Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Lin Yuan never thought that there would be a day when he would see Brother Chen again. After all, he still remembered the night when the original owner and Brother Chen were separated. Face, only know to listen to his words and run away immediately.

Whenever he thinks of Brother Chen, Lin Yuan can't help but sigh.

Goodbye now, with both joy and emotion, he let go of the hand he held with Brother Jiang, and walked straight towards Brother Chen, his expression not tense for a moment, either happy or sad, his expression was very complicated.

"You're still alive." Lin Yuan took a deep breath, never thinking that there would be a time when Brother Chen wanted to see him alive.

When he transmigrated to this world, the fact that Brother Chen blocked the refugees alone gave him a big shock.

Brother Chen didn't seem to respond on the surface, he just looked at Lin Yuan with a good look, and his expression was a little dazed.

I haven't seen you for almost three years, and the young master has become different from before.

"Boss?" The burly man who came next to him called out suspiciously.

Why did the boss of my family even recognize her when he accepted an escort job?

Brother Chen raised his hand, and the man immediately shut up.

He looked at Lin Yuan with complicated eyes, and finally started to move slowly. The servant always kneeled down when he saw his master.

After three years of not kneeling, he was not used to it.

However, before he knelt down, Lin Yuan had already grabbed his shoulders - on tiptoes, with a smile on his face: "I really didn't expect that, let's go, I'll take you in and have a look, it's all about me established industry."

After finishing speaking, he almost dragged Brother Chen in, his expression was so natural that Brother Chen was in a trance for a moment.

The people behind also followed in.

The sight is a patch of fertile fields. Men and women are working in the fields, and the seeds will be planted in the spring. Everyone is very busy during this time, but people have smiles on their faces, wipe their sweat with their hands on their hips, and occasionally rest. Go to make a cup of cool white tea that has been dried, and look around, in addition to the shed and Zhuangzi, there is also a large and amazing coffin-like house, which is three stories high, without any fancy decorations, flat and flat, called Brother Chen and the others All a little shocked.

"Not bad?" Lin Yuan finally felt a little proud. He said, "We meet again after a long absence. I will take you to meet Erliang and his family. They are all in the village, and your mother is also here."

Then Lin Yuan turned to Brother Jiang and said, "Brother Jiang must have been tired after traveling through mountains and rivers for so long. We can talk about business tomorrow. I'll ask someone to take you down to rest and wash."

Brother Jiang is not a person without eyesight, he nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry about me, delaying for a few days is not a big deal."

Brother Chen's mother is Lin Yuan's wet nurse. She is now helping out in the back kitchen. Other than that, she is preparing to deliver babies to pregnant women.

Everyone couldn't believe it when they saw Brother Chen.

After all, none of them thought that the cow egg could survive.

When Erliang saw Brother Chen, he squeezed out a few drops of cat urine from the corner of his eyes, sniffed his nose vigorously, and wiped his tears with the back of his hand. After the tears on his face dried up, he felt panicky pain again.

The servants of the Lin family also surrounded Brother Chen excitedly, asking him what he had experienced in the past few years, especially Brother Chen's mother, seeing her son still in front of her, she had never heard of tears. Brother Chen hugged his mother's shoulder helplessly, seeing her crying on his shoulder.

Then Brother Chen roughly talked about his experience in the past few years.

It turned out that the group of refugees did not intend to kill them at that time, but were just looking for food. As a result, there was not a grain of food in the car except for the dry food for the journey. The dry food was only enough for an adult man to eat for two or three days.

When they found that there was nothing to eat, the refugees dispersed, and Brother Chen survived.

He had no money on him, and he didn't know where Lin Yuan and the others fled to, so he could only find a place to shelter.

Finally he stopped in a field.

He lives by hunting, probably because of his good skills, many people gathered around him unconsciously.

After having people, they live in no fixed place like bandits, and live by robbing bandits.

