231 Dowry
Liqingyuan's new play finally has a name, called "Huanxi Robbery".
"Joy and Joy" also has a not-so-perfect ending that gives people wireless imagination - the son disobeys the family's order and marries a young lady alone...... So, what will the future life of these two people be?
Different people will have different opinions.
And the Lin Mansion closed the door at this time, closing the rumors and sights outside the gate.
Mrs. Lin took the dowry list presented by Yang Guangbei personally, looked at it a few times, and said to Yang Guangbei with a smile: "Hmm...... You're willing to do it...... Aren't you afraid that you will lose face by asking your daughter-in-law for no use in the future? β
Lin Minjia was taking her son to look at the white swans who were scared stupid by the cymbals all the way, and when she heard Mrs. Lin say this, she hurriedly jumped over, squeezed around Mrs. Lin to look at the dowry list, and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? β
After Lin Minjia glanced at it a few times, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "I didn't expect that you have so many good things when you are such a person who has been silent!" I thought your forty-eight dowries were all tricks! β
As she spoke, she showed the gift slip to Lin Yijia again, and said, "Little Liu, take a look!" Now among our sisters, we are the richest one! Tut-tut...... "She beckoned her son and Junyu and Yanyu again, and pointed at Lin Yijia and tempted their children: "See?" This is your little aunt, if you want to buy anything in the future, if you don't have enough money, just look for her! She's got a lot of money! β
Several of the children were grinning.
Mrs. Lin glared at her second daughter, and scolded with a smile: "You are shallow-eyed!" I don't have to teach bad children! Go aside! β
But Yang Guangbei's dowry is really thick.
Although the outside of the box looks very ordinary. They all use a model house to represent the house, a wooden board with the word "Shang" written on it to represent the shop, a little linen to represent the clothing, a silver bracelet to represent jewelry, and so on, butβ
The house is not just a house in one place, but a total of eight houses, from a small single courtyard to a large house with a garden in the fifth entrance, which is really all over the southeast and northwest of Shengjing; The grange is a mountain forest, paddy field, dry land, and sandy land. There are all kinds of them, and another of them is a rare hot land with hot springs, and some green leafy vegetables are produced in winter, which are cheap for self-consumption or other use; The situation of the shop is similar to that of the house, and it is spread over the streets of several trades; Needless to say, the clothes are all valuable, and the jewelry is stunned! Other than that. There are actually two small boxes of bright gold bricks and silver bricks!
Not counting the two boxes of real gold and silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings (the value is not easy to estimate), the other ones with relatively low value are worth 200,000 taels of silver!
"My mother-in-law also knew that my mother had a lot of escorts back then...... Coupled with my father's private property, after twenty years of operation, it is not much to take out these things. In addition......" Yang Guangbei took out another gift list from his arms and said, "This is a gift list for outsiders...... I also asked my mother-in-law to say less to the outside world. The brocade silk is moving. So as not to bring trouble to Yi'er in the future. β
This gift list is much more normal, and even looks a little thin.
Mrs. Lin nodded after seeing it. handed over the gift list to others to circulate, and said to Yang Guangbei kindly: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, our family is not that flamboyant person." β
After a pause, she said again: "These things will be counted in Yi'er's escort, and we will add some more." It doesn't add much, but it is the heart of our parents. Don't mind. β
Yang Guangbei hurriedly said "no".
Over there, Lin Minjia has already begun to open the cages one by one to see.
Open one for each. She couldn't help but praise and comment, but she didn't care that Kang Yongtong's face had begun to darken. It wasn't until the jewel cage was opened that the eyes of those present were dazzled by a piece of jewels - it was really a box of jewels, all kinds of pearls and gemstones, like stones, unpolished and stuffed!
And there are two boxes that are more than three feet high!
Lin Yijia was also stunned.
Yang Guangbei didn't know when he stood beside Lin Yijia, and when he saw her stunned, he explained: "These are actually collected from the Hu people in the extreme west. Locally, these gems are really like stones...... If it is a bad year, it is good to exchange a pound of grain for one...... It's useless for me to put it away, and if I release it all at once, the price of the gem will definitely fall...... And I did not lack money to use, so I kept it in the treasury. β
"Hu Ren?" Lin Yijia subconsciously repeated.
