Chapter 418 The uncle comes to discuss the marriage

The ministers in the court were all speculating on what method Zhu Qiyu used to make the princes willing to hand over their land. Moreover, they heard that there were no conditions attached. Moreover, they also heard that Zhu Qiyu not only reduced his title The hierarchy and salary have been halved, and none of the vassal kings have any objections!

Anyway, now in the capital, I haven’t heard that the vassal king has any objections!

However, those county kings had some opinions and clamored to see His Majesty, but they were quickly taken away by the royal guards. Then an imperial edict came down to remove the princes from the county, demote them to common people, and expel them from the family tree!

This method scared the princes, so now in the capital, there is almost no voice of opposition.

In a flash, it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Lin Cunde got up early in the morning and headed to the caravan to wait for his uncle, grandfather, and eldest brother. This time, the three of them came to the capital to discuss with Wang Ying the relationship between Lin Cunde and Wang Ying. Wang Meichun’s marriage!

Lin Cunde's parents are gone, so naturally it is his grandfather, uncle and brother who make the decision, and this time the three of them came together, which also represents the sincerity of the Lin family!

Of course, in this first month, I don’t know how many people wanted to see Lin Cunde, but Lin Cunde was nowhere to be seen!

Some ministers wanted to ask for mercy, some ministers wanted to inquire about information, some ministers wanted to build a good relationship, and some ministers just wanted to visit, but Lin Cunde was not there!

Lin Cunde now subconsciously does not get too close to the civil servants. Your Majesty is becoming more and more mature. When doing things by yourself, you must know how to advance and retreat. Therefore, Lin Cunde is now very cautious. Even Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunde, there is no need to be like this, but Lin Cunde is still more cautious. Be more careful!

Early in the morning, Lin Cunde, Lin Cunyi, Lin Cunli, Lin Cunzhen, and Lin Cunzhi were at the Chamber of Commerce together. All the big bosses of the Jiangyou Gang's Chamber of Commerce were also here, and they had just paid tribute to Lin Cunde!

In fact, Lin Cunde helped the Jiangyou Gang, and the Jiangyou Gang got a lot of soap and soap. In addition, Lin Cunde handed over a lot of business in Luanzhou to the Jiangyou Gang. Of course, there were also other places. Chamber of Commerce! Moreover, Lin Cunde never wanted the benefits of the Jiangyou Gang. These businessmen loved Lin Cunde very much!

However, the status difference between them and Lin Cunde is too big. Even though they may be richer than Lin Cunde, they are really not enough in front of Lin Cunde!

Lin Cunde's words can determine their life or death!

"It's coming, it's coming!" Lin Cunyi shouted immediately when he saw the convoy coming from a distance!

Lin Cunde also nodded and looked at the convoy approaching from a distance. There were five or six hundred vehicles in the convoy, most of which were carriages pulling goods. There were also people from all over the country who followed the Jiangyou Gang's caravan to the capital. Traveling together, after all, the caravan has bodyguards. They follow the caravan and have an extra guarantee!

After a while, the convoy came over!

"Xiaowu, Xiaowu, this way!" Lin Cunren and the others saw Lin Cunde first and shouted immediately!

Lin Cunde heard the sound and hurried over. After a while, he received Grandpa and the others!

Lin Cunde and the others paid tribute to them.

"How can you catch a cold so easily? Come on, grandpa, uncle, eldest brother, get in the carriage. Let's go home. Breakfast is ready at home. After dinner, you should also take a rest!" Lin Cunde smiled and supported his grandfather with one hand. Support the uncle with one hand!

"Well, go back!" Grandpa was also very happy!

Nowadays, grandpa is very dignified wherever he goes, especially in Ji'an Prefecture. Whenever he goes out, whether he is an official, a government servant, or a famous local person, he will always call him "grandpa" as "old man". !

However, Lin Cunde's grandfather was a very low-key man. In fact, Lin Cunde's family was all low-key. This was also due to Lin Cunde's father, Lin Xiangfeng. Lin Xiangfeng had been writing letters back to them, asking them to be low-key and humble!

Therefore, even though Lin Cunde is now a marquis and has great power, in his hometown, the Lin family is very low-key and kind to others!

Moreover, Lin Cunren donated 30,000 taels of silver last year to repair the embankment of the local Enjiang River and build more than a dozen small bridges!

When the carriage arrived at the Luling Marquis's residence, Lin Cunyi's wife Ye, Lin Cunli's wife Zeng, Wang Chenghai and his wife, and Grandpa Yang all came to pay their respects!

Grandpa took Grandpa Yang’s hand and walked inside!

"Why did you come out to pick him up? What should you do if you catch a cold? It's not like we didn't know how to come!" Lin Xianglong said reproachfully to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde and the others went directly to the dining room. Grandpa took Grandpa Yang to sit down and ate together. Grandpa Yang said that he had eaten, so he let Grandpa Yang go!

After finishing their meal, Lin Cunde led them to his study!

"Xiaowu, let's come over this time to discuss how to pay for this gift bill. You can explain it to us in advance so that we can talk to the in-laws!" The uncle sat down and said to Lin Cunde.

