The five people made a few trips a few years ago and made a lot of money. Because they were reluctant to give up the opportunity to make money, they didn't stop working until the morning of New Year's Eve. The three of them returned the carriage and then calculated their income.
After dividing the money that Li Lin borrowed, he actually made more than forty taels of silver.
They didn't expect that such a small business could make so much money. The five of them were surprised and felt extremely happy. They sat together and discussed, planning to use twenty taels of silver as funds for the coming year, and each of the remaining five taels of silver would be divided into five taels. There are some remaining fish and lotus roots to go home.
The remaining fish and lotus roots are already the worst looking, but they are still edible. For ordinary people, stewing them in a pot and drinking a bowl of soup in the winter is the best dish. .
Moreover, they also had the money to go to the academy to study next year in their arms. The cold winter wind blew on their faces, making their dry faces turn red, and they felt like they were carrying a warm soup in their hearts.
It seems that the life filled with blood and tears has finally embarked on a smooth road. They can study hard, and their relatives at home don't have to work so hard to make money for them to study.
Thank you very much sir!
Knowing that Li Lin had returned to the Imperial City and the academy had not yet started school, the five of them went to visit Li Lin in the small courtyard where he lived, bought some food and wine as a thank you gift, and then returned the twenty taels of silver to Li Pro.
Naturally, the things borrowed must be repaid, and a person must learn to be grateful. Naturally, Li Lin did not refuse. Instead, he had some food cooked and had a meal with a few students.
Finally, let them go home and study hard in the future.
Only seven or eight days passed, and it was time for the academy to start classes. Li Lin continued to return to Yishan Academy to teach students, and then counted the days. By the beginning of February, he resigned as a teacher at Yishan Academy and prepared to leave. Yishan Academy.
The students couldn't bear to leave him, so they asked him to teach them the last lesson. Li Lin nodded in agreement and really gave them the last lesson.
I warn everyone to study hard and live seriously. At the same time, I also tell everyone that all banquets in the world come to an end. Along the way in life, you need to cherish the people you meet and don't leave any regrets for yourself.
The spring breeze in February comes slowly, and the ice and snow melt. The spring breeze still carries the coldness of the ice and snow, but wherever it goes, trees sprout and the grass is covered with layers of green.
Spring comes quietly to the world.
The wedding is approaching, and there is only one month left at this time. Su Wan's wedding dress has also been put to the final touch. It looks so beautiful that it makes people feel extremely stunning just by looking at it.
Li Lin asked Mrs. Jing to help prepare the things needed for the wedding.
Some things can also be prepared at this time. Things such as banquet guests need to be arranged, and the new yard also needs to be tidied up, waiting for the new couple to move in.
At this time, Su Wan was also dizzy with work. Although she was a bride to be married, she should have been quietly waiting for marriage in her boudoir, but her dowry was too much, and it amounted to a huge sum. The data cannot be sorted out.
Today she was either trying on dresses and meeting the steward, or she was sorting out her dowry to see if there were any mistakes or omissions, as well as the issue of keeping the maids in her yard.
The first-class maid on Su Wan's side is Xiao Sang Xiao Bei. She has been with Su Wan since she was half a year old, so naturally she wants to go with her.
Further down are the four second-class maids, Zhixiu, Zhiyue, Zhiwei, and Azhu. These are all fixed. The remaining maids are arranged by the house, so there is no need to consider those.
Su Wan first invited Zhixiu Zhiyue Zhiwei to come over and asked them what they thought. If they were willing to follow Su Wan, Su Wan would naturally take them with them. If not, she would arrange a way out for them.
The three of them were actually a little uneasy. They were not Xiao Sang Xiao Pei. They were embarrassed in front of their master and had a master who felt sorry for them. As long as they served the master well, he would have his own plans and arrangements for them in the future.
But these second-class maids were uniformly assigned from the house, unlike Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei who grew up with their master and learned to read and go out to gain experience.
Moreover, they are older than Xiao Sang and Xiao Pei, and they cannot wait for these two to get married and become first-class maids, so that they can find a future for themselves in front of their master.
It would be fine if Su Wan married a young master from a certain palace in the Imperial City. In the future, they would be able to choose a steward or shopkeeper at will. For them, it would be considered a good match, but Su Wan wanted to marry Li Lin.
I heard that after getting married, they would have to go back to their hometown in a remote place to live. If they followed there, what kind of good marriage would they get in the future? Could it be possible to randomly choose a farmer to marry and then start farming?
It's not that they don't want to follow their master, it's just that they feel panicked when they think about that kind of future.
Although they work as maids in high-end mansions, they don't have to do any heavy work. They work seriously and live a better life than girls from small families.
Su Wan said: "If you want to follow me, you need to make some preparations. If you don't want to, you have been serving in the courtyard for a long time. You have always been diligent and diligent. As the master, I should also make arrangements for you. Good escape route.”
"If you come with me, Shiqiao Village is a rural area after all, and there are a lot of inconveniences. If you go there, you have to think carefully. I won't allow any regrets or unwillingness to happen there. I don't show mercy at all."
"If you want to betrothed to someone else, I have some young shopkeepers who will stay in the Imperial City to look after the shop in the future. If you are willing, it will be a good match. If you don't want to betrothed to the shopkeeper, there are also young stewards or young shopkeepers in the house who are suitable for marriage. Guard, if both parties agree, I will make the decision."
"If you don't want to betrothed to someone else, there are two ways to go. If you are willing to leave the house, I will ask my grandmother to return your deed of betrayal and find your own future. In the future, you will have nothing to do with the house. Of course, everything in the house will be yours. You have to be tight-lipped and don’t reveal even a single word to anyone.”
"There is another way. If you still don't want to get married, Aluo's yard is not full of people. If you are willing to go and be a second-class maid, that's fine. However, I said this beforehand. If you go to A Luo's place, don't think about what A Luo wants to do when she's young, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."
The three of them looked at each other, then lowered their heads in deep thought.
In fact, Su Wan is already an extremely kind master, and has made all-out arrangements for their future. If they want to follow her, she will take them with them. If not, she will make arrangements for those who want to get married, and those who want to leave the house. She also made arrangements for those who wanted to stay in the house.
And you still have to choose the person you want to marry. If it were another master, it would be a favor for you to marry someone who is pretty good.
