A new journey of accumulating wealth
Chapter 174 Qingping Years 3 in 1
It was snowing heavily outside, but it was still warm inside.Of course it cannot be compared with Hou Fu, but no one dares to compare with Hou Fu now.Let's just say that compared to the carriage, this is heaven.
The clay stove does not burn good charcoal, it should be charcoal that can be seen everywhere.Perhaps it was because of the need to freshen up in the room, but two charcoal basins were added.
Clothes are also carefully prepared.Lin Yutong looked at the cabinet, and there were two sets of clothes inside and out.All muslin.
Lin Yutong prepared a red cotton jacket and an indigo skirt, and the cotton jacket and trousers inside were black and brown.It fits well, but it doesn't fit very well, and it's a little fat.But it's not wrong to prepare like this without seeing him in person.The shoes are also a little bigger, but there are thick insoles under the cabinet, and two more layers of insoles are suitable.
Fourth master's clothes are a little small, but there are quite a lot of them inside. If you put them away a little, they can still be worn.
I don't care about these anymore, it's good to be able to change into clean clothes.
The room is clean, the beds are well made, there is even warm tea in the teapot on the table, but that's all.Nothing extravagant.This is what a small peasant family with no worries about food and clothing should look like.
There is a dressing box at the head of the kang. In addition to the comb, there is also a mahogany hairpin that can be bought for a few pennies on the street.There are no tricks, and the handwork is very rough.One for men and one for women, nothing more.
Going out from the bedroom is the main hall. There is a square table and two armchairs in the main hall, and there are two rows of seats with high tables, all of which are the most common wood.Brand new with a coat of black paint.
Opposite the bedroom, across the living room, is a study.The furnishings in the study are the same inconspicuous bookshelves as other furniture, but the shelves are empty, as if waiting for the owner to fill them up.
The two of them only looked at the things prepared in the room, and they understood the situation in the future.
Now I don’t know what the relationship is with the old family, but judging from the preparations, it is what they said, there is a place to live, and there is also food, and it will not make you hungry.But for the rest, you have to figure out your own way.
In the main courtyard, this is what the white-haired woman said to Jin Kuang: "Your grandfather once said that our Jin family passed on farming and studying. Your father caught up with the best time and also caught up with the worst time. At first, he didn't want to follow the rebellion, he just wanted to study hard, and he was the emperor's family. Unfortunately, he was full of knowledge but caught up with the troubled times. It was not easy for him to gain a foothold in the troubled times, but he felt a little regretful But you didn't make your father feel sorry for you. You won't be ashamed to say this because you won the top two rankings and can be an emperor's teacher. I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I thought about it, and the reasoning with the housekeeper is the same. Sometimes, it's not that you don't do well, it's just the times. Your father always said that the times made him. Now, it's just our bad luck. It's not surprising. There are ups and downs in a person's life. , let alone a family that you have done very well and tried your best to do your best. Even if the situation is not good, you can bring the whole family back to your hometown safely, which is not easy. But after you, what about your children and grandchildren?"
It was wrong for Jin Kuang to support the old lady, this name will have to be changed in the future.In the mansion, Mrs. Xu is called the old lady. Now, the mother is still there, so how dare the younger generation call her old lady?
Before he could start speaking, Jin Kuang called the butler who was guarding outside and gave some instructions.
Then the fourth master and Lin Yutong said they wanted to go out to see how the children were doing, and the butler came, "Master has an order. From now on, the master will be the second master. But for the wives, they have to be called grandma.”
what a mess
Lin Yutong stroked it once and probably understood it all, that is, he was downgraded.
It's not just a title, it's a small thing.But behind this appellation
The butler didn't explain, "Second master sent a message, and after half an hour, we will gather in the ancestral hall." Then he fled away.
Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master, and the fourth master shook his head. He didn't know about the last generation or even the last two generations of the Jin family.
Okay, if you don't know, you don't know, go and see a few children first.Out of the main room, the wind blows.Lin Yutong went to the corner room on the west side, where sister Xuan lived.Now the child came out of the bath by himself, and leaned on the stove to dry his hair.His eyes lit up as soon as he saw Lin Yutong, and he jumped up immediately, followed by a hissing sound and a burning smell.I got up in a hurry, and my hair was thrown on the fire.Lin Yutong hurriedly wrapped up her pockets, found the small scissors in the dustpan on the kang table, and cut off the scorched one, "Sit quietly and don't be frizzy." She put the scissors back, but her heart Sigh, I don't know who prepared these, the study room is empty, but the women's family's needlework female red guy is complete.
Sister Xuan twitched in distress, her eyes were red, "I thought my mother was sick too."
"No..." Lin Yutong helped tidy up her hair, shaking it non-stop, trying to make it faster.Feeling that it was almost done, she braided her hair and tied it with the red silk in the dustpan.
When did Sister Xuan dress up like this? Now she is wearing a red jacket and silver trousers. The jacket is longer and can cover the buttocks, and it is almost at the knee level.But before there were no skirts, the little girls in the house didn't wear skirts.
This is how people can wear it to go out.
Lin Yutong opened the cabinet to check, there was really nothing there.She looked back, in fact, the little girl was so neatly dressed.But the habit formed by the child is not so easy to change, she can only say "dress like this for now, I will make another for you later." This child is probably one who can't go out without wearing a skirt, like Lin Yutong. The mentality of refusing to go out is the same, so she said with some understanding, "Why don't you wear my pair first?" There are two of them in the money, and that one is black and gray.
The color is a bit old fashioned.
Sister Xuan looked at what her mother was wearing, then pouted, "It's too ugly, look at sister-in-law's place."
The smile on Lin Yutong's face stopped a little, "You have a mother to act like a baby, and your sister-in-law is pregnant, but someone will greet you if you lack anything, and you can ask your parents for it. She is a newlywed mother alone, you can understand her difficulties."
Sister-in-law wants to take sister-in-law's things when she opens her mouth, this kind of problem can't be used to.
She put down the comb, turned around and went to the main room to pick up the skirt, and when she came back, she saw that Sister Xuan was still sitting there without moving, her eyes were reddened.Lin Yutong still ignored her, let go of her skirt and went out. 12 years old, not too old, not too small.The journey was so difficult, and now that she was dressed warmly, she began to pick and choose again to let her know that she was no longer the eldest lady, and she could no longer treat herself as the eldest lady's support, or she would suffer a lot in the future.
Coming out from here, she went to Qi Ge'er's room again.He lives in the east corner room, and fourth master is helping this kid get dressed right now.Just out of the wash, the legs can't fit into the pants.As soon as Lin Yutong came in, the kid was so scared that he pulled the quilt and covered him.Lin Yutong touched the thickness of the quilt, then turned and went out, saving him from being shy.
She was not in a hurry to go to the East Wing, but went to the West Wing first. Brother Shen lived in the West Wing. Lin Yutong knocked on the door outside, and then the door opened.Brother Shen had already packed up and waited in the room. When he saw Lin Yutong coming in, he called out mum, and then pulled Lin Yutong to sit by the stove, in case she was cold.
Lin Yutong said, "This room is reserved for you. I thought, you move to live with Brother Qi. Your father and I can take care of you. Otherwise, we don't feel at ease if you live in the West Wing alone."
