It was said that Yao'er's eldest brother had fallen in love with the niece of the Eighth Prince. After hearing this, Jia Cong thought about it for a quarter of an hour and shouted: "Lan Xiang, go and invite the master over. Read at midnight." Then he said to Yao'er, "The soldiers are coming to stop us." , water comes and earth covers you, go to my house to discuss with Yi Zhi first."
The two of them went straight to the door of Gong Kun's house, knocked on the door and called him out, and the three of them returned to Jia Cong's house together.
After waiting for half a day, Jia She slowly strolled over, which was very helpful to him. Every child in the courtyard called him "general", so the old man smiled. He walked into the room, coughed, and pretended to ask: "What's the matter?"
Jia Cong said: "There is some trouble." Then Yao'er and I talked about the matter from the beginning.
Jia She said: "Since the eldest son likes to marry, it's just a woman. After entering the Jia family, she is just the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. How can she have her say in everything? What do you think you want to do?" "
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Dad, the fourth uncle is the most important person in our large circle of people. His eldest daughter-in-law, forgive me to be honest, it is best if she is one of our own. If she is not one of our own, she is also He must be someone who can be roped in."
Jia She hummed: "How about you compare with Mrs. Da?"
Jia Cong said: "It can't be compared. The eldest wife has no children, and her father already had a second brother when she entered the family." Jia She was also stunned. He added, "The eldest brother likes her more and more. It’s different from the eldest wife. Dad, why don’t you think about your ancestors.”
Jia She suddenly had a vein on his forehead: "No way!"
Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "It's just that we can't beat the mandarin ducks with a stick. How can we attack the eldest brother? How can we attack the eldest brother? Do you want to see him frowning and losing his mind all day long?"
Jia She was worried for a moment, and after a while he said, "Just find a good wife for him. I'll ask Mr. Gong."
Jia Cong hurriedly turned around and asked, "Didn't Yi Zhi tell your third uncle about this?"
Gong Kun said: "I haven't said anything yet, but now that Fourth Master Jia knows about it, I can't hide it from him for a long time."
Jia Cong said: "You can hide it for a while. Don't let him interfere in anything related to emotions. The old man's three views are too different from ours. He will definitely recommend making more and more chaos to fish in troubled waters and never care about this kind of mess." Isn’t it uncomfortable for the master to be halfway through?”
Gong Kun glanced at him and asked, "What about you?"
Jia Cong said: "I am used to digging a diversion canal to divert the water to another place and then catch it. Now there are only two ways, either to try to get the eldest brother out of this hole, or to get his family into the gang."
Gong Kun said with a smile: "Although Third Master is young, he always understands the most."
Jia Cong chuckled twice: "Yes, I am Tang Seng on Xitian Road. Although I have no ability, I know where to go best."
Jia She slapped him casually.
The four of them discussed the matter behind closed doors for half a day, and it was not until lunch that the matter was finally settled.
In the afternoon, Yao'er and Wu Xiaoxi went to Li's house. When Li's father saw Yao'er coming again, he was a little surprised. Yao'er said with a smile: "I brought a girl over and wanted to meet Li's sister. I don't know if Li's father Sir, are you willing?"
Li's father had also been a scholar in his early years. Seeing that his son was polite and courteous, and his little sister also had a well-behaved look, he liked him quite a lot. As expected, he called his wife and led him across the stream.
Yao'er then said to Li's father: "To be honest, my father really doesn't dare to enter into this marriage, but my mother likes it very much. I hope you won't bother me and come to visit again and again."
Li's father shook his head and said, "I knew about this a long time ago, so I tried not to let them discuss the horoscopes before."
Yao'er praised: "It turns out that Sir suppressed this matter sincerely! Sure enough, wherever there is oppression, there is resistance."
Although Li's father didn't know the reason, he also knew that what Yao'er said was good, so he said with a smile: "It's best if we end it as soon as possible."
The two of them spent half a day talking without saying a word, both waiting for the letter from Miss Li and Xiaoxi later.
On the other side, Wu Xiaoxi saw Miss Li and immediately understood that his eldest brother would fall in love with her because of Yao'er. This woman was extremely beautiful. Xiaoxi had always seen Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing, and she was also a beauty, so she just ignored her. If she were an ordinary man, he would see her at first sight.
I am afraid that this girl is very easy to fall in love with. She bowed to Miss Li and said bluntly: "Sister Li, I have been entrusted by someone. Please tell me the truth."
