Zaiju-in.

Mama Ruan picked up the curtain and invited Lin Yunyan into the main room and stayed outside by herself.

Lin Yunyan thanked her, went around to the east room, and saluted Xiao Duan and Lin Xun.

Xiao Duan sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, leaning on the bed, looking at the booklet in his hand seriously, Lin Xun sat in the Taishi chair on the side, sitting upright and revealing a little nervousness.

Lin Yunyan blinked.

It seems that whether it is a newly enlightened child or an old student in his thirties and forties, it is the same mood when he meets the elders to check his homework.

Xiao Duan motioned for Lin Yunyan to sit down, and commented slowly: "The writing is also methodical, and it is better than I thought." ”

This is an affirmation, and a compliment, but Lin Yunyan did not see a "sigh of relief" from Lin Xun's face.

Take a closer look, there is still a little eagerness in the third uncle's expression.

Why is that?

Xiao Duan raised his eyelids, glanced at his son, turned his head and said to Lin Yunyan: "There is Cheng biting gold." ”

"What Cheng bites gold?" Lin Yunyan asked, and she reacted, "There are still people who want to buy Honest Lane?" ”

Of course, this is not unusual.

In the past, Chen Gui got together with a three-owner family, and naturally there were big owners and two owners.

At this moment, those two should also be settling accounts for the business of Honest Lane.

However, without Chen Gui's part of the money, there will also be a gap between the two families, and they will not be able to end until the gap is made up.

"That family has money and wants to monopolize it," Lin Xun sighed, "The yamen said that if we want to participate, we are still inclined to sell to us, and the sincerity of the Bofu is more guaranteed than foreign merchants." ”

Lin Yunyan's brows furrowed.

Isn't it up to Bofu to come forward right now!

is also a strange face in a foreign country, comparing who has money and who has a high price, and their uncle's mansion may not be able to shout the price anymore, and even, Lin Yunyan has been thinking about how to lower the price again in the past two days.

"Do you know the specific situation of the other party?" Lin Yunyan asked.

"Chen Gui inquired." Lin Xun said.

Just now, Chen Guifeng came to the study to look for him and quickly told him the news.

Chen Gui spoke quickly, and Lin Xun was anxious when he heard it, so he hurriedly sorted out the charter to meet the old lady, and asked someone to invite Lin Yunyan.

Now, sitting for a while, her mother is as steady as Mount Tai, not slow, and her niece is also slow, not impatient, Lin Xun took a few deep breaths in front of these two people, and calmed down a little.

"I heard that it is a person from Yuhang, half a hundred years old, started as a rice noodle, has a good background, and now lives in Jinmanlou Inn, according to his own introduction, he has always been honest business, there has been no mistake, Shuntianfu can make people go to Yuhang Yamen to ask, he has never eaten a lawsuit of doing business indiscriminately," Lin Xun introduced, "He has the idea of buying a property in the capital, so he fell in love with Honest Lane." ”

After listening to this, Xiao Duan's commented: "It's not unusual for outsiders to enter Beijing to buy property, and it's rare to be so bold that they buy an alley directly." ”

It is said that wealth is not exposed, even at the foot of the capital, it is never a good thing to be generous.

It is also said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

A white-bodied businessman who came out in Beijing with such fanfare was not bold, but unscrupulous.

"What do you mean," Lin Xun pondered Xiao Duan's words and said, "This person has an unusual background?" ”

Lin Xun is not stupid, his mother nodded, and he quickly had a lot of ideas.

"To have such a net worth, it can't be stunned, since he dares to swagger, there should be a powerful person behind him, I don't know who it will be......" Lin Xun continued to think, "We want to push someone out to take over business, and it's not surprising that other families have the same idea." ”

In the capital, there is no shortage of powerful people.

When you go out for a walk, you can meet several old ladies and little boys.

"Since Hao Tongju has confessed to Chen Gui, it can be seen that the yamen will not deal with the foreigner immediately, and it will take time to investigate in Yuhang," Xiao Duan signaled Lin Xun not to be nervous, "We will do it according to the plan, and when the time comes, both parties will be foreigners, and no one will take advantage." ”

Mother's words were to comfort him, Lin Xun knew it in his heart.

At the same time, he knows better that behind the fact that no one takes advantage of anyone is bidding higher than others.

In this place, I am afraid that my own family will fall behind.

Thinking of this, Lin Xun couldn't help but look at Lin Yunyan, wanting to hear what she had in mind.

Lin Yunyan frowned slightly, and muttered: That net worth background, sounds a little familiar?

"What's that man's name?" She asked, "Yuhang rice merchant, isn't it called Jing Dafang?" ”

"This is it!" Lin Xun slapped his thigh, "When he reported his home to the Yamen, he thought he was a fake name, so he checked his identity as a guide, and it was all true." Yun Yan had heard of that person? ”

Lin Yunyan: ......

She'd heard of it.

Jing Dafeng is short and fat, with a round belly, fortunately, he is white, and the whole person looks like a smiling Buddha, which is very joyful.

He has 17 rice shops in the south of the Yangtze River, opens warehouses and gives grain every winter, and has built five good halls, and is known as Jing Dashan in the Yuhang area.

He is Xu Jian's informant.

It's just that the only time she saw Jing Dafeng was that he was already down.

In the summer of the eighteenth year of Yongjia, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the "victims" rushed into Jing Dafeng's granary and mansion, robbed and robbed, killed people and set fires, Jing Dafeng escaped himself, escaped from Jiangnan, fled all the way to the capital, and finally sent a message to Xu Jian.

After that, Lin Yunyan never saw a trace of Jing Dafeng again, and Xu Jian's tone was full of regret and guilt when she talked about him.

If Jing Dafeng didn't do things for Xu Jian, how could he end up like that?

Those so-called disaster victims are all bandits who have received orders, and they are just taking advantage of natural disasters.

Now, Jing Dafeng appeared in the capital and wanted to buy Honest Lane......

Xu Jian also wants to try this profitable deal in the past?

But how could Xu Jian know?

A thought crossed Lin Yunyan's mind, very suddenly, making her guess but not completely sure.

On the side, Xiao Duan coughed lightly, and moistened his throat with a tea cup.

Lin Yunyan came back to her senses and saw Lin Xun looking at her, so she said, "His master is better than us." ”

At this moment, even Xiao Duan's eyes were a little surprised.

They are sincere to the Bofu, except for the Da Lang who does things in the court, it is indeed far away from the court, but the status of the Bofu is still here, and there is a county lord who is favored by the Cining Palace.

Lin Xun also thought of this, and hesitated: "Then we have to back down and stop doing this business?" ”

The business that can make money is so reluctant.

"Do it, why not?" Lin Yunyan said with a smile, "Let Chen Gui go directly to Jinmanlou to find Jing Dafang, and say that he wants a piece of the pie." ”

Let her see how Xu Jian will react first.
