Chapter 103
Tang Shaozheng stopped him impatiently, "That's it for today, and tomorrow, you come to me in the yamen." ”
When Jiang Huai heard this, he almost jumped up excitedly, and agreed in a stack.
Jiang Wanbai was a little anxious on the side, this Jiang Huai was not a good person at first glance, if Tang Shaozheng used him, wouldn't he lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
Could it be because Tang Shaozheng really wanted this blood gall agate, so he did this? Jiang Wanbai thought about it, and suddenly felt that the agate in her hand was very hot, and quickly handed the agate to Tang Shaozheng, and she motioned for him to return the agate to Jiang Huai.
Tang Shaozheng didn't think about swallowing Jiang Huai's agate like this, handed the agate to Jiang Huai, and said: "The matter of being an errand under me, I can't decide until I try you tomorrow."
As for this agate, if you are willing to sell it to me, you can tell me how much it will cost. ”
Jiang Huaizheng was full of worries about the errand, how dare he mention any money, while waving his hand, he said: "I said it, this is a congratulatory gift for my cousin and cousin-in-law, how can I still collect money." ”
"If you don't take the money, you can take this agate back, as if I haven't seen it today." Tang Shaozheng said, stuffing the agate into Jiang Huai's hand.
"This ......" Jiang Huai held the agate, his eyes rolling around, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he suddenly stretched out two fingers of his index finger and middle finger, and said with a flattering smile: "That's the price." ”
Jiang Huai is really a bit of a clever person, Tang Shaozheng said in his heart, he didn't say how much it was, but only stretched out two fingers, if he really wanted to buy it at the market price, he would definitely give him a high price, if he was just bluffing just now, and wanted to swallow this treasure, he only needed to say a very low price.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Tang Shaozheng showed a smile, "Twenty thousand taels, it's quite reasonable, but I don't have so much cash on hand, can I raise it for a few days?" ”
Twenty thousand taels, Jiang Wanbai and Jiang Huai were dumbfounded, and looked at Tang Shaozheng in a daze.
"What, are you in dire need of money?" Tang Shaozheng asked Jiang Huai.
"Huh? Yes! Jiang Huai said a few times before he reacted, "Don't worry, don't worry, cousin-in-law just go and raise it." ”
Tang Shaozheng nodded, found a pen and paper, and wrote a contract, to the effect that he bought Jiang Huai's monkey peach blood gall gall agate, with 20,000 taels of silver, and from then on, the silver goods were gone.
Then, he wrote another IOU to Jiang Huai, saying that within a month, he would pay back the money.
Jiang Huai took the document and the IOU, and he still felt as if he was in a dream, not knowing whether he should take the money or not, but in the end, he didn't resist the temptation.
Death is death, Jiang Huaiyi gritted his teeth and put things into his sleeve.
"Okay, I'll take this agate, you can go to the yamen tomorrow and report my name directly." Tang Shaozheng began to send off guests.
Jiang Huai's trip can be regarded as a bumper harvest, so he simply left, before leaving, he also told Jiang Wanbai that the white dog outside was given to the Tian family, hoping that Jiang Wanbai could treat it well, so that Jiang Wanbai couldn't cry or laugh.
However, this matter is not a big deal, the key is what happened just now, as soon as Jiang Huai left, Jiang Wanbai immediately asked Tang Shaozheng, "Do you really want him to be an errand under you?" ”
"Why not?" Tang Shaozheng said.
"He's not right at first glance, and if something gets into trouble, won't it hurt you."
"Mother, do you think that all the people who do things in the government are decent men and gentlemen? They pulled it out one by one, maybe it was several times worse than this Jiang Huai, more than ten times.
I think this Jiang Huai is a malleable talent, if it can be used by me, I will be able to read a lot easier in the future;。 Tang Shaozheng said.
At this time, Jiang Wanbai didn't know what to say, Tang Shaozheng was not a child, and even had more actual age and life experience than her, perhaps, she was really too worried.
Tang Shaozheng saw Jiang Wanbai's sad face, and hurriedly said: "I know that my mother is worried about me, don't worry, I know in my heart, a little Jiang Huai can't make any big waves."
By the way, mother, this is for you. As he spoke, he handed the agate in his hand to Jiang Wanbai.
"This is ......" Jiang Wanbai had a faint guess in her heart, but she couldn't believe it, this thing was worth 20,000 taels, did Tang Shaozheng just give it to her.
"Mother, the last dowry, Yinfeng has been haunted, I feel sorry for you, this time, it is rare to meet a mother who likes something so much, I gave it to you for Yinfeng, and it can be regarded as fulfilling her filial piety." Tang Shaozheng said that he was about to stuff the agate into Jiang Wanbai's hand.
Where is Jiang Wanbai willing to take it, "This thing is too valuable, it's not what I should have now, just look at Jiang Huai, you can know it, there is no identity and family background that matches it, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, this thing can only cause trouble." ”
"This is just a plaything, my mother has put it away, who will know." The more Tang Shaozheng spoke, the less confident he became, and it seemed that he also knew that what Jiang Wanbai said just now made sense.
