Chapter 48: To give or not to give
(Changed in the middle of the night.) )
Xu Han looked at An's dowry silently, and Lin Liangchen called him, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Liangchen looked at him funny, "What do you think?" ”
Xu Han twisted his eyebrows, "It's nothing." ”
Lin Liangchen stared at Xu Han for a moment, "Why don't you go back first, I'll come here?" ”
Different from Lin Liangchen's excitement, Xu Han's compassion for Lin Liangchen was in his eyes, and he estimated that Xu Han was uncomfortable.
"Let's go, I'll come here." Lin Liangchen had a begging meaning, which made Xu Han stunned.
Nodding his head and agreeing, Lin Liangchen smiled lightly, and watched Xu Han leave, and as soon as Xu Han left, Lin Liangchen accelerated the speed of the inspection, and was inspecting, when an ancient bottle was thrown to the ground by a girl.
This sound scared Lin Liangchen half to death, and when he turned to look, a little girl knelt next to the bottle, and kept telling Lin Liangchen about her crimes.
"I'm sorry Grandma, the slave didn't mean it, the slave and the maid tripped a little, just"
What to say, Lin Liangchen fully understood, but An's dowry, whether it was for her or Xu Han, was a very precious thing, and it was broken by a girl at this moment, and her brows were furrowed, "Frizzy, what do you look like, give me out." ”
The little girl was frightened, "Grandma Da Shao"
Lin Liangchen's eyes swept away, and the steward who followed Lin Liangchen immediately asked the two little girls to drive people out.
The ancient bottle, Lin Liangchen didn't understand it very much, and when the housekeeper came back, he said, "Mother Xu." You put this bottle away, go back and take it out and ask, are there any places in the capital that can restore this bottle. ”
"Yes. Big young grandmother. ”
In addition to the porcelain, there were countless jade ornaments and agate, and after confirming that there was no major problem, Lin Liangchen asked the little servants to carry them back to Biqin Garden one by one.
Xu is not suitable for moving things today, and when the box was back to Biqin Garden, the rope broke, and there was a bang. The contents of the box fell to the ground, and the contents also fell out.
It happened that Lu Shi was passing by Biqin Garden, and he was startled when he heard the sound. Turning his head and hurriedly looking, his eyes flickered several times at the things in this place.
opened her mouth wide and said to Lin Liangchen: "Sister-in-law, you are"
Lin Liangchen scolded the two little guys several times with a dark face. There was no sound. Lu Shi didn't know the reason, so he said with a lot of mouth: "Sister-in-law, did you buy those things?" ”
Lu Shi asked worriedly, Lin Liangchen's face became even more ugly, and Lu Shi continued: "Sister-in-law, Brother and Sister Rong, I shouldn't say something, most of your things are fake." I think you've been scammed. ”
Out of kindness, Lu Shi said what he was curious about.
Lin Liangchen looked at the Lu family suspiciously. Lu Shi thought that he had said the wrong thing, so he shut up and explained in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't blame me for talking too much, these things are sold in the shop that my mother's family gave me."
Lin Liangchen's eyes became deep, "Really? ”
"I know what I'm selling in my shop." Lin Liangchen sneered a few times in his heart, and after thanking the Lu family, he asked people to carry these things back to the courtyard, and in the afternoon, he asked the shopkeeper with a unique vision and knowledge of the goods to identify all the things in An's dowry.
Sure enough, as Lin Liangchen thought, after so many years of hard work, the Yu family had already changed the priceless dowry of the An family, and there were only a few very inconspicuous things, and the Yu family did not move.
Hearing this, Lin Liangchen didn't slow down for a long time, and told the shopkeeper, "Don't reveal this matter, don't reveal it." ”
"Don't worry, I will rot in my stomach about this matter, and I will never reveal it to outsiders."
After a night, on the second day, Lin Liangchen directly moved all the dowries of An's family to Xu Yingyong's yard, and after putting it down, he felt that people were leaving.
