Chapter 49: Folk Artists

Walking out of the dilapidated rough courtyard wall of the Lin family, Lin Zhu's heart was full of hope. Ming'er first took one or twenty paper kites to the capital, there are many people in the capital, and there are many rich families, so it is easy to sell. She had all the ideas about the place to sell paper kites, at the mouth of the alley leading to Shunhua Street. The last time I went to the capital, I walked through Shunhua Street, there are several alleys on the street, there are many high-ranking families in the alleys, and the courtyard walls of several houses occupy almost half of the alley, which is bigger than Yanfu.

She made a rough calculation, and the cost of each paper kite was five copper plates, and she sold twenty of them, and each of them made a net profit of fifteen. Fifteen, that's two hundred and twenty-five. Throw away Lin Yunlinduo's wages, spend five copper plates to buy some snacks to envelop them, and two hundred, that is, two yuan, is not a small number......

Two dollars a day, sold for ten days, is two taels, but the sum of the father's own monthly salary for a month.

It's really exciting.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I didn't look like I was walking, and when I saw that there was no one around, I jumped up and down.

It's so easy to be satisfied now, and this little bit of silver makes her so excited.

I saw the handsome and dusty Young Master Jin Zhen coming from the front, his clothes fluttering in the breeze, as if he had just fallen from the clouds. The various illusions in Lin Zhu's mind suddenly dispersed, isn't this the legendary immortal posture? Such characters have only existed in the sky since ancient times?

Jin Zhen's light was too dazzling, and the Jiu'er behind him was too inconspicuous.

Jiu'er saw her for the first time. Festive eyes flashed, and asked from afar:

"Zhu'er, why are you so happy?"

Lin Zhu took his eyes off Jin Zhen with great difficulty, blushed slightly and said, "It's okay." That is, I'm going to the capital tomorrow to sell paper kites. ”

Hearing this, Jin Zhen slowed down and looked at it intently.

I was punished yesterday and made a guarantee, why do you still want to do this kind of show-up?

Jiu'er quickly glanced at Jin Zhen, stepped forward quickly, and pulled Lin Zhu's arm worriedly and asked, "Sister Zhu'er, didn't you say yesterday that you won't be like this again in the future?" Why do you want to go. In case it is known by the carefree child, the consequences are very strict. ”

Lin Zhu looked at Jiu'er with a smile, she had a kind of trust for no reason for this gentle and lovely maid sister who had the same identity as herself.

To tell the truth: "Sister Jiu'er, don't worry, it's not me who sells paper kites when Ming'er goes to the capital, it's my two cousins, I'm just doing me a favor." ”

Jin Zhen walked over slowly and said, "Miss Zhu'er, if you really need money, I can help you, I think you should not go to the capital, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Lin Zhu shook his head: "Jin Gongzi, you won't get into trouble." I told my two cousins that they would be in charge of watching, and I would just help collect the money, give them ten copper plates a day, and buy some snacks. ”

Jin Zhen shook his head and smiled slightly, his heart was very sour. The baby sister with beady eyes of the father and mother was reduced to being a stall vendor. It's a pity that he watched it, but he couldn't do anything about it.

He didn't speak, walked back around Lin Zhujiu'er, walked slowly and walked a few steps, his steps became resolute, and he strode forward.

The trivial matter of children's love is still in the bottom of my heart, and the hatred of the country and the family is the big thing. Lin Zhu is still young, if she reaches the age when she talks about marriage and can't complete the great cause of revenge, he will tell her her true identity, take her away and fly away, find her a reliable good family, and live a hidden life.

At this time, even if you can't help rashly, you have done too much, and the hidden Jin Xiaoguang is likely to find clues.

He had already recognized Lin Zhu, and he didn't move her, probably to lure himself out.

Jiu'er and Lin Zhu talked for a while, then said goodbye and went home. When I entered the courtyard, I saw Jin Zhen standing in the middle of the courtyard, staring at the apricot tree that was already budding in a daze. Mei Jiugong stood quietly aside.

She closed the door and whispered, "Lord Wang, will Ming'er help the little county lord?" ”

At home, she and the Mei Jiu Guild called Jin Zhen by her previous name from time to time.

Jin Zhen said: "You don't have to go, let Uncle Mei run away, just remember not to show up in secret." ”

Mei Jiugong agreed, and he said to Jiu'er: "Don't remember to call the prince in the future, the county lord or anything, even at home, you can only call the young master." As the saying goes, if someone listens inside the wall, don't be careless. ”

Jiu'er hurriedly bowed her head and said, "The slave must remember." Young master, small, Miss Zhu'er said that she promised Ming'er to give the two cousins two steamed buns each, but the steamed buns have not yet landed, and the slave maid promised to give her four to send them later. ”

Jin Zhen sighed and said, "Go and prepare, prepare three more chicken legs, for the sake of Zhu'er, let those two follow with a little light." ”

The next day, the first light came through the window, and Lin Zhu turned over and got off the kang. When I opened the door, I saw that Cai Er Niangzi was already busy in the kitchen, and there were more than a dozen paper kites with long tails at the door.

Cai Er's hands look coarse, but they are actually very dexterous, butterflies, birds, and eagles, all of which are lifelike. It seems to be standing and lying, and each part of the body is made of different colors of paper, which looks really the same from a distance.

It's just that a few small birds are made of white paper, which looks like birds, and there are shortcomings in the finishing touch.

Lin Zhu smiled lightly, my father has such a craft, and it is a pity not to carry it forward but to grow vegetables. It is completely possible to be a folk artist and pass on the craft.

She suddenly felt a sense of pride, she was not doing small business, not to earn a few pocket money, but to publicize, promote her father's craft.

She neatly went into the house and brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and helped the little bird add eyes, feathers, and drew claws.

Just finished painting, Lin Yun and Lin Duo walked in neatly dressed, and the two of them looked at the paper kites placed and were stunned.

Cai Er, who was watching his daughter's painting on the side, said: "Yun'er, Duo'er, your second uncle has been tied, and they are two sunflowers." Same as Pearl's. ”

Naji is usually Muna, and he is smart in this matter. Two nieces are going to help their daughter.

Lin Yun Lin Duo heard that he also had a paper kite, and his face was full of smiles. Seeing the second lady, she brought out breakfast, a few yellow cakes, a few pickles, and a bowl of green vegetable soup, and sat down to eat.

The yellow flour cake is already delicious for them, and there will be white flour steamed buns later, Lin Zhu explained that the white flour steamed buns were given by Qi's shopkeeper, she hid them, and she was willing to show them when they came out.

After breakfast, Cai Er found a long bamboo pole and hung more than a dozen paper kites at equal intervals on both sides, and Lin Duo was carrying them on his shoulders as flat shoulders, feeling that it was not heavy at all, and flashed a few times.

Lin Zhu said, "While there is no one now, you go first." , I followed, out of town you wait for me. ”

Lin Yun and Lin Duo left first, and Lin Zhu explained to Cai Er and his wife: "Daddy, if the carefree son comes, you will say that I will go to my uncle's house." ”

After explaining, when she went out and turned around the alley, Jiu'er was already waiting around the corner with a bamboo basket, she stuffed the things in the basket to Lin Zhu and said, "Sister Zhu'er, that big chicken leg is for you, I'll put it alone, remember." ”
