Steward Lin lowered his head, and the hostility towards Lin Yong in his heart rose another level, reaching the highest level. His master has always been gentle, and if he hadn't provoked him, he would never have shown such malice.

So what exactly did Lin Yong do?

Steward Lin didn't ask in detail, but turned around and asked the girl to reduce half of the amount of medicine when she boiled the medicine, and Lin Yong's illness was dragged on intermittently.

Dr. Xu also pondered it after seeing the doctor twice, prescribed the same prescription as before, and told some words such as "take a good rest and relax your mind" and patted his ass and left.

Two days later, not only was the final payment paid at the auction paid, but the goods in the various stores were also cleaned up and resold to the people who took over the stores at cost price.

The Lin family's money was piled up in the five large houses of Wutong Garden, which were guarded by the loyal servants of the Lin family, and guarded by soldiers sent by Lin Jiang outside.

Because the Lin family is well known to have a lot of money, there is a post outside the Lin Mansion, and Lin Jiang used the identity of an observer to transfer the garrison of Yangzhou to protect it. Even if there is a small night, the Lin Mansion that is surrounded here can only retreat.

Lin Qingwan only slept for less than three hours for three consecutive nights, and as soon as the matter was completed, her body was a little unbearable, so she slept until three o'clock in the morning. didn't know that her prestige had spread all over Yangzhou and began to fly to the states south of the Yangtze River.

"This eldest lady of the Lin family is really powerful, she sold such a big family business by herself, and she didn't panic when she got millions of taels of silver, but she was as capable as her brother."

"In the end, if you are born in the Lin family, you are weaker, and your skills will not be bad."

"There is still courage, I heard that this opening warehouse relief is her idea, so much food, it will be dispersed."

"No wonder Lord Lin dares to give her his home, I think even if the long house has no heirs, it will not fall."

"Tsk, not necessarily, no matter how powerful this Miss Lin is, she has no descendants in the Lin family's house after a hundred years, what can she do if she is not defeated?"

"It may not be that there will be no descendants," someone lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the Lin family intends to give the long house a step-heir, and if not, Lord Lin still has a daughter, so he can sit on the birth and recruit money." ”

"The long house is going to pass the heir, Lord Lin has already passed away, why wait until now?" Someone disagreed, "As for recruitment, if it was possible before, now that the Lin family's industry has been astigmatized, which family's Xiaolangjun will be willing to come to the door?" After all, it's the Lin family's long-term family, so you can't just pull one person on the street like ordinary people, right? ”

"Yes, even if the identity is poor, it must be from the scholar family, otherwise the Lin family will be so embarrassed."

These gossips slowly drifted out of Yangzhou and flew to Suzhou, Shang Mingjie first heard these gossips from his family school, saying that his cousin was going to be recruited, and he didn't know who had the blessing to marry Cousin Lin.

Shang Mingjie couldn't sit still anymore, and when he went home, he pestered the old lady to go to Yangzhou.

"My uncle has been sick for a while, but the letter written by my eldest brother is not clear, grandmother, you can let me go to Yangzhou to have a look."

The old lady was still angry about Lin Jiang's refusal to marry her two children, and said with a straight face: "If you want to study, how can you have time to go?" Your eldest brother is always more stable than you, what is there to worry about with him in Yangzhou? ”

Shang Mingjie pursed his lips and said: "Grandmother, I still want to ask my uncle some homework, although the gentleman in the family study is good, but compared with my uncle, there are many questions that Mr. can't answer, he will only blindly let me understand by myself." But there are some questions that I don't understand, and no matter how many times I read them, I don't know half of them, which is really uncomfortable. ”

When it came to Shang Mingjie's homework, the old lady hesitated, "But your uncle is sick, how can you work him again?" ”

"It's just to talk to my uncle, it won't bother him too much, and my uncle's house has a lot more books than ours, maybe you can still see my uncle's previous manuscripts, which is a hard-to-find thing."

Lin Jiang used to be the first genius in Jiangnan, and later went to the capital and was also very famous, I heard that several sons of the Fan Yang Lu family were not as good as him. It would be nice to have his advice.

The old lady thought about it for a while, but she had a grudge in her heart.

A long time ago, she wanted to marry Mingjie and Yubin's two children, but Lin Jiang and her daughter used to think that the two children were small and there was no need to worry, so they declined.

She was not in a hurry, thinking that they would get along with each other and mention it when they grew up.

Later, her daughter left before her, and let her white-haired person send black-haired people, and she couldn't help but feel sad that Yubin wanted to keep filial piety, so she didn't mention it again, thinking that she would wait until she was filial piety.

As a result, before Yubin came out of Xiaolinjiang, he was seriously ill again. At this time, the marriage of the two children was completely for the sake of him and Yubin.

She wanted to give Yubin a place to rely on, and also let Lin Jiang go at ease.

The Lin clan is a side branch, and the bloodline is far away, so instead of handing over the property to them for safekeeping, it is better to hand it over to the Shang family for safekeeping.

After all, the Shang family is still Yubin's foreign family, and she will not be allowed to suffer.

As if he was obsessed, Lin Jiang sold all his properties and donated them to the imperial court.

Mingyuan wrote to say that Lin Jiang was only for the public, but she had lived for decades longer, and she could clearly understand that Lin Jiang was guarding against the Shang family.

What is a piece of Dan's heart, but he is afraid that the industry will not be good in the hands of the Lin clan monks, so he would rather disperse than leave it to Yubin.

Looking at his series of actions, I'm afraid that the only thing he can trust now is his sister.

