Old Man Lin glanced at the two brothers, Lin Jingren and Lin Jingli, and knew that the reprimand should not be too much, so he said: "From today on, the Lin family will never allow such bad actions as greedy for brothers, concubines, sons and nephews, and violators will be repaid tenfold." Respect. ”

"Yes." Lin Jingyi listened and waited.

"The Lin family is both prosperous and lossy, since as an elder, you have not fulfilled your obligation to take care of your children and nephews, then when you divide the assets, you will be punished for giving two shops to Wan Xin as a punishment."

"This ......" Lin Jingyi was stunned. Two or three hundred taels for a shop, plus the income that can be obtained in the future, that is a few thousand taels!

"Daddy?!" Jiang's got angry, why? Father-in-law wants to put all the fault on them?! If depriving her of the right to preside over the feed is to crush her to the ground and hit the board, then to let her out of two shops is to drink her blood and cut her flesh!

Jiang Shi instantly looked at Lin Yunxin with resentful eyes.

Lin Yunxin didn't react, she was still faint, but Lin Jingzhi immediately spoke up, wanting to stop this matter, "Daddy......" didn't wait for him to open his mouth in a panic.

"Wait!" The old lady raised her eyebrows and said, "It's very unfair for the master to deal with it like this, isn't it right for Jingzhi and Yunxin to do this?" Since it is said that both glory and loss are lost, then watching the elder brother and elders make mistakes without stopping them and finding ways to transform and cover them up, and allowing the elder brothers and elders to be sent to the official and bullied, they should also be punished for the same crime! ”

"No, they also damaged the reputation of the Lin family, the size is just a shop, what if they honor their elders? But such a big mess......"

"That's it!" Lin Suhui, who had been holding back and didn't dare to speak, finally felt that she had found an organization at this time, and immediately interjected, "If she had turned in her things earlier, wouldn't there be nothing?" What about ......"

"Shut up!" Old Man Lin was furious, he couldn't scold his wife in the face of his old wife, but he was unceremonious to Lin Suhui, "You don't have a lot of reason to do this!" The Lin family's ethnography is all in vain! ”

"What is Reason? People live in the world, stand up to the sky and the earth, and what stands is a rational word! Instead of condemning those who bully the weak and rob, but punish those who are robbed and unable to resist, there is no such reason in the world! Let the old man hear such a reversal of black and white in the future, and all of them will be hit on the 20th board, and the family law will deal with it! ”

Old Man Lin was so angry that his eyes were round, and he was as quiet as death, and there was no sound. Lin Suhui was even more frightened and hid behind Jiang's family.

Although the old man Lin scolded Lin Suhui, the old lady also felt that she had been slapped in the face, and with a cold face, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point for a while.

Lin Jingzhi hesitated and hesitated, wanting to remind Lin Yunxin to say two words to round things over, but he didn't know how to speak.

Lin Yunxin knew the torment in her father's heart, but what her grandfather said was reasonable, and she was helping them, so there was no reason to lose her grandfather's face at this time in order to please her grandmother, not to mention, could that grandmother be pleased by their father and daughter? Don't be bored.

At this time, it was still the third master of the Lin family, Lin Jingli, who smiled and played a round game: "Mother, my son can't help you speak this time." He spoke in an intimate tone, deliberately with a hint of pampering and pride, after all, as the young son of the old lady, he had always preferred him the most.

"Didn't I tell you before? Wan Xin was not only innocent this time, but also meritorious. Then, regardless of the obstruction of the old man Lin, he poured out the suggestions and arrangements of Lin Yunxin's previous letter, and the direct result of this achievement was that several masters of the Lin family returned to the court at the same time, although the positions were lowered compared to before, but after all, they did not follow the new emperor all the way, and this result was already quite good.

After listening to his explanation, the surroundings fell silent again.

