Second Uncle Lin raised his head and looked up at the sky, putting on a look of compassion. He secretly went over what his sister-in-law told him in his mind, and then said, "Neighbors, you may have heard that my sister-in-law returned to her parents' home with her two children last month.

On the way back to Xuanzhou, they encountered robbers. Thanks to the effective protection of the bodyguards and the kind help of the people in Wusha Town, Qi County, the three of them escaped. On the way back to Xuanzhou, they encountered a big flood again, but thanks to the help of Guanyin Bodhisattva

Bless me, I waited in the temple until the Lin family came to pick up the big ship."

Everyone had heard that something happened to the Lin family's mistress on her way back to her parents' home, but they didn't expect it to be so tortuous. No wonder the Lin family's mistress fell ill after she returned.

Who can avoid getting sick when encountering something like this?

Song Tianxiang said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me how much food your Lin family donated?"

Mr. Lin's eyes fell on Song Tianxiang, "My eldest sister-in-law has promised the prefect that the Lin family will fully support the court's disaster relief and will never send a penny of national wealth. Yesterday, the Yamen ordered epidemic prevention medicinal materials, and my Lin family received half of the quantity. Song

Young Master said yes or no?"

Song Tianxiang was choked uncomfortably, and retorted, "Your medicinal materials business is the largest, and you have the most medicinal materials in your library. If you don't mix your medicinal materials, whose medicines will be mixed with yours?"

"that is!"

"I want to provide relief, but I still can't fill my stomach, so how can I help?"

The people followed suit.

"My family's business is so big that three generations of my ancestors worked hard to earn it. Every penny was earned!" You don't have money because your ancestors didn't live up to expectations, and you yourself don't live up to expectations either!

Mr. Lin looked around with a serious face. Seeing that no one was complaining anymore, he continued, "When I paid homage to my late father just now, my sister-in-law already informed my late father that she wanted to donate 200 shi of food to help the court in disaster relief. In addition, the Lin family shop

The medicinal materials, cloth, clothing and other goods inside have been mobilized for disaster relief by the court. As long as the purchase price of the goods does not increase and the freight price does not increase, all the goods in all the stores of our Lin family will not increase by a penny!"

"When there is a big disaster every year, my Lin family will not be able to make a penny of the national wealth!"

Mr. Lin's words were resounding, and the people were excited when they heard the words, cheering and applauding in unison. Song Tianxiang's face was uglier than eating shit. Just as ugly as his face was He Jiongming hidden in the crowd.

In the carriage, Lin Ruyu's little face was flushed, her eyes were bright, and her heart was beating hard. The people's applause directly lifted most of the weight of the huge stone in her heart. She felt relaxed all over, and even her breathing became much smoother.

This feeling is difficult to describe in words, but it can actually be felt.

In cooperating with the court to provide disaster relief, her mother had not originally intended to go to such an extent, but it was Lin Ruyu who persuaded her to cooperate fully. In disaster years, merchants hoard and prices soar, so they can indeed make a lot of money. The Lin family has grown up to be a big success, and what they are short of now is not money.

But after the world is in chaos and public resentment boils, who can be alone?

Although Lin Ruyu in her previous life rarely went out, she also knew that the outside world was getting more and more chaotic. The servants in the family who went out to buy things had to be followed by several nurses. Otherwise, not only would their money and materials be robbed, but their lives might also be at risk.

The city of Xuanzhou is in such chaos, and the situation outside the city must be even worse.

The Lin family is the largest drug dealer in Xuanzhou City, the top three in cloth business, the top four in shipping, and there are several grain stores. The most comprehensive merchants in Xuanzhou City, besides the Zhao family and the Wang family, are the Lin family. Only the Lin family

Taking the lead in responding to the court's disaster relief, even if other companies rose, they would not dare to overdo it...

If prices and people's livelihood are stabilized, Xuanzhou will not be in chaos.

