In the end, it is unknown what Lin Yu and Lin Ruhai said that day, and no one dared to ask.Even Su Mu, who was following him, was sent outside after confirming his identity.
However, Bai Shu, who had served his uncle since childhood, knew that Lin Yu was really in a good mood when he came back.
The appearance of the two princes and the son of the Zhen family was like a gust of wind, and they disappeared after the Yangzhou mansion. The original talk about the emperor going to the south of the Yangtze River disappeared for a while, and it seemed that they would stay until next year.The Yanzheng Yamen, which seemed to be simmering in a fire that might catch fire at any time, seemed to have been drained from the bottom of the cauldron, and the depressive atmosphere dissipated.
From the top to bottom of the Yanzheng, from the third-rank officials to the low-level officials, all of them felt that the hands stuck around their necks were much looser.It is not as wanton as before, but it is much better than the unlucky Yue Tongzhi who resigned some time ago.
Standing behind the back of the high-transfer envoy and the newcomer Cheng Tongzhi is the same person, and the two of them are naturally closer.Cheng Tongzhi, who had just lost face earlier, couldn't hold back and ran to ask the transfer envoy Gao: "Where does this Lin Ruhai sing?"
The envoy Gao Zhuanyun shook his head with a relaxed expression: "I tested him yesterday, but I just didn't pick up on it." Seeing that Cheng Tongzhi was about to attack without a wrinkle, he laughed, "But today I sent someone to check the account. It's smoothed out up and down."
Cheng Tongzhi was taken aback, and said, "Is it flat?"
"It's not flat." And it was just overnight.Gao Zhuanyun said with emotion, "If we had such a heart, why did we have to deal with him so hard." Why didn't we show this ability earlier, so that everyone can be clean.
"You said, did the superiors warn him through his nephew?" Thinking of how much the third son valued Lin Yu, he heard that when he was about to leave, he held his hand and refused to let him go. Don't let anyone see the account book, and it will all be wiped out today?" If something is found out, Lin Ruhai will be the first one who can't escape.
"No matter what, you tell your kid to pay that Mr. Lin a gift!" It was because of knowing this that Gao's fortune-telling envoy was relieved of Lin Ruhai. To be honest, he didn't really care who was sitting on the Yanzheng.When he is old, he will be able to serve in an official position in peace, and he will have enough money to allow future generations to study for the imperial examination with peace of mind.
Cheng Tongzhi smiled and said: "As long as you can keep doing well like this, don't get out of the way, and it doesn't matter if you ask me to make amends in person."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, but they didn't realize that there was an extra servant beside Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai said that day that he originally wanted to check the account books on the Yanzheng, seal them up, and send them all to the capital with secret documents.Of course, before the memorial was finished, he burned it himself.
The account book is ready-made, and it is in Lin Ruhai's study, which even Lin Yu did not guess.However, it doesn't matter what Lin Ruhai originally wanted to do. Anyway, for Lin Yu, it would be a breeze to make a new account book according to the original one without the trouble of sending someone to the Yanzheng Yamen to steal it.
Then Lin Ruhai saw the abilities of Ganoderma lucidum and Baishu. One glanced at it and calculated the result, while the other listened and disassembled the abnormal numbers bit by bit to hide them in the huge accounts.In the end, Jing Mo came on stage, and quickly transcribed a new account book by comparing the handwriting on the original account book.
"...Nephew is surrounded by talented people." After the three of them retreated, Lin Ruhai sighed with a complicated expression.However, according to his ambition, this is a good thing.
As the days passed, the people in the Yanzheng Yamen gradually felt relieved.It seems that Lin Ruhai is really no longer the "blue sky" who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Although he still doesn't take it himself, as long as others don't do too much and touch his bottom line, this Yanzheng is a good man who is as good as the light. .So, gradually, on the surface, these officials who were their masters became convinced of Lin Ruhai.
In the final analysis, they were all small pawns, and the bulk was handed over to the people behind them.But if something really happened, they would be the first to go up.Since the current Yanzheng has the ability to help them wipe out the accounts and no one can find out, isn't this a good thing?
Lin Ruhai didn't take it himself, and everyone just laughed behind their backs as a fool, and couldn't help admiring that he was really honest.
People's hearts say it's strange and it's strange, and it's not strange if it's not strange. In the end, it's just because of interests!
When the end of the year was approaching, the accounts came out, and the salt tax sent to the treasury this year was more than [-]% more than in previous years.Even now, who is sitting high in the Forbidden City, after seeing the excess gold and silver, thinking that another person might not even have this number, he acquiesced that Lin Ruhai would continue to serve as the salt administrator.
Furthermore, the Mi Zhe who came over there only said that Lin Ruhai worked hard and did not exceed the rules, let alone risking the world's dissatisfaction by contacting other forces.Therefore, there is nothing to say even now.
However, to Lin Ruhai at this time, none of these matters anymore.The most important thing is the wife who is giving birth in the delivery room. Jia Min's health has always been good. Dr. Li who is in charge of Lin's mansion also said that she has been raised healthier, and mother and child will be safe.
However, it had been three hours, and Lin Ruhai who was standing outside the yard was restless.There was no sound inside, so why didn't he worry?
No matter how good Jia Min's body was, he was a bit older after all, but Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say that, so he had to keep walking back and forth in front of the courtyard gate.
Lin Yu sighed and asked Bai Shu beside him, "How is Daiyu?"
"The eldest girl is well. She is taking a nap after lunch, and Su Lan is with her." After Bai Shu replied, she thought for a while, "I'm afraid she woke up during the rest and wanted to find his wife."
Glancing at Lin Ruhai, Lin Yu swallowed back your words about going to see Daiyu. Su Lan has always been reassuring, there is no need to send people to see Daiyu in a humbling manner.This girl is very sensitive, I am afraid that she will think that her mother is going to give birth to a little brother all at once.It was freezing cold, there was no need to hug her here.
This year, it was hard for her to get better.
Lin Ruhai listened to Lin Yu and Bai Shu's words with pricked ears, and when he heard that Daiyu was fine, he stared at the gate of the courtyard as if roots had taken root.
"It's snowing." Lin Yu's eyes suddenly felt a little wet. He raised his eyes to look carefully at the overcast sky, and said softly, "Uncle, go and avoid it first!"
Lin Ruhai turned her head and twisted a difficult smile: "Brother Yu, go and avoid it first, don't catch a cold."
Looking at his cousin's appearance, Lin Yu sighed, thinking that maybe he hadn't had a child in his previous life until his death, so now he really can't understand Lin Ruhai's mentality.
But he can't just let him stand like this, since he doesn't want to move, just surround the whole place.
With an order, the whole Lin Mansion started to move, and within a short time, a simple wooden pavilion was set up outside the courtyard gate.The charcoal basin inside was also lit, and housekeeper Lin even brought Lin Ruhai's cloak.
Bai Shu put the cloak in her hand on Lin Yu's shoulders, and she stuffed a small hand stove in her hand.He had no choice but to accept this kindness. He had been taken care of by her since he was a child. If it was fair to say, he didn't have to wait until now.
After waiting, it was midnight.
Lin Yu couldn't help being a little worried, but his excellent hearing told him that the footsteps inside were still orderly, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Turning around, he asked Bai Shu who was accompanying him, "What time is it?"
Bai Shu took out the pocket watch beside him, glanced at it and said, "Go back to the uncle, Zishi."
