Daiyu decided to spend some time with her father.
"Father, Yu 'Er isn't going anywhere this time. She'll stay at home to accompany you.”Daiyu said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay, okay. Yu 'Er will stay at home to accompany Father.”Lin Ruhai felt very comforted.
Lin Mo looked at the father and daughter from the side. He couldn't help but think of his parents in the modern world. He wondered if Lin Mo had gone to the modern world to accompany his parents in his place.
Lin Ruhai saw that Lin Mo was silent, so he pulled Lin Mo's hand and said," Both of you are my good children.”
Lin Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also very touched. He also acted like a little child and snuggled up to Lin Ruhai. He felt very mushy and felt goosebumps all over his body.
After a moment of warmth, Lin Mo stood up and said,""Sister, it took you so long to come home. Is there anything you want to eat? Big brother told the kitchen to prepare it."
The little girl was still growing, so she moved around a lot every day and ate a lot. However, in the Jia residence, there were fat geese and ducks every day. They were greasy and people were sick of eating them.
"Brother, I want to eat vegetarian food today.”Daiyu said coquettishly.
"Alright, go to the kitchen and make the arrangements." Lin Mo agreed.
Lin Mo went down, and Daiyu continued to act coquettishly beside Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai enjoyed it very much.
The vegetarian dishes for lunch were very sumptuous. There were garlic eggplant, Ruyi Xianggan, aged vinegar peanuts, spicy potato strips, steamed tofu with double peppers, stir-fried pumpkin tips, steamed cabbage with garlic vermicelli, wild bamboo fungus, and so on. Other than rice, there was also a basket of steamed crystal dumplings. The outer skin was wrapped in flour, and inside was chives and eggs with ham. The red, yellow, and green dumplings were wrapped in transparent dumpling skins, and they were paired with prepared dipping sauce. It looked very tempting.
Daiyu ate very happily. She had eaten more than ten crystal steamed dumplings. She did not look like the " sick beauty " in the Dream of the Red Chamber at all. After dinner, Daiyu shouted,"I'm so full!"
Lin Ruhai looked at Daiyu with pity. How could he have thought of sending his daughter to the Jia residence? Now that his son was accompanying him and he was alive, Daiyu seemed to be very restrained in the Jia residence.
Lin Mo laughed so hard that he was swaying back and forth. Daiyu didn't want to give him a beating.
Lin Ruhai looked at his son and daughter and felt that nothing was more satisfying than this.
Daiyu wanted to go to bed after eating, but Lin Mo forced her to take a walk in the courtyard, afraid that she would fall asleep in time after eating.
"After a meal, lie down and grow some weight.”Lin Mo teased Daiyu, saying that she would turn into a little pig if she continued to eat like this.
Daiyu refused." Father, look at Brother.”
Lin Ruhai laughed out loud. Ever since Jia Min passed away, he didn't know how long it had been since he had been so happy. Such days were simply too beautiful.
Baochai was like a fish in water in the Jia residence. She had won the Jia residence's unanimous praise by virtue of her gentle and demure demeanor, her sincerity in treating others, and her generosity.
Although Baoyu regretted that Daiyu couldn't stay by his side for a long time, Baochai's gentle words often made Baoyu forget where he was.
Lady Wang liked her niece very much and had long regarded Baochai as the best candidate for Baoyu's wife.
Grandmother Jia had always been fond of Daiyu. Later, when she saw Lin Ruhai enter the capital to be a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, Daiyu was young and had no other thoughts about Baoyu. Daiyu, I really don't have such thoughts. In addition, Lin Mo was very difficult to deal with, so he gave up on this thought and turned to Xiang Yun.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were secretly quarreling with each other. Baoyu was so happy that Baochai and Xiangyun surrounded him. Sometimes, he was secretly jealous and felt very proud.
Baoyu sometimes wished that Daiyu would always be by his side. That way, he wouldn't change it even if he was given an immortal.
Not to mention how chaotic the Jia residence was, Lin Mo had already started to buy a shop to open. After Lin Ruhai learned about it, he told Lin Mo that the Lin family had many businesses in the capital, including a pharmacy.
Lin Mo was overjoyed. He looked at Lin Ruhai eagerly. Lin Ruhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid was usually serious and didn't show his emotions. He only showed a little childish temperament for the sake of a medicine shop.
Lin Ruhai explained that there were people in charge of these shops. On the surface, they were not from the Lin family in order to prevent the emperor from getting suspicious.
Seeing how cautious Lin Ruhai was, Lin Mo felt that officialdom was extremely dangerous. With his modern thinking, he would be killed soon, so he was even more unwilling to be an official.
Lin Ruhai saw that Lin Mo was determined to do business, so he decided to think about it for many days. Then, he thought about how he had been an official for half his life and was loyal. Even so, he had to be extremely cautious when dealing with people.
In his heart, he also felt that being an official was actually a difficult thing, so he tacitly agreed to Lin Mo's request.
Lin Ruhai immediately took out the Lin family's token and handed the Lin family's medicine shop in the capital to Lin Mo to manage.
The next day, Lin Mo went alone. When he arrived, he saw that it was not the small medicine shop that Lin Ruhai had mentioned.
They saw three two-story storeys, spacious and bright. There was a large plaque in the middle with the words "Apricot Forest Hundred Herbs Pavilion" written on it. The vertical couplet next to the two wrote: I hope the world is free from disease, why worry about the dust on the shelf.
Lin Mo sighed in his heart that the Lin family was indeed rich. Such a large medicine shop was only one of the many shops of the Lin family.
It was just that Lin Ruhai kept a low profile. It turned out that he only had one daughter, Daiyu, and was not as ostentatious as the four great families.
Lin Mo went in to take a closer look and saw that there were a few tables in the hall. There were three doctors sitting in the hall and a few waiters walking around. On the other side sat the shopkeeper. In front of him was the standard of the shopkeeper, an abacus.
From time to time, people would come in to see a doctor. Lin Mo observed carefully for a while and found that the business was not warm. He guessed that Lin Ruhai did not rely on this to make money.
He walked to the shopkeeper's side and took out the token. The shopkeeper was very surprised. It had been many years since someone had come to the Lin family.
However, the shopkeeper was not a greedy person. He immediately invited Lin Mo into the back hall and asked if he had any instructions.
Lin Mo smiled faintly and said," Shopkeeper, don't worry. I am Lin Ruhai's son, Lin Mo. Since I was young, I loved the art of Qi Huang. Now that I have grown up, I have no interest in official career. Seeing this, my father handed this medicine shop to me to manage.”
" May I know your name, old shopkeeper?" Lin Mo asked politely.
"I dare not, I dare not. This old servant's surname is also Lin, and my name is Lin Cheng. I have followed the Lin family for generations.”The shopkeeper replied respectfully.
" I observed for more than an hour and found that the business of the medicine shop was mediocre. There were many poor people coming and going, and each payment was a few wens. I wonder..."
"Young Master has observed carefully. The medicine shop's business is indeed not good, but it can barely maintain itself.”The old shopkeeper looked ashamed.
" Later on, show me the list of medicinal herbs sold in the shop," Lin Mo instructed." Other than checking the pulse and seeing a doctor, what else do we do?”
The old shopkeeper was a little confused. Since ancient times, medicine shops had only been checking the pulse and giving prescriptions. What else could they do?
Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry. He just asked Lin Cheng to bring him the list of medicinal herbs.
