Chapter 164: Resentment
How could Lin Liang know that this little young master was going to find fault with himself again, last time it was the guys around him who were not using it well, and last time he took care of Wang Siming's inn a little more, but everything was really no different from the beginning.
The Lin family fled here from the south when the Ma family first got this tea mountain, and attached themselves to a local widow's family.
After two or three generations, on the contrary, the side line on this tea mountain has the best life, Lin Liang's uncle in the next room is the last of this side line, and the children and grandchildren have some capital and go to open a small shop outside.
Lin Liang grew up in the township, when he was six or seven years old, he followed his father to the field to plant seedlings, and when he was nine years old, he learned some words with Lao Xiu next door, and was sent to his uncle to learn some things about the tea mountain.
was born a little smart, and Lin Liang is exceptionally good at pleasing people, but after four or five years, he has become a new favorite on the tea mountain, and he likes the old man and gets along with the guys.
Lin Liang, who had a smooth ride a few years ago, bought a small house with the support of his uncle, brought his father from the countryside to live in the city, and became engaged to the girl next door in the countryside.
Seeing that life was going on so smoothly, Lin Liang suffered the first time in his life, but the five-year-old young master actually said that he didn't look like a good person, and asked another inconspicuous guy to take care of him.
At this point, Lin Liang and the little young master formed a bond, and as long as he had free time, he quietly went to the house in the north of the city to see him. Seeing him wrestling, seeing him sick, seeing that he was not doing well, as long as he was not happy, he was always in good spirits for a few days.
But, even this thing slowly lost its fun, when he was sick, like a seedling in the field, as soon as the wind blew, he bent down, and the nearby doctor had no idea, so he could only feed bowls of potion into his mouth.
I don't know where I heard the news, saying that there is a medicine in the capital that can cure the disease brought by the mother's womb. After several struggles, taking advantage of the tea harvest season, Lin Liang bet on the title deed in the pawnshop and went to the capital to ask for medicine.
When it snowed heavily, Lin Liang came back from the capital in embarrassment, his clothes were in tatters, and he was so hungry that he lost his shape, and he fell in front of his house, and his father, who was still up at night to pour urinals, found it by chance, took him home, and slept a little.
Lin Liang didn't like to be an incognito hero, but he didn't want anyone to know about this matter, so he used some means to quietly send this medicine into the little master's mouth.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if the medicine has worked, at the beginning of spring, the little master's illness can be separated from the medicine, and the complexion of an ordinary child is no different.
It's just that Lin Liang himself was not so lucky, and the matter of staking the title deed in the pawnshop was soon exposed, but the profit was not returned for a month, and the shopkeeper of the pawnshop called a bunch of people to collect his house, and in the end, his uncle paid for it.
The so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, this secretly took the family's house as a thing, and disappeared for more than half a year, and soon spread out, saying that they were deceived by women, and there were also people who lived in Flower Street for a few months, anyway, what was passed on was not a serious matter.
Although he thinks he is not a good person, this matter is very wronged, and Lin Liang does not intend to explain, let that matter ferment, and even add fuel to the fire, giving those people more handles to chew on.
Later, it was much easier to say, the daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door in the countryside could not be married, and the work on the tea mountain was slowly replaced, and he was completely driven to the tea shop to run the hall in an incident.
The downhill road in life is always more difficult than the uphill road, but Lin Liang feels that this is what he deserves.
Lin Liang originally wanted to live in the tea shop for the rest of his life, tying his life far away to the Ma family, and at the banquet at the end of the year, he hid in the corner of the seat and looked at the healthy young master. But at the tea party this year, the master came to him again and asked him to go back to work.
In the end, it is different from before, the five-year-old young master has grown to be taller than himself, and he is a young man, and he has a clear love and hate. Regardless of the others, Lin Liang couldn't get along with the little young master the most, every time as long as he was by his side, even a sigh could make him nervous, thinking that when he first met, the naughty boy grinned at himself. Life is really ten years old!
"Fourth Uncle and his family took the initiative to halve the profit and silver this year, what did you do behind the scenes?"
"I don't know." Lao Xiucai once said that thirty-six strategies, hiding is the best policy, and Lin Liang can't deal with the people, so he bites his mouth to death and doesn't open it.
"Because of what?" Pinyuan didn't care about him, and continued to ask, seeing that no one agreed, he asked again, "Something to do with Tong Chunsheng?" ”
Lin Liang shook his head.
"Tea merchants?"
Lin Liang shook his head again.
"Three..."
