Chapter 151 The Stroke of Qi
It's just that it doesn't seem right!The prodigal family spends all their money, shouldn't they sell the house for money, why let this house run down like this?

So, Jiang Wan asked out the doubts in her heart.

"Girl, please listen to me speak slowly." The man from Yaxing replied.

"The official's son was led astray by someone sent by the enemy. No matter how much the official and his wife persuaded him, it was useless. In the end, he ruined all the money in the family and wanted to sell the house.

However, he was discovered by officials when he took the deed.So, it didn't sell.He was also beaten up by the officials, and it took a long time for his injuries to heal.

After recovering from his injury, the official's son went out to fool around again.

But he has no money, those people don't take him to play, let him find money to play again.

He has lost all the money in the family, except for the big house now.There is even a problem with eating, so there is no money for him to waste.

Those people advised him again: Don't you still have a younger sister?If you marry your younger sister, you won't have money after receiving the dowry.

The official's son was right when he thought about it. Anyway, his sister is 14 years old.It's time to get married, but it's just a little earlier.

But this matter has to find a matchmaker, how can he find a matchmaker as a man.

Those people gave him advice again, saying that they knew a matchmaker, as long as he agreed.

The official's son agreed after thinking about it.

After a few days, those people brought a matchmaker with colorful face paint.

The matchmaker told him about a husband who was selected as a scholar, but his family was very poor, so it was not as good as his family!At least his family has a three-entry mansion.

The official's son was unwilling and asked the matchmaker to look for it again.The matchmaker didn't say anything, just nodded and left.

Two days later, the matchmaker came again.

This time, she was talking about a wealthy foreigner.But this master is a bit older, already in his 50s.His grandson is almost the age of a younger sister.

The official's son couldn't agree when he heard it. He wanted to marry off his sister, but he didn't want to sell her out.

This doesn't work either, let the matchmaker try again.Be sure to find someone who is under the age of two and has money.If you are a scholar, it will be even better if you pass the exam.

The matchmaker said with some embarrassment: Such a good man is very sought-after, and it is not easy to find.

Regardless of the son of an official, he must find such a person as his brother-in-law.

Seeing his resolute attitude, the matchmaker nodded after thinking about it.

This delay passed for several days.The official's son hadn't gone out to gamble for many days, his hands were itchy, and he was very anxious.

After waiting for another two days, I received another message from the matchmaker saying: I found a son who met his requirements, but he wanted to see a girl.

When the official's son heard that he had been found, he was overjoyed and didn't know what to do.

If it weren't for someone around, he might have jumped up.

But, why does the young master want to see his sister!

I haven't seen each other yet!He is a man but wants to see a girl first.No, I have to meet the other party first, and then let him see my sister.

Thinking of this, he said to the matchmaker: How can an unmarried man and woman meet first?As my brother-in-law, I can meet him on my behalf.

And he assured the matchmaker that the siblings look alike.Meeting him is like meeting his sister.

Seeing that he didn't agree, the matchmaker didn't say anything, so she went back and asked.

The official's son waited patiently for a few more days, and the matchmaker finally came.Said that the son agreed, but he wanted to take a handkerchief made by a girl as a token.

They also agreed to meet in the box of Zhangjia Restaurant the next day.

The matchmaker also told him that the Zhang family restaurant belonged to the young master.In other words, this son is the young master of the Zhang family.

When the official's son heard about it, his family opened a restaurant.Then it proves that the family is not short of money, so he can ask for more dowry.

So, I readily agreed.

As for the handkerchief, it's not close-fitting clothing, so he didn't take it to heart.

Moreover, he knew that the girl's kerchief and clothes should not be taken out casually.Naturally, he wouldn't go out with that kind of handkerchief with a logo on it. He chose an ordinary handkerchief without his sister's logo.

The next day, he met the son of the Zhang family in the Zhang family restaurant.Sure enough, he is young and promising, judging from his conversation, he should also be a scholar.

Both of them are scholars, so the topic of conversation is naturally related to reading.

After this conversation, the official's son became even more satisfied with Mr. Zhang.So, the two exchanged tokens with each other.

After all, Mr. Zhang's family is rich, and the hand is a suet white jade fan pendant.

If he hadn't thought that this was his sister's engagement token, he would have thought of using this pendant as gambling money.

The official's son wanted to leave with the fan pendant.

However, he was stopped by Mr. Zhang.Said to write a contract similar to a marriage letter and asked him to sign it.

The official's son has been educated anyway, and has seen the world outside.As soon as this Mr. Zhang said, he knew it was not good, and wanted to open the door and escape.

Unexpectedly, the other party was already prepared.

There were five or six big men blocking the door to prevent him from escaping.

He had only reached the door when he was escorted back.

Mr. Zhang unhurriedly took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which were densely written words.Although I couldn't see what was written on it, the official's intuition was not a good thing.

He kept struggling, trying to break free from the oppression of these big men and escape.

However, he is a frail scholar, how can he break free.

Before he escaped, the young master asked someone to bring cinnabar ink pad.He pressed his fingerprints on the piece of paper.

After pressing the fingerprint, the son took the paper and left.After Mr. Zhang left, those big guys let him go.

The official's son was so frightened that he ran out of Zhang's restaurant and locked himself in the house when he got home.

He didn't dare to tell his parents about it, so he could only think of a solution in the room alone.But before he could think of a way, people headed by Mr. Zhang came to the door.

They brought the person with the contract with the signature and fingerprints, and asked them to hand him over immediately.He also took out the square handkerchief.

That's when the officials knew what his son had done recently.

I was so angry that I had a stroke on the spot, but I couldn't afford it.His mother was also frightened and fainted.

Both parents fell to the ground.

For a while, he didn't know whether to help his father or his mother first.

It was his younger sister who heard the movement outside and ran out and helped mother up from the ground.Then he went to help the official's father.

Mr. Zhang and those who came to the door, when they saw the girl coming out, they stepped forward and wanted to snatch her.

Although the girl didn't know what happened, but her father and mother became what they are now, and they must be inseparable from them.

They still want to rob her now, they are definitely not good people.

So, before those people get close to her.He pulled out a hairpin from his head and pressed it against his neck and said, "If you dare to step forward again, I will die here." '

Mr. Zhang saw that the girl was so strong and worried about her life, so he let her go temporarily.

However, he told her what happened recently.Said that her brother had sold her, and it was useless to resist.
