It's a pity that now that there is a war at the border, it takes at least four days to travel back and forth to Shui County, and he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity to visit his sweetheart in Shui County. The pen www.biquge.info had no choice but to send a subordinate to visit Dongfang Qi'an with gifts, and by the way, inquire about the current situation of Dongfang Painting Brocade to see if she needed help.

In addition, he also asked his subordinates to go to the county government and beat the county order.

As the saying goes, the county order that destroys the door is the prefect who breaks the house.

It's always good to be on guard. I'm afraid, when the Dongfang Huajin family didn't have time to ask for help, they fell into the way of the wicked. Let the Oriental Painting Brocade family register a number with the county order, if there is a case, then the dog county order also has some scruples, and does not dare to do anything that harms people's lives.

As long as people are alive, there is room for everything to turn around.

Not to mention, it's because he sent his men to beat the county order, otherwise, I don't know what kind of disaster will happen to the Dongfang Huajin family?

Because, after the fact, Ma Chenggong's good wife heard about this, and she, who had always been lonely and stingy, actually took 5,000 taels of silver to bribe the county order, hoping that the county order could find another excuse to put the Dongfang Huajin family in a prison cell for a few years, at least the family should be punished with a cane for 50 boards and locked up for a few months.

And yet, she was doing it to death!

The county commander did not dare to conceal it, so he sent his cronies to send the 5,000 taels of silver to the Hukouling military camp on the same day, and explained the cause of the incident 1510. By the way, he also said a lot of things that the Ma family did in the past, and ruthlessly hacked Ma Chenggong and Ma Zhitu.

Five thousand taels of silver is a great confusion for a county magistrate from a poor background. This is also the largest amount of money he has received since he was admitted to the Jinshi, whether it is sponsorship or bribery, this is definitely the biggest comparison. In the past few years, when he was in Shui County, the bribes given to him by the Ma family were only more than 2,000 taels in total. plus the rest of the people, the total did not exceed five thousand taels.

What do you say "100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing prefect in three years" (the original meaning of the Qing prefect here, in fact, does not refer to the prefect of the Qing Dynasty, the original meaning is: even if the incorruptible prefect is not corrupt and bends the law, after serving for three years, there are 100,000 taels of silver in the income of all bad rules and regulations. That's an exaggeration, and this should be a very small part of the story.

Anyway, he was timid, and he never dared to express or imply that the merchants or his subordinates would send money, and the money of ordinary people, so he would not dare to reach out casually. Even if someone takes the initiative to send it, he is very careful, and thinks that it will be very hot to receive the money, so he will consider refusing.

The Ma family's money, that is a special case.

This family is too strong in Shuixian, and the Ma family's family is a second-class family, although it is not comparable to a first-class family, but it is also not to be underestimated. The Ma family's own family, there are still people in the capital who are four-grade Beijing officials, and it is really not something that he can offend with a small county order.

There was no way, the gifts given by the Ma family in the past, whether it was money or something else, he had to accept them honestly. However, this time is different from the past, and the Ma family in Shui County has already fallen. To what extent? The people who fell to the Ma family did not dare to attack the Dongfang Huajin family in person, but had to use his hands and clever timing.

The people sent by Ye Tian and Song Ci also clearly told him that the Ma family's own family had given up the Ma family in Shui County. Ma Chenggong's identity as a hundred households is gone, and he can only be a small soldier in this life. The head of the Ma family in the northwest region, Ma Chenggong will not have any hope in his life!

The Ma family is in Cuiguo, in addition to the Central Plains branch, there are northwest branches, southeast branches, northeast branches, and southwest branches. It is said that the great-grandfather of the generation of Ma Chenggong of these four branches, and the great-grandfather of the generation of Ma Chenggong of the Central Plains branch, are the five brothers of the in-laws.

Back then, when the war was in chaos, the grandfather's father immediately decided to divide the family property left by his ancestors into five. The eldest son stayed in the ancestral house, and the other four younger sons-in-law, with their share of the family property, went to four different places and took root there. In this way, no matter how things change in the world, there will be at least one branch of the Ma family who will survive safely.

Although Ma Chenggong is a bastard, I have to say that the ancestor of the Ma family is a wise person. Among them, how many ups and downs the Ma family has experienced, and how they support each other, hundreds of years later, they are still standing, and they are still sitting in the position of a second-class family. It can be seen that this is a very remarkable family.

At the beginning, the head of the ancestral house in the northwest of the Ma family, after receiving the letters from Ye Tian, Song Ci and the marshal (the letter of the complaint, telling in detail how the Ma Chenggong family bullied the Dongfang Huajin family, as well as other people), immediately sent a competent person to investigate.

