"Yes, I think it's time for the young master to come back today. Early in the morning, I put a pot of wine on the stove and asked the store to cut eight Jin of sauced beef. Some were mixed with coriander, scallion, sesame and chili oil, and some with gravy and peanut butter. They were all heated by the stove. Even the dinner was cooked. Wait a minute, just ask the woman to help me fry two small dishes."
Jiaming answered while helping to bring the luggage into the courtyard with a letter from home.
When Lin Qingsong had enough to eat and drink, Jiaming asked, "young master, why did you only drink half a cup?"
Lin Qingsong replied with a smile: "it's very cold in the new year's car. I'll take half a cup to get rid of the cold. I have to go back at night, but I can't ask the people over there to find out."
Then he asked, "are those two good robes redeemable?"
"When the young master left, the slave redeemed the things. How can the girl's Embroidery fall into the hands of outsiders?" Jiaming thinks that people from the south are not as good as people from the north.
Lin Qingsong replied with a smile: "just take it back. It's easy to collect things. I should be able to wear it next year."
When Jiaming saw that he put down his chopsticks and did not eat any more, he quickly picked up the rice in the bowl and boiled water for Lin Qingsong with a letter from his family. Afterwards, he advised: "young master, it's too cold today. I don't know if I'll go until dawn?"
"I can bear the cold. It's only a few miles away. It's just a short time. Besides, don't think it's really cold in the countryside. There's a lot of firewood burning in the house. The whole room is warm. It's just that it takes a lot of effort to cut firewood."
Lin Qingsong is still unmoved, asked him: "I go out this month, what can I do at home?"
Jiaming busily tells Xu zhi'er about coming to the door.
Lin Qingsong thinks that Deng Jingu stole the purse embroidered by his sister. He doesn't know what to do about it: "my Lin family and Deng family are not dead enemies. What's more, my elder brother and sister-in-law are in the middle of each other. They are always selling their friendship. I have to think about Deng Jingu carefully before we can decide. As for Xu zhier and his grudge, it's up to her If she wants revenge, I'll find her a good family. If she doesn't want revenge, I'll find her an ordinary family to live in peace for the rest of her life. "
"Young master, Xu zhi'er said that she wanted to find a good family, as long as she could get revenge." Jiaming wanted to help Xu zhi'er and said, "she went to the ordinary family. She has no father or mother. The young master can suppress that family with some small means, but the young master can't stare there all his life. Where the young master can't see, maybe her mother-in-law will bully her that there is no one in her mother's family. It's better to find a good family for her and keep her safe for the rest of her life."
Jiaming didn't say that some things are decided from the beginning, which is better than many variables.
After thinking about it, Lin Qingsong said, "if she thinks so, I will follow her wishes. Although we have only made a deal with her, in the face of our fellow countrymen, I will find a good home for her. As for the future, it's up to her. By the way, I told her that I will try to get her property back. As for Deng Jinggu, I don't have enough money The evidence can prove that he did it. I'll fill in the money as a gift to her. "
"The young master will make money. He doesn't care about the little money." Jiaming is a little reluctant. It's one thing to help Xu zhi'er, but he's a little reluctant to let his young master spend money.
"Well, let's leave a line of friendship, so that we can see each other in the future. Let's not do things too well. In other words, we don't have to worry about many things if we are not a few years older than my sister." Lin Qingsong's idea, Jiaming can never guess.
"Young master, when Xu zhi'er came that day, he also mentioned that she would not stay long in Zhao's family. After Zhao duocai abandoned Deng Jinling, he was afraid that she would really be entangled with her." Jiaming is busy telling it.
Lin Qingsong replied indifferently: "it's just that the Zhao family can't find her. How did she come and how did she leave? You go to arrange it and contact my steward. A new Inn in Yanghe county has fallen down for a while. I'll go back to repair a letter. You quietly go to find Xu zhier and give the letter to her. Let her go to the county to find the steward. You will get rid of her I will send her there after I find her a good home. "
"The young master wants to write to the master. I'm going to polish your ink." After listening to a letter from his family for a long time, he busily took things to the study of the East chamber.
Lin Qingsong is really going to write a letter to Lu chunshao, asking him to do such a small favor. Maybe he can still use the favor Xu zhier owes in the future.
...
the continuous snow outside is falling slowly, and the four fields are bright and clear. It's hard to tell day from night. Lin Anxin is walking on the village road with wooden clogs and a small paper umbrella.
She just sent Liu Sanniang to the entrance of Shunshui village, and then went to the shop to weigh a jin of snowflake jujube cake, and let Liu Sanniang take a jin of maoerduo back to eat.
Lin Anxin tightened the thick cloak on the tight fitting body, and let out another breath of white air.
Clogs creak on the snow.
