"Bang ......"

Just when Lin Chong was asleep, the sound of an explosion suddenly sounded outside, which woke Lin Chong up from his dream, and immediately got up and opened the window to look outside.

"I'm so sick, I don't sleep in the middle of the night, and I play fireworks."

Lin Chong looked at the fireworks in the sky and cursed, I just don't know who is so rich to play this boring thing, but the four major families probably don't care about this little money.

Although it was very unpleasant, there was no way to blame the inn for such a thing, and he could only lie down on the bed again and continue to sleep, covering his head.

But the voices outside were getting louder and louder, and there were also the cheers of the people, which made Lin Chong even more unhappy in his heart, but there was really no way to blame anyone for this.

Lin Chong, who was huffing, came down from the upstairs and saw that the streets outside were full of people, they seemed to be celebrating something, and they all looked extremely excited.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on?"

Lin Chong saw that the shopkeeper and the clerk were at the door, and they were full of excitement when they looked outside, but they didn't take a step out of the inn.

"Huh? It's Young Master Lin, today is Xue Pan Xue Shao's birthday. As long as someone spends in all the stores, he pays twice until tomorrow's sub-hour. ”

The shopkeeper's face was full of excitement, but then he thought that there was only one person in the inn now, Lin Chong, and the consumption in their inn would not be much.

"Xue Pan? The son of the Xue family? ”

Lin Chong was slightly stunned, he knew that this guy was known as "Jinling Yiba", and he also had the title of "Dull Overlord", and he was a bit simple.

"Yes, it's him."

Although the shopkeeper was unhappy in his heart, in the face of Lin Chong, a young man, they didn't dare to show any impatience in the slightest, after all, behind him was the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion.

"This loser's thing...... It looks like Aunt Xue needs to be reminded that this guy can suffer a little loss in order to get over this stinky problem. ”

Lin Chong's face was full of unhappiness, why are you a little kid celebrating his birthday and making the whole Jinling City know, aren't you worried about being worried about the Xue family's money?

The shopkeeper on the side heard Lin Chong's words, and his eyes became very ugly, but he still didn't dare to say anything, let alone Young Master Xue, who didn't think he could stop him.

Although he is the nephew of Rongguo Mansion, he is the son of a salt patrol after all, so Xue Min is not a member of the Xue family if he marries.

But Xue Pan is the Xue family Xue Pan who is "good snow in a good year, pearls like earth and gold like iron", and that is the Xue family, one of the "four families" side by side with Rongguo Mansion.

"Make two appetizers, bring a pot of good wine, and send the bill to Xue's house."

Although Lin Chong was very unhappy, there was nothing he could do about this Xue Pan, since the other party had money, then let him spend money, this shopkeeper was going to make money.

"Huh? Good, good......"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and he became excited when he left, since Lin Chong didn't say what to do, he naturally wanted to make the best snacks and the best wine.

This kind of money itself is a lot, if Young Master Xue can give him double, then the money he earns is not a matter of a few taels of silver, at least more than a hundred taels.

After Lin Chong returned to the room, the shopkeeper personally came up with a pot of wine, followed by several fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, each with a stack of cold dishes in their hands.

Putting it on the table, almost the entire table was occupied, and the shopkeeper put down the wine jug, and they turned to leave, leaving Lin Chong to drink quietly alone.

"Shopkeeper, if you don't feel sleepy, why don't you drink a pot with me?"

Lin Chong opened his mouth when he saw that the shopkeeper was going out, after all, he still needed to have an understanding of Jinling City, and he didn't know too much about the four major families.

"Then the little man climbed."

The shopkeeper naturally has nothing to win over Lin Chong, but the Rongguo Mansion behind him is different, this is a family that I don't know how many people want to get involved.

Once you can have a relationship with any of the four major families, then you can have a relationship with other families, after all, the four major families have both losses and prosperity.

"How many years has the shopkeeper been in Jinling City?"

Lin Chong poured a glass of wine for the other party, turned to look at the fireworks outside, if you calm down, the fireworks outside are actually still very beautiful and can't be wasted.

"Young Master Huilin......"

"Don't be so polite, my name is Lin Chong, you can call me by my name or not. After all, it's just the two of us here, and we know that we're talking to each other without names. ”

Lin Chong smiled slightly, what the other party valued was not him but the Jia family behind him, he naturally knew this, but he didn't care about the relationship that the other party wanted.

"Yes, the villain has been in Jinling City for thirty years, and this inn is inherited. Our inn has been in Jinling City for more than 100 years and is the oldest inn. ”

The shopkeeper saw Lin Chong so polite, and he became happy when he spoke, after all, there was no need to hide the affairs of their inn, this was something worth showing off.

