Chapter 75 Confession
Dongfang Zhongzhong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his heart was full of blood and blood, and he was in a very bad mood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When An Shi saw it, he was immediately distressed, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't be angry, sir, wait a while, my fetus will be stable, if the master wants them, you can take them back!" ”
The expression and tone are full of care and love.
At this moment, Dongfang Zhongzhong's heart was warm, and he was very glad that he had a wife by his side who could rely on each other.
"What's going on? Those two practitioners, let them stay in the Grange until they are old! Unless their sons and daughters have that great creation, and can give them the honor of being the Lady of the Commandment, they will never want to take half a step out of the Grange! Speaking of the two concubines, Dongfang Zhongzhong's anger was hard to dissipate, and he only felt a chill.
"As for the rebels and the rebels,
He is really tired and tired of the two concubines and a few concubines who are about to stir up the wind and rain when they seize the opportunity! In particular, for that Liu, they all rose to disgust! If Liu hadn't given birth to a child, at this moment, he would definitely have to divorce her!
The Grange is a big grange, but compared to the county government, it must be much worse. Not to mention, these people were still in the Bofu in the capital before they came, and they lived in a palatial courtyard.
If it is a grange in the south of the Yangtze River, there may still be some highlights, but the grange in the northwest has not been carefully cared for, and many fields are still barren, and they are really desolate.
In the second house, the front yard is for the young master and the nurse to live, and the backyard is where the two aunts live with Oriental Narcissus and Oriental Peony. The yard is not large, and there are only about a dozen rooms in the front yard and the back yard. At first glance, it looks very shabby, about 20 years old.
"What a place? I'm unwilling, I want to go back to the city, I want to go back to the capital! When Dongfang Narcissus saw it, he was dumbfounded, shouting, full of resentment: "Daddy, what do you want to do?" I'm his own daughter, how could he do this to me?! It must have been instigated by An's practitioner, I want to go back to the capital, I want to sue my grandmother and let my grandmother take a break from that practitioner! ”
When she was in the capital, she was protected by her grandmother, and An's person didn't dare to show her the slightest face! Not only that, but even her father has to please her, as long as she is the slightest displeaser, her grandmother will definitely punish the person who practices it severely, and even her father has to kneel in the ancestral hall!
Dongfang Qin couldn't help frowning, the fourteen-year-old boy was a little displeased with his brainless sister: "What are you yelling about?" In today's situation, you can't even get out of this grange, why do you talk about going to the capital to complain? Even if you can get out, do you have enough entanglement? ”
Before he came, his father had their belongings confiscated and confiscated a handful of gold, silver, and jewelry. Nowadays, each of them has an ordinary hairpin on hand. From now on, there will be no moon silver, and my father will have people send it regularly for food and clothing.
Northwest to the capital, how far away? Don't have enough guards, don't have enough money, want to go back to the capital? Dream on!
For his biological mother and sister, Dongfang Qin was quite speechless, angry and hateful. If it weren't for the fact that they were too stupid, too greedy and insufficient, and were so ruthless to their wives, their soft-hearted fathers and madams would not have treated them harshly.
Alas, it was also his mistake, he should not have been moved by his aunt and narcissus in the first place, and let them poison his wife. At that time, he also had a greed in his heart, and he also thought that if his aunt and narcissus could successfully harm his wife, his biological mother might have a day to straighten out. In this way, he can get rid of the lowly status of the concubine and can raise his head and be a man!
I knew that today, he would have stopped his aunt and narcissus when he said anything.
I was thinking about it when I was interrupted by Narcissus's snarky voice.
"Brother, hurry up and find a way! Over the years since you came to the Northwest, your father has always been very good to you, if you kneel down and beg your father, he will definitely forgive us! My father is so stupid and soft-eared, as long as you kneel down and beg him, he will be the same as in the past, and he will not punish us severely
! ”
Dongfang Narcissus shook Dongfang Qin vigorously and cried.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
Dongfang Qin frowned slightly, only feeling that the girl in front of him didn't seem to be very compatible with the sister in his impression.
In the past, in his eyes, although Narcissus was very arrogant and unreasonable, he was innocent and beautiful like a flower. However, although the narcissus in front of him looked good, but between the eyebrows, he saw a kind of vitriolism that made him feel very unpleasant, and ruined the beauty of his face.
