(2-in-1)

Lin Bonian was in prison for nearly 20 days, his hair and clothes were already messy, and he was also haggard and emaciated. At this time, he fell to the ground in agony, and his clothes were covered with dust. In addition, there are tears flowing everywhere, a lot of snot and tears on his beard, and the whole person is like a homeless man on the street. Compared with the previous silk and satin on the body, the appearance of attaching great importance to the image has been very different. Seeing Lin Bonian's image, and listening to his heart-rending words of remorse, everyone in the Lin family had resentment in their hearts, and they all turned into compassion.

Especially Lin Boyong, after all, brotherhood is deep. In the past few decades, Lin Boyong has always been proud of his second brother. The second brother supported the face of the Lin family, and he also connived at him and supported him. The so-called eldest brother is like a father, Lin Boyong has such a little fatherly love in his heart. Therefore, even if he knew that some of the things Lin Bonian did were not in accordance with the rules, his choice was to turn a blind eye to the connivance. Just like his indulgence of his own sons, this is the biggest weakness of Lin Boyong's character.

Although Lin Bonian betrayed himself last year and took the position of the head of his family. It stands to reason that Lin Boyong should hate Lin Bonian. However, Lin Boyong finally chose to forgive. First, he reflected on himself, and indeed made a lot of mistakes in the position of the head of the family. In particular, the matter of Lin Ke's banditry is his responsibility to teach and supervise. The Lin family, who was almost harmed, fell into the danger of annihilation, and he, the head of the family, should also be responsible and should step down. Second, after the death of his eldest son Lin Ke, Lin Boyong blamed himself, and at the same time was a little disheartened, and he also had the intention of retreating. So the fact that the owner of the house was taken away did not make him feel particularly angry.

"Bo Nian, Bo Nian. Hurry up, don't do this, don't do this. Hurry up. Lin Boyong burst into tears, leaning over to pull Lin Bonian up.

"Big brother, Bonian has no face to see you, and he doesn't have the face to see everyone in the Lin family. Bonian longed to die in prison. It's over, it's all over. I ruined everything in the Lin family, what face do I have to live. ”

Lin Bonian cried bitterly. It's not that he's pretending, but this time he's really in pain and guilt. Part of his cry was the guilt of his family, and the other part was a wail for the turn of his fate. After so many years of hard work, he carefully maintained the relationship, although he failed to go further, but as the deputy envoy of the Third Division, this is already a position that is enough to glorify his ancestors and be envied by the world. And now, everything is ruined. He lost everything to show off, and after losing all this, what was he in the Lin family? Not only did he lose all this, but the Lin family also paid a huge price for it. In the future, the Lin family is in danger of collapsing at any time, and this is all because of his personal fault.

Lin Bonian knew all this very well in his heart, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Bo Nian, everything has passed, and it is good for people to live. The green mountains left are here, and I am not afraid of no firewood. Bonian, let's start over again. My Lin family has not experienced difficult times, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Although you did some things wrong, part of the reason why you were convicted was also for the Lin family, so this responsibility should not be borne by you alone, but by the Lin family. Don't blame yourself too much, it's all over. Lin Boyong wiped his tears and said.

Lin Bonian felt a little relieved, but he still burst into tears. Lin Boyong wiped his tears and shouted to Lin Chang and Lin Sheng: "Don't you help your father get up and get into the car?" ”

Lin Chang Lin Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to set up Lin Bonian and walked towards the carriage. The sons of the Lin family stepped forward one by one and saluted. Lin Bonian felt guilty and didn't dare to raise his head, only closed his eyes slightly, and let the two brothers half-pull and half-drag towards the carriage.

At the back of the yamen, Lin Jue and Fang Dunru witnessed all this in front of them, and Lin Jue sighed in his heart. Lin Bonian is also a character, but in the end he ended up with such a miserable appearance. I almost lost my life, harming others and myself. It was a failure. With his resources, he could have done more, going further. It's a pity he couldn't do it. This is probably also due to the constraints of his wisdom, or rather the defects of his character. If you can teach him a lesson from this, it may not be a bad thing for him. For the Lin family, Lin Bonian's fall may not be harmful in the overall situation. Although there will be a huge crisis in front of him, in the long run, the two principals Lin Bonian and Lin Boyong, who Lin Jue is most worried about last time that led to the danger of extermination, can no longer influence the direction of the Lin family.

