Chapter 471: Ding You (2)
As soon as Xia Lan walked into the classroom, she shivered.
Feng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Come here to roast the fire quickly, warm it up."
Xia Lan took the crane cloak on her body and put it on the table behind her before she walked to the stove to burn the fire.
After glanced at her crane cloak, Feng Xiaoyu said, "I saw your sister wearing a mink cloak a few days ago. Why are you wearing plain satin? The difference is too big."
Xia Lan smiled and said, "That cloak was given to my sister by my uncle."
Feng Xiaoyu curled his lips: "Your uncle is really snobbish. He sees your sister trying to marry a prince, so he can flatter him."
Xia Lan's sister was accused of marrying her to the fourth prince, Prince Ning, by the queen. The wedding date has been set, in October next year.
Seeing that Xia Lan looked bad, Qingshu smiled and said, "You see, I don't even wear a big cloak, and I don't want to help me."
Xia Lan’s uncle was snobbish, he could just know about it, and it would embarrass her if he said it.
"Tsk, you still use me to help? The money you earn every month for those three shops is enough for you to make a cloak."
Qingshu sighed: "My grandma donated all her property. Now I have to raise my grandma and sister, and I can no longer be as generous as before."
Feng Xiaoyu exclaimed, "Your grandma really donated all her property? She didn't keep it at all."
Several people looked at Qingshu together.
Qingshu smiled and said, "The money for selling the big house and land in my hometown is kept, and it costs about 10,000 taels of silver. However, my grandmother is old and not in good health, so she needs to eat more tonics. An An and I spend a lot of money on studying, and 10,000 taels is not enough."
Feng Xiaoyu said: "Ten thousand taels of silver are enough for daily expenses. But if you and An An get married in the future, you may not have the money to buy a dowry."
Wu Yian interrupted, "I want me to say that this betrothal gift and dowry is a bad habit, and it would be best if it is cancelled."
Feng Xiaoyu said with a tsk, "Okay, then you can start with yourself. Don't have a betrothal gift or a dowry in the future. Just walk to your husband's house with both legs."
Wu Yian was not afraid: "I don't want to get married. After getting married, I will be tied up in the inner house without any freedom."
Feng Xiaoyu teased: "When you have a lover, I wish he could carry a sedan chair to marry you home!"
The two started to fight again. At first, the others would advise, but later they were used to letting them quarrel. Anyway, after the argument, they would make a reconciliation soon.
Zhu Lanxi asked Qingshu in a low voice: "Grandma Gu really donated all her property?"
Qingshu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I have a house shop and a farm!."
Zhu Lanxi hurriedly asked, "Are these industries recorded in your name?"
Seeing Qingshu nodding, Zhu Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that Old Mrs. Gu would also donate all these industries when she was excited, and Qingshu would be in trouble by then.
"Qingshu, you should take these industries well and not return them to your grandmother. Otherwise, your three grandparents and grandchildren will have a problem in the future."
Gongsun Yingxue was amused and crying: "She was just joking, you didn't hear it!"
If you don’t say that the few shops that Qingshu opened can make a lot of money, Gongsun Yingxue doesn’t believe that Mrs. Gu has really donated all her property and will keep some. If you don’t say anything else, Qingshu and An’an’s dowry will definitely be kept.
"Qingshu, is it really a joke?"
Qingshu smiled and said, "I'm joking with Xiaoyu! I have big cloaks, but I don't wear them if I don't feel cold."
"That's good, that's good."
Seeing her like this, Xia Lan pursed her lips and said happily: "Lan Xi, I'm really afraid that Qingshu will sell you in the future, so you will also help her count the money."
Zhu Lanxi said with certainty: "No, Qingshu will not sell me even if he sells it himself."
Being so trusted by Zhu Lanxi, a feeling of emotion emerged in Qingshu's heart.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Cui Xueying is in a very bad mood at this moment. She is afraid of water, so she dare not take a boat. No matter how Lin Chengyu persuades her, she will take a horse.
But the road to Taohua Village is rugged and bumpy. That's all, I have to walk halfway through the carriage.
The cold wind blew on her body, and even with a cloak, she was trembling with coldness.
I don't know what tripped, Cui Xueying fell forward. Her maid Mu Yu reached out to pull her, but she fell to the ground as well.
Getting up from the ground, Cui Xueying found that her cloak was covered with mud and grass and other dirt! She had never been so embarrassed until she was this old age.
Lin Chengyu wanted to help her, but she threw it away: "Stay away from me."
If it weren't for Lin Chengyu, how could she have suffered this? Cui Xueying was still rational, otherwise she would have left.
Mu Xi said, "Madam, will I carry you?"
Cui Xueying wanted her to carry her back, but she looked at her small body and shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll leave by myself."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Lin Chengyu and said in a bad tone: "How long will it take to arrive?"
"It will arrive in a quarter of an hour at most. It's also because I'm not thinking well, so I should hire a sedan chair."
The main reason is that Lin Chengyu didn't expect that Cui was afraid of water and was reluctant to take a boat, so he would have arrived home long ago if he wanted to take a boat.
After more than a moment, I finally arrived at Taohua Village.
In the cold winter, villagers basically stayed at home, and Old Master Lin, Lin Chengzhong and others were all at home.
When he found that the door could not be pushed open, Ah Xin knocked on the door hard.
Everyone was reluctant to let go of themselves in the quilt, so in the end Aunt Zhen came out and opened the door.
Seeing so many people outside, Aunt Zhen was stunned and asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Chengyu glanced at her and said, "Where are the old man and the second master?"
Pointing down the house, Aunt Zhen said, "Everyone is in the house!"
Mu Yu looked at Cui Xueying who was trembling and asked quickly: "Master, let's go into the house and let your wife warm up. If this continues, you will get sick from freezing."
Aunt Zhen was stunned, but she quickly realized: "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, Grandmaster is back."
After saying that, he rushed into the east room.
Mu Yu frowned when she saw this. It was too unruly for the old man to ask the master and his wife if he didn't ask him.
Aunt Zhen's call alarmed everyone in the family, and soon everyone came out.
Old Master Lin knew that Lin Chengyu would go home, so he had already cleaned up the east wing room. But the room was cold and Cui Xueying didn't want to stay inside.
Wei wanted to flatter Cui Xueying, and saw her pleasingly, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, I'll bring some firewood, and the fire will be warmed up soon after it is roasted."
Lin Chengyu frowned and said, "What kind of firewood is burning? I went to get the charcoal."
The smoke from the firewood was very heavy and fumes. How could my wife bear it?
Lin Chengzhong said apologetically: "Brother, charcoal is very expensive this year. The family has no money and can't afford it."
"Buy it now if you don't have charcoal."
At this time, Lin Chengzhi came.
Lin Chengyu knew that Lin Chengzhi had made a lot of money in business over the years, and when he saw him, he immediately asked, "Third brother, do you have charcoal? If you have it, give me a basket of food."
