at the same time.
Lin Mansion.
There is only one mansion in the city of God that dares to be called "Lin Mansion", and that is the mansion of the Lin family, a powerful family.
Su Xian's friend and classmate Lin Chuan is a member of the Lin family.
Today, a letter from Yingzhou was delivered to the Lin Mansion. This letter was written by Lin Chuan's father, and the content was to report to the family about his cooperation with Su Xian in beet sugar production.
Lin's father is very good at business, which is the basis for him to have a certain say in the family as a common branch.
He originally wanted to monopolize all the profits from his cooperation with Su Xian... But later, when collecting the main raw materials, namely the flame cabbage, Father Lin discovered that he still needed to rely on the strength of his family.
Hence this letter.
The person who received and read the letter was a young descendant of the Lin family. After reading the first half of the letter, he was immediately overjoyed. He ignored the second half and rushed straight to the main courtyard of the mansion.
He wanted to tell the head of the family and all the clan elders the good news.
But he was told that the family head and clan elders were discussing matters in the meeting hall.
The person who brought the message didn't think much about it. Regardless of the obstruction, he ran towards the meeting hall, waving the letter and shouting: "Master of the family, happy event, Master of the family, happy event..."
"..."
"Who is yelling here?"
"It is a serious crime to break into the meeting hall without permission!"
"Get out!"
Amidst the scoldings of the clan elders, several strong servants stepped forward and dragged the messenger out.
The person who brought the letter was naturally unwilling to accept it, waving the letter and shouting:
"Head of the family, dear clan elders, this letter is worth tens of thousands..."
"..."
The four words "worth a huge amount of money" caused the expressions of everyone in the conference hall to change slightly.
"Let him in!" The head of the Lin family gave the final order.
"..."
The person who brought the letter rushed into the meeting hall. Under the scrutinizing eyes of the family head and clan elders, he roughly repeated the first half of the letter.
Including cooperating with Su Xian to open a sugar workshop, as well as the approximate income, etc.
After everyone listened, some of the clan elders looked at each other secretly, with greed flashing in their eyes. A young clan elder with a big belly stood up and said:
"If it is as stated in the letter, the stone honey called 'white sugar' will bring unimaginable benefits to our Lin family. It is no exaggeration to say that it is worth tens of thousands."
"Not bad." Everyone nodded.
The young clan elder with a big belly said again:
"But... who is Su Xian? He only came up with a secret recipe and got 50% of the net profit? The owner of the family and everyone else, that's just money in vain!"
"..."
After hearing this, everyone in the meeting hall understood what he meant.
The head of the Lin family looked solemn, while the other elders had different expressions.
At this time, the messenger explained:
"Elder of the clan, Su Xian is an abandoned son of the Su family. He has not had any contact with the Su family for more than ten years. He is just a poor county student."
After finishing speaking, the messenger picked up the letter and continued to read it. He had not finished reading it just now.
However, what he said made the young and pot-bellied clan elder excited, and he said loudly:
"Hmph! Even if Su Xian is a child of the Su family, but he is an abandoned son, he is no different from ordinary people... He monopolizes 50% of the net profit with only one secret recipe. This is unfair and unreasonable!"
"What should we do?" Someone sang a double act.
"What should we do? Haha... Anyway, we have the secret recipe. Just kick Su Xian out of the game. What can he, a poor scholar with no power, do to my Lin family?"
"This... I'm afraid it's not good, right?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. I'm also thinking about the interests of the Lin family."
"Master, what do you think?"
"..."
The head of the Lin family is an old man who is getting older. He has a thin face, white beard and hair, and a pair of very clear eyes, giving people a sense of wisdom and kindness.
The head of the family pondered for a while and was about to speak when the messenger on the side suddenly held the letter and shouted loudly:
"No, no, absolutely no!"
"What's wrong?"
When everyone looked at him, they saw that his face was frightened, and his hands holding the letter were shaking, showing that he was frightened.
Facing the questioning looks of everyone, especially the head of the family, he immediately reported:
"Head of the family and other clan elders, Su Xian's identity is not simple. You must not offend this person!"
"What did you say? Isn't Su Xian just an abandoned son of the Su family?" The young and pot-bellied elder frowned.
"Please tell me carefully and clearly, what about Su Xian?" The head of the family spoke, his voice was old and majestic, making people subconsciously obey.
"Let me report to the head of the family, that Su Xian... is actually the literary officer in Princess Lanling's mansion!"
"Princess Lanling's Mansion..."
"Literary officer..."
"..."
There was a sudden silence in the meeting hall.
The clan elders looked at each other.
The head of the Lin family glanced coldly at the young and pot-bellied elder, then changed his instructions and said, "Let's discuss how to purchase more flame cabbage heads, and then send them to Yingzhou."
"yes!"
"..."
Just after the matter was discussed, a servant reported outside the meeting hall:
"Reporting to the head of the family, Dalang has returned home!"
Dalang is the eldest son of the head of the Lin family.
He is also the future heir to the family head.
The Dalang of the Lin family was invited to a certain prince's house the day before yesterday, and he will return today.
"He's back just in time. Please invite him here quickly."
The head of the family ordered.
Soon, Dalang of the Lin family strode to the meeting hall. Everyone greeted him, and then the head of the family personally told about the cooperation with Su Xian in opening a sugar workshop.
Lin family Dalang's expression changed slightly when he heard this, especially after hearing the word "Su Xian".
Later, when he heard that someone in the clan was trying to steal Su Xian's secret recipe, Dalang of the Lin family raised his eyebrows fiercely and looked sideways at the young and pot-bellied elder.
"Da Lang, what are you doing?" The head of the family noticed his strange behavior.
"What my father and uncles don't know is that they are visiting the palace as guests. Su Xian's name is really loud and clear!" The Lin family sighed loudly.
"Like thunder?"
"Although Su Xian is an official in Princess Lanling's house, but... he can't reach the level of thunder, right? Dal Lang, you are serious!"
"..."
Dalang of the Lin family smiled slightly and said calmly:
"It is true that Su Xian is an official in Princess Lanling's house. But my father and uncles may not know about it. In this city of the gods, some people are trying their best to transfer Su Xian You can’t come to your own side.”
Come and try it quickly. 】
"Why is this?" The clan elders were confused and looked confused.
"Dalang, who wants to steal people from Princess Lanling's mansion?" asked the head of the family.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Young Sikou of the Prison Department!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty the Crown Prince?!"
"Prison and Prison Department...Young Sikou?!"
"..."
The head of the Lin family and everyone present were stunned.
It was those two people who wanted to snatch Su Xian away from Princess Lanling's house. This matter was beyond their imagination.
That is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
That's the young Sikou from the Prison Department!
