On this day, Changsheng was called by his father, saying that there was something important, and Changsheng saw that he was defending himself everywhere during this time, so he no longer cared about the past.

Zhou Houchun took a sip of tea and said sincerely: "Changsheng, my father knows that you have served nobles in the palace, and your heart is big and your vision is high. The rich will not marry us, and the poor father can't bear to let you suffer, so if you want to enjoy happiness, you can only be an aunt. ”

"To be an aunt?" Changsheng had a bad feeling in his heart, marrying a wife and hiring, although the dowry is rich, the dowry cannot be thin, the rich and noble people marry their daughters with red makeup, and there are many dowries upside down, and the concubines are said to buy, and they want to give the woman's family a rich purchase and don't want a dowry, and it is common for them to be beaten or scolded and resold if they don't like it, which is the life of a person?

Whoever can open the pot, who wants his daughter to be a concubine? Could it be that Zhou Houchun has one thing on his lips and one thing behind his back, greedy for other people's money and unwilling to sell himself as a concubine with a dowry?

Changsheng patiently continued to listen to him, but Zhou Houchun showed joy on his face: "We have the richest Dong Lao Cai in ten miles and eight townships, and he said that he would marry you as a concubine with the gift of a flat wife, and gave a rich dowry, and after entering the door, he was above the other aunts in the main room, and he would wear gold and silver for the rest of his life, and he would never suffer from poverty again!" “

Dong Cai? Is he the richest and most land-rich man in ten miles and eight townships, who has accepted a five-room aunt and is nearly forty years old? remembered that when she was still in the Yahe Inn in Beijing, she met Gong Yanchun, who also retired from the palace, because her father wanted to marry her to an old rich man who was over fifty years old, and she didn't go back, and later she made an idea for her to get rid of the matter.

Who knew that the same fate would soon fall on him, and he still filled the wife's room, but he wanted to be a concubine. It's really a big joke, I did everything possible to escape the opportunity to be the emperor's concubine, the prince's concubine and the courtier's concubine, but I had to go back to my hometown to be a concubine for an old landlord! Knowing this, what did I spend so much silver taels to come back for?

Changsheng stood up violently and pushed the teapot on the table to the ground, smashed it with a bang, she glared at Zhou Houchun coldly, and said word by word: "I thought that my father was starting to hurt me, and I was still excited for a long time, it turned out that I had eyes and eyes to see the wrong person!" Daddy even wants to sell his daughter to an old rich man as a concubine for a rich dowry! You are ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust! I've posted enough to my home over the years, and I won't be sorry for anyone even if I leave! I'll go now, and I'll do it myself! After eight years in the palace, I have passed many life and death barriers, and I don't believe that there is no place for me in the world! ”

Zhou Wang's and Zhou Houchun were so angry that they pointed at Changsheng "you, you, you" for a long time, but they couldn't say a word, and the family outside ran over when they heard the sound, only to see that their father and mother were so angry that they were half dead but they were holding Changsheng, Changsheng was furious, struggling to get out, and shouted vigorously: "Let go of me!" I'll go now! Never go back to this home again! I don't believe that there is no place for me in the world! ”

But Zhou Houchun has been doing rough work for many years, and her strength is great, how can she break free, and others also stepped forward to hold her, and persuaded one by one, "If you have something to say, say it well!" ”。

Changsheng was extremely disappointed and angry, although he couldn't break free for a while, but he had the determination to go, no one could persuade him, Yusheng cried "wow", and grabbed her arm: "Sister, it's the winter solstice!" ”

Changsheng couldn't bear her crying, so he calmed down a little and asked, "What about the winter solstice?" ”

Zhou Wangshi was so angry that he said: "Why did your temper become so hot after you entered the palace for eight years, and you didn't finish listening to me and your father finish talking like this?" Are we going to hurt you? Have you forgotten all about the winter solstice? Country customs, tomorrow your future brother-in-law and his father will come to our house to send charcoal! If you are gone, we will not lose the dead, but they will say that we have mistreated you. How about giving your sister a little face, don't let people think that our parents are inhumane, and they can't even tolerate their own daughter! ”

Changsheng saw that his mother, who really loved him, was angry, calmed down a little and stopped talking, and looked at Yusheng's begging face, thinking of her well-behaved and intimate and attachment to himself, he hesitated, maybe there was another hidden secret.

Zhou Wang said helplessly: "Three years ago, your father and the old man Li of Zaolin Village knew each other for some reason, and saw that his family was well-off and did his duty, and his only son Li Keqin was a loyal and diligent young man, and he was also decent, just one year older than Yusheng, and his family was also well-behaved and sensible in Yusheng, so he asked the media to say that it was settled, this is a good family business." Zaolin Village is six or seven miles away from our village, and the slightest wind and grass will pass it over, you are a big girl who lives alone away from home, can you not let us and Yusheng have no shame on their faces? ”

Changsheng was silent, the reputation of the villagers is the most important, if he leaves like this, Ming Yusheng's future father-in-law and son-in-law will come over, how bad the face is, maybe it will affect their family affairs, it seems that Yusheng is very satisfied with this family business, he can't hurt her, as for Ming, she can't manage so much.

She sat down with a long sigh of relief, and said helplessly: "Okay, I don't want to hurt Yusheng, I'll leave tomorrow, I'll leave early the morning after tomorrow, and if others ask, I'll go to live at the sister's house who left the palace together for a while." Please give my uncle a message and ask him to come by in the morning to take me to Yunzhou or Jinyang, if he doesn't allow me to go, I'll hire another car. ”

Yusheng was speechless when she heard this, she was not ashamed in front of her future father-in-law and husband, and secondly, in order to keep her sister, she reminded that tomorrow was the winter solstice. Soon, he brought a cup of steaming chrysanthemum tea and handed it to Changsheng, and the room was filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums.

After Changsheng returned home, the water in the cellar was boiling and it was really hard to swallow, and he was not used to drinking the bitter and heavy cheap tea foam at home, so he kept making tea with the sea buckthorn and sun-dried daisies that were special products of his hometown. Zhou Houchun glanced at it and asked in a low voice: "Chrysanthemum bitter, is there any wild honey picked by Jiadad from the mountain?" ”

Yusheng nodded, the room was silent, Changsheng's heart moved, and he took a sip, the taste of chrysanthemums and wild honey mixed together was sweet and fragrant, very palatable, and his mood suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly felt that he had overreacted just now.

In the palace for eight years, although she deliberately scandalized herself, because of her natural beauty, she always lived in the panic of being rewarded by her master and others as concubines or by the old emperor.

I don't know what to say for a while, why did the forbearance skills I practiced in the palace be completely wasted as soon as I went home? I didn't ask about the situation, I was furious, and I gambled again, and the whole room fell silent.

Zhou Wang looked at Changsheng and calmed down, his face seemed to be apologetic, he understood what she meant, waved his hand and motioned for everyone else to go out, leaving only the old couple and Changsheng, covered the door and said, "You kid, you are not young, why is your temper more hot than when you were a child?" Why don't you wait for me and your dad to finish talking before theorizing, right? ”

Changsheng said angrily: "What can you do when you're done? Aren't you going to sell me to a rich man as a little wife? ”
