Lord of the House

After having a drink at the restaurant in Shanglindu, Lin Fu and others went to Zhao Hu's house. Lin Fu was purely a nerd before. Except for the Lin family and the villagers of Shanglin Village, there were almost no connections in Shiliang County. Zhou Pu , Chen Enze settled in and naturalized, and Lin Jingchang and Zhao Hu were required to help with errands.

Zhao Hu has been a small leader in the village camp for two years, and he has opened his eyes. Neither he nor Lin Jingchang are timid and ignorant mountain villagers. The village camps controlled by the Lin family also often recruit some foreigners, and Zhao Hu knows a little about the matter of settlement and naturalization. Lin Jingchang failed to get the title, and went to the Lin's warehouse to be the accountant, feeling a lot of energy in his heart. Although he doesn't get much attention from his family, he spent 12 points of thought and energy to get in. His knowledge and mind are much deeper than Zhao Hu's. Menzi Qian explained everything to Lin Fu in detail: "I know Chen Shuban from the household's house in the county, but Brother Zhou left Jibei and wandered outside for several years before he remembered that it would be difficult to settle down and become a naturalized citizen. He would probably have to find Chen County Cheng. , I'm going to the county the day after tomorrow to help you run around... Zhao Hu doesn't have anything particularly important, why don't you let Zhao Hu lead the talented people to a few key people?"

Lin Fu, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu, Lin Jingchang and others returned to Zhao Hu's house from the restaurant. Someone had been waiting for him at Zhao Hu's house for a long time, but it was Lu Dongyang, the teacher of Shiliang County, and Chen Ling, the head of the county, in the yamen. Accompanied by the famous yamen, he visited the house, and the chief of Shanglinli was also at Zhao Hu's house.

Although Lin Fu studied in the Lin Jiayi School, he was a scholar in the year when Lu Dongyang went to Shiliang County to teach, and he was nominally a disciple of Lu Dongyang.

Seeing Lu Dongyang waiting at Zhao Hu's house, Lin Fuzuo said, "Why is my teacher here?"

"...Let's come to find you," Lu Dongyang stared at Lin Fie for a moment before talking about the reason why he and the county clerk, Chen Ling, came here, "After the robbery in Baisha County, the Minister of Xuanfu Envoy was alerted, and the case has not been closed yet. , but with the testimony of Zhao Neng, the servant of the Lin family, and Baisha County, the envoy is convinced that you died in the robbery. Before noon, I went to Linli to send a message to the county office, saying that you should return by boat today, and this matter must not be sloppy. I came to verify with the Director Chen Ling. Please tell the Director Chen about all your experiences after encountering the robbers. The county needs to report this to the envoy Si Xingwen, and I am here as a witness..."

"Of course, my teacher and Master Chen are not here. I also plan to go to the county tomorrow to report the matter." Lin Fu replied, asking Lu Dongyang, Chen Ling and others to come in and repeat the well-crafted lie. .

It is said that the influence of Sumei is far greater than that of his just-in-class juror, but the part of the Baisha County robbery involving Sumei only needs Baisha County to inform the Jiangning government that there is a secretary, but the robbery case involves a juror who has just reached the first place. , is about to alarm Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy, but it is only alarming. Now that Lu Dongyang and the county clerk have personally come to the door to verify that Lin Fu has returned to Shanglin Village, it is not surprising. After all, the matter has alarmed the Minister of Xuanfu Envoy, and if something goes wrong, Shiliang County will not be able to handle it.

Perhaps the county was even more afraid that the Lin family would launch an impostor "Lin Fu", so they asked Lu Dongyang, a county school teacher who had met Lin Fu a few times, to personally verify it.

After Lu Dongyang and the county administrator Chen Ling confirmed that Lin Fu was himself correct, he was not particularly concerned about what happened to Lin Fu in the past month. I hurried back to the county. As for Zhou Pu's help to save people, Lu Dongyang and Chen Ling both said that the county would give them an award. As for Zhou Pu and Chen Enze's nephew, they were going to settle in Shiliang County for naturalization. This matter was guaranteed by Lin Fu, and he was Lin Fu. The entourage of the bound attendants is a low-ranking member, so of course there is no problem.

****************************

I didn’t go to the restaurant for dinner at night, so in the main room of Zhao Hu’s new house, there was a table of wine, pork cheeks, roast chicken, braised fish and a few sparse vegetables. I bought two jars of wine from the restaurant, which were a bit sour. In this dynasty, wine, tea, salt, and iron were exclusively operated by the government. The government collected too much wine tax, and good wine was unusually expensive.

Zhao Hu's father is an honest man who can't beat the fart with a stick. He can only play with crops. He didn't say a word on the wine table. He just pursed his lips with his fingers on the edge of the wine bowl, and was reluctant to swallow.

When there were guests, Zhao Hu and his three younger siblings were not qualified to sit at the table, so they all rushed to the old house to eat, and Lin Fu served meat. Half a bowl of meat and half a chicken torn up and sent to them, it was really sad to see them devoured it impatiently.

Zhao Hu's mother has been helping servants in the big mansion all these years, helping the Seventh Madam, and she has seen some worldly affairs. She is more like the head of the family in the Zhao family. Zhao Hu's mother makes up his mind about everything in the Zhao family. According to the rules, women and children are not allowed to attend the banquet at home. Zhao is also a woman who obeys the rules. She stood at the wine table and chased after him and mentioned that Zhao Hu was serving Lin Fu as a squire. In her opinion Such a good opportunity cannot be easily passed up.

"I'm going to Jiangning, I won't stay in Dongyang..." Lin Fu said, knowing that Zhao Hu should have discussed with his family about being a squire for so long, thinking that he should be embarrassing himself Not willing to ask himself, even so, Lin Fu still wanted to plan their thoughts.

