"I knew it! I knew there was definitely an affair between them!"
The people sent by the Wu Dingbo Mansion to inquire about the news came back and confirmed that the champion house next door had been hung with red silk in preparation for the wedding.
Mrs. Li was so angry that she was pacing back and forth in the room, her face twisted with hatred!
Her face was still swollen and hurt every day just after her punishment.
If it weren't for Ji Shu, why would she have suffered like this!
Mrs. Li threw herself in front of Wu Dingbo and said bitterly: "Master! Let's go to the emperor to complain! We can't help this couple of bitches!"
"idiot--"
Wu Dingbo raised his hand and pushed Mr. Li out and said in disgust:
"What are you suing for? You don't have ears? This marriage was given by the emperor! Go ahead and sue, you don't want your head! How dare you contradict the emperor's decree?!"
"Your Majesty, you are partial to a traitor! Qi Ye clearly covets his younger brother and sister. The Emperor actually ignored him and even granted him a marriage. He is really stupid——"
Snapped--
Wu Dingbo slapped Li's crazy words back!
The slap was so heavy that Mrs. Li fell into Mother Cui's arms with a ringing in her ears and looked at Wu Dingbo in fear.
Wu Dingbo squinted his eyes and said coldly: "If you don't want to live anymore, don't involve my uncle's house! If you really have the courage, you can sue! But before suing, I will divorce you, this house-ruiner!"
Mrs. Li didn't dare to make any more trouble, so Wu Dingbo gave an order: "Don't wander around all the time these days! Country women don't know what to say! Sooner or later, my uncle's house will be ruined by you! Go away and serve the old lady! The family in the house will be in advance Ask the second brother’s family to take care of it.”
Mrs. Li still wanted to cry and beg, but Wu Dingbo directly ordered Mother Cui to take her out.
Qi Chengxu was still sitting on the kang, wandering in his thoughts. Although he hated being more sober than Li, he knew that there was no room for turning around.
There were only his wife and his wife in the room. Wu Dingbo was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"You feel bad because your father knows this, but it is not a bad thing for the uncle's house to marry Ji Shu back."
The more Wu Dingbo thought about it, the angrier he became. He walked up and down with his hands behind his back, pointed at Qi Chengxu and cursed:
"I have told you a long time ago that Ji Shu is different from ordinary women. She is smart and decisive, and her skills in running the house are as good as those of men. She can definitely support the prince's house! But you are a fool! Look at the daughter of a low-level merchant. ! This is so annoying! Look how much the Qi family has suffered because of you!"
Qi Chengxu's face turned red, and Wu Dingbo said:
"Whether she marries Qi Ye, she is still a member of the Qi family. I have thought about it. She will still be in charge of the house in the future. You go and tell your mother that you will treat her well in the future and coax her carefully! The uncle's house also Whether you can get your title back or not, and whether you have a future future all depends on her."
"Dad! She, she is the one who put a hat on me! I can't wait to strangle her to death!"
"Who can you blame?! If you hadn't been stupid in the first place, you wouldn't have been pushed away by others!"
"Then she can't hug her!"
"Okay, okay, if you hold these grudges, then you will starve to death on the streets in the future!"
Wu Dingbo said coldly: "If you can no longer serve as an official in the court, after a hundred years, the uncle's house will belong to Qiye. Do you think he and his wife can provide for you in old age, or will they drive you out of the house? Then you will Taking your mother to beg on the streets to survive?"
Qi Chengxu's face turned red and his mouth was open, unable to speak.
Wu Dingbo: "A man can bend and stretch! Just think about it yourself!"
Qi Chengxu struggled for a few breaths, then closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and responded.
"Very good. In that case, show your attitude first. I remember that the new aunt in your room is Ji Shu's biological sister?"
"good."
"Qi Ye is getting married. The wedding ceremony should be at the uncle's house when you enter the house to worship heaven and earth. I ask you to work with the second room in the house to decorate the house in the past few days and make it a success."
Qi Chengxu gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
…
A few days after the imperial edict granting the marriage came down, because Old Mrs. Qi was so angry that she didn't know when she would die, both houses rushed to prepare in full swing.
