Chapter 84
"Grandma, are you really not going to take care of the old lady?"
Zhuqing had been waiting for the old lady for a few days and came over to ask Lin Yunwan what she meant.
Lin Yunwan still had the same attitude: "I won't go."
Anyway, the Lu family doesn't dare to provoke her now, so why should she ask for trouble?
Zhu Qing sighed and added, "Recently, I always drink to drown my sorrows. It's already late at night when I come back."
Lin Yunwan frowned.
It's really useless.
Men from their Lin family never rely on drinking to solve problems.
Lu Changgong was writing silently beside him. Lin Yunwan didn't want him to hear bad things, so she told Zhu Qing: "Don't talk about this in the future. It will spoil the child."
Zhu Qing said yes and glanced at Lu Changgong by the way. He saw that the eldest young master was concentrating on writing, as if he was not listening to what was going on outside the window.
The Chuisi Hall was very quiet, with smoke curling up from the incense burner.
Zhuqing felt peaceful.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is coming soon."
She listened to the howling cold wind and talked to Lin Yunwan with a smile.
Lin Yunwan responded softly.
Zhuqing didn't know what she was thinking of, and she was in a very good mood. She leaned on the soft pillow and said with a smile: "In the past few years in Zhuangzi, what I was most afraid of was winter. I didn't have good clothes to wear, and I didn't have much to eat. full."
Lin Yunwan didn't know what life was like in Zhuangzi, so she asked her: "Then how did you survive?"
Zhuqing smiled, lowered his eyes and said, "People always have a way to survive."
I won’t go into details about how I managed to survive year after year at Zhuangzi.
It was getting late, she felt a little sleepy, so she stood up and said, "I'm back."
Lin Yunwan remembered that when she first came today, she talked about asking for a doctor, and said: "The doctor will come here tomorrow. If you really get healthy, you don't have to come here all the time when the weather is cold."
Zhuqing Fushen said: "Thank you grandma for taking care of me."
Before leaving, she glanced at Lu Changgong. She really wanted a child, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl. If she could have Master Changgong as smart and filial, she would be willing to die in this life.
Pingye sent Zhuqing out and said with a smile when she came in: "Madam, I always feel like it's going to snow."
So fast?
Lin Yunwan raised her eyebrows, and after counting the days, she found that she had indeed been reborn for a long time.
She told Lu Changgong: "A few years ago, you first went to the clan school to get familiar with the teachers and classmates. After the holidays, I will ask you to learn from the master to teach you how to practice boxing and sword."
Lin Yunwan paused and said, "It will be very tiring at the end of the year. You have to be prepared."
Ten years of hard work is no joke, and it is even more difficult to master both civil and military skills.
Lu Changgong was not afraid of hardship, he just said: "I will listen to my mother's arrangements."
Lin Yunwan nodded, she had other plans in mind, but when it was inconvenient to say it to Lu Changgong, she closed her eyes and thought to herself.
"Bring me the needle and thread."
She told her girl to continue making winter clothing for Lu Changgong, her mother and her brother.
The work was almost finished. When Lu Changgong left, he took away the needle, gave him a pair of gloves, and said with a smile: "Take it and wear it, don't feel bad. I also made knee pads for you here. I'll see you again in a few days." for you."
He patted the cotton and fabric used to make knee pads. They all had colors and patterns that were very suitable for his age.
Lu Changgong pursed his lips and left with a slight smile.
As soon as they left, Lin Yunwan discussed with the two girls: "Gong will be nine years old after a long time." He was ten years old. For a man of this age, his mother had to arrange some things for him.
Taoye knew it in her heart, she said: "The girl who serves Master Yun Yi is the one you helped Madam choose."
Lin Yunwan nodded and said to Taoye: "You should pay more attention to girls of the right age."
And the girl that Brother Qing liked in his previous life...
She went through it in her mind and didn't think much about it.
If Brother Qing still wants to pick that girl, she won't stop him.
The Wei family sent people over to ask Lin Yunwan how to manage the inner house. Now it was Tao Ye who was in charge. She picked up the curtain and went out, answering a few words if she knew something, and saying she didn't know if she didn't know.
Lin Yunwan now only focuses on Changgong and her family's affairs.
Just because he was sleepy, Taoye dealt with the Wei family's people and came in with a happy face and said: "Madam, someone from the Lin family is here!"
Lin Yunwan woke up from her nap and asked quickly: "Who is coming?"
Taoye said that Manager Lin was back.
Lin Yunwan took the maid to meet him in the hall outside.
"Is the exchange going smoothly?"
When she asked, she looked at the steward's expression.
Manager Lin lowered his head and did not look at Lin Yunwan. He bowed with a smile and said, "Auntie, it went very well. This is the deed and the banknote. There is one more..."
"A what?"
What he gave to the maid was a brocade box.
Manager Lin said: "My aunt guessed it right. Shopkeeper Luo's relatives did want to take over the shop, but he didn't have enough money, so he had to scrape it together. It was still not enough. I refused to let go and told him After arguing for several days, he gave me an ancestral jade pendant in exchange for it."
"I thought the jade pendant was in good condition, so I took it first. I've already checked it with the pawn shop over there, and it's indeed a good item."
"Auntie, do you want to be a pawn or keep it? It's up to you."
Lin Yunwan nodded and did not blame the steward. It is not easy to sell the shop at market price in a short period of time.
She opened the brocade box and said, "It's indeed a good thing. But it's useless for me to keep it."
Manager Lin asked: "Auntie, do you want me to make another trip? I'll take the jade pendant and sell it for you."
Lin Yunwan held the jade pendant and thought for a while before saying, "He said it was an ancestral jade pendant, although that may not be true." Otherwise, he would have sold the ancestral jade pendant for a shop, which would be a shame to his ancestors.
"If it's true, it wouldn't be a good idea to sell it to him."
She took a compromise method: "Find a larger pawn shop, pawn the work, and keep the pawn ticket. If he wants to redeem it later, give him the pawn ticket and let him redeem it. If he doesn't want to, If you wait two or three years for redemption, you will naturally become a dead man."
It won't delay her exchange for silver.
Manager Lin said it was a good idea.
Lin Yunwan gave him the jade pendant and more than half of the silver, and told him: "Don't tell my mother and brother how much silver the shop exchanged in total. Just say that the bulk of it is left here with me. This is just the money I spent to buy medicine for my mother." "
Manager Lin didn't want it because he knew that if the young master found out, he would definitely not let him take it back.
Lin Yunwan said: "Take it. During the time you left, a lot of things happened at home. Yun Yi didn't know where he found five hundred-year-old ginseng, and he didn't know how much money the family would spend on me."
Manager Lin had gone back to the Lin family a long time ago. He already knew these things and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the ginseng. Young Master Yun Yi went to Prince Huan's Mansion to ask for it."
The Lu family must have had no shame to accept it, so the ginseng was returned in the end, but Qi Lingheng was given to Mr. Li Qi again. As for how to use it, that was up to the doctor.
"Prince Huan's Mansion?"
Lin Yunwan was a little surprised. Why would her younger brother beg Prince Huan?
"Auntie, you don't know..."
Manager Lin hesitated to speak. Before he left, he said, "You can ask Master Yi yourself. I'm afraid I can't explain clearly."
Some doubts were planted in Lin Yunwan's heart.
