"Brother, do we have to leave? I'll save you two taels of travel expenses and you can go home."
When he saw the woman, he seemed to be interested in him, and she was so beautiful.
Brother Jixiang took the initiative and said to the man, "Brother, please let the girl stay. If you can't do it, how about we add more?"
After hearing this, the woman's eldest brother didn't leave either.
He just looked at Brother Jixiang up and down and said, "Can you add more? Your parents are only willing to give me two taels of silver!"
When Brother Jixiang heard this, he immediately took out a piece of broken silver from his jacket. He whispered, "This is my private money. The deal is three taels of silver. I will replenish the difference to you. Do you think this will work?"
At this time, the woman only said to her eldest brother, "Brother, you see that she is also sincere in marrying me, so just give me three taels of silver."
Hearing the woman's words, the man just said helplessly, "You have to marry him? You can't do that except Mr. Li. He gave your brother and me ten taels of silver and allowed you to come in and be a concubine."
As soon as she heard her elder brother's words, the woman immediately said displeasedly, "Brother, please stop talking about this. Let alone ten taels of silver. Even if it's one hundred taels of silver, I won't let me come in and be my concubine." , What's more, I think this husband is much more decent than that old man, so I am willing to live with him."
When he saw his sister saying this, what else could the elder brother say? He could only say helplessly, "Okay, okay, I already know that you like this poor boy, so don't say those words. Your elder brother, I am not the one who beats the mandarin ducks."
After saying this, the eldest brother only said to Brother Jixiang, "Three taels of silver, just three taels of silver. It's an advantage for you. If my sister hadn't insisted on marrying you, I really wouldn't want to marry her so casually." Get out. So you guys have to take good care of my sister. If you bully my sister, if I find out, I won’t be polite to you even in Cangzhou! I will definitely come over and beat you up."
Upon hearing what the other party said, Brother Jixiang immediately assured her, "Don't worry! I will definitely take good care of her! I will never let her be wronged in the slightest."
Seeing the other party's promise, the woman's eldest brother followed the other party into the house.
Brother Jixiang immediately said to his father, "Dad. They agreed, let's find someone to sign the contract quickly, right?"
When he said this, Brother Jixiang seemed to be really afraid that if he took one step at night, the other party would regret it.
Seeing Brother Jixiang like this, Jixiang's father was not in a hurry.
He just said slowly, "Okay, you guys wait a moment, I'll go ask the gentleman from the clan, and when the writing is finished, I'll give you the money."
Upon hearing what Ji Xiang's father said, the eldest girl immediately smiled and said, "What are you doing with this old nose? If you want a contract, I have a ready-made one here. If you sign it, I'll pay you back if I sign it." What's the problem?"
After saying this, the female eldest brother immediately took out a contract.
However, Ji Xiang's father was not a vegetarian. Seeing that the female eldest brother took out the contract so easily, he became a little wary.
"How do I know if you are deceiving us about this contract? We are illiterate. If we sign the wrong contract, we will not be able to get the contract. We might even be sued."
Upon hearing this, the woman's eldest brother immediately became angry.
"Then what do you want?"
Jixiang's father only said calmly, "We have to ask the elders of the clan to notarize it!"
However, he didn't want to hear what Ji Xiang's father said, so the man immediately said, "Then I can't agree to the elders of your clan to do the notarization. After all, your elders are your elders, not from our family. How do I know?" Will they bully me, a foreigner, because I am one of your tribe?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiang's father immediately said unceremoniously, "If you don't want to, you can leave. We won't keep you here. You can go elsewhere."
The woman's eldest brother also had a temper. He immediately said, "Okay! Remember what you said, Xiu'er! Let's go!"
The woman’s eldest brother seems to be
He was really angry, and regardless of whether the woman wanted it or not, he picked her up and left.
And once the woman expressed that she wanted to stay here, her eldest brother would yell at her, "Are you cheap or not? People don't take your brother and I seriously. Do you think they can take you seriously? Stop being funny." If someone takes advantage of you, I will never care about you from now on."
After listening to her elder brother's words, the woman finally did not dare to say anything anymore, but she just kept looking at her elder brother Ji Xiang with pleading eyes.
At this time, Brother Jixiang had his heart set on showing off in front of the woman.
For this reason, he even took out a piece of silver first. If they left immediately, he would definitely not be able to get his silver back.
Therefore, as soon as the woman's eldest brother got up and wanted to leave, the lucky eldest brother was actually more anxious than anyone else.
He just said immediately, "Brother, let's not leave yet! We have something to discuss, right?"
