Lin Qingwan smiled, nodded the table and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I bought a batch of sheep last year and raised them for half a year, which is the time to slaughter." Now most of them are sold, but there is still a small half left, and it is not easy for the fathers and villagers in Suzhou to pity our aunt and nephew, so they have added a lot. ”

"It's just that we don't like white-collar people, so we always have to thank one or two. Our aunt and nephew still wear filial piety, and it is not good to be a guest at the door, and it is not dignified to send a steward, so I want to borrow your brother from the old lady. ”

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "When the time comes, you can help me give some gifts and entertain for me." ”

Shang Mingyuan was stunned, "Who are they?" ”

"The Qian family in the west of the city, oh, and the history of Zhou Thorn, he also added a lot." Lin Qingwan said: "These two are the most important, so you need to go in person." ”

This year, because of the war in the Southern Han Dynasty, the price of grain skyrocketed, and the meat was unsalable, except for those whose families were really wealthy, few people dared to take out their money to buy meat to eat.

So Lin Qingwan's batch of sheep this year is a bit unsalable.

And the big family has always had its own purchase channels, and it will not change easily, so the Qian family and the Zhou family, who are not deep, will find the Lin family to take sheep.

In this matter, Zhou Thorn Shi really helped her a lot, not only did her own mutton buy from here, but also recommended it to her subordinates, plus the Qian family's generous purchase, and most of the unsalable sheep went to her.

After a year, they added another batch, which barely consumed the adult sheep, otherwise she would not have made much money without losing money on the sheep.

Originally, she planned to choose a nephew from the clan to help run errands, but since she wanted to find an excuse for Shang Mingjie to stay overnight, so be it.

Lin Qingwan told Shang Mingyuan, "You go to Zhou Tingshi's house first, and then go to Qian's house, you don't have to rush back and see what their family says." I'll bring Gu Yu to you two brothers. ”

Shang Mingyuan responded happily, this errand is good, but it is a white connection. Not to mention the history of Zhou Ting, the Qian family is also a big businessman and is also famous in Suzhou.

In the future, he will definitely deal with each other when doing business.

When he went out and saw Gu Yu, a spirit came back to his senses, what about Erlang?

Didn't you say you wanted to go with him?

He looked around, looked at Gu Yu suspiciously, and asked, "What about the second cousin young master?" ”

Gu Yu smiled, "The eldest young master will go first, and the second young master will always come." ”

This will always be that he can't see the figure all the time, Shang Mingyuan is not stupid, he is gradually coming back to his senses, no wonder, Aunt Lin has no shortage of nephews, why do you have to ask him to come and pick up the bargain for nothing, it turned out to be for the second brother?

Thinking of the family affair that the two families almost agreed, he smiled knowingly, and no longer asked Shang Mingjie's whereabouts, but did his errand with his heart.

Aunt Lin will never eat the second brother, but let him help cover it up in the Shang family, which is not difficult.

Shang Mingyuan went to Zhou's house first, and then went to Qian's house and didn't come out, followed a few gentlemen of the Qian family to push cups and help the lamp, and simply rested at Qian's house at night.

Gu Yu, who followed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and went over the words of the Qian family's old and young masters in his heart, and then stopped.

And Lin Qingwan and the three of them in the other courtyard were staying up late with the lights.

Bai Feng turned the lamp brighter, and seeing that his aunt and grandmother didn't have the slightest appearance of wanting to rest, he couldn't help but look at Bai Mei anxiously.

Bai Mei thought about it, went to the kitchen to bring Lin Qingwan a bowl of soup, and whispered: "Auntie, the eldest lady and the second cousin haven't slept yet." ”

Lin Qingwan came back to her senses at this time, turned her head to look at the hourglass, and Bai Mei immediately said, "It's already time." ”

Lin Qingwan turned her neck and spread the copied paper on the table, "Go and let them rest, and copy it tomorrow." ”

Bai Mei got the word and immediately turned away.

Bai Feng immediately asked the girl to bring water to wash her, and helped Lin Qingwan spread her hair, "Grandma, I'll press it for you in a while." ”

"It's fine."

Bai Mei personally came to tell Lin Yubin to rest, how dare they indulge them again?

immediately stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't be in a hurry, if you burn your body, the gains outweigh the losses, and your aunt and grandmother will be angry if they know." ”

Lin Yubin glanced at the remaining notes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "If you have this speed tomorrow, you will definitely be able to copy it, but it's just another ......."

Bi Rong smiled and said: "The eldest lady doesn't know, my aunt and grandmother copied it much faster than you, I heard that half of it has already been copied." ”

Shang Mingjie exclaimed, "So fast? ”

Lin Yubin proudly raised his chin and said, "This is not a trivial matter to my aunt." ”

Shang Mingjie couldn't help but purse his lips and smile when he saw her proud little appearance, "You're right." ”

The two of them simply cleaned up the table, and then said goodbye and went back to their rooms.

Shang Mingjie lay on the bed in the guest room and breathed a long sigh of relief, and his cousin finally looked better at him.

The three aunts and nephews copied most of the day the next day, and finally copied the book before sunset, and handed it to Bai Mei and Yingyan to sew up, only then did they rub their eyes and feel a little sour.

Shang Mingjie didn't dare to stay longer, he didn't return home at night, and he didn't know if there was a disturbance at home.

