A thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.

For many days, Chen Siyu has always had a question in his heart, who will pay off the arrears for his younger brother.

For 1,000 taels of silver, you can buy hundreds of acres of fine paddy fields and rent them out, so that you can live a worry-free life.

Who would be so generous?

A lot of strange things have happened these days.

Uncle Zhao's family, who raises cattle in the east of the town, gave birth to a calf with five legs.

At the house of the second aunt Sun, who raises chickens in the west of the town, the rooster lays three hen eggs.

In the south of the town, a thousand-year-old acacia tree that has been dead for many years spits out green buds.

At the north end of the town, a blind beggar miraculously regained his sight.

Strange people and wonders are one after another, which is breathtaking.

However, Siyu felt that no matter how strange these things were, they couldn't blame what happened in his own home.

She became more and more unable to see through her mother.

I didn't think there was anything until my mother suddenly took out the golden hairpin in the silk village that day.

That's a golden hairpin!

What shocked her even more than this golden hairpin was that she had never seen this hairpin.

Previously, she thought she knew everything about her mother.

Until the appearance of this golden hairpin.

My mother has never talked about her past, and Siyu doesn't know her life experience.

My mother has been deliberately avoiding, and Siyu didn't dare to ask more.

Because she can clearly feel that her mother is reluctant to touch the past.

In her conjecture, her mother should also be from a poor background.

Until the appearance of this golden hairpin subverted her cognition.

Since there is already this hairpin, why don't you take out the money to change the pen earlier, and life can be better?

Since in the past, no matter how hard it was, I didn't take it out, but now, I didn't take it late, I didn't take it early, and I took it out at this time.

And just to make a wedding dress for yourself!

Siyu thought that this hairpin could have been sold, and the silver would have been used to supplement the family, and life would not have been so hard.

This year, strange things happened one after another.

Siyu didn't dare to ask her mother about this hairpin, and if she did, she was afraid of touching her sadness.

As for her younger brother, she asked several times, and whenever she asked who would help him pay off the gambling bill, he always hesitated and stopped talking.

Finally, one day, at lunchtime, my brother knelt down in front of her.

At first, Siyu thought that his younger brother just regretted that he shouldn't gamble with the little money he had saved.

However, what he said next stunned her.

"Sister, I'm sorry for you!"

Chen Siyu was originally distressed that his younger brother was detained in Leshantang, but he was afraid that he had suffered a lot.

Today, she specially cooked many of his favorite dishes for him.

Seeing that her brother would kneel in front of her, she was a little panicked.

In a panic, she didn't understand what was going on, so she hurriedly helped her brother up, but was stopped by her mother.

She was a little surprised.

But seeing that the mother was staring at her younger brother with cold eyes, she was afraid that her younger brother would be beaten again, so she hurriedly protected him in front of him, and hurriedly helped him up with both hands.

"Yoon-sik, don't be like this, the man has gold under his knees, if you have anything to say, stand up and say it!"

But no matter how she helped, her brother burst into tears and didn't move.

Siyu, a weak woman, how could she afford her younger brother who was two heads taller than herself.

"Let him speak!"

The mother scolded angrily, followed by another violent cough, so that Siyu had to let go quickly.

"Brother, it's okay, everything is ......"

The mother waved her hand, coughed slightly, broke free from Siyu's hand, pointed at her brother and asked:

"You, are you okay...... Hide ......, how can you ...... Put...... It's back! ”

"Sister, I, I'm sorry for you!"

Seeing that his brother's face was flushed, Siyu was a little confused, "I'm sorry, me? ”

Seeing her brother dodging her eyes, she instantly had an ominous feeling, and all of a sudden, her eyes became dazed and extremely helpless.

"Speak quickly!"

Under his mother's repeated questioning, he kowtowed to his elder sister several times in a row, and finally confided the truth.

"Sister, in fact, I went to Leshantang more than once to gamble, and I didn't owe more than 1,000 taels of silver!"

With just this sentence, even Chen's mother was shocked, "You, what did you say?" ”

Siyu suddenly felt a feeling of dizziness, but she was afraid that her mother would be angry, so she coughed non-stop, so she hurriedly asked calmly, "Oh, it's okay, how much do you owe?" ”

At this time, the younger brother was silent.

Siyu was keenly aware that something was wrong.

Under the repeated questioning of her mother and her, her lovely brother finally confided the truth.

"What?"

Chen's mother's shocked face became more and more pale, "One, ten thousand taels!" ”

At that moment, Siyu felt that the sky was about to fall.

"You you, how can I pay it back!"

Chen's mother even forgot about coughing at this time, and cried vigorously.

"Mother, mother, return it!"

Maybe Chen Yunzhi was afraid that his mother would die because of too much pain, so he hurriedly told the good news.

But his voice was very quiet.

When he said this, his voice was extremely slight, but it was enough to startle Siyu and his mother to open their mouths and be speechless.

"Returned? Ten thousand taels? How did you pay it back? ”

Chen Siyu and his mother looked at each other.

