Chapter 141: The Weaving Bureau is on business
The leader walked out and clasped his fists at the neighbors and said, "The neighbors have misunderstood, we are not robbers and bandits, and our brothers are all public servants in the yamen. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info looking for Lin Niangzi is asking her for help. ”
"Who are you fooling? It's still in the yamen, why don't you say that you are an official master? As soon as your accent sounds, it's not from our Yangzhou, and your dress, tsk--you don't look like a good person. It was an uncle in his forties who spoke, and he didn't forget to raise the rolling pin in his hand at those people. Lin Yujuan saw that he was still wearing an apron, with a lot of white noodles on it, this was the owner of the Yang Ji Noodle Restaurant diagonally opposite. When the rest of the neighbors heard this, they all chimed in.
"The liars have become so bold these days, they dare to pretend to be from the yamen, but they can't be spared!"
"Yes, it must be a liar, Lu Xiaoliu in our alley is on an errand in Jiangdu County, when we haven't seen what the officials look like."
"Shut up—" The leader roared, and everyone in the courtyard was startled by the roar, and there was a brief silence in the scene. He said: "I'll ask a brother to go with you to the county office, how about everyone waiting for news here?" After saying that, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to a subordinate behind him. Wu Si, you go to the Jiangdu County Ya and hand over the letter from our admiral to the Jiangdu County Order. ”
Two neighbors in the crowd volunteered to go out with Wu Si to Jiangdu County. Everyone in the courtyard was a little anxious, why? Because everyone is open to do business, they all think that they are coming to save an emergency and just drive the bad guys away, who knows that they will have to wait here for a long time. If you want to say that you should leave it alone now, it seems a little unreasonable. Lin Yujuan's own family is also in business, so she naturally understands this psychology. She saw everyone's embarrassment in her eyes, and knew that it was really difficult for everyone. She came out and saluted everyone, and then said, "The little girl thanked everyone for their help, and it is estimated that it will be a while before they go back and forth to the yamen." Let's go back and take care of our own business. ”
"But these people are still here, so we can go back with confidence."
"yes, it wouldn't be nice if they made a noise."
Lin Yujuan saw that everyone was helping her like this, and she was even more embarrassed to delay other people's business.
"Why don't we invite these officials to sit in the store outside, it's not appropriate to crowd in this backyard." After Lin Yujuan finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the leader.
The leader agreed after only a little thought, and withdrew from the courtyard with a few subordinates, standing directly outside Lin Ji's shop. Li Dajiang moved two benches and sent them over, but they didn't ask for them, so they just stood there like a few door gods, and the guests were so scared that they didn't dare to come to the door. Lin Yusuo wanted to say a few more words to Li Dajiang to stop, and whispered in his ear: "Little boss, don't mess with them." Let's wait for the neighbors to come back from the yamen, it's all at this time, what kind of business are they still in charge of. ”
After hearing this, Lin Yusuo had to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and ran to the backyard angrily.
"Sister, are you okay? Ever scared? ”
"Hehe, how can I be so easily scared. Yusuo, listen to me, when the people who went to the Yamen come back, if it is really from the Nanjing Bureau as they said. Then I might really have to go with them to Nanjing. Lin Yujuan had to take advantage of this time to quickly explain the matter.
"Sister, you can't go, who knows what they're going to do?" The jade lock was in a hurry.
"They just took a fancy to my crochet craft, and if it didn't work, I dedicated it to them. I'll be fine, don't worry. After I went to Nanjing, you have to be obedient at home, take care of your family, and go to Xue Mansion on Ganquan Road to find Uncle Jiang and his cousin if there is anything. Don't worry, my sister will definitely be back. If I really disobey the government, I'm afraid that the trouble will continue in the future, and I won't stop. You're a man, and you have to hold up your home when your sister isn't there. Lin Yujuan is most worried about the family, and she doesn't know if Yusuo can do it alone. Usually she doesn't feel anything, but this accident shows the disadvantage of having few people, if her parents are there, she doesn't have to worry about Lin Yusuo.
"Lady, why don't I go and pack up the things I used on the road first. It's inconvenient for a woman of yours to go to Nanjing with them, so I'll go with you. "Sister-in-law Li is very thoughtful.
"Okay, you go pack your own, I'll take out my clothes myself." Lin Yujuan said and went into the back room to pack her things.
She found two sets of clothes to be washed, and took out the money box, and when she opened it, there were two silver ingots weighing five taels, a small handful of broken silver, and seven or eight hundred taels of silver tickets. She put the broken silver in a purse, took out six silver tickets of fifty taels and folded two and put them in the small pocket of her undershirt. Then he called the jade lock in, and in addition to giving him two silver tickets, he also handed over the key to the cash box to him, "Jade lock, this hundred taels is the daily expenses of the family, and you can also keep the money box." Remember, don't spend money indiscriminately and don't get into trouble. ”
Lin Yusuo silently stretched out his hand to take it, feeling very uncomfortable, he usually relies on his sister, but this time when his sister had an accident, he couldn't help at all, so he could only stare and watch from the sidelines.
Lin Yujuan knew that he was uncomfortable, but she didn't have time to comfort him now. He took the two silver tickets in his hand and walked to the outer hall and called Sister-in-law Li in, "Sister-in-law Li, you can keep this one hundred taels of silver tickets close to you, in case you need it when you need it." ”
The poor family is rich, and the two women are not familiar with the place when they go to other places, and it is good to have a little money around them. Of course, it is also necessary not to show the wealth, so Sister-in-law Li took the silver ticket and hid it closely. After Sister-in-law Li told Yue'e a few words, she saw that the people in the yamen had not come back, so she thought about it and went to the shop to explain a few words to her husband Li Dajiang in a whisper, and Li Dajiang nodded again and again and said that it was right to do so.
The people who went to the yamen finally came back, and Lin Yujuan also rushed to the front shop after receiving the news, and the two neighbors said that the county order of the Jiangdu County Ya had read the letters and official documents handed over by Wu Si, and proved that they were indeed sent by the Nanjing Weaving Bureau on business. As soon as the neighbors heard the news, they naturally couldn't stop the government from doing an errand, even if they were from Nanjing. What's more, the letter also said that Lin Yujuan was invited to Nanjing to teach the craftsmen her newly created craft. The Weaving Bureau, which is specially for the royal family, looked at Lin Yujuan's eyes after hearing this, but it was much more complicated. Lin Yujuan only thanked the neighbors again, and after saying goodbye to her family, she took Sister-in-law Li and the people from the Weaving Bureau away. (To be continued.) )
