Shoko Gaomen (15)

Lin Fanghua squinted at Lin Yutong, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old lady, "Okay." How many serious things are waiting to be busy, how can there be spare time to grind their teeth. Let's discuss the dowry of the two girls...... The Mansion will send a matchmaker to the door in the next two days......" As he spoke, he glanced at the Yun family, "You can just entertain in this matter." Dowry for two girls, this thing ......"

"Old lady......" Lin Changqing suddenly said loudly: "The dowry of the second girl has been handed over to Lin Fu Lin Shou, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Lin Fanghua immediately glanced up at Lin Changqing, and then looked at the old lady aggrievedly, what did this mean. The old lady clearly said that the dowry of the two girls became the second girl's alone when she arrived at her brother. Isn't this a plan for Duo'er at all?

Yun's heart was immediately steady. The second girl is a concubine, and she should be given a dowry. But if you give your niece a dowry, then she won't be able to get over it. Even Aunt Zhao, who was waiting on the side, didn't say a word. In the end, if this family wants to leave it to its own son, spend less, and keep more at home. Why should you bear the girl of the Qi family. The Qi family still has an uncle. Everywhere depends on the uncle, there is no such reason.

The old lady choked, and her face was a little unpleasant. She looked at the expressions of everyone in the room, and her heart was even more breathless, so she had to say: "Then I will leave my whole life to Duo'er...... Your sister is an orphan and a widow, and she has no one to rely on......"

Lin Changqing glanced at the old lady: "When there was an accident at your uncle's house, you put all your dowry into it, and you also paid 20,000 taels of silver from the family." As he spoke, he looked at Aunt Zhao who was shrunk to the side, "My cousin finally lost the little thing you gave, and almost lost my cousin to others, but our family spent three thousand taels of silver to settle the matter." What you have, what is your private property. "Just say that the things in the old lady's hands are all deducted from the public school.

"Bastard!" the old lady was shaken out, and her face suddenly couldn't go down, "I gave birth to you, but you settled accounts with me one by one." I gave birth to you, how much silver do you have to give me? I raised you, how much silver do you have to give me? You give me a careful calculation, and when the calculation is understood, we will talk. ”

This is unreasonable, and Lin Fanghua has to be subsidized.

Lin Changqing was choked up all of a sudden, how could he go on to say this? If he said it further, it would really become unfilial. When these words are spread, it is light to take the title.

Lin Yutong sneered, "When the old lady said this, there is really some truth. According to the old lady, how much is not much. It's not something that money can measure at all. According to me, I owe you what I owe you. Don't you just feel that your father owes you his life? Anyway, the family has been hollowed out by you, either subsidizing your mother's family or subsidizing your daughter. The rest of the children and grandchildren can't survive, so they have to think of a fold. Why don't you ask your father to sacrifice for his children and grandchildren, and return his life to you directly, so that when you get to Bai Ge'er, you can still leave some family property to live your life, right?"

Don't you just want to be a scoundrel? Don't you want to be a scoundrel? Let's be a scoundrel to a scoundrel.

As soon as these words came out, Yun Shi pressed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she was really afraid of accidentally laughing. Aunt Zhao glanced at Lin Yutong vaguely, how could this dead girl be like her mother, just colliding with the old lady so hard.

Lin Chang glanced at Lin Yutong in a complicated manner, usually silent, this speech is really like Gan's character. He sighed in his heart, and turned his head to look at the old lady, and when he saw her looking at the second girl, her eyes were on fire, and her lips began to tremble. quickly took over the conversation: "Old lady, you are going to force your son to death." If this family follows the old lady's wishes, the ancestral business of the family will really fail. How will the son go to see the ancestors of the Lin family in the future. Besides, my sister got married back then, and it was also ten miles of red makeup. I didn't treat her badly, she only has this one daughter now, and she gave her dowry to Duo'er to marry, isn't it enough? If my sister really can't afford to marry, I won't give my niece at all, it's my ruthlessness as an uncle. But my sister obviously has everything in her hands, and my son has three daughters to marry, so you don't know the situation at home...... The son also has to pass on what his ancestors have passed down to his son. If you really force your son, your son will not dare to be unfilial, but when the time comes, you will really have to find a crooked neck tree next to the ancestral grave and hang him. ”

