In the afternoon, listening to the cool silence in Taoju, Mrs. Lin asked Lin Rumin, who was standing on the side, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Rumin cautiously took a cup of tea and said with a smile: "There have been some rumors outside these days. The third brother and the third brother and sister bought hundreds of hectares of saline-alkali land in the west of the city, and people outside were laughing at them for being crazy, and there was no place to use the money. I hadn't heard them mention such a major event earlier, "You can't stop it." ”

"What do you do with the woman's bride?" Old lady Lin put down the teacup and said lightly: "You want to ask me, can you buy this land?" ”

Lin Rumin was pierced by his words, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, and snorted: "That land is not expensive, if it can really become a good land, our family will be much more prosperous in the future." But if you really want to buy it, it's a lot of money

If it can't be done, it will be equivalent to a waste. ”

Old lady Lin said slowly: "You are in your forties, you can't always ask me about everything."

If you can't read well, you don't have that blessing, but you don't know what to do with such a trivial matter. ”

"Father taught me a lesson." Lin Rumin was afraid of him, and when he heard this, he was a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to ask again, so he retreated in disdain.

Old Lady Lin looked at the back of her eldest son and let out a long sigh.

He does not agree with everything to be profitable, in his opinion, the imperial examination is the right way. But there are so many scholars in the world, after all, there are only a few people who can embark on official careers, and in today's world, marriage is about wealth, if there is no family property, even the relatives of children are a problem, not to mention the thick burial, how much burden it has added to people. Therefore, the small actions of his sons and daughters-in-law, he turned a blind eye to the harmless, and he could get by. However, the eldest son not only failed to make achievements in the imperial examination, but even managed the family business so stingily on weekdays. I can't help but be disappointed.

Lin Shenzhi, who was writing by the window, turned around when he heard the sound, put down the pen in his hand and said, "Why is my grandfather sighing?" ”

Old lady Lin looked at her grandson with round eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Little old man, you have to remember that entering the imperial examination is the right way." You must study hard and don't let down my hard work! ”

Lin Shenzhi hurriedly stood up straight and responded, "Yes!" ”

Lin Rumin returned to Pu Jianju with a disgraced face, and pulled his collar when he entered the door and said: "Serve tea, play a fan, and kill me." ”

Zhou hurriedly took the tea, took a fan and fanned him virtuously, and whispered, "What?" ”

Lin Rumin said with a calm face: "The old man let me make my own decisions." ”

"So what should I do? To buy or not to buy? Zhou couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

If you don't buy this land, you're afraid of missing the opportunity to make a fortune: if you buy her makeup, you're afraid that you're afraid of losing your money and don't dare to take risks: it's best to buy it with the money of the public, and the loss is everyone's compensation, and the personal loss can be minimized. Who knew that the old lady did not express his position.

The old man let him make his own decisions, but he didn't say anything against it, and he was not allowed to buy it. Lin Rumin was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Buy!" Just buy it with the money from the public school! ”

Zhou Shi hurriedly said: "How much to buy?" ”

"Buy a hundred dumps too! Take the thousands of taels of silver sent by Roche to sell it.

Lin Rumin stretched out a thumb and shook it: "In the evening, you ask the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes and get some good wine, and I will invite the second and third children to dinner." ”

This meal is to discuss the purchase of land, the third room must be the main owner to buy land, the second room will not object, if out of the mistake of the big house not only do not have to be responsible, but also leave a good name. The leader of the Zhou family smiled knowingly: "Okay." ”

As Lin Rumin wished, at the banquet, Lin San really advocated buying land, and the bragging almost broke the sky, all he said was how shrewd and capable Tao Shunqin was, and he had never lost money, and it was recommended to buy a little more, so that everyone would get rich together. The second master just laughed and said that his brother and brother would be as good as they were, and he had no opinion.

Lin Rumin finally decided to buy a hundred dumps of land, he reported the news to Mrs. Lin to know, and focused on a few words from Mr. Lin San, Mrs. Lin only laughed and said lightly: "What a big thing, why is it so." ”

Lin Rumin's face was flushed, but he couldn't argue. He knew that the old lady had seen through the fact that he was afraid of being responsible and wanted to make money, but he was also full of grievances, he had been studying since he was a child, but he didn't have that life, so it was easy to die, and he was not good at managing the family business, the old lady was partial to the second room, and Luo was restless, waiting to poke the big room in his back at any time, and his eldest son was really tired.

Seeing him standing there pitifully, Old Lady Lin felt more and more annoyed, and waved his hand: "What should you do?" Remember that you are the eldest son, the eldest brother. ”

When Lin Rumin got this, she relieved her heart. He originally planned to buy land on the second day, but Zhou Mai made a small servant to say that Mr. Zhu had a birthday and asked him to help with some gifts. Scholarly family, respecting teachers is a big deal, he had to put down the matter at hand and rush to Mr. Zhu's birthday in person, Mr. Zhu gave him face and kept him for two days.

When he came back, four days had passed, and he slowly looked at the land, and discussed with the people in the yamen, only to find that the price of saline-alkali land had risen again, to 160 wen per mu, and the land he was optimistic about already had an owner, and if he wanted to buy it, he had to go to a more remote place to look again. As soon as I inquired, I learned that in the past few days, the second room was quietly bought by Luo's I to buy dozens of tilts, and the Wu family also bought two hundred tilts of land to put it, and the old lady of the Lu family also heard the news, and the sweep was more than two hundred tilts, and the land price was speculated high for them, and the good land was also selected for them first.

