"Last night it started to rain on the crabapples, and several of them were light and delicate, and they were ready to talk."
Although they are biological sisters, the style of Anemone is completely different from that of Golden Lotus. Golden Lotus is charming and charming, while Anemone is charming and naive.
Maybe it was because she ate well and slept well in the Lin Mansion, but Nizi had gained some weight these days and felt fleshy in her hands. Lin Yi liked the feel of it very much.
A spring breeze comes overnight,
Thousands of pear trees are in bloom.
Jin Lian couldn't sleep, her sister's voice kept coming to her ears, but her mind filled up countless pictures.
"Jinlian, come in."
Lin Daguan's voice came from inside.
Jin Lian quickly stood up.
Just as Anemone had served herself before, this time it was her turn to serve her sister. Looking at her sister's limp appearance, she suddenly felt funny again.
When it was her first time, the master left in the morning and left Anemone to take care of her. The younger sister secretly laughed at how she couldn't get up the first time. She must have suffered a lot this time.
She knows very well how powerful the master is.
When my sister is like this, it is probably the first time that the master has taken pity on her and shown mercy to her.
Wash, wipe and change sheets.
After a while, she finally cleaned up. Just when Jin Lian was about to go back, Lin Yi said: "It shouldn't be warm sleeping alone outside. Come and sleep together."
Jinlian was delighted.
He took off his embroidered shoes, climbed onto the bed and lay down on the other side next to Lin Daguan.
The big step-down bed in Lin Yi's room is more than enough to sleep five people, not to mention three people. The most important thing is that it's warm, one on each side.
Snowflakes are falling outside.
There were hugs from left to right in the room.
How comfortable this life is.
What,
You call me a shameless harem.
Go ball.
In this virtual game world, can't you live a wonderful and happy life? Let alone moral etiquette, Lin Yi considers himself just an ordinary person.
And if they let their sisters go out, would they be better off than just living with them?
No,
Lin Yi dared to say that it would not be the case.
So there is nothing wrong with following him, and he can sleep with peace of mind.
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day,
Lin Yi got up early.
Jin Lian helped to get dressed, "Master, the snow hasn't stopped outside yet, do you still want to practice martial arts?"
Lin Yi opened his hand and asked Jin Lian to help him get dressed, and said: "Winter training is practiced in the winter and summer, and you can't stop no matter whether the weather is good or bad. This is not only to train your skills, but also to temper your will. If it rains on the battlefield,
It's snowing and hot and cold, so you don't mind the bad weather and don't go out to fight, okay?"
outhouse,
Jin Lian brought warm water again.
Wait for Lin Yi to wash his face and brush his teeth.
martial arts training ground,
The field was filled with thick snow, enough to be fifteen centimeters thick. Lin Yi did not let his servants clear the snow, so he started practicing in the snow.
Fists and kicks.
Bow and arrow.
stick,
Overlord gun.
Nothing is left behind.
Just when the shooting session was about to end, Zhou Tong slowly walked over and saw the white steam steaming from Lin Yi's head, and nodded with satisfaction.
It is difficult for such a person to succeed if he is extremely talented and willing to work hard.
When Lin Yi saw the teacher coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Then Zhou Tong gave Lin Yi some pointers. He was very serious about every lesson and every drill.
After breakfast,
Lin Yi was about to go out and asked the driver to hitch the carriage and called Youcai to follow.
"Master, what are you planning to do?"
"Go to two stores and have a look. The Chinese New Year will be in ten days, so we have to make some arrangements." The Chinese New Year is a big event for the Chinese people. After a hard year, they need to have a good rest and visit relatives and so on. Those clerks
After working for the Lin family for a year, he must have been waiting for his employer to pay him.
Come to the herbal medicine store.
When the shopkeeper saw Lin Yi coming, he hurriedly welcomed him out. Lin Yi didn't waste any words, "There are two things to do today. The first is to take stock of this year's harvest. The second is to make profits. Anyone who works for the Lin family will never
Not treated well."
Lishi is a red envelope, or bonus.