"You ......" The old lady pointed at Lin Changqing with a blue face, and she really dared to threaten her. Lin Changqing got up and knelt down: "Do you want your son's life or do you want something else, you say something." ”

Seeing that things were about to freeze, he listened to Qi Duo'er answer: "Look at what Uncle said." She smiled coquettishly, looked left and right, and then stood up from behind Lin Fanghua, "Why are you still serious with your grandmother? She walked out with a smile and helped Lin Changqing up, "It's my mother who gave the silver to the old lady to collect, and I want my uncle to do it on her behalf." So saying, he looked at the old lady and asked with a smile, "Yes, grandmother." ”

The old lady looked at her granddaughter's pleading eyes, and snorted, "The palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, and I am such a ruthless mother." ”

Qi Duoer helped Lin Changqing to sit on the side, and then leaned against the old lady's side, "Okay! Don't be angry, your teeth still bite your tongue." If you are angry, hit your uncle's palm a few times to dispel your anger. ”

"My wife still has a sore hand. "The old lady has come down the stairs.

This interruption will turn things over.

The old lady touched Qi Duo'er's little face: "Don't blame me for favoring Duo'er, she is more intimate than you combined." As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Yutong as if he had nothing to do with it. The girl's family has to be like Duo'er. The second girl's temperament is as hard as her mother, and she is destined to suffer.

Lin Yuzhi said in Lin Yutong's ear: "See? This is Qi Duoer." If you really want to be a concubine with such a person, you can have a long snack. ”

Lin Yutong nodded, but held the teacup and stopped talking. I really don't have any mood to grind with this old lady. Seeing Lin Fanghua's smug gaze, she felt even more helpless. It's just that no matter how sleek you are, no matter how you know how to do things, you don't have a penny to do with yourself, okay?

Although the interruption has confused the current conflict, everyone can see that the rift between mother and son is not so easy to repair.

The meal was quite depressing, although Qi Duoer was left and right, sitting on both sides of the mother and son to coordinate, but in essence, it was the same as sticking together with glue, and with a light touch, the glue was opened again.

After eating, Lin Yutong followed Lin Yuzhi out of it, and the sisters didn't speak, so they walked all the way quietly, and when they were about to separate at the fork in the road, Lin Yuzhi still whispered: "Don't underestimate Qi Duo'er, whoever underestimates her will suffer......

After speaking, he took the girl Shi Shiran and left. Leaving Lin Yutong really couldn't understand this person's thoughts.

"Girl, let's go back. Sanxi reminded in the back, "It's cool at night......"

Lin Yutong was just about to answer, when he saw Lin Shou on the other side hurriedly coming over: "Second girl, uncle, please go to the outer study......

Looking for yourself?

Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows, she hadn't asked for more than ten years, what did she tell herself to do now? Her first reaction was that this must be related to this Ganbian concubine. Concubine Gan's sudden intervention in her marriage may have been something that Lin Chang didn't expect.

In Lin Changqing's study, there are really a lot of calligraphy and painting books, but if you want to talk about this taste, Lin Yutong shook his head, it's really not good.

She sat on the chair casually, and the tea brought by Lin Shou was useless.

After waiting for a while, Lin Changqing came in. Lin Yutong got up and owed a debt.

Lin Changqing was uncomfortable for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and then sat down, "You can sit too." ”

Lin Yutong sat down and looked at Lin Changqing: "Is there something wrong with my father?"

The corners of Lin Changqing's mouth moved, and it took a long time before he said, "...... You're old! It's like yesterday you were still in swaddling clothes, what a blink of an eye...... Your mother should be happier to see you now. As he spoke, he seemed to think of something and said, "Don't think much about this marriage." Concubine Gan ...... She won't hurt you. Don't care what others say, don't believe those words. Other people may not be suitable for the Jinguo Mansion. A few days ago, I also met this concubine of the Jinguo family, who looks good and has a good bearing. "The appearance of my own daughter, a man who really matches it, it's really hard to find. It's good to find someone to get by. "Temperament, it's also stable, nothing else, at least you can live idle days. ”

Lin Yutong heard that he had seen the fourth master, but he had this evaluation of the fourth master, and said in his heart: What kind of eyes are you.

