174 IOUs
Zhou Mingmu took her into his arms distressedly, and said softly: "Don't be sad, Dongxian." "Mingmu, I hope that one day if you have something to hide from me, it is best to hide it from me for the rest of your life, and don't let me know." Lin Dongxian spit out word by word, as if a thin embroidery needle was inserted into Zhou Mingmu's heart. It took a while to come to his senses, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything, as if a rag was stuffed in his throat, which made him uncomfortable, and tears almost flowed down.
Lin Dongxian was still immersed in the conspiracy of Hua Rui and Miao's mother and daughter, and she also retreated. She hates the feeling of being deceived the most, if she has the ability, she will cheat for a lifetime, or she will be honest. Once a person lies, he needs to use countless lies to prove the lie.
The Miao family, who was following behind Lin Xuan, sighed, turned around and hurriedly looked at the closed door, she thought that it would take a little more words to get Lin Dongxian to take out the one thousand taels of silver tickets. To her surprise, Lin Dongxian gave it so refreshingly, thanks to Lin Xuan's appearance. At this moment, she suddenly felt a little remorseful, why didn't she ask for more, two thousand taels or three thousand taels, it seems that Lin Dongxian has a lot of money in her hands.
A thousand silver tickets can be taken out when you turn around, it seems that in the future, you will have to let Hua Rui walk around with Lin Dongxian more, and when the time comes, when the child is born, it is indispensable to get some treasures, so thinking about it, Miao suddenly became much more enlightened. Lin Xuan didn't bring anyone because he was afraid of the stamen and the child in his womb, and even the Miao family asked him to urge him to go back and wait for him to bring the mother and son of the stamen safely. If it angered them, it would be detrimental to the mother and son of the flower stamen, he didn't dare to think about it.
became a showman, but he was still timid in doing things, and suddenly he was a little disgusted with himself. The three masked men took Lin Xuan's one thousand taels of silver tickets, exchanged glances with each other, loosened their stamens, and then disappeared from Lin Xuan's sight. Hua Rui breathed a sigh of relief, her whole body was weak, and she was about to fall down, but she was caught by Lin Xuan in time. Wu anxiously looked around the door a few times, but before he saw Lin Xuan and Hua Rui, Miao said that they would come back later, and almost an hour had passed.
Miao sat silently, she had to close the door, and was just about to close the door, when she saw Lin Xuan rushing in with Hua Rui holding the stamen: "Mother, don't close the door, go and ask the doctor to come over, Rui'er fainted." "If you hurt the child in your womb, no one wants to see this scene." Don't, Xianggong, I'm fine, it's okay to rest, don't go to the doctor. "It's enough for Blossom to pretend to be unconscious just now, it's time to wake up.
Lin Xuan's face was overjoyed, and he said excitedly: "Rui'er, you're awake, it's great, I'll take you back to the house to rest." "Then please don't invite a doctor!" Before Wu finished speaking, Lin Xuan ran into the house with the stamen in his arms like the wind. Miao put her hands on her lap, fragrant rice and meals had already been placed on the table, and her saliva was about to flow down, but unfortunately Lin Zhiping and Wu had to wait for Lin Xuan and them to come back before they were willing to eat, so she had to hold back.
Lin Xuan carefully put Hua Rui on the bed, as if he could accidentally bump her into it, "Hua Rui, from now on, you will stay at home and not go anywhere, do you hear?" "Okay, I know, I'm worried about you this time, I'm sorry I spent you a thousand taels of silver." A hint of guilt flashed in Blossom's eyes, and her lips pursed.
"What nonsense are you talking nonsense, we are husband and wife, we don't need to say I'm sorry, you are still pregnant, be careful of the child. Lie down and rest, don't move, whatever you want to eat, I'll prepare it for you. Lin Xuan's gentle words instantly calmed down Hua Rui, relaxed her body and let him help her lie down, Lin Xuan helped her tuck the quilt, turned around and went to the kitchen. ran into Miao running over at the door, "How is it, is Rui'er injured?" ”
Miao was panting and panting on the door frame, Lin Xuan smiled lightly: "Mother, don't worry, I will bring Rui'er back safely, she just lay down and rested, I will go to the kitchen to stew some soup for her." "You go into the house and accompany her, let me stew soup for her, don't be stunned, come into the house and accompany Rui'er, let me go." When Miao heard this, with a look of surprise on his face, Hua Rui came back safely, which means that he has a thousand taels of silver tickets in hand, and he can send Liu Xing away.
