The Landlord And His Wife

Hearing Miss Song asking him to wait a moment, Liu Lin stopped.

Miss Song smiled and said directly what she thought: "Now no one in our house is coming forward, my father is ill, and my mother can't control these things at all, only me When a woman comes forward, she is naturally worried that she will meet someone like the one who rented the shop before, son... If you want to rent this shop, Master Liu, it doesn't matter if you are a few months later... It can be considered... Do us a favor."

Liu Lin thought about it for a while, and said, "You tell me to go back and think about it, it's just too late today, wait for tomorrow... the day after tomorrow, I'll come and reply to Miss Song the day after tomorrow, how about it?"

Miss Song agreed, nodding happily.

It was getting dark, Liu Lin was a good man and sent Miss Song home by the way.

Hanlin Mansion is also a very famous family in Feng County. However, the people in the Hanlin Mansion have always been relatively low-key, unlike the Gu family's publicity.

From the outside of the mansion, I couldn't see any changes in the Hanlin family, but when Liu Lin sent Miss Song home, he could see that some places were not the same as usual. Miss Song wore a large scarf when she went out, covering her head and face. When she arrived at the gate of the house, the nanny went up to pat the door and knocked hard for a long time, before a slow voice asked, "Who is it?" The voice was very old.

"Open the door, Miss is back." The nurse said angrily.

After a while, the door opened, and an old man ten years older than the wet nurse came out to look, frowned and said slowly: "Why did you come back? It's dark, it's out of order... Young lady should be more peaceful."

The nanny rolled her eyes, Miss Song and Liu Lin smiled and said goodbye, Liu Lin nodded and watched her go in, then turned around and walked back.

It's strange, since all the servants have been dismissed, why do you still keep such a big house and those old people who can't work? From the outside, it really doesn't look like a fallen family. Besides, such a big mansion, if it is defeated, it will be defeated?

Xiaobei was a servant in a big family, but he knew a little bit and said: "Second Young Master, don't you know, the more big a family is, the faster it will fall! Think about it! Well, there are dozens of people in the family who have to eat every day. Those masters are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas. Even if they know the family is having a hard time, they can’t change the habit for a while! But the family is almost at a loss. If there is any major event at this time, and you have to pay for it, it will not be able to turn around... Since the Hanlin family has already been dismissed, it is obvious that they have no family background. already."

Liu Lin said strangely: "Then why don't you sell the house? So a big house is worth a thousand and eight hundred taels."

I used to be rich and rich, and I always wanted to have a day to turn around, and that big mansion is like an identity. If I keep it, I can still keep some of the face of a big family, and I can still communicate with some people who are in the right household. But if the house is sold, it seems to have sold the last bit of hope, and from now on, it will only be able to sit and eat, and it will become more and more degraded, and it will never be possible to turn over again."

Liu Lin suddenly realized this.

"As for the old servants of the old man and the grandmother, this is the case with the big families of the generation. Those people must be people in the last two or three generations. Said, it is the grandparents who served Miss Song, or the generation of great-grandfathers and grandfathers. Such people have lived in the mansion for a certain period of time, and they have more face than some young masters! Didn't you hear? Who opened the door? The old man also thinks that the young lady has no rules! These people cannot be dismissed, not only can they not be dismissed, but they have to serve them like elders and support them until they die."

Liu Lin made an 'ah' and shook his head. In fact, the old man has been serving the people in the house for many years, and he has nowhere to go when he is old. He's not a bad person, and he has a good heart. I was just surprised that the old man came to open the door just now, and he actually told Miss Song a lesson. After listening to Xiaobei's words, he felt a little incredible. The rules of this big family are really elusive.

Speaking, we have arrived home, and all the family members have come back to eat together.

The next day, Liu Shu's brother-in-law, Shao Huai, got married, Liu Shu went to help, and seeing that Liu Lin was all right, he pulled him too. Mr. He was preparing a few days ago, prepared some congratulatory gifts, and asked Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang to help.

Liu Xuer was going to help, but unfortunately Shicheng's parents came back the day before, and Shicheng's mother asked her to go home to talk and chat.

The willow tree is also called father, mother and sister. They don't have to worry about it.

So I went to the willow tree and the willow forest, taking Tian Yu and other servants. When they were walking, Liu Lin and Liu Shu discussed and talked about the shop in general. How about asking? set?

The willow tree pondered: "Do you really want to open it next year? The problem is that we will take the county exam in February, and after that, there will be the prefectural exam and the academy exam. The exam will last until April or May."

