Chapter 320: Forced Marriage

Of course, Dou'er disagreed, but Zhu's father was quite optimistic about this marriage. Although Shi Biao's reputation in Jinling is not good, who among young people does not have a time when he is young and frivolous? Moreover, the Shi family is not an ordinary official eunuch, and the Jinling garrison is enough to make most people look up, not to mention the loyal prince of the capital?

The Zhu family, like the Xue family, is also a family of merchants, mainly engaged in cloth, raw silk and other businesses.

Zhu's father once tried to deal in tea, exchanging tea for horses in Fanbang, which was definitely a profiteering livelihood. Since it is a huge profit, of course the imperial court will not ignore it. At the beginning of the founding of Dayan, the imperial court set up a tea and horse division, exchanging tea for horses, and prohibiting smuggling.

Mr. Marx once described in "Capital" that once there is a proper profit, capital will be emboldened. If there is a 10 percent profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; If there is a twenty percent profit, he is active; With a 50 percent profit, it dares to take risks; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on the laws of the world; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head.

Private tea gradually became popular, because the price of private tea is lower than that of official tea, and the barbarians of Fanbang are not fools, of course they are willing to do business with them, and official tea has become a nominal thing.

On the other hand, this also prompted more businessmen to participate, and the Zhu family was just an inconspicuous grain of sand.

As the saying goes, people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, and the Zhu family's first business encounter was a black and black thing, not only did they lose all their money, but they even lost their wife's innocence; Blessing is unparalleled, disaster is not a single line, Zhu's father was defeated but not discouraged, and wanted to regroup, which coincided with the defeat of Tumubao and the subsequent defense of the capital, and the court and Wara were at odds. Naturally, the business couldn't be done, and the tea bought by the Zhu family was smashed in their own hands.

This is not the end, it coincides with Chen Xu's implementation of treasury bonds in order to raise military salaries, after all, the Zhu family is the leading businessman in Jinling, and he has to be fat if he slaps his swollen face, Zhu's father gritted his teeth and bought 100,000 silver treasury bonds, those treasury bonds are still a pile of waste paper, every time he sees these waste papers, he can't help but think that the imperial court is the biggest liar.

After this series of blows, Zhu's father was like a gambler who was in a hurry to lose. He had to make up for what he had lost. In the silk and cloth business, the market in Jinling has become saturated, and there is no possibility of huge profits, so he has to take risks.

Zhu's father did make some money by selling illicit tea, but people will get carried away when they are proud, Zhu's father did not handle the relationship with the tea and horse division, and the court intervened, not only confiscating the income from the sale of tea but also fined the silver, and the loss before and after was no less than 100,000 yuan......

Although today's Zhu family still has the shelf of a wealthy businessman. In fact, it is already the end of the crossbow.

Of course, for Zhu's father, the most urgent thing is that there is no successor to the Zhu family. This is not to say that there are no men in the Zhu family, but none of them are talented.

Although Zhu's father is not talented. There is no problem in maintaining the Zhu family's family business, but what about him after a hundred years? How terrifying can the speed of the sons and nephews in the family be defeated? For the inheritance of the family, Zhu's father is bound to find a strong backer.

Is there a stronger backer than the Shi family?

As for whether the daughter is happy or not, she will be happy in the future or not. Although Zhu's father was sad, he also had to harden his heart, isn't the family's century-old inheritance as important as his daughter? Taking a step back, the daughter's family is going to marry after all. Do you want to choose a beggar as a son-in-law like the Xue family? Who knows that Shi Dashao will not turn back?

Dou'er was grounded by Zhu's father, and he was not allowed to go anywhere if he didn't agree to the marriage, and Zhu's father didn't say a word, even if he didn't agree to the marriage, when it came to the agreed wedding date, he would have to tie up a sedan chair.

Dou'er was locked in the boudoir by her father, the room was locked, and even the windows were nailed with thick wooden boards, and she was heartbroken to think about her father's ruthlessness.

When Dou'er was a child, she didn't understand why her father snubbed her mother so that her mother died of depression, and as she grew older, she knew that the root cause of this was her mother's loss, but who caused this?

Dou'er hates her father, hates the maids, mothers-in-law and father's continuation in the house, she can't feel the warmth of home here; The brothers and sisters of the same generation were even more dazzled by the money, and they were all thinking about how to deduct the money from the public and put it into their own pockets, and she felt that it was not worth sacrificing herself for such a family.

On the first day Dou'er was locked up by her father, she lost her temper and threw everything in the room that could be dropped, and even the food sent by her father was thrown out by her; The next day, Zhu's father visited his daughter, whether his daughter was willing to listen or not, he said a lot bitterly, and only hoped that Dou'er could understand his father and share his worries and solve problems; On the third day, he gave an ultimatum to his daughter, and declared that he had accepted the dowry gift from the Shi family, and there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Dou'er was silent and went on a hunger strike for three days, and she seemed to have finally given in. The daughter began to eat, and Zhu's father was relieved that Dou'er was a sensible girl after all.

On the fourth day, Zhu's father invited a tailor to measure his daughter's size and make a wedding dress. Zhu's father didn't expect his daughter to take the opportunity to escape, he didn't want to stop it, but he couldn't stop it, none of the martial artists in the family and the family members who were on duty were her enemies.

Zhu's father doesn't know kung fu, of course he can't see Dou'er's kung fu routines, he can't see how hard his daughter is, but those five big and three rough men actually fell around, how is this possible?

