Chapter 41: Qingxuan's divorce
Extorting this thousand taels of silver is also quite risky, and if one is not good, it will push Lord Thorn Shi into a difficult situation. If it is known by the opponents in the court, it will inevitably be another turmoil. But since Wang Yuan dared to make up this matter, he naturally had the certainty of settling the troubles, but after all, he still borrowed the name of Lord Cui Huanzhi, and Wang Yuan also had to risk being punished by Lord Shi.
All in all, Li Qingxuan feels that it is still very fair. "What are you doing in a daze, don't get out of here!" Wang Yuan looked at Tian County Lieutenant and shouted in a deep voice: "This matter is not over, after the birthday, I will make it clear to you." Tian County Lieutenant glanced at Zhu Yanei, gritted his teeth secretly, and had to leave in embarrassment.
In terms of official position, Wang Yuannai is a captain of the forbidden army, and he is also the head of the guard of Lord Shi, and it is more than enough to teach such a county lieutenant a petty official. Zhu Yanei's face was even more pale for a while, in order to break this marriage contract, he forced the Yu family to marry, and he also prepared a lot of back-ups, no matter how bad it was, he could mess up this birthday. Unexpectedly, Liu Yushi did not come out, but Wang Yuan, the henchman of Lord Assassin Shi, broke the plan.
Even though he still has a lot of followers, but Wang Yuan is present, he doesn't dare to use it anymore. After the previous events, the wine banquet was very interesting at this time, but everyone carefully pondered the previous things, but there was an alternative interest. The congratulatory gift sent by Lord Thorn Shi is also quite valuable, it is a two-hundred-year-old purple lingzhi, but with Li Qingxuan's hundred-year-old raspberry grass pearl jade in front, it is inevitably a little inferior.
Then, there was a strange silence. This birthday is the most spectacular scene of the Yu family in the past 100 years, and it should also be the most beautiful day in the life of Mrs. Yu. It's a pity that after the previous events, it seems very low. The banquet ended, and everyone dispersed.
Wang Yuan walked up to Li Qingxuan's side and said in a low voice: "One thousand taels of silver, I will force them to spit it out within three days, and divide the account fifty-fifty." In addition, I will also get back your more than 300 taels, and then you can go back to the bamboo house to see if there are any items missing. Li Qingxuan smiled, sent another object to Wang Yuan, and said in a low voice: "This is the physical evidence that they framed me." β
"Vermilion Bird Iron Plate?" Wang Yuan glanced at it, put it away quietly, and said: "Actually, the material of this thing is not a strange treasure, or even a treasure, but it is an ancestral heirloom of the Xu family, and it has a secret story of the Xu family, so it has a little value." But in fact, this thing is also useful to the Xu family, and now the Xu family is offering a reward of two thousand taels to find this thing, as a person in the court, because of my identity, if I get the Vermilion Bird Iron Plate, I have to hand it in, and I can't ask the Xu family for two thousand taels. β
After a pause, Wang Yuan said again: "I'll send someone to dress up, send the Vermilion Bird Iron Plate, and take the two thousand taels of silver." I'll send it to you in a few days. Li Qingxuan nodded and said, "That's very good, besides, I'm alone, and you are also a family person, so you and I are equally divided." β
Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not short of money, but in a few days I'm going to marry a concubine in the sixth room, and the five hundred taels from before are more than enough." "Five hundred taels of silver, not to mention marrying a concubine in the sixth room, even marrying a concubine in the twelfth or thirteenth room, it is enough. At this moment, a family member suddenly came and said to Li Qingxuan: "The old lady has invited Li Gongzi to the study for a gathering." β
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Li Langjun, you are busy first, and we will drink together another day." Li Qingxuan said goodbye to him and went to the back hall with his family. Wang Yuanyao looked at the front hall, and saw that everyone was surrounded by Liu Yushi and Liu Wuye, who had already left the gate of Yu's house, he was silent for a moment, and raised his feet to rush up.
