Lin Jinrong returned to the house, and Mrs. Tao sent someone to look for her. She couldn't help but blame him: "I also said that I would help your sister. In the blink of an eye, you disappeared and I couldn't find you when I was eating. Isn't this a disservice? You ran away.
Where have you gone?"
Seeing that all the female relatives of the Wu family were there, Lin Jinrong whispered: "He felt uncomfortable when he met his uncle, so he sat with him in his aunt's room for a while." After the death of the Wu family, the relationship between the Tao family and the Wu family will not be stable in the future.
If you avoid it, you will gradually become unfamiliar with each other, but let them know what you should know, so that the friendship may last longer.
Sure enough, Yang and others were moved. They all said that Tao Shunqin was a man of long-lasting love. He also said to Mrs. Tao and Lin Jinrong: "There are some things that we should not say to my aunt. You are brothers and sisters, uncles and nephews. Please give him more advice."
, people cannot be resurrected after death, so you have to think openly."
While they were talking to Mrs. Tao, Lin Jinrong asked a girl to lead the way and went to the front to find Lin Jinyin: "I just told my uncle that he is willing to let me help you. We are sisters, don't think it's troublesome.
I think we can't stay here too long. You can take a rest if you can, and you'll be busy later."
Tao Shunqin spoke, and Lin Jinrong was indeed different in the past two years. Lin Jinyin thought for a while and said: "Well, you can take care of the food and accommodation of the distant guests for me. In addition to the Lin, Wu, and Lu families, there are also
Some of them are business acquaintances. Although they are not high-ranking, it is really not easy for them to come all the way, so we cannot neglect them."
To put it bluntly, he is a real businessman, a businessman who is not respected by the scholarly family or the official family. Lin Jinrong really likes this job. She is very happy to be able to get to know a few more people, especially those who are doing business. Such an opportunity is great
She couldn't ask for anything. She agreed without thinking: "I will do my best to take good care of them." What she wanted to know most was the man who took Lin Shiquan to transport grain to the northern border and then went to pick it up.
The family members of a merchant named Mei who exchanged salt for money.
Lin Jinyin smiled slightly and gently stroked her face: "I know, sister believes in you."
So Lin Jinrong was introduced by Lin Jinyin to the female relatives of those families. There were grain merchants, cloth merchants, gold and silver shops, and perfumers. Unfortunately, there were no family members of the big businessman named Mei.
. She couldn't help but ask Lin Jinyin, and Lin Jinyin laughed: "The Mei family is from the capital, how can the female family come? Mr. Mei is here, but he doesn't live in my house. He has his own house in Qingzhou."
"
Lin Jinrong suppressed his disappointment and got up early the next day. With the help of Mrs. Song, he tried his best to arrange the food, drink and accommodation for the distant guests in an orderly manner. He also treated the family members of the merchants very appropriately.
Mr. Tao and others watched, feeling very comforted.
On the twelfth day after arriving in Qingzhou, Lin Shiquan sent a letter saying that he had found a buyer for the batch of cloves and woody incense, and the price was about half a percent lower than what was on the market. Since she was not here, he made the decision himself.
After selling, the other party promised to buy from them next time.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but smile softly after reading the letter. In the first step, she walked over steadily, and in the second and third steps, she also walked over confidently and steadily. Next, she should do something
The rest will wait.

It has entered autumn, but there is no sign of the temperature dropping at all. The sun is still shining brightly in the sky, making the trees and flowers in the yard wilted. The cicadas are chirping feebly on the trees. Mr. Lu is in a good mood.
Sitting in front of the carefully trimmed golden chrysanthemums in the corridor, Fan Bao, the head steward of the Lu family, who was as lean as a monkey, stood aside, holding his breath and half-lowering his eyes, motionless.
After a long time, Mr. Lu put down the scissors in his hand, looked at the chrysanthemums in front of him with satisfaction, raised his hand to tease the hanging bird beside him, and said, "So, what Lin Shiquan sold this time was woody incense and lilac?"
Hearing his question, Fan Bao's fish-like eyes suddenly became lively, he stood up straight and said loudly: "Yes, I found out clearly from my inquiry that the buyer is a businessman from the south of the Yangtze River, surnamed Tian. I can't tell the specific price, but
I can see that I am very satisfied.”
Mr. Lu smiled slightly: "Keep staring."
Fan Bao responded: "Yes." Just as he was about to leave, he heard Mrs. Lu say in a deep voice: "Only you and I know about this matter. Don't let others know about it. Do you understand?"
Fan Bao straightened his expression, solemnly agreed, and stepped back carefully.
Mr. Lu stood up and washed his hands in the copper basin brought by the boy. He took the tea cup and walked slowly along the corridor twice. He asked the boy: "When will the second young master come back?"
The boy lowered his hands and replied: "About the end of the month."
Mr. Lu waved his hand towards the young man: "Go and invite the second master."
Not long after, Lu Jianzhong rushed to Jixian Pavilion at a trot. He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat on his face, but first saluted Mr. Lu and said hello: "Dad, what are your orders?"
Mr. Lu raised his eyes and looked at the green courtyard, and said calmly: "I heard that Taiming Mansion is going to upgrade. I was thinking, should the saline-alkali land in our hands be allowed to rise? Just leave it like this. I can't
It’s such a waste to grow crops!”