At this time, Dongfang Peony spoke: "Just you, do you still want to go back to the capital?" It's too beautiful to think about, daydreaming, right? On the issue of poisoning Madame, your mother and daughter are the main culprits, Brother Qin is an accomplice, and my aunt and I are at most accomplices, and it is not a particularly serious one. ”
"When I go back to the capital, my aunt and I don't dare to think about it, but the day when we are free to enter and leave the Grange, there should still be one. Brother Qin is a young master, as long as he is willing to repent, realize his mistakes, and believe that his father and mother will not keep him locked up here, he still has to go to the academy. As for your mother and daughter, in this life, it is estimated that you will die of old age here! ”
Oriental Narcissus's face changed greatly, he couldn't listen to it anymore, and jumped to his feet and scolded angrily: "You fart!" I'm a young lady from the Oriental family, I'm sixteen years old, and I should have been married a long time ago! In a few days, my father will let me out and let me get married! ”
Dongfang Peony sneered: "Poisoning the master's mother, poisoning the heirs of the Dongfang family, and being so blatant, I didn't let you die immediately, and Mrs. is a kind person!" I still want to get married, and I still dream of being an official's wife or a young grandmother, but it's really wishful thinking! ”
After Dongfang Peony finished speaking, she laughed loudly, every word, every word, was like a flying knife, piercing Dongfang Narcissus's heart without hesitation at all.
Dongfang Narcissus was suddenly shocked and angry, lost all his senses, and scolded: "Dongfang Peony, you practice people, you can't die well!" ”
Dongfang Peony didn't care, and leaned closer to her: "I'm very confident, you will definitely die in front of me, and even more miserable than me!" "The voice is not high, but it is also very clear, and most of the people present can hear it clearly.
Dongfang Narcissus cried angrily and threw herself into Aunt Liu's arms: "Auntie, Narcissus is so pitiful, even Dongfang Peony dares to bully her daughter!" ”
Aunt Liu was very distressed, she had long wanted to beat someone, but she couldn't help it anymore, and immediately spat Aunt Li, and when she said it, she didn't have a brain: "Li's practice, the good daughter you taught, is as cheap and shameless as you!" Today, I have to tear the mouths of your mother and daughter! ”
As he spoke, he pushed the narcissus into the maid's arms, took a few steps forward, raised his arm, and was about to slap the peony: "You are a trampleman, you have eaten the gall of a leopard!" ”
The next moment, something shocked Aunt Liu happened.
Aunt Li quickly reached out and crossed her arm to prevent her from fighting, and her words were very sharp: "Liu, you are the practitioner!" If it weren't for your lack of greed, if it weren't for your ruthlessness, if it weren't for your self-righteousness, how would Peony and I end up like this?! Do you still think that you are still the woman who has to be pampered by the master?! Coming here, between you and me, no one is more noble than anyone, and no one has face than anyone! In the future, don't put any favored concubines in front of me and Peony! ”
Aunt Liu was shocked, so angry that her forehead was beating and her breathing seemed to be a little difficult.
Dongfang Qin naturally couldn't watch his biological mother being bullied, so he frowned and shouted, "Aunt Li, you let go!" ”
He thinks so, no matter what, he is also the young master of the Dongfang family. Moreover, in the past ten years, Aunt Li has always been in awe of him. What he said, Aunt Li never dared to refute or disobey.
Who knows, the development of things surprised him.
"Whew! Do you still want to put the young master's money? Aunt Li looked at him funny, her eyes gradually became very sharp and cold, which made Dongfang Qin's heart tremble, and she had a feeling of being in the cold winter
When did Aunt Li, who has always been docile, have such palpitating eyes? It's terrible, the world is so impermanent!
Dongfang Qin couldn't help but stroke his forehead: If it goes on like this, how can you get along day and night?
No, his aunt and sister's temperament, he must take care of it. You can't be reborn, at least you have to be a little measured, a little conscience, and you can't be the person who does whatever it takes to achieve the goal!
As a scholar, Dongfang Qin thinks that his conscience has not been blackened.
******
It's bright, and it's another day off.
Oriental Painting Brocade took his younger brothers and sisters, as well as a pair of children, to go to the suburbs at the request of Zhuge Fenfen.
