The seventh day of the first month has just passed, and Hanmo Studio has officially put out bamboo paper for sale at a fixed price, which is exactly the same as that of Xuan paper.

  They didn't do any promotion, they just said it was new paper when people asked and that you could get some gifts if you bought it.

  The business of Hanmo Pavilion was much worse than before, but it was still the largest bookstore in Suzhou City, and its reputation had always been very good, with many loyal customers.

  Children from poor families would naturally not buy bamboo paper, but a large part of the wealthy people are willing to try.

  Moreover, in the New Year's gifts sent by the Lin family to each household last year, bamboo paper was also included, so it is not nameless.

  Naturally, this does not include the Zhao family.

  However, Zhao Sheng had always sent someone to keep an eye on the Lin family's movements and naturally soon found out that the Lin family had come up with a new high-quality paper whose quality was not inferior to Xuan paper.

  He sent someone to secretly buy a box back and tried it out before falling silent.

  "Second Master, although we haven't gone to Lin's Bookstore yet, someone has already suggested that we go and talk with them." The shopkeeper of the Zhao family bookstore asked cautiously, "Do you think our family should go?"

  Zhao Sheng remained silent for a moment before bursting out laughing and turning to ask him, "So you think we should go home or not?"

  The owner of the bookstore, sweating profusely, said: "The quality of this bamboo paper is not inferior to Xuan paper, and the Lin family is not an unknown family. In the future, I'm afraid its status will not be lower than that of Xuan paper, so I think our family should also send someone."

  "You know it already, what else are you asking?!" Zhao Sheng suddenly flared up and said: "Still not sending someone to negotiate?!"

  "Yes, yes, I'll go now."

  The Lin family produced a paper as good as rice paper, and four bookstores put it on the shelves at the same time. It seems they still have a lot of stock left.

  Everyone knows that the future trend of this paper will not be weaker than Xuan paper, because no one can suppress the Lin family.

  The Lin family is no ordinary household; they have many ways to make them submit, but they are a prominent clan in Jiangnan.

  Although Lin Jiang is dead, there are still a duchess and a countess of the Lin family.

  Although these two have no power, they can still make a plea to the emperor. If it really comes down to it, the emperor will still take their side.

  When it was known that this bamboo paper came from Lin's family villa, some people began to think of Lin Qingwan and Lin Yuhong.

  If I could marry both of them...

  Some people started secretly inquiring about the marriage of the two sisters.

  "Lin Junzhu is still young now, deeply in love with Xiao Shuo, thinking she can spend her whole life with Xie Erlang. But when she gets older, she will realize that all these emotions and love are just fleeting clouds. After she finishes her filial duties, I'll send someone to sound out her intentions. My second son is talented and handsome, still worthy of being a county magistrate."

  But more people are aiming at Lin Yuhbin, after all, Lin Qingwan has been married before and is emotionally compatible with Xie Yimeng, so they have some reservations in their hearts.

  These people were thinking about the marriage between the aunt and niece, while several old men from the Lu family gathered together to discuss the current situation, "The Lin family will not be defeated easily."

  Lu Su laughed and said, "Hao Yu brother's plan is indeed well laid. Lin Junzhu is intelligent and has a noble title. With her by his side, the Lin family gains an extra layer of protection. Moreover, Lin Run is gentle and open to advice. The two of them together will make it difficult for the Zhao family to bring down the Lin family."

  Lu Ran disapprovingly said: "The Zhao family's table manners are too ugly, it hasn't been long since Lord Lin left. Bullying two weak women isn't shameful?"

  Lu Sanlang shook his head and said, "Wu Lang, if you think of Lin Guizhu as a weak and timid woman, then you are wrong. In this world, apart from gentlemen and petty men who should not be underestimated, there are also women."

  Lu Ran curled up the corner of his mouth and asked, "Third Brother, apart from gentlemen and petty men, there are only women in this world."

  "You say I'm short-sighted and you don't believe it, but how many gentlemen are there in this world, and how many petty people?" Lu Sanlang shook his head and said: "Among the multitude of people, most are ordinary."

  Lu Su shook his head and didn't bother with the two of them, but instead turned to his elder brother and said: "Big Brother, why not lend a helping hand to the Lin family? Adding flowers to brocade is after all not as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather."

  Lu Dalang furrowed his brow, "The Lin family has no requests at present, what can I do for him?"

  Lu Su smiled and said: "How can there be no request? I heard Yu'er say that this year, many young men from the Lin family will participate in the selection of Ming Jing Ke."

  Lu Dalang was surprised, "Isn't it true that the Lin family only takes the imperial examination and never takes the Mingjing examination?"

  Lu Su said meaningfully: "That's why I said Lin Shangyong can't be defeated."

  Unless they are unlucky enough to encounter another disaster like the Gengzi Tragedy, a family that can yield and adapt will have strong survival abilities.

  Lu Daren suddenly became thoughtful, the Ming Jing Ke was not difficult, but he had been responsible for the Ming Jing Ke's question-making and examination for many years. In these two years, although he was idle at home, his business ability still existed.

  Personally guiding is not necessary, but giving some notes is not difficult.

  Moreover, passing the imperial examination is indeed not difficult. The children of poor families have few books and little time to read, so it's understandable if they can't pass. But the Lin family doesn't have these problems, as long as they're not too stupid, they should all be able to pass.

  Lu Daren secretly agreed, but didn't show it on his face. Lu Su also stopped mentioning it. If the Lin family was willing, they would naturally come to ask for themselves.

  I thought I had to wait for a while, after all, the science exam is in April.

  Who would have thought that at twelve o'clock Lin Run had already handed over the invitation card and wanted to bring a few nephews to pay their respects.

  Lin Run was worried about the career path of the young men in the clan, while Lin Qingwen was worried about their business talents.

  She looked at the several bundles of grass paper in front of her and asked with a headache, "Are you going to sell them like this?"

  "We don't have a shop at home, selling by carrying is the most convenient and cost-effective way."

  The first batch of children had twelve, don't look at Lin Chuanxun, but this kid was very clever and learned the best among them.

  As soon as he came out, he pulled in three classmates who were also brothers to cooperate and planned to occupy the Suzhou market before other brothers graduated or woke up.

  Today was their first day of opening, but unfortunately, they ran into Lin Qingwen who had just returned to pay her New Year's respects as soon as they left Linjiazhuang, so they were intercepted.

  Lin Qingwan walked around the three of them in a circle, finally having someone move a stool from the carriage for her to sit on. She found that the three of them were standing too tall and she had to look up at them when speaking, so she beckoned with her hand: "Come, come over here and squat down in front of your aunt."

  Lin Chuan and the other two were somewhat displeased, thinking that was too much like a dog. However, in the Lin family, one level of seniority could crush people, so although they were unhappy, they still squatted down in front of her, looking up at Lin Qingyuan.

  Lin Qingwan smiled and asked them, "Do you know where all the draft papers you made while studying went?"

  "Didn't Aunt collect all of them?" Lin said, "The raw materials were all provided by Aunt, so the paper made from them naturally belongs to Aunt too."

  "Do you know how many sheets of paper you produce in a day?"

  "How can this be calculated, with so many people, moving basket after basket to the warehouse, how can it be calculated?" Lin Chuan furrowed his brow and said: "However, the one in charge of accounting is that kid Lin Jin, he probably knows."

  "Then make an estimate."

  Lin Chuan furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying uncertainly: "At least one or two thousand knives."

  Lin Qingwan slapped his forehead and said, "Since you know, how dare you think about occupying the Suzhou market? Are you stupid? Are my two bookstores just decorations?"
