If I knew I would be caught by the old man, now it's all good, Zheng 'er is his grandson, and also my son. As his father, I can't run away even if I wanted to. He laughed twice, and said helplessly, "What do you mean by the heavens, is it that serious? Zheng 'er is my son, of course I have to help him! But to put such a heavy burden on my shoulders, that's too difficult! "
Qin Xian 'er laughed lightly, "Don't worry, father has already arranged everything. Xu Wei, Lomin, Li Tai, the emperor's tutor and the others will do their best to support Zheng' er. Together with sister and you, I guarantee that we will produce a Zhao Zheng who is good at fighting. "
Managing money, managing people, managing troops, all of them had an inexplicable relationship with Lin San. This was the foundation of the stability of the country. The old man had calculated everything to the point that even Lin Wanrong couldn't help but admire.
He nodded very seriously, "Good, good, with so many people, I'm not afraid!"
Miss Qin thought for a moment, and instantly saw through his intentions, smiled, "What many people, you want to use this opportunity to slack off and escape?"
"How could that be?" He hurriedly laughed, and pulled Qin Xian 'er into his embrace, blowing hot air into her ear, tempting her, "Xian' er my little darling, don't you want to have a son? Tonight is a dark and windy night, it's a good time to get a seed, what are we waiting for! "
"Husband, I also want to have two at once!"
"Uh — — this, let's discuss again, let's discuss again — — Wow, Xian 'er, you really are a hardworking person, you're already taking off my clothes!"
In one night, the Lin family had gained two young masters, the eldest son Zhao Zheng was even decreed by the emperor. He was bestowed the title of imperial grandson of China. The meaning within. The entire world understood. In a short period of time, it was incredible. The congratulatory crowd trampled the lintel of the Lin family's door. The banquet lasted for seven days and seven nights.
Fortunately, Madam Qiaoqiao owned a restaurant, and the Food for Immortals was too delicious. She worked tirelessly. Working day and night, he was well taken care of. General Lin was still feeling a little heartache over the money, but when Ning 'er, who was in charge of the accounts, passed him the gift account book. His eyes widened. He happily hugged Miss Lo and kissed her fiercely. "Good Ning 'er. Have a son. Give birth to a son soon. We can rely on this to get rich! "
Three days later. Li Tai's army returned to the capital. The Emperor opened the Gate of Victory and went ten li out of the city to personally welcome them. The soldiers of the Northern Expedition enjoyed boundless glory. When he heard about the Lin family's great news. Everyone was even more excited as they rushed in to congratulate General Lin. This was a meeting between brothers of life and death. He drank himself into a stupor. He emptied the wine cellar of the Lin Family!
The wedding banquet lasted for dozens of days before it gradually dispersed. Lin Wanrong tossed and turned every day. He was also very tired. When the banquet was finally over, he took advantage of the free time to drink tea and rest in the garden, playing with the children for fun. At the same time, he had a deep discussion with the madams about the issue of having a boy or a girl. The atmosphere was very lively.
"Big Brother, is it really up to the man to decide whether to have a boy or a girl?" Qiaoqiao lowered her voice and asked shyly and carefully.
Big Brother proudly hugged Lin Erlang and shook him. At the same time, he pecked Qiaoqiao's little face. "Of course. When did Big Brother lie to you? The decision to have a son or a daughter is in the hands of the man! But let me make this clear first. I don't have a preference for boys over girls. Whether it's a son or a daughter, I like them both. You can rest assured and give birth boldly! "
Miss Lo giggled. She looked at him with her charming eyes, as if water could drip from them. Thinking of how hot this girl was last night. When she was bathing, she had already jumped into his bucket. Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat. He smiled coquettishly and said, "Ning 'er. What do you want to have? The supporting position is all up to you! "
Luo Ning blinked and said shyly, "It's all up to you to give birth to a boy or a girl. I'm not your opponent. It's still up to Big Brother. Then what should I do?! "
The madams in the garden were all experienced people. Hearing this, their faces heated up. They giggled. However, Grand Mistress couldn't bear it anymore. She pinched his arm hard with a red face. "Don't talk nonsense!"