Xu Yingyong came together, and when he saw boxes of things in front of the house, he felt very strange, and called Xiaocao to ask, Xiaocao said: "General Hui, these things were moved by the young grandmother early in the morning." ”
"My daughter-in-law moved here?" Xu Yingyong was confused, "But what did you say?" ”
Xiaocao shook her head, "Grandma left something and left, and didn't say anything." ”
"You go and invite the eldest and youngest grandmother, and I'll ask her."
"Yes, General."
Xiaocao invited Lin Liangchen to come, Lin Liangchen directly handed An's dowry list to Xu Yingyong, he didn't dare to say anything, Xu Yingyong became more and more strange, let people open the cage, check it, and saw that the things inside had been replaced, picked up one of the jade bottles, and went to find Yu's in a hurry.
At this time in the morning, the Yu family was enjoying breakfast, and when Xu Yingyong came in, the Yu family was drinking blood swallow porridge, "Yu family, look at the good things you have done!" ”
As soon as Xu Yingyong rushed in, he directly put the jade bottle in his hand in front of Yu's family, Yu's eyes turned, his eyes looked at Xu Yingyong lightly, and he said slowly: "The general can dine?" ”
moved his eyelids, and instructed Lai Pozi to add dishes and chopsticks to Xu Yingyong, "What to eat, you quickly explain to me, what is going on with this bottle, don't tell me, this jade bottle is like this, I sue you, I'm not easy to fool." Xu Yingyong directly drank Lai Pozi and questioned Yu on the spot.
"The general doesn't eat, Lai's mother, you don't have to add dishes and chopsticks."
Yu's reaction was simply not to put Xu Yingyong in his eyes, the angry Xu Yingying lifted the table on the spot, and the porridge and snacks on the table were sprinkled with Yu's body, Yu's screamed in fright, and stared at Xu Yingyong very angrily, "The general doesn't need breakfast, why is this move now?" ”
"You still ask me why I" Xu Yingyong wanted to do it again.
Lin Liangchen came in, "Old general! ”
As soon as Lin Liangchen appeared, Xu Yingyong took his hand back.
On that side, the Yu family was helped into the house by Lai Pozi to change clothes, and as soon as the Yu family left, Xu Yingyong also muttered and followed in.
When Yu came out, Yu's face was very unpleasant. Lin Liangchen estimated that Xu Yingyong had already questioned her, and he didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked about An's dowry. Yu stared at Lin Liangchen without speaking, Lin Liangchen glared back without showing weakness, his eyes were even more fierce than Yu's.
The eyes of the two fought in the air, and the Yu family was defeated, and said in a bad tone: "Nian'an's daughter-in-law, do you suspect that I will replace Nian'an's dowry?" ”
Lin Liangchen raised his eyebrows, "I didn't say that, I just want to know." Where did my mother-in-law's dowry go, as far as I know, since my mother-in-law passed away. There has been no theft or fire in the house, and since there has never been a dowry, why are these dowries missing. And all from good things to bad products? ”
Hearing Lin Liangchen's words. Yu's face was ugly, and his face was blue and red for a while.
Secretly hummed in his heart Lin Liangchen was shrewd, scolded for a while, and forced himself to hold up his spirit and said: "I have those things"
"What are you, Yu Shi, don't forget, you promised in front of me at the beginning, if it weren't for your guarantee. Will I fall out with Lu Guogong and not let him take the dowry? ”
Xu Yingyong spoke impulsively. Lin Liangchen stared at Xu Yingyong several times meaningfully, it turned out, but it was because of the Yu family, so the late Lu Guogong did not get the dowry of the An family.
Xu Yingying reacted, and knew that he had said something terrible in front of Lin Liangchen, and opened his mouth, "Daughter-in-law, listen to me, this matter is definitely not what I just said." ”
Yu sneered, "The general is really courageous, he did things by himself, and now he doesn't dare to admit it." ”
Xu Yingyong was furious, "You shut up for me." ”
Yu pursed his lips and didn't speak, Xu Yingyong explained to Lin Liangchen: "What I said just now, daughter-in-law, don't tell Nian An." ”
Lin Liangchen was silent, "Madam, you haven't given me an explanation yet." ”
Yu secretly complained, but his face pretended to be calm, "Nian'an's daughter-in-law, what do you want?" Nian Anniang's dowry, I really haven't touched it, if you don't believe it, you find someone to check"
Lin Liangchen moved his eyebrows, took out a booklet in his sleeve, and said slowly, "In the seventeenth year of the Tianjin Dynasty, on the fifth day of the seventh month, Ru Fangzhai received a famous painting, worth 10,000 taels, and on the 20th of July, Ru Fangzhai received it."
