Lin Mei brought a big bowl of corn paste, and a bowl of rabbit broth into Daddy Lin's side room, the earthen kang, the wooden beams, the wooden lattice window pasted with window paper, the standard farmhouse, Daddy Lin lay on the kang with his eyes closed to recuperate, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and saw that it was Meizi who came in with a bowl and chopsticks, and knew that it was time for dinner.

"Daddy, it's time to eat."

Lin Mei put the dishes and chopsticks next to the earthen kang on the small table, and went to help Lin Daddy get up and sit up against the wall to eat.

Father Lin faced this filial eldest daughter, thinking about the previous marriage with the Liu family, causing Lin Mei to jump into the river, people are fine now, what can I do about marriage, the woman who has withdrawn from the marriage has a bad reputation, it is difficult to find a better person, thinking about these bad things and sighing.

"Dad, are you uncomfortable? Do you want to get a doctor? Lin Mei asked nervously as she looked at Daddy Lin.

"Dad is fine, it's just that the bed I've been lying on for the past few days is a little stuffy."

"Dad, don't worry, the doctor said, as long as your legs are well maintained, you can grow well, don't worry about things at home, with me, I will go to the town in the afternoon to change some food and come back, there are still some rabbit skins stored at home before, I want to take them to the town to sell this time." Let's see if I can make some snacks to sell in the town, and I won't be hungry for my younger siblings. ”

"Don't worry about the silver, Meizi, take out the box in the cupboard." Father Lin pointed to the black pitch next to him in the big wooden cabinet.

Lin Mei opened the cabinet and took out an old wooden box with a lock, which seemed to be some years old, and put it on the table in front of Daddy Lin, Daddy Lin took out the key from under the pillow and handed it to Lin Mei, signaling Lin Mei to open the lock.

"Ah, Dad, how much silver is this." Lin Mei recognized that it was silver, but Lin Mei didn't know how much.

"At this time, a total of thirty taels of silver were broken silver, and another three hundred copper plates were hung, of which twenty taels were originally intended to buy you a dowry, your mother left early, and no one worried about this matter for you, so I never mentioned it to you, and now it seems that the marriage of the Liu family is not done, you tell your father, what do you think." Father Lin has also handed over the family foundation, and he also plans to explore the meaning of Meizi's tone.

"Don't mention it again after the marriage, the two families didn't make a marriage letter at the beginning, but only a verbal agreement, Liu Dawu also married a wife and had children, and I don't look crooked and cracked, I'm afraid that no one wants it." Lin Mei doesn't care about this at all now.

Then you jumped into the river in the first place...... Daddy Lin lingered in his heart, but he didn't dare to really say it.

Lin Mei saw that Father Lin was worried and said: "At that time, when Liu Dawu came back, I also listened to it for a while and didn't turn a corner, doing that foolish thing, now I have figured it out, I won't do such a foolish thing again, and it's not worth it again."

Daddy Lin was also down-to-earth when he heard it, even Liu Dawu was called, Meizi has always been Brother Dawu, Brother Dawu's call, and now he is even called with his surname, it is estimated that he really let go, at this point, Daddy Lin also knows Meizi very well, Meizi is usually a cheerful and neat character, to say that he really let go, that is, he really let go.

"Okay, the marriage is over, my daughter is so good-looking, after a while, I will go to Huang Matchmaker to help you find a family, I have to take care of my illness, and when I am ready, I have to earn a dowry for my daughter." Daddy Lin quipped.

"Meizi, you keep the key, this home will be in your charge in the future, the girl is older, and it is time to learn how to take care of the house. In the afternoon, I will go to the town to bring Shanzi with me, you go alone, I don't worry, let Shanzi help you take a hand. ”

"Then what should you do, Shanzi still has to take care of you......" Lin Mei hurriedly said.

"It's okay, I'll sleep for a while in the afternoon, it's okay to work all afternoon, you two brothers and sisters go back quickly, and let Peaches accompany me."

