Lin Yutong didn't want to ask Lin Ruhai further in front of his younger brother. He probably knew in his heart that even if he asked again, if the old fox didn't want to talk, he would definitely be unable to say anything.
But since there is danger, we can't simply avoid it. Instead of believing in the emperor's protection like Lin Ruhai, it is better to believe in yourself.
She is not in the habit of leaving her life to others.
So, on this day, she specially took Lin Yuyang to find Dr. Su who was invited to her home.
Dr. Su's mother is a daughter of the Lin family and the aunt of Lin Ruhai's same clan. Calculated in this way, she and Lin Ruhai can barely be regarded as cousins. Although she doesn't know how many generations she is a distant relative.
Since Lin Yutong knew this person's identity, Dr. Su was no longer a worship doctor invited by the Lin family, but was treated as a relative. This made Dr. Su somewhat happy.
From now on, Lin Ruhai will be the only one left in this house. It is very important to have a trustworthy doctor by his side. Lin Ruhai also acquiesced to Lin Yutong's arrangement.
Lin Yutong brought his younger brother with him this time, just because it was not easy for women to see their foreign men. It didn't matter in the past, but now she has to be more cautious. Dr. Su is also an elder in his own family. He has his brothers with him, so he doesn't even meet him once.
Tighten up.
"Cousin." Lin Yutong called Dr. Su with a smile.
Dr. Su was excited: "Girl, I don't dare to call you a cousin. Just tell me, if you have anything to do, I'll do it for you." Please don't shout like that, it's so irritating.
Lin Yutong smiled a bit shyly and said, "As you know, father sent us to the capital." His tone was quite resentful.
Doctor Su couldn't understand what this person meant. Did he want to ask him to follow him to Beijing? It didn't look like it.
I heard Lin Yutong say: "...the mountains are high and the road is far away, and the road may not be safe."
Dr. Su thought to himself, this girl is really worried. As a smart person like Mr. Lin, how can he not be completely sure that he can pack up several of his children and send them away together? If there is really a danger, he will not even take the blame.
We can't afford to take such a risk, so the arrangements must be foolproof.
He was thinking of saying this, but he heard Lin Yutong say again: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of what happens. That's why I came to ask for help."
"Girl, I'm a doctor. And I'm not young anymore. If my shoulders can't support my hands and I can't lift them, how can I still escort you?" Dr. Su asked in confusion.
"That's not necessary." Lin Yutong said sheepishly: "Can you prepare some medicine for sweating, aphrodisiac, and itching powder for me? I'll keep it for self-defense."
Dr. Su opened his mouth wide, and Lin Yuyang choked on the tea he was about to drink.
"A big girl still knows these things!" Dr. Su was surprised. Ordinary street gangsters may not know these things.
Lin Yutong smiled slightly: "Do you have it or not? We are not outsiders, I just want to protect myself. I will never use it to do bad things."
Dr. Su's face turned green and red for a while. These things are despised by the righteous.
Lin Yutong looked at Dr. Su's expression and knew that he probably had it. "As long as you ration it to me, I will never say it comes from you. Even my father won't say."
Dr. Su also knows this girl's temper. He has seen it in the Lin family these days, and he is definitely a person who tells the truth. If he doesn't give it to her today, she dares to find a way to get around from other places. If word spreads, this girl's reputation will be even greater.
Oops.
He sighed, his cousin called him, how could he respond?
He scribbled down a few prescriptions, "This thing is harmful to people, so don't keep it around. Bring the necessary medicinal materials and mix them when needed. Take the prescriptions back and remember to destroy them. Don't leave any clues."
"
The prescription is an important thing, so give it to her!
Lin Yutong saluted solemnly, and had already decided in his heart that he would go back and persuade Lin Ruhai to offer more money to his cousin.
After saying goodbye to Dr. Su, Lin Yuyang asked curiously: "What does sister want this for?"
"Just be prepared." Lin Yutong is not sure about the future at all. But he just wants to have peace of mind. If one day he is trapped in Jia's house and cannot get out, these things may be able to catch him by surprise.
Lin Yuyang was shocked by her sister's caution, and she was wary of the Jia family from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Yutong returned to his room and memorized the recipe. He didn't destroy it, he just put it into the space.
Thinking that this was a prescription, I transferred it back. Maybe it would be worth a few bucks.
In the evening, there was news. Fangzi had indeed been sold. Fifty thousand yuan was actually allocated to his account.
What an unexpected surprise!
Lin Yutong's bad mood because he had to go to Jia's house disappeared because he had an extra 50,000 yuan in his pocket.
Because of this unexpected income, she faced up to ancient medical techniques and prescriptions for the first time.
Therefore, when packing the suitcase, I packed all the medical books collected by the Lin family into my luggage.
Lin Ruhai said dumbfounded: "Why do you think of reading these books again?"
