Fifty taels of silver?

When Lin Lin heard that she wanted so much money, she glared at Lin Qiong, "Why do you need so much?" Aren't you greedy for ink? Or is your uncle really a lion with a big mouth? ”

Aunt She's younger brother is an idle ruffian, when something happened, She gave her daughter to Lin Gang as a concubine for her son in exchange for some silver to pay off the debt, and broke up the marriage between Aunt She and poor Xiucai, which is also the reason why Aunt She has been depressed.

For a long time, Lin Qiong's uncle has asked Aunt She for money, which is a bottomless pit. Later, Aunt She refused to give it again, and her brother broke up the past of Aunt She and the poor and sour Xiucai when she was young to Lin Gang, Lin Gang was furious, and he never treated Aunt She well again.

Later, I found out that the mastermind behind the revelation of Aunt She's affair was Lin Bai's, and Aunt She's brother accepted Lin Bai's silver taels, this is a bastard who cares about family affection.

If it weren't for the fact that no one was available, Lin Lin would never want to have anything to do with Lin Qiong's uncle, such a person would have no credibility at all.

Lin Qiong saw her suspicious look, and immediately shouted injustice, "Heaven and earth conscience, this is not what my uncle and I want to earn, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't do this kind of thing." Cousin Lin, let me tell you, as long as the money is in place, it will be easy to do, and when we arrive at the Xiangyang Hou Mansion in the future, we are still worried that we will not be able to earn back the fifty taels of silver? ”

Lin Lin still frowned, fifty taels of silver is not a small amount, "I don't have so much money in hand, twenty taels can be ......"

"What's the use of twenty taels? My uncle said that it would be impossible to do it without fifty taels. Lin Qiong stretched out five fingers, indicating that she would not discount at all, thinking of Lin Lin's dedication to the marriage of the Ye family, she said again: "If you don't want to, that's okay, I'll go and inform my uncle, just if there is no such thing, you just wait to see Cousin Long marry into the Ye family." As soon as the words fell, she turned to leave.

"Come back." Lin Lin gritted her teeth and called this cousin, gritted her teeth and said, "Fifty taels is fifty taels, and the matter will be done for me." ”

"Of course." Lin Qiong nodded, thinking about it, she was afraid that this cousin would repay the debt, so she said: "My uncle also said that he would ask for a deposit of twenty taels of silver, and no one should be missing." ”

Lin Lin glared at her fiercely, this time she didn't bargain anymore, got up and walked to the cabinet on the side, opened the cabinet and took out a small wooden box, opened it and looked at the silver taels that were not too much inside, gritted her teeth and took out twenty taels of snowflake silver and turned around and handed it to Lin Qiong, "You can take the money, if you can't do it properly, I won't pay the rest." ”

Lin Qiong got the money and smiled and bent her eyebrows, "You can rest assured." I'm going to say hello to my uncle. With that, he turned around and left.

Lin Lin looked at her back and became angry, this Lin Qiong waited for her, one day she couldn't spare her.

As for the rest of the money, I'm afraid that she will have to pawn a part of the pearl hairpin to make up for it, and when she thinks of this, she can't help but feel distressed.

Lin Qiong got the silver taels, and hurriedly returned to the small courtyard where she lived with her biological mother, and sure enough, she saw her biological mother driving her uncle out with a broom.

She ran over in three steps and two steps, and snatched the broom from her biological mother's hand, "Auntie, your injuries are not completely healed, the doctor explained that you can't be angry and exert strength, so don't beat your uncle." ”

"It's still my niece who is sensible." Uncle She smiled angrily.

"Get out of here—" Aunt She pointed to the door and roared, this uncompetitive brother, she didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.

Uncle She was about to speak, but Lin Qiong gave him a look, and then he paced outside the courtyard gate.

After a while, Lin Qiong, who had appeased Aunt She, hurriedly came out and said to her uncle: "This is ten taels of silver, given by my cousin Lin, Ming'er, do you know what to do?" ”

Uncle She took the ten taels of snowflake silver, put it in his mouth and bit it, "Good guy, full of color." After collecting the ten taels of silver, the niece whistled, "Don't worry, your uncle and I have always been reliable, this thing is done, you will climb the high branches in the future, can you learn from your aunt and not recognize your uncle." ”

"Where did my uncle speak? My aunt doesn't know anything, how can I learn from her? Lin Qiong smiled, even if she is a ruffian, it is good to be able to use it for her.

