In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year's Eve has quietly arrived.

Compared with Guangdong, the New Year's flavor of the capital is stronger, especially in the inner city of Dashi Yongfang, every household has posted Spring Festival couplets, and hung up a red lantern.

Although Tiger Girl is a wild child, she loves her family very much. She didn't need anyone to mention it, she led a group of people to the City God Temple to make a lot of purchases, and decorated the house in a decent way.

Lin Haoran has already joined Shuntian Mansion, and he has a tiger girl to help take care of all this, and he doesn't need to worry about anything at home. After dealing with the affairs of Shuntianfu, it is time to enjoy this Spring Festival holiday with peace of mind and use this holiday to weave a network of relationships.

Winter nights come early, and when the time comes, the sky begins to darken.

Lin Haoran, who was dressed in a scholar's costume, arrived at the door of the Wu Mansion as promised, followed the tiger girl in a red cotton jacket to the front of the mansion with gifts, and knocked on the door of the future father-in-law's house.

The housekeeper looked extremely enthusiastic as he watched his future uncle come to the door.

It's just that Wu Shan hasn't returned home yet, so Lin Haoran has to wait in the living room. Hu Niu didn't need to be evasive, so she immediately ran into the back house generously, saying that she wanted to play with Wu Qiuyu.

For this house, she is resolutely very familiar, and she has close contacts with Wu's mother and daughter.

Wu Qiuyu naturally attaches great importance to this future sister-in-law, and there is a faint taste of flattery. As for Wu's mother, she loves the house and Wu, she attaches great importance to Lin Haoran, a capable future son-in-law, so she also likes the lively little girl Tiger Girl.

When the tiger girl arrived inside, she was warmly welcomed by the mother and daughter of the Wu family, and from time to time there was a burst of laughter like silver bells.

Lin Haoran was sipping tea in the living room, but he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. Although this wild girl's temperament is a little wilder, she has to admit that it is very easy to please others.

"Lord Lin, I haven't seen you for a few months, but your demeanor is still there!"

At this moment, Wu Huashou, who was wearing silk and satin, looked red and walked into the living room and bowed to him.

Lin Haoran faced the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, felt a little surprised, and immediately asked curiously, "Wu ...... Uncle Shi, when did you arrive in the capital? ”

"Huh...... Just arrived this morning! I went to Beijing with Yang Chunlai and others! Wu Huashou naturally sat down next to Lin Haoran's hand and said with a smile.

In other words, he shifted the focus of Wu's business to Guangdong, and the result was a lot of money. The reason why it went so smoothly was naturally because of the care of the future uncle of the Wu family.

Lin Haoran heard that he was coming to Beijing with Yang Chun, but he didn't know if they were coming for business or just to visit relatives.

was about to ask about the situation, but there was movement outside the door, and Lin Haoran and Wu Huashou hurriedly stepped forward to greet Wu Shan.

Wu Shan still had a straight face, walked in from outside, nodded slightly towards Lin Haoran, and then said with a pleasant face: "Fifth brother, when did you arrive in Beijing?" ”

"I just arrived today, just in time for the New Year with my second brother!" Wu Huashou looked at the second brother who had not seen him for a long time, and replied with a smile.

"Good! Good! ”

Wu Shan also felt a strong sense of family affection in his heart, and he grabbed Wu Huating's hand tightly and applauded.

Lin Haoran was standing next to him, but he looked at the old antique Wu Shan in amazement, daring to love this teacher and laughing.

Wu Shan didn't care about Lin Haoran's surprised eyes, and pulled Wu Huashou to go inside, and he was extremely happy.

This is an era of male superiority and inferiority of women, and Wu Mansion is naturally no exception. Three men set up seats in the main hall, while female dependents were in the side hall, and everyone enjoyed their own Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The three of them cleaned their hands, and Yahuan brought the food up.

Wu Shan naturally sat in the center, but Lin Haoran wanted to sit on the right, but Wu Huashou was forced to the left.

Lin Haoran was slightly embarrassed in his heart, and naturally wanted to refuse.

