Chapter 510: Midyear Festival
Because of the matter of Qian Yuyu, the Qian family and the Lin family got closer, and Mrs. Qian asked Lin Qingwan to go shopping together for several days, and she was also very clever to bring her two daughters and the youngest daughter's son, who was just over a year old.
The two children were of the same age, and they were a little shy when they met, but they played together after a while.
Lin Qingwan was happy to see it, so she accepted Mrs. Qian's invitation and took Lin Wenze out to play with them every day.
Qian Yuyu and Chen Gu's family affairs have been decided, but Lin Qingwan saw that Mrs. Qian's face was always a little sad, and the joy between Miss Qian's eyebrows was getting weaker and weaker day by day, thinking of Qian Yuyu's situation, she found an opportunity to ask, "Is there still a difficulty in the marriage between Miss Qian and Chen Gongzi?" ”
Mrs. Qian glanced at her daughter and sighed: "The county lord doesn't know, there is no problem on Chen Gongzi's side, and the Fujian country will send someone to greet the relatives, but the clan has some complaints because the master withdrew the invitation without authorization, for fear that our Qian family will offend Lord Sun because of this." ”
"Why, they still want to ask for another time?"
"Not really," said Mrs. Qian embarrassedly, "but she just wanted some benefits." ”
Master Qian's branch is a side branch, which is worse than the grandson's branch, in fact, seven years ago, their family only had a small asset, which was far inferior to the grandson's branch.
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, back then, Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian were kind and sent people to help the victims, but they didn't expect to attract displaced people and harm their daughter.
Master Qian was furious because of this, and vaguely found out that there was a shadow of the Zhao family behind him through the Yan branch, so he became angry and tried to be strong, while working hard to manage his own industry, and on the other hand, let Mrs. Qian have a good relationship with Lin Qingwan.
It can be said that Zhao Sheng's business in Suzhou was blocked later, most of it was because of Lin Qingwan, and half of it was because of Master Qian.
Because of this, the two families maintained a relationship that was not far away, but people fell into Lin Qingwan's eyes.
So the development momentum of Master Qian's branch has been good in recent years, but it was last year that really made the Qian family's descendants red.
Lin Qingwan gave the two handwritten letters in his hand to the Qian family and the Sheng family.
The one who was notified by the Qian family to get the handwritten book was Master Qian.
Of course, he couldn't get rich by himself after taking the road guide, he took the clan together, and the Yan branch accounted for a lot of the share, but Master Qian's share was the largest, one percent larger than the Yan branch.
They are in a relationship of mutual dependence, but there is also competition.
Although the Qian family had children studying at this time, there were no officials in the court, and they all agreed that Master Qian would temporarily repent, and if he took back the invitation form, he would definitely offend Sun Huai.
Sun Huai is an observer of Jiangnan, if he gives the Qian family small shoes to wear in the future, can they run away?
So they all blame Master Qian for ignoring the interests of the whole clan for the sake of a daughter, and now he is forcing Master Qian to give up more benefits, or send Qian Yuyu to the Taoist Temple for cultivation.
As for the family affair she just decided, the other party is not from Liang Guo, so she retreated.
There is a kind of momentum that you just didn't invite to the archway, and you have to keep the festival for a lifetime.
Master Qian has been so angry recently, but compared to the whole clan, his strength is too small, and he has been under a lot of pressure recently, so Mrs. Qian also has some on her face.
Lin Qingwan counted the time and asked, "Chen Gongzi and Miss Qian have made up their minds?" ”
"It's just that the eight characters are worth it, and the Geng posts are also exchanged, and both sides have no opinions, just waiting for the auspicious day to be decided."
Lin Qingwan asked, "Did you choose the day of next month?" ”
"Yes, it's hard to make up your mind in July."
July is the Ghost Month, and unless it's special, no one chooses to celebrate in this month.
Lin Qingwan said: "If the two of you don't mind, I will also go and ask for a cup of wine before the Midyear Festival." I'm afraid that the Lin family minds that I'm a lonely person. ”
"How come," Mrs. Qian said with a smile, "It's really my luck to be able to invite the county lord." ”
Dingli is generally only attended by relatives and matchmakers on both sides, Lin Qingwan's appearance is abrupt, but this family affair is closely related to her, and if you count it seriously, she is their matchmaker.
It's a pity that her identity is not good, otherwise there is nothing wrong with simply being a matchmaker for them.
Mrs. Qian knew that Lin Qingwan had the heart to support them, and after she went back, she communicated with Chen Gu, and soon made a decision on the tenth day of the first lunar month, which was very close to the Midyear Festival.
The Qian family's clan disagreed with this family affair, so when Chen Gulai made a decision, almost no one went to the Qian family.
But Lin Qingwan is here.
This street belongs to the Qian family's clan, and Lin Qingwan travels with guards, and someone recognizes it as soon as she appears, so the Qian family knows that Lin Qingwan is here to participate in Qian Yuyu's ceremony.
Several rooms of the Qian family were silent for a while, and then silently asked people to pack some gifts and bring them over to eat and drink.
But there are also indignant people who say in private: "They lost their father when they were in their womb, they lost their mother soon after they were born, they lost their husbands before they got married, and their only brother died young, and their hearts are really big enough to dare to invite such a person to attend the ceremony." ”
"Silence, is this trying to get into trouble? She's something you can talk about, too? ”
But don't say I don't know, I was really shocked when I said it, Lin Qingwan's life seems to be really bad.
