Longan was doing things in a good manner, and in a moment he walked in happily holding the money box, and said with a smile: "Girl, I've finished it. The gold is 24 taels and the silver is 65 taels."

Very little, I am really poor, too. I am not old, and all the expenses at home are from the public, and even private jewelry are not much, let alone gold and silver? Besides, every bucket of rice is only 30 cents, so it is good to have this little inventory. Even though I think so, Lin Jinrong was still depressed, and silently locked the money box with his eyes down, and handed it to Longan listlessly: "Take it back and put it."

When Lizhi and Longan saw her high mood suddenly lowered, they looked at each other for no reason, but did not dare to ask why.

But I saw the little girl Dou'er, who was in charge of cleaning in the yard, rushed over and stood under the curtain and said, "Miss Four, the old man has sent someone to come. Please go to Tingtaoju immediately."

"Where is the person? Who is here?" Lizhi and Longan changed their faces at the same time. The old man had never asked any granddaughter to go to his Tingtaoju. He just saluted and greeted him respectfully on weekdays. He also half-drooped his eyelids and hummed "hmm" from his nose, which was so cold and majestic.

He suddenly called Lin Jinrong to go at this time, probably because it was related to today's grasshopper incident! I don't know what the old man's attitude is? If he also listened and believed it, he would punish Lin Jinrong, then Lin Jinrong had no chance of turning around. How can the third room be good in the future?

Their emotions were quickly passed to Dou'er. Dou'er looked left and right, and said uneasy: "It's Maizi, he only sent a letter at the door and left."

Lizhi was disappointed, but she couldn't find out what she wanted to find out. Maizi was a servant who had to use by the old man, but she was only seven or eight years old. Because of her cleverness and diligence, she usually only spread messages for the old man Tingtaoju. Although she could still run into the second gate, she didn't dare to come in casually when she got outside the girls' yard.

This was expected. Since Lin Shenzhi entered the building, she had been waiting for the old man to summon him. Lin Jinrong cheered up: "Carry your shoes and then tie the pair of green jade skirts sent by the second wife in the morning to me. Who are you going with me?"

Longyuan went to turn over the green jade skirt in silence, and her heart was filled with shadow. If the girl was punished this time, the first unlucky one would be the girls who were serving her close to each other. The old man was so fierce. He had ordered a girl next to the eldest master to deal with him a few years ago. The girl wailed and went there in the middle of the night... Longyuan silenced and his movements slowed down.

Lizhi squatted down and put on shoes for Lin Jinrong, and whispered: "Girl, I will go with you."

Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "Okay." She didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing today, but one day, she would do her best to repay the litchi. The so-called loyal servant and righteous master cannot be obtained for nothing, nor can it be achieved in just one thing or two sentences.

At this time, Longan took out the green jade skirt, and then took a silver-white brocade waist seal to match Lin Jinrong, and said pretending: "Girl, let's go together."

Lin Jinrong said kindly: "No need, there must be someone in this room to prevent Dou'er from being able to explain it clearly when someone from the old lady or the wife comes to look for me." Why bother? The human heart cannot compare to gold and silver, that is, the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, which is the most difficult thing in the world. She doesn't force longan, let's forget it.

Longyuan felt a little embarrassed, blushed and lowered her head, and whispered: "I must be optimistic about the house."

Lin Jinrong nodded and went out.

Seeing her and Lizhi walking away, Longyuan said "ah" and ran to the door a few steps. After the girl locked the cash box just now, she forgot to hand over the keys to herself for storage! But she didn't dare to ask her to chase Lin Jinrong at this time. Longyuan stood in a tangled manner for a long time before entering the house with her handkerchief.

Old Master Lin hated others especially, so Lin Jinrong walked a little anxiously. She walked around several houses and passed through two or three small bridges of wood or stone. She slowed down and calmed down while walking.

When she arrived outside Tingtaoju, who was planted with pine trees, she stood still and walked up from lychee to greet the servant who was guarding the door of Tingtaoju: "The fourth girl is here to wait for the old master's teachings."

The servant didn't dare to look at Lin Jinrong, and sang a promise with his eyes hanging down. He went back and said, "The old man has a guest in his room. Please wait in the side room."

Lin Jinrong lowered her eyes, led her to the side room by the servant. The moment she entered the door, she heard Mr. Lin laughing: "So, this year is really a good weather and a great harvest! God bless me to pay attention!"

Another strange male voice laughed and said, "Yes, God bless me, God bless me! The acres of land in the uncle and nephew's house..."

She called Mr. Lin so tremblingly for her uncle. Who is the person who is so pleased with me? She also knows the uncles and brothers in the family. Mr. Lin can help him as long as he can, and he will definitely not beg you so much. Lin Jinrong was curious, but she was unable to pause, so she could only walk straight inside. The servant squeaked and closed the door of the side room tightly. She sat for nearly an hour.

