Chapter 141: List
When Li Luan'er and Gu Xin were about to fall asleep, a girl came in to call her, Li Luan'er hurriedly dressed up and went out of the house, and saw Mrs. Jin standing under the laurel tree outside the house and beckoning to her.
Li Luan'er hurriedly went over to help Mrs. Jin, said goodbye to Mrs. Gu, and went to the front yard to call Li Chun's family and walk back slowly.
When she returned home, Mrs. Jin was surprisingly excited, and pulled Li Luan'er to say that she had something to say to her.
Li Luan'er had no choice but to send Li Chun back to the house to sleep first, then made tea herself, and sat aside to talk to Mrs. Jin.
Mrs. Jin held the teacup in both hands, which warmed her cold hands a lot, and then she took a sip and said thoughtfully: "The thief who came from the Gu family today was sent by Jun Mowei, the purpose is to ruin Gu Xin's innocence, so that there is an excuse to withdraw from the Gu family's family affairs." ”
Li Luan'er didn't think it was strange, and nodded: "I thought that the Gu family and the Jun family's family affairs would not be successful, if Uncle Gu was here, Jun Mo would ask his son to marry Gu Xin for the sake of the Gu family's money, but now that Gu Ming is younger, and the Gu family has no big prospects, Jun Mo naturally wants to find a better family for his son, but he is afraid that he will not be able to bear the Gu family's money, but he thought of such an insidious idea, that is, he can return the Gu family's marriage, and get the Gu family's money, he is really a villain." ”
"You're right." Mrs. Jin smiled: "I also told her that I am Jun Mowei's ex-wife who was kicked out of the house, and Mrs. Gu wants to cooperate with us." ”
Li Luan'er held her chin with her hands and thought for a while: "This is also feasible, although the Gu family is a little dilapidated, but where is the foundation, if he really goes out to make trouble with Jun Mowei, I am afraid it will be enough for him to have a headache." ”
"I don't agree with that." Mrs. Jin is a serious ancient, although she has more experience, and her knowledge is much stronger than that of ordinary women, but her thinking has been fixed, she thinks that in terms of power and money, power is more important than money, and the Gu family is rich, but she can't withstand the blows of those in power: "Jun Mo has been an official for many years, and his connections and scheming are not comparable to the Gu family." ”
Li Luan'er smiled: "You can't rely on the Gu family alone, isn't this with us." ”
"We?" Mrs. Jin sneered: "What can we do? Is it relying on my medical skills, or relying on your strength, or is it Feng'er, who only entered the palace and did not gain a firm foothold. ”
Li Luan'er pointed to her head: "No, it depends on our brains." ”
At this moment, Mrs. Jin was even more confused.
Li Luan'er sighed, and patiently explained to Mrs. Jin: "Madam, the world says that Shinong and industrialists belittle businessmen very lowly, and it seems that businessmen are very weak and looked down upon, but in fact they are not. ”
These words were also fresh, and Mrs. Kim listened to them for a while.
I heard Li Luan'er smile again: "If it weren't for the merchants' potential energy to threaten the royal rule, how could the emperors of the past dynasties attack the merchants like that, that is, the dynasties and dynasties tried their best to suppress them, but those big businessmen can still cause threats to those in power, not to mention, they are the salt merchants in Yangzhou, the tea merchants in Shudi, and the border merchants in the north. ”
Mrs. Jin nodded when she heard this, but she still disagreed: "It's just that how can they join forces?" ”
"It's man-made." Li Luan'er sighed: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there has been no shadow of a big businessman in the change of dynasty, Madame think about Lu Buwei, think about the Qi family, and think about the Ding family when Taizu." ”
Mrs. Jin sweated on her head when she said this: "It seems that the world is blindfolded." ”
"Isn't it?" Li Luan'er knocked on the table: "Not to mention, it is that there are a large number of royal families in the previous dynasty, and the royal family with such side branches is really tight, and the official family in order to make their lives better, they set regulations, how much money the dowry reaches, you can marry a royal woman to enter the door, from the township lord to the county lord to the county lord, the price code is not the same, at that time, there were many large merchants in order to be glamorous, they really took out the money to ask the royal woman to enter the marriage, and there was even a family in the rich country who married more than a dozen county lords and county lords at one time, madam, This is the power of merchants, and it is also the power of money. ”
Madame Kim did know these things, but she never thought about them in that direction.
I heard Li Luan'er say again: "Even now, madam, look at how many officials and businessmen collude, those big businessmen marry their own children to official women, and those who are officials marry the daughters of businessmen as wives and concubines...... And what is it? ”
"This ......," Mrs. Kim still couldn't figure out what to do.
Li Luan'er lowered her voice: "The only plan for today is to find out which ministers in the court and the central government are not dealing with Jun Mowei, and which ones have a grudge against him, and then figure it out later." ”
"Okay." Mrs. Jin nodded in response: "I'll ask someone to inquire, and you think about it carefully, what will we do in the future." ”
"I understand." Li Luan'er shook Mrs. Jin's hand: "We are not for the Gu family, but also for ourselves, sooner or later we will be enemies with Jun Mo, so it is better for him to make a move before he knows that Mrs. is saving and reacting, than if he saves his mind to deal with us." ”
Mrs. Jin felt that Li Luan'er's words were very right, so she also nodded in agreement, and talked to Li Luan'er for a while before letting her go back to rest.
