As the governor of Jinyi Wei Zuo, he killed people in Yangzhou back then.

After arriving in Chang'an, he presided over the crackdown in the capital, although he did not kill a few people, but he put most of the ruffians and hooligans into military training and labor reeducation, and he cleaned up a lot of people.

Now that he has come to Songjiang and returned to his old business, Lin Zhao is familiar with it.

He personally sat in charge of Songjiang's "strike hard" campaign, which was carried out vigorously and resolutely, that is, two days of work, most of the cases had already been concluded, and those who had lives on their bodies were killed and stolen from their homes, those who abducted and sold women were also killed and stolen from their homes, those who had fought and injured people were all killed and stolen from their homes, and the rest of the people were all forced to work hard for several years.

After calculation, the county sentenced more than 250 people to death in one day, and more than 800 people were sentenced to hard labor, which was really a harsh punishment, and the confiscated family property was also rich.

If you count the cadres who were killed on the street yesterday, the number of people who have died and will die in these two days has almost exceeded four or five hundred, which directly frightened the squires and people of Songjiang Mansion, and they were cautious and cautious, not daring to violate the king's law in the slightest.

According to the law of the Great Zhou, even if the county order sentences the execution, the prisoner will not be beheaded immediately, and it must be reported layer by layer as usual, and then the criminal department will be summarized to the Son of Heaven for execution.

This went up step by step from the grassroots level to the Jingshi Palace, and had to go through a number of formalities, which were approved by officials at various levels, and many judgments were rejected in the process of approval, and a retrial was requested.

But as soon as the verdict presided over by Lin Zhao was reported, whether it was in the government or in the province, there was no half-word obstruction, it was directly signed with the seal, and then reported, all the way to Chang'an.

You must know that in the feudal era, Confucianism and etiquette soaked into the officialdom, everyone paid attention to "benevolence and righteousness", and if a ruling official sentenced too much to death, there would be no good words in the performance appraisal, at least it was difficult to take off the hat of "cool official".

Of course, there are policies and countermeasures, and it is not impossible for officials not to wear the hat of "cool officials", but to clean up the bullies and ruffians under their rule.

Just one station cage can kill people.

When the verdict was sent to the Criminal Department, he saw so many people who had been sentenced to death, and the waiter of the Criminal Department couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to discuss with the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

"My lord, Songjiang Mansion is really not like talking now, and it is ridiculous to report the death sentences of two or three hundred people in one breath, this Lin Zhao is clearly careless of human life!"

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at him, and just said:

"Songjiang Mansion's documents, what's wrong with them?"

"I don't see this, but the confessions and paintings are complete. ”

"Then you will report to the palace and let the king judge be, what are you doing?"

"My lord, Lin Zhaowu has a mentality, and regards human life as a mustard, as a criminal department, we are in charge of the world's criminal prisons, how can we sit back and watch the people of Songjiang not be poisoned by him?"

Lin Zhao has never taken any life in disregard of people, and every person he kills is complete! It's not that Songjiang Mansion is in a mess and has to use heavy regulations? If it is a peaceful area, how could Prince Zhongshun come back some time ago? Just tell me what you say, if you really stab it out, I'm afraid that even the Son of Heaven will hate you. ”

The servant of the criminal department who said it was silent and didn't dare to say it again.

He didn't say anything in the yamen, but when he went out to get together with friends, he couldn't help but say it.

How do you know that the friend is also hand-eyed, and sneered when he heard this: "Lin Zhao is a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he has filled the inner treasury of the Son of Heaven with 20 million silver, which thing is not thorough, shocking the past and the present? Why go to Songjiang to kill a few gangsters to show his majesty? In my opinion, it must be the Songjiang Mansion that is making trouble, which makes him murderous, Your Majesty is so eloquent, if you want to make it difficult for him, I am afraid that even Your Majesty will make it difficult for you!"

When the squire of the criminal department heard this, his face was red and white, and he stopped talking.

Although there were some discussions in the court, Lin Zhao simply ignored them in Songjiang, and now he has confiscated the money obtained from his family, and there are thousands of young and strong people in the area of Songjiang Mansion who have been sorted out through the crackdown, and then through the "work for relief", tens of thousands of people have been expropriated, and the progress of various projects has been promoted.

