"Sister, sister, what did Cheng Niangzi say? Is there an engagement? Do you like your husband's family? Is your husband's family short-lived? Do you have plans to have a daughter? "Jiang Pengji had just returned when the boy, who had just crossed his legs and swung his legs, immediately came up to her shamelessly.
Jiang Pengji brushed him away with a slap. This boy was so mischievous. He was itching for a beating!
"I'm thirsty!"
She raised her eyebrows at Liu Zhao. The lackey hurriedly poured tea for her and massaged her shoulders and legs. He was extremely attentive.
Jiang Pengji said with satisfaction, "There is an engagement, but that marriage fell through long ago. In the end, you benefited from it. If there are no other accidents, this marriage is in the bag. As long as Master Cheng gives his word, I'll get someone to pick an auspicious day in a few days and send an iceman to the manor to be the matchmaker for you. Master Cheng's family is very strict. You can't make any mistakes. You should restrain yourself … "
Liu Zhao's little face was smiling like a spring flower. He opened his mouth and said all kinds of sweet words that cost nothing.
If it was a young girl who had her first awakening of love, she might not be able to resist the temptation of this small mouth.
However, Jiang Pengji was his sister. Not only did the latter's heart not beat wildly, but she also slapped him.
"What about the betrothal gift? Have you thought about it? "Jiang Pengji asked him expressionlessly.
Liu Zhao was at a loss. He immediately looked at her with a burning gaze. If he could shapeshift, he might be able to see the dog's tail that was wagging behind him. Jiang Pengji clicked her tongue and said, "Zhao, don't tell me you want me to pay for your wife's dowry?"
"Sister, have pity on me," Liu Zhao said matter-of-factly. "Sister, look at me. I don't have any good points. Other than eating, drinking, and playing, I don't know anything else. I'm weak, pitiful, and helpless, but I can still eat. If you don't raise me, my whole family will have nothing to eat. "
Jiang Pengji had never seen such a shameless person. She was angry and amused at the same time. She wanted to slap his face again.
"How long do you plan to hide the assets that mother left for you?"
Jiang Pengji asked straightforwardly.
Don't think that she didn't know that Gu Min had left a generous inheritance to Liu Zhao before she passed away. It wasn't much for her, but for Liu Zhao, a life of glory and wealth was no problem. This kid doesn't lack money, yet he keeps complaining about being poor to me. Does he have any shame?
Liu Zhao wanted to play dumb, but when he saw Jiang Pengji's clear eyes, he knew that his secret could not be kept.
"Sigh, even if Mother left behind a mountain of gold and silver, I can only sit and eat it all away." He said helplessly, "Besides … on the surface, I'm just the son of a concubine from a lowly family. It's hard to guarantee that no one will suspect me if I make so much money all of a sudden … There are too many shrewd people working for Sister. I'm afraid that if I make too much money, they'll suddenly kill me … I'm also very, very bitter, sob sob sob!"
Speaking of this, Liu Zhao felt extremely bitter in his heart.
Other than being a good-for-nothing who didn't work hard, who didn't know how to distinguish grain from grain, everything he did was life-threatening.
He couldn't become an official, he couldn't do business. If Liu Zhao didn't think of a way to make Jiang Pengji support him, how would he be able to provide for his old age?
Weep weep weep (Oink ^ oink)
I'm bitter in my heart!
Jiang Pengji couldn't help but laugh. "By saying this, you want me to restore your identity as the third legitimate son?"
When Liu Zhao heard this, he was so scared that he almost jumped three feet high.
His identity as the son of a concubine was already being watched by so many people. If he were restored as the legitimate son, and he was born from the same mother as Sister, he wouldn't be able to live to see the sun rise the next day. Qiguan Rang, Yang Si, and Feng Zhen were all vegetarians? They'd really plot to murder him!
"Elder sister, please spare this little brother. It's not like you don't know how scary the shrewd people working for you are. They'll really kill people! I'm still your biological brother from the same mother. Can't we have some brotherly love? "Liu Zhao wished he could kneel down to Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji couldn't help but rub her brows. "Stand up, don't be so cowardly!"
Liu Zhao said righteously, "This isn't cowardice, this is called a wise man submits to circumstances!"
Jiang Pengji said impatiently, "Tomorrow I'll look for my father to ask for a betrothal gift for you. He'll pay half and I'll pay the other half. After all, you're the apple of Master Cheng's eye. If the betrothal gift is shabby, it'll inevitably give people the impression that you're being disrespectful. You can offend anyone but a scholar. You have to maintain your dignity. "
Liu Zhao stammered, "Asking for it from my father … This … isn't very good?"
Jiang Pengji lifted her foot and kicked Liu Zhao. She couldn't help but say angrily.
"You're his son, not mine. He won't pay for his son's marriage. How can there be such a good thing?"
Liu Zhao hugged her leg and said, "An elder sister is like a mother. Sister, do you understand?"
Jiang Pengji's face was cold. She grabbed Liu Zhao's collar with one hand and dragged him out. She threw him aside and closed the door in one go.
Liu Zhao lay on the ground and rolled around for a while. Seeing that Jiang Pengji wasn't soft-hearted, he sighed faintly and turned over to lie on the ground. He turned his head to look at the bright sunlight and the azure sky outside. As he looked, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl into a faint smile.
"Mother … please bless your son to get what he wants."
The sunlight was dazzling. He squinted his eyes lazily and maintained the posture of lying on his back. He took a nap with his limbs spread out.
The maids who were passing by saw him and they all chuckled and went around him.
Not long after, the news that the Liu residence was about to hold a big wedding spread out. Everyone knew that Jiang Pengji's brother was getting married.
"So what if he's getting married? He's just a son of a concubine. Why does my lord have to indulge him so much?" Yang Si rolled around in the piles of bamboo slips. The dark circles under his eyes were almost comparable to the iron-eating beast that Wei Ci had raised. "I'm not afraid that he'll grow ambitious."
Han Yu frowned when he heard that. Seeing that Yang Si was slacking off again, his excellent self-restraint almost broke down.
He couldn't wait to kick over the piles of bamboo slips next to him so that Yang Si would be buried alive by the bamboo slips and get rid of a great evil for the world.
"Liu Zhaowen is not good at martial arts and his wife's clan is Mr. Cheng. He can't borrow any strength to pose a threat to my lord." Han Yu calmly analyzed, "If my lord can't even tolerate such a useless brother of a concubine, I don't know how the outside world will slander my lord. If you're jealous, just say it!"
Yang Si exploded all of a sudden.
How was he jealous?
What was he jealous about?
Did he look like that kind of person?
Han Yu sneered, "I heard that Captain Jiang is pregnant and he goes to the military camp every day to take attendance."
He would rather walk around with a big belly and let the outside world speculate about the child's father than marry Yang Si. Yang Si was jealous.
Yang Si was so angry that he pulled out the tip of the writing brush.
Hum hum hum (* * ^ * * *)
Why did everyone bully him?
He was still busy today.
Yang Si held the bald writing brush in his mouth and fumbled to take down another brush from the brush holder. He sighed and continued to bury himself in his work.
The reactions of the others were similar to Yang Si and Han Yu. Some people snorted and some people were indifferent.
