It's not a big deal to have words on the ring.
But the ring has to be stained with blood to show the handwriting, that's a big deal!
Lin Fufu's heart was pounding.
She lifted the ring that was stained with Xiaobei's gum blood to a place where the light was brighter, and she saw that the word was "Ruo" in Xiaozhuan script.
A word "if" can't explain anything, and it can't represent anything.
Her mother's surname is Chu, although people call her the Chu family, but in his memory, Father Lin always affectionately called his mother "Yun Niang".
Lin Fufu privately thought that his mother's Chu family name should be "Chu Yun".
But this silver ring...
Lin Fufu's heart moved, the ring was only half stained with blood, she will soak the ring with blood again and have a look again.
But the two little ones, Xiao Bei and Xiao Bao, are up now, so Lin Fufu can only put this matter aside and concentrate on raising the children.
This morning, they drank water, drank rice soup, and ate egg custard. After they were so tired from excrement and urination, the two little guys fell asleep.
It's not easy having kids.
What's more, one person takes two.
Lin Fufu let out a deep breath, tucked the quilts of the two children, and gently got off the kang holding the silver ring.
Walking to the window, Lin Fufu took out a silver needle from her medicine box, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she stabbed it at the index finger of her left hand, squeezed the blood and wiped it on the ring, after wiping the ring thoroughly, Sure enough, there was another word after the word "Ruo".
"water".
"Ruoshui?" Lin Fufu read out softly, her brows were tightly frowned, what does the word "Ruoshui" engraved on the silver ring mean
Is it the meaning of "the best kindness is like water, and it can be as round as water"
Lin Fufu was puzzled.
If mother Chu's life experience is really not simple as Huangfu Jin said, then the meaning of this sentence is very suitable for mother's mind.
Is it a portrayal of my mother living in the countryside, still calm and indifferent, paying attention to the cultivation of her own character, not panicking in the complicated world, and living a calm and quiet life
But, if it is really that simple, why did the mother put this silver ring into the palm of the eldest daughter when she came to go in person
Up to now, Lin Fufu feels that this silver ring is not just a wish left by his mother to his daughter.
It's a pity that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember what she said to the original owner before her mother left...
Checking it again, there was nothing else on the ring except the word "Ruoshui". She carefully wiped off the blood on the silver ring, and then hung the silver ring around her neck again.
Let's keep this silver ring with her for the time being.
Lin Fufu secretly made up his mind: This ring has proved that it is not easy, and the mother's identity and even death must be even more difficult. No matter what, she must find out about her mother!
The two little guys fell asleep for the second half of the day. During this period, Lin Fufu went to get some food by himself. When Xiao Bei woke up, she opened Xiao Bei's mouth and took a look. There was only a dark red line on the injured gum. Lin Fufu was relieved that the traces did not become red and swollen.
I also got some warm light salt water to wipe the child's gums. Fortunately, Beckham was very cooperative and didn't cry.
After a while, Xiao Bao also woke up. The two children were babbling and wanted to be held by Lin Fufu. Lin Fufu was in trouble when Grandma Li and Aunt Qin came back.
They also brought back one person, that is Nanny Qin.
Lin Fufu was overjoyed when he saw Mother Qin.
Seeing that the two little guys were awake, Aunt Qin drove Lin Fufu, Qin Nanny and Grandma Li out to talk, and she came to bring the children.
"Mother Qin, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to you for a long time." Lin Fufu said happily, and poured tea for Mother Qin and Grandma Li himself.
Mother Qin didn't have anything extra to say. First of all, she thanked Lin Fufu for taking care of and trusting Aunt Qin, and then asked Lin Fufu directly: "What are your plans after the new year?"
Seeing that Nanny Qin is really a person who does great things, Lin Fufu didn't talk nonsense, and replied directly: "I will take Xiaobao, Xiaobei and Aunt Qin to the county to go to the county after the Chinese New Year. I will also go with my two children." The two cousins of Bo’s family. Grandma Li didn’t want to go, so she stayed in Hulu Village to help me guard the house.”
Nanny Qin nodded, a little satisfaction flashed in her old eyes.
