Hongfu Nu found her junior sister Snake Beauty overnight.
Xiangmingfang.
Fortunately, Si She did come back here tonight. This was the first time she had come back in a while. For no other reason than to prepare a wedding ceremony for the young master and his disciple.
She has put all the land deeds and house deeds of "Xiangmingfang" in boxes. When the young master and his disciple get married, they will be given as gifts to the two of them. At the same time, she also has some gold and silver accumulated over the years, about 20,000 yuan. .
Just as the snake beauty was getting ready to sleep, she heard a knock on the door and asked her subordinates to open the door and take a look. It turned out to be senior sister Hong Funu.
"Senior sister, it's so late, why are you here?"
Hongfu Nu sat casually on a chair and said angrily: "Don't mention it, my daughter can't get married!"
"I'm really convinced by that bastard King of Shu."
Snake beauty: "???"
The snake beauty's heart tightened, what's going on?
No... the young couple was doing well, why could they suddenly not get married? But she just came back from Prince Shu's Mansion, and the young master was very happy!
"Senior sister, what's going on?"
Hongfunu rubbed her forehead and said distressedly: "That little bastard tricked our Li family. He had agreed before that he would take the 50,000-guan betrothal gift in advance, but in the future, people from the Rites Department will come to give the gift. I, Li My family also wants to send me the dowry, but what should I give now?"
"Did you really tell the people in the Ministry of Rites that that little bastard had already taken the dowry?"
"My Li family can't afford to lose this person!"
The lamia finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was no big deal, but it turned out that she had no money to pay for the dowry.
"Junior Sister, Senior Sister came here tonight to borrow money from you..."
"this……"
The snake beauty was in a very difficult situation. All the money she had planned to give to the young master. The young master said that he would support her in her old age in the future!
Moreover, she doesn't have much money anymore. The entire Wanhua Building is given to your daughter, and just this Xiangmingfang is not worth a lot of money.
But the senior sister was very kind to her and treated her like a biological sister since she was a child. Later, when the Shadows were dismissed, it was the senior sister who took her in and gave her money to open this fragrant tea shop.
"Senior sister, I only have 10,000 yuan in cash here, and the rest is in Xiangmingfang."
"How about I give this Xiangmingfang to you too!"
Hong Fu Nu sighed, it has not been easy for junior sister to be alone these years. How much money can she make by running this fragrant tea shop?
"You keep the Xiangmingfang, and senior sister Yi Wan Guan will take it away first."
"Okay, I'll deliver it to your house tomorrow."
Hongfu Nu returned to her house disappointed.
Li Jing was still sitting in the living room. When he saw his wife coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "You went to the snake beauty. She is pitiful by herself. I'll go borrow some money tomorrow!"
"I borrowed 10,000 yuan. She said she would give us the Xiangmingfang. I didn't ask for it."
"Forget it, I will borrow it tomorrow. I will eventually marry my daughter off in a glorious way. As for the money, I will probably go to the battlefield to make money."
"Pharmacist, you are going to the battlefield again? Your health is not as good as before. Now if you go to the battlefield again, I am afraid that you will not come back. How will you let me live if you leave me alone?"
"You can't go to the battlefield anymore."
Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Can I not go? I'm afraid you still don't know that after Shu Wan and the King of Shu get married, the King of Shu will be sent to Longxi by His Majesty."
"What kind of place is Longxi? It is the hometown of the Li family in Longxi. It is also the frontier of the attack on Tuyuhun, and it is also the transit point for the Western Regions."
"According to the temper of the King of Shu, he will definitely go to the front line in person this time, and even lead the troops to charge. You and I are young and vigorous young people. Don't you know it? We are all from that age."
"If I don't go, who will protect our son-in-law?"
Hongfu Nu's face looked ugly, and she slowly found a place to sit down without saying a word.
"lady……"
"Why am I so unlucky? I married you, that's all. But my daughter is also married to the King of Shu. You are all going to the battlefield, leaving me and other orphans and widowed mothers..."
"Don't say these unlucky words and seek your own government in your position. This is my responsibility and obligation."
"As a prince, King Shu, if he acts like a coward, I will look down on him."
