Chapter 179: Another Twist and Turn
"The daughter of Caifu? Propose? Not! "Just after the emperor's 27th mourning period, Li Sanjian couldn't wait and told Fu Erniang that he wanted to propose to someone, Fu Erniang was very happy, but after hearing that it was the daughter of Caifu, he immediately lowered his face and objected.
"Mother, my mother." Li Sanjian said with a smile: "Don't you often say that let children find relatives? Why are you against it now? β
"You're knowingly asking." Fu Erniang glared at Li Sanjian and said, "If the seedlings are broken, they can't be planted again." Although this family affair was decided by your father, the Cai family has already repented, since they are unwilling, why should they send it to the door to be bullied by him? It's not that you don't know these things, back then, back then, you were persuaded to be a mother, what was it... What kind of husband has no wife? How? Now why are you willing again? β
"Yes, mother, the child said it, but... Li Sanjian nodded when he heard this: "But there is another sentence in my Li family, that is, an axe can't be cut to the end, these days, the child has found that Miss Cai is a good girl, gentle and virtuous, and she is really a good match for the child, and the child has been in love with her, and the mother was only rejected by a concubine of Cai Mansion in front of Cai's mansion, and I don't know what the attitude of Rong Xue's parents is." β
"Yo yo yo, you even know her name?" Fu Erniang grabbed Li Sanjian's ear with one hand and said, "Tell me honestly, what's going on?" β
"Ouch, mother, you lighten it, the child says yes." Li Sanjian competed with Fu Erniang for his ears, and said: "This matter starts with the child's trip to Guizhou. β
So Li Sanjian told Fu Erniang about his trip to Guizhou and Cai Rongxue.
"Mother, Rong Xue is so kind, the child can't live up to her, right? If he fails her, won't the child become a heartless and unrighteous person? Li Sanjian said with both hands in the end.
"I see." Fu Erniang let go of Li Sanjian's ears and said: "It turns out that this child is also a poor person, in this way, it is true that this child cannot be wronged, but... But... Jian'er, will their Cai family agree to this marriage? β
"Mother, it's really hard to say about this matter, and the child has no bottom in his heart." Li Sanjian replied gloomily when he heard this.
There is a distinction between himself and Li Qingzhao, and the same is true with Cai Rongxue, or even more so than Li Qingzhao, so Cai Fuzhen may not be able to agree to this marriage.
Of course, Cai Rongxue is willing, but the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, Cai Rongxue can't be the master of marriage, even if Cai Rongxue is a fake, it is the same, after all, Cai Rongxue is also a famous family, and she is from a prestigious family.
"However, mother," Li Sanjian continued: "The child has been studying hard for more than seven years, so the child understands a truth, that is, sincerity, gold and stone are open, as long as the child is sincere, there will be a day when the clouds and mist will be cleared." β
"Okay" Fu Erniang said happily when she heard this: "Since my Jian'er is so sincere, I am not afraid of losing face again for my mother, so I will ask a matchmaker to come to propose marriage." β
Last time, Fu Erniang didn't understand the rules of Han marriage, was she rejected by Cai Fu for this reason? Fu Erniang thought secretly in her heart, at this time, she completely followed the rules of the Han people, and the first thing was to invite a matchmaker.
"San Lang" Fu Erniang suddenly remembered something, so she said to Li Sanjian: "Danzhou Wen'er, how should you treat her?" β
"Wen'er? Wang Wen... Li Sanjian was speechless and speechless when he heard this.
At the beginning, Li Sanjian agreed to marry the queen Wen of Wang Ruikun, the lord of Danzhou, and the eldest husband couldn't do things without faith, but Li Sanjian had just made love with Cai Rongxue and was about to go to Cai's mansion to propose marriage, so he would take a concubine at this time? Isn't it too despicable, although the world is like this, but Li Sanjian himself can't accept it at all, plus Cai Rongxue, what does she think? It must be extremely sad, Li Sanjian has a headache when he thinks of it, but he selectively forgets it on weekdays.
There is also the "maid" that Zhao Ji gave to him, the two daughters of Chu Die and Liuxia, who have been given to Fu Erniang as a "maid" by Li Sanjian at this time... The two daughters have already made the mother and son scramble enough, and at this time, with the addition of Wang Wen, Fu Erniang's mother and son have a headache.
The two daughters of Chu Die and Liuxia, who were serving on the side, had already shuttled back and forth on Li Sanjian at this time...