After a pause, he looked at Lin Fufu and said, "I've heard in the town that the restaurants, shops and inns opened by the girl in the county are very good. There are also houses in the county, right?"
"Yes." Lin Fufu nodded.
"The old man guesses that the girl wants to do something big now, and there is no one around for a while, right?" Mother Qin looked at Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu thought: Mother Qin's eyes are really vicious, this Grandma Li never thought of it. "
"If the girl doesn't dislike it, how about I be an old housekeeper for the girl?" Mother Qin still looked at Lin Fufu calmly.
Of course, Lin Fufu couldn't wish more. Hearing this, Liu Mei raised his eyebrows happily, nodded again and again, and smiled affectionately while holding Nanny Qin's arm: "Of course that's good! I've been looking forward to it for a long time when I learned that Nanny will come to my place." caught."
"This child." Seeing Lin Fufu's rare appearance as a little girl, Mother Qin looked at Grandma Li and said, "You always say that this child is mature and prudent, I think it's better this way."
Grandma Li just laughed.
Picking up the teacup, she gracefully floated off the foam from the tea leaves, took a small sip, and said with a smile: "Isn't this old guy like you here to help her? With someone supporting her, who wants to be so mature and prudent at such a young age?" Woolen cloth?"
Lin Fufu noticed that since Nanny Qin came, Grandma Li seemed to be a different person.
She is no longer like the little old lady in the mountain village, but rather like the powerful female steward from a rich family.
And her previous elegant demeanor was deeply restrained.
Not to mention Nanny Qin, her original demeanor showed her sharpness.
"Well, since you and I are going out of the mountain again, you don't have to hide it anymore. Since you plan to stay in Calabash Village, you can't be idle. Doesn't the girl have a Zhuangzi? There are also shops and workshops in the town. You know all about them. Then, as for the property of the girls in the county, I will help take care of it." Mother Qin simply divided up the work with Grandma Li.
Lin Fufu was stunned.
She doesn't mind Nanny Qin's directness, or presumptuousness. What surprised her was that Grandma Li actually had such a powerful reason. According to Nanny Qin, Grandma Li is also a great business talent!
"Okay, it's all up to you. As long as you are willing to move and help the girl, I can do whatever you ask me to do?" Grandma Li smiled and looked at Mother Qin.
Nanny Qin nodded, looked at Grandma Li and said, "Aren't you lazy this time?"
"Stop being lazy." Grandma Li continued to laugh.
Seeing that Lin Fufu was curious, Nanny Qin smiled and explained to her: "Girl, you really found a treasure. In fact, your Grandma Li used to be in charge of the dowry business of the head grandma when she was serving in a big family. This is a good manager of the property, and it is the best thing for you to hand over the property in the town to her."
Lin Fufu's heart moved, but he didn't show it on his face. At this moment, Nanny Qin and Grandma Li were not ready to tell her about their past, so she didn't express curiosity.
Seeing that she didn't ask anything, but just looked happy, Nanny Qin and Grandma Li looked at each other, feeling even more satisfied.
"Girl, then our mothers will be entrusted to the girl in the future!" Mother Qin said to Lin Fufu very solemnly at the end.
Lin Fufu also very solemnly agreed.
Grandma Li took a look at Qin Nanny, "I said you old woman, you don't need to tell the girl this, just look at how she treats me and your niece and daughter these days."
Nanny Qin also knew that her niece had also told her about it half a minute ago today, but she still smiled and said, "I am officially entrusting myself and my niece to the girl."
Lin Fufu felt that this was very good, and he was not at all disgusted with Qin Nanny's prudence, but was very happy.
This kind of prudence means that after thinking and thinking, after many considerations, she finally chooses to follow her, Lin Fufu.
Therefore, Lin Fufu still feels a little proud.
Nanny Qin has a vigorous personality. After talking to Lin Fufu a few words, she got a general idea of her situation in the county, and she helped Lin Fufu plan.
Lin Fufu said a few words to Nanny Qin and understood that Nanny Qin was not only a good hand in governing the government, but also proficient in business matters.
Although I didn't say it, I was actually more curious in my heart.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Fufu, Lin Fen and Lin Fang went to the town in a carriage.
Lin Fen and Lin Fang went to help her make jasmine powder, while Lin Fufu went to Lady Qin's powder shop.
