Chapter 24 Wang Xi proposed
Go back to the room and slowly count how much money you still have. After careful calculation, there is only a few left. Even some of the jewelry previously hidden from Zixi was sold to barely maintain those expenses.
However, my brother and sister-in-law have come back, and their purpose is so clear that they are afraid that their time is really running out.
If the whole family is forced to marry that day, then you can only escape from home.
Xiang Zixi's worries finally became a reality the next day.
When Xiang Zixi finished dressing up and went to welcome her parents, she actually saw the most surprising person at home, Wang Xi!
When Wang Xi saw Xiang Zixi, the wine glass in his hand suddenly overturned and stammered, "Oh, you, you, you..."
"What are you doing here?" Xiang Zixi frowned and was very unhappy.
"I'm here to propose marriage!" Wang Xi quickly pointed to a lot of things in the corner: "Oh, my God, I really didn't expect it to be you!"
"Hmm! At this juke, do you still have good intentions? Isn't the prime minister coming to Wuxian? Aren't you going to meet me?" He said lightly to Zixi.
"Toward, don't be rude! How can you say that, adult?" Xiang Zixi's father was terrmented. He never thought that his daughter could speak wildly!
But now Wang Xi doesn't care about these at all. Marrying Xiang Zixi has almost become Wang Xi's wish!
"I don't know anything about Uncle Xiang. The prime minister can't come to Wu County for the time being because of personal matters, and it will take more than ten days to come!" As the son of the county magistrate, Wang Xi will naturally know some secrets.
He nodded blankly to Zixi: "So it is. You can go! Don't even think about this marriage!" Xiang Zixi slowly turned around and looked coldly at her sister-in-law Xiang Li, who was sitting aside and pretending. Needless to ask, it must be her idea!
In fact, the old lady of the Xiang family is also dissatisfied with this marriage. Last time, he offended Wang Xi, but this time he took the child in his belly and threatened the second old man, saying that if he didn't marry Xiang Zixi as soon as possible before the New Year, he would not want the child in his belly!
And Xiang's wife, who hugged Sun's heart, could only be aggrieved for the time being.
There is nothing we can do. China is a country with a patriarchal society. No matter how good the folk customs of Yaoguo is, no matter how high the status of women's power is than that of China's previous dynasties, the idea of succession is still deeply rooted.
When Master Xiang heard the news that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, he immediately made a comeback and said that he would marry Xiang Zixi this year!
After learning everything to Zixi, he sighed and came so fast! I can't even wait to get my own base!
"Dad, mother, I don't want to marry!" Xiang Zixi clearly expressed his attitude: "If you have to force me, then I can only choose to leave home!"
Xiang Li's face is satisfied. The result of marrying or leaving Xiang Zixi is the same, so all the property of Xiang's family will belong to him!
However, these words can't be said, and he said to Li's hypocritically, "Sister, you can't say that! In the past, you were also in a hurry to get married! Mr. Wang is a talented person of your age. Although he has a wife and concubine in his family, he is willing to regard you as his wife!"
"Yes, yes! As long as my sister nod, I will go back to write the divorce book immediately!" Wang Xi's eyes were bright. The more he looked at Zixi, the more beautiful he became. The more anxious he looked at it, the more satisfied he became!
Xiang Zixi held her chin with a headache: "Dad and sister-in-law, I won't eat this morning. You can do whatever you want! I'm not feeling well, so I went back to my room!"
I haven't waited to say anything to the master and his wife. Xiang Zixi turned around and pointed to Wang Xi, "You boy, don't forget the pain after the scar!"
Although Xiang Zixi is so cold and rude to Wang Xi, the strange thing is that Wang Xi is not angry at all! Maybe, this is one thing and one thing!
Xiang Zixi sighed helplessly and returned to his yard with his maid.
Little fat fat sighed and said, "Miss, how can I not eat? I'll get you some snacks 1"
Xiang Zixi nodded gently. It seems that this family really can't stay any longer!
Xiao Feifei comforted Xiang Zixi: "Miss, I will urge the craftsmen over there to complete it by the end of the year! We will move out and see how they force you!"
"It's not this. What I'm angry about is that my parents forced me to marry in order to give incense to my family! Although I know that this is a certain inevitable result, I am still a little angry and a little mindful. Xiang Zixi said helplessly, "Now it's up to me to turn the tide!"
"Since you are so annoyed, why don't you come to me?" A lazy voice sounded from the room, not someone else, but Ji Yan.
"Aren't you a gentleman in Shen Zhai? Why did you come back?" Xiang Zixi said feebly, "What can I do with you? What can you do?"
"I can pretend to be your love, or just marry you!" Ji Yan came over with a smile: "In this way, won't Wang Xi give up, and your parents will be relieved?"