So in just half a month, after Lin Zhao's arrival, the opening of Songjiang Port finally began to make great improvements, and various projects moved forward in an orderly manner.

Songjiang opened its port and officially embarked on the track, albeit under the coercion of a butcher's knife.

Build a harbor near the sea, build a river near the river, divide the area in a checkerboard way, each area has a fixed public use, recruit a lot of errand officials, and take care of everything.

To put it simply, the city is well organized, orderly expansion, to provide fast, concise and clean services to merchants from all over the world, and at the same time to maintain law and order by force.

At the same time, Lin Zhao began to operate in Yangzhou, and arranged for the fleet developed by his capable men to begin to come in handy.

They went around fighting pirates, establishing rules and guaranteeing the benefits of maritime transport.

For Lin Zhao, the reason why he didn't care about the little gold and silver supplied to the emperor at all was because he had a greater source of income.

Because the Great Zhou Dynasty was similar to the Ming Dynasty, the coastal defense forces were mainly on land, so the maritime merchants made a fortune.

And Lin Zhao now has hundreds of sea ships, and nearly 10,000 soldiers who can fight well, and Lin Zhao has been managing this fleet as a clone.

The main income is from maritime business and the collection of taxes and fees from sea passages.

The annual income is only a lot more than that of the royal family.

After the port of Matsue Prefecture was built and the pier was completed, enthusiasm soared.

Songjiang is located near the river and the sea, there are already several natural harbors, and now it will be built as soon as measures are taken, and larger tonnage ships can be berthed immediately, so that loading and unloading can be carried out more conveniently, and at the same time, the renovation and widening of the river and the maintenance of the road are in progress.

The roads are smooth, it is more convenient for merchants to come and go, and it is more convenient to transport goods, even if there are no goods from the sea in Songjiang Prefecture, he has the world's largest cotton cloth production, and the various counties are extremely rich, and now this convenience is also worth everyone to come and see, and expand the scale when doing business in the future.

Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Jinling, and even Yangzhou in Jiangbei, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, and Huzhou in Zhejiang are also full of businessmen.

The weather is getting colder day by day, but Songjiang Mansion is getting hot day by day.

However, Lin Zhao did not stay in Songjiang Mansion for long.

After the Chinese New Year, he wrote to the emperor, because his sister got married, as a brother, he didn't want to miss it, so he wanted the emperor to take a leave of absence for two months and return to Beijing to marry his sister.

Emperor Xiaode naturally would not refuse.

So when the first month of the ninth year of filial piety was about to end, when Songjiang Mansion continued to be hot, as the promoter of the opening of Songjiang Port, Lin Zhao took his wife Baochai back to Beijing by boat.

Lin Zhao's makeup for Meimei had been handed over to Jia Min long before he left Beijing.

And Jia Min only has one daughter, Daiyu, who regards it as a treasure and refuses to let her be wronged, plus the Lin family is rich, Lin Ruhai and Lin Zhao are both clever people, and the dowry given to Daiyu is really incomparably rich.

The days passed quickly, and on February 11, Daiyu put on makeup. The people who came to add makeup to her looked at her dazzling dowry, and their eyes straightened: Is this the entire Lin family filled in to the lord of Langhuan as a dowry? This is too much, right? Imperial silk, imperial ruyi, houses, shops, land, Zhuangzi, gold and silver jewelry, antique utensils, several large boxes of calligraphy and paintings, red sandalwood, huanghuali furniture, fine furs, Western medicine, Western dressing mirrors, Western gadgets...... A bunch of things filled the Lin family's hall.

Many hostesses who are well versed in business and finance secretly calculate in their hearts, and they can't help but smack their tongues.

The dowry of the county lord of Langhuan, roughly calculated, is not worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Princess Yi, who came to watch the ceremony, said with a smile: "Uncle Xiaohuang is making a fortune." ”

Princess Zhongshun sighed silently: "Lin Shangshu really loves the county lord. With such a rich dowry, I am afraid that no one will be able to match it for more than ten years. ”

Princess Beijing was conceited that she had a rich dowry, and she couldn't help sighing at this time: In this world, daughters are not as expensive as their sons, and there are men in the family, which family is willing to give half of the family property to their daughters as a dowry?

