Chapter 175: Buying an Official

On the 2th of September, the Lin family was very lively, and the chefs of several Xianhua Buildings who were invited at a high price were even more busy like spinning tops.

Wen Wan sat in front of the mirror, and the three or four mothers-in-law were hurriedly dressing up on themselves, and from time to time they stuffed a warm fried bun into their mouths, which were fragrant and crispy.

The gate slowly opens as the sun rises, and guests from all over pour into the mansion with generous gifts.

It's just that when entering the door, the steward who respectfully stands at the door of Lin's house to welcome the guest will introduce different thresholds to the guest according to the thickness of the gift money.

Those who are polite will go through the front door, but those who are thin will have to go through the side door, and those who are thinner will not be allowed to enter.

As for how much is polite and how much is polite, I'm sorry, only the steward of the Lin family knows. Therefore, a group of guests with strong financial resources were afraid that they would accidentally leave the side door and not be able to get on and off the stage, so they had to take out another silver ticket just in case.

Those with average financial resources didn't want to go through the side door dwarf, so they had to let the family who followed them go home quickly to get a silver ticket for emergency.

In order to avoid the popular gossip in the capital, he had to turn around ruthlessly and take all his belongings to get a chance to become famous.

After all, the invitations of the Lin family have always only been sent to the powerful and wealthy gentry in Beijing, and those who can attend the Lin family's banquet are not ordinary people.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Wen Fusheng and his ilk's related households, such as Cao Jingzhong and his ilk, who can pinch the Lin family's dignitaries to death.

In a word, it is that the dog's eyes look down on people, phew!

The courtyard of the Lin family is not large, but every flower, grass, table and chair all show wealth. Regardless of the guests, as long as they can enter the door of the Lin family's courtyard, there will be servants who will come forward and respectfully hand over warm towels and pleasant aromatic tea.

All kinds of exquisite dim sum, food, and wine are all over the courtyard, and those who are interested will know that it is the new product and signboard of Xianhua Building, the first restaurant in Beijing.

The wealthy businessmen who were able to enter the door saw the crowd of people who came and went to talk happily, pinched the exquisite refreshments, and suddenly felt that the trip was in vain.

The surrounding greetings were lively, enthusiastic people assessed each other's values, and the businessmen who talked to the officials were secretly excited.

Indeed, in a situation where everyone's every move is in the eyes of the emperor, a fair party has a much greater chance of being able to do so than they bother, and it is much safer.

The female dependents do not have as many twists and turns as the men, and they have long been taken to the flower hall by the maidservants to chat about clothes and jewelry, and the parents are short.

They only need to be dignified and able to talk well, and if the children are more competitive, they can fully bring out the excellence of their husbands.

It was almost noon, and there were only a few busy maids inside and outside the flower hall who laid out a bright red and dazzling corridor. All the women were silent and looked at the end of the corridor.

Several beautiful maids are around the sides, surrounded by the radiant gentleness, she is full of gold and silver jasper hairpins and pearls, dressed in gold silk butterflies wearing flowers and red robes, which is an autumn fragrant begonia gown with the same color sprinkled flower long skirt, the jewelry around the body is tinkling, the color embroidery is brilliant, like a fairy concubine.

Wen Wan's beautiful or noble outfit has undoubtedly become the focus of all women.

The collars around the necks that gradually thickened and expanded, the bracelets on the arms that went from thick to thin, and the thousands of handkerchiefs that were priceless all made the women's hearts beat faster and their eyes lit up. High-profile luxury has connotation, bright and dazzling without market, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy.

No one criticized her for being vulgar, because behind the vulgarity was the high cost that no one could afford, and it was the pursuit that every woman dreamed of. The bright outfit stabbed them so much that they couldn't open their eyes.

Wen Wan smiled and walked to the middle of the flower hall, the petals on her forehead were gorgeous and dazzling, she just wanted everyone to know that she loved money, and she needed enough money to please her.

"Thank you for participating in the family's birthday banquet in your busy schedule, but it's a pity that the little girl can't come out to greet you because of the cold, please don't blame you." Her daughter is as meatless and unhappy as her, and she eats too much xiaolongbao in the early morning.

This time, the women came prepared: "It's okay, it's okay, let her rest well, her body is important." I have a good Ganoderma lucidum here to replenish the body. ”

"I have an ice seed old jade pendant here to relieve her children's boredom."

The new female relatives who had just joined the upper-class women's group were puzzled, and couldn't help muttering: "Isn't it just an imperial businessman?" As for you slapping her like this? I looked at her as an upstart, nothing! ”

The woman next to her covered her lips and sneered: "It's nothing great, aren't you here too?" Lin Dangjia is now the fourth master of Donglin Hall, His Majesty also rewarded him with the position of pawn, her brother-in-law is the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, her son is a famous upstart general, and she herself often goes to the palace to visit the queen, and now the favored Xiangfei Niangniang also has many rewards. You say, what's so great about her? ”

Even if you don't talk about this, just because the fragrant concubine is a branch that flew from the Lin family, it is enough for her to be crazy.

People want money and money, they want to have a relationship, and they have the blue eyes of the queen's mother, and they are walking sideways in this capital, so they might as well do nothing.

Wen Wan sat on the main seat and only smiled slightly, greeting the same familiar and unfamiliar not far away. Look at these untouchable ladies, who both look down on her and have to flatter her and please her. Wealth and power are such an interesting thing that can make the proud bow their noble heads.

When she was fiddling with her nails, the voice of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers came into her ears: "So what, it's just stepping on dog shit and gaining momentum, I see how high I climb now, how bad I will fall in the future!" Suddenly, the mother-in-law's birthday banquet and the child's birthday are not just clever names to make money? Hehe, is the monkey in the countryside a man wearing a man's clothes? ”

?? Zhang Xiaowan's ferocity is well-known in the village, and no one dares to provoke the Zhang family, but there are also a few families who have gotten along with the Zhang family, Zhu Datian's family, and Uncle Hong at the entrance of the village, all have a good relationship with the Zhang family.

This year, under Zhu Datian's teaching, Zhang Xiaowan's hunting skills are good, plus she has practiced her strength, which is not worse than that of ordinary men, and in the second half of the year, she can already enter the mountain alone.

After the winter of the new year, Zhang Xiaowan is also eleven years old, and Liu Erlang in the distance has no news since the first letter, and after a long time, Liu Sanniang forgot Liu Erlang as if she forgot her only brother many years ago, except that the people in the village sometimes occasionally take her brother who is an official to come out to talk about things, Liu Erlang, the uproar that caused in Zhang's house, has no trace.

Liu Sanniang has never told Zhang Xiaowan about the family affair that can make people turn sparrows into phoenixes, like resigned to fate.
