Cute, have you subscribed before?

Lin Buxian saw it, and said softly, "I said something to my mother, so you all

get back and leave no one to wait."

"Yes." Yuyi retreated with a group of maids, leaving no servants within 30

steps, and Yuyi personally guarded them.

Lin Buxian took off the light gauze covering his face, revealing a skin that

can be broken by blowing and a delicate face.

Seeing her daughter becoming more and more beautiful and generous, Mrs. Lin

felt even more uncomfortable. Her daughter was intelligent and sensible since

she was a child. She knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and

painting. She was knowledgeable and respected her parents. If she was not born

in this merchant family, why should she be so wronged?

Lin Buxian respectfully knelt in front of his mother, saluted, and said,

"Please greet your mother. Father and mother return home. If the daughter

fails to meet him, he asks the mother to punish him."

Mother Lin pulled up her daughter, tears flowed out, and said distressedly:

"How many times have I told you, although there are many rules in the house,

but your father and I are just you, a daughter. Don't be too strict about the

red tape! "

"Mother, the rules are still to be observed, and if you go up, you will be

inferior. My daughter is now half of the head of the Lin Mansion. If even I

have lost the rules, how can I control the people below?"

Mother Lin patted the back of Lin Buxian's hand and sighed, "If you are a

man...hey, let's not talk about it, don't blame you, it's because my father

and I didn't have that life."

"Mother, you and Dad hurried back home, but what happened?"

"Daughter, mother told you...Don't go to your heart, your father has already

thought of an idea..."

After that, Mother Lin informed Lin Buxian of the contents of the Pegasus

secret report, and said to Lin Buxian: It is said that the wedding date of

Zhong Xiaoting and the third lady of Shangshufu will be after Lin Buxian’s

double tenth birthday. Zhong Xiaoting will bring his newlyweds back home to

worship their ancestors. At that time, he will definitely come to propose

marriage and discuss concubine matters. Because this marriage was bestowed by

the sage, the Lin Mansion was unable to fight, and Master Lin and Zhong

Xiaoting had reached a consensus. If Zhong Xiaoting talked about the matter

with the "promise", the Shangshu Mansion would help him, Lin The government

will be very passive.

Mrs. Lin wiped her tears and looked at Lin Buxian with teary eyes, and said,

"Daughter, I blame my parents for not knowing people. If you feel wronged in

your heart, please don't hold back... This house is our mother and daughter.

Two, if you want to cry, just cry out."

Lin Buxian looked at her mother, took out the silk kerchief and wiped her

tears intimately, but her expression was always faint, or she had been stunned

for a moment, but it was more calm, and even a hint of...fortunate.

Miss Lin Si also understands that this is a big deal. The reason why she

agreed to marry Zhong Xiaoting was that Lin Mansion's hundred-year family

business would not be left behind, but now Lin Mansion has fallen into an

unprecedented crisis.

Lin's family passed down to his own generation and had no successors. The

branch family had long been criticized about this. The elders in the family

had proposed to adopt a son from the side branch to be the leader of the

mansion, but their father refused.

The same clan has been coveting it for a long time, and now the crisis of the

Lin Mansion has to add a coveted amount to the power officials, and Miss Lin

Si, who has always been indifferent, also feels quite heavy.

The household minister in the mouth of his mother is powerful and ambitious.

His younger sister is the favorite concubine of his majesty today. She is in

the position of first-grade imperial concubine and has the power of assistant

to the sixth house. The prince has grown into adulthood, except for the queen

in the harem, her status is respected.

Although the Lin Mansion spends 30% of its income every year for the

management of all parties, and Shangshu Mansion has also received a lot of

benefits from the Lin Mansion, but the people are always greedy. How can it be

directly occupied by the "district" management. readily?

"My life-stricken daughter..."

Lin Buxian shook Madam Lin's hand back, and said with a warm voice, "Don't

worry about your mother. There is still half a month before your daughter's

birthday. It will take a month to go from Beijing to Los Angeles. I always

think of ways before that. Besides, didn’t the mother say that the father

already had a solution?"

Miss Lin Si doesn’t say much on weekdays, but there is a magical power in her

words, which can both calm people’s hearts and be convincing. Mrs. Lin’s mood

has obviously calmed down a lot, and she squeezed Lin Buxian. "Yes, there will

always be a way. It’s just that your father is the most faithful in his life,

if... the big deal, mother will give up this old face, and she will destroy

the marriage personally. You are a mother." My mother will definitely not push

you into the fire pit, even if it is the royal family's house, the name of the

concubine's house is not to spit out bones."

The concubine, the "liu", has a very low status in the concubine room of the

country of Yan. The family owner, the regular wife, and the children born to

the regular wife are the real family members. To put it nicely, the concubine

room is only served by a large family. Not only do they have no right to speak

at home, they have to "stand" on one side when facing a regular wife, and even

the children who give birth cannot call themselves mothers, but should be

called "aunts."

The wife, who was hired by three media and six persons, carried eight sedan

chairs, married into the mansion from the main entrance, and was recorded in

the genealogy.

