Chapter 22 Angry

The dowry was piled up in the lobby, but Liu Jin's face did not have the smile of the past few days, because these dowry was not brought by Tang Feng personally that day, but were brought into the Liu family by Wang Cai, the foreign affairs manager of the Wang family. Wang Cai looked at Liu Jin with a teacup and said, "Master Liu, you came to my Wang family to propose marriage several times back then, why did I come to my third young master to send gifts and engage in marriage, but you looked unwilling? Could it be that Master Liu looked down on my Wang family and wanted to regret the marriage?"

Liu Jin saw the threatening eyes of the other party and hurriedly said, "The Wang family is in She County, and I dare not look down on me. But..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Cai's insult: "Since you don't want to regret the marriage, then the marriage will be decided. I can go back and repay the master and the young master. From then on, our Wang family and the Liu family will be a family."

Seeing that Wang Cai was going to decide on this matter, Liu Jin's face changed a little: "Butler Wang, please stay. I heard that your third young master has not recovered after being injured that day. How can this marriage be accomplished?"

"It turns out that Mr. Liu is worried about this, so you can rest assured that my young master has countless famous doctors in the world to treat him, so there will be no problem. Even if he cannot recover, a man can only be talented. He doesn't care about this appearance. Mr. Liu, you wouldn't refuse this good thing because of such a small matter, right?" Wang Cai was prepared when he came, and knew that they would use the wounds on Wang Dedao's face to talk about it, so he answered.

This answer made Liu Jin unable to refute it. He had to say bitterly: "Butler Wang is right, but this is just a matter of fact. It is not to be hiding. Just a few days ago, the magistrate Tang came to propose marriage in person, and I have agreed to this marriage. Now the little girl has been betrothed to the magistrate Tang. How can I promise the third young master of the Wang family again? So I really don't dare to agree to the tutor for this marriage."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Wang Cai pretended to behave himself and didn't know about it at all. "But there is always someone who comes first and then comes. Your Master Liu had already betrothed the daughter to my third young master, but why did he change it now? This seems to be incompatible with courtesy. And this time my Wang family came to propose marriage and told many people. Now I am afraid that the whole She County will know. If you say that if this is not a marriage, where will our Wang family face be put?"

"What? The housekeeper has already made this happen?" Liu Jin asked in shock, and the tea in his hand splashed out without any sense of the trembling of his body. Wang Cai said with sincerity: "Yes, it is rare for my Wang family to have such a happy event. Of course, I have to do a big fuss. How can I hide it without saying it? Besides, this is not because I am afraid of being wronged by Master Liu's daughter, so I think of a way? Why don't Master Liu appreciate it if he does this?"

Liu Jin had already felt something, but he could not guess the intention of the Wang family, so he could only say, "I am grateful for the hard work of the Wang family, but the matter was a big deal. I, Liu Jin, had to have only one daughter, and both families came to propose marriage, and I don't know what to do. Moreover, I have received the bride price of the magistrate of Tang County and signed the book of Wen Ping. This matter has been done, and Housekeeper Wang is probably going to be disappointed."

Wang Cai said leisurely: "In this way, Master Liu doesn't give me the face of the Wang family? Yes, my Wang family is just a commoner, and only has a few acres of land and private property. How can it be compared with the Tang County Magistrate Tang? Master Liu can't be wrong with such a decision." He took the word "county magistrate" very seriously, on the surface he was self-deprecating, but in fact he was pointing out one meaning, that is, Tang Feng is just a seventh-rank county magistrate, and it is not enough to compare with the Wang family.

Liu Jin's face became even more bitter when he heard this. The Wang family was powerful and Tang Feng had power. He didn't dare to offend either side, which made him dare not say anything. After a while, he said, "Then Mr. Wang, you say, if I agree to this marriage, how can I explain to Lord Tang? After all, we have all the brides and books, and some have also given a guarantee..."

"It's easy to deal with. You go to the county government and talk directly to the county magistrate Tang. You said that your daughter had actually made a marriage with my third young master, so she had to give up the marriage. I think what should I say that you should be better than me, right?" Wang Cai said and stood up. "It's not too early. I have to go back and report my life. I also asked Mr. Liu to make up his mind and don't hurt our families' harmony."

