Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Lin Yuan didn't expect to see Brother Chen again. After all, he still remembers the night when the original owner and Brother Chen were separated. The moonlight was dim and the homeless people came like a tide. Brother Chen stopped the carriage, and the original owner couldn't see him clearly. Face, just know that he will run away immediately after listening to him.

Whenever I think of Brother Chen, Lin Yuan sighs involuntarily.

Goodbye now, with joy and emotion, he let go of the hand that was holding with Brother Jiang, and walked straight to Brother Chen, his expression was not stretched for a while, if he was happy and sad, his expression was very complicated.

"You're still alive." Lin Yuan took a deep breath, never expecting that there would still be a root when Brother Chen was alive and wanted to meet.

When he walked into this world, Chen Ge alone blocked the refugees, which gave him a great shock.

Brother Chen didn't seem to have any reaction on the surface, he just looked at Lin Yuan with a good look, with a trance in his expression.

I haven't seen him for almost three years, and the young master has become different from before.

"Boss?" The brawny man who came with him cried suspiciously.

Why did my boss accept an escort job and even recognize him?

Brother Chen raised his hand, and the man shut up immediately.

He looked at Lin Yuan with complicated eyes, and finally moved slowly. When the servant saw his master, he always knelt down.

He didn't get used to kneeling for three years.

However, before he got down on his knees, Lin Yuan had already grabbed his shoulders-climbing on tiptoe, with a smile on his face: "I really didn't expect it. Let me take you in. I will take you in. Property purchased."

After finishing talking, he brought Brother Chen in almost half-dragging, his expression was so natural that Brother Chen was in a trance for a moment.

The few people behind also followed in.

The eyes are fertile fields, men and women are working in the fields, and the spring is about to plant seeds. Everyone is very busy during this period, but people have smiles on their faces, wipe their sweat on their hips, and occasionally rest. Let’s take a cup and let it cool. Looking around, besides the shed and the Zhuangzi, there is a large and amazing coffin-like house, three stories high, no fancy decorations, flat and neat, call Chen and the others. All were a little shocked.

"Not bad?" Lin Yuan was finally a little proud. He said, "Long after a long time to reunite, I will take you to meet Erliang and his family. Both are in Zhuangzi, and your mother is also there."

Then Lin Yuan turned around and said to Brother Jiang, "Brother Jiang has been wading through the mountains for so long, and he must be tired too. I will talk about business tomorrow. I will ask someone to take you down to rest and wash."

Brother Jiang is not a person without vision, and nodded repeatedly: "Don't care about me, delaying for a few days is not a big deal."

Brother Chen's mother is Lin Yuan's wet nurse, and she is now helping with things in the back kitchen, except that she is preparing to deliver babies to pregnant women.

Everyone couldn't believe it when they saw Brother Chen.

After all, they didn't expect the cow eggs to survive.

When the two and two saw Brother Chen, they squeezed a few drops of cat urine from the corner of their eyes, sniffed his nose vigorously, and wiped the tears with the back of his hands. After the tears on his face dried, he felt painful again.

The servants of the Lin family also surrounded Brother Chen excitedly and asked him what he had gone through in the past few years, especially Brother Chen’s mother. Seeing his son okay in front of him, tears were never heard. , Brother Chen held his mother's shoulders helplessly, and saw her crying on his shoulders.

Then Brother Chen briefly talked about his experience over the past few years.

It turned out that the group of refugees did not want to kill them, but just wanted to find food. As a result, there was no grain of grain in the car except for the dry food on the way. That little dry food was only enough for an adult man to eat for two or three days.

When they found that they hadn't eaten, the refugees dispersed, and Brother Chen survived.

He didn't have any money, and he didn't know where Lin Yuan and the others had escaped, so they had to find a place to shelter first.

Eventually he stopped in a field.

It's probably because of good skills to survive by hunting, and many people gather around unconsciously.

After having people, they live like bandits and live by robbers.

