Chapter 130: The Third Master of the Lin Family
In the study room of the Marquis Huicheng Mansion in the capital, a middle-aged man of forty-seven or eighteen years old wearing a navy blue brocade robe sat on the main seat, listening to the report of the people below. "Master Hou, there is a lot of polished rice left in the palace this year, the slave went to inquire, a batch of special white rice came to the Muyue Commercial Bank, the emperor likes to eat it very much, and most of the rice in the palace this year has been taken by the Muyue Commercial Bank."
"Muyue Firm? They don't seem to have been involved in this business before, right? The middle-aged man was holding his beard, not knowing what to think. Yes, it's just that this year they got a batch of high-grade watermelons, and the sales are quite hot, and many dignitaries and nobles have gone to grab them, but that's not the best, I heard that the best ones are not available on the market. Then the man added, "It seems that the sweetness has been paid, and the harvest that is not in the autumn has only come down, and they have started first." ”
"That's a special watermelon, the emperor has rewarded it, I have eaten it, it is very good." The middle-aged man said slowly, "Can't we the trading houses below find this kind of supply?" "Master Bing, the little one once tried to find the source of the Muyue Trading House, but all the caravans they went to were not the origin of watermelons, and I asked the little one to give them another period of time." The small ones will definitely figure it out. ”
"I didn't wait for you to figure it out, this source of goods has already been said to be in the hands of Muyue Commercial Bank." The middle-aged man's words frightened the man and shuddered, "The little one will be found as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, they're going to be hiding a lot. You make your men more attentive. If the volume of Muyue Commercial Bank is larger next year, then the share in the palace will have nothing to do with us, do you know the way? The middle-aged man's voice was not loud. But the man below was scared into a cold sweat when he heard it. "Yes, little one understands. The little one retired first. "Well, go ahead."
The man came out of the back door of the Hou Mansion of Hui'an, got into the carriage and drove directly to Zhao Ji Rice Shop, the largest rice shop in the city on East Street, "The shopkeeper." As soon as the man got out of the car, he walked into the rice shop with his chest held high, and never grovelled in the Hui'an Hou Mansion again. Well. How is it in the store? "Everything is fine in the store." A young man in Tsing Yi politely stepped forward to greet the shopkeeper Zhao. "Is there any movement in the Muyue Trading Company?" Shopkeeper Zhao asked. "He's got a weird stuff in his house." The young man thought for a moment and said. "What's there?"
"It's like red beans, mung beans, potatoes and so on." The young man paused for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper, the little one has only heard of red beans and mung beans, what is this potato?" "Did they say what the potatoes were for?" Shopkeeper Zhao's face was a little bad, what new things did this Muyue Commercial Bank come up with? "I heard that it can be eaten as a meal, and it can be eaten as a dish. It's just that no one has eaten it. There are very few people who don't buy it, and there are a lot of people who see it, humming, and calling them to be scared. There's a good show to watch now. The young man gloated.
"I've heard of potatoes. It seems that last year there was a batch of food notes. Although some of them were sold, I heard that some people vomited and leaked for a long time after eating them, and they also lost a lot of money. But not many people know about it. After Shopkeeper Zhao said these words, the young man immediately understood what he meant, turned around and left.
Lin Mansion is located in the east of the capital of the city, where most of the princes and nobles live, the old man Lin in the court in an important position, is the head of the household, it seems that not as noble as those princes and princes, but it is indeed the court's ministers. Many people want to follow the path of the Lin family and seek a way to get promoted and make a fortune. Among them is also Dr. Zhang's second son Zhang Weize, but he didn't succeed.
In a mansion in the Lin Mansion, it is the place where the third master of the Lin family, Lin Shurui's family, lives, and his main wife Zhao is the daughter of Zhao Cheng, the Marquis of Huicheng, and the two of them are in the study at this time, "Third master, I heard that the tribute rice in the palace this year was purchased from the Muyue Commercial Bank?" They are not small in the courage of a small business house, and they dare to interfere with the food of the nobles in the palace. "Zhao is only twenty-six or seven years old this year, it is the most beautiful period of a woman, both the innocence of a girl, and the charm of a woman, and Zhao's maintenance is very good, if you don't know her real age, you still think she is only twenty years old.
"This is the decision of the palace, and the Muyue Commercial Bank does not dare to disobey. You tell your father-in-law not to worry, they don't have much of this kind of rice, and the big head is still with the father-in-law. "Lin Shurui heard what the Zhao family meant, but his relationship with the Yue family has always been very good, so he is willing to explain it to her." I see. But it's really strange, they first sold a batch of special watermelons, which was really popular, and now they have brought special white rice, I really don't know how this Muyue Commercial House can have such a ability, can find this kind of good thing, and enter the eyes of the palace. Zhao asked her husband tentatively, although Lin Shurui's official position was not high, he was an official of the Shaoqing Zheng Wupin of Guanglu Temple, and this kind of thing happened to be within his jurisdiction.
