In the middle of the night, thanks to Zheng Huahan's relationship, Lin Long hurried to Chen Village, before the carriage drove into the village, he saw that half of the sky was reflected red from a distance, as if the half of the sky was burning, it was so terrifying from a distance, wouldn't it be even more terrifying when it came closer?

Lin Qi was dumbfounded, and muttered, "This time it's over, it's really over......"

Aunt Green looked anxious, and almost cried, they still have a big business in their hands, and now the source of this raw material has been burned, how can this be good? As soon as her body was weak, she collapsed in the soft pillow and couldn't recover her soul for a long time.

Lin Long's expression was very serious, her palms were sweaty, and when she heard her sister's words that she had lost her fighting spirit, she shouted angrily, "It's not over yet, I'm going to be finished by you, a crow's mouth, shut up for me." ”

"Sister, you have also seen that this mountain is all burned, even if they save it, what will happen? Those flowers and plants can't be used anymore, these are all in front of us......" Lin Qi shouted wildly, his voice was angry and angry, why did this thief play them like this, it was not easy to look forward to a good life, and this twist and turn.

"Qi'er, it's useful to complain now, I've complained a long time ago, if you don't have a good Jianyi, then shut up and let me be quiet for a while." Lin Long's voice was extremely stern, and his eyes were even colder.

Lin Qi looked at the eldest sister's expression for a while, and finally stopped saying something complaining or discouraged, but her expression was very blank, obviously she thought that her own elder sister couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Aunt Green saw them arguing, and just wanted to persuade them, the two calmed down the war, and breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that they didn't quarrel anymore, and they can make more money when the money is gone, and if the sisters have a quarrel and a knot, it will be bad. "Don't worry too much, there's no end to it."

"Erniang is right." Lin Long exhaled a turbid breath, he definitely couldn't help but mess around at this moment, "Let's go into the village and have a look." ”

The carriage drove into Chen Village, and the men, women, and children in the village did not sleep all night, busy fighting the fire, and the people brought by Zheng Huahan immediately threw themselves into the process of picking up and fighting the fire, and the fire could not spread again, otherwise there would be a big mess.

Lin Long jumped out of the carriage, she couldn't care about being dignified, she only had the fire in her eyes, and she could feel the heat wave before she got close, making people uncomfortable.

Zheng Huahan looked back at her, "Sister Yi, don't get too close, lest the fire burn you, stay away." ”

"Hmm." Lin Long responded, "Brother Yi, can this fire be extinguished?" ”

"It's hard to say." Zheng Huahan said solemnly, it was not a good thing to start such a mountain fire during his father's tenure, so as soon as he received the news, he rushed non-stop, and his father was also waiting for his news at the moment, but he didn't expect that Lin Long would be involved.

When she went to the governor's yamen to tell him about it, he was astonished and granted her request to go out of the city.

When Lin Long heard this, her heart sank straight to the bottom, if she couldn't save this fire, she would have a loss, and the people of Chen Village would suffer even more.

Uncle Chen, who came to report the news to her, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, this is his home, he is heartbroken more than anyone else, his young son and daughter-in-law are all involved in fighting the fire, and I don't know if there will be death? A pair of old eyes silently shed tears.

"How did this fire start?" Lin Long only remembered to ask this question at this time.

Chen Bo said with empty eyes: "I don't know, it's just that in the afternoon and evening, the mountain fire started, and no one paid attention to it at first, but when it was noticed, it had become a fire, and the people in the village hurriedly put out the fire......"

He couldn't put out the fire when he was old, so he could only hurry into the city to report to Lin Long, after all, this little girl's money was all pressed on this mountain, and he didn't know that he sent fresh flowers and plants to her family's jade skin workshop every day?

Lin Long's face sank, knowing that he couldn't ask anything.

The village chief and Li Zheng both supported each other, the two of them smoked a lot of smoke, their faces were dark, and they looked quite wolf, they were busy saluting Zheng Huahan and reporting the situation.

Zheng Huahan was relieved a few words of relief, and saw that the shape was getting more and more severe, and hurriedly rushed to the front line of firefighting with the second group of people, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell Lin Long again not to act rashly, the property loss is small, and human life is at stake.

