Chapter 073: You Did It On Purpose
Qi Rong was dizzy: "Come on, open all the boxes!" β
There are a total of 10 chests on this ground, which means perfection. Lin Ming saw that the situation was not right, and was ready to slip away. He came to stare at these under Lin Shijun's three pleadings, and he was going to fool the past, but who expected that something happened at this juncture, and as soon as he took a step back, he was flashed by the golden light of the first box.
A box of gold? The second box turned out to be jade and coral ornaments, the third box was a pair of porcelain, the fourth box was jewelry and beads, the fifth and sixth boxes were whole boxes of silver ingots, and the last three boxes were all weeds in the stone and soil!
Lin Ming was shocked, he had thought that this dowry was heavy, there were five or six thousand taels, but he never thought that there would be so many? This...... I'm afraid this Lin Shijun is not a fool, let him be shoddy, I didn't expect him to actually use stones and weeds to fill the number, really, stupid, even if he gives five boxes of gifts!
"Lin Ming, tell me, your nephew, what's going on?"
Lin Ming pretended to be shocked: "What? This...... I don't know about this, whether it's too busy today, and the next person is carrying the wrong person. You see that our family Shijun has made such a big deal, can you send something useless? β
Qi Rong nodded: "Okay, take the wrong one?" Come on, on the dowry list!
"One hundred taels of gold, three thousand taels of silver, and a pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets......"
Lin Ming wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and listened to the little guy read it back, the more panicked he became, and sure enough, what was written on the list was really missing three boxes.
"Lin Ming, what else do you have to say?"
Lin Ming rubbed his hands: "This, you ask me, I don't know, what went wrong, but our Lin family marrying a daughter-in-law is definitely not stingy." There must be a misunderstanding in this, but in-laws, for the sake of the two children's great joy today, don't pursue it, I'll go back and find out about it, and I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer. β
Qi Rong gritted his teeth: "Okay." β
Aunt Zhao sneered: "What other reply will there be, it's just an excuse to push and push, I have already said that the poor boy is very poor, where can he afford this dowry, maybe these are also fakes." But sir, you didn't listen, and accompanied a dowry of six thousand taels, who would have thought that someone was black-hearted, cheating money and sex, but I have never seen a girl who married a girl, and wanted to post it so upside down. β
"Tut-tut...... This county master is so generous. β
"This Lin family is too unauthentic, you can give as much as you can, what are you doing with all these imaginary things?"
Qi Rong looked at the people around him laughing and talking, and suddenly his face was gloomy: "You don't give me this set, now I'm going to ask Lin Shijun to understand?" β
Lin Ming didn't let him, this Qi County order made a fuss, and he couldn't get this dowry, where did he go to find the 10,000 taels, and pulled Qi Rong to the side.
"Qi County Order, it's not me who said, we're all a family behind closed doors, why make such an embarrassment and make people laugh? Besides, Miss Qi estimated that she had worshiped in the hall, if you really messed up this family matter, how would Miss Qi live in the future. β
"What? I'm stirring up! If your Lin family has one thing to say and two to say two, do I care about it? Whoever told you to do one thing in front of you, one thing behind your back, and take this empty box on top. You are clearly slapping me in the face again. For people like you, my daughter will never marry in her life, and she will not marry - and it is not uncommon! β
After Qi Rong finished speaking indignantly, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and the whole person was overturned.
Lin Ming was startled, and hurriedly greeted: "Oh no, Lord Qi has fainted." β
The scene was noisy for a while, and Mrs. Qi hurriedly ran over with tears and snot in her eyes, and watched her subordinates carry Qi Rong to the house.
Aunt Zhao looked at the boxes in this courtyard and snorted lightly, originally she was still a little envious, but now it seems that Qi Jingyan is not better than her family. Who made the old man look down on Qi Qiaorong, and waited for the eldest lady to give him a long face, now ...... It's really exciting.