Yang Guangbei nodded and said, "It's a long way to them, and you can go to the desert and snow mountains along the way. The road was difficult to travel, and there were horse bandits and fierce people, so the merchants of Daxian could not go far to the west. β
He looked at the gems and smiled, "You can keep the jewelry for yourself, or give it away." His eyes looked around at the ladies present, and finally fell on the two little girls Junyu and Yanyu, which seemed to say: There are many ladies in the Lin family, and each person will share some and go, so it will not be too much......
It stands to reason that the bride price given by the husband's family is to be given to the bride as a dowry and then brought back to the husband's family. But Mrs. Lin understood what Yang Guangbei meant, smiled, pulled the Li family, took the lead in picking out more than a dozen sapphires of different sizes from the two boxes of treasures, and picked the same number of rubies for the Li family, and said with a smile: "Let's take advantage of it today, use these treasures to make a set of heads, and also show off." β
The two elders picked it, and the rest of Lin Huijia was even more polite, and after picking their favorite gems with a smile, they discussed the style of the head. Mrs. Lin commanded the rest of the things to be locked and carried them into the warehouse.
After all the excitement, it's always time to get down to business.
Everyone sat down, Mrs. Lin straightened her face, and asked Yang Guangbei: "Xiaobei, if you are hired, you can do it alone." But what do you plan to do when you pray in the future? β
Having a wedding event is by no means a simple matter.
If the elders and relatives of the Yang Mansion made up their minds and ignored them, this happy event would not be able to go on at all. Anyway, Yang Guangbei lives in Yang Mansion. He has a grandmother and a cousin...... He is not Song Jie.
When Mrs. Lin mentioned this, everyone in the hall also put away their smiles and looked at Yang Guangbei.
Yang Guangbei was very safe, smiled slightly, and said, "Since they didn't stop me from going out, of course they recognized this family business." When they are hired, they can still talk about the past if they don't come forward, but when they become a gift. If they are cold, they will not be able to talk about it...... My family affair, no matter how I say it, is also the first family affair of the Yang Mansion Guangzi generation, if I don't do it well, heh, they can't afford to lose that face. β
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have to worry about ...... future," Yang Guangbei said: "I think everyone knows." I was not close to my two uncles or cousins...... "He was more like a neighbor who had been cold to each other for many years than a relative." How can a neighbor manage a neighbor's house?
"In the future, there will always be a division of the government." Yang Guangbei said in a deep voice.
Even if he doesn't ask for a division, the current Wuxinghou Yang Sanye will definitely want to divide the mansion - if he doesn't divide the mansion, his Wuxinghou title still belongs to the entire Yang family. It can be replaced; And divided the house, and set up the plaque of Wu Xinghou. That's much more independent. At least, from the perspective of etiquette, if Yang Sanye dies, the title should be passed on to his son, rather than considering whether to return it to Dafang......
Therefore, Yang Guangbei can wait, and Yang Sanye can wait.
Everyone here understands this. Nodding is satisfied-if the house is divided, only the little two will live. Naturally, I didn't say it.
"When it comes to marriage, you have to be careful." Mrs. Lin asked someone to hand Yang Guangbei a note, and said: "These are all good days for you to coincide with your eight characters next year and the year after tomorrow, you can see and choose one, and it is time to prepare." The meaning of my old lady, sooner rather than later, after all, the two of you are not small. β
"Yes." Yang Guangbei opened the note and looked at it, and said with a smile: "I agree with the old lady's meaning...... Mother-in-law, look, will you be a little rushed on the eighth day of the fourth month? β
Between now and the eighth day of April, there will only be five months, which is a little close, but it is also very suitable.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Shiqing, and then said to Yang Guangbei: "The eighth day of April is good. After you go back and make an agreement with your elders, send someone over to talk about it. β
Yang Guangbei shook his head and said, "No need to ...... This is the day ......"
Mrs. Lin frowned slightly, but did not say anything, but said to Lin Yijia: "...... Lead Xiaobei around the garden. β
It's about giving them space to speak.
Yang Guangbei's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, he got up and saluted, and looked at Lin Yijia with burning eyes.
