Chapter 300: Buying a New Home
Lin Zhu's worries were finally quickly resolved. Just ten days after Lin Zhu sent Fu Dou'er to General Chang's Mansion, news came from Mu Qiyue, only saying that the emperor had promised that if there was no definite evidence, Fu Dou'er's life history would not be announced in advance.
Lin Zhu just thought that the emperor would speak so well because of Mu Qiyue's face. But after General Chang's explanation, Lin Zhu realized that there were actually many relationships in this.
Now Lin Qingyue, the only concubine of the Qi Palace, is a member of the Lin family, and if she only exposes the matter of Fu Dou'er, it will be Lin Qingyue who will bear the brunt. However, how could Lin Qingyue, who had the Lin family behind her, give in easily? Regardless of whether Fu Dou'er and his mother's affairs were done by her or not, even if she was the most suspicious, the Lin family would help her make a big deal small.
The emperor will definitely not offend the Lin family, an important minister in the court, because of a person who has been dead for a long time and has no background.
If you really want to move Lin Qingyue, you have to come up with all the evidence that she can't refute. In this way, the Lin family will not shield her.
There are many ways to make up for Fu Dou'er, and the emperor is definitely unwilling to directly confront the Lin family, causing some turmoil in the court.
Lin Zhu listened to General Chang's explanation, although she felt a little sad for Fu Dou'er in her heart, but since Fu Dou'er could still be by her side, she was willing to cooperate with their approach.
However, what Lin Sheng thought was that when Fu Dou'er grew up and could not recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, she would also tell him his true life experience, and it would be up to him to decide whether to recognize his father or not.
Of course, in order to settle down your life. This kind of thought, Lin Zhu will not mention it to anyone, nor will he show it.
The sales of Zhuji sake can be said to be profitable, so Lin Zhu has a very rich income before the Chinese New Year. Coupled with the production of the bamboo garden and the current Zhuangzi, the small treasury of Lin Zhu is more abundant.
For this reason, Lin Zhu specially sealed a red envelope for the people in the current Zhuangzi and the people in the bamboo garden. There are several couples of people who want to marry in the bamboo garden, and Lin Zhu gave a special gift. Of course, there is no shortage of boxes for Zhao Xiaocao. Lin Zhu specially sent a pair of gold bracelets to her as a pressure box, and eliminated her slavery, because Mu Feng was Mu Qiyue's subordinate. He will not be a slave. Have your own good name. Zhao Xiaocao and her parents were even more grateful to Lin Zhu. Excitedly kowtowed to her several times.
Although Lin Zhu was not adaptable, because this was something that had to be experienced, he accepted it calmly.
Time flies. It's December. When the first snow falls. Everyone is about to prepare for the New Year.
Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er were invited by General Chang to the General's Mansion for the New Year, just to take care of them, there were no elders there, and Aunt Chang, who had always been very close to her and was regarded as an elder, was in the General's Mansion again.
The owners of the General's Mansion can only be General Chang and Chang Tianlei. And except for Chang Yi and others, there are relatively few subordinates. Moreover, after the New Year, Lin Zhu will officially worship General Chang as his godfather. It's okay to be in the past.
Dr. Zhang also thinks that this is better, so as to save them from worrying, Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er live in the countryside for a long time, and they always can't take care of it.
Doctor Zhang's persuasion also gave Lin Zhu an idea, her house in the capital is far away from the General's Mansion and the Zhang family, and now she has recognized her godfather, although Lin Zhu will not live in the General's Mansion, but the place where she lives in the capital is closer to her.
So she thought about entrusting Lu Mingtao to find a bigger house, buy it, and use it as her and Fu Douer's home in the capital.
However, after General Chang learned about this matter, he was a little unhappy and disciplined Lin Zhu. said that she was too outside, and she still looked for others for a trivial matter, and besides, the face of the General's Mansion was much bigger than that of Muyue Commercial Bank.
So under General Chang's explanation, Chang Yi quickly found a good house, which was located in the middle of the General's Mansion and Zhang's house.
In addition, although the house is a little old, it is full of sparrows, although it is small, and the courtyard of the three entrances also has a small garden. This makes Fu Dou'er, who likes to play outside, very happy, plus the small garden is well preserved, although the flowers and plants have withered, and can only be replanted the next year, but there are still some trees, which are still strong.
When Fu Dou'er saw this small garden, she ran and jumped on the pavement paved with blue bricks.
Although the house is a little old, it can be seen that the previous owner is very well maintained, and there are no traces of moth-eaten rat bites on the walls and pillars.
had to be repaired slightly, and Lin Zhu and the others could move over.
After the New Year, Fu Dou'er was almost five years old, and after listening to Feng Yuanbo's words, Lin Zhu also felt that it was time for him to officially enlighten. Feng Rongxuan, who was two years older than him, had already been under the discipline of his father Feng Yuanbo, and he was both civil and military.
And because if Fu Douer had been living at home in Wang Village, she would have been too playful and didn't like to study.
So Lin Zhu decided to stay in the capital for a long time, and then take Fu Dou'er back every one or two months. So a few years ago, Lin Zhu's house was also completed. Of course, this is the result of paying a high amount of work, otherwise few people would have been willing to come out to work in this month of the year.
