Hearing that Lin Zhu had not eaten and seemed worried, Chang Shi first thought of Aunt Chang who was still in the General's Mansion. However, due to his current relationship with the General's Mansion, he could not go to her directly. It seemed that he still needed to find her.
Other ways.
Chang Shi discussed it with Feng Yuanbo and others, and decided to put the matter aside for now, and wait until she found an opportunity to bring Aunt Chang over, and then she would come forward to ask.
The Wang family and Mrs. Wang also knew what happened to the Lin family at Tianyou Temple through the narrations of Wan and others, and they couldn't help but gloat about it.
However, because they had happier things, they didn't pay much attention to the Lin family's affairs.
"Mom, the residence of the second sister and her family has been sorted out." The return of Wang Yurou and her family is a major concern for Mrs. Wang, so Mrs. Wan is also very concerned about it.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Wang was also very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Wan said a few more modest words, and the scene between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was harmonious.
"I heard that the Lin family also went to offer incense?" Mrs. Wang suddenly mentioned what happened a few days ago.
"Well, the seventh young master of the Lin family ran away, and Miss Xiaozhu happened to meet her, but her kindness was not appreciated." Wan felt sorry for Lin Zhu.
"Hmph, the Lin family." Mrs. Wang snorted disdainfully, "Let Yan'er tell that Miss Lin to stay away from the Lin family in the future. Although her surname is also Lin, she is much better than that Lin family."
Mrs. Wang's implication was that she recognized the friendship between Wang Qingyan and Lin Zhu.
"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely ask Yan'er to tell her." Wan was secretly happy. Her impression of Lin Zhu was getting better and better. But because of the old lady's face, it was difficult to show it. Since Mrs. Wang
She has already approved it, so she has no worries.
"Mom, Yan'er's face has completely healed. Should we hold a garden party to celebrate?" Seeing that Mrs. Wang was in a good mood, Mrs. Wan suggested.
"Well, that's right. Let those who have laughed at our Yan'er take a good look at it." Mrs. Wang was also ready to feel proud.
Wan Shi smiled and agreed. At this time, the two mistresses of the Wang family had the same idea. They not only called people in the capital to tell the people in the capital that Miss Wang's beauty had improved, but also wanted to find a good girl for their granddaughter.
It’s almost time to return home. It’s almost time.
On the other hand, after Dong Yuzhen and Mrs. Lin returned home, they didn't get any news about Lin Zhu from the Lin family, so they were a little relieved.
"Mom, grandma and the others won't bear grudges against Sister Xiaozhu, right?" Dong Yuzhen was a little worried.
"No, it's too late for them to thank Xiaozhu." Although Mrs. Lin comforted Dong Yuzhen like this, she never thought that anyone in the Lin family would think of thanking Lin Zhu. After all, where is the status of the Lin family, she might still be suspicious.
Does Lin Zhu have ulterior motives?
"That's good," Dong Yuzhen felt relieved. After a pause, she said again, "Mom, dad has also been asking me about sister Xiaozhu recently. I don't know what he wants to do?"
"What did he ask about?" Mrs. Lin frowned. Dong Jisheng asked for news about Lin Zhu, which was obviously not a good thing.
"Dad just asked Sister Xiaozhu if she had sent anything to our house. Watermelon or something?" Dong Yuzhen carefully looked at Mrs. Lin's serious face. "However, I said no. And I also told dad that I and her
There is very little contact.”
"Well," Mrs. Lin listened and nodded with satisfaction. "No matter what happened to Xiaozhu, don't tell it from your mouth. And what you said is the truth. Don't pay too much attention to your father." I know.
Dong Jisheng's sudden mention of Lin Zhu was not a good thing, so Mrs. Lin warned Dong Yuzhen.
"I know, Mom." Dong Yuzhen nodded. As if remembering something, she said to Mrs. Lin, "Mom, I heard that Dad wanted to get some special watermelons to give away, but he couldn't buy them. He thought Sister Xiaozhu
Even if there are no special watermelons there, there will still be high-quality watermelons. Is it because of this that you asked me for information about her?"
"It's possible. After all, Linjiacun's high-quality watermelons are also famous in Song County." Mrs. Lin also agreed with Dong Yuzhen's point of view.
"But Xiaozhu is not in Linjia Village now, and your father can't do anything about her. Just say no." Now that Dong Jisheng has come to the capital to take up a post, his temper seems to be even worse, because Liu's natal family provides
Money opens the way, and things seem to be going smoothly.
In addition, although the Lin family may not value Dong Jisheng, they are still related to the Lin family by marriage, so they can take care of them. Therefore, Dong Jisheng is much nicer to the three of them, simply because he wants to improve his relationship with the Lin family.
The closer we are, the more help we can get from the Lin family.
In addition, the eldest son Dong Wenbo has already entered an academy through connections with the Lin family, while the second and third sons that Dong Jisheng values have not yet found a suitable academy. Although they have found a teacher to teach them at home, they are far behind Dong Wenbo.
The academic performance is good.
Dong Jisheng always believed that the second child's academic performance was much better than that of the eldest child. Under Liu's instigation, he even gave birth to the idea of letting the second child take the place of the eldest child in studying at the college.