"Drive... Drive...!" The sound of driving came from behind."Ah, but Su's little girl, let's go quickly. The snow is too slippery and the wheels can't stop. Let's go quickly."
Zhou Changgen's voice came from far behind.
The biggest rich family in Shunshui village is the Su family, followed by the Zhou family. In the past, the biggest local rich man in Shunshui village has moved his family to the town.
Lin Anxin holds the oil paper umbrella and looks back.
The bullock cart came in slowly, and she stepped back to let her out of the way.
"Uncle, where are you coming back from?"
Zhou Changgen was very proud. He reached for the winter hat of black rabbit skin on his head, put his hand into the sleeve of thick brocade robe, shook his cloak of black rabbit skin, and laughed amiably: "Oh, it's the little girl of Lin family. Where do you come from in this cold day? I just came back from the capital
Lin Anxin's heart and eyes pierced a few more holes, his little face flushed, and he was very innocent with a smile: "my mother just came to see me, just sent her to the village, and was about to go back. Uncle came back from the capital? I've heard that you're doing big business in the capital. The whole village knows that. "
"No, it's just that I've sent some lotus roots to my house at the behest of a noble man." Zhou Changgen's mouth is very happy, but in his heart, he has already scolded his stupid mother-in-law for countless times. Don't you know that he has no money?
He wondered if his daughter had got the antique.
Zhou Changgen didn't do much when he went to the capital this time. One was that he fawned on the red man in front of Mrs. Weisheng. The other was that Haosheng inquired about the antiques of the former dynasty. He followed the red man in front of Mrs. Weisheng to gain insight and went to the famous Duobao Pavilion in the capital. There he knew that there were many kinds of antiques in the former dynasty, such as the one in the hands of the Deng family It's made in the interior. It belongs to the Royal treasures of the former dynasty. I don't know why it was so lucky to be exiled to the Deng family.
There is only one pair of such antiques in the whole Zhou Dynasty. If they can be put together, they can be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
No wonder his eldest son-in-law is so excited. Zhou Changgen is used to having more eyes than sieve holes, and he is good at calculation. His eldest son-in-law is going to Beijing for the exam, but he hasn't disclosed any news, and he doesn't say that he will go to Beijing with his eldest son-in-law.
"Is it?" Lin Anxin glanced at the ox cart he was sitting in, followed by five Liang ox carts, all covered with oil soaked cowhide.
"You have made a fortune."
Unable to conceal his pride, Zhou Changgen replied, "it's just some special products of the capital. I'll ask Yuanbao to send one to your mother-in-law's family. If I want to tell you, it's not as good as our snacks in Chuzhou."
Lin Anxin said thanks.
In a hurry to go home, Zhou Changgen didn't tell Lin Anxin any more. He urged the coachman to drive the ox cart home.
Lin Anxin was standing on the paper. In the vast white snow, under the yellow vegetable oil paper umbrella, there was a light purple rattan shadow, but his eyes were very black...
the ox cart that Zhou Changgen was sitting in soon arrived at the door of Zhou's house. Sun Cuihua was taking Zhou youzhao to take the soles of his shoes at home. When he heard the cow's cry at the door of the courtyard, he was very glad to see that he was the head of the family.
Zhou youzhao came out of the house.
By this time, he had already run from the study to the gate of the courtyard, and he called out his father and helped him get off the ox cart.
When Zhou youzhao put on his clogs to catch up with him, Zhou Changgen had already stood at the gate of the yard. The commander drove the ox cart into the yard, and asked the Coachmans to help unload the things. He asked sun Cuihua to open the door of the West Wing room and pile up all the things in the West Wing room.
The population of the Zhou family is simpler. The first two daughters are married. There are only Zhou Changgen and his wife, one son and one daughter in the family. There are only four people in all.
Sun Cuihua asked Li erniang to cook in the kitchen.
After moving things, Zhou settled the wages for the Coachmans and sent them away.
Zhou youzhao was circling around the cages. Seeing Zhou Changgen coming in, he quickly welcomed him up: "Dad, are you really rich when you go to the capital? Is lotus root expensive in Beijing? Why did dad buy so many things? "
"It's my daughter who is rich in her life. As a father, I'm so proud. I'm so smart. When I went there, I brought more lotus roots and some special products from Chuzhou. Originally, I wanted to send a car to that house. Later, I quietly used some money to give it to the steward of that house. I heard that there is no lotus root pond in Weisheng's house I brought a lot of lotus roots, and greedy for my silver. When I got the sweetness, I naturally wanted to repay it. I quietly sent a message, saying that Mrs. Wei Sheng likes to eat lotus root stewed bone soup, sweet scented osmanthus and sugar lotus root, and that the lotus roots from northern China are not as good as those from Chuzhou. No matter what we do, we can always smell the fragrance of powder. "
