Chapter 21: Capricious

In the morning, the first rays of sunlight shone on Siyu's face.

She was deep in thought.

It may be the reason for sleeping upside down, and this night, she slept extremely badly.

She was thinking about something very important.

How do you earn 10,000 taels of silver in a month?

Seeing that half a month had passed, she calculated carefully, if she added the less than four hundred taels of silver she earned the day before yesterday, she would only earn five hundred and twenty taels of silver at most.

Five hundred and twenty taels and ten thousand taels of silver are really too far apart!

What to do?

The letter of appointment has been issued, if you don't make up enough 10,000 taels of silver at the end of the month, I'm afraid that I can only marry Zuo Taishi and be accepted as the thirty-third concubine!

I heard that the Zuo Taishi was over eighty years old, and he was not yet eighteen years old, and he was just sixteen years old.

When Siyu thought that she was going to be a concubine for the eighty-year-old, white-bearded, white-haired, old-fashioned Taishi Zuo, who was afraid to walk and tremble, goosebumps suddenly appeared all over her body.

She thought a little narrowly, and the letter of appointment wanted to accept herself as the thirty-third aunt, indicating that he had married the thirty-second aunt.

Come to think of it, it's probably not easy for him!

But no matter what she thought, an ironclad fact lay before her.

That is, if the 10,000 taels of silver are not enough before the end of the month, she will definitely be carried into Zuofu in a small sedan chair.

At that time, as soon as I entered the waiting door, it was as deep as the sea, so that the sky should not be, and the earth was not spiritual.

No, never!

But can't you make it up?

My mother said that she would marry herself far away and leave this family!

But as soon as he leaves, what will happen to his brother and mother?

She has heard that the people in Leshantang are all ruthless!

From the behavior of the two scoundrels that night, we can see their usual style.

No, I can't go like this.

Otherwise, my brother and mother will be poisoned by them.

They can do anything.

She still heard about these things from her next-door neighbor Zhang Butcher.

There is a family across the street, and the male owner owes Leshantang a high gambling debt, leaving his wife and daughter, and the old mother's family ran away alone.

When he returned, he found that the family had all died tragically.

In fact, the government already knew that this was done by the people of Leshantang, and even if the bitter lord sued the county government, he only shirked the matter.

Despite this, the people of Nale Shan Tang still did not die to him.

It wasn't until he was forced to jump off a cliff and commit suicide that he was broken.

Leshantang has the protection of Taishi Zuo behind him, not to mention the small Fenglong City.

Even Changshan County, even the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, are fearless and domineering.

If you marry far away and leave only orphans and widows, how should you deal with it? Those vicious murderers.

It can be seen that this road is categorically impassable.

must save enough more than 10,000 silver before the end of the month, otherwise, he can only be accepted as a concubine by Zuo Taishi.

She had never seen it, and the Zuo Taishi above the court had only heard of it.

But that Zuo Mingzhu, she has really seen it.

The brutality and domineering appearance of her behavior still make her unforgettable.

Putting aside the Zuo Taishi, the old Long Zhong, the gray hair, the appearance is not to be talked about, even if he endures the disgusting and enters the Zuo Mansion.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before I will be tortured to death by that Zuo Mingzhu.

Because she already held a grudge against herself.

It seems like a dead knot that can never be untied.

However, she thought about it carefully, too, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, she didn't know if Zuo Mingzhu knew that her grandfather was going to take her as a concubine.

If she knew, Siyu guessed that Yi Zuo Mingzhu's personality would definitely be happy to see it.

Even if you think about it with your toes, you can guess how much Zuo Mingzhu hates herself.

thought that once he stepped into Zuofu, he was afraid that his life would be entrusted to others.

Thinking about Zuo Mingzhu, how could he let go of this opportunity to take revenge on her.

She only prayed silently, hoping that this matter would not be known to Zuo Mingzhu.

Siyu thought about it, but he couldn't think of any solution, and he lost his errand in the academy when he thought about it.

It is impossible for me to return to the academy. As a bookstore, this means that even the business of selling some pamphlets to those scholars and earning dozens of taels of silver has been smashed.

But in addition to being able to write, she can also draw, and apart from these two, she can't think of any other way, another way, to be able to get money.

What to do? What to do!

Siyu only felt a thousand clues, but he couldn't find a clue.

The brain of the straight thought hurts, and he buries a pretty face in the quilt, and there is nothing he can do.

She was even a little angry with herself, angry with that Shen Canglang, and disrupted all her plans.

And now all that is left for me is deep despair.

Is there only one way for me to marry into Zuofu and be tortured to death by Zuo Mingzhu?

