"Master." Bai Shu who followed knocked on the door outside.
Lin Yu didn't even raise her head: "Come in." Bai Shu has never been someone who can't see the situation clearly, since she doesn't care about the interruption when she is discussing something inside, she should have something more important to report.
Bai Shu entered the room with a low eyebrow, and whispered something in Lin Yu's ear.
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "How did the news get out?" It was too fast.Seeing Uncle Zhang look over, he stopped Bai Shu who was about to say something, and ordered, "It's just right, they are all here, please tell me about the news you just received!"
Facing the two uncles and masters, Bai Shu was blessed, and then according to Lin Yu's instructions, she raised her voice slightly and said, "Miss Qin swore a heavy oath that she would not marry my uncle, and she twisted her hair and ran to the city. Go to the Fanxiang Temple outside the mysterious tomb to become a monk!"
Zhang Han twitched his lower lips and said, "She's so strong!"
Lin Yu snorted, "Now even if you want to marry, even a good girl is unwilling to marry you." Then he asked Bai Shu, "How many people know about this?"
Bai Shu lowered his head and replied, "Except for the Qin family, it hasn't spread yet." They knew that Huang Shi followed Lin Yu's instructions and paid a little attention to the movements there, only to find that the girl ran out by herself.
In order to prevent her from being abducted by those unscrupulous people, Huang Shi ordered someone to follow her, lest she run into those filthy nunneries.Who would have thought that this girl had quite an idea, she knew how to change into an inconspicuous dress, secretly make herself ugly, and ran to the Xuantou Fanxiang Temple.
The name of the Xuantou Fanxiang Temple is not very famous. Lin Yu knew that it was because the name was too strange. Later, the manpower left by the old concubine to him was originally an intellectual monk of Hanshan Temple, but now he has risen to the top The person who was there told him that there was a serious nunnery inside, and there was a master Jingyi who was very good at performing innate magic numbers.
This master is quite capable, but not many people know about it.But when it comes to her apprentice Lin Yu, it becomes clear in her heart.
Want to clean He Zengjie's wonderful jade.
I don't know how Miss Qin knew about Panxiang Temple, but Earth Branch saw where she was going, so he didn't have to bother to think of a way to send her to a serious nunnery without leaving a trace.Regardless of whether she is going to become a monk or not in the end, nothing will happen if she goes to Panxiang Temple.
But it was only a day since Lin Yu brought Zhang Han back to Gusu, what happened to the Qin family that the girl who had no voice made such a choice.
Logically speaking, since Zhang Han has been found back, according to the thinking of the people nowadays, since Miss Qin no longer has to hold on to the ranks to get married, it can be regarded as a consummation.Why, such a fuss happened all of a sudden?
"Did someone leak out what my uncle said in the old lady's courtyard?" It's no wonder that Lin Yu was so suspicious. If this was the Lin family, he was naturally confident that no one would say anything about the inner house.But this is the Zhang family, it is not impossible to be careless for a while.
Uncle Zhang heard this, and took two steps to ask the outside boy to go inside and tell the mistress Li about this: "Speak slowly, don't let the old lady hear the wind." After all, the old lady Zhang really likes it. A girl from the Qin family, even if her father is such a person, he is still willing to marry her.Now it seems that the old lady's vision is good and she can see it accurately.
"Okay, don't kneel on the ground, anyway, we won't be able to get married." Lin Yu picked up a stool and sat down, but lost the feeling of hating iron for being weak.
Zhang Han got up sullenly, turned his hands, and the rope fell off his body, and sat down in the chair next to him, silent.
Uncle Zhang came back after explaining to the servants outside, and saw that his younger brother who was raised as a son looked dull, and couldn't help but coldly snorted: "Don't you want to get married, why are you unhappy now that you are happy?"
Zhang Han lowered his head, and didn't know what it was like in his heart. For the first time, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Did he do something wrong?
After a while, Mrs. Li sent people back and forth to say that the mother-in-law who was gossiping outside had been found.
"The mother of Miss Qin loves her daughter dearly, and bought off the mother-in-law of the Zhang family just to hear her voice. Who knew that the uncle and master didn't want to get married when he came back, so the mother-in-law couldn't bear to listen to the half-laden words for the reward and ran away. Talking to the other side, I didn't expect Miss Qin to listen to it, and quietly twisted her hair, left a letter and ran away." At the same time, the news from Huangshi's side also spread, and Qin's mansion was sent. I found out what happened, "Now Miss Qin's father is so angry that he wants to sever the relationship between father and daughter, and the mother has fainted because she couldn't stop him."
After listening to the reply from outside, Lin Yu got up with a flick of his sleeves, and said, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. I'll talk to the old lady." He took two steps outside, leaving room for Uncle Zhang to clean up his younger brother.After thinking about it, he still stopped and said, "In theory, no nephew taught uncle a lesson, but this girl's life was ruined by your willfulness."
After going out, Lin Yu looked at the dark weather, sighed, and said to Bai Shu behind him, "I think it's really good for you not to marry."
Bai Shu caressed her womanly hair, and said, "Miss Qin and Nunu are still different. Nunu is lucky enough to meet you, it's fate."
After hearing this, Lin Yu sneered, "Fate? This is the thing I don't believe in."
When he came to the old lady's room, Lin Yu took her hand and told the story slowly.The old lady was silent for a long time, and Old Fang burst into tears and said: "I didn't teach Han'er well." She grabbed her nephew who had grown into a teenager and said, "That's a good girl, so I call it ruined."
Lin Yu patted her reassuringly, and motioned for Banxia next to her to come forward to wipe away tears with the old lady, and coaxed, "Don't be afraid, there is a grandson, and taking care of her will make her life worry-free."
After finally coaxing the old lady, Lin Yu tightened the cloak on her body, thinking, the old man is very old, and when he should be enjoying his old age, he still has to worry about his children and grandchildren.Even he was not much better, or rather, the old lady was most worried about him.Even if he got a solution this time, he didn't really relieve her anxiety.
"The old man is not blind!" Sighing, Lin Yu said to Bai Shu beside him, "Speak to Huang Shi and arrange for me to see Miss Qin."
Since the matter is irreversible, let's think about how to clean up the follow-up!
It's not difficult to meet Miss Qin. It seems that the master of Xuantou Panxiang Temple didn't give her a step-by-step monk, but only took her in temporarily.After the abbot of Hanshan Temple came forward, there was an elderly teacher who was willing to take Miss Qin to meet Lin Yu in the thatched pavilion outside Panxiang Temple.
It was also due to Lin Yu's young age.
However, Lin Yu did not expect that following the teacher's wife's robe, there would be a ten-year-old girl with long hair tied and pulled, but wearing a small Taoist robe.This non-monk and non-Taoist attire must be Miaoyu!He just glanced at it, and said with the teacher too: "Thank you for being too tolerant."
The teacher was not polite, turned away and said: "The benefactor speaks too much." He closed his eyes slightly as he spoke, not caring what they would say.
Lin Yu's gaze stayed on Miss Qin with a peaceful face, and said, "Gusu Lin Yu, I have met Miss Qin."
