Chapter 184: Negotiation
As soon as Xu Shiqiu saw Jiang Han's expression, he roughly guessed what he was thinking.
Thinking of the shock he was when he first saw Sun Lao, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Old Sun, you haven't come out for too long." No, we were shocked to see you appear. ”
As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words came out, not only Jiang Han, but also Sun Lao and Yan Ye laughed.
"Shi Qiu, what you said makes some sense, the old man has indeed not come out for too long. But even if the old man can't come out, the old man's reputation is still there. After saying this to Xu Shiqiu, Sun Lao looked directly at Jiang Han, who still had a little smile on his face, and pointed at Yan Ye and said, "My junior has already told the old man about the matter, and it is his fault." ”
Hearing Sun Lao directly say the matter, Jiang Han's heart instantly let go of half of it.
As long as today, Sun Lao doesn't want to cover up this matter at will.
He was afraid that Sun Lao would rely on his identity and say that it was his fault.
Sun Lao looked at Jiang Han and just smiled and didn't speak, so he sighed and said directly: "His father and mother died early, and he has been raised by the old man for so many years. Now that something like this has happened, it is the old man who has not taught him well. Speaking of this, after Sun Lao glanced at Yan Ye, he continued helplessly to Jiang Han: "It's just that this kid is stubborn, and even the old man can't persuade him to come back. So the old man came with him today. I hope you will see the old man's face and let him go. ”
Jiang Han didn't understand what he didn't understand when he heard this, Sun Lao wanted to take things on himself.
But just with Sun Lao's reputation, he can't make any excessive requests.
Thinking of this, Jiang Han directly said his current situation, "Yanzhu is my cousin after all, and I have figured it out these days, even if she is not my wife, she is also my cousin." Speaking of this, Jiang Han squinted at Yan Ye, and after making sure that he really didn't know him, he continued: "Since I am the person my cousin likes, I, who is my cousin, should also try my best to fulfill it." It's just that now, my Jiang family is also difficult to protect itself. ”
Jiang Han didn't hide it, and after saying this, he told his uncle's family about pulling the Jiang family into it by the way in order to catch up with the third prince.
After saying this, Jiang Han mentioned the recent matter that the third prince wanted to ask him for silver.
"The Jiang family has been in business for generations, and there is a lot of silver, but I, Jiang Han, am not eyeless. Let my Jiang family take advantage of the family wealth accumulated over several generations for the sake of the three princes, but Han is unwilling. Speaking of this, Jiang Han glanced at Xu Shiqiu, and then continued: "Now I just want the Jiang family to get rid of the three princes, and when I reconcile with Yanzhu, not only can the dowry brought by Yanzhu be taken away, but I, who is a cousin, will also prepare another dowry for her." ”
Jiang Han said this clearly, and even said bluntly about the problems he had encountered recently.
The third prince wanted to win him over, but he didn't want to.
This is the Jiang family's current problem.
As for the dowry he promised to Xu Yanzhu, Xu Shiqiu and Yan Ye looked at each other and understood that if they could solve this matter this time, Jiang Han would give them a sum of silver in the name of giving Xu Yanzhu a dowry.
Although Xu Shiqiu doesn't have much silver, he is not short of silver.
As for Yan Ye, Xu Shiqiu estimated that he also had a lot of silver in his hand, after all, if there was an accident in the Prince's Mansion, since he could be rescued, he would definitely be able to bring a lot of silver out.
What's more, the Sun family doesn't look obvious, but the Sun family has a lot of land, and they don't have to pay taxes, so they don't lack silver.
However, if Yan Ye really has that thought, the more money the better.
Xu Shiqiu had tried it a few times before, and Yan Ye said that he didn't have that mind, but whether he had it or not, Xu Shiqiu didn't dare to guarantee it.
The other one who lacks money is his brother-in-law.
The brother-in-law is definitely short of silver, even if his sister's dowry was a lot at the beginning, and the Zhang family also had silver, but if he wants to sit on that place, sometimes he needs to spend some silver.
