Lin Hai came over for dinner, so I had to listen to his reaction. However, when eating out, poor Baoyu kept drinking soup and didn't move his chopsticks at all. Jia She and Jia Zheng just looked at Lin Hai eating, and both of them had bad attitudes.
"Um, Xiong Xing, don't you like it?" Lin Hai hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to eat something, but seeing the three people from the Jia family, he didn't dare.
"Eat quickly, the old lady will ask you questions later." Jia She didn't give him a good face. The main reason was that Jia She was the one who knew how to do business. Even if he was a good candidate, he would not give him a good face. I feel that it is not that he has done a good job, but that the Jia family is magnanimous.
Now Lin Hai couldn't eat anymore. The old lady never gave him a good face. However, the old lady raised her daughter well. Including Jia Min's dowry. After Jia Zheng came to Lin Hai, Lin Hai was so angry that he jumped up and down. Do I care about your dowry?
Jia Zheng ignored him and gave him the dowry list directly, "We will pay for the amount of money used for my sister's funeral. Make up for the dowry, seal it, and go to the Yamen for filing."
Lin Hai was so angry that he had no choice but to ask for money from the Jia family for the funeral? If he dared to ask for it, he would not be able to survive in official circles.
When the Lin family gave Jia Min the betrothal gift, the Jia family didn't take it, and gave it as a dowry to Jia Min. Jia Min's own share was that of the legitimate daughter of two generations of princes, so when they were cleaning up, they even let Daiyu watch it together. Hold on, tell her not to be stupid, these are what she will use in the future.
Lin Hai was moved by the way Daiyu led people to collect it. He felt that this was part of the old lady's re-education for her granddaughter. It was also very important to learn to manage her own property, so he followed the old lady's instructions. , were put into the warehouse and sealed one by one. They were Jia Min's private property and had nothing to do with the Lin family. The Lin family had no heirs. According to law, half of it must be included in the family and half should be used as a dowry for the daughter.
The problem is that the Lin family has no family! Lin Hai would actually not be happy if he declared that he was a virgin and wanted to have a son-in-law. He has been an official for many years, and almost none of his sons-in-law have good results. It's better to do what your mother-in-law did, even if you just take your wife's dowry and marry into a good family, your life will be easier.
Now, he is even more flattering to the Yue family. If there is no one in the Lin family, his daughter will have to rely on the brothers and sisters of the Yue family no matter what in the future. Lin Hai was now, unconsciously, lowering himself to the Jia family. He had never felt this when Jia Min was around.
Finally, the old lady sent word that they could be let in, so Lin Hai shuddered. He was a little worried about his mother-in-law.
The old lady was the only one in the inner room, so the female family members naturally had to avoid her, including Sister Lin, who was also taken away.
Lin Hai bowed obediently to the old lady, who nodded.
"I have met Mr. Xiong, and I like him. His eyes are clean and he is professional, which is great. However, I am not sure that he and Yuan'er are suitable. Yuan'er's temperament means that she can do whatever she wants to marry into. She is very good, but she has suffered too much, and I am not willing to let her suffer anymore. So I like Mr. Xiong, but I have to make Yuan'er like him." Ou Mengmeng was too lazy to be polite to Lin Hai, so she asked He stood up and sat down, then said bluntly.
Lin Hai looked at Jia She, he didn't understand this.
"Mother, what do you think about this?" Jia She hesitated for a moment. He heard what his mother meant and wanted Yuanchun to contact Xiong Xing himself. Is this feasible?
"I want to open a medicine shop. There are too many servants in the house, and the 18-year-old men in the clan can't find anything to do. This won't work. So think about it, Mr. Xiong is also the one who knows medical skills, so why not Please ask Xianggong Xiong for help? Please hire a doctor who can help the house find Ping Ping Pulse. Normally, just take those men to learn how to identify medicines and medicine. That is not something that can be done in a day. "
Lin Hai hesitated for a moment and thought about it, "Mother-in-law, isn't this bad? For the sake of Yuan'er's reputation, the son-in-law should have had a private chat with Bachelor Xiong, and then if the Xiong family was interested, the princess would send a message to invite my mother-in-law during the filial piety period. After that, I brought Yuan'er to the house as a guest. We were interested in each other, and we gave them the gift of engagement, and then let them meet in private. Let's talk about important matters, adults."
