Chapter 239: No last resort
The bride's behavior further confirmed the conjecture in Li Dao's heart.
In front of everyone, recognizing a woman he didn't know as a righteous daughter seemed to be Li Dao's whim, but in fact, it was just his intention.
Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, what are the characteristics of his daughter Li Menglan, he Li Dao can be said to be the most clear.
But at the moment of this newlywed, how can he be a man who can lightly unveil the red hijab of the bride, even if he is an elder, or even an official envoy.
Because the red hijab should be uncovered by the bridegroom's cave room, it is a ritual that cannot be violated.
But he Li Dao is a calm and cautious person, so naturally he will not rashly do inappropriate things. But if he gave up, he was unwilling and felt very pity.
was unwilling because his daughter did not marry the Chai family, but married Bailifeng, and was naturally tricked by Ye Yu again.
It's a pity that it's because this is a great opportunity to bring down Ye Yu, and it would be a pity to give up just like that.
As long as he can prove that the bride is his daughter in front of everyone, then the Chai family and everyone present will testify, and Ye Yu will be guilty of this matter in the end.
As long as he is guilty, he Li Dao can catch Ye Yu in his hands, and then Ye Yu's life and death will be up to him!
There is a very secret scar on his daughter's wrist, which is the best way to confirm the bride's true body, so he thought of the jade bracelet.
But men and women are not intimate, let alone in this newlywed, so he now recognizes the bride as a righteous daughter.
The bride became a righteous daughter, and it was natural for the father to give gifts from the elders, and it was natural for the father to wear a jade bracelet on his daughter. In this way, it is logical to block everyone's mouths.
"General Li, such a generous gift is really valuable, why don't you wait for your later life to worship heaven and earth, and then accept the general's gift?" Baili Feng stepped forward to stop Li Dao, and persuaded him earnestly.
Li Dao glanced at Baili Feng, and said coldly: "Baili Feng, since the old man is a father-in-law, what's wrong with wearing a family heirloom jade bracelet for his daughter?" ”
"There is nothing wrong with General Li's move, but when the marriage is auspicious, General Li stopped the wedding, and he has already missed the auspicious time, so it may not be good if it is delayed any longer......."
Bailifeng's words are reasonable, and everyone who participated in the wedding also nodded, this wedding time is not chosen at random.
In ancient China, and even in later generations after the destruction of superstition, red and white things had to choose a date, which is a kind of etiquette and a kind of culture.
Although people in the world are not superstitious, all kinds of things in life have a great relationship with this superstition.
Whether it is right or wrong, true or false, there are descendants to figure it out carefully!
However, Bailifeng's words directly stopped Li Dao's intentions.
Ye Yu also spoke out at this moment: "We can all see General Li's kindness, but what Brother Baili said is indeed reasonable, it is not good to miss it in time!" ”
Then Ye Yu motioned for the wedding to continue, and then the sound of suona sounded again.
"Wait!" Li Dao once again stopped the wedding at this moment.
Ye Yu looked angry and asked coldly, "General Li, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you didn't come here this time to congratulate you, but deliberately made it difficult for your own officials? ”
"Lord Ye's words are wrong, today is not that the old man is deliberately embarrassed, but that this matter is related to the family affairs of the Li and Chai families, so I have to be cautious!"
"Joke! Even though they are married for the same date, what is the relationship between the two? General Li, you have to think about it before you speak, otherwise this official will not give up! ”
The confrontation between Ye Yu and Li Dao made the newly lively living room fall into tranquility again, and this time the tranquility was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
"This matter is not questioned by the old man alone, Brother Chai, what do you say?" Li Dao did not contend with Ye Yu directly, but threw the topic to Chai Shuxia.
Chai Shuxia hesitated for a moment in embarrassment, and then said with an unnatural expression: "Lord Ye, today's dog is married, and Brother Li's daughter was robbed by gangsters on the way, and her whereabouts are still unknown, so ......"
Having said this, Chai Shuxia didn't say any more, but Ye Yu snorted softly: "So I was bewitched by someone and came to this official to find my daughter-in-law, isn't it?" ”
"This ......"
"Looking for a daughter-in-law, Chai Guogong should go to Li's house, what are you doing here to be here?"
"Actually......"
Uncle Chai's submissiveness made Li Dao quite displeased, so he took over and said: "Actually, the old man and Brother Chai think that the bride who is married today is the old man's daughter!" ”
Wow!
As soon as Li Dao's words came out, it was a bombshell in the living room, and everyone was in an uproar for a while.
Everyone speculated in their hearts that if this matter was really as Li Dao said, then Ye Yu would be guilty of robbing the people's daughter.
Although it was Baili Feng who got married, everyone understood that if it weren't for Ye Yu's backing, who would dare to secretly move flowers and trees.
"General Li, you can eat indiscriminately, but don't talk nonsense! Do you know what you just said that you will have to pay for it in the future!? ”
Ye Yufeng's eyebrows were furrowed, the pupils of his eyes contracted slightly, and a cold meaning had burst out in his deep eyes.
