In the daily work, the days pass quickly.

The winter snow in the north is particularly severe, and recently there was a heavy snowstorm, and the old locust tree at the entrance of the village was completely crushed.

Lin Changge, who often came out to collect firewood, noticed early that the tree was about to break, and after the tree was broken, he was the first to take an axe, and together with Chang'an, he quietly split a few petals of the tree and pulled it to a place far away from the village.

"Sister, what are we doing here? Why don't you take the tree home."

"What are you going to do with it? The firewood I collect on weekdays is enough for my family. The two pulled the tree far away, took the axe to chop firewood, Changge said while chopping firewood: "We can chop the tree and sell it for money, I heard that there is a firewood collector in the town, and the price is especially expensive in winter, how can such a big tree make dozens of dollars."

Lin Changge calculated the days, she has been here for almost two months, and she has not made a penny so far.

Of course, she doesn't expect to sell firewood to make money* for her own purposes, so she can add some food to the second room.

The cold wind blew in gusts, and she and Chang'an dragged firewood, walking in the snow one foot deep and one foot shallow, shivering from the cold.

I think that she was a proper rich woman both inside and outside the palace, and the clothes and materials were always the most prosperous in Beijing.

The two of them were busy for most of the noon, and Changge said to Chang'an: "Chang'an, does anyone in our village have an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart?" ”

Chang'an thought for a while and said, "The village chief's family has an ox cart, but their family doesn't easily lend it to others. ”

......That's right. Suddenly remembering something, Chang'an said: "Lin Yanchen outside the village has a carriage at home, and it is close to here...... However, it seems that it is more difficult to borrow than the village chief's house. ”

But Lin Changge was cheeky, and said to Chang'an: "You bring some firewood home first, and when you go home, tell your grandmother that I saw a hare, and I ran after the rabbit and disappeared." ”

"Sister, you...... You're not going to go to town on your own, are you? ”

"yes, if we both go missing, we won't be crazy when we go home!"

No way! I'm not at ease! ”

Changge pinched Chang'an's white jade-like face and said, "Sister is going with someone, it's okay." Wait for my sister to come back and bring you something delicious! After finishing speaking, she went directly to the direction of Lin Yanchen's house, Chang'an couldn't stop her, and she was a little worried about how to lie to the Zhao family when she went back.

Lin Changge came to the door of Lin Yanchen's house, and couldn't help but sigh, this Lin Yanchen's house is really not as good as the people in the village, the house is built of bricks and tiles, blue bricks and tiles, but it is not publicized, the decoration is very simple, but it is still elegant, it is in this frost and snow to stand on its own, it seems lonely.

Lin Changge stepped forward and knocked on the door, the quaint wooden door opened from the inside, and it was Aunt Lan who opened the door, and when Aunt Lan saw that it was the daughter of the Lin family, her face was a little wrong: "Is there something wrong with the girl?" ”

Lin Changge put on a harmless smile and said, "I'm here to ask Mrs. for a favor." ”

Aunt Lan saw that she didn't seem to have come with a purpose, and remembered that day in the Lin family, this girl didn't make any moves towards Lin Yanchen, and seemed to be quite bullied.

Now Lin Changge's little face was red and purple from the cold, and it looked pitiful, Aunt Lan said, "Come into the house and say." ”

Lin Yanchen's house is no better than his own, clean and spacious, the courtyard is planted with red plums, proudly blooming in the snow, and the bloom is extremely bright.

In the hall, the copper stove is burning very brightly, and the tables and chairs are new and exquisite.

I saw Lin Yanchen sitting on the Taishi chair, his long hair tied up at will, the two strands of hair on his forehead fell down, and his side face became more and more clear.

Dressed in a blue-gray cotton shirt, wearing a fur coat and sitting precariously, the young man was as handsome and tall as a green pine, and he was reading carefully with a book at the moment.

Lin Changge admitted that he was blinded by beauty for a moment, and Lin Changgong also had one of this long shirt, but Lin Changge had never found anything special about this dress earlier, but now he is wearing it for another person, and it looks so good.

However, Lin Changge quickly closed her gaze, because she knew that Aunt Lan was very taboo for these rural village girls to defile Lin Yanchen, and letting her come in could only show that the people were well educated.

And Lin Yanchen just raised his head slightly and glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued to read the book.

After Aunt Lan asked Lin Changge to sit down, she said directly: "What is the matter with Miss Lin coming to our house?" ”

"That's right, I want to go to town, and I want to borrow your carriage."

"This ......" Aunt Lan was a little embarrassed: "This carriage is our family's young ...... Our family Yanchen went to the town to use, what did the girl use it for? ”

Lin Changge replied obediently: "I want to go to the town to sell some things, but I can't help it, I heard that Lin Gongzi often goes to the town, so I want to ask you to help me with this and take me for a ride." Lin Changge didn't say that it was a cart of firewood, anyway, as long as his family agreed, he would regret it.

"Don't borrow!" Lin Yanchen lightly spit out two words, staring at Lin Changge with faint eyes, looking like he could see through her careful thoughts. The tone was non-negotiable.

Lin Changge gritted his teeth: "That's it, what I will sell this time, the silver will be one-third of yours." ”

When Lin Yanchen heard this, he didn't refuse directly, but raised his eyebrows and said, "How much?" ”

"Hmm...... More than a dozen articles. ”

Lin Changge felt a little embarrassed when he said it: "I know that your family doesn't look down on this bit of silver, but I can only give so much, if you help me today, I will earn more in the future, and I will definitely pay it back a hundred times!" ”

Lin Yanchen didn't like her directly, but Aunt Lan couldn't help but laugh and said, "What do you take as a girl to make money, let alone pay it back a hundred times." ”

"Since I have said it, I will never break my word! Don't say anything else, "Lin Changge never doubted his ability to make money.

