"Brother, have you heard?"
General's House
Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan with some anxiety.
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, "I heard."
Guo Bing frowned and said, "Today, Ji Zhongcai, the prefect of Zhoushan, gave Prime Minister Liu a congratulatory gift. Is it possible that the thing called cherries was made by Miss Lin?"
The reason why they have such suspicion is that Anding County is under the jurisdiction of Zhiji Zhongcai, and Linjia Village is under the jurisdiction of Anding County.
Although Ji Zhongcai didn't say where those things came from, he intuitively told them that this cherry was made by Lin Yuelan.
This thing has now appeared at the birthday banquet of Prime Minister Liu, and it has been appreciated by the civil and military officials. They are all inquiring about the source of this thing, which will naturally attract the attention and investigation of those who are interested.
Jiang Zhennan looked at the silvery moon in the sky, and said with certainty, "That must be something made by Miss Yue'er."
He knew some unusual secrets of Lin Yuelan.
The things she made are very aura, looking at the bright water, he knew that it must have a lot to do with that little green.
That kind of fruit called cherries, no matter where it is shipped from, it is reasonable to say that it will lose some moisture and luster, but listening to Baiguan's words, it looks like it was just picked from the fruit tree. Brilliant luster.
Therefore, this thing must be made by Lin Yuelan.
Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan's words with certainty, and the worried look on his face immediately revealed, he said, "Brother, this thing has already caught the attention of the dignitaries in the capital. With Ji Zhongcai, I believe that Miss Lin will be found soon. There. Shall we block their forces to prevent Miss Lin from being found?"
Jiang Zhennan pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "You don't have to block all of them!"
Guo Bing immediately asked suspiciously, "Why?"
They have now returned to the General's Mansion. Although they can't stop these people from finding Lin Yuelan forever, they can stop them for a while.
But why not block it all?
Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said, "Only then can Ji Zhong successfully bring the cherry fruit from Zhoushan to the capital. Do you think Miss Yue'er will not know?"
Guo Bing was startled, and he said in surprise, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Zhennan said, "Bingzi, you said that with Miss Yue'er's intelligence and ability, if she doesn't want people to bring things to the capital, do you think Ji Zhong can give things to Prime Minister Liu as a gift today?"
Guo Bing calmed down after being surprised for a moment.
He said, "So, eldest brother, do you mean that this cherry was specially brought to the capital by Lin Yuelan?"
Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, "That's right."
"But, why is this?" Guo Bing didn't understand, and said worriedly, "Although she has the ability, she clearly said that she doesn't want trouble. Then once a cherry like her appears, she will definitely Caused a sensation in the capital. If so, she must be in trouble, right?"
Jiang Zhennan looked at the moon in the sky, sighed lightly and said, "You and I both know that since she rescued the five of our brothers, she has been caught in a vortex of trouble. This time, she may be planning to appear in the An introduction to the public."
Guo Bing listened and remained silent, not knowing what to say.
Lin Yuelan had said that she would come to the capital in half a year.
Maybe this time is really just the beginning of coming to Beijing.
Lin Yuelan's strange ability, although they are very clear, her strange ability, if she is willing, can protect the country and people's safety, if it is not for those greedy and ambitious people who covet her ability and ability.
However, I hope those people don't annoy her, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Guo Bing sighed slightly in his heart.
...
Lin Yuelan took the letter that Zhou Wencai handed over, and after reading it, she raised her eyebrows and asked Zhou Wencai with an inexplicable smile, saying, "What are you going to do? Hey, let's talk about it first, let me contribute four or five more. It’s still possible to weigh a kilogram, but if you want a hundred kilograms, don’t think about it.”
Even if she has stock, she can't take it out all at once to show favor to these people.
Zhou Wen heard it, but also looked distressed. He sighed and said, "I also know that it costs hundreds of pounds of cherries, which is a bit outrageous. But, Sister Yuelan, you must help my father this time. You too You know, the first-level official crushes people, so Ji Zhongcai is more than an official higher than my father. He is writing a letter to order my father to get a hundred catties of cherries. Even if my father wants to resist, he can't resist, unless my father Don't be this official anymore."
Lin Yuelan said with a serious face, "It's just Big Brother Zhou, whether your father is an official or not doesn't seem to have much to do with this girl, right?"
After listening to Zhou Wen, his heart choked, and he immediately analyzed, "Sister Yuelan, you are wrong. You think, first of all, let's not talk about the deep friendship between you and me, just this point you should also Can you help me? Besides, you come to me to go to the restaurant you are now in Anding County, and the Linji Pharmacy is not covered by my father. Besides, everyone in Anding County knows that you, Lin Yuelan The person behind it is my father Zhou Magistrate, right? So, it can't be said that it doesn't matter."
After listening, Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "That's right. It's just, Brother Zhou, your father shouldn't be the magistrate. If you let someone else be the magistrate of Anding County, this girl seems to be able to convince her to be the girl's backstage as well, right?"
