CHAPTER XIV
Lin Zhiyun's mother used to learn art as an embroiderer in Fucheng, and she was born with a pair of skillful hands, she was very proficient in spinning, weaving, dyeing, embroidery, and knotting, and even had the unique skill of making silk flowers with one hand. Lin Zhiyun followed her mother, she was very talented in this area, and she learned it thoroughly since she was a child, but she didn't dare to show too much when she lived in Lin Qinghe's house, but now that she is married and has broken off her relationship with Lin Qinghe, then these things can be picked up again.
At the moment, her hand is injured, and she can't make complex or particularly realistic silk flowers, but she can make some silk flowers that look cumbersome but are easy to make. As soon as she picked out all the purple cloth heads in the bag of rags and was about to make a purple jade hibiscus, Shen Junyao hurriedly ran in and said that there were two guests outside the house looking for her.
Lin Zhiyun put down the things in his hand and went out to take a look, only to see Lin Xiuyue and Xu Bowen coming together, both of them did not look very good, obviously uninvited guests. However, after Lin Xiuyue saw that Lin Zhiyun was still wearing the same wedding dress, her face sank at first, and then eased a little.
Lin Zhiyun is wearing the side that is only embroidered with peach blossoms today, and there is no other side to attract attention, and it looks very simple. Besides, she has only been married for three days, and it is normal to wear red clothes to celebrate happily, so the people in the village don't feel that anything is wrong when they see it. But Lin Xiuyue could see at a glance that this was Lin Zhiyun who had no other clothes to wear, so she had to wear a wedding dress all the time. Although as soon as she saw this happy dress, she remembered that Lin Zhiyun had put her together, which made her unhappy, but she felt happy when she saw that Lin Zhiyun was so poor that she didn't have to change her clothes.
This Shen family is really down, and her original decision was right. It's just that Lin Zhiyun's embroidery work is so good, what if she makes money for the Shen family by embroidery in the future?
No, she can't let Lin Zhiyun's hand get better, otherwise even if she pretends to have a hand injury for the rest of her life, as long as Lin Zhiyun's embroidery spreads, her lack of embroidery will be exposed.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyue strode towards Lin Zhiyun and made an affectionate appearance.
"Today, I went back to the door with my father-in-law, but I didn't see my second sister, and my father and mother missed my second sister very much, so I asked me to come and have a look." Lin Xiuyue said that she was about to take her hand.
Lin Zhiyun hurriedly avoided her hand and said coldly: "Now that I have broken off my relationship with Uncle Lin's family, there is no need for the two families to interact in the future, so where did I come from to talk about it?" ”
Lin Xiuyue was even more unhappy when she mentioned this, and immediately laughed mockingly: "On that day, our family agreed to break off the family because my sister used the book as a threat, but now the book is not in the Xu family at all, so the severance will naturally not be counted!" Isn't my sister afraid that after this untrustworthy thing spreads, it will hinder your family's reputation? ”
Lin Zhiyun felt funny: "Where do I have any reputation with Third Brother Shen?" Back then, my big sister and aunt took pleasure in destroying my reputation, why are they worried about my reputation now? ”
"What is my sister talking nonsense? How have I ruined your reputation? I know you have a lot of complaints about sending the wrong sedan chair, but you can't change the book of the minister! If you don't want to give it in the first place, then you shouldn't make so many requests, and since you did, you shouldn't be untrustworthy. Lin Xiuyue said dissatisfied.
Shen Junchuan heard the movement outside and hurriedly jumped out with a limp leg, and when he came out, he saw Lin Xiuyue's hands about to grab Lin Zhiyun's injured hand again, and hurriedly knocked Lin Xiuyue on the shoulder with the wooden stick in his hand, making Lin Xiuyue feel pain and let go. After that, he pulled Lin Zhiyun behind him, not allowing Lin Xiuyue to have a chance to touch her.
Xu Bowen's face suddenly became even more ugly: "Brother Shen is inevitably a little too much, how can he be so heavy on a woman?" ”
Shen Junchuan sneered: "If I don't attack her, she will grab my daughter-in-law's hand." She hurt my daughter-in-law's hand last time, and now she has come to scratch it again before the injury is healed, this is to want my daughter-in-law to be injured and injured? ”
"It's just a hand-in-hand between sisters, why does Brother Shen say it so seriously? Even if Brother Shen repents of repenting of the Lin family, he can't ruin Yueniang's reputation like this. Xu Bowen said dissatisfied.
"What is she, and what is she worthy of my hatred? If it weren't for harboring evil intentions, why would she stare at Yun Niang's hand every day? Shen Junchuan snorted coldly, and threw the two books he had copied and bound to Xu Bowen, "I know you came here today for that box of books, but it is Mr. Lin's relic, and there is Mr. Lin's handwriting on it, Yun Niang is not willing to give anyone anything to blame." As for the three conditions, they were handed over on the spot at that time, and there was no possibility of changing them. If you want to read the book, I can copy it for you, and I have copied these two books, so you can take them and read them first. ”
Xu Bowen opened the two books, although he didn't see anything wrong, he instinctively didn't trust Shen Junchuan. In case Shen Junchuan deliberately made some mistakes in order to retaliate against him and the Lin family, he couldn't know if he hadn't read it. Xu Bowen felt that no matter what, he had to read those books for himself. Besides, what's the use of just a transcript? The most valuable of those books are the annotations!
