[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

Old butler Lin not only followed Lin Yu's instructions, but also carefully arranged for his little grandson to follow.Who in the clan doesn't know that Lin Yu never uses such a child, and just treats him as a kid in the family who escorts the New Year's gift. Seeing him standing aside and watching, only smiling and not talking, he doesn't take it to heart.

After watching a good show, the boy took the clothes of Zhang Zhong who was in charge of the escort back to Lin's house, and told his grandfather one by one who came to pick up the things and what they said, chattering. The small mouth opened and closed and spoke clearly.

After finishing speaking, he reached out for candy.Zhang Zhong saw that he was small and clever, and only hated that he never put any caramel or other coaxing things on his body, so he had to spend money with him in a hurry.Old housekeeper Lin hurriedly stopped him, saying: "He is a kid, how dare he use these." So he sent a woman to take him home, and he and Zhang Zhong went to the study outside.

When Lin Yu heard this, he only said that he knew it, and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, he had already made up his mind, so it's nothing to do now. He just smiled and said, "I'm afraid that my second uncle's house will not be peaceful tonight."

He was very interested in Old Butler Lin's little grandson. He asked what his name was and how old he was this year, and asked, "It can be seen that he is a talent who never forgets. Have you ever studied?"

The old housekeeper shook his head and said: "I dare not say it, but I am a little smarter than others. It's just that my eldest son is spoiled too much. The old servant has said it several times, but it's just useless."

Lin Yu said with a smile, "I think I'm looking for a book boy. Why have you never heard of this grandson?" He said again, "What are you afraid of? Go back and teach me a lesson. I'll send it here after a year. Don't waste the seedlings."

Old butler Lin hurriedly responded.

Just like what Lin Yu said, his second uncle, that is, Lin Song's family, unexpectedly welcomed a rare visitor tonight, but it's a pity that the rare visitor didn't bring any nice words.

It stands to reason that, as the head of the clan, he didn't need to make such a trip again, but this time Lin Song really went too far. He cared about the reputation of the clan, so he had to come here in person.

He is also of the same generation, and he is the head of the clan, so he doesn't need to give much face.It was only because of the benefits that Lin Song had given each year in the past two years that he came to talk about the matter, and then he left in a hurry without caring about the blue look on Lin Song's scorched face.

Lin Songqiang sent the patriarch away with a smile on his face, turned his head and closed the door, and before he had time to return to the hall, he couldn't help being furious and said, "Lin Zhi, look at what you've done!" Yi suppressed his anger, flicked his sleeves and walked in.

The youngest son named Lin Zhi had no choice but to make a bitter face, and respectfully followed with his head down, scolding Mrs. Chen for coming up with such an idea in his heart.

This Lin Song has two sons, and the eldest Lin Pang has only passed the exam.Three years ago, he spent the property that his family planned from Lin Yu to donate a small county magistrate, and now he is working in another place.Younger Lin Zhi was even worse, wandering around the streets all day long, he just messed around like this when he had no money, but now he has learned to show off the money of the second master of the Lin family.There was even a group of local hooligans who saw that he was getting rich, called him the second master, and coaxed him to spend money, eat, drink and have fun, which can be said to have a wide range of friends.

This time, it's easy to say, but this year's expenses are too high, so I have to find ways to make up for the loopholes from the dealer's goods delivered at the end of the year.

With a sound of "snap", Lin Song threw the list in his hand in front of his disappointing and stupid little son. When Lin Zhi saw that the tone was different, he knelt down on the ground numbly after hearing the sound. , bowed his head and said nothing.

Lin Song recalled what the patriarch had said just now, and he couldn't help but his blood surged up, and the old servant on the side hurried forward to help him who was staggering, and sat on the newly made red sandalwood chair.He waved his hand, and the old servant took out a room of servants knowingly, closed the door and guarded it himself.

Looking at his youngest son kneeling with low eyebrows, he couldn't help cursing inwardly as an idiot!How many things can be produced in Zhuangzi's fields, so they can be deducted like this?He had thought well before, when the kid had more than seven years to tie his hair, he would be able to use a method to slowly earn out the contract he was holding in his hand!In the future, it is unknown even if Zhang's dowry is obtained.What good is it to tear your face so early now!

"Tell me, how come there is only so little left over from the delivery!" He fumbled for a porcelain white bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and swallowed it with the cold tea.It's only been three short years since the property he earned from Lin Yu's fur doll, how could he not know that there should be output every year?I'm not too old-eyed yet!

Lin Zhi didn't say how much he spent drinking and gambling outside, or his old father would have his legs broken, but he only said that his age was not good.

Lin Song sneered, and said: "Look at my age and don't care about things, can I be deceived?" He stepped forward and kicked it, after all, he was old and lost the strength he had before, Lin Zhi only followed his strength, Leaning to the side, he didn't pay attention, and said, "It must be drinking and gambling again. I've said it eight hundred times. Gambling is the root of prodigal family. Our Lin family comes from a scholarly family with a hundred years of history. How can we produce a bad gambler?" !"

