Lin Mo took his grandfather to walk on the street, Lin Mo told his grandfather about what happened during this time, but Lin Mo only reported good news and not bad news, and he didn't mention anything about the injuries caused by the extermination of the bandits.

At this time, Lin Mo suddenly saw Zhang Xian, the housekeeper of the Ma Mansion, Zhang Xian took his subordinates to buy New Year's goods for the New Year, and when he saw Lin Mo with an old man, he immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "When is this Gongzi Lin?" Who is this old man? ”

Lin Mo smiled: "It's okay, I'll take my grandfather around." When Zhang Xian heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Lin Gongzi's grandfather, who was disrespectful and disrespectful." Hey, have we met? Grandpa said a little embarrassedly: "Yes, the housekeeper Wang died in the past, and I came to mourn him." Zhang Xian immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that our Ma family and my husband are really fated." ”

Lin Mo asked, "By the way, is Master Wu in the mansion?" Zhang Xian nodded and said, "Yes, but now that the school is on holiday, he plans to leave today, and the master can't keep it." ”

When Lin Mo heard this, he said: "That's right, I'll go and invite him to join him for the New Year's Festival." Then he said goodbye to Zhang Xian, took his grandfather to Mafu, and when he arrived at the door of Mafu, his grandfather stopped and didn't want to go in: "Xiaomo, go in, grandpa is waiting for you here." ”

Lin Mo knew at a glance that his grandfather was afraid of embarrassing himself, so he took his grandfather's hand and said, "Grandpa, it's okay, just follow me in, it doesn't matter." Saying that, he knocked on the door, and the porter Zheng Wu opened the door and saw that it was Lin Mo, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "Son, why are you here?" Lin Mo smiled: "I'm my grandfather to see Master Wu, by the way, is my uncle at home?" Zheng Wu hurriedly said: "The master is at home to check the accounts of shops in various places this year. ”

When Lin Mo heard this, he said, "Oh, then I won't bother my uncle, you don't have to report it, I'll go find Master Wu." Then he took his grandfather to Wu Wenyan's house.

I have to say that Ma Zhiyuan attaches great importance to Wu Wenyan, the house where Wu Wenyan lives was Ma Zhiyuan's own study, and in order to make Wu Wenyan more comfortable, it was vacated, and Wu Wenyan's room was the largest in the entire Ma Mansion. Lin Mo knocked on the door, Wu Wenyan opened the door and saw that it was Lin Mo and an old man, Wu Wenyan asked suspiciously, "Lin Mo, are you back?" Who is this old man? Lin Mo smiled: "This is my grandfather"

When Wu Wenyan heard this, he hurriedly invited his grandfather into the house and let his grandfather sit on the upper seat, his grandfather was a little at a loss, Lin Mo smiled and asked his grandfather to sit down with peace of mind, and then said, "Master, isn't this almost the New Year's Day?" I plan to be in the New Year's Festival, so I took my grandfather over, and this time I came to invite my master to go to my New Year's Festival, and there were more people. Wu Wenyan hesitated for a while and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Lin Mo shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, I invited several people to be more lively this year." ”

Wu Wenyan finally nodded, and then chatted with his grandfather and Lin Mo for a few words, and Lin Mo left with his grandfather. As soon as the grandfather and grandson walked out of the door and came to the corridor, they saw Zheng Wu waiting for them. As soon as he saw Lin Mo coming out, Zheng Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe, the master asked me to invite you and my uncle to the hall, and he was waiting for you there." ”

Mo Yi heard a wry smile and said that he didn't plan to alarm Ma Zhiyuan, but now he can't go, so he took his grandfather to the side hall. At this time, Ma Zhiyuan was sitting in the hall, and when he saw Lin Mo and his grandson, he quickly got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Old man is here, Lin Mo, you don't say it early, I'll prepare some wine and food to entertain you, old man sit down." As he spoke, he pulled Grandpa Lin Mo to sit on the upper seat and sit on an equal footing with himself. Grandpa looked at it and said again and again that this is not necessary, how can he be an equal, a flat-headed commoner, and the horseman.

Ma Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Lin Mo is not an outsider, Grandpa Lin Mo is naturally my elder, you should do this." ”

When Lin Mo saw it, he had to suggest that his grandfather sit down, and since Ma Zhiyuan had already said this, he naturally couldn't shirk it. After grandpa sat down, the subordinate made a cup of good tea for grandpa and Lin Mo, grandpa was full of emotion in his heart, he was just a humble subordinate when he first came to Mafu, but now he seems to have become the master, all because of his grandson Lin Mo. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart.