Miss Qin couldn't hide her surprise and looked at the handsome young master in front of her. After thinking for a while, she remembered who Lin Yu was: "It's not Jinke Jie Yuanlang. What's the matter with finding a young girl?" She heard her scholar father ask After one ear, Xie Yuanlang in Jinke is a fellow villager, but I don't know why he came to her.She didn't want to meet at first, but when she was about to refuse, Mrs. Jingyi persuaded her, and this meeting happened now.
"It turns out that Miss Qin doesn't know that Zhang Han is my brother-in-law." Lin Yu said bluntly, seeing the slight change in the girl's face in front of him, and then said, "I came down to make a promise for my grandmother, if you want, she is willing to take you Be a daughter-in-law, and if you find a good family in the future, the Zhang family is willing to marry you as your mother’s family.” At this time, a daughter-in-law is more solemn than later generations, and it is a serious relationship that can enter the ancestral hall of the mother’s family.It can be seen from Xue Baoqin's oral testimony of Jia's ancestor worship in the book "Dream of Red Mansions".
Miss Qin lowered her head and thought for a while, then she shook her head and said, "I thank the old lady for her kindness on behalf of the little girl, but who would have guessed that the so-called good family is another Zhang Han?" Zhang Han was also a teenager back then. A scholar, and a student of Xishan Academy, seeing a bright future, Zhang's family is also a well-known kind-hearted family in the local area.Which cousin didn't envy her when she was in the boudoir, but what's the situation now!
Lin Yu took a closer look at her face, but there was no resentment on her face, and he couldn't help sighing that Zhang Han was blind, and Fang Man said, "It's okay if the girl has made up her mind, but if there is one day in the Zhang family, it won't make the girl suffer."
Miss Qin nodded simply, she was not hypocritical.Even if you don't need it, it's good to subsidize it to make up for the temple.Life is too long, when possible, it is better to make more preparations.
Seeing that she was not twitchy, and he could stand his own mind, Lin Yu gave her a higher look and said, "If there is something wrong, the girl doesn't want to go to the Zhang family, it's the same with my Lin family. Just one thing, I think Ask the girl."
"Sir, please tell me."
"Is the girl really willing? It's obviously not your fault from the beginning to the end, but you have to pay the price with your whole life." Lin Yu's words can be said to be heartbreaking, but the few people present, Bai Shu He bowed his head and never looked up from the beginning.The teacher closed his eyes too slightly, as if he hadn't heard it.On the contrary, the eyes of the little girl behind the teacher were shining brightly, and she looked at Lin Yu burningly.
Miss Qin was silent for a while, then raised her head that had been lowered all the time, and said, "So what if you are not reconciled, my mother can't stand up, and my father can't be trusted. I want to stand up by myself, but there is no place for me to stand other than temples. Since you asked this, it can be seen that you understand in your heart, why bother to ask me again!"
Seeing her lose her composure, Lin Yu laughed instead, and said softly, "If you really want to stand up on your own, come to the Lin family! However, it doesn't matter if you don't come. Just like what the old lady said, as long as there is Zhang family One day, you will have a pure day, don't worry!"
After finishing speaking, he bowed to Mrs. Jingyi, who was still silent, and said, "Sorry for bothering you."
"Amitabha." Master Jing Yi took her little disciples to watch Lin Yu go, then Fang patted the head of the little girl beside her and said, "The fate of that family has changed, maybe you will have a chance. "
Back at the mansion, Bai Shu carefully put away the cloak that Lin Yu had taken off, and said, "Say, is Miss Qin coming back?"
"I don't know either." Lin Yu rested his chin and watched Xin Zongping clumsily perform arithmetic with a charcoal pencil. A few Arabic numerals were a little crooked, but they looked much better than at the beginning, and he said casually , "If I come, I will have one more teacher. It is understandable if I don't come. Xuantou Panxiang Temple is an orthodox temple, and there is nothing dirty about it. It is served by ordinary maids and women. In fact, it is not the same as before she left the pavilion. Too many, maybe more comfortable."
Bai Shu imagined it for a while, and found that he really couldn't think of what it would be like, so he said, "It sounds boring."
"It's not boring." Xin Zongping put down the charcoal pen, put away the calculation paper, and said, "But most people will choose the latter one. Busy life is a life, and leisure and happiness are also a life. That's why I say that the rich and the idle are rare." .Idle people are easy to have, rich and expensive but difficult, the combination of the four words makes it even more difficult.”
"Forget it, the family wealth will be ruined, and the power will also collapse." Lin Yu said with a smile, "Anyway, I dare not be such a rich and idle person."
"It's just hard work." Xin Zongping laughed.
That night, when Huangshi came to report, it was not only Miss Qin, but also Mrs. Jingyi who came together.
"This match looks unusual." Lin Yu laughed, and in exchange for Nanny Liu said, "I'll leave it to you. I'll go meet the teacher first."
There is no quiet room in the Lin residence, so Lin Yu met Mrs. Jingyi in the small flower hall.
"I don't know what the master has to teach." After Bai Shu served tea, Lin Yu asked straight to the point.
Simply, Mrs. Jingyi doesn't have the hobby of ordinary monks and Taoists pretending to be gods and ghosts, and saying a sentence in such a way that people can't understand. Too bad, I want to win a chance for her."
Lin Yu didn't know what to say for a while, what was so unusual and so lively, what did it have to do with him?He frowned and said, "I don't know what vitality the teacher is talking about?"
"Naturally, it's the benefactor." Then Mrs. Jingyi told the original fate of Lin Ruhai's family, and said that the fate of Lin Ruhai's family has changed now, and it is Lin Yu's credit.
"It turns out that it is said that Master Jingyi's Taiji performance of innate magic is targeted." Lin Yu said with a smile, and then said, "I just forgive Xiaosheng for being unreasonable." He said while serving tea to see off the guests.
That Mrs. Jingyi didn't care about being rejected, she seemed to have already figured it out, she just asked before leaving: "If one day, you can help me and save my female disciple from being robbed. "
"It's a little effort, why not do it."
After hearing Lin Yu's voice, the teacher left in peace.
Seeing that the master had left, Bai Shu laughed with Lin Yu, "Don't you always say that you are short of people?"
Lin Yu leaned on the couch and said, "That's not enough to accept everything. I can't afford to support such a big girl." Besides, they may not really want him to do something, he He promised that he would not stand idly by at that time, I am afraid that this is what the teacher originally thought in his heart.
Bai Shu recalled the clothes on the little girl he saw this afternoon, and said, "It's true, the craft of Xiaying gauze has been lost, and only those who came from the Tang wife's mansion took it out to make a cloak with you Looking at the hazy mist from a distance, she looks like a fairy. The lining of her Taoist robe is also the same, and ordinary people can't take it out."
Grandma Liu was just stepping in, and she smiled when she heard it: "Those who know say you are talking about that girl, but those who don't know think that you took the opportunity to praise your uncle for his good looks." Then she said to Lin Yu, "Miss Qin Having said that, I am willing to stay in the Lin family to earn my own living, and everything in the past is like vain."
"That's good." Lin Yu said, "It's nothing to be false, but her original identity can't be used anymore, so she has to change it."
