In any case, in Lin Penghai's heart, his wife and two daughters contributed to his ability to report to Beijing this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now that he saw his wife and children guarding the door waiting for him to come back, he was also overjoyed, and asked Lin Zhixuan first, and then asked Mrs. Wang.
Lin Zhixuan saw that Lin Penghai and Mrs. Wang were reunited after a long absence, and she must have a lot to say at this time, so she only gave her father a salute first, and then went back, and asked Mrs. Wang to wait for Lin Penghai to change clothes and rest first, saying that she and Lin Ruoxuan would come to see each other at dinner.
Lin Penghai saw that his daughter was so attentive and considerate, and knew how to advance and retreat, and he also sighed that his daughter had really grown up, so he smiled and asked Lin Zhixuan to go first.
When Lin Zhixuan and Lin Ruoxuan came over at dinner in the evening, Mrs. Wang had already told Lin Penghai most of the things of these days.
After dinner, Lin Penghai first asked Lin Shuxuan about Ren Guanghe, and Lin Shuxuan replied one by one, only saying that now that he has the help of the prince, he can rest assured for the time being.
asked Lin Ruoxuan again if she was in good health, and then praised Lin Zhixuan for acting properly, sure enough, she has grown up and can be considerate of her mother, and she seems to have unintentionally mentioned: "...... It's also time to talk about the family. ”
Lin Zhixuan was surprised, why did her father worry about her marriage, she was obviously only fourteen, and she could wait a few more years.
After asking around, Lin Penghai asked Mrs. Liu how Lin Yaxuan's injuries were.
Mrs. Liu is a brother and sister-in-law, usually Lin Penghai asked her first out of courtesy, but she didn't want to end up now, and she didn't know what wind Mrs. Wang had blown in Lin Penghai's ears just now. Or maybe Lin Zhixuan, Lin Ruoxuan, and Mrs. Wang are all beneficial to Lin Penghai's career this time, so they will offer condolences first.
Mrs. Liu was indignant in her heart, and wanted to tell the Mu family and Lin Yaxuan about their marriage, after all, the Mu family is the first assistant of the cabinet, if Lin Yaxuan can marry the Mu family, it will definitely be like a tiger for Lin Penghai to stay in Beijing this time.
But now that this matter is troublesome, she can't get out of the door of the Liang family, and there is no news from the Mu family, but Mrs. Liu has no bottom in her heart, for fear that she won't be able to say it again, but it will make people laugh, so she only responded to two sentences, Lin Yaxuan's body is already well, so Lin Penghai is worried, and there is nothing else to say.
Lin Penghai asked all the people in the family, and the family also met Lin Penghai, so Mrs. Wang persuaded Lin Penghai to come all the way to come over, don't talk late, go to bed early.
Lin Zhixuan also persuaded a few others, and while getting up to say goodbye, everyone dispersed one after another.
Lin Penghai said to Mrs. Wang: "The officials who entered Beijing with me this time were all arranged to enter the palace on October 17 to meet the emperor.
I inquired about the rules of Tanjing in Beijing today, the Military Aircraft Department and the cabinet ministers, each of whom said 400 gold; the upper and lower classes of Zhangjing, each of whom had 16 gold, and those who had friendships or correspondence offices, ranging from 100 to 80 gold; the six Shangshu and the General Constitution had 100 gold, and the Shilang and Dajiuqing had 50 gold; and the townsmen, the same year, and the year had a good family background, and they all entertained. This time, it was said that it would cost more than 15,000 taels of silver.
Originally, when the Xu family was there, Jeju Mansion also managed tens of thousands of taels of silver, but this time Jeju was too badly affected by the disaster, and the houses were destroyed. I only brought 2,000 taels into Beijing, how much silver did you bring from Hangzhou?"
Mrs. Wang said: "I was thinking that it would cost money to go to Beijing to ask for someone to go to Beijing, so I brought 20,000 taels of silver tickets into Beijing, so Prince Jing helped, and the silver was not used, but these days I went in and out as a guest, and it also cost thousands of taels, and the rest, I originally planned to let Ah Zhi help watch the purchase of a house in the capital, but now why don't you put it first, this silver lord will take it for emergency first."
Deal with the things up and down, you can do more or less, the matter of buying a house, I have already gone to Hangzhou to write a letter, and I will talk about it when I get the money from home. If it is not enough, the Liang family is not short of silver, and now the second girl is in charge of the Liang family's house and shop in the capital, and she can also pay some from her. ”
Lin Penghai twisted his eyebrows and said, "Why did you bring such a little silver into Beijing?"
Mrs. Wang said: "The earthquake caused a lot of trouble, the Baolai Pavilion collapsed at home, and the Zhuangzi everywhere also suffered a disaster, the house collapsed to be built, the Zhuangzi broke down and had to be repaired, and the dead people in Hangzhou had to go around, and the silver also flowed out, and there was not much silver in the family account." ”
Lin Penghai let out a long sigh when he heard this.
After a while, he said: "Then it won't be that you can't even take out fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver." ”
Mrs. Wang said: "You can't spend all the money, isn't there still a marriage between Ah Zhi and her fourth sister to take care of, you have to keep some, in case Ah Zhi agrees on someone else in Beijing, we can't go and borrow her a dowry." Now it is not difficult to get together and take out 20,000 taels, and it will not delay the master's matter this time. ”
Lin Penghai sighed again before asking, "How is Ah Zhi's marriage?"
Mrs. Wang was also surprised that Lin Penghai, who had never cared about these things, asked for the second time today, and then said: "Prince and Princess Zhuang have already asked to help Zhang Luo, but it has only been a few days, and there is no letter yet." Master, could it be that you have any plans?"
Lin Penghai walked back and forth in the house twice before saying: "I have never had any contact with Cai Ge Lao, this time he suddenly favored me so much, I am also flattered, I have no bottom in my heart, after all, I still have to go to Cai Ge Lao's Mansion to see, if I can really stay in Beijing this time, then Cai Ge Lao and I are the grace of acquaintance, I want you to go with me, and also talk to Mrs. Cai, to see if the Cai family has any children of the right age, and Ah Zhi will make a family affair." ”
As soon as she heard Lin Penghai say this, Mrs. Wang tasted the meaning of taking her daughter to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and immediately her face turned unsightly, and said, "What if there is no suitable one?"
Lin Penghai saw Mrs. Wang's rare cold face, and then arrived: "Forget it, I'm just saying this, what are you anxious about, Ah Zhi grew up under my knees since she was a child, I will definitely put her first, and I will not take her to reward my benefactor." It's just for you to see, if there is a suitable brother with a noble character, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to marry Ah Zhi?"
After Mrs. Wang heard Lin Penghai's words, she stopped speaking, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
She originally wanted to tell Lin Zhixuan a good family matter, although Cai Ge Lao had only just entered the cabinet, but after all, he was still a secretary of the ministry, and the officials were in charge of the promotion and dispatch of officials, if she could really marry the Cai family, it would be very beneficial for Lin Penghai to climb up in the officialdom in Beijing in the future.
