But thinking of the third sister who is twenty years old and still lives in the harem, he also has to pull down this face!

Lin Zhe has three younger sisters, namely the eldest sister Zhiying born to Aunt Shen, the second sister Zhiyi born to Aunt Lin, and Zhiyu born to the deceased Aunt Bao.

These three younger sisters were not born to Mother Lin, and Mrs. Lin didn't treat them very well when Father Lin was still alive, since Father Lin passed away, she was even more lazy to take care of them after Father Lin passed away, and she didn't care about them on weekdays, so that the sense of existence of these three sisters and those two aunts was extremely weak, and it is estimated that except for those servants and maids, few people still know whether they are dead or alive.

However, the Lin family is a big family, although the three sisters and their mother have a weak sense of existence, the Lin family will never lack their living supply, except for the lack of existence, their lives are still luxurious.

His eldest sister Zhi Ying married Shi Langyi in 1856, which was a very simple political marriage, Shi Langyi at that time was trying to regain Lin Zhe's trust before courting, but it is said that the married life is quite happy, and now has a son.

And the second sister Zhiyi also married in 1858, not the current military and political leaders, but the second son of Jiang Daoquan. Although Jiang Daoquan is conservative and stubborn, smelly and hard, and to be honest, he is not very long, and he looks like a traitor at a glance, but his son is quite good in character, and his talent and knowledge are all first-class, in 1857, he was a senior high school scholar in Enkeli, and now he is a magistrate in a county in Zhejiang after two years in politics.

Last year, when Aunt Lin was at the royal banquet, she had a very happy conversation with Shi Langyi's wife. Then the marriage was made, and the Queen Mother and Mrs. Lin didn't care about them in the first place. Naturally, there is no opinion, and Lin Zhe has no opinion. Although he has a bad personal feeling for Jiang Daoquan, although this person is annoying, but his ability is not yet, it can be seen from Jiang Daoquan's steady sitting on the minister of the Ministry of Education in the past few years that when Lin Zhe appoints military and political officials, he still does not appoint them according to his own preferences. In addition, he has kept Jiang Daoquan because the cabinet also needs some traditional conservative voices, and nothing can be developed in an extreme direction. The current cabinet is full of radical reformers, and even Bi Yutong and this old guy are clamoring for all kinds of reforms every day, and in this case, there is Jiang Daoquan, an old stubborn star, and the balance between conservative and radical forces will not be unbalanced.

But the remaining third sister Zhiyu is more miserable, Mrs. Lin ignores her, and her mother died early, so it is impossible to have a mother to give her Zhang Luo like Zhiyi.

And I have been living in the palace for the past few years, and I am also lonely. Seeing that she is getting older and older year by year, the daughter of an ordinary family has to arrange family affairs at the age of fourteen or fifteen, eighteen years old is a veritable old girl, and twenty years old is an old girl who can't be older.

Although this helpless Zhiyu is just a deep girl. But I also know that if I don't take the initiative, it is estimated that the old lady and her own are only nominal, but the eldest brother who can't see him all year round will be able to completely forget about himself.

So I had the courage to meet Lin Zhe. Of course, the girl's family will definitely not say that she is already twenty years old, and if she waits, she will not be able to get married. just vaguely said that the eldest sister brought her son into the palace a few days ago, how cute and cute the child was.

What kind of person is Lin Zhe? Playing intrigue with the courtiers every day, this is a little bit of a misunderstanding!

He and Mrs. Lin briefly mentioned the marriage of the third sister once, but I have to say that Mrs. Lin is really a little excessive, her mind is now on her grandchildren, and she said that she would look at the arrangement, but there has been no movement in the past few months.

No, when Lin Zhe saw his third sister Zhiyu a few days ago, he could see that the third sister's life was indeed not very good.

Although he really doesn't have any feelings for these three sisters, but in the end, it's their eldest brother, so he can't ignore it!

No, let the secretariat inquire a little, selected a few young people who are suitable for age and are outstanding in all aspects, and then casually found an excuse to hold a small banquet, and then asked his courtiers to bring their sons and nephews, among which there were a few candidates selected by the secretariat.

Then Lin Zhe let his third sister observe those people behind him, and after choosing the one he had, Lin Zhe personally helped her propose.

Zhi Yu later fell in love with Qian Hanlang's younger brother Qian Hanbing!

That Qian Hanlang's younger brother Han Bing and his mother's compatriots are all mixed-race children, the appearance is a combination of Chinese and Western, and it is different from his eldest brother's black eyes, his eyes are still blue-eyed, so handsome It is no wonder that Zhi Yu fell in love with him at a glance, women, most of them like handsome guys!

That's why Lin Zhe personally asked Qian Hanlang to talk about this today!

