Lin Qing stared dumbfounded at the room full of matchmakers and Wang Yan, who was obviously impatient at the head seat, and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing Lin Qing coming in, Wang Yan's eyes lit up immediately, she got up quickly, and was about to walk towards Lin Qing.
But who would have thought that before Wang Yan could take a step, the matchmakers in the room would rush over when they saw Lin Qing, as if they saw a big piece of fat, and immediately surrounded Lin Qing, chattering says:
"Master Lin, the younger one is a matchmaker sent by the Li Mansion in the south of the city. I congratulate Mr. Lin on his happy spring. I heard that Mr. Lin's family has a serious family style, and that your son is facing the wind from a beautiful tree, so I'm here"
"Master Lin, my family is Wang Matchmaker. This time, my family is ordered by Master Zhang to come as a matchmaker. My Master Zhang is"
"Master Lin, I am a woman, and I am here this time because"
"Master Lin"
"Master Lin"
Lin Qing got a headache from being yelled at, and suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"
The matchmakers who were chattering all over the place suddenly fell silent when they heard Lin Qing's scolding.
Taking advantage of the silence of the matchmakers, Lin Qing hurriedly said: "Thank you, matchmakers, for your concern. The dog Lin Huan has already made a marriage, and it is the girl from the family of Mr. Qi, the Minister of the Ministry of War. I accept it with all my heart."
Lin Qing originally thought that it would be fine to talk about the matter, but unexpectedly there was a commotion in the crowd, a matchmaker squeezed over first, and said with a smile: "Master Lin, my family is the king's matchmaker. The matter of the marriage contract is said, and the servants and others also know about it."
After hearing this, Lin Qing said, "Since you know, why do you still talk about matchmaking?"
Matchmaker Wang said flatteringly: "Master Ling is only the first wife. Apart from his daughter-in-law, Mr. Zhang also has a concubine daughter, who is also a stunning beauty who can be a good concubine. Don't you think about it for Young Master Ling? "
The matchmakers next to them also immediately talked about the concubine in the family they wanted to match.
After hearing this, Lin Qing was speechless. She originally wanted to use the concubine as a matchmaker. When she heard that there was a marriage contract and the position of first wife was gone, she immediately took out the alternate concubine and asked if she wanted to take a concubine?
Seeing that they were still chattering, Lin Qing said directly and loudly: "Okay, matchmakers, the Lin family has family rules, no concubines are allowed before thirty, for any reason, you don't need to say anything, come here, please matchmakers go out."
Xiao Lin was waiting by the side, and when he heard Lin Qing's order, he immediately asked several women to drag the matchmakers out halfway. Lin Qing looked at the empty room and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only now did Wang Yan have time to walk up to Lin Qing and help Lin Qing take off his official uniform. Seeing that Lin Qing had a headache, she helped Lin Qing massage his temples.
Lin Qing held Wang Yan's hand, pulled Wang Yan to a seat next to her and sat down, and said, "These are all matchmakers sent by someone's family. How could the woman be so rushing?"
Wang Yan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lin Qing, then handed the post next to it to Lin Qing, saying: "When they first came, when they said kisses to the daughters-in-law of these families, they really did. I took the initiative to say it, but it was just to praise how gentle and virtuous the girls in the mansion are, but when the concubine said that Huan'er had a marriage contract, and they changed their tune and said that they were concubines, they were so rushing. I just watched the second half of it, the concubine's daughters are precious, and it's these concubines who are worthless!"
Lin Qing picked up the posts and flipped through them, and found that these posts were from some aristocratic families in the capital. Hearing what Wang Yan said, he suddenly realized.
For the daughters of the major families, this is to be used for marriage. Marriage is good for the two surnames, so each family attaches great importance to the daughters, especially the eldest daughters, after all, this will belong to the family in the future. help.
But for concubines, to be honest, the concubines of the major families are really worthless. After all, there are so many concubines in a family. It is said that if you grab a handful, if you have too much, it will be worthless.
Compared with the daughters of the prostitutes who can marry the sons of the right family, the daughters of the concubines can generally only marry the sons of the concubines, give them as concubines, or marry at a low level. And most families, for the sake of profit, give the concubine daughter to the concubine. After all, the status of the concubine is better, and it will be more profitable in the future.
After those matchmakers said that the matchmaking failed, they wanted to pimp and send a concubine daughter. Since they were sending concubines, they were naturally in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Lin Qing said, "These matchmakers are also well fed!"
Wang Yan said with a smile on the side: "Who says it's okay for people to eat enough to support themselves? The matchmaker relies on matchmaking for food. When she sees that your son is engaged, it can't be done. They don't immediately switch to sending concubines. If this It's done, people can get a copy when they go backIn order to maintain this relationship, you need to move around frequently. Wenhui and banquets are the common methods to draw in the relationship. But this is a matter of mutual benefit, so Lin Qing is more supportive, and when Lin Huan said that he went to the literary society, he didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that Lin Qing had just come back, Lin Huan knew that this was not the time to pay off, so he asked, "Where did Dad go?"
Lin Qing said with a smile: "I just went to your father-in-law's house to see your daughter-in-law come back."
After hearing this, Lin Huan hurriedly said: "Father, you have gone to Qi's house, why don't you take your son with you?"
"You were not at home at the time," Lin Qing said with a smile: "Why, I want to see the girl from the Qi family, don't worry, even if you go, they will not let you see, you two are not sure yet, how can they let you go?" See you."
Lin Huan curled his lips when he heard this, and said: "Mother can see you, father can see you, but I can't see you!"
Lin Qing looked at Lin Huan with a smile, and said, "Whoever told you that you want to marry a wife, if you want to marry a wife, you have to hold back, haha." Lin Qing walked into the house after speaking.
