chapter 009

He was so scared that he shouted: "Aqing, don't do stupid things!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Chun and the older ones pulled out a silver hairpin and pointed it at their throats.

He said to Mrs. Lin: "We sisters are willing to show our ambitions by death!"

Yujie is still young and has a bag of hair. She only has a few silk flowers on her head, and there is no hairpin.

He couldn't even imitate a few sisters, so he jumped in a hurry. He asked his elder sister Yuchun to give her a hairpin, and she also wanted to show her ambitions with death.

He was anxious and knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Lin: "Old lady, please let Sister Aqing follow me to leave the Lin family."

Mrs. Lin was so angry that she couldn't speak.

The county magistrate's wife looked extremely cold: "If the old lady really pitys Sister Aqing, let them live a life, otherwise everything was just a show."

The county magistrate’s wife stood up, and Mrs. Lin had to agree with hatred.

Next is to return He's dowry.

At that time, He married Lin Youwen and Hongzhuang, who doesn’t know about Nanping County?

It is not easy for the Lin family to deny it, but they try every means to talk less.

He was so angry that he argued with Lin Youwen and his son. Old Lady Lin said she remembered wrongly, and Lin Youwen was even more overdoing, saying that she blackmailed their Lin family.

Yuqing said coldly: "Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin don't have to be so angry. It's not clear how much dowry is.

The head of the Lin clan and several Zong elders were all insiders, so I just need to ask them if they were enough.”

At that time, He's father refused to marry He to Lin Youwen and wanted to regret the marriage, but He refused.

Mr. He couldn't resist her and had to agree.

Because He married far away, Mr. He was not optimistic about Lin Youwen, and was afraid that she would be bullied by her in-laws after marrying her, so he gave He a generous dowry.

At that time, the Lin family was so poor that Mr. He was afraid that the Lin family would embezzle the dowry he gave to his daughter.

Therefore, when he sent his son to send He's marriage, he repeatedly told his son to find a few reliable clan elders in the Lin family to count and record the amount and value of the dowry.

In this way, even if the Lin family wants to take He's dowry, they cannot do it too much.

Although Mr. He was worried about his only daughter, he was not as good as God's. He never expected that his family would be killed and left with orphans to be bullied.

Upon hearing this, the county magistrate's wife asked the county magistrate to invite all the leaders of the Lin clan and Zong Lao who were informed.

The older ones and unable to walk were carried by the yamen runners.

Those old men came, and they all said everything, saying everything, saying everything about He's dowry.

Moreover, there are still accounts for the head of the Lin clan, and Lin Youwen and his son cannot deny it any longer.

Yuqing understood why these old men told the truth so readily because Lin Youwen and her son were rich and unkind, and they acted like nouveau riche.

Since the death of He's father's family, Lin Youwen thought he had seen the light of day and never respected the clan leader and the elders during festivals. He always looked rich and arrogant in front of them.

These old men have long been dissatisfied with him, but now they are rich and powerful, and even if they have resentment, they can do nothing.

But now that the county magistrate’s wife is ahead, they naturally seize the opportunity to repair the Lin family’s mother and son.

Now that things have come to this point, it is impossible for Lin Youwen and his son to resist the deduction of He's dowry, so they had to agree to return them all.

It was not until this time that the He family and the daughter and everyone realized that Lin Youwen was not what they saw, but a business genius.

Although he borrowed the chicken to lay eggs with He's generous dowry, he didn't lay many eggs. The scenery of their Lin family mainly relied on cooperation with usury to make money.

The profits of doing business and the sharing of loans are almost all spent on daily extravagant expenses.

In recent years, Lin Youwen has only earned hundreds of acres of fertile land and the big house she lives in now.

The reason why Mrs. He wants to return her dowry is equivalent to emptiing the Lin family's family's assets. No wonder Mrs. Lin said that she doesn't want Mrs. He to leave the Lin family.

The dowry of He's dowry, such as brocade cloth, had been worn by the Lin family and others, and he had to pay the price for He's discount.

There are also various precious furniture occupied by Mrs. Lin and two concubines, and the jewelry and faces must be returned to He.

The gold and silver that were given to the dowry had to be returned in full, and Lin Youwen had to raise the money.

So although the county magistrate has sentenced Lin Youwen to pay He’s dowry, he couldn’t get it today and had to wait for five days.

It was already the time to take the lights, and Yuqing asked Lin Youwen for 100 taels of silver and fifty taels of broken silver in her hand.

The reason for some silver is to make money convenient.

In ancient times, let alone silver, even copper was very valuable, and a handful of vegetables was only sold for one or two cents.

She would always go out with a ingot of silver and buy a steamed bun. When someone wanted to ask her for a big push of copper, she had to spend time counting it, so she asked for some broken silver.

After getting the money, Yuqing wanted to take her mother and sister to find an inn to settle down, and then she would discuss what to do in the future if her mother and daughter were going to do.

Although the county magistrate's wife was fierce, she was very willing to help others when she was right, and she insisted on keeping the He family and her daughter to stay in her house for a while.

He also ordered people to go to the Lin Mansion and brought all the things that belonged to her mother and daughter.

It was hard to refuse the affection, so He had to complain and stayed in the backyard of the county government with several daughters.

When having meals at night, the county magistrate naturally could not sit at the same table with the female family, and the father and son had a meal in the front yard.

However, all the four young men came to pay homage to He.

Although the county magistrate is not a good person, he is handsome and his four young men are naturally not bad either.

In particular, the eldest son Shen Zhaohan is an outstanding figure and elegant and handsome.

When Shen Zhaohan greeted He, his little eyes couldn't help but glance at the four sisters Yuqing, and stayed on Yuqing and Yuchun for a few more moments.

Yuqing comes from modern society, and there is no saying that men and women are very good at defending each other.

What's more, he grew up with his hair, and his toenails could be stretched to his hair for him to cut it. Compared with ancient women, he was so thick-skinned that he looked like a city wall.

Not to mention being looked at by a boy, even if she looked at it countless times, she remained unmoved.

But the eldest sister Yu Chun is different. He has taught her female training since she was a child and instilled in the idea of ​​three obedience and four virtues. When he saw the man looking at her, his face was blushed with shame and his eyes were lowered.

Her shy appearance made Shen Zhaohan and his younger brothers retreat and couldn't help but look back at her.

After dinner, Mrs. Shen accompanied He for a while and left considerately, so that she and her daughter could talk to each other.

From now on, they must discuss how they live in the future.

Yuqing spent a quarter of an hour under the oil lamp to read the dowry list that Lin Youwen had to pay.

After thinking about it, I calculated it in my mind that I should have five or six thousand taels of silver.
