Ji Chengkang looked at Lu Lin, and said suspiciously: "How many children do you want to go to Kyoto with me?"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "It's not a child anymore."
Ji Chengkang: "..." To Ji Chengkang, a half-grown child is also a child.
Lu Lin looked at Ji Chengkang, and said: "I have prepared all their money and things for the road. Please, General, take care of them for me."
Ji Chengkang looked at Lu Lin and said, "Lord Lu, make sure this is the way. The road is high and the water is long. I don't guarantee that nothing will happen."
Lu Lin hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "I still hope they can go to the capital to see the world."
Ji Chengkang nodded and said, "If Young Master Lu has made up his mind, I can try my best to protect them."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "That's great."
Lu Lin walked into the room and saw a worried Chen Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, what's the matter?" Chen Xiaomi hesitated, and said, "Mai heard that Xiaocai can go to Kyoto with him, and he wants to go too."
Lu Lin sighed, and didn't know what to say for a while, "Mai, he should be a child."
Chen Xiaomi rubbed his forehead and said, "I think he seems quite determined this time."
Lu Lin went to find Chen Mai, who was packing his bag. There were some clothes and some biscuits in the bag.
Yuan Bao looked at Chen Mai in frustration, "Uncle, you are going to the capital too, so what should I do!"
"I will bring you delicious food in Kyoto. I heard that there are delicious food everywhere in Kyoto." Chen Maimai promised.
Lu Lin: "..." Even if there are a lot of delicacies in Kyoto, they would have been spoiled long ago.
Lu Lin looked at the oily pancakes and rubbed his forehead with a headache.
Putting the food together with the clothes is really the style of wheat. After so many years, this habit of hiding food indiscriminately can't be changed.
Yuan Bao sat on the couch, pouted and looked at Chen Xiaomai busy.
"Daddy." Yuan Bao jumped off the bed when he saw Lu Lin.
Lu Lin nodded and sent Yuan Bao out to play.
"Why did you suddenly think of going to the capital, Mai Mai?" Lu Lin asked.
"Second brother is going to Kyoto, and I also want to go to Kyoto." Chen Mai said.
"Your second brother is going to do business. If you go with him, there will be some trouble." Lu Lin said seriously.
Chen Maimai hesitated for a moment, and said, "Will it be troublesome? But, Brother Ji asked me to go together!"
Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help being a little surprised. Lu Lin originally thought that Chen Maimai wanted to go to the capital with the Ji family's team because he was playful, but he didn't expect that Ji Yun'an would still have a hand in it. It turned out that Chen Maimai Wanting to go to the capital, was Ji Yun'an, a kid, instigated him
"What did Ji Yun'an say!" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Mai blinked and said: "Brother Ji said that there are many interesting places in Kyoto, he can take me there, and there are many delicious things in Kyoto, he can take me there to eat..."
Lu Lin: "..." This damn kid really knows how to catch people's nails. This guy, Mai Mai, has no concentration when it comes to food and play.
"When did he say that?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomai tilted his head and said, "Two days ago, I told him that my second brother was going to the capital to make a fortune, and he said, I can go with my second brother."
Lu Lin: "..." In this way, Ji Yun'an was not ashamed to speak at first, because he was going to send Chen Xiaolai to the capital, so did Ji Yun'an just go with the flow? At a young age, I was full of bad water.
"Brother Lin, what are you thinking? Your face is so strange."
Lu Lin: "..."
"Do you want to go to Kyoto yourself?"
Chen Xiaomai hesitated for a moment, blushed, and nodded.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Maimai, sighed, and said helplessly, "Since you want to go, then go."
Chen Xiaomai hugged Lu Lin, and said, "Thank you Brother Lin."
Lu Lin looked at Chen Maimai, and said worriedly: "It's fine to go to the capital, but when the time comes, you must come back with your second brother!"
Chen Xiaomai nodded cheerfully, and said: "Okay, although Kyoto is a good place, but I don't like Eldest Brother, and I also don't like Brother Lin. After I play around, I'll be back."
