After resting for a few days, Lin Wenhai recuperated enough to go to his mother's yard, he originally thought that he would be scolded severely if he didn't come back for so long, but he didn't expect his mother's first words when she saw him was: "Since Xiaobai and Wenjuan's heart knot has been opened, you can take Xiaobai into the house to live for a few days, your sister's health is not good, and there is no one around who can speak." ”

Lin Wenhai smiled, sat down next to Lin Zhang's, put the half-embroidered silk handkerchief in her hand back into the sewing basket, and said, "My son hasn't come back for so long, and my mother doesn't ask me if I'm suffering outside, why do I only care about Wenjuan?" The three girls around her can all speak well, why don't they have a talking partner? ”

"Mother doesn't ask you, she naturally knows that you are all right!" Lin Zhang let Guo'er serve hot tea and said with a smile: "Your father will tell us your news every day, you are measured, what is there to worry about?" But your sister went to Xiyue City, but it was like leaving half of the people there, and she didn't have any energy all day. Although Ah Yun and the others have followed since childhood, they are girls after all, what can they say? is not as good as Xiaobai, Wen Juan likes her, her temperament is refreshing, I don't know how many times stronger than those girls at home! ”

"It seems that Mother intends to bring her cousins to the house?" Lin Wenhai frowned.

Lin Zhangshi covered her mouth and smiled, she naturally knew what Lin Wenhai was worried about, "I thought about it, your grandmother also meant this, even if it wasn't them, there was still a girl, it was also to make the house lively, maybe Wenjuan could still be happy, but then your grandmother said that it was not as good as you wanted to call them here, it is better to let your sister nest in the room and not come out!" ”

Lin Wenhai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I will talk to Xiaobai, but she may not be free, there are many merchants on the official road recently, and she is also very busy welcoming guests." ”

"I persuaded her to buy a few people and put them away, this girl is just disobedient! It's really at the juncture, where is she enough alone! Lin Zhang sighed, suddenly looked at Lin Wenhai, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Since you are back, presumably the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are over, right?" I heard you've been honored? Why don't you tell your mother? ”

Lin Wenhai smiled and said: "Although my name is written on the list, it is actually a reward for the Huixian Chamber of Commerce, and the list has also been submitted, don't say that, I guess the Lord Qincha has already seen it at this time." ”

"Who the hell is this Chincha?"

It's no wonder that Lin Zhang's curiosity, it is really that this minister of the Qincha went out of the city from the emperor's decree to the order, and the speed was unexpected, and even if someone wanted to inquire about the news, the palace was also at a loss, except for the emperor himself, I am afraid that he could see the Haixing Garrison Mansion of the Qincha for the first time, but unfortunately Lin Wenhai traveled to Haixing for many days, and he did not hear that the Haixing Garrison Mansion had a Qincha coming.

"I'm afraid that Haixing guards himself and doesn't know."

Lin Zhang was surprised: "It's all this time, and it hasn't appeared yet?" Could it be that as your father guessed, there is no such thing at all? ”

Lin Wenhai shook his head, thinking that it was true that the emperor had other plans, and what he was most concerned about at the moment was in his father's heart, whether Wang Yanlin, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, was worthy of his trust, after this incident, he also understood that everything is true by himself.

It's just that the few letters sent out before made him a little worried, Mrs. Shang is still the Wang family after all, so it is reasonable to ignore herself, but why did the merchants who complained about donating food and money before have changed their attitude towards him, he just wrote to inform the Chamber of Commerce of the commendation, and he didn't expect them to reply at all, "Mother, during my absence, Uncle Wang has come to the house?" ”

Lin Zhang was stunned for a moment, it seems that what she was worried about finally came, the Lin family is not a real businessman, and they are friendly with the Wang family, but Lin Dongyue had to sit in the position of county magistrate back then.

