A few days later, the price of silver actually rose to one tael per thousand, and the major silver shops were still in short supply and sold out one after another. Many wealthy people took this opportunity to make a fortune by taking their deposited silver. When Tao learned that, he was quite surprised.
I regret not listening to Lin Jinrong's advice: "If I had known this, I should have stayed. If I stayed for a while, I wouldn't suffer a loss if it didn't rise and I sold it. What did I think at the time?" He also blamed Mr. Lin: "That's right.
That bastard thing is in my way, making me have to worry about everything and not thinking about it!"
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but laugh secretly when he saw her getting upset and going crazy and taking her anger out on others: "No matter what I say, you won't listen..."
Tao felt unhappy and poured cold water on Lin Jinrong: "Although you guessed that the price of gold and silver will rise, look at the saline-alkali land you bought. Didn't you say it will become fertile farmland? I heard Ah Quan say, San
Don’t expect anything to happen within five years! Even if we replace Tiji, who is keen on farming, he may not be willing to divert water to this area!”
Lin Jinrong originally wanted to tell her that it was a sure thing that this land would become fertile land, but then he thought about it. He had already told her about buying silver and paying tribute. Plus, there was also the matter of saline-alkali land, so others would not be suspicious.
It's difficult, it's better to be low-key and prudent. So he just smiled and said: "As I said, it's training. I'm not straight-forward. How can I guess everything? And it's not that there is no hope at all. If you keep it, you will always succeed.
Good farmland."
"That's right. I bought everything. It didn't cost much anyway. Let's keep it and see." Tao sighed and started to go crazy again: "Why was I so confused at the time? There was so much gold and silver. If it were based on today's
At this price, I can buy you a complete set of the most decent rosewood furniture.”
Lin Jinrong's heart suddenly softened like a pool of spring water. He gently hugged Mrs. Tao's waist, buried his head in her arms, and whispered: "Mom, I only want you and my sister. My brother is fine. I don't want the rest."
Rare, you can never make enough money, more is useful, less is less useful, if you miss the opportunity this time, there will be another time."
Mrs. Tao froze for a moment with her hands tied, then suddenly smiled, hugged Lin Jinrong and said to Gong's mother and others: "Look at what you said, let me...ah..." As he said this, the corners of his eyes became wet, and he murmured: "Nanny, mother.
I didn’t give birth to you in vain.”
Lin Jinrong raised his head and smiled at her: "Mom, you didn't make any money, are you crying with anger?"
"You girl!" Mrs. Tao slapped Lin Jinrong on the butt angrily, and Lin Jinrong shouted exaggeratedly. In the midst of the excitement, Xia Ye said from outside the curtain: "Madam, my aunt is coming to pick up the young master at home, waiting.
I’m kowtowing to you.”
Didn't Lu Yan say that he would stay here for another month? Why did the Lu family send someone to pick him up now? Tao was startled, let go of Lin Jinrong, stood up and sat upright, licked his hair and said:
"Come in."
The door curtain was opened, and in came Lin Yuzhen's confidant, Aunt Fang.
Aunt Fang is only the same age as Aunt Huang, but because she is the mother in charge, she dresses in a more old-fashioned way. She wears a blue silk jacket that is not old, paired with a cyan pleated skirt, and has a silk thread inserted into it.
The shining double-stranded golden hairpin makes her look several years older than Aunt Huang.
Lin Jinrong glanced at Aunt Fang and lowered her eyes. She had dealt with Aunt Fang countless times in her previous life, and knew the nature of this person - following Lin Yuzhen, she could convey Lin Yuzhen's orders clearly and vividly, but she could also rely on her
Wearing a smile that is not afraid of being beaten and pretending to be naive, she tries her best to show that she is just a messenger and has no choice but to be a slave, so as to reduce others' dislike of her. Strictly speaking, she is not a treacherous person, but she is
He was not someone who could be trusted. Therefore, Lin Jinrong didn't like Grandma Fang, but he didn't hate her either.
With a smile on her face, Aunt Fang saluted Mr. Tao and Lin Jinrong, presented a black lacquer worship box with both hands, and said: "My wife didn't know that my uncle's village was nearby, and she only treated me as the second young master."
I have been living in Mr. Zhu's house. I just found out yesterday that the second young master is not sensible and has troubled my uncle and wife for so long. I feel really sorry. I asked my old slave to send this thank you gift to thank my uncle and wife for taking care of the second young master for so long." said
At this point, she paused briefly, looked at Mr. Tao's expression and said: "The exam is about to begin. My wife is afraid that the second young master will be too playful and neglect his studies, so she asked the old slave to pick him up and send him to Taiming Mansion first.
Adapt to adapt.”
So Lu Mian lives here without letting Lin Yuzhen know at all? Isn’t it sensible? Has it bothered her for so long? Has she neglected her studies? What do you mean? When she rushes to lick someone! Tao immediately became angry and also
He refused to let anyone pick up the prayer box, and sneered: "My aunt is so polite, why are you thanking me? If my boy hadn't happened to encounter Lu Yan falling into the water and kindly rescued him, I wouldn't have known that their master and servant were at Mr. Zhu's house.
He is studying. I don’t dare to let him live here, but he has caught the cold. If I, the aunt, don’t pay attention, people will say that I am cruel..."
The second young master actually fell into the water? The second young master is a man of few words. He never likes to talk too much. Why didn't he mention the short-lived life at all? Grandma Fang was immediately shocked and she even forgot about pretending to be stupid.
.
