Chapter 397: Reverse Slap in the Face
Seeing Qinglu's appearance, Brother Shi also smiled faintly in his heart. He remembered that in the last gambling contract, there was a clause that asked Lin Jinlun to kneel down and apologize to Qingshuang...... I don't know if she still cares about this now.
But no matter what, this month-long gambling contract, and the Lin family's crisis this time is also time to end. I still have to go to Dong Qingyun today! And there are more important things to do in the future, Jiangnan Poetry Club...... I don't know what the outcome will be.
The ancestral hall of the Lin family still wanted to stand with the same majesty as last time, but this time, perhaps because the weather was sunny or because he was in a good mood, Brother Shi did not feel the rotten atmosphere of last time...... glanced at Lin Yingyue beside her, and then stepped forward to open the closed door of the ancestral hall.
With the sound of "squeak" opening the door, everyone in the ancestral hall also turned their heads to look at Shi Yuan. Unlike last time, Brother Shi was not alone in the rain this time, he was full of embarrassment like last time, Lin Yingyue and Lin Xu stood next to him, followed by Qingshuang and Qinglu. And like last time, what hasn't changed is Brother Shi's way of greeting: I saw him looking at everyone, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said, "Hello everyone!" ”
Although Brother Shi's opening method was the same as last time, this time, Lin Yan also learned to be obedient. He didn't stand up against Shi Yuan like last time, but just glanced at Shi Yuan and the others coldly, and Lin Jinlun, Lin Jinbo and others were still the same.
After Brother Shi finished speaking, he smiled faintly at these people again. He still remembered the last time he came to the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall was full of people, surrounding Qinglu and Lin Yingyue. And now...... Looking at the scattered people of the Lin family in front of him, Brother Shi sighed secretly in his heart.
Lin Chengming made a move this time, and he really made up his mind. 500,000 taels of silver, all of which were given to those clansmen of the Lin family, this is really reluctant. This is also enough to see that most of the clansmen of the Lin family are just separated from the Lin family...... That's fine, that's fine!
"Hmm~" Lin Chengming, who was sitting in the hall, saw Shi Yuan and the others coming in, so he hummed softly, and then looked at everyone and said: "Now everyone is here, Nylon, you come out and tell me, what do you want to do today!" ”
Obviously, you called everyone to the ancestral hall, but now you want me to talk about it...... For Lin Chengming, who pretended to be confused, although Lin Jinlun understood in his heart, there was no good way. I thought so in my heart, but I still stood up and said: "Father, it's only a month today, I'm waiting for you, I hope Shi Yuan and Yingyue can wait for me to give me an explanation!" ”
As soon as his voice fell, without waiting for Lin Chengming to speak, Shi Yuan took the lead in standing up: "Oh? I don't know what you want? ”
"Naturally, it's our bet, Shi Yuan! Don't you want to deny it? Our Lin family ......"
As Lin Jinlun was talking, Brother Shi smiled slightly again and interrupted him: "Denied? Why should I deny it? It's not like I lost this bet......"
Although there were not as many people in the hall as last time, Brother Shi's words still caused a noisy discussion. Lin Jinbo was the only one, and he didn't say anything, just frowned deeply and looked at Shi Yuan thoughtfully...... Ever since he saw Shi Yuan come back the day before yesterday without incident, he had been faintly feeling that something was wrong, so after seeing Shi Yuan today, he asked carefully.
"Shi Yuan! You dare to make a big deal of nonsense here, and now all the workshops and shops in Yangzhou have fallen into the hands of the Jin family, what else can you do? The supply of goods this month is not available, and I believe that soon those officials and academies will turn around and go to the Jin family......"
Although Brother Shi's words caused a lot of discussion among everyone, Lin Jinlun quickly reacted: he absolutely didn't believe that Shi Yuan would have any good way! As soon as his voice fell, everyone stopped talking and turned their heads to look at him. Although the Lin family is completely hopeless in their eyes now, they prefer to come to embarrass Shi Yuan.
Seeing this, Brother Shi didn't bother to go around in circles with them, so he said with some sneer: "Tut...... I didn't expect you to know that today is the delivery time, which is a bit rare! ”
Lin Jinlun's face turned red with anger, but Brother Shi didn't give him a chance to speak, and after finishing speaking, he continued: "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, all the goods have been delivered yesterday, and now they are all on the way!" If you don't believe me, check out the new workshop! ”
This...... Hearing Shi Yuan's words, except for Lin Yingyue and the others, as well as Lin Chengming who was sitting in the hall, everyone else was surprised! Because Shi Yuan's appearance doesn't look like he's lying...... Could it be that he really did?
"Yes...... However, a few days ago, there were rumors in the city that your newly built workshop had an accident, and your grandfather also kicked you out of the mansion......" Lin Yanshun reacted first, and asked a little disbelievingly.
And Brother Shi heard it, but he just glanced at Lin Yan contemptuously, and smiled faintly: "I said my Young Master Sun, do you think everyone is a straw bag like you?" If not, how could the Jin family be willing to buy the workshops and shops in Yangzhou? ”
When these words were spoken, it was as if there was still in this ancestral hall, and no one spoke for a long time. Who would have thought that that day Lin Chengming angrily drove Shi Yuan out of the mansion with a cane, as if he was acting again? Even Lin Jinbo, who had been suspicious before, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded at this time...... Because they had never been to the newly built workshop, they couldn't imagine how Shi Yuan had done it with a workshop.
This is really hard to believe, and at this time, the foodie official happened to say that he coincidentally walked in from the ancestral hall with a stack of papers, and then walked in front of everyone without saying a word, put the stack of papers on the ground, and then said to Lin Chengming on the stage: "Master, I got this paper back!" ”
Lin Chengming, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, nodded silently at first, then looked at Lin Jinlun and the others in the hall and said: "These papers are made by the newly built workshop, if you still don't want to believe it, you can take a look...... This paper is much better than before......"
Lin Jinlun and the others looked at the stack of papers in front of them, but you looked at me, I looked at you, and I couldn't say a word for a long time. They have endured it for a long time these days, and they see that this world is about to come, but now, Shi Yuan tells them that what they saw before is an illusion...... This kind of time with full reasons, when I was ready to make trouble with others, I was slapped in the face by others...... Such a gap is really very uncomfortable!
All the words that were prepared, all the means that had been thought of, at this moment, were all useless...... At this time, the most wonderful face is none other than Lin Jinlun, when he bet, his voice was the loudest!
