The Lin Family of Gusu in the Red Mansion

"So, the imperial decree was not the emperor's sudden whim, but Yun Miao's request." Lin Su seemed not to be affected by this matter at all, and was still pruning the flower branches of the potted flower.

"Ah."

"Crack!" A pretty purple chrysanthemum fell to the ground, and Lin Ke felt that the scissors cut not the flower, but Yun Miao's head, really.

"Heh, he is the general of Zhen Guo and the uncle of the Holy Majesty. What can we do? He can marry if he wants to. There is no need to ask our family's wishes." Although the words were peaceful, there was a strong irony on his face. The dissatisfaction and unwillingness really reflected Lin Su's unhappiness at the moment.In fact, she admired Yun Miao in the past, but as a modern person, she really couldn't bear this kind of extreme machismo.

"Sister, do you want to marry? If you don't want to, Ke'er must have a way to make the emperor take back his will." Lin Ke smiled, and his Lin family is not a soft persimmon, so easy to handle, "Sister, can you think about it?"

Lin Su put down the scissors in her hand, looked at Lin Ke who was almost as tall as her, and sighed in her heart, her younger brother really grew up and knew how to love others, but she didn't want to drag him down.

"What are you thinking about? Marrying is not marrying. This Yun Miao can be considered a good candidate. We should be glad that the emperor didn't promise me to someone like Jia Baoyu."

Lin Ke didn't understand what his own sister was like. Although she spoke beautifully and didn't look wronged, she was always resentful and unwilling.In fact, Yun Miao is really good, if he can ask the wishes of the Lin family before asking for the decree, then the Lin family will be willing, but unfortunately, he is too arrogant.It's like this now, so when his sister marries, will she have status in the family, and will her words be useful?It doesn't appear on the surface, but Lin Ke has a care in his heart.

"Old lady, what should I do? It will be half a year after visiting relatives, and the construction of Xiangliu Xiang's house has started early, but our family has not even collected the money." Mrs. Wang said with a face full of anxiety, and finally she had some eyes. Weihong, holding the handkerchief, began to cry, "My poor little girl, it's so easy to get ahead in the palace, but the family doesn't give her any face at all, isn't it for her to be in other places in the future?" Can't you hold your head up in front of the concubine, my son, how did you live such a hard life, for this family you..."

Mother Jia couldn't stand being cried by her, her face was slightly stiff, she frowned and said angrily: "Okay, the second child, don't embarrass yourself in front of me. I also feel sorry for the empress in the palace, but there is something wrong with this." What method, did the money fall from the sky? I thought that Miss Lin's money would be the same, but who knew it would turn into a fake bank note."

"Didn't Lin Zhixiao's family say that all the materials used to build the house came from the Lin family's shop? This Lin girl is his niece and daughter, and she eats and drinks at our Jia's house all day long. Could it be that they can't avoid our house?" money?"

Mrs. Wang was a little anxious, but this made Jia Mu's face darker.

"Miss Lin eats and drinks at our house all day long. Could it be that we don't use the money from the Lin family? Don't say you don't know how many things Lin Hai sent back then. As for the crazy words among the servants, you think I don't know? "After all, this Lin Daiyu is still her own granddaughter. She can say it, but others can't say it. "As for the Lin family, I sent someone there yesterday, and I was coaxed out without even seeing her. The second child came later. Tell me, Lin Qingze's family separated long before Lin Hai's death, and now they have nothing to do with Miss Lin, so why should they help us?"

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this: "What? Miss Lin has nothing to do with Lin Shangshu's family?" At first, she thought that even if she lost the money, she would still be useful, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary.

"Forget it, for the sake of empress's dignity, let the two mansions each provide some private houses. Yuanyang, go and call the elders, as well as Feng girl, and the people from the Ningguo mansion, let them all come over for a while. Let's go." If Mother Jia hadn't been smiling now, she would definitely be able to see the shrewdness and calculation in her eyes.