Although the house can be lived in, Lin Zhu still decided to entertain guests after the New Year, after all, during the New Year, no one will be as idle as her family, and those who visit relatives and friends will definitely be very busy.
Although the General's Mansion has resumed reception before, it will still be closed during the Chinese New Year. So Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er were very comfortable in the General's Mansion.
Moreover, Lin Zhu often went to the kitchen to show her hand and cook some fresh food for General Chang and others, coupled with her approachable attitude, she won the favor of many subordinates in the General's Mansion.
"Bamboo girl, what kind of food are you cooking?" General Chang pointed to a large pottery bowl on the table, with some red soup, and two white and tender boy chickens, which were very fragrant and had a faint sweet fragrance. General Chang felt that the smell was very familiar, but he felt that now was not the season to have that thing, so he asked curiously.
"Grandpa, this is the watermelon chicken I have made some improvements." Many people have eaten watermelon chicken made by Lin Zhu, but it was when watermelon was in season. In this cold winter, where to find fresh watermelons? So, of course, you can't eat it in winter.
"Watermelon in winter?" Although General Chang also knew about this dish, he had not tasted it yet.
"There are no watermelons in winter." Lin Zhu replied, but she stuck out her tongue in her heart, because there were still more than a dozen large watermelons in her space. "But when there were still watermelons earlier, the watermelons were juiced and frozen in the ice cellar."
Lin Zhu really froze some watermelon juice in the ice cellar, but she also brought it to the General's Mansion here, but she used the watermelon juice stored in the space today, because she couldn't guarantee that the watermelon juice that had been frozen for several months could still be used.
But there are no scruples about space production.
General Chang listened to Lin Zhu's explanation and tasted the watermelon chicken happily. After General Chang moved the chopsticks first, Chang Tianlei and Fu Douer also raised their chopsticks. Since the watermelon season has passed, Fu Douer has not eaten it again, so he misses this dish very much.
"Well, yes, yes." After eating, General Chang nodded with joy on his face, and then took a sip of the special Zhuji sake, which really gave a fairy no change.
"It's delicious." Fu Dou'er's small mouth also finished eating, and I felt that it tasted as good as the watermelon chicken made by my sister before.
And on the table of Chang Yi and others, there was already a fight because of the two watermelon chickens. The five of them didn't care about talking, you fought for me, for fear that I would eat one less piece, among which Chang Shi was squeezed out by several brothers, the reason was that he must have eaten watermelon chicken many times in Lin Zhu's house, so this time he didn't have his share.
However, Chang Shi relied on his dexterity and successfully grabbed a chicken leg and two chicken wings under the hands of several brothers.
The room suddenly became lively. The so-called food is silent, sleep is silent. Here it completely loses its binding force.
General Chang also smiled and continued to eat. It is rare for the General's Mansion to be so lively, and this meal seems to make the General's Mansion more lively.
Compared with the joyful atmosphere of the General's Mansion, two are not so happy.
Old Man Lin met with Old Man Wang again. When the two met, they only drank with their heads down. Of course, he was still drunk in Xianju, and he was already drinking Zhuji sake.
"Nine times out of ten, Lin Zhu's girl is that child." Old Man Lin, who had already finished drinking a cup, was the first to speak, and the people he sent to Linjia Village had already sent back the news, although there was no conclusive evidence, but from some things it could be inferred that Lin Zhu was indeed a child of the Lin family.
"I've known this for a long time." Old Man Wang also sighed, although he relied on his intuition, but this feeling became clearer and clearer since he saw Lin Zhu.
"Hmph, it's cheaper for that guy from Old Man Chang." Old Man Lin suddenly put the wine glass heavily on the table. Said with some indignation.
"Let him be proud for a while, and when he recognizes his granddaughter, I won't be able to reason with him." Old Man Wang and Old Man Lin had a feeling of common hatred at this time.
However, the two of them were just talking cruel words, and they didn't know when Lu Dao would explain to his family and take Lin Zhu home.
They are also worried about Lin Zhu, this kind of thing is not easy for anyone to accept. Besides, Lin Zhu is now protected by General Chang, and I heard that Zhang Yitang, the imperial doctor before the hair, is also her godgrandfather.
Both of them found it a little too tricky.
"By the way, I heard that this Zhuji sake has a share of our granddaughter." Old Man Lin shared the inside information he got with Old Man Wang, making him as jealous of General Chang and Old Doctor Zhang as he was.
"Really?" Old Man Wang's eyes widened, he knew that Lin Zhu was not bad for money now, but he didn't expect her to have this kind of ability, and even something as famous as Zhuji sake could have her share.
"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Old Man Lin drank another glass, it was really delicious, but unfortunately there was only one pot of wine at a table, and the amount was too small.
When Old Man Wang thought of this, he was even more blushing at General Chang and Doctor Zhang, Lin Zhu would definitely enter filial piety, and isn't this Zhuji sake a good thing to enter filial piety?
I believe that all the people who are good at drinking wine in the capital will be proud to be able to drink this kind of wine every day. (To be continued......)