So this will, Xu Shiqiu did not speak.
Xu Shiqiu didn't speak, and Jiang Han didn't open his mouth after saying this, just waiting for Yan Ye to speak.
After hearing Jiang Han's words, Sun Lao felt that although Jiang Han was a little calculating, he was a qualified businessman, and most importantly, he still had good eyesight.
Yan Ye could sense that everyone was waiting for him to speak, he only thought for a moment, and then said bluntly: "Dowry is a woman's confidence. In the future, it will be left to the children born to women, and I will not be able to covet a woman's dowry. ”
Although Yan Ye's words are not straightforward enough, it also shows that he will not covet Xu Yanzhu's dowry.
Although Jiang Han didn't know what Yan Ye's identity was, just from the fact that Sun Lao came in person, and the eyes that Xu Shiqiu looked at Yan Ye just now, he also guessed that Yan Ye's identity was not simple.
At least, it won't be as simple as grandchildren's grandsons.
What's more, Jiang Han doesn't want to guess anymore, what if he guesses?
The most important thing for him now is to keep the Jiang family's family business.
With Yan Ye's words, when Sun Lao looked at Jiang Han again, his eyes were more gentle than before, "Don't worry, Yanzhu will be the granddaughter of the old man in the future, and with the old man's protection, no one dares to bully her." After saying this, Sun Lao didn't care about the looks of several people, and continued: "You are not young anymore, although you keep filial piety, but in the end, you still have to pay close attention to the inheritance. In the future, if you have a son who can read, send someone directly to the Sun family, and if the old man is still alive at that time, you will teach him personally. If the old man does not live to that time, he will be taught by the old man's eldest son himself. ”
As soon as Old Sun's words came out, Jiang Han was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
It is not easy for the Jiang family to change their court, and at least one merchant has a bad reputation.
But if his son can study with the Sun family in the future, even if he can't participate in the scientific examination, the people he will know in the future will definitely be more than just a businessman.
The most important thing is to become a disciple of the Sun family, even if he is just a merchant in the future, no one will look down on him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Han's heart became completely hot.
The Sun family is a great Confucian family that is famous for two dynasties, and that family can read!
Jiang Han's joy was too obvious, and seeing him so happy, Sun Lao also laughed.
Since he promised the Xu family and the Jiang family, if they send their children in the future, his Sun family will definitely teach them carefully.
The Sun family can't promise other things, but they can teach the two children to read, but they dare to promise.
After Jiang Han calmed down, he saw that Sun Lao, Xu Shiqiu and Yan Ye were all looking at him, this time, he was a little shy, and after coughing embarrassedly, he said to Xu Shiqiu and Sun Lao: "In a few days, it will be the 100 days of the Jiang family's filial piety, and then Shi Han will explain to the public that he was only forced to marry his cousin." Over the past year, Han has always kept the etiquette. ”
As for whether anyone believes this, Jiang Han thinks that there are still people who will believe it.
At least he and Xu Yanzhu lived in separate yards before, and Xu Yanzhu went out before August, and it was still a matter of his daughter's body, so he must not be able to hide it from the sharp-eyed woman.
As for after August, Yanzhu has few opportunities to go out, and when she goes out, she also goes to the Xu family, as long as the Xu family doesn't say anything, it will definitely be hidden.
It's just that......
Thinking that this matter might be used by people with intentions, such as the three princes, Jiang Han said bluntly: "It's just that now that the Jiang family is being targeted by the three princes, I am afraid that the three princes will make a big deal about it at that time." ”
To put it bluntly, the Jiang family is just a businessman, if Xu Yanzhu is not the daughter of the Xu family, he and Xu Yanzhu will not attract the attention of others.
But Xu Yanzhu is the daughter of the Xu family, and now Xu Shiqiu is in the limelight, and there must be a lot of people staring at the Xu family, so it is really impossible to say what will happen when the time comes.
