16 016 Rare Guests
◎Emma! Why are you still rushing to make trouble?◎
Mo Yu began to feel drowsy before he even left Panxiang Temple. The long journey did not wake him up. When he got back to the Lin family and was about to get off the car, he finally woke up.
So he did not miss a good show.
After all, they had found their home. This opportunity was rare. If he missed it, it would be a pity.
Yes, the couple Zhen Yingjia were waiting at the gate of their Lin Mansion, eagerly waiting for Jia Min and the others to come back.
This was really a rare guest.
You know, the Zhen family has always boasted that they are superior to others. If the Wang family is known as the "King of Jinling", then the Zhen family dares to call themselves the "Hegemon of Jiangnan"...
It can be said that not only Jinling Province, but also Suzhou, Yangzhou, Hangzhou, and the entire Jiangnan region are under their sphere of influence. What is a local emperor? This is their family. In short, they are as arrogant as they can be,
and as arrogant as they can be. Not to mention that they cover the sky with one hand, but they are basically the law of the land. Not to mention marriage, even for daily interactions, they can only choose the royal family, and at worst, the four kings. Even the eight lords don't look down on them, let alone the Lin family, whose ancestors were once rich but are now declining.
What?
You said that Lin Ruhai himself is very capable and the Lin family will soon be able to revive in his hands?
Are you kidding?
The Lin family had been short of children for several generations, and when it came to Lin Ruhai, they almost didn't even have a son... After all, they finally had a son, but he was sick and sick, and it was not certain whether he could be raised.
The other branches of the Lin family were in a similar situation.
As the saying goes, one person can't do anything alone. Even if Lin Ruhai was very capable, how much could he accomplish?
Unlike the Zhen family, not only did they have a large population, but the sons became officials and the daughters became princesses. It was simply too awesome.
It can be said that except for the Jia family, which had two Dukes Ning and Rong and was an old relative, the Zhen family looked down on all other aristocratic families, powerful and wealthy people.
As for Lin Ruhai's wife Jia Min, who was also from the Jia family, they also didn't think much of her either - the old lady from the Zhen family, yes, the one who had been a wet nurse to Master Kang, had even discussed this matter with her daughter-in-law, sons, grandsons, and granddaughters-in-law as a joke.
The gist was that the old lady from the Jia family must have been old and out of her mind, choosing such a poor man as a husband for her favorite youngest daughter. It was really... I don't know what she was thinking, she ruined a good hand.
This was not surprising, after all, their Zhen family was in its heyday, how could they understand the benefits of retreating at the right time and transforming quickly.
Putting aside other things, in this regard, the old lady from the Jia family was still a step ahead of the old lady from the Zhen family.
However, it is a pity that Mrs. Jia still has a common problem of rich families, that is, she is too greedy.
Wanting everything will definitely result in getting nothing.
Since she has already married her youngest daughter to the noble Lin family, and expressed to the royal family her determination to give up military and pursue literature, why did she send her eldest granddaughter Jia Yuanchun to the palace for no reason?
It's a pity that if she tries to please both sides, she will definitely not please either side. This good move made twenty years ago was really wasted. After all
, the Jia family is still the same as the Zhen family, laughing at one step at fifty and eating the date pill.
Mo Yu sighed and yawned, wanting to see what the couple was doing here.
After all, judging from their personalities, they would definitely come to the palace for no reason.
Thinking about the harvest from the last visit to the Gusu Palace, oh, no, it was the Zhen family's Gusu Villa, and seeing the couple's expressions like a bereaved dog at this moment, Mo Yu suddenly became energetic - ah, it's the taste of fresh melon! I must eat it!
Mo Yu immediately changed to a more comfortable position in the arms of the nanny and prepared to start eating melon.
System 006 was also very smart and immediately started broadcasting the latest gossip to him.
It turned out that Master Kang was going to send someone to check the accounts.
[Emma, the capital is really going to check the accounts. This action is faster than expected, but why is it like this? Could it be that there is really a big boss from the Sticking Rod Department? ]
[Huh? ]
[Who of you is from the Sticking Rod Department? ]
[Come out and show me? 】
System 006: Stop it, host. Do you think you are Wang Shagen? (No)
Wansui Ye sent people to the Zhen family to check the accounts?
Oh my!
Jia Min and others were shocked when they heard the news. Well, after being shocked so many times, I feel like I have gradually gotten used to it. Anyway,
apart from anything else, my facial expression control is getting better and better.
Jia Min was the first to recover from the shock. She smiled politely and took the initiative to greet Zhen Yingjia and his wife:
"Hey, cousin, why did you come here in person today? You didn't even send someone to tell us first. You came all the way here, and we happened to be out today. It's really rude to keep you waiting for so long... Oh, why are you still standing outside the door? Come in and sit down."
Jia Min was very enthusiastic and pretended that she didn't hear Mo Yu's thoughts at all - what a joke, this has already involved the movements of the royal family, it's not a joke, you have to pretend that you know nothing.
Even if you don't pretend to be like that, it doesn't matter, anyway, no one can bring this up, isn't it stable.
Love whoever you want, let's just focus on "knowing nothing about anything".