The more Siyu thought about it, the more sad she felt in her heart, and thought, brother, you have made my sister miserable.

She was here in distress and couldn't think of a way out, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Siyu, that second son Shen came to see you, get up quickly, wash up, the bad guy rescued you that day, don't play with the child's temper anymore."

This was Mother Chen's soft urging of her, and she found that her mother had a very good impression of that second son of Shen.

I don't want my daughter to marry him! How is this possible, could it be that my mother would believe that Shen Gongzi, who has a prominent family background. Will you really leave everything behind for yourself?

Siyu thought that he had already seen through the faces of these eunuchs, but he was just teasing the daughters of poor families.

She has seen too many of this kind of things.

At this time, Shen Ergongzi still did not give up, and used his unique magnetic voice to shout Siyu's name outside the door.

"Chen Siyu, can you come out to meet? Let's come out and talk! ”

Siyu thought that if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have lost his errand in the academy.

He rushed out of the room at once, without combing his hair or washing his face.

is so lazy, casually go to see Shen Ergongzi.

After many days, Shen Canglang finally saw the person he liked, and deep in his heart, he was pounding.

I saw Siyu from a distance, just wearing a coarse dress and gauze skirt of white cloth given by others, long hair as messy as seaweed, a lazy expression, and a willful little mouth.

Suddenly, he rushed in front of him, and he was so scared that he retreated again and again.

Mother Chen was on the side, giving her a look all the time, and reprimanded her in a somewhat stern tone: "Siyu can't treat others like this, why don't you look like a girl at all, reserved, no!"

But at this time, Siyu was so troubled by the 10,000 taels of silver that his younger brother owed him that he didn't know how to deal with it.

With an extremely unfamiliar and sneering look, he looked at him and asked tentatively: "I said Shen Er Gongzi, aren't you tired of calling my name every day?"

Shen Canglang was a little shy, and said bluntly, not tired, when he said this, there was still a shy expression on his face.

His appearance like this, let Siyu see it, he was really angry.

Si Yu's eyes were cold, but Shen Canglang's eyes were extremely hot.

Mother Chen was on the side, watching coldly, and had already guessed the thoughts of Shen Ergongzi.

It seems that he did care about his daughter, ten minutes, thinking that if he could really marry Siyu and enter the Shen family, he would be able to avoid this flying disaster.

And he is just an old bone, and when the time comes, he will send his son Yunzhi far away to avoid trouble, even if he dies, he will be at ease.

At least Siyu has found a good home, and as for his unsuccessful son, he can only resign himself to fate.

This was originally his fault, and he should have borne it.

Mother Chen deliberately wanted to match Siyu and Shen Canglang.

But her daughter seemed to be puzzled.

I saw Siyu looking at the infatuated Shen Canglang coldly, and actually threw out such a sentence: "Son, if you really like me, please give me 10,000 taels of silver, don't ask why, if you can't take it, please leave."

Although Shen Canglang is the second son of the Shen family. However, the 10,000 taels of silver were not a small amount.

When he heard Siyu say this, he was stunned, and he didn't understand why his intended person suddenly opened his mouth to his lion?

Is it a dowry?

But in that case, the three media and six hires will not be their turn to speak.

In a hurry, Shen Canglang couldn't raise so many silver taels for a while, and when he was thinking hard, he didn't notice that Chen Siyu's eyes next to him had already cooled.

She snorted coldly: "No, don't bother me again!"

With that, he ran back to the house, and with a bang, closed the door, never to open it again.

Seeing this situation, Shen Canglang was a little confused, his expression was a little lonely, and he said to Chen's mother very sincerely: "Auntie, I really can't take out so much silver now, this 10,000 taels of silver is really not a small amount, at least I have to report to my father, please tell Siyu, I hope to forgive me more, if she is in a hurry, I will go to the counter of the Shen family's medicine store to withdraw it first, do you think this is good?"

Mother Chen fully understood why Chen Siyu wanted this ten thousand taels of silver, and she was already a little annoyed that Siyu was so difficult.

She was really worried that Siyu would scare people away like this, and she was unwilling to let her daughter lose the only chance to escape.

Chen's mother held back her anger and said softly to Shen Canglang: "My family Siyu, she is this temper, you can take care of it a little more, in fact, this is still that day, that rich lady, provoked her, you let her dissipate her anger first, but, don't care, I must say her well, this ten thousand taels of silver is a non-existent thing, you must not believe her, tomorrow, tomorrow, you must come, I will definitely let my Siyu say no to you in person, this is really sorry, she is too ignorant, I really hope you can take it, you know, my Siyu is usually very well-behaved, she is really not such a person, she has never taken money too seriously, don't take it to heart! ”