Lin Yi said this in the lobby, and all the clerks heard it, and they all became excited, and they were finally going to pay.
In fact, the ideas of the guys are very simple and simple. They work hard to earn money to support their families. The more money the boss gives, the better the boss is in their minds.
house,
Lin Yi read the account book,
Just by looking at it with my eyes and quickly calculating in my mind, I know the profit and loss for the year and the inventory in the warehouse.
Last year, this herbal medicine shop made him a total profit of more than 3,000 yuan, excluding expenses and expenses. If it were a normal day, this would definitely be an exciting profit, but for Lin Yi now, it is only a drop in the bucket.
"Bring me the list of stores." Lin Yi said.
The shopkeeper quickly handed over the list.
There is one shopkeeper, one accounting master, three supervisors who buy and sell medicines, and the most common are the handymen who dry medicines, move medicines, and transport goods, a total of more than thirty people.
“How many red packets were given during the Chinese New Year last year?”
The shopkeeper reported the numbers one by one. Lin Yi nodded, thinking it was reasonable, and asked: "How many are the others?"
The shopkeeper talked about the year-end fortunes of several other stores. Comparatively speaking, Lin Yi's was already in the running.
"In this way, everyone will get a 20% increase this year." Lin Yi agreed.
The shopkeeper's great joy.
He is the big shopkeeper, he gets the most red envelopes, and he also gets the most in the 20% increase. "Thank you, sir. I think the guys will be very happy when they know this news, and they will definitely work harder next year."
Lin Yi stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. It's not over yet. Each person will be given two jins of polished rice, two jins of white flour, two jins of brown sugar, one jin of preserved fruit, two jins of pork, and two jins of mutton. I believe we have it."
With this, many families can have a comfortable New Year."
"By the way, if you are in charge or above, double the amount."
The shopkeeper was even more happy, "Thank you, sir, thank you very much for your consideration."
"You are responsible for purchasing the things I mentioned. The money will be deposited in the store's account. Okay, now go tell them." Lin Yi said.
The shopkeeper went out and soon heard cheers coming from the store.
The red envelopes at the end of the year have increased, which is already very exciting. They also give out so many years of goods. You know, these gifts from the boss are not cheap. Those at the bottom of the red envelope can only buy these things. This is equivalent to giving them double red envelopes.
.
Lin Yi and Youcai came out and were about to go to the sugar shop. The guys bowed from the bottom of their hearts, looking more respectful than before.
In fact, their requirements are not very high.
It's really not high.
As long as they are given money and materials to live on, they are willing to work hard, but some people want to deduct even this small amount of money.
Come to the sugar shop.
Shopkeeper Liu of the sugar shop quickly greeted Lin Yi when he saw him.
There are not many people in the sugar shop. They mainly do sales, buying and selling. Counting shopkeeper Liu and two stewards and assistants, there are about ten people in total.
But there is also a sugar factory with a herd of cattle, and there are more than 20 people there.
Lin Yi first checked the accounts. The income of the sugar shop in the first half of this year had not fluctuated much. According to the past situation, the sugar shop could earn Lin Yi more than 1,000 yuan a year. However, the accounts increased sharply from two months ago.
Professor Lin Yi's white sugar method allowed the sugar workshop to produce high-quality white sugar, and the profit tripled. Moreover, he had purchased so much white sugar before and shipped it in batches during this period. He has already made a profit of 4,000 guan this year.
, which is more than what a herbal medicine store makes, and it’s mainly in these two months.
If this model continues to develop, the profits of sugar shops will definitely explode next year, with profits expected to be around 15,000 guan.
Putting down the account book, Lin Yi said: "This year, all the red envelopes for the owners of the sugar shop have increased, and there are also new year's goods rewards."
Lin Yi explained the new year goods to be distributed.
The shopkeeper's joy.
This year it was much higher than in previous years, especially for him. Shopkeeper Wang asked again, "Is it the same at the sugar factory?"
"Of course, everyone will be treated equally," Lin Yi said.
Shopkeeper Liu said: "Lao Niu and his family can only get a few thousand dollars in red envelopes this year, and there are four new year's gifts."
