"Brother Geng, congratulations, congratulations! Yulan's niece's marriage has finally been decided, and His Majesty Tian's grace has been crowned the county lord, and in the future, the old man, I will have to go first when I see your daughter. Lin Jian lifted a wine jug, took two teacups and staggered towards Geng Zhi, talking as he walked.

"Brother Lin, the words there. Lin Xuan is young and promising, but it really makes Geng envious to death. Geng Zhi also said with a smile.

"Uncle Lin came to joke about Yulan again, you are an elder, I am a junior, no matter what time it should be your niece to greet you, don't you want to break my little girl!" Geng Yulan also said with a smile, and politely gave Lin Jian a standard junior salute.

"Tut, Brother Geng, the three daughters in the family are so well-behaved and sensible, you can enjoy Qingfu for the rest of your life! Unlike our family, except for the eldest Lin Xuan, who is a little promising, his younger brothers know every day that they are idle and do not do their jobs, and the foundation of my old Lin family will be destroyed sooner or later in the hands of those little beasts!" Lin Jian listened to Geng Zhi's words, and then he also answered.

The Geng family has 3,000 gold, and each of them is as beautiful as a flower, and it is simply as famous as its name! It is even more beautiful and wise, and that virtuous lady is famous in Kyoto, and several royal banquets have made His Majesty praise the three daughters of the Geng family, not only for their outstanding appearance, but also for their talent and morality.

And their Lin family, there are three sons, the eldest son Lin Xuan, who does not like the career and is dedicated to business, which can be regarded as a small success, and can also be regarded as a "leading firm" among the many imperial merchants, he can participate in any business, and the taxes paid for the state every year are even more amazing! Lin Jian also became a little more decent in front of His Majesty, and he also let his eldest son go to the sea to do business, and did not force him to join the government.

But the second son and the third son of their family are not good, they are idle all day long, they don't want to make progress, they don't want to pursue a career, and they don't want to make a living on their own. Relying on the fact that his father is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and his brother is the largest imperial merchant in Kyoto and even in the whole world, he has escaped from the two "stubborn children", and he is nostalgic for the place where the green building is hooked all day long, and occasionally makes some obscene songs on the flower boat, and lives in fear...

However, Lin Jian was also held hostage by several "wives and concubines" in the family, and the two younger sons had the "special care" of their little mother, and he Lin Jian just had nothing to do with those two "evil animals"... And whenever he mentioned this matter to his eldest son Lin Xuan, his eldest son Lin Xuan always promised that he didn't see any action, and he should be "bored" with his two younger brothers, anyway, he had money, and spending 1,800 taels of silver on his younger brother was nothing to him...

"The eldest daughter can't help her mother, and the eldest son can't help her father! Brother Lin, let them toss the junior's affairs by themselves, haha, let's drink it openly today!" Geng looked at Lin Jian, obviously "the drunkard doesn't mean to drink"! His second daughter Geng Fengxian and his eldest son Lin Xuan, he actually heard about it.

The reason why he doesn't have a clear attitude now, one is that "the eldest sister is not married, and if the second daughter agrees to marry first, it will be too wronged Yulan!" The second one is, "If there is only one son in their family, Lin Xuan, this is also a good family matter, but the bad thing is that there are two "uncompetitive losers" in his family! The Lin family's family industry is big, but Geng Zhi can see it very clearly, Lin Xuan can have the current scenery, and his father, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, has made a lot of efforts for him! If it weren't for this, how could he, a young man, have a smooth ride in the mall, and he has also become the emperor, and the profits are amazing!" This is why he is still very hesitant.

"Yes, yes, Brother Geng, drink and drink, I have taken all the wine cups, if the second prince doesn't need Brother Geng to accompany him, why don't Brother Geng come to me and have a few drinks with me first?" Lin Jian looked at Geng Zhi and shook the two empty wine glasses in his hand at him. The meaning is obvious, "I want to drink with you, it's better to sit down with me." ”

"Since Brother Lin invited him, and it was such a happy day, how could Geng refuse. Geng Zhi patted Lin Jian's shoulder and said. In fact, his second daughter Geng Fengxian has also reached the age to be married, and now that the marriage between Yulan and Pian Min has been decided, he naturally has to pay more attention to his "second girl"!

