The Landlord And His Wife

    Song Yao turned to look at Liu Lin at this moment, and his eyes met, as if she knew what he was thinking, Song Yao murmured, "My father has been sick for a long time. Well, this matter... He really didn't understand, but, mother... Mother doesn't know, I am... I don't..." stammered, but couldn't say the words, only blushed and finally lowered his head head to go.

    Liu Lin listened carefully, he always felt that Song Yao's words were very important! But she didn't finish speaking, Liu Lin was anxious, and moved her mouth a few times to ask what she wanted to say, but looking at her appearance, she couldn't really say it, she could only sigh in her heart, it was sour and a little sweet Feeling, asked softly, "Where are you going now?" Where is her eldest brother?

    Song Yao said, "Go to the front yard to see if the eldest brother can't come out... Maybe you can see the eldest sister-in-law."

    Liu Lin is a little used to it now, trying to figure out the meaning of what she said, she understands what Song Yao is saying, her eldest brother may not see it, but her sister-in-law will definitely see it, maybe there is more What conditions should you put forward with yourself.

    Liu Lin nodded, followed her to the study in the front yard, entered the study and waited for a long time, but she did not wait for Song Yao's eldest brother, and her eldest sister-in-law, the eldest grandmother of the Hanlin House, Shi Shiran The one who came with the eldest young mistress and walked in front turned out to be the Mrs. Song she had just met.

    Liu Lin already understands in his heart, since these two are the ones who are mainly involved in the marriage of Luo Songyao, and the dowry gifts are sent today, it is undoubtedly time for them to check the results.

    Song Yao's eldest sister-in-law looks like twenty-four or five years old, and she is still beautiful, but Liu Lin can be said to be extremely disgusted with her. When Song Yao was kicked out that day, she shook at the gate of the courtyard. Liu Lin didn't see it clearly, but as soon as she made a sound, Liu Lin heard that it was indeed the sound of scolding Song Yao in the courtyard that day. I really don't want to look at her any more.

    "The eldest young master is studying his homework in the study, and he said that the idlers and others are not to be seen..." The eldest young mistress smiled frivolously: "Although the affairs of Young Master Liu are also serious business, it is not considered idle and miscellaneous people. But... the eldest young master still needs to work hard."

      The leather skirt is covered with a pair of collars and golden butterflies wearing a flower robe.

    To be honest, judging from the jewelry worn by Mrs. Song and the eldest young grandmother, Liu Lin really couldn't tell that the family had reached the point of helplessness.

      In this place, he would definitely belittle himself to humiliate Song Yao anyway. Liu Lin didn't really want to be looked down upon by these two women. In his current form, he had to endure it until Song Yao passed the door. It was a piece of cake for him to clean up these two idiot women.

    It was Song Yao, on the contrary, listening to the eldest young mistress's words, her eyes were red with anger and anxiety, and she bit her lower lip.

    Liu Lin said with a smile: "Young master is not free, it doesn't matter, I have seen Mrs. and Mrs. before. The dowry is still at the gate of the mansion, should I be called to bring it in? "

    Mrs. Song came out, just to see the dowry! Of course, he nodded hurriedly: "Okay! Call to bring it in!"

    Liu Lin walked out, and when he arrived at the courtyard gate, he found Xiaobei who was following him far away, and told him to order those people to carry the dowry in. Xiaobei nodded and turned and ran out, after a moment After a long time, the group had already carried the betrothal gifts and put them down in the atrium of the front yard, and the group went out again, only Xiao Bei retreated to the gate of the outer courtyard and waited.

      I want to stop, it looks so awkward to go.

    Liu Lin also understands them, it's like people who have been out of food for several days suddenly have food, and people who have been out of water for several days suddenly need to drink water, the same mood. Seeing the stumbling footsteps of the two in front, Liu Lin's mouth twitched into a sneer at this moment.

    Mrs. Song and the eldest young mistress walked to the dowry box, and they couldn't contain their excitement. Obviously, these things satisfied them too much! Seeing the long-lost whole horses of fashionable silk satin, fur coats, gold and silver jewelry, the two of them glanced at each other and couldn't hide their joyful expressions. In order to be more reserved, Mrs. Song hurriedly picked up the gift list on the mahogany tray and looked at it. Even Liu Lin couldn't care less about it.

    Liu Lin and Song Yao walked behind and couldn't catch up with them. Seeing that Mrs. Song had already held up the gift list and looked at it, the two stopped, Liu Lin turned her head and glanced at Song Yao , said softly: "Don't be uncomfortable, I'm fine."

    Song Yao's eyes were still red, and she was still annoyed by what the eldest young mistress said just now. After listening to Liu Lin's words, she looked up at him and saw him smiling slightly at herself, as if she really didn't care at all. Angry, he murmured, "Liu Lin..."

    Liu Lin smiled and said, "I don't care what these people do to me."

