Maybe it's because my mood has changed, and my feeling of seeing things has also changed. On the day they met, Xi'er deliberately dressed up, picked out a pink dress, a set of pearl jewelry, and a layer of pink grease on her lips, which made people feel bright when they looked at it.

The place to see each other is a courtyard specially selected by Mrs. Zang in Longmen Mountain, and the courtyard also leads a hot spring from the back mountain to the backyard.

You can escape the heat and soak in hot springs.

On the way, after Lin Mei heard about it, she looked at the lush forests and the green river, and even had the idea of buying Zhuangzi for a hot spring next to her.

It was a forty-mile drive in less than two hours.

When the Lin family arrived at the courtyard smoothly, it was not yet noon. But it happened that something went wrong with the Qin family. Mrs. Zang had no choice but to send her mother-in-law to settle the guests from the Lin family to rest first.

It turned out that after Mrs. Zang knew that the Lin family was going to pick a husband's house for the second daughter, she suddenly thought of the second room of the Qin family, the second uncle could not succeed, but he was kind and kind, after the old lady of the Qin family came out, the second uncle inherited the ancestral business and became the suzerain of the Qin family's generation. Although the Qin family is not short of silver, but if they want to marry their sons, they have to send the girls out, and the dowry of these more than 20 grandchildren is enough for the old lady in the second room of the Qin family to have a headache.

Besides, listening to the meaning of the Lin family, there are 10,000 taels of silver for the second daughter to press the bottom of the box, which is also thick makeup. Mrs. Zang originally thought that the fertilizer and water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the second room would be the third, and the sixth would look promising. The sixth child has been a baby since he was a child, and there is only the third child left, although he is a grandson, but he has a wise and open-minded brother, and a younger brother who is pleasing to the spirit, he is introverted and ordinary, and he has a competitive concubine who compares with his mother - Mrs. Qin, he is caught in the middle, and he tolerates everywhere, so he is not very liked by Mrs. Qin.

But Mrs. Zang admired it very much, and felt that this nephew knew how to be sharp at a young age, and he was a person who did great things.

But this time, Mrs. Qin not only brought Qin Laosan, but also the more pleasing concubine Qin Laosi. According to her meaning, no matter how bad the third child is, he will crawl out of his stomach, and he can't just pick a small family and marry back. Qin Laosi is different, although he is a concubine, and his biological mother is no longer there, but he also grew up under the knees of the second lady of Qin, no matter how good the Lin family is, a second daughter who is not his own and a concubine of the Qin family can be regarded as a high marriage.

Mrs. Zang is the second daughter of the Qin family's house, and she has also grown up pampered since she was a child, and she has never seen any kind of broken hand. Mrs. Qin's mouth is one by one, if she really likes it, why let this concubine hang on her mouth? It can be seen that they are all duplicitous.

Thinking about it like this, it was a little strange to look at Mrs. Qin's eyes, and she said angrily: "The Lin family is not good enough to have an elder brother who is a jinshi, although he is newly promoted, and now he is also serving in Menshu Province; The future eldest aunt of the Lin family is General Liu, who is now in Longyou to kill the rebellious party; Putting these aside, the Lin family started as a restaurant business, and there is still a plaque of "the world's first chef" ordered by the emperor in the restaurant. With such a family background, it's too late for others to pull the cage, your eyes are higher than your heart, and you dislike it. ”

Speaking of this, seeing the corners of Mrs. Qin's mouth slightly open, her eyes were very shocked, and her heart felt much more comfortable. Knowing that her second sister-in-law was the most greedy for money, she slightly restrained her tone and explained: "A few days ago, the Lin family married a daughter-in-law, and she married the eldest daughter of the third room of the Jianxi Sheng family, and the dowry alone cost 20,000 taels of silver, and the silver for the wedding, although I don't know how much it spent, but if you go to the restaurant to book a table of 1,200 taels of silver, not to mention that the banquet is drunk with good Jinhua wine." The second sister-in-law also has to look at the account books to take care of the housework in the house, you will calculate for me, how much money will be spent on this wedding? ”

Mrs. Qin's eyes were about to fall, how could she still count, just hearing that the table was worth 1,200 taels of silver, she felt a toothache.