"Lin Jue, I'm afraid your Lin family hates the old man to death." Beside him, Fang Dunru's soft sigh reached his ears.

Lin Jue came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Where did Mr. go, how could my Lin family hate Mr. It's too late to be grateful. ”

Fang Dunru groaned: "Don't lie to me, the old man can see it from their eyes, and they have hatred for the old man." They must have thought that the old man was not showing favoritism and forced your Lin family to get to where it is today. None of them stepped forward to salute the old man, hey, I knew it would be like this. ”

Lin Jue sighed secretly and said in his heart: It's good that you know, no one in the Lin family has a good impression of you. But he said, "Mr. is too worried." How can there be such a thing. ”

While speaking, Lin Quanchao next to the carriage shouted, "Isn't the second brother still leaving?" What else is there to talk about? With someone like that. ”

Fang Dunru's face changed color when he heard this, and his brows furrowed.

Lin Jue smiled bitterly in his heart, and arched his hand: "Mr. is busy with affairs, so the student will not bother, the student has left, and I am going home with the second uncle." ”

Fang Dunru said in a two-way voice: "Are you going to leave now?" I'd like to say a few words to you. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Let's talk about it next time, we can't let them all wait for the students." Again...... Sir is so busy now, the students don't dare to delay your efforts. The student's resignation is good. ”

Fang Dunru obviously felt that Lin Jue had a sense of alienation from him, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. But what a strong person he is, although he knows that the relationship between himself and Lin Jue is indeed not as good as before, after this incident, the relationship between master and apprentice is no longer as harmonious and comfortable as before, but Fang Dunru does not have any regrets. He couldn't regret it either. Since he chose to return to the court, he can't take care of too much.

"Okay, you can go." Fang Dunru regained his composure and said lightly.

"Student farewell!" Lin Jue bowed, turned around and left.

"That ......," Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue's back and muttered.

"What?" Lin Jue stopped and turned around and asked.

"Hmm...... Your wife asked me to bring you a message, and asked you to go to the house often to sit if you have nothing to do. After a while, you can go and see your wife. Recently, she has not been in a good temper. And your junior sister, although ...... Well...... Can't be too distant, can it? ”

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, sir, I will go when I have time, but I follow my husband's words, it's better to go less." Take care, sir. Lin Jue left. ”

Lin Jue turned around and returned to the Lin family. Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue's figure in a daze for a long time, and finally turned around and strode away.

In Lin Jue's mansion, a meeting with the participation of the main figures of the Lin family is underway. Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian sat on the left and right of the top, but the main seat in the middle was Lin Jue's seat. This is not only because Lin Jue is the owner of this house, but also because Lin Jue is already the head of the Lin family.

Lin Bonian has already bathed and changed his clothes, although his face is still pale, and his eyes are still red and swollen, but he is not as decadent and sloppy as before. Lin Chang took Lin Bonian's clothes and burned them inside and out, which was said to remove the bad luck of prison.

Lin Bonian's old wife Yuan didn't blame Lin Bonian much, but just told him about the family. The large mansion near the Taiping Xingguo Temple has been seized and confiscated, and all the fields and estates purchased outside the city have also been confiscated by the imperial court. The servants and maids in the family have been dismissed, and now Lin Jue has taken them to live here with Lin Boyong's wife and concubine, several wives and concubines of Lin Chang and Lin Sheng, and a few maids who are waiting.

Naturally, the Yuan family also had to tell Lin Bonian about the fact that after Lin Bonian was imprisoned, several side rooms were noisy and wanted to leave. Lin Bonian sighed when he heard this, and finally gritted his teeth and wrote down several letters of resignation, called a few side rooms, and sent them away one by one.

After lunch, everyone in the Lin family sat down, which was a meeting convened by Lin Jue. Everyone understood that this meeting would determine the future of the Lin family. Because the Lin family has too many things to solve now, it is too urgent. Lin Bonian's joy after his safe return was also diluted by this weight in a short time. Therefore, after sitting down, everyone's face looked extremely serious.

