Chapter 302: What?!
Although Liu Fang's people are nervous, when they think about their current identity, they are also the old lady of the General's Mansion, are they still afraid of him being a mere white ding?!
So he straightened up and said proudly: "The marriage event is the order of the parents, and now that Dawu is not here, even if he can still get past me, he can't be a mother." What's more, he is also marrying a daughter-in-law for him, and the day is set to be closer, and he still can't wait for it! ”
Father Lin clenched his fists, if Shanzi hadn't said the idea of the Liu family in advance, this marriage date would have been decided by her Liu mother-in-law, but now it can't be done, and he can't withdraw from his relatives like before, so Dawu is a good one. Knock out the teeth and swallow the blood - for the time being, we will wait until Dawu returns.
"Mei'er is the daughter of the Lin family, the marriage is not allowed to be sloppy, the return date of Dawu is undecided, whether she can catch up is still two words. Otherwise, I personally sent the two children's eight characters to Qingfeng Temple to ask the Taoist to ask for an auspicious day. It's also a great way to have the best of both worlds. ”
Seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, Liu Fangshi smiled when he heard it: "Why bother like this, your plums are from my Liu family sooner or later, what does it matter if it's one day earlier or one day later." I heard that your brother has set a family affair, but he has not set a marriage date for a long time, not because his eldest sister is to be married. Meizi sent out of the cabinet early, and you might as well hug your grandson early. ”
Lin Mei, who was standing outside the window, couldn't help frowning, although Shanzi's engagement was not deliberately concealed, but it was not publicized everywhere, how did she know?
Sure enough, when Lin Shan's family affairs were mentioned, Father Lin's eyes showed hesitation, but it was only a blink of an eye. "This doesn't bother Mrs. Liu, my Lin family marries a daughter-in-law or a daughter, and I have my own arrangement as a father."
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Liu Fang's angry face turned blue and white for a while, and he scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't want to offend people: "Since you think the marriage date is inappropriate, let's choose another good day." But I'm here, so I'll talk to you about the dowry and dowry of the two children. ”
"My son's family affairs are gifted by the emperor, and the palace will naturally prepare a dowry gift. Then the rest is your Lin family's dowry. I heard that your Lin family moved to Luoyang, and they still relied on Meizi's cooking skills to open a few restaurants to get to where they are today. That is to say, I will be cheeky to speak for my future daughter-in-law. ”
The father and son of the Lin family frowned and said, "I want to hear about it!" ”
"Your plums have worked hard for many years, both merit and hard work, and they are better than many men. It's a pity that the age has also gone up, and if this pair of people is worn out, there will be no man and half woman under the knees in the future, and there will always be more silver pounds. Of course, I'm also talking about ......."
"There is no case", Lin Shan sneered and went back directly: "Since ancient times, marrying a daughter, it is a matter for the woman's family to give more or less dowry, and I don't have to let my in-laws ask for reason." ”
Who knew that Song Meizhi snorted and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, don't worry, listen to me explain to you slowly." My mother-in-law was also very kind. If this matter is still in Baishui Town, then we will do it according to the rules of the villagers, and this dowry will naturally be decided by your woman. But now our Liu family has different identities, my uncle is a dignified general, and your eldest sister marries into our Liu family, so naturally she has to follow the rules of the Beijing family. Regardless of whether to marry a wife or a daughter, the dignified general marries a wife, if the pomp is too low, how will your eldest sister raise her head in front of the officials in the future. ”
"Hmph, the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart." Lin Shan muttered in a low voice, but he also knew that what she said was not unreasonable. For a while, there was no countermeasure in my heart, the eldest sister's family property, even if it was all given to her as a dowry, was nothing, but this was not according to the will of the Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Father Lin glanced at his son, meaning to let him calm down for a while, and instead looked at her with condensed eyes, secretly thinking, this is Meizi's future concubine, at first glance, it is a lively heart, not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I don't know if Meizi can cope with it in the future.
