In the hall, General Yuan and the general's wife sat at the top, Yuan Yuxin stood on the side, and three young men stood at the bottom.

Yuan Huan Shen is the eldest son in the family, he is twenty years old this year, and he can be regarded as an older unmarried young man, but after all, eight years of war have passed, and although there are not many people like him in the imperial capital, there are also many people.

Yuan Huanchen is the second son, eighteen years old, like the eldest brother, he served in the army at a young age, followed his father Yuan Huanliang to fight in the south and the north, and now he also has a place in the army.

Yuan Huanlang is the youngest son, sixteen years old, different from the two elder brothers, he grew up with his sister Yuan Yuxin in Zhuang's side since he was a child, and the degree of food and clothing should be the best, although he also learned some kung fu but are extremely shallow, his daily activities are to eat, drink, play, fight, fight, gamble, and play with fox friends and dogs.

"You all know what it means to be a father, tell me, who wants to marry this family?" General Yuan stroked his beard and said.

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and then looked at Zhuang's extremely impatient look, or the eldest son Yuan Huan Shen said: "Father, mother, this marriage matter has been the order of the parents since ancient times. ”

Hearing this, Zhuang's face turned slightly pale, and he snorted coldly.

General Yuan frowned and looked at his second son Yuan Huanchen: "What about you?" ”

Yuan Huanchen said: "The meaning of the eldest brother is the meaning of the child. ”

Seeing General Yuan looking at him, Yuan Huanlang smiled and said, "Dad really wants us to marry her back?" With such a great kindness, wouldn't it be necessary to be a bodhisattva when you marry back? ”

"How do you talk, kid?" General Yuanda's eyes widened.

"Haha, that's a good point, isn't it?" The general's wife Yile, "Your father has never been able to see clearly, is such a daughter-in-law marrying back, is she serving her husband and in-laws, or are we serving her?" ”

General Yuan said: "What if you marry back and offer it?" The Yuan family still lacks her food and clothing? Do you need her to take care of it? ”

"Yuan Huanliang, you're going to raise the bar, right?" The general's wife said angrily.

General Yuan said: "Forget it, just marry the gentleman." ”

"No way!" The general's wife refused, "That's the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, how can you let such a girl from a small family be a girl?" After that, what other good girls would like to come into our house? ”

General Yuan said: "Then Chen'er, anyway, the heirloom of my Yuan family is still in the hands of other girls, and it is useless if you are not happy." ”

"You?!" When she mentioned this, the general's wife was angry, "I said are you crazy?" It was not good to give it to someone as a token at the beginning, to a family heirloom? No, you hurry up and find a way to get me back, that's my son's thing!" ”

General Yuan snorted, with a little bit of pride in what you can't help me: "The old man doesn't have the face to beg for help, but when our army ran out of ammunition and food, the Li family brought 200,000 taels of supplies over the mountains and mountains to save them, or, you can find a way to take out 200,000 taels and return them to others today, so that you can also get things back." ”

"I ...... You...... Where can I find 200,000 taels? You're trying to make fun of me, aren't you? The general's wife was so angry that her chest was stuffy, and she covered her chest with a breathless appearance, which frightened the eldest son, the second son and Yuan Yuxin to step forward in a panic, beat her back and pinch her acupoints to ask for warmth.

It was still Yuan Huanlang who stood in place and smiled meaninglessly: "Two hundred thousand? Alright then, I'll go. ”

"What?" The general's wife was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her waist didn't hurt anymore, and her chest didn't feel tight, "No......"

"Good! That's it! General Yuan laughed.

At this time, Lin Mansion.

The living room of the North Courtyard.

After listening to General Yuan's explanation, Old Man Lin and Lin Jingzhi were stunned on the spot.

On the table is the birthday of the youngest son of the Yuan family, next to it is a pile of expensive gifts, if it is sincere, and the general of the Yuan family is in person, it is impossible to be joking, but Old Man Lin and Lin Jingzhi still have a feeling of pie falling from the sky, and they are a little dizzy.

General Yuan said with a smile: "Back then, the old man had an appointment with your lady Li to make a marriage contract for my son and the four girls, and if it is stable today, this marriage should also be on the agenda." ”

"This ......" Lin Jingzhi hesitated.

"Jingzhi, is this the case?" Old Man Lin asked.

"It is true." Lin Jingzhi nodded, "It's just ......"

"Just what?" Old Man Lin and General Yuan asked at the same time.

"Say whatever you want, don't spit out." The most impatient thing for Mr. Lin is that his youngest son always has a somewhat cowering temperament, although this is also due to his lack of attention in the Lin family for many years.

"Brother Lin might as well say it directly, but if there is any request, Brother Fool will do his best to meet it." General Yuan said with a smile.

The lower General Yuan's posture became, the more Lin Jingzhi felt a headache, without him, he had originally told his daughter Wan Xin earlier that he would return the token of the Yuan family to General Yuan, so as not to be suspected of blackmailing Ensuo. Unexpectedly, the things had not been returned, and General Yuan personally mentioned this marriage.

It's just this marriage......

Lin Jingzhi hesitated slightly: "I don't know what the general's wife thinks about this marriage?" ”

General Yuan was stunned, and thought that Lin Jingzhi asked directly about the key, could it be that his inner son had shown something in front of Wan Xin?