It would be better if he could move away, after all, books are priceless for readers, and if he has more books, his heritage will be richer in the eyes of others. He had seen Lin Qingshan's collection of books a few times, many of which could not be bought in the county, and he had to go to Fucheng to buy them, and even some Fucheng didn't know if they existed. He couldn't figure out how Lin Qingshan bought those books, but he hadn't thought much about it before, because he had always thought that those books would be hiss sooner or later, who knew that now Shen Junchuan would actually want to rob him. But what's the use of Shen Junchuan snatching it? Now that the Shen family is so depressed that they can't afford to pay it, and Lin Zhiyun is a pampered person who can't work, Shen Junchuan has no chance to turn over at all.
"In that case, then Brother Shen will lend me the book first, let me take it back and copy it." Xu Bowen said again.
Shen Junchuan shook his head: "If you want to copy it yourself, you can copy it, but you have to copy it under my nose, who knows if you will secretly copy the book?" ”
"Brother Shen said with a smile, Xiao Sheng would never do such a thing." Xu Bowen really wants the original, but now that the books are in Shen Junchuan's hands, if he doesn't know one of them, he won't want to see the books in the future.
He never thought that the books in Lin Zhiyun's dowry would have been dropped a long time ago, just like the dowry that Lin Xiuyue sent to the Shen family. Could it be that Lin Zhiyun knew his mother's plan with the Lin family's Li Dai Taozhuang early on? Thinking of this, Xu Bowen couldn't help but glance at Lin Zhiyun.
Lin Zhiyun didn't bother to look at him, and only said to Shen Junchuan: "You are still lame now, you can't run to Xiaohe Village every day for an irrelevant person, right?" Yao'er is almost at the age of saying goodbye, and it is not appropriate for Xu Xiucai and a foreign man to come to our house every day. ”
Shen Junchuan felt that what Lin Zhiyun said was very reasonable, so he said angrily to Xu Bowen: "Since my daughter-in-law has said so, then so be it, I only have a transcript here, do you want to love it!" Anyway, in front of everyone's eyes, I did leave that box of books to you, if you have any dissatisfaction, just tell people that those books are all Wushan clouds and rain to avoid the fire. Those are my treasures over the years, and they are cheaper for you. ”
Xu Bo's face turned red when he heard this, he naturally opened the books and found that there was something wrong with those books, not to mention that men and women were cloudy and rainy, and there was even a habit of broken sleeves and a good way to grind mirrors. But even if it was just a quick glance, those things lingered in his mind, and in the end, he read a fragrant novel, and there were a lot more tricks when he slept with Lin Xiuyue at night, so he had a very happy three days.
But it is good for a scholar to have the best face, and everyone knows this kind of thing, but Shen Junchuan said it in public, is this to embarrass him? And since Shen Junchuan knew what books had been exchanged in that box, could it be that he and Lin Zhiyun had privately taught each other before?
"Brother Shen knows what kind of book is there, could it be that you have ...... with Second Miss Lin before."
Shen Junchuan interrupted him in time: "I also learned about the plans of the Xu family and the Lin family by chance, and I thought that Mr. Lin was not worth it, so I secretly changed those books." If the bride doesn't change on the wedding day, I should return the books, and if I change Brother Xu's book, there is no reason to occupy those books. One day as a teacher and a lifelong father, I have been guided by Mr. Lin for a few years, and I have the heart to repay my kindness, and I think Brother Xu should be able to understand. ”
The last sentence was ironic, Xu Bowen knew that Shen Junchuan was accusing him of being ungrateful. But for Shen Junchuan, repaying the favor is just finding someone to exchange books and trick him, but for him, he has to lose his life. He reads well and is expected to get ahead, so he naturally wants to marry a girl who can help him. Even though Lin Zhiyun is the daughter of a benefactor, she is of no use to him, so she is willing to marry a gangster like Shen Junchuan who is greedy for beauty.
Xu Bowen was about to refute something, but Lin Zhiyun spoke before him.
"Is there any master in the academy in the town who can be trusted?" Lin Zhiyun asked.
Shen Junchuan thought for a while and said, "The Du Fuzi who taught Brother Xu is very good, well-read and square. ”
Lin Zhiyun nodded and said: "In that case, when the minister copies the book in the future, he will copy two copies, and take the original to Du Fuzi for Du Fuzi to personally see it, and after Du Fuzi checks that it is correct, one will be given to Du Fuzi and one will be given to Xu Xiucai, so that Xu Xiucai should be at ease, right?" ”
Although Xu Bowen was not happy, he also trusted Du Fuzi in his heart: "If Du Fuzi personally checks, there will be no mistakes." ”
"Since that's the case, Xu Xiucai will go back first, and copy the book and send it every five days." Lin Zhiyun hurriedly sent off the guests.
Xu Bo was very dissatisfied when he heard that Lin Zhiyun looked like he was avoiding him, but he had always loved face, and since people didn't want to see him anymore, he naturally wouldn't stay longer, so he took Lin Xiuyue home. Lin Xiuyue was very unwilling, because she hadn't tossed Lin Zhiyun's hand yet. However, in front of Xu Bowen, she couldn't expose too much, so she had to give up.
After everyone left, Shen Junchuan turned his head and said strangely: "Du Fuzi is a very talkative person, just copy one copy and give it to Xu Bowen, why do you want me to copy another copy and give it to Du Fuzi?" ”
