When the voice fell, I saw the bamboo curtain lifted, and a thirty-year-old woman with a little fortune appeared in front of the door. This woman is also delicate, but her triangular eyes are quite disliked. She was wearing a ninety-percent new pink dress, although it was not very luxurious, but it was several times better than Zhang Ke and Xiao Shiyun's dress.

"I'm sorry, mother! I'll go! When Xiao Shiyun saw the woman appear, she hurriedly shrunk her neck, agreed, and ran to the stove not far away.

"Such a big person comes, don't talk about eating idle meals at home, and letting you do something is also a slippery and foolish thing! It's better to find a mother-in-law to marry quickly, so that Jun'er can exchange some money to study, so that he can be born in the future, and don't be as despicable as his old son! The woman looked at Xiao Shiyun's back as she left in a hurry, her voice was a little sharper, and her words were even more ugly, which made Xiao Shiyun's heart tremble.

"Did you say enough?" Zhang Ke threw the towel into the wooden basin, and the water splashed wet his clothes. He looked at the woman angrily, his chest rising and falling violently with anger.

"The surname is Zhang, what are you doing to me, am I not right? The girl from another family married a wife at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and when she was sixteen or seventeen, the child could run and jump, Xiao Shiyun was sixteen years old, but she still stayed at home and had nothing to do, eating idle meals! The woman's triangular eyes were upside down, and her face was hideous, and she scolded loudly.

"Shut up!" Zhang Ke kicked the wooden basin over, his eyes were about to split, and he trembled and shouted: "You woman, you are arrogant, if you dare to say more than half a word, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between husband and wife and divorce you!" ”

"Okay, you Zhang Ke, you actually divorced me for that little girl? I've had a good day since I married you, and you're going to take a break now! Jun'er, let's go! Let your poor ghost father go with that wild girl! Hum! The woman burst into a thunderous outburst, and her shrill voice seemed to pierce her eardrums.

"Woo-"

An eight- or nine-year-old boy just went out and saw the woman's fierce and vicious appearance, and he was so frightened that he burst into tears, so he was not sad.

"What are you crying about, your father doesn't want your mother to ask you, pack up your things, let's go!" Seeing her son crying, the woman's already irritable and angry mood was even worse, and she slapped the boy in the face and scolded her.

The child's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at his mother in horror, but Nuo Nuo did not dare to speak, and his face turned pale.

"Pan Ling, you poisonous woman, the child is still young, what are you doing beating him!" Zhang Ke looked at the red palm prints on the child's Zhang Jun's face, and suddenly scolded angrily.

The woman named Pan Ling sneered and shouted without concession: "He is my son, it is natural for me to beat him, can you control it?" What are men like you, poor ghosts who can't even support their wives and children, still alive in the world! ”

"You, you-" Zhang Ke's face turned red with anger, he couldn't say a word, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

"Dad, mother, don't quarrel anymore, I'll marry, I'm willing to marry Huang Gongzi, I just ask you to stop arguing and live a good life!" Xiao Shiyun shouted at Zhang Ke and Pan Ling, dropped the rice spoon in her hand, turned her head and ran out of the door, leaving a string of crystal tears under the beautiful sunset.

Xiao Shiyun is as beautiful as a flower and has a gentle heart, which is famous in ten miles and eight towns. Since the age of thirteen, the people who come to be matchmakers every year almost break the threshold. But three years have passed, whether the man is a businessman on the rich side or a dignitary in the imperial court, Zhang Ke has always refused. Why? Xiao Shiyun is the dignity of a dignified princess, how can she marry an ordinary ordinary man.

In fact, as soon as Xiao Shiyun was born, her fate was sealed, Xiao Yue would not recognize her ominous daughter, and she would not enjoy the respect of the princess. Pan Ling knows this, Zhang Ke knows it, and Xiao Shiyun also knows it.

Because of this, for so many years, Xiao Yue has never taken the initiative to visit Xiao Shiyun, a daughter who is living outside the palace, nor has she given any convenience or compensation to Zhang Ke and his wife, who raised her. Thinking that Xiao Yue, as the Emperor of Later Liang, is prosperous and rich, with fine clothes and fine food, while Zhang Ke and his wife live a poor and embarrassing life, it is no wonder that Pan Ling has such a big complaint about Xiao Shiyun.

The reason why Zhang Ke didn't let Xiao Shiyun take his surname was that he actually felt that Xiao Shiyun was Xiao Yue's daughter after all, and she would one day return to the palace and restore her identity. Therefore, Zhang Ke has always doted on Xiao Shiyun very much, even surpassing his son, and he has taught him all his knowledge.

Pan Ling asked Zhang Ke to go to the palace dozens of times to ask for payment, but Zhang Ke never refused to go. Zhang Ke is a scholar, a little pedantic, but also a little arrogant, he doesn't want to rely on nepotism to make a fortune, how can he pull down his face to seek Xiao Yue's help. For this reason, Zhang Ke quarreled with Pan Ling and his wife many times.

Especially after beating Xiao Shiyun at the age of thirteen, Pan Ling's resentment towards her became heavier, and her home almost became a stage, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, and she was not at ease.

Now that Zhang Jun has reached the age of studying in private school, it happened that last year, Zhang Ke's family's field was flooded again, and life became more and more difficult. Pan Ling's desire to marry Xiao Shiyun became stronger and stronger, but Zhang Ke still strongly opposed it.

In the New Year, the son of the Huang County Ling family came to the town to play, and when he saw Xiao Shiyun's beauty, he was shocked, and when he went back, he begged Lao Tzu to kiss him. Five days ago, the people of the county order came to admit the appointment.

