Chapter 71 Broken Face
A few more days, the price of silver unexpectedly rose to 1,000 yuan per liang, and the major silver shops were still in short supply, and they were out of stock one after another. Many rich families took this opportunity to save money and made a lot of money. When Tao learned about it, he regretted that he had not listened to Lin Jinrong's advice: "If I had known this, I should have stayed. If you stay, you won't lose if you don't go up and sell? What did I think at that time? Third Master Lin was also blamed: "That bastard is in my way, so I have to worry about it everywhere, so that I can't even think about it!" Seeing that she was annoyed and angry, Lin Jinrong couldn't help laughing secretly: "You don't listen to me..."
Tao was upset and splashed cold water on Lin Jinrong: "Although you guessed that the price of gold and silver is going to rise, look at the saline land you bought. Didn't you say that it must become a good field? I heard from Ah Quan that there should be no movement in three or five years! Even if it is changed to a person who is keen on farming, he may not be willing to bring water to this area!"
Lin Jinrong wanted to tell her that this land is really a matter of nailing nails on the board, but on the thought, the matter of buying silver to pay tribute has been said by himself. Coupled with a matter of saline land, it is difficult for others to have no doubts. It's better to keep a low profile and be more stable. So he just smiled and said, "I said it's a practice, and I'm not straight. How can I guess everything? And it's not completely hopeless. If you keep it, it will always become a good field.
"That's right. I bought it all. Anyway, it didn't cost much. Keep it and have a look." Dow sighed and began to go crazy again: "Why was I so confused at that time? With so much gold and silver, at the current price, I can give you a complete set of the most decent red sandalwood furniture.
Lin Jinrong's heart suddenly softened like Wang Chunshui. He gently hugged Tao's waist, buried his head in her arms, and whispered, "Mom, I want you and your sister and brother to be fine. I don't care about the rest. I will never be able to earn all the money. More useful, less useful. This time
Tao was stunned for a moment, smiled suddenly, hugged Lin Jinrong and said to Gong's mother and others: "Look at what you said, let me... ah..." With that, the corners of his eyes were wet and muttered, "My mother, I didn't raise you for nothing."
Lin Jinrong looked up and smiled at her: "My mother didn't make any money. Are you angry and crying?"
"You girl!" Tao slapped Lin Jinrong's buttocks angrily, and Lin Jinrong shouted exaggeratedly. In the middle of the bustle, Xia Ye said outside the curtain, "Madam, my aunt's house is coming to pick up the young master, waiting to kowtow to you."
Didn't Lu Yan say that he would stay here for another month? Why did the Lu family send someone to pick it up now? Tao was stunned, let go of Lin Jinrong, got up and sat upright, squeezed his temples, and said, "Come in."
The curtain hit, and it was Lin Yuzhen's confidant, Mother Fang, who came in.
Mother Fang is only the same age as Aunt Huang, but she is more old-fashioned because she is a tuber. Wearing a semi-new blue silk dress, with a cyan pleated skirt, and a nest of silk with a bright double strand of gold hairpin, it looks a few years older than Aunt Huang.
Lin Jinrong glanced at Mother Fang and lowered her eyes. She had countless exchanges with Mam Fang in her previous life and knew the nature of this person - she followed Lin Yuzhen and could clearly convey Lin Yuzhen's will, but with a smiling face that was not afraid of beating and pretending to be naive, she tried to make it clear that she was just a preacher, as a slave, and minimize others to her. The bad feeling. Strictly speaking, he is not a traitor and evil person, but he is not a person who can rely on trust. Therefore, Lin Jinrong didn't have a good impression of the other party, but he didn't hate it.
Msang said hello to Tao and Lin Jinrong with a smile on her face. She presented a dark worship box with both hands and said, "My wife didn't know that my uncle's Zhuangzi was near here before, just as the second young master had always lived in Mr. Zhu's house. Yesterday, I knew that the second young master was ignorant. He had bothered his uncle for so long, and he felt really sorry. Let the old slave send this thank-you gift and thank my uncle for taking care of the second young master for so long. Speaking of this, she paused slightly and stared at Dow's expression, "It's about to take the exam. My wife is afraid that the second young master will play too much and waste his studies. She asked the old slave to pick him up and send him to Taiming Mansion to adapt first."
So Lu Yan lived here, but he didn't let Lin Yuzhen know at all? Imcomprehensible? Sorry to bother her for so long? Abandoned your studies? What do you mean? When she rushed up to lick people! Dow suddenly became angry and didn't let people pick up the worship box. He sneered and said, "My aunt, you're welcome. What are you? If it hadn't been for my boy who happened to meet Lu Min who fell into the water and saved him with good intentions, I wouldn't have known that their master and servant would have studied at Mr. Zhu's house. I didn't dare to keep him here, but he felt the wind and cold. If my aunt didn't pay attention, they would say that I was cruel to do it..." The second young master actually fell into the water? The second young master is a talkative person, and he never likes to talk more. How can he not mention the short-lived longevity at all? Mother Fang was so shocked that she even forgot to pretend to be naive.
