Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi were still kissing each other in the garden of Ersha Island when the phone suddenly rang.
When Lin Sanqi saw that the call was from his future father-in-law, he quickly stretched out a hand from a warm and tender place and answered the call.
"Hey, Uncle Yin, what's going on so late?"
Lin Sanqi thought it was his future father-in-law who came to check on him, so he urged his daughter to go home quickly, but he had already booked a hotel.
Just as Yin Shengrong was about to speak, his grandfather interrupted him: "Turn on speakerphone."
"Open it, humph."
"Hey, Xiaoqi, Uncle Yin called you to discuss something important with you.
I am now in our Yin clan ancestral hall. All the elders and children are here. I just told Grandpa that you and Ayi want to get married.
Grandpa said, if you want to marry Yi, you must agree to three conditions, otherwise there is no room for negotiation.
Lin Sanqi was delighted when he heard this, thinking that as long as the old man agreed, everything could be discussed.
What he feared most was that the old man would be stubborn and even start a fight between the two villages during the New Year. If there were casualties, then there would be no hope for him and Yin Lianyi to get together.
"Uncle Yin, please tell me your three conditions first. As long as I can do it, I will comply."
Yin Shengrong nodded, thinking that his son-in-law was on his way, and then he put forward the conditions:
"First condition, Grandpa said that two actors and actresses spent 200 million yuan on their wedding. You and Ayi are both from good families, and your families are wealthy. The wedding cost cannot be less than 300 million yuan. What do you think?"
As soon as the words fell, hundreds of people in the Yin family ancestral hall all blinked their eyes and pricked up their ears, wanting to weigh the weight of the Lin family.
At the same time, he cursed in his heart: Grandpa, is this old guy really willing to ask for 300 million for a marriage?
With this amount of money, he can be a bridegroom every night. What kind of woman can’t he find?
Although Yin Shengrong's girl is pretty, she is not so pretty that others would do anything to get her. That's crazy.
On the other end of the phone, Yin Lianyi almost laughed out loud when she heard this.
She knew her boyfriend's current financial situation too well. This amount of money was just a drop in the bucket and he wouldn't even take it seriously.
Sure enough, Lin Sanqi said without thinking:
"300 million for a wedding? No problem. Tell Grandpa Yin that I agree. We'll make it a grand affair that will shock the entire Huadu."
Boom~~~, all the members of the Yin clan were shocked and exclaimed in surprise.
To be honest, it is rare to see a wedding in an urban village costing three million yuan. Southerners are very pragmatic, and a wedding costing three hundred million yuan is unheard of.
How rich is the Lin family?
Or is there something wrong with the Lin family's brains?
Even Grandpa Yin was confused. He just randomly mentioned a number to embarrass the other party, so why did the other party agree to it?
Reported too little?
Yin Shengrong was very satisfied with his son-in-law's answer. He glanced at everyone with satisfaction before continuing:
"The second requirement is that the betrothal gift must be 88.88 million. This..."
Lin Sanqi didn't care anymore after hearing this. He waved his hand:
"Uncle Yin, a betrothal gift of 88 million is too stingy and totally unworthy of my Ayi. I'll add another 100 million, 188.88 million, and make it a whole lot richer. How do you think that is?"
When Yin Lianyi heard this, she happily gave her boyfriend a big kiss on the face.
The six brothers of the Yin family also excitedly punched the air, thinking that this son-in-law was generous and had a broad mind, and they had indeed chosen the right person.
The Yin clan members opened their mouths even wider and could not close them for a long time, with only envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts.
I just regret that I can’t give birth to a girl as beautiful as a star?
The betrothal gift is 180 million. Even if the bride's family keeps 10%, it is still 18 million, which is enough for an ordinary family to have food and drink for a lifetime.
At this time, even Grandpa Yin widened his eyes slightly, and felt a little admiration for this young man from the Lin family.
After all, this is a huge amount of money, and it is real money. These two amounts alone add up to almost 500 million yuan.
Looking across the country, how many rich men are willing to spend so much money to marry a girl from an ordinary family?
The other party did not hesitate at all and even offered to pay more. It turned out that the boy from the Lin family was a man who could do big business.
Yin Shengrong touched his chest, calmed his inner excitement, and made one last request:
"Grandpa has one last request. He wants you to help him get a set of rosewood furniture, just like the one that's in the center of your Lin's ancestral hall. It has to have a four-clawed dragon pattern, not one less."
Hearing this outrageous condition, Lin Sanqi held the phone and sneered.
He didn't need this set of furniture. In another time and space, such a set of royal furniture would be treated as waste by the old people and young people in Peking City and would not be considered valuable.
