Chapter 54: Begging for mercy

Father Luo Zhong is almost forty years old this year, and he stopped tossing two years ago and did not continue to take the exam. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHowever, he is also the kind of person who doesn't care about everything, and even has a hobby of drinking more than his grandfather Luo Yuan. Whenever I have a little money in hand, I will take it to the wine store and buy a gourd of good rice wine to satisfy my cravings.

Luo Kuan also has a teenage brother named Luo Guang, although he is young, he is now a child. My sister Luo Fen is fifteen years old, and Luo Fang is thirteen years old, and they have also read several enlightenment books, and they will be a good female celebrity.

Luo's family is in a village more than 20 miles in the southern suburbs of the capital, Luo Kuan is a well-known prodigy, and Mo Jin mainly likes other people, so he insists on choosing Luo Kuan.

To be honest, Oriental Painting Brocade is very disagreeable.

Such a family, compared with a real scholarly family, is not only a star and a half? It's just a world of difference! Looking for such a family, it is better to find a wealthy family, at least in this way, you don't have to worry that your husband will take a concubine and go to Fengyue place.

Men in the Zhuang family generally do not take concubines. Out of 10,000 people, there will be no more than three concubines. Even the small landlord who has a concubine is not very common. And the big landlord is no longer a farmer's family, it is a big family.

Dongfang Huajin has analyzed everything he can think of, all kinds of potential crises and troubles, carefully and carefully with the second sister.

However, Mo Jin didn't buy it.

"Third sister, I know that you look down on me and think that I am not worthy of the son of a scholarly family. It's just that it's useless what you say, I just like Luo Kuan. Moreover, he likes me too, and I will not marry anyone but him in this life! ”

Oriental Painting Brocade couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Is this iron-hearted? Moreover, doubting her sincerity?

Alas, since that's the case, forget it! Anyway, she tried her best, and if the second sister is unhappy in the future, she can't be blamed! However, I have to send someone to investigate, and if there is something more unbearable, I have to ask my father and mother and eldest sister to dissuade me.

Just do it, she immediately went to find two capable guards and investigated Luo Kuan's family well. The investigation report showed that except for a few people in the family, the rest of the people were of good character. It's just that most people are too high-minded and self-righteous.

Moreover, it is so poor!

The experience of two lives taught her that when looking for a husband, she can't find someone who is too poor. Because, the men in this world, from ancient times to the present, there are not a few people who are affectionate. Often, we can share weal and woe, but we can't share prosperity and prosperity.

Regarding this point, Oriental Painting Brocade is also very straightforward, and solemnly mentioned it to the second sister. Helpless, I was robbed by the second sister again.

The whole family, including Jinzhi and Yunjin, all tried hard to persuade them, but the second sister still couldn't listen to them, and insisted on marrying Luo Kuan, and the relationship with Dongfang Huajin was a little more tense.

Oriental painting brocade has no choice but to sigh deeply.

Intuition told her that the second sister would definitely regret it. However, now, she is also powerless. If she stops it again, I'm afraid that she, the third sister, will become a heinous sinner in the heart of the second sister.

What made her speechless the most was that Luo Kuan had already learned that she, as a younger sister, did not approve of the second sister marrying Luo Kuan. The one who told Luo Kuan the news turned out to be the second sister herself!

It is said that girls are outward, but it is really rare to be outward to this extent!

You must know that it didn't take long for the two to get married, and they have met five times. There is only one chance to meet alone, on the grange, in the peach orchard, no more than a quarter of an hour. In such a short time, Mo Jin told such a big secret to this person who should not be told.

Doesn't this mean that he sold his sister-in-law?

Dongfang Huajin sighed, threw this matter away, and didn't take it to heart again. It's rare to be confused, what you said, it should be her mood at the moment, right? Don't care too much about some things, otherwise, there will be no comfortable days every day.

The eldest sister's wedding date has been set, just three months later.