"More than 100 years? Thirty years? It's not easy for a family to last for a hundred years, and your inn is running very well. For your elite, do one. ”

"Do you? Haha, well said, one. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Chong's words, after all, only those vulgar peddlers and pawns would say this, and it was the first time he had heard such a statement.

However, what the peddler's pawn said was to be painful, so he was a little excited when he said it, and the person in front of him was angry.

"This is the first time I've come to Jinling City, although my uncle's family has a lot of power in Jinling City, but I don't know if the situation here is not very good, I don't know if the shopkeeper can talk to me?"

Lin Chong poured a cup for the shopkeeper again, the relationship in Jinling City is complicated, even the relationship between the four major families is probably not as good as it seems on the surface.

"The Jia family of Rongguo Mansion belongs to one of the four major families, as for the affairs of the Jia family, I think Young Master Lin knows better than me, so I won't say anything. And this Xue Pan who released the fireworks is the Xue family, which is also one of the four major families in Jinling City. If you talk about Xue Pan's place, I am afraid that it is the same as Jia Lian of the Jia family, and they are the heirs of their own family. ”

When the shopkeeper heard Lin Chong's words, he began to introduce it, not that he was willing to show off, but that Lin Chong, his own person, was probably impossible to understand all about the four major families.

"This Xue Pan's status is so high......"

Lin Chong was slightly stunned when he heard this, although he knew something about Xue Pan, but this world was not the same as in his memory, so it was naturally impossible to treat it according to his memory.

"Yes, to put it irreverently, his current status is actually the same as that of your uncle and Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion, and he is the heir to the current family business."

The shopkeeper also sighed a little when he spoke, looking at people, he could inherit such a huge property by birth, and he could only inherit the inn at home.

"I wonder if Young Master Lin has heard of a ballad?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Chong, and suddenly remembered that the ballad, whether it is a peddler or a pawn or an official or businessman who comes here, you must know this ballad very well.

"What ballad?"

Lin Chong was slightly stunned, and drank slowly with a wine glass, his amount of alcohol was actually not too big, not to mention that it was to kill time now, so naturally he would not drink too much.

"Jia is not fake, Bai Yu is a horse for Tang Jin. Afang Palace, three hundred miles, can't live in a history of Jinling. The East China Sea lacked a white jade bed, and the Dragon King invited King Jinling. In a good year, there is a lot of snow, and pearls are like earth and gold. This ballad is about the four major families, the first is the Jia family of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, and the last one is the Xue family who is setting off fireworks now. ”

The shopkeeper told the ballad again, and with this simple ballad, as long as he is not a fool, he knows what the four families represent.

The huge property represents the huge strength, and the soldiers and horses they raise privately are probably not 10,000 people, otherwise they would not be the private soldiers of the Jia family when they save themselves.

"I didn't expect them to be so powerful, this is really more than I imagined. I haven't entered Rongguo Mansion yet, I don't know what it looks like, but Xue Pan ......"

Lin Chong said and watched the fireworks outside all the time, if this lasted for one night, I am afraid that such a thing would not be possible without a few thousand taels of silver.

Even if you haven't met this guy yet, you can imagine how rich you are by releasing fireworks and promising to double the consumption of each store.

Their Lin family, as the brother-in-law of the Jia family, also has a fat father who is a salt inspector, and his monthly money is only one hundred taels of silver per month.

Because my sister is a girl and she is still young, her monthly money is only a few dozen taels per month, which cannot be compared with Xue Pan of the Xue family at all.

"Because of Mrs. Xue's doting, this Xue Pan is a little ignorant of the world. His personality isn't very good, but he's not much of a villain, at least he has a few civilian friends. But if you see his sister Xue Baochai in the future, you have to pay attention. ”

The shopkeeper drank the wine in the cup, and he couldn't control his words at this time, so he didn't have any reservations about the Xue family's comments.

If this kind of thing is usual, he doesn't dare to say it at all, otherwise Xue Pan will hear him talking about Xue Baochai, and I'm afraid he will be killed directly.

"Oh? How can you say it, is this Miss Xue a ruthless person? ”

Lin Chong was slightly stunned when he heard this, in the memory of the two lives, Xue Baochai is a very strong girl, and it seems that it has nothing to do with being ruthless, right?

"No, no, no, Miss Xue naturally can't be ruthless, and she has nothing to do with this. But she is a very sober-minded woman, and if you say something ugly, she is a woman who can calculate everything. Don't look at her young age, she is much calmer than Xue Pan, no matter what happens, she can find the most suitable side for herself......"

The shopkeeper told the story about Xue Baochai, although this girl was only twelve years old, her sobriety made many people feel creepy.
