Since October, the noble people in Beijing seem to be getting busier and busier.
But the students who came to the capital for the exam were getting more and more. After a day, Lin Anxin didn't hear about things outside the window, and only wanted to earn money.
Lin Qingsong studies the books of sages in his study all day long. Every few days, he goes to Mingsong college to see Mr. Hu. There are few places for him to solve his doubts. He often disputes with Mr. Hu about the recent events in the imperial court. At that time, Su junyang will sneak out with him and sit on one side to listen. He is surprised that Mr. Hu actually passed the examination from Mingsong college Students.
Ordinary light days, has been to the autumn Wei.
Lin Qingsong was admitted to the Imperial College without any dispute. Lin Anxin heard some clues from his dialogue with Su junyang. Most of them were because Lin Qingsong didn't want to show off in the forest, so he only got into the top ten. Even so, Mingsong college has taken four or five places.
He was in the seventh place, not at the top, not at the bottom. He was in the top ten, not very obvious.
His husband was quite satisfied with his achievements. Lin Qingsong specially found a good day, invited Lu chunshao and his wife to accompany him, and invited his husband and his wife to have a meal at home.
The opening day of the new students in Guozijian will be on the first day of February next year, and Lu chunshao has already used his contacts to get Lin Qingsong a deputy promotion post of the ninth grade of the head of the household department.
During the period before the beginning of school, Lin Qingsong basically had to stay in the Yamen and learn how to be a servant.
Lin Anxin soon learned from Su junyang that Su Juncheng, the son of Prince Gong's family, worked with Lin Qingsong. This is the promotion of zhengbapin.
When Lin Qingsong was admitted to the Imperial College, he had to have another social intercourse. Su junyang also benefited from it, because he always looked for opportunities to introduce him to his classmates, but he didn't want to involve Lin Anxin for the time being. They had a tacit understanding and didn't mention the relationship between Lang and uncle.
Uncle Lang, that is, Lin Anxin's fiance, is called Lang, and uncle is brother, which means Lin Qingsong.
No one would have thought that a person ignored by everyone would eventually drag Lin Anxin into the water.
On the tenth day of December, Lin Anxin was sitting in the house, pulling a small abacus. Since she left the town of weights, she had not worked so hard to settle the old accounts for a long time.
But it's easy to say and very hard to separate some old bad debts from some already done ones. Because Su junyang asked her to help with some of them, she became more and more tired.
Today, she will do a good job of copying the old bad accounts, and write down the reasons for this account.
After writing for a long time, her right shoulder was very sore. She put down her brush and stretched out comfortably.
Listen to the spring for her to make a cup of Osmanthus tea, listen to the language around the book, came to her behind, for her already painful shoulder.
Ailian came in from the outside with a happy face.
"Girl, girl, someone is coming from the south."
"Who?" Lin Anxin asked in surprise.
"It's the second master and his wife, and the second young master." Aileen replied with a smile.
Lin Anxin, smiling for a moment, happily asked, "where are you, but you're home?"
"No, I sent the boy to deliver the letter ahead of time. The second master came with another caravan. The maid asked the boy who delivered the letter. Last night, the second master and others stopped at an inn in the suburb. The boy who delivered the letter rushed all night and came to Beijing to deliver the letter first."
Lin Anxin was overjoyed and called Ai Qing: "you are very smart and have many ghost ideas. Please help me think quickly. My second uncle, my second aunt and cousin Qingye are coming today. Come on, how can I arrange their accommodation?"
"The girl is too impatient. The maid has just asked. The second master and others are afraid that they will be able to catch up for dinner."
Ai Qing then said, "the left and right ladies are empty in the West. It's better to invite the second lady to live in that room. The second master and the second young master will follow the third young master to live in the front. Girl, how about this arrangement?"
Lin Anxin didn't agree. He urged Ai Qing to take her to do it, and asked, "does my mother know this happy event?"
Ai Qing replied with a smile: "my wife already knows that this meeting has already taken Zhenyue and others to buy vegetables outside."
Lin Anxin replied: "it happens that this account book has been reorganized, and the rest of the day is free. It's better to let you work for half a day."
She put down her tea cup and asked Aijing and others to go to the front yard. The old women were already cleaning up.
Since December, although Lin Anxin has taken on more and more embroidery screen work, she doesn't need to be on her own as she did earlier. No matter how many girls she has, or who are picked out from the 25 embroidery girls, she is competent. The ordinary embroidery screen can't stop them.
Unless it's a valuable embroidered screen, it's just that such a embroidered screen Lin Anxin has rarely done any more.
In the past, because she wanted to open up the situation, she had to come forward. Now the embroidery ladies can hold on, and she also gradually let go.
What's more, Lin Qingsong once went to her and told her that if she was short of money, just tell him that if she gets married in the future, his elder brother will have to buy some dowries for her, so that she can't be anxious. It doesn't matter if the embroidery shop earns more than she earns. It's just for her to spend her spare time.Lin an doesn't know what business she used to do in the south. Lin Qingsong not only never interferes, but also secretly encourages her.
