Chapter 011: The Lin Family
The burial, covering the soil, and a series of burial procedures were completed step by step under the personal auspices of Zhu Fu. After the event, Wang Dake told him that his master had invited him to the forest mansion in the city of Daxing County. Seeing that Zhu Fu, who has never been paid for money, might as well go on this experience, firstly, he will have a good meal and good drink, and secondly, it will be convenient for him to do things. Thinking about it, after taking the silver, he always had to buy a lot of daily necessities in the city with Zhao Tian'er, after all, there was nothing left in Wuzhuang Guanzhong.
Under Wang Dake's arrangement, Zhu Fu and Zhao Tianer sat in the back carriage, while Wang Dake sat in the front carriage as the leader and headed towards the city. Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Fu, who no longer has to worry about his livelihood, is in a good mood, in addition to chatting with Zhao Tianer along the way, he also asks her from time to time if she needs something? For this reason, she didn't want anything on her lips, she was full of joy, but she was not duplicitous, she had to think about something material, but she really felt his sincerity to herself.
Thinking that Zhu Fu, who had money in hand, was not stingy, and spent the money on Zhao Tianer, there was nothing unworthy of it. In this world, his only relative is her, and her only person is also him. In the most difficult time, Zhao Tian'er not only did not abandon herself, but also boiled the only remaining rice in the rice bowl into a bowl of thick porridge for herself to eat. At a young age, she was still in the stage of growing her body, but she only drank rice soup to satisfy her hunger. As soon as Zhu Fu thought of this, he was moved in his heart, and repeatedly said that he would buy her a few sets of beautiful new clothes, a few pairs of fashionable shoes, and some decent head and face jewelry...... In a word, what the daughter of a solid family should have, Zhao Tianer must also have, and what they don't have, she will still have.
I don't know how long it was, the carriage that Zhu Fu and Zhao Tianer were riding stopped and was told by the coachman that the Lin Mansion had arrived. He opened the curtain of the carriage first, and got out of the carriage with both feet on the ground. I looked up at the main entrance of the Lin Mansion and intuitively felt what the word "magnificent" was. The Lin family in Daxing County is really not a businessman who is very rich.
It is the Lin family in front of him, but they occupy more than sixty percent of the good fields in the county. Not only that, not only in Daxing County, but also in all the counties and Sanzhou under Shuntianfu, together with the Jingshi, there are a lot of rice shops of the Lin family, and the silk village ...... the words "rich and rival the country" to describe the wealth and industry of the Lin family, but it is not an exaggeration.
"Daoist Zhu, please inside." identified him as a strange person, thus showing that Wang Dake, who was quite courteous to Zhu Fu, stretched out his arm and pointed to the side of the door, with a smile on his face.
Zhu Fu, who nodded, walked forward with him, and Zhao Tianer, who saw such a world for the first time, couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart, took small steps under her feet, and followed closely behind Zhu Fu, for fear that she would be lost. The more he walked inward, the more Zhu Fu was surprised, after all, it was not difficult to see from the various carved dragon paintings with exquisite craftsmanship that he saw, and it was not difficult to see that the wealth of the Lin family was extraordinary, not just the appearance of the grandeur.
"Daoist Zhu, you can sit here for a while. I'm going to the backyard and ask my lord to come and talk to you. To tell you the truth, my lord was also a devout believer. Therefore, he is very respectful of a Taoist like you. Wang Dake, who led Zhu Fu into the main hall of the mansion, signaled the maid to serve good tea on the one hand, and said goodbye on the other.
returned the other party's bow, and Zhu Fu, who sat down on a circle chair in the west row, casually focused on the layout of the room. Although I don't know the wood of the furniture in the house, it is not difficult to guess that it should all be rosewood, after all, the main hall in such a house can not be sloppy, but absolutely high-end, atmospheric and high-grade. Otherwise, it won't be a system.
Next to his right hand, Zhao Tian'er, who sat down carefully, had never been able to stabilize her heart. She knows that she has a few pounds and a few taels, but she is not afraid of being ridiculed as a poor girl in the countryside who has no knowledge, but she is worried that it will be bad if she loses face to Zhu Fu.
Immediately, two well-dressed and good-looking little maids from the Lin Mansion each used a tray to bring a high-grade blue and white porcelain tea cup to the dragon well before the rain. Seeing this situation, Zhao Tian'er, who was in a hurry to leave the circle chair, took the initiative to stretch out her hands to pick it up, but in exchange for their laughter.
Zhu Fu, who was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, naturally saw why they were laughing, so in order to get back face for Zhao Tian'er, he said bluntly: "Tian'er, you can just sit raw." Just let them do the work of the subordinates. Don't forget, we were invited by their grandfather. ”
The two little maids who heard this immediately put away their sneers at Zhao Tian'er's face. They put the teacup on the nearby coffee table, and then retreated sideways without saying a word. After walking out of the hall for a distance, in order to regain their psychological balance, the two chattered privately about how shabby Zhu Fu and Zhao Tianer were.
"Brother Fu, did I embarrass you just now?" Zhao Tian'er, who realized that she had made a mistake, couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and completely showed that she was very unhappy.
"They're dogs who look down on people. Why do you want to be like them? When I get done, don't be like them. Half-joking, half-serious Zhu Fu, can you not know that the two of them just now have been selected several times internally in a high-ranking family, on the one hand, they have been used to serve tea to guests, and on the other hand, they are also to give the little maid with a long face to the host, but she has a pair of snobbish eyes.
Zhao Tian'er, who pouted her pink mouth, saw that he didn't blame herself at all, so she showed a sense of relief, but she sat down again and said: "I won't be like them!" ”
From the coffee table next to him, Zhu Fu, who was holding the tea, lifted the lid on it, gently blew the two or three pieces of tea leaves floating on the surface, and smiled: "My sweetness is pure and kind by nature, and she knows the general situation, so naturally she will not become the same as them." ”
As soon as the words fell, a hearty man laughed from outside: "The old man is late, and I hope that the distinguished guests will not be surprised." ”
