Chapter 28: Virtuous Niece, Virtuous Nephew
Three thousand taels of silver, Master Song can afford to lose, not to be depressed to this point, what he can't afford is his daughter's youthful feelings and a long life in the future.
Song Duofu burst into tears and quietly wiped them away.
Mrs. Song wanted to speak and stopped, her face was hesitant, and she just looked at her husband.
"This matter, I told Xu Zhonglian many days ago, he prevaricated day by day, and finally said to me yesterday from the bottom of his heart, he said that he should devote himself to studying, and not participate in such philistine villains competing for profits, he can also say this!" These words were all spoken, he forgot, who funded him to study, who paid him the cost of the township exam, who gave him some mentors, poor Xiucai, poor Xiucai, he only passed the examination last year, he earned a few dollars over the years, but I was funded by me but said that I was a philistine, such a son-in-law, I have no eyes, I look at the wrong person, and the marriage contract of the Song and Xu families is stopped......"
Mrs. Song still stopped and cried: "Master, think about it carefully, we have spent so much money on him, money is a trivial matter, Duofu and he have been married for three years, all relatives and friends, who doesn't know that our Duofu is a girl who has set a family affair, and now he has taken the Xiucai exam, but the marriage contract is about to be withdrawn, and if you don't want a Xiucai son-in-law, what do others think? β
"So I happened to meet my niece in Chengjiang today, I didn't tell my niece about the mess in our family, it's not okay to cover the bad things. Master Song looked up at Li Fei.
Li Fei understood, held Song Duofu's trembling hand and said: "If my uncle is decided, I will go back and talk about this matter with the elders in the family, and when the time comes, it will spread among relatives and friends, and everyone knows in their hearts that this matter is wronged by Duofu." β
Three years ago, the Li family drank the Song family's Dingqin wine. I really want to withdraw this marriage, in order to find another husband for Song Duofu in the future, the reason for this withdrawal must also be explained to everyone, not that there is anything wrong with Song Duofu, this girl, but that the in-laws should have watched and helped each other, something happened to the Song family, this prospective son-in-law stood by and watched, and faintly revealed the vulgarity of disliking the businessman, such a marriage contract cannot continue.
Song Duofu lowered his head and sobbed, Master Song's own dejected appearance, but he still forced: "Duofu, you yourself are fighting for your own breath, and you will forget this person as much as possible." β
"I see. Song Duofu still hung his head and choked back. In the morning, she heard her father and Xu Zhonglian talk about family affairs, Xu Zhonglian refused to write a paper, and her mother quarreled with Xu Zhonglian's mother and sister-in-law.
The dishes on the table didn't move a few chopsticks, and Master Song took a sip of wine and said: "Okay, if Xu Zhonglian didn't write this lawsuit, I still have to sue Hu Qi and the others......"
Master Song got up and left the table, he also knew someone in Chengjiang, even if he didn't know him, he would always invite a person with merit to write a lawsuit.
"Uncle, I'll write you this lawsuit. Zhao Yanheng listened silently for a long time before expressing his opinion.
Li Fei glanced at him sharply, calling Master Song 'uncle' so familiarly, but he followed Li Fei's seniority.
Master Song was stunned for a moment, but he still hesitated.
Master Song entered the yamen, because a grass people, he wanted to kneel to complain to the official, and if the backbone of the person bent down, he had to be despised by others, especially the officials and grass people, so he said that he could not enter the yamen in life and could not enter hell in death.
The water here is very deep, Master Song is looking for a famous, reputable, and respected person in the local area to support, write a lawsuit, and help him to go to court against Bo, and the two sides are facing each other is money and power. Originally, Xu Zhonglian was a personal choice, he had a reputation for showing talent, and he also had classmates and fellow students in the same academic examination, how much he could create some momentum, Zhao Yanheng previously said that he was a businessman who sold medicinal materials, no matter how good his temperament was, he would not be able to eat it when he arrived at the Yamen.
"Uncle just follow me to the yamen. Zhao Yanheng chuckled lowly, and also stood up and said: "How to write this lawsuit, I really haven't written it." β
Such a proud thing is like entering a yamen is a noble foot on the cheap ground.
Mrs. Song looked at Li Fei with an inquiring gaze, Li Fei stroked her forehead and avoided Zhao Yanheng's gaze at her, but still nodded to Mrs. Song.
Master Song is a lively-minded person, and he immediately came back to his senses and said overjoyedly: "Then it will be troublesome to the virtuous nephew." β
Zhao Yanheng and Master Song went to the prefect's yamen, Mrs. Song finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the family members talked at the inn for a while, knowing that the Le family was in Chengjiang Mansion, as for what happened to the Li family in the prefect's back office, Li Fei said that half hidden and half hidden, only said that Miss Wang gave birth to a stillborn, took the concubine book and left the Qian family, and did confinement outside.
