Chapter 187: Two hundred and forty taels of silver
Xu Zipei's face instantly became ugly, and she turned her head to look at the brocade clothes next to her, with a strange expression.
Jinyi stood quietly beside Meijing, didn't look up at them, only pinched her hands and trembled slightly, and didn't know if she was angry or afraid. Meijing was distressed, and couldn't help but reach out and take her hand and hold it in the palm of her hand.
She was clearly wearing very thick clothes, but her hands were cold, and her heart was uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhao's eyes flickered for a while, and he was also a little surprised, probably because he didn't expect that the dignified Yan Wang Ye would speak for a slave, and in front of the Xu family, he couldn't get off the stage.
"Jinyi's kindness to the next has always been remembered." After a long time, he reluctantly said: "But now the situation is different, I can't marry a maid to be the main room, right?" promised to marry her, then you can also set up a main room first, and then fulfill your promise. ”
Shen Meijing's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that there were such brazen people in this world. When I was studying hard for the money of Hua Jinyi, why didn't you say that I was a soft eater? Now that he has fame, he begins to dislike Jinyi as just a maid? All the books have been read in the dog's belly, right?!
Song Liangchen was also a little angry, although his expression was still calm: "What do you mean, let Jinyi be a concubine?" ”
Zhang Zhaozheng wanted to nod, but Xu Zipei next to him stopped doing it: "Only then did you have a marriage with me and you want to take a concubine?" ”
"Fifth Miss is angry." Zhang Zhao looked at her with a sad face and said: "After all, Jinyi is the benefactor of the next, and he can't be ungrateful in the next, and if he agrees to marry her, he should do it." ”
"I don't follow!" Xu Zipei was anxious: "If you want a maid to enter your door at the same time as Miss Ben, what position do you put in the Xu family?" ”
Zhang Zhao was a little embarrassed, looked at Jinyi, then at Xu Chongshan, frowned and was silent.
Xu Chongshan thought for a while and said, "Since you have an appointment with the girl in brocade, why not marry together?" Zipei, you should be sensible, and you can't embarrass your future husband. ”
"I ......" Xu Zipei gritted her teeth, a good marriage, such a good thing as recruiting a champion to be her son-in-law made her very happy, but why did a maid appear out of thin air to rob her of a man?
It turned out to be Shen Meijing's personal maid, she did it on purpose, right?!
Jingjing watched them sing here for a long time with cold eyes, and looked at Zhang Zhao quietly: "What you promised was to marry Jinyi as a concubine?" ”
Jinyi lowered his eyes and didn't say a word, just the hand in the palm of Jingjing's hand, which couldn't be warmed.
It's all her fault for being cheap, seeing that he wears less clothes, she will take the initiative to buy clothes for him, and when she sees that he doesn't eat well, she will take the initiative to cook for him and give him silver, as long as he shows that he wants something, she will buy it for him without saying a word, and take care of everything for him, but she doesn't want to see him unhappy.
She paid without regrets at that time, and when others said that he ate soft rice, she would even help refute it. Looking back now, I was pitifully stupid.
He didn't think about it at all, but felt more and more that her contribution was deserved, and if he didn't satisfy him one day, he would be angry with her. She was addicted to this love scene since she was born, and she was addicted to the beautiful fantasy he said, "When I am in high school, I will welcome you as my wife", Yushi scolded her more than once, and she was reluctant to stop.
It's her mistake, the way she loves a man shouldn't be like this, she likes him as a future father-in-law, she shouldn't be pampered as a son, she should make him something she can rely on, instead of blindly trying to rely on him.
By the time she understood this, it was too late, and now, the man who grew up with her childhood sweetheart and spent an unknown amount of money on her said that he would marry her as a concubine and fulfill his promise.
What a ridiculous promise!
After Shen Meijing asked that sentence, Zhang Zhao became angry instead: "Princess Yan, what is this matter with Jinyi, you don't have to meddle so much, right?" Jinyi didn't object, let her and Miss Five enter the door at the same time, it was already a mistreatment of Miss Five, and you still want to go too far to let Miss Five be concubines? ”
She's excessive? Meijing laughed angrily, and immediately wanted to get up and slap him. This is the first time she has the urge to hit someone directly, and she almost wants to beat this beast all over the ground to find teeth!
But the hand on the arm of the chair was pressed, and she glared at it, and saw Song Liangchen shaking his head lightly and looking at Jinyi.
Zhang Zhao is right, Jinyi didn't object, what was she so excited about?
Xu Zipei also looked at Jinyi, and asked with contempt in her tone: "The girl in Jinyi also thinks that Miss Ben should be subordinate to you as a concubine?" ”
"Nope."
