Chapter 9: Forced to marry
As soon as Ji Ling's words came out, everyone turned their eyes on him, especially Ji Huaiyang, whose eyes were full of evil.
"This guy really doesn't know each other! It's merciful enough that I don't burn you to death as a flower thief, but you still dare to refuse, isn't my Ji Huaiyang's daughter worthy of you? ”
Ji Huaiyang came to Ji Ling, leaned down, grabbed his neck, and said in a solemn tone: "If you object, I will strangle you!"
Ji Ling felt the huge force coming from his neck, swallowed his saliva, and didn't dare to speak. Before he successfully arrived in Furong Town, he found the bug, thinking that he was about to soar to the invincible world, and the whole person was a little floating. He forgot that this is the Lingwu Continent, not the earth, and when he encounters a ruthless person who has cultivated himself, he will not reason with you, he will only talk to you with his fists. Before he has the strength to protect himself, it is dangerous for him to do anything.
Let's take the previous incident as an example, he met porcelain Chen Pujia at the entrance of Furong Town, although he was justified that time, and Chen Pujia was also kind, and he was safe in the end, but if he met someone who was not good at talking, wouldn't he be killed?
And the flower thief I met behind the Furong Building, now that I think about it, I am really bold! What is a flower thief? Offender! Danger Person! I actually dared to hold his thigh and blackmail him, it was really a long life, and if he didn't kill himself, it was his own life.
But this time I really learned a lesson, to survive in the Lingwu Continent, I really have to be careful and careful, otherwise I don't know when my life will be gone.
"Father, don't scare him, I listen to you, I will get married tomorrow and move to Furong West Street!"
Ji Fu's heart was desolate, she could see that this big family was calculating herself, including her father, who had always respected her very much, they all regarded themselves as a shame for the Ji family, and never treated themselves as relatives.
But what's wrong with you? Is there no filial piety to the elders? Still not caring for your younger siblings? Even Ji Rong, who often harms herself, is polite to her. Is it because I am fat, and I look ugly with spots on my face? But can you blame yourself for this? That's fetal poisoning, it's been like this since childhood, don't they know?
Ji Fu has no hope for this family now, they want to drive themselves away, well, then she will do what they wish and move away; They are afraid of losing their reputation and let themselves marry this stranger, okay, if she marries, it will be regarded as saving Ji Ling, anyway, they are already like this, and they have no right to choose to marry. As for the dowry that Ji Huaiyang said, it was simply the shop that her mother ran when she was still alive, and now it is in a state of abandonment, and if she gives it to herself, it can be regarded as returning to its original owner.
Ji Fu thought about it, agreed to Ji Huaiyang's request, married Ji Ling, saved his life first, and when she arrived at Furong West Street, she re-operated the shop as she should, she didn't ask for much, she could take care of food and clothing, as long as she could live this life peacefully, she had nothing else to ask for.
She is not surprised that Ji Ling is unwilling to marry her, as long as it is a slightly normal-looking man in Furong Town, she is not willing to marry her, she does not blame Ji Ling. Although she rescued Ji Ling from the fire before, it was only because of her kindness, not because she had a bad purpose, she would not coerce Ji Ling with grace, let alone need him to promise herself, she Ji Fu still has this dignity.
After arriving at Furong West Street, as long as Ji Ling wants to leave, she will break away from him, and she will definitely not restrict his freedom.
Ji Huaiyang was very satisfied with Ji Fu's answer, he looked at Ji Ling with his eyes, and said threateningly: "My daughter has agreed, don't you still agree?"
Ji Ling glanced up at Ji Fu, who couldn't look directly, and then lowered his head bitterly.
"I ...... Willing! ”
……
The sound of crackling firecrackers shattered the silence of the early morning. In the morning light, the town of Hibiscus was filled with mist, and the streets were empty, only the faint fragrance of hibiscus flowers.
Ji Fu, dressed in red, stepped out of the door of Jifu, the place where she grew up, and from now on, she will be disconnected from her, except for some reluctant thoughts in her heart, she is full of relief.
Ji Ling, who was also dressed in red, was holding the happy flower in his hand, his face was expressionless, and he didn't say a word.
There was no family sending team, and there was no ten-mile red makeup, only two red whips hanging in front of the Ji Mansion, crackling to send them to the eldest lady.
Walking and walking, Ji Fu burst into tears.
"I'm gone! I'm really gone, Father, Mother! ”
……
The news of Ji Huaiyang's marriage caused a lot of sensation in Furong Town, as a few rich people in Furong Town, Ji Fu's wedding was so shabby that many people had already married before they got up, and they didn't even see a lively shadow.