Lin Yu calculated and said softly, "The winter solstice is here!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion inside. Lin Ruhai was about to rush in when he was in a hurry, but was stopped by the housekeeper Lin.The butler was also getting older, so he blocked a column, how could he really stop the eager Lin Ruhai, so he looked anxiously at Lin Yu.Although I said those things to Lin Ruhai at the beginning, it was also my responsibility.Lin Yu knew it already, and he wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
Now that a whole year is almost over, Lin Butler can't help but start to rely on this young man who seems to be able to solve everything.
Lin Yu folded her hands, seeing Lin Butler's anxious eyes, she paused for a moment and reached out to hold Lin Ruhai.Although he really couldn't understand why men in the delivery room couldn't enter, but seeing Lin Ruhai's appearance of being frightened and fainting at any time, it didn't take him much effort to stop him.
However, it didn't make things difficult for Butler Lin.Lin Yu could already hear footsteps approaching from inside.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, a woman opened the courtyard door and said beamingly: "Madam gave birth to a little son, both mother and child are safe."
As soon as Lin Yu let go, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it anymore and walked inside.When Butler Lin wanted to stop him again, Lin Yu said, "Don't stop me, it's fine anyway."
The mother-in-law who was about to reach out her hand stopped after hearing this.
Not long after, Lin Ruhai blushed and was kicked out willingly.
On the second day, Lin Yu was dragged by Lin Ruhai, and the whole desk was covered with papers filled with various names. He pointed to the writing and said, "Brother Yu, which one is better?" Talking to Lin Yu about the origins and meanings of these names, I even thought about what kind of characters to match them in the future.
Lin Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, just in time to hear that Jia Lian was coming to congratulate him, so he hurriedly pushed the person to the excited Lin Ruhai, pointed out something himself, and ran away while he had time.
On the way back to his yard, Lin Yu heard so many congratulations, which made him dumbfounded.It's not like giving birth to a child by yourself, why congratulate him, it's a serious congratulation, sitting in the study and waiting!
After waiting for most of the night last night, Lin Yu, who has always had regular living habits, was also a little tired.After returning to the room, he took off his clothes and lay down for a while. When he woke up, he saw that the room was deserted. He half-repeatedly called Bai Shu, but there was no response.
Seeing Ganoderma lucidum coming in with hot water, he said with a smile, "Master is sleepy and stared, Sister Baishu has arranged for the next day's bath, and she is busy!"
Lin Yu touched his forehead and suddenly said, "Exactly." Then he asked what time it was.
"It's time for lunch, sir, get up!" Ganoderma lucidum quickly prepared the toiletries, as well as brand-new clothes, shoes and socks, all of which were just taken off the smoker cage, with a slight warm fragrance.She helped Lin Yu wash up and said, "Master Tang and Master Biao are waiting there!"
He combed his hair again, fortunately, it didn't need to be so troublesome when he was a child, just half combed and tied.
Seeing Lin Yu coming from afar, Jia Lian smiled at Lin Ruhai and said, "Brother Yu is really healthy. I don't see him wearing an extra one this winter. He just puts on a big cloak to finish the job." It was he who was sick once in Yangzhou for more than half a year.
"If you learn from him and practice martial arts for an entire hour every day, you can do the same." Lin Ruhai was still thinking of a name in his mind, and replied casually.
Jia Lian opened his eyes wide and said, "Is this so? My nephew has never seen it before." After a pause, he laughed at himself, "That's right. When my nephew got up, Brother Yu had already gone back. How could he see it! "It's strange that I have no future, let's see how talented and intelligent people work so hard, how can I compare to him who fights chickens and dogs all day long.
In the past half a year in Lin's house, Jia Lian really had some motivation to improve after listening to Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's teachings and Lin Yu's comparison.
In any case, it's better than just taking care of some chores at home.
However, this time the aunt had a son, and he had already gone to Xinfu for the first time, and he was afraid that after the ceremony there, he would follow the capital.
It didn't mean that someone at home would take care of him and not tell him to wander around all day long. If there was no one to take care of him at home, he especially cherished the feeling that someone cared about him in the Lin family.
Lin Yu saw him sighing and sighing, and when he heard what he said, she smiled and said, "What's the problem? Just tell your cousin that, and then go to the letter home and say that you should learn from your uncle to keep your eyebrows high and your eyes low." Yes, can they still do it?"
Jia Lian sighed, and said: "It's possible, but..." A blush appeared on his cheeks, and he whispered, "The people in the house are busy making an engagement for me, so I won't come back."
Lin Yu looked at his young and shy appearance in novelty, and said, "I just thought that the second brother Lian has experienced everything, why is he still shy now?" Then he laughed, "Look, you know the bride Whose?"
Jia Lian waved his hands, as if to shake off the heat on his face: "We grew up as brothers and sisters, and there is nothing to shy away from. We are girls from the Wang family." Names are not easy to say in front of outsiders, although He didn't know that Lin Yu knew almost better than him.He pretended not to care and said, "It's too early to say that the bride is too early. I will start preparations this year. After Nacai, name asking, Najib, Nazheng, and the period of invitation are all gone, the time to really greet her in person is indispensable." Wait until the next year. Sooner or later, you will have to suffer like this."
"Second brother Lian said it's too early, let alone me, let alone me." Lin Yu chuckled. Although it is common to get married early these days, it is not out of the ordinary for men to wait until they are in their twenties.He has made up his mind, let's talk about it in ten years!
Jia Lian shook his head in disapproval, jokingly said: "It's getting late, when you turn over the years and get the body of a man, the matchmaker will have to step through the threshold of this mansion, I'm afraid you will be dazzled by then."
"What are you afraid of? I just said that I will wait until I have won the Jinshi." Lin Yu didn't care, and said, "Besides, these people can still walk in front of me. They have to stop them outside."
Jia Lian laughed when she heard this, and said: "That's true. People like us don't need to pick and choose from these low-level people, even if they are official media? Who is a girl from a really good family who is not the elders? To ventilate, I’m asking a matchmaker to come and go through the motions.” As he spoke, he sighed, “It’s just that even though I’m not needed, it doesn’t look like I’m not there, I can’t stay here in Yangzhou.”
That being said, Lin Yu didn't look reluctant when he looked at him. It was true that he couldn't bear to be here, and it was true that he was looking forward to getting married.
Lin Yu sighed inwardly, for the past half a year, although Jia Lian still acted like a dandy in Lin's mansion, whenever he saw something good outside, he would bring him a portion, and he would keep a mouthful of delicious food, especially if he was walking outside. Protect, really treat him as the protector of a crystal heart and glass person, Lin Yu accepts his love.It's just that he himself is willing to this kind of marriage, and it involves the marriage of two families, even if he is not willing, he cannot tolerate his willfulness.
Unless Lin Yu can find him a better family than the Wang family, there is no way to destroy this marriage.And this point, even Lin Yu is unable to do it now.
Lin Yu seems to be in a good mood now, but all of this is superficial.I didn't see that he was actually cautious in everything he did, and he wouldn't move unless he was fully sure. After getting Lin Ruhai's power, he got better, but he still didn't bring out many things.
That's why he was in a hurry to take the imperial examinations. Only when he was appointed as an official and stood up as an adult, could many plans be carried out.
At that time, including his marriage, it will be the real marriage between the two families, not one-sided favor and support.
On the day of the third wash, Lin Ruhai didn't invite too many people, and only invited the colleagues who had a good conversation on weekdays.Everyone also understands that he will have a son when he is over half a hundred years old, and the mistress is confinement, and there is no real person in charge of the back house, so he will leave after just a glass of wine.