Lin Jue was smiling, and after inviting Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian to take a seat, Lin Jue slowly sat down in his place. The eyes of everyone in the Lin family fell on Lin Jue, and they also saw Lin Jue's thumb wearing the purple shining wrench symbolizing the head of the Lin family for the first time.

"Uncle, second uncle, brothers. It is a rare thing for my Lin family to be reunited here today. The safe return of the second uncle is the greatest joy. Let's congratulate the second uncle together. Lin Jue said loudly.

When everyone heard this, they all got up and bowed their hands to Lin Bonian. Lin Bonian blushed, and hurriedly stood up, his face was full of shame, and his eyes were red again.

"Thank you to the head of the family, thank you to the eldest brother, thank you to the nephews. I have made a big mistake and have caused you all of you, even if I die in prison, I will not regret it. However, you still rescued me, which made me feel the power of my family, but also more ashamed and blamed. I know that no matter how much I apologize, it will be difficult to make up for the damage to the Lin family, and I am willing to be punished by family law. From now on, I am willing to do anything for the Lin family, even if it is sweeping the floor and carrying water, feeding the horses and chopping firewood, I am willing. Because I have to make up for my mistakes by my own actions. My life was given by everyone in the Lin family, and I will do my best for the Lin family until the last breath. Today, you are witnessing to me that Bonian will do what he says and will never break his word. ”

Lin Bonian's words were extremely sincere, and this was indeed his state of mind at the moment. After bringing such a big loss to the Lin family, he really hoped to be able to dedicate the rest of his life to the Lin family. In many cases, people will not understand things without experiencing a major accident, and Lin Bonian lived to be more than 50 years old, and it may be considered that he has truly enlightened himself today.

"The second uncle is serious, and the second uncle doesn't have to blame himself too much. I said that everyone in my Lin family should not be given up, not to mention that the second uncle is a person who has made significant contributions to the Lin family. smashed the pot and sold iron, knelt down and begged for help, and also rescued the second uncle. This is the oath I made. I would like to reiterate once again that all the children of the Lin family, regardless of the direct lineage, should understand one thing: the Lin family is the strongest backing for all of us, as long as you do not commit a heinous crime and are not tolerated by the world, the Lin family will not give up on you, and will do their best for you. This is what I hope will be my first admonition after I become the head of this family, and I will inform the brothers of the house. Let them know about it. ”

Lin Jue's voice was clear, but his words were firm. There is an unmistakable taste. Everyone on the seat finally entered the role, realizing that it was the head of the family who was lecturing in front of them, and couldn't help but straighten their waists and sit upright to show respect.

"What the head of the family said is very true, Bo Nian's escape from death this time is due to the strength of the whole clan. Although he paid a heavy price, he was not afraid of running out of firewood. The old man also expressed his attitude here, from now on, the old man is willing to obey the dispatch of the head of the house, even if it is sweeping the yard and watering the flowers, he must do his part. Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue smiled: "Thank you uncle, but how could my Lin family be reduced to the point of letting the second uncle go to be a miscellaneous servant?" Isn't that Lin Jue's incompetence? But having said that, I have to inform you of the current problems. In fact, there is no need for me to say more, we all understand the huge crisis that my Lin family is currently facing. Although an agreement was reached with the Liang Palace, the huge burden of 550,000 taels of silver per year is definitely a mountain pressing on our heads. In fact, it was not only 550,000 taels of silver. The livelihood of my Lin family's houses, and the expenses and expenses are also huge. I roughly estimated that at least 50,000 taels of silver should be spent on various expenses every year. In other words, this goal is 600,000 taels. It's definitely a big challenge. ”

Everyone in the Lin family was silent, and everyone's hearts felt like a boulder had been pressed. How easy is it to earn 600,000 taels of silver a year? The Lin family's industry is already very large, but the annual net income is only less than 200,000. With the current volume of business, it is necessary to triple it, so how can it be done?

Lin Bonian lowered his head and sighed, he knew that this huge debt was precisely because of saving himself. So when I heard this, I was even more depressed, and my face was pale.

"The head of the house, I make a suggestion, the expenditure of each of our houses should be reduced to a minimum, monthly silver, and daily consumption. The whole family should be able to save a lot of money by cutting down on food and clothing, and being thrifty and thrifty. The monthly allowance in my room has been reduced to twenty taels, so that in a year, I can also save a few thousand taels of silver for my family. If you do this in each house, the cost of the family can be reduced to about 10,000 taels a year. The savings were significant. Lin Boyong said in a deep voice.

