Chapter 451 Darkness(1/2)
Dou Zhao was still thinking about the case between Jiang Bosun and Song Mo. When he heard that Jiang Lizhu was asking for a meeting, he immediately welcomed her to the inner room and sent the servants in the room to ask her: "What's the important thing about you?"
Who knew that Jiang Lizhu said, "Is Sister Yan's marriage very unhappy?"
"It's a bit unsuccessful." Dou Zhao sighed, "most people come to propose marriage for a different purpose." He said, "I also know that Sister Yan is a remarriage. Others come to propose marriage, and they must have thought about it again and again. It's a normal human nature to have a purpose, but as long as it's not malicious, it's okay. But those people are not too old and their eldest son is about to get married; or they are not capable and have to rely on their brothers and elders in their family to live. Sister Yan has a gentle personality, and I really don't feel at ease to marry her to such a family."
Jiang Lizhu nodded.
If you are too old, you may not be able to live with your brothers and elders in your family. There will be many troubles. Moreover, Jiang Yan remarries and is inevitably wronged. Moreover, if you suffer grievances, your husband is not able to give his wife a chance. The worst thing is that.
She hesitated for a moment and pondered: "My cousin, do you think it's feasible if I mention someone?"
Dou Zhao was a little surprised, but she knew that Jiang Lizhu was not the kind of person who didn't know the importance of it. Since she spoke, she probably thought about it in her heart, so she said seriously: "You said."
Jiang Lizhu said: "Mr. Chen Jia and Chen from the Jinyiwei Fushi, what do you think?"
Dou Zhao was furious.
She didn't expect Chen Jia to be such a person!
He asked Chen Jia to come forward to take care of Jiang Yan's affairs, because he could trust him, but now he has the idea of Jiang Yan!
It's really a pity for his heart.
Dou Zhao almost jumped up. But when she saw Jiang Lizhu's sincere and honest expression, she calmed down again.
Chen Jia had the intention of asking for help in front of Jiang Lizhu, and Jiang Lizhu couldn't listen to the wind and rain, so she came to say such things to herself.
Could this be Jiang Lizhu’s idea?
Or is it Jiang Yan’s meaning?
Dou Zhao felt a moment of panic.
She was afraid that Chen Jia would coax Jiang Yan with sweet words... Even if she exposed Chen Jia's face, how could she say that the feelings she let go would be taken back if they were taken back?
Jiang Yan has a rough life experience. How could she bear to make Jiang Yan sad again!
Dou Zhao couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Why did you think of Lord Chen?"
Jiang Lizhu told Dou Zhao about the scene of seeing Chen Jia and Jiang Yan together twice.
Dou Zhao couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts when he heard this.
Jiang Lizhu said, "I shouldn't have interfered in this matter. First, I can see that my cousin and my cousin-law are really sorry for my sister Yan. Second, I and my sister Yan are in love. Seeing that my cousin and my cousin-law were worried about their marriage, I also thought that you didn't want to marry through Jiang Yan, and not to make a good reputation for yourself. So I said something more. I also know what my cousin-law is worried about. I can guarantee that Sister Yan and Lord Chen are gentlemen who are polite and have no such dirty thoughts. I think these two are suitable, so I want to match these two." She told Dou Zhao her words to test Jiang Yan.
If Dou Zhao and Song Mo want to earn a good name and keep Jiang Yan at home to keep their rituals, it will be easier than finding a way to marry her, and it will be more praised by everyone.
Dou Zhao never dreamed of begging Jiang Yan to Chen Jia.
In her opinion, Jiang Yan is very secretive about her past. Chen Jia is an insider. Even if she doesn't hide from Chen Jia, she should be a little uncomfortable in front of Chen Jia. How could she be the most relaxed when facing Chen Jia?
She stroked her forehead and murmured, "You let me think about it!"
Jiang Li nodded and stood up to say goodbye.
Jiang Yan and Chen Jia?
The more Dou Zhao thought about it, the worse he felt.
Chen Jia is utilitarian, skilled and ambitious. Jiang Yan married him. Will he treat Jiang Yan sincerely?
And the Chen family is very complicated.
Chen Jia was the Jinyiwei who was promoted to the position of his uncle. It is said that because of this incident, several of his uncles made a big fuss. If Chen Xi had not invited the head of the Chen family to come forward, Chen Jia's errands would have been ruined, and several of his uncles had cut off contact with him because of this.
For this matter, let’s forget it!
Dou Zhao thought.
Jiang Yan is here.
She asked Dou Zhao with a smile: "I heard that the twelfth sister is here, where is her people?"
That smile was as bright as the sunshine at noon, without a trace of haze. Where can I still have the restraint between my eyebrows that I often hang on my face for half a day?
Dou Zhao couldn't help but say, "I have something I want to ask you..."
"Sister-in-law, please tell me." Jiang Yan sat beside Dou Zhao with affectionateness.
Dou Zhao said hesitantly and said in a low voice: "Li Zhu is here to be a matchmaker for you..."
Jiang Yan's face turned red, instead of being so pale as usual when he heard someone coming to kiss her.
