Need for money

It turned out that Tang Yuxiang was worried about Lin Jingzhi's health and didn't want to play around with him, so she simply went out and found Aunt Rou to take care of her. , but I have never seen Lin Jingzhi before, because Lin Jingzhi caught cold on the day she entered the house, so naturally he did not enter the bridal chamber.

Later, Lin Jingzhi's health became worse and worse, and he had to do business again, so he didn't have time to meet her.

As for Lin Jingzhi, when he was selecting a concubine's room among a group of women, he glanced at her from a distance. At that time, Lin Jingzhi was hiding behind a rockery. Only then did he choose her among twenty or thirty young girls, but because he only glanced at Aunt Rou from a distance at that time, it's normal for Lin Jingzhi not to recognize her now.

Aunt Rou?

That means this girl is also his own woman?

Thinking of this, he looked the woman in front of him up and down again, but Aunt Rou was extremely nervous, and felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She had heard that Lin Jingzhi had been studying since he was a child. Emphasis on etiquette and education, her temper is quite old-fashioned, so she didn't dare to dress up carefully before she came, for fear that Lin Jingzhi would not like it. At this time, she was dressed in a simple and graceful way, very dignified and decent, but even so, she is also very worried about her family now. The husband will pick out the wrong one.

"Rou'er, sit down too." Seeing the nervousness on the girl's face in front of him, Lin Jingzhi smiled warmly.

But even though he had good intentions, he gave Aunt Rou a big jump, she knelt down on the ground again with a plop, and kowtowed: "My servant and concubine come from a lowly family background, so I dare not sit in the same room with the second master."

In fact, concubines can only be regarded as half slaves and half masters. Many nobles even have the habit of exchanging concubines, so they are not qualified to sit in front of their princesses.

"Get up quickly, come here and let me have a look!" Lin Jingzhi heard Aunt Rou's knocking so hard that there was a bang bang sound. Kowtow, before Aunt Rou entered the mansion, someone taught her to obey her master's orders in the future, and not to overdo it, so Aunt Rou stood up very obediently, and then walked in front of Lin Jingzhi.

Seeing that the girl's forehead had a bruise, Lin Jingzhi felt sorry for it, and while reaching out his big hand to gently wipe off the dust on the girl's forehead, he blamed, "Look at you, what are you doing with so much effort? Green."

Aunt Rou stood meekly in front of Lin Jingzhi, allowing him to wipe it carefully, her little face was blushing with shame, it was really cute, after a while she secretly raised her head and glanced at Lin Jingzhi, seeing that he just looked distressed , was not angry, so he put his little heart down, and muttered to himself, "If I had known that my husband has a gentle temper and would love others, I would not be so hard-working." '

It turned out that she had heard Lin Jingzhi tell her to sit down just now, thinking that he was testing her to see if she understood the rules, so she was frightened and kowtowed harder.

At this moment, someone suddenly opened the door of the room. It turned out that Tang Yuxiang was worried about Lin Jingzhi's body, fearing that he would make some mistakes, so he came back again. A few days ago, Mrs. Lin personally ordered She took care of Lin Jingzhi, if something went wrong, she would have to walk around.

But as soon as she entered the room, she saw the scene of Lin Jingzhi wiping Aunt Rou's forehead. She blushed, then turned around and ran out. She mistakenly thought that the two were in love, and ran away , she spat and scolded: "What a pervert, I've only been awake for two days, and I can't bear the loneliness."

At the same time, she became more determined to leave Lin Fu.

Aunt Rou didn't expect that Tang Yuxiang would run in suddenly without anyone passing on a message, and before she had time to salute, she saw him run out again. Although she was a bit dull, she also knew that the mistress misunderstood what the two of them did just now, and couldn't help but My heart tightened. In the Lin Mansion, Tang Yuxiang, the housewife, was her immediate boss. If she was upset, I'm afraid she would suffer a lot in the future.

"Don't be afraid, although Yu Xiang doesn't like to laugh, she is still a good person." Seeing Aunt Rou's frightened look, Lin Jingzhi hurriedly comforted her, and then said: "Go find some strong ones first." The rough envoy woman carried me to the outer courtyard, and then went to the gate to see if the carpenter I was looking for has come."

Aunt Rou didn't dare to agree to carry him out at first, but seeing his persistence and showing signs of getting angry, she resigned to her fate and found four rough envoys, and then carried him up with a chair. Arriving at a wing room in the outer courtyard, although Aunt Rou was timid, she was still an underage girl. While she was frightened and frightened, she did not forget to criticize Tang Yuxiang for finding someone to serve her second master. Well, if Mrs. Lin finds out about this, she must be skinned.

At this moment, the sun had just risen to a height of a bamboo pole, and it was still cold. Lin Jingzhi also knew that his body could not withstand the toss, so he asked Aunt Rou to wrap him in a thick quilt. After about half an hour Finally, a servant finally brought two carpenters. These two carpenters are father and son. The old one is named Liu Zheng, and the young one is named Liu Hai. They both wore coarse clothes and carried tools on their backs. The servant also bowed his head and knelt down behind him.