"Over the years, I've been a ...... father," Lin Changgan looked at Lin Yutong's eyes without the slightest wave, and couldn't help sighing, "It's too late to say these things now." What do you want...... As long as I, a father, can do it, I'll find it for you. ”

Lin Yutong looked at Lin Changqing, his heart moved, and he blurted out: "I just want to know, my mother...... What the hell is going on?"

The teacup in Lin Changqing's hand fell down all of a sudden, and the tea wet the brocade robe, but he didn't care, just looked at Lin Yutong: "You really know everything...... No, how do you know?"

"The sound of my aunt and grandmother cursing in the house can overturn the house. If she doesn't have anything to do with it, how can she hate Concubine Gan so much?" Lin Yutong chuckled, "And if Concubine Gan has nothing to do with the Lin family, she will not want to find a doctor as soon as possible after the miscarriage, but force Mrs. Chu to agree to this marriage." ”

That's what I guessed.

Lin Changqing's face suddenly became heavy, "Anything else is fine except for this." Knowing this won't do you any good. ”

Lin Yutong snorted and got up: "Then father rest." I'm not interested in anything else at all. ”

"You kid, I was about to discuss the dowry with you......" Lin Changgan saw that Lin Yutong was really leaving, so he quickly stood up.

Lin Yutong shook his head: "Good men don't eat family meals, and good women don't wear wedding clothes." I don't ask too much. He said, and didn't stop there.

Although he didn't ask anything today, he could at least see that Gan's departure from the Lin family was not the fault party. Otherwise, Lin Changqing would not have thought about compensating himself, and the old lady would not be so jealous.

Knowing this, that's enough. She was really afraid that Gan would be a person who abandoned her husband and daughter in order to climb high branches. Now it seems that she is not.

The next day, the government sent the official media. The Lin family accepted the Geng post and handed over Lin Yutong's birthday, and this family matter was considered to be due.

Lin Yutong was not involved in these things. She was attracted by what Sanxi said at this time.

“…… I don't know how it came out. Anyway, it's spread everywhere. It is said that the Jinguo Mansion is building a family temple, and there is a place for the second young grandmother to eat fasting and pray for the Buddha in the future. Sanxi frowned and said: "I also said that the matter of passing the stepchild has been decided." ”

Lin Yutong said in his heart: Mrs. Chu knew that Qi Duoer was restless, and she would never say such an absolute thing. I don't know who is behind the scenes. Besides, Lin Yuzhi said, this Jin Shouren is married to the niece of Mrs. Chu's mother's family, if it really adds a lot of trouble to the niece, it is estimated that Mrs. Chu on the Chu family's side will not be able to explain.

This doesn't have any effect on me, but Qi Duo'er, this can be regarded as blocking the back road.

If he knew that he could only be widowed if he married him, would Qi Duoer dare to marry like this?

Lin Yutong's heart jumped, and for some reason, Lin Yuzhi's stubborn face suddenly appeared in his mind. She said secretly: This matter can't be calculated by this big girl behind her back.

And Lin Yuzhi looked at the empty jewelry box and smiled: "Don't look at the cost of a lot of silver, but it's worth it." ”

Chunmei was about to cry: "If you don't redeem it as soon as possible, let Mrs. know, but how can I get it." At the time of the Chinese New Year, the eldest girl and the third girl all wore them on their heads, and if you were bare, could the old lady and the lady not ask? If you really asked...... "You are fine, but the board has to hit them girls."

"I won't wait until the New Year. Lin Yuzhi chuckled.

Chunmei didn't understand what it meant, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, we won't be at home for the Chinese New Year this year. The smile on the corner of Lin Yuzhi's mouth became more and more obvious, "Not only is it not at home anymore, but those red, green, gold and silver will not be used in the future." "This marriage will definitely be before the year, if she remembers correctly, after a while, the weather will suddenly cool down, and it has not been so cold for many years. The old lady of the Jinguo Mansion couldn't stand such a climate and fell seriously ill. Not only this old lady, but also the emperor in the palace......

