"It's what I should spend. I have to spend it. I can't save it."
Lin He didn't mind spending money, because he would earn it back in the future anyway.
Li Yu didn't know what Lin He was thinking. If he knew, he would probably be shocked.
What do you want to do? How can you make money as an official? Is he planning to be a corrupt official?
Unfortunately, she didn't know that she was asking Lin Hai something else.
"This house was found by Yu Shan, right?"
"Mom, you know everything, right? When we first arrived, the middleman saw that we were from outside the area and asked for a lot of money. So we went to look for it ourselves, and unexpectedly we met Yu Shan on the street."
The capital is not big, but not small either, so it is common to encounter such a thing.
The next most crucial thing is Lin Mei’s marriage. It is now early February, and Lin Mei’s marriage will be in mid-March.
There is only one month left, time is running out.
Early the next morning, Li Yu was planning to arrange everyone's responsibilities, but unexpectedly, Yu Shan came.
"Aunt, I know you just arrived in Beijing and you must not have packed everything yet. My mother asked me to bring the second steward from the mansion with me.
She said that you don’t know where to buy people and things at the moment, and the second steward is familiar with them. If you don’t know anything, just ask him directly.”
This is really a timely help. Li Yu and his friends have money, but they don't have a guide.
From this we can see that the head of the Yu family is quite good.
"We really need someone we know, so I'll be happy to help you. Go back and thank your parents for me."
"Auntie, you're so polite. We're all family."
When he talked about family, his face turned red.
Li Yu thought that he and Lin Mei hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he said to him, "Meimei is packing her things in the back, go meet her."
After meeting this time, the next time we meet, it will probably be time for us to get married.
"Thank you, auntie."
After Yu Shan thanked him excitedly, he ran to the backyard.
Logically speaking, the rule of a wealthy family is that outsiders are not allowed to enter the backyard. This can be seen from the expression of the second housekeeper brought by Yu Shan. He was shocked when Li Yu said this.
However, just this time, Li Yu was still willing to give Yu Shan this convenience.
Lin Mei was tidying up the garden with her sisters and aunts.
The garden is very big, and all the flowers in it are dead. The old lady feels sad.
"How come this big piece of land is just sitting there? It would be great if you could grow some vegetables. It would be enough for your family to eat. Everything in Beijing costs money."
Li Yu doesn't care, just grow vegetables.
So I just let them do whatever they want.
Lin Mei was digging the ground with sweat all over her face when Lin Xing next to her poked her arm.
"Look who's here?"
"Who is it?"
Lin Mei looked up and saw Yu Shan, who was looking at her from the gate connecting the front and back yards.
Thinking of her own miserable appearance, Lin Mei felt ashamed.
But she was not one of those shy noble ladies, and after the initial embarrassment passed, it was nothing.
She walked towards Yu Shan and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say we can't meet?"
This means that the man and woman cannot see each other for three months before the marriage.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. My aunt allowed me to come in and see you."
"Now that we've seen each other, let's go back quickly. If others see us, they'll say we don't know etiquette."
For Lin Mei, she doesn't care what others say, but she doesn't want her family and Yu Shan to be talked about.
"I know, don't worry, I'll just see you once and then leave."
After that, he added, "Then I'm leaving, wait for me."
Wait for me to marry you.
Lin Mei didn't understand what he meant, "What?"
Yu Shan shook his head. "Nothing. I have to go on duty. Here you go."
After saying that, he stuffed a handkerchief into her hand and turned away.
Lin Mei held the handkerchief in her hand, puzzled as to why he was giving her a handkerchief.
At this time, her face felt itchy, so she scratched it with her hand and got mud on her fingers.
........
Thinking that this man gave her the handkerchief because her face was too dirty, Lin Mei was speechless.
Wouldn't he remind me? And I was talking to him like this.
Doesn't he dislike it at all?
Of course, it’s too late to complain now.
The family has been very busy lately, with servants to be selected and Lin Mei's dowry to be prepared.
Li Yu and Yang Liu were busy all the time, and Lin Hai and Lin Jiang, along with the second housekeeper of the Yu family, were running around outside every day.
Lin He didn't care about these things, and Li Yu didn't let him care either. The Spring Examination was only two months away, so it was better not to be distracted.
Li Yu left the servant matters to these two people. As for Lin Mei's dowry, she discussed with the other women in the family what to buy and asked them to run errands.
Of course, Li Yu and Yang Liu had to pick out the clothes, fabrics, rouge, jewelry, etc. themselves.
By the time everything was ready, it was already March, and there was only half a month left until Lin Mei's wedding.