Mrs. Tao looked at her shocked expression and became more and more certain that Lu Yan had not said anything to Lin Yuzhen. It was really funny that mother and son had reached this point. She wanted to add another sentence, "If Lu Yan has a bad relationship, I'm afraid your wife
She wants to cry and won't let me go, saying that I caused her to die." As he said this, he thought that Lu Jian was not an annoying child, so why curse him, so he said firmly: "It's not that I forced him to stay.
Stay here with me. If you want to take him back, just take him back and take your things away. I don’t run an inn! It’s ridiculous!”
She took good care of her relatives, but ended up with such an end, which would make anyone feel uncomfortable, let alone Mr. Tao, who could not get rid of the dirt in his eyes. Although Aunt Fang felt that Mr. Tao's words were unpleasant and merciless, she knew that she was in the wrong and was just blindly speaking.
Stupid laugh: "My uncle and my wife are joking, my uncle and my wife are joking. Our wife is really grateful to my uncle. She wanted to come to thank her in person, but she has something at home and can't come..."
"Aunt Fang, you're really welcome. My mother and I both believe that good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds. Not to mention our own relatives, even cats, dogs, and beggars fall ill in front of my house, and we still have to give them a bowl of rice." Lin Jinrong interjected coldly.
She said, she had known what Lin Yuzhen's reaction would be, she just thought that Lu Yan was a treasure, and all the girls would try their best to marry him; or, if Lu Yan didn't do well in the exam this time, she would definitely let him go.
It's just harsh words like no one.
Aunt Fang looked at Lin Jinrong in surprise. Lin Jinrong was wearing a goose-yellow ruqi, a pleated skirt embroidered with gardenias in emerald green, silver and red embroidered shoes on her feet, her face was white and rosy, her lips were smiling, and she had a pair of beautiful long
His eyebrows were spread out, his eyes were bright, and there was no hint of timidity at all, but only teasing and ridicule.
Compared with half a year ago, Miss Lin's appearance was completely different. No wonder Aunt Huang said she was amazing. Aunt Fang secretly praised her and held her breath a little. What a good little girl, why is her mouth so bad? But after all, it's okay
I had a business relationship with my wife, and the girl might not have fallen in love with the second young master, otherwise how could she talk so unscrupulously? Thinking of this, Grandma Fang stopped talking and just put the worship box on the tea bed with a naive smile.
Chun Ya called at the door: "Madam, my cousin is here."
Lu Yan walked in, glanced at Aunt Fang, gave a smile to Mrs. Tao, and saluted: "Aunt, I have thanked you for taking care of me for a long time, and I have caused you a lot of trouble. My nephew is leaving soon, and I don't know if my aunt can do it."
What do you want to order?"
"Go and take the exam well, so that no one will blame you for delaying your studies by living here." Tao waved his hand at him angrily, feeling unhappy with himself.
"Yes." Lu Yan lowered his eyelashes and was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Jinrong. Lin Jinrong did not look at him, but pointed at the worship box and said, "Mother Fang, remember to take this with you."
Aunt Fang said awkwardly: "Four girls, please don't embarrass me..."
Lin Jinrong looked at her and smiled as if she didn't hear anything: "Auntie, you plan to go back right away, right? I won't leave any food for fear of delaying you on your way." Then he ordered Li Zhi: "Help Auntie Fang put this in the car."
Aunt Fang's face turned red. She didn't want to do such an offending thing, but who would do it if she didn't do it? She wanted to say a few soft words to calm it down, but Lu Yan already turned around and walked out: "Let's go.
"
Aunt Fang had no choice but to smile and salute, and hurriedly chased her out. Lychee followed closely behind, holding the worship box, and directed people to carry all the gifts that Aunt Fang had brought back to the Lu family's car, and then went back to the house and carriage.
After starting, no one went to see him off. Only brother and sister Miao Ya and Tie Erniu stood in the shade of the tree and watched. Tie Erniu wanted to go up and say hello to Lu Mian several times, but when he saw his face turned pale, he was obviously extremely frightened.
longevity, and finally gave up.
This time, Tao and Lin Yuzhen were at loggerheads.
Mr. Tao was sulking with a sullen face. The more he thought about it, the angrier and more unwilling he became. Lin Jinrong smiled and said, "Well, I advised you back then and said you couldn't be provoked, but you still don't believe me."
Tao said angrily: "I am really treating him like a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions! From now on, even if his family members die of illness in front of me, crying and begging me, I won't even bother to take a look."
Mother Gong advised: "Madam, she is being unreasonable. Why do you need to be on the same level with her? If word gets out, people will just say she is ungrateful. Why should we be angry?"
"That's right, is it worth being angry? Don't waste your energy. Just don't deal with his family in the future!" Lin Jinrong stood up with a smile, "I'll have someone clean up Xikuoyuan to get rid of bad luck!"
Mrs. Tao was depressed for some days, but she felt better after receiving a letter from the Tao family in Qingzhou. Although her gold and silver were not sold at a high price, they still got a good price - at first she only wanted to exchange for one or two pieces of silver.
50 Wen, she was already satisfied with the price of 850 Wen, but Tao Shunqin actually exchanged it for 900 Wen, which was twice as much as she expected. How could she not be happy?
Lin Jinrong was even happier. She also received a letter written by Tao Fengtang. Tao Fengtang was a man of his word. He really exchanged her gold for silver and kept it until recently. After all, she sold a tael of silver.
1020 articles! She began to miss the thousands of saline-alkali lands in the west of Pingzhou City. Although she currently does not have the financial resources, nor is her appetite that big, and does not want to eat them all, she still has a foundation.
