There are five days left to go until the Chinese New Year's Eve, and every family of all ages is busy. It was just dawn, and the fields were full of people. The weather was rarely warm, Lin Zhu carried five taels of silver in his arms, his steps were light, and he went to the town with a happy face.

She has now figured out that no matter whose money it is, as long as she can spend it, she will spend it, and only when she is done with it will she have the motivation to earn it back. In the previous life, those rich people borrowed money from the bank to make money first.

She had already gone to town yesterday, and the doctor at the pharmacy happened to be absent. The doctor said that she had gone to take medicine, and the medicine she wanted to catch was also missing. The doctor will only be back in the evening. So the doctor asked her to come back today.

But when I went back, I happened to meet the shopkeeper Qi of Juxian Building. As soon as he saw her, he called her loudly, saying that the restaurant was going to have a holiday for the New Year, and there were some unused beef and meat, cooked and raw, and some leftover snacks.

Qi's shopkeeper seemed to be waiting for her. He's such a nice guy.

She knew that there was only one janitor left in the store during the Chinese New Year, and he was a lonely old man who was alone, and he couldn't eat much. These things are stored in the store and fed to the mice.

Just take it home for her to celebrate the New Year, so as not to waste it.

Shopkeeper Qi said that he would go back to the store to prepare, and said that she would get it today.

There are meat snacks, beef and meat are cooked raw, and there are five taels of silver that are ready to be spent, not to mention how happy I am.

Although the grain and monthly income have been taken away by Lin Zhang's family, there will be no shortage of what should be there, and this year should not be wrong.

She lowered her head and couldn't help but laugh secretly, this age is really good. That's what makes people happy.

She hummed a little song all the way and went to the pharmacy first. Seeing that the doctor had returned, he paid off the silver taels he owed, and said a few words of thanks, with a few words of blessing for the New Year. She looked beautiful and spoke well, and the old doctor was naturally very happy, and quickly filled her with medicine and handed it to her with a smile. also repeatedly told her to go home and tell her father and mother to eat on time.

You have to eat them all.

It's really an insider's doorway, an outsider's liveliness. As soon as the doctor saw the prescription, he knew that it was for the treatment of infertility, and knew that it was taken by the husband and wife together.

Lin Zhu took the medicine and went to Juxian Building. The shopkeeper Qi was not there, and the basket of things given to her was at the counter. The handsome shopkeeper who had just arrived smiled and handed the basket to her and said, "Miss Zhu'er." It's waiting for you. Stuff is handed over to you. I can go home for the New Year. My mother is still waiting for my wheat, and the moon is there. ”

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old shopkeeper came here not long ago, and he could get the money to his mother, and he left happily. Lin Shu lifted the cloth covering the basket. I saw that there were five or six catties of cooked beef in it. Five or six pounds of raw beef. Pig's trotters, pig's ears, and elbows. There are about three or four catties of snacks wrapped in the paper bag, and there is a little skin jelly.

Cooked beef is a fine beef shank meat with a bright color. The meat is tight, and there are soft beef tendons on the sides. At first glance, the raw beef is the freshest and most tender loin on the cow, and it is still bright red, so it should be the freshest. The pig's trotters and pig ears are all marinated, red and black, and they look very appetizing.

The forest plants are covered with a cage cloth. A warm current instantly spread throughout the body.

Such a good meat will never be leftover, and the hotel will leave such a good thing behind.

It must have been specially left for her by Yan Wuwu. Lin Zhu's heart was warm, Yan Wuwu was really a careful and warm man, and he asked Dabao to bring a few pieces of cloth just a few days ago, including pure cotton, coarse cloth and satin silk. Those who don't know the truth will think that these are dowry. Frightened, Cai Er and his wife put it away in a panic and locked it in the cabinet. As the saying goes, if you don't get anything, you have already been rewarded with monthly rations and given so much cloth.

Cai Erniang said vigorously: These things are a little unclear, so it's better not to use them.

It doesn't matter whether these things are used or not, anyway, she thinks that although it is a person, a horse's clothes and a saddle, and a good horse with a good saddle, but the foundation of the person is the most important.

As long as there is meat to eat during the New Year.

She carried a basket on one arm and a few pairs of Chinese medicine in the other, thinking as she walked, and sang a few words from time to time.

Suddenly it occurred to me that although Yan Wuwu was a warm man, all this should be given by Jin Xiaoguang. Jin Xiaoguang said in front of so many people that he was his own person, and Yan Wuwu should take care of her as Jin Xiaoguang's person.

It doesn't matter whose it is, since it was given to her as something that she couldn't eat, she didn't want her to feel that she had the meaning of charity, so she just took it all.

