Chapter 051 Bleeding
The top and bottom of the Lin family learned that Lin Zimo had been promoted to the county prime, so they came to the front hall to congratulate him. I asked Yang Mengqi to distribute red envelopes to them separately, which was a joy to everyone. After giving away the reward, he looked at the house deeds, land deeds, land deeds and various gifts left by Wang Fugui. After a rough calculation, it should not be less than 3,000 taels of silver.
Lin Zimo is the place where Wang Fugui is shrewd. He not only sent things that men like, but also things that women like. Lin Zimo believes that he should have done such things less. After all, he found that he was very experienced.
Lin Zimo told Cailian to put the jewelry and rouge gouache sent by Wang Fugui on the table first, and said in apologetically, "I have married you for so long that I haven't given you similar objects. Since someone thinks of it for me, I will borrow flowers to present Buddha. You two choose what you like. Mengqi first, after the cold dew.
Chu Hanlu, who was so happy, came over first. He put his right index finger into his little mouth and carefully browsed the pile of items. She thinks that everything is good and has never seen it, so she can't pay attention to it for a while.
Yang Mengqi, who was not anxious, sat on the chair next to Lin Zimo and said with a shallow smile, "Since the little girl likes it very much, my father-in-law still let the little sister Hanlu choose first, and I will take it later."
"If you are a husband, do what you want." Lin Zimo looked at her with approval, then turned his eyes to Chu Hanlu and smiled, "Your sister Yang loves you, so I will let you choose first."
Chanlu, who smiled with open eyes, turned around and looked at Yang Mengqi and said, "Thank you, Sister Yang. I know you love Hanlu the most."
"What about me?" Lin Zimo pretended to be cold and added, "Should you also thank me?"
Chu Hanlu's face was full of excitement and said happily, "Thank you, Brother Zimo. I know you're the best for me!"
"Your girl's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Lin Zimo, who took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "Don't take much. You can only choose ten pieces of jewelry and five sets of rouge gouache, and the rest are your sister Yang's.
Chu Hanlu clicked her head hard and chose it carefully. She has been suffering since she was a child. Naturally, she can't stand this pile of good things, so it took a lot of time to choose her own things. However, her dark eyes are still reluctant to belong to Yang Mengqi.
"You should know what greedy snake swallows elephants." Lin Zimo saw her thoughts and said, "Little girl, don't be greedy, or I will cut the amount that belongs to you."
Chu Hanlu, who was born to love beauty, turned around and pouted his little mouth and said, "Brother Zimo, they know."
Lin Zimo said 'It's good to know', and then continued to taste tea. Yang Mengqi, who got up, walked to her side and took her little hand and said, "You still like those things here. Tell your sister."
Chu Hanlu raised his hand and pointed to the jewelry and rouge powder three times. Yang Mengqi gave her the three things she pointed out, and then attracted Cailian standing not far away to his side.
Yang Mengqi picked up a beautifully made pure gold hairpin and handed it to her hand and said, "Serve your master well."
"I know." Cailian's knees quickly knelt on the ground, raised her hands and took her hairpin and said, "Thank you for your reward. The maidservant will definitely serve the second lady well and will never let her be wronged at all.
"Very good." Yang Mengqi sent Cailian and Chu Hanlu down with a smile and said, "You go down first. I have something to discuss with the master."
The two little girl said 'yes', and then walked down happily. Cailian, who had just walked out of the front hall for two steps, couldn't wait to insert the pure gold hairpin into his hair. She never dreamed that she would get such a good object, and her heart was full of gratitude to Yang Mengqi. As for Chu Hanlu, who was divided into many good things, he happily returned to his room and began to be ugly in front of the bronze mirror.
"Fare, is it appropriate for you to accept so many valuable gifts?" Yang Mengqi said his worries.
Lin Zimo said disapprovingly, "What's wrong with it? I believe that Wang Fugui is not a fool, and he has already made careful calculations. If Zhang Chi is still in charge of Pingnan County, he will definitely let him take out more property. The things I collect from him should still be less. Except for the 500 taels of silver, my wife put away the rest of the things without worry.
"Since the father-in-law said so, the slave family has to do what you want." Yang Mengqi said yes.
Lin Zimo, who got up, walked to her, took her right hand and praised her for what she had done: "My wife is really smart and virtuous and good at governing the family. I can give this family to you with peace of mind.
