Chapter 567: The Head of the House
Lin Boyong looked at the wrench, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Once upon a time, because this wrench was taken away, he became a marginal member of the Lin family. At first he couldn't figure it out, he was angry. But after reflection, he felt that he was not competent. Over time, it was relieved. Now that this wrench is back in front of him, Lin Boyong can't help but sigh in his heart, and it is difficult to speak.
Lin Boyong stretched out his old finger and grabbed the wrench. All the sons sighed, thinking in their hearts: He still wants to be the head of the family. But the next moment, they all opened their mouths with wide eyes and dismay.
Lin Boyong took the wrench, raised it in the light and squinted for a while, then took Lin Jue's hand and slowly put it on Lin Jue's thumb.
Lin Jue was stunned and said, "Uncle, you are ......"
Lin Boyong stretched out his hand and patted the back of Lin Jue's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, the eldest uncle is old, and he can't be a heavy responsibility anymore." The uncle is also incompetent, and after being the head of the family for more than 20 years, the Lin family has not seen any improvement. It was even more ...... during Bonian's reign Ay! Do not say. The Lin family is now at the moment of survival, and we can no longer let mediocre people be the masters of the family, what we need is people who dare to make decisions and have a far-sighted vision. You juniors are needed to lead the Lin family forward. Lin Jue, you are the best of the next generation of the Lin family, no matter how talented, scheming, and courageous, no other son can compare with you. Therefore, you should be the head of this family. β
Lin Jue hurriedly said, "Uncle, how can this be?" β
Lin Boyong smiled: "Of course you can, at this time, you should be responsible." Do you want the Lin family to go astray again? I dare to say that there is no one in the next generation who does not admire you. Not to mention that you are the champion of the solution yuan, adding glory to the lintel of my Lin family. Let's take the matter in front of me as an example, when I rushed to the capital with everyone, I discussed it on the ship for a few days, but we didn't come up with a solution. We don't know what to do when we get to the capital? But you've prepared everything and thought of countermeasures. If it weren't for you, we'd all be scurrying around like headless flies right now, and we wouldn't have a clue at all. Moreover, this plan has been arranged in every detail, and it is in the best interests of my Lin family, which is convincing. If you are not the head of this family, who is qualified to be the head of the family? You don't have to shirk, it is your responsibility to revitalize the Lin family, and you must shoulder it. β
Lin Jue didn't know what to say, and turned his head to look at the sons. Lin Quan shouted: "Lin Jue, don't shirk, no one can be the head of this family except you." Uncle is right, for the sake of the Lin family, you must be the head of this family. β
"That's right, Lin Jue, you're the only candidate. Don't worry, we've got your back. The crowd shouted.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "I'm afraid I'll mess up." β
Lin Boyong laughed and said, "Can it be more smashed than now?" Lin Jue, you can do it boldly, Uncle can still help you. The fate of the head of the family needs to be decided by the family meeting, but at very moments, there is no need to stick to it. All of us sitting here are direct family members and a few respectable side uncles. Let's decide this matter together, go back to Hangzhou and then gather the clansmen to announce it. Do you have any objection to this? β
Who would object? Even if you want to oppose it, you don't dare to say it at the moment, isn't that making trouble for yourself? What's more, at this time, except for Lin Jue, no one can preside over the overall situation. At that moment, everyone agreed. Needless to say, Lin Quanzi would definitely agree, Lin Boyong, Huang Changqing and others would agree. Several uncles were also selected by Lin Jue to take care of things, so they were naturally very satisfied with Lin Jue. Although Lin Chang and Lin Sheng brothers had some mustard in their hearts, after all, their father's head of the family was masturbated, but Lin Jue was determined to save Lin Bonian and made so many preparations for this, they saw it in their eyes and were grateful in their hearts, so naturally they would not object.
Although Lin Song and Lin Run were a little unhappy in their hearts, their father agreed, so how could they object. Therefore, everyone in the hall unanimously approved Lin Jue to become the new head of the Lin family. Lin Jue couldn't refuse, he wouldn't tell anyone, this was actually the inevitable result of this incident, and it was also the result he could think of.
The purple colorful wrench was put on Lin Jue's thumb, and Lin Jue looked down at it, feeling infinite emotion in his heart. He finally became the head of the Lin family, although it was under this special circumstances. This head of the family has some meaning of being ordered in danger. But at least there is one thing that can be guaranteed, after becoming the head of the family, the Lin family will at least not deviate like in the previous life, resulting in the destruction of the entire clan. At least I have the right to control it.
But at the same time, the burden of the big family of hundreds of people is also on his shoulders, and whether he can lead the Lin family to have a better development is also a difficult task. And now, this is the first major test.
"There is a long way to go, so let's work hard." Lin Boyong patted Lin Jue's shoulder and said this sentence was exactly what Lin Jue was thinking at the moment.
β¦β¦
The next morning, Lin Jue and Lin Boyong went to the old palace to meet Guo Bing, and Guo Bing and his son met them in the study.
Lin Boyong expressed his gratitude to the prince for his help, and said a lot of kind words such as 'help each other with righteousness, great kindness and great virtue dare not or forget'. Guo Bing naturally accepted it calmly. But what Lin Boyong didn't know was that Guo Bing was strongly opposed to Lin Jue's determination to rescue Lin Bonian at the beginning. As for the so-called 'Great Kindness and Great Virtue Righteous Helping Hand' this time, it was also decided to help after Lin Jue and Guo Caiwei were entangled in the death and hard work, and after taking care of the development of the situation and the interests of the palace.
