While the two in-laws were busy preparing to build a mansion for the young couple, Lin Yun, who was far away in Jinling, encountered a trouble.

Although the first batch of dozens of rickshaws put into the terminal were welcomed by tourists because of their low prices, they encountered strong resistance from the original forces that monopolized the terminal's transportation business.

As long as a rickshaw puller is alone, he will be attacked by local gangsters. The number of smashed rickshaws increases by two or three every day.

Feng Ziying led her men to catch a few gangsters who were wreaking havoc, but they were unable to find out who was behind the scenes. Some rickshaw pullers were worried about being beaten and asked to quit.

After Zhong Yi inquired around, he finally found out that the land transportation business at various docks in Jiangnan was controlled by an organization called the Sihai Gang. The leader of this gang was Mr. Zhu, and he had more than 100,000 people under his command. These people

They all rely on the transportation business at the dock to make a living.

The first thing the promotion of rickshaws threatens is the foundation of the Sihai Gang, so they will naturally try every means to destroy it.

Lin Yun asked someone to send a message to the leader of the Sihai Gang, planning to meet with him to discuss a mutually beneficial solution.

…

Although the promotion of the rickshaw was not ideal, the perfume shop opened smoothly and the business was booming.

Suzhou is very close to Jinling, and the perfume sold there has long been spread.

The ladies of Jinling and their girls are all very keen on perfume. Now that it is sold around us, there is no need to look far away and send people to Suzhou to buy it.

Those who have the strongest purchasing power of perfume are the famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River. In order to please the customers who spend a lot of money, a bottle of perfume costing ten taels of silver is just drizzle in their eyes.

…

March 28th was Lin Yun's first holiday after entering the Imperial College.

It was a rare day for him to rest, so Lin Yun prepared to take a good nap. Although he thought well, he was woken up by Xiang Ling early in the morning.

When Lin Yun opened his eyes, he saw that Xiang Ling had already dressed up, and said anxiously to him: "Third Master, Uncle Xue of the Xue family sent someone to deliver a message saying that his uncle has died of illness."

"oh,"

Lin Yun was not surprised when he heard this, but was a little curious. Xue Pan's second uncle died. Why did he send someone to deliver a letter to him? Could it be that he wanted him to go to express condolences? It was affordable.

After washing, Lin Yun asked people to call the people from the Xue family who came to report the news and asked for details.

It turns out that Xue Pan's second uncle Xue Shang died of heart disease on the way back to Jinling. Heart disease is also a heart disease. It must have been due to the lack of medical treatment on the way that Xue Shang died.

The person who reported the news asked Lin Yunken: "Third Master, our uncle said that there are no men in the two houses of the Xue family who can take charge. I would like to ask the Third Master to come over and help calm the situation."

Lin Yun thought to himself, "This is probably Aunt Xue's idea. It's strange that Xue Pan, the cheater, can think of these joints."

…

After eating something in a hurry, Lin Yun changed into plain clothes and rode with a few guards to Xue Mansion.

Uncle Xue Pan's mansion was located next to the Xue family. When Lin Yun rushed outside the mansion, the place was already covered with white flags and there were bursts of crying.

As soon as Lin Yung dismounted in front of the mansion, he saw a man who looked like a steward approaching him and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin?"

"It's down there."

"Sir, please come quickly. Our uncle has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

Lin Yun asked people to offer sacrifices, and then followed the steward to the mansion. Along the way, he met almost all the guests who came to express condolences, strangers.

He thought to himself: "It seems that the Xue family has quite a lot of relatives and friends in Jinling. Now that Xue Pan has not been involved in a lawsuit, Uncle Xue is still dead. I wonder if Aunt Xue will bring her family to Beijing."

Lin Yun followed the steward into the mourning hall decorated in the inner house, and saw four people kneeling in front of the mourning hall, wearing sackcloth and mourning. In addition to Xue Pan, whom he knew, there was also a pair of young boys and girls, who must have been Xue Pan's hall.

Brother Xue Biao and cousin Xue Baoqin.

Next to the little girl, there was a foreign woman with blond hair and blue eyes sitting on her knees. She was pretty and looked very young, as if she was only in her twenties.

Lin Yun followed the others and came forward to worship. When passing by Xue Pan, he saw that Xue Pan's eyes were swollen from crying. It was obvious that this person was really crying.

