Chapter 2: Method
Gu Qingyang didn't agree to help, Lin Shiwei didn't give up, and still left the family that had been good friends with the Lin family before, and finally had some eyebrows.
Lin Shiwei's face couldn't help but feel a little happy, she was really tired after running down all day, but she was very happy in her heart.
Lin Shiwei's maid Xiaoxi said with a distressed face: "Miss, why are you so troubled? After seeing so many people and saying a lot of good things, you have to look at people's faces, even if you go home, Mrs. may not be grateful to you, this is obviously what the eldest young master should do, if it weren't for the eldest young master not being able to hold up, how could the young lady be so busy? ”
Lin Shiwei frowned, she glanced at Xiaoxi, and then said: "Don't say that, we are all a family, the eldest brother can't help and is in a hurry, it was my father who had an accident, I can't help but save him, right?" ”
"Miss, you think it's a family, Mrs. didn't think about it that way, Mrs. saw that the master took Miss to do business, Mrs. didn't say in front of the master that you would marry sooner or later, but it can't be regarded as the Lin family!" Xiaoxi said indignantly.
Lin Shi pursed his lips slightly, and his resolute eyebrows were dyed with a thin layer of mist.
"Don't talk nonsense, she's my mother."
Xiaoxi felt that Mrs. Lin didn't think so, Mrs. Lin had always been partial to Young Master Lin, even Master Lin was the same, the couple only had this son, and they were counting on him to inherit the lineage and glorify the lintel, so they had always doted on Young Master Lin.
As a result, Young Master Lin was raised into a gentleman, who could only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and did not do anything serious, just this Mrs. Lin still counted on Young Master Lin, saying that in the future, the Lin family would rely on Young Master Lin.
This time Master Lin had an accident, and Lin Shiwei was still running around, so it was no wonder that Xiaoxi would not be angry.
Lin Shiwei walked into the main hall, and Mrs. Lin and Young Master Lin Baizhou were there.
Mrs. Lin hurriedly stood up: "Shi Yuan, how is it, Gu Gongzi has promised to help?" ”
Lin Shiwei thought of Gu Qingyang's words, pursed his lips, and then said: "Gu Gongzi didn't promise to help, because of the pear blossom white incident before, he probably still held a grudge against us, but I have found another way, I can rescue my father first." ”
Mrs. Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to save your father, as long as your father can come out, our family will be safe." ”
Lin Baizhou looked at Lin Shiwei at this time, he was three years older than Lin Shiwei, and the two brothers and sisters of the Lin family looked good, but Lin Baizhou had been drinking and having fun for many years, and he looked quite weak, especially a pair of eyes, revealing a little cloudiness, which made people look unhappy.
"Mother, don't be happy too early, Dad, this is a relationship between human life, how can it be revoked so easily? If we don't scrape the skin of our Lin family, this case will not be closed. Lin Baizhou said coldly: "I think you should first ask how much silver you want to spend before you are happy." ”
Mrs. Lin immediately looked at Lin Shiwei, Lin Shiwei pursed her lips, and before she could speak, Xiaoxi said: "Madam, how can you not spend money in dealing with the government?" This is still the opportunity for the young lady to ask a lot of people and say many good things. ”
"Come on, don't say it so nicely, we are on the pole to send silver to the government, who has the money and can not take it? This government is just waiting for you to take the initiative to spend more money, you are so anxious, can people ask for less? Lin Baizhou snorted lightly and said, paused, he looked at Lin Shiwei: "How much does the government want this time?" ”
Lin Shiwei said: "The official loves money, but he also has to share what money, this time it is a life lawsuit, and the matter has already made a big fuss, even if the county order wants to collect money to do things, it is necessary to take risks, and the county commander does not need to take risks for our Lin family, so he will only help if he comes up with enough capital to make him happy." ”
Lin Baizhou snorted lightly: "This kind of thing is just an ignorant woman and child like you, they see that you are a woman, so they coax you like this, so this woman just can't do things." ”
Lin Shiwei's face changed suddenly, and she strode in front of Lin Baizhou: "I can't do it, you should go!" You are a manly man, and you will fight against the Lin family's court? Why should I let a woman come forward? ”
Lin Baizhou's face turned red with anger: "How did you talk to me?" A girl, mother, you don't care about him! ”
Mrs. Lin hurriedly stood up to play the round, but she was protecting Lin Baizhou, "Shi Wei, how did you talk to your brother, your brother is also for your good, worried that you have been deceived," After a pause, she hurriedly asked, "By the way, how much money will it cost this time?" ”
Lin Shiwei stiffened his face and said, "The preliminary estimate is about 30,000 taels." After a pause, she added, "That's the least!" It can't be lower than this price, this is the number given by Master Liu, let us prepare according to this number first. ”
Mrs. Lin was taken aback: "Thirty thousand taels? So much? ”
Lin Baizhou sneered and said: "I'll just say it, she must have fooled people, what kind of noble person died can't she do?" To spend 30,000 taels to buy his life? ”
When Lin Shiwei heard this, he glared at him angrily: "That's not someone else, that's buying my father's life!" Dad was not in good health, and he didn't know how many sins he would have to suffer when he was killed by this! Do you want to turn a blind eye and not save your father? ”
"When did I say I wouldn't save my father? Don't misinterpret me, I mean, there's no need to spend so much money, you've been deceived. Lin Baizhou said, his face full of indignation.
