"Mother, did you and your father go to Chen's Mansion to say goodbye to the child?" Xu Xianglin had no intention of studying, it was difficult to sit and lie down, Sanjiu was guarding the door of the mansion, and when he saw the old lady coming back, he immediately ran back to the study to report.

"Xiang'er, come on, come on, my mother is just looking for you." Mother Xu sent someone to buy red silk brocade, cut it into clothes, and was about to summon her son to wear it.

Before Xu Xianglin could figure out what was going on, Xu's mother put the newly made clothes on his body and said with a smile: "Oh, look at it, it just fits." Xiang Lin wondered and asked, "Mother, you... What are you doing as a big red dress? ”

"In a few days, you will marry a wife and start a family!"

"Marry? You and Daddy really went to Chen's Mansion? Xu Xianglin took off his red clothes and sat aside angrily.

"Xiang'er, you have reached the age of getting married, what's the fuss about talking about a wife's room, besides, what my mother told you is the Chen Wan'er who everyone knows, Meisai Tianxian!"

"Mother, how can you not ask me what I mean, and make decisions with my father without permission." Xu Xianglin turned his back and was very angry, but Liu looked proud, and said: "The order of the parents in ancient times, the words of the matchmaker, Xiang'er, you just have to study with peace of mind, and the matter of marrying will be handled by the mother." ”

"Xiang'er understands her mother's hard work, but Xiang'er is now dedicated to studying the Five Books and Six Classics, and she has no intention of marrying a wife."

"As the saying goes, after this village, there is no such shop, the little lady of the Chen family is a rare beauty, and considerate and virtuous, gentle and generous, if you can marry the door, it is a blessing from your previous life!"

"Mother, you understand what you said, but Xiang'er really has no plans to marry a wife, and it will not be too late to mention this matter after the big test next year." Xu Xianglin's heart was irritable, and he was angry, and he suddenly felt a headache, and he couldn't bear it.

Seeing this, Liu panicked, held Xiang Lin's head and looked left and right, and told Ruolan to go to the doctor quickly, and stopped Lin and said, "Mother, Xiang'er is fine, it will be fine later." ”

"Xiang'er, you see that you are now suffering from a head disease, and there is no one to take care of you, in case one day... Alas! The reason why my mother is in a hurry to say goodbye to you is precisely for this! ”

Xu Xianglin didn't say a word, got up and walked out of the lobby slowly, Liu told Ruolan to help him go back to the room to rest, she picked up the red dress on the ground, there was no smugness just now, and worries came to her heart.

"Wan'er?" Chen Wan'er's mother Cai pushed open the door, the room was cold and silent, the stools were overturned, the table was messy, the decorations were scattered, and the clothes were falling.

Cai was so frightened that he almost fainted, and he couldn't say a word, but it happened that the maid came in with a plate of food, and found that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly went to tell the old man Chen Tong.

"Wan'er? Wan'er? Cai Shi touched her forehead with trembling hands, it was very hot, and Chen Tong immediately ordered his subordinates to go to the doctor's house.

"Look what you've tortured Wan'er into, you..."

"Who knew this kid was so stubborn."

Within an hour, the next person invited a doctor to diagnose the disease and prescribe medicine, but fortunately Chen Wan'er was fine, but the autumn cold and humidity invaded the body, causing a false fire and fever.

"I look at Lin, this kid is knowledgeable and courteous, a talent, Wan'er can't suffer any bitterness when she marries, otherwise she will fulfill her daughter's wish."

"Madam, the Xu family is in the middle of the road, and in recent years it has almost become a white family, how can I associate with my dignified Wusheng County Order, and how can I marry my daughter to the Xu family."

"It's good to see the affection of the Chen and Xu families before, so I will take this opportunity to support the Xu family and reunite the good of Qin and Jin."

"Madame's words are wrong, I think that the fate of the Xu family has been decided, how can it be changed by marriage. The people of Wusheng County are prosperous, and there are many wealthy families, and there are no worse than their families. ”

"But Wan'er, she only likes Lin alone, aren't you forcing her to be cornered by doing this, alas!"

"Recently, the people who proposed marriage are about to step on the threshold of my Chen Mansion, and there are countless children of the official eunuch family, all of whom have been recorded and copied, so I don't believe that Wan'er alone is not matched."

"It's hard for Wan'er, this child, she was abandoned when she was young, and now she can't make decisions about her life's events, I shouldn't have brought her into the house in the first place..."

"Okay, okay, what happened to the past, I have instructed my subordinates to take care of it, postpone the marriage for a few days, and wait until Wan'er is better."

Chen Tong has been busy with his daughter's family affairs in recent days, neglecting county affairs, he was afraid that the people would be resentful and the officials would blame, so he hastily put on official clothes, put on official hats, and rushed to the government to deal with official business.

"Mother, what's wrong with me..."Chen Wan'er woke up, Cai was sitting beside her, for three hours, she said: "Wan'er, my good daughter, I can't stand you for my mother..."

"Mother, my daughter is not filial, which makes you worried." Cai Shi sobbed and choked, and brought medicinal soup to feed her: "Late autumn is coming, winter is coming, you are wearing such thin clothes, how can you not worry about your mother." ”

"I fell asleep accidentally, mother."

