Accumulate Wealth in Life

Shuzi High Gate (15)

Lin Fanghua squinted to look at Lin Yutong, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old lady, "Okay. There are so many serious things waiting to be done, how can I have time to grind my teeth. We should discuss the dowry of the two girls... This is The Duke's Mansion will send a matchmaker to the door in the next two days..." As he said that, he glanced at Yun Shi, "This matter is all you need to entertain. The dowry for the two girls, this matter..."

"Old lady..." Lin Changgen suddenly said, "The second girl's dowry has already been handed over to Lin Fulin, so you don't have to worry about it."

Lin Fanghua immediately raised his head and glanced at Lin Changgen, and then looked at the old lady aggrieved, what does this mean. The old lady clearly said that the dowry of the two girls will become the second girl alone when she arrives with her brother. Is this not prepared for Duoer at all?

Yun Shi's heart suddenly calmed down. The second girl is a direct daughter, and a dowry should also be given. But if the niece is also given a dowry, then this matter will be difficult for her. Even Concubine Zhao, who was waiting on the side, didn't say a word. What the family wants to leave to their son, spend less, and keep more at home. Why should you bear the burden of the girl from the Qi family? The Qi family still has uncles. There is no reason to rely on uncle for everything.

When the old lady choked, her face was a little ugly. She looked at the expressions of everyone in the room, and felt even more suffocated in her heart, so she could only say: "Then I will leave my whole life to Duo'er... Your sister, orphan, widowed mother, there is no one to rely on..."

Lin Changgen glanced at the old lady: "When an accident happened at my uncle's house, you put all your dowry in it, and also paid 20,000 taels of silver from the family." As he spoke, he looked at Concubine Zhao, who was shrinking to the side. "Cousin lost all the things you gave in the end, and almost lost my cousin, or our family spent 3,000 taels of silver to settle the matter. Which of the things in your hand are you? The private property." It's almost like saying that the things in the hands of the old lady were all deducted from the public.

"You bastard!" The old lady was shaken out of her foundation, and her face suddenly became unbearable, "I gave birth to you once, but you settled the account with me one by one. I gave birth to you once, How much money do you have to give me? I raised you once, how much money do you have to give me? You give me a careful calculation, and we will talk when you understand it."

This is unreasonable and insists on subsidizing Lin Fanghua.

Lin Changgen was choked up all of a sudden, how could he go on talking about this? Going further, it would be really unfilial. This word spread, and the title is light.

Lin Yutong sneered, "The old lady has some truth in what she said. According to the old lady, it's not much to give. This is not something that can be measured by money. As I said, what you owe you should be What do you give back? Don't you just think that your father owes you his life? Then let your father return his life to you. Anyway, you have emptied your family, either to subsidize your parents' family or your daughter. The rest of the children and grandchildren If you can't live anymore, you have to think about a compromise. If you don't ask your father to sacrifice for the sake of his children and grandchildren, and give his life back to you, after all, when he gets to Bo Ge'er, he can still leave some family fortune to live on, right? "

Don't you want to play a bachelor? Don't you want to be rascal? We are rascals to rascals.

As soon as these words came out, Yun Shi covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she was really afraid of accidentally laughing. Concubine Zhao glanced at Lin Yutong vaguely, how could this dead girl look like her mother, just collide with the old lady so abruptly.

Lin Changgen glanced at Lin Yutong with a complicated look. He was usually silent, but his words were really like Gan's character. With a sigh in his heart, he turned to look at the old lady. Seeing her looking at the second girl, her eyes lit up and her lips began to tremble. He quickly took over the conversation: "Old lady, you are going to kill your son. If this family follows the old lady's wishes, the family's ancestral property will be lost. How will my son go to meet the ancestors of the Lin family in the future? Besides, when my sister got married back then, it was also a red makeup. I didn't treat her badly. She is only one daughter now, and she gave her dowry to Duo'er, isn't it enough? For my niece, I am a cruel uncle. But my sister has everything in her hands, and my son has three daughters to marry, so you don't know the situation at home... The son has to pass on his ancestors to his son. The things will be passed on. If you really force your son, he will not dare to be unfilial, but then you really have to find a crooked-neck tree next to the ancestral grave and hang him."

