Chapter 117: Elders Add Makeup

Linglong wandered around the Hanging Flower Gate for about two quarters of an hour, and when he saw his uncle Su Bingquan hurriedly striding into the door, Gui Ying asked in a low voice: "Miss, the eldest master is back, do you want to go over and ask?" ”

"Forget it, you haven't seen people full of spring breeze, their steps are in a hurry, and they are busy seeing beautiful women, how can they pay attention to me?"

"Miss, he's coming this way."

Linglong looked up, and it was not his uncle Su Bingquan who strode over from the flower bed in front of him?

The last time he took Luo Wan'er as he wished, his aunt was scolded by the old lady, and her mind was light, and she turned her mind to Su Lingxuan, and she didn't bother to care about their old mandarin ducks.

Not to mention, that Luo Wan'er is really competitive, she was pregnant in just one month, and her uncle immediately promoted her to the fourth aunt, and she has been going more frequently recently, look at him happily!

In fact, Linglong has always wondered if the Su family's species is in Luo Wan'er's belly? Of course, she just thinks about it, this kind of thing can't be said casually, if you don't do it, you will get a corpse and two lives, it's not necessary, it's none of her business anyway, right?

Su Bingquan obviously saw Linglong as well, and he stopped for a moment: "Linglong? How did you get in a wheelchair? ”

Linglong smiled: "A few days ago, I injured my foot, and my niece was unable to move, so I didn't get up to salute my uncle!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay for you to sit, take a good rest, and find your aunt if you have something!" It was rare for him to smile at Linglong with a gentle attitude, so he kept passing past Linglong step by step, and went to the courtyard in the forest on the side to reads;.

Linglong turned his head and stared at his back: "Luo Wan'er lives there?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, it looks like it should be!"

"Count her Yunqi as well, my aunt doesn't have time to take care of him now, and when Lingxuan's matter is over, she is afraid that she will not have a good life."

Gui Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "What Miss said is true." Fortunately, at that time, the young lady had already left this Longtan tiger's den, otherwise she might have to suffer! ”

Linglong turned his head to look at Gui Ying, is it the tiger's den in Longtan? This adjective is used well, but it may not be over if you leave, the old aunt is still there, and most of her father and mother are also angry with Mrs. Su.

"Miss, the old lady is back!"

"Quick. Let's go and say goodbye. ”

Gui Ying pushed Linglong out. I saw that the old lady had gone in the opposite direction.

"Grandpa! Grandfather! Linglong raised his voice and called several times, before Old Lady Su stopped and looked back and saw Linglong. Then he turned and walked over.

"Linglong girl, your name is old man?"

"yes, Grandpa, I haven't seen you in a few days. Linglong is waiting here to say hello to you! ”

Old lady Su smiled: "Good boy, you have a heart!" ”

"It should. Where is Grandpa going in a hurry? ”

"I heard from the porter that the Liang family has sent a dowry gift, I'll go to your grandma's place to see, girl, just go with the old man, right?"

"Okay. It's just that Linglong is inconvenient to move and can't kowtow to grandpa, grandpa is not to blame! ”

"It doesn't matter. You're so alive, yes. What does the doctor say, when will your leg be better? ”

"The doctor said it would take at least two or three months."

"Two or three months? You have less than a month to get married, and you will have to be taken care of by the Liang Mansion at that time, and we are to blame for not taking good care of us, don't blame us when your father comes. ”

"What's the matter, grandpa, it's good that you don't dislike your granddaughter!"

"The old man's own granddaughter, what is there to dislike? Good boy, go to the Liang family to serve your husband and in-laws well, don't embarrass our Su family is serious. ”

"Yes, my granddaughter remembered. By the way, grandpa, has my father's official position come down? ”

"It's down, it's been a few days!"

"What kind of official is it?"

"Your father's previous Jiangzhou weaving is the fifth product, he has done a good job in Jiangzhou over the years, the emperor also has an impression of him, and when he returns to Beijing, he will directly give him a Taichang Temple Shaoqing who is a fourth product, this official position is idle and simple, and he is also regarded as a person who walks in front of the royal family, as long as he is honest and well-behaved, he will be able to be stable and worry-free in the second half of his life."

"That should be a great official position, thank you grandpa!"

"Don't thank the old man, although this is an idle errand, it is very useful at a critical time, there are many people staring at this errand, fortunately, there is Liang Guogong Baoju to be so smooth, so Linglong, you must be filial to your in-laws after entering the Liang Mansion."

"Yes, my granddaughter knows reads; Grandpa, did the Shaoqing housekeeper of Taichang Temple provide an official residence? ”

"Residence?"

"Yes, when my father first returned to the capital, he brought his younger brothers, sisters, aunts and servants, and there were too many people living in the house, which was inconvenient, not to mention that the uncle and aunt seemed to have a little ...... for my father Dissatisfied with it, grandpa doesn't want his father to come back and have a stiff relationship with them, right? ”

Old Man Su slowed down, he stroked his beard with one hand and thought for a long time: "Bingren's temperament has always been unruly, and he has been at odds with your uncle since he was a child, and what you said makes some sense." ”

Linglong was secretly happy, after all, this old man is not a fool, and he will not force his father to move back to the house.

