23. Chapter 23
Ouyang Zhi's two scholars waited at the door of the school early, and saw that Father Lin put the four of them down. Hurriedly came up to get something. The light that Lai Wangzhan and Lin Zimo were familiar with, and was transferred to serve by Ouyang Zhi's side, and Lai Xi and Lai Xi followed them to the academy every day to study.
After a few words, Lin Huaide drove back in the carriage. Laiwang relied on his familiarity and complained loudly: "Gongzi went to Lin Gongzi's house to play, not to mention taking the minions to get some light." Ouyang Zhi kicked him and scolded with a smile: "Young master goes out to play, why do you take you a minion?" Lai Wang licked his face and smiled: "It's good to serve a few young masters!" You look at the road, and you don't even pour tea and water. The three brothers of the Lin family also laughed, and Lin Zimo patted him with a smile: "There is a future, I will remind you of the master, and I will take you to serve next time." Laiwang bowed his head and thanked, "Thank you, Third Young Master Lin." ”
A few people laughed and entered the school together, and seeing that there was no one left and right, Ouyang Zhi suddenly said: "A few brothers of the Lin family, say a few words from your heart for your brother, you should really add a few people to your family, so that your uncle and aunt will no longer work in person." Ouyang Zhi knew that the Lin family was no longer what it used to be, and there was still some family background, not to mention that his family and his family were still doing business in partnership.
Lin Zimo looked at the two brothers who smiled bitterly: "Brother Ouyang doesn't know, all the money has been added to the acres of land, and there are only a few hundred taels of silver left in the family, and my parents will not let them buy people." "The Lin family is used to saving, and the three or two hundred taels of silver have to be kept for a few children to take exams.
Ouyang Zhi was surprised: "Uncle and aunt don't know that sweet potato fans have dividends at the end of the year?" Lin Zihao smiled: "The money that hasn't been received doesn't count in our family?" Ouyang Zhi also laughed.
Lin Zimo said: "When there are dividends, I have to buy a few people anyway to help my father and mother share it." "He is not a specially invited person, in the present of slavery, vigorously advocate personal freedom, modern rich people hire a few people to serve, not to mention the people who buy, the deed of sale in hand, the treacherous people are all here, let alone the hired!
The two brothers of the Lin family also nodded: "Father and mother have been very tired in the past few years, it is time for grandma and them to enjoy happiness." ”
After a few heavy snowfalls, the weather completely cooled down. Half of the students in the class have asked Mr. Chen for insurance, and Mr. Chen's students are even more demanding.
Lin Zimo resentfully ate the cabbage stewed vermicelli meat in the bowl, nagging like an adolescent teenager: "Eat this again, cabbage, radish, dried eggplant, dried pumpkin, and nothing else?" "The children from the modern era can't afford to hurt in the winter, although there are pesticides, contraceptives, preservatives, and preservatives on the dishes over there, Lin Zimo doesn't dare to think about it, thinking about it like this, the monotonous dishes in the bowl can also be delicious, it's better than eating some strange things! As for building a greenhouse to grow vegetables here, I don't have that ability for the time being, and I will probably be able to eat green vegetables next winter.
put down the bowl and complained: "And Mr. Chen, leave two articles in one night, isn't this exhausting?" Lin Zihan laughed: "Little brother, you often say that there is no free lunch in the world, you want to be admitted to Xiucai, but also want not to be tired, how can there be such a good thing?" Lin Zimo seemed to have discovered a new world, looked at his second brother and smiled: "Second brother, I found that you have made a lot of progress and can say such a long list." Lin Zihan blushed, lowered his head to pack his schoolbag, and stopped talking.
Lin Zihao slapped his younger brother lightly: "Okay, if you have this time to bully your second brother, let's think about how to write two articles." Lin Zimo immediately wailed again: "Sooner or later, I will have to be stunned by these people." was glared at by Lin Zihao, so he had to obediently prepare pen and ink.
The days passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it was the sixteenth day of the lunar month. The school has officially taken annual leave, and the hired Li family and his wife have asked for wages, and they were happily sent home, and they are coming back when the school starts the next year, after all, there is also a family waiting for them at home.
The three brothers packed their things and prepared to go home tomorrow after buying some supplies for the New Year. Just after dinner, Ouyang Zhi led a few people over. Entering the house, Laiwang, the little guy behind him, immediately put the stack of account books he was holding on the table, and then retreated, Ouyang Zhi said to the brothers of the Lin family who were full of doubts: "This is the account book of this year's dividends, the second uncle originally wanted the account room to come over and explain, I rushed to take over this errand and come to play by the way." As he spoke, he took out a wad of silver tickets from his sleeve pocket: "This is the silver that your family deserves, twenty-six thousand taels." Ignoring the shocked eyes of the three brothers of the Lin family, he continued: "The second uncle said, this is the dividend in the middle of the wax month, there are few sweet potatoes this year, and the market has not opened, so you should earn more next year." ”
Lin Zimo knew that this was an exclusive and lucrative business, and he didn't expect to make so much money. Moreover, this is only the end of the year, and after the New Year, there are still a few months of room for profit, and in April, the weather will be warm before it can be rested.
With a prediction in advance, Lin Zimo was a little excited, Lin Zihao and Lin Zihan who were next to him were not able to catch up with the silver that Lin Zimo earned for the first time, let alone tens of thousands of silver!
Afraid that something would go wrong with the excitement of the two elder brothers, Lin Zimo interrupted: "Big brother and second brother, your brother and I have a headache about this, but my brother settles the accounts, let's take a look at the account book in front of Brother Ouyang." Being interrupted by Lin Zimo, the two brothers recovered a little, and couldn't help but admire the calmness of the younger brother, and hurriedly picked up the account book, and the two looked at it.
With the money in hand, the next morning, Lin Zimo was ready to go shopping on the street with great interest. Who knew that Lin Zihao and Lin Zihan said that they didn't worry about the money in their hands and didn't want to go to the street. Lin Zimo can't say anything, he is worried that he will be stolen by thieves at home, and he will be touched by thieves when he is brought on his body, and at this moment, he really can't wait for there to be no thieves in the world.
There was no way, Lin Zimo thought for a long time, wrapped the silver ticket layer by layer with oiled paper, and then sewed it on Lin Zihao's underwear, so that he was not afraid of being stolen or having any accidents, so the two brothers followed Lin Zimo to the street.
If you have money or not, you can buy things for the New Year, whether you are poor or rich, you are satisfied with shopping on the street. As the flow of people walked in, I bought a few muslin cloths, a few cocoon silks, and a red satin for my little sister, and my grandmother and mother never had any decent jewelry, and one person bought a set of gold jewelry, including hairpins, sticks, rings, bracelets, and other twelve full sets, not to mention the nouveau riche, which will be prosperous.
The little sister picked a set of pink pearl jewelry for the little girl and a few hairpins. bought a new cigarette pouch pot for his father, and Lin Zimo insisted on buying four mid-range jade pendants. Lin Zimo also knew why the ancient people had to hang jade pendants, daring was used to press clothes, and when the wind blew, the robe was blown up by the wind and made a fool of it. Since everyone has it, they are really not bad for money now, why don't they go with the trend and be laughed at!
I bought a lot of miscellaneous things, and it happened that Lin Huaide came to pick it up, and the family went home happily.