But that is under the premise that he can travel through time. If it were 2016, who else in the world could get this kind of royal set of furniture?
This kind of furniture should be put in museums and recognized as first-class cultural relics. It is impossible for it to flow into the market and enter the homes of ordinary people.
The key point is that Lin Sanqi hates being taken advantage of the most.
No matter how much money you spend on the wedding or the betrothal gift, it will all end up being spent on yourself, just like using your left hand to support your right hand.
But it is inappropriate for the Yin family to keep asking for a complete set of royal furniture.
You should know that the value of the set of rosewood furniture in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall is at least over 1 billion yuan because it is a complete set.
This includes tilted tables, altar tables, eight-immortal tables, long desks, coffee tables, incense tables, antique shelves, floor screens, insert screens, mirror screens, armchairs, round chairs, etc.
There are 12 armchairs alone, and each one is worth 10 million at the auction.
Even a four-clawed dragon is of prince-level quality and can only be made by the Imperial Household Department. In ancient times, ordinary people would never see one in their lifetime, let alone buy one.
After this set of rosewood royal furniture appeared in the Lin family ancestral hall, the Huadu Museum and the Dongguan Museum came to the hall to mobilize the Lin family to donate.
Even the National Museum sent staff to take photos for record, intending to include them in the collection.
The richest woman who ate Tang Sanzang's flesh, the China Red Sandalwood Museum she founded, even offered a whopping 1 billion yuan to buy it. (Shilou Village boasted that the price was 1.5 billion yuan.)
Even the Tony Ma family and the Belt family, the richest people in Dongguang Province, could not get this kind of four-clawed golden dragon furniture.
How dare he, the leader of a village gang in the city, ask for such a high price?
At this time, Yin Lianyi also shook her head at Lin Sanqi and crossed her hands.
The meaning is obvious: rejection.
Lin Sanqi thought that it would be inappropriate to refuse directly. He didn't want to fail because of a set of furniture and make his marriage a mess. That was not worth it.
A wife is more important than furniture anyway.
For rich people, anything that can be solved with money is a small matter.
So the ball has to be kicked back. Since the Yin family treats this marriage as a business, don't blame me for killing them.
Having made up his mind, Lin Sanqi regained his confidence and said:
“Uncle Yin, Grandpa may not know that a complete set of rosewood furniture is no longer available in China. The most you can buy is a single armchair or a long desk.
These are all treasures that can be put on auction.
But what grandpa asked for was red sandalwood furniture with a four-claw golden dragon pattern, which is only available in the Palace Museum in the world.
You may not know that it is extremely difficult to get a complete set of royal antiques from the Forbidden City.
The cultural relics in the Forbidden City are all registered onshore by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Even the top boss in China cannot just take them away.
So you have to understand how difficult it is. The state law is watching, and if you are caught, you will be shot."
The Yin family members all nodded slightly, thinking that Lin Sanqi was not lying. He couldn't have stolen the chair from the Golden Palace, right?
Aren't you afraid of being shot?
Do you really think the People's Iron Fist is joking with you?
How many tomb robbers were executed in Shaanxi and Zhongyuan provinces? They were just digging a grave.
If you want to steal a set of royal furniture from the Palace Museum in ancient times, you will be punished with the entire family.
Grandpa Yin also knew that getting a set of four-clawed golden dragon royal furniture would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
It is definitely not something that can be obtained with money, but he just wants to make things difficult for his Lin family. If it can be easily passed, why would he bring it up as a trump card?
Yin Shengrong didn't know how to start and began to worry.
At this time, Lin Sanqi continued:
“If Grandpa insists on four-claw rosewood furniture, that’s not impossible, but I can’t afford it at that price alone.
I have a great connection and know someone who can get a set of four-clawed golden dragon furniture from the Forbidden City, but the price will be very high, far exceeding the market price."
When Grandpa Yin heard this, his eyes lit up.
Ever since the Lin Family Ancestral Hall got a set of four-clawed golden dragon rosewood, Shilou Village has become the richest and most prestigious village in the entire Huadu.
Building a few skyscrapers is not a big deal, because you can do it with money.
But if you can get a set of furniture that only ancient princes or even emperors could use and put it in the ancestral hall, it would be a very proud thing and would definitely bring honor to your family.
In fact, this mentality is very feudal, even a bit servile. People still envy the emperor's family and think that owning royal things is the supreme honor.
But clans are a feudal tradition, so it is normal for the elderly to have this obsession.
Even in the ancestral hall of a village in Huadu, the ancestors had an imperial edict, which was displayed in the center of the hall.
So Grandpa Yin also wanted to hear how Lin Sanqi made his offer. (End of this chapter)