But everyone thought about it, Lin Jiaguang sent 20 million taels to the emperor's internal money, and now the dowry for his daughter is only a few hundred thousand, what is it?

Speaking of which, is it still the name of the good money boy who is loyal and diligent, and the father and sister of the prosperous father are actually ordinary?

Mother Jia really didn't feel good in her heart: if she had planned before, these would have been her treasures, but now they .......

Thinking of this, she secretly glared at Mrs. Wang, and was really annoyed in her heart: This short-sighted and competitive stupid woman can kill her Baoyu alive and dead, although the Xia family is rich, but Xia Jingui is not generally able to control it, not to mention that her background is too low.

On the other hand, Mrs. Wang has been like a wood carving clay sculpture since she entered the Lin Mansion, and she has not spoken. Even when I saw Daiyu's shocking dowry, I didn't see any expression.

Among the sisters, Sister Feng, Yingchun, Xichun, Baoqin and others have all seen Daiyu's dowry for a long time, so they just stood aside with a smile, but Xia Jingui and Jia Tanchun and others have never seen it, especially Xia Jingui, although her face is not obvious, her heart is like a stormy wave, and her mouth is secretly bitter: the key to her ability to gain a firm foothold in the Jia family is the rich dowry, I heard that her mother-in-law values the Xia family and disdains the Lin family, one of the reasons is that the Lin family is dedicated to earning money for the emperor, but she suffers herself.

Now it seems that people have handed over most of their income to the emperor, but the rest of the leakage points with their fingers can also let the lord of Langhuan walk sideways in the capital!

Now the dowry of the Lin family is unprecedentedly rich, but I am afraid that I will be disgusted by her in the future. Then I thought about it again: It's okay, my mother-in-law seems to be shrewd, but because she can't read, she doesn't know many truths at all, she only needs to use a little means, and she doesn't lead her by the nose?

If you want to look at yourself, you have to see if you have the ability!

Anyway, I don't need to "make rules", I'm afraid where he will come from?

It's a big deal, it's a big deal to turn him upside down!

Daiyu's rich dowry naturally came to the palace.

After hearing this, Emperor Xiaode nodded with satisfaction and sighed: "Although the Lin family is a pure minister, they know that they plan for themselves after all, but they only keep such a little silver, and I feel a little shabby." ”

Dai Quan bowed down and smiled, but did not dare to speak.

Because only the emperor can say this.

Dai Quan said that everything was wrong.

The 12th Flower Festival in February is a big day for Daiyu to go out of the pavilion. The weather is sunny, the breeze is gentle, and the weather that was a little cold yesterday has warmed up today, like a warm spring, and the flowers in the capital have bloomed in an instant. Emperor Xiaozhang touched the flowers sent by the palace people, and said with a smile to Dai Quan: "I can see flowers during the Flower Festival, which is also the only thing I have seen in my life." ”

Dai Quan bowed down and said with a smile: "A long time ago, the slave maid once heard a strange story, when the lord of Langhuan was born, Yangzhou City bloomed in three days without thanks. It's just that after a long time, the slave doesn't know if this rumor is true. ”

Emperor Xiaozhang laughed and said, "What if it's really true? Lin Ruhai is shrewd, where is he willing to let his own girl be like the broken stone in Jiafu, and he can't wait to publicize it everywhere. ”

Dai Quan smiled and said: "That family is really too ignorant. ”

Emperor Xiaozhang nodded, and suddenly asked Dai Quan: "What Concubine Xiande has rewarded to Jiafu now, is it still the same as before, forgetting General Jia and his wife?"

Dai Quan thought carefully and said, "It's not all forgotten, the Chinese New Year's Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival ceremonies are not forgotten." ”

Emperor Xiaozhang asked: "When she first entered the old mansion, it was written on the name of the concubine of the Duke of Jia's mansion?"

Dai Quan said: "Exactly. The slave maid still remembered that the sign of Concubine Xiande read, "The daughter of Jia Cunzhou, the second son of Rongguo Mansion, and the uncle Jia Enhou, the general of Yipin". Emperor Taishang remembered Jia Guogong's merits and rewarded her for her dignity in entering the mansion. ”

Emperor Xiaozhang sneered and said no more.

Let's talk about Daiyu's gift. In order to come today, Lin Zhao's subordinates can all ask for leave.

