Chapter 187 Mass Wedding (1)
Chapter 187 Mass Wedding (1)
Lin Xijin kept her promise. After finishing her own business, she was busy preparing the wedding for Qiuyan, Banxia and others.
Lin Xijin gathered a few people and said to them frankly: "I promised to hold a collective wedding for you. The time will be arranged after the New Year. We will go back to Shiziwo to handle it. I will give you silver according to the standard of Ye Jinlin and Chuntao's wedding. You can use the silver to buy things. I won't buy a house for you. After all, the house price in Beijing is not as high as that in Qingyuan. There will be a wedding house for you at home. After the wedding, you can move out if you want. I won't restrict you."
"Thank you, sir, for your help." Everyone was deeply moved when they saw the hundreds of silver coins in their hands.
Lin Dong, Qiu Yan, Lin Bei and He Qiumei felt that they had fallen into a lucky nest. Even the common people in Kyoto were not as rich as they were. With their usual savings, it was no problem for them to buy a small courtyard in Kyoto.
However, a few people felt that it was not necessary for the time being. Lin Dong and Qiu Yan usually lived with Lin Xijin in the East Palace, so they had no worries about food and accommodation. He Qiumei usually lived in the pharmaceutical factory. Lin Bei had been approved by Lin Xijin to be transferred there. There was food and drink in the factory, and it was very convenient to live in the pharmaceutical factory employee suite.
There is no need to worry about Zisu and Baizhi. As Murong Xu's status rises, An Yi and An Er may become the commanders of the imperial guards in the future. Good fortune is yet to come.
Banxia had already known Xingwen's secret, so she was not in a hurry at all. However, she also felt that she did not want to move out and live alone for the time being.
"Master, my son also wants to participate in the group wedding, is that okay?" Butler Cai came over at this time.
"Doesn't your son like the girl Tang Chunlan from the farm? Why don't you hold the wedding banquet in Kyoto?" Lin Xijin asked curiously.
"Young people like liveliness. They said that the two families should get together for a meal, and then the wedding will be held at Shiziwo." The housekeeper seemed a little helpless.
"Okay. Ask them to find time to come to me to collect the money for the wedding, and then we can go back to Shiziwo together."
"Thank you for your help, Master."
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of November, the day agreed with Uncle Mu Xiong to go to the county magistrate's house to propose marriage. Lin Xijin bid farewell to Murong Xu and the reluctant people and flew back to Shiziwo.
When she appeared at the top of the camphor tree again, everyone was no longer surprised. They just gathered around her and asked about her family affairs.
Lin Xijin asked housekeeper Qiu to distribute two baskets of candy and made an appointment to treat everyone to a meal when she returned for the Spring Festival, and then everyone dispersed.
The village head, clan leader and clan elders were invited back home by Lin Xijin. Uncle Mu Xiong also came soon, and everyone had breakfast together in a lively atmosphere.
"Jin'er, everyone is looking forward to your early return to make decisions." The patriarch's voice was eager.
"Let the uncles make the decision!" Lin Xijin said humbly.
"How could that be possible! You are the backbone of the group, and everyone listens to you." The clan leader said, "Now we have chosen two dates for the collective wedding, one is the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the other is the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month. Jin'er, which date do you think is more suitable?"
"Xingwen and Xingwu plan to do it together, or do you two families plan to do it on your own?" Lin Xijin wanted to know what the two families thought.
"Together, of course, together. There are two other families in the village who will also come together." The clan leader responded quickly, "When the time comes, each of them will go and bring back their brides, and we will hold the wedding together."
"Then we will choose the sixth day of the New Year, and Murong Xu can also attend. The wedding banquet will be held for three days, the fifth, sixth, and seventh days. I will be responsible for the ingredients and expenses." Lin Xijin has many young people in her family, and Xingwen and Xingwu are also her employees. She doesn't care about this little money and starts to take on a lot of responsibilities.
"That won't work. My family has to go too." The clan leader and Uncle Mu Xiong spoke at the same time.
"Okay, then you two families can add some more."
"Uncle Mu Xiong, have you prepared the personnel and betrothal gifts for tomorrow's marriage proposal?"