In the past two lifetimes, it was the first time that Lin Zhe had done such a thing as a matchmaker, Rao was in a high position for a long time, but he still inadvertently showed a trace of embarrassment, but Qian Hanxuan, who was even more shocked in his heart on the other side, didn't see Lin Zhe's embarrassment.

Now that his mind was spinning rapidly, it was obvious that Lin Zhe would not say this for no reason!

Although Qian Hanxuan is wooden and not good at handling interpersonal relationships, he can never say that he is stupid, he just thought about it a little and probably understood why Lin Zhe suddenly asked his younger brother whether he was married or not, it was very obvious that he wanted to marry his third sister to his younger brother.

He has been working under Lin Zhe for several years, and he has a slight understanding of Lin Zhe's temperament, and he knows that Lin Zhe does not care much about daily trivial matters outside of some military affairs in ordinary times, and he will not ask about the private lives of his courtiers.

Similarly, Lin Zhe also very much reluctantly excludes foreign ministers from paying attention to his own household affairs, that is, royal affairs.

Previously, a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said that Li Huifei gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor for the royal family, and she had made great contributions to the country, so she should be established as a concubine or something, but as soon as this excerpt was sent, Lin Zhe personally made instructions on the excerpt: discuss palace affairs in vain!

So the courtier was dismissed the next day!

So everyone understood better that Lin Zhe resolutely did not allow foreign ministers to interfere in the affairs of the inner palace, so many people who planned to send the emperor's eldest son to Empress Chen Jing to raise, or set up Li Huifei as a concubine, all invariably dispelled this idea.

It can be seen that Lin Zhe makes a very obvious distinction between private affairs and state affairs.

However, today, Lin Zhe talked about private matters to his courtiers, and the intention was naturally very obvious.

In the next moment, Qian Hanxuan thought about it again, once his younger brother married the emperor's third sister as his wife, would this be good or bad for his career and his younger brother's career?

You must know that the so-called concubines in history are not so easy to be, and the so-called royal relatives are not so glamorous, on the contrary, these people have always been excluded by the mainstream political forces.

Although the new establishment of the Chinese Empire has not yet clearly excluded the power of foreign relatives and relatives of the emperor and the country, the excessive power of foreign relatives has already caused dissatisfaction among many senior officials in the military and cabinet.

But Qian Hanxuan knows better, no matter how he thinks about it, but in the face of Lin Zhe's question today, he has only one answer:

"Back to the emperor, Weichen's younger brother is not married yet!"

The next thing is very natural, Lin Zhe didn't say anything about whether he still had a third sister or anything like that, but casually said a few homely words, and Qian Hanxuan just said goodbye and left.

Three days later, under Lin Zhe's personal arrangement, the royal family held another garden party, but this time the organizer was not the Queen Mother or Lin Zhe, but by the Empress Chen Jing, and invited the families of military and political dignitaries in Beijing to participate.

And this time, Lin Zhe didn't go to the dinner intentionally or unintentionally, and those military and political dignitaries consciously wouldn't go there in person after hearing that the emperor would not attend, otherwise a group of old men and men would have watched the dinner.

It is the hostess of each family who goes, and then bring the school-age children to participate!

In general, it has the feeling of a blind date meeting in later generations!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Zhiyu officially met Qian Hanbing, of course, these two people knew in advance before they went that this so-called garden party was actually specially held for their official meeting.

Although Qian Hanbing didn't know why he was favored by the royal family, he heard that the eldest brother said that the emperor Lin Zhe personally talked about it, although he felt strange in his heart, but he was not a pedantic person, so he did not resist or refuse.

Although Qian Hanbing himself is not engaged in politics, but in business, he opened a foreign store in Nanjing, specializing in selling all kinds of imported foreign goods or all kinds of domestic fresh industrial products, but he still has a political vision, he knows very well that his family has no confidence to refuse the royal family's proposal, the Qian family as an upstart in the Chinese Empire, the pillar of the whole family is based on the eldest brother Qian Hanxuan, once he refuses this family affair, His Majesty's Shengming may not say anything, but it will leave a thorn in His Majesty's heart, In the long run, it will definitely have a negative impact on the eldest brother Qian Hanxuan's holy family.

Since he couldn't refuse, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this family affair in his heart, Qian Hanbing happily accepted this blind date arrangement.

When he saw Lin Zhiyu, Qian Hanbing still felt quite satisfied, the third sister of the emperor looked more gentle, and her voice was soft.

After these two young people met, the next step was to officially enter the procedure of proposing marriage, Qian Hanxuan chose an auspicious day of the zodiac a few days later, and asked Prime Minister Bi Yu to go to the royal family as a matchmaker to propose marriage, and the royal family, including Chen Jing, Mrs. Lin and others, all knew about it, they didn't care much about Lin Zhiyu, so naturally there was no reason to object.
