When I woke up, I was fine

Now that the two have agreed to get engaged, don't delay each other.Guan Lengyan sent people to bring a lot of good things from Luoyang.And this journey was very low-key, and there was no fanfare. Along the way, he came to Chang'an with many excuses such as giving gifts and selling goods.

Liu Wenjing and Li Jizhuang went to see the dowry as matchmakers.

After the two of them finished watching, their eyeballs straightened immediately. They thought about some expensive antique calligraphy and paintings, which should be a few of them, but they didn't expect that they were carried out one by one, and they were all boxes containing large clothes.

Liu Wenjing couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to Li Yuan quickly.

"Mr. Tang, you didn't see it. I couldn't help it at that time. They were extorting money. It really made me feel so distressed."

Then he described to Li Yuan vividly the several large boxes brought over. Although Li Yuan was particularly interested in these calligraphy and paintings, he was more interested in how many boxes of gold were brought in?

"Gold? Yes, there are only two or three boxes. Those are common things. Mr. Tang, let me tell you what treasures there are."

Satisfied, Li Yuan stood up and asked Liu Wenjing to sit down, "Zhaoren, there is one more thing to trouble you. You also know that His Majesty is too strict with our family now. With so many treasures, plus our The two families are doing things with great fanfare, which may attract some people's attention. You go to Cao's house again and tell the wife of their family that our two families have handled things quietly, firstly to reassure His Majesty , and secondly, it also saved the Cao family."

Liu Wenjing nodded, "This is what it should be. Mr. Tang, you should wait for my good news at home."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left. After he stood by Guan Lengyan and raised the matter, Guan Lengyan patted the table angrily.

"The girl I conceived and gave birth to in October is the eldest daughter of me and his dead father. We love her like an eyeball. Now, she is doing well. Marrying someone secretly... To put it bluntly, This is not as good as those who are concubines. Those who are concubines know how to set up a few tables of wine when they enter the door. What you mean is that I sent the dowry and children over. Without congratulations, Tang Guogong is looking down on people."

After finishing speaking, his hands and feet were trembling with anger, Cao Bohang hurried to comfort him, but Guan Lengyan pushed him away, and yelled at the door, "Come in, drive these people out, if you dare to come again next time, Just break your leg and tell them clearly that our girl is as golden as a jade leaf, and she is not someone who can be easily humiliated."

There was a loud applause from the outside, and a group of young and strong young men rushed in, carrying sticks in their hands, carrying Liu Wenjing out of the gate with sticks between them. Liu Wenjing just stood up, and the gate closed with a bang, no matter how much he knocked on the gate, it would not open again. .

This change happened too fast, after Liu Wenjing knocked for a while, her hands were numb, and she found that the other party did not open the door, and then looked at the wrinkled clothes all over her body, which were covered with dust, and couldn't help but take a few shots.

Originally, in his opinion, this matter could be done easily, but he didn't expect it to be the result now, so he had to slap the dirt on his body, got in the carriage, and hurried to find Li Yuan.

As soon as Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help complaining in his heart, "You shouldn't have said that. I asked you to discuss it. I didn't say that you should inform others to send the dowry and the girl to our house...you let me say What are you doing?"

This matter has been done like this, and Liu Wenjing was almost beaten up, "Then next..."

"I'll trouble you next time," I don't bother the two masters. Besides, the more people know about this matter, the more troublesome it will be. Li Yuan has no choice but to teach Liu Wenjing what to say sentence by sentence. Not an idiot, I immediately understood what Li Yuan meant.

When he was about to leave, Li Yuan grabbed him and stayed behind, "You said you were thrown out by a group of young men?"

"Oh, Mr. Tang, you don't know, everyone is like a wolf and a tiger. I think they are all Lianjiazi."

After hearing this, Li Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Are there many people?"

Liu Wenjing thought about it for a while, "They were the ones who brought the dowry this time, and nothing happened on the way...there should be quite a few people."

After Li Yuan heard it, he felt even more elated. He was wondering all the time, how did Mrs. Guan keep such a huge family property after the death of Mrs. Cao's father-in-law?

Now I can see clearly that they have raised private soldiers.

Li Yuan really wanted to say that his father-in-law, whom he had never met, really died so well.

Concealing his cheering mood, he pulled Liu Wenjing again, "You will definitely be kicked out by Mrs. Guan when you come to the door this time. I will give you an explanation, and you will do as I say."

In Li Yuan's vision, the Cao family was not prosperous, and after his father-in-law died, the biggest problem facing the Cao family now was not being annexed, but that there was no one to inherit it.

