All developments were as Dai Tianchou expected.

Lin Wenzhen returned home, saying that she had gone out this time, and heard the news of the East 'Gate' celebration at a friend's place, and rushed to Shuangyu despite the danger of 'waves', and sure enough, she saw her nephew there.

When the East Gate celebrated the 'private' concubine, Lin Xiyuan was very angry, but after so long, people also calmed down, and often worried about this smart and considerate grandson, and then suddenly heard his news was very happy, and after reading the letter submitted by Lin Wenzhen, he was even more moved, and felt that his grandson was actually a good young man with pure nature, and he was just a concubine of the enchantress, and now the 'prodigal' son turned back and forgave him in his heart, and immediately sent someone to find the 'daughter' The son-in-law, firstly, told them the news of the East 'Gate' celebration, and secondly, he expressed his intention to mediate, saying: "After all, the children's family is ignorant, they have been so long, and they have suffered so much outside, forget it!" ”

With his words, what else can the East 'Gate' bully say? As for Mrs. Lin, she is looking forward to her son's return every day.

Lin Wenzhen talked about the marriage with the Xie family again, Lin Xiyuan was overjoyed, and strongly agreed with this 'door' family matter, and the east 'gate' bully heard that his son actually climbed the Xie family, and while feeling surprised, he felt that the east 'gate' Qing really returned to the right track from nonsense, and began to talk like that, so naturally he did not object.

Marriage with the Xie family is not a trivial matter, so both the Lin family and the Xie family sent capable members to help. The East 'Gate' family sent the East 'Gate' degree, and Lin Xiyuan on the Lin family's side didn't have much hope for Lin Wenzhen's son, but seeing that he had made a meritorious contribution this time and was one of the promoters of the incident, he agreed to let him go.

This time, Lin Wenzhen went to Fujian, with Li Chengtai by his side, and reported back as soon as there was news here, so when the East 'Gate' and Lin Wenzhen were still preparing for the next appointment in Quanzhou, the East 'Gate' Qing already knew that the matter was done, so he called Yang Zhizhong, Yu Buci, and Anthony to tell them about this happy event. These are all related to Qinghuaxiang's finances, seeing that the east 'door' Qing does not call others to come but calls them, in addition to congratulating, he knows that the head of the house is going to 'spend' money again.

Yu Buzhi didn't want to celebrate whether he was married, but said: "The head of the family, how do you 'spend' money for this wedding, I don't want to talk much." After all, I'm just the chief of commerce, not your household secretary, and I can't control your money. But when you have to buy raw silk in two months and you don't have enough money, don't let me think of a way - I'll tell you straight now, I can't help it! ”

In fact, there are a lot of places to 'spend' money after returning to China, and even if you don't 'spend' on other things, the rest of the money is not enough to buy enough goods booked by the Japanese side.

Dong 'Gate' Qing also knew that what he said was the truth, and asked them to come up with a way, but these people were all practical, their thinking was on the right path, and they were not very good at moving the 'door' brain, so he had to go to Dai Tianchou to discuss.

Dai Tianchou heard this: "I have already prepared the expenses for the wedding, what are you going to do with them?" ”

The East Gate Qing couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it, although Dai Tianchou came and won the trust of the East Gate Qing, that is, Yang Zhizhong, Yu Buci, Li Rongjiu and others also respected him more and more, but the East Gate Qing several times slightly "dewed" when he wanted to invite him to serve in the important position of Qing Huaxiang, he was very indifferent, and seemed to only want to be an idle guest, and the East "Gate" Qing was up to him, because Dai Tianchou neither grasped the power nor the money, and then encountered the matter of "spending" the money Men'qing naturally went to find Yu Buci and waited first, but he didn't expect Dai Tianchou to say that he had already prepared the cost of the wedding! I was surprised and delighted in my heart, and I was busy asking.

Dai Tianchou smiled and said: "You, go to Wang Wufeng and tell him that you want to get married, and then cry poor, and then the money will be in hand." ”

At this time, there was no need to say anything between the two of them, Dongmen' Qing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he ran to see Wang Zhi that day, and when he entered the 'door', the whole person put on a look of grievance, Wang Zhi was very strange when he saw it, he knew that this two-headed carp was not like this on weekdays, and this would pretend to be like this mostly to calculate himself, be vigilant in his heart, and ask him what happened.

"Uncle! I'm getting married! "East 'Gate' Qing said.

