Zhujia Courtyard is located near the east gate of the county seat, five miles away from Mafu.

Zhu Yingtai wore a red wedding dress and walked out of the door with the support of the personal maid Yinxin. Generally speaking, girls have to cry twice when they get married and go out to show their reluctance to their family and parents. But Zhu Yingtai didn't feel crying at all, this was another courtyard and not home, and Zhu Gongyuan and his wife didn't look reluctant, so they looked forward to sending their daughter to Ma's house smoothly.

The street has long been crowded with people, the Ma family is the largest gateway to Qiantang, and Ma Wencai is people's favorite Xiaolangjun, so there are too many people who come to watch the excitement, almost 10,000 empty alleys.

Some of them came to see the bride. Ma Wencai is handsome and chic, both civil and military, what kind of bride will he marry? The bride wears a red hijab and can't see her face, but her body is enchanting, graceful, and walks like a weak willow supporting the wind, and she is a rare beauty in the world at a glance. There is an unmarried little lady whose eyes are suddenly full of tears, I don't say it, people Zhu Yingtai is really good-looking, and her family background is good, so go home and cry if she can't compare to others.

There are also some people who come to see the dowry. The Zhu family is the richest man in Jiangnan, how many things will be accompanied, the dowry must be very beautiful.

A hundred ox carts were drawn for the dowry. The 30 cars were loaded with daily necessities, what to wear, what to wear, what to cover, cover, play, you name it. Fifty carts were carrying treasure chests, all filled with silver, and a conservative estimate was 200,000 taels. In the last twenty cars sat the maids and daughters-in-law, who, like the previous items, were also dowries. was given away as a thing, some people cared about their gloomy looks, and some people still talked and laughed, and they didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhu Yingtai sat in a sedan chair carried by four people, the sedan chair was bumpy and undulating, and her mood was also up and down. On the one hand, she looked forward to Shanbo coming to save her, but she was afraid that the Ma family would suffer if Shanbo came. Besides, how to save it, tens of thousands of people in Qiantang belong to the Ma family, and the city gates are under martial law, even if there are nine sisters to help, there is nothing they can do!

As the sedan chair marched towards Mafu, Zhu Yingtai's mind flashed one after another, remembering all kinds of past with Shanbo.

Grass bridge encounter, eight worships.

The college has been in the same bed for three years. During the day, they go to class and play together, and at night, they read together, admire the moon and watch the stars.

Eighteen miles to send each other. The love is deep and long, and the private life is long.

Make a big fuss about Zhujiazhuang, love is stronger than gold, and it will be unswerving for life.

Zhu Yingtai's ears vaguely sounded the words of Shanbo, "Live well, I will definitely marry you in two years!" ”。 But, Uncle Shan, God is so ruthless that he didn't give us two years at all, and it was only less than half a year before he came to ask for my life! ”

The sedan chair finally arrived in front of the Ma Mansion, and a large number of people poured out of the Ma family to take the bride into the door.

Zhu Yingtai didn't get out of the sedan chair, and called the housekeeper Zhu Gui and said, "Go back and tell the old lady and let them come to see each other for the last time." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yingtai's expression was serious and his tone was so cold that the old housekeeper knew that things were not good, so he hurriedly sent someone back to deliver the letter.

"Why doesn't the bride get out of the sedan chair? What's going on? ”

The people outside were waiting anxiously, noisy and shouting, and the front of the door was also crowded.

Ma Yunhai and Ma Wencai hurriedly came to the door when they heard the news, and just saw Zhu Gongyuan and his wife hurrying over.

Zhu Gongyuan ran out of breath, his face was blue with anger, and he pointed to the sedan chair and said: "Yingtai, it's this time, don't make any more trouble, hurry up and go to the church, you are an adult, and you have to live a good life with Wencai." ”

As soon as the sedan curtain was lifted, Zhu Yingtai stepped down from the sedan chair, looked at Zhu Gongyuan and his wife coldly, and said to Ma Yunhai and his son: "Ma Wencai, I don't like you, and you don't like me either." Marrying you is not only my calamity, but also your misfortune. I won't set foot in the door of your Ma family today. ”

Ma Yunhai saw that the ox cart with the dowry had entered the Ma Mansion through the side door, looked at Zhu Yingtai with contempt, and did not speak.

