A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Yuanzhou and Shen Yue's wedding was scheduled for the sixth day of June.

On the morning of April 28th, everyone in Prince Ning's mansion, from the master to the servants, got busy early, preparing to go to the Shen family to propose marriage.

Because Shen Yue was still in mourning, the Ning Wang Mansion kept a low profile and did not make it public. However, to show her importance, Lin Wanyin invited the eldest master of the Lin family, Lin Wanli, to Beijing to help arrange Su Yuanzhou's marriage.

At the beginning of the morning hour, the sixty loads of betrothal gifts prepared by the Ning Wang Mansion were already at the gate, waiting for the uncle's order to go to the Shen family.

Lin Wanli was dressed in a Hangzhou silk brocade robe, looking calm and elegant.

The housekeeper reminded that the auspicious time had arrived. Lin Wanli stood in front of everyone and said loudly: "The eldest wife of the Shen family is still in mourning. You don't need to smile so festively, but don't look so sad. You have to grasp the scale here."

Seeing that the servant carrying the betrothal gifts didn't understand what he was doing, he demonstrated it to him.

Everything was ready. Lin Wanli shouted "Let's go!" and the servants bent down and raised the betrothal gifts.

Lin Wanli, who was walking in front, walked out of the Ning Prince's Mansion and saw a carriage parked at the gate. The person who got off was an acquaintance.

"Going to the Shen family to propose marriage is the Su family's business, so we won't bother the Lin family."

Su Chengye got off the carriage, flicked his robe and walked in front of Lin Wanli.

Su Chengye has always been a little intimidated by this former brother-in-law.

Even though he had a noble title and Lin Wanli was just a merchant, he still seemed to be inferior to Lin Wanli.

In the past, he also tried to stand up straight in front of Lin Wanli, but the money of the Su family was given by the Lin family, and he was supported by the Lin family in building relationships, and even his ancestors were buried on the mountain of the Lin family. So in terms of momentum, he was unconsciously weaker than Lin Wanli.

But things are different now. His son became king because of his military achievements, so his worth naturally increased.

So when facing Lin Wanli today, Su Chengye secretly reminded himself that he was Su Yuanzhou's father, and the Lin family was nothing.

The words he spoke were also a bit stronger than before.

Lin Wanli raised his hand to signal the servant to stop and put down the things in his hands.

Then he raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Chengye, "What does Pingning Hou mean? My mother is my uncle, so what's wrong with an uncle marrying my nephew?"

The Lin family's business is all over the Great Zhou, all thanks to Lin Wanli's extraordinary business ability. He looks down on Su Chengye, his former brother-in-law. In the past, he still cared about his sister and treated him with courtesy. Now that his sister has divorced, he only has cold words for Su Chengye.

If he hadn't taken into consideration that he was Su Yuanzhou's biological father, he would have sent someone to throw him out.

During this period, the Su family was crowded with people. Su Chengye was flattered by his colleagues and felt a little flattered.

After hearing what Lin Wanli said, Su Chengye said seriously, "Since I'm here, I won't bother Master Lin. As a father, I'm the one who goes to propose marriage, which shows that the Su family attaches great importance to this marriage."

Lin Wanli looked at him inexplicably, "It's true that you are my father, but Yuanzhou has entrusted me to go to the Shen family to propose marriage. Please, Lord Su, move aside and don't delay the auspicious time."

Seeing this, the butler on the side stepped forward and asked Lin Wanli respectfully in a low voice, "Uncle, do you want to ask the prince to come out?"

Lin Wanli waved his hand and said, "No need."

There is no need for a nephew to intervene in this matter. A son must always respect the rules when dealing with his father. Unlike him, if he is angered, he will not be lenient towards Su Chengye.

Su Chengye was even more indignant when he saw the housekeeper of Prince Ning's Mansion being so respectful to Lin Wanli. Why did Lin Wanli show off in Prince Ning's Mansion? This was his son, not Lin Wanli's son.