With that said, it was Mammy Qian who came over, and Lin Yu was relieved to hand him over to her.With the new identity, someone from the outside contacted the official in the yamen to do it, but it was just an order.
It wasn't until this time that Lin Yu really felt what kind of strength the old concubine had left for him.It's not that it's powerful, but it's very suitable for Lin Yu.In Lin Yu's hands, this force reached its peak.
He dared to say that in the whole of Gusu, no one knew this ancient city better than him.
That way, some plans can go ahead.
"Since ancient times, it's true that women's money is easy to earn." Before leaving his hometown, Lin Yu went to see Uncle Zhang.After reading the account book of this season, he said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
The Zhang family originally had a rouge and gouache shop, but it was slightly inferior to the best local ones.Later, after Lin Yu came up with a soap that was more useful and cheaper than pancreas saponins, he cooperated with the Zhang family. He only took care of the production, and the Zhang family distributed them through their huge business channels.
But he doesn't need to worry about business matters, the Zhang family naturally knows what to do, and everything has its own rules.
It is worth noting that some people in Gusu City have already started to pay attention to this business. I am afraid that they will find Lin Yu sooner or later, and Lin Yu does not want to increase his popularity in this way for the time being.
"Let's build a guild." After hearing Uncle Zhang's worries, Lin Yu said, "Win in those who are capable and well-intentioned. A single merchant is easy to deal with, but the entire guild will have to weigh them, and they will only focus on fighting against each other. There should be no businessmen who want to make money. If there are, there must be other goals, so leave it to me to solve."
Uncle Zhang took the account book that Lin Yu had returned and put it aside, saying, "There is cloth for cloth, and rice for rice. This is a good idea, but the soap business alone can't support a business."
"Then add rouge and gouache, that's enough." Lin Yu stood up and said, "I'll ask someone to send the plan later."
Under such limited productivity, it is not easy or difficult to test out the most suitable cosmetics.In Lin Yu's space, there is a production method of cosmetics such as duck egg powder that has not yet appeared. With some slight changes, such as changing one of the lead powders into talcum powder, the powder produced is lighter and more fragrant than the original one.Although the cost of pharmaceutical-grade talcum powder is a bit higher, this kind of powder makeup is aimed at wealthy families, and they don't care about the little money.
The cost of other rouges and the like dropped a lot after Lin Yu circled a large mountain area to plant flowers.He originally meant to use the harvested petals to make perfume, but it would not be good to waste the color from the washing, so he specifically found out how to make rouge.The same thing can be used for two purposes, and the cost will come down.
Now Lin Yu has provided all the rouge for the Zhang family in Gusu, and the beauty of the goods has been heard even in the capital.It's just that the faces of the two companies specializing in rouge were not good-looking, and Lin Yu didn't intend to kill them all, not to mention that they were also somewhat involved with the imperial business.If he can pull the same boat this time, it will save his energy.
However, when he handed over the plan to Uncle Zhang, he stopped worrying about it.Uncle Zhang knows more about the worldly affairs in business than he does.He also told Lin Yu that when the time is right, he will find the right imperial merchant and get on the line of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is not known that the business will not only be in the capital, but will be able to eat the whole country.
After discussing with Uncle Zhang, Lin Yu didn't stay at Zhang's house for lunch.During this period of time, Uncle Zhang may have to care about business matters and discipline his restless younger brother, so he may not have the energy.
When I got home, I heard that the house next door invited me for lunch, and Lin Yu got used to it.I just walked to the next door without stopping, thought for a while, and took two bottles of perfume, no, according to the current name, it is floral water.
When Jia Min saw it, she couldn't put it down. Lin Yu taught her to use a drop or two to keep the fragrance for a long time, and then said: "If Auntie likes it, I have a lot more, and the fragrance is also different."
Jia Min handed the flower dew to Qing Lan for safekeeping, and asked, "How long can this be kept?"
"If it's not opened, it won't be a problem for a year." Once it's opened, it will naturally be used up as soon as possible, and the glass bottles that hold this flower dew are all small ones.Lin Yu specially asked the craftsmen in the village to make it, and now they are doing it more and more smoothly.
Jia Min smiled and said, "Your rouge pavilion is full of all your daughter's favorite things, but you didn't take this flower dew?" She was talking about the shop that Lin Yu and the Zhang family jointly opened to sell rouge and gouache. The name was also taken later.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's not the time yet." He laughed again, "When will I add a small silver building in the Rouge Pavilion to sell hairpins and pendants, then it will truly be full of all the treasures. My daughter's favorite!"
Jia Min smiled and tapped his forehead lightly: "I really don't know whose girl is blessed to be able to marry you. It's really a lifetime of enjoyment."
Lin Yu smiled without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jia Min knew it in her heart.In the past few days in Gusu, she really met a few wives and wives of all kinds, and Xinke Jieyuan, who spoke a few words and never left their home, understood the meaning very clearly.
It's just that Jia Min thought to himself that Lin Yu's future was far more than that, and he was still young, so there was no need to rush.It's just that she is just an aunt, not a real mother. Although she has gotten closer in the past two years, she is not a direct relative after all.Now that she knows Brother Yu's statement, she can easily refuse.
Really, what kind of things do you want? I miss their family Xie Yuanlang!
After setting a date to return to Yangzhou, Lin Yu sent someone to Lin Heng's house to talk about it.This time, there were two Juren in the clan, one of them was Xie Yuan, the new patriarch was really very face-saving, he hurriedly called to worship the ancestors, and wanted to set up a memorial archway, so Lin Heng also invited leave home.
There was a precedent in Xishan Academy. If you win the Juren, you can ask for leave and go back to your hometown. However, those who have a short distance and spare money will make this trip.Most of those who are far away from home will not take this trip. After all, Chunwei is only half a year away from Qiuwei. Students who want to give it a try, maybe they will pass the exam!In this case, there will not be enough time to return home.
After hearing this, Lin Heng was happy to go together. First, Zong Ping was also there, and the three of them happened to be companions;
This time, the group only stayed in Yangzhou for a while, and Jia Min naturally stayed.Lin Yu, Xin Zongping and Lin Heng will go directly to Jinling, and after turning over, they will go to the capital to prepare for Chunwei.
During the short stay in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai discussed with Lin Yu, and asked Jia Min to take Daiyu and Li Nu to Beijing after the Chinese New Year.For one thing, Lin Yu also has a support in the capital.Secondly, the Salt Administration has entered the last year of its term of office, and if there is still anything to do, it will only be a year or a half.Jia Min is a female family member, and Daiyu, a carp slave, is still young, so Lin Ruhai is very worried.
Lin Yu thought about it, yes.The guards around him followed him. Although a group of people were temporarily trained by the Lin family, they were not as useful as Lin Yu's people.Although I have survived safely for two years, I should not worry about it anymore, but I am not afraid of [-], just in case.
"Alright, let's go to Beijing together after the next year!" Lin Yu nodded.
After negotiating, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min hurriedly wrote to Rongguo Mansion in Beijing.
The township examination was held in August, and the results were released at the end of the month. Lin Yu and his party stayed in Gusu for more than a month. Now it has entered mid-October, and it seems that November is coming. It is too late to inform Rongguo Mansion some.