Before Pinyuan could speak, Lin Liang couldn't help it, begging for mercy and saying, "Little master, you should ask the master about this matter." ”
"Don't say it! Do you really think I don't know anything, the fourth uncle has never been in this mess, only a baby daughter is in pain in the palm of her hand, although I don't know how you are fighting behind your back, but this result makes it clear what is going on. "Seeing that this person doesn't say anything, he doesn't bother to bother to talk anymore, but these things can't be done, several families can't get along with each other, and they don't do much behind their backs.
This was originally not a serious matter, but Pinyuan came to him for other things, and his father hid everything from him, but he couldn't help but share his worries and solve problems, and care more about the situation at home.
"Have you agreed on which ones to visit for next year's tea?" Pin Yuan asked.
Lin Liang was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, even if this matter can't be covered by paper, sooner or later everyone will know, but this little young master doesn't know what's wrong today, and if he doesn't discuss with his father about everything, he will embarrass me.
It's just that I have been confused about one thing just now, and I have been confused about this matter again, but I am afraid that the little young master will be disgusted with him again in the future, so I will not use it again. Lin Liang, who was already a little shorter than Pinyuan, lowered his head, looking even shorter, his eyes kept turning, and after a long time, he finally sighed, pulled his sleeves, gritted his teeth and said, "Little master, I told you about this, don't mention it to the master, it's not easy for our people to earn a few lucky silver a year." ”
"This is natural, if you tell the truth, I will not do you any wrong." Since Ken said, then everything is easy to do, Pinyuan got up from the recliner, walked to the table, turned the teacup over, added some tea, washed hot water, and asked Lin Liang to come over, sat down and drank tea.
Where did Lin Liang dare to sit, and hurriedly excused himself, "There are still some things in the house waiting for me to do, so I won't need the young master's tea." Although the matter of looking for a tea merchant next year is big, it is only a few words, the lord asked me to find it, it is the tea merchant in Ningzhou City, there have been some contacts in previous years, last year in order to avoid suspicion, did not go to the success, this year there are not so many scruples. ”
"Ningzhou..." Pinyuan muttered in a low voice, and his hand stopped, and after a while, he raised his head and said with a smile, "What do you think if I say I'll go with you next year?" ”
What a young master who doesn't know how difficult the world is! Leng Buding's words made Lin Liang's heart go up and down, he knew that he really shouldn't have revealed this matter to him in order to please him, so that he had this thought, and the master knew it, so he had to break his leg.
"Young master, just let me do these things, these years are not as peaceful as before, although Ningzhou is far away from the border, but there are bandits on the road, and the most common thing to stare at is our business."
"I naturally know these things, the businessmen who come and go every year can not go out, and you will scare the children when you say this, the most important thing is how to convince my father, what can you do?" Pinyuan was excited, and asked again.
Lin Liang finally raised his head, with a flushed face, stalked his neck, and said, "I don't, if the young master insists on going, then let me go to the old master to resign and go back to the countryside." ”
Threat? Not at all, Lin Liang knows what kind of status he is, and it would be a good thing if he could leave by himself. But the danger outside, I have tasted it, the familiar faces on the road are easy to walk, and this kind of young master who looks like a raw face is the best to start, not to mention the vicious bandits and robbers, and some good-looking shops also come to deceive you.
It's just that what Lin Liang didn't expect was that the young master, who had never liked him, was willing to take a step back, as if there was no such thing, and said jokingly, "I'm just joking, why are you still serious." ”
This is not true, even if it is really as the young master said, this is a joke on a whim, Lin Liang has to continue this and seriously think about the meaning of this word.
When people are young, they always have the urge to go out to play, or they can't stay at home, or they want to sprinkle their blood all over the world, Lin Liang is not unable to understand the mood of the little master who wants to go out, but he can't help worrying, if there are three long and two short outside, how can he still live in this life.
"This joke is not funny, the young master himself understands in his heart that the master is your own flesh and blood, and he has protected him well for so many years, not to let you go out and run things like us."
Yes! As soon as the words came out, Lin Liang regretted it, he was not likable in the first place, but he had to make inches and teach people a lesson. I'm afraid that the little goodwill that I have just accumulated will be wiped out.
Sure enough, I saw that the little young master put the cup in his hand on the table, and the corners of his mouth collapsed, and he didn't look at himself, and said coldly, "Go and do your business." ”
"Well..."
just had this one more sentence, Lin Liang really wanted to slap himself a few times, it was a relationship that didn't work for anything, and he was self-righteous to say that one more sentence and ask for such a sentence.
Lin Liang, who went out, didn't have much heart to arrange the things for tomorrow, and after handing them over to others to get them, he called a young man next to Pinyuan over, explained a few words, and then hurried to Chashan.
