    Chapter 303: Take it out Chen Jing doesn¡¯t feel good about using three hundred thousand taels of silver to get engaged.  It¡¯s not that he¡¯s not feeling well, it¡¯s that he¡¯s afraid that Princess Jiahe will feel bad.  Although Princess Jiahe could not be present, he could still guess her embarrassed expression.  Jiahe is a woman who strives for the best. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of a?wedding gift, originally a very normal thing, but making a fuss about this matter and asking a sky-high price, there is always the illusion of selling her daughter, Princess Jiahe is not proud of it.  She felt ashamed.  No matter how much money it is, she is unwilling to connect herself with money, like an item waiting to be sold.  But when King Zheng made such a fuss, Chen Jing and Jiahe both had to grit their teeth and swallow all the embarrassment.  All the embarrassments are not enough to resist Chen Jing's determination to get married.  "I'll make it up to her in the future." Chen Jing thought, "If she doesn't want to marry me, she won't have to suffer such injustice." Chen Jing and Yang Zhizhou took the people around them to Prince Zheng's Mansion.  There were many people sitting around the main hall of Prince Zheng's Mansion.  Chen Jing followed Yang Zhizhou and after bowing quietly, King Zheng asked them to sit down.  There are two rows of chairs in the middle hall, both covered with silver-red embroidered gold-threaded chair cloths. They are gorgeous and rich in brocade. The chief is sitting in the middle. The brothers of Princess Jiahe are sitting in the left row. The fifth prince is also present.  šIetChen Jing and Yang Zhizhou are sitting on the right.  "What's your surname?" One of the men, who was about the same age as Chen Jing, raised his eyelids and glanced at Chen Jing. He asked Chen Jing in a cold and indifferent tone, with contempt and disdain in his aloofness.  He is the Third Lieutenant and the son of Princess Zheng.  He is the brother of Princess Jiahe.  King Zheng¡¯s sons all have some of King Zheng¡¯s habits.  They look down upon everyone in the world.  The arrogant demeanor of the Third Lieutenant was exactly the same as that of King Zheng.  This way.  Chen Jing understood the second lieutenant's arrogance and rudeness more.  "My surname is Chen, my given name is Jing, and I am from Wang County in Zhejiang Province." Chen Jing respectfully replied to the Third Lieutenant. ??????????????????????????????????????????????? ¡°Marry a daughter with your head raised, marry a wife with your head lowered.¡± Since you want to marry someone else¡¯s daughter, you naturally have to keep a low profile, be beaten or scolded, and respond to every request.  Chen Jing knew clearly that the Third Lieutenant looked down upon him.  Still showing great respect, he spoke to the Third Lieutenant.  He is respecting Princess Jiahe.  "Wangxian?" The Third Lieutenant snorted from his nostrils, "I have never heard of a small place where birds don't poop?" Yang Zhizhou frowned slightly.  Yang Zhizhou cleared his throat and spoke: "Wangxian County is indeed a small and remote place. There has been no talented and famous people in these years. It is because we have failed to live up to our expectations and feel ashamed." The Third Lieutenant suddenly choked up.  It turns out that Yang Zhizhou is also from Wangxian County.  The Third Lieutenant¡¯s scolding of Chen Jing was unequivocal, but he was a bit afraid of Yang Zhizhou.  There are a bunch of words that disparage Wangxian at the back.  The third lieutenant swallowed it all and did not dare to talk too much about Chen Jing's hometown.  "Mr. Yang Guolao, we are about to get married. We still don't know the origin of Brother Chen." King Zheng's eldest son, who had already invited the crown prince, slowly spoke.  King Zheng looked relaxed and content.  He looked at Chen Jing and Yang Zhizhou with a look that was watching a good show, and didn't take it seriously.  Let his sons make things difficult for him.  If it weren't for Yang Zhizhou, King Zheng would have wanted to make things difficult for him.  Prince Zheng¡¯s Mansion has never thought about actually entering into a marriage relationship with Chen Jing.  They just treat Chen Jing as a poor boy who wants to climb high and doesn't know the heights of the world!  