Chapter 20: Stay
The down-and-out young woman who sold colored diamonds was Lin Shulan in disguise. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the little pepper she is familiar with in modern times, and she is a good hand at diamond fraud. Xiao Pepper's family is serious about the jewelry business, for example, the jewelry industry cheats and tricks, the elders of the family will clearly tell the juniors at every opportunity, not to make money, but to fully understand, and then avoid being fooled.
Pepper is an outlier in the family, and is very interested in these fake doorways. The biggest preference is to take the "beautiful jade" and "colored diamonds" that I process by myself, and sell them to those nouveau riche who are arrogant and hinder their eyes.
Of course, when doing this kind of thing, you must not reveal your true identity, that will smash your own signboard. Because of the "family business", the fake Lin Shulan is familiar with disguise and voice change, and her friends will naturally do what they want, and the two cooperated at that time. After a long time, Xiao Pepper learned the ability of the fake Lin Shulan to disguise, and Lin Shulan also clearly understood how to make colored diamonds.
Ordinary diamonds will be turned into colored diamonds after X-rays and then after a certain amount of hot pressing. With Lin Shulan's current level, she has only made relatively simple yellow and pink colors, and the others have to wait for another chance in the future.
Shen Xiuying's box of diamond jewelry, Lin Shulan had nothing left, all of them were processed, and she exchanged them for foreign currencies such as US dollars equivalent to 200,000 oceans.
Lin Shulan has thought about it, whether you stay or go abroad, money is a must, especially in this time and space. The country is poor and weak, and if you go abroad, you can only live in a rich area to have the opportunity to talk about human rights and dignity; At home, there is social turmoil, and only in the "concession" that has lost power and humiliated the country, there can still be peace, and the concession is also the world of the rich.
Compared to the guarantee that Lin Shulan wants to get, these 200,000 oceans are really nothing. It's not just that the amount is not enough, but it's also because connections are more secure than money. If you have money but no power, no matter how much money you have, it will not be your own, and sooner or later it will be swallowed. Therefore, on the way back to Beijing, after having a necessary conversation with Mr. Dean, Lin Shulan accepted the offer of XH Hospital.
Not to mention the dean's excited outlook on the future prospects, Lin Shulan is also in a good mood for finding a way to settle down: Concord's work can give her access to many powerful figures at home and abroad, which will be a powerful help for her to emigrate overseas alone or a large family in the future; Concord's equipment can help her financially and help her make colored diamonds without stress.
Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities have the best customer base, and the most important point is that her fraud method is not what it should be at this time, that is, there is no danger of being exposed. Then whether it is a Chinese or a foreigner, as long as Lin Shulan wants to pit, it can be done.
Just like the Japanese consul Tanaka. Lin Shulan was in Tianjin for five days, and there were only two small half-days when she had the opportunity to do her own activities, and the time was very tight, so she used the simplest method to take diamonds and wait for targets at the intersection.
There is a café at the intersection, and in the last half day, Lin Shulan sat by the window, and every car entering the street would pass in front of her eyes, and the license plate could be seen clearly; A day and a half before this, Lin Shulan visited several famous jewelry stores, and had a good idea of the price and regular customers; Before that, she had used the odd hours of morning and evening to chat with local foreign doctors and medical elites, and memorized some of the characteristics of the license plate.
Lin Shulan is not familiar with the environment, especially the current time and space, and the judgment standards formed by her later generations may not be accurate. And she is isolated, in case she provokes someone she can't mess with, and she can't get out immediately, it will be very troublesome.
Originally, the plan was to sell the yellow diamond ring, because the target was the aunt wife of a Shimono warlord. This fashionable aunt is very favored, keen to go to the hospital to wash the intestines to maintain youth, and the trip to the jewelry store to buy jewelry is the process of washing the intestines, and it is difficult to hide her proudness.
The warlord of Shimono, who lives in the concession, can only be a rich apartment, and such a person can start. But when the cars of the British consul and the Japanese consul drove one after another and stopped at the gate of Baohe Building, Lin Shulan immediately changed her goal.
Sure enough, all the goods were cleared, and the appearance of the Tanaka people was really an unexpected joy!
There are still a few days left in December, and both sides said that they would go to work on the 1st, and the monthly salary would be tentatively set at 350 yuan. This is quite a considerable figure, and the world-famous university scholars of Tsinghua University and Peking University are not much higher than this number a month, and the thrifty families are enough for two or three years of living expenses.
Letting Lin Shulan go to the United States to continue her studies was originally a decision made by women based on their feelings, and Lin Shulan was already the only root of the Lin family, so naturally the farther away from danger, the better. But in the past two days, I packed my bags, returned to my senses, and brought out all the problems.