Lin Long naturally nodded, she is not to the point of dying for money, now she is no longer the beginning of the store can only look forward, can not retreat, she still has the Ye family's retreat, not to the end of the mountain, but it is true that it is uncomfortable.

Lin Qi and Aunt Green supported each other, their mood was the same, they had spent too much effort on the Jade Skin Fang, how could they watch it go out of business? Especially Lin Qi, she still wants to save more silver, and after arriving in the capital, she will open a jade skin shop, and the family will not be restrained everywhere, and her eldest sister can also straighten her waist in the Ye family.

During the time when Lin Long was recuperating from his injury, he took care of the business alone, which touched Lin Qi a lot, and he really took charge of things to know the hardships and difficulties of the eldest sister, and that little bit of laziness gradually died out, and he began to think more about the family members.

This qiē Lin Long is in his eyes, his sister's growth is very gratifying, although the selfish side has not been completely eradicated, but at least he can think more about others, which is already rare. Looking back at the sadness in her eyes, she reached out and stroked her hair, "Don't worry too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

Lin Qi glanced at the eldest sister blankly, this time she was really difficult to be optimistic, "Sister, I haven't shown you the contract with the negotiator, what if...... If we can't meet the deadline...... I want to pay him 50,000 taels of silver...... "At that time, she thought it was not important, and she could deliver the goods to him anyway, so she should give this article, and when the eldest sister asked, she also thought that she could handle it, so she didn't take it out for the eldest sister to see.

At this time, the more her head hung down to her chest, 50,000 taels of silver, and their family couldn't afford to lose it if they sold the ancestral house, not to mention that the ancestral house was not exclusive to their big house, and the Lin family had a share in the second and third rooms.

Lin Long's expression was stunned, she never thought that there would be this stubble, when she first went home, she had an affair with Ye Xuyao, and she didn't ask so much detail, thinking that according to her sister's temperament, it is not easy to pit her, this little abacus sometimes calculates the accounts better than her.

She forgot that her sister has a great temperament, and she often makes mistakes when she rushes in, and believes in her too much, and in the end, she is likely to be empty.

Not to mention Lin Long, when Aunt Green heard about the 50,000 taels of silver, she wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, how could she respond to this in the first place? She looked at Lin Qi, who was blaming herself, where could she still blame her? I could only staggering and fainting.

Lin Long hugged Aunt Lu, and said with a blank expression: "It's been a busy day today, and Erniang is also tired, let's get in the carriage and rest for a while......"

"I'm not tired, it's okay, I can hold on." Aunt Green refused, how could she sleep at this moment?

"Erniang, you can't help here, wouldn't it be more dragging down if you are tired and your body collapses? Now listen to me, get in the carriage and get a good night's sleep, and don't think too much. Lin Long persuaded.

Aunt Green's face was pale, Lin Long didn't like what she said, but she didn't insist anymore, stepped on the stepping stool and got into the carriage, lifted the curtain and went in and lay down, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw that the words were floating in 50,000 taels, and her heart was tense and painful.

Lin Qi saw that the eldest sister got out of the carriage again, she stepped forward and pulled her sleeve, "Sister, you scold me, otherwise my heart will be even more uncomfortable......"

She caused such a big disaster to the family, and she didn't obey her eldest sister on weekdays, but she didn't have any other feelings except self-blame and guilt.

Lin Long grabbed her hand with his backhand, "Is it useful to scold you now?" We don't have to be constrained by the 50,000 taels of silver? Qi'er, you firmly remember this lesson for me, take it as a warning in the future, you must not be overjoyed, greedy for merit, only down-to-earth, can lead to success. ”

Lin Qi nodded with tears in her eyes, the eldest sister didn't scold her, her heart was even more uncomfortable, and she sobbed in a low voice.

Lin Long took her into his arms, and grew wise, her sister was never stupid.

After a while, she nudged her away, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Don't cry, your eyes are swollen and swollen, you can't cover them with any amount of rouge and gouache, don't be annoyed by yourself when the time comes." ”

Lin Qi gradually held back his tears, grabbed the handkerchief and pressed the corners of his eyes to calm the impetuousness and anxiety in his heart.