Everyone present. Only the two young ladies from the Xiao Family hadn't married into the family. Their skin was naturally thinner. Lin Wanrong giggled and pulled Xiao Yuruo's hand. "Grand Mistress, about the latest style of clothing that I mentioned to you a few days ago, have you considered it?!"
Xiao Yuruo nodded. She took out a piece of paper from her bosom and handed it to him. "Take a look. Is this what it looks like? "
Lin Wanrong glanced at it and saw that the outline of a long dress was carefully drawn on the paper. Its entire body was pure white, and it was very lifelike. That day, he had only said a few words and casually drew a simple pattern. Eldest Miss had actually followed this clue and traced the pattern. It was really an amazing skill.
"How is it? Is it wrong?" Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Yuruo felt nervous. She hurriedly asked in a soft voice.
Lin Wanrong smiled and shook his head. "It's not wrong. It's too right! Grand Mistress. I'm not praising you. You really are a genius! "
This person started to flatter. He had reached perfection! Grand Mistress's face was bright red. She was happy and secretly held his hand. He gently stroked it in his palm. It made Lin San's heart melt.
"However, there's still a little flaw." He moved closer to Grand Mistress's crystal clear earlobe and said slowly.
Xiao Yuruo's expression tightened. "Where, where is the flaw?!"
He laughed and gestured a few times at the chest of the dress. "Here, the chest, should be a little lower. Hmm, the lower the better!"
Grand Mistress suddenly blushed. "How can I do this? Which woman would dare to wear it like this? You dirty ghost! "
"What are you afraid of? This dress was made especially for you. It's only for me, a dirty ghost." Lin Wanrong breathed hot air into her ear and said with a smile, "Didn't you ask me what this dress is called?"
Xiao Yuruo's heart trembled. Her whole body felt weak. She weakly nodded.
"This is called a wedding dress!!" He suddenly kissed her earlobe and said with a smile, "I don't know, Grand Mistress, are you willing to do it, willing to do it, or willing to do it?"
"I'm not doing it!" Xiao Yuruo cried out. Her face and ears were red. She shyly swung her small fist and hurriedly punched his chest. When it landed on his body, it was already so soft that it was almost silent.
Lin Wanrong laughed proudly. Xian 'er, Luo Ning, and the others also hurriedly came over. They looked at the design and were immediately overjoyed. They turned a blind eye to the suggestion to lower the chest. They were even secretly happy. In any case, they would only wear it for this dirty ghost to see. They wanted to charm him to death!
Seeing him smiling so treacherously. Grand Mistress blushed for a long time before she mustered up the courage to say in a small voice, "This material? Of course our cloth shop can weave it! There's no problem with the craftsmanship! It's just that it takes a little longer! How many do you want to make? "
How many? He cried out twice but did not dare to say anything. This was the top secret of the Lin family. It was not something that could be explained in a few words.
Seeing his hesitant look, Qin Xian 'er snorted, "I'm afraid he can't even count how many he wants to make! Little sister Xiao Yuruo, just weave more of this material. It's better to be prepared. It won't be difficult to make it again! Who knows how many children he has in the Turkic Khaganate?! "
Qiaoqiao, Yushuang, and the others giggled. Regarding the matter of the Golden Blade Khan and Lin San, the storytellers in the teahouse had already talked about it with spittle flying everywhere. The customers in the teahouse were even more enthusiastic about it. They talked about how he killed his lover with an arrow, how it snowed in June, and how his hair turned white. There were at least twenty to thirty different versions of the story. The more it was spread, the more amazing it became. It directly described the relationship between the two of them to the point that it shocked the heavens and the earth. This kind of harmless romantic affair did not only damage General Lin's prestige, but also made people admire and admire him, pushing his reputation to the peak.
Ning 'er giggled and said, "Before Big Brother left, sister warned him. Don't ever bring back a barbarian woman! Now, he has fulfilled his promise, but left his heart in the grasslands. But we left our hearts in the grasslands. Our losses outweigh our gains! "
Everyone laughed, and some were annoyed, but not many people were really angry. After a few days of curling up, seeing the deep wound on his chest. They knew what kind of pain and joy he and the Golden Blade Khan had gone through. They couldn't even feel sorry for him, so how could they bear to blame him?
