Chapter 343: Hands-on
As many incidents subsided, Lin Yu moved out of Yin Susu's Lanyuan and returned to live in his own home, and began to focus on his own industry and life. Since Xiaobai didn't plan to set up a career in the rivers and lakes, he began to gradually shift the focus of his life to running a family business, and there are still many differences between an engaged man and a free teenager. Now it seems that although he is not a top master of business wizardship, he is also a teachable child, and he is a good person, with a good personality, he is always more likable, and everything is going well.
By the time everything settles down, it's already the middle of the eleventh lunar month, and the early winter is not over. The weather in the north has always been dry and cold, and the wind is strong, but overall this year is a good harvest compared to last year's minor disaster. Lin Yu used almost all of this year's dividends to buy a large amount of grain, and at the same time built several large grain cellars in several manors to store grain.
And because it is almost the lunar month, it is still a troublesome thing to prepare for the New Year's gift, and it is also a matter of spending money, so Lin Yu's money on hand is not so loose. Last year, Lin Yu and Qingqing had just come out of the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, and they had just settled down a little, and they didn't need to send a few gifts. This year is different, Qingqing has become the county lord needless to say, even Lin Yu has become the prince's daughter, the godsister of the county lord of Zhaoya, and has shares in several businesses, and has contacts with many families, and they have to give each other New Year's gifts.
Last year, I only needed to send a few, and there were still Qingqing to help me, and this year I have to send more, but Lin Yu has to worry about it himself, and the Bai family, although the Bai family's uncles and aunts are all traveling outside. Boxing is also indispensable. When Qingqing took the time to come over today, Lin Yu was very busy. After all, in addition to Boxing gifts, there is also income from various real estate businesses. It is also necessary to pay year-end benefits to employees who have worked hard for themselves for a year.
"Have you already sent out all your winter clothes this year?" Lin Yu was asking about the steward's winter clothes, and when he saw Qingqing coming, he hurriedly stood up and said. "Sister Qingqing, why are you here? Look at my mess here, Pearl hurry up and clean up. ”
Qingqing glanced at it for a year, and there were stacks of ledger folds stacked on the next few pieces, which were indeed a bit messy, so he laughed. "It's a bit messy, but fortunately, I'm not an outsider, so it doesn't matter."
Qingqing said. While sitting unceremoniously on the chair next to Lin Yu, she looked at ease, after all, this is also her home. "You seem to be busy?"
"It's busy. It's about to enter the wax moon. The land rent and grain on the Zhuangzi everywhere have been reported, and the statistics must be checked. There are still accounts to settle in business, and the benefits of the family and the shopkeeper in the shop have to be paid, and I am almost too busy to die. Lin Yu smiled and glanced at Qingqing. Who made you become the county lord, so that I don't even have a helper, this family was originally supported by the two of us, but now it's all left to me alone. ”
"Hey, hey. I'm quite laid-back, and I'm not interested in the stewardship of the Qi Palace. Whatever they want. Qingqing smiled and said, "Do you want me to help you?" ”
Although the concubine and the concubine often fight for the power of the housekeeper in the house fight novels, Qingqing has a very leisurely life. None of the concubines and concubines of King Qi had the courage to provoke Qingqing, and it was very unnecessary, after all, Qingqing's status was noble, and sooner or later she would marry out. In addition, Concubine Lu has been placed under house arrest, Concubine Li is even more cautious after what happened last time, and Concubine Yu has no courage to provoke Qingqing because she only has a daughter who has already been married. And the side concubines and concubines who have sons all want to have a good relationship with Qingqing, so that Qingqing, who is favored by King Qi, can help say a few words, and even Lin Yu is very enthusiastic about the house and Wu.
Therefore, Lin Yu knows Qingqing's current happy life very well, and is a little envious, but he is not polite, and pushes a few account books to her side with a smile. "Okay, come and help me place a gift list now, how do you send these people's gifts?"
How to give the gifts of these families, Lin Yu is very troubled, the gift is too shallow to take it out, it is too heavy and there is no such intimate relationship, and they are all sent without return, which also makes people feel a little distressed. It's really difficult, Qingqing glanced at it, and said with a smile, "I said that you are too unkind, and I will handle the difficult ones." ”
"If you don't give you the difficult problems to solve, how can you show your ability?" Lin Yu blinked his big shining eyes and said pitifully, "Good sister, just help me." ”
"I can't help it." Qingqing looked at her like this, and suddenly she didn't know what to say, but seeing Lin Yu showing a little fox-like look in an instant, she was a little funny. "If you use this trick on me, it is better to use it on Bai Gongzi. I heard that he has been doing a lot of business recently, why don't you bring him in to help? I heard him last time complain a little bit about how cold you were to him, and asked me worriedly, will you forget him? ”
"It's better not to interfere with my business and property." Lin Yu smiled faintly, "Even if I really marry him, according to the laws of this dynasty, these properties are my dowry and my private property." ”
"I said you shouldn't be so cold, okay?" Qingqing felt that Lin Yu's attitude seemed to be a little too cold, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "You don't seem to trust him very much, what are you doing?" Could it be that Bai Gongzi has done something bad? ”
Speaking of the most embarrassing, her face became serious, there are too many things like empathy, white and handsome, even in ancient times, I am afraid that there are obsessed girls who are willing to do something with him without asking for anything. Although Lin Yu and Xiaobai's relationship was still very good a month ago, there is no guarantee that something will happen.