    The two were talking softly not far away. In front of Mrs. Song and the eldest young lady, one was looking at the list and the other was looking at the real thing. Then he coughed and turned to look at Liu Lin. He pointedly pointed at the silk fabrics and asked, "Are these materials on the account?"

    As soon as Liu Lin heard this, she knew that she did not understand any accounting knowledge, she sneered in her heart, shook her head and said, "These silk cloths are not bought by the shop, they are specially purchased. All the silk in the shop is On the account, here is the betrothal gift I gave to Song Yao, so naturally it won't be messed up."

    Mrs. Song gave the account book of the silk shop she had seen to the eldest young mistress. When the eldest young mistress finished reading, the two looked up at each other. The eldest young mistress was busy nodding, and Madam Song nodded with a smile. . In fact, the two of them couldn't read the accounts at all, and the eldest grandmother didn't even know how to read, but neither of them wanted to be looked down upon by the turtle in their eyes—that is, Liu Lin, so they pretended to be confident.

    Liu Lin didn't react at first, but was reminded by Shicheng later, he only looked at this matter from the perspective of doing business, and now he sees this family very thoroughly. To be honest, the pretentious appearance of these two people is really not worth showing in front of the old fried dough sticks in his business field!

    They regarded Liu Lin as a fool, but in fact, in Liu Lin's eyes, these two women were fools beyond reach.

    Mrs. Song and the eldest young grandmother saw the dowry gift. For them who are now embarrassed, these things can really be said to be a blessing in the snow, and it can be regarded as a windfall! Therefore, the two of them were very excited, and their emotions rose immediately. The bad luck of the past few years has almost been swept away.

    Mrs. Song invited Liu Lin back to the house. After everyone sat down, the two involuntarily became more polite to Liu Lin. Tea.

    Mrs. Song had already called Liu Lin's 'son-in-law' with a smile, and Liu Lin said humbly, "Some of the rules of the country people are different from those of the city people, and I'm not sure. I didn't dare to be too presumptuous, if there is anything wrong, please ask my mother-in-law to correct me."

    Mrs. Song smiled and nodded, rolling her eyes, looking at Song Yao from time to time.

    Sitting politely in the room for a while, Mrs. Song got a general understanding of the Liu family's situation, and then hinted and urged Liu Lin, the matter of marriage should be hurry up after the new year, and so on, Liu Lin saw that it was almost time, and got up to leave.

    Song Yao sent Liu Lin out, and the two still walked out slowly. Song Yao talked about the situation at home. Liu Lin was really worried about the safety of their house. Really guarantee that there is no money for New Year's Xiaoxiao to stare at their Hanlin mansion! There were still three or five people beside Mrs. Song and the eldest young grandma, but Song Yao only had an old nanny beside her.

     After thinking about it for a while, Liu Lin said to Song Yao: "Well, I have a servant who is very clever, I asked him to pretend to be a watchman, starting from the first watch, every night in your house Around, you live in the side yard, if there is something wrong, you can shout to the side yard, Xiaobei will naturally be able to hear it, come and help... just in case!"

    Song Yao nodded, she wanted to say thank you, but for some reason, she didn't say it, just pursed her lips and smiled.

    "By the way, your nanny, you said it was your mother's... It's not Mrs. Song, right?" Liu Lin had to confirm that there was someone around Song Yao who he could trust. People, although the nurse's performance was very reassuring before, it's better to ask clearly.

    Song Yao had nothing to hide from him now, nodded and said, "It's my mother's... My mother was a concubine, and my grandfather was a clerk in the Taichang Temple in the capital."

    Liu Lin suddenly realized that she was a good concubine, no wonder there is someone to dowry, he nodded and said, "That's good, anyway, there is someone around you who can rest assured."

      He said to Song Yao, "Okay, we're here, you can go back!"

    Song Yao nodded again, pursed her lips and looked at him, smiled, and then turned and left quietly.

    Liu Lin saw her walk into the inner courtyard, and then turned around and left the house. After coming out, he exhaled. Originally, he was still a little suffocated about sending these dowry gifts, and felt that he was still being coerced, but now that he has seen the situation of the Hanlin Mansion, he really understands it completely. Some money and things, otherwise, looking at the embarrassed appearance of the Hanlin Mansion, after a while, life will become more and more insecure. Maybe Mrs. Song and the eldest young grandma will be tempted to sell Song Yao!

    After observing the situation in the Hanlin Mansion today, Liu Lin was also a little anxious. It seemed that Mr. Song would not be able to live for long. She closed her eyes and kicked her legs. Song Yao would be filial piety for three years. And the Hanlin Mansion will definitely not last for three years. In the past three years, Mrs. Song and the eldest young grandma are not allowed to survive, and other thoughts will regenerate. What a long night dream!

    Fortunately, Mrs. Song and the eldest young mistress are also anxious about this point. They want to get the shop as soon as possible. I wish he would come and pick up Song Yao tomorrow! Give them the shop!
