Mugui

Chapter 231 Cao's
Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu, and said, "I'm training pigeons recently, and I'll send them to you when I'm done training. Then we can fly the pigeons to send letters."

Yinzhu's rumors were always incomplete and untrue, and she was too lazy to make an extra trip, Lin Shizi expressed her dissatisfaction.

Yang Muxin said happily: "Okay! I haven't used Feige to send letters before!"

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu's childishness a little dotingly. Who could imagine that this girl would have such a side?
Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu reluctantly, and said, "Wait for me, I will come to hire you tomorrow morning!"

Yang Mu's heart moved, and he felt as if there was a warm current flowing in his heart.

She nodded and said, "OK."

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu's obedient appearance, and felt as if a feather had been brushed gently in his heart, wishing he could hug the woman in front of him.

But this is the gate of the Yang family, the frivolous young lady at the gate of the family, isn't this looking for a fight?

Lin Xiao endured so much pain, seeing Yang Mu bid farewell to him and entered the gate, but still refused to leave.

After a long time, a carriage drove by, and the curtain of the carriage door was lifted, revealing a young man with red lips and white teeth inside.

When the young man saw Lin Xiao, he said "Oops", beckoned the coachman to stop, and then jumped off.

"My lord, it's easy for me to find!"

The person who came was Lin Xiao's reading companion, Tong Le.

Tong Le trotted up to Lin Xiao, and said anxiously: "You should go back home soon! The gifts for tomorrow's appointment haven't been decided yet, so don't worry about it!"

Lin Xiao turned to look at him and said, "Didn't I give you the list?"

Tong Le let out a "Hi" and said angrily: "Isn't it the princess, who said that the dowry gift you gave was too expensive and did not conform to the rules, so I insisted on removing more than half of the items on the list!"

Lin Xiao snorted coldly and asked, "Where is my father?"

Tong Le said: "The lord said he was in a good mood today, so he invited friends to drink, otherwise the wangfei wouldn't dare to mess around like this!"

Lin Xiaofei got on his horse and said, "Go home!"

Tong Le let out an "ah", got into the carriage, and followed Lin Xiao's horse, all the way back to Dingwang Mansion.

……

Dingwangfu.

Lin Xiao entered the Chengqi Courtyard where he lived with a whip in his hand, and saw Princess Cao directing the servants to move the red boxes that were full of the yard around.

"Princess Ann." Lin Xiao greeted in a deep voice.

Cao's eyes flickered, why did this kid come back so soon?Only one step away, all these good things can be moved to her yard!

In an instant, Mrs. Cao adjusted her smile, turned around and smiled softly at Lin Xiao, and said, "The prince is back? Just right, I'm almost done here."

She beckoned, and a steward handed Lin Xiao a red note.

Cao said: "Look, my son, how about this gift list?"

Lin Xiao took the note, glanced at it, and said, "It's not suitable."

Mrs. Cao walked over with a smile, and patiently explained: "My son, the eldest daughter of the Yang family is just a woman who grew up in the countryside. If our palace pays a lot of money to hire her, I'm afraid it will be bad for you and your father's reputation if it is spread out." .”

Prince Ding's Mansion is also one of the four kings in the capital, and they value an uneducated girl from the Yang family so much. I don't know how those gossiping women will evaluate it.

Lin Xiaodao: "My previous gift list is the dowry left by my mother. If the princess thinks it is not suitable, why not open the warehouse of the palace and choose the one that is suitable."

Cao's smile didn't change at all, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, don't you know the family background of our palace? If I can come up with a decent dowry, can I not take it?"

She glanced at the red boxes all over the yard, and said, "The things in the warehouse are really not comparable to your mother's dowry!"

These things are so good that her eyes are almost red.

Lin Xiao looked at the red boxes that were divided into two parts in the yard, and asked, "Where will the princess move these boxes?"

Cao Shi said: "Of course it will be moved into your small warehouse."

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows indifferently, so he didn't believe her nonsense. He was afraid that these things would have entered Cao's own small warehouse when he came back a little later.

Over the years, Cao tried every means to manage his mother's relics, but Lin Mao and him stopped them. Unexpectedly, they came to Ming to snatch them when they were not in the mansion.

He coldly glanced at the young servants in the yard, and turned to Cao Shi: "My father gave me a gift list from the warehouse of the palace a few days ago, saying that the princess will prepare everything for me, and listen to the queen's words." Head, it seems that you are not prepared?"

Cao said: "Where does your father know what is in the storeroom? I saw the gift list, most of them are things that are not in the storeroom, even if there are, you can't show them."

Lin Xiao said lightly: "Since the princess is not willing to open a large warehouse to hire my future concubine, then I don't bother the princess to handle the gift list I prepared myself."

Mrs. Cao opened her mouth, seeing that Lin Xiao was very resolute, she didn't want to say anything more, and led her away.

Tong Le didn't come over with surprise until everyone was gone, and asked, "My lord, the princess just left like this and didn't bother you anymore? This is not the character of the princess!"

For so many years, the concubine has been staring at the little storeroom of the son, and the master was often deceived by her to take away good things when he was a child.

After the elder son grew up, he gradually found those things that were cheated by the Cao family.

Lin Xiao looked at Cao's back, and said: "She was thinking, the father must be drunk when he comes back, and he doesn't care about asking about the gift list. In addition, the father sent a message to the Yang family today, and it was agreed that tomorrow morning I'm going to the Yang family to give the dowry, and when I wake up tomorrow morning, I don't have time to let her open the warehouse and order gifts."

Tong Le snorted coldly, and said: "The concubine has a good plan, but unfortunately she doesn't know, the son of the world has already sent someone to find the prince."

He smiled triumphantly, and he could imagine how the prince would reprimand the princess when he saw such a gift list when he came back later.

……

Cao's thinking was just like what Lin Xiao said. Her original plan was that the palace would not pay a penny, and then robbed some of Lin Xiao's small coffers, so that King Ding could not accuse her in the end.

But what Cao didn't expect was that Ding Wang Linmao came back in less than half an hour. After learning that Cao really did what Lin Xiao said, he didn't prepare a penny and wanted to deduct the betrothal gift prepared by Lin Xiao. sink like water.

Lin Mao went directly to the warehouse, called the steward of the warehouse, pointed to all kinds of valuable items, and asked people to record them one by one, and stared at the people, put the things into big boxes, carried them to Lin Xiao's yard, and wrote everything down. on the gift list.

Cao's face was not obvious, but the handkerchief in his hand was torn and deformed.

Many of the things Lin Mao chose were betrothal gifts for her future daughter-in-law, and some were dowry for her daughter.

Now, these things are going to be sent to the Yang family by Lin Mao.

Lin Mao had been staring at the servant until the end of the day, when he gave Cao Shi a cold look, and said, "It's getting late, let's take a break."

There was a smile on the corner of Cao's mouth, and he asked, "Where is the prince resting today?"

If Lin Mao is resting with Concubine Zhao or other concubines tonight, then she still has room to maneuver.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mao said indifferently: "It's a big event tomorrow morning, so naturally I will rest in your yard."

Mrs. Cao forced a smile and followed Lin Xiao into her yard.

It seems that those treasures can't be kept, and she feels very distressed.
