Regardless of whether Lin Qingwan's thoughts were superfluous or correct, Zhao Sheng would not be affected, and when the chief steward Zhong presented the map drawn by the field, Zhao Sheng bought a piece of land at the foot of the mountain and began to build another courtyard in a hurry.

There is a small village at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, called Xiaoqing Village, there are only about a dozen households, and the land at the foot of the mountain is basically theirs.

Although it is also the land of Suzhou, it belongs to two counties, and the administrative responsibilities must be separated, which is not beneficial to Lin Qingwan.

So the angels made up the rest of the land for her on this side of Qingfeng Mountain, because there is actually a lot of unowned land here.

In this world, except for the Yongye Field, which already has the Lord, all other lands belong to the state and to the emperor.

However, the angel who was sent to Suzhou was obviously very considerate and very considerate of the Lin family, and the land on this side of Qingfeng Mountain was separated from Xiaoqing Village by some distance, and he was ready to divide the land for the new population of their village, so the two sides were not bordered.

But the location in the field is not bad, and the soil quality is good, Lin Qingwan nodded with satisfaction after looking at the map.

There is not much land over there, but more than 300 acres, Lin Qingwan put it aside for the time being, and the main focus is still on Zhuangzi's side.

"Have you asked them? Do you want to pay rent and farm like the tenant farmers, or do you want to take the monthly money and obey the orders as before? ”

Chief Steward Zhong bowed his head and said, "They all said that they were willing to follow the master, share the glory and disgrace with the master, and advance and retreat together." ”

Lin Qingwan sighed and said: "Since this is the case, everything will be as usual, I still want to let them accumulate more wealth and let them go in a few years." ”

Zhong Daguan stopped talking, Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, maybe I have some aspects that I don't think through, but if you don't say it, how will I know?" ”

"Grandma, they don't want to let go of the good, you want to mention this, they are afraid that you still think you think they are burdensome?"

"What are these words, and how can I dislike them for being burdensome?" Except for Steward Zhong and Steward Lin, among the people left, those who were left behind were the most loyal, and they also had their own abilities, and it was too late for her to be grateful.

Chief Steward Zhong said in a low voice: "After all, most of them have their own flaws. ”

Lin Qingwan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then shook her head and smiled: "But in my opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and I just want them to live better." Forget it, since they are still not at ease, then let's leave it at that, stay for a few years, if they change their minds, tell me, and then change it. ”

Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "Uncle Zhong, you go and talk to them, just say what I said, they can endure it very much, and I still count on them to help me do a good job in this Zhuangzi, and when I turn around, my eldest sister and I can all point to this Zhuangzi to eat, let them not be arrogant." ”

Seeing that Lin Qingwan really thought those people were very capable, Chief Steward Zhong responded happily and bowed down to retreat.

When he walked to the side, he suddenly remembered, and turned back and said, "Grandma, the Zhao family's courtyard at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain has already been built, should we also build one there?" Our land is ready-made. ”

Lin Qingwan thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Diagonally opposite is our Zhuangzi, who will live in the courtyard?" It's just a waste of money. ”

"No matter how close it is, it is not the range of Aomine Mountain......

Lin Qingwan smiled, "Let's wait and see, we don't have to compete to please the Lu family, and I think Mr. Lu doesn't disdain this kind of flattery." ”

Lin Qingwan saw that Chief Steward Zhong frowned, so she sighed: "Uncle Zhong, the family doesn't have much cash, so you have to save some money." ”

Steward Zhong was shocked, and then remembered that the Lin family had donated most of their cash, and only kept tens of thousands of taels to live, and now the eldest lady is still young, and there are still more places to use the money.

Now it's no longer the time for the Lin family to be extravagant.

Chief Steward Zhong lowered his head, "The slave only knew, it was the slave who didn't think it through." ”

Steward Zhong stepped back and ran into Steward Lin.

When Steward Lin saw his stunned appearance, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the matter, I was trained by my aunt and grandmother?" ”

Steward Zhong shook his head, "No, I just suddenly remembered when the old lady was still there." ”

Steward Lin looked inside and said in a low voice, "Why did you mention the old lady?" ”

Chief Steward Zhong sighed, "How wanton we were when the old lady was here before, but now we ......"

Steward Lin looked at him disapprovingly, so he shook his hand and said: "I don't mean anything else, I just feel that the eldest lady is suffering," his eyes were red and said: "She is the only girl of the old lady, when she was not born, the old lady wanted to open a room for her and raise her under her knees, and after she was born, she was also held in the palm of her hand by the old lady, the lord and the lady, but I didn't expect to be on the verge of being a widow, and now I even have to break my fingers to ......count the money."

Steward Lin: ...... Is my aunt as miserable as you say? Why can't I feel it at all?

Steward Lin coughed lightly and said, "Now I'm going to call my aunt and grandmother." ”

Chief Steward Zhong was full of sadness and was poured down by a basin of cold water, he secretly glared at Steward Lin, wiped his eyes and asked angrily, "What are you doing again?" ”

"In eight days, there will be hot filial piety, what do you say I am here for?"

One hundred days after Lin Jiang's death, Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin had a hot filial piety, which means that they don't need to wear filial piety clothes anymore, they just need to wear plain clothes in the following days.

Therefore, Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin's clothes have to be changed, although the two of them also had plain clothes before, but they are somewhat non-compliant.

Moreover, the two of them have also grown taller, and their previous clothes are a little shorter.

Clothes to make, shoes of course to make new, all replaced with plain colors, the previous shoes inlaid with pearls and gems and the like are removed, the remade shoes are also plain, and the materials are not too good, so the soles are still comfortable.

Of course, the biggest impact on Lin Qingwan is that they can eat meat!

Although it should be eaten sparingly as a sign of mourning, at least you can taste it once in a while.

Originally, according to the ancient rites, this date should have been maintained until twenty-seven months, and they should live in a thatched hut and sleep on thatch, and there are many rules.

However, this set of rules has long been retreated again and again, and now except for the three years of not being able to marry, and not being able to drink and entertain, other requirements are not big.

It's just that officialdom has particularly strict requirements for filial piety, so officials have to take a leave of absence to observe filial piety for three years, and candidates cannot take scientific examinations during the period of filial piety.

In addition to these, after the heat and filial piety, everyone should do business, study, study, and take care of general affairs.

After the embroidery girls finished their clothes, the time for filial piety came.

Lin Qingwan took off the hairy linen clothes on her body.

The quality of the linen cloth was not very good, and she only used one set to change it, so it was worn out very old in only a hundred days.

She changed into plain clothes in a daze, and said to Bai Mei: "Let's go to the courtyard to burn incense in the evening." ”

Bai Mei twitched the corners of her mouth, didn't she just sacrifice in the ancestral hall just now?

She really couldn't understand why her aunt and grandmother were making private sacrifices in the courtyard at night, almost thinking of the sacrifice, the master could really see it?

Lin Qingwan felt that Lin Jiang must be watching them from the sky, and he might be able to see it when he was sacrificing in the ancestral hall, but surrounded by a house, she always felt that the other party's vision was blocked.

Therefore, it is better to pay tribute under the stars.

This time, Lin Qingwan didn't plan to pay tribute to herself, but called Lin Yubin too.

Lin Yubin was very excited, she knew that her sister-in-law was offering incense in the yard every now and then to pay tribute to her father, and she occasionally sneaked out of the door to do it, but she didn't find any trace of her father, is it because her heart is not sincere enough?

This time, my sister-in-law was finally willing to take her with her.