"No, I won't let Yuan'er marry an insensitive man. So, I want them to meet first. If Yuan'er thinks this person is suitable, we will proceed as you said. If not, forget it." Ou Mengmeng shook her head, very calmly.
"Second uncle!" Lin Hai is really going to die, and he is not so unruly. "If word gets out, Yuan'er..."
"Then what do you want us adults to do? We have to help them keep a tight check. If that man's mouth is not strict, it will be of no use in the future." Jia She understood what the old lady just said. The sister's sorrow is that she is married. An insensitive guy. The problem is that even today, this guy still doesn't know what the problem is. So the old lady can't let her granddaughter suffer like this.
"If my sister-in-law is not confident, just change someone else and pick a few more. After all, we are not in a hurry." Jia Zheng thought about it and put his love for his daughter first.
Lin Hai was speechless. He really felt that the Jia family was still the same lawless family as before.
"How about my son handle this matter?" Jia Zheng looked at Lin Hai and said hurriedly to the old lady.
"Okay, you should still have some rare books related to the record of clearing wrongs in your library. It's just a good time to test Xiong Xing. Our family doesn't need someone who can be an official. It's good for professionals to do professional things. You can't be a son-in-law, and you can be a treasure. He is also a good mentor and helpful friend." Ou Mengmeng nodded hurriedly and pointed at Baoyu.
Baoyu was stunned, and it was none of his own business. Why? Holding his little chest, he knew that his grandmother didn't like him as much as before, but he couldn't say that her grandmother didn't like him. So when I think about it, I am very confused.
"You have to know that the world is made up of all kinds of professionals doing professional things. You can live a good life now because your uncle and father have worked so hard for it. And everyone walks around Beijing so safely every day because there are many People like Xiong Xianggong stand before sin and evil for us. So, you don’t need to learn, but you need to know that as beautiful as the world is, there are as many sins as there are, and between the beauty and the sin, there are countless people Become a human barrier. You want to become friends with these human backbones, you know?"
"The backbone of the world?" Lin Hai was startled. He didn't expect that the old lady had such a high opinion of Xiong Xing.
"I respect all such professionals." Ou Mengmeng sighed, "Okay, you can go back. Daiyu wants to play with her sisters. You can pick her up in a few days."
Seeing the old lady like this, Lin Hai also knew that even though he had selected a good candidate for the Jia family, he was still a hateful person in the old lady's heart. I could only bow honestly and come out dejected.
Jia Zheng looked at Lin Hai, a little embarrassed. After all, he had found a good candidate for his daughter, so he smiled at him and said, "Yu'er can rest assured here."
"That uncle, let them meet in private..." Lin Hai still wanted to persuade.
"Brother-in-law, I heard that you are good at painting. I dare to ask, do you have a portrait of my sister?" Jia She gave Jia Zheng a roll of his eyes, lightly touched his beard, and gave him a fake smile, "Maybe. Once you finish the painting, mother will forgive you."
"Is that okay? Then I'll paint when I get back." Lin Hai was attracted by the attention and asked hurriedly.
"You go back and paint first!" Jia Changchang said coldly with a face.
Lin Hai didn't know why he changed his face, but he still went out in embarrassment.
"So mother is right, no matter what, we can't let Yuan'er marry such an insensitive person." Jia Zheng said through gritted teeth.
A talented man who is good at painting does not even have a portrait of his wife. My sister has really been a dog-feeder for twenty years.
I spent eleven dollars and used mobile points to watch six episodes. It was okay, not that embarrassing, but not that good either. The heroine's character in this drama is too similar to the previous one, and she didn't even change her hairstyle. Nowadays, I don't really like the hype about real couples. Yang Yang doesn't feel like he has any breakthrough, just stay handsome. I feel a little sad for him.
