Chapter 154: Second Son, Help
Fu Bo followed Jiang Jinyu back to the house, and before he entered the house, he saw a person swaying in the distance. The man was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe, the fabric of which was so good that it shone softly in the sun, but as he walked, he revealed a tattered white robe under the robe, which hung in strands and glowed suspiciously black and yellow.
The man's hair was disheveled, his face was scarred, his eyes were blank as he walked, he was thinking about his thoughts, and he was still clutching a charred box in his arms.
Jiang Jinyu saw that he was so down, so he stood aside and wanted to wait for him to go first, but who knew that the man walked and walked, and actually walked in front of the Lin house, and knocked on the door.
Who's this? How did you get to my house? Jiang Jinyu and his little cousin hadn't met a few times, and even if they did, they couldn't recognize his embarrassed appearance at this time, but Fu Bo was familiar with his voice.
"Young Master Cousin? Is that you? Why do you look like this? Fu Bo was startled, and hurriedly called Lao Gu to open the door and let Lin Shaorui in.
"Woo, Jiang Gongzi, help!" When the little cousin saw Jiang Jinyu, it was like a child seeing his mother, and he immediately howled again.
"Qin'er, you go to find Lin Gongzi, find it quietly, and quietly invite him here." Jiang Jinyu sent the piano away, and ordered someone to serve refreshments, so that Lin Shaorui was softly appeased.
"Don't cry, I've already ordered someone to invite your second cousin, and he will come over immediately."
"Well, well, now only you can save me." Lin Shaorui took the towel to wipe his hands and face, and devoured some snacks, which made him feel a little relieved. He wanted to tell Jiang Jinyu about the house, but was stopped by Jinyu.
"Wait a minute, wait until your second cousin comes."
After Lin Shaoxuan healed his father, comforted his mother, and was looking for Jinyu everywhere at home, he saw Qin'er coming over and muttering a few words in his ear, Lin Shaoxuan's brows immediately furrowed.
Forgive him for completely forgetting about his little cousin, but he is not to blame, it is really that what happened on this day is too serious. In one day, both parents suffered misfortune, and the old house was destroyed by fire, it was not easy for Lin Shaoxuan to be so calm.
"Let's go, I'll go and have a look." Lin Shaoxuan followed Qin'er into the flower hall in the front yard, and when he saw the embarrassed appearance of his little cousin from afar, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
He's a fool!
"Cousin, why are you here?"
"Woo...... Second brother, help! As soon as Lin Shaorui saw Lin Shaoxuan, he immediately found the backbone of the heart, and tears immediately fell uncontrollably.
"Brother, you talk, I'll go back first." Jiang Jinyu knew that they had to talk about the family affairs of the Lin Mansion, so she stood up and avoided it first.
"It's okay, you rest first, I'll look for you later." Lin Shaoxuan really didn't want Jinyu to hear these filthy things anymore, in his eyes, Jiang Jinyu was like an immortal from outside the world who was not stained with mortal dust, and these things would only dirty his ears.
Lin Shaoxuan instructed Qin'er to serve Jiang Gongzi in a good life, so he sat down and asked Fu Bo to listen together.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on." Lin Shaoxuan slowly tasted the new Longjing tea in the cup, and finally understood Lin Shaohan's revenge from Lin Shaorui's intermittent narration.
It turned out that his father was sick by him, and it turned out that he wanted to abandon everything that the Lin family gave him. Now that he has no father, mother, Lin family's shop, and house, he is only full of hatred.
"Second brother, those people said that they would go to me to collect the debt in three days, and if they couldn't get the money at that time, they would go to the official and use the shop to pay off the debt. The eldest brother said that he didn't care, and the old man was sick again, what should I do? "What Lin Shaorui said the most today is what to do.
"Alright, stop crying, let me think about it." Lin Shaoxuan stood up and paced around the flower hall twice.
The eldest brother is definitely prepared this time, those arrears and defective products are estimated to be from his handwriting, he is intent on destroying the century-old foundation of the Lin family. Although he is rich, he is not familiar with the brocade industry at all, and he will only be beaten passively if he enters rashly, so it is better to give up and have nothing to do with him from now on.
Lin Shaoxuan made up his mind and asked his little cousin, "How much money is owed in the shop?" ”
"I ...... I do not know. "Lin Shaorui is hesitant.
"How many shops are left in the Lin family now? Plus how much more can the goods be worth? Lin Shaoxuan frowned, looking at the mud that couldn't support the wall.
Lin Shaorui picked his fingers and replied for a long time: "I only have five shops in charge, a dyeing workshop, a brocade workshop, and three silk shops. As for how many are left, I don't know. ”
Alas, just like you, you can only be used as cannon fodder by others. Lin Shaoxuan didn't get any useful information, so he had to rub his head and instruct his little cousin: "That's it, you go back first, and I'll send someone to you tomorrow to help you liquidate all the shops of the Lin family." Sell what should be sold, get what you can get, and if you have any money left, you can send it to the eldest brother, and don't keep those shops. ”
"So what will I eat in the future?" Lin Shaorui couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, it was a matter of his future livelihood, and he immediately became smarter.
