Chapter Twelve Zhu Jinyan's Plan, Wei's
Before Dong Chenghu could think clearly, Dong San sent a bunch of things in from outside, "Young Master, these were the New Year gifts given to us by the general, but from Dongyang County to Linhai County, it was a snowy day during the period. The car was delayed for a few days on the road, so it was not delivered in time. You see what to do."
Dong Chenghu looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and then realized that the Spring Festival had passed without him knowing it. It seemed that after leaving Cuizhu Mountain, he had not had a good holiday. This year, everyone guarded Linhai County and did not dare to relax. He was wearing a mask that no strangers could approach him. I guess that people outside dared not tell him about the New Year, so he let the Spring Festival slip away.
Dong Chenghu sighed and said quietly, "Pick a few things to put away, and then divide the others. Everyone can share a little bit, just take it as my wish."
"Yes," Dong San said hesitantly, "Young Master, the one who went back to celebrate the New Year has returned. I sent a message to our mansion yesterday. Please go over and sit down, you can see."
"What did that old fox want to say again?" Dong Chenghu waved his hand impatiently, obviously very disgusted with the person in Dong San's mouth.
Dong San knew that Dong Chenghu would definitely say this, so he immediately agreed with a smile and hurried out of Dong Chenghu's study.
After he went out, he immediately beat the person who sent the post. Seeing the other party leaving with a calm expression, Dong San felt inexplicably happy.
"Dong San, are you Sichun?" Dong Wei appeared behind Dong San quietly, almost scaring him.
"I said that scary people will scare people. Can you speak well next time?" Dong San complained angrily, then signaled Dong Wei to look at the distant back, and said sarcastically, "Our Grand Prefect Zhu stretched his hand longer and longer. I heard that after the Chinese New Year in my hometown, I took back several of his wives and daughters from my hometown. People who had no interaction before, this time actually sent a visit to our young master and asked our young master to go through the mansion. Humph, what's the point of being drunk is not to drink."
Dong San's sneering look made Dong Wei stunned for a moment, and then he realized, and his face immediately sank, "Don't that old guy knows that the young master already has a wife, he actually wants to stuff people around the young master. It's shameless. We want to remind the young master that the old fox is cunning and has failed this time, and there will definitely be a trick in the future."
Dong San blocked Dong Wei's way, and slowly approached him in a puzzled look, muttering for a while. Dong Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
The servants sent by the Zhu family failed to invite Dong Chenghu. All of this was expected by Zhu Jinyan. However, Zhu Jinyan's wife Wei did not think so. She immediately said angrily, "This surname Cheng is so arrogant. He is just a rash person. If it weren't for the fact that the general still valued him, I wouldn't want to contact such a person."
Master, our Yan'er is also a golden branch and a jade leaf. The man surnamed Cheng already has a wife, so why do you want Yan'er to marry him?”
Wei really couldn't understand Zhu Jinyan's approach. They were all staying well in their hometown, but this time Zhu Jinyan actually said he wanted to take them over and live together. This was undoubtedly the best news for Wei, especially he could prevent Zhu Jinyan from hanging with those unruly women.
But they had just arrived in Linhai County, and Zhu Jinyan actually said that she would marry her precious daughter Zhu Liyan to that young master Cheng. Wei sent someone to inquire about the background of Mr. Cheng. She was dissatisfied. However, Zhu Jinyan had already said that, and she couldn't directly refute it. She had to look calmly and said nothing. She actually planned to take a good look at the so-called young master Cheng. If she looked decent, she wouldn't let her daughter go into the fire pit.
Now, the protagonist she planned to look at was still unable to show off her airs. How could the arrogant Wei family bear it?
Zhu Jinyan stopped Wei's angry face as usual, and said slowly, "This Cheng Gongzi is now a big celebrity in front of the general. Even the confidants around the general should give in to him. We are now on the same boat as the general. As long as the general's military is successful, this Cheng Gongzi will definitely be successful. If you don't quickly pick up this boat, will you still wait to earn with others in the future?
As for his wife, hehe, hehe, he is just an ordinary peasant woman. How can that kind of wife compare with my chaff Yan'er? I believe that a man knows how to choose. Besides, my Zhu family is not a family without foundation. If we marry our lady, it can be said that she can win both fame and fortune. Such a good thing is something that no one can ask for."
The Zhu family can be said to be a century-old family in Daliang. The clan has a lot of talents and has produced many famous scholars. They are indeed capable, but it is not Zhu Jinyan's branch. In strict sense, Zhu Jinyan's branch is not even the side branch of the Zhu family, and can only be regarded as a distant relative of the clan. His blood relationship with the Zhu clan is already very weak, but he has a good fortune and a sister who looks like a flower and jade. She was married to the third master of the Zhu clan as a precious concubine. This is now a rise in the water.
Now the Zhu clan's direct lineage has clearly shown its neutral position, neither facing the court nor the rebel army. Zhu Jinyan's relationships and marriages are no longer within their limits. Zhu Jinyan used to be an official, but because he could not survive in the court, he turned to Song Youxin.
Seeing that he was somewhat talented and had been in the court for so long, Song Youxin sent him to Linhai County to assist Dong Chenghu in managing political affairs. However, Dong Chenghu still had to nod in some major issues, so the two of them had the same status on the surface, but Zhu Jinyan knew in his heart that the biggest leader in Linhai County was still Dong Chenghu, so he was anxious to plunder such a big tree.
After hearing this, Wei still didn't fully understand it. He said angrily, "Master, you are very thoughtful, but you see, you sent someone to invite him, and the other party even pretended to be an air and refused to come to the door. It can be seen that he didn't take us seriously at all. You are again."
"Okay, stop talking." Zhu Jinyan waved his hand impatiently, "I have my own opinions on this matter. If you ask Yan'er to clean up well, you can take her out for a while in a few days, I will give them a chance to meet."
How could a veteran like Zhu Jinyan, who had been in the officialdom for many years, give up easily? And it was the thing he had made up his mind to do.
