Hearing that the Jia family wanted to see their daughter as their eldest daughter-in-law, Li Shouzhong was quite happy at first. Although he was reserved and calm, he did not express rejection. But when the Qingke who came to negotiate an agreement told him the details, Li Shouzhong's expression changed.

His attitude changed and his attitude immediately became cold.

"The Rongguo Mansion is full of nobles. Our Li family is from a small family. Our daughter is a poor girl in Jingchai and a sarong. She has little talent and looks, and is really not worthy of the young master of the Duke's Mansion. Qi Dafei, please be kind to me."

The host family will choose a lady from a well-known family, who will be the best of both sexes!" After Li Shouzhong finished speaking, he politely but firmly raised the tea cup to express his intention to see off the guests.

"Master, weren't you quite willing before? Why did you suddenly change your attitude?" Seeing the Qing guest leaving dejectedly, Mrs. Li felt confused and couldn't help but ask.

"Humph, I was misled by that fellow Zhan Guang!" Li Shouzhong replied angrily: "Rongguo Mansion is really an unruly family, how can this eldest daughter-in-law scream? I thought he was talking about the eldest son's eldest daughter-in-law.

Well, that would be a suitable one. The grandson of the Zhang family, a well-known and scholarly family, has lived with the Zhang family for a long time. He must have a good upbringing. At a young age, he has already been admitted to the Juren Examination and gained a great reputation. No matter whether he inherits it or not in the future.

Even if the title of the Jia family is limited, there is no need to worry about those who have no clear future. My grandfather and uncle will definitely try their best to help."

"The reputation of Rongguo Mansion is not good. More than ten years ago, in order to choose a son-in-law for the legitimate daughter, there was a big fuss about the Lin family and the Sun family. I heard about it in Jinling at that time, and all the civil servants in the government and the public were angry.

After attacking together, even if the emperor was partial, Rong Guogong was able to escape unscathed, but he was still in disgrace! Although the turmoil subsided later, the civil servants have since made a mark on Rong Guofu, and no one wants to see him!

"

"I hesitated at first, but it's different when I think about the grandson of the Zhang family! Everyone knows what happened to the Zhang family. The daughter of the Zhang family separated from her husband and took her son to fulfill her filial piety at the knees of her old father. Ordinarily,

Such a thing is very inappropriate in a scholarly family, but everyone remained silent. The elder brother of the Zhang family is still an official in the court, and the censors did not write a letter to impeach, which shows that people's support is against them. In the future, the Zhang family's grandson and civil servants

We will also treat them as our own people!”

"Unexpectedly, it was Jia Zhu, the son of his second wife Jia Zheng, who Zhan Guang came to make peace with!" Li Shouzhong said angrily: "Jia Zheng has no fame, he is just a fifth-grade Yuanwailang who relies on his ancestors to work in the Ministry of Industry.

He is still holding the banner of the Duke's Mansion, and he doesn't even think about whether this honor belongs to his room. He is simply occupying the magpie's nest! If Jia Zhu hadn't come from the Imperial Academy, he might not have been able to pass the examination as a scholar.

What to study? By the way, shouldn’t there be only one Imperial College quota in his generation? How could it be his turn?”

"Haha, he must have robbed his cousin too, right? Like father, like son!" Li Shouzhong therefore had a bad opinion of Jia Zhu. He was a person who adhered to ethical rules. In his opinion, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu's actions

Come on, that's trespassing and has a bad heart!

"What a pity, that is the Duke's Mansion after all!" Mrs. Li still felt a little reluctant to part with the luxury and wealth of the Duke's Mansion. She hoped that her daughter could live a happy life. Although the Li family was a noble and civil servant, it was not considered

Too rich, just enough food and clothing, but no longer able to enjoy the same enjoyment as a wealthy family. What happens to Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu is also an internal matter of the Jia family. What's more, the Jia family is no longer as good as before, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the country

In her opinion, the palace is still a very prominent and aloof place.

At the beginning, the Lin family could be aloof and indifferent and not tempted by the Jia family. How could the Li family compare with their own conditions? Mrs. Li also thought of her son. He had been away from home for many years, and now he was just a

I am a colleague who wants to do some work in the civil service department, find a good job, or transfer him to another

After entering the capital, the Li family couldn't afford much money. The master can't compare with the Imperial Academy in the capital to offer wine! But if the rich man marries into the Rongguo Mansion, wouldn't he be able to help his mother's family? Why should the master care so much?