Hearing what the other party said, the elder brother-in-law just sneered and said, "What else do you have to discuss with your father? I thought your family was easy to talk to, so I retreated again and again, but I didn't expect that your family would go even further!" How can my sister live a good life if she is married into your family?"
Hearing what the other party said, Brother Jixiang could only keep comforting his uncle and said, "Brother, please stop saying that. We have something to discuss and we can discuss anything, right? My dad knows something!"
At the same time, Jixiang's father only said to Brother Jixiang, "Let them go! Dalang! Look where they can go!"
However, at this moment, Brother Jixiang didn't want to pay attention to his father at all. He just said with great dissatisfaction, "Dad, please don't cause trouble for me. I really want to marry this girl. It's enough for us to do many things to a certain extent." , Isn’t it too much for you to push even further!”
Hearing what Big Brother Jixiang said, Jixiang's father was furious. "What nonsense are you talking about, you brat! Do you really want to make your father and me angry to death?"
After hearing his father's words, Brother Jixiang ignored him at all. At this moment, all he could think about was this girl named Xiu Niang.
Xiuniang seemed to be very embarrassed when she saw Brother Jixiang looking at her.
Xiu Niang's behavior only made Brother Ji Xiang more certain that he and Xiu Niang might be the ones they love each other.
At the same time, Xiu Niang just followed up and said, "Brother, you see that Mr. Zhao will protect me, but it hurts people. Why don't we take a step back."
The woman's eldest brother seemed to be moved by Brother Jixiang's behavior, so he did not refute the other party. He just whispered, "Why don't we each take a step back?"
The woman whispered, "It's better than this. Since we don't trust anyone, how about we find a scholar whom no one knows to draft this contract?"
Upon hearing the woman's suggestion, Brother Jixiang naturally immediately cheered, "Dad, why don't we just do what Xiu Niang suggested?"
Jixiang's father was obviously still angry, so the woman also persuaded him, "Uncle, my brother has such a bad temper. He actually knows that you are a good family, but he just has a bad temper, so he doesn't say anything serious. You Your Excellency has a lot, so don’t worry about my brother.”
Hearing the woman's gentle words, he thought that his proposal was quite reasonable. They were not locals. If they found a local on the road, the local would not deceive them.
And although this woman was married to her son, who doesn't like beautiful women?
So Ji Xiang's father finally calmed down.
"Okay! Since you said so, let's make it a deal."
After saying this, Jixiang's father only said to his son, "Go outside the alley and see if there is a scholar willing to take this order. If he is willing, we will let the scholar draft the contract, or let the scholar read it." See if there are any problems with your contract. If there are no problems, we will sign directly."
Upon hearing that Jixiang's father had assigned Brother Jixiang to come over, the woman's eldest brother didn't seem to have any objections this time. He just said "Hello" happily.
Then Brother Jixiang went outside the alley to ask a literate scholar to draft the contract.
I don't want him to just walk there
At the entrance of the alley, a scholar almost bumped into him.
As soon as he saw that the scholar looked like a scholar, and this boy seemed to be the one who often set up a stall on the street to write letters, Brother Jixiang didn't care about being angry anymore. He just said to the scholar immediately: " Can you write letters? Can you draft deeds?"
Facing the other party's question, the scholar immediately nodded.
Upon hearing this, Brother Jixiang prepared to take the scholar to his home without saying a word.
The scholar immediately shouted anxiously, "What are you doing!"
Hearing what the scholar said, Brother Jixiang immediately said unceremoniously, "Nothing! You are here to live. Our family is marrying a bride. You have to write a contract for our family. Of course, the best thing is to read it for us." Is there any problem with the contract? If there is no problem, I will give you the number of letters."
After hearing Brother Jixiang's words, the scholar finally whispered, "Okay, since you said so, I have to go with you."
Soon Brother Jixiang dragged the scholar into his yard. When Jixiang's father saw the scholar, he thought he looked familiar. So he has great trust in the scholar that Brother Jixiang is looking for.
What's rare is that the woman's eldest brother didn't raise any objections to the scholar. At that moment, he just took the initiative to approach the scholar and said, "Young Master, this is my contract. They insist that there is something wrong with my contract. I know you can read." , show me quickly and see if my contract has deceived them!"
After hearing what the female eldest brother said, he knew what he was here to do, and the scholar didn't waste any words. He took the contract and read it loudly.
After hearing the other party read out the entire contract, they didn't hear anything wrong with the contract. It was obvious that this was a normal contract, and Jixiang's father couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