Lin Yi said that he would get double shares as a steward, and Lao Niu, the manager of the sugar factory, would also get double shares, as would his two sons.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "They deserve this. As long as they work hard, I will not be stingy with bonuses and red envelopes."
Shopkeeper Liu quickly thanked me.
After arranging things in the store, Lin Yi took Youcai home. On the way, he asked Youcai: "Are you ready for the Chinese New Year stuff at home?"
"Ready, sir."
Lin Yi ordered, "The maids, servants, cooks, and cart drivers all have New Year's gifts, and there are also New Year's gifts. By the way, I've arranged the Golden Lotus, Anemone, Chunmei, and Xiu'er."
"Okay, sir, I will make arrangements." Youcai said with a smile.
After I went home and had lunch, the sun came out in the sky and it was very bright, making me feel like it wasn't that cold anymore.
house,
The girls were chatting quietly, and Chunmei said, "There is a temple fair today. I don't know if it's hot or not."
"I heard that there are opera singers, jugglers, entertainers, storytellers, all kinds of goods, delicious food and fun. I really want to see them." Xiu'er said.
Anemone said: "I want to go too."
Chunmei looked at Anemone and asked, "Are you comfortable today?"
Anemone blushed.
At this moment, Lin Yi opened the cotton curtain and came in. The girls immediately stood up. Lin Yi looked at them and said with a smile: "I heard it outside, and I want to go to the temple fair, right? Well, I also want to go out for a walk."
Come on, you guys put on warm clothes and go together."
The girls immediately cheered.
The coachman was driving a mule cart, which was pulling Mr. Lin and four women. The five people in the carriage made the carriage seem a bit crowded, but it was more interesting. Youcai and two male servants were walking outside the carriage to follow them.
The temple fair in Qinghe County is outside Chongxing Temple.
Chongxing Temple has been built for more than a hundred years. It is located by the canal and covers a vast area. Lin Yi first took a few girls into the temple to offer incense. Although he did not believe in Buddhism, he still offered a stick of incense as a courtesy.
I always pay for sesame oil.
The temple fair is just outside the temple. The three miles of the long street are full of various stalls. The snow on the stone road has been cleared away. There are many tourists. Just watch the show. This kind of open-air venue is too cold. Lin Yi will know if he wants to watch the show.
Take some girls to the Goulan box to listen to music.
Juggling and magic can be used to join in the fun.
They were so happy that they rewarded them with a handful of copper coins. The artists quickly thanked them and went to the selling area, where there were various stalls for people to eat, drink and have fun.
While playing.
Met a few acquaintances.
Earl Ying and Xie Xida came over with a few well-known gangsters from the streets of Qinghe County, swaying as they walked, looking like street tigers.
But when several people saw Lin Yi, they immediately put on smiles and trotted to Lin Yi, "Master, you are also going out to play on the street today."
As he spoke, he glanced at the women behind Lin Yi, but he didn't dare to look any further.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded.
Earl Ying stepped forward and lowered his voice next to Lin Yi: "Sir, we have been struggling with Peach Blossom Pavilion for two months, but the boss is holding on. It may take some time."
In fact, this matter is dispensable to Lin Yi, just to give Li Jiaoer a place to stay.
"Don't worry, you can take your time."
The girls stopped in front of an embroidery stall to select beautiful embroidered handkerchiefs. Count Ying and Xie Xida did not leave either, but followed Lin Yi and said a few words from time to time.
Just then, an old woman walked by and saw Earl Ying, Xie Xida and those gangsters. She immediately put on a smile and came over to say hello, "Hey, aren't these Uncle Ying and Uncle Xie? You guys are also coming to the temple fair.
"
Lin Yi looked at the old woman. She was about fifty years old. Her face was full of wrinkles and wrinkles. At first glance, she was not a kind person.
Earl Ying was obviously a little impatient, "Yes, we are shopping. We have other things to do here. Madam Wang, you can go shopping on your own."
