Chapter 10: Where Did You Get a Thousand Taels?
Liang Xiao looked at Nangong Lei, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, on the carriage, and wondered in his heart.
This old man in brocade robe, sitting in the car, was not angry and arrogant, but he was so strange to him.
"Where is Liang Xiao?"
The guard's shouting made Liang Xiao wonder: "Hasn't Lin Duan told the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion yet?" ”
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Liang Xiao replied, "It's me." ”
Nangong Lei got out of the carriage and came to Liang Xiao with a smile on his face.
"What a Liang family boy!"
The snickering laughter of onlookers suddenly sounded around, but these words were so harsh to Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Seeing the smile, the Marquis of Zhenyuan is here, and the flowers are shining, do you want to go into the cold house for a while?" ”
"No need!" Nangong Lei refused.
Liang Xiao then said: "Didn't the people entrusted by the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion reply to you?" ”
Nangong Lei looked at Liang Xiao and praised: "Replied, the virtuous nephew is still knowledgeable, Benhou and Ling Zun set a doll kiss for you and the little girl back then." But the world is unpredictable, you know! The little girl knows that she is not worthy of you, and she really can't bear to delay your future......"
There was a burst of laughter.
Jiang Fuxue blushed and was about to speak, but Liang Xiao patted her shoulder, so she had to be silent, but a mist had already appeared in her eyes.
This Nangong Lei said this kind of thing in front of everyone, it was obviously ironic about her brother!
Liang Xiao chuckled and said, "What Marquis Zhenyuan said is true, Ling Yan has indeed delayed my Liang Xiao's future. ”
The audience was in an uproar!
Even Nangong Lei was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Since the virtuous nephew knows that the two families are already not in the right household, why do you have to come to the house again and again to disturb the little girl?" ”
Liang Xiao replied: "I went to get out of the marriage, but who knows that you have been avoiding it." ”
Everyone was stunned again!
Liang Xiao looked at Nangong Lei, who had an unexpected face, and seemed to be smiling.
"It's your Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion who has repeatedly closed the door to thank guests, but you just refuse to see me and make it clear. Don't the Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion even understand this basic etiquette? Besides, my Liang family was prosperous back then, but your honorable person proposed it on your own initiative, and you wrote it clearly in the marriage book. ”
Nangong Lei's face became more and more ugly, and he defended: "It's because Benhou was unwell some time ago......
Liang Xiao said: "Even if I am not feeling well, can't I let other people talk to me in the past two years?" Even if my Liang Xiao failed in business, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but there were rumors flying all over the place, saying that I was cowardly, cruel and unkind, and there was no one in my eyes? ”
"It turns out that this Liang Xiao has long wanted to withdraw from the marriage? I thought I was divorced! ”
The audience seemed to understand something, and finally began to discuss, but due to the power of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, they could only whisper.
Nangong Lei was speechless by Liang Xiao's words, and his face was blue and white for a while.
He originally planned to put pressure on Liang Xiao to return the marriage certificate in public.
In other words, in the face of such a town marquis as him, he should have nodded and returned the marriage book, this kid is not humble or arrogant?
"The Great Zhou has always paid attention to etiquette, and my Liang Xiao family is in the middle of the road, and I still keep the etiquette in mind. Your Excellency went to my Liang family and begged me to kiss this doll of Ling Yan, but you treated me like this, if this matter spreads, how should the world view you? Is it a trend of inflammation, or is it a dislike of the poor and love the rich? ”
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Nangong Lei's forehead.
"Well said!"
A young man in the crowd clapped his hands and laughed, finally angering Nangong Lei.
Nangong Lei immediately turned his head and glared at this person, his face suddenly showed fear, and he looked back at Liang Xiao again.
"Virtuous nephew, there must be some misunderstanding in it, let's go in, and the two of them sit down and talk about it again......"
"No need! This marriage, if you don't retreat from the Marquis Mansion in Zhenyuan, you have to retreat! ”
Liang Xiao's categorical refusal made everyone feel only in the clouds.
