Chapter 513: So Be It (Two in One)
In Du Yuli, the eldest and second masters of the Du family are rare, and they are discussing with Old Lady Du and Du Zhexin about how to deal with Jiangnan. In the past two years, the Du family has declined, and now there is a rare thing that can enhance the status of the Du family, and everyone is very solemn.
Second Master Du was the first to speak: "...... When Zhexin recognized the girl and brought her back, didn't he see that she was the maid of the Du family opposite? Now that Young Master Qi has spoken again, he wants to ask for a name, which shows that the Du family still has affection for this girl. Zhao Gongzi, we can't get along, if we want to sell the face of the Du family and the Qi family opposite, it is better to give a wife's name. ”
The little abacus in his belly is very good.
If Du Zhexin marries a powerful wife of the Yue family, then the big house will get a boost, which will definitely be unfavorable to the second room, it is better to marry Jiangnan. Jiang Nan is a girl, poor and white, and she can't even afford decent clothes, let alone get married. When she entered the door, she couldn't straighten her waist pole, and she couldn't hold the shelf of the long house's daughter-in-law. When the time comes, among the grandchildren and daughters-in-law, it is naturally his daughter-in-law, that is, the second young grandmother is the largest, and the second room will have the upper hand.
Master Du stopped doing it as soon as he heard it: "I asked someone to inquire, these Jiangbei and Jiangnan brothers and sisters were originally bought from Qin Sanye." As a result, after two years of work, they had to go out, and they hadn't paid the ransom yet, which shows that the Du family has no good impression of them. And if you really have affection for them, shouldn't you just take this girl back and thank us again? No matter how bad it is, will you also fight for her the status of a wife? But listen to what Young Master Qi said, no matter whether you are a wife or concubine, you have to give a name. In other words, it doesn't matter whether they are wives or concubines. Is this a performance of valuation? ”
Seeing that Second Master Du opened his mouth to refute, Master Du didn't give him a chance to speak at all, so he turned his head and asked Du Zhexin: "I heard your mother say, that girl is very beautiful?" ”
Du Zhexin nodded.
At that time, he saw that Jiangnan was as beautiful as a fairy, so he told Zhao Gongzi that this was his maid and interceded for her. Thinking about it at this time, he still has palpitations. Why did he get blinded to lard? Fortunately, Zhao Gongzi didn't care about him in general. But this also shows that the red face is a curse!
Master Du got his son's affirmation, and continued: "A girl, but very beautiful, this is a disaster in itself. As a concubine, she is locked up at home all day, and she doesn't need to go out to socialize and move around with people, and it won't be a big deal. If she is a wife, there is a happy event in this neighborhood and relatives, and she, as the granddaughter-in-law of our chief house, has to come out to socialize, right? When the time comes, will it not cause great trouble for our family if it is seen as greedy? That's why I didn't agree to marry her. Anyway, the Qi Du family doesn't value her much, so it's okay to give her the name of a concubine. ”
Hearing this, Second Master Du also hesitated.
Du Zhexin grew up watching him. As the eldest grandson of the businessman, the two rooms are fighting fiercely, and Du Zhexin has always been good at doing things. Anyone who said that he was pitiful to Jiangnan at that time, and he helped her intercede in front of Zhao Gongzi with pity and pity, and he didn't believe it.
But the fact is that Du Zhexin took the big risk of being angry by Zhao Gongzi and interceded for Jiangnan, which shows that the girl's appearance must be very outstanding, so outstanding that Du Zhexin, who has always been mercenary, is also fascinated by beauty and impulsively does stupid things.
If this is the case, then Jiangnan really can't be a wife, only a concubine.
Although the big house and the second room are fighting fiercely, everyone is under one roof, and the interests of the general direction are the same.
But he still didn't believe it: "It's really so beautiful? If she is really beautiful enough to be in trouble, she will pounce on Zhao Gongzi, can Zhao Gongzi not be moved? Shall we bring it back? ”
The Du family did not know Zhao Chang's true identity, but this did not prevent them from inferring from Zhao Chang's accent and dress demeanor that he was from an extraordinary background.
