237 Marriage Ceremony (3rd Thanks, "Lamp D, Wait for Lamp, Wait for Lamp")
Make sure that the rinse is complete, and finally the cloth is dried. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this way, under Lin Anye's request and guidance, the brightly colored and beautiful cloth was dyed.
"Young master, standing outside the door is a guest from the capital, and he didn't say who it was, but he said that he wanted to place an order of 100,000 yuan." Uncle Zhang walked in and handed over a large bill stamped with the capital ticket number to Lin Anye, as well as a bag of silver, and handed it to Lin Anye.
"Oh, have you already taken the order?" Lin Anye's face fell, "Uncle Zhang, didn't I say it?" I don't know what to do, no matter how much money you give, don't take a job, why are you-"
"It was Master Lin who just saw it, so he agreed." Uncle Zhang sighed and said, "Young master, this time is not as good as in the past, now we have to levy so many taxes, and the government has such a large expense, if you don't hurry up to take a big order, I'm afraid that you won't be able to boost morale." β
Lin Anye also knew that in order to deal with him, the Xie family opened a total of more than a dozen dyeing workshops one after another within three days, all of which imitated the craftsmanship of the Lin family's dyeing workshop, but they were afraid that they wanted to crush the Lin family's dyeing workshop.
Such a large order can indeed solve the urgent need.
"Since Daddy has agreed to take the order, let's start dyeing." Lin Anye said, "Call the wooden iron ox over, this time I will personally supervise the dyeing." β
This visitor from the capital, the people of the Lin family not only don't know where he came from, but they don't even have confidence that they will be able to dye it lustfully within the time he specified, because the cloth he picked is also very strange and colorful.
However, the Lin family, who was forced into a corner by the Xie family, did not find any flaws that they might easily find in ordinary times.
The chrysanthemums in Li Yan's house are blooming just right, white and yellow, bright like paintings, and Erya and a few slaves are building branches.
Although she was pregnant with a baby, Erya was affected by her first pregnancy, and her pregnancy reaction was obvious, and she always wanted to vomit. So Li Yan asked the slave maid to take Erya to take care of the flowers and plants and cultivate her sentiments, but she felt better.
Xie Ling and Meiya took Ah Yuan and Li Ze to practice calligraphy and painting in the study, watched the Dragon Boat Festival for a while, and walked out in the corridor of Li's house. The pond is full of green water, and a few white ducks float on the water, revealing their orange flippers, and the withered lotus leaves shrink into a messy mess.
Dragon Boat Festival sat by the pond for a while, feeling bored, and walked around Li's house again.
Li Yan's family and Li Yuanbao's father's family have been separated and become independent houses, but they are still very big, although they are only small businessmen, the slaves and maids in the house know the rules very well, the work is in order, and the stewardship is up and down, it seems that although there is no family in the house, Li Yan has been very well organized.
Walking and walking, the Dragon Boat Festival saw Erya.
"My sister cut a plate of chrysanthemums so beautifully." Dragon Boat Festival hugged Erya's arm and said coquettishly.
Erya smiled: "Don't laugh at me, just now there was a slave and maid who said how I cut a good pot of flowers into dead branches." β
"Which slave is so bold that she dares to laugh at the young grandmother." The Dragon Boat Festival glanced at the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids acted casually, and looked at the second girl with great disrespect.
It seems that Erya's mentality is soft and too lenient to slaves and maids, if it weren't for Li Yan, Erya alone would not be able to govern the entire Li Mansion at all.
However, after all, the Dragon Boat Festival is just a guest house, and it is inconvenient to say anything, so he said to the slave maid: "You bring me a chair, and two bowls of sour plum soup, and then you can retreat." β
And the slaves and maidservants withdrew.
The Dragon Boat Festival sat down, took Erya's hand and asked, "Sister, have you come up with a good name for the child?" β
Eryafan's face shook and said with a smile: "Not yet, I heard my husband say that he likes the word Kang and wants to give the child a Kang word." β
Dragon Boat Festival hurriedly said: "You can't call Kang." β
"Why?"
"Not really. Sister to remember. The more the Dragon Boat Festival didn't say it, the more curious Erya became.
"Isn't there something conflicting?"
But how can the Dragon Boat Festival say that their father's name is Yang Kang, so the son born to him can't be called Kang anymore, otherwise he will break the taboo.
Erya was no longer entangled, and said, "I heard that the Lin family's dyeing workshop has encountered some trouble. Not to mention that the tax revenue is more than half, more than a dozen dyeing workshops of the same type have been opened in the town, which is clearly aimed at suppressing the Lin family. I heard that many dyers had no confidence in the Lin family's dyeing workshop and left their jobs. β
The Dragon Boat Festival was stunned, it seems that this time, the Xie family spent a lot of blood to attack the Lin family. You must know that the Xie family spent a lot of money to open so many dyeing workshops, and they were willing to do such a loss-making business, which proved that they wanted to defeat the Lin family's ambition.
"Could it be that the Lin family has offended the Xie family? The people of the Xie family want to take revenge so wildly. Dragon Boat Festival muttered.
