He has always been a person who doesn't like to have his life arranged by others.
That's why in my previous life, after leaving college, I didn't listen to my parents and take the public examination, but chose to start my own business. With no capital, he first worked as a graphic designer for an advertising company for two years, and then used the saved salary to open his own advertising company. A few years later, he opened his own toy factory, in which he designed all the puppet toys. Nearly ten years of hard work has yielded good results. He has a car, a house and savings, and he can live the life he wants.
Now in Da Jing Dynasty, for now, I can be considered a small success. But if you don't want to be easily arranged by the world, then you need to work harder.
Lin Yuanqiu has always believed that if a person does not work hard when he is young and strong, then what awaits him is that he will be unable to control himself when he is old and weak.
Therefore, if I don't want to end up miserable in this life, I must at least have the same "money" and "power".
Thinking of this, Lin Yuanqiu stood up and bolted the door.
It was still unknown when the power would be obtained or whether it could be obtained. He was prepared to earn the money closest to him first.
Opening the book box, Lin Yuanqiu took out one of the bundles, opened it, and then took out the paints and pens and ink. By the way, there was also a new inkstone and three incense sticks.
Qingxiang Lin Yuanqiu didn't prepare anything. As for a new inkstone, new pens, new ink, and new paints, they must all be used, otherwise his quality will make him unable to be frank.
…
The next day, during breakfast, Lao Lintou announced something, that is, the public school was going to add another six acres of paddy field to Chunmei's dowry.
He also asked Lin Dazhu to ask around when he had time, or go directly to Yaxing to see if there was any suitable paddy field to buy. Also, be sure to buy fertile land with good harvests.
After what Old Lintou said, in addition to spring swallows, spring grass, and the sound of Lin Yuanbai and Lin Yuanhuai peeling egg shells, all the sounds in the hall could be heard.
Ms. Zhou was the first to react. She was so happy that she burst into tears. She quickly stood up and thanked her parents-in-law, "Thank you, my daughter-in-law!"
Chunmei was also very excited, "Granddaughter, thank you, grandma!"
As for Lin Dazhu, the corners of his eyes were moist. He really didn't expect that his parents would buy such a decent dowry for Chunmei. This is six acres of paddy field, which costs more than forty taels of silver!
In addition to Lin Dazhu and the others, Lin Erzhu and Liu were equally excited. They also had daughters. When Chunxiu got married, such a dowry would definitely be indispensable.
As for Lin Sanzhu and Feng, they already knew it last night.
It turned out that Lin Sanzhu, who had eavesdropped on everything, returned to the room and told Mrs. Feng about the six acres of dowry land given by the father-in-law to each granddaughter.
However, Lin Sanzhu deliberately concealed the words of his son, "In the future, the dowry of spring owl will definitely be more than that of the eldest sister."
In Lin Sanzhu's opinion, his dog was still too young and had too little experience.
Don’t even think that just six acres of paddy field costs more than 40 taels of silver.
Including the box-pressing silver, clothes from all seasons, cloth boxes and cages, and treasure barrels for descendants, etc., the total amount of zero and zero amounts to at least fifty taels of silver.
In the future, if Chunyan and the others want to exceed this dowry when they get married, how is it possible?
So as a father, he could only hide it for his bluffing son, so as not to be unable to do it later, which would be so embarrassing.
Zhou has always been a smart person. After returning to the room after breakfast, he remembered that his father-in-law specially called Yuan Qiu to the east room last night.
Also, my parents-in-law had never mentioned that they would give Chunmei property as a dowry.
Therefore, the six acres of dowry land could not have been proposed by my nephew.
With this in mind, when the three sisters-in-law were sitting together doing embroidery work, Mrs. Zhou deliberately tricked Mrs. Feng into asking her questions.
I'm afraid only a fool would not say anything about something like this that would help his son.
Therefore, Mrs. Feng simply borrowed the donkey from Poxia to reveal everything her husband had overheard last night. He also specifically said that when Chunxiu, Chunyan, and Chuncao get married in the future, they will also wear dowries like this.
