Just based on the young master's age that was suitable for Wen Jiu to not get married to, there were seven or eight of them. And what the Mrs. Zhang was talking about, was obviously the Fifth Young Master Xie Qi who was happy about her in his previous life, but died on the same day.
It was unknown what the difference was between Father Wen and Mrs. Wen; Wen Jiu had been tricked so miserably in his previous life, to the point where he could not forget it even in death.
Initially, Wen Jiu thought that he had tarnished the reputation of the Wen Family, which was why the Mrs. Zhang was in such a hurry to marry him. But now, he realised that it was simply because the Mrs. Zhang and Wen Fang had discussed to sell her off.
"All of the young masters of the Xie Family are extremely handsome, and are extremely famous in the entire Changping County!" Mrs. Zhang said, "As long as you marry her, you will naturally know how your future husband will look like. This is a new set of clothes that Grandfather and I have prepared for you.
Wen Jiu sat without moving.
This was too hasty.
She did not reply, and allowed Mrs. Zhang and Wen Fang to continuously praise just how rich and wealthy Xie Family was. Young Master Xie Family was talented, he could not find such a good place even with a lantern.
No matter how they praised him, Wen Jiu still looked uninterested, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense.
When the sound of the music reached the entrance, the neighbors started to jeer and the chattering children began to cry from the noise. All the sounds mingled together, creating an especially noisy scene in the alleyway.
The young man's lazy voice passed through the gap between the door and the door, striking right into Wen Jiu's ears, "Jiu of the Wen Family, are you willing to marry my Xie Family Wife?"
Wen Jiu laughed.
Voluntary? How is this possible!?
Mrs. Zhang and the others evidently did not expect that someone from the Xie Family would come so quickly, but Wen Jiu did not have any intention to waver in the slightest, and they were instantly dumbstruck.
Wen Fang stood up and looked out of the window. The neighbors were already discussing this matter, wondering why the Wen family didn't reveal anything before they married their daughter. They complained that they didn't say anything earlier, and now they didn't even have time to prepare a bit of money.
"Jiu!"
Mrs. Zhang dragged Wen Jiu and stood up, beads of perspiration trickling down his forehead, "Hurry and answer! Someone is coming from Xie Family. Look at the young man wearing a red robe riding on a big horse outside, he's so handsome! "Why wouldn't you want to?"
Father Wen and Mrs. Wen could no longer sit still. They had just talked about this matter and Wen Jiu had not even agreed. Why did the Xie Family bring a bridal sedan to welcome a new person?
Mrs. Wen said: "Granny, Jiu has yet to agree to this marriage! What exactly is going on? "
"Don't ask anymore, isn't agreeing now the same? Just change your clothes, Jiu will answer! Young Master Xie Family will like you even more if you hear it! " Mrs. Zhang was practically coaxing and deceiving him.
Fifth Young Master Xie Qi had been weak since childhood, and would have to lie down for a few days just to blow the wind outside.
It was probably just to let one of his brothers take his place.
When that terrible thing happened in his previous life, forget about getting married off, he didn't even have the face to let others know that Mrs. Zhang took a red robe and wrapped her up, then sent her to the Xie's Mansion overnight.
Wen Jiu really didn't know who was outside the door now. If he could ask her if she was willing, then this person's character was probably pretty proper.
No matter how Mrs. Zhang urged him, Wen Jiu maintained a nonchalant look. Mrs. Zhang had no choice, as long as he showed his face, he would pull his broken throat and reply with a gong: I am willing! Naturally, he was willing! The bride is still dressing herself, so Young Master and the other lords, please wait a little longer! "
"Dad, Grandma still wants to marry when she's sixty-three this year. We can't afford to lose face here, so I'll help you go back to your room." Wen Jiu helped Father Wen up and left the mess behind.
In any case, she wasn't in a hurry to get married. Whoever wanted to marry off would have to!
Mrs. Zhang and Wen Fang were dumbfounded, they hurried Wen Youcai and said, "This fire has already been burnt to the eyebrows, Jiu is still in a temper! Hurry and manage it! "
Wen Youcai tapped his pipe on the table. "Jiu! If you don't marry, our Wen family will lose all face! Just say what you want! I will give all of them to you! "
This was exactly what Wen Jiu wanted to hear as he turned around and asked, "Where is the betrothal gift for Xie Family?"
The few of them did not speak further. They had sold Wen Jiu to please him in order to swallow the betrothal gift for him to use.
Wen Jiu said: "You swallowed my betrothal gift, and you still want me to get married? "In your dreams!"
She supported her father and went back into the house.
"Give it to her!" Wen Youcai slammed the table in anger. He was a person who cared about his reputation the most. He was most afraid of being pointed out by the neighbors. Give them to her! "
"She only has a total of fifty silver taels. If we give them all to her, how will we live our lives in the future?" The Mrs. Zhang was unhappy, so Wen Youcai went to take out the jar under the bed and poured out all the silver, "It was a one hundred silver betrothal gift. Your uncle borrowed fifty silver coins, so there are still fifty silver left.
A hundred silver was enough for them to live a good life for more than twenty years. No wonder they had urged her to marry Xie Family.
Wen Jiu took all the silver taels, the Mrs. Zhang urged her to go out, but she still stood there unmoving, and unhurriedly said to Li Yun: "I'm still short of fifty. Since your father had already borrowed it, it was only right that your father should repay the debts of his daughter if he wasn't around right now. "I know you can't afford it, so write the indenture contract."
The few of them did not expect her to have such a request, Li Yun immediately exploded, "Why are you doing this? Kneel in your nose and face! "If I don't write, what can you do about it?"
"Then I'll marry you into Xie Family." Wen Jiu smiled slightly.
"No way!" Mrs. Zhang rejected it flatly, "Your aunt can't take out that much money right now and get them to write you a promissory note.
"No." Wen Jiu returned these two words to Mrs. Zhang.
Li Yun's father, that gambler, owes him a huge debt. He didn't even pay back the money he borrowed from the family previously, and even his wife and daughter want him to raise them. The promissory notes written by this kind of person are no different from scrap paper.
Wen Youcai's face turned red with anger. "Then what do you want?"
Wen Jiu's expression remained unchanged: "If you don't have any silver, you can pay me the Wen Family's land deed."
She had been in business all her life, and other than making losses on Meng Chengyun, she had never lost.
No one spoke from the house anymore. Wen Jiu's parents were not good at speaking, and seeing that their daughter was not at a disadvantage, they could not even interject.
Outside, the Xie Family man urged, "It's time for the bride to go out."
"Alright!" Wen Youcai started to speak again, then said to Wen Fang: "What did a little girl like her look like when she was holding the house deed! Let Yun Yun write the indenture contract, we are all family, can Jiu really sell Yun Yun! "
Li Yun used the excuse that she couldn't write anything to reject's request. Wen Jiu rubbed his ink and wrote down his indenture contract, Li Yun signed and signed it with her handprint, then folded it and put it together with the silver.
Wen Jiu did not want to change her clothes, so Mrs. Zhang could only let her go.
Opening the door, Wen Jiu saw it immediately.
