When Lin Yan walked into Funing Hall, there were intermittent voices of talking and occasional hearty laughter from women in the flower hall of Funing Hall.

Lin Yan asked the maid Zisu, "Grandmother, there are guests here?" ”

Zi Su replied with a smile: "Yes, it's Mrs. Changxuanhou." ”

Lin Yan frowned, a little surprised. Because the prince of Changxuanhou was making a fuss about marrying Lin Li, Mrs. Changxuanhou and the Li family didn't talk about falling out, it was almost the same, the two families had not been in contact for many years, and she really didn't understand why Mrs. Changxuanhou came to the door again.

Zi Su probably saw the confusion on Lin Yan's face clearly, leaned over and whispered: "Mrs. Changxuan Hou came to be a matchmaker, and she came to the door to talk to the fifth girl and the fourth young master in the second room of their Hou Mansion. ”

Lin Yan was even more surprised, if she remembered the fifth girl, she should be the concubine of the second room of the Fu family, Lin Chenggang said that the best thing is the eldest son of the concubine, really calculated, he was born in the outer room, and his biological mother has no name, and he is not even a concubine. It is precisely because of this that Lin Chenggang and Lin Wan's family affairs have always been neither embarrassing nor embarrassing, and they are not up or down.

However, she thought that it was not surprising that there had been an endless stream of people who had come to the door to be matchmakers or propose relatives recently.

Zi Su also smiled and joked with Lin Yan: "You said that these ladies are really funny, do you know that yesterday there was even a lady who wanted to come to the door to marry Miss Six for her son." Miss Six is only a few years old, and her son is only eight years old. ”

In fact, everyone knows that the Lin Mansion became so hot after Lin Yan decided to do the future. In the past, when Lin Xian was still alive, the Lin family was also hot, but since Lin Xian's death, people inside and outside the court feel that the new queen is established, and there are too many variables for the prince's position as the prince, especially Wu Guifei, who has a second prince, seems to have a winning position in the future, and the situation of the Lin family has been weakened.

So at this time, although Shiso is satirizing those who have a tendency to attach, there is also a faint sense of pride on him.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Since grandmother has a guest, then I'll go to the backyard to see my grandmother first." ”

It stands to reason that when a guest comes, she should go and pay a visit. But now that her identity is gone, I'm afraid it will be endless, and she is impatient to deal with them, so it's better to avoid them for the time being.

Zi Su also understood what Lin Yan meant, and said, "Fourth Miss, go ahead, when Mrs. Tai's meeting is over, the slave will call you." ”

Lin Yan nodded, and then went to the back yard.

Old Mrs. Zhuang was lying on a rocking chair under the tree in the yard basking in the sun, humming a tune in her mouth. Lin Yan heard this tune, and Zhuang sometimes hummed when he was happy, as if Lin Yan's maternal grandfather was the head of the cottage back then, a song like a village song was sung in the cottage, which was not very elegant, but it was better than the lively tune.

When Mrs. Zhuang saw Lin Yan coming in, she beckoned to her with a smile and said, "Yuan Yuan, come in, come in." ”

Lin Yan walked over with a smile, squatted down beside her, and said with a smile: "What song did my grandmother hum just now, and teach me to sing it." ”

Mrs. Zhuang said: "That's not good, this song is not indecent." ”

She lay on the rocking chair and looked at Lin Yan for a while, then reached out and touched her hair, and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, you are so old that you are going to get married." She said and compared with her hands, and then said: "When you were born, you were only so small, and your mother was a little unhappy when she gave birth to you, and your father and your mother were just reconciled, and grandmother was worried about you." On the one hand, I am worried that your father and your mother will quarrel again, and on the other hand, I am worried that you will not be able to support you, and I am afraid that it will be bad if you feed your body and bones. But I didn't expect that you are a competitive person, not only growing up healthy and healthy, but also more sensible than anyone else. I know your mother's temperament, sometimes it is irritating to twist it up, if you don't turn around in the middle, your father and your mother may not have the life they have today. ”

Lin Yan pretended to be angry and said, "Grandmother, what did you say." How can my mother be as bad as you say, and you look at Daddy, now I feel sorry for my mother, I let my mother do everything, and my father and my mother can be as good as now, or my father's greatest credit. ”

Mrs. Zhuang said: "I know, I know, your father is also a good person now." ”

It's a good thing now, which means it wasn't a good thing before.

