162 Meeting in the Pavilion
At this time, she also understood the reason why he wanted to meddle in Liujiacun Academy.
Wang Shiqiang wants to win people's hearts, why doesn't he Lou Yun mean this?
Ooth and Loweh laughed at the same time.
But Na Wushi still smacked his lips and said:
"After Lord Lou and the Lord of Shunchang County got married, they were originally all smooth, and Sun Zhao was embarrassed to scold Lord Lou. He used to be a teacher in the Zongxue in Quanzhou City, and he had a good relationship with Zhao Binglin. Now when I heard that Lord Lou was suddenly going to withdraw from his family. And he jumped out—"
Ji Qingchen never expected that there was a relationship with Zhao Binglin in this.
She guessed that Lou Yun may not have thought of this benefit when he was engaged, but when he suddenly withdrew from his marriage, Zhao Binglin's close friends were naturally dissatisfied.
He suffered a lot of losses when he quit his family.
She couldn't help but think of what happened to Lou Yun watching Zhao Deyuan by the bridge just now.
She couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Lord Lou, he regrets it now-"
Why bother to quit your family?
She also vaguely understood that the reason for Lou Yun's withdrawal was related to her, and she shook her head and said:
"Lord Lou is shrewd in other things, but he made a mistake in this marriage, he was afraid that it was the first time he saw the county lord-"
Ji Ruiniang had been listening quietly on the side, but at this time, her eyes turned and she happened to see Lou Yun behind the tree.
She was still surprised, as soon as Lou Yun heard Ji Qingchen say that he regretted quitting his family, where could he hide, he immediately jumped out from behind the tree.
"Owner."
He took two steps forward and stood on the Merlin stone path under the pavilion, smiling slightly.
Ji Qingchen was taken aback, and turned his head sideways to see the Merlin Sandwich outside the pavilion.
She didn't expect that when this ferry was empty, there were still people standing in the dry plum forest just now.
What's more, it's Lou Yun who has just been talked about by them.
“…… Lou Lord. ”
She stood up. looked at him as quietly as possible, and could only hide the embarrassment of the person who was talking behind his back just now, and said with a smile:
"Lord Lou is also going back?"
Lou Yun glanced at the servant women beside her, knowing that they were all henchmen, so she simply smiled:
"I'm coming to the owner."
“……”
Not only did Ji Qingchen not know how to answer for a while, but the eyes of both Lloyd's and Wu's looked at him in surprise.
In the bridge pavilion by Tu's Lake, only Ji Ruiniang is young. After all, I don't quite understand the difference between men and women among the Song people. There is only curiosity in the eyes.
When Lloy saw Lou Yun, he was shocked and happy.
She felt that she was not wrong, this Lou Yun was interested in Ji Qingchen. So I looked for opportunities to speak.
The Wu clan was overjoyed and surprised, and felt that he must have come out in person to talk about the matter of the port of mail-if Tang Fang also supported the Chen family to marry the Sun family, don't think of the port of mail!
She looked at Ji Qingchen. Answering her look, the woman hurriedly came up with a word. made a round for Lou Yun and said:
"Lord Lou has not been in the yamen for a long time, and we can't find the backbone of our work, and my lord is loyal and diligent in the capital. It's good to rest for a few days, too. These days, are you here to see the old days in Siming Academy? ”
“…… And so it is. ”
Lou Yun was anxious to explain, but his mind was careful and measured, step by step. Three steps closer, there is still some distance from the pavilion.
"Owner, I heard that Gongzi Wenchang has set sail from Quanzhou City and is ready to return to Mingzhou City?"
At this time, Ji Qingchen also knew that he had to answer a few words in order to find out his intention.
"I just heard that Chen Gongzi is coming back. Chen Gangshou did not give me any news. ”
She smiled slightly, but was a little surprised in her heart.
Lou Yun looked at Zhao Deyuan just now, and he actually chased here, but it was just for the Chen family's family affairs.
Chen Wenchang's thoughts, she understands very well.
He traveled abroad for several years, of course, because he was angry with his parents, thinking that they were businessmen and hated the poor and loved the rich.
Even when he traveled abroad, he insisted on sitting in the museum all the way to earn travel expenses as a teacher, but he also wanted his parents to see his ambition as a scholar.
Later, when he heard that his family's business was deteriorating and his mother's health was not good, he rushed home immediately.
He worked as a teacher in Quanzhou Chengnan Academy, and for the sake of his family's business, he did not hesitate to cross the sea thousands of miles to Tangfang to sell his body to seek relatives.
He can also be regarded as repaying his parents' nurturing grace.
Therefore, the second master of the Chen family heard Chen Hong say that the marriage was not going well, and he felt sorry for this little son, and he didn't want him to marry a girl.
I'd rather let him marry a poor wife.
This time, the daughter of the Sun family got married early, and Chen Wenchang had no plans to get engaged, he just saw that his teacher had a grandson, and remembered that his parents refused to marry, so of course he wanted to fight for his teacher.
He wanted to marry his niece.
Although the family affair is simple, as soon as he marries the Sun family, Lou Yun's good impression of Chen Wenchang is gone.
"I heard that the niece of Prince Wenchang is not in good health?"
Ji Qingchen tried hard to remember.
Whether it is for herself or for Tang Fang, of course, she still has to find a way to persuade Chen Wenchang not to come together with the Sun family so obviously.