After a while, his good brother put a letter of appointment in front of them.

I saw that the big red, with a festive color of the letter of appointment wrote, when the imperial master, the cabinet scholar Zuo Shouyi, Zuo Taishi learned that the Chen family had a female primary, gentle and lovely, virtuous and virtuous, and specially ordered a dowry of 10,000 taels of snowflake silver, and accepted it as the thirty-third concubine, hoping to receive it.

Below is his brother's handprint, and signature, Chen Yunzhi.

The red fingerprints, like bloody handprints, only sold themselves with a light stroke.

She was a little dizzy.

"Sister, in a month, the Zuo family will come to marry, I think ......"

Smack.

A loud slap hit his brother's weatherless face, and the red marks on his five fingers appeared.

This slap was made by Chen's mother.

I saw her sick and weak body, trembling uncontrollably, almost gritting her teeth, "I, Chen Ruolan's daughter, will never be a concubine for others!" ”

When Chen Yunzhi heard this, his head hung lower.

"Siyu!"

As soon as the mother pulled her over, she pushed her out of the door, "You go, run, don't go back to this house!" ”

"No, I'm leaving, what are you going to do?"

Chen Siyu was struggling to get rid of his mother.

But Chen's mother, who has been seriously ill all the year round, doesn't know where to get so strong at this moment, and she can't break free.

"Mother, don't worry, things haven't come to that point yet, isn't there still a month?"

"A month? Can you earn back that 10,000 taels of silver in a month? ”

Siyu suddenly became speechless.

10,000 taels, even if you are the lord of the county, the monthly income is less than one percent.

10,000 taels, which is enough for the Zhang butcher of the next door to kill how many pigs to earn back.

That's silver.

"Siyu, you listen to your mother's advice, you go quickly!"

Chen's mother saw that she couldn't answer, so she hurriedly pushed her out.

"No, I'm not leaving!"

Mother Chen snapped, a slap on Siyu's face, her hand was hot and painful, and her heart was torn apart.

Chen's mother saw that half of her daughter's pretty face was red and swollen, but she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, and she didn't fall, and she was very distressed.

Almost pleadingly, he told her, "Siyu go quickly, just don't go back to this house!" ”

"No, I won't!"

Siyu stubbornly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "I will definitely pay off this 10,000 taels of silver within a month!" ”

"Siyu, be obedient, it's impossible!"

Mother Chen knew her temper, so she had to persuade softly.

"Sister, don't be so stubborn, unless, unless you marry that Zuo Taishi!"

"Shut up!" Siyu was furious!

"Shut up!" Mother Chen was furious!

"Okay!"

Chen Yunzhi had no choice but to remain silent, he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

He was afraid that if he said more, he would be beaten by his sister and mother immediately.

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of gongs outside the door, dang, dang, dang, the gong struck quickly and loudly.

A voice rang out from outside the door.

"The villagers of Fenglong Town can listen well, the snitch who stole the treasury silver is wandering here, and those in the know will report it quickly!"

The snitch who stole the treasury silver!

In Chen Siyu's mind, the figure of the mysterious man in white suddenly appeared.

She didn't dare associate him with the theft of the treasury silver, but when it came to his skills, he resembled the Snitch.

Snitch, isn't it flying around!

As soon as she thought of this, suddenly there was a rude slamming sound outside the courtyard gate, "Open the door, open the door!" Come on! ”

Chen's mother, Siyu, and Yunzhi glanced at each other, not understanding why the tolerance of the snitch came to slam the door.

Siyu and his younger brother hurriedly ran to the front yard to open the door, and the broken wooden door was kicked and clanged.

Before she and her brother could open the door, the door was kicked down, and a few tolerances came in in the smoke.

Chen Siyu was very angry.

She really didn't understand why these people were so domineering, and there was no royal law in the end!

She was about to go up to theorize, but was suddenly pulled by her younger brother.

"Sister, don't, don't ......"

"No, no, I just can't bear it, I can't bear it........."

Chen Siyu was about to go up and beat her, but her brother's words made her extremely gentle.

"Sister, sister, Jinyiwei!"

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, come, come, come, please be careful, don't trip!"

Chen Siyu flickered, his eyes flashed, he only blinked a few times, and in an instant, he looked extremely cute.

The look of annoyance and cannibalism just now was swept away, as if it had never existed.

Because she saw the legendary embroidered spring knife, the flying fish suit!

Even the bull-headed and horse-faced in Yama's prison, the black and white impermanence of the soul is too gentle compared to them.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one was afraid of the brocade guards in the six doors!

"Have you seen this person?"

The brocade guard in the lead unfolded the portrait on the wanted notice.

"No, no, sir, I've never seen it!"

Chen Yunzhi hurriedly shook his head.

Chen Siyu was stunned.

"No?"

"Nope!"

"This portrait is here, if you see this person appear, report it immediately!"

The official's sharp reprimand made Yun Sik nod in fright.

Until those officials noticed Siyu, "Hey, you look strong enough, what?" Look at your expression, have you seen it? Say! ”