If he was in Guangdong, he would naturally sit on top of Wu Huashou with peace of mind, and he could even ride on Wu Huashou's head, but at the moment, he was under Wu Shan's nose, but he had to pay attention to some proportions.

"Fifth brother, you are his elder, sit on the left!" Wu Shan's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't understand why this younger brother was so polite, but he said it.

Wu Huashou's face looked anxious, once he really angered this big Buddha, then his business really didn't have to be done. It's just that the second brother spoke, and Lin Haoran was not annoyed, so he reluctantly sat in the left seat, but it was like sitting on pins and needles.

Wu Shan didn't think it was different, and after taking a bite of the dish, he asked curiously: "Fifth brother, didn't you transfer all your business to Guangdong, why did you suddenly come to the capital, could it be that something happened?" ”

In his opinion, Lin Haoran originally served as the prefect in Guangzhou, so he was naturally able to take care of the fifth brother's business. It's just that Lin Haoran has been transferred, I'm afraid it's someone who is going to tea, and his fifth brother is probably in trouble.

Wu Huashou hurriedly put down his chopsticks, but shook his head again and again and said, "Second brother, you misunderstood, nothing happened!" At present, the ceramic business in Guangdong is on the right track, and I don't need to worry too much! I happened to be free, so I came to the capital with a few friends, and I also came to meet the second brother, after all, I haven't seen the second brother for two years! ”

Wu Shan also felt a sigh, two years ago his fifth brother came to the capital to say that he wanted to transfer the business to Guangdong, and asked him to write a letter to Lin Haoran, and he has not seen this brother since.

It's just that being an official is like this, and it is even more difficult to meet with relatives, and when I heard that there was no trouble, I inquired again: "How is your current business?" ”

"Cheng Ruoyu takes care of it, and the business is quite good!" Wu Huashou looked at Lin Haoran and said gratefully.

"Uncle Shi is polite, it's just a gesture!" Lin Haoran said modestly.

"It's not a no-brainer! We can do this now, thanks to your care! Wu Huashou has always been grateful for Lin Haoran's care, and immediately emphasized.

Wu Shan often glanced at Lin Haoran, and then asked, "Is the business really good?" ”

"In the past, Beijing was the best store, but it was only a profit of 10,000 taels a year, and it was necessary to calm down a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. It's just that at the moment, we have taken a trip in Guangdong, but it has far exceeded this number. Wu Huashou said solemnly.

Today, the mirror not only faces the West and Japan, but also opens up the market in the South Seas, resulting in the extremely popular porcelain sales. Wu's ceramics have the care of joint business and wealth, as long as the quality can be maintained, there is no worry about sales and price.

Wu Shan is extremely familiar with his younger brother's temperament, this is a very upright person, and he speaks without exaggeration at all. originally wanted to know more details, but Lin Haoran was sitting next to him, but he couldn't bear to ask directly.

"Ruoyu, we want to sell the ironware from Foshan to the capital, I don't know if it's feasible?" When Wu Huashou talked about business, he looked quite serious.

Lin Haoran realized that they were really here for business, but he asked seriously: "There is no problem with the checkpoint of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal!" ”

Thanks to the opening of the Guangdong-Hangzhou route, the transportation route from Guangdong to Beijing is no longer out of reach. Transporting iron from Foshan to Hangzhou, and then going north from Hangzhou through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, will undoubtedly be able to go straight to the capital.

"With our current financial resources, and we plan to do it with Hangzhou businessmen, it is estimated that there is no problem!" Wu Huashou replied seriously.

Lin Haoran was about to nod, but found that Wu Shan was being hung aside, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, you are three sentences that do not leave the industry!" However, I have a lot of knowledge, and if I really want to be taught, I should ask the teacher! ”

Wu Huashou also reacted, knowing that this topic was not suitable for conversation here, and the protagonist of this banquet had to be his second brother, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Wu Shan is not a fool, he has already seen that this younger brother attaches great importance to Lin Haoran, and it is the kind of attention that he attaches to in his heart, which makes him secretly shocked in his heart.

Although he knew that Lin Haoran had made great achievements in Guangdong, and he also learned some information from the letters at home, he did not seem to know much about this disciple and his future son-in-law.
