Concubine Gaomen (15)

Lin Fanghua squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Yutong. She was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old lady, "Okay. There are so many serious things waiting to be busy, how can I have time to grind my teeth? We should discuss the dowry of the two girls... This country

The government will send a matchmaker to your door in the next two days..." After saying that, he glanced at Yun and said, "You are good at socializing on this matter. The dowry for the two girls, this matter..."

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

Lin Fanghua immediately raised his head and glanced at Lin Changgen, then looked at the old lady aggrievedly, what did he mean? The old lady clearly said that the dowries of the two girls would belong to the two girls alone when they got to her brother. This was not true at all.

Are you preparing for Duoer?

Yun's heart suddenly felt at ease. The second girl is the legitimate daughter, and she should be given a share of the dowry. But if she is also given a dowry to her niece, she will not be able to deal with it. Even Zhao who is waiting at the side

Auntie, she didn’t say a word. What should be left to her son in this family? Spend less and keep more at home. Why should you bear the burden on the girl of the Qi family? The Qi family still has uncles in the family. They can rely on everything.

Uncle, that doesn't make sense.

The old lady choked, and her face looked a little ugly. She looked at the expressions of everyone in the room, and felt even more suffocated. She could only say: "Then I will leave my whole life to Duo'er... Your sister is orphaned and widowed.

A reliance..."

Lin Changgen glanced at the old lady: "When something happened to my uncle's family, you paid for all your dowry and paid 20,000 taels of silver from your family." As he said that, he looked at Aunt Zhao who was huddled aside.

"My cousin finally lost the little thing you gave me in a bet, and almost lost my cousin to someone else. However, our family spent three thousand taels of silver to settle the matter. Which of the things in your hand belong to you?"

Private property." He said that everything in the old lady's hands was withheld from the public.

"Bastard!" The old lady was shaken out, and her face suddenly became pale, "I gave birth to you, but you are settling the accounts with me. I gave birth to you, and you have to

How much money should you give me? How much money do you have to give me after I support you? Calculate it carefully for me, and then we can talk again when you understand."

This is unreasonable. Lin Fanghua must be subsidized.

Lin Changgen was choked up all of a sudden. How could he continue to say this? If he continued to say this, it would be really unfilial. If these words were spread, seizing the title would be considered trivial.

Lin Yutong sneered, "What the old lady said makes sense. According to the old lady, no amount of money is too much. This is not something that can be measured by money. According to me, I owe you whatever I owe you.

What? Don’t you think that your father owes you his life? Then there is no end to asking your father to return his life to you. Anyway, your family has been emptied out, not to subsidize your parents’ family, but to subsidize your daughter. The remaining children and grandchildren will not be able to survive.

, you have to think of a compromise. How about asking your father to sacrifice for the sake of his children and grandchildren and return his life directly to you. At least when you get to Bo Geer, you can still leave some family property to live on, right?"

Don’t you want to be a bachelor? Don’t you want to be a rogue? Let’s be rogues versus rogues.

As soon as these words came out, Yun pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, she was really afraid that she would laugh accidentally. Aunt Zhao glanced at Lin Yutong vaguely, how could this damn girl be like her mother, so forcefully going to the old lady?

It hit one piece.

Lin Changgen glanced at Lin Yutong complicatedly. He usually kept silent, but his words really resembled Gan's character. He sighed inwardly, turned to look at the old lady, and saw her looking at the two

The girl's eyes were on fire and her lips began to tremble. She quickly took over the conversation: "Old lady, you are forcing your son to die. If this family follows the old lady's wishes, the family's ancestral business will be really ruined. In the future, our son will

How to meet the ancestors of the Lin family. Besides, when my sister got married, it was a red dowry of ten miles. I didn't treat her badly. She only has this daughter now, and she gave her dowry to Duo'er. Isn't it enough? If it's true

My sister can't afford a dowry, so I don't give anything to my niece. It's because I'm a cruel uncle. But my sister clearly has everything in her hands, and my son has three daughters to get married. It's not like you don't know the situation at home... My son still has it.

You have to pass on what your ancestors passed down to your son. If you really force your son, he will not dare to be unfilial, but when the time comes, he will really have no choice but to find a crooked neck tree next to his ancestor's grave and hang himself."

"You..." The old lady pointed at Lin Changgen with a livid face, and she really dared to threaten her. Lin Changgen stood up and knelt down: "Do you want your son's life or something else? Please tell me."

Seeing that things were about to come to a standstill, Qi Duoer answered: "Look what uncle said." She smiled coquettishly, looked around, and then stood up from behind Lin Fanghua, "Why are you still serious about this matter with grandma?

, 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 to keep, and she wanted to ask my uncle to take care of it.” As she said that, she looked at

He smiled at the old lady and asked, "Really, grandma?"

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

Qi Duoer helped Lin Changgen sit aside, and then leaned against the old lady, "Okay! Don't be angry, your teeth are still biting your tongue. If you are angry again, give your uncle a few slaps.

Use your palms to calm down."

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

This interruption brought the matter to a close.

The old lady touched Qi Duo'er's little face: "Don't blame me for being partial to Duo'er, she is more considerate than all of you combined." As she said that, she glanced at Lin Yutong with a vague look. The girl's house,

It must be Duo'er. The second girl has a tough temperament like her mother, and she is destined to suffer.

Lin Yuzhi said in Lin Yutong's ear: "Did you see it? This is Qi Duoer. If you really want to be a sister-in-law with such a person, you have to be careful."

Lin Yutong nodded, but held the tea cup and stopped talking. She really had no intention of arguing with this old lady. Seeing Lin Fanghua's eyes looking over with pride, she felt even more helpless. No matter how tactful and good at dealing with things, she had nothing to do with herself.