Mrs. Song couldn't help sighing, at this time Master Wang hurried to the inn to thank him, he also knew about his daughter's affairs, Zhao Yanheng contributed a lot, in addition to thanking Li Fei, he also thanked Zhao Yanheng in person, but Zhao Yanheng was not there, only thanked Li Fei in front of him. Master Wang took out a few pieces of tissue paper from his arms and presented them to Li Fei and said, "Miss Li, this is my recipe for boiling rose sauce and making zuΓ² rose cakes, you take it, and then copy one more to Zhao Gongzi." β
Li Fei was about to take a look, and when he heard that it was the Wang family's dim sum list, he hurriedly returned: "I can't help it, I can't help it, this is the guy who makes money from your family." β
Master Wang's eyes were full of tears, and he rubbed his hands and said: "To tell the truth, I am half of my body into the ground, my daughter is still young, I want to find a support for her for the rest of her life, but her affairs are known to Kunming and Chengjiang, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone, I plan to take my daughter away from here." This is the most valuable thing of my Wang family, you will accept it, and I can only repay you for your life-saving kindness. β
The Wang family relied on this dim sum to accumulate the family business, these pieces of paper are indeed the most valuable things of the Wang family, Li Fei silently folded and accepted, Master Wang bowed to Li Fei to the end, turned away, and a rickety figure slowly disappeared.
At the same time, Qian Zhifu received a lawsuit written by Zhao Yanheng, which was only three thousand taels of silver, and Qian Zhifu couldn't wait to take out three thousand taels to send away this big Buddha, of course, it was not possible, Qian Zhifu could only do his best to open it, and sent the official to get Hu Zhen and Qi Songnian, and the next morning, he came to invite Master Song to pass the ya.
Master Song and Mrs. Song went to the Yamen, and Zhao Yanheng lingered beside Li Fei.
For a day, Zhao Yanheng occasionally said a word and did one thing, which was to appear in Li Fei's sight, and always brush and save a sense of zΓ i, so that Li Fei couldn't turn a blind eye if he wanted to.
His parents are no longer around, and Song Duofu, who has been crying all the time, finally began to cry loudly, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, crying for half an hour, and he didn't mean to stop.
Li Fei sat quietly next to him, but Song Duofu cried happily.
Zhao Yanheng appeared at the door with a basket of raspberries in one hand and several white porcelain plates in the other, and said to Li Feiyang the things in Yang's hand: "I just bought it at the door of the inn, the guy has already washed it, do you want to eat it?"
Song Duofu looked into the basket with misty eyes crying, she cried for half an hour, crying so much that her forehead was sweaty, but she was a little thirsty.
Zhao Yanheng consciously entered the door and divided the raspberries into three plates, the size of a little finger, crystal red, as beautiful as a red agate. Li Fei came over and took a plate, and then took another plate for Song Duofu.
Song Duofu didn't answer, opened his eyes swollen into a line of crying, and said worriedly: "Fei Fei, you said that after my family's lawsuit is over, will my father insist on returning the family matter?"
Li Fei obviously took a breath before he said coldly: "If your family has another difficult matter, will Xu Zhonglian reach out to help?"
He ...... I ......" Song Duofu opened his mouth several times before he hesitated and said: "Is it that I am not good in many places, I know that I have bad things, and I have changed everything!"
"Song Duofu, if you marry him, your whole life and your family will be ruined in his hands. Li Fei scolded hurriedly.
Zhao Yanheng was really taken aback, his eyes turned on the two women, only to see Song Duofu's eyes gather tears again, Li Fei hurriedly finished speaking, and put the plate heavily in front of Song Duofu with a snap.
"Xu Zhonglian, don't want it if it's not good. Zhao Yanheng followed Li Feidao.
Song Duofu wiped his tears and said softly: "This time, he may be preparing for the autumn season...... Maybe I should listen to him, he's not so bad. β
Zhao Yanheng said casually: "Autumn is in August, and it's only March now." β
Song Duofu's eyes were red, and he said with tears: "But what should I do, I married him at the age of thirteen!"
Some people, some things, are not willing to change after getting used to them. Habits will allow women who have been taught from the beginning to the end to naturally breed the feelings of men and women. Song Duofu has known Xu Zhonglian for five years, and has been married to him for three years, if it weren't for the Song family's three thousand taels of silver that can't be recovered, the Song and Xu families are already talking about the marriage period, and they have retired Xu Zhonglian, the fiancΓ©, Song Duofu imagined, that is the feeling that the world suddenly becomes white, that kind of confused scene and panic of ignorance of the destination, so that Song Duofu is so afraid that he wants to catch Xu Zhonglian.
"That's enough, you've been married to him for three years, what's so good to him!" Li Fei walked over, grabbed Song Duofu's wrist and said, "There are some things I must say to you." A few years ago, he sued you, Shanlian Lake Pen, said that classmates will write, someone uses Shanlian Tang's lake pen, what is he doing with you, as your father said, he has never earned a few dollars in his life, and he is also poor Xiucai, classmates will write, he does not specialize in the article, staring at the good pen in the hands of others, and there is no money to show envy to you. You are also a stupid girl, and you really bought him such a pen with the New Year's money, five taels of silver, and also bought a water-sinking wood pen holder, and five taels, ten taels of silver, have you thought about it, ten taels of silver is enough for their family for half a year. If you smash him with money like this, of course he will say a few good things to you, but other than that, if you think about it carefully, he has treated you with a lot of sincerity and doesn't mix these monetary interests!"
