Chapter 277: The Problem of Water Sources
Lin Zhu's connections in the capital are not as good as those of Old Man Du and Old Doctor Zhang, and it is even more difficult to find some good mountain spring water. Come to think of it, there's only one person who can help. That is Mu Qiyue.
Unexpectedly, two days after Lin Zhu's letter was sent to Muyue Trading House, Mu Feng came over.
"Aunt Lin, the fourth master said that there is a hill in his Zhuangzi, and the mountain spring there is not bad, if you want to use it, you can use it." Mu Feng spoke with a hint of flattery. Zhao Xiaocao is still in the hands of others.
"Then you thanked Mu Sigongzi for me." Lin Zhu's worries were completely put down.
However, Mu Qiyue's Zhuangzi is still some distance from Lin Zhu's Zhuangzi, which is a little difficult to do, but according to Old Man Du's meaning, it is best to use living water.
"Miss Lin, the fourth master also said that if you don't dislike it, you can put the venue for winemaking in Zhuangzi. It's a little more convenient that way. It seems that Mu Qiyue is really thoughtful. Even this kind of thing thought of for Lin Zhu.
"That's great." Lin Zhu thanked Mu Qiyue very much, "You say to Mu Sigongzi, in order to express your gratitude, I will invite him to dinner when he has time." Lin Zhu said the social communication words of his previous life.
In her excitement, she didn't notice Mu Feng's stunned face.
"Go and see Xiaocao, she doesn't know what she's embroidering, she's very busy, you go and persuade her not to be too tired." Lin Zhu immediately wanted to tell Old Man Du the news at this time, and waved his hand at Mu Feng casually.
Mu Feng and Zhao Xiaocao's marriage has been decided, and now she is only waiting to be the October bride. Lin Zhu forgot the rule that men and women were not allowed to meet before getting married at this time, and Mu Feng was a man. Da Yan didn't care about this, and after listening to Lin Zhu's words, he went.
"Grandpa Du, what do you think?" Lin Zhu said Mu Qiyue's suggestion.
"Well, if that's the case, it's better." Old Man Du and Du Bin both nodded. "But won't it be too much of a hassle?" Old Man Du is not a person who does not do anything less, so he naturally thinks more thoughtfully.
"It's okay, if the wine is brewed, he will also benefit." Lin Zhu also saw this. I happily agreed to go to Mu Qiyue's Zhuangzi to make wine.
"That's good." Old Man Du saw that Lin Zhu had a plan. Naturally, I won't say much.
Just do it, not only did Lin Zhu send a capable person to Mu Qiyue's Zhuangzi to build a brewery according to Old Man Du's request, but Mu Qiyue also sent someone to assist her.
However, because Mu Qiyue has been detained by Princess Changmin. I'm busy with the things of the garden party. So Lin Zhu didn't have the opportunity to thank him in person.
And after Mr. Du heard that Lin Zhu would also go to the garden party. He ordered Du Bin to take care of Lin Zhu, lest she be unfamiliar with life there and be bullied.
"Grandpa Du. Don't embarrass Second Brother Du. Lin Zhu looked at Old Man Du deliberately bullying his grandson with amusement.
"Why is it difficult for him?" Old Man Du looked at Du Bin, who was a little reddish on his face, "Isn't the garden party just for them to see each other?" It just so happens that you can also help him see which girl is suitable for him, and how good it is. ”
"Look?" Lin Zhu was surprised, "Are you saying that the garden party is actually a blind date?" This information is too terrifying, Lin Zhu thought to himself that the ancients were too open, and they actually wanted to hold a blind date conference for 100 people, which was too advanced. Of course, there must have been more than a hundred people who went.
"Hehe, haven't you heard of the bamboo girl?" Old Man Du looked at her funny, "The person who gave you the invitation didn't tell you either?" ”
Lin Zhu was dumbfounded, at that time, Mu Qiyue just said that the golden autumn appreciates chrysanthemums, and he didn't mention this stubble at all. Now what she thinks in her heart is, does Dong Yuzhen know about Lu Dao?
If Chang Tianlei knew that Dong Yuzhen actually participated in the blind date, I don't know how he would feel, and he wouldn't trouble her, right?
"Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think, men and women are separated." Du Bin looked at Lin Zhu with a frightened look on his face, and couldn't help but explain.
"Oh, then I'm relieved." Lin Zhu patted his chest.
"You should be able to see it, though." Du Bin spoke again. "After all, it's just a small lake across it."
Lin Zhu's heart had not been completely put down, and he was suffocated by Du Bin's big gasp, and he glared at him secretly with some anger.
"Hehe, bamboo girl, you just go around and have a look, don't worry too much." Old Man Du comforted. "I'll have someone pick you up then."
Lin Zhu knew that Old Man Du was well-intentioned, if this garden party was really a blind date as he said, then the people who went would definitely be more than coming, and with an identity like her, going would only make people look down on her.
The Du family still has a certain status in the capital, and I heard that Old Man Du's official position is higher than that of Old Doctor Zhang. They shouldn't be underestimated.
"Grandpa Xie Lu, but I still have a good sister, and her brother will go with him, there are too many people." Lin Zhu was a little embarrassed.
"What's this, just go together." Old Man Du waved his hand, and the matter was settled.