It is said that yesterday afternoon, Lin Jue and Guo Caiwei returned to the palace uninvited. Lin Jue didn't hide it, and after greeting him, he threw out the bombshell news and reported to Guo Bingyu about the deal that was finally reached with Yan Zhengsu Fang Dunru in Yude Building that day. At that time, Guo Bing's mouth was wide open in surprise, and his expression was sluggish.
On the one hand, Guo Bing didn't expect that Lin Jue didn't hear his words in his heart at all, and his attitude that day was just perfunctory. He's still doing it his own way. Treat your words as a fart. On the other hand, Guo Bing didn't expect Lin Jue to actually go to make a deal with Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, and actually reached a deal, which simply surprised Guo Bing.
With Guo Bing's understanding of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, he knew that these two people were six relatives who did not recognize each other, and it was impossible for him to give up his position because of Lin Jue's relationship with them. It is precisely because of his understanding of these two people that Guo Bing strongly recommended that Lin Jue not to get involved in this matter, because it is easy to get angry. But the fact that they would make a deal with Lin Jue can only show that their understanding of Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru is very superficial.
Of course, Guo Bing was still a little skeptical of Lin Jue's words, so Lin Jue gave him a detailed analysis at that time. Lin Jue told Guo Bing that Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru's biggest weakness now was actually in the change they were about to implement. Only this thing can really tug at their nerves. I hit the things they are most concerned about from two aspects.
The first is whether or not the three envoys can be successfully impeached and the destruction of the three divisions' yamen can be completed, which will not only establish authority but also prepare for the change of law. The second is to see that one of the purposes of their change is to improve the finances of the imperial court. There is nothing more than giving a large sum of money to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court, which can reflect the immediate effect brought by Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. With a slight move, two million taels of silver immediately entered the treasury, which was exactly what Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru needed to show to the emperor and the imperial court. These two points are needed by them, and they will naturally prefer to give up some principled things and agree to their own conditions.
After listening to Lin Jue's explanation, Guo Bing secretly sighed. It is not as good as Lin Jue to analyze the problem by himself, so many years of experience are in vain. He only saw the appearance, but Lin Jue deeply understood the hearts of those two people. And to dare to blackmail them, what guts and courage is required. Of course, all this has to do with Lin Jue and Fang Dunru's solemn and solemn contact with them, and may know their details. I suffered a loss because I didn't have a chance to have a heart-to-heart with these two people. But even so, it is still amazing that Lin Jue can make such a transaction.
However, Guo Bing was a little unhappy, Lin Jue even dared to threaten his teacher and Yan Zhengsu, which shows that this person is bold and does not pay attention to rules. This kind of person is actually the most terrible and the most difficult to deal with, because nothing can restrain him. He just does what he wants to do, and doesn't care about anything else. He will inevitably incur the dissatisfaction of Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu by doing so, and these two people are afraid that they will not have time to take care of him at the moment, but they will definitely settle accounts with him in the future. As for Guo Bing, he never wanted Lin Jue and Fang Dunru to be solemn and stiff, because that would make Lin Jue lose a large part of his value.
Guo Bing's other unhappy point is that Lin Jue still didn't take his words seriously after all. Although his words were slapped in the face by Lin Jue with reality, it has always been the privilege of the superior to know his mistakes and not change them. What Guo Bing hopes is that even if he is wrong, others will carry out his orders to the letter. Right or wrong is not important, obedience and obedience are the most important.
Therefore, when Lin Jue asked the prince to invest in the acquisition of all the Lin family's properties and help him quickly raise two million taels of silver, Guo Bing refused on the spot without giving this son-in-law any affection. When he saw the depressed expression on Lin Jue's face, Guo Bing was indescribably happy and happy.
'I'm going to make you dumb, this time I'm not going to make you deflated in front of me.' You think I'll agree, but I'll let you have a bunch. Guo Bing thought happily in his heart, he didn't know why he was so naΓ―ve, he actually ate his son-in-law's flying vinegar, and was jealous that Lin Jue was more capable than himself.
Although Lin Jue was very depressed, he was not panicked, because she had a killer feature. His killer weapon is the little county lord. Before coming, the husband and wife discussed what to do if King Liang did not agree. The strength of the little county lord deduces the image of what is the water splashed by the daughter who marries out, and what is the image of the elbow turning outward.
"Daddy, if you don't help in this matter, we don't blame you. But her daughter is now a member of the Lin family, and Wei'er must advance and retreat with the Lin family. The daughter decided to sell the house of Daxiangguo Temple, sold all the family property and jewelry, and also raised money to save her husband's second uncle. If the money is not enough, Vile will have to find someone to borrow it. In short, no matter what, you have to scrape together this money to save people. Even if Wei'er wears cloth clothes in the future, gnaws steamed buns, goes out to sew and wash people, and even begs for food, she will definitely not embarrass her father. β
The little county lord's words made Guo Bing glare. Although she knew that her daughter's words were threatening to blackmail herself, with Caiwei's temper, maybe she really did it. Sell your property to make money? After that, wear cloth clothes and eat steamed buns, or even beg for food? It's not her face that's lost, it's just her old face that she lost.
