Before his father could answer, Lingfeng jumped up in surprise: "Eighty thousand taels of dowry!" Mother, did I hear me right? ”

The second aunt pulled her back and reprimanded her in a low voice: "Don't interject when the elders speak." ”

Lingfeng pulled the second aunt's sleeve and shook it: "Mother, I also want to find someone who can afford to give a dowry of 80,000 taels!" ”

The fourth aunt sneered: "Third Miss, don't just look at the dowry!" Didn't you think that the master spent 100,000 taels of silver to marry your mother? As a result, all our family resources were spent, and the scenery was not much better for a while! ”

The second aunt's face turned white when she brushed it, and Lingfeng jumped up angrily: "What are you?" Who is qualified to speak ill of my mother? You're still worthless, if it weren't for my father's pity and you picking you up from the door of the Qinglou, you would have died a long time ago! ”

"Feng'er!" The second aunt and the father scolded in unison, and this time it was the turn of the fourth aunt to be pale and ugly.

Linglong shook his head secretly, he had been away from home for a few months, and he hadn't gotten along with his family for a few days, and he just wanted everyone to come back to Beijing to take care of him, but he forgot that none of his homes were fuel-efficient lamps!

Su Bingren stretched his face: "Feng'er, punish you for copying a woman a hundred times!" Go now! ”

Lingfeng lowered his face: "Ah~~~!" Why? Obviously, she was the one who spoke ill of my mother first! ”

"You still say, go quickly!"

Because her father was too strict, even the second aunt didn't help her, her small mouth was raised high, and she reluctantly walked out, walking a few steps and stopping: "Father, where is my room?" ”

Su Bingren was a little impatient, waved his hand and said, "Go down, I'll arrange it for you later." ”

Lingfeng pursed his lips and stamped his feet and walked out.

Su Bingren raised his eyes to look at the fourth aunt, and saw that her face was extremely ugly with her head down. He hesitated slightly, but still said with a straight face:

"Wu Niang, it's not been a day or two since you entered my Su family, the family didn't treat you as an outsider, and you don't often talk about those words that slander your family, which is not good for you.

The matter ...... You will also be punished. and you will be grounded for three days. Long memory. ”

The fourth aunt didn't refute this time, but just lowered her head and whispered to agree, Linglong glanced at the fourth aunt. Speaking of which, she didn't know that the fourth aunt entered the door like this, didn't everyone say that she was sent by her father's colleague? In this way, it seems that her father is really good to her, and she should not have crooked thoughts.

Then Su Bingren said to the Song family: "Linglong's dowry...... If it is originally discussed, the daughter of our family will marry a maximum of 10,000 taels per person. The Liang family is unusual, since the old man has generously paid 20,000 taels. We as biological parents can't treat her badly, let's also pay 20,000 taels, and make up for the rest, and strive for 50,000 taels. What does Madame think? ”

"Okay, okay, that's what I mean, just if the master doesn't have an opinion."

Su Bingren nodded. Raising his eyes and scanning the others: "Do you have any opinions?" ”

The second aunt didn't raise her eyelids and said directly: "The master is in charge, and the concubine has no opinion." ”

The third aunt smiled: "Linglong can find such a good husband." I'm afraid 20,000 taels is less, sir, how much more silver do we need? ”

Su Bingren sighed lightly: "There is not much left, we have to buy a house, we have to study and marry a few children, we have to take care of my bosses and subordinates, and it is best to buy some properties, and we can't toss a few times with that little money on our books." Linglong, don't feel wronged, your father is incompetent, you can only do this! ”

"Father, don't say that, it doesn't matter how much the dowry is, I don't mind!"

Su Bingren nodded with satisfaction: "Good boy, get along with your mother and sisters these days, and you will have so many opportunities to be together when you get married in the future." Madam, don't worry about other things, stay in the mansion these days and teach Linglong well! ”

"Yes, sir! The concubine body also has this intention, but it is ...... My sister-in-law and second brother are there...... I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you, sir! ”

Su Bingren thought for a while: "This is a troublesome matter, wait for me to sort out the clues, visit all the old acquaintances in Beijing, inquire about the situation by the way, and then discuss with the second uncle, Madame, don't worry, we will deal with this matter." ”

The matter was almost discussed, and the father left with the eldest brother Su Juefan and the second brother Su Juefei, and the rest depends on how the mother arranges a place for everyone?

There are a total of three upper rooms in Tingfeng Courtyard, the middle is a hall house, Linglong lives in one, and the other room was originally lived by his mother. Then there are two wings on each side of the front, six rooms in the back, and a utility room and a kitchen.

The mother summed it up, let the second aunt and Lingfeng live in the left wing, the third aunt and Lingxia live in the right wing, and the fourth aunt can only live in the backyard.

In this way, it is just enough to live a large family, and the next people are going to suffer a little grievance.

