Lin Zhu had already learned about the arrival of Mrs. Lin, Dong Yuzhen and others in the capital from the letters exchanged with Dong Yuzhen. He also heard that Mrs. Lin wanted to rent a house in the capital to live in. Originally, Lin Zhu wanted to help, but then he had to
Mrs. Zhi Lin had a shop in the capital, and the shopkeeper there had already made arrangements, so Lin Zhu didn't interfere.
However, Lin Zhu still asked Qi's carpentry shop to make some practical furniture and send it to them. It could be regarded as a gift to congratulate them on coming to the capital.
"Mom, this house is really nice, and the furnishings in the house are convenient and simple." Dong Yuzhen came out of her room to help Mrs. Lin pack her things.
"These are all sent by your sister Xiaozhu. Only the three of us have them. No one else has these things." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.
"Mom, can I go see Sister Xiaozhu? I haven't seen her for a long time." Dong Yuzhen said coquettishly to Mrs. Lin.
"Haha, you don't need to go find her, she will be here in two days." Mrs. Lin tapped Dong Yuzhen's forehead with her finger, "Just wait at home with peace of mind. Besides, she is busy cleaning up the countryside now.
His house is definitely not in the capital."
"Sister Xiaozhu, it's true. You've already come to the capital. Why do you want to live in the countryside? It's not convenient to meet you." Dong Yuzhen said with a pout.
"She has her own reasons for going to the countryside. Why can't she keep guarding so many good things? You are just thinking about it." Mrs. Lin looked at her funny and listened to her thoughts along the way.
Lin Zhu was here, and she wanted to have some fun together, but now she couldn't because Lin Zhu was very busy. The depressed expression on her face was very funny.
"We have a lot of things going on at home. Your father and the others are coming over in a few days, and it will be even more inconvenient for her to move around." Mrs. Lin thought of Dong Jisheng and others who were still in Song County, "Well, you go
Leave her a message
Please ask her to come over as a guest in five days." First, she chose a later time so that Lin Zhu could finish her work before coming over. Secondly, if it was later, she was afraid that Dong Jisheng and others would come after they came to the capital.
It is inconvenient to meet Lin Zhu.
Because Lin Zhu's departure made Dong Jisheng and Li Dabai, who wanted to cause trouble for her, wait for nothing, they breathed a sigh of relief. The congestion was really uncomfortable. It was better not to let Lin Zhu and Dong Jisheng come into contact with each other.
"But mother, didn't dad want you to buy a house in the capital?" Dong Yuzhen suddenly remembered what Dong Jisheng told her before leaving, "Why did you only rent this house? When the time comes, sister Xiaozhu will come over. It's inevitable to take a look.
I think it's too simple." Dong Yuzhen did not say the word shabby.
"Is this what your father told you?" Mrs. Lin raised her eyes and looked at Dong Yuzhen.
"Yes, dad told me before I came here, didn't he tell mom?" Dong Yuzhen still admires Dong Jixing.
"Your father just mentioned it, but your father didn't spend even a cent of the money to buy the house, and my mother didn't have much money. For a while, my mother had no choice but to wait for your father and the others to come.
Let's talk about it later." Mrs. Lin shook her head. She thought to herself that Mr. Liu must have been the one causing the trouble, and wanted her to make up for it with a private interview. It's a beautiful idea, let's just dream about it.
"How could dad say that?" Dong Yuzhen understood instantly. She thought he wanted to get closer to her, but she didn't expect that there was such a purpose behind it.
"But since your father has said so, then mother will go look for a suitable house. Wait until your father arrives before buying it." Mrs. Lin said. However, Mrs. Lin secretly thought about why Dong Jisheng knew that she did not have one.
Why do you still do this when you have too much money? If Mrs. Liu was not instigating this, Mrs. Lin would not believe it even to death.
Before Mrs. Lin came, she had told Dong Jisheng that she was here to find a famous teacher for her son. Even so, Dong Jisheng did not say that she would use the money to support her son. Instead, she wanted her to pay for a house. Could it be that he didn't want to or was Liu's
Don’t you want to find a famous teacher for your son?
Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Lin's face suddenly turned livid. The tea cup in her hand was placed heavily on the table.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Dong Yuzhen, who was startled by the movement, asked quickly.
"It's nothing, Zhen'er. You're tired after traveling for so many days. Go down and rest first." Mrs. Lin came to her senses and comforted Dong Yuzhen first.
After Dong Yuzhen left, Mrs. Lin sent the servants away, leaving only Mother Zhao by her side.
"Mother Zhao, what do you think about the master telling Zhen'er privately about buying a house?" Mrs. Lin said without raising her eyelids.
"Madam, I am a dull servant. I only think that this matter is a bit strange, but I can't think of anything else." Mother Zhao said cautiously.
"With the money we have, can we buy such a house?" Mrs. Lin stood up and walked to the window.
