"I've seen uncles and elders." Coming to the living room of the Li family's compound, Li Hongyu bowed to everyone present in a formal manner.

"Yu'er, take off that half of the jade pendant and show it to your uncle." After Li Hongyu finished saluting, Zhao commanded quietly.

The atmosphere in the living room was a little dull, Li Renhe and the others had already read the letter that Li Renhai wrote to the Zhao family back then, and understood why the Zhao family did not disclose this matter to the outside world: Li Renhai did not specify the identity of the betrothed daughter Fang family with Li Hongyu in the letter.

Not only that, but the Zhao family also found the subordinate of the Li family who sent the letter back then, and the other party happened to be working on the dock in Baihe Town now, confirming that Li Renhai asked him to send the letter and the love token back then.

This made Li Renhe feel quite helpless, and he recognized the font on the letter at a glance as Li Renhai's, which was beyond doubt.

Besides, even if this letter is forged, he can't say anything, and he can't find the dead Li Renhai to confront him, right? Don't want the face of the Li family in that way!

Hearing Zhao's order, Li Hongyu took off the half of the cloud dragon jade pendant hanging around his neck and stepped forward and handed it to Li Renhe, who looked through it and handed it to Li Renhu at the next place.

After Li Renhu finished reading it, he handed it to a clan elder sitting on the side, and soon, this half of the jade pendant was passed among everyone at the scene, and finally returned to Li Hongyu's hand.

"Brother and sister, after all these years, there is no news from the other party, and nine times out of ten they want to regret their relatives." Li Renhe broke the silence of the scene after a deep groan, and said to the Zhao family in a deep voice, "It's not a way for you to wait like this, in case the other party finds another in-law for your daughter, which will disgrace our Li family and delay Yu'er's lifelong event!" ”

"Big brother, this family affair was set when Xianggong was alive, although there is no news from the other party now, it is not appropriate to rashly let Yu'er get married, if the other party comes to fulfill the marriage contract in the future, our Li family will be criticized."

The Zhao family had already dealt with it, and replied in an orderly manner when they heard the words, and now that she has this family affair set by Li Renhai, she is enough to compete with Li Renhe, and Li Renhe can no longer use the identity of the patriarch to force her.

Li Renhe's brows furrowed, and he looked at Li Renhu at the next place, the Zhao family had already said this, and as the patriarch and eldest brother, it was not easy for him to say anything more.

"Brother and sister, having said that, we can't wait for them to come to the door endlessly, we should plan ahead of the rainy day, and we can't delay Yu'er to open the branches and leaves of the third room, otherwise we will not only be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, but also attract gossip from the outside world."

Seeing this, Li Renhu hesitated for a moment, and said to the Zhao family, since it is inconvenient for Li Renhu to come forward, then he is the only one to charge.

This is also a matter of no choice, because this matter involves the future mother of the Li family's third room, so it is inconvenient for those clan elders to get involved too much, in the final analysis, this is the family affairs of Li Renhe, Li Renhu and the Zhao family, although they are also members of the Li family, the blood relationship is a little far away.

"What the second brother said is very true, if the other party doesn't show up when Yu'er is weak, then I will give Yu'er a marriage."

Zhao sighed secretly in his heart when he heard this, knowing that he couldn't avoid Li Hongyu's marriage no matter what today, so he said solemnly to Li Renhu.

In ancient times, men at the age of 20 were called weak crowns, performed crown salutes, and wore adult hats to show adulthood, but their bodies were still not strong and relatively young, so they were called "weak".

In ancient times, both men and women had to grow long hair, and when they reached a certain age, they had to hold a "coming-of-age ceremony" ceremony, and men were 20 years old "weak crown", and women were 15 years old, which meant that they could marry.

When a man performs the crown ceremony, he puts his hair in a bun, called "knotting", and then puts on a hat, and from then on he is an adult.

It is worth mentioning that the weak crown and the queen can only be married, which refers to the main wife that the Ming media is marrying, and the concubine does not have this requirement.

Due to the concept of inheritance, the children of some large families accepted concubines before the weak crown, such as Li Renhai accepted the Yang family who served by his side as a concubine before marrying the Zhao family.

Qin De and his wife suddenly showed an anxious look on their faces when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at Li Renhe, Qin Yue was only half a year younger than Li Hongyu, and when Li Hongyu was weak, she had already reached her twentieth year, in ancient times, this belonged to an older woman, and if something happened, Qin Yue's life would be ruined.

In other words, the longer Qin Yue and Li Hongyu's marriage drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Qin Yue, even if the woman who is engaged to Li Hongyu does not show up at that time, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Hongyu will not have a new marriage, and Qin De and his wife are powerless to stop it.

As for Li Hongyu's offensive act when he saved Qin Yue, considering that Li Hongyu was using the secret technique of the Western Regions to save Qin Yue's life, his identity at that time was a doctor who saved lives and helped the wounded.

Therefore, even if Qin De and his wife brought this matter to the government, the presiding judge would only sympathize with Qin Yue's experience at most and would not think that Li Hongyu was belittling her.

It's just that the words of the yamen are not good for the reputation of the Li family, no matter how Li Hongyu is also connected with Qin Yue's skin, it has indeed caused irreparable damage to Qin Yue's reputation, and in addition, Qin De and his wife will not get anything.

Therefore, it is impossible for Qin De and his wife to wait until Li Hongyu is twenty years old to talk about his marriage with Qin Yue, at that time, God knows what will happen, and the two must book the marriage of Qin Yue and Li Hongyu now, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"Are you willing to let Yue'er wait for a few years, if the betrothed person has not yet appeared when Yu'er is weak, then let Yue'er marry Yu'er!" Li Renhe naturally knew the worries of Qin De and his wife, so after pondering for a while, he asked the two of them solemnly, he wanted to take this opportunity to settle the relationship between Li Hongyu and Qin Yue.

