Chapter 18
He helped the second aunt into the carriage, and the second aunt was still as beautiful as a fairy today, looking thoughtfully at the street outside with wise eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He Jinghui thought, the second aunt used to live in the provincial capital, and there shouldn't be too much nostalgia here, but the county government is just a stick of incense away from here, but now the mansion is vacant, which is also a good thing for He Jinghui, He Zaixu is a nostalgic person, and he will never sell the house he has lived in for so many years, and he has already started to plant all the idle land that the second aunt gave him with flowers and plants, so that he can often come to the old house to live and study the formula, take care of the flowers and plants, and don't worry about the original house is full of people and causing trouble.
He Jinghui knew that he was going to have a lot of things to do, and he was also a little troubled in his heart.
The second aunt is too kind of goblin who can see through her son's absent-mindedness at a glance, so she asked: "The land is also there, and your father has also been promoted to the county magistrate, what are you worried about!" ”
He Jinghui replied: "I still need to manually boil essential oils with me, and I need to find a place to customize special bottles, and I also need to sell ......."
The second aunt's eyes were shining, and she smiled and said, "My good son, my mother told you that everything in this world that can be solved with money is not called a ...... thing" As she spoke, she took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels of silver from the makeup box and handed it to He Jinghui.
He Jinghui saw that it was five hundred taels of silver, it was tears in his eyes, this is a huge amount of money, it is estimated that the second aunt has taken out her old book, and she didn't know what to say for a while, but she said to the second aunt with some choked words: "Mother, you still keep this money for yourself, in case there is a place to use the money in the future...... " He Jinghui was also afraid that if the prefecture would have a nerve and change himself to another place, the second aunt would be too empty......
The second aunt forced the money into He Jinghui's hand and said: "After you are your mother, you will also participate in your mother, and you will return the money to your mother after you make money!" ”
He Jinghui nodded, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must do it well.
He got the first start-up capital, if Lin Wanghu was not grounded at this time, maybe he could help him, and now in this strange dynasty, everything will depend on himself.
Came to the backyard of the county government, where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the pavilions and pavilions are very elegant, at a glance it is far away from the original mansion, although the original county order was copied here seems to be a little depressed, but the foundation is very good, a look at the previous decoration is to spend a lot of effort, even the rockery is the selection of good stone.
He Jinghui used to do drama work for the crew often had to help contact the venue for selection, looking at these precious trees, thinking about it with his toes, he could also think of how many people had been embezzled by the fallen Yin County Ling over the years, this spacious mansion made the family very excited, only He Zaixu kept frowning tightly, and his face was very dull. "This is too luxurious, these are all people's fat and people's ointment...... Spending so much money and food just for personal comfort......"
He Jinghui was only afraid that he would be unhappy, so he threw away all these strange stones and cut down all the valuable trees. So he hurriedly took two steps forward and supported the old man who was thin but still in good health and comforted: "Dad, I think that being a good official is not about what kind of mansion to live in, but from the heart you must have a heart to serve the people and be loyal to the court!" "He has not read the books of the sages in vain these days, and knows how to talk more appropriately with such pedantic pedants.
He Zaixu was very relieved to hear him say this: "My son has this opinion, and my father is very pleased." ”
He Jinghui continued: "Dad will definitely be a good county magistrate who is the master of the people, since we have moved into this internal office, then we will definitely not be like that Yin county magistrate to build a large number of buildings, right?" ”
He Zaixu nodded thoughtfully. "It's natural, but it's ...... here"
Seeing that the old man gritted his teeth and looked at those people's fat and people's ointment, He Jinghui couldn't help but quickly whisper to persuade. "Dad, you are a person who understands righteousness, and you will definitely not be a corrupt official like Yin County's order to forcibly expropriate the people and scrape the people's wealth...... Now, since this yain is already like this, and Shangguan has not ordered it to be renovated and demolished, if it is Daddy, you want to show yourself that you are poor and upright, and what is it, my son thinks it is inappropriate. ”
"Huh?" He Zaixu couldn't help glaring at He Jinghui with some displeasure, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that although this kid's words were not very popular, there was some truth in them. "Then in your opinion, is the old man just turning a blind eye?"