Wang Zhi sighed and said, "Really? That's a good thing! ”

In fact, Dongmenqing already has a matter of Zhang Yue'e, he knows, during this period of time, Xie Min learned about Shuangyu, he also knows, Dongmenqing is striving to be the Xie family's 'son-in-law', he also guessed it, he is an informal person, and this matter is completely considered from the perspective of political interests and commercial interests: let Dongmenqing wash his feet ashore, as a representative of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, enter Shilin to strive for the opening of the sea - this is originally the expectation of these bigwigs for the Dongmen' celebration. It's a pity that for a period of time, the East 'Gate' celebration lived up to their expectations, and when Dai Tianchou ran to the side of the East 'Gate' Qing, everything returned to the right track they expected, and it was precisely because of this that the resistance that was originally set up in the secret everywhere for the East 'Gate' celebration became the protection net of the East 'Gate' celebration.

If Dongmenqing can become the 'daughter-in-law' of the Xie family, then this marriage will not only be the marriage of the Lin family in Fujian and the Xie family in Zhejiang, but also an opportunity for the merchants of the East China Sea and the southeast Shilin to be combined! There is such a general trend, of course Wang Zhi is in favor of this marriage, as for the fact that Dongmen Qingben already has a wife, he completely ignores it - compared with the group interests of the 100,000 Chinese businessmen in the entire East China Sea, not to mention one Zhang Yue, even a hundred Zhang Yue'e will be treated as nothing!

"But ......" Wang Zhi looked at the wilted appearance of Dongmenqing and said, "Why don't you look like you're going to be a groom, but like you're going to the execution ground?" ”

As soon as Dongmen Qing heard this, he howled, and cried like a mourner: "Uncle! I'm so miserable now that I'm going to the execution ground! ”

Wang Zhi was surprised: "What? Is Miss Xie a dominatrix? Alas, Qingguan, marry a wife and ask for a lady', don't worry too much about appearance. ”

"No, it's not." The east 'gate' celebrated: "Miss Xie's appearance, I secretly looked at it twice, and I don't know how to describe it!" The nephew has read a lot of people, but he has never seen such a beautiful face as Miss Xie. ”

Wang Zhidao: "Could it be that she has a strange temper and is annoying?" ”

"Not really." East 'Gate' Qing Chang sighed: "Miss Xie was born under the name 'Gate', treats people and things, is dignified and polite, words and deeds, gentle and virtuous. I can marry her, that's a blessing from nine lifetimes! ”

Wang Zhiqi said: "Since this is the case, then why are you crying?" ”

Dong Men' Qing cried: "It's because she is so good and from a wealthy 'family' that I can't wronged her!" Whether it's a marriage proposal or a hiring, if you don't make it beautiful, not only will I not be happy in my heart, but the Xie family will not agree! Maybe a match made in heaven will blow like this! Obviously, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, but the hero just let the copper smell trip, think about it, if you can't reconcile with Miss Xie because of lack of money, uncle, do you think I can not be sad? ”

Wang Zhi laughed when he heard half of it, and waited for Dongmenqing to finish speaking before scolding: "You lazy! If you don't have money, you don't have money, just say no? What to cry about! ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "My nephew has no ability, so I have to cry." ”

Wang Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry! Just be happy and get married, and everyone will help you find a way to do it. A few days ago, I was discussing with the leader, saying that if Qingguan can be the 'daughter-in-law' of the Xie family, we will have 17 directors, and each of us will give you a heavy gift for you to be hired. You are our son of the East China Sea, go to marry the 'daughter' of Shilin, you must always make you beautiful, let those old men know what it means to be really rich! Xu Longtou also promised to call on all merchants in Shuangyu to "deliver" all the goods from the beginning of this year's 'spring' to your marriage, and 'draw' one or two for every thousand taels as your gift money, so as not to make you a poor 'daughter' in law and lose the face of our East China Sea! ”

Dong'men Keiichi was stunned - this time he was really stunned!

He originally only wanted to borrow a little money for the next marriage, so as not to cause Qing Huaxiang to fall into a financial crisis because of this wedding, but he didn't expect to cry poor and cry such a result! According to Wang Zhi's statement, then he not only doesn't have to 'spend' a penny to get married this time, but he can even make a lot of money! In this year, the total 'exchange' amount of Shuangyu reached the highest level in history, and as for how big this 'exchange' amount is, Dong'men Qinglian can't even estimate it!

Suddenly, he deeply realized the power of Dai Tianchou's "Lu Hai Ce"! When Dai Tianchou told him about Lu Haice that day, it was just a 'tempting' mansion in the air, but now it has begun to be implemented, and even the money has been seen!