That Huang County Ling looks gentle and charitable on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is greedy and cunning, ruthless, and his son is full of gentleness, spending all day drinking, fighting cocks and walking dogs, not learning and no skills, only sixteen years old, the concubine alone has married no less than ten rooms, and there are countless women who have been played with by him. It's just that Huang County's order covers the sky in the county seat, and there are people in Jiangling City, so others naturally can't help him.

Zhang Ke didn't care how he got the Huang County Order, and rejected the marriage on the spot. But in the next few days, there were constant troubles, and the land guards in the township came to him all day long, not to mention bad luck, and even the linen cloth woven by Pan Ling and Xiao Shiyun could not be sold at the municipal level, and all the linen cloth was confiscated by the officials.

There are abnormalities and demons, Zhang Ke naturally knows that all this is a ghost caused by Huang County Ling, and Huang County Ling is a smiling tiger, and he has always liked to be a yin person behind his back. Zhang Ke was angry and very irritable, but when he returned home, Pan Ling was so rude, which really made him extremely angry.

"Yun'er! Yun'er! Zhang Ke hurriedly called, but Xiao Shiyun ran away in the blink of an eye. Zhang Ke was angry, and immediately scolded Pan Ling: "Are you satisfied now?" How could I marry such a shrew as you who cares about money! Get out! ”

"Do I value money as my life? Zhang Ke, you don't even have a lot of money, you can't even support your wife and children, what kind of man are you! Look at your nest, no wonder you have been squeezed out of officialdom and have done nothing for the rest of your life! Pan Ling did not show weakness, she scolded with her teeth and claws, and her voice spread dozens of meters away, so frightened that the neighbors closed the door and hid in the house.

Zhang Ke was silent for a moment, if a man can't shoulder the responsibility of the family, it is undoubtedly the greatest shame, especially for a person like him who is knowledgeable and attaches great importance to dignity. Zhang Ke clenched his fists tightly, his teeth clenched, looked up at the sky, and didn't say a word for a long time.

……

Xiao Shiyun sobbed all the way and ran all the way, with no direction or goal, just simply venting her inner grievances and pain.

Originally, she didn't know her true identity, until a few years ago, when there was no food at home, and Zhang Ke and his wife quarreled, she realized that she was actually the daughter of Emperor Xiaoming. However, Xiao Shiyun did not feel lucky and happy about this, and some were just endless pain and grievances.

It is not so much that she was fostered in her uncle Zhang Ke's house, but that she was abandoned by her father. What child can accept the fact that he or she has been abandoned by his parents?

For Pan Ling, Xiao Shiyun does not have much resentment. After all, she has reached the age of sixteen, and when she reaches the age of marriage, staying at home is undoubtedly a drag on the family. What girl is not pregnant with spring and is willing to entrust her life to a stubborn person who is useless?

Xiao Shiyun kept speeding up her running, just wanting to vent all the grievances in her heart, and under the soft sunset, the tears she left in the air were more crystal clear than pearls.

I don't know when, Xiao Shiyun finally felt that her strength was exhausted, the tears in the corners of her eyes were also dried, and a beautiful ribbon appeared in front of her, shining under the sunset. But before she knew it, she had come to the river, to the big rock five days ago.

For some reason, Xiao Shiyun suddenly remembered the friend of her younger brother Xiao Yu, handsome and chic happy, her heart trembled, and her pretty face was a little blushing, but she soon sighed in frustration, looking at the sparkling river and stunned.

Just when Xiao Shiyun felt sorry for her pitiful fate in front of the Yangtze River, a rush of footsteps woke her up. Xiao Shiyun immediately turned her head to look, and saw a young man in his twenties, with only one eye, striding towards him.

The man was dressed in a tight-fitting blue coat and held a long sword in his hand, although he looked handsome, the anger on his body could be felt from afar, especially the eyes in his single eye, which made Xiao Shiyun panic and fear.

Xiao Shiyun clutched the shirt on her side tightly with her hands, but her face showed a calm and calm look, looking at the young man quietly, but she was extremely vigilant in her heart.

The young man stood five meters away in front of Xiao Shiyun, looked at her with an amazed expression and said, "Ah, I wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sunset, but I didn't expect to see a fairy who eclipsed the heavens and the earth, it is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

After a pause, a smile appeared on the face of the young man who thought he was elegant, and he said in a gentle voice: "This beautiful young lady is invited, in Xia Pan Linfeng, the people in the rivers and lakes call the jade-faced little Pan An, and you haven't asked the name of the young lady yet?" Saying that, Du Mu's young man gave a gift, if he didn't only have one eye, he could be regarded as a beautiful son.

"It turned out to be Pan Shaoxia, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Xiao Shiyun returned the salute, and then said: "Pan Shaoxia wants to enjoy the scenery, so the little woman will not bother and say goodbye!" After speaking, Xiao Shiyun moved lightly and walked to the side. Now that twilight is approaching, the person in front of him still doesn't know good and evil, and I'm afraid that there will be any danger if he stays any longer.

"Miss, are you leaving?" Pan Linfeng raised his eyebrows and said with some loss, but the only remaining eye was scanning Xiao Shiyun's slender body, which made the latter disgusted for a while.

"It's not early, I'm going home late, I'm afraid my father and mother will scold!" Xiao Shiyun's footsteps don't stop.

"Miss, why don't I send you home!" Pan Linfeng stopped in front of Xiao Shiyun with a dodge, fortunately she stopped quickly, otherwise she would have crashed into Pan Linfeng's arms.

"Fragrant, so fragrant! You are the most beautiful and fragrant beauty I have ever seen! Pan Linfeng sniffed greedily, with an intoxicated look on his face, and his language was very frivolous.

"Pan Shaoxia, please respect yourself!" Xiao Shiyun's face flashed with a gloomy color, and she took a few steps back in a row and opened up the distance.
