The Founding of the Red Chamber

Lin Jing has a problem with it, he likes to show off, he likes to be a teacher, in short, he is a bit arrogant.In addition, his eyesight is quite high on weekdays, and there are few people who can catch his eyes. He didn't see the chief historian of King Langya, so Lin Jing just treated him politely. There is no more closeness.

Speaking of which, I don't know how Lin Jing, who has no official position, developed such a condescending temper.

Because he has always looked at no one in his eyes, Lin Jing cherishes anyone who can catch his eyes.Let's take Guan Xiaoer for example. Once something happened to the Guan family, Guan Xiaoer came to inquire about it. Lin Jing's first reaction was to protect Guan Xiaoer first.You must know that Guan Tingyu's life and death were uncertain when he entered the palace. If Guan's family was ruined, Guan Xiaoer would be a prisoner who took Guan Xiaoer in. It was a big taboo, but Lin Jing didn't even think about it at the time, so he just did it. .Afterwards, in matters related to the family, no one would spare any effort to offend Xie's family.If it wasn't for his meddling in the affairs of the Guan family, the Xie family wouldn't be so angry that they would directly send an assassin to physically destroy him.

Because of the Guan family's reason, Lin Jing was able to intervene brazenly in the battle for auxiliary administration to save the Guan family.

For example, Tu Xiaosan, this caught Lin Jing's eyes, Lin Jing didn't care about Tu Xiaosan's grassroots background, he took up the current situation in the imperial capital, and talked with Tu Xiaosan in detail.

Although Tu Xiaosan is knowledgeable about human affairs and the world, he is still young, plus this prince and that lord, this highness and that prince, this vassal king and that empress dowager, Tu Xiaosan felt a little dizzy after hearing this.But seeing what Lin Jing said with relish, even though Tu Xiaosan didn't listen, he listened quite seriously.

Tu Xiaosan said, "You should worry less now, take care of your body first, then you won't have to worry about it later."

Lin Jing said, "Third brother, you don't know that when the epidemic in the imperial capital is over, countless vassal kings will have to go to the imperial capital to seek the throne."

Tu Xiaosan said, "What does this have to do with you?"

"It has nothing to do with me. If a feudal lord who has an enmity with my family comes to power, my family will still be able to live a good life in the future."

"That's true." Tu Xiaosan said, "I used to do business, and I had to build good relations with the officials above."

Lin Jingdao, "Third brother, you are a talented person. If you ask me to say that it is not a long-term solution to rob houses and be subordinates to others."

Tu Xiaosan said, "I'm not like you, I'm full of knowledge, and now the brothers can eat and clothe themselves, that's all. It's a bad year, and it's hard to do anything."

Lin Jingdao, "It's a matter of making a living. In your previous business, when you were small, you could barely make ends meet. When you became big, you had to recruit imperial soldiers, horse reelers and bandits. Now this matter is not good. Wealthy households need manpower, but think about it, after this disaster is over, you will join the bodyguard business, so you will be a traveling bodyguard master for the rest of your life."

Tu Xiaosan also has his own plan, he said, "I'm thinking, when the time comes, we still have some savings in our hands, we can make a living by setting up a shop."

Lin Jing said, "It's just doing business. Look at this Qufu mansion, all the big businesses have no backers. If you don't have a backer, a few yamen officials can make you bankrupt. Although you are good at managing people, third brother, However, in the case of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce, business is the lowest, and no one cares about your small shop, and once it becomes big, you still rely on the breath of officials."

Tu Xiaosan said, "I was in Jinling City before, and I saw those rich men who had money and bought an official on their body. Although they have no real power, they are still decent."

Lin Jing said, "It's just a false title, but it's just to fool ordinary people. In the officialdom, donating officials is the most despised."

Tu Xiaosan saw that his own thoughts were refuted by Lin Jing one by one. Moreover, Lin Jing was not blind. Based on Lin Jing's knowledge, Ren Tu Xiaosan's experience over the years, he knew that Lin Jing's words were all reasonable of.If it weren't for the collusion between the government and businessmen back then, Tu Xiaosan would not have committed a murder and left his hometown.If the world was a little more fair, his apprentice Xiaosan would be a wealthy family in the village now.However, this TND world is just like this that makes people unable to live!

Tu Xiaosan said, "Ah Jing, you have always been smart and have a good head, so according to you, what should I do?"

Lin Jing said, "Instead of donating a false title, it's better to donate a real one."

Tu Xiaosan was startled, and waved his hands again and again, "How can this be done, I, I, you don't know, I can't be an official."

"Why?"

Tu Xiaosan didn't want to talk about his case with Lin Jing, he didn't feel that he had done something wrong, but he was really afraid of frightening Lin Jing.Lin Jing was born weak, and suffered from five disasters and three diseases. It is said that he saw the victims of the disaster and frightened him to get sick. When he said this, he had to frighten Ah Jing to a good extent.Furthermore, if Ah Jing dislikes him, what can be done.

Tu Xiaosan squeaked, "You don't know, but I have difficulties."

"What are your difficulties?" Lin Jing said, "I can tell third brother all the secrets of the imperial court, but third brother, you can't tell me anything, because you treat me as an outsider."

"How could I treat you as an outsider." Tu Xiaosan said quickly, after thinking about it, he changed his approach, "Let me tell you a story, don't be afraid."

"You can just tell the story." Lin Jing listened attentively.

