Chapter 287: Adulterous Thief
Wu Haogu was busy getting promoted and making a fortune in Kaifeng Mansion, and he was busy marrying the great beauty Pan Qiaolian with a dowry of 300,000 yuan, and he was really proud of his life. But he "forgot" that in Yanggu County, on Jingxi Road, there was a Ximen woman who had been enlarged by him and was waiting for him all year round.
In the hall of the Ximen Mansion in Yanggu County, the lights were bright at this time.
Ten days ago, Chai Laowai took a few Chai family children to Yanggu County, and found Ximen He to propose relatives for Wu Haogu, and asked Ximen to be a concubine, and also said that he could take out a quota for being an official as a dowry. As for the bride price, it is even more arbitrary for the Simon family, as much as you want.
The conditions for taking a concubine are really quite good, and Ximen Qing knows that he also feels quite face-one is to "earn in" and the other is to "lose out". To put it mildly, the Ximen family sold Ximen Qing to Wu Haogu! And how much can be "sold" is the value of Simon Woman.
Now Wu Haogu is bidding, but it really fully reflects the value of Ximen Qing, and she herself is very satisfied.
But just when a few old men of the Simon family wanted to agree or didn't agree, things suddenly changed again!
The reason for the change is still that Yanggu genius Fan Zhijin! He's already hit the soft nail twice, and somehow he doesn't give up (in fact, he doesn't give up), and he found a matchmaker to come forward for the third time.
And this time it was a matchmaker with her maiden name Ximen who came forward - a woman married by the Ximen family, and she was a heroine like Ximen Qing when she was young.
However, he did not meet a character like Wu Haogu, but married Zhou Xiucai, who opened a hotel in Yanggu County, and gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and now both daughters are married, one of whom married into the Yanggu Fan family. The two sons are both studying and preparing for the exam, and Fan Jinzhi of the Fan family is their idol.
Because it is the old sister of the Ximen family (and Ximen He are of the same generation), several old men of the Ximen family can't prevaricate casually, so they have to honestly admit that they want to "sell" Ximen Qing to a big businessman in Kaifeng Mansion as a concubine......
And just after Ximen's mother-in-law told the Fan family's mother and son about this incredible news, Fan Zhijin, who was not particularly interested in Ximen Qing, was already on fire in his heart.
What does Simon's family mean by this? Can't look down on yourself as a reader? If the Ximen family married Ximen Qing to the businessman surnamed Wu, it would be fine, the Ximen family was originally a mercenary businessman, short-sighted, and only copper coins in his eyes. But the problem is that Ximen Qing is a concubine!
And it's a concubine for a merchant...... If you want to be a concubine for a noble civil official or a noble official from a family, it's just not!
What does this Simon's family mean? Could it be that Fan Zhijin and Fan Daxiu are so worthless? The Ximen family looks down on Fan Zhijin and Fan Daxiucai so much? This scholar is really a little unbearable for his stubbornness, he actually invited the old lady of the Fan family, a special performance from the Jiupin General Shilang Fan Yishan Fan Daguanren, who came to the Ximen Mansion with Fan Zhijin and Ximen's mother-in-law this evening.
It's not that you have to marry Ximen Qing, it's just to ask for an explanation, what's going on? Why would the eldest sister of the Ximen family rather be a concubine for a businessman than look at the talented man of the Fan family?
Could it be that the Fan family's big show is so unpopular with the Ximen family?
This is unbearable for uncles and aunts!
"Big brother, what the hell do you think? You are just a granddaughter of Qing'er, didn't you want to recruit a lot of money? Why did you give Qing'er a merchant as a concubine in the blink of an eye? The ancestors of the Simon family are also eunuchs for generations, how can there be a daughter who is a concubine? ”
The old matchmaker of the Ximen family was also puzzled at this time. The ancestors of the Simon family are "loyal martyrs"! Ximen Qing made a concubine, which is an insult to the ancestors!
"That's right! Brother Yunpeng, aren't you old and confused? Fan Daguan, who has been taking the imperial examination all his life, also stroked his white beard and shook his head.
He and Ximen Crane have known each other since they were young, Ximen Crane has not studied well since he was a child, he is not good at studying, he likes to dance knives, get guns, ride horses and shoot arrows, and he went to the martial arts exam several times and planted them in the article, but he could only walk the rivers and lakes to be a Jianghu Langzhong. Simon's house also went downhill in his hands......
And he is a great talent in Yanggu County, thirteen times in his life, although he has fallen first, but he still asked for a special performance of the famous Jinshi, and now he is a dignified scholar. The Fan family is also able to prosper step by step because of an outstanding child like him.
But no matter how downhill the Simon family is, they won't want to "sell" their daughter.
"What the hell is going on?" Fan Daguan always felt that something was wrong when he spoke, and he actually knew that the Ximen family had been engaged in smuggling. "Yun Peng, is there a mistake, you have to rely on other people's financial resources and connections to solve problems? If that's the case, brother, I'm still a little bit of a friend...... Uncle Li Wen, who had just been given the title of Mention of the Criminal Prison Department of Jingxi and West Roads, had an old relationship with me. ”
Uncle Li Wen is Li Gefei, Li Qingzhao is his father, Li Gefei was a professor in Yunzhou twenty years ago, and Fan Daguan was a well-known exempt man in Yunzhou at that time, and Li Gefei naturally had some dealings.