The eldest lady of the Cao family is just a girl, and her status cannot command the private soldiers in the family. If it takes a long time, these private soldiers will have other thoughts. Why not discuss it with the Cao family at this time. Adopting one of the sons to the Cao family can not only allow Mrs. Guan to give up the power of the Cao family, but also prevent this power from affecting the overall situation.

In other words, if my family is really ordered by the emperor in the future, and the mountain collapses after a hundred years, I will naturally pass the throne to Jiancheng.If we rely on the strength of the Cao family to start an army now, it will be easy to form an unstoppable trend in the future. If the Cao family has a male, it may cause trouble again.As long as one of Jiancheng's sons is adopted by the Cao family, that power will always be under the control of the Li family, so there is no need to worry about them getting too big, or having other thoughts.

It's the Li family that gets the most of the benefits.

After Li Yuan made up his mind, he gave Liu Wenjing a few words, and then Liu Wenjing changed her clothes and went to visit Mrs. Guan again.

After a while, Liu Wenjing was ushered into the hall. Mrs. Guan still had an angry look on her face. Liu Wenjing took a cautious look, not daring to treat the woman in front of her like an ordinary woman.

"...That's why Tang Gong said that he is willing to adopt the heirs of the eldest lady and the eldest son to the Cao family."

Mrs. Guan closed her eyes, as if she was considering the matter. Liu Wenjing couldn't help but get excited when she saw that the matter could continue.

"Madam, although you are young and prosperous, Cao Lang has passed away. Only the blood of the eldest lady is left. If you have an heir with others, it will be dishonorable and you will not be able to inherit Cao Lang's family business. You are the only one in this world. Only the eldest lady's son is qualified to command the Cao family..."

Guan Lengyan listened patiently for a while, and felt that the heat was almost ready.

"What Mr. Tang said is also correct. This matter is subject to what Mr. Tang said. It's just that I still said what I just said. Now my dead ghost is gone, leaving only such a small injustice. If she can't be happy Just marrying off, I can't get over this hurdle in my heart, and I can't explain to her father. So what I mean is that this matter should be done in a big way, and it should be done in a good manner."

Liu Wenjing had no choice but to look back for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan also felt that this matter was tricky, which made him feel that it was not kind enough to quietly take over other people's girls.

Taking so much advantage from other people, if she doesn't give her a little favor, Mrs. Guan will not agree.

And there is another point, I have seen other people's dowry, but my own dowry has not been collected yet.Li Yuan slapped his forehead with a headache, and sat back again. "Zhaoren, you should go back first, I have worked hard for you these two days, let me think of an idea first, and I will invite you here after I think about it."

Liu Wenjing looked at the sky outside and it was indeed getting late, so she said goodbye to Li Yuan and went home.

Li Yuan couldn't think of any good solution by himself, so he went to the backyard to discuss with Mrs. Dou.Mrs. Dou is also worried at this time, the dowry list is getting thinner and thinner, thinking in her heart that maybe she still has to go back to her mother's house to find something for her.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help being irritable, and threw the dowry list aside, thinking that I have been married for so many years, and I have to go back to my mother's house every day if I can't make it through.

Besides, I went outside to let people judge me. I was already married and went back to my mother’s house to move things.

When Li Yuan came in, he saw Mrs. Dou frowning, and saw the dowry list thrown beside her.

"This... Mrs. Hardworking is working at home."

Mrs. Dou sighed, "What's the point of working hard or not? I'm also doing it for my son. I've already thought about it. I'm afraid the above things won't be able to support the scene. I'll go back to my mother's house tomorrow to find my father." Let's talk, let's see if I can take one or two things that will stand out from the hands of the old couple."

These words did not avoid other people, and it didn't take long for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the two brothers, to know about it.

There are four Guang brothers in the family, and now Li Jiancheng, who is the boss, embarrasses his parents for the dowry, not to mention Li Yuanba and Li Yuanji.

Li Shimin clenched his fists, "Our family shouldn't have lived like this. Sooner or later we will rebel, how about..."

Li Jiancheng grabbed his younger brother's mouth, "When everything is not ready, you must never say such a thing."

Li Shimin looked at his brother's stern eyebrows, "But we can't get through now?"

Li Jiancheng only said, "Daddy and Auntie always have a way."

But I thought in my heart, if this continues, there is really no way out, not to mention what will happen to my brothers in the future, if this kind of life continues, Tang Guogong's mansion will no longer have a foothold in Chang'an, then I and the eldest lady will have nowhere to go in the future. son of...

The future is not good.
