Chapter 3 They Have a Marriage Contract
Bai Rong looked at the young man beside him, raised his head and smiled: "Ziyuan, don't be angry, I didn't want them to see our family's jokes, so I said that I am your sister, don't take it to heart." ”
"It's okay, you're a girl, you can't ruin your reputation. When you grow up in the future, my mother-in-law and I will find you a good husband and not let you suffer. ”
Gu Ziyuan said these words with a serious expression, but he looked like a little brother.
Bai Rong couldn't help laughing: "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry to get married." Besides, who said that women can only teach each other with husbands and children? If you have the opportunity in the future, I will let you live a good life with your mother-in-law. ”
These remarks immediately made Gu Ziyuan's expression change. In addition to surprise, there is also a look of appreciation.
You must know that in the past, Bai Rong only hoped that they would find her a good family and let her live a prosperous life.
After not seeing her for a while, she changed her mind.
Although it is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but now Bai Rong's remarks are a hundred times stronger than many men.
Just for her bold words, he had to be impressed by her.
After the two returned home one after the other, Gu Ziyuan took the prepared herbs from Bai Rong's hand, lifted the hem of his clothes, and squatted in front of the medicine stove to decoct the medicine.
The light of the fire in the stove illuminated the handsome face of the young man, and his heroic eyes shone with forbearance.
Bai Rong took the scoop made of gourds to the hall, opened the rice jar and saw that he couldn't see anything in the black rumbling.
She held on to the rice jar, stood on tiptoe and bent down, half of her body leaning into the jar. As soon as the arm was stretched, there was a "bang" of the scoop, and it reached directly into the tank.
When I picked it up, I couldn't see anything except a few grains of rice on the bottom of the scoop.
Damn, there's no rice!
Bai Rong scolded secretly, took out a few copper plates from his small purse, and shouted towards the inner room: "Mother-in-law, there is no rice at home, I'll go out and buy some back." ”
"Take the lantern and watch out on the road."
"Whoa! Remember! ”
Bai Rong didn't dare to delay even a second, and ran to the grain and rice store with the girl. Fortunately, I went in time and the store was not locked.
She bought some rice and noodles and went back, picking some mushrooms and wild vegetables on the way.
After a meal, the three grandparents and grandchildren were satisfied, and the mother-in-law's face looked better.
Later in the evening, Gu Ziyuan went to another room to rest, and Bai Rong and his mother-in-law rested in the same room.
Although the bed is a little old, the paint on it is mottled. Fortunately, both of them are very thin, and they don't feel crowded when they lie down.
When he was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps outside, vaguely accompanied by a few angry scoldings.
Listening to the sound, it is still a little familiar.
It's broken, and people come to the door.
Bai Rong was shocked and quickly sat up. The mother-in-law was also woken up, and she was about to get up.
Bai Rong hurriedly pressed her shoulder and asked her to lie back down: "You rest first, I'll go out and have a look." For a moment, no matter what happens, you don't squeak. ”
As she spoke, she lit the old oil lamp at the head of the bed and went down to the ground with her clothes on.
Before he walked in front of the door, someone scolded and slammed the door: "Bai Rong, you come out for Lao Tzu!" If you don't make things clear today, don't even think about sleeping! ”
"You who have suffered a thousand knives, you dare to be such a calculating aunt! I still want to take you out for a walk, but I don't know that I was calculated by such a wolf-hearted thing as you! How can I see people in the future! ”
Wang Lan'er sat outside the door patting her thighs and crying, her hair was messy, and tears and snot fell down one by one.
Pan Dabao became more and more angry, and kicked on the door: "Bai Rong, don't play dead for me!" Even if I remove the door panel today, I'm going to take you away! ”
The door panel, which was not very secure, was slapped so hard by him that it was so shaky that it was about to fall off. Dust flew everywhere, choking and coughing.
Granny Pan couldn't sit still, and propped herself up: "Rong'er, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, uncle and aunt are here, I'll open the door."
Bai Rong casually picked up the broom and opened the door.
