Du Shaofu thought for a while and said, "Brother Wen Zhao, I have something to ask Brother Wen Zhao to help." Meng Wenzhao nodded and asked, "When?" "I want to compile Lin Mo's poem into this year's "Poetry Collection". I don't know if it's possible? ”

"Poetry Collection" is compiled every year by Yunzhou Mansion School, its content is mainly a selection of poems by Yunzhou readers, there are about twenty or thirty poems selected a year, so it is very rare to be selected, and the compilation of the work is to learn from Meng Wenzhao to complete, so Du Shaofu asked Meng Wenzhao.

Meng Wenzhao said with a smile: "If this poem is selected into the "Poetry Collection", it is okay, but this is inevitably a bit of a buried masterpiece, it is better to compile it into the share presented to His Majesty this year, you see how it is"

Du Shaofu was stunned: "It's best if it's so natural, but whether this is not in accordance with the rules, it is rare for others to enter one song, whether Lin Mo's two songs are too eye-catching, will they attract criticism"

Meng Wenzhao smiled when he heard this: "The collection of poems presented to Your Majesty at this time is for Your Majesty to select excellent works. I will deal with this matter, and Brother Shaofu does not need to worry. ”

Du Shaofu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Meng Wenzhao's parents were coming to deal with it, after all, Meng Wenzhao was that person's protégé, and he could avoid a lot of trouble by handling these things, so the matter was settled. And after the banquet was over, the rest of the people wanted to invite Lin Mo to continue drinking and talking elsewhere, and Lin Mo shirked them one by one.

Lin Mo, He Ren, and Lu Guan went out together, and at this time, the streets were full of lanterns on both sides, although it was already Shen Shi, it was still crowded, and it was very lively. Seeing that Lin Mo was preoccupied, He Ren asked, "Brother Lin, what have you been thinking about just now?" Look at this jade pendant all the time, looking at it in a trance. ”

Lin Mo smiled: "I was thinking that this jade pendant should be very valuable" He Ren nodded and said: "This is natural, this jade has a delicate texture, crystal clear, and you can know that it is a good jade material at a glance, not to mention that it is rewarded by Lord Fu Yin, if you go to the pawnshop, you will get one hundred and eighty taels." He Ren said with a smile.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said, "Why don't I give you this jade, how about you give it seventy or eighty taels?" He Ren was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Lin Mo in disbelief and said: "Lin Mo, don't talk nonsense, although I have no heart or lungs, I am not stupid, I also know that this thing cannot be bought and sold indiscriminately, otherwise I will accidentally invite myself to right and wrong." ”

Lin Mo looked disappointed when he heard this, and Lu Guan asked curiously, "Lin Mo, you don't really plan to sell the jade pendant, do you?" Lin Mo smiled bitterly: "Do you think I am telling a lie?" ”

Lin Mo didn't tell a lie, he was really short of money now, although he had six or seven hundred taels left, but he opened a few new shops, and it cost nearly three hundred taels for rent and repairs, Zhao En wanted to come to Qiannan, and he bought a spacious mansion next to Zhao En's house and spent three hundred taels at once, plus the banquet in Chennan today, these miscellaneous things added up to six hundred taels. The current Lin Mo is really not as glamorous as it seems on the surface, and there is not much silver in his pocket.

Seeing Lin Mo's expression, the two knew that what Lin Mo said was true, it seemed that Lin Mo was really short of money, so they paid attention to the jade pendant given by Du Shaofu. Lu Guan thought for a while and said, "I still have five or six hundred taels of private money at home, if you need it urgently, take it to the emergency first." ”

Lin Mo shook his head when he heard this, and said, "This can't be done, how can I use your silver at this time, it's useless." Lu Guan smiled: "It's okay, it's useless for me to keep this silver."

Place. It's better to use it to help Lin Mo. ”

He Ren looked at Lin Mo and Lu Guan: "Why do you two have to argue over a few hundred taels of silver, with me and your share of the money?" As he spoke, he led the two to a single-family three-story building with the words "Taixing Qianzhuang" written on it.

This money village is generally only available in the state capital and the big county seat, and there is one in Chennan, but Lin Mo didn't know it at first. Qian Zhuang is almost equivalent to the bank of later generations, specializing in helping people keep cash, according to how much custody charges a certain percentage of commission as a custodian fee, after depositing cash silver will be specially recorded how much is deposited, and then give a bill, and then withdraw cash with the bill when it is used, this money bank generally only accepts rich businessmen, small individuals unless they deposit a few hundred thousand taels, otherwise they will not accept their deposits, the side shows that those who can deposit silver in the money are rich people.

After the three of them entered, the cabinet inside was built like a prison cell, surrounded by iron-clad railings, and it was really not easy for ordinary people to enter. There were seven or eight guys in the store, who looked big and three thick, and when they saw someone coming in, they immediately surrounded him, and Lin Mo felt like he was robbing a bank.

