Second spring

Lin Shijia recruited a little girl who was playing by the door: "Is mother there?"

"The second madam is inside." The little girl replied: "The second master is here and is talking to the madam. Let us have dinner together."

"Father is there?" Lin Shijia was a little surprised.

In the past few years, the relationship between father and mother has become increasingly cold. Apart from leaving everything in the second bedroom to mother to take care of, father has not rested in the Mingjing hall for an unknown period of time...

Although Lin Shijia had some complaints about his father's behavior, it was always a good thing that his father could come to his mother's yard.Lin Shijia hesitated for a moment, and said to the little girl, "Go down. Don't disturb anyone."

Si Yue stuffed her with a few copper coins, and the little girl took it happily, and ran away to play again.

Lin Shijia walked into the yard slowly.

No one was left outside the main room of Mingjing Hall.

Yue Gui stood far away in the corner of the courtyard, saw Lin Shijia waving her hand, and after saluting her, she didn't come over.

Lin Shijia approached the main room, and soon heard her mother's voice coming from the main room.

Xiao Li's voice was a little joyful and a little tired: "Second Master, this is the dowry I prepared for Shi'er, can you take a look?"

Second Master Lin took it, glanced at the front, glanced at the end, and said indifferently: "En. This matter on the surface will be discussed with your sister-in-law after Shi'er is settled in the future. As for private matters, Just prepare more, and when I come back, I’ll send you 10 taels of silver notes, and it’s good for you to keep it or make a press box for Shi’er, or get her some safe land stores.”

"10 taels of silver? Is it too much?" Although Mrs. Li was very happy that Lin Erye was willing to give his daughter so much dowry, 10 taels was not a small amount. "I bought this dowry at 3 taels of silver. In addition to the 1 taels given by the public, I prepared 2 taels privately. I showed it to my sister-in-law, and she agreed. It was more than 10 taels A little more. Besides, Han'er also needs money, and then there are Yin'er, Ting'er and Chang'er, all together for a few years..."

Although Mrs. Li is unwilling to mention a few concubines and concubines, after all, they are there, growing up day by day, always wanting to get married, always getting ready.As for the concubine and the concubine, the Lin family only gave 5000 taels of silver... Could it be that she just bought it for 5000 taels of silver?No matter what, she has to add some more... In this way, it is not a small expense.

Lin Erye obviously didn't understand what Xiao Li meant.

He casually said: "Since I think it's too much, I'll use it all as private money. Don't tell it. This is a man, no matter whether it's a man or a woman, he can live with confidence if he has money by his side."

Lin Shijia was a little stunned when she heard it outside.

Because she couldn't understand what her father did, Lin Shijia didn't get close to her father on weekdays.She also knew that her father would be willing to marry her as a dowry, but she never thought that her father would be willing to do so much! 10 taels of private money, no matter how much she spends, it is enough!

And just as her father said, with such a large sum of money, no matter what kind of environment she will be in in the future, she will be confident in her life!

She always thought that her father only lived in the romance on the stage, and didn't care about the eyes of the world, or the thoughts and attitudes of his family... She never thought that her father could say such a thing!

Lin Shijia's mind turned for a moment, and the feelings in her heart were complicated and unspeakable.She heard her father say again:

"You don't have to worry about the expenses of the children." Lin Erye said: "Han'er will inherit the family business in the future, so you don't need to pay any more money at this time. Yin'er and Chang'er will pay 1 taels The dowry, 1 taels of box money to prepare. As for Ting'er, and the future Wan'er, they are all the same."

In this way, although it cannot be compared with Lin Shijia, it is actually a lot.Besides, which family in Beijing would spend 2 taels of silver for a concubine and a concubine to get married for no reason!Moreover, calculated in this way, the second room will have to spend 10,000+!

That's 10,000+ taels of silver!

If it was exchanged for vain cash, I'm afraid it would be able to cover the courtyard of the Mingjing Hall!Not some worthless stone!

Thinking of this, Xiao Li inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.

Second Master Lin took a look at her and said, "It doesn't matter if it's my daughter, she will go to someone else's house to beg for a living in the future. My sons, after they get married, let's divide them up."

"Separated?" Xiao Li was taken aback, apparently in disbelief—grandmother is still alive, and both father and mother are well. How can anyone's concubine be separated as soon as they get married?Not afraid to tarnish the reputation of the Lin family!

"En." Second Master Lin said lightly: "I know, you don't want to see them bring their whole family to you sooner or later to say hello to you. In this way, if you give them [-] taels, it will be regarded as a complete separation. Each other is clean. In the future, if the aunts are willing to live with them, let them be released together."

There was no sarcasm in Lin Erye's tone of voice.Xiao Li did not hear any irony from it.When she treated those concubines and concubines, she just fulfilled her responsibility as a mistress, and she didn't want to get close to them.On weekdays, when they greeted each other, she only let them turn around a little before sending them away.As for the aunts, she didn't want to see them come to pay her respects at all, she would have avoided it long ago——

With such a large courtyard in the Lin Mansion, she felt better when she couldn't see them.

Therefore, Xiao Li would have such an arrangement for Lin Erye. Apart from being surprised, he naturally did not disagree.

It's just...Xiao Li said worriedly: "Will this have any impact on the reputation of the Lin family? And the big brother and sister-in-law..."

Uncle Lin is an official in the court, and he always has to worry about his reputation.

"I told my elder brother. He agrees very much." Second Master Lin took a sip of tea, tasted it slowly for a while, and then said again: "Actually, there are actually ancestors' precepts passed down from my grandfather..."

Wen Xiangong?

Xiao Li raised her eyes.

"Grandfather once mentioned in a letter that concubines are the source of the family's troubles, and he hopes that future generations will not accept concubines. Even if the blood of the Lin family continues, there should be no stepchildren..."

Xiao Li's eyes widened involuntarily.

Outside the window, Lin Shijia also opened her eyes wide - Mr. Wen Xian still has such... such... instructions!Lin Shijia couldn't think of anything that could accommodate her to hear such an instruction!Perhaps it is "ridiculous"?

"How is this possible!" Xiao Li said subconsciously.

If it is about not taking concubines, there is still a famous family in the previous dynasty that abided by such a family motto, but there is no precedent for "no remarrying" that has never been heard of!
