Chapter 424: White Wolf with Empty Gloves
Lin Zhiqing trotted to the living room.
I saw that in the living room, Father Lin's fingers trembled angrily and pointed at Zhang Hanqing and said, "The surname is Zhang!" It turns out that you didn't come to visit me with admiration for my talent, but hit my daughter's idea!!"
Zhang Hanqing eagerly defended: "Uncle, there are hundreds of women in the family, I am in love with Zhiqing, and my love is stronger than Jinjian. ”
Father Lin took a handful of paper from the table and said, "I didn't say that I wouldn't marry my daughter, but this is your 'sincere' hiring?" ”
Zhang Hanqing nodded his head and said: "The small family is poor, the income is not much, plus the commission silver from selling books, I have barely saved 2,000 taels of silver for more than two years, and I have not kept a penny of money privately, and I have used it all as a dowry." Uncle can dislike Han Qing's little money, but he must not doubt Han Qing's sincerity!! ”
Others don't know, but Lin Zhiqing knows that Zhang Hanqing's provincial food inspection, two thousand taels of silver, is definitely the limit of the Zhang family.
Lin Zhiqing pouted and said, "Dad, our family gave my sister-in-law a dowry gift, which is only a thousand taels of silver, why did you come to me and make it so difficult for Zhang Gongzi?" ”
Father Lin glared at his daughter angrily, as the old saying goes, girls are outgoing, this daughter is partial, she is partial, who is she so serious? It's not for her yet!!
Ling Yue also rushed over, looking at her bulging husband and daughter, completely confused.
Lin Zhiqing handed the silver ticket to his mother as if he was complaining: "Mother, Zhang Gongzi wants to marry me, and he has hired two thousand taels of silver, and my father dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and he is too little." ”
Father Lin said angrily: "You, you elbow out, and you don't know how to be ashamed!" ”
Ling Yue looked at the silver ticket in Lin Zhiqing's hand, and she was smart and immediately realized the crux of the problem.
Ling Yue was so angry that she slapped her daughter on the back and scolded, "When did your father become poor and love rich? The daughter's family has a lot of dowry, which means that the status in the in-law's family is high, and the dowry is light, which means that the in-law's family is practicing you at all; No matter how much, our family will leave nothing, and we will all put it in the dowry and bring it back to you together! Don't apologize to your dad yet?!! ”
Lin Zhiqing also knew that he was talking seriously, but it was a lifelong matter, if he was too weak, he was afraid that the marriage would be yellow.
Lin Zhiqing slowed down his tone and said to Ling Yue: "Mother, Zhang Gongzi's family can pay attention to me, these two thousand taels of silver are definitely the entire net worth of their family, my father can't be embarrassed." ”
Ling Yue pinched the soft flesh on her daughter's waist, told her to shut up, handed back the silver ticket in her hand to Zhang Hanqing and said, "Gongzi Zhang, you said that you were sincere to my daughter, but the dowry you took was really useless to my Lin family." ”
Zhang Hanqing was stunned and took back the bridal money, and said suspiciously: "Auntie, don't you dislike Hanqing for not inviting a matchmaker and not buying ready-made dowry gifts such as silk and satin?" It's not that Han Qing doesn't want to invite the official media, but the matchmaker in Daqi said that Han Qing is from Yunqing and will not give the media; I didn't buy ready-made things to hire because Yunqing sea ships have regulations that they should travel lightly, and each person has a limited weight. I thought about giving the bride money directly to my aunt, who would buy whatever she needed, so as not to waste money. ”
Seeing that Zhang Hanqing still didn't understand what he meant, Ling Yue also frowned, thinking, this son-in-law looks very treacherous and smart, why is his brain so unenlightened?
Zhang Hanqing was afraid that his relatives would be yellow, so he hurriedly said: "Hanqing will go back to write more books, sell books well, and prepare generous gifts to propose marriage next year." ”
Ling Yue was so angry that she simply got straight to the point and said: "Gongzi Zhang, the dowry you gave is a silver ticket from Yunqing Kingdom, and when it comes to my Daqi people, what is the difference between it and waste paper?" To put it mildly, you are what the people call the ----empty glove white wolf". ”
Zhang Hanqing was stunned, his face turned red as soon as he "rubbed", he didn't expect that he would make such a big oolong, no wonder the Lin family would be angry, put it on himself, I am afraid that he would also be angry.
Lin Zhiqing also blushed, annoyed that he didn't ask about the situation and randomly deducted a big hat of "dislike the poor and love the rich" to his father, Dad, he must be very angry, right?
Zhang Hanqing embarrassedly took back the "waste paper", and solemnly said to Father Lin: "Uncle, uncle, today is, it is Han Qing who is abrupt, Han Qing will retire first, and he will be hired again in two days." ”
Zhang Hanqing walked away in a gloomy manner.
Lin Zhiqing walked up to Father Lin and said apologetically: "Dad, my daughter is wrong, don't be angry." ”
"Humph!!" Father Lin turned his face away, not wanting to pay attention to the daughter who broke her heart.
It is not a way to freeze like this, Ling Yue comforted Father Lin and said: "Master, my daughter's family affairs have many twists and turns, and this time the twists and turns are the smallest." If you stretch it again, you will scare your uncle away, not only will my daughter not depend on you, but I will also not depend on you!! ”
Father Lin came down the steps and said: "Han Qing, this kid, is talented and can talk, but this brain is not very bright. Isn't my uncle back? Let's go to meet tomorrow, and ask this Zhang Hanqing by the way, whether he really wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf, or this kid is not bright. ”
Lin Zhiqing's face turned pale, whether it was a white wolf with empty gloves or a bad brain, it didn't feel very beneficial to Zhang Hanqing?
Lin Zhiqing was uneasy in his heart, and said to his mother: "Mother, I will go home directly after I come back, and I haven't visited my cousin yet!" I'll go now, and if it's late, I'll stay at my cousin's house. ”
Without waiting for Ling Yue to answer, Lin Zhiqing had already run out of the living room.
Looking at his daughter's back, Father Lin said with annoyance: "It's really a big girl, this is because I was afraid that my uncle would say something bad about Zhang Hanqing, so I went to ambush in advance!" How did I give birth to such a caring daughter!! ”
Ling Yue sighed, sat beside Father Lin, and said earnestly: "Xianggong, let's not stop our daughter's marriage." Zhiqing's emotional twists and turns, Zhao Cheng, Sun Li, Ye Yiqiu, whatever one is brought out, it hurts her daughter to peel off a layer of skin, and she has been looking for death and life two or three times, and it is not easy to find a favorite person, as long as the character is not bad, family background, dowry, let's do it at will. ”
Father Lin was speechless for a long time, thinking about his daughter's past few marriages, it was a twist and turn, every time it was a huge wave, and even caused turmoil in the imperial court, staying in Daqi, it was inevitable that some good people would take out the old things disgusting, perhaps, it is the best choice for his daughter to marry in Yunqing Kingdom.
Father Lin nodded and said: "I'm not difficult for him, before he leaves, as long as Zhang Hanqing works hard, no matter how much dowry he takes, I will agree." Yue'er, you go and prepare the dowry. Didn't Zhang Hanqing say it, let you travel lightly, I'm afraid that I can't take the gold and silver jewelry I originally prepared, ask my uncle tomorrow to see if I can exchange it for a silver ticket from Yunqingguo. ”
Ling Yue nodded.
