Yuan Jie, who was completely unaware of the change in identity, was still following the temptation and said, "...... Shichiro, this is the end of the matter, I will be blunt. The Yuan clan will never participate in the infighting between the gate valves, this is an ancestral motto, and no one dares to disobey it. If you don't agree to withdraw from the marriage, causing unease inside and outside the Shen family, and thus making up your mind to deal with you, I won't provide a little help. The worst result is nothing more than your death in a foreign land, and Ah Yuan becomes a widow. “

Although everyone knows that the Yuan family abides by neutrality and generally does not participate in infighting, once Xu You really marries Yuan Qingqi, for the Shen family, do you really believe that Xu You will not get a little help from the Yuan family? In this way, you will be suspicious, and if you are suspicious, you will be uneasy, and the result of uneasiness will inevitably repeat the scene of the assassination of the four arrows.

Xu You was silent, but his expression was not as firm as just now!

"But the widow can still remarry, with my Yuan's lintel, I'm not afraid that I won't find a suitable son-in-law. It's just you, for this obsession, you died in a foreign land, so that the Xu family broke off the bloodline, and the unfilial piety is the greatest, how can you be worthy of the respect of heaven and earth? ”

This era is not the time when Ming Qing is rampant, there are many widows who remarry, and even many who remarry after divorce, Xu You is really afraid that Yuan Jie will be sideways, really marry his daughter, and then sit back and wait for her to marry a second time after becoming a widow.

Xu You slandered, I said this earlier, I don't have to pretend to be arrogant and play that kind of angry drama. His expression turned to sadness, and he sat back in the armchair for a while before he whispered: "What Yuan Gong said is very true, I was not thoughtful before, I was anxious for a while, and my words were offensive, please forgive me!" ”

The ancients valued filial piety the most, and Xu You was soft on this point, which was not only not ashamed, but also reasonable. If he really listened to Yuan Jie's proposal, he would immediately accept it, but it would seem submissive and too easy to be manipulated by others.

He is at the lowest point in his life, the world is so big, there is almost no place to stand, if he doesn't show a little arrogance, once he is despised by Yuan Jie, the plans behind him will be in vain.

Yuan Jie waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and seeing that Xu You's tone was loose, he said: "You are a smart person, you should know that I am not lying and threatening." Ah Yuan marrying you is your way to death, but if you agree to quit your family, not only will your life be saved, but I can also promise that as long as there are matters unrelated to the Shen family, I will give you appropriate help when necessary. ”

Xu You was determined, he only planned to ask for money, but now he has another promise, and Yuan Jie's promise is much more important than money.

Doing business, it is like this, the truth is mixed, and the person who shows his hole cards too early will always suffer a loss! If you put it aside in the previous life, Xu You, who is nicknamed Fox Shuai, is best at chasing after victory, since the other party takes the initiative to increase the weight, it means that there is still the possibility of continuing to squeeze, and if you don't squeeze out the horns of the cow, you will be too sorry for the poor people who gave him nicknames. But now is different from the past, Yuan Jie's identity and status are there, and the comparison of the strength of the two sides is unbearable to hear, and it is really urgent, who knows if it will be happy and sad?

So when you see it, you will accept it, Xu You's face showed a resolute look, and said: "Yuan Gong's words are like an initiation, so that I will not become a sinner of the Xu clan through the ages." Anyway, the marriage is determined, since there is no fate, I can't force it, I quit this family business. ”

Yuan Jie was overjoyed and was about to speak, but Xu You was embarrassed: "But there are still some inappropriate......

Yuan Jie was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"I know, I naturally understand that the divorce is for my good. I don't know, I thought that Yuan Gong hated the poor and loved the rich, and repeatedly acted like a villain. Therefore, for the sake of the reputation of Yuan Gong and your mansion, if anyone asks, I will make it clear that the divorce is something that I brought up first, and it has nothing to do with Yuan Gong. ”

This is quite a bit of a reference to Sang scolding Huai, but Xu You's expression is sincere, and his acting skills are full marks, Yuan Jie didn't know if he was sarcastic or really thinking about himself, coughed lightly, and said: "It's so good, it's just that I was wronged Qilang......"

"No grievances, no grievances!" Xu You saw that the foreshadowing was almost over, and his expression was even more solemn, and said: "In order to make these words more credible, can Yuan Gong consider returning the dowry?" In this way, outsiders will only praise Yuan Gong as a sincere gentleman, and if he doesn't get a little cheap from the younger generations, even if he makes trouble with the lord, he can't find a little omission. ”

Yuan Jie's eyes gathered slightly, he didn't feel sorry for money, but only at this point did he understand that Xu You had said so much before, in fact, it was not that he was reluctant to marry Yuan Fu, but that he came for this dowry.

It's ridiculous to say, the daughter of the Yuan Mansion is so noble in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of this kid, it is not as important as those things.