This West Wing will be used by a wife in the future.
Brother Shen has no objection. In the past, brothers at home couldn’t live together if they wanted to. Everyone had a house full of maids, women, and servants. The master lived together. What should these servants do?
It's all about
He lowered his head and laughed, "Mother's small family is better than a small family's." He looked nervous, but his words were serious.
Lin Yutong froze for a moment, the child probably wanted to comfort himself.Such a caring and honest child, she smiled and said, "It's the same wherever you are with mother."
Brother Shen hurriedly said, "My eldest sister will be fine. If mother is worried, after the settlement is settled, I will take someone back secretly to see my eldest sister."
I mean Miss Joan.
determined
Lin Yutong said to him in detail, "Your father has an irresistible relationship with the second son of King Shun. Since he came after us after we left the city, he will naturally take care of your sister. Don't worry too much."
Brother Shen pursed his lips and smiled, as if he had let go of something on his mind.
While talking, Brother Kun pushed open the door and came in. He was stunned when he saw Lin Yutong, "Mother, I just said to see the third brother, you are all right."
"Okay." Lin Yutong was inconvenient to go to his daughter-in-law, so he just asked, "Where is your daughter-in-law? Are you ready?"
"Okay, I was going to the main room." As he said that, he went to the stove to warm his hands, "I have arranged for the concierge of our courtyard. There are a lot of things left, the bedding and so on are new, and the stove Those with charcoal fires are all given to him. The kang is also on fire in the house, just put it on the bed. In addition, the eldest aunt sent two nuns to our yard, and I asked them to live in the inverted room. The fire. They used to be rough envoys, but now, I ask one to only heat the hot water, and the other to clean the yard."
That's it for now.
Wait until the outside reports that he is going to the ancestral hall.The whole family came out of the house and went to the ancestral hall.
Sister Xuan came over and pulled Lin Yutong's arm timidly.Lin Yutong saw that the girl didn't ask Bai's name, and she didn't wear the one she sent, so she just wore it as she prepared, and didn't say anything.He held her hand and covered it, and followed fourth master forward.
There are three rooms in front.Seeing someone coming from behind, Sanfang stopped and waited.
"Fourth brother" Jin Shutong greeted him, and when the fourth master came to him, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Who knows
Sun also asked Lin Yutong in a low voice, "There are elders above, but are they so close to us?"
There really are.
When he saw Jin Kuang kneeling down first, he called the old woman who was sitting high and called "Mother".Including Xu who came over early in the morning.
Jin Kuang looked at Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu knelt down slowly under Wen's hint, "I have seen my mother-in-law."
Then Jin Kuang said the identity of the old woman Wang, 66 years old this year, the original wife of Marquis Wending.
This is more than related, in terms of etiquette, this is the elder of the direct relative.
Mrs. Wang looked at her children and grandchildren who were kneeling on the ground, and smiled, "Get up. Get up and let me have a look."
Just like what Jin Kuang said just now, among these grandchildren, the second child died long ago, which is a pity.Now there are three brothers left, the eldest is not in good health, the third is too honest, only the fourth can be used.Jin Kuang said this, but the old lady didn't think so.
The boss is not in good health, but it doesn't mean that he is just a useless person.She felt that it was a pity that with such an appearance, she should be kept in a deep boudoir like a woman.Such an appearance of a banished immortal is also said to be well-educated, but he is only tired by his body.Then what kind of seedling is this? This is the seedling of an expert in the world. In this world, there is such a person who loves to pursue this and that. With such a ready-made treasure at home, how can he be called a useless person? And, There are still successors to this living treasure, and Rui Ge'er is even worse than his father.
Therefore, after the old lady looked at the father and son carefully, she said to Jin Kuang, "The Zangshu Pavilion in the back, all the miscellaneous subjects of Buddhism, Taoism, and hundreds of schools have been moved to the boss's house. I have to take a look at it and cultivate my self-cultivation."
Jin Kuang's eyes flickered, and he nodded, "I listen to you."
When she came to Wenshi, the old lady frowned slightly, and then said, "This child moved to live in the Kuayuan in my yard, and I will be the old lady's company." Then she looked at the little girl beside Wenshi, but didn't speak.
Wen didn't know what the old lady meant, but a widow living with the old grandmother, being filial, was what it should mean.She quickly agreed.
When she came to Sanfang, the old lady said to herself, this bastard is honest, but being honest has its benefits.In the future, this general affairs must be taken care of by someone.An honest person is timid, and this kind of person is a little selfish. Even a little bit of corruption is like plucking hair from a cow. If you dare to move a little, you dare not cause a catastrophe.Someone has to take care of this matter, and the third child is very suitable.
It's just that when it was Lange'er's turn, the old lady frowned and said something too spoiled.
Mrs. Sun took her son and couldn't help taking a step back. She felt that this old lady was very scary.
Aunt Wu was almost pissed off by Sun's behavior, can't you see the master's attitude towards the old lady? You knew something was going to happen, no one said in advance, but sent your cronies to bring the news to the old lady.How much trust do you have when an elder tells you that you are just like that?
The old lady didn't seem to care, she looked at Sister Lin's face twice more, and then sighed, "You child, why are you getting into the horns? You should be lucky, something happened over there before you got married. I understand what you are thinking, but from now on, you have to eat vegetarian food for three months and read scriptures in the house for three months. Just do your best. There is still a long way to go in this life. If I were like you back then, how would I be where I am today?"
Sister Lin's eyes were red, she was blessed, but she didn't cry.
When they arrived at Sifang, the old lady only glanced at Siye and Lin Yutong, and then nodded. It is impossible for any family to really put aside the world affairs, even if it is a mountain residence, it must know the outside affairs.As for the outside affairs, Sifang still has to take care of them.
I have made arrangements for the grandchildren in my heart, but I don't have much to say about the great-grandchildren. It is nothing more than boys and grandchildren going to school, and daughters and grandchildren should learn to be a housekeeper besides studying.
As soon as the old lady sat back, she made a rule, "The big house is not here now, and went to Haiyanzi. For funerals, it's okay not to go. They will come back in a few days, and they will meet again. Now that they are back, they will follow the rules of the family. According to the rules of the family, the second household should be the same as the first household. The ancestral motto of the Jin family is to pass on farming and reading. Farming is to support the family, and reading is to benefit the people. But I understand it all.”
Understood
Everyone said that, but even Lin Yutong and Fourth Master didn't know what the rules of this big house were.
No one asked, and ate the first meal back home in silence.Men and women sit separately, but eat the same food.
Lin Yutong looked at the dishes on the table, a dish of fried cabbage in vegetable oil, a dish of stewed radish with minced meat, a dish of cold rice noodle, and a dish of dried eggplant with mashed garlic.A dustpan of Zamian steamed buns and a bowl of sorghum rice porridge.
It can be seen that this is a good meal for entertaining guests.Lin Yutong paid attention to the old lady, and saw that she only drank porridge and did not take steamed buns.Even for vegetables, he only eats steamed soft and rotten dried eggplants, and doesn't touch anything else.Then I knew that this old lady was used to being poor and self-sufficient.She was afraid that she would not have the habit of eating dry rice at night.
After dinner, the old lady didn't leave anyone behind, "Go back and rest early. I don't have a rule of saying hello here, especially when it's cold, so don't come here if you don't have anything to do."
