After the separation, my wardrobe is modern

Thinking of the list sent by Xu Yuanru before, the prefect of Wuzhou was impressively on the list. Although he didn't know the purpose of Lu Jin's visit to Wuzhou this time, Lin Xiaoman had to be suspicious of the claim that he could repay the debt.

But Lu Jin, a small seventh-rank county magistrate, threatened the prefect of Wuzhou to give up these jades willingly?Will he be punished for corruption and bribery in the future?
Lin Xiaoman suddenly didn't like these jades so much, "Hurry up and send the things back, I don't care for jades anymore, don't cause trouble for these things."

Lu Jin laughed, "It's really used by the magistrate to repay the debt. I still have the IOU written by him in my hand. I haven't asked him for it all these years. But if he is convicted and ransacked his home one day, the money is not worth it." Did it just go for nothing?"

"Ah? You came this time to ask the magistrate to collect debts?"

How can that be?It's not Lu Jin's turn to go out to collect debts, but Lin Xiaoman seemed to believe it, so he nodded, "Yes, the prefect is too big, and if ordinary people come to collect debts, I'm afraid no one will see them, so I will I came here in person. It’s just that the magistrate usually has too little money and can’t afford that much money at once, so he took his family’s jade and low debt. Although these jades are not worth that much money, I can’t force him to die. Just do it first."

Seeing that Lu Jin still looked regretful, as if annoyed at not being able to recover all the debts, Lin Xiaoman no longer doubted, but asked, "What is your grandparent's family doing? How can you borrow so much money from the magistrate?"

"My grandfather was named an imperial merchant when he was young, and he has been in business for decades. Not to mention rich, he is also the richest man in the capital, so his family is naturally rich."

"So rich?" Lin Xiaoman stared, no wonder the Lu Jinneng that Xu Qiuliang said was so reckless. It turned out that it was not because of power, but because of being rich.

Although the imperial merchants also have a Shang character, they are far from comparable to those of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants, and their status is much higher than that of ordinary officials and eunuchs.

But the debt owed to the grandfather's family, he exchanged it for jade in this way, will anyone in the grandfather's family have any objections?
"Then when you return to Beijing, your grandfather's family asks about the debt, what do you say?"

Lu Jin sighed, "My grandparents only gave birth to my mother, and my mother only gave birth to me. Now that my grandparents and mother have passed away, I am in charge of everything in my grandfather's family."

This time Lin Erhu exclaimed, "Isn't it true that you have inherited all the property of your grandparents' family? Royal businessman, my lord, how rich are you? Don't you have any relatives to worry about?"

Lu Jin sneered, "That also depends on their courage."

Lin Xiaoman believed that Lu Jin's ability to make such a domineering declaration probably came from his father's confidence.

Thinking about it, Huang Shang only gave birth to a daughter. If they didn't want their property to be taken over by their relatives after they died, they would find a husband with a high family status for their daughter.

When the grandson inherits the inheritance, who would dare to intervene?
However, with so much money, if he is not guarding it in the capital, won't it be annexed by others?
Suddenly, Lu Jin felt that Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu looked at him not only with envy, but also with sympathy and worry.

Lu Jin didn't know where he was going to make them sympathize. Could it be because there was no one in his grandfather's house?But aren't they orphans themselves?

Lu Jin's head was full of black lines, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Just as Lin Erhu was about to open his mouth, Lin Xiaoman covered his mouth, "My lord, are you hungry? I stewed chicken in the kitchen for a whole day, would you like some chicken soup?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but Lu Jin also felt a little hungry when he asked, so he nodded, "Well, a bowl is fine."

Lin Xiaoman urged Lin Erhu to fill up the chicken soup, and before Lin Erhu moved, Qing Shu had already said, "I'll go, I'll go."

After Qingshu ran out, Lu Jin pointed to the box on the table and said, "Put these Xiaoman away, I'll give it to you to play with."

This is too expensive, even rich people have never heard of so many betrothal gifts, Lin Xiaoman has the nerve to accept it, and hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, sir, let's keep it for myself, I took these, and I won't be able to sleep at night." Feel good."

Lu Jin took a deep look at her, and didn't try to persuade her anymore, but just sighed.

Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to ask him why he sighed, because he was afraid that he would tell Lin Erhu that he wanted to be his wife.

Although the two of them got along very well recently, and their relationship had taken a qualitative leap forward, they hadn't reached the point where they were about to discuss marriage. It was better not to let Lin Erhu know, so as to save that kid from being annoying all day long.

Well, if the two got married, she wouldn't be burdened with anything Lu Jin gave her, but now the two just have a crush on each other, and they didn't even invite a matchmaker. How could she accept such a heavy gift from Lu Jin?
On the second day, the woman who took Lin Xiaoman shopping yesterday came again, and Lin Xiaoman followed her around the city for a long time. The banknotes Lin Xiaoman brought out were almost spent yesterday, and today he only bought some small things .

Like beautiful teacups, calligraphy and paintings sold by down-and-out scholars on the street, a few ginseng and ganoderma lucidum dug from the mountain...the price is not expensive, and it only costs less than ten taels of silver after a day's shopping.

After this round of shopping, Lin Xiaoman also got a general idea of ​​Wuzhou Mansion, so he lost the intention to go shopping again.

After paying the woman's wages, he gave her another piece of silver as a reward, so that she would not have to come back tomorrow.

The woman accepted the reward and thanked Lin Xiaoman a thousand times.

In the next few days, Lin Xiaoman only wandered around the government office, but he came up with the idea of ​​buying a shop here.

It's just that it's too far away from Hedong Village, and it's not easy to run a shop after buying it. You can't let Lin Daqiang bring people to do business here, can you?

Qianglong doesn't overwhelm local snakes. If someone falls in love with their hot pot chicken recipe and wants to buy it by force, they have nothing to do.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the final exam. Waking up early in the morning, Lin Xiaoman made a pot of noodles, laid a few eggs, and gave Lin Wenyao and Lin Erhu each a bowl of noodles and two eggs, which meant that they could get [-] points in the exam.

Although Lin Wenyao didn't understand the purpose of adding eggs to the noodles, the noodles were so fragrant that a bowl of noodles wasn't enough to eat, so he filled a bowl with an egg in the pot by himself.

Lin Erhu also felt that it wasn't enough, so he went to fill half a bowl of noodles, but he didn't scoop up any more eggs. After all, one hundred points is enough, what the hell is one thousand points?

Even if he didn't believe it, he wanted a good omen.

After eating and drinking enough, the family sent them to the examination room together. Lin Xiaoman brought them dry food and money. If there is food for sale, don't be reluctant to buy it.

Because it is close, it is only a few steps away.Mrs. Yao took Lin Wenyao's hand, and before he could finish his instructions, the officials guarding the examination room were already shouting to come in quickly and get out of the way.

Yao could only let go of Lin Wenyao's hand reluctantly, and shouted for him to take the exam.

Lin Erhu was short, and Lin Xiaoman stood on tiptoe to watch for a long time but didn't see anyone, but he heard Lin Erhu shouting from the crowd: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely give you a talent test and come back."

Lin Xiaoman said, how could he see that he was worried?
But he still shouted loudly: "If there is food for sale, buy it, don't be reluctant to give up money."

He didn't hear Lin Erhu's answer, so he should have been squeezed inside.
