Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 52

Soon, Lin Cunde went into a store. Lin Cunde didn't want to talk to the shopkeepers, which made him feel like a villain. And those shopkeepers, Lin Cunde felt that they were heinous people. However, Lin Cunde also knew that in such a situation, in fact, It doesn't have much to do with those shopkeepers. If you want to blame it, blame it on the world. There is no fairness at all.

Especially when Lin Cunde knew the price of those children, he felt even more sad and angry. Those children were worth three taels of silver, while those adult women were only worth seven taels of silver. Adult men were worth ten taels of silver, which was less than an acre of land.

A person, a living person, does not have the value of an acre of land. How sad and ironic!

Thinking about the children of the same age in future generations, they are still in school. When they return home, most of them will not help their parents. Especially the junior college students in my year. When they return home, they will either lie down and play with their mobile phones or computers. He never cares about things at home.

Think about these children in front of you, your own children at that time, how happy they are!

In the end, Lin Cunyi and Shuang'er selected a total of thirty slaves and thirty servants, including ten adults, and the others were children around ten years old. Many of them were siblings, and there were even three brothers and sisters. of.Shuang'er was kind-hearted and bought them together and did not let them separate. Therefore, those children kowtowed to Lin Cunde and Shuang'er to thank them.

The shopkeeper was even happier when he saw Lin Cunde and the others buying so many children. The children were the hardest to sell because they couldn't do anything and were very good at eating.

Lin Cunyi didn't want to buy it like this, so he came over to talk to Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde waved his hand and said, listen to Qiu Shuang, there is no shortage of food at home, and Lin Cunyi stopped talking.

Lin Cunde looked at the children who followed him and couldn't help but feel a little comforted. Maybe this was also a good deed.

Waiting for the children to arrive at the new mansion, Grandpa Yang saw it and felt heartbroken. He quickly asked Aunt Yu and the others to boil water for the children to take a bath.

After all, those children were all ragged, unkempt, and skinny.

Lin Cunde returned to the study, sitting there quietly making tea, still recovering from the sadness he saw today. In his previous life, he was a people's teacher and could not see such a child.

After a while, Shuang'er came in and knelt in front of Lin Cunde: "Master, I thank you, Master! I don't need any pocket money from now on, as long as I have something to eat, that's all!"

"Get up, you did the right thing!" Lin Cun pulled Qiu Shuang up, and Qiu Shuang burst into tears at this moment.

"Thank you, Master, for your understanding. I stayed there for half a year, and the food I ate was not as good as pig food. If the young lady hadn't followed my wife to the market, and the young lady was kind-hearted and took me away, maybe I would have died. Every winter , many children will freeze to death in the city! It is the twelfth lunar month, and when I see them, I think of myself suffering from hunger and cold in the city!" Qiu Shuang stood next to Lin Cunde and sobbed.

Lin Cunde nodded and said: "Teach them the rules well. They will grow up in a few years. Go and call the second brother over!"

"Okay!" Qiu Shuang immediately wiped her tears with a handkerchief and went out. After a while, Lin Cunyi and Qiu Shuang came in.

Lin Cunde sat there with his hand on his chin, leaning on the Taishi chair, looking very tired. Lin Cunyi couldn't help but look at Lin Cunde worriedly: "But you caught a cold?"

"No!" Lin Cunde shook his head, and then said: "Go and buy some quilts. In addition, those children must sleep on the same bunk, and install stoves in their bedrooms so as not to freeze. Also, in the future, those children will have to eat meat. Now, It’s time to grow your body. Once your body grows, you’ll be able to work in the future!”

"Ah, it's so meaty and fishy. Even my hometown wouldn't dare to eat it like this!" Lin Cunyi looked at Lin Cuunde in surprise. '

"That's it!" Lin Cunde said with eyes closed.

"That won't work, Cunde. I know you have a good heart, but you can't do this. At most, one meal a day will contain meat. If you eat like this, it won't work. Azu came over and insisted on scolding you for being a prodigal. Azu is used to being frugal. "At home, only those children can eat some meat every other day. It's good for us to have one meal a month!" Lin Cunyi still shook his head and said.

Qiu Shuang, who was next to him, also quickly said: "Master, having one meal every day is a luxury. These children still need to be taught the rules. If they don't obey the rules, they need to be sold. Don't be too nice to them at the beginning. Otherwise, they will kick your nose in the face!"

Lin Cunde didn't want to discuss this kind of thing, so he could only wave his hands and said: "You two have decided on this matter. By the way, prepare two sets of clothes for each of them, as well as clothes to keep out the cold. They are all children. Anyway, we just don't want them to be hungry." Keep it, keep it cold, if they don't obey the rules, you report it to me and then make a decision! They are not allowed to sell without permission, and they are not allowed to be whipped at will. A small punishment is fine, but don't beat them too hard!"

Lin Cunyi nodded and said: "I know, there are some vicious people in our family!"

"Go and get busy!" Lin Cunde waved his hand, but he still supported his head and leaned there.

Qiu Shuang saw Lin Cunde like this, so she came over and touched Lin Cunde's forehead.

"I'm fine, I'm just not in a good mood!" Lin Cunde shook his head and Qiu Shuang was relieved to go out.