"Humph! Lord Ye, the old man naturally knows the consequences of this, but if this matter is really as the old man said, then Lord Ye should also know what the consequences will be! ”
Ye Yu stared at Li Dao deadly, and immediately asked, "What if the official doesn't agree?" ”
"The state government officials are all concentrated outside the hotel, so it's better not to embarrass the old man!"
"It seems that General Li is prepared, what a unique gift!" Ye Yu smiled coldly, and then continued: "Okay, the official will promise you, please!" ”
Li Dao was stunned at the moment, but at this moment, he had to send the arrow, so he stepped forward and untied the bride's red hijab.
As soon as the red hijab was revealed, everyone looked away and saw a pretty little lady, although she was not as beautiful as a flower, but she was also pretty and lovely.
Li Dao was stunned when he saw this woman, because this was not his daughter Li Menglan at all.
"This ...... That's impossible! ”
Looking at Li Dao, who was stunned, Ye Yu immediately broke off and said, "General Li, you made a big wedding for no reason, and did such a disrespectful and morally corrupt act, what else do you have to say?" ”
"I ......"
Li Dao couldn't accept this unexpected fact, and all kinds of signs from Fang Cai had already shown it, but why was this bride not his daughter?
He Li Dao never understood this, but he had to refute Ye Yu's face-to-face questioning.
"Lord Ye, since the old man recognized this woman as a righteous daughter, then ......"
"Good! Since General Li loves this woman so much and accepts her as a righteous daughter, then the dowry can't be too shabby, General Li, what do you say? ”
Li Daoqiang suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "The old man has already made the mandarin duck jade bracelet as a dowry!" ”
"Hey, General Li, you are wrong, Baili Feng is the brother of this official, and this official is the son of His Majesty today, is it that this official's brother is so despised?"
Hiss!
This sentence made everyone present gasp, and everyone remembered that Ye Yu was not only the envoy of the Qincha, but also His Royal Highness the current emperor!
Although there is no title, this matter is an indisputable fact!
"What does Lord Ye mean......"
"This matter is simple, marry 100,000 taels! The official can treat this matter as a misunderstanding, otherwise the official will never give up, and this is the price you should pay! ”
100,000 taels!
When everyone heard this number, their mouths grew up and they were amazed. And Li Dao regretted it, it cost 100,000 taels to lift the hijab once, which is really a rare 'good thing'.
The dowry of 100,000 taels is more than that of his own daughter, and Li Dao's heart is slowly dripping blood at the moment.
The goddaughter is his own recognition, and the matter is also caused by himself, now Ye Yu grabs the pigtail and does not let go, and presses him as His Royal Highness, he can only consider himself unlucky!
"Okay, the old man will give 100,000 taels of dowry price! What a disturbance, farewell! After Li Dao said this, he really had no shame to stay any longer, and turned around and left the hotel directly.
Ye Yu did not order the guards to stop him, but glanced at the father and son of the Chai family who wanted to leave, and then said with a smile: "Chai Guogong, ...... today"
"Chai understands, Chai understands...... Chai takes 100,000 taels as a gift, and please don't dislike Lord Ye!" Before Ye Yu's words were finished, Chai Shuxia said with understanding.
"Oh, hehe, the official will act as the groom, thank you to Chai Guogong!" Ye Yu didn't expect this Chai Shuxia to be so knowledgeable about current affairs, so it saved him a lot of tongues.
Then Chai Shuxia and his son left the hotel in a gloomy manner, while the bride entered the back hall to reshape her makeup, and then walked into the living room with a red hijab.
At this time, Baili Feng glanced at Ye Yu, and saw that Ye Yu nodded meaningfully, so he worshiped heaven and earth with the bride, and finally sent him into the cave room.
The appearance of Li Dao, Chai Shuxia and others is just a small episode.
July 13, this day can be described as extremely special, the marriage in Liujiang County is a festive occasion, but the Chai family in Qingyuan Mansion is silent.
The guests did not disperse until very late.
In the pavilion in the back garden of the hotel, Baili Feng did not rush into the cave room, but talked with Ye Yu and Li Dayin.
After three rounds of drinking, Baili Feng solemnly grateful: "Thank you Brother Ye for this success, Baili will never forget!" ”
"Well, it's not a big deal, since you and I are friends, why do you want to see each other like this? However, the bride price of 300,000 taels cannot be returned to you by Ye......"
"Money is nothing but things outside the body, how can Baili value these!"
"That's good!"
Li Dayin drank Ye Yu's special burning knife, but he couldn't stop smiling: "I said Brother Ye, Li really admires you completely today!" casually moved his mouth twice, and he cheated the Chai and Li families for 200,000 taels of silver, and his grandmother's was enough for me to rob ten rich businessmen......"
"Hahaha, in all fairness, Brother Ye said at the time that someone would give silver, and Baili has always been skeptical. I didn't expect these two to really come! Brother Ye, you really have no last resort! ”
Regarding the words of approval of the two, Ye Yu only smiled slightly and did not speak.
He Ye Yu has been in a hurry to use money recently, and it will be inconvenient to turn over from the Zhonghua firm, so he can only extort money from the Chai and Li families......
