Chapter 9 A gentleman has faith in the world
Jia Yu returned to the old house in Jinling to clean the ancestral grave. Although this annual ancestor worship can be held in Chang'an, the ancestral tomb is in the hometown, and it still needs a few people to come back every year to take care of it.
Jia Yu is a serious heir, if he doesn't come, is it possible to let Jia Zheng come over?
took stock of affairs in the old mansion, and secretly ordered people to pay attention to the situation in the Wei Mansion.
However, Wei Fu was held down by Wei Qianqiang, and the door was locked at the beginning without any news. It wasn't until Huang Yuan came to the door in person that Wei Yan asked people to help find Huang Bao's whereabouts.
It's a pity that Huang Bao walked fast and didn't know the direction. Later, when I searched around Jinling, I couldn't find any trace of Huang Bao. It can only be said that he was taken away by immortals and became an immortal.
To outsiders, it is just a rumor and anecdote that the neighborhood talks about, and some people praise the sentence "the reincarnation of the golden boy of the queen mother". But it is undoubtedly a huge blow to the parties on both sides of the Huang Mansion and the Wei Mansion.
Huang Yuan and his wife only have this only child, it was not easy to ask for a child back then, who would have thought that this thing would happen now? In the future, incense sacrifices will be a problem!
As for the Wei Mansion, the marriage contract was just made a month ago, and there was a moth immediately. Originally, Wei Fu's plan was to temporarily use the marriage alliance to help the two families, and wait until the matter of Wei Yan's promotion was decided. Whether it is a real marriage or a way to stir up the yellow marriage contract and marry Jin Lan, you can talk about it after you get it right.
At that time, as long as the two families were in harmony, no one else could say anything.
But what about now?
Mrs. Wei couldn't get out of bed in anger after hearing about this. His original little abacus was in vain, it was because people are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that Huang Bao would take on the burden?
"I didn't agree to this marriage at the beginning, look at it now, are you really going to let our daughter go to the widow?" There was another dispute in the study of the Wei Mansion, but Wei Qian had already ordered someone to block the door and not allow anyone to go out lightly, so the family ugliness was not publicized.
Wei Qian was in her room, playing with the jewelry sent by Jia Yu.
Those two pieces of bloodstone are indeed of the highest grade, and it is no wonder that Jia Lian, who is accustomed to seeing beautiful jade treasures, wants to ask for them.
The bloodstone is delicate and smooth, and the color is pure, Wei Qian looked at it for a while and liked it. After thinking about it carefully, he accepted one piece, wrapped the other one in a handkerchief and handed it to Hongchun: "I see that this piece of bloodstone is resistant, and I will go back to find a craftsman to carve this piece of bloodstone into two jade medals and give it to my father and Uncle Huang." β
"Miss!" Hong Chun said angrily: "Miss, something so big happened, do you still have the heart to give gifts to the master and Lord Huang?" β
"Of course, it must be delivered, and it must be completed as soon as possible." Wei Qian instructed Huang Yang to bring her small box.
Wei Fu is not short of money, although Wei Yan does not know how to operate, but Jia Mei is here, when Jia Daishan and Jia Yu got married, they also regarded the two shops in Jinling's hometown as a dowry. Although the Wei Mansion is not as luxurious as those big families, it has never been harsh on Wei Qian, the young lady.
Huang Yang opened the cabinet, and there were several wooden boxes inside, which were Wei Qian's family savings. In the past few years, Jia Yu has had a generous gift every time he visits.
Wei Qian understood that this was Jia Yu's thank you gift to Jia Mei for helping with things, and handed it to Jia Mei in the name of giving it to her niece. It's just that Jia Mei is not short of money, so she ordered Wei Qian to collect it herself and use it as a dowry in the future. Seeing this, Jia Yu also prepared various jade calligraphy and paintings at the beginning of the second fight, and said that he helped his niece to add a dowry.
Those boxes, one for jade jewelry, one for gold and silver beads, and one for gold and silver ingots.
took the ingots box, Wei Qian saw the lock on it, took the key and opened it personally.
There are eight gold and silver ingots in it, as well as gold and silver melon seeds and other things, as for the copper coins used outside, there is not a single one. Small things such as copper coins, and other tips are collected and handed over to red toons and boxwoods to purchase.
"With this money alone, if I elope, I can live the rest of my life in peace."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Yang's expression tightened, and he subconsciously held the box, not daring to answer.
"Don't worry, that's what I say." Wei Qian took two silver ingots casually.
"I've lived in the boudoir for a long time, and I don't know the price outside. You say, "How much money does it cost to have a seal carved into it?" β
"This ......" Huang Yang and Red Tsubaki looked at each other and shook their heads. The two of them are personal maids, how do they know what Wei Qian doesn't know?
Wei Qian silently calculated, and said to Huang Yang: "You take these two silver ingots to your grandfather, let him run for me, and make the two seals within three days, I will be useful." β
Huang Yang didn't say much, silently wrapped the silver ingot with a handkerchief, and picked up the bloodstone and left the small courtyard.