She also needs to go outside and teach those children the rules. In such a huge mansion with so many servants, it is impossible to have no rules.

Lin Cunde was sitting there. He was hungry at noon. Lin Cunde opened the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw two maids standing at the door.The two girls saluted Lin Cunde and said, "Master!"

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde nodded and walked towards the dining room, followed by the two maids.

After arriving at the dining room, Lin Cunde had just sat down, and the food was served immediately. They were all adult maids, and they were all wearing uniforms, including long skirts with white background and blue patterns embroidered on them. Lin Cunde probably bought them from outside.While Lin Cunde was eating, two maids stood behind him.

After eating, Lin Cunde returned to the living room and saw several adult servants wiping the table, doors and windows.

When they saw Lin Cunde coming, they all knelt down. When one of the servants knelt down, he said, "Thank you, Master!"

"Well, work hard and be obedient!" Lin Cunde nodded, really not knowing what to say to them.

After returning to the study, the two maids did not dare to come in, but just waited at the door.

After a while, Qiu Shuang came in.

"Master, the rules have been set for them. Those children are very sensible and well-behaved. They are also grateful to the master!" Qiu Shuang entered the study and wiped the tea table for Lin Cunde while talking.

"Well, are all the clothes and supplies ready?" Lin Cunde nodded and asked.

"The second master went shopping. He bought quilts, cotton-padded clothes and trousers. Now he also bought ready-made coats. However, I have already told the older girls that they can do needlework. I asked them to do it for the children. Some coats, there is a lot of cloth at home, including coarse cloth. If you don’t need to throw it away, put it in the warehouse. The clothes you bought are not strong and expensive. There is no way this time. I have no preparation at home, so I can only buy them from outside. In the future, they will all be bought from outside. It's made at home!" Qiu Shuang explained to Lin Cunde, who nodded.

"Master, I have set rules for the maids and servants. They cannot enter the master's study and bedroom without the master's permission. If the master's study needs to be tidied, I can do it. Why don't we let them stay in the study now? It took too long!" Qiu Shuang continued to say to Lin Cunde.

"Well, don't leave two maids at the door, just leave one. In addition, you can put two stools next to it. It's not inappropriate to stand all the time!" Lin Cunde nodded, thinking of this, he ordered Qiu Shuang.

"Two of them must be left. The young master's study is an important place, and he needs his own people to guard the door and have stools!" Qiu Shuang explained to Lin Cunde.

"What's so important about this study! There's nothing except books!" Lin Cunde said with a smile.

"If guests come, in order to avoid eavesdropping, someone still needs to be kept outside to keep an eye on them!" Qiu Shuang explained again. Lin Cunde nodded helplessly when he heard this.

Seeing that there was nothing going on at Lin Cunde's side, Qiu Shuang went out. She needed to teach the children the rules.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and Lin Cunde heard the sound and said: "Come in!"

Immediately they were pushed away, and a maid came in, saluted Lin Cunde and said: "Master, the concierge said that someone outside who claims to be your uncle wants to see you!"

"Oh, okay!" When Lin Cunde heard this, he stood up, picked up his coat, and was about to put it on. The maid came over immediately and helped Lin Cunde tidy up. After putting it on, Lin Cunde quickly walked outside.

After passing through the verandah, bypassing the screen wall and the middle door, they came to the gate. At this moment, an adult servant and a child saw Lin Cunde, and they immediately saluted and said, "I have met the young master!"

Lin Cunde nodded slightly: "Open it!"

"Yes!" The two men immediately went to open the door. When they opened it, they found four people, including Lin Yunqi and his wife, and another couple, Lin Zhenshan and his wife.

Lin Cunde quickly stepped out of the threshold and said to the four of them: "I've met my uncle and aunt!"

"Cunde, this, this, why did you come to live here?" Lin Yunqi still didn't react at this moment,

They first went to Shitou Hutong, and it was Dajia who opened the door. Dajia knew Lin Yunqi and quickly informed him of the address of the new residence.

When the two of them got here and took a look, they found that it was Wang Zhen's mansion. They confirmed it several times and found that it seemed to be this mansion. Lin Yunqi had no choice but to knock on the door. When the concierge opened the door, Lin Yunqi didn't recognize him. Lin Yunqi could only tell himself his home address, and then asked if this was Lin Cunde's house. The concierge was very respectful and said yes, please wait a moment.

The four people stood there stupidly, unable to believe that it had been so long since they had seen each other. Lin Cunde actually changed his residence, and it was still Wang Zhen's residence.

"Uncle, it's said inside, but it won't be clear outside for a while!" Lin Cunde smiled and made an inviting gesture towards them.

"Yes, yes, it's said inside!" Lin Yunqi nodded quickly and then stepped in. After Lin Cunde entered, he also said to the two concierges: "These four people are my uncles and aunts. If they come, let them in directly. Please report again, don’t let them wait outside!”

"Yes, young master!" the two concierges immediately said with their hands raised.

The four of them still looked at Lin Cunde in surprise. After Lin Cunde finished explaining, he smiled at them, made an invitation gesture, and invited them in to talk.