Sounds like a way to keep people away.
Exit from the inside, and followed Jin Kuang back to the east courtyard.
Only now did Lin Yutong have a general impression of the mansion.The first entrance on the central axis is where guests are received.The second entrance is the ancestral hall.The third entrance is the courtyard where the old lady lives.The third one enters the back, it should be the garden or vegetable garden in the house.
From entering the outer courtyard, it is divided into east and west corridors, leading to the east and west courtyards.The first room has always lived in the east courtyard, so the west courtyard has always been vacant for the second room.
I haven't been in the east courtyard before, but knowing the layout of the west courtyard, I understand that the east courtyard is almost like this.Today's architectural style has never seen asymmetry.
Entering the first courtyard of the east courtyard, Jin Kuang and Xu lived there.
At this moment, the two of them entered the yard, followed by the children and grandchildren behind, and all went in.
Only her own people were left, so Xu hurriedly said, "Master and concubine have been married to the mansion for more than [-] years, and I don't know that my mother-in-law is still there."
How could such an important matter be kept secret?
Jin Kuang waved his hand, "Don't ask about this matter. Just remember that you need to be devoted to serving your mother. You don't need to worry about other things, just pay more attention to your mother, that's all."
Xu can die of aggrieved.She is about to have a great-grandson, and she suddenly has to be a daughter-in-law.
But in front of the juniors, she didn't say anything and just sat aside and got angry.
Jin Kuang only talked about himself, and he was talking to his sons and daughters-in-law, "I heard what your grandmother said clearly just now, and you will follow the rules of your hometown in the future. In the future, the family will divide according to the population of each house. Rations. The rations are given once a month, and the stewards will send them to all parties to give you what to eat. There is no other supply. If you want to eat well, you can earn it yourself. If you can’t earn it, your family won’t watch you starve to death. In addition , a monthly allowance of two hundred big money per person"
This is definitely not enough.This is not enough to reward a servant once.
Jin Kuang didn't look at the expressions of his children and grandchildren, "I've come along this way, have you seen enough? You can live warmly and eat comfortably. This is a good life. How many people can't wait to get the food provided by the family, so they don't call anyone Hungry. Therefore, don’t complain about others. From now on, the heads of each house will open fire on the second family.”
"Daughter-in-law follows grandma." Wen stood up and replied, but looked at the niece behind him, "Daughter-in-law is a person from Shuangju who serves grandma, and follows grandma to eat fast and chant Buddha. Daughter-in-law is very happy. But girl Shu is different, she is just at a good age The daughter-in-law was wondering if she could" she said, and looked at Lin Yutong, "even if you encounter a catastrophe, you will survive it, so it's time to hold a happy event, to flush out bad luck."
Marriage was arranged early, and getting married was a matter of course.
But Lin Yutong murmured to Wen's aunt and nephew because of the incident on the road.Furthermore, fourth master held her hand, although he didn't know the reason.
Before she could speak, the fourth master said, "Second sister-in-law is too anxious. Our sudden arrival has caused a lot of trouble for the family for no reason. Here, women's marriage is not a matter of one or two words. If you don't waste money, it will be It's a big expense. It's not too late to discuss this matter after the new year. If the second sister-in-law thinks it's inconvenient for the child to follow you, then she can raise it with the mother first. Once you leave, the mother's side will not be cold. Sister Lin If you want to eat vegetarian food, sister Xuan is too naughty."
This makes people don't know how to answer it.
But Xu Shi felt that what his son said was right. He didn't even recognize the door when he came here, so he had to hold a wedding.Who cares about Wanxi in the front.According to that mother-in-law's behavior, it's hard to say whether the three dishes and one soup can even be put together for this happy event.
Xiao Xu also said, "The second sibling is too anxious. The two children are still young, and it will not be too late in another year or so."
The two juniors were so ashamed that they wished they could crawl under the ground.
But Xiao Xu's calculation is that the family only provides food and two hundred dollars a month, what will be done with the soup and medicine money of her husband and son? dilly-dally.
While talking, the housekeeper outside reported that the old lady had sent someone to deliver food.
That's fine, let's go.
Lin Yutong and fourth master didn't care about it, and asked Brother Kun to take care of it.They only took a few children back to the main house.The charcoal in the house is not as prosperous as before, and there is only a basket of charcoal outside. If several houses are lit with charcoal pots tonight, they will not be able to resist buying charcoal tomorrow.
Bai Shi said first, "I'll squeeze with my sister tonight, and ask their brothers to squeeze in three."
This charcoal is barely enough.
As soon as the words fell, the woman in charge of boiling water came to report, "The firewood in the kitchen is only enough for tomorrow morning. It has to be used sparingly."
Come on, this is blocking all the back roads.
This old lady is a cruel person.There is no time for the younger generation to feel sorry for themselves, and it will push you into a corner as soon as it comes up.Look at what you can do. If you want to keep your fingers free from the spring water like before, then you have to eat a few meals, go hungry, and wear rags.
Lin Yutong said she knew, and told her to use it first, "I'll go out and buy some tomorrow."
I still have some money in my hands.
But when it is forced to this point, each house has no money in hand.Only here are the rituals sent by King Shun.This money can be safely kept so that everyone else will suffer from cold and starvation
Certainly not.This will have to be taken out sooner or later, there is no separation.Instead of asking others to bring it up, it's better to take it out first. Anyway, Lin Yutong not only has the money found in the servant's room in the mansion that night, but also the box that was hidden by the original owner at that time.The box was full of gold ingots.It was the box silver in her dowry.
Wait for Brother Kun to put away the food, and come back to report one by one: "[-] catties of millet noodles, [-] catties of wheat noodles, [-] catties of soybeans, [-] catties of soybeans, [-] catties of red beans, and [-] catties of mung beans."
Messy things, and some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, anyway, just to keep you from being hungry for a while.
No one listened carefully, and when he finished speaking, Fourth Master took out the bank note, "Send it to your grandfather, and say it belongs to the public."
Brother Kun's hand paused, and finally took it, "My son will come back as soon as he goes."
Sure enough, after a cup of tea, he came back again and took five taels of silver, "Grandpa said that there is no room for five taels of settling expenses, and this is ours."
Lin Yutong confiscated it, "Give it to your daughter-in-law. Your father and I still have it. But you and your wife don't have any silver in your hands. Even if your daughter-in-law wants to eat snacks, she can't touch the money from her body. "In addition to these five taels, Lin Yutong went into the bedroom again, and gave the scattered ones, which looked like two or thirty taels, to Bai's." Minger asked Brother Kun to go to the village and ask, who has frozen persimmons and frozen pears? Touch it." When he came out of the ancestral hall earlier, he saw Bai staring at a half-eaten radish that was hastily hidden in a girl's hand, and there was still a little pity in his eyes.I was afraid that I wanted to eat fruit, so I didn't dare to open my mouth, and I knew that there was no one for her to eat.
Bai Shi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and she seemed to have made a big mistake when she got up. Now it is difficult to eat, but she is not happy.
Lin Yutong forced it and stuffed it, "Okay, put it away and go to rest quickly. Let's talk about tomorrow."
