In the inner room of Hanmo Studio, Lin Runzheng shook his head at Lin Qingyuan, "Your temper is too big, aren't you afraid he'll cut off this business deal?"

  "No," Lin Qingyan poured him a cup of tea and smiled: "As long as he's a businessman, he won't be so arrogant. Look at Zhao Sheng, we've already made such a scene, but this year he still obediently brought silver to place an order?"

  "I'm not a businessman, but if Zhao Sheng has good products that can make money, I won't mind placing an order." Lin Qingyan said: "We still have this bit of restraint between us."

  Lin Run shook his head, he was a Confucianist and adhered to the doctrine of the mean, so he said: "After all, it's too hurtful."

  Lin Qingwan smiled but didn't speak.

  Lin Run knew she didn't agree, so he didn't mention it again. He turned around to look outside and saw that many people were coming and going in the Hanmo Studio, with more than half of them rushing to buy bamboo paper. Some people couldn't wait in line and bought it at a high price from the store, while others asked Liu Guan Shi to give them a discount.

  He didn't expect that the bamboo paper was priced so high and yet there were still so many people chasing after it. Although he didn't know how much Huanmo Studio had earned, just thinking about the cost and pricing, looking at the current situation, he knew they had made a lot of money.

  He tilted his head to look at Lin Qingwan, who was about the same age as his daughter, but he didn't know when he started treating her not as a little girl, but as an equal with whom he could discuss things.

  By now, he has gotten used to asking her about major family matters as well.

  Thinking of Lin Xin who had been sent to Nan Han and the Lin family children who were about to take the Ming Jing exam, Lin Run slightly inclined his body and said: "Mei sister, I have something to discuss with you."

  "Brother Five, please speak."

  "I intend to use all my family's resources to support and help Yuer, so that he can make his best effort in the next imperial examination."

  "Lin You?"

  "Yes," Lin Run said, "He was admitted to the Imperial Academy through his own efforts and is the most talented among all the sons of the Lin family. If anyone has a chance to pass the imperial examination, it would be him."

  Lin Qingwan didn't say anything.

  This decision was too big for her, and she wasn't familiar with Lin You, only knowing that he was Lin Song's grandson.

  In the year of Gengwu disaster, Lin Song was one of those who went to rescue the side branch of the family. At that time, his wife was six months pregnant, so Lin You's father, Lin Ze, was a posthumous child.

  Sixth Uncle only had Lin Song as his older brother, so he treated this nephew as one of his own. Lin Zhi also took special care of them because of Lin Song's relationship with them.

  They only had Lin Ze serving in that house, but during his tenure, a flood occurred in the area under his jurisdiction, and he encountered an accident while going to rescue.

  The imperial court granted him a posthumous title and a temple name, but Lin Youcai was less than five years old at the time. He was raised by his sixth uncle and Lin Run.

  Apart from the last time he enlightened Lin Ji and left a deep impression on her, Lin Qingwen didn't have much of an impression of him in their previous encounters.

  But Lin Run said it right, he is indeed stronger than Lin Jia and them.

  Mobilize the entire clan's strength...

  Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and didn't say a word.

  The Lin family's connections are now in the hands of Lin Qingwen and Lin Run. Although no one has explicitly stated it, everyone knows that as the head of the clan, some old friends give more face to Lin Run.

  Lin Qingyuan, as Lin Zhi's daughter and Lin Jiang's younger sister, was favored by some of the old friends of the Lin family.

  For example, Liu Pei and Sun Huai, Lin Run and Lin Qingyuan spoke at the same time. The two people will definitely listen to Lin Qingyuan more.

  Not to mention the old subordinates in the Northeast Army, they are even more recognized as the legitimate branch of Lin.

  The connections in Lin Run's hands he could handle himself, no need to ask her, he obviously wanted her to take action.

  Wakabayashi Yū is a promising material, she naturally wants to lend a hand, but it's not that simple, there are some human feelings on her hands, and some have been used up.

  Lin Run saw that she didn't speak, and he didn't force her either. After returning, he found Lin You and said: "If the county school is not busy, go to your aunt's place often to take a look and run errands for her. She and your sister live alone in another courtyard, and there must be some inconvenience."

  Isn't Wan Jie Er hesitant because she can't decide between Lin You's talents? Then let them interact more.

  Lin You was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded in agreement.

  Lin Run stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Since your house is far from the institute, why don't you pack up and move to live in the school dormitory? It's more convenient that way."

  Lin You nodded in agreement.

  He went to discuss with his mother, Ms. Mi. After a moment of silence, she said: "Alright, your uncle is doing this for your own good. I'll get everything ready for you, and we'll leave tomorrow."

  Mrs. Mi helped him pack his luggage and restrained herself before asking, "Has your uncle mentioned anything about your marriage?"

  Lin You smiled and said: "Mother, I'm still young, no hurry."

  "You're already eighteen, you're not young anymore." Ms. Mi frowned and said: "Even if the children in our clan get married late, how many of them haven't had their marriages arranged by the time they're eighteen?"

  Lin You furrowed his brow. He didn't want to get married so early. Firstly, he wasn't in the mood for it, and secondly, there were limited choices for a partner at present.

  After all, his conditions were not good.

  His father died early, and he was separated from his uncle by one generation. Later, the position of clan leader was mostly inherited by his cousin, and his family business was not prosperous either.

  In this case, there were few people willing to marry him.

  Moreover, he didn't think eighteen was very old, as many of his peers got married only after they had capped their education.