"Yes, we will save a lot of money by cutting expenses in each house. Also, those gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings at home can be sold to solve urgent needs. Lin Song shouted.

"Agreed, agreed." All the sons said one after another. At a critical time, the Lin family was still united, but in fact, no one dared to say that they disagreed.

Lin Jue smiled and waved his hand: "Saving is naturally a good thing, but it's not a good way. The calligraphy, paintings, and antiques at home are all purchased and handed down by their ancestors, and they cannot be moved. It's easy to sell, but you also have to think about how easy it was for the ancestors to buy back then, but we sold it after it was handed down, didn't we become the loser of the Lin family? The method of deducting the monthly case is also not feasible, to be honest, the monthly silver of my Lin family's houses is not high, and many houses rely on this monthly silver of a few taels per month to make a living. Even if it is deducted, there is not much silver, and it will not help the overall situation, but it will be a disaster for the people in these rooms, and it is likely that they will not even be able to eat. So what is the significance of our decision to do our best to protect the Lin family's industry? Isn't it to preserve the industry and benefit the entire Lin family? ”

Everyone nodded silently, indeed, doing so would make the Lin family unstable. In this difficult time, people can't be panicked, otherwise there will be trouble.

Lin Jue muttered: "Open source and reduce expenditure, in my opinion, open source is the most important, of course, we must also put an end to those extravagant and wasteful actions in the past." But open source is about opening up new business and revenue streams, and that's what we need most right now. If the Lin family's existing business pattern is used, it will be an eye-opener if they desperately earn 250,000 taels of silver every year. Therefore, there must be new sources of income. The source is alive, and the whole plate is alive, this is my idea. ”

"Lin Jue, when you say that, do you already have any ideas? Why don't you talk about it? Don't beat around the bush. You are the head of the house, and we will support any decision you make. Lin Boyong said.

Lin Jue smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Uncle, I have really thought about it a lot in the past few days. Everyone will let me shoulder the burden of the Lin family, and I naturally can't live up to the expectations of the family. I do have a plan that I need to discuss with you today. ”

"Oh?" Everyone in the Lin family was suddenly in high spirits, Lin Jue already had a plan, but I don't know what kind of open source plan it is, which can solve the Lin family's crisis.

But seeing Lin Jue standing up, he arched his hand and said, "You wait a while, I'll go and invite two people to introduce you to you." ”

Lin Jue got up and left, leaving everyone in the Lin family staring at each other.

Lin Bonian got up and leaned over to Lin Boyong's side, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, does Lin Jue have a way?" ”

Lin Boyong said softly: "If he can't do it, no one in my Lin family will have a way." Your business is a mortal situation, and we are helpless, but Lin Jue still rescued you safely. I don't believe anyone now, only Lin Jue. ”

Lin Bonian nodded slowly and said, "Yes, except for Lin Jue, there is indeed no one to save my Lin family anymore." Hopefully it's a good plan, and I'm hoping for a way to turn things around and atone for my sins. ”

Lin Boyong waved his hand and said, "Second brother, don't keep saying such things, it's not your business alone, it's the Lin family as a whole." We must also fully support Lin Jue now, and the Lin family needs absolute unity now. ”

Lin Bonian nodded again and again and went back to sit down.

The waiting time was not long, and soon Lin Jue appeared next to the screen at the back door of the hall. There were indeed two people who came in with him, and they were two women. Nine times out of ten, everyone in the Lin family knows these two women, they are Xie Danhong and Xie Yingying in the original Hangzhou Moon Tower.

"Let me introduce to you, this one is Xie Yingying Xie Girl, and this one is Xie Danhong Xie Girl. Actually, everyone knows them, right? After all, they are all from Hangzhou. Yingying, Sister Danhong, these are my Lin family. This is my uncle, this is my second uncle, these are the sons of the second and third rooms of the long house......" Lin Jue smiled and introduced it to both sides.

