The fierce wife is the happy head of the family

Chapter 162 Second Aunt Lin

After dinner, Mrs. Lin explained to Qinglu what Master Zhou said, and mentioned that the Lin family would pay 68 loads of dowry.

"Mother, there are too many red tapes. No matter how well-prepared, there are always things that can't be taken into account. Instead of thinking that the pound pie will be caught by the details, pick the flaws and point and laugh at it. It's better to follow the etiquette and customs of ordinary people and keep everything simple." Already!" Qinglu had her own thoughts, "Life is for yourself, why compare yourself with others?"

"Qinglu, the reason we gave you 68 dowry is to give the Lin family some property." Mrs. Lin took Qinglu's hand and said softly, "The Lin family has great achievements and will always be envied by others. Some time ago, some people reported to the court that merchants from all over the country should pay taxes on a head-to-head basis. Your Uncle Jiang wrote a letter saying that the court wanted to pay attention to the income of merchants from all over the country. Let the people live more comfortably. However, we don’t know who gets most of the tax money, so we decided to reduce our property and set up porridge sheds from time to time and in different locations to provide rationed supplies to the people who can’t afford to eat. "

"Businessmen from all over the world already pay taxes! The imperial court wants to increase taxes, but there are more crises in the battlefield ahead?" Qinglu thought.

"That's not true. The imperial court built a school to recruit a large number of teachers to teach and educate people, and regularly held imperial examinations. There are a large number of talents, and there are also many who offer advice for the country. In addition, there are many military officers. There is no crisis in the frontier." Mrs. Lin explained, "This is the case. The tax increase is because some factions of the imperial court listened to the words of some merchants and reported it. The imperial court felt that anyway, there are more merchants, so paying more taxes will fill the national treasury, and there is nothing wrong with planning for a rainy day.”

"We can't guess what the imperial court is thinking, but the Lin family's family business can be dispersed, no wonder Daddy is so busy." Qinglu smiled.

"The policy issued by the imperial court is one method for a period of time. For the time being, it is not good for merchants, but it may be beneficial in the future. No matter what they propose, our Lin family has the ability to protect ourselves." Madam Lin patted Qinglu's hand, "The Lin family is not that fragile."

"Don't mention this, I just leave the whole process of my marriage to my mother." Qinglu leaned into Mrs. Lin's arms, "Let's treat them equally. I will do what the other sisters do."

"Of course it's impossible to treat people equally. Since ancient times, concubines and concubines have been different. If a child born to a concubine is more polite than a concubine born to a concubine, we don't care about the etiquette. The tribe will have words." Mrs. Lin rubbed Qinglu's hair again. , "The things of a lifetime can't be avoided. You just have to be yourself, and we will take care of it."

"En!" Qinglu nodded.

"Why did your friends Gao Douer and Cai Lingli find excuses to leave after dinner? Are they so afraid of me?" Mrs. Lin asked suddenly.

"They're not used to it." Qinglu didn't know, she always felt that they were avoiding something.

"I'm afraid it won't solve the problem. Qinglu, you said that your eldest brother likes Gao Douer, I don't think there is a way to make it perfect without some twists and turns." Mrs. Lin could see some problems from observing Gao Douer's expression, Qinglu Lu raised her head and asked with her eyes, she said softly, "Gao Douer expects feelings but is afraid of feelings, that's enough to make Zhi He sad for a while."

"Mother, one of them is unmarried, and the other is unmarried. They are talented and beautiful, and they only need to meet each other. How can there be so many ups and downs?" Qinglu didn't believe it.

After all, they are young children!Mrs. Lin smiled slightly, hoping that she was really thinking too much, but Gao Douer's thoughtful look on her brows is not so easy.

The mother and daughter were talking, and it was rumored that Zhu Xiaoyou (the main room of Qinglutang's second uncle) had come.

"Your second aunt is here, probably to complain again." Mrs. Lin was really annoyed, but she didn't dare to reveal anything. As a woman, she could understand Zhu Xiaoyou's difficulties, so she asked the maid to go out and tell Zhu Xiaoyou to come in .

Zhu Xiaoyou is a melancholy and thin woman, her face is full of pimples and spots, her eyes are dull, her footsteps are weak, and she almost falls across the door. It was Qinglu who helped her in time and brought her over to sit down.

Mrs. Lin and Qinglu didn't ask anything, Zhu Xiaoyou started to cry. After Mrs. Lin and Qinglu persuaded her, she managed to get rid of her tears, looked up to see Mrs. Lin, thought of Mrs. Lin's beauty, and said "wow". began to cry.

"Second Aunt, you didn't say a word, what's the matter?" Qinglu patted Second Aunt Lin's back to comfort her.

"I, I didn't say a word, he, he said I was cold, that I was just one, he, me, wow, I'm dead, married to such a heartless man, I gave up so many candidates at the beginning He, didn't he just look at him as a handsome man, but he didn't expect the essence to emerge after marriage, I, my life is so miserable." Zhu Xiaoyou patted his heart, and a wave of resentment came up again, pushing it down to his throat and stuck His face turned blue and white, and he looked sickly and about to die. No one likes this state, let alone Lin Ershu who faces each other day and night.

"Second Uncle went to play around again?" Qinglu folded her arms and said angrily, "Second Aunt, don't worry, I will go to him tomorrow, and I will vent my anger on you."

"Your second uncle is like that, the old man doesn't necessarily listen to what he says, so how could he listen to you?" Zhu Xiaoyou cried again.She knew that no one could persuade her husband to be like that, so she couldn't help feeling even more depressed.

"Xiaoyou, if you want me to tell you, don't put your mind on the second uncle, and care more about your children." Mrs. Lin comforted.

"He is my husband, I don't care about him, who cares about him?" Zhu Xiaoyou fell into his own world again, "Women outside only take money from the husband, how can they care about the daily life of the husband?"

Mrs. Lin shook her head. She really didn't want to persuade her anymore. Over the years, every time she asked Zhu Xiaoyou to divert his target from Second Uncle Lin, Zhu Xiaoyou always said the same thing, as if Zhu Xiaoyou loved her husband the most in the whole world.She really wanted to say that the women outside were much gentler than her, how happy Uncle Lin was.

"Sister-in-law, why do you think my life is so hard?" Zhu Xiaoyou grabbed Mrs. Lin's hand and said leisurely, "I am also a girl from a wealthy family, and my parents love me at home. After I get married, I don't get love. Forget it, but I was disgusted instead, do you think I should go to the temple to worship? Maybe the husband will change his mind?"

"It's okay for you to go to the temple to pray. The problem is that if you go ten times a month, the gods will get annoyed and don't bother to talk to you, so it won't work." Mrs. Lin said bluntly, Zhu Xiaoyou couldn't understand the euphemism.

"Yeah, it's not good if it's too frequent, so let's change it to five times a month. Well, tomorrow is the first day of junior high school again, and I have to go back to prepare." Zhu Xiaoyou said to himself, let go of Mrs. Lin, "I'll go back first !” Stand up and leave like the wind.

"Second Aunt is really crazy." Qinglu looked at Zhu Xiaoyou's back, "I put my heart on Second Uncle, it's overwhelming. If I were Second Uncle, I would be bothered."

"She's been trapped in her own world for too long, and she can't get out. How can a man hold on so tightly." Mrs. Lin shook her head and lamented, "Anyway, she's useless, I just hope that a couple of her The children can treat her better, but I don't think her children want to see her, so what will happen in the future."

"She can only save herself." Qinglu sighed, and Mrs. Lin agreed.