"Facon, are you a strange slave?" Knowing that Yang Mengqi was full of grievances.
"My wife is too careful." Lin Zimo rubbed the back of her hand, shook his head, and said solemnly, "To govern the family also requires both grace and prestige. There is nothing wrong with your behavior, so I fully support you.
"I have some misunderstandings about my father-in-law." Yang Mengqi hurriedly explained, "The reason why I give more things to the little girl is that I really like her sister. She is so pure and scheismless that it is difficult for me to dislike. As for the hairpin given to Cailian, it is to make up for your father-in-law's jokes with her a few days ago. I think she is really scared by you. Until now, she was scared to death when she saw Wang Qiang.
"It seems that I'm too careful." Lin Zimo said in a reproachful voice, "The wife is still thoughtful."
Yang Mengqi, who was smiling and said nothing, just looked up at him and didn't answer. I am very happy to get my husband's approval. She is full of wanting to be Lin Zimo's assistant. After all, she knows that he has enough business and doesn't want to distract him anymore because of trivial matters at home. Yang Mengqi wants to do his job well in order to support him to devote himself to business.
"There are 30 satins here to make new clothes for you." Lin Zhimo gently patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't spoil that little girl too much. After all, that's not good for her. I don't want you to wrong yourself too much.
"I can't wear so many silk clothes." Yang Mengqi shook his head and said anxiously.
Lin Zimo laughed and said, "You all try to wear and wear hard for me. Anyway, you can do whatever you want.
Yang Mengqi, who feels happy and sweet, feels that he is soaked in honey. Lin Zimo and she were warm for a while before they separated. He continued to do his own business, so he called Wang Qiang and asked him to invite Zhao Wenxuan to discuss something. Wang Qiang's whole body was probably better, and his legs and feet were much more flexible. After receiving his order, he turned around and left.
Lin Zimo, who was sitting in the front hall, was not idle. Before Zhao Wenxuan arrived, he received two more groups of gentry and businessmen who gave him gifts. The things they sent included silver, fields, silk, cloth, antiques... Lin Zimo, who did not refuse, received it all. He doesn't want to live up to the "goodwill" of this large group.
"What's the matter with my brother?" Zhao Wenxuan saw that his front hall was full of all kinds of gifts.
"Choose what you like." Lin Zimo said generously, "Don't be polite to me. Now that we have paid homage, we have both blessings and difficulties. If you don't want it, I just need someone to carry it all for you.
Zhao Wenxuan, who doesn't know what to do, refused: "These gifts are all from others to congratulate my brother on his promotion. How can I take it?"
Lin Zimo, who got up, pointed to 500 taels of cash sent by Wang Fugui, a good knife sent by Zhao, bamboo leaf green from ten altars sent by Mr. Liu for 30 years and so on, "Wang Qiang, find someone to send him all these things."
"Master, I know." Wang Qiang stood sideways next to the pillar and silently remembered it in his heart.
"Hey... Brother, you are..." Zhao Wenxuan, who seemed to be a little helpless, wanted to speak and stopped.
Lin Zimo walked to his side, reached out and grabbed his left wrist, and smiled, "You and I are brothers, so don't be so raw. Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about. There are also some things that women use for home use, and even if you ask me for them, they won't be given to you. I have given it to the two beauties in my family first.
Wang Qiang, standing on the side, suddenly interrupted three words and said, "Lord Zhao, just accept the master's heart!" In today's Pingnan County, you and the master can be described as people who can cover the sky with one hand. I really can't see who dares to go against you.
"You don't have to be big or small, and there are no rules. Are these also what you can say?" Lin Zimo's face darkened and scolded.
Wang Qiang immediately lowered his head, stood still and silently, quietly listened to his master's scolding.
"Brother, don't be angry." Zhao Wenxuan persuaded with a smile on his face, "I'll take it."
"That's right." Lin Zimo smiled and said, "Let's sit down for tea and talk about the recruitment by the way."
He clearly instructed Zhao Wenxuan what to do or what to do. Don't be kind to this group of gentry and merchants because they gave him some small gifts. The defense of Pingnan County cannot be slack at all. After all, this is the most important thing. Lin Zimo had to wrong him to sing white face, and he sang red face himself. His purpose is very clear, which is to make them "bleed". Wang Qiang, who stood aside to serve, always kept absolutely quiet and never dared to interrupt.
