Chapter Twenty-Eight: Marriage!
The conversation between Xin Zhi and Fan Zhongkui surprised Xin Zhong very much.
The purpose of coming to Fan's house today Xin Zhen didn't tell him, but he just said that there was something to come to Fan's house, and Xin Zhong didn't ask much, just like he didn't ask Xin Qiji what he wanted to do.
But he didn't expect Xin Zhi to come to talk about it.
A son tells his father about his family?
The head of the Fan family, a key person, also agreed?
Xin Zhong was actually a little skeptical in his heart, but seeing Xin Zhen's performance and Fan Zhongkui's response today, he already believed it a little.
He suddenly remembered what Xin Qiji said, 'His achievements may be greater than mine', Xin Zhong felt that this might be true, martial arts reading or something, Xin Zhi may not be better than Xin Qiji, but Xin Qiji was definitely not as good at dancing as Xin Zhi when he was a teenager.
And as an official, long-sleeved dancing is more important than reading and martial arts.
Compared with Xin Zhong, Fan Zhongkui has already experienced the magic of Xin Zhen, but it is not strange, and the matter of marrying a daughter has long been discussed between him and Fan Zhongshu, but he also learned about the Xin family's affairs at the time, so he also waited for some time, but he was actually a little impatient in his heart, and the arrival of Xin Zhi today made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Fan Zhongkui said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then without further ado, the world brother will worry about it more, after all, the little girl is also old, and it is not good to drag it out." ”
Xin Zhi nodded again and again: "That's that, this kid will advance as soon as possible, but there are still some difficulties......"
Xin Zhi looked a little hard to say.
Fan Zhongkui asked: "Brother Shi, let's talk about it, and the old man will see if there is anything he can help." ”
Xin Zhi said: "The Xin family has returned from the north, and all the property of the field house has been abandoned, and now the court is also in difficulty, and Yulu is in arrears for a long time, so ......"
Xin Zhong was also a little uneasy when he heard this, and looked at Xin Zhen, but saw that Xin Zhen had no intention of being embarrassed.
Fan Zhongkui understood: "It doesn't matter, the Fan family should give the needs of marriage, and the old man will give the little girl a large dowry at that time, so that the newlyweds have no worries about their lives." ”
Xin Zhi said happily: "This is very good, Fan family master, since you are so interesting, the kid also has to express it, the kid promised you, in the future, the Xin family's property will be inherited by the children born to Miss Fan, I Xin Zhi will not be touched by half a point, if the father is promoted, you can shadow the son, and I Xin Zhi will not be involved!" ”
Xin Zhong hurriedly said: "Xiaolang! ”
Fan Zhongkui was a little surprised this time: "Brother Shi, who are you?" ”
Xin Zhi said with a smile: "My father is a continuation of the string this time, I am afraid that Miss Fan is a little wronged, and the Xin family is even poorer, I am afraid that I want to wronged Miss Fan, but when it comes to family property, I, Xin Zhen, as a son of man, should not embarrass my father."
As the father of the Fan family, he naturally has to think about Miss Fan, this is just a trivial thing that the kid has done for his father. ”
Fan Zhongkui exclaimed: "Brother Shi is really broad-minded, and he is even more filial, and he is willing to make such a sacrifice for his father, which is really admirable." ”
Fan Zhongkui said words of admiration, but he did not dissuade Xin Zhen, in fact, he did have these concerns.
Although Xin Zhi is young, but the ability he shows is amazing, he is not sure that the children born to his daughter in the future can be better than Xin Zhen, so if he wants to compete with Xin Zhi for family property, it is just a fool's dream, and now that Xin Zhi is willing to quit, it is naturally very perfect.
After talking about things, the master and servant left the Fan family, Xin Zhong sighed and said: "Xiaolang, why do you have to be like this, if Da Lang knows, he will definitely feel guilty."
Moreover, you are the eldest son of Da Lang, these are what you deserve, why should you let them out. ”
Xin Zhi smiled and said: "It's okay to be a loyal lord, if I want to be an official, I will go to the scientific examination by myself, I want a farmhouse, so I can earn it with my own hands, there is so much wealth in the world, as long as I have a brain, why worry about not being able to earn money." ”
Xin Zhong praised Xin Zhen's ambition, but he still felt that there was no need for it.
At night, Xin Zhi and Xin Qiji talked about the marriage, and Xin Qiji agreed after a few considerations, after all, Xin Zhi was right, the family needs a woman, and the Xin family also needs to take root in the south, as far as the current Jiangyin is concerned, the Lu family is offended to death, so it is better to actively move closer to the Fan family.
The next day, Xin Qiji's father and son went to Zhao Zhongyan's house to talk about it, and asked Zhao Zhongyan to be a matchmaker, Zhao Zhongyan was also quite happy to hear this: "You'an, you should have mentioned this matter a long time ago, the old man thinks it's very appropriate, the daughter of the Fan family is said to be quite virtuous, if you marry him, Xin Zhi will not be left out in the cold, this is a good thing, and the old man will help you arrange this matter." ”
Sure enough, Zhao Zhongyan took the initiative to prepare various gifts for marriage, and brought Xin Zhi to the door to say that Zhao Zhongyan was out of the house, and the face of the Fan family was enough, Fan Zhongkui especially felt that there was light on his face, so he agreed on the spot.
The next thing is the matter of the Fan family, knowing that Xin Qiji has no relatives here, and no one can help him in organizing the wedding, Fan Zhongkui didn't ask much, so he helped to handle it, and before the New Year, Xin Qiji only came out alone, took Xin Zhi and Xin Zhong, and married Miss Fan in the house presented by Fan Zhongkui.
Fan Caiping brought ten domestic servants and slaves, ten head of cattle, two carriages, a number of cloth, a farm with 1,000 acres of land, plus more than a dozen tenants, as for the gold and silver, a total of 2,000 yuan, and a mansion for marriage, which is estimated to be tens of thousands of yuan.
Xin Zhen is also quite satisfied with this, Lao Fan can be a man.
However, this money belongs to Fan Caiping's dowry, Xin Zhi can eat at home, and it is estimated that he has a little pocket money every month, but if he really wants to spend a lot of money, he is estimated to be unable to get it, and Xin Zhi does not have the face to take it.
However, Fan Caiping, the stepmother, is not bad, she speaks kindly, and she is also quite concerned about Xin Zhen, but the old mother who brought her is guarding against Xin Zhen, and she is also guarding against Xin Zhong.
The domestic servants and slaves brought by Fan Caiping were all under the management of this old mother, although they were polite to Xin Zhi on their faces, but they were polite with alienation.
Xin Zhi laughed at it, he was not at home every day, he stayed with Zhao Zhongyan most of the time, and he didn't even go back to the mansion with Xin Zhong.
Zhao Zhongyan is quite happy, although there are many slaves, but he lives alone in this big house, after all, it is a little lonely, with Xin Zhen and Xin Zhong by his side, it is a lot more lively.
Zhao Zhongyan especially likes to chat with Xin Zhong, although Xin Zhong is nominally a slave, but the heroism and insight on his body, where can a slave have, especially in marching and fighting, Xin Zhong is even better at it, so he is quite speculative with Zhao Zhongyan.