Those who traveled early were probably already on their way to Beijing, but Lin Yu and the others walked along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and starting from Yangzhou to the capital city would take a full month.This is the end of the New Year in Jinling, and then set off.
But it was said that the Rongguo Mansion received the news that Jia Min was coming to Beijing following the ceremony of Yangzhou. No one else said, Jia Mu and Jia Lian were really happy.Jia Lian got married at the end of last year, and married Wang Xifeng, which is considered happy.Now that I think about how my aunt took care of me when I was in Yangzhou, I am so busy that I have to arrange the residence by myself.
Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "What is Second Lord busy with? My aunt came to Beijing to live in her own house, so where would she live in the house?"
Jia Lian said disapprovingly: "What do you know? Although my aunt must live in her own house, there is no one living there for several years now. Before cleaning up, there is no one to live in. Besides, she is a serious aunt in the house. Clean up temporarily. There's nothing wrong with where you stand."
There is nothing wrong, it's just that the wife is unhappy, Wang Xifeng thought.This wife is Mrs. Wang, and also the aunt of Wang Xifeng's legitimate direct relative.One was from Jia Lian's side, and Wang Xifeng naturally favored the Wang family in her heart.
Sure enough, two days later, Jia's mother was very happy to see that the house was ready. She praised Jia Lian and rewarded many good things.Pulling his hand and asking for help to visit Lin's mansion, Jia Lian went there in a hurry, leaving early and returning late for several days, which made Wang Xifeng fall down in anger.
Finally, when Jia Lian was free for a while, Wang Xifeng folded her tenderness and asked, "Why is Second Master so busy here, and I don't see you working so hard in your own house."
Jia Lian recalled the days in Yangzhou, and said with a smile: "You have never met my aunt. My aunt's family is different from ours. She lived a delicate life, so she must take more care."
Wang Xifeng just didn't believe it, she was always proud of her own family, but now that she married into Jia's mansion not long ago, she just pointed to Rongguo mansion and said, "No matter how good it is, can it compare with this mansion?"
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Jia Lian said, "It's different from the ones in the house. You won't be convinced until you see it."
Wang Xifeng waved his hand to signal not to talk about it, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the old ancestor praised that brother Yu, you have seen it before, what kind of person is that?"
Speaking of him, Jia Lian laughed and said, "Dangtang Jinke Xie Yuanlang, what kind of person do you think he is? It's all about being outstanding in learning, but the rare thing is that he has all corners of character. I just can't describe his appearance. , You will know when you see him later."
"There is nothing bad in your mouth." Wang Xifeng asked him to joke, and said, "I don't believe that there are people who can be better than Baoyu."
Jia Lian was not unhappy either. There are many people who don't believe it. It's useless to say it. You don't know until you actually see it: "So you still don't believe it when you say you have shallow eyelids."
"I often live in the inner house, and the only ones I've seen are brothers from the same family. Even the relatives only play better when they are young, and they are taboo when they grow up. I don't need you guys to walk outside. I see them a lot. "Wang Xifeng said disapprovingly, "It's just a Jieyuan. People like us don't pay attention to it."
Then why did brother Xianzhu sharpen his head and take the imperial examination for his quota of supervisors!It's true that Jia Lian doesn't like reading, but he doesn't necessarily like others to give up what he deserves.It's just that there's no need to talk about it now, after all, the person has already left.He shook his head, and instead of arguing with Wang Xifeng, he pointed out something and walked away.
Lin Yu sent a lot of craftsmen over to lay hot water pipes and build bathrooms, etc. He was very busy. Although Jia Lian didn't need to do these things himself, he was a nephew who was a direct relative, so he needed to spend some time.
Furthermore, some things require a local source so as not to be fooled by outsiders.
After Jia Lian came back from Yangzhou, according to what Lin Yu said, he went around the market twice more, and he knew what the compradors and housekeepers in the house who were in charge of purchasing were.He really can't control the family, but he can't let the aunt's family suffer.
On this side, Mother Jia is counting the days and looking forward to Jia Min's coming to Beijing.On the other end, Lin Yu made an appointment with the students of Xishan College and set off together.
This time, there were not many students rushing for the exam at Xishan College. Lin Yu counted half of them, Xin Zongping one, Zhang Sheng one, that square-faced Zhao Huailu one, and the number of candidates who Lin Yu was not familiar with last time. , a total of more than a dozen.
Lin Yu simply chartered a boat and followed Jia Min's official boat.
At the beginning of the year, there was a letter from the court to reinstate the former member, so Jia Yucun entrusted Lin Ruhai with a letter of recommendation and sent it to Jia's residence.
This time, Jia Yucun also went with him, but it was not allowed to rent a small boat to attach to the official boat. The boat that Lin Yu chartered was big enough, and a few more people were more than enough.
Furthermore, he does not live on this ship, but follows Jia Min's official ship.During the day when they are invited over there, I go to chat or play games with the students, and at night when the boat stops and no longer moves forward, I go back to my room to sleep.
If there is a smooth wind from Yangzhou to the capital, it will only take half a month.If you catch up with the headwind, you can add a few more days, which is less than a month.Just [-] days on the ship was enough for Lin Yu to kill all the students on the ship with all kinds of chess until no one wanted to play chess with him anymore.
Lin Yu, who has been playing with her for more than ten years, is quite regretful, thinking, Daiyu is still smart, and if she teaches well now, she will be an opponent in the future.
Originally, when Lin Yu discovered Ganoderma lucidum's mental arithmetic ability, he also tried to teach the little girl Go, but he gave up after less than half a day.There's no way, the girl from Ganoderma lucidum is too upright in her mind, no matter how good her mental arithmetic ability is, it's useless, she just doesn't understand.
Seeing that Lin Yu moved the chessboard again, he played with himself the remnants of yesterday's score.Xin Zongping poked his head and took a look, he was really dazzled by the swaying black and white. He was a stinky chess basket, so he was let go.
"I asked the boatman outside, and he said that he will arrive in the capital in a day." As he spoke, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.There is a famous Qinhuai River in Jinling. When he slept in flowers and willows earlier, he used to go on a flower boat, but this is completely different from the twenty days of life on the water.If it weren't for Lin Yu taking care of him this time, it would have been even more difficult.
There is no one among the students who gets seasick, or else they will be weak, and I don't know if they can be raised before Chunwei.
"I'm going to follow Aunt Tang. The Lin Mansion has not been fully renovated. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to follow me if you want to live in Rongguo Mansion for a while." Lin Yu said while playing chess, "Xishan Academy has a Year-round rented yard..."
Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Yu looked at the smiling Xin Zongping and said, "I forgot that your father was in the capital as the Imperial Academy to offer wine. Are you going home to live?"
Speaking of this, Xin Zongping couldn't help sighing again. Unlike the relaxation just now, this time he was full of displeasure, and said, "Yes!" Looking at Lin Yu expectantly again, he said, "You can be a thousand Come and save me!"
Lin Yu was amused by his appearance, and replied straight away: "I am the master's closed disciple, and I should have visited him, don't worry!"
In this way, a day later, the ship finally docked.
