Chapter 116: Grievances
Watching a few maids leave and bring the door, Song turned around, looking like he wanted to say something.
"Mother, what's the matter?"
"Linglong, that ......"
"What?"
"The ......"
"Mother, there are no outsiders here, you have something to say, reads;!"
Song hesitated for a long time, and gritted his teeth: "Linglong, you have a relationship with Liang's second son......"
Linglong blinked: "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with this? ”
"No, no, I mean...... Alas, it's hard to talk about, Linglong, you... I'm afraid you're going to be wronged! ”
Linglong was nervous when he heard this, what? Could it be that the Liang family wants to quit their relatives again? Not really, right? Obviously said it well before, Liang Chenjing also promised to come to the house to make it clear, is he there?
Seeing that Linglong's face was not good-looking, Song hurriedly said, "Linglong, don't think nonsense, I mean......
Alas, let's put it this way, yesterday the eldest son of the Liang family got married, and I also went to eat wine, and by the way, I inquired with the ladies who went with me, and I heard that the eldest son got married, and the dowry gift to the Miao family alone was as much as 100,000 taels, not counting the cost of getting married to do wine. And the Miao family is also generous, and they have married several Zhuangzi shops, which is equivalent to no less than 100,000 taels. ”
Linglong thought for a while and nodded: "It's quite a lot, now Miao Dandan can make a lot of money!" Mother, that's what you want to say? Don't worry, I don't have the heart to compare, I don't care if she has more than her. ”
"This ...... Mrs. Liang probably got to the bottom last time, the second son has always been the top of the heart of the old lady of the Liang family, and the marriage matters will always be according to the eldest son, and the second son will never be treated badly.
According to that meaning, the bride price that the Liang family gave us this time was not 100,000 but 60,000 or 70,000 taels, but our family ......
Alas. Your father has earned a little silver in Jiangzhou weaving for more than ten years, but such a large family has to spend, and the officialdom has to be dotted, we are almost self-made in Jiangzhou, and it is not easy to save some family business in these ten years.
Before leaving Beijing last time, your father and I roughly calculated that all the properties of our family did not add up to more than 300,000 taels. It depends on the price of the house shop.
I've had it with your father. The six children of you are treated equally, and each of you has a dowry or dowry of about 10,000 taels when you get married, plus gifts from relatives and friends who add makeup and guests to make up to 20,000 taels. In addition, you have to hold a wine banquet and miscellaneous expenses, if you can complete the family affairs of your brothers and sisters within 100,000 taels, it would be good.
The remaining 200,000 taels still have to buy a house in Beijing, run away for your father's official position or something.
But now that the Liang family is 100,000 taels, our family ......"
"Mother. Don't say it, someone else's home is someone else's house. Our family is our family, and the Liang family doesn't know the situation of our family, no matter how much the Liang family's dowry is, our family will count it at 10,000 taels! ”
"This ...... This is too wronged for you, right? If you can't get the dowry, you can't raise your head in your in-law's house. Alas. I originally planned to add all the dowries in the capital to you, but I didn't expect that the Song family was not good, and none of those shops and Zhuangzi could be pointed to......"
"Forget it. Mother, those things belong to the Song family. If it's gone, it's gone, let's not want it. ”
"But ......"
"Mother, when the eldest sister got married, she only married 10,000 taels of silver, right? I'll have as much as the eldest sister, I don't mind. ”
"This ...... It's just that I'm too wronged by you, or when your father arrives in the capital, I'll discuss with him and add you to 20,000 taels, and then add makeup and gifts to each room, and you should be able to get 30,000 taels of reads;. ”
"Don't, don't be so troublesome, just 10,000 taels, the Liang family is not short of money, and they won't embarrass me in this regard." Besides, if they are embarrassed, even if we lose our money, it may not be enough! ”
"This ...... Is it appropriate? ”
"It's suitable, that's it, I don't mind, mother, what are you worried about?"
Song looked at Linglong speechless, and after a while, she sighed: "Alas, poor my daughter has suffered so many grievances in Jiangzhou, and it is not easy to find a good family, but she has to be wronged in the dowry, my heart...... Alas! ”
Looking at the way Song pinched her handkerchief and touched her tears, Linglong was extremely powerless, she was most afraid of the old lady's trick, crying and crying made people feel numb.
"Okay, mother, I'm not wronged at all! By the way, where did my father and sister stay after they came here? Mother, can you arrange it? You won't all live in this house, will you? The eldest aunt has always been obsessed with her father, and he is afraid that he will be wronged if he wants to live in! ”
When Song heard this, he immediately forgot about the front, put down his handkerchief and said blankly: "How to arrange it?" There aren't a few people living in our small courtyard, not to mention that your grandmother is still there, most of them...... and they will dwell in this house. ”
"Then my father's official position can be denied, but there is an official residence to provide accommodation?"
"This ...... I'll have to ask your grandfather and uncle, just ...... Your grandfather and uncle have been very busy, and it is rare to meet them. ”
Linglong has a headache, his mother is really a vase, except for worrying that she can't do anything practical except for muttering and crying, forget it, I can't count on her for this.
"Mother, you take good care of your grandmother, wait for my injury to heal in two days, and then find a chance to ask grandpa."
