Ji Yu was really angry now: "It's unreasonable."

"What's Mr. Zhuang's attitude? What about Mr. Wei? Just watching Miss Zhuang being bullied like this?"

Tong Jingyuan sneered: "Mr. learned the truth, and regretted it too much. No matter how pedantic and stubborn Mr. is, it is impossible to push the only girl into the fire pit, so naturally he refuses. Master Wei is also on the side of the banker, but Scholar Mei isMiss Zhuang's aunt's nephew, her uncle is afraid of guilt and dare not speak for him. The Mei and Zhuang families have a marriage contract, and if the Mei family doesn't let go, the Zhuang family will have to send their daughter to marry."

And such bad habits?Ji Yu, whose soul comes from modern times, naturally couldn't understand: "If Mr. Lu doesn't care, then we'll go to Weizhou to file a complaint and dissolve the engagement."

Tong Jingyuan shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid it's useless. Scholar Mei's uncle is the general judge of Ding Province. Even State Governor Wei, I'm afraid he has to sell his face. Great Kang not only has laws, but also local customs. Three Books SixEven if Miss Zhuang has not married into the Mei family, she is already considered the Mei family. In this case, if the Mei family does not let go, the Zhuang family has nothing to do. Even, there are such pedantic and ignorantYes, her fiancé passed away, and the girl wants to show her ambition with death!"

Ji Yu: "..."

This damn family!It's a damn local custom.

Tong Jingyuan said again: "I heard that Scholar Mei is polite and well-educated outside, but he is licentious and violent in private. The first two ladies were all drunk and beaten to death by him. It's just that the Mei family concealed it well, so outsiders don't know."

Ji Yu sneered and said, "Then Mrs. Lu didn't know? She pushed Miss Zhuang into the fire pit?"

Tong Jingyuan sighed: "The Mei family thought they had to find someone who could restrain Scholar Mei, so they paid attention to Miss Zhuang. Mr. Zhuang didn't notice, so..."

He snorted again: "Miss Zhuang's mother is just a married woman, and Mr. Zhuang is a scholar without official or job title. What can I do? The Lu family's love for Miss Zhuang is an illusion. The Mei family defended their son in order to cover up the scandal.Because of her reputation, Miss Zhuang must go through the door. The Lu family dare not let a fart go."

Ji Yu suppressed the anger in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said: "No, we have to find a way to call off this marriage."

He looked up at Tong Jingyuan again: "Brother Jing Yuan, what are Mr. Zhuang's and Mr. Wei's plans?"

Tong Jingyuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhuang and the others mean that they want to spend money to settle this matter."

"Money?" Ji Yu laughed angrily, "It's the Mei family who are wrong, and they want to spend money from the Zhuang Family? How much? With their rogue attitude, no one can get away with tens of thousands of taels of money."Got it?"

Tong Jingyuan also smiled: "Sister-in-law husband Lang is really extraordinary, and he can predict things like a god. The Mei family said that the engagement can be terminated, and one hundred thousand taels of silver."

"One hundred thousand taels?" Ji Yu was so angry that his heart and lungs were cramping: "Can the Zhuang Family get it? Even if you and I are taken out, there is no such hundred thousand taels!"

Tong Jingyuan lowered his head and sighed: "I only have 10,000 taels on hand, and my second brother is willing to pay 5,000 taels. The rest are all shared property of the Tong family, so I can't touch them."

Ji Yu was very depressed: "I can take out fifteen thousand taels at most."

Tong Jingyuan: "Sir, Mr. Wei can only collect five thousand taels. It was only after selling the house and the ancestral land."

But this is only thirty-five thousand taels!

"No." Ji Yu was so angry that he had a headache: "It's the Mei family's fault, why daylight robbery? I'll find someone to go."

Tong Jingyuan tentatively asked, "Are you going to find San..."

Ji Yu neither admitted nor denied it.

In this situation, we can only find the third prince.

Didn't the third prince want to recognize the fourth brother Xiao Wu?Miss Zhuang can save the fourth brother Xiao Wu, the third prince, the mother, can't repay him?

But when he reached the door of the East courtyard, he hesitated again.

If he opens his mouth, it means he has something to ask for, then the fourth brother and Xiao Wu can only recognize the third prince.

If the fourth brother Xiao Wu wanted to recognize the third prince, they could only do so willingly, not because they were forced to do so.

Ji Yu went back to the kitchen again, and said to Tong Jingyuan: "Brother Jing Yuan, you can go to Mr. Zhuang to discuss with Mr. Wei, and see if you can talk to Mr. Lu and surrender the money. If they insist on refusing, then weSo I went to the magistrate to sue, so what if Scholar Mei’s uncle is in charge? When I beat the gongs and drums, everyone in Weizhou will definitely make a fuss. What kind of virtue is Scholar Mei? Then I will see how the Mei family behaves.Mr. Zhuang is a scholar who dare not do such a thing, I am not afraid."

Tong Jingyuan nodded: "Alright then! I'll go to Zhuang Family again."

At noon, the An family brothers finally came out from Dongkua courtyard.

If they don't come out again, Mother An might go crazy.

An Si wanted to appease Mother An, but Ji Yu couldn't find a chance to discuss Miss Zhuang's affairs with him if he wanted to.

It was not until the evening when the husband and wife were lying on the bed that Ji Yu told An Si about Miss Zhuang.

An Si was also very angry after hearing this: "There are such shameless people?"

