125 Reluctant to abandon chess
Ji Qingchen looked at Zhao Deyuan and her younger brother Zhao Deming talking about the engagement, and she naturally knew that Lou Yun was the fourth-grade supervisor of Quanzhou City, and the county lord of Shunchang was a titled sect daughter.
How could their marriage be such a farce?
The rule of the Great Song Dynasty officials and eunuchs is to hire three media and six appointments, even if Lou Yun recognized the wrong person at the Fan Merchants Conference, it may not be that he was engaged to the wrong person.
He was such a thoughtful person, allowing Xie Guoyun and Ah Chi to say countless words in front of her, but he himself didn't say a word in the drum tower.
He wants to be engaged, how can he not look at the other party's background, character, and parents and brothers?
If Lou Yun has parents, when his mother is engaged to him, she may first look at Mrs. Zhao's character and personality, and ask her female relatives to meet the county lord of Shunchang himself before making a decision.
But he Lou Yun is fatherless and motherless, and she Ji Qingchen is the same now.
So she knew very well that even if he hadn't seen the county lord of Shunchang, even if the person he had seen at the Fan Merchants Conference was her Ji Qingchen, the person he ordered must be the third daughter of the founding man Zhao Binglin's family.
It has also been written in ancient books that it is better for those who marry to marry two surnames.
In terms of family upbringing, what Lou Yun really values is Zhao Binglin, the head of the Zhao family.
"The official family is the king, but he is also the brother of the Zhao family." Zhao Deyuan straightened up, Zhao Deming heard her start to talk about the official family, and he also grimaced, posing as a scholar and listening,
"I know it's a transgression. But I was not afraid to say this, even in front of my father. I am a woman who doesn't know the major affairs of the court, I only know that this time the bronze mirror case was the fault of King Xinjun and their brothers. There is nothing wrong with the officials. Reasoning, the brothers of the Zhao family had a dispute, and when there was a quarrel in their own family, they had to talk about right and wrong first. And then we will talk about a good one - didn't my father teach us that in the past? β
Ji Qingchen listened, and couldn't help but be surprised that Zhao Deyuan understood the crimes committed by the clans in the bronze mirror case so much.
But there doesn't seem to be anything that doesn't make sense.
In fact, she also heard that the official family's favor on the Queen Mother's 70th birthday was originally a kind of return to the clan.
For the sake of the official family's ascension to the throne.
The official family forced the palace at the beginning, and with the support of the queen mother, he asked his sick father to abdicate, so he lived in the vertical arch hall in the palace city.
Sons of the clans. When the official family ascended the throne, he successively wrote to express his support. Of course, the official family will be rewarded.
The title of the county lord of Shunchang was also exchanged for her father Zhao Binglin's very eye-catching book.
As for the friendship between Lou Yun and Zhao Binglin, she didn't know.
"Only deal with it impartially first. Decide who is right and who is wrong, and the brothers will be convinced. The concubines will not complain, that is, the children can understand the truth of doing things when they see their elders behaving like this. It's more useful than having them memorize the lessons of a hundred books. This is my woman's insight.
Although Zhao Deming is young. I had already heard my sister cry and say it once on my own boat, and I still nodded yes at this time.
"The third sister is a lesson."
Ji Qingchen finally opened his mouth. Nodding his head:
"County Lord, please continue."
ββ¦β¦ Thank you, Master Ji. β
Zhao Deyuan knew that he had finally used the right method to impress this Ji Fang Owner - I heard that this Fang Owner also had two younger brothers.
Although this Ji Fang owner still has no intention of standing up for her.
She held Brother Zhao's hand, turned her head to look at Ji Qingchen, and said:
"The official family is right in this matter. The merchants were foreigners. When guests come to my house, they can only be hospitable. As a result, their brothers went to rob the guest's goods and killed the guest's servants. also robbed the guest's beautiful concubine. How can the officials not deal with it? Lord Lou acted according to the will of the officials. Zhao Bingcheng, the brother of the Xinjun Wang's line, is the mastermind, and four of the seven people involved in the case are also the uncles of the fourth and twelfth rooms of their line. But my father listened to the words of the king of Xinjun. Going to quit your family? β
Ji Qingchen said that she had heard about the affairs between the clans and inquired a lot.
But it is absolutely impossible to completely distinguish which series and which room with Zhao Deyuan like this.
"Whether the official family will blame my father, I am no longer worthy of speculation."
Zhao Deyuan said with tears in his eyes,
"I'm also selfish. If you don't quit your family, I'm worried that Lord Lou will think that our family is married. Quitting relatives, I'm only worried that the bride price can't be returned to Lord Lou, and it will be useless for outsiders to laugh at our family for selling women to get married. I'm also worried that my father has angered Master Lou and made it impossible for my two brothers to turn over in the future. My brother is still youngβ"
She finally lowered her head, so that no one could see the despair and panic in her eyes, and spat out a sentence with a smile in her tears,
"It's that Master Lou found another good person for me, but they just hindered his face. Where can such a reluctantly matched marriage be harmonious. Even if I am a hundred times more virtuous, I will not have a good life......"
"Third Sister ......"
Zhao Deming could only flatten his mouth at this time, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't speak anymore.
"I also invite the owner of Ji Fang to go upstairs, although Zhao Deyuan has the surname Zhao, he has a loss of virtue and appearance, and he is not worthy of marrying an adult. But I'm not unsure of the merits. I just ask Lord Lou to take care of my father, which is really a deep affection, so it is out of proportion. This marriage should be decided by Lord Lou for himself, I have no choice......