To be honest, Li Renhe thought that the person who was engaged to Li Renhai back then would definitely want to break the contract, otherwise there would not be no news for more than ten years, so that Qin Yue would be able to marry Li Hongyu at that time.

Moreover, it can be inferred from Li Hongyu's engagement that the woman's age must be almost the same as her, and she has been married to someone else before Li Hongyu's weak crown, so there is nothing to worry about, even if the Zhao family can find the other party, it may be too late.

"!" Li Hongyu's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and after scolding in his heart, he looked at the Zhao family who was sitting there with slightly frowning eyebrows, hoping that the Zhao family could think of a way to stop this, Li Renhe clearly wanted to stuff Qin Yue to him, and he could only marry Qin Yue in the future except for the betrothed woman.

"That's very good." Qin De and his wife were overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded and agreed.

With Li Renhe's words, the two of them took a reassuring pill, at least Qin Yue's reputation was maintained, just imagine if Qin Yue was a remnant of flowers and willows, how could the Li family agree to this family business?

At this moment, Qin De and his wife were not worried about Zhao's opposition, because Zhao had no reason to refuse, Li Renhe did not want to discuss this matter with Zhao, but had already made a decision, and Zhao was powerless to resist it.

"The eldest brother is reasonable, and this matter will be handled according to the eldest brother's wishes." Sure enough, Zhao's willow eyebrows frowned and bowed slightly to Li Renhe, smiled and agreed, but felt very helpless in his heart.

As Qin De and his wife thought, the Zhao family now has no excuse to shirk again, she has done her best to get things to this point, rather than tearing her face, it is better to be false and wronged in exchange for a few years of peace, maybe the person who is engaged to Li Hongyu will appear in time, maybe she can find the other party in the past few years.

"Since everyone is not opposed, then make a note, so as to give an explanation to the outside world, so as to save some rumors from the outside."

Seeing that the Zhao family was relieved, Li Renhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the Zhao family and Qin De and his wife quietly.

In this way, you don't have to worry about the Zhao family's remorse, and secondly, it can also keep Qin Yue away from the whirlpool of right and wrong, which will be of great benefit to restoring her reputation, just as Qin De and his wife thought, if she was not Bingqing Yujie, how could the Li family agree to this family business?

Hearing this, Zhao couldn't help but have a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, there was no room for maneuver at all when things came to this point, and then he looked at Li Hongyu who was depressed apologetically, feeling sorry that Li Hongyu had wronged him.

In addition to Qin De's eyeing of the Li family's industry, the most unacceptable thing for the Zhao family is that Qin Yue's reputation is damaged, although Li Hongyu defended Qin Yue in court at the time, but the Zhao family knew that Li Hongyu was just guilty of doing that, otherwise he would have explained the matter to her a long time ago and would not have suddenly mentioned it in court.

However, because of Li Hongyu's words in court, the Zhao family could not use Qin Yue's name to talk about things, which was also the biggest advantage of Qin De and his wife.

Seeing this, Li Hongyu suddenly felt a bitterness in his heart, and then smiled at Zhao Wei disappretently, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since the wood has become a boat, then he can only accept his fate and pay for his pity and pity in the public court at that time.

With the signing of that somewhat alternative engagement agreement between the Zhao family and Qin De, in just one noon, the news of Li Hongyu and Qin Yue's engagement spread like a whirlwind throughout Baihe Town under Qin De's deliberate dissemination.

It's just that it is a little different from the fact that Qin De and his wife originally took the initiative to promote the family affair and became Li Hongyu crying and shouting to marry the beautiful, virtuous, gentle and generous Qin Yue, and Qin De and his wife were influenced by their sincerity and finally agreed, which indirectly proved Qin Yue's innocence.

Moreover, what shocked the outside world was that Li Renhai actually ordered a family for Li Hongyu before he died, but unfortunately he didn't have time to indicate the identity of the other party, which made Li Hongyu and Qin Yue's family affair still have a variable.

Li Hongyu laughed when he heard about the rumors in the town, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, he had already calculated that if the woman who was his betrothed didn't appear before his weak crown, he would arrange one himself, anyway, he couldn't let the Qin family's conspiracy succeed.

"Mother, how can you do this, he has saved his daughter's life." Qin Yue also learned about this after the fact, and after being shocked, she expressed her dissatisfaction to Mrs. Qin, "My daughter has already thought about it, she will not marry in this life, and she will find a nunnery to be her sister-in-law!" ”

"I'm talking stupid things again, good days are waiting for you in the back, what kind of sister-in-law are you!" Hearing this, Mrs. Qin immediately stretched out her finger and gently poked Qin Yue's forehead, "Although Li Sangongzi saved your life, the first thing started because of him, and now everyone knows that he took advantage of you, who will marry you if he doesn't marry you?" ”

"This matter has been decided, you can wait to be the young grandmother of the Li family with peace of mind." Qin Yue was just about to open her mouth to defend herself, but Mrs. Qin stopped her with a wave of her hand, and then admonished, "You will be kind to Li Sangongzi in the future, no matter how you say that he will also be your husband in the future, Li Sangongzi has a gentle temperament, and you are relatively strong, and you will not be wronged after marrying him." ”

Qin Yue's cheeks couldn't help but blush when she heard this, she wanted to refute but didn't know how to speak, so she bit her lip and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, the look on her face was extremely gloomy, she never imagined that she would marry a cowardly and unmanly fool like Li Hongyu before.