Among them, Gu Haiquan, Han Wenchong, Feng Ziying, and Shen Lian were all unmarried, so they made up the four King Kongs and were responsible for embarrassing the groom in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion.

has been following Lin Zhao for too long, and the four of them are quite lawless, making trouble everywhere, and the means are one after another, including poetry, red envelopes, and sword dance.

But the people invited by Prince Heng to help should not be underestimated, all of them are full of weight, they are the commander of the forbidden army, and they are the general of Zhaowu, and even his own four nephews have come out.

His four nephews are no more than ordinary people, maybe one of them will become the Ninety-Five in the future, so everyone didn't dare to go too far, and when they saw that the auspicious time was approaching, they hurriedly let them go.

Sister Feng and the others listened to the excitement coming from front of them inside, and they couldn't stop laughing. Finally Fengguan Xia was sent in, and everyone was busy changing Daiyu, and Lin Zhao, as the elder brother, came in to carry Daiyu on the sedan chair.

Daiyu had been crying in Jia Min's arms for a long time, but when she saw her brother at this time, she wanted to cry again, but Lin Zhao comforted her and said: "On the big day, my sister should also be happy." Otherwise, wouldn't my father and mother have to worry? Don't worry, the two of us are close, and you can come back whenever you want. ”

Daiyu held back her tears, nodded gently, leaned on Lin Zhao's back, and followed him out step by step, but she couldn't hold back, and when she arrived at the door, Daiyu's tears had already dripped, Lin Zhao's entire back.

......

After Daiyu's wedding, Lin Zhao's vacation was almost over, and he was ready to leave Chang'an with Baochai.

Of course, before leaving Chang'an, he and Tanchun met in private, but it was just a mountain alliance and sea oath.

But when he was about to leave, there was news about Feng Ziying's errand.

He wanted to be motivated, so he was assigned a Luoyang garrison and would take office soon.

Shenwu General Feng Tang was reluctant to let his son stay away alone, so he wrote to Feng Ziying to ask for another month's marriage leave.

Feng Ziying couldn't cry or laugh: "Old man, what the hell are you doing? The fourth girl is only fourteen years old, how can she get married?"

Feng Tang Zhenzhen said: "Why can't you get married at the age of fourteen? Everyone who gets married at the age of twelve or thirteen has them." Besides, your group of brothers are now married, you are in office this time, your Qiu Niang is pregnant again, she can't travel far, and there is no one around you to take care of her, so how can it be? Even if Qiu Niang follows you, the backyard is not easy to socialize. Therefore, you should also get married, at most two years later, the round house is, what's the big deal. ”

Feng Ziying couldn't be told by her father, so she had to say: "This is your wishful thinking, have you asked people what they mean?

Feng Tang sneered: "I will speak personally, then Jia Zhen still dare, if he dares, Lao Tzu can break his legs!"

Feng Ziying hurriedly stopped: "Old man, you are almost inseparable, is it a marriage or a feud, what's the matter with beating people at every turn?" and said disgustedly: "Just like you, when I beat the son of the Duwei family in the old years, you still have the face to talk about me." ”

Feng Tang Zhengse said: "That's different, Lao Qiu is the deputy marshal of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and he is also in charge of the patrol battalion, and the son of the teacher is also shrewd, you do it with him, it is not right for you to do it, but what is Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion? Calling him General Jia can be regarded as lifting him." Regardless of how Feng Ziying stopped her, she ordered someone to invite Mrs. Feng and asked her to talk to Sister Feng in person.

As soon as Sister Feng heard what Mrs. Feng said about the Feng family, she didn't even have time to hesitate, and immediately patted her chest and agreed: "Madame, don't worry, it's all on me." Madame, let's go back and prepare for the wedding, the dowry of the fourth sister has been complete a long time ago, but now it is in a hurry and very thoughtful. ”

Mrs. Feng was surprised, so she went back and asked Feng Tang and Feng Ziying with doubts: "...... The second grandmother said that the fourth girl's dowry had been completed a long time ago?

