Chapter 108 The Rise of Lin Jing



The clerk became good friends with Han Zeyu and told him that if he had any needlework, he could give it to the landlady, who lived not far away.

The old lady was originally a famous embroiderer, but she injured her eyes from crying when her husband died.

Although it was restored well later, it is still not as good as the original one. However, the embroidery and skills are still there, and the charge is not high.

The clerk was only nineteen years old and was a kind-hearted person. Seeing that the old lady was pitiful and the son-in-law didn't like his mother-in-law very much, he tried his best to help the old lady rent out the house and also helped her to attract some small businesses.

Han Zeyu had a very pleasant conversation with the clerk. When they parted, he specifically asked about the old lady's current address and decided to visit her another day.

Yumo wants to find a master. If this person’s embroidery skills are really that good, let Yumo become her apprentice.

He went out for a while and came back to accomplish an important task. Everyone could only admire him.

After resting for one night in the inn, they went to the small courtyard to clean up the next day.

The house inside and outside was very clean, so they fetched some water to clean it, and lit the kang to get rid of the cold. They could move in tomorrow.

After helping with the move, Han Ze'an prepared to return to Qingshan County. The ground has not completely thawed yet, so it will take at least another month to lay the foundation.

He went home first and waited for news from his cousin before bringing people over to start the construction.

Zhao Xun felt that there was nothing he needed to do, so he wanted to go back with them.

Han Zeyu asked doubtfully, "Why don't you just sleep in the same room with Tiezhu? Why are you going back and forth all the time? You're not busy at home."

Zhao Xun waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm afraid Brother Tiezhu will kick me. I'll come with everyone after the spring plowing."

Well, Han Zeyu didn't force it, but just gave Zhao Xun some advice. He had made a lot of money in the past few months, and he took out some to buy tobacco leaves and snacks for the village chief and the elders.

Give the villagers some benefits, such as giving them eggs per person, and let the village grant you your land in advance.

Zhao Xun's eyes sparkled. He wouldn't be twelve until the end of the year, so logically he wouldn't be able to catch up with this year's spring plowing. But if it was as Brother Han said, he might have a good chance of getting the land in advance.

As for the other villagers, since they had gotten a good deal, it didn't make any difference if they got the land a year or two earlier. After all, the land was not taken away from theirs.

Han Zeyu asked her husband to write a letter to the village chief. The first was to talk about hiring people to work in the spring plowing, the second was to ask the villagers to come to the provincial capital to help, and also to ask for the people from last time, and the third was to mention the matter of distributing land to Zhao Xun.

Just say that Zhao Xun’s arable land will be sublet to their family after it is divided, so that the village chief can approve it more readily.

Zhao Xun returned to Yunshan Village with the letter in his arms and full of gratitude. He put aside his usual timidity and handed the letter to the village chief with great confidence.

The village chief had no doubts and was overjoyed when he saw the contents of the letter. Yu Ge'er from the old Han family was really doing well and had opened a shop in the provincial capital.

Many families in the village received chicks and ducklings. Those with small spaces raised chickens, while those living near water and woods raised ducks. They were not in competition with each other. Han Ji had been collecting poultry in large quantities for a long time, so they had no trouble selling eggs and duck eggs.

The village chief's eldest son excitedly asked, "Dad, should I lead the team to the capital in the spring?"

The village chief nodded. It was normal for him to be excited. Even he himself had never been to the provincial capital. He didn't expect that the two brats in his family had gone there first.

In fact, Zhao Xun had more than a thousand coins in his hands, most of which he earned from working in the store. This time he used it all to buy land. Fortunately, the result was good, and he finally owned his own land ahead of time.

A total of ten acres of dry land, and when he is sixteen years old, he will be given five acres of paddy fields.

Yu Mo’s birthday is older than Zhao Xun’s, so the village chief decided to be a good person and divide Yu Mo’s land as well.

Because girls generally get married early, the land is divided all at once, but it only consists of ten acres of dry land and two acres of paddy fields.

Han Yumo was overjoyed when she heard the news. Following her grandmother's advice, she knew that the village chief and the elders had approved it for the sake of her cousin Yu.

Han Yumo didn't know how to express her gratitude. Wang Qin, holding her big pregnant belly, gave her sister-in-law some advice and chose her best embroidery to give to Yuger, saying that the gift was small but the sentiment was great.

The little girl nodded. Apart from that, she really didn't have anything else to offer as a thank you gift.

After Su Shien went to the academy to attend classes, the house suddenly became deserted. Han Zeyu led Tiezhu to print the manuscript and then bind it into books. The second volume of "The Biography of Mu Qing" was freshly published, and he could talk to his close friend Lin Jing about profiting from the cooperation again.

Lin Jing didn't know that his savior was currently trying to take the money out of his pocket, determined not to stop until it was all gone.

The new cakes launched by the pastry shop are all the rage in the city, loved by people of all ages and genders. It's a pity that the cakes are quite expensive and are currently only popular among the middle and upper classes. After all, ordinary people have limited purchasing power.

"Chronicles of the Original Xia Dynasty" is gaining momentum. The thick volume and high price still cannot resist the enthusiasm of consumers. They buy it even if they have to save money.

Some scholars who originally wanted to make handwritten manuscripts gave up because the number of words was too large.

The author of this book is really mean. The number of words in the first volume is astonishing, and the second volume is as thick as a brick. It is really the most hardcore physical anti-theft measure.

Taking advantage of this favorable situation, Mingyang Bookstore quickly promoted another masterpiece by the same author: "The Biography of Mu Qing".

Facts have proved that the female consumer group should not be underestimated. They pursue more exquisite beauty and strongly require Mingyang Bookstore to also make some hardcover books. They are not short of money, but they lack style.

Lin Jing finally felt relieved after receiving the second volume of "The Biography of Mu Qing". He asked the printing factory to speed up the typesetting and printing, and asked the handicraft workshop to produce twenty sets of hardcover copies first.

Lin Jing discovered that although he was unwilling to study and take imperial examinations, he now liked doing business very much. It turned out that everyone likes to fight when the wind is favorable.

Mr. Lin hasn't scolded his son recently because his performance is really outstanding.

Lin's mother was very pleased. She never thought that her son would one day strive to be successful. Moreover, he had been busy with his business recently, so he had less time to get into trouble.

Brother Lin was very happy for his younger brother, but at least you couldn't show it on his face.

Unlike their eldest brother who could keep calm, the other children of the Lin family were not very happy. After all, they were in a competitive relationship. As one gained strength while the other declined, Lin Jing's rise would make them look useless.

The person who has the worst relationship with Lin Jing is his half-brother Lin Yu, but he can't do anything about it either.

Ever since Lin Jing rolled down the hillside, Lin's mother, still in fear, began to suppress the "culprit", determined not to give him the chance to hurt Lin Jing again.
