Chapter 179: Reaction Three
"You mean that Lin Zhu is going to the capital?" Li Dabai looked at Dong Jisheng in disbelief. He had already planned how to deal with Lin Zhu, "Then what should I do? The business is like this because of her.
." Although the Li family's rice shop business has been eliminated, several rice shops have revived and taken away most of the business.
"Why are you anxious? She is gone, but her Zhuangzi is still there. If you pick a fight with her again after this period of limelight passes, she will be out of reach even in the capital." While Dong Jisheng gave Li Dabai a bad idea,
In fact, he also wanted to relieve his hatred on his own. Being threatened and humiliated by Lu Mingtao of Muyue Trading Company was a hurdle that he could not get over in his heart. Someone had to accept his anger.
"Hmph, that's ten thousand taels of silver. I've given her a free advantage. Brother Dong Xian will help me when the time comes and I must recover this loss. And in these days, I have lost a hundred thousand taels."
"I definitely can't let her off lightly." But Li Dabai never thought that if he hadn't stayed safe now, Muyue Trading Company would have collected all his money. But when he knew it, it was already too late.
, this is something for later.
"Mom, I heard that the country girl is leaving?" Dong Yuyao was extremely happy since she heard that Lin Zhu was leaving.
"Well, that's what your father said. What's wrong?" Ms. Liu asked while dressing up in front of the mirror.
"Humph, that Dong Yuzhen, I don't know what kind of benefits I have gotten since I met this country girl. Not only her face is better than before, but her figure is also better." Dong Yuyao was very jealous. Dong Yuzhen's face was not only better than her before.
, and it’s better than the one on Dong Yuyao’s face now.
Her skin is also much better. It looks almost breakable, her whites are pink and crystal clear, and her body is perfectly developed, with bulges where they should be and curls where they should. And she is taller than her.
Much taller. Among the many official ladies, she was the first to attract attention.
"It's just for a while. Don't you remember that she felt better for a while when she was a child? But within two years, if you look again, it will be miserable again." Ms. Liu didn't believe that just Lin Zhu could cure Dong Yuzhen's stubborn illness.
It's better forever.
"That's true." Dong Yuyao nodded after thinking for a moment.
"Don't worry, Mom will dress you up beautifully and find you a husband that everyone will envy." Mrs. Liu touched her daughter's little face and looked at the face that was very similar to her own.
She was very proud. It was with this face that she held Dong Jisheng firmly in her hands. Now that her daughter is getting older, she is more like her, and she will definitely hold her husband in her hands in the future.
"By the way, mother, you said those things you saw over there that day were not given to them by that country girl, right?" Dong Yuyao said with some suspicion.
"How is that possible? How can a country girl have so much money? That pearl necklace must be worth a few hundred taels. Why is she trying to give her such an expensive thing all at once? She's not a fool." Mrs. Liu said in her daughter's speech.
The gentleness and generosity in front of Dong Jisheng were completely gone, revealing a philistine look.
"But... before that Lin Zhu gave Dong Yuzhen silk flowers made in-house." That incident made Dong Yuyao jealous for a long time.
"Are you serious?" Mrs. Liu didn't care about Lin Zhu at first. She didn't know about this person until she caused the Li family to suffer huge losses.
"Well, I personally watched her take it out and give it over there." Dong Yuyao nodded and said.
"Hey, that's not possible. I heard from your father that her family has an imperial doctor who lives there. Maybe that person gave it to her. She, a country girl, definitely doesn't have that much money. Although the mother and daughter had a vague feeling,
Something is wrong. But I still firmly believe that Lin Zhu cannot have too much money.
"That string of pearl necklaces, your father said, as soon as someone asks him to do something, he will ask for it and give it to mother. When the time comes, mother will give it to you as a dowry. You will be very proud to wear it in the future."
Mrs. Liu's words made Dong Yuyao so happy that she kept surrounding her and calling her mother sweetly. Both of them were addicted to the fantasy.
However, after several days, there was no sign of Mrs. Lin asking Dong Jisheng to do anything. Mrs. Liu became a little undecided. Could it be that someone really gave Mrs. Lin free gifts?
Finally, she couldn't hold it in any longer and asked Dong Jisheng, "Master, hasn't my sister come to beg you yet?" At the end of the year, many people would invite the magistrate to have a drink and dinner, so Dong Jisheng would return drunk almost every day.
Home.
Mrs. Liu came to ask him just when he had just returned home and the drunkenness had not dissipated. "Please? No." He waved his arms and was supported by the housekeeper and walked towards Mr. Liu's yard. "Even if he comes to ask me for help, please
, neither can I
Talking to her, huh, the Lin family won't get any glory at all." His complaining look made some servants around him see it and take it to heart, which put Mrs. Lin and her two children in a terrible situation.
It's a little more subtle.
"By the way, you want that pearl chain, right?" Although he was very drunk, Dong Jisheng seemed to have a spiritual aperture still open and remembered the wish he had made to Liu.