"There is no impermeable wall in the world." In particular, Jiang Wanbai didn't trust Jiang Huai, and reached out to push the agate back, she continued, "Don't blame me for being verbose, I always feel that you have bought this thing without consideration, otherwise, you go home and discuss with your family what to do with it?" ”
As soon as Jiang Wanbai said this, Tang Shaozheng finally calmed down, just now he was only thinking about making Jiang Wanbai happy, but he didn't expect these things to happen later, it was really a mistake.
According to Jiang Wanbai, going back to the Tang family is indeed the safest way, but Tang Shaozheng doesn't want to do it at all.
Jiang Wanbai saw that Tang Shaozheng's face was a little wrong, and after thinking about it for a while, she thought of the reason, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, he was sick with a heart, and he had to tie the bell to solve the bell, and she couldn't help.
However, about this agate, "By the way, on the birthday of the emperor and the queen, will the Tang family give gifts?" ”
"In half a month, it will be the emperor's birthday, and my mother means ......"
Jiang Wanbai nodded.
"But ......" Tang Shaozheng hesitated, this agate is indeed the best birthday gift, but he doesn't want to offer it in the name of the Tang family at all, but if it weren't in the name of the Tang family, he, a little official, is not qualified to do that, it's really annoying.
Jiang Wan's vernacular has come to this, so she won't say more, in fact, she really hopes to take this opportunity to make Tang Shaozheng reconcile with her family, but she doesn't know that God will not fulfill people's wishes.
The two of them were relatively speechless, and after I don't know how long, the sun was setting in the west, Tang Shaozheng suddenly let out a sigh of relief, his expression was relaxed, it seemed that he should have made a decision, however, Jiang Wanbai didn't ask, and when the matter was over, she would naturally know the result.
Tang Shaozheng couldn't help but look at Jiang Wanbai, as if he wanted to say something, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then, with a lift of the door curtain, Tian Yinfeng came back.
She was surprised to see Tang Shaozheng here, but quickly pressed aside and sat down beside Jiang Wanbai angrily.
"Yinfeng, what's wrong, who made you angry?" Tang Shaozheng suddenly remembered that Tian Yinfeng went to the city to see a doctor, and his heart suddenly slipped up, he actually wanted a child between him and Tian Yinfeng, especially after yesterday's conversation with Jiang Wanbai.
Tian Yinfeng seemed to be really angry, she didn't answer Tang Shaozheng's words immediately, but took Jiang Wanbai's hand and said, "Mother, you agree to the matter of the second brother taking a concubine?" ”
After speaking, her eye circles were still a little red, the concubine was a scar in her heart, it hurt when she touched it, and her second brother, the second brother who was so good to her, actually wanted to take a concubine, how could she not be disappointed, how could she not be sad.
"What concubine?" Jiang Wanbai was confused.
"This time I went into the city with my second brother and second sister-in-law, and the doctor said that my second sister-in-law was depressed and it was difficult to get pregnant, and I wanted to comfort them, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and I was still wondering what was going on.
As a result, when we left the capital, the second brother did not leave directly, but went to the betrayer's Yazi, saying that he wanted to buy a concubine.
I quarreled with them at the time, but they were determined to buy it, so I got angry, so I left them and hired a car to come back first.
I guess after a while, they should be back. Mother, don't you know about this? Tian Yinfeng's speed of speech was urgent and fast, obviously, she had not calmed down until now.
Jiang Wanbai's face changed immediately, the Wang family couldn't get pregnant, the doctor said that it was the reason for the depression, why did she do this, and even if she really couldn't give birth, it would be good to raise one, take a concubine, what a loss they thought of.
"Go, come with me to the door and wait for them, I want to see what they have to say." After Jiang Wanbai finished speaking, she got off the kang and walked outside.
Tian Yinfeng naturally followed closely behind her.
Tang Shaozheng also frowned and followed.
They were so in a hurry, the rest of the Tian family, Tian Laosan and Tian Laosi, and Tian Laosi were naturally alarmed, and they also followed to the door, and now, this formation became a little bigger.
Jiang Wan stood there angrily and looked at the official road, and when she saw everyone coming out, she felt very unpresentable, so she let them all go in again, and stood at the door and watched.
After looking at it for a while, at the end of the official road, Tian Lao Er came in an ox cart, and there was another woman from the Wang family sitting on the ox cart, needless to say, it was also Tian Lao Er who bought a concubine.
Really did it, Jiang Wan's white anger surged upward, waiting for them to come over with a calm face.
Tian Lao Er and the Wang family also saw Jiang Wanbai, and they felt ashamed, they got off the ox cart together, and while looking at Jiang Wanbai worriedly, they slowed down as much as possible, looking at what they meant, it is estimated that they want to be slower than a snail.
However, even if you walk such a long way, no matter how slow you walk, it will only take a minute to finish.
When the ox cart stopped at the door of Tian's house, the woman in the cart immediately came down with something in her arms, and Jiang Wanbai saw the woman's face and the things in her arms.
The woman was about twenty years old, very delicate, but she seemed to be sick, her face was a little yellow, and there was such an unnatural red in the yellow, she didn't look like a healthy person anyway.
And what she was holding in her arms was not anything, but a baby, about two years old, a little thin, like a kitten.
At this moment, the baby was crying, crying weakly, if Jiang Wanbai hadn't seen that he was a baby, he probably wouldn't have guessed that this voice was crying
