Looking at Jiang Han's expression, Xu Shiqiu could roughly guess what he was thinking.
Thinking about the shock he felt when he first met Elder Sun, he could not help but laugh. ”Elder Sun, it's been so long since you last came out. ”Well, we were shocked to see you here.”
Once Xu Shiqiu said this, not only Jiang Han, but even Elder Sun and Yan Ye started laughing.
”What you said made a bit of sense. This old man has indeed not come out for a very long time.” ”However, even if this old man does not come out, this old man's reputation is still there.” After saying that to Xu Shiqiu, the Elder Sun looked directly at the smiling Jiang Han, and pointed at him: ”My junior has already told this old man about it, and this matter is his fault.”
Hearing the Elder Sun speak out and explain the situation, Jiang Han's heart was at ease.
As long as today, Elder Sun did not want to casually hide this matter.
Previously, he was afraid that the Elder Sun would use his identity to call this matter his own fault.
Seeing that Jiang Han only smiled and did not speak, Elder Sun sighed and said straightforwardly, ”His parents passed away young. It was this old man who raised them up all these years. And now, something like this has happened. This old man did not teach him well. ” After saying that, Elder Sun glanced at Yan Ye, and helplessly continued to speak to Jiang Han: ”It's just that this child is stubborn. Thus, this old man accompanied him here today. ”For this matter, I hope that you can spare him for my sake.”
Jiang Han understood that the Elder Sun was trying to put the blame on him.
However, with just the reputation of the Elder Sun s alone, it would not be good for him to make any excessive requests.
”Yanzhu is my cousin after all. I've thought about it in the past few days, even if she's not my wife, she's still my cousin.” Saying that, Jiang Han glanced at Yan Ye, and after confirming that he did not know him, he continued: ”Since you're someone my cousin likes, as your cousin, I will try my best to fulfill your wish. However, right now, my Jiang Family is also unable to protect myself. ”
Jiang Han did not hide it from him, and after he finished speaking, he started to talk about how his uncle's house, in order to get involved with Third Prince, had also dragged his Jiang Family in.
After saying that, Jiang Han brought up the matter of Third Prince wanting to ask for money.
”Although there's a lot of silver in Jiang Family and business, I, Jiang Han am not a person who doesn't have good judgement. For the sake of the Third Prince s, you have asked me to spend several generations of accumulated wealth, I am unwilling. ” After saying that, Jiang Han looked at Xu Shiqiu, and then continued: ”Right now, I just want Jiang Family to get rid of the Third Prince, and when Yanzhu and I are done with our marriage, not only will the dowry Yanzhu brought be taken away, I, as her cousin brother, will also prepare another dowry for her.”
Jiang Han said this very clearly, he even said out the difficulties his family had recently encountered.
The Third Prince wanted to rope him in, but he was unwilling.
This was the problem with Jiang Family.
As for the dowry that he had promised Xu Yanzhu, Xu Shiqiu and Yan Ye understood immediately. If they could settle this matter this time, Jiang Han would make use of her dowry to give them some silver.
Although Xu Shiqiu did not have much silver, he did not lack silver.
As for Yan Ye, Xu Shiqiu reckoned that he also had a lot of silver with him. After all, he had been able to escape from the crown prince's mansion with his life, so he definitely could have brought a lot of silver with him.
Furthermore, although the Sun family didn't seem like they were lacking, they owned a lot of land and didn't need to pay taxes. Thus, they didn't lack money.
However, if Yan Ye truly had that intention, the more silver he had, the better.
had tried to probe him a few times already, but he always said that he wasn't thinking of doing so.
The other one who was short of money was likely his brother-in-law.
Brother-in-law was definitely lacking in money. Even if his sister had a lot of dowry at the time and he still had money for her Zhang Family, if he wanted to sit on that son of his, he still needed to spend some money.
So at this time, Xu Shiqiu did not speak.
Xu Shiqiu did not speak, and after Jiang Han finished speaking, he did not speak either, as he waited for Yan Ye to speak.
When Elder Sun heard Jiang Han's words, although he felt that Jiang Han had some tricks up his sleeves, he was still a qualified businessman. The most important thing was that his eyesight was still good.
Yan Ye could feel that everyone was waiting for him to speak. He only pondered for a moment, and then said straightforwardly: ”The dowry, is a woman's confidence. ”In the future, I will leave all of them for the girls to give birth to. I can't do anything that would covet a girl's dowry.”
Although Yan Ye's words were not directly said, it was clear that he would not covet Xu Yanzhu's dowry.
Although Jiang Han did not know what Yan Ye's true identity was, just by coming here personally from the Elder Sun and the way Xu Shiqiu looked at Yan Ye, Jiang Han was already able to guess that Yan Ye's identity was likely not simple.
At the very least, he wouldn't be as simple as the grandson of the Elder Sun.
Jiang Han did not want to guess more, so what if he guessed it?
Right now, the most important thing for him was to protect Jiang Family's property.
With Yan Ye's words, when Elder Sun looked at Jiang Han again, the expression in his eyes became gentler than before, ”Don't worry, Yanzhu will be this old man's granddaughter in the future. With this old man protecting her, no one will dare to bully her.” Finished speaking, the Elder Sun did not care about their expressions, and continued: ”You are not young anymore, although you still guard your filial piety, but in the end, you still need to hurry up and pass on your teachings. In the future when you have a son that can read books, send someone to deliver it to the Sun family. If this old man is still alive at that time, I will personally teach him. If this old man does not live past that time, then this old man's eldest son will personally teach me. ”
Once Elder Sun made this promise, Jiang Han was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
It was not easy to change one's residence's Jiang Family. At least one shop's reputation would not be good.
However, if his son was able to follow the Sun family and study in the future, even if he couldn't participate in the Imperial examinations, the people he would meet in the future would definitely not be just some business family.
Most importantly, even if he was a merchant in the future, no one would look down on him if he became the Sun family's disciple.
Thinking about it here, Jiang Han's heart completely burned with passion.