Only then did the children get sent away.The Bai family lives with sister Xuan, and the three elder brothers live there.Even in the place where he was born, there is nothing to worry about for the time being.
After lying down, Lin Yutong looked at fourth master's injuries first, then applied another layer of medicine, and told him to lie on his stomach to dry, so that the two of them had time to talk alone.
Lin Yutong first asked the fourth master, "How will I live in the future?"
Being an official is nothing to do with being an official.If I remember correctly, imperial examinations were not allowed for three generations.That is to say, from Jin Kuang's generation to Kun'er's generation, they were not allowed to take the imperial examination.If you want to go this way, you must either recover from Jin Kuang, or wait until the generation of the child in Bai's womb.Anyway, for the time being, this path will not work.
or rebellion
What rebellion? Marquis Wending passed it on to Jin Kuang, only the second generation.How long has it been since the world has been peaceful? If it is really a troubled time, then there is nothing wrong with following the trend.But the world is peaceful, what is chaotic is the court, not the world.Can the flames of war be reignited for this? Fourth master and Lin Yutong have no addiction to being emperors. After knowing the general background, they never thought about that direction at all.Don't use the chaotic court as an excuse. In fact, when the court is not chaotic, it can be called the court.In that dynasty, it was not new for there to be such and such incidents between the monarch and his ministers.The affairs of the court are handled by the rules of the court.But whoever dares to make life miserable will be the first to finish the game.
Therefore, this path was directly killed.
Either wait for the opportunity to see if Jin Kuang will be recovered.Either it is to live in poverty and live in peace, and to be a little rich is to be safe.
Come on, if fourth master wants to, he should be able to do it.And it won't be too difficult.But Jin Kuang, what did he think? The fourth master is not the main cause, but Jin Kuang is.So, you have all the skills and ideas in your stomach, but you can't hold back other people's ideas.
The fourth master said, "We have to be prepared to get rich soon."
But a little rich is safe, what can be done to achieve a little rich?
The old lady of the Wang family said in the ancestral hall that she couldn't do business, and the Jin family passed on farming and studying.
Farming and reading heirlooms means that you can't get involved with merchants.At this age, the old lady is obviously not a person who can do nothing, but she still sticks to poverty, and she doesn't even greedy for food and drink. You said, can such a person allow younger generations to be merchants?
From ancient times to the present, occupations are nothing more than scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.
The official career may not go well, and merchants cannot be contaminated.Only farmers and workers are left.
Farming is of course also possible, but the problem is that he obviously has no land.Because every time the family is divided, Jin Kuang will not give it to the family, so don't think about the land that belongs to you.Some are [-] mu of land used as a sacrifice field.
What's more, Gonggong doesn't talk about his social status, it's his current status. If you make something and then pass it on to the court, the loss outweighs the gain.All that needs to be done now is to hibernate. It is best for people to forget that there is still the Jin family.If there is another storm, I and Tongtong can run away, but what about the old and the young?
Don't forget, the caravan was blocked on the road because of a murder case.I don't know if it's resolved now.
Furthermore, fourth master faintly felt that the matter might be a little deeper.The death of the second child of the Jin family was very strange, and this time he was repeatedly plotted against on the road, but Jin Kuang acted as if nothing had happened. Doesn’t this explain the problem?
Apparently, this old guy would rather suppress all those unwillingnesses than live in his hometown.
There must be some reason why others don't know about it and it's inconvenient to tell others.
Even if he shrinks, fourth master will not bump up.
Therefore, it is best not to get involved easily.
After such a calculation, there is no way to make a living.
Lin Yutong was discouraged, "I've really fallen to the point where I can't support my family."
nonsense can i make you hungry
The fourth master rested his head on his arm, and there was a bit of yearning in his eyes, "The location of this village is well chosen, surrounded by mountains, and only one side is connected to the outside, and I'm afraid of starving to death by relying on the mountains."
Bragging is like how clever your means are.
The fourth master laughed, "Go east for a day, and you will find Haiyanzi. If not, I'll take you fishing."
Talking more and more, right?
I'm telling you the truth.
Just like whoever said it wasn't serious.Fourth Master pulled her to sleep, "Sleep and sleep, I know what to do. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the mountains to open up wasteland."
Whoever opens it belongs to him.Not even the country, let alone the family.
Lin Yutong believed his lies
Being disturbed three times and two times by him, I was really a little confused.I was about to fall asleep, and then I remembered to ask, "Wen's family can't pick up the bride?"
"That kid is not happy." Fourth Master said.
not happy
Thinking about it again, the drowsiness is really unstoppable.The sound of the howling wind outside made people feel chills in their hearts, and the room was not that warm.My arms are still cold when I put them outside. Lying under the blanket, I feel my nose is cold.You can only drill in, and then drill in.
In the second half of the night, the bed was obviously not that warm, so the fire under the kang must have been extinguished.
Lin Yutong crawled into fourth master's arms, feeling that his body was extremely warm.On the other side, Da Fang coughed continuously throughout the night.Burning charcoal, I feel a little choking and cough.Don't burn it, it's so cold.The cold made the cough worse.
If two men can't rest, naturally two women can't rest.Before dawn the next day, the door was slammed. It was the nanny on the other side of the big room. Lin Yutong hadn't gotten up yet, so she asked her to stand under the window and answer, "What's wrong this early in the morning?" "
The nanny hurriedly said, "Our wife told me to go back to the Fourth Wife, and said that she was asking the Fourth Wife to tell the Fourth Master that there was something wrong with the Uncle. He coughed all night last night, and today he can't even cough out a sound. Rui brother too"
This is to ask fourth master to find a way to invite a doctor.
Lin Yutong already has antitussive medicine in his hand, and now he entrusts it to Li Cheng, "The snow has blocked the mountain, and we can't go out. There is a bottle here, which was given to our master by the second son of Shun Wangfu. I have invited a good medicine prescribed by a good doctor, take it first and have a look. It’s not a short-term thing to invite people, it’s only here. If you take it, it’s good. We have a prescription, and we will ask someone to give it later. If it's not good, come here again, and you'll have washed up by then." As he spoke, he opened the window a crack and plugged it in.
Little Xu didn't believe it, it turns out that no matter where the doctor is in the Hou's mansion, there are no doctors who cannot be invited.What Li Cheng can find, there is nothing he can't find at home.But it's going to be a while, and you can't pick and choose, let's drink it first.
After drinking a cup of tea, I didn't hear the uneven panting sound in my chest.After another cup of tea, I heard the father and son snoring lightly.
Fell asleep
Amitabha
It is much better to be able to fall asleep.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly sent her nanny, "Go and ask for the prescription, go to the fourth wife and ask for the prescription."
Mrs. Yao stopped her immediately, "Mother, don't worry. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to ask for a prescription. If you want a prescription, don't you have to ask your fourth uncle to do it? Third uncle, You can't rest assured. You asked for the prescription, but you still have to give it to someone else. Why should we do it? Just say that the medicine is very useful after taking it. I just entrust the whole thing to fourth uncle."
As soon as Xiao Xu thought about it, it was the same.Besides, there is an expense of money in it.Li Cheng had asked for this medicine before, and it took a lot of money, and he really couldn't afford the money for the medicine now.