To sum it up, Brother Chen now has a group of people in a wild place. He himself took over the job of escorting merchants this time, so he brought out the most capable men under his command. In the end, he encountered a few gangs of bandits and had to escape first. After entering the mountains and getting lost, he brought Jiang Guang here.

Lin Yuan touched his chin: "I always feel that there is God's will in the dark, and it is God who told us to reunite."

The nurse nodded vigorously: "Exactly!"

Father Lin also said at the same time: "Since they are all here, they will definitely stay in the future. They are always a family!"

Brother Chen said, "I still have quite a few brothers outside."

He is also a big man now, and he always has to take care of the livelihood of his brothers.

At this time, Lin Yuan didn't answer the conversation. He hadn't been dazzled by the joy of reunion. What's more, the source of his feelings for Brother Chen was nothing more than the memory of the original owner. He hadn't seen him for three years. What is Brother Chen like now? He has no idea about the people.

And judging from his tone, the people under his command are all bandits, and if they dare to rob bandits, their combat effectiveness must not be weak.

If he rashly let Brother Chen bring those people in, if something goes wrong... Even if he wins, the people he cultivated with great difficulty now will definitely pay a lot, and he can't afford that at all now cost.

Brother Chen stood up. Three years ago, he was only a little taller than Lin Yuan, but now standing next to Lin Yuan, he was almost a head taller than Lin Yuan. No matter what, he should be 1.8 meters tall.

"Don't bother you, I naturally have my own way." His expression was stern, showing such a different reaction.

That was an aura that he had cultivated after countless battles with bandits.

Father Lin swallowed, and knew that the cow egg in front of him was no longer the cow egg he used to be, so he said in a timely manner: "Since I'm back, I still have to stay for a few days. Besides, you and Yuan'er haven't seen each other for a few years. There is always something to say."

The nanny held her son's arm. After so many changes, she didn't look like someone in her forties. She was originally a nanny in the Lin family, and her food and clothing were better than ordinary people. She didn't age so fast. , but now she looks no different from someone in her 50s.

White hair and goose skin, wrinkles on his face and neck, and age spots even appeared on the back of his hands.

Ever since she found out that her son was missing, her energy had long since disappeared. If she hadn't had to wait on her master, she might have long since disappeared.

The nanny was a widow. After she became pregnant, her husband died in a fight in the field. However, people on both sides felt that the other side had occupied more of their own land. From the initial quarrel, it gradually escalated into a fight. The other side came down with a hoe. She lost her husband.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law couldn't bear the blow of losing their only son, and they passed away within a month one after another.

She was pregnant and had nowhere to go, but Mrs. Yang heard about her and told her to go to the Lin family to raise a baby. It happened that there was also a girl in the Lin family who was pregnant. When the child was born, if the milk was insufficient, she could still baby.

The nanny just stayed at the Lin family for more than ten years.

"Buffalo." The nanny called her son's nickname, and reached out to touch his face. With tears in her eyes, she touched his facial features and arms over and over again.

Brother Chen's sleeves were rolled up by the nanny, revealing his arms full of scars, including knife wounds and scars from blunt objects, which looked extremely hideous on his arms.

The nanny bit her lip: "How much suffering..."

Brother Chen smiled at the nanny: "Mom, it's just a small injury, it's not life-threatening, so it's not suffering."

The nanny touched the scars carefully: "Does it still hurt?"

Brother Chen: "It's been gone for a long time."

That night, everyone in the Lin family had a family dinner together, while Brother Chen's subordinates went to the cafeteria to eat with the people in the village.

The family banquet was quite sumptuous. Lin Yuan specifically asked the kitchen to kill two chickens and three bamboo rats, and made egg custard, fried some wild vegetables that only in spring, and took out the rice wine that was seized by the bandits last time.

Father Lin faces south and sits at the head of the dining table. He doesn't care about anything now, and he can live a good life with his son. He laments that he gave birth to a good son, who is much better than his friends.

Now those old friends of his don't know where they are wandering.