Lin Wanrong laughed dryly, his expression awkward. Qing Xuan had only been in confinement for about ten days. Regarding the matter of Yu Jia, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was too embarrassed to mention it to her.
"Wah, wah!" Lin Erlang seemed to understand his father's thoughts, and suddenly burst into tears. He helped him out of this predicament. Zhao Zheng did not want to fall behind, and the two children competed to cry. This caused these mothers to be in a mess. Some hugged, some coaxed. They no longer had the mood to ask.
Erlang's father immediately shed tears of gratitude. My son is still the most considerate!
"Lin San, Lin San!" An anxious voice came from the door, and a figure rushed in in a flurry.
"Here, here!" Lin Wanrong smiled and waved his hand. "Young Master, come over quickly, it's time to eat the osmanthus cake!"
Guo Wuchang rushed in front of him in a few steps, and hurriedly shook his head. "No, I'm not eating! Lin San, there's a Westerner who wants to see you, and he came to our shop! "
A Westerner looking for me?! Lin Wanrong was also shocked. "Who? What's his name? Where is he?! "
Young Cousin said shyly, "He spoke in Western language too fast, and I didn't hear him clearly. I don't know what his name is! But I brought him here, and he's waiting outside the door! "
You didn't hear him clearly, Young Cousin really has my style! Lin Wanrong was overjoyed, and hurriedly waved his hand. "Quick, invite the foreigner, oh, no, invite the Westerner in!"
The Westerner had just entered the garden, and when he saw him, he immediately waved excitedly. "Hello, Mistorin, hello!"
"This Westerner looks familiar!" Xiao Yuruo frowned.
Lin Wanrong stared blankly for a long time, then suddenly jumped up and said with a laugh, "Tavone, is that you?"
The foreigner nodded and quickly ran over. "It's me, it's me, Mistorin. Long time no see. How are you?"
Grand Mistress blinked and was delighted. "I remember now. This is the Frenchman we met when we attended the Chamber of Commerce in Hangzhou. His name is Tavone, and he sells diamonds!"
Seeing this Tavone, many past events came to her mind. The fierce fight in the restaurant, the misty rain by the West Lake, the endless red line … The Grand Mistress suddenly felt infinite joy in her heart. She couldn't help but secretly look at Lin San, only to see that the evil man was smiling and winking at her. It was obvious that he had thought of the same thing as her.
Grand Mistress's heart warmed, and she firmly held his hand. In her joy and yearning, tears blurred her eyes.
"Hi, Tavone, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and you've become more and more handsome. I almost didn't recognize you, haha!" Lin Wanrong walked forward and hugged the Frenchman warmly in broken English.
The last time Tavone was imprisoned by Tao Dongcheng, he was in a very sorry state. He had used a lot of diamonds on Lin San to escape. This time, he was imposing and in high spirits. No wonder the Grand Mistress and Lin San didn't recognize him!
Tavone said excitedly, "Mistorin, I finally found you! I heard that you became a national officer and even gave birth to twin sons. Congratulations! "
"Not at all, it's just so-so!" Lin Wanrong giggled. "Tavone, when did you arrive in the capital? Why didn't you come to find me earlier? "
The Frenchman shook his head. "This time, I brought four large ships from France and went directly to the port in Shandong. It's been several days since I arrived in Beijing. It's just that no one can understand me! Fortunately, I remember that you work in a cloth company, and I saw your portrait in the Xiao Family's old shop in Beijing. That's how I met you! "
This old man must have made a lot of money from selling silk tea last time. That's why he came back. He even brought four large ships. His appetite is not small! He knows that I have become a national officer, and he is so eager to find me. Maybe he has something to ask of me. Lin Wanrong smiled and nodded. "Tavone, thank you for your hospitality! Please sit down. Please sit down! "
Tavone didn't sit down. He looked around a few times and suddenly widened his eyes. "Lin, are these your wives? God. They are so beautiful! Tavone greets all the wives! "
He bowed down and wanted to pull Qiaoqiao's hand and kiss the back of her hand. Qiaoqiao was shocked. Her face turned red and she hurriedly hid behind her brother.
