Chapter 35: The county lord comes to the door
Lin Jiujiu saw that Zhao Yan'er was asked by her and hung her head and didn't speak for a long time, so she was busy with her own affairs.
The decoration of the new store has begun, Lin Jiujiu drew the drawings early in the morning, and those workers were all found with the help of the shopkeeper of the cloth village, and they were honest and honest, and they did a very beautiful job.
Lin Jiujiu was very satisfied, she was not a stingy person, and now that the weather was hot, she would send some soup and water from time to time, and those workers worked harder.
In the past half month, everything that should be demolished has been demolished, and the walls have been almost painted. Just like the old shopkeeper said, the progress was indeed much faster than Lin Jiujiu imagined.
Lin Jiujiu sent some mung bean soup and snacks to the workers, and then turned around and went to Buzhuang.
During this time, because she came to Dongdajie diligently, she would go to Buzhuang whenever she had time to see the old shopkeeper, and learn from the shopkeeper by the way. Of course, every time I go, I am not empty-handed, and the things I bring are not some good tea, or some spices made by myself, all of which are made with heart, which makes the old shopkeeper love Lin Jiujiu even more, and I can't wait to teach him.
When Lin Jiujiu entered, the old shopkeeper was still busy. She sat on a chair on the side and drank melon seeds and tea, and waited for fewer people to take out the things in her arms and put them on the counter of the shopkeeper: "This is the incense I just made, which can help sleep and drive away mosquitoes when I sleep at night." ”
Summer is coming, and there are more mosquitoes and insects, and Lin Jiujiu's gift can be regarded as a gift to the heart of the old shopkeeper.
He said: "What are you doing so politely", he still took the things into his arms, and saw that Lin Jiujiu didn't speak for a long time, knowing that she had something to find herself, so he took her to the back hall.
"Tell me, little girl, what do you want me to help with today?"
The two got along warmly, and their titles changed.
Lin Jiujiu felt cordial every time she heard the old shopkeeper shout like this, and she didn't see it, and called the old shopkeeper with a big grin: "Old man Qi, I want to ask you something." You have been on this street for so many years, and you have met the wives and aunts of so many big officials, you should know a lot about the things in their mansion, right? ”
This gossip expression made the old shopkeeper laugh: "I know a lot, but I don't know which one you want to hear today?" ”
"Who else." Lin Jiujiu pouted, "It's the willow pearl that has been aimed at me twice in three days." ”
Speaking of willow pearls, it is a frequent visitor to the cloth village. Liu Zhengdao is an honest official on the surface, and indeed, compared to some huge corruption, he is very incorruptible. But after all, he is the prime minister of a country, and the news he can get is incomparable with other people.
In the information age, information is wealth, not to mention now, information is blocked, and a piece of useful information is simply worth more than gold.
Relying on useful information, Yoo Masang-do did make a lot of money. For example, for the expansion of East Street, he bought a lot of land in advance and sold it not long after.
If you buy and sell like this, your net worth is also very expensive.
Liu Zhengdao mainly values wealth and status, and he is not very keen on men and women. Everyone can put together a football team in their backyard, and there are only three or four aunts in his backyard.
Liu Pearl is Mrs. Liu's only daughter, so she is naturally more favored.
These news are actually of little value, but they are much stronger than Lin Jiujiu who doesn't know anything and has two eyes. At least she knew that Liu Zhengdao didn't have to have this daughter, after all, there were still a few concubines, and he didn't lack daughters who could hold the sky.
The girls who came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion were even concubines, and they were the sweets that outsiders competed for.
The old shopkeeper took a sip of tea, and talked about the secrets of Liufu, which is how powerful Mrs. Liu's methods are. Lin Jiujiu didn't think much of Liu Pearl after hearing it, this person's methods are like that, but Mrs. Liu is different, she is the winner of the backyard house, but it is not comparable to ordinary people.
"Thank you, old man Qi." Lin Jiujiu stood up, obviously feeling a little depressed.
The old shopkeeper saw that her state was a little wrong, so he stopped her: "What's wrong with you, you're downcast?" ”
Lin Jiujiu couldn't say that she was worried that Mrs. Liu would stumble on her, so she could only wave her hand.
The old shopkeeper watched Lin Jiujiu leave slowly, and then remembered that there was still something he hadn't said. By the time he chased him out, Lin Jiujiu would have disappeared for a long time.
The old shopkeeper stood in place and thought about it, and felt that he still had to tell Yu Wenhao about his conjectures. Yu Wenhao still sees Lin Jiujiu's thoughts clearly, the old shopkeeper, who has come over, if Lin Jiujiu is wronged, it will not be Yu Wenhao who will be distressed at that time.
Lin Jiujiu returned to Tianxiang Building, and saw a team of people at the door of Tianxiang Building. These people are uniformly dressed and look like government uniforms.
Although she has been here for a long time, she still doesn't know all the clothes of the government, and she doesn't know where she is for a while.
It happened that Zhao Yan'er walked out and saw Lin Jiujiu outside the crowd, so she hurriedly ran over and grabbed Lin Jiujiu's hand: "Girl, the county lord is here." ”
"County Lord?" Lin Jiujiu didn't understand who the county lord in Zhao Yan'er's mouth was for a while.
The rank of the county lord in the Daqing Dynasty is inferior to that of the princess, but because Gong Yichen has no daughter, and the first prince's heir is thin and has no daughter, the county lord naturally became the highest-ranking princess.
But there are also some county lords with foreign surnames, such as those who have been canonized by the emperor for their meritorious deeds.
Lin Jiujiu went to the two gatherings of the nobles and never saw a few county lords, also because their identities were different from those of the nobles who had no grade, and they usually didn't play together.
With curiosity, Lin Jiujiu entered Tianxiang Building, and at a glance saw the woman standing in the middle of the hall with her back to her.
The woman was wearing a purple gauze skirt and an eight-treasure gold step, and the woman's noble identity could be seen from the back alone.
Hearing the voice behind her, the woman turned around and looked at Lin Jiujiu who had just entered the door with disdain.
Almost at the same time, Lin Jiujiu felt the hostility of this county lord towards him. But Lin Jiujiu was sure that he had never seen this county lord.
"You are Lin Jiujiu?"
The county lord walked in front of Lin Jiujiu and looked at Lin Jiujiu domineeringly.
Lin Jiujiu looked at the county lord without humility or arrogance, and was not suppressed by the momentum of the county lord: "I don't know who the county lord is?" ”
Don't blame her, Lin Jiujiu really didn't recognize where this county lord was. There are more than a dozen young and old county lords in the Daqing Dynasty, and there are no photos here, she has never seen them, so she really can't recognize them.
But the county lord was obviously angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Jiujiu, you really don't know how to lift as rumored. Come on, smash this Tianxiang Building for me! ”