Liu Jin wanted to speak, but found that Wang Cai left without looking back. He had to sigh and sat on the chair and dazed. After a while, Liu walked in and said, "Master, what's going on? When you went to discuss the marriage, they didn't take it seriously at all, but now you have just signed up for a marriage, but the Wang family has come again."

"Women, what do you know?" Liu Jin scolded. After a little slow, he said: "This is the battle between the two of them, but they treat our Liu family's daughter as a battlefield. What should I do? It's all your fault. If you don't look at your daughter carefully and let her show up outside, now, why don't you get the trouble on your head?"

When Liu saw her husband get angry, he didn't dare to say anything. After seeing Liu Jin calm down, he said carefully: "I guess maybe the matter is not as troublesome as the master said." Seeing Liu Jin signaling herself to go down, she continued: "Where is my opinion, the Wang family may really not know that we have betrothed Huier to Lord Tang. And the reason why they come to propose marriage is only their third young master. Master, I heard that you came back that day that the third young master was poured on his face by a large pot of hot soup. I am afraid that even if the face is not rotten, it will be shameful, let alone find a wife. Their Wang family remembered that Master, you had been to propose marriage a few years ago, so they wanted to marry our Huier. The reason why they promoted this matter with great fanfare was to make it difficult for you to refuse."

"What you said makes sense, but no matter what, their purpose is no longer important now. The key is who we should choose." Liu Jin said.

"Actually, if I choose Lord Tang according to my wishes, he is a handsome man, and the third young master of the Wang family is afraid... And Master, I looked at Hui'er's meaning and had some meaning to Lord Tang. In order for my daughter to not be wronged and marry a good husband, let's leave the Wang family's marriage, right?"

In fact, Liu Jin's idea was no different from his wife's. He had thought about it before when he agreed to this marriage. However, now the people from the Wang family came to the house, but he knew the power of the Wang family, and he was afraid that he could not afford to offend him, so it was so difficult to make up his mind. Now after listening to his wife's words, he had an idea: "I only have such a daughter in my life, so I can't make her suffer. The people of the Wang family have always been domineering, and the third young master has become like this. I'm afraid that he will suffer grievances when he goes there. Why don't you let her marry someone he likes? As for the Wang family, it's not good to have my son-in-law in him." After understanding this, Liu Jin stood up suddenly.

When Liu saw that her husband suddenly stood up after he said something, he was frightened and just thought that his words made him angry. But he heard him say, "You go and prepare some gifts. I want to go to the yamen in person to meet Lord Tang." Although he didn't know what he was thinking, Liu seemed to immediately take out a few hundred-year-old ginseng and some other things and hand them to Liu Jin. After Liu Jin took the things, he immediately went out to the yamen.

At this time, Tang Feng in the yamen already knew about the Wang family's marriage proposal. When he first heard about this, he was stunned for a long time. He didn't know why the Wang family did this. It was not until Tian Jing, a worldly-wise man who was very familiar with the affairs of She County, explained that he understood. Tian Jing said: "Sir, Liu Jin had gone to the Wang family several times to marry his daughter to Wang Dedao, but he did not get their recognition. I think it was the adult proposal that made them feel detrimental, so they suddenly came here. And they spread the matter out to compete with your behavior, and at the same time to force the adult to break up this marriage. After all, the adult is a court official, so there is no bad rumors about this wife."

After listening to this analysis, Tang Feng had his own opinion. He guessed that this time was actually the same as the last time's tax and silver business, in order to make things difficult for him and to lose face. Although Tang Feng did not take the matter of face too seriously, he was also very angry at the behavior of the Wang family: "I didn't expect that you were defeated by me and caused trouble again. It seems that you really have the awareness of being a Xiaoqiang." He cursed in his heart, but Tang Feng asked Tian Jing: "In your opinion, what should I do?"

"There are too many things in our county to rely on the Wang family. I think the adults will give in this time, and took advantage of the rumors of the Wang family to withdraw the marriage. The reason is that this woman is unfaithful. I think that if this happens, the Wang family will naturally bear the love of the adults."

"Fart!" Tang Feng suddenly spoke slutty and said loudly: "It's okay to have this matter related to the reputation of my official, but it's so tired that a girl's family is innocent. How can I do such an ignorant thing? His Wang family just wants to fight me, so I will fight him! I don't believe they can go against the sky. No matter how I say that I am the county magistrate of She County, and I want me to tolerate them?"
