"Well! Some time ago, after Sister Yuan and you left Fucheng, the Chen family's young man came to see me once and said that Mr. Chen asked me to get this done as soon as possible. He was going to marry Chen Wu in the capital."
When Yan Jiao said this, her tone was calm, as if the matter she was talking about had nothing to do with her, and she was just here to help handle it.
Li Yuan wasn't sure whether she had given up completely. Seeing that there was no sadness in her eyes, she asked, "When did you arrive? Has everything been done?"
"I just arrived an hour ago and it's already done. But I didn't expect it would be so expensive to get the marriage certificate and cross out the records. Five taels of silver, that's a full five taels of silver."
Yan Jiao, who was still expressionless at first, took out the marriage certificate she got from the Yamen, and when she talked about the money, she had a look of pain on her face.
How many days does she have to sell pancakes to earn this money?
If she had known it would be so expensive, she would have asked the Chen family directly for it.
Anyway, she wasn't in a hurry. Who was in a hurry? Who would pay for it?
Li Yuan knew the laws of Yun State. People's marriages needed to be recorded in official records, and marriage certificates were also kept in the yamen.
She had heard Wang Can say earlier that Xu Gouguan would do anything to make money.
The most typical example is to open a road guide, which costs several taels.
I just never expected that such a simple thing as crossing out the marriage record and getting the marriage certificate back would cost five taels of silver.
When she was divorced before, Junzi went to the Yamen to get these things, but it seemed that there was no money involved.
So now this is an added bonus?
Before Li Yuan could express her opinion, Yan Jiao directly changed the topic.
"Sister Yuan, did you know that Miss Su and Mr. Qin are engaged?"
Li Yuan, who was still thinking about whether to ask her brother Xie to find a way to talk to Xu Chongguang to change his money-making temperament and become a parent official, heard this and couldn't react for a while.
"ha?"
Then she blinked quickly, with an expression on her face that said, "Jiaojiao, what did you just say? I feel like I heard you wrong. Why did I hear you say that Sister Su and Qin Muyang are engaged."
In fact, Yan Jiao herself felt incredible. When she heard Li Yuan's words, she nodded: "Well, Sister Yuan, you heard that right, they are engaged."
"No, sister Su was not separated from Qin Muyang. She once had a crush on Chen Hao, so why did she suddenly get engaged to Qin Muyang. When I came back, I happened to meet Mrs. Qin coming to see her. Her attitude was very firm at that time, and she also He said he would take care of it."
Yan Jiao shook her head and said: "I don't know what's going on. I just heard that Qin Muyang entered Su's house. But I also heard that getting engaged so quickly was for a wedding or something. I don't know what happened specifically. I only know that, On the day they got engaged, everyone in the whole city was talking about it. I think if they get married soon, Sister Yuan, given your relationship with her, I should send you a wedding invitation."
Li Yuan thought that when she left Fucheng, Mrs. Qin asked Su Mingshan to see Qin Muyang for the last time.
But she couldn't guess what was going on.
Su Mingshan is a decisive person. Since she is willing to get engaged, it is in her favor.
It was just a simple marriage, which she definitely would not agree to. She must have reached an agreement with the Qin Mansion.
As for whether the Qin Mansion will agree, it is probably because Qin Muyang is really dying!
Bringing his son into Su's house and marrying a merchant they looked down upon would be a huge loss and he felt like he was sorry to the ancestors of the Qin family, but it was still better than having his only son die and the Qin family's incestuous relationship disappear.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan said: "Sister Su's willingness to marry Qin Muyang must be due to her consideration. But I didn't expect that the Qin Mansion would be willing to let Qin Muyang marry. I thought they would rather Qin Muyang die than do this. Kind of something."
Yan Jiao thought of herself and sighed: "These days, if there are not many brothers in the family, life is really difficult, and few people are willing to come to marry into my family. Chen Wu would agree to marry into my Yan family before, but it was just because he was afraid of being publicized. It was a temporary solution for him to get entangled with the family. Later, you see, after knowing that he was a descendant of the Chen family, when he returned to the Chen family, he didn't insist on it and changed his name to Chen Wu? He said before that Junzi saved him, but also Just because my life-saving grace is based on your last name is Li, it’s just bullshit.”
When Li Yuan saw her saying this, her face was still expressionless. She couldn't follow her mocking Chen Wu, so she continued: "So, because of the special existence of the in-law relationship in the Qin House, even if something happens to Magistrate Zheng and Qian Tong, , but they couldn't shake them. I thought that they were most concerned about face and would not let the Qin Mansion become someone else's after-dinner conversation. They would take advantage of Qin Muyang's still life to find a few more women to see if they could You can’t leave any heirs.”
Yan Jiao then expressed her opinion and said: "If Mr. Qin's health is really bad and he needs to celebrate, if the Qin Mansion does not care about his life and death and finds more women, I am afraid that there will be no heirs left. Mr. Qin will first Dead. The Qin family has been passed down alone for several generations. Even if they are embarrassed, they still want Mr. Qin to be alive. I guess, Sister Yuan, I guessed it myself. They will agree to Mr. Qin’s marriage. They should think that the Su family has something. Some secret medicine, the kind that can bring the dead back to life."
"Everyone in Fucheng knows that Mrs. Su's health is not good. Even if she later bought Renxintang's life-saving pills, she was not in good health. Even if it was later said that Mrs. Su took the life-saving pills, I believed it. How many people are there? If I am a member of the Qin family and my child is like this, and the other party has medicine in his hand and will not give it out easily, then just let the child become a member of their family. For the descendants of the Qin family, the big deal Just let the Su family have a few more children, and then we can have a son named Qin so that he can inherit everything in the Qin family."
Li Yuan still found it a bit unbelievable. You must know that once Qin Muyang enters Su's house, he will become a merchant again and will not be able to continue the scientific examination.
When your health improves, you may drink enough water initially, but what about in the future?
Xianggui thought so, but this was someone else's business, and the other person was far away in Fucheng, so Li Yuan did not continue the topic.
"Jiaojiao, how long do you plan to stay when you come back this time? Also, have you discussed with your uncle and aunt what to do next?"
"Originally, I planned to go back today after finishing the work today, but since I met Sister Yuan, I wanted to get together with you and see Can Niang by the way, and then leave early tomorrow morning. By the way, has Junzi's county tried it? ?”
"It's over. Now the noodle stall is made for my third aunt and the others. Canniang is going to continue planting vegetables. She is sometimes in the county and sometimes goes back to Lijia'ao. She happened to go back to Lijia'ao today."
Yan Jiao didn't expect that they would give up such a profitable noodle stall directly, but she didn't say anything and turned to talk about herself.
