Chapter 074 Wind and Rain
In happy days, time always passes quickly. After the incident that night at Fanlou, the order in the entire Bianjing city has become stricter, and unnecessary human interactions have been reduced. Yang Lin has become accustomed to working in the small workshop every day In addition to experiments, they would occasionally bring out some delicacies from later generations to spice up their lives, so that every time it was time for meals, the Silver Nursing Home and the others would stop what they were doing on time no matter how busy they were, even Shen You Rong Hui also took a break from the city to come over, euphemistically calling it an inspection, and then immersed himself in gluttony with everyone...
After the cold dew in September, the weather gradually cooled down, and the occasional rain made the city become foggy. Just like the future that is so confused that it is difficult to see the situation clearly, time seems to have slowed down and everyone is waiting. No matter what, whether it was the turbulent court or the turbulent Shen family, it was rare to find peace at this moment.
Early in the morning, they put on light clothes, held up a black oil-paper umbrella, and took the little girl with them like a follower. Yang Lin and his servant returned to the city like this. Because of the rain, Xiaoyun's temples were slightly wet. , while reaching out and stroking it, he looked up at the man beside him and asked: "Uncle, do you think there will be a war in the future?"
"Um."
"I have also heard that the situation in the north has become tense. There are many refugees fleeing from there outside the city. Many of them have starved to death on the road. Now some businesses at home and in the north are also cut off. The lady also said that in the future, The days are going to get harder and harder.”
"Um."
"Uncle, if there really is a fight one day, you should take the young lady and leave first."
"how about you?"
"Yun'er has practiced some leg and foot skills with Yinhuyuan. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with one or two Jin people..."
"Is it implied that your uncle is a weak scholar with no strength?" Yang Lin rewarded the little girl with a chestnut, "Don't forget that I single-handedly defeated Li Tianrun."
"My uncle is cheating, it's obviously a musket..."
"You also know that it is a musket. Gunpowder has been around for a long time these days. If someone over there develops something similar to this, let alone your three-legged cat skills, even if the Yinhuyuan comes here in person, you may not be able to get it. At the end of the day, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of the kitchen knife. When the time comes, whether you destroy your family to save people or run away, the prerequisite is to save your own life. It may be selfish to say this, but you have to remember one thing, they It is said that businessmen are only interested in profit, so we should not engage in loss-making business. After all, life is the greatest capital of a person. Do you understand this?"
"Yun'er understands. Yun'er thought that my uncle..."
"Think I will be passionate about defending the country?" Yang Lin shook his head, "It's okay to protect the family. After all, there is no point in just eating soft food and not doing anything, but even if you defend the country, in fact, for the people, who else can I do? It’s the same as being an emperor. Promoting the people will be painful, and destroying the people will be painful. This is already a problem of the system.”
"My uncle started to say something incomprehensible again..."
Sometimes, Xiaoyun feels that her uncle is obviously very close to her, but yet he feels far away. This feeling is very strange.
Contradiction, just like she initially thought that Yang Lin would have his loyalty to the country engraved in his heart like other scholars. After all, in this era when Yue Fei was born, there has always been no shortage of people who can sing and cry. But for Yang Lin, before knowing the ending Understood, if you are so stubborn that you have to fight against the general trend of the world, it is not a lack of moral character, but a problem with your IQ...
The Qian Dynasty was similar to the Song Dynasty. The status of warriors was once weakened to the extreme. The outdated and decadent system created the current situation of the army being poor and weak. It is nothing but a fool's dream to expect that such a group of people can resist the wolves and tigers of the Liao and Jin armies. , Fortunately, there is still some time before the war actually breaks out, enough for him to make some necessary preparations.
Probably the refugees who fell here in the streets reminded Xiaoyun of a sad past, so the little girl was a little silent along the way. Yang Lin didn't know how to comfort her. Some things had not happened to him, so he couldn't empathize with her. , Of course, the emotions of a girl of this age come and go quickly. After arriving at Boss Chu’s shop and Yang Lin personally cooked a bowl of hot fried noodles for her, all the unhappiness disappeared. Already.
Returning to Bianjing City after half a month, I found that Boss Chu had gained weight again. His face was so red that he thought he had a new member in his family. Only he knew how much hard work he had done to wait for this day to come. The calm young man across from me seemed to be easy to get along with, but in fact he had an aura and demeanor that made people feel distant. Through these interactions, I discovered that he was indeed not a simple son-in-law. His temperament, rules for doing things, and the aura of a superior person that he inadvertently revealed made Fatty Chu feel like he was facing an official.
