"Go and ask me about the affairs of the Yin family and the Zhu family." Lin Yutong ordered and went back to the house to take a nap. When the weather is warm, people's spirits are short. If the calculation is correct, this child should be six years old.
It is a hot time when you are born in the moon, and you have to sit in confinement on a hot day.
Aunt Su responded and dismissed the eunuch. For things like this, Hei Qi would not be in trouble.
But the results that came back after inquiring made Grandma Su dumbfounded.
She turned around and went inside, and saw that Long live the Lord and the Queen were having dinner. It was not easy for her to reply at this time.
"Mammy, tell me." Lin Yutong waved to Mammy Su, "It's not that particular."
Fourth Master glanced at Lin Yutong, handed her the grilled shrimp, and nodded to Aunt Su.
Only then did Aunt Su step forward, "We did inquire about the matter that your Majesty asked us to inquire about."
"Half of the business of the Zhu family now is owned by the third master. The marriage between the Zhu family girl and the third master, the Zhu family master and the young master are very satisfied, but the Zhu family's wife and the girl proposed to invest in the Zhu family."
All the shares of the family are transferred to the name of the Zhu family girl. Moreover, the third master must be asked to get rid of all the girls and concubines in the family. Otherwise, he will not be able to get out. "
Lin Yutong was a little stunned. The two men of the Zhu family would be dead if they asked for such a large share of the industry. If they didn't have such thoughts, the mother and daughter would not dare to make such a fuss even if they were killed. And send Ji
Regarding my concubine, I now want to get rid of my concubine. Didn’t you already know who Sanlang was when we first got engaged? At that time, we were desperate to get married, but now we don’t like it. If we really do, we should break off the engagement.
.
This is not really about sending the concubine away, it is still for the sake of industry.
For Sanlang, if you asked him for some money, as long as it was generous, he might not be willing to give it to you. But such a calculation, let alone the second generation ancestor of Sanlang, would not be placed on anyone.
Do so.
"The Zhu family is afraid of Sanlang... Sooner or later, they will swallow up his family's property. This is not necessarily to plot against Sanlang. They just want to find a reason to completely separate the two families' properties." Fourth Master and Lin Yutong
Explained something.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment. Not to mention, what Fourth Master said seems to be the closest. "But no matter what the reason is or what the matter is, just explain it clearly. What is this fuss about?"
The fourth master smiled: "This may not be without benefits. It depends on how San Lang chooses. If he is willing to give up his shares in the Zhu family, give these shares to the Zhu family, and then simply break off the engagement. This San Lang is not a good match, but the Zhu family's
Girl..." He shook his head, "I can't afford to be in Sanlang's family."
"I'm afraid the Zhu family can't bear to part with Sanlang, their high-ranking son-in-law." Lin Yutong snorted, really wanting to take advantage of everything.
"That's none of our business." Fourth Master put vegetables into Lin Yutong's bowl again, "Don't just eat meat, eat more vegetables."
But being pregnant with this child makes me want to eat meat even more.
Lin Yutong ate the green vegetables, which tasted like chewing wax. He turned to Aunt Su and asked, "Go on."
Aunt Su carefully took a look at Lin Yutong's face before saying: "The Zhu family is not necessarily afraid of breaking off the engagement. Except for the girl from the Zhu family. She just wanted to use the excuse to get the third master to send away the concubine in the family, but Mrs. Zhu's wife
But she threatened that without the third master’s marriage, her girl would have a better future. With her kindness to the Lin family..."
Lin Yutong already knew what the Zhu family meant, "She planned it shrewdly. She knew that the eldest brother would have a title sooner or later."
Aunt Su nodded. If the third master and the royal family were to marry each other again, they would be separated from each other. But the Lin family is different. They are all direct brothers. Even if a prince is born in the future, they will still be the prince's maternal family. Apart from anything else,
It is certain that the third generation is Wuyu. In such a comparison, the third master may not be enough.
The key is that the Zhu family is indeed kind to the Lin family.
Lin Yutong laughed and shook his head, "I understand. Keep talking and I'll listen. How is the Yin family?"
Aunt Su's expression became even more strange: "I don't know who the men of the Yin family heard from, saying that there was a male in the family who could ask for a title. This matter has been rumored in the Yin family. The people who serve below
They were all thinking about it. Even the girl who was serving the old man climbed into bed. They heard that she was pregnant. The eldest old man was making arrangements to renew their relationship. I heard that the previous Mrs. Mei who had remarried also secretly met him.
I don’t know why I met the old man a few times. The third old man was at home, and he wanted to divorce the current Mrs. He and marry another famous lady. However, the third old man dealt with the other girls in the family fairly well. I heard that he was the one who wanted the queen.
The flower courtyard was given to several girls to live in, and the nuns who had left the palace were specially invited to educate them. Even the daughter born to the third-bedroom wife, Xiao He, was taken in. Normally, no one is asked to come in and disturb her, so it is quiet and appropriate."
The daughter born to Xiao He is the daughter of Erlang. If he can educate her carefully, Sanlang can be regarded as worthy of the dead Erlang.
Aunt Su said in a low voice: "The third master does not agree with the third master's divorce. The third master said that the third wife cannot have a wife. The third master said that the second master did not leave a posthumous girl? When the girl grows up in the future, he will recruit a wife.
