Zhao Sanlang, who was the first to run to the main gate, pulled out the bolt of the door, pulled the two doors inward, and a person fell into the door, and he hurriedly helped the person up. The sharp-eyed Zhao Sanlang immediately discovered that the person covered in dust was none other than his cousin Zhao Yuanniang.

"Oops! Sister Yuanniang! Sister Yuanniang! What's wrong with you? Zhao Sanlang asked anxiously. It stands to reason that Zhao Yuanniang should be working in Lao Zhao's house at the moment, how could she come here alone?

Seeing that although Zhao Yuanniang had Zhao Sanlang by her side, she was weak and almost wanted to fall, so Zhao Sanniang hurriedly rushed forward to help her.

Taking a closer look, Zhao Sanniang suddenly found that there was a bruise on Zhao Yuanniang's neck, which was shocking. Needless to say, this must be the sin of the old Zhao family again, and an irrepressible anger filled his chest in an instant, Zhao Sanniang said loudly: "Did the old witch of the Qiao family do it?" Or did Zhao Chengqing's little slut do it? How can these two poisonous snakes do this to you? Sister Yuanniang, don't be afraid! Tell me, what's going on? I'm going to kill you today to get justice for you!" ”

Listening to Zhao Sanniang's sonorous and powerful assurance, Zhao Yuanniang's hands had already lost their brilliance, and at this time, there was finally a trace of clarity in her unfocused eyes, she looked up at the third uncle's family, and unexpectedly heard the third uncle who was as cowardly as her and said: "Yuanniang, if you have any grievances, just say!" The third uncle will definitely make the decision for you and seek justice for you! ”

If it is really a good thing done by your good mother and your good sister, can you really make decisions for Zhao Yuanniang and seek justice? Others believe it or not, Zhao Siniang doesn't know, anyway, she doesn't believe it.

It is true that seeing Zhao Yuanniang's situation so miserable, even Zhao Siniang, who was a little hard-hearted, was moved, and she immediately had the idea of saving Zhao Yuanniang, but she could only guarantee that Zhao Yuanniang would be free from the clutches of the old Zhao family. Make decisions for her and get justice for her? I'm afraid that at that time, the "filial piety" son Zhao Yongzhong will still habitually stand up to stop it. The countless lessons in the memory of the predecessor told Zhao Siniang that he couldn't do this "master" Zhao Yongzhong, and he couldn't get this "fair" Zhao Yongzhong back. Even if Zhao Siniang has the heart to stand up for Zhao Yuanniang, when the family is not strong, Zhao Siniang can't help.

Afraid that his father would talk too much and he wouldn't be able to get off the stage later, Zhao Siniang hurriedly interrupted: "Now is not the time to ask this." Let's help Sister Yuanniang to the back and let her lie down and rest for a while! Mother, hurry up and serve a bowl of hot soup to warm up Sister Yuanniang. ”

Everyone saw that Zhao Yuanniang's dirty face was haggard, her eyes were bloodshot, and her lips were even more skinned, faintly oozing blood, and they knew that she was indeed tired, and I was afraid that she might fall down at any time. So everyone immediately pressed the confusion in their hearts and stopped asking, planning to follow Zhao Siniang's suggestion and let Zhao Yuanniang go to rest first. And Jiang immediately turned around and went to the back kitchen to serve soup to Zhao Yuanniang, and the enthusiastic Yang went to fetch water to wash Zhao Yuanniang's face.

However, Zhao Yuanniang, who was very anxious, had no mind to rest at the moment, she knelt down heavily towards Zhao Yongzhong, crying and begging: "Please also ask the third uncle to hurry up and save my mother!" ”

Zhao Yongzhong was at a loss, and hurriedly asked Zhao Sanniang and the sisters to help Zhao Yuanniang up, but the stubborn Zhao Yuanniang refused to get up anything, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

"Sister Yuanniang, don't panic, sit down and speak slowly if you have something to say. You first tell us the ins and outs of the matter, so that we can have a number in our hearts. Only in this way can we come up with appropriate countermeasures and successfully rescue the eldest aunt. Zhao Siniang comforted.

Hearing Zhao Siniang's words, the panicked Zhao Yuanniang hit a spirit and woke up immediately. She understood that blindly crying would only make a mistake, so she immediately stopped crying, sat down with Zhao Siniang obediently, and told the truth that had been restored by combining the experiences of these days with the speculation of their mother and daughter.

It turned out that after promising a lot of benefits, the matchmaker Wang who came to say goodbye that day successfully persuaded the old Zhao family to promise to send Zhao Chengqing to be a concubine as soon as possible. When she was about to go out, Mrs. Wang accidentally saw Zhao Yuanniang who was holding a basin to wash clothes. Although Zhao Yuanniang has been suffering from Zhao Qiao's mother and daughter for many years, her face has long been yellow and thin, but the vicious Wang Matchmaker still saw at a glance that this girl has an excellent foundation, and after careful recuperation, she is definitely far better than Zhao Chengqing. So the matchmaker Wang, who found a good seedling, was busy asking Zhao Qiao's about Zhao Yuanniang. After some inquiry, Mrs. Wang understood that the old Zhao family did not want to see Zhao Yuanniang, and also knew that her grandfather's family had declined, and she could be regarded as a helpless orphan girl. Even the attitude of the old Zhao family towards the only bloodline of the big house is that as long as they can afford the dowry, it doesn't matter who they marry Zhao Yuanniang, but there is one thing that their family will never pay a penny for Zhao Yuanniang's dowry. When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately recorded Zhao Yuanniang in her own little black book for candidates.

