Chapter 0043 25,000 Lottery Money
At the entrance of the Lin Mansion courtyard, many neighbors were blocked. In the courtyard, Li Cong sat on the ground and cried and screamed. Lin Yile was studying in the house. After being quarreled, he stood up and asked Yi Yang, "Madam, why is it so noisy outside the house?"
Yi Yang had been lying beside the window and looked at it for a long time. He turned around and whispered to Lin Yile: "It seems that Tao Jiu ruined the Li family's daughter."
"What?!" Lin Yile was shocked and went out, but Yiyang couldn't hold back.
However, Lin Yile did not participate in the dispute in the courtyard, but asked where Tao Jiu was. When he learned that Tao Jiu was in the backyard, Lin Yile headed straight for Tao Jiu. When he arrived at the back garden, he found Tao Jiu leaning against the wall and burying his face.
Lin Yile squatted beside Tao Jiu, patted his shoulder, and asked, "Have you ruined the Li girl?"
"Second Young Master, you don't believe me, how dare I..." Tao Jiu raised his head, burst into tears, not to mention how aggrieved he felt.
In an instant, Lin Yile's Dharma Eye started to work. He saw another head overflowing from Tao Jiu's head. It was not a real head, but an image of a human head formed by a white light wheel. The human head was slowly nodding.
Lin Yile knew that this was the skill of the Dharma-correcting eye. The Dharma-correcting eye can see people's good and evil, right and wrong, right and wrong, true and false. In the past few days, Lin Yile has been reading ancient books, trying to find the secret of the Dharma-correcting eye, but he has not been able to get any clues from the ancient books.
But Lin Yile has basically understood the four functions of Fazheng Eye.
To distinguish between good and evil, you only need to observe the color of the light wheel that appears on the observer. Black is evil, white is good, and black is good and evil are the two extremes. Between these black and white good and evil, there are also yellow as loyal, blue as treacherous, green as fear, and red as killing... The colors are endless, and the good and evil that the Dharma-Ming Eye can see is also endless.
When distinguishing whether it is possible to distinguish whether it is straight or not, two colors of Tai Chi fish will be seen on the forehead of the observer. The yang appears to be straight and the yin appears to be curved. Lin Yile has not seen these straight and straight images.
When the Dharma-Ming Eye distinguishes right and wrong, it will be like now. Seeing a person's avatar composed of a light wheel, the head nodded, indicating that the person has told the truth; the head shakes the head, indicating that the person has told a lie.
At this moment, Tao Jiu's white light wheel head kept nodding, and Lin Yile was sure that he was not lying.
Lin Yile calmed down. Since Tao Jiu had never done this, it would be easy to deal with it. If he refused to admit it, he would let the father and daughter of the Li family have a trick to go. After his idea was decided, Lin Yile returned to the front yard and walked all the way, staring at Li Cong sitting on the ground and rolling around.
Fa Zheng's eyes saw the strange image and saw a purple light coming from Li Cong's body. This shows that at this moment, Li Cong was extremely greedy, and he sat there and rolled around in order to let the Lin family give him a "explanation".
Lin Pan and Lin Yiju were helpless with Li Cong. Lin Yile stood quietly behind Lin Pan, raised his chin and suddenly asked, "Uncle Li Cong, don't make a fool of himself, tell me, how much do you want?"
When Li Cong heard the word "Borrowing Gift", he got up and said, "That's more, not less! How much can your Lin family give?"
As soon as these words were said, neighbors and neighbors were talking, and they sighed that Li Cong was really caught in the money. But Li Cong ignored the strange eyes of neighbors and stared at Lin Pan and waited for the reply.
But when Lin Pan became an official, he was honest and stopped doing it now, and his family property was only the house left by his ancestors, and he could not prepare a decent bride price at all.
Lin Pan stammered and replied: "Brother Li, you can discuss the bride price again. Look, since the matter has happened, let's decide the marriage first..."
"No, let's get married after the bride price!" Li Cong refused to give in.
Lin Yile pressed Lin Pan's shoulders and whispered, "Dad, I'll do it..." Lin Pan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took a step back. Lin Yile went forward and clasped his fists at Li Cong and bowed, "Uncle Li, after talking about the bride price and then get engaged, it can be considered a villain first and a gentleman, I think it's OK!"
"Hey, look, the second young master can speak. Second young master, tell me, how much dowry can I give?" Li Cong's face relaxed a lot.
Lin Yile said respectfully: "Uncle Li, now the Lin family is the head of Zhuojing and I. There are only four horses, two sheep, ten geese, six dans of rice, four silk, ten silk, fifty thousand silk, and half of the bride price are given in the family."
Lin Yile finished speaking respectfully, and the neighbors were upset. Although the betrothal gifts Lin Yile mentioned were quite a lot under normal circumstances, the Lin family slaves ruined the Li family's daughter first, so this number was not too much.
Besides... my Tianlin family’s master is so big that there is only this little thing left?
Neighbors didn't believe it, and Li Cong didn't believe it. He sneered: "Okay, you second son, do you believe what you said? Your father is an official and a Zuo Pushe, how big is that? Your family only has five taels of silver left now?"
"What my nephew is talking about is the truth." Lin Yi said happily. He just felt that if he could use half of his current family wealth to replace Tao Jiu with a wife, it would be considered a good thing. This matter could be resolved successfully, and the best of both worlds.
But Li Cong didn't do it. He turned around and said to the neighbors outside the door who were watching the fun: "You can say justice to the villagers in the country. What about these beggars?!"
Li Cong originally wanted to marry Li Yan to Niu Ben, the youngest son of the salt vendor Niu family, but now that this incident happened, Li Cong was very happy in his heart because he had the opportunity to blackmail the Lin family.
But the amount of bride gifts Lin Yile mentioned was much lower than Li Cong’s expectations. How could Li Cong give up?
Neighbors also said that the Lin family gave too few brides and selling girls was not worth the price. What's more, Li Yan, the daughter of the Li family, is still a lady from a wealthy family and is about to get married. They all advised Lin Yile to add more.
These people really don’t care about the excitement... You said, I said, and I discussed it.
Li Cong didn't think there was anything wrong, but Lin Pan and Lin Yiju felt that they had lost all their faces... Lin Yile was calm and waited for a while and said to Li Cong: "Uncle Li, let's do this. I will only give you 25,000 yuan in the bride price, which is only 5 taels of silver. I won't give you anything else. If you agree, you will hold a wedding tomorrow. If you don't agree, you will forget about this marriage."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Lin Yile did this, doesn’t it mean that Li Cong’s daughter Li Yan was ruined by vain?!
