[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

In Wang Ziteng's eyes, Lin Changzhou, as a collateral line of the Lin family, was able to become a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, of course he was protected by Lin Ruhai.

If he can win the foreign boat business from Lin Changzhou for Xue's family, that's where he can overwhelm Lin Ruhai.

What's more, once this business is won, how can the Xue family not be filial to his prince Teng, naturally there will be a lot of money, and no one will suffer.

Wang Ziteng thought of everything, but forgot one thing: Xue Pan, a nephew, was not the material he expected.

For Wang Ziteng, it doesn't matter if he is a son of a duke's family, beating people or even murdering and stealing goods when he has nothing to do-you can be a troublemaker, but you can't be a waste.

So after seeing Xue Pan, Wang Ziteng backed down a bit: Is he going to help this mud up the wall?Can't.Although I am very confident in myself, it seems that this is not possible.

He kind of wants to retreat.

It's just that Mrs. Wang came to persuade her again and again: Although Xue Pan is useless, Baochai is very smart and can help Xue's family when she gets married.Furthermore, Xue's family has a deeper foundation than Lin Changzhou, and the shipping business focuses on official documents and papers for going out to sea. Whenever he goes to sea, he will definitely make a lot of money by getting things, and Xue Pan is not too capable.

Moreover, Mrs. Wang confided in her elder brother, only saying that it would be good if Xue Pan couldn't do it. Eldest brother has many talented people under his command, so pick out two seasoned people to do this job, and let Pan'er follow.

Indicated that Wang Ziteng can take Xue Pan out of the way and let the Xue family be the person on the surface, but in fact all the money he got goes to the Wang family.

Under Mrs. Wang's repeated encouragement, Wang Ziteng finally made up his mind to do this.It’s just that in his opinion, when planning before, he felt that the Xue family was capable and could eat some meat from him, but now that he saw Xue Pan, Wang Ziteng was going to let him stand aside and give him the leftover soup Two bites.

In the blink of an eye, Xue's family has been in Beijing for half a month.

One day, Lin Jiang and Daiyu were playing Go in front of the book, when Baoshi walked in and said, "Miss Xue is here."

Lanzhi Courtyard is no different from the girl's residence next to Jia's house, and people can walk around by themselves.

Lin Jiang didn't see the Red Chamber very often, but he still remembered some episodes: for example, when Daiyu and Baoyu were talking, suddenly Baochai came in to intervene, and no one had informed them before.Or Daiyu Xiangyun went directly to Yihong Courtyard, just happened to run into something like Baochai embroidering Baoyu's bellyband, and no one welcomed it—the girls and maids of Rongguo Mansion simply came and went in and out of the inner house at will, shopping It seems convenient.

Lin Jiang didn't care about other places in Jia's mansion, and she didn't bother to care about them, but if she behaved well in Lanzhiyuan, she couldn't let everyone come and walk around, what's more, she didn't know if someone was quietly hiding by the side to eavesdrop.

"Young lady Bao, I really like to drop by."

Xue's family had only been in Rongguo Mansion for half a month, and Baochai had been here seven or eight times.I heard that not only their Lanzhi Courtyard, but also Baochai would go to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's every day to ask An to sit with her for a while, and then go to Baoyu Sanchun's place for a walk, basically spending the day visiting.

Lin Jiang smiled, thinking that Baochai was about to come in, so he whispered next to Daiyu: "This is a good businessman."

As the saying goes, running business and running business, most of the business is socialized.

In this regard, Baochai is definitely a qualified imperial merchant, and she is better than her brother Xue Pan in Shibalipu.

It's just that at this moment, Lin Jiang still doesn't know that the Xue family's ideas are all on her system father.

As soon as Baochai came in, he saw Lin Jiang talking in Daiyu's ear. The two were obviously close and friendly.

I couldn't help but feel a little envy in my heart: they are about the same age, and they come from different backgrounds. One's father is a high-ranking official, and the other is a medical professional. They support and accompany each other, and they are not lonely.No wonder people in the mansion say that the two Miss Lin are not sociable, they don't like to go out, even if there is something in the mansion, the old lady will invite them to go.

But her envy was only for a moment.