Lin Wanrong patted the little girl's soft shoulder and said with a smile, "Tavone, the customs of our countries are different. Let's skip these formalities! Otherwise, the next time I go to France, I will hug and kiss your wife for a long time! "
The Frenchman smiled awkwardly. His gaze fell on Xiao Yuruo and he asked curiously, "Lin, is this also your wife? God, I remember the last time I saw her, she was still your master! I wonder what method you used to change the master into a wife? I really envy your good luck! "
Grand Mistress didn't understand English, but when she saw the foreigner staring at her, she couldn't help but pull Lin San.
She curiously asked, "What did he say?!" "Oh, he praised us as a match made in heaven.
"Oh, he praised us as a match made in heaven. He wished us to have a son soon! "
Grand Mistress spat softly. Her face was flushed with shame and joy.
When the tea was served. She took a few sips. Lin Wanrong sighed beautifully. "Brother Tavone, what brings you to the capital this time?!"
Tavone said loudly, "Lin, I am here on a mission from His Majesty Louis. I am going to China to establish friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries. And to open up trade routes! "
Oh, this old man was promoted. He went from being a diamond dealer to a diplomatic envoy? What mission from His Majesty Louis? I'm afraid you are all interested in my China's silk, tea, and porcelain, and want to bring them back to make money, right?
Lin smiled and nodded. "Establish diplomatic relations and open up trade? Good, very good! You should have met His Majesty the Emperor of my country, right? "
Tavone shook his head with some disappointment. "When I arrived in your country, there was no interpreter. There were very few people who could understand me! I visited your various city governments. They passed the buck to each other, and no one dared to introduce me to His Majesty the Emperor! "
That's why you came looking for me? Lin Wanrong chuckled. It was a matter of trade and commerce. Which yamen dared to make decisions without authorization? It was you who didn't understand the national conditions of China. Who can you blame?
Seeing Mistorin, Lin was silent. Tavone hurriedly said, "Lin, I have found out everything this time. I heard that you married His Majesty the Emperor's princess and gave birth to twin sons. His Majesty the Emperor trusts you greatly. This matter concerns the diplomatic relations between our two countries. Please help me and introduce me to the emperor of your country! "
France and China were thousands of miles apart. Under the guise of diplomatic relations, they only wanted to sell more tea, silk, and daily necessities and go back to Europe to earn gold coins.
"Well …" Lin furrowed her brows as if she was in a difficult position!
Tavone saw him frown and was a little anxious. He hurriedly took out a wooden box from his side and handed it to him. "Lin, look!"
As soon as the box was opened, the room was suddenly dazzling, dazzling people's eyes. There were dozens of jadeite diamonds inside, all crystal clear and full and tempting.
These were not the defective ones found on Tavone's body last time, but the largest, purest, and brightest South African diamonds. They were the best in the world. Lin Wanrong had lived two lives, but he had never seen such a big diamond. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand. His eyes widened as he stroked the exquisite and crisp diamond. His hand began to tremble.
This biggest and brightest one was reserved for little sister Crescent Moon! The one next to it, which was the same size and bright, was reserved for Qing Xuan! This one was for the fairy, and this one was for Sister Fox. Qiaoqiao, Xian 'er, Ning' er … He counted for a long time, drooling, and finished distributing the diamonds in the blink of an eye!
"Lin, Lin …" Tavone's few soft calls woke him up from his dream.
Lin Wanrong's heart itched like a cat scratching at it. He resisted the temptation and stuffed the box back into the hands of the French. He said reservedly, "Tavone, what do you mean by showing me this? These diamonds, you French treat them as treasures, but they can't be sold for a good price in China. You saw it last time! "
He didn't expect Lin to be so upright! Tavone was anxious. He quickly stuffed the box into Lin's arms. "It can't be sold for a good price, but this is a gift from King Louis. How can it be calculated in gold coins!"
"I can't just accept gifts from people for no reason. It's better to keep it here first! "Mistorin was unmoved. He placed the small box on the table. He smiled and didn't say anything.