Did he find the son he sent out, or has he become a refugee?

Father Lin also thought about it before, but after thinking about it for two days, he put it behind him.

Anyway, other people's affairs have nothing to do with him. Want to ask him to find someone?That is definitely impossible.

"Yuan'er is growing up now." Father Lin took a sip of rice wine and sighed comfortably, "I have enjoyed Yuan'er's blessing."

The servants below said flatteringly: "My lord, this is the blessing of the past life, and this life is to enjoy the blessing."

Father Lin laughed loudly: "I feel the same way!"

There was a lot of joy at the banquet, but Lin Yuan turned his head to look in Brother Chen's direction from time to time. He hadn't seen him for three years. This man has matured, which is also a little unpredictable.

Brother Chen was comforting the nanny: "Mother, if you miss me, come with me, and I will not let you live a hard life."

The nanny asked in a daze: "Go? Where are you going?"

Brother Chen: "Naturally go to my village...where I am."

The nanny shook her head quickly: "I'm not going anywhere, Niudan, you also stay here, you forgot, you have been with the young master since you were a child, our mother and I were saved by the master and madam, and people will repay their kindness."

She has lived in the Lin family for more than ten years, and has long regarded the Lin family as her own home.

The master is not very tempered, the wife is a kind person, the young master is capable, and this village still has a city wall. Because she is old, she has been taken care of and has not done any heavy work. Now that her son is back, she is nowhere to be seen. don't want to go.

Brother Chen couldn't make sense with the nanny, but turned around to find Lin Yuan looking at him.

He looked at Lin Yuan, not knowing what it was like.

He has a responsibility to his brothers, and he is also loyal to the young master who grew up with him.

But loyalty and righteousness have never been difficult to have both.

After the banquet was over and everyone was full, Lin Yuan stood up and walked in front of Brother Chen, and patted Brother Chen on the shoulder: "Let's go out and talk."

Brother Chen didn't refuse either, and walked outside with Lin Yuan. It was dark now, and the cold wind was still blowing in early spring. Lin Yuan tightened his cotton coat, but found that Brother Chen was not afraid of the cold wind at all in his thin shorts.

"Don't you feel cold?" Lin Yuan asked curiously. They are all made of meat. No matter how you are not afraid of the cold, there will not be such a big difference?

Brother Chen smiled: "I'm used to it."

"Master, how have you been these past few years?" Brother Chen suddenly asked, "At that time, I wanted to catch up with you, but I didn't know where you were going."

Lin Yuan felt that he needed a lonely cigarette very much at this time, and then pretended to say a few words full of philosophy of life, but unfortunately there was no condition for him to pretend at the moment, so he could only say: "At that time, I and the two The two fled to Wucheng, lived in a ruined temple outside the city, penniless, and found out the 200 taels my mother hid on me to get through the crisis."

"Don't talk about me, what about you? Are you the owner of the village now?" Lin Yuan's ears are sharp. When he heard Brother Chen say the word Zhai just now, he immediately thought of Zhaizi. Since he has a group of brothers in his hand, he must have a place to stay. In this place, relying on robbing the surrounding bandits to make a living is actually not a good way, it can only be said to be cornered.

Brother Chen looked at the night sky: "Actually, at that time, I thought I couldn't live anymore, young master, but people always want to live. Every day is a day."

"That's right." Brother Chen said suddenly, "There is a gentleman in the village who gave me a new name. It's not easy to keep calling me Niudan."

Lin Yuan couldn't hold back and laughed.

Think about it, every time the village owner goes out, a bunch of younger brothers behind him say: "Brother Niudan! Come back safely!" I feel very happy.

There is no momentum at all.

Lin Yuan asked, "What has been changed?"

Brother Chen said, "Chen Bosong."

Lin Yuan: "This name is good, Bo Song has a good meaning."

Chen Bosong smiled.

"You still want to leave here?" Lin Yuan said suddenly, "Nurse won't leave."

