Chapter 923 Going to Yue Family
Chapter 923 Going to Yue Family
When Yue Jiarou heard this, the doubts in her heart were finally answered.
It turned out that the reason why the eldest sister became like this was because she had previously teased a young man from Yun Province, and the young man took the matter seriously.
What surprised Yue Jiarou even more was that the young man had actually cast a curse on her sister, causing her to become fat and unable to get married.
Now, with no other choice, my sister can only go to him, hoping that he can remove the poison.
Jiang Wenxing, who was standing by, was also shocked when he heard this.
He never imagined that there would be such a magical thing in the world.
If this kind of witchcraft could be used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be easy to kill the enemy?
Thinking of this, Jiang Wenxing felt excited and asked quickly, "Sister, when are you planning to leave for Yun Province? Do you need me to bring someone to accompany you?"
Jiang Wenming saw through Jiang Wenxing's thoughts at a glance. He said calmly, "Brother, you're not thinking of finding those so-called talented people and asking them to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, are you?"
Seeing Jiang Wenxing nod, he continued, "Let's not talk about whether you can find such a person. Even if you do find one, what bargaining chip can you use to convince them?"
"Moreover, most of these people are mountain dwellers. Their language is different from ours. If you can't even communicate with them, how can you expect them to work for you?"
Yue Jiayu stood up and said, "Don't leave tomorrow. Hold their engagement ceremony while you're here. Prepare for it tomorrow. Tomorrow night, our two families will have dinner together, and we can leave the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Jiyun turned to look at Jiang Wenming and said, "Uncle, I will listen to you."
Jiang Wenming saw Jiang Wenxing's eyes and agreed, "Okay, we will visit the Yue family tomorrow with gifts!"
After seeing off the two young ladies from the Yue family, Jiang Jiyun looked at the guards who had left with the two sisters and said, "My uncle Wen Xing has married into a wealthy family!"
"Stop joking and go take a shower." Jiang Wenming pulled Jiang Jiyun to the bathroom.
He also had to secretly tell Xiao Yuan that plans really cannot keep up with changes.
The next day, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming got up early. After looking at each other, they found an excuse and told Jiang Wenxing that they were going to buy some gifts for the Yue family.
So they went out for a stroll happily, and Xiao Wei followed them closely like a little follower, helping them carry things.
Because they were not familiar with local customs and habits, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming stopped and walked along the way. When they met a shop owner who looked more experienced, they went up to him and asked what gifts they should give to the woman's family when getting engaged.
After some inquiries, they finally had some idea about the etiquette of engagement.
In the afternoon, Jiang Wenxing finished a busy day and returned home.
The moment he stepped into the yard, he was suddenly stunned by the scene before him.
The yard was filled with all kinds of things hung with red silk, the dazzling array of things was dazzling.
Jiang Wenxing couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He knew that these were all gifts carefully prepared by his younger brother and niece for their engagement. They actually bought so many things on this single day without even using their own money.
Only then did he realize that what Jiang Wenming had said last night about him saving up his belongings to marry a wife was true, and they really didn't think much of what he had.
At this time, Jiang Wenming came out of the house and saw his cousin standing in the yard in a daze. He hurried over and said, "Brother, don't just stand there. These things are going to be sent to Yue's family. You have to arrange for someone to carry them over quickly. We can't carry so many things away with just a few of us!"
As night fell, Jiang Jiyun, Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei all changed into new clothes and prepared to go to Yue's house for dinner.
Although their skin has not fully recovered from previous exposure to the sun, their spirits are very good.
When they arrived at Yue's house, Yue Zhongan had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Seeing the full array of gifts sent by his son-in-law's family, Yue Zhongan showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Those side branches and relatives who had been eyeing the Yue family's property and wanted to find fault were speechless after seeing these gifts and could not find any fault at all.
Yue Jiayu looked at her sister's touched expression and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Jiang family really has some background. Many things here can't be bought with money alone. Although their elders are far away in Shandong Province, they are very concerned about you."
Just now, the guests were still talking about how Chief of Staff Jiang's brother spent a huge amount of money on the betrothal gifts.
And now, the Jiang family has finally arrived. Not only are there soldiers carrying the betrothal gifts, but they are also holding gift boxes in their hands as they walk in.
Jiang Wenming was led to Yue Zhongan. He said respectfully, "Uncle Yue, we are sorry to bother you with your presence today. This is a gift that our elders specially instructed us to prepare for you."
Yue Zhongan stretched out his hands and took the rectangular box handed to him by Jiang Wenming.
As soon as he touched the box, the relatives and friends around him seemed to be ignited and started to make a loud noise, urging him to open the box quickly to see what was inside.
The sudden noise made Old Man Yue's face instantly become gloomy.
These people are so rude and have no respect for others at all.
He had heard Jiang Wenxing talk about his family situation before. He was a young man from the countryside, and his village had suffered a brutal massacre by the Japanese devils.
He himself suffered a lot in the Japanese prisoner camp, and finally escaped and joined the army.
Jiang Wenxing once said that he still had relatives alive, but he didn't know where they were.
Unexpectedly, I would meet his cousin and niece here today, and also learned that there were elders at home.
Jiang Wenming seemed to sense Yue Zhongan's difficulty. He smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Yue, don't worry about it. You can open it and take a look without worrying about it. Although our Jiang family is not a famous family, we have everything that is needed. We are no less than others."
As for the gold and treasures that he and Jiang Jiyun hid themselves, ordinary people really couldn't compare to them, and Jiang Jiyun also planted precious herbs on the land in the space.
So when Yue Zhongan opened the box, everyone saw a complete ginseng that was over a hundred years old.
Yue Zhongan immediately closed the box and looked at Jiang Wenming who was also shocked.
Jiang Wenming said, "My sixth uncle studied medicine. He left these for us when we came out. We didn't use them along the way, so I'm giving them to Uncle Yue now. I hope you don't mind."
After hearing Jiang Wenming's explanation, Yue Zhongan quickly said, "How could you dislike such a good quality ginseng? But this thing can save your life, how can you give it away?"
"Because our family lives far away, the elders didn't have time to come over, so they told us not to embarrass our cousin." Jiang Wenming looked around at the people and continued, "This is our first time as the younger generation to do something big, so please don't mind our disrespect."
