Chapter 52 The second son looks at the world with a cold eye

"Cousin, you're going to marry the young lady of the Xuezheng family, but you can't play every day like before. I'll go to my father later, and I'll set aside a shop for you to take care of, and if you study hard and do a good job, you can help me share some of the hard work in the future." ”

The little cousin was really proud of the spring breeze that he had never had before. first followed the second cousin out for a trip, and got a lady like a flower, and now the eldest cousin wants to take himself to manage the shop, haha, it's really luck that can't be stopped.

"Big brother, you and second brother are really good to me, even better than my own brother."

"I've always treated you as my own brother."

Two faces, the same full smile, but different meanings. One laughs heartlessly, and the other hides murderous intentions.

At dinner, it was rare for Master Lin to call everyone together and gather in his Ronghua Hall. There was a happy event in the family today, but unfortunately it was Lin Shaorui's adopted son, but it was not his two biological sons.

The Lin family is not a famous family, and no one thinks it is unruly to talk about things while eating.

Today, all the people in the family came, in addition to the lord and the lady, the three little masters, Aunt Xue, Lin Shaoxuan also saw two aunts who were rarely seen. Master Lin was also very romantic when he was young, and there was not only one concubine in the family, but those two were not as favored as Aunt Xue, nor were she as arrogant.

The arrogant Aunt Xue is very honest today, everyone else is sitting, she has to stand aside to serve the old lady with vegetables, until everyone has eaten almost enough, and the lady sends a message to ask her to sit down, and she sits down.

Master Lin has always been strict with his youngest son, and today he is rarely kinder.

"Xuan'er, I've heard some about today's events, you can tell me again."

"Yes, father."

Lin Shaoxuan thought about it, and didn't say anything about the process of getting to know the young lady of the prefect's family, but only highlighted how the little cousin heroically saved people today, and how he was favored by Miss Li, and the eldest lady of the prefect's family was in charge and ordered him to go to propose marriage as soon as possible.

"Well, good! Rui'er, this is also a good intention. Madam, do you think we should go and propose marriage earlier? You can't let that young lady ruin her reputation. ”

When Master Lin said this, he was ready to be made a big fuss by his wife. The eldest son refused to marry, and the younger child was not booked, and was preempted by an adopted son, she will definitely be unhappy in her heart, and I am afraid that she will not be at peace today.

He thought about it, if his wife refused to handle it, he would allocate some more money and hand over the matter to Aunt Xue to go to Zhang Luo herself. Although the face is not so good-looking, it is better than delaying the child's family affairs and offending the prefect and Xuezheng of the city.

"Don't worry, sir, I know this in my heart. Tomorrow, I will prepare a gift and invite an official matchmaker to go with me. Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Shaorui with a dignified smile and kindness, and that appearance startled Master Lin.

"Thank you Mrs. for your hard work, the concubine has nothing to repay, and I am willing to make a pair of embroidered shoes for Mrs. to thank Mrs. for her great kindness."

Aunt Xue stood up, deeply blessed Mrs. Lin, and pulled Lin Shaorui to salute Mrs. Lin, a good scene of harmony between wives and concubines, and filial piety of mothers and sons.

These two have been fighting for half their lives, and Master Lin was very troubled by them, and today I was very comforted to see that they were suddenly able to talk well and stop being noisy. Great, this home is finally clean.

"Well, okay, okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Taking advantage of Master Lin's happiness, Lin Shaohan suddenly stood up.

"Father, our family's business has expanded recently, and my son is a little too busy, so that there are some mistakes and the silver is lost. Now that Brother Xuan is not young, Brother Rui is also going to marry, it is better to ask them all to help in the shop, it is better than the child who can't take care of it alone and makes a mistake. ”

"Well, Xuan'er should not go yet, read a book at home, and ask your mother to help you find a family as soon as possible. As for Rui'er, she is about to get married, and it's really not good to just play around as usual. That's it, Han'er, you take him for a few days first, find something for him to do and learn first. ”

"Yes, father." Lin Shaohan saw that the master still refused to allow Lin Shaoxuan to meddle in the family's business, and he didn't force it, it was enough to have a little cousin.

"Master Xie, Mrs. Xie, Big Brother Xie and Second Brother Xie!" Lin Shaorui is happy today, his mouth has been grinning and can't close, pouring tea and taking snacks, and he is very dog-legged behind the master.

Lin Shaoxuan watched coldly and took a look at the attitudes of these people one by one. Why did the eldest brother ask the little cousin to do things in the shop? Why bring yourself? Is he really trying to win people over? Or is there something else in mind? The old man even let his little cousin go to work in the shop, why still refusing to call himself?

This home is a real mess. Lin Shaoxuan watched them perform the drama of mother, son, filial piety, brotherhood, and brotherhood, and felt that his heart was abnormal, and he just wanted to escape quickly, and stop worrying about these boring people.

It's just right that the master doesn't ask him to go to the shop to do things, and he doesn't want to waste time. This father never pretended to him, and every time they met, he always reprimanded him, and he had no feelings for this old man. Hurry up and find a way to leave, preferably with your mother, so that she can live a few comfortable days.

The old man discussed a few words with his wife about the marriage of his little cousin, and that night he did not go to Aunt Xue's place, but stayed in his wife's room, Mrs. Lin was happy, and she worked harder the next day.

This family affair is different from other people's homes, the matchmaker said that the relatives are just going through a procedure, and the lady simply arranged for a rich gift of eight colors, and ordered someone to make an appointment with the famous official media woman in the city, and said that they would go to the Li Mansion to propose marriage the next day.

