Chapter 96: The Prodigal Son Turns Back

Gurg, the piece of loose silver fell to the floor and rolled under the tea table.

Lu Yiming lowered his head and watched blankly as the piece of silver was trampled on and kicked under the table, and his self-esteem seemed to be ravaged together.

There was a terrible silence in the main hall for a moment.

The second old man was proud, unrepentant, opened his mouth and wanted to say a few more sarcastic words, and kicked Lu Yiming, a little flower child, out of the house, but before he could say it, Shen Chong suddenly rounded his arm and slapped him.

The slap was very crisp and stunned a room of people.

The most shocking thing is the second master, he has lived for such a long time, and he has never been beaten like this, and now Shen Zhong actually beat him for the sake of Lu Yiming, a little beast?

The second master was stunned for a second, then screamed, jumped up and pointed at his heavy nose and scolded: "Big brother! You beat me for Lu Yiming's eight lambs? Since you like him so much, you quit the marriage contract with the second prince? Marry your daughter to him! Let him still be your son-in-law! ”

This is a vicious statement.

Shen Chong raised his hand again with a dark face, he is a person who practices martial arts, this slap is not something that ordinary people can bear.

This time, the second master was frightened, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his face and changed his words: "Big brother! I was wrong! You have a lot of them, spare me! ”

Shen retracted his hand and snorted coldly: "Are you talking about human words?" Lu Gongzi happily came to the door to propose, you don't agree, you can talk well, why do you want to bully others? Why is Yun Qi so arrogant and domineering to beat people to death, he learned from you, right? You hurt him! ”

Hearing Shen Zhong count like this, the second old man was very unhappy, and the hot pain on his face was terrible, so he simply broke the jar and said: "Since the eldest brother doesn't look down on me, then you can preside over justice in this matter!" Anyway, there are no 30,000 taels of silver today! There's no way I'm going to let him take Nianci away! Not even a corpse! ”

"Corpses?"

Lu Yiming, who was glazed over, finally reacted, staring at the second master with two eyes, and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened to you about Nianci?" ”

"How's it going? Do you still have the face to ask me? The second master immediately snorted coldly: "If you hadn't confused her, would she have been able to find a dead and alive pillar?" If Nian Ci has three long and two short, you hurt her! ”

This pot is simply breathtaking. Shen Nianzhen stood in front of Old Lady Shen, and she couldn't bear to look at Lu Yiming's face.

Lu Yiming obviously took it seriously, and stood there in a daze, unable to say a word for a long time.

His face was pale and pale.

Shen Zhong coughed lightly and said: "Otherwise, after Nian Ci's injury is healed, Lu Gongzi, you will come to welcome her back with a sedan chair Ming Media is marrying, as for the dowry of 30,000 taels of silver, the commander can pay for you first, and wait for you to save the silver in the future......"

"Daddy!" Shen Nianzhen immediately interrupted him: "You can't do this!" What if this money is given to the third uncle and three aunts, and they still insist on the fourth sister? After all, you're not her father, so we shouldn't have been involved in this matter in the first place! ”

Shen Chongyan frowned when he heard this, and said, "Zhen'er, that's not what you said...... After all......"

"Big brother! We'll never do that! ”

The second old man and his wife are looking forward to this moment, for which the second old man also received a heavy slap, his face is a little crooked, at this time I heard Shen Zheng's words, it is like a long drought and a rainy day, and people who have been hungry and thirsty for three days and three nights finally see food and water, where are they allowed to destroy it? Immediately scrambling to show her determination, the second lady also took the time to glare at Shen Nianzhen fiercely, disgusted her for talking: "The little girl's family, don't meddle in the affairs of the elders!" ”

Shen Nianzhen was speechless, and was about to speak in a soft voice, but he heard a loud voice outside the flower hall: "Don't fight!" I'll give you the 30,000 taels of silver! ”

It sounds familiar.

The people in the flower hall immediately turned their heads, and saw Shen Yunqi, the eldest son of the second room, who had not seen him for many days, striding in from outside.