Lin Yu didn't even raise her head: "Come in." Bai Shu has never been someone who can't see the situation clearly, since she doesn't care about the interruption when she is discussing something inside, she should have something more important to report.
Bai Shu entered the room with a low eyebrow, and whispered something in Lin Yu's ear.
Lin Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "How did the news get out?" It was too fast.Seeing Uncle Zhang look over, he stopped Bai Shu who was about to say something, and ordered, "It's just right, they are all here, please tell me about the news you just received!"
Facing the two uncles and masters, Bai Shu was blessed, and then according to Lin Yu's instructions, she raised her voice slightly and said, "Miss Qin swore a heavy oath that she would not marry my uncle, and she twisted her hair and ran to the city. Go to the Fanxiang Temple outside the mysterious tomb to become a monk!"
Zhang Han twitched his lower lips and said, "She's so strong!"
Lin Yu snorted, "Now even if you want to marry, even a good girl is unwilling to marry you." Then he asked Bai Shu, "How many people know about this?"
Bai Shu lowered his head and replied, "Except for the Qin family, it hasn't spread yet." They knew that Huang Shi followed Lin Yu's instructions and paid a little attention to the movements there, only to find that the girl ran out by herself.
In order to prevent her from being abducted by those unscrupulous people, Huang Shi ordered someone to follow her, lest she run into those filthy nunneries.Who would have thought that this girl had quite an idea, she knew how to change into an inconspicuous dress, secretly make herself ugly, and ran to the Xuantou Fanxiang Temple.
The name of the Xuantou Fanxiang Temple is not very famous. Lin Yu knew that it was because the name was too strange. Later, the manpower left by the old concubine to him was originally an intellectual monk of Hanshan Temple, but now he has risen to the top The person who was there told him that there was a serious nunnery inside, and there was a master Jingyi who was very good at performing innate magic numbers.
This master is quite capable, but not many people know about it.But when it comes to her apprentice Lin Yu, it becomes clear in her heart.
Want to clean He Zengjie's wonderful jade.
I don't know how Miss Qin knew about Panxiang Temple, but Earth Branch saw where she was going, so he didn't have to bother to think of a way to send her to a serious nunnery without leaving a trace.Regardless of whether she is going to become a monk or not in the end, nothing will happen if she goes to Panxiang Temple.
But it was only a day since Lin Yu brought Zhang Han back to Gusu, what happened to the Qin family that the girl who had no voice made such a choice.
Logically speaking, since Zhang Han has been found back, according to the thinking of the people nowadays, since Miss Qin no longer has to hold on to the ranks to get married, it can be regarded as a consummation.Why, such a fuss happened all of a sudden?
"Did someone leak out what my uncle said in the old lady's courtyard?" It's no wonder that Lin Yu was so suspicious. If this was the Lin family, he was naturally confident that no one would say anything about the inner house.But this is the Zhang family, it is not impossible to be careless for a while.
Uncle Zhang heard this, and took two steps to ask the outside boy to go inside and tell the mistress Li about this: "Speak slowly, don't let the old lady hear the wind." After all, the old lady Zhang really likes it. A girl from the Qin family, even if her father is such a person, he is still willing to marry her.Now it seems that the old lady's vision is good and she can see it accurately.
"Okay, don't kneel on the ground, anyway, we won't be able to get married." Lin Yu picked up a stool and sat down, but lost the feeling of hating iron for being weak.
Zhang Han got up sullenly, turned his hands, and the rope fell off his body, and sat down in the chair next to him, silent.
Uncle Zhang came back after explaining to the servants outside, and saw that his younger brother who was raised as a son looked dull, and couldn't help but coldly snorted: "Don't you want to get married, why are you unhappy now that you are happy?"
Zhang Han lowered his head, and didn't know what it was like in his heart. For the first time, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Did he do something wrong?
After a while, Mrs. Li sent people back and forth to say that the mother-in-law who was gossiping outside had been found.
"The mother of Miss Qin loves her daughter dearly, and bought off the mother-in-law of the Zhang family just to hear her voice. Who knew that the uncle and master didn't want to get married when he came back, so the mother-in-law couldn't bear to listen to the half-laden words for the reward and ran away. Talking to the other side, I didn't expect Miss Qin to listen to it, and quietly twisted her hair, left a letter and ran away." At the same time, the news from Huangshi's side also spread, and Qin's mansion was sent. I found out what happened, "Now Miss Qin's father is so angry that he wants to sever the relationship between father and daughter, and the mother has fainted because she couldn't stop him."
After listening to the reply from outside, Lin Yu got up with a flick of his sleeves, and said, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. I'll talk to the old lady." He took two steps outside, leaving room for Uncle Zhang to clean up his younger brother.After thinking about it, he still stopped and said, "In theory, no nephew taught uncle a lesson, but this girl's life was ruined by your willfulness."
After going out, Lin Yu looked at the dark weather, sighed, and said to Bai Shu behind him, "I think it's really good for you not to marry."
Bai Shu caressed her womanly hair, and said, "Miss Qin and Nunu are still different. Nunu is lucky enough to meet you, it's fate."
After hearing this, Lin Yu sneered, "Fate? This is the thing I don't believe in."
When he came to the old lady's room, Lin Yu took her hand and told the story slowly.The old lady was silent for a long time, and Old Fang burst into tears and said: "I didn't teach Han'er well." She grabbed her nephew who had grown into a teenager and said, "That's a good girl, so I call it ruined."
Lin Yu patted her reassuringly, and motioned for Banxia next to her to come forward to wipe away tears with the old lady, and coaxed, "Don't be afraid, there is a grandson, and taking care of her will make her life worry-free."
After finally coaxing the old lady, Lin Yu tightened the cloak on her body, thinking, the old man is very old, and when he should be enjoying his old age, he still has to worry about his children and grandchildren.Even he was not much better, or rather, the old lady was most worried about him.Even if he got a solution this time, he didn't really relieve her anxiety.
"The old man is not blind!" Sighing, Lin Yu said to Bai Shu beside him, "Speak to Huang Shi and arrange for me to see Miss Qin."
Since the matter is irreversible, let's think about how to clean up the follow-up!
It's not difficult to meet Miss Qin. It seems that the master of Xuantou Panxiang Temple didn't give her a step-by-step monk, but only took her in temporarily.After the abbot of Hanshan Temple came forward, there was an elderly teacher who was willing to take Miss Qin to meet Lin Yu in the thatched pavilion outside Panxiang Temple.
It was also due to Lin Yu's young age.
However, Lin Yu did not expect that following the teacher's wife's robe, there would be a ten-year-old girl with long hair tied and pulled, but wearing a small Taoist robe.This non-monk and non-Taoist attire must be Miaoyu!He just glanced at it, and said with the teacher too: "Thank you for being too tolerant."
The teacher was not polite, turned away and said: "The benefactor speaks too much." He closed his eyes slightly as he spoke, not caring what they would say.
Lin Yu's gaze stayed on Miss Qin with a peaceful face, and said, "Gusu Lin Yu, I have met Miss Qin."