"It's not that you turn a blind eye, but that you don't have a life, so why do you have to waste money and money? Now is the time of spring ploughing, the people are still busy, so ah, my son thinks, Daddy, you should be considerate of the people, as long as we live in peace, no more bricks and tiles, and do not add trouble to the people of this county, it is also another way to benefit the people! "It's best if it doesn't increase or decrease, at least He Jinghui doesn't think it's good to dismantle this ya, and the family will make a mess.
He Zaixu finally looked back at He Jinghui seriously for a long time, and then a rare smile appeared on his rare and rigid face, and he bowed slightly. "Wu'er finally has some knowledge, since that's the case, let's do it......"
Since He Zaixu nodded, there is no more trouble, the next thing is to arrange the room, the eldest lady naturally wants to live well, but the second best is asked to go by the delicate fifth aunt, where you can see the bamboo forest and fountain in the courtyard from the window.
The second aunt naturally couldn't bear this loss, so she smiled and said: "My sister is so young and energetic, I'm just afraid of being bored when I look at bamboo all day long." ”
The fifth aunt said with a smile on the child in her belly: "My sister is pregnant now, and I don't like to make trouble......"
A little coquettishly said: "Is my sister going to rob me, a pregnant woman and an unborn child?" ”
This time, He Zaixu helped the fifth aunt too much, and said to the second aunt: "She is young and pregnant, so you can choose with her first......"
The second aunt is a woman with a delicate heart, naturally knowing that the current situation is not good for her, but she still talked and laughed and said: "I'm just afraid that my sister will be bored living here, but you misunderstood me with a good heart......"
He Zaixu praised: "You are the most considerate ......"
Only He Jinghui saw his mother's seemingly gentle smile.
A wry smile of loneliness.
He Jinghui has been sending the second aunt back to the room, the maids are busy cleaning up, the second aunt is sitting at the window, the sunlight outside the carved long window hits her face, He Jinghui flattered her and said: "Mother, you have really worked hard today......
This room is obviously much smaller than the one that the fifth aunt snatched away, and it is not transparent enough, I am afraid that it will be hot in summer and cold in winter.
The scenery outside was also covered by the pillars, and the second aunt looked up at He Jinghui, looked at this son, who was already an adult, and gently patted the back of He Jinghui's hand, and smiled meaningfully. "Lust decay and love relaxation, my mother will rely on you in the future!"
He Jinghui continued to beat the second aunt and said: "Mother, you are not the only wife of the master, but you are my only mother!" ”
Seeing the gloom and depression between the second aunt's eyebrows, He Jinghui couldn't help but feel a little emotional and indignant. No matter how knowledgeable and interesting the mother is, no matter how mellow she is, there will be times when she is disappointed by her father.
The second aunt was silent for a while, and He Jinghui continued to comfort: "Mother, in fact, the disappointment stems from your hope, if you look at yourself and live well, you will be more free and easy, and your life will be less and more constrained......"
The second aunt looked at He Jinghui in front of her, he seemed to have grown up a lot in a short period of time, and she was very happy that he suddenly became so motivated.
The second aunt suddenly smiled and said: "Don't say it, my mother has to sleep well, and I have to go to the seventh aunt to play cards tomorrow, and I have to go and win more silver and come back......"
It seems that the brief disappointment just now has nothing to do with her.
He Jinghui looked at such a second aunt and was a lot more relieved, "Mother, you rest more, you will definitely win a lot of silver tomorrow ......"
Out of the second aunt's room, the maid suddenly chased out: "Young master, the second lady asked you to come back......"
He Jinghui hurriedly followed the maid back to the second aunt's room, and the second aunt beckoned to He Jinghui with a smile: "I made that little hoof's arrogance angry just now, and I almost forgot about business." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a pen from the table and wrote down an address, thought about it, or handed it to He Jinghui, looked at the son in front of him, and the second aunt said too gently: "This is the address of the best pottery shop in the city, if you go, go directly to the boss Wu, you are my son, he will help with such a small matter." ”
He Jinghui almost wanted to worship the almighty second aunt, she really solved too much urgent need for him, and he has been suffering from having no place to customize the bottle, just casually mentioned it to the second aunt, but she didn't expect her to have a way to solve it for herself.
He Jinghui was so grateful that she couldn't describe it in words, and the second aunt was too preemptively to speak: "Don't be polite to your mother, you just have to be willing to do it well, don't let your mother down!" ”
It seems that the second aunt still has a lot of confidence in herself as a son. She is afraid that her father has not had much hope, but she still has a lot of confidence in her son, and how can she let her gain again?
