It is understandable that a person is greedy for money, but being too greedy for money is a villain.
Madam Fan looked at Lin Tailai again calmly, "What do you want these five hundred taels of silver for? What do you need five hundred taels of silver for?"
With five hundred taels of silver in Dr. Lin's hands, he could do a lot, such as buying a spacious house in the city to settle down.
Then buy a place for the county examination, then buy a place for the prefectural examination, and finally buy a place for the Taoist examination to become a scholar.
It may not be enough to buy any more, and you need to think of another way.
Some people may want to ask, Dr. Lin was ordered to establish a branch church and recruit troops. Doesn’t he need money?
It can only be said that Dr. Lin understands the essence of entrepreneurship and has never thought about using his own money to start a business!
After thinking about it, Lin Tailai lied and said: "Actually, I have a project that urgently needs partnership investment."
Madam Fan immediately took care of her and said, "I will convey your intention to the school secretary's office and say a few words for you. I can help you get five hundred taels of silver. I think it won't be a big problem."
Lin Tailai was shocked immediately. He hadn't even compiled a project yet, so Mrs. Fan promised to help attract investment?
Is this sister-in-law too stupid, or does she love herself too blindly? How can a sister-in-law who is the head of the household do things so stupidly?
In previous generations, those entrepreneurs who defrauded investors should at least prepare a PPT.
Dr. Lin always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't remember it, so he tentatively asked:
"What is your relationship with Director Xu of the school book office? Judging from your appearance, you are not a famous person from his industry, right?"
Lady Fan didn't know how to treat this sentence for a moment. Was it a compliment to her beauty or an insult to her coquettishness?
Finally, he yelled: "Shut up! Don't confuse me with those low-life women!"
Then he explained: "There is a member of our Fan family, who is my cousin in generation, and is married to Xu Taishi's daughter, so Manager Xu and I can talk to each other."
When Lin Tailai heard this explanation, his first reaction was, could it be that this sister-in-law thought that she had not studied well enough, so she deceived herself?
What kind of person is Xu Taishi? Old Man Tang also introduced him a few days ago.
The front man of the Xu family in Huqiu, who has a close relationship with Shen Shoufu, a Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli, and the king of Suzhou gardens who owns two top famous gardens, the Liuyuan Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden!
It’s not that Dr. Lin underestimated Mrs. Fan. Even if she is a descendant of Fan Zhongyan, her family has been reduced to the point where women are allowed to join the society. Is there any younger brother who can be chosen by Xu Taishi as his son-in-law?
Thinking of this, Dr. Lin couldn't help but beat his chest, "I would have traveled through time earlier. No, I would have been better off just a few years earlier!"
In this way, maybe I will also have the opportunity to become Xu Taishi's son-in-law, which will save me fifty years of hard work and lead me to peace for the rest of my life!"
Lady Fan: "."
Don't accept it, this strong man is really a strange person, and his brain circuit is also different from ordinary people.
Madam Fan originally didn't want to talk too much about her family, but Lin Tailai was so angry that she said a few more words:
"Xu Taishi has no sons so far, only one daughter, Xu Yuan! So he only recruits his son-in-law. Are you willing to do this?"
Lin Tailai was slightly surprised, but unexpectedly he heard the name of a cultural celebrity again.
This Xu Yuan is also a famous talented woman, a celebrity in the Jiangnan cultural circle, and together with another talented woman Lu Qing, they are known as the two great families of the Wu family.
It can be said that these two are the founders and forerunners of the culture of talented women from Jiangnan aristocratic families in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
It is a pity that the two talented women are now in their twenties and are married respectively, so they have no fate with Dr. Lin.
To make a few digressions, another talented woman, Lu Qing, is the daughter of Suzhou celebrity Lu Shidao, who was also a disciple of Wen Zhengming.
It seems that every cultural celebrity in Suzhou today can be related to Wen Zhengming. This shows that Wen Zhengming has a profound influence on the Suzhou cultural circle.