Zhou Wencai choked, but he immediately reacted, "Sister Yuelan, you can't say that. Look, my father is your backstage, doesn't seem to be greedy for any advantage of you, you can replace it with a county magistrate. , it's not necessarily true, it's just that these hundreds of two kilograms of cherries and these high-priced special fruits are all enviable income. Besides, your farming method and this winter vegetable growing method are all different. Those who can make promotions and get rich, can you keep those people in their hands and secretly do harm? So, after all, my father is the most loyal, right? ."
After Lin Yuelan listened, she pretended to think seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "Listening to you, it seems that I help Magistrate Zhou for granted, right?"
Zhou Wencai's expression froze, saying yes or no, saying no and no, he suddenly stopped talking.
Lin Yuelan suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, Brother Zhou, I was joking with you, but I actually took it seriously. As you said, with the friendship between you and me, and the fact that Magistrate Zhou is a rare good official , how could I not help you?"
Zhou Wencai was overjoyed, and immediately jumped up happily and said, "Sister Yuelan, what do you want to do? Can't you really sell 100 catties of cherries to us?"
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, "The price of my cherries has risen to 421 jin per catty, 100 catties, but 40,000 taels of silver, can you really afford it?"
As soon as he heard 40,000 taels, Zhou Wencai's expression immediately weakened.
The last time he was asked to buy these cherries for 2,500 taels had already made him feel a lot of pain, but taking another 40,000 taels would not be a pain in the flesh, but a pain in the heart of the entire family property.
After all, the total property of his Zhou family in the entire Anding County is only 40,000 to 50,000 taels.
Could it be that he could go bankrupt and buy these hundred catties of cherries?
I don't even want to.
Zhou Wencai immediately said sternly, "Then what do you mean?" Couldn't they really send hundreds of catties of cherries?
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, "You want to be beautiful. Besides, I don't want to be cheap, that prefect Ji Zhong is not."
She asked Xiaolu to inquire about this Ji Zhongcai.
She is simply a scum in human skin, so, no matter what, it is impossible for her to let Ji Zhongcai take her things to get rich and make connections.
Zhou Wencai was a little puzzled, "Then what exactly do you mean?"
Lin Yuelan immediately said sternly, "Brother Zhou, if I know correctly, your Zhou family in Anding County is actually a side branch of the Zhou family in the capital, right?"
Hearing Lin Yuelan's question, Zhou Wencai was shocked.
Although this is not a complete secret in the capital, it is a secret in Anding County. Where did Lin Yuelan know about it?
Could it be that he heard it from Jiang Zhennan?
But on second thought, it is unlikely.
This Jiang Zhennan is a military attache. He has been away for a long time, and only returned to the capital in the past half a year. Therefore, he may not know the secrets of the major families in the capital, let alone guess that he Zhou Wencai and his father Zhou Changsheng are the capital Zhou. A side branch from the house.
Zhou Wencai murmured, "Sister Yuelan, you... how did you know?"
Lin Yuelan shook her head, and said very seriously, "You don't care where I know it? You just need to tell me whether it is or not?"
Zhou Wencai was entangled in his heart for a moment, and then he seemed determined to say, "Yes!"
With Lin Yuelan's ability and the relationship between Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, his friendship with her was absolutely beneficial to him, and it was likely to help them return to the capital. In this case, there was no need for him to hide Lin Yuelan.
I believe that at this moment, Lin Yuelan asked him about this matter, and it must be intentional.
Lin Yuelan nodded, and then asked seriously again, "Then do you want to go back to the capital?"
Zhou Wen was stunned.
He was taken aback by this sudden questioning.
However, Zhou Wencai reacted immediately, and he replied blankly, "Yes, of course!"
It has been five years since they came to Anding County. He has grown from a junior scholar to a scholar, but his father has been sitting in the position of the magistrate of Anding County.
In the past five years, the father and son have been waiting for the call of the Zhou family in the capital, and then, they became the first people in the capital and occupied a place in the capital.
In this process, they went from their expectations at the beginning, to a slight loss, to disappointment, and finally to a state of despair, believing that the capital had completely forgotten them, completely abandoned them, and abandoned them.
Therefore, under the despair of despair, day after day in Anding County, until Lin Yuelan planted high-yield grains with a yield of eight stones per mu.
Because this happened in Anding County, he suddenly raised the hope of returning to Beijing.
However, Lin Yuelan, who did not expect it, forced them to suppress this matter, and only allowed the people of Anding County to grow grain according to Lin Yuelan's method.
However, because autumn has passed and winter is coming, all planting in Anding County has not been carried out, so they will not be able to see the achievements. Therefore, they can only wait patiently for the harvest of grain in the spring tomorrow.
However, when he heard Lin Yuelan ask them if they wanted to go back to the capital, he suddenly felt a surge of excitement and excitement in his heart. He didn't know why he felt this way.
But his intuition told him that the girl in front of him could help them.
When Lin Yuelan heard his answer, she nodded with satisfaction, "That's good."
