Chapter 318: Invitation
She had guessed that Zhu Bisheng would come to pay New Year's greetings before, and she really came.
Zhu Bisheng is very polite, because of his business with Lin Zifu, now he can speak in the master's house, and his status has also improved.
I always felt that after meeting Lin Zifu, my luck was better.
looked at Lin Zifu with a gentle smile and said, "Doctor Lin, is this building a new house?" ”
Lin Zifu nodded slightly, Aunt Ying brought the brewed tea, and then turned around and went out, she was still not used to communicating with unfamiliar people.
There are still only Lin Zifu and Zhu Bisheng in the house.
"I made a little money this year, and I thought about building a new house, and you also saw that the current house is too dilapidated, although it was also repaired the year before last, but now the place that needs to be wide and the yard is too small to satisfy."
Many things are crowded in the courtyard, not to mention anything else, just a few stoves drying herbs next to the corner of the wall have occupied half of the courtyard, and there are medicine shelves for medicines.
Every time the herbs were taken home, except for the fact that there was nothing on the bed, the other places were full of herbs, which was very crowded and not suitable for rest.
It is precisely because of this that this time I made up my mind to build a new house, and the money is not bad, but I still want to make myself comfortable, and more importantly, a large part of the house was built with Aunt Ying.
Zhu Bisheng remembered what he had done against Lin Zifu before, and said with a smile with a hint of reminiscence: "Dr. Lin's growth is really fast, you are suitable for business, and you are naturally suitable for business, I don't understand something, if you have been doing business, your achievements will definitely be more than this, why don't you do business wholeheartedly, but go to treat diseases and save people?" ”
I've been thinking about this question before, Lin Zifu is very good at doing business, as far as he can see, such a mind is incredible, but Lin Zifu doesn't concentrate on business, but instead spends most of her energy on treating diseases and saving people, which makes him completely puzzled.
From the perspective of a businessman, Lin Zifu gave up a mountain of gold.
Lin Zifu remembered that when she first came to the village, she was forced to do business for a living.
His eyes were full of recollections: "When I came to the village, I was very poor, at that time, I spent almost all the silver on Aunt Ying, and the life went on in general, so ah, as soon as my heart was horizontal, I began to go up the mountain to collect medicine and do business, and it was also step by step to the present, it is really not easy to say, I like to treat diseases and save people, and doing business is just for the sake of livelihood, in order to live a better life, I want to treat diseases and save people the most." ”
She was also glad that she insisted on being a doctor, and she met Doctor Night, so everything was worth it.
Zhu Bisheng didn't expect Lin Zifu to give the answer to this, and he was still very shocked in his heart, which was a very courageous thing for him.
He admired him very much: "Dr. Lin is really different, which makes me admire." ”
"Shopkeeper Zhu is too modest." Lin Zifu was embarrassed, she was always a little embarrassed to be complimented like this.
Zhu Bisheng remembered the matter of Yongning Mansion and said: "By the way, the son of the Zhou family is going to get married, did Mrs. Zhou invite you?" ”
Lin Zifu thought that not too many people would know about this matter, but she didn't expect Zhu Bisheng to know.
Surprised: "Shopkeeper Zhu knows about this? ”
Zhu Bisheng smiled and said: "I guess, I still know what kind of person Mrs. Zhou is, this person looks very gentle on the surface, but in fact, he is also very stingy and vindictive, Zhou Mingqi was so affectionate to you before, she has been a hindrance for so long, how can she let go of this opportunity to show off." ”
Lin Zifu was very right about Zhu Bisheng's analysis, Mrs. Zhou is really that kind of person, stingy, and very vindictive, Zhou Mingqi invited her to get married, not just to show off.
But she is not the kind of person who is dead-eyed, Mrs. Zhou can show off if she wants to, and this is not a big deal.
"She invited me, and I plan to go the day after tomorrow, since I have been invited, I still have to give face." It's not a way to hide, it's not a way.
And Mrs. Zhou's careful thinking can still be understood, the best way to deal with this kind of person is to let the other party know that she is not easy to bully.
Zhu Bisheng could probably guess what Lin Zifu was thinking, and he also agreed with this approach.
nodded and said: "I thought you should work against Mrs. Zhou before, this woman is very hypocritical, the last time I used me, I didn't let her get any benefits, and she stumbled in business, and in the end she didn't admit it." ”
He knows Mrs. Zhou too well that kind of person, she is a typical bully and afraid of the hard, if Lin Zifu is tougher, maybe Mrs. Zhou will not dare to stumble behind her back in the future.
Lin Zifu didn't let Mrs. Zhou admit it, she just felt that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and now she has a little strength, and she doesn't have to look at the face of the Zhou family to live, all this is a good result.
"I just hope that after going this time, the two have nothing to do with each other, and she can rest assured, I don't have any other thoughts about her son."
She didn't want to say what Zhou Mingqi was like, she could only say that the two were inseparable, and she didn't like Zhou Mingqi's kind of dishonest person.