"The noble son from the capital, what kind of woman has not been seen? People in our small place who think that they are unusually beautiful are just vulgar fans in the eyes of the noble sons, so they don't look down on them. Master Du said.
Old lady Du was silent all the time, and only then did she lift her eyelids and look at Du Zhexin: "What do you say, new brother?" ”
"Be a concubine." Du Zhexin said, "First, her appearance is indeed easy to do, and second, looking at her behavior, her heart is quite big, and her brain is not good." If I really want to marry her, I don't want to say how my two children will be treated by her, but if she is unwilling to live in our family, I don't know what moths will come out. It's better to be a concubine and keep it in a small courtyard. For the sake of the Qi Du family, let's not treat her badly in eating and drinking. ”
Old Lady Du nodded with satisfaction.
He, the eldest grandson, was finally not carried away by beauty.
"Then it's decided." He made a decision directly, "And in order to prevent more complications, let's get married tonight, lest she be unwilling to escape, let's not explain to Young Master Qi." ”
"Then the Du family and her brother, do you want to talk about it?" Du Zhexin hesitated.
Jiangnan is now a good family, not a maid. Although taking a concubine is not as troublesome as marrying a wife, it must be agreed by the family, otherwise Jiangbei can go to the yamen to sue them.
"Tell your mother to go and talk to Mrs. Du. As for Jiangbei, don't pay attention to it for now, there are people from the Qi family and the Du family to settle down. Old lady Du said.
Before he finished speaking, someone came to him: "A man named Jiangbei asked to see him, saying that his sister was in our house, and he asked us to return his sister to him quickly." ”
Everyone glanced at each other and looked at Old Lady Du.
Old lady Du immediately made a decision and instructed Du Zhexin: "You hurry up and go to that girl." As for how to do it, you don't need me to teach you, right? ”
Du Zhexin naturally knew what his grandfather meant, and nodded hurriedly: "Grandson knows what to do." With that, he got up and went to the backyard.
Old lady Du instructed everyone: "It's all gone, go back to the room and stay, don't walk around and ruin my big thing." As he spoke, he got up first and instructed the servant who came to report, "You bring him in, and call a woman to take him to the guest house." ”
"Yes."
So when Jiangbei came in with his subordinates, the hall was empty; Then I went to the guest house with my mother-in-law, and when I entered the courtyard, the courtyard was full of silence. When he called out loudly, he saw a door opened, and Du Zhexin came out of the room in disheveled clothes.
Jiangbei suddenly had a bad premonition, stepped forward and grabbed Du Zhexin's clothes, his eyes were about to split: "What about my sister?" What did you do to my sister? ”
Du Zhexin pushed him away: "I still want to ask you, what the hell are you brothers and sisters doing?" Your sister took an aphrodisiac and threw herself on Zhao Gongzi, if it weren't for me, she would have been killed on the spot. I kindly brought her back for treatment, and she ...... before Lang Zhong came" He had a look of shame on his face, as if he had been raped.
Jiangbei's brain exploded with a "buzz", and in a trance, he only heard Du Zhexin say: "I will be responsible for her." ”
"Who's responsible for your mother's shit?" Jiangbei roared angrily and was about to hit Du Zhexin. Du Zhexin had expected this, and the mother-in-law who led Jiangbei in, as well as the little maid standing next to him, immediately stopped Jiangbei.
"It's okay if you don't want me to be responsible, you can take her back." Du Zhexin's face sank, and when he turned around and ordered, his mother-in-law rushed into the room, took Jiang Nan out, and handed it to Jiang Bei.
Jiang Bei saw that Jiang Nan's eyes were closed, but his clothes were half-covered, and there were red marks on his neck and half-exposed chest, and he had been ravaged at a glance, his eyes were red, and he threw himself sideways towards Du Zhexin.
