Chapter 37: Preparations
On the North Street side, the execution was carried out on the fourth day of the first month of April, and Qiu, Zhou, and other cadres were beheaded in the vegetable market. The second room of North Street hurriedly sent someone to bring the book of retirement back, it turned out that Lin Ruquan wanted to rush before the Da Zhou clan was beheaded and abandon it, who knew that it was not too late, but the elders of the Lin family had already given the Da Zhou family out of the house when they were Hugh Qiu.
What Lin Ruquan did was just useless.
Later, Lin Ruquan asked people to send a few large cars of gifts to the Lin family on South Street, and the car came with a particularly experienced grandmother, who asked the Jia family to say goodbye, and said, "The second master said that he has been out all these years, and the affairs of the family have not been able to make a force, thanks to the help of the third master, who would have thought that the family of flesh and blood, the Da Zhou family would be able to do such a thing as good as a beast." Just think about it, you can't even sleep at night. ”
"Fortunately, the third wife is blessed, and now there is this brother and sister under his knees, otherwise, he will lose his life, and what is it? These gifts are not enough, and they don't ask the third master and the third wife to be alone, but the two can understand the innocence of the child, do not implicate the future generations, and do not let the children end up without a clan to rely on, it is a great mercy! ”
This time, if it weren't for Lin Rujiang jumping up and down, and running to the door of Lin's house on South Street three times and twice to make trouble, he would not have been dismissed, so that he would reflect at home, as for when to reflect, it depends on the mood of the principals of the ministry.
Lin Ruquan is a small county prince, and he is not in Beijing all the year round, except for the Fan family and the Da Zhou family, almost no one can afford it. Lin Rusheng is a concubine, and he didn't crawl out of Fan's stomach, and he has always been interested in Lin Ruhai, so naturally he can't be implicated.
Jia Shi asked, "Your master has been away all these years, but he is okay?" Although it is a family of flesh and blood, this mountain is high and long, and it is rare to get greetings during the New Year's holidays, I heard that there is another brother over there, how old is it now? ”
"It's my aunt who is in charge of the house over there!" This grandmother is a personal essence, seeing that the style of Jia's body is different from what she usually sees, and the ornaments in this room are all unseen, I have heard that the wife of the third room is Miss Yan from the Guogong Mansion, this time she actually removed two thorns in the eyes of her master in one go, so she had a heart, "My brother is two years old, and he was born very well, like the master, and he said that he will also be a reading seed in the future." ”
"This is a little older than our brother, how can our brother be the eldest in this clan!" Jia Shi smiled and said to Lin Gui's family.
"What are you afraid of, it says that the grandfather in the cradle, the grandson on crutches, our brother will read well in the future, and he will not bend down when he is not afraid of people." Lin Guijia said with a smile, "In this clan, the second master is still blessed, there are already Brother Ting and Brother Bi here, and now your aunt has added a small one, I don't know how lively it will be in the future." You are far away, I don't know, the two here, although they are younger, are also capable, and adults are generally assertive when they speak and act. ”
Jia Shi smiled but did not speak, only looked down at the newly dyed dankou in his hand.
The grandmother was silent for a while, and then said, "This is also the first to teach well, no matter what, there will naturally be a lady behind to teach it well." It's the brother in the house, it's really good, the second master said at home on weekdays, I haven't seen anyone who can read more than our family Tanhua master, and in the future, the brother in this house must also want a champion to explore the flowers, and the wife just sits and waits to enjoy the happiness. ”
Seeing that she could speak, Jia Shi was much kinder in her face, so she first asked someone to prepare a table of noodles, and let Lin Gui's family accompany her to eat, and then talked to this grandmother, and asked about the aunt over there, and then asked someone to send her out.
Looking back, Jia Shi thought that Lin Ruhai had been so busy these days, and he had been worrying about the affairs of salt politics, and said to Lin Gui's family, "Our family doesn't know what to do now, and the master doesn't know what to do. ”
Lin Guijia thought for a while, "No matter what, always send someone to take a trip, look at the door first, if there is a grace to come down, let's follow this plan, if there is no grace, we should also go to see the world, to see what good business there is?" ”
Jia's heart was moved, and he discussed it with Lin Ruhai in the evening, and on the second day, he was in full swing and asked Lin Lu to bring people and silver, and go to the south to see how the ancestral business was.
For so many years, no one has lived there, and if there is a dilapidated place, it must be repaired first.
Daiyu was a little anxious, she had the heart to let her brother go with her, for Yinglian. She really couldn't see Zhen Shiyin having a good home, just for the nonsense of the words, the family was scattered, and finally explained a nonsense of "In the end, make wedding clothes for others", robbed the lame Taoist man's rags, and followed him out of the house, leaving behind the abducted daughter, the helpless mother-in-law, and fulfilled the merit of the monk.
But now, what should she do?
If she told her mother to ask Lin Lu to take her brother to the south, the Jia family would definitely be unkind to Mama Wang, thinking that Mama Wang had instigated her to intercede. It was a must, Daiyu had no choice but to say to Qingxu, "Now that the opportunity is very good, hasn't Mama Wang always wanted to get a job for Brother Wang Xie?" There's one right in front of you, so what are you waiting for? ”
Puzzled, Daiyu said, "In the past two days, I have been having a dream, in which the first girl who was three or four years older than me was abducted and trafficked by a kidnapper, with a name and a surname, and called me for help in my dream every day, do you think this is a strange thing?" ”
Qingxu understood as soon as he heard it, "If Wang Xie goes, he can also help the girl inquire about this matter, and he is a person who can read and write, so if there is such a thing, he can tell the girl what is going on?" ”
"That's what I mean, too."
All along, everything is light, Mama Wang has dealt with her a few times, and every time she is very generous in money, she is also willing to listen to her, "You go to ask Mrs. first, if Mrs. agrees, then everything is easy to say, if Mrs. is still a little hesitant, I will let my mother find a way to go back." ”
What else is there to say about Mama Wang? She had been following Daiyu's side, always walking around Jia's side, and she didn't have to wait for the opportunity to speak, seeing that Jia's time was free, she knelt down, and first said something about the difficulty of making a living, "I didn't hit a few times, and time passed in a flash, and now I am also thirty or forty people, and the family's land and property have been sold, and I still refuse to let go." Seeing that the children are all older, the eldest is now twelve or thirteen years old, and Zhang Luo will marry a daughter-in-law in two years, I am just tied up by him alone, how can I let the children suffer from his scourge? ”
Daiyu asked next to her, "Are you talking about my milk brother?" ”
"Isn't that how?" Mama Wang wiped a handful of tears, and when she saw that Jia's face was a little moved, she said, "Even if you sign the deed of sale, you are also willing." Although the slave's father is also a talent, who let the slave marry useless? In the future, he will really have a chance, and let him and the girl exert their strength, which is also his creation. ”
Jia Shi then said, "You bring people first, if you are a clever person, you always have to use people, so naturally you should use your own people first." ”
