Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 143 Jia Zhen Moves So Fast
The next morning,
The sky is a little gloomy,

Qin Ye, who had slept all night in a daze, also opened his eyes dimly. He was getting old, and once he was drunk with this wine, he would feel weak all over.

Qin Ye could only lie on the bed for a while, feeling sober, and then got up to wash up. Knowing his absurd thing yesterday, he was inexplicably relieved, and stared at the 10 taels of silver in his arms in a daze Over there.

The heart of a child is rare. Although things are a bit absurd, people can be entrusted to people for life after all. It wasn't until Qin Keqing came in with a bowl of porridge that he realized that he said;

"But Qing, it's just in time for you to come. You keep this bank note. As a father, you have to go to the Hou's Mansion to supervise the work of those craftsmen."

Qin Keqing put down the porridge with a blushing face, and took it.

"Dad, drink some porridge first, to warm up, don't worry."

"Yes, no hurry, no hurry. This matter is over, and a big stone has been put down for my father, but Qing is still satisfied."

Qin Ye also asked with a smile, Qin Keqing stamped her foot in shame, and said coyly,
"Oh, daddy still makes fun of people."

At this time Qin Zhong came into the room and asked curiously;

"What are you making fun of my sister?"

"Go to the private school after dinner, don't be late."

Qin Keqing immediately changed his face and instructed, Qin Zhong could only answer with a shrugged face;

"Oh, I know."

After finishing his meal, Qin Ye went out after tidying up. As soon as he walked out, he was stopped not far away.

I was invited to the opposite Youlai Restaurant,
This restaurant is one of the three newly opened restaurants in the Hou Mansion, and it can be regarded as a bustling area. At a corner on the second floor of this building, several people are sitting around the table talking.

It turned out to be Jia Zhen from the Ningguo Mansion, who brought someone with a letter of invitation to wait for Qin Ye to go out at the gate of the Qin Mansion early in the morning.

Qin Ye went upstairs and asked with some doubts,

"The unknown general summoned someone to dismiss him, but what's the matter?"

Although Qin Ye was a civil servant and he was old, he still had a gentle face. He looked at Jia Zhen with a humble expression, and called him a general and an official as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion inherited the title of the Duke's Mansion. Although she had been reduced several times, Jia Jing was still a third-class title when it was passed on. Many, not to mention that the main family of the Ningguo Mansion is still the patriarch of the Jia family, let alone that Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion is also his immediate boss.

Therefore, facing Jia Zhen, Qin Ye naturally did not dare to make mistakes, and of course he was curious about what he was doing.

Today, Jia Zhen is also dressed very formally. Jia Zhen, who is in her prime, is wearing a red official robe, a black black gauze cap on her head, a white face and clean beard, and two walnuts coiled in her hands, playing with them.

asked with a smile;
"Master Qin, you're being polite. You've also met my old Jia family. Uncle Jia Zheng often praises you. I came to stop you today and I really want to discuss something with Master Qin."

Qin Ye responded neither humble nor overbearing,
"General, please speak freely, and the little old man can see what I can do to help."

Jia Zhen laughed and said again;

"This is also a happy event. The dog, Jia Rong, is now serving as the captain of the Great Inner Dragon, and has reached the age to discuss marriage. Isn't it because I heard that the old man has a daughter under his knees, who is virtuous and filial, and I like a family and a room, so I came here for the two of them? I came here specifically to ask my lord to marry me."

After Jia Zhen finished speaking, she stared closely at Qin Ye's eyes, her mind flashed a hint of obscenity in the deep sunken eye sockets of the graceful woman she saw yesterday.

Qin Ye couldn't believe it, what's going on, I haven't heard of it before.

Qin Ye's expression was naturally a little hesitant, but he still flatly refused. If there hadn't been the matter of Marquis Luo Yun yesterday, this Ningguo Mansion would be considered a good marriage, the home of the nobles and nobles.

"Don't dare to hide this from the general. The little girl has already made an engagement and exchanged marriage certificates yesterday. How can one daughter agree with two families?"

Jia Zhen couldn't believe it, she just met yesterday, so coincidentally, she got engaged yesterday,

"Your Majesty, you are truly amazing. May I ask which family's young master has such a blessing?"

Qin Ye pondered for a moment and still said it. He didn't want to publicize the matter, but Jia Zhen's eyes were somewhat unkind, so he said;
"Xu's is also an honorable family, and has some connections with the Jia family."

"Oh, there is an origin?"

Jia Zhen's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was still wondering which family it was. Could it be that it belonged to another room in the Jia family, Rongguo Mansion, no, there is no man of the right age in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu is still young, it is impossible for Jia Lian to have Wang Xifeng in charge Marrying a concubine, is it an ordinary clansman, thinking that as the patriarch himself, it is not easy.

Jia Zhen's eyes flickered, and she had already thought about it in her heart. As long as the members of the Jia family, no matter which house the men in, used some money around, coerced and lured them, and threatened them, she expected that those people would not dare to disobey her will.

"Then tell me, who is it?"

Qin Ye paused and said;
"This is still a distant relative of the in-laws of the Rongguo Mansion, the Wang family, Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu, who came here to drink yesterday and made a decision."

Qin Ye's face was also a little hot, and he promised his daughter out after a drink.

