The gold ingots in the lacquer box are of excellent color and are neatly arranged, emitting a soft and charming light. 46 pieces, 2 taels each, a total of 92 taels of gold, equivalent to 460 coins. Tao Shunqin looked up at Lin Jinrong opposite and smiled slightly
Yixiao: "What to do?"
Lin Jinrong said seriously: "I tried my best to get only this little money. In fact, I still have a little change left in my hand, but I have to keep it for emergencies. For the remaining 140 yuan, I can only write an IOU to my uncle.
Already."
Are you really confident that you can repay your own money? Tao Shunqin laughed: "I asked you to come over these two days, but you haven't come. Is that the reason for this? Did you sell iron to get gold? Did someone charge you a lot of hard work in the process?"
"How do you know?" Lin Jinrong was slightly surprised, and then thought that it was Tao Shunqin who brought back the money from selling her silver. How could he not know how much money she had? Then he smiled and said, "I can't just take a bunch of bits and pieces here and there.
It would be too embarrassing to give gold, silver, copper coins, etc. to my uncle. It will be more convenient for my uncle to take them with him on the road."
"Nanny, what can I tell you about you?" Tao Shunqin no longer said that he wanted to send Lin Jinrong away and told her not to be polite. Instead, he took out a land deed from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Jinrong: "Take it, this is forty cents.
Land deed." He picked up eighteen more gold ingots and pushed them in front of Lin Jinrong: "These are a lot, I'll give them back to you."
Didn't you say eighty cents of land? How could there be only forty cents? Maybe my uncle bought the land for his family. This is good, let's all be together. Besides, I really need the money now, and it will be of great use this autumn.
Lin Jinrong did not ask where the other forty pieces of land were going. Instead, he picked up four more gold ingots and pushed them over: "I can't let my uncle bear the cost of buying the land."
Tao Shunqin had a straight face: "What did you call me?"
Lin Jinrong was surprised and said: "Uncle."
Tao Shunqin threw the four gold ingots over: "You still know that I am your uncle? You know it so clearly, I thought you were asking for my help from outside. Why don't you give me a red envelope as a reward for your hard work?"
Lin Jinrong quickly stood up and apologized: "It's my fault, uncle, don't argue with me."
"Sit down." Tao Shunqin poured himself a cup of tea and poured another cup for Lin Jinrong. He whispered: "You are a possessed child and refuse to tell me the truth. Although I don't know what you think, but I
I thought, with the general trend, this land may one day become fertile land. If it doesn't happen in three to five years, it will eventually become good in seven, eight, or ten years. If it doesn't, it's nothing to lose. I bought a total of eighty acres of land.
I’ll buy half of it for you, and leave the remaining half to Little Lao Qi. It depends on whether you are good enough or not.”
Uncle, it's not that I don't want to tell you the truth, but I can't say, thank you for doting on me and loving me so much. Lin Jinrong lowered his eyes and pushed the remaining gold ingots over: "That's for my siblings. Uncle wants it."
Collect money. We can't always take your money. If you don't take mine, I'll ask my mother to buy something else and send it over."
"How dare you!" Tao Shunqin pointed at Lin Jinrong and said with a stern face: "I gave it to Xiao Laoqi, what do you do to me? Favors are between me and your mother and have nothing to do with you. Are you afraid of owing favors? It's hard to say.
Be obedient, if you really think about it, can you pay off the favor you owe me with this small amount of money? If you really think your uncle is good, remember to be more filial to him in the future, sincerity is better than anything else."
Lin Jinrong's nose felt sour, he looked up at Tao Shunqin and blurted out: "So, after uncle returns, he will also buy some salt-alkali land in Qingzhou for storage?"
Tao Shunqin looked at her deeply: "I will consider it."
You can also save more food, and you can make a lot of money with that. Lin Jinrong had already spoken, swallowed it back, and changed his words: "Uncle, you told my grandfather that we went to Qingzhou to congratulate my aunt on her birthday.
What?"
Tao Shunqin withdrew his gaze: "As I said, your grandfather has already agreed."
"Great!" Lin Jinrong happily collected her things, said goodbye to Tao Shunqin, and walked to her small yard. She had to go to the Qingzhou Forgery Market. In the same year, Lin Wu once heard from Zhou Mai, who was concerned about state affairs.
Tell one thing and tell it to them.
There was a severe drought in the north, and Mobei was ready to move. There were constant frictions with the imperial court. There was a lack of reserves in the north and transportation difficulties. Therefore, in the winter of this year, the imperial court had to recruit merchants from China to transport grain. After the grain was transported to the north, the price of millet increased.
Those who deserve 750 coins can get 2,000 coins in exchange, and then go to Beijing or the Southeast Prefecture Army to get money or salt according to their own needs. The Tao family does not have to risk traveling so far, but they can save more food.
Sell it to grain dealers who want to make this hard-earned money and make a steady profit.
There is another thing. In the following years, the imperial court gradually liberalized the trade of some fragrant medicines. It reached its peak when she was fifteen years old. Thirty-seven kinds were liberalized at once, which made the merchants happy.
.There are great business opportunities in this area, but she doesn’t know which of the things she is using now are banned by the government and which are open to circulation and trading, so she just started learning from the market in Qingzhou.
While thinking deeply, Lin Jinrong had already arrived at the door of the courtyard. As soon as Lin Jinrong entered, he saw Yingtao coming up to greet her and whispered: "The third girl is here and asked you about selling hairpins. She seemed very angry. She also scolded Aunt Gui for not doing anything.
.”
