Chapter 114: Abandoned Girl

Early in the morning, Xue Jinjun smiled and sent Zhang Shaoxiong and others, who were attracted by his second brother to stay for one night.

But as soon as he turned back to his yard, his smiling Buddha appearance immediately turned into an indissolubly crying face.

Yesterday's glorious reception has become a big stone in Xue Jinjun's heart at this moment. Although Xue Jinjun is very bold in doing business and has a wide range of ways, he can escort the media to send women to Zhang Shaoxiong, but if he gives away his own daughter, he is still extremely reluctant in his heart.

When Zhang Shaoxiong described the prospects to Xue Sujun last night, he cited Sun Yunqiao of Guanlan Garden in the southwest of the state capital as an example.

Sun Yunqiao is now eighteen years old, his ancestral home is Caizhou, and his deceased father had been a six-grade petty official in Hezhou, but unfortunately he died in office, and his wife and daughter were unable to help him return home. So three years ago, after her father's funeral, she supported the door alone, and the beautiful poems and paintings made in the boudoir gradually spread to the world, so as to sing with the literati and ink writers, and travel with high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and became famous in Hezhou in less than a year. Nowadays, many young talents are vying for employment, but the girl of the Sun family has not yet chosen her husband's family.

It can be seen that Xue Jin, who has seen real people, understands that Sun Yunqiao's scenery is just the appearance of coaxing the little girl.

The official daughter who was born in a good family is more noble than those women in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion in terms of identity, and the people who go to Guanlan Garden seem to be noble. Originally not a famous artist, how much can a piece of poetry and painting be sold for? Being able to earn money is really relied on being sent to the Chinese in front of the official and businessmen, although it is not raw Zhang Shuwei who came out to sell his body, but what he does is not what an ordinary woman should do. Those young people who are begging for marriage are sincere begging, but they are speculators who value the interests behind her and don't care about women's names.

But after hearing Zhang Shaoxiong say that Sun Yunqiao was actually just a middle-aged person, Xue Sujun was even more determined to go to the state capital. She didn't want to be Sun Yunqiao's second. Instead, we must first be the first in Jiangnan.

Xue Jinjun's worries were vividly suppressed by the second brother Xue Jinyi's hard pinch on his legs. "My niece fell in love with Lord Zhang, you dare to stop it. Rejected Lord Zhang's kindness? The second brother's whispered warning and Zhang Shaoxiong's murderous name suddenly frightened him on the spot.

Now. When the demagogic demon left, Xue Jinjun, who had been thinking about it for a long time, still stood by the door of his daughter's boudoir, and worriedly picked some cautious and nice words to persuade Xue Sujun a few words.

Xue Suyun was stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled down his originally excited face and lay on the pillow and cried.

"It's okay if Su'er doesn't want to go to Hezhou, Daddy will think of a way, anyway, the one surnamed Zhang is also a ...... who is good at making money", Xue Jinjun approached his daughter's side, whispered comfort, full of self-blame. He thought about it too. If I hadn't pulled my daughter out like Xianbao yesterday and appeared in front of the distinguished guests, maybe I wouldn't be as embarrassed as I am now.

"I'm going to Hezhou!" , Xue Sujun sat up all of a sudden, Furong was covered with rain, but her little mouth was very neat, and she raised her voice: "Weishenme is not going?" At most, he is just helping Master Zhang do something, he is in charge of Hezhou, and he can't let me suffer. ”

Xue Jinjun felt a big headache and said, "Su'er! Businessmen like us are more likely to choose their relatives. If you are obedient, you should enter the scholarly family. Choose a son-in-law with a decent character to be in charge, and Daddy will post more dowry silver to you, as long as you are attentive, you can keep it in your hands at home and abroad. I can live a prosperous life. But if you listen to Zhang Shaoxiong, even if he keeps his promise yesterday and chooses a good son-in-law for you, it is just for the husband and wife to work hard for him. ”

"Scholarly Mendi? Is the family that Daddy is referring to like the Xiao Zhou family in Xinan? ”

Thinking of what happened to the Zhou family recently. Xue Suyun's tears couldn't be stopped even more aggrievedly, and he said while sobbing: "Daddy." You don't know what their family did to their daughter? Originally, the daughter was handed in, and it was already embarrassing to coax a pile of uninformed girls. But what do they do to me? That Zhou Manjing was shy every day, and she screamed at Sister Su'er, but when I handed it to the door, she actually asked a mother-in-law to send me away with some worthless toys made by her.