Aunt Zhao entered the house and sneered: "Yo, sister, don't cry, crying won't solve the problem." If I give birth to such a daughter, I might as well be killed by a headbutt, it's really embarrassing. β
Mrs. Qi glanced back at Aunt Zhao, and saw Qi Rong lying on the bed, and she didn't say a word for a long time, but she cried even more bitterly.
Qi Lin gritted his teeth and pulled his mother's sleeve: "Mother, don't cry." I took a look, and the dowry was five thousand taels at least, although it was half less than what I said. But if it is less than half, it will have a thousand taels of silver. My brother-in-law's parents are dead, and his family is in a miserable situation, so he can carry a box, just like my other brothers-in-law, which means something. But he didn't, although there was a little bit of a difference, it can be seen that it was also a helpless move, maybe there were no elders to mention it, so he came up with such an oolong. β
Aunt Zhao snorted coldly: "No matter how much silver you give, you can't afford to lose this face." The neighbors are all looking at it, the dignified county order, how can you raise your head in front of people in the future. β
Mrs. Qi hugged Qi Lin and cried non-stop, Qi Lin glared at Aunt Zhao: "Anyway, there is a daughter who is in a hurry to be a concubine for others, and my father can't raise his head for a long time." It's just that if you marry an ordinary family, what's there to be ashamed of. β
"You--you are young and sharp-toothed, I will discipline you for the master today."
Qi Rong woke up, his angry lips trembled, the corners of his forehead burst up, he sat up and glared at Aunt Zhao: "You give me a few words!" β
Kicking the sedan car door and stepping over the brazier, Lin Shijun was holding over there, she followed step by step, saying that it was fake if she was unhappy, but she was full of emotion in her heart, she thought, it would be good if she could go on all the time in this life.
Until I heard the master of ceremonies shout, "Licheng, send it to the cave room." β
She suddenly realized, ah, it's over, it's him again in this life.
Lin Shijun led her to the marriage room, and he felt that the short road was the rest of his life, and he reached the end before he could speak.
"I'll let Qingmiao send me, you go and greet the guests." Qi Jingyan pushed him, remembering that he was very busy in his previous life.
"What kind of guest to greet, I wanted to send you back at the time, but I didn't know what to say, so I watched you enter the door from a distance before I walked away."
Qi Jingyan smiled, and suddenly tripped when he crossed the threshold, and was hugged by him.
"You...... When you see the threshold, say hello to me, you! I might as well let the maid send me, but I'll be killed. β
Lin Shijun couldn't cry or laugh, and helped her to be carefully sent to the bed: "It didn't hurt." β
"What do you say? Can I say it doesn't hurt? β
Lin Shijun smiled and sat beside her blankly: "Are you happy today?" β
Qi Jingyan took his hand: "A little, what about you?" β
"I don't know, I just want to laugh anyway."
Qi Jingyan laughed at him for being stupid in her heart, and saw him patting the back of her hand: "In the future, you will be under my control, I have three requirements for you?" You have to do it. β
"Why? I don't want to listen to you. β
Lin Shijun shook his head: "No, you have to listen to me this time." I don't think our lives will be repeated, I have to say everything I want to say. You are the same, if you have anything to say, don't hide it. Yes, life will not start again, there are obviously so many unwilling times, and I also thought that it would be good if I said it at that time.
"Okay, let's talk about it first."
"I want to ask first, do you have any wishes that you didn't do in your previous life, and you want to do it with me in this life."
Wish? The wish that I didn't fulfill in my previous life, I'm afraid I just couldn't share my head with you.
"Yes, I hope we can go on smoothly for the rest of our lives."
Lin Shijun clenched her hand: "It's a small wish, it will come true." β
"I'm going to say my three requests, you have to memorize them, it's not difficult. The first point, if you get angry, you have to tell me why, and then listen to me explain. β
What is the requirement? Qi Jingyan nodded: "I can do this, but I won't forgive you later." β
Lin Shijun smiled bitterly, feeling that he had wasted one, and sometimes it seemed more difficult to get forgiveness from her than to ascend to the sky. However, it is good to grind a lot of things, as long as I can listen to his explanation.