Xu Shiqiu listened to Jiang Han's words, and after glancing at Yan Ye, he said directly: "I'm afraid that the third prince won't have time to come to you for a while, if you want to do something, do it as soon as possible." As for other things, don't worry, you are Yanzhu's cousin, and you are also my junior, I will keep an eye on it. ”
With Xu Shiqiu's words, Jiang Han can be regarded as relieved.
Xu Shiqiu, Yan Ye and Sun Lao did not stay in the Jiang family for a long time, and after saying the matter, several people left separately.
As for going to see Xu Yanzhu, no one mentioned it tonight, since he had already agreed with Jiang Han, he should be trusted, and there was no need to worry that Xu Yanzhu would have another accident if he stayed in the Jiang family.
Jiang Han is indeed a trustworthy person, he just negotiated with Xu Shiqiu here, and immediately went to see Xu Yanzhu in person and told him his arrangements.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Han looked at Xu Yanzhu, who was leaning on the bed with a little smile on his face, and said: "The most important thing for my cousin now is to take care of your body, listen to the tone of the third uncle, and when you leave the Jiang family, I am afraid that you will be sent to other places." ”
Xu Yanzhu will be in a very good mood, and as for going to other places, Xu Yanzhu also understands why.
After he and Jiang Han reconciled, it would definitely be difficult for him to continue to stay in Beijing, at least for a few years, he would definitely not be able to come back.
But thinking that she could be with Yan Ye openly in the future, she was still happy.
"Thank you, cousin." Xu Yanzhu sincerely thanked Jiang Han, after all, he was sorry for him.
In the past, Jiang Han listened to Xu Yanzhu's words, and he was mostly silent, but today he shook his head and said: "I also got benefits today, so although you were sorry for me at the beginning, I didn't suffer a loss." After saying this, Jiang Han sighed and continued: "What's more, I also understand that if you marry me, you have been wronged. ”
He Jiang Han is not only a businessman, but also has married two wives before.
Although the second room of the Xu family, where my cousin is located, is not as good as the long room and the third room, the Xu family is still there, if it weren't for my aunt, I wouldn't have been able to marry her.
If she hadn't married her last year, she would have happily married the man she saw today this year.
After thinking about this, Jiang Han left Xu Yanzhu's place, and even the servant woman who was guarding outside was taken away directly, and handed over the courtyard inside and outside to Xu Yanzhu's people.
After Cuihua took a look outside, she immediately came back and told Xu Yanzhu about it.
When Xu Yanzhu heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This matter can finally be solved." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu looked at Cuihua and said reluctantly: "Cuihua, if I leave the capital, you will go back to the third aunt." ”
Cuihua still has two monthly orders, one is given by Dong Shu, and the other is given by Xu Yanzhu.
Xu Yanzhu had told Dong Shu about the day when Cuihua would go back, but during this time, something like this happened to her, so she kept Cuihua by her side.
But thinking that she was going to leave the capital for a distant place in the near future, she was a little reluctant to Cuihua.
Cuihua accompanied her through the most difficult days in the Jiang family, and this friendship will not change just because she has someone else to serve her.
As soon as Cuihua heard Xu Yanzhu's words, she lowered her head and thought for a moment, then finally looked at Xu Yanzhu and said, "Big girl, Cuihua wants to accompany you to the field for a few more months, at least until you give birth safely, Cuihua can rest assured." After saying this, Cuihua thought for a moment and continued: "As for Madame, she will definitely agree. ”
Xu Yanzhu was also very moved when she heard Cuihua's words, although the two of them served well, but Cuihua was different, she represented her mother's family's concern for herself.
Thinking of this, Xu Yanzhu nodded and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, when I have the opportunity, I will personally ask the third aunt." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu yawned and prepared to sleep.
At this time, Jiang Han was already carefully arranging how to spread the rumors next and pave the way for himself and Xu Yanzhu to reconcile.
As for Xu Shiqiu, he also returned home and sent a message to Ye Jingxing, his brother-in-law, overnight.
After delivering the news, Xu Shiqiu looked at the night sky outside the window and whispered: "Tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful." ”
