Official Lin had nothing to do today, but Secretary Bai hadn't come back yet, so he wandered over to Sun Lianlian's house to have some fun.
Although Sun Lian Lian has not yet left her family, everyone in the city now knows that she is equivalent to Lin Daguan's wife, and she also works part-time as a broker.
Those who have no way to contact Lin Daguan can try their luck at Sun Lianlian.
When Lin Daguan entered the inner courtyard, he found twenty or thirty little girls standing in the courtyard, all of whom looked to be in their teens.
"What are you doing?" Lin Daguan asked curiously.
Sun Lianlian replied: "I heard that senior officials have become very interested in some girl groups recently, so they choose a few talented people to adopt as their daughters, and they can make their debut after a few years of training."
Official Lin teased: "According to the rules, if you accept them as your daughter, they have to call you mom. Don't you think it's too old to be called you?"
Sun Lianlian rolled her eyes, and replied not to be outdone: "The slave family still doesn't understand you? You must find it more exciting if someone calls the slave family's mother next to you."
Lin Tailai: "."
When it comes to driving, only Sun Lianlian can make Lin Daguan unstoppable.
After that, Sun Lianlian selected three little girls and let the others disperse.
Lin Daguanren pointed out: "The type is too single and cannot be like this. It is best to be different in temperament. And if possible, there should be more sources in the region."
Sun Lianlian glanced at Lin Tai and said: "The slave family doesn't have that ability. I heard that you are also able to live well in Yangzhou. How many can you bring back to the slave family?
Also, what is the essence of selling one's art but not one's body? Are they all doing it like the white courtesans did in the past, only accompanying people with drinks but not going to bed?
To be honest, the slave family looks down upon this kind of thing, it’s very boring.”
Lin Tailai said: "I can't even accompany you with drinks! I only perform in public and don't meet any guests privately!"
At least that’s what the publicity says, even if it’s really done, it can’t be discovered and known by the public!”
Sun Lianlian was a little dumbfounded: "Then what's the use? Who else can you make money from?"
Lin Daguan laughed and said: "I don't have enough money to make money, and I can't get the money of those people who belong to the famous prostitutes in Huabang."
I think the citizen base in Suzhou City is pretty good, and I will tell you what to do when the time comes."
Then Sun Lianlian and Lin Tailai entered the house and asked again: "I heard that the high officials are going to collect tens of thousands of pieces of fabric for the Weaving Bureau, how can they still have the time to come to the slave's house?
The slave family has never heard that you colluded with the weaving eunuch?
Some people came over today and asked if they could help contact the weaving eunuch, and the slave family didn’t even know how to reply."
Lin Daguan replied succinctly: "It's all rumors spread by me. In fact, there is no such thing! I don't know the weaving eunuch!"
Then he said triumphantly: "How is it? Is my rumor true? Even you almost believe it."
Sun Lianlian couldn't complain, why is this rumor so true? Senior official, don't you have any idea?
If you didn't have such a distinct image as a high-ranking official, would others believe such rumors?
"What's the point of making this rumor? Is it just to deceive people?" Sun Lianlian asked incomprehensibly.
Lin Daguan explained: "I am going to Yangzhou for business soon. I am afraid that the Textile Industry Office will make some tricks while I am away, so I spread rumors first to suppress them!"
The two of them were talking and making moves with each other. Just when they were about to get angry, someone suddenly came from Gengxin Academy and reported: "Secretary Bai is back from Mudu Town!"
Official Lin let go of his hand and said, "Secretary Bai has been away for a few days. I have a backlog of letters and I need to give her some advice on how to write a reply."
Sun Lianlian curled her lips and said with a hint of sourness: "The slave family just hates that I haven't studied hard since I was a child, so I can't be a personal secretary!"
It is said that the women around Lin Tailai are all envious of Secretary Bai's job, because only Secretary Bai can always follow Lin Tailai.
But it is a pity that their cultural literacy does not meet the requirements, so they cannot be secretaries. After all, those who correspond with Lin Tailai are basically cultural elites, and they can't ghostwrite even if they only know a few words.
Therefore, they can only play the roles of leaders of community alliances, leaders of fishery and salt companies, and power brokers.
Official Lin returned to the Xinxin Academy outside Xumen. After seeing Secretary Bai in the inner study, he shouted, "You are so courageous. How dare you break into the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den!"
Secretary Bai replied: "How can it be as scary as the official said? The two sisters treat the slave family very well.
They also said that since we are all from Suzhou, the sisters should move more among each other in the future."
Then he opened a small box and said, "My two sisters also gave me more than 20 pieces of gold and jade jewelry for the high officials to see."
Official Lin casually glanced at the box and said, "Is this Sun and Liu joining forces to fight against Cao? Then what role are you?"
It seems that the members of the harem are aware of the news that the northern army is about to march south, and have begun to make preparations.
Secretary Bai covered her mouth and laughed a few times, "The high official said strange things again!"
Then Secretary Bai stopped smiling and asked a little nervously: "There is another matter. The two sisters dare not tell the officials directly, so they would like to ask the slave family to ask for help."
Lin Daguan asked in surprise: "This is strange, and there are other things that the two of them dare not say directly?"
Secretary Bai continued: "Actually, the two sisters want to ask why the family fortune left to their sons is not as good as that of their brothers?"
Lin Tailai's three brothers, one is in charge of several engineering teams and real estate, one is the head of the Customs and Excise Department and the director of the industrial park, and the other is the proprietor of Lin's Salt Industry in Yangzhou.
Nowadays, the plates in everyone’s hands are relatively large-scale.
Lin Tailai's two sons are currently staying with their mother in Hengtang Town and Mudu Town, and many of their mother's properties are not visible to the public.
In comparison, it will inevitably lead to some questions of "favoring one over the other".
Lin Daguan said calmly: "Everything has just begun, the plate will be bigger, why are you anxious now?
Besides, there are a lot of things under the water, haven’t you noticed?
For example, you can see that the industrial park has been booming recently, and many projects have been launched, but all the land is in my name."
Secretary Bai carefully tried to say: "If the industry is too concentrated and too ostentatious, then it will still have to be divided?
Senior officials still need to think more carefully so as not to make the sisters dissatisfied."
Lin Daguan can understand that after the foundation continues to expand and then begins to have children, others will definitely have ideas about distribution.
This is a normal natural phenomenon from ancient times to the present. No one can change it, and it will be the same hundreds of years later!
Lin Daguan still downplayed this, "It doesn't matter, Wang Shiwu will be here soon!"
If necessary in the future, let her be responsible for dividing it among the sisters. If the division is not done well, it will be all Wang Fifteen’s fault!"
Secretary Bai: "."
Once again, I felt that high-ranking officials did not have the emperor's destiny, but they had the emperor's mentality.