The French was really anxious. Tavone gritted his teeth. He looked around a few times. With his back to the ladies, he lowered his voice and said, "Lin, do you remember what you said to me last time? I came this time. In addition to the diamonds, King Louis also specially asked me to bring you two of the most beautiful virgins in France! They take milk baths every day. Tsk tsk. Their skin is as smooth as the silk of your China! One of them is even the sister of our empress. Even King Louis doesn't dare to touch them! "
This old pervert. How dare he seduce me with beauties! Lin Wanrong curled his lips in disdain, but his heart was beating wildly. "Brother Tavone. Don't be like this. I'm actually a very upright person! Oh. Is the sister of your empress beautiful? "
"Rumor has it that King Louis saw her. He regretted conferring her the title of empress too early. Do you think she's beautiful? "Tavone smiled mysteriously and patted the small bag in his hand." I bought a mansion in the capital. These two virgins are waiting for you inside! This is the key and the lease. Your name is written on them. The beauties and the property are all yours. It has nothing to do with us! "
He put the key together with the box containing the diamonds and looked at him eagerly. He seemed to be waiting for a reply.
Lin Wanrong chuckled dryly a few times. He shook his head and said, "Tavone, based on our friendship. What kind of bribery are you doing? That's purely looking down on me! It's not that I don't want to help, but it's really that our emperor is wise and farsighted, a hundred times better than me. What are you and your King Louis thinking? Even I can see it clearly. Don't tell me he doesn't know? You want to trade with us. Sell our cheapest goods to Europe and make a lot of money, isn't that right? "
The Frenchman stammered a few times. He was too embarrassed to speak.
"Actually, I can also say a few words in front of the emperor. It's not impossible to trade! But I can't let you earn all that money, can I? That's all the blood and sweat of our people in China. You can earn hundreds of times as soon as you change hands. Of course we feel unfair! So, we want to impose foreign trade tariffs on your ships to subsidize our people! "
"Tariffs? How much?! "Tavone stood up in fright.
"That depends on your costs and profits. The specific tax amount will be agreed upon by both sides!" Lin Wanrong smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry. Our aim is mutual benefit and win-win. We will never treat the people of China unfairly. Of course. We will not let you and King Louis lose money. Otherwise. Who would come to do business with us? Haha! "
Tavone suddenly understood. France wanted to do business with China. They had to give back to China the huge profits from the caravan's resale of China goods in proportion. There were still gold coins to be earned from this business, but it was not as profitable as before. The shrewd Chinese had clearly realized the business opportunity.
Tavone pondered for a while, then nodded with a wry smile. "Lin, your country will definitely not suffer a loss with you! As you said, China's goods plus France's caravan is a mutually beneficial trade. Tariffs are acceptable, but you can't let us lose money. Otherwise, no one will be willing to trade with you! "
"That's for sure!" Lin Wanrong laughed. "Of course you'll make a profit. Only then will you and King Louis be motivated!"
"Then can you introduce me to His Majesty the Emperor now?!"
"Oh, I can. However, I've been very interested in European culture recently! I want to send a few people to France to visit and investigate the Mechatronics and the like. About 30 people a year, and they'll come back after three to five years! Is it convenient for you to arrange reception there?! "
"That's no problem. My family runs a shipyard and a mechanical processing plant. But that cost- "
"I'll pay for it myself. Oh, they'll definitely go to see the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, and bring tourism revenue to France!"
At that time, Tavone only saw the exquisite porcelain and silk of China, and did not realize what China lacked. When he heard that Lin Wanrong was willing to pay for people to study abroad, he readily agreed.
"By the way, Brother Tavone, you brought four big ships. Are they all ironclad ships? Are there any cannons, flintlocks, or anything like that? I want to go out to sea in a few days, and I may also go to Korea on the way. It's just that I don't have a suitable ship on hand at the moment. I want to buy one from you! "
I've seen extortion. But I've never seen extortion so openly! For the reciprocal trade, for the gold coins. Tavone gritted his teeth. "Lin, what do you mean buy? Why are you talking about buying? I'll give you one. These ships are the latest products of France. Each ship is equipped with four cannons and ten guns. It's all to guard against pirates. "
Guard against pirates. But you didn't guard against me, a land robber! Lin Wanrong said shyly, "Brother Tavone, how can I do that? I'd better pay for it, lest I get reported for corruption and bribery! Ten taels of silver to buy a fully equipped ship, is that enough? I'll buy the smallest one. Money has been too tight recently. If not, I'll add another five taels of silver. I'll buy your flagship! "
Tavone was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. Fifteen taels of silver to buy my flagship? I'm afraid I can't even buy the rudder! What else could he say? If the people of China were all like this, who would dare to do business with him?