What about the scholars who returned books, if it wasn't for the calculation that the family of the younger generation would have the same good life as the decent nobles now?Lin Zhi felt disdainful.Why didn't you talk about the scholar's fragrance when you donated to the official for the big brother who couldn't pass the Jinshi exam, and calculated the family's property in every possible way?Now it's serious and in vain, and I look down on him.If he didn't take care of the general affairs at home, how could my good father and big brother have the comfortable life now?

At this time, he didn't want to think that he only cared about eating, drinking and having fun with people on weekdays. How could he really care about business?

Lin Zhi got up from the ground and knelt down again, only lowered his head and said: "It's really difficult at home. Those maids, servants, wives and mothers-in-law who are too many, the patriarch's yamen's benefits are paid, and the elder brother who has been in office for three years sees that he is going to pay for it." Get ready, it's even bigger."

Lin Song was panting, listening to his eldest son who was promising, and wanted to kick him again, but he couldn't.A pair of withered hands patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair, and said angrily: "Without your elder brother, how can we still be called a family of officials? It is important to manage expenses, and we must not be frugal!" He glanced sullenly. Eyeing the youngest son on the ground, he said again, "Why, are you still not convinced?"

Lin Zhi hurriedly stepped forward and flattered him: "How dare my son, if there is no father to make a quick decision, how can my son be so rich and precious now?" He added, "There is only a little brat over there, how much can he eat and use? I am a teacher Uncle's is saved for him, who can tell if it's not? The patriarch is thinking too much."

Lin Song thought about it again, isn't it?There's just a kid with no parents over there, can he still make a serious fight?Zhang family?No matter how good the Zhang family is, it is also a foreign family and cannot control the internal affairs of the Lin family.If it hadn't been for the branch in the capital to get in, he would have obtained all the property long ago.

Thinking about it, he kicked his youngest son who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Get up." Then he sneered, "You're still gold and jade, something you don't know, the family in the capital is called the real gold and jade!" Born early, the branch that attacked the Marquis had not yet been divided into clans. When he was young, his mother brought him into the mansion to pay New Year's greetings. Only then did he know what a Marquis family name is, and that is the real gold and swallow jade. Very noble.

Lin Zhi smiled and patted the feet of his robe and got up, saying: "The son is only so old, how can he be more knowledgeable than his father?"

"Okay." Lin Song interrupted the memories of the past, and said, "This year is nothing more than that, anyway, I have already sent them all out, so there is no point in asking for compensation." This old man who has grown old is obviously familiar with the yamen. "Back then, as a last resort, I signed some non-resellable documents, did you really think I was helpless?"

It's not that there is no way out. Back then, the document was in quadruplicate, one for each of the two families, and the one in the capital and the yamen kept one copy. What else could be done.Lin Zhi thought, otherwise, he wouldn't have worked so hard to withhold the deductions. After all, all the deductions were his own. When the little boy became an adult, those shops and fields that gave birth to golden eggs would all have to be exchanged. Take advantage?

Unless, like back then...

A fierce light flashed in Lin Zhi's eyes, and he lowered his head so that no one could see it.

After Lin Song said this, he didn't notice that his youngest son didn't answer the words, and he had a shameful thought in his heart, and said lightly: "Those people you know on the street, don't cut off the contact, you may be able to use them in the future ——Just don’t touch the word gambling anymore, go!”

Lin Zhi replied firmly, and stepped back without mentioning it.It wasn't until he returned to his room and closed the door that he snorted coldly.

If Lin Yu knew what the two father and son were thinking, he would have to sigh that they had a good understanding.But at this time he was listening to Zi Chou's two replies. When he came back earlier, they were left in the Zhang family. Now that there was news, Uncle Zhang sent them back to report the news.

"My uncle said that in one day, the goods you asked for last time should arrive in Gusu. I wonder if you have any orders."

This guy refers to the son of Mrs. Wen that Lin Yu asked Uncle Zhang to get back. After counting the days, I know that it didn't take much effort.Lin Yu held his small chin and said, "Understood, go and call Grandpa Lin, Nanny Qian, and your Team Zhang."

After the three of them came together, he ordered: "Uncle has already got them back, Madam Qian tidied up the room, making it airtight and no one will pass by; Team Zhang, you choose a few honest and reliable ones." These few days are waiting for the distribution; Grandpa Lin, you go to Zhang's house in person, and when you see the uncle, just say what I say, and when the man brings it, I will send someone to pick it up. It's the result." Pointing to the two people in the room who were standing with their hands down, he said, "Tell Zi Chou and the two to follow, and don't let people collide."

The five of them took it separately, and hurriedly retreated to make arrangements.