However, after all, the college was not specially opened for him, and it was not a place where he could do whatever he wanted, so his ideas were never realized.
Seeing Dong Wenbo's academic performance getting better and better, Mrs. Liu was secretly worried, so she wanted Dong Jisheng to find some ways to send her two sons to the college.
It's not like they haven't thought about going the way of the Lin family, but when Mrs. Lin came to Beijing, she wanted to hire a famous teacher to teach Dong Wenbo, but Dong Jisheng refused. Now he has no face to let Mrs. Lin ask for help from the Lin family.
That's when Dong Jisheng asked Dong Yuzhen about Lin Zhu's situation. He wanted to get some top-quality watermelons, which are in demand in the capital, from Lin Zhu as gifts.
Dong Jisheng didn't go to Lin Zhu directly because he didn't know until he arrived in the capital that Muyue Trading Company was so powerful that it had brought all its business to the palace, so he didn't act rashly. In the past, he thought about revenge, etc., but he had already given up on it.
Nine nights have passed away.
The refusal of his wife and daughter certainly made Dong Jisheng very dissatisfied, and his face remained gloomy for several days.
However, Mrs. Lin didn't care. Firstly, she had long been accustomed to Dong Jisheng's villain appearance. Secondly, Dong Wenbo was about to retire. As a mother, Mrs. Lin was very proud to wait for her outstanding son to come home.
Of course, Lin Zhu didn't know about Dong Jisheng's little abacus. She had more important things now.
Lin Zhu bought nearly twenty cows, and now they are grazing on the slopes. Lin Zhu has also built some houses and cowsheds on the slopes. Firstly, the cattle herders have to live there, and secondly, the cows also have to live in the cowsheds.
inside.
The weather was not bad that day. The cattle herders were also brought by Lin Zhu from Song County, named Lin Ping, and another named Lin Yi. Lin Ping came over and told Feng Yuanbo about the cattle.
Four of the cows that Lin Zhu raised as beef cattle were actually pregnant. Feng Yuanbo was very excited when he heard the news, and so was Lin Zhu.
So Lin Zhu and Feng Yuanbo, led by Lin Ping, went to the slope to check on the pregnant cow.
Linzhu has about twenty acres of grass planted on the slopes, and now he sees that the grass is growing very well.
However, Feng Yuanbo and others were somewhat reluctant to plant grass in Linzhu at first. In their opinion, growing grass was not as cost-effective as growing food.
Now it seems that with so many cows, if you don't plant these grasses, just going out to cut grass for the cows will be tiring. After planting the grass, you don't have to worry too much about management, and more than 20 cows can be managed by two people.
If you can manage it well, it seems that planting pasture is very necessary.
Lin Zhu and the others first checked the growth of the grass. Lin Zhu also broke off a piece of grass and looked at it. Although the grass was dark green, it was still very tender and the cows must like to eat it.
"Girl, our grass grows really well. Those cows love to eat it. I think they are fatter than when they first came here." Lin Ping is a talkative person and introduced Lin Zhu and the others as they walked.
Including those cattle, he explained each one one by one, what kind of cattle they were, and clearly remembered their characteristics. It seemed that he was a good cowboy.
Lin Zhu and Feng Yuanbo followed Lin Ping to the place where they usually graze cattle, and Lin Ping waved to Lin Yi.
"Miss, Butler Feng." Lin Yi said hello to the two of them, then stood aside and said nothing. He seemed to be a man of few words.
"Where are the pregnant cows?" The sun was a little bright. Lin Zhu covered the sun with his hands and looked in the direction of the cows.
"Over there." Lin Ping pointed to the southeast. Two different types of cattle were raised separately, and the farm cattle were to the west. There were two dogs lying there in the middle to prevent any cattle from standing in the wrong line.
Those two dogs were two of the six puppies. Lin Zhu never named them. After they were sent here to be cattle dogs, Lin Yi named them, one was called Ax and the other was called Sickle.
Both Ax and Sickle knew Lin Zhu, so they quickly ran up to her and rubbed their heads against her legs to please her.
Lin Zhu also squatted down and stroked their heads with his hands. "Are they obedient?"
"Be obedient." Lin Yi nodded stiffly.
"Girl, these two dogs have been a big help." Lin Ping secretly turned Lin Yi around and added, "When I usually take the cattle back, they are always there to help herd them, but they are obedient."
Lin Zhu didn't care about Lin Ping's many words, nor did he care about Lin Yi's lack of words. As long as the two of them worked hard, it would be fine.
Lin Zhu looked at the cowshed again and found that the two of them had cleaned it very clean. The cow dung was thrown into a dug pit and covered with a curtain.
Lin Zhu was very satisfied with their work, but the two of them grazed on foot. Lin Zhu felt that something was not right. Although the place here was not very big, it was still too time-consuming and laborious just to rely on legs.
"Can you ride a horse?" Lin Zhu asked.
The two of them didn't know what Lin Zhu meant, so they all shook their heads.
"Uncle Bo, buy two horses as soon as possible and find someone to teach them how to ride." Lin Zhu looked around and said, "I still need to buy some more cows." Lin Zhu thought to himself that he wanted to raise them.
Beef cattle can be sold for money, but there are too few cattle now. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