There are all kinds of information, such information, Lin Liangchen read no less than ten, and the more Xu Yingying listened, the green tendons on his face were about to burst out.
Yu's lips began to tremble, if he hadn't tried to restrain his feelings, I am afraid that he would have gone away by this time.
Lin Liangchen didn't seem to see the ugliness of the two of them, and read for half an hour, and then finished reading the booklet in his hand, "Madame, is there anything else to say?" According to Ru Fangzhai's shopkeeper's recollection, over the years, it has been sold by one person, Lai's mother, am I right? ”
Lin Liangchen's eyes like a snake and scorpion, like an invisible big hand, tightly choked Lai Pozi's throat, making Lai Pozi unable to say a word.
"Me"
"Mother Lai doesn't have to be in a hurry to justify, and Mrs. don't be in a hurry to get angry, it's a family after all, and I won't poke this thing out, after all, it's not good for my own reputation to spread it, but these dowries from my mother-in-law" Lin Liangchen's eyes rolled, "I don't know Madame, when will we give us husband and wife?" ”
Before Yu could speak, Lin Liangchen muttered to himself: "I don't know, what happened to the shops that Madam helped my mother-in-law keep."
"Madam, if you can, bother you, give me the deed of my mother-in-law's estate, and after I have dealt with those stewards, I will ask Madame again for the dowry and the silver earned by the shop in the past ten years."
With a snort, Yu heard the sound of himself vomiting blood.
Seeing that Lin Liangchen was smiling so harmlessly now, the Yu family had the intention of killing Lin Liangchen.
Xu Yingyong glanced at Lin Liangchen worriedly, and looked at the Yu family, "Madam~"
Not long after Xu Yingyong finished screaming, Yu's body shook and fell, and a cry for help instantly sounded in the room.
Xu Han looked at An's dowry silently, and Lin Liangchen called him, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Liangchen looked at him funny, "What do you think?" ”
Xu Han twisted his eyebrows, "It's nothing." ”
Lin Liangchen stared at Xu Han for a moment, "Why don't you go back first, I'll come here?" ”
Different from Lin Liangchen's excitement, Xu Han's compassion for Lin Liangchen was in his eyes, and he estimated that Xu Han was uncomfortable.
"Let's go, I'll come here." Lin Liangchen had a begging meaning. Let Xu Han be stunned.
Nodding in agreement, Lin Liangchen smiled lightly and watched Xu Han leave. As soon as Xu Han left, Lin Liangchen sped up the speed of the inspection, and while he was inspecting, an ancient bottle from the former dynasty was thrown to the ground by a girl.
This sound scared Lin Liangchen half to death, and when he turned around, a little girl knelt next to the bottle. kept telling Lin Liangchen about his crimes.
"I'm sorry Grandma, the slave didn't mean it, the slave and the maid tripped up. Just"
What to say, Lin Liangchen fully understood, but An's dowry, whether it was for her or Xu Han. It's all very precious things. At this moment, she was broken by a girl, and her brows were furrowed, "Frizzy, what do you look like, let me out." ”
The little girl was frightened, "Grandma Da Shao"
Lin Liangchen's eyes swept away, and the steward who followed Lin Liangchen immediately asked the two little girls to drive people out.
Ancient bottles. Lin Liangchen didn't understand it very much, and waited for the housekeeper to come back. Then he said: "Mother Xu, you put this bottle away, go back and take it out and ask, are there any places in the capital that can restore this bottle." ”
"Yes, Grandma."

Lu Shi asked worriedly, Lin Liangchen's face became even more ugly, and Lu Shi continued: "Sister-in-law, Brother and Sister Rong, I shouldn't say something, most of your things are fake, I think you have been deceived." ”
