The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 87
Second Uncle Lin looked up at the sky, put on a sympathetic posture, secretly went over what his sister-in-law told him, and then said, "My neighbors may have heard that my sister-in-law brought two children back to her natal home last month. On the way back to Xuanzhou, they encountered robbers. Thanks to the powerful guards of the Escort Bureau and the kind help of the people in Wusha Town, Qi County, the three of them escaped the disaster; Bless you, I just waited in the temple for the big boat that went to the Lin family to pick it up."

Everyone had heard about the accident on the way back to her mother's house, but they didn't expect such a twists and turns. No wonder Lin's mother fell ill after returning.

Who can not be sick when encountering such a thing?

Song Tianxiang said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me how much food your Lin family donated?"

Second Master Lin's eyes fell on Song Tianxiang, "My sister-in-law has assured the prefect that the Lin family will fully support the court for disaster relief and will never send out a penny of national calamity. The yamen collected anti-epidemic medicinal materials yesterday, and my Lin family took half of the amount. Don’t you say yes or no?”

Song Tianxiang was so choked that he said bitterly, "Your family has the largest business of medicinal materials, and the most medicinal materials in the library. If you don't adjust your medicinal materials, who else?"

"that is!"

"I want to provide disaster relief, but I still can't fill my stomach. How can I provide relief?"

The people followed suit.

"My family's business is so big that three generations of my ancestors worked hard to earn it, and every penny is clean!" You have no money, it is because your ancestors did not live up to it, and you yourself did not live up to it!
Second Master Lin looked around with a serious face, seeing that no one was crying anymore, he continued, "When I worshiped my late father just now, my sister-in-law had already told my late father to donate two hundred shi of grain to the court for disaster relief. Besides, the Lin family store The medicinal materials, cloth, clothing and other goods in the store are all called for by the imperial court for disaster relief, as long as the purchase price and shipping price of the goods do not increase, all the goods in all the stores of our Lin family will not increase by a penny!"

"Every year when there is a catastrophe, my Lin family will not distribute a penny of national calamity!"

Lin Erye's words were resounding, and the people were erupted, applauding and applauding in unison.Song Tianxiang's face was uglier than eating shit, and He Jiongming, who was hiding in the crowd, was as ugly as him.

Inside the carriage, Lin Ruyu's face was red, her eyes were bright, and her heart was beating violently.The applause from the people directly removed most of the weight of the boulder in her heart, and she felt relaxed all over, and even her breathing became much smoother.

This feeling is hard to describe in words, but it can be felt.

My mother didn't want to cooperate with the imperial court in disaster relief. It was Lin Ruyu who persuaded her mother to cooperate with all her strength.In a disaster year, merchants hoard and prices soar, and they can indeed make a lot of money.The Lin family is already a big tree attracting the wind, what is lacking now is not money.

But after the chaos of the world, people's grievances are boiling, who can be alone?
Although Lin Ruyu in her previous life seldom went out, she also knew that the outside world was becoming more and more chaotic. The servants who went out to buy at home had to be followed by several guards, otherwise not only the money and things would be robbed, but even their lives might be lost.

Xuanzhou city is in such a mess, the situation outside the city must be even worse.

The Lin family is the largest medicine merchant in Xuanzhou City. The cloth business ranks in the top three, shipping accounts for the top four, and there are several grain stores. The merchants with the strongest comprehensive strength in Xuanzhou City, apart from the Zhao family and the Wang family, are the Lin family.As long as the Lin family takes the lead in responding to the imperial court's disaster relief, even if the other family's price rises, they will not dare to exaggerate the price increase.

If prices and people's livelihood are stabilized, there will be no chaos in Xuanzhou.

As long as the prefect mentions a few words about the Lin family in the booklets handed over to the capital, praises the Lin family in the reward booklets from the palace, and then gives the Lin family a plaque or a nominal title, the Lin family will transform from ordinary merchants into benevolent ones. Businessmen and even officials.

At that time, anyone who wants to take advantage of the Lin family will have to weigh it carefully.

The more she thought about it, the happier Lin Ruyu smiled.

When the second uncle arrived in front of the carriage and his mother raised the curtain to talk to him, Lin Ruyu couldn't hold back the smile on her face, so she had to lower her head immediately.

The people who were looking forward to it were amazed by this moment of youth.

"Beautiful, so beautiful..."

Zheng Changming's cold phoenix eyes were shining hotly, and he couldn't regain his senses for a long time after the car curtain fell. Behind him, He Jiongming, the heir of Prince An, lowered his head to hide the anger on his face the moment the car curtain was raised.

The Lin family smashed his entire plan today!
Shen Ge who arrived later froze in place, he couldn't hear or see anything at the moment, only Lin Ruyu's brilliant smiling face was in his eyes.

However, Shen Ge's appearance is not abrupt, because most of the people around him are like this, but He Jiong, who lowered his head, is obviously out of place.

The Lin family's carriage continued on, and Zheng Changming ran after him, but Shen Ge grabbed him subconsciously.Zheng Changming shook it twice but didn't move away, turned his head and glared, and was stunned after seeing Shen Ge's appearance clearly.

This little brother looks so familiar, he seems to have seen it somewhere...

After Shen Ge came back to his senses, he realized that he was very rude, and quickly put his hands together and said, "May I ask you, Mr. Zheng Changming, the famous artist of Hezhou God?"

Ok?
Hezhou god painter?
I still have such a title outside?

The corners of Zheng Changming's lips could not help but curl up, and he raised his hand to return the salute, "This is Zheng Changming from Hezhou, brother?"

Shen Ge said with a smile on his face, "Shen Ge is in Wusha Town, Xiaqi County, and studied under Mr. Dongzhu in Wusha Town. I have something to ask today, I wonder if you can be free?"

If other people stop him from chasing a beauty, then he will not be free, but this handsome young man with unique vision stops him, Zheng Changming can barely be free.

Only a few dozen steps from the street to the teahouse, Shen Ge and Zheng Changming already affectionately called each other brothers, and An Jiangchun behind him wanted to roll his eyes.

He Jiongming and An Jiachun went back to the car and stood guard. Although they took off their masks and changed their appearances, they didn't dare to take the risk of following them, lest Shen Ge find out their identities.

In the private room of the tea house, Shen Ge poured tea for Zheng Changming attentively, "Brother Zheng is a straightforward person, so I won't make any detours with you. I would like to ask you to make a portrait of Mr. Dongzhu. I want to take the portrait and go to Find the whereabouts of Mr.

"I remembered!" Zheng Changming closed the folding fan and said pleasantly, "You are the book boy who brought tea to Mr. Dongzhu's house in Wusha Town!"

Three years ago, Zheng Changming visited Mr. Dongzhu in Wusha Town and lived in the bamboo forest for a month. vegetable.

Shen Ge also looked at Zheng Changming excitedly, "Brother Zheng is not only good at painting, but also has the ability to remember with a photographic image, I admire you so much!"

Zheng Changming was praised so eloquently, his smile was as bright as the moon shining on the foliage, pleasing to the eye, "Brother Shen Xian wants to make a portrait for Mr. to find people, could it be that Mr. was also washed away by the flood?"

Wusha Town is just downstream of Wolong Dike, and when Wolong Dike collapsed, Wusha town has turned into a vast ocean.Thinking of this, Zheng Changming couldn't help but hold back his laughter and became worried.

Shen Ge said hastily, "Sir, he was kidnapped one month before the flood and lost his trace."

Zheng Changming raised his eyebrows, "Who is so bold, dare to kidnap the number one hermit in the six states of the Yangtze River!"
