In the red apricot building of the East City.

“…… When the slave rushed over, the person had already moved away, but the neighbors around said that the mother-in-law of the main person seemed to be surnamed Tang, but the news of the master's family was not clear at all, only that her wife was sick and came to seek medical treatment, and when the disease was cured, the person went back. Tong Dacai said with a pale face.

"Surname Tang? Seeking? Lin Mei pondered for a moment before she let out a long sigh and said, "It's me who is too self-righteous." The most dangerous place is the safest place, she can stoop to the opposite house, staring at our people all the time, it seems that she still has brains, not comparable to ordinary women. ”

Tong Dacai nodded, his expression was a little dazed, and he said softly: "I thought it would ...... has vision, strategy and courage, but I didn't expect it to be planted in the hands of a woman this time. Speaking of which, I still have too little knowledge. Do you need to let the uncle help inquire about this matter in the capital? ”

"The geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name. Since she only seeks revenge, she will not leave too many clues, and I will inform him on the uncle's side, but you also know that when the uncle first enters the court, he has to be cautious in many things. Let's not get our hopes up too much, so you should bother more. Lin Mei's face was slightly pale, and she bowed slightly.

Tong Dacai looked at the worry between her eyebrows, a trace of hesitation flashed in her heart, and finally retreated.

Lin Mei stood by the window, looking at the house opposite, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Until the guy brought Jiang Xiao in.

Lin Mei was a little surprised, and when she saw him in civilian clothes, she exclaimed, "But what happened?" ”

Jiang Wei held a plain box and put it on the desk, looking humble, but in fact proud: "The general will return to Beijing in the near future, and send his subordinates to report to the girl that she is safe, this is what the general gave to the girl." ”

So the war is over, and it's back in triumph!

Lin Mei looked at the box with a bit of a simple atmosphere, so she opened it and took a look, a box of gems, the largest is as big as a fist, the smallest is not much smaller than a pigeon's egg, red, blue, green, purple, large and small are estimated to be hundreds, and no matter how much silver it is worth, this box is enough to blind the eyes of many people.

Lin Mei was confused, I don't know what it means!

"Did the general ask you to send a message or a letter?"

Jiang Xiao bowed his head, took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, and said with a smile: "The general's meaning is written in the letter, and I don't know if it's too late!" ”

Is it too late?!

Lin Mei frowned and took the letter, even more suspicious in her heart, and directly removed the mimeograph on the envelope in front of him, took out the letter inside and looked at it.

Crooked words, but it doesn't affect reading.

In addition to a simple greeting at the beginning, it also mentioned the marriage date of the two, Liu Dawu hoped to return to the capital, so he arranged the marriage, and the wedding date was set for the second or sixth day of September. Afraid of wronging Lin Mei too hastily, she sent a box of gems as a dowry gift in advance......

Lin Mei couldn't help but pout, is the dowry like this? It's too much to look down on people, although it is a big deal, but this box gem is estimated to be from the wrong way, so it was sent so obscurely, really when she is here to sell the stolen goods!

There are only a few dozen lines, and the meaning is already very clear, but the wedding date is set in September, and there are still three months to prepare, will it be too hasty, Lin Meike originally planned to set the wedding date in November, because Xi'er's wedding date is set in March of the next year, and it is just this time to handle the dowry for her.

Lin Mei pretended to be calm, unable to see joy, pointed to the box gem and said: "This box has made me look up, if the general is busy with official business, he will wait for him to go to the Lin family to discuss the marriage date and dowry with my father when he is free, as for this dowry, it is really heavy, if you compare the price of this box, I don't have so much silver to buy a dowry." You might as well take it back. ”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded, this is completely different from what he expected!

Who says women love jewelry?! Isn't this a horse's fart slapping on the horse's leg? Bring it back, and the general will not be dealt with by military law?

He couldn't smile bitterly, he originally thought it was a beautiful trip, but the girl of the Lin family didn't eat this set at all! Hurriedly said: "I won't tell the girl that if I bring back this box and gem, the general will definitely peel off the skin of his subordinates, and think that the small one is not effective." I beg the girl to take pity on the little one and bring the things intact, so don't be embarrassed about the little ones. ”

Lin Mei pretended to be embarrassed and said: "You have your difficulties, I have my own difficulties, each has its own difficulties, I don't have my grandmother to handle it for me, and my father is a master who doesn't understand general affairs, the old lady of the Liu family said before that the Liu family's dowry will be purchased by the palace, and I have also sent someone to inquire, and I am thinking about preparing sixty-eight dowries and not burying them." But now that there is an extra box of things for no reason, I am also very embarrassed......"

It's not that Lin Mei can't afford the dowry, she just feels that her wealth is not exposed, why bother to make others greedy because of silver, this is not showing off but inviting trouble!

Jiang Xiao thought about it for a while, and felt that her words made sense, and it was indeed the general's inconsiderate thinking.

However, this thing has been sent out, how can there be any reason to take it back, not to mention that he can't be the master of the general, he thought about it again and again, and said: "Either you accept it temporarily, don't treat it as a dowry, just as the general gives you gadgets, as long as you don't say it, the general will definitely not say it, this small thing must be tight-lipped!" ”

Lin Mei glanced at him in surprise, Liu Dawu definitely didn't dare to spread it, this thing was not coming from the right way. I don't know why, seeing that he is willing to spend time to please himself now, he is still faintly happy in his heart.

Lin Mei thought about it for a while, and reluctantly agreed, and said with a smile: "Okay, I also understand the truth that wealth is not exposed, you are quite eye-catching with this box of things, I will accept the things first, but I will not add any more dowry." You convey my intentions to the general, and if he or the Liu family is dissatisfied, then the marriage date will be postponed again, so that I can earn two or three more years of silver and makeup. ”

Is this a threat?! But in the aftertaste, there are some complaints about the angry ingredients in it.

Jiang Xiao saw her smile, his heart was slightly relieved, thinking that the general would not be dissatisfied, and promised that he would never tell the fourth person about it.

However, the girl in front of him is a strange woman, this temperament is not soft, but I am afraid that after passing the door, the general's life will start to be difficult, and he secretly gloated.

Lin Mei served the tea, and when she saw that he was steady, she was a little surprised, and she didn't know what else he had to do, so she asked again.

Jiang Xiao let out an "oh" at this time, came back to his senses, and said, "Miss Lin has a letter to convey?" The little ones should be brought back with them to restore their lives. ”

Why don't you give me a token to prove that the thing has been handed over to you! Jiang Xiao secretly thought.

Lin Mei smiled, this was for fear that the general would misunderstand his greed for ink.

Anyway, what can I write about?

Lin Mei tilted her head and thought for a long time, then tried to ask, "Did the general say anything about returning?" ”

"If there is no accident, it will not be twenty days."

Twenty days? If the journey from Longyou to the capital is less than ten days, that is, the war in Longyou is basically over? This is good news, but I don't know if the eldest prince is dead or alive.

But these have nothing to do with her, after thinking about it, she spread out the rice paper and wrote: "The gift has been received, I look forward to peace, and I look forward to the marriage to be discussed again." ”

There is no title, and it is not named, even if someone else picks it up, they can't guess who it is.