Concubine, there is no need to worship heaven and earth, the wedding dress is

not red but pink and tender pink, and a small sedan chair is carried from the

corner door to the mansion. If the master does not want it, even the banquet

is not necessary.

There are some large households who use concubine rooms as things to exchange

or give as gifts. The concubine rooms are not protected by law in Yan State,

and it is not uncommon for a powerful mother to send it away at will.

It is conceivable that a woman who marries as a concubine will be so sad in

her life, and it is no wonder that even Master Lin, who has experienced great

storms, is furious.

Lin Buxian lowered his eyes and whispered softly, "My daughter is not filial,

and my parents are worried and worried."

Mrs. Lin sighed, but didn't say anything more. The daughter she gave birth to,

she knows best, her daughter is good in everything, but the sensible since

childhood makes people feel distressed.

...

On the other side, Master Lin came to the Li Mansion in the east of the city

and ordered the butler to hand over the greeting note and wait in the

carriage.

In a short while, the door of the Li Mansion opened, and Li Qingshan, the head

of the Li Mansion, the prefect of Los Angeles, went out to meet him in person.

The two exchanged warm greetings and joined hands to enter the house.

When he came to Li Qingshan's study, Lin Wei removed his disguise, showing a

sad face, and sighed heavily.

"Why is Brother Lin like this?" Li Qingshan asked.

The prefect of Los Angeles, Li Qingshan, and Master Lin Weilin are good

friends. Li Qingshan’s wife is the wife and sister of King Jing. King Jing is

the younger brother of the sage. He once held the power of the army. Later,

the emperor listened to the slander and wanted to regain the power. The crime

of "disrespect" by King Jing was cured, and the original intention was to

knock the mountain and shake the tiger, forcing King Jing to take the

initiative to return the soldier talisman, but did not want King Jing to have

a strong temperament and arrogant heart, so he hit and died in front of the

king to death.

After the death of King Jing, the emperor repented and made King Jing's aunts

inherit the father's throne. He made an exception and was still named Prince

of One Character and changed to King Ning.

Xu is owed to his conscience, and since then, His Majesty the emperor has

given him a lot of love for his relatives, King Ning.

And this King Ning, the child of Li Qingshan's wife and sister, wanted to call

Li Qingshan "uncle".

Before King Jing's accident, Li Qingshan was a third-rank official in Beijing.

He was imprisoned in the case of King Jing. It was Lin Wei who spent 800,000

taels of silver to get Li Qingshan's family out of the prison.

After the death of King Jing, the emperor released most of King Jing's "party

feathers". Li Qingshan suddenly opened up overnight and left the center of

power on his own request. He asked for an errand from the prefect of Los

Angeles and went to Lin Wei's land.

After learning about Zhong Xiaoting and Shang Shufu's conspiracy, Master Lin

stayed up all night and traced the contacts in his hand.

The Lin family holds many political resources in their hands, and they are

more prominent than Li Qingshan, but when it comes to being practical and

reliable, it is Li Qingshan.

Besides, there is a noble concubine behind Hubu Shangshu, and behind Li

Qingshan sits a Royal Highness Ning, who is right to find him.

Master Lin told the story once. Li Qingshan frowned when he heard it. He had

been polite for a lifetime. He couldn't say anything rude, so he could only

shout: "Insult to gentleman."

"Qingshan, Brother Yu is over half a hundred years old, and there is only this

prostitute under his knees. In this matter... please help."

Li Qingshan was also worried for his old friend. Without going around, he said

directly, "Brother Lin meant, do you want His Royal Highness Ning to come

forward and mediate?"

Lin Wei shook his head. He did have this plan at the beginning, but he thought

about it... Master Lin felt that his daughter was about to celebrate the

double tenth birthday, and the woman was going to marry. Born Zhong Xiaoting

also appreciates his talents, and hopes that the "combination of officials and

businessmen" will give the Lin Mansion more shelter in the future. After all,

his daughter is a female generation. When he waits for a hundred years...

those contacts in the past may not necessarily put a woman in In his eyes,

only marrying her into a noble family would allow her daughter to survive even

if the Lin Mansion's family business is not guaranteed.

Lin Mansion has been rich for a hundred years, and this family business has

been too big. At this point, Master Lin does not know whether it is a blessing

or a curse.

"Brother Qingshan, if you don't dislike it, I want to be your son and daughter

in-laws."

"This... But Lin'er and Hao'er have already married wives. Among the children,

only my ineffective third son Li Yuan is still unmarried. This child has a

strange temperament and does not do his job properly. Will he be wronged by a

virtuous wife?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Lin Wei's face. Li Yuan's reputation was not

very good in the Los Angeles aristocratic circle. Ordinary people only knew

that the third son of Li was a bookworm, and he stayed simple.

But almost everyone in your circle knows that the place where Li San Gongzi

must go every time he goes out is Fireworks Alley. He always likes to make

friends with the best in class, and spends money like dirt on weekdays.