Therefore, this marriage has to be advanced, otherwise, the Guogong Mansion is also afraid of just meeting the national filial piety.

Lin Yuzhi's words □□ Mei was confused, but now that the box was empty, she had to lock it first.

Xia He pulled Chunmei out: "Do you want us to change some gilt outside first, so we can pretend." ”

"That thing, you can see it when you look at it. Chunmei frowned and shook her head, turned her face and said, "If you don't look for the full moon, borrow it from the second girl first." "Even if you don't use it for the Chinese New Year this year, but what about this usual? There are still three months before the New Year. You can't wear no jewelry.

Xia He hesitated for a long time and glanced inside, "I'm afraid the girl won't let me." ”

Chunmei said in her heart: It is better to call the girl Xiong than to tell the lady to know about it and beat her out. took the girl's clean up and took it out, and it could kill both of them. She gritted her teeth, "You don't care. I'll do this, and you just don't know anything. ”

That's what Xia He means. The girl obviously values Chunmei more, and she doesn't know anything about □□ Mei's private affairs. Since the girl values her, she knows the girl's secrets the most, and even if the girl blames her, it doesn't matter.

So on the night of the full moon, he whispered to Lin Yutong about the matter: "...... I'm afraid that I will report to the girl at that time, and I won't be able to □□ Mei and the eldest girl again. So he took the lead and picked out two sets of jewelry that the girl didn't often wear and lent them out. It was all purchased by the house for a few girls, and if you don't look at the small mark on it, you won't know who it is. ”

Lin Yutong nodded: "It's good." "Even the jewelry has to be worn, so Lin Yuzhi's expenses are too great. Where did all the money go? It seems that Lin Yuzhi has not stopped at all.

When Lin Yuzhi saw the jewelry and glanced at Chunmei, he didn't blame, but said: "It's okay! I don't plan to hide it from her......" With the cleverness of the second sister, I am afraid that I have already guessed my plan, but so what? No one can stop his footsteps.

Not two days after this incident, another incident happened, which made Lin Yutong's heart pwitch.

“…… Outside, it is said that Concubine Gan was not liked by the first queen, and she was not the daughter-in-law recognized by the first queen, so she had a miscarriage at the removal ceremony...... Prince Heng has been kneeling in the Fengxian Hall in the palace every day recently, saying that he is asking the ancestors and ancestors to plead guilty...... Yesterday, I wrote a book, saying that I wanted to pass the eldest son of Prince Jiduan...... The emperor was angry and wanted to give him a few palace maids, but he refused to accept it...... said yes, this is what was promised to Concubine Gan...... Moreover, he has a deep affection for Concubine Gan, and no one can intervene in ......"

Sanxi said, with some envy in his eyes: "I really want to see what kind of beauty Concubine Gan is, so that Prince Heng is infatuated." ”

Infatuation?

Lin Yutong sneered, if he really loves a woman, he won't let her become the target of public criticism, and he won't let her bear these reputations. He is infatuated, he doesn't love the country anymore, but Concubine Gan has become a disaster.

What will be the consequences if the royal family really wants to produce such a woman? It really angered the emperor, and if a cup of poisonous wine goes down, there will be nothing. If it weren't for the fact that the matter of finally asking for a stepson diverted the emperor's attention, what would have happened to Concubine Gan, it's really hard to say.

I have been a princess and a queen. But what did the fourth master do at that time?

Her hand was clenched tightly, Concubine Gan was afraid that her life in the palace would not be very smooth, right?

And the fourth master, who also heard the news, praised it in his heart. Asking for the eldest son of Prince Jiduan is really a clever move. The throne is one step closer to Prince Duan. But if the Gan family is not as favored as the outside world rumores, after this Prince Duan ascends the throne, it is really hard to say whether it is good news for himself and Tongtong.

And is Kim Sung-an, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, already on his side? If so, which side will he stand on? These are all things that will have a crucial impact on their future lives.

Just thinking about how to probe the tone, Guixi broke in: "Young master, the old lady is a little bad......