"Madam, isn't this money used to hire a famous teacher for the eldest young master? If we buy a house, we won't have anything left." Mother Zhao was shocked. Her master had not had this idea before. What happened today?
"Haha, do you think those two people at home would never think of such a simple truth?" Mrs. Lin sneered twice.
"Madam, I won't stop the eldest young master from making progress, right?" At first, Mrs. Zhao's mother couldn't believe Mrs. Lin's speculation, but the refutation became quieter and quieter, and she began to mutter in her heart.
"Mother Zhao, please send someone to find out how to get into this famous academy in the capital. Let the young master prepare to go to the academy to study." Mrs. Lin said with a firm voice. She had already figured it out. Dong Jisheng could no longer count on it.
, a person who can even ignore the interests of her own son, what else is there for her to plan for him? With Dong Wenbo's talent and learning, it should be no problem to go to the academy, but the two sons of the Liu family are enough.
.
At first, Mrs. Lin planned to invite her husband to teach the three of them, but she didn't expect Mrs. Liu to resort to such cruel methods, so she wouldn't have any scruples. Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin calmed down.
"Mother Zhao, prepare yourself. Send the post to the Lin Mansion first. I told you that I would visit the old lady in a few days." Mr. Lin and his son are the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs. They have many contacts and may be looking for an academy for their son.
The old lady can get some help. The old lady will not be embarrassed and refuse to help with such a trivial matter.
Mother Zhao took the order and went down.
Mrs. Lin was left sitting alone in the room in silence. It wasn't until it was time to turn on the lights and Mother Zhao invited her to have a meal that she recovered from the silence.
"Mom, sister, have you had a rest?" Dong Wenbo also came out to eat, and the mother and son alone didn't talk about sharing tables.
"Well," Mrs. Lin nodded, looking at her son's energetic appearance with satisfaction. "You also need to have a good rest, and don't rush into reading."
"Yes, mother." Although he answered like this, Mrs. Lin looked unconvinced, as if she had guessed that Dong Wenbo only agreed superficially and would study hard when he returned to his room. "
Mom, don't worry, my son will definitely have a good rest today." So Dong Wenbo assured Mrs. Lin very seriously.
"Brother, you need to take a good rest. Sister Xiaozhu said that haste makes waste, and you must combine work and rest to get twice the result with half the effort." In fact, Lin Zhu's original words were that you must combine work and rest and find the right method to learn, so you can get twice the result with half the effort. This
It was what she said to Feng Rongxuan who was studying hard, but she didn't expect Dong Yuzhen to use it here.
"I can't tell, your little sister Xiaozhu knows a lot at such a young age." Dong Wenbo didn't pay attention and just thought it was a joke between girls.
"Okay, let's not talk about studying at the dinner table. Eat first, and then go to rest after eating, especially your literary works. Later, my mother will ask someone to put away all the candles in your place." Mrs. Lin decided to give it to her son.
It's like drawing fire from the cauldron. How can I read a book without a candle?
Dong Wenbo sighed slightly in his heart and could only promise Mrs. Lin that she would never read again tonight. Dong Yuzhen smiled happily at her brother.
The three of them, mother and son, plus a dozen servants, had been walking from Song County to the capital for almost a month. They were really tired. Plus, they had to pack their things as soon as they arrived at the house. Not only they, but the servants were also tired.
No, so Mrs. Lin also told them to take a rest early and leave only one or two people around to serve them.
After Dong Yuzhen took a shower, she remembered that she had not written an invitation to Lin Zhu yet, so she wrote another invitation at the desk before going to bed to rest.
But although she was lying in bed, she couldn't sleep. Lin Zhu was not the only person she missed in the capital. Now she had been feeling anxious. Ever since she heard Lin Zhu's words, she had forgotten about her love for Chang Tianlei.
I told Mrs. Lin. She was very afraid that Mrs. Lin would reprimand her, and even more afraid that she would not agree.
But Mrs. Lin didn't say anything. She just said that she wanted to think about it. This approach of neither agreeing nor disagreeing really made Dong Yuzhen feel as uncomfortable as a cat scratching her heart, but she couldn't show it. So she wanted to do it very much.
I rushed to see Lin Zhu and confided this matter to her.
However, Lin Zhu, who was staying in Wangcun, always felt that her ears were itchy. Could it be that Fu Dou'er was talking about me? She thought with some uncertainty.
Lin Zhu's house in Wangcun has been built, and the furniture inside has been packed and delivered by Qi's carpentry shop. When Lin Zhu built this house, like most other houses in Wangcun, it also had a fire pit.
, so after burning for half a month, the house was completely dry, so Lin Zhu also started her first day of trial living.
Of course, now that this place has been built, Heidouer can no longer stay in the house in the capital. It is really unfair to him. He can't run around happily and can only be penned in a small yard. Lin Zhu feels that he is almost depressed.
, so since the construction of this house was started, it has been arranged to look after the home and the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, Heidouer was here. In just a few days, he subdued some local dogs in Wangcun and became the dog tyrant in this area. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to