"This ...... Linglong, you've worked hard again! Song blushed a little, she also knew that she couldn't do anything, she hadn't dared to ask Old Man Su and Old Lady Su since she married into the Su family, what they said was what she wanted, it wasn't that she didn't want to mention it, she was really scared, and she didn't dare to mention it.
Song sat with him in the Linglong Courtyard for a long time, and did not return until the evening.
As for his father's official position and residence, Linglong doesn't want to trouble the Liang family anymore, and the Liang family doesn't owe us anything, although he posted it and got married, after all, he hasn't passed the door yet, right? It's not good to always trouble people.
So she decided to figure it out on her own.
Because the injuries on her body were really not light, she recuperated in the hospital for five days, and she was finally able to barely move, plus Gui Ying got herself a good wheelchair, and it was convenient to go anywhere.
She planned to wait at the door of the weeping flowers in the afternoon, and wait for the old man to come back so that she could ask carefully.
Gui Ying pushed Linglong in a wheelchair to wander slowly in the Su Mansion, saying a word of conscience, the scenery in the Su Mansion is still good, although it is not as rich and gorgeous as the Princess's Mansion, but it also has a unique flavor.
"Go away, what are you? Are you embarrassed to enter the palace draft with me? Don't pee and take pictures, just your virtue, hum, I'm too embarrassed to lift my shoes! ”
Without being reminded by Linglong, Gui Ying had already stopped and quietly looked at what was happening in the pavilion in front of her.
Who else could anyone other than Su Lingxuan who dared to speak so arrogantly in Su Mansion? The one who was bullied was her half-sister Su Lingman, because her cousin Song Qiaoer took the initiative to quit, Lingman picked up a bargain for nothing, and she could enter the palace with Su Lingxuan to draft reads;!
This is a great good thing for the whole Su Mansion, two are better than one, this one is not selected and there is another, both are selected as the best, as long as one of them is favored, the Su family will follow the infinite scenery.
Because the time was too close, Mrs. Su spoke, asking the grandmother who taught Lingxuan to set one out to teach Lingman, and let the two practice together, one to enhance the relationship and the other to supervise and learn from each other.
Mrs. Su was originally well-intentioned, but it became an insult to Su Lingxuan, and she had nothing to do to find Lingman's stubble, and after a few days of hard work, Lingman had been bullied by her and scarred.
Su Lingxuan is not too stupid, she never slapped her face when she bullied Lingman, and she beckoned to her with all her skill, the last time I heard Lingyu say that Lingman's body was full of bruises and purples, and it was said that it was all thanks to Lingxuan.
Don't ask the two grandmothers why they don't care? They were hired to come into the house to get money to do things, saying that they were teaching, but in fact they were not serving the two little masters, they only disciplined what should be taught, and as for the grievances between the little masters, they didn't want to manage and couldn't care.
Lingman was pushed to the ground by Lingxuan and scolded and kicked twice, and then Lingxuan sat down on the shelf and asked the grandmother next to her: "Mama, the emperor is out to play, can we go up to meet you?" ”
"There are many escort teams around the emperor, and occasionally they are accompanied by their mothers, so they can't be approached casually without permission."
"I can't do this or that, I can't show my face in front of the emperor, how can the emperor recognize me?"
The two grandmothers looked at each other awkwardly: "This...... Miss, don't worry, as long as the draft is selected, she enters the Chuxiu Pavilion, and after two months of upbringing, the respectful room will arrange for the little masters to sleep one by one. ”
Do you still need to be educated after the draft? What is upbringing? We've all learned what we should learn!
"Miss, you will suffer less after you have learned it once, but some little masters may not have learned it, and there are many rules in the palace, which are also what the little masters of Chuxiu Pavilion need to remember one by one."
"Okay, okay, I don't know, I really don't know what grandma spent so much money to ask you to do? I'll go back, you guys practice slowly! Lingxuan flicked her sleeves impatiently, then walked out of the pavilion with a cold face, and when she raised her eyes, she met Linglong in a wheelchair.
Lingxuan paused and frowned slightly: "What do you see?" Dead cripple! ”
Then she walked past Linglong with her head held high and arrogant, Linglong looked back at her funny, I heard that she had been trained for two months, and thought she had made more progress? Now it seems that it is not as good as before. Such an impetuous temperament has only a dead end.
Looking at Lingman in the pavilion again, she slowly got up, quite respectful to the two grandmothers, she did what the grandmother said, never objected, the two grandmothers did not say it, but the attitude was much more relaxed, and there were many things secretly reminded of her.
Gui Ying said in a low voice: "Miss, this Miss Lingman may really have something to do in the future!" ”
Linglong smiled: "That...... Let me make a good match! ”
"Miss, would you like to go in and say hello?"
"No need, let's go to the Hanging Flower Gate again, grandpa should be back."
Gui Ying pushed Linglong and left slowly, Lingman in the pavilion glanced here, she was distracted and immediately received two rings, and was reprimanded by her mother.
Lingman gritted her teeth, maintaining the so-called elegant movements motionless, no one knew that she was secretly saying to herself in her heart: Su Lingman, Su Lingman, you only have this one chance, and you must not give up, otherwise you will only have a dead end. (To be continued)
