Chapter 82: Parting

"That's really congratulations to Master Zhang." Lin Zhu entered the sight of the fourth master for the first time, but he didn't leave any traces. Lu Mingtao saw that the fourth master was not interested in Lord Zhang's godgranddaughter and asked, so he didn't introduce it anymore. After that, Lu Mingtao reported the situation of Muyue Trading House to the fourth master, and asked him to give instructions. During the conversation, Lu Mingtao looked at the man in front of him who had just turned eighteen. Neglected by the family since birth, although he is also a son-in-law, but whether it is a brother-in-law in the family, or a brother out of the family are more favored than him, before the age of ten, because no one paid attention, he was bullied by Diao Nu, and deducted his share, causing him to have a spleen and stomach disorder, although the situation was better after the age of ten, and he often asked the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, that is, the old doctor Zhang who knew at that time. But he still left a sequelae, he can eat some meat in winter, a vegetarian diet in spring and autumn, and very little vegetarian food in summer, but he can eat some fruits, especially watermelon, which he likes to eat very much, because that is the only thing he eats and doesn't want to vomit.

Therefore, Lu Mingtao saw that Lin Zhu's watermelons were planted so well in Linjiazhuang and tasted extraordinary, so he would spend a lot of money to buy them back, just so that the fourth master could eat and eat more smoothly.

Lu Mingtao and the fourth master met eight years ago, when Lu Mingtao was just a nerd student who only read sage books, on the way to the exam was stolen by the so-called fellow townsmen all the entanglement, when he was about to freeze to death and starved to death, he was rescued by the passing fourth master, and gave him enough entanglement to let him go home, after returning home, Lu Mingtao's temperament changed greatly, changed the problem of not listening to things outside the window, and began to contact with the money that he regarded as dung and the human accident that he thought was vulgar, so as to achieve today's eight-sided exquisite business talents praised by the world. reunited with the fourth master by chance, and was recruited by him to do things for him. In fact, Muyue Commercial Bank has 20% of his shares. It's just that he thinks he can act cheaply in this way, so he keeps it a secret.

The fourth master is the second son of King Qingfu. Ranked fourth. Although he was only remembered to be enlightened when he was ten years old, his knowledge was higher than that of many of his brothers. In order to hide his clumsiness, he didn't reveal it, he kept pretending to be playful, and when he could go out, he deliberately let people treat him as a gentleman. The encounter in the palace made him feel the warmth and coldness of the world prematurely, and he matured prematurely, and the people in the palace did not know that the fourth master under the appearance of the Dao was actually the behind-the-scenes boss of the Muyue Commercial Bank, one of the five major commercial houses in the capital.

"Okay, it's up to you to decide the rest, I trust you." The conversation between the two finally ended, and the watermelon chicken that Lu Mingtao ordered was also ready, so he asked someone to serve it and invite the fourth master to eat it.

"It tasted good. The sweetness of the watermelon and the tenderness of the chicken are just right, and it's not greasy at all. It's been a long time since I've eaten so much. Thank you, Mr. Lu. Lu Mingtao is a teacher and friend in the heart of the fourth master, although he invited him to serve by his side for saving his life, he never treated him as a subordinate, which is why Lu Mingtao is not bound by etiquette in front of him.

For the first time, the fourth master who ate meat in the summer and drank the soup frightened the people who served around him, he had never eaten so much, no matter how delicious things were, the fourth master always tasted them. This time, he actually ate two bowls, Lu Mingtao was also frightened, and hurriedly asked the doctor to come over to take a look, and only then did he know that there was no problem with the road. I was relieved.

"You're really making a fuss, it's okay, the watermelon chicken is doing well. Come. Reward the cook with twenty taels of silver. "The fourth master has always wanted to eat more and to nourish his body. Make yourself look less weak and can't help but be windy. So he was happy to see that he could eat so much today.

"Great. Then I told Lao Du to pull the watermelons here after they entered Beijing. Lu Mingtao, who originally just wanted him to try if he could eat it, was really overjoyed now. Lin Zhu's watermelon gave him a big surprise. At the same time, he suddenly thought, could it be that Dr. Zhang's lack of pathology is also the credit of this watermelon, thinking of this and denying it, watermelon is not a medicine, how can it have such a miraculous effect.

"Mr. Lu, after the watermelons are delivered, send some to the palace, and then give one to each master in the house, and don't sell the rest." The fourth master explained softly.

"Yes." After that, Lu Mingtao left Zhuangzi.

Since the first income from selling watermelons arrived, I have received several silver gifts from the shopkeeper Du of the Muyue Trading House. Now that Lin Zhu has become numb to collect money, every time it is a silver ticket, Lin Zhu keeps telling himself that it is paper, it is just paper. Chang's mother laughed at her: "Girl, I don't lose money now." Thinking of Lin Zhu's stupid appearance when she received the silver ticket for the first time, she always wanted to make her want to laugh.

