Chapter 215: Attacking the Heart
Chapter 215: Attacking the Heart
Chen Dalang opened his mouth to speak, with a bit of sternness. He felt that Mrs. Chen San had made the family lose their trust and had no place to stand.
Back then, the marriage was requested by Mrs. Chen Sanji.
There is no shortage of girls in the Chen family. There are three girls in the same year as Thirteen Niang, and they can become a bridge between the Chen and Wei clans, not necessarily Thirteen Niang.
However, Mrs. Chen San won that opportunity with the attitude and words of "I am widowed for the Chen family, I am very pitiful, and everything should be based on my daughter first".
The Wei family is a rare rich family in Qizhou, with a rigorous family style and a lot of competition for their children!
Now, Mrs. Chen San wants to break the contract.
The Chen family is suddenly rich, but they have no power, which can be regarded as being on the cusp. They can't do something that is spurned by the world.
Ling Qingyun sat aside, looked at Mrs. Chen San and Thirteen Niang, and then at Chen Dalang and Chen Qi Niang, but finally did not speak.
Ling Qingyun didn't speak, and the Jing family and Ling Qingcheng also remained silent and did not interfere in the Chen family's household affairs.
"No one has a long back eye, who knows what will happen in the future?" Mrs. Chen San cleared her throat and said to Chen Dalang, "Since the daughter of the long house can marry into the capital, why do we have to stick to Qizhou?" β
She thinks that if Chen Qiniang can marry in Beijing, then the other daughters of the Chen family can also marry in Beijing.
Mrs. Chen San unconsciously shifted the focus.
"Third wife, you said yours, it's okay to pull my sister-in-law!" Ling Qingyun suddenly interjected, "My sister-in-law was engaged to my eldest brother when she was young. It's not a break in the contract and another marriage, it's not the same thing. β
Everyone was stunned.
Mrs. Chen San was also dumbfounded by Ling Qingyun's words. In her eyes, a few wisps of anger flickered, and she looked at Ling Qingyun angrily.
Ling Qingyun looked innocent and innocent, looking at Mrs. Chen San quietly, her thick eyelashes flashed slightly, like two small fans, so cute, as if she didn't understand Mrs. Chen San's anger.
Chen Dalang was a little surprised, and at the same time, a smile passed between his eyebrows. He must have been thinking. Ling Qingyun, the sister-in-law, defends her sister-in-law like this. Qi Niang is doing well in the Ling family, he can rest assured.
"Third aunt, I brought someone here this time, if you don't go back, you have to go back." Chen Dalang was too lazy to speak. Lest you call your relatives to see the joke. Tough road. "You pack up, we'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. Chen San was not angry.
Thirteen Niang also clenched her fists tightly.
There was silence in the room for a moment, but Thirteen Niang suddenly walked in front of Chen Dalang. Her clear eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Chen Dalang and said, "Big brother, why don't you like me?" β
Chen Dalang was stunned, and he didn't know how she said this.
Obviously, it is an important matter, related to the reputation of the Chen family, but Thirteen Niang wants to use likes and dislikes to force words.
Chen Dalang was shocked that this kid was so stupid!
"Don't you want me to marry well?" Thirteen Niang cried and said. Her delicate cheeks were wet with tears, like pear blossoms with rain, and she was touching.
Her crystal full teardrops fell like beads with broken threads.
When Ling Qingyun saw Thirteen Niang like this, she thought that this girl was very good at scheming, and she also knew that taking advantage of her youth and beauty should not be underestimated.
Ling Qingyun glanced at Chen Dalang, only to see that Chen Dalang's thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was a little disgusted, it can be seen that this kind of drama is ineffective for Chen Dalang, and Chen Dalang is tired of watching it.
Ling Qingyun glanced at Chen Qiniang again, and Chen Qiniang was also a little disgusted.
However, Ling Qingyun's eldest brother and mother were stunned by Thirteen Niang's majestic and tearful posture, and at the same time they were a little vigilant.
"What are these words?" Ling Qingyun heard Chen Dalang be silent for a moment, and said to Thirteen Niang in displeasure, "You have been hired by the Wei family, the marriage is complete, and breaking the contract is to flout the law!" β
Chen Dalang was also indifferent to the tears of Thirteen Niang.
Thirteen Niang knew that this trick was not good, at least not for Chen Dalang, so she retreated to her mother's side.
"Leave the morning after tomorrow, third aunt." Chen Dalang repeatedly emphasized, "Pack up your things." β
Mrs. Chen San did not answer him, and left the main courtyard with anger and returned to their guest room.
Until dinner, Mrs. Chen San did not come.
Jing sent someone to deliver food to the backyard.
"My in-laws are crying." The maid secretly sued SΓΉ Jing.
Jing didn't say anything, let alone alarm Chen Qiniang and Chen Dalang, and let Mrs. Chen San cry.
Ling Qingyun and the others sat and chatted, chatting about a lot of things, and chatted until dinner time.
Everyone sat back down and had dinner.
After dinner, it was all dark.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the courtyard is immersed like water, the horns that hiss all night through the corner of the wall have disappeared, and the night scene in early winter is a bit depressed and lonely.
On the first day of October, there was no moonlight, and the light of the house reflected the soft orange light on the courtyard, and the trees in the courtyard were bathed in the light, stretching their branches and dancing like ghosts.
"When are you going to take office?" Chen Dalang couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard that Ling Qingcheng had been granted permission to go to Hangzhou to serve as the prefect, and he could choose a day to take office.
The Chen family lacks such reliable in-laws!
Ling Qingcheng went to Hangzhou to be the prefect, and he may return to Beijing as a high-ranking official in the future, and he is the Chen family's reliance.
Ling Qingyun looked at Chen Dalang's excitement, and she was also honored.