"It's still sweet in your mouth." Uncle She turned around and wanted to leave, but after a while, he turned back again, "By the way, the remaining twenty taels of silver can't be less, I am willing, and the people outside are not willing." ”

"It's been prepared for a long time, uncle, don't worry." Lin Qiong promised, "It's late at night, my uncle is easy to go." ”

Seeing her uncle leaving, she hummed a little tune and turned around and went into the courtyard, bolted the door, and then went into the back room.

"What did you tell your uncle?" Aunt She frowned, lifted the bamboo curtain, and paced from the inner room to the outer hall.

Lin Qiong was about to put away the ten taels of silver, but when she heard her mother's voice, she hurriedly hid her hands behind her and put the net silver into her cuffs, which made her feel at ease. "I didn't say anything, I just persuaded him to change his ways, don't always make trouble for his aunt and grandmother......"

"Hmph, he won't grow a day in his life." Aunt She said coldly, her younger brother is hopeless, only Lao Ziniang will serve him as an ancestor, and she will be angry when she looks at it.

Lin Qiong naturally persuaded her mother to take a break, and when her mother entered the inner room, she went out again, found out the small urn where she hid money, put ten taels of snowflake silver into it, and smiled with satisfaction, this is private money, even her mother doesn't know about it.

Early the next morning, Ye Zhongshi got up and freshened up, deliberately chose a light gray four-piece finely embroidered finely pleated skirt, on which was put on a pine flower-colored curly grass floral pattern satin placket, which was covered with a moon-white stand-up collar jacket, combed a not complicated bun, wore a few jewelry, obliquely inserted a gold hairpin made of quite a round pearl, looked in the mirror, but also low-key, went to the temple to incense, she has always been not too ostentatious.

Putting a fine gold bracelet on the brocade, she said, "The carriage is ready?" ”

"That's it." The brocade dressed up Ye Zhong's, "Does Mrs. have breakfast or ...... first?"

"This worship of the Buddha has to be sincere, besides, I still have important things to ask, so let's go to Hanshan Temple and have a fast meal."

"Ah, slave knows."

Ye Zhong was surrounded by his subordinates and got into the carriage and drove out of the mansion, and as soon as she closed her eyes on the soft pillow made of red satin made of fine embroidery, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Opening her eyes slightly, she said unhappily, "What's wrong?" ”

Brocade got up and lifted the curtain, and after a while, he said, "Madam, Miss Lin is here." ”

"Which Lin girl?" Ye Zhong frowned.

"It's Miss Lin Long."

When Ye Zhongshi heard this, the corners of his mouth were slightly displeased, and after a while, he said, "Let her come up." ”

Brocade responded, went out to put down the footstool in person, and smiled at Lin Long: "Mrs. asked Miss Lin to come up and talk." ”

Lin Long stepped on the footstool and got into the gorgeous carriage, and whispered a thank you to the brocade, who smiled good-naturedly.

Lin Long went in with the curtain of the brocade, and saw Ye Zhongshi sitting in the center of the carriage with a stern expression, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Come to visit early in the morning, don't worry about Mrs. Wanghou......."

"If I care, won't you come?"

Hearing this, Lin Long also felt Ye Zhong's displeasure, but she didn't go to her heart, her eyebrows were slightly raised, "The little girl must be coming, otherwise she will be at peace." ”

Fortunately, she came in time and didn't miss Ye Zhong's family, but she felt uncomfortable because this matter was not done.

Ye Zhongshi snorted coldly at this time, picked up the flower cup and took a sip. "What's the matter with you?"

Lin Long took out two silver tickets from his cuffs and respectfully placed them in front of Ye Zhong's family, "Mrs. Hou, this is six thousand taels of silver, can you take a look?" ”

As soon as these words came out, even the brocade who had been lowering his eyebrows beside him raised his head, surprised that Lin Long returned the silver so quickly, and still found his wife directly.

Ye Zhong was naturally surprised, she never thought that Lin Long would come to repay the money? His eyes only glanced at the two silver tickets of three thousand taels, and soon fell back on Lin Long's body again, "Is this what you mean, or is it Brother Yao'er?" ”

Didn't her son deliberately give her money to do this play in front of him, right? It's no wonder that Ye Zhong's family has to think more, Lin Long will not have so many taels in the short term if he can make money.

