A good husband and fortune

Lin An never thought that Zhizhi Lin would give him 200 taels of silver, and the two of them didn't talk about the silver on the way back.

Lin An didn't even think about the 1000 taels of silver, but now that Lin Zhi gave him the 200 taels directly, Lin An felt that the money could not be accepted.

"I can't accept the money from Xiao Zhi." Lin An also waved his hand and refused. The money earned by Hongfu Restaurant has nothing to do with him.

"Why can't you accept it?" Lin didn't know what to do, he put the wooden box containing silver in his hand, "This is what you deserve."

The spectators in the village also heard that Hongfu Restaurant has launched a dish, which is the ubiquitous red pliers, and gave it a very novel name called crayfish.

In the past two days, there were so many guests that they queued up to get the number to eat, but they couldn’t eat it. I heard from people who had eaten it that the taste was so spicy and delicious. Many people heard that they also went to catch crayfish to make it, but the result was still the same. Generally unpalatable.

Not to mention hard to chew, there is also a muddy smell.

Now I heard that Lin Zhi was doing business with Hongfu Restaurant, and he got 1000 taels of silver in just one day. The people in this village are so itchy.

Some couldn't bear it and asked: "Knowledge Lin, what business do you do with shopkeeper Sun of Hongfu Restaurant? What exactly does the red pliers do?"

"Shopkeeper Sun and I are doing ordinary business. As for how the crayfish are made, I don't know. Shopkeeper Sun is a cook hired from Dadu." Lin Zhi said deliberately unclearly, just to order these people's appetite.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Zheng and Lin An and said: "Don't think that 200 taels of silver is a lot. Broaden your horizons, and you will only earn more and more money in the future. I have a long-term cooperation with the owner of Hongfu Restaurant. Don't worry, the money came from a legitimate source."

"Little Zhi..." Lin An still didn't want to accept, he looked at Lin Zhi.

"Accept me as a friend. Your family's love for me is far more than the 200 taels of silver." Lin Zhi is a person who thinks of others' kindness, and he will not treat anyone who is kind to him badly. People, "and you come to my house with me later, I have something to ask you."

Lin Zhi had already said that, and Lin An was embarrassed to say it again if he refused. After Lin An accepted the 200 taels of silver, Lin Zhi drove the carriage back to his home.

There are servants at home, so Lin Zhi still troubled Aunt Li and Zhou Lianxiang to take care of them. When the two returned, Zhou Lianxiang and Aunt Li were making medicine for Mr. Li in the yard.

"Aunt Li and Aunt Zhou, you have worked hard these two days." Lin Zhi got off the carriage, took the things into the house and greeted the busy Zhou Lianxiang and Aunt Li, "I'll go in to see how grandpa is doing?"

"Go, Uncle Li is much better, he was still talking about you just now." Zhou Lianxiang asked Lin Zhi to enter the room quickly.

Shen Yanchuan tethered the horses in the back, the servants and elder brothers of the family went to patrol the chili pond, the old mother who cooked was busy in the kitchen of the west courtyard, the old housekeeper and Shen Yanchuan reported the situation at home in the past two days.

Of the four little girls, two are helping in the kitchen, and the other two are preparing water and handkerchiefs for Shen Yanchuan and Lin Zhi.

"My lord, please wash your hands." The little maid held up the wooden basin, Lin Zhi, whose head was lowered, could barely see the back of her head.

The servant girl looked young, and Lin didn't know if she liked such a humble attitude. He wanted to call her by name, but found that he was too busy before, so he didn't bother to ask the names of the 32 servants.

"What's your name?"

"In the case of Master Hui, the servant girl is a family slave, without a surname, and her first name is Yingchun." The little maid replied respectfully.

Yingchun, this name is really tacky.

Lin Zhi thought for a while and asked, "Do you like this name? If you like it, then you don't need to change it. If you don't like it, I'll give you a new one."

"Grandpa, please take one, the life of the servant belongs to the two masters."

"From now on, you will be called Baizhi, and the one behind you will be called Banxia. If you like, you can be named Shen. You don't have to be too careful. As long as you abide by your duties, I will not treat you badly." Lin Zhi will get out of the carriage. Handed the cakes to Bai Zhi, "You don't need to serve here, take these cakes to the west courtyard, and wait for the others to come back, you can share them."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"Ban Xia thank you for the reward, master."

The two little girls didn't expect to get a new name, and there were cakes to eat. They were both half-grown girls. After thanking Lin Zhihou, they hugged the cakes and smiled happily.

