Delicate Flower - Chapter 77

[Chapter 77 The Secret]

The mother and son turned their heads and saw a handsome man in a purple-red gilt silver brocade robe walking in with a smile on his face.

“Ajue!” Lin shi shouted happily, holding the hand of the maid next to him and was about to stand up, “When did you come here? Why didn’t you say hello in advance, so that I can let your cousin pick you up.

” It was Lin Jue, the nephew of the Lin family’s family.

He is the eldest son of Lin’s brother. He has been beautiful and articulate since he was a child. He is the nephew who is most liked by the Lin family.

Lin Jue didn’t wait for her to stand up, but quickly stepped forward and supported Lin before the little girl reached out her hand.

“Aunt!” He called Lin’s family affectionately, and laughed, “You are nowhere else, didn’t I want to surprise you? I didn’t expect the surprise to turn into a shock!” He said , glanced at Li Duan thoughtfully, and continued to say to Lin: “I didn’t scare you, did I? If I had known this, I should have asked the servant to come and report in advance.”

There was a strong tone in his tone. The meaning of regret made Lin feel distressed, and hurriedly said: “Is your aunt such a timid person? Besides, I don’t dare to brag about anything else. Your aunt is one of the best in terms of housekeeping skills. Can you keep silent? Who else came to my room without making a sound, who else could it be other than you frequent visitors?”

Lin Jue did not deny this.

After saying hello to Li Duan, the two cousins helped Lin to sit down at the round table outside.

The maid served tea.

Mrs. Lin asked Lin Jue, “Are you passing by this time or are you planning to stay for a few days? How are things going on in Huai’an? Is the family’s business okay? Is your father’s health okay?”

Lin Jue said with a smile: “My father is in good health. The family business has been helped by my uncle over the years, and everything has gone well. I came this time because the business in Huai’an has been completed. First, I came to tell my aunt, lest you worry. Second, I want to thank you, if it wasn’t for my uncle’s help, I’m afraid I’d have lost everything this time. Speaking of which, there must be a scholar in this family!”

Lin Shi kept nodding and said, “So I urge your two cousins to study hard.”

Li Yi is now only a fourth-rank prefect, and the business of the Lin family has been improved. If it is like the Pei family , is it not that silver pours into the house like running water?

!

Lin Shi remembered Lin Jue’s eldest son who had just been born, and said, “Although your daughter-in-law’s family is rich, the background is a little worse. In the future, when your eldest cousin becomes a relative, you will bring the child here to raise him. No. It is said that those who read a jinshi and recruit people have to read a scholar. Look at those big families in Hangzhou City, whose

business is top-notch, eight or nine out of ten are from scholars. Only in this way can they match up with those who are officials. If something goes wrong, someone will protect it.”

Lin Jue agreed, nodded again and again, and thanked Lin and Li Duan in advance.

Then he said it with meaning: “It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this time. I came to accompany you and talk to my cousin. It would be better if I could meet the third master of the Pei family.” The

last sentence is the main one, right?

Lin Shi thought about it, but her nephew said it beautifully, and she was still very happy: “Okay! You just stay here for a few more days. There is nothing else in Lin’an City, the scenery is still elegant, and every time you come here, you are in a hurry. Yes, I will stay here for a few more days this time, and let your cousin take you around. If you are bored, take a boat and go to Hangzhou City on the same day.”

Lin Jue immediately got up and thanked him and accompanied him.

Lin chatted for a while, and seeing Lin’s face was a little tired, he and Li Duan said goodbye together, and Li Duan accompanied him to the rest room.

However, as soon as Lin Jue entered the door, he kicked out the boxes around him and the servants who were sent by the Li family to clean the house, closed the door, took out a scroll from a box and handed it to Li Duan with a smile: ” How is it? I said your method won’t work, right? In the end, it’s up to me. Now, Lu Xin’s ‘relic’, look at the map your family is looking for.”

Li Duan said with a sullen smile : “Have you got it?”

Ever since they heard the news that Lu Xin still has a relic, they started to think about the relic.

I just didn’t expect Lin Jue’s idea to go so smoothly.

Li Duan couldn’t help defending himself: “The main thing is that A Jun fell in love with the girl of the Yu family, and I agreed to kill two birds with one stone.”

Although the affairs of the Lu family are progressing smoothly, it is easy for anyone who wants to investigate. Can find out whose hands the painting belongs to.

The profits of the maritime business are too lucrative, in comparison, murder and genocide are nothing at all.

The foundation of the Li family is still too thin to withstand the toss.

What’s more, there is a Pei family pressing on his head.

If the Pei family is allowed to take a share of the pie, then their family will always be able to act according to the eyes of the Pei family, so what future does the Li family have?

What’s the point of his life?

Lin Jue felt proud, but he didn’t want to offend Li Duan, his cousin who might bring infinite benefits to their Lin family in the future. I just didn’t expect that the Yu family would be so stubborn. However, anyway, we have this painting, we have to hurry up, and when the Pei family finds out, this painting has already arrived in the hands of the Peng family. No matter how powerful the Pei family is, they can still surpass Peng’s family. Can’t we

go home?” The

Peng family in Fu’an is the first family in Fujian.