Liu Lin nodded and said, "I have also counted it, whether it is possible to take the exam in the Kaofu Examination Institute in February, it will not be delayed, the shop will always have to be repaired, not to mention that we open a Silk shop, the shop can't be too shabby inside, it will take two months to repair it. After the exam, go to Songjiang Prefecture to stock up, it will be available at the end of May, and it will open in June, just in time for the changing season."

Willow pondered for a while, even if there is no exam, opening a silk shop will take time to repair and stock up, and then nods after thinking about it: "Alright, anyway, you have been preparing for two years. , it should be fine."

The two of them calculated the money spent on opening a silk shop. These years of doing business are quite a lot. Their family's property is not thin now, and it is not a big problem to open a silk shop.

The two negotiated almost the same, and they also arrived at Shao's house.

Shao Huai's marriage was originally scheduled for August this year, but because of an accident in the Shao family before, and then the woman's family repented again, Shao Huai asked someone to make peace, and finally added The dowry of some things is the only way to set things up. Shao Huai is also afraid that there will be many dreams at night, and the date of marriage will be the last day of October.

Shao Huai is also because her future daughter-in-law is good. Although her family objected, she was at least wholeheartedly. Shao Huai could not bear the anger and added something to her greedy husband and mother-in-law. Bring back your daughter-in-law.

Because the Shao family has a rift with Lizheng, the villagers are also worried that they are too diligent with the Shao family, and Lizheng dislikes his own family, so many people avoid it, Shao Huai is married, come here Not many people help.

Yang Youbang was also not afraid of being honest, and brought a few young men to help here. When it was auspicious, everyone and Shao Huai went to greet the relatives.

The marriage of Yang Youbang and Shao Gui is also roughly said, Yang Youbang's mind is not only known to Shao Huai, but also to his family. The only scruple is because of the Shao family and Li Zheng The family was filthy, but after the Shao Rong and Liu Shu affairs were settled, the Shao family also had a backstage, and the Yang family nodded when they saw it.

Not many people came on this day, but it was a lively and happy event.

Liu Shu didn't talk to Shao Rong all day, and finally saw Shao Rong idle and went to her own room, Shao Gui was busy in the kitchen again, so he hurriedly followed house.

"Shao Rong!" Entering the room, it happened to block Shao Rong who found a tray and took it out.

As soon as Shao Rong saw it was him, he blushed first, then took a step back and blushed: "I... just came to get a tray, why did you come in? It was seen... "

Willow laughed: "What if we saw it, we didn't do anything."

Shao Rong's face was slowly reddening, but when he heard this sentence, he instantly turned red. Liu Shu was standing at the door, just blocking her from getting past. Shao Rong didn't dare to go over for a while, and took a step back subconsciously: "What the **** is wrong with you?"

Willow thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's nothing, you hide from me all day, I want to talk to you."

"What is there to say..." Shao Rong lowered his head and whispered.

Willow thought for a while, and finally found a question, and asked: "I just want to ask you...Is there nothing in Lizheng? Did the little son come near your house? "

As soon as Shao Rong heard it, he was really serious, and he shook his head and replied: "No, Lizheng is also a bully and afraid of hardship, now I know..."

"What do you know?" Willow asked knowingly.

Shao Rong's face turned even redder, stomping her feet in a low voice: "Hurry up and get out of the way! I'll get the tray, my aunt knows, if I don't go out for so long...I, I…"

Seeing her flushed face, anxious and shy, Liu Shu couldn't help but be moved, but he couldn't do anything, to be honest, he was also thin-skinned and embarrassed, and he was honest, even if he blocked When I saw Shao Rong, I didn't know what to do for a while. There were people coming and going outside, and there were always people talking in a very close place. Liu Shu thought about it and said with a smile, "Then you don't have to talk to me? It's okay to talk... If you have something to say, talk about it now.”

Shao Rong blushed and stomped: "I'm fine... tell you!"

Willow smiled and could only move away.

Shao Rong passed by him, looked up at him again, and said with a blushing face: "Don't worry, my sister and I are not going out now, and my brother has not been at Huadi for the past two months. Live, they all live at home, no one dares to make trouble... When my sister-in-law enters the door and there are more people in the family, it will be... all right. "

Willow nodded, and naturally put her hand on her shoulder and said softly, "Okay."

Shao Rong went out with a blushing face.

I was busy at Shao's house all day, and the brothers came back with a few servants in the evening.
