Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Liu Jing sent her mother away, and she also calculated in her heart that she was almost twenty years old this year, and as far as Daming was concerned, she was considered a leftover woman. After all, Ren Yingying, the daughter of the former head of the Demon Sect, is only twenty-four or five this year, and because she can't get married, she is called a leftover aunt. The national treasure is now the uncle of the dynasty, and the wife's family must be firmly rooted, and he doesn't know how many sins he will suffer in the future. Do you really want to form an alliance with non-smoking girls?
While she was thinking, she only heard the sound of footsteps, Qu Feiyan ran in like a gust of wind, threw herself into Liu Jing's arms and said, "Sister help, brother-in-law wants to kill me." ”
Later, Zheng Guobao shouted: "If you have the ability to stand, don't run, it's strange if I don't pinch your face into a big pie!" Seeing that the two of them were in a mess, Liu Jing sneered and thought: How good it would be if he was an ordinary person, we would live such a life, and there would be a lot less trouble.
Liu Jing did not agree with her mother's mention from the bottom of her heart, and her affection for Zheng Guobao had nothing to do with his identity. In her heart, the other party is still the one who dares to sell smuggled salt in order to make her family better, and she dares to knock on the window when her father drinks too much, and jumps into the room to sleep with her life-saving talent.
But marriage is never a matter of two people, but a combination of interests between two families. In fact, if it weren't for Zheng Guobao's preemptive access, she would have been married off long ago and used as a tool for family marriage.
Therefore, no matter how much dissatisfaction she had in her heart, she could only take advantage of Zheng Guobao's happiness to say her mother's request. As a result, when I saw Zheng Guobao's face, it was ugly in an instant, although it immediately returned to normal, but the change in that moment also made Liu Jing feel uncomfortable.
"National treasure, if this is difficult, then forget it. I turned around and said to my mother, don't be angry, my mother is like that, in fact, my heart is very good. ”
Zheng Guobao smiled bitterly: "Sister Jing, I am just a national uncle, not an immortal. Let's say that my sister is just a royal concubine, not a queen, but that Wang Xi's sister, she is a queen, and her family doesn't dare to say that she can arrange someone to come out casually. The imperial court has a system of the imperial court, and it is not that I can do whatever I want. Bai Siwen in Hengshan County is easy to deal with, but Yang Taishou in Hengzhou, that is a clear stream character, I will beg him? Then your two brothers are waiting to be dismissed by him even for his fame! Besides, the imperial court has a school, and you have to come down regularly to assess the scholars, and your two brothers are not very successful in studying, and I can't watch them for a lifetime. ”
Liu Jing was trained by him, bowed his head and said, "I knew that sooner or later it would be such a result." It's a pity that my mother still can't see through it. Speaking of which, it is still your identity as an uncle, which makes my mother dazzled, if you are still that ordinary person, she will not have so many thoughts, and she will have so many troubles. ”
Zheng Guobao said: "If I am an ordinary person, is it strange that your mother is willing to let you marry me?" Not to mention being a concubine, even being a wife, it is impossible. But what Lao Taishui said also makes sense, even if you have to pay for a concubine, I can't just marry you. ”
The next day, Zheng Guobao invited Mrs. Zhou, and after saluting, he said, "Lao Taishui." The son-in-law has been away from home for a long time, and he thinks that he should also take Sister Jing back to Daxing. But until then, there are some things that need to be taken care of. Two brothers, I guarantee the identity of one of them as a brocade cloth general flag, so it is enough to use it locally. Moreover, if someone wants to find trouble, this general flag identity is also useful. ”
Mrs. Zhou heard that her two sons only got the status of a general flag, which was more than a step worse than that of the old man, and she was a little dissatisfied in her heart. But without waiting for her to say anything, Zheng Guobao said again: "I have also patrolled our family's industry these days, I see that there are 500 acres of good land in the countryside, there are two silk villages in the city, a restaurant business is good, and the other is the group of jade courtyards, also known as the land of gold in the sun." If these places are given to Sister Jing as a dowry, Sister Jing has face and does not say it, my sister will definitely be happy, and I have to praise Sister Jing for understanding things and understanding etiquette. How is the Thai water meaning? ”
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she was immediately furious. Not only has the benefits shrunk greatly, but why did we start to think about our Liu family's industry again? Although this dowry nominally belongs to Liu Jing, if she remarries one day, she can go with the person. But the question is, if you marry into your uncle's mansion as a concubine, how can you remarry casually? His Uncle Zheng Guo was so kind to come out to help, and he thought that Jing'er had a vision and found a golden beetle son-in-law, but he didn't expect that he was a master who ate people and didn't spit out bones.
