The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 198

    The goods, accounts, and working capital in the shop can’t be moved now, and the whole thing is handed over to the eldest young master of the Hanlin Mansion. From now on, the shop will have nothing to do with the Liu family.

    Liu Lin almost exploded after hearing this! If it wasn’t for Song Yao, he really wanted to turn his face!

    When the matchmaker talked about the condition of the Song family, the whole family was there, and Liu Changgeng and others were all dumbfounded. Liu Shu asked if he had nothing else to say, so he sent the matchmaker away first, and said to the matchmaker at the door, “Let’s discuss it.”

      “

    Liu Shu nodded, closed the door and came back, seeing the whole family sitting in a daze, Liu Lin’s angry face was like pig iron on the bottom of the sea, He frowned with a needle in his hand.

    Liu Xuer didn’t expect Hanlin Mansion to say such conditions, she didn’t understand other people in Hanlin Mansion, she wondered if Song Yao’s parents would say such conditions, but Liu Xuer does know one person, the eldest young mistress, in this incident, the credit of the eldest young mistress must be indispensable!

      In fact, it is equivalent to asking for money, and the deed of the shop is theirs, and now I will roll up the goods inside, and it will be neat and tidy…”

    “Shut up.” Liu Xuer hit him and scolded softly.

    Liu Sen stuck his tongue out and turned to look at Liu Lin.

    Liu Lin’s face was ugly, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: “I will not agree.”

     Willow said: “Let’s think of a way, or find someone to talk and make peace? If you want to come to people, you still feel that we are of low rank and don’t want to, so you deliberately make things difficult? Why don’t you go to the county? Ling came forward, or which big family in Feng County?”

    Liu Xuer shook her head: “The Hanlin mansion is a Beijing official, and the county magistrates may not be able to see it. As for other big households, there are not many who can get into the eyes of the Hanlin mansion… Besides, this matter is not here, the Hanlin Mansion is embarrassed, we come to propose marriage, they feel that we are begging them, and the daughter belongs to the next marriage, so the lion speaks out. It’s just that they don’t want to spread the word about selling their daughter. Go out, let’s find someone to make peace, it may backfire.”

    Liu Changgeng nodded: “Xuer is right.”

    He said sadly: “Then what should I do?” Xiuxiu has already made it clear that it is impossible, and now she is anxious again, her son is not too young ! He and Willow are twins, the trees are married, and the second child has not yet landed!

    Liu Changgeng stretched out her hand and carefully took down the needle in her hand: “You can be careful, don’t poke anyone casually.”

    He turned his head and glared at him.

    Liu Lin suddenly ran out.

    Liu Shu was about to chase when Liu Xuer hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold him and said with a smile, “No need to chase… Maybe you need to find a way to ask Song Yao, this is what the second brother asks Whether it’s clear or not, we can also know who is causing the trouble in their Hanlin Mansion!”

    The willow tree was dumb, and it took a long time to press her nose hard: “How can you still laugh!”

    Liu Xuer was taken aback and shouted: “Oh! My nose!”

     Immediately, Liu Sen was made to laugh and roll over the kang. The dignified and almost stagnant atmosphere in the room dissipated in a blink of an eye. these kids.

    Liu Shu didn’t expect that he would hurt her by pressing her casually, so he smiled and apologized, so Shao Rong laughed too, and the whole family laughed.

    Liu Xuer guessed right, Liu Lin really went to Song Yao to ask about the situation. In fact, he didn’t need to take the initiative to look for it. Song Yao was already anxious to find him and make it clear, so when he arrived at the shop, sure enough, the nanny came and brought a letter written by Song Yao – now Song Yao also Don’t dare to go out.

    Liu Lin opened it, and sure enough, Song Yao’s sister-in-law came up with the idea, and the one who echoed it was Song Yao’s mother, that is, the first mother. The eldest young master basically didn’t express his opinion, he just didn’t care about it. What I told the matchmaker was to leave it to the eldest young master to manage, but in fact it fell into the hands of Song Yao’s sister-in-law!

    Song Yao also felt guilty in the letter, and she did not expect that the eldest young lady could put forward such conditions. I also said that telling Liu Lin not to agree to this condition is equivalent to asking for money explicitly. If he agrees, maybe it will be endless in the future. There will be more and more!

    Liu Lin was speechless when she read the letter, and was extremely annoyed. Song Yao’s letter can also be seen between the lines, she is also very angry, she must not let Liu Lin fall for this! It’s just that she has no idea what to do if she doesn’t agree.

    The people in the family are also discussing ways to find a way these days. Liu Changgeng and He’s discussed it, and they called Liu Shu to ask, how much money did the silk shop spend in total?

    Liu Shu knew what she knew, and said: “A total of seven hundred taels and up, together with rent, purchases, shop repairs, etc.”