Shopkeeper Zhu is very free: "I'm waiting for you in Yongning Mansion, this is where you don't live in Yongning Mansion, I have an idle yard in Yongning Mansion, and no one lives in it anyway, your guest house is not very safe, why don't you live in my house?" ”
He knew that he owed Lin Zifu a lot of favors, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to repay Lin Zifu.
Lin Zifu was embarrassed and said, "That's not good, wouldn't this bother you." ”
Shopkeeper Zhu waved his hand again and again and said: "Don't be so polite, this is not a matter of bothering or not bothering, you can't stay in an inn when a girl's family comes to Yongning Mansion, the inn is not safe, the house is idle and idle, Doctor Lin or this, you will come to Zhu Mansion directly to find me after you arrive in Yongning Mansion, and then I will take you to the idle house, it is very convenient for a maid to serve everything, Doctor Lin must give me this face." ”
He really wanted to repay Lin Zifu, and of course he had to seize this opportunity.
Lin Zifu didn't want to agree, but Shopkeeper Zhu was so resolute and finally agreed, in the final analysis, it was Shopkeeper Zhu's kindness, and he said face...... This face must be given.
Shopkeeper Zhu didn't stay to eat, because he was in a hurry to go back to Yongning Mansion, so he left after explaining the matter.
Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying began to prepare tomorrow's meal.
Aunt Ying was washing vegetables, raised her head and looked at Lin Zifu and said, "Tian Guiying's family should also be invited." ”
Tian Guiying had never been invited before, but now that Tian Guiying has joined, he can't be left aside.
Lin Zifu felt that this was a difficult matter, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Just invite Aunt Gui Ying to come, as for her family, she is not very familiar with it." ”
She still knows in her heart that Tian Guiying is very good, but she is not very familiar with her family, and she is not comfortable being invited.
Aunt Ying pondered for a while and felt that this was very good, and she should not offend anyone.
"Then it's settled."
The next day, Aunt Liao and Aunt Guixiang were invited to help, He Yunhu knew that Lin Zifu was going to have a treat today, and went to the river early to catch fish, the fish in winter were not very easy to catch, and there was no net fish for a while, and the techniques were a little rusty, so I finally waited until it was almost noon, and caught two fish weighing about two catties, so I went back satisfied.
Prepared three tables of meals, since everyone was invited to join the New Year, of course, they could not be saved, so chicken, duck and fish were available, and two large jars of wine were bought.
It's rare to get together once a year, everyone is staggered, Lin Zifu and their table are full of women, drinking rice wine, and Lin Zifu likes the sweet taste very much.
At the banquet, Aunt Liao and the others explained the housekeeping, and after cleaning up in the afternoon, they asked He Yunhu to send them to the county seat.
Although there is a carriage, it is about to be the New Year, and they can't trouble He Yunhu and them to send them to Yongning Mansion.
After going to the county seat, I paid a high price for a carriage and went to Yongning Mansion early.
Aunt Ying was a little nervous in the carriage, and always felt that going to Yongning Mansion this time would not be too peaceful.
Along the way, I was worried that I would encounter difficulties in going to Yongning Mansion this time.
Lin Zifu thought through and patiently comforted.
Because they were in a hurry, they were only Chinese New Year's Eve when they arrived in Yongning Mansion, and they went to find the Zhu Shopkeeper, and the Zhu Shopkeeper personally took them to the idle yard, which happened to be not too far from the Zhou family.
Shopkeeper Zhu asked the maid to prepare everything, and finally won the opportunity for Lin Zifu to live in his house, so naturally he had to grasp it well, everything was prepared properly, which made Lin Zifu embarrassed.
Aunt Ying is not familiar with Yongning Mansion, but she has also seen the world, although the Zhu family's yard is good, but it is not shocking.
Lin Zifu lived in the courtyard with peace of mind, because it was an idle yard, so it was not very big, and the scenery of the two-entry courtyard was good.
After letting the maid go down, Aunt Ying said secretly: "I didn't expect the shopkeeper Zhu to have such a family, this house is in such a good location, at least a thousand taels of silver, and the yard where he lived before is better." ”
She thinks that Shopkeeper Zhu is just a small shopkeeper, but he can save so much money, and it seems that he has the ability.
Lin Zifu felt that Aunt Ying was right, Shopkeeper Zhu still had a family background.
"After all, it's a big shopkeeper, no matter how you say it, you have the ability, but this is not an uncommon thing, if Aunt Ying likes the house in Yongning Mansion, let's buy one in the future."
At the current rate, it is still easy to buy a house.
Aunt Ying waved her hand directly and refused again and again: "I'll just say, don't buy it here, I still like the village." ”
In the past, when she was in the Zhou family, so many people looked down on her, but when she arrived in the village, everyone respected her, which made her very satisfied, at least she would not be looked down upon by others.
Lin Zifu just deliberately said that she knew that Aunt Ying was reluctant to leave the village.
"Have a good rest, go to Yongning Mansion tomorrow, and go to Zhou's house the day after tomorrow."
Since it's still early, it's still early, so it's better to walk around.
Aunt Ying is now arranged by Lin Zifu, anyway, she will listen to whatever Lin Zifu says.
"Everything is up to you."
She also wanted to visit Yongning Mansion, after all, it was the first time to come.
