In less than two days, Jin Dajun, who was dying and losing all his energy, was released. Yu Zongsheng not only continued to go his own way, but also gained a reputation. After a few days, he opened a warehouse to store grain for two days, and then unexpectedly got
He received praise from the imperial court. No scholar dared to join in and cause trouble casually. After the words of Mr. Zhu criticizing him were spread, many people regarded him as a joke and alarmist. No one believed that there would be chaos in Pingzhou.
For example, at this time, Lu Jianxin was commenting to Lu Jianzhong who came to inquire about the news: "Mr. Zhu is too alarmist. Pingzhou and Qingzhou are close to Darong. They are important cities and the city wall must be built. People.
How could it be so easy to cause chaos? Are the garrison vegetarians? This is no different from Fengzhou where there is no city wall
"Yes, there were only a few troops stationed there, so we stormed in easily. To prevent civil unrest and foreign invaders, we really need to strengthen the city walls. Close the city gate and see how those villains can get in." Look at those sitting aside.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and said nothing. Thinking that the master and apprentice were breathing out of one nostril, he asked Lu Yan specifically: "Erlang, what do you think?"
Lu Yan felt unhappy after hearing what he said about Mr. Zhu's alarmist talk. He said slowly: "It is right to strengthen the city wall, but my son also thinks that Mr. Zhu's words are good. It would be good for everyone to soften his approach. Even if
If there is no chaos, it will be beneficial in the long run. This Yu Zongsheng is really cunning, cunning and vicious. I have been traveling around these days and everything I see is..."
The answer was not what the question was asked. Lu Jianxin was impatient to hear what Lu Yan said and interrupted him quietly: "We will discuss this later. I mean, do you think there will be civil unrest?"
Lu Yan also wanted to persuade him: "Father, sir, you just said to be on guard. A thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest..."
Lu Jianxin said angrily: "It's impossible! You are not allowed to talk nonsense outside in the future! With your identity and status, you should know and be careful about what you should say and what should not be said, so as not to get into trouble! This big family,
I can’t tolerate you dragging me down!”
Lu was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."
What the common people fear most is chaos. Who cares how the father and son quarrel? If Lu Mian doesn't cause trouble, that's what everyone wants to see. Lu Jianzhong quickly interrupted: "That means there won't be chaos?"
Seeing that Lu Yan had agreed, Lu Jianxin still had a stubborn look on his face. He glanced at him with dissatisfaction and snorted: "How can it be that easy? No! Pingzhou is not Fengzhou!"
Lin Jinrong lowered her head in the inner room to feed Yilang, and could clearly hear the words of the people outside. She knew that she was powerless, and that neither Lu Mian nor the gentlemen could make it on this road.
After all, the gentlemen had clearly stated all the stakes at that time, but obviously no one took this to heart and regarded it as a joke. Then she could only spend all her time preparing for the escape.
When Lu Jianzhong heard that there would be no chaos, he felt much relieved. He shook his feather fan and asked with concern: "I heard that the spring plowing in the farm of my eldest brother and my third brother was still affected this year? And the gangsters in Wuyi are very rampant.
What else is there to say about doing justice for heaven? Recently, merchant ships and passenger ships have not dared to travel alone and have to travel in groups."
Lu Jianxin frowned: "Well... spring plowing has indeed been affected to some extent, but most of the rice we grow is pretty good now. April and May are the busiest times, but Erlang has already made arrangements.
Right? Erlang?"
Lu Yan was still angry that he was laughing at Mr. Zhu. Hearing his name be called, he stood up and responded: "Yes, having a horse and a plow can solve many problems. Even if there are not enough tenants, the refugees will not
There are few, as long as you are willing to give food, you won’t have to worry about finding day laborers.”
"Very good." Lu Jianxin asked Lu Jianzhong again: "Second brother, it's not easy to sail in Wuyi. Is your business affected?"
Lu Jianzhong let out a long sigh and said dejectedly: "Why aren't you affected? Life is hard."
Lu Jianxin was silent for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and asked Lu Yan: "It has been a while since Wu Xiang's letter was sent. When will I receive a reply?"
Lu Yan calculated it and said, "It's almost time."
Lu Jianzhong was hesitant to speak, and Lu Jianxin was worried for him. He just said: "Brother, if it is true... you and your sister-in-law won't blame me, right? This money is still my sister-in-law's pocket money." He also has it.
Because of the bad premonition, instead of being criticized by Lin Yuzhen later, it is better to force Lu Jianxin to express his position now.
Before Lu Jianxin could speak, Lin Yuzhen became unhappy and whispered into Lin Jinrong's ear: "Look, I was trying to persuade you then, but now I'm here to clear things up."
Lin Jinrong tugged at the corners of her lips and comforted Lin Yuzhen: "Just in case."
Lu Jianxin was silent for a moment outside, pretending not to care and said: "It's okay, I'm willing to admit defeat. Although this money is your sister-in-law's pocket money, I made it clear at the beginning that there are losses and gains in business, even if you lose this time
Maybe he will come back next time. Is that the truth?" Although Lu Jianzhong persuaded him to join in the first place, he didn't put a knife on his neck to force him, so he had no reason to blame Lu Jianzhong.
