There is a custom among the people of Daqi that if someone is seriously ill, or if the parents and elders are seriously ill, they can use the method of hastily marrying to dilute the "bad luck". In the eyes of Daqi people, illness and bad luck are the same, they are full of bad luck, so they need to be celebrated to neutralize it.

But although it is good for the patient, it is not good for the bride of Hedge Xi, and the reputation is not good, and after entering the door, it will be looked down upon by neighbors, relatives and friends. Therefore, generally only poor families who can't live can sell their daughters to be happy. In any case, Chong Xi is also the lady of the main family that Ming Media is marrying, which is better than being a concubine for someone and even selling it to the church.

It's just that someone like the Du family, how could they agree to let Du Hengshuang be happy?

Even Xiao Shiji felt very uncomfortable. He subconsciously didn't want Du Hengshuang to face such a situation, and he didn't even want to tell her......

"Chongxi?" Xiao Shiji was stunned, "Is it that serious?" No, I have to go and ask King Yijun to help him be accommodating, and ask a royal doctor to come over and take a look. ”

Zhu Susu was very dissatisfied, reached out and stroked the hair on his forehead, and said angrily: "Brother Xiao can't trust my medical skills?" ”

Xiao Shi and Zhengse said: "Human life is a matter of heaven. It's not a matter of believing it or not. If my mother is already serious enough to be happy, it is appropriate to ask a few more Lang Zhong to take a look. ”

Zhu Susu bit his lower lip, and a row of snow-white braided shell teeth bit out a few delicate tooth marks on his lower lip, and only after a long time did he smile and shake his head, "Brother Xiao is really shrewd, and he can't hide anything from you." ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Shi and a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes narrowed, staring at Zhu Susu a little unkindly.

"Brother Xiao. Do you really not know the way or do you not know the way? My aunt has a heart disease, and heart disease requires heart medicine. Zhu Susu sighed, looking helpless.

"What heart disease? I'm going to get married, my mother should be happy, right? Xiao Shiji frowned, not understanding what Zhu Susu meant.

Zhu Susu looked around, and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, you can say it. This is my study, and no one else will come in. Xiao Shihe said lightly.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Brother Xiao, in order to marry a wife, you broke the wall at home, and renovated the new house better than Xihe Courtyard, have you ever thought about your aunt's feelings? - She's worried that you've married a daughter-in-law and forgotten your mother! "Zhu Susu looks like he hates iron but not steel.

Xiao Shi and Mo Ran. Long Xiangye did have this meaning. But is it really that serious?

Xiao Shiji moved a little uncomfortably on the mahogany officer's chair. "If it's just a heart disease, it's easy to do."

Zhu Susu sighed, "It was a heart disease at the beginning, but now it is not a heart disease." You don't know if a person is depressed for too long. The body will also collapse. Will there still be suicidal thoughts? ”

"Depression" in modern medicine. If you say it, Xiao Shiji won't understand. Zhu Susu just kept shaking her head and sighing, sighing that this mother-in-law wants to toss her daughter-in-law, which is really the same in ancient and modern times.

Fortunately, he didn't have the idea of beating Xiao Shiji again. Otherwise, buy one get one free and get Long Xiangye, the mother-in-law, she will really have a short life of several years. Although she is snobbish, she is also practical, and she is even more life-conscious, and she can't find herself unhappy.

As for Du Hengshuang, Zhu Susu found that she was more sympathetic than jealous of her now. After all, there is such a white lotus-like bodhisattva waiting for her to worship at home, no matter how good her feelings are, they will be worn out......

Xiao Shiji didn't speak again, and after sending Zhu Susu away, he also invited a few imperial doctors to enter the house one after another, and found that Long Xiangye was indeed very sick, and the whole person was so thin that only a handful of bones remained.

At this point, Xiao Shiji had to believe that he didn't believe it.

"Mother, you're so sick, why don't you rush to be happy?" Xiao Shiji said this sentence with great difficulty in front of Long Xiangye's hospital bed.

Long Xiangye stared at Xiao Shihe's more and more knife-like silhouette of his face, sighed slightly, shook his head, and said, "No need." I can't do it, you have to have a heart and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. Remember to bury me with your father in the future. In my life, I think about it, and the most comfortable days I live are the days when I am by your father's side......"

