River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 42
The Lin family is a prominent family in Mingyang Prefecture.

Master Lin's branch, a collateral branch of the Lin family, was sent here seven years ago by the Southern Sect to expand the market and strengthen the clan's business roots.

But as an outsider, even with a clan background, they are not particularly well off in Linzhou County.

The Lin family is mainly engaged in restaurants and carriage business. In this regard, they have to compete with at least three companies.

And two of the three are local forces with deep foundations.

In the first two years since I came here, the Lin family has been dealt with openly and secretly several times, almost going bankrupt and leaving.

Fortunately, the county magistrate of Linzhou County changed that year, and the new magistrate was old with the Lin family, so under his care, the Lin family finally got half a foothold.

In the next few years, Lin Jiasheng was in business, and in just five years, he took up half of the car and horse market here.

The local Song and Yang families were divided into half.

On the surface, it seems that the Lin family is full-fledged, but in fact, as outsiders, they are still like rootless duckweed.

The main reason is that the magistrate of Linzhou County is said to be promoted in the next two years. If he leaves, the Lin family will have nothing to rely on.

It was also for this reason that the Lin family married a daughter to Nie Papi's son first, and then to Ye Shiguan.

The reason is to find someone to take care of after the promotion of Wuzhi County.

But things didn't work out as expected, the Lin family went to find Nie Papi, and Nie Papi's family was sent to prison;

The Lin family went to the Ye family, but Ye Shiguan drowned again for no reason.

There are five native families in Linzhou County.

In the ranking, led by the Zhu family,
Then there are 【Song Family】, 【Yang Family】, 【Ye Family】, 【Liu Family】.

If the Lin family wants to gain a firm foothold in Linzhou County, they must at least make friends with one of the five great families.

It is impossible for [Song Family] and [Yang Family] to overlap with Lin Family in terms of business.

And the Liu family, as the last of the five great families, actually had the weakest background.If it weren't for the fact that there were two Jinshi from the door, they wouldn't be able to rank in the family name at all.

Ye Shiguan's death completely blocked the way for Lin Jiaxun to take care of him.

Now, the Lin family can only hope that the next magistrate will be a good match.

It's best not to have an old relationship with the Song and Yang families,

If at that time, there is really nothing to do, then the Lin family has no choice but to retreat to Linzhou County.

At the beginning of Jiang Ling's wedding, Master Lin didn't care about him at all.

Master Lin didn't even show up on the day of the worship, so it can be seen that he doesn't care about such a good-looking son-in-law at all.

Only the second day after marriage,

Master Lin asked the housekeeper to move Miss Lin and Jiang Ling out of the Lin residence.

Because Ms. Lin didn't marry out, but recruited a family man, so Master Lin also gave them a property to manage by themselves.

That industry is a restaurant.

When the Lin family first came to Zhou County, they ran two lines of restaurants and carriages.

Later, being targeted by the aristocratic family, he restrained himself a little in terms of restaurants, and mainly engaged in the business of carriages and horses.

In recent years, the center of gravity has completely shifted to the carriage and horse business.

The decline of the restaurant has reached the point where it is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now in the entire Linzhou County, there are still two restaurants belonging to the Lin family.

One is in South City and the other is in East City.

The east city is better, but the shopkeeper in the south city estimates that it will probably end this year and stop next year.

The restaurant in Dongcheng that Master Lin runs for Miss Lin.

The intention is probably to support them to support themselves, that's about it.

Jiang Ling was happy to move out of the Lin family and live in a restaurant.

You don't have to look at people's faces in the Lin family, you are always at ease.

The ownership of this restaurant belongs to Ms. Lin in name.

But as a husband-in-law, he is also considered a half master.

Miss Lin, call Yuewei.

And indeed a virtuous and talented man,

On the first day of taking over the restaurant, she took full charge of all affairs.

Take care of things up and down and stay organized.

Jiangling, as a door-to-door uncle, does not need to work hard, he can walk birds and raise flowers every day,

As long as you don't cause trouble, you can eat like this and wait until you die.

This kind of life is indeed good, the only one who is criticized by others is the identity of the doorman.

In recent days, whenever he went out, people would point at him and talk about it.

The talker spoke sarcastically and looked disdainfully.

Jiang Ling didn't care about this.

Knowing and doing it, this is the change of his state of mind.

He doesn't care what other people think, what to say?
Like Yan Chixia, he knew that the court was dark, so he stayed away from the officialdom and escaped from the world.

This approach seems free and easy, but in essence it is an escape.

It's more cowardice.

If it were Jiang Ling, with his mentality, so what if it was darkness?What about corruption?
If I become an official, if you corrupt the court, then I will be a corrupt official.

If you want to lose, then let's all lose together.

Why not?
Perhaps this kind of casualness is better than Yan Chixia's avoidance.This caused a huge change in the size of his meta pool.

After understanding the key to this, Jiang Ling also let go of his nature, and his mentality was more casual.

Every day I only take my maid Xiaoke to play around,

Xiao Ke pays for everything she eats and buys.

The maid Xiaoke followed the new uncle as a purse, and never felt annoyed.

Because from the bottom of her heart, she adores and admires this new uncle.

In just three days, Jiang Ling enjoyed everything that Linzhou County could eat and play.

On the fourth day, the freshness gradually faded, and his interest also faded.

But the maid, Xiao Ke, is like a bird in a cage, wanting to go wild every day.

In the past, she followed the young lady and was trapped in her boudoir for a long time. How could she have the opportunity to wander around?
Now that he is arranged to be served by his uncle, he has the opportunity to play around.

For the first three days, she never tired of following up and down,
Early this morning, she even took the initiative to ask him,

"Uncle, uncle, where are we going today?"

Jiang Ling said: "In the past few days, we have tried everything we can play and eat. Tell me, what else is new?"

The servant girl, Xiao Ke, was sixteen years old and sold into the Lin family when she was eight years old.

Although she is a maid, she has a carefree temper.

It just formed an inverse ratio of movement and silence with Ms. Lin.

"The master said that as long as my uncle doesn't go to the brothel, you can go to everything else. Today is the [-]th day, and the Town God's Temple is very lively, why don't we go there and have a look?"

The little girl looked forward to it, her eyes flickering, she couldn't wait.

Town God's Temple?
'Isn't that the City God's Department? '

Thinking that he had heard the name of City God's Secretary for a long time, but hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he said: "Alright, then let's go to the City God's Temple today to have a look."

With Jiang Ling's permission, the little girl cheered happily, and accompanied him out the door with a purse in hand.

On the way, when the neighbors saw Jiangling, they couldn't help pointing at him again.

A few days ago, Xiao Ke saw it in her eyes and was annoyed in her heart.

Today, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded the neighbor a few times when passing by.

After scolding, he asked Jiang Ling angrily: "Uncle, aren't you angry when those people say that about you?"

Those people spoke loudly, and she knew that Jiang Ling must also be able to hear them.

She even felt annoyed when she heard those harsh words. As the person involved, why did Jiang Ling remain calm and calm, as if it had nothing to do with her?

Jiang Ling smiled gently, as if coming from the sun.

Said: "If someone wants to talk, let him talk. Anyway, I won't lose a piece of meat, will I?"
