Lin Zhengying has always been very optimistic about Lin Jingsheng. He feels that Lin Jingsheng is more tactful and smart than his father Lin Guanying.
Therefore, he always felt that Lin Jingsheng would go further in the official career than his father.
However, Lin Jingsheng didn't have much contact with Wangjiang, so he didn't know much about Lin Jingsheng's situation.
When she saw Lin Jingsheng's letter, she was immediately stunned.
The Lin family was originally a merchant. Although Lin Guanying's lineage entered the officialdom, they had no foundation.
Lin Jingsheng has been studying at Guozixue for several years, but there has been no improvement.
It is not easy for a poor student to get a phoenix on a branch.
However, at the conference where Guozixue was renamed Guoxue, Duan Wenjun became famous for his twenty-two-character mantra, and Lin Jingsheng saw a shortcut.
The children and ladies of dignitaries usually looked down upon him, but recently they always invited him to drink wine and enjoy the flowers.
There is only one reason, and that is because he and Duan Wenjun are from the same hometown, and they hope to hear some anecdotes about Duan Wenjun from him.
Moreover, the stories Lin Jingsheng made up before were very satisfying to these people.
However, in a short period of time, he actually became a frequent visitor to various houses in Beijing, and he also became a celebrity.
Everyone knows that he, Lin Jingsheng, is Duan Wenjun's hometown, and everyone knows that he, Lin Jingsheng, often has the latest news about Duan Wenjun.
Even if it was just a random fabrication, Lin Jingsheng would not allow Duan Wenjun's popularity to decrease.
He needs to create various opportunities and create various topics to maintain Duan Wenjun's popularity in the upper beam.
Therefore, he hoped that Lin Zhengying could help him and that the Wangjiang Lin family could help him.
Help him collect and organize all the information about Duan Wenjun so that he can have a steady stream of new information.
He needed to ride on Duan Wenjun's popularity and use this period of time to establish a good relationship with the disciples of the Liang family. If he could be favored by a young lady from that family, then the day would not be far when he would rise to prominence.
When Lin Jingsheng becomes prosperous, that will be the prosperity of the entire Lin family.
When the time comes, it will naturally be possible to take care of the Wangjiang Lin family.
Therefore, this matter is very important, not only related to his official career, but also related to his connections in Shangliang, and even more related to the future of the Lin family.
Lin Zhengying didn't understand things in officialdom.
But he understood that Lin Jingsheng was using this incident to find support.
With a backer, it will be easier to be an official in the future.
Of course, he understood that Duan Wenjun was also popular in the capital.
The reason why it is so popular is because of the hype of his nephew Lin Jingsheng.
The purpose of such hype is that Lin Jingsheng can make friends with dignitaries in the capital and gain a good future.
It seems that this path is better than his attempt to use Duan Wenjun's path to catch up with the eldest princess...
Therefore, he immediately called all three sons over and carefully discussed what to do and how to help Lin Jingsheng.
Hearing his father's question, Lin Jinglei was the first to speak, "Duan Wenjun's poems, once sung by Xiu Yu'er, immediately became popular in Wangjiang City. I didn't expect this kid to be so popular in Shangliang."
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Hearing Lin Jinglei's praise of Duan Wenjun, Lin Jingyun felt very unhappy, "Father, I think this is too ridiculous. I need to remind Jing Sheng carefully every time he sticks to Duan Wenjun. Yes, it's definitely not good."
Lin Zhengying frowned and said nothing.
In fact, he also felt that what Lin Jingsheng did was a bit ridiculous.
If someone knew Duan Wenjun's true identity and found out that he was talking nonsense, that would probably not be good for him.
However, there is indeed a hint of wit in this absurdity.
If he hadn't taken this opportunity to build relationships with those powerful young men, he would have waited for the next opportunity, who knows how many years would have passed.
Some opportunities may even be impossible to encounter twice in a lifetime...
"Father, I think that since Jing Sheng wants to know the news about Duan Wenjun, we can pass it on to him on time." Lin Jingfeng frowned and spoke.
As Lin Zhengying's most relied-upon son, Lin Jingfeng not only had extremely high business talent, but was also extremely thoughtful and won Lin Zhengying's trust.
Hearing him speak at this moment, Lin Zhengying turned to look at him, "Jingfeng, tell me!"
Lin Jingfeng continued, "Father, I think there are three benefits to us providing information to Jing Sheng."
"First of all, the things mentioned in my uncle's letter are probably all fabricated by Jing Sheng in Shangliang. If it is known that they are all false, it will definitely be counterproductive and hinder Jing Sheng's future. So. , we must provide some real information to help Jing Sheng. In this way, what Jing Sheng said is true and false, false and true, so that others will not doubt the authenticity and achieve his goal of making friends with those people. .”
"We can tell Jing Sheng bit by bit about the romantic affair between Duan Wenjun and Jiang Shuying, the series of new things in the Duanjia Restaurant, and what my father saw and heard in Duanjiabao. Those young masters who are used to hearing stories about Kyoto may be interested in these, so that it will be easier for Jingsheng to achieve his goal of keeping Duan Wenjun popular through new things."
"Secondly, we are also making the Duan family famous, which is a way to ease the relationship with the Duan family. When Duan Daxiong comes back, the marriage between the Duan and Lin families will definitely go smoother. If Duan Wenjun is really famous, When Shu'er marries him, won't she also benefit from it? If the marriage is successful, helping the Duan family will also help our Lin family."
"Third, we can take the opportunity to write something about the Duan family's Shao Knife, let it become famous, and attract the attention of people in Shangliang. When Jingsheng has established a foothold in Shangliang, we will talk to the Duan family Let’s talk. Even if we can’t get their recipe, let them brew Shao Dao Zi and sell it to us in Shangliang. This will help the Duan family expand their business and will also increase our Lin family’s profits greatly.”
Lin Zhengying was overjoyed when he heard this and deeply believed it.
With the matter in his mind resolved, Lin Zhengying was in a happy mood. He poured a cup of tea for all three sons in person, then turned to look at Lin Jingyun and said, "Jingyun, Master Zhang really told you that his father is going to be promoted?" "
Lin Jingyun picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and nodded, "Yes, Wen Jian said it himself when Wen Jian and I went to Wangjiang Art Hall for a drink yesterday."
"Father, I have also heard about this." Lin Jingfeng also spoke up. "The reason why the imperial court is resolutely encircling Moon Island this time is because the magistrate Zhang used tricks to alienate the gangsters on the island. The fourth shopkeeper of Moon Island got After receiving special approval, he became the county government's number one arrester. In the past few days, he has followed the army to the front line to suppress bandits."
"Second brother is right." Lin Jingyun nodded. "Wen Jian said that his father was the first to suppress the bandits this time. It happened that Feihong, the guard of Lingxiao County, was about to retire and return to his hometown, so he asked his father to fill the vacancy. They are here My acquaintances in the official department have already sent the news, and I believe the imperial edict will arrive soon."
"In that case, we must prepare a generous gift before others do." Lin Zhengying nodded thoughtfully, "Jingyun, you can handle this matter yourself."
Lin Jingyun nodded, and Lin Zhengying stared at him again and said, "Also, Mr. Zhang, did you mention that after Mr. Zhang is promoted, who will be the new county magistrate?"
Lin Jingyun's face froze, and his tone became serious, "Dad, speaking of this person, you should also know him."