Mrs. Qin lived alone, and she didn't go back to her mother's house on the festive day like Chinese New Year.
When Lin Fufu went to her makeup shop, it was lunch time, and Mrs. Qin just happened to prepare the meals in the back hall and put them on the table.
When Lin Fufu knocked on the door, Mrs. Qin was holding a jug of warm rice wine in her hand. She heard the knock on the door and didn't even have time to put the jug down, so she hurried to open the door.
Seeing Lin Fufu holding two white porcelain vases in her hands, Mrs. Qin was very happy and let her in.
"Happy New Year, Mrs. Qin." Lin Fufu put two white porcelain vases on the counter, and talked to Mrs. Qin with a smile, "I'm here to wish you a happy new year."
"You are the first person to give me New Year's greetings this year. Come in quickly." Mrs. Qin happily took Lin Fufu to the back hall, and said to her: "I just finished cooking and warming up the wine, so you come That's right. Let's drink some rice wine to warm our bodies."
Lin Fufu nodded with a smile. The rice wine was light and warm, so it was not bad to drink.
"Gospel, I heard that you are doing very well in every business in the county. I'm happy for you. Come and drink." Mrs. Qin was already a little drunk, and she dragged Lin Fuspel to drink.
Seeing that she was drinking heavily, Lin Fufu knew that she had something on her mind, so he didn't stop her. He picked up the wine cup and touched her, then put it on his lips and took a sip, then looked up at Lady Qin and said: "The business in the county is indeed much easier to do than in the town. There are more people, and there are more rich people. As long as there are good ideas, the business will be better."
"When the Chinese New Year opens, my elder brother will take care of my shop, and I will go to the county with you." Lady Qin blushed, and looked at Lin Fufu's face drunkenly.
Lin Fufu smiled, "That's better, anyway, you bought a shop and a house in the county, and went to the county to sell jasmine powder."
She wasn't joking, she really wanted Mrs. Qin to only sell her mossy powder in the county.
I used to think that as long as Mrs. Qin brought her jasmine powder and sold it, but after staying in the county for a few days, and listening to the chatter of Chang Ning's local snakes, she knew that she wanted to be in the county soon. To gain a foothold, you must be a little fresh in doing business.
And in the county town, I just took a casual look, and there are no two or three rouge and gouache shops on any street
There must be a group of regular customers in these rouge and gouache shops that opened early. Lady Qin wanted to gain a foothold. Unless she made a fuss about the price and lowered the price, she might not be able to stand up for selling ordinary rouge and gouache.
"Gospel, you used to say that you have to do all kinds of rouge and eyebrows, but you should do it quickly!" Mrs. Qin urged, drank another cup of rice wine, hiccupped, looked at Lin Fufu and said: "I Think about it, when I get to the county, I will only sell the good things you made. I really don’t like those ordinary and inferior rouge powders. To be honest, I really don’t like them. Look at me, now I use Your jasmine powder is gone, and you can't look at other fans anymore."
Lin Fufu leaned over to take a look, and it was the jasmine powder she made on Mrs. Qin's face. No wonder she felt that Mrs. Qin was much whiter and tenderer.
"Do you think I'm much younger?" Mrs. Qin asked with a smile when she saw that Lin Fufu was watching seriously.
Lin Fufu nodded honestly, "It does look much better than before, it looks younger."
"Really? I think so too." Mrs. Qin chuckled, then reached out to grab Lin Fufu's hand, "I figured it out, the things you made are not bad."
Lin Fufu smiled. She knew that Mrs. Qin was about to get drunk, so she persuaded her a few words, but Mrs. Qin wanted to continue drinking, "Let me tell you, I can't stay in this town any longer. I'm making a lot of money now. The brothers from my natal family are all under the wind blowing on the pillows of their respective mother-in-law, wanting to let my adoptive nephew from my natal family fall to my knees... "
Lin Fufu frowned.
"Gospel, why do you think people are like this, with only silver in their eyes?" Mrs. Qin finally cried.
Lin Fufu pursed his lips and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say, so he reached out and patted Lady Qin on the shoulder.
Lady Qin was really drunk and fell asleep lying on the table.