Of course, for Yang Lin, he actually did not show anything different from usual. The poverty alleviation and construction work in the past ten years has unknowingly left a deep imprint on him. This is not to say that it can be deliberately hidden, nor can it be hidden. There is no need. Only when you have a strong enough foundation can you do something better. There is no need to think about these proven principles. Now, what you are thinking about is more about how to break the deadlock in front of you.
So it wasn't just a matter of time before he came to see Boss Chu this time. A business contract was quietly placed on the table...
In early October, a restaurant called 'Shi Ke Zhai' quietly opened on Yu Street. The owner of the store is said to be the old owner of the noodle shop in Luliu Lane. It was not very lively when it opened. Some diners I knew came to support it, which seemed a bit inconspicuous for Yujie, which has countless shops. As one of the shareholders, Yang Lin didn't even attend the opening ceremony. He just handed over the original employee handbook of Rongji. Gave it to Boss Chu...
The weather became cooler and cooler, and then a sudden heavy rain fell. The entire Bianjing was shrouded in dark clouds. The strong wind swept up the yellow leaves in the courtyard, and blew the half-broken lantern in the distance into the sky.
The atmosphere became a little depressing.
At Xiaoyun's strong request, Yang Lin temporarily stayed in the city these days. The small workshop was looked after by Yin Huyuan and his disciples, so there was nothing to worry about. The only thing that might need attention was , the heavy rains for several consecutive days have turned into flash floods. Fortunately, Bianjing Prefecture
We have made adequate preparations here in advance, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
When he was idle at home, Yang Lin found a carpenter to carve out the mahjong for later generations. When three were missing and one was missing, the little Que'er who often came to visit was pulled onto the gaming table. Shen Yourong, who was killing everyone in the mall, was there. There was a rare feeling of frustration in the card game. Even Xiaoyun, who had always restrained herself, had a rare chance to play around with them tonight. As a result, the three of them lost to Xiao Queer, a novice.
When the night got dark, Xiao Que'er left without saying goodbye. Looking at the little girl's leaving figure, before Yang Lin could say anything, Shen Yourong had already whispered: "Quer's mother passed away long ago. , after the fourth room took in a concubine, a male was added. Naturally, Que'er was left out. It would be fine if he was insecure. He could always get some benefits by crying and making trouble. However, this child has been weak-tempered since he was a child. , even if she was bullied, she would not complain. She has not had an easy life these years..."
Normally, the young lady of the Shen family would have people waiting on her, but Que'er had to take care of herself since she was a child, and her clothes were all sewn and patched, so she really didn't look like a lady. And because of the relationship between the second and fourth bedrooms, Shen had Rong was not familiar with this little girl. Later, when he heard about what happened there, he took the initiative to contact Xiaoque'er. He occasionally called her over to visit, and often gave her some embroidered needlework and other items that he sewed. As soon as we came and went, we became intimate.
Compared with the intrigues in the big family, the fights between the Shen family's houses can only be regarded as small fights. If it weren't for the young people of the Shen family's generation, there is really no one worthy of reuse, and they won't get their turn. Shen Yourong is a girl who comes out to show off. Sometimes you can hear it from Shen Yourong's words. In fact, she has always been hesitant and evasive deep in her heart. But when things have developed to this point, it is no longer a question of whether she is willing or not. Well, the old man is old, and there is not much time left for the Shen family. Taking a step back, the current situation may not have been created by the old man.
Yang Lin was not interested in this. The old man chatted with him for a long time that night, and his attitude was very kind. There may have been some kindness between the Shen and Yang families many years ago, but he also understood that after such a long time, no matter how great the kindness was, When they were exhausted, the Shen family initially recruited him as their son-in-law because he was a nerd, but something happened later that made him change his mind, so that night's conversation took place. Whether it is a test or a warning, it actually does not have much impact on Yang Lin. He is not dissatisfied with his current life, but feels that the current life is the most ideal state.
Being able to get together every day, chat and study new recipes, have a beautiful wife and a cute and cute maid, and don't have to run around and work hard for some external things, and don't have to deliberately take care of some human relationships. It would have been like before. , I don’t even dare to dream about such a life, but now I just want to be a freeloader with peace of mind. Yang Lin is naturally happy with it.