To sum up, Brother Chen now has a group of people in a field. He himself took the job of escorting the merchants this time, and brought out the most intrepid ones under his hand. As a result, he met a few groups of bandits and had to escape first. After getting lost in the mountains, he brought Jiang Guang and came here.

Lin Yuan touched his chin: "I always feel that there is providence in the dark. It was God who asked us to reunite."

The nurse nodded: "Exactly!"

Father Lin also said, "Since they are all here, I must stay here in the future. They are always a family!"

Brother Chen said, "I still have many brothers out there."

He is now big and small, and he always has to take care of the livelihoods of his brothers.

At this time, Lin Yuan did not answer the conversation. He has not been dazzled by the joy of reuniting. What's more, the source of his feelings for Brother Chen is only the memory of the original owner. He has not seen him in three years. What is Brother Chen now? He has no bottom in his heart.

And listening to his tone, the people under his hands are all thugs, and if you dare to rob bandits, your fighting power must be not weak.

If he rashly allows Brother Chen to bring those people in, if something goes wrong...Even if he wins, the people he has managed to cultivate now will definitely pay a lot of price, and he simply can't afford that now. cost.

Brother Chen stood up. He was only a little taller than Lin Yuan three years ago. Now standing next to Lin Yuan, he is almost a head taller than Lin Yuan. No matter how tall he is, he should be 1.8 meters tall.

"Don't ask you to bother, I naturally have my way." His expression was cold, and he showed a momentum of different responses.

That's the aura that I didn't know how many times I played against the bandits.

Daddy Lin swallowed, knowing that the cow eggs in front of him are no longer the same cow eggs in front of him. He knows the current affairs and said, "Since I'm back, I still have to live for a few days. Besides, you and Yuan'er haven't seen each other for several years. There is always something to say."

The nanny took her son by the arm. After so many changes, she did not look like someone in her forties. Originally, she was a nanny in the Lin family, and her food and clothing were better than ordinary people, and she did not grow old so fast. , But she now looks no different from someone in her fifties.

He has chicken skin, wrinkles on his face and neck, and age spots on the back of his hands.

Since knowing that her son was missing, her energy has long since disappeared. If she hadn't been waiting for her master, she might have died long ago.

The nurse was a widow. After she became pregnant, her husband died in a fight in the field, but people on both sides felt that the other side had occupied more of their own land. From the beginning, the scolding gradually escalated into a fight. She lost her husband.

The parents-in-law could not stand the shock of losing their only son, and they passed away within a month.

She was pregnant and had nowhere to go, or the Yang family heard about her and told her to go to the Lin Family Village to raise a baby. It happened that a girl in the Lin Family was pregnant. When the child is born, if she does not have enough milk, she can still Nanny.

The nurse stayed in Lin's house like this, and she stayed for more than ten years.

"Cow egg." The nurse called her son's nickname and reached out to touch her son's face. With tears, she touched her son's facial features and his arm over and over again.

Brother Chen's sleeve was pushed up by the nurse, revealing an arm full of scars. There were knife wounds and scars left by blunt objects, which looked extremely hideous on the arm.

The nurse biting her lip: "How much suffering is this..."

Brother Chen smiled at the nurse: "Mother, it's just a small injury, it doesn't endanger your life, so it's not suffering."

The nurse carefully felt the scars: "Does it hurt?"

Brother Chen: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

That night, everyone in the Lin family was together and had a family dinner, while those of Brother Chen went to the cafeteria with people from the Zhuangzi.

The family banquet was still rich. Lin Yuan specially asked the kitchen to kill two chickens and three bamboo rats. He also made egg custard, fried a few wild vegetables that were only available in spring, and took out the rice wine seized by the bandits last time.

Daddy Lin sits north and south, sitting at the top of the dining table. He doesn't care about anything now, and can live a good life with his son. In his daily life, he laments that he has given birth to a good son, which is much better than his friends.