For the sake of trade, Tavone quickly took ten taels of silver from him. "Lin, I'll sell my flagship to you for ten taels of silver! But when will you introduce me to His Majesty the Emperor of your country?! "
Trade was a matter of mutual benefit. With the help of the French caravans to sell China goods. They had to make a profit. As long as the tariffs were properly controlled. The Westerners would make a small profit. The people of China could also make a lot of money. Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled. "It should be in a few days. Don't you trust my character?!"
I've seen your character! Tavone felt sad and looked at the diamonds and real estate beauties placed next to Mistorin. Although he was a little unwilling, the gift was given. How could he take it back? The most beautiful virgin and the biggest diamond were really taken advantage of that ingrate Mistorin.
He sent Tavone away. Lin Wanrong laughed happily and hugged Zhao Zheng, who was in swaddling clothes, and kissed him a few times. "Son, son. Your father bled a lot for you. Just so that you won't fall behind the Westerners in the future! Remember. You must be ruthless when doing business with them! Don't sell the best things to them cheaply. You still have to help them count the money! If that's the case. I won't recognize you even if you beat me to death! "
"Third brother, third brother. The princess's wife is calling you! "The little maid Huan 'er came in and hurriedly reported to him.
Since the two ladies were engaged to the third brother. The Xiao Family's maids and servants had long been shared with the Lin family. The four virtues, Xiao Feng, and Huan 'er were all used by him. If it were someone else. He really wasn't used to it.
"Okay, I'll go now." The third brother smiled and sent his son to the little maid's arms.
Huan 'er took it and before she could hug it, she let out a scream and her little face instantly turned red. It turned out that Zhao Zheng was hungry. When he was hugged by the maid, he thought she was a wet nurse and opened his mouth to bite her.
My son isn't a simple person either! His father was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Zheng 'er. This auntie has no milk. Let's go inside and find your mother! "
"Third brother!" Huan 'er was embarrassed and shocked. Her face turned red. She hurriedly glared at him, turned around, and ran away.
This girl was too stingy. She couldn't take a joke. He laughed mischievously and stuffed the diamond deed into his arms, then carried his son into the embroidery building.
In Qing Xuan's room, all the orioles and swallows were present. Lin Xuan was in his mother's arms, his small mouth sucking the milk, making a pita sound. Zhao Zheng was already hungry. Seeing his younger brother eating happily, he immediately burst into tears. Ning 'er hurriedly coaxed him and stuffed him into Miss Xiao's arms.
Seeing his two sons snuggling in their mother's arms, one on each side, happily sucking, Lin Wanrong smacked his lips, happy and annoyed at the same time. He snorted and said, "This is great, there's no place for me!"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the boudoir burst into laughter. Miss Xiao's cheeks were red, but she couldn't do anything to her husband. She could only roll her eyes at him, her eyes as gentle as water, "Look at you, as a father!"
Lin Wanrong glanced around. Today, there was one more person in the boudoir. She was sitting by Xiao Qingxuan's bed with her head lowered, her cheeks flushed.
He blinked and said in surprise, "Miss Xu, you're here too?!"
Xu Zhiqing grunted, not daring to raise her head. Miss Xiao smiled and said, "Sister Xu specially came to see me today. You can't be fierce to her!"
Fierce to her? Lin Wanrong's eyes widened. What did Xu girl say to Qing Xuan? When did I be fierce to her?
With Xu Zhiqing's arrogant personality, it was simply an accident that she came to see Qing Xuan first. He hurriedly looked at Miss Xu. Xu Zhiqing stole a glance at him, then shyly lowered her head.
Xiao Qingxuan stroked the hair of her two sons in her arms and smiled, "Lin Lang, I heard that you asked sister Xiao Yuruo to make clothes, but how many sets are you going to make?"
"This, this …" He stammered for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
Miss Xiao sighed softly, "Husband, how many things are you hiding from me? Do you want to hide it from me forever? "
