Chapter 180: Shocking
The eldest lord Jia Yu squinted his eyes and thought about it, Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law and Li Weijian came together, what else could it be for? It must be a marriage to welcome spring!
Thinking of the shortcomings of one person, Jia Yu hurriedly ordered the servant: "Go and invite the lady." β
The little servant responded and hurriedly went to the Neiyi Gate to spread the word. Jia Yu then ordered: "Go and invite Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law and Brother Jian'er." β
The servant in charge responded, and the maid served snacks and fruits, and after a while, he saw Li Kun and Li Weijian come in together.
When the three of them saw the ceremony, the eldest lord Jia Yu saw that Li Weijian's face was as usual, but Li Kun pursed his lips as if he was in a heavy mind, and his heart suddenly chuckled, secretly afraid that this family matter would change!
Sure enough, before Li Kun could open his mouth after sitting down, Li Weijian said bitterly: "Uncle Shi, my uncle replied yesterday, as if he didn't approve of my marriage with my second sister. β
"Huh?"
Li Su hurriedly said: "My father said that Brother Jian is still young now, and he is not in a hurry to settle on a marriage. He is the only seedling of this branch, and he will live behind closed doors in the future, if he gets married early, the frugal brother's temperament has not been set, and it is impossible to say that the little two will mix too much, and there will be a gap in the heart.
In the coming day, there will be a fox who will take the opportunity to invite pets, and he will do things that are quick to hurt his relatives and enemies. Master, I think it's better to slow down this matter? β
At this time, Jia Yu's heart was even more annoyed, and he only kept his face calm and did not speak.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the ringing outside ring, but it was Mrs. Xing who led the maid and the maid to come. With only a cursory glance, Mrs. Xing suddenly knew a thing or two in her heart.
It's just that the second girl doesn't care if she marries or not, what she cares about is Li Weijian, the God of Wealth!
After a brief greeting, after taking a seat, Mrs. Xing had already made up her mind. Since you can't get married, you have to take advantage of it.
Because she spoke: "What did the old man just say?" β
Li Kun said: "The eldest master hasn't spoken yet, I'm just talking about it." It's ...... like this."
At that moment, Li Kun repeated it briefly, and Mrs. Xing's face sank. said: "Brother Jian'er is young, but he is also fourteen or fifteen, and the marriage is decided, isn't it appropriate to get married in two or three years?" Master, I'm afraid that I dislike the second girl when I look at Li Saijiu. β
"Too much deception!" The eldest lord Jia Yu put down the teacup and said: "They are all girls from Rongguo Mansion, what is the difference between a concubine and a concubine?" The old lady had spoken earlier, and she had prepared dowries for several girls early in the morning, all of which were 10,000 taels of silver.
Cherish the spring is a descendant, isn't it the same as the spring dowry? β
Li Kun smiled and said, "What the eldest master said is that my father really didn't mean that-"
Mrs. Xing said unrelentingly: "Fortunately, this matter has not been spread, if it is spread, outsiders may not think that the second girl is unbearable, how can this be allowed by the second girl in the future?" β
Li Kun hurriedly said: "I think the same way, since my father doesn't approve of it, then this matter-"
"Huh?" Mrs. Xing said: "Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, this is not what you said. Brother Jian and Yingchun are also like a person, they gather together every three or five days, don't say that you haven't heard the gossip in this house. Now that the family affair has come to an end, it is still our second girl who has suffered a loss. β
"This-" Li Wei was clumsy, and had to look at Li Weijian as if asking for help.
Li Weijian knew in his heart that Mrs. Xing couldn't get married, so she wanted to take advantage. The eldest lord still owes himself 8,000 taels of silver!
He immediately said: "It's all the little nephew's fault, if you knew it was so, why bother...... Hey, uncle, aunt, now that the uncle's letter has arrived, the meaning has been said. I don't know what Uncle Shi and his aunt think? β
Jia Yu asked rhetorically: "What does Brother Jian think?" β
Li Weijian said: "Uncle raised me since I was a child, which is equivalent to my parents, and the parents' orders naturally dare not be violated." If the uncle and aunt feel that this matter is over, the little nephew is willing to give 2,000 taels as an apology, and only take the 6,000 taels of silver, and never come to the door from now on. β
Jia Yu pondered, two thousand taels were exempted, so isn't there still six thousand taels left? He only has three thousand taels of silver in hand now, and he still has to count on next year, where can he afford it?
Because he hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Listen to the meaning of the virtuous nephew, is there another way to say it?" β
Li Weijian smiled bitterly: "Yes." These two are one, so I have to bother the second sister to wait a little longer. Uncle Shi also knows that there has been a lot of noise in the court recently, and I am afraid that this real school will not be able to open next year. β
"Hmm." Jia pardoned his head.