Lin Wenhai could clearly feel that Lin Zhang's family didn't want to talk more about the Wang family, thinking that he was still expecting Wang Yanlin to take care of himself, so he smiled and whispered: "I remember that in the past few years, especially when Mr. Wang married a girl from a businessman, the relationship between Uncle Wang and his father has become closer, why?" I've been wondering if my father finally gave up his arrogance to make the Lin family what it is today. ”

"I've known each other for so many years, and everyone just takes what they need, so I can't talk about who gives up what? Besides, you have today by your own efforts, everyone sees it! No one can say anything bad! Lin Zhang got up, pressed Lin Wenhai's words back, and said with a smile: "Go to your grandmother's place to eat at noon, haven't you talked to Wen Juan in the past few days since you came back?" She is your own sister, you should care more about her, Chen Heng's child has also been back for a few days, why didn't he come to visit your father? What interesting things happened at the Spring Festival party, you should also talk to us. ”

"There is only one widow in his family, and I am afraid that he is doing his filial piety by his side at this time, and the old lady is most willing to take him out to show off, and he has no time to come to our house in ten days and half a month."

saw Lin Zhang's frown slightly and said: "I don't like this the most, but who told your father that he likes Chen Heng's child, is he so good at reading?" I don't think I'm half a point away. ”

"Mother, don't worry, with me, Wenjuan will definitely not be wronged. Later, I asked Wen Yingge to send a table of noodles to my grandmother, although there was no Chen Heng, didn't Wen Juan also participate in the Spring Festival party? Tell her to tell us about it, anyway, today is very free, and this meal can be eaten until tomorrow morning. ”

"What nonsense! Just eat at this table for a day? Lin Zhang suddenly smiled.

"I know my mother and grandmother also like Barilla snacks, so let them pick some and send them over."

"What your grandmother really wants to eat, but it's the food that Xiaobai cooks!"

Lin Wenhai sighed and said with a smile: "That grandmother is going to be disappointed, it's only seventeen today, and Xiaobai is in the middle of the earth." ”

"This girl...

"By the way, where did my dad go? I didn't see anyone early in the morning. ”

Lin Zhang sighed and said: "It has been raining heavily in the past two days, and the ground has collapsed again, blocking half of the official road. ”

Lin Wenhai frowned slightly, thinking about Xiaobai in his heart, let's ask someone to take a look.

.....

The Wang family

The door curtain moved, Shang Ting stuffed the letter in her hand into the book at hand, picked up the needle and thread on the side, and absentmindedly embroidered a crooked plum blossom.

Xiyuan put a cup of tea outside and whispered: "Madame is right not to reply to Young Master Lin's letter, don't feel sorry, the eldest master and the young master have already said that Madame is going to collect donations on behalf of the Wang family, and it has nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Shang Ting was distracted, and was pricked by a needle in her hand without noticing, and a drop of blood was printed on the bright red silk thread of the plum blossom, she didn't feel pain, she threw the needle and thread into the frame irritably, got up and went outside. Although Lin Wenhai's letter was not hidden, it was indeed handed over to her by Xiliang himself, and she did not tell Xiyuan, and now the entire Wang family knows about it.

"Madame, come and taste it, this is a new tea sent by the eldest master."

Shang Ting walked to the door and said softly: "In the future, whether it is the eldest master or the young master, you can take it." ”

"Ma'am?"

"You are the big girl next to me, naturally you should be different from the girl next to you, in the future, you will also take care of Aunt Mei in the affairs of the outer courtyard, she is old, and she should enjoy happiness."

Xiyuan was happy when she heard it, and she was able to manage the affairs of the outer courtyard, and she was the most trustworthy person beside her wife, not only that, but she could also freely enter and leave the entire Wang family without anyone's permission.

"Go ahead, Aunt Mei should be waiting for you now." Shang Ting turned her back to Xiyuan, and her heart was cold.

Xiyuan ran out happily, not paying attention to Shang Ting's strange appearance at all.
