The day before Lin Mei went to Chang'an, she invited the little lady of the Du family to her home to see each other, although Lin Hai didn't say anything, anyone could see that he was very satisfied with this family affair.

Lin Mei also breathed a sigh of relief, and now when the Du family agrees, they can discuss the matter of the six rites.

"Now that your family affairs have been settled, I am relieved, I think that the little lady of the Du family also likes you very much, otherwise she will not secretly look at you several times, and this family business will definitely not run away. I have asked Tong Dacai to look around to see if there is a house to sell near our house, and when I come back from Chang'an, I will handle this family matter for you. ”

Lin Hai bowed to her excitedly. "Sister Meizi don't worry, marriage is destined, what is mine is mine, not mine, and I don't force it, you go to Chang'an this time, take care of yourself, you can carry things for self-defense at any time, and Yahuan can't leave her."

Lin Mei patted him on the shoulder: "Hongxing Building will be handed over to you for the time being, the kitchen is heavy, and it must be guarded well." ”

After speaking, he saluted Father Lin and got into the carriage with Qi Niang.

Liu Dawu got the news and arrived, but unfortunately he was a step late.

"Dawu, aren't you leaving? How did you come back again? Father Lin looked at Liu Dawu, who suddenly returned, and said in surprise.

"After finishing my errand yesterday, I was going to leave, didn't I hear that Sister Meizi was going to Chang'an to participate in the competition today, I wanted to give her another ride before leaving, but I didn't expect it to be a step late." Liu Dawu felt unspeakably sad in his heart.

Father Lin glanced at him, he didn't know what calculations he had in his heart, and said tentatively: "You are now a captain, and you can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the army, and it is time to marry a daughter-in-law to inherit the lineage." ”

Liu Dawu suddenly knelt down on the ground and said: "Master, I was young and frivolous, I didn't know the height of the sky, I just wanted to repay my debts, I lost Meizi, and I lost your old man's heart, and now I am not married, Meizi is not married, I implore Master to give Dawu another chance to fulfill this marriage between me and Meizi." ”

Father Lin immediately smiled even deeper, the eldest daughter's marriage has always been a piece of his heart. A few days ago, Meizi was in the limelight again in the competition, gossip followed, and even high-ranking officials and nobles were delusional and wanted to take Meizi as a concubine, but they were all sent away by themselves. Rather than this, it is better to cheapen this kid, so that he can know the roots, and he has a deep love for plums, and he will definitely cherish plums.

When Liu Dawu saw him smiling like this, he knew that there was a play, and immediately hugged his thighs tightly, and directly kowtowed three times: "Master, Sister Meizi has not met a suitable marriage for a long time, this is the mercy of God and me, Master has the beauty of benevolence, and all the disciples are infatuated." ”

Father Lin wanted to sign it in one bite, but in a blink of an eye, he thought of his daughter's temper and said: "The marriage between the two of you is also bumpy, and it is not a way to drag it down after all, but you also know that now that the plum is older, her family matter, if she doesn't nod, I can't force her to marry." Look at this, when she comes back, I will ask her what she means, and if she agrees, I will write to you, and you will find time to come to your door. ”

Liu Dawu's heart suddenly blossomed, and he kowtowed three more times: "My father-in-law is above, and my disciple is waiting for good news in the army." ”

Father Lin was stunned, this belated "father-in-law" made him so happy that he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

……

Zhou Ximei finally sat on the confinement stage, soaked comfortably for half a day, washed several times from top to bottom, and then lay down on the soft step with satisfaction, and let Bai Cui dry her hair.

"Mrs.'s long black hair is really well maintained, unlike me, when I gave birth to my second child, my hair fell out a lot." Bai Cui admired while secretly watching her expression.

"No matter how well the maintenance is, and the age is getting older, seeing that my son is older, he is going to marry a daughter-in-law." Zhou Ximei thought about the marriage of her two sons, and her heart was uncomfortable again.

"I heard you say a few days ago that the eldest lady had a family affair for Lin Hai, and this matter has not been done."

"I haven't heard of it, but eight or nine are not far from ten, I heard that the Du family is not a rich and noble family, on weekdays, she just relies on the little lady of the Du family to do some embroidery, and live for other people's pulp and laundry, and she can marry into the Lin family, which is already a blessing she cultivated in her previous life, how can she disagree."

"That's not necessarily, although Lin Hai is the master's nephew, his hometown is far away in the countryside, even if he becomes a relative, he just lives in our house temporarily."

"No, did I hear me wrong?"

"What have you heard? Let's hear it. ”

"I heard that the eldest lady asked her to find a house near our house, as long as the Nadu family agrees to this family business, they can perform six rites and handle the marriage."

"Did you hear me right? Is she willing to spend so much silver? Our house is not cheap, even if it is a small house that you enter, how can you buy it without a thousand children and eight hundred. ”

"The slave must have heard me right, I went out this morning and met the mother-in-law of the Gou family to ask me about it again."

Zhou Ximei turned over and sat up, "Is this true?" ”

"The slave will not dare to deceive his wife, such a big matter, if there is no such thing, then the mother-in-law of the Gou family will not ask me if the house is good for no reason."

"Hmph, it's generous to an outsider, I want to hire a nurse to take care of the four girls, but I don't want to."

"Madam, you are the mother of the fourth young lady, and you should have paid for the matter of hiring a nurse. What's the use of you telling the eldest lady, she's an unmarried little lady, how can she understand this? ”

When it comes to silver, Zhou Ximei is even more angry, the family's large and small expenses now rely on the dim sum shop, so what extra money is there, and all the accounts are past the eyes of the master, and he can't make some money from it. His own monthly case is still in his hometown to make a fuss before the three taels of silver, plus the old man five taels, only eight taels, now the two sons have left home, the monthly silver will be paid directly to the two sons a year, and he finally scraped together one hundred and eighty taels of silver, which is the limit.

If she was still in Baishui Town, she would be a little rich woman, but now that she is in Luoyang, she has opened her eyes, how can these 180 taels get on the stage? ! Zhou Ximei thought that her stepdaughter spent a lot of money for outsiders, and she didn't want to increase her monthly silver for herself, and her face was full of emotions, including jealousy and resentment.

"Why should Mrs. be angry, now that Young Master Dabao has also got an errand, Young Master Xiaobao has also entered a private school now, they all have unlimited futures, you just wait to think about blessings. It's just that seeing that Young Master Dabao is also older, he has to show him his relatives. “

These words came to Zhou Ximei's heart, and now that Dabao is fourteen years old, and he is on an errand under King Qi, it is time to slowly look at others, and he will be able to handle the marriage in two years.

But when he thought of his private room of one hundred and eighty taels, he suddenly lost his confidence.

Bai Cui is her confidant, how can she not know what she thinks, "Mrs., why don't you use the money you have to do some small business." ”

"To put it lightly, how can I, a woman in an inner house, show my face."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Bai Cui hurriedly recommended: "A few days ago, my family wrote to me that Hanzhuang's errand was very leisurely, and someone wanted to pull him to do some small business, but unfortunately he didn't have the capital. If my wife can trust my family, I will contribute some capital and let my family go for my wife, so as to ensure that I can make a lot of money for my wife. ”

"Oh, what a deal, let's hear it."

"It's just to lend money to others and collect some interest from it, a small business, and the risk is not high, this is a safe and profitable business."

When Zhou Ximei heard this, her brother had also done it for herself, and she really made a steady profit.