Lin Zhi didn't say anything else, washed his hands and went to visit Mr. Li's room.

Mr. Li is really anxious, he is still lying on the bed and unwilling to get up, the doctor said he is suffering from heart disease, physical discomfort caused by stagnation in his heart.

"Grandpa, I'm back." Lin Zhi called for someone as soon as he opened the door.

Hearing Lin Zhi's voice, Mr. Li leaned on the head of the bed and sat up on his upper body, saying, "I'm back, I'm not used to studying abroad these two days."

"It's okay, is grandpa feeling better these two days?" Lin Zhi opened the window after entering the room, and lifted the bed curtain to allow the sunlight to shine in.

"It's much better." In fact, Mr. Li has never been better, but this is the case with the elderly, and he is unwilling to tell the truth.

"Grandpa lied." Just by looking at the state of old man Li, Lin Zhi knew what it was like, but old man Li hadn't figured it out at all.

"..." Mr. Li didn't answer, but just sighed.

"Grandpa, you are still angry about the pepper field." Lin Zhi didn't directly enlighten Mr. Li, he was going to follow the routine of saving the country, "Then let me tell you a happy thing, okay?"

"What's the fun?"

"Grandpa, do you know how much money Shen Yanchuan and I have earned these two days?"

"How much?" Mr. Li knew that Lin Zhi was capable, from the time Lin Zhi was able to build such a big mansion, but he still didn't dare to guess.

"Grandpa, guess it." Lin Zhi asked Mr. Li to guess.

"200 taels?" Mr. Li said a number.

Lin Zhi didn't want to play the game of guessing and answering, so he said directly: "1000 taels, which is still a little."

"What!" Upon hearing about 1000 taels of silver, Mr. Li rolled over from the bed.

As soon as Shen Yanchuan came in, he saw that his grandfather was old and strong, and he could still play with crucian carp.

"How come there are so many?"

"Is it a lot? I don't think it's a lot." Lin Zhi smiled and continued, "So grandpa and Shen Yanchuan can earn 1000 taels of silver in two days. Do you think you are depressed and uncomfortable at home because of such a little chili pepper? Is it not worth it to be uncomfortable?"

"We don't need to be angry with those people. Those people do this just to see us feel uncomfortable and angry. The more we do this, the more we need to be steady. It's not as comfortable to laugh at a mad dog as it is to be treated like a dog."

Mr. Li listened to Lin Zhi's words and remained silent. He thought about it seriously and felt that Lin Zhi's words made sense. He was so uncomfortable and angry that he would lie at home all day to die. Have you got your wish?

The one who provoked the victim is happy, and the relatives are very worried.

"Xiao Zhi, what you said makes sense. Grandpa is confused. After you say that, Grandpa understands everything." As soon as Mr. Li figured it out, he became energetic, "Grandpa can't let those people Watch the joke."

"now it's right."

After Lin Zhi finished speaking, Shen Yanchuan brought in 800 taels of silver and handed it to Mr. Li: "Grandpa, this is 800 taels of silver. You are an elder, so I will leave it to you for safekeeping."

"Okay, okay." Mr. Li didn't refuse. As an elder, he didn't want to covet anything. He was willing to guard the money for the two juniors.

Outside the house, Zhou Lianxiang and Aunt Li didn't know what was going on, but Mr. Li came out holding the door frame, both of them were very surprised.

No matter how persuasive I was before, I was unwilling to get out of bed and go out. What happened today?

"The weather is fine today. I'll come out to get some fresh air. It will be really troublesome if an old bone is lying down." Mr. Li didn't say much else, he said something cheerfully and went to sit under the shade of a tree.

Lin knew that Shen Yanchuan was back, and Aunt Li and Zhou Lianxiang were going back too. After all, during the busy farming season, everyone had some unclear tasks to do.

"Aunt Li and Aunt Zhou wait a moment." Lin Zhi stopped the two who were about to leave, and handed the prepared pastry and candied fruit to Aunt Li, "Aunt Li has troubled you for the past two days, this is my heart, don't refuse, this thing It’s not expensive to take it home to satisfy the children’s hunger.”

"Okay, then I'll accept it." Aunt Li knew it was useless to refuse, so she accepted it.

Lin Zhi didn't buy anything for Li Zheng's family, so he said to Zhou Lianxiang: "Aunt Zhou, your family has a big surprise waiting for you, go back and have a look."

"You said that, then I have to go back and have a look." Zhou Lianxiang is not such a stingy person, she joked with Lin Zhi cheerfully, "Then you look at your Uncle Li's medicine, I will go back first gone."