"Yingtai, that's enough, don't make any more trouble! The face of the Zhu family has been lost by you, aren't you enough! Zhu Gongyuan said angrily.

"Father, I just want to ask you, am I your own child? Why do you insist that I marry into the Ma family regardless of my life or death, why? Could it be that the reputation of the Zhu family is more important than my life? Zhu Yingtai asked unwillingly with tears in his eyes.

"Child, in front of the family, anyone is insignificant. Without a family, who will protect us; Without a family, we are nothing, not even beggars. Therefore, in order to protect the interests of the family, anyone has to make sacrifices, even lives. Zhu Gongyuan said bitterly.

"Father, I'd rather than wish my family, you let me live!" Zhu Yingtai suddenly knelt at Zhu Gongyuan's feet, hugged his legs and cried.

Everyone looked at Zhu Yingtai with pity, Yinxin was already so frightened that she couldn't speak, and some women were secretly wiping their tears. It turns out that this high-ranking family, although it is not worrying about eating and drinking, is not as beautiful as imagined.

Wang Shu stood behind the crowd with an angry face, hum, can the marriage contract be destroyed casually, there is a noise in front of the house, where is the face? Such a woman is too shameless, where did the three from the four virtues go?

Huan Ji looked at Zhu Yingtai with a painful face, although this woman was crying, she was soft and weak, and the pear blossoms brought rain, which was beautiful. He wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Xi Chao.

The bride is still noisy in front of the door if she doesn't enter the door, Ma Yunhai feels that her face can't be hung up, why does it seem that our Ma family forced you to come? The reputation of forced marriage is not good!

Seeing that the time was coming, Ma Yunhai urged: "In-laws, the auspicious time has arrived, and we can't delay it any longer." ”

Zhu Gongyuan said solemnly to the few healthy women next to him: "What are you waiting for, hurry up and help the young lady to go into the church to get married!" ”

"I don't! I won't die! ”

Zhu Yingtai stood up suddenly, and took out a pair of scissors from his arms and put them on his chest.

"Don't move me, I'll die right away to show you the door."

Everyone was so frightened that they opened their mouths wide and did not dare to speak, the streets were silent, and several healthy women did not dare to move again.

"Yingtai, my daughter, don't seek death!" Zhu Yingtai's mother, Teng, cried and pounced to snatch the scissors from Yingtai's hand.

"Don't touch me! You are not my biological parents. How can there be biological parents in the world who want to force their daughter to death? Zhu Yingtai cried so much that his eyes were red and swollen, and his voice was hoarse. Everyone felt uncomfortable when they heard this, and they couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

Teng's lips twitched twice, but he couldn't say anything.

"If you want me to live, let me go back. Let me worship unless I carry my body in! Zhu Yingtai said decisively.

"Zhu Gongyuan, getting married is a lifelong event, and this auspicious time can not be delayed. It's unlucky to delay, it will bring no disaster to the family! Ma Yunhai saw that the auspicious time was about to pass, so he was so anxious that he began to stomp his feet.

"Yingtai, go back today, tomorrow our Zhujia will become the biggest laughing stock in the world. The crowd is full of gold, and the bones are destroyed! It will be difficult for the Zhu family to gain a foothold in Jiangnan from now on. For the sake of the fathers and elders of the family, my father has to be sorry for you, and today you have to worship and marry whether you are dead or alive! ”

Zhu Yingtai opened his eyes, the corners of his eyes cracked and flowed blood, needless to say, such a father is too ruthless. I hope that in the next life, I will not be born in this inhumane scholar family, and I will no longer have such hard-hearted parents!

Yingtai raised the scissors high and shouted in his mouth: "Ask the world, what is love?" Teach life and death to make a promise! Shanbo, Shanbo, you and I can't be the same in life, and we must be in the same hole in death. This is going to the underworld, Yingtai does not drink Meng Po soup, but there is waiting for you on the bridge, see you or leave! ”