He was tanned, the satin shirt on his body was gone, replaced by a smart blue cotton shirt, dressed very neatly, and his body was clean and clean, and his swarthy face was a pair of eyes that were extremely bright.

"Yunqi? It's you? How did you become like this? Come to Grandmother! ”

Old Lady Shen, who had been watching from the wall, suddenly sat up straight, stared at Shen Yunqi hard, and then beckoned him to step forward.

Shen Yunqi glanced at the old lady with a smile, but did not step forward immediately, but bent down and rushed to Shen Chong, and the second old man and his wife saluted: "Uncle, father, mother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

After that, he stepped forward and knelt down in front of Old Lady Shen: "Grandmother, my grandson is back." ”

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Old Lady Shen stroked his forehead with trembling hands, very excited: "What did you say when you just came in?" Good boy, grandmother didn't hear clearly......"

"Grandmother, grandson said, I will pay back the 30,000 taels of silver from Rich Zhang's family." Shen Yunqi said, stood up, turned his head to look at Shen Chong, and said loudly: "Uncle, this matter is a matter of the second room, and it shouldn't bother you, please let us solve it ourselves, okay?" ”

Shen Yunqi, a playboy who has always only known the wind and snow, and eats and drinks and enjoys, can actually say his own things and solve this sentence by himself! Is this the sun hitting the west and coming out?

Shen Nianzhen turned his head suspiciously and glanced out of the window, the sun was clear, the weather was bright, and the sun was rising in the east.

Shen Chong's face was full of surprise, but before he could speak, the second master jumped out, facing the half swollen and purple face, and scolded Shen Yunqi angrily: "Are you crazy? Where did you get 30,000 taels of silver to pay the bill? Don't be strong here! ”

"Although I do not have as many as thirty thousand taels, I have five hundred taels of silver." Shen said solemnly, took out a small purse from his arms, opened it carefully, and inside was a silver ticket of five hundred taels, which he carefully folded into a small boxy piece and carefully stored it.

The two of them stared at the five hundred taels of silver tickets with their four eyes, their eyes were red, and the second master reached out to take it, but Shen Yunqi retracted his hand, looked at him and said, "Dad, this silver ticket is just for you to see, and I will send it to Rich Master Zhang later." ”

"Son! How do you have so much silver? The second lady couldn't wait to ask.

Shen Yunqi looked at her and slowly spoke: "In the past few days, I have been going to the sea with other people's fleets to deliver goods, and this silver is saved there, and some others are earned by doing odd jobs in the city. ”

He only said half of it, but there were actually two hundred taels of silver that he had hidden by himself, and now he had taken them out.

"No wonder you don't go home during this time." When the second lady heard this, her eyes turned red.

Shen Nianzhen was very surprised when she heard this, she knew that some fleets that transported goods at sea were in need of people, but it was a rather dangerous job! How many people died in the sea because of this, and they couldn't even find a corpse, so the remuneration was relatively high, Shen Yunqi, a gentleman brother, actually chose such a road, it was really three days, which was impressive.

Shen Zhong was also shocked, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Old Mrs. Shen's eyes were also red, she stretched out her hand to pull Shen Yunqi back to her, and said bitterly: "You stupid child! What are you going to do in such a dangerous place! Don't go back in the future! ”

"No, grandmother." Shen Yunqi slowly withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "I have already told the caravan boss that I will go for another year, so that I can earn five thousand taels of silver every year......

"You're going to go for another year?" Old Lady Shen looked shocked.

But the focus of the second old man and his wife is on the silver: "Five thousand taels of silver per year? Oh, that's a lot of ......."

"Dad, mother, I have already told Rich Master Zhang, pay him back 5,000 taels of silver every year, and he will be able to pay off his debts in six years, you don't have to persecute your sister anymore, she is willing to marry Lu Gongzi, let her marry!" Shen Yunqi took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve, handed it to the second lady and said, "You can use this money to add some dowry to your sister!" Don't let her marry too shabby. ”

The two ladies and their families have long been exhausted, if they had been placed in the past, they would not have looked at these ten taels of silver, but now, holding this heavy ten taels of silver, the two of them are in a complicated mood, both happy and sad.

