Chapter 122: Rumors
Lin Qiushan thought that King Yue had summoned him to the news that he had a daughter and grandson.
Unexpectedly, he heard His Highness ask him: "I heard that your ancestors are gold and silver craftsmen, and you can make jewelry?" The mausoleum households in this neighborhood are looking for you to make jewelry for weddings and newborns? ”
Lin Qiushan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "The grass people have learned some ancestral crafts, and they usually take on some odd jobs, but the grass people have not slackened off on the errands of the cemetery......
Zhao Guangyuan smiled: "Don't be afraid, I didn't invite you to ask for guilt." You don't have to talk on your knees, just sit. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Qiushan sat down in fear.
Zhao Guangyuan glanced at the other party and said softly: "I have seen your craftsmanship, and what you do is no worse than what you sell in the gold and silver shops in the capital." The mind is also more ingenious than the craftsman of the palace craftsman's bureau. ”
"Your Highness has lifted love. The grass people are trapped in their vision, and their craftsmanship is rough, which cannot be compared with the palace craftsmen. ”
"Don't be presumptuous. Xia Er loves the jewelry you make......"
Xia'er? Lin Qiushan was startled, and suddenly looked up at Zhao Guangyuan, and saw that the other party was also looking at him, so he hurriedly lowered his head again. couldn't help muttering, why did His Highness call his daughter like this?
Zhao Guangyuan didn't explain, only handed him a few drawings, "The above is the style and size of the jewelry I painted, can you see if you can do it?" ”
King Yue wants to find him to make jewelry?
Lin Qiushan was shocked in his heart. Although King Yue was demoted to guard the mausoleum, it was inconvenient for him to find a craftsman in the palace, but it was not difficult for people to send it to the capital or the city, why should he find him?
"The grass people are not skilled in their craft, and I am afraid that they will miss the work of His Highness." Lin Qiushan didn't dare to take it, so he had to return the drawings in his hand.
Zhao Guangyuan stretched out his hand to block it, "I made it for Xia Er, and it is most suitable for you to make it." ”
Lin Qiushan stared at the exquisite drawings in his hand, and became more and more suspicious, what His Highness said about Xia Er is his daughter, right?
Your Highness is so familiar with Xi'er? No matter how familiar you are, but unmarried men and women are called like this, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. And does His Highness know the relationship between his family and Xia Er and Changzhi?
Lin Qiushan hesitated, this is the secret of the family, he has explained to Changzhi, even if His Royal Highness is the gentleman of Changzhi, Changzhi is also measured, and he will not tell outsiders such a secret matter at home.
Zhao Guangyuan saw him twisting his eyebrows and hesitating, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, how could he not see what he was thinking in his heart.
After thinking about it, I decided to tell him some information.
"Xia Er and I have registered our marriage over there, and Xia Er is already my wife. And he grew up to be my own son. You know this, I know heaven and earth, and this king doesn't want a third person to know about it. ”
Lin Qiushan's heart was turbulent, what did His Highness say just now?
Xia Er and him have become husband and wife over there? His Highness and his daughter? Husband and wife? What else does His Highness say, that he is his own son?
Lin Qiushan looked at Zhao Guangyuan with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
He couldn't have heard me wrong.
Zhao Guangyuan didn't care what he thought in his heart, and said to himself: "Over there, Xia Er and I are not managed by our elders, and what is painted on this drawing is a dowry gift from me to Xia Er, and it is perfect for you to make it." ”
He handed him a box again, "The gold, silver, and pearls in it, you look at it." Be sure to make it according to the drawings I made. If there is anything wrong, feel free to report it to me. ”
The dowry he gave Xia Er and the materials he made naturally had to be made by him. And handed over to Lin Qiushan to make, he learned that if he made it for his daughter, he would do his best. Xia Er will be safe and smooth with these jewels poured with love and blessings.
Lin Qiushan had recovered from the shock, "Your Highness ......"
"You don't have to ask, you don't have to show it. The stakes are high, and you should know for yourself. How it was before or how it was back. You also know my situation, stay away from me, don't be too close, it's good for you and me. And the Lin family is peaceful, so Xia Er is at ease. ”
"Yes. The grass people made a note of it. ”
Lin Qiushan responded while looking up at Zhao Guangyuan. Although His Royal Highness the King of Yue was degraded to guard the mausoleum, the situation was not good, but he was also the son and grandson of the prince, so he became his son-in-law?
No, no, no, you can't think of it that way. Lin Qiushan hurriedly shook away the messy thoughts in his mind. His Highness is still His Highness.
Zhao Guangyuan glanced at him, and then explained: "You do it slowly, don't be in a hurry." Don't worry about Xia Er and Changzhi over there, they're doing well. When I can see them, I will tell you about them. ”
Belch? His Highness means that he will not see his daughter and grandson now.
