The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 253 News from Pu County

Lin Ruyu managed to bring his father back to Xuanzhou from overseas, so how could he let him risk his life again.

But in the same way, how could father Lin let his 15-year-old daughter take risks, "You can wait at home, because father will return safely."

"Daddy, let my daughter go." Lin Ruyu grabbed her father's sleeve and said with watery eyes, "Daughter has been practicing kung fu with Xianyin for almost a year, now usually two or three people can't get into her body, and my daughter Also medical skills..."

Father Lin was moved, he put his big hand on his daughter's shoulder, and explained patiently, "Jiaojiao, this trip as a father is not only to pick up your grandfather's family, but also to open up business routes. I heard from Taishou Zhu that the court first needs In response to the war in Beiting, it will not be possible to mobilize troops to besiege Anzhou in a year and a half. Therefore, the chaos caused by King An will not be subsided within a year. So I have to go there in person and take Xuanzhou, Raozhou, Ezhou, The opening of trade routes in the four prefectures of Mianzhou is not only for our family, but also for the sake of the overall situation."

Father Lin patiently explained to his daughter, "Officials have official ways, and businessmen have business ways. The world is in such a chaotic state that you can't do business only by relying on officials and leading the way. You have to negotiate with local snakes along the way. My father is the Lin family's business name. The head of the family, I went to represent the Lin family business, and it won't help if you go. Don't worry, Jiaojiao, with you waiting at home, as a father, she will never let anything happen to her."

Now that her father had reached this point, Lin Ruyu couldn't say anything more, but said, "My daughter listens to you."

"Good boy." Father Lin patted his daughter on the shoulder in relief, "Your second uncle has also grown a lot in the past two years. The business in Xuanzhou has been taken care of by your second uncle, the housekeeper, and the stewards. Both your mother and second aunt are pregnant. Pregnant, you and your sister-in-law need to pay more attention to the affairs of the house."

Lin Ruyu nodded in response, "Don't worry, Daddy, my daughter will take good care of the family."

Father Lin was really worried about his daughter, "Jiaojiao promised to be the father, and you must never leave Xuanzhou City until I come back."

Lin Ruyu's thick eyelashes trembled. It is hard to say what will happen in the future. In case of an emergency, she cannot leave Xuanzhou City. "My daughter will try not to leave Xuanzhou."

Father Lin rubbed his daughter's thin and thin shoulders, and sighed, "You're only a grown man, but you want to take all the burden on your own shoulders? You can stay at home and watch over your mother, and wait for your father to come back."

When Dad was 15 years old, he was already running a business outside.Why can't she handle things at the age of 15?Lin Ruyu raised her eyes and said seriously, "Then you must come back as soon as possible."

Compared to her restless daughter, Fang was very calm when she heard that her husband was going out, "Don't hide it from me, did something happen in Mianzhou?"

Lin's father hugged his wife's shoulders and said softly, "Nothing happened. It was Chen Ge who noticed something was wrong, so take precautions. You haven't seen your father-in-law and mother-in-law for three years. Take their two elders over, and you two will also come back together." Good reunion."

Fang's head rested on her husband's shoulder, her beautiful eyes were full of worry, "Shen Ge is a cautious person, he must have heard some news when he said that. Father and mother can go out of the city to avoid disaster. My elder brother is an official of the court." , You can’t leave your post without the court’s will. We have ruined many things for Prince An’s son, and I’m afraid he will take his anger out on elder brother.”

Once Mianzhou falls, the stubborn elder brother will be in danger.Fang bit her lip and rubbed her face against her husband's neck, "Kang Nian, my elder brother..."

Father Lin knew what his wife was worried about, "Don't worry, if there is even a chance, even if I knock the elder brother unconscious, I will carry him out."

Fang was amused by her husband, raised her hand to give him a hammer, and said what she planned in her heart, "With my elder brother's temper, even if you knock him out and carry him out, he will run back again. It's best... Mian The prefect of the state sent him out of the city, but this matter is not something we can settle."

"What we say doesn't matter, but whoever decides will do." Lin's father assured his wife, "You and the children can stay at home and wait, and I will figure out a solution."

Fang clung tightly to her husband's arms, "You must come back safely."

After watching her father go away by boat, Lin Ruyu stared at the vast river without moving.Second Uncle Lin walked up to her, looked at the river for a while, and asked with a smile, "Don't you feel dizzy when Jiaojiao looks at the ripples in the water?"

Lin Ruyu also laughed, "Dizzy."

"Then let's go back?"

"Okay." My father left the city, and the Lin family in Xuanzhou had to rely on her and the second uncle to support them, so they didn't have the time to stand on the bank in a daze.Lin Ruyu pulled herself together and headed back to the city with her head held high.

As soon as they returned to Qingyi Lane, they knew that Shen Liangle and Shen Liangwu had arrived.

Shen Liangwu stepped forward and hugged the sister-in-law's arm in amazement, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is Sister Ruyu so beautiful?"

This little girl!Lin Ruyu raised her hand and compared, "I'm still the same, but my second brother and Xiao Wu have grown up again."

Shen Ge's seven little brothers are eating well and sleeping well now, they are just seeing their growth. Shen Liangle, who is only 13 years old, was not as tall as Lin Ruyu when he came to Xuanzhou last year. Now he has surpassed Lin Ruyu, and 11-year-old Xiao Wu I grew taller.

Shen Liangle, who is shrewd and capable outside, is a bit naive in front of his sister-in-law. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, laughing, "In three years at most, I will be as tall as my brother, so I will go out with him. "

These children regard Shen Ge as their pillar and the direction of their efforts, and they look up to Shen Ge everywhere.

Lin Ruyu asked someone to bring refreshments, and the three of them sat around the table.Only then did Shen Liangle talk about today's purpose of coming, "I have found out the news about Chen Wu and Zeng Dong in Pu County. Chen Wu didn't tell lies, he was just a horse-drawn carriage driver. The dead coachman Zeng Dong, full name Zeng Dongjie, Hezhou He was from Liyang. He also had a younger brother named Zeng Dongkuo who worked in the Liyang yamen and died at the Liyang Wharf on March [-]."

Lin Ruyu understood, "That night Zeng Dongkuo pretended to be a robber and besieged my cargo ship with poison gas at Liyang Wharf? It was true that more than 20 people died that night."

"Yes. The officials pretended to be robbers and robbed the boat, so they deserved to die." Shen Liangle continued, "Zeng Dongjie is a local ruffian from Liyang, relying on his younger brother to be in the Yamen, he is often domineering. The other coachman following Zeng Dongjie is his younger brother. Besides the two of them, there were five other people who went to Pu County together, and they were the ones who injured Qian Caiming. When Mrs. Qian took Qian Caiming to Xuanzhou, they left Pu County and returned to Liyang. After returning, the leaders The one who went to the yamen went to the yamen, and after he came out, he went to a restaurant to eat and drink. After drinking too much, he said that the county magistrate of Liyang was arrested by Cheng Yonggui of Lingchuan County. Because it is a matter in the yamen, our eyeliner can't be mixed Go in, sister Ruyu can speak to the prefect."

It is more convenient for an official to inquire about the affairs of the government, Lin Ruyu nodded, "I can inquire so much information in just a few days, the second brother is getting more and more capable."

Shen Liangle smiled foolishly, "It's just about running errands and asking questions, it's nothing if you open it up. Sister-in-law, what shall we do next?"
