40. Stick to beat mandarin ducks
CHAPTER 40
The eldest lady came back with her young lady, and there was nothing in her hand.
The eldest mother's face is very ugly, it seems that she has been scolded, the third uncle is an excellent person, it is impossible not to even give a bucket of rice, but his mother-in-law is very fierce.
Feng didn't ask the eldest lady what was going on, so he simply cleaned up and said to Zhang Yuan: "Dad, I'll go back to my mother's house, and I'll start a gang when I come back." β
Zhang Yuan was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not good to always trouble my in-laws." β
Feng Shi folded a bag of rice into his cuffs, and said: "If you want him half a bag of rice, it's not for his life, what's wrong, I'm his daughter, I'm a shameless person, I can bear to scold me a few words." β
She knew that her real father was a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
Feng Shi comforted again: "Dad, you don't have to be embarrassed, no one will have a down-and-out time, when Yulin has gained fame, you just wait for him to be filial to your old man!" β

Huangfu.
A young scholar was so angry that his muscles were exposed, and he looked at his father, as if he had no intention of compromise.
This person is Huang Meng's son, Huang Yuan.
is also the original fiancΓ© of the eldest mother Zhang Yurong.
"Dad, how can you do this!" Huang Yuan waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Dad, you educate your children to read to be grateful for their kindness, is what you did today a reward for your kindness?" You advocated the dissolution of the marriage contract so arbitrarily, have you ever considered it for Yurong? Where does this place the child? Is it unkindness or repaying virtue with resentment? β
Huang Meng was ashamed, and when these words came out of his son's mouth, they were even more heart-wrenching.
Huang Yuan slowed down his tone again and said: "Dad, you don't know, Yurong and I are in love, and we have already promised each other for life, Dad, what you did today is not a stick to beat the mandarin ducks?" Yuan'er is now studying so hard in the cold window, and there is a thought in his heart that one day he will be able to marry Yurong and enter the door. If a child breaks the marriage contract because he has become a human being, how is this different from what the ruler of the court has done for a long time? β
In Huang Yuan's eyes, the eldest lady Zhang Yurong is different from other women, gentle and independent, not sad and pitiful, he likes such an independent woman.
"Rebel!" With a shout, a slightly wealthy woman came out of the room and scolded, "Can't you understand your father's good intentions? Now Guangling County is the Tang family's one-handed cover, if you marry the girl from the Zhang family, next year's examination, what future can you have? β
"Without Yurong, what is the use of the child's future?" Huang Yuan said resolutely.
When the woman heard this, her face became even more angry, and she said, "I think you have been bewitched by that splashing girl!" β
Huang Yuan retorted: "If I was confused, was my father also confused when he insisted on marrying his mother?" β
Huang Meng was lifted that year, and later became Huiyuan, and he had a great future, so he still took Huang Yuan's mother's mother.
The woman had nothing to say, in her eyes, at this moment, her son's future was important, and what kind of love would be considered there.
In order to break her son's thoughts, she said sharply: "You better break your thoughts earlier, in this life, you have nothing to do with the girl of the Zhang family, if you want to blame them, they offended people who shouldn't be offended...... My mother has already found a good family affair for you, the eldest daughter of Zhou County's order in Linxian County, has a good character, and is right with you, so I will do the marriage on the next day! β
Huang Yuan clenched his fists, he was angry in his heart, but he was helpless to be opposite his mother, and there was nowhere to vent, he said word by word: "I, Huang Yuan, will not marry Yurong in this life!" β
After that, he flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave home angrily.
"Stop him!" The woman commanded sharply.
The two officials immediately stopped Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan couldn't leave home, so he turned around and roared at Huang Meng: "Dad! You have something to say! β
I saw Huang Meng pin his face to the side, although he was ashamed, but he didn't say a word.
Obviously, he also supported his wife's approach, and he finally took this step, and he couldn't turn back.
The child is young and reckless, but the father cannot help but think about his future.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Feng family.
Feng secretly slipped into her mother's house through the back door, for fear of being seen by others, and she didn't want to implicate her mother's family.
She trotted all the way into the old lady's room.
As soon as Feng's wife saw Feng's, she knew that her daughter had come to beg for rice again without asking, and the father sitting next to her surprisingly did not scold Feng this time, which surprised her.
