Seeing that Dou Lianyi didn't pursue what happened just now, Lu Shangxuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

His face was gentle, his tone softened a lot, and he coaxed in a low voice: "Lianniang, we are a family, no, I am in some trouble now, you will definitely help me, right?" ”

"What's the trouble?"

Dou Lianyi's eyes widened innocently, neither good nor bad.

"That's the case, Lianniang, you know, I just joined the Chamber of Commerce some time ago, and I want to do some business with the shopkeepers, but the existing silver taels on hand are not enough."

Speaking of this, Lu Shangxuan deliberately paused and secretly glanced at Dou Lianyi's expression.

Normally, as soon as he opened his mouth, this stupid woman would automatically give her dowry with both hands.

Dou Lianyi smiled coldly in her heart, what else could she think of as something that could make this man put down his lover sister for the time being.

Just when Lu Shangxuan thought that Dou Lianyi would immediately go back to the house to get the key to the warehouse, he heard her say in a puzzled tone: "But I don't have so many silver taels on hand?" ”

"How is this possible!"

As soon as he heard this, Lu Shangxuan immediately became anxious, and his voice rose up after him.

He clearly remembered that when Dou Lianyi got married, there were so many gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury that they dazzled his eyes, how long had it been, how could it be gone!

Dou Lianyi wanted to speak and stopped: "Although I don't have any cash, I still have some shops, but ......"

"Just what?"

Lu Shangxuan didn't feel that there was a fake, and hurriedly asked.

It doesn't matter if there is a shop, it is a shop in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he can make a lot of money in a few minutes if he sells it.

"It's just that at that time, because I was in a hurry to make up for the deficit in the house, I mortgaged it at a cheap price, which is really useless and can't help you."

Dou Lianyi lowered his eyes, his voice was mixed with a little sobbing, and he looked anxious to help his husband solve the predicament but couldn't do anything.

Seeing that Lu Shangxuan's heart tightened, he knew that Dou Lianyi had always admired him, and it was absolutely impossible to lie and deceive himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Shangxuan couldn't help but have a headache.

Before Lu Shangxuan could come up with a good way, Dou Lianyi continued to whisper: "By the way, I mortgaged all the shops to my father's friend Lin Bo, if only I had some savings in my hands now, I think they would definitely be willing to trade with me at the original price for the sake of my father's face." ”

"That's right! Lian Niang, you are right, they will definitely not dare not sell the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion," Lu Shangxuan's eyebrows suddenly relaxed, clapped his hands, and said with a smile at Dou Lianyi: "Although I don't have much cash on hand, I still have some, let's go and redeem Lian Niang's shop!" ”

After that, Lu Shangxuan turned his head and went back to the room to take out the silver ticket he had secretly hidden, and was about to call Dou Lianyi to go with him, but seeing Dou Lianyi's hesitant face, he said a little hesitantly: "I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to come forward with the redemption of the shop this time." ”

"Why?"

Lu Shangxuan was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt faintly emerged from his eyes.

However, Dou Lianyi replied naturally: "You don't know, Lin Bo asked me before if I was not doing well in the county king's mansion, otherwise how would I mortgage all the shops." ”

"What? How can this be? What did you say? ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Shangxuan suddenly panicked, his face became unnatural, and his eyes stared at Dou Lianyi without blinking.

No matter how much he was hypocritical to Dou Lianyi in the county king's mansion, he would never be able to spread it outside.

"Of course I'm telling the truth," Dou Lianyi replied with something in his words, a cold light flashed under his eyes, "You treat me well on weekdays, how could I forget?" However, it took me a lot of effort to dispel Uncle Lin's suspicions, and if you go with me to redeem the shop, I am afraid that Uncle Lin will ask you about you, and you will not be able to explain to my father. ”

Lu Shangxuan really didn't know that there was a stubble, and when he thought that if Xiangye knew that his concubine was actually selling her dowry to supplement the county palace, then he was afraid that he would not be stripped of a layer of skin.

Thinking of this, Lu Shangxuan's back sank, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly handed over the pile of silver tickets in his hand to Dou Lianyi, and said with a flattering face: "Then you still have to work hard Lianniang to go this way, I will wait for your good news in the house." ”

"We are a family, there is no need to be so polite, it is Lianniang's job to be able to share your worries and solve problems."

Dou Lianyi lowered his eyes and took the thick pile of silver tickets, his heart was already happy, and he had to be virtuous and considerate on his face.

After pretending to be with Lu Shangxuan, Dou Lianyi excused himself to be unwell, so he was able to get out and go back to the house.

Bai Zhi had already prepared sweet soup in the courtyard, and when she saw Dou Lianyi coming over with a wad of silver tickets and humming a small tune, she hurriedly greeted her and asked with concern: "Young lady, are you asking for your dowry back with the young master?" ”

"No, it's just the interest on my dowry," Dou Lianyi sat down and threw the silver ticket on the table, his eyes flashing with a little light, "After all, their Lu family owes me more than that." ”

Although Bai Zhi didn't know what was happening, she could see that the young lady's eyebrows were missing the previous sorrow.

She didn't ask more, but stood quietly and waited for Dou Lianyi to drink sweet soup.

"Young lady, the slave remembers that you used to say that eating sweets will make you feel better."

"Hmm."

Dou Lianyi pursed his lips and smiled, the rose soup in front of him was filled with osmanthus nectar, and sprinkled with mint leaves to reconcile the sweetness, and the drink made people feel refreshed.

There is no need for sweets in the future, and there will be a lot of things that can make her feel better.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Dou Lianyi was woken up by the sound of conversation coming from outside the courtyard.

"Bai Zhi, what's going on outside?"

Dou Lianyi simply got up, lifted the light veil hanging by the bed, and asked in a loud voice while putting on his shoes.

After a while, Bai Zhi hurriedly pushed the door open and ran into the house, and replied, "Young lady, the young master is in a hurry to see you outside. ”

Lu Shangxuan?

Dou Lianyi frowned slightly, and his mind was like electricity.

I came to her so early, I'm afraid it was because I didn't sleep the night after handing her the silver ticket yesterday.

Thinking of this, Dou Lianyi smiled and said slowly: "He's in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, let's talk about it after I have breakfast." ”

"Yes, young lady."

After the slave and maid with the words at the door walked away, Bai Zhi asked puzzled while dressing up Dou Lianyi: "Young lady, why did the young master get up at this hour today?" Haven't you always had to wait for the young lady to bring you breakfast? ”

Bai Zhi's words made Dou Lianyi's eyes change slightly.

In the last life, after she married into the county king's mansion, because Lu Shangxuan wanted to eat the dishes she made in the future, Dou Lianyi really did it stupidly.