"The plans and calculations of the Zhu and Yu families are still much shallow and incomplete, especially the young people of the Zhu family, who are above the top and underestimate everyone. After a moment of silence, Liu Yushi shook his head and smiled: "Maybe the old man is used to seeing the intrigues and tricks in the court, and his vision is much higher." β
"It's that Li Jialangjun......" Liu Yushi chuckled: "It's very pleasing to the eye, if it weren't for the lack of leisure, the old man really wanted to pull him back from the wrong road, embark on the right path of reading and studying literature, and serve the imperial court." Liu Wuye also chuckled, disapproving, but said: "It's good for the Zhu family and the Yu family to use him as a chess piece, but they can't help but despise him too much." It is said that both sides have only sent people to make contact, and that's all, so the variables are naturally not small. As you said, whether it is the young people of the Yu family or the Zhu family, they are too shallow. β
"Actually, if you are an ordinary person, as long as you have a little money, you can take risks, and being a chess piece is nothing. But this Li Xiaolangjun is a child of a family, and he has traveled to the rivers and lakes, and he has his own opinions on world affairs, and it is not surprising that he is not at the mercy. Liu Wuye smiled and said: "If I hadn't expected this good show, how could I have invited you to come with me? With your identity, what about a wealthy gentleman? How can you be worthy of coming to the banquet?"
Liu Yushi smiled and said, "That's all?" Liu Wuye sighed and said: "I was broken by that old ghost's words back then, and I was depressed for many years, and it was this junior who woke me up. I heard that Wang Yuan invited him to Beijing, and the little girl of the Yu family is in the capital, I invite you to come today, just to let you take a look at this Li Xiaolangjun, in the future in the capital, if he has any difficulties, you read in my face and help a little. β
Liu Yushi nodded and said: "Brother Liu, I have also heard about you, I saw Li Xiaolangjun today, I don't hate it, but I want to accept him as a disciple, and I will take care of him in the capital in the future." There was a creak, and the carriage came to a halt. Liu Yushi frowned slightly, and was about to scold the coachman.
At this moment, I heard someone outside the car say loudly: "The lowly Wang Yuan asks to see." Liu Yushi lifted the curtain and sneered: "I haven't seen you for many years, you, the captain of the forbidden army, have become the commander of Cui Tingshi's personal guard, and your majesty is growing, so you dare to stop my car?" Wang Yuan only chuckled, suddenly sighed again, his face was a little solemn, he jumped into the carriage, and said in Liu Yushi's ear: "Si Tiantai's first master Li Yu left Beijing, and the Liexian Ascension Map was stolen. β
Liu Yushi shuddered, and said in a lost voice: "How is it possible?" Under the protection of Si Tiantai, the treasure of Zhenguo was actually stolen? Even though Li Mi, the national teacher of the dynasty, left Beijing, there were countless high-ranking people in Si Tiantai, and there were many strange people, how could someone steal the Immortal Ascension Map? As far as he knew, among Si Tiantai, there was still a sword immortal who was unknown to the world, and he was not inferior to Li Mi, the head of Si Tiantai.
"I'm leaving. A clear voice sounded in the Yu family's study. Li Qingxuan ignored Old Lady Yu's surprised gaze at all, and said lightly: "You don't have to say anything, you can see that asking me to marry on my birthday is a shield used by the Yu family to reject the Chen family." Zai is just a pawn in your eyes, not a real son-in-law. β
"Whether it's you or Zhu Yanei, they all regard me as a chess piece that can be manipulated by others. "What I don't like, others force me to do it, then first ask me if the three-foot sword in my hand is willing!" Li Qingxuan said lightly: "I don't listen to the Zhu family's mercy, I don't do the sharp weapon in Zhu Yanei's hands, but I won't obey your Yu family in everything." Old lady Yu's eyes showed a look of consternation, but after the silence, she was a little ashamed and had nothing to say.
