What a loud tone!
The peanuts on Lin Qingge's chopsticks fell directly onto the plate.
What is the concept of one hundred thousand taels of silver?
Not to mention a mere Zheng Ning, even if he dug up all the ancestral graves of the old Zheng family and asked them to work hard for ten years, he still wouldn't get that much wages!
If there was really a brilliant person in the old Zheng family, Mrs. Yue would not be allowed to bring her daughter out to beg for food.
It's a pity that those who beg for food still look down on those who give money.
Mrs. Yue glanced at Lin Qingge and said disdainfully: "Aunt, even if Feng'er is unconscious now, we still have to follow the rules at home. Making such a big noise at the dinner table, like the above? What if this is a communication? Leave it to me and punish her without eating for at least three days!"
Mrs. Chu frowned slightly.
Even though Mrs. Yue asked her to prepare a dowry for Zheng Ning, she didn't take it seriously.
But if you criticize Lin Qingge, you can’t pretend you haven’t heard it!
"The Zheng family has such rules, why didn't their daughter prepare a dowry when she got married? Why, is it because Zheng Hong's salary is not enough, or he married too many aunts, and they have all been divided. So the daughter of the head wife wants to get married, and she has to go to a relative's house to do it. ?”
After a series of words, Lin Qing singer completely put down his chopsticks.
If Mrs. Yue's face hadn't turned green, she would have really wanted to stand up and applaud!
Why didn't I know before that Mrs. Chu was so accurate and ruthless in attacking people, she just stabbed them in the spine!
Zheng Hong was just a seventh-grade minister, with a low official position and a low salary, and he was also a womanizer. There were aunts in the yard one after another, so his life was naturally stretched.
Mrs. Yue is a good-looking woman and never talks about these things. She just tries to find a way to go back to her parents' home to enjoy the autumn breeze.
Of course, she didn't want less from the Chu family.
Now that Chu Nanfeng is unconscious, she is even more complacent in the Chu family.
Mrs. Chu has never cared about it, but she has forgotten that Mrs. Chu has never been a soft persimmon for everyone!
It's just that Mrs. Yue doesn't have Mrs. Chu's intelligence and skill, but she has Mrs. Chu's temper.
She was dissatisfied and said: "Auntie, what are you talking about? You know the situation of the Chu family best now. Besides me, who else frequents you? Ning'er will definitely treat you as her own grandmother in the future To support..."
here we go again.
Lin Qingge felt that Mrs. Yue was really stupid!
At the same time, she didn't understand how such a wise Mrs. Chu could teach Madam Yue to be so stupid.
But naturally this kind of thing cannot be said openly at this time.
She coughed to hide her smile, but it only caused Madam Yue to be even more dissatisfied.
"What is your attitude? Lin Qingge, you are the general's wife, but you are also a junior!"
"Yes, yes," Lin Qingge nodded obediently, "Auntie said that I am indeed your junior. Who made me Nan Feng's daughter-in-law?"
Not only do I want to say that Mrs. Chu has no juniors to support her, but I also want to say that both Chu Nanfeng and Lin Qingge are her juniors. How can there be such a good thing?
Mrs. Yue was even more angry after being rebuffed like this.
But she was really used to taking advantage, and she even said aloud: "Qing Ge, your sister is getting married, and the dowry is not even close. You, the sister-in-law, can't stand by and watch, right? In Qiu Lie's gambling, you make a lot of money. Got a lot of money."
When she said 'silver', her eyes lit up.
Lin Qingge really doubted at that moment whether the money she got was her own money or Mrs. Yue's money?
"Then I don't know which family Ning'er is married to? I heard that my aunt has discussed marriage with the ladies of several families, but it has never been successful. I can't go outside the house and ask her which family she has married to, right? "
What these words say is that the yin and yang is extremely strange.
The key is that Mrs. Yue has always wanted Zheng Ning to marry a higher person, and she has actually discussed it with several ladies.
If Lin Qingge was really allowed to go out and make a fuss, Zheng Ning's reputation would be ruined, let alone marrying high!
Immediately her face turned pale, and she stepped forward to slap Lin Qingge, but Lin Qingge held her arm down and pinched her.
"Auntie, you are an elder. Naturally, I dare not disobey you. But if you come to sow discord between me and my grandmother from time to time, is it too much?"
Zheng Ning wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Lin Qingge's look.
"Cousin, we don't want to embarrass you, but your dowry was prepared by your parents. If you kneel down and call me mother, I can consider preparing it. But you have to think clearly, you are just an ordinary person, not a princess. You have to weigh the amount yourself."
Lin Qingge pushed Mrs. Yue aside casually and said to Shiqi who walked in: "Send them back to Zheng's house and tell them about the family boss. If they continue to make trouble, they will use new tricks."
Mrs. Yue still wanted to resist, but Shi Qi saw that he was unhappy a long time ago, and led a few people to drag Mrs. Yue and Zheng Ning out without even giving them a chance to cry!
As they left, it finally became quiet.
But Lin Qingge felt a lot of Mrs. Chu's eyes on her, and she couldn't help but thought: "Grandma?"
"Qingge, you are a straightforward girl, so you have no problem handling things. It's just..."
After Mrs. Chu thought carefully, she slowly spoke: "Gold and silver are good things, but if you suddenly have too many of them, it will attract covetousness from all sides. And your silver is too easy to come by. , and will be jealous of others."
Lin Qingge thought of this problem on the way back to Beijing.
At this time, Mrs. Chu said this, and she immediately responded: "Grandma, I have thought about this matter. Isn't the border war tense? This money is dedicated to your majesty and paid to the national treasury, so that the disaster can be solved."
"That's what you say, but if you spend so much money, whose kindness will you let the world remember?"
this……
Giving kindness without repaying it is preaching, but it is not reality.
What's more, grace is given by Emperor Zhou, and if it is given by others, it is not a favor, but a disaster!
She frowned slightly: "Grandma said that this matter needs to be considered in the long term."
…
Mrs. Yue and Zheng Ning were dragged all the way back to Zheng's house. Their clothes were messy and they had many scratches on their bodies.
The boy at the door was stunned when he saw it, and called Zheng Hong out directly.
Before he could ask, Shi Qi spoke: "If Mr. Zheng continues to allow his wife and daughter to make trouble in the general's mansion, I'm afraid what he sends back next time will not be complete."
Throwing away the cold and threatening words, he turned and left.
Zheng Hong still couldn't recover: "Then Lin Qingge made a lot of money, didn't I ask you to please her? What's going on with you?"
Madam Yue held Zheng Ning in her arms and looked at Zheng Hong while crying: "You also know that we went to the Chu family for you! After suffering such great grievances, why don't you help our mother and daughter vent their anger?"
"what happens?"
"They... they were too stingy. When I asked them for the dowry for Ning'er, they kicked us out!"
"How much do you want?"
"Eighty, eighty thousand taels of silver." Mrs. Yue was also a little weak and her voice dropped.
Zheng Hong smiled instead of being angry: "What do you think your daughter is? Eighty thousand taels of silver, you can't say it! Don't you usually say that your aunt is very kind to you? You can go and ask for it tomorrow! If If we don’t get the money back, you two won’t have to stay at Zheng’s house anymore!”