"Second Lord, one of these two people is called Liu Zheng and the other is Liu Hai. They are well-known for their woodworking skills. Many high-ranking officials and nobles have invited them to do some exquisite carpentry work." The servant knelt on the ground and introduced.

Lin Jingzhi nodded and signaled the servant to step back, before carefully looking at the two carpenters in front of him. Liu Zheng was about 40 years old, with a strong body and a simple and honest face. To be honest, Liu Hai is a bit thinner, probably not yet twenty, because of working in the sun for many years, his skin is tanned and rosy.

Just when Lin Jingzhi was about to explain the purpose of inviting them to come here, the young Liu Hai couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, he secretly raised his head and looked at him, then his eyes turned to one side, and after a daze, dark There was a blush on his face.

"Cough" Lin Jingzhi knew that Liu Hai must have seen Aunt Rou, and that's why he was so cheeky. Of course, he didn't care about this, but he laughed in his heart that this Liu Hai was so innocent. Ashamed, in order not to embarrass the boy in front of him, he quickly said: "What I want to build is very simple, as long as a carpenter who can make a chair can make it, but after it is finished, it needs to be carved with some delicate patterns. You have to test your skills."

Liu Zheng and his son were still dissatisfied when they heard the first half of the sentence. They felt that it was a bit of a waste of talent to take on this job. They might not earn much money today, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, they were all happy and nodded happily. The most difficult part of a carpenter's job is to carve patterns. If the subordinates have no real skills, ordinary carpenters really dare not do it.

Otherwise, if the engraving is wasteful, not only will you not be able to earn money, but you will have to pay for it.

"Rou'er, bring a pen and paper." Lin Jingzhi didn't draw the picture in advance just now, because he was afraid that the two of them might not understand it, so he planned to explain while drawing. There is a study not far from this wing room, so Aunt Rou It took only a little effort to bring in the paper, pen and ink. After Lin Jingzhi received it, Aunt Rou was grinding the ink, and he began to draw. Although the brush was not easy to use, it was also difficult. Not to mention him, for a while in his previous life he liked to draw cartoon characters in anime, so he had some basic skills in painting.

The Lin family is a rich and noble family, and they are particular about everything. Not enough quality is not enough, so Lin Jingzhi deliberately made the design of the reclining chair a little more complicated, so that it can match his status, and he will plan to use it day and night in the future. I slept on it, so I doubled the size of the recliner, which is more than two meters long.

Liu Zheng and his son listened quietly to the explanation, and the more they listened, their frowns became tighter. It seemed that this job was really quite difficult.

"Okay, that's all for the frame structure. After it's built, we can carve some beautiful patterns on the outside." Lin Jingzhi felt a little thirsty after speaking, so Aunt Rou hurriedly brought a cup of tea and handed it to him. hands.

Lin Jingzhi nodded to Aunt Rou first, and then took a sip of tea. Just when he wanted to add something, there was a sound of notification outside the door, and then a young boy in Tsing Yi who was about twelve or thirteen years old The servant ran in, and then, ignoring everyone's eyes, hugged Lin Jingzhi's legs, choked up and said, "Second Master, you are so blessed that you finally woke up. Do you know that you have come to serve me these three days? Mo can't eat well or sleep well, I'm worried to death."

Lin Jingzhi was stunned at first, and then felt his nose sore. This servant Mo was the late Lin Jingzhi's personal servant, and he was extremely loyal to him. Although he is not yet 14 years old this year, he has served Lin Jingzhi for six years. Yu Yu gently stroked Shi Mo's head, and he said, "Don't cry, get up quickly."

Shi Mo responded with a sob, and cried again: "I wanted to go in to see you the day before yesterday, but I ran into the third master unexpectedly at the door, and he didn't agree with anything."

Third master?

Lin Jingzhi's concubine younger brother, Lin Lizhi?

The image of a swinger flashed across Lin Jingzhi's mind, and then he comforted him a few more words, and said, "Don't cry, or I'll tell Tweety to see if she will marry you in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Mo's face instantly flushed red, and he said anxiously: "Second Master, you will make fun of the servant."

Xiao Cui and Shi Mo have a baby kiss. She is 13 years old this year and has a strong temper. She looks down on boys who like to cry. That's why Lin Jingzhi joked about it.

Fortunately, although Lin Jingzhi used to have an old-fashioned temperament, he only liked to joke around with this valet, so Shi Mo didn't realize that Lin Jingzhi in front of him had changed another person's soul, "Second Master, today I don't only come to see you Besides, I have something to report to you."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Lin Jingzhi asked with a smile.

Shi Mo first looked at the people in the room, and then put his mouth next to Lin Jingzhi's ear and whispered a few words. From Shi Mo's point of view, this matter is not big or small, but he didn't think Lin Jingzhi would listen to it. Afterwards, his complexion changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Is this really the case?"
