(Thanks to the county lord sword for the reward and reminder ticket, and also thanks to the [Understanding] 10,000 yuan reward, and congratulations to [Understanding] for becoming the first helmsman of the late Tang Dynasty!) A 4,000-word chapter is offered. )
The fat man Zhang Kuguan 1510, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, told all the truths about the murder of Li Jing with Wang Liang. These words swept through everyone's hearts like a storm, especially the people of the Li family who had the greatest impact.
After a long silence, Han asked in a trembling voice, "Are these true?" ”
Li Jing nodded: "Yes, these are all true. After his son was released from prison, he once asked Wang Liang personally, and he also told me that he did all of them. He colluded with this dog thing to harm me, but he has always been resentful of our Li family. Especially because I refused to marry Gui Niang at the beginning, and the engagement and financial gifts proposed by the fourth sister later, and even he blamed his father-in-law's death on his father. He colluded with Zhang Kuguan not only to take revenge on our Li family, but also to make money. At the beginning, Zhang Kuguan only got 60 acres of land, and also gave 5 acres to Wang Liang. But in fact, Wang Liang took from us twenty acres of land, including himself and the blacksmith's uncle's family, a total of one hundred acres. Zhang Kuguan got 55 acres of land before and after, and Wang Liang privately swallowed 45 acres of land. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier, we always thought he was our family's savior, and we gave him the fourth sister." Han's face was pale and angry.
"A-Niang, I didn't say it earlier because I didn't want you to worry about it."
"But have you ever thought about it, Wang Liang treated us like that, and you still watched him engage to the fourth sister. Fortunately, I finally got retribution, and I was picked up by the thieves on the way, otherwise, how could you be right about your fourth sister? Han still has some worries in his heart. Li Jing said lightly: "Even if he wasn't killed by the mountain bandits, I would never let him have a chance to really marry the fourth sister." Even if I drag him to die with him, I won't let him succeed. ”
"What now? Your fourth sister still has a marriage contract with Wang Liang. ”
"There is no need to think about this, of course, it has to be made public in front of the whole village." Li Hui'er also heard this for the first time, and scolded Wang Liang in her heart for not being a thing. Han hesitated a little and said: "This matter is public, what will the sister-in-law of the Wang family think, can you bear it?" ”
"Mother-in-law, Lang Jun, I am in charge of this matter for my mother, you can make it public. Since it was my third brother who committed the sin, how could I let the fourth sister bear it? In addition, since I entered this house in the first place, it was because of my third brother's deception. Then I don't have the face to continue to stay in this house, I know that Michizaburo has the ability, and now that he is a general, he may be a colt or the prime minister's son-in-law in the future. I'm not worthy of San Lang, San Lang, you will give me a letter of resignation. ”
Only then did everyone remember that the Han family asked Wang Guiniang to make tea just now, but she didn't know when Lu Dao came back again, and heard the whole thing.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Since you have entered this family, you are a member of the Li family. Wang Liang is Wang Liang, and the sins he has done have nothing to do with you. Since you entered the house, I have seen everything you say and do. You are diligent and housekeeping, filial piety to your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and treat your sister-in-law well, such a virtuous daughter-in-law, I am too late to be happy, how can I let you go. Don't say anything like that again! Han hurriedly spoke, stepped forward and took Wang Guiniang's hand and persuaded carefully.
Among everyone, only Li Huier and Yu Youniang were the most embarrassed. In Wang Guiniang's words, the concubine and the prime minister's son-in-law were obviously referring to the two of them. In the past, they had a close relationship with Li Jing, and they were also said by Feng Yanqing to say such foul words of belief. It's just that today, in front of everyone, Li Jing's wife said such things in the Li family, but this matter is different again. Both of them couldn't help but turn crimson and have a fever on their faces. It was a feeling of being caught and raped in bed, making them appear naked in front of everyone. "We still have some business, let's go first." The two women couldn't afford to have the courage to argue with Wang Guiniang at the Li family, so they just lowered their heads and fled from the Li family's courtyard as if they were in a desert.
