Chapter 404 Thoughts
Lin Yanyan hasn't seen his second and third uncles for many years. Last time he met, his father passed away, one of the two uncles was responsible for managing the business in the south and the other was responsible for the business in the west. He might not be able to go back to Yangzhou for a year, so it was very difficult to be able to come to Beijing together this time.
After the greetings, my uncle Chen Huaishan asked: "Have the wedding date been set?"
Xiao Qian replied: "It has been scheduled for the eighth day of the eighth month."
"On the eighth day of the eighth month? Good day, this day is well settled." Chen Huaishan said with a smile.
Lin Yanyan was speechless, uncle, is it necessary to agree like this?
Second uncle Chen Yue said, "Yan Yan, the choice of this day is exactly the same as your grandmother's guess, so the Shen family's arrangements are based on this day."
Lin Yanyan was confused: "Second uncle, what else does the Shen family have to make?"
Isn’t it just to have a wedding banquet and add makeup to her?
"Of course I'm sending you a marriage. Now you're going to get married, and you're marrying His Royal Highness. The wedding must be glorious and we have nothing to worry about, but your mother is the only daughter of the Shen family and you are the only granddaughter of the Shen family. The Shen family can't help anything else, but it's still necessary to add icing on the cake."
"Your second uncle is right, so we will make arrangements this time. Your grandmother and your three aunts will come in a few days," Chen Huaishan said.
Lin Yanyan was moved and didn't know what to say. To be honest, after the marriage was given, grandmother was just happy and caring about how to benefit from it and didn't care about anything else. Aunt San was willing to arrange for her, but Aunt San had to arrange the marriage between Jingcheng and Youyou. The marriage between them was settled and they planned to get married as soon as possible. After all, everyone knew that the emperor was in poor health. If that's the case, the marriage between her children would be delayed. Therefore, she was the one who arranged her marriage herself, but for the first time in her two lives, she didn't understand many things. The royal wedding was extremely complicated and complicated, and it really needed someone who understood it to give her ideas.
Of course, as long as she speaks, there are many people willing to help, but can she speak this? Grandmother is alive and uncles and aunts are there, so is she embarrassed to speak? Now that there are finally relatives and elders coming to help her, Lin Yanyan is really mixed with emotion.
Xiao Qian understood Lin Yanyan's reaction and couldn't help but blame himself. It was because he was negligent. Yan Yan's parents were no longer there, and the rest of the Lin family were useless and could not count on him. She probably was anxious about the marriage for a while, but she never mentioned it to him. First, she was embarrassed to speak, and second, Yan Yan knew that he was busy and didn't want to disturb him, which made him distracted.
Xiao Qian felt distressed and wanted to shake Yan Yan's hand. He remembered that his three uncles were present, so he held back and said, "It's best to have uncles help to arrange the situation. My uncle may not understand the situation in the palace. My father was not safe and the queen mother was bedridden all year round. My mother was hit hard by my fourth brother's affairs. She really had no one in charge. The Ministry of Rites came to ask me many things, but I didn't understand them either. I can only say that you should follow the rules. Otherwise, I asked the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites to come to my uncle. What should the woman need to prepare and do? What should I discuss with several uncles? The Shen family is an imperial merchant and has always dealt with the palace. You have some rules better than ordinary people."
Chen Huaishan was moved, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was understanding. They came here early this time, just because they knew that no one from the Lin family arranged a marriage for Yan Yan, and the Lin family ignored the Shen family. They originally wanted to make Yan Yan marry decently. After all, Yan Yan had his own grandmother and uncle, so it was not the turn of the grandfather's family to worry about it, so that people would make gossip.
But now the Crown Prince takes the initiative to ask the Shen family to participate, and he is so tactful and decent, and he really cares about Yan Yan, so he is like this.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, how dare we refuse?" Chen Huaishan responded.
"Then I'll have three uncles." Xiao Qian said with a smile.
Lin Yanyan glanced at Xiao Qian, and felt warm in his heart. He was really a very meticulous person!
After chatting for a while, Xiao Qian said that the architecture of Chen Mansion is different from the style of Beijing, and has a style of gardens in Suzhou. The second uncle Chen Yue took the opportunity to take Xiao Qian to take a walk and ask the three juniors to accompany him.
Xiao Qian looked at Lin Yanyan, and Lin Yanyan said, "You go, I still have something to say to my uncle."
Xiao Qian went to the garden with his second and third uncles.
Chen Huaishan asked Yan Yan to go to the study with him and took out a box: "This is the little intention of the three uncles, but the three uncles, your grandmother, and your three aunts, they will make a good deal on their own."
Lin Yanyan took the box, it was very light.
Chen Huaishan smiled and said, "Open it and take a look."
Lin Yanyan opened the box, which was full of colorful deeds. After reading it, there were tea gardens in the south, coal mountains in the west, a cloth shop near the capital, several real estate deeds in major cities, and even a silver note of one million taels."
Lin Yanyan was stunned. How much does this cost?
"Uncle, this gift is too expensive, I can't ask for it." She was uneasy.
Chen Huaishan said, "This million taels of silver bill was placed by Yao's second master of the Yao family. I said, they would never want to take back this million taels, so I will give it to you. It was originally yours, and it was considered the original owner. As for these real estate deeds, they are the best places in various cities. Don't you want the branch of the same origin building to open all over Dasheng? You don't have to worry about finding a shop and sending people there. There are also tea gardens, coal mountains and cloth shops, which have great returns and stable returns. You don't have to worry about managing them in the future. Just sit and collect the money..."
"Uncle..." Lin Yanyan didn't know what to say. He just thought the box was very light, but now he just felt that the box was very heavy.
Chen Huaishan said: "Yan Yan, nothing unexpected happens. In the future, you will be the queen of the great success. The queen will naturally have the style of a queen. There are many places in the palace that require money!"
"I dare not say anything else, but I must be the richest queen." Lin Yanyan joked.
Chen Huaishan laughed happily: "Where is this? The Shen family has been doing business for several generations and has accumulated a lot. At this point, money is just the number in the account book. What should be troublesome is how to spend this money comfortably and use it in practice. In the future, if you want to use it, just tell my uncle that the Shen family is not short of money."
Lin Yanyan believed this. I am afraid that even the Shen family is not sure how rich the Shen family is. However, the Shen family rules are strict and the Shen family are very low-key, so outsiders would not know the depth of the Shen family. In fact, if it weren't for the three uncles who gave such a big gift today, she would not be able to imagine the wealth of the Shen family.
"Thank you uncle, then Yan Yan accepted it." Lin Yanyan stopped being pretentious and took it with peace of mind.
However, she was also curious, what would her uncles say when Jing Yuan got married?
