Yu Pinyan didn't speak, but while playing with his younger sister Bai Nen's little hand, he glanced at Lin Shi faintly, seeing that she lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, she was probably very unwilling, her already cold heart no longer felt it. How could he appreciate the idea of a dowry? But I just want to weigh myself in Lin's heart. As expected, Lin did not disappoint him, choosing to abandon him every time.
Standing at the door, Nanny Jin saw the frost gradually gathering in Master Hou's eyes, anxious like ants on a hot pot, she wished she could run over and press Lin Shi and nodded in agreement. What is a little dowry? Is it important to have Lord Hou's heart? After being protected by Lord Hou, do you want anything in the future? Ma'am really don't know how to think about it!
Where is Lin's reluctance to give Yu Pinyan, but she is reluctant to give Yu Siyu and Yu Xiang, so she can't help but look at the old lady, her eyes revealing her prayers.
Before the old lady could speak, Yu Pinyan let out a low laugh, "Old Ancestor, no need. I don't dare to take her things, so as not to complain later."
Yu Xiang immediately opened her mouth to object, "How can it be done, this is what my brother deserves, how can Yu Miaoqi be taken advantage of..."
Yu Pinyan squeezed the tender flesh on the side of her cheek, and said with a smile, "Okay, Xiang'er, I have nothing to argue with them. What do you want, my brother can't get it for you? Pearls and corals from the East China Sea, gems and spices from the Western Regions, everything in the world Yes, my brother can give it to you with both hands. She should keep that little thing for herself, so she can live a better life in the future, right?"
Speaking such arrogant words from other people's mouths may cause ridicule, but it is very convincing when uttered from Yu Pinyan's mouth. He is the most powerful figure in the Great Han Kingdom except for the emperor and prince, and getting a promise from him is more precious than any other treasure.
Yu Miaoqi and Yu Siyu's jealous eyes turned red. Yu Xiang curled her lips and complained, "That's different. It was originally yours. I just love you. They are all my own. Why do you treat them so differently? Without you, the Hou Mansion would have collapsed long ago. The dowry must also be looted. She is enjoying the good life you gave her, so why stand here and shout at you. We didn't embezzle her dowry on purpose, she is also a member of the Hou family, shouldn't she make an effort?!"
Mrs. Lin couldn't lift her head when she was told, but she couldn't refute a word. She was torn and tangled in her heart, but she saw her son standing up with Yu Xiang in his arms, with a smile on his face and an extremely gentle tone, "Good Xiang'er, I know you love brother .Brother, eight-foot man, do you still covet her little thing? If you don't take it, you won't be confused in the future." After speaking, he glanced at Yu Miaoqi pointedly.
Yu Xiang stopped talking immediately, and lay on his shoulder and waved goodbye to the old lady.
Knowing that the two brothers and sisters were getting impatient, the old lady didn't want to keep them, and asked someone to send them out, and then turned to look at Lin with a blank expression, "Since neither Yan'er nor Xiang'er is willing to take your things, you can give them to me." Siyu, let’s share some. When your children get married, whether it’s dowry or dowry, you, the head of the house, should prepare everything, don’t you think so? Don’t you just think about taking power and not fulfilling your obligations? Then you should return the gift as soon as possible. Xiang'er, you can't even compare to a child who hasn't reached the age of Ji, all the salt and rice you've eaten all these years has been eaten into the dog's stomach."
Lin was ashamed to death, she didn't dare to raise her head, but still bit her lip and didn't let go. Yu Siyu's mother ruined her dream-like married life. It was kind of her not to throw Yu Siyu to the countryside to fend for herself. How could she give her a dowry
Yu Miaoqi knew the trick, got up from the ground with difficulty, and gently tugged on Lin's sleeve.
The old lady doesn't care whether Mrs. Lin is willing or not, since she dared to make trouble at the door today, she must dig out a few pieces of her flesh and blood to let her go. , Ningwang Street, and the four shops in Huaniaofang were all given to Siyu, and the three farms in Shanghe Village, Xiahe Village, and Yangjiaping plus 200 hectares of fertile land were all given to Siyu as a dowry. In a year and a half, Siyu You should go out too."
Lin's eyes were tearing when she heard that, even though she hadn't left home for a long time, she still remembered that these shops and farms were the most profitable, and the rest of the shops and farms couldn't keep up with these few. If you really want to give it to Yu Siyu, it's like stealing a piece of her heart, and the blood can't stop dripping.
She was about to open her mouth to refute, but Yu Siyu quickly stood up and saluted, and said with a smile, "Thank you ancestors, thank you mother! Such a deep love, Siyu may not forget." God has gone.
It was rare for the old lady to see her pleasing to the eye, and waved her hand, "Okay, you go back, and I will ask your mother to take out the land deed when you get married."
Yu Siyu repeatedly agreed, and left in a hurry without looking at Mrs. Lin, for fear that something would happen if she walked too slowly.
Not long after Yu Miaoqi sat down, she knelt down again, sincerely apologizing for her mother. She didn't expect Yu Xiang to dig such a big hole to induce herself to jump down. Weidao Chengkang didn't embellish and make up for the shortfalls of 21 years ago, but laid it out for people to check.
It was Lin and himself who were too eager to deal with her, otherwise this wouldn't have happened. It turned out that the Hou Mansion was so turbulent before I returned home, but Lin seemed to be a transparent person, not caring about it or asking. This temperament is really cowardly to the extreme, even Shen Shi is a hundred times stronger than her.
Yu Miaoqi kowtowed while introspecting, and felt that she still had a lot to understand, and she could no longer stand out rashly like today.