Xiao Shiji couldn't hold back any longer, knelt in front of Long Xiangye with a plop, lowered his head, a pair of fists clenched tightly, and his broad shoulders seemed to be crushed a little.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't ...... No...... married a daughter-in-law and forgot her mother. Over the years, I have neglected my mother and younger siblings, but I ...... I...... I'm also here for this family. ”

Long Xiangye smiled and stroked Xiao Shiji's cheek, "I know the Dao, I know the Dao." You don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to rejoice. Shuang'er was born in everyone, let her be happy, she is so wronged, you will have a pimple in your heart for the rest of your life. It's really not worth it to hurt the relationship between our mother and son for this matter. Shuang'er is a good girl, you have to live a good life with her, have children in the future, and grow old together. - Don't rush anything. My wife has lived so far, and it is enough for her. ”

Xiao Shiji was even more uncomfortable, and his head hung lower. My mother is not yet forty years old, and she said such frustrating words, isn't it because she neglects her family too much on weekdays?

Xiao Taiji heard it outside the door, rushed in, knelt at the head of Long Xiangye's bed, and said loudly: "Mother! Let Rulian rejoice! I don't care if my reputation is good or not, as long as my mother can get better, let me and Yunlian do anything! ”

Xiao Shiji glanced at Xiao Taiji and said coldly, "What are you fooling in?" ”

Xiao Taiji turned to Xiao Shiji sideways, and said sincerely: "Big brother, I'm serious." The sister-in-law's family and our family have a good relationship, and now she is the eldest lady in Jingzhaoyin's house, let her be happy, even if she is willing, her mother will never be willing, why do you make it difficult for your sister-in-law? Yunlian is different, I went to their house today, and they all agreed, but they said that they were too hasty, and the dowry was not fully prepared for a while. I made my own assertion and said that there is no need for a dowry, our Xiao family is rich, and it is not inferior to their dowry of a few hundred taels of silver. ”

Xiao Taiji had just turned fifteen years old, and he had already done it quietly.

Siu suddenly felt that he had neglected his family for too long. Unconsciously, even his younger brother, who used to only let him hold on his back, has his own ideas and will stand alone.

"Let my younger siblings rejoice. Does her family really not care? "The county is also a nine-grade official, and although the mosquito is small, it is also meat. Isn't it that the poor are about to starve to death, so they sell their daughters?

Of course, her mother was a little reluctant, but her aunt and cousin strongly agreed, saying that saving people's lives would be better than creating the Seven Extremes Floating Massacre. If you can help, you can help, and said that our Xiao family is a kind person, and we will definitely not treat Yunlian badly. "Xiao Taiji did one thing for the first time, and there was already some hope in his speech.

He didn't like to study and didn't want to go to school. I don't want to be an official. Childhood. Long Xiangye also sent him into the school, he fished for three days, dried nets for two days, and knew a few words. I don't want to go again. Since childhood, my favorite things are counting money, planning plates, and reading account books. Of course. These skills. He went to the Xiao family's shop in private and learned from the shopkeepers, not only Xiao Shihe didn't know what to do. Even the dragon incense leaves are not very clear. Just because he is the youngest son and has no father since he was a child, he couldn't even eat enough back then, Long Xiangye felt that he had treated him badly, so he was very proud of him, even if he didn't go to school, he was reluctant to say a word about him.

"Later, Guan Xiancheng came out and made a final decision, saying that he could marry immediately, as long as his mother's body could get better." Xiao Taiji grabbed Long Xiangye's hand with a look of admiration.

No matter what you say, this second child is much more caring than the boss.

Long Xiangye sighed, "Thank you, in-laws." Brother Tai, you have a good father-in-law, and when Yunlian enters the door in the future, you can't treat her badly. Whoever dares to despise her in the future in our family, I will be the first to disagree. As he spoke, he had already settled on the matter of Chongxi.