When I finally entered the door of Zhou's house, the mother and daughter in the fourth room treated me as a businesswoman who delivered goods to the door. Looking at the silk and satin eyebrows and smiling, everything is fine, and as soon as my daughter mentioned it and asked Manyin to take me around, the Min family immediately said with her nostrils facing the sky, "If you collide with the buddies to study, it won't be good" ......"

pinched his throat and learned the frame of Min's oblique triangular danfeng eyes to speak, Xue Sujun stopped crying, twisted the Qian-colored silk handkerchief in his hand, bit a mouthful of snow-white silver teeth, and said fiercely: "Don't they just look down on me!" lest I harm the men of their family, I will go to the state capital, and if they hand over the scroll to Lord Zhang to ask for fame, I will tell Lord Zhang and let them come to me first! ”

Xue Jin looked at his daughter for a while, then slowly stood up and said softly: "For my father, I will send someone to look at the house with the state capital!" ”

"Daddy!" , Xue Sujun called happily and hugged his father's waist lovingly as usual.

With a long sigh in his chest, Xue Jinjun's hand fell on Xue Sujun's black hair. Since Zhang Shaoxiong of Hezhou can't be offended, Xue Sujun also has his own opinions, so he can only give up this daughter who has hurt like an eyeball for eleven years.

Xue Jinjun and his wife were married to the end of the marriage, and they worked hard to get the business up while pulling up the four younger siblings below, and when the days were better, the wife was recuperated several times before she was difficult to get a middle-aged daughter, but Su Su still gave up when she was seven years old. Thinking about the knot and estrus, and Su Su has been crying and rejecting his stepmother in the past few years, Xue Jin thought about it again and again, so he put it off again and again.

But at this moment, Xue Jinjun suddenly made up his mind to marry into the steproom. Even the vulgar and fierce village women don't care, as long as they can give birth and raise them.

The turning point of life is only a breath and a thought.

Even if he deviated in the first half of the race and made a detour in Huocheng in vain, Xue Sujun still slowly moved and returned to the right path lightly. The weak girl who is about to be forced by her vicious stepmother to have no way out will stand out in the world with her own talent and mind, but this kind of trivial matter that has been cultivated by the blue eyes of nobles before before does not have to be deliberately mentioned at any time.

For Zhou Manyun, Xue Suyun is finally back on track, and she has no way of knowing.

When Xue Jinjun was trying to persuade the girl, the boat she was riding was leisurely parked at Taohuadu. Zhou Chen, who was in danger of becoming a prince at the ferry, lifted his robe and jumped up without waiting for the boat to be stable. I can't wait to move my grandparents and grandchildren home.

Zhou Xian and Man Yun came back by coincidence, and they happened to be more than an hour wrong with Zhang Shaoxiong and the others who left Huocheng.

Zhou Xian smiled and scolded Zhou Chen for being rough and unstable. But in my heart, I was still very cautious about the distinguished guests who visited Huocheng. As soon as I returned to the house, I gathered several older children. There are also Xuanshuang and others who have arrived at the Cultivating Heart Hall.

In the Cultivating Heart Hall, Man Yun sat at Grandpa's feet with a delicate little brow, listening to the two cousins' complementary narrations, and realized that the memories of his previous life had become a pile of waste.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look down and laugh to herself. Not to mention the changes in the Zhou family, Xue Sujun, Xiao Hong and others who came to Huocheng in a bunch were already unexpected, and Zhang Shaoxiong, who appeared more than half a year in advance, was just a little frost added to the snow, a black frost that could kill people.

"It should be the two people who died and the other was disabled in Zizhu Temple at the beginning of the year who attracted him." , Manyun said. While spreading out a map in his hand, he said: "Zhang Shaoxiong's fake soldiers are thieves, Uncle Du has reported it before, and the gang of thieves we are specifically staring at are now gathered fifty or sixty people and horses stranded in Liupanyan west of Huoshan. ”

The Huoshan Mountain Range is continuously inclined to the north of Huocheng, and the middle section is at the boundary of the county seat, but the two sides have stretched into the surrounding villages and towns, and if you are not careful, it will be missed.

