Chapter 105
Wu Song and others suddenly realized and showed great shock and surprise at Du Jia's ability to "predict the unknown". However, when they heard that Du Jia wanted to go to Chaijiazhuang alone, they naturally refused, and they all rushed to walk with him.
Du Jia was amused and crying. He actually went to the Chai family to save Chai Liya. He was probably fighting more wits rather than courage. It would be useless to bring so many people there, not to steal the bride.
However, he repeatedly explained that Wu Song and Shi Qian did not agree. The former was because he had been in Chaijiazhuang for nearly a year when he was in the downturn and owed him a favor. The latter was deeply grateful to Du Jia for his kindness. In addition, he always felt that others looked down on him at all, and only by Du Jia’s side made him feel that he had a sense of existence.
In desperation, Du Jia had to ask Shi Jin to take this group of troops back to Liangshan first, while he and Wu Song Shi Qian went to Chaijiazhuang. Everyone was divided into two groups here, each doing their own thing.
Du Jia and his friends were speechless all the way, staying at night, slowly heading towards Chaijiazhuang, Cangzhou Prefecture, and passing through some dangerous places along the way, but they were just little thieves. From a distance, they saw Wu Song growing up and then escaped immediately. No one dared to make trouble, which made Wu Songkong have all his skills and useless, and his hands were itchy and tight.
After a few days, he arrived at Chaijiazhuang. When the gatekeeper heard that it was Du Jia who came, he rushed in to report. He soon saw Chai Jin bringing people out in person.
After a few greetings, Chai Jin hurriedly gave Du Jia and the others to his study and asked his subordinates to hurry up to prepare for the banquet to greet him. He held Du Jia's hand and sighed: "Brother, it's really time for you to come. Xiao Ke, I've been so worried these days."
Du Jia saw that Chai Jin was pale and his eyes were so big that he knew that he had not had a good rest these days. He hurriedly asked, "Master, is it that Ling Mei's matter has changed again? Is that Yang Sicheng who is coming to bother again?"
Chai Jin smiled bitterly and said, "That's not. Alas, this matter is a long story. I'm also blamed for being too young and being seized by someone."
After hearing what Chai Jin said, Du Jia and the others realized that the Chai family had decided to arrange a marriage for Chai Liya first. If everyone was satisfied, they would use this as an excuse to reject the imperial edict; if it didn't work, they could only obey the order.
At that time, Chai Jin was alone and alone. His father Chai Huangzhou was afraid that others would be irrelevant because he was the leader of the clan. Fortunately, Chai Wancheng, a powerful elder in the clan, strongly supported this decision, which finally made the decision pass in the family. Afterwards, Chai Jin expressed his gratitude to Chai Wancheng again and again.
It was not long ago that Chai Wanchun, the eldest son of Chai Wancheng, led a team to propose marriage not long ago that he realized that this old guy was not malicious at all. His purpose was not to help Chai Jin's brother and sister, but to marry his daughter-in-law for his son. Chai Wanchun himself is also a playboy, and if he is not literary or martial, he is just a useless person, and he is comparable to Yang Sicheng. This guy has been coveting Chai Liya's appearance since he was a child, but Chai Liya is not rude to him at all. In addition, he knows that Chai Jin is not easy to mess with, so he can only give up. Now he has finally seized the opportunity.
Chai Jin was in a dilemma at this moment. He definitely didn't want his sister to marry Chai Wanchun, but Yang Sicheng was even more unfair. Now it was like asking him to choose which one is a bit darker between a crow and a pig. It was really difficult.
At this time, he could not directly refuse Chai Wanchun. This guy is quite powerful in the Chai family. His old man Chai Wancheng had already spoken out, saying that Chai Liya was already his daughter-in-law and told everyone not to argue with them. When he gets married, he will book the largest restaurant in Cangzhou City to let everyone eat, drink and have fun for a month. But if anyone insists on opening his eyes to make trouble, then don’t blame them for being rude at that time.
At first, everyone thought they were joking, until the other two children of the same clan also sent someone to Chaihuangzhou to propose marriage. However, within a few days, the two children suddenly disappeared for no reason, and everyone realized that Chai Wancheng was not a joke at all, but a serious one. The person who had this idea suddenly was so scared that he took the initiative to withdraw.
Then Chai Wanchun took his people to his home in Chai Huangzhou, and went to pay tribute to the Chai Huangzhou couple every morning, noon and evening. Everyone gave gifts, looking like a son-in-law, and the rest of the people were not allowed to approach Chai Liya's embroidery building at all. This made Chai Huangzhou and others suffer. They even planned to accept this fact. In their opinion, it was better to marry the same clan than marry far away from the capital.
Although Chai Wanchun repeatedly asked to see Chai Liya and was turned away, if there was no second person who asked to come again, she would naturally have Chai Wanchun as soon as the time came, so Chai Wanchun was not surprising. She just lived here with peace of mind and bought people's hearts. Over time, these people got his benefits and spoke for him everywhere.
Therefore, Chai Jin was almost worried these days, and he thought that Du Jia would come quickly. In his opinion, only Du Jia had the courage and ability to face Chai Wanchun so that he could save his girl.
Du Jia was furious when he heard this. He did not expect that the Chai family would be so chaotic. It would be fine if everyone could not work together to bully the outsiders, but there were still people making trouble internally. What kind of family is called? It is simply worse than outsiders.
He could also feel Chai Jin's helplessness. Although he was famous outside and didn't even take it seriously in the court, it was his own family's business, especially when it involved a cowardly father and a tough girl, which made him helpless, so he agreed and did his best to help him solve this problem.
At this time, the servants had already brought the wine and food. Chai Jin was very happy when he saw Du Jia. He warmly invited Du Jia and the other three to accompany him to have a few drinks and go to the city to act like the opportunity tomorrow.
Du Jia and the others were not polite. After sitting down, they saw eight dishes and two jars of wine on the table, namely Buddha Jumping the Wall, Guyuan Paste, fried grass heads, braised prawns, whittia seeds, rock sugar pears, braised suckling pigs, steamed hairy crabs. The soup was sea bass tofu soup, and the wine was divided into yellow and white. The yellow wine was the red daughter of eighteen years old, and the white one was the Fenjiu, Shanxi Xinghua Village, which had been aged for twenty years.
Moreover, it is fine to have good flavor and taste. Even the dishes are very particular. They are exquisite porcelain plates carved with various patterns. A pair of white ivory in front of one person is used to taste meat dishes, a pair of jade is used to eat vegetarian dishes, and even wine glasses are divided into two types. The green small cups are used to drink Fenjiu, while the larger red jade cups are used to hold rice wine.
