Chapter 029: Gaffe
As Mrs. Lin's series of actions approached the New Year day by day, the reduction of the Lin family's slaves did not affect Lin Liu, because the people around him did not decrease, and the quality of life was still the same.
But the other person is different.
"Big brother, what are you thinking?" Lin Liu asked in a low voice to Lin Ruhai, who seemed to be stunned in that posture.
Lin Ruhai maintained the posture of putting down the pen, and he didn't know that the ink on the pen fell on the rice paper, this was not his usual style, it looked a little abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Awakened by Lin Liu's voice, Lin Ruhai came back to his senses, "It's nothing." He lowered his head, and the rice paper in front of him had been dyed with ink, so he hurriedly put down the pen and replaced the rice paper, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was trying to avoid something.
Lin Liu glanced at Lin Ruhai deeply, and saw that he didn't have any desire/desire to say, so he turned his head and continued to practice calligraphy, which is a persistent thing.
After changing the rice paper, Lin Ruhai saw that Lin Liu began to practice calligraphy seriously, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. I wanted to pick up the pen again to practice calligraphy, but I couldn't calm down in my heart, so I couldn't bear to write two words, which was extremely ugly. However, Lin Ruhai obviously didn't want to be seen by Lin Liu, even if the writing was so bad that he couldn't stand it, he was still writing. But this heart can't be calmed, and the more I write, the more the fire in my heart surges.
"Bang!" The sound of the brush and the wooden table touching seemed to knock something down, followed by the sound of a crisp piece of porcelain shattering.
Lin Liu almost subconsciously looked towards Lin Ruhai, only to see Lin Ruhai standing there with an angry face, staring at the rice paper on the table that had been polluted by ink......
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Lin Liu asked.
Not only Lin Liu was asking, but the little guys who heard the noise outside also raised their voices and asked, "Uncle, second master, is there something wrong?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that the pen holder was accidentally broken, you guys can come in and clean it up later." Lin Liu replied in a loud voice, and then pulled Lin Ruhai, who was obviously not in a state, on his sleeve a few times.
Lin Ruhai, who came back to his senses, also said: "It's okay, let the person who comes in to clean up later, bring a new pen holder." ”
"Yes!" After hearing the words of the two young masters, the little guy didn't ask and answered directly.
Lin Liu pulled Lin Ruhai to sit down on a chair beside him, poured him another cup of tea and put it in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, what's wrong with you today, why are you so unwilling, is there anything uncomfortable, do you want someone to invite a doctor?" Lin Liu naturally knew that Lin Ruhai was not sick, but if he wanted to know the reason, he naturally couldn't ask so bluntly, although he and Lin Ruhai, the brother-in-law, had a good relationship, they were not to the point of having no reservations about each other.
Although Lin Ruhai is smart, his age is there, looking at Lin Liu's sincere and concerned gaze, he naturally didn't find that Lin Liu wanted to talk to him, he just took a sip of tea, and his face was full of exhaustion, "I'm fine, I don't need to ask a doctor." ”
"Big brother, we are brothers, what can't we say." Lin Liu saw that Lin Ruhai was unmoved, and said: "Of course, if you think I am not qualified to know, don't say it, but I will go to my mother's place for dinner later." "If Mrs. Lin finds out and something big happens, don't blame him for not reminding Lin Ruhai.
Lin Liu's words were to provoke the general, Lin Ruhai was really fooled, and hurriedly said: "No, it's not a big deal, you are not qualified to know anything!" I'm just thinking about the nurse and Cui Qiao, why do you say they want to do it, I gave them all the keys to the house...... "Be greedy for money, play some tricks in Lin Ruhai's house, not only fast but also safe."
For example, when Lin Ruhai rewarded people's money, he secretly paid some money, whether it was copper money or silver, it was very easy to operate. No one knows how many copper coins there are, as long as the number is not excessive, it is not up to the person who catches it; Silver, generally ten taels of one, to use a special silver scissors, cut a piece down, who knows how much you cut and how little!
Moreover, Lin Ruhai is Mrs. Lin's own son and the eldest son of the Lin family, his treatment is undoubtedly the best, except for the original share of the Lin family, Mrs. Lin will also privately subsidize Lin Ruhai, usually as long as Wang Fu's family and Cui Qiao report the domestic sales of Lin Ruhai's house a little higher, it is enough to embezzle a lot of property.
There are many things and names that can be fished.
This is also why the big girl next to Jia Baoyu attacked someone's house, and she was so poor that she bought a daughter before, but within a few years, the family not only built a new house, but also had a field and could use fragrant cakes, not because the attacker had the key to Jia Baoyu's house.
Didn't Lin Ruhai count it in his heart?
If Lin Liu might have thought this way before, but now after listening to Lin Ruhai's words, Lin Liu knows that Lin Ruhai has a number in his heart, in fact, the masters of this kind of thing have a number in their hearts, but don't go too far, they will generally turn a blind eye.
"Why don't you do it, who doesn't want this white money, naturally the more you hope for, the better. Besides, the eldest brother, this person goes to a high place and the water flows to a low place, just like we hope that our father's official will do as much as possible, hope that his knowledge will get better and better, and hope that his handwriting can become a master, just like the majority of ordinary people hope that after eating pork today, they can still have fish and chicken to eat tomorrow, they also want to get more benefits, if they are all like the eldest brother you think, everyone keeps to themselves, there will be no power at all, and there will be no change of dynasty. Lin Liu said with a smile.
This is actually not surprising at all, who doesn't have some ambition.
It is human nature that people's first need is to live, and when the first need is satisfied, they will naturally pursue a better life.
"Don't say that." Lin Ruhai was taken aback by Lin Liu's words, there was nothing in front of him, and it was very reasonable, but if the last sentence was spread, I was afraid that the Lin family would be unlucky.
Lin Liu glanced at Lin Ruhai, "I'm just talking about it in front of you, big brother, I won't say anything to my father." "He's not an idiot, he said in front of Master Lin that this wasn't his own fight.
"Besides, the rules of the Lin family, they are all born of the family, how can they not know, but they are just lost in their minds by desire/hope and hold on to luck, such people are no longer those people in your memory, big brother."