Mrs. Liu couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.
As for Zhou, her gratitude to Lin Yuanqiu was beyond words.
Mrs. Zhou knew clearly that without the help of her younger brother, her Chunmei would probably have no choice but to marry into an ordinary farm family, let alone such a decent dowry.
…
Lin Yuanqiu spent this two-day holiday busy.
Now that the family is busy making persimmons, he naturally has to help.
After the few people who went up the mountain to pick persimmons early in the morning came back, Lin Yuanqiu joined the team of peeling the persimmons.
In addition to peeling the persimmons, he also turned the persimmons over with his third brother and fourth brother.
I finally understand why this is what they love to do most.
The two of them turned around and soon each had a persimmon in their mouths. Lin Yuanbai even handed one to him thoughtfully, "Here, fifth brother, I'll give you the biggest one. Eat it quickly, but don't worry." My grandma saw it."
Before Lin Yuanqiu could take the persimmons, he heard his loud voice at the door of the kitchen, "Tell me, which number are you eating now?"
With that said, he came over swinging a big broom.
Lin Yuanqiu quickly took back his half-stretched hand.
I haven't received it yet, so it shouldn't count, right?
…
Chapter 78 Yuan Song gets married
When you are busy, time naturally flies by, and you have to go to school again tomorrow.
When packing the book box this time, Lin Yuanqiu did not bring all the inkstones with him.
Instead, I picked out a few of good styles and materials and put them back in the drawer.
After all, if you buy a brand new inkstone like this, you will have to spend four to five hundred yuan.
Therefore, Lin Yuanqiu was still going to follow his previous idea and give a piece to each of his brothers and sisters in the family when he found a suitable reason.
As for the appropriate reason, when Lin Yuanqiu saw the thousand-character essay in the drawer, he immediately slapped his head. Isn't he stupid? Didn't he already have an excellent excuse?
Nowadays, the practice of earning money from copying books has come to an end. I can definitely say that the inkstone was bought with the money earned from copying books.
As long as you don't take out all the inkstones at once, there is absolutely no problem.
Also, I told myself that this was a second-hand inkstone, and the price was much cheaper than a new inkstone, so I couldn't help myself and bought it.
Lin Yuanqiu blushed just thinking about this lie. I don’t know if I should tell more lies in the future.
Alas, forget it, let’s talk about it first and then talk about it.
Thinking that his cousin was still using his previous whetstone to sharpen ink, Lin Yuanqiu felt that it was necessary to send him a piece now.
Thinking like this, Lin Yuanqiu took out a pine flower stone inkstone engraved with Ruyi Xiangyun from the drawer and hurried to Lin Yuanfeng's place.
It was getting late at this time, and Gao Cui was still in confinement. Lin Yuanqiu did not enter the house. He only knocked on the door and called out his cousin, "Brother, this is an old inkstone I came across by chance. The price seems to be quite affordable." , so I couldn’t help but buy it, thinking it would be a perfect gift for my eldest brother.”
After saying that, Lin Yuanqiu handed over the square songhua inkstone in his hand.
Lin Yuanfeng did not expect that his fifth brother would give him an inkstone, and he quickly thanked him after taking it.
In fact, he had already thought about buying an inkstone, but when he thought of the price of several hundred coins, he was a little reluctant to part with it. In addition, I don’t use ink much on weekdays, so I just bought ink sticks and continued to use the half of the whetstone.
Thinking of half a whetstone, Lin Yuanfeng immediately remembered the scene where the third uncle broke the whetstone to grind ink and let Nai know, and was chased all over the courtyard.
What Lin Yuanfeng was thinking at that time was that his third uncle had tried every means to make his little cousin study and practice calligraphy.
Obviously, Lin Yuanqiu also remembered this incident.
So, after returning to the room, he picked up the inkstone that his father bought after carrying hundreds of bags of grain, and looked at it carefully.
The small body of the inkstone has a flying egret engraved on the cover. Although it was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, every time he saw it, Lin Yuanqiu felt as if he had seen it for the first time.