There is also gossip circulating, saying that the eldest lady of the Ji family can't find a good family at all, she is getting older and older, and there is a sign that she can't get married, Ji Huaiyang is sick and rushes to the doctor, and she just finds someone to marry Ji Fu, and the person she married is called Ji Ling, who has never appeared in Furong Town before, and an insider pointed out that Ji Ling once begged for Chen Pujia's carriage at the entrance of Furong Town, and the head was the Tao.
As a result, the matter of the eldest lady of the Ji family marrying a woman named Hanako began to spread in Furong Town, and became the object of ridicule by everyone.
The news of Ji Fu and Ji Ling's family on Furong West Street has also spread all over the streets and alleys, and in a day, there have been a lot of people in front of this small shop, all wanting to see the demeanor of the first ugly man in Furong Town and her beggar husband. It's a pity that the door of the small shop was closed, Ji Fu and Ji Ling didn't show up at all, and the people who came could only return in vain.
Ji Fu has been working since she went to the shop, and she and Xiaoyu have cleaned the house full of dust and cobwebs, and cleaned up the somewhat shabby counters.
The two of them have been busy from the morning until the bright moon hangs, and finally tidy up the whole place, whether it is to live or open the door to do business, there is no problem.
When everything was done, Ji Fu was finally able to spare time to see her new aunt.
Ji Ling was still sitting in his and Ji Fu's room, barely moving since the morning. The house has been cleaned up, and there are still a few big red happy words on the wall, but this dilapidated appearance really does not look like a new house.
Ji Fu pushed the door in, looking at Ji Ling, who was still sitting on the bed and looking like he was in a trance, his heart tingled slightly.
She walked up to Ji Ling and didn't say anything, but handed him a piece of paper directly.
Ji Ling raised his head a little stiffly, and his gaze fell on the paper in Ji Fu's hand.
"Leave the book!"
"What do you mean?" Ji Ling looked at Ji Fu and said with a dry throat.
"I know you don't want to marry me, but if I don't marry you, my father will kill you. Now that I have left the Ji family, I am not the Ji family, whether you leave or stay, my father will no longer care. This letter of resignation, you only need to press a handprint on it, and from now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other, one parting and two wide, and each life is happy! ”
"Miss......" Xiao Yu stood aside and looked at Ji Fu with complicated eyes.
Ji Ling took the book of resignation with a trembling right hand, bit the index finger of his left hand, and slowly pressed it on top of the book of resignation.
Ji Fu's gaze moved with Ji Ling's index finger, and there was both loss and relief in his heart.
Ji Ling's fingers didn't fall on the book of resignation after all, he shook his head with a wry smile, his right hand slowly clenched, crumpled the book of resignation, and then threw it out.
"You ......" Ji Fu's eyes were full of surprise.
"I was written a letter of resignation by my husband less than a day after I got married, I'm afraid it will become the biggest laughing stock in Furong Town!" Ji Ling raised his head and met Ji Fu's gaze.
"I don't care!"
"Don't care?" Ji Ling chuckled, "Even if you don't care, I care!" ”
The surprise in Ji Fu's eyes turned to astonishment.
"I, Ji Ling, am not a man without responsibility, and I can't do anything like divorcing my wife on the day of marriage! Since you chose to marry me in order to save my life, I can't turn your back on you in the most difficult way, and I won't let you become the laughing stock of the entire Furong Town! ”
Ji Ling looked at Ji Fu with a firm gaze, and his heart was clear. What do people out there laugh at them? Ugly? Beggars? The entire Ji family is still complacent about their cleverness?
Hehe! Do you know what kind of being I am?
There is no regret medicine in this world!
Seeing that Ji Fu didn't speak in shock, Ji Ling continued: "If you don't like me, it doesn't matter if you don't want to marry me, I will write a letter of resignation, but not now, when your life is stable, the world will no longer treat you as a laughing stock, at that time we were separated, and the two will not owe each other from now on, what do you think!"
Looking at Ji Ling's sincere gaze, Ji Fu had mixed feelings in her heart, a little warm, a little moved, a little wanted to cry, since her mother died, she hadn't felt this kind of care for a long time.
"Good!" The thousand words that choked in Ji Fu's throat finally turned into only one word.
After that, there was a long silence.
Ji Ling and Ji Fu are not familiar with each other, and they have nothing to talk about, although the two are now nominally husband and wife, but the relationship between them is very complicated.