Miss Qin couldn't hide her surprise and looked at the handsome young master in front of her. After thinking for a while, she remembered who Lin Yu was: "It's not Jinke Jie Yuanlang. What's the matter with finding a young girl?" She heard her scholar father ask After one ear, Xie Yuanlang in Jinke is a fellow villager, but I don't know why he came to her.She didn't want to meet at first, but when she was about to refuse, Mrs. Jingyi persuaded her, and this meeting happened now.
"It turns out that Miss Qin doesn't know that Zhang Han is my brother-in-law." Lin Yu said bluntly, seeing the slight change in the girl's face in front of him, and then said, "I came down to make a promise for my grandmother, if you want, she is willing to take you Be a daughter-in-law, and if you find a good family in the future, the Zhang family is willing to marry you as your mother’s family.” At this time, a daughter-in-law is more solemn than later generations, and it is a serious relationship that can enter the ancestral hall of the mother’s family.It can be seen from Xue Baoqin's oral testimony of Jia's ancestor worship in the book "Dream of Red Mansions".
Miss Qin lowered her head and thought for a while, then she shook her head and said, "I thank the old lady for her kindness on behalf of the little girl, but who would have guessed that the so-called good family is another Zhang Han?" Zhang Han was also a teenager back then. A scholar, and a student of Xishan Academy, seeing a bright future, Zhang's family is also a well-known kind-hearted family in the local area.Which cousin didn't envy her when she was in the boudoir, but what's the situation now!
Lin Yu took a closer look at her face, but there was no resentment on her face, and he couldn't help sighing that Zhang Han was blind, and Fang Man said, "It's okay if the girl has made up her mind, but if there is one day in the Zhang family, it won't make the girl suffer."
Miss Qin nodded simply, she was not hypocritical.Even if you don't need it, it's good to subsidize it to make up for the temple.Life is too long, when possible, it is better to make more preparations.
Seeing that she was not twitchy, and he could stand his own mind, Lin Yu gave her a higher look and said, "If there is something wrong, the girl doesn't want to go to the Zhang family, it's the same with my Lin family. Just one thing, I think Ask the girl."
"Sir, please tell me."
"Is the girl really willing? It's obviously not your fault from the beginning to the end, but you have to pay the price with your whole life." Lin Yu's words can be said to be heartbreaking, but the few people present, Bai Shu He bowed his head and never looked up from the beginning.The teacher closed his eyes too slightly, as if he hadn't heard it.On the contrary, the eyes of the little girl behind the teacher were shining brightly, and she looked at Lin Yu burningly.
Miss Qin was silent for a while, then raised her head that had been lowered all the time, and said, "So what if you are not reconciled, my mother can't stand up, and my father can't be trusted. I want to stand up by myself, but there is no place for me to stand other than temples. Since you asked this, it can be seen that you understand in your heart, why bother to ask me again!"
Seeing her lose her composure, Lin Yu laughed instead, and said softly, "If you really want to stand up on your own, come to the Lin family! However, it doesn't matter if you don't come. Just like what the old lady said, as long as there is Zhang family One day, you will have a pure day, don't worry!"
After finishing speaking, he bowed to Mrs. Jingyi, who was still silent, and said, "Sorry for bothering you."
"Amitabha." Master Jing Yi took her little disciples to watch Lin Yu go, then Fang patted the head of the little girl beside her and said, "The fate of that family has changed, maybe you will have a chance. "
Back at the mansion, Bai Shu carefully put away the cloak that Lin Yu had taken off, and said, "Say, is Miss Qin coming back?"
"I don't know either." Lin Yu rested his chin and watched Xin Zongping clumsily perform arithmetic with a charcoal pencil. A few Arabic numerals were a little crooked, but they looked much better than at the beginning, and he said casually , "If I come, I will have one more teacher. It is understandable if I don't come. Xuantou Panxiang Temple is an orthodox temple, and there is nothing dirty about it. It is served by ordinary maids and women. In fact, it is not the same as before she left the pavilion. Too many, maybe more comfortable."
Bai Shu imagined it for a while, and found that he really couldn't think of what it would be like, so he said, "It sounds boring."
"It's not boring." Xin Zongping put down the charcoal pen, put away the calculation paper, and said, "But most people will choose the latter one. Busy life is a life, and leisure and happiness are also a life. That's why I say that the rich and the idle are rare." .Idle people are easy to have, rich and expensive but difficult, the combination of the four words makes it even more difficult.”
"Forget it, the family wealth will be ruined, and the power will also collapse." Lin Yu said with a smile, "Anyway, I dare not be such a rich and idle person."
"It's just hard work." Xin Zongping laughed.
That night, when Huangshi came to report, it was not only Miss Qin, but also Mrs. Jingyi who came together.
"This match looks unusual." Lin Yu laughed, and in exchange for Nanny Liu said, "I'll leave it to you. I'll go meet the teacher first."
There is no quiet room in the Lin residence, so Lin Yu met Mrs. Jingyi in the small flower hall.
"I don't know what the master has to teach." After Bai Shu served tea, Lin Yu asked straight to the point.
Simply, Mrs. Jingyi doesn't have the hobby of ordinary monks and Taoists pretending to be gods and ghosts, and saying a sentence in such a way that people can't understand. Too bad, I want to win a chance for her."
Lin Yu didn't know what to say for a while, what was so unusual and so lively, what did it have to do with him?He frowned and said, "I don't know what vitality the teacher is talking about?"
"Naturally, it's the benefactor." Then Mrs. Jingyi told the original fate of Lin Ruhai's family, and said that the fate of Lin Ruhai's family has changed now, and it is Lin Yu's credit.
"It turns out that it is said that Master Jingyi's Taiji performance of innate magic is targeted." Lin Yu said with a smile, and then said, "I just forgive Xiaosheng for being unreasonable." He said while serving tea to see off the guests.
That Mrs. Jingyi didn't care about being rejected, she seemed to have already figured it out, she just asked before leaving: "If one day, you can help me and save my female disciple from being robbed. "
"It's a little effort, why not do it."
After hearing Lin Yu's voice, the teacher left in peace.
Seeing that the master had left, Bai Shu laughed with Lin Yu, "Don't you always say that you are short of people?"
Lin Yu leaned on the couch and said, "That's not enough to accept everything. I can't afford to support such a big girl." Besides, they may not really want him to do something, he He promised that he would not stand idly by at that time, I am afraid that this is what the teacher originally thought in his heart.
Bai Shu recalled the clothes on the little girl he saw this afternoon, and said, "It's true, the craft of Xiaying gauze has been lost, and only those who came from the Tang wife's mansion took it out to make a cloak with you Looking at the hazy mist from a distance, she looks like a fairy. The lining of her Taoist robe is also the same, and ordinary people can't take it out."
Grandma Liu was just stepping in, and she smiled when she heard it: "Those who know say you are talking about that girl, but those who don't know think that you took the opportunity to praise your uncle for his good looks." Then she said to Lin Yu, "Miss Qin Having said that, I am willing to stay in the Lin family to earn my own living, and everything in the past is like vain."
"That's good." Lin Yu said, "It's nothing to be false, but her original identity can't be used anymore, so she has to change it."
