For Lin Zimo to go out with Zhu Rui for a few years, the Lin family did not react as much as Lin Zimo expected. Although the Queen Mother didn't want to see Lin Zimo, she didn't put it on the table and said it, but the Lin family also heard about it. It's just that his own family is just a small family that has just stepped into officialdom, where can he compete with the mother of the same country? I can only secretly feel sorry for my children in my heart.

If you follow Zhu Rui out for a few years, although the family misses it, the child will definitely be comfortable, and it will save the queen of heaven to find trouble for three days.

Lin Yun had already set a good day in a month, and Lin Zimo was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up, so he sent the box gift in advance. Anyway, she is also a cousin, and Lin Zimo's gift is still very valuable. Two sets of gold-inlaid jade heads, a box of silk and satin, and a thousand taels of pressed box money, are all relatively affordable things, and other family's maiden uncles and brothers definitely did not add such a big gift.

Lin Ziwen and his wife thanked them vigorously, but the Liu family was not satisfied. Lin Yun pursed his lips: "Zimo, you see that you are all kings, why are you so cold?" It's okay to give more things in your palace treasury! Lin Zi's ink black line, two sets of gold inlaid jade heads are worth a thousand taels of silver, the box of silk and satin is not usually sold in cloth shops, and the estimated value can also be worth one thousand eight hundred taels, plus the current silver, three thousand taels smaller, put it in the ordinary people's house, just these things can live a lifetime, but this cousin is not satisfied.

Lin Yudao, who accompanied the third brother, said: "Cousin, my third brother's things are very good compared to others, how can the people next to him have such a big gift, you can be content." She can't look down on the two aunts and aunts the most, and she calculates her family's face every day, and her face is thicker.

Lin Yun snorted: "Sister, don't stand and talk without backache, who doesn't know that your dowry is in the sea, and your third brother also gave you two shops, and the business is booming, of course, you don't have to calculate everywhere like me."

Lin Zimo knew that the status of women in this era was very low, and they were accessories of their husbands. And if you want to be able to stand in your in-law's house, you must have a huge dowry to make your in-law's family jealous. Therefore, I prepared a cosmetics shop for my sister, and I thought about the recipes I knew in my previous life, from soap, facial oil, to rouge and incense powder, and successfully got it out, and completely handed it over to my sister.

The other is a jewelry shop, which directly took over a jewelry shop that was on the verge of closure. Lin Yu has been educated at home, and she basically understands piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially painting, Lin Yu is very interested, Lin Zimo specially guided her to become interested in design, and instilled some modern elements into her, so Lin Yu designed things very similarly. Generally like my sister, because my family is a small portal, people in Beijing rarely hire them as clan wives, so Lin Yu has a lot of time to spend in the inner house and have nothing to do.

Sure enough, in the ink of Lin Zi, my sister was hired by Bofu as the second son-in-law, and gave this shop to my sister, she has her own business, not only can make money, but also kill time, so that ten or twenty years later, my sister will be worn into a typical backyard woman, in case she meets a flowery man, she will either consume her life into it, or become hateful.

Lin Yu himself has also worked hard in two shops, and now his income is very considerable, which also aroused the jealousy of Lin Yun's mother and daughter. What they didn't know was that Lin Zimo was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back in time to attend his sister's wedding this time, in addition to these two shops, he also gave Lin Yu 50,000 taels of silver to press himself, that is, Lin Yu didn't do anything, he lay down to eat and drink, and he couldn't eat a mouthful of food from his mother-in-law's family for the rest of his life, so he could support himself, plus the dowry of the family, it was enough to straighten his waist at his mother-in-law's house.

Lin Ziwen is very popular, the second uncle's family has tried their best to help their family, but every time they are separated by their mother and sister-in-law, and the brothers of the second uncle's family are gradually becoming more and more estranged, his mother can't help it, and the sister is not angry: "Since you are so envious, go find such a mother's family, don't stay in my house anymore." "This sister has been pampered by her mother since she was a child, she has no talent, she has no ability, she is easy to look at the face of the second uncle's family, and she found a good in-law, and the second uncle's family added up to five or six thousand taels of silver, compared to his own brother, these dowries are not as good as the average Miss Beijing. And the girl is still picking and choosing, which is really angry with him.

Lin Ziwen has understood a lot of things in the past few years under the guidance of his wife Wang, and his family's affection for the second uncle's family has already been paid off, if his family is ignorant, sooner or later all the remaining affection will be exhausted, at that time, he will definitely not be able to support a scattered family by himself.

Lin Yun pouted, he was still stunned by his eldest brother, and lowered his head and stopped talking. This time, Liu Shi stopped doing it, and pointed to his son's head: "Ziwen, what are you doing here?" Yun'er didn't open her mouth to outsiders again, what's wrong with her sister Wang Jun ordering more things? What are you thinking about folding the vertical column here? "In the past few days, the Liu family has also been angry, and the daughter-in-law Wang has given birth to a girl since she broke the door, and she has crushed her mother and daughter to death. A few days ago, it was easy to buy a well-born woman, ready to give her son a concubine, and give birth to a grandson to put a good pressure on the Wang family, who knew that the son was unwilling to live or die, and was making a lot of trouble, but the Wang family broke out that she was two months pregnant, not only immediately sent the woman out, but also forced her mother and daughter to fart not to let go of one, and now when she caught this opportunity, she immediately had a seizure.

The Wang family knew what kind of temper her mother-in-law was making, but she couldn't let Lin Zimo's brothers and sisters eat melons, they had already done their best, so they just took advantage of this to get rid of their mother-in-law, saving endless trouble, and picking their eyes at the moment: "The four brothers and sister still have something, right?" Sister-in-law will not leave you in vain. Lin Zimo knew the opportunity and hurriedly stood up: "Yes, yes, there is still something at home in our house, what is it, the sister-in-law in the lobby is calling us." "Wang's shop has also opened, and it sells very well in the capital, plus Lin Zimo's relationship, no one finds fault, and it also makes a lot of money.