He will definitely have other inkstones in this life, but Lin Yuanqiu knows that the inkstones in the future, no matter how famous they are and the materials they use, will not hold the same place as this one in his heart.
…
At just nine o'clock, Lin Yuanqiu woke up. After putting on his clothes and folding the thin quilt, and getting off the bed, he rolled up all the pictures he drew last night and put them in the book box.
Last night, he saw that there were so many paints left at home, so he specially painted a set of four panels, which were freehand landscapes of the four seasons.
When Lin Yuanqiu was going to send the paintings to Shopkeeper Hu later, he also sold these pictures.
For him right now, apart from studying hard, the only thing left is to earn a lot of money.
…
Every day when she returns to private school, Ms. Feng will get up early so that she can make breakfast for her husband and son.
The flour in the cupboard was put in by Wu last night. It was a big bowl filled with four eggs, which were used to make egg noodles.
Cooking is not something Feng is good at. When she was at her parents' home, she did little other work except embroidery to earn money for the family. So even though I've done it many times, I still don't have a plan at the moment.
She knew it would be like this. When Mrs. Zhou walked in, she saw this busy look, which made her want to laugh. The third brother and sister's hands are flexible and delicate when doing embroidery, but when it comes to cooking, they become like sticks.
"Third brother and sister, I just went to the field to pick green vegetables and came back. You go and wash them. It will be delicious when you put them into the noodles." As he said this, Mrs. Zhou took the pottery basin in which Mrs. Feng was mixing the noodles. "Let me come here."
Seeing that her sister-in-law had come over to help her early, Feng snickered. Now her husband and Yuan Qiu didn't have to eat the gnocchi she made. The egg noodles cooked by her sister-in-law were very delicious.
"Sister-in-law, why am I so stupid? I have learned this many times, but the noodles turn into lumps when they are put into the pot."
Zhou added water and kneaded the dough, and said quickly, "What's the hurry? In my opinion, my brothers and sisters are blessed people and don't need to be busy. In the future, I will be designated to live in a high-end mansion, and the maids and wives will wait on me. Why do you have to cook by yourself?" "
Ms. Liu walked in with freshly washed vegetables. When she heard this, she nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister-in-law is right. I think the third sister-in-law must be a local housewife."
"I said sister-in-law and sister-in-law, we are a family. Did you two deliberately drag me along because of the local landlady? Huh, I think we don't even think about it. Is there a landlady in our family? The three of us At most she is the daughter-in-law of a landowner."
As she said that, Mrs. Feng quickly remembered the scene yesterday when her mother-in-law chased Yuanhuai and Yuanbai with a big broom. Now that she was a landowner, she couldn't hold it back anymore. After squatting down, she covered her stomach and burst out laughing, "Hahaha... Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law... you said... my mother took care of herself yesterday." The way she chases people with a broom...doesn't she look like the landlady in the play chasing after a shovel with a hoe...Hahahaha..."
Hearing this and thinking about yesterday's scene, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu couldn't help bursting into laughter, and then they also started laughing.
Hahahahahaha...
At this time, Mrs. Wu, who had been disturbed by her three idiot daughter-in-laws early in the morning, was on her way to the kitchen...
Just like the previous times, when he arrived at the private school, Lin Yuanqiu put his books and pens and ink in the dormitory, then carried the book box to Hexi Street.
Shopkeeper Hu was naturally happy to see Lin Yuanqiu coming.
God knows how upset he has been by the guests in the past few days, especially two of them, who are waiting for Bodhisattva portraits to be given to the elderly at home to wish them birthdays. Therefore, how can Shopkeeper Hu not be anxious.
Fortunately, they were all delivered today. It is really a blessing from the Bodhisattva.
Lin Yuanqiu was in a hurry to go back, so he didn't hesitate and quickly took out all the paintings and a few inkstones rolled in the book box.
Shopkeeper Hu first looked at the six portraits of Bodhisattva that he had been thinking about for a long time. He saw that they were lifelike and lifelike. They were truly a stroke of genius.
Satisfied, quite satisfied.
