Chapter Seventy-Three: Searching

"Lin Lan, I took a look at your article, and it's remarkable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This county test wants to pass no problem, if you want to be brilliant, you have to put more effort into the article. Cheng Jingyun also appreciated this Yangzhou poet.

Lin Lan bowed and said, "Then thank Master Cheng for your advice." "The ancients studied, and the poor could only copy books to learn by themselves, and the rich and noble families could afford to hire private schools, and they could also have elders to carry them, which was naturally like a tiger with wings, which was also the reason why it was difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.

"You're welcome. The old man brings up the younger generations, which is also a gesture. ”

Lin Lan bowed and asked, "Then take your leave." "My father found a temporary tutor for him, wrote essays, and came up with questions, which made Lin Lan anxious.

Shun Yu took the bag handed by Lin Lan and asked, "Young Master, where are we going to eat?" ”

"The fifth day of the new year hasn't arrived yet, where is there a opening?"

When Shunyo heard it, he sighed repeatedly.

There are indeed more people on the streets, but they are all walking through the streets and alleys to greet each other. However, there is a profession that does not have a rest, whether it is windy or rainy, or during the New Year's holidays.

The old beggar took the bowl and Wishing you prosperity one by one, and after a while, there was copper money in this broken bowl.

Wow.

A large amount of money fell into the broken bowl, almost making the old beggar unable to hold the bowl in his hand.

When he saw the big money falling into Yousheng, the old beggar's eyes lit up, "Wishing you prosperity, good people are rewarded!" ”

Lin Lan smiled slightly and said, "After receiving the money, can I ask you something?" ”

"Childe just asked. The little old man must know everything and say everything. "The old beggar's ability to see money has been vividly demonstrated since he was wandering on the streets.

Lin Lan beckoned to the old beggar and said, "Come and talk." ”

The two walked into the alley. Lin Lan handed the painting to the old beggar and asked, "Do you know the person on the painting?" ”

The old beggar squinted his eyes, raised his head and smiled: "This is not the lame Yang Xinyong." ”

"You know?"

The old beggar nodded and said, "You're still looking for me today......

His words stopped abruptly, glanced at Lin Lan, and asked rhetorically, "Childe, what are you looking for him?" ”

Another two taels of silver were thrown into the bowl, Lin Lan leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and said, "Is it enough?" ”

"Enough is enough." The old beggar's eyes lit up. He hid the two silver naked men in his sleeves and said, "Yang Cripple came to me, saying that he was looking for a young man who used to hang out in Fushou Lane in Yangzhou, and he was looking for some young men who had nothing to eat and wanted to eat." ”

Lin Lan raised her eyebrows, "Then you agreed?" ”

"Not really. Why don't you agree to a profitable deal? The old beggar was missing a front tooth, hugged the broken bowl and said, "This Yang lame man doesn't know where he has made his fortune all these years, not only does he look like a dog, but he has also been taking away the apprentices and bastards of Fushou Lane and Tian'an Lane in the past, and it is estimated that he has gone to enjoy happiness." ”

Lin Lan laughed secretly, enjoy the blessings? If you want to see those so-called happy years, it is estimated that you don't want to enjoy happiness in this life. He said slowly: "Can you contact this Yang lame man now?" ”

"Don't mention it, the old ghost and dragon can't see the head at the end, but it's okay, meet when the market opens on the fifth day of the first month, do you have any instructions? As long as the little old man can do it, he will definitely help you. ”

"How many people does he want?"

"He said that it would be more than 100 of them, and I would draw three cents for one head." He saw that Lin Lan was so generous, and he was not afraid that he would rob the business, so he said it truthfully.

Lin Lan thought for a while and said, "In this way, before we meet on the fifth day of the first lunar month, how about we meet in this old place?" ”

"Done. Childe is what he says. The old beggar's yellow teeth were all exposed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together when he laughed.

Lin Lan patted the old beggar on the shoulder and said with a smile: "After the matter is completed, your benefits are indispensable." ”

……

……

Shun Yu followed Lin Lan all the way to the west of the city. After grinding all the way, his calves were sore, and he muttered, "Young master, aren't we going back home?" Why are you going further and further? ”

"Let's go buy something."

"Buying something? Master, don't lie to me. You said that the market will not open until the fifth day of the new year, and this is only the third day of the new year, where does the market come from? ”

Lin Lan smiled: "Young master, I have a way, you follow well, don't get lost." ”

The two of them arrived at the dirtiest place in the west of the city. Lin Lan saw that there were still people waiting by the pig pen, so she walked over and asked, "Shop, do you sell pigs?" ”

"Huh? Sell. "It's only the third day of the first lunar month, and there are really few people who come to sell pigs at this time," how many months does this little official take? ”

Pig breeding pays attention to the cycle, and it is generally possible to sell it for money in five or six months.

Lin Lan squinted her eyes and looked at the pigs arched together in the pig pen, with fat heads and big ears, who didn't seem to care about the smell at all. "Is there a baby suckling pig under a month old?"

Jia Ren, who sold pigs, immediately understood and said with a smile: "The little official bought it back to welcome the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the new year." This little pig is selling very well now. ”

Lin Lan threw a tael of silver to Jia Ren and said, "Pick a clever one for me." ”

"Oh, little official. This has to be eaten, what else is not clever? ”

Lin Lan held on to the fence, looked left and right, and said, "If you ask you to pick it, you can pick it, the kind of person who is too lazy to move, it's better not to take it out for me, otherwise this silver will ......."

"Well, wait a minute, I'll pick a 'grandson monkey' for you." Jia Ren smiled, he was a person who said human things, and he talked nonsense, as long as Lin Lan gave money, he could pick out the most beautiful one.

Jia Ren entered the pig pen, and Shunyoke wondered, "Young master, the master didn't ask us to buy pigs." The ten taels of silver you just earned, one tael to buy medicine, three taels to send to beggars, and now you buy pigs, this money is not spent like this. ”

Lin Lan gave Shunyu a popping chestnut and scolded with a smile: "You are really getting more and more unruly now." Dare to teach the young master that I spent money? ”

"Woo, don't dare. Shunyo is just distressed. ”

Jia Ren took a hemp rope and quickly brought the little piglet over.

"Little official, are you still satisfied? Look at it, it's alive. Jia Ren checked the piglet in his arms, and it seemed that he could still pull the tail of the little piglet, making the piglet run wildly.

Lin Lan smiled: "That's it." ”

Seeing that the deal was reached, Jia Ren smiled, put the hemp rope around the neck of the little piglet, and said, "Son, you take it." ”

Lin Lan took the pig and walked back, and then felt that it was a little strange to slip the pig like this, so he handed over the hemp rope to Shunyo.

As a result, all the way back, I heard people talking from time to time.

"Yo, isn't this the Shunyo of the Lin family's mansion, what does it mean to lead a pig?"

"Could it be that Lin Lan raised it?"

The black lines on his face were smooth, and his reputation in this life was ruined.
