A poor son 7

Little He felt Sanlang's eyes, so he quickly lowered his head, took a step back, and dared not speak.

The old lady said, "What to buy? She is worthy of it! Saburo, don't worry about those who are not allowed to go to the table, you only know how to urge men to stand up."

Erlang looked at Saburo, but didn't think deeply. He thought Saburo was trying to relieve the embarrassment, so he smiled, "Yes, third brother, don't worry about women's affairs. What a sis..."

Little He glanced at Erlang quickly, then lowered his head again.

Erlang couldn't tell it, but He, who is a mother-in-law, had good eyes.

I immediately breathed in my chest, unable to get up or down.

But this kind of thing cannot be clearly stated. And her stupid son was blind. She grabbed Xiao He and left the main hall.

Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master saw a farce, and followed Erlang and Sanlang out. Before leaving, Qian gave the Fourth Master a piece of silver and asked them to spend money in the city.

The Fourth Master rolled his throat twice before calling out 'mother', "Don't worry, we'll be back tomorrow."

Qian smiled and pulled the clothes flat for the Fourth Master, then looked up and down, and raised a thumbs up.

This is the sky-blue straight-fitting robe worn by Master Pupu, which is particularly energetic.

Carrying a basket of dry food in his hand, a group of four people heading to the town. Only in the town can there be a carriage to the county town. Each person is five cents.

This carriage is a convertible without a carport. There are more people sitting there.

The seat Lin Yutong found was the head on one side and the Fourth Master on the other side, so it was also save the irrelevant people.

After the rain, the road was a little muddy and it was not easy to walk. If the carriage was trapped in the mud, people would have to go down and carry the car out.

The clothes on the Fourth Master were splashed with mud ideas.

There were two women in the car, and they didn't have to move. But Saburo also sat for granted and didn't move. He couldn't help but look at him squintedly.

By noon, there was still a small distance left.

Everyone in the car took out the dry food and started gnawing.

The Fourth Master handed the basket to Erlang and asked him to take it first. Four eggs per person, four pancakes per person, and one piece per person.

Lin Yutong gave most of his cakes to the Fourth Master, but Sanlang didn't eat his portion and gave them to Erlang.

He turned around and asked the driver who was catching the bus, "Is there no teahouse on the road?"

The coachman was stunned and said, "Teaside? Yes, there is, not far away."

Erlang was clever and quickly finished the pancakes with a few bites.

The so-called teahouse is a thatched house, a thatched shed, two tables, and several stools.

Sanlang asked a few people to go down to have a meal, but the Fourth Master didn't move, "I've eaten it, so I'm not hungry. Go and eat with my second brother."

Others didn't go to eat, but they didn't have the impatience to wait. It was just a bit convenient for rest here, or to ask for a glass of water to drink.

Seeing that there was no one around, the Fourth Master whispered: "When you arrive in the county town, you told your uncle not to treat Saburo specifically to the face of the county magistrate."

Lin Yutong looked at the Fourth Master in confusion, "This uncle... there must be some businessmen's charity..."

"So, I asked you to remind him, is it a blessing or a disaster to rashly pull it up?" The Fourth Master glanced at Saburo who was drinking tea in the tea dormitory and whispered.

"What did you see?" Lin Yutong asked.

"Sanlang returned to the door and went to the Fan family's house in the town." The Fourth Master explained.

That's right, the county town is far away, so it's impossible to go there on the same day, and it's time to go back on the same day. It only means that County Wei Fan is not in the county town, but in the town.

But the county magistrate of a county is second only to the county magistrate. There is no reason not to stay in the county government office, but stay in his hometown for several days. This is unreasonable.

"Not only stayed in his hometown, he also invited gentry from the entire Shunping County to hold a banquet with great fanfare." The Fourth Master explained again.

Lin Yutong nodded, and Sanlang and Fan returned to the door and explained the grand occasion of the banquet very clearly.

She felt aroused, "Isn't this official unable to return to his original hometown?"

The Fourth Master nodded, "I asked, this county magistrate, whose ancestral home is in Hejian, fled to Qingyang Town. When he arrived here, he was only eight years old. He was adopted by the Fan family and then married into a son-in-law."

"Ah!" Lin Yutong was stunned, "Isn't this similar to his original origin?" He just took advantage of the loopholes.

"In Shunping County, this county magistrate has a lot of foundation. He returned to Qingyang Town at this moment, either deliberately trying to control the county magistrate or the county magistrate is very big. He can't afford to provoke him, so he took the initiative to take a step back." The Fourth Master glanced at Sanlang in the distance, "If he controls his boss, this person would be too domineering and will not last long. If the county magistrate is big, he would not be able to retreat just if he wants to. Besides, under the name of getting married to the concubine's daughter, so many prominent people are gathering, and this is a demonstration with the county magistrate."

Lin Yutong understood that there is a fight for power and profit everywhere.