The village chief saw that their sisters were no longer holding their heads and crying, so he stepped forward and said, "Miss Lin, this matter ......"

"Village chief, we don't want such a thing to happen." Lin Long glanced at the honest and honest village chief, when she was contracted, she mentioned that she wanted to find someone else to take care of this forest, but the village chief didn't like outsiders to enter the village, so he refused, saying that he wanted to use people from the village to take care of it.

Later, she also adopted it, as long as there is no chaos, how can anyone really be forbidden to go up the mountain? Anyway, what they want is that the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the awareness of xenophobia in these villages is very strong.

Now that this happened, the village chief who patted his chest and promised was tantamount to a slap in the face, not to mention that when he heard the words of the Lin family sisters, he was even more uneasy, and he was so tired that his business suffered.

"It's good that Miss Lin doesn't blame the old man." The village chief sighed.

Li Zheng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and when this happened, everyone's hearts were uncomfortable.

This fire saved the night, and everyone did not sleep peacefully, including Sister Lin Long.

When Ye Xuyao arrived, when he saw Lin Long's haggard face, his heart ached, and he stepped forward and said, "Get in the carriage and sleep." ”

"I'm not sleepy." Lin Long didn't want to sleep.

"You look in the mirror and see how ugly you look like this now? I can't help but want an ugly fiancée, go, go to sleep in the carriage. ”

Ye Xuyao spoke with a straight face, looking at it was quite displeased, annoyed that she didn't know how to take care of her body, and she stood here all night and didn't know how to rest, so what she said was not very good.

Lin Long was about to argue, but her body shook after standing all night.

Ye Xuyao picked her up without hesitation, and Lin Long hurriedly said, "Put me down quickly, and show it to others?" "Even if you are an unmarried couple, you can't be so close.

"Look at how many people around you are looking? Besides, you need to get some sleep now. ”

Lin Long glanced at the people around him, everyone's faces were numb, even if some people were surprised after looking at them, they were still numb, their hearts were tied to their homes, where could they take care of the young men and women who were flirting and scolding? Besides, Lin Long also saw it in his eyes after standing all night, it was too normal for a woman's family body to be unsupported.

She then quieted down, and he carried him into the carriage he had come.

He put her on the soft cushion, grabbed the soft pouch on one side and let her pillow it, so that it was more comfortable, saw her eyelids fighting up and down, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Sleep well, don't think so much, everything has me." ”

Lin Long grabbed his shirt and glanced at him a few times, then let go of his hand and closed his eyes, maybe his words soothed her feelings, and she gradually felt tired around her.

Ye Xuyao looked at her quietly for a long time, put her hand down, and pecked her red lips lightly before leaving, then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and saw Lin Qi standing there, so he ordered: "Go up and accompany your sister." ”

Lin Qi saw that the future brother-in-law's expression was not very good, and he was afraid of angering him, so he nodded hurriedly and climbed into the carriage and entered the carriage, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, this brother-in-law is really scary sometimes. In fact, she was also so sleepy that she sat in the carriage next to her eldest sister and closed her eyes, deliberately not thinking about the 50,000 taels of silver.

Ye Xuyao stayed in the carriage with the bandit stone and watched, and walked forward with the bandit, as soon as the morning dawned, he knew that there was a fire here, but fortunately he transferred the witnesses one step earlier, just to see what caused the fire? His brow furrowed in thought.

When Lin Long opened his eyes again, he felt that the carriage under him was moving, and he seemed to be being held in his arms, slightly hot, and there was a familiar scorching breath above his head, and he didn't need to ask to know who the man who dared to hold her was.

"Are you back in town?"

"Awake?" Ye Xuyao looked down at her slightly pale face, let go of the healthy arm that was wrapping around her, stroked her slightly sweaty face, took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently.

"Hmm." Lin Long's consciousness gradually returned, remembering the mountain fire, "What time is it?" By the way, what about fire? Extinguished or not? He asked, clasping his big palms tightly with both hands.