"No, no, no......" Ximen He just smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Bearded Weng (Fan Daguanren's number), don't ask...... If your family Xiucai really wants to marry a girl from my family, as long as it is not Qing'er, other girls are fine, and I will give 20,000 yuan for the dowry, is it okay? ”
It doesn't sound right!
Old woman Simon also walked through the rivers and lakes when she was young, and knew that people's hearts were sinister, and there were lewd thieves who specialized in stealing the innocence of her daughter's family!
"Big brother," Granny Ximen looked at Simon Crane with a sickly face, "Isn't someone picking flowers?" ”
She said "black words", and picking flowers means "holding hands", but it is still different from picking flowers. Picking flowers is your love and my willingness, it is Simon Woman's willingness to let people pick them, and picking flowers is to use force to be fascinated. Ximen matchmaker also knows Ximen Qing's martial arts, and she doesn't go out alone, and she always follows the good players in the clan.
This kind of woman, where is the flower thief who dares to provoke?
"This, this, this ......" Ximen He listened to his sister's words, and was so anxious that he stammered a little, this is a family ugly! Hurriedly looked at the two nerds of the Fan family, but they didn't seem to understand, so they sighed.
However, Old Lady Simon had already seen that something was wrong, and stomped her feet and said, "Big brother! You too...... My family also has a head and face in the rivers and lakes, when has it suffered such a loss? Who's the one who picked the flowers? Turned around and asked someone to insert (kill). ”
Ximen's family is mixed with the rivers and lakes, and it is almost the same way as the heroes of Liangshan, but they don't rob the road, but smuggle! But whoever wants to bully it, he still has to cut people! It's nothing if the person who "picks the flowers" wants Ming Media to marry Ximen Qing, you can let Ximen Qing be a concubine, that is bullying the Ximen family! You'll have to get a few knives in it!
"...... you" Ximen He glared at his sister who was talking nonsense, "Plug in!" I was able to plug it in early! The one who picks the flowers is a good thing! ”
Wu Haogu, is that a person who can "plug in" casually? He is now an official of the imperial court, and maybe he will become an ambassador and minister, and "inserting" him is killing officials and rebelling against Shangliangshan. And Wu Haogu is still a "good buyer" who can pay a lot of money for Ximen Qing!
Simon asked, "How good?" ”
"I can keep a good quality for my family." The meaning of the top grade is a military attache of the grade, which is the dream of the Ximen family!
If it weren't for the fact that Ximen He didn't have a son or grandson to be an official, he would have sent Ximen Woman to Kaifeng Mansion a long time ago.
Simon Matchmaker was stunned, "Is there this way?" That's not incommensurate. ”
The brothers and sisters of the Ximen family are talking to each other, and the two Confucian uncles and nephews of the Fan family are looking at each other. They are all people who only read the books of sages, but the readers have a strong ability to make up for the brain, although they can't understand it, but they can also make up a rough idea.
Ximen Qing must have met a flower thief and asked someone to pick it! And this flower thief is still a powerful person, a big businessman in Kaifeng Mansion, and the Ximen family can't afford to provoke him, so he has to give Ximen Qing to others as a concubine.
Needless to say, this lewd thief must be an existence that even a smuggler like the Simon family can't provoke! However, the fact that the Ximen family can't afford to mess with it doesn't mean that the Fan family can't afford it!
No matter how good the people of the Ximen family can fight, they are also a force in the rivers and lakes, and if they don't sound good, they are grass cowards.
And the Fan family is an official eunuch family, and there are three civil officials from the ninth grade in the family, all of whom are first-class wealthy families in Yunzhou. Moreover, Shi Zhi County in Yanggu County was a classmate and friend of Fan Daguan when he was studying at Yingtian Academy in his early years, and the two families also married their sons and daughters. Don't say that you are a merchant from Kaifeng Mansion, and you are a military general of eight and nine grades, and you don't dare to provoke the Yanggu Fan family...... Unless it's a high-roller from a noble background.
However, if the other party is really a general, the Ximen family doesn't have to hide it, their Ximen family's identity is a great honor to be able to climb the Jiangmen Xungui!
The old matchmaker of Ximen was still talking to her brother in black at this time, "Will the good deeds come to Yanggu County?" ”
The old matchmaker inquired about this because there were three "useless" scholars in her family, not to mention Jinshi, but they were tired of the test and exam, and the old man Zhou had passed once when he was young, and the two boys had not relied on it two or three times. There is no hope for the imperial examination, so it is better to be a scribe and a guest for a wealthy family, and maybe you can also find a background......
"Coming, coming!" Ximen He frowned and said, "The boss of the Chai family has come to Yanggu in person to say peace for that good family......
"Then I'll be Qing'er's matchmaker." Ximen matchmaker didn't care how ugly the faces of the two Fan family's Xiucai were, and directly "rebelled".
Her family has two talented sons who are not good at reading! If you don't find a way out for them, won't you be poor in the future?
And Fan Zhijin and Fan Daguan glanced at each other, and they both noted that "a certain prostitute thief" was coming to Yanggu County......
Whore, you're going to be out of luck!
