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

Lin Wuchen was still holding the wine jug in his hand. After hearing Xue Yuan's words, he stopped pouring the wine and stood there frozen.

Seeing that the wine jug was about to slip out of his hand, Lin Wuchen subconsciously grabbed it tightly and placed it on the table.

Xue Yuan was still talking, probably explaining why he could not forget Su Shunci and that was why he wanted to ask Lin Wuchen to propose marriage.

Lin Wuchen heard every word Xue Yuan said.

But every sentence was like a sharp blade, opening up his already bloody wounds again.

Seeing that Lin Wuchen didn't say anything, Xue Yuan raised his head and looked at him.

At this moment, Lin Wuchen had come back to his senses and his expression had returned to normal.

"My dear brother...are you sincere?" Lin Wuchen asked this question expressionlessly.

Xue Yuan hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, I am sincere. That day at the wine table, I felt that this Fourth Miss Su was different from the others."

"To be honest with you, Brother Lin, I have been thinking about this matter these past few days, and I am sure that I am sincere."

What Xue Yuan said was not entirely false. He decided to marry Su Shunci not only because Bai Youxin analyzed the pros and cons for him, but also because he liked and admired Su Shunci.

Three parts false and seven parts true, so Lin Wuchen didn't see anything wrong.

Lin Wuchen suddenly felt envious, envious of Xue Yuan's ability to speak his mind openly.

Seeing that he was stunned and didn't say anything, Xue Yuan asked: "What do you think, Brother Lin? Are you willing to help?"

Lin Wuchen's mind was particularly clear at this time, and he said, "Let me think about it."

When he said he would think about it, he was not just trying to fool Xue Yuan; he was really thinking about it.

From the Xue family's business, the character of the Xue family's elders, to Xue Yuan's personality, Lin Wuchen went over them all in his mind.

No matter whether it was family background or character and talent, he really could not find any fault with the Xue family and Xue Yuan.

He had thought a lot about Su Shunci's marriage in the past few days. With the current status of the Ning Palace and the relationship between the Shen family and Su Shunci, it was not impossible for Su Shunci to marry into a powerful family in the capital.

But the prerequisite is that she must give up her business and must not be as ostentatious as she is now.

If he really likes her, it's fine. But I'm afraid that he is also attracted by the power behind her. Her past as a businessman will become a reason for her in-laws to look down on her.

Just like my aunt, even though she supported the Su family with business and dowry, in the eyes of the Su family, her identity as a businessman was still not presentable.

He saw clearly how his aunt had survived all these years, so he made up his mind not to let Ah Ci repeat his aunt's old path.

Based on his understanding of Ah Ci, she would not be willing to give up her business. So marrying into a merchant family might be the best choice for Ah Ci.

Xue Yuan looked at Lin Wuchen in confusion, wondering if Lin Wuchen's reaction was too big. Why did it seem like he was asking to marry the daughter of the Lin family?

She's not my cousin, why do I need to think about it for so long? In his opinion, this is just a matter of matchmaking.

Whether it will succeed or not, doesn’t it also depend on what the old princess of Prince Ning’s Mansion says?

But Xue Yuan needed help from someone, so he naturally had a asking attitude and did not rush him.

After a long while, Lin Wuchen finally said, "I have a condition. If you agree, I will go to Prince Ning's mansion to ask for you."

Xue Yuan was staring at the blue bricks on the ground in a daze at this time. Only after Lin Wuchen finished speaking did he collect his messy thoughts.

"Conditions? What conditions?"

Lin Wuchen still wants to act like a matchmaker and collect some money?

Xue Yuan shook his head again, and his mind became clearer. He guessed that Lin Wuchen wanted to repay the favor and ask the Xue family to do something for him.

Thinking of this, Xue Yuan quickly said, "Just tell me. As long as the Xue family can do it, I will agree to it."

Lin Wuchen looked solemn and said, "If Prince Ning's Mansion agrees to this marriage, the Xue family must allow her to continue running her own business after the marriage. And all these businesses are her private property and have nothing to do with the Xue family or you, Young Master Xue."