Although in terms of popularity after hundreds of years, among the four great talents in Jiangnan, Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan beat Wen Zhengming instantly.
But when it comes to the legacy left behind, the sum of Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan multiplied by ten is not as good as Wen Zhengming. In another forty years, the Wen family will still produce a number one scholar.
So after Dr. Lin traveled through time, he only heard about the Wen family, one of the four major local families, but never heard about the Tang family and the Zhu family.
Lin Tailai said casually while thinking about the talented girl:
"Since you and the Xu family have been able to strike up a conversation, is there any talented daughter from aristocratic families who are waiting for marriage in Xu's family? Let me see them? Any aristocratic family will do, I won't choose."
Originally, Dr. Lin was just quick to talk and didn't expect Mrs. Fan to give any response.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fan replied generously: "That's easy to say. In March, there are many garden parties for talented girls from aristocratic families. I can find a way to arrange for you to take a peek."
Lin Tailai: "???"
Once again, I deeply felt that something was wrong with this sister-in-law!
She was a little too kind to her today, she simply took everything she asked for, gave her what she asked for, and tolerated her unconditionally!
Although he could tell that Mrs. Fan seemed to covet his body, he didn't expect that she could be so blindly loved?
It’s so terrible, women are so terrible!
For the first time since Dr. Lin traveled through time, he felt that the water was too deep and he couldn't grasp it.
It happened that Mrs. Fan was sent to the dock at this time, and Lin Tailai hurriedly said goodbye.
"See you at the county government tomorrow!" Mrs. Fan said meaningfully.
Dr. Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was probably talking about the public trial tomorrow of the "filial daughter's murder case to avenge her father."
Madam Fan is considered the "sufferer", right? Could it be that she will also be there? Could she still want to cause trouble? Didn't Zhang Liangshu say that Heyi Tang has been settled?
Originally, Lin Tailai already knew the results of tomorrow's trial from Zhang Liangshu in advance, so there was no need to go to the scene to join in the fun.
But seeing Mrs. Fan’s deliberate reminder, I always felt that I still had to go there tomorrow.
Later, Lin Tailai came back to the hall. Before the leaders dispersed, Hall Master Lu asked: "What did that woman named Fan say to you?"
Lin Tailai answered truthfully: "It's nothing. She said she was willing to make peace with the school secretary and give the five hundred taels directly to me. I said I didn't want it, but she insisted on helping me."
Hall Master Lu immediately said angrily: "Nonsense! Can't you just tell the truth to me? I wanted to lend you fifty taels, but I'm giving up now!"
Lin Tailai: "."
The next day, Lin Tailai left Hengtang Town again. Under the complicated eyes of Old Man Tang, he got up and headed for Suzhou City.
"The heart of sitting in the restaurant is no longer in the fish market." Old Tang sighed.
In this era, county government cases were theoretically open to the public, allowing people to watch as long as you could walk to the front of the lobby.
Therefore, one of the major sources of gossip news in the market today is the trial of cases by county magistrates. Magistrates will also use this to show their "personality" and promote education.
The lobby of the county government office is also called the court, which is where the county magistrate publicly hears cases and handles affairs.
Lin Tailai, as the clerk of the county government's grain department, certainly had the ability to go outside the lobby and watch the trial.
At this time, the lobby was already crowded outside. Not to mention the sea of people, it was also airtight. After all, there was a hot case today.
But no matter how many people there are, it's still like walking on flat ground for Lin Tailai.
He easily walked to the best viewing position in the front row, right next to the platform outside the threshold of the lobby.
Then on the other side of the platform, I saw Mrs. Fan, the "sufferer".
At this time, Mrs. Fan was still wearing mourning clothes, but the red color from her fingers to her lips had disappeared, and she looked like a very serious dutiful wife.
But in the eyes of Dr. Lin, this kind of seriousness still feels wrong!
