Chapter 256: Three taels of deposits

Jiang Baoqing came out of the next village, and on the mountain road that came out, he saw two women carrying vegetable baskets, talking about something with their eyebrows fluttering, and walking towards the village.

Jiang Baoqing was not at ease, but when he was about to pass by, he vaguely heard the word "Boss Gao".

Jiang Baoqing's footsteps paused slightly, and then he heard one of them say happily: "Your daughter is so good-looking, she must be able to succeed, right?" ”

The other said a little proudly: "Oh, my daughter, you also know, we are from ten miles and eight towns, whoever sees her will praise her for being handsome, and when the king steward sees my daughter, he says okay, and pays a deposit of three taels of silver first, and says that when the time comes, let Master Gao pass by, if it can be done, give us another fifty taels of silver; It's just that Master Gao doesn't like it, and he doesn't ask us to go back for these three taels of silver. ”

That one was very envious and said: "Oh, so I have long seen that your daughter is blessed......"

The other was humble at this time: "Not necessarily, I heard that I have to find a number of girls, and let Master Gao have a good time when the time comes." Rich people don't necessarily like my daughter......"

"Then I got three taels of silver for nothing......"

The two of them spoke farther and farther away, but Jiang Baoqing frowned and stopped, she finally understood why Mrs. Li and the Zhou family wanted to give her to Master Gao as a concubine.

There is still fifty taels of silver hanging behind the relationship.

However, there is something wrong with the posture of the king's steward casting a wide net to send the money out.

According to Mrs. Li's thoughts and Zhou's thoughts, this family business is the best, and there is no need to use these three taels of silver as a deposit to hook them to send people up, they will naturally hold them with both hands to "send them up".

This silver is a bit like being afraid that people won't take the bait.

The more Jiang Baoqing thought about it, the more wrong it became, she caught up with the two who were talking, and asked with a smile: "Two aunts, are you talking about Master Gao looking for a concubine?" ”

The two of them were stunned for a moment, looking Jiang Baoqing up and down, and one of them saw that Jiang Baoqing was handsome, and was very vigilant: "What are you asking for?" ”

Listening to the voice, it was the one who had a girl in the family who was chosen by the king's steward.

Jiang Baoqing deliberately showed a look of remorse: "I heard a few words from the two aunts just now, I feel uncomfortable, the two aunts don't know, I just got engaged to someone a few days ago, listening to the news, it's really ......"

When the girl in the family heard this, he was obviously relieved.

Although she thinks that her daughter is quite beautiful, compared with the little girl in front of her who seems to be able to get out of the water with a pinch, even if her mother's heart is biased to the edge of the sky, she has to admit that there are still some gaps. If this little girl has the heart to get involved in Master Gao's selection of concubines, I'm afraid it will be no one else's business.

Fortunately, he is already an engaged parent.

The female baby they have here, once they are engaged, is actually equivalent to someone else's family, and it is impossible to get involved in Master Gao's selection of concubines.

The one who has a girl is busy laughing: "Seeing that the little girl is born well, it should be good to think that she will come to her husband's house." This flat-headed people have their own benefits for the flat-headed people, not to mention the side, it is also the main room, and the waist pole is also straight...... Being a concubine for someone looks good, but when you get to the backyard of the deep house, that's suffering. ”

Jiang Baoqing smiled: "No, my family also told me so, let me get ready to get married...... It's just that I just listened to my aunt and gave a deposit of three taels of silver, this old man is still rich. ”

The one who has a daughter obviously already regards Master Gao as his son-in-law, and when he heard Jiang Baoqing praise him like this, he couldn't help but have a smug look between his eyebrows. However, she was also very cautious, for fear that Jiang Baoqing would see that she would become wealthy, and if she had any bad intentions......

She hurriedly said: "The little girl's family, since she is already engaged, why do you ask so much?" ”

The one next to him smiled at this time, obviously watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, and deliberately exaggerated on the side: "Oh, I said sister, don't be modest." At this time, we are well-informed, who doesn't know that Master Gao is rich. I don't have the money to choose a dozen girls to see each other at once. This is a lot of silver out of the city! My obedient man, a few dozen taels of silver, is enough for the days of our Zhuang family for many teenagers. Girl, tell me, can Master Gao have no money? ”

The one with the girl smiled a little awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Jiang Baoqing smiled at the woman who was smacking her mouth with an exaggerated expression and breaking the news: "This aunt knows so much." The seeming worship in the words made the woman who broke the news even more proud, as if she didn't open the door, and I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, and a long list of information poured out:

"Girl, don't say it, the king of the family has walked around several villages in the vicinity, and many handsome girls have been chosen. said that it was the morning of the eighteenth, oh, that is, the day after tomorrow, and it would be sent to the gate of the mountain temple in Liujia Village, and at that time, Master Gao would send several carriages to pull those girls to the county to see each other. ”

“…… I have heard that there is no one in the family of Master Gao, or this huge family business will have to be cheapened by other people in the family, so this used to be a concubine, who will have the next son, and the huge family business will basically be their mother and son. ”

“…… Don't rush to anything else, just rush to this, many people's daughters are sharpened and want to go inside! Girl, I saw that you were born handsome, so I said these words, but unfortunately you are an engaged ...... I'm really blind to your little fairy-like face. ”

After saying these few words, the face of the woman who was chosen by the girl next to her was almost blue.

Jiang Baoqing also got the information he wanted, and casually said a few perfunctory words, expressing his regret that he was married, and then turned around and left.

The moment he turned around, the smile that was originally on his face disappeared almost instantly, Jiang Baoqing frowned slightly, and he had an idea in his heart.

After Jiang Baoqing arrived home, he saw two more bundles of firewood in the yard, and he was a little stunned, and asked Jiang Yunshan: "Brother, did you go up the mountain to chop firewood?" ”

Jiang Yunshan shook his head: "It was sent by Brother Big Tiger, saying that you are a girl's family, and I am a scholar or something...... Brother Big Tiger put it down and ran, I can't stop it. ”

Jiang Baoqing nodded, thought for a while, and said, "This is also a kindness from Brother Big Tiger, I will go back to the forest to pick some fruits and send them to Brother Big Tiger, which is also a courtesy." ”

Jiang Yunshan said with a smile: "Then when you call me, I will go with you and carry out activities." The brother and sister talked and laughed, and entered the house together.