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors during the Chinese New Year, Lin Ruhai held the newborn baby in his arms, and respectfully added the name Lin Kun to the family tree after telling the ancestors of heaven and earth.
Jia Lian went back before the new year. Lin Yu was fine, but he was thinking about the many children he had sent back to Gusu. His name returned to Gusu.
Gusu got the news earlier, and all the colors are brand new and ready.Old Butler Lin even waited at the pier himself, and Uncle Zhang's eldest son, Zhang Cong, was waiting beside him.He was also sent to Xishan Academy this year, but the teacher in the academy said that he was not knowledgeable enough, so he was not called to end this year.
Seeing him get off the boat, Zhang Cong looked him over carefully and said, "I haven't seen you in a year, Brother Yu has grown taller." He touched his shoulder and said, "It's all here." It's a pity, now I can't hold it up!
Lin Yu then asked Uncle Zhang and Mrs. Zhang how they were. Zhang Cong said, "They are all well. I always miss Uncle and miss you too."
Speaking of this, Lin Yu recalled the news he got from Xin Zongping, and since the letter was unclear, he only mentioned a few words, and said, "I see, let me know. to visit."
Back in the mansion, Lin Yufang sighed, "It's better to be at home." Even when he was in Lin's mansion, he modified it a little for his own comfort.
Ganoderma lucidum smiled and said: "That's right, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our own kennel!" She cheerfully took a lot of things and went to find the little sister who had played well before.
Lin Yu shook his head and let her go. If Bai Shu was here, he would have to give her a few words.However, because there was no shortage of people in the Lin family, Bai Shu stayed in Yangzhou, and did not come back with him this time.On the contrary, Jing Mo, who was sent by Lin Yu to follow Lin Ruhai, came back with him this time, and he was probably talking with old housekeeper Lin at this moment!
"What about you? If you want, I'll arrange for you to meet your grandmother." Lin Yu turned to ask Su Mu, who was a little disappointed, what he wanted to do when he returned to Gusu, compared to when he was in Yangzhou. .Even if someone is watching the old concubine's house, he still has a way to send people in without anyone noticing.
Su Mu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is it possible?" But before Lin Yu could answer, he shook his head and said, "I don't have the face to see her now, it's too dangerous."
Lin Yu asked in surprise, "Are you sure? If you don't see her this year, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the next few years." Turning the year is the provincial examination, unless he fails the local examination and continues to study. Non-stop feeling that the capital will participate in the second year of Chunwei.At that time, no matter if he wins or not, he will not be able to return to Gusu for the time being.And he never thought that he would miss this possibility, unless he was unlucky to meet Lin Ruhai's political opponent.
But about this point, he naturally asked Lin Ruhai, and his cousin himself said that apart from taking over the Yan administration, he had always been a clean and honest censor in the court, and he hadn't had time to cultivate enemies.That is to say, according to Lin Yu's current knowledge, eight out of ten will be in the meeting, and the ranking is another matter.
Su Mu was cruel, but still shook his head.
Lin Yu sized him up thoughtfully, nodded, noncommittal.
At the same time, the old concubine was in the inner room.
A vigorous and strict nanny walked in with steady steps. She used to be the old concubine's personal servant girl, and she became a nanny when she grew up, never married.
With a wave of his hand, the maids and maids in the room retreated silently. Seeing that they looked skilled and orderly, they were not much worse than Lin Yu.
"What's the matter?" The old concubine asked, leaning on the couch, watching her do what she did.
The nanny stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, while whispering: "The kid from the Lin family is back."
The old concubine suddenly said: "It turned out to be him." She sighed softly, "What are you talking about, you don't know me yet, but it's just a matter of days!"
The nanny didn't speak, and after a long silence, she asked, "You haven't seen your son?"
"Where is there any other son, the real son is in the capital!" The old concubine thought of the ruthless and ruthless appearance of the Xining County King, and she couldn't see her, she snorted, "Since I didn't like it at the beginning, why bother to come here again?" Married back, ruined life. Now he is better, more capable, even his own son!"
Jin Yan didn't grow up under her knees either, it's just that he has more face than others with her mother's blood on him!Besides, she looked at it coldly, it's hard for this child to have a good heart, it's hard for him to grow up in such a place and he hasn't grown crooked, but the evil bamboo has produced good shoots.
It was for this reason that she was willing to help.Taking out the strength of my confidantes to make a bargaining chip with Lin Yu is also to find a way out for my confidantes who have been with me for so many years, otherwise after she leaves, these people will not have a serious business, so I don't know where they will all go. .
After following her all her life, she couldn't let them die.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and asked, "That kid never used that seal?" Mammy shook her head silently.
The old concubine thought about it for a while, smiled and shook her head and said, "He's a smart guy." The matter of Yanzheng was so big that it seemed that it was going to be bad, so he asked him to calm down.She also thought that if he couldn't do it, she would help him out, but in that case, she didn't dare to hand him over like this.
It's just a stamp, and her confidants naturally recognize her.
"Forget it, you go to arrange someone, just say that you will meet once, and he will naturally know." The old concubine leaned on the couch and smiled gratifiedly, "That's fine, I saw the right person, and you will have someone to rely on in the future." , even if I close my eyes, I will survive.”
Mammy paused for a moment when she was beating her hand, and said slowly: "Shut up and close your eyes, I'm not afraid of taboo."
"How old are you, still taboo about this?" The old concubine patted her hand and sighed, "I know my own body, and I have lived long enough, so there is nothing I can't bear, but I just can't let you go." .”
"Don't ask me anything else, I'm going to follow you." As if knowing that the old concubine would refute, the nun said flatly, "Anyway, you'll be lying down when the time comes, so you can't control me." Plainly It's as if he's talking about his own life and death.
The old concubine couldn't help laughing, she could vaguely see the girl's bright appearance back then, she said angrily: "It's still this unforgiving temper, one word can choke people to death."
Hearing what she said, this nanny also remembered the unfettered time when she was young, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.Looking at the old concubine who didn't know what to think on the couch, with soft eyes, she said softly: "You had a very good temper at that time." You have always been very good, even at this time, you have to worry about them. The poor man she took in.
The children that Lin Yu took in were placed in his mansion, and it can be said that there is no safety here.
Originally, he wanted to put it in Zhuangzi, but thinking about the sudden emergence of a school in Zhuangzi, which is very different from other private schools, it is too attractive.His own house has been strictly controlled since he was born, and now he is relieved to have old butler Lin watching him. The relatively closed environment is also more suitable for shaping these children collected from various environments.
Lin Yu and old housekeeper Lin stood outside the window, watching a room full of children, big and small, sitting upright and listening to the class. After watching for a while, they quietly left.
"Nowadays the Chinese language is old and old, counting the rich accountants, martial arts has talented young men to take turns to teach, it doesn't matter for the time being." Old housekeeper Lin looked at these little dolls with exceptionally soft eyes, "But this is a stopgap measure , if there are more people, we can't take care of it!"
"This batch will be sent to places that are short of people first. If there are any good seedlings, I will keep them." Lin Yu thought for a while. If possible, he hoped that his own people would be replaced in his industry. Take it easy.He also talked about the temporary loan of Jingmo to Lin Ruhai with the old butler Lin, and then said, "Although Su Mu is by my side for a while, it won't be long after all, and I didn't raise him to be a servant. Ask Grandpa Lin to worry about it."
Old Butler Lin nodded and said, "So that's the case. It's strange that he is calmer than usual. After all, he is more cautious in his words and deeds in the yamen than at home." About the servant, Lin Yu had written in the letter earlier. Said in the book, he replied, "The old man looked at it coldly for a long time, and it is really less useful, and he has to be tuned|taught."