"The second point is that no matter what happens, you have to tell me as soon as possible. In the future, I will be your dearest person, whether this matter is good for you or me, you must be the first to tell me. β
Qi Jingyan is really no stranger to this request. It's just that there are still too many, too many things to talk to him, especially family matters.
She asked tentatively, "Can you talk about it?" β
Lin Shijun lifted her hijab, she raised her hand and held it: "You can't lift it when the time comes, otherwise it will be unlucky." β
Lin Shijun got under her hijab and looked at her: "In my heart, I only have one mother, and she has died." So, no matter who you are, no matter what happens to you, you have to tell me. I don't want to misunderstand you by hearing moisture-induced words from others. I want to hear you say that whether you are doing right or wrong, I want to hear it and will not blame you. If you do the right thing, I will help you find justice, and if you do something wrong, I will admit punishment for you. In the future...... I don't even want to be with you, you know? β
Qi Jingyan avoided his eyes: "I'll try my best!" β
Lin Shijun smiled and touched the tip of her nose a few times: "The third point is the most important and the simplest, you have to say at least ten words to me every day, and you have to take the initiative to hug me for a quarter of an hour every day, and I don't count." β
"Isn't it too naΓ―ve?"
"Can't you do it?"
Looking at his provocative look, she felt that she couldn't fall into his trap: "What's the use of this?" It's so meaty, it's so bad for people to see. β
"I asked you to talk to me for ten words, and I didn't let you say ten words of love to me, why is it numb. Wouldn't it be a quarter of an hour? Besides, it's all old husbands and wives, what's so embarrassing about this. β
Qi Jingyan's face was flushed, under the small hijab, his breath was too strong, she was a little unavoidable, he had always taken the initiative, she was indeed a little unable to wipe her face, and took the initiative to hug him. But it's not impossible.
"I ...... I try my best. β
"This can't be tried as much as possible, this is a must."
Qi Jingyan nodded: "Okay, I must." β
"That's good, come and kiss one." He licked her lips.
Qi Jingyan stretched out his hand and pressed him on the face, pushed him out from under the hijab: "Go out, aren't you allowed to feast?" Always stay here and do something. β
Lin Shijun's hearty smile came: "It is said that the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and if I stay for a while, I will earn more gold." I was going out when they found out that the groom was gone. β
Qi Jingyan shook off his hand and kicked him, just heard him say, "Why are you still so thin-skinned, just kiss him." β
Qi Jingyan's cheeks instantly turned crimson.
At this moment, Qingmiao knocked on the door and rescued the scene in time: "Uncle, what about the people outside calling you?" β
Lin Shijun got up: "Okay, don't tease you, I have to go out." If you're hungry, let your maid bring some food, and when you're tired, you can rest for a while, so you don't have to sit so dryly. β
Qi Jingyan urged him a little impatiently: "Got it, go quickly." β
As soon as Lin Shijun entered the table and was about to enter the table to drink, Qi Rong arrived menacingly with a group of family members.
"Lin Shijun, tell me what's going on?"
Lin Shijun looked stunned: "Father-in-law? How did you get here? Don't you still have to say hello to the wedding banquet over there? β
Qi Rong slapped the table: "Why am I here, don't you count it in your heart?" Look at the good things you did, and pretend to be stupid, Lin Ming, you come and talk to him. β
Lin Shijun looked at Lin Ming again, there was a lot of movement here, the eaters also stopped chopsticks, and the drinkers also stopped drinking, and looked at each other.
