Chapter 43: Marriage
Since Sun Meiyao is in Zhao Guanhou's house, even if Su Hanzhi wants to do something, she will not be able to do it. Su Weizi has the yellow croaker and the hope of 2,000 taels of silver, so she does not object to Su Hanzhi's contact with Zhao Guanhou.
He was also in a little embarrassed now. Whether it was the Pang family or Zhao Guanhou, it was really hard to choose between two people. Of course, for him, it was naturally the best money, but who could give him the most money, even the blind man Su, who always claimed to be wise, could not be sure.
Su Hanzhi followed Zhao Guanhou to the alley and followed him. No matter where it was, she would not feel scared. The alley in the dark was not that scary.
"Guanhou, two thousand taels of silver, you gave too much.... We are not using so much for this small family."
"Is two thousand taels a lot? Don't you think that if you can marry your sister home as your wife only for two thousand taels, I've picked up a big advantage. Besides, how can we call a small family? After we have 6 thousand taels of silver, we buy a house and then build a store to live a decent life. Sister, you can still get money from the newspaper. Good days are coming, don't worry."
The two of them held their hands tightly together, and Su Hanzhi felt that they gradually had strength. In the distance, it seemed that a lamp was lit up by someone. The light gradually dispelled the darkness and illuminated a road of light for her. Before the gate of the courtyard, Zhao Guanhou said: "Sister, tell me the truth. You come to me tonight, probably... it's not that simple. Are you thinking about being at my mercy these days, and waiting for me to go to death after getting into the sedan chair? The matter of asking Senior Sister Fengzhi that day is probably related to this."
"Since you guessed it, why are you asking?" Su Hanzhi lowered her head embarrassedly. Such things are said to be straightforward. "I... I won't marry Pang Jinbiao. But I won't... I won't let you fight for my life. The Pang family is powerful and we can't afford to mess with you, but I won't let you suffer a loss. Fengzhi is also very good and can live with you. But today my father tied a red rope for me, and I thought, if the Pang family really sent someone to come and see you, I can't find you. Tonight, I originally wanted to... I wanted to be a couple with you, and when it dawns, I'll jump into the sea..."
Zhao Guanhou pushed open the yard door unhappily and pushed Su Hanzhi in. "I always thought that my sister was quite calm. Why did she encounter something more frivolous than me. Fortunately, she had this kind of thing, otherwise it would be a scam. Listen to me, no matter what happens in the future, you must believe that I have a way, and don't always think about seeking death."
In the room, Sun Meiyao's voice came out, "You two, don't whisper, when you have money, there are some things you are tired of, now you should think about it first, how can you leave the city!"
She was still a little resentful about Zhao Guanhou untiing her clothes, especially when he saw that he was close to Su Hanzhi, she felt even more uncomfortable and couldn't help but speak a few sarcastic words. Zhao Guanhou walked in with a smile and moved the kerosene lamp left by Li Xiushan closer.
"Don't worry, Sun Dangjia, I'm not your friends, I will definitely do things after collecting money. If I can't send you out of Tianjin, I will be shameless on the street. But now, it's a little trouble. You have to wipe your wound with salt water first. You said why are you wearing clothes so early? You have to take it off again."
Although he made a few jokes, he could not do it himself after scrubbing the wounds afterwards, so only Su Hanzhi did it for him. The red wound medicine left by Li Xiushan was specially treated for gunshot wounds in the military camp, which was more symptomatic than the wild medicine used by the doctor Sun Meiyao found. In the second half of the night, she sweated a lot again. At dawn, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, and her forehead was already cool.
After struggling all night, Zhao Guanhou was quite tired, but when he thought of yellow croaker and money, he became energetic again. He arranged a few simple sentences at home and went straight to the Meng family to deliver the letter.
This time, the one who received him was no longer the housekeeper of the Meng family, but Meng Siyuan himself. What happened in Yuanfeng, he had already received the news. As soon as he saw Zhao Guanhou, he solemnly bowed, "Sir Zhao, for the affairs of my Meng family, you have actually caused you to lose a finger. I, Meng, cannot repay this favor. If there is any need in the future, even if you speak, Siyuan will definitely do his best and dare not give me any refusal."
Although Meng Siyuan studied, he was still a Jin Dynasty. After the founding of the Jin Dynasty, he advocated Confucianism the same as the previous dynasty. These views that his parents should not damage were deeply rooted in his heart. Of course, he did not accept braids, but he also found it difficult to understand such things as cutting fingers. When he thought that it was for his own business, he had lost half of his fingers and lost half of his fingers.
If he is to ordinary people, he can take out some money as a condolence. However, after talking to Zhao Guanhou, he felt that the person in front of him was a genius and could not be treated by the wild world. Taking out money was an insult to this hero. He was not a friend enough, but for a moment he felt a little unaware of how to deal with himself.