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "This, when Master Jing was still there, Second Grandma Lian said that she moved Master Jing, not only let the fourth girl go to Princess Lin as a female official, but also left a dowry for the fourth girl in advance, which was stored with Brother Lin, so now Second Grandma Lian will say so." ”

Mrs. Feng couldn't help but admire when she heard this: "This second grandmother Lian is a smart person, although the Jia Lian she married is not bad, but it's a pity that she entered that place and set up such a family." ”

and said happily: "When we communicated, we all looked at it, the four girls were brought out by the second grandmother of Lian, the second grandmother of Lian is such a person, the four girls must not be far behind, and the face of Princess Lin, you kid is rare to do a serious thing this time." ”

Feng Ziying smiled: "Look at what my mother said, haven't I done anything serious before?"

Mrs. Feng snorted coldly and said: "What serious things have you done in the past? What is the top brand of Cuiyi Building? Hua Dan of Peach Garden? The head of the Jin family? Which one is a decent person? Which Qiu Niang of yours is a popular girl? I am only glad that you know the rules so good or bad, and you will make trouble outside, and you have not done anything ugly to the maids in your own house, otherwise look at how I will teach you!"

Feng Ziying touched her nose and didn't dare to speak.

Feng Tang said lightly: "Those of us who have titles, without a wife and son-in-law, it is inappropriate after all, if that Qiu Niang gives birth to a son, you have to teach him well, but you can only give him a means of livelihood!"

Feng Ziying nodded silently.

When Mrs. Feng saw that he was well-behaved, she calmed down a little and said: "The fourth girl is a good girl, and you personally asked for it, you must treat her well when you marry her, even if you can't round the house in the first two years, you have to know how to restrain yourself, don't mess around, and chill people's hearts, otherwise, don't talk about Princess Lin and Uncle Lin, I won't spare you for the first one." ”

Feng Ziying hurriedly smiled and said, "Mother rest assured, my son can save weight." ”

Mrs. Feng snorted, "It's good to know the severity." Turning his head, he discussed with Feng Tang about welcoming his relatives.

After Sister Feng got the news, she didn't go back to Jia's mother first, but went straight to Hengwang's Mansion to pick up Xichun, and told Daiyu and others what the Feng family meant, and finally said: "According to me, I can't ask for what the Feng family means." Although Feng Gongzi is going to the local area, we will inevitably have to be separated from the fourth sister for two or three years, but it also saves the fourth sister from being affected by our family in the future, saving a lot of trouble. ”

Daiyu and others also agreed with Sister Feng's words, although they were reluctant in their hearts, but in the end, avoiding trouble was the first priority. Sister Feng got the support of the sisters, became more and more determined, secretly planned in her heart, and discussed with Daiyu and others, first took Xichun back to Rongguo Mansion, but she rushed to Ningguo Mansion non-stop.

When Jia Zhen heard about the Feng family's plan, she was a little hesitant.

Sister Feng knew very well what Jia Zhen was hesitating about, so she said, "Brother Zhen is worried that the time is too rushed?" Without waiting for Jia Zhen to say anything, Sister Feng quickly said: "Don't worry about this matter, Brother Zhen doesn't have to worry about this, but my sister has also handled several family affairs such as the second sister and Sister Xing, these rules and processes are all familiar, that is, which things and which store are good, and they all know, so Brother Zhen can only hand it over to his sister with peace of mind, and keep it for you to do it beautifully, so as not to lose the face of our two mansions." ”

Jia Zhen listened to Sister Feng's words, his mood was still not relaxed, he frowned and said: "I naturally believe in the ability of the eldest sister." It's just that it's hard now, the house has been thrifty, according to the original plan, my sister will be married in two or three years, I plan to be more difficult in the past few years, so as to save a sum of money, so as not to wronged my sister in the future. But if the day is mentioned now, it is necessary to do things immediately, and the money in the house ...... Although the rents from all over the country are about to be delivered, but now that the disaster is being reported everywhere, the rent has to be discounted. And the New Year is approaching, and many things such as New Year's ceremonies, New Year's wine, sacrifices, etc., need silver taels, which ...... Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to make up much for a while, and I'm worried that I've wronged my sister. ”

Sister Feng was disdainful in her heart: I don't have the money to buy a dowry for my fourth sister, and I have the money to spend all my time outside to make a concubine? Who can I deceive? It's just that Brother Zhen told me the truth, how much dowry can the house give to the fourth sister now?"

