PS: Add a more chapter, thank you for the reward of 'yh_yh1166' children's shoes.

Ling'er sat down full of doubts: "Father, when did you come back?" ”

"It wasn't long after I came back." Jiang Huaiping paused for a moment and said:

"As soon as I entered the door, I heard that Mrs. ordered a family affair for you, although the other party's family background is not rich, but he is a very self-motivated scholar, originally I wanted to pick from the county's crowd of people, but they are not too old to have a family, it is good to choose a show, and the next autumn examination is to lift people.

Xiaobai, are you satisfied? ”

Ling'er tugged at the corners of her mouth: "It's not bad if you're self-motivated, as long as your family isn't too poor, otherwise it's not good to spend all day trying to calculate the dowry of your wife's room, and even make up your mind on your father-in-law." ”

Ling'er deliberately glanced at her eldest brother Jiang Guosheng when she said this, and also wanted to see her father Jiang Huaiping's reaction. The eldest brother lowered his head in embarrassment, but his father Jiang Huaiping thought seriously for a moment, nodded and said:

"It makes sense, people eat whole grains, who can not be selfish? If the family background is too poor, and he always wants to rely on the woman's family to help, this kind of man will not be able to be an official in the future, so don't do it. ”

Ling'er laughed secretly in her heart, did this biological father forget that he had done this before? She rolled her eyes and looked at Jiang Huaiping deliberately: "Father, how is the family of the in-law that Mrs. found for me?" ”

Jiang Huaiping thought for a while: "I heard from the matchmaker that his family has twenty acres of land and two buffaloes, which is not bad in the village." ”

Ling'er tugged at the corners of her mouth, isn't this good? Is he really willing to marry himself to someone like that? Ling'er's heart was cold. said lightly: "Since it's such a good family, it's better to give it to Sister Yan'er." ”

Jiang Huaiping was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Xiaobai." Don't talk nonsense, your sister Yan'er is only thirteen this year, and she is not yet old enough to talk about marriage, besides...... She's in a different situation than you. ”

"How is it different? Aren't Father, Sister Yeon'er and Sister and Am I all your daughters? ”

Looking at Ling'er's innocent and bright eyes, Jiang Huaiping suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Xiaobai." I didn't mean that, I mean..."

Ling'er was angry in her heart and didn't want to listen to his explanation. Changing the subject, he said, "Father, how much dowry is my mother going to prepare for me?" Will my grandmother put on my makeup? ”

At the mention of Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Huaiping's face suddenly changed, and he turned his face away and said embarrassedly: "Don't worry." You are the young lady of our Jiang Mansion. There will be everything that should be. Xiaobai, I still have some things to do, I'll go first, and I'll see you another day! ”

Jiang Huaiping hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, the eldest brother Jiang Guosheng was still sitting there, and Ling'er squinted at him: "Big brother, my father is gone, don't you catch up?" ”

Jiang Guosheng said with a bitter face: "Sister." What's wrong with you? As soon as my father returned, he brought me to see you, saying that you were going to get married. I, as an older brother, should help. ”

"So what are you going to help with big brother?"

The hostility in Ling'er's tone could be heard by anyone, Jiang Guosheng shook his head and sighed: "Sister, I really regard you as my own sister, why do you want to talk about me like this?" Father will definitely not treat you badly about the dowry, if you don't believe it, wait and see, your father will definitely go to his wife to talk about it now. ”

Ling'er lowered her head and was silent, Jiang Guosheng hesitated a few times, and couldn't help asking: "Sister, what about Li Liang...... Haven't you let him go back yet? ”

Ling'er looked around, glared at him and said, "Don't tell anyone about this." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I didn't say anything, I just ...... There are a lot of things in Zhuangzi that have been suppressed, Li Liang is not here, and I don't know how to deal with it! ”

Ling'er frowned: "You are the master, you can deal with it as you say, do you have to wait for him to come before you can make up your mind?" ”

"But ......"

"Big brother, I gave you so much silver to find a chance to go out and start a household, you don't really want to stay in this mansion for the rest of your life, right?"

"This... I...... I think I'm afraid my father won't agree. ”

"If you don't say anything, how do you know if your father agrees? Have you thought about it, your father is not only your son, Madame's son is only ten years old now, why does Madame spy on you everywhere and make it difficult for you to deal with you? Not for her son.

Most of the Jiang family's property was married by his wife's mother's family, do you think she will watch her son's things be divided by you? If you don't leave, sooner or later Madame will kick your family out, and no one will be able to save you. ”

Jiang Guosheng lowered his head with a pale face, he was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I... I'll go back and discuss with Lan Xin. ”

After Jiang Guosheng left, Ling'er sat in the courtyard sullenly for a while. At this time, someone at the gate of the courtyard came to find the lotus, and said a few words to her, and the lotus sent the person away, and Ling'er glanced at it, as if she was a sweeping mother-in-law.

Ling'er said: "Lotus, when did you talk to a sweeping woman?" ”

Lotus smiled: "Miss, after all, the slave maid has been in this mansion for some years, and she still knows some people." ”

"Oh, is it? What is that mother-in-law here for? ”

"Miss, that mother-in-law is responsible for sweeping the floor at the door of the old lady's courtyard, she just said that the old lady went to see the old lady, and helped the old lady out of the hospital and walked away."

"Oh? Is it still out there? Ling'er immediately became interested, and immediately stood up to go out.

Lotus hurriedly followed: "The slave doesn't know, but the master has only been there for a while, so he should still be outside." ”

When Ling'er heard this, she sped up her pace, and trotted towards the old lady's yard, and when she passed by Mrs. Jiang's yard, Mrs. Jiang happened to be at the door, Ling'er didn't intend to pay attention to her, and trotted directly in front of her.

Mrs. Jiang saw that Ling'er didn't even say hello, and then she was told by the old man, something was wrong in her heart, and she planned to come out to relax, but she didn't expect to encounter this disaster star again as soon as she went out.

"Stop! Dignified Miss Jiangfu, can't you even walk? See what you look like? ”

Ling'er glanced back at her, she didn't have time to talk to her, she ignored her, turned her head and ran away, Mrs. Jiang didn't even shout a few times to stop.

Mrs. Jiang was angry, looking at the direction where Ling'er left, her teeth itched with hatred, "Mother Lu, where is the wild girl?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, but ...... It looks like it's in the direction of the old lady's yard, right? ”

"Old lady? What is she doing over there in a hurry? Madame Chiang seemed to be talking to herself, and she pondered for a moment.

"Mother Lu, the others stay, you come with me to take a look, I want to see what the hell that girl is doing?"

Ling'er came to the old lady's yard, the sweeping woman pointed them in the direction of the garden, Ling'er walked a few steps quickly, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Huaiping holding the old lady's arm and walking in the small garden, seeing that the two of them were talking and laughing, and seemed to be enjoying it.

Ling'er turned her head to look around, and saw that there were no outsiders here except for the sweeping woman and the lotus, she beckoned the lotus to whisper a few words to her, the lotus nodded, and took the sweeping woman back a few feet, standing in the corner of the wall and watching from afar.

Ling'er narrowed her eyes and slowly walked towards the two so-called closest relatives in the garden. (To be continued......)
