The two family members agreed with a shocking voice, and they were going to step forward to get someone.

When Du Jinkao heard that he was going to send him to the yamen, he was first bluffed by three points, and when he heard that he was going to implicate those individuals who helped him make a marriage contract, he was even more shocked. I secretly regretted that I should not have listened to the instigation of his eldest brother-in-law and told such a lie.

Seeing that the two strong men who seemed to be like their own physique approaching violently, in a panic, blurted out: "Wait a ha, wait a ha, this marriage book is not with the Wang family's lady." ”

Mother Zhao was anxious when she heard him, her accent was much heavier, she forced the corners of her mouth to rise, raised her hand to stop the two family members, and asked in a deep voice: "Then who did you set a marriage letter with?" ”

"It's Grandma Wang." Du Jinkao's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were on the two family members who were standing in front of him like a small mountain. Thinking in his heart, these two were completely different from those white-skinned servants with thin arms and thin legs outside the city, and if they really fought, he was afraid that he would have to suffer.

"Which is the grandmother of the Wang family?" Zhao's mother asked.

Du Jin took the test and settled his mind, "It's the mother-in-law of the Wang family." ”

Jiang's mother wanted to scare him, and then took the extra word "Dou" on the marriage book and forced him to ask, but she didn't expect him to confess so easily, so she recruited Cuiping to pass the word.

Mother Zhao got the order and sneered at Du Jinkao, "When did you make a marriage contract with Grandma Wang?" Then the grandmother of the Wang family asked you for a large amount of gift money? ”

Seeing that Du Jinkao hesitated and didn't answer, he sneered again, "This son, what you said today, my master is going to send someone to Xi'an City to verify them one by one, you'd better tell the truth." If there is half a lie, it will be a lawsuit.

There are so many witnesses that I am not afraid that you will deny it when the time comes. ”

Du Jinkao knew that it was useless to cover up at this time, and through the gap between the two family members, he stared at the blurred figure behind the screen, "I didn't mean to lie, the grandmother of the Wang family found me that day......"

"What day was that?" Zhao's mother interrupted him.

"On the second day of the first month of last year...... Twenty-five. When he said this, Du Jinkao's voice involuntarily lowered, and his face was hot when he heard the onlookers buzzing and discussing. coughed. Suppress the shame in your heart. continued, "Grandma Wang said that when the lady of the Wang family left, she confessed, and she wanted to give Miss Jian to me as a daughter-in-law, and asked me for a gift of three hundred taels of silver. ”

What is the relationship between the grandmother of the Wang family and the lady of the Wang family. Something happened. He was not unheard. Not long after Jian Lan and Lu. The grandmother of the Wang family still came to the door, stalking, grinding and soaking. wanted to force the lady of the Wang family to give Jian Lanxu to an old fortune to fill the house, but was beaten out by the mother and daughter and the girl.

He was afraid that the lady of the Wang family would be gone, and Jian Lan, a weak woman, could not compete with the grandmother of the Wang family, and she would be married to someone by her. During the day, he mixed in with the people who helped with the funeral, and at night he stayed outside the gate of the small courtyard.

This is probably how it attracted the eyes of the Wang family's grandmother.

He was already interested in Jian Lan, and when the Wang family's grandmother found him and said that she wanted to marry Jian Lan Xu to him, he didn't mention how much he liked it. Maybe he subconsciously thinks that it is much better for Jian Lan to marry him than to marry an old man to fill the house. So he didn't think about it to discern the truth of Grandma Wang's words, and he didn't even think about asking Jian Lan what she meant, so he agreed.

His winemaking skills are not as good as Du Laohan, and he does not have that persistence and enthusiasm, and after taking over the winery, the business is not as good as before, and he can only barely survive. In order to make up the gift money, he sold the winery and got four hundred and fifty taels.

Three hundred taels were exchanged for a marriage letter, and the remaining silver was going to go to the back alley to rent a small courtyard, live in the same alley as Jian Lan, and get married immediately after each other's filial piety period has passed.

When he had settled down and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door, he found that the courtyard was empty. asked the neighbors, only to find out that before the engagement, his fiancée left with the girl.

He hurriedly went to find the Wang family's grandmother to ask for someone, and the same person went to the empty house. I inquired carefully with the person who rented the Wang family's shop, and said that the Wang family's grandmother and the old man had collected their rent for two years, and they didn't know where to go to distant relatives.

I inquired around with acquaintances again, and learned that Jian Lan did not go with the two elders of the Wang family, but went to find her biological father. As for where to look, there are different opinions, and there is no accurate score.

He had nowhere to look for it, so he could only rent the small courtyard where Jian Lan lived and wait for her to come back.

Last month, he accidentally heard from a merchant that the Jian family in Jinan Mansion had recently recognized a young lady from the Jian family, and it was said that the young lady looked exactly like a girl from the Jian family. also said that the twin daughters were ominous, so they were fostered outside as soon as they were born, and they were taken back as adults, and they were promised as nominal daughters, and the marriage date was set for August 18.

Hearing the name of "Jian Lan", he couldn't sit still, borrowed some silver from his sister and sister, and followed the caravan to Jinan Mansion all the way to find it.

His eldest brother-in-law was a man of some learning and had seen the world. I heard that the Jian family was one of the largest families in Jinan Mansion, so he said that he was afraid that this family would not be able to recognize him, and persuaded him to die of this heart. He thinks that Jian Lan is not the kind of girl who hates the poor and loves the rich and does not admit it, so she insists on coming.

His eldest brother-in-law persuaded him not to stay, so he found a torture room where he worked in the yamen and helped him inspect the marriage certificate. Teach him how to intercept the sedan chair, others ask him how to deal with it, and tell him that big families are used to making some vicious and despicable tricks, telling him that he must not leave people's eyes, and he must not let the marriage certificate leave his hand, etc.

After agreeing with him like this, I let him go out.

It's a pity that he is an honest man in his bones, and he can't stand the scare of others, so he tells the truth.

What kind of person is Aunt Tan's in-laws, Jiang's mother has also heard Jian Ying's predecessor talk about it, and after listening to Du Jinkao's words, she has sorted out the ins and outs of the matter eight or nine points in her heart.

It must be that the old Dou family is planning to wait for Aunt Tan to die, Jian Lan, a little girl who is like a flower and jade, is helpless, and can only fall into her hands at her mercy, she can sell it or allow a rich family to exchange for a sum of silver to spend flowers.

didn't know that Jian Lan had already been instructed by Aunt Tan, and as soon as the first seven days passed, she secretly left Xi'an with the girl. Seeing that he was empty of people and money, the old Dou family was quite unwilling, so he hit the idea on the stupid boy of the winemaker. Under the pretext that Aunt Tan was entrusted, she set up a family affair and tricked Du Jin into taking a sum of money.

Although it is very sympathetic that Du Jinkao was deceived by that Wang Po, he himself is too naïve and can't complain about others.

waved over Cuiping, and whispered a string of words.

Mother Zhao was instructed, so she said loudly: "Living in the same city, the son must also know that my young lady has never entered the Wang family genealogy, and the mother and daughter broke with the Wang family many years ago, separated from each other, and are strangers to the Wang family's grandmother."

My young lady has a great-grandfather and grandmother, and a father and mother, and her marriage is not the turn of an irrelevant person to decide.

The marriage book in the son's hand is too many to count! ”

When Du Jinkao heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Why can't you count?" I went to the yamen to ask if I was hungry, the Wang family's lady was gone, and the Wang family's grandmother was her closest person. is not a naturalized pedigree, and she is also her cousin and grandmother, who has done her master! ”
