"It's no use," Lin Qingyan gazed at the sunset and sighed, "We can only make a profit from this wave. While there is still an opportunity, we should try to make some gains."

  Lin Guan's family looked at her with some confusion.

  Lin Qingwan didn't explain, but instead waved her hand and asked: "Has there been any clansmen coming to borrow money recently?"

  "There are," said Lin Guan, "five families in total. All of them have temporarily put things off according to the young lady's instructions and also sent people back to their clans to investigate their character and family background."

  Lin Qing nodded, "Screen out the people as soon as possible, especially those who borrowed money to start a paper mill."

  "Granny, I don't understand. Our family has already set up a paper mill, why do we still need to support so many small workshops? Isn't that just competing with ourselves?"

  "The price of grass paper is low, and after removing the sales link, the improved formula averages around four cents per piece. We don't make much profit, and it doesn't mean that the customers who come to buy goods are willing to sell at a lower price." Lin Qingyan said softly: "Especially after transportation, the cost is even higher, so to reduce the selling price, the best way is to reduce the cost."

  "The world is so big, not all grass paper must come from Suzhou. Wherever there is straw, it can be produced. In that case, why not disperse the people and produce locally." Lin Qingyu saw that Lin Guan was still confused, and knew what he was thinking.

  It doesn't matter if the grass paper is more expensive; isn't it still Lin's family who makes the money?

  It's not just Lin who makes a lot of money quickly.

  Lin Qingwan said in a low voice: "The money is better earned by our own people than by others, and since the formula has not been made public yet, we can earn as much as we can."

  Lin Guan's face changed, "Miss has decided to make the formula public?"

  "No rush," Lin Qingyan withdrew her gaze from afar and smiled: "Let's talk when someone can't hold it in anymore."

  Grass paper was initially not taken seriously, because there was better quality bamboo paper in the way. If Lin Qingyan had priced it similarly to hemp paper on the market, that would have been fine, and she could have quietly made a fortune for herself.

  She set such a low price that the market was immediately disrupted and grass paper became the target of public criticism.

  She never thought of monopolizing the grass paper formula, and since she wanted to do things, she had to pay some price.

  Lin Qingwan returned to the study, picked up her pen and wrote a "Lin" character on the paper, saying: "This grass paper is called Lin Jun paper, I want everyone who uses grass paper to remember the Lin family."

  Lin Guan stepped forward with a sheet of paper in his hands and bowed: "I will pass on the message now."

  In less than two days, the paper sellers inside and outside Suzhou all changed their cries. The calls on the streets and alleys were: "Lin Jun's paper is here! Selling Lin Jun's paper! Lin's product, grass paper, cheap and good to use!"

  The paper sellers are all Lin's nephews and nieces. As soon as a message came from the other side of the Lin family compound, they changed their story.

  As a result, not only did the businessmen at Lin's Bookstore know that the grass paper was officially named "Lin Jun Paper", but also the common people on the streets and alleys and those who bought paper knew about it.

  Lin's family compound, Lin Qingyan saw Lin Yuhuan out the door early in the morning and reminded her: "Don't wander around Wenyuan and get lost on the way, be careful of the water."

  "I know," Lin Yuheng quickly climbed up the carriage, happily waving at Lin Qingyan, "Auntie can go back, I will take good care of the guest."

  This time she invited all her classmates from the girls' school, and in half an hour they should arrive, so she had to go prepare ahead of time.

  The people waiting in the garden were also ready, and the patrolling guards were all selected from the villagers, most of whom had some disability.

  But as for their precautions, they are no worse than those with four limbs intact. The little servants and maids serving inside were all selected from the families of farmers and tenants.

  Later, men's packages were served by small boys, while women were attended by maids.

  But in fact, Wen Yuan is particular about being self-sufficient, they only do fixed things and deal with some sudden events.

  No need for them to wait on you hand and foot.

  Lin Yuhong and the others came this time to find fault, trying to consider all aspects before officially starting business, so that customers can be comfortable and convenient while ensuring safety.

  The three sisters of the Shang family also came at the invitation, thinking that this time Lin Yuhong was hosting, so they should help out a bit, and set off early in the morning.

  When they arrived at Qingfeng Village, they happened to meet Lin Yubin getting off the bus. From a distance, Shang Danzhu directly lifted the curtain and waved at her, shouting "Lin sister, wait for us."

  Lin Yuhbin stopped in his tracks and turned around to see them smiling: "How did you guys get here so early?"

  As the horse carriage ran up front, Shang Danzhu was the first to jump down and said, "Let's take a look if there is anything we can help with."

  Shang Danlan also jumped down with her and turned back to help Shang Danju, looking around and asking, "Isn't Lin Aunt coming today?"

  "Auntie isn't coming, she said to let us have fun." Lin Yuhbin led the way inside, smiling: "You all must make an effort to have fun today, help me find any shortcomings, so we can improve."

  Shang Danzhu patted his chest and said: "Lin sister-in-law rest assured, I won't be polite."

