That night, Lin Shuo's house was very quiet.
In the past, everyone in the village was their own people, and they were not afraid of any big disturbances, and they liked to do whatever they wanted.
Not tonight, family representatives big and small in Liemen are staying here, and it would be outrageous for there to be a noise like house demolition in the chief executive's house at night.
What Anne and Dylan should have learned, they have actually learned almost the same.
After all, what Lin Shuo imparted to the two wives in the past few nights is just the way of fighting, not the way of practicing.
To practice the method to reflect the effect, it is like a drop of water, not a day's work.
The rules of play are different, as long as you have a good foundation and high comprehension, you will learn it quickly.
He slept peacefully all night with the two wives in his arms, and when Lin Shuo opened his eyes the next day, the sky was bright.
What woke Lin Shuo up was not the sunlight outside the window, but the phone by the bedside.
The caller was Lin Shuo's uncle, Lin Hechun.
"Patriarch, I'm sorry." Lin Hechun on the phone apologized first.
As soon as Lin Shuo heard this tone, he knew it in his heart.
Indeed, the wasteland in northern Europe is not so easy to buy.
It was an uninhabited tundra, a peninsula.
At present, there is no economic value on the surface, but the geographical location is very important to Northern Europe.
Moreover, the area is large, and there are many underground mineral oil and gas resources.
This piece of land belongs to Northern Europe in name, but it is Russia that can achieve actual military occupation, and the two sides often argue about this matter.
The practical significance of buying this land is to let Russia withdraw its troops and recognize that this land belongs to Northern Europe.
It's not just a matter of money. Although Lin Shuo doesn't know much about the details, he knows it's not that easy.
So it's normal that Lin Hechun couldn't do it.
Lin Shuo was about to say something to comfort his uncle, but he only heard:
"Patriarch, we agreed to finish this matter in seven days, but it took me eight days and it was overdue."
Lin Shuo froze for a moment: "Is it done?"
"It's done." Lin Hechun said on the other end of the phone, "It was settled last night. I looked at my watch and it was already eleven o'clock in the night. I didn't want to disturb the Patriarch's rest, so I just notified you now."
"Then what should I do next?"
"You don't have to do anything, just give me a day to make up for the wedding. I guarantee that the Nordic Queen and his wife at that time will sit obediently in the VIP seats."
"This..." Lin Shuo asked after hearing this tone, "Uncle Chun, you didn't use any coercive methods, did you?"
"No, no, it's nothing more than an exchange of benefits, everything is easy to negotiate."
"That's good." Lin Shuo nodded, "Then how much did the Lin family lose this time?"
"It's not a loss." Lin Hechun said, "Take it as an investment, and it will make a profit in the long run."
"Oh?" Lin Shuo was a little strange and couldn't help asking, "How did you do this?"
Lin Hechun explained: "Taking this opportunity, our Lin family took over the oil and gas mining rights on that piece of frozen soil.
The oil and gas reserves on this land are very rich.
It's just that the current international oil price is too low, and the cost of Russia's oil extraction on that piece of permafrost is too high, and it will lose money, so it can't start.
But it won't be long before the international oil price will rise immediately, and then the oil and gas exploration there will be profitable. "
"But why did the international oil price rise?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Patriarch, after I explain this to you, you won't be able to catch up with the peer alliance ceremony at noon today." Lin Hechun said with a smile, "Well, I'll give you a report later, take your time."
"No need." Lin Shuo said honestly, "I'm actually not interested in this matter, I just asked casually. I'm in charge of hunting here next door, and you can decide on business matters, Uncle Chun."
"By the way, I'll send you the official document on the equity issue of the International Strange Creatures Research Association. You must take the time to read it." Lin Hechun said, "This is actually closely related to hunting, and you still need to understand it, Patriarch. "
"Oh, I see."
"Patriarch, when will we make up the wedding?"
"It's not in a hurry, wait until I come back from Shennongjia, and I will notify you then."
"OK."
While picking up the phone, Lin Shuo was completing the movements of getting up.
The coat Lin Shuo was wearing today was made by the eldest daughter-in-law Anne from the best tailor nearby.
At first glance, it looks like a black robe, but it is actually Tuanlong embroidery.
Anne got up early today because of the peer alliance ceremony, and has already gone out.
It was Di Lan who woke up with Lin Shuo at the moment, and was helping Lin Shuo to get dressed, who was not so convenient for talking on the phone with one hand.
Lin Shuo hung up the phone and found that the princess in front of him was looking at him, as if waiting for an answer.
Lin Shuo smiled, nodded, and threw the phone on the bed.
Then he only heard Dylan cheering, and then he was thrown on the bed by this girl.
After Di Lan threw it away, Lin Shuo was forced to sleep on the bed for over an hour.
Once the spring breeze.
When I got up again, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
The time for the peer alliance ceremony was at noon, that is, starting at eleven o'clock in the morning. After Lin Shuo got up, it was less than two hours before the peer alliance ceremony was held.
Fortunately, the meeting place is not far from the house where Lin Shuo lives, and it takes only two minutes to walk there.
So he was not in a hurry, two hours for breakfast was enough.
Last night, Anne helped him prepare the food for this morning.
Half a yak.
The one or two yaks on weekdays are nothing, but with the holding of the peer alliance ceremony, there are many hunters with strong skills among the guests. In order to ensure sufficient meat supply in the cafeteria, Anne purchased a large number of livestock.
This makes yak meat, which is usually sold at a relatively high price, even more in short supply in nearby markets.
The half yak this morning, with Lin Shuo's usual consumption habits, felt a little distressed to eat.
