Chapter 46: exchange

   Chapter 46 Exchange

  The people who came here were really sad, and there were some who left after a trip. Zhao Hanzhang led Zhao Erlang to sincerely thank him.

   There was Fu Tinghan standing beside her. It was hard for the guests to pretend that she was so big that they could not see.

   Even a picky person like Wang Yan couldn't help but say to the left and right: "Fu Jialang is filial, keeps promises of integrity, and is a gentleman."

   He felt a little regretful, "It's a pity."

   left and right asked, "What a pity?"

  Wang Yan smiled and didn't speak, but unfortunately he was already engaged, otherwise he could have mentioned it for his Siniang.

   He didn't say it, and the people around him also guessed it, and couldn't help but sigh, "Shang Cai Bo made the right last move, he found a reliable backer for the orphan of the big house."

   "Fu Zhongshu is an upright person, and Fu Langjun is a gentleman. As long as the Fu family does not fall, the Zhao family members can live in peace."

  In such a world, stability is the greatest happiness.

   Zhao Zhongyu may have figured this out, perhaps because of the entrustment of Zhao Changyu on his deathbed, his attitude towards Zhao Hanzhang has eased a lot.

   Her face was warm, and she was once told to rest in the middle.

  Fu Zong arrived before noon. After his condolences, he hid aside and whispered with Fu Tinghan, and then turned around to find Zhao Zhongyu.

   Zhao Zhongyu was extremely surprised, "Get married during the period of filial piety?"

  Fu Zhen sighed: "Yes, it was originally scheduled for June, and the original intention was to let Changyu leave with peace of mind. Who would have guessed that such a change would happen."

"Nevertheless, I still want the two children to get married as soon as possible. First, Changyu's wish will be fulfilled. Second, Changrong is not too young. After three years of filial piety, he is nineteen, so he is too old. So I have to feel wronged Sanniang Dai Xiaocheng."

   Zhao Zhongyu: "...What Brother Fu said should be Chang Rong's grievance."

  It was difficult for him to make a decision for a while, "After all, getting married is a big deal, and at this moment..."

  Fu Zhen comforted him and said, "Don't worry, this is the period of filial piety, everything is simple, the dowry and dowry are prepared early in the morning, and you don't need to invite many musicians, you can get married with a simple arrangement."

   He said: "I know Changyu's last words, I have decided that after they get married, let Changrong accompany Sanniang and Erlang to help the coffin back home."

   Zhao Zhongyu was greatly moved, and after pondering for a moment, he responded, "Alright."

  Fu Zhen was slightly surprised. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly, not even Zhao Hanzhang.

But Zhao Zhongyu did agree, and he specifically asked Mrs. Wang and Zhao Hanzhang to say, "Let's wait until the funeral is over, and I've already asked Fu Jialue to count the days while the hot filial piety is getting married. After seven days, wait for your grandfather. After returning to the soul, go out and pray to the dead at that time, which will also reassure your grandfather."

   Zhao Hanzhang said with a moved face: "Thank you uncle and grandfather."

   Zhao Zhongyu said: "Don't thank me first, I agree that this matter is required."

   Mrs Wang became a little uneasy.

  Zhao Zhongyu put out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and said, "There are no outsiders here, so let's open the skylight and say something bright. I know that the eldest brother prepared so much dowry for you for Erlang. At least half of them belong to Erlang, right?"

   Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, without hiding it, and nodded directly, "Yes, Erlang and I are half of this dowry. I also promised my grandfather, and I will give the half back to him when he is an adult and gives birth to a child."

"Then write down this promise," Zhao Zhongyu pushed the pen and paper toward her, and said, "Write down the copy of the dowry list that should belong to him, sign it, and make it in duplicate, you take one copy. We will keep a copy in our family, and when he becomes an adult and gives birth to a child, we will witness the division.”

   Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward to take the pen and paper, smiled slightly, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Zhongyu, "Uncle Dayi, Sanniang thanked Erlang first."

   Zhao Zhongyu's face was serious, "You don't think I'm too busy. I naturally believe in you, but I don't believe in the Fu family."

  Fu Changrong was too attentive, and the Fu family was too anxious to marry Zhao Hanzhang. He was both moved and suspicious, so he could only ask Zhao Hanzhang for protection.

   Since those things were left to the two children by the eldest brother, they couldn't just fall into the Fu family's pocket.

   Zhao Hanzhang was also unambiguous and wrote a letter of commitment, but the specific dowry was too much, and she couldn't memorize it all, so she didn't write it.

Zhao Hanzhang thought that he was about to leave Luoyang, and although he couldn't bear it, he couldn't help but slapped the uncle, "Uncle, you know that after the funeral, our sister and brother will help the coffin to return to our hometown. At least one or two years, as many as three or four years, the industry here in Luoyang is not easy to operate, and…”

   Zhao Hanzhang said with a wry smile: "You know, I'm a woman, and Erlang is like that. Let alone making money in our hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult to not lose money, so I want to sell some of it to you."

   Zhao Zhongyu was stunned and frowned, "You want to sell dowry?"

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "Gold and silver are easier to carry and can be stored for a long time. Erlang and I are not good at business. It is better to have cash than to operate a pavilion."

"Or my uncle and grandfather are willing to exchange the property and pavement of his hometown with me," Zhao Hanzhang said: "We will stay for a few more years when we return home this time. If we stay long enough, Erlang may find a good match in the village, and the assets of his hometown will be found. It’s easier to talk about relatives if you have more. And there are more relatives in your hometown, and it’s better to run a business.”

   Zhao Zhongyu pondered, he knew all the dowries in Zhao Hanzhang's hands, and those industries included rich, not only in Luoyang, but also in Chang'an and Runan, with assets all over the place.

   Among them, Luoyang and Chang'an are the most valuable.

  Although the relationship with Chang'an is weak now, it is a big city after all. Once it is settled, the assets of Chang'an and Luoyang will be much better than that of Runan.

   It’s just that it’s not good to hear about this, and this grandniece…

   Zhao Zhongyu looked at her suspiciously. Does she really want to change, or is she pretending to be a fake?

   Of course, Zhao Hanzhang really wanted to change. She also said: "We don't have to tell others about this. We make the deed ourselves. I will hand over the land deed and house deed to my uncle. When outsiders ask, they just say that I entrusted my uncle and uncle to help manage it."

   She said, "Erlang and I are young, so it makes sense to rely on our relatives."

   In other words, this is a private transaction and will not be reflected in the dowry list, avoiding reputation risks.

   But they made a private contract. Now that Zhao Zhongyu is the patriarch of the Zhao clan, and Zhao Ji is Shang Caibo, it is impossible for Zhao Hanzhang to go back.

  The time and place are right, Zhao Zhongyu nodded and agreed after weighing it.

   Zhao Hanzhang then said: "Then let Uncle Cheng do the delivery. I'm not familiar with these assets, so it's best for him to handle it."

   Zhao Zhongyu was also more relieved and satisfied, and nodded.

   Zhao Hanzhang handed the written commitment letter to Zhao Zhongyu, got up and saluted and left with the somewhat dazed Wang Shi.

  It was far away from the study that Mrs. Wang reacted. She quickly grabbed Zhao Hanzhang and asked, "Sanniang, why did you sell those properties at such a low price? That's a good thing that your grandfather chose and left for you."

See you tomorrow
