Now that I can go to Lingnan, I feel a little excited when I think of the plans that Lin Jinyue mentioned.
See everyone is laughing foolishly.
Lin Jinyue couldn't bear to spoil the fun at this time, so she mentioned their travel permit and settlement plan, and told them to talk about it after they got there.
But when Mr. Tan heard that they were going to the remote place of Yunhe Village, he was a little puzzled, so he asked: "Why do you want to go to Yunhe Village? Is there any special place?"
However, Lin Jinyue did not answer him directly, but just smiled and said: "I think that place is good, it is remote and safe enough."
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Tan Laobian didn't ask any more questions.
I just waited until the evening to talk and found Lin Jinyue again.
That’s right, it’s Lin Jinyue, not her father Lin Shucheng.
Mr. Tan also realized that the one who had a say in this group of people was actually an eight-year-old girl.
Mr. Tan didn't beat around the bush and directly mentioned his desire to work together.
Lin Jinyue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said to him, "I'm really sorry, old man. The place we are going to is remote and dangerous. I think you and your granddaughter have a way, so we don't have to go together."
"I think it would be better for you to go directly to Yunsong County and write to your family."
This is a lot safer, isn't it?
Lin Jinyue said it bluntly, she really didn't want to bring strangers along.
It's not bad to just do a little business, or to establish a good relationship, so that future business can be mutually beneficial.
But if she really had to take him along, Lin Jinyue was a little worried. In the past two days, Wang's family generals and Li the blacksmith had not worked much, for fear that the grandfather and grandson would notice something unusual.
After all, there were a lot of other things in the telescope along the way, so it was okay to use it to fool the villagers. He made an excuse that the villagers he saw in the book were not of good character, but the old man in front of him was a wealthy businessman with a wide range of knowledge, and he would definitely be able to find clues.
How could ordinary farmers make these magical things?
Lin Jinyue didn't want to cause trouble later, so she refused.
Tan Yu felt a little regretful that he couldn't be with Lin Jinyue. What if he encountered snakes, insects, rats, ants, or bandits again? He wanted to follow this team that was fleeing famine.
Mr. Tan just sighed. He was really helpless. Why couldn't it be possible?
He is really anxious.
Seeing this, he felt a little unhappy. When he was in the capital, so many people begged him and wanted to curry favor with him, but they didn't expect that it would be so difficult for him to form a team to escape famine.
However, when he heard that Lin Jinyue would stay here for about ten days until Liu Dazhuang's injury got better, Mr. Tan felt relieved. It was okay, the relationship could be cultivated slowly.
*
Lin Jinyue didn't let anyone idle these days, and Lin Xueqing was finally rescued by her.
Because Lin Jinyue asked him to quickly teach the villagers how to fight.
Don't be in a hurry to study, he is still on the run. I will find him a good teacher to study with after we get to Lingnan.
After Lin Jinyue brought it up, Old Tan felt a little uncomfortable. Before he was exiled, he was the prime minister. Even after he was dismissed from office, there were still many scholars who wanted to be his disciples. He didn't expect that after coming to Lingnan, he had to beg people to read and write.
How could Mr. Tan not know that the current situation was special, but he really didn't know what other way he could use to make Lin Jinyue and her family accept him.
Mr. Tan was a little anxious because he had nothing else to show for himself except studying.
Previously, Mr. Tan did want to rely on his daughter and son-in-law.
But he felt that Lin Jinyue's group seemed more reliable. Although they were farmers, they were all well-trained and never dragged their feet or asked too many questions. The young man also taught him a set of boxing techniques, and his little granddaughter also learned them. After coming here, she actually fought quite well and was able to beat the guards for a few moves.
There is also the water filtering equipment that Lin Jinyue and the others use. It looks simple, but when the turbid and yellowish water goes in, it becomes clear and drinkable water when it comes out.
Mr. Tan couldn't help but sigh at the magic.
As for the crossbows they made, even the famous craftsmen in the capital would find it difficult to make them to this level.
This group of people either had a fortuitous encounter or came from a prominent background.
Old Tan felt that it would be more reliable to follow them. Moreover, the current situation in the court was volatile. If he could settle down in Yunhe Village with this group of people, it would also be a way out for his daughter, son-in-law, and his sons.
Old Tan looked at his granddaughter and couldn't help but sigh. The current emperor was incompetent, and his two sons were banished to the most dangerous places to serve as county magistrates. A heavy hammer was hanging over their heads all the time. He had no way of persuading his sons to resign, and could only protect his only granddaughter and his daughter who was far away in Lingnan.
These days, the more Mr. Tan thought about it, the more he felt that it would be a good idea to follow Lin Jinyue and the others, so he began to think about settling down with them.
Who knew that the little kid was still not happy.
Mr. Tan was so angry. When had he ever suffered such an injustice?
These past few days, Lin Jinyue has been trying to find a way to make some easy-to-carry medicinal herb powder, and she also wanted to take everything she could carry from the forest.
She was so busy that she was running around, but she also noticed something unusual about Mr. Tan.
She sighed and pretended not to see it. It was not that Lin Jinyue was cruel, but it was really inconvenient because she had too many secrets.
Mr. Tan was unwilling to give up, so he put his intention on Lin Xueqing.
Anyway, he must cling to Lin Jinyue's thigh.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen, with handsome features, Mr. Tan felt that Lin Xueqing was very methodical in his speech and behavior, although he was illiterate and his handwriting was not perfect...
But times are different now.
Now that their Tan family has fallen on hard times, Lin Xueqing is worthy of his granddaughter.
So, Mr. Tan came up to Lin Jinyue and asked, "Little girl, what do you think of my granddaughter marrying your brother and becoming your sister-in-law?"
Lin Jinyue was drinking water and almost choked.
Mr. Tan was unhappy: "Do you think my granddaughter is not worthy of your brother?"
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "That's not the case. I just need to see if my brother and your granddaughter have any objections. Besides, my brother is still young, how old is Tan Xue? Isn't this inappropriate?"
Mr. Tan was a bit old-fashioned: "Marriage is originally decided by parents and matchmakers. If you think my granddaughter is okay, then you can settle this matter. When we get to Lingnan and my granddaughter grows up, it won't be too late to get married."
Lin Jinyue was frightened by the old man and thought that even if he wanted to stay, he wouldn't sacrifice his granddaughter.
It's not that she was belittling herself, it's just that their family was refugees fleeing famine. The Tan family was obviously a wealthy family and they had relatives in Lingnan. Why would they force his granddaughter to marry his brother?
Seeing that the little girl was not interested, Mr. Tan sighed and said after a while:
"Little girl, my son-in-law has some influence in Lingnan, and maybe he can help you. The situation is unstable now, and I also want to leave a way out for my children."
This is a preparation to reveal all the cards.