Baochai had a clear idea in her mind. In her opinion, the life of a woman is very short when she is a girl at home, and the days of being carefree and happy in the boudoir are even shorter.

What people want to look at is the future, the long-term.

From a long-term perspective, neither of them has the support of their own brothers, and it is not a blessing that the Lin family is sparsely populated.

No matter how bad Xue Pan is, a man can be the head of the family.Besides, this brother Xue Pan loves him, and if he gets married in the future, if he says no, his brother will definitely come to defend him and support him.Thinking of this, Xue Baochai's envy disappeared.

In fact, Xue Baochai didn't come here for any serious business, but she was used to walking around the Jia mansion every day, from the old lady, the first-class noble person, to the little maids in each house, talking and connecting with each other.

After all, she deeply feels that in the matter of employing people, you can't just go to the front and let people be used by you abruptly. You have to lay the groundwork early and lay the emotional foundation.

So she just made an excuse to look at Daiyu's new sachet, chatted for a while, then pointed out Daiyu's needlework, and took out her handkerchief to show Daiyu Lin Jiang, explaining the fresh needlework. Law.

From a fair point of view, Xue Baochai's female celebrity is indeed better than Daiyu's. After all, she is two years older, and her female celebrity training time is also two years longer.

It just made Lin Jiang want to yawn.

And Xue Baochai talked with Daiyu for a long time, and seeing that Daiyu was just indifferent, he turned to Lin Jiang: "I have seen some of Lin's sister's needlework these days, but I have never seen Xiaolin's needlework, can you let me know?" Do I open my eyes too?"

Lin Jiang smiled: "The only needle I know how to use is the silver needle for acupuncture."

She really doesn't know how to be a female celebrity -- no wonder she is not born and bred, she has only been here for three years!Even the previous life experience was supplemented by the master of the system.

It would be nice to be able to learn her silver needles well, and there is no time to practice embroidery needles.

Baochai originally wanted to say that needlework should be emphasized in the way of women, but thinking that Lin Jiang is not an ordinary girl, she has gone to the palace to become an official and wear court clothes, so she swallowed her words again.

He just said: "Prince Xiaolin is naturally different from us." After talking about the commonplace for a while, he mentioned Lin Changzhou: "In the past in Jinling, I heard from my mother and the elders of the family that Uncle Lin was a business genius. On the one hand, my sister is in Beijing this year, I wonder if Uncle Lin will also come to Beijing next year?"

Baochai's smile was as dignified as her sitting posture: "Speaking of which, we are both the family of the imperial merchants, and we are related to each other. If Uncle Lin comes to Beijing, my mother said that I must ask my brother to prepare a gift to pay my respects."

Lin Jiang smiled while drinking tea: "Who knows, father has always been unpredictable."

In fact, the father of the system actually contacted her, saying that he knew that she was in the capital through positioning, so he will come to the capital to find her during the Chinese New Year this year.

But this is a one-sided connection. Because Lin Jiang saves reputation points, he didn't mean to spend five reputation points to reply to the system father.

Here, Baochai made some foreshadowing at Lin Jiang, and didn't forget Daiyu, and turned back: "I wonder if Uncle Lin will go to Beijing to face saints next year?"

With an official position like Lin Ruhai's, he doesn't just go wherever he wants.If he returns to Beijing, he must be summoned to Beijing to report on his duties.

Daiyu also only said: "Father is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know what the holy fate will be this year."

Baochai said, "That's right. I'm afraid my sister will know about it only when the family letter from years ago is delivered."

After finishing speaking, there was nothing else to say for a while, Lin Jiang and Daiyu looked at her: see if she has something new to say, anyway, they can't think of a topic.

Baochai is a very stable person. Although Lin Jiang has been drinking tea and Daiyu has been indifferent, Baochai still sat for another cup of tea before getting up, and finally said: "The fathers of the two sisters are both If you are not in Beijing, if you are free and bored for a while, just go to Lixiangyuan to find me, and the sisters will play together."

Xueyan went out to send Baochai off, and told the little maid at the door to watch over the door, then came in again and asked: "Miss Bao comes to sit every day, but it's okay."

Lin Jiang also expressed his admiration: "But I can still talk about new household chores without repeating it every day. Sister Lin and I don't have this ability."
