Jin Wanguan didn't even ask, only packed Zhen Shijie's outfits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhen Shijie thought that his brother-in-law had done too much in the past few years, so he proposed to bring his parents to office.
Jin Wanguan said: "The situation in Queensland is still unclear, let the second elder suffer in the past? Even if you and your stepfather and mother were willing, I still didn't want to, if I hadn't been taken in by my stepfather and stepmother, maybe I wouldn't have known where I would have died. ā
As long as Zhen Shijie brought up this matter, Jin Wanguan was absolutely angry. In the end, Zhen Shijie had no choice, seeing that his parents really didn't want to leave his hometown, he went to work alone.
In recent years, Jin Wanguan has become more and more wealthy, and after the autonomy of Qingzhou, Princess Huanji reused him very much, and he became the speaker of the Qingzhou Group, and he already had a high status in Qingzhou. Therefore, Jin Wanguan was even more reluctant for the second elder of the Zhen family to leave for Queensland.
Zhen Shijie vowed to be a clean official because of the county officials accepting bribes and persecuting the Jin family, and Zhen Shijie has done it all these years, but he is very poor.
Because Zhen Shijie is a Qing official, his life on weekdays is not very rich, but fortunately, Jin Wanguan gives him silver money to supplement him every year.
Because Zhen Shijie himself had a bad life, he never mentioned the matter of letting the second elder of the Zhen family come over, and the second elder of the Zhen family was supported by Jin Wanguan like this. People who don't know think that the second elder of the Zhen family is Jin Wanguan's biological parents, and even Jin Wanguan's marriage is the master of the second elder of the Zhen family.
Zhen Shijie also married, he was married in Queensland, but he was pitiful that the biological son of the Zhen family had to say and marry himself, because they were too far away.
When Zhen Shijie was married, he sent a letter to Qingzhou City, saying that his immediate boss valued him and wanted to marry his daughter to him, and asked the second elder of the Zhen family if he agreed.
The second elder of the Zhen family naturally would not object, after Jin Wanguan learned about it, he let the second elder of the Zhen family stay in Qingzhou, and personally brought a large number of goods to Jiangnan, and after he resold the goods, he went to the South China Sea to collect a lot of pearls and other treasures, and then transferred from the South China Sea to Queensland.
After Jin Wanguan arrived in Queensland, he learned that Zhen Shijie had not yet given a dowry, so he went to Murong's house in the name of Zhen Shijie's brother to give a dowry.
Zhen Shijie is a well-known Qing official in Queensland, and his life is also notoriously hard, but he is very loved by the people. His year's income was basically spent on the construction of the place, and his political performance was good, and he was promoted to the sixth grade master in a few years, and worked under the current Queensland prefect.
Zhen Shijie married the daughter of the Queensland prefect, and the Queensland prefect Murong took a fancy to Zhen Shijie very early, but unfortunately the prefect's wife thought Zhen Shijie was too poor and was reluctant to let her daughter suffer. In the end, it was Miss Murong who took a fancy to Zhen Shijie, and the prefect's wife was relieved.
When the prefect's wife saw the dowry, she said: "I didn't expect the Zhen family to be so rich, I almost ruined my daughter's good marriage." ā
The prefect only had this one daughter, so he put the dowry on the dowry and let the daughter take it to the Zhen family.
The place where Zhen Shijie lives is very simple, and it is all built of thatched houses.
Jin Wanguan was already the first shareholder of Qingzhou Group at this time, and he was also a talker, he had already lived the life of Master Jin, so he was naturally not used to living here.
When Jin Wanguan came to Queensland and saw Zhen Shijie's residence, he was angry, and scolded Zhen Shijie for living like this alone, and he didn't even know how to talk to his family.
Zhen Shijie thinks that his parents are now supported by his brother-in-law, and every year his brother-in-law gives him a lot of money, and his money is subsidized by the poor people, so he is embarrassed to ask his family for money again.
Jin Wanguan ignored him and bought Zhen Shijie a mansion in the best location in Queensland, and it was connected to the prefect's house. It's a pity that the wedding date is approaching, and the new house has no time to be rebuilt, so it can only be used first.
Jin Wanguan was very dissatisfied with this, and his face was as black as the bottom of the pot in front of Zhen Shijie, and Zhen Shijie was in charge of the loss.
Zhen Shijie's wedding was very grand, and the flowing water banquet was set for three days. It's a pity that Jin Wanguan is still not satisfied, the time is too rushed.
What he didn't know was that the prefect's family was very satisfied, and the bride was also very happy, she was preparing for her wedding very simply, and she had eaten coarse tea and light rice after marrying.
Early the next morning, the bride gave Jin Wanguan tea and called her uncle.
Jin Wanguan said: "Brother and sister don't need to be polite, this is a meeting gift for you." Jin Wanguan took a red envelope and handed it to Murong Clan.
Murong glanced at Zhen Shijie, and Zhen Shijie said, "You can take what your brother gave." ā
Because Zhen Shijie's previous family was very small, Mrs. Murong was afraid that her uncle would have an idea in her heart, so she only let a nurse and a maid marry into the Zhen family.
The little maid helped Miss Murong back to the room and asked, "Miss, I planned for us to do the housework ourselves, but the eldest man looks very rich, do you still need us to do it?" ā
Murong said, "I don't know. ā
The nurse said: "Just now, the old man asked people to come over and say that we will be called over when the dinner is held, and the young lady should take a rest first." ā
Murong nodded and said, "This is a red envelope from the uncle, the nurse will help collect it, the uncle can't help us all the time, and we still have to rely on ourselves for many things." ā
The nurse took the red envelope, and the little maid asked, "How much money will the old man put in it?" ā
The nurse took out the silver ticket and said, "It seems that there are a lot." Then the nurse was stunned.
The little maid looked at the silver ticket and shouted, "One thousand taels, the eldest master actually gave one thousand taels." ā
Murong hurriedly got up and took the silver ticket, and said, "Isn't it, it's really a thousand taels, and the uncle gave too much, so I'd better ask the prince about this money." ā
Murong quietly went to the study to find Zhen Shijie, and Zhen Shijie was very happy to see his wife come to him with a silver ticket to discuss. After all, not all daughters are so knowledgeable.
Zhen Shijie said: "Madame, just keep it with peace of mind, my brother-in-law blames me for the haste of the marriage, and this money will be used by you to renovate the house." ā
Murong blushed and said, "That should also be given to the husband." ā
Zhen Shijie said: "Brother Yi must have given it to you because he was afraid that I would use it to help the people, so you can take it." ā
When the three dynasties returned to the door, Jin Wanguan prepared the gifts for the Murong clan to return to the door early in the morning, and the two carriages were full.
After breakfast, Jin Wanguan asked Murong to go back to his parents' house earlier, and the return ceremony was outside the door, and he had already made people ready.
When Murong Shi packed up his things and went out with the maid, he saw two carriages, and Murong Shi lifted the carriage and said, "Xianggong, is there too much that the uncle has prepared?" ā
Zhen Shijie said: "It seems that there are too many. ā
Jin Wanguan said on the side: "I don't see much, don't delay the hour, hurry up." ā
Zhen Shijie knew that he couldn't talk about his brother-in-law, so he had to help his wife get into the carriage. The earlier the return time and the more gifts you have, the more satisfied the husband's family is with the new daughter-in-law.