Li Weijian said: "The little nephew just thought that in the New Year, he would always find an opportunity to go back to Jinling." At that time, he persuaded the uncle in person, and said that there was no room for a turn in this matter. β
Mrs. Xing snorted, "What if Brother Jian can't make sense? You can't let the second girl wait for you like this all the time, right? β
"This-" Li Weijian gritted his teeth, his face was embarrassed, and then he patted his thigh and said: "If you make a three-year contract, you must end this matter before the second sister's double ten." If it is done at that time, there will be no side; If it doesn't work, the little nephew tears up the IOU on the spot, and the right is to apologize!
Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, these 8,000 taels are counted as the bride price of the second sister, what do the uncles and aunts think? β
Jia Yu was silent, and wanted to take care of it, but Mrs. Xing couldn't sit still.
Eight thousand taels! How much is the bride price this year?
At this time, it was not Li Weijian's time, the south made a single dowry, and the woman would marry a car at most, where was it? Some simply have nothing.
Nowadays, the bride price is only symbolic, and the dowry is often doubled several times compared to the bride price.
The eldest lord Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing have long made up their minds, and the second girl's marriage must be a dime a dime, and she will be an iron rooster. This dowry is all counting on the old lady's little money. And the old lady has a word first, 10,000 taels per person.
In this way, the bride price is only two thousand taels less than the dowry.
Besides, the dowry will be regarded as welcoming the spring at that time, and Li Weijian must not use it. Li Weijian is not so much silver, and he can't say that he will ask for it softly, and Yingchun will send back some of the dowry in private.
Not to mention that with a son-in-law like Li Weijian, who is known as the God of Wealth, will there be fewer opportunities to make a fortune in the future?
"Sir? I think Brother Frugal is sincere, you see-"
"Hmm!" Jia Yu replied repeatedly, and half of his face finally showed a smile, and said, "The old man knows that the virtuous nephew has such a heart." Well, for the sake of the virtuous nephew's sincerity, I agreed to this agreement! β
At present, the study is full of joy, and the intimacy of uncles, aunts, and nephews is inexplicable. I secretly wondered, how is this different from what I said?
Where did Brother Jian'er get the confidence to move his father? Her father was notoriously old-fashioned.
But no matter what, the matter is decided, this turmoil will be revealed for the time being, even if there will be trouble in the coming day, it will be a matter of the coming day, it is better than tearing up the face with the eldest man's family now.
After drinking a cup of tea, Jia Yu couldn't help but say: "Virtuous nephew, I was knighted that day, and I felt a little inappropriate in my heart, for fear that your uncle would not look down on Yingchun is concubine." That's why I came up with an ideaβ"
Li Weijian hurriedly asked, "What is Uncle Shi's trick?" β
I heard Jia Yu say: "Isn't Li Xianjiu disgusted with Yingchun Shu?" When I turned around, I looked for Brother Jing of Xuanzhenguan, and simply passed the Spring Festival to Brother Jing's name, so wouldn't it be justified? β
Isn't this just taking off your pants and farting!
Thinking like this in his heart, Li Weijian praised it: "Uncle Shi's idea is really wonderful, I don't know when Uncle Shi will handle this matter?" β
"This-" Jia Yu's face froze, and he shirked: "Don't worry, don't worry, you have to pass your uncle's level first." β
Is it the other way around? If Li Shouzhong is explained, what does it matter whether the Spring Festival is followed or not?
Li Weijian saw that Mrs. Xing was only drinking tea with her head bored, and the eldest sister Li Kun beside her was also looking at her nose and mouth, and immediately thought in her heart, could it be that there was something else in this matter?
It's not good to urge at the moment, so let's make a haha. After a while, he said goodbye to his eldest sister Li Kun.
Out of the black oil gate, sparse snowflakes suddenly floated outside. Li Kun buttoned up the outer hood, and Li Weijian couldn't help but say: "Big sister, I just mentioned Jia Jinglai...... The eldest lady has a different complexion from you, what is the reason for this? β
Li Kun frowned and said, "What is this for?" β
"I'm not curious."
Li Kun scolded: "You are also older now, and you have an idea, you want to inquire about Xin'er and go to find someone else to inquire, why do you want to ask me?" β
Li Weijian blinked, knowing that Li Kun was angry. Immediately coaxed: "Sister, you have just seen it, if I don't say that, where will the eldest master let us go?" I don't live in another place, I'm not afraid, but sister, you are still in Rongguo Mansion...... I'm not afraid that these two people will find you unlucky. β
Li Kun said angrily: "It's for me again? It's always you who have a point! β
Li Weijian came over with a smile and said, "Sister, what is the inside story, I can break the situation with this." β
Li Kun looked around, sent the two maids far away, and saw that there was still some distance from the corner gate, because he lowered his voice and said, "This matter...... Brother Jian knows it, and he must not say it. β
"Big sister, don't worry, when have I ever broken my mouth?"