"What? Qi Xian wants to marry a concubine? β
"Not only is he a commoner, but he is also a half-Han and half-Yi person."
"How's that going? I can't wait for him. β
"Shouldn't my father have the final say?"
"Daddy can't answer, how can my Cai family recruit a concubine as a son-in-law?"
"What the third brother said is that this is too despicable, too insulting to my Cai family's style, I don't have the face to go out to meet people."
"It's a trivial matter to be ashamed, what kind of dowry did he get from his family? If you really respond to him, won't my Cai family lose to death? β
Li Sanjian finally persuaded Fu Erniang to agree to go to Cai's mansion to propose, Fu Erniang finally mustered up the courage to ask the matchmaker to bring gifts to the door, and almost exhausted all the belongings of Fu Erniang's family, but Cai Jing and his wife have not yet said whether they are committal, but the uncle, uncle, concubine, sister-in-law and others in Cai's mansion have made a fuss, full of righteous indignation and anger, and they have opposed this matter, as if they had stepped on their cat's tail, and as if Li Sanjian had done something to them, they worked together and resolutely opposed this marriage.
Fu Erniang asked someone to come to the door to propose marriage, and in Cai's mansion, it was like a fried pot, and it became a pot of porridge.
The Song people's choice of son-in-law is nothing more than the first look at the identity, the first look at whether it is meritorious and famous, whether it is a court official, and the second is to look at the family assets and heavy assets, you must know that the marriage of the Song people is not only the man's family to give a valuable dowry, but also the daughter to give a very heavy dowry, and even the dowry is much more expensive than the dowry, and the status of the woman in the in-law's family is discussed by the dowry.
Finally, there are standards such as family, nobility, township, clan prestige, etc.
Li Sanjian can't reach any of them. Read it
A white ding, or half Han and half Yi, Fu Erniang's gift of Nacai carried by the matchmaker is also very common.
Song Nacai's rich and noble family sent geese and some valuable gold and silver jewelry, Shu brocade, silk silk and other things, and some were replaced by sheep, but Fu Erniang and Li Sanjian sent a turtledove and a few Shu brocade, Shu brocade is still Li Sanjian's Cai Yuan Lantern Festival Oiran three years ago. In this way, if this marriage is completed, the Cai Mansion will indeed have to pay a large amount of money.
Of course, Fu Erniang and Li Sanjian can also turn to Zhao Ji for help, but at this time, Zhao Ji has just ascended the throne, where can they take care of such a trivial matter as Li Sanjian?
At this time, Li Sanjian couldn't enter the palace at all, and Zhao Ji couldn't see him.
Fu Erniang's mother and son are also unwilling to trouble the former King Duan for this matter, and the current emperor is no longer willing to keep his voice down for his own family affairs.
The matchmaker entrusted by Fu Erniang is surnamed Hu, and she is a well-known matchmaker in Beijing, and it is said that there is no marriage through her mouth.
Fu Erniang asked the people in the palace, and begged in every way to get the matchmaker to go to Cai's mansion to propose.
Hu matchmaker is also unwilling and reluctant to propose marriage in Caifu, you must know that if the marriage is completed, the matchmaker can also get a large amount of property, but can Fu Erniang's family take it out?

"Master, you will fulfill this poor child." At this time, in Cai's mansion, Mrs. Cai begged Cai Jingdao.
Mrs. Cai is Cai Jing's original partner, around fifty years old, childless, Cai Jing's four sons were all born to concubines.
Mrs. Cai eats fasting and recites Buddha on weekdays, is ignorant of the world, and has no quarrel with the world, so as to maintain her position in Cai's mansion.
After Cai Rongxue was accepted as a righteous daughter by Cai Jing, Mrs. Cai saw that Cai Rongxue had a pitiful background, and she had no children, so she regarded Cai Rongxue as her own, so Cai Rongxue's life in Cai's mansion was slightly better.
At this time, Cai Rongxue's family affairs were unanimously opposed by the whole house, so the anxious Cai Rongxue begged Mrs. Cai, and Mrs. Cai came to beg Cai Jing to accept the marriage.
"Madame, don't worry, how about talking about this matter in a few days?" Cai Jing replied after thinking about it.
Cai Jing was also reluctant to accept this family business.
Cai Rongxue is the daughter of Cai Jing's brother, it is true that she is Cai Jing's righteous daughter, but the righteous daughter is also a woman, and Cai Jing will also pay a large amount of dowry when she gets married, but for Cai Fu, it is not that she can't get this dowry, the most important thing is to be worth it.
Cai Rongxue's beauty and talent are unknown to others, but Cai Jing knows it, which can be described as one in a million, not to mention that at this time, Cai Rongxue has already responded to Li Sanjian's request, removed the veil, and showed her true face, which has caused a lot of commotion in Caifu, and some people in Caifu are already ready to move.
The same surname is not a marriage, but it is still okay to be a concubine with no status, and at the same time, Cai Jing's forces are not necessarily surnamed Cai, there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and there are many people or families who have an in-law relationship with Cai's house.
Some people are already planning to come to the door to propose marriage at this time and establish a stronger relationship with Cai Jing.
However, Cai Jing didn't plan to deal with these people.
The new emperor Zhao Ji is lustful, this is a well-known thing, and at the same time, the new emperor ascended the throne, the pattern of the court will undergo drastic changes, this is a very critical time, if Cai Jing votes for Zhao Ji, then it will be of great help to Cai Jing's career. If it wasn't for the emperor's mourning period at this time, Cai Jing would have sent Cai Rongxue to the palace a long time ago. Twenty-seven months have passed for this to happen.
At this time, no matter who it is, no matter what it is, as long as it is helpful to Cai Jing, Cai Jingjing will do whatever it takes.
Li Sanjian is the old man of Zhao Ji's mansion and the celebrity in front of Zhao Ji, and Cai Jing also understands this, which is the main reason for Cai Jing's hesitation.

"Xiaoqin, why are you here?" On this day, Cai Rongxue's personal maid Xiaoqin suddenly came to Li Sanjian's residence, so Li Sanjian asked in surprise.
"Leave me alone, this is a letter from my sister." Xiaoqin and Li Sanjian are also more familiar, so they handed a letter to Li Sanjian with an anxious face.
"The matter is urgent, the concubine plans to fight to the death, I hope you don't worry." There are only these simple words on the top of the epistle.
Fight to the death? Can you still be worried? Li Sanjian clutched the book and said secretly in confidence.
At this point, how could Li Sanjian not understand what was going on? It must be that Cai Fu does not agree to such a marriage.
"Xiaoqin, you bring this letter to Cher." Li Sanjian then also wrote a letter and handed it to Xiaoqin.
Cangtian gave Li Sanjian two chances, but Cangtian also gave Li Sanjian two times of the same encounter.
This time he must fight to the end, Li Sanjian looked up at the sky and said angrily in his heart, no matter who it is, no matter what the situation, he must not retreat this time, and he will fight it to the end.