"Mrs. Hou, this debt repayment is a matter of course, and the little woman is not that cheeky person." Lin Long said with a straight face: "Whether it is Mrs. Hou or Ye Gongzi, this money must be calculated clearly." ”

did not answer Ye Zhong's question positively, but showed her attitude, she did not think about the money of the Hua Ye family at this time, or to use the Ye family's money to supplement her own family.

Ye Zhong's brows wrinkled out a Sichuan character, this Lin Long was not ambiguous, but at this time, her mood was also not good, compared with Lin Long's frankness, it seemed that she was too careful.

Lin Long didn't wait for Ye Zhongshi to speak, then bowed and said: "This matter has been clarified, the little woman left first, so she won't disturb Mrs. Hou's trip." After that, he made a standard salute.

Half-bent out.

Ye Zhongshi didn't stop her, and slightly picked up the two silver tickets of three thousand taels, and her mood was even more complicated.

The brocade sent Lin Long away, and when he turned around, he saw that his wife's expression was different, and sat aside respectfully and said, "Madam, the slave and maid also know how to be polite when they look at this Lin girl." ”

"As long as you talk a lot, come on, hurry up and tell the coachman to set off, don't miss the time to meet the abbot."

"The slave will go and pass the word."

Lin Long, who was standing in place, saw Ye Zhong's carriage set off, so he was about to turn around and leave.

"Since you're here, let's come in and have breakfast together."

Hearing the cold voice behind her, she turned around suddenly, and sure enough, she saw Ye Xuyao standing behind her, when did he come?

Ye Xuyao saw her standing stunned, her brows furrowed slightly, she stepped forward and took her hand and took her to the house, early in the morning, he heard someone report that she was talking with her mother in the carriage, so he hurried over, and saw that his mother did not embarrass her, so he did not show up.

Seeing that she was leaving, he couldn't help but call her out loud, and at this time, holding her soft hair, he couldn't hide his good mood early in the morning.

Lin Long, who had been led away for a while, came back to his senses and struggled, "Don't, it's not good to be seen." ”

Ye Xuyao saw that her face was slightly red, and it looked like it was about to burn, so he let go of her hand, and his eyes were deep.

Lin Long bit his lower lip and said, "This is not appropriate, your mother is not here, this is not appropriate, Ye Gongzi, I should go back first." With that, she turned to leave.

Ye Xuyao's brows furrowed even tighter, "We are an unmarried couple, and no one will gossip when we are seen, and the people in this house ......"

Lin Long still shook his head violently, "Regardless of whether someone will gossip or not, this is not appropriate." Taking a deep breath, "Your mother already dislikes me, if she knows that I live alone with you, I'm afraid it will have a worse impression of me." ”

Ye Xuyao smiled lowly, "That's because you don't know her, if she really doesn't like you, she won't let you get into her carriage, okay, don't hesitate anymore, after breakfast, you can go." The last tone was quite unkind.

There is a taste of Lin Long refusing to try again.

Lin Long frowned, why is this person so domineering? Seeing that he was going to reach out to hold her again, she put her hand behind her back and didn't let him hold it anymore.

Ye Xuyao looked at her for a while, and took the lead to go to the house, Lin Long thought about it, and still kept up with his pace.

The two walked one after the other, without communicating again.

It's just that Lin Long didn't know that the corners of Ye Xuyao's mouth, who was walking in front, turned up slightly.

This is the first time Lin Long has come to the courtyard where Ye Xuyao lives, and she didn't look at it much, after all, men and women should not be alone, and they didn't come to follow the etiquette and religion very much, reciting what he had said that they would eventually be married for a lifetime, and it was not the best policy to be too disobedient to him.

"Set breakfast in the gazebo." Ye Xuyao said, squinting at Lin Long, isn't she afraid of people's irresponsible opinions? There are also a lot of people in the house who have broken their mouths, so they sit in the gazebo openly, and when they turn around, someone tells their relatives that there is nothing.

Lin Long glanced at the open pavilion, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over without waiting for Ye Xuyao to lead the way.

Ye Xuyao couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Bandit Jian led the maid to put the breakfast on the table, which was all after he heard that the master invited Lin Long to stay for breakfast, and specially ordered the kitchen to make some pastries that the girl's family loved to eat. In addition to the porridge and a few side dishes that must be used for the breakfast of the master, there are also all kinds of finely made and fragrant pastries on the stone table, which makes people appetize when they look at it.

