Chapter 49: Choice

Dongfang Huajin said angrily: "Dad, uncle is your eldest brother, but Lilac is also your niece." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoYour eldest brother is not worthy of being a father at all, or even a human being! Tiger poison doesn't eat children, but the uncle and aunt want to sell the cloves to such an unbearable family, and they are not even as good as animals! ”

Lilac plucked up her courage, looked at Dongfang Qi'an, and interjected: "Fifth uncle, do you know where my father and my mother wanted to sell Sister Brocade to somewhere?" ”

Dongfang Qi'an was shocked when he heard her say this, and asked nervously: "Where are you going to sell it?" ”

For the eldest brother, he is more or less, and there is still a little bit of expectation and family affection. After all, before the eldest brother got married, it was not bad for his younger brother. When he was very young, he followed his brothers' butts every day, went down to the river to catch fish, went up to the trees to dig birds' eggs, and went up the mountains to pick wild fruits.

In the depths of memory, there are still many warm scenes.

I hope that the eldest brother will not let him be completely disappointed, and will not let the resentment in his heart not dissipate in this life. However, Lilac's next words instantly made his heart lake freeze in frost.

Lilac paused word by word, and her voice was extremely clear: "Originally, my father and mother planned to sell Sister Brocade to that filthy place, saying that she would be trampled by thousands of people. From this, you can get some more money; Second, it was also to avenge Xiaocao's falling out with the Ma family, causing them to lose a big backer and lose a lot of money! ”

Dongfang Qi'an was furious and sneered: "How can this be reasonable, it is simply inhumane, and there is no reason to talk about it!" At the beginning, I didn't settle accounts with them about the Ma family, it was already for the sake of brotherhood! Now, he dares to think crookedly again, does he really think that I am so easy to bully?! ”

This big brother seems to be completely unable to get along! Originally, he also wanted to persuade his wife and children to give his eldest brother a hundred taels of silver before leaving, to help his eldest brother's family live a better life. After all, it's been so long since what happened at the beginning. The eldest brother of another mother's compatriot said that even if it was to reassure his father and mother, he couldn't bear to stand by like this.

For the other brothers and sisters, whether they are close or near, he is also prepared to give one hundred taels of silver. Although, this time for a treat, neither sister came. However, he still planned not to care. He said to himself that his sisters were married far away, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, so it was understandable that he did not come. He left this money to his father and mother, so that he could give it to his sister when he came to visit him in the future.

If you go to the capital, maybe in ten or eight years, you won't be able to go back to Cuizhuwan. For my father, I must owe it, so I might as well help a few brothers and sisters. In this way, my father and mother should also have a happy life, and it can be regarded as a part of the affection as a brother.

However, after this incident, his mind changed at once.

Don't give, resolutely don't give!

If you want to give, you will also secretly give the three or two nephews and nieces who have good character, and nieces and nephews, twenty taels of silver per person. Reading to them, or marrying a wife, or buying a dowry, he can afford all the necessary expenses for the next five years.

In this way, it can be regarded as fulfilling his desire to take care of his relatives. In the future, my father's heart should also feel better. My father and mother are only in their fifties, but their bodies and bones have been getting better and better in the past two years, and it seems that it will not be difficult to live for another twenty years. In such a long time, with so many two or three sensible grandchildren with good prospects, my father's life will definitely be quite comfortable and happy.

As for the few brothers and sisters who are not four or six, he should treat them as strangers, and at most he will leave a little more money for his father and mother, or tell Tianhu's father, and when these people encounter difficulties in the future, give them a little money to help them tide over the difficulties.

At the thought of this, his excitement calmed down.

Don't be angry, don't be sad, everyone's path is to rely on themselves. Relatives are not determined by blood relations alone. Even if it is a blood relative, but if it is like the eldest brother, you can ignore it. Such a person is not worthy of being called a relative.

"Lilac, what are your plans for the future?" Dongfang Qi'an asked. For this niece, he has a good impression, knowing that her relationship with Huajin is okay. So, I had the idea of helping, hoping that she could have a good home.

Lilac's face was full of excitement and joy: "Fifth Uncle, if you can, please ask Fifth Uncle to make decisions for me and help me find a good person who is diligent and kind." I don't want to be sold, I don't want my life to be ruined like this, I've never done anything against my conscience in my life. Since I was a child, I have been diligent, not lazy or slippery, and I shouldn't end up miserable! Fifth uncle, please, please help me! Except for the fifth uncle, there is no one for the niece to beg, please have mercy on the fifth uncle! ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help crying bitterly, and his cry was very miserable and desperate.

