Chapter Seventy-Nine

The county lord of Yicheng, who vowed to "rescue Lin Biluo from the bitter sea", rewarded his daughter Yu Shilan with a string of red agate, and sent the servant woman to the semi-idle hall to meet Lin Biluo and discuss something.

At the beginning of this matter, the county lord of Yicheng wanted to hide it from the He family, and he would tell her after the negotiation was completed. Considering that it is not convenient to talk about this matter in the half-idle hall, what if the child becomes stubborn and rejects her? Zuihou chose the place to discuss the matter at an outside restaurant.

Lord Yisei's worries are not unreasonable. After coming into contact with the child several times, he felt more and more that her temperament was somewhat similar to Xiao Yi, which made the county lord of Yicheng a little more cautious before acting.

As a result, when she really mentioned to Lin Biluo that she should live in the county lord's mansion as an adopted daughter, she refused directly.

"I appreciate the kindness of the county lord, and I am very grateful to the county lord, but I can't let me enter the county lord's mansion!"

How similar is this situation to the scene when she Zuihou went to persuade Xiao Yi once?! It's really a virtue of mother and daughter, both of them are stubborn and stubborn!

Xiao Yi can still scold her mouth, return with hatred, and she has been haunted for many years and can't be relieved.

But in the face of Lin Biluo, she didn't dare to open her mouth to scold again. Maybe this is a lesson learned from Xiao Yi, they have such a temperament, the harder you are, the more stubborn she will be, only if you are soft, soft to the point that she can't refuse, can you achieve your goal.

She had already seen that this child had a big idea, otherwise how could she take on the responsibility of supporting her family?

“weishenme？ Afraid that when you enter the county lord's mansion, your aunt will treat you harshly? I only have one sister in total, your mother, how can I treat you harshly? If you are afraid that someone will embarrass you, what are you afraid of with me? ”

At this moment, they are in the private seat of Wu Ji Restaurant, and there are henchmen of the county lord of Yicheng guarding them outside the door, but they are not afraid of others hearing about it.

"Your aunt was disobedient back then, she refused to go on a bright and smooth road, she had to go all the way to the dark, and followed Rong Shao to exile to the border, this has been gone for 12 years, every time I think of her, I have to cry, if you don't follow me into the house, this is to make my aunt can't sleep every night?" Crying is a lie, just to coax Lin Biluo to soften her heart. Every time the county lord of Yicheng thinks of Xiao Yilai, he wants to scold, and he can't wait for someone to be in front of him, so he beats her up!

"Auntie, I'm used to living in the Lin family, and I really don't want to live in a different place. If my aunt takes care of me, she will come to the semi-idle hall to sit and taste the fruit tea and snacks I sell, which can be regarded as fulfilling my filial piety. ”

The county lord of Yicheng begged so softly, and Lin Biluo was very embarrassed. I was grateful for her love, but I didn't want to follow her into the county lord's mansion to live, so I had to insist on not accepting it.

"You kid, think about it again. The county lord's mansion is not short of food and drink, and if you follow your aunt into the mansion, you don't need to work hard for the silver town. If you are afraid that the Lin family will have no livelihood, I can pay a large sum of money to settle them. Besides, Lin He has raised you for so many years, and she deserves this money. Besides, even if you enter the mansion in the name of your adopted daughter, but with me, who dares to treat you badly? And your cousin accompanies you, and she is not lonely, you just need to eat, drink, and have fun every day, and live a comfortable life, why not? ”

According to the eyes of the county lord of Yicheng, Lin Biluo was raised by the He family very unsuccessfully. was originally a noble girl, but now she has become a market merchant, and she has only learned to make money.

Especially when the two met for the first time, she beat up that jiashi, and the county lord of Yicheng couldn't see it for a long time.

A noble girl, even if she wants to beat anyone, she has her own servants to do it, where is her turn to be a girl to do it herself? Where did you learn all this?

According to her Jihua, as long as Lin Bi falls into the county lord's mansion, she will be greeted by a series of transformations, from clothing and accessories, to manners and etiquette, in order to let her get rid of the imprint left on her body by Xiaomen's life as soon as possible.

