Two days later, the Chen family had another quarrel because Chen Xiuyun had returned home three times.
Chen Xiuyun insisted not to go back. She was afraid that her family expected her to become a concubine to earn money for the family, but she ended up getting married like this. I don't know how angry she was.
If Liu Zhaofei takes her back at this time, he doesn't know what will happen.
But Liu Zhaofei insisted on going back, "Marrying you is just a trick. They are your natal family, so we can't stop seeing each other in the future. Besides, today is the day for you to go back, so you have to go back."
Chen Xiuyun said, "Then no matter what my family says, don't take it to heart, they... they are like that."
"I know."
When they arrived at Chen's house, they found that Chen Zhongda was at home. There was no holiday in the academy today. Liu Zhaofei had asked for leave, but Chen Zhongda had also asked for leave.
Yang didn't expect that Chen Xiuyun would dare to come back, and she focused on Chen Zhongda, "Son, why don't you go to school? Go, study hard, and become a high official in the future so that my mother can enjoy the blessings."
Chen Zhongda didn't speak, just looked outside. He didn't feel relieved until he saw it.
If Liu Zhaofei is afraid of trouble and acts like a coward, then he has misjudged the person.
But Liu Zhaofei came back with Xiuyun, carrying several gifts, and all the rules were followed, which is good.
"Mom, Xiuyun has returned home."
Yang also looked outside, and suddenly became very angry, "How dare you come back, this damn girl actually dares to come back, let's see if I don't beat her to death!"
She quickly went into the house and told Mrs. Wu that both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were looking for fire sticks.
Chen Zhongda said, "This is the marriage I have favored for Xiuyun. Do you think it's bad?"
Wu said, "What's better? Can he help you with your scientific examination or something like that?"
"Grandma hopes that I will pass the exam so that you can live a good life, so why do you think my brother-in-law failed the exam? Maybe he will become a high official in the future, and his knowledge is no worse than mine."
Wu didn't believe it and curled his lips, "It's not that easy to get fame. I'm just a poor scholar and will be poor all my life."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door. Yang didn't want to open the door for them, so Chen Zhongda took the initiative to open it and greeted them with a smile.
This time Chen Zhongda took advantage of his position in the hearts of the family. He knew that his grandfather would not do anything when it came to him, so he dared to cooperate with Lin Yuxi and be so bold.
Over the years, the family has treated Xiuyun a lot because of him. This time, he will repay his sister and let her marry the man she wants.
Chen Zhongda looked enthusiastic. Mr. Yang cared about his son the most, so it was hard to get angry.
Wu went to the house and called Chen Mingyi to come out. He lay on the bed and pretended not to hear. Because of this, he was so angry that he was bedridden now.
Chen Mingyi didn't come out, Chen Hongchang wasn't at home, and only Wu and Yang came out to say a few words, so we couldn't expect much better attitudes.
"What about scholars? Scholars lie to other girls? If you can't get a wife, you rely on cheating. Which academy are you from? I want to ask the gentleman at your academy how you teach." Mrs. Wu cursed.
Liu Zhaofei said, "Grandma, I am from Yueshan Academy, and I paid a betrothal gift to marry Xiuyun. I am not cheating."
Wu was originally thinking about which small academy he belonged to, and she must have said something to make it difficult for him to live in the academy.
But I didn't expect that he was from Yueshan Academy, so it would be difficult to cause trouble.
Yueshan Academy is not a place where ordinary people dare to make trouble, and Zhongda is still studying there, so it is inappropriate to cause trouble.
When Mrs. Yang heard Liu Zhaofei say that he was from Yueshan Academy, he was a little satisfied with him, "Is he really from Yueshan Academy? Then your family should still be able to get money, right? Your betrothal gift is too small, so you need to make up for it."
Chen Xiuyun said, "Mom, how can there be such a truth? The betrothal gift should be as much as it should be, not to mention that it is quite a lot."
The betrothal gifts totaled more than ten taels of silver. Considering the conditions of the Liu family, they had plundered everything they could.
"Why is it so much? You are originally worth a hundred taels of silver." Yang snorted.
Chen Xiuyun was married, and she spoke more forcefully, "I'm not here to be sold, mother. Now that I'm married, I don't want to say those words anymore."
Yang wanted to say something else, but Chen Zhongda interrupted him directly and pulled Liu Zhaofei over to talk, as if the two brothers were in good company.
Although the Chen family had a bad attitude, as long as Chen Zhongda was there, nothing went wrong. However, Wu and Yang cursed a few times and attracted many people to watch the fun.
Liu Zhaofei and Chen Xiuyun went back in the afternoon, and Chen Xiuyun felt relieved. It seemed that the family had no plans to do anything, and could only suffer a dull loss.
Chen Mingyi said not to publicize it outside, so Wu and Yang didn't want to scold them too harshly outside. They have changed their words in the past few days, saying that they were originally destined for the Liu family, but they were stingy and didn't give enough betrothal gifts.
.
After resting at home for a few days, Chen Mingyi came to his senses and remembered that there was still someone he had not found, Manager Wang.
It was Manager Wang who was the one who pulled the strings in the first place, and they gave them twenty taels of silver. The money was still in their hands. Why didn't Manager Wang come and ask for the money?
Chen Mingyi still had some sense, and felt that there was something fishy about this matter. When he felt better, he went to the Wei family to find Manager Wang.
Steward Wang didn't want to see him at first, but Steward Wei greeted him in advance and asked him to take care of the Chen family, so he had to ask Chen Mingyi to wait in the teahouse, and he went later.
"Brother Chen, I can't decide what happens this time."
Chen Mingyi said, "I just want to ask what happened. It was clearly agreed upon, but why did Xiuyun enter the Liu family again when he carried Xiuyun to the Wei family that day? Because of this incident, we are now completely in disgrace.
Lose face."
"Hey, this is a coincidence. When I took a fancy to your granddaughter, I thought she looked like the deceased second lady and wanted to sell her well in front of the second master."
"Unexpectedly, our steward Wei accidentally saw another girl from your village. That one looks more alike. They can't be carried in together. How dare I compete with steward Wei, so this job falls to him.
It’s on my head.”
"Then why did my granddaughter marry the Liu family again? Butler Wei came with the marriage certificate and betrothal gift that day. He had already prepared for it." Chen Mingyi asked.
Manager Wang answered vaguely, "I don't know about this, but it seems to be related to your grandson. The Liu family boy is Madam Wei's distant nephew and your grandson's classmate. Your grandson knows about this.
"
When it came to Chen Zhongda, Chen Mingyi had no choice. No matter what, he could not point his finger at Chen Zhongda and scold him.
Manager Wang probed, "The twenty taels of silver..."
Chen Mingyi narrowed his eyes and said, "We have agreed on this matter. In the end, you didn't make it happen, and it caused my granddaughter to marry someone who didn't know the details. I can't refund the twenty taels of silver to you."