"I heard that I just had a meal in King Qi's mansion, so the emperor directly ordered that as long as Muyue Commercial Bank entered this kind of rice, it would be sent to the palace immediately. Some people at the bottom have asked where they got these rice, but Muyue Trading Company is not a fool, how can they say it? Lin Shurui took a sip of tea, "Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will tell you if there is news." ”
"Thank you, Third Master," Zhao saluted him, stood up and continued, "You also know that my mother's brothers are not angry, and my father is heartbroken for this, but fortunately there are some ancestral properties, so he will trouble his husband so much." "I know the way for my husband, so I will also help my father-in-law, don't worry." Lin Shurui gently took Zhao's hand, "Even if it is for you, I will do my best." "I hate it, it's all the old husband and wife, the third master, you are still so unserious." Zhao pulled out his hand in shame and patted it lightly on Lin Shurui's chest.
"You're still the same as your husband was when he first met you." Lin Shurui's love words made Zhao blush, and he wanted to hit him, but Lin Shurui grabbed his hand again and pulled her into his arms. Zhao struggled gently, "Third master, let people see how to see the concubine, let go quickly." This is the study. ”
Lin Shurui hugged her for a while and let go, "Fortunately, it's in the study, I won't let you go so easily next time." Although the Zhao family has already given birth to three children, when he heard this, his face couldn't help but have a fever, "Third master, if you let the old man know what you say, you will hate me even more, it's finally better now, don't anger his old man anymore." Lin Shurui immediately calmed down when he mentioned this, "It's been a long time, and the woman has already remarried, and my father is still holding on." Lin Shurui slammed the table hatefully, "I wronged you." He helped Zhao sit on a chair beside him.
"The third master is good to the concubine, the concubine has always been firmly in my heart, there is no grievance or grievance, and since I have those three children, the old man has now slowly accepted me, the concubine is already very satisfied, the third master must not blame himself for this, I will not be happy." Zhao's gentle voice slowly seeped into Lin Shurui's heart and grabbed him tightly.
Listening to Zhao's words, Lin Shurui felt that his father was a little excessive, how could the empathetic Zhao not be able to get into his eyes, so he felt guilty and pitiful to Zhao. Zhao looked at Lin Shurui's thoughtful appearance, and was secretly angry in his heart, he had been married in for almost ten years, and the old man was still lukewarm to her, where was she worse than the woman in the Wang family, not to mention, Wang Yaqin's woman had already married to Jiangnan, and even the daughter she gave birth to had already been sent away, and no one even knew where she was now, and he had already given birth to three children for Lin Shurui, why couldn't he get into the eyes of the old man? No matter how she said it, she was also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, much more noble than Wang Yaqin, who was born in a bachelor's family of the Hanlin Academy.
Lin Shurui patted her hand, "Don't talk about this, let's go see the children." After saying that, the two went to the courtyard of the three children.
"Dad, mother, why are you here?" A little girl about eight or nine years old wearing a goose yellow brocade dress saw Lin Shurui and Zhao who came over together, and pounced on Lin Shurui. Lin Shurui took advantage of the situation and hugged her. Gently pinched her little nose with her hand, "Do we Xue'er miss Daddy?" "Of course I think about it, more than my brothers think." The little girl puffed her nose and said arrogantly.
"Alright, let's put her down." Zhao gently pulled Lin Shurui's arm, "You are so big, and you still let your father hug you, are you ashamed?" Zhao wiped the sweat on his daughter's forehead with a handkerchief, "Why are you sweating like this, hurry up and wipe it, and then change your clothes, if you suffer from the wind and cold, you will have to take bitter medicine." "Dad, you wait for me, I'll go change my clothes, and you can play with me when I come back."
Seeing his daughter walking away quickly, Zhao smiled helplessly and complained to Lin Shurui, "It's because the third master is too used to her, so she is so big and small." "It's good for my daughter to be like this, I see, no one's family is as popular as our family's Xue'er." Zhao ignored Lin Shurui's self-selling boasting, took the lead and walked towards the room of the two sons, and asked the people in the courtyard by the way, "What are the two young masters doing?" ”
"Madam, the eldest young master is studying, and the second young master is sleeping." Someone next to him replied. "Still studying?" Zhao was a little relieved and a little distressed, in order to please the old man, the little child was enlightened early, and from time to time he did not endorse and write, which made her very distressed as a mother. "It's a good thing that Bo'er is ambitious, you don't want him to just play around." Although Lin Shurui also feels sorry for his son, he is a man after all, and he came over like this.
Thanks to shannee for the peace charm. (To be continued......)