The results of the investigation showed that Ma Chenggong's family was indeed rich and unkind, unkind, and ungrateful. As a result, he angered Tang Ze, the general of Zhenguo, and Song Ci, the prince of Dingguo, as well as Ye Lang, a military advisor from a first-class family. These three people are very protective of the Oriental Painting Brocade family, saying that they want to include her and her family in their scope of protection.

In this way, the Ma family in the ancestral house in the northwest quickly made the decision to give up the Ma family in Shuixian County. Not only that, but he also reported to the ancestral house in the Central Plains for approval and expelled Ma Chenggong's family from the family tree.

Ma Chenggong's matter could have been without alarming the Central Plains Ancestral House, but before that, because Ma Chenggong wanted to compete for the position of a thousand households, the people of the Central Plains Ancestral Mansion used their connections to help Ma Chenggong. Therefore, Ma Chenggong, who is at the top of the Central Plains, can be regarded as registered.

Tang Ze received the 5,000 taels of silver, and immediately asked Ma Chenggong and Ma Zhitu to be called, scolded them sharply, and then escorted them to the newly opened labor camp to reclaim wasteland and build a reservoir.

This labor camp was proposed by Oriental Painting Brocade to open a camp for the soldiers who made mistakes in the barracks, as well as those with bad intentions and malicious intentions. These people, if they kill their heads, are too serious; If they are discharged from the army, it will be too cheap for these people; If they are sent to the battlefield, these people will certainly not be brave people, and they will play a very small role.

Tang Ze and the military advisor were worried about this matter, and when Dongfang Huajin proposed this, the two immediately agreed. The next day, he immediately sent people to find a suitable place and build a labor camp. This labor camp covers an area of more than 5,000 acres, with mountains, grasslands, and river valleys.

The labor camp is not very far from the barracks, and if you ride a horse, you can reach it in three hours. It was a terra nullius, and outside of Haicheng, it was a dangerous area, and no people wanted to go there to cultivate. Tang Ze, in the name of the marshal and the northwest military camp, bought it for only five hundred taels of silver.

Haicheng is the largest city in the northwest, that is, the capital city where Hukouling is located. Haicheng, about 300 miles away from Hukouling.

The father and son of the Ma family expressed their very depression and anger, especially Ma Chenggong, who gritted his teeth with hatred, and asked Tang Ze before leaving: "Marshal Qiqi, can the little one write a letter of resignation, ask the marshal to send someone to help send it to Shui County, and the little one will divorce the vicious and stupid woman!" ”

Tang Ze naturally responded with a full mouth.

That wicked woman, if she is successfully divorced by the horse, it will naturally be a great thing! In this way, the Oriental Painting Brocade family can also have fewer hidden dangers. Although the Ma family in Shui County has now been defeated, there are also three nails in the rotten ship. Ma Chenggong's family has been in Shuixian County for three generations, and there should be some connections and power in the shadows.

Ma Chenggong was escorted by Ma Zhitu by soldiers and came to the labor camp, and the two couldn't help but be completely dumbfounded! Where is this labor reform, this is simply to go to prison and do coolies! There is nothing to do as coolies, after all, the two of them are begging for a living in the military camp at the border pass, and they have not suffered without suffering. Doing farm work and digging reservoirs, no matter how hard and tiring this work is, you can grit your teeth and persevere.

However, there is no freedom at all, which is really unbearable!

A good rich son, a good hundred adults, now he has become a prisoner! You can't go out of the scope of the labor camp, and even if you walk around the labor camp, you have to do it within the specified time to let the wind out. Moreover, we have to act collectively, and there are people to supervise!

No! You can't be like this, God can't be so cruel to him!

Ma Chenggong glanced at his pale son, and in an instant, there seemed to be ten thousand fierce horses galloping in his heart. It was as if there was a tornado, raging and roaring in my heart!

Damn it! It's so hateful!

He has a good function today, and that stupid woman is indispensable! Divorce her, it's all light! In fact, he should keep her, lock her up in the family temple, and let her live that life is worse than death!

Originally, he had the hope that he could sit in the position of a thousand households! After all, the Ma family in the Central Plains has long used the relationship network in the capital to pave the way for him. If that poisonous woman hadn't abused Dongfang Xiaocao and hadn't forced others to jump over the wall, even if he couldn't be an adult of a thousand households, he would have been able to sit firmly in the position of a hundred households!

He has already registered in his ancestral house in the Central Plains, and his future naturally does not need to be said. Even if you don't become a thousand households this time, there are opportunities. And unlike now, the Ma family actually fell into such an unbearable situation in Shuixian, he would be expelled from the family tree, and he would be reduced to the point of going to work as a coolie on a labor camp!

What is the concept of going there to work as a coolie? It's just like the prisoners, there are people who are strictly controlled, and there is no freedom! All day long, from morning to dark, in addition to work, he was locked in a cell, and even when he went to the hut, someone was ding!

