Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Lost Girl
The next day, the flower fairy led Lin Tian and his party to a mansion in the North District. The North District is a gathering place for the elite, and being able to have a mansion here shows that the strength of the flower fairy should not be underestimated.
From the very beginning, Lan Zi'an paid special attention to this proprietress, and now she is close to Lin Tian again. Lan Zi'an reminded Lin Tian more than once to beware of this woman. Lan Zi'an, as a native of the Canghan Empire, had also heard that the flower fairy was implicated in a certain big figure in the imperial court, and now that the imperial court is seriously contested, Lan Zi'an is particularly afraid that Lin Tian will also be implicated.
Party strife is like a quagmire, as long as it gets wet, it will sink deeper and deeper. Lan Zi'an is not only good friends with Lin Tian, but has often thought about his master's instructions in recent days. Through these years of observation and getting along, Lan Zi'an felt that Lin Tian was indeed a friend worth making, but he didn't see Lin Tian's extraordinaryness from the noble person mentioned by the master.
But Lan Zi'an faintly felt that Lin Tian was indeed a little different from them, and he didn't think it clearly for a while. As a friend, he also has to protect Lin Tian's safety and keep him away from strife.
Lin Tian and others are still very satisfied with this house, the only drawback is that the price is too high. The flower fairy actually offered 300 gold, saying that it was still a human price. Fortunately, none of them knew the land price here, so no one exposed the flower fairy, but the location here was really good, and the house was also excellent, with all the courtyard pavilions and pavilions.
Lin Tian is a person who is afraid of trouble, and they are not familiar with this place, so it will be difficult to find another good house like this. Seeing that everyone was quite satisfied, Lin Tian bought it ruthlessly, but money was a big problem. Counting the previous balance and the money recently earned, it is just over half of the payment.
According to the current best-selling 20 healing pills a day, you can earn more than 20 gold a day, so that you can settle it in seven or eight days. It is not difficult to let the flower fairy discuss with the homeowner, Lin Tian went to find the flower fairy.
The flower fairy pretended to be very embarrassed at first, saying that this house was very popular, and I was afraid that the owner would not wait for seven or eight days to settle it. Lin Tian had no choice, he wanted to find the flower fairy to advance dividends, but the flower fairy said that the wine had not been sold yet, where did the profit dividends come from, these are all to be accounted for, and they can't be confused.
At this point, Lin Tian was in trouble, looking at Lin Tian's troubled appearance, the flower fairy was faintly happy. After waiting for a while, Lin Tian didn't figure out where to find a vacancy.
Looking at Lin Tian's scratching of his ears and cheeks, the flower fairy thought that it was almost over, and the anger that should have come out was also out. So she gave Lin Tian a suggestion, she could personally provide Lin Tian with a loan first, and repay it at one percent of the daily interest, which should be regarded as a usury in modern times.
Lin Tian obviously didn't care about the interest of dozens of gold, and happily agreed. Although the gold-absorbing weapon healing medicine will become weaker and weaker with time, he still has a huge dividend from the winery! As soon as he remembered that he was now the second largest "shareholder" of Huayu Winery, Lin Tian smiled from ear to ear, which was simply an unexpected joy.
After that, everyone moved into a new residence, there were no servants or anything like that, and there were 7 of them in the whole house, and the house was big, and one person was still full of room in one room. The reason for not inviting a servant was because the cash in hand was not enough to spend, and the second was that Lin Tian did not like the feeling of being served by others all day long.
After settling down, Lin Tian began to work on the plan in his heart. Lin Tian spent a lot of money to repair a letter and ask someone to send it back to Yidi, so that they could send a caravan to contact and negotiate with the surrounding countries.
After that, slowly unveil the city, Lin Tian looked at his plan in the study, thoughtful. "Childe, it's time to eat." Chen Manni knocked on the door and shouted outside.
"Here it comes". Lin Tian put away the booklet in front of him and put it back on his chest, this was his secret, a secret that he had never told anyone. Open the door, walk out, and go to the dining room for a meal.
Chen Xiuyuan and Chen Manni are serving the dishes back and forth, and there are already two people sitting at the table. "I said you guys are embarrassed, sit still every time, wait for the food to be served?" Lin Tian sat down with a smile, this period of getting along has made everyone more familiar, so it is nothing to say this kind of thing in front of Lu Qianqian.
Lu Qianqian was a little embarrassed when she heard this. She wanted to help, but she really couldn't help, she almost helped the first few times, and then Wu Yao sent her to sit here in peace. "Haha, who told us to make money? Brother Lin, aren't you waiting for someone to call you in the study every day. In other words, these days, you are bored in your room every day, what are you doing? If you don't take care of the business in the restaurant, you're not afraid that I will take the money and run away. ”
"I can't stop you if you want to run, besides, Brother Lan is not that kind of person, I believe Brother Lan."
Although Lin Tian didn't go to the restaurant to check the situation once these days, Lan Zi'an went there, how could he not believe Lan Zi'an. Take this mansion as an example, although Lin Tian's name is written on the title deed, there is actually a share of Lan Zi'an in the purchase price. said that the good medicine business was divided with Lan Zi'an, but all the profits after that were used to buy this house, and Lan Zi'an never said a word.
