Chapter 81: Smashing the pot
Lin Jinrong didn't know that the Zhou family was paying attention to her, and all her thoughts were on asking Tao Shunqin to buy saline-alkali land in the west of the city.
To the west of Pingzhou City, there is a saline-alkali land that is not in sight.
It's summer, a few heavy rains have gone down, the shiny salt huā in the saline-alkali land has either flowed away with the water or penetrated into the depths of the soil, and the weeds that are not afraid of salt have also emerged, covered with a little green, this land looks finally dazzling when the spring salt returns, but the green of the east and west alternates with the bare earth, and it still looks extremely desolate.
Lin Shiquan cautiously lowered his hands, honestly followed behind Tao Shunqin, as soon as he saw Tao Shunqin stop or speak, he immediately put up his spirit, pricked up his ears, opened his eyes wide, and fully mobilized all the strength of his body to listen, see, and remember what Tao Shunqin said and did.
From the moment he decided to buy this saline-alkali land, Tao Shunqin had taken him to this saline-alkali land for several days. He knew that Tao Shunqin was choosing the terrain, the same saline-alkali land, because of the topography, it would be more laborious to build the embankment than other saline-alkali land, or it might be selected as the place to dig the ditch and dam, and it was possible that the field was successful, but it became waterlogged, everything is learning.
He didn't understand how Tao Shunqin, a scholar, could know so much. Tao Shunqin said with a smile: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book." But it also depends on who the person is, what books he reads, and how he reads. Some people may not be able to understand a simple truth after reading books all their lives, and they can't even eat enough, and some people can't read big characters, but they wear silk and silk and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. Why is that? The nephew will understand this problem if he thinks about it. After a few days, Tao Shunqin finally saw a piece of land in the southwest corner of nearly 100 tilts, and immediately began to contact the people of Pingzhou Mansion. The thousands of saline-alkali lands in the west of the city are all owned by the government, and the most indispensable thing in the government is smart people.
Tao Shunqin invited a few people in charge of this matter in the government to eat and drink, Lin Shiquan followed him into the huā building for the first time in his life, and looked at the bewitching prostitute who was half-exposed during the banquet and did not dare to look up, and gathered twelve points of energy to listen to how Tao Shunqin dealt with the people in the government. When the prostitutes coaxed people to the bones, Tao Shunqin mentioned it, saying that he had a dream that he bought the land and built a yard there, and it would be smooth sailing, making it clear that he did not expect this land to be productive, just to buy a peace of mind.
Some people are not fascinated by the color of wine, in line with the instinct of plucking the feathers of geese, intending to make it difficult, but they are reprimanded by the most stewardly, under the warm greeting of the elder brother and brother, the land is bought as natural as a matter of course, and the price of the land is according to the lowest price, and when the land is measured, eighty tilts of land actually get one hundred tilts. Tao Shunqin had the land divided into two equal parts, and the boundary stone was erected.
Lin Shiquan didn't understand why Tao Shunqin wanted to divide this land into two parts, and as soon as he started, Tao Shunqin took the remark: "You remember, there are two kinds of land sales, one is the absolute sale, and the other is pawn, also called Yidang." This contract must be stamped with a red seal by the government, which is called a red contract, if it has not been, it is a white contract, which is easy to rip off and undesirable. ”
Then Lin Shiquan saw Tao Shunqin stuff a few silver coins into those people, and the one in charge got the most. He hadn't experienced these things, and he couldn't help but feel very distressed: "The official family bought and sold land, which was what they should do, eating, drinking, and taking, and cheapened them for nothing." ”
Tao Shunqin glanced at him with a smile on his sleeves and said, "Actually, I didn't suffer a loss. Then I calculated an account for him, the land price is cheap, and the more land you get, the key is to find these people in the future when you have something.
"If you really want to take this path, you have to remember that there is a way for the king of Hades to see little ghosts.
If you want to do business, the network is the most important, but a little money, they are better than anything else if they find a little trouble.
Besides, people have the grace to meet, and they may be able to find help in the future. ”
Tao Shunqin said.
Lin Shiquan kept it firmly in his heart, looked at the empty space to find the lychee, only hid the matter of going to the huā building to drink, and told Lin Jinrong about this matter before and after, 1510: "The land was only bought into 70 wen an acre, a total of 80 tilts of land, in fact, 100 tilts, only 560 yuan, I don't know how much my uncle has to give gifts, but it is estimated that it will not be less than dozens of yuan." ”
Lin Jinrong was surprised and delighted, happy that this land was much cheaper than the land she bought by the Liuye River, she was surprised that she didn't expect Tao Shunqin to make such a big deal, this is good, where did she find the nearly 600 yuan to pay him back?
The last time she sold silver, she earned less than 58 taels of silver from her own money, and 46 from Aunt Huang
Two, Lin Jinyin earned nearly 80 taels, plus her own original, a total of only 394 taels of silver, converted into money is only 315 yuan, this gap is big, she boasted in front of Tao Shunqin earlier that she didn't want him to buy it, she would find money at home, where to find this money now?