Get up and put on clothes: "Brother Yu, I'm going to visit Zhuang Family."

Ji Yu was taken aback: "Can we go out?"

This question caused An Si to put on his clothes and paused, bowed his head in silence for a long time, and then said: "Brother Yu, Xiao Wu and I are going to the frontier..."

Ji Yu nodded and said, "I know."

An Si looked up at him, quite surprised: "You...don't object?"

Ji Yu smiled and said: "I have no objection, I will support whatever Fourth Brother wants to do."

"Brother Yu..." An Si's tense face suddenly changed into a smile.

The boulder that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He has been worried about what to do if he is going to fight and Brother Yu won't let him go.

Unexpectedly, Brother Yu was so reasonable.

"Brother Yu, you really..."

But before he finished speaking, Ji Yu said again: "Fourth brother, if you go to the frontier to fight, I will go with you."

Seeing the helplessness on the fourth brother's face, Ji Yu quickly explained: "Fourth brother, I'm not making trouble for no reason. I'm here to help. Although I don't have the skills of you and Xiao Wu, I can't fight the enemy, but I can make suggestions, I willImprove weapons. Good weapons can get twice the result with half the effort."

An Si naturally knew how powerful Ji Yu was, but he still shook his head and refused: "Brother Yu, don't say that the battlefield is extremely dangerous. Just say you are a brother, and the army is full of men, how can this be done?"

Ji Yu also knew that this would not work, his previous plan was to follow him from afar, go to the frontier, and then rent a house in a residential area outside the military camp, and whenever the fourth brother was free, they would meet up...

But it's different now, isn't there a third prince now?

He was still hesitating before, how the gunpowder, explosives, artillery, and pistols he made could be used in the army, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.

Now that you have the third prince, what are you afraid of?Since the third prince is in charge of the battle, he must be thirsty for powerful weapons.

"Fourth brother, isn't the third prince also a husband? I will follow him as an assistant or something. No one will gossip now, right?"

He doesn't plan to tell the fourth brother about his gunpowder and explosives yet.

The artillery has not yet succeeded, so said at this time, if the test fails, wouldn't it make the fourth brother happy?

Seeing his eyes full of anticipation and seriousness on his face.

An Si frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask the Third Prince tomorrow."

Ji Yu was overjoyed, hugged An Si's face and kissed him hard, then said with a smile: "Fourth Brother is so kind, thank you, Fourth Brother."

An Si's heart trembled and his mind fluttered after being kissed by him. If it weren't for the fact that he still had business to do at this time, he might not be able to bear it anymore.

"Brother Yu..." An Si suppressed his desire, stood up and continued to put on his clothes: "Let's go to Mr. Zhuang's house first."

When they left the house, sure enough, the guards did not stop them.

It seems that the fourth brother agreed to go to the border, and the third prince loosened his guard.

The Zhuang Family was not far away, and the couple walked quickly all the way without riding a horse.

Going to someone's house so late, thought Mr. Zhuang had already rested.

But not only did Mr. Zhuang not rest, Master Wei Tong Jingyuan was also there.

When Mr. and Mrs. An Si entered, the room was talking with lights on at night, and the atmosphere was heavy.

Seeing them coming, especially seeing Ji Yu, Mr. Zhuang was so ashamed that he turned his eyes away, ashamed to look at him.

An Si saluted and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Mr. Wei shook his head and said, "My big brother-in-law is very afraid of guilt..."

An Si sneered: "I'm afraid it's not the fear of guilt, but the fear of offending others?"

Master Wei was speechless and kept silent.

The matter couldn't be more obvious, An Si cupped his hands and said: "Sir, Mr. Wei, the students must find a way to solve Miss Zhuang's matter, so I will leave first."

After speaking, he pulled Ji Yu and left.

When they left, Tong Jingyuan followed suit.

The three left Zhuang Family and walked slowly in the alley, talking while walking.

"I just heard from Mr. Zhuang that Miss Zhuang is sick with anger."

"Brother Jingyuan, have you seen Miss Zhuang?"

"I can't see, I'm a foreigner, how can I get into Miss Zhuang's boudoir?"

They were talking when they suddenly heard footsteps behind them.

The footsteps were hurried and flustered, An Si turned around and shielded Ji Yu behind him, and was about to scold who it was, when he saw the man shouting in a low voice: "Brother Yu..."

Miss Zhuang?Ji Yu hurried over and hugged her.

Miss Zhuang fell into his arms, panting, and said weakly: "Brother Yu, I can be considered to have escaped..."

Seeing her so weak, Ji Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly carried her on his back, and they hurried back to An Family.

Just now I couldn't see clearly outside, but now I'm inside, by the light of the candles, I can see that Miss Zhuang's eyes are sunken, her face is haggard, and she is panting when she speaks.

"I want to run away, but my father won't let me. I'm afraid that the Mei family will spread rumors and make troubles. I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined and I won't have the face to see people in the future... Hehe... being charged as Kefu by the Mei family, what reputation do I have now??”

An Si said with a cold face: "Miss Zhuang, don't worry, I will find someone to help you now."

Tong Jingyuan also said: "I'd better go to Mr.'s house to keep an eye on, lest Mr. know you're gone and panic and make a bigger commotion."

After they left, Ji Yu moved a stool and sat down in front of the bed, took Miss Zhuang's hand and said, "I've asked the kitchen to cook something, you can eat something first."
