When Shang Cheng was doing acupuncture treatment, Yue'er and Erya were not far from them.

The two girls set up a small square table in a sunny place under the dripping eaves, and the two of them sat at the table and talked about things. In fact, they didn't have anything to say, they just wanted to find a place to appear in Shang Cheng's sight, so as to attract the attention of the monk brother.

There are two pieces of paper on the small table, which are facsimiles drawn by Er Ya with a picture of the sea. A few days ago, the two of them pretended to be mysteriously muttering about maritime business in front of the monk's eldest brother, originally planning to use it as a bait and hook the monk's eldest brother to talk to them. But the eldest brother monk was suffering from a headache at the time, and he didn't ask a word from beginning to end, and he didn't know if he heard about them or not. After that, they didn't dare to say anything to him anymore to go to the sea. The most disgusting thing for the monk is the collusion between officials and businessmen. When Yue'er told him about this after he took down Liu Ji's warehouse, he was very angry and scolded Yue'er for crying. Afterwards, he not only forced Yue'er to withdraw her shares, but also ignored her for more than half a month, until Yue'er transferred all the share deeds to Gao Xiaosan.

Now, neither of them spoke. Yue'er lowered her head and carefully sewed a man's underwear. Er Ya took a small piece of sesame cake, broke it into pieces and threw it on the ground to tease the grass sparrow. Seven or eight grass finches circled around her in the ground to grab the crumbs; There were two bold guys who even jumped directly on the table with their wings fluttered, staring at the cake in her hand and chirping.

I don't know if I suddenly thought of something unhappy, Er Ya suddenly became angry and threw the rest of the cakes into the courtyard. The grass in the yard exploded violently, and then swooped down again......

Yue'er raised her head and glanced at her: What's wrong?

Erya hung her arms softly, rested her chin on the small table, opened a pair of listless beautiful eyes, and let out a long breath.

What else could it be? She turned white angrily, Yue'er glanced at each other, and it wasn't all because of that big log!

Big wood, this is the new nickname that Erya gave to the monk's eldest brother. Because the monk brother is so stupid, so stupid that it makes people cry sadly, if he is not a piece of wood, who else can be wood? She thought, even if it is a pig, she should know what she means when she came to Fangzhou, but this wooden man doesn't seem to know the truth, and after seeing her, in addition to asking "Why are you here", he pulled the topic to her father and brother, and even asked her sister more than she cared about her......

"Why did you come along?"

As soon as she thought of this cold sentence, she couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to shed tears. She desperately asked her father and mother to scold her, and secretly came to Fangzhou to see him, could it be that he didn't realize that she was good at all, so he would only say this kind of heartless words that made people sad and crying? Why did she come along? Why can't she come along, why can't she? She......

She sniffled vigorously, trying to hide the tears that were about to flow back. Her chin was still resting on the small table, and her big beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of sparkling moisture, staring blankly at the golden sunlight that had just shone through the clouds......

Erya is seventeen years old this year, and she is already a beautiful big girl. She was taller than her sister and her mother, taller than Yue'er, and plumper than them, but very well-proportioned, and not fat at all. Like her sister, she also has a pair of big eyes that seem to be able to speak, just like the endless flowing water in the girl river on Huojiabao, which is both clear and transparent. Because of the care and care of her father and sister, it is rare for her to think about something by herself since she was a child, so this girl woke up very late, and she still seemed to understand many things when she went to the year before last. At the end of the year before last, Huo Shiqi took her to Yanzhou to see Shang Cheng, before leaving home, her mother also told her a lot of things, but she coveted the novelty along the way, and before the carriage left Yi County, she forgot most of her mother's explanation, and only remembered a sentence "Men should marry and women should marry". She has heard this countless times since she was a child, and the reason is clear, isn't it her father who wants her to marry? Marry and marry. As for who she wants to marry, she doesn't have an idea about this matter herself. Her sister wanted to get her own idea, but didn't she stop her father in the end? Besides, she was raised by her father's mother, and she married whoever they wanted her to marry. Therefore, her father and mother wanted to marry her to the monk's eldest brother, and she did not object; In the end, she didn't get married, and she was not disappointed, she never thought about choosing a son-in-law for herself.

Her father was later recruited by the government to work in the Admiral's Mansion, and she stayed in Yanzhou with her. Soon, her mother also brought her sisters, sisters, and Yue'er Pan'er to Yanzhou together. She was very happy during that time. As soon as the whole family can finally be together in harmony again; secondly, she also has a companion, and she is no longer alone; Thirdly, the name of the second lady of her Huo family is getting bigger and bigger in Yanzhou City, not only can any high-walled mansion be in and out at will, but also occasionally when you don't have money at hand, you can also pay a few times on credit in the restaurant and song shop. The only one who makes her unhappy is her sister. Her sister used to be a cheerful character, but after living in her mother-in-law's house for two or three years, after coming back, she seemed to be a different person, with a bitter face all day long, and she was careful to talk at home, as if she was afraid of offending someone. She couldn't understand, this was in her own family, except for her father and mother, who were her sisters, all of whom she loved her relatives, who else were she afraid of offending?