The seemingly inconspicuous little things were connected together, but the Fourth Master asked him to see the changes in the county town clearly and clearly.

"When you arrive at the county town, go and inquire again, so that you can know how to do it in the future." The Fourth Master said, then helped Lin Yutong get on the carriage again, because the people on the carriage were back again.

Lin Yutong was sitting in the carriage, still thinking about what the Fourth Master said. Going with the flow is always the smartest way. To be able to pass the first level of the imperial examination, you have to pass the county magistrate. Therefore, it is a blessing or a disaster to become a relative of the county magistrate for no reason.

On the carriage, Erlang was still picking his teeth, "Fourth brother, you are too honest. Why don't you save when you go out? Don't look at the teahouse, the food is pretty good, the mutton noodles are fragrant!"

As he said that, he also burped. The smell of mutton made people feel uncomfortable.

The Fourth Master smiled and didn't say anything. He only looked at the black dirt under the nails of the cooker. He lost his appetite.

Sanlang actually didn't eat it, so he gave it to Erlang all the serving he wanted.

When they arrived at the county town, the four of them got off the bus. They went to the shop to buy something for Uncle Lin’s house, two pounds of pork and two snacks. Erlang followed him and couldn’t do anything to add something.

The big car shop is right at the gate of the city, with a wide door, a carriage entering and leaving. A young man of fifteen or sixteen is directing the carriage into and out.

"Third Brother." Lin Yutong shouted. This young man is Uncle Lin's only son, Lin Shuanzhu. He is half a year older than Lin Yutong.

Lin Shuanzhu turned his head and saw that it was Lin Yutong. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Niu Niu? I didn't expect you to come. Go in quickly." Then he bowed to the Fourth Master and the others to say hello.

While enthusiastically giving in, he waved his hand to ask his friend to come and serve him.

This was the first time Lin Yutong saw an ancient cart shop. When the cart entered the gate, there was a large courtyard. There was a circle of sheds around the courtyard wall, which were for carriages and goods. Further inside, there were a room for carriages, with the door open, and you could see two rows of kangs inside. There was a shop here for two cents to make up for free. If you wanted to eat, it was also a money. For most people who went out, this was of course the first place.

Along the street, there are two-story buildings, which are the inns. They are also divided into upper and lower rooms and better orders of wine and food.

Today, when relatives come to the door, they naturally cannot receive them in the inn. Lin Shuanzhu joked and led the people into a house with only one wall. This is where he lives. The corner doors that are open are locked, and only his family can have the keys to open.

Although the store is spacious, you can live in your own home, which is just a small courtyard house. There are three main rooms with hatchbacks.

"Dad, mom, who do you think is coming?" Lin Shuanzhu shouted as soon as he entered the yard.

Lin Jishi was holding a bamboo pole in the yard to make dates. When he heard his son's shouting, he turned his head, but saw his little niece following behind him with a smile on his face. He smiled and put down the bamboo pole, "You girl, you have only been married for a few days." As he said that, he turned around and shouted, "Cousin, Niu Niu is here."

Lin Jishi married the niece of the old lady of the Lin family, so he kept calling him cousin. He grew up in his uncle's house and kept calling him that, but now he can't change his words. Perhaps because of his close relatives, the two had four children before giving birth to Shuanzhu, so this was finally developed and named Shuanzhu.

Zhu lifted the curtain and came out, and walked quickly to pull Lin Yutong into the house.

Lin Jishi and Shuan Zhu invited the fourth master and three brothers to the main hall to talk, and Zhu took Lin Yutong to the inner room. Halfway through the walk, he remembered something and said to Shuan Zhu: "Speak to the kitchen in the store and ask for a good table to come."

Shuanzhu responded.

Lin Yutong was not polite, and went inside with Zhu.

This person is not only the eldest aunt but also the cousin. His cheap father is not called Zhu's sister-in-law, but the cousin. It can be seen that the relationship between him and his children is still more serious.

"Did the Yin family make things difficult for you?" Zhu said, then took candied jerky meat for Lin Yutong and handed it to her for food.

Lin Yutong shook her head, looked out, and then whispered: "You and Uncle, don't look at my face, and you don't have to be close to the Yin family."

When Mrs. Zhu heard something in this, she said, "How about you say something?"

Only then did Lin Yutong hint what the Fourth Master said on the road to Zhu.

Zhu nodded, and then smiled: "You little head can't think of such a thing. I'm afraid that the old man might have done something good this time. Your son-in-law is a brainy person. I understand. We ordinary people, just stay away and respect a little, and then we will be done."

But when eating, the courtesy was not careless at all. The table was really top-notch.

This is to make face for Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master.

After dinner, Sanlang said that he had something to do, "Second brother and fourth brother together."

What's the matter that was done at night?

Lin Jishi didn't ask, and said with a smile: "Don't live outside, leave a door for you."

The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong naturally lived in the Lin family's wing room, but Erlang and Sanlang and Lin family left a room in the inn.