"Your house is on fire, where do you live now?" Lin Shaoxuan asked.
"Yingyue took her aunt back to her parents' house, there is still a small building at home that can live in people, I will live there first."
"Okay, you live there for a few days first, and then come to me when the shop is done, I will help you buy a house to settle the family, and then find another business for you to do, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing." Lin Shaoxuan paused and added, "It's just that you don't want to tell anyone about this matter first, especially not your eldest cousin." ”
"Oh, I see." Lin Shaorui found a support, so he didn't care why, he stood up and thanked him, and asked, "Can I go and see the master?" ”
Alas, I can't imagine that you are still thinking about the master. Lin Shaoxuan thought about it and told him about Master Lin's condition.
"Don't look at it today, the old lady is scared, you will come back in a few days when your spirits are better." You should deal with the beginning and end of the business first, and in the future, you can work with your brother and daughter-in-law to support Aunt Xue. ”
"Okay, I got it." Lin Shaorui got the idea, and then remembered that Mrs. Lin's jewelry box hadn't been taken out yet, so he quickly picked it up and handed it to Lin Shaoxuan, "Here, this is turned out in Madame's room." ”
"It's hard for you to have a heart." Lin Shaoxuan opened it and saw that there were a lot of valuable heads, and he couldn't help but glance at this cheap cousin in his heart. He took out the big silver ingot and handed it over, "You take the flowers first, the affairs of the family have not been settled, I will not give you the silver first, and when you pay all the accounts, you will come to me again if you have nothing to do with it in the future." ”
"Oh, okay, then I'll go first. Second brother, you must send someone to help me tomorrow! Lin Shaorui stood and refused to leave.
"Definitely, don't go to the shop tomorrow, just wait at home, my people will arrive early in the morning." Lin Shaoxuan hadn't thought about who to send, so he didn't tell him first.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
The little cousin turned around and walked away step by step, leaving only Lin Shaoxuan and Fu Bo in the house. Fauber didn't know what happened last night, and only guessed a few from the conversation between the two just now, but these speculations alone were terrifying enough.
Lin Shaoxuan knew that Fu Bo must have been involved in the events of the year, and he didn't hide it from him at the moment, telling him that his eldest brother wanted to kill his wife last night but was saved by the servant, to the time he burned down the Lin family's mansion in the middle of the night, and then to this morning he bought his father back with 20,000 taels of silver.
"What, anything like that?" Fu Bo was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he kowtowed to Lin Shaoxuan when he knelt on the ground, "Thank you Second Son for saving my family's life!" ”
"Hurry up!" Lin Shaoxuan hurriedly helped him up. "Don't tell anyone about it. Mama is accompanying Madame in the side courtyard, you go to her. My eldest brother has gone crazy, I am afraid that you will be in danger, so you should not go out at home for the next few days, and I will talk about it when I have taken care of everything. ”
Fu Bo hurriedly went to the side courtyard to find Mama Zhang, and saw that the family was all right, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Alas, people really can't do bad things, and if they do, they will be punished! The two of them were accomplices back then, if it weren't for the second son's hand, I'm afraid that last night would have been the time when his family died in Huangquan.
Fu Bo couldn't go out for the past two days, let alone ask him to meddle in the business of the Lin Mansion, Lin Shaoxuan thought about it, and ordered someone to go to the original Dragon and Phoenix Shop to call Fu Bo's apprentice Cui Zhiqiang.
Xipu has long been closed, and it is being renovated these days, Lin Shaoxuan wants to use it to make the main store of Bao Xiang Zhai, and the requirements for the interior are very high, Cui Zhiqiang has been watching there, and it has only been done in the past few days.
"Master, what do you want me to order?" Hearing that it was the second son's summons, Cui Zhiqiang didn't dare to delay and rushed over.
"Qiangzi, you are here, sit down first, I have something for you to do." Lin Shaoxuan saw him sit down, so he briefly said a few words to him about the Lin Mansion, "You go there early tomorrow morning, find my cousin Lin Shaorui, and ask him to take you to the shop to have a look." How much money you owe to others, how much the shop is worth, and how much money the goods can detach, you can check them all for me. Don't worry about a small loss, just deal with this matter as soon as possible. ”
"Hey, the little one will go early tomorrow morning, and he will definitely cooperate with the young master to handle things well." Cui Zhiqiang saw that it was a business matter, and hurriedly agreed.
"It's not that you cooperate with him, it's you who make your own decisions, and you don't need to ask for his opinion." Lin Shaoxuan emphasized to him again. As for the little cousin's nest, he shouted for help when he opened his mouth, and what should he do if he closed his mouth, it was better not to have him.
"Okay, I got it." Cui Zhiqiang has also done a lot of things with the second son, and when he heard him say this, he immediately understood.
"Okay, your master is also here, you go and accompany him, and go back after eating at home in the evening."
Lin Shaoxuan sent Cui Zhiqiang away, and just wanted to accompany Jiang Jinyu, but the waiter suddenly ran over again.
"Second master, it's not good, Madam fainted!"
Woo~~ Can I still live a clean life? Lin Shaoxuan was helpless, so he had to pinch his eyebrows and follow the waiter to the side courtyard.
