Chapter 50: There is a play
What made Ye Kai even more excited was that his cousin Ye Ming was already twenty-six years old, and he happened to be a single dog, because the third uncle, Ye Fushun, had always wanted to marry Ye Ming a daughter-in-law from the mainland with pure blood.
But he chose several pure-blooded Chinese women, who looked a little sorry, and Ye Ming was killed after seeing it.
But how many of the white-skinned and beautiful Chinese women will go to the South Seas? People don't have to worry about marrying in their hometown, why do they have to marry thousands of miles to Nanyang?
Unless, like Ye Kai's grandfather, he paid a huge dowry for his son to marry.
But Ye Kai's grandfather has a small treasury left by his ancestors at his disposal, what will Ye Fushun do to ask Ye Ming for a good marriage?
Therefore, Ye Ming's marriage can only be delayed again and again, and now it has been delayed until he is twenty-six years old, and he is about to enter middle age, and his wife has not yet appeared!
And this He Yuer, although he is not a Chinese from Fujian and Guangdong, he can neither speak vernacular nor Hakka, but at least he is a new guest from the mainland, and he is not bad-looking, although his background is not good, but he is the king of grass with a gun in Nanyang, and he is more than enough with Ye Ming!
Through this marriage, Ye Kai can also take the opportunity to pull the third uncle Ye Fushun to his side, although Ye Fushun can only be regarded as a marginal figure among the Ye family, but he still has a certain right to speak, and it is also very helpful for Ye Kai to take over the Ye family in the future.
Thinking of this, Ye Kai coughed loudly twice, picked up the wine bowl and looked at He Xiwen and said, "Brother He, the younger brother wants to ask you about a private matter!" ”
He Xiwen grinned with a smile on his face and pretended to be bold: "Why do Brother Shuwu want to be so literate, they are all their own brothers, if you have something to say!" ”
He now feels that he has suppressed this rich young master, and it is not impossible to vote for Ruan Fuying, just like Ye Kai said, Ruan Fuying really can't succeed, he can still choose to go away!
But now that Ye Kai is asking for himself, how can he not take care of it?
If you don't create some difficulties, how can you show your wealth? How can you let the Ye family and Ruan Fuying have more blood?
As a small leader of the White Lotus Sect who used to preach everywhere, He Xiwen played these small actions very handy!
"That's good! Since Brother He said so, the younger brother dared to ask, I don't know if Sister Yu has ever been married! Ye Kai's face didn't change for a moment, as if he was as calm as he just said 'hello'!
Yes??
it?
Everyone was shocked, how could there be a young man who asked such a thing in public?
"Ye Shuwu! What nonsense are you talking about? Beware of the old ..... I tore your mouth! He Yuerteng's face turned red!
No matter how arrogant she is, she still can't hold her face when she is asked like this in public, and she is too shy to even say the mantra of 'Lao Tzu'!
He Xiwen on the main seat also hissed and gasped, "Horror.... Uh, no! Shu Wu! He Xiwen cautiously asked, "Shu Wu, haven't you already married the fourth princess of the Ruan family!" Why did you ask me about this girl? You don't want to marry my sister-in-law, do you? If that's the case, then brother and I'm going to turn my face! ”
He Xiwen looked at Ye Kai carefully, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a strong figure, and he was still the eldest young master of the Ye family in the Great Year, if he hadn't married the princess of the Ruan family, his older sister would have been very high if he married him, but he couldn't be a concubine!
"Shhh Ye Kai was also taken aback, he didn't expect this He Xiwen to think of himself, so he hurriedly waved his hand.
"Brother He, don't get me wrong, if Shu Wu didn't marry, it would really be my blessing to be able to marry a woman like Sister Yu'er, but I'm already engaged, I don't dare to have any idea of taking a concubine, Sister Yu'er is a heroine among women, how dare Shu Wu insult it!"
The word concubine, from the oracle bone inscription, is a knife for execution, and a kneeling woman is below, and in terms of the shape of the word, it looks like a pregnant woman.