Lin Yu didn't react at first, but when she saw Qingqing's face, she understood what she was thinking, and laughed for a while.
"Where did you think of it? There is no such thing, Xiaobai's character is still good, and we got along well before. ”
"Then why do you think so? I feel so guarded, no, you've always been wary of everyone, so you're kind to me. Qingqing sighed.
"But I want to be clearer, you also know that I am not a stingy person in terms of money, and I really need it, and I will not take it out. But now that Xiaobai is good, who knows what will happen in the future. It's always good to keep some hole cards in your hand. Lin Yu said with a smile.
Seeing her calm like this, Qingqing just hit her when everything that happened in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion hit her and left her with a psychological shadow. felt a little more pity for Lin Yu.
And after thinking about it, Qingqing also agreed with Lin Yu's point of view, "You're right, I originally thought that if I got married, I would be a family, so why bother to divide it so clearly." But when you say that, I also feel like I have money in my hands. Those who don't eat and use people are always more confident, such as the county lord of Huizhu, although he has a bad relationship with the county horse. But she also has money in her hands, even if she raises a few noodles, as long as she doesn't make trouble on the bright side, no one will do anything to her. But I've heard of a few daughters from a family. The husband spoils the concubine and kills the wife, and does not say it. Even the dowry was taken away, and life was very difficult, and it was impossible for the mother's family to help support the waist all the time, right? ”
"Yes, you look at Sister Susu, you will know the Tao after a lot of ups and downs." Lin Yu smiled, "Don't just talk about me, our county lord, do you have a fancy for Ruyi Langjun right now?" ”
Although it is not very popular at this time, it is too early to marry. But in ancient times, Qingqing's age was really not small, and he would be nineteen years old soon. Not even engaged. In fact, if Doctor Lin's family hadn't made such a divorce at that time, King Qi would really have married his daughter to Lin Yun. Now it is naturally impossible, but Qingqing's marriage really can't be delayed any longer, but it's not okay to be hasty, marrying is a lifelong thing for a woman after all, if you choose a husband in a hurry, if you don't fit each other, it's also very painful.
"My father is also very worried about this matter, and there are still a few sons of the same age, and it is said that there are also good ones." Qingqing sighed and said, "But you also know that the war will break out, and this is really not a good time to choose a husband, because there will definitely be many families who will be convicted for this incident, but now I am not sure which one is innocent." ”
There is no way around this, because it is really difficult to judge which people are loyal to the monarch and which ones have something to do with the Zhang family. Those people's calculations are very fine, and they can't be seen in the crowd. If you want to know that Lu Dao and the Zhang family are implicated, marrying the daughter of King Qi is a million profits, the Zhang family wins, and naturally they can get a dragon merit, and then change their wife, if the Zhang family loses, King Qi will not care about his daughter's face at all, and it will not be too painful.
"This is really difficult to do, and your identity has gone up, but it is even more difficult to do." Lin Yu sighed.
"So my father meant to delay it, and then look at it after the war, and look for it among the civilian talents during the period, so I don't mind the identity problem. In fact, his father was even thinking about whether to ask Xiaobai to inquire if there were any outstanding martial arts people. Qingqing sighed, but there was also a little happiness in her eyes.
"This is really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world." Lin Yu sighed, couldn't help but think of his biological parents, and he didn't know how Lu Dao was doing now?
"By the way, do you know when the war will start? Have you ever heard Sister Su mention it? Qingqing suddenly thought of something and asked.
"No, even if she has a score in her heart, she won't tell me this kind of thing." Lin Yu said with a smile. "This is a major military incident, even my father-in-law will not mention it to you, let alone Sister Su Su to me?"
"That's true, but I thought you'd be better-informed." Qingqing smiled and said, "I know that I want to go to war, but I haven't started a war, and I always seem to have something hanging in my heart, and I can't go up or down." But seeing that it has been calm recently, will there be no war for the time being? ”
"Well, I can't guess." Lin Yu smiled faintly. "But with Sister Susu's character, I don't think I will be so resigned."
Don't blame Qingqing for being suspicious, not only did the imperial court not start a war against the Zhang family, but it didn't even mention it. Although there is the patriarch's pressure and support, the people within the Zhang family have begun to relax, and they continue to question Zhang Bailong, Zhang Bailong is not here, under the operation of some people, his prestige has declined, and then those Zhang family members do not trust his judgment even more.
"I don't think Zhang Bailong is reliable, let alone his background, as far as his usual personality is concerned, no matter how you look at it, it's not very reliable!"
"I also think that he is not a person who can be trusted and trusted, although his brain is really easy to use and he has a lot of resourcefulness, but he is not suitable to be the heir of the Zhang family at all, and sometimes he completely follows the rules and the opposite."
"Do you think there will really be a war?"
"I think it's just alarmist, how can it be so fast, the court doesn't need time to mobilize troops, and there is no movement at the moment. Zhang Bailong just wanted to show his unique judgment and go against everyone. ”
Such remarks continue to resound in the Zhang family and the power controlled by the Zhang family, and some people are naturally indispensable to stir up trouble. You must know that once Zhang Bailong led the Zhang family to the throne, it is very clear who is sitting on the throne, although the patriarch is the most prestigious, but he has no biological son, and he is over sixty years old. If you want to stop Zhang Bailong, this is the last time.
Under such circumstances, as soon as he entered Layue, the imperial court made a move against the Zhang family almost without warning! (To be continued......)