Lin Qingwan didn't know this, and went back in style after eating a meal at Qian's house, the Lin family wanted to worship her ancestors during the Midyear Festival, so she had to go back to the old house in advance.
It happened that the Women's School and the Seeking Knowledge Garden were also going on vacation, so Lin Qingwan brought Lin Yubin and Lin Wenze with them.
As for Shang Mingjie, although the Shang family does not open an ancestral hall, they also want to worship their ancestors.
has already abducted his daughter-in-law and son, and he can't be abducted even from him.
Mrs. Shang smiled on her face, she didn't seem to mind at all, and asked Lin Yubin to stay in the old mansion for two more days and have a good time.
The aunt and nephew of the Lin family were not in the city, which made Ji Nian, who had just mustered up the courage to come to the city to meet, pounced on it again.
She silently returned to the small courtyard, planning to find a way to see Lin Qingwan after the Midyear Festival.
She wanted to see for herself what her grandfather had repeatedly praised for her knowledge.
Lin Qingwan didn't know all this, at this time she was leading Lin Wenze to visit the hot spring village, and she was going to take him to the hot spring for a while.
Uncle Zhong is very old, and he doesn't care about anything now, he sits at the door of the old mansion every day, and occasionally talks to people.
Seeing Lin Qingwan come back with Lin Wenze, he happily took out the small windmill and bamboo dragonfly prepared in advance to give it to him, and teased him lovingly.
He knew that this ancestor worship was not ordinary, and it was said to be a Zhongyuan sacrifice, but in fact, it was the first time that the young master had sacrificed his ancestors after his first birthday.
It was supposed to be sacrificed on his first birthday, after all, he was the heir of his grandson, but Lin Qingwan was not there that day, no one mentioned it, and naturally no one would do it.
What Lin Qingwan wants to do now is just to announce Lin Wenze's status again.
On the day of Zhongyuan, the whole Lin clan got up early in the morning to prepare, and Lin Qingwan also took Lin Wenze to the ancestral hall and personally helped him to pay homage to his ancestors.
Without the eighth uncle of the thorn head, no one dared to pick Lin Qingwan and Lin Wenze's ceremony, and the sacrifice was completed smoothly.
After the sacrifice, Lin Qingwan hugged Lin Wenze, who was a little sleepy, out of the ancestral hall and handed him over to Lin Yubin, then turned around and said to Lin Run: "Fifth brother, I will leave in two days, this time I am going to Youzhou, is there any future life in the clan who want to follow him to Youzhou?" ”
Lin Run's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "How long are you going to stay here?" ”
"May at least, a year at most."
Lin Run was surprised, "So long? ”
Lin Qingwan glanced around, revealing a little rumour, "The martial servant who is currently in charge of the mutual market has a good ability, and most of the Li Fan Yuan will be handed over to him in the future." ”
It's to train an heir.
Lin Run's heart moved, and he asked, "Ninth sister, don't you want to be a teacher?" ”
Lin Qingwan smiled: "When you are old, you must always be prepared." ”
Lin Run frowned slightly, "Seventy and Zhishi, how old is the ninth sister?" It's too early to say that. ”
Now that the Lin family needs Lin Qingwan, if she is a leader, it will have too much impact on the Lin family.
Lin Qingwan just smiled.
She didn't know when she would leave, but it was always good to be prepared early.
Lin Run pursed his lips, it was difficult to say too much, but he also secretly paid attention to it.
Lin Qingwan went to Youzhou this time, firstly, because they had changed the emperor and needed to contact the Liao State again, don't think that they could take the opportunity to do something if their old emperor died;
The second is to expand the scale of the mutual market and standardize the mutual market again, so as to make the transaction between the two countries safer and more convenient;
The third is to cultivate Wu Shilang.
After returning from the old mansion, she was busy, in fact, she was not busy when she was serious, and the things were cleaned up by the people, and she had already greeted all parties, so she didn't have to say goodbye again.
But Lin Wenze seemed to know that this aunt and grandmother who played with him every day were leaving, and he was always clinging to her, crying and looking for her as soon as he left his sight.
Lin Qingwan wanted to coax him, but he seemed busy, so he didn't go out again since he came back from the old mansion.
Ji Nian, who has been waiting for a chance encounter in Yipinlou and some places where Lin Qingwan is used to going: "......"
Because Lin Wenze was too clingy, Lin Qingwan didn't dare to let him know the day she left, so she got up early and went out early.
Lin Yubin went to see her off with red eyes, but she was driven back by her when she arrived at the city gate, "Kang'er is about to wake up, if he wakes up, if he doesn't see you, I'm afraid that he will have to make trouble, go back quickly." ”
"Auntie......"
Lin Qingwan smiled and touched her head, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I will return to Suzhou when my aunt arranges the outside affairs." ”
"How can things be arranged outside?"
Lin Qingwan smiled and didn't answer, because she didn't know that what she was doing now was just a matter of duty.
But how to do it well, she doesn't know herself.
This time, there are two juniors of the Lin family who follow her, and their family is not good, so they plan to go to Youzhou to break through.
Originally, Lin Qingwan didn't mention it, they were also looking for an opportunity to ask Lin Chuan to take them with them, they didn't have the money to invest in their business, but they could follow them to Youzhou like a buddy.
But it's naturally better to go with Jiugu.
So after they got the news from the patriarch, they used the family's money to buy a lot of tea, and brought the silk woven by the family, leaving only some money for food and lodging.
But after they actually got on the road, they found that they didn't need to spend the money at all, because Jiugu had all arranged it.
They just need to take care of their stuff and take care of themselves.
