Chapter 18 Looking for a Husband’s Family? You Should Go and Have a Look
Even though she was mentally prepared, Feng Ying still felt her feet go cold and her heart go colder after hearing these words.
A Jian is only eleven years old.
But in the eyes of others, A Jian is just a fool. What kind of family would want a fool?
What do you need a fool for?
There is no such thing as a good family. Even if the family is good, the partner is definitely not good.
Marrying Ajian might simply be to treat her as a sow and continue the family line.
A fool wants her to endure the pain of childbirth to continue the family line, which actually means he wants to torture Jian to death.
Feng Ying clenched her fist and said, "Ah Jian is still young. Aren't you and your husband a little too hasty? Ah Jian doesn't want to see me now."
"What do you mean by ignoring each other? Do you know who he is? He is the eldest son of the governor of Changshan. If my Li family was not famous, your mother's family sells salt and they would not even look at you."
The governor holds local military power. Those who can become governors have connections with higher-ups. They are usually the sons of aristocratic families and can pass the position down from generation to generation.
How could such a good marriage fall into the hands of A Jian?
Feng Ying said: "I don't know where this young man is."
"How can you talk like that?" Li Zhengchun pointed at Li Jidao who was sitting motionless on a small stool and said, "Your A Jian is the fool. You still look down on others."
"Sanlang!" Old Lady Li scolded Li Zhengchun, looked at Feng Ying and said with a smile: "Yes, the young man from the Xiao family is not in his right mind now, but he was a talented man before, and he almost passed the imperial examination, but he suddenly went crazy."
"She is more than suitable for Jian. In fact, a family like theirs can find a girl who is perfect even if they want to. They just want to find a daughter from a noble family as their legal wife. Jian has been sick since she was a child, so it is hard to say whether they would be interested in her."
It turns out that he is just looking for a tool to continue the family line.
Feng Ying refused: "Ah Jian is too young. Thank you Xiao family for your kindness, but I don't want to get Ah Jian engaged yet."
The Xiao family looked down on Ah Jian, and she even looked down on the madman in the Xiao family.
No matter how glorious it was before, what difference does it make?
Now he is a madman. A Jian will not hit anyone, but who knows if that madman will hit anyone.
Li Zhengchun had not noticed Feng Ying was so disobedient before, and was very annoyed and said: "This matter is not up to you. I am not discussing it with you, I am just telling you."
"He is the governor. If Jian really marries him, my brother will be able to gain a firm foothold in the court."
Old Lady Li nodded: "Otherwise, there is unrest in the capital this time, and your eldest brother's position needs money to supplement it. Will you take the money?"
When the old lady said the last sentence, she looked at Feng Ying with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
In the final analysis, it was just to use A Jian to threaten Feng Ying to get money.
And it was agreed and helped by Li Zhengchun.
Feng Ying was furious, clutching her handkerchief and holding back her anger: "I don't understand what my mother is saying. Whether my elder brother is a good official or not, isn't that his own business? Why do you want me to pay for it?"
"Why is it Jian who is getting married? Doesn't your brother have a daughter?"
Old Mrs. Li looked at Li Zhengchun with shocked and angry eyes, as if asking Li Zhengchun, listen to what she is saying.
Li Zhengchun was so anxious that he asked, "Brother, as an official, can't you borrow some light from me?"
The question is what light did she borrow?
Over the years, her brother donated money to become an official, and Lee Jung-un got his official position by spending money. The question is, what did she borrow money from?
"I won't pay this money. I don't have any money, and Jian won't get married. This is my attitude."
Li Zhengchun was already furious. He stood up and asked, "Do you want to disobey?"
Li Ji said: [Looking for a husband, seeing the young man, why don't you go? Are you old and have been deceived by men, and don't like fresh male bodies? ]
Feng Ying: “…”
We are all ready to fight to the death.
"Okay, let's go and see him. We haven't been out for a long time, so we should meet a fresh young man."
Both Old Mrs. Li and Li Zhengchun were stunned.
What about the money?
Not coming out?
Li Zhengchun asked, "Didn't you just say that Jian was still young and didn't agree to meet her? Why did you agree now?"
Old Lady Li said, "Yes, as long as your eldest brother's official position can be preserved, it's OK if we don't see each other."
[Tsk, you just want money, but if we have money, why don’t we spend it ourselves? How can spending money be better than looking after the young man? ]
Yes, if they have money, won’t they spend it themselves?
It doesn't cost any money to see the young man.
The more these two people oppose each other, the more beneficial it is for them to see each other.
"I can't keep A Jian here all my life. I've thought it through. I should take a look at such a good family." Feng Ying looked at Li Zhengchun and raised her eyebrows with a hint of provocation.
Li Zhengchun: “…”
"Then can you please speak frankly next time? Why are you acting like this?"
Li Jidao thought: [Women are made of water and are good at changing. Why do we have to speak directly? Who made this rule?]
Feng Ying asked Li Zhengchun: "Why do you have to say it directly? Who made the rule? Now you don't agree? You just want my money, don't you?"
Li Zhengchun: “…”
"You are totally insane!"
Li Jidao sneered: [Do you have medicine? You are so poor that you can't even take out Liuwei Dihuang Pills. ]
Feng Ying asked with a smile: "My dear, do you have medicine? Can you cure it? Do you want me to pay for the doctor?"
Li Zhengchun slammed the table, dared to make fun of him.
"Feng Ying, are you crazy?"
【Whether you are crazy or not depends on your performance. 】
Feng Ying crossed his legs and drank a sip of tea: "Is this crazy or not? It depends on whether my husband will push me hard enough. If he pushes me hard enough, even a dog will jump over the wall and a rabbit will bite people, let alone me."
"You are a dog..."
"Okay, stop arguing." Old Mrs. Li really didn't like what they said. The same thing happened to Feng Ying. Why did such a good person suddenly become so weird?
Isn’t it just that Jian almost died?
Old Madam Li said, "Since you both agree to meet each other, then go ahead. The governor's wife is going to take the young master to the Thousand Buddha Temple to burn incense. Three days later, Feng Ying, you should get ready. Don't scare Ah Jian..."
Pointing at Li Jidao, she was stunned and found that her granddaughter was sitting there very quietly, not crying or making any strange noises.
Although the eyes are somewhat dull, they are as dark as ink and as calm as water, which makes people unconsciously attracted to them.
It’s quite good.
"It looks pretty good with the nose and mouth covered like this, but it's obvious how ugly it is on weekdays." Mrs. Li said, "Be sure to cover it up on that day, so as not to bump into anyone."
Li Jidao: [? ]
[Young man, are you polite? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? ]
Feng Ying couldn't help but want to laugh. There were times when Ah Jian was disliked by others.
She said, "Our Ah Jian is looking at us well, but I won't let them look at each other."
After saying this, he bowed and left with Li Jidao.
Old Mrs. Li and Li Zhengchun exchanged glances and were both speechless. Feng Ying was probably really traumatized. Her ugly daughter was really ugly, and she was the only one who treated her as a treasure.
The third day arrived quickly. The Thousand Buddha Temple in Luoyang City was very famous, and the Bodhisattva was very efficacious. It was also the season for peonies to bloom, and many tourists gathered in and outside Luoyang City to burn incense and admire the flowers.