Jia Min warmly welcomed Zhen Yingjia and his wife into the Lin residence, and politely invited them to sit in the main courtyard - leaving aside other things, there was really no point in standing at the door to talk.
The couple didn't feel tired, but she felt embarrassed.
If they had anything to say, they should go inside and talk. Besides, it was warm inside, and maybe their brother Mo would be happy and "talk" more, which would be even better.
Jia Min happily arranged everyone, and then sat in the main seat and looked at Zhen Yingjia and his wife with a smile, but in fact she pricked up her ears to listen to whether Mo Yu, who was "pretending to sleep" in the arms of the wet nurse not far away, had any gossip to reveal.
Not only her, but almost everyone in the Lin family had this attitude.
Emma, my brother is showing his "miracle" again, I wonder what gossip we will eat today!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
We wanted to hear more...
and Mo Yu did not disappoint them, and soon told them about the severe challenge that the Zhen family was facing this time.
It seemed that someone had reported to Master Kang that there was a problem with the public bank account of Jiangning Textile Factory, which was managed by Zhen Yingjia - that was for sure.
Although Master Kang favored the Zhen family, he could not tolerate it indefinitely, so after receiving the secret report and the impeachment, he had no choice but to go with the flow and investigate.
In this way, the Zhen family would be in big trouble.
Because, the loss was so big that they could not pay it back even if they sold their entire family.
Tell me, who wouldn't be angry? When you are anxious, you will easily seek help from all directions. Look, he even took the initiative to come to the Lin family, whom he usually despises, to seek goodwill from Jia Min, his cousin whom he didn't have much contact with, and most importantly, to ask for help. It's
really, it's too shameful to watch...
Relying on his young age, he doesn't need to be too polite. While lying comfortably in the arms of his nanny and "pretending to sleep", Mo Yu mercilessly complained about Zhen Yingjia and his wife.
He originally despised such a sycophantic and dog-eyed villain, and this family is really stupid, vicious, lustful, and greedy. It can be said that they have all the five poisons. There is no face left for him to save, so he just destroys them.
Besides, he was just complaining in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. He just felt happy secretly and satisfied his imagination. It shouldn't matter.
Mo Yu felt happy thinking about it, but he didn't know that everyone present had heard his thoughts clearly. The
Lin family members listened with great interest, and even wanted Mo Yu to "think" more. The Zhen family members were on pins and needles, and wanted to flee on the spot.
However, they all knew in their hearts that what Mo Yu "said" was true, and he even knew more than they did. Therefore, they really wanted to leave but couldn't bear to leave. If they didn't leave, it would be too embarrassing. It was so uncomfortable.
Zhen Yingjia and his wife were of course the two most uncomfortable people here. In fact, they had already had a vague guess before they came, and estimated that someone in the Lin family had this special ability, but it was still quite shocking to really hear this voice again.
In particular, he was right again this time - it was indeed the Lord who sent people to inquire about the accounts of the Jiangning Textile Factory over the years.
Originally, his family had been in charge of the Jiangning Textile Factory for two consecutive generations, which was a lucrative job. His father was even more of a business genius, and he made the silk business under his jurisdiction flourish and made a lot of money.
Although his father and elder brother died young, he took over the position and did not abandon the business, nor did he eat less money... But no matter how rich he was, he could not stop his family from eating and drinking without restraint, especially when he had to entertain Emperor Kang on his tours to the south again and again. It was really like spending money like water and making money like climbing a mountain. In one word, it was difficult.
If Emperor Kang came again this time, this would be the fourth time they would receive him.
The first three times he stayed at their house, and they even built a palace for him. There was more than one place, not to mention the big palace next to the Jiangning Textile Factory in Nanjing, there was also one in Suzhou, and there was another in Yangzhou... If this continued, their family would really go bankrupt.
But as long as the job of Jiangning Textile Factory is still there, it will only take a little longer to make up for the loss of money. No, it should be made up. Unfortunately, the emperor got some news and is going to check the accounts.
I heard that he sent the most capable and selfless Fourth Prince to do the job. This...
I have to think of a solution quickly.
Although I don't know what magical powers these people in the Lin family have, but since this voice knows so many things, maybe there is a way to help them tide over the difficulties?
Originally, they should have asked Lin Ruhai for help in this matter, but firstly, they had no friendship with Lin Ruhai, and secondly, they really couldn't wait any longer...
Seeing that the people led by the Fourth Prince were about to arrive, and Lin Ruhai had no idea where to investigate the case, they had no choice but to shamelessly come to Jia Min's house.
Because they came in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to hand in the invitation, the couple just hitched a car and came here...
As a result, they were ridiculed as soon as they arrived. Although Zhen Yingjia and his wife were very angry, they didn't dare to show it, for fear of offending the "god" of the Lin family who could predict life and death but could only be heard but not seen...
Seeing that Jia Min was quite polite to them, Zhen Yingjia finally plucked up the courage to humbly say to Jia Min: "Fourth sister! We really have no other choice! So we shamelessly come to beg you, please ask Brother-in-law Lin to say a few good words for us in front of Fourth Master..."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Yu almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
[Emma, so the two of you are just rushing here to make trouble, right? You are so arrogant. Who are you? You just open your mouth and ask for help... Why should I help you? Just because you are arrogant, because you look down on others? 】