Jia Zhen estimated in her heart and hesitated: "Five thousand...... No, ten thousand taels of silver. ”

Sister Feng was surprised: "10,000 taels? When the second sister got married, it was only 10,000 taels." In terms of the identity of the fourth sister, but the concubine, this is only 10,000 taels, will it be too little?"

Jia Zhen said embarrassedly: "I also know that I have wronged my sister, but now it is really difficult in the house." No matter how frugal I am, at most I can only make up another five or six thousand taels, and if I have more, I will have to celebrate the New Year, and besides, I have to take care of the life of the family. ”

Sister Feng sneered in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "In this case, Brother Zhen will give me this fifteen thousand taels of silver." There must also be subsidies from the ancestors, Sister Lin said that the fourth sister had the name of a female official next to her, so she said to Cousin Lin that she also had to buy some things, so the three parties combined, although it is not comprehensive, it is not too much worse, and it will also be in line with the identity of the fourth sister. It's not enough, the sisterhood between me and my fourth sister for so many years is not fake, I paid out of my own pocket to make up for her. It's a little hurried, and I must make sure that the fourth sister's family affairs are beautiful and decent, so that outsiders don't see the jokes. ”

When Jia Zhen heard this, she was very grateful: "Big sister, I have you for it." And immediately ordered Jia Rong to go out to spread the word and ask the account office to take 15,000 taels of silver to Sister Feng. He also ordered You Shi to say: "In the end, you are your sister-in-law, that is, the eldest sister took the work, you have to go over to help, you can't help with big things, and some chores should also be done." ”

Where is Sister Feng willing to let the You family intervene, if the You family comes, how can the dowry of Xichun be taken out from Lin Zhao? So she hurriedly said: "Brother Zhen also said, the New Year is approaching, everything is busy, and the eldest sister-in-law is no better than me, she is an idler, just waiting to eat, drink and have fun - she is the grandmother of Ning Guofu in the end, and she is the patriarch of our clan, she has to arrange all kinds of personal contacts during the New Year's Festival, and she also has to take care of the sacrificial affairs of the clan, so she is very busy." Besides, these are the top priorities, related to the decency of our family, and we can't be negligent at all, if for the sake of the fourth sister, we divide the sister-in-law's energy and delay the major affairs of our family, and the fourth sister is also uneasy. Therefore, the matter of the fourth sister, if the sister-in-law is willing to do her best, she will help arrange the wedding wine on the right day - you will also have a New Year's wine in your house, these two rules are poor, and they are not too much different, they are all eating, drinking, watching plays, and jokes, and the sister-in-law will arrange it together. ”

You Shi was naturally happy and relaxed, so he smiled and said: "Feng Yatou arranged it very much, even so, the wedding wine of our four girls is under my control, and the rest is on you, you have to carefully handle it for our four girls, if there is a little difference, we will not follow." ”

Sister Feng said with a smile: "My sister is doing things, my brother and sister-in-law just rest assured, there will be no mistakes." ”

After returning to Rongguo Mansion, Sister Feng went to see Jia's mother again, and as soon as she told the Feng family's words and the meaning of Ning Guofu, Jia's mother said: "Although according to the rules, the four girls are from the mansion over there, and the dowry should come out of the mansion over there." But she grew up in our house since she was a child, and she was filial to me every day, and I hurt her so much, I had to watch her get married in a beautiful way. I also know that the house is difficult now, and I can't even move a little money left. Even so, I don't use the money in the public school, compared with the second girl, I paid 10,000 yuan in my private room to make a dowry for the fourth girl. He said to Sister Feng again: "Don't be sloppy with me, according to your sister Lin's temperament and the dowry of the four girls, she must have prepared something there, and you can add it." There is a precedent for the second girl's family, the fourth girl is the daughter of Ning Guofu, how can this dowry be richer than the second girl. ”

Sister Feng first lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and then said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from the eyes of the ancestors." Cousin Lin and Sister Lin said that they wanted to buy some things for the fourth sister as a dowry, and I originally wanted to keep some good things out privately, but who knew that the ancestors were aware of everything, and they immediately saw my careful thinking thoroughly, and also mentioned the specifications. Now, not only Cousin Lin and Sister Lin's things can't be kept, I'm afraid I have to post some of them upside down. Saying that, he pretended to cry: "Ancestor, you have pitted me." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, and Jia Mu smiled: "It's to cheat you! You were originally a sister-in-law, and you should also make up for your sister!"

