And the next morning, when the preparations were ready, Lin Nan and Du Ling came to visit the Zhen family.

After Du Ling's introduction, Lin Nan also had a preliminary understanding of the Zhen family in Yecheng.

The Zhen family lives in Yecheng, and Hedong Weijia, Xuzhou Mijia, and Xiangyang Ding are listed as the four major merchants in the world, basically every corner of the Han land has the Zhen family's shop, and the current patriarch of the Zhen family, Zhen Yao, is nearly sixty years old, and is no longer the courage of the year, so now the business of the Zhen family is declining, and it is Zhen Yao's second son Zhen Yi who often does business in Bingzhou.

Zhen Yi, whose name is Qin, is handsome, has a posture, and knows poetry and rhythm, is a classic, humble and has the style of an elder.

This is Du Ling's evaluation of Zhen Yi.

Moreover, Mrs. Zhen Yi died early and only had three sons and one daughter.

After learning some relevant information, Lin Nan and Du Ling also came to Zhen's mansion.

At this time, Zhen Yi happened to be at home, and when he saw Lord Taishou visiting, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Taishou is visiting in person, how dare you do it." ”

Lin Nan helped him up, and said politely: "Nan Chu came here as an official, and he should visit Mr., Mr. doesn't need to be polite." ”

After being polite, after the guests and hosts sat down, Zhen Yi said: "I am just a businessman, how dare I call Mr. Lao Taishou, in the following table the word Qin, the adult can be called in the next Zi Qin." ”

"In this way, Nan will be big. Lin Nandao. "Although Nan is Jinyang Taishou, he is younger than Mr., so Zi Qin can be called Nan's cousin Ziyang. Don't mention the words of adults. ”

Zhen Yi said: "The words of the adult, I dare not agree with the subordinates, although Lord Lin is young, but after all, he is the Taishou of Jinyang, how can he be so disrespectful and inferior?"

Helpless, Lin Nan knew that he didn't dare to call himself Ziyang, so he had to say, "Then Zi Qin is free." ”

"I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Taishou to come today?" Zhen Yi knew that Lin Nan, who was the Taishou of a county, would not come to visit an ordinary businessman for no reason, so he asked tentatively.

Lin Nan said: "There is nothing else to do here. It's just that now Jinyang is dilapidated and financially difficult, so Nan wants to borrow some money from Ziqin. In order to overcome the difficulties, Nan is willing to use Jinyang's taxes as collateral. After saying these few words, Lin Nan himself felt depressed, Emperor Han Ling was a traitor, but he was selling taxes everywhere. I sold it once in Hanoi, and now I sell it for a second time, and it seems that this broken Taishou is not so easy to do.

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say that he wanted to borrow money, Zhen Yi was also quite embarrassed, if he borrowed it, he was afraid that he would not pay it back, and if he didn't borrow it, he would be too shou in Jinyang, and he might not be able to mix in Jinyang in the future.

After pondering for a moment, Zhen Yi said, "Since Lord Taishou came in person. How can you be too stingy in the next, besides, although you are not the people of Jinyang, you have been doing business in Jinyang for many years, so it is also within the scope of the next to be able to do your part for the people of Jinyang. ”

Seeing that Zhen Yi was very generous, Lin Nan was also very happy, so he said: "Zi Qin Gaoyi, the people of Jinyang in the Southern Dynasty have thanked Zi Qin." ”

Zhen Yi said: "Lord Shou is too polite. It is also a blessing to have the opportunity to work for adults. ”

As soon as he heard Zhen Yi say this, Lin Nan said, "Zi Qin is willing to go out?"

"How can a businessman be a businessman? Zhen Yi said with a sigh.

"Huh. Ziqin is too humble, I never count my background, I never look at my family background, but I am a meritocracy, and now Jinyang is lacking in government affairs. As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, a hint of joy flashed on Zhen Yi's face. He asked, "Can a businessman be an official?"

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Why can't you be an official? As long as you have both ability and political integrity, and are dedicated to serving the people, you are a qualified official." ”

And Du Ling, who was on the side, also said: "My family uses people, but only meritocracy, and never cares about family background, such a good opportunity, Zi Qin should not miss it." ”

Zhen Yi pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "If you are an official below, what is the matter with the master?"

Lin Nan said: "But the main Jinyang's financial taxes, but this matter is a big matter, and I am worried that Zi Qin will not dare to do it." ”

Zhen Yi thought for a while and said, "As long as the adults can trust me, I am willing to manage Jinyang's financial taxes for the adults." ”

Seeing that Zhen Yi also had some courage, Lin Nan said with a smile: "Zi Qin can be a master, it is really a blessing for the people of Jinyang." ”

At this time, Zhen Yi hurriedly got up and said to Lin Nan deeply: "The lord is above, please accept Zhen Yi's worship." ”

Seeing that Zhen Yi knew etiquette very well, Lin Nan hurriedly got up to support him and said, "Ziqin doesn't need to be polite. ”

After the two sat down again, Lin Nan said, "I don't know how much food Zi Qin can donate to Jinyang?"

Zhen Yi was about to speak, but was interrupted by a little girl's laughter.

A few people turned their heads to look, only to see a little girl running in through the door.

The little girl was dressed in pink clothes, with two small buns on her head, and ran towards Zhen Yi in a bouncing manner.

When he got closer, Lin Nan saw that the little girl's face was like two red apples, which was very cute, and there were actually two small dimples embedded in that cute face, which made people like it even more.

The little girl ran into the house, threw herself into Zhen Yi's arms, and said, "Daddy, no one plays with me, can you play with me?"

Helpless, Zhen Yi had no choice but to stroke the little girl's head and said in a consultative tone: "Father is discussing things with Lord Lin, and now I don't have time to coax you, you go to the two brothers first." ”

"No, they don't play with me, you can play with me, just for a while. The little girl said coquettishly in Zhen Yi's arms.