Ye Xuyao looked at her soothingly, "You have slept for four or five hours, and the fire has not spread anymore, you have been controlled, your brother-in-law is in charge of the overall situation, and there is no more chaos." ”

When Lin Long heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, moved his body to the side, lifted the gauze curtain on the car window, and saw that the sunset outside was brilliant, which was similar to the magnificence of the mountain fire reflecting the sky last night.

Recently, the weather was fine, there was no heavy rain, and there was no lightning and thunder, so this wildfire could not be a natural disaster.

"Did you find out who did it?"

Ye Xuyao pulled her to sit down and didn't let her watch the uncomfortable scene again, "Not yet, but your father-in-law has been investigating, and I believe that there will be results, so can the victim hide behind forever and not show up?" ”

"But it won't help to punish them again, it's a pity for the flowers and plants of this mountain." Lin Long sighed.

When Ye Xuyao hugged her again, she didn't struggle anymore, her whole body was soft and couldn't lift her strength, when he didn't come before, she could still talk to Aunt Green and Lin Qi with full of energy, at this time he was here, she felt tired instead, is there someone to rely on will give birth to inertia?

"What are you thinking?" Ye Xuyao asked, "Come, eat something, you haven't eaten for a day, you should be hungry." Grab the pastries on the table and feed her.

She didn't notice anything wrong at this time, she opened her mouth and swallowed the food he fed, and the food went down to her stomach, and her spirit gradually returned, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of food in succession, she choked a little.

Ye Xuyao hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and fed her tea, "Slow down, otherwise you will choke again, how old you are, you still look like a child." ”

Lin Long's pretty face turned red, and he hurriedly grabbed the tea bowl in his hand, "I'll come by myself." ”

"Don't move, you want to be spilled on your clothes with tea?" Ye Xuyao glared at her, "Do you want me or not, it's dirty." ”

The carriage is moving, this situation is likely to happen, Lin Long glanced at the moon-white dark striped clothes on his body, and suddenly stopped moving, and he fed and drank tea, but the fire on his face couldn't be extinguished, when he brought the pastry to feed her again, she was embarrassed to swallow it again, it was one thing to not notice it just now, and it was another thing to see it now.

"I've eaten everything, and now I come to resist again, don't you think there are no three hundred taels of silver here?" He squinted at her and said coldly.

Lin Long really wanted to sew his mouth with a needle, but he couldn't get angry for a while, he really opened his mouth to bite the pastry in his hand, but his mouth opened too wide, and he actually bit his slender and bony fingers, and the sound of "brushing" his face was even redder.

The white teeth bit his fingers on the pastry, Ye Xuyao's black eyes became darker, his body trembled slightly, a tingling sensation rose, and his gaze at her became even hotter.

Lin Long also looked at him in a daze, and forgot to let go of his fingers in his mouth, and his scalp was numb from being stared at by him.

Ye Xuyao looked at her deeply, slowly withdrew his fingers, only the slightly gloomy eyes revealed the throbbing in his heart, and he took a sip of tea when he picked up the tea bowl, and the slightly cool tea entered his stomach, which gradually calmed the desire that rose on the ground.

"I've drunk this tea...... Lin Long couldn't be shy, and hurriedly spoke.

Ye Xuyao glanced at her lightly, drank the bowl of tea casually, and never looked at her again.

Lin Long muttered, "Don't blame me for not reminding you." Then he explained in a low voice, "I didn't mean to bite your finger, don't come ......at me if you're unhappy."

Ye Xuyao's forehead twitched, "Shut up." ”

Lin Long was silent no longer in a familiar manner, her stomach was not full, so she could only eat a few pastries by herself, the chefs in the Ye family's courtyard had good skills, and this was the taste she loved to eat. Half-full, she asked; "What about my second mother and sister?"

"Finally remember them now?" There was a slight mockery in his words, just now he was inadvertently seduced by her, she looked like a nobody, and he could see that his teeth were itching at the moment.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Lin Long glanced at him, didn't she just bite his finger, she didn't dislike it, he was not happy, with him, her second mother and sister would definitely be fine, "Isn't it in the carriage behind?" ”

"It's not stupid." Ye Xuyao said viciously.