Seeing her banging her head, Mrs. Lin felt sorry for her, so she quickly pulled her up and knelt down by herself.
What the old lady hates the most is the show of mother-daughter love between the two. If you still have maternal love for your child, what have you been doing for the past fourteen years? When Yan'er was poisoned and dying, you just nodded and said 'I got it'. Who are you showing it to now
The old lady's expression was not calm, but even more gloomy. She sneered, "Stop knocking, I can't afford your big gift. Yan'er refuses to accept your things, which means he refuses to recognize you. Are you happy now? In the future, just keep your dowry and live a good life with Yu Miaoqi, and you will only have a bunch of dead things and her left. Oh, no, you still have the memorial tablet of Junjie, but you put Yaner aside for fourteen years , do you dare to kneel in front of Junjie’s grave and ask him what he thinks of you? What have you accomplished as husband and son, hard work in housekeeping? Just wait until Huangquan Junjie finds you to settle the score!”
Lin kept kowtow to admit his mistake, and after hearing this, his whole body became stiff and his heart felt as if a knife had been twisted.
Yu Miaoqi felt both embarrassed and resentful. There is another hidden meaning in the old lady's words, which is to completely separate Lin and her from Yu Pinyan. She lived with Lin and had nothing to do with Yu Pinyan in the future. How did this work? Doesn't her status in her husband's family depend on Yu Pinyan? How could she gain a foothold in her husband's family without the support of her mother's family
Yu Miaoqi was about to say a few words when Mammy Ma and some old women came in carrying two red lacquered wooden boxes. The old lady winked, and they threw the box in front of them with a bang, and then backed away silently.
"In case there is another problem with the account book, you don't have to deal with it. Just read it in my room. You are not allowed to go back until you have finished reading it. In late autumn, bring a bucket of lamp oil over here for emergencies."
Late Autumn made her promise, and quietly exited the room.
The old lady knocked on the box with her cane, and said in a stern tone, "Look now, I will take care of it if there is a problem!"
Lin's expression was dull, and she hadn't woken up from her mother-in-law's sharp words like a knife. What was on her mind was what her late husband thought of her. Instead, Yu Miaoqi calmed down, opened the lid of the box and took out the account books, stacking them at Lin's feet.
The old lady took a deep look at her and went out with a cane.
The heavy and slow footsteps left, and Yu Miaoqi fell limply on the ground. She took a few breaths and got up quickly. She moved the abacus to the front and flipped through it while doing calculations. Mu Ran stared wide.
She thought that she was very shrewd and capable when she followed Shen's father to travel all over the world at the age of seven or eight, but Yu Xiang's ability was far superior to hers. Not to mention, the improved account book alone is very extraordinary. The terms and conditions are made into a form, and she lists all the details in the form, such as output, input, payee, undertaker, receipt, remarks, and others. In the middle, it is clear and clear with just a glance.
These account books are extremely clean, and because of her good management, the Yongle Hou Mansion, which was originally unable to make ends meet, gradually came out of the gloom, and it has a surplus year after year.
No wonder the old lady admired her so much, no wonder Yu Pinyan doted on her so much, it was not without reason. When she admitted this, Yu Miaoqi's heart, which was already corroded by jealousy, seemed to be soaked in magma, and it burned badly, and a thought of never admitting defeat took root in her mind.
She wants to be the head of the house, let the old lady and Yu Pinyan see who is better, who is the real daughter of the Hou family!
Yu Pinyan was walking with his younger sister in the warm and bright spring, and when his younger sister reached out to caress the flowers, he took them off and stuck them on her temples, his eyes very focused.
Yu Xiang also picked one and stuck it in her brother's temple, and she tightened her grip on his brother's neck to prevent him from taking it off. Seeing that he had no choice but to compromise, she pursed her lips and smirked.
The two looked at each other forehead to forehead, and they both saw complete joy in each other's eyes.
"Brother, are you really happy? Aren't you sad that Mrs. Lin treated you like that?" After hesitating for a long time, Yu Xiang spoke slowly.
"I don't feel it." Yu Pin said indifferently, and then asked, "What about you? Are you sad?"
"I don't feel it either. The only person in this world who can make me sad is my brother. If one day my brother doesn't want me, I will be sad to death!" When she said the word 'death', she deliberately emphasized the pronunciation. This is not rhetorical hyperbole, but death in the true sense. She is the soul of another world. Her roots are not in the soil of the Han Dynasty, but in the soul of Yu Pinyan. If Yu Pinyan abandons her, she will naturally wither slowly.
Yu Pinyan's eyes dimmed, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Why? Even if I don't want my own life, I won't want Xiang'er. As I said, Xiang'er is my lifeblood."
Yu Xiang leaned into his ear and whispered word by word, "Brother, you are also my lifeblood, the person I like the most in this world." After saying that, she quickly kissed him on the cheek, then pursed her lips Happy.
Yu Pinyan was shocked in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he ordered in a low voice, "Kiss one more time, or my brother will throw you away."
Yu Xiang smiled brightly and leaned closer to kiss again, but he didn't expect him to turn his head suddenly, and the kiss that should have landed on the side of the cheek slipped past the corner of his lips. Yu Xiang didn't take it seriously, but Yu Pinyan deeply remembered the soft touch and hot temperature on her lips, and her eyes were as deep as the sea for a moment.
Liu Lu, who followed behind the two, set off a stormy sea in her heart. Although she was an innocent little girl, she gradually became aware of the strangeness. The eyes that Marquis Gein looked at his master became hotter and hotter day by day, which could set people on fire.
They are indeed brothers and sisters, right? Liu Lu began to think desperately about this question.
