Chapter 421 I Want to See the Master’s Abilities
"The Xia family has a daughter. I asked someone to find out about her. She is said to be as beautiful as a flower. Moreover, our two families are well matched, so we are thinking of marrying them."
In fact, Aunt Xue originally wanted to find a legitimate daughter of an official family. However, this idea was directly dispelled by Wang Ziteng.
The Xue family was rich, but they were imperial merchants. If it was a small official from a small family, it would be fine, but why would an ordinary family marry their legitimate daughter to them? But if it was a concubine's daughter or a small official, Aunt Xue would look down on her. After all, her family had the Jia family and the Wang family as support, and now they had a marquis as their son-in-law. If they married the daughter of a small family, wouldn't it be a loss of face?
During this period of time, Aunt Xue almost inquired about all the daughters of marriageable age in Shenjing City, screened them over and over again, and talked to Wang Ziteng about the options many times before finally set her eyes on the Xia family.
"I came here for one reason, thinking of asking Cong'er to help me find out what kind of personality the daughter of the Xia family has. After all, a family like ours cannot marry someone with a bad personality. Secondly, if this is feasible, I also want to borrow Cong'er's influence to help me speak in favor of him. My aunt only has this one son, and even if he doesn't make any progress, I want him to have a decent marriage."
After Jia Cong pondered for a moment, he nodded and said to Aunt Xue, "Don't worry, Aunt. I'll send someone to find out a little bit first, and I'll tell you in detail when I get the news in the next two days."
Although he knew about Xia Jingui in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.
In this era, even the names of girls in the boudoir are not allowed to be known to outsiders. It would be inappropriate if he appeared to know too much about Xia Jingui.
"Okay, since Brother Cong has agreed, I feel relieved." Aunt Xue said happily .
After chatting for a while, Aunt Xue stood up to say goodbye. Jia Cong arranged for guards to escort Aunt Xue directly out of the mansion, and then returned to Youshi's courtyard.
"Hasn't Old Lady You and the others come into the mansion to accompany you these past two days?" Jia Cong held You in his arms.
It has to be said that although Zhen Muring and the others have extraordinary looks and demeanor, when it comes to figure, they really cannot compare with a beauty like Youshi.
This soft and smooth flesh, as white as jade, is truly fascinating.
Youshi shyly twisted her body and said, "It's because the master is getting married these days and our house is busy, so we didn't let them come."
Holding Jia Cong's hand, You Shi said hesitantly, "I have something I want the master to help me make a decision on."
"What's the matter? My dear Zhi'er, if you ask, the master will definitely help."
"Master, this is not about me, but about my second sister."
"My second and third sisters were brought here when my mother remarried. I didn't know about this before, but my mother told me a while ago that my second sister was actually promised to someone else, and that it was arranged when my second sister's father was still alive."
"This family was originally the head of a grain farm outside the city. The original surname is Zhang, and the name is Zhang Hua. The Zhang family originally had some property, and Zhang Hua's father was also an honest man. However, after Zhang Hua's father passed away, Zhang Hua indulged in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He lost his job as the head of the grain farm. Now his family is penniless, and I am afraid he can't make a living."
"He came to me a while ago and said he wanted my second sister to marry him as soon as possible, and that she had to bring a hefty dowry."
"How can I let my second sister marry such a scoundrel and suffer? Who knows, if Zhang Hua gets into gambling, wouldn't he dare to sell my second sister out for money?"
"Although my two sisters and I are not born of the same mother, we have a sisterly bond. Even if they cannot marry into a rich family, they should at least marry into a respectable family. I really don't want such a marriage."
"It's just that my sister's father and Zhang Hua's father have already signed the documents, but they haven't exchanged the gifts yet. If my second sister takes the initiative to cancel the engagement, Zhang Hua will naturally be unwilling to do so given his current personality. Therefore, I thought of asking the master to help get a charter to see if we can cancel the engagement."
Jia Cong listened to Youshi's words, stroking her smooth chin, and was a little absent-minded for a moment.
In fact, Jia Cong prefers You Erjie and You Sanjie to You Sanjie. Although You Sanjie is hot-tempered, she is straightforward and does not have too many small thoughts. But You Erjie gives Jia Cong the impression that although she is weak, obedient and well-behaved, she is somewhat scornful of the poor and loves the rich.
Of course, this is human nature. Which girl doesn't have her own heroic dream? If Zhang Hua is really like what Youshi said, it is normal for You Erjie to look down on him. However, this matter cannot be done rashly. It is not difficult for Jia Cong to do this. It is also easy to use any means to make Zhang Hua cancel the engagement.
However, Jia Cong wanted to see what kind of person Zhang Hua was. If he was really a person who had not made any progress as Youshi said, then it might not be a bad idea to give him a helping hand. After all, even for Youshi's sake, he could not let her sisters suffer.
But if Zhang Hua's character was not like that, Jia Cong would not do anything to bully others. At most, he could pick up Zhang Hua himself. With his status and power, wouldn't it be easy for him to give someone a decent life?
"Master, I'll have someone go and ask about this matter first!" Jia Cong said with a smile.
Youshi didn't know what Jia Cong was thinking, but she happily agreed. In fact, she didn't want to interfere in this matter. After all, the engagement had already been made, and it was not a good thing to take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
But my mother kept coming to me to talk about this, crying every time, and I really had no idea what to do. Besides, even if she did it, wouldn't she have to rely on the power of the Jia family? If it didn't work out, it would be better to let Jia Cong help.
"Master, why do I feel like I'm about to become a matchmaker?"
"First, my aunt asked me to look after Brother Xue's marriage, and now you asked me to help my second sister deal with this matter. Who knows, I may put up a sign in the future, and whoever asks me to speak for it should be paid."
Yu-shi rubbed her body into Jia Cong's arms and said softly, "The master is naturally capable of doing great things. Isn't it because the master is so capable that everyone comes to ask for help?"
"Master, you have many abilities. Which one of your abilities do you like the most?"
Yu Shi bit Jia Cong's earlobe with her silver teeth and murmured, "Don't you know what kind of ability I like, Master? Now, I want to see your true ability..."
How could Jia Cong refuse such a request? Immediately, under Youshi's infatuated gaze, Jia Cong picked her up and then went to the inner room...