Then the descendants arrived one after another, and even the old man Jia She came and got involved.

"The old ancestor is planning to eat the New Year's Eve reunion dinner in advance today. Everyone arrived so neatly." Wang Xifeng made jokes as soon as she came up, but she knew in her heart that today was probably because of the garden.

Jia's mother was restless, but Wang Xifeng's words made her feel a lot brighter.

"I called you all here today, not for anything else, but for the garden where my mother visited my relatives." Jia Mu looked around at the people below, with different expressions, such as the money-loving Mrs. Xing, who was about to bury her head. It was on the ground, but Wang Xifeng still had that grinning look on her face, "I think you all know what happened two days ago, you must not tell about the fake banknote, and you will be sentenced. For the money, my mother has suffered a lot for Jia's family, we can't cut her face, even if we have a hard life in the future, we have to let my mother be beautiful. I know you are all people who have their own interests, so... "..."

If you don't say anything below, everyone will understand what it means.

"Old lady, our eldest room is very poor, and the housekeeper has always been the second room, even if there is a little oil and water money, it will not fall into our hands." Jia Amnesty was the first to speak, don't look at him, but the relationship It is not ambiguous about the matter of my own interests, "Besides, my wife is just a girl from a small family, but she doesn't have the dowry book, and she is not as good as my brother and daughter-in-law. But since the old lady has spoken, the construction of the garden I don’t have any land yet, the land in the mansion allocated to me when the master was alive was originally planned to build a simple garden in a few years, let me give it to the empress today.”

Mrs. Wang was not happy when she heard that, let's not say that the land originally belonged to Jia's mansion, the first house only gave out the land, so could it be possible that the second house gave all the other money?

"Brother said this, Your Majesty is the glory of our whole house, you just gave away such a piece of land, why can't you justify it?"

Mrs. Xing is a person who got into the eyes of money. When she heard Mrs. Wang asked them to pay, it would be fine, she hurriedly answered: "The honorable one belongs to your second wife, so what does it have to do with our first wife? Your empress is in the palace. He has never brought us anything, so where is the glory? Our master is already very good after leaving the land, and you don’t know that our big house is poor, and this forces us to sell our iron. "

Even though Mrs. Wang's face was livid with anger, Mrs. Xing still said, as for Jia Amnesty, she didn't see it.

"Okay, from the second family, my lady is your big girl. I know you have a lot of money, so it's not a problem to just take out 20 taels." Mother Jia opened her mouth, and she has already hit Madam Wang's door. , It's a pity that I never had a chance, so I just took advantage of today to make her bleed, "You should give her a face as a mother."

"Old lady, where do I have 20 taels, at most 20 would be a big deal." Mrs. Wang turned pale with shock. She didn't expect the old lady to ask her to pay [-] taels. Wouldn't it be her life? I have to save some for Baoyu to marry."

Mother Jia's face turned cold. She knew that Mrs. Wang had at least 50 taels in her hand. If she doesn't let Mrs. Wang bleed today, then she will be the one who bleeds, but no one can touch her ladder. Guarantee her status as the old feudal monarch in Jia's mansion.

"No? Then should I let the second child come to check your house? If there is more, how about giving it to Xiu Yuanzi? As for Baoyu, wouldn't my own grandmother think about him?"

When Mrs. Wang heard that she was going to call Jia Zheng, her face turned pale.Jia Zheng is a foolish filial piety, if Mother Jia really asked him to inspect his house, then he would definitely do so, I am afraid that he will lose more by then, so he can't help scolding Mother Jia in his heart, this old godly woman is always against himself , Just like Jia Min and Lin Daiyu who are so charming, it is no wonder that such a daughter was born, killing the concubine and the concubine.Although she dealt with Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan everywhere, she didn't want to kill her, anyway, her surname is Jia.

She had to grit her teeth and said, "What the old lady said is that this is what a daughter-in-law should do."