The old lady never thought about moving Yubin's inheritance, so when she saw her son-in-law guarding her like this, she couldn't help but be annoyed, and she didn't even want to read the letter sent by Yangzhou in the past two days.

But looking at the coquettish grandson who held her arm, and then thought about the weak granddaughter, the old lady could only suppress her anger and said: "Okay, don't shake, grandmother will answer you, but you are not allowed to make your uncle angry when you go to Yangzhou, you have to listen to your eldest brother." Your cousin is bitter, you have to be more considerate and don't bully him. ”

He said, "Go and talk to your mother, don't let her worry." ”

The old lady said this with sarcasm in her eyes, she understood the thoughts of the second daughter-in-law best, and she persuaded and begged bitterly before, so that the other party agreed to the marriage of the next two children.

But she knew in her heart that the other party was only afraid of the industries behind Yubin.

So after Mingyuan's letter came back, Zhao even forgot to pretend, his face turned black on the spot, and he stayed in the Buddhist hall after that, and he didn't come out easily, but as soon as he came out, he had a seizure.

The old lady felt that the reason why her son-in-law was so wary of the Shang family was because of the Zhao family, and she didn't know if the son-in-law guessed the Zhao family's attitude and behavior, so she would rather sell the property than leave it to Yubin.

So at this time, the old lady was both annoyed by Lin Jiang and hated the Zhao family.

Shang Mingjie didn't know that the old lady was still angry, so he had already cheered and trotted away.

At this time, Lin Qingwan just got up from the bed and looked at the sun hanging high outside, and then touched her empty belly.

Bai Mei brought the little girl in with her washing things, and Bai Feng found clothes for Lin Qingwan, and the two of them took care of Lin Qingwan in an orderly manner.

Both of them are Lin Jiang's big girls to Lin Qingwan, and they didn't work in the Lin Mansion before, but served in the old mansion in Suzhou.

Originally, the two of them were prepared for Yubin's companion room, so the rules were from elementary school, and they also knew some words and knew some arithmetic, thinking that they could be the housekeeper for Yubin if they followed Yubin to their mother-in-law's house, so they were trained very carefully.

But Lin Qingwan came, and Sister Wan'er's previous personal girls Lichun and Lixia were not good to stay by her side anymore, so as not to find out the clues.

When she first woke up, she was weak, and every day she either lay in bed to recuperate or look at the belongings of the Lin Mansion, understand various situations, learn local customs with Lin Jiang, and she would wear whatever clothes Lichun and Lixia brought her, and she would eat whatever she fed, almost without commenting.

So the first two months have passed.

But then Lin Qingwan began to take over the affairs of the Lin family, and also began to deal with the Lin family's industry, saying too much, and doing too much, he couldn't help but show his feet, so Lin Jiang asked people to count Baimei and Baifeng from Suzhou before, and replaced Lichun and Lixia.

As for Lichun and Lixia, they were sent home on a blind date, whether they wanted to let go or continue to stay in the Lin family, Lin Jiang and Lin Qingwan followed them.

Because they are the best with Sister Wan, and they are also very dedicated to taking care of Sister Wan, Lin Jiang and Lin Qingwan are unwilling to wronged them.

Bai Mei combed Lin Qingwan's hair and said in a low voice: "Sister Lichun and Sister Lixia are here, waiting in the ear room, do you want to see them?" ”

Lin Qingwan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are they here, but what happened?" ”

Bai Feng's hand was making the bed, and he turned his head to stop talking.

Bai Mei said with a smile: "They said that they missed their master, so they came to say goodbye to their master." ”

Lin Qingwan saw Bai Feng's movements through the bronze mirror, and asked with a light smile: "Bai Feng, have you walked around with Lichun and Lixia, can you guess why they came?" ”

Bai Mei lowered her eyes and combed Lin Qingwan's hair seriously, Bai Feng glanced at Bai Mei, bit her lip and said, "Miss, I heard that their family is going to marry them, but it's just that family ......matter."

She paused and said, "It's not bad, but there are always flaws." Sister Lichun's family set a good household for her, because the lord had something to say first, if Sister Lichun was unwilling to stay in the Lin family, then the Lin family would let go of the good, and the money would not be redeemed, and a pair of makeup would be accompanied. Sister Lichun's family is planning to let the whole family go, and I estimate that their family's savings are not much, so I also pointed to Sister Lichun's dowry and dowry. ”

"Who is the man?"

"It's the second son of the shopkeeper of the oil shop on East Street, the family is rich, but his second son is a bit stupid, but he is still playing on the street every day like a child, and when he is hungry, he grabs something and stuffs it into his mouth."

Bai Feng said again: "Sister Lixia's family also has a shortage of family affairs for her, that man is a butcher, and he is still married for the second time. ”

Lin Qingwan frowned, "Why are you in such a hurry, Lichun and Lixia are both good girls, not only can they needlework, but they can also settle accounts, and they can marry a small landlord in the countryside." ”

Bai Feng blurted out, "It's not to stay in Yangzhou." ”

Lin Qingwan was stunned for a while before she remembered the law she had flipped some time ago, and it seemed that the slaves and maids who had been released could not stay in the local area, and they would either be sent back to their hometowns, or they would have to go to Kuandi, that is, a vast and sparsely populated place.

If you want to stay in the local area, you must either have an industry or have a local hukou to settle down.

Although the Lin family is generous, allowing the good subordinates to take away their luggage, not to redeem the silver, and to pay a certain amount of severance pay, but these money want to run an industry in Yangzhou is tantamount to ascending to the sky.

And the Lin family has a lot of good people this time, there are more monks and less porridge, and even the price of the field shop has been speculated, is this someone who wants to take the wrong path?
