When Ren Yaoqi returned to Ren Shijia's house, he was catching up with Ren Shijia and was about to take Liu to see Mrs. Lin San, which was the purpose of Liu's visit to Lin's house today.
Ren Shijia was a little hesitant before because he had grudges against the family's house, but now he was politely begged by Liu, and he couldn't save face to refuse, so he could only reluctantly agree.
This is not the time for Ren Yaoqi to express her opinion, so she just follows Ren Shijia properly.
The elders are orderly, and if you want to see Mrs. Lin San, you must first visit Mrs. Lin first.
Mrs. Lin has not been in good health recently and is recovering from her illness. The most lively courtyard was also deserted. However, I heard that Ren Shijia came with her mother-in-law's cousin, and Mrs. Lin also met with face.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Lin is also the aunt of Liu's mother-in-law, so she is also a relative. It's just because Mrs. Lin got married early, and Liu's mother-in-law is far less close than Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Lin because of her distant marriage. In recent years, the Lin family and the Fang family have not been very close.
Compared with the previous encounters, Mrs. Lin was in a bad mood, and her attitude towards Ren Shijia and Liu Shi was not as warm as usual, but she did not have a cold face to make people embarrassed. Overall, it was not bad. Moderate on.
After Kankan said a few words, Mrs. Lin lost her spirits, and Ren Shijia and Mrs. Liu didn't wait any longer. Before leaving, Liu's soft words cared for a few words, but the sighing words of Mrs. Lin before parting were somewhat intriguing.
"I just want to live longer, so that I can see the Lin family flourishing and the children and grandchildren unite and love each other. It's a pity, I can't help my son. They don't understand your painstaking efforts, and they always think that everything you do seems to be a threat. They. Hey! All of them are parents, why can't they figure out that the elders only think about them well?"
Liu Shi smiled softly, not being able to talk much, and it was hard to tell that he understood whether he understood or not. Ren Shijia glanced at the old lady, bit her lip and lowered her head without saying a word, making it impossible to see any expression.
Ren Shijia is not good at concealing her emotions, so when she is overwhelmed, she will lower her head and say nothing.
Mrs. Lin waved her hand and lay down to rest. Ren Shijia took Liu Shi to Mrs. Lin San's yard.
Mrs. Lin San explained that she would not see the guests, but the old woman in the yard saw that Ren Shijia brought people here or went back immediately to report, and then respectfully invited everyone in.
Mrs. Lin San was not really "sick in bed" like Mrs. Lin. She sat on the kang in the second room watching her granddaughter embroider, and occasionally gave a word or two, while the eldest daughter-in-law stood beside her and beat her legs. .
Mrs. Lin San wasn't as cheerful as Mrs. Lin's, but she was somewhat imaginative with Liu's temperament, with a gentle expression. Just looking at her daughter-in-law's expression in front of her with her brows down and pleasing to her eyes, she didn't dare to say more, but she could see that Mrs. Lin San was not as easy to be with her as she looked.
Seeing so many guests, Mrs. Lin San smiled and greeted everyone to sit down, and then asked her daughter-in-law to prepare refreshments in person, and also asked her daughter-in-law to call her grandson over to accompany Fang Shuzhou to visit the Lin family's garden.
Lin Baoling, who was sitting down and embroidering, was very happy to see Ren Yaoqi and the others. She put down her work and got off the kang in a hurry. She doesn't have rules, but she's not really harsh either.
Ren Yaoqi and Lin Baoling met several times during these days in the Lin family, but they only met a few times and did not have a deep friendship. The younger members of the Lin family, including Lin Baoling, like their sixth uncle Lin Kun very much. They are very close to each other when they see each other, but they don't have children to play in Lin Kun and Ren Shijia's yard. I don't know if the elders in the long room secretly asked something.
Mrs. Lin San joked with everyone in a leisurely manner, but did not mention the reason why Ren Shijia brought Liu Shi here, as if they were just here to have tea and chat with her.
Mrs. Liu was very patient when she arrived. She didn't mention Fang Yacun's affairs at all, and did her best to accompany Mrs. Lin San to laugh. She looks average, but her words are very funny, making Mrs. Lin San laugh several times.
By the end of the two bowls of tea, the content of everyone's speech was still calm. From the scale of the birthday banquet of the Li family in the west of the city to the newly married bride of the Gao family in the north of the city.
The children's side is also lively. Ren Yaoying and Lin Baoling can chat very well. Lin Baoling took out a few purses that she embroidered these days, and Ren Yaoying was amazed for a while.