"..." Zhao shi was stunned. She didn't ask Lin Fu to stay in Dongyang and go to Jiangning. She hesitated for a while, but she couldn't decide whether to let Zhao Hu go to Jiangning as well. This was not what she thought at first. Same.

At this moment, the dog in the yard began to bark, and I vaguely heard a woman's voice calling from the old house: "Is nephew Zhao Hu? Is Xiucai there?"

Lin Fu didn't know who was coming to him, but after a while, he heard Zhao Hu and his sister Mei Zi greet someone from the old house: "It turned out to be Aunt Lan and Uncle Gui Sheng, you come to my brother and Xiucai brother. What are they doing? They're in the yard next door, I'll take you there."

The local dog in the yard kept barking, kicking someone again, screaming, whimpering and following the person into the main room.

Lin Fujian saw that it was Lin Guisheng and his wife who occupied his old house. Lin Guisheng had a shackle (a long bag with an opening in the middle and two sides to hold things) on his shoulders. The shackle chain looked bulging and heavy. Lin Fu pulled the bench out, and beckoned Lin Guisheng to sit down: "Uncle Guisheng, come and sit, have a glass of wine first, I'll write a document for you later, Zhao Hu and Xiao Wu will both come to witness, You can rest assured to live in the old house in the future..."

Lin Guisheng has not been exposed to meat and fish for half a year. Looking at the shallow half bowl of meat on the table, his eyes are glowing green. He was originally a timid person, but he moved forward involuntarily, and slammed his wife behind him. When he got down, he stopped his feet as if awake, and sneered: "You are polite, you are now a master of Juren, how can I sit next to you? There are no rules at all..." He held the heavy shackle on his shoulders in his hands. He wanted to hand it forward, and said cautiously, "I don't know how much the old house is worth, so I'll just collect these for the time being. You can give me an accurate number, and I'll send it to you when I get it in two days. I hope you can Forgive my family for two days..."

"..." Lin Bie was stunned for a moment, feeling that he should have made it clear in the morning, and said with a smile, "I used to eat at Uncle Guisheng's house when I was young. Uncle Guisheng, are you kidding me?"

"How dare I joke with you, Xiucai? I knocked on the doors of seventeen or eighteen houses today, and I really borrowed these. If I hide a piece of copper, I am not a human being. You can tell me exactly how much it is, and I will be sure in two days. I'll make it up for you; or, will you take the old house back?" Lin Guisheng cried and begged, the wrinkles on his face were like the roots of an aged elm tree.

Lin Bie suddenly felt that something was blocking his heart, and his heart also felt extremely heavy. He stood up and took the purse from Lin Guisheng's hand, pressing his hand very hard, almost weighing hundreds of pounds.

In the villages, silver is seldom used, it is all copper. Officials stipulate that one thousand pennies can be exchanged for one tael of silver. In fact, silver is expensive and copper is cheap. One tael of silver can usually be exchanged for one thousand two hundred to one thousand four hundred dollars. There are hundreds of catties of copper coins in this purse, which is only seven or eight taels of silver, but for the Lin Guisheng family, who was originally a broken family in the family, it is a huge wealth. It is hard to imagine how many good things he said on this day. , to borrow the money.

It is said that the three old houses at the end of the village plus the house land are not worth seven or eight taels of silver, but Lin Guisheng stood there cautiously and did not dare to say anything; Give it to them, they even thought that they had offended Lin Fu by occupying the old house at the end of the village, so they let Lin Fu say that.

Lin Fu put the bulging purse on the corner of the table. He knew that if he gave the old house to the Lin Guisheng family for nothing, they might not be able to live in it with peace of mind. He took out the linen rope from the purse. The two hanging copper coins that were strung up came and said to Lin Jingchang: "Xiao Wu, go for a walk, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com to get the pen and paper, please also ask the two elders to come over and testify. I'm willing to pay two Qian Qian transferred the old house at the end of the village to the Lin Guisheng family, and made a death contract, never to destroy it..."

"Okay!" Lin Jingchang stood up and left. Zhao Hu's house didn't have paper, pen, ink, and ink, so he had to go home to fetch it.

"How is this good, how is this good..." Lin Guisheng and his wife saw that Lin Fu had spoken succinctly, and asked Jingchang to ask the elders to testify before they believed it was true. Yes, I wanted Lin Fu to earn all these copper coins, but most of these coins were borrowed, and they may not be able to pay off in ten years. I was so excited and didn't know how to express it in words, so I couldn't make a complete sentence. , with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Hu brought a bowl and poured a bowl of wine for Lin Guisheng. After waiting for a while, Lin Jingchang brought paper, pen, ink, and ink and invited two senior clan elders to testify. The two clan elders heard Lin Jingchang talk about the reason on the road, and as soon as they entered the house When he came, he praised Lin Fu's honesty and integrity, and said to Lin Guisheng and his wife: "That house is a good house, and when he became a scholar, he became a master. Needless to say, two coins are 20 coins, and there are people rushing to buy them. , you have to keep it in your heart..." Lin Fu wrote the deed for the sale of the house and the residential land immediately, and asked the elders of the clan to bear witness, and asked Lin Guisheng and his wife to take away the deed and the extra copper coins.

As soon as this was interrupted, it was almost midnight to send Lin Guisheng and his wife and clan elders away. Zhao Hu's younger sister Meizi took care of the leftovers. Lin Fu wanted to go to bed after Zhao Hu's parents went to the old house. Zhao Hu's mother seemed to have made a big decision. Before leaving, she said, "If you go to Jiangning, Zhao Hu will naturally go to Jiangning with you." That meant that no matter where Lin Fu went, she made up her mind to let her son Zhao Hu followed Lin Fu as a squire. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