Lin Qingwan smiled at him and said, "Don't spread the news about you copying notes at my house, I have already covered it up for you, you just have to follow your eldest brother back." ”

Shang Mingjie was stunned, "How did my aunt cover it up for me?" ”

"Don't ask, listen to your eldest brother." Let's let people send him to Huanchun Tower, Shang Mingyuan and several Lang Jun of the Qian family have already transferred to Huanchun Tower.

Seeing Shang Mingjie, Shang Mingyuan smiled and introduced him to several Langjun of the Qian family, and then pulled him to drink a few glasses of wine, and made an excuse to pull Shang Mingjie to leave.

Several Langjun of the Qian family also felt that through the friendship of one day and one night, the friendship between the two sides had been consolidated, so they generously let them go.

Shang Mingyuan pulled the confused Shang Mingyuan over, and asked him with a wink, "Tell me honestly, what did you do last night?" ”

Shang Mingjie looked at him strangely and said, "I'm in the Lin family's courtyard." ”

Shang Mingyuan's face was even more ambiguous, "What are you doing in another courtyard?" ”

Shang Mingjie understood his hint, and couldn't help but look straight and said, "Big brother, don't speculate, I'm helping Aunt Lin copy the book." ”

Shang Mingyuan was stunned, "Copying books? ”

Naturally, he would not doubt Shang Mingjie's words, his second brother was quite a gentleman's stupidity, and he would not lie.

He scratched his head and asked, "What kind of book did you copy, so important, that you had to copy it overnight?" ”

Shang Mingjie said with a straight face: "I promised Aunt Lin not to tell the third person." ”

Shang Mingyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, he knew.

He grabbed Shang Mingjie's hand and went to the carriage, saying, "Let's go, go home first and say hello to the old lady." After I go back, I don't talk much, let alone copy books, do you know? ”

Shang Mingjie nodded, "Aunt Lin asked me to listen to you." ”

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Big brother, you, why are you ......?"

"How do you help Aunt Lin do things?" Shang Mingyuan glanced at him, I will tell you that I am going to cooperate with Aunt Lin to get your mother and your uncle's house?

He coughed lightly and said seriously: "I have been in the Lin family for a while, and my uncle is equivalent to my father to me, can I not help if you say that Aunt Lin has something?" Not to mention that it's not a big deal. ”

Shang Mingjie looked at him suspiciously, if he had done it before, he would definitely not have doubted his eldest brother's words, but he had experienced a lot during this time, although it was very subtle, he still felt that his eldest brother was not telling the truth.

He lowered his eyes and thought about it, and felt that it was not good to expose the eldest brother, no matter what the eldest brother was, in short, the ending was good, wasn't it?

Shang Mingjie obediently followed Shang Mingyuan into the carriage and went home.

Mrs. Shang Er was worshipping the Buddha in the Buddha Hall, and she didn't know that her son followed Shang Mingyuan to the Lin family's courtyard to help until someone secretly came to report this morning.

Because Lin Qingwan personally sent someone to invite him, Mrs. Shang didn't suspect much, but was angry that the Lin family delayed her son's schooling.

I was unhappy, so I brought some with me when I came out of the Buddhist hall.

But Mrs. Shang was very happy, and pulled her two grandsons in front of her and said with a smile: "It is not easy for your Aunt Lin to take your cousin to live, you can help more." If you can't do it, come back and tell your grandmother, and she will send someone to help you. ”

The two obediently bowed their heads and responded.

Old Madam Shang asked curiously, "Your Aunt Lin only said that she wanted to ask your brother to run errands, but she didn't know what to do." ”

Shang Mingyuan said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just to go to the Zhou family and the Qian family to thank you." ”

"Grandmother, you don't know, it's hard to sell meat outside this year, didn't Aunt Lin's Zhuangzi raise a batch of sheep last year, the Zhou family and the Qian family bought a batch a year ago, and bought another batch after this year, and directly wrapped the remaining sheep in the Zhuangzi, Aunt Lin knew that they were specially helping her, so she was grateful and wanted to thank her."

Shang Mingyuan coaxed the old lady and said, "It's just that Aunt Lin and her cousin are not easy to go out, and she has a little bit with the Lin clan, so I thought of our brother." ”

Old Madam Shang was really happy when she heard this, and said with a smile: "That's because she values you, and you will go to run more errands for her in the future." Especially Da Lang, you have been raised by your uncle and aunt for a period of time, and you have been very kind, but you can't forget the kindness of the Lin family. ”

"Grandmother don't worry, grandchildren remember it in their hearts."

Old Madam Shang was relieved, and thought with a long sigh of relief, it seems that even if the incident a few years ago is over, Lin Qingwan is young and will not hold a grudge for too long, she still has to rely on the Shang family.

Shang Mingjie secretly raised his eyes to look at his grandmother, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his head to retreat with his eldest brother.

Mrs. Shang immediately stopped him, "You are already a day late today, and you will go to study early tomorrow, I will ask people to prepare a generous gift and make amends to your husband." ”

Shang Mingjie bowed his head and responded.

Old Madam Shang frowned slightly, and the smile on her face was faint, "Second daughter-in-law, how are the scriptures I asked you to copy, I am going to the temple to offer incense on the second day of February, and I want to offer incense to your father-in-law." ”

Mrs. Shang Er lowered her head and said softly: "It's almost copied, mother don't worry, I won't miss the time." ”

Old Madam Shang bowed slightly, "That's good, the affairs of the family are handed over to Mingyuan's daughter-in-law, you can copy the scriptures with peace of mind." ”

Mrs. Shang's second wife was about to tear her handkerchief, but she still responded with a smile on her face.