A person who looked like a shopkeeper immediately smiled when he saw He Ren, the leader of the three, and said: "What kind of wind did He Gongzi blow you over, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and it's so late, the villain is going to close, and if you come one step later, it will really be closed." He Ren looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Isn't this a shortage of silver, just come and get some silver, by the way, this person, my brother, Lin Mo, and this Lu Guan." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I've seen the two sons, do you want to drink some tea, I have a new tea that has just arrived." As he spoke, he beckoned the man to hurry up and pour the tea. He Ren said impatiently: "You can drink tea, but you can get me thank you silver first." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "How much does the son want to take?" I also persuaded Gongzi, you have taken five or six hundred taels in the past few days, and I am not afraid that He Yuanwai will hear that you spend all day drinking. ”

Lin Mo and the others were immediately stunned when they heard this, this fat man's family is so rich, he spent five or six hundred taels in a few days, although Steward Lu is not bad, but he is extremely strict with his children, and Lu Guan has saved the private silver of five or six hundred taels by himself for two or three years, which is simply incomparable with He Renyi.

Next, He Ren's words directly petrified the two: "My father said that if it is less than 1,000 taels, don't mention it to him, it will waste his time." I only spent five or six hundred taels, all small money. ”

Lin Mo and the others almost fell down when they heard this, this is the first time that these two have met such a local tyrant, this is the big family among the big families, and it is simply not appropriate to use the money. The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Also, what kind of person outside of He, how can he care about these little money." By the way, how much silver does He Gongzi want to take? ”

He Ren didn't think about it and said, "Then let's come with a thousand taels first, I have to tell my father if I have more, it's too troublesome." Then he turned to Lin Mo and said, "Brother, I can only take a thousand taels at most, Lin Mo, if you still have a shortage, I have to tell my father that it will take two or three days to go back and forth, you have to wait." ”

When Lin Mo heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "He Ren, don't faint, that's a thousand taels, how can I ask for it." Let's hurry up, I'll invite you to have a drink. As he spoke, he was about to pull He Ren away, He Ren smiled and said: "Haha, it's only a thousand taels, it's worth making a friend, so I'll invite you to drink flower wine." Saying a look, the shopkeeper immediately understood, and a few strong men went to the back of the house to open the doors of the warehouse, counted one thousand taels from several large boxes of silver, loaded them and carried them to He Ren's side.

When Lin Mo saw this, his face immediately changed drastically: "He Fatty, if you do this again, Lao Tzu will turn his face." ”

He Ren saw that Lin Mo was really angry, so he hurriedly apologized: "Ah, brother, you don't have to worry about the money for me, this money is nothing to my family." ”

Lin Mo said: "How much money is also your father's hard earning, if you continue like this, sooner or later your family business will be ruined, the ancients said: thrift is prosperous, obscenity is death." Although money is something external to the body, it is also necessary to understand that if it is taken in moderation and used sparingly, it will always be sufficient, and if it is taken excessively, if it is not used sparingly, it will often be insufficient. Otherwise, even if you have a mountain of gold at home, it will not be enough. Seeing Lin Mo teaching He Ren a lesson in an old-fashioned manner, the shopkeeper on the side was very surprised, and even more surprised that He Ren listened carefully.

Lin Mo has relied on himself to struggle alone in his previous life, and in this life he is still struggling step by step, from poverty to now entering a well-off life, Lin Mo understands very well that money is not easy to come by, so he doesn't like He Ren's lavish and uncherished behavior, and more importantly, Lin Mo thinks that this is a friend with the fat man, out of consideration for his friends, and he doesn't want He Ren to be like this, in case he is deceived by people with ulterior motives in the future, then there is no place to cry if he wants to.

After Lin Mo finished teaching, He Ren nodded and said, "Brother is reasonable, but brother is in trouble, how can I stand idly by." At this time, Lu Guan on the side: "In my opinion, how about Lin Mo mortgage the things on his body and exchange them for some silver?" ”

He Ren nodded hurriedly, and Lin Mo was a little helpless that he had nothing of value on him except for the jade pendant, but He Ren must not want that jade pendant. He Ren seemed to know Lin Mo's thoughts, so He Ren said: "Why don't my brother write me a poem, a hundred taels, how about it?" Lin Mo thought about it and finally agreed, otherwise it would really hurt He Ren's heart.

The shopkeeper immediately took out pen and ink, Lin Mo thought about it, and finally wrote: "Gift to He Ren: The world needs gold to make friends, and gold is not too much and not deep." Even if you promise to do so temporarily, you will always be on the road. After writing, He Ren hurriedly picked it up, regarded it as a treasure, and watched it repeatedly, this poem is actually a satire on those who only want to benefit and ignore the friendship of "friendship".

It was also the first time for everyone to see Lin Mo writing, and they were shocked by the beauty of this font they had never seen before. Lu Zhi and the shopkeeper also came over to judge carefully, and He Ren quickly put it away for fear of being robbed. Then he took two hundred taels of silver and handed it to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo said: "A hundred taels is a hundred taels." He Ren hurriedly said: "It's what the master is willing to reward you." Lin Mo had no choice but to accept it, and He Ren smiled happily.

He Ren said: "Today I am happy, I invite you to drink flower wine, the girls in the drunken Yinglou in the city are all cherry and small-mouthed willow waists, all of them are as beautiful as fairies, let's go, let's have a good time together." Lin Mo shook his head and said, "You guys go, I won't go, I drank a little too much wine at this banquet today, I have to go back and have a good rest." ”

The two looked at Lin Mo with some surprise, and He Ren said directly: "What are you pretending to be, tonight is the least drunk by you, and even Fu Yin drinks more than you." Then he looked at Lin Mo and smiled, "You won't still be a chick, won't you even go to the Qinglou by now?" ”