Thinking about it this way, it would be convenient to ask Sifang to do it.Anyway, my family is on the fourth uncle's side of the couple's family, if there is someone who doesn't get along, it's better to go to the master to get it, than to come forward as my own daughter-in-law
The clay stove does not burn good charcoal, it should be charcoal that can be seen everywhere.Perhaps it was because of the need to freshen up in the room, but two charcoal basins were added.
Clothes are also carefully prepared.Lin Yutong looked at the cabinet, and there were two sets of clothes inside and out.All muslin.
Lin Yutong prepared a red cotton jacket and an indigo skirt, and the cotton jacket and trousers inside were black and brown.It fits well, but it doesn't fit very well, and it's a little fat.But it's not wrong to prepare like this without seeing him in person.The shoes are also a little bigger, but there are thick insoles under the cabinet, and two more layers of insoles are suitable.
Fourth master's clothes are a little small, but there are quite a lot of them inside. If you put them away a little, they can still be worn.
I don't care about these anymore, it's good to be able to change into clean clothes.
The room is clean, the beds are well made, there is even warm tea in the teapot on the table, but that's all.Nothing extravagant.This is what a small peasant family with no worries about food and clothing should look like.
There is a dressing box at the head of the kang. In addition to the comb, there is also a mahogany hairpin that can be bought for a few pennies on the street.There are no tricks, and the handwork is very rough.One for men and one for women, nothing more.
Going out from the bedroom is the main hall. There is a square table and two armchairs in the main hall, and there are two rows of seats with high tables, all of which are the most common wood.Brand new with a coat of black paint.
Opposite the bedroom, across the living room, is a study.The furnishings in the study are the same inconspicuous bookshelves as other furniture, but the shelves are empty, as if waiting for the owner to fill them up.
The two of them only looked at the things prepared in the room, and they understood the situation in the future.
Now I don’t know what the relationship is with the old family, but judging from the preparations, it is what they said, there is a place to live, and there is also food, and it will not make you hungry.But for the rest, you have to figure out your own way.
In the main courtyard, this is what the white-haired woman said to Jin Kuang: "Your grandfather once said that our Jin family passed on farming and studying. Your father caught up with the best time and also caught up with the worst time. At first, he didn't want to follow the rebellion, he just wanted to study hard, and he was the emperor's family. Unfortunately, he was full of knowledge but caught up with the troubled times. It was not easy for him to gain a foothold in the troubled times, but he felt a little regretful But you didn't make your father feel sorry for you. You won't be ashamed to say this because you won the top two rankings and can be an emperor's teacher. I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I thought about it, and the reasoning with the housekeeper is the same. Sometimes, it's not that you don't do well, it's just the times. Your father always said that the times made him. Now, it's just our bad luck. It's not surprising. There are ups and downs in a person's life. , let alone a family that you have done very well and tried your best to do your best. Even if the situation is not good, you can bring the whole family back to your hometown safely, which is not easy. But after you, what about your children and grandchildren?"
It was wrong for Jin Kuang to support the old lady, this name will have to be changed in the future.In the mansion, Mrs. Xu is called the old lady. Now, the mother is still there, so how dare the younger generation call her old lady?
Before he could start speaking, Jin Kuang called the butler who was guarding outside and gave some instructions.
Then the fourth master and Lin Yutong said they wanted to go out to see how the children were doing, and the butler came, "Master has an order. From now on, the master will be the second master. But for the wives, they have to be called grandma.”
what a mess
Lin Yutong stroked it once and probably understood it all, that is, he was downgraded.
It's not just a title, it's a small thing.But behind this appellation
The butler didn't explain, "Second master sent a message, and after half an hour, we will gather in the ancestral hall." Then he fled away.
Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master, and the fourth master shook his head. He didn't know about the last generation or even the last two generations of the Jin family.
Okay, if you don't know, you don't know, go and see a few children first.Out of the main room, the wind blows.Lin Yutong went to the corner room on the west side, where sister Xuan lived.Now the child came out of the bath by himself, and leaned on the stove to dry his hair.His eyes lit up as soon as he saw Lin Yutong, and he jumped up immediately, followed by a hissing sound and a burning smell.I got up in a hurry, and my hair was thrown on the fire.Lin Yutong hurriedly wrapped up her pockets, found the small scissors in the dustpan on the kang table, and cut off the scorched one, "Sit quietly and don't be frizzy." She put the scissors back, but her heart Sigh, I don't know who prepared these, the study room is empty, but the women's family's needlework female red guy is complete.
Sister Xuan twitched in distress, her eyes were red, "I thought my mother was sick too."
"No..." Lin Yutong helped tidy up her hair, shaking it non-stop, trying to make it faster.Feeling that it was almost done, she braided her hair and tied it with the red silk in the dustpan.
When did Sister Xuan dress up like this? Now she is wearing a red jacket and silver trousers. The jacket is longer and can cover the buttocks, and it is almost at the knee level.But before there were no skirts, the little girls in the house didn't wear skirts.
This is how people can wear it to go out.
Lin Yutong opened the cabinet to check, there was really nothing there.She looked back, in fact, the little girl was so neatly dressed.But the habit formed by the child is not so easy to change, she can only say "dress like this for now, I will make another for you later." This child is probably one who can't go out without wearing a skirt, like Lin Yutong. The mentality of refusing to go out is the same, so she said with some understanding, "Why don't you wear my pair first?" There are two of them in the money, and that one is black and gray.
The color is a bit old fashioned.
Sister Xuan looked at what her mother was wearing, then pouted, "It's too ugly, look at sister-in-law's place."
The smile on Lin Yutong's face stopped a little, "You have a mother to act like a baby, and your sister-in-law is pregnant, but someone will greet you if you lack anything, and you can ask your parents for it. She is a newlywed mother alone, you can understand her difficulties."
Sister-in-law wants to take sister-in-law's things when she opens her mouth, this kind of problem can't be used to.
She put down the comb, turned around and went to the main room to pick up the skirt, and when she came back, she saw that Sister Xuan was still sitting there without moving, her eyes were reddened.Lin Yutong still ignored her, let go of her skirt and went out. 12 years old, not too old, not too small.The journey was so difficult, and now that she was dressed warmly, she began to pick and choose again to let her know that she was no longer the eldest lady, and she could no longer treat herself as the eldest lady's support, or she would suffer a lot in the future.
Coming out from here, she went to Qi Ge'er's room again.He lives in the east corner room, and fourth master is helping this kid get dressed right now.Just out of the wash, the legs can't fit into the pants.As soon as Lin Yutong came in, the kid was so scared that he pulled the quilt and covered him.Lin Yutong touched the thickness of the quilt, then turned and went out, saving him from being shy.
She was not in a hurry to go to the East Wing, but went to the West Wing first. Brother Shen lived in the West Wing. Lin Yutong knocked on the door outside, and then the door opened.Brother Shen had already packed up and waited in the room. When he saw Lin Yutong coming in, he called out mum, and then pulled Lin Yutong to sit by the stove, in case she was cold.
Lin Yutong said, "This room is reserved for you. I thought, you move to live with Brother Qi. Your father and I can take care of you. Otherwise, we don't feel at ease if you live in the West Wing alone."
This West Wing will be used by a wife in the future.
Brother Shen has no objection. In the past, brothers at home couldn’t live together if they wanted to. Everyone had a house full of maids, women, and servants. The master lived together. What should these servants do?