Miss Li hurriedly returned the gift, and with a bit of shame, she lowered her head and sat on the edge of the kang, rubbing her skirt.
Xiao Xi said: "I wonder how my sister and my eldest brother met?"
After half a day, Miss Li said: "It was just a chance encounter while shopping."
Xiaoxi said: "I guess someone asked you to wait for him somewhere, and you met Te Te by chance?"
Miss Li blushed with embarrassment.
Xiaoxi added: "It's just that now that this matter has been exposed, I don't think this marriage can be concluded."
Miss Li's eyes immediately turned red, and she waited for a long time before saying, "I really have a crush on him."
Xiaoxi looked at her a little pitifully and said, "My eldest brother has also fallen in love with you. Even if you are still destined to be together, you definitely can't get married like this."
Miss Li quickly asked: "Why?"
Xiaoxi said: "Because it was you who set him up when you two met. He and his whole family were unhappy, so they forced themselves to get married. At first, they just paid it off, but after two years there was a bump in the road. They
Definitely...definitely..." She thought for a long time and suddenly blushed, "I forgot what to say next."
Miss Li couldn't help but smile when she saw that she spoke like an adult at such a young age, so she guessed that she had learned it by heart.
Xiaoxi became more and more embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "Anyway, what they wanted in the end was that if they still force the marriage if they have troubles in their hearts, I'm afraid Sister Li will suffer a lot in the future and suffer endless hardships. What if the elder brother has something to do with it?"
If you don't care about other things, your life will be over."
Miss Li was shocked: "What other thoughts does he have?"
Xiaoxi said: "Zuo is just marrying a little wife or something."
Miss Li blurted out: "Don't the men in your family not marry young wives?"
Xiaoxi was stunned: "How can this happen? Why doesn't my brother marry a young wife? In the past, my family was just poor and couldn't afford to marry. Now my family's situation is gradually getting better..."
Miss Li was anxious: "They told me clearly that the children of the Jia family are only good to their wives."
Xiaoxi immediately understood that the gossip they usually said casually about not taking concubines in the future was brought to the attention of the Eighth Prince. Then he hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it's a misinformation, there are two young masters in the Jia family who are concubines, so
They themselves were raised by their aunts, and they suffered a lot before they said they didn't want a little wife in the future."
Miss Li was stunned again.
Xiaoxi continued: "So if Sister Li still has her heart for Big Brother, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it this time. If it's just for the sake of reputation, we can wait a little longer and find a good excuse to end this matter. It seems that
We are destined." She sincerely said that her face was like noodles, but pretended to be sullen.
Miss Li smiled bitterly and said: "Where can I go to find fate in the future?" She lowered her head and shed tears.
Xiaoxi said: "Sister Li, you should say now that if you do this, it's not like you can't get married, so you can just make a clean break."
Miss Li burst into tears after listening to her sharp childish words. After a while, she said: "My aunt actually sent someone to lead me to wait there that day, but..."
Xiaoxi couldn't bear it anymore and said: "I believe you, but that Eighth Prince is too clever, and our whole family doesn't dare to mess with him. Who can say for sure about fate? If you two are really destined, even if they are born,
Even in the enemy's house, we can finally reach a place."
Although Miss Li meant to say that the prince was an aristocrat of the Tian family, she thought to herself, since he is an aristocrat of the Tian family, why would he need to scheme against others to seek marriage? She swallowed it down, but she still looked forward to another fate in the future.
The Li family was temporarily comforted, and they thought they would not get into trouble again. On the other side, Jia Si told the eldest son that "encounters on the street are meant to be calculated by others", and then said: "Your mother likes that girl very much, so I think
Let's let this matter dry beforehand and see again in two years. We can't let one knot weigh on our whole family and make us unhappy. After two years, when the matter has cooled down, if the two families are still interested, they can quietly renew their relationship.
"His son really admired the woman, even though he felt sad, because his father said he would see her again in two years, so there was hope.
Jia Si felt a little uneasy, so he turned back to Jia She and said, "Does this silly boy really believe that he can make it in two years?"
Jia She said: "The two of them just met on the street. The love that comes and goes quickly. In my opinion, there are not many beauties that we usually meet. It's better to let him do his thing. I don't believe it."
Later, he still remembered the woman. If he really still remembers her, we can try to break off the relationship between her family and the Li family and marry her back. It will probably not be difficult for Mr. Gong to do this."
