8. Dowry
Aunt Mei's face sank, she had long regarded Madame's things as her own, even for the sake of face, she only planned to give a small part of them to Leng Qiuling as a dowry, Aunt Mei's eyes rolled and she showed a smile and said, "Master, this eldest lady is not married yet, how embarrassing it is for you to say this in front of her, and now that Madame is gone, there is no one in charge of the house, I think the eldest lady's dowry will be handled by the concubine, what do you think." ”
Master Leng pondered for a while, the old lady in the house died early, and now the lady is gone, he is not a big man who is always good at handling this kind of woman's affairs, nodded and said, "Okay, I will hand over the matter of Qiu Ling's dowry to you, you must be careful, otherwise you will lose the face of our Leng family." ”
The smile on Aunt Mei's face became brighter and brighter, she took a step back and walked on the stool, tilted her head and said to Leng Qiuling, "Miss, since the master has already handed over the matter to me, you should also send the key to the lady's dowry as soon as possible, otherwise I really can't write this dowry list." ”
"Yes, Qiu Ling, you can send the key when you go back, what your mother left you is all good things." Master Leng also echoed on the side.
Leng Qiuling was 10,000 reluctant in her heart, she knew that as long as Aunt Mei got the key, it would be equivalent to giving away her mother's dowry, and she kept thinking of ways in her head, but there was no expression on her face.
"Eldest sister, Dad is talking to you, why don't you answer." Leng Qiuge stepped forward and pushed Leng Qiuling and said.
Master Leng's face is not very good-looking, he has always been a good character, but he didn't expect this daughter who has always been weak to ignore his words.
Leng Qiuling blinked, smiled at Master Leng and said, "Dad, I was thinking about where my mother's key was just now, so I lost my mind, please forgive me." After a pause, he said, "I remember that when my mother died, she seemed to give the key to Mama Gu, and then I went to Zhuangzi, Dad, do you know where Mama Gu is now?" I asked a few maids, but they didn't know where the key was, and I think I had to ask Mama Gu about this. ”
Aunt Mei had a puzzled look on her face, in the past three years, she hadn't been able to ask where the key was from the mouths of the maids, could it be that it was really on that old thing.
Old Man Leng's face also softened, and after thinking about it, he said, "Mei'er, I remember you told me that Mama Gu was taken back by his son, so do you know where her family is." "Master, this was all three years ago, how can I remember." Aunt Mei covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice, "Master, the concubine is a little uncomfortable, so go back first, as for the key, don't worry, you can always think of a way." ”
"Mei'er, you're fine, or let the doctor come and take a look." Master Leng asked with a concerned face.
Aunt Mei shook her head, held Dong Xue's hand and said, "No need master, it's okay for the concubine to go back and lie down, Qiu Ge, you go with your mother, your mother has something to tell you." ”
After saying that, Aunt Mei and her group left the main hall in a big way, Leng Qiuling pulled the corners of her mouth, but she didn't expect her to casually say a reason that some people really believed, okay, taking advantage of the time when Aunt Mei was looking for Mama Gu, she tried her best to get the dowry out of the warehouse.
"Dad, then I'll go back too, maybe my mother's key isn't with Mama Gu, I have to go back and find it."
"Well, go ahead." Old Man Leng waved his hand and stopped talking.
Leng Qiuling blessed her body and retreated with the maid, you tell me, along the way, Zhishu wanted to speak several times but Leng Qiuling glared back, and after arriving at the house, Zhihua carefully checked it, then closed the door and said, "Miss, why did you tell Aunt Mei that the key was with Mama Gu, saying this would kill her." ”
"Not really." Leng Qiuling didn't believe it, but seeing that several maids all had solemn expressions, she was also nervous, and asked worriedly, "Zhihua, you're not lying to me, it's just a key, how could it hurt Mama Gu's life." ”