Immediately, she said solemnly, "Big Brother Zhou, because I don't want to take advantage of that Ji Zhongcai, so I want to choose to support you, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Wencai was really shocked.
If these words came from an ordinary child, he would definitely think that this child was fanciful, or that he was mad and mad, and he couldn't take it seriously.
However, since these words came from a child who has created one legend after another, he has to take it seriously, and he takes it very seriously.
Although Lin Yuelan said a simple sentence, it contained a very deep meaning.
Support, support, how much content does this have to say the word "support"?
For an ordinary person to support an official, in addition to financial support, he also needs the maintenance of contacts. An ordinary peasant girl like Lin Yuelan, in addition to her current assets, knew Jiang Zhennan, a town that appeared out of thin air, in the village. Apart from the generals, there is almost no money and no connections, but she can say that she supports them, but he believes it in his heart.
Things just feel so weird!
Zhou Wencai still said in disbelief, "Yue...Sister Yuelan, you...is what you said true?"
Lin Yuelan nodded seriously and said, "What this girl said can't be more true. It's more true than gold, but I don't know if you and your father are willing to gamble?"
Asking her, a peasant girl, to help a county magistrate enter the capital was like a gamble on fate, and they handed everything over to Lin Yuelan.
If you win, you will have a bright future; if you lose, you will have nothing!
Zhou Wencai felt that this matter was too big, and he really didn't dare to deal with it for a while.
He said, "Sister Yuelan, this matter is too big, I have to go back and discuss it with my father!"
Lin Yuelan said, "That's fine. I only give you three days. If you don't answer within three days, I'll assume that you don't want to gamble."
Zhou Wencai said very cautiously, "Well, I see."
Afterwards, he left Linjia Village in a hurry. Looking at his hasty back, Lin Yuelan looked at the gray sky and said coldly, "This day should be azure blue!"
...
Yan family
The new housekeeper excitedly said to Yan Lin, "Master, master, today's more than 100 acres of greenhouses have been set up and can be planted tomorrow. But, master, what kinds of seeds do you plan to plant?"
That dead girl's house has put down a lot of new varieties of vegetables that have never been seen before. I heard that those dishes are expensive to sell.
If the master also gets these new varieties, then after two or three months, wouldn't it be a fortune?
Yan Lin frowned a little while listening, and he said with some doubts, "Can there be several species, isn't it cabbage, the seeds of cabbage?"
The new butler looked at his master's puzzled expression and was slightly surprised, but soon he asked, "Master, don't you know?"
"Know what?" Yan Lin was even more puzzled.
"There are many new varieties of vegetables grown by Lin Yuelan's family, and in addition to green and yellow-flowered vegetables, there are also purple and red vegetables, etc. Those vegetables are still expensive, at least more expensive than those cabbage. Two or three times."
Yan Lin was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "There is such a thing? Why has no one ever told me?"
The new butler was silent.
He also didn't understand why this master's family was so ignorant. What happened in this Linjia Village, and it was still rumored, he had never heard of it, which was really surprising.
Yan Lin immediately became angry and scolded, "What a good Lin Sanniu, he actually gave me a hand."
If Lin Sanniu told him about it, no matter what, he would have Lin Sanniu find a way to get those seeds for him, or get some seedlings, waiting to plant them now.
But, now, he can only think of a way to get these new varieties from Lin Yuelan.
He suddenly asked, "I heard that Lin Sanniu is still working for that dead girl, right?"
The new housekeeper was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes. I heard that the county magistrate accused Lin Sanniu of working for Lin Yuelan, and I heard that except for food, he would not give them a single penny." Anyway, this is Just work for free.
"That means Lin Sanniu is very reluctant to work for Lin Yuelan?" Yan Lin asked.
"Yes, sir!"
"Okay, go find a way to get in touch with Lin Sanniu, and tell him, I have a way to make him stop working for Lin Yuelan, just see if he can use it?"
The new butler replied doubtfully, "Yes, sir!"
However, what they couldn't imagine was that this time Lin Sanniu seemed to accept his fate, and he simply ignored the butler of the Yan family who came to the door.
When Lin Sanniu saw the Yan family, his heart was full of fire, and he said angrily to the housekeeper Yan, "You go and tell him Yan Lin, unless he takes the initiative to pay me 1,400 taels, otherwise, don't come again. Find me."
He was very angry when he thought that the last time he was in the county office, he was beaten by a board for stealing vegetables and had to pay 1,400 taels.
Why should Yan Lin be the culprit and be safe and sound, and he must compensate the dead girl?
Therefore, this time, no matter what, he will not cooperate with Yan Lin again.
Yan Lin frowned and asked, "Did he really say that? If he wants me to give him 1,400 taels, he will do the work for me?"
"Yes, sir!"
Immediately, this Yan Lin became angry, "Who does this **** think he is? Hmph, I don't believe it. With so many workers, he is the only one who can do things? Go, go and investigate, those workers of Lin Yuelan. , is there any shortage of money? Send some?"
"Yes, sir!"