Xie Yingying was very nervous, her face was slightly red, she was holding a Xiupa in her hand, and saluted everyone in the Lin family one by one. Although Xie Yingying is also a person who has seen big scenes, it stands to reason that she will not be so nervous. But this is the first time Xie Yingying has seen everyone in the Lin family, and she will marry Lin Jue in the future, so she has the feeling of an ugly daughter-in-law seeing her in-laws, and she is extremely nervous.

Xie Danhong was even more nervous, Xie Danhong was born in the Qinglou, and finally became the old bustard of the Qinglou. In the midst of the lowly family, there is no way to be so beautiful, and I always feel that the enemy is first-class in my heart. And the Lin family in Hangzhou was originally one of the best families in Hangzhou, and they were considered to be first-class people in Hangzhou, and they would be three points shorter when they saw these people for no reason. At this moment, seeing the faces of the Lin family staring at him, Xie Danhong was naturally extremely nervous.

Everyone in the Lin family looked at Lin Jue's face, maintained polite respect, and returned the salute one by one. However, everyone was a little puzzled, Lin Jue asked these two women to participate in an important family meeting, what did he want to do? It's a bit puzzling.

Lin Jue ordered someone to arrange a chair and let Xie Yingying and Xie Danhong sit aside. Only then did he turn his head to the crowd and said, "Uncle and Second Uncle, brothers." You should know that I opened a small business outside, which is the Jiangnan Grand Theater that I co-founded with these two people. This Jiangnan Grand Theater is specially open to the public to perform repertoire, similar to our Da Zhou's Washe Theater. Some people in my Lin family have also seen it, so I won't explain too much. Anyway, it's a business. ”

Lin Boyong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, should you be ...... If you want our Lin family to open this kind of big theater, let's do it. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Uncle, you guessed right. That's exactly what I thought, otherwise what would I do if I invited two Miss Xie to come here? ”

Lin Boyong groaned: "Lin Jue, I must remind you that my Lin family is not involved in this kind of industry. I'm afraid it won't work. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Why can't you get involved?" How doesn't it work? ”

Lin Boyong frowned and smacked his lips and said, "In short...... It is...... It's not suitable, it's not suitable. The ancestors of my Lin family have never done this kind of business. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "Uncle, my Lin family's ancestors only relied on acres of land and shops, didn't they also do business overseas later?" Didn't you start a boat shop later? It's all done step by step, and it's just a matter of adjusting the business strategy according to the situation. It doesn't make sense for you to use this as a reason. I actually understand what the uncle means, you think this kind of business is immoral, the uncle said bluntly, why go around in circles. ”

Lin Boyong nodded and said, "It's good that you understand, my Lin family is not involved in evil business." ”

Lin Jue sighed and said, "Uncle, what you said is not right. This is a serious business, and the people who engage in it are all serious people. Not all industries that entertain people are not all unscrupulous. Our big theater just writes a script for people to perform the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the world, why is it not serious? If you don't believe me, ask the rest of the family, is the Grand Theater an unserious business? ”

Lin Boyong looked at everyone in the Lin family, and Lin Bonian probed and said in a low voice: "Big brother, this is a serious way to make money by acting, not selling skin and meat." ”

Lin Boyong frowned and said, "How do you know?" ”

Lin Bonian smacked his lips and said, "I...... I've been to see it. I have seen the grand theater that Lin Jue opened in the capital, it is very beautiful and attractive. ”

Lin Boyong rolled his eyes, turned his head and asked the others, "Who else has been to see it?" ”

"Me."

"And me."

"Dad, we've seen it too."

For a moment, almost all of them nodded. Lin Boyong was stunned for a while and said, "It turns out that I am the only one who has not been to see it." Looks like I'm wrong. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Yes, Uncle was very strict with our children before, and he naturally refused to go out on this kind of occasion, so it's normal that I haven't seen it." Uncle must take a look another day, so as not to make jokes. ”

Lin Boyong smashed his mouth, touched his beard and said, "I always feel that it is not suitable." ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Does the uncle think it is appropriate for the royal family of Liang Wangfu to open a green building?" ”

"This ......"

"Among the two million taels of silver that Liang Wangfu gave us, there may be silver earned by Qinglou. Does Uncle think the money is not clean? But the court didn't feel afraid to enter, and happily saved the second uncle's life. Do you think this money should be used? Lin Jue said with a smile.
