Liufu.

Liu Rumian sat on the mat like a deflated ball, and the young scholar faced the verdant bamboo forest, the paper fan in his hand shook gently, as if he was thinking about something.

"You, now you know how powerful Lin Mu is, you don't listen to you to honestly learn from the teacher, and now you annoy him, you can't enter his door if you want to." Liu Jiangbai paced back and forth impatiently.

Lin Mu's question is now Liu Rumian has no clue, seeing that the sun is about to set, he is in a hurry, because he is worried that Lin Mu will really not accept it.

"Daddy, don't worry, isn't Rumian just thinking about it? With Ru Mian's intelligence, maybe there will be results tomorrow. After Liu Rumian came back, the topic of the three metal balls quickly spread in the mansion.

It's just that although she said this, she didn't have any confidence in her heart, she was also a well-known talented woman when she was in Lin'an, but she also had no clue in the face of these three metal balls.

"Liufu Yin, can't you guess?" After a long time, the young scholar walked up to Liu Jiangbai, "If you lose, you will also have a dull face." ”

"His Royal Highness King Kang, if the lower officials can guess it, how can they be so anxious to get angry, Lin Mu, this kid has strange words, and the topic he is out of now is so tricky, does His Highness still think that he is a person who sells his reputation and reputation?" Liu Jiangbai shook his head and sighed.

This young scholar is none other than Zhao Ji, the third son of Zhao Ji, an official of the current Chinese Dynasty.

"Even if he learns to be rich and rich, he is inevitably too unruly, and the son of a criminal merchant dares to be disrespectful to His Royal Highness and the son of Fu Yin!" Before Zhao Ji could speak, a Confucian in a black robe with eagle-eyed and pointed faces showed an angry look.

Liu Jiangbai sneered when he heard this, "It's a mediocre talent not to be envied, and Bachelor Chang is still jealous of Lin Mu, which shows that this Lin Mu is really talented." ”

"Jealousy? Is he worthy? The Confucian student, who was called a regular scholar by Liu Jiangbai, looked a little weak.

The corners of Liu Jiangbai's mouth raised, "Since Master Chang couldn't do anything with these three metal balls, he tried his best to slander Lin Mu, isn't this jealousy?" ”

"What Liu Fu Yin said is extremely true, this king would rather be close to an arrogant talent than a deferential mediocre talent." Zhao Ji's tone was flat, but he was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, which made Bachelor Chang's face suddenly embarrassed.

After a pause, he said to Liu Rumian: "Rumian, this king can't guess this question, let's let Lin Mu reveal the answer, otherwise this king won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

"It's too late to admit your mistake to Lin Mu now." Seeing that King Duan also persuaded Liu Rumian, Liu Jiangbai took the opportunity to exert pressure.

Liu Rumian was silent, and it would not be Liu Rumian to admit defeat now, "Your Highness, father, if you can't solve this problem before noon tomorrow, I will personally go to the Lin Mansion to admit my mistake." ”

"You elm head, hey!" Liu Jiang flicked his sleeves, said goodbye to King Duan, and left directly.

In Lin'an, King Duan and Liu Rumian often fool around together, the two are ministers and friends, and they know Liu Rumian's temperament best.

When everyone left, Liu Ruyan squatted down distressedly and straightened her brother's clothes, she said, "Do you want my sister to go to the Lin Mansion to find a true solution to this problem for you?" When the time comes, my sister will beg Lin Mu to open up for you, so that you will not lose face in front of King Duan and your father tomorrow. ”

"Yes, young master, if you can't answer tomorrow in the weaving workshop, this matter will inevitably spread by then." Xiao Luan's expression was a little eager.

Liu Rumian was even more angry, "My dignified seven-foot man wants two female streamers to intercede for me, it's better to let me die." ”

"Who cares about you!" Liu Rumian's attitude made Liu Ruyan a little angry, and pulled Xiao Luan, she walked into the bamboo forest and went to her boudoir.

Xiao Luan looked back with some concern, and she said to Liu Ruyan: "Miss, can't you solve this problem with your intelligence?" ”

Liu Ruyan slowed down her pace and frowned: "The most difficult part of this question is that you must not destroy the paint on the ball, if you can, it is naturally easy to distinguish, but with this requirement, I have no choice, and this Lin Mu doesn't know how to think of this topic." ”

"In the opinion of the slave maid, maybe there is no solution to this topic at all, but Lin Mu used it to bully the young master, what was this Lin Mu like before? Who is not clear? Xiao Luan was indignant.

Liu Ruyan leaned on the fence and propped up her chin, "Father's vision has always been unique, Lin Mu can't pass him without real talent and learning, this person is a little incomprehensible." ”

Thinking of Lin Mu's shyness before, and thinking of Lin Mu's ease and ease a few days ago, Liu Ruyan was a little confused for a while.

At the same time, the Lin Mansion.

Unlike the dignified atmosphere of Liufu, it is a place of joy at this time.

The weaving mill worked from morning to night, and the weaving mill produced a thousand pieces of cloth in one day, which if sold for a profit of 100 taels, and this made everyone really feel the horror of the weaving mill.

"Young master, the profit of the weaving mill is so high, the old slave thinks that after selling the cloth this month, he should continue to expand and increase the loom to five hundred, so that the profit of just one weaving workshop can be worth the profit of the current Lin family for a year."

In the front yard, Lin Mu sat in the main seat, and Uncle Zhang, Shan Hu and others sat on both sides and ate dinner.

Generally speaking, in the Hua Dynasty, people and masters can't eat at the same table, but in contemporary times, Lin Mu, who is used to eating with his subordinates, feels that eating alone is a little lonely, so he finally let Uncle Zhang agree to eat together in the Lin Mansion.

But even so, Uncle Zhang still prepared a separate table for Lin Mu to put on the main seat to show Lin Mu's supremacy in the Lin family.

"Dad, you are too cautious, young master, in the opinion of a little slave, this weaving workshop should be expanded to at least a thousand looms, how can there be a reason not to make money with silver, do you say it is a single tiger?" Zhang Yang kicked a single tiger when he gnawed on meat bones.

"Delicious!" Shan Hu was concentrating on eating a large piece of boiled meat, and he didn't hear what Zhang Yang said at all, so he replied randomly.

"White asked." Zhang Yang rolled his eyes.

Lin Mu looked at Zhang Yang who was making trouble at this time, and he asked with a straight face: "Zhang Yang, how is the cloth merchant you contacted?" ”

When it came to business, Zhang Yang immediately put away the appearance of hanging Erlang, and he replied: "Young master, the cloth merchants and slaves in Jiangning City have all run away, and most of them buy goods from the Liu family, and they are not interested in our cloth. ”

Lin Mu sneered, "If you go for another trip tomorrow, you will say that the quality of our cloth is not inferior to the Liu family's cloth, and the Liu family's cloth sells for 220 wen per horse, and our cloth is sold for 150 wen!" ”

"One hundred and fifty wen? That's too low. Uncle Zhang exclaimed.

Lin Mu said with a smile: "At present, our cloth does not have any market, and only by using dumping can we open the market!" ”