"Haha, come", Lan Zi'an poured Lin Tian a glass of Chunjiangyue, which was the newly brewed wine that Lin Tian and the flower fairy collaborated on, "drinking". Lan Zi'an put a cup into his stomach cleanly, and Lin Tian followed. "Cool", Lan Zi'an shouted cheerfully, but Lin Tian didn't think so, Lin Tian only felt that his throat was full of spicy.
This is still Lin Tian's special instruction to the winery to dilute the wine, because the alcohol is too pure, and it must be blended before it can be eaten. If you don't say that the liquor industry is violent, according to Lin Tian's method, you can completely blend the distilled liquor and sell it, and it also saves a lot of transportation effort on the road.
"The dishes are not ready, why are you in such a hurry." Wu Yao walked over with a plate of dishes and said. "The two of them, as long as there is wine, it is fine, and I see, there is no need to prepare their meals in the future, just prepare a pot of wine."
"Alas, junior sister, one pot is enough, at least one jar is like words!" The crow covered his mouth and snickered, "Yes, yes, Yitan, then I won't prepare meals for the two of you from now on." ”
"Yao'er, I didn't say it, I still want my share." Lin Tian hurriedly spoke. "Brother Lin, you don't want to be angry!" Then he turned to Wu Yao and smiled; "There is no wine and no food, how to drink! So, I still want my share. ”
"Alright, let's eat!" As the Chen family sisters and brothers came to the table with Dalu, Wu Yao announced the start of the meal.
The meals are quite hearty, with local dishes and local dishes. The local dishes are naturally made by Manni, and the Yidi dishes are naturally made by Wu Yao. "Although we don't need to be served by others, we always have to eat, so let's hire a few cooks! Every time, I keep a few of you busy and prepare a big table, which is quite tiring. Lin Tian, who was eating, paused for a moment and said to the people who were eating.
"Childe, is my food unpalatable?"
Mannie asked preemptively, looking a little nervous.
"Why, I don't have to say that my Mannie's craftsmanship is good, don't you say?" Wu Yao hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, touched Mannie's head and comforted her, and asked Lin Tian for an answer. "Of course, Mannie's craftsmanship is really good, even if I eat it every day, I won't get tired of it!" Lin Tian spoke to comfort this sensitive little girl. Others also spoke comfortably, and the little girl finally relaxed.
Since staying by Lin Tian's side, he found that he seemed to be unable to walk with others, because the gap was too big. Especially with Lin Tian, Mannie felt that she didn't understand Lin Tian's preferences at all, and she couldn't help him, as if she was not a person of the same world as others. The little girl, Mannie, understood that if she couldn't close the distance with the others, then the two siblings would be farther and farther away from Lin Tian and them. may repeat the mistakes of Chenjiazhuang, gradually cold, or even isolated and abandoned.
All along, my sister told my younger brother to do things seriously, be careful, and do my best to complete the things that Lin Tian and them explained, without the slightest slack. When she was in the restaurant annex, she and Wu Yao prepared the food together, and it was the same after coming to the new house. Lin Tian suddenly said this today, which made her think that Lin Tian was tired of eating.
In other words, there is no place for her, there is no place for her. At a young age, Mannie had a different experience and endured things that she shouldn't have at her age. After the Chen family incident, she understood a truth, useless people will be abandoned, abandoned, the Chen family abandoned their sister and brother very decisively after the old lady's death, even if they were so loved by the old lady before, even the other Chen family members did not feel sorry for their sister and brother.
So she understood that useless people were destined to be abandoned, and perhaps it should be said that this child was a little more extreme-minded, but this was something she had experienced, at least she thought so.
"Mannie, don't think about it too much, your big brother Lin Tian is afraid that he will be tired of us, and he cares about us!" Wu Yao gets along with her siblings more deeply, so she also understands that Mannie's heart is actually very fragile, and she pretends to be strong on the outside, just because she doesn't want them to think that she is a fragile person. "Hmm", Chen Mani hummed softly, but Wu Yao saw the firmness in the girl's eyes.
That night, Wu Yao talked to Lin Tian and talked about Mannie's problem. Wu Yao thought that he had explained a lot openly and secretly, but the effect was very small, so he went to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian also thinks that the situation is serious, and it is not good to have knots and obsessions at a young age. Seeing that the light in Chen Mani's room was not extinguished, Lin Tian knocked on the door. Xiao Nizi is neatly dressed, the quilt is neatly folded, and she has no intention of falling asleep at all, and it seems that she has something on her mind and can't sleep.
This time Lin Tian found Chen Manny for the first time, and it was also the first time that the two of them met alone. Mannie was still a little nervous, and looked at Lin Tian blankly.
"Ahem", Lin Tian raised his head with a soft expression, "Your sister Wuyao is afraid that you will be bored and panicked, so let me come over and talk to you." The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Lin Tian had to open his mouth with his head up.
Saying this, Mannie also understood Lin Tian's intention, she was a strong child, at least she thought so. Mustering up his courage, Zhengse said to Lin Tian: "I know that Childe is a lobbyist sent by my sister and cares about me, but I don't need to be comforted, because I know what I want to do, Childe should go back and rest early!." ”
Lin Tian was shocked, this was not at all what a fourteen-year-old girl and a child could say. Perhaps it was the experience that deeply affected her. Lin Tian thought so, and he also felt that he had to correct her, otherwise he would always force himself like this, and one day he would collapse.
Lin Tian planned to pull up this stumbling girl, after all, she was still at the best age of her life, and there was no need to live so tired.
