In a blink of an eye, the pomegranate flowers bloomed, the branches were covered with green leaves, and the trees were covered with bright red.
Mr. Shui concluded that Tao's illness had been completely cured. Tao immediately ordered someone to look through the almanac to select a date, and sent a letter back to Lin Jinyin asking Lin Jinyin to clean up the house and move back when the auspicious day came. At the same time, the Tao family
The wood, furs, spices and other items bought for Tao were loaded into the car and delivered to Pingzhou personally by Tao Shunqin. However, he did not go to Lin's house. Instead, he found a warehouse to store them and turned around to go to Zhuangzi to see Tao first.
After half a year, Lin Jinrong was extremely excited to see her uncle. When Tao Shunqin saw her, who had grown half a head taller, and the rosy-faced Mrs. Tao, she was in a good mood. She put down her things and ran to thank Mr. Shui first.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Tao told Tao Shunqin about Lin Jinrong's purchase of saline-alkali land. Tao Shunqin looked at Lin Jinrong in surprise. Lin Jinrong hurriedly smiled at him, so the uncle and nephew had a tacit understanding not to speak in front of Tao Shunqin.
After dinner, Tao Shunqin asked Lin Jinrong: "Do you want to accompany your uncle for a walk in the fields?"
Lin Jinrong knew that he had something to say to her, so why should he not respond? He immediately asked Guiyuan to get the purple mask, and followed Tao Shunqin out of the back corner gate and walked to the field ridge.
At this time, the tenant farmer had returned home. It was quiet everywhere, with colorful clouds filling the sky, and green seedlings waving in the wind. Everything was quiet and beautiful. The uncle and nephew walked away leisurely one after the other. After about a cup of tea, Tao Shunqin stood still.
, looking around: "It's better to raise people in the countryside. You have grown taller and your mother has recovered. I am very happy."
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "That is. But actually it is all thanks to my uncle. The greatest blessing in my mother's life is to have brothers and sisters-in-law like you and my aunt."
Tao Shunqin shook his head and chuckled: "That's wrong, Nannan. I won't care about her for the rest of my life. Her blessing will still fall on you." He looked back at Lin Jinrong and said probingly: "I brought all your money to you.
How are you going to deal with it? Are you still going to exchange money and wait to make money in the fall?"
Lin Jinrong said seriously: "No, the price of silver has dropped now. I heard that some people have gone to the capital to sell silver, and they are just waiting for the autumn tax season to make money. Everyone is doing it, so you have to have a lot of silver to make money. Uncle
It is possible to do this money business, but I have too little money to do it."
"Oh?" Tao Shunqin's eyes lit up and he said with great interest: "Then what are you going to do? What do you think your little money is suitable for?" From buying silver as tribute to saline-alkali land, he became more interested in this niece. He
As a scholar and a businessman, he understands that even if it is an accident, he must have the determination to seize it; even if it is a child-like whim, the child must have the confidence and ability to realize his dream.
She is a woman and a child. Men may praise her for being kind and generous and good at managing a family, but they will not casually ask her for her thoughts and opinions on business matters. Assuming that she can get Tao Shunqin's trust and help,
Whatever you want to do in the future will be done with twice the result with half the effort. Lin Jinrong knew very well how rare this opportunity was. After thinking for a long time, he said seriously: "I want to do a lot, but most of the money is borrowed. After paying it back, I won't have much left."
.You can only start from the simplest, for example..."
Tao Shunqin noticed her nervousness and caution, and joked: "For example, no one wants the worthless salt-alkali land?"
Lin Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her eyes and looked at Tao Shunqin seriously: "Uncle, don't laugh at me. I also want more saline-alkali land. I heard from my brothers that today we attach great importance to water conservancy and irrigation and to recuperate people's livelihood. Since other places are all about fields, Who can tell clearly that our Pingzhou and Qingzhou will not? If we don’t have a big river to release water, let’s not say it, but we are obviously not far from the Zhujiang River. Just like doing business, no one can guarantee We make money every time, but there will always be times when we make mistakes and lose money, but we cannot stop doing business just because we are afraid of losing money. Since the funds required to buy saline-alkali land are not much, why not give it a try?"
Tao Shunqin listened carefully and affirmed: "You are right. Although Nannan is a girl, she has more ideas than many boys. My uncle likes her very much."
Lin Jinrong finally got Tao Shunqin's approval, and was secretly happy in his heart. He was about to tell what he had been thinking about for a long time in order to seek Tao Shunqin's support, but he heard Tao Shunqin say: "I admit that you are very smart, but it is really a pity that you are a woman. Child. If you are a boy, I will do my best to teach you."
A basin of cold water poured down from the pocket, making Lin Jinrong's smile look miserable: "Uncle, is it wrong that I am a girl?"
Tao Shunqin looked at her gently: "Heaven and earth create all things, and all things create yin and yang. You are a girl, so there is nothing wrong with you. But in the eyes of the world, men and women are different and have different responsibilities. It is proper for a man to support his family, make contributions, and dominate the world. A woman should abide by the moral principles of women, and it is her duty to support her husband and educate her children. If you know too much and are too strong, it will harm you."