Song Ci waited at the gate of Huali Villa early.
Dongfang Huajin asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Song Ci: "I'll send you to the green!" His deep eyes were full of smiles.
Oriental Painting Brocade wanted to refuse, but Song Ruhui had already pounced happily; "Daddy, you're going with you too? Okay, great! Daddy's martial arts are so good, even if there are bandits on the road, don't worry! ”
The corners of Dongfang Huajin's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Song Ci's eyes were soaked with a smile, and his handsome and extraordinary face looked even more dazzling.
There are actually several families who go to Qingdao together.
Zhuge Fenfen's family, Qi Fuzi's family, An Hongyuan's family, Qu Yinyin's family, as well as the Jiahe County Lord brothers and sisters, Fang Jin and his parents and younger siblings, as well as several masters and their families who lived in the Hanlin Academy in Shuxiangju.
The crowd gathered at the door of the scholarly house.
When they saw Song Ci, everyone was not very surprised. Today, Song Ci is also a resident of Shuxiangju, and he bought a three-entry house at a high price. There are about 25 days in a month, and they live in the scholarly residence, and the rest of the days because they have important things to do, they live in the palace or other places.
The place where I set foot is the mountain villa under the name of Oriental Painting Brocade, starting from the scholarly residence, about ten miles away. In this mountain villa, the oriental painting brocade is named "Peach Blossom Spring". It covers a wide area, with 500 acres of fertile land, more than 100 acres of dry land, two low mountains totaling about 300 acres, and an artificial lake of about 10 acres.
Peach Blossom Spring, as the name suggests, is planted here with a large number of peach trees, and one of the two low mountains, one of which is basically planted with peach trees. In the corners and corners, some ancient tea trees found in the mountains were transplanted.
Behind the low mountain range is a verdant mountain, which is the property of the Pingwang Mansion. The fields next to the Peach Blossom Paradise are also in the Pingwang Mansion, and the area is much larger than the Peach Blossom Spring. Peach Blossom Spring, originally bought from a nobleman, cost 5,000 catties of grain.
At this price, it can be said that it is a good deal. At the beginning, that noble only offered 2,000 catties of grain, but Dongfang Huajin felt that it was too much, and took the initiative to give the other party 5,000 catties of grain. For this, Na Xungui was also grateful to her, and the family was very polite when they saw her in the future.
In the year of the drought, Dongfang Huajin and An Hongyuan exchanged grain for a lot of fields, mountains and forests, as well as some shops. However, the price is very fair and does not bury conscience.
Nowadays, the spring flowers are blooming, and it is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
I chose to come here mainly to enjoy the peach blossoms.
There are mountain streams, streams, clear springs, hot springs, and a small waterfall. All of this depends on the size behind the mountains. It's just that before Oriental Painting Brocade bought it, these were not available. After she bought it, she renovated it and introduced mountain springs and hot springs from deep in the mountains
In other words, in the year of the drought, the water in the deep mountains was still very abundant, and it never stopped. It's a pity that the former owner of the Peach Blossom Paradise won't take advantage of it, otherwise, the crops here won't die of drought and no grains. Not to mention keeping all the crops, it is still not a problem to keep more than ten acres. In this way, there is no need to sell the entire grange for thousands of catties of grain.
Walking into the Peach Blossom Spring, listening to the tinkling mountain spring, and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, An Hongyuan's heart couldn't help but feel very emotional. In addition to her and Huajin, as well as a few of their henchmen, as well as the former master, who would have thought that such a big place, such a good place, would only cost 5,000 catties of rice!
Now, such a grange will never be able to take it without 30,000 taels of silver. The current price of rice is only five copper plates per catty.
There is a three-entry blue brick house in Taohuayuan, which was built a year ago, and all kinds of equipment are very complete. In particular, the thatched hut and bathing room are clean and convenient, which makes the visitors very happy.
At home, there is no such good thatched hut and shower room.
Among the people who stayed in the Peach Blossom Garden, there was a middle-aged couple, both of whom were good cooks. The man's surname is Liu, and he is the head of the Peach Blossom Spring, and the Oriental painting brocade calls "Uncle Liu", and the female is called Aunt Liu.
When I came here, I sent someone to deliver a message as early as three days ago.