"Yulan, mercy people, in a while, the two of you will pay a few more glasses to the second prince for your father. Geng Zhi looked at the two "children" behind him, and he was also very pleased, especially when he saw Wang Lianmin, he was even more happy in his heart, "Because their Geng family finally "added" a "man"!"

"Yes, father. Geng Yulan listened to her father's upright words, especially when she saw Wang Lianmin's "affectionate" eyes, she blushed all of a sudden, and hummed softly.

"Yes, father-in-law!" Wang Lianmin was obviously overjoyed when he heard Geng Zhi's words, and quickly changed his words. "Until this moment, there is no more obstacle between him and his beloved girl!"

Geng Zhi was already hearty, but he was even happier at this time, and he put it on Lin Jian's shoulder and said. "Hahaha! Okay, Brother Lin, let's go!"

"Come, Brother Geng, I have to fight you for three hundred rounds today, and if I don't drink all the wine in your Geng Mansion, I will not give up!" Lin Jian was well-known in the court for being able to drink, and at this time, he also said cruel words to the lord of Geng's mansion.

"Yo, Brother Lin, then let's try to see if your belly is big, or if my Geng's wine cellar is deep! If you can't find your way back tonight, you'll be there tomorrow."

The lady came to the door, and I blamed me for not knowing!" Geng Zhi obviously knows more about Lin Jian's family situation, and his biggest weakness in Lin Jian is the "ladies" in his house, all of whom are greedy and clingy!

Lin Jian listened to Geng Zhi's obviously "mocking" words, and he laughed and said, "Hey, Brother Geng, you scare me with my lady! You are too unauthentic! If you don't drink up the wine cellar of your Geng Mansion today, Lin will really not leave!"

"Haha, come on!" At this time, Lin Jian and Geng Zhi had already sat down, one of them had a cup, without giving in, the two of them drank ten cups, Geng Zhi was already a little dazed, but Lin Jian had just arrived!

Although Geng Zhi said that the amount of wine was not bad, but he was a little overwhelmed by such a rapid drink, but he didn't want to be soft with his little temper, so he found a gap to pour wine, and he asked with a smile, "Brother Lin, did you really ask me to come here just to drink?"

After Geng Zhi finished speaking, he swayed past Lin Jian's clinking glasses, but looked at Lin Jian meaningfully.

Lin Jian was also stunned when he listened to Geng Zhi's words, obviously he was happy to drink, and he almost forgot the real purpose of calling Geng Zhi here...

Geng Zhi saw Lin Jian stunned for a moment, thinking that the goal should be achieved, he reached over, clinked glasses with the wine glass in Lin Jian's hand again, and then raised the wine glass in his hand, signaling Lin Jian to "Keep drinking, don't stop!" Then, Geng Zhi drank the wine in the cup with a bit of stubborn pride.

Lin Jian looked at Geng Zhi and reached out to pour the wine again, and he quickly stopped Geng Zhi's hand. He hurriedly drank the wine in the glass, put the wine glass on the table, and then said slowly, "Brother Geng, I won't detour you, you should also know my intention for calling you here!"

"Oh, Brother Lin, it's better to be blunt about something, lest I make a mistake and do the wrong thing, and then I'm afraid it won't be as simple as emptying my family's wine cellar, I'm afraid that you will have to bring dozens of officials from your Ministry of Industry to overthrow my Geng Mansion." Geng Zhi said with a smile, and pointed at the dozens of "Ministry of Industry" officials on the table and said jokingly.

"Two adults, you are chatting with each other, but don't lead to the lower officials, although it is a joke, but the two adults are good, consider our mental capacity. We just have to bury our heads in eating and drinking, and we won't talk much else!" Sun Shilang, who was sitting on the other side of Lin Jian, obviously knew more than the few officials present, and he also said with a smile at this time.