"It's just...... Bingren is the son and grandson of my Su family, and he is obviously a person from Beijing, but he wants to live in an official residence, so it is not good to say. ”

"Grandpa, isn't it normal for an official to live in an official residence? What's good and bad to hear? Besides, didn't my father have already been separated? It's not right to come back and live again! ”

"Nonsense, it's all a family, your uncle is my heir, and so is your father, as long as my old man is still in the day, it will be a family."

Linglong laughed dryly, he was still thinking that the old man was enlightened, why did he turn back while talking?

"Grandpa, does my father's official position have an official residence?"

"Yes, yes, it's a small courtyard with two entrances, and it can't accommodate a few people."

"It's okay, when we returned to Beijing, we also bought a yard in front of us, and we can live separately!"

"No, you're about to get married, do you still have to go out from that small courtyard? Isn't that my Su family? ”

Uh, this ......

"There is no urgency in this matter for the time being, when your father comes back, the old man will discuss it with him, whether he is willing to live in the house or go out to buy a house, but it will have to wait for you to get married, this is a big deal."

Linglong smiled awkwardly, yes, now marrying the Liang family is the top priority of the Su family, should I be grateful to the Liang family for winning this honor?

Liang Chenjing's cold face suddenly appeared in her mind, and she didn't even notice that every time she thought of him before, she couldn't help but scold. This time, I felt like I wanted to laugh.

Linglong followed the old lady to Mrs. Su's yard, which was rare quiet today, and the old lady was walking in the courtyard with the support of her mother-in-law.

She heard the report from her subordinates and turned around to see the old lady and Linglong entering the door together, her face was as expressionless as before.

The old lady first gave the old lady a salute, and then said to Linglong: "You are not lightly injured, why don't you take care of yourself in the courtyard?" ”

The old lady said, "I brought her here, ma'am." Didn't you say that the dowry of the Liang Mansion had arrived? This is also Linglong's own business. By the way, let her take a look too. ”

"The dowry is all in the warehouse, and there is only a gift list here."

"The gift list is fine, where's it?"

"Sir, please."

The old lady led God into the living room. Linglong also followed up and sat aside.

The old lady sitting above opened the gift list and read it carefully all the way, until finally finished reading and closed the gift list:

"The Duke of Liang is worthy of the name of the rich world, and the dowry is so generous, just look at the things on the gift list. It is conservatively estimated to be worth seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver. Madame, many of these things are still royal gifts. It must be preserved, if it is broken, it is a crime of despising the royal family and disrespecting the emperor! ”

"The old body knows, it's just the master, the Liang family has many dowries. How to calculate the dowry of Linglong girl? ”

"This ......" the old lady turned his eyes to look at Linglong:

"This is really not good, it stands to reason that the dowry should be prepared by Bingren and his wife, let's just make up for it. But Bingren has not yet arrived in Beijing......

In this way, according to the specifications of our Su family's daughter getting married. Let's get all the preparations that should be prepared first, and when Bingren arrives, we'll see how much they can make up. ”

Mrs. Su was obviously unhappy: "According to the rules of our Su family, the concubine will marry the princess for 20,000 taels of silver, and the concubine will marry 2,000 taels. ”

"This doesn't need to be asked, Linglong is a concubine, so naturally it should be counted as a concubine."

"But his father ......"

"You can't count it like that, you have to say that, the second son of Liang is still a concubine, why don't you also do it according to the specifications of the concubine? The Liang Mansion attaches so much importance to this family business, and our Su family must not lose face. ”

Old Mrs. Su took a breath, obviously complaining: "Face face, then there must be so much silver to support face, can our family compare with Liang Guogong's Mansion?" ”

Mrs. Su counted herself in front of her granddaughter, which made Mrs. Su a little embarrassed.

Linglong understood in her heart that the old lady was not happy that she came because she didn't want to let herself hear about the dowry, and she deliberately complained when she came, so that she could understand the difficulties of the Su family.

Although Linglong didn't agree with Mrs. Su's approach, after all, the father had already divided it, and he had taken a large amount of silver from the Su family's account before, Linglong didn't plan to take the opportunity to blackmail them, there was no need, right?

"Grandpa, grandma, you don't have to worry about it, my mother has already discussed this matter with Linglong.

Our Su family can't be compared with the Miao family, let alone the Liang family, the dowry is just a part of the mother's family's mind, as long as there is it, Linglong doesn't care how much.

There are difficulties on my father's side, and there are also difficulties in the upper and lower expenses of the Su Mansion. The Liang family's great cause is not bad for Linglong to eat, what does Linglong want so much dowry to do?

I told my mother, no matter how much the Liang family gives, my mother only gives me 10,000 taels to marry according to the rules, and then add makeup to give gifts or something, it's enough to get together 20,000 taels, grandparents are casual, Linglong doesn't care about gold and silver, as long as grandparents have this heart, Linglong is very happy! ”

Old Lady Su and Old Lady Su both looked at Linglong in surprise and didn't speak for a long time.

Mrs. Su asked, "Do you really only need 20,000 taels to marry?" ”

"Yes, grandma, it doesn't have to be 20,000 taels, my father and mother only give 10,000 taels, and the rest is as good as it gets."

Old lady Su said: "Silly child, you can go to the dowry to represent your status in your in-law's family, you are not afraid that the Liang family will treat you badly in the past?" ”

Linglong replied without hesitation: "Don't be afraid!" ”

The two elders of the Su family glanced at each other, and the old lady Su spoke: "Okay, good boy!" We'll add 20,000 taels of makeup to you! (To be continued)
