Chapter 303 Wouldn’t it be nice to get married sooner?
Jiang Hailin was a little unhappy. Why should the eldest brother get thirty taels for selling his own daughter?
"Consider it a loan from me. When I pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, will I be able to pay it back?" Jiang Haiqing knew what the fourth brother was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, so he said quickly.
"Borrow? Big brother! How do I know if you can win this time?" He knew what level his big brother was at.
Jiang Haiqing looked unhappy when he heard this. "How could I fail? I am very confident this time. Wasn't it because I didn't have a famous teacher to guide me before? Don't worry! Even if I fail this time, I can still pay you back."
The old woman had run out of money these past two days, and she came to him for money. Jiang Haiqing did not dare to push the old woman too far, after all, she held his IOU in her hand.
At that time, the old woman asked Jiang Haiqing to pay the money in installments, and until now, he still owed her 150 taels. If he hadn't had a weakness, he would have ignored the old woman.
Relying on her status as Zhou's ex-mother-in-law, she shows off in front of me. What kind of person is that?
Jiang Hailin was skeptical, but he was indeed somewhat tempted. Master Tang was just a little older, and if Liu Ya married him, she would have a good life, wouldn't it be more comfortable than at home?
By then, I will be Mr. Tang’s father-in-law, and Mr. Tang will definitely support me in taking the imperial examination.
"That one hundred taels is too little!" Jiang Hailin shook his head.
"Don't be too greedy. One hundred taels is not a small amount. He even prepared a betrothal gift! He said he had prepared two taels of silver so that he could marry Liu Ya in a grand ceremony."
"Really?" Jiang Hailin asked with some surprise.
It seemed that he really wanted to remarry. Jiang Hailin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"That's right, she's just a girl. When you become the father-in-law of the Tang family, will you still worry about not having money to spend? When the time comes, don't forget me, your big brother. I'm counting on you!"
"No problem!" Jiang Haiqing finally showed a hint of smile on his face, "When will you propose?"
"Tomorrow is an auspicious day, so let's do it tomorrow!"
"So urgent?" Jiang Hailin was very surprised.
"Wouldn't it be better to get married sooner?" Jiang Haiqing was just saying this when he saw Liu Ya carrying a bucket of pig food out of the kitchen.
"Liu Ya! Take a break. You are sweating all over." Jiang Haiqing said with a smile on his face.
Liu Ya was very shocked. Her uncle never even looked at her on weekdays, so why was he suddenly so nice to her today?
"Uncle! I haven't fed the pigs yet!"
"Go! Go!" Jiang Haiqing waved his hand.
Looking at Liu Ya's back as she left, he said, "You'll have to get married sooner or later anyway, so don't let the night get too long and cause more trouble. Don't tell your wife about this for now, or she'll tell everyone about it.
Especially, it must not reach Jiang Youzhen’s ears. I heard that she had returned from the county town. Liu Ya has a good relationship with her, and if she knew about it, she would definitely cause trouble.”
Jiang Hailin agreed, "Brother, what you said makes sense!"
"But what about the silver?" He rubbed his hands and said.
"Don't worry! You won't lose a penny. Tomorrow morning, you can lure Liu Ya to my house in town, and then you can give her money and teach her. It happens to be at my house, so you can let your sister-in-law dress her up."
"Okay, okay! I'll listen to you, big brother."
After Jiang Youzhen finished his meal, he thought of Liu Ya.
At this time, Liu Ya should be collecting firewood on the mountain, right?
[Sign-in location: Tongzhou Prefecture City Prefecture School, please go there to sign in as soon as possible! ]
"Oh! Has the mission been released?" Jiang Youzhen hadn't heard of any missions in the past few days and thought the system was dormant!
When the system didn't respond, Jiang Youzhen knew that this guy was pretending to be dead again.
He carried a backpack and went to the mountain. He hadn't been here for a long time, so Jiang Youzhen planned to take a walk around the inner area.
Climbing up the hillside, I saw a thin figure chopping wood in the distance.
"Liu Ya!" Jiang Youzhen called her.
"Second brother! You're back?" Liu Ya was overjoyed when she saw Jiang Youzhen.
She ran over quickly, and Jiang Youzhen also came to meet her.
"Second brother, why did you go out for so long this time? I missed you so much." Liu Ya pulled Jiang Youzhen's sleeve with attachment, her eyes red.
"The exam will take many days. Have you come to my house for dinner these past two days? Why do you look hungry and thinner?"
Jiang Youzhen looked at the little girl's thin face and sighed slightly.
I originally wanted to talk to Luo and ask her to take Liu Ya home to raise. But she was just a little girl, just right for helping with household chores, so there was nothing wrong with raising her.
Unexpectedly, Luo refused to give up no matter what she said. Jiang Youzhen was puzzled. She obviously didn't take it seriously, but she refused to let go, even if she offered a hundred taels.
"Here! Roast goose, brought back from the county town, warmed on the stove, it's still hot!"
Jiang Youzhen took out a yellow paper bag from his backpack. When he opened it, the aroma of roast goose immediately filled his nose.
Liu Ya swallowed her saliva, it smelled so good.
"Eat it!" Jiang Youzhen took the lead in tearing off a goose leg and stuffing it into Liu Ya's mouth.
Liu Ya’s eyes widened, and then she narrowed them in satisfaction.
"I'm going to the capital to study in a while, and I'm afraid it will take a month or so for me to come back."
Jiang Youzhen and Liu Ya sat side by side on a big rock. The fresh air here made her mood feel more open.
Liu Ya stopped chewing and asked, "Second brother, do you really have to go?"
"Yes! We must go!" Jiang Youzhen turned to look at Liu Ya, only to find that her eyes were already filled with tears.
"But before I leave, I will find a way to buy you back."
"Ah?" Liu Ya was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears of joy, "Will Second Brother really find a way to buy me back?"
"Yes!" Jiang Youzhen nodded solemnly. She already had an idea and would find someone to do it tomorrow.
"Okay, you collect firewood here, I'll go inside."
Jiang Youzhen said this and without waiting for Liu Ya to stop him, he used the light body technique to enter the inner circle. Liu Ya opened her mouth wide, very shocked.
She didn't understand how her second brother, who was by her side just now, could disappear in the blink of an eye?
Capital
"That's enough! As soon as I asked you to produce the charter, you started to make excuses. From yesterday's discussion to today, no one has been able to take on the responsibility.
The reform of the new law for dock reconstruction is imperative, so let's start from Tongzhou Prefecture! The second and fourth brothers have detailed plans in their memorials. Who do you think can take on this important task?"
The emperor looked down as he spoke. At this time, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhang Xianwen, stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, since the Fourth Prince was the first to come up with this good idea, why not send the Fourth Prince to supervise?"
In fact, they did not admit it verbally, but they all knew in their hearts that this was a move that would benefit the people, the officials, and the court.
From fundraising to signing contracts to setting up shops, all aspects have been taken care of.
"Minister Zhang, I think it's not appropriate to send the Fourth Prince over for this matter? The Fourth Prince is in charge of the military affairs department of the capital, so I'm afraid he can't leave. Moreover, the Second Prince has also submitted a memorial, so it would be safer to send the Second Prince for this matter."
