Vol 6 Chapter 5: big party
"Father." The young man helped Lin Jingzhi off, and the carriage drove away from them to the empty parking space.
Lin Jingzhi looked around, and said earnestly: "Today's imperial banquet is the emperor's kindness, so you must come, but you two don't have to be too cautious, but don't make trouble with publicity." Lin Jingzhi earnestly instructed the young man in front of him, his The eldest son Lin Shulun.
"My child knows." Lin Shulun also had the same serious and steady expression as Lin Jingzhi, with every gesture, calm and gentle.
"Take care of your sister." Lin Jingzhi looked at Lin Shiyue, who was next to Lin Shulun, who was attending this kind of gathering for the first time, and there was still a bit of worry in his eyes as a father.
Today there are a lot of people, although they are not of the three religions or nine schools, but the quality of officials in the DPRK and China is uneven. Their children naturally follow their parents. There are also simple people, but most of them have ulterior motives. Don't look at the age of boys and girls, he Lin Jingzhi also knows the truth that children should not be underestimated.
My own daughter knows it by heart. Lin Shiyue was well-behaved and sensible since she was a child. Lin Jingzhi let her learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the Xiangfu, and she rarely stepped out of the Xiangfu.
This time he suddenly came to attend such a grand banquet, Lin Jingzhi felt a little more worried, because he cherished his daughter Lin Shiyue.
He asked Lin Shulun to watch, and at the same time told those dudes in the court not to approach Shiyue.
But Lin Jingzhi also had other plans. Daughter Shiyue is always going to get married. Today is the time to choose a son-in-law for Lin Shiyue, and see if there is a son of a colleague in the court who is suitable for Yue'er.
Lin Jingzhi was indifferent to fame and wealth, and never thought of letting his daughter enter the palace. He didn't know how envious Fu Kun was for him, so he almost asked Fu Mingrui to marry Duanmu Qingchen in disguise.
Don't say that Lin Jingzhi is unwilling, his wife is even more unwilling. She didn't want Shiyue to enter the palace gate, and it was difficult to see each other ever since. I don't even want to let my precious daughter enter the harem where there are intrigues, how should my innocent and kind daughter survive?
In the end, both Lin Jingzhi and his wife believed that entering the palace meant suffering, and they would rather Shiyue marry an ordinary family, so that they could live a simple life and gain small happiness in their ordinary life.
Lin Jingzhi frowned slightly, his expression could not hide his worry, he looked at Lin Shiyue seriously: "Shiyue, today you have to keep a low profile and keep your mouth shut. If your highnesses come, don't get too close to it." Lin Jingzhi Jingzhi believes that his daughter will not intentionally please His Royal Highness, but after all, it is his daughter's family, and he always has a little curiosity and longing for His Royal Highness and other highnesses.
Besides, what made Lin Jingzhi even more worried was that the prince really had a charming face, and he was not sure whether his daughter could withstand Duanmu Qingchen's charm.
Lin Shiyue lowered her face, blushing slightly: "Father, what kind of woman do you think your daughter is?"
When Lin Jingzhi heard Lin Shiyue's words, he finally felt a little relieved. He looked at his son Lin Shulun again, still wanting to give some instructions.
Bie's family was overwhelmed to participate in His Highness's "concubine selection" meeting, but this right-hand minister was always worrying about the sky, and lacked his usual calmness and composure that he would not be surprised even if Mount Tai was overwhelmed.
"Shu Lun, the princess is too young, so it's not suitable for you." Lin Jingzhi's words were obvious, our family doesn't want a princess as a daughter-in-law, so don't make a fuss, come here to eat well, drink well, and take good care of your sister. This is the main purpose of your coming as my son.
Lin Shulun nodded and smiled lightly: "Father, please don't worry, the princess may not be interested in the child." Lin Shulun also explained that he would not chase the princess.
The father and son looked at each other and nodded. There was a tacit understanding between the father and the son. Their family still likes gentle and quiet girls, like that kind of savage little princess who came back with a cannonball when married. The emperor's daughter can't afford to offend.
Just then, the intersection became commotion.
The passers-by looked at the intersection one after another, it turned out that it was General Yuchi who came with a team of men and horses!
All the officials in the court came in carriages, only the family of old general Yuchi came here on horseback, they were exceptionally heroic and majestic.
But seeing the old general Yuchi who is in the lead, he has a childlike face, he is always strong!
Other families have at most three or four children. And he is a long list! It's like a long string of hens with chicks.
General Yuchi's youngest son, Yuchi Jingbei, was only 18 years old, and he was born when he was 60 years old! Therefore, his youngest son and several of his grandsons, who are as old as granddaughters, have not yet married.
And the eldest grandson of General Yuchi has become a great-grandson, and this little great-grandson should call Yuchi Jingbei his uncle. Yuchi Jingbei himself has not yet married a wife, but he has already become a grandfather.
Not to mention, the thing about giving birth to a baby is that civil servants can't give birth to military officials. Don't look at Fu Kun's age is much younger than the old general Yuchi, but if he is allowed to give birth now, he will not be able to give birth.
Now that the world is peaceful, these military generals are free at home, so they will have more children to strengthen their family power. This is not that they want to threaten other forces in the DPRK, but that once a war is fought, it is they who are born and die.
"It's old general Yuchi." Lin Shulun said quietly, with admiration and reverence already showing in his eyes.
Lin Jingzhi smiled slightly, looked at Lin Shulun and Lin Shiyue: "You come with me." After Lin Jingzhi said that, he walked towards the old general Yuchi and his pedestrians.
"Old General Yuchi."
"Old General Yuchi."
Old General Yuchi came all the way, and the officials on both sides brought their children to salute one after another. Boys and girls couldn't help but secretly watch the demeanor of Yuchi's children.
Both men and women in Yuchi's family ride on horses. Young children are fierce and fierce, and young girls are even more unyielding to men. This group of people stands out from the crowd, outshining others!
The young men of Yuchi's family quickly attracted the attention of the girls. The girls shyly showed their admiration. Who wouldn't want to marry a handsome and strong major general with both civil and military skills?
Old General Yuchi was almost eighty years old, but his eyes were still burning brightly, and he saw Lin Jingzhi approaching slowly from afar, and got off his horse immediately.
The children and grandchildren behind him saw Yuchi Gongshan dismounting, and they also dismounted one after another. The guards at the side stepped forward and took away their horses. It was another cavalry team!
"Hahaha, Lord Right, this old man is still looking for you." Yuchi Gongshan also greeted Lin Jingzhi. Needless to say, among all the military officials in the court, Chinese and Chinese, he likes the right Xianglin Jingzhi who is indifferent to fame and wealth and works hard.
Moreover, he is also a grand tutor, so he has both ability and political integrity. His child must be well-educated, dignified and virtuous. Today, Yuchi Gongshan specially brought all the unmarried children and grandchildren of the whole family here, just to see if he could become in-laws with Lin Jingzhi. He has many descendants. Today, whether it is the prince, prince or princess, or the right minister's young lady, he will give them all.