Li Luan'er tossed for more than half the night, and couldn't sleep when she returned to the room, so she simply didn't sleep, practiced the sub-body technique for a while, and cut paper and ink to draw a small piece of gongbi painting, and saw that it was dawn, so she stretched her waist and called someone to come in to fetch water and wash her face.
After breakfast, the Yan family asked Mrs. Jin to agree on the date of marriage, Mrs. Jin cleaned up and took the girl to go, and when she came back, she told Li Luaner that the date had been set, and after Li Chun got married for more than a month, it was the winter season, Li Luaner wrote down the day, and asked someone to buy a lot of fabrics, silk threads, etc., and took them to the sewing room to explain clearly and began to make the objects of marriage.
At this time, the Li family was busy forming an alliance with the Gu family, and was busy with Li Luan'er's brother and sister getting married.
At that time, the Yan family quarreled again for the dowry.
But it was Yan Bao's family that was called by the old general Yan, only saying that Yan Chengyue's marriage date was set, according to the old general's meaning, although Yan Chengyue said that he had split up, but he still had to be married in the old house of the Yan family, and asked Yan Baojia to clean up the yard where Yan Chengyue originally lived, and change some belongings to marry him, and said that the young couple became relatives and lived in the old house for a few days, and when they returned to the door, they went to live in the new house.
The old general's plan was understood by Yan Baojia, and he agreed.
Yan Chengyue and Li Luan'er's fate he already knows, for fear that this little couple will affect him, naturally unwilling to contact Yan Chengyue and his wife, according to his meaning, Yan Chengyue does not have to go back to the old house to get married, and the wedding will be held directly in the new house, but he does not dare to refute General Yan, so he can only respond with a smile, and said: "According to my meaning, there is no need to go back to the door, after becoming a family to worship the ancestors, Chengyue will take the bride to the new house, in the end, the newlyweds, the little two are sticky, You don't have to keep counting in front of us old guys. ”
General Yan also likes to listen to this, and feels that Yan Bao's family is still very planning for Yan Chengyue, so he also smiled a little more: "In the end, you are his father, so naturally you think about him a lot, I look very good, so let's do it." ”
"Since my father also thinks it's good, then I'll go back and talk to the Lin family and ask her to clean up Chengyue's yard." Yan Baojia flattered General Yan for a few words, and then got to the point: "It just so happened that Lin and I filled in the dowry list, and my father will see if it will be successful." ”
General Yan took the list handed by Yan Baojia, glanced at it a few times, and suddenly the expression on his face was a little bad.
"This is the dowry you discussed with the Lin family?"
Old General Yan threw the list on the ground: "Boss, do you look down on the Li family, or look down on your son." ”
As soon as Yan Baojia heard this, he hurriedly lowered his hand and stood aside: "Father is serious, Lin and I don't know how much dowry to pay, but later Lin mentioned it, saying that the Li family is where the family is, and I am afraid that there has been a lot of blood when I send her second lady into the palace, and Li Dalang has not married a wife, I am afraid that I will have to leave a lot of silver taels to live with Li Dalang to have a happy event, and when it comes to Aunt Li, I am afraid that I will not be able to give much dowry, if we give too much dowry, I am afraid that the Li family will not be able to get the corresponding dowry, but it will make people embarrassed." ”
General Yan's face turned the color of pig's liver, panting heavily, and he stretched out his hand to point at Yan Baojia: "You, you, listen to what you call it, this is your fatherly heart for Chengyue?" I think you don't want Cheng Yue to be good, if you really think that the Li family is thin, you should give more dowry, and ask Mrs. Li to buy a good dowry, how can you be like you, you dislike your daughter-in-law's dowry, so you don't want to give more dowry, strictly protect the family, and you are embarrassed to say it. ”
"Father." Yan Baojia saw that the old general was anxious, and hurriedly went over to help him: "Father, don't be angry, your son just listens to you, and your son is here, so go back and add more dowry." ”
Old General Yan sighed and waved his hand: "Baojia, have you heard of a saying, that is, people cannot be disguised, and the sea water cannot be measured. ”
"My son knows." Yan Baojia hurriedly replied.
The old general's voice was getting old, and there was a lot of hatred for iron and steel: "You really underestimate people, do you really think that the Li family is thin, then you should look at what Li Erniang brought into the palace." ”
While speaking, General Yan sent a list to Yan Bao's house: "After reading it, it will be ruined, I was cheeky and got it from Lao Xing." ”
"Ugh." Yan Baojia agreed, took the list and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and in the end, his hands trembled and he couldn't even hold the list: "This, this, how is it possible?" ”
"How can't it be." General Yan sneered: "Don't think too highly of yourself, really when our Yan family's money can be called a rich family, you look at the objects that Li Erniang brought into the palace, as well as the gold and silver at the bottom of the box, not to mention those treasures and antiques, that is, the silver ticket alone has a huge 300,000 taels, and the golden ticket is about 50,000 taels. It is impossible for people to take all their family funds to Li Erniang to the palace. ”RS