Now his old friends don’t know where to wander.

Did he find the son he sent out, or he has become a refugee.

Daddy Lin had thought about it before, but after thinking about it for two days, he just forgot about it.

Anyway, other people's family matters have nothing to do with him. Want to ask him to find someone?It is certainly impossible.

"Yuan'er is also big now." Father Lin took a sip of rice wine and sighed comfortably, "I actually enjoyed Yuan'er's blessing."

The servants below flattered: "Master, this is the blessing of the previous life, and this life is the blessing."

Daddy Lin laughed: "I feel the same way too!"

There was a lot of fun at the banquet, but Lin Yuan turned his head from time to time to look in the direction of Brother Chen. He hadn't seen him for three years. This man had matured and was a little unpredictable.

Brother Chen is comforting the nanny: "Mother, if you miss me, then go with me, and you will not have a hard time."

The nurse asked dazedly: "Go? Where to go?"

Brother Chen: "Naturally go to my village...where I am."

The grandmother shook her head quickly: "I'm not going anywhere, cow egg, you stay too, you forgot, you have been with the young master since you were young, our wife was rescued by the master and the wife, and people learned of the gratitude."

She has lived in the Lin family for more than ten years and has long considered the Lin family her home.

The master is not very temperamental, and the wife is a kind person. The young master is capable. This villager has a city wall. Because she is old, she has received some care and has not done any heavy work. Now her son is back, so she is nowhere. Don't want to go.

Brother Chen couldn't make any sense with the nurse, but turned around to find Lin Yuan was looking at him.

He looked at Lin Yuan and didn't know what it was like.

He is responsible for his brothers and loyal to the young master who grew up with him.

But loyalty can never have both sides.

When the banquet was over and everyone was full, Lin Yuan stood up and walked in front of Brother Chen, patted Brother Chen on the shoulder: "Let's go out and talk."

Brother Chen didn't refuse, and walked outside with Lin Yuan. Now it was dark and the cold wind was blowing in the early spring. Lin Yuan tightened the cotton-padded clothes on his body, but found that Brother Chen was not afraid of the cold wind in his thin shorts.

"Don't you think it's cold?" Lin Yuan asked curiously. They are all made of meat. How can they not be afraid of the cold?

Brother Chen smiled: "Get used to it."

"Master, how have you been in the past few years?" Brother Chen suddenly asked, "At that time I wanted to catch up with you, but I don't know where you are going."

Lin Yuan felt that he really needed a lonely cigarette at this time, and then pretended to say a few words full of life philosophy, but unfortunately there was no condition for him to pretend, and he could only say: "At that time, I and two The two fled to Wucheng and lived in the ruined temple outside the city. They were penniless. They found out the two hundred liang that my mother had hidden on me before they got through the storm."

"Stop talking about me, how about you? Are you now the owner of the village?" Lin Yuan's ears were sharp. Hearing that Brother Chen had just said a word for village, he immediately thought of the village. Since there is a group of brothers in his hand, he must have settled down At this point, relying on looting the surrounding bandits to make a living is actually not a good way, it can only be said to be desperate.

Brother Chen looked at the night sky: "In fact, at that time, I thought I couldn't live anymore, Master, but people always want to live. One day is one day."

"That's right." Brother Chen said suddenly, "There is a gentleman in the stockade who gave me a new name.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laughed.

Think about it, every time the village owner goes out, a bunch of younger brothers say: "Brother Niu Dan! Come back safely!" I feel very happy.

There is no momentum at all.

Lin Yuan asked: "What's the change?"

Chen Ge said: "Chen Bosong."

Lin Yuan: "This name is good, Bai Song is all good meaning."

Chen Baisong smiled.

"Are you still thinking about leaving here?" Lin Yuan said suddenly, "Nanny won't leave."

Chen Baisong is also suffering from this headache: "My mother, she..."

