Chapter 270: Self-disfigurement
The two insisted on their own words, and in the end they could not reach an agreement.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Bai Ling changed his mind and said: "Actually, the food doesn't have to be given to them all at once, we can divide it into installments!" In this way, you don't have to worry about being noticed too much. ”
"Staging?" Shangguan Yu said that he could not understand this word very well.
"We lend them grain for the sake of peace at the border, and we will give them a grace period so that they can repay it at a certain price within a few years, and give them a symbolic interest every year that does not embarrass them."
Bai Ling's eyes turned slightly, and he smiled slyly:
"In the same way, we can lend them grain and grass in batches. For example, now lend them a month's worth of grain so that they can last until the autumn harvest, and then we will lend them grain and grass for the winter.
After the beginning of spring, you can lend them another batch. As long as there were no natural disasters in the Eastern Han Kingdom, they could be rescued in this way for one to two years at most, ensuring that their people would not starve to death as much as possible, but they would not be able to strengthen their troops. ”
Shangguan Yu's eyes bloomed with brilliance, and he pulled the delicate person into his arms, and said movingly: "Ling'er is really my lucky star, this way to turn war into jade silk, at least it can ensure that there will be no war in a few years, the Zixiao Army can cultivate and recuperate, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." ”
Shangguan Yu is not afraid of war, but the Han Wangfu has never been the main battle faction, they want to be the first line of defense to protect the rivers and mountains, and guard the border passes, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
"Of course, I am a lucky star, and anyone who is really good to me can be taken care of by Lady Luck. So for the sake of good luck in the future, you can't be half-hearted with me, or God will punish you for me. Bai Ling did not break free, but said with an arrogant face.
"Okay, I, Shangguan Yu, swear to the sky, I only love Bai Ling in this life, and Bai Ling will not be separated!" Shangguan Yu raised his hand and swore an oath, but before he finished the next words, he was covered by Bai Ling.
"Don't swear badly, when your heart is not here, I will definitely leave in style. Either I don't love Bai Ling, but love must be pure and immaculate. Bai Ling raised his head and said.
"Ling'er......" Shangguan Yu called affectionately, bowing his head and imprinting on Bai Ling's lips.
You and I are here to be nong, but the restaurant is gloomy and miserable.
Seeing that Master Liu was about to come to rob him, but Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu had not yet appeared, and the old man was anxious to have a few more white hairs.
The pretty young woman held her daughter a few years old, and her eyes couldn't help but redden, looking at the father-in-law whose soles were worn out and who had been walking around there.
"Dad, why don't you let your daughter-in-law get married. I think that Master Liu should not continue to embarrass you, and please ask my father-in-law to take Ru'er up for the sake of the father-in-law. ”
The young woman knelt down and bowed to the old man:
"It's all daughters-in-law who are not filial, so that the father-in-law bothers to follow, and even the ancestral business can't be kept, the daughter-in-law is sorry for the father-in-law and the father-in-law."
"I don't want my mother to marry Master Liu, he is a big villain, he should be arrested and imprisoned!" Ru'er cried and hugged the young woman's neck, and the crying made people feel heartbroken.
It's not that the old man didn't blame his daughter-in-law, don't go out if she looks good, and block your face when you go out, and there will be no today.
But the old man also understands that the fault is not in the daughter-in-law, but in the unancient heart.
"Get up, the hour has not yet come, and I am sure that the girl will not break her word." The old man clenched his fists and tried to calm himself down.
The young woman coaxed her daughter, but there was a sense of determination in her eyes, and she prepared for the worst.
Another hour of incense passed, and the sound of gongs and drums came from outside the restaurant, but the joyful sound made the three people in the backyard pale when they heard it.
In the end, they still couldn't escape their fate.
"Let's go, you can't hide from what you should come. Then Master Liu has a backer, I don't believe that he really dares to rob his relatives in public! The old man walked firmly ahead, and prepared for the worst like the young woman.
Only Ru'er, holding her mother's arm in fear, was afraid that she would never find it again.
There were many onlookers, and there were many people who whispered about Master Liu's despicable behavior, but no one dared to take action to help this poor family.
There is no way, power can crush people to death, ordinary people can't fight, and they don't dare to fight.
"Lady, I'm here to pick you up for my husband." When Master Liu saw the young woman, he immediately smiled, and he didn't care about the young woman wearing a widow's plain dress, "Don't wear the wedding dress if it doesn't look good, let's go back to the church." Don't worry, the master will be good to you in the future, if you give birth to another son, the master will give him all the family property! ”
It was only at this time that the onlookers knew what the young woman looked like.
The so-called women should be pretty and filial, and the young women have a bewitching appearance, but this plain clothes are added, such as crying and complaining, and the graceful posture are all provoking men's senses.
But any man who has a little lust can't wait to stick his eyes to the young woman.
Of course, there are also those who purely appreciate beauty.
"No wonder Master Liu is willing to marry a widow to continue the string, such a woman is really rare in Zixiao City."
"Mother, why is there such a beautiful woman? In the future, can you still do that to the mother-in-law at home? ”
"Phew, when you look like this, you look like a vixen, you can't keep the widow, and you seduce men everywhere!"
Everyone in the crowd said anything, and they all forgot to avoid Master Liu.
However, most men admire the beauty of young women, or say something explicit, but women are envious and jealous.
"Thank you Master Liu for your love, but I am already married, and my husband is a hero who died on the battlefield. In this life, I am proud to be the wife of my father-in-law, and I will never marry again! ”
The young woman's cold voice sounded, and before everyone could react, she suddenly pulled out the silver hairpin in her hair and slashed it down her face.
Blood flowed down his cheeks, ruining the amorous face.
"Mother!" Ru'er cried.
"Alas!" The old man sighed, and was also happy for his son's vision, and strengthened his determination to defend his daughter-in-law, "Master Liu, you have also seen my daughter-in-law's attitude, and I think that Master Liu will not marry a disfigured second-married woman as his wife." This matter should end here. ”
Master Liu stared at the young woman's ruined face viciously, and said in a weird manner: "Indeed, I will not let a disfigured woman be the main room." However, there is no shortage of an extra aunt in the backyard of my Liu Mansion! Come on, kidnap someone! ”
Master Liu pulled off the red silk on his chest and threw it on the ground.
was swept away, and Master Liu would not stop like this.
"If any of you dare to step forward, I will wipe my neck, old man, I want to see if General Zuo will shield you in a lawsuit involving human life! Don't think that our family is lonely and widowed, we can trample on it at will, there will always be someone to get justice for us! The old man took out a dagger and put it around his neck, and his resolute attitude was shocking.
"Daddy!" The young woman did not cry when she ruined her face, but shed tears at this moment.
"I don't want my grandfather to die, it's a bad guy who wants to rob his mother!" Ru'er wiped her tears and took a sip in the direction of Master Liu.
"Haha! I want to see who has the courage to stand up for you! Master Liu laughed out loud and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze!" Hurry up and tie up the person, even with that little girl, when she grows up, the master just opens the bud for him! ”
