Chapter 5: Retribution, Retribution
What do you mean by 'not enough to achieve, more to lose'? Steward Xu is a typical example, just before Zhou Chong came and was happy to clear the Song family's debts, at this time Steward Xu shrank and rolled up, and then told Zhou Chong that when he went to get the marriage book just now, he met the eldest lady Bang'er, and he told the other party about the Song family's divorce, but after hearing this, Bang'er covered her face and cried and ran to the back garden, Steward Xu was worried that something would happen to her, so when the Song father and son left, he immediately told it.
The girls of the Ming Dynasty married early, and their hearts were also very precocious, such as Bang'er was only thirteen years old, but in fact, her psychological age was about the same as that of the girls of sixteen or seventeen in later generations, and she could already be regarded as most adults. However, sexual maturity is not necessarily a good thing, such as today's incident, Bang'er fully understands the impact of divorce on her life, and even for a young girl, it is like the sky is falling, no wonder she is sad.
Originally, Zhou Zhong was going to hide this matter from Bang'er first, after all, after their father died, they couldn't marry for three years as children, so Bang'er shouldn't have noticed this matter in a short time, but he didn't expect Steward Xu's broken mouth to be bad, and now after Bang'er knows about this matter, God knows what Lu Dao will cry like?
Steward Xu also knew that he was wrong, and while talking, he rubbed his mouth, and Zhou Chong didn't bother to scold him anymore, so he turned around and ran towards the back garden.
The Songjiang Mansion where the Zhou family is located is the Shanghai of the later generations, which is not very far from Suzhou and Hangzhou, so the architectural style is also more inclined to the south, such as the garden of the Zhou family, in fact, it is the garden style of the south, the pavilions and pavilions in the garden, the rockery pond is everything, although some of the valuable rockery stones were pulled outside by Zhou Zhong and sold, so that the vision in the garden is much more open, but most of them are still winding and deep, a person hides here, it is really not easy to find.
Zhou Zhong was worried that the bracelet would not be able to think of it, and then do something stupid, after all, the divorce was put on a girl in the Ming Dynasty, which was no different from being divorced. In later generations, some little girls may commit suicide because they don't finish their homework, and although Bang'er is precocious, I'm afraid she can't afford this kind of blow.
It is precisely because of this that after Zhou Zhong ran to the back garden, he immediately began to look for bracelets in the garden like crazy, especially some more 'dangerous' places such as ponds and bushes, which were the focus of his search.
Seeing this familiar and strange sister in front of him, the panting Zhou Zhong was also very heartbroken, Zhou Chong was a nerd before, in his heart, there was nothing worth his attention except reading, and he naturally didn't care much about the two sisters, which made the relationship between the brothers and sisters a little cold.
However, when Zhou Chong woke up from a coma, the first thing he saw was Bang'er's crying pear blossom with rain's little face, and even when Zhou Chong knew that he had crossed over, he once thought that Bang'er was his maid or child daughter-in-law or something, and it was not until later that he knew that Lu Daokong was happy.
In his previous life, Zhou Chong's parents died early, and he had no relatives at home, which made him particularly eager for family affection. Therefore, after the crossing, Zhou Zhong also attached great importance to the relatives around him, especially for the two lovely sisters, which can almost be said to be doting. Although Zhou Chong's huge change made the people of the Zhou Mansion feel very strange, at least in Bang'er's opinion, this brother is much better than the cold brother before, so in just a few days, Zhou Chong re-established the position of brother in Bang'er's heart, and the relationship between the two brothers and sisters naturally became very close.
I saw that Zhou Chong finally calmed down his violent breathing, and then walked over gently, deliberately saying in a joking tone: "Yo~, why did our Miss Zhou cry again, last time I was sick, who promised me not to cry again?" ”
Although the relationship between Zhou Chong and Bang'er was cold, but after all, it was a brother and sister relationship, when Zhou Zhong was seriously ill and in a coma, Bang'er couldn't help crying every time he saw him, and then Zhou Chong woke up, and the distance between the two was much closer, and Zhou Chong also bet with Bang'er that as long as she stopped crying, her illness would get better, at first Bang'er didn't believe it, but in order to make her brother happy, so she agreed, and the next time she saw him, she couldn't help but cry, but she didn't expect Zhou Chong's body to really get better, This made Bang Er surprised and delighted, and vowed that she would never cry again.
It's just that Bang'er's oath obviously failed to fulfill his wish, not long after Zhou's serious illness improved, first his father Zhou Hai was killed, and now he encountered such a thing as the Song family's divorce, how can this make Bang'er not sad and cry?
The crying bracelet heard Zhou Chong's voice, not only did not stop crying, but cried even more, which made Zhou Chong a little strange, and immediately stepped forward to support the bracelet's shoulder, but he didn't expect to be thrown away by the bracelet as if angry.
It's really strange next week, because he can feel from these actions that the Qi of the bracelet seems to be coming at him? This made Zhou Chong a little puzzled, so he had to ask again: "What's the matter, is it that the eldest brother has offended us somewhere, or I apologize to you, okay?" ”
Hearing the words, the bracelet that had been lying on the swing finally reacted, only to see her raise her little face full of tears and glared at Zhou Chong, her white and tender little hands wiped her tears indiscriminately, and said with grievances: "How can my brother be wrong, the so-called eldest brother is the father, since my father died, my brother is the head of our Zhou family, even if he sells the bracelet for two hundred taels of silver, the bracelet will not have any complaints, let alone just a marriage?" ”
Hearing Bang'er's complaint, Zhou Chong came to his senses, thinking that men and women really think differently, and Bang'er was angry with himself because of this, but if he put himself in Bang'er's shoes and thought about it, Zhou Zhong could also understand Bang'er's mood.
