The Rebirth of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chapter 11 Lin Qiong wants to do business with Dai Yuyun

Lin Daiyu always felt worried about living in Qiling Temple, and rushed back to Lin's residence after recovering from illness.After arriving at home, as soon as he entered the inner door, he saw the housekeeper's wife greet him with a face of anxiety, "Girl, why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Lin Daiyu was puzzled, and said with a smile, "It's cold in the mountains, so I came back when I couldn't bear it."

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Miss is tired today, so you don't need to greet the master and wife first."

Lin Daiyu just nodded, and walked to her room, neither saying she knew nor objecting.

After Chunjing finished cleaning up, Lin Daiyu said, "Good sister, my parents don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. Even if I go to the main courtyard now, they will stop me. Please help me to see it. I am really worried. .”

Seeing Lin Daiyu's complexion was not good, Chunjing thought to himself that instead of making her so frightened, it would be better to explain clearly, so he complied.

When Chunjing came back from the main courtyard, he was clutching his chest all the way, his face was pale, Chunyu, Chunliu, and Chunhan hurriedly greeted him at the door of the house, Chunhan said, "Sister, don't call me a girl, you scared even me." , take it easy."

Chun Yu quickly poured hot tea for her to calm her down.

Chunjing drank hot tea to calm herself, and Chunliu patted her cheeks, making them rosy, with a smile similar to usual on her face, and then opened the curtain and walked into Lin Daiyu's room.

Lin Daiyu was practicing calligraphy, and she threw a big character on the table and did not clean it up. She kept frowning and writing, but the handwriting was not good, and even she herself felt impetuous when she read it.Seeing Chunyu approaching now, she quickly went up to meet her and asked, "Sister, how is Mom?"

Chunjing said, "Girl, don't be in a hurry, Madam is fine, she is just treating illnesses."

Lin Daiyu said, "Why do you spend me on medical treatment?"

Chunjing sighed, "Don't blame the master, even the servants who are so bold are panicked after hearing what the little girl said, how can you be so young."

It turned out that the old genius doctor Li said that he could not cure Jia Min's disease, not because he was not good at medical skills, but because he had a good relationship with Lin Hai. This relationship disturbed his mood and made him afraid to do anything serious. medicine.The old genius doctor Li knew it himself, so he recommended a doctor for Lin Hai to treat Jia Min.The doctor was also surnamed Lin, and he was known for his strong and fast-acting medicines. After Jia Min's pulse was passed, the method he gave was acupuncture and moxibustion with medicine fumigation to remove lung poison.

Dr. Lin's medicine is strong, and the needle is also strong. When he gave the needle, the patient's heart hurt so badly that even a strong man of nine feet couldn't stand it, let alone Jia Min, a weak woman; It is to put a wooden barrel on the fire, with a wooden lid on the barrel, so that the patient can be smoked, only one end is exposed to breathe, and finally it will be cooked if it is not suffocated.Just these two, each once a day, the first time it took a whole month to finish the acupuncture and moxibustion medicine.

When Jia Min first got sick, he was weak, and it was not good to use too much medicine, so he started acupuncture and herbal fumigation when he got better.Lin Hai thought that Lin Daiyu was too worried about her mother, afraid that she would not be able to bear the fright when she heard Jia Min's screams, so she asked Mrs. Cui to take her to the temple for shelter.Although Lin Qiong is young, he is a male, Lin Hai expects a lot from him, so he does not avoid him.

After listening to Chunjing's words, Lin Daiyu held back a bag of tears and went to invite Lin Qiong to come.

Lin Qiong didn't ask her to invite her, she rushed over when she heard that Lin Daiyu was offering incense in the temple, her expression was also anxious and worried.

Lin Daiyu sent the girl out and closed the door to talk privately with Lin Qiong.

"I'm not here for a few days, is mother okay?"

Lin Qiong looked at her expression as if she knew it, and hurriedly said, "You don't know, I've been scared to death these days. How can you go out for a few days? It's been several years! I live like a year."

Lin Daiyu took out an amulet from her purse and put it on him personally, saying, "You are too much to bear. Did you do your homework well?"

"Cut," Lin Qiong pretended to be disdainful, "I'm a man, do I seem to be someone who plays truant? If you saw the scene of your mother, maybe a jar of tears a day would merge into a river in the end."

Lin Daiyu played him a torreya, "Dare to make fun of your sister?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

On the day of her return, Lin Daiyu did not go to the main courtyard, and Lin Hai came to the side courtyard to have dinner with Lin Daiyu and Lin Qiong in the evening.

Lin Haidao, "Yu'er, you have always been very thoughtful. You think about everything at a young age. Daddy is just worried about you, alas."

There is a saying that goes, "If you are deeply in love, you will not live long, but if you are extremely wise, you will be hurt." It seems to have been prepared for Lin Daiyu. Although she has both parents, people can only feel pity for her.A person like her has suffered all the good fortune of the world and the envy and hatred of the world, and if she lives a smooth life, it seems that the heavens have been partial.

Seeing Lin Hai's sad and exhausted face, Lin Daiyu comforted her, "It's Yu'er's unfilial piety to make dad worry, it's just mother's condition, how is it?"

