Chapter 19: Auntie

This printing room is the property of Xie Lin's family.

Lao Xie is a native of Fujian, but he has been operating in Jinghu for more than 20 years, although he is also considered to be honest, but after all, everyone needs to be fed, so the industry is still purchased.

Coincidentally, the industry of Lao Xie's family is dominated by printing houses and paper mills. Originally, Lin You was still thinking about how to keep it secret, but now it's okay, operating the lottery tickets in the Xie family's printing room, and he doesn't have to worry about leaking secrets at all.

In line with the principle of making a fortune together, Xie Fang was pulled in by Lin He again and took a part. Although he was a little ignorant, Xie Fatzi subconsciously felt that everything he did with Lin He was a good thing.

Last time, I just went to the snack street station and returned to the street, so I took more than 50 yuan in vain, and I had several more pieces of money every month. Today's Young Master Xie walks with the wind, and he has to buy whatever he wants, and the corners of his mouth are oily every day when he walks on the road. The guy who was so embarrassed that his face was flushed for a dozen copper plates is long gone.

"Childe, our carving skills are still in your eyes, right?"

Although it is a question, the words are full of pride. Standing in front of Lin He was the chief steward of this printing room, named Han Fu. He has been in charge of the printing house for ten years, and it is said that he learned carving from his father since he was a child, and this craft has been passed down for four generations. The hand-carved stunt is unparalleled in Gangneung Mansion.

Even people like Lin You, who are accustomed to the impact of modern aesthetics, can't help but marvel at him when they see the fine printing layout.

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

"Han is a good handicraft! It's really sad to bother you to do it yourself. ”

"Where is the childe, the work assigned by the young master of my family, the little old man must do it beautifully."

Han Fu stroked his beard, if he didn't look at the ink filth all over his body, he was really no different from a master of Taoism.

"By the way, Childe, you want that...... I've got the signature for you, can you take a look? ”

"Oh? So fast? ”

Lin He connected a rectangular box, and inside was a movable wooden stamp, which was the coding machine of later generations. In this era, there is no rubber or anything, and every character in it is hand-carved by the master. There are a total of seven grids, which can print seven permutations and combinations of words. Each cell has a gear on it, and each tooth on the gear has a symbol printed on it. You only need to change the gears at any time to print different characters.

"Well done!"

Lin He fiddled with the gears a few times, and felt much better than he expected!

Han Fu shook his head proudly: "This thing is easy to make, isn't it just a miniature version of the movable type printing machine?" It's a bit difficult to carve the crooked and weird characters above, otherwise I would have been able to get it for Childe yesterday. ”

Lin He nodded, after all, if the English letters and Arabic numerals want to be carved on such a small gear, they still have to be printed clearly, and it really takes a lot of effort. This Master Han Bok-jin also!

Lin You tried to print it, the handwriting was very clear, the gears were also extremely flexible, and the damping feeling of craftsmanship felt that I couldn't stop when I played with it.

"The 3,000 version of the ticket stub has been printed?"

"It's coming soon, there's still an hour to finish."

"Well, after printing, the engraving will be sealed immediately, and Lord Cai will make someone come to take the printing plate away, and come back next time when it is printed, do you understand?"

Han Fu nodded, he has been the chief steward for ten years, what kind of things have he never seen? As long as it involves the government, there is nothing wrong with keeping your mouth shut.

There is still no one, Lin He shook his head, now Lin Zhong is the only one who is powerful, the family is his mother's sister and a sprinkling and sweeping Aunt Chen, there is not even a person at hand who can summon it, it seems that the matter of hiring servants is going to be put on the agenda.

Lin You was playing with the coding machine and was planning, and Uncle Zhong, whom he had just been talking about, walked in.

"Young master, hurry up and go home, the third lady is here."

Lin Zhong followed Lin Zhen when he didn't separate from the old Lin family, and the third lady in his mouth was Lin Zhen's little sister Lin Yue.

According to the relationship, Lin You should call her aunt.

This aunt is different from Lin You's uncle, and her relationship with Lin Zhen's family is not bad, but after getting married, she gradually moved less.

She married Xu Feng, the son of the Xu family of the Jiangnan Wang family, and it is said that they have an excellent relationship. It's just strange that Lin Zhen died and mourned, but the sister who had the best relationship with him did not show up, which made Yang wipe his tears several times. Her relationship with this person should not be bad.

Unexpectedly, it has been a month since my father was buried, but this aunt came to the door.

As soon as Lin He entered the door, he saw his mother Yang and a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting opposite each other, their eyes were red, their clothes were a little damp, and it seemed that they had already cried bitterly.

When the beautiful woman saw Lin He enter the door, she couldn't help but get up, walked forward quickly, and hugged Lin He in her arms.

Lin He: ???

Big sister has made a mistake, do you know how to avoid suspicion!

"My son, your life is so miserable, it's all your aunt's fault, you have to go to the street to sell to survive, your aunt can't stand you......"

This one is sincere, tears and snot blurred Lin Youyi's shoulders. Lin He smiled bitterly and forcibly broke free, resisting the urge to take a bath and saluted: "My nephew has seen my aunt, and my aunt is fine." ”

Lin Yuexing's eyes glared slightly: "Alright?" It's not good at all, the second brother is gone, and now even my nephew dislikes me! ”

Lin and helpless, where is this.

Not knowing how to answer this aunt's words, Lin You could only bow his head respectfully and dare not speak out. Seeing that he was embarrassed, Yang hurriedly pulled Lin Yue: "What is this talking about, you hurry back and sit down, he hasn't seen you for too long, so it's ......"

"Sister-in-law, don't comfort me!"

Lin Yue has a pungent personality, but she is a straightforward character: "I know that you are angry in your hearts, when the second brother was at the funeral, I couldn't be there, you must blame me, and my eldest brother actually did this and swept you out of the house, if it wasn't for my husband to stop me, I would have smashed the door of his house that day!" ”

For some reason, although this aunt Lin Yue acted crazy, Lin He looked at her crying and making trouble, but her heart was peaceful, and there was even a warmth flowing. This is the feeling between relatives, there is a cover-up and a calculation, and the true feelings are revealed.

While she was talking, Lin Yue suddenly showed a look of pain and coughed repeatedly......

"Mother, don't be angry, please sit down."

A young man who was about the same age as Lin He hurriedly helped Lin Yue to sit down, his face full of anxiety. He is quite handsome, and his eyebrows are seven or eight points similar to Lin Yue, and he should have always been the son of this aunt, that is, Lin He's cousin.

Lin He saw that she was full of red and gasping, so he hurriedly asked Lin Zhong to fetch a bowl of hot water.

"What's going on? Has my aunt ever seen Lang Zhong? ”

Lin Yue took a sip of water and waved her hand: "I've seen it, ** is sick, if it weren't for this illness, how could I miss your father's funeral, and it also caused resentment in your mother's hearts." ”

Lin He couldn't smile bitterly, this aunt, we really don't have it!
