Chapter 26 Make money! Make a lot of money!
Three without a thousand gold?

Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows. The Censor was not even pretending and was directly using this title to mock him.

After hearing Aunt Mu's explanation, she certainly knew her famous nickname.

The so-called "three no's" refers to the fact that Lin Zhiqing has no family background, no talent, and no character.

This is certainly not a nice nickname.

The Censor shouted at him in front of everyone, which clearly showed that he disliked him and wanted to insult him.

"Zhiqing thanks you for the compliment, sir." Lin Zhiqing lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly.

This remark quickly drew a sneer from the Censor, and Lin Congli's face also looked unhappy.

The reason is simple: only a fool would take this as a compliment.

The servants of the Lin family did not dare to say anything, but the people brought by the Censor laughed without any scruples.

"It's said that the girls of the Lin family are not presentable. Today I see that it is indeed true."

"Lin Zhiqing has impeccable looks, but he's so clueless he can't even tell the difference between good and bad."

"Don't you even look at who her parents are? What good can a traitor teach her?"

Seeing that everyone's words were getting more and more excessive, Lin Zhiqing glanced at the Supervisory Censor who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai:
"The Book of Rites: Confucius at Leisure" records that music without sound, ritual without form, and mourning without formal attire are the three "nothings."

There was a smile in her voice. "These three refer to the inner conduct, but without any specific shape or form. The censor used this to praise my inner soul, and I am deeply grateful."

In just a few words, she changed the meaning of "three withouts are worth a thousand gold", and she used a famous quote from "The Book of Rites". If anyone refuted it, it meant that they did not agree with "The Book of Rites".

These words made the Censor feel a little embarrassed. His brows were furrowed, the corners of his eyes were raised, and his pupils were dilated.

This is a typical expression of surprise.

Lin Zhiqing understood in his heart, and he was surprised that he could actually say such words.

The original owner's parents died early, and his status in the Lin family was awkward and he was not treated well.

For such a person, Lin Congli and others naturally would not ask about his knowledge, education, etc.

This resulted in the original owner growing up to be a wooden beauty with "only beauty but no substance", and she became the object of ridicule by all the ladies.

But starting from today... Lin Zhiqing lowered her eyes. She would no longer face those malicious intentions numbly.

Lin Congli had never thought that Lin Zhiqing would actually say such a thing. While he was surprised, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how bad Lin Zhiqing is, she is still a member of the Lin family. The Censor's reckless humiliation of her is a slap in the face of the Lin family.

If his words "three no's worth a thousand gold" were to be spread today, it would not only damage the reputation of the Lin family, but would also affect the marriage prospects of the girls of the Lin family.

The Censor calmly took a sip of tea from his cup. "As expected of Lin...Lin Congrong's daughter...she's really sharp-tongued!"

When Lin Congrong was mentioned, everyone who had just changed their opinion of Lin Zhiqing instantly showed an expression of disgust on their faces.

This expression remained in Lin Zhiqing's mind until the Censor left.

……

When returning to the courtyard, Aunt Mu saw that Lin Zhiqing was in a bad mood and couldn't help but comfort her: "Miss, the censor is a mean person. Don't take what they say to heart."

Lin Zhiqing nodded, she was not thinking about this.

What happened today made her realize a point that she had overlooked.

After sending Aunt Mu away, Lin Zhiqing looked at the flickering candle and took out the Wangshu Mirror again.

In the dim candlelight, there was a lingering sadness in her eyes.

The Lin family is not her safe haven.

Before this, she had always wanted to start a new business with Aunt Mu after the matter of her cousin’s poisoning was resolved and work hard on her own.

Because she always felt that she still had two hands and would not starve to death.

But in the past few days, Lin Zhiqing discovered a very sad reality from the behavior of Aunt Mu and the people around her.

Women in this world are subject to many restrictions. Not only are they not allowed to do business, but they can only receive education until the age of twelve.

For a woman like her, leaving the protection of her family is almost a dead end.

Plus... Lin Zhiqing touched the Wangshu Mirror in his hand and sighed.

She now realizes that she is inextricably tied to the three words "Lin Congrong".

Who is Lin Congrong?
Lin Zhiqing's father, the great hero in Aunt Mu's words, is also the brother that Lin Congli is reluctant to mention, and is also a "traitor" known to the entire Shengjing City.

Therefore, not only was she branded as the "daughter of the traitor Lin Congrong", but the entire Lin family was also branded as the "family of the traitor Lin Congrong".