In fact, Lin Yuan still hoped that Chen Baisong would stay behind. After all, he was the original owner's playmate since childhood, and there are relatives here, and he is not a brother to the original owner than a brother. I really told him to leave, and Lin Yuan had no regrets.

"Is there enough food in your stockade?" Lin Yuan asked.

Chen Baisong didn't pretend for face, he nodded and said: "Otherwise, he won't come out to pick up escort jobs, as usual."

Merchants have money and want to do business even when the world is in chaos, and the more chaos, the price will go up a lot, especially for food and medicinal materials, both of which are huge profits.

After three years of not seeing each other, they were still a little strange when they suddenly met.

Especially Lin Yuan, although he has memories of Brother Chen, this memory belongs to the original owner, and he did not inherit the original owner's feelings.

Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan: "Master, you have grown up."

Lin Yuan was taken aback: "It seems that you are much older than me."

Chen Baisong was also a few months older than Lin Yuan.

Chen Baisong didn't speak, but smiled at the corner of his mouth. The young master in his memory had never grown up, had a kind heart, was gentle with everyone, and could not see the suffering in front of him.

If everyone in this world is like this, there won't be so many things, there won't be wars, and there won't be people who are displaced.

The young master has changed.

Chen Baisong stretched out his arm and patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder.

Nothing in this world is set in stone, everyone is changing.

It's just that some people are fast and some are slow.

Lin Yuan said: "Since you still have brothers out there, I won't force you to stay. I will take good care of the nanny. If anything happens, just come to me, and I will take care of everything."

He will repay the life-saving grace of Chen Ge to the original owner-although he did not seem to be able to save it.

"Master..." Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan with a smile in his eyes.

Sure enough, no matter when, the master will always be the master.

After the excitement of reuniting after a long absence, Lin Yuan rarely slept well. In his dream, he seemed to see the original owner smiling at him.

The next morning, when the sun was shining brightly, Lin Yuan crawled out of the bed, walked into the house with basins on both ends, and waited for Lin Yuan to freshen up. Lin Yuan’s hair was very long. Although the parents of the ancient language, the body, the skin and the skin, they can actually Hair is cut, but usually it is small trimming.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was already the word haircut.

"Two or two, cut my hair by the way." Although Lin Yuan's hair volume is not too much, it grows too fast. It is already very long. Plus three years of no trimming, it can be achieved by putting down black hair. thigh.

As Two and Two tied Lin Yuan's hair, they said, "Master's hair is so good. Cut it very well. It's dark and smooth. You don't need to cut it."

Lin Yuan: "It's too much trouble, it takes time to freshen up every day."

Because of the long hair, the ancients seldom wash their hair and there is no hair dryer. Generally, they do not wash their hair when the weather is cold. It is common not to wash their hair in autumn and winter. Even if it is washed, there are no saponins in the village at this time, even Lin Yuan always washes his hair with plant ash and water.

Lin Yuan discovered that many people in Zhuangzi did not wash their hair for a long time, and the oil blocked the hair follicles, and many people became alopecia areata.

——The troubles of hair loss really exist in any era.

Two and two used a comb to comb the pain for Lin Yuan, and said, "I see Brother Chen is very different from three years ago."

Thinking of the current Brother Chen, he said excitedly: "It's even more man! I will grow up like Brother Chen in the future!"

Erliang, a half-hearted young boy, used to yearn for Brother Dao.

Even if I personally experienced the smell of Brother Dao's feet, he did not change his mind.

Now that something more in line with his aesthetic came, he immediately abandoned Brother Dao.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then you have to work hard, eat more, and work more."

Two or two: "I have strength now."

After finishing my hair and changing clothes, it has been almost half an hour since I got up.

Sure enough, long hair is not very convenient, and Lin Yuan dare not cut it too short. After all, those with short hair now are either monks or criminals who have been tortured.

Lin Yuan went to see Jiang Guang first.

Jiang Guang is a trader, he has no fixed place and no family, but he has a lot of contacts, so he dare to walk in this season.

