Chapter 136 Scared (Part 2)

When Han Jingyan heard that Jiang Wenrui said that he wanted to marry his own Yuxi for his youngest son Jiang Hongjin, Han Jingyan was stunned for a moment. But Han Jingyan quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "My two children have been raised by my mother since they were young. For such a big matter, I must ask my mother first before I can answer Brother Jiang."

The reason why Han Jingyan didn't agree immediately was that Jiang Hongjin had only got the honor of a scholar and didn't know what his future would be like; A marriage will be granted soon, and Yuxi's worth will also increase by then, so she will not worry about not being able to find a capable in-law.

Jiang Wenrui smiled and said, "Success, then I will wait for the good news from Brother Jing Yan."

On the way back, Han Jingyan felt very strange. As far as he knew, Yuxi didn't go to the Jiang family's banquet two days ago, so why did the Jiang family fall in love with Yuxi? However, now is not the time to pursue this matter.

Back at the Duke's Mansion, Han Jingyan told the old lady about Jiang Wenrui's proposal to marry Yuxi for his youngest son: "Mother, I said that this matter requires your consent, but I didn't agree immediately."

The old lady nodded and said: "The eldest son of the Jiang family is promising, but the younger son is not even a jury now. It is not appropriate to make a marriage right now." The girl carefully cultivated by the Han family is for marriage, for for the benefit of the family. Jiang Hongjin was still too young to see a bright future, if Jiang Hongfu didn't pass the Jinshi exam, wouldn't Yuxi be included in it.

Han Jingyan also felt that it was not appropriate to make an appointment now, but it would not be good if he refused: "Master Jiang has a good future, if he shirks, it is not good to offend him." In officialdom, it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Mrs. Jiang felt that Han Jingyan's concerns were right, but she had a ready-made reason: "Just tell him that the elders are orderly. Yuchen's marriage has not yet been settled. As a younger sister, Yuxi must not be ahead of her elder sister." The king's thoughts on Yuchen are clear to everyone personally, and Concubine Song is also happy to see it succeed, so as long as the imperial edict of marriage is given, Yuchen will be the queen concubine. Jiang Wenrui is such a shrewd person, he wouldn't turn against them because of his failed marriage.

Han Jingyan felt that this reason was very appropriate, it would not offend others, and it also gave him a buffer time. Of course, it's not impossible to promise Yuxi to Jiang Hongjin, the premise is that Jiang Hongjin is upright, not a dou who can't help.

Although Jiang Wenrui was a little disappointed when he heard such an answer, but fortunately, he didn't think about finalizing the marriage right now, he just let it go first, and whether the marriage will be successful can be discussed later. As long as the son lives up to his expectations, it is impossible for the Han family to reject this marriage.

When Han Jingyan saw this, he didn't say he was dead, he just smiled and said that he would wait until Yuchen's marriage was settled. Han Jingyan's answer like this also leaves room for it.

This matter does not even count as a verbal agreement between the two families. It can only be said that the Jiang family has this intention, while the Han family is on the sidelines. On the side of the Han family, the old lady and Han Jingyan had a tight-lipped relationship, so naturally no news would spread. But on the Jiang family's side, Mrs. Jiang Yu is the wife of the family. It is impossible to hide such a big matter from her.

When Mrs. Yu heard the reply from the maid who was installed in the old lady's yard, she was stunned: "What? You want to tell my Jin'er about the fourth girl of the Han family? Is this news reliable?" Fourth girl of the Han family, let's not talk She didn't have much impression of that girl, only Han Jingyan's official position was lower than that of her husband. How could she let her son marry such a girl as his wife. If her son was allowed to marry Han Yuxi, her son would have to be suppressed by Jiang Hongfu for the rest of his life. She would never allow such a thing.

Yu's confidant mother-in-law Yue Pozi said: "Reliable, if it is not confirmed, the news will not be revealed. Madame, what should I do now?"

Gritting her teeth, Yu said, "I'll ask the master when he comes back."

The mother-in-law thinks a little further: "Let's go and find out about the fourth girl of the Han family, so it will be easier to convince the master.

"

Yu Shi is not familiar with Yuxi, only met once last year, but she even forgot what Han Yuxi looks like. However, she did remember some of what Han Yuxi did that day: "Go and call Qi'er over, I will ask her personally!"

After Jiang Wenrui came back in the evening, Mrs. Yu sent her confidant woman to invite him over. As soon as he saw Jiang Wenrui, he asked, "Master, do you want to give the fourth girl of the Han family to Jin'er?"

Jiang Wenrui didn't expect Mrs. Yu to know about it, so he didn't hide it now: "Well, mother thinks the fourth girl of the Han family is very nice, and she is very suitable for Jin'er."

Yu's voice suddenly became louder: "What is suitable? Where is it suitable? That girl is tricky and weird, disobedient to her elders, and indifferent to her sisters and brothers. How can such a person be worthy of our family Jin'er?"

The words of the wife and the mother are completely different. But obviously, Jiang Wenrui believed in his old mother, not Yu Shi: "My mother said that the child is open-minded and cheerful, and she is a very good girl. How did you say that?"