Taken together, it is a guilty female slave who is pregnant with her master's child, a fertility tool equivalent to a cow and a horse, and is not even a normal person.
For a woman with a little status, especially before the Qing Dynasty, selling herself as a concubine was definitely an extremely humiliating and helpless thing for a woman.
If you meet a fierce housewife, her status is not as good as that of a slave in the family, and no one cares if she is killed, so He Xiwen said that he wants to turn his face, which is definitely not a joke!
"You guys! You guys! He Yu'er's eyes were red, she was most taboo about others mentioning her age on weekdays, because she also knew that she was an older leftover girl, and now she actually said that the concubines and concubines had said it, she pulled out the double knives on her waist with a sigh, and screamed that she was about to cut Ye Kai!
What can Ye Kai do? It's impossible to fight back, and the pirates around him are looking at him with unkind eyes, especially the younger generation.
There was no way, Ye Kai quickly and flexibly climbed from the top of the table to the other side, and He Yu'er, whose tears were about to fall, suddenly pounced!
"Hahahaha!" There was a burst of laughter in the righteous hall, Ye Kai climbed the table, and immediately dispelled the dissatisfaction of the pirates, many people leaned forward and backwards with laughter, and He Xiwen also hurriedly ran over and grabbed He Yu'er's arm!
"I said... Ye Kai pretended to be out of breath, "Brother He, Sister Yu'er, listen to me finish speaking!" ”
"Big sister! Don't mess around, listen to Shu Wu finish speaking! He Xiwen glanced at He Yu'er reproachfully.
"Good! Ye Shuwu, Lao Tzu depends on what you can say, if you still dare to make fun of me, Lao Tzu will kill you desperately! ”
He Yu'er took a deep breath and looked at Ye Kai viciously, while He Xiwen touched his face with a little headache, a girl and a Laozi, what can I do?
"I want to say that I have an elder brother, named Ye Ming Ye Xingwu, the eldest son of Ye Fushun, the big treasurer of my Sanbo Longsheng, who has read poetry and books since he was a child, can write and calculate, is sixty years old, and is more than five feet long, because he doesn't want to find a Nyonya, so he has never married.
My third uncle is an elder in the Ye clan, and the eldest brother Ye Ming is a talented person of the younger generation of the Ye family, and he and Sister Yu can be regarded as talented and beautiful! Ye Kai took advantage of He Yu'er's lack of impulsiveness, and hurriedly finished speaking in one breath.
Belch.... This one! He Xiwen's eyes lit up, why He Yu'er didn't get married at twenty-three or four, the reason was really similar to what Ye Kai guessed.
He Xiwen's family has four brothers, but the younger sister is just that, He Xiwen is fifteen years older than He Yuer, and he has loved this sister very much since he was a child!
When He Yuer was three years old, her parents died of illness one after another, and she grew up on He Xiwen's back, saying that she was a sister, but in fact she was a daughter!
Over the years, He Xiwen has been worried about He Yuer's lifelong events, he is really unwilling to marry He Yuer to someone like him.
This kind of knife licking blood fighting man, maybe it will be gone at some point, he doesn't want his sister to be widowed at a young age!
And because he has been traveling from place to place over the years, He Yuer's family affairs have gradually been delayed and she has become an old girl, which has always been a pain in He Xiwen's heart.
Now listening to Ye Kai say this, He Xiwen feels that this is really a good marriage!
He knows about the Longsheng, and he has heard of Ye Fushun for a long time, because he has not done business with the Longsheng once or twice.
If my sister can marry Ye Fushun's son, she is still a rare scholar, and she can be regarded as a well-known person, not to mention anything else, she will give her sister more dowry, and she will be a safe and stable rich woman in the future!
"Brother Shuwu!" He Xiwen clapped his hands happily, "What you said is true?" If you can get rid of my brother's heart disease, then I He Xiwen will recognize your Ye family in the future! ”
"You.... You guys... Elder brother! He Yu'er stomped her foot heavily, and ran out with a red face, her brother's performance was too much, as if he really couldn't get married!
