Chapter 232: The house is full of friends, and the guests are like clouds
Feng Chengcheng gave birth to a baby boy, and the mother and child were safe.
This is the first boy of the next generation of the Lin family, in this patriarchal, advocating the inheritance of the lineage, the Lin family attaches great importance to it, and even the old lady of the Lin family, who is in Wuxi's hometown, also rushed to Shanghai after getting the news.
Lin Xitai is nearly 70 years old and has worked hard in the Shanghai business community for many years and is quite prestigious.
When he was 60 years old, he handed over the family business to his three sons, returned to his hometown in Wuxi, and concentrated on charity, building schools for his hometown, helping the poor, and repairing bridges and roads.
A few years later, he became a famous squire in Wuxi.
According to him, in the early years of business, he did a lot of unscrupulous things for the sake of profit, but now he is just seeking peace of mind and making up for his mistakes.
Nowadays, the Lin family is becoming more and more prosperous.
The most important thing is that a literary genius like Lin Zixuan appeared in a merchant family, which is undoubtedly a sign of the prosperity of the Lin family.
This is an opportunity to transform from a merchant family to a scholarly family, and the social status of the Lin family will also improve.
In this era, after the wealthy merchant family has wealth, they will train the next generation to enter the officialdom, and no matter how poor they are, they will become scholars and glorify the lintel, because the social status of merchants in feudal society is extremely low.
With the introduction of Western ideas, Chinese society began to focus on business, but in the traditional view, studying and becoming an official is the right way.
Lin Xitai attaches great importance to Lin Zixuan, so he came to Shanghai without hesitation.
Speaking of which, this is considered four generations in the same house.
The rise of a family requires generations of continuous hard work, and Lin Xitai remembers that he came to Shanghai alone, starting as an apprentice in a money bank. Decades have passed, and the family has finally taken root in Shanghai.
These days. There was an endless stream of guests from the Lin family, all of whom came to say goodbye.
There are old friends from his time. There are high-ranking officials and nobles in the political and business circles, Western dignitaries in the concession, celebrities in the literary world, and people on the sea who are mixed with the rivers and lakes.
Full of friends, guests like clouds!
This is to describe the scene when a family is prosperous, and the Lin family at this time has such an atmosphere.
Lin Xitai knew in his heart that the Lin family and those real wealthy families could not be compared, but he was content to be able to see this scene in his lifetime. What's more, the Lin family will continue to prosper.
This is just the beginning, and he firmly believes in it.
Lin Zixuan didn't expect to be so tired when he had a child, not because he was tired of taking care of the child, but because he was tired of greeting guests.
The child has just been born, but he doesn't need to worry about it, there is a servant who will take care of it.
As the father of the child, he was responsible for greeting the guests who came to congratulate him, many of whom were his elders, and were of the same generation as his grandfather. The etiquette should be thoughtful and not slack.
He has never interfered in the family business, only circled in his own circle, and only knew a rough idea. I don't know much about business dealings.
This time, he really understood the Lin family's status in the Shanghai business community, and he had underestimated the Lin family's influence before.
Among the many guests of Doki. Many of them came for Feng Jingyao's face, including Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li.
After a year of hard work. The two became famous in the French Concession and became Feng Jingyao's protégés.
And. They successfully opened the door in the public concession and expanded the business of big tobacco to the public concession, which increased Feng Jingyao's income a lot and won Feng Jingyao's trust.
Lin Zixuan is not ignorant of this.
Last time Ding Li smashed a newspaper for Meng Xiaodong, he already knew the existence of these two people, and he took advantage of this reason to ask Uncle Xiang about the origin of the two, which was similar to what he remembered.
This is really the world of "Shanghai Tang", but it has been changed by him Lin Zixuan.
Do you want to remind Feng Jingyao to be careful of Xu Wenqiang?
Lin Zixuan thought about this problem, but in the end he didn't do it, at this time, Feng Jingyao trusted Xu Wenqiang very much, he was sowing discord, if Feng Jingyao didn't believe it, he would be a villain in vain.
Second, the plot has changed, maybe there will be a different result, let's see.
Xu Wenqiang's personality is a bit awkward.
He is a top student at Yenching University, a patriotic student, who spent three years in prison for organizing a march, and after being released from prison, he was so disappointed in the world that he was determined to abandon the past and do whatever it took to live.
But when he saw Feng Jingyao colluding with the Japanese, he was patriotic and did not carry out Feng Jingyao's orders, so he was chased and killed by Feng Jingyao, and the two turned against each other.
Now under the influence of Lin Zixuan, Feng Jingyao basically has no business dealings with the Japanese, and the situation has changed.
Of course, he will keep an eye on this matter at all times in case something unexpected happens.
For Ding Li, Lin Zixuan didn't dare to underestimate him.
In the TV series, Ding Li is the big guy on the beach in the thirties, although he looks more like a little follower at the moment.
"Mr. Lin, I'm just a fan of Miss Meng, what happened last time was that I was too impulsive, Brother Wen scolded me, don't take it to heart." Ding Li explained nervously.
"It's all in the past, you guys go in and sit." Lin Zixuan greeted politely.
When Lin Zixuan left, Ding Li was a little confused.
"Brother Wen, did you say Mr. Lin minded?" Ding Li wondered.
"You, just say a few words of joy on such an occasion, what to mention Miss Meng." Xu Wenqiang said helplessly, "Originally, he might not mind, but now I'm afraid he will." ”
"Ah, what then? I'm just trying to get things out of the way. Ding Li said worriedly.
"Okay, he doesn't look like a stingy person, with Mr. Feng here, he won't be good." Xu Wenqiang comforted, "Maybe he will forget you when he turns around." ”
Of course, Lin Zixuan will not forget Ding Li, in his memory, this person can be regarded as a loving and righteous person.
This kind of busy days lasted for more than ten days, he never felt so tired, it is said that the child has to hold a full moon wine and a 100-day banquet, it is really not a parent, I don't know how tired the parents are.
The child's name was chosen by the head of the family, Lim Hee Tae.
The Lin family's generation is the generation of "wisdom", and he hopes that this child can grow up healthily, so he is called Lin Zhijian.
Lin Zixuan didn't think it was good, but he didn't dare to refute it.
Then he was relieved, because he remembered a sentence in later generations, people are invincible, and children who can be called "Zhijian" grow up to be invincible.
He wasn't worried about anything else, the only thing he was worried about was that the kid was also a traverser.
In later generations, when he read online articles, he hated novels that were double-worn and multi-wearing, and there was no point.
Through this kind of thing, it is enough to have me.
To this end, Lin Zixuan did an experiment.
He quietly whispered a passage of Guo Degang's "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" in the child's ear to test the child's reaction.
After speaking, he was so happy that the child was not happy, but began to cry.
It seems that he is not a traverser, even if he is a traverser, he is not a traverser of the same era as him, maybe a traverser from another world, otherwise it would be impossible to cry so sadly after listening to Guo Degang's cross talk. (To be continued.) )
