Chapter 101: The Sea Breeze in Lanzhou [1]
When the day came, Lin Chengping, Zhao Feng and Da Zhuang wanted to return to the Zhenbei Army, and Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin went to Beijing to take the exam.
Lin Wan'er asked Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin for two little scholars, but they were rejected by the two brothers. But Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin felt a little awkward.
Lin Wan'er didn't insist, and arranged the two scholars to help in the Half Moon Bookstore, these two little scholars were not less "strictly disciplined" by the winter worms, but they couldn't say that they were bitter, and they didn't dare to be angry, and muttered in their hearts: "You girl, why teach us, you are not a Lin family." ”
Lin Wan'er prepared bedding, clothes, etc. for Lin Chengping's brothers, and so on, and they were piled up there like a hill.
Lin Chengping couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, rummaged in the mountain pile, found that there was still a pair of chopsticks, and asked Xia Cao beside him: "Why did the eldest sister prepare a pair of chopsticks, we are going to Zhenbei Army and Shangjing, if we don't go on an outing?" ”
Xia Cao pursed her lips and smiled, and explained: "The Lin family is afraid that the second young master will not meet the inn when he goes north, and he will sleep in the wilderness without dishes and chopsticks to eat. Lin also prepared a pot, and after hesitating for a long time last night, they finally decided not to bring it. ”
Lin Chengping was moved in his heart, and the eldest sister's heart was careful, which made people feel warm, and it was also a little funny.
Lin Chengping looked for it, but didn't see the figure of the eldest sister, and asked, "Where is the eldest sister?" Why didn't you see it today? ”
Xia Cao helped rummage through the mountain pile to find the necessary daily necessities, picked out other items that could be taken or not, and said: "Everyone Lin cleaned up too late last night, and ordered that they should get up for a while this morning, and the second young master and the others should just take their things and leave, and there is no need to say hello." ”
Lin Chengping shook his head helplessly, his eyes were a little moist, the eldest sister was afraid of parting, and she couldn't bear to say goodbye to her brothers. Lin Chengping still remembers that when he went to Zhenbei Army, the family stood in front of the small courtyard of the Lin family, and the eldest sister sang a song that Lin Chengping could never forget for the rest of his life, the rhythm of the song was far from the mainstream tune of Dawei, but Lin Chengping just couldn't forget it.
In the dead of night, when the war came to an end, when the sunset was like blood, Lin Chengping always couldn't help humming: "Hurt parting, although parting is in front of you, say goodbye, goodbye will not be too far away." If there is fate, fate can look forward to tomorrow, you and I reunite in the bright season, I wish to keep a smile in my heart, accompany you through every spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”
Lin Chengping and a few people packed their bags, took their brothers to the door of the eldest sister, knocked lightly on the door, and asked, "Eldest sister?" ”
There was no echo in the room, it was silent.
Lin Chengping continued: "Eldest sister, I'm leaving, the third and fourth are also going to Beijing to take the exam, and the brothers want to see the eldest sister before leaving." ”
Lin Wan'er's impatient voice came from the room: "What do you see?" If it's gone. I slept late last night, and now I'm very tired, so you can go your own way, and don't bother me. ”
Lin Wan'er is a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart, loves face, is careful and meticulous, and the brothers know it, and they kneel at the door without saying much.
Lin Chengping opened his mouth and said: "Eldest sister, the Lin family is able to get to where it is today thanks to the eldest sister, Chengping and the brothers, especially Baoyu and Yubao, are not impressed by their father, and the eldest sister has always been the elder mother in the hearts of the brothers." ”
The Lin family did not disperse thanks to Lin Wan'er, and Lin Wan'er was able to make up for the regrets of her previous life thanks to crossing to the Lin family.
In the room, Lin Wan'er nested in the quilt, crying like a little cat.
Zhao Feng walked in front of Lin Wan'er's door and said in a low voice: "Eldest sister, you can think about the matter between you and my brother." ”
"Get out!" Lin Wan'er shouted with a crying voice.
Lin Chengping went to the Zhenbei Army in this way, and Lin Qianyi and Lin Hanlin went to Shangjing.
The entire Lin Mansion suddenly fell silent, and there was less laughter and excitement.
Although Baoyu and Yubao were reluctant, under Lin Wan'er's combination of soft and hard, the two of them went to the private school to study pitifully. On the way to the private school, Baoyu and Yubao carried small schoolbags on their backs, reluctant to take one step, turned back in two steps and three times, and looked at the eldest sister with pitiful, touching and touching eyes.
Lin Wan'er was silent and said, "Don't pretend to be pitiful, the eldest sister doesn't eat this." ”
So I bought two little ones who could only go to the private school to study, and write big characters with a brush every day, and since then, the private school has opened the prelude to the tragic childhood of Baoyu and Yubao.
Since Chen Xiaoxiao arrived at the Lin family, Dabao has completely "abandoned" Lin Wan'er, and followed Chen Xiaoxiao all day long, never giving up. Chen Xiaoxiao didn't feel bored, and was very happy all day long, like a little bird.
Lao Wulin took over the Lin family's business in an all-round way, and it became bigger and bigger, faintly showing signs of becoming the first family in Lanzhou. Lin Renzhong brought his ingenuity to the extreme, not only keeping the silk business and bookstore business in order, but also expanding the oil shop business, which not only provided oil to merchant ships going to sea, but also formed an alliance with the boss of Zuixianlou, and the cooking oil of Zuixianlou was also sold by the Lin family.
Lin Ren's center of gravity has a rough outline of the business empire, and now he is telling his eldest sister Lin Wan'er that in Lin Ren's center of gravity, the foundation of the business empire should be agriculture, starting with eight words - "clothing, food, housing and transportation, food and women and men", and then scattering in a spiral manner. Lin Renzhong is not interested in how much money he earns, what he is cold about is the government-like "Caoyun" and "Weaving Bureau", which are the foundation of the country, Lin Renzhong wants to intervene, and he wants to intervene very much.
Lin Renzhong's ideas are incredible, unheard of, in the past, the merchants of the Great Wei Kingdom had an inferiority complex, consciously inferior, and there was a concept of "contradiction between officials and businessmen", but Lin Renzhong jumped out of the shackles of this thought. And this kind of thinking was formed in that somewhat dilapidated small oil shop, when Lin Renzhong was in a daze.
It's a pity that Lin Wan'er is not interested in this, holding her chin with one hand, and nodding listlessly.
Lin Renzhong saw that the eldest sister was not interested, he smiled, chatted about what the eldest sister was interested in, took out the Lin family's account book, coughed, spread it in front of Lin Wan'er, and explained: "Eldest sister, this is the Lin family's account book this month, silk sales have doubled compared with last month, Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen also sent the profits to Lanzhou, so the Lin family earned a total of ...... last month."
When Lin Wan'er heard that there was money income, she suddenly looked bright: "How much, how much?" ”
Lin Renzhong smiled mysteriously and gently spit out a number.
Lin Wan'er couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, and asked with some uncertainty, "So much?" ”
Lin Renzhong smiled and nodded.
Lin Wan'er raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth curled, hehe, and said, "In this way, our family is really rich." In the past, my family was poor, so I wanted to wait until I had money, and I would never eat noodles again for breakfast in the morning, but would eat eggs and fritters, and eat one and lose the other. No, I'm going to eat one and lose two. ”
Lin Renzhong laughed silently, the eldest sister is so cute.