In fact, his words were just a wake-up call for several other officials! Obviously, everyone understood, and they really began to "bury their heads in eating!"

"Brother Geng, Lin will not go around the bend and go around in circles. To put it simply, just in one sentence, I want to talk about a family affair for my son, in your Geng family, what do you think?" Lin Jianfu said with the wine glass in his hand, obviously he said a little "lost his identity" by saying this, but today's time is "a good time!" At least, "If it is according to the first-come, first-served rule, how can their family be counted as the "first-come" to propose marriage. ”

"Brother Lin, you have three sons, I have three daughters, this family business, we have to talk about it well!" Geng Zhi also said happily. The tone of his sentence was different, and everyone in the audience could more or less understand it, and Lin Jian was even clearer!

"The three sons of their Lin family, mean, except for the eldest Lin Xuan, who is not bad, the other two can't be seen at all! And the three daughters of their Geng family, all of them are of extraordinary character, and the eldest daughter Yulan not only found a good family affair of "glorious lintel", but was also given the title of "Affinity County Lord" by His Majesty. The two younger sisters of the "affinity county lord", although they are not as good as the county lord, are the daughters of their Geng family, and the county lord is the elder sister, and the status is unnatural!"

"Said it well, and even implied that if the marriage can be decided, then the matter of etiquette and employment must also be studied carefully, the grade is low, and their Geng family seems to "can't afford to lose" this person!"

"Harm, Brother Geng, you and I are each in charge, living together, you can rest assured, if your second daughter Fengxian can look down on my Xuan'er, this courtesy is said, there must be a "national ceremony" style, and Brother Geng is relieved, when my son Lin Xuan officially marries, he also has his own career, and he will share the house with my family, this high-rise compound in Kyoto, let Fengxian niece choose, as long as the niece likes, my Lin family will be satisfied, and prepare a new "wedding room" for the two of them, what does Brother Geng think?" Lin Jian didn't have a temper at this time, everything was for his children, and he also knew that the two youngest sons of his family didn't have a "good reputation" in Kyoto...

Geng Zhi listened to Lin Jian's words, and his heart was quite satisfied, he knew, "His daughter Fengxian actually likes Lin Xuan, but the "dregs" in their Lin family's mansion is really a headache." Let's not talk about how "delicate" Lin Jian's ladies are, that is, his two youngest sons, who will be honest and upright, are a little "disgusted"... If his daughter marries, Lin Xuan can divide the house, and his daughter doesn't have to participate in the tedious affairs of that family, which is also a good thing. If his daughter really falls in love with Lin Xuan, there is no reason why he will not be a perfect child..."

"Brother Lin has said this, then call my nephew to come to the mansion another day to sit and see if my nephew can take a fancy to my little Geng Mansion!"

Idea, this matter, let's let the "phoenix" make up his own mind! Inviting Lin Xuan to be a guest is also to see the attitude of "his daughter phoenix".

"Haha, okay! Then Brother Geng's matter is settled!" Lin Jian slapped the table with a smile and said happily.

"Eh, Brother Lin, this is all a junior business, so let the children in our family have a good understanding before making a decision. Let my nephew come to the house to sit down first, and then we will find time to discuss the rest of the matter?" Geng Zhi obviously didn't like to discuss this topic with Lin Jian, he filled himself and Lin Jian with wine glasses, and handed the wine glass to Lin Jian's eyes.

"Haha, okay! Let the children understand first!" Lin Jian looked at Geng's upright posture and didn't say anything more, after all, the two of them are here, "This marriage, after all, still has to be willing for you!"

Lin Jianyi raised his hand and toasted Geng Zhi. The two looked at each other and smiled, then drank.

Geng Zhi saw that Lin Jian had finished speaking, he didn't want to drink with Lin Jian anymore, so he got up and was about to leave.

Lin Jian saw Geng Zhi get up and wanted to leave, so he grabbed Geng Zhi and said as if he was drunk, "Brother Geng, I was in a hurry just now, and now I want to go to make it easier, I wonder if Brother Geng can take a few steps to lead the way?"