"You..." The old lady pointed at Lin Changgen with a livid face, really daring to threaten her. Lin Changgen got up and knelt down: "Do you want your son's life or something else, just say something."

Seeing that things were about to freeze, she heard Qi Duo'er say, "Look at what uncle said." She smiled coquettishly, looked around, and then stood up from behind Lin Fanghua, "Why are you still serious with your grandmother? It's because the old lady didn't understand what she said." She walked out with a smile and helped Lin Changgen up, "My mother gave the old lady the money and wanted to ask my uncle to do it for me." He looked at the old lady and asked with a smile, "Yes, grandmother."

The old lady looked at her granddaughter's pleading eyes and snorted, "The palms of my hands and the backs of my hands are full of meat, I am such a cruel mother."

Qi Duo'er supported Lin Changgen to sit on the side, and then leaned against the old lady, "Okay! Don't be angry, there is still time for your teeth to bite your tongue. If you are still angry, hit a few times. Uncle's palm is relieved."

"My wife still thinks her hands hurt." The old lady finally came down the steps.

This interruption, the thing was interrupted.

The old lady touched Qi Duo'er's little face: "Don't blame me for being partial to Duo'er, she is more caring than you all put together." After saying that, she glanced at Lin Yutong with a vague look. The girl's house, it has to be like Doer. The second girl is as tough as her mother, and she is destined to suffer.

Lin Yuzhi said in Lin Yutong's ear: "Did you see it? This is Qi Duo'er. You really want to be a concubine with such a person, but you have to have some snacks."

Lin Yutong nodded, but stopped talking while holding the teacup. I really don't feel in the mood to mess with this old lady. Seeing that Lin Fanghua looked over with pride, she felt even more helpless. No matter how smooth you are and how to do things again, you have nothing to do with yourself, okay?

Although the interruption has fooled the conflict today, everyone can see that the rift between the mother and son is not so easy to mend.

The meal was quite depressing. Even though Qi Duoer had the best of both worlds, sitting on both sides of the mother and son in coordination, it was essentially the same as sticking together with glue. With a light touch, the glue opened again.

After the meal, Lin Yutong followed Lin Yuzhi out from the inside. The sisters didn't speak, they just walked all the way quietly. When they were about to separate at the fork in the road, Lin Yuzhi still whispered: "Don't underestimate Qi Duoer, who underestimates Qi Duoer? She's going to suffer for everyone..."

After finishing speaking, he left with the girl Shi Shiran. Leaving Lin Yutong behind really couldn't understand this man's mind.

"Girl, let's go back." Sanxi reminded from behind, "It's cold at night..."

Just as Lin Yutong was about to answer, he saw Lin Shou coming over in a hurry: "Second girl, Uncle, please go to the outer study..."

Find yourself?

Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows. She hadn't asked about it for more than ten years. What should she do now? Her first reaction was that it must have something to do with this Concubine Gan. Concubine Gan's sudden intervention in her marriage may have been unexpected by Lin Changgen.

In Lin Changgen's study, there are quite a few books on calligraphy and painting, but to speak of this taste, Lin Yutong shook his head, it was really not that good.

She sat on the chair casually, and the tea that Lin Shou brought was useless to her.

After a short wait, Lin Changgen came in. Lin Yutong got up and owed a debt.

Lin Changgen felt uncomfortable for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and sat down, "You can sit too."

Lin Yutong sat down and looked at Lin Changgen: "Is there something wrong with my father?"

The corners of Lin Changgen's mouth moved, and it took a long time before he said, "...You're so old! It seems like you were still in the baby yesterday. It was a blink of an eye... Your mother should be happier when she sees you now." Thinking of something, he seemed to be able to say: "Don't think too much about this marriage. Concubine Gan... She will not harm you. Don't care what others say, you don't believe those words. It is suitable. A few days ago, I also met this son of Jin Guogong's family, and he has a good-looking appearance, but he can pass by." The appearance of his daughter, a man who is really a good match, is really hard to find. If you can find a decent one, that's fine. "As for your temperament, it's quite stable, nothing else, at least you can live your idle days."