Oriental Painting Brocade ran outside for a month, and finally bought a grange, two shops, and a two-entry house. The Grange has 100 acres of fertile land, a fish pond, and a small hill. The shop, although it is not a prosperous shop, the location is not bad. The house is near the yamen where the future brother-in-law went on a mission, which is very convenient.

The grange, the house and the shop cost a total of 25,000 taels of silver for the Oriental Painting Brocade.

"Eldest sister, this is my dowry for you! I wish the eldest sister a harmonious life and a beautiful life after getting married, and a full house of children and grandchildren! The Oriental Painting Brocade solemnly handed over Tian Qi and the deed to the eldest sister, with a sweet smile in her eyes.

Jin Zhi explained with a smile on the side: "Eldest sister, quickly accept it, this shop and field property are worth 10,000 taels of silver!" With this grange and shop, after the eldest sister gets married, she can straighten her waist, and no one dares to look down on the eldest sister! ”

Brocade had tears in her eyes, she was very moved, and hurriedly pushed back: "No, I can't accept this, I'm the eldest sister, how can I ask you to give me a dowry?" ”

The third sister is married for the second time, and she has a little more dowry, so that she will not be bullied by her in-laws! For the third sister, no matter how much the dowry is, it is not too much. What's more, my father and mother don't have the ability to buy a rich dowry for the third sister! Poor third sister, in fact, has always had to rely on herself.

Dongfang Huajin sighed, but he was very relieved. The eldest sister is still very good to her, and she is sincere. Moreover, it didn't change his temperament because his father was a general of the third grade, and it became unbelievable.

"Eldest sister, you also know that the profits of glass factories and pharmaceutical factories are very good. You are my eldest sister, you are going to get married, I have the ability to buy you some dowry, I don't know how happy I am! You must accept it, this is a piece of my heart, my eldest sister of Oriental Painting Brocade is married, how can there be no rich dowry? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your future children, you don't have to let the clansmen of your future brother-in-law's family laugh at the children's shabby dowry! ”

As he spoke, he handed over a purse: "Here are three thousand taels of silver, which is a silver coin for you to press the box, don't shirk, if you don't accept it, your father and mother will be very guilty and worried." Daddy and mother have no money, you and my sisters, even if I give it to you instead of my father! ”

The brocade pushed again and again, but in the end there was no way, and he accepted it with a moved face. In my heart, I secretly swore that I would never betray the third sister in this life, and I would not block the third sister. If the third sister needs help, she will define it and do her best.

Dongfang Huajin gave his father and mother another 2,000 taels of silver, and asked them to buy daily necessities such as bedding for the brocade, and as for the furniture, Ye Mao gave it to him.

The ink brocade gave the brocade a set of red gold head jewelry.

Jin Zhi and Yun Jin also used the New Year's money they had accumulated to buy a red gold hairpin and a ruby bracelet for the eldest sister.

Relatives and friends who knew each other also sent makeup.

The dowry of the eldest sister's brocade, with the efforts of everyone, made up thirty-six lifts. And the concubines of the official eunuchs in the capital are married, and most of them are twenty-eight to fifty-eight.

The dowry of the brocade, although it is only medium in terms of the number of lifts. However, each one is a boutique and all are practical. Those people who are good friends are also real people, and they will not send those flashy ones.

Brocade happily got married, and returned to the door with a happy and shy smile on his face. In the past three days, Dongfang Huajin has also quietly sent people to investigate, Yue Qin and his family are indeed very good to the eldest sister.

In this way, she was relieved, and she was relieved of a worry.

Not to mention, the initial worries were not groundless.

At the beginning, if she and her eldest sister had not been married in their hometown, they would have been married by the emperor. Fortunately, the two got married, and the emperor gave up. The villain behind him had no choice but to accept his fate. And, even with it, I also let go of the ink brocade for the time being. I just want to find another opportunity to give Mo Jin a bad marriage.

Who knows, after Mo Jin came to the capital, he quickly found a family business for himself. In this way, the dirty thoughts of those villains can be regarded as in vain.

