CHAPTER XVII

Shang Mingyuan didn't expect Lin Qingwan to be in Lin Jiang's room, so he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, the ancestor's letter involved the arrangement of the Lin family's property, and Lin Qingwan is also a girl of the Lin family, so she and Yubin should be relative in terms of interests now, right?

Shang Mingyuan went to see Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang leaned on the couch, couldn't help coughing a few times, looked at Shang Mingyuan and said, "What about the old lady's letter?" ”

Shang Mingyuan could only take it out of his arms and believe in it.

Lin Jiang had already seen it once in the Sky Mirror, but he still solemnly opened the envelope. His face was a little complicated, this letter was no different from what he saw in the Sky Speculator, even the words and sentences and tone were the same, which showed the power of the Sky Speculator Mirror's deduction function.

He slowly clenched his fingers before handing the letter to Lin Qingwan.

Shang Mingyuan, who was sitting on the side, widened his eyes and almost couldn't help jumping up, how could this letter be shown to Lin Qingwan?

He had read the letter.

Mrs. Shang became busy after hearing that Lin Jiang was going to sell her business, and in her opinion, the greatest value of Lin's industries was still in production.

Although she can get a large amount of silver by selling, if she doesn't sell it, she can get a very rich income every year, so she feels that Lin Jiang should not be so reckless and sell all her properties.

If Lin Jiang is not worried about the Lin clan, he can hand over the property to the Shang family, she is Yubin's maternal grandmother, and she will not treat Yubin badly.

She has long wanted to kiss the two families, Yubin is weak, sexually sensitive, and when she arrives at someone else's house, she must be sad if she has no brother to support her, so it is better to marry into the Shang family.

With her watching, her in-laws are uncles and aunts, only closer. What's more, Yubin and Mingjie are still childhood sweethearts, the two have played together since childhood, and their relationship is very good.

The idea of being a relative was there when Yubin came to Shang's house, and it was only implemented at this time. So Mrs. Shang quickly found Mrs. Shang, after all, it was her son, and she always had to ask her.

But Second Mrs. Shang didn't seem to be very satisfied with this marriage, so she hesitated and didn't give an accurate word, and Shang Mingyuan was delayed for two days.

However, before he went out, Second Lady Shang had already figured it out, and the old lady handed him this jade ruyi.

And although they didn't say it explicitly, Shang Mingyuan knew it in his heart, and the reason why Mrs. Shang agreed was because of the Lin family's huge inheritance.

The Lin family's property will be Lin Yubin's dowry, which will be handed over to the Shang family before she enters the door, and the Shang family will keep it.

Mrs. Shang said this in the letter, she may really love her granddaughter, the letter is all about Yubin's love and arrangement, she said that after Lin Jiang died, she would take Yubin to the Shang family to raise her personally, and when Yubin reached the age of sixteen, Shang Mingjie could get married.

The relationship is very rich, but they seem to have forgotten that there is another person in the Lin family - Lin Qingwan, if Lin Jiang gives all the property of the Lin family to Lin Yubin and hands it over to the Shang family for safekeeping, then what should Lin Qingwan do?

Shang Mingyuan's forehead was a little sweaty, before he came, they really forgot about Lin Qingwan, because she seemed to be married, although she had returned to the sect again.

But the mistake had been made, and Shang Mingyuan could only try his best to exonerate the old ancestor, but before he could speak, Lin Qingwan folded the letter and looked at him and asked, "You brought Mingjie's birthday?" ”

Shang Mingyuan blinked, held the box and said, "Grandmother asked me to bring this jade Ruyi, this is one of the dowries of the ancestors, and it is to be passed on to the future second brother and sister." ”

Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes, it seems that the Shang family is not very sincere about this family business.

Lin Qingwan kept observing Lin Jiang's expression from the corner of his eyes, and seeing that although his face was gloomy, he didn't say no, so he raised his head and smiled at Shang Mingyuan: "The nephew doesn't know that the silver sold by the Lin family is going to be handed over to the treasury, and the elder brother has already handed over the fold to His Majesty, and it is estimated that it has been placed on His Majesty's desk at this time." Otherwise, it would be nothing to hand over the property to the Shang family, after all, our two families are not only world friends, but also in-laws. The old lady is Yubin's grandmother, and my brother and I can still trust this. ”

Shang Mingyuan opened his mouth wide, and only after half a sound did he find his voice, "Give, give it to the treasury?" Why, my uncle committed a crime? ”

Lin Qingwan didn't answer, but said: "It's better for the nephew to ask the old lady again, she is still willing to marry this family business." ”

Without these possessions, would you still be willing to marry your two children?

Shang Mingyuan opened his mouth, and it was best to hold the jade Ruyi and retreat.

Lin Qingwan put the letter on the table, climbed onto the couch and sat cross-legged opposite Lin Jiang, looked at his face and asked, "Do you want to marry this family?" ”

Lin Jiang raised his eyes and stared at Lin Qingwan's eyes, revealing that "no matter what happened to Second Lady Shang and the Zhao family, the old lady and Shang Mingjie are indeed very good to Yubin, Yubin," he pondered, "She is very similar to Sister Wan." ”

Lin Qingwan's mind flashed the look of Sister Wan'er on the day she got married, for Xie Yiming's sake, she didn't even want her life.

Lin Qingwan couldn't help frowning, and hesitated: "But they are cousins." ”

Lin Jiang looked at Lin Qingwan puzzled, what does it matter?

"In our country, cousins are not allowed to marry, because the blood relationship is too close, and the children born after the union will have a high possibility of the onset of invisible diseases, and there may be deformed children."