Lin Mei thought about it and felt that it was feasible, now that she has silver, but there is still a shortage of food at home, and Lin Mei is not familiar with the town, she can bring more food back with Shanzi, it is best to buy some vegetable seeds, and after a few days, turn over the vegetable field in the back house and plant some vegetables.

Lin Mei was also refreshed, and took a hang of three hundred wen from the wooden box, and the rest was still locked in the box and put in the cabinet. told Daddy Lin about his plan to buy vegetable seeds, and Daddy Lin also agreed and went out with chopsticks.

After Lin Mei instructed Peaches to take care of her father at home, she took Shanzi to Baishui Town with a basket containing porcupines and a few rabbits. Lin Mei is not familiar with the town, Shanzi has often followed Father Lin many times, and knows more about the town than Lin Mei, so she simply told Lin Mei about some of the situation in the town.

Baishui Town is very close to the city, the terrain is flat, the population lives more, there are three major families in the town: the Ning family, the Luo family, the Xiao family, among which the Xiao family is a famous scholarly family, I heard that a hundred years ago there was a noble concubine Niangniang, the Luo family is a rich landlord, half of the shops in the town are the Luo family, the Ning family is not bad, but compared with the previous two, the money is worse, but the Ning family's in-laws are in the city as the prefect.

When he arrived in the town, Shanzi took Lin Mei straight to Baiwei Building, this Baiwei Building is the Luo family's industry, because the price is fair, the demand for game meat is also relatively large, Daddy Lin often takes Shanzi here to sell wild things, and Shanzi is also familiar with the people of Baiwei Building.

"Yo, Shanzi, you haven't been here in a while, who is this?" The shopkeeper saw Shanzi with the young and beautiful girl still carrying the basket, and there were still goods in the basket.

Shanzi didn't want to talk too much with the shopkeeper, so he perfunctorily said that it was his own sister, so he asked if the shopkeeper was there.

The shopkeeper asked Shanzi to wait for a while, and then went to the back to ask the shopkeeper.

Lin Mei looked at this restaurant, because it had already passed the restaurant, there were not many customers in the store, only one table and three guests were drinking wine and eating food and chatting. The restaurant is quite tidy, a total of two floors, there are eight square tables on the first floor, the right side is the staircase on the second floor, the left is the counter, there is a two-meter-high wine cabinet behind the counter, there is also a statue of the God of Wealth above the wine cabinet, and a plate of pastries and a plate of fruit are placed on the table. There is a door in the wine cabinet, and the second child of the store entered through that door, and it is estimated that the back kitchen is there.

"Yo, Shanzi, why did you come alone today, where is your father?" I saw a big fat man wearing a soft-horned head, wearing a narrow-sleeved round-necked blue robe, a black leather belt around his waist, and black boots like a Maitreya Buddha smiling and watching Shanzi come over.

"Shopkeeper Tong is good, my father is sick, I came with my sister."

Lin Mei greeted the shopkeeper Tong, then removed the bamboo basket, lifted the hay and exposed the porcupine, "Shopkeeper Tong, you see if you can accept this." ”

"Yo, porcupine, you can catch this thing, yes, yes, someone from Gangluo Mansion will charter a two-table banquet, let me get some game, I'm worried about this matter, you guys will send it to help me solve a big problem."

"That dare is good, and it is also a blessing for the villain to be able to help the shopkeeper Tong." Lin Mei smiled and patted her ass, expecting Shopkeeper Tong to give a good price.

"Okay, just collect it at the usual price of roe deer, eighty wen a catty, this porcupine is estimated to be less than thirty catties, it will be calculated according to thirty catties, a total of two silver and four hundred wen, you are satisfied with this price Lin family girl."

Lin Mei didn't know much about the price, and when she saw Shanzi nodding to her with a smile, she knew that the price was good, so she hurriedly exaggerated the good man to the shopkeeper Tong.
