Originally, she planned that no matter what excuse Li Yan used to repent of marriage, she would not agree. But now that I think about it, it doesn't matter if I can't agree. Anyway, in the moment just now, the abacus in her heart had been prepared. According to the custom here, the repentant spouse is required to compensate the other spouse for the loss. In addition to the earliest 100 taels and the 200 taels that were set up before are absolutely impossible to return to the Li family, Wang Yue'e made a baby kiss with Li Yan when she was 5 years old, and now she is sixteen years old. Li Yan's withdrawal will definitely have an impact on Wang Yue's reputation, and the Li family will definitely have to compensate for this reputation loss; There are also the mental loss fees for the Wang family and Wang Yue'e who caused psychological damage due to the Li family's withdrawal from their relatives, and the cost of specially customized clothing for getting married...... None of these expenses can be escaped by the Li family.

But Lin felt that she was a reasonable person, she would not be like other uninformed country women who saw money and opened their mouths, the Li family caused so much damage, she didn't want too much, just 1000 taels.

"Madam, about my relationship with Sister Yue-"

Li Yan raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation.

Such an expression couldn't help but make Lin's heart tighten, if this Li Yan really had a hard time, then she could be more accommodating, as long as 999 taels, suddenly, Lin felt helpless for his weak heart.

"Regarding my relationship with Sister Yue'e, I want to set a time for marriage......"

Li Yan's face was flushed, and he said it three times in a row. I finally finished what I wanted to say.

"What?"

The Lin family was planning the amount of compensation for the withdrawal of relatives in her heart just now, and when she heard Li Yan's words at first glance, she didn't react for a moment.

"Ma'am, I know it's a bit of a rush to say this now, but ...... I received a letter of recommendation from the prefect today, and I am about to go to Rongzhou Mansion to be the city office. ”

Thinking that Lin disagreed, Li Yan explained anxiously.

"What?"

After the previous news had not been digested, there was another blockbuster news behind it, and Lin felt that his mind was full of news, and he couldn't sort it out for a while.

"Ma'am. I know it's a bit abrupt. It should be more polite to find a good day and an auspicious day for the matchmaker to say, but I'm afraid that after becoming the city commission, things will become more ......"

Lin's reaction made Li Yan very anxious.

Because of the previous attitude of the Wang family towards him. He has never been too sure about this marriage. I thought I was admitted to Xiucai. became the city bureau again, and came to talk about this matter with this name, which should satisfy the Lin family. I didn't expect the situation to be so sad.

"You just said you became a city commissioner?"

Picking up the tea next to him and pouring it violently, Lin asked.

"Well, I just got it today."

I don't know what Lin's opinion is, Li Yan can only answer truthfully.

"When will you take office?"

Lin asked again.

"Two months later, so I want to be able to marry Sister Yue'e before I take office again......"

At the mention of this, Li Yan's face turned red again.

"And when do you want to get married?"

Lin asked solemnly.

But in fact, my heart has blossomed.

The direction of this thing was really unexpected by her. originally thought that Li Yan was unwilling to marry his daughter after listening to the rumors outside, but he didn't expect that people would come tonight to agree on the day of marriage with him, and not only that, Li Yan actually became an official. Although the Lin family rarely dealt with people from the government, she still understood that the commerce and trade of the entire Rongzhou City were managed by a place called the Municipal Administration Department under the Yamen, and this Municipal Administration Order was the chief of the Municipal Administration Department, which managed the Municipal Administration Division.

This position, not to mention oil and water, and the power is also terrifying, the Lin family once imagined the future of his daughter, but he didn't expect that this girl with no virtue and no talent could marry so well.

"Huh? Oh, I looked for someone to look at the days, and they all said that the sixteenth day of the next month is the best, and it is the most suitable for our birthdays. ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the Lin family seemed to agree, so he hurriedly said.

The maid who poured the tea came in from outside at the right time, added water to each of the two cups, and then quietly withdrew.

The tea that had just been poured was still a little hot, Lin picked up the cup, gently touched the cup with the lid in his hand, and did not speak, but smiled with an unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth.

"Madam, do you see that this is the right day?"

After being silent for a while, Li Yan finally couldn't help it.

That's what Lin wants.

"Yan'er, although our Wang family is not a big family in Rongzhou City, it is better than ordinary people. Originally, a major event like marrying a daughter must have been sloppy. Whether it is a good day or an auspicious day, or a ceremony, everything must comply with the rules. However, we are two world friends, and you and Yue'e have been married since childhood, so naturally they are much closer than outsiders-"

Taking a sip of tea, Lin spoke.

The aged Biluochun brought back by Wang Huaiqing tastes really good.

"That's that......"

Li Yan hurriedly nodded in response.