Lin Ming was really afraid of a good marriage, so he stirred up the harmony: "How did you do it, why are there three boxes of clods mixed in it?" β
"It's not...... Didn't you ask me to do this, Uncle Ming? β
Lin Ming patted his head and was speechless: "I'll let you ...... I let you do it? Do you have pig brains? Forget it, now it's okay, people have found out, you can explain it to your father-in-law. β
Lin Shijun was pushed out: "Father-in-law, this ...... This, there may be a misunderstanding. β
"Misunderstanding? Was it because I was blind and didn't see clearly, or did Lin Ming not tell you clearly? So many people, three boxes of soil, you coax ghosts? β
"Don't dare, don't dare. Father-in-law, it's true that there is a mistake on my side, and when the table is dispersed, I will check it out and make up for it. β
Qi Rong waved his hand: "No need, your character is really difficult to compliment, I don't think you are worthy of being my Qi Rong's son-in-law." β
"Father-in-law, what do you mean!"
"My daughter will marry you no one. I will return your dowry, as for the dowry. I'm going to take it with me. β
Lin Shijun hurriedly glanced at Lin Ming, and Lin Ming looked to the side helplessly.
Lin Shijun had no hope of asking for help, so he knelt on the ground and begged: "Father-in-law, don't be so impulsive. I said, I said it all, originally this dowry was not bad, but over the years, the home has been vacated by me, and ...... I told you last time that I might want to postpone the date of marriage, but you didn't agree. β
"Hey, wasn't that some time ago, Lin Shijun was driven out by his father-in-law with a splash of ink? That's why. β
"This Qi county order is too ...... There are those who force people to marry. β
Qi Rong only felt that the voices around him were harsh, and coughed a few times: "What? Did I force you to fail? β
Lin Shijun hurriedly shook his head: "No, it was the son-in-law who was a little useful at the time, and embezzled three boxes of dowry, thinking that the time was postponed, I was saving a lot of money, and then came to the door to ask for marriage." β
Qi Rong slapped the table and scolded: "You are such a big person, do you have to be taught by others in everything?" If your dowry is not enough, then say, will I regret my marriage because of the amount of dowry? I'm marrying my daughter, and I'm not selling my daughter. But you are so good, without saying a word, you actually did such a shameful thing! β
"My son-in-law was wrong, and I asked my father-in-law to give me a chance. Although I can't make up for the three boxes of dowry for a while, I can return all the dowry, okay? β
Lin Ming's face turned green when he heard this, so he came over and pulled him and gave him a look: "You kid, what are you talking about?" The dowry that your father-in-law left for you to live with, how can you return it? β
Lin Shijun leaned his head and pushed Lin Ming's trouser leg: "Uncle Ming, don't mix it, it's my fault first." β
Lin Ming was anxious: "Lord Qi, this is all a family, why do you want to say these two words." Anyway, don't you have to give this dowry to the little couple to live? Why bother so much, besides, this church is worshipped, and the relatives are all married, so there is no knot at this time. β
Qi Rong glanced at him: "Yes, these dowries, let's take a look, we will return them and give them a life." But what is he doing with all this nonsense? Do you really think that if you worship the church, this family affair will not be yellow? β
"Someone, go and bring the young lady out."
"Uncle Ming, don't add fuel to the fire and mix blindly. Father-in-law, this is absolutely unacceptable. You don't care about the villain, forgive the son-in-law for being confused for a while, I don't want any of this dowry, and you will also pull it back to marry, you don't have to be like the son-in-law, all the mistakes are my fault, and please don't take Miss Qi away. β
When Lin Ming heard this, his face turned green, "Shijun, what are you talking about?" This...... There is no such thing. β
"Humph! I'll take them all? I'll take it all, do you still have any money to support my daughter?"
Lin Shijun nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, even if I don't have a family business, I have hands and feet, and I will never let Miss suffer a little." β
"That's it, here's coming. Pull back the dowry, bring the young lady, my Qi family is not greedy for your little family business, and the dowry will be returned in full. β
Lin Shijun knelt and chased a few steps, hugging Qi Rong's trouser leg: "Father-in-law, don't be like this, we have already ......"
