As for having a good talk with Xu Jian, can we get a 50-50 share...
Lin Yunyan thought about it. With her grandmother's character of being kind to others, she definitely wouldn't dare to take advantage of her.
Worried that her mother was always thinking about Yun Yan's "big moves", Lin Xun took the initiative to ask Xiao Duan: "Have you decided on the person who will handle the matter?"
"It's settled," Xiao Duan said, "Mama Ruan's grand-niece and grandson-in-law, named Gao An, is doing business in Tong County. I'll ask Mammy Ruan to call him to the capital."
Tong County is located in the south of Beijing. Because it is a large county before entering Beijing, the commercial market is also very lively.
With the distance between the two places, Gao'an will be able to reach Beijing the day after tomorrow at the latest.
"It's good to meet each other face to face," Lin Xun said. "In the Yamen, Jingdong's family should be the priority."
Compared with Gao'an, Jing Dafeng is a real foreigner, and ordinary people cannot guess his backing.
"Speaking of which," little Duan asked, "how did Yun Yan know about the relationship between the Jingdong family and Duke Fu?"
Lin Yunyan blinked her eyes.
Of course I can't tell the truth. Telling it will scare little Duan to death.
What a lie, she was already prepared, still half-truth mixed with half-falsehood: "The late Madam Madam Wen had a good personal relationship with Concubine Wen. Have you heard about this?"
Xiao Duan thought about it for a while and sighed: "It was too long ago and I can't remember clearly. There seems to be such a rumor."
When the truth was told, Lin Yunyan added lies: "We started chatting during the horse-drawing ceremony. The Empress Dowager wanted to give some temples more money for fragrant oil, but she was also afraid that the people in the palace would cause trouble and stir up trouble. I heard that the Empress Dowager also said that her identity was here, and every move she made was
It is impossible for her to be like ordinary people. In the past, she heard from the old lady of the country that the couple had a business friend in Yuhang who donated money to charity halls and temples and was known as Jing Dashanren..."
Mr. Duan nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "We in the uncle's house must act cautiously, and the nobles in the palace are even more so."
She just asked out of curiosity, not intentionally questioning. Lin Yunyan could answer a few decent questions casually, which was enough to deal with it.
"When Gao An arrives, let Chen Gui take him to see Jing Dong's family," Xiao Duan told Lin Xun, "According to the previous calculation, the money on the book is almost enough. I don't need to touch Yun Jing's dowry. I'm really relieved.
.”
Lin Xun echoed: "That's what I thought when I got the paperwork."
The mother and son chatted for a few more words, and Lin Yunyan sat aside, eating snacks and not talking.
Xiao Duan saw this in her eyes and thought about it. After dismissing Lin Xun, she asked her in a low voice: "Yun Yan has something to say?"
"Although I won't touch my eldest sister's dowry," Lin Yunyan said bluntly, "I suggest you wait a little longer and don't get married within this year."
Xiao Duan's breath tightened, and she immediately thought of the inside story that the grandfather and grandson had discussed before.
The Holy One may have the intention of killing the chicken to scare the monkey!
Regarding this matter, Mr. Duan had already discussed this matter with Lin Yu a few days ago.
Lin Yuan was a sincere uncle. Even if he did not hold an important position in the court, he would definitely feel better than others in the family when he was out and about.
However, Lin Yu didn't feel any disturbance.
That being said, mother and son did not doubt the news brought back by Lin Yunyan.
After all, besides the Royal Study Room, the place that can best gauge the Holy Spirit's will is the Cining Palace.
How can foreign ministers like them be sharper than the Empress Dowager?
"You mean, the Holy One may take action within the year?" Xiao Duan asked in a low voice.
"I originally thought that it wouldn't be so soon, but now I see what Duke Fu means..." Lin Yunyan leaned over and almost whispered in Xiao Duan's ear, "Tell me, why does Duke Fu want to do Lao Shi Xiang?"
Jing Daguan came forward for the deal?
Can he be short of money? Isn’t he short of money on the books?
He had been in and out of the imperial study a while ago, and he might have figured out something.