However, when I think about it, Oriental Painting Brocade and his family still have lingering palpitations. Because, the emperor's marriage partners are very unbearable. If you marry someone like that, you will be ruined for the rest of your life, not to mention, and it will affect your family.

It is precisely for this reason that the second sister Mo Jin insisted on marrying Luo Kuan, and Dongfang Huajin did not stop it strongly. She was worried that if she stopped it, maybe in a blink of an eye, the second sister would be forced to marry an even more unreliable family.

Besides, if you give up Luo Kuan, you can't guarantee that the person the second sister will find in the future will definitely be better than Luo Kuan? After all, Dongfang Huajin is not the father and mother of the second sister, and she interferes too much, if the second sister has a bad life in the future, the sisters may become enemies.

******

The eldest sister got married, and the second sister's marriage was also decided, just three months later. The family also began to prepare a dowry for her.

The dowry given by the people of the Luo family is much less than that given by the Yue family.

The dowry, naturally, should be reduced slightly.

Oriental Painting Brocade also bought a grange, a shop and a house for the second sister, the grange is fifty acres of fertile land, and there is also a pond; There is one, and it is also a medium shop; The house, which is also a second-entry house, is also a very good one, just near the Liubu Yamen.

The second brother-in-law, Luo Kuan, is now a small civil official from the eighth grade of the Ministry of Industry.

The dowry that Dongfang Huajin bought for the second sister is worth about 15,000 taels, and the expensive one is the house. The house alone accounted for eight thousand taels.

Mo Jin took the field and the house deed, listened to the Oriental Painting Brocade smiled faintly, and said the total price of the property, the shop and the house, and his face was very ugly.

It seems that in the heart of the third sister, she, the second sister, is far less important than the eldest sister! At this moment, she couldn't help but regret it very much, she didn't dare to be hot-headed and have a conflict with the third sister in the first place.

Now, it's too late to regret it!

Jin Zhi and Yun Jin pouted, expressing their dissatisfaction with the second sister's black face.

The third sister is not so good to the second sister. The second sister hurt her like that, she even bought so much dowry for the second sister, and the third sister's silver money was not blown by the wind. Use one tael, one tael less.

Dongfang Huajin smiled faintly, reached out and touched the heads of his younger brothers and sisters, and comforted them in silent language: Don't be angry, the third sister doesn't care.

It's not good to give it to the eldest sister, not to the second sister, right? In that way, not only will the second sister turn her face, but even her father and mother will be sad. In the future, the second sister will still have a dislike for the eldest sister, and the family will no longer be able to be as harmonious and beautiful as in the past.

Besides, the second sister got married, just once. Just give it once, and you're good to go.

Oriental painting brocade is very open.

pressed the box silver, and the Oriental Painting Brocade only gave the second sister a thousand taels.

Actually, that's pretty good. Listening to Song Ci, when Song Ningshuang got married, the silver in the box was only five hundred taels. All the dowries added up to be worth only about six thousand, and this is because the person she married was Song Yan's son. Otherwise, it will be about three thousand taels at most.

The dowry of Mojin is also thirty-six lifts.

On the day he returned to the door, Mo Jin's face was not very good-looking.

The Luo family is really not a good destination.

"Mother, on the second day of the wedding, my mother-in-law actually asked me to hand over the dowry to her for safekeeping. Xianggong even asked me to press the box of silver, saying that it was used to entertain the official! Mo Jin sat in front of Gan's side, his face full of grievances, and tears came out of his eyes.

Gan was so angry that he asked anxiously: "The people of the Luo family, did you beat you?" Did you promise?! "If you don't agree, will such a person beat her daughter?

At this moment, her heart felt like a needle prick.

Knowing this, she might as well marry her daughter to someone in the village next door to Cuizhuwan. Anyway, such a person won't bully his daughter!