Later, she gradually learned that her sister had suffered a lot in her in-law's family. She couldn't understand why the family had treated her sister like that; Her sister was such a nice person, why did they make her suffer? Because of what happened to her sister, she hated that family very much, and for a while, she even hated everyone who shared the same surname as that family.

The eldest girl lives in a courtyard with her, and the two sisters have a good relationship, and often sleep on a kang. She saw her sister's sorrow in her eyes. What happened to her sister also filled her heart with worries and fears for the future. She wondered if her future in-laws were in the same situation, would she fall into the same fate as her sister?

This will not work! She never imagined that her sister was so aggrieved, and she had to look at other people's faces before even saying a word and laughing; She must not follow her sister's old path! She felt that she had to find a good husband for herself! And it has to be done right away! Because she is seventeen years old, a matchmaker may come to the door at any time, and she may get married at any time.

As soon as she realized the urgency of this matter and thought of finding a good husband for herself, the shadow of the monk's eldest brother immediately appeared in her mind. The monk's eldest brother has a kind heart, a gentle temperament, and a strong and tenacious personality, which is exactly the kind of man she imagines her favorite to be. She fell in love with him almost immediately, and did not hesitate to reveal her thoughts to her mother. She thought that since the person she had chosen for herself was the same person that her father had chosen for her before, they would inevitably help her achieve her wish.

However, when her mother heard her blushing face and say what was on her mind, she told her in a sad tone that it was too late for her to understand and that her heart was not going to be as she wished. Her mother said: "If you had understood these truths this time last year, then your father and I would still be able to propose marriage with this cheekiness." Your eldest brother monk is not likely to say ruthless words for the sake of your father's affection. But it's not the same now......"

She thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out what her mother meant when she said "the situation is different". In the same place, it is her or her, and the eldest brother of the monk is still the eldest brother of the monk. The difference is that she is still her, but the eldest brother monk is no longer her eldest brother monk. She only realized now that Yue'er, Pan'er, and her sister and eldest girl, although everyone didn't say anything on their lips, they all pretended to be the same thing in their hearts, but the girl's family was thin-skinned, and no one was embarrassed to speak first.

But it's not a big deal. At least in the eyes of Erya, who is quite masculine in temperament, this really can't be regarded as a terrible thing. She blushed and thought, since everyone likes him, loves him and respects him, then let him all marry him home; That's a good thing. As the saying goes, "family and everything prospers", the sisters are together and Meimei do not quarrel or blush, indicating that the future Yixian merchants will be able to prosper and become a big family!

Just do it, she immediately told her sister and Yue'er and Pan'er her thoughts. Everyone blushed and didn't speak. Since it does not speak, it means that it does not object; Since there is no objection, it is all in favor; Since they all agreed, what should we do next, we have to come up with ideas together, how to make the monk understand everyone's mind, and what method should be used to make him agree?

Before they could come up with a plan, the outside began to spread the news about the monk's eldest brother and a bearded girl. Because the rumors said that there was a nose and eyes, she quickly believed it. She was very angry and persuaded everyone not to talk to the monk: let's not talk to him, leave him aside, he should naturally understand that he can't do things that make people angry!

However, things turned out to be unexpected. Not only did he not pay attention to their "threat", but he also took the bearded girl home. What made her grit her teeth even more was that he not only took the bearded girl home, but also brought home a singer. She was so angry by his demonstrative behavior that her lungs were about to explode, and if it wasn't for Yue'er, they were going to kick the two women out of the house at that time. What she couldn't bear the most was that Yue'er and Pan'er and her sister all said that they couldn't snub the two singers, and since they entered the door, they were the people of the merchant and arranged a courtyard for them, and assigned maids and maids...... Later, she heard that the matter of these two singers was not actually the original intention of the monk brother, but the instruction of Guo Biao. Because she was too angry with Guo Biao, she demoted Guo Biao by one generation. Hmph, who asked this person to follow others to respect her father as "Uncle Seventeen"? He deserves to be demoted!

Even so, she still couldn't get angry. She couldn't stand the fact that those two singers had stepped into the door of the merchant before her! Even if Sang Xiu and Zhennu walked through the small door in the backyard that night, that would not work!

Of course, she just said a few angry words in front of Yue'er and them. No matter how angry she was with Sang Xiu and Zhennu, she couldn't throw her anger on them, she couldn't do such a thing. Her anger can't be sprinkled on the monk's eldest brother. She respects him so much and loves him, how can she be angry with him? If it were possible, she wouldn't want him to suffer any grievances! She would rather fall off his horse for him, endure the pain of a headache for him, shave his head and prick a silver needle for him......

She lay on the table, frowning and thinking about it, and suddenly burst out laughing.

Yue'er had already mended a piece of clothing, and was twisting a line to compare the length, listening to her inexplicably laughing, she glanced at her suspiciously: What's wrong?

"Do you think he doesn't look like a real monk now?" Erya looked at Shang Cheng's back and whispered.

Yue'er glanced at it, almost unable to hold back her laughter. She lowered her head and coughed, and then glared at Erya fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense! ”
