Chapter 53: Sent and Delivered

The song "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" made Shen Moting unique, took the last train, and became the last person to be ordered by Zhao Gongzi to take him to the capital.

This time, Zhao Gongzi stayed in Jinan for almost two months, and there were fifty people who brought him back to the capital.

In addition to chefs and musicians, there are also kabuki, ventriloquists, acrobats, and even many craftsmen.

Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone knew that most of these people would be brought into the palace to perform in front of the palace.

For craftsmen like them, being able to perform for the official family and perform in front of the emperor is equivalent to later generations studying abroad and crossing the gold. When he returns to his hometown in the future, he is worth a hundred times.

Shen Moting was excited and apprehensive, and pulled Lin Zhenniang to say dozens of words of thanks.

"When I was thirteen years old, I followed my master with the piano in my arms, and I never thought that one day I would be able to perform in front of the emperor. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have missed this opportunity......"

Looking at Lin Zhenniang, his eyes were very strange, "Zhenniang, I have been in the tile shop for many years, and my romantic temperament has long been cultivated. The woman who begged for a living with me in the tile shop naturally didn't care about this, and laughed with me freely. But those women from good families avoid me like snakes and scorpions. It's only you, who are not bewitched by me, but who laugh with me freely......"

Hearing him say this, Lin Zhenniang couldn't hold back anymore, "What do you mean?" Talking to you is not a good woman? I said Master Shen, if you talk like this when you enter Beijing, you will be hated - of course, those little girls probably can't hate if they want to......"

Shen Moting laughed when he heard this, didn't say that anymore, bowed deeply, and left.

The next day, Zhao Gongzi set off for Beijing.

Because of the large number of people he took away this time, early in the morning, the city gate was crowded with people to see him off.

Rubbing hands and looking at each other, choking with tears, farewell and farewell, but there are still too many unfinished intimate words.

did not wait at the gate of the city, Lin Zhenniang personally cooked early in the morning, made a table of good dishes, called the guys to pick up the food box, and waited in the long pavilion five miles away.

An Ronghe didn't prepare any gifts, he was dressed in a green shirt, and saw him off in the long pavilion empty-handed.

When Zhao Gongzi's carriage drove away slowly, he untied the bamboo flute from his waist and played a song.

It was at this time that Lin Zhenniang knew that An Ronghe was still a good flute.

And Huang Gongzi looked at An Ronghe, thoughtful, and after a while, he said lightly: "Brother An, this time you refused to enter Beijing, do you know that it makes me very unhappy?" ”

An Ronghe put away the bamboo flute, and there was no fear on his face. But the more he is so high, the more Huang Gongzi appreciates it.

In these years, the style of the literati is more expensive than gold.

"But do you know what Zhao Gongzi said?" Seeing An Rong and calmly smiling, he was not in a hurry to ask, Huang Gongzi laughed twice and solved the mystery by himself, "Zhao Gongzi, he told me, not to mention how An Rong and are now, after three years, you can see ......him again."

An Ronghe was silent, and after a long while, he raised his head and smiled: "Zhao Gongzi looks up to Ronghe so much, it really makes Ronghe embarrassed - if I don't care, wouldn't I be sorry for Gongzi's good intentions?" ”

Huang Gongzi's eyes flashed slightly, and he also laughed.

This conversation sounds straightforward, but it hides a sharp edge, Lin Zhenniang was confused, pursed the corners of her mouth, and simply ignored it.

The yellow boy was funny, and actually looked at Lin Zhenniang and said with a smile: "Little lady, this three-year covenant can also be used on you!" Not only Zhao Gongzi, but even I, I really want to see what big things you can do if you refuse this opportunity......"

"With the child's expectations, I will naturally ......" The voice suddenly paused, Lin Zhenniang turned her head to look at the approaching carriage on the official road, and somehow, she suddenly took a few steps forward.

Two green wagons, unmarked. It looks very ordinary, but Lin Zhenniang always feels that the car in front of her is very familiar.

"Why does it look a bit like Liu Yuan's ......" Before she finished speaking, she saw that someone in one of the carriages suddenly lifted the curtain and probed out.

"Zhenniang, Zhenniang......" The girl who poked her head out shouted loudly, and her bright and moving face was full of bright smiles.

It's not Chai Hua'er or who?!

With wide eyes, Lin Zhenniang turned her head, and sure enough, she saw another approaching carriage revealing Liu Yuan's figure.

It's really them!

Although I don't know how these two people got together, Lin Zhenniang's joy can't be hidden.

Especially, when she saw the other person following Liu Yuan, her smile became a little bigger.

"Ang Lee, why are you here too?" As soon as she finished asking, she woke up, "Yes, you're here to take the autumn exam." ”

Li An nodded yes, looking at Lin Zhenniang, her eyes were gentle, although she was happy, she had returned to peace.

And Chai Hua'er, as soon as she jumped out of the car, did not run directly to Lin Zhenniang's side, but directly pulled Liu Yuan's arm, which was affectionate enough to melt people.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yuan frowned and wanted to break away, but because Chai Hua'er hugged him tightly, he frowned and acquiesced.

Seeing this situation, if she didn't understand what was going on, Lin Zhenniang would be too stupid.

Covering her mouth, she wanted to say something, but looking at Liu Yuan's awkward expression, she swallowed it.