"Haha, I have no idea. There are more than 800,000 taels of silver in the house. You can just talk with these 800,000 taels. You can talk about the other gifts. Shibo will not make things difficult for us!" Lin Cunde He smiled and said to the great uncle Lin Xianglong. "Ah!" Lin Xianglong, Lin Cunren and grandpa looked at Lin Cunde in shock!

On the other hand, Lin Cunyi and the others were not surprised. With so much money coming into the mansion every month, how could they not know how much money there was in the mansion?

"It's okay. By the way, Shibo said that he will invite you to his home for dinner at noon tomorrow. It is for dinner and not to discuss marriage. He said that this time we are just talking about the wedding date. It doesn't matter whether we talk about other things or not. Shibo also Don’t expect the money from me, he also has a lot of money in his own house!" Lin Cunde said to them with a smile.

"That's not okay. We still have to talk about it. People are very generous. We can't pretend not to know anything. This will make people say that our family has no etiquette. This is not okay! You will also need to tell your in-laws when the time comes. If you need to point out more, just If you pay more, you can also give face to your in-laws, right? Moreover, it can also give you face, but you can't say that you didn't spend a penny to marry a daughter-in-law, that's outrageous!" Lin Xianglong said reproachfully to Lin Cunde.

"It would be nice if there were etiquette lists for the married women in other marquises' houses, so that we would have a reference. But now, without the etiquette list, we don't know the situation in the capital, and there is also the situation of the married women of noble families!" Lin Cunren He said with a frown.

"Yes, yes, I'll go get it. I've got it a long time ago!" Lin Cunyi stood up and went out to get it immediately. Lin Cunyi had already thought of such a thing. '

"This kid is of some use in the capital!" Lin Xianglong said with a smile!

"Very useful, but not very useful. His Majesty originally planned to let him go to the Ministry of Industry as an official, but the second brother refused! I also persuaded the second brother, but the second brother said he wouldn't go!" Lin Cunde also told them about this matter. Come!

"What is he doing as an official? He is an official. Who can take care of you? I don't have time. There are so many things at home. This is his responsibility!" Lin Cunren spoke before Lin Xianglong and the others could speak!

Grandpa and uncle also nodded and asked Lin Cunyi to come over just to take care of Lin Cuunde, not to serve as officials!

As long as you take care of Lin Cunde, you still worry that none of your descendants will become officials. Now Lin Cunzhen and Lin Cunzhi are both officials!

They practice martial arts with the salary from the court, and they get a few hundred taels of silver every year. Moreover, this time the third uncle and the fourth uncle also arranged a marriage for them in their hometown. They are both women from official families!

After all, they are already officials, so it is normal to marry the daughter of an official!

Besides, now the eighth and ninth brothers are coming to inquire and want to get married!

Even someone from Lin Jiadong came to inquire, but Lin Cunren didn't agree. He knew that many of Lin Jiadong's matters were beyond his control, and he would have to listen to Lin Cunde's wishes when the time came!

Lin Jiadong is still young now. In a few years, Lin Cunde will definitely come to the capital and train him personally!

Of course, those who came to get married also thought of this. Among the children of the Lin family, except for Lin Cunde, Lin Jiadong was the most important. Even Lin Cunli was not as important as Lin Jiadong!

This is the eldest son of their next generation, the eldest grandson, the eldest great-grandson, and the first person in the next generation. The Lin family will definitely train him well!

Soon, Lin Cunyi came over with the information he had found out, which was all gift voucher information!

"Look, this is the list of gifts for married women in the Marquis's Mansion in recent years. I looked at it and found that most of them were around ten thousand taels. I thought, we probably have no problem paying for one hundred thousand taels. Also I also asked someone to get some of these things. In addition to the ones from the warehouse in the mansion, there is probably no problem!" Lin Cunyi pointed at the gift list and said.

The uncle took the gift list and read it. After reading it, Lin Xianglong nodded and said: "This way I can count, let alone one hundred thousand taels, it is two hundred thousand taels, three hundred thousand taels, we have to pay it too, Xiaowu In the capital, it is possible to develop like this because of the help of relatives. After the second brother left, people did not look down on Xiao Wu. That is kindness, and people should not be ungrateful!

In addition, there is no shortage of money in Xiaowu's house, so even if you give more, it is appropriate!

Xiaowu, is it your uncle who has the final say on this matter? "

Lin Cunde immediately stood up and solemnly raised his hands to Lin Xianglong and said: "Uncle, this matter depends entirely on the uncle. The uncle can make full decisions. The materials in the warehouse of the mansion can be mobilized by the uncle at will!"

"Okay, we can't let the in-laws lose face. Let's talk about this and try to get married as soon as possible. I think February is the best. If it doesn't work, just February! Of course, this still needs to be discussed with the in-laws! "Uncle Lin Xianglong said to Lin Cunde.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde looked at his uncle in surprise and asked, "So fast? Nothing is ready at home!"

"There are still more than half a month, that's enough! I heard from the second brother that you are very busy now and have to go to Luanzhou. If it takes too long, it will not be appropriate for you to run back and forth. Of course, everything We have to listen to the wishes of the in-laws, and we will respect them when they say a good time. If we propose to get married in February and they think it is okay, then February is feasible?" The uncle looked at Lin Cunde and asked! "

"Okay!" Lin Cunde smiled and nodded. He would write letters to Wang Meichun every ten days. In fact, he also wanted to get married!
