Chapter 122: The Zhao Family's Calculations
Yuan Lingchen stopped outside the door and listened faintly.
“…… Our Jingcheng, except for Chen Weiyun's three families, that is, the Zhao family is the most prominent, they are a scholarly family, and being able to marry into their family is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes......"
In and out of the words, there is contempt for the Yuan family.
"We are just ordinary farmers, and such a prominent family may not be able to climb high." Chen's voice was faint, although Yuan Lingchen had never heard what kind of person the main owner of the iceman was, but judging from her grandmother's attitude, it was not reliable.
The iceman thought that he was nine out of ten, but he didn't want Chen's attitude to be so cold, and his smile was also restrained: "If you want this child of your family, you can't be old, you missed this, but there is no such a suitable marriage." ”
"Even if my children don't marry for the rest of their lives, it makes it impossible to rush out because they are old." At this point, looking at the iceman's gloomy expression, he eased his tone again: "You have bothered this time, and please tell Mrs. Zhao that we don't have this blessing." ”
The iceman was invited out by Chen: "You have to think clearly, such a good family affair, if you miss it, it will be gone." ”
"Please go back."
The iceman was not angry, so she had to leave unwillingly, and when she went out, she was met with a cold gaze, which suddenly poured out all the fire in her body like ice and snow.
She was a little intimidated by the momentum in front of her, and she didn't dare to say anything inappropriate.
When she came to her senses, the man had turned and entered the inner courtyard, but he didn't even greet her.
If it was someone else, she would definitely scold her for being uneducated, but that person, with that full bearing, would not make her say anything disparaging.
Chen, out of etiquette, wanted to send the iceman out, and he was also standing by her side at this time.
The iceman asked with some curiosity, "That person is also from your family?" ”
She thought of the rumors in the market that Yuan Minzhi had a daughter who was well-funded, and she had heard of the child's age, and she thought it was an exaggeration, after all, he was only in his early tens, even if he was good-looking, he was still a child who had not yet grown up.
It's just that when she saw it today, she felt that she was wrong.
The surprise in her eyes was full of Chen's eyes: "That's the eldest daughter of my family's Minzhi." ”
She didn't know that this iceman had the idea of her granddaughter, but Chen always had a mysterious trust in her granddaughter, and knew that no one could make her suffer.
Even if someone really wants to think like that, it can only be self-inflicted, so she doesn't hide it, and directly gives the iceman what she wants to know.
After sending the people away, the Chen family couldn't help but snort coldly, and went directly into the inner courtyard and found Yuan Lingchen.
When I saw someone, I couldn't help but sigh.
"Grandmother, what's wrong?"
Chen shook Yuan Lingchen's hand: "There is a delicate flower at home, and seeing that it is blooming day by day, my grandmother is worried that she will be made up of her mind by the short-sighted one." ”
Since she came to Jingcheng, her granddaughter's complexion has been flourishing day by day, how can she not worry?
Yuan Lingchen didn't know much about his complexion, and only thought that Chen was worried about Yuan Baozhu: "Grandmother doesn't have to worry, according to the current situation, if you don't turn over the New Year, the dust will be settled. ”
"Your aunt is blessed, but grandmother is not worried...... Chen looked at Yuan Lingchen: "It's you who really makes grandmother feel uneasy." ”
Yuan Lingchen smiled: "I'm only in my early tens, and it's still early to be married." ”
Chen pointed to the delicate mirror on the dressing table: "I am only in my early tens, and I have such a complexion, and my grandmother is really not ...... in her heart."
Although she knows that her son's official position will not be low in the future, it is just that in this world, the real power is never some high-ranking officials in the court.
It's those big families with hundreds of years of inheritance, and those families don't even buy the accounts of the royal family, how can they compete?
Yuan Lingchen didn't expect that his grandmother would start worrying about her fate so early. She remembered the ugliness of Fang Cai's eyes shining when he left, and couldn't help frowning: "But what happened to Fang Cai's person?" ”
"There's nothing in that dress, but my grandmother is looking at it, she is on your mind, but I don't know what to think about......"
"Left and right are just a few of the possibilities. Don't worry, I've got my own solution. ”
"Then grandmother won't bother you." Chen stood up, and when he was about to go out, he couldn't help but look back: "That Lu family's lang, grandmother looks at how much she has dealings with you, if you ......?"
"Grandmother." Yuan Lingchen hurriedly interrupted her: "He and I are just ordinary friends. ”
Chen sighed, but thought in his heart, if he was just an ordinary friend, why would he follow him to Jingcheng, thousands of miles away, and still have no intention of leaving.
Her granddaughter has not yet opened her mind and can't figure out the deep meaning.
But after all, she has lived most of her life, and she has long seen that person is a person with a heart.
She also knew that the Lu family was high, and they couldn't climb high, but if that person really had a heart, he might not be able to protect their family Chan'er.
……
But the iceman came out of the Yuan family and went directly to the Zhao family in the south.
The subordinates of the Zhao family were quite a little over-eyed, and when they saw her coming, they didn't see much enthusiasm, and introduced her to the door at will.
The iceman sneered in his heart, thinking that this Zhao family was originally just a merchant who got rich by business, and he only began to pay attention to learning three generations ago, but the children in the family did not have much capital, that is, they relied on their in-laws to find a half-official position.
It's just some officials, King Jing came to Jingcheng, but the Zhao family didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the banquet
I don't know where I got the news of Yuan Minzhi, and I thought about taking advantage of the fact that the Yuan family had not yet made a fortune and set up the family affairs of Yuan Minzhi's sister in advance.
In the end, he bullied the Yuan family from a peasant family, and he didn't have much knowledge, taking advantage of Yuan Minzhi's absence, coaxing people to make a marriage contract, and waiting until the raw rice was cooked and ripe, even if Yuan Minzhi was unwilling, what could he do, and he had to pinch his nose to recognize this in-law?
The iceman looked down on the Zhao family's behavior very much, that is, because of the generous remuneration they gave, he was willing to help.
followed the Zhao family into the second gate, went to the backyard, and saw the Zhao family's wife.
"Did they answer?"
The iceman grimaced: "This can't be done. ”
"No? Don't you have the power of my Zhao family? ”
"That's it."
"What about the bride price for fifty acres of fertile land? You haven't? ”
Mrs. Zhao had a good abacus, thinking that those farmers were shallow and had always valued the proportion of fields, and she proposed 50 acres of land as a dowry, because she was sure that they would not refuse.
Then it must be that the Iceman is not clear.
"I have to understand clearly, as long as they bite to death and don't let go, I can't do anything."
Mrs. Zhao put the tea bowl on the table heavily, and became angry: "I don't know what to do." ”
"Now that Yuan Minzhi's prestige has spread throughout the Northland, it is common sense for them to take Qiao, besides, your family's San Lang is ...... concubine."
