Chapter 307

Until the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Many years later, Lin Anxin still clearly remembers that day. From dawn on that day, the old man's face had been gloomy. The wind was so cold that people's bones hurt. The sky seemed to fall down.

The women who helped to make ginger candy for the Su family wrapped their heads with coarse cloth and wrapped their necks. They tried their best to shrink the brain melon seeds into the coarse cloth. It seemed that only in this way could the remaining temperature in the body be preserved.

The village road is quiet. Except for the cold wind blowing the land over and over again, there is no pedestrian on the road. In the past, the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping and children shouting no longer exists. They all stay at home and do not want to go out.

Lin Anxin tightened his Wisteria rabbit skin Lake silk Cape, stamped his small feet, thick and soft cotton shoes. In such cold weather, he seemed so powerless. Only by constantly stamping his feet can he bring a trace of warmth to his small feet.

"It's Wanping housekeeper's turn this month. I can finally sleep in comfortably."

Ai Qing handed her the prepared chrysanthemum hollowed out stove and said with a smile, "girls are just like sleepless. Some day I have to call girls to get up."

Lin Anxin is good at everything, but she is angry when she gets up. Before she gets enough sleep, who will call her and be sure to be thrown into the pillow.

"By the way, has aunt had breakfast?"

"Have already eaten, the madam still tells Yu Ying, let her leave breakfast for the girl in the pot, the maidservant goes to carry now."

Lin Anxin signals Ai Qing to go to work. She gets up and takes out a bunch of copper keys from her arms. She goes back to her room and takes out a money box from the cage at the foot of the bed. She opens the money box and takes out ten Liang silver from it. After thinking about it, she takes another Yuan Bao.

"Girl, what are you going to do?" After listening to the spring to make her hot tea, no one could see her figure, so I found her.

Lin Anxin replied casually, "I'm looking forward to the new year. Although I made a robe for my father, mother and brothers, my sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law, my cousins, Yingxi, Xiaoyuer and my second sister-in-law's children need to prepare something."

She used to be generous and tight, silver came quickly, and she was willing to spend money on her nephews.

"Listen to spring, help me remember. I'm afraid I'll forget when I'm busy. My second sister's family has a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter Cuihua is four years old, and the child Tieniu is two and a half years old. I gave him a set of silver five blessings during the Dragon Boat Festival, but I can't give them any more. Cuihua never gave her a set of silver five blessings. I guess I should have pierced her ears. I'm going to add a set of light silver head for her. The girl's family still needs to wear gold It's better to wear silver. My second sister and sister-in-law should also prepare a set of silver headdress. Yuzhu and my sister-in-law just pull a few pieces of common cloth. If you give them too good material, it will become a burden. "

Listen to Quan write down one by one, Lin Anxin put two ten Liang Yuan Bao into her hand: "this is snow white silver spindle, Chen's side take official silver account, you go back to a set of town silver shop, give me these two Yuan Bao play a good head, then play three or five Silver hairpin, silver hairpin, the rest of the play some light accessories."

"Girl, do you want to have a silver lock? I think it's more valuable to have a silver lock for the eldest girl in the second aunt's family."

Lin Anxin stretched out his hand to scratch his head and said, "that's OK. I'll prepare another silver hairpin for my mother."

"You'll go to the town in a moment. I'm afraid it will be delayed for a few days. Because of the good business, the delivery of the silver shop will be delayed until the end of the new year."

Listen to spring busy should this matter.

From time to time, Aiqing came back with breakfast and told Lin Anxin that Zhang Yulan took Xuan Ge'er back to her mother's home to play.

Su Wanping is showing in the main hall of the main courtyard.

That is to say, there are not too many trivial things for a small family. Su Wanping can deal with it alone.

Lin Anxin after eating breakfast, it's time to go to the old hospital to do ginger sugar.

She just came out of the Chuihua gate and was about to go to the East and south to see the ladies making ginger candy. She heard someone knocking at the door.

Lin can't help but pause. Seeing that the porter opened the door, he saw that Liu Sanniang was coming. He was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Niang, why are you here?"

He asked for help to take down the bamboo basket that Liu Sanniang was carrying.

"It was sunny a few days ago. I baked some radishes to make chili radishes. Thinking about the number of people working in your mother-in-law's family, I carried some of them and sent them to you. They can also serve some dishes."

Because the Su family has built a new courtyard this year, the original vegetable field has been changed into a grain drying field. Although some new vegetable fields have been opened, many vegetables have not been planted because the season is a little late.

"Aiqing, please call my wife to help me carry it to the kitchen. Mother, I'm going to see my wife do things over there. Please accompany me to have a look."

Lin Anxin noticed that Liu Sanniang was forced to smile, so he took her to the place where ginger sugar was boiled for a while.

Then he took her back to his courtyard and sat down. Lin Anxin asked, "mother, what's wrong with you? I see something is wrong with your face?"

