"Second master, the post was handed in, but the housekeeper of the Lin family said that Lord Lin was seriously ill and did not see the guests."

Zhao Sheng frowned, "Make it clear that it's our Zhao family?" Our family is related to the Lin family! ”

"I said it, but Steward Lin still didn't let go," Chang Sui paused and said: "The little one also saw the Chang Sui of the Zhou family's uncle in the concierge, and the Lin family didn't see it either." ”

Zhao Sheng was irritable, "When will the Shang family come?" If the Lin family doesn't see us, it's impossible for the people of the Shang family to not see us, right? ”

Chang Sui immediately nodded and said, "Second master, don't worry, Suzhou is not far from Yangzhou, if Mrs. Gu comes, you can get there in three days." It's faster to come, and it's only two days to get there. ”

Zhao Sheng pouted, "It's been five days since the Lin family released the news, and those who should come and shouldn't have come have arrived in Yangzhou City, the Shang family is so close but so grinding, if you want me to say that my brother-in-law shouldn't give the home to Shang Mingyuan, that is a master who can only eat, drink and have fun, where can he know how to get down to business......"

Zhao Sheng didn't shy away from complaining at all, and the person at the low table next door pursed his lips when he heard it, and squeezed his eyebrows with the friend opposite, saying that Shang Mingyuan was incompetent, and how strong was the second master of the Zhao family?

is obviously related to the Lin family, but he can't even enter the gate, so it can be seen that the relationship is not very close.

The eight CDs sitting in the guest house today are the families and businessmen who came to the Lin family's industries, and they are all people who stomp and shake in the local area, so no one really cares about Zhao Sheng.

There are those who don't deal with the Zhao family, and they show a contemptuous look directly in front of them, and they are not afraid of trouble at all.

Lin Qingwan's hand muddied the water in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and all major families and businesses sent people.

Be cautious, the head of the house will come in person.

The head of the family couldn't spare time, so he sent a master who was not light in the family like the Zhao family.

Lin Qingwan didn't see anyone, and she didn't let the Lin family's steward reveal his mouth, and after agreement, they decided to set the venue for the meeting and auction at Sheng Kee Restaurant.

Lin Qingwan closed the booklet and said to the stewards sitting below: "The reserve price is so set, you can think about it again in the near future, if you are willing to go with me, I will naturally not treat it badly, and if you are unwilling, whether to let go or follow the new owner will also decide as soon as possible." Don't worry, if you want to follow the new owner, I will make it clear to them before the transaction, if it is good, my Lin family will not want your redemption silver, and it will be our master and servant. ”

The chief steward of Hangzhou said with a heartache: "Miss, so many industries, do you really want to sell them all?" This is the accumulation of more than ten generations of the Lin family, from the ancestors of the Lin family to move south with the Sima family, the foundation of the Lin family in Jiangnan has accumulated little by little, this, this, all sold, how can you and the master go to see the ancestors of the Lin family in the future......"

Lin Qingwan stroked the booklet on the table, tugged at the corners of her mouth and said, "Uncle Zhong, my heart hurts, but our aunt and nephew can't keep these things." Money is important, but it is not as important as people go, as long as people are still there, the Lin family can always get up. ”

Chief Steward Zhong didn't believe Lin Qingwan's statement at all, the Lin family was in the first place among the major families in Jiangnan, why couldn't they keep the family property?

"Aren't there still clans?" The chief steward Zhong couldn't help but say: "Miss, it's not a small one to pour cold water on you, you deal with the family property Lin clan like this......"

Lin Qingwan, who has always been gentle, sneered on her face, and said coldly: "This is the property of my descendants, not the clan's property, can I deal with my own family property and ask them to take care of it?" ”

More than a dozen chief stewards saw the sneer on Lin Qingwan's face, and their hearts couldn't help but burst out, and after looking at each other, their hearts were full of doubts.

This time, the attitude of the eldest lady and the lord towards the clan is really strange, although it was not very close to Suzhou before, but the lord will stretch out his hand when the clan has anything, and the clan has a lord and the eldest lady who has three disasters and six disasters will also help, but for more than two months, the attitude of the lord and the eldest lady is very subtle.

Until now, he would even rather scatter all his family property than leave it to the clan, not to mention, even if he does not give it to the clan, he should sell it to the clansmen first, which is almost a customary rule. But the eldest lady would rather post a post and invite someone to bid than contact the clan first...... Could it be that the clan did something to anger the lord and the eldest lady?

The stewards didn't dare to talk about it anymore, they have seen the eldest lady's methods in the past two months, don't look at her at the beginning she was still very young and immature, but she got started quickly, the accounts were quick and clear, the most important thing is that the brain is clear, and she can draw inferences, and some even they can pull out a string just by mentioning a sentence, which is very old lady's demeanor.

It's a pity, she is a girl, otherwise the master would have gone, and this family property would not have to be dispersed.

Chief Steward Zhong also had doubts in his heart, he was loyal to Lin Zhi, seeing that the eldest lady was so angry, he also felt that it was the Lin clan's side that did something, of course he couldn't speak for them anymore, so he bowed down and retreated.

When he got outside, Steward Zhong turned around and went to find Steward Lin, "Brother Lin, I'm not in Yangzhou, I don't know many things, you can't hide it, why did the lord and the eldest lady scatter all their family wealth, you have to give me an explanation." ”

Behind Chief Steward Zhong, several chief stewards followed.