The old woman looked at Lin Yi, but her eyes shone. Instead of leaving, she took a few steps closer and bowed to Lin Yi, "Old woman, if you admit your mistake correctly, you are a member of the official Lin family, right?"
When Earl Ying called out the Queen's Wife, Lin Yi's heart moved. This old woman wouldn't be an important role in Jin Ping Meili of the Water Margin. She introduced Pan Jinlian to Ximen Qing's Wife Wang, right?
"Yes, it's me." Lin Yi nodded.
"Look, the high-ranking official is handsome and talented, but he is the leader of our Qinghe County. I am truly lucky to see you here..."
The old lady immediately offered her a set of flattery.
She had a purpose for approaching Lin Yi. To put it bluntly, she wanted to make some money from Lin Yi. However, Earl Ying also knew what this old pious woman was thinking and immediately said impatiently: "What is your identity? You are pestering a high official here.
hurry up."
Wang Po smiled awkwardly.
He did not dare to provoke Earl Ying, so he smiled at Lin Yi and left.
After Wang Po left, Earl Ying said: "This old godly woman is a matchmaker and a nanny. She can hug people's waists, help others take care of their children, and even talks about romance. She does things like Ma Boliu. She is only profit-seeking and greedy. She is popular on the street.
The evaluation is extremely bad, and contact with her has tarnished the status of a high-ranking official."
A matchmaker is a matchmaker, and a matchmaker is a broker. They are somewhat similar to middlemen such as Earl Ying and Xie Xida, except that Earl Ying and Xie Xida do it on a large scale, while she does it on a small scale.
As for helping people to take in concubines, it means introducing them to concubines, and "talking about style" and "Ma Boliu" are interesting, but they are actually bringing together illegitimate relationships between men and women.
Earl Ying continued: "I heard that she also introduced girls from poor families to be sold to brothels and earned a lot of money from them. She even seduced girls from certain families who had beautiful young daughters-in-law and lured them into prostitution.
"
"I know a salesman who went out to sell some needles and threads on weekdays. He married a daughter-in-law who was very beautiful. The old lady kept pestering others and chatted about being a female celebrity. She talked about the bad things about the salesman and said she was such a woman every day.
, I should find a better one, and then I told a bunch of stories about prostitutes and talented men and beautiful women. In the end, the woman I lured went to a brothel, and the guy went to the brothel, but was beaten twice, and finally he didn’t dare to go back.
Revenge."
Lin Yi asked: "How is that woman doing now?"
"It was already ten years ago. At first, it was sold to Peach Blossom Pavilion, and then to other brothels. There were no talented and beautiful women, but it was true that thousands of people slept with them. Later, when they got old and beautiful, they could only become prostitutes. A few days ago
I heard that if you get flower disease, you may die soon."
After hearing this, Lin Yi had a sneer on his face.
Waved to Earl Ying, Earl Ying quickly put his ear forward and said, "Go find that woman and that salesman, ask them to file a lawsuit with the government, and find someone to deal with the old godly woman severely, forcing her to tell the truth and leave her mouth.
Confession, target Taohua Pavilion, I will go back to visit the county magistrate in two days and inform him of this matter."
Earl Ying immediately understood Lin Yi's plan.
Get excited.
If the case of forcing girls into prostitution is confirmed, not to mention that the brothel cannot be saved, the brothel owner may even be sued.
certainly,
He will find someone.
But Lin Daguan was intercepting in front, and it was useless for him to find someone. By then, Taohua Pavilion would be sold even if he didn't want to, and if it was half a success, then they would get their commission.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Prostitution was prevalent in the Song Dynasty, and girls were sold to brothels everywhere. But there is a bottom line here, that is, you must not "force good girls into prostitution." The so-called good ones here are married women from good families, because "forcing good girls into prostitution" will seriously disrupt social order.
, affects public order and good customs, is inconsistent with the moral standards of the Song Dynasty, and is strictly prohibited by the laws of the Song Dynasty. It is a serious crime to violate it.
If this one is caught.
Regardless of whether it is Wang Po or the owner of Peach Blossom Pavilion, he will be punished by death or exile. As for Peach Blossom Pavilion, it will definitely not be saved.
