When Mother Man was about to say something else, she heard a commotion at the door. Even Feng Zhenniang, whom Mother Man had been paying attention to, ran over with a look of shock on her face.
What else could happen outside the door? It was Lin Rui who came with the major general and two think tanks beside him to join in the fun. The ones who came were Han Wenjing and Xu Shaoxuan. Chen Zhidong and Lin Pingyu had planned to come, but were delayed by the military affairs sent over before leaving. They could only watch enviously as Lin Rui and the major general and the other two left.
Lin Changfa was surprised and delighted when he received the news. He said in a loud voice, "The Major General is here. Come in, come in!"
The Major General is of great significance to the entire Huangmo Pass. Ordinary people cannot see him, and only his nephew Lin Rui, who works beside the Major General, can see him often. But now the Major General actually came to his house to attend his wedding, which was a great honor for his humble home.
Those merchants who were invited to cooperate with Lin's Workshop were as smart as monkeys. They immediately stood up and came to greet Xing Lie in order to make themselves familiar with him.
Lin Rui called his cousin Lin Zijun and whispered in his ear that he should set up a private room at home to entertain the major general and others.
Lin Zijun was also very excited at this time. When he heard what his cousin said, he immediately trotted off to make arrangements. In just a moment, he had everything settled. He led Lin Rui and the major general and his party to the private room specially set up for reception.
Lin Rui only felt his ears quiet after entering the private room on the second floor, which was converted from a small room. Before, his ears were buzzing like an electric drill, which almost made him deaf.
Xu Shaoxuan took a sip of the tea that Lin Zizheng brought over, and said with a lingering fear: "Your relatives are really warm and welcoming!"
Lin Rui, who was sitting at the same table with them, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "We at the Lin family only have about thirty people. None of us were drinking here today. We were all helping behind the scenes. How could we possibly have such an effect?"
Xing Lie looked at the noisy wedding scene outside and asked curiously, "Who are these people?"
"A cooperating merchant." Lin Rui replied.
Xing Lie and Han Wenjing exchanged glances, and Han Wenjing asked, "Since when did we have so many merchants in Huangmo Pass?"
Lin Rui smiled and said, "A place's industrial development cannot be separated from merchants. If we don't have merchants, we can cultivate them. The reason why Linjia Village has been able to develop is that the Lin's Workshop has diversified its production and supported small individual vendors. They have sold soy products like tofu and dried tofu to more distant places, such as Baixing Town and Baituo Town. Do you think the merchants there will see the business opportunity and come to seek cooperation?"
"We don't need to set the tone so high at the beginning. Just enough to support the workshop. After surviving, we can seek development and then drive the development of related industries. The healthy flow of merchants' goods is the key to achieving the greatest vitality in a region. If conditions exist, we must move forward. If not, we must create them and move forward!"
Xing Lie clapped his hands and shouted, "Good!"
Han Wenjing and Xu Shaoxuan also clapped their hands. "Lord Lin is indeed born with a talent for business. I hope you can put more effort into the Xing Family Army's military supplies. You also know the daily consumption of our Flying Tiger Battalion. The twenty pigs you sent to the camp earlier have all been eaten. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Who knows, the soldiers in the camp will be eager to see more fat pigs enter the Huotou Camp in the future!"
Speaking of this, Lin Rui mentioned the product idea he was currently looking to develop: "Major General, what do you think of the Dirong, Huidi, and Tucker tribes?"
Xing Lie wanted to talk, but the noisy place wasn't a good place for conversation. He gave Lin Rui a look and said, "We'll talk in detail tomorrow at the camp!"
Lin Rui nodded.
Lin's Workshop has the support of the Major General behind it, and many people think that they can only find the way of the Major General, and the main point is one word: "cleverness".
But what does it mean that the major general is personally attending the wedding of the eldest uncle of the Lin family? He loves the eldest uncle so much that he loves everyone in him!
Because he took a fancy to the patriarch of the Lin family, his family's status also rose rapidly, and everyone in the family became prosperous.
This is extremely rare in the area controlled by the Xing family army in Huangmoguan. It is no big deal to say that they are walking sideways, because they have the support of the Xing family army that sets the rules for Huangmoguan!
This made the merchants who originally did business with Lin's Workshop re-evaluate the value of Lin's Workshop, which was completely beyond their imagination.
Lin Changfa had a smile on his face all day, and he even walked with a breeze. He had never felt so proud before.
Now the Lin family has really raised their heads and changed their status.
Man Niang's parents also saw this scene very clearly. Niang Man slapped her thigh and said in front of her husband, unable to control her excitement, "My dear mother, this is a major general, a major general of the Xing family army. To put it bluntly, isn't he the equivalent of a prince here?"
Man Niangdi was also unable to accept it for a moment, and his voice stuttered: "Yes, right?"
"Of course, this is true. He came in person today, which shows how high our son-in-law's status is in the heart of his nephew's clan leader. Our daughter has found a good son-in-law, so what if he is a second wife? I don't think anyone dares to look down on him!"
"Man Niang finally found a good home!"
At this time, Man Niang was sitting on the wedding bed with a red veil on her head, and the bridal chamber was filled with the groom's family members who were accompanying her.
The two daughters-in-law and Chen Zhi and Chen Mei were inside, leaning on the half-open window, and heard what was happening in the front yard from the people passing by.
Chen Zhi couldn't help but sigh happily, "Our Lin family is different now. Although we are engaged in business, the clan leader has become the right-hand man of the major general. If the Xing family army expands again in time, the clan leader's status will probably rise again and again. Oh my, I couldn't even dream of the life we have now!"
The two sisters-in-law, Zhuying and Niuqin, have now gradually freed themselves from the restraints of country people. They have more dealings with the wives of merchants, and their words and actions have become more graceful and they are no longer so stiff in their speech.
Upon hearing this, he replied: "It must be that our Lin family's ancestors' graves are smoking green smoke, and such a capable cousin has emerged."
Chen Mei stood beside Man Niang, took her hand and said, "From now on, we will be sisters-in-law. Changfa is a loyal and honest person. If you live a good life, your life will surely be prosperous."
Chen Zhi also said: "It doesn't matter if you are older. You know how to care for others and feel warm and caring. You are still young. If you can have a child in the future, it will be icing on the cake. Even if you can't, your stepchildren are not mean and will provide you with support in your old age."
Man Niang listened and nodded, feeling uneasy in her heart. She knew too little about the Lin family. She had thought they were just ordinary merchants, but she didn't expect that they would be valued so much by the young general. He actually came in person to attend the wedding today.
There is also the brilliant clan leader who single-handedly reversed the Lin family's status in Huangmoguan. It would be a great honor for her to marry into such a wealthy and promising Lin family.