The two of them left, but they didn't think about it, but it was a bit of a desire to cover up. Even Han looked at Li Jing with suspicion, and Li Jing was a little depressed by everyone's gaze. I had to say to Wang Guiniang: "What are you thinking about every day in your head?" Since I have married you, as long as you have not committed the seven rules, I will not divorce you from leaving the house. Although I married you when I first married you, I also agreed with it in my heart. You have never disliked me in times of trouble, and now how can I abandon my wretched wife, even though I have achieved a small amount? It's enough to hear it once, and I hope not to hear it again. As for how to deal with Wang Liang's matter, I mean that we people know the Tao about the same, and Gui Niang can find a suitable opportunity to talk about this matter to her mother-in-law in private. Externally, there is no need to publicize it, after all, family ugliness does not have to be publicized. You don't have to worry about the marriage of the fourth sister, I will definitely find a more suitable husband for the fourth sister in the future. ”
When Wan Jing heard that Wang Liang was such a shameless person, she had no feelings for Wang Liang in her heart. When she heard the third brother talk about her marriage, she couldn't help but be shy, so she lifted her skirt and covered her face and ran back to the house.
Li Jing realized that it seemed a little inappropriate to say this in front of so many people just now, but his eyes happened to move to Lin Wei, and he couldn't help but move. He moved to his mother and whispered about Lin Wei's background. "A-Niang, look at how my righteous brother is, if you think it's okay, I think it's better to give him the fourth sister. It's all knowing, and it's easy to rest assured. ”
Han was also a little surprised by Li Jing's words, but after carefully looking at Lin Wei a few times, after all, it was the mother-in-law who looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. At that moment, Han asked Lin Wei who else was in his family, how old he was, and so on.
"My nephew is now twenty-eight years old, and he is a native of Chang'an, the capital, and he suffered an accident five years ago, and his family was ruined, leaving only me and my second brother. His wife and children were gone. Lin Wei didn't notice the meaning of Han's words, but just answered truthfully.
When Han heard that Lin Wei was twenty-eight years old and had a wife and children, he hesitated slightly. Wanjing is just sixteen, but the difference between the two is twelve, and they are still doing continuations, which is inevitably a little wronged.
"Auntie, Brother Lin is a careful and gentle person, if the fourth sister marries him, she will not be wronged, not to mention that Brother Lin is still from the official body of Qipin. is older, just to take care of the fourth sister. But the more Li Jing thought about it, the more she felt that this marriage was good. Although Wang Liang's matter was clarified today, no matter what, Wanjing can be regarded as having already had a marriage contract and the other party died before marriage. Another Li family's family background is not high, even if they are looking for it, they may just be looking for a small farmer with a slightly better family background. Instead of that, it is better to marry Lin Wei. After all, Lin Wei used to be a general-like in the capital, with a good family background, and a good temper. He does not gamble and does not drink and prostitute himself, and the key thing is that Lin Wei is now Li Jing's most important deputy.
Although the two have worshipped, if the two brothers marry together, the relationship will be even stronger. Besides, Lin Wei is a little older, but he is a serious seven-grade official. Looking at the future generations, although Lin Wei is a little old, he is only twenty-eight years old, so he can't be said to be old, the twenty-eight-year-old seven-rank official, in the later generations, he is a diamond-level Wang Lao Wu.
"Brother Lin, you met Fourth Sister just now, what do you think of her?" Li Jing pulled Lin Wei aside and asked softly.
"Yes, gentle and quiet, people are as their name suggests, and I heard that I have also learned to read and write, and I know how to be courteous, no worse than everyone's ladies." Lin Wei told his impression of Wanjing very realistically. didn't notice that Li Jing was already full of smiles when he heard this.
"Then I wonder if Brother Lin has any intention of kissing and kissing?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Wei heard what Li Jing meant, but he was a little embarrassed and pretended not to understand.
"My sister-in-law has also been gone for five years, and my eldest brother can't be single like this for the rest of his life, right? Why are you not married, my fourth sister is not married, since you also think that the fourth sister is suitable, then I don't think it is better to combine the two good, let's kiss and kiss, and give you a good marriage to Qin and Jin, how about it? ”
Lin Wei was blushing when Li Jing said it, and shook his hand again and again: "How can marriage be such a child's play, it should be the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and then the six rites can be done." ”
Li Jing said directly: "My aunt also thinks you are suitable!" ”
"Really?" Lin Wei looked at Li Jing and asked a little embarrassed.
