Chapter 252: Sitting and Eating the Mountain
After learning that she had lost all her belongings, Lin Sangu was so angry that she almost ascended to heaven on the spot.
Qian Shun and his family, who thought that they would be able to follow their master back to Lin's house to live a comfortable life after entering the city, were also extremely disappointed when they stood in the courtyard full of the smell of tung oil.
knew that his wife would break off his relationship with the Lin family when he came back, so they might as well stay in the grange. No, it's better to stay in Changzhou.
But in this world, there is no regret medicine for sale.
Mrs. Qian lowered her head and didn't dare to come out. After following Lin Sangu for more than 20 years, Mrs. Qian knows Lin Sangu's temper best, if they are not honest and obedient, Lin Sangu will sell them and buy a few obedient ones to come back.
Master-servant love? Fart!
Her father, eldest brother, niece, and husband are not worth mentioning in her eyes, and the affection of master and servant does not exist in her eyes.
Qian Shun lowered his eyebrows and explained, "Madam, it's not that the little ones are incompetent, it's really that the road is not smooth, and there are dozens or hundreds of people blocking it every few miles. The villain saw with his own eyes that they had cut the man in the carriage in front of him into several pieces. The little ones were able to survive because of the banner of the Lin family in Xuanzhou, and those people spared our lives."
Last year's flood fight, the Lin family paid money for medicine, land and grain, so the Lin family had a very good reputation among the people of Xuanzhou, and they didn't dare to do too much to block the road and rob it. Because once the Lin family reports to the official, the yamen will definitely ask people for their crimes.
"We're in the Grange, and we don't know it's going to be like this outside." The big black nursing home standing behind Qian Shun said in a muffled voice.
"Nonsense!" Qian Baocui, who had lost all her clothes and jewelry, was so angry that she was so angry, "When we came here two days ago, there wasn't even a ghost on the road, why did dozens or hundreds of people stop you when it was your turn?"
Qian Caiming also looked the five subordinates up and down suspiciously, suspecting that they were a big bully and secretly sold the master's belongings.
They still have to rely on the three nursing homes to protect them, Qian Lancui was afraid that it would not end well, so she hurriedly said, "It's really chaotic outside. Mother, the most important thing now is to take advantage of the fact that the summer grain is still cheap, and buy more food to hoard. I heard that to buy grain in the city, you need to take a ticket issued by the yamen, and the owner of the house with the big black dog tied to the alley is the supervisor of this area, and we have to go to his house to get this month's ticket with the deed and household registration before we can go to the grain store to buy grain."
Unexpectedly, my sister even asked about these things, Qian Baocui asked curiously, "What is a ticket?"
Qian Lancui explained, "It is a bill stamped with the official seal of the yamen and the price and quantity. The yamen is haired once a month, and adults are 15 pounds per month, and those under the age of 16 are halved, and those under the age of three have no food."
This is a new thing, and the people in the house silently count the heads in the house, counting how many catties of food they can buy.
There are nine people in the house, large and small, and it is one hundred and twelve pounds and a half of food a month. Lin Sangu exchanged this amount for silver, and her brows became more and more furrowed, but she had to grit her teeth and take her money to buy food with a ticket.
Despite the cynicism of the people in the alley, when she arrived at the house at the entrance of the alley, Lin Sangu learned that the ticket was issued on the first day of the new month, and the ticket for the month in her yard had been taken away.
Today is the fourth day of the seventh month!
Without tickets, they had to buy high-priced food, or the family would starve to death. Lin Sangu's eyes were dark, and she was so angry that she died.
Although Lin Sangu felt sorry for the silver, she could only grit her teeth and buy eighty catties of high-priced coarse grain, and then bought oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, dishes and chopsticks, bedding, clothes, etc., although they were all bought cheaply, but the silver was still spent like flowing water.
Lin Sangu, who didn't have any income at home, was panicked after calculating that her family was enough to eat for a few months.
No, she has to find a way to make money!.
When Lin Sangu was worried about her livelihood, Lin Ruyu was sitting in the gazebo by the lake at home, eating fruit and listening to her mother, second aunt and sister-in-law chatting.
After the two concubines exchanged their feelings about pregnancy, they naturally talked about eating, and Wen sighed, "If you let everyone know that such a good idea of buying food with tickets was thought up by our Jiaojiao, your eyes will definitely roll to the ground in shock."
Lin Ruyu who was eating lychees......
Lu Yuchun also asked curiously, "This move is indeed too powerful. How did the second sister come up with it
Come?"
Putting the lychee core in the leaf-shaped green jade plate, Lin Ruyu raised her finger and turned her head twice, and said mischievously, "Just turn around like this, and come up with it."
Fang's, Wen's, Lu Yuchun, and Lin Rumei were amused to laugh, and Lin Ruyu also smiled and bent her eyes, and put the white jade lychee handed over by Yunjuan into her mouth.
In times of material shortage, the purchase of tickets can ensure the basic living needs of the people and prevent social unrest. She didn't come up with it, she learned it in her second life.
Thanks to the master of all things in the underworld, she has experienced the second life, opened her eyes and developed her skills.
Yuying walked briskly into the pavilion, "The lord invites the eldest girl to the study in the front yard to discuss matters."
"Go, go." Wen, who had a big belly, rubbed his cheeks that were sour from laughter, and waved his hand to let Lin Ruyu hurry up.
"If you eat too many lychees, it is easy to get angry, my mother and second aunt can't eat them, and my sister-in-law and second sister can eat a few." Lin Ruyu admonished, then got up and rushed to the front yard with clean hands.
"The eldest sister is really getting more and more powerful...... Lin Rumei took a lychee and stuffed it into her mouth, and ate it deliciously.
Wen nodded her daughter's head with disgust, turned her head and humbly asked her sister-in-law how to raise Jiaojiao so well, she had to follow her sister-in-law's method to raise this in her belly to be as capable as Jiaojiao.
Fang smiled softly and said sincerely: "I didn't teach it, it was the Bodhisattva's blessing."
When Lin Ruyu arrived at the study in the front yard, Uncle Xiang was reporting the incident. Father Lin beckoned to her, and Lin Ruyu slightly lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold into the house, and sat down beside her father obediently.
Uncle Xiang explained the situation of the shops everywhere, and then said, "The shops in Raozhou and Hezhou have been closed according to the master's orders, and they will be opened when the chaos has passed."
Hezhou and Raozhou have been in chaos, there is no yamen to maintain law and order, and the opening of shops is also robbed, so they can only close their businesses to protect themselves.
Father Lin instructed the various shops one by one, and emphatically emphasized, "The men who have been withdrawn from the silk village and the boat store have been sent to protect the granges, medicine fields, and shops that collect medicinal herbs."
"Yes."
After the housekeeper went out, Father Lin took the tea handed by his daughter and took a bite before saying, "Shen Ge sent someone to deliver the letter back, they have already joined General Shen, let us rest assured. It's not appropriate to take your grandfather's family out, borrow the grain ship of the right Hou Wei to send them out of Canzhou, and then we need to send someone to pick them up. Don't tell your mother in advance, for my father is going to hire a dart master from the Liangdao Dart Bureau to go there, and the house will be handed over to you and your second uncle."
Lin Ruyu shook her head, "Daddy stays at home to take charge of the overall situation, and my daughter goes to pick up her grandfather and grandmother."
