With all the memories of this body, Lin Zhen also has a general understanding of secular customs.

Marriage in this era may not be free, but it is far more formal and solemn than in modern times.

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the woman who had been sitting beside her, silent. The woman was wearing a purple brocade back and a purple scarf on her head, and she had never said a word, but Lin Zhen knew that this woman must be the official media brought by the Bai family's mother. An ordinary matchmaker can't be purple.

Lin Zhen guessed correctly, this woman in purple is really the official media, and it is precisely the Shen matchmaker who agreed for the Bai and Lin families three years ago.

Although she got the money, she felt in her heart that the Bai family had gone too far. She can't offend people in this business, so although she came along, she was not in a hurry to open up. It's just that now that Lin Zhen has named her name, it's not good for her to be silent anymore.

Shi Shiran got up, and Mrs. Shen said in a gentle voice: "Since ancient times, marriage is to marry two families, to be harmonious, and to love each other. ”

Mrs. Shen's words were extremely neutral, although the Bai family's mother's face was still blue, but Chen couldn't help but nod.

Lowering her eyes, she looked at her with a handkerchief, but when she raised it, she whispered: "The matter has come to this, what else do I have to say?" It's fate...... Such as jade! ”

She screamed, and looked out of the shed.

If she felt something, Lin Zhen also followed her gaze and looked out. I saw a young woman standing outside the mourning shed, only about twenty years old. Although he is wearing plain white clothes and white flowers on his head, his eyebrows are like washing, and his red lips are plump, which is more pitiful than Chen's haggardness.

knew that this was the concubine of the Lin family, the biological mother of the original owner's six-year-old brother, and Mrs. Ru, who had registered her name in the official mansion seriously, but Lin Zhen looked at the young woman, but she snorted from her nose.

Chen's voice just now was not small, but this Ruyu didn't rush over until this moment, and he didn't know what he was doing in the room.

Although she was dissatisfied, she would not show it in front of outsiders, Lin Zhen's eyes softened, she looked at Ruyu, and called "Auntie" in a low voice.

Ruyu answered, because of Lin Zhen's gentleness, she didn't feel any difference between the eldest sister, just looked at Chen, and said in a low voice: "Sister,"

Chen glanced at her, and only asked in a harmonious voice, "Brother Jing is better?" "In the past few days, Brother Jing'er has been unwell, and when he sent the coffin this morning, he fainted, and he was carried back, compared to Lin Zhenniang, who suddenly changed after returning home, and couldn't hold on to the fall after hearing the evil.

The Lin family is up and down, and now there is only this underage male, and the Chen family is naturally very concerned.

"It's already much better, I think it's because I've been working hard these days......" Ruyu whispered, raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, obviously her face was ruddy, but it seemed like she would fall down anytime and anywhere.

Seeing that Chen's gaze at Ruyu was still extremely gentle, and he didn't seem to have any suspicion of resentment, Lin Zhen was secretly angry and hateful in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face. It's just that Chen's next sentence made her unable to laugh anymore.

"Ruyu, go to my room and take out the gold-painted box in my cabinet!"

"Sister?"

"Mother!"

Chen's words made Lin Zhen and Ruyu exclaim at the same time.

Glancing at Ruyu, Lin Zhen said in a deep voice: "Mother, what are you doing with that box?!" We have a small family and a small business, so we don't need to make people laugh at it......"

Ruyu was beside her, and she was also helpful: "Lady, the concubine was vaguely listening to what the Bai family's mother said just now, but she didn't hear it clearly, what happened before?" ”

When she spoke, she glanced at the Bai family's mother, but the Bai family's mother sneered and didn't answer the words at all. She can be sent to the Lin family to talk about this, and she is naturally a shrewd person who is highly valued in the Bai family. Of course, I can hear that Chen's asking Ruyu to take the box, most of which is to repay the gift money of 'Xiaoding' back then, although she did convey the meaning of the housewife and the eldest man before that she didn't want that money, but if Chen wanted to pay it back, why wouldn't she do it. Exactly, watch a joke.

Looking at the Bai family's mother's face, Lin Zhen's heart was on fire, especially the Chen family's iron-hearted appearance urged Ruyu to get something, which made her unable to suppress her anger, and said directly: "Mother, just now this mother said all the good things, you should always listen to a sentence or two?" Since Uncle Bai and his family are so kind, why do you bother to brush off their good intentions? Besides, if you don't receive their affection, you will make people say that they are not. ”

As soon as Lin Zhen said this, the mother of the Bai family, who wanted to see the excitement, was still watching from the sidelines, so she had to smile and say: "Mrs. Chen, what your little lady said is exact." My eldest man and lady have a lot of kindness, you still got it! I think there are still many places for your Lin family to use money in the future! Without the pillars and the lack of income, you still have to grab this little savings in your hand......"

Chen pursed his lips, and his complexion, which was already a little heavy, was even more sunken. "Ruyu, do you want me to get it myself?"

Hearing Chen's tone, he was indeed annoyed, and Ruyu couldn't delay it any longer, so he had to turn around and go to the main room, muttering to himself: "Pity our Brother Jing......"

"Mother......" Lin Zhen took a step forward and wanted to speak again, but Chen had already turned his head.

Looking at Lin Zhen, Chen said in a deep voice: "Zhen Niang, people can not be arrogant, but they can't not even have the slightest backbone. I, a member of the Lin family, a scholarly disciple, how can I lose my character for just a little money? What would your father say if he was alive? Even if you are a lonely widow, you can't fall into the Lin family's reputation......"

"Can Feng Gu be eaten as food? Can it be worn as clothing? In her heart, Lin Zhen looked at Chen's cold face, but didn't say that.

