Chapter 138 It’s just a matter of agreeing or not agreeing!

"Sister Ping'er, please wait a moment."

When Lin Daiyu learned that Ping'er was here to stay overnight, she suddenly realized that theoretically this government office now belonged to Chen Ran.

Out of respect, we didn't force the Lin family to move out, but we couldn't let Lord Chen be without a place to live.

"There are still a few rooms in the other courtyard." Lin Daiyu instructed Zijuan, "Go find the people from Suzhou and ask them to allocate two courtyards. It's too much for each of them to live in one courtyard."

Zijuan left as requested, but soon came back wiping her tears.

Lin Daiyu and Ping'er hurriedly came forward and asked, "What's going on?"

"Several relatives said that the young lady was meddling in other people's business."

He also said some more unpleasant words, such as "Girls should just wait to get married, and you have no right to interfere in other people's affairs!"

Zijuan is very thoughtful and doesn't want to make Lin Daiyu even more sad.

How could Lin Daiyu not know this? She stamped her feet in anger and was about to go and tell her relatives.

But he was stopped by Ping'er.

"Miss Lin, it's not appropriate for us women to talk about these things. Why don't you tell us how Lord Lin and my master are doing?"

Indeed, it is not easy for them to come forward due to their identities, so men have to step forward to solve the problem.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Ran followed Ping'er to Lin Ruhai's room again.

"I'm sorry to have made Zihou laugh."

Lin Ruhai, leaning on the couch, forced a smile towards Chen Ran with difficulty.

"It's okay." Chen Ran waved his hand and responded, "Every family has its own problems. Lord Hai, don't worry about it."

Lin Daiyu, who was standing aside, was still wiping her tears, her little face full of grievance.

Chen Ran's expression remained unchanged, but he was already angry.

He simply took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Some time ago, I was invited by Lord Zheng to a banquet at Rongguo Mansion. During the banquet, I heard that Miss Lin seemed to have been wronged in Rongguo Mansion. She lost her appetite and cried until dawn."

Lin Ruhai's haggard expression suddenly darkened.

Lin Daiyu, who was standing by, stopped crying and looked at Chen Ran in confusion, "How did he know? Why did he tell my father this?"

She is naturally smart, but she doesn't know much about the art of speaking.

Some topics are difficult to talk about directly, so they need to be discussed in a roundabout way.

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Daiyu and asked, "Is this true?"

Sister Lin opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say.

Of course there are some who have left their families at a very young age and lived in the shelter of others thousands of miles away.

In addition, Mrs. Wang, who had a grudge against Jia Min, kept trying to trip her up in secret, so it was common for her to cry until dawn.

But because he was worried that his father would get angry and his condition would worsen, he did not dare to tell him the truth about his grievances and seek his father's love and care.

I was so confused that I didn’t know what to say.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ruhai already knew what was going on.

He nodded to Chen Ran to express his gratitude for the advice, and then asked, "I wonder if there are any talented people in the Jia family? I heard that Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth?"

What this means is to find a way out for Lin Daiyu and find a husband who can protect her for the rest of her life.

Chen Ran understood immediately. When he heard Lin Ruhai mention Jia Baoyu, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lin Ruhai was puzzled, but Chen Ran indicated to Zijuan, "Baoyu is my student, so it's not easy for me to comment on him. Just tell Mr. Hai directly."

Zijuan groaned in her heart, how could I be asked to do such an offending thing?

But everyone was looking at her, and she was not qualified to refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "Master Bao, he's injured."

Lin Ruhai did not urge him, nor did he impatiently shout "Speak clearly!"

He just lay on the couch, staring at her silently.

How could Zijuan stand this? Under the pressure of the aura, she couldn't help but tell the whole story.

When Lin Ruhai learned that Jia Baoyu was disfigured, he merely frowned.

But we learned that he was caught and beaten on the spot because he had done something with the actors and actresses from Prince Zhongshun's palace. The contempt on his face was clearly visible.

After Zijuan finished her stammering words, Chen Ran slowly added a sentence.

"It is said in the Records of the Grand Historian that jade is a national treasure. As the saying goes, gold is precious and jade is respected. He was born with a jade in his mouth. I thought he was a prince of the royal family who was stranded outside."

Lin Daiyu looked at Chen Ran in confusion. She didn't understand why Chen Ran said this.

But Lin Ruhai understood, his expression changed drastically, and even beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

How stupid! If he really lets Lin Daiyu marry into the Jia family, wouldn't that be harming his only flesh and blood?

I thought I would be taken care of at my grandmother's house, but I never expected that...
The topic has already been opened, and Chen Ran is not pretentious. "Mr. Hai still has blood alive, why does he need a distant relative to inherit the family business?"

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly. After he died in some time, someone would have to come and beat the banners and smash the pots.

"Yu'er..." Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Daiyu lovingly and sighed, "After all, she is a girl."

As Lin Daiyu was wiping away her tears, Chen Ran said with a smile, "Then find a husband for her, and if she has a son in the future, adopt him into the Lin family."

After going around in circles like this, this is what I really want to say.

Lin Ruhai's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had always thought that entrusting Lin Daiyu to the Jia family was the best choice, after all, it was her grandmother's family.

But after hearing about Jia Baoyu, I was shocked to find that it was a hell of a pit.