"There's no rush." His requirements are relatively high. Even if he can't compare with Jing Mo's perceptual memory, he must be smart and reliable enough. These two points alone can screen out most of the candidates.He gestured to a place specially set up as a school, "I have compiled a new math textbook, and I will tell those who can learn it to learn first."
"As for what to teach later, it depends on personal qualifications!" Lin Yu said lightly, and then asked, "Is there anyone in the family who knows how to play games?"
Old Butler Lin didn't know why his uncle asked this question. After thinking about it for a while, Fang carefully replied: "Someone who plays on weekdays will probably understand a little bit. What do you mean?"
"If you pay a thousand dollars, you can win or lose, but it depends on your heart." Lin Yu said.
The old butler Lin shook his head honestly. No matter what kind of work is done to the top, it is a craft. Obviously, there is no such person in the Lin family for the time being.
"You mean?"
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "If there are any good ones, let's see if we can collect them. It's okay if you don't have them, just ask for nothing." Such talents are rare, and they must be kept, so as not to be fascinated by gambling. mind.In this way, which gambling house is not holding it like a treasure, just pointing at them to watch the game.
That's what he said, but Old Butler Lin still remembered it in his heart.
Speaking of it, Lin Yu was still thinking about the two skinny horses back then. A person who is specially trained to make people happy like this must be able to win or lose. In modern times, he is a successful socialite, and in wartime, he is a female spy with all kinds of charm .
However, he doesn't need it for the time being, so it's really just a whim to ask.In today's society, there is really no place for such talents to display their talents. Lin Yu also has little interest in earning money from women's blood and tears.
It's just that even Lin Yu didn't expect that the talent would come to the door automatically so soon.
The reason was the seal that Lin Yu threw into the space after playing with it once.
I met the old concubine again in the backyard of Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City.
Lin Yu himself is a person who never asks God. Although his origin is strange, it is precisely because of this strangeness that he knows where he came from and why he went. In the early years, in order to avoid the affairs of Lin Song's family, he borrowed his name and went to a temple outside the city.He never goes there on weekdays, and those who know him never invite him to go.
However, the old concubine made such an arrangement, and Lin Yu only went to visit the scenic spots to see what the current Hanshan Temple looks like.
Under the guidance of the Zhike monk, Lin Yu looked at them one by one, and there was not much difference in his heart, just a little more simple.If you pass by a Buddha statue, you should also pay your respects.Not for belief or not, just for respect.
The abbot, who accompanied the old concubine, took a look, waved away the Zhigu monk next to Lin Yu, and said with a smile after saluting: "Since the benefactor doesn't believe him, why bother to worship him?"
Lin Yu bowed twice to the majestic Buddha statue in front of him. After counting to three, he straightened his waist and said, "Xiaosheng doesn't believe this, but this does not prevent Xiaosheng from respecting his sincerity in persuading people to be good." Then, I greeted the two people who came to meet me.
The abbot froze Lin Yu for a moment, and Fang said, "This is a novelty, but it makes sense."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "At the end of the day, what Xiaosheng respects is just the reason in his heart." After a pause, he felt that it sounded a little disrespectful, so he laughed, "Don't take it to heart, Abbot, it's all Xiaosheng's nonsense. .”
The abbot said the Buddha's name kindly, and then made a salute with Lin Yu: "This means that the benefactor has a Buddha in his heart."
Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
The old concubine saw that the two of them had finished fighting, so she said, "Boy Lin, don't pay attention to him, the old monk is about to get out of the magic of meditation." As she spoke, she glanced at Su Mu behind Lin Yu, nodded, and said in her heart That's great.
The old abbot smiled and said: "It's more comfortable than you, who are not stingy." He led the two into his abbot's room in the backyard, and sat outside by himself, drinking tea and making notes, really uncomfortable.
"He and I are old acquaintances, and I will ask him to preside over the puja for me when I leave." The old concubine laughed, and the abbot outside said: "The old concubine has such a big face, I have become the abbot myself I won’t do it again after that.”
"No matter how big your face is, the old monk is not as thick-skinned. If you dare not do it, I will fall into your dreams every night and pester you so that you will not be able to practice Buddhism or meditation, and you will have no peace every day!" The abbot listened. , bowed his head and smiled silently.
Lin Yu listened to the two old men quarrel with a smile, Fang asked: "The old concubine came to see me today because she wanted to see him." He pointed to the place where Su Mu was standing outside the door.
She just smiled and said, "I know he's alive and well, what are you doing seeing him, and go on your own way in the future, I can't care about it." Knocking on the window, a middle-aged monk came in and pointed at Lin Yu He said to him, "Look carefully. See clearly, this is your future master." Lin Yu took a look, and it was the Zhike monk who brought him in before!
The Zhike monk knelt down without saying a word, and kowtowed three times to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu froze, and before he had time to stop him, everyone had already knocked him down. He got up helplessly and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have received such a big gift." He helped him up vigorously.
The monk was taken aback, unexpectedly this slender-looking young man had such strength, so he straightened up according to his intention.
"I'm curious, why didn't you use that seal?" the old concubine asked, "Lin Ruhai's situation was not very good for a while."
Lin Yu wrote lightly: "Oh, you said that, I originally planned that." As for why not use that seal, he thought for a while and said, "Although the origin is not unknown, it is not familiar at all. We don't trust each other very much, so I don't feel at ease if I use it. Besides, I have no intention of snatching the last bit of strength from an old man."
The old concubine sneered, and said, "That sounds nice, why don't you say that you are too suspicious?"
Lin Yu smiled, and said noncommittally: "It's human nature, isn't it? I don't believe it either. You didn't think that you helped once, and it would be nice if you paid back the favor of taking this guy in."
The old and the young looked at each other, and each other evoked a tacit smirk.
Of course, the old concubine's confidant was not only Zhikeseng. She led him to meet an official in the yamen—speaking of an acquaintance, although Lin Yu had never met him, he knew Lin Yu.A procuress of a brothel, and human teeth, etc., all three teachings and nine schools.
This time Lin Yu knew in advance, and when he saw someone kneeling, he wanted to support him first, but the old concubine stopped him and said, "You must accept this gift."
Lin Yu had no choice but to accept the big gifts from many people, and complained to the old concubine: "I really lost my life today."
"I don't know where you got this bad problem." The old concubine snorted, thinking that it was too late for people to be happy, but this child was weird, she took out a list and threw it to him, "These are things I have put down quietly for many years. Some of the property is for you, and the red line is for him, and you can give it to him when he can afford it."
Lin Yu didn't even look at the order, but put his backhand on the table, looked suspiciously at the old concubine, and said, "Why do I hear that the words are not quite right?"
The old concubine waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this, you can't care about your destiny, and I'll be relieved if you treat them well." Saying that, she drove Lin Yu away.
Lin Yu squinted at her, then at the old monk sitting outside drinking tea, nodded and went out with doubts.
When Lin Yu returned to the mansion, the shopkeepers of the properties on the list found themselves in Lin's mansion to take over.Lin Yu asked one by one, and those who were willing to stay continued to do it, and those who were not willing to let them go out to become rich.
After celebrating the New Year so busy, because the office will be opened on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Lin Ruhai is still waiting to use Beijing ink.Lin Yu hadn't had a good life for several years, so she packed up and was ready to leave Gusu at any time.
Seeing that the things had been packed long ago, Ling Zhi didn't see Lin Yu leaving, so she said there was something else to do, so she asked, "Master, what are you waiting for?"
