Early the next morning, the two uncles of the Lian family came to the door again, Lu Weixiu also came, the two families were arguing, and finally Shen Hu, the second son of the Shen family, said: "If you can't fight for a long time, it's better to catch lots." "The puzzle is solved.

Therefore, the fields and shops have been loted, and whoever catches the good and whoever catches the bad is left to his luck.

In the end, each family got ten shops, 500 acres of fertile land, seven Zhuangzi Ling Makeup accounted for three, four returned to Shenfu, the garden by the lake was returned to the Ling family, ready-to-wear jewelry Ling Makeup took away, as for furniture and other items that are not easy to move, Ling Makeup gritted his teeth and didn't even mention it, but when he saw that his uncle Lu Weixiu looked afraid that the world would not be chaotic, he gave him the precious medicinal materials accumulated daily and some porcelain that should not be taken away from long distances.

Invited the Chinese and the general A to come over, the two sides counted the cadastral fish scale books and other things, and the white deed to the government sealed, Shen Wuzhen did not come forward, Fan took a few uncles and concubines and sons and daughters-in-law to receive the property, still satisfied, to Lian said: "Today, it is not what we want, if there is a difficult place in the future, we can help it, we will help, send someone to do it!" ”

Lian's face was blue and silent, and Ling Makeup said: "Thank you for your mercy, the younger generation still has a reluctant request." ”

Fan showed his usual kind face: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"There is a rough girl in the courtyard, whose name is Pindi, but please give me permission to take it away."

Fan Shi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't you say that I really forgot, you see, early this morning, the evil obstacle came to tell you, Taoxin and Pingfen in your room, Su Ri had a kindness, and originally planned to inform you to accept the house, but now the two of them are also willing to stay." There is no one around you to serve, even if a little girl brings it, if it is not enough, you can choose another one. ”

Ling Xiang gasped, not feeling cold.

Taoxin and Pingfen, the two girls, are honest and honest, and when it comes to the original preparation of the accompanying room, they also have the meaning of letting their uncle take over the room in the future. However, when Ling Yan got married, Shen Lin swore that she would never take a concubine, and she also planned to settle the maids for life, but she didn't intend to do this under her nose, but she didn't see any clues, and she brought it up when she was in trouble, which was really chilling.

She turned around again, except for Liluo and Mei Ling waiting under the hall, how could there be any trace of Peach Heart Pingfen......

Fortunately, Ling makeup is free and easy, these many industries can still be abandoned, and the husband's in-laws can also be the opposite, what are the two girls, low her eyebrows and suppressed her surprise and resentment, and when she looked up again, her face was as usual: "Now buy a girl on the market for only fifty or twenty taels of silver, since the third master wants to stay, how can there be any reason not to give, I have enough to call, I will keep their deed of sale, just take away the rest of the people and Pindi when they are married." ”

Fan nodded with a smile on his face.

Several aunts and cousins of the Shen family were friends with Ling Makeup, and when they saw that the Fan family was already smiling, they came up to say goodbye. Especially Shen Yueqing, the concubine of the second uncle's family, because her parents were greedy for dowry, she almost promised her a widower in her thirties with a bad reputation.

Ling Xiang bowed one by one, and saw that Shen Yueqing was crying miserably, and there was nothing to comfort her, but he put the handkerchief on his hand with her.

The mother and son took Mama Zeng and a few girls, accompanied by the two uncles of the Lian family, got into the carriage and went to the lakeside garden to settle down.

Liluo saw Pingfen and Taoxin staying, sullen, Mei Ling scolded a few words of "pus and black-hearted goods" in her mouth, depressed and chest-accumulating, Pindi out of the Shen Mansion looking forward to being free in the future, and being able to meet her family from time to time, she was a little excited, but she was embarrassed to show it, the three girls sat in a car, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was strange.

When she arrived at the garden by the lake, Mama Zeng sent the girl to be soft and soft, sprinkled and swept around, Lian Chengxian's wife Zhang had already brought her only son Lian Tao and a rough girl to be busy in the garden, at this time Zhang accompanied the eldest sister to talk, Lian Tao and Ling Yun were companions, and Ling Xiang handed over the store deed to the third uncle to ask him to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Even Chengxian knew that things couldn't be slowed down, and he didn't care about drinking saliva, so he went out to do something. Lian Chengzhi saw that there was a shortage of people, and the kitchen was not yet ready to hire people, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to work.

After a long time in this way, even Chengxian completed the road guide, Ling Dongcheng loved his daughter, the business of the store was good, and it was sold at a low price, and it was sold out in a few days. The fertile land of Zhuangzi in the countryside was also sold to a wealthy family next to the field at one time, and the price was fair.

All the silver money was exchanged for the flight ticket of Hui Tongren, the largest money village in Dayin, and when she was ready to move her family to Beijing at the end of March, Ling made an inventory, and there were as many as 300,000 taels, and she also left a jewelry shop with many jewelry heads, in case of untimely needs after entering Beijing.

After living by the lake for more than 20 days, Pindituo found his second brother and his father in the boat gang, and Ling Xiang thought that they were used to walking on the canal, and it would be cheaper to follow his uncle to do business in the future, and asked them if they would like to make a living with their own family.

The Gong family listened to their daughter's words and was grateful, so they quit their jobs and went to the Ling family.

