Chapter 201: Recruitment

Lao Hetou clutched the butcher knife that had been with him for most of his life,

just stood there quietly,

facing the man who was walking towards here Ji Chengjue and the eldest prince arrived,

facing the carriage,

facing the convoy behind the carriage,

he looked like a swordsman .

Ji Chengjue has never met the Jin sword master. Although it is said that the Jin sword master works under his brother named Zheng, they are too far apart from each other. Even if you want to introduce it, it is difficult to achieve.

But at this moment,

Ji Chengjue suddenly felt,

The look on Lao Hetou’s face standing there at this moment,

Maybe it's the same as the old swordsman when he faced the wild cavalry in front of the snow customs.

Yes,

I am the wildling cavalry who is about to be slaughtered.

Ji Chengjue actually knew some things in his heart. He Tou, his father-in-law, was very down-to-earth.

If he were not a prince, but just a head catcher, or even just a son-in-law who came to help kill pigs and sell meat for Lao Hetou's family, his life would not be so bad.

As you live your whole life, you really need to leave some soft places in your heart.

He is not his father, and he cannot reach the level of his father. At least, for now, there is no need.

As the person named Zheng said: When people are alive, they have to be a little pretentious from time to time.

Ji Chengjue felt that this sentence was correct.

So,

the sixth prince of the current dynasty,

who was once refrigerated and suppressed and is now almost actually in charge of the Ministry of Finance, can make the eldest prince stand. Ji Chengjue, who was shouting behind him,

knelt down towards the old man who was killing the pig.

"My son-in-law sends his regards to Lao Taishan, may Lao Taishan be well."

Because of his love, he gave his daughter to him, and he didn't make things difficult, and he didn't mention any rules about betrothal gifts or anything like that. You can let your daughter follow you, you have to remember;

Yu Li, he took his daughter away for half a year, and the marriage has been delayed and has not been settled, and now his daughter has become pregnant. , indeed a loss.

So, this kneeling is appropriate.

To tell the truth,

In the past ten years, Ji Laoliu,

even the emperor has never been able to kneel as comfortably as he did this time. , sincerely.

Lao Hetou took a deep breath,

looked at Ji Chengjue,

then looked at the eldest prince standing behind Ji Chengjue.

The eldest prince came as the representative of the man’s parents, so he didn’t need to salute. He just bowed his head to Lao He.

Lao Hetou did not respond.

Instead, he threw the butcher knife in his hand directly on the chopping board,

"Bang!"

The butcher knife is embedded in the chopping board.There was a muffled sound.

Ji Chengjue took a deep breath and looked secretly at his uncle.

Thinking again of the pregnant wife in the carriage behind.

At this time, telling yourself who your father-in-law is is indeed a feeling of overpowering others. Ji Laoliu is really accomplished in this aspect of life, so he plans to bow his head and bear the consequences. Father-in-law's anger and complaints.

"Okay, okay, you Yan Xiaoliu, you are bullying me, Lao He, the family has no roots, don't you see it in your eyes!

You What do you mean, what do you mean?

My good daughter, I gave it to you, and this is how you treat her, and this is how you treat her family.

She should leave? The etiquette is not gone, the regulations that should be left are not left, and the person is kidnapped by you. How much do you look down on my daughter, how much do you look down on my old He family?"

"Taishan said something serious, It’s true that everything happened for a reason and it was delayed.”

The Ji family has many rules. When there is a war, the Ji family prohibits weddings and funerals. This is passed down from the ancestors.

Even if Ji Wujiang got married, it was not actually a consummation. It was more like a continuation and response to the war.

"Give me your daughter back. I don't have much ability in my life, but I can still afford to raise a daughter. I won't let her suffer in her husband's family who doesn't know etiquette!"

Lao Hetou immediately yelled:

"Evil son!"

He Chu trotted over with sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, his father didn’t call him a bastard today.

"Get your sister off the sedan, and let's go home! This marriage is over, and your father doesn't care about this son-in-law!"

"This..."

He Chuyi was at a loss.

If an ordinary brother-in-law dared to treat his sister like this, without knowing etiquette, and even made her pregnant, he, an uncle who grew up butchering pigs, would have already picked up his dipped knife. The butcher's knife of countless dead pigs' resentful souls went to risk their lives.

But this person in front of me,

This person in front of me,

He Chu really didn’t dare.

Dad,

My sister is already pregnant.

You said you won’t get married if you don’t want to?

My sister is pregnant with the emperor’s heir, the emperor’s heir!

He Chu also inquired about the child in his sister's belly. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be the first grandson of the current emperor.

When Old He saw his son standing still,

he immediately cursed angrily:

"What? I'm afraid that your sister will come back and fight with you." My brother is fighting for the family property!"