The first question is, what about the candidates who accompany Lin Shulan? Uncle Qing is no longer there, and there is no man of the right age in the family now. A girl who is alone in a foreign country is simply a fat sheep in the eyes of everyone, and the greed that flashes in her mind is very likely to become trouble or harassment in Lin Shulan's real life. No matter how good your skills are, you can't guarantee a peaceful life, and the possible benefits of bullying a foreign girl who is alone will definitely outweigh the risks, because the risks may not even exist.
Zheng Wenzhi means that the eldest son Guan Shoucheng is in the third grade at Tsinghua University, with good grades, and originally planned to study in Europe after graduation, but now he can ask foreign professors from the school to help him apply to universities in the United States in advance.
Shu Yufeng denied it at the time: "Shoucheng is the eldest son of his brother-in-law, how can he let him interrupt his studies for Shulan, no." ”
Zheng Wenzhi also knew that his idea was not very good, but: "There is no other way, Shoucheng makes sense, and he is a big boy, so we can't go to one of our sisters!" ”
Shu Yufeng sighed: "A few years ago, Shulan was young, and she only knew how ******** could study, and we couldn't teach it far away, and the child didn't even have a good friend, so I couldn't support someone at this time." ”
He Wanzhi hesitated again and again, and said, "Eldest sister, why don't you leave Shulan first?" ”
Shu Yufeng looked at her and didn't speak, He Wanzhi was already red-eyed at this time: "Shulan left last time for a few years, she will be seventeen in a blink of an eye, and she won't be able to stay at home for a few years, and when she goes out in the future, how can it be so easy to come home, I want her to stay with me for a few days......"
As soon as he spoke, there was silence in the room. He Wanzhi said tactfully, but they all understood her mood. These days, the news in the newspapers has been worse than the other, and it is already a fact that the entire northeast has fallen. That night was in a hurry, there was no time to prepare, and there were only a dozen people rushing up at home, all of them were light weapons, how to fight with the well-equipped Japanese Kwantung Army?
Lin Zhengfang has no news yet, Lin Shulan, as his only bloodline, is the hope of the family. When the life and death of the family are undecided, Lin Shulan is the spirit of this family. If Lin Zhengfang really can't come back, at the very least, Lin Shulan will have to go through filial piety and kowtow in front of the spirit before she can continue her business.
It is our duty to be a child.
Liu Jin'e's tears couldn't be stopped, as soon as her tears fell, where could He Wanzhi still hold back? Her temperament is the softest of the four wives and concubines, Shu Yufeng cried silently, and she was already choked up.
With this crying, Lin Shulan didn't have to find an excuse to persuade a few mothers to let her stay. It's just that as soon as the hospital's letter of appointment came out, they were in tears again, this time for their "sensibleness".
Zheng Wenzhi stroked Lin Shulan's back and smiled with tears: "It's not in vain that your grandfather's eyes hurt you......"
Liu Jin'e wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Shulan's hospital is not close, I'll go back to my parents' house and ask my brother to find a good car. ”
Shu Yufeng also collected her tears: "You still want to do something, just do it, it's late today, I'll go with you tomorrow." We've been here for so long, and I've been in trouble with my brother-in-law, so I have to thank you in person. ”
Liu Jin'e naturally excused herself: "Eldest sister, it's far away, it's not a big deal, where do you have to thank you?" ”
"It's been more than half a month since Shulan was discharged from the hospital, and I should have come to the door a long time ago, but I didn't want to say thank you, but I also had to say hello to the old lady of my in-laws, so it was decided."
Liu Jin'e is the concubine of the Lin family, and according to the old rules, her maiden family is not a serious relative, and her mother does not deserve Shu Yufeng, the mother of the Lin family, as an "old lady of the family". But at this time, the atmosphere gradually opened, the rules were loosened, and the difference between wives and concubines was not much different.
Shu Yufeng grew up in the reckless rivers and lakes, and she didn't care much about these things, but at this time, she received a lot of help from Liu Jin'e's mother's family, so she naturally knew how to do it. prepared snacks and fruits according to the etiquette of visiting the elders, and went to Liu Jin'e's mother's house neatly dressed.
Liu Jin'e's maiden family deals in medicinal materials, and it is a time-honored brand in the industry. It's been a long time, but the scale is not too large, it is said to be guarding the ancestral teachings, quite a bit of contentment is a blessing, and a small wealth is a safe posture. Liu Jin'e's father has passed away, her mother is still there, living in the main house of the main courtyard, and the two elder brothers are separated from home, one is east and one is west.
Liu Jin'e sent a letter to her parents' family in advance, so before Shu Yufeng's rickshaw arrived at the door, someone had already reported to the door; Before Shu Yufeng entered the second gate, Mrs. Liu led her two daughters-in-law to come out dressed up.