"If I listen to the words of the Zhu family, I will put the Yu family in an extremely embarrassing situation on my birthday, and although I don't know what the Zhu family will do next, it is conceivable that it is definitely not a good act. Li Qingxuan said slowly: "It's good that the relationship between the two families was good in the past, and it is not good for me to send the Yu family into such a situation." However...... If according to what the Yu family said, this marriage contract, I'm afraid I can't help it. β
"But you never thought that I would be the son of the Li family of Zhao County, right?!Although the Yu family has made a comeback, it is not what it used to be, but everyone knows that the four major families of Wu County together are not as good as the Li family of Zhao County, and the Yu family wants to use me as a shield for all those who come to seek relatives, but have you ever asked me about my wishes? I'm afraid that in your hearts, I am a little person who can be manipulated by others!"
"After that, whether you want to continue this marriage in name only, or to terminate it, it is only a matter of one sentence, and in short, there is nothing for me to do. Li Qingxuan looked at Old Lady Yu and said with a smile: "That's right?"
"Not bad. Old lady Yu sighed and said, "After you ask for marriage, I will agree to come down and refuse the Zhu family." But after that, the period of consummation of marriage will be postponed indefinitely, and you will be used as Ling'er's nominal husband to block unnecessary troubles, until one day, without fear of any trouble, the Yu family will dissolve the marriage contract. It's just that the old man didn't expect that you were the son of the Li family in Zhao County, and the Yu family couldn't stand you, and I hope that Xiaolangjun would not blame the Yu family, and the Yu family was also helpless. β
Li Qingxuan smiled and said, "It's expected." "But the old man never thought that you would come to quit your family. But you are the son of the Li family of Zhao County, so you can understand this thought. Old lady Yu looked at him and said in a deep voice: "As long as you are willing, you will be the Yu family's fast son-in-law, my granddaughter Ling'er was favored by Princess Tan Guo in the capital and was accepted as a disciple by Princess Tan Guo." After the deed is completed, I will give you a huge fortune, and the Yu family owes you a favor, and I can help you do two things in the future. β
Li Qingxuan shook his head, the old lady Yu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and said: "Now the Yu family is thriving, and it will become a top family in the future, not far away, I don't know how many people break their heads, want to become the son-in-law of the Yu family, I don't want Xiao Langjun to look down on my Yu family after all, the old man has two granddaughters, she is born beautiful, although she is a concubine, but after the matter is completed, you can choose one person to marry Xiao Langjun, I don't know what Xiao Langjun wants?"
Li Qingxuan smiled and said: "Not everyone expects the rich side to enjoy all the glory and wealth, and on the birthday, the old lady also heard it, I am pregnant with a thousand taels, and I have long been worry-free about food and clothing, so why bother to cling to the powerful again? As for Miss Yu, I have never seen it, and I can't talk about any affection, and this marriage contract is just a thin piece of paper for me." β
Old lady Yu's eyes showed a different color, and she sighed: "Xiao Langjun, my granddaughter Ling'er's marriage is not something I can completely decide on alone, after all, Ling'er is a disciple of Princess Tanguo, she will see you in the future, if she has a good impression of you, the old man will also be happy to see it." You have a marriage contract with Ling'er, can you really let it go?"
Li Qingxuan said with a smile: "A piece of thin paper, why can't you put it?" Old lady Yu sighed: "Although the marriage contract is a fictitious thing, it may not be impossible to fake it." Li Qingxuan shook his head and laughed. This old lady Yu said it nicely, in fact, that Miss Yu is in the capital, and I don't know when she will come back, her nominal fiancΓ©, I am afraid that when I am old, I may not be able to see her, what kind of fake drama is it really about?
"Mr. Bai Yun is so fortunate to have such a unicorn as you. Old lady Yu sighed quietly, among the younger generation of the Yu family, the men are ordinary and mediocre, only Yu Qiuling is extremely good, but after all, she is a daughter.