Aunt Liu led people to clean the villa inside and out. The bedding has also been washed and dried. But naturally there are not so many, and the people who came this time basically brought their own bedding.
This time, I met a long holiday, and I took five days off a quarter.
Oriental Painting Brocade plans to live here for three days and three nights, and everyone has agreed, except for three meals a day, the rest of the time, everyone is free to move.
There are two hot spring baths, one for men and one for women. The mountain of the Ping Wang's family, because this time the lord of Jiahe County and the prince of the peace king also came, so everyone can go hunting casually.
The green mountains and rivers here, the trees are verdant, and the air is exceptionally fresh.
Rao is Qu Yinyin, who has several big Zhuangzi by himself, can't help but praise it, clamoring to stay here for a few more days.
Early the next morning, everyone hunted, bathed in hot springs, fished, and handed over a few children to Zhao Qian and An Yi, and inspected the entire villa with his uncle.
Walking on the path in the field, Dongfang Huajin couldn't help but feel very emotional: "Little uncle, thanks to you, otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to have such a big and good grange!" ”
sighed again: "At the beginning, this grange should have been given to the little uncle, you have contributed the most and the most credit!" ”
An Hongyuan smiled and shook his head: "What are you talking about?" The biggest credit is you! What can I do without the money you gave me and such a good man? Nothing can be done! Besides, I also have thousands of acres of land under my name, a mountain forest, a big Hubo, and five very nice shops. In this way, I am satisfied and grateful! ”
At the beginning, if he didn't have the capital to paint brocade, he could have drummed up a hundred acres of land and a shop at most. Moreover, it will not be much better.
Lack of greed is very important!
Dongfang Huajin nodded: "It's good that my little uncle is happy!" ”
Both of them are contented and happy people, and there is no greed.
After looking at his own field, Dongfang Huajin plans to take the steward of Zhuangzi and his uncle to visit the nearby grange, which is all the grange purchased by the nobles, and there is only benefit and no harm in getting to know it. In the future, if something happens to Peach Blossom Spring, there will be more helpers.
If you don't know each other, how many people are willing to help when you encounter something?
After visiting the Grange next door to the left and right, Oriental Painting Brocade got into the carriage again, planning to visit the Grange a little farther away
。 Ten miles away, there is a grange, which is the grange of the queen's maiden family, Shangguan's family.
The old lady of Shangguan is now recuperating in the grange here.
Halfway down the road, the carriage of Oriental Painting was blocked from going way.
A vicious young woman was beating a child of five or six years old, and her mouth was not clean while beating: "I told you to be lazy, I told you to pretend to be sick!" A short-lived ghost who has suffered a thousand knives, there is almost no firewood for cooking at home, and you don't even go to the mountains to collect firewood! If you want to starve your mother, it's still light to beat you, and if you dare to be lazy, I'll chop you up and feed the wolf! ”
This is the entrance of a small mountain village, surrounded by many people watching the excitement.
There was an old man who couldn't see it, and said angrily: "The second one's family, Xiaoshi is only seven years old, and there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains this spring, you let him go up the mountain alone to collect firewood, and he won't be fed and clothed when he sees the sky." You are so vicious, beware that God can't see it, and the retribution will be on your own children! Poor thing, Xiao Shi's father died last year, and the child's hard life began! Seven-year-olds, adults don't have enough food and clothing, and they are not as tall and strong as five-year-olds! ”
Oh, it turned out that the vicious stepmother beat the child born to the original match!
Oriental Painting Brocade was furious, with a storm surging in his eyes, and all over his body, "Don't provoke me!" ”
She looked at Anji.
An Er understood, hurriedly took a few steps forward, reached out and grabbed the vicious woman's collar, picked her up, and threw her out vigorously.
Dongfang Huajin stood up and said loudly: "Excuse me, who wants to invite the village chief and the patriarch?" By the way, I am a splendid countryman, and I want to administer justice for this child! ”
"I'm willing to go!" As soon as he heard that it was the Splendid Countryman, several people immediately responded loudly, and a teenager simply didn't say a word and ran away quickly.
Little Stone's eyes suddenly sparkled.
The name of the Splendid Countryman, he had still heard of it, it was a kind and wise woman. It is said that the sweet potatoes and potato buds, as well as the water wheel, are all due to her. Since he had these three crops, he was able to eat two meals a day without getting hungry and having a stomachache in the middle of the night.
