Lin Mu walked around and returned to the yard, and Aunt Zhang's mutton soup was also boiled.

sent Zhang Yang to call Xiao Ke and Nu Nu to the front yard to eat, he directly brought a bowl of mutton soup and soaked it with the steamed buns that Zhang Yang bought.

While eating, he talked to Uncle Zhang about Liufu.

"Young master, the old slave wanted to tell you about this matter yesterday, but he forgot about it when he was busy." Uncle Zhang was a little worried that Lin Mu would be angry, and the Liu family was a little special to Lin Mu.

"It's okay, I'll just ask, but this is a coincidence, and it will be much easier for the two families to communicate in the future."

Lin Mu didn't blame Uncle Zhang, since the Lin family had an accident, the predecessor Lin Mu basically didn't ask about the world, he had never visited the Liu family, so he naturally didn't know where the Liu Mansion was.

"Coming and going? The young master is not ......" Uncle Zhang looked like he had seen a ghost.

Lin Mu knew that Uncle Zhang wanted to talk about Liu Ruyan, but he was not Lin Mu, the predecessor of the sullen man.

Liu Ruyan is also a beauty to him, and the creature of beauty is everywhere in the contemporary media, he is usually tired of seeing crooked breasts, and he will not immediately be interested in beauty in ancient costumes.

Besides, he has been crawling in the sales field all the year round, he has long forgotten what his face is, not to mention that he has no feelings for Liu Ruyan, even if he has his instinct, he will take the initiative, never twist and pinch, and it is not his style to wait for the rabbit.

"For the sake of the Lin family, Young Master Ben would rather not have this face." Lin Mu was righteous and awe-inspiring, "Besides, our weaving workshop must pass the government's review, Liufu Yin and our Lin family have a relationship, we don't ask Lin Mansion Yin to give convenience, but we don't want to be troubled by the officials of Jiangning Mansion." ”

Uncle Zhang used to follow Lin Mu's father to go around, so he naturally knew that businessmen had no backers in the government, and that was a piece of fat that anyone could take a bite of.

The Lin family was deeply involved in the military supply case this time because there was no one in the court, and the fake basin was deducted from the Lin family.

"The old slave is going to buy a jar of good wine, this Liufu Yin is only good for wine and poetry." Uncle Zhang got up and was about to go out.

Lin Mu stopped Uncle Zhang, "It's been a year since Liufu Yin arrived in Jiangning, and I haven't drunk any wine in this city." “

"That's true, but it's not appropriate to visit empty-handed after all."

Lin Mu smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry about this matter, Uncle Zhang, in addition to learning a lot of things from Western scholars in the past six months, I also used the gold and silver left by my father to buy a lot of things from Western merchants." “

"And such good things." Uncle Zhang became happy, "Now the old slave is at ease, I don't know where the young master put these things, it is better to move them back and put them in the secret pavilion." ”

The secret cabinet mentioned by Zhang Bo was a cellar under his bedroom, which was used by large families to store valuables.

"What Uncle Zhang said is, but these items are stored in different places by me, and some of them are at the Jiangning wharf, so I will go to the wharf today to transport the things back in Jiangning." Lin Mu thought for a while and told a lie once and for all.

In the future, he will definitely take out a lot of things from the space, if there is no good reason to be suspicious, now he said that he bought a lot of things from Western caravans, and stored them in warehouses in different places, which can perfectly explain the source of his things.

And by falsely claiming to transport some of the things back to the Secret Pavilion, he will no longer have any scruples every time he takes something, and others will only think that he took it from the Secret Cabinet.

"Yes, young master, the old slave will clean up the secret pavilion now." Uncle Zhang was overjoyed, he didn't doubt Lin Mu's words at all.

After breakfast, Lin Mu and Shan Hu went to Jiangning Wharf, and opened Shan Hu at the wharf, he bought a lot of empty wooden boxes, and spent money to find someone else to transport them back, so that no one knew what was in the box.

Back at the Lin Mansion, Lin Mu didn't ask Zhang Bo and Zhang Yang to help, and only asked the coolies who transported the goods to move the boxes to the secret pavilion.

Uncle Zhang couldn't close his mouth happily when he saw so many boxes, "The master is wise, and the foundation of the Lin family has not been eaten by those dog officials after all." ”

Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief and praised his trick of hiding from the world and crossing the sea.

The person who transported the goods left, and Uncle Zhang gave Lin Mu the key to the Secret Pavilion, and from then on, no one could enter the Secret Pavilion without Lin Mu's permission.

With the perfect excuse, Lin Mu entered the city and came out with two bottles of Moutai packaged in porcelain bottles.

As Uncle Zhang said, Liu Jiangbai's favorite is fine wine, and it is said that he was demoted to Jiangning this time because he drank in Lin'an and was impeached by Taiwan.

However, for the officials of the Chinese Dynasty, drinking and mistaking things are just a trivial matter, and after a year or two of introspection abroad, the officials will basically be reinstated.

With the gifts, Lin Mu was ready to do business, and when it was almost noon, he and Shan Hu went out, and they arrived at Liufu in a turn.

After clarifying his intentions, the doorkeeper of Liufu reported inward, and after a while, a round butler walked out with a humble expression.

"Master Lin, sir, please."

The attitude of the housekeeper of Liufu allowed Lin Mu to deduce Liu Baijiang's attitude towards him, and he suddenly had confidence in this visit.

Following the housekeeper into the Liufu, Lin Mu was immediately attracted by the bamboo in the garden, and they came to the main hall along the stone path in the middle of the bamboo forest.

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a white scholar was sitting on a mat and waiting for him.

"Lin Mu has seen Uncle Liu." As soon as he exited, Lin Mu deliberately drew the relationship closer.

Liu Baijiang stood up, looked at Lin Mu, and suddenly felt a little sad, "Virtuous nephew, you are finally willing to come." ”

Lin Mu looked at Liu Baijiang at this time, the middle-aged man in front of him was not only white, but also had a Chinese face, fat ears, and a blessed appearance.

"In the past, the little nephew was not sensible, and I hope that my uncle will forgive me."

Liu Jiangbai came to Lin Mu, looked up and down, and was slightly satisfied, "You and your father were really the same when they were young, come, sit." ”

After that, Liu Jiangbai pulled Lin Mu to sit down on the mat.

Lin Mu took the opportunity to take out two bottles of Moutai and put them on the low table on the mat, "Uncle, this is a little bit of my nephew's heart." ”

Seeing the two exquisite porcelain vases, Liu Jiangbai's eyes showed a touch of amazement, but he still shirked and said: "Virtuous nephew, you are in such a situation now, how can your uncle still let you break the bank, take it back, bring it back." ”

Lin Mu expected Liu Jiangbai to reply like this, he said: "Uncle misunderstood, although my Lin family was confiscated, but my father took precautions to leave a fortune for his nephew, and now my nephew is not in a situation where he is ......overstretched", and talked eloquently, Lin Mu also told Liu Jiangbai about the Western caravan he had weaved.

"Western scholars?" Liu Jiangbai was suddenly full of interest, "I didn't expect the virtuous nephew to have this opportunity, I don't know what the virtuous nephew learned from this Western scholar?" ”

"Why does my uncle care so much about Western studies?" Lin Mu frowned.

Mentioning this, Liu Jiangbai showed a look of indignation, and he said: "How does the virtuous nephew view today's state affairs? ”
