Chapter Ninety-Three: The future is only in your own hands
Lin Zhao is indeed going to Chang'an, according to Lin Jian's plan, he will leave for Chang'an around the fifth and sixth days of the Lunar New Year.
Because the eldest grandson of the Guozijian sacrificed wine, he was going to leave Chang'an and return to his homeland after the year, and the Guozijian must have a person in charge.
Yuezhou is more than 2,000 miles away from Chang'an, even if the carriages and horses are ready, it will take almost a month to arrive in Chang'an, that is to say, even if you set off after the New Year, when you arrive in Chang'an City, it will already be February.
If it is an ordinary official, after receiving the holy decree of the official, most of them will immediately leave for the capital to wait for their posts, and people like Lin Jian still have leisure to spend the New Year at home, which is already very calm.
In this year, it is very dangerous to go out on the road alone, so if Lin Zhao wants to go to Chang'an, he must go with Lin Jian's convoy, so he can stay in Yuezhou for only half a month.
During this time, Lin Erniang has already packed up all the things that should be brought, because now that the family is rich, these days Lin Erniang took Xie Yuran to the street again and bought a few new clothes for Lin Zhao.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Lin Qingyuan, who was in Yaojiang, finally rushed back to Yuezhou for the New Year, he first stayed in Donghu Town for a day, and then came to Yuezhou City.
Anyway, he is Lin Zhao's father, and he has not treated Lin Zhao much over the years, so although Lin Zhao's side and the Zhang family are actually separated, Lin Qingyuan can still live here with Lin Erniang, and Lin Zhao did not neglect his father, and invited him in in a proper manner.
The family sat down at the dinner table, and Lin Qingyuan, who was sitting on the main seat, first looked at Lin Erniang, and then turned his head to look at his young son, although he had not seen him for half a year, but he felt that he was already a little strange.
After being silent for a while, Lin Qingyuan took the rice bowl, turned his head to look at Lin Zhao, and said, "San Lang...... Are you going to study too much? ”
Lin Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "It's rare to have this opportunity, naturally I want to go to Chang'an City to have a look, will my father be like the eldest mother, let me go to the seventh uncle to intercede with the second brother?" ”
"Naturally not."
Lin Qingyuan shook his head and sighed: "Our family was originally speechless on the master's side, it is not easy for Yuanda to take you to Chang'an to study, how can you still embarrass him, not to mention whether it can be done, even if he really takes the two of you brothers to study in Chang'an, our branch will poke the backbone and scold the Lin family." ”
Compared with Zhang's family, Lin Zhao's father, although his personality is a little soft, is still very reasonable.
A large part of the reason why Lin Zhao's mother and son have suffered a lot of grievances over the years is also because he is away from home all the year round, if he can be in Yuezhou, the life of their mother and son will be much better.
Lin Qingyuan lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of food, and then continued: "Chang'an City is not better than Yuezhou, where dragons and snakes are mixed, after you arrive in Chang'an, you must be honest, don't make trouble for your seventh uncle." ”
"Father, rest assured."
Lin Zhao said with a smile: "My son knows." ”
He looked up at Lin Qingyuan and asked, "Father, do you still want to go to Yaojiang after the New Year?" ”
"I'm going."
Lin Qingyuan said in a deep voice: "Huang County treats me with respect, so naturally I have to start and finish. ”
"My son asked someone."
Lin Zhao said softly: "Yaojiang's Huangxian order, it should be transferred in the autumn of next year, and it will only be half a year now, if you want me to say, my father will not go to Yaojiang next year, and my son has a business in Yuezhou City to take care of, so my father deigned to stay, and by the way, I also helped my son take care of it." ”
Lin Qingyuan's face was a little unbearable, and he said in a low voice: "Nonsense, isn't that father working for you?" ”
"You can't say that."
