Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

"Does a wedding have to be a big banquet?" Lin Shaowen asked curiously.

"That's for sure." Jia Zhang said as a matter of course.

"So your Jia Dongxu married Qin Peiru and lived in such a confused state?" Lin Shaowen asked back.

Qin Peiru, who was watching the fun, suddenly turned pale.

She had never thought about having a wedding, and she even asked for only twenty yuan for the bride price.

"Yes, Jia Zhang, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." A lady stood up and said, "Your Jia Dongxu got married, but I didn't see you inviting everyone to the wedding wine."

"Although your Jia Dongxu is getting married for the second time, Qin Peiru is getting married for the first time." The second aunt also echoed.

"Go away, go away. What are the conditions of our family and that little beast's family? How can we compare?" Jia Zhang rolled her eyes.

"Did our family's money come from the wind?" Lou Xiao'e also rolled her eyes.

"You little whore, do you have the right to speak here?" Jia Zhang sneered, "You are such a shameless person, asking a man in public when he will marry her. You are such a money-loser."

"you……"

Although Lou Xiao'e is aggressive, she is no match for Jia Zhang.

I was so angry that I was shaking all over.

"I'm sorry, Lou Xiao'e has three big houses in this yard." Lin Shaowen held Lou Xiao'e's hand and said with a smile, "Jia Zhang, you said your family only has one room, and Jia Dongxu is laying eggs one after another. When he was making trouble at night, you must have eavesdropped a lot, right?"

"You little beast, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is eavesdropping?" Jia Zhang's face changed drastically.

"After all, Jia Dongxu has a strong psychological quality. If he were in the same room with my mother, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it." Lin Shaowen shook his head in admiration.

"Little beast, I'll tear you apart..."

Jia Zhang's defense was broken instantly, and she came over with her fangs bared to grab Lin Shaowen.

But her legs haven't fully recovered yet, and she can only walk with a limp, let alone run.

Lin Shaowen pushed Lou Xiao'e away and waved to Jia Zhangshi as if he was teasing a dog, "Jia Zhangshi, come, come, come..."

Jia Zhang was limping and was being carried around the yard by Lin Shaowen.

After a while, he sat on the ground panting, slapping his thigh and shouting, "Jia Dongxu, Qin Peiru, are you dead? Your mother is almost bullied to death by the little beast..."

In fact, Jia Dongxu had known for a long time that Lin Shaowen was teasing his mother, but he couldn't beat Lin Shaowen and could only hide in the house.

But after Jia Zhangshi shouted this, he had no choice but to come out.

"Lin Shaowen, why do you always bully my mother?"

"I don't deserve to be bullied."

Lin Shaowen hastily denied it, "She is of a different generation from me. If you say that an old man is bullying Jia Zhang, that's more like it."

Pfft!

The second aunt couldn't help laughing.

The word "bully" seems to really have that meaning.

"Lin Shaowen, you are spewing shit again."

Yi Zhonghai ran out of the house with a grim face.

"Uncle, aren't you here to teach Jia Dongxu some standard terms?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile on his face.

"Go back and eat your meal instead of making trouble in the yard every day."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands impatiently.

"Got it."

Lin Shaowen agreed, but just as he was about to enter the backyard, he retracted his head and said, "Jia Zhang, the posture is ready. It would be a pity if you don't use a move from Old Jia."

"You little beast, you will not die a good death." Jia Zhang cried out, "Old Jia, please come up and take the little beast away. If you continue like this, I will come down to accompany you..."

"Lin Shaowen, I'm going to kill you."

Jia Dongxu pretended to go back to get the knife, but Lin Shaowen pulled Lou Xiaoe and ran away quickly.

West wing courtyard.

Lou Xiao'e and Lin Shaowen lay under the arbour, each in a recliner with a small coffee table in the middle, on which were fruits and beer.

"Shao Wen, when are we getting married?" Lou Xiao'e asked, blinking her big eyes.

Compared to the Lou family mansion, she prefers Lin Shaowen's small courtyard.

When Lin Shaowen went to the countryside, she bought a lot of things for the yard, but most of them were for her own use.

"You can get married however you want. I have no objection." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Really?" Lou Xiao'e immediately straightened up with joy.

"Really." Lin Shaowen lit up a cigarette, thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll ask an elder to go to your house tomorrow to discuss this with your parents, is that okay with you?"

If it is an ordinary family, they may just come over to get the certificate.

But the Lou family couldn't agree. Lou Bancheng was a respectable man, and he didn't want to marry his daughter off without a clear mind.

"Then I'll go back and tell my parents..."

Lou Xiao'e ran away, but came back after a while.

"You... um."

Lin Shaowen was just about to ask her what she came back for, but Lou Xiaoe rushed up to him, hugged him and gave him a long kiss, then rode away on her bike.

"This guy..." Lin Shaowen laughed in silence.

Ministry of Industry.

Office of the Minister of Logistics.

"Uncle Zhang." Lin Shaowen called out.

"Oh, what brings Section Chief Lin here?"

Zhang Guoping's nose is not a nose, and his eyes are not eyes.

This kid has been at the steel mill for two whole months, and apart from asking someone to send him some fruits and food, no one has ever visited him.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be angry. I just don't want to cause you any trouble."

Lin Shaowen smiled bitterly.