Yes, his wife had a fortieth birthday before, and Wan Xin also came to the banquet, and she also had a little trouble with the Lin sisters in the garden, for which his wife complained many times......

General Yuanda's hesitation fell in the eyes of Old Man Lin and Lin Jingzhi's father and son, and the two glanced at each other, and they had a rough idea in their hearts.

Seeing this, General Yuan said with a smile: "The old man is in charge of this matter, Brother Lin doesn't need to worry." ”

Lin Jingzhi paused, and said sincerely: "I'm ashamed, I won't tell you, General Yuan, the subordinate still wants to discuss this matter with his daughter Wan Xin." ”

As soon as these words came out, General Yuan was stunned, and Old Man Lin secretly rolled his eyes, his son is really, really...... How can there be a marriage to discuss with a daughter? What is this system?

But without waiting for Old Man Lin to open his mouth to remedy, General Yuan suddenly smiled: "Haha, good!" It is indeed necessary to discuss with Wan Xin, she is a good girl with opinions, if my son can marry her, it will be a blessing from the third generation. The old man will leave for the time being today, and when Brother Lin has made a decision, he will visit him another day! ”

General Yuan came to the door to ask for a kiss, and in a very short period of time, it reached the ears of the other three rooms of the Lin family.

In this regard, the Dafang couple were extremely surprised, they didn't expect Lin Yunxin to take a shit luck and be favored by General Yuan, but no one expected that the Li family would lay the groundwork eight years ago, and I have to say that they are really far-sighted.

The second lady Jiang was so angry that her eyes were dark, originally in her plan, Lin Yunxin would marry a fourth-grade general like Qin Yanqi at most, how could she fly up to the branches and climb to the house of General Yuan? Lin Suhui was even more jealous and made trouble in the house for a while.

Only the three-room couple thinks this is a good thing, after all, there are second-room concubines who marry from the fourth-rank generals, and now there are fourth-room concubines who marry into the high gate, which is a kind of help for other girls in the Lin family who have not yet come out of the cabinet. After all, this shows that the girl of the Lin family has a good appearance, otherwise she would never be able to get such a good marriage, so it is natural for other girls to find a good husband's family, in the eyes of outsiders.

At this point, Lin Jingren, the lord of the big house, also had the same idea, but this idea made the eldest lady Zhou and her daughter Lin Shuzhen extremely disliked.

"What are you talking about, sir? When does our big house need to rely on the useless four rooms to support the façade? Our Shuzhen is so good, why worry about not finding a good husband, why do you need four girls to make faces? Zhou said unhappily.

Lin Shuzhen also said lightly: "The marriage of the fourth sister has not yet been decided, whether it will be successful or not." ”

"Besides, her identity as the county lord, didn't the master say that she was tired?" Zhou said again.

Lin Jingren opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that he would analyze it casually, and he would make both his wife and daughter unhappy, so he had to smile comfortingly: "That's natural, no matter what our Shuzhen looks like, is first-class in the imperial capital, so naturally we don't have to worry, but the daughters in the second and third rooms are not necessarily." ”

"By the way, I heard that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is going to hold a grand banquet in the imperial capital, and she has been sending invitations to various families recently?" Lin Jingren immediately changed the subject.

"Why? Why can Lin Yunxin, that slut, marry into the mansion of General Yuanda? I don't allow it! I disagree! In the second room of Qifeng Pavilion, Lin Suhui couldn't stop crying, grabbing Jiang's arm, "What should I do?" Mother, I don't want her to marry better than me, why should she, what is better than me? If this continues, then I'm not, then I'm not...... Do you have to be trampled under her feet for the rest of your life? I don't want it! ”

Jiang was comforted by her daughter's quarrel and headache, but her daughter's last words really pierced her heart. The fourth room has always been trampled on the soles of their feet by the second room, and now they want to soar to the sky and climb to a good family, where is there such a cheap thing?

Jiang Shi groaned slightly, and finally his eyes were cold: "Don't worry about my son, my mother will naturally not let you be worse than her." Now it has just begun to propose, and it is far from getting married...... It's still far away...... Who knows what the variables will be? ”

Lin Suhui's eyes lit up: "What do you mean by ......?" ”

"Don't worry, my mother has already taught you that the most important thing in a girl's family is to be calm, when you are a girl at home, and even more so when you are married and a wife and daughter-in-law. You know, you only laugh best when you have the last laugh. Jiang hooked his lips and smiled.

"Well, I listen to my mother! Mother is the best-" Lin Suhui hugged Jiang and coquettishly began.

Jiang said: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been spreading invitations recently, Su Hui, you should also go around." ”

Lin Suhui's heart moved, yes, she also has Brother Junhong, and Mrs. Zhang's family is higher than General Yuan's family. If she can marry Brother Junhong, she will be the daughter-in-law of the eldest son and grandson who has grown up, and her status is much higher than that of Lin Yunxin, the daughter-in-law of the third son of the Yuan family, and she will become a clan wife!

The Lin family had different attitudes towards General Yuan's proposal, and this news was also quickly put on Xu Chunzhi's desk at the first time.