  He wasn't in a hurry, but Mr. Mi couldn't help but feel anxious, seeing that he was not taking it seriously, Mrs. Mi thought of finding an opportunity to mention it to her younger brother and sister, letting them remind their uncle.

  At his age, he can't afford to drag things out any longer.

  Lin You had taken most of the courses in the school he entered two years ago, so there were very few classes that could be arranged for him to attend now.

  He crossed out several doctoral courses and decided to squeeze time from here to go to another institute.

  The doctoral courses are all two years for a period, and after the end, they start again. In the first two years, he has already listened to most of the doctoral courses, leaving only three courses that are not very important, so they were put at the end.

  These three courses are arranged very loosely, so on average, there may not be a class in one day. So he went to re-listen to the courses he had already learned, first to have a better learning atmosphere, and secondly to make up for the deficiencies.

  Now that he had other things to attend to, he naturally wanted to strike these few courses off his course schedule.

  Lin You moved into the prefectural school, which surprised his fellow students. The Lin family was located in the northern suburbs, and they had cars to pick them up back and forth. Moreover, the Lin family also had another mansion in the city. Everyone had never seen Lin You live in the prefectural school before.

  They couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lin, how did you move to the prefectural school?"

  Lin You smiled and said: "Isn't this thinking of spending more time studying? Lin You is foolish, but only hopes that diligence can make up for clumsiness."

  The classmates' eyes lit up and they gathered around, asking: "Brother Lin, have you received some news?"

  Lin You shook his head, "It was just during the New Year when I followed my uncle to pay respects to a few gentlemen, and deeply felt that my studies were not thorough, so I wanted to work harder."

  Classmates saw that they couldn't get any information from him, so they reluctantly left with regret.

  But everyone also studied harder.

  It has been three years since the last imperial examination, but the court has not held another exam, and it is unknown when the next one will be.

  Lin You suddenly became enthusiastic, and although everyone didn't say anything out loud, they were still excited in their hearts. Perhaps the imperial court was going to hold an examination?

  The Lin family is after all the largest clan in Jiangnan, and it's possible that they received some news ahead of time.

  Lin You didn't know what they were thinking and didn't care. After finishing today's class, he packed up his things and left the city for another courtyard.

  He arrived at another courtyard when Lin Qingwan was rolling up her sleeves to trim a Boneless Red, and Lin You was directly led in by the servants. As soon as he turned around the corner, he saw her standing under the plum tree carefully trimming the branches.

  Lin You took a step forward after a brief pause, "Nephew has seen aunt."

  Lin Qingwan turned around and smiled at him: "You came just in time, come help me trim the top few branches, they've grown too high, I can barely reach."

  Lin You took the scissors and carefully trimmed them, but still wondered in her heart, "Isn't it better to plant the red bones in the ground? Why did Auntie plant them in a pot?"

  Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "This is not mine, it was ordered by Lu Siye, to be sent tomorrow, so I thought of making it look better."

  Lu Siye's love for Mei is as famous as Zhou Shizhong's love for Ju.

  Lin You smiled slightly and quickly trimmed the precious plum blossom.

  Lin Qingwan wiped her hands and asked him, "How did you think of coming to see me?"

  Lin You bowed his head and said: "My uncle asked me to come over, so I'll come over to run errands for my aunt when I'm free."

  Lin Qingwan just smiled and said: "I have people under me to run errands, where would I need you?"

  "She thought for a moment and said: 'However, there are some things I'd like to ask you to take care of.'"

  "But please instruct your aunt."

  Lin Qing led him to the small study, "When Lin Xing left, we copied two books of our ancestors' notes for him. Only then did we discover that there were many useful things inside. However, those were our ancestors' notes and it wasn't good to take them out, lest they get lost, so we thought of copying some, either for our clansmen to study or to compile into a book and print."

  These notes have all been read by Lin Qingyan, so she quickly picked out the useful ones, which are now piled up on the table.

  Lin Qingwan smiled and said to Lin You: "You can start copying from my great-grandfather's notes."

  Lin Li's early notes were light and casual, mostly about his travels and learning experiences, which suited Lin Youzheng well.

  Starting from today, Lin You got into the habit of coming to the other courtyard every day to report. Of course, he didn't always stay in the small study copying books; every half hour or so, he would go out for a walk.

  He happened to meet Lin Qingwan when she was arranging flowers and plants, so he lent a hand. In just a few days, he became familiar with Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin, and occasionally stayed overnight in the other courtyard.

  Time flies quickly, when the first month is about to pass, Lin Run brings Lin Ji to find him, and he finally decides to join the army.

  Lin Qingwan did not stop him either. She wrote a letter of recommendation for him and gave him some travel expenses, encouraging him: "We await your triumphant return."

  Lin's aunt only said this one sentence, Lin Ji was not disappointed in his heart, he retreated with the letter.

  Lin Jia and Lin Hu were waiting in the clan hall, seeing him return, they swarmed up, "How was it? What did Auntie say?"

  Lin Jiqiang smiled and said: "Auntie has agreed and written a letter of recommendation for me, I plan to set off the day after tomorrow."

  Lin Wei asked in a low voice, "Has Lin Auntie also arranged for you to have a bodyguard?"

  Lin Jiqiang smiled and said: "The guards of the other courtyard are so hard to come by, where can they be easily obtained?"

  Not to mention guarding, there was no training at all. Everyone knew that Lin Xin had stayed in another courtyard for three days before leaving the house.