Xiao Shiji opened his mouth and swallowed the words again. Indeed, Xiao Taiji was not wrong. Chongxi's matter, even if Du Hengshuang is willing, Fang Yuniang will definitely not agree. And even if Fang Yuniang is willing, Xiao Shi and himself are also unwilling. He didn't know why, but when he thought of the frost who would be wronged by the weight of his heart, he was like a thousand claws scratching his heart, and he wanted to replace him with his body.

In his heart, the relationship with Du Hengshuang is something he has been looking forward to for 14 years, and he is not allowed to leave a little mistake and regret.

He wants to give Frost the best thing in the world.

In that case, let my brother marry a wife first.

Xiao Shiji felt infinitely guilty, stood up and said, "My brother and sister's family are so reasonable, of course we can't treat them badly. - Come, take me a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver and send it to the Guan family, and say that it is the dowry we subsidized for our younger siblings. "The dowry of the Xiao family has already been sent, and the twenty dowry is worth one thousand taels of silver, of course, it is not as good as the one hundred and twenty dowry for Du Hengshuang, which is worth twenty thousand taels of silver.

However, Du Hengshuang is married to the eldest son, and she will be a clan wife in the future, and the following concubines cannot be compared with her.

Long Xiangye felt a lot more relieved in his heart, struggled to sit up, and ordered: "Take my jewelry box, send my set of gold-inlaid jade and sea blue pearls with the head and face of it, and add a box to this child." ”

The Xiao family has silver, and they can get things done quickly and quickly. Three days later, the Xiao family held a happy event and married Guan Yunlian in the house.

Since Xiao Shiji felt guilty in his heart, he wanted to compensate his mother and younger brother more and more, and let his brother marry the courtyard of the new house he had carefully prepared.

happened to be the day of marriage, which was the day of Du Hengshuang and Ji.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly watched Du Hengshuang's hairpin, and rushed home to attend his brother's wedding.

Daqi's weddings follow the ancient system, which is held at dusk, so Xiao Shiji has enough time to rush back.

Du Hengshuang looked at Xiao Shihe's back in a hurry, a trace of doubt rose in his heart, and he stood silently under the corridor in a trance.

Zhu Susu stayed at Xu's house all day today, and when she saw Du Hengshuang's overjoyed appearance, she shook her head secretly, couldn't help but take a step late, and stayed to say a few words to her.

The guests had all dispersed, and Du Hengshuang met Zhu Susu in the verandah of his courtyard.

Looking at Du Hengshuang's red and dark trimmed gown, Zhu Susu was half envious, half ridiculous: "Miss Du is in good spirits on happy occasions, and when she looks at it today, she is more beautiful than yesterday." ”

Du Hengshuang saw that Zhu Susu's words were nondescript, glanced at her quietly, and said lightly: "Of course, the ceremony is a happy event, I am in better spirits, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Yes, of course you're right. However, I always thought you were a smart person, but who knew that you just had a smart face, but in fact, you were also a confused heart. I really think highly of you. As he spoke, he shook his head, and the look on his face did not look like a fake.

Du Hengshuang immediately remembered Xiao Shihe's restless appearance today, and his eyes sank. said to Zhu Susu: "Girls, Ming people don't say dark words, if you have anything to say, please say it directly." ”

Zhu Susu watched the sky gradually darken, and didn't want to stay outside for a long time, so he said succinctly: "Why don't you want to rejoice?" Do you know that although Chongxi has a bad reputation, it can be affordable. I'm usually not idle, but for the sake of Brother Xiao who has always treated me well, I wanted to help you for the first time. You can still refuse. It was so unexpected. ”

Du Hengshuang was surprised, "What kind of joy?" What are you talking about? Then he immediately reacted, "Is it my aunt's illness?" "I was so anxious for a while, and I didn't care about the etiquette. I'm busy calling the maid over. Follow her to Xiao's house to have a look.

Zhu Susu was also taken aback. "You don't know what to do? You don't know what to do about this? ”

Du Hengshuang didn't have the time to play dumb riddles with her anymore, and said angrily: "You don't need to say it, I'll see for myself." As he spoke, he was about to go out.

Zhu Susu hurriedly reached out and grabbed her. In a low voice, "It's late." Tonight's prayer has already been held. ”

Du Hengshuang turned his head sharply and glared at Zhu Susu, "Who do you say is holding the faint ceremony?" "A heart is pounding, for fear that it is Xiao Shiji.