Food, as you can imagine, there will definitely be no meat to eat!

If you have three meals a day, you have to snicker if you can eat seven minutes full!

All of this was harmed by that idiot!

In the first place, why was he blind and married such a stupid and vicious woman?! Although he is not a good person, the purpose of letting his son marry Dongfang Xiaocao was to earn a good reputation for himself. However, that idiot dared to openly abuse his daughter-in-law, without hiding it at all!

People's mothers-in-law grind their daughters-in-law, at most, they set up rules and let their daughter-in-law be a little more popular. Stuff a few concubines for your son. He didn't give food, he hit the board at every turn, and he passed out, and he didn't let people visit, he didn't give him food, and he didn't give him water to drink.

How much hatred is this? It's not a father-killing enemy!

It's no wonder that Dongfang Xiaocao, who was originally honest and dutiful, is going to fight back! A good oriental grass was forced to become a fierce oriental painting brocade! Then, the Ma family was unlucky, and he Ma Chenggong and his son Ma Zhitu were also unlucky! In this life, it is unknown whether you can still get out of the labor camp!

Poisonous woman, fool, you are really capable!

Tang Ze was really enraged this time, and he ordered Ye Tian to take the letter of resignation, as well as his handwritten letter to the county order, tens of millions of water counties.

Song Ci hurriedly took the initiative to ask: "Marshal, please send your subordinates down!" ”

Tang Ze said suspiciously: "Why? Let Ye Tian go, that's because he has been there once, and he is more familiar with the situation in Shui County. You haven't even been to Shuixian, what are you fighting for? ”

Ye Tian also said: "That's right, you don't even know the road, why do you want to fight with me?" ”

Song Ci scratched his hair in embarrassment, and under the blazing gaze of the two, he finally explained embarrassedly: "I, I like Oriental Painting Brocade and want to marry her!" ”

"Oh, I see!" The two looked suddenly enlightened, looked at each other and smiled.

Tang Ze raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded very seriously: "Well, that girl who painted brocade is indeed a very good one." Faith, you have a good eye! Unfortunately, she was still too young, only twelve years old. You're eighteen years old, can you wait for her for three years? No, she said that if you are not eighteen years old, you will not get married! Wait five years? Can you wait, can the elders in your family wait? ”

Song Ci frowned slightly, he really hadn't thought about this question. However, it was not difficult for him: "What she meant was that if you give birth to a child before the age of eighteen, the quality of the child is not good." Moreover, there is a high chance of dystocia in women. Actually, I could have married her when she was 16 years old, and then have a round house when she turned 18! ”

Tang Ze's eyes lit up, nodded and smiled: "Well, this is also a way!" Anyway, you are in the northwest, and it is not so easy for your family to take care of you. ”

People in the northwest, whether it is a round house or not, the elders in the capital can't stare at it. Of course, if it is an ordinary woman, as long as she gets married, she will definitely be detained in the capital by the elders of her husband's family. However, is Oriental Painting Brocade an ordinary woman? The closed disciple of the old man of Tianji has such an uninhibited character, how could he be easily pinched by the people of the husband's family?

Yes, Tang Ze and the military advisor agreed that the master of the Oriental Painting Brocade must be the legendary old man of Tianji!

Ye Tian shook his head regretfully: "Alas, it's a pity, I decided too early!" Otherwise, such a good girl, I have to work hard to get it! ”

This is the truth in his heart, he does have a fancy for Oriental paintings, but unfortunately, this girl openly declared that she would never be a concubine! Moreover, no matter how good a man is, if she can't be "monogamous" and doesn't have a concubine to have sex or something, she will never marry. Say what "I would rather lack than abuse", I will never wronged myself in order to get married!

Song Ci glanced at him: "You are all married, so you don't think about it!" ”

His eyes were full of warnings and threats.

Ye Tian subconsciously touched his neck, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I won't fight with you!" ”

Hum! Sample, if I hadn't made a marriage, I would definitely have to fight with you! Such a good girl, how can she be willing if she doesn't work hard to fight for it? Alas, what a pity! I knew this was the case, and I didn't decide to be married when I was killed! His fiancée, compared with Oriental painting brocade, made him not interested in the slightest.

It's not that the fiancée is bad, but it's too "famous lady", like the ladies of other families, as if poured out of a mold. No aura, no charm, too rigid.

However, you can't be with Dongfang Huajin, and you can also find a woman who is similar to her! The woman in this world, similar to her, should still be found, right?

