Chapter 178: Ashamed, Marquis Jia En comes to sell his Daughter [Part 2]
Prince Zhongshun was not someone who could be offended.
Not only the Rongguo Mansion but also the Niu Family, with the support of the Empress Dowager. They have to be careful not to bump into Prince Zhongshun if they see him around!
If he followed Sun Shaozu to collect money from the residence of Prince Zhongshun, wouldn't he be finished?!
Jia She thought of this, and he didn't dare to agree to the request of the ”boorish fellow.” He hurriedly shook him off and screamed like he was fighting for his life, "Don't be reckless, don't do anything wrong. Let's take a long view first!"
After shouting ”take a long view” twice, Sun Shaozu still seemed determined to pull him to collect the debts. Thus, he quickly changed his mind and said, "Forget about me borrowing money from you."
"Why, you don't want to borrow silver anymore?"
Sun Shaozu then stopped, frowned, and said, "Just by going to Prince ZHongshun’s residence, there will be 5000 silver taels in the account. This is a good deal..."
"What a good deal?!"
Jia She swore at him, "If you want to die, go by yourself. Don't take me with you!"
With that, he rushed out angrily.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he suddenly stood still, turned his head, looked suspiciously at Sun Shaozu, and said, "Dalang, are you frightening me with Prince Zhongshun?"
This straw bag was not entirely stupid!
Sun Shaozu knew more about Prince Zhongshun’s temper than he did. How would he dare collect debts from him?
Besides, Prince Zhongshun was naturally his backer, which was more useful than holding tens of thousands of silver taels.
For example, Jia She came to "borrow" silver under the name of Rongguo Mansion. Even if Sun Shaozu had been unwilling in the past, he was afraid that he would need to give him some silver to send him away.
But now he has the confidence to be extremely stingy!
Of course, if it were Jia Zheng who came here, then the situation would be different. It was because he had a daughter who was now an Imperial Concubine in favor.
"What are you talking about, Uncle?!"
Sun Shaozu stared and said wrongly, "Why don't we go to Prince Zhongshun's Residence now? Come on, get me a horse..."
"Hmph!"
Before anyone outside agreed, Jia She gave a cold groan and left the living room.
"Well..."
Jia She hesitated a little but thought about the unrivaled little widow, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your sister will be 16 years old after the New Year. She has a good look and is the most clever and sensible. If I entrust her to someone else, I can’t bear it. But our family has been friends for generations, and I know everything about you..."
Although Sun Shaozu had long guessed that he was trying to be a matchmaker, he never expected that this guy would marry his daughter!
Apart from others, Jia She's current wife, Xing, and Jia Zhen’s current wife in Ningguo Mansion, whom they had remarried, were all from small families. Because only such families were willing to give their daughters to be someone’s widow!
Now, Jia She was offering his daughter!
.
Although she was only a daughter of a concubine, she was also the daughter of the State Duke Mansion!
Sun Shaozu was stunned for a moment, but when he thought about it, he suddenly realized that Jia She was not going to marry his daughter away. It was clear that he was going to sell her!
So he carefully tried and asked, "Is it possible you want to give me your daughter?"
"Well..."
Jia She thrust out his belly and said in an official voice, "Although you are older than my daughter, you can be regarded as a good match. If you are willing to, it's not impossible."
Sun Shaozu's reputation in dealing with women could be said to be half as good as his. Why did he have the face to say the word "good match."
On the one hand, he said ”barely,” and on the other, he said that it was ”not impossible.” He was obviously waiting for the price!
This straw bag really wanted to sell his daughter away!
Sun Shaozu was extremely contemptuous, and then he flatly refused, "Uncle is kind to me, but I dare not delay my sister's good life!"
Are you kidding?
The reason for his remarrying plan was to ”palming off substitute for the real thing.” How could the daughter of the State Duke Mansion accept such absurd things?
If they were exposed, wouldn't it damage the reputation of the brothers?
"You!"
Jia She didn’t think that Sun Shaozu would reject his offer to marry his daughter to him without hesitation.
He immediately wanted to leave!
However, when he thought of the little widow of Chongwen Gate, the pretty appearance brought a little doubt in his hope, and his two legs were unable to move anymore.