She sank her face and said, "Uncle Guo's words are bad." My daughter married into your family, and it was also a dowry from your Zheng family, why did you remember my Liu family's property? This little property in my family is shared by her two brothers, and it has nothing to do with her being a woman. ”
Zheng Guobao shook his head and said: "Lao Taishui's words are wrong. I have inquired, when you married Lao Taishan, the dowry you brought was 400 acres of good land, plus two pharmacies in the county, I am not wrong. Later, Lao Taishan took a concubine from Fang's family, and got 400 catties of mercury; The concubine Li got the rich and noble square. These are all accounts that can be checked, and they cannot be relied upon. My family is also a relative of the emperor, and Sister Jing is from a big family, so is she empty-handed and doesn't bring a dowry? As for how to divide the property, if there is something that Lao Taishui or the two brothers don't understand, it will be handed over to the county Bai Daling for judgment. ”
Mrs. Zhou knew in her heart that if this matter was really attributed to Bai Siwen's dog official, it would definitely be a mess for her side to lose. had to say that he was not happy, and left first, and then recruited his daughter and scolded him fiercely. said that she had no eyes, and attracted a ruthless robber to her house, and she wanted to take away the inheritance of her ancestors.
Liu Jing was also angry when she heard this, and returned to the inner house to find Zheng Guobao, only to learn that he was invited by the head of Huashanyue to drink tea. The heroes who participated in the handwashing conference that day said goodbye and left, but only the Huashan faction refused to leave. The head of Na Yue and Zheng Guobao seemed to be familiar at first sight, and they came to invite Uncle Guo to drink tea and play a game in three days.
By the time Zheng Guobao came back in the evening, Liu Jing's anger had already disappeared for the most part, and Zheng Guobao even explained: "When do I really take your family's industry in my eyes?" This is just an attitude, my Uncle Zheng Guo is not serving your Liu family for free. Lao Taishui hates me in his heart, it's better than using me as a land lord. I was generous at the beginning, but now I have to use this trick, otherwise it will be difficult to get out. ”
Liu Jing understood his intentions, and knew that what he said was not unreasonable, so she didn't say anything more. It's just that she is caught in the middle, and she is naturally in a dilemma, and she has been left behind by her mother a few times. It was Qu Feiyan who took advantage of the fact that no one was around, and the sentence that she recited to promote Mien and fight Mi hate, relieved her a lot of depression. She also knows that although everyone is unhappy now, they haven't scratched each other's faces, and those industries are not really coming. If you really get what big demands your mother makes in the future and can't agree to them, then you will really be a bad person.
In the Donghua Gate of the Jingshi Division, in the Yamen of the East Investigation Factory, Zhang Whale, the current master of ceremonies and the eunuch of the Dongchang Official School of the Governor of the Qincha, was angry at a few cronies in front of him: "Useless minions! If you can't even do such a trivial thing, what's the use of asking you? Good to catch the remnants of the Demon Sect, arrest the anti-thieves and rebels, was said by the palace to be a general, our family has lived for such a long time, I haven't heard of it, Henan's general, the ticket can be set on the ground in Huguang! ”
Cui Shaobai, who was sentenced to 100 households on the side, accompanied him and said carefully: "The governor is wise." It's just that now Banzai prefers that one, and whatever he says is what he says, we have ironclad evidence to do it, and we can't help the pillow wind blowing. The one said that the eggs are square, and the heavenly family will only tell us to find the square eggs, which is okay. ”
Zhang Whale patted the case and said: "Our family can't suffer this loss no matter what!" This time, we lost money, not only did we not scare that person, but on the contrary, we made that person worry about the Zhen Song army. I watched Zuo Lengchan, Wang Tianzong, and Liu Zhenhua not be able to jump for a few days. Let them do their best for our family in the end, Shaobai, you send someone to send those three heads to Zuo Lengchan. said that it was Uncle Guo who cut them down and gave his father-in-law a head. Songshan Thirteen Taibao, folded three at once, I think Zuo Lengchan can still sit? Isn't he known as having 3,000 customers? Let's see if there are any Yu Rang and Nie Zheng among these thousands of disciples. Besides, send someone to send the confession in our hands to Huguang Xun according to Zhang Sihai, that person seems to be friends with Gu Xiancheng, the head of the household department, and like the surnamed Gu, they are all things that have been caught in the head by the door. Seeing that confession, most of them will bite the Jingjie gong and hold on, our family can't cure him, let's see if the Jianghu people and Qingliu can cure him!
