At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"Butler Cai, you treat the sisters well, just like a father."

"If you don't mind, we would like to have you as our godfather!!!" Nong Mei suddenly knelt on the ground and begged.

When the other girls saw that Nong Mei had so quickly curryed favor with Cai Lun, they were unwilling to be left behind and all began to beg Cai Lun to become his adopted daughters.

"What are you doing? I may not be older than you. Even if I am older, I may not be much older than you. How can I be your godfather?"

"You are trying to embarrass me." Cai Lun hurriedly helped up Nong Mei, the leader. He knew clearly what these girls meant. They just wanted to find a relative so that they could have someone to rely on in the future.

Of course, it was impossible for him to be a godfather. After all, he was not much older than them, and was even younger than some of them.

But in order not to disappoint them, it is impossible for me to be their godfather, but I can still be their brother.

When Nongmei and the other girls heard that Cai Lun could be their elder brother, they immediately called him "big brother".

Cai Lun also nodded with a smile on his face, feeling happy in his heart.

The reason why he usually took good care of Nong Mei and these girls was because he had a younger sister who was captured and brought to the capital to be a maid.

Now he has become the steward of the Ren residence, but the whereabouts of his sister is unknown, and no one knows which official family in the capital she has been assigned to.

Although he also wanted to ask Ren Hao for help, he gave up the idea when he saw that Ren Hao was very busy every day.

Now he could only pray that his sister was safe in the capital, and hope that the official who took his sister in would be nicer to her.

"Sister, wait for me, I will find you."

Cai Lun sighed secretly, then sent Nongmei and the other girls away, letting them go about their own business.

Just when Cai Lun wanted to take a short rest, a waiter knocked on the door and said, "Butler Cai, there is a man named Lin Yi outside the building who wants to see you."

Linyi?

Cai Lun couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that this old guy was quite well-informed.

"Let him in." Cai Lun sat up and prepared a pot of Maozi.

Soon, an old man was brought in by the waiter.

This old man was Lin Yi, who came here smelling the scent of silver.

"Boss Lin, you are well-informed."

"It's not long since I sold this Hu chair and you came to my door."

Cai Lun invited Lin Yi to take a seat and poured him a glass of wine.

"I'm really sorry, Butler Cai. I have stayed in Beijing for too long. My wife has sent me several letters urging me to go back." Lin Yi laughed, and his intention to give the money and leave was almost written on his face.

Cai Lun nodded, took out a government note from his sleeve and said, "I was just about to look for you, but since you came to look for me, that's just right."

"What is this..." Lin Yi was stunned when he saw the note on the table with seven thousand taels of silver written on it.

"Boss Lin, this is what I mean. This note is called a Fupiao, and it was invented by my family. As long as you take this Fupiao, you can go directly to the mansion to exchange it for seven thousand taels of silver."

"After all, you also know that seven thousand taels is too much. We are currently short of manpower and cannot deliver it to where you live."

"Please forgive me." Cai Lun explained to Lin Yi.

"Oh, I see." Lin Yi nodded, put the money into his sleeve, and took out an emerald green jade pendant.

Cai Lun took the jade pendant and played with it for a while, then asked, "Boss Lin, do you want my master to sell this jade for you?"

"Butler Cai, this is a small gift from Lin. We have a long way to go in the future." Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Cai Lun could accept it.

"There is still a long way to go. This gift is really too expensive. You should take it back."

"I appreciate your kindness." Cai Lun returned the jade pendant. As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. He couldn't accept these things casually, lest it cause trouble for Ren Hao in the future.

"Butler Cai, this is just a courtesy between friends. You don't need to think too much about it."

"I don't have any other intention." Lin Yi pushed the jade pendant back.

After all, there is still a long time to go with Cai Lun in the future, so it is only right to give Cai Lun some gifts.

"If you don't have any other intentions, just take it back." Cai Lun insisted on not taking it and shook his head.

Seeing that Cai Lun was not really being polite and was truly upright and did not want to accept it, Lin Yi took the jade pendant back.

Afterwards, Lin Yi took his followers and bought a three-horse carriage to go to Ren Hao's house to get the silver.

After Ren Hao received the government note, he asked Li Jin and others to take out 7,000 taels of silver from the silver cellar.

"Boss Lin, please count it." Ren Hao pointed at the silver in the box.

"No need. I trust Boss Ren." Lin Yi waved his hand and asked his followers to start loading the truck.

"Boss Lin, it's a long journey, please take care of yourself along the way."

"Next time you come to Beijing to do business, if you can't sell your products, just go directly to my housekeeper." Ren Hao clasped his fists towards Lin Yi.

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded, got on the carriage with the help of his followers and left.

After seeing Lin Yi off, Ren Hao returned home to have a good rest.

After all, he had been running back and forth regarding the Anyang case and hadn't had a good rest.

Although he is now an official in the court, he is not in a hurry to enter the palace because he still lacks an assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

After the last assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue arrives, it won’t be too late to go to the Ministry of Revenue together.

The candidate for the last Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is Li Shiji, who has always wanted to be loyal to His Majesty but has never been able to do so.

Ren Hao wanted to recruit him to serve as an official in the court. Firstly, his status as a royal relative could help him. As the saying goes, even if the officials in the Ministry of Revenue did not obey him, they had to obey Li Shiji.

Secondly, Li Shiji shares the same ideals as me, so it will definitely be a lot easier to work with him.

Ren Hao has been resting at home these days. Not only has he not gone to the Ministry of Revenue to take up his post, he has not even attended the morning court.

Neither the prime minister faction headed by Zhao Ping'an nor the aristocratic faction formed by various tribes participated in the rebellion in front of the emperor.

They said he was so bold and presumptuous that he didn't even attend the morning court and didn't take the emperor seriously at all.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't know how many times they would have died, but since it was Ren Hao, Wen Yan had no choice but to protect him.

After all, she had finally persuaded Ren Hao to serve as an official in the court, so how could she easily dismiss Ren Hao from his post or even kill him just because of a few words from the ministers?

In order to shut up all the officials, Wen Yan directly told them to find another extraordinary person like Ren Hao to enter the palace.

If we can find him, let alone remove Ren Hao, we would even kill him directly.

But if you can't find it, just shut up and don't mention it anymore.

After hearing these words, all the ministers shut up and stopped participating in the memorial.
