Chapter 371 The Enlightened Imperial Brother-in-Law: Invite a Matchmaker Tomorrow
Princess Ni Chang was unaware that Lin Luo Xi had already taken care of everything for Lin Wen Jin so that he wouldn't be looked down upon by Princess Ni Chang's relatives.
She did this so that Lin Zhousheng's family would be more loyal to her.
However, the money for buying things for Princess Nishang was indeed paid by Lin Yangshi and her family themselves; Lin Luoxi was simply doing Lin Zhousheng's family a favor.
Yafangge was opened jointly by Lin Luxi and Fang Zhixia, while Zhenbaozhai was Xie Hanchuan's property.
There are employee discounts for Ms. Lin Yang when she comes to the store to buy things.
After strolling around with Lin Zhousheng and the others, Princess Ni Chang became even more determined to marry Lin Wenjin.
Rather than marrying into a wealthy and powerful family, competing for favor with many other women, and pretending to be magnanimous in front of the world for the sake of the family's reputation.
She might as well marry Lin Wenjin and enjoy his exclusive favor.
Without the scheming and backstabbing between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and the concubines' open and covert struggles for a man's favor.
Just as Lin Zhousong and his group were taking Princess Nishang out to shop, the Imperial Uncle also arrived from the capital.
Lin Zhousheng's family spent the afternoon shopping before returning home.
The Imperial Uncle, who was sitting in the front yard waiting for his beloved daughter to return, looked on with a serious expression as his precious daughter, the three members of the Lin family, and the servants behind them carried back large and small bags.
"Father, you're back..." Princess Nishang saw her father arrive and immediately pulled Lin Wenjin to the Imperial Uncle to pay her respects.
When Lin Zhousheng and Lin Yangshi heard Princess Ni Chang address the middle-aged man sitting opposite Lin Lingtian in the front hall as "father," they were shocked.
The couple looked even more nervous than Lin Wenjin, their backs stiff, their faces contorted with anxiety as they nervously walked into the living room.
"Greetings, Your Excellency, we are Lin Wenjin's parents..." When Lin Yangshi and Lin Zhousheng saw the Imperial Uncle looking in their direction, they didn't know what they were saying; their minds went completely blank.
"You are Lin Wenjin's parents..." While saying a few words to his beloved daughter, the emperor's brother-in-law Zhao Yuanyang kept glancing at Lin Wenjin out of the corner of his eye.
I noticed that although this boy came from the countryside, he didn't have the timidity or cowardice that one would expect from a country person. Instead, he stood up straight and looked directly at me.
His eyes were focused and bright, and he looked at his daughter with great concentration, much better than those lazy and arrogant young masters from noble families in the capital.
He has a dignified appearance and a very impressive demeanor, not at all inferior to those rich young masters. He is a rare talent.
Most importantly, the sincerity in their eyes is something that can no longer be seen in many young people.
After looking the boy over for a few moments, Zhao Yuanyang was extremely satisfied with him.
"You are Lin Wenqian's parents."
After hearing Lin Zhousheng and his wife greet him, Zhao Yuanyang immediately looked at them and saw that their eyes were full of sincerity.
It's clear that good family traditions are hereditary; if his daughter marries into this family, her future life won't be bad.
"Yes, Your Excellency, it's about my Wenjin and the Princess..."
"Hey, now that we're practically family, stop calling me 'Imperial Brother-in-Law' and 'Princess' all the time."
"My daughter's name is Zhao Mingzhu, and my name is Zhao Yunyang. I look a bit older than Brother Lin, so you can just call me Brother Zhao..."
How could he, as the father, not know what his own daughter was up to? Besides, he was quite satisfied with this family now, so he simply lowered his status and played the emotional card with the Lin family.
“Uncle, no, um, Brother Zhao, my name is Lin Zhousheng, and my wife’s name is Lin. You can just call her Lin Yangshi.”
"Brother Zhao, about the relationship between Wenjin and Mingzhu, we...we..." Lin Zhousheng didn't know what to say when he saw how easy-going Zhao Yuanyang was.
In their minds, the emperor's brother-in-law was a high-ranking official. If he knew that a country bumpkin dared to covet his daughter, shouldn't he be furious and lash out at them?
Why was he suddenly so easy to talk to? Lin Zhousheng thought he was dreaming.
"Brother Lin, if my daughter marries into your family, do you think I could move to your village to live out my retirement...?"
Just as Lin Zhousheng and his wife were thinking about how to bring it up in a way that wouldn't seem abrupt, and wouldn't make people look down on them or think they were uncultured.
Zhao Yuanyang asked another question, leaving them stunned.
"What are you all standing there for? The emperor's brother-in-law is asking you, if his daughter marries into your family, they also want to live out their old age in our village."
Sitting to the side, Yang Lindayou saw Lin Zhousheng and Lin Yang arguing and felt anxious for them. He couldn't help but quietly repeat what the Imperial Brother-in-law had just said.
"Welcome, welcome, very welcome, Your Excellency, to tell you the truth, our Wutong Village looks like this now..."
"Uncle, if you were to retire in our village, my brother and I could have a few drinks together, take a walk, and enjoy the scenery..."
Lin Zhousheng snapped out of his daze and began to introduce Wutong Village non-stop, completely losing his previous restraint.
"Say less..." Lin Yangshi hadn't expected the sudden change in tone and hadn't even reacted.
They hadn't realized it yet.
Seeing her husband still muttering to himself, she reached out and pinched his waist at the zero axis.
"Ouch... why are you so rough, woman? I was just excited to tell my son's father-in-law about the beautiful scenery of our village..."
"There are so many people here, you should at least give me some face..."
A pain shot through his waist, and Lin Zhousheng's expression contorted as he grimaced at Lin Yangshi.
"Haha...Young Master Zhou, tomorrow, go and invite the matchmaker over, and our two families can have a proper chat..."
Seeing how Lin Zhousheng and Lin Yangshi interacted, Zhao Yuanyang laughed heartily and told Lin Zhousheng to send a matchmaker to their door tomorrow to discuss the marriage between Lin Wenqian and Zhao Mingzhu.
"Thank you, Father-in-law..." Lin Wenjin, who was standing aside and listening attentively to Zhao Yuanyang, was extremely excited and gave Zhao Yuanyang a deep bow.
"Hahaha... Yuanyang, your son-in-law is paying his respects." Lin Lingtian, sitting opposite him, didn't expect Lin Wenjin to be so clueless and couldn't help but laugh.
Although Lin Lingtian was ten years older than Zhao Yunyang, the two were kindred spirits and were close friends despite their age difference.
When Zhao Yunyang arrived, he was entrusted by Lin Luoxi to speak well of Lin Wenjin and persuade Zhao Yunyang to retire in Quanshan County together.
It was rare for Zhao Yunyang to hear Lin Lingtian praise a place so highly. Coupled with his weariness of the intrigues in the imperial court, he was very eager to visit Wutong Village after hearing Lin Lingtian's description of it.
In addition, after meeting Lin Wenjin's family, he was very satisfied with this future son-in-law.
He and his deceased wife had finally had this precious daughter, and he was worried about her.
If I could go to Quanshan County to retire with my daughter and see her happy, that would be a good choice.
