Chapter 548: Closing the Door

Before Zhao Wei went out, he first instructed Na Wu Laixing to go to find someone and invite the relatives of the Mi family over. Namido's nonsense, I don't know if his family knows, if they don't know, a pair of confrontations will be exposed, but it saves a lot of effort.

As for the landlord, he didn't mention it, but Wu Laixing has always done things properly, and since he invited this person too, there must be a reason.

Seeing Mi Duzhi's face change suddenly, Zhao Wei felt that he had made the right move.

Mrs. Mi and Aunt Mi's Aunt Zou entered the door, originally with joy on their faces, but when they suddenly saw the situation in the courtyard, their faces changed, and they didn't know what was wrong.

Mi Duzhi's daughter Mi Yulian is in the cardamom years this year, although she is not beautiful, but she is also a little delicate, wearing a few newly bought red gauze flowers, wearing a new cotton dress and silk skirt, and a dark red tuanhua silk face armor on the outside, but it is changed from her mother's old clothes, which is very inconsistent with her girl's complexion. She held her grandmother's arm tightly, although she shrunk her neck and was shy, her eyes moved flexibly, and she only glanced around the courtyard, and then quickly fixed her eyes on the gorgeous clothes worn by Zhao Xiu, and then looked at the jewels and beads on her head, and her eyes never looked away.

Her brother Mi Xiu, who was only fourteen or five years old next year, looked blank and followed behind his grandmother and mother, and when he saw his father in the courtyard, he did not notice the atmosphere around him at all, but smiled and called "father" hehe.

Mi Duzhi was awakened by his voice, and quickly recovered from his state of daze. Seeing the obvious smile on the old lady's face, he subconsciously felt bad. It must have been the Zhao family who tricked her. He proposed that the so-called "marriage contract" was completely non-existent, and he suddenly had this idea when he arrived here. My wife didn't know about it at all. If she leaks her mouth, won't he be exposed?

Mi Duzhi was a spirit, and decided to strike first, so he grabbed Zhao Wei and said to his mother: "Mother, do you remember the family affair that the eldest sister agreed with us before leaving Beijing?" It was said at the time. Xiu Ming's mother is pregnant with a child, and if she is a daughter after birth, she will marry her eldest sister's eldest son, Brother Wei. I also took a jade pendant as a watch. Now that the Zhao family sees that we are down, they don't recognize this family business, I am not convinced, and I must ask them to give an explanation. You have come just in time, tell them quickly. The eldest sister did promise to get married! ”

When Mrs. Mi heard this, the joy on her face disappeared instantly. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Yes...... Is there such a thing? At the same time, his eyes flickered in the direction of Wulaixing. Wu Laixing smiled faintly.

Mi Duzhi didn't notice that the old lady's expression was different, and hurriedly said: "Of course, you were present when the eldest sister agreed to the marriage, so you should make it clear to your in-laws and nephew!" ”

Mrs. Mi's face turned red, but she didn't say those words as her son meant.

Midu was in a hurry, stepped forward to squeeze his wife away, held the old lady's arm, and desperately squeezed her eyebrows and made a hint: "Mother." What's wrong with you? Rest assured, there are several distinguished guests here. They are all famous and promising figures, and they will never sit idly by and watch the Zhao family's treachery. Seeing his daughter beside him, he hurriedly added: "Mother, if our Yulian can marry her nephew according to the marriage contract, she will be Mrs. Jiannanhou!" At this time, it is related to your granddaughter's future, you can't let them bully you because you are worried about the power of the Zhao family! ”

Mi Yulian was stunned for a moment, suddenly shocked, and finally turned her gaze back to her father, her eyes rippling: "Father, what did you say?" Can I marry Cousin Zhao? ”

Mi Duzhi gave his daughter a look: "What stupid thing are you talking about?" You already have a marriage contract with your cousin Zhao, so you can naturally marry him. ”

Mi Yulian suddenly showed a look of surprise. Zhao Xiu is the daughter of the Marquis of Jiannan, and that makeup is a luxury she has never seen in her life. If you can marry Zhao Wei, wouldn't you be able to enjoy the same wealth?