Lin Long ignored him at first, men were more concerned than women.

After a while, there was silence in the carriage, and Ye Xuyao said again: "The fifty thousand taels ......"

Lin Long was not surprised that he knew that when she was still asleep, his little sister said with a big mouth, and the little sister probably wanted him to help, which was in line with his sister's temperament, and frowned and said: "Don't worry about it first, I'll think about it again, there's always something wrong here, but I couldn't grasp where the key point was for a while." ”

When Ye Xuyao heard this, there was no displeasure on her face, and she could see that she was really suspicious, so she said: "If this matter is not settled, there is still me, don't be sad about the 50,000 taels, in two days will be the day of our engagement." He pulled her over and kissed her on the top of her head.

"yes, I know." Lin Long didn't refuse his help recklessly, what does a man do with it, he is naturally someone he can rely on when something happens, otherwise what does she want him to do?

If Ye Xuyao knew what she was thinking at the moment, Bacheng wanted to pinch her neck and take a breath.

When he returned to the Lin family's ancestral house, night had already fallen, Lin Long left Ye Xuyao to eat, after all, he didn't have a good meal today, the two of them ate a lot of dim sum, and Aunt Green and Lin Qi in the other carriage were roughly the same.

Mama Su led the maids who were like words to prepare dinner, the kitchen was very busy for a while, Aunt Green saw that Lin Long left her future aunt to eat, where could she still sit? Hurry to the kitchen and see what's on offer? I'm afraid that it will be too shabby, so that Ye Xuyao will look down on the Lin family.

It's just that they are not here today, and Mama Su has no heart to buy food, she has been worried all day, and there are not many dishes, so she can only quickly send Furui and Fuxiang to the new house to borrow some food from Lin Bai's family temporarily, and it is a big deal to buy it and return it tomorrow.

After the two little servants went out, she ordered someone to pick vegetables and wash leaves, in short, racking her brains to make a decent table to eat.

Lin Long in the hall didn't know that the people in the kitchen were turning their backs, and when they saw Ruxia coming in with tea, they got up and put the tea bowl in front of Ye Xuyao, "Don't think my tea is not delicious." ”

These words were a little overbearing, Bei Shen and Bei Mingfei both looked at Lin Long in a little surprise, they didn't expect Lin Long to speak so unceremoniously to Ye Xuyao, Bei Shenshi looked at Lin Long with a little worry, and secretly mentioned that this would not give a man face, and it would be a woman who would suffer if he was annoyed.

Bei Mingfei looked at the fiancée with interest.

Ye Xuyao just glanced at Lin Long, and casually picked up the tea bowl she handed over and took a sip of tea, this tea is really unpalatable, and the tea in his capital is better than this, but he did not express his dissatisfaction, and took two more sips with a calm demeanor.

Pei's mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, and Pei Mingfei even secretly squeezed her eyebrows at Lin Long, it seemed that she had completely subdued Ye Xuyao.

Lin Long is just a good face, she doesn't want people to see her fiancé's dislike of her family's poor side, and now seeing that Ye Xuyao is still drinking, she quietly whispered: "Don't drink if it's hard to drink." ”

"The tea you served was okay." Ye Xuyao put down the tea bowl, raised his eyes to look at her, and said seriously.

He was interested in the person who served the tea, not the tea itself, so the unpleasant taste also turned into Qiongpao Yulu.

Lin Long's pretty face turned red, this person can't say sweet words, but occasionally this is quite heartwarming.

Bei Shenshi watched the interaction between the two without a trace, and then looked at his daughter's appearance in the same flowery years, and he didn't know who to promise at this time? The failure of the family is almost a foregone conclusion, and now she only hopes that her husband and son can come out to reunite with the family as soon as possible, and she is satisfied.

In addition, it is the daughter's marriage that is the most worrying, Bei Shen's was not in a hurry, but seeing the interaction between Lin Long and Ye Xuyao, how can a mother not worry about her daughter's marriage? Even Lin Long may have a good marriage, and this person is naturally slightly unbalanced in his heart.