Lou Yun was silent, followed her words, nodded and said:
"That lady is raised at home with precious medicinal herbs, although there is no serious illness caused by any symptoms, and she didn't say anything about her mother-in-law at the age of eleven."
Although it is a low marriage, what Chen Wenchang is looking for for his niece is also a family business that just matches.
In the right person's house, because of her weakness, I am afraid it is not easy to negotiate marriage.
It's just that she is weak, and if she wants to marry into a family of hard-working scholars like the Sun family, it is absolutely impossible to bring a full dowry.
There are very few scholars and officials in the world who can marry the clan for generations like Ji Fu, and have the eldest son as the supervisor of the city.
And the dowry agreed upon by the two families when he left Tangfang, which was a Tangfang river channel share against a Bazhenzhai share.
Chen Wenchang went home, originally to let the family add a dowry, but Ji Qingchen has now lowered Chen Hong, and it is not necessarily necessary to add a dowry.
But if the shares of Bazhenzhai in the second room have to be divided and let the niece take it away as a dowry, Tangfang will suffer.
Ji Qingchen would never allow such a thing to happen.
"The owner, Chen Gangshou is willing to make up an extra dowry to Tang Fang from the Chen family's big house for the son of Wenchang."
Although Lou Yun didn't want to say this, of course Chen Hong would say it when he invited her to Xiaoyuan tomorrow.
He also wanted to see Ji Qingchen's thoughts.
“……”
Ji Qingchen looked back at Lou Yun. "I remember that Chen Gangshou himself has two concubines and a concubine, right?"
There were at least seven or eight of his concubines.
It's not a good favor.
It is impossible for her to take more dowry gifts from Chen Hong's big house and tie herself up.
"Please also borrow a step to speak."
Lou Yun was happy in his heart, since they had already come, he didn't make it clear to her, he didn't plan to leave.
What's more, Chen Wenchang is in this matter. Since ten years ago, he has been too partial to his teacher.
“……”
The hour was past noon. The water waves on the surface of Tushi Lake refracted the golden light, and the warm wind in the spring blew on Ji Qingchen's spring shirt.
She looked at him with a frown.
If it was just to talk about the dowry of Chen Wenchang's family, there was no need for him to talk to her privately.
She was still thinking about what he meant. The person next to him, who thought that Lou Yun was affectionate to her, turned his heart and said with a smile:
"Big lady, keep Miss Ji, Sister Wu and I will wait outside the pavilion, okay?"
Ji Ruiniang's eyes widened. Take Ji Qingchen's sleeve and look at her. He turned his head to look at Lou Yun again, but he didn't make a sound.
Wu Shi is shrewd in handling things, but he is a mess in terms of human feelings.
This woman is a widow who helped her husband open a small coal kiln in the country of Jin. Specializing in dealing with the Yamen of the Golden * Machinery Division.
She has a daughter, and she looks down on people like Lao Siniang who marry for the second time, but because her daughter has fallen in love with Ji Mo. She dared to force the owner's henchman to be her family's son-in-law.
As a result, Ji Qingchen was angered, and his daughter was driven to Quanzhou together.
Her eyes lit up when she looked at Lou Yun. I just feel that he is a shipping port with a daily income of 10,000 gold, not to mention borrowing a step to speak, borrowing 10,000 steps to speak, you have to agree immediately.
Lou Yun looked at Ji Qingchen and waited patiently for her to decide.
It has been almost two years since he met her at the Fan Merchants Conference, and it has only been until today that he can really talk to her.
In the past, it was the wrong person - the betrothed man would be doomed as soon as he opened his mouth.
Later, he remembered the friendship of the Chen family, as well as Chen Wenchang's hard work and sincerity in crossing the sea to intercede under his arrangement.
Now that he wants to marry the Sun family, he will naturally not embarrass Chen Wenchang, but he will not let the marriage go again.
"I asked Junmo to watch from the Merlin intersection, and he would tell him immediately if someone came. I have something to say to the owner in private......"
“……”
Ji Qingchen already knew clearly that he was not here to do business.
She finally understood the way Lou Yun looked at her.
He looked at her with the same look he had when he suddenly stretched out his hand to her by the spring of the moonlit woods, almost making her think he was going to take her away.
But she couldn't make up her mind for a while, did she tell him that Chen Wenchang couldn't talk to him privately if she wasn't there?
Or make it clear to him directly:
If he regrets renouncing with Zhao Deyuan, she has a way to help him get it back.
And she will also find a way to persuade Chen Wenchang not to marry this family business, at least, Jinshan Yinshan will just not take the shares of Bazhenzhai as a dowry for her niece.
"My lord, I think I will be able to persuade Chen Gangshou to come forward to persuade the second master not to marry the Sun family?"
“…… This matter was decided by Chen Wenchang. His temperament should be understood. Chen Gangshou can't make sense with him. I'm afraid it will get worse and worse the more I talk about it. ”
“……”
Ji Qingchen has not forgotten what Chen Wenchang has been defending her for most of the year and doing against his uncle.
On the contrary, if she stopped the Sun family's relatives, maybe Chen Wenchang would have to fight against her.
"My lord, it's not easy to convince Gongzi Wenchang not to marry this family."
Of course, she has to discuss this matter with Chen Wenchang, not only the dowry cannot be reduced, but also a clear family like the Sun family, she really doesn't feel that now is the time to get married.
It's good to delay it for a year or two.
“…… I didn't come to the owner for this. ”
