Chapter 517: Taboo

"My uncle is far away in Chang'an, and because of the war in Dijon, the news of the carriage and horses is too slow, maybe I don't know what happened to the Shen family," Song Che said: "Last year, my father-in-law took in a daughter and married the prefect of Suzhou——"

"Really!" Liu Chen's eyes lit up in surprise, and the next moment turned gloomy: "That can only be good for your family business, brother-in-law, Suzhou Mansion is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, even if we want to climb this relationship, we can't do it." ”

"Can you let me finish my sentence?" Song Che said again: "This prefect of Suzhou has outstanding talents, and now he has been promoted to the prime minister of the dynasty, and he is above 10,000 people under one person." Let me ask, uncle, cousin, how is this relationship compared to Jingzhao Mansion? ”

"Really!" The father and son of the Liu family exclaimed in unison.

"Absolutely." In fact, with Song Che's current network, it only takes a letter to send Liu Chen to the office, but this straw bag is too poor, even if he is made an official, he will be a foolish official who eats empty salaries.

"Great, Dad! It turns out that our family also has a relative who is the prime minister, and now we can straighten our backs in Chang'an! The father and son were so excited that they almost hugged each other and cried.

Song Che sighed and persuaded: "Uncle, cousin, don't be too happy too early, this relative who is the prime minister has an upright temperament, if he knows that you are using his name to make profits, he will never think of family affection and spare you." Father Liu patted his chest and promised: "Virtuous nephew, you put a hundred hearts, we are businessmen, we know how to measure best, the prime minister is such a big official, just being famous is enough." Song Che asked: "Then the marriage between Xiang'er and Shi Erlang can also be postponed, right?" ”

"This ......" Father Liu was in a dilemma. Song Che frowned,

"What? Uncle still wants to marry the Shi family? ”

"No, no," Father Liu hurriedly said, "Your sister-in-law is ...... If the historian does not agree to withdraw from the marriage, according to the laws of Daliang, not only will he have to pay double the dowry, but he will also have to be punished with sixty rods, how can Xiang'er, a weak woman, withstand such a punishment? ”

"How much did you receive as a dowry?" Song Che asked. The father and son of the Liu family were embarrassed by each other, and Liu's father slowly spit out: "Thirty thousand taels...... "Thirty thousand taels!"

If the woman doesn't ask for so much dowry, the man will never give so much. Is it really selling a daughter?

These people from the Shen family are really the same. The second uncle, Shen Tong, spent 30,000 taels to marry his daughter-in-law, but was blackmailed.

Sister-in-law Shen E, now asks for 30,000 taels to marry her daughter, and she wants to return it all. Uncle Shen Fang is a fool, and cousin Liu Chen is a straw bag.

"Alas......" Father Liu sighed: "If it weren't for Dijon's invasion of the Central Plains last year and cutting off the logistics of the canal, our family would not be short of money, and the dowry would not be so much." ”

"Uncle doesn't have to blame himself, I'll help you go on a trip to get out of the marriage, there shouldn't be any accidents. And even if there is an accident, it is expected by me, and I can handle it easily. Song Che was full of confidence.

…… Night. Boudoir. Shen E stood at the locked door and persuaded her hard.

"Xiang'er, no matter what, you should also eat, don't let your mother worry." The food and tea that were sent were cold one after another.

She is so willful, how can she open the door?

"Did Xiang'er smash something?" Song Che came over with a food box and asked.

"Virtuous nephew, you're here, she just smashed it for a while, and there is no movement at this time, and she doesn't talk to her, will this child not be able to think about it?" Shen E was so anxious that she knocked on the door a few more times,

"Xiang'er, my mother won't force you to marry, open the door quickly!" Smashing something? Then it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"She's probably still angry with her sister-in-law, you might as well go down and rest first, I have my own way to let her eat well." Song Che persuaded.

Shen E sighed and had no choice but to leave. Song Che knocked on the door and asked softly, "Do you have to, haven't you eaten cake yet?" There was silence for a while, and then a crying voice was heard: "What, what is a cake?" Song Che smiled: "It's the best dessert in the world, only my brother-in-law and I will make it, and your sister will be uncomfortable if they don't eat it for a day." ”

"Really?"

"It's more real than pearls."

"Then, is my mother gone?"

"I drove you away."

"Far away?"

"Long gone."

"Huh-" Only then did she open a crack in the door, and a pair of big tearful eyes turned around twice to confirm that there was no one else, and then she pulled Song Che in.

It's a mess in the house. Song Che simply cleaned up a chair and lit a candle before taking out the cake in the food box, cutting a piece and handing it to Liu Xiang'er: "Try it." ”

"Brother-in-law, you ...... You won't put sweat medicine into it, stun me, and plot against me, right? ”

"......" The corners of Song Che's mouth twitched, and he smiled dryly: "If you don't say this, I really don't dare to treat you as Liu Xiang'er." She smiled, scooped a piece of cake with a small spoon and put it in her mouth, savored it for a moment, and the gloom in her eyes was swept away, so delicious that she almost trembled.

"Xiang'er, as long as you promise me, you will no longer go on a willful hunger strike, and you will no longer be angry with your parents, and tomorrow I will personally help you go to the Shi family to divorce."

"Really?" Liu Xiang'er's eyes widened, and then she said in frustration: "I don't know how many dowries she has received, if she openly regrets her marriage, not only will the Shi family not agree, but she will definitely be difficult." ”

"Then why do you guess why I grabbed the shop with Shi and Di today?" Song Che said with a smile. Liu Xiang'er thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Is it for me to withdraw from the marriage?" Song Che nodded,

"Yes, blatantly repenting of marriage, the fault lies with us, and the compensation should be deserved, Boss Lu's shop is regarded as an apology, if the Shi family is generous enough, it should not make it difficult for us."

"What if they're not generous?" Liu Xiang'er was faintly worried. Song Che smiled: "I can scare them to death with a snap of my fingers." Liu Xiang'er was silent for a moment, threw the spoon, and threw herself into Song Che's arms: "Brother-in-law, you are so good!" "Okay, the word.

Song Che is well-deserved. Even sometimes he really feels that he is omnipotent, from leading thousands of troops and horses to defend his family and country, to his wife and children, and coaxing the little girl to eat.

Worthy of the country, worthy of the family, worthy of the brothers. It's so much more than good, it's too good to be true.

"Brother-in-law, do you remember the promise we made when we parted in Luoyang last time?" Liu Xiang'er suddenly raised her head, full of affection.

Song Che raised his eyebrows and snorted: "Is there one?" Liu Xiang'er was very serious: "I said that I want to marry you when I grow up, and you should say yes." "After all, we still have to go around this topic.

Obviously, after the night of the accident, the girl had developed a different kind of affection for him, but it was unethical after all.

At least not in the eyes of a modern man. This kind of taboo is constantly interrupted, but it is chaotic.

"Xiang'er, I only have brother and sister affection for you, you will meet a better man in the future-"

"I don't want it!" Liu Xiang'er hugged Song Che tightly,

"I don't want to marry any man except my brother-in-law! Those days in Suzhou were the happiest time in my life, flying kites with Coco and Fu'er, playing mahjong with my sister and brother-in-law, and soaking in hot springs, that is the life that people should live, instead of being locked up at home every day, forcing me to marry this and marry that! ”

"Xiang'er, don't be ...... like this" Song Che hugged the girl in her arms, but she hugged her tighter and tighter, from sobbing, to sobbing, to crying.

How is this good?