Moreover, he hasn't had time to sleep with the two girls who were stuffed to him by his grandmother, and everything may still be in time (in his heart, he actually didn't really give up Oriental Painting Brocade, he felt that it was unlikely that Song Ci would be with her. After all, Song Ci is a dignified prince of the Hou Mansion, how can the people of the Song family agree to this family business? From now on, he had to find a way to break off the engagement with his fiancée, whom he had only met once!

Originally, he was forced to marry her. It's a political marriage, and it's the uncle who wants to exchange him for benefits, as a pawn for the uncle to get promoted and make a fortune! This family affair is not "the words of parents" at all, and my father and mother were also resolutely opposed to it at the beginning. Moreover, when he was married, he and his father were not at home, which can be said to be a family affair that the uncle instigated his grandfather to set for him in private!

This family business, he can actually oppose it, and he can not admit it! In the past days, he had never seen Oriental painting brocade, and he didn't know that the women in this world could be so kind and noble, and they could be so smart and interesting! So, in the past days, he did not take a drastic way to fight for himself.

Originally. He thinks so, who is not to marry? If the two of them don't deal with each other very much, they will marry and hang it at home, and then accept two more beautiful concubines they like! Now, after a period of contact with Oriental Painting Brocade and influenced by her ideology, I know that my idea is very wrong! In that case, it will harm others and oneself, and even affect one's own children!

Song Ci got what he wanted, and with the marshal and military advisors who were personally selected by ten veterans, he happily embarked on the road to Shui County. Along the way, whenever he passed through town, he would stop to buy souvenirs and jewelry as gifts for Oriental Painter and her family.

On this day, the Oriental Painting Brocade was in the east of the village and "encountered" the Oriental Lilac. This time, it was not Oriental Lilac who came to stop Oriental Painting Brocade, but Oriental Painting Brocade specially came here to wait for her.

Grandparents live with the uncle's family, the uncle's family is not having a good time, and the grandparents' life will naturally not be very easy. Dongfang Qi'an wanted to take the second elder to live at home, but grandma felt guilty and did not agree. In order to make the life of grandparents a little better, Oriental Painting Brocade has to mention the sister of Oriental Pearl, thirteen-year-old Oriental Lilac.

Oriental Lilac is a kind-hearted person and the only good person in the big house. This cousin can also be regarded as a good bamboo shoot of "good bamboo shoots", in the past, the generous family bullied the people in the five rooms, and Oriental Lilac often tried to help the people in the five rooms. When the eldest sister and the second sister of Oriental Painting Brocade were sold, she tried to stop it, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.

For this cousin, the impression of Oriental Painting Brocade is still very good, and I am willing to help her, even if it is to repay her kindness to the fifth room in the past!

"The mountains will fall, the water will flow away, and everyone will run. On the road of life, only by relying on oneself will you rely on it forever! I hope you and your family will wake up and learn a lesson from the Ma family. In the future, no matter how you behave or do things, don't have a fluke mentality, and don't have the idea of getting something for nothing. For example, if you want to marry in the future, you must find a down-to-earth and reliable person, don't be as pretentious as your eldest sister, so ambitious, and bent on following a rich young master. ”

After a pause, Dongfang Huajin's voice became a little stern: "In particular, you must not have the idea of being a concubine for others, that is willing to degenerate, willing to be cheap, and there will definitely be no good end!" Moreover, they have to burden their own children, be inferior, be bullied and poisoned at will, but they don't even have the ability and qualifications to resist! ”

Dongfang Lilac nodded tearfully: "Xiaocao, thank you!" I will listen to you, I will never learn from the eldest sister, thank you for your concern! ”

Although the tone of Dongfang Huajin was very strict, Lilac could see that she really cared about her, loved her, and really thought about her.

"Don't think about it, we are cousins, and you have helped us a lot in the past. In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, especially if you are sold by your family to be a concubine and a slave, you can come to me, don't be afraid, and don't give in! You have to grasp your own life, and don't be swayed by other people! ”

Oriental Painting Brocade is very pleased, and sincerely wishes this cousin a happy and beautiful life. It's a pity that with such a family, Lilac wants to marry a good son from a good family in this life, I'm afraid she will have to go through some setbacks and hardships.

"Thank you, Xiaocao! I'm leaving, and I'll be scolded by my mother again if I'm late. Lilac hurriedly said goodbye, looking a little panicked.

Oriental Painting Brocade glanced at the yellow corner of the clothes behind the big tree on the left, and couldn't help but snort coldly, that person must be the Oriental Pearl! It seems that Lilac was oppressed enough by this eldest sister that even if she talked to her, she had to worry that Oriental Pearl would sue her.

Lilac is not happy with the eldest aunt, as if her love and distress are all given to the eldest daughter Oriental Pearl. The eccentricity is very powerful, as long as Oriental Pearl says that Lilac is not good in front of her, Lilac will definitely be beaten!

Alas, pitiful! This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other.