Yang Erya nodded: "Master Lin offended the Xie family for us." Reasoning, I should have come to the door in person to thank you, but now that I am pregnant, it is inconvenient to go, so I prepared some gifts, I hope you will help me bring it to Master Lin during the Dragon Boat Festival. β
Dragon Boat Festival tooth battle: "Master Lin should have lost his heart and gone crazy this time, or his conscience found out, otherwise how could he help my eldest brother so much." β
"Dragon Boat Festival, what do you mean?" The two were stunned.
"No, nothing. So what does the mother say? The Dragon Boat Festival smiled to cover up the past.
Er Ya clearly heard what the Dragon Boat Festival said just now, what "conscience discovery", this kind of words in the past, Xie Ling actually hung on his lips, why did he say this about Master Lin now after changing the Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival is a reasonable girl, today I learned that Master Lin paid so much price for them, and even said coldly, whoever has a little kindness to her during the Dragon Boat Festival will repay her.
The mother didn't react, just oh. doesn't seem to like to see Master Lin. Erya said.
Xie Ling and Master Lin only met once on the day Yang Zongyan got married, and then they never interacted again. Master Lin saw that Xie Ling was not polite, and he usually sent servants to pass the word during the holidays, so the two of them had almost no friendship.
Of course, Master Lin had only seen Yang Kang back then, and although he had glanced at Yang Kang's family, Xie Ling had fled at that time, and his face was covered with dust, and Master Lin had long forgotten her appearance, and he had no impression at all.
Old Master Lin always thought that they were all dead a long time ago, where would they connect Xie Ling, Yang Zongyan and Yang Kang.
"Mother won't go, then I'll go." The Dragon Boat Festival also wants to see what the current Master Lin is like.
There is not much contact with Master Lin during the Dragon Boat Festival, although the two families are relatives, but at most they will meet and visit during the New Year's holidays.
Erya was very happy, and personally ordered two pieces of crystal cake, a dozen Shaoxing shochu, fifty Yue Nu silver yarns, two boxes of pig's head meat, loaded in the carriage, sat in the car during the Dragon Boat Festival, and then drove over.
The people of the Lin family were not notified in advance.
Now facing the great enemy Xie family, if you go out during the Dragon Boat Festival, you must not leak the slightest rumor, and both sides are protected by nursing homes.
As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival entered the living room of the Lin family, something big happened to the Lin family.
The cloth that Lin Anye dyed for the big guest in the capital this time miraculously faded, not only did he have to return the deposit to others, but the compensation alone would reach 20,000 taels of silver!
Lin Anye hurriedly went to solve this matter, I don't know what the specific result is, it's really not the right time for the Dragon Boat Festival to come this time.
Lin Jingjing and Yang Zongyan came out to greet her, and the Dragon Boat Festival asked, "What happened?" Isn't that guest official from the capital rich? How can the dyed cloth fade? β
Lin sat down quietly with his head down.
Yang Zongyan said: "The guest officer in the capital doesn't know what the origin is, what was given to the Lin family is the cloth of Xishu, there are blanks, Master Lin used soot to complete the project in time, and it was good to give it to them, but in less than a day, they came over and shouted that they had faded." β
"Did it fade?" Dragon Boat Festival asked anxiously.
Yang Zongyan nodded: "The cloth of hundreds of zhang has all faded, how can the Lin family compensate for it." β
"The Lin family has always been good at dyeing, thinking that it is not the first time to dye Shu cloth, how can there be such a big gap?" Dragon Boat Festival asked.
Lin Jing pondered: "I also think it's strange, if there is a problem, how can so many problems go wrong, obviously we are all doing it according to the established process." And why didn't that guest show up sooner or later, just when the Xie family wanted to deal with us? β
Yang Zongyan lowered his head and sighed: "Then I am the one who has caused you again." β
Lin Jing put his hand on Yang Zongyan's hand and comforted: "Husband Junxiu wants to say this, we are a family, and your business is my business." β
The Dragon Boat Festival ignored their husband and wife love, "Our Daming Dynasty has only pacified Xishu in these years, so there are very few people who can go into Shu to get cloth, what is the origin of that capital guest, there are so many Shu cloths?" β
"We don't know, ask him, he just doesn't say, we don't care who he is, anyway, he is here to dye cloth, just pay money and dye cloth. Of course, we can't get to the bottom of it. β
That's right, only the government can get to the bottom of it.
After sitting for an hour during the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Anye finally came back.
He saw that the Dragon Boat Festival was also dull, and entered Master Lin's room.
Soon, he came out.
Yang Zongyan and Lin Jing rushed up and asked, "What's going on?" β
Lin Anye's jade-like face, dull and gray, shook his head with a wry smile.
"What the hell is going on? You mean. Lin Jing was also anxious, and his voice was raised.
Lin An sat down at night, and a slave maid stepped forward to serve him tea, and he suddenly said: "I'm afraid that it won't be long before these slaves and maids will be disbanded." β
"What did you say?" Lin Jing grabbed Lin Anye's sleeve, "Brother, what did you say?" β
The slave was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated.