"How could it be?" Lin Jinrong's nose became sore and he whispered: "Uncle, people say that you have more skills than you can rely on yourself. It's better to rely on yourself than relying on the sky and the earth. I want to learn more skills, earn more money, and help my mother. How can it be wrong to share worries and not let yourself know that someone has cheated you? If you don’t let yourself rely on others to make a living, how can it be wrong?"
Tao Shunqin sighed, touched her bun, and whispered: "It's not wrong, it's the way the world is. You can't show your face, you can't support a family business independently. There are many places in this world where it's difficult for a woman to move forward."
Lin Jinrong took a deep breath and said with red eyes: "I know! I know there are some cowardly men who cannot tolerate a woman being better than him, and won't allow a woman to be better than him! What's wrong with me just wanting to make money? I don't want to rely on other people's charity. What’s wrong with spending your whole life looking at other people’s faces?” In front of Tao Shunqin, she expressed her feelings for the first time in front of others.
Tao Shunqin was stunned, and after a moment he burst into laughter.
Lin Jinrong bit her lip and looked at Tao Shunqin aggrievedly: "Uncle is the first person to hear what I said. I thought you didn't have so many pedantic ideas, so I told you, but you laughed at me like this."
Tao Shunqin finally stopped laughing, put his hand on Lin Jinrong's shoulder and said: "Okay, be ambitious! Other uncles can't help you, but it's okay to help you buy some saline-alkali land. When your saline-alkali land becomes fertile land, you just need to keep it. Just keep it, you don’t have to look at other people’s faces!”
This statement is still changing the soup rather than the medicine. Lin Jinrong held his breath and said: "I just need uncle to help me buy it. I don't need you to pay, I will use my money. If it is not enough, I will find a way. Of course, if uncle is willing to do it himself or I would advise my mother to buy some and keep them there, that would be great." How could she be willing to stop just guarding a piece of salt-alkali land? She obviously knows a lot of things and has many opportunities to make money.
Tao Shunqin did not comment and continued to move forward: "Let's go, walk with me to Qingliang Temple. I want to check that my money is in the right place."
This meant that the topic just discussed was over. Lin Jinrong stopped mentioning it and only told Tao Shunqin some interesting rural stories.
After returning from Qingliang Temple, it was already dark. Lin Jinrong told Li Zhi: "Go and tell the third young master that he should go out later tomorrow morning. I have something to ask him for."
Lin Jinrong got up early the next morning before dawn, prepared refreshments and waited for Lin Shiquan.
Lin Shiquan didn't arrive for a long time, but the gate suddenly became lively. Miao Ya ran over and said: "Girl, the eldest mistress of Mr. Lin Chang's family is here, saying that he wants to take the girl back. The third young master blocked the gate and refused to allow her to come in.
Woolen cloth."
Lin Jinrong quickly got up and went out, but saw Lin Shiquan standing by the door, holding a pole in his hand, blocking the door horizontally, and without saying much, Ma was not allowed to come in.
Little Baozi stood aside and watched the fun. Ma held the pole tightly, pushed it back hard, and shouted: "Brother-in-law, my elder sister-in-law is like my mother, how can you treat me like this? I want to see the third aunt! Third
Auntie is well versed in books and etiquette, and she will never allow you to be so ignorant of the rules!"
Lin Shiquan's face flushed red, he gritted his teeth and used force with his sister-in-law, not letting anyone go. Although he was strong, he was still a minor, but Ma was tall and had a life-threatening energy.
Son, the two of them were going back and forth for a while, and it was hard to tell who was better. The people in Zhuangzi were towards Lin Shiquan in their hearts, but they couldn't help. They could only advise: "If you have something to say, say it well. This way
How ugly.”
Ma yelled: "You saw this white-eyed wolf. I came to take my sister-in-law back with good intentions, but he didn't even recognize his father, brother and sister-in-law. He wanted to beat me to death!"
Lin Jinrong walked up and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, it's so early."
When Ma saw her, he quickly retracted his hand that was holding the pole, stood still, stroked his temples, and said with a smile on his face: "Fourth sister, I heard that you were leaving, so I came here to see you off."
"Please." Lin Jinrong winked at Lin Shiquan and whispered: "Third brother, it's ugly to make such a fuss. Let her come in before we talk."
Lin Shiquan hesitated for a moment and took back the pole.
Ma glanced at him proudly, adjusted her clothes, and strode inside. Tie Huai waved to the servants watching the excitement: "Go ahead and do what you are doing. What are you doing here?"
Dispersed in a hurry.
Ma stood in the courtyard and looked around, then walked resolutely towards the main courtyard. Lin Jinrong raised her chin, and Li Zhi went up to stop him with a smile on his face, saying: "Young lady, I'm so sorry.
Our wife hasn't gotten up yet, so please drink tea here and wait patiently." Regardless of Ma's expression, he led her to the penthouse.
Lin Shiquan came over with a white face, lowered his head and said: "Fourth sister, I have caused trouble for you and aunt again. I don't know who heard what someone said, and suddenly wanted to take Liu'er back."
"You don't need to blame yourself or worry. This matter was approved by my grandfather, and no one can do anything about it. But you," Lin Jinrong said seriously: "Third brother, what are your plans? You really want to do this for me
My family will look after the land for a lifetime and be a steward for a lifetime?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (To be continued.)