Forest
However, Bai Shu, who had served his uncle since childhood, knew that Lin Yu was really in a good mood when he came back.
The appearance of the two princes and the son of the Zhen family was like a gust of wind, and they disappeared after the Yangzhou mansion. The original talk about the emperor going to the south of the Yangtze River disappeared for a while, and it seemed that they would stay until next year.The Yanzheng Yamen, which seemed to be simmering in a fire that might catch fire at any time, seemed to have been drained from the bottom of the cauldron, and the depressive atmosphere dissipated.
From the top to bottom of the Yanzheng, from the third-rank officials to the low-level officials, all of them felt that the hands stuck around their necks were much looser.It is not as wanton as before, but it is much better than the unlucky Yue Tongzhi who resigned some time ago.
Standing behind the back of the high-transfer envoy and the newcomer Cheng Tongzhi is the same person, and the two of them are naturally closer.Cheng Tongzhi, who had just lost face earlier, couldn't hold back and ran to ask the transfer envoy Gao: "Where does this Lin Ruhai sing?"
The envoy Gao Zhuanyun shook his head with a relaxed expression: "I tested him yesterday, but I just didn't pick up on it." Seeing that Cheng Tongzhi was about to attack without a wrinkle, he laughed, "But today I sent someone to check the account. It's smoothed out up and down."
Cheng Tongzhi was taken aback, and said, "Is it flat?"
"It's not flat." And it was just overnight.Gao Zhuanyun said with emotion, "If we had such a heart, why did we have to deal with him so hard." Why didn't we show this ability earlier, so that everyone can be clean.
"You said, did the superiors warn him through his nephew?" Thinking of how much the third son valued Lin Yu, he heard that when he was about to leave, he held his hand and refused to let him go. Don't let anyone see the account book, and it will all be wiped out today?" If something is found out, Lin Ruhai will be the first one who can't escape.
"No matter what, you tell your kid to pay that Mr. Lin a gift!" It was because of knowing this that Gao's fortune-telling envoy was relieved of Lin Ruhai. To be honest, he didn't really care who was sitting on the Yanzheng.When he is old, he will be able to serve in an official position in peace, and he will have enough money to allow future generations to study for the imperial examination with peace of mind.
Cheng Tongzhi smiled and said: "As long as you can keep doing well like this, don't get out of the way, and it doesn't matter if you ask me to make amends in person."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, but they didn't realize that there was an extra servant beside Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai said that day that he originally wanted to check the account books on the Yanzheng, seal them up, and send them all to the capital with secret documents.Of course, before the memorial was finished, he burned it himself.
The account book is ready-made, and it is in Lin Ruhai's study, which even Lin Yu did not guess.However, it doesn't matter what Lin Ruhai originally wanted to do. Anyway, for Lin Yu, it would be a breeze to make a new account book according to the original one without the trouble of sending someone to the Yanzheng Yamen to steal it.
Then Lin Ruhai saw the abilities of Ganoderma lucidum and Baishu. One glanced at it and calculated the result, while the other listened and disassembled the abnormal numbers bit by bit to hide them in the huge accounts.In the end, Jing Mo came on stage, and quickly transcribed a new account book by comparing the handwriting on the original account book.
"...Nephew is surrounded by talented people." After the three of them retreated, Lin Ruhai sighed with a complicated expression.However, according to his ambition, this is a good thing.
As the days passed, the people in the Yanzheng Yamen gradually felt relieved.It seems that Lin Ruhai is really no longer the "blue sky" who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Although he still doesn't take it himself, as long as others don't do too much and touch his bottom line, this Yanzheng is a good man who is as good as the light. .So, gradually, on the surface, these officials who were their masters became convinced of Lin Ruhai.
In the final analysis, they were all small pawns, and the bulk was handed over to the people behind them.But if something really happened, they would be the first to go up.Since the current Yanzheng has the ability to help them wipe out the accounts and no one can find out, isn't this a good thing?
Lin Ruhai didn't take it himself, and everyone just laughed behind their backs as a fool, and couldn't help admiring that he was really honest.
People's hearts say it's strange and it's strange, and it's not strange if it's not strange. In the end, it's just because of interests!
When the end of the year was approaching, the accounts came out, and the salt tax sent to the treasury this year was more than [-]% more than in previous years.Even now, who is sitting high in the Forbidden City, after seeing the excess gold and silver, thinking that another person might not even have this number, he acquiesced that Lin Ruhai would continue to serve as the salt administrator.
Furthermore, the Mi Zhe who came over there only said that Lin Ruhai worked hard and did not exceed the rules, let alone risking the world's dissatisfaction by contacting other forces.Therefore, there is nothing to say even now.
However, to Lin Ruhai at this time, none of these matters anymore.The most important thing is the wife who is giving birth in the delivery room. Jia Min's health has always been good. Dr. Li who is in charge of Lin's mansion also said that she has been raised healthier, and mother and child will be safe.
However, it had been three hours, and Lin Ruhai who was standing outside the yard was restless.There was no sound inside, so why didn't he worry?
No matter how good Jia Min's body was, he was a bit older after all, but Lin Ruhai didn't dare to say that, so he had to keep walking back and forth in front of the courtyard gate.
Lin Yu sighed and asked Bai Shu beside him, "How is Daiyu?"
"The eldest girl is well. She is taking a nap after lunch, and Su Lan is with her." After Bai Shu replied, she thought for a while, "I'm afraid she woke up during the rest and wanted to find his wife."
Glancing at Lin Ruhai, Lin Yu swallowed back your words about going to see Daiyu. Su Lan has always been reassuring, there is no need to send people to see Daiyu in a humbling manner.This girl is very sensitive, I am afraid that she will think that her mother is going to give birth to a little brother all at once.It was freezing cold, there was no need to hug her here.
This year, it was hard for her to get better.
Lin Ruhai listened to Lin Yu and Bai Shu's words with pricked ears, and when he heard that Daiyu was fine, he stared at the gate of the courtyard as if roots had taken root.
"It's snowing." Lin Yu's eyes suddenly felt a little wet. He raised his eyes to look carefully at the overcast sky, and said softly, "Uncle, go and avoid it first!"
Lin Ruhai turned her head and twisted a difficult smile: "Brother Yu, go and avoid it first, don't catch a cold."
Looking at his cousin's appearance, Lin Yu sighed, thinking that maybe he hadn't had a child in his previous life until his death, so now he really can't understand Lin Ruhai's mentality.
But he can't just let him stand like this, since he doesn't want to move, just surround the whole place.
With an order, the whole Lin Mansion started to move, and within a short time, a simple wooden pavilion was set up outside the courtyard gate.The charcoal basin inside was also lit, and housekeeper Lin even brought Lin Ruhai's cloak.
Bai Shu put the cloak in her hand on Lin Yu's shoulders, and she stuffed a small hand stove in her hand.He had no choice but to accept this kindness. He had been taken care of by her since he was a child. If it was fair to say, he didn't have to wait until now.
After waiting, it was midnight.
Lin Yu couldn't help being a little worried, but his excellent hearing told him that the footsteps inside were still orderly, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Turning around, he asked Bai Shu who was accompanying him, "What time is it?"
Bai Shu took out the pocket watch beside him, glanced at it and said, "Go back to the uncle, Zishi."