Walking out of Tianmen Town, she felt a little cold, and her steps were a little faster. Walk back along the bare field paths.

She hadn't gone far before someone asked her, "Isn't this Miss Zhu'er, it's true?" Do you want to go back? ”

When I looked up, it turned out to be Big Berlin walking in the direction of the town with a gray-haired old man with a somewhat rickety back......

This old man was the person who looked like a rural landlord at the door of Young Master Jin Zhen's house a few days ago, and it turned out to be a relative of the family.

Since she is a relative, she has to have some rules like a relative, and she is busy putting on a smiling face. He politely said, "Yes, I'm going back." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and didn't ask what kind of age this relative should be, what should he be called, and he just wanted to go back in a hurry.

It stands to reason that when you finally see a relative, you should know what to call it, and bring a greeting with a salutation, which is the minimum etiquette. But because he was carrying all the food for the New Year today, he must not be discovered by Lin Yiyi.

She didn't want the contents of the basket to be discovered by Lin Yiyi, but Lin Yiyi didn't want her to leave like this. Shouted a loud reprimand: "Zhu'er! Such a big girl, I don't know how to say hello when I see someone, say a few words, and run. Burning the ass? ”

This uncle is not only a gambler, but also a bit two.

During the Chinese New Year, Lin Zhu didn't want to cause trouble. He stopped and turned back and said, "Uncle, the carefree boy was talking to my father in the vegetable garden and cut his finger. Let me go to the pharmacy to get some medicine, and by the way, help him bring back the medicine for the past few days. I'm afraid that Childe and the others will be in a hurry, so I want to go back quickly. ”

Just now, she had quietly put the medicine bag in her hand on the basket. I hope to get by.

Lin Yiyi originally wanted to come over to see what was in Lin Zhu's basket, but he heard that it was the medicine of the carefree son. Hesitated. Carefree Boy is famous for hiding a knife in his smile, even if he doesn't smile, it's scary. , He thought for a while and said, "Zhu'er, the basket is really the medicine of the carefree son, you didn't lie to me?" ”

After asking, poke your head to see what was in the basket. It shouldn't be that I went to the town to buy some meat without telling my mother. It's going to be the New Year, and there is no meat at home except for a little grain brought by the second child a few days ago. There is no clear oil.

Lin Zhu hurriedly lifted the corner of the bamboo basket and said, "Uncle." It's really a medicine for Carefree Boy. I need to go back quickly, Childe is still waiting. ”

This lazy uncle is a thief, and ordinary little tricks can't escape his thief's eyes.

Lin Zhu only lifted the corner of the basket, and Lin saw that there were several pairs of medicines.

The basket is not too small. A few pills are placed on top. There should be something else down there.

Lin Yiyi said: "Carefree Gongzi is really a nobleman, his body is delicate, just scratched his fingers, and he used so many medicines. ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the basket again.

Lin Shu quickly covered the cloth that had been lifted. said: "Carefree is a nobleman. Naturally golden. I'm really gone. ”

After speaking, he nodded politely to the old man like a rich man. Turn around and walk back. Hurried footsteps. As she walked, she wondered in her heart, this rich man's relative was really strange, and she looked at her as if she was picking something. It made her feel uneasy.

It's the country people who haven't seen the world and is curious. Or something else. She didn't have a country or a city, she didn't wear any fancy clothes, and she didn't wear any weird makeup, so she wouldn't arouse curiosity. That means something else.

But what would it mean? It can't be that I'm curious about her background. She's adopted, and the whole world knows about it, so there's nothing strange about it.

I can't figure it out when I think about it. And they went faster and faster. There are some questions that you don't need to think about. The question at hand is to have a good New Year.

The mushroom has grown another stubble, although it is still weak and small, but it is much stronger than the first stubble. You can pick some and send some to the house. And the spinach also grew some, and the green one was pitiful. The leeks also grew a little messily. Although it is not as good as those that grow in the fields in spring and summer. But in winter it is already rare.

She quickly walked along the field path towards the vegetable garden.

The old man kept looking at Lin Zhu with a scrutinizing gaze, turned around and walked away. It took a long time to say to Lin Yiyi: "But it's okay, I only waited for fifteen." One hand over the other hand and the other hand. ”

The tone is to do business and talk about business, and it seems that he is very satisfied with the goods.

Lin Yiyi hurriedly said: "Uncle Seven, you just have to rest assured about this." Zhu'er is just an orphan girl adopted by my second brother, with no father and no mother. Although my second brother and second brother-in-law treat her well, a woman's family can't support her to the end. ”

The old man nodded, turned his head to look at Lin Zhuyuan's back, and said, "This girl is smart, which nephew is just right for you." One, you have to do your best. You don't know that my brother-in-law is about to go crazy by his son's marriage, and the bride price is a family item he has saved for many years. ”

This old man in the countryside is a relative of Lin Zhang's hometown and the seventh uncle of Lin Yiyi. He came this time for the stupid son of his wife's uncle's family, who was over thirty years old.