Liu's fire didn't come out, and she watched the brother and sister leave, under the eyes of the Wang family, she died down, she was not stupid, she knew that this daughter-in-law's status was stronger than her mother's, that is, she made a fuss in front of outsiders, knowing that her son and daughter-in-law had to give her some face, and she was very honest when no one was around.

As soon as they got home, the old lady and Zhou both sighed, and the old lady said: "When you meet such a person, your uncle is not blessed, but Ziwen and Yun'er are so old, if there is another stepmother, the contradiction will be even greater, so I have to settle like this, fortunately, I asked my daughter-in-law to be reasonable, and the Ziwen I brought was not bad recently, so I can rest assured." ”

After another five or six days, five carriages of things were prepared, and Zhu Rui took Lin Zimo to drink the children on the road. The emperor is better, he already knows where this younger brother is going, but he has no way to stop it, and the place where Zhu Rui is going, if it can really get better, it will be of great help to his country.

He has always known Lin Zimo's ability, but this child has always been reluctant to be an official, and now as a royal daughter-in-law, he is still very welcome to contribute to the court in this way.

The Queen Mother knew it temporarily, and looked at Zhu Rui, who had entered the palace and resigned by herself, and trembled with anger: "Haotian, you don't want to see the queen mother like this, because of that little hoof, you went out for several years at once?" Zhu Rui kowtowed: "I originally intended to go out to exercise, but the queen mother and Zimo can't get along, I think, if I am separated from the queen mother for a few years, I think when we meet again, the queen mother will not have such a big anger, please forgive the child for being unfilial." He kowtowed again and stood up: "Take care of the queen mother." After saying that, he went out in stride, and his wife and children were still waiting for him, so it was not good for them to wait for a long time.

The Queen Mother looked at it and walked away, and suddenly sat down in her seat, as if she was ten years old in an instant. She was also thinking, maybe the pampering over the years really made her face hateful? Why didn't even her children go away without being depressed at all?

The road near the capital is okay, but after leaving the capital for hundreds of miles, the potholes begin to rise. The two children gradually became impatient from the very beginning, but fortunately, Lin Zimo kept telling them some stories, so they didn't make trouble.

There weren't many people accompanying him, Lin Zimo visually surveyed, there were about a hundred or so people, and quietly asked Zhu Rui: "I see that this road is getting more and more difficult to walk, presumably the place we are going to is very remote, can we take this little bit of people?" No more bandits. Zhu Rui touched his face and smiled: "Don't you think we have been quiet since we started on the road?" The prince had 3,000 guards as usual, and although I had scruples, I kept 2,000 soldiers, and the rest became spies from all over the country. When we went on the road this time, the guards had already followed, and in order not to attract attention, they followed us before and after, and the unstable factors were eliminated as soon as possible. He said proudly: "I'm not afraid of them coming now, I'm afraid that they won't come, not only can I solve the bandits by the way, but I can also make some small fortunes and support these soldiers." ”

Saying this, Lin Zimo understood why there was no money in the palace as he imagined, these days he was in charge of internal affairs, and found that the property in Zhu Rui's account was only one or two times more than him, according to the speed at which Zhu Rui entered the money, these should not be. It turned out that it was all used here: "Do you want to keep your own escort?" Shouldn't it be withdrawn from the treasury? "That's a lot of money.

Zhu Rui shook his head: "Brother Wang's treasury and inner treasury are very nervous, don't I know that I manage the inner treasury for him?" Besides, the money I have earned myself is enough to feed them, and I don't have to add to the burden on the court. If it weren't for Lin Zimo's successive constructions, not to mention that the treasury had a surplus, even the income of the year was not enough to draw, for these, he was also deeply grateful to his lover.

The road became more and more difficult to walk, and after two more days of travel, they gradually went deeper into the mountainous area, and in the deep mountains and old forests in the distance, there was not the roar of wild beasts. Fortunately, the two children were not only not afraid, but also looked around excitedly, which made Lin Zimo feel a lot more relieved. Zhu Rui disagreed: "The children of this king should not be afraid of heaven and earth, if you think of those children who are as timid as mice, this king is worried." Looking at his stinky appearance, Lin Zimo couldn't help but screw him.

The deeper you go, the fewer people you see, and the clothes you wear are getting worse and worse, and even many of them are unclothed, with yellow faces and thin muscles. Lin Zimo frowned, grain production has increased several times in recent years, most people can be fed and clothed, and it is rare to see people like this. I couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?" Zhu Rui also sighed: "Yanshan County, a place deep in the mountains, the people have very little arable land, and it is not possible to change five county officials within three years, and now there is only one county in Yanshan County to support." ”

Lin Zimo was not afraid of anything, but: "That place is so poor, let's bring the children over, okay?" Zhu Rui looked at the children who had quieted down since he saw those poor people and seemed to be a lot more sensible, and said: "Just let them experience the people's feelings, which cannot be touched in the capital, and it is good for their growth." Besides, with so many people, the two children can't stand any sin. ”

Another day later, a tattered county town appeared in front of me. The stone city wall, which was not yet man-high, had fallen half of the city gate, and by the city gate were two officials dressed in pudding, lazily watching the people who were sparsely pulling in and out of the city, and the people's clothes were not covered, and almost everyone was thin except for a handful of ribs.

Lin Zimo gasped, if it weren't for the men sent by Zhu Rui to fight the front station to greet him, he really didn't believe it, this is also a county seat?
