Chapter 40 Placement
The autumn scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as spring in March, but it is also not interesting.
There is also a Yuelai Inn here, and when Zhiyun saw the wooden sign on the door, she couldn't help but be happy.
It seems that in the Qing Dynasty before, at least in the capital, I really haven't seen the most common 'Yuelai Inn' in this film and television drama, at that time, Zhiyun also wondered, is it not to send someone to run one, such a large chain inn, it is estimated that it is also an extremely profitable business, but she didn't have time to put it into action, so she met Ouyang, married into the royal family, and there was no shortage of money, so she was lazy and dispelled this idea.
Yangzhou is a rich place, the so-called 'waist around 100,000 guan, riding a crane down Yangzhou', another meaning is that if you want to live happily in Yangzhou, there is no 100,000 guan family assets, it can't be.
Zhiyun and Ouyang have a lot of bits and pieces of valuable objects, and there are also some gold and silver coins that are usually used for rewards, and there is a universal luxury car when they are on the road, and there is no cost for food, housing and transportation, so although they don't have 100,000 yuan on hand, they are still rich.
When I came to Yangzhou, I rented a small courtyard at Yuelai Inn, and went to buy simple clothes and jewelry for Mrs. Lin and Xiao Nannan, of course, Ouyang and Zhiyun also needed it themselves.
After settling down and going outside to inquire, Mrs. Lin learned that Lin Ruhai's wife had died of illness, and Daiyu, the pearl of their family, was also sent by Shi Lao Taijun of Rongguo Mansion to take her to the capital to be educated.
Hearing this, Zhiyun sighed a little, she was still curious, she wanted to meet that Sister Lin, and then she thought about it, Sister Lin was only a five-year-old girl at this time, and she was afraid that there was nothing to look at.
She and Ouyang are actually the same mind, regardless of whether this place is a red mansion or a white mansion, they only regard it as one of the worlds, at most, some of the events that happen here are similar to a famous book, what to do and what to do, can not be affected because this world is very familiar, of course, idle and nothing, look at the second mansion of Rongning, the twelve golden hairpins, as a pastime, it is not bad.
Although Jia died of illness, Mrs. Kelin still had to come to the door in the end.
On this day, the autumn was crisp and the weather was good, so Mrs. Lin took Xiao Nan and Ouyang Zhiyun to Lin Mansion.
"Hey, I didn't expect it...... When I first met my sister-in-law, we were both young, and at that time I thought she was a little arrogant, not easy to get close to, and I didn't say a few words to her, but I never thought that in a blink ......of an eye, it would be yin and yang, and goodbye would be indefinite."
Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Lin looked a little sad, Xu thought that just a few months ago, she was still spinning around the ghost gate, if it wasn't for the noble people on the road, she would have died in Huangquan, it didn't matter if she went, it was also a great blessing to reunite with her husband, but thinking of the young girl, once she lost the protection of her parents, where could she still live well in this world, she was glad in her heart, fortunately she never had the will to die, fortunately God has eyes.
Sighing all the way, it took less than half an hour to walk through the lively market, and then arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion, Zhiyun and Ouyang looked carefully, and felt that Lin Ruhai was very low-key, and the exterior walls were all made of blue bricks, which looked very simple, and there was not much luxurious decoration.
Thinking about this Jiangnan official, which one is not so rich that he is oily, otherwise how can he say that the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, even if Lin Ruhai can say a word of honesty, I am afraid that the family's silver money will not be less than one million, since this person knows how to hide wealth and low-key, I am afraid that he is not a stupid person, how can he easily send Lin Daiyu to a place like Rongguo Mansion to hide filth and dirt.
Because Mrs. Lin had already sent a letter before she came, early in the morning, there was a chief steward Lin Derong at the door to greet her, this chief steward has been with Lin Ruhai for more than ten years, and Mrs. Lin has also seen it.
"The second grandmother is here." Lin Derong ordered the two little maids in Tsing Yi to help Mrs. Lin get out of the carriage with a smile on his face, "The master heard that the second grandmother arrived in Yangzhou, and he was very happy. β
Mrs. Lin's eyes were red, and seeing that Steward Lin was still so warm and considerate as many years ago, her heart suddenly became steady, smiled, and walked into the Lin Mansion with her arms around her.
As soon as they walked into the main hall of the Lin family, the group saw Lin Ruhai standing in front of the door, supported by two little guys, with a snow-white face, describing the haggard Lin Ruhai, Mrs. Lin's tears came down and cried: "Big brother, what are you ...... Big brother, brother and sister advise you, even if it is for Daiyu, take care of yourself. β
Lin Ruhai smiled on his face, but just shook his head: "Save it for my brother, don't worry about my brother and sister." β
"Quick, sit down." Lin Ruhai beckoned Mrs. Lin and Ouyang Zhiyun to sit down, called Xiao Nan to his eyes, stroked her little head lovingly, and said: "This is Xiao Zhaoyu, I remember, in order to name you, Brother Yu gave me eighteen letters within a month, and finally I drew lots to determine, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, my good niece has grown so big, I remember, Nan Nan is one year older than the jade in my family." β
Speaking of the past, Mrs. Lin and Lin Ruhai are full of emotion, after a while, Mrs. Lin will explain the things over the years, when it comes to her husband's death, Lin Ruhai is also in tears, speaking of Mrs. Lin and her daughter fell ill in a foreign country, fortunately met Ouyang and Zhiyun, Lin Ruhai ignored the broken body, and forced them to give a big gift to the two couples.
"Two, I won't say much about the words of gratitude, in the future, if the two of you are useful to the sea, please say anything, as long as the sea can do it, you will not shirk it......"
Ouyang and Zhiyun saw that he was sincere, and knew that this was not a lie, so they glanced at each other, knowing that the two of them probably didn't have to worry about Mrs. Lin and Xiao Nannan, Lin Ruhai was really a person who valued love and righteousness, and he was indeed close to his cousin Lin Yu.
After staying in the Lin Mansion for a day, after making sure that Mrs. Lin and Xiao Nannan were properly settled, Ouyang and Zhiyun left, of course, Lin Ruhai had vigorously retained, but Ouyang said that he wanted to buy property in Yangzhou, and it was more convenient to live outside, so he was not reluctant.
In fact, Lin Ruhai can get to explore flowers, and he has made such an important position as patrolling the salt imperial history, how can he also be a smart person, Ouyang and Zhiyun are extravagant, even if they are not conspicuous now, it is okay to deceive ordinary people, how can he not see that these two people have unusual backgrounds, and he really thought that people would borrow his house.
So, Zhiyun and Ouyang settled in Yangzhou City, and the two of them only spent a small amount of silver to buy a small but exquisite courtyard, which made Zhiyun very satisfied.
After settling down, for half a year, Zhiyun and Ouyang didn't do anything, closed their doors every day, staying at home, Zhiyun would also go to see Xiao Nannan and Mrs. Lin from time to time, and bring a little delicious candy to the little girl, Ouyang devoted himself to studying the rules of magic and connecting the great cause of the space-time gateβ¦β¦γ
