Soon after, in the back house of the Li family, Mrs. Wang looked at Li Jia and Li Yan in front of her. With a burst of joy, she took the lead in looking at Li Yan and said warmly: "Yan'er, although you are not me personally, since you are dead, In my name, she is naturally a legitimate child. Don't worry, your dowry will definitely not be less than Jia'er's. I have discussed it with your father. Now the government has too many places to spend money. My Li family has nothing else. The family has quite a lot of property. Nowadays, the world is in chaos. Only by relying on an overlord like Song Jiedu can the safety and wealth of the whole family be guaranteed. Therefore, no matter how much the betrothal gift is, my Li family will repay it three times. Don’t be petty. Help your husband more and achieve great things."
"Thank you, mother!!" Li Yan said gratefully.
"General Wu is a great hero. Although he is a military general, I heard from your cousin that he is loyal and kind-hearted. If you follow her, you will never suffer any loss. If the opportunity is good in the future, you may still be able to get a royal title."
"yes!!"
After Wang nodded, she looked at the impatient Li Jia next to her and frowned: "Jia'er, you have a bit of a naughty personality, but it's probably because of this that my nephew likes you. After we get married, you will be the governor of the state. Madam, you are a role model for ladies in the entire Jinan Mansion, so you should not act recklessly, you should be diligent and frugal in running your home, and take care of your husband and children. When I take you to get married, I will ask two nuns who have been with you for many years to accompany you in marriage!!"
"Yes, mother!!"
"You two are married to the highest military general in Jinan Prefecture, and the other is the highest civil servant. You must help each other in the future, sisters are of the same mind!!"
"Yes, mother!!"
"Madam." At this time, an old nanny came in and whispered: "Just now, my servant saw that Ms. Zou led the third lady to the study room, bringing some preserved fruits and snacks. She said she was going to give it to the master and his wife. Lord Jiedushi, please relieve your greed."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately said with disdain: "I am a concubine, and I always use these small tricks. It is just to see that Yan'er and Jia'er will marry well, and I am a little anxious. Last time I asked her daughter to go to the government office. Not only did he not get any good treatment, he was also not tolerated by Song Jiedu because of it. It is ridiculous for a concubine to want to take advantage of the benefits of a direct descendant. Don’t worry, there will be no trouble, so don’t bother with it!!”
"Madam, I'm afraid that the master will be soft-hearted. Besides, Song Jiedu has just arrived. If you are invited, it's hard to refuse!" the old mama reminded.
Wang frowned, looked at Li Yan and Li Jia and said, "You two go back first and prepare carefully."
"yes!!"
. . . .
Not long after, at the door of the study, I saw a lady who was about forty years old, but still charming. She led Li Miao, who had gone to the government office some time ago, and waited anxiously.
It was Li Zheng's concubine, Zou, who came from a small family, but because of her beauty, she was taken into the side room by Li Zheng.
Soon, Li Zhengcong came out of the study. Seeing this scene, he immediately stepped forward and frowned: "Why are you here?"
"Master, I have prepared some preserved fruits for you and Lord Jiedushi!"
Li Zheng looked at the pleading eyes of Zou and Li Miao, feeling helpless after all. As the saying goes, marrying a wife is not for love, but for the sake of the family, marrying a concubine is the joy of the heart.
After a slight hesitation, Li Zheng said seriously: "Then send it to Lord Jiedushi, but be sure to pay attention to etiquette and don't be rash!!"
"yes!!"
When Li Zheng took the two girls into the study, he looked at Song Jiang who was holding a book and flipping through it, and said quickly: "Sir, this is my concubine, Zou, who has specially prepared some preserved fruit snacks."
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment. After taking a look, he looked at the two girls who were bowing their heads. His expression changed and he smiled and said, "Thank you."
"Jiedu has made you serious"
Song Jiang looked at the cautious Zou who brought Li Miao here especially, and sighed in his heart. It is indeed not easy for a concubine to get to the top.
After thinking for a while, Song Jiang said: "I heard that the third lady has reached the age of marriage?"
"Exactly!!"
Song Jiang smiled and said, "It is better for these two girls to get married together than for the three girls to get married together. I think Mr. Li can also choose a marriage and get married together. This will definitely be a grand event in the city!!"
