It is difficult for men and women of wealthy families to cross

It is not too far from the Lin residence to the other courtyard of the third prince. The husband and wife arrived in a short time in a carriage. The carriage coming out of the Lin family was very eye-catching. The scenery of the previous day was really rare in Liaocheng. Seeing that the Wu family's small shop is even more popular today, there are few people who buy things, and most of them have other purposes. Those who turn around to inquire, those who want to make a relationship, and those who want to try their luck, the Wu family's The small shop was very lively. When the two people's carriage passed by the shop door, Lin Jishan thoughtfully asked if he wanted to go in and have a look. Wu Daichen shook his head. He would be gossiped when he returned to the door before the day. He still came according to the etiquette. Now he It's just a trick, how many people are staring at it, it's better to be careful.

The third prince set up refreshments in the other courtyard, waited for people to arrive, first congratulated them, and then went straight to the topic. "I've already set up a shop in the capital. When will you be able to leave for Beijing? The Lin family boy is not going to Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination. It's better to leave earlier. First, you can adapt to life in the capital earlier. Second, you are in the capital. I can also take care of you."

Wu Daicheng frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, let me think about it carefully." Wu Daicheng wanted to go, but now he is not alone after all, it seems to be more troublesome than dragging his family with him in the past. He can stand the rush, but now he has to consider whether the Lin family will have any opinions on him going to the capital just after entering the house. Coupled with what happened this morning, Wu Daicheng knows that it is not so easy to live an ordinary life in a wealthy mansion. Going out is even more inconvenient, even though this era is relatively open, polite, and rules, Wu Daicheng sighed in his heart, even though he didn't have much ambition, he still yearned for an unconstrained life.

Lin Jishan has been paying attention to Wu Daicheng's reaction. There is no obvious change in the expression on Wu Daicheng's face, but he has a feeling of Wu Daicheng's regret, and he holds Wu Daicheng's hand tightly.Lin Jishan knew that he was able to get Wu Daicheng to come in, not because Wu Daicheng voluntarily, but because of the right time and place.If he didn't have such an opportunity, if he wanted to marry Wu Daicheng, he might have to grind it out, and he might have missed it.Wu Daicheng's hand hurt a little from being held, and he turned to look at Lin Jishan. Seeing the affection in his eyes, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. Although there were many unsatisfactory things about the marriage, Lin Jishan should treat him sincerely.

The third prince looked at the two of them and rolled his eyes secretly, "Go back and think about it carefully, and give me accurate news before I return to Beijing." Even newlyweds don't need to show their affection in front of him!He and the princess are also very affectionate.After the third prince finished what he wanted to say, he let the two of them go shopping in the garden, and went to find the princess by himself.The third prince regrets it, he feels that his seniority is inferior.

It's not the first time for Wu Daicheng to come to the third prince's other courtyard. He didn't have the opportunity to stroll around before, and he didn't have any interest in visiting the garden.The other courtyard of the Third Prince has the style of a garden in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with mountains and rivers in it. In Wu Daicheng's eyes, it looks like the park he visited in his previous life. There are a few goldfish in the pond in the garden, and the weeping willows around are swaying in the wind. Even Wu Daicheng, who had no sentimentality at all, thought the scenery in front of him was pretty good.Seeing that Wu Daicheng liked it, Lin Jishan secretly decided that when he built his own yard in the future, he would also make the yard like this.Lin Jishan didn't know that when they had their own village, the yard was reclaimed by Wu Daicheng and planted, but there was also a pond, but there were no ornamental fish in it.

After the two finished shopping in the garden, they wanted to bid farewell and go home, but the third prince stayed behind for dinner before leaving.Lin Jishan's two uncles saw that they came back hand in hand after spending the night, and their hearts sank. Could it be that the Lin family's family business was really going to be handed over to the third brother?The two of them have been fighting for so many years, but in the end they have to give in?The two began to look at Wu Daicheng with unkind eyes.

"Brother, the old lady has always taken a fancy to the one from the Jishan family. Do you think the old lady is looking at him, or the one behind him..." After Lin Wensheng knew that the elder brother's eldest son married a woman, he knew that he was afraid. I can't be the head of the Lin family, but I'm not reconciled. I wanted to fight at first, but now that I'm appointed by the old lady, I have no chance at all, and I feel even more uncomfortable. When he was the eldest brother, he was still a little gloating. You must know that when he separated from the family, he also divided into several food shops, all of which were profitable shops. , but the family of the elder brother who did not open a new shop is much stronger. Now that the elder brother has been robbed of power, he has no family wealth at all. In the days to come, he will have to ask the younger generation for money. How can he not be happy.While rejoicing in other's misfortune, Lin Wensheng didn't forget to pick someone up. Watching the elder brother fight with the younger brother, maybe he can sit back and reap the benefits.

