Chapter 110: Decision
came out of Mrs. Wang's place, from Mrs. Wang's words, after Jia Lian understood what her idea was, although this matter did make him unhappy, but it was not as good as his wife, Sister Feng, who also stood on Mrs. Wang's side to calculate herself, which made him feel cold.
The property he got from the Lin family in his hands, because Jia Qiang asked Gusu to hire teachers, buy girls, buy musical instruments, etc., and the 50,000 taels of silver that he was going to withdraw from the Zhen family were used by him, so he took out some to make up for this hole; Then I learned from Sister Feng that she and Mrs. Wang sold most of the properties in the mansion except for the Huangzhuang in order to raise money for the construction of the provincial relatives' courtyard, and in order to prevent Sister Feng's housekeeper from opening the skylight on the silver money, he took out a lot of properties to make up for this gap.
Although Jia Lian made a lot of money in the Lin family, the amount of money needed to build the provincial family courtyard was too large, and the property he took out was discounted a lot when it was put into his own account. Therefore, he only had a small grange and two small shops in his hand, and more than two thousand taels of silver. Now, Mrs. Wang asked Jia Lian to bear the accounts of the things he owed on credit, and he calculated that it was not enough to pay all the private houses, and there was still a deficit. Co-authored, he was busy before and after, and he was busy in vain? No matter how good Jia Lian is, he can't bear it.
What's more, during this trip to Jiangnan, Jia Lian not only planned a lot of industries of the Lin family, but also underwent a baptism in his thoughts, and he no longer respected and trusted Mrs. Wang, the aunt, as before.
When it came to educating Jia Lian, Lin Ruhai and Lin Jin didn't interfere, but Aunt Lin did it. Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law, Zhang, wants to call Jia Lian's biological mother an aunt, and their relationship is not far away, they are aunts and nieces.
Although Jia Lian never mentioned his biological mother in Jia's house, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want his biological mother, but because when his biological mother went, he was still young and didn't remember his mother's appearance at all. Although Jia Lian's biological mother Zhang had already married when Aunt Lin married her daughter-in-law, Aunt Lin still saw her and dealt with her several times.
Through this relationship, Aunt Lin and Jia Lian got into a conversation, and won Jia Lian's favor and a certain trust, which made Jia Lian realize that although Mrs. Wang is his aunt, she is the wife in charge of the second room, and Jia Baoyu's mother.
After being brainwashed by Aunt Lin, Jia Lian couldn't help but take a layer of scrutiny when he looked at Mrs. Wang's behavior again, so he noticed many things that he hadn't noticed before. Therefore, this time, when he saw Mrs. Wang blatantly calculating him, Jia Lian was annoyed and stabbed these things in front of Jia's mother, but this was the first time he was so disobedient for so many years, so he was a little timid, so after telling the matter in front of Jia's mother, he slipped away, ran to the Lin family, worked as a supervisor, and watched the renovation of the Lin family's house.
Originally, Jia Lian was just looking for an excuse for himself to leave the Jia family and hide outside, but in the Lin family, he actually saw the interest after watching it for a few days, and was very interested in Lin Jin's novel design, especially the heating method of floor heating, he studied it carefully for several days, because he couldn't figure it out, not only invited Shan Ziye, who designed the provincial courtyard, to come over, but also demolished a room in the main courtyard that had been heated by the floor.
looked at Jia Lian, who obviously said that he was here to help, but the more he helped, because of his arrival, not only did the progress of the renovation project slow down, but also increased a lot of workload, Li He couldn't cry or laugh. But there is a difference between master and servant, and he is not good at driving Jia Lian away, so he can only pinch his nose and let Jia Lian do it. Li He is a little broken now, anyway, when Lin Jin and his party entered Beijing, the Lin Mansion could not be renovated, and it was not too late.
Lin Jin, who was still on the way, didn't know that even if she left Li He enough time to renovate the Lin family's mansion, she couldn't stand the plan and didn't change quickly, and it was impossible for her to live in the renovated Lin Mansion after arriving in Beijing.
At this time, Lin Jin, who didn't know anything about the affairs in Beijing, was taking her family, Fan Pu, and the two sisters of the He family to hurry slowly. Joining the two sisters of Fan Pu and the He family halfway is not just as simple as a few more people, at least Lin Jin took Daiyu and Lin Ge'er to see the plan of the world, and it can't be as blatant as before, after all, they are still in the filial piety period, and in the eyes of the world, it is not appropriate to wander around the streets, so Lin Jin stopped at the shore under the banner of visiting his father's year, colleagues or friends.
Lin Jin said that she was going to visit the connections left by Lin Ruhai, which was not untargeted. Before Lin Ruhai passed away, he gave Lin Jin a list and gave her a few letters. The recipients are both in the capital and in other places, all of whom are Lin Ruhai's old friends, and those who Lin Ruhai wrote the letter are closer.
In the capital, Lin Jin can usually visit from time to time, and ask him for advice, and if he encounters difficulties, he can also come to the door for help; If you are in other places, it doesn't matter if you can't meet for the time being, if you have the opportunity to meet, you can be close and rely on you as your own parents.
Although Lin Ruhai felt that everyone on the list he gave Lin Jin was very good, and after Lin Jin came to the door, there would be no situation where people would go to tea and cool, but Lin Jin felt that he knew people and faces, but he didn't know his heart, what if Lin Ruhai saw the wrong person?
In addition, her family knows her own family affairs, and it is impossible for her to take the imperial examination. At this age, Lin Jin has the reputation of a showman, and it will make people feel that there is a lot to do in the future, but after a few years, more than ten years, if she is still a showman, she will be worthless.
Even if the imperial court is like a prisoner and donation, it is open to the payment of donations for the fame of people, even if Lin Jin has the background of being an official, it is not of much use, so it is no longer said that if you can be an official, you can be an official, and there is a great shortage of people in the early days of Daqin, and now it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and it is not easy for even a serious scholar to seek a vacancy.
Therefore, the path she planned for herself to donate officials is correct, but this requires the support of strong connections, so when she was keeping filial piety in the Gusu tribe, Lin Jin wrote down all the official lists of the people who came and went with Lin Ruhai at home, which was several times more than the list Lin Ruhai gave her, and ordered Zhang Mu to inquire about the official positions and official locations of the people on this list.
When preparing to go to Beijing, Lin Jin marked all the officials on this list of places that he would pass by on the way to Beijing, and decided to visit them one by one.
Some people here may have a mediocre relationship with Lin Ruhai; Some may stage a drama of people walking away from tea; Some may just be beautiful in words, but not in action; Some may ...... But Lin Jin felt that no matter what kind of attitude the other party had, she needed to go to the door in person, see it with her own eyes, and experience it with her own eyes to know which ones could continue to communicate and which ones could not be deeply acquainted, just maintain a general relationship, and which ones did not have to do anything at all.
Because these people will change from Lin Ruhai's relationship network to her connections, therefore, Lin Ruhai's feelings cannot be used as a benchmark, she must have her own judgment.
In fact, when the two sisters Fan Pu and He didn't join before, Lin Jin took Daiyu and Lin Ge'er to experience the world, and at the same time, she didn't forget to visit the officials on her list who could meet on the way to Beijing to spread her network.
