98 Prince Teng who was almost mad

When Xue Pan heard that it was only 20,000 taels, he suddenly became dissatisfied.

Who are you looking down on? I, the Xue family, care about your 20,000 taels of silver?

And I saved your two families once, is it worth this little money?

Besides, my sister suffered a big loss.

After thinking about it, he simply excused himself and said, "I have to go and talk to Bo Qian first. If he doesn't agree, I don't dare to be his master."

Jia She and others felt nervous, but Wang Ziteng could tell at a glance that Xue Pan was dissatisfied with the lack of dowry.

"Then how much dowry do you think my nephew-in-law will be satisfied with?"

Xue Pan blurted out, "No matter what, it will cost 100,000 taels."

"Bad thing."

Wang Ziteng slapped the table and saw that even other princely houses did not have the standard of 100,000 taels for marrying off their daughters.

Xue Pan looked at Jia She and Jia Zheng. Everyone thought about it carefully, and soon remembered that when Jia Min got married, it was so red that the Jia family was almost emptied.

Wang Ziteng could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

Jia Daishan is a real Duke of Rongguo. Who are you, Xue Pan?

And back then, Lin Ruhai was not only Tan Hua Lang, but also had a family background of five generations, while Shi Boqian was just a civil servant at this time.

Even if he can reach the rank of Six Yuan in the future and have unlimited fame, his family background is still far behind compared to the family background of the five generations of princes.

You idiot Xue really has the nerve to compare Baochai and Jia Min.

But no matter how angry he was, he asked Xue Pan for help. Wang Ziteng still suppressed his anger, thinking that when this matter was over, he would call him home and teach him a lesson carefully.

Looking at Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, they saw that these three guys had evasive eyes, not even daring to look at themselves.

Wow, I didn’t expect that your Jia family, Ningrong family, and your family would not even part with 50,000 taels of silver.

And if the two governments are really short of money, it's not that the two generations of princes have built such a rich family fortune, but that the fourth generation has fallen to this point.

Unfortunately, I used to have a lot of scruples about your Jia family. Now it seems that this family is just a hollow boss, and they are useless.

But thinking of Jia's mother who was still alive, Wang Ziteng felt helpless again.

If this old lady's gossip spreads outside, the civil and military officials in the court will definitely laugh at her.

Moreover, if there is a problem with the lifelong friendship between the four families of Jia, Shi, Xue, and Wang, it is tantamount to telling outsiders that this alliance has ceased to exist in name only, and someone will definitely attack me who is in a high position.

When Wang Ziteng thought of this, he calmed down.

Thinking about it carefully, I suddenly wanted to slap myself.

Originally, Baochai was going to marry Shi Zhongkui, so why did she have to help the Jia family marry Yingchun?

It would be even easier to appease Shi Zhongkui. Let's sit down and talk together and exchange interests. Maybe we don't have to pay even two cents.

Moreover, this matter was originally caused by the Jia family. I am really a fool to jump in and help the Jia family with money and effort. Now I am still thankless for my efforts. I am no longer a human being inside and outside.

Bastard, the prince's face turned red for a moment.

But Wang Ziteng had forgotten that even if Jia Zheng had set his sights on Jia Yucun again, it would not have been easy for Jia Yucun to recover without his presence.

Now that something has happened, I want to distance myself from the relationship. How can it be so easy?

Moreover, if the Jia family is unlucky, his son, Wang Ziteng, will be in even greater trouble.

Back then, he was able to take the position of Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp. Without the relationship between the two princes Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan in the army at that time, it would not have been his prince's turn to have a descendant of the county uncle.

After a while, Wang Ziteng suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Brother Pan, as an uncle I haven't been to see my nephew and son-in-law for so long, why don't I go and see him tonight?"

Xue Bian suddenly felt confused, and Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen didn't know what to say.

On the contrary, Jia Lian reacted suddenly. Could it be that the Wang family's uncle didn't want to interfere with the Jia family's affairs and went to negotiate terms with Shi Boqian?

"Uncle, no."

After Jia Lian said this, he regretted it. If Wang Ziteng left the Jia family, then all the promises he had just made in front of Jia's mother would not count.

He doesn't have to worry about his title in Rongguo Mansion being taken away by Jia Baoyu.

Now that the words have been spoken, it is too late for Jia Lian to regret it, and if he thinks about it carefully, if Yingchun marries Shi Boqian, he might be able to make a name for himself in the future.

When the time comes, even if Baoyu has Wang Ziteng's help and he is not bad at all, can he, Wang Ziteng, still be better than etiquette?

Not to mention that if he had Shi Boqian's help, he would also have the help of the master behind him, which would be no worse than Wu Xun's Wang Ziteng.

After thinking about it this way, Jia Lian quickly came to the conclusion that there would be greater benefits in marrying in the Spring Festival.

"What kind of status does uncle have, how can he enter Boqian's house at night?"

Wang Ziteng understood as soon as he heard this. He was the military governor of the Beijing camp. With countless pairs of eyes staring at him, someone might be able to trace Jia Yucun.

And if this matter reaches the ears of the Supreme Emperor, it will also be a big trouble.

"Alas", Wang Ziteng could only nod in the end.

Looking away at Jia She and Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen said, "A dowry of 50,000 taels for a family. As for calligraphy and painting, my sister-in-law and the eldest master are not afraid of being hated and missed, so don't give it away."

After saying that, he cupped his hands and said "goodbye", flicked his sleeves and left directly.

"He, he", Jia She's beard trembled in anger.

Jia Zheng's expression was not much better, but Jia Zhen also reacted at this time and exclaimed, "It's so dangerous."

Then he looked at Jia Lian with admiration and said, "If it wasn't for my second brother's quick reaction, my Jia family was almost abandoned by my uncle because of a little money."

Jia Zheng was startled and asked quickly, "Where do you start talking about this?"

When Jia Zhen explained, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and said that she was very careful. Not only did the look in her eyes soften a lot when she looked at Jia Lian, Jia Zheng looked at her with appreciation and relief.

Speaking of Jia She and Jia Zheng, the two brothers are really weird. It's hard to see how their own sons look at them.

-----

Early the next morning, after Shi Zhongkui had finished breakfast, he saw Xue Pan coming to the door with Jia Lian and Jia Zhen.

They were dragged into the study by Xue Pan. As soon as they finished drinking tea, Shun'er and the other servants were summoned away by Xue Pan.

Shun'er saw that Shi Zhongkui didn't say anything, and since Xue Pan was already an uncle, there was no way that the servants of the Shi family would offend him.

Besides, except for Shun'er and the three servants who were transferred from the Yu family, all the other servants were selected by Baochai himself.

Then several servants of the Xue family came in carrying four boxes, but were sent away again by Xue Pan.

Shi Zhongkui didn't care what Xue Pan and the others were going to do, but when he saw that the four opened boxes were all filled with calligraphy and paintings, he was suddenly shocked.

"This is?"

Xue Pan walked behind him like a dog and muttered in a low voice.

The more he heard about it, the more surprised Shi Zhongkui became. He didn't expect that his little trick could have such an effect.

The antiques, calligraphy and paintings were okay, but the dowry of one hundred thousand taels of silver was not in his mind at this time.

After all, if a woman is married as a dowry, as long as the male owner has some ambition and self-esteem, he will not take advantage of these properties.

But what he never expected was that the Jia family was actually willing to marry Yingchun as well.
