Chapter 143: One Hundred Thousand Dowry
"Well!"
Li Xin nodded: "Since it is Mr. Liang's intention, Mr. Li will be disrespectful!"
Suddenly, Caiyi and Caishang's delicate bodies trembled slightly, and they looked up boldly at Li Xin. The tenderness in their beautiful eyes seemed to be unshakable. This was not only about falling in love with Li Xin at first sight, but also about missing this village and not that shop. Who knows who will be given to next time if they missed this time? What's more, the tea was sent out and confiscated, which is also a humiliation for them.
The two girls did not expect to be Li Xin's main wife. They accurately positioned themselves as concubines and knew that they would not live long. They just hoped that they would be pampered by Li Xin for a few years, even if they died, they would have no regrets.
Liang Chengdao's face sank and called out, "Caiyi, Caishang, come here."
The two women were nervous and were about to jump out of their throats. They walked forward carefully and bowed: "I have seen the master!"
Liang Chengdao sighed: "From now on, you will be the commander. You must abide by the wife's manners, be respectful and obedient, and be competing for favor and jealousy. You must not embarrass my Liang family, have you ever remembered?"
"Yes, Master!"
Colorful clothes and colorful clothes are both ashamed and happy as you agree.
Li Xin said in surprise: "Old Liang, what is this?"
Liang Chengdao laughed and said, "Mr. Commander, lip tea and tea picking girls have always been one. People are not separated from tea, and tea is not separated from others. I am not a young hero of Commander. I am reluctant to come out to treat guests with lip tea!"
Li Xin suddenly realized his mind and shook his head repeatedly: "This is not possible. I have violated the rules of Mr. Liang's tea, so how can I accept someone? Besides, the two girls are as beautiful as fairies and their words are abrupt. How can they be sent as gifts? I appreciate Mr. Liang's kindness."
Suddenly, Caiyi and Caishang had a pretty face and their bodies were trembling violently, unlike the trembling that had just come from joy and excitement. This time, they were full of shame and anger and were rejected in person in front of everyone. They really felt that they were a gift!
They felt that their hearts were dead, and their beautiful eyes were covered with fog. Even if they were young and beautiful, they were versatile. So what if they were young and beautiful? The thin horse was always a thin horse and was always a man's plaything. Especially when they were rejected by Li Xin, who was very fond of Li Xin, they developed a feeling of self-pity for falling flowers and ruthless flowing water. Could it be that their two sisters could not see him in his eyes?
Liang Chengdao and others looked at each other. They couldn't figure out Li Xin's intentions, and they had no reason to refuse. Doesn't he love beauty? If he doesn't love her, why did she enjoy watching her just now?
Wu Shimin tried to say, "Commander, please forgive me for saying that the lipstick tea picked by the tea picker can only be consumed by one man in his life. After you drink it, it is equivalent to picking their red pills. You drink the tea but don't want anyone. How can these two girls deal with it? You rejected it in person today, I am afraid that you will live without a face to live in the world. Alas~~"
"Woooooooooooooo~~"
Caiyi Caichang could no longer help but cover her face and started crying.
Li Xin stared at the two girls in a daze, and felt a little headache, but he felt unbearable. To be honest, the beautiful clothes and clothes are beautiful, but his body is weak and he was trained as a concubine since he was a child. He had no opinion. He didn't like this kind of women very much, but if he didn't take them away, it was obvious that he would be dead. Can he really let the two beauties die, or be treated as a loser by Liang Chengdao at will?
“Oh ~~”
Li Xin sighed and said with apologies: "The two beauties are abrupt. It seems that they are mine. Is Mr. Liang sincerely released Caiyi and Caiqi?"
Liang Chengdao stroked his beard and smiled and said, "If it were an ordinary person, I would not be willing to let it go. Over the years, I have regarded colorful clothes and colorful clothes as my daughter. But the commander's future is bright and he will be clean. I also hope that they have a good home."
As he said that, he took out a gift list from his arms and said, "Commander, the Revolutionary Army has a rule that does not accept gifts. I have no intention of violating them. However, these silvers are the dowry I have prepared for colorful clothes and colorful clothes. I know that the commander's common affairs are complicated and dare not hold a wedding to delay the commander's affairs. Now I am offering the dowry to you, and I hope the commander will not be disgusted."
The people in the table exchanged glances one after another, and they were vaguely dissatisfied. The main reason was that Liang Chengdao did too well. He gave the girl and even said the gift was a dowry, which made others unable to give it even if they wanted to give it money. Otherwise, it would be a breaking the rule that the Revolutionary Army would not accept gifts, and no one could afford this big hat.
