If it is replaced by someone else, with such a glamorous and amazing talent, it will definitely show off in front of others, in exchange for the envy and support of others. But Lin Ruo is the opposite.

She never showed her edge in front of outsiders, but she knew everything about her uncle Lin Qian, as well as Lin Qian's son and her cousin Lin Qi, and never hid her selfishness.

Or because of the fact that Wu Zhou of the previous dynasty was called emperor, there was a taboo.

However, in the territory of Donglu, most people still have an attitude of appreciation for strange women like Wu Zetian - in all fairness, the prosperous era of Wu Zhou created by her is not inferior to the rule of Emperor Taizong's Zhenguan.

And looking at Donglu, there are many people who can be called strange women: when the queen mother of the dynasty is a great figure, if it were not for her support, the chaos in Donglu could not be eliminated so quickly; The granddaughter of the queen mother's brother, the only female governor of Donglu who holds military power, Qu Xiaoxiang, the lord of Fengyang County, is also a female general who has killed the enemy in battle; Not to mention Lin Ruo's mother, Lin Yuan'er, the lord of Shude County, who rescued the driver in Puji Temple, and there are still storytellers telling it in the wine shop teahouse.

It's just that Lin Ruo thinks that it is always good to be careful and cautious. After all, she is hiding in the boudoir, and she can also know the details of the Lin family's business, and she can also give appropriate countermeasures.

However, three years ago, a sudden serious illness prompted her to change her mind.

This illness made her walk before the ghost gate closed again.

No one knew what was going on, and no doctor could figure out the cause. Lin Ruo didn't say anything, he lingered on the sickbed for more than two months, and even the "ghost doctor Yama", who was known as the world's first divine doctor, was helpless.

Fortunately, God has mercy, Lin Ruo's life should not be extinguished, there is a high monk, put a piece of Buddhist paper in her hands, and miraculously made her eyes shine again!

Lin Qian followed the instructions of the monk and spent a lot of money to build this red sandalwood study, and soon after, Lin Ruo's illness was cured.

After recovering from that illness, Lin Ruo was like a different person, she no longer hid in the deep boudoir study, but gradually took over the Lin family's business, and personally created a sensation in the entire Bian'an City "Xiangxue Sea".

What is "Xiangxue Sea"?

In fact, it is the Lin family's three shops in Bian'an City.

"Incense" refers to the Qilan incense located in the eastern center of Bian'an City.

The rouge, gouache, and ornaments here, if they are the second, I am afraid that no one dares to call them the first if you look at the entire Bian'an City. Nowadays, the new clothes and delicate jewelry are almost gathered by the most skilled craftsmen in Donglu.

Especially the jewelry designed by Lin Ruo himself, each one is a rare boutique, even if it is expensive, it still attracts countless beautiful ladies. The jewelry she designs is tedious, ingeniously connected, unique, and more importantly, each of her drawings is designed for a distinguished woman, which is absolutely unique.

After all, it is Gu Mengyao's old business, and for Lin Ruo, it is just drawing some manuscripts.

It is rumored that as long as it is drawn by Miss Lin Jiashao, the craftsmen who are ordered to create it will be regarded as high by other craftsmen. Of course, the craftsmen who were lucky enough to get the drawings of Miss Lin Jiashao would also become famous in the city; Being able to have a hairpin ornament designed by Miss Lin Jiashao herself will make the ladies look up to them.

There are praises, and naturally there are sour words, but if it is this Qilanxiang thing, even the Queen Mother can't put it down and praise it more than once, who has the courage to go against the Queen Mother?

"Snow" refers to the wind and snow in the flowering willow lane.

As the name suggests, it is the most famous green building in Bian'an City, but it is not an ordinary green building.

The reason why Feng Huaxue was able to stand out from the many green buildings was not because it was for the pleasure of the young masters. But most of the guests who come to the wind and snow are not for the love and pleasure of men and women - it is not like other green buildings, it is a place to sleep in flowers and willows, but there are more clever tricks to attract high-rollers from all over the world than to send them to the green buildings that usher in business - this is the place where the Lin family specially organized the Bian'an Oiran.

If Lin Ruo is asked to explain it in modern terms, it is an ancient live broadcast of the Qinglou women's talent show.

The literati may have seen the women in the Qinglou playing the piano, chanting poems, singing, and dancing, but they must not have seen all the top girls in the Qinglou getting together to fight the piano and dance. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a grand scene?

"Sea" refers to the first food building in Bian'an City, the gluttonous sea.

But if you go to Bian'an, if you haven't tasted the delicious food of the gluttonous sea, you can simply say that you haven't been to Bian'an City.

On the day of the opening of the gluttonous sea, Lin Ruo invited Emperor Mingzong to come in person, she personally took charge of the spoon, and asked Emperor Mingzong to taste the dishes of the gluttonous sea. Emperor Mingzong Longyan Dayue, the imperial gift himself, inscribed the plaque of the gluttonous sea. Since then, the gluttonous sea has been full every day.

Speaking of cooking, Lin Ruo had to thank the scumbag in her previous life who kept her in the dark and became a little woman for three years.

God may be very kind to a person, but not necessarily extremely mean to a person, unless he is really a heinous person.

Gu Mengyao and Chu Haoze in their previous lives were both genuine foodies, but Lin Ruoman, who was still Gu Mengyao at the time, practiced her cooking skills hard in line with the policy of "grabbing a man's heart must first grasp a man's stomach".

As everyone knows, it is the cooking skills that make her show her strength. The new product collection of the limited supply of Gluttonous Sea once a month has become a competition that rich foodies in ancient times must grab.

Qilan incense, wind and snow, gluttonous sea.

In just three years, "Xiangxuehai" has already become the three favorite places of the noblewoman and the young master of the capital; It is also these three eye-catching gold nests that have established the position of the Lin family as the richest man in Bian'an City.

Nowadays, in the wine shops and teahouses, there are different storytellers every day, telling all kinds of rumors to the tea guests, making it impossible to distinguish between true and false, which naturally includes whether "Xiangxuehai" is really from the hands of the county lord Minhui.

Most people, though, are in the negative.

Lord Minhui is skilled in arithmetic and cooking, which is no secret in Bian'an City—it has been approved by the Emperor and the Queen Mother. But if it is said that this "Xiangxuehai" that moves the capital is run by her, it is most likely groundless.

In this way, the purpose of concealing the truth is achieved.

Of course, these tea guest officials who listened to the rumors didn't know that all the storytellers could receive a lot of tea fees from the Lin family after they finished telling these deeds with their eyebrows fluttering and their mouths fluttering.

This is also one of Lin Ruo's arrangements.

The transmission of information in ancient times was not as well-informed as in modern times, and word of mouth was not the most popular way of publicity!

With the least amount of money, the best publicity effect has been achieved, Lin Ruo's trick has found a new way, it is really high!

In all fairness, it's a good thing to have a good relationship with these storytellers, but maybe one day, what rumors will be used to spread them?

After all, no matter what dynasty it is, being able to grasp public opinion is definitely a wise strategy.