"Although the family affairs of the two of you have been decided a long time ago, the number of etiquette should be the same, otherwise it will be bad to have more gossip in the eyes of outsiders. And now that you are a person with an official title, you can't do things in the slightest. However, on the day of marriage, since you are so hearted, you have already found a candidate, and you are worthy of the two of you, then I have no opinion. ”

After speaking, Lin picked up the cup and took advantage of the tea gap to carefully observe Li Yan's expression in the hall.

In fact, having said so much, the implication is not difficult to understand, it is okay for your Li family to set the day, but the etiquette such as hiring and entering the appointment cannot be less, or even more. In other words, to put it bluntly, as long as you can get enough money from the Li family, you can get married whenever you want.

"That's natural, please rest assured Madame."

Seeing that the Lin family agreed, Li Yan hurriedly responded.

With that out of the way, he can concentrate on his new business. Thinking like this, Li Yan couldn't wait to start looking forward to his good life in the future.

So when Wang Huaiqing came back with the Nanmen raw frying, he happened to meet Li Yan who was walking out of the lobby, and there was Lin next to him, followed by several small servants and maids, and the two people in front were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, so that Wang Huaiqing had an illusion that he had gone to the wrong house.

Seeing Wang Huaiqing, Li Yan greeted warmly, because of this family business, Wang Yue'e was still locked in the house, so Wang Huaiqing's attitude was not very good, the two simply greeted each other, and Li Yan was accompanied by the Lin family to go out.

Standing in front of the lobby, watching a group of people walk out of the Hanging Flower Gate, Wang Huaiqing suddenly didn't know what to think. His mother is so happy, I guess I have encountered some good news. But since Wang Yue'e was confined because of family affairs, Wang Huaiqing has felt more and more that many times, the good things of the Lin family are not necessarily the good things of the two of them.

"Your sister doesn't know how to be polite, why have you become so rude?"

After sending Li Yan back, Lin saw that Wang Huaiqing was still standing in the front yard, so he spoke.

"When guests come to the house, I don't know how to deliver them, and I have to work like this as an elderly person."

In the evening, he was in a good mood, and Lin's voice was much soothed compared to before.

"Mother, what you want is fried-"

Knowing Lin's urine, Wang Huaiqing didn't pay attention to it, but just handed her a bag of raw fried rice in his hand.

"Greasy, don't eat it, just throw it away......"

As he spoke, Lin took out a handkerchief and symbolically wiped his hands, then shook his steps past Wang Huaiqing and walked towards the main house.

Seeing Lin's appearance, Wang Huaiqing shook his head helplessly, this bag of raw fried, but he ran most of the East Street and queued up for a long time to buy it, and now he says that if he doesn't eat it, he won't eat it, and he has to throw it away himself.

Although the Wang family is "golden and jade", Wang Huaiqing knows the financial resources inside. The property left by his father before, except for this mansion, has basically been used up by his mother. Now the daily expenses of the entire Wang family all come from his income from the trading of medicinal materials. It is true that the medicinal material business is highly profitable, but the competition among peers is also great, in the past two years, the turnover of Wang Huaiqing's shop is not as good as day by day, and at the best time, it is basically maintained. The family is already like this, but his mother still doesn't know how to be modest, she is lavish in food and clothing, and she likes to compare with others.

Originally, the junior had no right to ask about these things, but during this period of time, Wang Huaiqing felt more and more that life was a little difficult, and this feeling of no one to say made him feel irritable inexplicably.

"Young Master......"

Wang Huaiqing sat at the stone table, his eyes staring at the raw fried food on the table.

There was a voice behind him.

"Xiaomei, what's wrong?"

turned his head and found that it was Wang Yue's personal maid Xiaomei, so he asked lightly.

Since Wang Yue'e was locked in the house, Xiaomei is responsible for the daily meals.

"Young master, Miss has something for you."

As she spoke, the maid named Xiaomei also looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, she quickly put the paper hidden in her arms on the table in front of Wang Huaiqing. The paper was folded squarely, and at first glance, it looked a bit like maltose sold on the street.

"This is? ……”

Wang Huaiqing stretched out his hand to put away the pieces of paper placed on the table, and asked softly.

The main house of the Lin family was at the back of the atrium, and this was the front yard, and ordinary voices could not reach her ears.

"Mademoiselle told me to give it to you. I don't know what it is. ”

Xiaomei whispered.

"Young master, then I'll go first."

Without waiting for Wang Huaiqing to speak, Xiaomei disappeared into the shade of the tree in an instant.

Because he was worried that something would happen to Wang Yue, after Xiaomei left, Wang Huaiqing didn't have the heart to sit down in the courtyard anymore, got up and walked quickly to the east chamber, he didn't have any other ideas now, he just hoped that Wang Yue'e would stop thinking about doing anything stupid.