"Well, you've been busy all day, so why don't you rest early!" Ji Ling said with some embarrassment.
"Hmm!" Ji Fu nodded hurriedly, and then looked up at Ji Ling sharply.
"What about you?"
"I'm not sleepy, I'm going for a walk!"
"Good!"
"Then, I'm leaving!"
"Good! Wait a minute! ”
"What's wrong?"
Ji Fu took out a small bag of pink handkerchiefs from his purse, pinched out a silver coin from it, and handed it to Ji Ling.
"Miss, you've saved a total of two silver coins over the years, how can you give them to him?" Xiaoyu anxiously grabbed Ji Fu's hand and persuaded her.
Ji Fu gently brushed away Xiaoyu's hand, pressed the silver coin into Ji Ling's palm, and said softly to him: "When a man goes out, he can't be without money!" With money, you have confidence, my husband will not be lower than anyone else! ”
At this time, Ji Fu may be very ugly in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Ji Ling, she is extremely beautiful. He held the silver coin tightly in his palm and said, "Thank you!" Let's go! ”
Out of the door, standing on the street, Ji Ling's mood still couldn't be calm, he spread out his palms, the silver coin lay quietly, shining beautifully in the moonlight, for Ji Ling, this silver coin is his most precious thing at this moment.
"I won't live up to your expectations!"
Ji Ling muttered to himself at the silver coin, and then went straight to the Furong Tower.
……
In front of the Furong Building, Aunt Hong, the old bustard who welcomed the guests, looked at Ji Ling in front of her, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, and felt a little dizzy. This lord, when I look at this dress, it is the joy of the newlyweds, and I came to visit the Qinglou on the night of the cave house, which is really ...... Ridiculous!
"Why, 10,000 yuan can't get into this door?" Ji Ling pinched the silver coin and asked Aunt Hong with a frown.
No matter how high-end the Furong Building is, it is impossible for the entrance fee to exceed one silver coin! Looking at the endless stream of people at the door, there are so many rich people in Furong Town?
It seemed that she sensed Ji Ling's dissatisfaction, and Aunt Hong quickly came back to her senses. Does it have anything to do with her whether they are grooms or not? It's really stupid not to make money.
"Master, you really love to joke! Of course, a silver coin can enter the door! Aunt Hong smiled brightly.
"That's good!" Ji Ling took the silver coin back in his hand, ignored Aunt Hong, and walked straight to the building.
Aunt Hong thought about it in her heart, and felt that Ji Ling might be a big customer, even if it wasn't, she would deduct a silver coin in his hand tonight, so she stopped calling other people who came over, and hurriedly followed behind Ji Ling.
"This lord, which of our girls do you have a crush on? Do you have a good match in our building? We have a mirage of spring flowers and autumn moons here, you see which one you like, take your pick! Aunt Hong said earnestly behind Ji Ling.
The warbler and swallow swallow flower red willow green in the hibiscus building did make Ji Ling a little confused, and every inch of air here was flowing with the breath of temptation, which made him a little restless. But he's not here tonight to have fun, he's got something very important to do.
"I'll take another look, I'll see again!" Ji Ling perfunctorily Aunt Hong, followed the copper coin mark on the login interface and walked upstairs.
On the second floor, the mark of the copper coin was already obvious, Ji Ling raised his head and searched around, and finally found the copper coin symbol that echoed from afar in the corner of the third floor.
When he raised his feet and was about to go to the third floor, the two strong men at the top of the stairs stretched out their strong arms and blocked Ji Ling's way.
"What ...... they are," Ji Ling looked at Aunt Hong in confusion.
Aunt Hong had a bright smile on her face, and said slightly apologetically: "Master, forgive me, you can walk around the first and second floors casually, but the third floor is not casually entered!"
"Why is that? Isn't the third floor a business? Ji Ling asked suspiciously.
"This is your first time coming to our Furong Building!"
"So what?" Ji Ling replied angrily, how many times do you care about my visit, does it have anything to do with you?
"Don't be angry, listen to me explain to you. Do you know, on the third floor of our Furong Building, there are a total of four girls, they not only look like the country and the city, but also are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Our Furong House only has a cooperative relationship with them, and we can't arrange them. Only guests who have been invited by the girl can go up to the third floor. As for the business or something, it will all depend on the customer's ability at that time. ”
After listening to Aunt Hong's explanation, Ji Ling finally understood.
What kind of partnership, this is obviously a deliberate gimmick to raise a certain price!
