Chapter 91: No Son-in-law Before Family Interests
The days of weak legs passed quickly and the agreed day has arrived.
Wei Xiang came to Shishi Mansion in a carriage.
Although he has been promoted to one of the six ministers, the mansion of the Scholar Association still cannot see any major changes as before. He is calm and low-key, and is not conspicuous among the many high-gate mansions around him.
"I have met my uncle." In the study, Wei Xiang respectfully saluted his father-in-law.
The Shuihui put down his pen, picked up a bowl of soup next to him and took a sip, and said slowly: "I heard that Ji'er has been married to you for so many months and has not moved yet. Do you want to ask a doctor to prescribe a prescription for you?"
A drop of cold sweat slid down Wei Xiang's forehead.
Wei Xianggan laughed and said, "This... the son-in-law has worked very hard. Uncle, let's talk about the serious business first."
Shi Hui slapped the table with a slam and said angrily: "The inheritance of the family is not a serious matter, so what can be considered a serious matter? Wei Xiang, Wei Xiang, to be honest, have you found an outdoor room outside?"
The sweat beads on Wei Xiang's forehead became more and more dense, and he couldn't help but say, "My uncle is joking. My son-in-law is so busy these days. Where can I find any outdoor room?"
The Shui's beard was blown up and he shouted: "I heard what you said, you obviously want to find an outdoor room!"
Wei Xiang was shocked by the logic of his father-in-law. He didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he had to stand in place with sweat on his head and endure the baptism of Shihui's saliva.
After scolding for a quarter of an hour, Shihui's face finally improved a little, and he threw two wooden boards in front of Wei Xiang: "Sign up with seals!"
Wei Xiang subconsciously picked up one of the wooden boards with dense seal scripts written on Jin State. When he saw the first two words, he was stunned: "Charity Book?"
The scholar pushed the pen and ink on the table towards Wei Xiang, and said impatiently: "Sign!"
Instead of surrendering immediately under the tremendous pressure of the Scholars, Wei Xiang took two steps back and scanned the contents of the contract book at a glance.
What is written above is actually the clause about Shishi sending troops to help Handan. It clearly states the number of soldiers and chariots that Shishi has assisted Handan, as well as...
Wei Xiang raised his head in surprise and said to Shihui: "Uncle, Shi's 50% share of the Handan smelter in the future is a bit too much, right?"
The Shuihui said coldly: "Where is it too much?"
Wei Xiang said: "The protection value provided by Shishi is completely inconsistent with these 50% of the value! The son-in-law thinks that 20% is a relatively reliable number."
The scholar-in-law stared at him and said angrily: "My face is worth 50%. Go and ask the doctor of Handan to see if he is willing to give these 50% of the shares?"
Wei Xiang sighed and whispered: "Uncle, this smelter cannot be born without the technology of a son-in-law, and it has nothing to do with the doctor of Handan. Otherwise... 35%?"
The anger on the face of Shihui suddenly disappeared, and instead he was indifferent: "50% or you can walk out of the door outside by yourself today, and then I will send someone to take Ji'er back!"
Prime Minister Wei opened his mouth wide and said for a long time: "Uncle, why is this?"
Shihui sneered: "Do you sign or not?"
Wei Xiang shook his head helplessly, signed the two deeds and pressed his handprints.
The scholar took the letter of the deed and waved impatiently: "Let's go, when you go, I will naturally send someone to your Wei family for your help!"
Wei Xiang took the covenant book and walked out of the study room in a daze. He didn't come back to his senses until the carriage had already driven out of the Shi Mansion and slapped his thighs: "This old fox is actually playing tricks on his face and is fooled by his evil deeds!"
Wei Xiang had just left, and the taxi in the study looked at the letter of the contract in his hand, and his smile showed off bit by bit.
Shi Xie, who was standing beside him, coughed and said softly: "Father, Wei Xiang is our son-in-law after all, so isn't it good to do this?"
The Shihui looked stern and said, "What's wrong? I am his uncle, so it's natural for him to give me more benefits."
Shi Xie coughed heavily and said, "If the smelter mentioned by Wei Xiang can really produce the kind of 'steel sword' he dedicated to his father in mass production, the benefits his father got from Wei Xiang... wouldn't it be too much?"
The Scholar's smile slowly calmed down. He looked at the eldest son in front of him very seriously and said seriously: "Son, you have to remember. When it comes to family interests, even if you are a son-in-law, you must not give in at all!"
Shi Xie bowed his head and took the order.
The Shihui's face calmed down a little, and he said, "Where is the gentleman of the Que family? Please invite him in."
Two hours later, the Que family mansion.
Shangqing of Jin State sat in the study. Listening to the report of his eldest son Queke, he was playing with a steel sword in his hand, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Interesting... It seems that Shiber really cares about his son-in-law. Keer, what do you think about this?"
Queke said in a deep voice: "Brother, I think if I can really obtain such weapons, it is really worth trying."
But he laughed and touched the long beard under his jaw and said, "This Shibo wants to send me a few hundred weapons every year? For the sake of this magic weapon, let me go to the Shifu."
When Wei Xiang walked off the carriage, he was humming some small songs that had never been hummed in this era.
"We ordinary people are so happy today..."
"Brother!" Wei Jia, who suddenly appeared, was startled Wei Xiang.
He glared at Wei Jia with some dissatisfaction, and Wei Xiang said, "I'm fussing every day, how can I get married in the future!"
Wei Jia made a face at Wei Xiang: "If I can't get married, I will go outside to find someone to marry!"
Wei Xiang was furious: "What nonsense is it! If you hear that you dare to do this, your legs will be broken! Wait, what is this?"
Wei Xiang quickly grabbed his sister's right hand and pulled her sleeve upwards. A green bracelet that Wei Xiang had never seen before appeared in sight.
"Who gave it?" Wei Xiang looked at Wei Jia fiercely with murderous intent.
A hint of panic flashed across Wei Jia's pretty face and said, "I bought it at the market!"
"Smashed!"
"No!"
After a fight, Wei Xiang successfully grabbed the bracelet. Wei Jia's crying attracted his father, so Wei Xiang fled in a panic under the pursuit of his father holding a wooden stick.
That night, Wei Xiang took Fan Man's hand and told him: "You must take good care of your sister and don't be taken advantage of by those little bastards!"
Fan Man blinked his big, beautiful eyes and asked Wei Xiang back: "But if Jiamei doesn't contact a man, how can she find her favorite partner?"
"Anyway, what I don't agree with is that it's not OK! I'm only so anxious, I'll wait until I'm twenty!" Wei Xiang raised his tone: "I dare to attack my sister. It's really a toad that wants to eat swan meat! Forget it, I'll go find a few younger brothers to tell them..."
Looking at Wei Xiang who was immersed in the night, Fan Man opened his mouth, feeling a little amused and crying.