Borrow, who will borrow her if she can't get it back in a short time? borrowed from Lin Jinyin, who was about to get married, she was not so thick-skinned, and she had not fully paid the money she bought last time on the land by the Liuye River, and the monthly money was still being deducted. I'm so poor. Lin Jinrong was suddenly embarrassed.
It would be nice if Tao was willing to hand over the dowry prepared for her to her, but this was obviously impossible, Lin Jinrong sat for a long time, opened the makeup box and used his brain to the gold and silver jewelry inside.
She first picked out a few things that must be inserted and immovable during the New Year's holidays, picked up some simple hairpin rings and put them aside, and when she opened the bottom layer of the makeup box, a red silk wrapped in an eight-treasure red gold Yingluo collar longevity lock, two pairs of red gold bracelets and anklets that could be adjusted appeared in front of her.
She was a little stunned for a moment, and there was a dull pain in her heart.
This was worn by her when she was a child, and the monk opened it, and later followed her to the Lu family. After Ning'er was born, she didn't use the longevity lock given by others, but put it on Ning'er, hoping to ensure that Ning'er lived a long life, was free from all diseases, and was safe and well. But Ning'er left her as usual, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she shouted......
Lin Jinrong's fingertips touched the longevity lock, and his eyes were blood-red, and Ning Er's blood was soaked in the word "longevity" at that time, which was really ironic! She gritted her teeth fiercely, there will be no more Ning'er in the future, and this thing can't guarantee Ning'er, what's the use of keeping it? That's it! She lowered her eyes, forced herself to take her eyes back from the longevity lock, wrapped the red silk tightly with her own hands, and handed it to Lychee: "You take it to the third young master, and let him think of exchanging it for money." ”
Lychee was shocked: "Girl, it's okay for other things, but I'm afraid this is inappropriate." ”
These things have a record, and unless they are destroyed, otherwise they will be known, and the gossip will be unpleasant, but if they are destroyed, they will be devalued.
Lin Jinrong said lightly: "You let him dismantle it, first remove the gemstone beads inlaid on it, and then find someone to melt the gold and silver and sell them separately." No one will recognize it. What she wants to sell most is the crystal lotus huā hairpin won by the tea fight, Lin Yuzhen's things, and keep the diaphragm.
"Girl, this is what Mrs. asked for for you, the monk has opened the light, if Mrs. knows, she will be heartbroken. Besides, even if you sell this, it's not enough, didn't my uncle say to buy it for you............ "Lychee can't understand, there's nothing good about the saline-alkali ground hair not growing, why does the girl want to buy it so much, even to this point." She has been serving by Lin Jinrong's side for a long time, and she has long found that Lin Jinrong's quietness hides a deep anxiety. When she was in Zhuangzi, she thought that Lin Jinrong was already well, but now it seems that it has actually intensified, but it is just hidden deeper. The reason for this is that after being frightened and sick that time, Lychee blamed herself for a while.
She trembled her throat and asked Lin Jinrong cautiously: "Girl, you are not short of food, you are not short of clothes, Mrs. has been preparing makeup for you, what are you worried about?" Even if you don't want to talk to the slave maid, for fear that your wife will be worried, you should talk to the third girl, and she will definitely be able to help you.
"No matter how close your parents and brothers are, there are some things that you can't let them know." She had too many worries, but she couldn't be an outsider, Lin Jinrong was silent for a moment, and smiled: "Lychee, did it scare you?" I'm not worried about anything, I just don't want my uncle's money. My sister is going to get married, I'm not a child, I'm embarrassed to ask my uncle to contribute, and I want him to make money, what do my cousins in Cheongju think of our sisters? I want this little face. She paused and asked the hanging head inquiringly, "You don't tell anyone about it, do you?"
Longan like that, I don't know who to trust except to believe you. ”
Lychee's eyes were a little dodgy, she just wanted to go and say to Lin Jinyin, please Lin Jinyin to persuade Lin Jinrong to come, but Lin Jinrong had already said this, she naturally couldn't bear to disappoint Lin Jinrong, and nodded reluctantly: "Girl, otherwise, the slave still has some money in her hand, can you take it for emergency?" Lin Jinrong smiled: "I still have a way, I don't want yours, hurry up and do something." After Lychee left, Lin Jinrong lay on the couch and was stunned for a long time, and finally came up with a way, so he shouted loudly: "Cherry!" "The cherry was newly selected and sent by Gong's mother, Ben is nine years old, wearing an emerald green shirt and a blue skirt, single eyelids, bright eyes, long hands and feet, good looks, eyebrows and eyes, clean. She walked in lightly, stood in front of the couch and said with a smile, "What do you command?" ”
Lin Jinrong said with a smile: "I want to invite a few girls over for tea, and you can prepare some pastries and fruits." ”
Cherry went in response, Lin Jinrong called Mama Gui in, opened the suitcase and turned out the newly made jade-colored lotus huā dark pattern thin silk dress, thinly applied a little fat powder, inserted the crystal lotus huā hairpin, asked Dou'er to follow, and personally went to invite Lin five, six, and seven.