"Zhenniang, we can bring you a lot of good things!" Chai Hua'er smiled and nodded to the carriage she was in.

"What kind of corn you are talking about, I eat it, it tastes delicious. It's just that all that's left now is the ones you said you were going to keep for seeding......"

Coughing, Liu Yuan glanced at Chai Hua'er and looked at Lin Zhenniang: "Let's talk about it when we go back." ”

Knowing that Liu Yuan was unwilling to say this on the road, Lin Zhenniang immediately responded.

When I entered the city, I didn't let a few people go to the guest house, and directly brought her back to her small courtyard.

Although there were men among the guests who came, it didn't seem very convenient, but An Ronghe didn't say a word. When I went back, I said a few words, and I went to work in the yamen as usual.

Chai Huaer said that she brought a lot of good things, but it was true.

If nothing else, the dried chili peppers alone are enough for two sacks. These chili peppers are enough for half a year in the restaurant.

"In that box, it's the money from selling tender corn." Liu Yuan is a careful person, and he is naturally very serious about handling these handovers.

Seeing that Lin Zhenniang didn't open the box for inspection, he said that he wouldn't agree to anything.

"Since you can trust me and leave this matter to me, then I have to explain the matter clearly."

Taking the account book, Liu Yuan crackled the abacus, "Corn, except for those you said you wanted to keep for seeds, you have harvested less than a hundred ears in total." Like you said before, these tender corns can be eaten when cooked, and they taste extremely sweet. I didn't sell the ears as you said, but cut two sections, and sold them for three taels in one section, so that one ear was sold for less than six hundred yuan, and the corn was sold for sixty taels of silver in total......"

"Sold for sixty taels?" Lin Zhenniang nodded, and her heart was not less.

Dongbo, who didn't listen too seriously, asked again: "How much was sold?" ”

Although he doesn't care about his family, the Lin family's fifty acres of land is not much rent a year. Just a field of corn? Aren't they all sold?!

Liu Yuan turned his head, smiled and explained to Dongbo again, turned around, and glared at Lin Zhenniang, "There is such a good thing, why didn't you look for me in the first place?" If you tell me that I buy dozens of acres of land and specialize in this, wouldn't I want to earn more?! ”

Lin Zhenniang was happy and peaceful, so she ignored Liu Yuan's complaints, "I also want to have more, but I also need to have seeds!" ”

Liu Yuan snorted and said calmly: "You said three or seven points before, and now I don't need the thirty percent consignment fee." Give me some seeds, and next year I'm going to buy land to grow this corn. ”

Lin Zhenniang nodded, "The seeds left behind have already taken your share." However, Ah Yuan, there is no point in making things scarce and expensive if there are more of these things, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sell them at this price next year. ”

Liu Yuan nodded, but there was a deep meaning in his eyes, "This, you don't have to worry about it." I'm thinking farther than you......"

When Lin Zhenniang heard this, she snorted lightly and said with a smile: "Boss Liu, who thinks farther than me, tell me what you are doing in Jinan?" ”

"Naturally, I'm here to do business," Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said loudly in a high-spirited manner: "I have sold all the honeycomb coal to Shanxi, how can Jinan not have honeycomb coal?" ”

This is true, Jinan also sold honeycomb coal before, but it was all sold by some second-class dealers. Now Liu Yuan wants to open the coal yard himself, no matter how you calculate it, it is not a small business.

The corner of her eyes swept over the firewood flowers that were coming over, Lin Zhenniang hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, although she didn't say anything, Liu Yuan knew what she meant.

"Don't laugh at me like that," Liu Yuan snorted and said lightly: "Zhenniang, it's really hard to say about this - anyway, Brother Chai intends to cooperate with Jinan's carriage and horse dealers, and we also want to drive the 'delicious again' to Jinan." It's only natural for flowers to come over to help. ”

Needless to say, the phrase "flowers" already says a lot.

Lin Zhenniang just laughed, but she really didn't deliberately laugh at anything. Even if Liu Yuan won't be annoyed and angry, it depends on whether Chai Hua'er will get angry and quarrel with her.

It's a good thing that has finally come true, if she is ruined with a few words, then she can't afford to take this responsibility.

deliberately avoided boiling water, Chai Hua'er deliberately let Liu Yuan and Lin Zhenniang talk, and seeing that the two of them were almost clear, they also brought water.

He greeted Li An again, "Li Xiaolang, come and drink water!" Your book! It's not in the way. ”

Li An smiled shyly, although the person came, but the scroll in his hand was not put down.

Lin Zhenniang looked at him and said with a smile: "It seems that you are bound to win this session!" ”

"That's not it," Ang Lee smiled, "just to do what I could." If you get the name of lifting the son, I want to try Chunqiu next year, whether you hit it or not, it is an exercise. ”

Listening to Li An's calm words, knowing that his mentality had calmed down, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but be happier.

"That's good, if you really get into the Jinshi next year, then our friends will really stick to your light ......"

"I don't dare to exaggerate so much, but this time I didn't hit, and there will be a next time. Let's see ...... three years from now"

The sentence "three years later" made Lin Zhenniang stunned, and then laughed: "Okay! Don't look at the present, but look at what we will do in three years! ”RS
