That night, the men of the Lin family had a heated debate about whether they should transport the grain they received to the north in exchange for greater profits. Since this was the last time they would use the public money to do business, everyone tried to get as much as possible.
to strive for more benefits. Although Mr. Lin wanted money, he felt that transporting so much food from Pingzhou to the north was too risky. Who to send and how to transport it were all problems. Who could say what would happen on the way?
?It’s better to wait and see the local market before talking.
The second master Lin and the third master Lin formed a rare alliance. They both agreed that they should make this trip. The reason was that the purchase price of the grain merchants would not be too high. Since they had already grabbed the first move, why should they leave the money?
How about others making money? Mr. Lin Er even sat down and calculated the accounts, how many people went there, how many mule carts were used, how much was the cost along the way, how much money he could make if he took the exchange for salt and brought it back...
... Mr. Lin San mapped out the route and took the initiative to volunteer, expressing his willingness to make this trip.
Chickens lay eggs, and eggs lay chickens. They seemed to have seen the white salt and the softly shining gold and silver. Among the younger generation, some agreed with Mr. Lin, and some agreed with Mr. Lin Er and Mr. Lin. For a while,
We couldn't stop arguing and stayed up until midnight.
Mrs. Tao had long made up her mind to follow Tao Shunqin, so she did not participate in these discussions and fantasies. After dinner, she left Mr. Lin San talking there, took several children back to the room, and told Mother Gong: "
Be careful these days, I'm sure someone will come from Qingzhou soon." He also asked Lin Shenzhi to get the book out, and listened to him memorize the book for a while before allowing him to go to bed.
When he was about to sleep, Chunya came back from asking for news and vividly described the situation to Mr. Tao: "The second master and the third master made an appointment to send grain to the north, and then return from the capital in exchange for salt. The second master has already calculated how much money he can make.
No matter how much money it is, the third master has arranged the route, but they don’t support the first master’s idea, and they are making a lot of noise at the moment.”
Mr. Tao sneered slightly: "You think doing business is as easy as eating. What did the old man say?"
Chun Ya said: "The old man sat down for a while and then returned to Tingtao House. Before the servant came, the old man asked someone to ask, saying that he had already fallen asleep."
Lin Jinrong thought: "It seems that my grandfather didn't mean that at all. He said that this was the last business. If he made money, he would buy the land and build the tomb."
Mr. Tao laughed: "Everyone is blinded by the money. Let them have a sweet dream for half the night. Then they fall asleep."
Early the next morning, Lin Jinrong went to Anle Hall to pay his respects. Mrs. Lin got up a little later than usual. The women were talking in low voices. Mr. Lin and others, who had only gone to bed at midnight, were also waiting early, probing their necks.
Mrs. Lin stood up.
It was rare to see such a spectacular scene. Lin Jinrong looked at Lin Jinyin inquiringly. Lin Jinyin came over and whispered: "They plan to persuade grandma first, and then grandpa."
Lin Jinrong whispered: "Still decide to go?"
Lin Jinyin nodded slightly: "Uncle, I can't resist the persuasion of so many people who want to get rich."
Suddenly, they saw Fu Quan walking slowly beside Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin and others immediately stopped talking and went up to talk to Fu Quan. Fu Quan's voice was not loud, but it spread clearly throughout the audience: "I'm here to tell you, Mr. Lin."
I mean, no one is allowed to bring up the matter of sending grain to the north. It will be handled here. You can earn as much as you can. Please contact the Wu family first to see how they plan to deal with it. The third master will write to Qingzhou.
I asked the uncle of the Tao family what he was going to do. Is there a suitable buyer? He looked familiar and asked him to help introduce a few reliable people to come to collect grain. Should the young master read or write or read and write? How many days will it take him?
I have to take a test on my homework."
The words stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone looked at each other, and there was silence for a while. Mr. Lin San couldn't help but said: "What a great opportunity, and you will get a lot of money..."
Fuquan smiled faintly: "The old slave is just a messenger. The old master said that if you have anything you don't understand, you can go to him." He bowed to the old lady's residence and left in a polite manner, leaving only one place.
People who have had a dream of getting rich overnight and have to wake up before they have time to enjoy the sweet dream are left scratching their heads and weeping in agony.
If you want to get a porcelain job, you have to see if there are diamonds. Do you want to make a fortune just like this? A trace of contempt flashed in Tao's eyes, and he picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth. Lin Jinrong and Lin Jinyin exchanged
After a wink, they held hands and gently picked each other's palms to play.
Suddenly, I saw Gong's mother rushing over and whispered: "Madam, Master Quan is here."
"So fast?" Mrs. Tao was extremely pleasantly surprised, "This kid is really nimble in doing things. Go and tell him that I will come after I greet the old lady." Although he wanted to go and hear what kind of news Lin Shiquan brought, he still couldn't.
I had to abide by the etiquette and wait for Mrs. Lin to get up.
Lin Jinyin asked Lin Jinrong in a low voice: "What do you think uncle will do?"
Lin Jinrong had already thought about this question carefully, so he smiled and said, "When will sister go out?"
Lin Jinyin's face turned red: "Don't you know?"