Happily, my son has finally learned well and can make money!

Sadly, today's big fuss, not only failed to get the silver from the Great Commander's Mansion, but in the end, Shen Nianci was almost killed, and Shen Yunqi easily earned five hundred taels of silver, just glanced at it, and then sent it to the rich man Zhang.

That's their money!

It is more painful to take money out of their hands than it is to take out their hearts, livers, and lungs.

Lu Yiming looked at Shen Yunqi in surprise, and his heart was deeply shocked.

Is there really anyone in this world who has changed his ways?

If not, what is it in front of you? The silver ticket of five hundred taels is also real.

The dilemma between him and Shen Nianci was also solved by Shen Yunqi.

A prodigal kid can do that, but what about him? It's just that my father is dead, the door of the house is sealed, and I still have a belly of knowledge and hands! Can't you get ahead and impress everyone?

Lu Yiming looked down at his hands, secretly excited in his heart.

"In the future, you have to treat my sister well, dare to make her thirsty, hungry, and freezing, I will definitely not bypass you!" After solving the problem of his father, Shen Yunqi suddenly walked in front of Lu Yiming, who was silent, and said with a serious face: "Even if you regain your identity as the prince of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei in the future, if you dare to apologize to her, I will definitely kill you with my own hands!" ”

"Okay."

Lu Yiming slowly raised his head, looked at him seriously and swore: "I, Lu Yiming, am willing to marry Shen Nianci as my wife, love her for the rest of my life, protect her, and never let her be hurt in the slightest!" If you break your oath, you will make me thunder five times in the sky! Come to a sticky end! ”

Such a vicious oath, he opened his mouth to come.

This time, not only Shen Nianzhen was surprised, but even the second old man and his wife, who had always only had money and interests in their eyes, were also a little moved.

Opposing this marriage and opposing the most ferocious second master, he looked at Lu Yiming with a complicated face, his lips opened several times, and finally he didn't say anything.

And so it was settled.

The Shen family got under the table and took out the three taels of silver that were kicked in by the second master, and handed them to Lu Yiming, he took them out of the house, and found a matchmaker with a good status, and proposed marriage to the second master's family, and soon, the marriage was decided, and just a month later, Shen Nianci's injury was healed and he got married.

At this time, Shen Nianci, who had been diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, also woke up from his coma.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was to push away the medicine bowl handed to her by the maid at once, and she got up from the bed with a grunt, and continued to hit the wall with the gauze on her head, but was quickly pulled by Mama Zhou and several mothers-in-law.

"Don't stop me! Let me die! I won't die to marry that rich man! Shen Nianci yelled in despair.

Shen Nianzhen walked in from outside the door accompanied by a picturesque person, looked at Shen Nianci who was looking for death and life, slowly hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, what are you doing here?" Stop. ”

When Shen Nianci heard her voice, he suddenly stiffened, and slowly raised his head to look at Shen Nianzhen.

There was a hint of resentment on the pale, weak and effeminate face: "You came to see my jokes?" Can you be satisfied now? Let's go! ”

"Wronged, wronged." Shen Nianzhen slowly took the food box from Ruhua's hand, walked forward with it, put it on the coffee table in front of the bed, and said with a smile: "I came to visit you on behalf of my grandmother, by the way, there is also good news to tell you, you don't have to look for death and life, and you don't have to marry Rich Master Zhang anymore, the second uncle and the second aunt have already made the decision, and they will marry you to Lu Yiming, the marriage book is written, and even the wedding date is set for the fifteenth of next month, you have to quickly take care of your body, and then be a beautiful bride." ”

"Are you a liar? Where is there such a good thing? ”

Shen Nianci was suspicious when he heard this, and snorted coldly: "Without 30,000 taels of silver, my father and mother will not let go!" You just don't kid anymore! ”

"What are you lying to, you see, this is a marriage letter."

Shen Nianzhen smiled and held a marriage book written on red paper and dangled it in front of Shen Nianci, and said with a smile: "Now I believe it, right?" ”

Shen Nianci couldn't help but look at the marriage book, and when she saw the three big characters of Lu Yiming faintly on the marriage book, her face suddenly became excited, could it be true? Daddy finally changed her mind and stopped forcing her to marry the rich man? That's great!