He wanted to buy a property, but the third old man didn’t do it either. The matter came to a standstill. Finally, the third old man spoke up and said that it was okay to renew the relationship, and that the third house would get his share. This was temporarily suppressed.”
Lin Yutong put down her chopsticks and rubbed her forehead, "Okay, I understand." When Aunt Su went down, she looked at the fourth master, "I have a headache after listening to this ridiculous method." No wonder Sanlang came to complain.
To be honest, his attitude towards family matters was not wrong.
Fourth Master helped Lin Yutong stand up, "Don't worry about this matter. I'll take care of it."
Who would have known that the next day, the fourth master would begin to ennoble titles.
Dalang Yinzheng was named Prince Chun.
Sanlang Yinduo was granted the title of Prince Xiaoyao.
Lin Jiren was canonized as Cheng'en Gong, and his eldest son Lin Yusong was canonized as the Crown Prince. His second son Lin Yuhuai was canonized as Anlebo.
Lin Shuanzhu was awarded the title of First Class Viscount.
Li Fang, Tietou, Qin Yi, Hu Da, and Fan Dongzhe were all canonized as dukes.
He Mao, Lu Heng and Fang Changqing were marquises.
Li Jishan, Liu Shuquan and Hei Qi are earls.
There are also viscounts and barons in varying amounts.
When Lin Yutong listened to the news from the previous dynasty, he immediately discovered a problem. The fourth master's imperial edict did not mention how the title should be passed down. For example, it was not mentioned whether the title could be reduced after several generations, etc.
Only Duke Cheng'en made the inheritance clear and directly crowned Lin Dalang the crown prince. This proves that the inheritance can be passed down for at least one more generation.
These people who have been canonized are happy now, but they will know when they come to their senses. Whether their title can be passed on depends on their future performance.
The Fourth Master's explanation in the previous dynasty was that the world had not yet been settled, and that rewards would be given after the world was unified.
This is a carrot caught in front of everyone's eyes. Let's all rush forward with all our strength. As long as we make meritorious deeds, we will be rewarded.
By the way, the fourth master summoned the people of the Zhu family and said that they had helped Qin Yi transport grain and were given a baron to the Zhu family. He also thought that for their service to the Lin family, they would be promoted to a higher rank and directly rewarded with a viscount.
The faces of the Zhu family's father and son turned pale. This title was naturally good, but it also meant that the emperor had repaid the Zhu family's kindness on behalf of the Lin family. This kind of kindness could no longer be relied upon by the Zhu family.
In fact, today's new dynasty is different from the past. It does not attach much importance to titles. Having a title means at most how much salary and money the court gives every year. The other privileges are really hard to see.
But is the Zhu family short of money?
The fourth master did not give the two of them a chance to speak, and waved his hand to tell them to go down.
Later, Jin and Xiao Zhu entered the palace and asked to see Lin Yutong.
This time, even the little Zhu family had nothing to say. Her son could be granted a viscount title because he was the queen's cousin. The Zhu family was also granted the title of viscount, which was a huge reward. This will happen again in the future.
Not satisfied, there is really no good fruit to eat.
"...What the Zhu family means is that Guixian and Third Master are not compatible with each other in their horoscopes... It's better to give up on this engagement." Little Zhu whispered, "Third Master made the matter clear and said he would only withdraw.
After all, my father is not good for the girl’s family, so he gave all the shares in Zhu’s shop to Guixian as compensation. This matter is over.”
As for that girl in Guixian, no one really cares about her troubles. It's her stupid mother who wants to blame her for pushing the envelope even further.
Lin Yutong waved her hand, "That's it! That's it." She really didn't have the energy to meddle in such noisy matters.
Jin interrupted: "I think it's time to start planning your eldest and second brother's marriage. There are many people coming to propose marriage, but there really aren't any suitable ones."
"Take it slowly, don't be in a hurry. Find something you like, and don't make trouble anymore." Lin Yutong stroked her belly and leaned on the couch. As the weather got hot, she felt a little irritable.
Seeing her daughter's lack of energy, Mrs. Jin got up first: "Then you have a rest. When you have nothing to do, take a walk in the yard..."
"I've written it down." Lin Yutong asked Aunt Su to send the two of them out of the palace.
The title was awarded in one letter, and the next day, the military aircraft department sent a lot of invitations to fight, as well as blood letters asking for the fight, requesting the imperial court to send troops to the south.
The fourth master took this book at night and weighed it from side to side.
"What?" Lin Yutong said with a smile: "Really want to go south at this time?"
The Fourth Master nodded, "If we don't send troops now, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next year." This is what Jiang said. It's best to do it when the weather is warm. From now to the beginning of winter, there is still half a year, which is enough. As long as
After crossing the river, all that is left is a matter of time. "This year's summer grain will be coming soon, so food and salary are not a problem. In addition, these soldiers below are eager to make contributions and full of fighting spirit. Maybe we can give it a try..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Chunlai walked in quickly, "Master, the black commander wants to see you."
Fourth Master nodded, "Call in."
Hei Qi was still breathing when he came in: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the old emperor of Ming Dynasty... passed away..."