As long as the prefect mentions a few words about the Lin family in the papers handed over to the capital, and praises the Lin family in the reward papers issued from the palace, and then gives the Lin family a brand or a nominal title, the Lin family will transform from ordinary merchants to benevolent ones. Business or even official status.

By then, anyone who wants to take advantage of the Lin family will have to think carefully.

The more she thought about it, the happier Lin Ruyu smiled.

When the second uncle arrived in front of the carriage and her mother raised the curtain to talk to him, Lin Ruyu couldn't stop the smile on her face and had to lower her head immediately.

Everyone who was looking at the car eagerly was stunned by this moment of youthfulness.

"Beautiful, so beautiful..."

Zheng Changming's cold red phoenix eyes were shining with heat, and he remained silent for a long time after the car curtain fell.

When he was able to regain his senses, He Jiongming, the prince of Prince An behind him, lowered his head to hide the anger on his face when the car curtain was raised.

The Lin family ruined all his plans today!

Shen Ge, who arrived later, was stunned on the spot. He couldn't hear or see anything at the moment. He could only see Lin Ruyu's bright and dazzling smile.

However, Shen Ge's appearance did not seem out of place, because most of the people around him were like this. On the contrary, He Jiong, who had his head lowered, was obviously out of place.

The Lin family's carriage continued to move forward, and Zheng Changming ran after him. Shen Ge subconsciously grabbed him. Zheng Changming shook him twice but did not shake him off. He turned back and glared, and was stunned when he saw Shen Ge's appearance.

This little brother looks so familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere...

After Shen Ge came to his senses, he realized that he was very rude and quickly put his hands down and clasped his fists, "May I ask if you are Mr. Zheng Changming, the famous Hezhou divine painter?"

Um?

Hezhoushen painter?

Do you still have such a title outside?

Zheng Changming couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and raised his hand to return the salute, "This is Hezhou Zheng Changming, who is your brother?"

Shen Ge said with a smile on his face, "Shen Ge is in Wusha Town, Xiaqi County. I am studying under Mr. Dongzhu of Wusha Town. I have something to ask of you today. I wonder if you will have some free time?"

If others were to stop him from pursuing the beauty, he would have no time, but when this young man with unique vision and good looks stopped him, Zheng Changming could barely have time.

It was only a few dozen steps from the street to the teahouse, and Shen Ge and Zheng Changming were already treating each other affectionately as brothers, which made An Jiangchun behind him want to roll his eyes.

He Jiongming and An Jiachun went back to the car and stood guard. Although they took off their masks and changed their faces, they did not dare to risk following them to avoid being discovered by Shen Ge.

In the private room of the teahouse, Shen Ge poured tea for Zheng Changming diligently, "Brother Zheng is a cheerful person, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I want to ask you to make a portrait of Mr. Dongzhu. I want to take the portrait and go Looking for the whereabouts of Mr.

"I remembered!" Zheng Changming closed the folding fan and said in surprise, "You are the book boy who delivers tea to Mr. Dongzhu's house in Wusha Town!"

Three years ago, Zheng Changming visited Mr. Dongzhu in Wusha Town and lived in the bamboo forest for a month. Shen Ge studied with Mr. Dong, helped the government with some chores, and went to the bamboo forest to clean the house and deliver the goods. vegetable.

Shen Ge also looked at Zheng Changming with excitement, "Brother Zheng is not only good at painting, but also has a photographic memory. I admire him so much!"

Zheng Changming was so flattered by the praise, his smile was like the bright moon shining on the flowers, which was pleasing to the eye, "Brother Shen Xian wants to make a portrait of Mr. and look for him. Could it be that Mr. has also been washed away by the flood?"

Wusha Town is just downstream of Wolong Embankment. Wolong Embankment collapsed and Wusha Town turned into a vast ocean. Thinking of this, Zheng Changming couldn't help but smile and became worried.

Shen Ge quickly said, "Sir, he was kidnapped a month before the flood and disappeared."

Zheng Changming raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is so bold as to kidnap me, the number one hermit in the six states of the Yangtze River!"