Especially Hui merchants, seeing that the Western merchants were in the limelight in front of Li Xin, they couldn't help but feel anxious, but they couldn't give two more girls to Li Xin. Not to mention whether it was in line with Li Xin's appetite, just following Xishang's butt would make them reject them.
The conflict between Western merchants and Hui merchants is very sharp. Western merchants believe that Hui merchants stole their jobs, while Hui merchants believe that Western merchants have no culture and act savagely and vulgarly, especially business registration is a focus of the two sides' gatherings.
In Yangzhou, where salt merchants gathered, Shanxi and Shaanxi merchants settled in other provinces, so they were specially approved by the imperial court to have business registration. The children can enroll in Yangzhou schools. There are seven places that do not have to return to their hometown to take the imperial examination every year. Huizhou, the hometown of Huizhou, and Huaiyang, belong to Nanzhili, and their children are not allowed to go to school locally.
In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Hui merchants jointly wrote a letter, and officials inspected Lianghuai Salt Administration also wrote a letter, begging all salt merchants to enroll on the spot. Chongzhen approved the permission, but this harmed the interests of Shanxi merchants with original school status, and they all clamored. It happened that the then magistrate of Yangzhou was from Shanxi and supported his fellow villagers, so this policy has been shelved to this day.
What Huang Qiqian wanted to say, Wu Shimin hurriedly turned his eyes to stop him and shook his head slightly.
"Well!"
Li Xin was also a little surprised. He took it and saw that he could not help but secretly praised him. Jiang was still so old. If Liang Chengdao took out 100,000 taels of silver directly, he would definitely not accept it, but with the name of dowry, how could he not accept it?
However, Li Xin would not let him owe Liang Chengdao favors. After thinking for a moment, he bowed and smiled, "Since it's a dowry, then Li will thank Mr. Liang for Caiyi Caishang."
"Chief, please be polite!"
Liang Chengdao laughed and replied with a gift.
"Since it is the dowry prepared by Mr. Liang for you, then just collect it."
Li Xin handed the gift list to Caiyi.
"Master, no!"
Caiyi and Caishang shook their heads in a hurry.
Li Xin pulled Cai Shang's soft little hand, stuffed the gift list, and smiled and said, "There is no reason to hand the dowry to your husband's family. Take it, and don't call me Commander, Mr. Li in the future."
"Si...Mr. Li!"
The two girls were moved and choked and wiped the corners of their eyes.
This scene fell into everyone's eyes. Hui merchants looked at each other again, and all saw a hint of joy from each other's eyes. Xi Shang frowned. It was obvious that Li Xin handed over 100,000 taels of silver to Caiyi Caishang, which clearly did not want to owe Liang Chengdao favors.
The connotation of dowry in ancient times and modern dowry was different. Dowry in modern times was the husband's family, while dowry was the private property of a woman. In other words, in theory, the 100,000 taels of silver had nothing to do with Li Xin, and it belonged to Caiyi and Caishang.
"Today, thanks to your kind hospitality, Li has just entered Yangzhou, and everything is complicated and it is inconvenient to bother too much. I will take the lead and say goodbye!"
Li Xin bowed left and right to the table.
The people who followed each other stood up one after another, and the woman who was drinking was given to them. Xing San and others were naturally happy. Gao Yigong wanted to take all three away, but Li Xin pointed out his identity and yelled at him again. He lost Li Zicheng's face and had to give up. However, Zhang Nai and Shuangxi each had their own thoughts and kept the two beauties. This made him secretly call the fool, thinking to take them out and say it. I will help you, but I can't say this. The two of them are honest and honest. He didn't even wink, and he felt depressed.
"Take care!"
Caiyi and Caishang knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to Liang Chengdao, and then followed Li Xin's slow walking sounds.
Soon, the group disappeared from sight, and Wang Huan then stretched out his thumb and praised: "Hao! It's really high!"
Huang Qiqian inadvertently glanced at the Western Shang Dynasty and asked with a smile: "Why did Brother Wang say this?"
Wang Huan laughed: "I am just thinking, who is the one hundred thousand taels of silver? The commander is young but has such a means. I have to say the word "convinced"!"
"snort!"
Liang Chengdao's expression darkened and said, "The commander is clean and loving, and has great ambitions. Why not say anything? I tell you that this is a judge of a gentleman's ambition by his villain's heart. If you come, you will send the silver to Caiyi and Caiqi early tomorrow morning!"
"yes!"
A man who looks like a manager bowed and bowed.
"Go away!"
Liang Chengdao waved his hand, took a big step, and walked outward.
