The rich man forced the marriage
Du Zihang hurriedly said: "Uncle, just tell me about it quickly!" ”
Tang Yingjie said a little embarrassed: "This matter has been too long, I have forgotten it, I only remember that in that tomb, there was a particularly rich landlord buried." I've forgotten the rest, so I'll tell you about it! ”
Du Zihang said: "It's past three o'clock now, my grandma must still be sleeping, let's wake her up now, she will be careful, after all, my grandma is in her eighties, if she knows that something happened to Tianchen, she will definitely be anxious." ”
Grandma looked at the watch on the wall, and then said to Tang Yingjie: "Come with me to the old lady's room, and I will go and say it myself." ”
Tang Yingjie said: "Master, my mother is eighty-seven years old, I'm afraid of ......."
Grandma said, "Don't worry! I'll keep it a secret from her. Tang Yingjie nodded, and took his grandmother cautiously to the old lady's house.
Tang Yingjie walked into the house, looked at the old lady on the bed and whispered, "Mother, mother-"
The old lady opened her eyes, and Tang Yingjie said: "Mother, I'm San'er, mother, I have something to do with you, wake up." The old lady was still in good health, and when she opened her eyes, she turned on the lamp on the bedside. The old lady looked at Tang Yingjie and then looked at the grandmother on the side, and finally looked at the watch on the wall.
The old lady asked, "Yingjie, what are you doing coming to me so late?" Something is wrong. ”
Grandma said with a smile on her face: "Auntie, it's okay, I came to you so late, your son still doesn't agree, it's my strong request, don't worry, auntie." ”
The old lady was very nice, smiled at the grandmother, and said, "Come on, son, sit here." Just ask if there is anything, and the aunt will tell you if she knows. ”
Grandma said, "Auntie, it's so late, and I'm still bothering you, I'm really upset." ”
Tang Yingjie sat on the chair on the side and looked at his grandmother and the old lady.
Grandma said: "Auntie, I am Liujia Village, I am a goddess, this afternoon, the people of your village found my house, saying that his child went to play in Otsuka, and something happened, and I came to solve the matter for him, but we ran into trouble." I wanted to ask someone about the situation on the old mound's side, but the young people didn't know at all. So I'm going to ask you. His kid was pretty sick, so I came so late. What kind of person is buried over there in the big mound, can you tell me? ”
The old lady sat up and leaned against the wall, and the grandmother hurriedly put a cushion behind the old lady. The old lady smiled at her grandmother.
The old lady said: "That mound belongs to a former landlord, and that landlord seems to be called Lu Xingzhi. At that time, my grandfather was still a long-term worker in their family, but after the landlord died, their family completely collapsed. This Lu Xingzhi seems to have descendants, but he moved away later, but he will come to the grave every year during the Qingming Festival. Grandma nodded, and the old lady began to tell Grandma about the landlord's house.
This matter has to start from the Guangxu period, when there was a big landowner in the town, and his name was Lu Xingzhi. At the beginning, his family's business was doing very well, and he also had a very large yard in the town.
Lu Xingzhi is a well-known old pervert. When he was fifty years old, he had already married Mrs. Sanfang, the eldest lady's name was Zhang Yongge, she was Lu Xingzhi's original wife, she was very honest and honest, and she rarely asked about family affairs, but later because the eldest lady couldn't give birth to children, so Lu Xingzhi found a second room, named Wang Yuzhen, Wang Yuzhen is a snarky person, very bad to people, she especially likes to compete with the eldest lady Zhang Yongge, usually the two of them quarrel a lot, since the second lady Wang Yuzhen gave birth to a daughter, Lu Xingzhi found a third lady, The third lady's name is Yu Wenqiu, a woman who lives by singing small songs, and Lu Xingzhi, who was in her thirties, fell in love with Yu Wenqiu who sang small songs on the street at a glance.
At the beginning, Lu Xingzhi spent more than 100 taels of silver to marry Wenqiu, because Yu Wenqiu often sang small songs outside, so he had a very good way to please men, which made Lu Xingzhi particularly fond of it at that time, that is, Yu Wenqiu completely captured Lu Xingzhi's heart. Since then, Lu Xingzhi has not wanted to marry Mrs. Sifang, until he met Yu Yajun when he was in his fifties.
Yu Yajun's father is also a businessman, Yu Yajun has also lived in the compound since she was a child, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is very beautiful.
Yu Yajun is a particularly introverted person, she has always stayed in the compound, she rarely goes out, Yu Yajun and her mother died when she was ten years old, Yu Yajun's father found another woman, this woman is usually very good to Yajun, the relationship between the two of them is still good, Yu Yajun will always talk to this woman when she is fine.
This lasted until Yu Yajun was eighteen years old, and Yu Yajun became more and more beautiful, which made many matchmakers see it, and they came to Yu Yajun to talk about family affairs in three days. Yu Yajun's father refused at that time. It wasn't until his business began to slump that he remembered to use Yu Yajun to climb a family business. But in business, there is no boy of the right age at all, and Yu Yajun's father has been looking for a long time but has not found it, he doesn't want Yu Yajun to be a little wife for others, so he slowly delays until his business completely fails.
One day Lu Xingzhi came to Yu Yajun's house to collect debts, at that time Yu Yajun's father owed Lu Xingzhi a lot of money, Yu Yajun's father really had no money to repay, Lu Xingzhi wanted Yu Yajun's father to sell the mansion to him, at this time Yu Yajun had something to find his father, so she walked out of the room.
The young and beautiful Yu Yajun appeared in front of Lu Xingzhi, and Lu Xingzhi fell in love with Yu Yajun at a glance. Lu Xingzhi found a step that time, and gave Yu Yajun's father a few days of grace, and he returned to his mansion.
When he got home, he saw Yu Wenqiu, who was already in his thirties, with wrinkles on his face, although he was still quite charming, but compared with the young and innocent Yu Yajun, Yu Wenqiu was much worse.
Lu Xingzhi began to think of trying to get Yu Yajun, he first found a matchmaker to go to Yu Yajun's father to propose, but Yu Yajun's father rejected him. That time, when he heard the matchmaker say that Yu Yajun's father disagreed, the angry Lu Xingzhi was anxious at that time, and he came to Yu Yajun's house with a few family members.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Xingzhi said to Yu Yajun's father: "How are you going to pay back the money you owe me?" Will you give me your mansion and all your possessions, or will you marry your daughter to me, you will choose for yourself? ”
Yu Yajun's father said in embarrassment: "Master Lu, my little girl is only eighteen years old, how can I marry you?" ”
"Then you can use your family property to pay off your debts!" As he spoke, he put a contract on the table and said to Yu Yajun's father, "Come, press a handprint!" ”
Yu Yajun's father hurriedly said to Lu Xingzhi: "Master Lu, I beg you, you can help me!" Let me hold off for a while, and I will definitely return the money to you with interest. ”
Lu Xingzhi said: "No need, I don't have the patience to wait." Come on, hold him down for me. As he spoke, he ran up a few family members and held down Yu Yajun's father.