As soon as Lin Yutong heard that he had seen the fourth master, but this was his evaluation of the fourth master, he thought: What kind of eyes are you looking at?

"These years, I've been a father..." Lin Changgen sighed as he looked at Lin Yutong's unwavering eyes, "It's too late to say this now. What do you want...as long as I take this If Dad can do it, I will find it for you."

Lin Yutong looked at Lin Changgen, and when his heart moved, he blurted out and asked, "I just want to know, my mother... what's going on?"

The teacup in Lin Changgen's hand fell down all of a sudden, and the tea soaked the robes, he didn't care, he just looked at Lin Yutong: "You really know everything... No! What are you doing? knew?"

"The aunt's scolding voice in the house can overturn the house. If there is no connection, can she hate Concubine Gan so much?" Lin Yutong chuckled, "And if Concubine Gan has nothing to do with the Lin family, she will suffer after the miscarriage. For the first time, I didn't want to find a doctor, but forced Madam Chu to agree to the marriage."

That's what I guessed.

Lin Changgen's expression suddenly became heavy, "Apart from this, you can do anything else. Knowing this, it won't do you any good."

Lin Yutong hummed and got up: "Then father, rest. Apart from this, I'm not interested in other things at all."

"You child, I was about to discuss with you about the dowry..." Lin Changgen quickly stood up when he saw that Lin Yutong was about to leave.

Lin Yutong shook his head: "Heroes don't eat family meals, and good women don't wear wedding dresses. I don't have too many demands." After speaking, he didn't stop.

Although he didn't ask anything today, at least it can be seen that Gan's departure from the Lin family was not the fault. Otherwise, Lin Changgen wouldn't think about compensating himself, and the old lady wouldn't be so afraid.

Knowing this is enough. She was really afraid that the Gan family would be someone who abandoned her husband and daughter in order to climb high. Now, she really isn't.

The next day, Duke Jin's government sent the official media. The Lin family accepted the Geng Tie and handed over Lin Yutong's birth date, and this marriage was considered a deal.

Lin Yutong did not participate in these matters. At this time, she was attracted by what Sanxi said.

"...I don't know how it came out. Anyway, it's all over the place. It is said that Duke Jin's mansion is building a family temple, so that there will be a place for the second young grandmother to eat fast and recite Buddha." Sanxi frowned and said, "Also Said, the matter of this adoptive child has been settled."

Lin Yutong thought to herself: Madam Chu knew that Qi Duoer was restless, so she would never say such absolute words. I don't know who was behind the calculations. The words have come out, what else can the Duke of Jin do? Besides, Lin Yuzhi said that this Jin Shouren married the niece of Madam Chu's family.

This has no effect on me, but Qi Duoer, this is considered to be blocking the back road.

If she knew that she could only be a widow when she married, would Qi Duoer dare to marry like this?

Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, Lin Yuzhi's stubborn face suddenly appeared in his mind. She secretly said: This is not the big girl's plan behind the scenes.

But Lin Yuzhi smiled when he looked at the empty jewelry box: "Don't look at the money spent, but it's worth it."

Chunmei was about to cry: "If you don't redeem it as soon as possible and let your wife know, how can you get it. During the Chinese New Year, the eldest girl and the three girls all wear clothes on their heads, so if you are bald, the old lady and the lady can Don't you ask? If you really ask..." You're fine, but the board has to hit these girls.

"I won't wait until the Chinese New Year." Lin Yuzhi chuckled lightly.

Chunmei didn't understand what it meant and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, we won't be at home for the New Year this year." The smile on Lin Yuzhi's mouth became more and more obvious, "Not only is he not at home anymore, but those red, green, gold and silver ones will not be used in the future." This marriage must have happened years ago. If she remembered correctly, after a while, the weather would suddenly cool down, and it hadn't been so cold in years. The old lady of the King's Mansion couldn't stand such a climate, and became seriously ill. Not only this old lady, but also the emperor in the palace...