Lin Haidao, "Doctor Lin is very skilled in medicine, and your mother is much better. There is only one thing, you are not allowed to go to the main courtyard when your mother is smoked with acupuncture and moxibustion medicine every day." One wife is enough for him to worry about, let alone being weak and sick daughter!

Lin Daiyu was reluctant at first, but in the end she couldn't bear Lin Hai's repeated words, so she nodded.As long as Jia Min's health is fine, she can rest assured.

Lin Hai finally left before saying, "Supervise your brother's homework carefully, he has been too lazy recently."

Lin Qiong, who was unintentionally dismantled: "..." My knee hurts.

After Lin Hai left, Lin Daiyu frowned and asked Lin Qiong, "Didn't you say you are a man?"

Lin Qiong said in horror, "No, ah no, I am, sister, this is not the case, listen to me!"

Lin Daiyu sighed, "Daddy is busy with affairs, and I'm just a girl. It seems that I have to ask Daddy to find a wife for you to take care of me. Otherwise, I will be lazy at a young age. How will I get the number one prize in the future."

Lin Qiong said silently, "I clearly told you that the young master is only twenty, okay..."

"What did you say?"

Lin Qiong wiped her face, "Ah, no, I mean I am three years old this year."

Seeing his funny appearance, Lin Daiyu smiled slightly.

"Sister, let me tell you," Lin Qiong suddenly said mysteriously, "I have recently figured out something."

Lin Daiyu nodded, "Say."

Lin Qiong pulled out a thick wad of crumpled paper from the arrow sleeve and handed it to Lin Daiyu, "Look."

Lin Daiyu took a look at it, and immediately said disgusted, "The words are really ugly."

"Sister, can you read the content first..."

Lin Daiyu flipped through all the papers at a glance, raised her eyebrows, and said, "So, you came up with this 'On How to Earn Money in Ancient Times'? You want to do business?"

Lin Qiong was still deeply affected by the fact that the things he had written after several days and nights were read in minutes without respect for the fruits of his labor. Seeing Lin Daiyu asking, he said, "Yes, the economic foundation determines Superstructure, what do you think, sister?"

Lin Daiyu nodded, "The idea is good. There are some methods I have never heard of before. It must be easy to make money."

Lin Qiong became proud, "Of course, this is my specialty."

"But, daddy won't agree with you to do this," Lin Daiyu said to puncture Lin Qiong's fantasy, "and our family is not short of money." What's more, the sage forbids the government to compete with the people for profit.

Lin Qiong was in a hurry, "Don't, why don't we unite the front first, who thinks there is too little money?"

Lin Daiyu frowned when she heard this, "Brother, are you short of money?"

Lin Qiong stroked her plan silently, "No." He is a child, eats delicious food and does not go out, and is not short of money at all.

"Then why..."

Lin Qiong raised her head abruptly, with an ambitious expression on her face, "Don't all the traversers do this!"

Lin Daiyu was taken aback, "What?"

Lin Qiong said, "Think about it, when I came to the backward ancient times, I saw that the working people at the bottom could not even meet the standard of a well-off life, and they didn't know a single word. How sad! I have come here, and I don't give to the working people. Let us bring a little gospel, is that acceptable?" Does he feel sad about shaving his half-headed head?

Lin Daiyu blinked, "But isn't it the government's business to benefit the common people?"

Next, Lin Daiyu was indiscriminately bombarded by Lin Qiong's argument that "the economic base determines the superstructure", and finally nodded in a daze, agreeing to his opening a shop in Yangzhou.

Lin Qiong was very proud of getting the most powerful backup, he knew that the goddess was not such a superficial person, and would not look down on him for business.

That night, after Lin Qiong went back, Lin Daiyu was still studying with the scribbled "planning book".

The words on this piece of paper are plain and ugly, but the content inside is very interesting. She thinks she has read a lot of books, and she has never seen anything like this. It can be seen that Lin Qiong, a person from later generations, is pure on the surface. There are still two brushes inside, but as he said, he is not good at "liberal arts".

Since Lin Qiong came here, he has been inquiring about the customs and common sense here like different people, and even went out all day to investigate. He is indeed not lazy.

In Yangzhou in the 33rd year of Kangxi, as the name suggests, the most profitable is of course the salt merchants, and the biggest official is Lin Qiong and his father Lin Hai, but selling salt is not allowed, because Lin Hai will break Lin Qiong's legs.

Secondly, imported products, that is, Western goods from overseas are also good for making money, and they are really profitable, but Lin Qiong has no right to speak, so he can't intervene in this matter for the time being.

Again, women and literati are also good at making money.Women in ancient times could only stay at home, and usually had nothing to pass the time except for clothes and jewelry. Literati loved to be arty, and there were times when they spent a lot of money.

Then there is the monopoly of some necessities, such as food, iron ore, medicinal materials, etc. If you control these things in your hands, you will have proper economic control, a lifeline that you didn't even notice on the pilgrimage.If you get this lifeline, it is equivalent to holding the dragon's seven inches, even if you can't kill him, you can still peel off a few dragon scales.

It's not that Lin Qiong wants to do something outrageous, he's just thinking about it with the courage of a dog.

In addition, there are some marketing strategies, all kinds of which are sensational in Lin Daiyu's eyes.