Sister Feng cried even louder. While everyone was laughing, Xia Jingui glanced at Mrs. Wang, and saw that she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and there was no smile on her face, the whole person had a cold taste, and she couldn't help sneering in her heart, but she didn't see it, and turned her head to laugh with everyone as if she hadn't seen it.

Because Feng Ziying was about to take office, the Feng family proposed to do the family affairs as soon as possible, and Sister Feng responded in one bite, taking Mama Wang and Feng'er to recall Xiaohong, who was married to Jia Yun, and did the family affairs of Xichun in a hurry, and Xichun hid in the lotus root and couldn't come out.

After discussing with Feng Ziying, Sister Feng seriously purchased the dowry of Xichun. Fortunately, the industry entrusted to Lin Zhao over the years, except for the calligraphy, painting, antique and jewelry that was left behind, most of the things have been invested by Lin Zhao, and the past few years have been very rich.

Therefore, Xichun pressed the box with a considerable amount of silver, which was 80,000 taels, and other things were not eye-catching. Land Zhuangzi and the like, on the contrary, it is easy to do tricks, other people's homes are an acre of a piece of soil, and their own family is a piece of soil, as long as the dowry list is clearly written. Daiyu smiled evilly and said to Sister Feng: "Sister-in-law should also write a number of private rooms to marry the fourth sister." ”

When Xichun heard this, his face turned red, and he immediately rushed over to tear Daiyu's mouth.

But Lin Daiyu is now Princess Heng, posing as a princess, and Xichun can only pause fiercely.

Sister Feng didn't bother to pay attention to their sisters, and pulled Baoqin to discuss, if Xichun followed Feng Ziying out, what should she bring with her. Baochai, Yingchun, Xing Xiuyan and others also came to help. The sisters got together and discussed, and unanimously decided that they should bring more books and medicinal materials, the former to cultivate sentiments, and the latter to prepare one; to bring more jewelry, silk and light antiques, one to look decent, and the other to facilitate gifts; and not to bring the big furniture, vases, etc., so that there is no burden. Bring more silver taels, 20,000 taels is enough, if there is any special product you like, you can have money to buy it.

After this purchase, when it comes to the spring makeup, the dowry will seem decent, and there is nothing too out of line. Daiyu also gave Xichun a lot of Western things, but Feng Ziying has also bought a lot of those things in Guangzhou in recent years, so the Feng family is not short of these, but it's okay.

Jia Zhen looked at Xichun's dowry and sighed: except for the silver in the box, other things are not much richer than the dowry of the second sister in the past. In terms of identity, my sister is wronged. Only Jia Zhen couldn't say anything, the two governments only gave Sister Feng a total of 25,000 taels of silver, and Sister Feng was able to leave 20,000 taels for Xichun as a pressure box of silver, and it was already very careful to use 5,000 taels of silver and the things given by the Lin family to buy such a considerable dowry.

When adding makeup, Jia Zhen felt guilty, so she took a three-foot-tall red coral in her private room to You Shi, and asked her to add it to Xichun. Mother Jia also gave a ruby bonsai and a crown of pearls, which was gorgeous. The rest of the people didn't give it one by one, and Sister Feng couldn't help but smile and added it to Xichun, so she quietly said to Xichun: "They all think you are wronged." ”

Xichun said helplessly: "A family of flesh and blood, such precautions and calculations are not a good thing." ”

Sister Feng said with a straight face: "If they are good, it is naturally not appropriate to be so defensive and calculating, but their virtue, if they don't be so precautionary and calculating, your things will be gone a long time ago." Besides, you will not receive them in vain, for there will be a time to pay them back. Besides, those things were left to you by Master Jing, and they weren't stolen by yourself, so naturally you should keep them in your own pocket. He pointed at the red coral and sneered: "And it's not me saying it behind my back, look at this, I'm afraid that there are many more good things in their private room than in yours." ”

Xichun sighed and stopped talking.

On February 28, he got married. After returning to the door of the Three Dynasties, Feng Ziying asked Xichun to pack up the valuables that she did not plan to take away from the dowry, along with her income over the years, and go to the Lin family to visit relatives.

