Chapter 117: The Xiang family comes to redeem people
Changbai didn't ask anything, and answered without hesitation: "I will definitely tell you the truth."
Changbai turned to leave, walked to the door and said in embarrassment: "The two cooks you want were intercepted by Li Shizi, the fish made by the cook during the dinner yesterday was very delicious, he said that Yan Gongzi must have found a cook for him, I asked him to keep one but he refused, and took them all away." He intercepted two boats of the goods you wanted, leaving only one boatload of rice that the second sister snatched first. All the goods brought by the Xuan family were wrapped up by Tang Ergongzi. “
"yes, got it."
Yu Jin knew that Xuan Suling was smart, she told Xuan Suling that she went to Wei to find her senior brother to do business, and in the end she came back from Wei without doing anything, and she must have a big business in her hands. If you don't take advantage of the time to marry Changqing, rob Yujin, when will you rob it.
Yu Jin went to the Xinglin Courtyard alone, and the things she was going to give to Jiang Yinian had already been packed into the box, which contained toys for small stones, books prepared by the master for Xiao Shi's enlightenment, arithmetic textbooks, a diary of the master recording Xiao Shi's growth, various mythological stories, comic books, etc. She had already copied everything she copied, and she had copied the comic books and gave them to Glory.
Yu Jin thought that her second brother's good future was indeed ruined in her hands, and she felt sorry in her heart. There is an iron mine in the coal mountain marked by the master, and the Xuan family has an iron workshop, and iron ore is the thing that the Xuan family values the most. She didn't think about trading iron ore with people, but now she can't go out and stay in her hands It's useless, and it depends on whether his Xuan family has the ability to get it from Wei Guo when she gives it to her second brother.
Changbai came over as promised, and Yu Jin sent someone to carry two large boxes, one of which was an unhandleable piece of jewelry obtained from Eagle's Beak Rock. She handed her eldest brother two envelopes, one with a dowry gift and the other with a congratulatory gift, all of which were fonts that Changbai had never seen Yu Jin use.
"Eldest sister, Shopkeeper Zhuo came to me just now, he wanted to settle down in Liang Guo, he took leave to go back and move the whole family over. Do you agree? “
"You hand over the box and the letter to the fourth prince of Xuan, he will return to the state of Chu immediately, you tell the shopkeeper Zhuo to go back with the fourth prince of Xuan to move, and when you come back, you can take our own boat, so that it will be faster."
"The fourth prince of Xuan came by himself, I have already brought the word to him, he said to rest assured, he will secretly find four loyal guards for Jiang Xiaowangye, bring your floating wealth back to the Chu State as a price, and give you a silver ticket to settle the settlement. If the matter leaks without your hands, he wipes his neck and apologizes. “
"If the eldest brother sees Yuchen hand over this design to him, my villa can start construction, let Dali and Xing Yin help supervise the construction, this is 20,000 taels of silver tickets, let Xing Yin build an account, he has studied for half a year, and he almost understands."
Changbai sent someone to carry the box away, and the fourth prince of Xuan first opened the bridal gift with a smile and took out a thin picture to watch, his face changed suddenly, and then opened the congratulatory gift and hurriedly said goodbye to return to Chu State.
Changbai asked him to bring Zhuo's shopkeeper, and the fourth prince of Xuan said hurriedly: "Let him go to the dock immediately, I don't have time to wait for him to grind, I have to go back to see my father quickly."
Changbai didn't know what was in the thin envelope, and seeing that the fourth prince of Xuan was anxious, he hurriedly sent someone to inform the shopkeeper Zhuo to go to the dock.
After dealing with Changqing and Jiang Yinian's affairs, Yu Jin no longer had anything to do and completely relaxed, she went out to see the peach blossoms every day, the peach blossoms fell to see the pear blossoms, landscape painting, flower and bird painting Yu Jin is not good at, she is now free, and began to practice painting different changes of peach blossoms, pear blossoms, and bamboo at various times.
Yu Jin was watching the scenery painting in the rockery pavilion, and Bai Zhao ran up and said: "Miss, the old lady of the Xiang family and the wife of the head of the Xiang family of General Pingxi came over and asked for the redemption of the Xiang account room and the Wang family, and the lady sent someone to inform you to go over and have a look."
Since Mrs. Wu took charge of the family with peace of mind, she rarely asked Yu Jin for help, and it seems that the Xiang family did not have good intentions. The Xiang family, the general of Pingxi, is from the Xiang Rong clan, why did they come to meddle in Xiang Rong's affairs at this time?
Yu Jin got off the rockery and walked quickly to Mrs. Wu's courtyard, Ah Xiu came over and handed Yu Jin a masked brocade, it seems that there is still a foreign man.
An old man's excited voice came from inside the house, "Wang, you are so bold, you dare to sell the son of the Xiang family as a slave, and now you dare to refuse to redeem you, are you not afraid of being expelled from the clan." “
"Wang, the old body doesn't know what happened to you, I just heard that you have a hard life and have no choice but to sell yourself into slavery. You can rest assured that your occupied family property promised to help you come back. I asked General Xiang to help remove Xiang Rong's identity as a descendant of sinners, and let him go back to study and participate in the scientific examination, do you think it's okay? “
Wang lowered his head and sat on the pestle silently, and Mrs. Xiang continued to persuade: "Your lord and the master of the Ji family should have a good relationship and make a marriage contract for their children, if it wasn't for the lord of the Ji family to come to fulfill the marriage contract, the old man would not care about this idle matter." Now that Miss Ji is here, Xiang Rong is not too young, he will never be willing to be a slave. Mrs. Wu said that when she bought you, she said that you can redeem yourself and leave as long as you want. “
Wang said resolutely: "The old lady is kind to the concubine, but my mother and son have lived in the alley for more than ten years, and even the dog is not as good, and no one is willing to take care of our mother and son several times.
