It is the exact time of Si.
"Li'er has met her father."
Stepping over the threshold, Jiang Li went forward to greet.
When Zhou was about to reach the hall, the maidservant beside her had already warned her that it was the uncles and aunts of the Qin family who had brought the young master Qin to propose marriage in person, which was a great honor to the Jiang family. She asked her not to talk nonsense and lose face for the Jiang family.
Jiang Li remained silent.
The Jiang family had been trading for years and was considered one of the top three wealthy merchants in the capital. As for the other two families, according to the original owner's memory, they only had legitimate sons and illegitimate daughters. If one wanted to make a fortune and also wanted a presentable mistress, a Jiang family girl was the best choice.
The old patriarch of the Qin family is very good at calculating.
Jiang Li arrived after a while. Jiang Sheng was very angry and had a cold face. However, because of the presence of the Qin family, he only nodded slightly and said, "These two are the elders of the Qin family, and there is also Young Master Qin."
Jiang Li nodded, with a half-smile on his face, and turned sideways to greet everyone.
Qin Ji put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked up at Jiang Li, and looked at her carefully.
He had not seen her since the last time he went into the water to save someone. If the old man had not personally said that his father had taken the position of Left Prime Minister, and marrying a merchant's daughter could not only dispel the emperor's concerns, but also take the opportunity to fill the treasury. Only with money and power could the Qin family be worry-free for a hundred years, he would not have agreed to this marriage so easily.
At this moment, the woman in front of him was wearing a simple moon-shaped skirt, her long black hair was simply tied into a fairy bun, and a white jade hairpin was inserted on it. She looked very fresh and elegant. Her every frown and smile also showed the demeanor of a legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, which was quite inconsistent with the rumors outside.
For a moment, Qin Ji was stunned.
"Brother Qin."
The woman's sweet voice sounded, and a faint smile flashed across Jiang Li's lips.
Brother Qin, my dear brother.
interesting.
Qin Ji has thin eyebrows and a handsome face, worthy of being the male protagonist of the original book. Unfortunately, his upper lip is too thin, and he looks like a heartless person. Jiang Li looked at the two of them in front of her without saying a word.
Jiang Shengsheng couldn't wait to meet Qin Ji. She smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, how are you? Brother Qin, how are you? Brother Qin, do you still remember Shengsheng? The last time I met you, it was so sudden. I didn't expect that when we meet again, I would have to call Brother Qin brother-in-law. This fate is really amazing."
Jiang Shengsheng looked at Qin Ji with affection in her eyes.
If looks could kill, Jiang Li felt that Jiang Shengsheng could swallow Qin Ji in one gulp.
Qin Ji came back to his senses, looked at the girl in front of him, remembered the day when Jiang Li fell into the water and how she looked worried with red eyes, and nodded.
Jiang Shengsheng's face was full of smiles.
In her heart, she was cursing Jiang Li for an early death. It was all because Jiang Li was the eldest daughter. Otherwise, she could have married the man in front of her directly.
Zhou smiled and said, "Shengsheng, come here. Today is your elder sister's big day. Don't disturb the important things. Li'er, come to mother's side as well."
In front of outsiders, Zhou mainly plays the role of a good wife and mother, a veteran actor. Jiang Li is also very cooperative at this time, sitting directly between Zhou and Jiang Shengsheng.
"Brother Qin is worthy of being the leader of the Four Young Masters of the capital. Sister, do you know that the woman most envied by the women in the capital now is you."
Jiang Shengsheng's eyes never left Qin Ji for a moment. She acted like a little girl and moved closer to Jiang Li. She lowered her voice deliberately so that everyone could hear it, just to remind Qin Ji that Jiang Li was not worthy of him.
Jiang Li sneered inwardly, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, pretending to be dumbfounded and said, "Is this the Yuluochun tea that the manor just sent? It's a good tea."
"Hmm." Jiang Sheng glanced at Jiang Li. He had specially asked his servants to prepare Jade Snail Tea today because the Jade Snail Spring at this time of year was only available to the imperial palace and ordinary people couldn't afford it. He hadn't expected that this previously unremarkable eldest daughter would actually know how to flatter him in front of the Qin family. Jiang Sheng was quite surprised and said with a smile, "It's this year's new tea. Master Qin, you guys should try it too. If you like it, I'll send some to your house later."
"Master is right. I'll have the housekeeper prepare some later. Today, our Li'er knew that Young Master Qin was coming, so she dressed up nicely. Women dress to please themselves, and as a mother, I can't rush her. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Have some tea."
Zhou was truly a shrewd person, fearing that she would suffer the slightest harm. What decent mother would speak of her daughter like that? Jiang Li rolled her eyes inwardly, but smiled as she poured tea for Zhou. With a slight flick of her wrist, the inky blue powder sprinkled into the tea bowl and disappeared in an instant.
"No problem."
After everyone put down their teacups, Second Master Qin calmly said, "Master Jiang, since everyone is here, shall we begin the ceremony?"
When the Jiang family moved to the capital, they had no relatives nearby. In addition, Qin's father had just been appointed as the left prime minister, so they were afraid of being criticized. So the two families agreed in advance that the ceremony of the alliance could be simple.
"Wait."
Jiang Li's sudden interruption made Jiang's father frown, and Zhou gave Jiang Li a warning look.
"Miss Jiang, do you have anything to say?"
There was no smile in Mr. Qin San's eyes. In his opinion, if the Jiang family did not have some wealth, it would be a dream for them to have any connection with his Qin family.
Jiang Li knew very well that the Qin family had always looked down on her, but it didn't matter, because she looked down on the Qin family anyway.
A marriage can be unpopular but not bizarre. She can get married but not be buried. The Qin family's burial place is unlucky for her.
"Father, Li'er doesn't want to marry Young Master Qin."
"What did you say?!"
Several voices rang out simultaneously. Jiang Sheng was just about to start scolding when he saw Jiang Li's tears falling like beads from a broken string.
"Father, I'm not afraid of being laughed at. I just want to survive."
With a bang, Jiang Li knelt on the ground. Even Bai Zhi was startled and quickly knelt down as well.