"Of course, it's still a joke? If you are willing, then my family will ask the fourth sister again, if you don't want to, then that's it. After speaking, Li Jing pretended to leave, but Lin Wei really fell into the plan, and hurriedly grabbed Li Jing, and said softly: "If aunt really has this meaning, then you can ask the fourth sister." If he had been willing, I would have been very happy. ”
Seeing Lin Wei's heart-warming appearance, Li Jing couldn't help but laugh. immediately returned to Han's side and reported Lin Wei's willingness to do so. Han Shi pondered for a while and said, "Since you think it's appropriate to be an elder brother, then I won't think about it anymore." I'm going to ask the fourth sister, if I can do this, it will be good. ”
After a while, Han went back and forth and nodded to Li Jing. "The dead woman seems to be willing, and she said that since her brother and A-Niang think it is good, we will make the decision for her. You go and talk to the Lin brothers, let them hire a matchmaker, and choose a date to decide. ”
Li Jing told Lin Wei about the result in the past, and Lin Wei couldn't close his mouth with joy. Lin Wu saw that a few people had been mysteriously coming over to ask, and Li Jing told him about this good thing, and he immediately became excited. The two brothers of the Lin family had married relatives and had wives and children in Chang'an, but unfortunately they were framed and their families were ruined, and even the two brothers almost died. Later, although he broke his family and saved his life, he became a homeless bachelor. Seeing that the brothers are about to turn 30, but there is no one in the house, they all say that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. Now that he sees that his brother has finally found a suitable one, how can he be unhappy.
Lin Wu's big mouth immediately told everyone who was shouting about the matter, and Cui Zhen also jumped out at this time and shouted loudly to be a matchmaker. Li Jing only hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to Cui Decheng's old and rough matchmaker.
As for the fat man Zhang Kuguan, he was completely forgotten by Li Jing, and Cui Zhen made it clear that he actually wanted Li Jing's subordinates to spare the life of his brother-in-law Zhang Kuguan. It is said that people respect one foot and I will be one foot. Cui Zhen said so many good things, and took the initiative to put down his rank and befriend Li Jing, Li Jing couldn't really be uninteresting, and he had to do something wrong with that fat man?
If Li Jing really disregarded Cui Zhenjiang's feelings and wanted to kill Zhang Fatzi, it is conceivable that he and Cui Zhenjiang will turn against each other is very likely. The reason for the story of Li Sheng, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, and another general turning their faces into enmity is not because of a camp prostitute.
What's more, General Cui Zhen also beat the fat man, and announced in front of Li Jing that he would drive the fat man out of Ziqing Town, and he would not be allowed to set foot in the territory of Ziqing Five Prefectures in this life, so as not to stain Li Jing's eyes. In addition, the fat man was greedy for Li Jing's 100 acres of land, but Cui Zhen handed over a contract of 1,000 acres of fertile land near Wang Li Village to Li Jing today.
The 1,000 acres of land was originally the tuntian of Chishan Military Town, and later became Cui Decheng's private land. Now Cui Decheng took this as an apology, and returned with a companion to allocate this 1,000 acres of paddy fields to Li Jing. When things came to this point, Li Jing also accepted this apology with a smile. A thousand acres of land is indeed a lot, but Li Jing doesn't take these too seriously. Accepting this piece of land is just to tell Cui Decheng that the little estrangement between the two brought by Zhang Kuguan has completely passed.
If he doesn't accept it, it means that he still has this matter in his heart, and if he accepts it, he will really be a family under Cui Yunqing from now on.
Zhang Fatzi slammed his head to Li Jing and Li Mu and others more than a dozen times as if he had been amnesty, and his head was dripping with blood.
If it weren't for the fact that his sister-in-law was young and beautiful and was favored by General Cui Zhen, and gave birth to two sons, with General Cui Zhen's temper, how could he bow his head to a person who gave him a low official position? After sparing his life, Zhang Hong crawled out of the Li family. Along the way, he didn't even dare to stop for half a step back to Chishan Town, and then rode away from Chishan Town on horseback that day, leaving Wendeng, leaving Dengzhou, leaving Ziqing Town, and for the rest of his life, he would never dare to return to Ziqing Town for half a step.
