Jinghong Building

Chapter 416 Engagement

The letter she wrote to the Yang family was sincerely written by Empress Dowager Man. The first half of the letter praised the contributions made by the Yang family over the years. In the second half, Empress Dowager Man hoped that the Yang family would use the Han people. The advantage of this was to break into the Ran Army, especially the Fu Yansheng troops and He Dali troops in the northwest.

Mr. Yang Wu's face was as deep as water: "What do you mean? Our old Yang family has no scholars and cannot train military generals. Finally, there is a better-looking girl who has been betrothed randomly. Now we are in trouble again. What can we do within the army? Can we raise horses?”

Mr. Yang Wu is Yang Chun's father. He has high hopes for Yang Chun and has made his dream of being a cheap father-in-law for several years. In the end, Mr. Yang took the initiative to marry Yang Chun to Zhu Yanhe.

For this reason, Mr. Yang Wu has always been worried about it.

"Lao Wu, what are you talking about raising horses?" Mr. Yang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

Master Yang Wu was stunned. He said something in anger. Could it be that the third brother took it seriously and really wanted him to raise a horse?

The Yang family was originally a horse slave, and what they were best at raising horses.

The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Even Mr. Yang was stunned and looked at Old Master Yang in shock: "Dad, can you really let Lao Wu tell me? The Empress Dowager Man asked us to go to Ranjun to raise him. horse?"

It is easy to get into the army as a horseherd.

Just a meal of medicinal food can make the generals' war horses lose their strength on the battlefield and lose their strength.

The experienced Yang family can even accurately control the attack time, and before that, no one could detect something strange.

Master Yang Wu also realized that he really wanted them to raise horses.

Of course, the Yang family also has other staff, such as the guys in the big car shop, but the military camp is no better than other places. After entering, they lose contact with the outside world. Therefore, if you want to get things done, the Yang family must go by themselves and not hand over the important tasks to them. Those guys.

But the Yang family hasn't done such a risky thing for a long time. It's Ran Army. The soldiers don't care about the evidence. As long as they have some doubts, they will kill a few grooms with one knife, just like killing a few ants. The Jinyiwei must arrest people first, then interrogate, and finally decide life and death, but those officers are much more savage than the Jinyiwei. They can move their heads by the way with their fingers.

Mr. Yang Wu sat back on the chair: "Whoever you loves to go, I won't go anyway. I have already sacrificed a beautiful daughter. I can't even make me pay for this life, and The wives and children at home don’t know whether they are life or death now.”

When the others heard Mr. Yang Wu talk about his captured family, they also remained silent and looked at Mr. Yang together.

Old Master Yang was furious: "You conscience-lost, have you forgotten how our Yang family's family business came from? Without the old Khan and the prince, where did you get a big house and a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine? Now the old Khan If you are gone from the prince, you will be lawless. Do you not listen to the orders of the Queen Mother?

Boss, you are the eldest brother, what do you think? ”

Uncle Yang cleared his throat: "My wife has a fellow villager who works as a hundred households in Fu Yansheng's army. At the same time, they were stationed in Dada, and my wife also helped the mother of the hundred households bring things. It would be fine if anything else is done. If you want to be a groom and find that hundred household, there should be no problem."

The groom is just a small character, and for that hundred household, it is just a matter of one sentence.

Old Master Yang was obviously satisfied with Uncle Yang's attitude: "Okay, let the boss leave the matter in Yulin to the boss, He Dali's side, who can get in touch with you?"

As soon as Old Master Yang finished speaking, a heavy knock on the door sounded outside.

Everyone in the Yang family was having a meeting in the room, with doors and windows closed, and there was a trusted guy guarding the door outside.

The guy knocked on the door was outside: "Old man, there were many people coming outside and surrounded the house."

Everyone was shocked. Old Master Yang could still hold on. He asked in a deep voice: "Who is here?"

"It's officers and soldiers, all of them are officers and soldiers, so many officers and soldiers!"

The current officers and soldiers are Ran Jun.

Everyone was shocked, how could Ran Jun come?

But thinking about it, the Jinyiwei had already visited Nanhetun to catch people.

But it happened that Ran Jun came, and they all happened to be together.

If it were usual, they would be scattered everywhere, and it would not be easy to catch them.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Old Master Yang together. If Old Master Yang had not sent a message to them all over, how could they have come here from afar?

If the Yang family still doesn't know that it's someone else digging a hole to let them jump, the Yang family will be a fool.