"The second brother means that the old lady wants to borrow the prince's favor?" Lin Wenming raised his eyebrows, his mind was spinning rapidly, on the one hand, he was guessing the purpose of the second brother to bring up this topic, and on the other hand, he also followed the second brother. Brother's way of thinking to wonder if the old lady really has the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation.Does the Lin family need to take advantage of it?The answer is obvious.The Lin family guarded this area and couldn't spread it across the country, either because there was no background behind it.The third child is the magistrate. The name of the prefect in this area can be developed to other places, and it may be given a three-point favor, but where there is no businessman with a three-point background, the background of the Lin family is not enough.It would be different if he relied on the Third Prince. Although he couldn't use the banner of the Imperial Merchant, it would be much more convenient to do things.As the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Wenming hasn't achieved much in recent years, but his vision is not small, and his thoughts are even more serious.After analyzing the old lady's thoughts, he quickly analyzed the future of the little nephew.Jishan is going to follow the path of the third child, that is, to be an official. An official cannot be a businessman. The Jishan family has to hand over the Lin family's property. By then, the Lin family's property will definitely not be what it is now. , Maybe it has been turned over several times.At that time, who will the industry go to?Although the second child still lives in the mansion, the family has been separated long ago and has several shops.When the family goes around, they have to fall on their own heads.Thinking of this, the stone that Lin Wenming had raised in his heart finally fell to the ground, thanks to the second brother's suggestion!But, does the second brother have such a good intention to mention him?

Lin Wenming narrowed his eyes. He and his second brother had always been at odds, perhaps because the second brother felt that the division was too small.He also didn't think about those few shops that were the most profitable of the Lin family. When they were first separated, he once thought that his mother's thoughts were biased towards the second brother.The second younger brother has been coveting the position of being the head of the family all these years, and he always puts some braids on him. It is definitely not kind to mention him now.I haven't guessed what my second brother is thinking yet, but it's definitely not going in a good direction. "Hmph, I'd like to see what I can borrow." Lin Wenming followed his second brother's words, and left with his sleeves twitched.As he walked, he wondered what kind of thoughts the second brother had.

Lin Wensheng smiled secretly when he saw the elder brother's appearance, waiting to see the good show between the elder brother and the third family.

Lin Wenshi, who held the right to be the master, was sitting in the study. What he was reading at the moment was not the usual idle books, but the ledger, not the Lin family's property, but his own ledger.My son is getting married, and he said that he doesn't accept gift money, but the gift can always be rejected. Look at the gifts sent by everyone, fortunately, they are not too expensive.Looking at the Wu family's dowry and the third prince's gift list, Lin Wenshi can see that the third prince treats his daughter-in-law very seriously.There is a piece of land deed in the capital between the long gift list. Others don't know the value of the land deed in the capital, but Lin Wenshi knows it very well. The address written on the land deed, Lin Wenshi can recognize at a glance that it is a business district, surrounded by doing business. For merchants who buy and sell, even if they don't open their own business at that location, the rent for one year is enough for ordinary people to live for several years.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Wenshi took out the third prince's gift list and prepared to let the daughter-in-law handle it by herself. As for the Wu family's dowry, Lin Wenshi was going to hand it over to her son. Regardless of the fact that the Wu family's business is not big, things that can be dowry It is also a shot, so that people can't find mistakes. "Master, what do you want to say to Mother? You can't really let Daicheng be in charge of the house! If you really take over, the house will be hard to settle!" Lin Wenshi heard the door ring, looked up and saw that it was Lin Wenliang, and took the account book in his hand. In fact, there are usually housekeepers who do these things in the family. If it is not because of his son's wedding, he is afraid that there are precious things hidden in the gift, and he will not go to have a look. Let him be the head of the house, Lin Wenshi is afraid that the The Lin family didn't even know how to sell it.But asking him to leave this matter to his daughter-in-law, Lin Wenshi didn't want her daughter-in-law to get angry, and he also saw that her daughter-in-law had no interest in the Lin family's property.Thinking about it, when I was unmarried before, most of the management of the shop was to help, and I didn't really want to manage it.

"Mother should have thought about it, but it was agreed before that we should not inherit the family business." The magistrate also had a headache. The old lady suddenly changed his mind about this matter, which caught people off guard. The two elder brothers' families did not fall out on the spot. For face, according to the scene in the morning, the response is slow, otherwise the old lady may really be able to make a liquidation on the spot, and then sell the family business to the granddaughter-in-law as a reward. "I'll talk to mother again! But if I mention it now, I'm afraid I won't change my mind."

"If you don't mention it, it will be too late when the old lady goes back." Lin Wenshi sighed helplessly after finishing speaking, "I'd better persuade my mother! I don't have the ability to take care of such a large property." .”

While the two were talking, a servant's voice came from outside the study, "My lord, my lord invites you to come over, saying that I want to say goodbye to my lord."

The magistrate and his wife glanced at each other, and they could see the confusion in each other's eyes. What is the big brother's trouble?