If you want to say that the three families of Wu, Lin, and Lu in Pingzhou, the poorest one is the Lin family at present, and the other two families have money, so it's okay to throw a few thousand taels of silver casually, where does the Lin family have so much spare money to toss? Lin Rumin was so angry that he vomited blood, first hated the big mouth of Lin San, and then hated Lin Er's wife for being cunning, selfish and cold-blooded, only caring about taking advantage of themselves, so they didn't think about saving some money for their family1

Money, is there a more useless, selfish brother than this?

"Qi Guiqi" land still has to be bought, the Lu family and the Wu family have bought the land, so is there anything wrong? There must be something to be earned.

I also felt that the second and third rooms were bought and put in private, they didn't buy too much loss, and they would divide the family in the future, and it would be a trivial matter to be compared to the other two rooms, the key was that the son and grandchildren were nowhere to go, so he discussed with the Zhou family, gritted his teeth and swept dozens of places to put it.

Zhou regretted it, the more she looked at the account books, the more she regretted it, "The more I look at it, the more sad I become, I knew this, she should have made a decision immediately, and bought it first while others didn't know it, and let her pick and choose, even the price can't be as high as the fool of Lin San, and it is Qi Tiantianwen."

Now it's good, it's equivalent to huā buying a land with bad terrain at double the price. Zhou clutched his chest, so sad that he couldn't speak.

Master Lin comforted her: "Don't be sad, don't be sad, if it's not like this, I won't know if this land can be bought, although I have a little more money, but I have peace ............of mind" Speaking of this, even he himself can't go on. Well, it must be known to the old lady, and it is another evidence that he can't do things.

When Lin Jinrong learned about this, nearly a month had passed.

Lin Jinyin smiled and said, "I also said that why the eldest aunt has always looked like she has been lacking in qi and blood recently, and the eldest uncle always picks the hairy eyes of the second room for the new year, and looks at the father and ignores it." It turned out to be for this. It's called shooting yourself in the foot. Looking ahead and looking ahead, refusing to eat the slightest loss but wanting to take advantage of it, where is there such an easy thing in the world? ”

Lin Jinrong couldn't help but smile slightly, "Perhaps, this matter of leading the water of the Zhu River to Yutian will not necessarily be in advance."

Earlier, she was the only one who owned this land, so she could only obediently wait for the time to come, and it was logical to become a good field. But now it's different, the big families in Pingzhou City have basically bought saline-alkali land to start, who would want their money to be wasted? and Tao Shunqin, who can tell if he will also set off a boom in buying and selling saline-alkali land in Cheongju? If the saline-alkali land is all in the hands of the big families of Pyeongju and Cheongju, "maybe they can't wait until then, and someone will promote this major event in advance."

In the blink of an eye, the Tao family packed up his things early, gave the old lady Lin and Mrs. Lin, and prepared to go to Qingzhou with Lin Jinrong and Lin Shenzhi to congratulate the Wu family after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Aunt Huang learned from Master Lin San that Tao was going to go on a blind date for Lin Yizhi on this trip, so she couldn't help but be anxious, and had the heart to go with Tao, but she knew that it was impossible, so she had to beg Lin Jinrong to say a few kind words for her.

Lin Jinrong agreed with his mouth. Of course, she will help Tao Ti Lin Yizhi choose a daughter-in-law. In his previous life, Lin Yizhi's marriage was not the master of the Tao family, but the person chosen by the Zhou family, surnamed Fan, a native of Qingzhou, and after passing the pass of Mrs. Lin, he directly notified the Tao family to prepare for hiring money and married someone into the door.

Fan and Lin Yizhi are the same concubines, with a gloomy personality, there is not much smile on their faces all the year round, and they can't find any fault with Tao on the surface, but they don't have a lot of calculations behind Lin Shenzhi. In short, it is an indescribable discomfort, in this life, with her, Fan's don't want to enter the door of the Lin family!

Only after August 15, news came from Taiming Mansion that Lu Lu and Wu Xiang had passed the examination. Wu Xiang was the solution to the yuan, Lu Lu condescended to him, and the three young men of the Lin family who went together barely hung up at the end, and the fourth young man fell to Sun Shan.

The Wu and Lu families set off firecrackers and were overjoyed, but the Lin family was silent, and they didn't dare to walk out.

Old lady Lin was very angry and frustrated, among a few other children, the long cut, the second cut took several times before he barely took the test, but it was already the limit, and he had long lost hope. The three sons took the exam twice and finally got in, and the ranking was still so ugly, and the fourth grandson was even more angry. Well, back then, how could he have been so angry?

So on this day, Lin Shenzhi was locked up until the time of the palm lamp before he was released from Tingtaoju, and he had to add two bowls for dinner. Dow was afraid that he would be able to eat, so he pressed and refused to eat, and he was so distressed that he had to whisper a few words.

Lin Shenzhi blinked his eyes and smiled: "I want to be the same as Second Brother Wu in the future, and I have to be admitted to the Jinshi, what's the point of suffering a little?" ”

"Okay, my mother is waiting for you to be named on the gold list." Tao pinched his nose lovingly, and called Gong's mother to discuss: "I have to prepare a generous gift for the Wu family, and then ask the other two rooms how they plan to go to the Lu family, we will give a gift, don't send more, don't send less." He whispered to his two daughters, "Don't say it, your aunt is really lucky." ”

Lin Jinrong was in a trance for a while.