Dongfang Qi'an couldn't help but caress his forehead, this woman who cries at every turn, he doesn't like it at all. What's the use of crying? Will crying solve the problem? If you cry, will you be able to win the sympathy of others?

Or his daughter is so strong, so bold, so positive. Back then, being sold to the Ma family and being treated like that can be said to be in a desperate situation. However, she was able to fight back and usher in such a happy day today!

Lilac's cry did not touch his heart.

To say pitiful, it is also his daughter who paints brocade pitifully!

The brocade is also pitiful, it was almost sold to such a place at the beginning, if it wasn't for the brocade painting, I don't know how miserable it would be now!

At the beginning, Lilac's father and sister-in-law wanted to sell brocade, and Lilac couldn't have known at all. However, she did not report to the people in the fifth room. I believe that at that time, the eldest brother's family definitely didn't look at her and didn't guard against her. If you want to give the first news to the people in the fifth room, there is no difficulty at all, even if it is not easy to get close to the people in the fifth room, you can quietly approach other people in the village who are close to the five rooms, or the people of the patriarch and the village chief's family.

However, she chose to sit on the sidelines.

Dongfang Qi'an thought of this, his heart was a little uncomfortable, and when he looked at Lilac's eyes, he felt a little less pity and more coldness.

Lilac, who has always been sensitive, felt it, and couldn't help galloping in her heart.

Fifth uncle, are you unwilling to help? Are you complaining about me, when Sister Brocade was sold, I didn't report it? I knew it was wrong, but at that time, I couldn't help it. My mom and dad and my eldest brother and sister-in-law all threatened me, saying that if I messed up the news, they would sell me!

Fifth uncle, I'm scared!

I have to say that I am weak at the moment, and I no longer have the slightest confidence. Before, she secretly thought that she revealed those news, which was a great contribution to the fifth uncle's family. She thought that she could win the gratitude and great reward of the fifth uncle's family with this credit.

However, at this moment, she suddenly had no confidence in her heart. Even, I also had a feeling of panic, for fear that the fifth uncle's family would not only not help her because of resentment, but would fall into the trap for her.

Lilac's body couldn't help but tremble a little.

Dongfang Huajin watched coldly, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Trembling, is this a sign of weakness?

Originally, she still had a good impression of Lilac, and she sincerely wanted to help Lilac. Before leaving, give her a hundred taels of silver, and introduce her to a nursing home in the Orchid Garden, or a guy in the shop.

You must know that whether it is the nursing home of Orchid Garden or the guys in the shop, they are all one in a hundred. The character is excellent, the body is healthy, the character is also good, and the people in the family are not the best. Although the conditions of the clove itself are good in these ten miles and eight towns, there is such a mother's family, and he knows dozens of words, so he is not a literate person. Under such conditions, if you can marry Lan Yuan's nurse and the guy in the shop, Lilac should wake up laughing when she dreams.

However, at this moment, Oriental Painting Brocade suddenly changed its mind.

No, Lilac is probably not as good as she imagined, she can't be too close to her, and she can't have too much trouble with the people in the orchid garden and the people in the shop! Otherwise, once she and her family go to the capital, this orchid garden and the shops in the city may be chaotic!

The bad bamboo shoots are good, and the good bamboo shoots should be most of them will also have the shadow of the bad bamboo. Dongfang Pengfei's daughter, no matter how good it is, it won't be much better. Moreover, there is such a mother's family, if it takes time, it is persecuted by various threats from the people of the mother's family, and one day, it may be taken to the ditch!

Oriental Painting Brocade will never kill people with a stick, but she will not relax her necessary precautions.

Today, Lilac's gaze is not as open and clear as in the past.

As the saying goes, the eyes are another window to the soul.

Seeing her like this, Oriental Painting Brocade didn't dare to trust her too much anymore.

"Daddy, it's better to leave this matter to your grandparents!" Oriental Painting Brocade opened his mouth to propose.

Dongfang Qi'an nodded: "It's so good, let your grandparents call the shots, this is what it should be." I'm just the fifth uncle, and I've cut off the relationship with your uncle's family, so I'm not qualified to take care of Lilac's marriage! ”

Lilac was so anxious: "Fifth uncle, don't ignore me, if you don't care about me, I won't have a way to live!" Grandparents, where can I control my father and eldest brother? ”

Dongfang Qi'an frowned slightly, and interrupted her unhappily: "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about?" Your grandparents, why can't they control them? Aren't there still clans? If your father and eldest brother dare not listen to your grandparents, you can ask the patriarch to call the shots and expel your father and eldest brother from the clan and Cuizhuwan! ”

Lilac pounced unwillingly, and was about to hug Dongfang Qi'an's leg, but Dongfang Huajin was quick and pulled his father back several steps.