After she adapts to the life of the county lord's mansion, she will be sent to study in Donglin Academy, and then make a few girlfriends, including future husband candidates, will also choose among these young men in Donglin Academy, which is in line with her background and upbringing.

"Auntie, my aunt and daddy are exiles, if anyone knows that I am still alive and live in the county lord's mansion, and even my aunt is affected, it is not mine. My aunt made this decision back then, thinking that she wanted me to live peacefully in the market and be an ordinary person. My aunt's care for me is my blessing, and I remember my aunt's goodness, but it is not appropriate to live in the county lord's mansion. I hope my aunt can understand! ”

What is the temperament of today, Lin Biluo doesn't know at all.

But if she can seize the throne with her brother, force her to the border, and ascend to the throne alone, this kind of person is not only black-hearted, but also suspicious, even if she has no impact on the political situation of the dynasty, it is not necessarily that this person can tolerate her.

Lin Biluo's words instantly made the county lord of Yicheng secretly frightened by her sharpness and straight to the point. Are all the children who live in difficult situations so smart? Compared with her own daughter Yu Shilan, this child's insight is amazing!

"With your aunt and uncle, where should your children's family worry about these things? You just have to live a good life in the county lord's mansion! "It's a big deal that she personally went to ask for mercy and forgave her.

Lin Biluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was thinking about how to refuse the kindness of the county lord of Yicheng, and finally had an excuse to refuse: "I understand my aunt's kindness, and now I have no worries about food and clothing, and I have lived up to my aunt's hard work." If you could entrust me to my aunt, I don't think my mother would have sent me to the market back then. It's really forced by the situation, my aunt doesn't have to think about it, just let me live a good life in the Lin family, just think that my aunt loves me! ”

The county lord of Yicheng said that Lin Biluo was not moved, and after returning to the house, he sulked in the room, and when Yu Shilan came back from outside, Mama Xu pulled her to make the county lord of Yicheng happy.

The county lord didn't talk to the third lady, and when he came back, he locked himself in the room. That kid is really, refusing to enter the house alive or dead. The eldest sister is going to accompany the county lord, but don't let the county lord get sick. ”

Yu Shilan pouted, that little girl wouldn't be scared by her, right? Don't even dare to enter the county lord's mansion?! It seems that she should pick a day to take a look at this little cousin, as long as she doesn't rob Chu Junyue by herself, she will have her own good life when she enters the county lord's mansion.

Without mentioning the whispers of the county lord Yicheng and Yu Shilan's mother and daughter, Shan Ti Lin Biluo returned home, so he hid the matter and accompanied the He family to dinner.

Lin Nan had already taken Mr. Bao's letter of recommendation to study at Yingtianfu Academy a few days earlier, and there was one less person for the He family to worry about in the backyard, and now her whole mind was on Lin Biluo, she had to extend the time she spent with He every day, and she didn't make up in the store for dinner, so she went to the backyard to accompany He. also rubbed his face to He's side, "Ah Niang, since the second sister got married, Ah Di went to study in the academy, could it be that there are fewer people at home?" Why do I think our guy is much better after eating? ”

He poked a finger on her forehead: "Gluttonous cat! Didn't I think about letting you eat all your sisters and brothers? "There are fewer people to eat, but the family's living expenses are not frugal. Especially after the county lord of Yicheng came twice, He saw Yu Shilan who was following her, and when he thought that his third sister should be able to live such a life, he felt that his life was rough and wronged her, so he tried to improve his life.

Lin Biluo hugged and rubbed next to her shoulder, complaining very much: "A-Niang is seeing that the family is making money, but she doesn't feel sorry for the hard-won silver, and she actually spends it lavishly." I'm going to write to Brother Nan and tell him that if Ah Niang continues to spend like this, his wife will be spent by Ah Niang, and he won't be able to marry his daughter-in-law when the time comes, what will he do? ”

He Shi was amused by her words, "What you are afraid of is not that A-Niang spent Nan Ge'er's wife, but your dowry, right?!" ”

The mother and daughter were next to each other, laughing and laughing for a while, and then decided to go to the Meng family's orchard to harvest apricots in a few days, and then they did their own things.