Thinking of this, I saw Zhou Zhong squatting down, and after looking at the bracelet sitting on the swing, he said with a serious face: "Bracelet, big brother apologizes to you for this matter first!" But you have also seen the behavior of the father and son of the Song family, something has just happened to our family, and they turned their faces and did not recognize people, where is this kind of villain worthy of our family's bracelet, so even if they don't withdraw from the marriage today, the eldest brother will retire your family business another day, but the eldest brother is here to assure you that when our three-year filial piety period expires, the eldest brother will definitely let our Zhou family regain its prestige, and then the young man who wants to marry our family's bracelet will probably have to go from Songjiang Mansion to Jinling City! ”
Bang'er's heart is precocious, and she is more sensible, in fact, she also knows that Zhou Chong's withdrawal from marriage is for her own good, but because Zhou Chong used his marriage book to exchange for a debt of two hundred taels, so she can't think about it for a while.
But now she heard Zhou Chong's apology in person, and knew that he had withdrawn from the marriage for his own sake, which made most of the anger in Bang'er's heart disappear. Then when she heard that her brother was preparing to revive the Zhou family's ambition, Bang'er couldn't help but be happy in her heart, but then when she heard Zhou Chong say that when the people who asked for marriage lined up in Jinling, Nanjing, she was ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but take a sip of Zhou Chong, her face turned to the side with a slight red, but there was a shy smile on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that Bang'er's anger was gone, Zhou Zhong persuaded while the iron was hot for a while, and said with a solemn face: "Bang'er, the kind of person like Song's father and son is not worth your sadness at all, this cold day, go back to the room and wash your face, don't freeze out of any other diseases, in addition, you see that my aunt is exhausted these days, now our debts are almost about to be paid off, you should accompany your aunt more, don't let her exhaust herself!" ”
Hearing Zhou Zhong mention his mother, Bang'er also nodded very sensibly, and then stood up and prepared to go back to the room, but she had just walked out of Lu for two steps, but suddenly stopped and frowned and said: "Brother, as the so-called gentleman loves money, although the Song father and son are hateful, but you threaten each other with a marriage letter, and then in exchange for an IOU in the other party's hand, this does not seem to be a gentleman's doing, in case the Song father and son spread this matter, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of the elder brother." ”
When Bang'er said this, a worried expression appeared on her face. is the so-called dignity and order, as a younger sister, Bang'er blames her brother, even if it is out of kindness, but she may also be reprimanded.
However, after hearing this, Zhou Zhong smiled and said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to the brother in the future, but the Song family is at a loss for this divorce, presumably they don't dare to publicize it everywhere!" ”
Hearing that Zhou Zhong was so thoughtful, Bang'er also relieved her heart, turned around and went back to the room to freshen up. Looking at the background of the bracelet's departure, Zhou Zhong silently said to himself: "Silly girl, reputation can't be eaten or drunk, exchanging it for something practical is already considered to be earned, and as long as you have money and power, no matter what kind of reputation you had before, someone will rush to help you wash your name!" ”
Seeing the bracelet leave, Zhou Chong sighed lightly, and then turned back, but what he didn't expect was that Zhou Chong had just turned around, and suddenly found a big white face in front of him, which made Zhou Chong startled, thinking that he was seeing a ghost, and he screamed reflexively, and at the same time raised his fist and smashed it.
As a result, I heard only a scream of 'ouch', and then a ball-like body rolled out. At this time, Zhou Chong realized that the person standing behind him was the white and chubby Steward Xu, and the other party was punched in the eye by him, and now he was covering his eyes and screaming.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to help the other party up, and then said helplessly: "I said Steward Xu, why do you always walk silently, and you are so close to me, this is also fortunate to be me, if you were timid, I would have been scared to death by you!" ”
"Retribution, retribution, just now the old slave told the eldest lady about the divorce, and now he has been punched by the young master, and there is really a god who is three feet above his head!" Steward Xu stood up under Zhou Zhong's support, and kept nagging about retribution.
It was not easy to get Steward Xu, who had a broken mouth, to stop nagging, and Zhou Chong found that the punch he had just made was instinctive, and he didn't keep his hand at all, so Steward Xu now has one eye that is blue, and with his white and chubby face, it looks indescribably funny. After inquiry, Zhou Zhong realized that Steward Xu came to look for him just now, and he was thinking about his heart at that time, so Steward Xu called him a few times but he didn't answer.
Hearing Steward Xu's explanation, Zhou Chong was also a little embarrassed, but this was just a misunderstanding, and Zhou Chong took a closer look, Steward Xu's face was big and thick, and this punch was fine, and it would be fine if the blood was scattered in a few days.
Steward Xu blinked a few eyes, and after finding that his vision was not affected, he suddenly remembered the reason for coming to Zhouzhong, and said a little anxiously: "Young master, the last valuable rockery in our family has been sold by you to pay off the debt, and now there is really nothing valuable at home, and there is not much rice, what should we do next?" ”