It's all about
He lowered his head and laughed, "Mother's small family is better than a small family's." He looked nervous, but his words were serious.
Lin Yutong froze for a moment, the child probably wanted to comfort himself.Such a caring and honest child, she smiled and said, "It's the same wherever you are with mother."
Brother Shen hurriedly said, "My eldest sister will be fine. If mother is worried, after the settlement is settled, I will take someone back secretly to see my eldest sister."
I mean Miss Joan.
determined
Lin Yutong said to him in detail, "Your father has an irresistible relationship with the second son of King Shun. Since he came after us after we left the city, he will naturally take care of your sister. Don't worry too much."
Brother Shen pursed his lips and smiled, as if he had let go of something on his mind.
While talking, Brother Kun pushed open the door and came in. He was stunned when he saw Lin Yutong, "Mother, I just said to see the third brother, you are all right."
"Okay." Lin Yutong was inconvenient to go to his daughter-in-law, so he just asked, "Where is your daughter-in-law? Are you ready?"
"Okay, I was going to the main room." As he said that, he went to the stove to warm his hands, "I have arranged for the concierge of our courtyard. There are a lot of things left, the bedding and so on are new, and the stove Those with charcoal fires are all given to him. The kang is also on fire in the house, just put it on the bed. In addition, the eldest aunt sent two nuns to our yard, and I asked them to live in the inverted room. The fire. They used to be rough envoys, but now, I ask one to only heat the hot water, and the other to clean the yard."
That's it for now.
Wait until the outside reports that he is going to the ancestral hall.The whole family came out of the house and went to the ancestral hall.
Sister Xuan came over and pulled Lin Yutong's arm timidly.Lin Yutong saw that the girl didn't ask Bai's name, and she didn't wear the one she sent, so she just wore it as she prepared, and didn't say anything.He held her hand and covered it, and followed fourth master forward.
There are three rooms in front.Seeing someone coming from behind, Sanfang stopped and waited.
"Fourth brother" Jin Shutong greeted him, and when the fourth master came to him, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Who knows
Sun also asked Lin Yutong in a low voice, "There are elders above, but are they so close to us?"
There really are.
When he saw Jin Kuang kneeling down first, he called the old woman who was sitting high and called "Mother".Including Xu who came over early in the morning.
Jin Kuang looked at Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu knelt down slowly under Wen's hint, "I have seen my mother-in-law."
Then Jin Kuang said the identity of the old woman Wang, 66 years old this year, the original wife of Marquis Wending.
This is more than related, in terms of etiquette, this is the elder of the direct relative.
Mrs. Wang looked at her children and grandchildren who were kneeling on the ground, and smiled, "Get up. Get up and let me have a look."
Just like what Jin Kuang said just now, among these grandchildren, the second child died long ago, which is a pity.Now there are three brothers left, the eldest is not in good health, the third is too honest, only the fourth can be used.Jin Kuang said this, but the old lady didn't think so.
The boss is not in good health, but it doesn't mean that he is just a useless person.She felt that it was a pity that with such an appearance, she should be kept in a deep boudoir like a woman.Such an appearance of a banished immortal is also said to be well-educated, but he is only tired by his body.Then what kind of seedling is this? This is the seedling of an expert in the world. In this world, there is such a person who loves to pursue this and that. With such a ready-made treasure at home, how can he be called a useless person? And, There are still successors to this living treasure, and Rui Ge'er is even worse than his father.
Therefore, after the old lady looked at the father and son carefully, she said to Jin Kuang, "The Zangshu Pavilion in the back, all the miscellaneous subjects of Buddhism, Taoism, and hundreds of schools have been moved to the boss's house. I have to take a look at it and cultivate my self-cultivation."
Jin Kuang's eyes flickered, and he nodded, "I listen to you."
When she came to Wenshi, the old lady frowned slightly, and then said, "This child moved to live in the Kuayuan in my yard, and I will be the old lady's company." Then she looked at the little girl beside Wenshi, but didn't speak.
Wen didn't know what the old lady meant, but a widow living with the old grandmother, being filial, was what it should mean.She quickly agreed.
When she came to Sanfang, the old lady said to herself, this bastard is honest, but being honest has its benefits.In the future, this general affairs must be taken care of by someone.An honest person is timid, and this kind of person is a little selfish. Even a little bit of corruption is like plucking hair from a cow. If you dare to move a little, you dare not cause a catastrophe.Someone has to take care of this matter, and the third child is very suitable.
It's just that when it was Lange'er's turn, the old lady frowned and said something too spoiled.
Mrs. Sun took her son and couldn't help taking a step back. She felt that this old lady was very scary.
Aunt Wu was almost pissed off by Sun's behavior, can't you see the master's attitude towards the old lady? You knew something was going to happen, no one said in advance, but sent your cronies to bring the news to the old lady.How much trust do you have when an elder tells you that you are just like that?
The old lady didn't seem to care, she looked at Sister Lin's face twice more, and then sighed, "You child, why are you getting into the horns? You should be lucky, something happened over there before you got married. I understand what you are thinking, but from now on, you have to eat vegetarian food for three months and read scriptures in the house for three months. Just do your best. There is still a long way to go in this life. If I were like you back then, how would I be where I am today?"
Sister Lin's eyes were red, she was blessed, but she didn't cry.
When they arrived at Sifang, the old lady only glanced at Siye and Lin Yutong, and then nodded. It is impossible for any family to really put aside the world affairs, even if it is a mountain residence, it must know the outside affairs.As for the outside affairs, Sifang still has to take care of them.
I have made arrangements for the grandchildren in my heart, but I don't have much to say about the great-grandchildren. It is nothing more than boys and grandchildren going to school, and daughters and grandchildren should learn to be a housekeeper besides studying.
As soon as the old lady sat back, she made a rule, "The big house is not here now, and went to Haiyanzi. For funerals, it's okay not to go. They will come back in a few days, and they will meet again. Now that they are back, they will follow the rules of the family. According to the rules of the family, the second household should be the same as the first household. The ancestral motto of the Jin family is to pass on farming and reading. Farming is to support the family, and reading is to benefit the people. But I understand it all.”
Understood
Everyone said that, but even Lin Yutong and Fourth Master didn't know what the rules of this big house were.
No one asked, and ate the first meal back home in silence.Men and women sit separately, but eat the same food.
Lin Yutong looked at the dishes on the table, a dish of fried cabbage in vegetable oil, a dish of stewed radish with minced meat, a dish of cold rice noodle, and a dish of dried eggplant with mashed garlic.A dustpan of Zamian steamed buns and a bowl of sorghum rice porridge.
It can be seen that this is a good meal for entertaining guests.Lin Yutong paid attention to the old lady, and saw that she only drank porridge and did not take steamed buns.Even for vegetables, he only eats steamed soft and rotten dried eggplants, and doesn't touch anything else.Then I knew that this old lady was used to being poor and self-sufficient.She was afraid that she would not have the habit of eating dry rice at night.
After dinner, the old lady didn't leave anyone behind, "Go back and rest early. I don't have a rule of saying hello here, especially when it's cold, so don't come here if you don't have anything to do."
Sounds like a way to keep people away.
Exit from the inside, and followed Jin Kuang back to the east courtyard.