It's exciting to think about, of course Miao wants to thank Lin Xuan, a great benefactor, how can Xiucai go to the kitchen, it should be her who wants to go. The corners of Lin Xuan's mouth smiled at the back of the Miao family leaving in a hurry, he didn't have time to enter the house, and he was pulled by someone from behind: "Xuan'er, come over and tell us clearly, what's going on?" Why did Hua Rui faint in a good way, do you want to ask the doctor to come back and take a look at her, you said that if something goes wrong, it will not be good. ”
Wu said worriedly, Lin Xuan had a quiet smile on his face: "Mother, no need, Rui'er is fine, you just put your heart in your belly, and wait for Rui'er to give birth to a big fat grandson for you." By the way, mother, I still have something to do in my private school, so I won't accompany you, Rui'er's mother and son will ask you, tell Rui'er and her mother for me, I'll go. ”
Hua Rui is safe and sound, and he still remembers Chanda, who was knocked unconscious by Zhou, and Zhou doesn't know if he took him back. If the Master found out, he might have to blame him. When Wu heard this, he hurriedly urged: "Since you still have something to do with your private school, then you can go back quickly, and the family will be handed over to me." Go ahead, remember to come back and tell us something, and don't let me and your father worry about you.
There is also a private school that inevitably requires money, and last time you left in a hurry, your father and I didn't have time to give it to you. Come, take it. Suddenly thinking of something, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Xuan, and his heart was filled in an instant. Lin Xuan has become a showman, and it is indispensable to socialize in private schools, go out to eat with classmates and friends, always spend money, and buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc.
Zhao accused the couple of giving all the family's money to Lin Dongxian as a dowry, how could it be? She still has Lian'er, I don't know when I will be able to see her again? Lin Dongxian didn't want a penny of the money earned by the embroidery hall, and handed it over to the Wu family before she got married, so that she must accept it.
This money is reserved for Lin Xuan, he wants to enter the office, and there are too many places to spend money. To outsiders, it seems that Lin Dongxian has thirty dowries, but in fact, it is just for show, and it would be good to really have fifteen. These are all requested by Lin Dongxian, she is married to a girl's family, and she can't take too much money from the family. Besides, Mrs. Zhou, Lin He, Lin Zhimiao and others added a lot of makeup to her.
Therefore, many of the more than 20 dowries sent by Zhou Mingmu were left by the Wu family and placed in the treasury, and they were left to Lin Xuan and Lin Lian in the future. Lin Xuan said hoarsely after a while: "Mother, I can't ask for this money, you take it back quickly." Rui'er is raising the baby at home, and she has spent enough money, and I can't ask for your money anymore. Besides, Dong Xian has just gotten married, and I'm afraid that there is not much money at home, so you should keep it. Life doesn't have to be so tight, I can't ask for it! ”
As a son, he is a little ashamed of Lin Zhiping and Wu, and after winning the show, they still have the same hard work of getting up early and bringing in late. In the past, he always thought that he would go to a private school like Chanda, and only by taking the exam could he help reduce the burden on his family. At the moment, he doesn't feel that it is very easy, the Wu family is still worried about the students of the embroidery hall, and Lin Zhiping is not idle, and he has to cook for the girls at noon.
Thanks to Miao's coming over to take care of Hua Rui, otherwise he really didn't know what to be busy with. Lin Dongxian is married again, and he can't accompany the Wu family at home all the time, he is full of guilt at the moment, and he can't wait to find a hole to get into. I didn't earn a penny for my family, but I spent a lot of money. Wu squinted: "What nonsense are you talking about, why can't you ask for it."
Dong Xian's dowry is not much in the family, and the one in the belly of the flower is my grandson, and I am willing to spend money. You just take it, you don't have anything at home, you have money, you don't have too many scruples, we have to spend the money on you, take it quickly. Let's not talk about the private school, let's go! The kind-looking Wu family made Lin Xuan unable to help but throw himself into her arms anymore, "Mother." He called out cordially, full of guilt and gratitude to the Wu family.
Lin Zhiping didn't see Wu and Miao and others coming over for a long time, he couldn't sit still and stood up to look for it, and saw Lin Xuan in Wu's arms from a distance, like a child, he couldn't help but stop, stood quietly, and looked at their mother and son affectionately. Lin Xuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked up at the sky, and then regained his good mood, and said indifferently: "Mother, it's not too early, I should go, and when I'm free, I'll come back to see you." ”
With a light smile on the corner of Wu's mouth, he sent Lin Xuan to the door. With a bang, the door closed, Lin Xuan didn't take a step to go to the private school, and unknowingly knocked on the door of Lin Dongxian's house. Lin Dongxian shook Liu Chan's hand lightly: "Chan'er, what do you still care about them, they are going to sell you?" ”
"Dong Xian, they sold me, I won't forgive them. But after all, they are my relatives, and if something happens to them, I will also be uncomfortable. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't help but bend his knees and hug his legs, nest to the side and cry. The strings that have been tight for the past two days can no longer be stretched and relaxed, and in front of Lin Dongxian, Liu Chan cried sadly. Lin Dongxian didn't squeak, let Liu Chan vent.