Is a penny relationship good?

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

The meal was quite depressing. Although Qi Duoer managed to get both sides of the situation, sitting on both sides of the mother and son to coordinate, it was actually as if they were stuck together with glue. A light touch would cause the glue to break apart.

After eating, Lin Yutong followed Lin Yuzhi out of the house. The two sisters didn't say anything and walked quietly all the way. When they were about to separate at the fork in the road, Lin Yuzhi still whispered: "Don't underestimate Qi Duo'er, who should underestimate her?"

Everyone will suffer..."

After saying that, he took the girl Shi Shiran and left. Lin Yutong was left behind and really couldn't understand what this person was thinking.

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

Just as Lin Yutong was about to respond, he saw Lin Shou coming over in a hurry: "Second Miss, uncle, please go to the study room..."

Looking for yourself?

Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows. She had not asked about it for more than ten years. What should she be asked to do now? Her first reaction was that it must have something to do with Concubine Gan. Concubine Gan's sudden intervention in her marriage might be caused by Chang Lin.

Unexpected.

Lin Changgen's study had quite a lot of calligraphy and painting books, but when it came to taste, Lin Yutong shook his head, it was really not that good.

She sat casually on the chair, and even the tea brought by Lin Shou was of no use to her.

After waiting for a while, Lin Changgen came in. Lin Yutong stood up and bowed.

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

Lin Yutong sat down and looked at Lin Changgen: "Is something wrong, father?"

Lin Changgen moved the corner of his mouth, and after a long time he said: "...You're so old! It seems like yesterday you were still in swaddling clothes, it just happened in the blink of an eye...Your mother should be even happier to see you look like you now." As he said,

Thinking of something, he seemed to say: "Don't think too much about this marriage. Concubine Gan...she won't harm you. Don't care what others say, don't believe those words. Other families may not be as good as Duke Jin.

Suitable. A few days ago, I also met this concubine from Duke Jin's family. He has a passable appearance." With the appearance of my daughter, it's really hard to find a man who is a good match. It's hard to find someone who is passable.

, Not bad. "As for your temperament, it's quite stable. Everything else is fine. At least you can live a leisurely life."

When Lin Yutong heard that he had met the fourth master, but he commented on the fourth master like this, he thought to himself: What on earth is that look in your eyes?

"All these years, I, as a father..." Lin Changgen looked at Lin Yutong's calm eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's too late to say this now. What do you want...as long as I am a father?"

If I can do it, I will find it for you."

Lin Yutong looked at Lin Changgen, her heart moved, and she blurted out: "I want to know, my mother... what is going on?"

Lin Changgen suddenly dropped the tea cup in his hand, and the tea wet the brocade robe. He didn't care, just looked at Lin Yutong: "You really know everything... No! How do you know?

of?"

"My aunt's scolding voice in the house can bring down the house. If there was no relationship, how could she hate Concubine Gan so much?" Lin Yutong chuckled, "And if Concubine Gan had no relationship with the Lin family, she would have hated Concubine Gan so much after the miscarriage.

The first thing I didn’t think about was looking for a doctor, but forcing Mrs. Chu to agree to the marriage."

That's what I guessed.

Lin Changgen's expression suddenly became heavy, "Besides this matter, anything else will do. Knowing this matter will do you no good."

Lin Yutong chuckled and stood up: "Then father, please rest. Apart from this matter, I am not interested in other things at all."

"You kid, I was just about to discuss the dowry with you..." Lin Changgen saw that Lin Yutong was about to leave and quickly stood up.

Lin Yutong shook his head: "A good man doesn't live in separate families, and a good girl doesn't wear wedding clothes. I don't have too many requirements." He said without stopping.

Although nothing was asked today, it can at least be seen that Gan was not at fault for leaving the Lin family. Otherwise, Lin Changgen would not have thought of compensating himself, and the old lady would not be so afraid.

Knowing this was enough. She was really afraid that Gan would be someone who abandoned her husband and daughter in order to climb a high tree. Now it seems that she really is not.

The next day, Duke Jin's Mansion sent the official media. The Lin family accepted the Geng Tie and handed over Lin Yutong's birthday and birth date. The marriage was accepted.

Lin Yutong was not involved in any of these matters. At this time, she was attracted by what Sanxi said.

"...I don't know how it came out. Anyway, it was spread everywhere. It is said that Duke Jin's mansion is building a family temple, so that there will be a place for the second young lady to eat fast and chant Buddha in the future." Sanxi frowned and said: "Also

He said that the matter of step-heirs has been decided."

Lin Yutong thought to himself: Mrs. Chu knew that Qi Duoer was restless, so she would never say such absolute words. She didn’t know who was behind this plot. After the words were spread, Duke Jin’s Mansion still

What can be done? Besides, Lin Yuzhi said that Jin Shouren married the niece of Mrs. Chu’s natal family. If it really caused a lot of trouble for her niece, Mrs. Chu from the Chu family would probably not be able to explain it to her.

This has no impact on me, but for Qi Duoer, this may be regarded as blocking the way back.

If Qi Duoer knew that if she married, she would only be left a widow, would Qi Duoer still dare to marry like this?

Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, Lin Yuzhi's stubborn face suddenly appeared in her mind. She thought to herself: Could this big girl be plotting this behind her back?

Lin Yuzhi looked at the empty jewelry box and smiled: "It doesn't cost a lot of money, but it's worth it."

Chunmei was about to cry: "If you don't redeem it as soon as possible, what will happen if you let the madam know about it? During the Chinese New Year, the eldest and the other girls all have hair on their heads. You are bare. Can the old lady and the madam not do it?"