Aunt Green waited for a long time, and then Furui and Fuxiang turned around and brought back five catties of pork, a live chicken, five eggs, plus bacon, seafood and other food, in addition to two large watermelons, not too rich, but they can cope with the past.

"The second wife of the new house said, saying that there is no need to pay it back, and that it must be done to entertain guests, but the time is too rushed, and there are no good things in the house, so there is only so much food left." Fury learned Lin Bai's words.

After hearing this, Aunt Green waved her hand at him to show that she knew that she could finally make a table of dishes, and her prejudice against Lin Bai's family was a little lower, and at a critical juncture, this second lady was okay, much better than the third room.

Mama Su and Aunt Green gave full play to their best cooking skills to entertain the future aunt, and when the meal was served, a table was full, and it looked like it was also appetizing.

"Coarse tea and light rice, Ye Gongzi don't dislike it." Aunt Green said politely.

Lin Qi looked around and thought, this is also called coarse tea and light rice, so what do they usually eat, pig food?

"Erniang, hurry up and sit down, you have been busy for so long, these dishes, if you dislike them, just go home and eat your own, Ye Gongzi, isn't it?" Lin Long said with a smile.

Ye Xuyao frowned at her, didn't say a word, and immediately ate it.

Lin Dong is a man, so he naturally wants to come out to accompany Ye Xuyao to eat, otherwise it is not very similar to a man at a table.

Aunt Green glanced at Lin Long, and didn't let her talk anymore to squeeze Ye Xuyao, how could she treat her future husband like this, so Ye Xuyao could bear her awkwardness, and replaced it with another man, I was afraid that she would have already brushed her sleeves away.

Lin Long touched his nose and began to eat, he didn't have a staple food for a day, and his stomach was uncomfortable. In fact, she just had too much self-esteem, so she spoke first to block Ye Xuyao's mouth.

"That's what Ah Long is." Bei Mingfei smiled, "When I came before, she didn't serve tea, saying that I couldn't drink her tea......"

When Ye Xuyao heard this, he deliberately glanced at Lin Long, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Hurry up and eat vegetables, you talk a lot." Lin Long took a piece of braised pork into Bei Mingshuang's bowl.

Bei Mingfei glanced at the piece of braised pork with moderate fat and thinness, and immediately ate it or not, Lin Long must have done it on purpose, knowing that she would have acne on her face when she ate greasy, so she glared at Lin Long.

Lin Long shrugged and raised an eyebrow at her and smiled.

Bei Mingfei saw that she was in the mood to laugh, compared to her expression when she knew that there was a fire in Chen Village last night, it was much more reassuring, and when she ate this piece of braised pork again, her heart was also delicious.

Ye Xuyao naturally gave Lin Long a few dishes, almost all of which were coerced according to her taste, and the rest of the people who were eating were slightly stunned, watching his actions blankly.

"You like to eat these dishes, don't be too thin." Ye Xuyao looked like no one was authentic.

Lin Long's face turned red, he didn't expect him to do this? This has only been shown in front of Ye Zhong's family, and now that she is doing this, she only feels that her cheeks are red, and she doesn't dare to look at the teasing eyes of others, so she kicked him in private, so she wants to restrain herself a little, isn't this embarrassing to death?

Lin Dong, who was sitting on the other side of Ye Xuyao, felt their interaction under the table, with a slight smile on his face.

Aunt Green is satisfied, this future aunt is more and more cute.

Lin Qi pursed his lips, and let people eat? But when she thought of the 50,000 taels, she didn't say a word.

Bei Shen is not an old-fashioned person, but when he saw this scene, he was still stunned for a long time before he could come back to his soul, it's good to be young, when she was young, Pei Yu also gave her food, but later the family business became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more women, and I don't know when this kind of warmth will disappear? Instead of a quarrel between the concubine and the concubine, how dare you say that there is no resentment?

Bei Mingfei thought about her sweetheart, if one day she could call her to death like Zheng Huahan, she would be willing, but she knew in her heart that she was not worthy of him, and now she is even more difficult to match, no matter how delicious the dish is, it no longer tastes, only tastes bitter.

The maids waiting on the side were full of envy, and their eldest girl was really lucky.

