Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 243 Design
Lin Shi was not at ease these few days. When she went to the shop to pick out rouge, her expression was in a daze. She couldn't hear what Ruan Yu was saying, and she took several things wrong.

"Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?" Ruan Yu asked with concern, and then smiled, "I just got some good tea here, if my wife wants to try it."

Lin sighed, "Alright, I'm very depressed."

Ruan Yu led her to the inner room of the shop, and Mrs. Zhou and two shop assistants were still looking after her outside. She personally heated water to make tea and served it to Mrs. Lin.

The weather was cold, and after drinking some tea, her body warmed up. Mrs. Lin looked at Ruan Yu who was opposite, "You really are a caring person, but it's a pity that my elder brother is like a piece of wood..."

She didn't want to talk about this topic at all, Ruan Yu smiled and said, "Madam looks thinner, but because of the marriage of the county chief, and his family is far away in the capital, so busy buying gifts for him?"

Mrs. Lin was told what was on her mind, and she was so angry that she immediately stopped the tea in her hand.

Isn't it?Li Yu agreed to the marriage, and the matchmaker invited her to make a kiss. After the old lady found out about this, she had no intention of objecting at all. Later, she said that she would help prepare the dowry, saying that the Li family was too far away, and Mrs. Li had to take care of the house. , It is impossible to come here, so I took full power.

For this, Li Yu was extremely grateful. Although he contributed capital, those who chose compradors should not be done by the Lin family?
Mrs. Lin snorted heavily, looked at Ruan Yu and said, "If it's the same as you, I have nothing to say." She paused, "Hey, I only told you as if I were from my own family. That daughter of the Du family, How can you be worthy of our Yuanqing!"

"I understand what my wife means, but there's nothing wrong with Second Miss Du. I've been in the county for almost half a year, and I haven't heard anyone gossiping about Second Miss Du."

That's the only way it's not good, and it's hard for people to find mistakes!

"Miss Du Er is very generous. She funded and opened the Yunxiang Brocade in our county."

Lin frowned when she heard this. It was the first time she had heard of this. Yunxiang Brocade was a brocade shop that came out recently, but the shopkeeper had a good eye and could always buy some fresh and beautiful fabrics. The business was also good. Been there a few times.The shopkeeper has seen it before, he looks handsome, although he is a businessman, he has a bit of elegance.

She wondered, "Why would you invest in him? Could it be that those two families are related?"

"I seem to have heard from people in the village that the shopkeeper used to raise rabbits for Miss Du Er at their house, but he stopped doing it for some reason." Ruan Yu's eyes flashed, "The two seem to be very good, the shopkeeper They eat at their house every day."

The shopkeeper is indeed quite young, he should be two or three years older than Du Xiaoyu... He actually eats at their house every day?Lin thought about it, why is the Du family so unavoidable?Besides, they are just raising rabbits for their family, so how is it different from a servant?He even invested in opening a shop for him.

It seems that it is not easy here!
She thought for a while and asked, "When was that shop opened? Do you remember?"

"It's not very clear, it seems to be in March and April."

Wasn't that when Li Yuanqing came here to be the county magistrate?The more Lin thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong. Ruan Yu saw it, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "The two are childhood sweethearts, and some feelings are normal. Miss Du Er is only willing to spend so much money because she treats him as a friend." Give him some money to open a shop."

Childhood sweetheart?emotion?A flash of inspiration flashed in Lin's mind, and he sneered, maybe it was adultery!

Then the Du family must have wanted to find a son-in-law who stepped in at the beginning, or would they keep him for dinner every day?Later, seeing Li Yuanqing came to be the county magistrate, he thought about going to a higher place, so he abandoned that person again, and was afraid that he would go out and talk nonsense, so he gave money to resolve the matter, it must be like this.

The two were together every day, maybe something happened, and only Li Yuanqing was kept in the dark!
Thinking of Du Xiaoyu's appearance, Lin's eyes narrowed. At such a young age, she is good at hooking up with people and fascinated her nephew like this. It's not that she won't marry, but let her show her true colors!
She hurriedly stood up and was about to go outside.
Ruan Yu called her to stop, "Ma'am, don't forget to take the rouge, it's all freshly blended by me, there is some fragrance in it, don't use it indiscriminately."

Lin looked at her suspiciously.

"But it will fade if it is melted in the rouge, but it's okay. If you put it in a sachet alone or eat it, it won't work. It will disturb people's mind." She pointed to a jade bottle in the cabinet, "You Look, this one is the most powerful, I can only put a fingernail on it every time."

After paying attention to the name, Lin nodded and left with the rouge she bought.

Du Xiaoyu went to Gao's house to talk about buying a cow. It happened that the cow in their family was pregnant with a calf. Hearing that she wanted it, Gao Tie's wife, Mrs. Sun, immediately agreed and kept her for dinner.

Their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gu, was also there, and she immediately entertained her with food, and said with a smile, "Then I thought of making apricot wine after hearing what you said. I didn't expect it to sell so well. Our family didn't know how to thank you." , you helped our family go to Nandong Village to talk about harvesting apricots."

