Chapter 210: Together
Steward Lin and Steward Zhong are not young, so Lin Qingwan didn't take them, but chose Lin An to follow. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā
There are also stings and Gu Yulin Qingwan to bring, in addition, there are only her and Lin Yubin's close attendants and a few rough mothers-in-law in the yard.
Lin Qingwan quickly set up the accompanying personnel, she took Lin Yubin with her, first, she was not worried that she would be out of her sight for too long, and second, she had to bring a lot of guards into Beijing, and the protection force around her was bound to weaken.
Who knows if those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will pop up when she leaves?
There is nothing in this world that is more important than Lin Yubin's safety.
After deciding on the candidates, everyone began to pack their luggage, and she took the time to tell Chief Steward Zhong and Fang Datong, "Not a single grain of newly harvested grain is allowed to be taken out, wait for my handiletter." ”
He also said: "If there is something in the other courtyard that you can't decide, then go to the patriarch." ”
Lin Qingwan also asked Lin Run to take more care of the other hospital.
Lin Run didn't agree with her entering Beijing, "Now you don't know if You'er lives or dies, if something happens to you......"
Compared with Lin You, Lin Qingwan is obviously more important to the Lin family now.
Lin Qingwan shook her head slightly and said: "I entered Beijing this time not only for Lin You, fifth brother, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention, it is my friend who is on the front line." ”
Lin Run sighed, "I can't stop you, be more careful along the way." ”
He was silent and said, "It's better to leave Yubin behind, she's a little girl, what's the use of you taking it?" ”
Maybe it will become a drag and weakness for her.
Lin Qingwan smiled and said, "She's not young anymore, so I just took this opportunity to take her to see the world now." ”
She didn't worry about leaving Lin Yubin here.
Thinking that she had to take Lin Yubin to Yangzhou last year in addition to filial piety, Lin Run shook his head, and he didn't understand her behavior of taking Lin Yubin with her wherever she went.
No matter how dangerous Suzhou is, it is also in the territory of the Lin family, can it be more dangerous than outside?
Lin Yubin was picked up from the school with an ignorant face, and when he got home, he saw that everyone was packing up their things in full swing, so he hurriedly ran to Lin Qingwan, "Auntie, are you going to go far away?" ”
"It's not me, it's us!" Lin Qingwan was rummaging through the cabinets to find a gift for the emperor, but found that there was nothing special to show her hand to, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "We want to go to Beijing to congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday, but let's not talk about the birthday gift, we have to go to Beijing to meet the emperor and the queen, how to prepare this greeting gift?" ”
Lin Yubin looked at the warehouse that was turned into a mess by his aunt, and was silent for a while: "Even if it is a meeting gift, it would be good if there was no mistake......
This is what her aunt taught her, why did she forget it at this time?
Lin Qingwan shook her head and said, "No, you have to be a little more novel." ”
Lin Yubin didn't ask why, but thought for a while: "Auntie, didn't you let the bookstore burn a lot of clay characters, why don't you have someone pick up a set of "Analects" and send it to Beijing?" ”
Lin Qingwan looked at Lin Yubin in surprise.
Lin Yubin pursed his lips and said timidly: "You didn't say that this thing is not easy to promote, but if someone wants to learn, are you actually willing to make it public?" So I thought it would be better to dedicate it to Your Majesty. But it's not good to give gifts to Your Majesty for no reason, now is the right time......"
She could see that her aunt had something to ask Her Majesty, otherwise why would her aunt, who didn't want to enter Beijing before, suddenly be so eager to leave?
Looking at the clear Lin Yubin, Lin Qingwan reached out and touched her head with relief, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot about movable type printing, what you said is right, this gift is just right." ”
Movable type printing appeared in the Song Dynasty in her history, but it was not valued by the superiors, first, printing is a monopoly industry, and the controllers do not like change; In the long run, the cost of movable type printing is indeed very low, but in the short term, it is the most cost-effective engraving; The third is the problem of supply and demand, there are few people in the world who read, and movable type printing is not in line with the interests of the time.
It was not until the Ming Dynasty that movable type printing was taken seriously, and it was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that movable type printing flourished.
Now the Liang is in the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the Lin family engaged in movable type printing, in the past ten years, it is also a loss-making business, ten years later, unless there is a big change in supply and demand, otherwise it will still lose money.
Therefore, Lin Qingwan only asked the craftsmen to burn clay characters, carve wooden characters, and ponder various movable types in their spare time, but they were not put into use.
It's the equivalent of spending money on this research and not expecting it to be rewarded.
The bookstore soon sent two sets of movable type, one set of clay movable type and one set of wooden movable type.
Lin Qingwan reached out and touched it, and asked people to cover the box, she knew that this thing might not be taken much seriously if it was handed over, but she finally had an excuse to see the emperor, and she just pushed the thing out.
As for the future, it depends on the will of God.
Lin Qingwan asked Lin Yubin to pack some things he wanted to bring, "We don't know how long we will stay in the capital this time, but the Mid-Autumn Festival will definitely be over the Mid-Autumn Festival, you bring more things you like, so as not to get used to the capital." ”
Lin Yubin turned around, "But I want to bring a lot, how can I clean up in just one night?" ”
Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "Just collect your most important things, and make a list for Mama Lin for the rest, and they will pack it up slowly, and then enter Beijing later." ”
Lin Yubin finally couldn't help it and asked, "Auntie, why are we in such a hurry to enter Beijing?" ”
Lin Qingwan sighed, they didn't publicize the return of Shang Mingjie and Zhou Tong, after all, it was too involved.