Ye Xuyao glanced at the bandit who was standing bowed, but he had a lot of thoughts, and said in a low voice: "I'll give you a reward when I turn around." ”

When the bandit heard it, he was immediately happy, it was not easy to please the master's reward.

Ye Xuyao personally coerced a piece of osmanthus cake for Lin Long, "Try it." ”

Lin Long was quite surprised, he didn't look like a person who could take care of people, and he would actually give her food? "Ye Gongzi, I'll just come by myself."

Ye Xuyao's deep eyes looked at her, and he still gave her a full bowl of water, "You better eat more, this body is too thin." ”

Lin Long looked down at himself, where did he lose weight? Where the flesh should grow, the flesh grows, and where it should be thin, it is thin, and in general, her figure can be called a delicate fit.

Straightening her back slightly, she smiled: "Actually, I still have a lot of strength." ”

The mover has no intention, the viewer has a heart, Ye Xuyao suddenly saw her straight back, her upper body was concave and convex, and the roots of her ears were "brushed" red, and she had to work hard to turn her eyes away, otherwise it would be bad for Meng Lang to scare her.

"Ye Gongzi, what's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? Lin Long leaned over to look at him, why is his face red, isn't it a fever?

Ye Xuyao's nose smelled a fragrance, it was the smell from her body, the boiling blood that had been suppressed, and then it rose again, and replied quickly, "No." Later, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he said more coldly: "If you don't eat breakfast, it will be cold, and I invite you to come not to prevent me from eating." ”

Lin Long looked at him suspiciously for a long time, it was really yin and yang, he picked up the chopsticks and ate it, this Ye family's cook is really good.

Ye Xuyao drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, lifted his eyes slightly to watch her eat, and the corners of his mouth also lightly brought a smile, it was not bad to have breakfast with her like this.

When Lin Long left Ye Mansion, it was still early, so he didn't go home again, but went to the store.

As soon as she entered the store, she saw Lin Bai and Lin Yu waiting for her, and she knew that they had been here for a while.

"What's the matter with the two aunts coming over early in the morning?"

Lin Bai and Lin Yu heard Lin Long's slightly cold voice, so they stopped looking at the shop.

"I didn't see you when I sent people to the ancestral house, so we can't think about it? I'm going to do a ritual for your grandfather today, so you can come with it. Lin Bai took the lead.

Lin Long frowned, "Why didn't I hear about it before?" ”

"This is a good day to choose early in the morning, because everyone in the third room is here, maybe I haven't done things for your grandfather for a long time, so I can pray for him." Lin Yushi explained, "Each person in the house has to contribute twenty taels of silver, you are the eldest daughter of the big house, who will come forward if you don't come forward?" ”

"That's right, your third aunt is right, all three of us are going to go, didn't Brother Dong enter the academy? You are the representative of the big house. "How can the Lin Bai clan give more money? Seeing that Lin Long's shop sells a lot of rouge gouache early in the morning, this profit is really eye-catching.

Lin Long saw that they insisted, thinking that the rich marriage promised by his grandfather before his death finally fell on his head, and he should fulfill this filial piety, so he didn't bother with these two aunts, "I'll explain Uncle Nan, and I'll go with you." ”

Lin Bai and Lin Yu had no disagreement.

Lin Nan glanced at the pair of concubines and frowned slightly, "Why don't you let Aunt Nan go with you?" ”

Lin Long looked at the store and saw that there were customers again, and Uncle Guangnan couldn't be busy alone, so he shook his head, "No need, Qi'er's temperament is rushing, I'm afraid that she will talk nonsense about such a solemn thing, she doesn't have to go, I'll go back when I go." ”

After taking twenty taels of silver, she turned around and walked over and handed it to Lin Bai, "I won't push it off for my grandfather's filial piety." ”

Lin Bai took the twenty taels of silver and finally smiled.

Lin Long was not surprised. "By the way, where is the place to do things for my grandfather?"

"Hanshan Temple." Lin Yu said.

The scenery inside Hanshan Temple is pleasant, Ye Zhong didn't have the heart to look at it, but handed the two Geng stickers in his hand to the abbot, "The master will calculate for me, are the lives of these two people compatible?" Symbiosis or not? ”——