Now you can find it as a slave, and you can inquire so clearly. Although the Wang family is a sinner, they also understand that when the water leaks from others, the spring reciprocates, and when the blizzard closes the door, it is the Yue family that makes us understand what respect and love are. The eldest lady was in charge of the house at that time, and all the subordinates could not only eat and dress warmly but also take a bath, and the snow was waist-deep. The concubine was sick, and when she saw the wind in winter, she was cold to her bone marrow, and she was in pain and couldn't sleep. So many people died of cold and starvation in the winter of that year, but the concubine did not get sick.
Why did my lord be greedy for ink and concubine soon after he took office, and I didn't want to mention it again, after the master's accident, I understood what the world is hot and cold. Dali's child is the descendant of my servants, when his parents died of illness, he was just seven or eight years old when he was running for our mother and son, how much he suffered for us, how tired he was, I knew in my heart that I could not let him be fed and clothed, let alone let him marry a daughter-in-law and have children. Now he is in charge of his wife, he is married, and he is about to have children of his own. Xiang Rong, this kid has been weak since he was a child, and he can't pick his shoulders and can't lift his hands, and when he enters the Yue Mansion is the general ledger room, no one shouts at him whether it is the master or the young master, no matter how much he sells, no one has ever checked him, and now the people in the mansion who have seen a disrespectful Mr. Xiang.
Our two sons were well fed and well dressed, respected, and there used to be people there who looked at us. I am now at peace of mind, living happily and feeling like a person. Come back, old lady! It's not that I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the Yue family is kind to our mother and son, I don't want people to poke my backbone and scold me for being an ungrateful villain. You don't have to think that we have lost the face of the Xiang family, since we sold ourselves to the Yue Mansion, how can a subordinate get his own surname. “
The patriarch's wife was furious, slapped her hand on the coffee table and shouted: "Wang, you are so bold, do you know the fate of disobeying your elders?" You..."
"Ahem" The old lady stopped the patriarch's wife's words, and she gently asked Xiang Rong, who had been bowing her head and being silent: "Xiang Rong, Miss Ji is here, don't you want to fulfill your father's wish and fulfill the marriage contract?"
Xiang Rong snorted and said with a chuckle: "If Miss Ji doesn't mind my identity, I'll be happy."
"But you can't make her a servant like you!"
Xiang Rong smiled proudly and said: "Why not, if she is willing to abide by the marriage contract of three obedience and four virtues, she should marry a chicken and a dog." I am a subordinate, and she is naturally a subordinate woman. “
"Xiang Lang, I'm not afraid that you are poor, why do you want to be cheap, don't forget that you were also an official son. As long as you are willing to redeem yourself and go back, we can get married immediately, even if it is to eat coarse food and wear cloth clothes, I have no regrets. Miss Ji finally couldn't hold back her tears and said with hazy eyes.
Xiang Rong smiled and said, "And then!" Our mother and son go back, looking forward to the moon in the mirror of your promise, let you pinch and flatten like a tanuki teasing a little mouse. If we really can't deceive our mother and son, you treat everyone else as fools, what is the purpose of your trip to sue people? Although Master Yue has just entered the capital, he is not a person at the mercy of others, Xiang Rongyan is all here, you can do it yourself. I don't want to redeem myself at the moment, my marriage is naturally decided by my wife, you have something to discuss with my wife, I still have accounts to deal with, and I will retire. “
Miss Ji whimpered, "Why did Xiang Lang insult me too much?"
Yu Jin heard a man's angry voice: "Xiang Rong is so bold, it's really a shameless and self-willed thing, and your grandmother has come forward to raise you and refuse to turn back, it's unreasonable." Grandmother, let's go back. “
Mrs. Wu nodded and said: "Xiang Accounts just go and get busy, you are from my Yue Mansion, as long as you don't want Mrs. Ben to be the emperor's own wife, not just anyone can be in my house and shout at my people." Rest assured about your marriage, I will surely satisfy you. Major General Xiang is so majestic, this is the backyard of Yue's Mansion, not your Xiang family's hall, and my family's subordinates can't take the turn of others to speak a lesson. “
Yu Jin stood outside the courtyard and listened with a smile, then turned to leave.
Zhenzhen entered the room and said angrily: "What's going on with this general's grandmother, I don't know what happened, I'm really confused."
Yu Jin smiled and said: "The neighbors of the Yue Mansion are not reliable, and if you want to inquire about things, you can't find anyone, so it is not easy to temporarily place people in the Yue Mansion." After the establishment of the Royal Martial Arts Academy of the Great Liang Kingdom, I heard that the Wuju people and Wujin scholars who signed up broke through the threshold, and some young Wenju people also wanted to put pen to paper, which means that there will be many new faces in the army in the future, and the general is not irreplaceable. Now the Xiang and Ji families are the most anxious, they were instigated to inquire about the affairs of our house, so they had to start with Xiang Rong, Xiang Rong holds the financial power of the house, and the details are the clearest. “
"There is no problem with our finances, they won't be so stupid to think that the old man is greedy for ink?"