Zhao Guanhou in turn comforted Meng Siyuan, "Mr. Meng, you don't have to be so polite. You are a person who does big things. If you want to develop a country through industry and save the country by machines, this is a good thing. I am just a gangster who makes a living. Eight out of ten of them are disabled, just a matter of time. It's no big deal for me to lose my fingers, so I don't have to take my heart. I came today to invite you to meet someone, the newly established army sentry officer Li Xiushan. He is my friend. He has deep sympathy when he heard about Mr. Meng's experience and is willing to do his best to help you. I think it's more certain to have him help you to regain your heirloom treasure. I just don't know what Meng Dong's thoughts are, and if there is time today?"
"Yes, of course there is time. The place will be selected by Zhuangshi Zhao. Just send someone to notify me. Meng will definitely attend on time." Meng Siyuan sent Zhao Guanhou to the gate and ordered his servants to get a bag. "A friend outside the pass will send a few wild ginseng. These two ginsengs are just Meng's intentions, so he will replenish the health of the hero."
Zhao Guanhou did not refuse, and took the rickshaw car and headed straight to the Li family of the water ladder. As for the two ginseng, he also thought about the place and turned around to give it to Jianzi Su, which was considered as marrying Sister Han Zhi and giving him the filial piety to his father-in-law.
Li Xiushan took a leave in the military camp and stayed at home. After meeting Zhao Guanhou, he was very intimate and took him to pay homage to his father Li Rongqing. Unlike the Meng family, although the Li family is also a wealthy family, they always retain the habit of the martial arts world. The servants at home also seem wild and fierce. There are always people with tattoos and vicious faces walking around the front yard.
Li Rongqing was generous. When he met Zhao Guanhou, he even praised him as a young hero and his future prospects were limitless. Even the Japanese father scolded him and scolded the eight generations of ancestors of the Pang family.
"I have been in Tianjin for a lifetime and have never seen such a domineering master. The lower end of Jiuhe is a ruler. When I go out and do things, I can't mess up the rules of the world, blacken others' things, turn my face and refuse to admit it. The face of the Tianjin doll is thrown away by him. Li cannot sit idly by. I have prepared all the people on the water ladder. When will I say beat you, let's take people with me immediately and meet him with the Pang family. He Pang Jinbiao, don't think that he has killed the Japanese in Goryeo. In my eyes, Li, I am not as good as him. Even if his uncle who is his husband comes, I don't care."
In front of his father, Li Xiushan acted like a well-behaved and sensible child, and he didn't say much. At this time, he just advised his father, "I'm old and angry, I'm still more serious. You'll be more steady. If you have a son to do anything outside, you'll guarantee that your own brothers won't lose anyone. Guanhou, you must come more in the future, otherwise my father will be angry and can't prepare to call the car, so he will go to the Xiaoshaofang to curse people."
The gift given by the Meng family was ginseng, while the gift given by the Li family had its own characteristics: four liang of Indian soil.
"I heard that Blind Su is good at smoking this. I am a soldier and don't eat cigarettes. My father also has this hobby. In addition, he does this business at home, so don't be polite to me. I guess Blind Su is happy to smoke this public servant's tuition than to reunite with his father. At the dinner party in the evening, you are the protagonist, and I just waving the flag and shouting, and I won't steal your limelight."
Zhao Guanhou knew that no matter what Li Xiushan said, he would definitely find a way to show off and establish a relationship with Meng Siyuan at the dinner tonight. But this cannot be considered a mistake. After all, Li Xiushan is now full of people and guns. The Li family alone can mobilize hundreds of gangsters. He can only connect with him, but it is not easy to offend him.
When the rickshaw arrived outside the alley, he saw that there was a mess in the alley. At the door of Su's house, there were some torn colorful silk and tread gauze lanterns, as if they had just experienced a storm. When they returned to their home, Jiang Fengzhi held Su Hanzhi's shoulder and persuaded something, while Su Hanzhi cried endlessly. Sun Meiyao leaned against the gable and watched coldly, without saying a word.
After asking, I found out that shortly after he left, Pang Jinbiao sent someone to formally give a betrothal gift. It is said that marrying a concubine would not be so much. On the day of the wedding, I would just send a sedan chair to pick up the person. But Pang Jinbiao seemed to care a lot about the new man, and actually came according to the rules of marrying a wife.
Hou Xing and the guru were wandering outside. He shouted and started fighting with Pang Jinbiao's people. There were many guru, and the Pang family members were not ashamed to fight. After suffering a great loss, they were beaten and fled back. The silks they brought were torn apart. However, after such a fuss, Su Hanzhi felt that his face was dull and could not even raise his head in the alley. The neighbors also said a lot of nasty gossip behind her back, which made her feel ashamed and hid in Zhao Guanhou.
Su Xiaozi had no concerns about his attitude, especially when he heard that there were four or two public ranks, he smiled even more. "This rank is a good thing, I have to take it to the tobacco shop and let Hanyan lit the soak for me. The soak she lit is the most authentic."
Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly, "Pang Jinbiao is quite anxious. He just had a look on the matter here, and he wanted to ask for a wife? I'm waiting for him here to see how capable he can be, and marry someone away in front of me."