Zhu Susu understood Du Hengshuang's fear, nodded with a smile, and said, "Do you still know that you are afraid?" - It's Xiao Taiji, Brother Xiao's younger brother marries his wife Chongxi. After speaking, Zhu Susu also understood. Xiao Shiji never told Du Hengshuang about it at all!

"Alas, Brother Xiao really has nothing to say to you, I hope you are worthy of Brother Xiao's hard work in the future." Zhu Susu shook his head, turned around and left.

This time, it was Du Hengshuang who grabbed Zhu Susu's sleeve and said in a deep voice: "You make it clear before you leave, what the hell is going on." ”

Zhu Susu looked back at Du Hengshuang, and saw that her cheeks, which were still pink and flushed just now, had become pale and white, and even her lips had lost their blood, and she also had some sympathy for her, and said slowly: "Miss Du, I have always been a person who is not afraid of the stage when watching dramas, but this time, even I can't stand it." As he spoke, he said Long Xiangye's "illness", and then said: "I originally thought that I would use a 'rushing' excuse to make your mother-in-law angry, although you don't look good, but Brother Xiao can't help but feel guilty about you, and he will remember this benefit of you for the rest of his life." And on your mother-in-law's side, she will always think that you have no face when you enter the door, and her heart will be more happy, and she will not have other resentments against you. ”

Showing weakness is a science, and showing weakness appropriately at the best moment is actually a very advantageous thing.

Du Hengshuang lost this opportunity, but Guan Yunlian seized this opportunity.

Zhu Susu originally thought that Xiao Shiji would definitely mention this matter to Du Hengshuang, but the most unhappy person was not Du Hengshuang, it must be Du Hengshuang himself who was unwilling.

Who would have thought that Xiao Shi and Fundamentals had never mentioned it to Du Hengshuang.

"When was this decided?" Du Hengshuang took a deep breath and began to ponder the way to save him.

"I mentioned it three days ago, and then the Guan family immediately agreed, today the sedan chair entered the door, and this child should have been married in the worship hall. - Miss Du, I should say that I have already said it, I am going to go to Xiao's house to eat wedding wine now. Leave! As he spoke, he bowed his hand to Du Hengshuang and left Jing Zhaoyin's mansion with a maid.

"Hurry up, it's going to be late." Zhu Susu saw that the sky was darkening, and he regretted that he had said too much to Du Hengshuang just now.

The driver who drove the car did not dare to disobey, and with a "driving" sound, a whip was drawn on the horse. The horse got to run.

On the streets at dusk, pedestrians are hurrying home.

In order to save time, Zhu Susu ordered the coachman to take a shortcut to Xiao's house.

But when the carriage had just turned onto a path, a man came crookedly and fell to the ground with a clatter, not knowing whether he was hit by the carriage or fell on his own.

"Phew!" The coachman jerked the reins and forced the horse to stop.

Zhu Susu was knocked to the ground in the car, and he was so angry that he lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" Bumpering?! ”

The coachman cried with a sad face, and pointed to a person lying not far from the car: "Miss, it seems to be ...... It seems to have hit someone. ”

Zhu Susu was depressed for a while, and hurriedly got out of the car to check, muttering, "Sure enough, a good person can't do it, and a good person bullies you every day......"

After taking the pulse for a while, Zhu Susu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it wasn't our car that hit it." This man is hungry. As he spoke, he threw down the man's hand. I got into the car and said to the driver, "Let's go, it has nothing to do with us." ”

The coachman looked at the unconscious man lying on the ground, and a few wild dogs not far away who were poking their brains out of this side, and hesitated: "Miss, let's save him......"

Zhu Susu knocked on the car window irritably and said, "What to save!" It wasn't our car that hit it! You really can't be a good person! What a loss! While urging the driver to go quickly.

The driver was helpless and drove the car forward slowly.

After walking a few steps, Zhu Susu shouted irritably: "Go back!" Get back! ”

The coachman grinned, hurried the car around, and came to the fainting man. Just in time to chase away the wild dogs with green eyes.

