Red House Shoufu

Chapter 229

The fluorene board in Jia Amnesty's hand almost fell to the ground, looking at Wang Qi who was in front of him, he said in surprise, "You... Who do you want to marry your kid?"

"I want to marry Rong Enbo's second girl for Gouzi!"

Wang Qi clasped his hands again and said, "I know it's a bit presumptuous, but the sincerity of the Wang family will never be adulterated, and I hope Rong Enbo will fulfill it!"

Seeing Wang Qi's sincere attitude, Jia She was very happy.Others may not know, but he does know who Wang Qi is.Moreover, Wang Huan didn't say much about his talents. Can a person who can enter the Hanlin Academy as a second-class man be comparable to ordinary talents?
The Rongguo Mansion has been seeking to use martial arts to transfer literature in its own generation. How could it be possible to push out the Jinshi son-in-law who came to the door?

However, after meeting an old man from the government a few days ago, he originally wanted to ask for a job in Beijing as a banquet, but when he was drunk, he mentioned that he wanted to marry and welcome the Spring Festival.

He drank a few more drinks under the flattering words, and forgot how to answer.The other party didn't mention it again these days, so Jia Amnesty put the matter behind him.

But Wang Qi suddenly proposed marriage today, Jia She was happy, but also a little embarrassed.It's not that I'm worried that the other party will make trouble for me, but I'm just worried that if I said something inappropriate at the time, it would affect the reputation of Yingchun and Rongguo Mansion.

Wang Qi is a person who looks like a human being, but Jia She can't tell that Jia She has something on his mind.He opened his mouth and asked: "Bo Rong Enbo, what is the unspeakable secret?"

Jia She shook his head and said to Wang Qi: "No, no, I was just a little surprised when I heard it suddenly. It's a good marriage between your two families."

Compared with the boy from the Sun family who came from Datong, Jia She admired Wang Huan even more.Marrying her daughter to the Wang family, a scholarly family, is naturally much better than the Sun family, which makes a living by licking blood with knives.

He directly agreed to what Wang Qi said, but there should be a process to go through.The two of them were standing on the side of the royal road in the imperial city. They took off their jade pendants and exchanged them with each other, which was regarded as a temporary marriage contract for their children.

Wang Qi's wish came true, and he laughed heartily: "It's really a good marriage! The in-laws are so straightforward, and my Wang family can't be ambiguous. I will invite a matchmaker to come to the door tomorrow..."

……

Jia Amnesty came out from the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, and hurried back to Rongguo Mansion because he had something on his mind.

As soon as he entered the mansion, someone asked Jia Lian to come to the study, closed the door, and expressed his worries.

"Father, what do you want your son to say?"

Jia Lian listened to the whole story, and replied with his forehead: "Then Sun Shaozu was sure of your temperament, so he mentioned the matter of proposing marriage after you were drunk. Think carefully, have you promised anything or left any tokens? "

Jia She thought hard, but the memory of that day was blank for some reason, and he couldn't remember it.

"Probably not. As a father, I went to the banquet because of the face of Sun Shaozu's deceased father. After all, the Sun family came from the family of our Jia family, and we still have to give them the dignity they deserve..."

"Oh, what are you doing!"

Jia Lian sighed, called Jia Amnesty's personal servant, and inquired carefully about the situation that day.After confirming again and again that nothing was left behind, he was only relieved after accepting the 5000 taels of silver from Sun Shaozu.

After the boy left, Jia Lian asked, "What are the 5000 taels for?"

"Oh, this is used by Sun Shaozu to run for an official. The Sun family has no other way in the capital, so they entrusted their father to help him clear it up and down. If they want to attack his father's official position as soon as possible, it is best to stay in the capital. "

Jia Amnesty's answer made Jia Lian frown. The military officer of the Sun family belonged to the local guard.His father died, and Sun Shaozu kept his filial piety for three years, so it is reasonable to want to seize the official position as soon as possible.

According to common sense, if you don't want to wait for vacancies, you can apply for an attack on the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War, and you will spend a thousand taels of silver.Even if he made up his mind to ask Jia Amnesty to help with the operation and transfer to Beijing, it would not take 5000 taels of silver.

After all, Rongguo Mansion is now in its prime, and it is easy to place a low-grade general in the Beijing camp.

Jia Lian felt that the 5000 taels of silver might be troublesome, so he said to Jia Amnesty, "I'll ask someone to return the silver in a while. As for Sun Shaozu's attack on the post, my father can use our own money to clear it."

"Why do you want to go back? Which one doesn't have to spend some money? After all, he is a sixth-rank chief executive. If he wants to be transferred to the Beijing camp, the governor's mansion and the Ministry of War have to do something..."

Jia Amnesty said with some dissatisfaction: "Even if it doesn't cost 5000 taels, three or two thousand is always needed, right? Don't we need to spend our own money?"

Jia Lian solemnly advised: "Did you take this matter for the money or to take care of the old family members of the Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes, as if you underestimated me: "Of course it's to take care of our old family members. Most of the old brothers who fought with your grandfather in the South and North stayed in Jiubian, and they all asked for help." The door is closed, we can't just ignore it, can we?"

"Since this is the case, why not exchange some money for a good reputation?"

Jia Lian's rhetorical question left Jia Amnesty speechless.All these years of pretending to be a dandy made him a little dazed, and when he saw Yinzi, he wanted to hug him.

"Father, not only do we have to return the silver, Sun Shaozu must not stay in the capital."

Jia Lian poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jia She, who was a bit sleepy: "This man is too cunning, and he was able to figure out his father's temperament in a short period of time. Think about it, if you made a drunken promise at that time, After waking up, do you admit it or not? Under the faith, you are an old member of our family again, so you can only admit it with a bite of the bullet? "

"Damn it! No wonder the kid from the Sun family invited a few old brothers to accompany him that day. So it was for this purpose."

Seeing that people's hearts are too sinister, Jia Amnesty reacted after being reminded by his son after being stunned for a while.He said to Jia Lian: "Just do as you said, let people send back the silver, and go to the governor's mansion and the Ministry of War in the future as a father, ask someone to finish the attack on his post, and send this guy back early."

……

Daiyu was playing with her sisters in the garden of Rongxitang, when Jia Shi asked Yuanyang to invite Wang Huan, and asked him kindly.

"The second girl grew up in front of me since she was a child. Among the girls, she is the most shy. Even if she is wronged, she is buried in her heart and is unwilling to speak out..."

Jia Shishi told the advantages and disadvantages of Yingchun, and Wang Xifeng in the room added one or two from time to time.Jia Shishi finally said: "Brother Huan's character and talent are very good. To put it bluntly, even the second girl is not good enough for her."

Wang Xiaoshi knew that this was specifically told to him, since the two families intend to get married, they only talk about the advantages and not the shortcomings, and there will be no complaints in the future.

"What did Mrs. Tai say? The girl you raised yourself is the best."

She poked Wang Huan, who was standing in the hall and was acting cute, with her eyes, and said to Jia Shishi and Wang Xifeng: "It's not like this kid in my family. He's such an old man, but he still has a strong temper. If it wasn't for him With the whip whipped, I can't even read the books!"
