The Spring Festival in the capital has a strong New Year's flavor.

From time to time, there will be a burst of firecrackers in the city, and in front of every house there are Chinese New Year couplets, the ground is covered with red paper of firecrackers, many houses hang red lanterns high, and a group of children in new clothes play in the streets.

Horse-drawn carriages and palanquins in the chessboard streets of the city were constantly coming and going, some people were going outside the city, others were coming into the city, and it seemed that the people of the whole city were busy visiting their relatives.

Lin Haoran took Wu Qiuyu to the south of the city early in the morning, and also joined the army of provincial relatives.

When passing through the mouth of Huaishu Hutong, a large group of officials still gathered in front of the Xu Mansion, even if it is the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is still the most lively mansion in the entire capital.

The carriage seemed to pass in front of the Xu Mansion unimpeded, but no one dared to stop it. After recognizing the owner of the carriage, many officials took the initiative to avoid it, and they also cast envious glances.

When it comes to personal future, there is no one who can compare to this Lin Wenkui. During his special tenure as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, he also let everyone see that Lin Wenkui is not only good at calculation, but also his ability is among the top.

"It's a pity! If he had chosen to marry the Xu family, what a beautiful situation he would have been so far! An obese official watched the carriage leave, but he pretended to regret it not without acid.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and many officials are aware of that past. Lin Haoran once had the opportunity to marry the Xu family, but Lin Haoran chose Wushan's daughter at the beginning, thus missing a "good relationship".

"Exactly, Lin Wenkui is probably already a penitent by now!" Some companions looked at the beautiful carriage and were also full of vinegar, and immediately echoed it.

The voice was not loud or small, and Lin Haoran, who was sitting in the car, faintly heard this argument, but the corners of his mouth were pouting with a trace of disdain.

If it had been placed in the past, he would indeed have felt a trace of regret. It's just that since he saw Xu Jie's hypocritical face clearly, he no longer has the slightest remorse, and even feels a little lucky.

If he hugged Xu Jie's thigh, his career would certainly be able to take fewer detours, and now he doesn't need to worry about Jingcha's affairs, and even has a certain right to speak in Jingcha.

It's just that there are pros and cons to everything. Xu Jie is actually a person who cherishes his reputation very much, as can be seen from his treatment of Xu Fan and Jiang Yuebai, and he will definitely suppress him to a certain extent in order to avoid suspicion.

At the very least, Zhang Juzheng is his preferred heir to Xu Jie, and even if he is his grandson-in-law, especially if he is so young, he will be behind Zhang Juzheng.

If this is the case, then if he wants to become the first assistant, he will naturally have to wait for at least twenty years after Zhang Juzheng, and there is no possibility of this in his life, let alone his reform ideas.

It is precisely because of this that the path he has chosen now is certainly more difficult, but it is important to be able to stand on his own, and to firmly control his own destiny in his own hands.

Wu Qiuyu's ears have always been very sharp, and it was the tilted head that looked at his father-in-law, and his big beautiful eyes closely observed the expression on Lin Haoran's face.

Lin Haoran met her gaze and said a little proudly: "It is said that I, Lin Ruoyu, was stupid back then, Guo Buzhi is the most wise husband, and married a beautiful woman like a flower and jade as a lady!" ”

"Flim Flam!" Wu Qiuyu glanced at him, but his heart was like eating honey.

For such a father-in-law, she is naturally extremely satisfied in her heart, feeling that this is a gift from God.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Wu Mansion, Lin Haoran did not have too much machismo, personally helped Wu Qiuyu off the car, and then walked into the gate of the Wu Mansion together.

"Uncle and Miss are here!"

When the porter saw the two of them appear, the old face immediately burst into a bright smile, and he didn't forget to shout loudly inside.

Knowing that the two had arrived, there was soon movement in the inner house.

Although Wu Shan was greeting the guests, Mrs. Wu personally greeted the door of the hanging flowers.

"The son-in-law greets his mother-in-law for the New Year, and I wish my mother-in-law good health and eternal beauty!" Lin Haoran faced her mother-in-law who took the initiative to greet her, and even if she greeted her in a proper manner.

Mrs. Wu has always been proud of this son-in-law, and her face immediately smiled like a flower: "This child is really good at talking, good, good, everyone's good!" ”

Lin Haoran noticed that Wu Huashou and his wife were courteous to Wu Huashou and his wife, and there was no trace of Shuntianfu Yin's frame on his body, and he was resolutely a younger generation who respected the old and loved the young.

"Niece Qiuyu has seen the third uncle and third aunt, I wish the third uncle and the third aunt a happy Year of the Rat!" Wu Qiuyu greeted his mother after greeting the New Year, and he said New Year's greetings to Wu Huashou and his wife.

Wu Huashou spent the New Year in the capital, and he was also very excited to see Lin Haoran.

With the economic development of Guangdong, Wu Huashou also got a piece of the pie, especially after intervening in the iron products business, he has become the largest iron dealer in Jiangxi.

All of this is due to Lin Haoran in front of him, which makes their entire Wu family full of vitality, and their strength is increasing with the times.

Wu Huashou beckoned to a young man behind him, and patted the young man's arm and ordered: "Kang'er, this is your seventh brother-in-law, quickly kowtow to your seventh brother-in-law to pay New Year's greetings!" ”

"My name is Wu Fukang, and I have a New Year's greeting for my third brother-in-law!" Wu Huashou's son is called Wu Fukang, and in the face of the legendary Lin Haoran, he also obediently kowtowed to Lin Haoran.

"Third uncle, what do you mean by this? Your family doesn't have to be like this, hurry up, this is the benefit that the seventh brother-in-law gave you! Lin Haoran stepped forward to help Wu Fukang up, and handed a red envelope at the same time.

This young man is fifteen or sixteen years old, his face is somewhat similar to Wu Huashou, his body looks thin, his skin is very fair, but he has the appearance of a scholar.

Wu Huashou faced Lin Haoran and said with some embarrassment: "This is my youngest son, he is better than me, Mr. said that he is a good material for reading, and this year I decided to send him to Guozijian to study!" ”

Lin Haoran immediately understood Wu Huashou's intentions, this is a typical Chinese parent who wants his son Jackie Chan. Although Wu Huating's business is very good, he already knows that no matter how rich a businessman is, he is not as good as a non-commissioned officer, so he wants to train his own son.

Now sending people to study in Guozijian is undoubtedly far better than studying hard at home, and even accumulating contacts for entering the officialdom in the future.

Lin Haoran faced Wu Huashou, who looked embarrassed, and said intimately: "Third uncle, Fukang is studying in the capital Guozijian, you don't need to worry too much!" As long as he doesn't take the initiative to make trouble, no one will dare to bully him, otherwise I will definitely make decisions for him! ”
