Chapter 695: Settle accounts with the Xia family and his wife
Because Luo Wu likes Gu Jinxiu, he respects Gu Dashan very much, and seeing that he wants to know, he told Mr. Xia and his wife about talking to him.
"At the end of last year, a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the county reported that the precious orchid was lost, so I took someone to check, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. Xia's Zhuangzi ......"
At that time, he was decorating the county house, and planned to go to the Gu family to propose marriage during the New Year, and asked to marry Sister Xiu'er, and Mr. Xia was the gentleman who taught Brother Cheng.
In the end, I found a farmer who came to help in Zhuangzi, but the orchid had been damaged by the farmer's daughter, and the farmer was very poor and couldn't pay the Xia family five hundred taels of silver at all.
They all thought that the peasant was going to be arrested and sentenced, but how did they know that the Xia family was benevolent, and after preaching to the farmer, they let the peasant go.
All of them were shocked, and praised Mr. Xia's kindness, if they were really investigated, the peasants of this family would not be able to survive.
sighed that the Xia family is rich, and a flower in the Zhuangzi is worth five hundred taels of silver, what kind of family is this?
Because of this acquaintance, Luo Wu had a good impression of the Xia family and his wife, but unfortunately the Xia family and his wife did not have a good impression of him.
Then he told him how the wealthy family and the civil and noble families lived, and said that Sister Xiu'er has Fengyi, if she has a good background, the queen will do it. But now he can only marry a family and match a son-in-law.
Luo Wu was very angry at first, and said to the Xia family couple: "Sister Xiu'er is not the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich, we grew up together since childhood......
Mr. Xia interrupted him: "We didn't say that Sister Xiu'er dislikes the poor and loves the rich, we just said that she is magnificent and should marry the son of a family." ”
Mr. Xia looked at him with disdain and scrutiny, and after laughing contemptuously and disdainfully, he said, "You grew up together, but she doesn't have to marry you." ”
"Brother Wu'er, you can't hurt Sister Xiu'er, she can marry a family and be a family wife, do you want her to suffer with a peasant boy like you......" Mrs. Xia covered her nose and frowned and asked, "What does it smell like on you?" But what filth did you step on? Or did you just come out of the county government's torture room? The smell of blood all over your body, do you want Sister Xiu'er to endure you like this? Don't defile her. ”
The Luo family had a good life, and when they were still in their hometown village, Luo Wu was a figure who was held; On the way to escape from the wilderness, because he knew kung fu, he was flattered by the villagers; After entering the county government as an errand, he soon made meritorious service as a team leader, and his family received a lot of silver because of the workshop, and his life was prosperous.
When he was in high spirits and was about to marry the girl he loved, he was subjected to such white eyes and ridicule, and his heart was inevitably hit.
The Xia family and his wife are very good at attacking their hearts, and they talked about Gu's workshop: "That is the dividend that the Xiaoyu family gave to your family, and it is the dividend to your family based on the past relationship, the Xiaoyu family is benevolent and righteous, but you are so old, you should know how to repay it." Do you want to use the money given by the Gu family to marry the daughter of the Gu family? Do you still want to be shameless? ”
This sentence hurt Luo Wu a lot.
The Xia family and his wife counted his incompetence and his family's incompetence again: "A few years have passed, your family still lives on the Gu family's workshop, and your monthly income is considered to be earned by yourself, but those few taels of silver can't even buy a tile from the wealthy family, what do you use to support Sister Xiu'er?" ”
He sneered again: "Speaking of which, can you go to the county government as an errand boy, or rely on Xiaoyu's family to help, if it weren't for Xiaoyu's kindness to save the granddaughter of the Jiang family, you can enter the yamen as an errand boy for a farmer who escaped from the famine?" ”
It is to wipe out all the meritorious deeds of Luo Wu's suppression of bandits.
In the end, Mrs. Xia said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Wu, it's not that our husband and wife want to talk about you, it's just that you have to be grateful, you can't take someone else's money, and you have to harm someone else's daughter, right?" ”
When Luo Wu heard this, his mind was dizzy, and he was embarrassed, and he didn't know how he left the Xia family Zhuangzi.
Later, Mr. Xia and his wife sent him a letter, first apologizing, and finally saying that they were from a family, and the relatives and friends they knew were all wealthy families and high-ranking officials, and they would find a good offspring to match Sister Xiu'er from these people's families, so that he could rest assured.
I also counted the benefits of Sister Xiu'er marrying a family, not only Sister Xiu'er can live a good life, but also raise the status of the Gu family, and in the future, Brother An'er will be able to benefit from marrying a daughter-in-law and Xiaoyu marrying.
Gu Jinli wanted to scold his mother when he heard it, and the Xia family and his wife took out their whole family to force Luo Wu.
But......
"Are you a fool? You believe whatever the Xia family's evil animals say? You don't have a brain, do you? Is this how good you are to my sister? Do you know what kind of disgusting family the Xia family couple are looking for for the eldest sister? ”
Luo Wu was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Isn't it a rare good family? ”
Mr. Xia and his wife promised him that they would find a man with a generous, kind, capable and good-tempered mother-in-law in the family for Sister Xiu'er, and the man would not take a concubine.
"It's really a rare good family." Gu Jinli sneered, and did not immediately say the Zhan family, but asked Luo Wu: "If you marry my eldest sister, will you take a concubine?" ”
Luo Wu shook his head: "Naturally not, where does the peasant family have the reason to marry two daughters-in-law?" ”
Gu Jinli listened quite satisfied, but she was about to speak, but was stopped by Gu Jinan: "I'll tell you." ”
The affairs of the Zhan family are not good for a girl's family to say, it is too dirty.
"What the hell is going on? Is it bad for the Xia family to find someone? Luo Wu was in a hurry, he didn't want to embroider his sister's marriage.
Gu Jin'an pulled Gu Jinli away, stood in front of Luo Wu by himself, looked down at him and said: "Some time ago, three uncles and nephews surnamed Zhan came to the Xia family, who are wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xia family and his wife want to tell the eldest sister to the second son of the Zhan family, but do you know what kind of person the second son of the Zhan family is? ”
He didn't want Gu Jinxiu's reputation to be damaged, so when he said this, he squatted down, grabbed Luo Wu's shirt, approached his ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Zhan Er broke into my house, saw the eldest sister, and after being knocked unconscious by the eldest sister, he didn't come to apologize the next day, and came directly to the house to ask for marriage." said that he didn't accept a concubine, but he slept with a girl in the room, and on the day he came to my house to marry the eldest sister, he also slept with a maid, which is what the Xia family said to the eldest sister. ”
Luo Wu was shocked when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, he suddenly got up and rushed out of the house.
When Father Luo saw them, they hurriedly chased them out: "Brother Wu'er, where are you going?" In the middle of the night, your clothes are still wet, and if you don't change them, you will get sick. ”
Father Luo stretched out his hand to drag Luo Wu, but he threw him away: "I'm going to the Xia family Zhuangzi to find the Xia family husband and wife, and ask them how dare they practice embroidery like this!" ”
He has liked the girl for so many years, and in order to let her live a good life, he forced her to others, but what kind of hungry ghost are the Xia family husband and wife looking for?
Broke into Gu's house and bumped into Sister Xiu'er without saying anything, and the next day she didn't apologize but asked for a kiss, thinking it was an affectionate one, but she slept with other women on the day of the proposal.
Luo Wu was so angry that he shed tears just by hearing it, how could he treat Sister Xiu'er like this? How could you do that to her?!