Because of this, no one from Prince Zheng¡¯s mansion even inquired about Chen Jing¡¯s origins and life experience.  They are all here today.  Firstly, it was to look at Yang Zhizhou, and secondly, it was to laugh.  "Brother Chen, what kind of relative is Yang Guolao?" After Prince Zheng asked, he added something himself.  They are not interested in Chen Jing's identity. He is just a poor boy from a poor place in the countryside. He is somewhat related to Yang Zhizhou, but he suddenly became the son-in-law of the royal family.  How could such a good thing happen?  King Zheng and his sons all thought Chen Jing was ridiculous.  "Not relatives, just fellow villagers." Chen Jing explained, as respectful and gentle as ever.  "Oh" Prince Zheng protracted his voice meaningfully, with a contemptuous and funny smile on his face.  "I am from Wang County. My father is an only son. He has no uncles and no family business. After my father passed away, only my eldest brother and I were left. My eldest brother went to Beijing four years ago to take the exam and disappeared. We may find him this year.  Traces. I opened a small pharmacy in Wang County," Chen Jing continued to explain.   Prince Zheng, the Crown Prince, and the Third Lieutenant all shook their heads helplessly.  With this status and wealth, why would he marry a princess?  It¡¯s simply ridiculous.  If Yang Zhizhou hadn¡¯t protected the matchmaker, King Zheng would have beaten Chen Jing out because he felt that he was really unreliable!  "I admire Princess Jiahe and want to marry Princess Jiahe. My sincerity is evident, and I ask the prince to agree." Chen Jing continued.  King Zheng laughed.  King Zheng is tall and strong, with muscles all over his body. He looks very heroic and majestic when he smiles.  "This is the draft from my daughter Sanniang. I always say it is true and never regret it. Since I agreed to Yang Guolao, there is no reason to regret it! As long as Mr. Chen Yinuo comes up with the betrothal gift, we will exchange the draft on the spot.  Come on!" King Zheng smiled happily.  In this dynasty, the steps of marriage are as follows: First, ask a highly respected matchmaker to write a proposal, which also becomes the "proposal letter".  There is no specific format for a marriage proposal. You just need to belittle the man and lift the woman up. This is still the common practice of "lowering your head to marry a wife", and your posture must be low!  The woman accepted the marriage proposal, and if she agreed to the proposal, she would reply with a "draft proposal", later also called a Geng proposal.  The woman first gives a cursive note, which states the woman's age, birthday, official positions of her grandfather and father, and dowry items, including dowry fields, concubines, silk, satin, gold and silver pieces, etc.  Dowry materials are very important.  Because after the woman takes out the sketch, she still has to predict bad luck for the man.  The man takes the woman's birth date and horoscope as an example. If there is good luck, there will be no luck.  The man replies with a draft, and the marriage is done.  Wait for the two sides to exchange draft notes.  The marriage was completely settled, just like getting a marriage certificate in later generations.  If the woman regrets it again.  It is tantamount to remarriage.  As for the next steps, they are all carried out according to etiquette and there are no obvious legal restrictions.  King Zheng took out the draft. Chen Jing was shocked and suddenly felt like the dust had settled.  "Show it to Yang Guolao for review." King Zheng was not afraid that Yang Zhizhou would steal his daughter's draft, so he happily gave it to Yang Zhizhou.  Chen Jing also leaned over to take a look.  King Zheng¡¯s draft is undoubtedly the same as the draft for marrying his daughter in Jingli. It also states Princess Jiahe¡¯s age, birthday, title, Prince Zheng¡¯s own title, and dowry.  Don¡¯t say anything else.  King Zheng's dowry amounted to 400,000 taels in cash.  When a daughter is married in Jingli, the dowry is based on the betrothal gift, with about 30% added.  Chen Jing took out 300,000 taels, and this draft belongs to Chen Jing.  "We have already read Yang Guolao's proposal. This is the princess's draft proposal. If there is no difference, please bring the betrothal gift over." King Zheng smiled lightly.  The clouds are calm and the wind is gentle.  