ββ¦β¦β
It was raining outside, and the silk fell and flew on the river in front of the peach blossom crossing in the south of the city. The two riverboats had already stopped, and they were parked in the falling flowers of April.
Ji Qingchen got up, asked the boat lady to take the oil umbrella, and personally sent the two sisters and brothers out of the cabin, she stood at the bow of the boat and watched them return to the ship.
Her mood was not smooth either.
This Zhao Deyuan understands when he sees things. On her own, she is not unworthy of Lou Yun.
"Big lady-"
Sure enough, as soon as she turned her head, she saw the faint joy on Lao Siniang's face, "Big lady, why don't you marry this county lord?" β
She had a vague headache.
Lao Siniang's words she understood that since Zhao Deyuan was a woman who talked about human feelings, her conduct, appearance, and family background were enough to match Lou Yun. Then now she should take advantage of the time when she is in trouble, send some food over to show her friendship.
Then personally invited her to live in Ji Yuan.
With the current embarrassing situation of her two sisters and brothers, even if Zhao Deyuan hesitates, she will finally agree.
Living in Ji Yuan, of course, she wanted to be delicious, easy to use, and easy to wear, and then personally sent her to the capital to see Lou Yun.
With her as the promoter, this marriage is of course easy to succeed in the current situation.
In this way, not only Lou Daren, but she stammered. What's more important is "Mrs. Lou", she also stammered.
As far as business investment is concerned, the "Mrs. Lou" of Shunchang County Lord was born as a clan daughter, and the risk of going to court in the future is extremely small.
And this lady's connections in the clan after marriage can get stronger and thicker through her husband, and in the end, aren't these connections her Ji Qingchen's connections?
She looked at Lao Siniang's eyes and knew that she couldn't wait for her to jump on the opposite boat immediately, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a deep deal with Zhao Deyuan.
"I think this county lord is a powerful person."
She just said this lightly,
"When she mentioned the bronze mirror case, she just saw that I was a businessman. Naturally, he didn't want to watch the clan kill and loot the merchants, but no one upheld justice. In this matter, I want to be on Lou Yun's side. β
Even if she and Lou Yunsu don't know each other, if she bumps into this Shunchang county lord, she may have the heart to ventilate and report the news.
Lao Siniang nodded hurriedly and said with a smile:
"Yes. Big lady. In addition, Tang Fang was embarrassed by Lord Lou in the capital, she should have heard about it. β
If Zhao Deyuan is not shrewd and can't make up her mind, where can she be expected to speak in front of Lou Yun in the future?
It was a wasted effort to befriend this woman.
"She thinks that the people don't fight with the officials, and the more Lou Yun excludes me, the more I have to curry favor. Even if my official character of Wen Linlang is the face of Han Sen's politics, I should go to Lou Yun to get married. β
Ji Qingchen pondered, "Lou Yun also needs her now. β
Cho Deyuan may not be very aware of the political dispute between the DPRK and China.
But the common sense of the county lord's upbringing in the Quanzhou clan is far from being comparable to that of ordinary civilian women, which is enough for her to believe that she Ji Qingchen will not let go of this opportunity.
If she Ji Qingchen and Lou Yun didn't have the section in the moonlight forest, she would also be willing to help the county lord complete this marriage.
Lou Yun doesn't like her, she's an outsider, does she dare to look at Lou Yun unpleasantly?
Lao Siniang didn't know if she had any discord with Lou Yun in Tangfang, and was about to persuade each other, but she heard Ji Qingchen say:
"At the Fan Merchants Conference the year before last, I also met the county lord."
Lao Siniang's face changed slightly, and the enthusiasm in her eyes disappeared by half, and she hesitated:
"The meaning of the big lady ......"
Ji Qingchen knew that this woman was capable.
Now Zhao Deyuan begged her to come to the ship, and the result was all arranged in front of her step by step by Lao Siniang.
As long as she Ji Qingchen stretched out her hand, she could pick the ready-made big fruit of "Mrs. Lou's good sister".
Why didn't Zhao Deyuan know that she had a place for her Ji Qingchen to use, so she would be cheeky enough to beg in front of this stranger?
But in the same way, as long as she mentions the Fan Merchants Conference the year before last, Lao Siniang should be able to understand:
She had been trying her best to get close to Lou Yun just now, and there was a reason for it.
"It's okay to do business, it's not good for me to visit Lord Lou for his marriage."
ββ¦β¦ The eldest lady met Master Lou at the Fan Business Conference last year? β
Lao Siniang thought about it, Zhao Deyuan's sister and brother also said what happened at the Fan Shang Conference, even if she couldn't understand it, she had already felt that there was a problem.
ββ¦β¦ I stood beside the county lord of Shunchang. Everyone wore hats, and I wouldn't have recognized her if she hadn't reported herself. β
She sighed, no longer beating around the bush,
"Xie Guoyun told me that Master Lou made the wrong person."
"Got the wrong person? The eldest lady meansβ"
Lao Siniang half-opened her mouth and looked at Ji Qingchen blankly.
From her eyes, Lao Siniang found that she understood correctly, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while.
Ji Qingchen looked at the woman's expression, and saw that she was extremely happy for a while, and extremely depressed for a while, knowing that she was reluctant to let the chess piece of "Shunchang County Lord" in front of her become a waste chess. (To be continued) R640