Lin Zhao swallowed the food in his mouth, put down the chopsticks, and had a smile on his face: "This business was done by my son and Uncle Xie together, and my son will go to Chang'an in a few days, and my father should only help the family take care of the industry." ”
For Xie Sanyuan, Lin Zhao was naturally trustworthy, and the reason why he said this was just to keep Lin Qingyuan in Yuezhou City.
Lin Qingyuan frowned slightly: "What kind of business?" ”
"Hmm...... Probably a compilation. ”
Lin Zhao got up from the dining table, returned to his room and turned out a few story collections, put them in Lin Qingyuan's hand, and said: "This is the story collection of Sanyuan Books this year, and there have been seven books so far, according to my agreement with Uncle Xie, it is fifty-fifty shares, if my father is willing to stay in Yuezhou, this achievement will be left to my father and mother, although it is not very much at present, but ......"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Lin Qingyuan and said in a low voice: "It should be much higher than my father's monthly money on Yao Jiang's side." ”
Now the story collection of Sanyuan Bookstore has invited a reader to be the "editor", but it is not easy for outsiders to use it after all, and next year this story collection will be formalized and become a semi-monthly magazine, so Lin Zhao still wants Lin Qingyuan to stay and help take care of this business.
Lin Qingyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said silently: "After the New Year, I will go to the Xie family's bookstore for my father to have a look." ”
At this time, Lin Erniang on the side finally found a chance to speak, she smiled at Lin Qingyuan and said: "Master, speaking of the Xie family, the eldest girl of the Xie family is very close to San Lang, and the Xie family and his wife also like San Lang very much. ”
Speaking of this, she paused and said, "Wait for Saburo to return from his studies in a few years, and then officially get married." ”
Hearing Lin Erniang's words, Lin Qingyuan frowned.
He looked at Lin Erniang, frowned, and said: "San Lang is about to enter Chang'an, enter Taixue, and will be a student in the future, his identity is very different from before, how can he marry the daughter of a businessman?" ”
"In this matter, don't book it first, I'll go and talk to the Xie family in two days, so as not to mistake other girls."
As a traditional reader, Lin Qingyuan has the most traditional ideas of this era, which is not to say that he is a bad person, but the environment.
Even if Lin Jian is in Lin Qingyuan's position, most of them will say such things.
Lin Erniang looked at Lin Qingyuan and said in a low voice: "Master, San Lang and Miss Xie have an excellent relationship......
"San Lang is only thirteen years old, how can he have a relationship with someone?"
Lin Qingyuan turned his head to look at Lin Zhao, frowned, and said: "Even if there is really any relationship, the two of them have never been married, and the other has never been married, which shows that this Miss Xie ......"
Speaking of this, he shook his head and didn't continue, but said: "In short, this matter is not in a hurry for the time being, and I will talk about it after San Lang comes back from Chang'an. ”
Lin Saburo on the side also lowered his head and frowned.
In this era, many scholars look down on businessmen, which leads to the low political status of businessmen, but Lin Zhao does not have this kind of discrimination, firstly, he does have feelings for Xie Tanran, and secondly, Sanyuan Bookstore now has a lot of industries with unlimited potential, coupled with Xie Sanyuan's diligence, as long as they don't go the wrong way, it won't take a few years, Sanyuan Bookstore will definitely become bigger and become a giant businessman in Yuezhou.
When the time comes, this giant businessman will become a big help behind Lin Zhao.
Putting aside the relationship between Lin Zhao and Xie Zhanran, this help alone, Xie Xiangran is much more important than the daughter of a big official.
Lin Zhao put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked up at Lin Qingyuan, and said softly: "Father, if you want your son to say, you should go to Xie's house and settle this matter first." ”
Lin Qingyuan frowned and looked at his son, and said, "You have to think clearly, if this matter is done, your identity as a father-in-law may affect your future future." ”
"The future is only in your own hands."
Lin Saburo smiled slightly: "It has nothing to do with others." ”
Lin Qingyuan glanced at his young son a few times, and then nodded silently.
"You don't regret it."