Geng Zhi looked at Lin Jian's appearance, thinking that with his amount of alcohol, it shouldn't be like this, but he still smiled and agreed. "Okay, Brother Lin, it just so happens that Geng also wants to go to the convenience and convenience, so let's go together." ”

Dozens of people working in the Ministry of Labor, listening to the two Shangshu, kept saying things like "convenient and convenient" at the dinner table, but no one said anything. They all know very well, "It's not really convenient for them to go together..."

After Geng Zhi and Lin Jian left, everyone in the Ministry of Industry looked at Sun Shilang!

"Old Sun, what do you think about this?" someone asked.

"Harm, how can you see it, we can't get involved in this matter, it's all Master Shangshu's family matter!" Sun Shilang put a chopstick rabbit meat into his mouth, and said while eating, extremely casual.

"Old Sun, it's no fun to pretend to be confused!" said the other man, who also took a piece of rabbit meat.

"Come on, come on, everybody drink, everybody drink. Sun Shilang looked at the eyes of other colleagues, he didn't have the slightest fear, and even raised his wine glass and invited everyone to drink.

"Old Sun, today the second prince personally announced the decree, the meaning is obvious. Lord Lin is still going to marry Lord Geng, this is going to...", another bold and serious analysis.

"Ahem, ahem!" the man said, and everyone coughed in agreement.

"Mmmmmmmm

"Yes, yes, drink and drink! Didn't you hear Lord Lin say just now that you want to empty the wine cellar of Lord Geng's house?

The bold man just now was stopped by everyone, and after a while, he was afraid, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal around, he quickly picked up his wine glass and said, "Well, yes, drink, come and do it!"

At this time, Lin Jian pulled Geng Zhi all the way and found a remote flower bush, and Lin Jian pulled Geng Zhi in! With trees as cover, they could speak more comfortably.

"Lord Lin, what are you doing here. If the people in the mansion see it, it will inevitably be a joke!" Geng looked at Lin Jian's appearance, and he wanted to remind Lin Jian, "This is his house, this is Geng's mansion, he is the lord of Geng's mansion... Even if you want to whisper, you won't be so sneaky!"

"Brother Geng, today's events are not trivial. What are your plans for the future?" Lin Jian looked around and found that there was no one nearby, so he said softly.

"Oh, what are you going to do, Brother Lin, you might as well say what you want to say. Geng Zhi looked at Lin Jian's sneaky appearance, it can be said that as soon as he took off his pants, Geng Zhi knew what kind of fart he was going to fart.

"Brother Geng, there were a lot of people just now, I don't want to say much, I'll give you a clue here! If the family relationship between our two families can be successful, I will not separate each other from you in the future! You go to that station, I will go to that station. Lin Jian made up his mind, although his voice was very soft, but his tone could be heard to be very serious.

"Brother Lin, I understand your kindness. But the family affair between our two families, after all, is still a matter between juniors, if Fengxian is willing, Geng is naturally willing to recognize the Lin family, but if Fengxian is unwilling, Geng is also unwilling to bet the rest of his daughter's life on the battle for the crown prince!" Geng Zhi listened to Lin Jian's words, and his heart was naturally clear. However, this was not what he wanted! he was forcibly dragged into this troubled water by His Majesty... If there is a chance, there is a way to get out, Geng Zhi would rather hand in his resignation tomorrow and go home to rest and retire...

He is already old, what fame and power, he also looks down on it, he is no longer young. Now that he is also a first-class official, his ambition has almost been exhausted...

The battle for the crown prince can bring him "wealth", and Geng Zhi is not greedy. And the failure of the battle for the crown prince can bring him a "disaster" that he can't afford...

"Don't talk about selfishness, he has no selfishness, even if he forms a party, he doesn't want to! But Lin Jian can say this to him at this time, which shows his good intentions, and he can't refuse ruthlessly..."

(Struggle to code the word!! ask for all kinds of tickets! There is a change in the evening!)