The mother roughly stated her thoughts, and then looked at the second aunt inquiringly: "Second sister, what do you think?" ”

Lingfeng walked in and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why do you live in the upper room and we live in the wing room?" ”

The fourth aunt said: "If you think that the wing room is not good enough, then live in the backyard, I don't want to live in the backyard yet, the black hole is empty, and I can't see it clearly in broad daylight." ”

Lingfeng pursed his lips and stopped talking, and after being silent for a while, Song smiled awkwardly: "After the room is arranged, everyone will go back to the room to clean up, report what is missing or need, let's go out to buy it together." Alright, let's disperse! ”

Everyone in the room dispersed one after another, until the last person left, Song sat on the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief, and then rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, Linglong asked Gui Ying to push himself over: "Mother, don't work too hard!" ”

Song smiled: "How can there be hard work or not, it's just some grinding things, Linglong, our family is finally here, but this is not our own home after all, you should pay attention to what you talk in the future, don't quarrel with your sisters and aunts, make people laugh, you know?" ”

Linglong stuck out his tongue: "Mother, I know, I won't in the future!" ”

The things needed in each room were quickly reported, mainly bedding and clothes and other things, the Song family was worried, and the second brother Juefei came in with a few small servants carrying burdens, which were full of bedding, a total of more than ten or twenty beds, enough for everyone to spend the night tonight.

The Song family sent people from each room to get it, and beckoned Jue Fei to come over to rest and drink tea, and Song's eyes, who had not seen his son for a long time, were fixed on Jue Fei's face without blinking.

"Jue Fei, during the time my mother left Jiangzhou, is the family okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that the fourth aunt is often noisy, and the noise makes my head hurt."

"Oh? What is she arguing about? ”

"Hey, she doesn't have a few good words in her mouth, so don't listen to it!"

"That'...... Your father, is he still smooth? ”

"It doesn't seem to be good, I see my father with a sad face all day long, every day I send someone to the post station to ask if there is a letter, every time there is none, my father is so anxious that there is a blister on his gums, and his face is swollen for several days!"

"Really? That...... Did all the people in our house bring it? ”

"No, there are too many people in the house, most of them are born and raised in Jiangzhou, so they are not happy to come to the capital, my father discussed with the buyer before selling the house, let them continue to use this group of people, reward them with a mouthful of food, and before leaving, my father also gave each person twenty taels of severance silver!"

"Well, or is your father thoughtful, and the rest? Anything else? ”

Jue Fei thought about it, turned his head to look at Linglong, and Linglong blinked: "What do you want me to do?" Could it be that those people in Jiangzhou are still talking bad about me? ”

"That's not true, second sister, as soon as you leave, the people of Jiangzhou still miss you! often mentions you, and there is no derogatory remark, but everyone thinks that you have a good temperament and are a good girl! ”

Linglong sneered at him: "Come on!" Don't comfort me, Mother, I'll go back to my room if it's okay! ”

"Well, go ahead!"

Linglong asked Gui Ying to push him back to the next room and close the door, and he went back to the door to eavesdrop.

Jue Fei stared at the door of Linglong's room for a while, and then leaned into Song's ear and whispered: "Mother, in fact, there is another matter, the second sister is not good to say to me." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Half a month before we left Jiangzhou, my father received a letter from the Xue family in Changzhou."

"Xue family!" Song raised her voice in surprise, and Jue Fei frowned at her, so she lowered her voice: "Who is the letter from the Xue family?" What does the letter say? Why didn't your dad mention this to me? ”

"I don't know what to say, I listen to my father's meaning, the Xue family wants the second sister to get married."

"What! This...... This ......"

"Mother, don't worry! You keep your voice quiet, of course you will be heard by the second sister! ”

"Jue Fei, wasn't Xue Gongzi kidnapped by the bandits? Aren't people gone? Why is it ...... all of a sudden?"

"Mother, I just heard my father mention a few words about this, but my father didn't say much, and before entering Beijing, he told us not to leak our mouths."

Song frowned and stared at him: "Then why do you still say it?" ”

Su Juefei pursed his lips: "I think that Brother Xue is very good, but I don't know how the Liang family son is now?" If it's not as good as Brother Xue, it's better to marry Brother Xue! ”

"What nonsense!" Song glanced nervously at Linglong's room, pulled Jue Fei over and said in a low voice:

"Silly boy, the marriage certificate was returned after the Xue family's accident, and our two families have nothing to do with each other. Your second sister is almost eighteen, so it's impossible for your second sister to keep waiting, right? What's more, she is now engaged to Liang Ergongzi and is about to get married, how can she marry someone else?

Moreover, Liang Gongzi's talent and family background are outstanding, and he is a good family affair that many families can't ask for, Juefei, do you remember, can you never know this matter in front of your second sister? ”

Jue Fei was a little unconvinced: "Why did my mother say the same?" Is Liang Gongzi really that good? I must meet it, otherwise what will happen if the second sister is wronged in the future? ”

"Silly boy, you are not allowed to come nonsense, your second sister will get married in half a month, and nothing can go wrong at this time! We can't afford to offend the Liang family, otherwise our whole family wouldn't want to stay in the capital, you know? ”

Su Juefei didn't answer, and the Song family was not at ease, so he had to force him to promise not to mention this matter before Linglong got married. (To be continued)