After eating, Pei's mother and daughter were a little disappointed, and after eating a piece of watermelon, they said goodbye and went back to the room.

Lin Dong didn't eat this thing, after all, his body was not very good, and the watermelon was cold, which was not suitable for his physique, so he just sat and accompanied the guests.

Only Lin Qi eats well, and the family occasionally buys it to eat, but the number of times is not too much, he has been busy with business before, but he didn't pay attention to these, but now he has to eat, so he naturally has to eat enough.

Ye Xuyao sat for a while, then got up and said goodbye, glanced at Lin Dong suggestively, Lin Dong sent him out knowingly, and Lin Long, who got up to see Ye Xuyao, sat down.

"Why is Brother Dong rushing to send off guests?" Aunt Green looked curious.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt to familiarize them with it." Lin Long said casually, knowing in his heart that Ye Xuyao must ask Lin Dong's physical condition, there are differences between men and women, there are some things she can't ask, but Ye Xuyao, who is also a man, can ask without scruples.

His concern for his family still touched her quite a lot.

Aunt Green thought about it too, so she didn't think about it elsewhere.

Lin Long went to the inner room to take out the abacus, shook the beads, fought, and settled today's account with Lin Nan first, the business is still as good as ever, she is used to her family's products, and many girls from rich and noble families are repeat customers.

Then he began to calculate the family's property, mainly the inheritance returned by Lin Gang and Lin Chuang's two uncles, and the three shops in the capital that Lin Chuang returned back were removed, only the silver that Lin Gang returned back, plus the recent earnings, there were probably more than 25,000 taels.

As soon as Lin Qi saw that the eldest sister was planning to plate, he hurriedly lowered his head and stirred his fingers.

Lin Long stopped his abacus and spread his hand towards Lin Qi, "Show me the contract." ”

Lin Qi didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly went back to the house to get the contract, and then spread it in front of the eldest sister, "Here, the person and the guarantor are acquaintances, so I didn't think about it so much at that time." ”

Lin Long picked it up and looked at it carefully, as her sister said, except for the name of the merchant, they were all acquaintances, but looking at this contract again, she saw that it was unfair, and her sister was a little tender in this regard, and blamed herself for restricting her rights when she took over the shop, otherwise such a thing would not have happened.

Aunt Green also stepped forward to take a look, and after a while, even she saw the problem, "It seems that we have been cheated." ”

"I'll go to him for a theory." Lin Qi couldn't swallow this breath, grabbed the contract on the table and was about to run out.

"Come back." Lin Long shouted angrily, "Do you know where he lives?" The contract expires in five days, and if you don't go to him, he will show up automatically, and you don't look at what time it is? A girl is not afraid of damaging her reputation when she goes out? ”

Lin Qi, who had already arrived at the door, bit his lip and turned back, "Then what should I do?" Fifty thousand taels of silver, our family can't afford it. ”

This business originally had to earn about six or seven thousand taels except for Ben, and there was a mantissa of nearly eight thousand taels left, but now it is not enough to lose the entire family.

"That's right, Sister Long, it's quite bad for us right now." Lin Nan said that since he knew that there was a fire in the mountain behind Chen Village, he had been worried all day, and he didn't have much heart to do business, if it wasn't for his mother-in-law to remind him, he would have almost made a mistake. "I also complained about it at the beginning, I didn't have a lot of eyes, if I could be vigilant at the time, it wouldn't have been deceived ......."

"Uncle Nan, it's not your fault, people want to deliberately deceive you, and naturally there is a way." Lin Long felt that this matter was not simple, but it was still difficult to say it without evidence now, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Let's go and count it later, and see how many goods are still missing?" Make a list, tomorrow Uncle Nan will go to the shop pù and spice shop in Suzhou City, by the way, lead Furui and the others together, we can only buy to survive this turmoil for the time being. After a pause, "We have more than 20,000 taels of silver on hand, and the purchased medicinal herbs and flowers and plants cost about a few thousand taels, and we can afford to give them." ”

It's just that in this way, she can't make much money, but she must be honest in business, and she can't smash her signboard.

"Okay, I'll go early tomorrow morning." Lin Nan said busily.