Not only have there been two elders in the family, but the current seventh master of the Peng family, Peng Yu, is also a close minister of the emperor, the censor of the right capital of the Duchayuan, and is in charge of all the officials. Jiang Hua did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Peng Yu.

It was the Peng family who wanted to get this painting.

As for Li Yi, he has been wanting to be transferred to the capital for several years. The Pei family is too old-fashioned and his pace is too slow. He finally managed to catch up with the Peng family. To this painting as a nomination certificate.

It’s just that the foundation of the Li family is in Lin’an. Before forming an interest relationship with the Peng family that can be tightly bound together, the Li family is not willing to offend the Pei family, nor can they offend the Pei family, otherwise, the current Li family will be defeated. But it’s too much to bear, why make so many things?

Li Duan smiled and said nothing.

The Peng family wanted this painting, not because of their Li family, but their Li family, but not because of the Peng family.

It’s useless to say anything now, it’s true that Lin Jue got the painting.

There is no paper in the world that can hold the fire, and Li Duan didn’t think that he could hide it from the Pei family forever.

He asked Lin Jue, “You didn’t come out in person, did you?”

“How could I be so stupid?” Lin Jue felt that his big cousin was a little stupid in reading, so he glanced at Li Duan and said, “Of course. I asked someone else to do it! It was this person, and the confidant around me who contacted me. I just said that this is an ancient painting. I have a way to sell it to people who like it. If I get it at a pawnshop, I will pawn it at the most. It was four or five hundred taels of silver, but after passing through my hands, I could sell it for thousands of taels. That person was fooled. I bought the painting for four hundred taels, and sold it to me for five hundred taels. Although It’s a bit too much, but it’s just like spending money to buy a stop, and I didn’t lower the price for him.”

Knowing that this painting can be sold for thousands of taels, but he bought it for four hundred taels and sold it for five hundred taels, this is also a real person.

Li Duan pretended to take a breath and said with a smile, “This person is not greedy.”

“So, it depends on who you are in doing business.” Lin Jue was a little proud of this and said, “Look at it. I, who followed my father to the south and the north, never had any problems because of the partners. So I said, the Peng family can do great things, and it must be good to follow their family.”

Li Duan was noncommittal.

On this point, he and Lin Jue have opposite views.

He felt that the Peng family was greedy.

Of the nine fleets in Fujian, the Peng family’s fleet is the largest and owns most of the ships in Fujian.

But when their family inadvertently found out that Master Zuo had hidden a nautical map in this painting, they were afraid of being acquired by others, so didn’t they try their best to get it?

However, this is also human nature.

Who wants to add a tiger to his couch?

Li Duan and Lin Jue talked about the painting: “Are we going to send it to Peng’s house just like this? Or should we take a look at the painting first?”

He didn’t think that the Yu family would be able to discover the secrets in this painting, but he was afraid that, as Lu Xin had confessed, even he didn’t know the secrets in this painting, and they ended up taking the wrong thing.

Lin Jue shrewdly said: “Of course we have to find a way to look at the map in this painting. What if the Peng family backs out?”

In addition to inspecting the goods, they had better take the Peng family’s handle and copy the map. To prevent the Peng family from turning over and denying the account.

After all, they are not of the same level as the Peng family. It is easy for the Peng family to deal with them, but it is not easy for them to resist the Peng family.

In particular, there is still a Pei family in the middle – if there is no such thing, they can still ask the Pei family for help. Once the transaction between them and the Peng family is exposed, it will be good if the Pei family does not clean up them, don’t expect the Pei family to return can protect them.

When the two cousins said this, they exchanged glances that they could understand each other.

Li Duan said: “Let me leave this matter.”

Lin Jue’s purpose of staying here for a while is for this matter.

He had to see the map with his own eyes to be relieved!

He will also personally bring this map back to Fujian and send it to the Peng family.

This was also discussed with the Li family at the beginning.

Whether it is the Lin family or the Li family, they are too weak now, and they are only able to build up the family business by holding each other tightly.

The two discussed who to find to reframe the painting.

The news that Yu Tang had been waiting for for a long time finally got an echo.

The person behind the Lu family was indeed Lin Jue.

She thought a lot about this painting.

I felt that if the Li family did not have the help of the Lin family, it would be impossible to do business at sea, then the Lin family must be aware of this matter.

In the past life, the one who had the closest relationship with the Lin family was Lin Jue.

He came far more often than a relative who was thousands of miles away.

Yu Tang figured out a way to draw a portrait of Lin Jue for A Liu, who was selling water pears in Xiaomei Lane, and asked him to stare at the door of Li’s house. As soon as this person came to the door, he immediately told A Tiao.

He showed this portrait to the two brothers of the Qu family, and asked them to stare at the person who had traded with the Lu family to see if the painting finally fell into Lin Jue’s hands.

Fortunately, there were those things from the previous life, she was staring at people, waiting for the result she wanted.