Sooner or later, I will tell you to taste my strength. The future mistress of the Jia family is me.Mrs. Xing was very happy to see that Mrs. Wang suffered a loss, but she was very jealous when she thought that Mrs. Wang actually had 20 taels in her hand.

When Mrs. You saw Mrs. Wang's statement, she smiled, but no one knew how true it was.

"Our Ningguo Mansion has been unable to make ends meet all these years, but after all, it is the empress in the palace, so we can't be too picky, so let's give 5 taels."

When Mrs. Wang heard the number, she just wanted to vomit blood, but she didn't pick it up, and the whole house actually gave 5 taels?

But Mrs. Wang has wronged Youshi. Ningguo Mansion is really struggling to make ends meet. The main reason is that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are too prodigal, plus Jia Qiang who is still using the money in the mansion even though she is out on her own. The Ningguo Mansion was emptied out by these three gentlemen, and the one who played better than Jia Shehai went, and there were only three of them as soon as they came.Besides, it is the Ningguo Mansion, why should you pay so much money to the Rongguo Mansion, isn't it stupid?In the end, what Jia Yuanchun remembered must be your Rongguo Mansion, and it would be thankless if you gave too much money.

It can be said that everyone in Jia's family has their own little ninety-nine.

Jia's mother also knew that the Ningguo Mansion was not going to press hard, so she accepted it, but shifted her target to Wang Xifeng. As the first daughter of the Wang family, Wang Xifeng also had a lot of dowries.

"Has Feng girl ever thought of doing her best for the empress in the palace? If it's less than 3 taels, I won't accept it."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing when she heard this number. The Rongguo Mansion has long been unable to enter the interior these years, and it is all supported by her dowry subsidies. Now if she is asked to take out such a large amount of money all at once, what will you let her do in the future? You have money to manage Jia's house, but the old lady has spoken, what can you do?

Wang Xifeng walked up to Jia Mu with a smile, leaned on Jia Mu and made a fuss: "The old lady has spoken, and I dare not follow. It is only 3 taels. When it comes to the empress, the old ancestors began to go I squeeze oil from my body, which shows that I am unloved."

"You monkey, didn't you drink all the vinegar in the little kitchen?" Jia's mother was also happy to see Wang Xifeng so forthright, and joked with her, "If you were to be a concubine in the palace, I'm afraid it would be your old lady." I have to build a garden for you even if the family is ruined."

"I would like to, but it's a pity that my burnt test paper is almost the same as Lian'er. If I enter the palace, it deserves to be laughed at."

"Okay, it's almost enough to transfer another 10 taels from the public account." Jiamu set the price of the garden with a few words, but she didn't pay a penny herself.

If Lin Daiyu saw this kind of scene today, I don't know what she would think. She could obviously scrape together the money, but if she borrowed it from her alone, she would die too much.

At this moment, Mei Yan, who was listening to the report from the Dark Night Pavilion with Lin Ke, finally concluded a truth: this person is cheap.

"There's more than one cheap one, and that General Yun is also very cheap." Lin Ke laughed.

"Eh? What's the situation?" The fire of gossip in Mei Yan's heart was burning.

Yue Zheng took a look at the sword in his hand, and seemed to reply coldly: "The princess who came from the Northern Han Dynasty to marry Yun Miao, who named her by name, wanted to marry Yun Miao. The marriage contract between Miao and the Lin family. In order to completely obtain the Northern Han Dynasty, I was afraid that the Holy Majesty would agree. Then Miss Lin Su..."

"What?" Mei Yan jumped up from the chair in shock, "Is the princess out of her mind? She has a marriage contract, but someone broke it. The Holy Majesty should not agree, but if this angers Beihan, once again Sending troops to come to the Holy Majesty is also unwilling, it's hard to say!"

Lin Ke lowered his head and smiled with a deep meaning...

Yun Miao, how would you choose?
