Chapter 178: Short of money, Marquis Jia En comes to sell his daughter (Part 2)
Is King Zhongshun easy to mess with?
Not to mention the Rongguo Mansion, even the Niu family, which has the support of the Queen Mother, would have to be careful and avoid Prince Zhongshun!
If I follow Sun Shaozu to the Zhongshun Palace to collect the debt, wouldn't it be like an old man eating arsenic - tired of living? !
When Jia She thought of this, he dared not agree to the request of this "rough man". He hurriedly pawed at the ground with his four legs and screamed as if he was struggling for his life: "My dear nephew, don't be reckless. Don't do anything rash. Let's make a long-term plan first!"
After shouting "let's discuss this in the long run" twice, he saw that Sun Shaozu seemed to be angry and only wanted to get out, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Can't I just not lend the money?!"
"Why, uncle doesn't want to lend money again?"
Sun Shaozu then stopped and frowned, saying, "Just go to Prince Zhongshun's mansion and you will get five thousand taels of silver. This is a good deal..."
"What a good deal!"
Jia She cursed, "If you want to die, go by yourself, don't drag me down with you!"
Having said that, he stormed out.
But just as he reached the entrance of the hall, he suddenly stopped, turned back and looked at Sun Shaozu suspiciously, and said, "Sun Jia Dalang, you are not trying to scare me with Prince Zhongshun, are you?"
This idiot is not that stupid!
Sun Shaozu knew King Zhongshun's temper much better than he did. How could he dare to come to his house to ask for money?
Besides, with this relationship, King Zhongshun is his natural backer, which is much more useful than holding tens of thousands of taels of silver.
For example, if Jia She came to "borrow" money under the name of Rongguo Mansion, in the past, even if Sun Shaozu was reluctant, he would have to give him some money to get rid of him.
But now, I have the confidence to be generous!
Of course, if it was Jia Zheng who came, the situation would be different, because he has a daughter who is a favorite concubine.
"That's what Uncle Shi said!"
Sun Shaozu glared and said aggrievedly: "How about we go to Prince Zhongshun's mansion now? Come on, prepare a horse for me..."
"snort!"
Before anyone outside could agree, Jia She snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left the living room.
"Uncle? Uncle!"
Sun Shaozu chased after him and shouted twice, then seeing him disappear into the darkness, he could not help but turned his back and laughed smugly.
To be honest, this matter was nothing, but he had been suffering from the Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had the upper hand!
So after a while, thinking that Jia She had already left the gate of Sun's mansion, he simply changed his muffled laughter into loud laughter.
“Hahaha… eh?!”
Just as he was laughing, he suddenly felt someone peeping at him from behind. Sun Shaozu subconsciously turned around and saw Jia She appearing outside the hall door quietly again!
He stopped laughing awkwardly and said, "You...why...why are you back again?"
However, Jia She pretended not to hear anything and just stared at Sun Shaozu from head to toe, his face showing a mixture of emotions, as if he was performing Sichuan opera face-changing.
Sun Shaozu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart as he was stared at by him, thinking to himself, had he really pissed off this idiot?
If this is true, it is no joke!
Apart from anything else, as long as Jia She, at all costs, asks his relative, Prince Wangzi, to make a petition to transfer Sun Shaozu to the wild areas of Guangdong and Guangxi, his bright future will be ruined by more than half!
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozu was about to say a few soft words, or even spend some money to avoid disaster, but suddenly he heard Jia She ask, "My dear nephew, I heard that you are planning to remarry recently?"
Sun Shaozong prides himself on being decisive and swift, but his younger brother's actions are even more decisive than his.
That day, he acted as the eldest brother and, after finalizing the matter, quickly spread the news that he was going to remarry - this would make it much easier for him to find someone to inquire about the woman's character and appearance.
Jia She was also well-informed, so it was not surprising that he received the news.
But why did he bring this up now? Could it be that he wanted to be a matchmaker for himself and make some money?
Who cares? As long as we don’t have a complete falling out, it’s fine!
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozu said, "My brother has reached the age of marriage, but there is no suitable woman in the family to take charge. It is always inconvenient to arrange a marriage for him, so I plan to marry a concubine first."
"So that's how it is."
Jia She nodded and said earnestly, "Since you want to marry someone who is in charge of things, you can't marry a girl from a small family who has never seen the world. It's okay if she doesn't know how to deal with things, but if she delays your brother's good fortune, it will be counterproductive."
The more you talk, the more it sounds like a matchmaker!
Sun Shaozu then asked tentatively: "Uncle, are you going to arrange a marriage for me?"
"Well..."
Jia She showed some hesitation on his face, but thinking of the charming young widow, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your sister will be sixteen next year. She is born with a good appearance and is very well-behaved and sensible. If I entrust her to someone else, I will definitely be reluctant to let her go - but our two families are old friends, and I know you inside out..."
Although Sun Shaozu had long guessed that he was a matchmaker, he never expected that this guy would actually marry his daughter to him!
Not to mention others, even Jia She's second wife, Xing, and Ningguo Mansion's Jia Zhen's second wife, You, were all from humble backgrounds - because only families like these would be willing to marry their daughters to widowers!
And now, Jia She actually took the initiative to hand over his daughter to him!
Although she is just a concubine's daughter, she is still the daughter of a Duke's mansion!
Sun Shaozu was stunned for a moment, but then he understood - Jia She didn't want to marry his daughter off, he clearly wanted to sell her!
So he cautiously asked, "Uncle, are you going to promise your daughter to me?"
"Well..."
Jia She puffed out his belly and said in an official tone, "Although you are older than my daughter, you can still be considered a good match. If I really want to marry you, it is not impossible."
Sun Shaozu's reputation in treating women is about the same as that of his master Jia. It's a pity that he could even use the word "good match".
And the one on the left says 'barely', and the one on the right says 'not impossible', which shows that they are obviously waiting for a good price!
This idiot actually wants to sell his daughter!
Sun Shaozu despised him to the extreme, and then flatly refused, "I appreciate your kindness, uncle, but I dare not delay my sister's best years!"
Just kidding!
He married this second wife home with the intention How could the daughter of the Duke's mansion accept such a ridiculous thing?
If the news gets out, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the two brothers?
"you!"
Jia She had never thought that he would be rejected without hesitation when he took the initiative to "marry" his daughter to Sun Shaozu?!
I wanted to walk away immediately!
However, when he thought of the young widow from Chongwenmen, with her pretty look of hope mingled with a hint of doubt, his legs could not move at all.