"Sister Baoling, your embroidery skills are really good! Look at this 'every year there is more than enough', the two carps above are embroidered alive."
Lin Baolin covered her mouth and smiled, looking very happy. The little girl likes to smile while covering her mouth. This is her signature move.
Seeing her happy, Ren Yaoying asked her for acupuncture with great interest, and looked humbly asking for advice, making Lin Baolin laugh without stopping, and even forgot to cover her mouth. Only then did everyone see that she had two teeth that were not straight, and that the smile was too big. When her mouth was cracked, the teeth were easily exposed. It was no wonder that she liked to cover her mouth when she smiled.
"Sister Yaoying, just pick one if you like, I have embroidered several here. Last time when Brother Ceng was full moon, sisters Li, Chen, and Su all said they looked good when they came to meet them, and the wives also It's all right, I've changed all the patterns on it myself, it's the only one."
Over there, Mrs. Lin San glared at her: "You child, how can you be so boastful? There are no rules, let the sisters laugh at you."
Ren Yaoying hurriedly said: "How come, Baolin sister is really good at embroidering, unlike me, no matter how my aunt teaches, she is not good at embroidering."
Everyone likes to hear good things, and Mrs. Lin San's smile deepened when she saw that her granddaughter was being praised.
"Sister Yaoying, pick one, which one do you want?" Lin Baoling asked with a smile, thinking of how many sisters there are, she turned to ask Ren Yaoqi, "Sister Yaoyin, sister Yaoqi, you also pick one. ."
Seeing that Lin Baoling was in high spirits, several people smiled and picked one. Ren Yaoying also asked Lin Baoling with an embarrassed look: "This one is good-looking and 'Chang'e flies to the moon', which one do you think I would choose better?"
This made Lin Baolin cover his mouth and laugh again, and finally gave both of them to her.
Over there, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Lin San became more and more familiar with each other, and their words gradually revealed their intimate familiarity. Liu Shi took the opportunity to say: "Sister Yuan, I heard that you are also very good at appreciating calligraphy and painting. I bought a new pair of calligraphy and painting here. I don't know if it is authentic. I wonder if Sister Yuan can identify one or two for me?"
Mrs. Lin San was stunned for a moment. Although she was born in a scholarly family, she was good at appreciating calligraphy and painting, but she praised her. However, when she looked at Liu's face, she immediately realized that it was Liu's desire to talk to her privately. ground excuse.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Lin San responded with a smile: "How about going to the study then?"
Liu Shi hurriedly got up with a smile: "Thank you, Sister Yuan."
Ren Yaoqi sat aside while talking to Lin Baolin and the others. Seeing that Mrs. Lin San and Mrs. Liu got up and walked out, they glanced and smiled and then turned their eyes away.
Ren Yaoying also glanced at Liu's side, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help bending. When her eyes swept over Ren Yaoqi, she could not see anything wrong with her face, so she turned her head and joined Lin Baolin again. Talk and laugh every now and then.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Lin San didn't talk for a long time, but they came back after just a cup of tea.
The two of them couldn't see anything from their faces, and Liu Shi's expression was considered to be stretched.
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Liu took the initiative to bid farewell: "I will visit Sister Yuan again in a few days. This time, Sister Lao will be bothered."
Mrs. Lin San's answer was very cautious: "Don't say anything if you need to work or not, and I can't help you much."
Liu Shi smiled and said, "You have helped me a lot if you have the heart."
Lin Baolin was still a little reluctant to Ren Yaoying, pulled her sleeves and said, "Sister Yaoying, remember to come and play next time."
Liu Shi looked at Ren Yaoyin with a kind smile, and said to Lin Baolin, "It's rare that the two of you are destined."
After coming out of Mrs. Lin's yard, Ren Shijia invited Mrs. Liu to sit with her again, but Mrs. Liu declined.
Ren Shijia stopped after a few words, but asked, "Cousin-in-law this time?"
Naturally, she knew the real reason why Liu was looking for Mrs. Lin San.
Liu Shi lightly sighed, "It's not that easy, but Mrs. Lin San didn't say anything." But she didn't explain in detail.
Mrs. Liu impliedly promised a lot of benefits. Mrs. Lin San only promised to mention Fang Yacun in front of her uncle if she had a chance, and she didn't say anything. However, Mrs. Liu was quite satisfied with the result. She made preparations in every way, as long as Mrs. Lin San's uncle said a few words for her husband at the critical moment, it was just a small effort.