"Jiang, I sell everything." Jiang Guang and Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, with breakfast on the table, and said with a smile, "In addition to medicinal materials, food is also sold. If there is a shortage of people, people can also sell it."

Lin Yuan asked, "Where are the sword and the horse?"

Jiang Guang's smile changed in an instant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked honest with a little cleverness: "Although there are some, but at this price..."

Lin Yuan knew that the price must be scary without even thinking about it.

"Money is not collected." Jiang Guang said, "At this time, only silver and gold are collected."

What he calls money is the paper currency issued by the Yuan Dynasty. It has now become waste paper and is only useful in relatively stable towns. However, the amount is getting larger and larger. Ordinary people holding several hundred taels of paper currency may buy it. Not much food.

Lin Yuan can also understand that, after all, in a modern African country, inflation can reach hundreds of millions to buy a pair of slippers.

But he didn't have much gold and silver now. Yang Zi'an took most of the silver away, and the gold was only Yang's jewelry.

Lin Yuan really didn't want to use Yang's things as a last resort.

But the good thing is that the Lin family used to have a big business, and the jewellery purchased by the Lin family for the Yang family was all made of real gold and silver. There was no gilt or Sikkim, and everything was well-known and valuable.

"Brother Jiang." Lin Yuan said suddenly, "Although there is no gold or silver, I have something else here."

Jiang Guang didn't know why he raised his head. Without gold and silver, why talk about business?Merchants are chasing profits, which has been the case since ancient times.

Lin Yuan: "What do you think of this thing?"

Jiang Guang heard the sound and looked, but saw Lin Yuan take out something.

It was a huge jade that Jiang Guang had never seen in his life. The whole body was pure and white, and it was very transparent. It was not only floating on the surface, but under the sun, there was a feeling of light transmission of this jade. Such jade has no value. Fei, hard to see among the people, Jiang Guang swallowed and his eyes glowed.

Lin Yuan realized that Jiang Guang hadn't noticed, so he was relieved.

Of course, this jade was not real, it was made by the group of Chen Banxian, and they didn't know how to ask them to study a formula for explosives, how they learned to fake stones.

The texture of artificially-made jade is of course not comparable to real jade, but they have done meticulously. In this era without professional equipment, it is almost invincible based on the naked eye and hand feel analysis. No one looks at it. The stone used is also looking for I found it all over the mountains, and it took them a month to find this piece.

Originally, Lin Yuan was worried that jade would lose value now, but looking at Jiang Guang's eyes, he knew that there was still a market for this thing.

No matter how chaotic the world is, the princes and nobles at the top will still enjoy themselves. If the sword is not put on the neck, they will not be afraid.

"This thing..." Jiang Guang, "How precious!"

Lin Yuan: "This thing fell into my hands because of a coincidence. I want to change Brother Jiang for a car of medicinal materials. Is that more than enough?"

Jiang Guang looked at Lin Yuan: "Jiang is worth more than a car for telling lies with Master Lin."

"I want to change more horses." Lin Yuan said.

Jiang Guang touched his chin: "If it had been a few years ago, it would be enough to change ten horses, but now, I can only take three."

Lin Yuan didn't care about this either. It was a pure profit in exchange. Anyway, as soon as this piece of "fake jade" came out, Chen Banxian had experience, and the counterfeiting became more and more handy.

But jade is still worth money, and only this time.

Of course, you can make more money.

"Brother Jiang is really happy." Lin Yuan raised his teacup, "I will use tea instead of wine, and I will offer Brother Jiang a cup."

Jiang Guang also raised his teacup. He had already thought about whom he would sell to after he got the piece of jade. The people underneath were not living, and the people above were extravagant and enjoyable. Those people were rarer than gold and silver. Jade was rarer. He would surely be able to sell it for a good price.

Lin Yuan and Jiang Guang were both happy in their hearts.

Chen Banxian and the others didn't know that their workload would increase again.
