Chapter 352: "Chongxi"
"I don't think he's here to make friends with the Liu family, but to humiliate our family! If it weren't for the fact that this pro couldn't be retreated, Lao Tzu wouldn't agree to anything......"
Father Lin scolded again, holding back the fire in his heart, but in front of his daughter's persuasion, it was not good to have another attack, and it was difficult to say that it was the destiny of heaven to do it, so he vaguely responded a few times and explained: "The Liu family sent the wedding date together, and on August 26, I saw that the days were too urgent, so I thought that the third child of the Liu family was drunk to facilitate the questioning, and the result was really set out." Look at what to do with this, or let's pretend to be sick and delay it, in case Liu Dawu really can't do it......"
If he asked his daughter to be widowed, Father Lin couldn't say it, but that's what it meant.
August 26?!
Lin Mei said "um" and said, "Daddy, don't worry about this matter, as for Liu Dawu's illness, I will send someone to inquire about it." We don't know anything now, just after this dowry, if I get sick, it will be unlucky to spread it, if the Liu family uses the holy decree to coerce, will we no longer add a crime of resisting the decree to our heads. Although the wedding date is only one month, I am in a hurry, but fortunately, everything is ready for the dowry, and it is too late to make a wedding card now. ”
Father Lin didn't know these truths, seeing that she was so calm, he said solemnly: "Then let's do it first, anyway, there is still a month, I see that Dawu is not a short-lived person, maybe it will be better in a few days." ”
I don't know who I'm comforting with this, anyway, Daddy Lin's flame has been extinguished for more than half of the time, seeing that she didn't say anything, she said goodbye and went back to the house to rest, and went back to the main room alone.
Lin Mei couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then she was suspicious: Is this Liu Dawu really sick or pretending to be sick? The Queen Mother is a vegetarian, and she will definitely send an imperial doctor to check it. Could it be that he also bought off the imperial doctor?!
The more I thought about this matter, the more I felt puzzled, but it was difficult to decide what he was doing, so I had to send a competent person to Chang'an to investigate.
In the morning, the news of the Lin family's marriage on August 26 had spread in Sweet Water Lane.
When Min got the news, he hurried to Grandma Gu to chatter, and sighed as he spoke, "Poor my brother Cheng's family affairs have not yet been settled." ”
Grandma Gu has experienced too many things, and her health is good and bad, she has already looked down on it, and kindly persuaded: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, although the girl of the Lin family is good, Brother Cheng is not bad, and when he has an errand, it is not too late to slowly look at each other." ”
"I also know this, but in the past half a year, I have also seen a lot of girls from other families, either because he has no errands, or because his mother's family is not competent, he picks and chooses, but there is no suitable family."
The Luo family moved to Luoyang, although it is not rich and expensive, but it is also a solid household, and the Luo family's industry is now handed over to Guo Laosan's family to help take care of it, and he is a pro-uncle, loyal and reliable, which has solved the worries of the Min family.
Grandma Gu looked helpless and said: "Let's take a look at each other, the marriage is destined, but the Lin family marries a daughter, you have to think hard, we can settle in Luoyang so quickly, it all depends on Lin Mei's maneuvering." I heard the third child say that a few days ago, she also helped the family introduce several transactions, and our family made a lot of money. ”
"This is certain, I specially ordered a set of ruby jewelry, and I was worried that I had no excuse to send it out, and now that I am okay, I will add makeup to her." Min sighed, the eldest girl of the Lin family really has a talent for business, she found some mud at random, and after her hand was turned upside down, she made a purple sand pot out, and let the Luo family follow into the dry shares, and the purple sand business is now very good.
This incident made the Min family secretly twitch. A good daughter-in-law is rich for three generations, so when she chooses a daughter-in-law, she always can't help but choose a capable person like Lin Mei, but how many real boudoir women can be like Lin Mei? !
When my aunt heard that she had prepared a set of ruby jewelry, she felt that it was still too little, pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother Cheng has few people who can help him, I see that the Lin family is blessed, add another set, good things come in pairs, I think Brother Cheng will also agree." ”
Min didn't speak, he felt stuffy in his chest, and his face was a little unsightly, but his mother-in-law's meaning was not easy to refute, so he hesitated and had to respond a little.
Zhou Ximei, who was hiding in the shadows, was still immersed in the pain of losing her child, and when she heard the news of the Lin family's marriage, her heart moved, and she felt that the opportunity had finally come, so she changed her clothes, hid a dagger in her sleeve, and walked towards Sweetwater Lane.
……
The people of Luo Sicheng's faction have been secretly staring at the whereabouts of Lu Hong's mother and son, and since Liu Yu, a seven-year-old child, knew that it was only a matter of time before Liu Yu returned to Liu's house from Jiuwang.
even muttered a few words in front of Liu Yu intentionally or unintentionally, either I heard that the young master of Liu Mansion had obtained a set of excellent green jade inkstones, or that the young master of Liu Mansion went to study at Yipin Academy, etc.; Although they are all inconsequential trivialities, for a child who is full of curiosity, it is enough to stimulate the child's competitiveness and unwillingness to hide the bottom of his heart.
So Luo Sicheng knows everything about the sudden "disappearance" of the mother and son!
The people over there in Liu's mansion said that his mother and son settled in Cuijin Garden, and Mrs. Liu originally wanted to hold a banquet to recognize relatives and clear the identity of the eldest son of the Liu family, but unfortunately Mrs. Erfang said that the general returned triumphantly and was about to get married, so it was better to wait for the wedding day to do it together, and a double happiness came, and Mrs. Liu agreed.
The general returned victorious, but unfortunately he was wounded, originally only some external injuries, but somehow the injuries became more and more serious, and he was unconscious in recent days. I don't know who made the idea, saying that the general was haunted by evil ghosts and needed to do happy things, but Mrs. Liu listened to her words and asked her third son to go to Luoyang Lin's house with a dowry and matchmaker. The dates have been set, August 26 ......"
August 26th, that's only a month.
Luo Sicheng quietly glanced at Ambassador A, and then said softly to the mother-in-law who returned to him: "The errand is good, I will find Ah Da to receive the reward for silver in a while." ”
The woman thanked her repeatedly.
"Since General Liu is sick and our house is next to each other, we have to visit it. I asked Ah Da to prepare some small gifts, you can accompany him for a while. ”
The woman answered.
But when Luo Sicheng was about to leave, she casually mentioned: "I don't know how Liu Yu's mother and son are doing when they return to the house, and I don't know if she can pay me back the rent." ”
It is a matter of course to repay debts, the mother-in-law didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "People are now more expensive than their sons, and whoever in the Liu Mansion doesn't call her Aunt Lu, and all the people around her are called; Even Brother Yu is now the eldest young master of the Liu Mansion, and there are seven or eight subordinates around him, and even Jiuwang, who is good friends with him, is now his former servant. How can she send this rent to our house, if the lord is in a hurry, the old woman will find a way to deliver a message to Aunt Lu. ”
Luo Sicheng was quite surprised, and said with a smile: "Master, I don't care about that bit of silver, it doesn't matter if I give it or not, it's just that I'm worried that someone will suspect his mother and son in the future, and find out that they once lived in my house, and I don't know what they think has to do with me, I don't want to be ashamed if I don't receive the money." Do you know what I mean? ”
The woman was quite surprised, daring to love that this silver had to be collected, and it was reasonable to accept it, she gasped, and said that she would definitely do this errand.
