Chapter 301: Door-to-door consultation
In the face of Ah Da's report, Lin Mei didn't have much reaction, but Lin Shan was angry first: "If you don't tie the knot, you won't get it, who is rare with his Liu family." ”
Luo Sicheng looked at Lin Mei quietly, and cared more about her thoughts than the Liu family's calculations.
"What are you anxious about?" Lin Mei raised her eyebrows, but instead trained herself: "You are also a big person, joy, anger, sorrow and joy are all on your face, won't you let others use the officialdom in the future?" ”
Lin Shan was stunned, the Liu family had calculated to the end, and the eldest sister was not worried at all.
Luo Sicheng was happy, with his understanding of her, he would be so calm and indifferent only if he didn't care. "Your eldest sister has her own success, so you don't have to worry. What's more, his Liu family wants to see the dowry list, so naturally he has to present the dowry list first. ”
"yes, how did I forget this stubble! Eldest sister, don't come forward when the time comes, leave this matter to the younger brother and I will come forward to solve it, I don't believe it, and the old pious woman can't still rob it. Lin Shan said as he spoke, already grinding his fists.
Lin Mei glanced at him and said angrily: "Children's affairs, parents are in charge, how can we be in charge?" ”
Lin Shan disagreed, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Daddy listens to me the most, I'll go and talk to him." ”
As soon as the words fell, a girl came to the general's mansion.
The Lin family siblings glanced at each other, and Lin Shan ran towards the backyard.
Luo Sicheng also stood up with interest and said with a smile: "Since you have a guest at home, I will go back first and come back to nag another day." ”
"Your leg is inconvenient, it's better to rest, seeing that spring is about to start, it's not good to enter the exam room with a limp." Lin Mei smiled slightly, but she didn't keep it.
Although Liu Fangshi became the old lady of the General's Mansion, the innate rustic spirit in her bones could not be changed, and she raised her voice as soon as she entered the door: "Mother-in-law, what are you doing, the visitors don't come out to greet you?" ”
This is the mother of the legendary general, the future mother-in-law of the eldest girl of the Lin family?! Bai Cui, who was demoted to guard the gatehouse, rolled her eyes directly.
The ginkgo girl smacked her tongue when she heard this, "Old lady, my wife is not at home recently, I went to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, you should drink some tea and eat some pastries in the front hall first." The slave maid went to inform the master and the eldest lady. ”
Liu Fangshi didn't eat anything when he went out in the morning, and when he heard Xiao Yahuan say that there were pastries, he suddenly felt his stomach growling. You're not welcome, followed Yahuan into the front hall, and saw that there was a plate of pastries on the table, and the golden puff pastry looked particularly attractive.
Song Meizhi looked like a roundworm in her stomach, and said to Ginkgo with a smile: "Good sister, we have come from afar, and my mother-in-law is estimated to be tired when she is old again. ”
As he spoke, he also shoved a few copper plates into Ginkgo's hand.
Seeing the money, Ginkgo thought that this was a trivial matter, and happily agreed.
This is also in Lin Mei's arms, I originally planned to dry the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but now I don't need to find another reason.
“.… The eldest lady didn't go to see, Ginkgo biloba potted water, the plate of pastries, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ate a fine light, drank several cups of tea, and wanted Ginkgo to get another plate, the master happened to come, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stopped. Fluttershy, let's talk about what's going on in the antechamber.
"The eldest young master went with the master?"
Fluttershy nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes." The eldest young master also scolded the stupid girl of Ginkgo, saying that she was ineffective and did not report it in time, making outsiders laugh at the Lin family's lack of rules. ”
Get off the horse! This is like Lin Shan's style.
Lin Mei didn't even raise her eyebrows, and went towards the front hall.
Vestibule.
"Since our two families have become in-laws again, those who can be exempted from three books and six hires are also exempted. Your plums are also not small, I drag people to live, the eighth day of the first month of March is a good day and auspicious time. The corners of Liu Fang's mouth curled slightly when he spoke.
These words also happened to reach Lin Mei's ears from the window.
Lin Mei poked her head over to observe carefully, the woman who spoke was round, the fat powder on her face was quite thick, and a pair of golden earrings were not too heavy, with triangular hanging eyes and thin lips slightly curled, showing a little meanness. Compared with Liu Fang's in memory, he is at least fatter, and his mouth is still the same.
On the contrary, the young daughter-in-law in the pink shirt and green dress sitting next to her was plump, with her ears obliquely combed in a bun, a jade hairpin inserted in the bun, and thin pink lips on her face. Behind him stood a mother-in-law with a flower cloth burden, but she looked like a wife from a large family.
Liu Fangshi saw that Lin Xiao was sitting calmly and didn't say anything, he was a little annoyed, snorted, and said in a cold voice: "Lin Lao Er, we can be regarded as fellow villagers who know each other's roots, I will get straight to the point and tell the truth, originally after Dawu became a general, the matchmakers who came to the door to say their relatives splashed one after another." I originally thought that the daughter-in-law of the Liu family didn't say that she had to be the county lord and county lord, but the beautiful lady who was well-informed and knowledgeable in the four and five grades of the scholarly family had to ask one to come back. But now that the emperor has given me marriage, I have no choice but to admit it, although I don't dislike your family, Lin Mei is old, but I, as a mother-in-law, have to measure for the Liu family. This wedding date is a little rushed, but this is for her good. ”
Lin Shan patiently listened to her finish speaking, glanced at her with disdain, and said: "It is said that Mrs. Wang sells melons and boasts, and Mrs. Liu praises her son, and she does not show weakness at all. Since you can't look down on our Lin family daughter, it's better to deny this family business directly, and it's not that you haven't done it before, this is a unique skill you have to be good at. ”
Father Lin was amazed when he heard this, although he said that he was stupid, but when his son came forward to show the Lin family's face, he was still a little proud in his heart.
couldn't help but say sternly: "Auntie, if you say so, it will make me rethink this family business, if the Liu family is not sincere, even if I give up this old life to resist the will, I am not willing to wronged Meizi and ruin the rest of her life." ”
"Lin Lao Er......"
"Uncle Lin, look at what you said, my mother-in-law is stupid and didn't understand what she said."
Song Meizhi suddenly interrupted her mother-in-law's words and reached out to press Liu Fang's arm, suggesting that she should not go too far.
Liu Fangshi held his breath in his heart, and after being reminded by his second daughter-in-law, he realized that he had passed the fire.
"I heard before that Brother Shan is engaged! I think you are also worried about the marriage of your eldest daughter, and I wanted to relieve your worries, so I chose the date in March, but I didn't expect you to be unhappy. ”
Liu Fangshi turned around, glanced at Lai's mother-in-law behind his daughter-in-law, and instructed: "If you don't have the eyesight to see your son, don't take out the letter of appointment and the marriage date." ”
Mrs. Lai didn't dare to breathe, she thought that this trip to discuss relatives would be able to please both sides, but she didn't expect that in the eyes of the old lady, she was like a rough mother-in-law, and she was called and drunk, and she didn't even get a reward. Now that she said this, she hurriedly said a blessing to the Lin family father and son: "Master Lin, please take a look."
Father Lin glanced at it with Lin Shan's hand, and the few rows of words on the appointment list were forgotten, and the wedding date was simple with only a few words. Although he is illiterate, it can be seen that his Liu family is so lazy, and he is also a little angry: "This family is asked by Dawu himself, and I think it is appropriate to discuss this matter with him." ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family glanced at each other nervously, and Song Meizhi hurriedly explained: "Uncle Lin, my uncle has an errand on his body, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back in a month or two, and I am afraid that it will not be good to delay the auspicious day." ”