Lin Yu calculated and said softly, "The winter solstice is here!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion inside. Lin Ruhai was about to rush in when he was in a hurry, but was stopped by the housekeeper Lin.The butler was also getting older, so he blocked a column, how could he really stop the eager Lin Ruhai, so he looked anxiously at Lin Yu.Although I said those things to Lin Ruhai at the beginning, it was also my responsibility.Lin Yu knew it already, and he wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
Now that a whole year is almost over, Lin Butler can't help but start to rely on this young man who seems to be able to solve everything.
Lin Yu folded her hands, seeing Lin Butler's anxious eyes, she paused for a moment and reached out to hold Lin Ruhai.Although he really couldn't understand why men in the delivery room couldn't enter, but seeing Lin Ruhai's appearance of being frightened and fainting at any time, it didn't take him much effort to stop him.
However, it didn't make things difficult for Butler Lin.Lin Yu could already hear footsteps approaching from inside.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, a woman opened the courtyard door and said beamingly: "Madam gave birth to a little son, both mother and child are safe."
As soon as Lin Yu let go, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it anymore and walked inside.When Butler Lin wanted to stop him again, Lin Yu said, "Don't stop me, it's fine anyway."
The mother-in-law who was about to reach out her hand stopped after hearing this.
Not long after, Lin Ruhai blushed and was kicked out willingly.
On the second day, Lin Yu was dragged by Lin Ruhai, and the whole desk was covered with papers filled with various names. He pointed to the writing and said, "Brother Yu, which one is better?" Talking to Lin Yu about the origins and meanings of these names, I even thought about what kind of characters to match them in the future.
Lin Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, just in time to hear that Jia Lian was coming to congratulate him, so he hurriedly pushed the person to the excited Lin Ruhai, pointed out something himself, and ran away while he had time.
On the way back to his yard, Lin Yu heard so many congratulations, which made him dumbfounded.It's not like giving birth to a child by yourself, why congratulate him, it's a serious congratulation, sitting in the study and waiting!
After waiting for most of the night last night, Lin Yu, who has always had regular living habits, was also a little tired.After returning to the room, he took off his clothes and lay down for a while. When he woke up, he saw that the room was deserted. He half-repeatedly called Bai Shu, but there was no response.
Seeing Ganoderma lucidum coming in with hot water, he said with a smile, "Master is sleepy and stared, Sister Baishu has arranged for the next day's bath, and she is busy!"
Lin Yu touched his forehead and suddenly said, "Exactly." Then he asked what time it was.
"It's time for lunch, sir, get up!" Ganoderma lucidum quickly prepared the toiletries, as well as brand-new clothes, shoes and socks, all of which were just taken off the smoker cage, with a slight warm fragrance.She helped Lin Yu wash up and said, "Master Tang and Master Biao are waiting there!"
He combed his hair again, fortunately, it didn't need to be so troublesome when he was a child, just half combed and tied.
Seeing Lin Yu coming from afar, Jia Lian smiled at Lin Ruhai and said, "Brother Yu is really healthy. I don't see him wearing an extra one this winter. He just puts on a big cloak to finish the job." It was he who was sick once in Yangzhou for more than half a year.
"If you learn from him and practice martial arts for an entire hour every day, you can do the same." Lin Ruhai was still thinking of a name in his mind, and replied casually.
Jia Lian opened his eyes wide and said, "Is this so? My nephew has never seen it before." After a pause, he laughed at himself, "That's right. When my nephew got up, Brother Yu had already gone back. How could he see it! "It's strange that I have no future, let's see how talented and intelligent people work so hard, how can I compare to him who fights chickens and dogs all day long.
In the past half a year in Lin's house, Jia Lian really had some motivation to improve after listening to Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's teachings and Lin Yu's comparison.
In any case, it's better than just taking care of some chores at home.
However, this time the aunt had a son, and he had already gone to Xinfu for the first time, and he was afraid that after the ceremony there, he would follow the capital.
It didn't mean that someone at home would take care of him and not tell him to wander around all day long. If there was no one to take care of him at home, he especially cherished the feeling that someone cared about him in the Lin family.
Lin Yu saw him sighing and sighing, and when he heard what he said, she smiled and said, "What's the problem? Just tell your cousin that, and then go to the letter home and say that you should learn from your uncle to keep your eyebrows high and your eyes low." Yes, can they still do it?"
Jia Lian sighed, and said: "It's possible, but..." A blush appeared on his cheeks, and he whispered, "The people in the house are busy making an engagement for me, so I won't come back."
Lin Yu looked at his young and shy appearance in novelty, and said, "I just thought that the second brother Lian has experienced everything, why is he still shy now?" Then he laughed, "Look, you know the bride Whose?"
Jia Lian waved his hands, as if to shake off the heat on his face: "We grew up as brothers and sisters, and there is nothing to shy away from. We are girls from the Wang family." Names are not easy to say in front of outsiders, although He didn't know that Lin Yu knew almost better than him.He pretended not to care and said, "It's too early to say that the bride is too early. I will start preparations this year. After Nacai, name asking, Najib, Nazheng, and the period of invitation are all gone, the time to really greet her in person is indispensable." Wait until the next year. Sooner or later, you will have to suffer like this."
"Second brother Lian said it's too early, let alone me, let alone me." Lin Yu chuckled. Although it is common to get married early these days, it is not out of the ordinary for men to wait until they are in their twenties.He has made up his mind, let's talk about it in ten years!
Jia Lian shook his head in disapproval, jokingly said: "It's getting late, when you turn over the years and get the body of a man, the matchmaker will have to step through the threshold of this mansion, I'm afraid you will be dazzled by then."
"What are you afraid of? I just said that I will wait until I have won the Jinshi." Lin Yu didn't care, and said, "Besides, these people can still walk in front of me. They have to stop them outside."
Jia Lian laughed when she heard this, and said: "That's true. People like us don't need to pick and choose from these low-level people, even if they are official media? Who is a girl from a really good family who is not the elders? To ventilate, I’m asking a matchmaker to come and go through the motions.” As he spoke, he sighed, “It’s just that even though I’m not needed, it doesn’t look like I’m not there, I can’t stay here in Yangzhou.”
That being said, Lin Yu didn't look reluctant when he looked at him. It was true that he couldn't bear to be here, and it was true that he was looking forward to getting married.
Lin Yu sighed inwardly, for the past half a year, although Jia Lian still acted like a dandy in Lin's mansion, whenever he saw something good outside, he would bring him a portion, and he would keep a mouthful of delicious food, especially if he was walking outside. Protect, really treat him as the protector of a crystal heart and glass person, Lin Yu accepts his love.It's just that he himself is willing to this kind of marriage, and it involves the marriage of two families, even if he is not willing, he cannot tolerate his willfulness.
Unless Lin Yu can find him a better family than the Wang family, there is no way to destroy this marriage.And this point, even Lin Yu is unable to do it now.
Lin Yu seems to be in a good mood now, but all of this is superficial.I didn't see that he was actually cautious in everything he did, and he wouldn't move unless he was fully sure. After getting Lin Ruhai's power, he got better, but he still didn't bring out many things.
That's why he was in a hurry to take the imperial examinations. Only when he was appointed as an official and stood up as an adult, could many plans be carried out.
At that time, including his marriage, it will be the real marriage between the two families, not one-sided favor and support.
On the day of the third wash, Lin Ruhai didn't invite too many people, and only invited the colleagues who had a good conversation on weekdays.Everyone also understands that he will have a son when he is over half a hundred years old, and the mistress is confinement, and there is no real person in charge of the back house, so he will leave after just a glass of wine.
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors during the Chinese New Year, Lin Ruhai held the newborn baby in his arms, and respectfully added the name Lin Kun to the family tree after telling the ancestors of heaven and earth.
