Under the heavy snow, a convoy of more than ten people traveled from a corner of the county to the street where Lin's mansion is located.
Four horses and sixteen large boxes.
The horses were struggling to drag the cart, and the people behind them pushed it forward.
Even though there was a thick layer of snow and fog in the air, the servants who were on duty in front of the Lin Mansion could still see the scene in the distance.
"Get someone to help!"
Bai Song rubbed his hands and jumped around the door without stopping, but was not noticed by the servant.
"Hey! Call someone!"
Bai Song shouted again, and the servant just noticed.
"ah?"
"I've brought back the money the Lin family wants. I'm asking someone to help."
"oh."
The servant looked confused and didn't know what was going on. He just responded subconsciously and soon called a dozen helpers.
The Lin Mansion, which had just calmed down, became lively again because of more than a dozen boxes of money.
The initial confusion upon entering quickly turned into disbelief.
It was really sixteen boxes full of copper coins that were impossible to count.
In the Lin family, the servants also saw so much cash at once, and the entire Lin family became excited because of this.
…
"Miss! Miss...my uncle is back with money!"
In the deserted courtyard, Xiao Cui jumped in the snow like a happy rabbit, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and he hurriedly opened the door of the young lady's room.
However, he found that the young lady was not in the room at all. When he turned around, it turned out that the young lady had already gotten the news and ran out of the yard.
The news reached the master's room, which shocked both the master and his wife.
The couple didn't even have time to put on their belts and quickly walked to the front hall to see what was going on?
On the east side of the same house, Lin Xun's room could no longer sit still.
The woman who was hiding in the house to give advice to her little man stopped suddenly when she was halfway through the work. She got up to dress and wanted to take a look.
"Madam, we have reached a crucial point, why is this so? I don't want to, I don't want to..."
Lin Xun tore the bed curtains, pouting like a little daughter-in-law, making jokes and complaining on the bed.
The woman retorted and cursed: "You are so angry that your eyebrows are burning, and you still have time to have fun? You are such a useless waste..."
"Madam... Madam, I don't agree. Come back quickly. It's so cold outside..."
The woman ignored him and rushed out of the room before she even put on her clothes.
Lin Xun chased him out angrily. He didn't realize that he was naked. He was startled by the cold wind at the door. His whole body shivered and he lost all feeling in an instant.
…
Oops!
This is big news.
My good-for-nothing son-in-law went out for only two hours and brought back sixteen boxes of money.
This is even more outrageous than hearing legends about gods and monsters.
But the facts are before our eyes and no one can disbelieve them.
Everyone from the Lin Mansion to the housekeeper's dog came. They all gathered in the main courtyard and looked directly at Bai Song standing in the center.
"Oh my god, am I dreaming? So much money?"
"That guy couldn't have robbed this money, right? How could it be possible in such a short period of time..."
The servants were dumbfounded when they saw the money, talking about it and couldn't believe it.
Several little maids looked at the young man in the courtyard with longing: "The young man is a capable person at first glance. He cured the young lady and brought so much money back to the house in a short time. You bastards?" What are people qualified to say?”
"That's right! From the first moment my uncle entered our house, I knew that this young uncle was no ordinary person."
"Hey, where did Xiaolian go?"
The maid named Xiaolian had already trotted into the snow. When she came to Bai Song, she shyly handed over an umbrella: "Uncle, don't catch a cold in such heavy snow. Others used to look down on me, but Xiaolian I know that my uncle is the most capable person in the Lin family."
After finishing her words charmingly, she did not forget to rub her uncle's arm gently with the pair of mountains in front of her, and then returned to the corner of the yard with a wink.
Unfortunately, this scene was seen by Lin Xiang'er who was walking in a hurry. She held an umbrella in her arms, her delicate body wrapped in a thick cloak, wearing a velvet hat, and covered with a layer of white snow. However, the umbrella in her arms was not worn. No trace of wind or snow.
Lin Xiang'er's eyes flickered as she saw Bai Song standing in the courtyard holding an umbrella. Her hurried steps slowed down, and then she stood quietly in the corner, looking longingly at the man at the center of the world.
Lin Tingzheng finally arrived, looking at everything in front of him in shock.
Bai Song closed his umbrella, strode forward to greet him, and said loudly: "Mr. Lin, my son-in-law has prepared the fifteen hundred coins you want. Please take a look."
Lin Ting looked away from the box at the back and looked at Bai Song without saying anything.
Lin Tingzheng's brows were furrowed. He knew that the Lin family was in urgent need of money, but someone actually delivered the money to him. For some reason, he couldn't feel happy.
"Impossible... Could it be that our Lin family has fallen into such a state of poverty that we need to rely on the help of the poor family?"
"Master, there are sixteen boxes in total, each box contains one hundred guan, and the remaining one is wine, which costs 1,500 guan, just a little more."
A servant shouted loudly, his face full of excitement, but he didn't notice that his master had a bad expression.
Butler Liu stepped forward and asked: "Master, should this money be transferred to the warehouse first? It happened that Boss Jia came to ask for money..."
Lin Ting took a deep breath and closed his eyes heavily. He was a little reluctant, but he still nodded.
Butler Liu glanced at Bai Song, turned around and waved his hand: "Transfer to the warehouse!"
After saying that, the servants were in action, and the whole Lin family was in a lively scene.
"Where did the money come from?"
"Given by the Xia family, a wine merchant in Mang County."
