity stared at him and just smiled. Lu Yan was a little embarrassed by the smile and lightly raised his horse whip for a long life, cursing: "It's so ugly to laugh. It's so ugly."

Longevity called injustice and said: "Second Lord is really true, is it possible that people are not allowed to laugh?"

A bright light flashed from the horizon, and the dull thunder sound blew up from far and near, and a thin layer of dust covered the face. Lu Yan raised his eyes and looked at it, but saw that there were no stars in the sky, and it was dark, and said hurriedly: "Go faster, I am afraid it will rain." The master and servant both whipped their horses, and they were ready for ten. At a few moments in Zhangyuan, the raindrops smashed down.

Young Master Changshou complained: "Whatever you say changes this day." The two didn't bring rain gear again. After thinking about Changshou, they took off their clothes and put them on Lu Yan.

Lu Yan poked him with the whip and said, "Don't take it off, it's ugly. Run!"

So both of them let go of the reins and allowed the horse to rush forward. The horse ran fast, but it couldn't run through the rain. By the time they rushed to the gate of Lufu, the two of them had become dead. The door came to open the door and saw this situation, I couldn't help being surprised: "Why did the second master get caught in the rain?"

Longevity sighed: "It will rain in the sky, and of course Erye will get rain if he doesn't bring rain gear."

That door was carefully selected by Fan Bao recently. He is a little older, and he is also an old family member. He is also familiar with longevity on weekdays. He scolded: "You lazy bastard, it hurts to go out without rain gear. Second master is in the rain, you still have something to say."

Changshou deliberately made him angry: "Uncle Ershuan knew it would rain, so he didn't remind him when he saw us going out."

Lu Yan didn’t care if the two of them took out a clean veil and wiped their heads and faces, and took the big green cloth umbrella handed over by the door, and whispered to longevity: "Take the horse down quickly and change your clothes. Please Manager Fan for half After the hour, I will go to the Xuege. I have something to ask him."

Longevity didn't dare to neglect, and went quickly. Lu Yan was holding an umbrella in one hand and a lantern in the other. He walked towards his small yard in the rain. From a distance, he saw that the gate that had been closed tightly in the past was not closed today. Mrs. Zhang held both hands and stood up. Peering around by the door, he coughed.

Mrs. Zhang heard the sound and saw that it was Lu Yan coming alone. She quickly ran forward and picked up the lantern in his hand and the umbrella in the other, and said in kind: "Second Lord, you are finally back? The second grandma asked. Several times. Let the servants wait for you here."

Lu Yan let out a faint "um" and silently entered the door, and Mrs. Zhang yelled inside, "Second Lord is back."

Lin Jinrong greeted Lu Yan at the door, and while listening to him talk about Ma Zhuangtou's affairs, he helped him take off his wet coat, and said, "I have hot water for you. Isn't the bubble going to the cold? "

Lu Yan said, "I have an appointment with Fan Bao, and I'm going to listen to Xuege's speech soon. Just wipe it." After that, he turned to the back of the screen.

Lin Jinrong went to fetch clean clothes and shoes and socks, and just hung them on the hanger, he heard Lu Yan say: "A Rong, you come and wipe my back."

Lin Jinrong pursed her lips and walked behind the screen. He turned his face right after entering, his face flushed by the light, "What are you doing?"

Lu Yan calmly turned the veil away: "It's all soaked."

Lin Jingrong lowered his eyes and pointed to the bathtub: "It's wet and wet, and the water is readily available. It's better to sit in and soak. You don't need to get cold like this."

Lu Yan glanced at her, stepped into the bathtub and sat down: "Since it's all wet, it's better to wash your hair by the way."

Lin Jinrong said, "Didn't you let Guan Guan wait for you?"

Lu Yan said, "There is still half an hour left. It's too late."

Lin Jinrong stopped talking, took the bath beans, and quickly washed him again. Lu Yan suddenly whispered in the water vapor! "Arong, you really don't want to go with me?...

"Huh?" Lin Jinrong grabbed a large piece of dry kerchief and wiped his hair: "Where to go?" Lu Yan said, "Let's go to Xuege together. You are reading in the back, and I will talk to Manager Fan in front, and then come back together. , How do you think?,...