Jia Sinai asked: "Can't we try to end it now?"
Jia She smiled and said: "Fourth brother, if you care, you will be confused. Just think about it, will the Li family be willing to break up with them now?"
Jia Si suddenly realized: "Yes, I forgot about this." He asked Jia Cong if he was back.
Jia She shook his head: "Not yet, I probably went to someone else's house to get some food."
But Jia Cong went to the Eighth Prince's house blatantly. Because the servants in their house had already received the order, but anyone who came from the Rongguo House was treated well, Jia Cong didn't get rejected and went in smoothly. But when he got inside, the Eighth Prince had no time to talk to him.
He was just left in a small room. Jia Cong was not bored. While eating snacks, he asked someone to find a story book for him to read. I don’t know how long he waited, but he almost finished reading the story book. Finally, the Eighth Prince
He walked in with a smile.
Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the Eighth Prince said: "I thought it was Jia Lian, but why is it you?"
Jia Cong said: "The second brother's coming is too conspicuous. Besides, he is too timid. He is afraid that he will be speechless when he meets the prince."
The Eighth Prince hummed: "Can you say anything?"
Jia Cong nodded: "Yes." He looked around and asked, "Is it convenient to talk here?"
The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "It's naturally convenient."
Jia Cong held out a finger: "Our brothers were originally spotted by the Sixth Prince first. If the Eighth Prince tries to trick Brother Yaoer now, I'm afraid it will make the Sixth Prince unhappy.
1." He stretched out a second finger, "Because the plan of combining vertical and horizontal lines was originally devised by Brother Yaoer. Even if he can't come up with the second plan in this life, this plan is still his. Therefore, although we are nothing,
, in the eyes of the princes, I am afraid that people who are more capable than ordinary people will be more eye-catching. Secondly, according to the temperament of the Eighth Prince, he should not like to stand out. I hope that the Eighth Prince will take the overall situation first and not care about such small things.
It's a small gain or loss. Even if you have the power to aspire for the throne in the future, you should win people's hearts with the word "submission". The talent who comes here through calculation or coercion is probably Xu Shu from Cao Ying."
The Eighth Prince was smiling and stroking his beard. After listening to him crackling like firecrackers for a long time, he was actually stunned. After a while, he said: "Not coming?"
Jia Cong said: "That's enough."
The Eighth Prince thought for a while and said: "It makes some sense."
Jia Cong said: "It's not easy to get so many princes together in one place without fighting each other."
The Eighth Prince smiled bitterly and said, "There will be no worries in the next few days." Yinna turned his eyes to Jia Cong and waited for him to speak.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "According to my usual temper, I will pretend to be dead now. But today I have something to advise you princes."
The Eighth Prince hurriedly said: "Please speak."
Jia Cong said: "I'm most annoyed by those who speak in a roundabout way and hint back and forth. You should know that even if you speak outright, many unfounded misunderstandings will arise, not to mention those who talk in a roundabout way? You like to secretly say one or two strange words and wait for others to figure it out.
Of course, some speculations are right, but what if they are wrong? Since we are working together as partners, what words cannot be understood, explained clearly, and crushed to pieces? "
The Eighth Prince was stunned for a moment and said, "I never talk like this."
Jia Cong said: "Open the skylight and speak frankly. It's not that difficult. Why don't you give it a try?"
The Eighth Prince thought about it for a long time and sighed: "That's it, I'll give it a try."
Jia Cong then smiled and said, "If this plan works well, what can you reward me with?" He knew that this was a sign of his cleverness, and the Eighth Prince would not be stingy if he thought about it.
Sure enough, the Eighth Prince smiled and said, "What do you want?"
Jia Cong said: "A while ago, I saw that my ancestor had two clouded leopard cloaks, which are called bird gold cloth and fugong fur. They are very beautiful and tight."
The Eighth Prince laughed and said, "What do you want? Although that one is rarer, it's nothing." He immediately ordered people to go inside to find two pieces and give them to him. Logically speaking, he was only one person, so he should only be rewarded with one piece.
Yes. But Jia Congte said two things. The Eighth Prince mistakenly thought that Jia Cong was deliberately favoring him, so he asked for something from him. How could he be reluctant to give him an extra piece of clothing? Not long after, two bags were delivered.
Jia Cong was extremely happy to see her. He thanked her several times and grinned from ear to ear. He coaxed her into wearing two pieces of clothing and carried her back home.
