243. The rich family of the Yi family
Jinling City is filled with blooming flowers, large and small streets lined with shops, and an endless stream of businessmen and pedestrians.
The motorcade had just entered Jinling City. When Lin Xi heard the shouting outside, she couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside.
You can see many vendors upon entering, selling everything. It would be an understatement to call it a dazzling array of things.
"It is indeed a big city. I thought our county was prosperous enough, but I didn't expect it to be even more prosperous here." Lin Xi said with emotion.
After hearing this, Shen Chen gave a simple explanation: "This place is located at the intersection of a north-south traffic artery. Many pedestrians traveling from north to south will pass by here, either staying to do business or coming to discuss business."
Lin Xi's mind moved slightly. He put down the car curtain and turned around to say to Shen Chen: "I have calculated that we can stay here for up to five days. Except for two days to see Grandma Huaijin, we can stop in Jinling City for the remaining few days. change. "
Shen Chen immediately understood what she meant, "Do you want to see if there are any business opportunities here?"
Lin Xi nodded fiercely.
Over there in the north is Zhuo Minghe.
As for the south, they will start to negotiate with each other when the matter of the imperial merchant is settled. Regardless of whether Zhao Dequan can become the imperial merchant or not, they still know each other. Wanyan, this is a great advantage. Just think of a way, the south side Trade routes can also be opened.
But these two directions are too extreme and do not go through the Central Plains.
When doing business, the Central Plains region is also very important. Since the location of Jinling City is so important, as long as she looks for opportunities and establishes a firm foothold here, she will definitely be able to find suitable opportunities.
Just thinking about it made Lin Xi unable to control his ambition.
Shen Chen thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, today is the eighth day of February. On the eleventh day, there is a lantern festival south of Jinling Middle, hosted by the local chamber of commerce."
Lin Xi understood immediately, "There will definitely be many businessmen participating, right?"
Shen Chen nodded: "I have only heard of this lantern festival. It seems to be divided into three parts. It is ultimately held in an amusement park, where most businessmen go."
"Okay! I will definitely seize this opportunity!" Lin Xizhi waved his hand proudly.
Shen Chen looked at her with soft eyes, a smile overflowing from his eyes.
While he was talking, the carriage stopped.
The boy outside said: "You two, the Yi Mansion has arrived."
Shen Chen stood up and went out, followed by Lin Xi.
When Lin Xi got off the bus, Shen Chen had already got off. He turned around and helped her get off the bus thoughtfully. Lin Xi looked up from the car and was a little surprised.
They had already entered a secluded street. There were not as many pedestrians as they had seen when they entered the city. What was important was that there was only one house on this street, and that was the mansion in front of them. Just a red door made it look majestic and solemn. , the stone lions on both sides are also very majestic.
At this moment, there were many people standing under several steps at the door.
The leader was a very elegant lady, but she was very young, no more than twenty-three or four years old. The people following behind seemed to be servants, looking at them with different eyes.
Yi Huaijin, who was in the carriage in front, also got out of the carriage. When the noble lady saw him, she immediately stepped forward with a loving and gentle smile on her face, "Huaijin, it's been a long journey, thank you for your hard work."
Yi Huaijin's expression was a little dull, but his aura did not drop at all in front of the noble lady, and there was a hint of majesty that could not be offended.
He said: "It's not too tiring. I have already informed my father when I came back this time, and brought a doctor with excellent medical skills back to diagnose and treat my grandmother."
The noble lady showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "Huaijin, your father hasn't yet..."
"I know that my father has not returned from a business trip. It doesn't matter, it's late. Let's go to the house to rest first."
Yi Huaijin interrupted the lady's words, ignored her reaction after speaking, and turned to Lin Xi and Shen Chen.
Lin Xi noticed that the noble lady looked a little ugly, but she quickly returned to normal and followed her with a smile.
When Yi Huaijin faced Lin Xi and Shen Chen, he looked very friendly, "Uncle Shen, Aunt Lin, let's enter the house first."
Lin Xi and Shen Chen exchanged glances and nodded.
Seeing that Yi Huaijin had no intention of introducing the noble lady, Lin Xi and Shen Chen didn't ask any more questions and followed Yi Huaijin in.
As soon as I walked up the steps, a hurried old man came out. When he saw Yi Huaijin, his eyes lit up and he called him "eldest young master" affectionately.
Yi Huaijin responded with a smile and introduced: "Uncle Fu, these are the guests I invited back, Aunt Lin and Uncle Shen. Lin Xi, these are the officials of my Yi Mansion. You can also call me Uncle Fu like me." .”
Lin Xi and Shen Chen greeted them politely, and Uncle Fu treated them politely and thoughtfully, taking them to the cleaned guest room.
The lady behind looked at this scene and almost broke the veil in her hand.
The servant spoke cautiously: "Madam, won't we... go in?"
"Come in, why not come in?"
The lady took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and entered the house.
On the other side, Yi Huaijin personally followed them to the guest room prepared for Lin Xi and Shen Chen.
The guest room was in the backyard, and they passed through a small half of the Yi Mansion. There were rockeries, flowing water, and long corridors and waterside pavilions. The view of the forest stream was breathtaking.
She never expected that Yi Huaijin was not only a second-generation rich man, but also such a rich second-generation rich man!
This house is too big!!
It was no smaller than her atrium house in later generations, and was even half as big.
Arriving at the guest room, Yi Huaijin looked around and felt quite satisfied: "Thank you for taking care of it, Uncle Fu."
Then he turned to Lin Xi and Shen Chen, "Aunt Lin, Huaijin will leave the maids and servants behind. Just ask them to do whatever you need. You two are tired from traveling today, so you two should rest first. Huaijin won't disturb you anymore." "
"What about your grandmother? Why don't you go see her first?" Lin Xi asked.
Yi Huaijin hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "You two are the guests I invited back. Even if you do things, you have to rest before doing them. Huaijin will go to visit grandma first to see how she is doing."
Lin Xi heard this and said, "Okay, if it's convenient for you, bring me your grandmother's pulse record during this period and the medicine she took."
Yi Huaijin looked grateful, "Thank you Aunt Lin, Huaijin will leave first."
Uncle Fu looked at Yi Huaijin, then at Lin Xi and Shen Chen. He didn't say anything and followed him out in a respectful manner.
Just after they left, four more servants came in and asked respectfully if they needed anything.
Lin Xi waved his hand and said no, and asked them to exit and close the door.
Then Lin Xi couldn't help it anymore and grabbed Shen Chen's hand. Afraid of being heard by people outside, she lowered her voice: "I like the layout of this big house! I have decided. This is my new goal. Money is not enough." , If you are rich enough to build such a big house, then our family will move in, and Dabao and the four of us will have separate yards. When we are tired, we can still enjoy the scenery in the yard. It is wonderful to think about it!"
Shen Chen listened, pinched her face, and said warmly: "Okay, we will build a house like this in the future."