"Miss, aren't you afraid that she will make a profit from it?" Red Tsubaki asked in a low voice after the boxwood left.
"Do you think you can hide this? Halfway through, they will be detained by their mothers, and they ask what is going on in secret, and I believe that there is nothing wrong with them. As for the deduction...... I still hope that the two of them will withhold my money, and then they will be able to give them away. β
Seeing her young lady's face, Hongchun shuddered. Huang Yang has served Wei Qian for many years, and he is also attentive, but he is not Wei Qian's henchman in the end, and he needs to consider the probability of Huang Yang ventilating and reporting when he starts to do things. Therefore, it is best to replace it with your own henchmen as soon as possible.
Not long after Wei Qian's action, Mrs. Wei and Jia Mei and his wife both received a report.
Is there anyone who knows better about the situation in the Wei Mansion than them?
So, Mrs. Wei summoned all three of them to her side.
Old Madam Wei heard the news of Huang Bao's cultivation and became angry directly. Lying on the bed, with a towel on his head, he said weakly: "You say, how are you going to solve this situation now?" β
"Of course it's broken!" Jia Mei didn't think twice: "Huang Baoren is gone, and let our daughter marry and stay a widow?" β
"Mother, daughter wants to marry!" Wei Qian suddenly spoke, and her crisp and loud voice pushed Jia Mei's words back.
"What!" Jia Mei was a little unstable on her feet, she was anxious in the past few days, and she had fetal gas again, and the doctor told her to give birth and raise her, so she didn't have to worry about it. But Wei Qian's matter, can she ignore it?
Even Wei Yan frowned and said, "I was preparing for my father's marriage that day, although I took a fancy to the connections and power of the Huang Mansion, but it was also for you." Huang Yuanguan Lu is prosperous, and there will be a day when he will enter Beijing in the future. When Huang Bao is protected by his father, the road to the imperial examination will jump into the dragon gate, and you will also be able to mix with a lady of the decree at that time. β
The system of today's dynasty imitates the Han and Tang dynasties, and I don't see Chang'an, the capital of today, and it is also the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty. This world is similar to what Wei Qian heard in his previous life, but it is different. In a certain year of the Tang Dynasty, there was no Song Dynasty after five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the Daming Palace was not much damaged. Later, after several dynasties, when the chaos β‘β‘ rose, the country was established in chaos, and the Daming Palace was rebuilt as the imperial palace, which was the core of the Dragon Court.
And Mrs. Decree is from the "Tang Classic", which is divided into five classes. Mrs. Guo, Mrs. County, Junjun, County Jun, Township Jun, the so-called county Jun is the five-grade edict, that is, the edict of Jia Mei and Mrs. Wei. If Huang Bao works hard in the future, with the help of Wei Yan and Huang Yuan, he can only make the official road smoother, and he may be able to give Wei Qian a decree from Mrs. Yipinguo.
Wei Yan is a rough martial artist, he doesn't like the wind and snow, and he doesn't let Wei Qian learn those useless things. As long as she has some cooking and embroidery skills, she can know how to have an accident with the housekeeper, so she only learned "Female Commandment" and "Female Virtue", if Wei Qian did not take advantage of the marriage to propose, it would not be easy to convince Wei Yan.
Wei Yan took his hand and paced in the hall: "Now that Huang Bao is gone, don't talk about this marriage contract." As for our alliance, if they want to bite back, I'm not afraid of them. β
When Wei Qian heard this, she shook her head: "My daughter often hears that a gentleman will not stand without faith. Now that my father has made a marriage contract with the Huang family, how can he regret it lightly? β
"The gentleman made a promise, no matter what his father thought that day, now that he has spoken out and spread all over the city, then he will take back his words, regardless of his father's future, it will be difficult for his daughter to find her in-laws in the future. It's better to take the opportunity to continue to maintain this marriage contract, as for the future, the daughter has her own plans. β
seemed to find it difficult to convince, Wei Qian said again: "Then why didn't Huang Bao leave early or late, just when his father and Uncle Huang were about to be transferred to Gao Sheng?" β
As soon as this remark came out, Wei Yan couldn't help but ponder conspiracy theories. If those opponents in the officialdom deliberately take the opportunity to make trouble, they want to stir them up.
"Good! If you want to marry, your father will not be the wicked man. Wei Yan said: "It's a big deal, in a few years, try to get the Huangfu to eliminate the marriage contract." "Thinking that Wei Qian made people carve seals, why didn't you know that your daughter had a plan early and was not ready to discuss with them at all?
β¦β¦
Three days later, the rumors in the city gradually dispersed, and the Wei Mansion finally reopened its doors after many days of closed doors. Several sedan chairs stopped at the door, Wei Yan rode a horse, and Jia Mei's mother and daughter got on the sedan chair and went to Huangfu together.
This big move, other families have found out, one by one gloating on the side to watch the actions of the Wei Mansion.
"It's a fuss, it's a fuss! As soon as this Wei Mansion repents of marriage, then it will pick one or two from it, hehe, who is the position of this ranger general for! "This is the thinking of those military attachΓ©s who have the same goal as Wei Yan.