The old lady was puzzled how Lin Yunxin could have such a strategy and mind, but seeing that the second son Lin Jingyi and his wife and the concubine Lin Jingzhi were very surprised by this, they knew that it was not from the Lin family, could it be that outsiders taught her?

Jiang was confused in his heart, and he hated it to the extreme. Since then, she knows that those two shops must be given, otherwise she will neglect the "heroes" of the Lin family, and she will not be able to get through in front of the entire Lin family.

Old man Lin felt that it was not a good thing to praise a little girl too much, it was easy to make the child proud, and at a glance, he saw that Lin Yunxin still looked calm, as if he was disturbed at all, and he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart.

Having said this, the old lady was not good at grabbing Lin Yunxin and Lin Jingzhi's father and daughter, and was just about to say a few words, but there was a servant next to Old Man Lin outside the door who came to report quickly.

"Old lady, old lady, who do you see coming back?"

The one who was helped into the door by the maid was Lin Yunxin's aunt - now Mrs. Shangshu, Lin Rushuang!

As soon as Lin Rushuang entered the door, the Lin family present was shocked, and even Old Man Lin stood up from his seat and scolded: "You kid, why did you come here with a big belly?" Although it is a reprimand, it is full of fatherly love.

Lin Rushuang is now seven months pregnant, and it stands to reason that she should be at home to recuperate, waiting for the delivery, she smiled slightly, and even reluctantly bowed, which caused a commotion among the people around her: "When my daughter heard that her father and mother had returned to the imperial capital, she was anxious, so she couldn't bear it, she hadn't seen her for eight years, and her daughter really missed her father......

Before he finished speaking, tears fell, which immediately made Old Man Lin feel sad.

Mr. Lin has four sons and two daughters, two daughters and a concubine, all of whom married early, and when he was in crisis, he also thought about taking his daughter away, but after all, she was a married girl, where can she leave at will?

Now after eight years of war, the eldest daughter's family has been lost in the war, and only the low-married concubine is left, but who would have thought that feng shui will take turns, and the poor boy who was in a partial house and cold support can now sit on the throne of the household secretary, and the little couple can be regarded as bitter.

"Good boy, good boy......" Old Man Lin looked at Lin Rushuang, with tears in his eyes, "Sit, sit down." He came to his senses.

"Auntie." Lin Yunxin stepped forward to salute, and recently she often went to Shangshu Mansion to accompany Lin Rushuang, and the relationship between her aunt and nephew became deeper and deeper.

"Wan Xin." Seeing Lin Yunxin, Lin Rushuang smiled. Originally, she watched Lin Yunxin grow up since she was a child, and almost regarded her as half a daughter.

A group of people greeted each other and said a lot of thoughtful words, and Lin Rushuang finally mentioned another meaning today.

"You mean, you want to help the two children get back the Li family's dowry?" Old Man Lin was a little surprised.

Lin Rushuang nodded: "Exactly." Now that Wan Xin has grown up, Shen Wen has also turned thirteen years old, and he has run a tossing shop, what should he do if he has no money in his hand? In the past, it was because the child was still young, and the fourth brother was a scholar who was dedicated to getting into the book, so he bothered his mother and sister-in-law to take care of it on his behalf, but now he ......"

Lin Yunxin suddenly looked up, but saw Lin Rushuang smiling softly at her, that smile was both warm and full of comfort, which made her heart burn suddenly, and she suddenly realized that the real purpose of her aunt's urgent visit to the Lin family today was actually this.

Also having the same idea as Lin Yunxin was the eldest lady Zhou, who looked at Lin Rushuang with a gentle smile and Lin Jingzhi with a shocked face, and suddenly snorted lightly. If it is really a brother and sister relationship, they actually came with a big belly for Lin Jingzhi and his children, is this not even his life?

The old lady's face also changed slightly, the concubine who was held by her in the past is now not only Mrs. Shangshu, but also has a three-grade edict, and she is the person with the highest status in the scene, compared to her, her own daughter died in vain, how can she not hate? Heaven is unfair!

