Chapter 074: The Lin Family's Catastrophe

Han Qingshan was scratched by Lin Wan'er, and then saw his father Han Laoshan, the momentum of the whole person dropped significantly, and the calm and unhurried atmosphere on weekdays was replaced by fear, this fear was unconsciously formed by his father Han Laoshan's side for many years, watching his father's words and deeds.

Zhizhou Lord Wang Qinian is also very strict with Wang Dingyuan, maybe more ruthless than Han Laoshan with Han Qingshan, but Wang Qinian's strictness is a little bright, even if the board falls on Wang Dingyuan, it gives outsiders a joyful and lively feeling. But Han Laoshan treated Han Qingshan differently, and there was a little ruthlessness and violence in that harshness.

Han Qingshan followed Han Laoshan to the Han Mansion, and he didn't dare to make a sound, and stood obediently behind Han Laoshan.

Han Laoshan stood still in the hall, glanced back at his child, and suddenly stretched out his slap and slapped it Han Qingshan's face, and a trace of blood seeped out from the corner of Han Qingshan's mouth.

Han Laoshan put his hands behind his back and asked in a deep voice, "Does it hurt?" ”

Han Qingshan didn't care about the pain on his face, shook his head, and said timidly and truthfully: "It hurts." ”

Han Laoshan was expressionless, stretched out his hand and slapped again, and asked in a tone without a trace of emotion: "Does it hurt?" ”

Han Qingshan was shocked in his heart, although he had been by his father's side for many years, his father's temperament had never been figured out, he couldn't answer well, he didn't answer, if he didn't answer, maybe it would be another slap. Han Qingshan trembled and said, "It doesn't hurt." ”

Han Laoshan sat on the main chair in the hall, stretched out his hand to play with the jade wrench on the eldest mother's finger, and said, "Since it doesn't hurt, why do you still cover your face with your hands." ”

Han Qingshan didn't dare to make a mistake, and took his hands off his face. At this time, Han Qingshan's shirt was indeed a little miserable, the left side of his face was scratched by Lin Wan'er, and it was bloodstained, and he was slapped twice by Han Laoshan on his right face, and he was instantly swollen, and his appearance was a little funny, but no one could laugh out loud when he looked at Han Qingshan's respectful face.

Han Laoshan frowned slightly, and said: "My father has taught you many times, life is only a short period of time, there is no foreign object that cannot be put down, and the goal should be persistent, but recently, your behavior has fallen behind, how to control the Han family in the future, a small Lin family courtyard is tired of coping, what else to talk about?" ”

Han Qingshan endured the pain and whispered: "Father taught me." ”

Han Laoshan was a little tired, stood up, sighed leisurely, and said: "The Lin family's small courtyard will help you destroy it, but in the future, you will have to go on your own, and if there is a difference, it will not be a matter of two slaps." The wound on your face will be like this today, and tomorrow you will find Lang Zhong for treatment, and you will feel a little pain tonight. ”

Han Laoshan is the head of the Han family, a person who speaks with weight in Lanzhou City, and the person who pushes the Han family to the first family in Lanzhou. Han Laoshan wants to take the Lin family's courtyard and let Han Qingshan study hard, this is the Han family's education method, and it has nothing to do with personal grievances. For example, a hunter shoots an elk, but only teaches the little hunter how to hunt, and the hunter does not care about the life or death of the elk.

That night, Han Qingshan was in the room, lying on the bed in pain, without saying a word, in the darkness, Han Qingshan seemed to have a smile of some enjoyment on his face, and poked a deep hole in the bed board under him with both hands.

The Lin family's small courtyard encountered an unprecedented disaster, this disaster came suddenly, but it was not so violent, like the first long snowstorm in winter, but how the snowflakes were as big as a fist, just a slight north wind, light snow, but after the wind and snow, people suddenly found that the temperature plummeted, the windowsill had frozen ice crystals, and there was a cold air that could penetrate into people's bones between heaven and earth, lingering, and could not be avoided.

The first thing is: the merchant who provided paper to the Lanzhou Book Company and the Chongshu Book Company suddenly tore up the contract with the two books, and even if the silver two were compensated, they would no longer continue to cooperate with the two book companies. Without paper, just like a cook without tea, rice, oil, and salt, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, but the printing press and the staff still have to hold silver money, and the publication of the printing press and the staff has come to a standstill in an instant, and the money that could have been provided has suddenly become "eating money".

The second thing is that the small workshops that have cooperated with the Lin family's courtyard have been launched, in addition to the entire silk weaving process has been cut into pieces, and the merchants who buy silk have also begun to find fault with the silk produced in the Lin family's courtyard, and they have said something that damages Lin Wan'er's reputation. Although Lin Wan'er is famous, her conduct has been criticized.

The third thing is the biggest blow, Jane's family withdrew from the union of the three bookstores and no longer published, which can be regarded as a complete break with Lin Wan'er. The original plan was for Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen to expand northward, and Jane's family stayed in Lanzhou to preside over the overall situation, but now Jane's family has withdrawn, just like drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the printing and publishing in Lanzhou suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen hurriedly rushed back to Lanzhou from Huai'an Mansion, only to find that the coffin had been closed, and there was no possibility of turning the tables.

