Chapter 755 Substitute Marriage
Yan Shi was most afraid of this, especially when the old lady shot her sharp eyes, she suddenly trembled all over, stuttering and didn't know how to open her mouth to speak.
Webster was about to speak, but Zhao Yunxiang had already said, "Mother, we can't let us talk about this marriage. What my son means, if the princess really arranges for someone to come to propose marriage, the family should prepare Bao'er's dowry carefully, and there can be no mistakes. .”
Wei Shi didn't like to hear these words, she pouted her lips, and gave Zhao Yunxiang a wink, "Look at what the master said, no matter how powerful the princess is, isn't she just a little girl, how powerful can she be?"
Zhao Yunxiang looked towards Webster, and solemnly warned, "If you don't want to follow the same mistakes as the Zhou family, you can try provoking her, but when that time comes, don't say that I am trying to survive with a broken arm, regardless of your life or death."
Wei Shi was very aggrieved, and tearfully said, "Master, this concubine is just talking. Who doesn't know that the princess and the governor of the East Factory have a very close relationship. Could it be that this concubine knows this and still insists on plucking the tiger's whiskers?"
When Zhao Yunxiang heard this, he was furious, "Absurd, you can say this? Humph!"
He really wanted to say that Wei Wei's family boasted of a scholarly family, but he couldn't say such bickering words as a grown man, so he simply got up and went to the front yard on business grounds.
Zhao Yunxiang seldom went back to the backyard since the restlessness in the back house. He sat in the study and thought about it carefully. Finally, he took out a box from the bookcase behind him and took fifty thousand taels of silver notes from it. , went to Zhao Baohua's yard.
Zhao Baohua is playing chess in the house. It is rare for her to be so leisurely. She is as relaxed as a traveler with a heavy load. Finally, she arrives home, puts down her heavy luggage, sits in the courtyard, and enjoys a cup of tea.
"Father!" Zhao Baohua stood up in shock when he saw his father coming in, and greeted him. She made tea with her own hands and served it in front of Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhao Yunxiang looked at Zhao Baohua's room, it was so plain and simple that it didn't look like the boudoir of a lady, it was no different from an ordinary girl.
Zhao Yunxiang took out the 50,000 taels of silver note and handed it to Zhao Baohua, "If you marry into Prince Xiang's Mansion, you will be sister-in-law with the princess in the future. Our family can't compare with Xie's family. The 50,000 taels of silver note You collected it, it was given to you privately by my father, when you leave the court, as a rule, the public will have a dowry of 10,000 taels of silver, as for how much your mother will give you, my father does not know."
Zhao Baohua thought for a while, and took the bank note, "Father, everyone has their own way of life. A daughter will not compare with the princess, and it is impossible to compare with the princess."
She once heard that the princess is a medical expert. Back then, Princess Changshou paid 50,000 taels of silver in order to treat her daughter.
Fifty thousand taels may be just a number to the princess, but to the Zhao family, it is of great importance.
Zhao Yunxiang seldom cares about his daughter. In his opinion, the son is the one who will inherit the family business in the future. Therefore, since he was a child, he has raised his son by his side. It is a pity that his son Xiao's mother, his son and the Yan family are really close. It's too similar.
"As a father, I hope you will remember in the future that your brother and your mother are compatriots. You can ignore others, but you must take care of your brother."
Zhao Baohua was a little disappointed. She only felt that the fifty thousand taels of silver bill in her hand was so hot. She thought for a while and said, "Father, you can wear as big a hat as you have a head. If brother is really not suitable for studying, forget it!"
Seeing his father's displeasure, Zhao Baohua said, "My daughter's meaning is not to stop my brother from studying, but to let my father not push my brother so hard. If God cares for my brother, it is like caring for my daughter. Maybe in the future, my brother will also meet with his father." To the noble person in my life!"
Zhao Yunxiang couldn't hear such words, his face darkened, "I asked you to take care of your brother in the future, and I didn't ask you to find an official and make a fortune for him."
"Yes, my daughter remembers it!" Zhao Baohua hurriedly stood up and said.
Only then was Zhao Yunxiang satisfied, got up, gave his daughter a few more instructions, and then left.
Three days later, Mrs. Sun formally came to propose marriage. Zhao's house was cleaned inside and out, and the door was opened. Everyone in the city knew that the eldest daughter of the Zhao family was going to be hired by Prince Xiang's mansion as the princess.
Zhao Yuehua hid in the house and cried for three days since she found out about this, her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't open them. What kind of person is Yan? What good can a daughter raised by someone like her do?"
Zhao Yuehua cried, "My mother always said how good Jingzhao Webster is. Now, people have taken a fancy to my sister, what am I? Woohoo, from now on I will be a joke of Zhending Mansion."
Wei Shi put his arms around his daughter, "Don't cry, you cry so much, in my heart, it's like being stabbed with a knife."
"I don't care, mother, the concubine is mine, and no one is allowed to take it away." Zhao Yuehua threw herself into Wei Shi's arms, "Mother, please help me, woo woo, if I let my sister marry, I will die."
Wei Shi felt very distressed when he heard his daughter like this, "Okay, let me think of a way, don't cry first, your crying broke my heart."
The nanny said from the side, "If this is the case, we must find a way to prevent the eldest girl from getting married. These days, there is no unreasonable divorce, or let the second girl marry in place of the eldest girl, or let the eldest girl take the lead. Let the second girl marry in the past, and in the future, with the second girl's means, are you afraid that you won't be able to gain a foothold in Prince Xiang's mansion?"
This is really a good idea, Zhao Yuehua hurriedly raised her head, looked at her mother, seeing her mother in a daze, she shook her head, "Mother, don't you agree?"
"Why don't I? I'm just thinking, what's the best way?"
As soon as Zhao Yuehua thought of how the princess looked down on her back then, hatred would surge in her heart, and she said through gritted teeth, "Doesn't she value elder sister very much? Mother, if elder sister can't survive, how can she marry her and be her sister-in-law?"娌?"
Wechsler gently stroked his daughter's back, "My son, you have the guts, no matter where you go in the future, I can rest assured."
Wechsler is responsible for the intermediary at home, if she wants to make a move to someone, it is really too easy.
Time passed, and it was about to be ordered, but Zhao Baohua fell ill. The family invited a doctor to check his pulse, and he said it was a cold. Unexpectedly, three days later, Zhao Baohua passed out.
Yan Shi sits by the bed and cries every day, feeling helpless.
The maid Luluo next to Zhao Baohua asked Yan Shi to see another doctor several times, and Yan Shi promised well, but when it came time to ask for a doctor, she didn't tell the woman in charge.
She always felt that something was wrong. One day, when she went to the kitchen to pick up food, she heard that the second girl was embroidering a wedding dress. She was so surprised that she threw the suitcase on the ground and asked, "Is the second girl engaged?" ?”