"Yes." Zhao Guangyuan said again.
Lin Qiushan understood. It turned out that His Highness couldn't see them. No wonder it's been more than a month, and there is no news of their mother and son.
"Yes. The grass people made a note of it. Your Highness rest assured, what His Highness said to the grass people today, no third person will know. ”
Zhao Guangyuan nodded and asked Cao Cuo to send him out.
Lin Qiushan put the box in his sleeve, lowered his head and walked home. His mind was still thinking about what His Highness Fang Cai had said to him, and he was in a trance all the way.
Someone greeted him on the road, but he didn't hear it.
"Lin Qiushan, this is going to see King Yue again, right? I don't know what good things I got in my arms. The villagers said with a wave of jealousy on their faces.
"I heard that his family had some new vegetables, and he sent them to the palace every day, and he rushed to offer him as a grandson." While contempt, envy.
The mother-in-law of the head of Changling Village also heard the gossip of the Lin family in the village, and couldn't help but blow the wind in the ears of her own men.
"I heard that the Lin family has been in and out of the palace every day these days and has gained a lot of good things."
Chang Shan didn't care, "The Lin family got a new vegetable like eggplant and sent it to King Yue." Didn't our family get a lot, who in our family didn't say it was good to eat? You eat someone else's good stuff and fall behind your back and talk about it. ”
Zhou glared at his own man, feeling that this man had no tendons and didn't understand her thoughts.
"The village said that the Lin family was in a hurry to be the grandson of King Yue."
"Don't talk nonsense, we are all royal servants, and now that King Yue is in charge of us, we naturally have to leave a copy for King Yue when we get good things. Those people saw that the Lin family had got good things, and they also sent them to King Yue, who wouldn't let them send them. ”
Seeing the man scolding, Zhou had no choice but to give up.
His eyes rolled, and he said: "My younger brother said that the family is not having a good time, the taxes are high this year, and the conscription has been two months longer than in previous years, and he heard that he will be conscripted next year, and he is afraid of being requisitioned, so he asked me to ask if you can make his family a mausoleum?" ”
Chang Shan frowned when he heard this.
Zhou's younger brother is lazy to eat, and the dozen acres of good land left by his father-in-law are all left for him, and only three or five acres are left, and the family of seven or eight is not enough to fill their stomachs, and they often stretch out their hands to them.
Zhou thought that there was only such a younger brother left, and he helped from time to time. He also turned a blind eye.
"What's so bad about being a citizen? Others can't get into the nationality if they want to, so it's better for him to push it out. Chang Shan frowned when he talked about this brother-in-law.
"There are so many people in a family, how can you not fill your stomach if you are diligent? In the past few years, the heavens have been rewarding food, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grain in the field has been harvested a lot. Why can't I survive when I go to the city to find odd jobs? ”
Also be a mausoleum! When you are a mausoleum, you don't have to pay all kinds of taxes, you don't have to serve conscription, and you don't have to worry about being conscripted, but you don't have to be a slave for others!
He has never even gone out to Tianshou County in his life.
"Let him stop thinking about the east and west, and take care of the work in the field, the children are also older, and there will be no shortage of food if they have hands and feet." Don't spend all your days thinking about what you have and don't. Besides, I haven't heard of any desperate households in Ling Village, and there is no shortage of people now. ”
Zhou pouted dissatisfied.
Every time she asked a man to help turn her brother's family into a mausoleum, he would push back. When the mausoleum household is not good, why does his surname Chang not want to change his nationality for seven or eight generations?
Shh
She is such a younger brother, her parents are gone, only her brother's family can move around, let her brother's family stay by their side, what's wrong with having a care?
The next day, Zhou returned to his parents' house, and when he told his younger brother Zhou Wangcai this, he was unhappy, saying that his brother-in-law looked down on him and refused to help him.
Zhou couldn't listen to his younger brother talking badly about his own man, and explained: "Your brother-in-law said that there is no shortage of people in Lingcun now, and there are no desperate households. ”
Each emperor's cemetery in Tianshou Mountain, according to the system, is equipped with 50 mausoleum households, there is no will of the imperial court, one day is a mausoleum household, and the generation is a mausoleum household. In case of extinction, or for other reasons, the preparation is missing, and the nearest households can be transferred to supplement.
Now there is no shortage of people in Changling Village.
But Zhou Wangcai couldn't hear it. I just felt that his brother-in-law would not help. There is no shortage of people, just find any reason, vacate one of the households, isn't there a shortage?
He now looks at his sister's family eating and drinking spicy food, eating and wearing without worry, how much grain is planted in the field is his own, not to mention the money, there is food and clothing, and there are generous rewards from time to time, everything is not worried, he was dragged to repair the city wall this year, and the wind blew on the mountain for three months, and everyone was wrinkled.
He also wants to be a mausoleum! Create opportunities when you don't have them.