Only now did Lin Yutong have a general impression of the mansion.The first entrance on the central axis is where guests are received.The second entrance is the ancestral hall.The third entrance is the courtyard where the old lady lives.The third one enters the back, it should be the garden or vegetable garden in the house.
From entering the outer courtyard, it is divided into east and west corridors, leading to the east and west courtyards.The first room has always lived in the east courtyard, so the west courtyard has always been vacant for the second room.
I haven't been in the east courtyard before, but knowing the layout of the west courtyard, I understand that the east courtyard is almost like this.Today's architectural style has never seen asymmetry.
Entering the first courtyard of the east courtyard, Jin Kuang and Xu lived there.
At this moment, the two of them entered the yard, followed by the children and grandchildren behind, and all went in.
Only her own people were left, so Xu hurriedly said, "Master and concubine have been married to the mansion for more than [-] years, and I don't know that my mother-in-law is still there."
How could such an important matter be kept secret?
Jin Kuang waved his hand, "Don't ask about this matter. Just remember that you need to be devoted to serving your mother. You don't need to worry about other things, just pay more attention to your mother, that's all."
Xu can die of aggrieved.She is about to have a great-grandson, and she suddenly has to be a daughter-in-law.
But in front of the juniors, she didn't say anything and just sat aside and got angry.
Jin Kuang only talked about himself, and he was talking to his sons and daughters-in-law, "I heard what your grandmother said clearly just now, and you will follow the rules of your hometown in the future. In the future, the family will divide according to the population of each house. Rations. The rations are given once a month, and the stewards will send them to all parties to give you what to eat. There is no other supply. If you want to eat well, you can earn it yourself. If you can’t earn it, your family won’t watch you starve to death. In addition , a monthly allowance of two hundred big money per person"
This is definitely not enough.This is not enough to reward a servant once.
Jin Kuang didn't look at the expressions of his children and grandchildren, "I've come along this way, have you seen enough? You can live warmly and eat comfortably. This is a good life. How many people can't wait to get the food provided by the family, so they don't call anyone Hungry. Therefore, don’t complain about others. From now on, the heads of each house will open fire on the second family.”
"Daughter-in-law follows grandma." Wen stood up and replied, but looked at the niece behind him, "Daughter-in-law is a person from Shuangju who serves grandma, and follows grandma to eat fast and chant Buddha. Daughter-in-law is very happy. But girl Shu is different, she is just at a good age The daughter-in-law was wondering if she could" she said, and looked at Lin Yutong, "even if you encounter a catastrophe, you will survive it, so it's time to hold a happy event, to flush out bad luck."
Marriage was arranged early, and getting married was a matter of course.
But Lin Yutong murmured to Wen's aunt and nephew because of the incident on the road.Furthermore, fourth master held her hand, although he didn't know the reason.
Before she could speak, the fourth master said, "Second sister-in-law is too anxious. Our sudden arrival has caused a lot of trouble for the family for no reason. Here, women's marriage is not a matter of one or two words. If you don't waste money, it will be It's a big expense. It's not too late to discuss this matter after the new year. If the second sister-in-law thinks it's inconvenient for the child to follow you, then she can raise it with the mother first. Once you leave, the mother's side will not be cold. Sister Lin If you want to eat vegetarian food, sister Xuan is too naughty."
This makes people don't know how to answer it.
But Xu Shi felt that what his son said was right. He didn't even recognize the door when he came here, so he had to hold a wedding.Who cares about Wanxi in the front.According to that mother-in-law's behavior, it's hard to say whether the three dishes and one soup can even be put together for this happy event.
Xiao Xu also said, "The second sibling is too anxious. The two children are still young, and it will not be too late in another year or so."
The two juniors were so ashamed that they wished they could crawl under the ground.
But Xiao Xu's calculation is that the family only provides food and two hundred dollars a month, what will be done with the soup and medicine money of her husband and son? dilly-dally.
While talking, the housekeeper outside reported that the old lady had sent someone to deliver food.
That's fine, let's go.
Lin Yutong and fourth master didn't care about it, and asked Brother Kun to take care of it.They only took a few children back to the main house.The charcoal in the house is not as prosperous as before, and there is only a basket of charcoal outside. If several houses are lit with charcoal pots tonight, they will not be able to resist buying charcoal tomorrow.
Bai Shi said first, "I'll squeeze with my sister tonight, and ask their brothers to squeeze in three."
This charcoal is barely enough.
As soon as the words fell, the woman in charge of boiling water came to report, "The firewood in the kitchen is only enough for tomorrow morning. It has to be used sparingly."
Come on, this is blocking all the back roads.
This old lady is a cruel person.There is no time for the younger generation to feel sorry for themselves, and it will push you into a corner as soon as it comes up.Look at what you can do. If you want to keep your fingers free from the spring water like before, then you have to eat a few meals, go hungry, and wear rags.
Lin Yutong said she knew, and told her to use it first, "I'll go out and buy some tomorrow."
I still have some money in my hands.
But when it is forced to this point, each house has no money in hand.Only here are the rituals sent by King Shun.This money can be safely kept so that everyone else will suffer from cold and starvation
Certainly not.This will have to be taken out sooner or later, there is no separation.Instead of asking others to bring it up, it's better to take it out first. Anyway, Lin Yutong not only has the money found in the servant's room in the mansion that night, but also the box that was hidden by the original owner at that time.The box was full of gold ingots.It was the box silver in her dowry.
Wait for Brother Kun to put away the food, and come back to report one by one: "[-] catties of millet noodles, [-] catties of wheat noodles, [-] catties of soybeans, [-] catties of soybeans, [-] catties of red beans, and [-] catties of mung beans."
Messy things, and some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, anyway, just to keep you from being hungry for a while.
No one listened carefully, and when he finished speaking, Fourth Master took out the bank note, "Send it to your grandfather, and say it belongs to the public."
Brother Kun's hand paused, and finally took it, "My son will come back as soon as he goes."
Sure enough, after a cup of tea, he came back again and took five taels of silver, "Grandpa said that there is no room for five taels of settling expenses, and this is ours."
Lin Yutong confiscated it, "Give it to your daughter-in-law. Your father and I still have it. But you and your wife don't have any silver in your hands. Even if your daughter-in-law wants to eat snacks, she can't touch the money from her body. "In addition to these five taels, Lin Yutong went into the bedroom again, and gave the scattered ones, which looked like two or thirty taels, to Bai's." Minger asked Brother Kun to go to the village and ask, who has frozen persimmons and frozen pears? Touch it." When he came out of the ancestral hall earlier, he saw Bai staring at a half-eaten radish that was hastily hidden in a girl's hand, and there was still a little pity in his eyes.I was afraid that I wanted to eat fruit, so I didn't dare to open my mouth, and I knew that there was no one for her to eat.
Bai Shi felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, and she seemed to have made a big mistake when she got up. Now it is difficult to eat, but she is not happy.
Lin Yutong forced it and stuffed it, "Okay, put it away and go to rest quickly. Let's talk about tomorrow."
Only then did the children get sent away.The Bai family lives with sister Xuan, and the three elder brothers live there.Even in the place where he was born, there is nothing to worry about for the time being.
