The next morning, just after finishing morning exercises and eating breakfast, Lin Ran came running over with Song Qianzhong and others.
"Little sister, are you full? We have to go out after dinner!"
These days they go to the mountains to collect herbs and hunt every day, and have saved a lot of things, which they plan to sell in the county.
"Oh, second brother, don't rush me. I'm almost there. Wait a minute, I'll be ready soon."
Xiao Lingling held the bowl, drank the last bit of lean meat porridge, and burped with satisfaction.
Xu Guling rubbed her head with amusement, "Okay, then I'll give you another day off today. But you're not allowed to run around anymore after that.
Don't forget there's another small competition every month, so you can't relax. It would be so embarrassing if you lose, right? "
Little Bell was also thinking about this and quickly patted her chest, "Master, don't worry. I'm here. I'm sure we won't lose!"
At worst, she could just cheat. She couldn't lose anyway. She was a face-saving babe~~~
Seeing that she had finished eating, Lin Ran hurried to prepare the carriage.
There are a lot of people here today, and there are a lot of things. There are two large baskets of medicinal herbs alone that I plan to take out to sell.
There were also eight hares and six pheasants still alive, and they had to be put into baskets separately.
There are even five big fat fish, which Xiao Lingling caught from the pond on the mountain. Except for the food left for her, all the food is here.
However, Qin Yu rarely went with them today, but asked Chen Zhe to arrange a carriage to help.
The carriage was moving at a fairly fast pace, and when it arrived at the county, it was still just before 10 a.m.
Everyone went to the wood shop first, after all, today was the day when the first batch of orders were delivered.
This is a big day for the Lin family, and of course Lin Changshu and Lin Feng will be there.
Five ox carts rented by Lin Yue were parked at the door. In order to reduce bumps, thin mattresses were placed in every corner.
Lin Yue saw the carriage and hurried over to greet it, "Dad, you're here!"
Lin Changshu glanced at Lin Yue and said, "Yes, we're here. Are the ox carts here?"
"They're all here. There are five in total. That should be enough."
Maybe because it was his first time, Lin Yue seemed a little excited and his hands were rubbing involuntarily.
"Okay, then! Go ahead and send it to Madam Zhang right away."
Lin Yue nodded repeatedly, "Okay! Then, let's start installing!"
The former Jia Mansion has now been renamed Zhang Mansion.
This first batch of orders is from the Zhang family. It is a complete set of furniture. Even if there are five ox carts, it will probably take two trips back and forth to load it.
As soon as the tables and chairs of all sizes were brought out, their exquisite workmanship immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
"Oh, this eight-immortal table is really beautiful. What kind of flower is carved on it?"
"The carvings below seem to be those eight famous flowers. I don't really understand them, but they're definitely beautiful."
"Hiss, if I had known that our daughter's dowry would be ordered here, it would be too embarrassing to take it out."
"Who says it's not? But we haven't ordered yet. I'll go back and discuss it with the head of the family. Then we can come here to order, even if it's just one."
Amid the discussions around them, the furniture was slowly loaded onto the car and started heading towards Zhang's house.
Wherever it goes, it immediately attracts everyone's attention.
The Lin family believes that as long as they get through today, business will definitely get better and better.
Lin Ran was also happy to see this, but he was still thinking about making money, so he pulled Lin Hao to start dividing the work.
"Brother, how about this? You take Song Qianzhong to a pharmacy to sell the medicine. Sun Yongxuan and I will go to a restaurant to sell these prey and honey. How about this?"
Lin Hao nodded, "Okay, no problem. Then Xiao Lingdang, Tongtong and Qiaomei come with me.
We'll pass by the county government office on our way to the pharmacy, so you can just go in directly."
Xiao Lingling carried the tonic she had prepared for her godmother on her back.
"Okay, then let's go. After you guys have finished sending us off, come find us at the county government office."
"Okay, don't worry, my second brother will pick you up. Grandpa, we'll leave first. We'll try to be back before noon."
Lin Changshu was busy counting the remaining furniture in the order. "Okay, go ahead. Be careful and don't run around. Come back quickly when you're done."
Song Jie smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Lin, I happened to be passing by and will accompany them to the restaurant."
After saying that, the two groups split up and acted on the left and right.
Although the medicinal herbs take up space, they are very light after being processed and dried, so Lin Hao and Sun Yongxuan are not tired even if they carry a basket each.
When passing by the county government office, the three girls walked straight in. There were only two yamen runners on duty in the lobby.
"Miss, you are back. The master is working in the study in the back hall with the teacher, and the lady is resting in the backyard."
Wu Tongtong nodded, "Then let's go in first. Come on, little sister, let's go see my mother first."
The three of them ran to the backyard, and when they passed by the study, they happened to meet Wu Bokai and his lawyer coming out.
"Hey, you two girls are finally willing to come back?"
The two sisters laughed at Wu Bokai's joke, "Dad, don't get me wrong, we came back to see my mother, hehe."
Wu Bokai felt a pang of pain in his heart. "Hey, little girl, your father's love for you was in vain, wasn't it?"
Wu Tongtong made a face at him, which made Wu Bokai laugh.
That's great! When has my daughter ever been so lively and energetic before? This is more like a child.
Xiao Lingdang didn't say anything, but stared at the master beside her.
The smile on this man's face was very fake, and the smile did not even reach his eyes. One could even see the unwillingness hidden deep in his eyes.
When the lawyer secretly looked at Wu Bokai, his eyes were even more dirty.
Looking at the black energy surging on his body, although it was not too much, it already indicated that he was not a good person.
Moreover, this legal advisor seemed too wealthy. Could it be that being a legal advisor was so lucrative?
Xiao Lingdang always felt that something was fishy, and she didn't hide it from him. She looked straight at Wu Bokai and said, "Godfather, I have something to ask you."
Wu Bokai turned to look at her and said, "Okay, ask me, and I'll tell you everything I know."
"Godfather, I want to ask, if someone is conscripted and taken to the border, where will the letters he sends back go?
Also, where will the names of the victims and the compensation money go?"
Although Xiao Lingdang was looking at Wu Bokai when asking, her eyes were always fixed on the master.
As expected, the moment this question was asked, the master's eyes became evasive and unnatural for a moment.
There must be something fishy going on here!
Wu Bokai didn't expect her to ask this, but he still answered her in detail.
"What you're talking about, whether it's letters, lists, compensation silver, or salary silver, is handled by a dedicated person.
They are all sorted out in order at the border. One copy will be sent to the capital, and the other will be delivered in batches by the post station according to the address.
These will first go to the county government office, and then be sent down through the county government office and the yamen runners.
In previous years, it was the master who helped register and delegate these matters. What happened? Why are you suddenly asking this?