Zhou Manyun is now very grateful to his aunt Jiang Shi, who left the Du family's personal soldiers in Huocheng. Chiang's original arrangement. Now it seems that it is very good, the pro-soldiers scattered to the various manors of the Zhou family sneaked down and were out of sight, and they could detect the movements of the Quartet like tentacles.

Those thieves near Liupanyan had been pretending to be unaware of the stocking. Just wait for one day when the Jiang bandit team of the Zhou family, who is now in secret training, pulls out the activity, it is justifiable to have some small friction with them, and then there will be a black eater.

It's just that Zhang Shaoxiong, who came in advance, really made Man Yun feel uneasy. If there is something in the world, there will be a loss, after finding out where the thief came from. Incidentally, he led the big thief leader out in a frightening manner.

Man Yun pondered how to hide the specious prophetic foresight. Only then did he purse his lips and said softly: "The Huocheng Zhou clan has a large population and lives nearby. Because of the same root and origin, if there is something in the family, the four will respond to support. I wondered, these thieves shouldn't be as unscrupulous as Toyojin, right? ”

There was a buzz of heated discussions in the hall, and several teenagers of the Zhou family began to speculate, "If I am a thief, what will happen?" ".

Zhou Xian stroked the white beard under his chin, looked at Man Yun, who did not participate in the discussion but sat honestly with his mouth and nose, and smiled. He appreciates his granddaughter's knowingly clever questioning, and from time to time he would show "I'm strong, I can do it!" For the little girl, Manyun has grown up.

Several of Man Yun's brothers are quite smart, and it didn't take long for someone to mention the idea of robbing people and goods from the light clothes Jane. Even if the people who go out to buy goods are taken captive, it is meaningless, and the best ones to start should be the children who are going to school......

After reaching a final decision, the people gathered in the Cultivating Heart Hall dispersed.

With a touch of blush when arguing with his brothers, Gao Shen returned to the west chamber of Xiuyutang with light steps. It was only this year that his grandfather and brothers began to talk about family affairs with him, and this feeling of being trusted was wonderful for him.

"Shen'er is back!" , Seeing Zhou Shen enter the house, Gao Wei, who had been waiting for him under the window for a long time with a book, immediately stood up.

Previously, Zhou Xian sent someone to Xiuyutang to summon people, but he only said that he wanted to summon the eldest grandchildren in the family, but did not call him. At that time, Gao Wei's heart was slightly sour, but he was relieved after a while, his family stayed in the Zhou family after all, he was just a relative, and he couldn't hope that the old man would really treat him as his own grandson.

But Gao Wei, who always felt that he should be able to help a little, went to Zhou Shen's house to wait for his cousin, wanting to hear what was going on.

Zhou Shen's small mouth opened and closed, and he decided to follow his cousin Zhou Chen's explanation, and did not dare to speak carefully to Gao Wei. The feud between the Zhou family and Zhang Shaoxiong, there is no need to tear down the cousin and the Gao family who were originally out of the matter.

Therefore, Zhou Shen was shy, and only said softly about some of the results that could be said, and said: "Grandpa said that there are many fish and dragons on the market now, and I am afraid that there will be things like the purple bamboo forest...... And you can't associate with other people's homes privately. ”

"Someone else?" , Gao Wei looked at the red on Zhou Shen's face, his eyes were a little colder, and he asked with a smile, "Are you talking about the Xue family again?" The fourteen-year-old boy is the age when he looks at everything with thorns, and the Zhou family's criticism and suppression of Xue Sujun and the Xue family, who had been kind to them, made him feel a little unhappy.

Zhou Shen nodded vigorously. To be honest, he also had a very good impression of Xue Sujun, but Grandpa explained that he didn't allow it, so he naturally listened honestly.

But looking at Gao Wei's noncommittal expression, he hurriedly pulled his cousin's sleeve and explained carefully: "Cousin also listens to Grandpa, anyway...... Anyway, the sixth sister was not happy to have a relationship with Xue Sujun. In Zhou Shen's thoughts, his cousin was good to Xue Suyun and thought that she could play with her sixth sister Man Yun, but since Man Yun and even the other sisters couldn't get along with her, they, as boys, could only put this matter aside.

"Sixth Sister...... Zhou Manyun ......", Gao Wei sighed softly and nodded. Zhou Manyun's intelligence and favor have seen him, but her mind, he can also be regarded as knowledgeable.

Zhou Shen, who thought that he had persuaded his cousin with his cousin, immediately burst into a bright smile. (To be continued......)