Lin Shiwei's eyes showed a little disappointment, because the Lin family only had Lin Baizhou as a man, he was spoiled by his parents since he was a child, and as a result, he grew up and developed a high-eyed and low-handed temperament, and Mrs. Lin almost treated him as an ancestor, so that this young master really thought that he had become an ancestor, and everyone had to let him.
Lin Shiwei shook his head helplessly, and didn't say anything more, "Mother, the silver on the cabinet can't be moved, 30,000 taels of silver, it's not that our family can't get it out of it, let's save my father first." After a pause, she said, "I'm tired today, so I'll go back to the room first." ”
Mrs. Lin nodded, "Then you can go back and rest." ”
Lin Baizhou watched Lin Shiwei leave, and when she was far away, he hurriedly stood up and said to Mrs. Lin: "Mother, you can't listen to that girl in this matter, give her so much silver, I estimate that there is fraud in this matter!" ”
"Mother, you can't listen to the one-sided words, she's just a girl, these 30,000 taels, maybe how much she has to hide!" Lin Baizhou said: "And mother, two years ago, my father took her with me, and she was in charge of the accounts at that time, and she couldn't tell how much silver she had hidden in her hand, she must have money in her hand!" Even if she wants to come out, she has to make her come out! ”
Mrs. Lin thought about it and felt that it made sense, she couldn't help complaining: "Your father is really, how could he hand over the business to her to take care of, alas, it's all because my mother didn't persuade your father at the beginning, but Bai Zhou, you're right, Shi Wei must have silver in his hand!" ”
"That's all my money! Now that something has happened to her father, the silver on the cabinet can't be moved, and she must spit out the silver she swallowed! Lin Baizhou said with a sworn face: "My father is at home, and now that my father is gone, it's what I say, don't think about it!" ”
"She's your sister after all, we're family." Mrs. Lin said with some hesitation.
Regardless of her daughter's request for money, she couldn't wipe her face.
Lin Baizhou said as a matter of course: "Mother, of course I know that she is my sister, haven't you already saved her for a dowry?" When our family gets through this difficult time, my father comes back, I will learn to do business with my father, and when I get married in the future, I will add more dowry to her, and it will not be in vain for our brothers and sisters. ”
Lin Bozhou thought for a while, and then said: "Mother, I don't care about the silver in her hand, after all, she is my sister, but there is no precedent for this, if she hides the silver in the future, she is used to hiding it, my son and I are so simple and kind, where is her opponent?" When the time comes, she doesn't even know that the Lin family will be emptied! ”
"That's a no-no! Everything in the Lin family is yours, and my mother won't let her do this! Mrs. Lin hurriedly said.
Lin Baizhou nodded.
Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Baizhou, her face showed a little relief, she touched Lin Baizhou's head: "Now that you are finally sensible, you are the backbone of the Lin family, and my mother is relieved." Your sister's money, I'll tell her tomorrow, why don't you want her to give a part! When your father is rescued, your father will be pleased. ”
Lin Baizhou nodded again and again, paused, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mother, I don't have any money to spend, I want to go out in the next few days to see if I can find a way out, so that my father can come back early, how can it be as much as 30,000 taels?" I'm afraid I'm not fooling us. ”
As long as her son did the right thing, Mrs. Lin didn't agree, and gave him two thousand taels of silver, and Lin Baizhou coaxed her to say a few good words, and then turned around and left.
It's just that as soon as Lin Baizhou left like this, he didn't come back all night.
