Chapter 654: Dowry

Old Madam Ling's brows furrowed more and more.

"Mother, but what's wrong with the dowry?" Ling Guogong saw it and asked.

Old Madam Ling handed the dowry list to Ling Guogong: "Take a look." ”

Ling Guogong looked at it and looked back at Mrs. Ling Guo: "Madame is so generous." ”

"Grandpa Guo, Jia'er is a son-in-law. How can a son-in-law marry a relative? Now people outside are saying that our Lingguo Mansion is an empty shell. If it's too shabby, isn't that more gossip? I'm also thinking about the face of the Ling Guo Mansion. Duchess Ling Guo explained.

"Face? If you really care about the face of the Ling Guo Mansion, you won't let that son of a scumbag get into trouble outside. Mothers have many defeated children. He's going to be what he is today, and you're the one who hurt him. Ling Guogong said coldly: "Twenty thousand silver is not needed." You don't need the calligraphy and painting on it, and you don't need that vase. Others can be arranged. ”

Chu Yuqin heard Ling Guogong say this, and said, "Father, mother doesn't want to treat my uncle badly, this idea is understandable. If my mother is willing to take care of the dowry, let her add it! ”

"Why am I responsible? Jia'er is the sister-in-law of the Ling Guo Mansion. If he wants to get married, he should go to the public account. Duchess Ling Guo said: "You are now the person in charge of the Ling Guo Mansion. Such a big Lingguo Mansion, don't tell me that I can't even arrange this little thing. ”

Chu Yuqin was questioned by Duchess Ling Guo like this, and there were several pairs of eyes staring at her, she was not in a hurry, and said without changing her face: "How much money is left in the house, I have already put the account book in my father's study." Father knew it at a glance. Mother also said that the Ling Guo Mansion has a big business. Since the family is big and the business is big, there are many people who need to be arranged. Do you have to empty out the house for the sake of the uncle? ”

"Alright. Needless to say. Ling Guogong had already read the account book, and it was even clearer that Chu Yuqin was not cheating.

Before that, the Ling Guo Mansion was already an empty shell. Under Chu Yuqin's management, he is now finally able to maintain the use of the house. The most important thing is that he has no less money in his monthly entertainment expenses. If it had been before, Duchess Ling Guo was always stingy, so that his grandfather would not have any face.

Of course, it is their high climb that a family like Zhao Mansion can marry them Ling Guo Mansion. Even if the dowry was a little less, they did not dare to have any objections.

The reputation of the girl of the Zhao family was ruined. At this time, she was in a hurry to get married. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't want to make too much trouble, their Ling Guo Mansion would drag on for a year and a half, what else could the Zhao family do?

Thinking of this, Ling Guogong felt even more that there was no need to pay so much silver as a dowry. If Madame wants to do a big job, let her make her own money. Anyway, her mother's family ate a lot of silver from their Lingguo Mansion. At this time, you should also spit out some.

"Do as Mrs. Shizi says." Ling Guogong said: "If the Duchess thinks there is something wrong, use your dowry money to supplement your useless son." ”

Duchess Ling Guo only felt a fishy sweetness in her throat.

She forcibly endured the fishy smell and glared at Chu Yuqin viciously.

This slut!

Don't get complacent.

She's going to make her look good.

Jiang Shi and Ling Shengzhi made a quiet background board.

Today's events made them understand that Chu Yuqin had surrendered Ling Guogong. Duchess Ling Guo has no chance of winning against her.

If Ling Guogong could still stumble Chu Yuqin before, now I am afraid that he will not even be able to touch a single strand of her hair.

Ling Shengyi saw that they were almost discussed, and pushed the peeled shrimp in front of Chu Yuqin: "After talking for so long, I haven't eaten properly." Eat something to cushion your stomach. ”

"Yi'er." Ling Guogong looked at Ling Shengyi. "It's rare to see you so quiet. Why don't you speak? ”

"My daughter-in-law just said it alone. If she says she won't win, it's not too late for me to come forward. Ling Shengyi said lightly.

"Huh. It seems that you are really worried that we are bullying your daughter-in-law. Ling Guogong said angrily: "There have been a lot of things in the DPRK and China recently. Aren't you tired? ”

"Tired! No matter how tired you are, you have to guard your daughter-in-law. Ling Shengyi said lightly: "Now that you're done, you can eat, right?" ”

"Alright. Eat! Ling Guogong said angrily: "In the future, they will all say that you are not close to women." The father almost believed it. Now I know that it was someone who didn't meet you. ”

Chu Yuqin smiled: "Father, we can meet so far away. This shows that we are destined. If it weren't for me, you'd still be a bachelor with an unfeminine son! Father, am I meritorious to the Ling Guo Mansion? Should you reward me? ”

It is rare for Ling Guogong to be so calm with Chu Yuqin. Maybe it's because the recent entertainment expenses are sufficient, and it's becoming more and more pleasing to the eye to see this daughter-in-law. Maybe it's because I haven't quarreled with Ling Shengyi for a long time, but looking at the little couple again, they feel that men and women are a match made in heaven. Maybe it's because of the dead silence of the big room and the comparison between the third room and the second room, and he still thinks that the second room is more in line with him.

"What do you want? Everyone else calls you the God of Wealth. The property you have in your hands should be much stronger than mine. Ling Guogong said.

"Daughter-in-law doesn't use property." Chu Yuqin said: "My daughter-in-law has taken a fancy to the brush you used every day. ”

"That day? You rarely come to my study. Didn't you see which pen I used last time you brought me a snack? Ling Guogong said: "The red one? ”

Seeing Chu Yuqin nodding, Ling Guogong continued: "It's really knowledgeable. The hair on that pen is red fox hair, and the wood on the body of the pen is not ordinary wood. Do you think it smells good? ”

"Yes. Not only is it fragrant, but the color is beautiful. There is also a pattern that comes with it. Although my daughter-in-law didn't look closely, with my eyesight, I can be sure that the pattern on it is natural. Chu Yuqin said: "Is there any origin of that pen?" ”

"Of course there is a history. It was a gift. Ling Guogong said angrily: "It's really right to say that you are a money fan." What is valuable, what do you value? It was a gift from the emperor. I completed a big case back then. The emperor was overjoyed, so he gave me the pen. So far, there are only two in the whole capital. One on the emperor's dragon case. ”

Chu Yuqin was surprised: "So precious? It seems that my father will not give it to me. ”

"That pen can't be given to you. When Yi'er inherits the position of the prince, it will be passed on to him sooner or later. Let's change the conditions! Ling Guogong said.

"My father's study was the size of my father's study, and I fell in love with a pen. Since you can't touch it, there's nothing you need to do it. Chu Yuqin said: "Keep this condition for now." Later, when I think about it, I will find my father. ”

"Okay." Ling Guogong is a rare good talker. "Eat well. Tomorrow I will take care of the dowry. Let's settle this marriage first. lest there be more and more gossip. ”

"Yes." Chu Yuqin looked at the Duchess of Ling Guo, who looked displeased: "Tomorrow, my daughter-in-law will discuss the specific details with my mother." ”
