10 dowry

"Alas... It's also a poor person..."Mother Xie on the side also had red eyes.

"The concubines and the girls of the Taoyao Pavilion are all criminal slaves, and they are in the Qinglou, and their lives are cheap, so they didn't dare to alarm the mother, but the Taoyao Pavilion still has the signboard of the Jin Palace, and now they are being bullied, the ants are still stealing, the concubines are incompetent, and they ask the mother to be the master of us!" Cao's mother burst into tears, crying uncontrollably, but it still made people feel a sense of pity and pity.

Lin Mu'er's heart is heavy, she is all beautiful women, and now she has fallen into such a situation, it is really pitiful. Besides, this Taoyao Pavilion was rewarded by the emperor, this Wang Qing is so bold, regardless of the rules and hurts people, he doesn't put the Jin Wangfu and the Jin Princess in his eyes at all, is it really a soft persimmon in the Jin Palace!

Lin Mu'er said with a cold face: "Mother Cao, don't cry, it is the property of my Jin Palace, this princess has no reason not to protect it, you go back and bring a message to Miss Jinyu: If you don't want to see the fate of that Wang Qing, you don't need to take medicine!"

"Oops!" Cao's mother finally stopped crying and hurriedly agreed: "What else does the concubine need to do?"

"Find a master, write a statement, and hand it to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion Yin." Lin Mu'er slowly plucked the tea lid in front of him and said.

Cao's mother was a little dumbfounded: "Handing over the form?"

"It's not an exaggeration to accuse him of deliberately hurting people!" Lin Mu'er took a sip of tea gently, well, good tea! It is fragrant in the mouth and has a sweet aftertaste.

"But, but, how can there be a Qinglou woman who went to the yamen to complain, and the concubines are all criminal slaves, and the eldest prince Wang is the son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites..."

Lin Mu'er put down the teacup and smiled lightly, "It's okay, even if it's a criminal slave, the only one who can convict you is the official yamen, and it's not his turn to come to the wilderness, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites..." Lin Mu'er knocked on the table with his fingers unconsciously, "You go and hand over the certificate, when will the yamen take the case, you will send someone over to inform me!" ”

"Yes!" Cao's mother was still puzzled, but when she saw Princess Jin's determined face, she couldn't say anything, so she had to retire as she said.

Watching Cao's mother walk away, Lin Mu'er shook her neck, in order to see Cao's mother, she didn't pick up anything from her jewelry in the morning for most of the day, and her neck was a little sore, Lin Mu'er sighed slightly, supported her head with her hands, looked at the lotus flowers in the pond and said, "Lan Xue, what do you think?"

Lan Xue didn't expect Lin Mu'er to suddenly ask, and she couldn't react at once: "Niangniang..."

"Is this Wang Qing brainless or does he want to test me, the princess?" Lin Muer continued.

Lan Xue was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

"How much does your prince make enemies in the court?" Lin Mu'er didn't seem to be ready to listen to Lan Xue's answer, so she continued to ask.

"This, the slave maid is not clear, but the prince is not often in the capital..."Lan Xue was a little embarrassed.

"Can't you make enemies if you don't have in the capital?" Lin Mu'er looked at Lan Xue with some amusement, this girl is really a little simple.

Lan Xue was a little embarrassed, and blushed slightly, "That slave really doesn't know." ”

"That's it, the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, since he wants to make trouble, we can't hide, the days are so long, there must be something to do, right?" Lin Mu'er looked mischievously at Xie Ma and Lan Xue.

"Yes! Miss! Let's go back and rest, I've been tired for most of the day, and my body is not completely well! Mother Xie persuaded with some distress, although the current young lady is a little strange, not as dull and silent as before, there are many more calculations and thoughts, but it seems to be extremely vivid and reassuring, this seems to be a calm and waveless Jin Wangfu, there is no means, I am afraid that I will be eaten and there is no bone residue left!

"Alright, let's go back!" Although Lin Mu'er was a little reluctant, she couldn't hold on to it in the end, and this lotus flower couldn't run away, so I'll come back in a few days.

Back at Weiyueju, Hongxing and Qingcheng greeted them, waiting for Lin Mu'er to go to bed to rest, Qingcheng was afraid that she was crying hard, her eyes were red and swollen, Lin Mu'er took a look, and sighed slightly in her heart: What a casual little girl!

"Miss, Qingcheng will pay attention in the future, and he won't embarrass Miss!" After waiting for Lin Mu'er to lie down, Qingcheng suddenly knelt down.

"What is this doing, hurry up!" Lin Mu'er was startled, sat up and said.

"The slave and maid have embarrassed the young lady today, and the slave and maid will definitely pay attention to the green orange and not cause trouble for the young lady!" Qingcheng said, and tears came down.

"You!" Lin Mu'er was angry and funny, and said: "It's not a big deal, you are young, just follow Mother Xie and Lan Xue to learn more in the future!"

"Hmm!" Qingcheng nodded fiercely and wiped her tears.

"Alright, go down and wipe your face! If you do this again, the young lady won't be able to sleep! Mother Xie hung up her clothes and walked over to playfully say.

"Good!"

"This girl!" Mother Xie helped Lin Mu'er to lie down and covered the quilt, "Miss, go to sleep!" ”

Lin Mu'er nodded, her body was indeed not completely well, and after most of the day, her head began to hurt, so she closed her eyes, stopped thinking, and slept quietly.

When I woke up, it was full of sunshine outside the house, and Lin Mu'er calmly washed her hands and cleaned her face from Qingcheng, but she secretly regretted sleeping until this hour again.