Splendid countryman, but a good person!
The village chief and the patriarch will soon come.
Seeing the Oriental Painting Brocade, the two were very respectful.
After a few words of greeting and understanding the situation of Xiaoshi, Dongfang Huajin asked Xiaoshi: "Are you willing to go with me?" Follow me, you don't have to sell yourself, just sign a ten-year living deed! ”
Xiaoshi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I am willing, thank you, madam!" ”
Even if he wants to sell himself, he is willing!
"Madam, I'm going to sell myself, and I don't want to have anything to do with my stepmother in the future! If she doesn't sell herself, she can still go to my trouble, and find trouble with her wife! Xiao Shi's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he quickly kowtowed again.
When the vicious stepmother heard that the other party was a splendid countryman, she was so frightened that her legs and feet were weak, and she didn't dare to say a word.
With the consent of the patriarch and the village chief, Dongfang Huajin immediately took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the carriage and wrote a knot, indicating that he had nothing to do with the wicked woman.
sold himself for silver, and the Oriental Painting Brocade gave ten taels.
The patriarch asked Xiaoshi to accept it himself: "You keep it for yourself, and when you grow up, remember to come back to see your grandfather." You must listen to the words of the splendid countryman, be a loyal person, and be motivated and learn well! ”
He pulled over the small stone again and whispered for a while
"Yes, Grandpa!" The little stone kowtowed to the village chief and the patriarch, got into the carriage, and reluctantly left.
The patriarch's grandfather was still good to him, if it weren't for the patriarch's grandfather's protection, who gave him a little food and clothing from time to time, he would have starved to death and froze to death.
Sitting in the carriage, the little stone was very restrained.
Dongfang Huajin soothed: "Relax, don't be afraid, as long as you don't make big mistakes, I won't do anything to you!" ”
Xiao Shi replied honestly: "I must not make a big mistake, I must listen to the words of the master, the patriarch grandfather told me, I must listen to the words of the master, and there can be no disobedience." The master will do whatever he wants, let me go east, never west! ”
said something as it should, and didn't feel the slightest bit inappropriate.
Dongfang Huajin was moved, but he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile: Little stone, do you know that you are so stupid and loyal, it is possible to lose your life?
In this way, she brought Xiaoshi back and asked him to follow Brother Hui and be a playmate and a long-term follower. In the future, Xiao Shi became Brother Hui's most powerful assistant, and saved Brother Hui's life several times.
******
It was a moonlit and starry night.
"Huajin, I miss you so much, I really want to eat and sleep with you every day. I want to wake up every morning and the first thing I see is you! Huajin, you just forgive me and give me another chance, okay? ”
Song Ci knelt on one knee, begging bitterly, he stared at her deeply, a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes, his eyes were blazing, as if a small flame had been ignited, and the heat made Dongfang Huajin's heart can't help but burn.
She looked back at him, their eyes intertwined, and there was ambiguous emotion in the air.
For a long time, his gaze fell on her lips, so delicate, so beautiful, just like beautiful petals!
He could imagine how sweet, fragrant, and intoxicating it would be to kiss it.
He stood up abruptly, his hands on her shoulders, and bowed his head to kiss her.
Dongfang Huajin's heart was beating very violently, and when he closed his eyes, a voice suddenly shouted in his heart: "No, you can't forgive him, you can't make love to him, he has had a lot of women!" ”
"If you go away, I won't accept you!" Oriental Painting Brocade suddenly pushed him away, quickly took a few steps back, and his attitude was very resolute.
Song Ci was stunned, not understanding why, she was like this!
Just now, she was obviously emotional! It can be seen that she actually has him in her heart. In that case, why can't you accept him?!
"Huajin, just forgive me, I know I was wrong!"
Song Cidi pleaded, and his heart was bitter.
Without her, he felt that life was very difficult. Now he has "misogyny" with other women, but whenever other women are close to him three steps, he will feel disgusted and feel uncomfortable.
His heart is full of oriental paintings.
With her, he felt like a spring breeze, felt comfortable, and relaxed.
"I've forgiven you, but I can't accept you!"
In the eyes of Oriental Painting Brocade, there were tears, and his face was full of desolation, sadness and loneliness.
