Twin Brocade

Chapter 378 Trading
After receiving the letter, the Li family immediately adjusted all layouts.

Successive failures in the competition for imperial edicts and concubines in the palace let them know that Emperor Qinglong still maintained a high degree of vigilance against the aristocratic family.The more they move, the more they will make the emperor jealous.

A convoy full of silks, satins, gold, silver and jewels set off from Li's house to the capital.Most of the belongings inside were donated to Emperor Qinglong's inner treasury, and a small part was given to Li Jieyu as her expenses in the palace.

With this batch of property, Li Jieyu's situation in the palace gradually improved.Emperor Qinglong called her to sleep with her a few times, but he didn't go often on weekdays.

These movements in the palace have little to do with the Fang family.However, it is closely related to Fang Jinpei.Since the Li family has decided to put their flags to rest, it is useless to stay with her, so it is better to deal with it as soon as possible.

In the Li family's Zhuangzi, Fang Jinpei looked at Fang Shucai in horror, and said hysterically, "No! I won't do it."

Fang Shucai shook his legs impatiently, and said: "What's wrong, your marriage should be settled."

"I, the only person I want to marry is the young master of the Gong family!" She shook her head frantically and asked, "Father, this is what you promised me with your own mouth."

"You haven't woken up from your daydream yet?" Fang Shu waved his hand, as if trying to wave away a fly in front of his eyes, and said, "The young master of the Gong family has long been betrothed to Sister Hui, and because of her, even Chun Wei will be married." Give up. How long are you going to wishful thinking?"

"I can marry him as a concubine!" Fang Jinpei said in a daze, "Ehuang and Nvying, aren't two sisters serving a husband together?"

"I think you've lost your mind by reading. What Ehuang and Nvying, can you compare with them?"

"Father! It turns out that you look down on your daughter in your bones." Fang Jinpei screamed, "I want to go home, go home! I don't want to marry that old widower!"

"Go home?" Fang Shu smiled coldly and said, "You can't go back now. It stands to reason that you should still be in Sansheng Nunnery at this time."

"Then I'll go back to Sansheng Nunnery." Fang Jinpei seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and said, "Can I go back to the nunnery?" Compared with the fate of marrying an old widower, Sansheng Nunnery seemed less terrible.

At least, there, she still has a chance to go back to Fang's house.

Fang Shu's face darkened, and he said: "I'm doing this for your own good. You're such a big man, you've been away from Sansheng Nunnery for so long, do you think the Fang family won't know about it? They don't say anything, it's just for the sake of the girl's family's reputation. .”

"What's wrong with this marriage?" Fang Shucai said: "Master Yu Shi, you are lucky to marry him as his wife!"

"Blessing?!" Fang Jinpei said hysterically: "You, you are my own father! That old widower, who was half buried in the loess, even had two legitimate sons, so he was not considered a concubine. what?"

Since ancient times, a mother is more expensive than a child. Don't say that the man is old and she is wronged by marrying, it is the same thing whether she can leave children or not.With no heirs, when the man kicked his legs away, what good could happen to her, a wife with no title?

Hearing what she said, Fang Shu was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at her.

That old censor was someone the Li family had always wanted to win over. Since Fang Jinpei's idle move is useless, it's better to marry him as a gesture of favor.This is the deal Fang Shucai negotiated with the Li family.

As long as Fang Jinpei gets married, the Li family promises to give Fang Shucai a sum of money and give him a [-]% share in Silkworm Village, with annual dividends.Such a generous condition, how could Fang Shucai not be envious?
For a daughter whose reputation has been ruined, it was beyond his expectations to get so much in exchange.

Seeing that Fang Yucai felt guilty, Fang Jinpei became more confident and said with a sneer, "Father, did you take advantage of something and sell your daughter?"

This sentence hit Fang Shucai's pain, and he slapped Fang Jinpei with his hands, and said fiercely: "I am your father! If I let you marry, you have to marry, there is nothing to say."

"If you want, just be obedient. If you don't want to, tie me and you to the sedan chair too!"

Fang Jinpei was stunned. Only now did she realize that her situation was so bad.I thought there would be nothing wrong with following my father, but now it seems that I was completely wrong.

The way of waking up from the dream was extremely cruel.

In fact, as time went by, she herself knew that marrying Gong Wenjue was just her wishful thinking.However, she has already taken the first step and cannot turn back.Even if it was wrong, she could only bite the bullet and go on.

But she didn't expect that she would be betrayed by her own father.If I knew this earlier, I might as well stay at Fang's house peacefully.With her grandmother around, her marriage will not be too bad, at least they are of a similar age.

However, these have now become extravagant hopes.In the past, she discarded it like a shoe, but now it looks so beautiful.

How can she be willing? !

"No! No!" Fang Jinpei shook his head crazily, and said, "My daughter would rather die than marry! In those days, it would be better to die."

Fang Shucai had blue veins on his forehead, if she didn't marry, wouldn't everything that belonged to him be ruined?The two were arguing endlessly in the room, and there was a lot of movement.

There was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, but the two who were still arguing didn't notice it.

"Since you don't want to marry, I'll give you another way, are you willing?" The visitor stood at the door, watched the two quarrel for a while, and asked.

"Really?" Fang Jinpei stopped yelling, turned his head to look at the door suddenly, and said, "Okay, I am willing! As long as I don't marry that old widower, I am willing to do anything."

The visitor was against the light, and his expression was hidden in the shadows, so he couldn't see clearly.If Fang Jinpei's mind is clear at this time, he can see the faint smile on his lips, full of ridicule.

"No regrets?" the visitor asked.

"No regrets!" Fang Jinpei said firmly.

"Me, what about mine?" Fang Shucai asked with a flattering smile while bending his waist.

"Don't worry, your share will not be lost." The visitor said, "I will give an explanation to the Li family."

Fang Jinpei wiped away tears, and followed the visitor out of the room resolutely.Anyway, she has nowhere to go, the Fang family can't go back, and her father can't be trusted.It's better to follow someone, maybe there will be a way to survive.

"This..." Fang Shu chased after a few steps with a limp, feeling uneasy all the time.But this is the Zhuangzi of the Li family, and this person came with the consent of the Li family.

"Pei girl!" Fang Shucai shouted, "Be careful!"

Fang Jinpei hated him so much now that he didn't even turn his head, and didn't even answer, but instead quickened his pace.

"Alas!" Fang Shucai sat down on the threshold, watching the two people who were walking away, feeling empty in his heart.It's not the same as Fang Jinpei marrying that old censor, this time even he doesn't know where she will go, what is her fate?

After all, they were connected by flesh and blood, and he became a little annoyed, regretting that he should have brought Fang Jinpei into Li's house.