"We're ready. Xingwu is back. We can set off tomorrow."
Early the next morning, a string of horse-drawn carriages decorated with red and colorful ribbons came out of Shiziwo Village and rushed towards the county government office.
When they arrived at the gate of the county government, the sound of drums and music began. Thirty-six betrothal gifts were carried down from the carriage, and Lin Xijin added six more boxes, which were fully loaded and carried into the county government gate.
Li Yuze hurried out to greet them, and the people of Shiziwo Village gave him enough face. With a betrothal gift of sufficient weight, Lin Xijin and Uncle Mu Xiong personally came with the head of the village, the clan leader, and the elders to propose marriage, which made him feel very proud and he would have the capital to brag in front of his colleagues for the rest of his life.
Li Yuze bowed deeply and welcomed everyone into the county government office.
After a few rounds of tea, the wedding date and the process of welcoming the bride were agreed upon, and Li Yuze invited everyone to dine at Delicious Restaurant. But Lin Xijin asked the shopkeeper to waive the bill directly, and Li Yuze felt that he had met a noble person in his life.
"Magister Li, after Xingwu and your daughter get married, I will let Xingwu go to Jiuchang County to be in charge of the business there. Your position will also be adjusted accordingly. Are you willing?" After the meal, Lin Xijin sent away the clan leader, the head of the village and others first, and then went straight to the point to Li Yuze.
"Excuse me, Princess, are you being transferred to Jiuchang County?" Li Yuze asked carefully.
"No, I'll transfer you to Hangzhou. The prince is planning to develop Hangzhou into a tourist city, but it's still in the planning stage. If you like, I'll transfer you to Hangzhou as the prefect, and then I'll transfer the Xingwu couple to Hangzhou as stewards."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, for your kindness. Li Yuze will do his best to repay the Crown Prince and the Princess for their kindness."
"The reason why I'm telling you the truth in advance is so that you can prepare first. You have to start the development plan after you take office, and there is no time to delay. I have a Hangzhou tourism development plan here. You can take a look at it first. You can also read "The Legend of the White Snake" when you have free time. You can also send your confidants to conduct an on-site inspection to facilitate future implementation."
Li Yuze was extremely excited. He took the plan with trembling hands, not knowing what to say.
Lin Xijin ignored him. After dropping the depth charge, she left without caring how many meters of waves it caused in Li Yuze's heart.
After arranging the group wedding, Lin Xijin went to Qingyuan Medical College to attend two days of courses before flying back to Kyoto.
Qingyuan - Kyoto - Jiuchang became the iron triangle that bound Lin Xijin during this period, like a large magnetic field that attracted her and allowed her to move around in it.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year and the Imperial College was on winter vacation. After the New Year's Eve, Lin Xijin asked Xingwen to take everyone back to Shiziwo first. Lin Dong, Lin Bei, Anyi, Anyi and others accompanied them as guards, and a group of secret guards protected them secretly.
She, Murong Xu and Xin Lan could only celebrate the New Year in the palace and go back on the first night of the new year.
"Sister, you, brother-in-law, and Sister Lanlan should go home early. An An will miss you." An An, this little warm boy, is always radiating warmth.
"It will be quick. We can go back after you return home for three days." Lin Xijin comforted.
Ye Jinlin and Chuntao stayed behind in Kyoto. Originally, they could have gone back, but Chuntao was already nine months pregnant and her due date was approaching, so it was better not to take any risks.
The days at the end of the year were particularly busy. I received and returned gifts, gave gifts to the important people in the palace, and prepared palace banquets with the Queen. I was very busy.
When everything was over, on the evening of New Year's Day, Murong Xu and Lin Xijin asked for leave from the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and took Xin Lan with them, out of the city gate of Kyoto and to the farm in the suburbs.
Lin Xijin set out a table for dinner, and the three of them started eating. Xin Lan was a little anxious: "Sister, when are we leaving?"
"Let's go after eating. Come, have a glass of orange juice." Lin Xijin poured a glass of orange juice for Xin Lan.
Little did she know that Xin Lan dozed off before she had finished her meal. Lin Xijin moved her into the space, and she and Murong Xu continued in their own world.
