Chapter 42 Don't worry
To say that this Lin Zhilan is indeed not simple, he can support the overall situation of the entire Lin family at a young age, and he can talk without leakage.
Gong Lianda started the Lin family's idea again.
The Lin family is so rich that it is a rare piece of big fat.
In order to meet Lin Zhilan, he specially asked Wei Baoquan, the governor of Shuozhou, who he knew, to draw the strings and invite Lin Zhilan to Shuozhou.
Lin Zhilan came to Shuozhou, he deliberately dragged it again, and after a few days, he invited Lin Zhilan to Mingyue Tower.
"Young Master Lin, there's something I don't quite understand. Since the Lin Family Distillery is famous, why not open a branch in the capital? Gong Lianda drank a few glasses of wine, and a layer of blush appeared on his yellow face.
Lin Zhilan also drank several glasses, but his face did not change and his heart did not beat, his expression was as usual, and he smiled slightly: "The Lin family wine shop is just a small workshop, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. Besides, the capital is far away, the competition for wineries is fierce, and I am not familiar with the situation in the capital, so I ......"
"Hey, Master Lin, don't be presumptuous!" Gong Lianda smiled and said, "I'm not blowing, relying on my sister's face, what kind of imperial wine haven't I drunk?" But there is no kind of imperial wine that can have the sweetness and long aftertaste of your Lin family's 'beauty bones'. In this way, if you don't want to open a wine shop in the capital, then I will help you open it, how about it? ”
Lin Zhilan couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and politely refused: "Thank you Uncle Guo for your love, now the Lin family's business is not bad, and I am not in a hurry to expand, so I ......"
Gong Lianda's smile did not decrease, but there was a faint disdain in his eyes, and he grinned at the corners of his mouth: "This is not difficult, Young Master Lin only needs to hand over the recipe of the Lin family's brewing to me, and nothing else, Senior Young Master Lin will not bother." Of course, I won't treat Young Master Lin badly, and I will give dividends to Young Master Lin every quarter, Young Master Lin, what do you think? ”
Wei Baoquan, who was sitting on the side, frowned slightly.
This Gong Lianda is also a bit too much.
Before, he said that he wanted to buy a batch of Lin family's wine to sell it in the capital, and that's it.
Why are you still eyeing the Lin family's recipe for winemaking?
The recipe for winemaking is the secret of the Lin family, and it is the foundation of the Lin family's winery, how can it be given to others casually? This is clearly a bully.
So, he opened his mouth to relieve Lin Zhilan and said: "Uncle Guo, don't be joking, no matter how capable Young Master Lin is, after all, there are old ladies and fathers and mothers above, how can he decide such a big matter?" In my opinion, it is better to think long-term. Uncle Guo has a lot of industries in his hands, and he is not in a hurry for this time. ”
Gong Lianda was also a little surprised, how could Wei Baoquan, an old fox, speak for Lin Zhilan?
I haven't heard of any friendship between them?
But after all, Wei Baoquan had served as the governor, and he still had a certain influence in the court, and now he was the governor of Shuozhou, Gong Lianda didn't want to offend him easily, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "Yes, anyway, it's rare for me to leave the capital this time, and I don't want to go back, so let's think about it in the long run." By the way, I forgot to congratulate Young Master Lin, I heard that not long ago, Young Master Lin just got engaged to Ling Mei and the prince of Zhongyong Hou, which is really gratifying! ”
At the mention of Lin Jiuniang, Lin Zhilan's heart was even more chaotic and irritable, but he had to squeeze out a smile and said perfunctorily: "Thank you Uncle Guo." ”
Wei Baoquan said with a smile: "If you want to say that Young Master Lin's ninth sister and I have a lot of fate, nine years ago, I looked at her when she was just born, wrinkled like a kitten-I don't know how Miss Nine is now?" ”
Lin Zhilan hurriedly said: "Lord Tuowei's blessing, the ninth sister is very good now, not only is she healthy, but she is also sensible and polite. If it weren't for Lord Wei to come to the rescue, I don't know if the little life of the ninth sister could be saved - Lord Wei is the great benefactor of the ninth sister, and this time I came here to thank Lord Wei for saving her life on behalf of the little sister! ”
As he spoke, Lin Zhilan stood up, and the bamboo flute beside him understood, and handed over a brocade box.
Lin Zhilan opened the brocade box, and inside was a bloodstone seal.
"This is a seal specially asked by the old man Junshan to carve for Lord Wei, a small gift, not a tribute, and I hope Lord Wei will accept it with a smile."
The old man of Junshan is one of the best seal carvers in the Wangchao Dynasty.
Wei Baoquan didn't shirk, accepted the gift with a smile, glanced at Gong Lianda, and said with a smile: "Young Master Lin, you see Uncle Guo looking at him with blank eyes, you can't let him go home empty-handed, otherwise, he will be angry!" ”
Lin Zhilan hurriedly glanced at Zhu Sheng, who stepped forward, took out a thin envelope from his arms, and put it in Lin Zhilan's hand.
Lin Zhilan held the envelope in both hands, handed it to Gong Lianda, and said in a low voice: "It's a little meaning, I still hope that Uncle Guo will smile - in the future, the Lin family will expect Uncle Guo to take care of it more." ”
Gong Lianda didn't take the envelope, and while picking his teeth with a bamboo stick, he said with a smile: "Young Master Lin is polite, you have Lord Wei covered, do you still need me?" ”
Wei Baoquan said with a smile: "What is Uncle Guo talking about, I am an old bone, and if I work in Zhizhou for a few more years, I plan to resign and go back to the countryside to retire - I still have to rely on you." Zhilan, don't mind, Uncle Guo is joking with you. ”
Gong Lianda pulled his face and said half-truthfully: "Even if there is no you, then there is still the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion!" Our Young Master Lin will be the eldest brother of the loyal and brave Marquis in the future, and he can still look down on me, the self-styled national uncle? ”
Lin Zhilan has been crisscrossing the shopping mall for many years, and he has seen a lot of people who are more difficult than Gong Lianda. However, none of them have Gong Lianda's background and influence.
Gong Lianda is Gong Guifei's younger brother, and the Marquis of Zhongyong is three points shorter in front of him, let alone himself?
He regretted it a little.
You shouldn't show your wealth.
Gong Lianda must have smelled the smell of the 100,000 taels of silver and came to Shuozhou.
Seeing Lin Zhilan's face embarrassed and silent, Wei Baoquan made a mud again: "Alas, Young Master Lin, what are you doing standing, sit down." With that, he sat down Lin Zhilan, took the envelope from his hand, and stuffed it into Gong Lianda's arms.
A meal tasted like chewing wax, and it was extremely embarrassing, Lin Zhilan was like sitting on pins and needles, and he gave up his hand after finding a vacancy.
Zhu Di and Zhu Sheng followed Lin Zhilan into the carriage, and when the carriage started, Zhu Di said softly: "Young Master, Steward Lin handed over another letter, saying that Yixin Yuan is fine, so don't worry too much, and it's not too late to go back when the business is negotiated." ”
Lin Zhilan waved his hand irritably.
Steward Lin acted cautiously, and if it were not for the seriousness of the situation, he would never write to himself.
As for the later letter, it should be Jiang Xuan's instructions.
Lin Zhilan knew that Jiang Xuan had a knot in Lin Jiuniang's heart, and she was just a moral responsibility to Lin Jiuniang, and it was inevitable that she would take care of her.
After thinking about it again, Lin Zhilan still felt relieved and decided to leave for Fuzhou immediately.