"No, dad."

He Chu was so aroused that he could only walk to the sedan chair and said:

"Sister, dad asked us to go home first."

The curtain was opened,

Mrs. He's wife walked out of the sedan chair.

She saw her father and her husband kneeling in front of her father. She opened her mouth to say something, but she still said nothing and followed her brother into the house.

He Chu walked carefully beside his sister, for fear that his sister would slip or slip.

I entered the house and closed the door.

The young lady of the He family immediately reached out and pinched her brother,

angrily said:

"Brother, what did you do!"

Okay?

We must have what others have;

If you want what others don’t have, we can also have it.

Sister-in-law, yes. You respect me."

"Oh, you can say it nicely, but who knows what you are thinking about? I, the daughter of the He family, don't hate marrying to this extent. !"

In fact, when the two men were arguing,

they did not mention the pregnancy.

Before the uncooked rice is cooked, this is often the greatest weapon a son-in-law can use to manipulate his mother-in-law;

Anyway, your daughter is already pregnant with my seed, and I am already in trouble. The place of defeat!

But this matter cannot be said outside, otherwise it will be really "embarrassing".

Lao Hetou would not stupidly say it to himself.

Ji Laoliu is such a good person, so naturally it is impossible for him to say this.

At this time,

the elder prince finally remembered what he was here to do,

stepped forward,

He opened his mouth and said: "Mr. He, my father is in Beijing and is busy with worldly affairs, so it is inconvenient to come here, so I am the one who will come forward to hire my younger brother.

Before The lack of etiquette is indeed my family's fault, and my brother's behavior is indeed a bit arrogant. Please don't blame Mr. He.

Since the two young people are already together, we are the elders. Yes, it should be fulfilled."

"Hmph."

Lao Hetou ignored the eldest prince, turned around, and drew out his pig-butchering knife.

Goed straight back to the house.

Ji Chengjue also stood up slowly and patted the dust on his knees.

“You, my father-in-law, are difficult to deal with.” The eldest prince sighed with emotion.

"There is nothing we can do. Who said we deserve to suffer it? Hey, please be quick with your hands and feet. Lift everything in quickly."

The eldest prince nodded and waved to signal to those behind him. The people carried all the betrothal gifts in, and he also took the gift list, which he had to hand to Lao Hetou himself later.

The eldest prince is a man who has led troops, fought in battles and seen storms. Looking at this gift list, he couldn’t help but feel...Some brows trembled slightly.

How many pig hind legs, how many pig front legs, how many pig heads...

These pigs,

are all expensive,

p>

Because it is said that this is the gift list set by the father.

It is hard to imagine that

Father would seriously make such a gift list for how many pig hind legs.

Moreover, these pig legs were personally purchased by the current Crown Prince.

Even an ordinary pig, after such an experience, its worth has increased a hundred times, right?

The servants opened the door of He's house and carried the gifts in one box after another.

In the yard,

Lao Hetou was sitting on an old Taishi chair,

The butcher's knife was always with him,

Seeing someone carrying something inside,

He just sat there with a straight face and said nothing.

It was surrounded by many neighbors who came to watch the fun.

Before, because the daughter of the old He family was taken away, but there was no news, there was a lot of gossip in the neighborhood.

Whoever comes to buy pork, no matter whether it is a pound or a tael, will come and ask Lao Hetou, why is there no news about your daughter and son-in-law?

In the end,

He had to send the letter to a nearby private school teacher. After listening to it, he ran to the neighbors and said,

He said that his daughter and son-in-law are living a good life in the capital.

They live in a big house.

They can eat meat every meal.

And Servant and so on,

He also said that his uncle wanted to take him to the capital for retirement, but he was not willing to go, saying what was so good about the capital, Nan'an County was his home, and besides, I can't bear to leave these neighbors.

Actually, the only "good" ones in the letter were He Chu's, and most of them were created by Lao He's own imagination.

But when the neighbors saw this betrothal gift today, their eyes were really opened. He was worthy of being an uncle from the capital, and his family was indeed luxurious!

But there are also some people who are suspicious,

said:

“Why do you send so much pork to the butcher’s house?

Or is the father-in-law of the old He family a businessman who kills pigs and sells meat? ”

"Old He, this is the betrothal gift. If you find anything missing, you can raise it."

Old He has actually seen many pigs a long time ago.

However,

when he saw the gift list again,

Well,

he was illiterate, but he had something to do with pigs I can recognize the characters and the words "a few kilograms, a few liang, a few heads" at the end.

Have a look,

My eyes immediately stared,

What does this mean?

It is completely doubling my dowry!