Lin Jiang frowned slightly, and said: "In my Daliang, there are many cousins who are married, especially between the clans, and I haven't seen any deformed children in the family." ”

Lin Qingwan was about to explain in detail, when she heard Lin Jiang say: "My grandfather and grandmother are cousins, and the two of them have a deep relationship, while my uncle and father are not only healthy, but also intelligent. Before the Gengwu Change, even Shang Lao Guogong was inferior to my uncle and father. ”

Lin Qingwan opened her mouth, but in the end she had no choice but to close it, okay, even in her era, there were actually many cousins who married. She knew that it would be difficult to convince Lin Jiang, so she could only start from other aspects.

"Second Mrs. Shang is Shang Mingjie's mother, she doesn't like Yubin, what good life can Yubin have when she marries? You've figured it out. ”

Lin Jiang sighed, "I don't know, but first, their feelings are there, after Sister Wan'er's matter, I understand that some things can't be changed by force, and second, Shang Mingjie is a person......

Lin Jiang paused and said, "When you see Shang Mingjie, you will understand." ”

understands why he hesitates knowing that the Shang family is not a good match.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "Anyway, you can do it, if you can stop them, stop them, if you can't stop them, please arrange one or two more for Yubin." ”

Lin Qingwan couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, "She's your daughter, and the marriage is so casual?" ”

Lin Jiang looked at her, what could he do?

He is also very helpless, the two girls in his family are both affectionate people, if the person they fall in love with is not good, he still has an excuse to stop it.

But whether it is Xie Yiming or Shang Mingjie, they are very good, but the bad thing is the family behind them, not to mention Sister Wan'er's marriage, it was set by him.

Yubin, that kid is as tough as Sister Wan'er, if he is a person who succumbs easily, the result deduced in the peeping mirror will not be bad like that.

In the final analysis, he raised the children wrongly, failed to make them bend and stretch, and the bones were too hard and arrogant, but they were easy to break.

Lin Jiang looked at Lin Qingwan's headache, and couldn't help but close his eyes apologetically.

Lin Qingwan grinded her teeth, and finally returned to the topic: "Should I take my sister-in-law's dowry, or will I give it to the Shang family for safekeeping?" ”

Lin Jiang opened his eyes at this time, "I want to hand it over to you, but I'm afraid that the Shang family won't be at ease." ”

"So?"

"So I will fight with the old lady, take care of the dowry for you, the old lady can send someone to check the accounts every year, if the loss exceeds the average value of previous years for three consecutive years, the old lady can recover the business, and then the income of the dowry will be all to the old lady to do hardship, and then Yubin will get married."

Lin Qingwan pursed her lips and said, "You really trust my business ability, I haven't done business." ”

Lin Jiang said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, if you lose, you will lose, the Lin family has a lot of collections, just sell those two of you aunts and nephews can live a good life for a few lifetimes." ”

"Aren't you afraid that you will lose your family business, so you can't go to see the ancestors of the Lin family?"

"If everyone is gone, what does it matter if the family business is not there?" Lin Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at the letter on the table: "These things are dead things, and the meaning of existence is for people." ”

Lin Qingwan saw that he was sad, so she opened the topic and said, "Tell me what kind of person Mrs. Shang is, when you return to Suzhou, you will have to deal with her." ”

Lin Jiang's perception of this mother-in-law is much more complicated, she really loves Yubin, but she loves the Shang family even more.

When Lin Jiang and Lin Qingwan talked about Mrs. Shang, the emperor who was far away in Kaifeng received Lin Jiang's excerpt.

He stood up from his chair in shock, his brows furrowed, "Lin Jiang is seriously ill? Isn't he already well? ”

There was silence in the study, and no one could answer his words.

The emperor walked around twice with a calm face, turned around and ordered, "Xuan Si Shangshu." ”

Gonggong Liu immediately bowed down and ordered the attendants waiting outside the hall to hurry up and call someone in the Qinzheng Palace.

At this time, the four Shangshu were all handling official business in the Qinzheng Palace, and they were called a quasi-child.

The left minister was demoted and released not long ago because of the lack of military rations, and the right minister has not been elected since he was deposed two years ago due to the Great Chu War, so now the biggest officials in the court are the six Shangshu.

Now the two prime ministers' work is divided by the emperor, and the rest is in charge of the six Shangshu, who take turns on duty, with four Shangshu each time.

On duty today are the four books of the Gonghu Punishment Rites, and as soon as the emperor arrives, he will show them Lin Jiang's secret folds.

"The four Aiqing have received news from Haoyu recently?"

Lin Jiang's word Haoyu, this word was still given by the emperor.

The four Shangshu looked at each other, and finally the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites muttered: "Three months ago, I heard that Xie Shilang's second son died young, Lord Lin and Xie Shilang had a conflict, and they smashed each other's heads. ”

The emperor frowned, looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu unhappily and said, "Haoyu disdains to do this kind of pretending to be sick. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu bowed his head, "What Your Majesty said is that the minister is stingy." ”

Hube Shangshu looked at the secret fold repeatedly, and finally sighed: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin is only afraid that he is really sick, otherwise he would not have even arranged the inheritance." The task of raising military rations for Jiangnan was the first to be completed, and at that time, Lord Lin was afraid that he would be seriously ill, but he did not fold it until the grain and grass arrived at the border pass. ”

The emperor was also a little sad when he heard this, and bowed his back and said: "Haoyu has always been arrogant, but this time he couldn't help but show weakness. ”

This fold is very tear-jerking, the relationship between the head of the household department and the Ministry of Industry and Lin Zhi is very good, at this time, they can't help but have tears in their eyes, and they bow their heads and don't speak.