Mrs. Yu is not stupid, how can she not know that she and Mrs. Jiang have different weights in her husband's heart: "What a good girl? A good girl will suppress her stepmother? Master, Jin'er is my son, I will never agree to let him marry such a woman." Yu knew from Jiang Qi that Han Yuxi was such a powerful person, and she looked down on him even more.

Jiang Wenrui was extremely annoyed: "Where did you hear these crap things? Jin'er is also my son, can I still harm him?"

Yu Shi said: "Where did I know that this is not the point, the point is that if such a woman marries into the family, she will disturb the family. Master, it is impossible for me to let my son marry her."

Jiang Wenrui laughed back in anger, and said, "You don't want to marry a girl, and she doesn't want to marry a girl to you."

The Yu family can look down on Han Yuxi, but the Han family has no right to look down on her son: "The Han family is just a donkey's dung. What right do they have to look down on my family Hongjin." Yu is a concubine and doesn't study much. , the foul language burst out in anger.

Jiang Wenrui said: "When the imperial decree of the marriage comes, the third girl of the Han family will become a certain concubine Jing, and the fourth girl will have to worry about her marriage? On the other hand, Hongjin, what else does he have besides being a scholar? What does he have for the Han family to see?" Come on?" Jiang Wenrui weakened himself.

If he hadn't listened to Jiang Qi's words, he might have been a little bit excited about the girl Yu Shi who could marry the prospective princess. But after listening to Jiang Qi's evaluation of Yuxi, she definitely looked down on Yuxi: "Don't say that the Han family hasn't produced a concubine yet, even if there is a concubine, I will not let my son marry Han Yuxi. "A princess is nothing, and she is not the queen's sister. Furthermore, Han Yuxi and Han Yuchen are not biological sisters of the same mother.

Seeing that Yu Shi couldn't explain it, Jiang Wenrui left the main courtyard angrily.

The two couples quarreled, and the quarrel was so fierce that it was hard for the people in the yard to know. From time to time, all the servants of the Jiang family knew that the master and his wife had a dispute over the second master's marriage. And this matter also fell into the eyes of caring people.

A few days later, Yuxi got the news. Looking at the news in hand, Yu Xi's eyes were as big as copper bells, and she said to herself: "How could this be, how could this be..." She was actually taken by Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang wanted to marry her Tell Jiang Hongjin.

At this time, Yuxi regretted so much that she almost wanted to hit the wall. She must have lost her mind at the time, or else she had such a good attitude towards Mrs. Jiang. If she behaved badly, Mrs. Jiang would definitely look down on her. But at this time, regret is unnecessary, there is no medicine for regret in this world. The most urgent thing is to get this matter resolved.

After leaving the study, Yuxi immediately called Zisu and said, "Have someone go and see if Big Brother is in the front yard? If not, when Big Brother comes back, let someone tell me that I have something to do with Big Brother."

Seeing Yu Xi's solemn expression, Zi Su hurriedly responded, "Girl, I'll go right away." Seeing that there must be something important.

Han Jianming was not in the mansion, and he didn't come back until it was getting dark at night. Hearing that Yuxi was looking for him, she was a little surprised, and said, "Go and call Miss Si over here."

Yuxi hurried to Han Jianming's yard.

It was the first time that Han Jianming looked at Yuxi so anxiously, and asked, "What happened? Scared you like this?"

Yuxi said: "Brother, the Jiang family has promised my father and wants to betroth me to Jiang Hongjin. Brother, you must help me stop this matter."

Han Jianming laughed and said, "I haven't heard of such a big event, where did you hear the news." Han Jianming felt that the sequelae of that nightmare were still very serious.

Yu Xi said: "Brother, I didn't lie to you, it's true. I guess my grandmother must know about this. Brother, you promised me at the beginning, and you will definitely help me stop the Jiang family's marriage. Brother, You can't count what you say." Yuxi is most embarrassed by Jiang's family now. Let her marry into Jiang's family, she would rather become a nun.

Seeing Yuxi's attitude, Han Jianming put away the smile on his face and asked, "Where did you get the news from?"

Yuxi said: "The news came from the Jiang family. If my guess is correct, Mr. Jiang should have mentioned this matter to Dad. With Dad's temperament, he should have asked grandma." After all, she also Even if the old lady watched her grow up, she must have asked the old lady about the marriage.

Han Jianming had a half-smile on his face: "The hand is so long, it even reached Jiang's house. Tell me, when will someone be placed in."

Yu Xi would not say that she had placed someone into Jiang's house seven years ago. Yuxi said: "It's just that after I had a nightmare last time, I felt very uneasy, so I spent a lot of money to buy off a few servants of the Jiang family. This will come in handy."

Han Jianming didn't believe Yuxi's words, it was very simple, no matter who said marriage, if the marriage failed, they would not say it carelessly. Therefore, it is impossible for the servants of the Jiang family to find out such secret information. Only those who serve close to him can get such secret news. However, although he was skeptical, Han Jianming did not ask in detail: "Don't worry, I will help you solve this matter."

When Yuxi heard this, she was relieved. For the rest, she had to wait for a definite answer before she could truly feel relieved. (to be continued)