When Li Zheng heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid there is no suitable one."
"I do have one here, but I don't know if Mr. Li is willing," Song Jiang said.
"Just listen to Song Jiedu's instructions!!"
"This man is Fan Yong, the Commander of the Jinan Prefecture's Military and Horse Command. He can be considered a brother who has joined me in Liangshan for many years. Although he is a military commander, he has a good appearance and is also brave and loyal. The Jinan Prefecture's Military and Horse Commander is responsible for the security of Jinan Prefecture. In terms of status, he is second only to Zhizhou and Tongpan. If Mr. Li doesn’t dislike it, why not let them meet!!”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zou looked happy and quickly pulled Li Miao to kneel down and said, "Thank you, Lord Jiedushi, for the marriage!!"
"Hey! Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Seeing this scene, Song Jiang waved his hand and looked at Li Zheng and said: "For such a thing, I still need the eldest lady to nod, so as to avoid friction at the wedding."
When Li Zheng heard this, he quickly said: "Of course."
As night gradually fell, an angry voice could be heard in Wang's bedroom, "This is impossible!!"
I saw Mrs. Wang's face full of anger at this time, but I didn't expect that someone didn't pay attention and let that bitch take advantage again.
When Li Zheng saw it, he immediately pleaded with his face: "Madam, Miao'er is also the daughter of my Li family. You don't want him to marry an ordinary person and lose the reputation of my Li family! If this is known to outsiders, it will not have any impact. Okay, besides, although Miao'er's marriage is not bad, it can't compare to Jia'er and Yan'er!!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she said coldly: "Since the master said so, then just make the arrangements yourself. Why do you need to ask me?"
"Madam, Song Jiedu respects the ancient system the most. Without the nod of you, the eldest wife of the Li family, how can a concubine get married?" Li Zheng quickly complimented.
"Now that I know she is a concubine, why do you always show favoritism to her?"
After Li Zheng's expression changed, he turned his head and glanced, only to see that Li Heng was also there at this time.
Seeing this scene, Li Heng stood up helplessly and said respectfully: "Mom, although the third sister is occasionally naughty, she is still a child of my Li family after all. This marriage not only represents the kindness of my parents, but also represents my Li family." Will return to the officialdom, Fan Du will be responsible for the guards of the four gates. If he can become my uncle of the Li family, it will be of great help to the business of my Li family. My Li family will also be a monk because of the three sisters. , and became the first aristocratic family in the entire Jinan Prefecture. In addition, my brother gave my mother face, but he also really cared about Fan Dutong's marriage. If my mother insisted on refusing, it would be difficult for my brother to handle it!!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she hesitated slightly, then gritted her teeth and said, "Let's calculate her fate!! Anyway, it's lower than Jia'er, so it doesn't mess up the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines!!"
"Thank you madam, then, let's..." Li Zheng said impatiently after hearing this.
"Let's go see Master Jiedushi!!" Wang said.
"Okay, okay!!" Li Zheng quickly put aside his majesty as an elder and helped him personally.
And just when Song Jiang betrothed all three daughters of the Li family to his subordinates, in the Jinan Mansion at night, dozens of veiled assassins with swords in hand appeared around the street where the Li Mansion was located.
"Listen carefully, as soon as Song Jiang's carriage comes out, rush to me and kill him. If we can kill him successfully, we will definitely become the heroes of the imperial court," the leader said coldly.
"yes!!"
. . . .
At this time, outside a bedroom in the Li Mansion, the soldiers had already guarded the surrounding areas. As Wang Su appeared with cold eyes, he looked at the two subordinates in front of him and said seriously: "From now on, You must guard your brother's side at all times. I have said before that our personal guards have never known about my brother's martial arts skills, so if there is an accident, not only you, but also me will be directly punished by Commander Hua. Beheaded!!"
"yes!!"
When Wang Su walked into the bedroom, he looked at Song Jiang who was reading a book and said respectfully: "Brother, you are ready."
Song Jiang turned around and said warmly: "Be careful, it's best not to disturb the Li family."
"Brother, don't worry," Wang Su said and then retreated.