Only when it was handed over to Lin Zhao, a good wealth boy, for safekeeping, did everyone feel at ease.

However, Lin Zhao could only seal these in his secret warehouse.

Because Daiyu, Sister Feng, Yingchun and others were also there, after the delivery of the things, everyone gossiped.

Xichun exaggerated and said: "What my husband said was right, except for my parents-in-law and mother-in-law, the group of aunts and sisters at home are not fuel-efficient lamps. If we leave and are left alone in our courtyard, we will be gone. Sister, don't you know, when I sit in front of my mother-in-law eating tea and chatting, my two sisters can smile and say to me: "The hairpin on my brother and sister's head is so beautiful, I don't know where I bought it? ”

Sister Feng hurriedly asked, "Then how did you go back? Your mother-in-law is here, if you don't go back well, you will be looked down upon." ”

Xichun smiled: "How else can I answer? I smiled and said to her: "This hairpin was given to me by my sister Lin, a set of twelve, if the two sisters like it, you might as well take a few and wear it to play." Before my two sisters could say anything, my mother-in-law spoke: "Since it was given by Princess Heng, you should keep it for yourself, and you can't live up to the princess's friendship." Then he said to my sister: "You don't have no jewelry, didn't you just send the New Year's share yesterday? Why are you greedy? After my mother-in-law finished speaking, I watched coldly from the sidelines, and my two sisters' handkerchiefs were twisted. ”

Sister Feng sighed: "They are not young anymore, Mrs. Feng refuses to open her mouth to say goodbye to them, and General Feng doesn't care, they are also miserable in the end." ”

Xichun said: "I used to think like this, but the things they and their aunts did really make people feel unpity. I've only been through the door for three days, and they are all dying every day, and they are all making trouble in front of their mother-in-law, and they really don't know what to say, so they really don't worry about their own future? Which girl is the aunt who went out to say goodbye? Their aunt has no brains, and they don't have brains? Offending my mother-in-law like this, not to mention the future, even now, they can't get anything good. ”

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "What trouble are they giving you?"

All the sisters looked at it.

I have to say that these sisters, Baochai, Daiyu, Miaoyu, Yingchun, Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, Yinglian have not seen the appearance of the backyard house fight due to various reasons of their own family and her husband's family, everything has only been heard of in the mouths of Sister Feng and a few grandmothers, Sister Feng and several grandmothers read that they are unmarried girls, many of them are vague in the past, and most of them teach them not to be plotted by any means.

Therefore, they are very interested in Xichun's face of the house fight. What's more, in the past two years, the sisters have married one after another, and these things are also a precaution, what will happen in the future, no one can predict it, right?

Mama Li looked helplessly at the grandmothers and wives whose eyes were shining, and asked Mama Grandma to take Sister Qiao down. Sister Qiao was very dissatisfied: "I'm nine years old this year, and I've grown up, so I can listen." ”

Mama Li coaxed her and said, "Yes, yes, our Qiao girl has grown up, but Brother Qiao hasn't grown up yet, Qiao girl is a big sister, and she has to take care of them, right?"

When everyone saw that they were in the way, they pulled Xichun and said, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Xichun said: "On the second day of tea, my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't say anything, and Aunt Yun, who gave birth to the eldest girl, said that the third grandmother is too young, master, wife, forgive the concubine for saying something unpleasant, I'm afraid I have to make up for the third grandmother quickly." Our master clenched his fists immediately, but I still held him back. My mother-in-law didn't even raise her eyelids, and said, "It's not worrying about Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun still takes care of her body first, doesn't she say that she was sick again yesterday? This first time, I read that you haven't read a book, you don't know the rules, Ying'er has just gotten married, for the sake of the master's face, he spared, if there is a next time, it will be a heavy punishment, have you heard clearly?" After my mother-in-law finished speaking, except for the subordinates, they refused to move with their big faces, and only hooked their eyes to my father-in-law. The cup in my mother-in-law's hand was about to be unstable, and my husband's face became ugly, so my father-in-law spoke: "What Madame said is very true, you all have to remember it." Otherwise, don't talk about Madame, even I, I won't spare you. After the father-in-law finished speaking, the aunts bowed their heads and agreed. When I went back later, my husband's hands were white. ”