With that said, it was Mammy Qian who came over, and Lin Yu was relieved to hand him over to her.With the new identity, someone from the outside contacted the official in the yamen to do it, but it was just an order.
It wasn't until this time that Lin Yu really felt what kind of strength the old concubine had left for him.It's not that it's powerful, but it's very suitable for Lin Yu.In Lin Yu's hands, this force reached its peak.
He dared to say that in the whole of Gusu, no one knew this ancient city better than him.
That way, some plans can go ahead.
"Since ancient times, it's true that women's money is easy to earn." Before leaving his hometown, Lin Yu went to see Uncle Zhang.After reading the account book of this season, he said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
The Zhang family originally had a rouge and gouache shop, but it was slightly inferior to the best local ones.Later, after Lin Yu came up with a soap that was more useful and cheaper than pancreas saponins, he cooperated with the Zhang family. He only took care of the production, and the Zhang family distributed them through their huge business channels.
But he doesn't need to worry about business matters, the Zhang family naturally knows what to do, and everything has its own rules.
It is worth noting that some people in Gusu City have already started to pay attention to this business. I am afraid that they will find Lin Yu sooner or later, and Lin Yu does not want to increase his popularity in this way for the time being.
"Let's build a guild." After hearing Uncle Zhang's worries, Lin Yu said, "Win in those who are capable and well-intentioned. A single merchant is easy to deal with, but the entire guild will have to weigh them, and they will only focus on fighting against each other. There should be no businessmen who want to make money. If there are, there must be other goals, so leave it to me to solve."
Uncle Zhang took the account book that Lin Yu had returned and put it aside, saying, "There is cloth for cloth, and rice for rice. This is a good idea, but the soap business alone can't support a business."
"Then add rouge and gouache, that's enough." Lin Yu stood up and said, "I'll ask someone to send the plan later."
Under such limited productivity, it is not easy or difficult to test out the most suitable cosmetics.In Lin Yu's space, there is a production method of cosmetics such as duck egg powder that has not yet appeared. With some slight changes, such as changing one of the lead powders into talcum powder, the powder produced is lighter and more fragrant than the original one.Although the cost of pharmaceutical-grade talcum powder is a bit higher, this kind of powder makeup is aimed at wealthy families, and they don't care about the little money.
The cost of other rouges and the like dropped a lot after Lin Yu circled a large mountain area to plant flowers.He originally meant to use the harvested petals to make perfume, but it would not be good to waste the color from the washing, so he specifically found out how to make rouge.The same thing can be used for two purposes, and the cost will come down.
Now Lin Yu has provided all the rouge for the Zhang family in Gusu, and the beauty of the goods has been heard even in the capital.It's just that the faces of the two companies specializing in rouge were not good-looking, and Lin Yu didn't intend to kill them all, not to mention that they were also somewhat involved with the imperial business.If he can pull the same boat this time, it will save his energy.
However, when he handed over the plan to Uncle Zhang, he stopped worrying about it.Uncle Zhang knows more about the worldly affairs in business than he does.He also told Lin Yu that when the time is right, he will find the right imperial merchant and get on the line of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is not known that the business will not only be in the capital, but will be able to eat the whole country.
After discussing with Uncle Zhang, Lin Yu didn't stay at Zhang's house for lunch.During this period of time, Uncle Zhang may have to care about business matters and discipline his restless younger brother, so he may not have the energy.
When I got home, I heard that the house next door invited me for lunch, and Lin Yu got used to it.I just walked to the next door without stopping, thought for a while, and took two bottles of perfume, no, according to the current name, it is floral water.
When Jia Min saw it, she couldn't put it down. Lin Yu taught her to use a drop or two to keep the fragrance for a long time, and then said: "If Auntie likes it, I have a lot more, and the fragrance is also different."
Jia Min handed the flower dew to Qing Lan for safekeeping, and asked, "How long can this be kept?"
"If it's not opened, it won't be a problem for a year." Once it's opened, it will naturally be used up as soon as possible, and the glass bottles that hold this flower dew are all small ones.Lin Yu specially asked the craftsmen in the village to make it, and now they are doing it more and more smoothly.
Jia Min smiled and said, "Your rouge pavilion is full of all your daughter's favorite things, but you didn't take this flower dew?" She was talking about the shop that Lin Yu and the Zhang family jointly opened to sell rouge and gouache. The name was also taken later.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "It's not the time yet." He laughed again, "When will I add a small silver building in the Rouge Pavilion to sell hairpins and pendants, then it will truly be full of all the treasures. My daughter's favorite!"
Jia Min smiled and tapped his forehead lightly: "I really don't know whose girl is blessed to be able to marry you. It's really a lifetime of enjoyment."
Lin Yu smiled without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jia Min knew it in her heart.In the past few days in Gusu, she really met a few wives and wives of all kinds, and Xinke Jieyuan, who spoke a few words and never left their home, understood the meaning very clearly.
It's just that Jia Min thought to himself that Lin Yu's future was far more than that, and he was still young, so there was no need to rush.It's just that she is just an aunt, not a real mother. Although she has gotten closer in the past two years, she is not a direct relative after all.Now that she knows Brother Yu's statement, she can easily refuse.
Really, what kind of things do you want? I miss their family Xie Yuanlang!
After setting a date to return to Yangzhou, Lin Yu sent someone to Lin Heng's house to talk about it.This time, there were two Juren in the clan, one of them was Xie Yuan, the new patriarch was really very face-saving, he hurriedly called to worship the ancestors, and wanted to set up a memorial archway, so Lin Heng also invited leave home.
There was a precedent in Xishan Academy. If you win the Juren, you can ask for leave and go back to your hometown. However, those who have a short distance and spare money will make this trip.Most of those who are far away from home will not take this trip. After all, Chunwei is only half a year away from Qiuwei. Students who want to give it a try, maybe they will pass the exam!In this case, there will not be enough time to return home.
After hearing this, Lin Heng was happy to go together. First, Zong Ping was also there, and the three of them happened to be companions;
This time, the group only stayed in Yangzhou for a while, and Jia Min naturally stayed.Lin Yu, Xin Zongping and Lin Heng will go directly to Jinling, and after turning over, they will go to the capital to prepare for Chunwei.
During the short stay in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai discussed with Lin Yu, and asked Jia Min to take Daiyu and Li Nu to Beijing after the Chinese New Year.For one thing, Lin Yu also has a support in the capital.Secondly, the Salt Administration has entered the last year of its term of office, and if there is still anything to do, it will only be a year or a half.Jia Min is a female family member, and Daiyu, a carp slave, is still young, so Lin Ruhai is very worried.
Lin Yu thought about it, yes.The guards around him followed him. Although a group of people were temporarily trained by the Lin family, they were not as useful as Lin Yu's people.Although I have survived safely for two years, I should not worry about it anymore, but I am not afraid of [-], just in case.
"Alright, let's go to Beijing together after the next year!" Lin Yu nodded.
After negotiating, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min hurriedly wrote to Rongguo Mansion in Beijing.
The township examination was held in August, and the results were released at the end of the month. Lin Yu and his party stayed in Gusu for more than a month. Now it has entered mid-October, and it seems that November is coming. It is too late to inform Rongguo Mansion some.