As the daughter of Lin Congrong, Lin Zhiqing's every move was monitored by countless people. The fact that the imperial court had planted people in the Lin family made Lin Zhiqing shudder.

Moreover, this matter is an unspoken secret among the Lin family, and no one dares to break this window paper.

If there is any unusual movement in the Lin family one day, the first person to suffer will be Lin Zhiqing, whose identity is the most sensitive. She believes that the Lin family will abandon her without hesitation.

The title of "traitor" is like a big knife, always hanging over your neck. If you are not careful, you will die. This feeling is certainly not pleasant.

But the way to start a new business has been blocked. If Lin Zhiqing wants to survive and take the initiative, he can only act within the Lin family.

Thinking of this, her eyes gradually became firm.

If she wants to control her own destiny and protect herself, there is only one way to go - control the Lin family!
The world is in a difficult situation today, and the situation in Shengjing is even more turbulent.

Although he had just escaped danger, Lin Zhiqing could feel that there were still many crises in this peaceful and prosperous Shengjing.

It was as if there was an invisible giant hand controlling everything in the dark, and as if there were countless pairs of eyes watching, trying to drag everyone into the abyss.

Therefore, we must become stronger!

First, take control of the Lin family, eliminate external forces, cultivate your own power, and then take the initiative into your own hands.

This is the only way to save your life and live a better life in this world.

As for how to control the Lin family?

Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly, thinking about all the known information.

The Lin family now has only one Lin Congli in charge on the surface, but in fact there is also a second grandfather and a fourth uncle who are in charge.

These three people are currently the real rulers of the Lin family.

If Lin Zhiqing wants to control the Lin family, he must first gain power over these three.

Whether through influence, control, seeking or commanding, as long as the power in the hands of these three people can be used, Lin Zhiqing can let go and act, making the Lin family an iron plate, and then grow and develop.

However, it is not an easy task to obtain the right to use the power held by these three people.

Let’s talk about Lin Congli first. During the investigation of this case, his preconceived impression of himself should have changed.

But this person is an old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to adapt. He would probably have a lot of objections to Lin Zhiqing, a woman, wanting to be in power.

But in a sense, Lin Congli holds the family's legislative power.

What is right and what is wrong are all governed by clan and family rules.

Even in many clans, family rules are more important than imperial laws.

Lin Congli holds this power in the Lin family, so he is also the most old-fashioned and respected person.

This has a lot to do with his dedication to duty and his adherence to principles over the years.

Therefore, it is very difficult to influence or even replace Lin Congli.

The second person in power is Fourth Uncle... He also has a difficult time!

After all, Lin Zhiqing personally sent his daughter back to his hometown, and this contradiction is almost irreconcilable.

However, Fourth Uncle holds the power over personnel, which is also very important.

The purchase and appointment of all maids and servants in the Lin family, as well as the position changes of managers, housekeepers, guards, etc., were all considered and determined by the fourth uncle.

Fighting for power with a sophisticated and intelligent person like Fourth Uncle might be more difficult than fighting for power with a conservative person like Lin Congli!
Excluding these two people, the only one left is Lin Zhiqing's second grandfather.

She had traveled here and had never met this elder.

I heard from Aunt Mu that this second grandfather is in charge of the financial power of the Lin family and has been doing business outside.

The Lin family's business seems to be not doing well in the past two years, and the second grandfather is busy and exhausted.

He even seemed to have wanted to announce publicly that he was quitting his job many times, and he also had thoughts of splitting up the family business.

The reason lies in the word "money"!

The second grandfather controlled the family's external industries and internal salary distribution and other financial and economic powers.

If Lin Zhiqing wants to gain his recognition, or more simply, squeeze him out and take that position, he needs to know how to make money!

Or she could let Second Grandpa see her ability and make her the main person in the future, but this was basically impossible, as financial power could generally only be held by one person.

Otherwise, if she wants to invest in one industry and her second grandfather wants to invest in another industry, and they only have one share of money, which one should they invest in?

Therefore, the best way is to let Second Grandfather, Lin Congli, Fourth Uncle, and even everyone in the Lin family know and recognize it... She, Lin Zhiqing, controls the financial power and can only do better than Second Grandfather.

In this way, after she has control of the financial power, she can slowly change the Lin family based on the knowledge from her previous life.

Therefore, the top priority is to make money!
Make big money!
