Ling'er sat curled up in the carriage of Ye Mansion, her head resting on her arm, looking at the past scenery outside. The third sister looked around curiously, knocked here and there, and praised:

"This carriage is so big! It's like a small house, and there's a snack here! Miss, would you like a piece? ”

The third sister wrapped a mouthful of dim sum and said while eating, spraying dim sum scum everywhere, Chun Qiao frowned and stretched out her hand to block it: "Third sister, you can't always be like this, in the future, Miss will enter Jiafu to be the housewife, and you will make our miss unable to get off the stage if you are always like this." ”

"Huh? Housewives don't eat? ”

"No, heck, you'll talk about it when you're done."

Unconsciously the carriage arrived at the door of the Ye Mansion, this time the second master of the Ye family, the second lady of the Ye family, the third lady, and the three young masters all came, as soon as the carriage stopped, the second master of the Ye family immediately greeted the old lady Ye in front of the carriage, and carefully helped the old lady down.

The second lady and Zhiyu Zhihuan stood in front of Ling'er's carriage, this time Ling'er still didn't let anyone help her, so she jumped off the carriage in front of everyone, and then patted her clothes, and lost her smile when she pulled her mouth.

Zhiyu looked at her with a smile: "Ling'er, are you still angry?" ”

Ling'er pretended to be at a loss: "What are you angry about?" With 100,000 taels of silver as a dowry, what else do I have to be angry about? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at them together, the eldest lady and Zhilan both glanced at her with blue faces, and Zhilan snorted coldly: "One hundred thousand taels of silver? Thinking about money and going crazy, right? ”

Ye Chengren and Ye Chengde looked at each other, and the old lady patted Ye Chengren's hand: "Alas, I agreed." ”

"What?" Everyone exclaimed, and Ye Chengren's brows were so furrowed that he could kill mosquitoes: "Ancestor, how can you deal with this matter casually?" If Ling'er marries 100,000 taels of silver. That Zhilan and Zhiyu can't be lower than this number, our family ......"

The old lady sighed lightly and waved her hand, holding Mother Wu's hand and slowly walking in, Ye Chengren and Ye Chengde glanced at each other and hurriedly followed, the eldest lady and Zhilan turned around and glared at Ling'er at the same time, and quickly chased after them with a flick of their handkerchief.

The second lady looked at the people. A little hesitant. He smiled a little unnaturally when he turned around: "Ling'er, ...... Let's go inside! ”

Ling'er was not polite, and followed the second lady inside. The second lady kept sending Ling'er to Yanfang Courtyard before hurriedly saying goodbye, looking at the direction she went should also be the old lady's courtyard, presumably it is very lively there now!

Ling'er was happy and walked around the yard with her hands behind her back. On the surface, this courtyard doesn't look much different from before, but Ling'er has lived here for more than a month after all. She can still see at a glance where there are changes, for example, the flower pots in the yard have changed a lot, and the ornaments in the house have also changed a lot, and many things look quite new. But it's definitely not as valuable as it used to be.

Heh~~ Ling'er feels funny, the eldest lady really can't wait! Maybe she had already made up the idea of this yard thing, but the old lady never let it go. She didn't have a chance to do it.

Last time, she finally seized the opportunity to get herself out, so she recklessly began to change things. She would have calculated that she had lost this thing since she moved in, and if she found it out in the future, she could have blamed it all on herself, saying that her hands and feet were not clean, and that she had taken those things and so on.

Ling'er picked a morning glory on the wall and smelled it, but her mind was quickly calculating.

She didn't really want the old lady's 100,000 taels of silver, she just wanted to see how much the Ye family was willing to spend to marry the Jia family, but the old lady didn't agree because it took too long, it seems that the Jia family is really a fragrant bait?

Huh~~ What about the fragrant dumplings? I'm not unusual, she suddenly remembered something, "Qiu Ming, come here!" ”

Qiu Ming, who was cleaning the yard, hurriedly ran over: "Miss, what are your orders?" ”

Ling'er beckoned Qiu Ming to speak closer: "Do you know that Zhilan and Zhiyu are engaged?" ”

Qiu Ming thought for a while: "There are a few who come to propose, but the eldest lady and the second lady feel that they are not good enough, and none of them have responded." ”

"Do they have a good match?"

"Yes! Of course, their favorite is Miss, your future husband Jia Gongzi! Qiu Ming winked mischievously.

Ling'er pulled her lips and smiled: "Really? Then I'll give them a little more thought. ”

"Huh? What the? ”

"Qiu Ming, come here with your ears." Ling'er muttered in Qiu Ming's ear for a while, Qiu Ming's eyes widened, and when Ling'er finished speaking, she took a step back and looked at Ling'er timidly: "Miss, are you ...... Do you really want to do that? ”

"Don't worry about the rest, you just let the news out, remember, you can't say it just by sewing people, you have to pretend that it accidentally leaked out, and you have to make sure that this word reaches the ears of the eldest lady and Zhilan."

Qiu Ming's eyes rolled uneasily, and he stammered, "Miss, you...... If you really plan to do this, please be sure to bring the slave maid and the autumn cicada spring pretty sister. ”

Qiu Ming suddenly knelt on the ground, and Ling'er picked her up: "What are you doing?" If you can't do it, I can't keep you. ”

Qiu Ming was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Miss don't worry, Miss will do whatever she says about the slave maid, and the slave and maid swear that they will never tell the second person." ”

Ling'er nodded with satisfaction: "No, I just want you to tell them, go!" ”

Qiu Ming left in a daze, and the third sister came over: "Miss, what did you tell her?" ”

Ling'er glanced at her: "Don't go out of the courtyard during this time, so as not to spoil my big thing." ”

"Huh?!" The third sister was a little confused.

The old lady of the Ye family's courtyard was not so quiet, and the masters of the Ye family in the living room were all here, and the eldest lady burst into tears: "Ancestor, our Zhilan is your granddaughter, why are you so partial?" I haven't said anything if you're biased towards Zhiyu, but what is that wild girl? She doesn't have the surname Ye at all! ”

Zhilan also cried with a buzz: "The ancestor is eccentric, the Jia family came to ask for marriage, obviously what he said was to marry the daughter of the Ye family, Zhiyu and I are both concubines, the ancestor, the granddaughter is your eldest daughter, why do you want to answer her?" ”

The second lady and Zhiyu's faces were also very ugly, the second lady wanted to say something, but the words came to her mouth several times and choked back, and the eldest lady slapped the table suddenly: "What are you crying about, my ancestor and I are still alive!" ”

The eldest lady and Zhilan immediately stopped crying, and the eldest lord Ye Chengren let out a long breath, "Old ancestor, I have no opinion on the Jia family's request to marry Ling'er, but is the 100,000 taels of silver a little inappropriate?" ”

The second old man Ye Chengde said: "Ancestor, our Ye family has only been up for more than 100 years, and the family background is not thick, and the total number of shops, fields, and real estate in the family is only five or six hundred thousand taels, if Ling'er marries 100,000 taels, then Zhilan and Zhiyu will also marry 100,000 taels, which will almost take out half of our family business."

And only Shiping is married in the family, Shilian and Shisheng have not yet married, and then they need a sum of silver, not to mention that in recent years, there have been continuous wars on the north-south border, and the business is not easy to do, and many of our shops are still at a loss; Moreover, if the eldest brother wants to be promoted in the future, he will definitely need a sum of money to move around, alas!