In the Mengjia orchard at the beginning of July, the fruit trees on the mountain were all bearing fruit, some were still green fruits, and some were ripe. Like peaches and apricots, they can already be picked. The mother and daughter of the Lin family and the Meng family orchard have been in a cooperative relationship for several years, and Meng Bo is not here today, but the eldest man of the Meng family is in the garden, taking the mother and daughter of the Lin family around the forest, pointing to the dense apricot and peach trees to show them.

Lin Biluo stood on tiptoe from time to time, picked a golden apricot, wiped it with a handkerchief and fed it into his mouth, tasted the sweetness and sourness of the apricot, and couldn't stop nodding.

Thinking about it, the sales of licorice apricots in Banxian Hall this year may be good.

Far to the northwest, in a desolate village called Sihe, there are only three or five families. A four- or five-year-old child in the courtyard who was eating sweet apricots in a half-pottery bowl heard the knock and shouted into the house: "A-Niang, someone is coming." ”

In the low adobe house, a woman in a thorn hairpin cloth skirt came out, and she could still see the beautiful shadow of the past, and asked as she walked, "Who is it?" ”

The child nibbled on a ripe apricot that was not very transparent, and his sour eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled in one place, and he shook his head again and again.

The woman opened the door, and there was a carriage with a dart flag on it, and the driver of the carriage stepped forward and asked, "May I ask if it is the Rong family?" ”

The woman who came to open the door was Xiao Yi, the county lord of Ngee An, and she looked at the executioner suspiciously: "I don't know what to do with my husband?" "I haven't heard that Rong Shao has made friends with people in the dart game outside.

The executioner turned his head to knock on the wall of the carriage and said in a low voice: "Chief dart, this is the right place." ”

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man came out of it, got out of the carriage with a huge burden, and handed the burden to Xiao Yi, "Someone asked us to bring something to your family from the dart bureau, there are two hundred taels of silver in the baggage, and two sets of winter clothes for men and women, two sets of spring and autumn clothes, and a letter. ”

The chief dart stood up and waited for her to check things and write a reply, Xiao Yi didn't have time to read the letter, thinking that it was about something that Xiao Jin asked people to bring, so he finished counting the things on the stone table in the courtyard, and sent Xiao'er into the house to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a receipt on the spot, indicating what was received, so that he had time to ask: "Dare to ask sir, who brought something to my family?" ”

"It's a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, dressed very neatly, and I don't know whose maid it is." This dart happened to be received by the head of the horse's dart, and the little girl was dressed ordinarily, and she was not a wealthy family when she wanted to come to the master's house. But she was very organized, and only said that the handwriting of the family who carried the things was known to someone in her family, and when they sent the things and took the receipts back, she paid fifty taels of silver.

Fifty taels is not a small amount, she opened her mouth to be fifty taels, Mr. Ma looked at her appearance and bearing, and guessed that Xu was the maid of the big family, who was ordered by the master to deliver things, and deliberately dressed up like this, thinking that it was not noticeable.

And the place where things are sent needs to be avoided in the end, which is why so much dart silver is promised.

Mr. Ma left with the executioner, and Xiao Yi sent people out of the door, and he had the same idea as Mr. Ma's dart in his heart. Giving things to outcasts on the border was originally a matter of not being able to see the light. It is an unspoken rule in the industry that the dart game secretly accepts some private work, and naturally the name of the person who sent it cannot be exposed.

She turned around and covered the door, and carried the burden on the stone table into the room, Xiao'er followed behind her, and asked again and again: "Auntie, what is delicious?" He rarely saw a living, just saw Mr. Ma's dart head and the executioner, some of them recognized life, so they didn't come forward, just watched from afar. When the person left, he asked Xiao Yi again and again.

"Maybe it's something that your aunt entrusted someone to bring? I'll open the letter and take a look. "Maybe it's more likely that Mrs. Zhou brought it to her. Where she and Rong Shao were assigned, the only one who could knock on her door directly was Aunt Zhou.

Xiao Yi put the burden on the bed, sat down, picked up the letter in the bag that did not write the recipient and did not have the payment, gently tore open the seal, and saw that he looked up, as if he couldn't believe it, and hurriedly went to see the payment, and suddenly tears rained down, and he couldn't help himself.

The author has something to say: after working hard for a long time, but still not getting fat, then hope for tomorrow...... Good night everyone.