Chen Bosong is also having a headache because of this: "My mother..."

In fact, Lin Yuan still hoped that Chen Bosong would stay. After all, he was the playmate of the original owner since he was a child, and he has relatives here. It is better to be a brother than not a brother to the original owner. If he really asked him to leave, Lin Yuan also felt regretful.

"Is there enough food in your village?" Lin Yuan asked.

Chen Bosong didn't pretend to save face, he nodded and said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't come out to pick up escort jobs, usually I don't pick up."

Merchants have money, and they want to do business even if the world is in chaos, and when the chaos gets worse, the prices will rise a lot, especially food and medicinal materials, both of which are huge profits.

After all, after not seeing each other for three years, they met suddenly, and the two parties were still a little strange.

Especially Lin Yuan, although he has memories about Brother Chen, but these memories belong to the original owner, and he has not inherited the original owner's feelings.

Chen Bosong looked at Lin Yuan: "Master, you have grown up."

Lin Yuan was taken aback: "It sounds like you are much older than me."

Chen Bosong was only a few months older than Lin Yuan.

Chen Bosong didn't speak, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. The young master in his memory had never grown up, had a kind heart, was gentle with everyone, and couldn't bear to see the suffering people in front of him.

If people in this world were like this, there would be no troubles, no wars, no displaced people.

Master has changed.

Chen Bosong stretched out his arm and patted Lin Yuan's shoulder.

Nothing in this world is static, everyone is changing.

It's just that some people are fast and some people are slow.

Lin Yuan said: "Since you still have brothers outside, I won't force you to stay. I will take good care of you, nanny. If you have anything to do, just come to me. If you can, I will."

He will repay Brother Chen's life-saving grace to the original owner—although it seems that he couldn't save it.

"Master..." Chen Bosong looked at Lin Yuan with a smile in his eyes.

Sure enough, no matter when, the young master will always be the young master.

After the excitement of the long-lost reunion subsided, Lin Yuan had a rare good night's sleep. In his dream, he seemed to see the original owner smiling at him.

The next morning, when the sun was shining, Lin Yuan crawled out of the bed, walked into the house with basins on both ends, and helped Lin Yuan to wash and wash. Lin Yuan's hair is very long. Haircuts, but usually minor trims.

In the Tang Dynasty, the word "haircut" already existed.

"Two Liang, help me cut my hair by the way." Although Lin Yuan's hair volume is not too much, it grows too fast. It is already very long. In addition, it has not been trimmed for three years, and a black hair can reach as long as it falls. thigh.

Er Liang tied Lin Yuan's hair, and said, "Young master's hair is so good, what can you do with cutting it? It's black and smooth, so you don't need to cut it."

Lin Yuan: "It's too troublesome. It takes time to wash and groom every day."

Because of their long hair, the ancients seldom washed their hair, and they didn’t have a hair dryer. Generally, they didn’t wash their hair when the weather was cold. It’s common to not wash their hair in autumn and winter. Yuandu mixed plant ash with water to wash his hair.

Lin Yuan discovered that many people in Zhuangzi had not washed their hair for a long time, and the oil clogged their hair follicles, and many of them became alopecia areata.

——The trouble of hair loss is really present in any era.

While combing Lin Yuan's pain with a comb, Erliang said, "I see Brother Chen is very different from three years ago."

Thinking of the current Brother Chen, he said excitedly, "I'm more manly! I will grow up to be like Brother Chen in the future!"

Erliang, a half-hearted young man, was yearning for Brother Dao in the past.

Even if I personally experienced Brother Dao's foot odor, I didn't change my mind.

Now that someone more in line with his aesthetics came, he immediately abandoned Brother Dao.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then you have to work harder, eat more, and do more work."

Erliang: "I have strength now."

After tidying up his hair and changing his clothes, almost half an hour had passed since he woke up.

Sure enough, long hair is inconvenient, and Lin Yuan dare not cut it too short. After all, those with short hair are either monks returning to vulgarity or criminals who have been sentenced.