Mrs. Gu has an oval face, slender eyes, and is very sophisticated in dealing with people, but Gao Tie and his wife have another personality, they are straightforward.

"It's just a matter of raising one's hand. What about apricot wine? I'm talking nonsense. It's because of your good craftsmanship that you can brew it. Don't others learn it too, and they can't make it taste like this." Du Xiaoyu laughed.

Mrs. Gu also laughed. Du Xiaoyu obviously took the credit but didn't take it seriously at all. She is really a straightforward person. No wonder her father-in-law and mother-in-law like her very much. I heard that she has been engaged to the Li family recently, and she will be the wife of the county magistrate in the future. But she didn't put on airs at all, and she liked it even more in her heart, praising her for being good again and again.

"Grandma, we can't take money from this calf." She said to Sun.

Sun smiled and said, "That's what I said too, but Xiaoyu refused."

"Yeah, if you don't charge money, it's as if I came here to ask for it. How can this work?" Du Xiaoyu hurriedly waved his hands, "Money still needs to be collected, and one thing is another thing."

Seeing her say that, those two people gave up.

"My uncle has already negotiated with me. I will pick the apricots when they are almost ripe in May next year. You have sent a car to collect them." They have already sent a letter to Zhao Daqing, talking about Xiaoyu's marriage, and they will ask again Regarding the situation over there, Zhao Daqing quickly wrote back.

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Sun looked at each other and smiled, Mrs. Sun said, "That's all right. We are worried about not having apricots. When the time comes to make wine, your restaurant must be the first to deliver it."

"Then I thank you in advance."

The three chatted and laughed for a while, but Du Xiaoyu didn't feel restrained, so he stayed at their house for dinner.

Mrs. Zhao saw her coming in from the outside, and said with a smile, "The Gao family is really polite, and even asked you to eat, can you talk about the cattle?"

"Okay, the calf will be out in a month or so."

Mrs. Zhao nodded, asked her to sit down, and said, "I discussed it with your father yesterday. Since you are going to marry Wen Yuan in the future, even though the Li family is in the capital, it is not easy for us to visit, but the Lin family...why? Said, we should also pay a visit to the old lady, shouldn't we? It will be good for you to marry in the future. "

Do you mean to get in touch?

"We have also collected a lot of things in the field. They are not valuable, but they are also from our hearts."

Du Xiaoyu sighed secretly after hearing this, this matter is definitely done, but most of it is Li Yuanqing's hard work, if you want to ask other people's sincerity, I am afraid that neither the Lin family nor the Li family will be willing, but what my mother said is also true , Sometimes to resolve conflicts, you must take a step forward.

She nodded, "Alright, I see that the old lady likes to eat things made of milk. Let's see if I can get some."

In the Lin Mansion compound, the old lady was listening to Guanshi Liu talking about the purchase of furniture, brocade and other things, as well as matters to be prepared in the future.

Steward Liu is the steward that the old lady has used for decades. Apart from the butler who sits in the main house, he is the most important one.

"What has Suyu been doing lately?" The old lady raised her eyes and asked after listening for a while. Suyu is Lin's, her youngest daughter, and eldest daughter Wanyu, both named after Yu.

Guanshi Liu hesitated for a moment before replying, "I went to the rouge shop a few days ago." Although Lin Suyu is the old lady's biological daughter, the old lady has always been worried about her, and these days she has asked people to follow her behind It was the first time to inquire about whereabouts. Guanshi Liu was very surprised, but he didn't dare to relax. He just told people to handle it carefully and don't let Mrs. Lin find out.

"What about after that?" The old lady asked again. It's not a big deal to go to the rouge shop. It's just to talk to Ruan Yu. It's normal for the girl to be considerate.

"I found someone to go to Beidong Village."

Sure enough, she still had that kind of thought. She didn't want Li Yuanqing to marry Du Xiaoyu. The old lady snorted. She was still a grandmother, and her daughter didn't care about this matter. She was just planning for the future of the Chen family!
Guanshi Liu looked up at the old lady, and his voice became softer, "I went to buy some more incense."

"Fragrant?" The old lady raised her eyebrows, "What kind of fragrance?"

Liu Guanshi said, "It's not a good fragrance to be charming to the mind." He was also surprised when he heard the report from the servants at that time, and he didn't know why his aunt thought of a way to buy these things.

The old lady lowered her face, "She's getting more and more courageous!"

"What does the old lady mean?" Manager Liu asked. It sounded like my aunt was going to do something dangerous, and she didn't know whether to stop it.

"You let people follow, don't startle the snake."

These words were so profound and unpredictable, Liu Guanshi couldn't help but be puzzled, startling the snake with the grass, if the grass is the words of my aunt, who is the snake?But he didn't dare to ask in detail, so he nodded in response.

"If something happens, you have to protect her when she comes back, and don't let anyone catch her." The old lady added another sentence.

Still caring about my aunt, Liu Guanshi hurriedly nodded.

The old lady told him to go out, and watched the door slowly close, she narrowed her eyes slightly, maybe it's time to see her character...

Thank you sister May for the reward~~