After a long time, Jin Yi spoke: "Fifth Miss has a noble status, and she should be Zhang Zhuangyuan's wife." ”
Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Jinyi with gratitude in his eyes, but the latter did not look back at him, but just lowered his eyes and continued: "In the past ten years, the palace has enclosed slaves and maids for food and housing, and the wages of twenty-four taels of silver per year, and the slaves and maids have not wasted a penny, and they have all been used on Zhang Zhuangyuan. Ten years a total of two hundred and forty taels of silver, your mansion should not lack this money, return to the slave maid, the slave maid will wish Zhang Zhuangyuan and Miss Five, a hundred years together. ”
Everyone was stunned, and Zhang Zhao's face instantly darkened: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"It's not interesting." Jinyi raised his head and his expression was extremely calm: "Zhang Zhuangyuan returned the slave and maid's silver, and the slave and maid will marry at will, and the slave and maid will choose another husband, and they don't want to wait for ten years to wait for a concubine's position." ”
Meijing looked at Jinyi in surprise, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and couldn't help but whisper hello! She really deserves to be a first-class maid in Yanwangfu, with backbone! She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, and she was willing to be a concubine!
Xu Zipei stood up, approached the front of Jinyi, and even squeezed her back a step, and sneered: "What a big breath, you said that it cost two hundred and forty taels, who can testify?" Then I also said that I spent a thousand taels on Zhang Lang, can I also go back? Isn't it just unwilling to be a concubine? Why bother with such nonsense? ”
Shen Meijing couldn't help but stand up, blocked in front of Jinyi, and looked down directly at Xu Zipei: "Fifth Miss, is this going to use your identity to suppress people?" ”
Not to mention identity, even if she is tall, she is a waste!
Xu Zipei took a step back, and her confidence was a lot less: "I said that this is our business, why do you want to interfere, Princess Yan?" ”
Song Liangchen didn't stop the beautiful scenery this time, and even bowed his head lightly to her, to the effect that how happy you are to come, this king is behind you to support you!
With his eyes, Meijing smiled, looked back at Xu Zipei and said, "If Jinyi is willing to continue to marry Zhang Zhuangyuan today, then it is indeed your business, I can't care about it." But didn't you hear? She doesn't want to get married, so she's still mine! Zhang Zhuangyuan owes me money, you help to get ahead, then Miss Five will help pay it back. ”
Two hundred and forty taels is not a small amount, and Xu Chongshan's annual salary is only two hundred taels a year, let alone something that Xu Zipei can afford.
Xu Zipei glanced at Xu Chongshan in a bit of a panic.
Xu Chongshan hurriedly came out to play a round: "The princess is angry, and the girl in brocade is also a little restless, this silver... If the girl in brocade really doesn't want to marry Zhang Zhuangyuan, then Xu Fu will pay him back, and then the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with each other, how about it? ”
"Okay." Jinyi nodded: "Thank you, Lord Xu." ”
"Father!" Xu Zipei pulled his sleeve: "You really want to give it to her what you do, it's just a maid......"
Xu Chongshan glared back at her, he simply hated iron and steel. What happened to the maid? Didn't you see King Yan and the princess sitting next to them? It's stupid to dare to argue!
was glared at honestly by this glance, and Xu Zipei didn't speak again. Xu Chongshan kept smiling, looked at King Yan and said, "What does the prince think?" ”
King Yan smiled: "This is not bad." ”
"Okay, the old man immediately asked the account office to bring the silver and return it to the girl in brocade in front of the prince and princess."
The slave ran to get the silver, and Zhang Zhao looked at the brocade with an incredulous expression.
Would she be willing not to marry him? Are you angry?
has been loved for so long, Zhang Zhao has always felt that Jinyi is the kind of girl who will run over very happily when she beckons, but she didn't expect such a play to be staged today, and she immediately felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Jinyi didn't look at him, staring at the ground quietly, with no expression on his face.
The silver was brought, but she didn't count it, and handed it directly to Meijing: "The princess will keep it for the slave and maid, it's too much." ”
"Okay." Meijing took it, got up and was about to leave, but saw Jinyi stumbling, I don't know if it was because of a knee injury after standing for a long time.
hurriedly helped her.
Zhang Zhao also moved subconsciously, but his eyes were complicated, looking at the back of Jinyi, he was a little unwilling and a little lost.
"Facing the wind." Song Liangchen called: "Take your brocade clothes back, her knees still hurt." ”
Lin Feng, who was standing next to him, couldn't help it for a long time, and when he heard what his master said, he immediately went up and picked up the brocade clothes horizontally, and strode out.
Jinyi was startled and looked at him blankly.
Lin Feng made a calm face and said angrily: "I told you a long time ago, what's so good about that kind of man who can't even hug you when he can't help but be windy?" ”
Jinyi was stunned, and the tears that had been suppressed suddenly couldn't be helped, buried in his arms, and suppressed the tears.
Linfeng's steps were faster, and the people behind him didn't see anything, but they heard him say this, and then they walked away with their brocade clothes in their arms.
The people in the flower hall looked stupid, Zhang Zhao's face was particularly ugly, swept away the loss of Fang Cai, squinted his eyes and said: "No wonder you want silver, it turns out that there is a concubine." ”
Jingjing paused when she heard this, grinding her teeth and wanting to scold, but her waist was held by Song Liangchen and she walked forward.
"It's useless to scold such people." He said, "If you really hate him, leave it to me." ”
It's just a champion, who said that the champion will definitely be able to become a big official in the future?
"Please be sure to teach him a good lesson." Meijing clenched her fists angrily: "This kind of person is not worthy of being an official in the court at all!" ”