Mo Jin shook his head: "I didn't agree, I just gave my husband fifty taels of silver to entertain, and I didn't promise to keep the dowry to my mother-in-law." The people of the Luo family didn't beat me either! ”

Ye Mao was furious: "You, you, tell me what is good about you?" At the beginning, you disliked Cong Jun as a martial artist and didn't want to marry. Later, for a scholar like Fang Bu, you dislike others to get married. You have made thousands of choices yourself, but you have found someone like Luo Kuan, and someone like the Luo family! ”

Fang Bu won't talk about it, but Cong Jun's young man is really good, what a pity! The Cong family is also a kind and simple family, which is much, much better than marrying the Luo family!

Thinking of Luo Kuan's face, Mo Jin's heart was also full of remorse.

Give him fifty taels, which is too little. When she opened her mouth, she asked for all her pressed box silver, as well as the set of red gold head jewelry that her eldest sister gave her.

However, he didn't give it to him, he didn't get angry, and he knew how to make her happy. Well, it didn't disappoint her too much.

When Oriental Painting Brocade learned about it, he couldn't help but sneer.

Hehe, it's really not greedy enough!

This is just getting married, and the appearance is too ugly!

However, looking at the appearance of the second sister, it seems that Luo Kuan is okay.

Dongfang Qi'an was so angry that his hands and feet trembled, but he had nothing to say.

What to say? are all married, and they are rounded, so they can't let women get married, right? Moreover, as far as Mo Jin is concerned, he must be unwilling to leave.

"Take a good look at the dowry and the silver in the box, don't give it out casually!" Gan had no choice but to tell Mo Jin like this.

Dongfang Huajin couldn't help but shake his head.

As long as Mo Jin still has a little fantasy about Luo Kuan, the silver of one thousand taels will be hollowed out a little bit one day sooner or later.

Dongfang Qi'an may have thought of this, so he scolded sharply: "At the very least, the grange, the shop and the house must be kept, and no matter what, they are not allowed to sell or fall into someone else's name!" It was given by your third sister, it is your last guarantee, and I hope that you can always stay, so that you can leave it to your daughter as a dowry in the future! ”

"Father, mother, why don't you go to the Luo family to administer justice for your daughter?" Mo Jin glanced at Oriental Painting Brocade, his face full of grievances.

Dongfang Qi'an became more and more unhappy: "Could it be that you want me to go to the door with your mother and beat Luo Kuan?!" Or are you going to reconcile with Luo Kuan? ”

Otherwise, only the daughter can stand up on her own. As long as she is not confused, with the current status of the Dongfang family, as long as the people of the Luo family are not stupid, they will not dare to bully Mo Jin too much. This time, the people of the Luo family dared to covet her dowry, it must have been because she cared too much about Luo Kuan, so they dared to treat her like that.

Oriental Painting Brocade secretly explained these truths to the sister-in-law, and asked the sister-in-law to persuade the ink brocade. Moreover, I sent two mothers-in-law who knew martial arts to Mo Jin and asked her to bring them back in case of accidents.

When Mo Jin was leaving, he deliberately glanced at his third sister several times, and the expression on his face eased a lot.

******

After the second sister got married, the wedding date of Oriental Painting Brocade was also set, just a year later. When Dongfang Huajin turns sixteen, Song Ci will marry her.

Time flies and passes like flowing water.

The eldest sister has been five months pregnant, but the second sister has not moved, and at this time, Dongfang Painting Brocade also encountered a very unhappy thing.

The personal girl Shan Xing next to her actually drugged her tea, but fortunately, she noticed that Shan Xing was wrong, so she was saved from poisoning.

Shan Xing knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy incessantly.

Dongfang Huajin smiled mockingly: "Spare you?" No way? You're going to poison me, and you want me to spare you? Do you think I'm a fool? If it were you, would you spare the other party? ”

Shan Xing kowtowed vigorously, and kept begging: "Girl, you have a lot of adults, just spare the slave and maid once!" The slave is forced to be helpless, if the slave and the maid don't do anything to you, the slave's family will die! ”