The last time he came to see Lin Zhu, he thought she was still young. I said that I would come back in the month of Layue. But this time, Lin Zhang's family was in a mess, and he didn't have the heart to talk about it. In addition, Lin Zhang's family saw that Yan Wuwu, Jin Xiaoguang, and the handsome young master Jin Zhen next door often went to the vegetable garden and took care of Lin Zhu. It's better not to provoke it when it's going to be the New Year, in case something is done inappropriately, it's very troublesome.

He said that he would wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Lin Laoqi's youngest son is doing a small business in the capital, and he just wants to go and see it this year. The people who came to greet the relatives at the brother-in-law's house also had to wait until the end of the New Year, so he agreed.

But he was very afraid that his fierce widow and sister-in-law would not be able to be the master of his son, so he didn't give the bride price money to Lin Zhang's family.

Lin nodded vigorously one by one and said, "Seventh Uncle,." Your old man just have to go to my brother's house for the New Year with confidence, this matter is so decided, after fifteen, I will give you a letter. ”

My mother told him about this yesterday, and said very solemnly. This is Lin Daliang's daughter-in-law.

Although he was a gambler, he never cared about his family's affairs. But he knows that as a man, it is a big wish in life to marry a daughter-in-law for his son.

He has no ability to marry his son's daughter-in-law, and he will go all out to get a pie in the sky.

He sent Lin Laoqi to the town very attentively, watching him walk in the direction of the casino, and did not go to the casino for the first time, but went home.

Young Master Jin Zhen, who saw the handsome and dusty young master, came with his tall servant and greeted him from afar: "Young Master Jin, come to the town." ”

Jin Zhen's handsome face said with a consistent smile: "It's Uncle Lin, you also come to town." ”

Young Master Jin Zhen was generous, and several times Lin Yi took the rabbit from the mountain in exchange for several times his silver.

So Lin Yiyi saw Young Master Jin Zhen with a smile on his face, very servile.

He nodded and said, "Yes, relatives are here at home." I just sent it away and was going to the capital for the New Year. ”

Jin Zhen said: "It's rare to see relatives in your family." Far away. ”

Lin Yiyi said: "Far." In Lishan County's Lin Jiagou and Shangougou, Young Master Jin probably hasn't heard of it. ”

Young Master Jin Zhen said: "I really haven't heard of it, is it in the jurisdiction of that Hou Ye?" ”

There were four vassal states in southern Qin. Each vassal state governed six states, three counties, and eighteen counties.

Lin Yiyi said: "It is Lishan under the jurisdiction of Qin An, and it is a place close to Jingyuan. ”

Young Master Jin Zhen sighed and said, "Uncle Lin's hometown is quite far away. ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Young Master Jin Zhen said goodbye and left. Young Master Jin Zhen walked for a while, then turned to Li Zhushan and said, "Dashan, you go and see that seventh uncle in Lin Yi's mouth." ”

Li Zhushan agreed, and followed Lin Laoqi in the direction of the capital.

Jin Zhen walked around Tianmen Town slowly.

Seeing this hunchbacked old man again in the past few days reminded him of the conversation he occasionally heard with Lin Zhang some time ago. What to say about the first month of the lunar month. One hand to pay and one hand to deliver. A few days ago, I heard Jiu'er talk about Lin Duo and reminded Lin Zhu to be careful.

He felt that this old man seemed to have something to do with Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhang's family has always been mean to Lin Zhu, and his two sons are gamblers, so he is afraid that they will be unfavorable to Lin Zhu.

After turning around for a while, I came to the door of the bookstore that I often came to, and I thought about it or I should go in and walk around. You have to make a show of it. 、

The door of the book club was tightly closed, and he knew that there were people inside.

Raising his finger and just about to knock on the door, a delicate voice sounded in his ear: "Xianggong." ”

Why did Sima Mingzhu come? He was taken aback.

It's almost the New Year, how can you casually walk out of the palace as a princess.

He withdrew his arm,. Turning around slowly, I saw Sima Mingzhu wearing a wide gray coarse cloth short shirt, with a cloth towel on his head, dressed as a servant of a large family. Not far behind him, Qinglian Zilian was also dressed in the same way.

Although the three of them are dressed as women, they can be seen to be women at a glance.

He sneered and said, "You guys, what are you doing?" (To be continued......)