Lin Yan pursed her lips and smiled, but she was afraid that her grandmother would still complain in her heart about her father's failure to live up to her mother.

Lin Yan also wanted to say a few words to make Mrs. Zhuang happy, but at this time, the maid outside came to report: "Second Master Zhuang is here." ”

Then the second master Zhuang in green clothes walked in, Lin Yan stood up, gave him a family salute, and called: "Second cousin." ”

Second Master Zhuang hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, then made a light gesture, and also said: "Yuan Yuan." Then he turned to Mrs. Zhuang and shouted, "Auntie." ”

Lin Yan thought that he had something to say to Mrs. Zhuang, so she said, "Second cousin, you talk to your grandmother, and I'll go and make you some tea." ”

Second Master Zhuang said politely: "It's troublesome." ”

Lin Yan looked at him restrained and polite, but he showed a little closeness, and he was really helpless. Since Na Cai asked for her name, many people have different attitudes towards her, quietly or subtly.

Lin Yan went to the tea room, waited for the water to boil, and waited for a while before coming over with tea leaves and hot water.

Second Master Zhuang was still talking to Mrs. Zhuang, what Second Master Zhuang said, as if he was asking Mrs. Zhuang's opinion, and Old Mrs. Zhuang nodded and said a few more words. The distance was too far, and Lin Yan didn't hear what they said clearly.

When Lin Yan stepped forward with tea, they stopped talking.

Second Master Zhuang drank two cups of tea, and left after a short time.

Lin Yan sent him out, and when she went out, she asked him by the way: "Second cousin, I heard that you want to move out to live?" ”

Second Master Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes, I came to say goodbye to my aunt this time." ”

Lin Yan asked, "Is it not good to live in the Lin family?" ”

Second Master Zhuang hurriedly said: "No, no, it's very good here, both Mrs. Tai and Grandpa Guo are very thoughtful." ”

Lin Yan looked at him with a smile and didn't speak, as if she was waiting for him to say something. And Second Master Zhuang looked at her like this, but he was a little embarrassed to hide it from her again.

Later, I thought about it, this cousin and niece will be the queen in the future, and there are some things that really can't be hidden from her or can't hide from her, so he continued: "The dealer wants to transfer part of the business to the capital, and I will manage the business in the capital." Since this is the case, then I must live in the capital permanently, and it is a little bad to disturb the Lin family like this. I bought a house in Beijing, firstly, to live more comfortably in my own place, and secondly, it was convenient for me to see those stewards in the future. ”

In fact, the Zhuang family was going to transfer part of the business to the capital, or he knew that Lin Yan would become the queen in the future after he went to Beijing, and then wrote back to discuss the decision with the Zhuang family.

The dealer's business has always been in Jiangnan, and it is also one of the merchants in Jiangnan, and it used to be mainly done with the sound of satin, but in recent years, the business of sea ship treasure has started, mainly to transport the dealer's silk to overseas to sell, and then exchange the overseas treasure goods back to Jiangnan to sell.

It is not surprising that the current bookmaker is the richest man in Jiangnan to put it mildly. But no matter how big the family business is, no one will want to go one step closer, and now Lin Yan, the cousin and niece, will become the queen, and the dealer wants to take this as an opportunity to become a tribute merchant in the future.

Lin Yan turned her head and did not speak again. In fact, she had already learned about the banker's plan from Zhuang's mouth before.

For a long time, the royal tribute business has almost been monopolized by the Wu family, the Wu family, you can say that their house is not authentic, but it is indeed rich and rivals the country, and nearly half of the country's money belongs to the Wu family.

When Taizu rose up, other heroes followed Taizu to fight the world and were awarded meritorious titles, but only the Wu family used money to fund Taizu to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom. Therefore, when the dynasty was first established, many other meritorious deeds looked down on the Wu family, and they were ridiculed as "the prince of the copper plate".

However, since the dealer wants to rob the Wu family's business and his father and grandmother have no objections, it means that his father and grandmother have their own plans, and she doesn't have to worry too much.