At that moment, Lian's flipped the yellow calendar and picked an auspicious day for travel, and asked the Gong family's father and son and Ling Makeup to bring back the two little maids Siquan and Siyuan from the Shen family to pack up, Ling Makeup's mother and son and the third uncle's family wept goodbye to their uncle at the dock, and took the garden by the lake as a foothold in Hangzhou, entrusted it to the uncle's care, hired a big boat, and sailed north as soon as the day was clear, heading straight to Jinling.

When the ship left Hangzhou, Lian and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and the sisters and brothers chatted about the affairs of Beijing in the warehouse.

Ling Dongcheng had a sister-in-law who married a military family in Beijing, and the Lian family had proposed to go to her house first, and then mentioned it again.

That Ling's Chunniang is seventeen years older than Ling Dongcheng, since the age of thirteen, he was half-sold by his parents and half-sent to marry a military household, and later the military family followed the commander back to Beijing, so he also brought his wife over, and the two lost contact, and the sister and brother had never met before. After Ling Dongcheng made his fortune, because the Ling family was thin, he remembered that there was such a sister, so he sent someone to Beijing to search, but fortunately, he knew the name of his brother-in-law, and finally found his relatives. Ling Chun's mother's family was in a difficult situation, but Ling Dongcheng had a lot of help, and also gave her family a lot of silver, and made a living for her two sons and helped her renovate the house. Therefore, Ling Chun's family owes her younger brother a lot of kindness.

However, Lian Chengxian and Ling Makeup were unanimously opposed.

Lian Chengxian thinks that his family is the Lian family, and he is not familiar with Ling Chunniang's family, and now his nephews and uncles do not have no money in hand, so why bother to go to relatives and friends.

Ling Xiang has been thinking about life in Beijing for a long time in the past few days, and has some calculations in his heart, listening to his uncle's opposition, Fang said: "Mother, I heard that my aunt's house is not spacious, although we are less than in the past, but there are more than 20 people up and down, how can the Pengmen courtyard be stuffed?" What's more, no matter where there are people who hate the poor and love the rich, we say that the business, the style is small, lest it be inconvenient to deal with the eunuchs for the father, or rent the house first, if it is convenient, it is a long-term solution to buy a decent yard. ”

Lian wanted to say more, so Zhang smiled and persuaded: "Sister wants to visit relatives and friends, let's just try our best to find a house near Mrs. Gu's house." ”

Only then did Lian nod and say yes.

Ling Xiang knew that her mother was attached to her father, and she couldn't see him, and it was a comfort to be close to her aunt, so she didn't talk too much. She only described the anecdotes of the villages and towns she passed along the way, and then combined with anecdotes of celebrities in history to talk to her mother and others to solve the boredom along the way.

Lian's and Ling Makeup are both generous, although Zhang's is a little careful, but she is not the one who calls the shots. So the new Gong family father and son also have feelings: they eat and drink much worse than the master, and the Ling family is also willing to give them tailors, and the young lady who works to break the skin is also sent medicine.

Speaking of Pindi, I originally only thought that I would leave with the third grandmother, but it was slightly freer than when I was in Shenfu, and I didn't think that the whole family could get together in one place, and the girl treated her no worse than the original big girl pear, and Mei Ling's family was in the countryside around Hangzhou, so she was reluctant to leave her hometown, and Ling Xiang generously returned her deed of sale and ten taels of silver to send her back. Now only Liluo and her are waiting for Ling Makeup, she is well fed and clothed, and her complexion has also been raised, she is grateful in her heart, and everything is the first, but it is Liluo who sees the sisters scattered in all directions, and her heart is bored, and she often hides in the sleeping warehouse and sighs and does not move around, and Pindi has gradually become the most powerful person around Ling Makeup.

There is nothing to say all the way, because Hangzhou to Jinling is a prosperous place, when berthing at night, you can still hear the sound of other ships drinking and boxing, Qiang pipe silk and bamboo, the ladies are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, all close the windows, except for the subordinates, the master is not on the deck at all. In his spare time, Ling Xiang flipped through the medical books, taught the two younger brothers homework, Lian and Zhang were either chattering or doing some needlework, and Lian Chengxian showed up all the way to make some trips, or drank a little wine, and within two days, the ship had successfully arrived in Jinling.

Leaning on a large wharf, all kinds of cargo ships and merchant ships are endless, the shore is bustling with countless busy crowds and stacked goods, Ling Xiang has a huge amount of money, can not make the slightest mistake, let the uncle go ashore first to contact the carriage and horses, to the money customs to pay taxes, until the hired carriage is all in place, the cage is lifted, then put on the hat, surrounded by several strong maids in the family, support the mother all the way to the shore.

At that moment, even Chengxian has inquired clearly about the south of the city where the wharf is located, and there is a larger inn restaurant not far from the city, riding a horse on the side to protect the ladies and children into the city, passing through the tall city wall, and a routine inventory of entering Beijing, showing the road guide, and paying the door tax of two taels of silver, only saying that the merchants went to Beijing and successfully entered Jinling City.

The carriage rolled and went, and about a quarter of an hour later, Ling Xiang saw a red mansion with cornices and corners from the curtain, and a huge signboard "Zhiyuan Building" was erected on the side.

Zhang's understanding and opened the curtain to beckon her husband to settle here.

People who have left their hometowns pay attention to frugality, this Zhiyuan building is also considered high-end in the south of the city, so it is not crowded, even Chengxian smoothly rented a backyard, and the upper and lower people are properly placed, as well as hot water and Jinling's famous salted duck, lion's head and other dishes are supplied, the first day of entering Beijing, it is a good start.