Du Zhexin hurriedly called someone to stop him, and said, "If you talk well, we can also sit down and talk about the issue of fame." If you hit someone at every turn, then you might as well just take her back. ”
Jiang Nan was stunned by Zhao Chang's palm, and after Du Zhexin took her back to the house, he let Lang Zhong know that she was okay after seeing it, and he was worried that she would wake up and make trouble, so he poured her with drugs, so she has not woken up yet. And he just hurried over, where does he have time to do things? It's just to deceive Jiangbei that he has never married, and let his mother-in-law make some traces on Jiangnan's body, pretending to be a fait accompli, and achieving his goal.
Jiangbei was really frightened and threw a rat bogey.
If my sister is really abused by Du Zhexin, I really can't find any other good way than to marry Du Zhexin. And from Jiangnan clamoring to redeem himself, and then to this incident, Jiangbei was exhausted by his sister during this time. Now that he has fallen to such an end, a boot has fallen to the ground, and in addition to a sense of powerlessness in Jiangbei's heart, there is also a feeling of "it is really so".
Perhaps, this is a good place for my sister to come.
Although the Du family is not a good family, Du Zhexin is not a good person either. But at least, the Du family has to look at Qi Muyuan and Du Jinning's faces. No matter what, they didn't dare to abuse Jiangnan. I want to come to Jiangnan in this home, and I will live in peace, and I won't toss anymore.
Seeing that he was moved, Du Zhexin hurriedly hit the snake with the stick, dragged him to the hall, persuaded him for a while, and put forward all kinds of difficulties and reasons: "Marry as a wife, run as a concubine." Your sister has come into my house in such a way, and I am going to marry her, how can I go out and face the world? This matter is absolutely non-negotiable. If you really think that being a concubine has wronged Sister Ling, please take her away now. ”
Jiangbei is not stupid, and knows how to pull up the tiger skin as a banner: "Although we have redeemed ourselves, we are the old servants of the Du family." In this matter, if your mansion does not agree, I will go to Young Master Du and Young Master Qi to make decisions for my brother and sister. He brushed his sleeves away.
After coming out, he went straight to the Du family on the opposite side and asked to see the Chen family.
Qi Muyuan acted carefully, and naturally expected that Jiangbei would go to the Du family to beg the Du family, and had already sent someone to explain the matter to the Chen family, and told the Chen family to push the matter on him.
So Chen said to Jiangbei in embarrassment: "If you are my slaves, what do we have to take care of." But in what name do we stand out for you? Even if I went to the door and made a scene, it wouldn't help. They are still the best people, we are just showing talents. Besides, Jin Ning is not at home, so I don't have an idea. ”
Helpless, Jiangbei went to the academy to see Du Jinning again.
Qi Muyuan came out directly and said to Jiang Bei: "What do you want Young Master Du to say?" Do you want him to rely on the momentum of our Qi family to force Du Zhexin to marry a maid as his wife? Spread the word, do I want the reputation of Young Master Du, my grandfather, and my father? Will someone else use this to impeach my father? Jiangbei, you can't be so selfish, we don't owe you. Du Zhexin is willing to give your sister the title of a concubine, or for the sake of me and Young Master Du's face. You don't want to get an inch. ”
Jiang Bei squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and muttered in his mouth: "How can this be? How so? ”
"The greed of your brother and sister can be thought of as having such a result. Jiangbei, don't think it's all someone else's fault. Do you dare to say that your sister said that she wanted to marry a good family, and when she said that she would take you to live a good life in the future, you were not impressed? You knew it was wrong for her to do that but you didn't stop it, but in fact, you have as much greed in your heart as your sister. ”
Jiangbei was at a loss when he said this: Is this really the case?
On the second day, the eldest young master of the Du family at the end of Hulu Lane, the old maid of the Du family in the alley as a concubine, held two tables of banquets at home, and Du Jinning's family sent a steward to send a congratulatory gift, and the matter was settled.
Zhao Chang did not send a congratulatory gift to Du Zhe's new home, but brought an apology gift, and when Du Jinning came out of the academy, he personally brought an apology gift to Du's house.