To say that this Wang matchmaker is also quite famous in Jinghai County, but it is not a good name. I heard that as long as someone can afford to thank the matchmaker, she will dare to take any evil marriage. Two days ago, a family invited Mrs. Wang to the door and asked her to kiss her. Mrs. Wang also knew that it was very inappropriate for the Miao family to ask for a kiss, but when she saw the money, she heard that there was a large amount of money to thank the matchmaker, and immediately accepted it with a clear conscience.

As for the candidate for this kiss, Mrs. Wang immediately thought of Zhao Yuanniang, so she mentioned it to the Miao family. The Miao family thought to themselves that they were born in a good family and had a dignified appearance, which was very in line with the requirements of his family; Since he was a child, his mother's family is unscrupulous, so he is not afraid that someone will stand up for his daughter-in-law in case something happens in the future. This Zhao Yuanniang couldn't be more suitable, so she nodded and agreed.

So after Mrs. Wang left Miao's house, she immediately went to Lao Zhao's house and mentioned this family matter to Mr. Zhao. In the upper room, Old Man Zhao and they heard that if they responded to this family business, they would not only have a rich dowry, but also all kinds of unexpected benefits, who would care whether the son of the Miao family was round or flat, and immediately decided to come down. However, before the enlightened old man Zhao officially agreed, he still brought the Song family over, saying that he wanted to listen to her opinion as a mother. Then Old Man Zhao asked Mrs. Wang to introduce this family affair again in front of the Song family.

According to Mrs. Wang, this Miao family happens to be the in-laws of the Wen family, and the object of the kiss, Miao Youren, is the maiden brother of the Wen family's grandmother Miao. Although the Miao family is a businessman's family, they are determined to cultivate a scholar to glorify the lintel, so when the three generations of the little son of his family were less than seven years old, he spent a lot of money to invite a talented man to enlighten him. With the guidance of a famous teacher, coupled with Miao Gongzi's incomparably smart, he entered the most famous Jinghai Academy in Jinghai County when he was ten years old.

This Miao Gongzi is first-class regardless of his character, family background, or talent, and appearance, if he has any shortcomings, he can only say that the girl who is married to him has a short life, and she has not been able to marry into the Miao family to be a young grandmother to enjoy the happiness, so she will die with a whimper, and Miao Gongzi has gained a notoriety of being a wife, and has not been able to settle down again.

After the introduction of Mrs. Wang's clever mouth, of course the Song family is a thousand and ten thousand. Although the reputation of Ke's wife is not good, the Song family knows that it is all a false name, and Yuan Niang, such a good child, is not also burdened with Kefu's infamy?

It's just that although Song was extremely happy in his heart, out of the woman's reserve, it was not easy to agree to the family affair in one bite, so he said that he would think about it for a few days before replying. And although the old Zhao family was eager to get the benefits secretly promised by Mrs. Wang, they were also afraid that they would leave a bad reputation for persecuting their granddaughter in the future. So they pretended to persuade Mrs. Wang to wait a few days.

It is said that the Song family saw that their daughters were eighteen years old, but the old Zhao family had no intention of kissing her at all, and they were worrying day and night. At this moment, a great marriage suddenly fell from the sky, and she was naturally carried away by joy, and she didn't think about it in the upper room before. However, the foolish Song is not stupid, and after calming down, she immediately noticed that something was wrong.

She doesn't know what kind of people the Wen family and the Miao family are in the county, but the Miao family can marry their daughter to the Wen family to be the eldest and youngest grandmother, which shows that the two families are equal. Even if the Miao family is highly married, the Miao family will never be worse than the Wen family. Thinking about it this way, the conditions of Miao Gongzi are not worse than those of Wen Ergongzi, the most important thing is that Miao Gongzi is a wife, and Wen Ergongzi is a concubine, and the difference between being a wife and a concubine is gone. Can she think of this truth, and they can't think of a "shrewd and capable" mother-in-law? Why didn't they marry the Miao family directly, but let the sister-in-law go to the Wen family as a concubine?

Moreover, according to Mrs. Wang's matchmaker, the Miao family has a head and face in the county, so even if Miao Gongzi bears the name of his wife, he will not be able to say that he is still intimate? How could you go to the village to find an "old girl" with a bad reputation? The Song family, who has low self-esteem, never dares to overestimate herself, she thinks that this is extremely unreasonable, this Miao Gongzi is probably not as beautiful as described by Mrs. Wang.

Thinking of this, the Song family began to feel anxious, but she forced herself to calm down, thinking that she was afraid that she would not be able to get the truth from the old Zhao family, so she could only ask others.

In the past three years, the Song family has rarely dealt with the outside world under the pressure of the old Zhao family, and it is almost impossible to leave the door. However, with the departure of Sanfang, the old Zhao family transferred the work that was originally responsible for Sanfang to the Song mother and daughter, and in order to collect firewood, pick vegetables, and even go to the ground, the old Zhao family had to let the Song family go out. So yesterday, the Song family took the opportunity to go out to collect firewood and quietly went to Lizheng's house to ask the Liang family in the county town about this Miao Gongzi. rs