No one brought water and tea, nor did he ask, but he heard footsteps coming and going from the door, but he didn't stop at the door. It seemed that everyone forgot that their master and servant were still waiting for the old master to summon him. Seeing that the originally golden window paper gradually dimmed, a loud sound of broken porcelain came from the next door, and the lychee couldn't stand: "Girl, go and ask?"

"If it's convenient, I'll ask who the old man was just asking?" Lin Jinrong sat upright on the six-sided consecrated round pedestal with his waist and back straight. Old Master Lin was deliberately leaving her alone. If she had a personality, she would have been unable to bear it, but she had long been used to loneliness and seclusion in her past and present lives.

Lizhi didn't ask much, and opened the door silently and went out. Shaoqing came back with a bit of worry on his face: "The first guest has already gone. The third master is inside now. It's not good to listen to the sound."

Lin Jinrong raised his lips and the uneasiness in his heart disappeared. In her previous life, she was not close to the old man, and she knew some of the old man's character. It must be that the old man's third master was scolded again. The old man should first scold the older man and then scold her, the young man. When it was her turn, the old man's anger was almost gone. And what should I do next, she had calculated carefully. Seeing that Lizhi was worried, she simply diverted Lizhi's attention: "Tell me about the guest just now, why can't I hear that it was an elder in the clan?"

Lizhi didn't forget to inquire about this and whispered: "That was a master from my family who came to visit her family two years ago. Everyone called him Lin Chang. It seemed that when he was in the previous two generations, an old man went to study in the south and stayed there to buy a family business. He offended people there a few years ago, but he couldn't live there before he came back to join the family. The master came forward to help buy land and build a house. Now, the autumn harvest is coming, and he has to pay taxes, but his family has no fame and many people eat, so he wants to put the land and property in our name... Taking advantage of the old lady's birthday, she comes to give gifts and take the opportunity to speak."

Lin Jinrong knew this kind of thing, which was called "spoken tenant". When she was still in the Lu family, someone had asked for protection from the Lu family. In order to evade taxes, some small and medium-sized landlord families entrusted them as tenants of official households like the Lin family in order to avoid taxes. According to the character of Mr. Lin, although he was full of family and country, he would definitely help this person evade taxes and make a name for himself in the family. Wait, autumn harvest, taxes... Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered a very distant thing. After thinking about it silently, her eyes suddenly lit up. If she could succeed, then her private money would not be the only one of the pitiful little next year.

The master and servant waited quietly for a long time again. The sky turned completely dark. The lanterns under the corridor also rose. The footsteps passed by several more times. Fang heard Fuquan whisper at the door: "The old man asked the fourth girl to come over."

Lizhi let out a long breath, Lin Jinrong stood up, carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt, and then clenched her hair and temples. She walked out steadily. As soon as Lizhi followed her a few steps, Fuquan reached out and stopped her: "The old man only invited the fourth girl."

Lin Jinrong turned around, but saw Lizhi's face pale under the big red lantern, and his eyes were full of panic. Lin Jinrong shook his head gently at her and said calmly: "Even if that's the case, Lizhi, just wait for me outside." Then he stepped into Old Master Lin's study steadily and continued to bless him without raising his head: "Granddaughter pays me a blessing to my grandfather, grandfather is blessed."

After a long time, Fang heard the slightly tired voice of Mr. Lin: "Get up."

"Yes." Lin Jinrong stood still, raised his eyes and looked forward.

Old Master Lin sat behind the long and wide red sandalwood desk, and was hiding in the shadow of the lamp, with his waist straightened up, and his old but not dazed eyes looked at Lin Jinrong lightly, his voice was flat, cold and majestic: "You took the matter today?"

Why do people in this world know the truth and always like to play this kind of guessing and fooling around? Since she dares to do it, she dares to take it. Lin Jinrong raised the corners of her lips at him with some amusement: "I wonder which grandfather asked?"

Old Master Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was arrogant without anger: "What are the things you have?"

Lin Jinrong's voice was calm and crisp: "There are three. The first is that the fifth brother led Wu and Lu family cousins ​​to see the Lingbi stone that grandfather loved the most. The base of the Lingbi stone was unstable and fell into the lake. The fifth brother was afraid of being punished and wanted to jump into the water. It was the stone I stopped and asked my mother to send someone to hang it. The second is that Lu Wu Ge sent a seventh brother a cucumber, which caused the sixth sister, seventh sister, and seventh brother to have a dispute. It was me scolding the sixth sister and seventh sister, and threatening them to apologize to the seventh brother, which made the seventh sister lose their temper and lose face. The third is that the sixth sister and seventh sister went to the grandmother to cry. It was because I was afraid of implicating my mother and younger brother, and instigated the seventh brother to take the longevity peach to find my grandfather's protection."

He could bow his head, but he could never collapse his waist. Lin Jinrong knelt upright on the blue bricks and stone floor, straightened his waist and back, and put his forehead against the cold blue bricks. His voice was quite hard as Dow's metal: "Grandfather wants to punish his granddaughter, and his granddaughter will admit it. Please punish him."
