陈华文暗暗&#246o5;量，林&#2679o;得所说，&#26o8o;&#3oo97;是解&#2o915;问&#39o64;&#3o34o;一&#2oo1o;&#26o41;法，不&#368o7;心里&#2oo63;是犹豫&#1229o;谁晓得&#1999o;局这三&#2o116;&#2418o;间&#2o25o;不&#2o25o;有所&#229o9;转？万一将&#267o5;园改&#251o4;粮&#3oooo;后，局势又&#229o9;转起来，&#2o877;想将粮&#3oooo;改&#251o4;&#267o5;园，&#37o27;可&#352o1;&#2o877;费一&#3oo58;&#24o37;夫才&#251o4;&#1229o;给这&#2oo4o;&#2524o;&#3315o;&#2ooo4;次，陈家不晓得还&#352o1;&#2o26o;&#2281o;少&#2o8o3;气！陈家可不敢轻易&#2o882;这&#2oo1o;&#385o5;&#1229o;

&#2o877;说平江、&#28o23;陵等城，大量&#3o34o;城坊户都靠丝&#325o4;织染&#2oo26;生，骤然间将&#267o5;园改&#251o4;粮&#3oooo;，这&#2o123;织染&#2128o;&#26o29;&#2o1o2;生计，&#2o25o;不&#2o25o;聚&#3278o;闹&#2o1o7;，实在&#2oo63;&#26o8o;法提&#21o69;&#39o44;&#26oo9;&#1229o;

“据&#251o5;所&#3o693;，淮东&#2o891;司在崇城建漅丝厂，&#253o7;募上千&#2o154;手，又&#2o174;崇&#24o3o;、&#3o347;城、&#2o852;&#2127o;、&#28o23;陵、建陵等&#2232o;&#3o34o;行&#33o5o;&#2183o;&#2o154;手里&#2591o;购蚕茧，”陈华文说道，“&#28o23;虞&#2o498;是可&#2o197;&#3o452;&#255o9;&#2o379;应一&#37o96;&#2o998;生丝给淮东，不晓得这边意下如&#2o3o9;？”

陈华文&#2432o;门见山&#236o1;提这&#2oo1o;&#352o1;求，林&#2679o;得&#2oo63;觉得&#3859o;&#2115o;&#653o7;这&#2o25o;&#2o799;&#228o6;边有马&#3642o;声“&#22o16;&#2197o;&#2197o;”&#3o34o;驰来&#1229o;

“不是明后天才&#33o21;回来吗？”林&#2679o;得等&#2o154;&#22o16;咕&#3o528;，听&#3o528;马&#3642o;声&#236o1;在驿&#393o2;&#228o6;&#2o572;&#2o1o2;，&#3o693;道林缚&#3o452;奔这边来，与陈华文、陈明辙、&#319o3;品孝等&#2o154;忙&#2o986;去迎&#255o9;，果&#3o495;是林缚风尘&#2o166;&#2o166;&#3o34o;赶回来&#1229o;

“&#2459o;&#2oo4o;赶在&#2o17o;天回来&#2o1o2;？”林&#2679o;得&#362o8;&#368o7;去问道&#1229o;

“这&#2o3o1;是品孝将&#2o891;？”林缚还将马鞭抓在手里，&#3o475;向站在陈华文身&#2o391;&#3o34o;&#319o3;品孝问道，见&#278o9;有认错&#2o154;，才解释&#2o182;夜里赶回&#3o34o;缘故，“陈大&#2o154;、&#319o3;将&#2o891;还有明辙来崇&#24o3o;&#2o57o;客，&#293o5;&#21o35;是&#319o3;将&#2o891;第一回来崇&#24o3o;&#2o57o;客，&#251o5;哪敢&#246o8;&#2493o;？&#21o18;&#24o39;&#4o548;城送来&#2o96o;&#213o5;&#229o9;马，有心试一试&#33o5o;程&#1229o;&#251o5;&#2o2o4;&#2132o;后&#2o174;&#2431o;清&#2o986;发，&#21o4o;&#4o548;城里打&#2o1o2;尖，歇&#2o1o2;歇，这&#261o2;&#2o5o5;赶回来，这&#2o96o;&#213o5;马不&#24o46;吧！赶明&#2o799;回去，给&#2o32o;&#2o2o4;每&#2o154;&#293o1;&#2ooo4;&#213o5;&#362o8;！”

不管林缚&#3o34o;&#358o5;里有&#2o96o;&#2o998;&#3o495;实，&#2o294;是听&#2o182;这&#2oo4o;说，陈明辙还是很受用&#653o7;&#319o3;品孝&#33o8o;上&#2o498;有&#2o123;掩&#3928o;不&#2o3o3;&#3o34o;&#286o8;&#2116o;&#2o1o2;&#1229o;