"Go! I don't care about you!" Xiang Zixi hugged her head helplessly and said with a bitter face: "I told you long ago that I would never get married so early!" Even if you meet someone I like, it won't be so early!"
"Why?" Ji Yan was stunned.
"Because I'm only 17 years old, underage! Do you have to become an adult at the age of 18? Answer to Zixi's headache.
"Isn't that right? Yao Guo's law, a woman can get married at the age of 14!" Ji Yan shouted in surprise, "Who said he was 18 years old?"
"Can I say it?" Xiang Zixi said angrily, "What on earth are you doing here?"
"Look? The dog bit Lv Dongbin, didn't he?" Ji Yan looked angrily: "Thanks to Shen Zhai, I still think about you every day, so you treat me like this!" Ji Yan said this and threw a pocket from his arms on the table.
"What is this?" Xiang Zixi opened it curiously and saw that there was actually a hundred taels of silver in it!
Xiang Zixi suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Where did you get so much money?"
"Don't worry, it's not stolen! I earned it myself!" Ji Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Really, he didn't tell me if he was short of money, and he even sold his jewelry!"
Suddenly, Xiang Zixi felt a little moved. Although Ji Yan is very bad and cunning, it is still surprising that he can be so careful.
At this time, Jin Haoxuan's voice sounded outside Xiang Zixi's door: "It turns out that someone is one step ahead of me!"
"Huoxuan? Do you have something to do? As soon as Xiang Zixi saw Jin Haoxuan, he was in a good mood, and Ji Yan on one side was even more unhappy.
"It's okay. I'll send you some money!" Jin Haoxuan threw his purse on the table: "Although I still have a little savings here, there are so many projects in your house, and I think it is necessary to spend a lot of money. Now, the pocket money given to Xiangjia is limited, and you are probably overstretched, right?
Ji Yan snorted coldly and was very impatient.
"That's great!" Xiang Zixi happily grabbed the two purses on the table: "With this money, my expectation can finally come true!"
Looking at Xiang Zixi's happy appearance, Jin Haoxuan and Ji Yan laughed at the same time.
"Okay, take your time. I have to go back to Shen's house." Ji Yan left this sentence and disappeared into the room.
Jin Haoxuan looked at Ji Yan's back meaningfully and said faintly, "This Ji Yan is really not simple!"
"Well, none of you are simple. It's just me!" Xiang Zixi made a grimace: "I'm going to let the little fat ones hurry up to implement it!"
Looking at Xiang Zixi, who was still sad just now, became happy and excited in an instant. Jin Haoxuan couldn't help shaking his head gently. Well, let me stay with you for a while before my plan is implemented!
At this time, Shen Zhuangmeng of the Shen family also received good news. Many ladies of large families said that they were very interested in the rouge gouache in Xiang Zixi's hands and were willing to buy it at a high price. This made Xiang Zixi breathe a deep sigh of relief and chuckled.
In fact, these cosmetics are really not big brands, but some popular moisturizing beauty products on supermarket shelves, such as Dabao and other skin creams. But despite this, it is already a shocking good thing in feudal society!
Xiang Zixi grabbed the abacus and calculated it, and unexpectedly you can get a large amount of silver! Great, the start-up funds are finally gathered!
And at this time, Wang Xi found Xiang Li and made it clear that he must marry Xiang Zixi. Xiang Li suddenly regretted it. Anyway, Wang Xi was her former lover, and the couple returned a hundred days of grace overnight. What's more, Wang Xi is still the object she is not bored with.
However, Xiang Zixi has also made it clear that she will not marry. What should she do?
After thinking about Li for a long time, he finally thought of a vicious plan and prepared to kill two birds with one stone!
On this day, Xiang Zixi and two maids appeared again in Wu County to supervise the construction of the craftsmen here. Because Shen Zhuangmeng was given a sample for free, Shen Zhuangmeng really worked hard to send the most effective craftsman to help build it. Sometimes I even come to see it in person, turn around, and attach great importance to it.
On this day, Xiang Zixi was chatting with Shen Zhuangmeng and brought her prepared cosmetics to entrust Shen Zhuangmeng to help sell, talking about the prime minister's visit to Wu County. Shen Zhuangmeng sighed and said, "It's really wise for you to give up!" The prime minister's trip has been delayed again and again. It seems that he has no hope for Wu County at all! We are also prepared for nothing!"
"How come? He will come sooner or later!" Xiang Zixi smiled gently: "Even if he doesn't come, you have achieved your goal. Even if you know other famous families in the future, you will add color!"
Shen Zhuangmeng looked at Xiang Zixi's manor and couldn't help admiring: "Zixi, I don't believe how others said you can do it before. I don't think you are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But now it seems that you are indeed smarter than my vision!"
Listening to Shen Zhuangmeng's heartfelt admiration, he smiled gently at Zixi.
