Chapter 431: Welcome Spring Marriage

Daiyu received Wang Xifeng's post and wanted to help Yingchun. The Jia family has reached the countdown stage to confiscate the house, and this may be the last chance for Yingchun.

"Brother, can this matter be done?"

"Shall I call him over and ask? As long as his parents don't object, there should be no problem." Wang Tingxuan replied.

He remembered that when he was drinking with Miao Zhonglei, Miao Zhonglei said that his childhood dream was to marry a maid from Rongguo Mansion. At that time, Rongguo Mansion had just begun to decline, and the maids in the mansion were better than ordinary people.

All ladies must be dignified.

Miao Zhonglei came very quickly, coming the next day after sending him the post.

"Boss, can you do me a favor and transfer me to the East China Sea Fleet?"

"Why do you want to go there?"

"Hehe. Who doesn't know that the East China Sea Fleet is strong and well-paid? Don't they all say that the dowry from Nan'an Palace was divided by the East China Sea Fleet?"

The dowry prepared by the Nan'an Palace was indeed divided, but most of it was in the hands of the two princes.

The rumor was divided, but it was just to silence the nobles. I really thought that the emperor would let the Nan'an Palace go and not allow them to provide military pension money.

"You are not short of money now, so stay in the capital honestly. There will be opportunities for you to fight in the future. I asked you to come here this time because of other things. Jia Lian plans to make you his brother-in-law, what do you think?"

"The boss is talking about the second girl in the first house who is called a wooden person?"

Miao Zhonglei lived not far from Rongguo Mansion, so of course the affairs in their mansion could not be hidden from him.

After thinking for a while, Miao Zhonglei asked: "I don't have any objections, it's just that I'm worried about the Jia family's problems."

"You don't have to worry about the Jia family's affairs. The last time we paid back the owed money, it was Jia She who took the lead. The emperor has always kept it in mind, and he will definitely be lenient when the time comes."

"Then I have no problem."

"Aren't you worried about reputation?" Wang Tingxuan was a little surprised by Miao Zhonglei's straightforwardness.

"The second girl in Rongguo Mansion doesn't have a bad reputation. She just needs to be filial to her parents. Besides, if she can ask the county master to help arrange the marriage, I think the second girl is good."

Wang Tingxuan also understood Miao Zhonglei's inner calculation. If Yingchun and Daiyu had a good relationship, their relationship would not be broken.

"You go back and discuss it with your parents. If you really agree to this marriage, go to Jia Lian to propose marriage."

Nothing happened. The two families exchanged notes in a very low-key manner, and then began to prepare for the wedding.

Jia Mu was not informed of Yingchun's marriage until it was finalized. Jia Mu was not satisfied with the choice and scolded Jia She in tears.

Jia She didn't refute, and just listened to Jia Mu's scoldings expressionlessly. He had some guesses about Jia Mu's arrangements for Yingchun. If Jia Mu's plan was followed, Yingchun would either be sent to the palace or go to the palace.

Give birth to a son for Yuanchun; or be given to another family for marriage, and the possibility of becoming a concubine is greater.

But Jia She didn't dare to accept any family that Jia Mu could like. He was really frightened by Jia Mu's choice.

However, it was said that the negotiating team sent by the imperial court from the Qianxiang Kingdom had also arrived, and the two parties officially started negotiations.

Qianxiangguo's attitude is quite good. Following the previous routine, he is ready to give in. He hopes that the court will ignore the past grievances and help them save the people.

Unfortunately, the court's negotiation strategy this time left them completely dumbfounded.

Not only did the imperial court not reward them, but instead asked them to compensate for their losses. The emperor set a bottom line in the court and left the rest to the negotiating team.

The emperor also knew that many ministers in the court did not agree with his policies, so he gave the mission a benefit. For the portion exceeding 100 million taels of silver, the mission could receive one-tenth of it as a reward.

As soon as this benefit came out, the number of places in the mission became very popular. Only a fool would oppose the emperor's policy if he could receive the reward in a fair and just manner and bring glory to the country.

There were only a few rotten scholars left who threatened to resign, hoping that the emperor would take back the order. The emperor was also impatient with these stubborn rotten scholars, so he directly approved their concessions, and the candidates for succession were arranged. As for three resignations and three concessions,

The emperor is not in the mood to play with them.

Regarding this negotiation, the four princes and eight princes did not give up, and directly pushed out the Dongping County Prince. Their purpose was also very simple, to control the military power of the South China Sea Fleet as much as possible, and even if they could not control it, they would still support their own people in it.

.

The idea was a good one, but it was a pity that the emperor would not give them any chance. In the end, the person sent to negotiate was Chen Jie, the emperor’s confidant for many years, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was a staunch war fighter and was very eloquent.

He is also not pedantic, and sometimes he is even more rogue than King Zhongshun.

Chen Jie faithfully carried out negotiations according to the emperor's instructions, and even pulled out the prisoners of Qianxiang Kingdom, clearly marked the price, and asked Qianxiang Kingdom to redeem them.

Chen Jie also allowed the captured Qianxiang Kingdom personnel to write letters home. Whether it was the Qianxiang Kingdom or their families, as long as they paid the money, they could leave. Those who did not pay the money could only participate in labor service.

According to past practice, you can get a lot of benefits every time you fight against the imperial court. If your family doesn't have any strength, you won't be able to grab such an opportunity.

Those letters were sent to the capital of Qianxiang Kingdom, and the dignitaries forced the king to agree to the court's request. They were unwilling to give up the money, so they paid the port and customs duties.

The reason why they are so happy is because Qianxiang Kingdom has no intention of executing it at all. According to the news from the secret guards, they sent many people with a large amount of property to prepare to lobby the court officials.

The emperor who received the news didn't care at all. He also wanted to see who would not be able to withstand the temptation.

The Xue family is still living in the Jia family, and they couldn't sit still when they heard the news that the eldest brother was preparing for the Spring Festival wedding. Although the situation of the second house was not good, Baochai had already changed ties with Baoyu, so there was no way out.

In today's family, Xue Pan has never stopped after marrying Xia Jingui. Aunt Xue and Baochai can't deal with Xia Jingui even if they work together.

The Xue family and the Xia family are actually evenly matched. The advantage of the Xue family is that they have Wang Ziteng, an uncle of a first-class official. After Xia Jingui married into the Xue family and figured out the situation, she really couldn't bear this tone.

Who would have thought that the Xue family's inner pocket was already empty. Most of the family's money was lent to the Jia family, but the Jia family could not afford to pay it back.

"I always say that I have no rules and am not worthy of your family. I really think that I am still the great Xue in Fengnian. No matter how bad our family is, sweeping the cracks on the floor is enough for your family to eat. I have never heard of anyone

In order to marry their daughter, the family emptied all their wealth and gave it to others."

When they heard this, the Xue family's mother and daughter wanted to faint to avoid being embarrassed.

Wang Xifeng originally regarded the Xue family's affairs as a joke, but after hearing this, her face turned red. Who told her to say such things to Jia Lian in the first place?