Lin An took a sip of tea before he said slowly: "Where do we have so much silver to compensate him, but how not to compensate, the guest officer said that he wanted to make trouble, if he made such a fuss, I am afraid that the reputation accumulated by our Lin family dyeing workshop for many years will be ruined." Therefore, to break off is to calm things down. β
"You mean, we're going to pay him 20,000 silver?" Lin Jing's face is as earthy as the color.
Lin Anye nodded: "Daddy said the same thing just now. For the sake of our Lin family's century-old reputation, this time, it can only be compensation. β
"But where did we get all this silver?" Lin Jingjing's IQ dropped for a while.
Lin Anye smiled bitterly: "Daddy said that if we sell the Lin family's dyeing workshop to the Xie family, we can get 20,000 taels of silver, and compensate the customer, and we can still protect our reputation and family home." β
"What?" Lin Jingjing and Yang Zongyan both screamed.
Dragon Boat Festival couldn't help but speak: "The Lin family's dyeing workshop is the lifeblood of the Lin family, if it is sold to the Xie family, then the Lin family will not become an empty shell in the future?" β
"It's an empty shell now." Lin Anye said, "The Xie family has repeatedly challenged us, and we will be eaten by him sooner or later." Dad said that if we sell it now, it will be worth at least 20,000 taels, and we still have some family homestead granges, so we can still live a good life, if they are swallowed by the Xie family in the future, I am afraid that even the family grange may not be able to keep it. β
The air seemed to freeze, and all around it was so quiet that even the sound of people breathing could be heard.
Dragon Boat Festival lowered his head, thought carefully, and then said, "Why is it such a coincidence that the Xie family is looking for you to buy the Lin family's dyeing workshop at this time?" β
Lin Anye's eyes lit up: "That guest in the capital is also from the Xie family, this is just that the Xie family wants to swallow our Lin family's dyeing workshop, so as to set us up." My dad knew that, too. β
"Then you're stillβ" Lin was quietly puzzled.
"It's already in the set, what if you don't sell it?" Lin Anye stood up, something so big happened, he was even calm, "This time it's purely our Lin family who came out to spy and did things on the dye, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big problem." β
"Spies?" Lin Jing was stunned, "You mean, the Xie family planted this spy in our dyeing workshop very early, and then played a role at a critical moment?" β
"Well, in fact, the Xie family has wanted to control our Lin family for a long time, and they didn't do it for a long time because my father listened to them more, but now they have done it. Even if there is no such thing as a leap in the sect, this battle between our family and the Xie family will still be fought. Lin Anye's fists clenched, and the joints were pinched, "This spy is so powerful that he even deceived me." β
"So do you know who this spy is?" Lin Jingjing asked.
Lin Anye looked at the sky, gritted his teeth and said, "It's the Wood Iron Ox." β
"What, how can it be a wooden iron cow? He was just a wonton seller, and his family was surrounded by walls, and he was later taken in by you and stayed to do things, and he was very grateful to you. "I don't believe it in the Dragon Boat Festival.
"So, Mu Tie Niu is really powerful, and even the Dragon Boat Festival girl was deceived." Lin Anye sneered, "After the incident, Mu Tie Niu has disappeared. β
Take a breath of cool air during the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Daddy Wood is also gone. The father and son acted together. Lin Anye said, "I guess their names are not called Mu Tie Niu at all." They won't be the real surname Mu. β
"And what's their last name?" The Dragon Boat Festival felt more and more that there was an inside story about the matter, Mu Tieniu had lived in the village for ten years, Lin Anye meant that the Xie family had carefully planned this bureau ten years ago and set it up for the Lin family?
"Ten years ago, our Lin family was even more powerful than the Xie family, and the Xie family at that time had not yet supported the current emperor to ascend the throne, so he was just a very ordinary businessman." Lin Jing saw that the Dragon Boat Festival showed an incredible look, and added, "If it is said that the Xie family began to plot to overthrow our Lin family ten years ago, it is not impossible. You know, in the past, we were better than the Xie family. β
"In the past few years, we want to take a step forward, but we have always been repeatedly frustrated, the Xie family is already an imperial businessman, every time my father asks them for help, they readily agree, but in the blink of an eye, they just coped with it. Now that I think about it, it was they who deliberately did not help us, only did superficial work, and may even secretly prevent us from becoming bigger, otherwise, why has our career not only not progressed over the years, but has regressed? Lin Anye has figured out everything, what he doesn't understand all these years, the reason is that.
"But I'm still a problem with you." Yang Zongyan said.
"Even if your incident doesn't happen, this chess game will eventually be won or lost." Lin Anye put his hand on Yang Zongyan's shoulder, "We are a family." β
A sauce-colored carriage on a country road.
The people sitting in the carriage were none other than Mu Tie Niu and Mu Dad.
"Tie Niu, if we do this, will we be sorry for the Dragon Boat Festival girl." Daddy Wood has gray hair and a long, sparse beard that hangs down to hide the wrinkles on his chin.
Mu Tieniu lowered his head and did not answer.
"Daddy Wood is also gone. The father and son acted together. Lin Anye said, "I guess their names are not called Mu Tie Niu at all." They won't be the real surname Mu. (To be continued.) )