If the resentment in your heart is kept in your heart, it is easy to get sick after a long time. Cry out, vent out, it's much better. Lin Dongxian looked at her quietly, "Dongxian, you come out, the eldest brother has something to do with you." Zhou Mingmu's warm voice sounded outside the door, Lin Dongxian heard this, and jumped off the bed suddenly, she patronized to comfort Liu Chan, and forgot about Lin Xuan.
Liu Chan wiped her tears with her sleeve and said again and again: "Dong Xian, you go quickly, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while." He waved his hand and motioned for Lin Dongxian to go out to see Lin Xuan. Dong Xian, I'm sorry for the trouble, I'll bring your sister-in-law back safely. This is an IOU, you have collected it, and I will pay it back to you when I have the money. Lin Xuan took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to her, Zhou Mingmu sat on the side, frowning, when did Lin Xuan see them like this.
Of course, he can't say anything, let Lin Dongxian decide! Lin Dongxian lowered her head slightly, raised her head and said, "Big brother, I don't want this IOU, I want you to fulfill one of my wishes." Lin Xuan's body shook, he didn't expect her to open her mouth to make this request. Big brother, how about a thousand taels of silver in exchange for a wish for me? Lin Dongxian reminded again, Lin Xuan didn't say anything, of course she wanted to ask.
"Okay, I promise." Lin Xuan's voice was low and hoarse, Lin Dongxian's kindness to him, he would remember it in his heart for the rest of his life, and he would never forget it. If the IOU is directly torn up, Lin Xuan will not be able to come to the stage in front of Zhou Mingmu and lose the face of the literati. In the future, when Lin Xuan faced Zhou Mingmu again, he would always feel a little uncomfortable. If you really want Lin Xuan to pay back the 1,000 taels of silver tickets, I don't know when I will pay it off.
In addition, she is not short of money, and for her, money is far less important than family affection. Burdened with debts, like a big mountain pressing on Lin Xuan's heart, he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't go all out to deal with the next meeting and palace tests. Miao walked in with fragrant hen soup, she had just drunk a big bowl in the kitchen, it was really delicious.
Hua Rui can't be scared of her, she has to make up for her body. Miao put down the hen soup on the table, walked over and called softly: "Rui'er, Rui'er, wake up, wake up." Hua Rui immediately opened her eyes, "Mother, I didn't fall asleep at all." Don't talk, I want to be alone, you go out quickly! ”
Stretching out her hand to push Miao out, she was a little unhappy, and immediately pulled down her face: "Rui'er, what are you doing, aren't you happy?" One thousand taels of silver is in hand, don't say it, Lin Xuan and Lin Dongxian are really stupid, they are happy to be deceived by us in vain! Rui'er, I really regret not asking for more. "The more I think about Miao, the more annoyed I get, how good is two thousand taels! Hua Rui pulled up the futon, turned her back to Miao, and ignored her.
Because at this moment, she suddenly felt a little disgusted with the Miao family in front of her, and she was insatiable, Liu Xing only needed five hundred taels of silver, but she wanted one thousand taels of silver. She originally disagreed, but Miao insisted on pulling down her face, if she didn't listen to her, she didn't know when she would be able to raise money and send Liu Xing away. After sending Liu Xing away, she decided to let Miao go back and didn't need her to stay in the town to take care of her.
It's not so much about taking care of her, it's better to let the Miao town come up and enjoy it. It doesn't cost money to eat and wear, and he takes the ten taels of silver given by the Wu family for nothing, why? Wu never gave her a penny, and she didn't let her be in charge, so she became pregnant. When will it be her turn to take care of the family's money, this is the most concerned thing for Hua Rui at the moment. Even if Miao has more money, he will not leave it to her, and he will bring it back to his two brothers.
"Rui'er, I'll talk to you again, what's wrong with you? Are those people disobedient and doing something to you? Miao stepped forward suspiciously and was about to check up and down, but was slapped on the back of his hand by Hua Rui, and his face was calm: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about, how can they be?" I just have a headache and don't want to talk, so you go out and let me be alone. "Headache," does my stomach hurt, do you want me to ask you for a doctor, you child, be careful of the child, otherwise the child is gone, and I will go home." Miao sighed with some pity, she really wanted to stay forever.
How nice it is to eat and drink for nothing and have money! If you don't talk about the seriousness, the stamen is not light or heavy, in case it really loses the child, it will be bad. Hua Rui glanced at Miao faintly, and kissed her red lips: "Mother, you said, if the child is really gone, will Lin Xuan still be so good to me?" ”
The implication is that Lin Xuan's kindness to her is all because of the child in her womb. Once the child is gone, nothing is gone. "Bah, Bah, Rui'er, don't say anything unlucky. The child is good to stay in your belly, and you are not allowed to mess around. Miao told her not to think about the careful thinking that she shouldn't have.