"Already in the church? So what, instead of marrying someone with a lack of character like you, it is better to be a sister-in-law. β
"It's not! She is already pregnant with my flesh and blood. β
There was silence all around, and you could hear the sound of gasping for air. From time to time, the crowd exploded and began to discuss noisily, fearing that he had just misheard.
Qi Rong trembled angrily, Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, this time the money was finally saved, good boy, this trick is good at drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle.
"You...... You, you! Just when I Qi Rong didn't have such a shameful daughter, come and pull things away. As soon as the words fell, the whole person fell backwards.
Lin Shijun stretched out his hand to pick it up, but was knocked away by his subordinates and helped the master to leave.
After such a fuss, the joy on everyone's faces was a little less, and they were all worried, but the most worried was Lin Ming.
"How can you let the dowry be carried away? Do you still want to save Lin Huan? β
"I ......"
Qingmiao was so excited that she didn't sleep all night last night, and now her stomach was empty, and she was heard by the young lady and asked her to come and get the first food, she just took some food, walked back, and saw this scene. How so?
Qingmiao's heart is mixed, I don't know how to tell Miss about this, it's obviously a good thing, how can it be like this?
She entered the house, eating the same as chewing wax, and looked at Qi Jingyan worriedly from time to time.
Qi Jingyan suddenly asked, "Why was there a commotion outside just now, but what happened?" β
"It's okay, it's okay. Miss, have you eaten enough, or I'll go get some more. β
"No need, eat too much, and go to the thatched house, it's very troublesome, just take a bite, just don't be hungry."
Qi Jingyan's tone was a little low when she heard her, but she didn't want to be chattering just now, but what did you run into when she went out just now?
"What's wrong with you? Listening to the displeasure, is there some shameful oolong. β
"No...... Not really. β
Qi Jingyan heard it, this is not like her usual style of speaking, she would generally refute her, which is like today.
"You can't hide it from me, it's almost up to you to tell what's going on."?
Qingmiao told what he saw in 1510, and Qi Jingyan was stunned at that time.
In the evening, Lin Shijun returned to the house, and the candlelight flickered, prolonging the shadow of the beauty. He picked up the scale pole and walked over unhurriedly.
"Are you hungry or not, I asked someone to bring you something to eat, have you eaten?"
Why don't you speak? Lin Shijun stretched out the pole and was about to pick up the hijab. Qi Jingyan lifted her hijab, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Is that how you want to get revenge on me?"
"What's wrong? What to cry about. Lin Shijun's heart was over.
Qi Jingyan pointed at him: "You still have the face to ask me what's wrong?" Look at what good things you've done, didn't you only carry three boxes of dowry gifts before? Did my dad say anything? He is not the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich, you can take as much as you can, why do you want him to be embarrassed in public? β
"Don't cry, it's my fault. But I didn't mean to disgrace my father-in-law, you wait, I'll tell you. β
Qi Jingyan pushed him away and hid far away: "You don't pretend to be too much, Lin Shijun, do you dare to say that you didn't mean it?" You obviously know, my father is not that kind of person, he confiscated the previous dowry, but after the wedding banquet, he sent it back to you, saying that he added makeup to me. He's a good face, he's just showing outsiders, letting them see that his daughter is married to a reliable person, a person with a solid family, but why do you want to do this? β
Qi Jingyan thought of what Qingmiao said that day, and thought that her father refused to mention Qi Qiaorong, and her behavior like this undoubtedly broke the old father's heart again. The more guilty she felt, the more she hated herself for being unproductive.
"Of course I know what my father-in-law is, don't be angry yet. When this is over, I will explain it to you. β
Qi Jingyan opened his hand: "Get out of the way, are you desperate that I was kicked out of the house?" So I can do without you. β
"No, it's just that the time is not ripe now, and when the time comes, I will tell you, and you will believe me."
"You only say this to me every time, but when is the time ripe? When can you tell you? You're just lying to me, that's why you're making so many excuses. If you have any grievances, you can come to me, why do you do this to my family! β