"Don't wear that much!" Seeing Qingcheng carrying a bunch of clothes, Lin Mu'er hurriedly stopped, "It's still cool, and it's so late, don't go out in the yard, don't wear it so grandly, just be light and simple!" ”

Qingcheng nodded, took out a light cyan light long skirt from the cage, and only a goose-yellow belt was loosely tied around the waist, and only the waist was thin and soft, and it was held in a tight hand.

After taking care of it, Lin Mu'er was eating soft and glutinous osmanthus red bean paste, and Mother Xie walked in with a calm face, and Lan Xue, who was following behind, was holding a few picture scrolls, and her face was not very good-looking.

"What's going on?" Lin Mu'er was a little puzzled, looked at Lan Xue, Lan Xue wanted to speak and stopped, looked at Xie's mother, seeing this, Lin Mu'er put down the spoon and asked with a smile: "But there is an ignorant girl who makes my mother angry?" Mom, don't be angry, I'll let people send them out in a while! ”

"Miss!" When Mother Xie heard this, her face looked a little better, but she still had a wooden face, "It's not about the girl!" ”

"What's going on?"

Mother Xie took the painting in Lan Xue's hand and put it on the table in the study, and did not answer Lin Mu'er's words, but only said: "Miss come and choose, are you satisfied with these paintings?" ”

Lin Mu'er walked over slowly, glanced at the picture scroll, and gently touched the picture with her fingers: "Paintings, naturally they are all good paintings, not to mention that they are all picked by my mother herself, but..."

In a word, Mother Xie immediately turned red: "Miss..."

"Say, I, the princess of Jin, will help you decide everything!" Lin Mu'er took Xie's mother's hand and patted it gently.

Mother Xie choked and shook her head: "It's not a slave, it's the Hou Mansion who deceives people too much..."

"Oh?" Lin Mu'er raised her eyebrows, "How do you say that?" ”

"At noon, the young lady said that she wanted to choose a few paintings to hang up, and the slave maid thought about simply opening the storeroom, and picked out the paintings in the dowry, and the result... It turned out that the young lady's dowry was only half! ”

"Only half?" Lin Mu'er was a little puzzled, "What do you mean only half?" ”

Mother Xie wiped her tears, smoothed her breath, and continued: "But when you get married, none of the objects are not in pairs, and the intention is to be auspicious, but Miss's dowry ......"

"Half, all the dowries are just a single piece, right?" Lin Mu'er felt a slight chill in her heart, put down Mother Xie's hand, and silently walked to the window and sat down, "Heh! Mom, why should I be angry, I didn't have a pair in the first place! Lin Mu'er's tone was light.

"Miss..."Mother Xie saw Lin Mu'er sitting in front of the window with her back to her, and her heart felt uncomfortable for a while: "Even so, Mrs. Hou shouldn't humiliate you like this!"

Lin Mu'er didn't speak, just sat quietly, originally thought that no matter whether she was Lin Mu'er or not, since she didn't remember anything, these family love didn't matter at all, as long as she lived her own life, but now when she heard Mother Xie say this, her heart still couldn't stop being sour, sullen, like a ball of cotton, she couldn't spit it out, she couldn't swallow it.

After a while, Lin Mu'er said in a dumb voice: "You guys go out first, I want to be quiet!"

Lan Xue and the others looked at each other, blessed their bodies, and went down, Mother Xie was a little worried, but when she saw Lin Mu'er like this, she also knew that she couldn't persuade her, sighed, wiped her tears and went out.

I don't know how long I sat there, the sky outside had completely darkened, Lin Mu'er rubbed her sour eyes, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: It's really troubled! Although she is a girl who is out of the cabinet, but this palace is a serious master herself, if her mother can support her best, if not, it doesn't matter, after all, I really don't have much impression of them, and they, I'm afraid I don't have a good impression of myself...... That's it, I am the second lady of the Hou Mansion, and I think of the credit for their birth and upbringing, forget it! In the future, it will be regarded as an ordinary relative, and it is just a matter of giving some gifts during the New Year's holidays, and it is not enough to say how much affection there is.

"Miss, but... Need some dinner? Outside the door, Qingcheng asked cautiously with some concern.

"Come in!" Lin Mu'er rubbed her face and sighed.

A few girls walked in cautiously with dinner, and Mother Xie also followed with a look of annoyance, and several people deliberately relaxed their steps, for fear of arguing with the master.

Lin Mu'er felt a little comforted in her heart, although she was the master, but they also cared about her as the master, right? After all, when I suddenly heard this kind of behavior from my mother's family, I was sad that my closest relatives didn't care about her, and she was blatantly bullied, and she was a little puzzled and lost for a while.

"Miss, today's gourd was just sent from Zhuangzi, and it is new this year, and it is very tender!" Mother Xie said with a plate of white and tender slices of gourd meat.

Lan Xue helped Lin Mu'er sit at the table, Lin Mu'er nodded, "Then try it!" ”

Seeing that Lin Mu'er was eating as usual, and her appetite was not affected by the dowry, she couldn't help but glance at Mother Xie and breathe a sigh of relief.

For dinner, in the nervous eyes of several girls, Lin Mu'er unconsciously ate half a cup of dessert, these people's relieved expressions made Lin Mu'er feel a little funny, I thought about going to the garden to consume food after eating, but I didn't think that the rain in late autumn would float down, so I had to give up, and found a miscellaneous book and slowly flipped through it on the chaise longue in the study.