Now that she has money, Lin Zhu doesn't want them to become moldy in the space, so she wants to buy a few more acres of land, so she asks the village chief Lin Changqing to help. "Uncle Lin, I have to trouble you to help me take a look." "It's not a difficult thing, it's just to go to the village and ask, but I don't think it's appropriate to make a big splash, you can buy some elsewhere, although it's far away, but you are asking someone to take care of it, and it's better than buying it in our village." You tell me? Although Lin Changqing said it secretly, Lin Zhu and Chang's mother both understood, although Lin Zhu's land for selling watermelons was large, but in the end, the people in the village didn't know how much money she sold, if she moved too much, the people in the village knew that she had made a fortune, and all the bees planted watermelons, and they couldn't sell them at the price of Lin Zhu, so it would not be as simple as being complained about, maybe it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in Linjia Village.

In that case, it is better to keep a low profile. "In this way, if the girl wants to buy land, then stay away from Linjia Village and go around Song County to buy it, it is best to have a small village of 100 acres connected together, so that it is convenient to manage." Lin Changqing was startled when he heard that Chang's mother was one hundred and ten acres and a small Zhuangzi, and said Xiaozhu, how much did you sell for this watermelon, one hundred and ten acres of land is almost a thousand taels of silver, such a big deal.

"Well, it's still Chang's mother's idea, so let's do it." Lin Zhu is very happy, she is about to become a landlord, although she is also a landlord now, but the large mountainous land of this landlord is useless, except for picking some wolfberries, and then there is some chopping firewood in winter. "Uncle Lin will give you two acres from that land when the time comes."

"How can I ask for your land? No, no. Lin Changqing hurriedly shook his head. Uncle Lin, listen to me, when Zhuangzi buys it back, I plan to plant ordinary watermelons in the same special watermelons as this year. I borrowed the money to buy the land, and you will pay me back when you sell the watermelon, and Uncle Wang's family is the same. This watermelon is five taels of silver each. ”

"You mean the watermelons in the field behind here are special watermelons? Five by two? Lin Changqing couldn't believe his ears.

When Lin Changqing walked home, he felt that he was floating lightly all over his body. The voice of "five taels of silver, five taels of silver" kept echoing in my head. It wasn't until he was stopped by Aunt Li that he came to his senses. "What's wrong with you?" Lin Changqing called Aunt Li into the house and told her what happened, "What did you say?" Aunt Li shouted.

"Shhhh Lin Changqing covered her mouth in fright, "What do you want people to hear?" "Are you telling the truth? Xiaozhu's watermelon sold for five taels? Aunt Li's eyes widened, her hands trembled a little excitedly, and she grabbed Lin Changqing's arm, "No wonder, no wonder Xiaozhu took Xiaoyu and them to the county seat last time to buy so many things, and fifty taels of silver were spent without blinking." ”

"Don't miss it, next year Xiaozhu will grow some ordinary watermelons in the village like everyone else. So that no one says anything. Lin Changqing instructed softly. Of course, you think I'm stupid. Aunt Li patted his hand and said, "But what about the Wang family?" On weekdays, his family is also very helpful to Xiaozhu. ”

"Our family has two acres of land, and so does his family."

Soon Wang Shudun, who also got the news, said to Old Man Wang as soon as possible, "Dad, what do you think should I do?" "Old man Wang is silent, the wealth is moving, and the price of five taels of watermelons is really exciting." You're tempted, too. Old Man Wang sighed, "Our family really needs this money, the old three days are very high, not to mention the hardships and hardships we have suffered, and even our studies have been delayed." Take it. She probably wants you to help manage it, and this is paid in advance. ”

So far, Lin Zhu's team has only seen a little rudiment.

Lin Zhu's idea is very direct, because Aunt Li was the first to express kindness to her, when she was still poor, she also tried her best to help her, and also let her have her first good friend Ruyu, the Wang family also really helped her, her field has always taken the initiative to help, except for the first time when she was planting and planting seedlings, the daily management of the rice field never asked her for a penny, and the maintenance of her during the autumn harvest last year, Lin Zhu all remembered it. Now she has the ability to help them, and of course she will spare no effort to help. It's just that Lin Zhu didn't expect that his momentary kindness would get their full help from Lin Hongyuan and Wang Mu after they became officials.

One day, Steward Zhang came over and invited Lin Zhu over, saying that Dr. Zhang had something to say. Lin Zhu followed Steward Zhang to Doctor Zhang's house, first saluted him, and then asked, "What is Grandpa's order to call me here?" What do you want to eat? Or do you want to order goji berry wine again? ”

"Come, sit down first." Doctor Zhang asked Lin Zhu to sit in the lower position, "Bamboo girl, do you know where your grandfather and my home are?" Seeing that she shook her head, she continued, "In the capital, I received a letter from home today, and I have to go back in a few days." Hearing that he was going to part, Lin Zhu was very reluctant, he had been protected by Dr. Zhang, Lin Zhu had long had a love for him and treated him as a relative. I was very sad to hear him say this. "To be honest, Grandpa God's can't bear you, it's just that the situation in my family is not suitable for you, otherwise I would like to take you home, it's too restrictive."