"Tonight, I'm going to host a guest. Aunt Zhou and Aunt Li will come over to have dinner consciously. If there is one missing, I will come to invite you."

"Row."

"Okay, definitely come on an empty stomach."

After talking, Aunt Li and Zhou Lianxiang walked home with smiles on their faces. Gossip is always the fastest in the village. After a while, everyone in the village knew that Lin Zhi and Shen Yanchuan were doing business with shopkeeper Sun of Hongfu Restaurant. , earned 1000 taels of silver in two days, and distributed two hundred to Lin An.

Now Zhou Lianxiang has also become the object of being watched by the villagers, accepting envious looks from others along the way, and when she got home, Zhou Lianxiang smiled happily and asked Lizheng what was going on at home.

In the end, Li Zheng, Lin An and his son looked sad, and pointed to the silver on the table.

Zhou Lianxiang didn't know what happened to the two of them. She walked over to open the box, but was too scared to speak.

"This, this..." The joy in Zhou Lianxiang's heart turned into shock, "Where did you get so much money here? What did you do, An'er?"

"If I do something, I can feel at ease right now." Lin An frowned and sighed, and told Zhou Lianxiang the origin of the money.

After hearing this, Zhou Lianxiang thought about it and felt that this money cannot be collected: "Our family didn't do anything, how could we collect such money."

"That's what I said too, but Xiaozhi insisted that I worked with him at the beginning, so we were in partnership, and we earned [-] cents of the money." Lin An said.

"This..." Zhou Lianxiang was in a dilemma.

"Okay." At the critical moment, Li Zheng stood up and said, "Since Xiaozhi wants to help us, then we can't lose face with him, and accept it if he gives it. In the future, the couple will be useful to us." place, even if I try my best, I won’t shirk it.”

Everyone in charge spoke up, and Lin An and Zhou Lianxiang didn't say anything more.

"Put away the money. Since An'er and Xiaozhi are in partnership, then the money belongs to Aner. Whether Aner marries in the future, this will be Aner's confidence."

"I know."

On the other side, Aunt Li was returning home with pastries and candied fruit. On the way, she met someone from the same village. Seeing that Aunt Li had come out from Zhi Lin's house, she hurried forward to inquire.

"Dagen's mother-in-law, you and Lin Zhi, Shen Yanchuan and the others are very close. Do you know what kind of business they did with shopkeeper Sun of Hongfu Restaurant? They earned 1000 taels of silver in two days."

"What?" Aunt Li looked at the speaker in confusion.

Seeing Aunt Li's ignorance, the man began to vividly describe the scene in front of Lizheng's house half an hour ago.

"If you ask me, Lin Zhi is really generous. How much is 200 taels of silver? Some people can't earn so much money in their entire lives." Can't refuse."

"Xiaozhi is smart. He has a brighter mind and can make money. A woman like me doesn't ask about such things." Aunt Li still smiled after hearing such gossip. As for the matter of giving money to Li Zheng's family, Aunt Li Even more indifferently, "Xiaozhi remembers other people's kindness. Lizheng's family treats him well, and Xiaoan has a good relationship with him. The two of them even dug a pond together for breeding. It is only natural to give Xiaoan money."

As soon as Aunt Li said this, some people began to sarcasm: "Yo, Lin Zhi is remembering others, but you have helped him a lot, why doesn't he remember you, and give you 200 taels of silver."

This person is a typical person who doesn't see good things in others. Aunt Li knows that this woman is from the same village as Zhang Xiuhua, and they have a good relationship on weekdays, so Aunt Li said directly without saving face.

"It turns out that you are good to others because you have a plan. If you have time to sow discord, why don't you use your brain to think about how to make money." After speaking, Aunt Li strode away, ignoring these people.

Lin Zhi also bought some things for Aunt Li's family. They were clothes for Aunt Li's three children. He forgot to give them.

He himself felt a little ashamed of Aunt Li, but Aunt Li was not angry when she was ridiculed, and she still defended herself.

"Who said I don't remember Aunt Li's kindness." Lin Zhi walked over with a cloth bag in his hand, and swept the woman who made fun of Aunt Li, Lin Zhi said, "I, Lin Zhi, always repays kindness. If there is revenge, if there is kindness to me, I will definitely help, and those who plot against me, I will not let go of any of them."

"What do you mean, I never plotted against you." The woman was guilty of being stared at by Lin Zhi, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Then who knows?" Lin Zhi chuckled, "God always has eyes, do you think that's the reason?"