The Marquis of Zhenyuan was so powerful that he came to withdraw from the marriage, how did he become a divorced person?
Nangong Lei suddenly had two heads and two big, and just wanted to hurry up, and urged: "Since this is the case, then ask the virtuous nephew to return the marriage book to Ben Hou!" ”
"The marriage certificate is indeed on me."
Liang Xiao took out the prepared marriage book from his sleeve, stared at Nangong Lei again, and stopped talking.
Nangong Lei understood and hurriedly said: "No matter what, the two families used to be world friends, as long as the virtuous nephew returns this marriage letter, Benhou can fund you with some silver taels and let you continue to do business." You make a bid! ”
Liang Xiao looked at Nangong Lei with a smile and did not answer.
Nangong Lei was impatient and said angrily: "Is one thousand taels of silver enough!" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help but gasp: "It is worthy of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion!" ”
Liang Xiao pouted and said, "Your Excellency thinks that Ling Qianjin is worth a thousand taels of silver?" ”
The word "daughter", Liang Xiao bit very hard.
"Could it be that you still want 10,000 taels?" Nangong Lei looked reluctant.
Liang Xiao just laughed, and under the shocked gaze of everyone, he tore up the marriage book in public.
"It's a pity that in my Liang Xiao's eyes, Ling Yan is worthless. From now on, the two families will have nothing to do with each other, and I, Liang Xiao, Xie Nangong Ning, will not marry. ”
obviously divorced, but it was an unexpected ending, which made Nangong Lei tremble, with mixed feelings in his heart, and a little regret.
If he knew that he really had the intention to withdraw from the marriage, he shouldn't have made such a big fanfare, he should have listened to Liang Xiao, "go into the cold house and talk about it"!
The young man who spoke out earlier slapped his hands and praised: "The dignified town is far away, and the pattern is not as good as a teenager!" ”
Nangong Lei didn't dare to respond, but just turned around and fled the scene under the shocked gaze of everyone.
Liang Xiao cast a grateful look at the young man, who just smiled at him and clenched his fists, turned around and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, the young man muttered to himself: "My little sister has a good vision, and my future brother-in-law is indeed a talent that can be created." ”
Thinking of his little sister, the young man couldn't help but shudder, and actually began to sympathize with Liang Xiao.
"Brother suffered......"
At home, Jiang Fuxue comforted Liang Xiao with tears.
"I originally intended to get together and disperse with the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, he let people spread rumors and slander me on weekdays, and he dared to come to my ancestral house to insult me in person, even if it was a god and a Buddha, he had a temper, let alone me. My master said that my grandfather and my father were proud of their bones before their deaths, and to this point today, as the last person in the Liang family, how can I be submissive! ”
But soon Liang Xiao calmed down: "Get rich first!" ”
After all, the battle of words is only a momentary speed, and only by making a career can you protect yourself and your family!
Jiang Fuxue comforted again: "Brother is right, my brother will definitely get ahead in the future, and they will regret it!" It's just that my brother is now going to do a sugar business, and Xue'er heard that the cost of raw materials in this kind of business is ridiculously high......"
Liang Xiao gently patted Jiang Fuxue's little head, and said confidently: "Don't worry, your brother won't do things that you are not sure of!" ”
"Xue'er also saved some money and wanted to help her brother." Jiang Fuxue saw that Liang Xiao was still confident and calm, and suddenly looked happy.
Between the words, Jiang Fuxue had already taken out ten silver tickets from the purse on her waist, put them in Liang Xiao's hand, and said: "Xue'er supports my brother unconditionally, and the thousand taels of silver tickets will be handed over to my brother, and my brother just has to do it with confidence." ”
"Xue'er, the money that Grandma asked you to save, you can keep it first......" Liang Xiao didn't finish speaking, he was suddenly startled, and looked at the silver ticket in his hand, "Where did you get a thousand taels?!" ”