"Second Brother Du, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for your trouble." Lin Zhu and Du Bin walked out of Old Man Du's house.
"It's okay, it's just a person." Du Bin doesn't seem to be used to talking to girls, and his tone is slightly stiff.
"His name is Dong Wenbo, and he is about to study in the academy." Lin Zhu introduced Dong Yuzhen's brother, hoping that he would not be too unfamiliar when he met the people of the Du family.
"Dong Wenbo?" Du Bin felt that the name was familiar.
"Well, his father is a member of the military department, and he has only come from Song County not long ago." Lin Zhu nodded.
"It turned out to be him." Du Bin remembered who he was. "Dong Wenbo's knowledge is really good, I was fortunate to meet him a few times in the academy." At that time, Dong Wenbo entered the academy because he had the opportunity to take the exam because of his relationship, so everyone was a little disgusted with him, thinking that he had no real skills.
Unexpectedly, Dong Wenbo's talent is very good, and he has a solid foundation, and he answers the questions given by Mr. fluently, and he has won a lot of favor at once.
"I didn't expect Second Brother Du and Brother Dong to actually know each other, it seems that the capital is big and small." Lin Zhu was a little happy and made a joke. Zhilu said that they were acquaintances, so it would be easy to do. Tell Dong Yuzhen and them again, presumably they will be willing.
Dong Mansion.
"Mother, Sister Xiaozhu wrote that we would take the Du family's carriage to the garden party, as if a son of the Du family was my brother's classmate." Dong Yuzhen excitedly ran to Mrs. Lin's room to tell her the good news.
"Really?" Mrs. Lin has been worrying about this matter recently, she doesn't want to agree to Dong Jisheng's request, but she has to find a better reason No, now there is such a perfect reason, it's great.
"Go and call the eldest young master." Mrs. Lin instructed the people around her to invite Dong Wenbo.
"Mother, what are you looking for me?" Although he finally rested at home, Dong Wenbo still did not relax, and was called by his subordinates in the study just now.
"There is a Du Bin son in the Du family, do you know him?" Mrs. Lin asked as she asked someone to serve him tea.
"Second Prince Du?" Dong Wenbo is naturally the person who knows Lu Dao, and he has been in the academy for a while, and some people also remember, "Zhi Lu Dao has also met a few times, but he is not very familiar with it. ”
"Xiaozhu knows the people of his family, the garden party, and his family will send a carriage to pick you up." Mrs. Lin said happily.
"Well, it's not good." Dong Wenbo was a little hesitant, he was not very close to Du Bin, and he dared to accept the kindness of others, but he couldn't repay it, and he always felt that he was not too comfortable.
"Don't worry, Xiaozhu seems to have a good relationship with that family, and there is no problem." Mrs. Lin now believes in Lin Zhu very much.
"Brother, since Sister Xiaozhu has been arranged, you can listen to her." Dong Yuzhen also persuaded on the side, such a good opportunity, she didn't want Dong Wenbo to give up so much. She knew in her heart that instead of following behind Dong Wenyuan's brothers and sisters and being humiliated and looked down upon by them, it was better to owe the Du family this favor.
Dong Wenbo thought about it, and knew that it was not easy for Lin Zhu to beat people to help, so he nodded and agreed. "But, mother, since people are willing to help us, then find a chance, and I will thank him well."
"Well, it should be." The son has grown up and is much more experienced in human accidents, and Mrs. Lin looked at him with some pride.
"Don't worry, the money here is enough for your brothers and sisters, don't suffer yourself, you can spend it when you need to." Dong Wenbo is older, and he should have some contacts outside, but just that little money is far from enough, he does not have Dong Jisheng's subsidy, so he is naturally not as rich as Dong Wenyuan.
In order not to make Dong Wenbo psychologically burdened, Mrs. Lin also deliberately told Lin Zhu about helping her buy land.
So Dong Wenbo's brother and sister realized that although their mother was not obvious on the surface, she was really wealthy.
Thinking that in the future, the two of them would have confidence in the face of the provocation of Liu's children, Dong Yuzhen smiled.
It's not that she wants to live a rich life too much, but she doesn't want to bother her mother because of this kind of thing.
"However, Wenbo, how does this Du family compare to the Qi family?" Mrs. Lin suddenly thought that if the status of the Du family was not as good as that of the Qi family, Dong Jisheng would definitely oppose it.
"The Du family is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and his grade is one level higher than that of the Qi family." The academy also has a social circle, and these things will naturally be passed around. So Dong Wenbo also heard something about the officials in the capital.
"That's good." Now there is nothing to be afraid of. Mrs. Lin's mood suddenly became much more relaxed.
"The Du family?" Dong Jisheng was a little stunned, he couldn't understand why Lin Zhu actually knew so many high-ranking families, even if there was an imperial doctor Zhang family before, I heard Dong Yuyao say a few days ago that he seemed to know people from the Wang family, and today there was another Du family, which made Dong Jisheng regret it a little.
He wanted to tell Mrs. Lin in front of him very much now, asking her to ask Lin Zhu to help him, so that he could also get to know these people, but he couldn't open his mouth. I felt very uncomfortable, but under Mrs. Lin's somewhat mocking eyes, I couldn't show it. had to say a few perfunctory words and sent her out. (To be continued......)
