Chapter 120: The bottom of the kettle is drawn again
Chai Wanchun dared to talk back to Wu Song, just hiding behind Chai Huangzhou and his wife and pretending to be a filial son and grandson, even his father Chai Wancheng had never seen him so well-behaved.
Chai Huangzhou ignored Wu Song, and just said to Du Jia Zhengse: "Liya is my daughter after all, and her marriage must be counted by the nods of my husband and wife, how about it, how about talking about it officially today?" ”
At this time, Shi Qian didn't know when he returned to Du Jia's side, and secretly pulled the corner of his clothes, Du Jia nodded quietly, signaling him to stay by his side.
Due to Shi Qian's short stature, coupled with his ability to cut off his breath, no one else even noticed his existence, as if he had been here all along.
Du Jia then said: "Okay, then according to Master Chai's words, let's make this matter clear here today." ”
Immediately, the entourage quickly cleaned up the scene, carried the wounded down, and brought many tables and chairs, and invited Chai Huangzhou and his wife to sit on the main seat, while Du Jia and Chai Wanchun stood below.
It's just that Chai Wanchun has been frightened and took the initiative to stay away from Du Jia, especially Wu Song.
At this time, Chai Huangzhou finally regained some of the lofty feeling of the head of the Chai family, and slowly took a sip of tea before slowly saying: "Both of them are here to ask the little girl for marriage, the old man here expresses his heartfelt gratitude, I believe that I only have this one daughter, so I can only choose one among the two, and I hope that the virtuous nephew who was not selected will forgive me." ”
Now that he has to choose a son-in-law through this traditional way instead of fighting and killing that he is not good at, this Chaihuangzhou has regained the momentum of the superior, and it is familiar to talk about this kind of scene, and it can no longer be familiar.
This situation is undoubtedly what Chai Wanchun likes and is good at, there are generally two methods for a gentleman like him, the first is to bully others with the strength of the crowd, and the second is to use money to smash, and now the first way obviously does not work in front of Du Jia and them, so they can only use the second way.
He immediately went up and bowed deeply and said: "Uncle and aunt are above, the little nephew came to your house this time to ask for relatives is very important, and specially presented one hundred taels of red gold, one thousand taels of official silver, a pair of dragon and phoenix auspicious jade, a set of lion rolling hydrangea jade pen holder pen holder, a set of Xinfeng Xiang pure gold top jewelry, a box of Suzhou first-class embroidery, and a number of small objects to reward the brothers and sisters in the house to play." ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Du Jia triumphantly, red gold is the best gold, that is, the current thousand-foot gold, and the exchange ratio of silver is basically between one to ten or even fifteen, and the official silver is specially cast by the government, both in fineness and shape is the best, and it is very popular in circulation, plus the rest of the jewelry gifts and the like, Chai Wanchun brought at least more than 10,000 taels of silver this time!
You must know that Liang Zhongshu gave his father-in-law Cai Jing's birthday gang is 100,000 yuan, and it is only 50,000 taels when converted into silver, this gift can be said to be very heavy, and the average rich family can't get it together even if he is bankrupt, so Chai Wanchun will be so proud, he doesn't believe that Du Jia can also take out the same gift, and then Chai Huangzhou will naturally be able to let him out.
Sure enough, Chai Huangzhou stroked his beard with satisfaction and said: "It's really a waste of money for the virtuous nephew's family, it seems that the old brother of Wancheng is bound to win, hehehe, the virtuous nephew must pay tribute to the old man after he goes back." ”
The meaning of his words felt like he had already regarded Chai Wanchun as his son-in-law, and Chai Jin, who was sitting on the side, was dissatisfied: "Dad, what you said is unfair, at least wait for Jia Shao to finish speaking, right?" ”
Chai Wanchun smiled sarcastically: "The big official is reasonable, uncle should let this Brother Du also show his sincerity, maybe he can get a richer gift, why don't Du Gongzi let us see it?" ”
What he said was completely cheap, like a boy who drove a Porsche 911 and said to others, you take your car out and have a car with me, etc.
Chai Huangzhou also laughed, and waited with Chai Wanchun to see Du Jia's jokes, but Du Jia was not as cramped and embarrassed as they expected, and just asked lightly: "Chai Gongzi said this lightly, let's take out the things first, otherwise I can still say that my gift is a million taels of silver, who wouldn't talk about it?" ”
Chai Wanchun was even more proud, and raised his head arrogantly and said: "I guess you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, thinking that my son is not as honest as you?" Okay, I'll let you open your eyes, and if you die, I said Bao Zhong, you quickly take someone out the gift and give it to your uncle, and let this Du Gongzi shut up. ”
The master immediately nodded and trotted in with a few entourage, Chai Wanchun and Du Jia both stood there calmly, seemingly waiting to see each other's jokes with confidence.
But there was no time for half a pillar of incense, so Bao Zhong ran out in a panic, his head was covered with cold sweat, but several people were empty-handed, Chai Wanchun's face suddenly became unsightly, and he asked anxiously: "Bao Zhong, what are you doing, where are the gifts?" ”
Bao Zhong said with a sad face: "Childe, something is wrong, your house has been turned into a mess, and those gifts are gone." ”
Chai Wanchun's eyes were dark and he almost didn't fall on the spot, but fortunately, a few entourages next to him supported him, and he muttered to himself: "No, it's impossible, this thing I got up this morning and still put it at the head of the bed, how can I say that it's gone?" Bao Zhong, are you mistaken? ”
Bao Zhong hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Son, the villain has searched carefully several times, and he will definitely not be mistaken, there must be a thief who stole something." ”
Chai Wanchun couldn't support it anymore, and 'Gu Dong' sat on the ground all of a sudden, Du Jia smiled beside him and said: "Chai Gongzi, what about your gift worth 10,000 gold, why don't you take it out and let us open our eyes, or do you think that our identity is not enough to be qualified to see your treasures?" This is yours, it's just a white body, Master Chai is the head of your Chai family, and there are also Chai officials. ”
Chai Wanchun was almost crying without tears, so he could only stand up and say to Chai Huangzhou: "Uncle and aunt, the little nephew is panicked, the gifts were all prepared, but they were all stolen if I didn't want to, I hope that the uncle will give the little nephew a little time, I will definitely take the thief and recover the property, and at the same time I will notify the family to prepare a heavier gift, which will definitely not embarrass the uncle." ”
Chai Huangzhou hurriedly comforted: "Virtuous nephew Hugh should be sad, since this thing is lost in my place, the old man will definitely help to get the thief." ”
Then he turned his face to look at Du Jia and sneered: "Du Gongzi, don't talk to Wan Chunxian's nephew first, but where is your gift, can you take it out and see it?" ”