Ji Shu's health was not getting better, so the palace sent several imperial doctors to look after him.
The Concubine Xian, the Queen, and even Concubine Zhao all sent people.
Several imperial doctors took turns to diagnose the pulse and discuss the prescription together.
Xitao took out the medicine from inside and stepped forward to ask worriedly: "Dear doctors, I wonder if my young lady's illness can be cured before the wedding ceremony?"
It is now July 3rd, and their wedding ceremony is scheduled for the 20th. It takes half a month to complete, which is a little short, but it can be done in time with all the arrangements.
I'm just afraid that Ji Shu's illness will be delayed if it is not cured.
"Girl, don't worry. I checked the pulse and found that the county master's pulse has improved. I just need to take a few more doses of medicine and nurse him for a few days and he will be fine."
"Then I'm sorry for your worries, all the imperial doctors. Please accept these."
Each of the Xitao doctors stuffed some golden melon seeds and sent them out politely.
After confirming that everyone was gone, she returned to the inner room, carefully closed the door, and came to the bed.
"Miss, it's okay. The government doctor's medicine is really useful. The imperial doctor even concealed it. I didn't even notice it when I saw the imperial doctor sent by the imperial concubine."
Ji Shu nodded slowly, "Just hide it."
Concubine Zhao is the last one to be wary of. Once this is settled, there will be nothing more important.
Xitao smiled and said, "Miss, just settle down and get married."
Ji Shu's eyes were wandering, his usually plain eyes were tinged with spring color, and his heart was pounding.
We have finally come this far.
The next day, Qi Ye came to Ji Mansion with betrothal gifts, carriages and horses. The queue was so long that the nearby streets and alleys were packed, and there was an endless stream of people watching the excitement.
Even the carriages couldn't squeeze through the main street, and even the commander of the Army and Horses Division personally came to help maintain order.
It took more than an hour just to transport the betrothal gift to Ji Mansion.
Not to mention the common people, the people in the Military and Horse Division were dumbfounded.
"The champion has given all his property to the Ji family, right?"
The conductor said with a smile: "The general only married his wife when he was already established. He has saved his fortune for nearly thirty years, so it is naturally extraordinary."
"General Chicheng, Lord Wenyu has finally come to the end of his hardships."
The onlookers were shocked, and the people in Ji's mansion were also frightened. Father Ji's mood changed from surprise to satisfaction, and then he started to worry.
The servants in the courtyard were still counting the betrothal gifts and checking the gift lists, when Ji's father called Qi Ye aside.
"The gift you gave me doesn't seem to match the gift list I showed you before? Is it too heavy?"
He made a small test, Qi Ye said gently:
"Don't worry, sir. It's not too heavy. The gift list I gave you before is part of the entire gift list. There is another volume handed over today, and the numbers are accurate."
"I understand what you are thinking. I know that you are interested in Shu'er, but you two will live together in the future. Your face before marriage is not important, what is important is what happens after marriage."
Ji's father had something on his mind, he was afraid that Qi Ye would make a big deal out of it just because of the goodwill before the marriage, and he would not want to see Ji Shu in the future.
She was also afraid that he would give too much without measure and ask Ji Shu to live in poverty with him after marriage.
Qi Ye: "Don't worry, sir, I still have half of this left in my house."
In these days, in addition to asking the emperor for military pay and rewards over the years, Qi Ye also visited many properties, farms and shops that his grandfather and he purchased privately in the capital before leaving the capital.
Thanks to his years in the military camp, he didn't spend a penny of the wealth he had saved in the past ten years, which turned out to be a huge sum of money.
Father Ji took a deep breath and suddenly felt sour.
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved."
The betrothal gifts were counted until dusk, and there were still dozens of boxes left. Everyone in the house was exhausted, so they had no choice but to stop and wait until tomorrow.
After Qi Ye left, the manager found Ji's father and mother and hesitated:
"Master and Madam, how should we calculate the betrothal gift that has been counted today? Should it be merged into the public house, or..."
Before they could open their mouths, several people broke in from outside the hall and said loudly:
"Of course it will be merged into the public house! Otherwise, what if? If my Ji family marries a daughter, will it be credited to her Ji Shu's account?!"