Old Man Lin's eyes flashed, and he thought of a deeper level, it seems that his daughter this time did not give Wan Xin a shop on East Street for no reason, this is to calculate that the second family will reach out and snatch it, so as to arrange the next matters?

If he didn't come back in time, I'm afraid that his daughter would also have a way to convict the Jiang family through Zhang Shangshu's hands, and then snatch the Li family's dowry back from the Jiang family and return it to the two children?

Although he thought about it thoroughly, Old Man Lin didn't expose it, but just said: "Then return the dowry to the two children." ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Shi didn't speak, but the old lady was a little anxious: "Then how can I do it?" ”

Old Man Lin was a little surprised: "Why not?" ”

Seeing everyone looking at her, the old lady paused slightly and said, "The amount of dowry is too large, where can the two and a half children take care of it?" ”

"yes, Daddy." Jiang Shi immediately answered, looking a little nervous.

The eldest lady Zhou couldn't help but pay full attention, before handing it over to the Jiang family, the Li family's dowry was also taken care of by her, after all, the Li family is rich, and there are really not many good things in it, it is impossible to say that it is not tempting, if the old man really wants to investigate them one by one......

The corners of her lips hooked, which is why she was so happy to give power to the Jiang family, as long as it passed through the greedy Jiang family's hands, it was unknown how much was left.

Old Man Lin glanced at the old lady deeply, and said slowly: "The amount is also the children's own business, and the Lin family has never had a scandalous affair of greedy for the dowry of the daughter-in-law." ”

The old lady's color changed and she said sharply: "Lin Xuhuai, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that as a grandmother, I would still be greedy for her little things? As he spoke, his eyes shot at Lin Jingzhi like lightning, and his voice was cold, "Jingzhi, in your heart, I am also such a housewife?" ”

Lin Jingzhi was taken aback, he had been begging for a living under the old lady for many years, and he had long been accustomed to her giving and demanding, so he immediately said: "When, of course not." Mother has always been just and kind, father, or ......? ”

Old Man Lin's face sank, he glared at Lin Jingzhi, and secretly scolded useless things, but continued: "Literally, the child has just been bullied, is it possible that he will continue to be wronged?" ”

After that, without waiting for the old lady to reply, Old Man Lin turned his eyes to Lin Yunxin, and smiled kindly: "Wanxin, tell grandfather, can you take care of the dowry?" He was worried that he had nothing to reward him, so Rushuang came to ask for it, which could be regarded as solving a problem for him.

Old Man Lin's question also focused the eyes of the entire Lin family on Lin Yunxin.

This question is actually not easy to answer, saying yes, it is easy to offend the grandmother, and I am afraid that it will also offend the eldest lady and the second lady who want to be in charge of the dowry, and if you say no, you will wipe the face of the old man. It is rare for him to defend his granddaughter once, and it really chills his heart, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity in the future.

Lin Yunxin raised her head, smiled slightly, and replied in a crisp voice: "Of course you can, grandfather, don't worry." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old lady shot a sharp light.

Lin Yunxin was calm.

Old Man Lin suddenly burst into laughter: "Good, good! The descendants of the Lin family are like this, one generation is stronger than the next, and this is the sign of the prosperity of the family! ”

Since the old man opened such a mouth, Lin Jingren and Lin Jingli naturally did not skimp on words, and also praised Lin Yunxin together.

On the contrary, Lin Jingzhi felt ashamed, and couldn't help lowering his head, his daughter wanted to take back her mother's dowry, he was good just now, and almost pushed out his wife's dowry, so thinking about it, he didn't dare to look at his daughter again.

Lin Yunxin knew what her father was thinking, but she didn't blame him at all, after all, her father had been oppressed for too long over the years, where could he be corrected in a while?

"Wan Xin, don't worry, what's missing, tell your grandfather, and your grandfather will make the decision for you." Old Man Lin finally came to a conclusion, completely breaking everyone's minds.

"Yes!"
