Chapter 271: If You Don't Marry, You Have to Marry
Yongcheng is in the northwest of Jin and Chao, which belongs to Seogyeongju, but it is not on the border. Far away from the capital, and not afraid of the Tartars, several of the old man's cronies are in power there......
It was indeed a good place, and the old man really took great pains for those two. Of course, Zheng Ji also looks at people.
Jiang Yixi didn't speak, and listened silently.
For ordinary girls, Jiang Chang has good conditions in all aspects, tall figure, honest personality, generous and kind parents, and a family with modest assets......
However, Meng Hua is the daughter of Cheng Guogong and the granddaughter of the Taishi, and her eyes were above the top before, and she looked at the young talents in the wealthy families.
really wants to marry such a man, the gap can be imagined, can Meng Hua be willing?
Meng Hua is different from Meng Ciyu, the old man will not force her to live in that place and marry that man.
The old man went to Fu'an Hall, called Meng Hua over, and talked about Jiang Chang's situation with the old lady.
Meng Hua immediately expressed his willingness. It is said that Meng Hua cried all night after returning to Dan Hospital. This is burying all the good wishes and expectations of the past, right?
After Jiang Yixi heard about it, he also had to admire that girl. She didn't feel like she had been born again once, and she had seen everything through. She is only fifteen years old, and she has been pampered before, and it is not easy to get to this point, and she is much more responsible than her father and brother.
It was a secret for their brother and sister to go to Yongcheng, and they couldn't bring too many things from the capital. In the past, the fields in the Fu family's dowry had to be converted into gold and silver, and the brothers and sisters were each half. Leave part of it in their hands, and the other part will be in the Yongcheng area.
The Meng family will also give Meng Hua 20,000 taels of silver, which is the dowry given to her by the Meng family. and gave Meng Ciyu 50,000 taels of silver, including 20,000 taels of dowry silver and 30,000 taels of silver.
The old man was worried that Meng Ciyu was uncertain, and the 50,000 taels of silver given by the Meng family would not be handed over to him for the time being, but would be kept jointly by the second master and Meng Cimo, and he would be given after he was qualitated or thirty years old.
The wind released is that the old man is asking someone to bring Meng Hua to find someone in his hometown of Shaanxi, maybe Meng Ciyu will also return to his hometown.
Jiang Yixi was busy collecting money for the brother and sister, and in a blink of an eye, it was the beginning of winter.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the old man received a reply and token from Mr. Liu. Liu Zongbing agreed to marry his daughter Liu Tian to Meng Daoming, and Liu Tian was also very willing.
Liu Tian only put forward one condition, that is, to bring his twelve-year-old daughter Niu Xiu to live with the Meng family, and marry her in the capital in the future.
The old man did not have any objection to this, and he took the letter and tokens to Fu'an Hall.
The house on the east side of Fu'an Hall is lively, except for Meng Hua who didn't come, other female dependents are here to have fun.
The old man gave the letter to the old lady, and the old lady knew that the old man had told her eldest son a family affair without telling her.
Although the old lady had never seen Liu Tian, she had seen Liu Zongbing and his wife, and said, "Liu Zongbing and his family are both black and strong, and his daughters are ...... It's still that old. The eldest child has a special hobby, can he be willing? Don't hurt Liu. ”
At the beginning, Meng Daoming heard that the girl of the Qu family was good-looking, and pestered his mother to go to the Qu family every day to say goodbye. The old lady was reluctant and felt that the Qu family had a low door. Later, the eldest girl of the Qu family became the prince Liangyuan, and the old lady was even more reluctant, because the old prince did not allow his children and grandchildren to occupy the team.
Meng Daoming used "I want to go to the battlefield" to get the old lady to agree. Later, he was bewitched by Fairy Fu and left behind the Qu clan that he had so hard to ask for.
Now let him marry a woman who is not good-looking, can he be willing?
The old man said with a heavy face, "The parents are in charge of the marriage event, and he has to marry if he doesn't marry." If you dare to be a demon again, see how I clean him up. Hmph, Liu is not a weak Qu ......"
The juniors couldn't listen anymore, so they got up and went to the hall.
Jiang Yixi could see that except for Meng Ciling, Meng Zhao'an, and Xiao Cuncun, everyone else was excited to watch the excitement, and listened carefully to the movements in the side room.
She is secretly happy, and Xie Daoming's personal relationship can be seen in general.
Not long after, Cheng Guogong and the second master came back to see that the female dependents and children were all staying in the hall, and they were stunned.
The second master asked, "Why didn't you go into the house to serve your father and mother?" ”
The second lady glanced at Cheng Guogong and smiled at the second master, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are discussing important matters, and we ......."
Cheng Guogong and the second master heard this, and hurriedly went to the side room.
After a while, I heard Cheng Guogong's loud voice, "Dad, Liu Da Camel's daughter, I won't marry ......"
With a crisp porcelain sound, the old man smashed the teacup and shouted, "You dare to ......"
Meng Ciling was so frightened that tears came out, and he didn't dare to speak. Meng Zhaoan was also so frightened that he clung to the clothes of the second grandmother.
The second lady got up and led everyone to the west side room.
After a while, the second master came over and asked them to go back to their yard for dinner, and the two of them accompanied the old couple.
On the way, the second grandmother whispered to Jiang Yixi, "Sister-in-law, do you think the eldest uncle will marry that person?" ”
It stands to reason that Jiang Yixi should say "I don't know", after all, Chengguo Gong is her father-in-law.
But Jiang Yixi just said, "In our family, who can disobey my grandfather's wishes?" ”
The second grandmother pursed her lips and smiled, "I think so, too." Hehe, the eldest uncle is blessed, one is beautiful, the other is full of charm, and now there is another ......"
I felt that I had said something I shouldn't have said, and I blushed and stopped my mouth.
The next morning, the juniors went to Fu'an Hall to ask for peace.
The old lady looked sad, but still said to Jiang Yixi, "We want to invite the matchmaker to go to Wucheng to say goodbye." Prepare a generous gift to send to Liu's in-laws. ”
Jiang Yixi asked, "Are you prepared according to the usual practice?" ”
The old lady said, "What the old man means is to thicken it by another fifty percent." Also, pick up the main courtyard, except for the furniture brought by the Liu family in the upper room, the furnishings in the other rooms should be as atmospheric as possible, and don't adjust the tone when Fu is there. In addition, clean up a yard for the little girl to live in. Hurry up, what my husband means is that when Fu has been dead for a year, your father-in-law will marry Liu in June next year. ”
Jiang Yi regretted slander, and he had to prepare for Meng Daoming's marriage. But he had to nod yes.
The news that Chengguo Gong was going to marry the daughter of Wucheng Liu Zongbing immediately spread in the Chengguo Mansion.
In the Liudan Courtyard, Mama Li cautiously told Meng Hua what she said.
He also persuaded, "Don't be sad for girls, men are like this." ”
Meng Hua shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't miss my father anymore. At that time, when he married my mother, Qu had just died for a year. He hates my mother to death, and he still looks at him and remembers that love? ”
Mama Li said again, "I heard that the man is as powerful as an ox, and the grandfather of the country is unwilling, and the old man is forced to marry him." ”
"Whether he wants it or not, in a few months, there will be no Meng Hua in this world. You also detain the people in our yard, no matter what others say, our people don't go out and talk too much. ”