Lilac jumped into the air, sat down on the ground, and looked at Dongfang Huajin fixedly: "Xiaocao, you can't ignore me, you can help me!" ”

Dongfang Huajin sighed, helped her up, and pressed her to the chair: "My father will go to the capital in three days to take up his post, which is time-limited, and if it is postponed, he will be dismissed at least and imprisoned." He really doesn't have time to help you arrange the marriage, and you have a father and a mother, and he doesn't have the qualifications to take care of your affairs! ”

After a pause, he said, "However, I will personally go to the old patriarch and the village chief and ask them to take more care of your marriage." If your father and eldest brother stop you and don't allow your grandparents to make decisions for you, the patriarch and the village chief will help. So, you don't have to worry. Grandparents will definitely find a diligent and responsible family for you, as long as you keep to yourself, you will definitely be able to live a small life without worrying about food and clothing in this life. ”

Forget it, I still don't care too much about her. This family, only when the descendants are prosperous, everyone helps each other, and supports each other, can they survive in the wind and rain. In this way, perhaps in more than 100 years, the Cuizhuwan Dongfang family can also become a family in the entire Yucheng area, and it has enough ability to protect the descendants of the Dongfang family, so that the world will not dare to be easily bullied.

Dongfang Huajin looked at his father and exchanged glances with him quickly, and Dongfang Qi'an nodded to her.

"Here are thirty taels of silver, which my father gave you makeup, and you took it to buy five acres of paddy fields for yourself. With these five acres of paddy fields, even if the family is separated in the future, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, you will not go hungry! ”

Oriental Painting Brocade handed over a money bag.

Dongfang Lilac took it happily, with a face full of gratitude: "Thank you, Uncle Five, thank you for painting!" ”

Medium paddy fields, six taels of silver per mu, thirty taels of silver, can indeed buy five acres. With these five acres of dowry fields, it is not difficult to find a good farmer's family.

Fifth Uncle and Xiaocao still care about her.

She is not a greedy person, and she is really grateful in her heart.

In the past, she was sorry for her fifth uncle's family, she was too selfish. Now, the fifth uncle's family can ignore the past suspicions like this, what else does she have to complain about?

In the future, she will definitely be a good person, and she will definitely not insult the reputation of the Cuizhuwan Oriental Family. Of course, try your best not to cause trouble to the fifth uncle's family. If you have the opportunity, you still have to repay one or two.

Seeing her like this, Dongfang Qi'an and Dongfang Huajin couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that this clove is still worth helping.

Oriental painting brocade picked up the teacup and took a small sip, and the movements were very elegant and leisurely.

Lilac raised her eyes and couldn't help but be stunned.

It's the first time she's seen that someone can look like an ink landscape painting just drinking a cup of tea.

It's hard to take your eyes off it.

Gan and the Oriental Painting Brocade sisters made up two silver hairpins, two silver bracelets, two pairs of silver earrings, two head flowers, a muslin cloth, a red brocade, and a gauze that could be used to make curtains. gave Oriental Lilac, as a makeup to her, worth about 20 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a dedication.

Ye Mao instructed the carpenter's workshop to build a marriage bed, two wooden basins, and a dressing table for Lilac. The standard is built according to the mid-range. All the things added up are worth about ten taels of silver.

Oriental Lilac is extremely grateful.

With this, she went to the embroidery shop to make a wedding dress by herself, and everything was complete. This kind of dowry, even if it is not the first one in this ten miles and eight towns, is very decent.

"Thank you, I will definitely be a good person in the future and live up to your expectations. I will definitely repay the opportunity in the future! I also wish Uncle Wu a bright future and all the best, and I wish all brothers and sisters happiness! ”

Regardless of the dissuasion, Lilac was deeply blessed and saluted the fifth uncle's family.

Dongfang Qi'an smiled with relief: "From today on, you go to live with your grandparents, don't go back to that home!" Wait a while, I'll let Ye Mao go to the old patriarch's house and say hello to the old patriarch! ”

This niece finally didn't disappoint him too much.

Know that you have to advance and retreat in moderation, and that's it!

