Chapter 1285 New Year's Taste

The Spring Festival in Beijing is very popular.

There are sometimes a sound of firecrackers in the city. There are New Year's couplets in front of the doors of every household. The ground is covered with red paper with firecrackers. Many people hang big red lanterns high, and a group of children in new clothes play on the streets.

The carriages and sedan chairs in the chessboard streets in the city were constantly coming and going. Some people went out of the city, and some people came into the city. It seemed that the people in the city were busy visiting relatives.

Lin Qingran took Wu Qiuyu to the south of the city early in the morning and joined the army to visit relatives.

When passing by the entrance of Huaishu Hutong, a large group of officials were still gathered in front of Xu's mansion. Even though it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was still the most lively mansion in the entire capital.

The carriage seemed unobstructed and passed by the Xu Mansion gate, but no one dared to stop it. Many officials took the initiative to avoid it after recognizing the owner of the carriage, and also cast envious eyes.

When it comes to personal future, no one can compare to Lin Wenkui. During his special period as the prefect of Shuntian, everyone also saw that in addition to being skilled in planning, Lin Wenkui was among the top abilities.

"What a pity! If he had chosen to marry the Xu family, how glorious would it be!" An obese official watched the carriage leave, but he pretended to be regretful.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and many officials also learned about that past. Lin Qingran once had the opportunity to marry the Xu family, but Lin Qingran chose Wu Shan’s daughter and missed a “good marriage”.

"That's right, Lin Wenkui is probably already regretful now!" Some companions were also jealous when they looked at the charming carriage, and immediately agreed.

The voice was not loud or small. Lin Weiran, who was sitting in the car, heard this argument vaguely, but there was a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

If it were put before, he would indeed feel a little regretful. But since he saw Xu Jie's hypocritical appearance clearly, he had no regret at all, and even felt a little bit of gratitude.

If he held Xu Jie's thigh, his career would certainly be less detours, and now he would not have to worry about the affairs of the Beijing Prefecture, and he would even have a certain right to speak in the Beijing Prefecture.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Xu Jie is actually a person who cherishes his reputation very much. It can be seen from his treatment of Xu Fan and Jiang Yuebai. He will definitely suppress him to a certain extent in order to avoid suspicion.

At least, Zhang Juzheng is his first choice heir to Xu Jie. Even if he is his grandson-in-law, especially when he is so young, he will still be behind Zhang Juzheng.

If this is the case, then he would naturally have to wait for at least twenty years after Zhang Juzheng, and even never have this possibility in his life, let alone his reform idea.

That's why the road he chose now is difficult, but the key is that he can form a unique line and firmly grasp his own destiny in his own hands.

Wu Qiuyu's ears have always been very sharp. She was tilting her head and looking at her husband. Her beautiful big eyes were closely observing the expression on Lin Yanran's face.

Lin Xuran faced her gaze and said proudly: "Everyone said that I, Lin Ruoyu, was stupid back then. Guo didn't know that he was the most wise man. He married a beautiful woman as his wife!"

"Good and smooth-talking!" Wu Qiuyu angrily glanced at him, but her heart felt as if she had eaten honey.

She was naturally extremely satisfied with such a husband, and felt that this was a gift from God.

The carriage stopped slowly at the gate of the Wu Mansion. Lin Qingran did not have too much machismo. He personally helped Wu Qiuyu down from the car and walked into the gate of the Wu Mansion together.

"Son-in-law and the lady are here!"

When the concierge saw the two of them appear, his old face immediately smiled brightly, and he did not forget to shout loudly into it.

When they learned that the two of them had arrived, the inner house soon became aware of the movement.

Although Wu Shan was greeting guests, Mrs. Wu personally welcomed the Hanghua Gate.

"My son-in-law wishes New Year's greetings to my mother-in-law, wishing my mother-in-law good health and eternal beauty!" Lin Qingran faced his mother-in-law who took the initiative to greet her, and immediately greeted her with regular New Year's greetings.

Mrs. Wu has always been proud of her son-in-law, and her face immediately smiled like a flower and said, "This child is really good at speaking, okay, okay, everyone is well!"

Lin Weiran noticed that Wu Huashou and his wife were polite to Wu Huashou and his wife. He did not have the aura of being a prefect of the Heavenly Prefecture, but resolutely had the attitude of a junior who respected the elderly and loved the young.

"My niece Qiuyu has met the third uncle and the third aunt. I wish the third uncle and the third aunt a good year of the Rat!" After paying New Year's greetings to his mother, Wu Qiuyu greeted Wu Huashou and his wife again.

Wu Huashou was spending the New Year in the capital, and he was also very excited to see Lin Weiran.

With the economic development of Guangdong, Wu Huashou also got a share of the pie, especially after intervening in the iron products business, he has become the largest iron distributor in Jiangxi.

All of this was thanks to Lin Weiran in front of him, which made the entire Wu family of Wu so vigorous and their strength increased with the times.

Wu Huashou waved to a boy behind him, patted the boy's arm and ordered: "Kang'er, this is your seventh brother-in-law. I'll kowtow to your seventh brother-in-law and wish you a happy new year!"

"My name is Wu Fukang, I wish my third brother-in-law a New Year!" Wu Huashou's son was Wu Fukang. Facing the legendary Lin Xuran, he also obediently kowtowed to Lin Xuran.

"Uncle San, what do you mean? Your family doesn't need to do this. Get up quickly. This is the benefit that Brother Qi gave you!" Lin Qingran stepped forward and helped Wu Fukang up, and at the same time handed him a red envelope.

This young man looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with a somewhat similar face to Wu Huashou. He looked thin and fair, but he looked a bit like a scholar.

Wu Huashou faced Lin Weiran and said a little embarrassedly: "This is my youngest son. He is more promising than me. His husband said that he is a good material for studying. This year I decided to send him to the Imperial College for study!"

Lin Qingran immediately understood Wu Huashou's intention, which was a typical Chinese parent who wanted his son to become a success. Although Wu Huating's business was very good, he already knew that no matter how rich a businessman was, he was not as good as a Jinshi officer, and he wanted to raise his own son.

Now that people are sent to the Imperial College for study, their future is undoubtedly far better than studying hard at home, and they can even accumulate connections for entering the officialdom in the future.
