Chapter 180
Qian's mind moved slightly, and the Wang family on the side also hurriedly persuaded him when he saw this. Compared with Lin Baoru's words, her sister-in-law, who is used to having no opinions, said so, which shows that this matter is indeed worth it.
So, in the end, Qian answered, but she was not willing to let her niece bear the shackles of her son, and only said that she and Wang Shulin's wages would be used to resist the shackles when the time came.
After talking about this matter, the next thing is the day when Lin Baoru is ready to get married with peace of mind.
Because of the lack of her as the main force, the manpower of the workshop began to be strained again. There was no way, Qian simply sent a letter to his boss to come over, he couldn't do anything else, at least he could move things around the cubicle room, and help with the packaging.
The Qian family wanted the eldest daughter-in-law to come together, but he was worried about Qingqing's heavy body, and he had to leave a woman who could take care of him.
However, Xu Qingqing was worried about things in her heart, and when she saw that they all went to the Lin family's workshop, she naturally had some indescribable feelings in her heart. In the end, she said to Wang Huzi that she was in a bad mood at home, so it was better to go to her aunt's house for a few days while she could still move, even if she couldn't help with the work, she could always help her sister-in-law take care of the child.
Wang Huzi was a little reluctant to let her toss, but seeing that she was in a low mood every day, she didn't even want to swallow her food, so she was anxious, and finally had to respond.
However, on the way to Taoxi Village, Wang Huzi also put a layer of cotton bedding on the board of the hired car, for fear of upside down his daughter-in-law. Such caution made Xu Qingqing feel more and more ashamed.
After arriving in Taoxi Village, Xu Qingqing still failed to enter the workshop. After all, everyone values her body more than work.
However, because she is not an outsider, Lin Baoru never hid it from her when she talked about the workshop. Even the spices and honey locusts sent by the Liu family, she can remember a lot.
Sometimes she asks a few words, and the defenseless Wang and Cairu will also tell her. After going back and forth like this, Xu Qingqing really figured out the means of making soap cubes for her cousin-in-law.
Just entered July, Xu Qingqing only felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and after the doctor who helped Lin Laohan find in the second room saw it, he said that her baby was a little big, and she was afraid that it would not be easy to give birth when she was born. So, let a few people take turns to walk around with her more.
In this way, the Qian family naturally did not dare to delay, and every day they got up early before the sun was hot, and urged Wang Huzi to accompany Xu Qingqing to walk around the courtyard. Later, it was Wang Huzi who took turns to accompany her, and the Qian family was mainly in charge of cooking for the family every day.
Thanks to the soap cubes in early July that were rushed out of the workshop early, otherwise I am afraid that Lin Baoru would not even have time to prepare for family affairs.
On the fifth day of the seventh month, in the courtyard of the second room of the Lin family, which had been silent for a long time, there were a few living people. There are also two of those people who are wearing official clothes, which makes many people in Taoxi Village muttering around the door of the second room.
Isn't there a lawsuit caused by the second room! Or do you offend someone?
It's not like it, although those people look cold, they are very well-behaved when they enter the courtyard, but they are not angry.
Anyway, there was a lot of speculation out there for a while. Naturally, Shishi, who was running and playing in the street, saw this posture and hurriedly ran home to find his own adult.
Li Zheng got the letter, and he hurried to the second room without a moment's delay. On the same page, he almost thought about his head, and he didn't think of what kind of trouble Baoru could cause to the official family, and the worthy yamen came to have several people with swords.
If he wants to say that he is here to find fault, he is not afraid.
But if the government comes to take people, then even if he is a lizheng, I am afraid that there is no way.
When someone came into the courtyard, they saw a little girl who was mindful and reciting words, and was playing with stones in the courtyard with a child who had just run back, and a smaller child was lying on the ground with futons on the side.
The person in the red uniform at the head listened to a few words, and the more he listened, the more strange he became, what one by one got one, one two got two, three fifty-five, it was really interesting and tight.
Therefore, he didn't interrupt for a while, but secretly pondered the meaning of these smooth words in his heart.
However, the person behind him who was wearing a cyan official clothes spoke first to ask Lin Caihe, "Doll, where is your adult?" ”
Lin Caihe tilted his head and saw a group of living people entering the door, and immediately stood up with a blink.
She was not afraid of this group of people, so she said in a crisp voice: "My mother and my eldest sister are both working in the workshop." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect a little girl to be so generous, and she didn't know that she was afraid of people at all. Earlier, when he went from the capital to check the accounts of various shops, he also saw many children, but most of them were either shy or nervous, especially after seeing the two officials with knives behind him, he was even more afraid.
But before he could speak again, he heard the person in front of him answer, "Then I wonder if my little sister can take us over?" ”
Lin Caihe shook his head and simply refused: "The eldest sister said that outsiders are strictly forbidden to enter and exit the workshop. After a pause, she emphasized, "There is a big wolf dog in front of the door, and if you have to go in, you will have to bite it." ”
When the man heard this, he chuckled, but he was not angry, and only said patiently: "Then why don't you help us pass on a message, just say that someone from the yamen wants to ask her about plundering?" ”
Lin Caihe saw that this person was listening well and didn't have any arrogance, so he nodded happily, and then went to hug Xiaobao, and was about to go out while holding Xiaoshan's hand.