"It's not decided yet." Ling Qingcheng said, "This is up to my uncle's arrangement, he said he wanted me to leave as much as possible." However, Qi Niang she"
Chen Qiniang's child has been in the womb for more than eight months, and there is still more than half a month to come.
Ling Qingyun knew that her brother wanted to see the child born and then go to work. Being a father for the first time, this mood is exciting and warm.
"Don't worry about me, aren't my mother and Yun'er at home?" Chen Qiniang interrupted Ling Qingcheng's words with a smile, "Your future matters. β
Ling Qingyun felt that her sister-in-law's words were good, and the future of her eldest brother was indeed the most important. His future is related to the future prosperity of Chen Qiniang and her children, and the future of their family.
"Listen to your uncle's arrangement." Ling Qingyun heard her mother speak as well, and there was a bit of joy in her tone. "It's the same to go earlier and later. When you settle down, we and Qi Niang will go over. β
Everyone laughed.
Everyone's face is a little comfortable.
After a few moments, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Ling Qingyun was lying on the bed, thinking of the scene just now, and even the scene of Thirteen Niang crying, she didn't feel troubled, it was a little interesting.
Isn't that what life is all about?
She loves living days, living people.
The maid turned off the lights for her, but she still couldn't sleep. A man looked at the empty tent in amazement. Her lilac tent. There is a begonia pattern at the top, which seems to be a mysterious pattern in the gloom, with solemnity.
Ling Qingyun thought of Lu Luo, and then thought of Lu Xuan.
thought of Lu Xuan. I thought of the official family again.
"I don't know how many days the official family has left." Ling Qingyun thought to herself. "He has affection for my sister. I don't know in reincarnation. Can he still meet my sister? β
Thinking of this, she was a little stunned.
Ling Qingyun fell asleep in a daze.
I woke up early the next day and it started to rain.
It snowed last October. So when it comes to rainy days, there is the breath of winter, the cold air extends in from the window lattice, the brocade quilt is cold, sitting in front of the window to make up, Ling Qingyun feels cold hands and feet.
"Girl, warm your hands." The maid brought a cup of hot tea to Ling Qingyun.
Ling Qingyun smiled and held it in her palm.
Sure enough, there was a little warmth, along her palm, into her limbs, and there was some warmth on her body.
Before Ling Qingyun had finished combing her hair, Rui Niang came.
"Sister, sister!" Rui Niang rushed in, holding a silver-red burden in her hand, "It's cold today, sister!" β
Her hair was uncombed, and it was disheveled over her shoulders.
Rui Niang's hair has grown a lot, thick and black, up to the waist. While running, the green silk swayed like a tassel, wandering around her, making her add a bit of ink charm.
Rui Niang is fourteen years old.
Although the family lied that she was only eleven years old, she was fourteen years old in the end, and she began to develop, only a little shorter than Ling Qingyun, and some of her graceful and graceful appearance, like a magnolia blooming in early spring.
"Is Rui Niang afraid of the cold?" Ling Qingyun asked her with a smile. Because it was cold, Rui Niang was very excited, so Ling Qingyun didn't know.
Rui Niang shook her head, her hair full of green silk.
"To my sister!" Rui Niang handed the burden in her hand to Ling Qingyun, "I have already done it, Sister Tazhi said that she would wait until it was cold before she could give it to her sister!" β
Ling Qingyun took it with a smile and opened it to see that it was a gauntlet.
Snow-colored handguards, soft and warm. When the hand is placed inside, it seems to be placed in the quilt, comfortable and warm.
Ling Qingyun's heart was touched, and it was warm, making her eyes a little hot.
She thought that she used to make clothes, shoes and socks for Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan would be very happy every time she received it, and Ling Qingyun thought that Lu Xuan was coaxing her to be happy.
It turned out to be true.
Thinking of this, the water light in Ling Qingyun's eyes was suppressed, and the eyes that were filled with water vapor had a kind of rippling light, full of joy.
"Sister, do you like it?" Rui Niang was a little frightened when she saw that Ling Qingyun didn't speak for a long time, but was about to cry.
Ling Qingyun hugged her and said, "I like it very much!" Rui Niang, you are really the best person in the world to treat your sister! β
"Sister, I will always be the best for you!" Rui Niang raised her face and cautiously assured.
Ling Qingyun smiled.
"Come, my sister will comb your hair." Ling Qingyun said.
Ling Qingyun carefully helped Rui Niang comb two buns and insert two beaded flowers, then washed her face and rinsed her mouth, and the two sisters went to the main courtyard to eat.
It's still raining.
A slanting and dense drizzle intertwined, dancing lightly in the air.
Before they entered the courtyard gate, they saw Chen Qiniang and Jing Shi were about to go out, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in a hurry.
"Mother, sister-in-law." Ling Qingyun took Rui Niang, followed quickly, and asked her mother and sister-in-law, "What are you doing here?" β
"The third wife, they are going to leave by themselves, and the maid is stopping them." Jing said, and then didn't care about Sister Ling Qingyun, and kept saying to Chen Qiniang, "You slow down, you slow down!" Outside the city and your brother are here, and there are maids and servants, can they run away? β
Mrs. Chen San was planning to run.
She has a way to deal with the Chen family.
Now that they have run away, they will go back in the future, and the Chen family will still have to support them, otherwise the third wife will say that they will remarry.
Rather than remarrying, the Chen family naturally preferred her to be widowed.
Therefore, Chen Dalang forced them to go home, and Mrs. Chen San prepared to take the children to other places.
"You go slowly, the ground is slippery!" Jing said to Chen Qiniang, who was still walking like a fly in clogs.
Chen Qiniang was very anxious, but she also slowed down her pace as she said.