Lu Jianzhong's eyes lit up: "But this matter is not our family's business."
Mr. Lu nodded: "That's why I asked you to come. Ask the Lin family, the Wu family, and a few other people who have bought land, what are their plans? When the new leader takes office, he has to burn three fires. They
Do you want to light this fire on this?" If you want to burn it and get benefits, you have to gather people to persuade the new appointee to be promoted.
Lu Jian Center understood: "My son will get it. What about Qingzhou? It would be easier to have more talents. Should we let Lu Shao..."
Old Mrs. Lu interrupted him nonchalantly and said, "Isn't Lu Yan just over there? Everyone in the Tao family is familiar there, and with this relationship, it would be best for him to come forward."
Lu Jianzhong was silent for a moment, and said with some worry: "But Erlang is young and concentrates on studying on weekdays and has never done such mundane things. The Tao family is also experiencing a new funeral. I am afraid that he will not have the energy or mood to help facilitate this matter. Lu Shao has been doing this all year round.
When traveling to Qingzhou, he is very familiar with the people there, so let him go."
"What common things?" Mr. Lu said solemnly: "He is the eldest son of the eldest son! Why can't he learn it? Studying is important, but also understanding the ways of the world! Can he still rely on you and Lu Shao for the rest of his life? Let him
Learn! Don’t spoil him! This is just a trivial matter. If he can’t even do this well, what else can I expect from him?”
Lu Jianzhong's face turned pale, and he returned to normal in an instant. He smiled and said, "Yes, my father taught me that. My son will write to the manager in Qingzhou and ask him to help Erlang get this matter done."
Mr. Lu glanced at him and said calmly: "No, just concentrate on handling the affairs in Pingzhou and I will make arrangements."
Lu Jianzhong lowered his eyes and said obediently: "Yes."
Old Mrs. Lu could see from under his eyebrows that his second son, who had become a grandfather, was fat and pale, with eyebrows as thick as his own. He was not as delicate as his eldest son and his third son, who looked like Mrs. Lu. At this time, the second son
The fat white face had only a submissive expression, and the thick eyebrows drooped, showing no trace of joy. After thinking for a moment, he pointed to the distance not far from Jixian Pavilion and said: "Second brother, look at how well my golden bells are knotted."
?”
Lu Jianzhong looked up and saw a cluster of golden bell chrysanthemums that were more than ten feet high and were tied into a pavilion on the edge of the Taihu Lake not far from Jixian Pavilion. The tops were as bright as gold, and chrysanthemums the size of small lychees had thousands of thin petals clustered into a carpet.
Like, they were crowded together, it was so lively. The brilliant golden color made his eyes hurt a little: "Dad's craftsmanship has improved again. This chrysanthemum building is not a boast of my son, it is definitely the first one in Pingzhou."
"Hehehe..." Mr. Lu stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Second brother, you have been sweeter than your elder brother since you were a child, and you are also smart. Although you can't read well, your father has always loved you.
That kid Lu Shao is just like you, he is also eloquent, smart and capable." Having said this, Mr. Lu lifted his foot off the Ruyi Duo and walked towards the Chrysanthemum Tower.
Lu Jianzhong hurriedly followed him and held his arm: "Dad, the sun is too hot right now."
"I haven't reached that point yet!" Mr. Lu brushed his hand away and pointed at the golden bell chrysanthemum: "This chrysanthemum building will not look like this if one branch is missing. If one branch is missing, it means one is missing. One is missing.
No."
A few beads of sweat broke out on the tip of Lu Jianzhong's nose, and he said aggrievedly: "Thank you dad for your teaching. My son will always remember it and will not let you down."
Mr. Lu glanced back at him and said: "Just remember, Lu Jing is not young now, and Lu Lun, you have to push them hard and let them study well. There must be someone in this family who can support the family."
Just like us, if your eldest brother hadn't been an official outside, we wouldn't be much better than the Lin family!"
Lu Jianzhong said with some embarrassment: "We planned to let Lu Jing take the government examination, but the teacher said that his qualifications are not very good. Lu Lun was so naughty that several of his whips were broken, and he did not show any restraint.
I want to wield swords and guns all day long, my son is really ashamed..."
Old Mrs. Lu sneered: "It's you who are reluctant to teach! Lu Jing's qualifications are not good? He didn't pay attention to it! Lu Lun is stubborn, but you are not indulgent!"
Lu Jianzhong wiped away the cold sweat, his fair and fat face was red and hot under the sun, but he did not dare to defend himself at all.
Mr. Lu sighed and said: "That's all, let Lu Lun come and read with me for two hours every day from tomorrow. If you tell me, anyone who dares to let him and Lu Jing go out will have their legs broken and they will be kicked out."
!Tell Mr. He that if he dares not to study hard, just give him a beating. If he is beaten to death, I will be responsible!"
Lu Jianzhong couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you, dad."
Old Mrs. Lu waved his hand: "The palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, and I feel the same pain. Go down."
Lu Jianzhong left Jixian Pavilion and stood in silence for a moment in the bamboo forest. He took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the sweat from his face, and walked forward with his head lowered.