Pan Dabao rushed in angrily and grabbed her neck: "You little slut, you don't want to live, don't you!" Lao Tzu will arrest you and go to the yamen, if you don't sit through the prison, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Pan! ”
Bai Rong rolled his eyes when he pinched him, and the broom in his hand fell to the ground.
Granny Pan panicked, forced herself up, and sat up staggeringly: "Dabao, what's wrong?" You let go of Rong'er first, and let's talk slowly if there is something. ”
"Auntie," Wang Lan'er ran from the bed crying as if she was dead, "The good granddaughter you picked up sold me to Qinglou and got two taels of silver." If it weren't for Dabao raising money to redeem me, I'm afraid it would be, I'm afraid it would be ......"
Pan Dabao's eyes widened: "If you want to favor this girl today, you won't be able to get along with my Pan family!" I'm going to come out too! ”
Granny Pan was so angry that she trembled all over, and looked at Bai Rong with a wrinkled old face: "What they said is true?" ”
Bai Rong was pinched so that his toes were off the ground, and he was about to return to the west.
Gu Ziyuan, who rushed over when he heard the sound, pushed Pan Dabao away and helped Bai Rong: "She is timid by nature, how can she sell her aunt?" Don't be a fool of yourself. ”
"If you don't believe it, let's go to the Qinglou and confront that old bustard face to face! If I say a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky! ”
Wang Lan'er gritted her teeth and swore a poisonous oath, wishing that she would be eaten alive.
Gu Ziyuan's face turned pale, and he looked at Bai Rong: "What they said is true?" ”
Bai Rong's eyes blinked, tears fell straight down, and he hid behind him timidly: "It was my uncle and aunt who knocked me out while you were away and my mother-in-law was seriously ill in bed, and wanted to sell me to the Qinglou." If I hadn't escaped, you wouldn't have been able to see me. ”
"You talk nonsense! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu tear your mouth apart! ”
Pan Dabao was in a hurry, and he was about to rush over. Gu Ziyuan's eyebrows twisted, and he directly blocked Bai Rong behind him: "What she said is true?" ”
She ...... She is talking nonsense! ”
"If she is talking nonsense, what are you doing so angry? Rong'er is timid, but she is not afraid. If you hadn't annoyed her, how could she have sold her aunt to the Qinglou? ”
"You little bunny, you still want to protect her? Look at Lao Tzu don't pick your skin! ”
"Stop!" Granny Pan roared, leaned on the edge of the bed weakly, and glared at the couple fiercely, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Let me tell you today, even if my old woman dies, this house will not be given to you! Rong'er, take the rest of the money for them! ”
Bai Rong touched his purse and pursed his lips: "Mother-in-law, the flowers are over." ”
"What? Spent? That's okay, Lao Tzu will sell you, and you should pay me back the three taels of silver! ”
Pan Dabao dragged Bai Rong's arm and was about to drag it out, Gu Ziyuan's face was like frost, and he was angry.
Granny Pan hurriedly patted the edge of the bed: "She is the child daughter-in-law I raised for Gu Ziyuan!" There is a marriage contract! If you dare to take her away today, I will sue you for robbing a woman from a good family!" ”
With a loud shout, everyone in the room was stunned.
Gu Ziyuan and Bai Rong also froze in place, and Pan Dabao and Wang Lan'er were stupid.
"Aunt, why haven't I heard that she is Ziyuan's child daughter-in-law before? When did this happen? ”
"That's it! Have the ability to take out the contract and take a look! ”
Seeing that the two of them were still making trouble, Gu Ziyuan came back to his senses and took Tolerance's hand: "The marriage contract is a matter for the two of us, and it has nothing to do with you." If you have to poke this matter out, I, Gu Ziyuan, will also accompany you to the end. It's just that in the future, let others know that her aunt has entered the Qinglou, and I'm afraid that the patriarch of the Pan family will not spare her. ”
"You-"
Pan Dabao was so angry that his teeth itched, Wang Lan'er was poked in the sore spot, covered her face and ran out.
Bai Rong glanced out: "My aunt's name is not guaranteed, I'm afraid I'm going to hang myself." ”
"You, you wait! It's not over! ”
Pan Dabao gritted his teeth and threw down this sentence and hurriedly chased him out.