Jia Lian went back before the new year. Lin Yu was fine, but he was thinking about the many children he had sent back to Gusu. His name returned to Gusu.
Gusu got the news earlier, and all the colors are brand new and ready.Old Butler Lin even waited at the pier himself, and Uncle Zhang's eldest son, Zhang Cong, was waiting beside him.He was also sent to Xishan Academy this year, but the teacher in the academy said that he was not knowledgeable enough, so he was not called to end this year.
Seeing him get off the boat, Zhang Cong looked him over carefully and said, "I haven't seen you in a year, Brother Yu has grown taller." He touched his shoulder and said, "It's all here." It's a pity, now I can't hold it up!
Lin Yu then asked Uncle Zhang and Mrs. Zhang how they were. Zhang Cong said, "They are all well. I always miss Uncle and miss you too."
Speaking of this, Lin Yu recalled the news he got from Xin Zongping, and since the letter was unclear, he only mentioned a few words, and said, "I see, let me know. to visit."
Back in the mansion, Lin Yufang sighed, "It's better to be at home." Even when he was in Lin's mansion, he modified it a little for his own comfort.
Ganoderma lucidum smiled and said: "That's right, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our own kennel!" She cheerfully took a lot of things and went to find the little sister who had played well before.
Lin Yu shook his head and let her go. If Bai Shu was here, he would have to give her a few words.However, because there was no shortage of people in the Lin family, Bai Shu stayed in Yangzhou, and did not come back with him this time.On the contrary, Jing Mo, who was sent by Lin Yu to follow Lin Ruhai, came back with him this time, and he was probably talking with old housekeeper Lin at this moment!
"What about you? If you want, I'll arrange for you to meet your grandmother." Lin Yu turned to ask Su Mu, who was a little disappointed, what he wanted to do when he returned to Gusu, compared to when he was in Yangzhou. .Even if someone is watching the old concubine's house, he still has a way to send people in without anyone noticing.
Su Mu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is it possible?" But before Lin Yu could answer, he shook his head and said, "I don't have the face to see her now, it's too dangerous."
Lin Yu asked in surprise, "Are you sure? If you don't see her this year, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the next few years." Turning the year is the provincial examination, unless he fails the local examination and continues to study. Non-stop feeling that the capital will participate in the second year of Chunwei.At that time, no matter if he wins or not, he will not be able to return to Gusu for the time being.And he never thought that he would miss this possibility, unless he was unlucky to meet Lin Ruhai's political opponent.
But about this point, he naturally asked Lin Ruhai, and his cousin himself said that apart from taking over the Yan administration, he had always been a clean and honest censor in the court, and he hadn't had time to cultivate enemies.That is to say, according to Lin Yu's current knowledge, eight out of ten will be in the meeting, and the ranking is another matter.
Su Mu was cruel, but still shook his head.
Lin Yu sized him up thoughtfully, nodded, noncommittal.
At the same time, the old concubine was in the inner room.
A vigorous and strict nanny walked in with steady steps. She used to be the old concubine's personal servant girl, and she became a nanny when she grew up, never married.
With a wave of his hand, the maids and maids in the room retreated silently. Seeing that they looked skilled and orderly, they were not much worse than Lin Yu.
"What's the matter?" The old concubine asked, leaning on the couch, watching her do what she did.
The nanny stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, while whispering: "The kid from the Lin family is back."
The old concubine suddenly said: "It turned out to be him." She sighed softly, "What are you talking about, you don't know me yet, but it's just a matter of days!"
The nanny didn't speak, and after a long silence, she asked, "You haven't seen your son?"
"Where is there any other son, the real son is in the capital!" The old concubine thought of the ruthless and ruthless appearance of the Xining County King, and she couldn't see her, she snorted, "Since I didn't like it at the beginning, why bother to come here again?" Married back, ruined life. Now he is better, more capable, even his own son!"
Jin Yan didn't grow up under her knees either, it's just that he has more face than others with her mother's blood on him!Besides, she looked at it coldly, it's hard for this child to have a good heart, it's hard for him to grow up in such a place and he hasn't grown crooked, but the evil bamboo has produced good shoots.
It was for this reason that she was willing to help.Taking out the strength of my confidantes to make a bargaining chip with Lin Yu is also to find a way out for my confidantes who have been with me for so many years, otherwise after she leaves, these people will not have a serious business, so I don't know where they will all go. .
After following her all her life, she couldn't let them die.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and asked, "That kid never used that seal?" Mammy shook her head silently.
The old concubine thought about it for a while, smiled and shook her head and said, "He's a smart guy." The matter of Yanzheng was so big that it seemed that it was going to be bad, so he asked him to calm down.She also thought that if he couldn't do it, she would help him out, but in that case, she didn't dare to hand him over like this.
It's just a stamp, and her confidants naturally recognize her.
"Forget it, you go to arrange someone, just say that you will meet once, and he will naturally know." The old concubine leaned on the couch and smiled gratifiedly, "That's fine, I saw the right person, and you will have someone to rely on in the future." , even if I close my eyes, I will survive.”
Mammy paused for a moment when she was beating her hand, and said slowly: "Shut up and close your eyes, I'm not afraid of taboo."
"How old are you, still taboo about this?" The old concubine patted her hand and sighed, "I know my own body, and I have lived long enough, so there is nothing I can't bear, but I just can't let you go." .”
"Don't ask me anything else, I'm going to follow you." As if knowing that the old concubine would refute, the nun said flatly, "Anyway, you'll be lying down when the time comes, so you can't control me." Plainly It's as if he's talking about his own life and death.
The old concubine couldn't help laughing, she could vaguely see the girl's bright appearance back then, she said angrily: "It's still this unforgiving temper, one word can choke people to death."
Hearing what she said, this nanny also remembered the unfettered time when she was young, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.Looking at the old concubine who didn't know what to think on the couch, with soft eyes, she said softly: "You had a very good temper at that time." You have always been very good, even at this time, you have to worry about them. The poor man she took in.
The children that Lin Yu took in were placed in his mansion, and it can be said that there is no safety here.
Originally, he wanted to put it in Zhuangzi, but thinking about the sudden emergence of a school in Zhuangzi, which is very different from other private schools, it is too attractive.His own house has been strictly controlled since he was born, and now he is relieved to have old butler Lin watching him. The relatively closed environment is also more suitable for shaping these children collected from various environments.
Lin Yu and old housekeeper Lin stood outside the window, watching a room full of children, big and small, sitting upright and listening to the class. After watching for a while, they quietly left.
"Nowadays the Chinese language is old and old, counting the rich accountants, martial arts has talented young men to take turns to teach, it doesn't matter for the time being." Old housekeeper Lin looked at these little dolls with exceptionally soft eyes, "But this is a stopgap measure , if there are more people, we can't take care of it!"
"This batch will be sent to places that are short of people first. If there are any good seedlings, I will keep them." Lin Yu thought for a while. If possible, he hoped that his own people would be replaced in his industry. Take it easy.He also talked about the temporary loan of Jingmo to Lin Ruhai with the old butler Lin, and then said, "Although Su Mu is by my side for a while, it won't be long after all, and I didn't raise him to be a servant. Ask Grandpa Lin to worry about it."
Old Butler Lin nodded and said, "So that's the case. It's strange that he is calmer than usual. After all, he is more cautious in his words and deeds in the yamen than at home." About the servant, Lin Yu had written in the letter earlier. Said in the book, he replied, "The old man looked at it coldly for a long time, and it is really less useful, and he has to be tuned|taught."
