shock!She can travel through time
Chapter 191
Xiao Zhen felt something was wrong in his heart. He was actually the person who was most afraid of trouble. When encountering such a difficult matter, his first thought was to stay out of it!
"Wait a moment, my elder brother should decide this matter." After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhen strode into the main hall.
Seeing the end of Xiao Yan's "name asking", Xiao Zhen stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother, the man outside is here to propose marriage to He Qingyan of the He family, and He Wenyu, the son of their family, wants to accept Wanwan as a noble concubine." , I don’t know how to reply, so you should deal with it, brother.”
Xiao Yan didn't expect his second brother to be able to take care of the matter, but let him accompany the matchmaker first.It's something on his side, so naturally he has to settle Lin Wanwan's matter.
It's just that this matter is very difficult to handle. According to the family status of the two parties, one is the son of the upstart He family in Qiantang, and the other is the orphan daughter of the poor family Lin family. It is normal for them to be concubines.
But the problem is, Lin Wanwan is not an ordinary orphan girl from a poor family. She has a fairy master who also studied medicine under Mr. Sun, and also has a senior knight-errant who can give away a catty or two of grapes!
"Why, why is Uncle Xiao's family in such a difficult situation? Could it be that he doesn't like the He family?" The matchmaker was left alone for a long time, and his face was already pulled down a little.
"Don't you dare?" Xiao Yan welcomed the matchmaker into the upper room, and the other matchmaker who finished the work took the woman's name card, saluted and left very interestingly, and looked curiously at the couple in the yard before leaving. Gifts in a box.
Hey, it's quite generous. One can see the high-quality silk and satin and gold and silver jewelry piled up in the box at a glance. It seems that the sincerity of concubines is quite sufficient.
The matchmaker invited by He Wenyu's family knelt upright on the east side of the hall with his head held high, waiting for Xiao Yan and others to speak first.
Anyway, the Xiao family didn't have much power in Qiantang, they were just spoofing their relatives, the county magistrate's wife, who was thousands of miles away.As a thick local snake, the He family would not take this Xiao family seriously.
Xiao Yan sat down and said softly: "So that my wife will know that I am just the uncle of Wanwan Lin, and there are elders in her clan, so it is not our turn to decide her marriage. Go to He's house. Why don't you ask the lady to carry the box back, if the He family is really sincere, they should sail to Lin's Village in Wanghai Town to propose marriage."
The matchmaker immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Xiao Dalang, I heard that Lin Wanniang's parents died. Since you are her uncle and she lives in the mansion now, the marriage can naturally be arranged by the uncle's family. The world is connected, I wonder what Xiao Dalang is evading?"
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said coldly: "To tell you the truth, my niece is going to return to Lin's family in Yan County in a few days. I don't know the beginning and end of her marriage, so it's really hard to decide."
The matchmaker had seen many people of all kinds, seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, he knew that he was unwilling to make decisions, immediately rolled his eyes, took out the marriage certificate and put on a smile: "Xiao Dalang, although the He family wants to accept Ling's niece as a concubine, But it will not humiliate her. Not only did I invite slaves to propose marriage, but I also prepared three hundred bolts of silk and satin, a full set of gold hair, two pearl necklaces, a pair of jade bracelets, and a dowry gold of 88 gold. Sincerity can be regarded as Enough."
Xiao Zhen, who was silent at the side, gasped secretly when he heard the words, the betrothal gift was really generous enough, and marrying a straight lady may not necessarily have such a lot of gifts.
Although Xiao Yan was also surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He had studied for several years, so he still had some concentration.
Exaggerated high-priced betrothal gifts were very popular in the Tang Dynasty. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were worried about the marriage of the common people. They hated this kind of high-priced betrothal gifts and often complained. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi even issued an edict to stipulate the betrothal gifts upper limit.
However, no matter how powerful the imperial power is, you can't take care of other people's housework, just like Tang Taizong and his sons and daughter-in-law desperately suppressed the nobles, and they didn't want the upstarts to marry the nobles. Not even Cheng Yaojin, a die-hard follower Willing to listen, let alone others.This edict is completely useless.
The high dowry gift at least proves that there is sincerity.
But Xiao Yan still insisted on not letting go, and ignored the marriage certificate handed over by the matchmaker. Anyway, it was just a sentence back and forth.
On this side, Xiao Yan was fighting with the matchmaker, on the other side, when Yunshang got the news, he immediately asked Qian to send a servant to report to Lin Wanwan.
Yun Shang was worried that Lin Wanwan's uncles would be in trouble if they signed a marriage certificate for their own wife in a daze.
She secretly thought that with her own wife's personality, she would never be someone's concubine. If Uncle Lin really signed the marriage letter, it would be a tug-of-war. No matter what the result was, her wife's reputation would be ruined.
The errand boy had received Lin Wanwan's countless tips these days, so he really worked hard at the moment, and soon found Lin Wanwan who was drinking and listening to music, and whispered to her about it.
As soon as Lin Wanwan heard this, she immediately threw down a handful of pepper, got up and left, and rode her horse to Xiao's mansion.
It's really out of line, to take her as a concubine directly with the dowry?And without my consent, I actually wanted to completely bypass myself!
Thinking about it again, such incidents of noblemen breaking into houses to take concubines and maidservants must have happened often, after all, this is the Tang Dynasty where the legal system is not perfect!
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan clamped her horse's belly and ran even faster. Now she hopes that her two cheap uncles will not get confused and sign marriage certificates for her.Hey, this recognition of relatives is really not something that can be blindly recognized, once recognized, there will be countless entanglements.
Benefits are always accompanied by risks!
When she galloped all the way back to Xiao's residence, it was also the time when the matchmaker and Xiao Yan had completely collapsed.
Lin Wanwan threw the horse away and ran into the main hall, and heard a loud shout from a distance: "Put down the dowry, let's go! We'll wait and see if we're prevaricating like this!"
"Slow!" Lin Wanwan shouted.
The matchmaker looked back, only to see a bright woman dressed in men's attire, wearing a hooded head, and a woman disguised as a man came in, blocking the sunlight in the room, her jade face was cold.
"Wanwan, why are you back?" Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhen asked in unison when they saw Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan glanced at the marriage letter spread out on the case table, and after saluting the two uncles, she turned to the matchmaker who had stood up and said, "This must be the matchmaker sent by Hefu to propose a marriage? I'm sorry for my ignorance. In the world, as long as you lift a box and put it in someone else's yard, it's considered a ritual? He's family wants to rob people's daughters?"
The matchmaker smiled coldly in his heart, is there still a lot of forced buying and selling in this world?An orphan girl from a poor family, but she dared to utter wild words, she really came from a small family, and she rushed to the forefront of this kind of thing.
So the matchmaker sneered even more: "The slave came to propose marriage in a serious manner, but why did he turn into a robbery of a civilian girl in the mouth of the little lady?"
Lin Wanwan also sneered: "Propose marriage? Then I will tell you clearly that if your master dies, I will not marry."
"Wait a moment, my elder brother should decide this matter." After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhen strode into the main hall.
Seeing the end of Xiao Yan's "name asking", Xiao Zhen stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother, the man outside is here to propose marriage to He Qingyan of the He family, and He Wenyu, the son of their family, wants to accept Wanwan as a noble concubine." , I don’t know how to reply, so you should deal with it, brother.”