The Great Zhou Law stipulates that women are not allowed to have private property before they get married, so Huajin Pavilion is still under Su Qingyu's name. When Su Shunci gets married, all the money she earned before will become her dowry.

But Su Shunci not only had a dowry, she also had a shipping business.

If most families knew that the new bride had a business as part of her dowry, they would let the bride run it herself, and the money she earned would be her own money.

But the shipping business can easily bring in millions of taels of profit, who wouldn't be jealous? Merchants value profit and have many tricks, so it's not impossible to take over this business with a few years of planning.

Xue Yuan was stunned for a moment, and did not say whether he agreed or not. Instead, he asked Lin Wuchen, "Brother Lin, why did you think of saying this? Let me ask you one more question. If it were you, would you be able to do it?"

What if Su Shunci married into the Lin family? Would Lin Wuchen really allow her to turn all these businesses into private property?

Lin Wuchen replied neatly, "I can."

Because this was what he had thought of a long time ago and he never wavered.

These businesses and money are Aci's way out.

Xue Yuan thought about it, nodded and said, "I agree, I can write a document as proof."

Seeing Xue Yuan agreed, Lin Wuchen continued, "I will go to Prince Ning's Mansion later and write you a reply tomorrow."

After the two men agreed on this, they continued drinking.

Lin Wuchen drank absentmindedly. After pouring two more bowls, he made an excuse that he had something to do and sent Xue Yuan away.

After Xue Yuan left, Lin Wuchen ordered the servant at the door, "Prepare a bowl of hangover soup."

He went to wash his face, then returned to the study and found the piano that he hadn't touched for a long time.

The piece he played today was "Autumn Wind Lyrics". With just two light pluckings of his fingers, the melody flowed out from the gaps between the strings.

He played casually, but his whole body seemed to blend into the music.

The servant who was making sobering soup wrinkled his nose. Why did he feel so uncomfortable after listening to the song sung by the Third Young Master today?

He didn't understand the music, he just knew that after listening to it he missed his engaged cousin even more.

Lin Wuchen played this piece of music for nearly half an hour before he stopped, and he himself didn't know how many times he had played it.

When he stopped, he found a wet spot on the piano table. He raised his sleeve and wiped the corner of his eye casually.

There was a knock at the door, "Third Young Master, the hangover soup is ready."

"Come in." Lin Wuchen said lightly.

After the servant put down the sobering soup, Lin Wuchen took it and drank it all.

Then he looked at the time and said, "Prepare the car and go to Prince Ning's Mansion."

Soon, the carriage arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion.

There was no need for Lin Wuchen to inform others when he went to Prince Ning's Mansion.

The people below led him to the Plum Garden where Lin Wanyin lived, and sent someone to inform the old princess in advance.

When Lin Wuchen arrived at the Plum Garden Hall, Lin Wanyin was already waiting for him.

"Why do you look thinner? Have you been busy with business these days and haven't eaten well?" Lin Wanyin asked with a frown as Lin Wuchen walked in.

She cared about Lin Wuchen as much as she cared about her own children.

Lin Wuchen bowed to his aunt, and then comforted her: "I am a little busy, aunt, don't worry."

After he sat down, Lin Wanyin said, "Have dinner here tonight. I'll ask someone to cook you some dishes you like. No matter how busy you are, you have to eat well. You are young, you can't ruin your health."

Lin Wuchen forced a smile and said, "From now on, I will come to eat here every now and then, so that you don't have to worry about me."

Lin Wanyin glared at him and said, "I wish you could come every day, but you're so busy that I can hardly see you."

"Don't even mention you. Even when Ah Ci is busy, I can't see anyone."

When Lin Wanyin mentioned Ah Ci, Lin Wuchen took the opportunity to talk about business.

"I came here today to talk to you about Ah Ci's marriage. Someone asked me to arrange a marriage, so I came to ask you what you think."