Lin Jinrong then smiled and said: "Then you still ask me?" Lin Jinyin is getting married this winter, how can Tao Shunqin free his hands to make this money? Besides, Xiangyao has already made enough money, why go to the freezing cold to eat it?
That pain?
Lin Jinyin thought about it carefully and figured it out.
Not long after, Mrs. Lin got up and saw the dejected state of her children and grandchildren, so she had to comfort her: "Be careful, the boat will sail for thousands of years. You just want stability at home, and your father is also doing it for your own good."
But except for the confident Mr. Tao, no one could really listen. Everyone was a little impatient and made their own plans. So they quickly dispersed. Mr. Lin went directly to ask the Wu family what they meant.
The master ran to write a letter, while Luo Shi made an excuse to go out, ordered someone to prepare a car, and hurried to Lu's house.
Mrs. Tao took her two children and quickly returned to her room to see Lin Shiquan.
"This is the money I've earned from selling fragrant medicine these days." Lin Shiquan held up a box with both hands: "My uncle got the news a few days ago and asked me to tell my aunt that there is only one big thing to do this winter, and that is
Regarding the marriage between the third sister and the eldest cousin, the most important thing is to get it right. It is better to earn less about food, as stability is the most important thing."
Tao opened the letter and read it, and said seriously: "Since your uncle said so, let's do it like this. I'll write the letter first, and you go and wash it. After dinner, go and see Liu'er."
Lin Shiquan winked at Lin Jinrong.
Lin Jinrong said: "I will send the third brother out."
The two of them walked out of the room and found a place to shelter from the wind and stand in a conspicuous place. Lin Jinrong looked like he was wearing a green cloth cotton robe, a light green brocade apron around his waist, deerskin boots, and a green futou on his head.
Lin Shiquan, who was obviously much calmer than when we parted a few days ago, smiled and said: "The third brother is so dressed up."
Lin Shiquan said a little embarrassedly: "It's so easy to come back, so I have to dress up well so as not to look down on others."
Lin Jinrong said: "How are you enjoying your life there? Are you coming back to celebrate the New Year?"
"They are all very nice. They don't treat me like an outsider, especially my eldest cousin, who is very kind." Lin Shiquan looked up at Lin Jinrong, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "As soon as the news came out, someone had already contacted my uncle and wanted to
All the grain has been bought. I need to transport the grain to the north and then go to the capital to exchange for salt. I want to go with him, have a little adventure, and make more friends so that I can work on my own in the future. I wonder, third sister, what do you think?
"
Lin Jinrong looked at Lin Shiquan carefully. He was nearly a head taller than her and much stronger than her cousins. There was green stubble on his lips. The greenness in his face had completely faded.
It's all determination and longing. She knows very well the desire of a heart that wants freedom but can't get it. No matter if it's a run, only Lin Shiquan can take charge of it alone, and she can change the current situation more... "Just go and run."
Go." Lin Jinrong smiled brightly, turned around and ran into the house: "Third brother, please wait for me for a while."
Lin Shiquan breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he was worried that Lin Jinrong would not allow him to go, but he did not want to be a person trapped in Pingzhou and Qingzhou for the rest of his life. He had no knowledge and could only rely on nominal relatives for help, so he still said
Yes, I didn’t expect Lin Jinrong to be so cheerful.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lin Jinrong running back quickly and stuffing an embroidery bag into his hand: "This is your dividend, it belongs to Xiangyao."
She had said at that time that he would be given a share, but he knew very well how much money she had. The money contained here was clearly money. She almost gave him all the money she could use. Lin Shiquan held on tightly.
The embroidery bag in his hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He breathed heavily and slowly. After a long time, Fang raised his head and looked at Lin Jinrong: "Fourth sister, I will never let you down."
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "Not just for me, but for you and Liu'er. I will go to my wife's house and tell her, and I will take good care of Liu'er for you. I guess you won't be able to see me before you leave. I wish you all the best in advance.
Have a safe journey and be careful on the road."
Lin Shiquan nodded vigorously and strode away.
Lin Jinyin walked out, looked at Lin Shiquan's back and whispered, "I really don't know what you are thinking about all day long." Although the words were critical, his tone was full of doting.
Lin Jinrong looked back at her and smiled: "Sister, you don't have to guess what I'm thinking, just spend time with your escort girl when you have time."

"Madam, my aunt is back!" Aunt Cui cheered up and gently pushed Luo Shi, who was about to fall asleep.
"Finally I'm back." Luo Shi sat up straight, smoothed his hair, looked at the already slanting sun outside the window, and sighed: "What time is it now? Didn't you say you'll be back in half an hour? Can't wait.
My back hurts."
"It's all my fault for keeping Second Sister-in-law waiting for so long." Lin Yuzhen walked in, taunted Luo Shi in a nonchalant manner, and sat down on the main seat: "We had already dispersed, but they were
After talking for a while, I told them to wait for me, so they let me go."
Luo Shi wanted something from her, so how could he talk to her about this? He immediately stood up and saluted Lin Yuzhen seriously: "My aunt, it's not my fault. I apologize to you. Don't argue with me."