Lin Yuan went to see Jiang Guang first.

Jiang Guang is a businessman who has no fixed residence and no family. However, he has a wide network of contacts, which is why he dares to travel in this season.

"Jiang, I sell everything." Jiang Guang sat cross-legged with Lin Yuan, with breakfast on the table, and said with a smile, "In addition to medicinal materials, I also sell food. If there is a shortage of people, people can also be sold."

Lin Yuan asked, "Where are the sword and horse?"

Jiang Guang's smile changed instantly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked simple and honest with a little cleverness: "Although there are, but the price..."

Lin Yuan didn't even need to think about it, he knew that the price must be too high.

"Money is not accepted." Jiang Guang said, "At this time of the year, only silver and gold are accepted."

The so-called money is the banknotes issued by the Yuan Dynasty, which has become waste paper and is only useful in relatively stable towns, but the amount is getting bigger and bigger. Not much food.

Lin Yuan can also understand, after all, in a country in modern Africa, inflation can only buy a pair of slippers when it reaches hundreds of millions.

But he doesn't have much gold and silver now, Yang Zi'an took most of the silver away, and the gold is only Yang's jewelry.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Yuan really didn't want to use Yang's stuff.

But the good thing is that the Lin family used to have a big business, and the jewelry that Father Lin bought for the Yang family was all made of real gold and silver, without gilt or tin gold, and everything was worthy and not light on value.

"Brother Jiang." Lin Yuan said suddenly, "Although there is no gold or silver, I have something else here."

Jiang Guang didn't understand, so he raised his head. Without gold and silver, how can we talk about business?Merchants seek profit, and this has been the case since ancient times.

Lin Yuan: "What do you think of this thing?"

Jiang Guang heard the sound and looked, but saw Lin Yuan take out something.

It was a huge piece of jade that Jiang Guang had never seen in his life. The whole body was pure white, and it was very transparent. Fei, it's hard for folks to see, Jiang Guang swallowed, his eyes glowing.

Lin Yuan was relieved to find that Jiang Guang didn't notice it.

Of course this jade is not real, it was made by Chen Banxian and his group, and I don't know how they learned to fake the stone by asking them to research a recipe for explosives.

Of course, the texture of artificially priced jade cannot be compared with real jade, but they are meticulously made. In this era without professional equipment, it is almost invincible if analyzed by naked eyes and hands. No one can see it. It took them all over the mountains to find it, and they spent a month working on this piece alone.

Originally, Lin Yuan was worried that jade would lose its value now, but looking at Jiang Guang's eyes, he knew that there was still a market for this thing.

No matter how chaotic the world is, the princes and nobles at the top will still enjoy themselves, and they will not know how to be afraid unless the knife is on their necks.

"This thing..." Jiang Guang, "How precious!"

Lin Yuan: "This thing also fell into my hands by chance and coincidence. If you want to exchange it for Brother Jiang, you have a cart full of medicinal materials. Is it more than enough?"

Jiang Guang looked at Lin Yuan: "Jiang is not worth a car for telling lies against Mr. Lin."

"I still want to change some more horses." Lin Yuan said.

Jiang Guang stroked his chin: "A few years ago, it would have been enough for ten horses, but now, I can only accept three."

Lin Yuan didn't care about this either, it was a pure profit if he could get it in exchange, anyway, as soon as this "fake jade" came out, Chen Banxian had gained experience and became more and more proficient in counterfeiting.

But jade is still valuable, and only for this period of time.

Of course, you can get as much as you can.

"Brother Jiang is really a joyful person." Lin Yuan raised his teacup, "I'll toast Brother Jiang with tea instead of wine."

Jiang Guang also raised his teacup. He had already thought of who he would sell to after he got the jade.

Both Lin Yuan and Jiang Guang were secretly happy.

Chen Banxian and the others didn't know that their workload would increase again.