Lu Lin: "..." I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will be too happy to think about leaving.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Maimai's happy face, but he couldn't say any words of advice for a while.
Lu Lin suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart, a bit like a father-in-law marrying a daughter.
After seeing Chen Xiaomai, Lu Lin went to see Chen Xiaocai again, and told him to take good care of Chen Xiaocai. Chen Xiaocai made a guarantee that he would take good care of Chen Xiaocai, and would never give it to those with evil intentions. Take advantage of this opportunity.
Chen Xiaocai's guarantee made Lu Lin feel awe.
Lu Lin suddenly discovered that it was not only he who thought that Ji Yunan might not be a thing, Chen Xiaocai also felt the same way! Chen Xiaocai has really grown up, the guy surnamed Ji doesn't look like a kind person.
"You said, it was Ji Yun'an who asked Mai Mai to go to the capital?" Chen Xiaomi said with a strange expression.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Not bad."
Chen Xiaomi said unhappily: "What kind of heart is this brat, Lu Lin narrowed his eyes, vaguely feeling that Ji Yun'an is not a thing."
In the Qin family's house.
"Brother, the capital is a place where rich and powerful people gather. When you get there, don't cause trouble and cause trouble for the two young masters!" Qin Lang instructed.
Qin Ming nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I know."
Qin Ming is already a big kid now, originally it was a matter of protecting Chen Xiaocai and Mai Mai, Lu Lin wanted Qin Lang to go, but Qin Lang is negotiating marriage recently, Qin Lang is not too young, Lu Lin can't delay him.
In fact, Qin Ming was very happy about going to the capital. Over the years, Qin Ming had visited many places, but most of them were relatively poor. Chen Xiaolai told him that their trip to Kyoto this time was Thinking of big business, Qin Ming couldn't help being a little excited, as if supporting Chen Xiaolai to build a successful career, a great success is just around the corner.
Qin Ming's heart is full of pride. In the past few years, Qin Lang has followed Lu Lin, and Lu Lin has directly handed over many things to Lu Lin, while Qin Ming has been following Qin Lang. Although working with his elder brother, many things are easier to deal with, but However, Qin Ming still hoped that he could be on his own.
The capital is the place where the emperor is. Qin Ming felt that even if he went to the capital, he would not get anything, and he would have something to brag about when he came back.
Lu Lin prepared horse hides and dry food for the little ones, and made-to-order clothes, pants and shoes for Chen Xiaocai.
Lu Lin sewed banknotes of small denominations into Chen Xiaocai's clothes, trousers, and shoes. Lu Lin told Chen Xiaocai that if money is tight, he can take it out and spend it, so don't be too polite.
What Lu Lin prepared for Chen Xiaocai was mainly money, and what Lu Lin prepared for Chen Xiaomai was food.
Lu Lin specially made a big package, and prepared all kinds of food that could be stored for Chen Mai.
On the day of the trip, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi went to see off Chen Xiaocai and others.
In order not to drag the team down, Lu Lin prepared two carriages for the children. Horses are much rarer than mules, and one horse cost Lu Lin fifteen taels.
When I was at home before, Chen Maimai kept telling Lu Lin that Ji Yunan said how good the capital is, how prosperous it is, and how delicious it is, but this meeting is really about to leave, but Maimai is suffering from a small The face is very reluctant.
Ji Yun'an looked at Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi, and said, "Lord Lu, brother Xiaomi, don't worry, I will take good care of Mai."
Lu Lin always felt that Ji Yunan's guarantee was a bit weird, so he forced a smile and said, "That's fine, I'll entrust the wheat to you."
Ji Yunan seemed to be encouraged, nodded solemnly, and said: "I will."
"Go." Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Lin pushed Chen Maimai, not wanting to waste time.
Chen Xiaomai waved to everyone and got into the carriage.
Looking at Chen Mai who entered the carriage, Lu Lin always felt that the current situation was a bit like sending Mai to marry him far away.
As soon as Chen Xiaocai and Chen Maimai left, the house suddenly became much deserted.