No matter how many pig legs I gave away, my father-in-law actually gave me back double the amount!

The young couple don’t need anything else to live together, they just need to eat pork every day, sleep on a quilt made of pork and wear clothes made of pig skin?

This is a declaration of war,

This is a counterattack against oneself,

Moreover,

It is against oneself on the battlefield where one is best at He insulted himself!

"You can always bring up the rest of the missing items, and I will buy them right away. In any case, the young couple can get it done as soon as possible, which will save us two families from worrying, and the young couple can also May you live a happy life and have a precious son soon.”

Some things are difficult to say outside, but they can be said inside.

Lao Hetou ignored the eldest prince,

but pointed at Ji Chengjue,

shouted:

"You kid , come here!"

"Yes."

Ji Laoliu stepped forward respectfully.

"Old man, I only have this daughter who I have held in my hands since I was a child. If you want to marry me, you can, but you have to swear to ensure that she will not be wronged in the future!"

"My son-in-law swears that Sisi will not suffer any injustice."

"It's not enough, I have to swear another oath, swear..."

He hesitated After a moment,

then said:

"That's all, don't swear, but you have to listen to me. If you treat my daughter badly in the future, I will treat you like an old man." Even if you die and become a ghost, I will never let you go."

"Yes, my son-in-law, remember that."

Lao He pointed at the betrothal gift over there. Continue shouting:

"You must remember today, remember today, it was you who knelt down and begged the old man that I would marry my daughter to you. It was you who begged to marry me from the old man. My daughter!"

Hearing this, Ji Laoliu knelt down and said:

"My son-in-law, remember this."

Old man. He Tou took a deep breath,

As he talked,

tears began to drip down,

at this moment,

Only then did he truly feel the state of mind of a father sending his daughter off to get married.

The child’s mother passed away early, and she was both a father and a mother to raise her precious daughter. When she was a child, her brother could eat poorly and play poorly, but the daughter would give her whatever she wanted. What, absolutely no ambiguity.

Other families assume that their daughters will be used to support other people’s families, waiting to exchange marriages or exchange gifts for the men of the family to marry, but not the Lao He family. The daughter of the Lao He family was raised by her father and brother. Let’s pamper them together!

"Old man, she is my only daughter in this life. You have to, you have to, you have to take good care of me, you really have to take good care of me.

Having a baby Children are suffering, womenHaving a baby is like going through hell.

Old man, I know that my daughter has your seed in her belly. This old man does not expect to have a family full of children and grandchildren. He only hopes that his daughter can be healthy and live a good life.

Her mother was the root cause of her illness when she was born. ”

These words, as an elder, are actually very inappropriate, because elders will only bless their descendants and women to carry on the family line. In this era, this is their mission and task.

But Lao Hetou really cares about his daughter. Giving birth to a baby once will destroy 10% of his own vitality.

Don’t have too many children, really don’t have too many children.

Seeing this scene,

The eldest prince on the side also felt something in his heart.

To be honest,

the Ji family brothers really didn’t feel much like their father. Love and care.

Actually, two of the women the eldest prince brought back from the snowy field this time are pregnant, but the children they gave birth to will not be included in the royal family's golden list.

Firstly, it’s because the blood is impure. After all, those women brought to bed, God knows whether they are pregnant with Ji family’s children;

Secondly, it’s because the mother’s status is too humble. They can be commoners of the Yan State, or they can be Ganren Chu people, but savages, sorry, in the eyes of the Yan State officials, savages are not considered human beings at all.

The children born in the future will most likely not be named Ji. , was adopted by someone in the palace.

So,

Strictly speaking,

the one in the belly of his sixth brother’s wife is the one that the father sees. The baby is also the first baby of the new generation of the Ji family.

If it is a boy, it will be the emperor’s eldest grandson! Whether it can be added in the future,

Who knows!

“Get up, get up, there are many neighbors outside, and some relatives and friends are on their way here. I went to the restaurant last night and booked a few tables. You can join me later to entertain relatives, friends and neighbors. "

"Yes, my son-in-law understands. "

"Well, you go and entertain me, old man...I'll go inside and change some clothes first. "

"Okay. "

Ji Laoliu stood up, took out a lot of candies from there, and began to distribute them to the neighbors outside the door.

"Congratulations. "

"Congratulations. ”

“Same joy and joy. "

......

Lao He Tou just entered the house and quickly closed the door.

He Chu who was in the house immediately came over and expressed concern;

"Dad? Are you okay? "

"Plop! ”

Lao He leaned his back against the door panel and collapsed on the ground.

He kept touching his chest with his hands,

Hou said fearfully. :

"Prince...but prince...phew...but it scares me to death...scares me to death..."