Even in winter, the noon sun is also very hot, and it is warm and warm on people.
There is no wind.
If it weren't for the unmelted snow and mostly bare branches, it would feel like a spring day.
Lin Yijia didn't know what to say to Yang Guangbei at this time.
The scenery and allusions of Yiyuan, Yang Guangbei must be familiar with them, and she doesn't need to waste her lips and tongues. There is nothing to say, but it is embarrassing.
The two of them walked slowly through the garden, from the bluestone path, to the wooden floor, to the cobblestone path, and then back to the lotus pond. Of course, there are no lotus flowers in the lotus pond at this time, and it is a quiet piece of ice.
"If the people wait carefully, I wonder if those two pairs of white swans will survive until tomorrow March? Will they be willing to make their home in this lotus pond? Yang Guangbei opened his mouth.
Lin Yijia shook his head and said, "The world here is too small, they won't be willing to stay." β
"Then I'd better send them all back south." Yang Guangbei said: "We have borrowed them for a long time, so let's not continue to torture them." Yi'er, what do you think? β
"Is it convenient?" Lin Yijia asked seriously.
The white swan is in the south, but because of himself, he has suffered an unwarranted disaster.
Yang Guangbei nodded and said, "I also have a merchant under my name." β
Leave it to the caravan, that is, the matter of stopping by the way. Lin Yijia smiled slightly, she had just forgotten that in fact, Qingfengnian's caravan had always traveled back and forth between the north and the south. Besides, there are no special traders in Shengjing.
"I've seen all those patterns, it's beautiful." Lin Yijia admired the beautiful and delicate ice flowers on the lake, and said, "I want to use the last one to make an embroidery picture, what do you think?" β
"The last one? I like it too......" Yang Guangbei nodded in agreement.
The two of them said without saying a word for a while, Lin Yijia suddenly turned his face and said to Yang Guangbei: "About the incident of the horse last time, how did you investigate?" I want to know. β
Yang Guangbei was stunned, hesitated, and said, "Yi'er, can't you leave it to me?" Naturally, I won't let everyone involved in it go......"
Lin Yijia shook his head, his voice was slightly cold, and said, "I always want to know who is targeting me." β
And in this way.
In the past few days, she has been thinking about what would have happened if she hadn't been able to escape. Every time she thought about it, her heart was coldβshe wanted to live. But if she really wanted to be humiliated, she would rather die herself. It's not terrible to die, I'm afraid that I won't be able to decide my own life and death when the time comes!
She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if something mishap.
She really didn't dare to think about it.
In the face of Zhao Linglong, she was able to say something like that easily, because she knew that Zhao Linglong was already patient when she was willing or not.
And she knew in her heart that she herself would never be able to endure it!
Someone wanted her to die, and she might not be as angry as she is today. But if someone wants her to die in such a disgrace, she will never give up!
"Do you have a watchword?" Lin Yijia asked suddenly.
"What?" Yang Guangbei was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what Lin Yijia was asking, shook his head, and said: "When I was a child, my father and mother used to joke and call me 'thousands of miles' for a while, but no one called me later. β
Are there any fish in the North Underworld?
Lin Yijia nodded and said, "Then I will call you Qianli in the future." β
"Qianli, I know you will definitely be able to find out the ins and outs of everything......" Lin Yijia said very seriously: "I hope you can tell me." Now that we have set a wedding date, I also hope that you can tell me anything related to me and the two of us in the future...... Just like my father has always been in contact with my mother...... What do you think? β
Is it like a father-in-law and a mother-in-law?
That's exactly what he wanted...... Yang Guangbei also looked at Lin Yijia seriously, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay." β
He walked along the shore, and said in a low voice as he walked: "Back then, when the ancestor of the Yang family, that is, the grandfather and Emperor Yuan met in Weimo, they fought all the way and finally achieved great things. Grandpa Tai won the trust of Emperor Yuan, and in the process of the great cause, he took charge of the dark department for Emperor Yuan......"
He suddenly talked about this past, which surprised Lin Yijia very much. She quickly reacted that what Yang Guangbei was about to talk to her about must be extremely secret and important, so secret that it is not suitable for even husband and wife to know.
She subconsciously wanted to stop him from going on. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