Li Kun bowed, his voice became deeper and lower, and said, "It's all old things...... After Uncle Jing resigned, Ben raised himself at home for a while. Later, it broke the good deeds of the old man...... Well...... You say that the fourth girl Xichun is obviously a girl from Dongfu, why is she always raised in Xifu? β
Li Weijian's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "In this way, the fourth girl is the eldest master's ......."
"Shh The eldest sister glanced at Li Weijian in annoyance: "Be quiet!" β
Li Weijian was in a trance, he couldn't think of it, he couldn't think of it! Jia Jing was actually disheartened because of this, and took refuge in Xuanzhen Temple outside the city.
This old man is really good...... Huh? Jiao scolded the sentence, raising a little uncle - is it the eldest master?
That's why Mrs. Xing drank tea with her head bored, this Jia Yu stole her sister-in-law, and didn't say anything about Xichun, but she turned her head and still had the face to beg Jia Jing and pass the second girl to her name...... No wonder Jia Jing didn't come back on his birthday, this is because he was afraid that he couldn't help but slaughter Jia Yu when he saw him, right?
Hearing such a strange news, where is Li Weijian willing to go? Immediately, he pestered his eldest sister Li Kun with a dead face, and went to his room to ask carefully, and then he understood the general situation.
More than ten years ago, the prince lost power, and Jia Jing was too deeply involved with the prince, because he resigned and returned home. Xu was disheartened, so he indulged in lust every day, and gradually snubbed his wife.
Later, by chance, I don't know why the eldest lord Jia Yu was involved with his sister-in-law. After the change of Chengtianmen, Jia Jingqing knew that the overall situation had been decided, and he became more and more lustful. One day, I went out to have fun, but caught up with the fire in Jinxiangyuan, and I had to return in disappointment.
Coincidentally, when I came back, I bumped into my wife who was pregnant with Liujia and Jia Yu rolling together.
Where can Jia Jing endure it? Immediately drew his sword, and he was about to behead Jia Yu. Jia Yu lifted his pants and turned his head and ran, Jia Jing's wife begged to stop him, which allowed Jia Yu to escape his life.
Jia Yu knew that he had caused a big disaster, and hurriedly begged Jia's mother, and after Jia's mother heard it, her body shook and hung and fainted.
When his mind was clear, he hurried to Ningguo Mansion, and gave up his old face to intercede for his son, Jia Jing had no choice but to Jia's mother, so he simply avoided the study.
In the end, it is ugly, and it is not easy to publicize it. Jia Jingfa had a difficult birth a few months later, and passed away two days after giving birth to Xichun. Jia Jing's heart was so dead that he simply passed the title to Jia Zhen and took refuge in Xuanzhenguan by himself.
Jia Zhen was in her twenties at the time, how could she not know that she was making such a big fuss? Mother Jia remembered that it was always the blood of the Jia family, so she took Xichun to Rongguo Mansion and kept her by her side.
Hearing about such secrets, Li Weijian said straight in his heart, good guy!
The big man is playing ...... It's so delicious, it's not as good as dumplings! No wonder Jia Mu doesn't want to see the eldest master so much! No wonder Dongfu doesn't care about cherishing spring! No wonder Mrs. Xing and Li Kun have such weird faces!
After some sighing, Li Weijian thought of the eldest lord Jia Yulai, and couldn't help but wonder: "The matter has come to this, why does the eldest lord dare to ask Jia Jing?" β
Li Kun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where do I know? What the two of them think is expected to be different from ordinary people. β
Li Weijian can't help but laugh, and the eldest sister Li Kun will also complain, which clearly means that the two of them are mentally ill and have a wide range of ideas.
Li Weijian touched his chin and said, "It's weird, instead of begging Jia Jing, why don't you ask the master?" The two of them are brothers. β
This time, Li Kun gave a definite answer and said, "What else?" Not because of you? β
"Me?"
Li Kun said: "The eldest lord wants you, the golden beetle son-in-law, but he never wants the lord to have anything to do with you again." β
Oh, I see, the typical one would rather be a thief than a slave. For the sake of the family business of Rongguo Mansion, although the eldest man never tore his face, he wished that Jia Zheng had died early.
At this time, Shen Shi had passed, and Jia Lan had also returned, so Li Kun wanted to leave Li Weijian after dinner. Li Weijian remembered that he was Hongyu's son today, so he immediately refused and hurriedly got up and left.
When he went out, he bumped into the smoky Jia Lian again, and the two spoke, and Li Weijian got into the carriage. Recalling all the previous things, Li Weijian suddenly realized that Jia Lian was so unscrupulous, and he dared to follow the master.
A true son has a father and must have a son.