The firmness in her eyes at this moment made Lin Yanchen couldn't help but look at her more, Aunt Lan said: Yanchen, you should go to the town to buy some new books these days, why don't you help her once today. ”

Lin Yanchen's answer was a little unexpected by Lin Changge, so he paused and said, "Okay." ”

Lin Changge didn't expect this guy to listen to this woman's words like this, yes, she heard it from the Changmei Changli sisters, this person is his adoptive mother, no better than his biological mother, naturally he is a little more obedient!

Lin Changge took Lin Yanchen to the place where he put firewood, and saw Lin Yanchen looking at a large pile of firewood, and said with a somewhat bad face: "This is, your thing?" ”

"yes." Lin Changge smiled and said harmlessly: "What's the matter, the son repented?" Oh, so let's do it, how about I drive for you, as compensation? ”

Lin Yanchen has never gone back on his word, although he knew that he was tricked by this stinky girl, he still reluctantly accepted it: "Okay." ”

"But ......" Lin Changge was a little embarrassed: "I don't know the way." ”

"You ......"

Lin Yanchen realized that Lin Changge was deliberately teasing him, and his face sank a little: "I'll come!" ”

Lin Changge held back her laughter and worked hard, she didn't expect this young man to be funny, but she also knew how to stop in moderation, neatly put the firewood into the carriage, and sat in the car unceremoniously, Lin Yanchen sat outside with a cold face, waving a horsewhip: "Drive!" ”

The carriage was not slow, but in an hour or so, the two of them came to the town.

Although it is winter at this time, the town is still lively, and there are many hawkers on the street, which is very lively.

Lin Changge had been in Linjiazhuang for so long, and when he saw such a scene again, he suddenly had the feeling of seeing the light of day again and the wild man going down the mountain.

"Lin Gongzi, where are you going to buy books? Do you want me along? ”

"No, you don't."

"Okay!" Lin Changge was polite, and when he refused, he got out of the car directly to carry firewood and said, "Lin Gongzi remember to come back to pick me up." ”

Lin Yanchen: "......"

After Lin Changge set up the firewood, after thinking about it for a while, he made a sad appearance, and a pedestrian came to ask: "How do you sell this firewood?" ”

"A penny and a pound."

"Who are you pitting for, you! People have a pound of firewood, and you sell it for a penny? ”

Lin Changge made a pious look and said: "You don't know, this tree is the tree god in our village, used to burn fire, it can drive away disasters and evil spirits, and ensure good weather in the coming year." ”

"Nonsense! Since you are a tree god, how can you be sold by your yellow-haired girl! ”

"I'm telling the truth, this tree god is what our village invites a mage to do every year, isn't this a bad day, it was cut down by thieves! If you don't believe it, you can take a look at this quality, it is the result of our years of looking for mages. ”

Everyone gathered around and took a closer look: "It seems that it is really a little different." ”

"Yes...... Even so, a penny is too expensive. ”

"Alas, as long as this kind of thing arrives at your heart, you can burn one in the stove, so let's do it for the first time, the little sister will lose some points, a ten-penny penny, drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits and keep safe, you can't buy it for ten pennies, you can't buy it for ten cents, you can't buy it!."

Lin Changge shouted loudly, attracting more people's attention, although some people didn't believe it, but out of curiosity, there was really money to buy it.

When Lin Yanchen came back from buying the book, he saw a group of people surrounding Lin Changge, who sat on the ground with a big grin, and told everyone the legend of "Divine Tree".

"Ever since the death of the hero of our village, this tree has grown from the place where he died...... After that........."

Lin Yanchen frowned slightly, but he didn't come forward to dismantle her, he sat in the carriage and read quietly, and when Lin Changge's firewood was almost sold, Lin Ze stepped forward and said: "I have lived in Linjiazhuang for a few years, and I have never heard of any legends of tree gods. ”

Lin Changge was counting the money, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "You don't know if you came late, that's the secret of our village." ”

"It's a secret you made up, you are a liar, and the most important thing for a businessman is honesty ......"

"Okay, okay Lin Gongzi, don't preach." Lin Changge waved his hand impatiently and said, "I'm just a rural village girl, and I'm not a serious businessman, as long as I have money, I can make money, and you haven't heard the word "no treacherous businessman?" Who is in business and does not fool people! ”

"Having said that, you are too foolish, and you are not afraid of being exposed."

What Tree God...... Such a superficial lie is actually believed by some people!

Lin Changge said with a smile: "These people may not believe me, they just spend ten dollars to buy a curiosity!" If someone breaks me, I'll sell it at the original price in another place! ”

"You ......" Lin Yanchen felt that he had nothing to say to this woman, so he simply remained silent.

Lin Changge counted the money, and actually sold it for a full one or two silver and two dollars, and took out four dollars of silver and distributed it to Lin Yanchen and said, "No, I promised you one-third of what I promised you before." ”

Lin Yanchen was stunned for a moment, for a peasant girl, I was afraid that she couldn't even think of it, but she didn't expect her to be so happy.

"Keep it for yourself."

Lin Changge saw that he didn't accept it, so he directly stuffed the silver into his arms: "If you say that the money is yours, it will be yours, if you think it is too much, you are embarrassed to accept it, so you will accompany me to buy something." ”

Lin Yanchen didn't continue to shirk hypocritically for the four coins of silver: "What to buy?" ”

What else can you buy...... Naturally, I bought a hare and went back to pay for it!