He was already jealous at the steel mill. If everyone knew that he had a close relationship with the Minister of Logistics of the Ministry of Industry, wouldn't there be a big uproar? He didn't care, but he was afraid that some rumors would spread and it would be bad for Zhang Guoping.

"Now that you're an official, you know to be cautious." Zhang Guoping looked at him carefully for a long time before he smiled and said, "I was wondering why you are nothing like your father. He's a blockhead who only knows how to study technology, but you're getting promoted like a rocket."

"I am forced by the situation." Lin Shaowen laughed awkwardly, then said seriously, "Uncle Zhang, I came here to ask you for a favor."

"You say." Zhang Guoping immediately sat up straight.

He had been paying attention to some of Lin Shaowen's actions, and he also knew that Lin Shaowen had been favored by many senior officials. Now that he came to him, it must be a big deal.

"I would like to ask you to be my matchmaker and my witness." Lin Shaowen said a little embarrassedly.

"Good boy, this is great news." Zhang Guoping was overjoyed, "You and Lou Bancheng's daughter are together?"

"Yeah." Lin Shaowen nodded.

"Okay, I'll go to your house and ask for marriage on your behalf tomorrow." Zhang Guowei said happily.

He knew that Lin Shaowen's partner was Lou Xiao'e, and he hesitated before, after all, it was still a special period. But he changed his mind and thought that many people in the Ministry of Industry were students and former officials of Lin Shaowen's father. If there was a commotion, it might not be possible to save Lou Bancheng, but it would not be a problem to save Lou Xiao'e.

It's a new era now, there's no such thing as forcing someone's married daughter to death, right?

Of course, Lin Shaowen’s future will definitely be affected, but for a doctor, this is a special profession where technology is king.

"Thank you for your help. I will deliver the gift to you tomorrow." Lin Shaowen said gratefully.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Guoping frowned. "You are a member of our Ministry of Industry, and your father died in the line of duty. You are still responsible for these things? Aren't you slapping our Ministry of Industry in the face?"

"But……"

"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements tomorrow. You can go back now." Zhang Guoping began to see the guest off.

Lin Shaowen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

Chapter 80 The Domineering Matchmaking Team

Zhang Guoping submitted a report to the leaders of the Ministry of Industry, which first detailed how much Lin Shaowen's father had contributed to the development of the country. Then he began to tell how Lin Shaowen gave up the high salary at Concord and joined the steel rolling mill in order to inherit his father's legacy.

The senior leaders of the Ministry of Industry were deeply moved and gave a lot of support without saying a word.

Zhao Qingming, who had been paying attention to Lin Shaowen, found Zhang Guoping in person after hearing about this and was willing to work with him as a matchmaker. This shocked Zhang Guoping and the leaders of the Ministry of Industry, as Zhao Qingming was a well-known leader in the military.

Office of the Dean of Medical University.

"Teacher, I'm getting married." Lin Shaowen whispered.

"Section Chief Lin, are you still shy?" Qin Zhong laughed. "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is human nature and a good thing."

"Teacher, you know my parents are gone, so I would like to invite you over." Lin Shaowen's eyes were full of anticipation.

Even though Lou Bancheng is a capitalist, he has many relatives and friends.

Although most of them are not living a very happy life now, they are still the social elite after all, and he doesn't want Lou Xiao'e to be talked about in the future.

"I should be the one to attend your wedding, both emotionally and logically." Qin Zhong said comforted, "You go back and prepare first, and your master's wife and I will come forward when the time comes."

"Yes, thank you, teacher." Lin Shaowen said happily.

Qin Zhong looked at his back and also laughed.

September 23rd.

early morning.

Lou Bancheng was sitting in the living room in a black suit. Next to him sat Lou's mother, who was wearing a blue cheongsam and light makeup, but without any accessories.

"Master, the matchmaker is here..." the maid Wu Ma ran in and reported.

Lou Bancheng and his mother immediately stood up and walked into the yard.

"Boss Lou, congratulations."

Zhao Qingming was walking in the front, with Zhao Qingshan following beside him.

"Thank you very much, please come in and have some tea."

Lou Bancheng was shocked for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Shaowen only told him that he would invite a matchmaker, but he did not tell him that the matchmaker would be Zhao Qingming.

"Boss Lou, I'm Lin Shaowen's matchmaker, Zhang Guoping."

Zhang Guoping was followed by several young men, who were holding various gifts in their hands.

These were all purchased with funds from the Ministry of Industry, which also served as an explanation to Lin Shaowen's father.

"Minister Zhang, please come in."

Lou Bancheng had investigated Lin Shaowen and naturally knew that Lin Shaowen was from the Ministry of Industry.

"Boss Lou, congratulations."

Zhang Yuyang also walked in happily.

"Dean Zhang..."

Lou Bancheng immediately stepped forward to greet him, feeling extremely overjoyed in his heart.

The three matchmakers are all well-known figures. One is the Minister of Logistics of the Ministry of Industry, one is a military leader, and the other is an academician of the two academies. Isn’t the lineup too luxurious?

Everyone was drinking tea and chatting in the living room.

Lou Bancheng felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to the days when his house was full of guests.

Mother Lou did not ask the servant to serve tea, but served the tea herself.

These big shots might not care about her having servants at home, but they still had to at least look good.

"This is the betrothal gift list..."

Zhang Guoping handed over a big red booklet.