Liu Sanniang sighed and said, "what's the matter? It's not that your milk has come to your door again. Your uncle has developed such a bad habit like a blood sucking leech. He doesn't want to do things all day long. He just depends on playing cards and hopes to make a fortune. Now he has no rice to cook, and he comes to our house to collect and scrape. I went out yesterday When she came back, she was holding a firewood knife and was ready to pry the lock of the door. Thanks to the jade bamboo and cauliflower, I thought that my room was not safe, so I brought all the money I had saved this year, and the gold hairpins and silver bracelets you gave me. "She took out a heavy cloth bag from her arms and said, "thanks to the fact that it's winter now, I don't show it in my arms even though I'm wearing my jacket. I think about it again and again. I'll have to hide the money with you to rest assured."

"Well, mother, I'll take it for you first." When Lin Anxin opened the cloth bag, she ordered some headgear besides the headgear Lin Anxin gave her. It's as many as forty-two. Mother, we have so many? "

Mentioning this, Liu Sanniang was in a good mood and said, "I'll take the private money given by your elder brother. I'm not afraid that I don't have any money in hand if I want to buy anything."

"Does sister-in-law know?" Lin Anxin asked.

Liu Sanniang replied: "I don't know. Your elder brother won't let me say that it's your brother's filial piety. I won't push it out. However, my Lin family didn't treat Jin Chai badly. Besides, if I save up the money, I'll have the capital to do business in the future. I have to find a lot of money to keep the shop for a year, and then I'll have his share."

She didn't think that there was anything wrong with her son, xiaojingniang. What's more, her son earned it by himself: "I didn't ask for half a copper plate of Jinchai. She keeps all the private houses she earned. Give it to me, and I don't want it."

"What's more, your father gave you milk with a copper plate yesterday. I'm really dead hearted to him. I'll let him go, and I won't take out any money I earn. It's all for my little girl."

No wonder her mother is upset.

If you change who you are, you will not be happy with such a husband or father.

Lin Anxin had to persuade her again.

From time to time, there were hailstones outside, grains as big as coarse salt seeds, falling on the roof in a crackle.

In such bad weather, in a cow carriage made of thick cotton cloth, Lin Qingsong is sitting there eating hot tea and chatting with his family letter.

"Young master, you are really capable. If your parents know that you are so promising, they have to burn a thick incense and offer you to their ancestors."

Lin Qingsong waved his hand and said with a smile: "in this world, I have only two people who are closest to each other. My mother, my sister and family letter. Next, my elder brother and my second elder sister. Please remember that it has nothing to do with me if there are other people."

"Ah, young master, you..." family letter see his dark face, after all, no longer speak.

The atmosphere inside the car was very stagnant until there was hail outside.

"Young master, I'm afraid it's going to snow again."

"Snow is a good omen for a good year, and the next year will be a good year." Lin Qingsong missed his mother, Lao Tzu and little sister very much: "it's like an arrow to return home. Do you have a letter to write to your family?"

"Yes, while the master sent the steward to settle some affairs with the young master, the slave took the time to write a letter of peace. However, young master, you really don't worry about letting the shopkeeper take care of it?"

"Before I arranged for him to go to the capital, I tested him for three years. I can trust his family's innocence." Lin Qingsong has already spread out his plate. The people of Chuzhou are lingdijie and rich in products. He plans to open a shop selling Chuzhou specialty products in the capital.

His adoptive father also wept with joy because he won the first place in life this time. He specially wrote a letter to comfort his white haired father. Fortunately, he didn't forget his parents and Ben.

The result of Lin Qingsong's efforts made his face very bright, and also made him see the hope of returning to the capital.

This time, Lin Qingsong just asked for his adoptive father's advice. However, his adoptive father immediately clapped his hands and told him not to worry about the fact that the Lu government in the capital would be his strong support.

"The young master is lucky to meet such a good man as the master." The letter from home is very emotional.

Lin Qingsong also felt that his fate was a bit magical.

"Young master, when you get to town, do you want to go back to the countryside first or not?"

"Go back to the courtyard. I still need to change my clothes. Hum, those people don't see me as a huazi. Naturally, I can't let them take advantage of me." Lin Qingsong's eyes are cold.

The letter quickly moved to the door of the carriage, lifted up a small corner of the curtain, only revealed a small crack, so that the coachman could hear: "go to the courtyard in the suburb of the town."

"Oh, sit still. It's snowing. I have to hurry up. Otherwise, when the snow buries the road, the old cow will not know the way back." The coachman said as he whipped the bullwhip.

Finally, the ox cart arrived in front of the yard in the suburb of the town before dinner.

Jiashu first gets off the cart and knocks on the door. He calls Jiaming to help him. They work together to lift Lin Qingsong's luggage down from the cart, and then pay for the cart.

Jiaming complained: "young master, how can you bear such hardships on such a cold day? Why don't you drive one of your carriages here?"

Lin Qingsong said with a smile: "it's just you who have a lot of things. Your young master is not made of rice paper. He can't stand the wind and rain like that. Take the things quickly and come into the house. Do you have anything to eat at home? I'm hungry after sitting in the ox cart all day."