After thinking about it, it is better to take care of the relationship for the girl first. said: "According to the meaning of the nephew and daughter-in-law, how much can this dowry be on the table?" ”
Song Meizhi showed an inviting look at her mother-in-law, and then she said without hurrying: "Let Uncle Lin see and smile, how can I have any knowledge." It's just that when I first arrived in Beijing, I heard people talk about the customs of marriage in Beijing, and I only knew a little about it. ”
Speaking of this, he paused pretending to be mysterious, picked up the tea and took a sip lightly before continuing: "I heard that the princess got married, in addition to the full of one hundred and twenty gold and silver jewelry, good land and thick land, there are also many palace maids, guards, and even eunuchs to marry. Tut-tut, this wedding procession can be lined up from the palace to Suzaku Street. We can't compare with the princess's pomp, but not long ago, the Cao family next door to our house continued the string, you must know that the Cao family is just a member of the five-grade outsider, or a continuation of the string, and the woman has accompanied sixty-four lifts. Our general marries a wife, naturally we can't lag behind the Cao family, how can we have to be one hundred and eight lifts. Right, mother-in-law. ”
This Tai Chi was pushed to Liu Fang's body, as for the dowry of one hundred and eight lifts, Liu Fang's didn't even think about it, and directly took it and said: "That's natural, I heard that the Queen Mother wanted to match her niece and granddaughter to my family Dawu, but Dawu was infatuated with your plums, so he refused." Otherwise, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family is the county lord, and the dowry of one hundred and eight lifts is too little. ”
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family are talking about me, and they are talking happily. Ginkgo took Tong Dacai and hurried to the Weeping Flower Hall and was seen by Sixi, and gently patted Lin Mei with his hand, suggesting that someone was coming.
Lin Mei turned around, asked the two of them to stay with a shushing sound of her fingers, and saw that the person retreated to the door of the Weeping Flower Hall, and whispered in Sixi's ear to let the Nighthawk keep an eye on the person! He paced away.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Lin family, Tong Dacai couldn't help but report: "Everything has been fine in Yishantang these days, but today a few uninvited guests came, saying that they were here to find the lost child." I'm afraid that this matter has something to do with Miss Phantom, so I hid the person first, and then dealt with it, but unfortunately, guess who the leader is. ”
In order to settle the place where Phantom Xiang and the child lived, Lin Mei listened to Nighthawk's suggestion and set up the Yishan Hall to take in orphans and widows among the refugees who never wanted to leave. In this way, when there are many children, Phantom Xiang is not so eye-catching when she mixes in with the children.
I didn't expect someone to come to the door so soon.
Lin Mei frowned, unable to guess.
Tong Dacai knew that she would not be able to guess, and said worriedly: "The one who took the lead was Gu Amo... Lord Gu. ”
"Who?!" Lin Mei was surprised and stopped.
Tong Da knew that she heard it clearly, but nodded affirmatively and didn't squeak again.
"You two met?" Lin Mei turned her head to him and asked worriedly.
"Well, but don't worry, he didn't ask directly, just inquired from the side, and I was fooled, only saying that the master was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see children starving and suffering. He also praised his master's kindness, and when he finished his errand, he came to find his master to catch up. ”
The old is fake, and the child who inquired about the county lord is the real one! Lin Mei didn't believe this polite statement.
Speechless all the way to the backyard of the Red Apricot Building.
"What's going on in Kyori? Have you heard the news of Qi Niang or King Qi?! ”
"I heard that General Liu received one or two cities as soon as he arrived at the Longyou territory, and the court was very satisfied, and the queen mother in the capital was overwhelmed and calm. It's a pity that the emperor was unconscious, and King Qi personally brought the divine doctor into the palace to offer medicine, and the results have not yet been discovered. ”
King Qi offering medicine? What kind of medicine does he sell in this gourd? Lin Mei was completely stunned now, this was a big circle, he was in a hurry to save people, what did he want?