"Master, let me help you go back to rest!" If she doesn't go back, I don't know how many people will know that she covets the wife's things.
"It's okay, there's no need to go back. Master, I'll go get it for you right away." After saying that, he wanted to walk to Mrs. Lin's yard. "Master, I'm telling you, and I'm only telling you, there will be an opportunity after the year
The master is going to work in the capital, haha, you can also go to the capital by then." Dong Jisheng was talking happily as he walked.
"Really? Master, you won't lie to me, right?" Mr. Liu always dreamed of entering Beijing.
"Shh, shh, shh, don't tell anyone." Dong Jisheng still knew to keep it a secret at this moment, and it seemed that he was not completely drunk. Mrs. Liu didn't want Mrs. Lin to know about this, and she didn't bother to force the pearl.
She took off the necklace, and together with the housekeeper and her personal maid, they helped Dong Jisheng into his room.
"He really said that?" In Mrs. Lin's house, a servant stood in the flower hall and reported to Mrs. Lin what happened between Dong Jisheng and Liu yesterday. Mrs. Lin frowned after hearing this, "I understand.
You go down first. Mother Zhao will give her some silver coins."
"Thank you, madam." The servant took four or five peanut-shaped silver locks from Mother Zhao's hand and walked away quietly. He kept thinking, who said that the eldest lady is not good here, you are really blind.
Mrs. Lin sat on a chair, meditating alone. If Dong Jisheng went to the capital to serve, his official position would definitely not be high at first. With his current financial resources, buying a house in the capital might be considered reluctant. However, he could not take all the money.
When you buy a house, you definitely have to take care of it.
At this time, Mrs. Lin also had to think about her two children. She could no longer use her body and soul to support Dong Jisheng as stupidly as before. She should think of a way to pretend to be poor. She would have to do it when she arrived in the capital.
When it comes to finding a famous teacher for her son, her daughter doesn't have to worry about it. After all, she has Chang's mother by Lin Zhu's side.
While Mrs. Lin was making plans for herself, Ms. Liu was also thinking about how to arrange things if she really went to the capital. She knew exactly how much money the family had. Buying a house and housing the big family would make her rich.
She was rich and wealthy, but she didn't want Lin to go with her. But she was also afraid that her eyes would be darkened when she arrived in the capital, and she would
It was a joke that it would be better if Lin was there to support her. After thinking about it, she came up with a good idea. Use a little money to buy a larger house near the capital and let Lin take people to live there.
Let me rent it to others in the capital, and actually buy a smaller house, and they can live here. Wouldn't that be enough?
Ms. Liu's ideals are very full, but the reality is very skinny. If she really did this, she would be the one living in that big house.
I don’t want to talk about the plan of these two people. I just want to say that after Dong Jisheng sobered up, he learned that he had said everything he said while drunk. Although he regretted it a little, he just persevered to the end and hoped that he would take the same path.
It works.
"You mean Dong Jisheng is going to be a capital official?" Li Dabai of the Li family listened to the new news from Butler Li.
"Yes, the people in his house heard it with their own ears." Butler Li bowed and said.
"Then why didn't he mention it to me?" Li Dabai felt a little uncomfortable and said to himself, Dong Jisheng, Dong Jisheng, I have spent so much money on you, and you even hide this kind of thing from me, huh, if there is no benefit,
How did you go to the capital? At least you have to settle the matter with me about that country girl! Isn't she going to the capital? It just so happens that you are going too. If you can't teach her a lesson, don't expect me to give you another penny!
On the other hand, at the headquarters of Muyue Trading Company in the capital, Lu Mingtao was talking to shopkeeper Du about the news that Lin Zhu was coming to the capital.
"Sir, did you say Miss Lin is coming?" Shopkeeper Du was deeply impressed by Lin Zhuke.
"Well, I have bought a piece of land in Xiaolinzhuang, seventy miles south of the capital. I sent you to clean it up. The house there must be built before she comes." Lu Mingtao ordered lightly.
"Master, isn't it a little far there?" Shopkeeper Du asked in confusion.
"Haha, shopkeeper Du still didn't see Miss Lin's temperament. She is eager to get better and better away from the capital." Lu Mingtao thought of Lin Zhu's unhappy expression when he mentioned the capital, which was a little funny. Because she didn't want to get involved.
The Zhang family still lives with the Chang family, so he deliberately chose a place so far away for her, but she is destined to be entangled with the Chang family. That land used to belong to the Chang family.
Shopkeeper Du didn't quite understand this. "How should Zhuangzi cultivate it properly?"
"Later, I will give you a picture. This is her yard in Linjia Village. You can decide what to do with it. Find a suitable place in the capital and buy her a house that can accommodate thirty or forty people.
." Lu Mingtao ordered again.
"Yes, then I'll send someone to do it right away." Shopkeeper Du certainly understands the importance of Lin Zhu to Muyue Trading Company, so he handles things for her quickly and quickly. (To be continued. If you like this work