As a result, it was doomed as early as the moment when the little cousin jumped into the pond to save people, Lin Shaoxuan naturally no longer paid attention to the process, and he had to go to Renyazi's house with Fu Bo to buy workers to prepare for work.

After waiting for many days, I finally waited for the convicted craftsman who was sold by the government, and there were quite a few people.

There is a construction company in this Hangzhou, which undertook the management of the weaving craftsmen in the city, who knew that there was a division to make a profit from it, and he was greedy for a thousand taels of silver in just three years.

Na Si was directly convicted, and he confiscated his own army and raided his house, and he also harmed some craftsmen who were attached to him, and were sent here to sell.

Fu Bo accompanied Lin Shaoxuan together, picking and choosing, and specially selected the craftsmen who dragged the family to buy a few households, men, women and children, there were always more than 20 people, regardless of whether he originally did carpentry, silverwork or embroidery, as long as he was skillful, and he picked another family that could make wine, and paid three hundred taels of silver, and got the identity deed of those people.

Those artisans were locked up here to sell, and they were originally trembling, thinking that they would have to separate the old and the young, but now they were bought by Lin Shaoxuan together, and they couldn't help but be grateful, and they couldn't help but thank the new owner.

"Okay, don't be afraid, although you are doing things in my house now, you are not going to do any cheap labor, you can work with peace of mind, and my son will not treat you badly."

Lin Shaoxuan put away the deed, asked the guys from the tooth shop to help hire a few carts, and went to buy some covered clothes, and dragged the craftsmen to Zhuangzi in the south of the city.

The house has already been built, but it is allocated according to the situation. He mainly relies on technology to make money, and does not need too many people, and these more than 20 people are enough at present.

Lin Shaoxuan did not return to the city that night, but called the more than 20 people over one by one for questioning. I don't know how many people I interviewed in my previous life, and I have already trained a pair of sharp eyes, and the character, conduct, and characteristics of these people are generally understood in a few words.

Picking out an old and serious craftsman, Lin Shaoxuan ordered him to be the steward of the workshop.

This person's name is Liu Tianbao, he is a bamboo carving, wood carving, originally under the hands of dozens of people, was directly involved by the company to sell here, fortunately the family can be reunited, is already very grateful to Lin Shaoxuan, and now he has been appointed as a steward, allowing him five or two months of silver, naturally a thousand thanks.

"Master, please rest assured, here are all people I knew before, they are all people who know the roots, and the villain will definitely help you manage the workshop well."

"Well, good. You go back to settle down first, take a look around today to familiarize yourself with the environment, and you will have to be idle when you start work in a few days. ”

Lin Shaoxuan sent away Steward Liu, selected two stupid mothers-in-law to be responsible for cooking in the future, and selected a capable woman named Li Yue'e to manage the female workers, and went back to the room to rest.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the big ship of the Lin business empire is ready and about to set sail.

The next day, Lin Shaoxuan woke up to the sound of chirping birds, stretched his waist, and was about to call someone to serve and change clothes, when he suddenly remembered that he didn't have a person around him, so he had to get up and dress and wash by himself.

Dressed neatly, Lin Shaoxuan walked to the outer hall and saw that there were several plates of breakfast on the table, as well as a bowl of steaming wolfberry lotus seed porridge, where the little girl was placing dishes.

"Hey, why are you here?" Lin Shaoxuan asked Xiaoya.

"Hello host, my father is afraid that you will get up early and no one will serve you, so he ordered me to bring breakfast."

I can't see that this simple-looking Ge Zhuangtou is a delicate person.

"You go back first, call your father over after breakfast, and then call your eldest brother too."

Ge Zhuangtou's eldest son is named Ge Dazhu, he has a family, has a two-year-old son, has studied for two years in his early years, and is also very stable, Lin Shaoxuan plans to hand over the task of buying Zhuangzi to him.

After breakfast, Ge Zhuangtou came with his eldest son.

These days, Zhuangzi is opening up wasteland and building houses, Ge Zhuangtou also took advantage of a lot of money, and arranged the old woman and the little girl to be flower farmers, and the life of the family is about to flourish, and the call of the owner is very positive.

Lin Shaoxuan asked him to check the accounts of these days with Fu Bo, and when he saw that they remembered everything, he nodded secretly in his heart. Yes, with these powerful assistants, I will have a lot of peace of mind in the future.

"Ge Zhuangtou, you go and arrange for the flower farmer to pick some roses, and my workshop will use them."

"Brother Ge, please go around the neighborhood these days to see which one has a large flower field, and then ask them if they can supply flowers for a long time, and report back to me."

"Fauber, let's go see those craftsmen together."

Lin Shaoxuan took Fu Bo to the workshop, and the newly appointed steward Liu Tianbao had already taken the craftsmen to clean the house and wipe the utensils, and Feng Genbao's family, who could make wine, had also gone to the winery to prepare for winemaking.

According to last night's interview, Lin Shaoxuan selected ten dexterous female workers to go to the perfume workshop, and arranged for a few people who knew carpentry to go to the silver mirror workshop to prepare to make carved mirror boxes, and the others had nothing to do for the time being, so they helped run errands in the courtyard.

After a while, the roses were delivered, and Lin Shaoxuan personally demonstrated, teaching them to make distilled water, steam flower dew, and extract essential oils, until the ten people could get started, and then went back to rest.

Prepare for two more days to start work, today first look everywhere to check and fill in the gaps, tomorrow go back to the city to invite Jinyu to live here and have a good time for a few days.