"Tomorrow I will send someone to make a fox fur and mink clothes, your body is weak, and you must not suffer from the wind and cold again."

Cai's love and spoiling for her daughter since she was a child, full and hungry, cold and hot, take care of everything, Chen Wan'er is also filial to her, if she is bullied by her brother, as long as the tears fall, Cai's Zhun Bao will teach Chen Xiu a hard lesson.

Chen Wan'er was lying on the bed, hoping that she could stay sick, so that her father would not be ruthless in urging her to get married, her mind was full of Xu Xianglin's shadow, and she only hoped that the Xu family would come back soon, maybe her father's heart softened, so he agreed to this family business, how good it should be, thinking about it, she unconsciously smirked slightly, no one who is infatuated is like this.

The ten-day deadline has passed, and Chen Wan'er still doesn't have any rich and noble children in the book, she is afraid when she sees the book, it is a deep fear.

"Where is the prefectural commander?!" Cai's was choosing a fox fur and mink coat for Chen Wan'er in the side hall, but a person broke into the main hall, shouting, very arrogant.

"Who are you? This is the prefectural lord's mansion, how dare you be so rude? Cai Shi heard the shout and greeted the hall, the man held his head high, sat on the chair with his buttocks, and Erlang's legs were cocked so that he was chic.

"Where is Lord Chen? Why haven't you come out for the meeting yet? ”

"The lord has been busy with county affairs recently, and he hasn't returned for many days, so if you want to find him, go to the county office, and come here to shout and do something, who are you?"

"Lord Taishou ordered me to come and tell Lord Chen that half a month ago, he personally promised to marry his daughter to my son-in-law, and now it has been 20 days, and there is no reply, so why?"

"It's... The old man was angry, the old man did not tell me about this matter, and when he returned to the house to ask clearly, he immediately sent someone to the Taishou Mansion to report. Cai's head was stunned when she heard this, she really didn't know that there was such a thing.

"No! Lord Taishou said, the county commander must give an explanation today, otherwise the black veil on his head may be... Well? ”

"The poor master will sit down for a while, and the old man will send someone to invite the clumsy husband." Cai panicked and hurriedly sent someone to invite Chen Tong back to his house.

After about half an hour, Chen Tong returned to the mansion, looked panicked, and hurriedly entered the main hall, but when he saw the messenger sitting on the main chair, with a displeased face, he saluted and said: "Your Excellency, the official is busy with official business, and there are many neglects, and I hope to forgive my sins. ”

"Lord Chen is really a noble person, how much he forgets things, can't he forget the marriage he promised before?" The messenger snorted and took a sip of tea.

"Oh, my lord originally said this, how dare the officials forget such a big thing, it's just that in recent days, the official affairs have been complicated, and the little girl has been infected with the wind and cold again, and she has not yet recovered, so she didn't dare to tell the lord Taishou."

"Humph! Lord Taishou was furious because of this incident, and ordered Lord Chen to inform him that Ling Ai must marry before dark tomorrow, otherwise beware of this black veil on his head! ”

"This... This... This is too hasty! Please ask the master to explain the reason in front of Lord Taishou, and wait for our government to purchase the wedding bridal funds, and it will not be too late to marry again. ”

"Master Chen, I'm a messenger below, the dowry of the Taishou Mansion will arrive early tomorrow morning, you can watch it yourself!"

With a flick of his arm, he walked out of the hall with great strides, and Cai and Chen Tong were full of sorrow, stunned in place and speechless.

But he said that the Taishou Lord, who was in charge of Dongyang, was named Yang Ji, and gave birth to a son, called Yang Cong, who was stupid and stupid since he was born, and his spirit was different from ordinary people, he smirked when he saw people, and he smirked when he saw ghosts, and he was crazy all day long, and he did a lot of strange things.

Yang Ji is the lord of a county, but because he gave birth to a stupid son, he was secretly chewed by the people, and Taishou's face was lost by his son, so Yang Ji secretly thought to himself that he must do something in the future to let these untouchable slaves shut their tongues.

No, it happened that Wusheng County ordered Chen Tong to marry a daughter and recruit a husband, and the news quickly reached Yang Ji's ears, and he immediately came up with the idea of marrying a wife for his son, so that the stupid son of the Taishou family can marry such a charming and moving wife, what else can those broken-mouthed idlers say.

Yang Ji patted his leg and got up, and immediately sent someone to the Chen Mansion to say goodbye, no matter what, Chen Wan'er, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, must marry into the Taishou Family Mansion to keep face. But after more than half a month, there was no reply from the Chen family, Yang Ji was furious, and sent his subordinates Pegasus to the Chen Mansion to warn Chen Tong that if he delayed the matter any longer, he asked Yangzhou Assassin Shi to ginseng him and took off the black gauze hat on his head.

"It's a big basket now, how is it good!" Chen Tongyi's ass fell on the chair, and he sighed to himself.

"It's not that I said you, the big families in this county are more than cows, which one you can't choose, you have to promise that Yang Taishou, don't you know what virtue his eldest son is... Alas! Cai was annoyed and anxious, and rushed away.

Cai hurriedly rushed to Chen Wan'er's room and informed her of the incident, Chen Wan'er was sitting at the table, staring blankly at the big red clothes on the table, listening to Cai's words, she was too frightened and fainted.
