10. Chapter 9 Persecution
Jiang Wei frowned in surprise and said, "How come?" ”
Huo Jiu is blind, if he wants to marry a wife, he is also a virtuous and gentle talented woman like the eldest sister who can be more eye-catching, right?
But her surprise and astonishment were only for a moment, looking at Jiang Yan with hazy teary eyes, her originally slightly tense body suddenly relaxed, and she smiled with a sigh of relief: "It's not the eldest sister." ”
She really didn't want a proud woman like Jiang Yan to live with Huo Jiu, whether it was a wife or a concubine, she would only torture herself to death.
Jiang Yan's words, Jiang Chenfeng, who listened to it, couldn't help but have a sour nose. Tang choked up and cried.
Jiang Yan strode forward in distress and hugged Jiang Yan, sobbing sadly: "Sister Sister, how good is this, how good is this!" It's the eldest sister who is useless, she can't even see Huo Ying, let alone please him, if I am useful, why bother you! Sister don't be afraid, the eldest sister will definitely think of a child and not ask you to marry into their family! Even if it's a dead ......."
"What can't die?" Jiang Yan smiled and wiped her tears for Jiang Yan, who was half a head taller than herself, "Death is the easiest thing, it's just a matter of touching your head, is our Jiang family so spineless?" Can you endure death, but can't you have the patience to fight for your life? ”
Tang stopped crying, and Jiang Yan, Jiang Chenfeng, and Jiang Jiao all looked directly at Jiang Yan.
"What kind of character I am, you know best, since Huo Nineteen chose me, I will play with him. If you can get by, it's okay. If it's not good, if I kill him, it will be counted as a harm to the people! When the time comes, the sea and the sky will be wide, and I will have my own place. ”
When Jiang Yu made this bold statement, she couldn't help but think of the embarrassment when she fought with the scholar just now, and she was afraid that it would not be so easy to kill Huo Nineteen.
Tang and the others were dumbfounded by her words, and snorted: "How can this make it, if you marry, he will be your husband, how can you kill him, how can his daughter's family shout and kill." ”
"Yes, third sister, even if it's Huo Shijiu's dog thief, your hands are stained with blood, and you can't clean it for the rest of your life." When Jiang Chenfeng spoke, his eyes were firm, as if he had decided something.
This remark made Jiang Yu very moved. also saw Jiang Chenfeng's expression in his eyes, secretly took his heart to himself, and asked instead: "What did that person say?" ”
The family sat down around the half-new black lacquer Eight Immortals table, and Jiang Yancai said: "Huo Ying means to take a fancy to the appearance of the third sister, and say that she is willing to marry you as a wife, but if our family is unwilling, this family business will be stopped, and it will only be my father's life...... If we nod, we will go to the Huo family to report a message, and my father will naturally be safe and sound. But when his father impeached Huo Ying, what he said in the excerpt made him unhappy, because Huo Ying meant to let his father re-fold, praising Huo Ying for being honest and honest, and he was a genius in civil and martial arts. ”
"That dog thief, it's really shameless! Where is there such a threat of human life to praise him! I'm not afraid of the world's jokes! ”
"Shameless whore!"
"His face has long been lost everywhere, where is there any face?"
……
The Jiang family was indignant and drenched the blood of the dog scolded by Huo Ying, Huo Shijiu in the Huo Mansion study suddenly sneezed two or three times in a row.
Cao Yu handed over the handkerchief, and his voice was still soft, "Is the master cold?" It's still cold, why don't you have a charcoal basin prepared? ”
"Not necessarily." Huo Shijiu pushed away the handkerchief, crooked in the circle chair, tightened the sable velvet collar gown on his shoulders, turned the page of "Mencius" in his hand, and said without raising his eyebrows: "You continue." ”
"Yes." Cao Yu should be, and his face was a little more uncomfortable: "It's my negligence, seeing that the young man's kung fu path is novel, I started to play with it, I thought that it would be like an old boy playing naughty, and there would be no mistakes, but after the last time, I realized that the young man had not used all his strength, revealing flaws for me to catch, and then took the opportunity to escape." If your subordinates are negligent, please punish the master. "Bow down.
Huo Shijiu threw "Mencius" on the table casually, there was a smile in his beautiful eyes under his thick eyebrows, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, "I didn't expect you to have a day of frustration." ”
Although the voice was low and gentle, he couldn't hide the ridicule, which was really the look that Cao Yu expected to watch the show.
Cao Yu's delicate face was crimson, and his ears were red: "Master, I'm really sorry, please punish him." ”
Huo Jiu got up, his thin and tall body wrapped in a thick gown and looked a little thin: "Are there fewer people who want to kill me?" Don't care about running one. It's getting late, so let's rest. ”
Cao Yu saw that Huo Nineteen was about to leave, so he took a step after him: "Master, I still have something to say." ”
Huo Shijiu stopped and turned around, frowned suspiciously, and said seriously: "You say." ”
"I feel that Miss Jiang San is really not worthy of you." Cao Yu said honestly: "That woman is too shallow and too heartless. He told the scene he saw when he went to Jiang's house, and said: "What kind of person is the master, if you don't marry a wife, if you want to marry, why do you want such a woman." ”
Hearing this, Huo Shijiu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "If you are tired, you can rest too." ”
Cao Yu didn't know how to say more, so he had to give up his hand and say, "Yes." ”

Except for Jiang Yu and Jiang Jiao, the rest of the Jiang family stayed up all night, discussed again and again, and finally compromised.
Early in the morning, Sister Yin cooked noodles, and specially added some more shredded meat and a poached egg to Jiang Yan's bowl of noodles, Tang's, Jiang Yan, Jiang Chenfeng, and also gave Jiang Yan the shredded meat in their bowls, and even Jiang Jiao gave her her favorite poached eggs.
Looking at the stacks of small mountain-high shredded meat and poached eggs in the white porcelain bowl in front of her, Jiang Yan couldn't cry or laugh: "I married the Huo family to be a wife, and I wasn't assigned to Ningguta to work as a coolie, so I can't lose it." ”
"You eat more." Jiang Yan held her hand, and there were tears in her eyes, "This is also our intention." ”
Jiang Wei smiled, after all, she ate a large bowl of noodles and shredded meat, as well as three poached eggs, and she walked around the courtyard for two sticks of incense before she felt better.
The Tang clan sent Qiao's mother out to pass the message to the Huo family, and said that she had agreed to the family matter.
When Qiao's mother came back, she went straight to the front hall and replied: "Madam, Mr. Cao of the Huo family said that since we have decided, then we must not go back, and Lord Huo's family affairs naturally cannot be sloppy, they will definitely find a weighty person to be Baoshan, and tell us to wait at home and teach the three girls etiquette." ”
Tang had a headache and nodded in response.
In this way, the matter of saving her husband and father was also settled in the Jiang family.
Two days later, Du Mingyuan came to visit Jiang Yu again, and the two were talking in the boudoir, when they heard Sister Yin's anxious voice in the courtyard: "Madam, madam, the master is back!" ”
"Uncle Jiang is back!?" Du Ming stood up with a stiff kist, and the bandage fell to the ground.
Jiang Yu threw down the unfinished melon seeds in her hand and pushed the door out quickly.
In the courtyard, I saw my father, dressed in prison uniform, with long messy hair and tangled hair, and shackles, who entered the door under the escort of two jailers and several men. The shackles dragged on the ground, making a desolate "whoosh" sound.