"There's no rush." His requirements are relatively high. Even if he can't compare with Jing Mo's perceptual memory, he must be smart and reliable enough. These two points alone can screen out most of the candidates.He gestured to a place specially set up as a school, "I have compiled a new math textbook, and I will tell those who can learn it to learn first."
"As for what to teach later, it depends on personal qualifications!" Lin Yu said lightly, and then asked, "Is there anyone in the family who knows how to play games?"
Old Butler Lin didn't know why his uncle asked this question. After thinking about it for a while, Fang carefully replied: "Someone who plays on weekdays will probably understand a little bit. What do you mean?"
"If you pay a thousand dollars, you can win or lose, but it depends on your heart." Lin Yu said.
The old butler Lin shook his head honestly. No matter what kind of work is done to the top, it is a craft. Obviously, there is no such person in the Lin family for the time being.
"You mean?"
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "If there are any good ones, let's see if we can collect them. It's okay if you don't have them, just ask for nothing." Such talents are rare, and they must be kept, so as not to be fascinated by gambling. mind.In this way, which gambling house is not holding it like a treasure, just pointing at them to watch the game.
That's what he said, but Old Butler Lin still remembered it in his heart.
Speaking of it, Lin Yu was still thinking about the two skinny horses back then. A person who is specially trained to make people happy like this must be able to win or lose. In modern times, he is a successful socialite, and in wartime, he is a female spy with all kinds of charm .
However, he doesn't need it for the time being, so it's really just a whim to ask.In today's society, there is really no place for such talents to display their talents. Lin Yu also has little interest in earning money from women's blood and tears.
It's just that even Lin Yu didn't expect that the talent would come to the door automatically so soon.
The reason was the seal that Lin Yu threw into the space after playing with it once.
I met the old concubine again in the backyard of Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City.
Lin Yu himself is a person who never asks God. Although his origin is strange, it is precisely because of this strangeness that he knows where he came from and why he went. In the early years, in order to avoid the affairs of Lin Song's family, he borrowed his name and went to a temple outside the city.He never goes there on weekdays, and those who know him never invite him to go.
However, the old concubine made such an arrangement, and Lin Yu only went to visit the scenic spots to see what the current Hanshan Temple looks like.
Under the guidance of the Zhike monk, Lin Yu looked at them one by one, and there was not much difference in his heart, just a little more simple.If you pass by a Buddha statue, you should also pay your respects.Not for belief or not, just for respect.
The abbot, who accompanied the old concubine, took a look, waved away the Zhigu monk next to Lin Yu, and said with a smile after saluting: "Since the benefactor doesn't believe him, why bother to worship him?"
Lin Yu bowed twice to the majestic Buddha statue in front of him. After counting to three, he straightened his waist and said, "Xiaosheng doesn't believe this, but this does not prevent Xiaosheng from respecting his sincerity in persuading people to be good." Then, I greeted the two people who came to meet me.
The abbot froze Lin Yu for a moment, and Fang said, "This is a novelty, but it makes sense."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "At the end of the day, what Xiaosheng respects is just the reason in his heart." After a pause, he felt that it sounded a little disrespectful, so he laughed, "Don't take it to heart, Abbot, it's all Xiaosheng's nonsense. .”
The abbot said the Buddha's name kindly, and then made a salute with Lin Yu: "This means that the benefactor has a Buddha in his heart."
Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
The old concubine saw that the two of them had finished fighting, so she said, "Boy Lin, don't pay attention to him, the old monk is about to get out of the magic of meditation." As she spoke, she glanced at Su Mu behind Lin Yu, nodded, and said in her heart That's great.
The old abbot smiled and said: "It's more comfortable than you, who are not stingy." He led the two into his abbot's room in the backyard, and sat outside by himself, drinking tea and making notes, really uncomfortable.
"He and I are old acquaintances, and I will ask him to preside over the puja for me when I leave." The old concubine laughed, and the abbot outside said: "The old concubine has such a big face, I have become the abbot myself I won’t do it again after that.”
"No matter how big your face is, the old monk is not as thick-skinned. If you dare not do it, I will fall into your dreams every night and pester you so that you will not be able to practice Buddhism or meditation, and you will have no peace every day!" The abbot listened. , bowed his head and smiled silently.
Lin Yu listened to the two old men quarrel with a smile, Fang asked: "The old concubine came to see me today because she wanted to see him." He pointed to the place where Su Mu was standing outside the door.
She just smiled and said, "I know he's alive and well, what are you doing seeing him, and go on your own way in the future, I can't care about it." Knocking on the window, a middle-aged monk came in and pointed at Lin Yu He said to him, "Look carefully. See clearly, this is your future master." Lin Yu took a look, and it was the Zhike monk who brought him in before!
The Zhike monk knelt down without saying a word, and kowtowed three times to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu froze, and before he had time to stop him, everyone had already knocked him down. He got up helplessly and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have received such a big gift." He helped him up vigorously.
The monk was taken aback, unexpectedly this slender-looking young man had such strength, so he straightened up according to his intention.
"I'm curious, why didn't you use that seal?" the old concubine asked, "Lin Ruhai's situation was not very good for a while."
Lin Yu wrote lightly: "Oh, you said that, I originally planned that." As for why not use that seal, he thought for a while and said, "Although the origin is not unknown, it is not familiar at all. We don't trust each other very much, so I don't feel at ease if I use it. Besides, I have no intention of snatching the last bit of strength from an old man."
The old concubine sneered, and said, "That sounds nice, why don't you say that you are too suspicious?"
Lin Yu smiled, and said noncommittally: "It's human nature, isn't it? I don't believe it either. You didn't think that you helped once, and it would be nice if you paid back the favor of taking this guy in."
The old and the young looked at each other, and each other evoked a tacit smirk.
Of course, the old concubine's confidant was not only Zhikeseng. She led him to meet an official in the yamen—speaking of an acquaintance, although Lin Yu had never met him, he knew Lin Yu.A procuress of a brothel, and human teeth, etc., all three teachings and nine schools.
This time Lin Yu knew in advance, and when he saw someone kneeling, he wanted to support him first, but the old concubine stopped him and said, "You must accept this gift."
Lin Yu had no choice but to accept the big gifts from many people, and complained to the old concubine: "I really lost my life today."
"I don't know where you got this bad problem." The old concubine snorted, thinking that it was too late for people to be happy, but this child was weird, she took out a list and threw it to him, "These are things I have put down quietly for many years. Some of the property is for you, and the red line is for him, and you can give it to him when he can afford it."
Lin Yu didn't even look at the order, but put his backhand on the table, looked suspiciously at the old concubine, and said, "Why do I hear that the words are not quite right?"
The old concubine waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about this, you can't care about your destiny, and I'll be relieved if you treat them well." Saying that, she drove Lin Yu away.
Lin Yu squinted at her, then at the old monk sitting outside drinking tea, nodded and went out with doubts.
When Lin Yu returned to the mansion, the shopkeepers of the properties on the list found themselves in Lin's mansion to take over.Lin Yu asked one by one, and those who were willing to stay continued to do it, and those who were not willing to let them go out to become rich.
After celebrating the New Year so busy, because the office will be opened on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Lin Ruhai is still waiting to use Beijing ink.Lin Yu hadn't had a good life for several years, so she packed up and was ready to leave Gusu at any time.
Seeing that the things had been packed long ago, Ling Zhi didn't see Lin Yu leaving, so she said there was something else to do, so she asked, "Master, what are you waiting for?"