After Xue Pan returned Lin Yun's salute, he said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Lin, wait for me outside. I will talk to you later."

Lin Yun nodded, said nothing more, turned around and followed the guest out the door.

As soon as he walked out, he saw a woman coming up to him and asked him, "Is this Mr. Lin Yunlin?"

Lin Yun: "It's me."

"Our wife invites Third Master to speak inside."

"Who is your wife?"

"Our wife is Uncle Xue's mother."

"As expected, Aunt Xue wants to talk to me."

…

It was indeed Aunt Xue's idea to invite Lin Yun to express her condolences. There was nothing she could do about it. Xue Shang's death had made things worse for her Xue family.

Now there are only two underage boys left in the Xue family. With such a huge industry, without a man to support it, you don’t know what the outcome will be like.

Just last night, Aunt Xue met with the eldest brother of the Wang family to discuss what the Xue family should do in the future.

Wang Zisheng gave her an idea, asking her to move her family to Beijing and join the Jia family in order to develop.

Aunt Xue couldn't make up her mind for a while, but her daughter Baochai finally persuaded her and invited Lin Yun over to ask what his opinion was.

Although Aunt Xue didn't think Lin Yun had any good ideas, she still asked Xue Pan to send someone to invite Lin Yun.

…

Aunt Xue, mother and daughter Baochai were visiting the ill Xia family in the inner house. When they heard that Lin Yun had arrived, Aunt Xue led Baochai out to meet him.

Baochai was also very curious about this brother of the Lin family, so she did not refuse and went out with her mother to meet the guests.

When Lin Yun saw Aunt Xue, he stepped forward and saluted: "Lin Yun has met Aunt Xue, and I would like to ask her to express her condolences and take care of herself."

Aunt Xue wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Thank you so much for coming to express your condolences. Baochai, come and see your brother Lin."

Baochai stepped forward, bowed to Lin Yun and saluted, "Little sister, pay homage to brother Lin."

Lin Yun quickly returned the greeting and said, "Sister, you don't have to be polite."

While speaking, he secretly took a look at Baochai. Although the little girl was also wearing mourning clothes, her eyes were neither red nor swollen, nor were there tears on her face, nor did she have the sad expression of Xue Pan.

Lin Yun thought to himself: "Could it be that this Sister Bao is really a heartless person?"

Baochai felt a little uncomfortable when Lin Yun looked at her, so she shyly turned around and hid behind her mother.

Aunt Xue didn't pay attention to this. After she asked Lin Yun to sit down, she asked straight to the point: "Brother Yun, Auntie has something to ask you, and I hope you can tell me directly."

Lin Yun said hurriedly: "Auntie, please tell me."

Aunt Xue: "Pan'er's second uncle unfortunately died of illness, leaving orphans and widows in these two houses. From now on, whether the Xue family's business should be reduced or maintained, please help me make an idea."

Lin Yun thought for a while and said: "If aunt wants to keep the Xue family's huge industry, she must invite a business partner to run the business together. Otherwise, with the current situation of the Xue family, it will be impossible to control those outside management. .”

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked: "When we welcome a partner, how do we know that others will not take the opportunity to seize my Xue family's property?"

Lin Yun: "This kind of thing is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly for a while. In my opinion, aunt should shrink the Xue family's property and only retain some high-quality assets. The other properties that are difficult to control should be sold as soon as possible. It’s better to drop it.”

Aunt Xue asked tentatively: "Brother Yun, would you like to partner with our Xue family to run an outside industry?"

Lin Yun shook his head and said: "I don't have the energy. To be honest with my aunt, the rickshaw project I am promoting has encountered great resistance. I have been racking my brains over this matter and have no intention of thinking about anything else."

Just when Aunt Xue was about to speak again, a little maid came in from outside and reported: "Madam, Mr. Lin's entourage said that he has something urgent to do with him."

Lin Yun stood up hurriedly after hearing this and said, "Auntie, please take care of yourself. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he quickly ran out of the hall.

Aunt Xue shook her head with a wry smile. She originally thought that Lin Yun was helping the Xue family to covet their Xue family's property. Unexpectedly, after the trial just now, they didn't look down on their Xue family's things.

Baochai had similar thoughts to Aunt Xue at the beginning, thinking that Lin Yun must have some agenda in dating Xue Pan.