, even in the inner courtyard of the palace, aren’t there many shady things going on?

Listening to Mrs. Li's tactful thoughts, Li Shouzhong shook his head: "What a woman's opinion! You are trying to harm me!"

He analyzed it in detail for her: "Back then, the Rongguo Mansion tried every possible means to marry the daughter of the Zhang family, but as soon as the Zhang family was in trouble, the Zhang family became bedridden. If it hadn't been for the Lin family affairs that attracted criticism from civil servants, I'm afraid it would have happened long ago.

Died of illness. The Jia family is so ruthless, how dare you marry your daughter into it, aren't you afraid of making the same mistake as the Zhang family?"

"Don't even think about it. Our family is not a rich and powerful family. We raised our daughter in a boudoir and never appeared in public. Even if you would take her out, you would definitely not have any interaction with the Jia family. How could they think of asking to marry a daughter?

Son?"

"Then, what are they planning?"

"I guess they probably took a fancy to my status as a Jiujiuer in the Imperial Academy of Jinling, and I can still be used in the scholar circles. There are always some classmates in the same year, and there are also a few promising students, although they can't help Jia Zhu get ahead.

, but Jia Zhu did

After marrying my son-in-law, I will slowly be able to get closer to the scholars. If I rely on the basic connections in Rongguo Mansion and run some operations, I might not be able to change the family. In the beginning, when Rongguo Gong caused such a big disturbance, the reason was not

For this?"

"But if the Jia family marries Wan'er, but finds that we can't give Jia Zhu as much help as they thought, then what will Wan'er be in? Compared with the Zhang family's reputation and reputation, the Li family

In terms of background, it is even worse than the Zhang family!"

"Well, the Jia family isn't like this, is it?" Mrs. Li was so frightened that her heart jumped and her voice trembled slightly.

"Madam, you think too kindly of those martial arts! Moreover, if the Jia family has such a reputation, if the Li family gets married to them, they will be regarded by the scholars as villains who cling to wealth, and they will lose their face for the rest of their lives.

, my son will be affected by it in the future!" Li Shouzhong made the final decision: "Whether it is true or not, the Li family will not marry the Jia family anyway, no matter what they think!"

"By the way, buy some elegant and fashionable clothes for Wan'er, and take her out to meet people more often. I'll also ask people to inquire. It's time for us to give Wan'er a good look, so as not to let the Jia family worry about it anymore.

If you don’t let go, it will be really bad luck!”

Li Shouzhong was the head of the family and was quite dignified in the family. Mrs. Li had always been submissive to her husband. When her husband said this, she gave up the idea of ​​further discussions with the Jia family and concentrated on showing Li Wanxiang her family.

A few months later, Li Shouzhong's old friend recommended a candidate to him. A magistrate who resigned because of his mother's filial piety and was recently reinstated. His second son also missed a provincial examination because of his father's filial piety and failed this time.

, I had to win the imperial examination, and then I had time to talk about marriage.

The young man was several years older than Li Wan and had a good character. Li Shouzhong went to meet him in person, and they had a very pleasant conversation and was very satisfied. The prefect's wife also took the opportunity of a party to meet Li Wan's mother and daughter.

, I looked at each other and thought they looked good. They were of similar appearance and both of their families were civil servants, so they matched well.

As a rule, the second son will not receive much property, but the prefect's wife has said that she will use her private house to supplement it. Li Shouzhong doesn't care much about this, and the Li family is not really poor. A scholarly home, uploaded by Guang Nazu

The calligraphy, painting and antiques he collected are also quite valuable. The rich and the poor only care about who they compare with. He will prepare more dowry for Li Wan and buy some land and shops, so that the young couple can live a harmonious life.

, Wan'er is not that kind of person who is greedy for vanity. The key is that if the child is successful, the daughter will naturally have a phoenix crown and beautiful pei.

Isn’t this a match made in heaven!

The two families talked smoothly and secretly arranged for their children to see each other without meeting each other. Both families were satisfied. Not long after, the marriage was tentatively decided and the long ceremony began.

"The spring breeze of peaches and plums has finished bearing fruit. In the end, they are like a pot of orchids. Like ice water, they are jealous of each other. It is useless to joke with others!"

"The kindness in the mirror is more worthy of the fame in the dream! How quickly those beautiful years passed! Never mention the embroidered tent or mandarin duck quilt again. Just a crown of pearls and a phoenix coat are not worth the impermanence of life. Even if it is, life is unbearable.