And those civil officials thought more: "Killing two birds with one stone, not to mention the two governments in one breath, but also making Jia Daishan's line and Zhang's family have a discord, both sides are neutral and do not support any prince, could it be that there is something hidden behind this?" β
Naturally, it makes people think that there is a bigger conspiracy behind Huang Bao's departure.
"The daughter of the Wei Mansion is the granddaughter of Rong Guogong, and the four major families are in the same spirit, and now Lord Jia is also preparing to worship his ancestors in Jinling, and he will definitely be biased towards the Wei Mansion." Wang Zisheng pondered and discussed with Wang Ziteng: "When it comes to Jiafu, it must not be his old relatives Zhen family, and the five princes are not, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that Rong Guogong is not interested and wants to fix him?" β
Jia Daishan was in charge of the defense of the capital, and although the military power was handed over, he was even more favored today. Even if the prince was enveloped several times, Jia Daishan did not throw himself into the prince's camp.
Wang Ziteng shook his head: "The prince has become more and more arrogant over the years. Rong Guogong is in charge of the defense of the capital, how can he defect to which camp at will? When the time comes, can His Majesty be able to hand over the capital to others? The heavenly family has no family affection, even if it is a son, he can't believe it. β
Jia Daishan can't get close to any prince, not even the crown prince. knew that he would offend the prince, but he couldn't let go. And this situation naturally made Jia Yu and Jia Zheng think differently, respecting the prince on the face, but in fact they were ready to vote for someone else.
All parties have ghosts in their hearts, and the people of the Wei Mansion have come to the Huang Mansion from the official road.
Huangfu is a gloomy cloud.
Huang Bao's disappearance of Simu Xiandao for no reason hit Mrs. Huang very hard, and even Huang Yuan seemed to be more than ten years old.
"At this point, there is no one to inherit the incense under his knees, how can he be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors in the future?" Huang Yuan smiled bitterly, and suddenly heard that someone from the Wei Mansion was coming, and sighed: "That's it, it's long overdue." β
"Huang Bao, the rebel son left home, how can Wei Yan love his daughter and let her come to our Huang Mansion to suffer?" Huang Yuan figured it out and ordered someone to invite the people from the Wei Mansion.
But when he saw Wei Yan and his wife coming with Wei Qian, he was stunned.
I saw that the girl stepped forward delicately, and she was not ambiguous, and saluted Huang Yuan directly: "My niece has seen my uncle." As he spoke, he asked someone to give him a gift. In addition to the bloodstone seal given to Huang Yuan, there was also a five-colored black gold phoenix hairpin that she carefully selected from her jewelry box.
Literati love seals, and Huang Yuan couldn't leave his eyes after seeing the bloodstone. Immediately, Wei Qian opened the gift for Mrs. Huang again.
Huang Yuancai reluctantly withdrew his gaze and ordered someone to invite his wife over. At the same time, he said: "My family can't live with Brother Wei, if you want to dissolve the marriage contract, you only need to return the token, why do you need to do this?" β
"Dissolution of the marriage?" Wei Yan pretended to be surprised: "Why did Brother Huang say this? Since Qian'er and Ling Gongzi have made a marriage contract, they are from the Huang Mansion. In the future, when Qian'er comes out of the cabinet, she can marry into the Yellow Mansion. β
"Not lifted?" Mrs. Huang walked out and was also shocked: "Huang Bao's son ran away from home, and your mansion is really ready to let Qian girl come to us?" β
Wei Yan smiled: "I have a good relationship with Brother Huang, will my brother treat my girl poorly?" β
Wei Qian bowed and whispered: "My niece doesn't know too much, but since the marriage contract is here, I will marry into the Huang Mansion in the future to serve my father and mother and wait for the return of the Huang family's elder brother." If he really gets bad news one day, he can also use the secret marriage to make a ceremony. β
Seeing the father and daughter talking, Jia Mei also stepped forward to hold Mrs. Huang: "My sister and Lord Huang lost their children in middle age, if there is filial piety in the future, Brother Yan and I can be relieved." β
Wei Yan and his wife stepped forward to pull the relationship, and threw all kinds of obedient words out like money, which made Huang Yuan and his wife dizzy. The two were greatly moved, and Mrs. Huang took Wei Qian's hand and promised: "Since my sister can be trusted, I will treat Qian'er like a daughter in the future, and I will not allow others to bully!" β
When the matter came to an end, Wei Yan made a direct decision: "Go back and clean up the house today, and let Qian'er move to Huangfu tomorrow to comfort my sister-in-law's heart." β
In the end, he was born as a military attachΓ©, and he acted neatly,
Waiting for the Wei family to leave, Huang Yuan and his wife looked at each other.
Mrs. Huang sighed: "No matter what, the Wei Mansion has done this, husband, there are some things you need to work on." β
"Yes, whether it's hypocrisy or hypocrisy, if you do this step to give face, I should also think about how to repay it."