"It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Brother Yang is growing up, and Daiyu is frail. My father is not around yet, so I have to be more careful. The more I know, the easier it will be to take care of them." Lin Yutong explained calmly.
Anyway, in order not to complain, Daiyu's health is also her responsibility. If she drinks some spring water every now and then, it shouldn't get worse. It's easy for me to deal with myself.
Lin Ruhai was indeed moved: "It's hard for you!"
The days are spent packing and preparing for a long journey.
Seeing the day before leaving, Lin Ruhai called siblings Lin Yutong and Lin Yuyang to his study.
He pushed a box on the table in front of Lin Yutong: "Put this thing away. As a father, if anything happens, this is the foundation for you and your brothers and sisters to settle down."
Lin Yutong shook her hands and looked at Lin Ruhai in astonishment: "What is this."
"There are three million taels of silver notes inside, which are accumulated by the Lin family for generations." Lin Ruhai sighed: "You can hold on to these properties outside as much as you can. If you can't hold on, let it go. But no one can hold on to these properties."
unknown."
If Lin Ruhai is gone and Lin Yuyang is not an adult yet, he cannot hold on to the Lin family's apparent property. Therefore, this box is the backup plan.
"In addition to the banknotes, there are also some deeds of the Lin family's servants, all of whom the father thinks can be used. In addition, there is also a jade pendant." He pushed the jade pendant in front of Lin Yuyang, "This jade pendant is a token.
My father has deposited part of the property deed in a pawn shop. You can take it out with the jade pendant. Hang this jade pendant around your neck and don’t take it off.” After that, he explained to Lin Yutong, “It’s not my father’s.
I don’t trust you, but everything is just in case. If one part is lost, you still have another part. Do you understand.”
Lin Yutong burst into tears instantly. Lin Ruhai didn't know that there were many dangers, but he was helpless. He also planned in many ways to leave a chance for his children to survive.
"Don't cry!" Lin Ruhai had seen the little girl's tears too many times, and suddenly saw the usually strong eldest daughter crying, and felt uncomfortable in her heart. "As a father, this is just in case." He sighed.
, said: "As for Daiyu, she has a simple temper. She can't keep whatever you give her. Having nothing is safer. As long as you siblings are here, she can't suffer. Your character can be trusted by my father.
"
Lin Yutong secretly cursed the old fox! Isn't this moral kidnapping?
Lin Yuyang clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, father. If that day comes, my son will definitely protect his sisters and prevent them from being wronged. Divide these things into three parts. My son swears to God that he will violate this statement."
,Destroyed by heaven and earth."
Lin Ruhai quickly stopped: "As a father, I can trust you."
Lin Yutong was so upset by Lin Ruhai's sudden arrangement that she felt uncomfortable until she got on the boat. She was somewhat touched.
It should be normal for people to get along with each other, and there is also a person who keeps calling him father. It should be normal for him to have some feelings when getting along with him.
Anyway, she left with uneasiness and concern. Seeing Lin Ruhai's figure getting smaller and smaller on the pier, appearing so alone, Lin Yutong's nose felt sore, and her throat seemed to be blocked.
However, Lin Yuyang calmed down his emotions first and said, "Sister, come into the cabin. The wind is strong on the river."
Lin Yutong motioned to Xue Yan to help Daiyu, but seeing that the dock was no longer in sight, he said: "Go in! Don't get sick. I'll save my father's attention."
Lin Daiyu couldn't help crying, but she was still obedient.
Accompanying the three of them to Beijing were Lin Ping, the eldest son of Housekeeper Lin, and his wife. Lin Ping's wife, known as Sister-in-law Ping, was a daughter-in-law in her twenties and was extremely capable. In the capital, this couple was their internal and external housekeepers.
Lin Yuyang looked at the fleet of boats in front of him and asked, "Whose boat is that?"
Lin Ping said: "It's an official ship escorting salt tax."
Lin Yuyang nodded, no wonder his father was relieved that they were going on the road like this. It turned out that they were accompanying the official ships. The water bandits robbed many merchant ships, and the official ships did not dare to mess with them when they were idle. What's more, it was a ship that paid a large amount of tax to the court.
They are considered desperadoes, and they don't dare to have any thoughts. Firstly, the possibility of snatching it is low, and secondly, once they snatch it, the court will fight them to death. It is not a mistake!
After hearing this, Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. She asked Lin Ping if she knew who the official responsible for the escort was and if she had any friendship with him. She thought about whether she should try to make some friends when they docked for supplies on the way.
Take favors.
Lin Ping smiled and said: "Master has taken care of everything. Don't worry, big girl."
Lin Yutong nodded and asked Sister-in-law Ping to pack up a few food boxes with the fish with distiller's grains, marinated goose webs, and braised chicken and duck prepared in the kitchen. "When you have the opportunity, send them over and say that they are our wishes."
Lin Ping smiled and agreed. Favors don’t just come from walking around. (. )