    Liu Changgeng and Mrs He looked at each other and said: “Seven hundred taels of silver, but it’s also… After all, she is a rich lady, in their eyes, don’t you think it’s not much? It’s alright.”

    Liu Lin came in from the outside, shook his head and said: “No, this is not a betrothal silver, it’s a betrothal gift, they will still ask for a betrothal fee, maybe the betrothal fee is another five hundred two, eight hundred taels. Yes, I can’t take out my entire family for the sake of getting married.” He didn’t say anything else, the eldest brother gave the eldest sister-in-law a dowry of 200 taels, and he could never exceed this dowry, no matter who he married.

    Liu Changgeng said: “But the other side will definitely not agree, so what should we do?”

    Liu Lin said: “Think of a way… I can’t give it anyway, and I won’t give it either.”

    Liu Xuer nodded: “Yes, I can’t give it, what’s the difference between this and blackmail?”

    He started to be anxious again, and said: “I originally said that this young lady from the Hanlin Mansion is not the same as us! I just didn’t listen, now it’s okay…”

    Liu Changgeng hurriedly cut off her words, and hurriedly pulled her with a smile: “What nonsense are you talking about… negotiate, there is always a way for the whole family to discuss…”

    Liu Xuer has also pulled the second brother out: “Yes, yes! There is always a way to negotiate!”

    Liu Shu also came in, and when she went to the door, she turned her head and saw Liu Sen walking slowly behind her, scratching her head, knowing that he was definitely not interested, so he said, “Go and do your own thing. …But you are careful with me these days! No one cares about you, I see you are starting to move around again!”

    Liu Sen stuck his tongue out and ran: “I didn’t shake! I’m going to read… and what.”

    Liu Shun didn’t pay attention to what Liu Sen said and added a suffix. Now he can take care of him, he followed into Liu Lin’s house, and quickly said: “Think of a way, Mother is also in a hurry, don’t… think too much.”

    Liu Lin sat down and sighed: “How can I not know my mother’s temper, I don’t think too much…” After pondering for a while, he said to Liu Xuer, “Is there anything you can do?”

    Liu Xuer also sat down, blinking her eyes and said, “Not yet, or I will call Shicheng to discuss it.”

    The willow tree sat down and said: “Alright, Shicheng has many ideas, I asked him to think about whether he could not give the shop, and also handle the marriage.” Thinking about it again, he took a look outside, Seeing that Shao Rong didn’t come in, she said softly, “Liu Lin, you don’t have to compare yourself to me. Your sister-in-law’s situation is different from Song Yao, and she definitely won’t compare to this, so…”

    Liu Lin shook his head: “The bride price will definitely not be higher than that of the sister-in-law. I didn’t say that, no matter what her family thinks, I don’t feel that I am climbing high.” After a pause, he continued: “But I still want to marry Song Yao.”

     Catkins and Willows all laughed.

    Liu Lin also smiled and said, “Actually, the first sentence eldest brother just said is right, how can you not give it to the shop, but also take care of it?”

    Liu Xuer also pondered, and turned to look at the willow tree, and the willow tree wondered: “What am I doing?”

    For a long time, Liu Xuer asked with a smile: “Brother, you avenged my sister-in-law, did you get closer to the magistrate? The magistrate…is your relationship good?”

    Liu Shu faintly felt as if she knew what she was thinking, nodded and said all honestly: “Yeah, it’s a little bit closer, what’s going on in Niangou Village, as soon as I come to me I don’t want to involve too many people, but I also want to treat him, so the county magistrate really needs help in this regard.”

    “Is the county magistrate so cooperative?” Liu Xuer asked with a smile: “Did it give any benefit?”

     Willow smiled: “I want to give it, but he doesn’t want it, implying that I’m a mere honest, it really doesn’t take much effort, and it also implies that he really wants to make friends with me… I thought about it. , probably because I am the eldest of our family, three scholars, plus four Shicheng, except me, all the others are my younger brother or brother-in-law, he just needs to get along better with me, no matter who our family is in the future If you are a juror, you won’t be able to be an official, and he can talk to us.”

    Liu Xuer nodded: “The magistrate is not big, but if you want to climb up, you have enough brains, and you have to make various relationships from the beginning… In this case, if we If you have anything to ask him, as long as it’s not too much, he will definitely be able to help.”

    Liu Lin blinked and listened, and seemed to understand a little.

    The willow tree nodded and said jokingly: “Actually, it’s okay to be a little too much. It is said that the previous backer is also a yamen, but it has not yet reached the point of flattering the county magistrate. A county magistrate’s master or a clerk as a backer has already made him arrogant and arrogant. He does too much in the village? Bullying the good and bullying others, almost to the point of bullying men and women.” Liu Shu Said: “What can we do too much? We will never bully others.”

    Liu Xuer pondered and said with a smile: “Brother, don’t say it, I really want to taste what it’s like to bully people this time… Be a bully!”