Lin Long gave each other another order, and then everyone went to rest first, and only then could they do things well.

She also put away her abacus and went to the inner room, let Ruxia go to sleep first, lit the lamp by herself, and was about to undress and lie down, when she heard a knock on the door, she hurriedly said, "Who?" ”

"It's me."

Lin Long heard that it was Bei Shen's voice, and hurriedly opened the door, "Aunt Bei hasn't rested yet?" ”

"I have something to say to you." Bei Shenshi flashed into the house, closed the door with his hand, and pulled Lin Long to the table and sat down, "I heard that you have to pay 50,000 taels for the goods?" When she heard her daughter mention it, she was still surprised, she once started from scratch with her husband, she knew that Lin Long had fallen into the pit this time, and she couldn't accuse others of cheating people without evidence.

"There is such a thing, but it is not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, Aunt Pei does not have to worry, I will go to buy the raw materials and come back tomorrow, and I will not miss the delivery date......"

"You kid is too sincere, the burning mountain should be for you." Bei Shenshi said eagerly, "If you don't burn it sooner or later, you just choose to burn it when you have to deliver it in a few days, which is a clear plan to trap you." In the end, he said in the posture of a passer-by: "I dare to assert that you can't buy any raw materials at all." ”

Lin Long looked at Bei Shen's in surprise, did he really do it so well? "Suzhou City is so big, even if he wants to trick me, he won't buy all the medicinal herbs......

"Sister Long, don't believe it, it's not uncommon to see such a way of forcing people to death in the business field, I experienced it when your Uncle Bei made a fortune, but we were lucky to survive to have such a family business......"

Hearing Bei Shen's words, Lin Long's heart sank, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

When Bei Shenshi saw her appearance, he knew that she had listened, so he patted Lin Long's hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Long, fifty thousand taels of silver, if you have no choice, Aunt Bei will help you ......."

The rotten ship still has three points of nails, Lin Long is not surprised that the Bei family still has shady property, but if it is taken out to her for emergency now, the Bei family will cut off this last retreat, and this salt case has come to this point, and she can be considered to understand some of the truths.

"Aunt Pei, no, you can help me like this, Lin Long is grateful, but I can't let you do this. I haven't reached the point of exhaustion, as long as I have the opportunity, I won't give up, and if I really get to that field, I can also reach out to the Ye family......"

"The mouth of cannibalism is short, and the hand of taking people is soft, how do you want your mother-in-law to see you?" Bei Shen's also regarded Lin Long as her own daughter, she had been a daughter-in-law, and she knew what it was like, otherwise what would a woman do with so much dowry? Smarter women will keep their dowry and will not let their husband's family use it at will, which is where a woman's confidence lies.

No matter what the past is, people have to remember that it is the kindness of this moment, and Lin Long is also grateful, it is rare for Bei Shen to be able to do this, "Aunt Pei, I will look for you when I need this silver." ”

Bei Shen's family saw that she didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, in her eyes, Lin Long was still a tender hand in the business field, and the other party had even done something as vicious as setting fire to the mountain, what else could not be done? "Anyway, if you have to hit your head and break the bloodstream, your aunt can't stop you, it's just that Sister Long, if you really need it, your aunt will do her best to help you, and your uncle won't have any opinions."

"Aunt Pei, I understand." Lin Long said.

Bei Shen let out a long sigh, didn't stay long, told Lin Long to rest early, and then turned around and went back to the room.

Lin Long stood still at the door for a long time when he sent her out, Bei Shen's was not untargeted, she believed in her experience, and when she turned into the house, she tidied up her coat, gathered her hair, and then turned around and went out.

called Fury out and asked him to go to the shop overnight to call Lin Nan back.

There was a lot of movement here, and Aunt Green was still not asleep, so she quickly opened the door and frowned, "Sister Long, what's the matter with calling your Uncle Nan back so late?" It's never too late to wait until dawn to do big things. ”

Although there is no curfew in Suzhou City, there are no pedestrians at this hour, and it takes more than half an hour to go back and forth from the shop, isn't this to toss people?

"Erniang, don't ask, I have something urgent to do, and I need Uncle Nan to accompany me." ――