Seeing Ruyu walking over with the gold-painted vermilion lacquer box step by step, Lin Zhen raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, and reached out to pick it up.

"Eldest sister...... Ruyu blinked, her hand was hugged very tightly, but Lin Zhen didn't take it.

"Auntie," tilting her head slightly, Lin Zhen looked at the young woman who was half a head taller than herself, and said with a smile: "This family, my mother is still in charge of ......"

Although she disagreed, at this moment, she could only defend it.

Ruyu pursed her lips and didn't insist any longer. Lin Zhen took the box and held it respectfully in Chen's arms. "Mother, do you want to see if it's this one?"

Chen nodded, his gaze swept over Lin Zhen's face, showing great pity. But in the end, he didn't say anything, just untied the key on the placket and slowly opened the box.

With a peek, Lin Zhen only felt that her eyes were slight. She naturally knew that this box was for the Chen family to put money and valuable jewelry, but Lin Zhenniang didn't pay much attention to it in the past. And Lin Zhen is in modern times, naturally she can't say that she is rich, and when she sees the glittering gold in the box all of a sudden, she naturally can't stop pounding.

"Mother......" Seeing that Chen took out the small gold ingot placed on the upper layer, and took one ingot after another, it seemed that it was really about to be hollowed out, Lin Zhen felt pain.

Finally, Chen pulled his hand out. But the top layer of the box was basically empty. Lin Zhen glanced at it, and there were exactly ten gold ingots on the table.

In this way, it is ten taels of gold, if calculated according to the market price, it is about one hundred taels of silver, equivalent to 100,000 yuan, according to the current standard of living, such a small gift is indeed a lot. It can be seen that the Bai family was still sincere when they decided to be this family.

It's a pity that the providence makes people, that year the spirit was sent to Beijing for the spring test, a heart of high school jinshi, the glorious lintel of the Lin father fell into the first place, returned to Dingtao has been depressed, and finally lingered on the sickbed for half a year, in the end or let go, leaving only a lonely widow. The good family affairs that were originally in the eyes of the Bai family naturally became a drag, so they had such a move to come to the door today.

"Mrs. Chen, don't be reluctant - it's not ......wise to slap a swollen face and become fat, but it's not wise" The Bai family's mother looked at Chen with a smile, but her eyes were aimed at the gold ingots on the table from time to time.

Lin Zhen raised her eyebrows, seeing that Chen's face was pale, and there were faint tears in her eyes, she couldn't help but be angry in her heart.

"Mom, we don't have to worry about our family! Although my mother is enthusiastic, even though my family has gold and silver, I don't dare to show it to outsiders like my mother...... Not all the people in this world are benevolent and gentlemen! ”

"Little lady of the Lin family, you ......" The mother of the Bai family was angry and wanted to speak again, but Lin Zhen had already grabbed the gold ingot on the table and threw it directly.

"Mom, you've got your money! If you lose one or two ingots, be careful that your master hits you......"

was smashed squarely, but the Bai family's mother refused to dodge too much, but opened her hands and shook from side to side to pick up the gold ingots that Lin Zhen deliberately smashed over.

"Zhenniang, cough, cough, cough ......" Chen waved his hand, trying to persuade Lin Zhen, but he coughed violently and couldn't speak.

The mother of the Bai family fell down in embarrassment and picked up the gold ingot at her feet, "Little lady! You may be young, but you need to know what to do! If an act like yours spreads out and ruins your reputation, you will know that you are suffering......"

Lin Zhen raised her head, "What if it gets out?" I was about to let people know that even if there were only orphans and widows left in my Lin family, it was not bullied by others......"

When Mrs. Shen, who was about to speak, heard this, she couldn't help but look Lin Zhen up and down, not only did she not speak, but lowered her eyes and took a step back.

After losing the gold ingot, Lin Zhen picked up the four gift boxes on the table again, looked at the Bai family's mother, and sneered: "In this world, who doesn't gossip? Who doesn't gossip? The mouth is all on other people's faces, and I, Lin Zhenniang, can't care what others say, but I can decide what I do! ”

"Slap" threw the thing at the feet of the Bai family's mother, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Mom, let's bring this snack back to your Xiaolang to eat!" My brother can't afford to eat such a precious ......."

The mother of the Bai family was angry and hateful, grabbed the gift box, grabbed the gold ingot in her back, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute! Where is my Geng paste and marriage letter? ”

The mother of the Bai family turned her head, pouted and didn't speak, but the Shen matchmaker had already smiled and took out a sticker from the package beside her, and stepped forward with a smile and handed it to Lin Zhen.

Looking at the smile on Mrs. Shen's face, Lin Zhen also smiled.

is the so-called stretching out her hand and not smiling face, since this Shen matchmaker looks kind, why does she bother to provoke people's resentment?

"Now, Little Lady Lin has nothing else to do, right?" The mother of the Bai family snorted coldly, her face stretched.

Glancing at her face, Lin Zhen just smiled, turned around and took the sticker box from the table, "If Mom doesn't get back the Geng sticker and the marriage book, how will your Xiaolang find a good mate again?!" ”

Smiling, she watched the Bai family's mother turn back, reach out to pick up the sticker box, and the corners of her mouth turned even higher. At the moment when the Bai family's mother stretched out her hand, her hand was raised, and the sticker box fell far away.

"You ......" The Bai family's mother was so angry that her face turned blue, and even her hands trembled.

Lin Zhen just smiled and said lightly: "The family is in mourning, and it is inconvenient to keep more guests-Mother Shen invited ......" said politely, but did not mention the Bai family's mother. She was so angry that she almost fell to her knees, turned sharply and ran out of the house.

Mrs. Shen squinted, looked at Lin Zhen, smiled and saluted Chen, turned around and walked out slowly......