"I am the father of Prince Ning. Master Lin has been refusing in every possible way. I'm afraid he is trying to get involved with Prince Ning's Mansion and make profits for the Lin family, right?"

He spoke with great righteousness, but subconsciously turned his head away and did not look at Lin Wanli.

Lin Wanli was so angry that he laughed out loud. Before he could say anything, a man's cold voice came from behind him.

"What is father making a fuss about? Uncle has an auspicious time to propose marriage. Father, do you want to ruin your son's marriage?"

Su Yuanzhou walked past the crowd and came to Lin Wanli.

When Su Chengye saw his son coming out, he quickly explained, "My son, you misunderstood. I wanted to go to the Shen family to propose marriage in person. This is also the importance that the Su family attaches to this marriage. There is no need to trouble outsiders."

Su Yuanzhou curled up the corners of his lips, showing sarcasm.

Outsider? To him, his uncle was not an outsider.

He was about to speak when Lin Wanli grabbed his sleeve and gave him a look.

Contradicting his father in public was bad for Su Yuanzhou's reputation.

He laughed heartily, "Since Marquis Pingning has this intention, I won't be polite to you."

"The matter of proposing marriage proposal will be handed over to Marquis Pingning."

Su Yuanzhou didn't understand, but since his uncle said so, he didn't interrupt.

Su Chengye's face lit up with joy. It seemed that Lin Wanli still had some concerns and didn't dare to make things too awkward.

Then Lin Wanli shouted to the servants carrying the betrothal gifts behind him, "Open all the betrothal gift boxes."

He then said to Su Chengye: "I prepared all the betrothal gifts for Yuanzhou. Since the Su family has this intention, I will not fight for it."

"The marriage of the two families is of great concern to the Emperor. Marquis Pingning is also well aware of the status of the Shen family. If the betrothal gift is too little, Yunzhou will lose face."

"Pingning Hou, please take a look at the betrothal gifts I have prepared. Just prepare them accordingly."

Lin Wanli stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, motioning Su Chengye to come forward.

As for the betrothal gifts, half of them were brought by him to support Su Yuanzhou, another part was prepared by Lin Wanyin, and the remaining small part was a reward from the emperor.

He said this to suppress Su Chengye's thoughts and make him give up.

Su Chengye didn't expect Lin Wanli to say this. It was clear that if the Su family offered a betrothal gift, they would have to prepare it themselves.

The Su family offered a betrothal gift? What did the Su family offer?

But at this time Lin Wanli was staring at him with burning eyes, and his son was also watching from the side, so he could only raise his foot and move forward.

Even though the Su family has declined over the years, Su Chengye has seen a lot of good things.

He took a few steps forward, looked at the rows of opened betrothal gift boxes, and swallowed hard.

A flower vase made of eight-treasure cloisonné enamel, a jade ruyi carved from a whole piece of warm jade, a ruby ​​headpiece the size of a pigeon egg, and out-of-print calligraphy and paintings by masters of the previous dynasty.

The betrothal gifts prepared by the Lin family were not ordinary items. There was also a full 10,000 taels of gold, which made him unable to open his eyes.

Su Chengye was sweating profusely when he saw the rest. Even if the Su family sold their ancestral home, they couldn't afford the betrothal gifts.

After all, he is Su Yuanzhou's biological father, and Lin Wanli does not want to embarrass him in such an occasion.

When the Lin family does something, they always leave room for people to maneuver unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Marquis Su may not be prepared today. In that case, leave the proposal to me."

"Although my status is not as noble as Marquis Su's, I am still Yuanzhou's uncle after all. I will do my best to handle this matter."

Lin Wanli gave Su Chengye a way out, and Su Chengye was as if he had been pardoned. He immediately said, "Master Lin is right. I will wait for good news."

Afterwards, Lin Wanli took people to the Shen family.

Su Chengye looked at Su Yuanzhou and asked aggrievedly, "Can I go in and ask for some tea?"