It's a pity that their father and daughter had a good dream, but the honest Aunt Mi spoke at an inopportune time: "But...... Master, didn't you say that the nephew is willing to make the decision for us and find a good family for Xiu Ming and Sister Lian? Why is it that now he is a nephew who wants to marry our daughter? ”

Midozhi's face changed, and he angrily angered her: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" ”

Aunt Mi hurriedly shrunk her neck and didn't dare to make a sound, but her face was still puzzled, so she could only look at her mother-in-law's face at a loss.

Mrs. Mi's heart was shaken, and she hesitated for a while, but she still opened her mouth in a hurry: "So if you say that...... I do seem to have heard our aunt mention ......"

Before she finished speaking, Wu Laixing, who was standing beside her, suddenly smiled, saluted Zhang, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu, and said respectfully: "The little one is ordered by the Hou Ye to go to pick up the in-laws' wife and uncle's wife, the cousin's young master, and the cousin's girl, and also revealed the meaning of the Hou Ye to the in-laws' wife and uncle's wife." The in-laws and uncles were very happy to learn that the old lady intended to say a good family affair for the young master and the girl, and they were already undertaken, because they were worried that things would change for a long time, so they handed over the eight-character Geng post of the young master and the girl to the small one, and the small one took it back to the house and handed it over to the old lady, so that the family matter could be set at any time. I never thought that the in-laws and the uncle would change the hexagram, and the little one didn't do things well, and asked the old lady and the marquis to punish them. ”

The faces of those who heard Wu Laixing's words became a little subtle.

If the daughter of the Mi family did have a marriage contract with Zhao Wei, how could the Mi family happily entrust the marriage of their children to the hands of the Zhang family? When Mrs. Mi entered the door, she did have a smile on her face. Besides, judging by the reaction of Mido's wife and daughter, it is obvious that they don't know anything about the marriage contract. Most of what Midozhi said was lying.

Mi Duzhi never expected such a change to happen, and suddenly became anxious, and asked the old lady: "Mother, what's going on?" How could you say yes?! ”

Mrs. Mi originally wanted to build the Nanhou Mansion according to her son's words, but when she saw Wu Laixing telling the truth in public, she knew that the matter was not done. Wu Laixing still has Mi Xiuming and Mi Yulian's Geng posts in her hands, but she hated that she just called this cheap slave to bluff in a few words, and she was afraid that she would miss the opportunity to cling to the rich and noble family and take advantage of her strength to seek revenge for her son, so she took the initiative to take out the Geng post of her grandchildren and granddaughter. Now it has become a clear proof that there is no marriage contract between his family and the Zhao family. With this proof, how could Zhao Wei's ancestors and grandsons be forced to agree to the marriage by their mother and son in a few words?

No matter how tempting the name of Mrs. Jiannanhou was, Zhao Wei refused to accept. It's useless. What if you sue the government? Zhao Wei was able to support the servants of Dali Temple at will to find his family's bad luck, could the government still favor the Mi family? Son Midozhi escaped the crime by luck, and he must not have another accident.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Mi changed her words: "Son, although your eldest sister has this meaning, her in-laws are still alive at that time, and your brother-in-law is filial. Your eldest sister can't do the marriage of your nephew, so she didn't make a decision. Originally, it was agreed to wait for the two children to grow up and then discuss. Now that your nephew has hired your niece, it can be seen that our sister Lian has nothing to do with him, so don't force it anymore. ”

Although this is a nice statement, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It's just a justification for Mido. Midu's daughter really never made a family relationship with Zhao Wei. A qiē is all his wishful thinking. And the so-called waiting for the two children to grow up before discussing marriage is naturally not allowed. The sister of Jiannanhou said it well, Midu's daughter had not been born at that time, and she didn't even know if it was a man or a woman, so which marriage was discussed?

Seeing this, Mi Xingzhi's expression was relaxed, and he immediately showed a sneer: "I see." The old lady and nephew are kind-hearted, but unfortunately there are always some people in this world who are not greedy enough. For the sake of self-interest, he does not hesitate to reverse black and white. Stab in the back! ”

Thinking that his only beloved daughter was almost stigmatized as a sister taking her husband, and his reputation was almost damaged, he was angry. When this matter is over, if he lets Mi Duzhi go, how can he be worthy of his parents and relatives? How to live up to the good name of the family?!