Jia Zhen frowned. How could it be him?
"My lord, it's a child's play. It's wrong to promise my daughter out after a drink. It's better to call off the marriage first, and discuss it in the long run. Our two families are trying to figure it out, right, lord Qin."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Ye with a pair of hazy eyes that meant something. Bad impression.

"General Jia's words are wrong. Since we have agreed on a marriage letter, how can we go back on our word, let alone a major marriage matter?"

Qin Ye directly refused, Jia Zhen looked worried, but she didn't want to push too much, because of the civil servant's bad temper, she picked up the wine cup and took a sip;
"Don't be angry, my lord. If this is the case, what if Luo Yunhou repents of his marriage?"

Qin Ye was in a dilemma. Could it be that Luo Yunhou would go back on his word, but when he thought that he was given a million taels of treasure yesterday, it must be impossible.

"Master Qin, if Luo Yunhou repents, can he reconsider the dog's marriage?"

"It's a long-term plan."

Qin Ye deliberately said this, but he wanted to see what the nobles of the two families looked like, in case Luo Yunhou turned his back on it and proved that he was wrong.

This is the end of Jia Zhen's words. Qin Ye, the stubborn old man, has not let go. Jia Zhen's face is worried, but she can't continue talking, so she has to give up, and it's not good to stay.
"Then I'll wait for the good news here. It's better for the boss to rest at home these few days."

Qin Ye felt relieved, and got up to say goodbye. After Qin Ye left, the smile on Jia Zhen's face gradually disappeared. The text in her hand was playing fast, her complexion was cloudy, and she looked in the direction of the Qin Mansion. It was also thoughtful, so it was decided.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Seeing that his master returned without success, Lai Sheng stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go, go directly to Luoyunhou's mansion and buy some gifts. Let's talk about it. Besides, it's not right for Luoyunhou to marry a wife. As an in-law, I still have to persuade him."

Jia Zhen said arrogantly, as the patriarch of the Jia family, he has been doing bad things in the Ningguo Mansion for a long time. No one dared to disobey him. , It's just talking nonsense with Jiao Da's mouth.

Thinking of Jiao Da, Jia Zhen secretly cursed bad luck.

As for Qin Ye, after leaving the restaurant, he walked home. When he reached the door of the house, the nanny opened the door and asked;
"Master, why are you back again?"

"It's just a bad thing."

Qin Ye didn't explain either, but he was uneasy. Although he still had some confidence, in the capital, Jia's family was a duke of two countries, after the founder of the country.

His family is a noble family with deep roots, luxuriant branches, and many in-laws. Although Jia Zhen has been stabilized for the time being, but looking at him like that, he has slapped his face. Luo Yunhou doesn't know what to do. Ah, I didn't expect there to be waves.

But it is absolutely impossible to regret the marriage by yourself, not to mention the plan that I have finally completed, if my reputation is spread, it will stain my reputation.

Qin Ye was also restless. After thinking about it, he decided to discuss the matter with his daughter.

When I came to my daughter's boudoir, I knocked on the door and walked in.
"How did Daddy go and come back, but something happened?"

Qin Keqing had a look of sadness when she saw her father entering the door, especially when she saw herself when she entered the door.

Qin Ye met his daughter's gaze, heaved a long sigh, and said;

"King, you don't know something."

Qin Ye didn't hold back, so he told the story of meeting Jia Zhen, the patriarch of Ningguo Mansion, in the restaurant to see what his daughter Qin Keqing meant.

Qin Ye himself is definitely not a shameless person who turns his face and is ruthless, but Qin Keqing is hard to understand why Jia's family is like this, is it that matter, and asked,
"Father wants to go back on his word?"

"There is absolutely no such thing. The Jia family's behavior is definitely not good. There must be something wrong with the family tradition, and this marriage is a marriage that I planned and arranged a long time ago. It was a marriage that I wanted so hard. How can I give up so easily? Besides, Luo Yun Hou and Ni are a good match."

"Then it will be done. There is no reason to say that there is no reason. If we really regret the marriage, what will the daughters do? The same father thinks that Luo Yunhou will regret the marriage."

Qin Keqing directly stated the power of it, and Qin Ye felt that this matter was impossible, but there was one thing, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion was not a kind person, and she must do something wrong.

"But Qing, just stay at home these few days and don't go out. After all, there are guards in the Hou's mansion, so I won't go out. I will stay here to buy food and wait for Luo Yunhou to arrive. If Jia's family eats in the Hou's mansion Kuai will definitely come back to find trouble, these nobles have vicious thoughts."

A look of helplessness appeared on Qin Ye's old face. He had spent half his life in the Ministry of Industry and wasted his whole life. He had a gentle and soft personality, and he had never been a fifth-rank official. Something happened, and although I was weak, I had to fight hard for my daughter.

"Father, don't make it difficult. If Luo Yunhou sincerely asks for marriage, he will definitely respond. If he is perfunctory, he will definitely regret the marriage, and I will lose face."

"He dares, if he dares to regret the marriage, I will file a lawsuit to the Shuntian Mansion. If it fails, I will beat the Wendeng drum to report to the Holy Majesty. I will risk it all. The city will be full of storms. Luo Yunhou still has face."

Qin Ye changed his expression of hesitation and said firmly that Qin Keqing also had red eyes, feeling sorry for her old father.

"Father, this is all for later, wait for a while."

"Ah."
