002 Dowry

Although Wang Xiaoniang is also dressed in plain clothes, the wonderful charm at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes is not comparable to that of the people in the hall.

It's no wonder that Master Lin always lived in Wang Xiaoniang's yard before his death, but Wang Xiaoniang is not a domineering person, although she has a rich dowry from her mother's family, she never takes Qiao, and only lives in the one acre and three points of land that belongs to her.

Wang Xiaoniang's concubine saluted the other lady, but she held her and refused, Wang Xiaoniang was puzzled, and Mrs. Fang said: "Sister Wang, I can't stand it!"

Wang Xiaoniang was even more puzzled, she was originally a little lady of the Lin Mansion, and Mrs. Fang was the wife of the main family, where could she not afford it?

"Big lady, where did you start with this?"

Mrs. Fang sat down on the main seat opposite her, and suddenly knelt down, her voice was sad, "Sister of the Wang family, because of my woman, you have to be a concubine for many years in the Lin family, you are the daughter of the Wang family, even the princes and nobles are also happy to be carried into the mansion to be the head lady." ”

She whimpered and choked twice, Wang Xiaoniang couldn't help her, so she could only lower her body and listen to her: "Now that the official has left, I thought that he would come back from a business trip, so I will give you the position of this lady, I never thought that his illness came so urgently, there was no doctor for the medicine, so I went, and I didn't see you become the head lady as I wished!"

Lin Yu'an sat on the side, silent.

Lin Yuzhu and Lin Yuqing's faces were a little anxious, but they couldn't speak because of the etiquette. Lin Yuzhu was anxious and angry, is her mother confused, if she really let Wang Xiaoniang be her mother-in-law, then wouldn't they become concubines?

Seeing that she has also reached the age of discussing marriage, I would ask who would marry a concubine as a housewife, but she would not want to be a little mother.

Wang Xiaoniang waited for Mrs. Fang to finish speaking, and then reached out and helped her up.

"Big lady, what are you talking about, since the concubine has entered the Lin Mansion as a little lady, where is there a saying that the head lady will give way halfway, isn't this a poke in the backbone?"

Mrs. Fang heard her refusal, and immediately knelt down again, but this time she was pulled by Mother Huo next to Wang Xiaoniang.

"Sister of the Wang family, you know, the official is already meager, and when he comes back to treat his illness, the medicine stone is about to exhaust the family's meager property, and there are more than a dozen people in the family, but they can only point to you to live."

Wang Xiaoniang left the main seat, walked straight to the hall, it began to rain outside, and the begonias had flowers and bones.

If it is true that the Lin Mansion can't live anymore and can only watch her dowry live, then it doesn't matter if she shares some of the dowry.

It's a pity that the eldest lady wants to use this method to persecute her. Ordinary people have never given way to concubines in the main room, if she accepts it today, for the expenses of the Lin Mansion, her dowry will naturally have to be taken out.

But in the future, her daughter, although she won the position of concubine, can no longer raise her head, others will say that her mother is not a decent person, all kinds of gossip, anything will come out, how will she live in Yu'an, who will want such a sister to be a daughter-in-law.

If she doesn't accept it, the eldest lady will say that she is greedy for money and unjust, and she refuses to accept her husband's family with a dowry, and her reputation will be bad, and Yu'an's reputation will be much better.

Wang Xiaoniang turned around and looked at the eldest lady, the beautiful Danfeng stared straight at her, "The eldest lady, now that the official has gone, what does it matter if the main house is biased, it's just a name." ”

As she spoke, she formally walked in front of Mrs. Fang, and the concubine made a proper salute, "The eldest lady has worked hard for the Lin Mansion for half her life, and she is really a great hero of the Lin family, and the concubine does not dare to exceed the rules." ”

Mrs. Fang listened to Wang Xiaoniang just dialing a thousand catties in four or two, and took off the conversation lightly, like a punch on cotton, there was no half reaction, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while, there was no wave on her face, she only smiled wryly.

When everyone left, Tian's mother had already seen that the eldest lady was about to rain and was forced to calm down.

"Big lady, take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger."

Tian's mother poured the tea again and sent it to Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Fang was so angry that she fidgeted, took the tea and felt hot, put it back again, and waved her hand again and again: "Don't drink it, don't drink it, where can I still drink any tea."

Mother Tian smiled and walked to Mrs. Fang's side to pinch her shoulders for her, "The eldest lady used to be sure of everything, but now because this Wang Xiaoniang picked your head, she is so anxious, this is not the attitude of the eldest lady." ”

When Mrs. Fang heard this, she looked sideways at Mother Tian, her eyes rolled, "Mother Tian, you're right, I'm dizzy from anger, just thinking that I lost the child and didn't set the wolf, so I messed up." ”

Seeing that she came back to her senses and knew what she was doing, Mother Tian nodded with satisfaction, "The eldest lady is shrewd." ”

Mother Tian is the companion of Mrs. Fang, she has won the trust of Mrs. Fang, she also knows the lady very well, after so many years of compromise, now she has finally survived and is the master of the house in the Lin Mansion, but it turns out to be just an empty shell, how can she feel good.

Fortunately, when she married the noble concubine and the little lady, she brought a rich dowry, if she could get this dowry, she would have nothing to ask for when the time came to buy a decent dowry for the two sisters, Lin Yuzhu and Lin Yuqing.

Mrs. Fang's dowry is not much, and it is almost exhausted after so many years, and she thinks that her idea is not wrong, after all, she generously gave up the lord to Wang Xiaoniang, and she should make something in return.

The two of them carefully planned in the house, and then saw Tian's mother let people set up a car and hurriedly went out.

Lin Yu'an went back to the house, didn't say much, took out the female worker who was only half done in the basket, found a needle and sat at the door to embroider by the daylight.

Xian Pu turned around and went to cook a drink for Lin Yu'an, took an iron spoon to crush the tangerine peel, poured it into the casserole, and suddenly the tangerine peel in the room tasted slightly bitter and fragrant.

Lin Yu'an smelled the aroma, raised his head and looked in the direction of Xianpu, the same Danfeng eyes as Wang Xiaoniang were shining, "Is Xianpu a calming soup?" ”

Xian Pu nodded, and stirred in the pot with a long rod, "Recently, the corners of Miss's mouth bubbled, so she added some herbs that were on fire and made a drink together." ”

Lin Yu'an smiled, "You are a dedicated person." The corners of her mouth were blistering, she didn't pay attention to herself, but Xianpu was attentive.

The master and servant spoke, and in the blink of an eye they went their own way. Not long after, Mother Huo, who was next to Wang Xiaoniang, came over.

Lin Yu'an has always respected Huo's mother, and I heard that this Huo's mother is Xiaoniang's wet nurse, so she married together.

"Mother Huo is here, but what does the little lady command?" Lin Yu'an stood up to greet her and asked softly.

Huo's mother walked into the house and saw that the young lady was working as a female worker, and the idle pu seemed to be making drinks, and the room was quiet, with light smoke curling and circling between the beams, but there was a bit of a sense of quiet and good things in the world.

"Miss, my little lady asked me to come over and call you over."

Lin Yu'an packed up the bag and put it back in the basket. got up and followed the instructions to Xian Pu to guard the house, and followed Huo's mother to Wang Xiaoniang's place.