Lin Fufu sighed, picked up the handkerchief worn by Mrs. Qin and wiped away her tears, then got up and helped her back to her bed.
After covering the quilt, Lin Fufu went out, and spent ten big money to find a young daughter-in-law who was about the same age as Mrs. Qin from a family on the left side of the shop, and asked her to guard Mrs. Qin.
Lin Fufu went to the Li Family Medical Clinic by himself.
Dr. Li and Mrs. Li have actually gone back to the Li family's ancestral house for the New Year. It is impossible to come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but there are still doctors sitting in the Li family medical clinic.
Lin Fufu went to pay New Year's greetings, but when the old man sitting in the hall saw Lin Fufu, he patted himself on the head and said, "Miss Lin, you can count yourself here. When Mr. Li left, I told the old man to see you." When it comes to you, I will give you the medicinal materials you asked for!"
The herbs that Lin Fufu wants are for cosmeceuticals.
Hearing this, she was also very happy, she didn't expect Li Yi to move so fast.
She thought she would have to wait until after the Lantern Festival to get this batch of high-quality medicinal materials.
"Old doctor, where are the medicinal materials? How many are there? I can find someone to tell them." Lin Fufu asked with a smile.
"Oh, in the warehouse, all kinds of ingredients add up to more than three thousand catties. You need to find three large wagons to load them. When these medicinal materials were transported, they were brought in three large wagons. "The old doctor reminded Lin Gospel.
"It's more than three thousand catties?" Lin Fufu asked in surprise. She didn't expect it to be so much. From what Li Yi said at the time, a few hundred catties at most would be considered good.
Seeing her surprise, the old doctor also smiled and said: "Isn't it more than three thousand catties? At that time, more than a dozen people were found to move it for a long time. Miss Lin was also lucky, and the old lady of the Li family just received a batch of good ones." Astragalus root and Codonopsis pilosula, this is already half-divided for you."
Lin Fufu did not expect that this was the work of the old man of the Li family, no wonder.
"Then I have the opportunity to thank Mrs. Li properly." Lin Fufu said with a smile.
The old doctor also laughed.
He has been sitting here since the opening of the Li Family Medical Center. Even the old man of the Li family can be regarded as his own. In addition, he has no children and no relatives. He said that he was asked to help make up ideas, so the old doctor knew that Lin Fufu went to the county to rescue the Li family's little aunt and son in a very dangerous way.
With this life-saving grace, what does the old master buy her a batch of good medicinal materials? Even if half of the old man's warehouse is removed and given to Miss Lin, the old man will not blink his eyes.
"It's Chinese New Year, where can you little girl find someone to help you move it? Or I'll find someone to find a carriage." The old doctor said kindly.
"Oh, I'm so stupid. I'm going to transport these medicinal materials to the county. I'm not busy now. When I arrive in the county on the fifth day of the lunar new year, I'll take them with me." Lin Fufu slapped his forehead and looked at While talking to people, I forgot that this medicinal material was not used in the town.
Hearing what she said, the old doctor also laughed.
Lin Fufu left the Li Family Medical Center and went to Liu Ji Restaurant.
After all, Lao Liu is an elder, and Lao Liu has helped her a lot after all, so it is not an exaggeration for her to take the initiative to pay him a New Year's greeting.
Old Liu Chuer accompanied his wife and children to his father-in-law's house and drank too much, so he happened to rest at home today.
Hearing that Lin Fufu came to pay New Year's greetings, he hurriedly brought his wife out to greet him.
Lao Liu's wife is also Liu Qin's old lady. She is of medium height, fair and clean, and a little fatter. Wearing a new dark blue air silk jacket and skirt, she looks particularly blessed and amiable.
After Lin Fufu said hello, Mrs. Liu led her into her seat, and asked her mother, who was in charge of her body, to call the two young ladies out.
Old Liu hurried to the back hall.
"Qin'er went to visit his cronies and he's not at home. Otherwise, I'd have to ask him to come out and thank Gospel girl." Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Fufu, and she liked it more and more. She reached out and rubbed the back of her tender hand, I don't like it in my heart.
Her son is not young anymore, although the master always said that Gospel is not something ordinary people can afford, but she doesn't think so!