Therefore, this marriage had to be brought forward, otherwise, the Duke's Mansion would also be afraid of meeting the filial piety of the country and the filial piety.

Lin Yuzhi's words □ □ Mei listened in a daze, but now the box is empty, so it has to be locked first.

Xia He took Chunmei out and said, "Why don't we go out and buy some gilded ones first, so we can pretend."

"That thing can be seen by punching the eye." Chunmei frowned and shook her head, then turned her face and said, "Why don't you look for the full moon and borrow it from the second girl first." There are still three months until the new year. Never wear any jewelry.

Xia He hesitated for a long time, then glanced inside, "I'm afraid the girl won't let me."

Chunmei said in her heart: It's better to call the girl a bear than to tell the lady to beat her and drive her out. Taking the girl's bag and going out as a **** can kill them both. She gritted her teeth, "don't worry about it. I'll handle this, you just pretend you don't know anything."

That's what Xia He meant. The girl obviously valued Chunmei more, and she didn't know anything about what Mei was doing in private. Since the girl valued her, she knew the girl's secrets the most. Even if the girl blamed her for this, it wouldn't be a big problem.

So on the night of the full moon, she told Lin Yutong about the matter in a low voice: "...I was afraid that I would report to the girl at that time, and then Mei and the eldest girl would not be able to get up and down. I decided to choose two sets of jewelry that the girl did not wear often. Going out. It was bought by the house for a few girls together, and you wouldn't know who it belonged to without looking at the little sign on it."

Lin Yutong nodded: "Well done." Even the jewelry had to be worn, so Lin Yuzhi's expenses were too high. Where has all the money gone? It seemed that Lin Yuzhi didn't stop at all.

When Lin Yuzhi saw the jewelry and glanced at Chunmei, he didn't blame him, but said, "It's fine! I didn't plan to hide it from her..." With Ermei's cleverness, I'm afraid she'd already guessed her plan, but then so what? No one can stop his footsteps.

It's not been two days since this incident, another incident happened, which made Lin Yutong's heart twitch.

"...It is said outside that Concubine Gan should not be liked by the queen first, not the daughter-in-law recognized by the queen, so she was allowed to have a miscarriage in the ceremony... Prince Heng recently knelt down in the palace's Fengxian Hall every day, saying It is to plead guilty to the ancestors... I wrote a letter yesterday, saying that I want to adopt the eldest son of Prince Duan... The emperor was so angry that he wanted to give him a few palace maids, but he refused to accept... Saying yes, this is a promise Concubine Gan's... Moreover, he has a deep love for Concubine Gan and no one can interfere..."

Sanxi said, with some envy in her eyes: "I really want to see what kind of beauty Concubine Gan is, and I call Prince Heng infatuated with this."

infatuation?

Lin Yutong sneered. If he really loves a woman, he won't make her the target of public criticism, and he won't make her take on these reputations. He is infatuated, he doesn't love Jiangshan anymore, but Concubine Gan has become a disaster.

If the royal family really wants to produce such a woman, what will be the consequences? It really angered the emperor, and after a glass of poisonous wine, there was nothing left. It's hard to say what would happen to Concubine Gan if it wasn't for the fact that the last request for an adoptive child had diverted the emperor's attention.

She has been a princess and a queen. But what did the fourth master do at that time?

Her hand was tightly clenched, Concubine Gan was afraid that her life in the palace was not going well, right?

And the fourth master, who also heard the news, praised in his heart. Asking for the eldest son of Prince Duan to adopt Prince Duan is a good move. The throne is one step closer to Prince Duan. But if the Gan family is not as favored as rumored by the outside world, after this Prince Duan ascends the throne, it is really hard to say whether it is good news for himself and Tongtong.

And Jin Chengan, the commander of the Imperial Guard, has already stood in line? If standing in line, where does he stand? These are all things that have a vital impact on their future lives.

Just as he was thinking about how to talk, Guixi rushed in: "Master, the old lady is a little bad..."