But the man, seeing her slow with a little turnip, suggested, "If I help you lead the two children, you can walk faster." ”
How do you know that Lin Caihe didn't appreciate it, and pouted directly: "Bad people are so coaxing children, and stealing children's flowers will also pretend to be a good person and coax children to sell!" "Qiqi Chinese Network
She said so eloquently that the man began to have some self-doubt.
Him: "......"
Officer: "......"
Could it be that they are wearing fake official clothes?
Lin Caihe didn't care what they thought, and took the two little ones to the front of the workshop to call their eldest sister in a hurry.
Wang and Lin Baoru heard the movement and hurriedly left the workshop. Of course, the Qian family, who was not at ease, also came out with his man and the eldest couple.
As soon as they entered the front yard, they saw four or five officials with strong physiques standing behind a young man in regular clothes. The young man was looking at the courtyard with his back to the door, but looking at it from behind, that person was quite magnanimous, at least not comparable to those people Lin Baoru had seen in the yamen before.
Lin Baoru glanced at her mother-in-law, and saw that she was also frowning and puzzled, but there was no sign of fear, so she was a little relieved.
When a few people entered the courtyard, Lin Baoru did not salute directly, but asked quite generously: "I don't know how many distinguished guests, what is the matter with coming in?" ”
Hearing someone speak, those few people turned around, and several officials automatically took a few steps back in a very regular manner. In this way, the appearance of the young man was revealed.
But in all fairness, when that appearance fell in Lin Baoru's eyes, it still made her sigh slightly in her heart. This person really has a good skin, and when she looked at Liu Shu in front of her, she felt that although that person was a little squirrel, and he was full of ruffianism, but in fact, his face was handsome.
But when she saw the person in front of her, Lin Baoru felt that she was probably lame at the beginning.
When the man saw Lin Baoru, he seemed a little surprised, and it was just an ordinary-looking girl in front of him.
His eyes flashed, he bowed slightly, and asked politely, "You are the eldest daughter of the second room of the Lin family?" ”
Lin Baoru nodded, and was not restrained, and directly took her mother-in-law and Qian's arms into the courtyard. Then, she calmly went to carry a few stools out, and beckoned Cairu to help her move out the small table in the stove room.
"If you are not in a hurry, it is better to sit down and rest for a while, and drink mung bean soup on a hot day to relieve the heat." As she was talking, Caihe had already brought out the mung bean soup, of course, it was also boiled out at that time, and it was iced into the water tank by Caihe. It's cold and comfortable to touch at this time.
The man at the head saw that her movements were smooth, and he was not in a trance at all, and he was more and more surprised.
However, one of the officials beside him had a somewhat unkind face, and even the hand holding the saber was a little impatient.
But just when he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, his master actually sat on the bench that was not very strong, and took a sip of the mung bean soup without hesitation.
"It tastes good, it's just too sweet......" The man pursed his lips, obviously disgusted by the sweetness.
Lin Baoru said with a smile: "Our farmers think that sugar is a good object, and we will put some on weekdays when we are really tired from work, but I feel that the days can be sweetened after tasting it." ”
The man blinked, apparently hearing this for the first time. He was noncommittal, but apparently the bowl of mung bean soup was completely disgusted by him, and he never touched it again after taking a bite.
"Childe came today to inquire about the plunder?" Lin Baoru didn't want to delay time, after all, her mother and Cairu couldn't grasp the vacuum of the can during filling.
This is very important, but if the air in the jar is not clean, the rose water in it will easily spoil. In such a hot weather, let alone three or five days, I am afraid that the water will breed bacteria for two days.
Therefore, when she saw that the man was slow to speak, she simply opened her mouth first.
The man nodded, and asked with interest: "The plunder was handed to the yamen along with the drawings you made, and it happened that I was in the state capital to discuss matters at that time. Later, I was also close to the water, and I relied on some friendship between my ancestors and the prefect to get the drawings. ”
This can be regarded as explaining his origin, and it can be regarded as explaining why there are two saber officials behind him. Probably, it was also some reliance behind him, which made Lord Yamen take a high look at his safety.
But those, for Lin Baoru, did not make her cautious. If it was said that what made her heart suddenly nervous was the next few seemingly random words of the son.
"Two days ago, the people at the lower level of the messenger carefully studied it, and it was very useful for harvesting wheat. But I'm curious, how could you come up with such a thing! ”
This seems to be said casually, but in fact, it is obvious that this person does not believe that the drawings were drawn by Lin Baoru. He even suspected that there must be some master behind Lin Baoru, at least that person should be very good at this novel tool.
So, he's tempting now.
After all, Lin Baoru is a person who has lived two lives, and he was not a simple and ignorant person in his previous life. So just two sentences, she could hear the meaning of the words of the person in front of her.
Her heart sank slightly, and then she seemed to be unconcerned, lowered her eyes and smiled: "At first glance, Gongzi is not a person who often walks in the countryside, for us, what is important is not what matters, the important thing is to be able to help us do the work." ”
"My family doesn't have any hope, even if they go to the field to harvest wheat, they also have to go into battle with the whole family," said, Lin Baoru pointed to the lotus picking behind him who led the hill, "My little sister and little brother also followed to the field, and the children who were only old didn't dare to cry when they were blushed, for fear of disturbing us to cut wheat." At that time, I wished that my arms would grow longer, and that I could hold a few more rows of wheat in one handful, so that the harvest would be completed sooner, and the two younger ones would suffer less for a while. ”
