When Father Lin and the others came, they didn't have any belongings on their bodies. They were either lost or exchanged for food when they passed through the villages and towns. The only thing left was Yang's dowry jewelry - all of which were brought by Yang's body. Yes, and more are lost.
There were so many of them that they had to hide from the refugees and bandits, and they couldn't bring anything with them. It was Father Lin who gritted his teeth and threw them away. Life was more important than money.
Siniang went to the kitchen to make gnocchi, this thing is simple, add some water to the white noodles, pour a little bit of water into the boiling water, put some sauce and vinegar in the bowl, then pour some sesame oil, put the gnocchi in, and then add a spoonful of white noodles For the soup, Siniang also boiled some vegetable leaves, which is also considered a fragrant rice.
Father Lin had never eaten these before, and thought it was not fine, but now when he sees the white noodles, his mouth can't help saliva.
Lin Yuan didn't talk to him at this time either, for fear that he would bite his tongue when he devoured it.
Yang Shi ate slowly. She was hungry on the road. Even if she saw food, she couldn't arouse much appetite.
The little girl's name is Guo'er. She was born in autumn, and just after the tree bears fruit, she took this nickname, which means a lot.
Except for the three of them, the servants all ate in the courtyard. They didn't eat glutinous rice. They ate buns with mixed noodles, but they were big enough to be full. There was also porridge. Porridge can nourish people.
"It can be considered alive." The servants felt that they had come out of the gate of hell and relaxed a lot. After eating two big steamed buns, they finally smiled and chatted with the people next to them.
"I thought I was going to die on the road." The person who answered the question was deeply moved, "I've never seen so many dead people before."
"It's still the master." The servant said, "I thought of today. Fortunately, the young master came over, otherwise... we would have to guard outside Wucheng."
"A lot of people will definitely freeze to death this winter."
"I just went to the room to see that it was covered with straw mats and quilts," the servant said excitedly.
When they were in the Lin family, they were treated like this, and they thought that the conditions would get worse after they defected to the young master.
Father Lin was also complaining to Lin Yuan at this time. He exaggerated the hardships into twelve points. It was already quite miserable. After he reworked it, it became even worse. The death of the two daughters was still caused by Father Lin. It's a small blow, he has four children in total, and nowadays he pays attention to having more sons and more happiness. Father Lin has always kept his three daughters in his hands, but this time, only two of them are gone. Only he knows how painful it is.
The two ends came in with hot water, and Father Lin called him over.
"Where's the iron egg?" Father Lin asked the coachman.
Erliang sniffed and answered honestly: "On the way here, we met refugees and robbed the carriage and things. Brother Chen asked us to run first. After he broke, we never saw him again."
Father Lin was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, he sighed.
"Then where did you get the money to buy the property?" Father Lin asked suddenly.
Lin Yuan replied, "Mother put two hundred taels in the insole for me."
Mr. Yang took a sip of the soup and looked indifferent: "Be prepared."
Father Lin took a white-flour steamed bun to eat from the table, and there was kimchi next to it. Now the kimchi is simple to make. Soak some cowpeas and radishes in salt water, which is very suitable for dinner.
Yang's lost a lot of weight. Originally, Yang was not as rich as Lin's father. Once she lost weight, her whole body became skin and bones. Her neck looked unusually slender, which made people worry that her neck would not be able to carry the weight of her head. The next moment will be crushed.
Lin Yuan recalled the time when the original owner got along with the Yang family, and said to the Yang family, "Mother, take a good rest, there is nothing else for me."
As soon as she said this, Yang's eyes became wet. She closed her eyes quickly and said softly, "Yuan'er, set up a tablet for your eldest sister and second sister, so that they can also eat incense during the festival."
Father Lin: "That's not good, they are all young, they are considered premature deaths, they can't erect monuments, and they can't have tablets."
Mr. Yang sat there without speaking.
The two couples will never be together for a lifetime.
Father Lin was a rough, landowner, so he didn't dislike Yang's old age, so he wanted to marry a girl from a scholarly family.
However, after entering the house, Father Lin found that he did not understand what Yang said.
And Yang found out that she had married someone who couldn't even speak.
When they first got married, Yan'er was newly married, but there was still some tenderness and sweetness.
When the enthusiasm of the newlyweds has passed, only to realize that the other party is not a good person.
But what can a good man do? We still have to get together to live together, and Mrs. Yang doesn't want to be in the same room with Father Lin anymore. She turns a blind eye to the matter between Father Lin and the girl. The girls have children. Although she will carry them into her own yard, It does not prevent the mother from seeing the child.
These days, although according to the law, the master cannot kill the next person, it is very simple to sell it. With just one sentence, it can be sold far away, and it will never come back for a lifetime.
Yang was a kind-hearted mistress, otherwise she wouldn't be so kind to Lin Yuan.
All three girls have biological mothers, only Lin Yuan's biological mother died at the birth threshold. It can be said that Lin Yuan and Yang's family, although not related by blood, really have a mother-son relationship.
Lin Yuan agreed immediately: "Okay, set up a tablet."
Only then did Yang Shi nodded: "I'm tired."
Erliang hurriedly stepped forward: "Madam, the girls are still cleaning up, the little one is waiting for you to wash."
Twenty-two years are still young, so it makes sense for him to serve.
Yang shi nodded and walked inside.
Father Lin saw that Mr. Yang was gone, and then whispered, "Dad also brought some silver, which is enough money."
Lin Yuan: "Where are you... hiding?"
Father Lin: "I asked the girl to sew a bag for the hidden clothes. Before I left, I had a lot of clothes. Now there are only three hundred taels left."
"It's all for you." Father Lin took out the money from the underwear and put it on the table. It was written all over the money, but it was a lot of money.
Lin Yuan said, "Father, keep it yourself."
But Father Lin shook his head and said, "I just arrived, and I have nowhere to spend with my money. You can use this money to buy more grain, just buy old grain. It's cheap and won't kill anyone."
Lin Yuan did not refuse: "Yes."
He didn't want to be a black-hearted master, but when there was a shortage of food, a large amount of old grain would definitely be more useful than a small amount of new grain. Between survival and taste, no one would choose the taste.
Although the yield of early rice this year is good, it is also compared with other farmland. If it is compared with modern rice, it will definitely be slag, but there are too few crops with large yields. Lin Yuan also specifically asked Yang Zian, Yang Zi'an said that soybeans are easy to grow and harvest.
So Lin Yuan asked them to open up all the wasteland around and plant soybeans.
Anyway, no one will come to check on Wucheng.
Lin Yuan thought to himself, if the first shot of the rebellion hits and his food is not enough, then the game is basically over.