Dou Zhao was secretly concerned and said, "She mentioned Mr. Chen Jia..."
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to her." Jiang Yan suddenly remembered what Jiang Lizhu said to her, and his face changed drastically. He grabbed Dou Zhao's arm tightly, and his face turned pale in an instant. "Mr. Chen and I are really nothing! I just asked him to ask me for information twice..." She shed tears of horror, "Sister-in-law, I beg you, don't make things difficult for Lord Chen, he is a good person... I will never see him again... It's not easy for him to this day, so don't tell your brother..."
Jiang Yan's emotions were beyond Dou Zhao's expectations.
She couldn't help but remember what Jiang Lizhu said when she mentioned Jiang Yan and Chen Jia were together.
Dou Zhao hurriedly put his shoulder on Jiang Yan and said warmly: "Don't worry. I didn't misunderstand you. I know you are a good boy who keeps politeness. Li Zhu also sincerely wants to be this matchmaker for you..."
Jiang Yan felt a little relieved in his heart and shook his head repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, I know you are for my own good. I won't marry, and I won't marry anyone..."
Seeing her look frightened, Dou Zhao hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, okay, don't marry if you don't want to marry. Please help your sister-in-law take care of Brother Yuan at home." He hugged her and patted her back gently to soothe her emotions.
Jiang Yan was really regretful and hated at this time, and tears couldn't help but fall.
If she had known this, she would have told her brother and sister-in-law about borrowing money, and Chen Jia would not have been in such trouble.
She choked and told Dou Zhao about borrowing the money: "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault. If I hadn't borrowed 100 taels of silver from Lord Chen, Lord Chen wouldn't have seen me..."
Dou Zhao was stunned and said, "You said, you have returned Lord Chen forty-eight taels of silver. You still owe Lord Chen for fifty-two taels of silver?"
Jiang Yan was afraid that Dou Zhao would not believe it, so he hurriedly said, "The silver was sent by the servant in the mansion for me. If you don't believe it, I can ask the servant to come in and ask questions."
"Nonsense." Dou Zhao stroked her head and whispered, "You are the eldest lady in the mansion. If you say yes, you say yes, you say no, you say no, how can you call the servant in to ask questions?"
Jiang Yan nodded.
Dou Zhao personally poured her a cup of hot tea and said, "Wipe your tears quickly. Drink a cup of hot tea."
Jiang Yan wiped his tears gently and drank tea.
Dou Zhao sighed.
Jiang Yan has lived in the Li family for too long, and some habits are difficult to change. It is indeed difficult for her to be a clan wife.
She helped Jiang Yan clean up his somewhat messy hair.
Jiang Yan begged Dou Zhao: "Sister-in-law, please help me pay back the fifty-two taels of silver from Lord Chen? Even if I pay the monthly bill in advance."
Dou Zhao nodded with a smile and remembered Chen Xi.
Could it be that Chen Jia is still short of this hundred taels of silver? What kind of mentality did he accept Jiang Yan's forty-eight taels of silver?
Dou Zhao's mood changes are a bit subtle.
She felt that she knew something, and she felt a little reluctant to believe her guess.
Dou Zhao immediately arranged for someone to pay back the money.
Jiang Yan came out of Dou Zhao's house, but cried silently all the way back to Bishuixuan. As soon as she returned to Bishuixuan, she immediately sent Yinghong: "Go to the Chen family and talk to Tao Erniang, and then I said that my sister-in-law already knew about me borrowing money. Let Lord Chen be careful."
There were so many that she didn't dare to say, for fear that it would be rumored to make Chen Jia's situation even more difficult. She believed that with his power, she would definitely be able to guess what she meant. She came up with a countermeasure to make her brother and sister-in-law believe him.
Yinghong should be "yes", but she dared not respond with arbitrary advice.
She went to report to Dou Zhao first.
Dou Zhao was reading the account book and said lightly, "I understand." He said, "Since it is Miss Cousin's order, just do as you want."
Yinghong didn't know what Dou Zhao meant. She responded tremblingly, stepped back, turned around and went to Yuqiao Hutong.
Dou Zhao sighed.
She praised Jiang Yan like this, but Jiang Yan couldn't even conquer the maids around her.
If Jiang Yan married Chen Jia... With Chen Jia's power, I believe no one dared to use tricks in front of Jiang Yan, right?
She put down the account book.
It would be better to ask Yinghong to send a letter to Chen Jia.
Whether this matter will be successful depends on how Chen Jia chooses?
※※※※※
Chen Jia came back very late.
He saw someone waiting for him in front of his door from afar.
At first, Chen Jia thought he was the one who asked him for his business, but when he got closer, he realized that it was Tao Erniang.
He was quite surprised.
Tao Erniang is in charge of the inner courtyard, and there is no woman in his inner courtyard, so what can I do?
But before his sedan chair could stop, Tao Erniang hurriedly came up.
"Master, Miss Yinghong from the mansion has arrived." It was already said, and Tao Erniang stopped the topic.
Chen Jia's heart skipped, and he walked inward after getting off the sedan chair.
To be continued...
