Approaching the end of the year, the Lin family grange and the store need a general annual account, and the family also needs to prepare the New Year's goods, the year-end human exchanges, sacrificial items and other things, the mother and the second uncle and the second aunt are very busy, Lin Ruyu also put down the poisonous weeds and poisonous insects in his hand, took on his responsibility as the head of the Lin family, and began to inspect the store.

Xuanzhou suffered from floods this year, the cloth, satin, garment business is mediocre, thanks to the popularity of the Chaoyang bazaar, the income of the Lin family silk village is higher than that of peers, Lin Ruyu looked at the sum of money on the account, and was in a very good mood.

Yun Juan entered the steward's room and said, "Girl, Master Yu from Ming Embroidered Silk Village is here." ”

Lin Ruyu looked at the account book without raising his head, "What's the matter with him?" ”

Lin Mao, the big shopkeeper who stood aside to help Lin Ruyu turn over the account book, replied, "This year's year is not good, the business of Ming embroidery silk village is not good, Yu Dongjia has come several times, and wants to buy the dyed fine silk in our shop to go back to support the façade." ”

Seeing that Lin Ruyu's eyes didn't lift, Lin Mao hurriedly continued, "The villain followed the girl's instructions and came to ask for the shop that dyed fine silk, but he refused all. But on the owner's side, the villain didn't dare to catch up, so he ......"

Yu Liulian's father, the owner of Ming Embroidery Silk Village, and Lin Ruyu's grandfather are business partners and have been friends for many years. Lin Mao is just a descendant of the Lin family, and it is really not easy to do, "Invite him to the private room for tea, and say that I will be there later." ”

Yu Liulian ate two teas, and when he was impatient, he saw Lin Ruyu come in, suppressed his anger and hung a smirk, "Ruyu hasn't gone to play with Shuqin and Shuqi for a while." ”

Yu Liulian's two daughters were also Lin Ruyu's playmates before, but after Lin Ruyu returned from an adventure in Qi County, they gradually became estranged.

Lin Ruyu is not good at socializing, so she went straight to the topic, "My mother was unwell in the previous period, and I helped my second uncle take care of the family's business, so I didn't have time to rest. Uncle Yu, you came here today to dye fine silk? ”

The smirk on Yu Liulian's face deepened, "Now that your mother is in good health, you should rest." I also know that there are not many pieces of silk left in your house, and I shouldn't have come here. But yesterday I met the prince of An Wang, and mentioned the Chongyang bazaar during the chat, and I saw that the prince was also very interested in fine silk, so he came over cheekily. ”

Times have changed, but human nature has not changed.

In the previous life, Yu Liulian was a lackey who pretended to be from afar, and wanted to get a piece of the Lin family. In this life, he wanted to use the fine silk of the Lin family to befriend He Jiongming.

Lin Ruyu lowered her eyes, unwilling to look at his face again, "I can't do anything about this matter, I have to go back and ask my mother to get an idea." ”

"It's nature." Moving out of the prince of Anwang, the Lin family didn't dare not let go, Yu Liulian smiled proudly, "Seeing that it's time for the New Year, each of our families has to prepare a New Year's gift to honor the prince, this fine silk is the most suitable." If silk enters the eyes of the world, the silk business of our two families will be able to go to Anzhou, and when your father comes back next year, he will be happy. ”

The two of us? Lin Ruyu smiled, "What New Year's gift does Uncle Yu plan to give to the prince?" ”

Of course, it's the fine silk of the Lin family! I've been talking about it for a long time, and this dead girl didn't understand? Yu Liulian was about to continue talking, but when he saw the smile on Lin Ruyu's face, he lost interest, waved his hand and said, "Naturally, it is a good thing at home, I haven't chosen it yet, don't forget to discuss the matter of fine silk with your mother." By the way, Shen Ge is not in Xuanzhou, but how can he also express it, right? ”

"Wanxiang Auction House is a joint operation of five companies, and we have already discussed it when Shen Ge left, so I don't have to worry about this matter." Lin Ruyu said and picked up the tea.

Yu Liulian's face was very ugly when he went out. If it wasn't for him at home, could there be today's Lin family? The Lin family turned their faces and didn't recognize people, so they don't blame him for not remembering the old love.

Lin Ruyu was busy in the silk village until noon, and was about to go home for dinner, when Xianyin came in and whispered in her ear, "Chunjiao came to the silk village to buy fabrics, and she was waiting for the girl to go out." ”

Yun Juan immediately said, "Girl, the front door is crowded, let's go through the side door, right?" ”

Business was good at the end of the year, and there were many people buying cloth in the front hall, but Lin Ruyu didn't want to go through the side door, "Today's business is finished today, since she has the heart, she will come over today and see what she wants to do." ”

When Lin Ruyu was surrounded by Lin Mao and others to the front hall, the customers who bought cloth in the store all looked over, and some of them were recognized by Lin Ruyu. She greeted all the way and walked out, and when she arrived at Chunjiao's side, Chunjiao still nodded to her with a soft posture.

Lin Ruyu also nodded and walked out.

Seeing Lin Ruyu walking away, Chunjiao stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Miss Lin, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Seeing a little daughter-in-law dressed in ordinary clothes and a twisted posture stopping Lin Ruyu, the women who were doing good things stopped to look.

Lin Ruyu stopped and asked generously, "Madame?" ”

The word "madam" seemed to prick Chunjiao's nerves, her eyelashes trembled twice, and her appearance was cute, "The slave's husband's surname is Yan, and his home is in Wusha Town, Qi County." ”

The surname Yan reminded Lin Ruyu of the mountain bandit Yan Laogou in Matou Mountain, Wusha Town. She asked quietly, "Madame is looking for me?" ”

"Yes......" Chunjiao bit her lip lightly, and pleaded in a low voice with an ambiguous attitude, "Regarding the matter of the Shen Dong family, please take a step to speak." ”

Lin Ruyu wanted to know what she was doing, so she invited her to the private room on the second floor and instructed, "You go outside and guard." ”

"Yes." Yunjuan and Yuying both responded and retreated to the door, there was a string sound hiding behind the screen, and they were not afraid of what Chunjiao would do.

Seeing that the stout woman standing behind Chunjiao did not move, Lin Ruyu's face sank.

Chunjiao turned her head to discuss with her mother-in-law, "Sister-in-law will also go outside to stand for a while, and I will say a few words to Miss Lin." ”

After the mother-in-law reluctantly went out and closed the door, Chunjiao stared at Lin Ruyu, Lin Ruyu didn't know what she wanted to do, so she simply let her look at it.

Chunjiao has been rolling in the quagmire for many years, and she has some ability to know people. As soon as she looked at Lin Ruyu, she knew that she didn't like to go around the bend, so she asked directly, "Miss Lin has been to Wusha Town in mid-July this year, right?" ”

"Yes."

"The day before the girl and Shen Ge left Wusha Town, Shen Ge gave me a sum of money and asked me about Yan Laogou and them." Chunjiao's voice was no longer pretentious in front of people, with a calm that looked down on the hot and cold world, "Thanks to the girl's blessing, I redeemed myself from the singing spring building, followed the Shi family to avoid the flood, and arrived in Tong'an County." ”

Seeing Lin Ruyu raise her eyes and look over, Chunjiao asked directly, "That day, the girl was in the carriage, right?" ”

Lin Ruyu nodded.

Chunjiao had some smile lines on her face, but her tears were shining with tears, "I knew there were people in the car, but I didn't expect this person to be engaged to Shen Ge a few months later." The girl has been to Wusha Town, she should know what Shen Ge's background is, right? ”