Yuan Jie didn't know that there was a famous saying in later generations that "a problem that can be solved with money is not a problem", but for him, it is naturally the most ideal result for this matter to end with money. To be honest, Xu You's bluff just now really scared him a little, for fear of another twist and turn, and said with a smile: "I'll let people pick up the gift list...... Feng Tong! ”

Feng Tong, who had been standing outside, immediately pushed the door in, and listened to Yuan Jie's instructions, a little confused, but still replied: "There is no need to take the list, it is all remembered in the heart of the old slave, a total of ten zhangbi, thirty deerskins, four sheep, two calves, one goose, one hundred pieces of wine and millet rice and flour, fifty horses of brocade, three hundred horses of silk, and five hundred ...... of money."

Feng Tong spoke freely for a while, and Xu You listened to it just like the joke in the previous cross talk "Reporting the Name of the Dish", and from another aspect, he really realized the extravagance of the high-ranking families in this era.

However, the good of in-laws is a great event after all, and it is reasonable to have a rich gift list, compared to He Zeng, a famous foodie in the Wei Dynasty, the cost of catering is 10,000 yuan a day, and it is said that there is no place to put chopsticks, this is just pediatrics. Moreover, many things in the ritual list are stipulated in the "Rites and Rituals", such as the wild goose, which is a necessary thing, and the wild goose moves north and south according to the season, which is used as a metaphor for the woman to not lose her festival, and the geese fly in a column, but it tells people to grow up and be orderly and insurmountable.

However, because of this "wild goose", there are a lot of funny things. You must know that geese are high-level animals flying in the sky after all, and it is not easy for ordinary people to catch them. In view of this, after collective discussion among the government, society, and celebrities from all walks of life, such as Xuan, Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, it was decided that "goose" could be used instead. As soon as this decree came out, it was estimated that the wild goose clan would "sing songs", but the goose would have to be "always a relative".

"Steward Feng is so anxious, he even remembers the gift list for such a long time, and in Duke Yuan's mansion, he is really full of heroes."

Being praised in front of his own master, compared to saying 10,000 words in private, Feng Tong was extremely proud, and looking at Xu You became much more pleasing to the eye, at least not as disgusted as before.

Yuan Jie frowned and said: "Qilang, if it is returned according to the original gift list, I'm afraid that some things will not be ready today...... "Not to mention anything else, it's Dayan, where can I find it this season?"

"Don't be so troublesome," Xu You said with a smile: "Except for the coins, other things are discounted by 500,000 yuan, a total of one million yuan, so it is much more convenient for everyone." ”

10,000 yuan can buy 150 to 200 stone grains, or seven sheep, 10 horses of silk cloth and exchange for one tael of gold, Xu You's price is actually low. It's not that he is shy and tender-faced, and he doesn't dare to open his mouth, but he made a decision after careful consideration, if he has an official status now, he can take tens of millions of dollars and leave. But his identity is just a Qi people, at the bottom of the society, if he carries a huge amount of money with him, and goes to a place like Qiantang where he is not familiar with life, he is not only too ostentatious, but also very easy to cause all kinds of trouble. Therefore, no more, no less, millions of dollars are just right, which can not only meet the basic needs of the moment, but also save the principal for future planning.

As long as he has the principal in hand, Xu You, who once crisscrossed the business sea, is not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles at all. In the final analysis, whether it is ancient or modern, the nature of society has not undergone fundamental changes, and it is clear that this is true for life, work, and business!

"How can I take advantage of you!"

Yuan Jie's demeanor still has this, and he said to Feng Tong: "Go and withdraw 1.5 million yuan, prepare the ox cart, and when Qilang leaves for Qiantang, send it directly to the boat." ”

Since Yuan Jie had to give an extra 500,000 yuan, Xu You did not refuse, and thanked him with a smile. The matter of money was agreed, Yuan Jie didn't want to delay, and asked Feng Tong to get the marriage certificate, then turned his head to look at Xu You, and said, "Have you ever carried your marriage certificate with you?" ”

At that time, the marriage certificate was in duplicate, and the man and the woman kept one copy each, Xu You shook his head and said: "That night there was a sudden disaster, everything was destroyed in the fire, and nothing was brought out." ”

Although it is said that the marriage certificate should be withdrawn after the divorce, it really does not matter if there is no one, the important thing is not the marriage certificate, but the divorce certificate. Waiting for Feng Tong to take a wooden letter, Yuan Jie asked him to hand it over to Xu You, and said, "Open it and take a look, is it this?" ”

The wooden letter is made of boxwood, the length of the letter is one foot and two inches, the width is one inch and two minutes, the thickness of the letter board is two points, the thickness of the letter cover is three points, and the width of the letter is eight points. After the wooden letter is covered, three roads are made in the center, and then tied with five-colored threads, and it is officially completed.

Xu You looked at the wooden letter in his hand, there was no well in his heart, he reached out to untie the five-color thread, lifted the lid, and saw the marriage book inside. The marriage book must be written on good paper and in Li, but the Lishu of this era is neither an eight-point book nor a Han Li, but a regular script referred to by later generations.

He swept it slightly, and saw that the handwriting was rigid and clumsy, and the rhyme was vivid, and he chuckled in his heart and sighed in his mouth. Yuan Jieqi said: "What's the matter? ”

"It's okay, it's just that I suddenly saw this thing, and I felt it in my heart."