Just when he was worrying about how to arrange a way out for Lin Daiyu, Chen Ran pointed out a clear way for him.

"If it really doesn't work, then find a son-in-law." Seeing that Lin Ruhai was seriously considering the matter, Chen Ran smiled and said goodbye.

Looking at his departing figure, Lin Ruhai felt sad.

"If we talk about choosing a son-in-law, this guy is the best choice."

This is not because Chen Ran is the top scholar and has great literary talent.

But I know that this person is well versed in the ways of the world and has outstanding vision.

In this turbid world, only people like this can truly thrive.

"What a pity~~~"

Unfortunately, this man has already married, and Yu'er said she couldn't be his concubine.
When we arrived at the yard, we saw the distant relatives of the Lin family who had come from their hometown in Suzhou, packing their luggage and moving out.

Looking at Chen Ran, they all showed hatred in their eyes, but no one dared to say too much.

They dared to laugh at Lin Daiyu, but did not dare to show their teeth to Chen Ran.

Because this person is the most influential person in their Lin family, someone of the same level, a high-ranking official they can only look up to.

"master."

When she came to the room, Ping'er couldn't help asking the question in her heart, "Why did you persuade Lord Lin to take in a son-in-law?"

"Why can't we persuade him to take in a son-in-law?"

Ping'er was also at a loss for words. "Master, do you really think that others don't know how you feel about Miss Lin? But you won't become a son-in-law."

"Some things are not easy to do directly." Chen Ran held her and explained with a smile, "You have to take a roundabout way and try another way. I can't be a son-in-law, but Lord Hai is seriously ill and there is no one he can trust around him. When the time comes, he will definitely entrust this matter to me."

Resisting the feeling coming from behind, Ping Er frowned and asked, "What's the use of this?"

"Usefulness is crucial." Chen Ran continued to explain, "I guess he will eventually entrust Lin Daiyu to me to take care of her. As long as she enters my house, I won't look for a husband for her in the future. Then, it's not good for Lin Daiyu to take the initiative to ask to get married, right?"

This era emphasizes parents' orders and matchmaker's words.

Without these, it's just X-Benz.

For a lady like Lin Daiyu, it is absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing as running away.

Lin Ruhai's entrustment played a crucial role, which was to allow Chen Ran to gain the power to obey his parents' orders.

If he doesn't nod, Lin Daiyu will never be able to marry. She can only live with him and be taken care of by him.
"Then will the master have the heart to let Miss Lin follow you in such an unclear way in the future?"

"It's better than her getting married."

If you really get married, it will be much more difficult to pursue someone again.

Lin Daiyu is not Wang Xifeng. With her family education and cultivation, it is impossible for her to do something unfaithful.

If she got married, it would basically mean that Chen Ran's strategy had failed.

"As for the future." Chen Ran put Ping'er in a good position and said, "We'll talk about it later!"

Yangzhou, Jiang family.

Jiang Yulang brought back Chen Ran's notice, which caused an uproar in the Jiang family.

Everyone kept shouting and cursing, saying that this person was too arrogant to even dare to look down on the Jiang family. They all asked the head of the family, Jiang Chun, to step in and severely punish this person.

After a long silence, Jiang Chun looked at Jiang Yulang and asked, "What do you think?"

Ignoring the envious and jealous looks from everyone at home, Jiang Yulang saluted and responded, "Chen Ran came with his troops and the king's banner."

Bringing troops with you means having the ability to use swords.

The king's flag means the righteousness of taking action!

If you come to the office alone, no one will care.

Because the salt officials of the Salt Administration Office had long been well fed by the major salt merchants and salt smugglers.

No matter how loudly the Salt Inspector shouted, he could do nothing without the help of others.

If there is no royal flag, the Jiang family will have many options.

The most important thing is to mobilize the power in the government to launch an impeachment attack against Chen Ran.

But he has soldiers and a reputation for justice, and he is also a notoriously ruthless person.

If you can say it, you can definitely do it.

Unless the emperor comes forward to protect it,
Jiang Chun smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed.

The Jiang family has owed millions of taels of silver over the years, and the emperor's surname is not Jiang. How could he possibly go against the emperor's wishes in order to protect the Jiang family?
He made up his mind and immediately said, "Tomorrow, I will go to visit Censor Chen in person."

Early the next morning, Jiang Chun, who had not moved for a long time, actually came to the Salt Administration Office in person. This shocked the many salt merchants in Yangzhou City who were always paying attention to this place.

It's definitely going to be something big!

"I've made it very clear." Facing the leader of the salt industry in Jiangnan, Chen Ran said calmly, "It's just a matter of agreeing or not agreeing."

"The salt industry is the foundation of the Jiang family. If you order the Jiang family to hand over the salt industry, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Jiang family."

"Don't be so polite, just say it's private salt." Chen Ran simply waved his hand and said, "If you pay the private salt, you can continue to make official salt in the future. If you don't pay, you won't be able to make official salt in the future."

Jiang Chun lowered his head, suppressing his anger. "The Jiang family can't afford so much money to make up for the deficit. Please reduce it a little bit."

Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "No more reduction."

Jiang Chun bowed again and said, "Please reduce the price a little more. We cannot do private salt business."

Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "In that case, then let's go to war."

He simply stood up and said, "It's the same old saying. It's just a matter of saying yes or no!"