But they are not fools, and they are smarter than many people.

They fell into the trap!

People brought them together and caught them all!

"Don't panic, everyone goes into the secret passage!" Old Master Yang responded calmly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the door in secret opened, and everyone entered in a row.

This secret passage took three years to be repaired, and it can directly lead to a poplar forest from here, and it will be safe when you get there.

But when they moved the stone slabs from the exit and walked out of the secret passage, what awaited them was not only the sunshine that shone in through the poplar forest, but also a big net falling from the sky!

The Yang family was like fish waiting to be slaughtered, covered in the net, and a general wearing armor laughed: "I'm waiting for the rabbit, but I'm still catching the rabbit so easily."

What kind of rabbit, it is obviously a fish, a fish trapped by a fish net!

When the news that the Yang family was caught was sent to the capital first, He Ran was drinking engagement wine in Qinghuan Tower.

There is a custom of holding engagement banquets in the capital, but it is usually the groom to be the groom to be the relatives and friends of both men and women. The bride to be the bride to be the unmarried girl, so she will not attend this occasion.

But Lu Chang is not an ordinary lady. Not only did she attend her engagement banquet, she also met the guests openly.

The guests quietly discussed: "It's not in line with the rules."

Someone immediately questioned: "Why can't you attend your engagement banquet?"

Think about it, it’s obviously someone’s engagement banquet, so why can’t you attend?

Someone sighed, "It's different, it's really different now."

Another laughed and said, "A woman can be a general, of course it's different from before."

A young man said, "But there were women who were generals before."

Everyone thought about it, whether it was He Jinghong or Li Jinxiu, they were all famous female generals.

"Maybe it was because there were only one or two famous female generals at that time, and now there are not only generals, but also female officials and female teachers. By the way, the person in charge of the court was also a woman."

Everyone understands that now there are more and more women with ability, more and more women with the right to speak, and even the new law is becoming more and more tolerant of women.

"Yes, yes, Lao Zhang, who runs a bun shop on Dajing Street, usually likes to beat his wife. If you have any trouble, you can beat him as soon as you want. No one can persuade him. I don't know who gave his wife an idea, but his wife asked him to make the street. The person who wrote the letter on the side wrote a complaint and sued it at the yamen. What do you think? " "What?"

"The yamen asked the yamen to test the wife of Zhang Lao Zhang's wife, and then sent the yamen runners to lock Lao Zhang away from the shop. Lao Zhang was hit by twenty boards. The yamen took the initiative and let him and his wife divorce him!"

"Really? The yamen still cares about beating his wife?"

Xiaoli took a walk from the hall downstairs and came to the private room on the second floor. In the private room, Li Jinxiu and Mrs. Shangguan took the female family from the two families to sit at a table. Mrs. Han was also there, sitting with Mrs. Shangguan. Together. He Ran opened a table alone and sat next to him listening to the two families discussing the wedding date, betrothal gifts and dowry.

This was the first time she attended such an occasion, and she did not participate, but only listened.

Interesting, so interesting, but Liuxia said that it is meaningless to have equal strengths on both sides and not short of money. It is just that those small families only paid fifty taels of betrothal gifts for your family, but asked my family to marry two dowry Fifteen taels, the most interesting thing is to fight for the red face and be red in the face.

He Ran was curious: "Will you really fight **** the spot?"

Liuxia nodded: "It's not just a verbal fight, but also a fight. There are also some people who start to fight as they talk. Last year, there was a case in Shunde Mansion, which started to fight when the battle was settled. The man's third uncle The woman's elder brother was beaten to death, causing a life of life, and the case caused a lot of controversy."

He Ran laughed in a low voice and said, "Fortunately, I won't take action today, otherwise the man will suffer."

Li Jinxiu and his family practice martial arts, both men and women, but the Lao family is a scholar. They are used to verbal battles and their strength is zero.

Looking at Zong Qi and Lu Chang again, they all lowered their heads and pretended not to speak. He Ran wanted to laugh when she looked at them.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Xiaoli came over and lowered her voice and said the comments she heard downstairs. He Ran smiled. What she had to do was far from enough.

At this moment, the maid from the Lao family who was waiting outside the door quietly walked in and said something in Zong Qi's ear. Zong Qi frowned slightly, said sorry to everyone, and walked out.

He Ran frowned, why is it so urgent? He has to leave the table at this time? Could it be that something happened in the Cao Gang?