So recently, Shang Mingjie and Zhou Tong were locked up at home to recuperate, and she naturally didn't tell Lin Yubin that this child went out to play with his classmates as soon as he got out of school recently, and when he came back, he mostly stayed in the study and tossed, and she specially ordered the people in Zhuangzi to keep their mouths shut, and no one mentioned it in front of Lin Yubin.
So this kid didn't know that Shang Mingjie was back.
After thinking about it, Lin Qingwan told her the truth, looked at her surprised expression and whispered: "I don't know how this fact is, so I have to keep it a secret." ”
Lin Yubin bit his lip and asked, "He, second cousin is okay, right?" ”
Lin Qingwan smiled, "He came back alive, what can he do?" It's your cousin who has something to do now. ”
Lin Yubin was also worried, there were so many cousins in the clan, she was the most familiar with Lin You.
"Okay, let's go down and pack our bags, and we'll leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning."
Lin Yubin was in no mood to pack up his things, and handed over everything to Yingyan and Birong, and he was worried for half a night, tossing and turning.
Lin Qingwan just can't see it, if this time the entry into Beijing goes well, it would be best for her to cut off contact with Shang Mingjie, maybe she can find her good fate in the capital?
Lin Qingwan planned very well, but as soon as they went to the official road, they saw Shang Mingjie and Zhou Tong with a smile on their faces.
Shang Mingyuan and Shang Danlan stood quietly aside.
Lin Qingwan: ......
Shang Mingjie took the initiative to step forward to salute, "Aunt Lin, we are also going to Beijing for a scientific expedition, so it's better to go together." ”
Lin Qingwan glanced at the guards behind them and frowned slightly, "Your grandmother and mother have agreed?" ”
Zhou Tong raised his chin and said, "Of course, my grandmother and mother are reasonable, and the imperial examination is a big deal, how could they not agree?" ”
Shang Mingjie, Shang Mingjie lowered his head, his mother didn't agree, but in the end, he also came out.
Lin Qingwan glanced back at the carriage, and when she saw that the curtain moved slightly, she sighed in her heart, maybe this is fate.
She nodded, "In that case, let's go together." ”
Zhou Tingshi has assigned a lot of guards to his son, and now he is busy raising military rations, so he has no time to send his son.
Mrs. Zhou wanted to send it, but Mrs. Zhou was worried that she would cry on the spot, which would not look good in front of Lin Qingwan.
So I didn't let her send it, let alone the Shang family.
Mrs. Shang is still angry, but Mrs. Shang is old, she had a fight with her daughter-in-law, and her spirit was a little short, Shang Mingjie said that she didn't let her go out of anything.
So in the end, it turned out to be his cousin and sister who came to see him off, Shang Mingjie is no longer Wuxia Ameng, he already knew about the disputes in the family, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed of his cousin.
Shang Mingyuan doesn't care about this, he has seen this younger brother since he was a child, can he still understand him?
He happily stepped forward to greet Lin Qingwan, and asked her to take care of Shang Mingjie more.
Danlan went to Lin Yubin and sighed: "I said that I would go to Nanshan Temple when you were resting, but I didn't expect you to leave today." ”
Lin Yubin peeked at Shang Mingjie through her shoulder, and saw that he was standing upright, not looking like he was injured, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she softly comforted Shang Danlan and said: "It's not that I won't come back, it's as short as two months, and as long as March or April, we will meet again." ”
Shang Danlan's eyes flashed with a faint envy, she had never been out of Suzhou since she was so old, "My sister is a blessed person." ”
Lin Yubin opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her, her eyes swept to Zhou Tong, who was secretly looking at this side, she couldn't help but be happy, lying by the window and squeezing her eyebrows, "My sister will be very blessed in the future." ”
Shang Danlan turned her head to look at her gaze, and saw Zhou Tong twist her head to the side with a "swish", she twitched the corner of her mouth, glanced at the cousin next to him, and saw that he was looking at this side in a daze, so she said: "My sister has Aunt Lin here, and her blessing will definitely be greater than mine." ”
Let's just say that her cousin's heart for her is rare in the world.
Lin Yubin pursed his lips and didn't speak.
"Okay, the world is almost over," Lin Qingwan couldn't see their slimy appearance, and got on the carriageway: "We're about to set off." ”
Shang Mingjie retracted his gaze and said to Shang Mingyuan: "Big brother, the family depends on you more, and grandmother is old, you can take care of it more." ”
"Second brother, don't worry, I will take care of the family, and you have to be careful."
Zhou Tong also withdrew his gaze from a distance and looked at Shang Danlan.
Shang Danlan hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and said: "Although I don't understand your affairs, I also know that it will be very dangerous to go to the capital here, you, take care of yourself, and come back safely." ”
Unlike the three families of Lin Zhoulu and the Shang family, the news of the Shang family could not be concealed at all, although the second lady of Shang did not hype it up, but Shang Danlan still knew that Shang Mingjie came back halfway to ask for help, they seemed to have caused trouble outside, and now the children of the Lin family and the Lu family are still outside and have not been recovered.
I don't know if there will be anyone chasing them on the road.
Shang Danlan thought for a while, gave him a bag that had been prepared in his arms, and said in a low voice: "This is the wound medicine I asked the doctor at home to dispense, you can take it with you, it may be useful." ”
Zhou Tong held the bag that was only the size of his palm, and he could feel that there were two bottles in it when he touched it, he couldn't help but clench it slightly, looked at Shang Danlan and said, "I will come back safely." ”
Shang Danlan's face was slightly red, and she raised her eyes to look at him, and Zhou Tong looked at her bright eyes in a daze.
Shang Mingyuan, who had been looking at the sky and the earth on the side, couldn't help but cough lightly twice, interrupting their gaze and saying, "Okay, let's start quickly." ”
