Chapter 291: It's too bullying

Today is a good day, the sun has been shining for several days, although the snow on the ground has not melted, but the warm sun shines on people, but it makes the pedestrians on the road very comfortable.

Tinglan was already sitting in a sedan chair, but after walking on the road for most of the day, she suffocated in it, so she got off the sedan chair and sat on Tomson's donkey. Then let the porters go first and report to Sun Dan.

Today's Tinglan is dressed very plainly, with only a floral moon blue placket jacket on her body, which doesn't look very eye-catching. Sun Dan has an income of several thousand taels of silver every month in the Lu family's money village, and he himself has a net worth of more than 100,000 taels, and he is also a wealthy person in the capital. However, although Sun Dan loves money, his life is very simple, at least in the eyes of outsiders. Sun Dan doesn't like silk and satin, and he only wears a blue "color" official uniform on formal occasions, and he is a cotton shirt on weekdays, and he doesn't seem to be a person with a huge net worth at all.

As for the mother of the Sun Mansion, because she is a person who is used to living a hard life, she is also thrifty every day, and she does not wear gold, silver, pearls, and emeralds, and usually has only one hobby: saving money.

If something is good, it will be effective. The master's house is so simple that the subordinates dare not overstep it. Subordinates like Ting Lan, who are like Mrs., are also dressed simply.

Tinglan also complained in private, and her family was poor in the past and didn't talk about it. Now the master is also a rich and noble person, and there is no shortage of those few pieces of jewelry and silk at home, why is he reluctant to take them out and use them? Nowadays, the people in Sun Dan's mansion have a lot of food and clothing, but the former Huichang Marquis Sun's family is doing well, and the lord throws a lot of silver every month, but those surnamed Sun take a lot of advantage.

Tinglan didn't know that Sun Dan didn't advocate simplicity, but he was not used to wearing silk clothes, and that thing was worn close to his body as if it was snot, and he was uncomfortable. It is still good to wear cotton clothes, which are gentle and soft, and there is no static electricity.

It's just that Sun Dan didn't realize that his personal hobby actually affected everyone in the house.

Although Tinglan is dressed simply, her slender figure sits on a "wool" donkey, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her long legs are amazingly slender, and the whole person is like a small blue "color" flower that is blooming in the snow, so bright that people can't open their eyes.

This is the first time Tinglan has gone to Fangshan, she thought that Fangshan was on the edge of Beijing City, but she didn't expect that it would be a morning after leaving, and she hadn't arrived yet, so she didn't feel a little irritable in her heart: "Tomson, how far is it from Fangshan County?" ”

"Sister, it's almost here, this is the sixth time you've asked this question, are you annoyed?" Leading the "Mao" donkey is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man, with good facial features and a slender figure, and he is actually a rare beautiful man. There is a bit of Ting Lan's appearance in his eyebrows, but unlike Ting Lan's bitterness and deep scheming, he looks very honest and a little shy to people who are not familiar with him.

"Stinky temper, you're about to get married, why are you still like a child, when will you grow up?" Tinglan "touched" Tomson's head with pity, and said: "Father and mother died early, you and I have been separated for many years, and now we are finally reunited, and now I have finally told you a family matter, and I, as a sister, finally have an explanation to my parents." When you become a parent, let your brother-in-law find you a position in Fangshan, and you can have three meals a day. ”

That's right, this young man named Tomson is Tinglan's younger brother. The two sisters and brothers were separated during the "chaos" of Huanhui, perhaps because of their own providence in the dark, and the two sisters and brothers also thought of going north to Zou Pingxian's relative Tang Pozi, but Tinglan arrived in Shandong one step ahead of Tom Chen.

Unlike her sister, who suffered a lot of filth from Tang Pozi, when Tomson came to Shandong, Tinglan had already followed Sun Dan.

Sun Dan is now just a seventh-grade official, and he is nothing in the capital at all. But Zou Ping is a great man, so after Tomson arrived at Tang Pozi, not only did he not suffer any hardships, but was carefully cared for by Tang Pozi as a strange product.

After Tinglan received the letter from Tang Pozi, she knew that her long-lost brother had finally been found, and she was so excited that she couldn't help crying, and immediately sent Jingji Jingxiang's brothers back to Zouping to take Tomson back to Beijing. Of course, Tang Pozi also got twenty taels of food.

"I'm not going to Fangshan." Tomson said this sullenly.

"What's the matter, isn't it good to go to Fangshan?" Ting Lan was a little surprised: "Your brother-in-law is now the magistrate of Fangshan, and recently several masters in Fangshan and the officials below have been replaced, and you went to make up for a vacancy." ”

"What can I do when I go, I'm illiterate, won't I add chaos to Master Sun when I go?" Tomson bowed his head and led the donkey.

"It's a problem that you can't read, but even if you can't be a master, it's always okay to be a team leader, and you can always have dozens of taels of entries every year." Tinglan persuaded her younger brother.

"I'm not going." Tomson didn't say a reason, just walked forward.