Thinking of Lu Haice, Dongmenqing was not proud of getting such a large amount of money, but became extremely dignified - the bumpy experience after going to sea has made him engrave a law into his bone marrow: pay is proportional to income, responsibility is proportional to return! The merchants of the East China Sea will not send him money for no reason, they are willing to pay for it at the moment, because they want to get a corresponding reward from the East Gate! Where is the money promised by Wang Zhi as a "gift money", it is clearly a fund! If Dongmenqing can gradually fulfill their expectations, then they will continue to send him money, but if Dongmenqing takes the money and can't do it, the consequences are unpredictable.

Only 12 of the 17 members of the board of directors were in Shuangyu at the moment, and the first of them was Li Guangtou, who presented a brand new wedding boat, decorated like a palace on the water, and equipped with 36 "fine" sailors to drive it.

The second gift was Xu Weixue, but he gave four horses from the Western Regions, a European-style four-wheeled carriage, and two coachmen who had been trained by Franco, four 'serving' boys, and four 'serving' maids.

The third gift-giver was Lin Bichuan, but he gave five embroidered multicolored satin gold dragon robes, twelve embroidered multicolored satin python robes, five embroidered multicolored yarn python robes, fifteen golden dragon coats woven with colorful satin, five embroidered colorful yarn dragon robes, a number of pieces of gold, python satin, large and small rolls of flash satin, etc., as well as gold-inlaid powder boxes, inlaid silver spittoons, etc., a total of seventy-two pieces, such as dragon robe material colored satin, etc., are royal forbidden, I don't know how Lin Bichuan got it!

The East 'Gate' Qing saw that these things were obviously not purchased in a hurry, but were clearly prepared after a calculation of time! I was secretly surprised.

In addition, Fang Tingzhu, Xie He, Ye Zongman, Wang Wei, Wang Qingxi, Xu Yuanliang, etc. each have gifts, which cannot be repeated one by one. Among all the gifts, the gifts given by Xu Dong and Wang Zhihe are the most special - they are all calligraphy and paintings.

When the East 'Gate' Qing took a closer look, most of them didn't know the mystery, but Dai Tianchou said: "Qingguan, this gift is heavy!" Even if Xie Yan still has a little hesitation about this 'door' family matter, when he sees this batch of things, he has to agree. ”

These things of the Xie family were all lost by Pereira during the night when he burned Dafang Bodi, and then somehow fell into the hands of Wang Zhi, and at this moment they were transferred to Dongmenqing as a dowry for him to go to Yuyao for his appointment.

The first of these paintings and calligraphy is a copy of "Minglun Canon". "Minglun Canon" is a big book compiled by President Xie Qian, is one of Xie Qian's important achievements in the phase, after compilation, when today's Emperor Jiajing personally awarded a treasure with the Xie family, is the treasure of the Xie family! If the Xie family loses this treasure, they will have the reputation of disloyalty.

The second is the ten volumes of Xie Qian's anthology "Manuscript for Returning to the Fields" and the two volumes of the manuscript of "Hushan Singing and Poems".

The third piece is the "Li Xiya Hanmo Handscroll" by Li Dongyang, the old cabinet elder, Li Dongyang is not only a contemporary master, but also a friend and colleague of Xie Qian. Once there is a mistake, it is a big faux pas!

Further down is the Xie family's treasures, such as Mi Fu's "landscape scroll", etc., are priceless treasures.

Dongmenqing listened to Dai Tianchou tell the origin of these treasures one by one, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, feeling that what he had done in these days looked like a beautiful scene, but in fact, he was being '' by a force behind him, and he couldn't help but be secretly afraid when he thought of it.

Soon Lin Wenzhen and the East 'Gate' arrived, and the East 'Gate' celebrated his joy when he saw that the second brother who took the most care of him came. Although the East Gate Qing family is rich in Quanzhou, it can still be a few years ago, but today it can no longer dictate to everyone at sea. It is the dowry held by the East 'Gate' family in Quanzhou, in addition to the twelve things that must be prepared by the man's own person, the others are put together with the heavy gifts given by the maritime merchants, which are like pearls and rubble, most of them cannot be used!

Even in these details, it can also be seen that the rapid rise of maritime power, in just a few years, they have been controlled by the government and county officials, the officers and soldiers of the guard to the use of money to 'manipulate' the officials, buy the officers and soldiers, so that the southeast coast, the officials have become the eyes and ears of the maritime merchants, and the military households are happy to be the brothers and sisters of the maritime merchants!

Next, will Shilin also be controlled by the money of the maritime merchants? Will they be willingly controlled?

Looking at these dowry gifts, Dongmen' Qing found that his understanding of the situation of the forbidden sea had deepened!