Even if the Qin family is Lao Anren's eighty birthday, the table cost five hundred taels, which is placed in the entire Heqing County, even in Luoyang, and even in the capital, it is already an incredible specification.

This little Lin family really broke out and became rich, and they didn't feel distressed at all when they spent their money.

At this time, Mrs. Qin was both contemptuous and envious in her heart, since her aunt and grandmother wanted to promote this family affair so much, she also helped the third minister to take a look, but she was very unwilling inside, and she always felt that Miss Lin's birth was too low, and she was afraid that she would not have much knowledge, and she would drag her feet in the third child's career in the future, and she couldn't help but think of a compromise idea.

"Look at this, I didn't have time to tell the children in detail, they only knew that Luoyang's aunt invited us to come over as guests, and they didn't have any mental preparations, and the third child even changed his clothes and clothes were semi-new. I'm afraid that the Lin family thinks that we don't pay attention to this family business. The fourth child is different, he is easy to dress up, he has to bring a few sets of new clothes wherever he goes, let him borrow a new set of clothes for the third child, and let the brothers stand in front of the Lin family when the time comes, let the Lin family look at each other themselves, if they fall in love with the third, this is their fate, I will not stop it, if it is the fourth in the picture, it is also very happy. ”

Mrs. Qin was looking forward to being able to look at the fourth child at best, so that she would be able to get rid of it in the future, so she couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh.

Mrs. Zang raised her eyebrows, she could think of this bad idea, the third child is half a head taller than the fourth, and if the fourth child's clothes are put on the third child, they must not be half an inch shorter? ! This is more embarrassing than wearing old clothes, and the third child is not a fool, wouldn't she guess her mother's new intentions?

As soon as the Lin family entered the courtyard, they were taken down by the maids and mothers-in-law who came to receive them to settle down.

Lin Mei and the others went to the backyard, while Father Lin, Lin Shan and others stayed in the front yard.

As soon as he entered the second gate of the inner courtyard, Lin Tao looked at the few cherries hanging red in the courtyard, and he couldn't walk anymore. Holding Lin Mei's hand unconsciously let go, Lin Mei moved, looked back at her, and it was clear at a glance, it could be seen that she didn't do anything out of the ordinary and didn't squeak, and couldn't help but carefully glance at the mother-in-law of the Zang family who came to receive her from Ermen, who was actually the mother-in-law of the Wei family who went to the Lin family last time.

She greeted happily: "Hello Aunt Wei." ”

Aunt Wei responded with a smile: "On this hot day, all the distinguished guests are tired, go to the house to wash up, drink some tea, and eat some fruit." ”

The daughter of the Lin family smiled and agreed, and then the mother-in-law walked towards the backyard together.

Lin Tao looked at the cherries on the tree with a reluctant face, her hand was pulled by Lin Mei, she walked absentmindedly, and looked back from time to time.

Lin Mei really couldn't do anything about her, afraid that if she couldn't help but do something out of the ordinary for a while, she was busy asking Aunt Wei, "This courtyard is really big, if you don't live in it often, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to clean it." ”

This time it was said that Aunt Wei's heart was embarrassed, and she said with a smile: "That's not it, we arrived yesterday afternoon, and we were tired for most of the day just cleaning up the main courtyard, and we only cleaned up the guest room this morning." ”

Lin Mei heard the voiceover, the people of the Qin family must have just arrived on the front foot, and Mrs. Zang was receiving her mother's family at this time, so she sent Aunt Wei to settle the Lin family.

Lin Mei took Aunt Wei's hand, stuffed a purse over, and said with a smile: "It's all because of the Lin family's affairs, and everyone has been tired together in the past few days, and I asked Aunt Wei to collect this water money for everyone." ”

Aunt Wei pinched it gently, and the two ingots of silver in the purse were round, I was afraid that there were twenty taels, which was a lot, and said happily: "It's all a matter of duty, if Miss Lin has anything, come to me directly, if you want to soak in the hot springs, you can rest in Jingyi Pavilion, just go and soak it." ”