Lu Jianzhong breathed a sigh of relief and said something familiar: "Brother, let's go and see the third child together. His disease is also strange and keeps coming back. If it doesn't work, we have to find another good doctor to take a look.
Putting it off like this is not the way to go."
Lu Jianxin was very keen on showing brotherly respect at this time and immediately agreed.
After the others left, Lin Yuzhen ordered Fanling with a straight face: "Lift the curtain and let some air flow!" She was already disgusted with Lu Jianzhong to the extreme. She felt that there was an unpleasant smell in any room where Lu Jianzhong had stayed.
.
Fang Ling did it in a hurry. Lin Yuzhen glanced at the fan next to her. Aunt He hurriedly picked up the fan before Xiaoxing and fanned her flatteringly. She softly persuaded: "Madam, the spring weather is just right outside, the wind is beautiful, why not
Did you take the Second Mistress and Master Sun together for a walk outside to relax?"
As soon as Yi Langcai heard about it, he immediately jumped on his short fat legs and ran outside: "Wandering in the garden!"
Lin Yuzhen made him laugh, and then told Lin Jinrong: "Let's go. Tell me about the charity village advocated by your teachers and mothers." After thinking about it, "We might as well go see the old lady and teach Yilang what filial piety is."
"
The so-called teaching by words and deeds is like this. Of course Lin Jinrong did not object. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked while walking and ran to Rongjingju. Mrs. Lu was not willing to keep them longer. She first said that everything was fine, and then hugged Yilang and said
After a few words, they had to expel the guests. Everyone was used to it and were not angry. They bowed and left. They saw Fangzhu waiting outside. When he saw them coming out, he immediately stepped forward to salute and whispered: "There is news from Huating County.
News!”
Lin Yuzhen immediately became nervous: "What should I say?"
Fang Zhu looked at Lin Jinrong in embarrassment, and Lin Jinrong nodded slightly to her. You couldn't keep it secret anyway, and you had to say what you had to say. However, Lin Jinrong remembered that Lin Yuzhen almost fainted when she heard the bad news, so she took a step forward to help her.
Lin Yuzhen.
Fangzhu whispered: "Of the sixteen ships that went out, only six came back. They said they encountered a big storm."
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhen softened her expression, held the handkerchief against her heart, and smiled uglier than crying: "That's okay, after all, six ships came back, and we didn't lose everything." Then she asked Lin Jinrong as if to prove: "I
I heard that you were able to earn several times the price difference when you were in the treasure business earlier, right?" Based on this calculation, it may still be able to barely break even. As long as the capital can be recovered, we can make a comeback next time.
Lin Jinrong nodded: "That's true, but that was in the past, before the shipping company was established. Now the profits are not as high as before."
Fangzhu couldn't bear to cry and shouted: "Madam!"
Lin Yuzhen's smile stiffened little by little, and her voice became cold and stern: "What?"
Fangzhu was worried and said: "The remaining six ships are being watched! They have already entered the port, and they have been issued with official certificates and allowed to be sold to other places. But later, they suddenly said that they were inside
They took the girl's mouth with them and hid forbidden items! Now the whole boat has been impounded! The chief steward of the Mei family and several officials who were issued official certificates were all sent to prison! There were also the dead boatmen.
They are also causing trouble and need to pay compensation."
Although Lin Yuzhen didn't know how to read facts and draw points, she knew that something was wrong! She suddenly felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet. Lin Jinrong quickly supported her, pinched her pulse tightly and whispered: "Aunt?
aunt?"
Lin Yuzhen felt a little more energetic after being pinched by her. Her face was ashen and her lips were trembling as she said, "Where are the eldest master and the others?"
Fangzhu said hurriedly: "Several masters are discussing matters and discussing countermeasures. It was my servant who heard about this incident and hurried in to inform my wife."
Lin Yuzhen pursed her lips, looked at the bluestone on the ground with a dead look, and said with a bit of resentment: "Go! Go and tell the second wife about this immediately!" She didn't feel well, how could she let Mrs. Song go?!
Fang Zhu hurriedly glanced at Lin Jinrong. Lin Yuzhen suddenly raised her voice: "I told you to go quickly, didn't you hear me?"
Fangzhu was startled and said hurriedly: "Yes." After saying that, he hurried away.
Lin Yuzhen shouted this, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained. She leaned softly on Lin Jinrong and said with difficulty: "Go back."
Su Xin heard the noise inside and hurriedly came out and asked with concern: "Madam, are you okay? Why don't you come in first and have a rest?"
Lin Yuzhen was so irritable that she had no energy to deal with her, so she kept her face blank and said nothing. Lin Jinrong hurriedly smiled with Su Xin and said: "It's okay, it's okay." As he said this, he winked at Fang Ling and said.
Lin Yuzhen took it back.
Su Xin watched the few people go away and walked back to Rongjing Residence. She found Aunt Sha in the corridor and whispered: "It seems that there was a big disaster in the matter of investing in shipping."
Just as Grandma Sha was about to speak, she heard Old Mrs. Lu say in the room: "Do you know how much they got?"
Lin Jinrong doesn't even know, let alone others? Aunt Sha shook her head: "I don't know, but it seems that the eldest wife has been hit hard, probably not less."
Mrs. Lu recited the Buddha's name, continued to turn her rosary beads, and struck her wooden fish, without any other expression.