What he wants to say to Fan Bao, she doesn't need to think about it. But thinking about him discussing with people in front to deal with people, but he hides behind listening to them, how can he be a little dark villain, and hesitated the feeling of his own man standing for himself. Lin Jinrong hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let Manager Fan know that it's not good."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "What's wrong? He is a credible person, and he is also extremely capable. If you can get in touch with him more, it will only benefit you." That's the old man, as long as the old man lives. In Japan, his position remained unmoving, and it was not something that Lu Jianzhong or Song and others could control. If he can be taken care of, Lin Jinrong will get twice the result with half the effort in the backyard.

But Lin Jinrong knew that such a capable and loyal servant was forced to smash his head in front of the spirit of Mrs. Lu only a hundred days after his death. Although he didn't die, but in the end he was forced to sue him and leave the country after only getting fifty taels of silver. The elders of the three dynasties are legends,

It is more of an emperor and a courtier.

Lu Yan put on his shoes neatly and tightened his belt: "Let's go.

Lychee hurriedly raised the big umbrella, longan held the lamp, and sent him to listen to the snow pavilion. Lu Yan walked unhurriedly, looking left and right: "Watching the rain at night is actually not bad."

Lin Jinrong said: "It's just a matter of mood to watch the scenery and rain."

Lu Ying was silent for a moment, and smiled lowly: "A Rong's words are right. So how do you feel when you look at this rain scene at this moment?"

Lin Jinrong said: "Yes." Lu Yan quietly shook her hand and stopped speaking.

After a while, when he arrived at Tingxue Pavilion, Fan Bao had already arrived. Seeing Lin Jinrong accompanied by him, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and then he smiled and bowed his greetings. Lu Yan said: "A Rong, you go and pour tea for the chief steward." Fan Bao's gift is a master and servant duty. Lin Jinrong pours tea for him personally, but it is very decent. Fan Bao pretended to decline, and saw that Lu Zhen was not a false sentiment, and Lin Jinrong was not perfunctory, so he accepted it.

Lin Jinrong waited for the two of them to sit still, and then quietly went back, but never looked for a book, but listened to them.

Lu Yan didn't mention the second room. He only said that Lin Jinrong had just taken over the treasury. He was very worried and didn't know the origin and preciousness of the things he was in charge of, so I would like to ask Fan Bao for advice.

Fan Bao really picked up the most important things. Lin Jinrong didn't mention them one by one. In a flash, Lu Yan mentioned Lady Meng: "I can speak well and look extremely capable, but it seems to be too flexible." Fan Bao At this point, how old you are, you know that Lu Yan is here to remove obstacles for Lin Jinrong and help Lin Jinrong stand firm. What's more, the old lady does not know the good thing that Ms. Meng did. Sooner or later, she has to do it. She said: "This person is indeed very capable, but I am afraid that she will not be disciplined by the mistress. If she can, she should be given another suitable The position is. But the person who takes over is also very important. If it fails, it will be chaotic.,...

In other words, Mrs. Meng couldn't move easily, so she had to find a solution to both. Seeing that he was speaking frankly, Lu Yan said: "It's not right away. I just want to know some things about her first so that I can deal with it."

Fan Bao said in a convenient way: "I see. When I've inquired, I asked someone to talk to his mistress." Lu Yan's goal was achieved, so he stopped keeping him, and personally sent him outside.

Fan Bao was holding an umbrella alone, slowly out of the Tingxue Pavilion, three turns and two turns, and then turned into the Juxian Pavilion. Grandpa Lu hadn't gone to bed yet, and was looking at the big accounts of the family's business under the light. When he saw him coming in, he didn't say much, but pointed to the teapot beside him.

Fan Bao hurriedly poured a thick cup of tea for him: "The first kid just came from Tingxue Pavilion. The second master and the second grandma asked the kid for a few words."

Grandpa Lu suddenly became interested and raised his eyebrows to look at him: "Oh? This is really rare. What are you asking?" Fan Bao told the story with a smile, and concluded: "Looking at them is pretty Okay, the mistress is also very kind."

Grandpa Lu thought for a moment, and said, "Just do what they say. Don't be too obvious." "Yes." Fan Bao was not surprised that he would react like this, since the grandpa planned to hand over the family business to Lu Yan. , This is the inevitable process. But there are many things that the old lady is not easy to do with his own hands, so they can only rely on Lu Yan and Lin Jinrong to do it by themselves. Some things can't be kept by others. You have to grab them yourself and learn how to protect them during the grabbing process. Shou.

The moment Fan Bao withdrew, he heard Grandpa Lu say very lowly, "I'm all grown up." There was a bit of relief in his voice, but a bit of sadness.