It's just that Daddy and Lady's face looks particularly haggard this time.
In fact, the old couple also understands that their daughter is strong when she is young, and if she has no choice, she will not go back to her parents' house again and again to ask for money.
A woman's family, old and young, and being bullied by the Tang family, what can be done?
Feng's old lady asked her subordinates to resist a bag of rice, and then went back to the inner room to take out a small lotus bag and handed it to Feng's hands.
The old lady sighed and said, "Ah Tang, my father and mother also know that you are in a bad situation...... But don't come back in the future. β
Feng Shi was surprised, if her father said this, she would not be surprised, but how could the old lady love her only daughter since she was a child...... Say something like that?
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"The most profitable shop in the east of the county was bullied by the Tang family, and it couldn't buy the goods, so it had already ......collapsed," the old lady said in a low voice.
Feng Shi lowered his head, he didn't know what to say, the money in his hand was heavy, hot, and the last thing he wanted to happen still happened, these brutes of the Tang family!
She naturally understands that dozens of people in the Feng family, large and small, point to a few shops to eat, and now that the most profitable shop has fallen, I am afraid that life will be tight in the future.
It was she who involved her mother's family.
With her strength, she wanted to put down the ten taels of silver in her hand, but she couldn't, the parents-in-law and two daughters of the family all pointed to her for dinner.
She lowered her head and said, "Mother, I know, Ah Tang will not step into the Feng family again in the future, you two take care, don't worry too much about your daughter......"
Feng held back the tears in his eyes to prevent them from coming out, picked up the rice bag, and turned around to leave.
"Ah Tang, wait...... Today, the people of the Tang family came to say that if you are willing to reconcile with the Zhang family, they will let you go......" The old lady behind her persuaded him.
"Mother, don't say it!" Feng interrupted, "When the Zhang family was in the scenery, Dagang never thought about taking a concubine, when I gave birth to my eldest mother, I heard that he scratched his thigh outside the room, I had a fever at night, and he carried me to the doctor in the middle of the night...... Da Gang has never been sorry for me, how can I, Feng Tang, do something sorry for him? β
"Ah Tang doesn't know if he can come back to honor his father and mother in this life, but if one day this child in Yulin will glorify his ancestors, he will not forget his family."
Feng Shi left his mother's house, wiped a handful of tears, and walked away without looking back.

On the North-South Grand Canal, on a big boat, Tang Xiaoshi and Tang Dong'er stood on the bow of the boat blowing the wind, one of them looked like a scholar and a scholar.
Tang Xiaoshi, who was an agent in her previous life, naturally had the skills of makeup and disguise, so no one could see their identities along the way, and everyone just thought that the son of this family was so short?
The business of the Dark Incense Pavilion was handed over to Hua Wu, and the teaching of the academy was handed over to Mr. Han Ke, this old man was too enthusiastic about the class now, and he said that the students in the academy were the smartest students he had ever seen.
As for the workshop kiln, it was guarded by Han Shi Niang and Uncle Fu, so no one wanted to break in, not to mention that Chu Ming had already installed a lot of capable subordinates around the academy.
So this time in Yangzhou, Tang Xiaoshi has no worries, she has been here for a year, and she should go out for a walk.
Since there were only two of them, they didn't bring much with them.
I heard my uncle say that my grandmother had difficulty moving, so Xiao Shi personally built a wheelchair so that the elderly could come out to breathe in their free time.
Grandpa likes to drink the most, and drinking a little wine in moderation is also good for the body, so Xiaoshi also brought his own grape wine.
My aunt was originally a beautiful girl, and she suffered with the Zhang family, Tang Xiaoshi brought her a few sets of exquisite clothes, this is the latest style of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, I believe my aunt will like it.
As for my cousin's aunt, I heard that she is already a big girl, and there are a lot of jewelry necklaces in the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, and Tang Xiaoshi carefully selected several things to pack and bring.
I heard that there is also a greedy girl, not afraid, Tang Xiaoshi is ready to make pastries for her on the spot.
Of course, most importantly, they also brought silver.
"Dong'er, where did you say Chu Ming's splash?" Tang Xiaoshi asked.
"The prince came out five days earlier than us, and this time it is estimated that he has arrived in Yangzhou."
Tang Xiaoshi pouted, this guy is too good at tricking.