"You think too much, second uncle, they didn't change their minds because you hit the pillar and sought death." Shen Nianzhen saw what she was thinking at a glance, and said coldly: "It's because Shen Yunqi came back, he got back five hundred taels of silver, and made a promise to repay the rich man's thirty thousand taels of silver within six years, did your father and mother promise to let you marry Lu Yiming, you can get what you want, it's all because of him." ”

"Brother? He's back? ”

Shen Nianci was immediately excited when he heard this, looked at Shen Nianzhen and asked eagerly, "Where is he?" Fast! Ask him to give me some more silver, Lu Yiming has nothing there, and his mother has only drunk green vegetable porridge for three days in a row...... That one doesn't have any nutrition at all......"

As he spoke, he lifted the quilt and was about to go to the ground.

"Fourth Miss! You can't move yet! Mama Zhou hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop the person.

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

She looked at Shen Nianzhen speechlessly, and said mockingly: "Before you get married, you will treat Mrs. Lu as your own mother, do you know how your eldest brother got the five hundred taels of silver!" He went to sea! At the risk of dying at any time, you earned this money, and in the future, it will take you six years to help you pay off this debt, and you don't thank him, worry about him, but ask him for money? Shen Nianci, do you have a heart? If I were Shen Yunqi, I wouldn't care about your! ”

Shen Nianci was speechless when questioned.

She said timidly: "I, I didn't know he was so difficult!" Where is the big brother now? I'm going to tell him not to go to sea! ”

"If he doesn't go to sea, who will pay back the 30,000 taels of silver for you? Rely on you or on the second uncle? ”

Shen Nianzhen's face was full of ridicule: "Or are you willing to marry that rich man Zhang who has a half-folded face and a half-numb face?" ”

Shen Nianci was silent for a moment.

Shen Nianzhen looked at her, only feeling speechless, this kind of brainless girl, marrying the Lu family is not necessarily a blessing.

It's not something she should worry about, though.

"The porridge is here, you eat it quickly, be careful that it's cold." After the task was completed, Shen Nianzhen immediately stopped staying, got up and left with the picturesque.

As soon as she got out of the room, she was surprised to find Shen Yunqi standing in the courtyard.

Apparently he had heard what she had just said in the house.

Shen Nianzhen was suddenly slightly embarrassed.

Shen Yunqi smiled at her, revealing a row of white teeth, and he said seriously: "Sister Zhen'er, in fact, I also paid back the 30,000 taels of silver, not only for Ci'er, but also for my father, over the years, our family has added a lot of trouble to your long house, I'm sorry." ”

After speaking, he bowed seriously, and without waiting for Shen Nianzhen to speak, he turned around and went into the room.

Shen Nianzhen slowly turned his head to look at him and did not speak.

Ruhua glanced at Shen Yunqi silently, and said in a low voice: "Miss, let's go back, the old lady is still waiting for a reply." ”

"No, let's not go to Chunhui Courtyard and return to the True Pavilion."

Shen Nianzhen said lightly, and after speaking, he turned around, walked out of the courtyard without hurrying, and walked out along the cobblestone road.

Picturesque silently followed.

"Second uncle, can they go out of the house?" Shen Nianzhen asked lightly.

"Back to Miss, she has already left, before the second lady left, she wanted to take a look at Miss Four, but she was scolded back by the old lady, and the old lady said that the last person Miss Four wants to see now is them, and they were angry with others as soon as they were rescued, and then Lai Tong led the army."

"Grandmother is talking more and more sharply!" Shen Nianzhen laughed when he heard this.

Picturesque also smiled: "Who says it's not!" This time, the second old couple was able to leave, and it was really thanks to the old lady. ”

Shen Nianzhen nodded, sighed slightly, and said, "If it weren't for such children and grandchildren, the old lady wouldn't have had to be like this." ”

She can have children and grandchildren around her knees, and she is happy every day, just like the old lady of the Liao family.
