Chapter 002: The Man Is Gone
Master Lin was tugged at by him, and said with a bitter face: "Brother, will you give me a few more days?" I've been a little strapped latelyβ"
The Gu family pushed him away and said angrily, "you!" I'm short on money! Our fourth master is back, and the accounts are being checked! You pay me back quickly, and when our fourth master leaves, I will lend you again, otherwise we will finish playing together! β
How dare Master Lin say that the 10,000 taels of silver tickets have been exchanged for gold by him and have been lost, so he looked around with a sad face, but he didn't look at him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The housekeeper was really anxious, and stomped his feet and said, "The title deeds of your two yards and a thousand acres of land are here!" If you don't pay me back, I'll sell it!" β
Master Lin hurriedly cried and shouted: "Don't don't, don't - you sold it to let our family drink the northwest wind?" β
"Hey, wow-" As soon as Mother Lin heard that it was going to be sold, she fell on the table and cried, and said sadly with an embroidered handkerchief: "Our Lin family is going bankruptβ"
Lin Baozhu opened his mouth wide and went bankrupt?
She squeezed the embroidered handkerchief tightly, her face was anxious, this is their family's two courtyards and a thousand acres of land, if they are going to be sold, where do they live?
The housekeeper's surname is Zhang, and he is the son of the Gu family, seeing that the three of them were crying, his face was impatient, and he shouted: "It is natural to repay debts!" I don't want to embarrass you, but if you don't embarrass you, you're embarrassing me! If the fourth master comes back and knows that I secretly lend you money, he will have to break one of my legs! You can only take out 10,000 taels of silver tickets today! Otherwise, I'll sell your land and yard tomorrow to make money!" β
Master Lin almost knelt down for him, and shouted with him: "Brother! Brother! It's not that I don't pay you back, but my money has been robbed by the people of your fourth master! β
The fourth master of the Gu family is Gu Xiping.
Steward Zhang's anger flew up to his eyebrows, and he spat him viciously: "Phew! Rat! Our fourth master stands up to the sky, will he rob you of the old skinned silver? β
"No, no, here's the thing..."
...
After hearing this, Steward Zhang scolded him for a stupid donkey, and said unceremoniously: "I don't care if you steal or not!" It's good to borrow it! It's okay to sell your wife! It's okay to sell your daughter! In short, if you don't pay me back 10,000 taels of silver tickets today, I will sell all your land tomorrow! β
put down the cruel words and walked away angrily.
Master Lin was paralyzed on the ground: "It's over, it's over, my Lin family is finished..."
I saw that the maids and women who were invited began to pack up their packages and leave.
Master Lin was furious: "What are you running?" β
"Your family doesn't even have a piece of land, and if you don't run, you still drink the northwest wind?"
Master Lin was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood, as if he remembered something: "Lin Dashan, that unfilial son!" β
A little guy rolled his eyes: "I went into the city." β
...
Jinling, Mochou Lake.
On a delicate painting boat in the middle of the lake.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin is really courageous, and he actually took advantage of this troubled world to become a salt merchant."
Several young talents gathered together, singing and dancing around them, and the scenery on the painting boat was beautiful.
Lin Dashan squinted at the willow waist of a singer with evil eyes, and there was a smug look on his face: "This is thanks to the support of the old man in our family, without him, how could I come?" Hahahaha-"
Several talented people immediately raised their glasses and rejoiced: "Yes, yes, Brother Lin is very blessed, and meeting a father who is so generous and has a bad brain is really a blessing from his previous life!" β
...
"This is the Gu family, right?"
In order to set off his down-and-out image of the common people, Master Lin deliberately changed the shabby blue-gray straight placket.
Lin Mu and Lin Baozhu, who were wearing the same color on both sides, both had headscarves wrapped around their heads.
Lin Baozhu's long pearls are smooth and white, and her big eyes are curious to watch the prosperity on both sides of the street, and the gray waist-tied simple dress does not affect her dazzling at all, but has a unique charm.
"It's here, it's here." Master Lin straightened his robe and stood in front of a five-wide gate.
Lin Baozhu looked at it, only to see the lions on both sides, five steps, and the vermilion gate, on which hung a large plaque of red gold and nine dragons and green land, on which were written the two big characters "Gu Fu".
She opened her eyes wide, what a magnificent mansion.
When she was fourteen years old, she rarely came to Jinling City, and basically stayed in the Lin family's ancestral house in the suburbs, or in the Zhuangzi.
"Later, remember to keep your voice down, to say good things, to be soft, and to have sympathy for the fourth master of the Gu family..." Got it? β
Mother muttered a lot, and she wrote down Lin Baozhu one by one, and shook her head with a solemn expression: "I understand." β
Her daughter has always learned everything quickly, and Mother Lin looked at her expression and breathed a sigh of relief, she should have understood.
"Get ready, I'm knocking." Master Lin turned around and said to them cautiously.
The three of them approached the vermilion gate, and Master Lin reverently pulled the copper ring with his hand, and knocked three times.
After a while, the door was opened by a small servant, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, but when he saw them dressed, he immediately showed a trace of impatience, and his voice was angry: "Who are you looking for?" β
Master Lin stuffed a silver ingot in his hand into the little girl's body, and said with a flattering smile: "We are relatives of Steward Zhang, and we have something to do with him when we go in, so I beg the little brother to let us in." β
The little guy stared at the big ingot of silver in his hand, and the look that was still angry just now immediately changed to a smile: "Looking for a housekeeper?" Then come in. β
Lin Baozhu crossed the high threshold with his parents, and his eyes unconsciously wanted to glance more westward.
Mother Lin patted her and said in a low voice, "Don't look around!" β
Lin Baozhu's expression was immediately awe-inspiring.
"Uncle Zhou, this is Steward Zhang's relatives, you take them to Steward Zhang's residence."
The little man gave them to an old man, and then he took the ingot and ran away.
But the old man was confused, and he disappeared with him.
"Gu's mansion is so big, where can I find it?" Master Lin was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
The ancient cypress here is towering, each one grows very luxuriantly, and all kinds of strange stones and flowers are dotted in the garden.
There are also a few pavilions dotted with vibrant bamboos and oddly shaped stones.
"Daddy, have we come to someone's garden? Let's ask someone. Lin Baozhu looked around, only to feel that those strange stones were stacked together, abrupt and extraordinary.
"Yes, yes, find someone to ask, this old man said to go for convenience, and the person is gone." The more he waited, the more cramped and uneasy he became, his hands kept wiping cold sweat, he was a small landlord, and suddenly he was in such a majestic courtyard, as if he was going to kill him.
As he was looking, a voice came.
"Old lady, you should come out more to relax, walk more, Yu'er's matter, and then ask Xiping to send someone to find it."