Those who traveled early were probably already on their way to Beijing, but Lin Yu and the others walked along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and starting from Yangzhou to the capital city would take a full month.This is the end of the New Year in Jinling, and then set off.
But it was said that the Rongguo Mansion received the news that Jia Min was coming to Beijing following the ceremony of Yangzhou. No one else said, Jia Mu and Jia Lian were really happy.Jia Lian got married at the end of last year, and married Wang Xifeng, which is considered happy.Now that I think about how my aunt took care of me when I was in Yangzhou, I am so busy that I have to arrange the residence by myself.
Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "What is Second Lord busy with? My aunt came to Beijing to live in her own house, so where would she live in the house?"
Jia Lian said disapprovingly: "What do you know? Although my aunt must live in her own house, there is no one living there for several years now. Before cleaning up, there is no one to live in. Besides, she is a serious aunt in the house. Clean up temporarily. There's nothing wrong with where you stand."
There is nothing wrong, it's just that the wife is unhappy, Wang Xifeng thought.This wife is Mrs. Wang, and also the aunt of Wang Xifeng's legitimate direct relative.One was from Jia Lian's side, and Wang Xifeng naturally favored the Wang family in her heart.
Sure enough, two days later, Jia's mother was very happy to see that the house was ready. She praised Jia Lian and rewarded many good things.Pulling his hand and asking for help to visit Lin's mansion, Jia Lian went there in a hurry, leaving early and returning late for several days, which made Wang Xifeng fall down in anger.
Finally, when Jia Lian was free for a while, Wang Xifeng folded her tenderness and asked, "Why is Second Master so busy here, and I don't see you working so hard in your own house."
Jia Lian recalled the days in Yangzhou, and said with a smile: "You have never met my aunt. My aunt's family is different from ours. She lived a delicate life, so she must take more care."
Wang Xifeng just didn't believe it, she was always proud of her own family, but now that she married into Jia's mansion not long ago, she just pointed to Rongguo mansion and said, "No matter how good it is, can it compare with this mansion?"
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Jia Lian said, "It's different from the ones in the house. You won't be convinced until you see it."
Wang Xifeng waved his hand to signal not to talk about it, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the old ancestor praised that brother Yu, you have seen it before, what kind of person is that?"
Speaking of him, Jia Lian laughed and said, "Dangtang Jinke Xie Yuanlang, what kind of person do you think he is? It's all about being outstanding in learning, but the rare thing is that he has all corners of character. I just can't describe his appearance. , You will know when you see him later."
"There is nothing bad in your mouth." Wang Xifeng asked him to joke, and said, "I don't believe that there are people who can be better than Baoyu."
Jia Lian was not unhappy either. There are many people who don't believe it. It's useless to say it. You don't know until you actually see it: "So you still don't believe it when you say you have shallow eyelids."
"I often live in the inner house, and the only ones I've seen are brothers from the same family. Even the relatives only play better when they are young, and they are taboo when they grow up. I don't need you guys to walk outside. I see them a lot. "Wang Xifeng said disapprovingly, "It's just a Jieyuan. People like us don't pay attention to it."
Then why did brother Xianzhu sharpen his head and take the imperial examination for his quota of supervisors!It's true that Jia Lian doesn't like reading, but he doesn't necessarily like others to give up what he deserves.It's just that there's no need to talk about it now, after all, the person has already left.He shook his head, and instead of arguing with Wang Xifeng, he pointed out something and walked away.
Lin Yu sent a lot of craftsmen over to lay hot water pipes and build bathrooms, etc. He was very busy. Although Jia Lian didn't need to do these things himself, he was a nephew who was a direct relative, so he needed to spend some time.
Furthermore, some things require a local source so as not to be fooled by outsiders.
After Jia Lian came back from Yangzhou, according to what Lin Yu said, he went around the market twice more, and he knew what the compradors and housekeepers in the house who were in charge of purchasing were.He really can't control the family, but he can't let the aunt's family suffer.
On this side, Mother Jia is counting the days and looking forward to Jia Min's coming to Beijing.On the other end, Lin Yu made an appointment with the students of Xishan College and set off together.
This time, there were not many students rushing for the exam at Xishan College. Lin Yu counted half of them, Xin Zongping one, Zhang Sheng one, that square-faced Zhao Huailu one, and the number of candidates who Lin Yu was not familiar with last time. , a total of more than a dozen.
Lin Yu simply chartered a boat and followed Jia Min's official boat.
At the beginning of the year, there was a letter from the court to reinstate the former member, so Jia Yucun entrusted Lin Ruhai with a letter of recommendation and sent it to Jia's residence.
This time, Jia Yucun also went with him, but it was not allowed to rent a small boat to attach to the official boat. The boat that Lin Yu chartered was big enough, and a few more people were more than enough.
Furthermore, he does not live on this ship, but follows Jia Min's official ship.During the day when they are invited over there, I go to chat or play games with the students, and at night when the boat stops and no longer moves forward, I go back to my room to sleep.
If there is a smooth wind from Yangzhou to the capital, it will only take half a month.If you catch up with the headwind, you can add a few more days, which is less than a month.Just [-] days on the ship was enough for Lin Yu to kill all the students on the ship with all kinds of chess until no one wanted to play chess with him anymore.
Lin Yu, who has been playing with her for more than ten years, is quite regretful, thinking, Daiyu is still smart, and if she teaches well now, she will be an opponent in the future.
Originally, when Lin Yu discovered Ganoderma lucidum's mental arithmetic ability, he also tried to teach the little girl Go, but he gave up after less than half a day.There's no way, the girl from Ganoderma lucidum is too upright in her mind, no matter how good her mental arithmetic ability is, it's useless, she just doesn't understand.
Seeing that Lin Yu moved the chessboard again, he played with himself the remnants of yesterday's score.Xin Zongping poked his head and took a look, he was really dazzled by the swaying black and white. He was a stinky chess basket, so he was let go.
"I asked the boatman outside, and he said that he will arrive in the capital in a day." As he spoke, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.There is a famous Qinhuai River in Jinling. When he slept in flowers and willows earlier, he used to go on a flower boat, but this is completely different from the twenty days of life on the water.If it weren't for Lin Yu taking care of him this time, it would have been even more difficult.
There is no one among the students who gets seasick, or else they will be weak, and I don't know if they can be raised before Chunwei.
"I'm going to follow Aunt Tang. The Lin Mansion has not been fully renovated. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to follow me if you want to live in Rongguo Mansion for a while." Lin Yu said while playing chess, "Xishan Academy has a Year-round rented yard..."
Suddenly thinking of something, Lin Yu looked at the smiling Xin Zongping and said, "I forgot that your father was in the capital as the Imperial Academy to offer wine. Are you going home to live?"
Speaking of this, Xin Zongping couldn't help sighing again. Unlike the relaxation just now, this time he was full of displeasure, and said, "Yes!" Looking at Lin Yu expectantly again, he said, "You can be a thousand Come and save me!"
Lin Yu was amused by his appearance, and replied straight away: "I am the master's closed disciple, and I should have visited him, don't worry!"
In this way, a day later, the ship finally docked.