Yang Zhizhou looked at it carefully and made sure that there was no tampering. The draft was in compliance with the law, and he was very happy.  "Your Majesty, it's not that easy to get three hundred thousand taels of cash," Yang Zhizhou explained.  "He said this, King Zheng, the Crown Prince and the Third Lieutenant.  All showed contemptuous smiles.  The princess¡¯s draft papers have been taken out, and now she says she has no money.  Didn't Yang Zhizhou bring shame on himself?  The Fifth Lieutenant was very anxious and wished he could stand up and say a few words for Chen Jing.  They each have their own thoughts.  Then I heard Yang Zhizhou continue: "The bank is in a hurry to turn over 300,000 taels of cash, and we also need to prepare. The bank has discussed with us and is already sending the money." There is still an hour before the bank is ready.  King Zheng sneered.  The Crown Prince and the Third Lieutenant exchanged glances, wondering how Yang Zhizhou and the man surnamed Chen would end up.  "What's wrong? It's just that I have no money and want to delay time!"  The Fifth Lieutenant also felt that Chen Jing was stalling for time and hoped that someone would intercede and reduce the amount of the betrothal gift.  "My sister is determined and hard to change. If she can't marry Divine Doctor Chen, she's afraid she won't survive. If I don't help her, who will help her?" the Fifth Lieutenant thought to himself.  Since Chen Jing and Yang Zhizhou are delaying, hoping that things will turn around, the Fifth Lieutenant has to take action.  The Fifth Lieutenant wanted to help Chen Jing.  However, he always spoke softly in front of his father, fearing that his words would have no effect at all.  Even so, the Fifth Lieutenant also planned to give it a try.  "Dad, look," the Fifth Lieutenant was a little flustered. His first words when he stood up were not very clever.  King Zheng coughed heavily.  The words behind Wu Tai Wei suddenly forgot, a little scared in his heart, sitting back back.  "Wulang, you are worried that Mr. Chen has no money and your sister will not be able to get married."??  "The prince asked with a smile. "The prince respects Princess Zheng's stepmother very much, but Princess Jiahe and the Fifth Lieutenant are both his half-brothers and sisters, so he doesn't like them very much. Especially Jiahe County.  Lord, she is very popular with the Queen Mother. Not only the sisters, but also the brothers are outclassed by her. The prince especially dislikes her. It is not her duty to show off her abilities like that. Women should be useless and hide away.  Stay safe at home, instead of showing off your skills and stealing the limelight from men! "Don't worry, Jiahe is also the legitimate daughter of the royal family, so she has no worries about marriage. Without Mr. Chen, she would still be Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, and there are many latecomers.  "The prince said calmly. The fifth captain heard his insult to Princess Jiahe and felt unhappy. He stood up and said: "There are many girls in a family. No matter how many come after, it is my sister's glory. What are you talking about in this weird way?  Woolen cloth?  " "Isn't it an honor?  The prince burst out laughing, "No, I'm marrying your sister with a dowry of three hundred thousand taels. None of the girls' families in the capital are worthy of such a heavy betrothal gift, right?"  " The prince said something sarcastic again. "It's an honor to be able to get it. But, can Chen Jing get it? Today's incident is nothing more than a joke. The prince was feeling very proud. Prince Zheng and the Third Lieutenant did not speak.  One is the father and the other is the brother. Although they do not take Princess Jiahe seriously, they do not agree to insult her. King Zheng is extremely patriarchal. In his eyes, his daughter is not a human being, but a loser.  And the Third Lieutenant followed his father in the southwest in his early years. Apart from his mother, he had no relationship with anyone else in the family, including his two siblings, Princess Jiahe and the Fifth Lieutenant. ¡°Brother Chen, when will your betrothal gift arrive?  " Seeing that the Fifth Lieutenant was about to cry, the Crown Prince did not make trouble with him. He just turned his finger on Chen Jing. "That's right.  "Chen Jing explained, "When the bank takes out the cash, it has to be turned around. It is not something that can be taken immediately, so we have discussed it and they are already bringing the money over." "In more than half an hour, it will be correct.  The prince laughed and said, "Brother Chen, don't you try any more tricks?"  " "Did you invite someone to intercede?  "The Third Lieutenant intervened. "Brother Chen, let me advise you, if you really have no money and can't come up with the money for this betrothal gift, you'd better tell him earlier to avoid embarrassment later.  300,000 taels. Even the wealthy businessmen of several generations combined don¡¯t have this kind of wealth, right?  "The more the prince spoke, the less hesitant he was, and he finally spoke out what was in his heart. The Third Lieutenant also felt that Chen Jing was nervous, but it was just delaying. So, the brothers talked more and more, to undermine Chen Jing's self-confidence and make him feel nervous.  Collapse, before waiting for reinforcements, the prince and the third prince sang together, and secretly looked at Yang Zhizhou's face. Seeing that Yang Zhizhou did not dare to show his anger, the two brothers became even more enthusiastic, and became more and more mean as they spoke.  A princess, rising to prominence?  Those scholars have to endure decades of hard work before they can marry women from prominent families.  And our princess is not just from a distinguished family, but also from a clan.  Since Brother Chen has such great ambitions, it is better to go back and study hard behind closed doors than to pretend to be powerful.  When the time comes to pass the Jinshi examination, let alone 300,000 taels, or even 300 taels, you can marry a rich and noble girl.  Prince Zheng shook his head and said, every word was like a sharp knife, and all of them were mean. "Exactly these words, even though Yang Guolao is powerful, he can't help you steal the bride."  "The Third Lieutenant intervened. Now even Yang Zhizhou is being sarcastic." King Zheng smiled and felt particularly comfortable watching his two sons sarcasticly discuss Yang Zhizhou. He did not dare to offend Yang Zhizhou, but his sons were just juniors and had no taboos in speaking.  Scolding Yang Zhizhou was in vain. Can Yang Zhizhou lower his status and be as knowledgeable as a junior? They said a lot of vicious and sarcastic words. Finally, the boy in front came in and said: "Wande Bank sent cash, saying it was Mr. Chen."  Let it be delivered.  " King Zheng was shocked. " If it were another powerful person, King Zheng would not be surprised. After all, 300,000 taels is an amount that only the most famous wealthy businessmen in the world can afford. Chen Jing can't afford it.  Normally, it would be weird if he could get it. But the arrival of the banker showed that Chen Jing was shocked. His thick eyebrows were deeply furrowed. The big shopkeeper of the bank over there was already polite.  He was so angry that he gave the banknote to Chen Jing, and then asked people to carry all the money and put it in the yard. Chen Jing came out first, followed by King Zheng, Shi Ziye and San.The first lieutenant and the fifth lieutenant also hurriedly came out to take a look.  On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the thin sun hung on the treetops, giving off a little golden light.  The golden light shone on the snow-white silver, and the whole yard was filled with white light.  Chen Jing took a look at it personally, and turned around to ask Prince Zheng to take a look. When she turned around, she saw Prince Zheng, his father and his son, all with their mouths wide open, as if they were nailed to the door, unable to move.  Their eyes were filled with light, I don¡¯t know if it was the light or the reflected silver light, they were completely dumbfounded.  To be continued) PS: A few words: Brothers and sisters all know that I am just filling in the holes, so it is impossible to write anything perfect later. Just filling in the holes will definitely be rough and hasty, so please don't encourage me.  Me, every time I see everyone¡¯s encouragement, I feel guilty and guilty, but also powerless, which makes me feel very sad.  This book has been out for half a year, and I really can¡¯t pick it up. I¡¯m sorry, I can only try my best to fill in the holes!  Sorry everyone again!