I couldn't help asking why he thought differently.
It turns out that someone has already spread a rumor that Lin Anxin is actually the fiancee of the newly appointed Prince Ping. The most important thing for the royal family is face. Since he refuses to let Lin Anxin do such a thing again, Su junyang looks for an opportunity to tell him that it doesn't matter if he opens an embroidery shop to earn money, but he can't let her do the embroidery screen in person for money Lin an is not at ease.
When Lin Anxin heard this, she felt resentful. She didn't steal or rob. The money she worked hard with her hands was much cleaner than the money in those big houses.
Although the heart is not fair, but Lin Qingsong's words, she finally listened.
That's why she's honest at home and pulling abacus beads.
She took Aiqing and others to open a large warehouse. The Lin family had only three masters, and Lin Qingsong had never married. Naturally, there was no public warehouse. Only Liu Sanniang's Westinghouse had a large warehouse. After a long time of rummaging, she found some new quilts. When Liu Sanniang knew that she was coming to the capital, she went to the south to find the master who played cotton to make them.
She remembers that Liu Sanniang nagged at that time, saying that the quilt was particularly dry and warm in the big sun.
Lin Anxin thought that the reason is that there is less water in the air on a sunny day. Cotton wadding doesn't absorb as much water as it does on a rainy day. And because it's used on the body, people's bodies are particularly sensitive to damp things.
Moving the new quilt to xicijian, Aiqing went to find some satins to make the quilt cover and fine cotton material to make the quilt lining, which is similar to the modern quilt cover with two different versions, except that the ancient people didn't use zippers to clip the quilt between the quilt cover and the quilt lining, folded the fine cotton material around, wrapped the satin quilt cover around, and then put it on Sew it by stitch.
Qiuxiang and Qiushuang are left at home by Liu Sanniang. Lin Anxin directs the six girls around, and sews the three new quilts after half an hour.
I don't know where the women got the dry straw, which had already been laid on the bed board.
Lin Anxin with the girls for a while busy, this will be the newly opened three beds ready.
She looked up at the sky and gave a surprise.
"Hasn't my mother come back yet? How many people did she take out? "
The women who beat the girls are the ones who belong to Lin Anxin. When Lin Anxin asked them, they put down their work. They all gathered around and talked nonsense.
Lin Anxin learned from their words that Liu Sanniang had brought Qiuyue, Qiufeng and four other rude envoys out of the door. She said that her family members had to buy more hard dishes and ask Lin Shunshui and others to taste the special food of the north.
"It's strange. I look at this hour. It's almost noon. Why hasn't my mother come back yet? She's busy selling vegetables. It's time to come back."
She took the girls at home, at least busy for more than an hour.
It's estimated to be about three hours in modern times.
What's more, after leaving Maoer alley, there are many peddlers selling vegetables on the street. Liu Sanniang doesn't need to go far to buy good vegetables.
"Girl, why don't you ask a woman to look outside?" Listen to spring and love eye to look at each other, also feel this matter son some strange.
Ai Jing comforted her again and said: "most of the students who have just passed the autumn Wei exam in Beijing have never left for home. It is said that the roads are blocked by heavy snow and the river is frozen, so they can't walk. The guards of the capital city have breathed a breath since they entered Beijing. The maidservant also heard that because of the coming of the new year, they have transferred officers and soldiers from the outskirts of Beijing. Those local ruffians and hooligans didn't know it for a long time Where are you hiding
She said that under normal circumstances, it is different from Lin Shunshui's following the caravan.
The caravan that Lin Shunshui followed was actually composed of several large caravans. All the owners behind him were aristocratic families in the capital. None of them did not want to be provoked. What's more, after being used to such a road, he naturally knew how to protect the vans in the caravan.
Lin Anxin scratched her head. What Aiqing said was very reasonable. She also understood this truth. However, she was not at ease. She sent two old women to look for her outside and asked Tingquan to take people to prepare the best tea sets, tea leaves, snacks and dried fruits.
In the end, she couldn't help it. She took the little girls and the women to wait at the gate of the courtyard. Although the people living in Maoer Hutong were not rich families, those who could live in the east of the city had something to do with the dignitaries of the east of the city. This also led to the security of the east of the city, which was safer than the other three places.
Against the gaze of the people, Lin Anxin stood at the gate of the hospital slightly embarrassed.
I don't know how long I've been standing. Finally, I see Liu Sanniang with her girls and ladies.
"Mother!" Lin Anxin quickly steps up and yells: "Niang, why have you been there so long? My daughter is worried."
Liu Sanniang didn't like to hear her say the word "death", which Lin Anxin avoided."No, no, nothing."
Liu Sanniang holds her hand especially cold, Lin Anxin Xiu eyebrow light Cu, this is how to return a responsibility?