After making up his mind, Mi Shengzhi sank his face and shouted at Mido's anger: "Bastard! Your mother has made it clear, why don't you quickly confess your guilt and apologize?! Do you really want your in-laws to send you to the government and sue you for blackmail?! ”

Midozhi stared at the old lady resentfully, but he was unwilling to accept his fate: "Mother! Such a good marriage, how can you say that you don't want it?! ”

Mrs. Mi glared at her son, lowered her voice and said, "Don't say it again, you really offended the Hou Mansion, don't you want to die?" ”

Mi Duzhi sneered: "I'm the uncle of Jiannan Hou, can he still kill me?!" ”

When Zhao Wei heard this, his face suddenly sank.

Wu Laixing quickly glanced at the landlord, the landlord was a fifty or sixty-year-old man, and he was also from a well-off family, and he had been standing on the side to make wallflowers, and when he received Wu Laixing's hint, he stepped forward and said to Na Mi Duzhi: "This rice master, the old man heard Xiao'er say that before you went out today, you borrowed a jade pendant from the old man, saying that it was borrowed for a day." It's just that the old man happened to meet a friend, and said that his father was going to have a birthday in the near future, and he planned to borrow the old man's jade pendant to make a look, and also carved a pair of jade pendants for his father as a birthday gift. Time is of the essence, and there is no room for delay. Therefore, the old man wanted to ask Master Mi to get back the jade pendant, I don't know if it is possible? ”

Midozhi's face changed again, he glared at the landlord, and stammered, "What...... What jade pendant? Don't talk nonsense! But he quietly hid his right hand behind him. Wu Laixing's eyes were sharp, and he quickly took two steps forward and snatched away the jade pendant, which made Mi Duzhi jump up: "Give it back to me!" ”

Wu Laixing didn't pay attention to it, and only handed over the jade pendant to Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei spread it in the palm of his hand, so that everyone in the courtyard could see it, it was a green jade pendant, the jade quality was mediocre, and the top was engraved with the pine crane to prolong the year, which was a good gift for birthday.

But would normal people use this kind of thing as a sign of the marriage contract? What kind of family is Jiannanhou Mansion? How can such a shoddy thing be used? Didn't you see that Wu Laixing had a jasper pendant tied around his waist, and his color was ten times stronger than this jade pendant?

The landlord smiled and removed another jade pendant from his waist and showed it to Zhao Wei and everyone in the courtyard: "That is the jade pendant that Master Mi borrowed from the old man's house, and the 'Bat Shou Xiangyun' pendant worn by the old man is exactly the same pair." ”

Everyone can also see that the two jade pendants are similar in color, and they really seem to have been cut from a whole piece of jade, and the pattern is just right for a pair.

Things have come to this point, and it is already clear. Everyone present knew that the so-called marriage contract was completely empty, and it was really annoying that the marriage between Jiannanhou and the daughter of Mi Province was so disturbed by the relatives.

The doubts in the hearts of those guests were relieved, knowing that it was time for people to deal with household affairs, but it was inconvenient for them outsiders to stay, so they hurriedly offered to leave. Mi Province politely sent the people away, but this time he did not keep them.

Li Guangdi fell to the end, with a look of kindness and love, and said to Zhao Wei: "I know that you have resentment in your heart, but if this matter is big, it will also hinder the reputation of your two families, so try to value peace." The eyes glanced at Midu, and secretly said in his heart that this person must not gain power, I remember that there was a lawsuit on him, and he only got out of it because of the momentum of the Jiannan Hou Mansion. Zhao Wei, a student, has an upright character and is gentle, but he is restrained by his superiors. As a teacher, he solved this difficulty for his students!

Li Guangdi walked away, and only Zhao Mi's two families were left in the courtyard.

Zhao Wei said lightly to his future father-in-law: "Although the wicked man is Zhao Wei's uncle, he is also a child of the Mi family. What to do, please ask your father-in-law to show me. ”

Mi Xingzhi smiled and nodded, turned to Mi Duzhi, but his face suddenly sank, and he commanded coldly: "Left and right, close the door for me!" ”

Mi Duzhi couldn't help but tremble, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back. (To be continued......)