Ma Zhiyuan asked Lin Mo about the situation in Yunzhou, and Lin Mo said it simply, Ma Zhiyuan had actually learned most of the things from Wu Fuzi and Luo Ming, but from Lin Mo's mouth, it was more comprehensive, and Ma Zhiyuan was surprised when he heard it. After listening to Lin Mo's narration, Ma Zhiyuan said: "You are really good at taking advantage of the situation, borrowing the power of the county order in Qiannan, and even Mrs. Meng, who has a good reputation in Yunzhou, dares to take advantage of the situation, your courage is really not ordinary." ”

Lin Mo smirked when he heard "hehe". Ma Zhiyuan said: "By the way, what is it like for the Buddha to jump over the wall, I'm really curious." When Lin Mo heard this, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will send it tomorrow, and I promise to make you want to stop." ”

"Haha, then I'll wait for you to send it." Ma Zhiyuan said with a smile, and then said: "Luo Ming, the head of the Luo family in Yunzhou, is my brother-in-law, I went to a letter to ask him to take care of you, you can ask him if you have trouble." ”

Lin Mo nodded and solemnly thanked him: "Uncle Xie's love, Lin Mo will repay his kindness in the future." Ma Zhiyuan said with a smile: "You don't have to see the outside like this, if Aya goes to Yunzhou at the beginning of the year, you will have to help at that time." ”

Lin Mo immediately nodded in agreement. Then Lin Mo was about to leave with his grandfather, Ma Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "Lin Mo, you have to remember that you can't take advantage of the situation for a long time, it's better to rely on others than on yourself, be careful in everything in Yunzhou, then the Meng family should try not to get too close." Lin Mo nodded after hearing this, and then said goodbye and left.

By the way, Lin Mo still agrees with Ma Zhiyuan's words, no matter how much he doesn't have the strength, it will be in vain, as for not getting close to the Meng family, Lin Mo doesn't know what the reason is, but since Ma Zhiyuan said it, he must have his reasons, and it is better to pay attention to it.

When Lin Mo and his grandfather left the Ma Mansion and walked back, Grandpa looked at Lin Mo and said, "Xiao Mo, you still have to pay attention in the future, even if you earn money, we are still businessmen, don't be strong, we can't afford to mess with those officials." ”

Lin Mo nodded, understanding what his grandfather was worried about, in this era, power is king, no matter how rich a businessman is, he is still a businessman, and a businessman can only be a businessman, although he is rich, he does not have the ability to fight hard with those in power,

Therefore, Lin Mo wanted to change his social status through the imperial examination, at least so that he could earn money steadily.

On the way, Lin Mo met another acquaintance, Zhao Zhutou rushed home with the cooked food and wine he bought, and he happened to see Lin Mo and his grandfather. Zhao En greeted with a smile: "Yo! Lin Mo, are you back? Who is this old man? Lin Mo smiled: "Well, I just came back, this is my grandfather, and this grandfather is Zhao Zhutou of Qiannan." ”

When grandpa heard this, he hurriedly wanted to give it up, so frightened that Zhao Zhutou hurriedly put down the wine and food and held up grandpa and said: "Don't be like this, old man, you are an elder, I can't stand your courtesy, I have to give you a salute." As he spoke, he bowed to Grandpa Lin Mo, which caught Grandpa off guard. Lin Mo said: "Grandpa, don't be so restrained, Zhao Zhutou and I are very familiar with each other, so you don't need to see each other like this." ”

Zhao Pu also hurriedly said: "Yes, boss, don't see outside, I have a lifelong friendship with Lin Mo." Grandpa was relieved when he heard this, and Lin Mo asked, "Zhao Zhutou, you eat like this?" Zhao Pu smiled: "Haha, I'll just deal with it alone." ”

"Tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Hunting Tou, you will come to my place for the New Year, I happened to gather some people, and there are more people." Zhao Pu shook his head when he heard this: "Wouldn't it disturb your reunion if I went to you in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve." Lin Mo said with a smile: "My family is just me and my grandfather, this New Year's Festival is too thin, there are more people and it is more lively, you don't have to excuse yourself, I will personally cook good wine and good food to entertain you." ”

Zhao Pu finally nodded and agreed. After Zhao Pu left, his grandfather asked Lin Mo: "What kind of friendship do you have with this Zhao Zhutou?" When Lin Mo heard that Zhao Pu had leaked his mouth, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I met the bandits together, and I drove the bandits away with him." Lin Mo said it lightly, and tried to make the seriousness of the matter as light as possible, but when grandpa heard it, his face turned pale with fright, and he kept asking, Lin Mo had to prevaricate, but fortunately, Lin Mo's acting skills were superb, so he was not suspected.

In the evening, Lin Mo started to brew wine again, although this wine is relatively easy to distill, but after all, Lin Mo is alone, and he must distill more if he has to keep it for himself and give it away, so Lin Mo kept it until midnight, and then went back to the house to sleep.

Early the next morning, Lin Mo began to boil the Buddha and jump over the wall, one to send to Mafu, and one to keep for the New Year's Festival.

Grandpa got up and saw Lin Mo busy in the kitchen, and couldn't help sighing and said: "Xiao Mo, we can earn less money, but you have to find a daughter-in-law first, you are seventeen years old after the New Year, and it is time to find a daughter-in-law, you can't cook and wash your own laundry every day, there must still be a woman at home, and a woman is called home." Lin Mo just prevaricated with a wry smile on his face when he heard this: "I know this, and I will consider this matter when the matter over there in Yunzhou is dealt with." ”

As soon as the grandfather heard this, he continued: "I know that you have no intentions for the little girl of the Liu family, just as a brother and sister, and now that you have participated in the scientific examination and won the case, you can be regarded as a literati, and the identity of that little girl is still a little low compared to you, and it is nothing if you don't marry her." ”

Lin Mo frowned

frowned, grandpa will have this kind of class concept in this era, it is normal to look at people with colored glasses, but Lin Mo doesn't like to treat the people around him like this, especially a simple and kind woman like Xin'er, if she hears this, she must be very sad, this is what Lin Mo does not want to see.