In fact, what Anne prepared last night was a whole yak, but it was a pity that half of the yak ran away with me. Zhang Jin came last night and just walked away with half of the yak.
The meat was roasted last night, so it's easy to go back to the oven this morning.
Unlike in the mountains and forests, Lin Shuo ate this meal very slowly, chewing slowly, eating back and forth for more than an hour before it was considered over.
It was in a hurry in the mountains and forests. When I arrived at my daughter-in-law's natal home, I could naturally take care of my stomach a little bit.
Of course, half of the cow was not eaten, because if it is too full, it will be inconvenient to move around.
After breakfast, the second lady made another pot of tea to relieve her tiredness.
After eating and drinking, it was almost time. Lin Shuo walked out of the gate with his second wife, Di Lan, and walked slowly towards the meeting place of the peer alliance ceremony.
The venue for the opening ceremony of this year's Peers Alliance Ceremony is actually the grain drying field of the Su family's ancestral home.
The first-class people are loyal ministers and filial sons, and the two things are reading and farming. This is a couplet written by the Su family outside the ancestral hall.
Although this family is a hunting family, it is also a scholarly family. The hunters have passed on from generation to generation, and a batch of reading seeds have also been produced.
But the vast majority of the tribe still make a living by farming.
Because of the complex nature of the family itself, this sun-drying field has more functions.
Sacrificial sacrifices, martial arts performances, meetings, drying rice, enjoying the shade, quarrels, and beating children are all here.
All roads lead to Rome, and this grain drying field also extends in all directions. Although the roads are not big, they lead to every corner of the village.
But the way Lin Shuo walked this morning must be the right way.
So when he came out of his residence, Lin Shuo had to take a detour and walk on the road in the village first.
Then he found that both sides of the road in the village were full of members of the hunting team of the Strange Creature Research Society.
With a black suit, black tie, black sunglasses, and matching haircut, you can tell at first glance that she is not so easy to mess with.
But before he took a few steps, a team member next to him suddenly yelled out, which startled Lin Shuo:
"The boss is here!"
He was obviously a burly man with five big and three thick, his voice was as if he had worked in the palace, it was sharp and piercing, and he didn't know who trained it.
The key point is not just a single sound. Following Lin Shuo's footsteps, every time a team member passed by, the two on the left and right shouted at the same time:
"The boss is here!"
One after another, one higher than the other.
The first tone is already in the style of a great eunuch in the palace, and there is a higher tone after that.
When Lin Shuo stepped into the venue, the faces of the last two team members turned purple, and the voices they spoke were no longer tasteful.
The human flavor of the voice is gone, but the momentum is right.
With this shout, the entire venue was packed with thousands of people, and they all stood up with a bang, and clasped their fists at Lin Shuo one after another.
Lin Shuo returned the salute by cupping his fists to the left and right, while walking forward.
Di Lan was on Lin Shuo's right hand side, half a step behind, and followed closely with his head down.
The current layout of the venue is divided into three parts.
Lin Shuo is currently passing through the audience area, with the rostrum in the middle of the front.
On the left and right sides of the podium are viewing platforms.
Among them, there are nine people sitting on the viewing platform on the left, of different ages, including men and women.
Although Lin Shuo didn't know any of them, it can be known from the number of people that these are the nine heads of the Liemen Jiulong family.
As for the viewing area on the right, there are even more people, more than thirty people, all of whom are leaders from all walks of life in the sect.
The leader of the Haike League, the head of the family of assassins, the master of the Boxers Association, etc.
Lin Shuo walked to the front of the rostrum, paused for a while, first left and then right, clasping his fists to the left and right sides.
The leaders of the door on the right side looked solemn and returned the salute one after another.
As for the Liemen Nine Dragons family on the left side, the return of the salute was still sparse, and they were put down immediately after raising their hands a little, with an expression on their faces that seemed to be reluctant.
Lin Shuo could see the contrast between the two sides. With a calm expression, he stepped onto the rostrum.
Sitting on the rostrum are the heads of the six families of Liemen.
There are six chairs in total, including five armchairs and one Taishi chair.
The grand master chair in the middle belongs to Lin Shuo.
Di Lan next to Lin Shuo, according to her status as the second wife of the family, should be standing behind Lin Shuo's grand master's chair.
But at this time, she stood behind Cao Yusheng together with Cao Mian, because from now on, she was the guardian of the Cao family.
But Lin Shuo's eldest wife, Anne, sat on one of the armchairs as the head of the Su family.
As Lin Shuo took his seat on the grand teacher's chair, standing behind Lin Shuo at this moment were Zhou Lingshi and Wei Xingshan, who were regarded as disciples of the Lin family.
On Lin Shuo's right hand, sat an old woman with silver hair, who was Yun Bihua, the head of the Yun family.
Lin Shuo quickly leaned over slightly, and asked softly, "Grandma, are you still in good health?"
"Boss boss Lin is worried, I can't die in old age." The old woman replied calmly without looking sideways.
The corner of Lin Shuo's mouth twitched, and he slowly sat up straight.
"Oh, it's been more than 30 years, and the old lady is still angry?" asked Miao Tiangong on the left.
Right now behind Miao Tiangong, stood Miao Xueping and Miao Xiaoxian.
Miao Xueping cursed in a low voice: "Brother, shut up."
Miao Tiangong shrank his neck and stopped talking.
Cao Yusheng stood up from his seat at this time, walked up to Lin Shuo, and asked, "President, can we start?"
Lin Shuo nodded.
Cao Yusheng turned around and said in a clear voice, "The current Liemen Ceremony has officially begun."