Lu Lin felt that after Xiaocai left, Shen Chi became busier. Lu Lin assigned two assistants to Shen Chi.
"My lord, my lord." Yun Niang walked in.
Lu Lin glanced at Yunniang, "What are you doing! Hurry up."
Yun Niang said with some joy: "My lord, Young Master Shen is happy.
Lu Lin: "..." This meeting actually happened. If I knew it was like this, I wouldn't drive Chen Xiaocai to the capital.
"Have you seen the doctor?" Lu Lin asked.
Yunniang nodded, and said: "I've seen it, the doctor said, everything is fine." Yunniang paused, and then said: "After seeing the doctor, Mr. Shen went to the business again."
Lu Lin: "..." Mrs. Mai is a workaholic! How could he be so embarrassing for someone who likes to sleep late? He is really ashamed.
Although Shen Chi has repeatedly assured that he is in good health and can definitely afford the work at hand, Lu Lin is still a little worried and assigns Shen Chi's work to others
At this time, Zhang Rui came to find him, which made Lu Lin very happy.
"Ari, if you come here like this, the family has no objections!" Lu Lin asked.
Zhang Rui scratched his head and said, "My mother thinks I'm eating idle food at home. If I stay at home, I won't be able to eat any more soon." Zhang Rui was joking, but Zhang Rui works for Lu Lin At that time, there were two taels of silver a month, and there were often various benefits. Once Lu Lin left, Zhang Rui didn't have much work to do, and his income also plummeted.
Although Zhang's family is a butcher, they don't always have meat to eat, which is different from Lu Lin's. From time to time, they can mix meat and vegetables, although sometimes, it's just some shredded pork.
After marrying a daughter-in-law and importing a new family member, Zhang Qin saw that it would not be a problem if things went on like this, so she sent Zhang Rui over.
Lu Lin: "..."
"Your wife is fine at home!" Lu Lin asked.
Zhang Rui nodded and said, "No problem, I'll work here for a while, and I'll take them over after I gain a firm foothold."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "That's fine too."
Zhang Rui looked at Lu Lin and said, "Brother Lin, you are really amazing. I heard that you have been rewarded by the Holy Spirit. This Dashi Village will be very beautiful." If there is a capable person in this village, the whole village can do it Followed by dipping.
Lu Lin glanced at Zhang Rui in surprise, and said, "Has the news reached Dashi Village yet?"
Zhang Rui nodded and said: "Yes! I heard from everyone that the Holy Majesty rewarded you with money. After hearing about it, the old lady of the Lu family was very excited and said she wanted to come to you."
Lu Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Is she coming?"
Lu Lin's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself: If the old lady is determined to come, it will really be a troublesome matter. Didn't see the elderly Pengci on the street, no one dared to mess with it
"It didn't work out. I heard that the Lu family had originally found a caravan to help bring the old lady here. However, the caravan thought that the old lady was too old, and she couldn't bear the responsibility when something happened on the road. So, no consent."
Lu Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it is still beneficial to go far.
Zhang Rui paused, and then said: "I heard that there are other reasons why the caravan doesn't want to go with Mrs. Lu. The caravan asks the old lady for an escort fee of eight taels of silver, and the old lady scolds her for stealing." money, and said..."
Lu Lin glanced at Zhang Rui and said, "What else are you talking about?"
He also said that she is the grandma of a high-ranking official, and asking them to deliver it was to give face to their caravan, and if she offended her, she would make the caravan's people unable to eat. "
Lu Lin: "..." This dead old woman, he has moved so far away, and that old woman is still giving him hatred. "People in the caravan, you didn't listen to her.
"Brother Lin, many people know about you and the Lu family, and the people in this caravan are also well-informed. "Lu Lin is also a celebrity in the county. Many people know about the grievances between Lu Lin and the Lu family. Therefore, as long as the people in the caravan inquire a little, they will know that the old lady and Lu Lin can't talk. There's still some grudges
Lu Lin nodded and said, "That's good."