After lying down, Lin Yutong looked at fourth master's injuries first, then applied another layer of medicine, and told him to lie on his stomach to dry, so that the two of them had time to talk alone.
Lin Yutong first asked the fourth master, "How will I live in the future?"
Being an official is nothing to do with being an official.If I remember correctly, imperial examinations were not allowed for three generations.That is to say, from Jin Kuang's generation to Kun'er's generation, they were not allowed to take the imperial examination.If you want to go this way, you must either recover from Jin Kuang, or wait until the generation of the child in Bai's womb.Anyway, for the time being, this path will not work.
or rebellion
What rebellion? Marquis Wending passed it on to Jin Kuang, only the second generation.How long has it been since the world has been peaceful? If it is really a troubled time, then there is nothing wrong with following the trend.But the world is peaceful, what is chaotic is the court, not the world.Can the flames of war be reignited for this? Fourth master and Lin Yutong have no addiction to being emperors. After knowing the general background, they never thought about that direction at all.Don't use the chaotic court as an excuse. In fact, when the court is not chaotic, it can be called the court.In that dynasty, it was not new for there to be such and such incidents between the monarch and his ministers.The affairs of the court are handled by the rules of the court.But whoever dares to make life miserable will be the first to finish the game.
Therefore, this path was directly killed.
Either wait for the opportunity to see if Jin Kuang will be recovered.Either it is to live in poverty and live in peace, and to be a little rich is to be safe.
Come on, if fourth master wants to, he should be able to do it.And it won't be too difficult.But Jin Kuang, what did he think? The fourth master is not the main cause, but Jin Kuang is.So, you have all the skills and ideas in your stomach, but you can't hold back other people's ideas.
The fourth master said, "We have to be prepared to get rich soon."
But a little rich is safe, what can be done to achieve a little rich?
The old lady of the Wang family said in the ancestral hall that she couldn't do business, and the Jin family passed on farming and studying.
Farming and reading heirlooms means that you can't get involved with merchants.At this age, the old lady is obviously not a person who can do nothing, but she still sticks to poverty, and she doesn't even greedy for food and drink. You said, can such a person allow younger generations to be merchants?
From ancient times to the present, occupations are nothing more than scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.
The official career may not go well, and merchants cannot be contaminated.Only farmers and workers are left.
Farming is of course also possible, but the problem is that he obviously has no land.Because every time the family is divided, Jin Kuang will not give it to the family, so don't think about the land that belongs to you.Some are [-] mu of land used as a sacrifice field.
What's more, Gonggong doesn't talk about his social status, it's his current status. If you make something and then pass it on to the court, the loss outweighs the gain.All that needs to be done now is to hibernate. It is best for people to forget that there is still the Jin family.If there is another storm, I and Tongtong can run away, but what about the old and the young?
Don't forget, the caravan was blocked on the road because of a murder case.I don't know if it's resolved now.
Furthermore, fourth master faintly felt that the matter might be a little deeper.The death of the second child of the Jin family was very strange, and this time he was repeatedly plotted against on the road, but Jin Kuang acted as if nothing had happened. Doesn’t this explain the problem?
Apparently, this old guy would rather suppress all those unwillingnesses than live in his hometown.
There must be some reason why others don't know about it and it's inconvenient to tell others.
Even if he shrinks, fourth master will not bump up.
Therefore, it is best not to get involved easily.
After such a calculation, there is no way to make a living.
Lin Yutong was discouraged, "I've really fallen to the point where I can't support my family."
nonsense can i make you hungry
The fourth master rested his head on his arm, and there was a bit of yearning in his eyes, "The location of this village is well chosen, surrounded by mountains, and only one side is connected to the outside, and I'm afraid of starving to death by relying on the mountains."
Bragging is like how clever your means are.
The fourth master laughed, "Go east for a day, and you will find Haiyanzi. If not, I'll take you fishing."
Talking more and more, right?
I'm telling you the truth.
Just like whoever said it wasn't serious.Fourth Master pulled her to sleep, "Sleep and sleep, I know what to do. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the mountains to open up wasteland."
Whoever opens it belongs to him.Not even the country, let alone the family.
Lin Yutong believed his lies
Being disturbed three times and two times by him, I was really a little confused.I was about to fall asleep, and then I remembered to ask, "Wen's family can't pick up the bride?"
"That kid is not happy." Fourth Master said.
not happy
Thinking about it again, the drowsiness is really unstoppable.The sound of the howling wind outside made people feel chills in their hearts, and the room was not that warm.My arms are still cold when I put them outside. Lying under the blanket, I feel my nose is cold.You can only drill in, and then drill in.
In the second half of the night, the bed was obviously not that warm, so the fire under the kang must have been extinguished.
Lin Yutong crawled into fourth master's arms, feeling that his body was extremely warm.On the other side, Da Fang coughed continuously throughout the night.Burning charcoal, I feel a little choking and cough.Don't burn it, it's so cold.The cold made the cough worse.
If two men can't rest, naturally two women can't rest.Before dawn the next day, the door was slammed. It was the nanny on the other side of the big room. Lin Yutong hadn't gotten up yet, so she asked her to stand under the window and answer, "What's wrong this early in the morning?" "
The nanny hurriedly said, "Our wife told me to go back to the Fourth Wife, and said that she was asking the Fourth Wife to tell the Fourth Master that there was something wrong with the Uncle. He coughed all night last night, and today he can't even cough out a sound. Rui brother too"
This is to ask fourth master to find a way to invite a doctor.
Lin Yutong already has antitussive medicine in his hand, and now he entrusts it to Li Cheng, "The snow has blocked the mountain, and we can't go out. There is a bottle here, which was given to our master by the second son of Shun Wangfu. I have invited a good medicine prescribed by a good doctor, take it first and have a look. It’s not a short-term thing to invite people, it’s only here. If you take it, it’s good. We have a prescription, and we will ask someone to give it later. If it's not good, come here again, and you'll have washed up by then." As he spoke, he opened the window a crack and plugged it in.
Little Xu didn't believe it, it turns out that no matter where the doctor is in the Hou's mansion, there are no doctors who cannot be invited.What Li Cheng can find, there is nothing he can't find at home.But it's going to be a while, and you can't pick and choose, let's drink it first.
After drinking a cup of tea, I didn't hear the uneven panting sound in my chest.After another cup of tea, I heard the father and son snoring lightly.
Fell asleep
Amitabha
It is much better to be able to fall asleep.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly sent her nanny, "Go and ask for the prescription, go to the fourth wife and ask for the prescription."
Mrs. Yao stopped her immediately, "Mother, don't worry. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to ask for a prescription. If you want a prescription, don't you have to ask your fourth uncle to do it? Third uncle, You can't rest assured. You asked for the prescription, but you still have to give it to someone else. Why should we do it? Just say that the medicine is very useful after taking it. I just entrust the whole thing to fourth uncle."
As soon as Xiao Xu thought about it, it was the same.Besides, there is an expense of money in it.Li Cheng had asked for this medicine before, and it took a lot of money, and he really couldn't afford the money for the medicine now.
Thinking about it this way, it would be convenient to ask Sifang to do it.Anyway, my family is on the fourth uncle's side of the couple's family, if there is someone who doesn't get along, it's better to go to the master to get it, than to come forward as my own daughter-in-law