Together with the maid, the coachman lifted the man from the ground into the cart. It was placed on the couch in the car.

"Hmph, quite tall, quite a big man, with hands and feet. How can you starve yourself like this? Zhu Susu said disdainfully. But he still urged the driver to hurry to drive the car home. Let the cook cook porridge and meat soup for him to drink.

You Qianniang saw that Zhu Susu brought back an unconscious man from outside, so she came over curiously to take a look, nodded and said, "You have never brought patients home." How did you make an exception today? And bring back a beggar? ”

Zhu Susu pursed his lips and didn't answer, wondering why he suddenly had a good heart. You must know that after so many years of blows and experiences, her desire to marry a golden beetle son-in-law has not changed, and her other wishes are gone.

When I used to read novels, the beggars picked by the crossing women were actually princes, generals, and even princes and grandsons, but when it was her turn, she was very sure that the beggars she picked were beggars, and there would be no other results. - After so many years here, she has given up a lot of dreams of crossing women and has become more and more pragmatic......

"Chongxi of the Xiao family, aren't you going?" You Qianniang knew that Zhu Susu was going to run two fields today, one was the Xu family's Du Hengshuang's ceremony, and the other was the Xiao family's Xiao Taiji's faint ceremony.

Zhu Susu yawned, "No, I'll take a shower and go to sleep." Tomorrow, I will go to Xiao's house to see how my aunt's illness is and whether it is improving......

As expected, Xiao Tai and his marriage were the second day, Long Xiangye's illness was cured, and he didn't need to be helped, he came out of the room in good spirits, and sat in the middle hall to accept Xiao Tai and Guan Yunlian's kneeling and offering tea.

"Good boy, my mother's body is thanks to you. Don't worry, if you suffer this big loss, your mother will definitely compensate you. You have just gotten married now, and you shouldn't have worked so hard, but I'm just recovering from a serious illness, and I can't take care of my mental head for a while, so you can work harder, so help me take care of the housekeeper first. As he spoke, he took out the pair of cards from the inner courtyard of the Xiao family and handed them to Guan Yunlian.

Guan Yunlian is a bride, and last night she was so shocked by the luxury of the new house yard that she didn't sleep well all night, knowing that she was married, and she had been nervous, for fear that she would not be liked by Long Xiangye. Now seeing Long Xiangye's love for her, she hurriedly looked at Xiao Shiji, who was sitting in the first position below, and saw that the uncle of this six-rank official also looked kind, and he was surprised and happy, and hurriedly excused himself: "Mother, I just got married, my eyes are dark, I don't understand anything, my mother handed over this family to me, I'm afraid of making a mess." ”

Long Xiangye said with a smile: "There are not many people in our family, so we can take care of it." I'll give you Mother Zhao by my side, she has been in charge of the family all her life, and it's still okay to help you by the side. ”

In this case, the daughter-in-law is more respectful than obedient. - Mother Zhao, please give me more advice in the future. Guan Yunlian saluted Zhao's mother again.

Mother Zhao hurriedly stepped aside and said with a smile: "The second lady is too famous, I'm just giving the second lady a start." ”

Xiao Taihe originally had no fame, and Guan Yunlian could not be called "Mrs.".

However, Xiao Shiji didn't want to go, so he gave Xiao Taiji the way to get the official body of a nine-grade outsider, and Guan Yunlian could be called "Mrs.".

Long Xiangye didn't continue to stop it. It doesn't matter if you are an idle official, you don't really want to be an official like Xiao Shihe. Longxiang Ye is well versed in the truth that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

They only have these two brothers in the Xiao family, but now that the Great Qi has been decided, the officialdom is treacherous, today the general will enter the prime minister, tomorrow will be raided and imprisoned, and the situation of female dependents being sold abounds.

Long Xiangye Zhilu said that with their family background, it is enough to have Xiao Shihe and a person to support him as an official outside, and it is best for Xiao Taiji to stay at home to inherit the family business.

"Second child......" Long Xiangye was about to speak, when she heard Fang Yu's mother not arrive, and heard the voice first, "I brought the imperial doctor here to see our in-laws." - There is a disease to be treated, the medicine can't be stopped, what's the use of just chongxi? ”
