Quick travel to save a miserable life
Chapter 44 The bride-to-be (2)
For a long time, the Lin family had only two masters, Master Lin and Miss Lin. Even though Master Lin had to go out almost every day, he would always finish breakfast at home before going out, and he would always come back to eat dinner with his daughter.
After Li Gu moved into Zhen Lin's house, there were three masters, but his dining habits did not change. The family must have meals together sooner or later. But today, it's time to turn on the lights, but the other two people in the family still haven't returned.
The kitchen steward reported back to Lin Hui that dinner had been prepared and asked when it would be served. Lin Hui asked the kitchen to heat the food first and then eat together when her father and husband came back.
As for Lin Hui herself, she was actually hungry for a long time, so she had some snacks first.
Fortunately, Lin Hui was not kept waiting. At about midnight, Li Gu and Mr. Lin arrived home.
As soon as Li Gu saw Lin Hui, he apologized profusely, saying that today's poetry meeting was so exciting that it had just ended and missed the time to go home.
Mr. Lin came home exhausted and saw that his daughter had not eaten yet. He couldn't help but blame her for not caring about his own health, and repeatedly ordered the kitchen to serve the food quickly.
After dinner, Lin Hui couldn't help but ask Mr. Lin why he came home late. Mr. Lin waved his hands repeatedly and pretended to be relaxed: "Daddy will solve this small problem soon. Just take good care of yourself. Don't worry too much." !”
Lin Hui knew the reason and was not fooled. Moreover, this matter was related to the life and death of Mr. Lin and the survival of the Lin family. Lin Hui had to intervene.
Unable to spare his daughter's questioning, Mr. Lin finally told the whole story: There was a problem with a batch of jewelry that Jinyulou was rushing to work on. The ordered gemstones for inlays were supposed to be delivered in the near future. Who knew that there was a problem with the supplier now and he couldn't. Delivered.
Although the other party is willing to pay the deposit, the delivery deadline for this batch of jewelry is approaching, and replacement gemstones must be found as soon as possible to solve the problem.
Otherwise, once the delivery is delayed, it will cause immeasurable losses to the Lin family!
Because this batch of jewelry was ordered by the county magistrate's wife and was to be used as a dowry for her daughter's wedding. If the delivery date was delayed and the county magistrate's wife was delayed from leaving the cabinet, it would greatly offend the county magistrate's family. As a businessman, the Lin family could not afford it. this consequence.
Lin Hui came up with the idea to ask Mr. Lin and another bank in the county to buy some gems at a high price.
Mr. Lin smiled bitterly. If this idea was feasible, he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.
As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and there is usually competition between several banks. This time, Jinyu House took the order from the county magistrate's wife, which has made other peers jealous. They are eager for the Lin family to delay delivery, so how can they help? !
Mr. Lin has already made up his mind to arrange other business at home tomorrow, and will go to the provincial capital in person early the next morning to purchase gems, hoping to meet the construction deadline.
Lin Hui already had an idea in her mind, but it was inconvenient to say more now. Li Gu couldn't help but feel a hint of gloom on his face when he saw that the father and daughter were discussing business alone and he couldn't intervene at all.
It was getting late, so Mr. Lin went back to his yard to rest, and Lin Hui and his wife also went back to their room.
In the late stages of her pregnancy, her belly was too big and it was inconvenient to turn over, and she often got up late at night. Worried that it would affect Li Gu's rest, she asked him to move to the east wing, which also prevented Lin Hui and Li Gu from facing each other.
After washing, Lin Hui asked the maid keeping watch to sleep outside, put down the bed curtain and entered the space.
Lin Hui's space contains many high-quality jewelry and gemstones. Some of them were purchased at home and abroad when she was young in the previous life, and some were purchased by her son Meng Lin Xiaojing in the previous life.
She usually dressed simply and rarely used these items. Lao Meng never paid attention to them, so she only kept a few pieces on the surface and put most of the jewelry into the space.
The gems in the space are enough to fill the gap in Jinyu Tower this time, but Lin Hui does not intend to do this unless it is absolutely necessary.
The main reason is that it is difficult to explain the origin of the gems, and what happened this time was not accidental, but someone was causing trouble. The root cause must be eradicated to prevent similar things from happening.
Lin Hui thought over the idea in her heart again and again before falling asleep.
The next day, Lin Hui got up early and went to the study. She didn't go to the main hall to eat until breakfast time.
After the meal, Mr. Lin went to the shop, while Li Gu went out again to "meet friends through literature."
She didn’t know how a person like him who had never even passed the Tongsheng Examination had the nerve to “show off his literary talents” everywhere. Lin Hui looked at his retreating back with a hint of disdain.
Lin Hui then ordered Siqin and Zhishu to stay in the room and look after the house, and took the other two maids, Yuqi and Mo Hua, out the door. The carriage they took took a circle around the city, and then stopped at the entrance of Baosheng Silver Building.
There are two silver houses in the city that are as powerful as Jinyu Tower. One is Yihe Silver Tower, and the other is Baosheng Silver Tower in front of us.
Lin Hui often went shopping, so the shopkeeper of Baosheng Silver House naturally recognized her. Lin Hui directly told the shopkeeper to invite their second young master to come to the silver house to meet her.
In the private room on the second floor of Baosheng, Lin Hui met the second young master of the Zhu family who is currently in charge of managing the bank.
The second young master of the Zhu family is named Zhu Ye, and he is about [-] years old.
He was overjoyed at first when he saw Lin Hui, and then looked at her bulging belly, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Although he had known for a long time that she was married and pregnant, seeing it with his own eyes was still a bit sour.
Lin Hui took out some jewelry patterns that she had drawn in the morning and handed them to Zhu Ye. Zhu Ye didn't care at first, but then he became more and more surprised as he looked at them. After reading them, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The jewelry patterns drawn in these drawings are exquisite and complex, and the designs are unique. If they are made into finished products, they will definitely be welcomed by high-end customers, making Baosheng Silver House more famous than other competitors. But why didn’t Ms. Lin use such good drawings? Instead of giving it to your own bank, you got it here?
Zhu Ye pressed the surprise button, looked at Lin Hui in confusion and said, "I wonder what Miss Lin means by doing this?"
Lin Hui said bluntly: "Jinyu Tower is currently in urgent need of a batch of gems. I know that every bank has the lowest-end goods. This time, I hope to use Baosheng's gems to help Jinyu Tower overcome this crisis. It will be launched in a month." If the gemstones of better quality are returned, if Er Shao agrees, these drawings can be regarded as a thank you gift!"
Zhu Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that as the eldest lady of Jinyulou could give away such a good jewelry drawing, what she wanted was not simple.
Although his father gave him the responsibility to manage this silver shop, the shopkeeper was a man trained by his father. If he knew about such a big thing as using the gems from the bottom of the box, his father would definitely not agree, but he looked at the anxious beauty in front of him. With the expression and expectant eyes, Zhu Ye's heart couldn't help but soften, and he nodded in agreement.
Lin Hui couldn't help but be overjoyed. Zhu Ye looked at her bright eyes and felt happy in his heart: I wish I could help her!
With nothing to prove, the two of them signed a contract, stating the details of the borrowed gemstones, the time of return, and the terms of breach of contract. Lin Hui stamped it with his own seal, and Zhu Ye stamped it with Baosheng's seal in addition to his own private seal. Poke, now even if Mr. Zhu comes in person, he can't go back on his word, otherwise it will ruin the Baosheng Silver House and the reputation of the Zhu family.
Lin Hui breathed a sigh of relief when she got the box of gems in hand. Instead of going home, she went directly to Jinyu Tower to see Father Lin.
