Lin Mengyi's death did not cause much turmoil in Linjiazhuang, and the Sun Sanlang family who were crushed and ashes could not find any clues in Linjiazhuang.
His parents and brothers had nothing to gain from Linjiazhuang, so the old woman, who loved her son so much, simply lost her temper and squatted on the curb next to the gate of the county government office for several days, waiting for the day when the county magistrate would sit in the morning meeting.
In the end, the case was finally brought to the government by her. Of course, it was impossible to go to the county magistrate directly. This kind of thing was within the scope of the county magistrate's responsibilities.
The county lieutenant sent officials to take the bad guys to the countryside twice to conduct investigations. The Sun family spent a lot of money each time, but there was no progress in the case.
If you don't see anyone alive or dead, it's not credible to say that Linjiazhuang arrested someone.
What's more, Xiao Liu, who had witnessed Sun Sanlang being kidnapped by people from Linjiazhuang, had now denied it, saying that he had no idea about it.
It was impossible for him to go against such a large clan as Linjiazhuang for a dead person, not to mention that there was a village lord in the family.
Anyone who is willing to know the relationship between Le'an Township Lord and Xiao Mingfu can know it. Is Xiaoliu so stupid that he will sacrifice himself for a dead man?
As for the old woman's pleading to him, he didn't care. He had a lot of troubles under his butt. How dare he have more contact with people from the government? How about avoiding them?
Don't say that a common person disappeared in ancient times. If a modern person disappears, he will disappear.
Disappearances and homicides with corpses are completely different concepts, and they attract completely different levels of attention, both in ancient and modern times.
Matters like this in the county were handled first by the county lieutenant, but when a prodigal went missing, the county lieutenant didn't take it seriously at all and sent his subordinates there twice, even if he had gone through the procedures.
Put it with the other missing cases and let them gather dust.
As the county magistrate, Xiao Chong was constantly involved in big and small things every day. He wouldn't even know about such things unless the county captain came to report them.
If he has to do everything by himself, even if he is divided into eight hundred petals, it will not be enough to handle the chores.
The conclusion of this matter also made Lin Wanwan once again feel the tyranny of the clan power in feudal society.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty only governed the common people in cities and towns, and people in the countryside had their own clan lynchings. The so-called imperial power did not go to the countryside, and that was it.
Now Li Shimin's subordinates are relatively strong in control. Later, when he encountered an emperor who was not strong in means, many places could not even collect taxes, and they were all divided by the squires and local snobbery.
In mid-August, the decoration of Lin Wanwan's house in Xiaoxi Town was completed, and the date for entering the house for wine was set.
In order to prop up the scene, as the general manager, Sun Yaoyao reported to Lin Wanwan and went to the Yachang to buy a new batch of slaves. At the same time, he also collected the smarter ones from the wharf who followed him.
Come in and be a servant.
The new arrivals this time are not only the fifteen-year-old Fulangren, but also the eleven- and two-year-old little girls. Naturally, the young people are under the supervision of Sun Chueyao, while the little girls are all under the supervision of Yun Shang.
The more people there are, the higher the expenses will be.
Yun Shang has been following Lin Wanwan for a long time, and has long since learned Lin Wanwan's double-entry accounting method, and is very good at managing the account books. Lin Wanwan only checks the accounts once a month and basically doesn't care.
She now splits her time between Linjiazhuang and Xiaoxi Town. Linjiazhuang is a paradise-like life, while the beauty shop and embroidery shop in Xiaoxi Town require her to work hard and replenish supplies from time to time.
She also wanted to lie down and count money, but lying down and counting money was too risky.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was easy to say that she had a cheap senior brother as a cover, but this is not the case in modern times. The source of the huge wealth is unknown, so she has to work hard to be a good time and space master.
In addition to making money, the beauty shop is also a place where news circulates. She definitely needs to come often to listen to the gossip from the upper class, and the buyers of the embroidery shop also need to be found by her (actually they have all been moved to modern times).
So now, Lin Wanwan spends ten days in Xiaoxi Town every month.
In order not to delay the children's study, Lin Wanwan hired an arithmetic teacher in the school to take her place when she was not in Linjiazhuang.
Lin Wanwan, who had been living a prosperous life in her childhood, dressed up beautifully for Xiao Qingyu and held her second house-drink after coming to the Tang Dynasty.
The first time she held a banquet for country people, but this time, she invited the country squires and nobles with whom she had many contacts in Xiaoxi Town to hold a high-society banquet.
The banquet was a buffet style, and Lin Wanwan, who had hosted banquets several times before, was now very comfortable hosting banquets in the house.
Twenty large plates were filled with top-quality fruits and a variety of local pastries of the Tang Dynasty; a three-layered cream cake bought in modern times was placed in the center; and a cold dish of fish and meat that was loved by the Tang people from top to bottom;
There is also fruit shaved ice that Tang people like to eat in summer.
This ice was made by Lin Wanwan after filtering the spring water from Datang Mountain and putting it in a freezer in modern times. It is many times more sanitary than the ice stored in ice cellars by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
From now on, Lin Wanwan opened the door to welcome guests, and gradually more guests came.
First, the Zhang family and the Wang family who lived next door arrived, and they followed Lin Wanwan to enjoy the flowers in the courtyard.
Zhang's daughter-in-law, Wang, has a relatively close relationship with Lin Wanwan. She often corresponds with Lin Wanwan. When she saw the flowers planted in the courtyard, she was full of praise: "Wanwan, who is your gardener? He is really good at it.
, I saw several very unique flowers.”
"I picked these seedlings from the mountains and planted them myself for fun." Lin Wanwan said with a smile.
What is a gardener? There is no full-time gardener in Lin Wanwan's family. The servants all hold multiple jobs.
And these flowers are not served by gardeners. Most of them are finished products that Lin Wanwan bought from the modern flower and bird market, transplanted directly, and covered with nutritious soil.
As for why the exotic flowers and plants in the garden grow so well, it's very simple. Once they die, Lin Wanwan buys new ones from modern times and replaces them. In this case, it's no wonder that they don't do well.
"Le'an, you are so powerful. It takes a lot of effort to take care of these flowers, right?"
"It's okay, haha."
Lin Wanwan didn't study flowers deeply. She spent a lot of time every day on medical skills and musical instruments. She also spent part of her time going to work in a modern company, writing novels, and giving lessons to the children of the clan, even if she was stuck in two hours.
There is a time bug in the world, and there is no spare time to study flowers.
Lin Wanwan still learned the skill of flower arrangement casually from Heng Wu. Fortunately, Yun Shang and Hong Yan were happy to learn from Heng Wu.
Decorating the main courtyard with elegance and class is the proper etiquette for a noble family. As the hostess's personal maids, they have high requirements for themselves.
It doesn't matter in the countryside facing the sea, but when you get to the city, you must not let your wife be laughed at. You must do everything to perfection.
Soon after, everyone who had received invitations came over one after another.
Lin Wanwan met everyone and sat together on the mat in the main hall with a screen door and large ice cubes everywhere, eating shaved ice and chatting about everyday things, which was very comfortable.