Since learning about his younger brother's thoughts, Zhou's eyes have been on the Lin family. The Lin family moved from elsewhere before, and they could move him out for any reason.
She observed for a few days and found that the Lin family was really just like what the people in the village said, I don't know what good things were burned, and the fragrance made people drool. Obviously there are good things at home.
Look at the children of the Lin family again, all of them are round, their faces are fleshy, and they are good at first glance.
Looking at the women of the Lin family again, even the Geng family looked several years younger. Standing with her, it's like a generation behind.
I also heard that Lin Qiushan often went in and out of the palace, won the blue eyes of King Yue, and often won the generous reward of King Yue. How could Lin Qiushan get past her man, the village chief, and get the blue eyes of King Yue!
Zhou's eyes were red with jealousy.
Some rumors also spread to the town.
Lin Jing'an's father-in-law, Li Youcai, opened a grocery store in the town, and most of the people from the nearby towns came into the town, and most of them had bought things in his store. In addition, Li Youcai's daughter married Lin Jing'an of the Linghu family, and people in Lingcun will often go to his shop to buy things.
This made Li Youcai hear a lot of news about the Lin family.
Approaching the winter solstice festival, Li Youcai thought that this was the last big festival of the year, and there would definitely be many dignitaries and nobles who would come to the imperial mausoleum to pay respects, and Li Youcai, who was bent on clinging to the powerful, naturally refused to let go of this opportunity, so he urged Lin Jingan to return to Changling Village with his wife and children.
The Lin family in Changling Village, Lin Qiushan got the orders of King Yue, and usually in addition to the upper value, he didn't even go out of the door, so he nested at home to play jewelry.
Thinking that this was a gift from King Yue to his daughter, or a dowry, Lin Qiushan attached great importance to it.
He didn't protect his daughter back then, and let her daughter be buried alive, and he owed her daughter. Now these are made for his own daughter, and he hates to have to eat and not sleep to make jewelry for his daughter.
The drawings given by His Royal Highness are also too good-looking, he has made jewelry for so many years, even if his ancestors have passed down many drawings, none of them can compare to the drawings given by King Yue.
This whole set of head and face jewelry is the most beautiful he has ever seen. Especially the two pairs of rings painted by King Yue, the ornamentation is even more beautiful.
Except for the difference in size, the two rings have the same style and decoration. Lin Qiushan's heart stirred, King Yue must really like his daughter. King Yue is still Changzhi's father, it's good.
But how could King Yue be Changzhi's father? What happened back then?
Lin Qiushan would still think about these things after doing work, but King Yue didn't let him ask, so he didn't ask, and no one said anything. The old woman didn't say anything. This is a big deal, don't cause trouble to your family.
All he needs to know is that his daughter and grandson are doing well.
Back then, the family was most sorry for Xi'er, and now His Royal Highness has handed over these jewelry to him to make, and he will definitely take out the best skills and make the best jewelry.
Lin Qiushan didn't hear anything outside the window, but outside, Lin Jingan came back with his wife and children, and was greeting the family.
Geng and the others knew that their family would come back before the big sacrifice, and there were not many surprises. However, the Li family was secretly surprised by the changes in his in-law's family.
She has always been proud of the pair of children she gave birth to, she spent a lot of money to let Lan Zhen learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from a female gentleman in the town, Lan Zhen did not live up to her expectations, just like a noble girl, and He Ze is also the only one among all the grandchildren of the Lin family to go to school.
But now it seems that Qiuhua and Dongxue are not like a country girl with a small family, and even Heshun, Hexi, and Hele, who will only work in the cemetery when they grow up, look faintly like a scholar, what is going on?
And these children are no longer skinny. Is it true that the family has the blue eyes of the nobles as said outside? Eating good stuff every day?
"Where's Daddy?"
"In the back room." Geng greeted Er'er's family, "The house has been cleaned for you, the quilts and bedding have been dried, and it has been fine for the past few days, and it has not rained." As he spoke, he glanced at his second granddaughter.
This granddaughter was raised delicately by her daughter-in-law and in-laws, and when it rained, she thought the house was muddy inside and outside, and would rather stay in bed and stay on the ground than eat, drink, and Lazar.
Geng sighed secretly, although he wanted to say a few words, but his son and daughter-in-law were there, and she would only annoy people if she said more. He beckoned his two grandchildren into the house and brought them food.
Li said with a smile: "You guys are busy, leave us alone, let's see Dad." ”
Lin Qiushan has a workshop at home, and everyone knows that he usually takes odd jobs in the house. Li pulled Lin Jingan before entering, and was blinded by the blinding gold and silver, jewelry and jade materials on the table.
Have you ever had that, after getting off work, it was dark, I went to look for a house, I looked at one house after another, and then I went home, it was already midnight, and there was no one on the road......
Cry one~
