January 30: To get promoted and make money, you need a ladder.

January 3o: Promotion and wealth require a ladder.

In the previous chapter, the Classic of Documents said that Jia Yucun, who had been stripped of his post and removed from office, was exactly looking for the chance to make a comeback from Eastern Mountain, while he was worried and troubled, in a bar-restaurant he coincidentally met his colleague from the same case, Zhang Rugui.

Zhang Rugui told Yucun, by pulling strings, the relevant superiors have already cleared his case and are preparing to re-employ him.

Yucun heard it; this is certainly a great piece of news that fell from the sky.

But Yucun turned his joy into worry: where can he find connections to pull strings for his promotion and wealth?

Child Prosperity, who was observing in stillness and coldly from the side, advised Yucun: "How can you be wise all your life but foolish for a moment? You teach that student Daiyu's father Lin Ruhai; his connections can reach heaven—why don't you ask him for help?"

Child Prosperity's suggestion, Yucun deeply understood his meaning, suddenly became enlightened: "Right, why don't I go ask Lin Ruhai for help?"

What kind of person is Lin Ruhai? When Child Prosperity mentioned him, Yucun became so excited?

Originally, Lin Ruhai was a salt merchant, the big boss selling salt, holding a lucrative exclusive position. His family wealth was vast, and his official and private connections were open. Yucun then got hired by his family to be the private tutor of his daughter Daiyu.

"Yes, go find him; this will surely succeed!" Yucun thought happily.

Yucun hastily said goodbye to Child Prosperity and Zhang Rugui. Returning to Lin Ruhai's home, he explained his job-seeking situation to Lin Ruhai in detail, pleading for Lord Lin's help, promising to repay the favor in the future.

Lin Ruhai heard Yucun's plea and laughed, saying, "This is truly a fortuitous coincidence; I was just about to ask you for help."

Yucun heard Lord Lin's words, felt doubtful, thinking that Lin Ruhai was mocking him.

Lin Ruhai saw Yucun's thoughts and lack of understanding, and laughed, saying, "Lately I've been unwell, feeling uncomfortable. Moreover, I've been busy with business affairs, neglecting my daughter Daiyu's care, fearing it would delay her studies. I was planning to entrust her to her grandmother's care, with her maternal uncles overseeing her reading and writing. For this, I have pondered for a long time but still haven't found a suitable candidate. Now the candidate has been found—it's you."

"Me?" Yucun exclaimed in surprise and delight.

"Exactly, you're the most reliable choice."

Yucun asked Lin Ruhai, "What kind of person is Daiyu's maternal uncle? What is his surname and given name? What does he do now?"

Lin Ruhai told Yucun, "Speaking of which, Daiyu's maternal uncle is actually from your own clan."

"My own clan?" Yucun exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Ruhai said: "In this world, everything is connected by countless threads. You aren't Jia, are you? Daiyu's maternal uncle also bears the surname Jia. How could that stroke produce two Jia characters?"

Yucun heard and said happily, "Could what you've been saying all along refer to the Jia Family holding office in Jinling?"

"Exactly, Daiyu's maternal uncle is precisely the Jia Family holding office in Jinling. If you connect with them, your promotion and wealth will have a backing."

Then Yucun thought happily, "Exactly, if I can connect with the Jia Family holding high office in Jinling, then my promotion and wealth will have a ladder."