Tao looked at her surprise, and was more and more sure that Lu Yan didn't say anything to Lin Yuzhen. It's really funny that the mother and son have reached this point. I wanted to add another sentence, "If Lu Yan has a long and short, I'm afraid your wife will cry again and won't forgive me, saying that I killed her." When the words came to his mouth, he thought that the child was not annoying. Why curse him, so he threw a hard sentence: "It's not me who forced him to live with me. If you want to take it back, just take it back and take it away. I don't run an inn! It's so funny!"
Take good care of relatives, but have such an end. No one will be uncomfortable, not to mention the Dow, who can't rub the sand in his eyes. Although Mammy Fang felt that Tao's words were unpleasant and merciless, she knew that she was wrong, but she just smiled: "My uncle is laughing, my uncle is laughing. Our wife is really grateful to her uncle. She wanted to thank her in person, but she had something to do at home and couldn't..."
"Mother Fang, you're welcome. My mother and I believe in kindness. Not to mention our relatives, even cats, dogs and beggars fall in front of my house when they are sick, and we have to give them a bowl of food." Lin Jinrong inserted coldly. She knew what Lin Yuzhen's reaction would be. It was nothing more than thinking that Lu Yan was a treasure. All the girls squeezed their heads and dug out their minds to marry him. Or, if Lu Yan did not do well in this exam, he would never forgive anyone.
Mother Fang looked at Lin Jinrong in surprise. Lin Jinrong was dressed in a goose-yellow roe, a pleated skirt with emerald green embroidered gardenia flowers, and silver-red embroidered shoes under his feet. His face was white and red, and the corners of his lips were smiling. A pair of beautiful long eyebrows unfolded. His eyes were bright, and there was no intention of timidity, and
Miss Lin's appearance is simply reborn compared with half a year ago. No wonder Aunt Huang will say that she is awesome. Mother Fang praised secretly, and she was a little suffocated. Good little girl, why is her mouth so damaged? However, after all, you can work with your wife. The girl may not like the second young master, otherwise how could she speak so unscrupulously? Thinking of this, Mam Fang no longer said much, but put the worship box in the tea** with a smile.
Chunya shouted at the door, "Madam, the young master is here."
Lu Yan came in, glanced at Mammy Fang faintly, squeezed out a smile at Tao, and saluted down: "Auncle, thank you for taking care of you for a long time, which has caused you a lot of trouble. My nephew is going now. I don't know what my aunt has to tell me?
"If you go, take the exam well, so that no one will blame you for living with me for delaying your studies." Tao waved to him angrily, still feeling unlucky.
"Yes." Lu Yan lowered his eyelashes and was silent for a moment. He looked at Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong did not look at him. He pointed to the worship box and said, "Mother Fang, remember to take this away."
Msang Fang said awkwardly, "Four girls, don't embarrass the old slave..."
Lin Jinrong looked at her and smiled as if he didn't hear it: "Mother is going to go back right away, right? I won't leave a meal for fear of delaying you. Then he ordered Litchi: "Help Mother Fang put this on the car."
Mam Fang's face turned red. She didn't want to do such a thing that offended her, but who would do it if she didn't do it? If you want to say a few more soft words to ease, Lu Yan has turned his head out and said, "Let's go."
Mother Fang had to salute with a simple smile and chased out quickly. Litchi followed closely, hugged the worship box, and the conductor moved all the gifts brought by Mother Fang back to the Lu family's car and went straight back to the house. The carriage started and no one saw him off. Only Miao Ya and Tie Er Niu stood in the shade of the tree and watched all the time. Tie Erniu wanted to go forward to greet Lu Yan several times, but when he saw that his face was pale and obviously afraid of his extreme longevity, he finally gave up.
This time, the face between Dow and Lin Yuzhen was torn.
Tao was sulking with a calm face. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became. Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Well, I persuaded you at that time, and I said that I couldn't provoke you. You still don't believe it."
Dow said angrily, "I'm really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs!" In the future, his family will die of illness in front of me and cry and beg me. I don't even bother to look at it.
Gong's mother advised, "Madam, this is unreasonable for her. Why do you have to have the same knowledge with her? When it comes out, people will only say that she doesn't know kindness. Why are we angry?"
"That's right, is it worth it? Don't waste your energy. Just don't deal with his family in the future!" Lin Jinrong stood up with a smile, "I'll ask someone to clean up the west-cross courtyard and get rid of bad luck!"
Tao was depressed for a while. When she got a letter from the Tao family in Qingzhou, she learned that although her gold and silver had never been sold at a high price, she also got a good price - at the beginning, she only wanted one or two silver for more than 50 yuan, and she was already very satisfied with the price of 850 yuan, but Tao Shun It's twice as expected. How can it not be happy?
Lin Jinrong was even happier. She also received a letter from Tao Fengtang to her. Tao Fengtang was a trustworthy person. She really exchanged her gold for silver and left it for a recent hand. Calculated, she actually sold 1,020 dollars for one or two pieces of silver! She began to miss the thousands of saline land in the west of Pingzhou. Although she doesn't have that financial resources at present, her appetite is not that big, and she doesn't want to eat it all, but she always has a foundation.