Lin Jinyin has such a good face, she must have received the news to settle the score. Lin Jinrong's little heart couldn't help but tremble, a smile appeared on his face, and he pretended to be happy and said loudly: "Sister, are you looking for me?"
Lin Jinyin's face was full of anger. She looked at Lin Jinrong coldly and said: "You are so poor! That gold and silver are so attractive to you, and that salt-alkali land is so important that you can shamelessly sell jewelry to your own sisters? You know?
I don’t know what my eldest aunt told me? Open your makeup box and show me! What have you sold?” Zhou told her in a serious tone earlier, knowing that Mrs. Tao was organizing a dowry for her and was planning to arrange Lin.
Yi Zhi's marriage to Lin Jinrong was inevitably a bit tight. If you need help, don't be embarrassed. Just ask, and it will be smoothed out no matter what. She thought it was the makeup given by her eldest aunt. She was so ashamed that she wanted to sew her in in an orderly manner.
That's good.
"No!" Lin Jinrong put away the smile on his face and said calmly: "Now that my sister knows it, I won't hide it from you. I like gold and silver, and I just want to buy salt-alkali land. I don't steal or rob, and I don't lie.
Who, they are willing to do it themselves, it’s not okay if I don’t give it, I am fulfilling it for them, what’s wrong?”
Are you still eloquent? Lin Jinyin was so angry that she fell down: "Do you still care about your reputation? If you want me not to tell my mother, go get the Shuijingchai back!"
"No change! My sister already knows about it, how can my mother not know about it?" Lin Jinrong was so angry that she couldn't bear the consequences: "I've already spent the money and the deal is done. It won't help my sister to be angry again, so it's better not to be angry."
Lin Jinyin was furious and raised her hands, but Lin Jinrong stepped forward to meet her and said firmly: "Auntie is just unhappy because she didn't take advantage of this, so she deliberately harassed us. Look what the second aunt said.
?Didn’t say anything. Still very happy.”
It's simply unreasonable! Lin Jinyin was furious and swung her hand down violently. Lin Jinrong closed her eyes and heard only a crisp sound of "pop", but there was no unexpected pain on her cheek. When she opened her eyes again, she felt
Lychee received this slap.
Regardless of the pain in her face, Li Zhi knelt on the ground and said: "Third girl, please stop being angry. It's true that several girls want it. They are forcing the fourth girl to give it to anyone they believe. Anyone who can't get it is a bad person. The fourth girl has no choice but to do it."
There’s no need to use this method.”
Seeing Lin Jinrong's unrepentant look, Lin Jinyin suddenly felt helpless and sighed: "This is crazy. She can deceive others, but she can't deceive me. Whatever, Jackie Chan will go to heaven and become a snake.
Damn it, I can't control it." After saying that, he walked out slowly with his shoulders slumped.
Lizhi hurriedly pushed Lin Jinrong and motioned for her to quickly explain to Lin Jinyin.
It's not that she's crazy and can't explain it clearly. Lin Jinrong shook her head gently, opened the money box, and carefully put eighteen gold ingots in. She knew that she could never sell jewelry to her cousins in the future, otherwise she would not be able to live well.
How long will it take before the reputation of the fourth girl of the Lin family for loving money as much as life will spread, which will be detrimental to the entire third house? This road is more difficult and arduous than she imagined, but she thinks that she is actually lucky, she has
An uncle like Tao Shunqin.
Simplified and cured, Zhou held her chin and asked Aunt Xu: "Did you say that Uncle Tao bought 80 acres of saline-alkali land in the west of the city a few days ago?"
Aunt Xu nodded vigorously: "Yes, it cost a total of five hundred and sixty guan. The old slave's natal nephew spent a lot of effort to find out from outside. I heard that Mr. Tao had a dream at night.
I have to buy that piece of land to build a house to go smoothly, but the name of the third wife is written on the land deed, and it is divided into two parts."
What is this going on? I suddenly bought so much useless saline-alkali land. Is it possible that there is something famous in it? Zhou frowned and fell into deep thought. Earlier, he tried to test Lin Jinyin with words, but only saw Lin Jinyin.
He was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head. Nothing else came out. Either Lin Jinyin didn't know about it, or the third room was acting in secret and deliberately hid it from everyone.
Could it be of any benefit? Tao was not famous, but Tao Shunqin was a well-known rich man in Qingzhou, known for being shrewd and capable. Zhou wanted to follow suit and win a piece of saline-alkali land, but he was not sure. After thinking about it again and again, he waved to Aunt Xu.
: "Go, find someone to say this to the Third Master..."
A wicked smile appeared on Nanny Xu's lips: "Okay. Madam is waiting for news from this old slave."
On the day Tao Shunqin left, Lin Jinrong sent someone back. When he got up from a nap, he found that the sky had changed. The sky was extremely gloomy, the clouds were dense, and the air was filled with heavy moisture, which made people feel anxious and flustered for no reason.
Aunt Gui helped Lin Jinrong wash her face and said casually: "I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily today. It's really boring."
Lin Jinrong felt a bit bitter and said lazily: "Let's go down. The sun has been shining for more than ten days in a row. It's time to set down."
There was a soft knock on the door, and Xia Ye hurried over: "Fourth girl, third girl wants you to go to my wife's room quickly."
Lin Jinrong stood up quickly: "What's wrong?"
Xia Ye whispered in her ear: "The master and his wife had a quarrel about something. It seemed that they were talking about the salt-alkali land that my uncle bought. The third girl said that you should go and clarify it immediately."
Lin Jinrong's heart tightened and he hurried out. (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)