That night, Dongfang Qi'an gathered the whole family to discuss the marriage of Dongfang Mojin: "This time, I will go first, and you will go to the capital after you settle the marriage of Mojin." ”

Mo Jin couldn't be shy, and said straight to the point: "Father, mother, I want to find a Jinshi who lives in the capital, I don't want to find it in my hometown!" ”

Dongfang Qi'an was very annoyed, and couldn't help but scold: "Don't be too ambitious, find someone to lift in Shui County, people can look up to you, you should be content!" Don't think that I have a little identity now, we have a little money in our family, and you are self-righteous! ”

This is the first time in his life that he has been angry with his daughter Mo Jin.

Mo Jin trembled with fright, but still refused to let go.

Dongfang Huajin sighed helplessly, so he had to persuade him: "Second sister, you are now sixteen years old, if you don't decide to marry before you go to the capital, you won't be counted as a very unreliable family." You have long been clear about this question, why are you so stubborn? In my opinion, whether it is a person or a military attachΓ©, before going to the capital, pay a careful visit and settle the marriage! ”

Mo Jin was silent for a long time, and then said unwillingly: "Okay, but I don't want Shui County, I want to find someone in Fucheng!" Third sister, you know a lot of people in Fucheng, just help the second sister take care of it! ”

Dongfang Huajin looked at his father: "Dad, what do you think?" I have heard of more than a dozen people who are famous and have no wives. Why don't I tell you about it? ”

"Okay, you can hear it." Dongfang Qi'an glared at Mo Jin, then suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and listened to the third daughter talk about the big families in Fucheng, as well as the teenagers or young people she had heard of or knew who had made a name for themselves.

Oriental Painting Brocade thought about it carefully and talked about it for about two hours.

Dongfang Qi'an took a fancy to a person, this person was called Fang Bu, who was twenty years old at the time. Handsome and talented, he was a man from three years ago. In other words, when Fang Bu was seventeen years old, he passed the exam. Moreover, the ranking is very pre-examined, and it seems that I took the fifth place.

Fang Bu got married when he was seventeen years old, and his wife died in childbirth, leaving behind a two-year-old daughter, Fang Yin. Fang Yin is well-behaved and sensible, with a gentle temperament, Fang Yin's maternal grandfather's house is an ordinary farming and reading family on the outskirts of Fucheng, with a very good reputation and a reasonable family.

Fang Bu's temperament is very good, and there are no excellent people among his parents and family. The most important thing is that Fang's mother and Oriental Painting Brocade are New Year's friends, and Fang Bu's two younger sisters have a very good relationship with Oriental Painting Brocade.

It can be said that this family is a family that knows the roots.

Dongfang Qi'an sincerely believes that Fang Bu is a very good choice for Mo Jin. First of all, Fang Bu has no son, Fang Yin is just a daughter, and she is still very young, and her temperament is also very good. Fang Yin's maternal grandfather family is also a reasonable family, and he will not deliberately teach Fang Yin crookedly in the future.

Besides, in a few months, Fang Bu will go to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival. Then, after Fang Bu and Mo Jin get married, they can take their wives and children to the capital. In this way, even if Fang Yin's maternal grandfather wants to teach crooked Fang Yin, there is no chance!

In this way, Fang Yin and Mojin should also be able to get along harmoniously, so as not to become a stumbling block on the road to Mojin's happiness. When Fang Yin grows up, give her a dowry, and marry people off happily. If you marry well, you can also become a help for Mojin's children in the future, and there is no big problem.

The most important thing is that Fang Bu is not a lustful person, his wife has been dead for so long, and he has not taken a concubine. beside him, there was a girl who served him in his daily life, and he did not spoil this girl, let alone let this girl give birth to children.

Moreover, this girl who has sex with her was only accepted a year after his wife's death. In other words, he is actually a dedicated man. Fengyue place, it is said that he has never been there. In other words, if it weren't for the physical needs, he might not even accept this roommate. He doesn't have any of the bad habits of literati and the common diseases of men, and he is very beautiful.

Such a man, even Dongfang Qi'an, a man, can't help but praise it.

Such a man, even the Oriental Painting Brocade, can't help but appreciate and admire.

If, if she hadn't met Song Ci, such a man, she would definitely try to catch it in her own hands.

Unexpectedly, it was such a person, and Mo Jin was disdainful.

"I don't want it, I don't promise it!" Mo Jin flatly refused, stood up suddenly, and glared at his father angrily: "Dad, you let me be a steproom, you can figure it out!" I won't agree to die, I'll be the first yellow flower girl, go to be a steproom, then it's better to let me die! ”

Dongfang Qi'an was so angry that his hands and feet trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