He Ran glanced at Liuxia, and Liuxia followed her out with tactfulness.

A moment later, Zong Qi and Liuxia came back one after another. Zong Qi looked as usual and poured tea for several elders himself.

The two families have already talked about dowry.

He Ran asked Liuxia softly: "What's going on?"

Liuxia lowered her voice: "The one who came was an old lady from the Han family. She said that the young lady from the Han family had sucked her. The big grandmother of the Han family was anxious and stepped on the air and fell down the steps of the corridor, fainting."

The so-called "drawing" is a folk saying, which generally means that a child suddenly loses breathing when he is sick and crys.

He Ran was unhappy: "So they didn't invite a doctor, nor did they let Mrs. Han go back, but they let Mrs. Zong go there?"

Liuxia nodded: "That woman cried so pitifully. She couldn't hold on to such a big deal without a man at home."

He Ran sneered, he really didn't know what was said.

"What did Mr. Zong say?" In any case, Zong Qi is still sitting here now, so Zhu Yanmin's little abacus is gone.

Liuxia couldn't help laughing: "Young Master Zong called two subordinates to go back with the woman. Isn't it because there is no man in the family to support me? Those two subordinates are not only from the Cao Gang, but also from their own people. They are men, all of them are so strong that they are much stronger than the young master of Zong.”

Zong Qi was born with a long and beautiful body, and he was the kind of person who looked thin and had to take off his clothes. At first glance, he was indeed not as strong as the burly men of the Cao Gang.

"The woman was crying and refused to leave, but she was forcibly escorted away by those two men." Liuxia said.

He Ran smiled. Although Zong Qi hadn't told her anything, he could guess just by looking at what happened today. Zhu Yanmin usually makes a lot of evil.

Thinking of Zhu Yanmin, He Ran remembered Zhu Yanhe, and the blood of Su Cheng and the other two young officials was not dry yet.

The Han family saved Zong Qi. If it were not for the Han family’s father and son who helped him back then, there would be no Zong Qi today.

However, the father and son of the Han family were killed. Zong Qi not only avenged them, but also saved the efforts of the Han family for many years, but also saved the Han family's female family, allowing them to get rid of the fate of being plotted to be killed.

Zong Qi has doubled the Han family’s life-saving grace, and Zong Qi no longer owe the Han family.

Half an hour later, the two families finally agreed that the date of getting married was set in April next year. At that time, spring was warm and lukewarm, and it was the best time of the year.

Zong Qi actually wanted to go ahead and it would be better to book this year, but Li Jinxiu had a firm attitude and had to let Lu Chang get married after the New Year at her parents' home.

Lu Chang's biological mother died early. She grew up with Li Jinxiu since childhood. Facing her strong mother-in-law, her stepmother couldn't even get into the mouth. Whatever Li Jinxiu said was what she said. Mrs. Shangguan was a good-natured person, so everything was as follows Li Jinxiu. The heart of

As for the betrothal gift, Zong Qi wished he could give the highest gift, ninety-nine.

But Li Jinxiu refused to let him go, and there were so many people who couldn't eat. You offered a betrothal gift of ninety-nine. Are you going to let our Marquis Mansion on the fire?

no!

At most, I, a grandmother, don’t feel wronged about my granddaughter. I will carry all the betrothal gifts with the dowry back then.

He Ran listened to the whole process, and when the two sides finished the talks, the banquet ended.

Zong Qi wanted to send Mrs. Shangguan and Mrs. Han back home. Mrs. Shangguan smiled and said, "You don't need to send me, you'd better send Mrs. Li back."

Li Jinxiu waved her hand: "I don't need him to give it to you."

He Ran: "You give it to me."

Zong Qi knew that He Ran had something to ask him, and said, "Actually, I was a little embarrassed about this matter. Congcong is still young and cannot live without his mother. If Zhu Yanmin dies, I don't know how to face her when Congcong grows up. .”

He Ran said, "Is there anyone who is like this? Congcong is probably difficult to grow up with her."

Although she has never raised such a young child, it is more or less strange that a child will always get sick at critical moments.

Children will not pretend to be sick, so the one who has the problem is Zhu Yanmin, who is a mother.

He Ran said, "Today is your engagement day. If you are soft-hearted and follow the woman to the Han family, guess whether the conversation between the two families can continue, and whether you can still hold a beautiful woman in April next year. Go home?

You did a good job this time, she didn't succeed, but would you guess she would have the second or third time?

I guess it will. ”