They were all Lin Zhi's henchmen, and the old lady had been in the past sixteen years, so it was easy to take care of the Lin family so well, but they couldn't be so inexplicably gone.

Steward Lin frowned, thinking of the master's instructions, he looked left and right, and sighed and said to a few old guys: "The master and the eldest lady are also forced to have no choice, and the clan can't wait for the eldest sister to die, so that they can naturally take over the Lin family's industry." Otherwise, the master will not agree to the eldest lady marrying the Xie family first and then returning to the clan to be widowed, you must know that the Xie family still owes our eldest aunt an explanation......"

Seeing that the prediction came true, the faces of several chief stewards were very unpleasant, and they hurriedly asked him, "What did the clan do to the eldest sister?" ”

You must know that Lin Jiang only has one daughter, Lin Yubin, and its significance is self-evident, if Lin Qingwan marries, then Lin Yubin will be the only heir of the branch.

Steward Lin said vaguely: "I don't know the specifics, it's just that the lord and the eldest lady are unwilling to leave the family property to the clan, and would rather scatter them to do favors, saying that these things are all scourges, people keep them, and the wealth will always come in the future." But if people can't keep it, no matter how much money they have, they will be cheaper than others. ”

The chief steward Zhong gritted his teeth, turned around and said: "I go out for a walk, even if I have the idea of scattering money, then I have to sell it for a good price, tell the eldest lady, my old Zhong Sheng is a member of the Lin family, and death is a ghost of the Lin family, and my old Zhong family follows the eldest lady." ”

The stewards behind also hurriedly said: "We were all rescued by the old lady, and we also followed the eldest lady, with us, even if we go back to Suzhou, they can't bully the eldest lady and the eldest sister." ”

"I'm also going out for a walk, I'm quite familiar with the Zhou family's steward, and they must want to inquire about the news from me at this time."

"I'll go too, the Sheng family has bought tea with me, aren't our tea gardens going to be sold, I'll go and find out their mouth."

"Then I'll go to the guest house......

"I'll go to the restaurant......"

Steward Lin quickly dispersed, and he sighed slightly, in fact, he didn't know what the master and the eldest lady were for.

It was as if the lord and the eldest lady were on guard overnight, not only against the clan, but also against the Shang family and the Zhao family......

But the lord and the eldest lady are so smart, they can't be wrong.

Thinking of the master's advice, Steward Lin hurriedly restrained his emotions, turned around and went to the backyard.

Lin Qingwan looked at the people in the warehouse and counted things, this house is an official residence, Lin Jiang has lived for many years, but if he resigns, he will definitely not be able to live here, so the things should be packed up as soon as possible, and a batch can be transported back to Suzhou first.

Silk, silk, spices, jewelry, gold, silver and jade ornaments, bronze ceremonial vessels, and even antique calligraphy and paintings and unique books will not be donated.

So even if she sold so much real estate and donated most of the gold and silver, Lin Qingwan didn't panic, although these things were not easy to realize, they were all property.

And the bosses of other forces are not going to fight against them for this little thing, Lin Jiang can see it very clearly, the Lin family, in addition to the gold, silver and grain, only those good fields, shops, tea gardens, etc. are the most exciting.

After Steward Lin finished reporting, he said, "Miss, don't you still have a few properties left, and I'll leave them to take care of them when the time comes." They are not poor in power, and they can fulfill their faithfulness. ”

Lin Qingwan didn't want to live pitifully in a corner, now she is just throwing out the hot potato, and she will definitely try her best to take care of the industry for Yubin in the future, so she nodded and said: "Anyone who is willing to stay will be accepted, and the housekeeper will remember the name well, and then let people pay attention to it to see how their character and ability are." ”

In this era, talent is the most rare.

Steward Lin was happy to hear this, recently the eldest lady looked like she was going to scatter all her family wealth and house slaves, but she was worried about him.

Although the eldest lady said that those who are unwilling to leave can stay, but she only left two farms, a bookstore and four bookstores, how many people can be supported by such a small industry?

Steward Lin was dying of sorrow.

He wanted the young lady to keep more, but the old man said that any more would be eye-catching, so he had to hold back the words.

He didn't know what the master and the eldest lady had gone through, they were so soldiers that they didn't even dare to stay in a shop.

If it weren't for the old man saying that the Lin family was a scholarly heirloom, the bookstore and bookstore couldn't be sold, and maybe the four bookstores wouldn't be able to keep it.

And the most valuable of all the industries of the Lin family is Lin Ji Yinlou, the second is the Lin family's silk village, the third is the tea garden, and the fertile land distributed all over the south of the Yangtze River, these four things can't be bought with money.

As a result, the lord and the young lady were about to disperse without blinking.

Steward Lin hurriedly retracted his thoughts, he couldn't think about it anymore.

"Steward Lin, Steward Lin, the young master of the Shang family is here, and he has already arrived at the door......"

Steward Lin turned around and went to find Lin Qingwan, "Miss, the young master of the Shang family is here." ”

Lin Qingwan raised her eyebrows, "Is it the eldest cousin or the second cousin?" ”

The panting little guy behind him immediately said: "It's the big cousin young master, and he only brought one steward and two little guys." ”

Lin Qingwan turned around, "Please sit in the flower hall, and I'll see him later." ”

Lin Qingwan's sister-in-law Shang is the youngest daughter of the Shang family, and there are two elder brothers, the eldest master Shang died early, and now the second master is still in charge, but the others are in Kyoto, and it is Shang Mingyuan who manages the affairs of his hometown, that is, the eldest son of the eldest master.