Hongfu Nu turned around angrily and walked towards the bedroom.
"A bunch of heartless things."
"Don't come to my room again."
Li Jing: "..."
Li Jing was the only one left in the living room. Li Jing looked worried. Where can he borrow money tomorrow?
That night, after Hongfu Nu left the lamia, the lamia went to the Prince of Shu's Mansion.
In the early morning, after Li Ke got up, she told Li Ke about Hongfu Nu's borrowing money.
She knew that the young master knew the general situation. The young master took away the 50,000 guan dowry for the sake of development. The current young master would never embarrass Li Jing's family just for the sake of 50,000 guan.
After listening, Li Ke nodded and said nothing.
The lamia left slowly. It was right to tell the young master about this matter. As for what the young master would do, that was the young master's business.
As a subordinate, you can only do so much.
"Old pig, come here."
Haizhu hurriedly followed Li Ke to the study. Li Ke said, "You will go to the Duke Dai's mansion later and deliver these things anonymously."
"If you ask, just say it was the dowry given by the second young master Li De to his sister."
"yes……"
Hai Zhu looked at the things listed on the paper and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Young Master, these things are the treasures of your treasury!"
"Shu Wan is my fiancée. How can I let her lose face? I promised her that I would let her marry into the Prince of Shu's palace in a glorious way. Only with a sufficient dowry can we achieve equality in life and a happy married life... …”
"You know nothing, go quickly!"
"Young Master is so considerate. Your wife is really lucky to marry you."
"Go and do your work quickly!"
Li Ke shook his head. The things he asked Haizhu to give were now priceless treasures, but in a few years they would be trash.
If Li Jing sent it as a dowry, he would be unlucky. If he didn't send it, he would have nothing to lose.
Li Jing was the main general in the attack on Tuyuhun, and he did not want to offend his father-in-law.
I'll have to rely on my father-in-law to pay for it in the future!
Morning.
Li Jing went to several relatives' homes to borrow money early, but was given various excuses and returned empty-handed. Li Jing was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. These relatives are really realistic.
When they have something to do, they all come to him to ask for help. Now to borrow some money, seeing him is like seeing a jackal.
As soon as I got home, five carriages came to the gate, and the carriages were all pulling big boxes.
After asking these people, they said that the treasure sent by the Second Young Master was a dowry specially given to Wan'er.
Li Jing was stunned. Didn't his second son go to Li Ke's house as a guard?
When he opened it, Li Jing was shocked.
This is a glazed lamp, this is a colorful glazed bead, this is a glazed tripod...
What is this?
A piece of colored glaze that was as tall as a person. When the person who brought it opened the silk cloth, Li Jing's figure was clearly printed on it. Li Jing was startled.
The visitor introduced: "This is a mirror made of colored glass, called a fitting mirror."
"Dai Gong, there is something else here. This is a box of jewelry. This is an undersea coral, which is priceless..."
Li Jing immediately realized from the shock that this was definitely not a gift from his second son. I am afraid that the King of Shu got wind of it and had someone send it to him.
"King Shu, you are really hard for me to see through!"
"You say that you regard wealth as your life, and you are so generous. You give away such a priceless treasure as you say, and it's a whole truck full..."
"For my daughter to marry you, she saved mankind in her previous life."
"I have to educate my daughter well. When she gets to the King of Shu's palace, she must be nice to the King of Shu. If she dares to treat the King of Shu badly, I will break her legs..."
"Master, who sent this..."
"It was said that it was sent by the Virtue Prize, but I don't believe it..."
"My son still doesn't believe it? What's wrong with the Moral Award... Well, this, this... seems, it seems, it's definitely not something that can be obtained by the Moral Award."
"I guess it may have been sent by the King of Shu. He is the only one who has this ability."
"So, we have always wrongly blamed the King of Shu. Hey, this son-in-law is not easy. We must support him in the future. Even if we are fighting for that position, I will risk everything..."
"Madam, what are you talking nonsense about?" Li Jing quickly covered Hong Fu's mouth and pulled her towards the house.
I dare to say anything. If the news reaches His Majesty, our family will be exterminated and our property will be confiscated.