When Chen Gui was doing business in Laoshi Lane, how many times did he go back and forth and how many accounts did he make?
The Duke is very wealthy, so Jing Dafan went directly to the Yamen and opened his mouth, which shows that he is also in a hurry."
Little Duan took a breath.
This happened!
There is only Miaomiao in Duke Fu's palace. Now he is injured, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and he has handed over the dictionary. He wants to be an idle dignitary. The emperor is just looking for a fat chicken. Ordinarily, he shouldn't be looking for him. There is no need.
But even such a "safe" Duke Fu has to avoid the limelight...
"You are right," Xiao Duan nodded, "We have to wait and see the situation in Duke Xu's mansion."
She made up her mind, and when Mrs. Xu Guogong came to visit the next day, little Duan could not bear to say anything.
"Yunjing is a filial child. After her father left, she relied on her to support her mother. The relationship between mother and daughter is very deep."
"She is the eldest sister. She has been a role model for the younger sisters since she was a child. They get along very well with each other."
"After much thought, I still want to keep the children at home for New Year's Eve and wait until next spring to get married."
Mrs. Xu Guogong was quite surprised.
Previously, it was clear that the uncle was sincere and wanted to hold the wedding earlier, so why did it suddenly have to be postponed?
Is the marriage about to go wrong?
As soon as the idea came to her mind, Mrs. Xu Guogong rejected it herself.
The two families have changed their relationship, and it is a sure thing. Uncle Chengyi's house is not a shameless family, and will never act randomly.
Besides, Lin Yunjing married into a wealthy family, and the marriage was ruined. Where could she find someone equally good?
Mrs. Xu Guogong didn't mean to belittle Lin Yunjing. If she really didn't like her and looked down on her, how could she choose her as her daughter-in-law?
What she values is the harmonious and good family tradition of the Lin family, and Lin Yunjing's upright and calm temperament. These two points are much more important than being born by a concubine or a legitimate son.
My third son has such a wild temper and his behavior is a headache, so he must have such a steady wife to take care of him!
Having said that, if someone didn't care about the girl so much, how could he develop such a temperament?
Since the two families were about to get married, Mrs. Xu Guogong did not care about Xiao Duan's face: "My eyes are sore just listening to these few words of yours.
The mood of the family will definitely be different between marrying a girl and marrying a daughter-in-law.
Then let's do what you want, let's choose a good day after spring next year, when the flowers are blooming and the weather is warmer.
The eldest girl is so loved in the house, we won’t let her suffer any injustice after she comes here, so you can rest assured!”
"I'm sure I'm at ease," Xiao Duan laughed, "I'm getting married because I believe you will treat us well, Yun Jing."
Over at Qingpuyuan, Mr. Huang was anxiously waiting for the news.
Hearing that Mrs. Xu Guogong had returned, Mrs. Huang came to Zaishouyuan and asked Mr. Duan about the wedding date.
"After the New Year," Xiao Duan held her hand and said, "You have worked too hard these years. You two, mother and daughter, will celebrate the New Year together."
Huang's smile almost froze on her face.
She had felt something was wrong the previous time, but now she was convinced.
"Really just to let Yun Jing stay at home for a few more months?" Huang couldn't hold it back and asked, "Old madam, is there no problem with this marriage?"
"Where are the words?" Xiao Duan said, "We are sincere in getting married, and Duke Xu's family is also sincere in asking for marriage. What's the problem? Don't think too much, and don't scare Yun Jing."
The old lady had already said that. If Huang had any questions, he could not continue to ask, so he had to stand up and leave.
It was Qingyan who sent her away.
When going down the steps, Mrs. Huang stumbled a bit, thanks to Grandma Hong's quick eyesight and quick hands.
When the others stood firm, Qingyan came to help her belatedly.
Mrs. Huang glanced at her and wondered again: Why is this maid more absent-minded than herself?
Thanks to book friend ChenLinda for the 10,000-coin reward, and thanks to book friend Xiaoyuan, A Big Bag, and Xiaoyuan for the reward.