Tu Xiaosan didn't say it was his own business, he said it in the name of a brother in his hometown, talking about his mother's remarriage, how the two stepbrothers in the family usually calculated, and later, when the mother fell ill, the older sister sold herself into slavery, In exchange for silver, I went to see a doctor for my mother.He also talked about how he went to the mountains to collect medicines, found customers who received medicines in Jinling City, how his business gradually grew, but he attracted the envy of his peers, and how his two stepbrothers plotted to frame his mother and make her sink into the pond. and die.Finally, Tu Xiaosan said, "Later, my clan elder brother killed two step-brothers in a fit of rage, and fled the village himself. Our business also broke up, and I was also implicated. It is really difficult to live at home. , and brought Xiaosi out to seek a living."

Lin Jing said, "Such a slut should be hacked into pieces. He should be killed!" Tu Xiaosan was still afraid of frightening his brother Ah Jing, but he didn't know where his brother Ah Jing grew up.In a place like the court, not to mention a bloodless younger brother who kills a stepbrother, even father and son brothers who are blood related will not be recognized by their relatives when they fight.Lin Jing didn't realize that Tu Xiaosan was such a big deal at all. Although Tu Xiaosan was a bit tricky, Lin Jing was not very good at cutting people, but if someone dared to harm him like this, Lin Jing probably would He had to be skinned.

Lin Jing expressed his position so clearly, Tu Xiaosan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Ah Jing's knowledge is far superior to ordinary people, so he didn't know him in vain.Tu Xiaosan said, "You know, I can't be an official."

Lin Jing said, "Third brother, you have almost figured out the way to become an official."

Tu Xiaosan cannot be an official because he is afraid that his identity will be exposed.It can't be said that Lin Jingyu has many methods in the operation of the above, but it is not difficult to establish separate identities for the apprentices and the others.Moreover, Lin Jing didn't fabricate a fake identity for him out of thin air. The disaster in Shandong caused many people to starve to death, how many people were displaced, and it was not difficult to get some of those unowned identity documents, not to mention grabbing a lot.

Lin Jing quietly ordered people to do this matter, because the matter was confidential, and in the end Lin Jing selected a few of the hundred and ten identity documents to give to Tu Xiaosan. The identity documents of these people were not from Shandong, so they would Even if it was an investigation, the Lin family could not be found.

Lin Jing said, "You keep this. These are all identity documents with a proven history. They can be used at any time."

By the time the identity documents were arranged, it was Mid-Autumn Festival, and Lin Jing spent this Mid-Autumn Festival by himself in the old house.He really wanted to spend time with Tu Xiaosan, but if Tu Xiaosan's brothers all came to Lin's residence, it would be too serious.

After Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival, Lin Yi sent someone to tell Lin Jing to go home.Lin Jing asked the person who came to pick him up, knowing that his family members were fine, so he was relieved.

Lin Jing originally thought of arranging an errand for Tu Xiaosan, but now he is going back to the imperial capital, I am afraid that Tu Xiaosan will have to figure out this errand by himself.

When Lin Jing returned to the imperial capital, he naturally wanted to speak to Tu Xiaosan.

Tu Xiaosan was very reluctant, but he also knew that Lin Jing missed his family and wanted to go back a long time ago.Lin Jing said, "It's easy to find my home in the imperial capital. If the third brother goes to the imperial capital, just come and look for me."

Tu Xiaosan nodded, and asked Lin Jing when he was leaving so that he could come and see him off.

Lin Jing was leaving the next day, and Tu Xiaosan gave him many instructions.The next day, I came over with a bag, saying that it was made of clothes, and the road was cold, so I asked Lin Jing to keep out the cold.Lin Jing also gave a delicate purse to Brother Tu San, Tu Xiaosan saw that the purse was taken out by Lin Jing from his arms, the brocade embroidered with cloud patterns was extremely delicate.Lin Jing said, "I wrote a letter to third brother, and third brother will read it after I leave."

"En!" Tu Xiaosan took it preciously.

After sending Lin Jing away, Tu Xiaosan felt rather depressed, and wanted to read Lin Jing's letter right away, but there was no place to read the letter on the street.Tu Xiaosan hurried home, and opened the purse after returning to the house. The letter was folded. Tu Xiaosan opened it, and there was a bank note inside. Tu Xiaosan looked at the amount again, and was really shocked, it was 1000. two.

It's not that Tu Xiaosan has never seen 1000 taels of silver, it's just that, since he fled to Shandong, his family's wealth is no better than that in Jinling City, and now his family's wealth is no more than 1000 taels.Moreover, although the Lin family is rich, 1000 taels is not a small amount. This amount is enough to buy a four-entry mansion in Qufu Prefecture.

Lin Jingxin also wrote quite a lot, mainly saying that Tu Xiaosan should make plans for a better future, and he originally wanted to help find a job, but he suddenly had to go back to the imperial capital, and it might be too late.So he lent the money to Tu Xiaosan, and wrote an interest rate of six cents, which was comparable to a usury outside, so that Tu Xiaosan would pay him back when he got rich.

Tu Xiaosan looked at the letter and felt warm in his heart. Thinking of his background, Ah Jing didn't think he was lucky, but he didn't want to worry about his future with such a kind heart.How can he know such a good brother!

And Lin Jing finally returned to the bustling imperial capital before the beginning of winter.