Tinglan was a little annoyed: "Something that has no interest, I think you are reluctant to bear the prosperity of the capital and refuse to come to Fangshan to endure hardships." At the beginning, your brother-in-law's life was hard, but people are not rich and glorious. No pain, no gain. Don't worry about me all the time, tell you, although I am in charge now, I have to avoid suspicion, and I will not find a way for you. ”

Tomson ate his sister's scolding, and shed tears aggrievedly: "Sister, who am you, am I the kind of person who eats white things?" I fled all the way from the south to the capital, and I was so hungry that I ate everything, the bark and grass roots, the leftover soup and water from others, as long as I could eat it, I gritted my teeth and swallowed it into my stomach. I've survived such a hard time, and I'm still afraid of hardship?

Hearing Tomson say this, Tinglan remembered that he was his only younger brother, and he had suffered so much in the past two years, and his heart was sour. Secretly said: My "sex" is also stronger, and when I see people who don't like me, it's a reprimand. After all, it's his own brother, but his tone can't be so hard.

She sighed: "What do you have to say to me, they are all born of a mother, are they still hidden?" ”

Seeing that his sister's tone had softened, Tomson said timidly, "I'...... I want to farm. ”

Tinglan burst out laughing: "It's a worthless thing, it's okay, when you become a relative, my sister will buy you a few acres of land with herself." ”

Tomson became happy at this time: "I heard that my brother-in-law is going to spin silk on a loom in Fangshan, I have raised silkworms in my hometown for so many years, and I am already familiar with it, so it should come in handy." ”

"Let's go, if you want to plant mulberry, I won't stop you, but everything will have to wait until you become a parent." Ting Lan smiled: "Zhou Xinshu is also enthusiastic, and he even wants to find a matchmaker to tell you about his marriage, and his daughter has just gotten married." said that we would meet in the city and then go to the woman's house, let's hurry up and go over, don't let people wait. ”

That's right, today is the day when Tinglan's younger brother Tomson goes on a blind date. Originally, according to the customs of Fangshan, it was necessary to bring a pile of dowry gifts to the door to propose marriage, so as not to lose the dignity of the Sun family. It's a pity that Sun Dan heard this and said: "It's better to let the men and women meet first, and they both take a fancy to each other, and then give a dowry." What if we make them a parent, what if Tomson doesn't like that woman, what if the woman looks crooked and cracked? ”

Sun Dan's words were not in line with etiquette, but Tinglan listened to it, and thought about it, this is the truth! The younger brother is his own younger brother, what if the woman is not to his liking?

Therefore, everything is simple, and it is not a matter of hiring. Her sister personally took her younger brother to visit someone, and the other party was just a small family anyway, so she didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, Ting Lan also knew that he was a bit of a bully in doing this, but once he was in power, he would do it. Sun Dan's brother-in-law fell in love with the daughter of that family, which was their blessing, just go and see it.

Originally, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, after the magistrate took office, he was not allowed to bring his family, so Sun Dan did not bring Zhiniang to Fangshan, and Sun Jia took care of his daily life. But Sun Jia is now in Suzhou, and she won't come back until half a month later.

Now, Tinglan is nominally taking her younger brother on a blind date, but in fact, she has no intention of reuniting with Sun Dan by the way.

As soon as she thought of seeing Sun Dan, Tinglan's heart suddenly fluttered in a 'chaotic' jump, and she didn't have the heart to talk to Tom Chen, she lowered her head and thought about it, and let her younger brother lead the donkey in front of her to walk towards Fangshan.

After walking for a while, his body was also hot from the sun, and he walked to the place of Wuli Pavilion. Ten miles of a long pavilion, five miles of a short pavilion, to here, has been vaguely able to see the city of Fangshan County.

The sedan chair bearer had already run away, and it was estimated that he had already entered the city. Perhaps, in a few moments, Sun Dan will send someone to pick him up.

The donkey also walked sweating, and Tomson had always lived in the south, and had never seen any big animals except for buffaloes. Now leading this yelling donkey, the baby is very good, so naturally he refuses to let this beast suffer, so he said: "Sister, let's rest in the pavilion." Hey, there's someone in the gazebo. ”

Tinglan looked up, but it was the matchmaker that the Zhou family helped her find, as if her surname was Jin.

Ting Lan was surprised in her heart: "Mrs. Jin, why are you here?" Then he walked and jumped down on the donkey.

Tomson hurriedly welcomed his sister into the gazebo and wiped the railing with his sleeve.

Tinglan didn't sit down.

The matchmaker surnamed Jin saw that it was Tinglan and said, "It turned out to be Madame, I was about to go to the city to find you, and I happened to meet here, go quickly, go quickly, something happened." ”

As he spoke, he reached over to Latinlan.

How could Ting Lan let the woman's hand touch her, and the handkerchief in her hand waved away the hand of the golden woman: "What's the matter, what's going on?" ”

Mrs. Jin said angrily: "Something happened, the old lady of the woman surnamed Song who I was the matchmaker for you was beaten and is still lying in bed." It's too bullying, and it actually bullied Master Sun, this thing can't be endured. I was about to go into the city to tell Master Sun and ask him to make decisions for the Song family! I didn't expect to meet Mrs. here, madam, or you will follow me to grow the ambition for the family surnamed Song. ”