Even when you grow old and become poor, you also need to be in trouble!" - "Late Shaohua"

The leprosy-headed monk and the lame Taoist looked at Li Wan's verdict and music in the book in their hands, and wanted to cry without tears. Li Wan had already been married to someone else, and she was one of the twelve golden hairpins.

Si''s woman, according to the original arrangement, she was supposed to be Jia Zhu's wife!

Her fate was inexplicably reversed. What should she do? It seemed that after Lin Xuefeng came to this world, many things had changed unknowingly. It was really hateful! But they couldn't treat Lin Xuefeng now.

What's wrong with the Lin family? The greater their contribution to this world, the more merit they will have. Even the Fairy Jing Huan doesn't dare to take action against them. But they have a mission, and they can't explain it!

The monks together thought of ways to break up the marriage, but the two families had their horoscopes calculated by a famous eminent monk in the capital. It was very auspicious that they could grow old together, have a smooth life, and have many children and blessings. Both families were very happy about this.

It’s difficult!

This monk first went to Li's house and preached that Li Wan and Jia Zhu were destined to be together in the previous life, and that matching with the prefect's son would mess up the destiny. Please think twice and don't do this.

Li Shouzhong was immediately furious. He was a disciple of Confucianism. Although he would burn incense and worship Buddha and the Three Pure Ones on occasion, he had always stayed away from the witchcraft that pretended to be gods and ghosts. At this moment, the two monks and Taoists came to the door and made nonsense, trying to break up his daughter.

A good marriage is really abominable!

Look at these two people, they are all dirty and filthy, how can they look like serious monks? As the saying goes: I would rather demolish a temple than break up a marriage! Could it be that they have a grudge against the Li family? I contacted someone from the Jia family a few days ago to tell them.

After the marriage, Li Shouzhong suddenly realized. Oh, it must be the Jia family who wanted to ruin the marriage between the two families!

Li Shouzhong was furious and immediately ordered his subordinates to beat out the bad guy who pretended to be a member of his family, and then sent someone to the magistrate's house to report him in detail. If these two people thought of going to the prospective in-laws to instigate slander, wouldn't it make them feel bad?

After receiving the news from the Li family, the prefect had something to worry about. He had been a local official for many years, so he was more capable and experienced than Li Shouzhong. When the monk came to the door together, the prefect ignored the two people's chatter.

My advice is to first ask the two of them for an ultimatum. All serious monks have an ultimatum issued by the imperial court as proof.

What, no? Then you two are strangers to me and the Li family, so why are you specifically concerned about the marriage of our children? We are not that prominent, right? What are your intentions? Are you being instigated by others?

Don't tell the truth? Well, you pretend to be family members and become officials to deceive others, pretend to be gods and ghosts, and have evil intentions. I don't know who they are. Come here, tie up these two people, send them to the government, and report them truthfully!

When a scholar encounters a soldier, he can't explain why! If the magician is sent to the government, the consequences will be dire! If he is treated as a monster and taken to the court, a pot of black dog's blood will be poured on him later, and he will be blinded. They are not a police fantasy.

Fairies like that are just spirits. It seems right to say that they are monsters.

While being shouted and tied up by the servants, and on the way to the government, the monks saw that the situation was not good, and before the black dog's blood could get to him, they used magic to escape.

This commotion happened in broad daylight, and many people saw it, and everyone immediately started to marvel and make a noise. To find out the root cause, both families chose to remain silent in order not to cause trouble, reasoning that the two people were just good at martial arts.

The liar was caught and sent to the police, and fled on the road.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. There are a lot of rumors circulating in private. In order to dissuade their son from getting married, the Rongguo Mansion sent people to perform evil spells to retaliate. However, they did not succeed. Instead, they were exposed by the two families!

My brother's brother-in-law works as an errand in the house of the prefect of Qi, and he saw it with his own eyes

In the mouths of these people, this monk slowly evolved from a disguised monk to a monster. If he was not a monster, how could he disappear so quickly when the rope was around him, right? Just two people like that

With his ugly and dirty appearance, what is he other than a monster? Is he probably a leper?

They came to cause trouble between the two families because they wanted to break up a good marriage. What kind of marriage? My sister's sister-in-law sent fabrics to Li Ji Restaurant that day, she said.

Ah, it's Rongguo Mansion again! The second wife of the Jia family really has the arrogant demeanor of the old Mr. Guo, but he doesn't have any of his abilities, tsk tsk!

Unknowingly, Feng Ping was killed again by the Jia family!
Chapter completed!
