False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

"So, the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce is being taken into consideration?"

In Xue's mansion, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Xue Biao talking about the current situation.

According to what Xue Biao said.

During this time, there have been many strange faces wandering around the workshop.

The purpose is not simple at first glance.

"My lord, you don't know, a few people claiming to be Heshen's retainers are offering two hundred thousand taels of silver, intending to buy the method of making icing sugar and refined salt." Xue Biao had an angry look on his face when he talked about this.

joke.

It would be no exaggeration to say that the frosting and refined salt business is making a fortune every day.

A mere two hundred thousand taels of silver is no different than sending a beggar.

If Xue Biao was just an ordinary businessman, he might have given in.

After all, that was the powerful Minister of Household Affairs He Shen!

There are countless party members in the DPRK, and they are deeply trusted by His Majesty today.

Naturally, Xue Biao did not dare to resist such existence.

But.

Those guys who claimed to be Heshen's retainers were all kicked out by Xue Biao without mercy.

the reason is simple.

Xue Biao knew exactly who was standing behind him!

That is His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of Li Tang!

Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded noncommittally.

From this point of view, Xue Biao invited him here not because he was worried about the wolves in the capital.

So what's the reason?

"Master Lin, what is your impression of my sister?" Xue Biao asked tentatively.

Yes.

Xue Biao knew that his access to the royal family depended entirely on the military attaché in front of him!

And everyone can see that being promoted so quickly to a fourth-grade military attache and in charge of fifty thousand feather forest guards shows that he is favored in the emperor's heart.

Now among the military attachés in the capital, Lin Chen vaguely resembles Zhao Kuangyin, the minister of the Ministry of War!

Of course, smart people who can understand the current situation know very well that this is a move by Li Zhao, the newly ascended emperor, to consolidate military power.

After all, the more than 100,000 Beijing camps cannot be controlled by the emperor, and no one will be able to sit still.

No.

In order to highlight the status of the Habayashi Guards, the emperor even placed their headquarters in the Royal Forest Garden!

Great honor!

"Xue Baoqin?"

Lin Chen didn't know what Xue Biao was thinking, but the name suddenly popped into his mind.

Lin Chen only knew about this name. In the original book, she was an outstanding woman whose appearance was not inferior to that of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.

But he remembered that Xue Baoqin had already made a marriage contract with the son of a certain civil servant censor in the capital a few years ago?

indeed.

Xue Biao also used this rhetoric to deal with Jia Mu.

However, what Lin Chen didn't know was.

The imperial censor who was engaged to Xue Baoqin now feared the two brothers Xue Biao like a tiger.

After the censor surnamed Mei learned that Xue Biao was the manager of the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce, he had no good face when the Xue brothers and sisters came to inquire about their engagement.

It's not that the Censor Mei's family is noble and looks down on the daughter of a merchant.

It was simply that Censor Mei learned that the Ziwei Chamber of Commerce was being targeted by many powerful people.

If he married Xue Baoqin again, wouldn't he become a thorn in the side of these big shots?

It also makes people mistakenly think that the relationship between the Mei family and the Xue family is very good.

When the Xue family is suppressed by the powerful, the Mei family will definitely be implicated!

Come down like this.

The Mei family, who only invited Xue Biao to drink a cup of tea that day, expelled him directly, showed a clear attitude.

That means you don't plan to have anything to do with Xue Baoqin. As for the engagement?

Just pretend you don’t know.

The Mei family even sent people to publicize the matter in the capital.

It is said that the Mei family is still a scholarly family and does not deal with merchants who smell like copper.

This made Xue Tao so angry that he almost died!

When Lin Chen heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes. He really didn't know about this.

This is not an annulment for the Mei family, it is simply a feud.

certainly.

The Mei family may feel that they are a Censor of the sixth rank, and they may be able to climb up the ranks in the future.

How could he be afraid of Xue Biao’s grudge?

"What does Shopkeeper Xue mean?"

"My sister has admired General Lin for a long time and is willing to serve him."

Xue Biao said the words he had prepared a long time ago, and his tone was a little cautious.

The implication.

It is planned to let Xue Baoqin marry into the Lin Mansion as a concubine.

Lin Chen was startled when he heard this.

Good guy.

He and Xue Baoqin had never met each other a few times, so the so-called admiration was more of an excuse.

Then I thought about it.

It was right for Xue Biao to do this, as it meant to get closer to Lin Chen.

The daughter of a merchant really had no standing in front of the powerful men in ancient times.

Just like in the original book, Aunt Xue wanted to marry her daughter to Jia Baoyu, but Mrs. Wang was not satisfied.

In the final analysis, she looked down on the daughter of a merchant and felt that she was not worthy of her status.

Xue Biao felt relieved when he saw that Lin Chen was silent and did not agree immediately.

Because Lin Chen didn't refuse, that meant there was a chance for this!

Immediately, Xue Biao called Xue Baoqin.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen looked at the screen and saw a gentle girl walking out.

Lin Chen's eyes fell on him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The pretty girl in front of her was only slightly inferior to Qin Keqing, and her aura as elegant as a red plum added to her beauty.

Xue Baoqin naturally knew his brother's plan.

Coupled with the Mei family's previous move to break off the engagement, the girl in front of her had a hint of sadness on her brows.

but.

Under Lin Chen's gaze, Xue Baoqin still cheered up and bowed.

Lin Chen did not speak, and fell into some deep thought.

Xue Biao was shocked when he saw this. Could it be that Lin Chenjia despised his sister?

Of course, the next words made Xue Biao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is this Shopkeeper Xue's sister? She really stands out." Lin Chen said with appreciation in his tone.

When Xue Baoqin heard this, his beautiful eyes couldn't help but fall on the ghost-faced general in front of him.

She didn't have many impressions of Lin Chen, but they were quite profound.

He knew that the person in front of him was a general who was commanding the battlefield.

Everyone says that martial artists are vulgar.

However, Xue Baoqin didn't see a trace of vulgarity in Lin Chen in front of him, only an inexplicable aloofness.

In this case, things are simple.

Lin Chen definitely had no intention of refusing.

After discussion, Xue Baoqin will find a good and auspicious day to marry into Lin Mansion.

Lin Chen, who declined Xue Zhu's banquet, saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye and left.

For high-ranking officials in ancient times, keeping concubines was not a big deal.

It's nothing more than a few words of envy after being known to outsiders.

You must know that the number of concubines in Jia She's room is already in double digits.

certainly.

In order to make Xue Biao look good, Xue Baoqin married into the Lin family, and he also needed to make it a little more ceremonial.

Return to Lin Mansion.

Meals have been prepared at home.

Now that Lin Mansion has many maids and servants, it is a bit more lively.

"Sister Wei, your hair is so beautiful!"

Master Li couldn't help but touch it gently. The touch felt like black jade.

It can be seen that Master Li had established a good relationship with Wei Zifu just half a day after arriving at Lin Mansion.

As for the other one…