Lin Yi doesn't need to worry too much about the rest.
Earl Ying took the people away.
They moved quickly. They were people on the street, so it was easiest to find someone. In a low, cold and dilapidated house, they found the sick old prostitute. In fact, she was only a little over thirty years old.
The woman had only a tattered quilt on her body, her body was covered with abscesses, and there was a bowl of cold rice soup on the bedside that was almost freezing.
Earl Ying covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said: "You were originally a good housewife. You deserved to be seduced to this point. However, there are also people who seduced you with evil intentions. I only ask you, do you want to have a mouth before you die?"
After you are full, do you want to have a coffin after your death? Do you want to take revenge on those who brought you to this point?!"
The woman's dull eyes suddenly turned a little ferocious.
"I think, I miss them to death every day."
Earl Ying came out of the house and said to his subordinates: "Find a doctor to take a look at her. Don't let her die immediately. Let's burn the kang for her, make some hot food for her, and then find someone to write her a petition."
His subordinates immediately agreed to do it.
Then Earl Ying found the salesman again. The salesman suffered a tragic accident that year and was beaten until he vomited blood. Although he remarried later, he still felt resentful in his heart. It was just that those people were powerful and he could not deal with them.
Now that Earl Ying found him, although he didn't know what Earl Ying's purpose was, he gritted his teeth and said: "Sue, I am willing to sue, otherwise this tone will be carried into the coffin even after death."
"I will find someone to help you write the petition later." Earl Ying said.
As for the old pious woman Wang Po, how could Earl Ying let her go? On the same day, he brought several people to her tea shop. Without saying a word, he held a bamboo board and slapped the old guy in the face, beating him.
Blood spurts from the mouth, the ghost cries and howls like a wolf.
"Uncle Ying, Uncle Xie, why are you beating the old woman? The old woman doesn't dare to do anything to provoke you." Wang Po howled.
"I'm just asking you, how did you seduce the salesman's wife back then?" Earl Ying said.
Wang Po was surprised.
Why are things that happened more than ten years ago being uncovered again?
What kind of deity did you offend?
"No, the old woman doesn't know." Wang Po denied.
Xie Xi sneered and said viciously: "Don't think that we are officials. If you don't know a word, we can't do anything. If you don't tell us, we will pull out your nails one by one, pry off all your teeth, and then pull out both ends and give you medicine."
Here comes the yellow dog. When he is hungry, he will feed you yellow soup to see if you say yes or not."
Wang Po was shocked and turned pale.
she knows,
These people in front of me can really do these things.
"No, I really haven't done this. Oh my God, please spare me." Wang Po used the old woman's method of cutting meat and trying to trick her.
But Count Ying Xie Xi really didn't like her.
Wave.
Immediately someone began to serve the old godly woman.
"Ahhhhh~~!"
There were endless screams in the room.
I have to say that this old guy's mouth was quite tough, but Earl Ying was not in a hurry. He approached Mrs. Wang who was screaming in pain and said: "If you don't say anything, let's just play slowly. By the way, I will come back later."
If someone comes to Wang Chao for fun, one or two people will die outside the city and their bodies will be buried in the wilderness. No one will ever know about it."
Wang Chao is Wang Po’s son.
Her husband died a few years ago, and she had to live with her son like this. When she heard Count Ying's threat, Grandma Wang couldn't stand it anymore.
"Uncle Ying, Uncle Xie, don't touch my son, don't touch him, I said, I will say anything, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Earl Ying sneered twice.
"What a bastard. If I had agreed a long time ago, why would I have to suffer these physical pains?"
"Find someone, write her a testimony, and then find a place to lock her up until the case is concluded."
Lin Yi took a few girls to play on the street. The girls all had a great time and bought a lot of things before going home in the evening.
night,
Still served by anemones,
This time, Lin Yi didn't let Jin Lian go back to the outhouse, but just waited on her in front of her. With the two women together, it was naturally a different style.
The blessings of the people of Qi are beyond words.