Liu Hongda and Shen Songwen visited Lin Wan'er overnight, thinking about discussing how to deal with it together.

Lin Wan'er was also helpless, and the two could only sigh and leave.

Lin Wan'er knew the reason for the matter, and the problem of Jane's withdrawal from the bookstore union and silk business must be Han Laoshan's obstacle, but Lin Wan'er also knew that she had no right to ask Jane what everyone should do.

The most obvious evidence of Han Laoshan's obstruction is that the Han family wants to marry Jane's family, and the famous family is marrying. This matter exploded in Lanzhou, and the world knew the grievances between Jane and Han Laoshan back then, but they didn't know the inside story. As soon as this incident came out, no one cared about the rise and fall of the Lin family's courtyard, and discussed whether there was an unspeakable story behind this marriage.

But Lin Wan'er knows in her heart that Jane's family has been miserable for so many years, and her heart is as bitter as Coptis chinensis, and she finally looks forward to the moment of family reunion, why should I, Lin Wan'er, ask Sister Jian again.

So Lin Wan'er was not angry, nor sad, and naturally did not go to the Half Moon Bookstore to ask for an explanation, but gathered the family together and held a family meeting.

Lin Wan'er coughed lightly twice and said, "Now you all know the situation at home, it is unsustainable, and the silk business is also yellow." In the past, there was no money at home, but they could still have food and clothing, but now not only is there no leftover, but they also owe a lot of money, and life may be more miserable. ”

The brothers were gloomy in their hearts, and after a period of observation, everyone knew what was going on at home.

Baoyu was holding a silk handkerchief stranded in the Lin family's courtyard, which could not be sold, and was used as a rag by Lin Wan'er.

Baoyu took the handkerchief and spun it around in her hand, her face was full of indifference, and she said, "Eldest sister, is it bitter?" Why do I think our thieves are rich? can use silk as a rag, and the entire Great Wei Kingdom will never find a second one. ”

One sentence eased the atmosphere.

Lin Wan'er was also a musician, reached out and touched Baoyu's little head, and said with a smile: "This has the demeanor of Zhao Gan's goods." But Baoyu is right, life has to live, although it is hard, but as long as you live, you can get through it. Back then, the Lin family was even poorer, and they didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but now they are still afraid of owing money? ”

The brothers were shocked, as long as the eldest sister was there, no difficulty was a difficulty.

The next day, in order to save money, Lin Wan'er ordered Dabao and the three of them to take a nap, Baoyu and Yubao looked miserable, and they had to sleep again.

After that period of curious discussions, the people of Lanzhou finally calmed down, and turned to some emotion, for Jane, everyone sighed, and Han Laoshan was entangled for so many years, and finally entered the Han family in the most incredible way.

And Jane has never made any comments on this matter, just stayed in the Half Moon Bookstore and never went out for half a step.

The days slipped away at the fingertips unconsciously, and the wedding date of the Han family to marry Jane was getting closer and closer.

When the day came, under the instigation of the Han family, the whole Lanzhou was boiling, and people blocked the Half Moon Bookstore one after another, wanting to watch this rare event.

Different from other customs of the Great Wei Kingdom, it was customary for the man to send the sedan chair to the woman's house, and then the man stood in front of his house and waited.

When the sedan chair arrived at the Half Moon Bookstore, everyone gathered in front of the door, and saw Jane and everyone dressed in red clothes, surrounded by several maids, and then lifted the curtain and sat in.

Everyone seems to feel that they are still unsatisfied, it's so simple, it seems that it is better to marry their daughters in ordinary people, but there are still people who come out to stir up, and they want to be festive and lively.

The Han family has already shouted "up", and the sedan chair was gently lifted, although the sedan chair man did not shout the number, but the pace under his feet was unusually consistent, and the sedan chair body was stable and orderly.

Han Laoshan married Jane's family, the battle was luxurious, 100 meters of red makeup, thousands of lanterns opened the way, carriages lined up from the street to the end of the alley, the sound of artillery was deafening, the blowing and blowing were not lively, the suona and the drum were tied with ribbons, and the shell curtains were hung according to the customs of Lanzhou. The big red sedan chair is even more festive after being dressed, red and red, like a delicate flower that has just bloomed, and the bride is sitting inside, today is the most important day in the bride's life.

The crowd was endless, shoulder to shoulder, and some people fought with their heels, but they didn't care, they all turned their toes upside down, stretched their necks to watch the sedan chair pass by.

Some children jumped up and down, followed the crowd forward, and sang the ballad of Shanzhou, their voices were tender and crisp, and they were also very pleasant: "The bride, sit in a sedan chair, give birth to a fat baby as soon as possible, the fat baby is full, and he is holding a meat bag in his hand." ”

Jane and the others sat in the sedan chair, and suddenly they desperately wanted to open the curtain to see what the children looked like.