Zhen Yi said: "Mi'er, go play by yourself first, don't let Lord Lin laugh." ”

As soon as she heard Zhen Yi say this, the little girl turned her head, stared at Lin Nan and said, "My lord, what kind of adult are you?"

As soon as the little girl's words were finished, Zhen Yi hurriedly shouted: "Mi'er, don't be rude, this is the new Lord Jinyang Taishoulin." ”

Immediately, Zhen Yi hurriedly said to Lin Nan: "The little girl is young and ignorant, and I hope the lord will forgive me." ”

Lin Nan heard him call Mi'er, and knew that this little girl was Zhen Mi, but he didn't expect Zhen Mi to be so old now, so he couldn't help but be a little depressed, and then asked casually: "It's okay, but I don't know what the name of this girl is, how old is it?"

Zhen Yi said: "The little girl Zhen Mi, who was seven years old, died early, and I was too pampered to neglect discipline, so. Let the lord see it laugh. ”

"It doesn't matter. Lin Nan said, his eyes looked at Xiao Zhen Mi again.

Zhen Mi saw Lin Nan staring at herself, so she pouted and said, "Why do you keep staring at other people?

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Miss Zhen is innocent and lively, smart and cute. It's like an angel descending from earth. ”

Zhen Mi tilted her head and said, "Am I that good? My father and brothers are almost annoying me, and what are angels?"

"Mi'er, don't be rude. Seeing that Zhen Mi's words were absurd, Zhen Yi hurriedly shouted.

"It doesn't matter. Lin Nan waved his hand and said, "Angels are the most beautiful fairies in the sky. Miss Zhen is as cute as a little fairy in the sky. ”

Zhen Mi stared at a pair of big eyes and said innocently: "Really, then are you willing to play with me?"

Lin Nan smiled: "Of course I do." ”

Zhen Mi smiled again after hearing this: "Then, then are you willing to marry me? You don't have to do anything else, just marry me, my father said, I'm so naughty, so tricky, no one will marry me in the future, you can marry me." ”

"Shut up, Mi'er, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhen Yi couldn't help but shout angrily.

Meantime. Zhen Yi also hurriedly explained to Lin Nan: "Lord, Mi'er is still young, she doesn't understand anything, don't be surprised." ”

However, after listening to Zhen Mi's words, Lin Nan was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer, and Zhen Yi's words, Lin Nan didn't listen to them at all.

Seeing that Lin Nan was dumbfounded, Zhen Mi stomped his feet. He said angrily: "Hmph, it turns out that you don't want to marry me, it turns out that you are also lying to me, hmph." As he spoke, his eyes turned red. Tears were rolling in her eyes.

Lin Nan didn't expect Xiao Zhen Mi to be so cute, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay, I'll marry you, and when you grow up, I'll marry you." ”

As soon as she heard Lin Nan say this, Zhen Mi's heart suddenly burst into flames. The circles under his eyes suddenly returned to their normal color, and the big tears rolled back into his eyes in an instant.

So, Zhen Mi said: "Great, finally someone is willing to marry me, by the way, you can't go back, let's pull the hook." With that, Zhen Mi flew in front of Lin Nan and stretched out her little finger.

Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to hook his little finger with Zhen Mi seriously.

"Pull the hook, hang it, it won't change for a hundred years. Zhen Mi muttered, "Okay, from now on, you are my person, you have to play with me." After speaking, Zhen Mi kissed Lin Nan heavily on the face.

In the face of this sudden kiss, several people were stunned, not knowing what to do.

Zhen Yi was helpless, because it was self-defeating, Du Ling was surprised, because Zhen Mi was so individual, while Lin Nan was happy and depressed.

I'm happy because I got a big beauty from the Three Kingdoms again, and I'm depressed, because this beauty is too small now.

However, Lin Nan's reaction was quite fast, and he quickly got up and bowed to Zhen Yi and said, "Son-in-law Lin Nan Lin Ziyang, I have seen my father-in-law. ”

Lin Nan's worship made Zhen Yi panic.

He hurriedly helped Lin Nan up and said, "My lord, why is this? ”

"But I'm serious. Lin Nan said solemnly.

And Zhen Mi also said: "Why don't you make a count? Brother Ziyang has promised to marry me, no, I have to marry Brother Ziyang." ”

After Zhen Mi made such a fuss, Zhen Yi had nothing to say.

After a while, Zhen Yi said: "This, how is this good." ”

Lin Nan said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, tomorrow I will come south to propose marriage." ”

Seeing that Zhen Yi was still silent, Lin Nan said, "Isn't my father-in-law that Nan is not worthy of Mi'er?"

"It's not. Seeing Lin Nan's questioning, Zhen Yi hurriedly replied.

Lin Nan said solemnly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will treat Mi'er with a wife's courtesy, and when Mi'er becomes an adult, Nan will marry immediately and never break her word." ”

After listening to Lin Nan's promise, Zhen Yi's heart settled down a little, so he nodded and agreed, but what happened today was too sudden and unbelievable, so Zhen Yi still needed time to digest it.

Seeing Zhen Yi nodding in agreement, Lin Nan said: "In this way, Nan will retire first, and tomorrow, Nan will come to propose marriage." ”

After speaking, Lin Nan and Du Ling left Zhen's mansion, and Zhen Yi didn't stay, but Zhen Mi was reluctant to let Lin Nan go, and when he heard that Lin Nan would come tomorrow, he was relieved.

When he returned home, Lin Nan hurriedly asked Guan Hai and others to buy a bride price and prepare to propose tomorrow.

And when he thought of his people and money, Lin Nan didn't feel that he was snickering behind his back several times. (To be continued.) )