"What benefits did you promise me?"
"Naming rights for Xiao Sui Ping."
"Naming rights?"
Bai Song patiently explained the "naming rights" again.
After Lin Tingzheng understood, his expression changed: "That's unreasonable! 'Xiao Sui Ping' is a gathering place for literati in Youzhou, how can it be contaminated by the smell of copper?"
Bai Song was very calm and said calmly: "Mr. Lin, this is the solution I gave. If Mr. Lin is not satisfied, you can return the money to the Xia family and pretend that nothing happened. Of course, you can also follow the bet. Make an appointment and drive me away from the Lin family. But Mr. Lin will have to sell his property to fill the vacancy."
"You dare to threaten me?"
"With or without me, the Lin family is in trouble, why am I the one threatening?"
"Sir!" Mother Lin suddenly interrupted, "We are all going to sell our property, so why do we need all the dignity? If the Lin family sells their property because of your master, how can they live up to their ancestors? Although the method of the Bai Song Dynasty is surrounded by clouds and fog, I don’t know why, but after all, I found money and plugged the gap. It’s just a few slogans of Xiajia Winery on the small Sui Ping. With such a good deal, how can there be no reason not to do it?”
Bai Song disdains Lin Tingzheng's behavior and attitude, but because he is Xiang'er's father, Bai Song does not want to have a stalemate with him.
Bai Song knew very well that Mr. Lin wanted a step up.
After a moment's hesitation, he said: "The fact that a merchant can sponsor the Xiao Sui Ping is a recognition of the Xiao Sui Ping and the Lin family. If it were held elsewhere, no merchant would be willing to pay 1,500 guan. The sky-high price for the title. This shows that the Lin family has a profound influence under the leadership of Mr. Lin. I just borrowed the reputation of the Lin family and did something that went along with the flow. If it were another company, Xiajia Winery would not have paid so much. . In this cooperation, both parties will win-win, each will make money and each will have dignity."
"Yes, sir, Bai Song has said a lot, so don't get too carried away."
"Hey! That's all..." Lin Ting was waving his hands, "That's it."
"Then my bet with Mr. Lin..."
Lin Tingzheng frowned: "From now on, you can come in and out of the Lin Mansion at will. But... Xiang'er's matter does not count."
"Why?!"
"This is a matter of life for Xiang'er, and it is up to her to decide. She also said that she does not agree with the bet at all."
"What?" Bai Song was shocked, "Mr. Lin, how could you go back on your promise? You have obviously promised..."
"This is what Xiang'er said personally and has nothing to do with me!"
"Dad!" A crisp voice came from the other side.
Lin Xiang'er trotted with a look of worry on her face: "Daughter...Daughter, why did my daughter never say she wouldn't agree..."
Bai Song gave up as soon as he heard this. He looked at Lin Tingzheng and said to himself, let's see how you explain it.
Lin Tingzheng was also stunned. He didn't lie this time. It was indeed his daughter who came to him crying and told him that she didn't agree. Why did her daughter change her story now?
"Daughter, you came here in the snow and said nothing..."
Lin Xiang'er lowered her head and blushed, but refused to admit it: "Dad, my daughter has always stayed in the room, never left..."
"Daughter, you...you..."
"Dad, Bai Song has found so much money for the Lin family. He is willing to admit defeat. Whatever... should be done, just do it. It's okay for my daughter to feel aggrieved..."
"Hey!" Lin Ting was stomping his feet, his old face was extremely ashamed.
Xin asked how the daughter she had taught could say such shameless words!
But at this point, how could he not know where his daughter's heart was?
He immediately said nothing, shook his sleeves, left his wife and walked away quickly.
Mother Lin looked on in confusion and asked her daughter: "Are you willing to admit defeat? What exactly are you betting on?"
Lin Xiang'er was so ashamed that she lowered her head and said coquettishly: "It's nothing, mother, please don't ask."
Mother Lin looked at the young couple and her doubts were not diminished. She caught up with her husband and wanted to ask more questions.
When Lin's mother chased her back to her house, she saw her husband and asked about the reason. Her expression immediately changed.
"Master, why are you so confused? How did this happen?"
Lin Ting was drinking in his room and spread his hands: "Who would have thought that that kid could actually raise fifteen hundred dollars in one day!"
"I took this opportunity to drive him out of the Lin family, but I didn't want to backfire!"
"No! We can't let that guy do whatever he wants. Xiang'er is so noble, how can he live and walk with that humble lowly?"
With that said, Mother Lin was about to go out.
Lin Ting was shouting: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to tell that boy, if he dares to think anything wrong, I'll beat him to death!"
"Are you crazy? Our Lin family still has no shame? The bet was made in the main hall, and many servants outside could hear it clearly. Can we still regret it now?"
"But...but what about my Xiang'er? Wasn't she ruined by that boy?"
"Now that the matter is over, let them live together! You quickly find an opportunity to tell your daughter, let her know how powerful it is, and keep your innocence. When I find an opportunity, I will drive that guy away."
…
On the other side, the servants of the Lin Mansion saw a strange scene.
In the blizzard, the unknown uncle picked up the young lady by the waist and ran from the front yard to the backyard, shouting the young lady's name crazily like a mad dog in the snow.
"Come here! Move all my uncle's things to the lady's boudoir. From now on, the lady's boudoir will also be my uncle's boudoir! Xiang'er, from now on we will be best friends! Hahaha..."
