Master Lin was grabbed by him and said with a bitter look: “Brother, can you give me a few more days? I’m a little tight recently—”
The Gu family pushed him away and said angrily: “Fuck you! I’m in a hurry! Our fourth master is back, and we’re doing the accounting! You pay me back quickly, and when our fourth master is gone, I will I’ll give you another loan, or we’ll finish the game together!”
Master Lin dared to say that the 10,000 taels of silver bills had already been exchanged for gold by him and then wasted.
The housekeeper was really anxious, stomping his feet and said, “The land deeds for your two yards and one thousand acres of land are with me! If you don’t pay me back, I will sell them!”
Master Lin hurriedly cried and shouted: “Don’t don’t don’t – you sold it and let our family drink the northwest wind?”
“Hey wow—” Mother Lin heard that she was going to sell it, so she collapsed on the table and burst into tears with a wow sound, and threw the embroidered handkerchief and said mournfully, “Our Lin family is going to go bankrupt—”
Lin Baozhu opened her mouth wide, went bankrupt?
She squeezed the embroidered handkerchief tightly and looked anxious. This means that their family has two yards of 1,000 acres of land. They want to sell them. Where do they live?
The housekeeper, surnamed Zhang, is the son of the Gu family. Seeing their family of three weeping and looking impatient, he shouted sharply, “It is only right and proper to pay off debts! I don’t want to embarrass you either, but if you don’t embarrass you, you will embarrass me! If the fourth master came back and found out that I secretly loaned you a loan, he would have to break one of my legs! You are limited to take out 10,000 taels of silver notes today! Otherwise, I will sell your land and yard tomorrow to raise money!”
Master Lin almost knelt down for him, pulled him and shouted, “Brother! Brother! It’s not that I didn’t pay you back, but that my money was all stolen by the people of your fourth master. !”
The fourth master of the Gu family is Gu Xiping.
Butler Zhang raised his brows with anger, and spat at him viciously: “Bah! Rat! Our fourth master is standing upright, and will we go to rob you of the money?”
“No, no, it’s like this…”
…
After hearing this, Butler Zhang scolded him for a stupid donkey, and said bluntly: “I don’t care if you steal! It’s okay to borrow it! It’s okay to sell your wife! It’s okay to sell your daughter! I have 10,000 taels of silver, and I will sell all your land tomorrow!”
After uttering harsh words, he walked away in a rage.
Master Lin was paralyzed on the ground: “It’s over, it’s over, my Lin family is over…”
I saw that all the maids who were invited started to pack up and leave.
Master Lin was furious: “What are you running for?”
“Your family doesn’t even have a piece of land, and you drink the northwest wind with you if you don’t run?”
Master Lin was so angry that he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, and he thought of something: “What about that unfilial son of Lin Dashan!”
A servant rolled his eyes: “Going into the city.”
…
Jinling, Mochou Lake.
On an exquisite painting boat in the middle of the lake.
“Hahaha, Brother Lin really has the courage to start a salt trader in this troubled time.”
Several young talents gathered together, singing and dancing around the singer, and the scenery on the boat was beautiful.
Lin Dashan squinted his eyes full of evil and stared at the singer’s willow waist, with a smug look on his face: “This is thanks to the support of our old man, without him, where would I be? Hahaha-“
Several talents immediately raised their glasses and laughed together: “Yes, yes, Brother Lin has a good fate. It is really a blessing from a previous life to meet such a generous and unwieldy father!” /
…
“Is this the Gu family?”
In order to set off his image of a down-and-out commoner, Mr. Lin deliberately changed to a worn-out blue-gray straight shirt.
On both sides, Lin Mu and Lin Baozhu, who were wearing the same color, were both covered with headscarves.
Lin Baozhu’s long pearls are lustrous and white, and she watched the bustling streets on both sides of the street curiously with her big eyes. The gray waistband did not affect her dazzling appearance at all, on the contrary, it had a unique charm.
“It’s here, it’s here, it’s here.” Master Lin straightened his robes and stood in front of a five-width gate.
Lin Baozhu looked at it and saw lions on both sides, five steps, and a vermilion gate with a large plaque of red gold, nine dragons and green land hanging on it.
She opened her eyes wide, very imposing mansion.
When she was fourteen years old, she rarely came to Jinling City. She basically stayed in the ancestral house of the Lin family on the outskirts, or in the village.
“Later on, remember to keep your breath low, say kind words, keep your voice soft, and ask the fourth master of the family to have sympathy for us…” Mother Lin told her daughter as she walked: “You can’t look around or look straight when you go in. Look at people’s faces, stare at people’s feet, and address them with respect before speaking… Do you understand?”
My mother said a lot, but Lin Baozhu memorized them one by one, and nodded solemnly: “I understand.”
My daughter always learns everything fast. Mother Lin looked at her expression and breathed a sigh of relief. She should have understood.
“You guys are ready, I’m knocking on the door.” Master Lin turned back and said to them cautiously.
As the three approached the vermilion gate, Master Lin pulled the brass ring reverently, “dong dong dong—” three times.
After a while, the door was opened by a servant, who was still a little sleepy, but when he saw them dressed up, he immediately showed a trace of impatience, and his voice was sullen: “Who are you looking for?”
Mr. Lin stuffed a piece of silver into the servant’s body~IndoMTL.com~ and said with a pleasing smile: “We are relatives of Butler Zhang, and we have something to do with him. I implore the little brother to let us in.”
The young servant stared at the large ingot of silver in his hand, and his sullen expression immediately changed into a smile: “Are you looking for a housekeeper? Then come in.”
As her parents crossed the high threshold, Lin Baozhu unconsciously wanted to glance at the west.
Mother Lin patted her and whispered, “Don’t look around!”
Lin Baozhu’s expression immediately became awe-inspiring.
“Uncle Zhou, this is a relative of Butler Zhang. You take them to Butler Zhang’s residence.”
After the boy led them to an old man, he ran away with the silver ingot.
But the old man was in a daze, and he disappeared with him.
“Gu Mansion is so big, where can I find it?” Mr. Lin stomped his feet in a hurry.
The ancient cypresses here are towering, and each tree is very lush, and all kinds of strange rocks and flowers are dotted in the garden.
There are also several pavilions and pavilions dotted with vibrant green bamboo and oddly shaped stones.
“Father, have we come to someone’s garden? Find someone to ask.” Lin Baozhu looked around, only to feel that the strange rocks were stacked together, abruptly and imposingly.
“That’s right, find a servant to ask, the old man said to be convenient, and he disappeared.” The longer he waited, the more uneasy Master Lin became, and his hands kept wiping cold sweat. Being in such a majestic courtyard, it felt as if he was going to kill him.
While looking around, a voice came.
“Old Madam, you should spend more time to relax and take a walk. For Yu’er’s matter, ask Xiping to send someone to look for it.”