Father Zhu knew that his daughter was learning martial arts in the martial arts hall, didn't he say that the outer disciples of the Divine Sword Martial Arts Hall learned all the fur? How could Dou'er be so powerful?

Is the kung fu of the Divine Sword Martial Arts Hall too powerful or the kung fu of the nursing home too vegetable? Zhu's father suddenly realized that he didn't know his daughter at all.

It was already dusk when Dou'er left home, and at the turn of autumn and winter, the day was eroded by the night faster and faster, and it seemed to be just a moment from dusk to nightfall. Dou'er doesn't know where to go, she only has one friend Yingying, if she goes to her, she will definitely take her in, but her father also knows Yingying's storage, he will definitely be able to find himself, if the Shi family intervenes because of this, wouldn't this affect Yingying and his wife?

Dou'er touched the scattered silver taels in the small bag she carried with her, she felt that she should find an inn to live in first, but she didn't know the process of going to the inn to book a room.

I heard that foreigners have to show the road guide issued by the government when staying in a hotel, so locals shouldn't choose to stay at a guest house, right?

Dou'er was afraid of being found by her father, so she chose some remote paths, and the night had completely covered the earth, and the horns that could not be illuminated by the faint light of the moon were dark and dark, as if squatting monsters.

The autumn wind was blowing, and Dou'er felt a layer of goosebumps on his body. She was a little scared. Dou'er looked up at the sky, the stars were blinking on the dark sky, and she suddenly remembered that her mother had told her that when a living person dies, he (she) will become a star in the sky, and she can't help but wonder which star is her mother's mother?

Dou'er gradually became stupid, until there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

Although it is not a troubled time, it is by no means an era of unforgotten roads and closed doors at night, and it is not a safe thing for a young girl to walk alone on a desolate path late at night.

Whether it's the capital or Jinling. Scoundrels are everywhere. Two ill-intentioned men set their eyes on Dou'er early, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and when they robbed the money, Dou'er looked at the sky and was stunned, and they finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I have no money, so don't bother me......

Before Dou'er finished speaking, she was interrupted, and one of them said with a lewd face, "There is no silver." Let the uncle be happy, as long as you make the uncle comfortable......"

Of course, the hooligans and scoundrels don't care about the taboo of "fat sheep", but they didn't expect that fat sheep would be angry.

"You deserve to die!" Dou'er said hatefully, and she suddenly made a move. This is the first time since the practice of Tai Chi that there is no room for error.

Squeezing, squeezing, pressing, picking, squeezing, elbowing, leaning, the eight kinds of strength were exerted by her to the fullest, even if Chen Xu, he never expected Dou'er to do it behind closed doors. She has such attainments in tai chi.

Taijiquan pays attention to overcoming rigidity with softness, braking with static, rounding straight, and winning big with small. Defeat the strong with the weak, when it is mild, it can make people feel no pain, but when it is violent, it can make people's internal organs cracked, the two strong men never dreamed that the delicate little girl in front of them would be so painful, and was hit by the tip of her elbow, which was almost painful to the bone marrow, and there were all kinds of inexplicable wrestling, as if the internal organs were all out of place.

The two viable villains were beaten to the point that they couldn't get up, and of course, they didn't feel ashamed, because they were no longer capable of thinking......

Dou'er looked at the blood spit out of the mouths of the two, she suddenly panicked, just now it was just based on a moment of anger, but now that she has made a human life, she feels at a loss. Dou'er didn't run away, she walked a few steps away and squatted in a dark corner, covering her face with her hands, and she began to cry.

She killed someone, killed people to pay for her life, and Dou'er was waiting for the government to arrest her......

"Dare to ask the girl why she is so sad?"

When Dou'er heard this, she suddenly raised her head, and he saw the same two men.

The two of them were completely different from the villains just now, standing like a loose and walking like the wind, and they didn't look like bad people, especially the smile that made her feel at ease. Dou'er looked at the two of them, their clothes were of strange colors and styles, but they blended perfectly with the night, and if they wanted to hide their tracks, others would not be able to find them.

The most strange thing for Dou'er is the decoration on their shoulders, the dark green cloth is printed with yellow bars and yellow stars, the person who talks to her has two bars and two stars on his shoulders, and the other person has two stars on one bar.

"Who are you?"

"We are soldiers."

Dou'er was stunned, it was the first time she had seen a soldier with such a kind attitude. I've seen the garrison of Jinling before, they are wearing armor and majestic, others don't dare to take a second look, these two people are not like each other at all, who are they?

"I killed someone, take me away."

The two poles and two stars said, "The girl doesn't know, these two people are wanted by the imperial court, and the girl is now considered to be a victim of the people." ”

Dou'er looked at the two people who were unconscious on the ground in disbelief, could it be said that she was not guilty?

"It's getting late, and it's not safe for the girl to be alone, so let's go home quickly." Two bars and two stars took out a silver ticket of fifty taels from his body, and he explained that this was a reward for the girl to eliminate harm for the people.

When Dou'er left suspiciously, one bar and two stars suddenly said to two bars and two stars, "Brother Lin, these two people are just ruffians, why do you say that they are wanted by the imperial court?" And if we have to do it, why do we have to expose it? ”

"Because she is her own person, otherwise it is impossible to be proficient in that boxing technique." The two-bar two-star conversation suddenly turned, "Solve these two scumbags, don't leave any clues!" (To be continued.) )