  Shang Danju also smiled and said, "I won't be polite either."

  Lin Yuhu smiled and held their hands: "That's best, let's go in and prepare first, Lu Ling and the others will be here soon."

  Four girls walked hand in hand into the garden, and as soon as they entered, there was a peach tree with a full load of flower buds waiting to open.

  A gentle breeze blew from the garden, and all four of them smelled a faint fragrance. The four girls didn't move for a moment, and their maids naturally stopped in their tracks, looking up towards the front.

  Only a few small birds chirped and flew over from the air, jumping left and right on the branches, disappearing in front of their eyes in no time, but the pleasant bird calls still lingered in their ears.

  Shang Danju couldn't help but softly exclaim, "It's really beautiful, even more so than the last time we came."

  Shang Dan bamboo nodded and sighed: "What kind of charm is that when the peach blossoms are in full bloom?"

  Shang Danlan pulled Lin Yubin and said: "Lin sister, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, we will come again."

  "No problem," Lin Yuhong smiled: "Inside, there are many separate small courtyards, although they have not been built with walls, but all have fences, and when the time comes, we just need to play in one courtyard."

  "It's a pity if such a good place is only for appreciating flowers alone. Why don't we set up a poetry and literature gathering at that time?" Shang Danlan smiled, "At that time, let's invite Lu Mei and the others too."

  Lin Yuhong said: "I'm fine, I just worry that you won't be able to get out of the house."

  "Don't worry, now Grandma and my mother won't stop us from going out," Shang Danzhu whispered in her ear: "You don't know, now Grandma is also very open-minded, as long as we're not going out to cause trouble, she won't stop us."

  She said and rushed to Shang Danlan, Lin Yubin looked over, slightly stunned and smiled: "I know, grandma wants to find a good husband for Lan sister."

  Shang Danlan suddenly looked over and rolled up her sleeves, saying: "Alright, I was wondering what you were all whispering about together. So it turns out you were plotting against me."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab the two people. Shang Danzhu and Lin Yuhong shouted in surprise and turned around to run into the peach forest.

  Shang Dan Ju hastily stretched out her hand to pull them back, helping Shang Dan Lan block their way.

  "Fourth sister, dare you not help me?"

  "Hey, you two are bullying big sister, and I'm not allowed to uphold justice?"

  Yingyan saw the four misses tangled together, and was delighted to let them play on their own. She pulled Shang Danlan's personal maid and said: "Let them play with each other, come, we'll go have some fun too."

  "This won't do," Sheng Chun hesitated: "What if the young ladies call for us and we can't hear them?"

  Yingyan smiled and pulled them along, saying: "They want to call someone, the maids in the garden will come to inform us, let's go for a walk first. Before we came, Auntie said that whoever finds more would be rewarded."

  Ma Xia was half believing and half doubting, "What does this mean? We are guests here, where is it good to say that you are wrong?"

  "If you don't say anything, when the Wen Garden opens its doors to welcome guests and other guests find out, our Lin family will be in a difficult situation." Yingyan smiled: "It's precisely because we trust you that we invited you here."

  "Shouldn't it be 'we are invited', rather than 'our miss is invited'?"

  "It can't be helped, the young lady is invited by the young lady, and you are naturally invited by us. The old lady said that no matter whether you are the master or the servant, we Lin family must do our best to minimize dissatisfaction. Yingyan looked around and lowered her voice: "In the future, when the young ladies come here, there will be many opportunities, take this opportunity to raise your opinions, otherwise, if there is a loophole, it will still be us who suffer."

  Sheng Chun and the other two girls looked at each other, then widened their eyes to look around. Ying Yan burst out laughing and pushed them, saying: "How can we find it like this? Let's play first, if you're not comfortable or convenient anywhere, tell me and I'll remember."

  Shengchun and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing, playfully pushing each other. Before long, the four of them were giggling and ran off to find the young ladies, and the garden was filled with the sound of laughter.

  While Suzhou officials were rushing to the two fast horses outside, they did not go to the city gate, but when they saw the Qingfeng Teahouse set up by the Lin family at the crossroads, they slowed down and asked Yu Zhu, who was brewing tea inside, "Is your lady in another yard?"

  Yu Zhu saw their dusty and disheveled appearance, glanced at the hooves of their horses again, guessed they were from the capital, and evaded the question: "Which family are you honorable guests from, and what business do you have with our young mistress?"

  The two people on the horse slightly furrowed their brows and said, "Our family's master is an old friend of the Lin family. He has urgent business to discuss with Miss Lin. If she isn't in another courtyard, then she must be at the Lin Manor in the city."

  Yu Zhu thought for a moment and then smiled: "The lady is in another courtyard, you can see her if you go to find Lin Guan Jia."

  After the two men rode away on horseback, Yu Zhu stretched out his hand and pulled a rope beside him. The flag standing on the watchtower turned over, with the side printed "Qingfeng Teahouse" facing towards Lin's villa.

  This means there is an unfamiliar guest arriving.
