Chapter Thirty-Eight: Grandfather Teaches
Thick inky clouds squeezed the sky, obscuring the scarlet eyes that had just been seen, and it seemed as if it was about to fall, and with the rumbling thunder and flashes of lightning, it suddenly began to pour rain outside.
After the figures of Li and Wei Zhongyi disappeared, Shang Ruoyu was really scared, now her reputation is ruined, and her aunt is also useless, this Wei Ge'er never wanted to marry her, she climbed to the feet of Master Shang and was so frightened that tears kept flowing: "Grandfather, I beg you, what if I don't marry Cousin Wei?" If you go and look for Uncle Wei again, Uncle Wei will definitely allow it, grandfather! Seeing that no one cared about her, she cried out of breath, "Grandfather, what I don't want is that my father and mother want to marry me to the rich man Song, I don't want to marry the rich man Song, grandfather!" ”。
Master Shang kicked away the person at his feet, coughed twice, and hit him one after another, and his body was really unbearable, and roared angrily: "Bastard, drag me down, cut her hair, and send her to the nunnery as a sister-in-law!" ”。
Shang Ruoyu was kicked and paralyzed on the ground, tears fell like beads, her father was a thin heart, he knew that he could marry her to the rich man of Song, let her marry the rich man of Song, she would rather die, and she was a concubine of the Chen family and would not help her speak, the uncle and aunt are now even more eager to eat her, and the grandfather and grandmother also hated her, there is no way, hehe, she cried and laughed and was not struggling without resistance and was carried out by two rough clothes...
Shang Boyan watched his daughter being pulled down, and hesitated: "Father, where did the Song family consult with me... You see, if you don't spare Sister Yu this time."
Old lady Shang looked at Shang Boyan coldly, and his tone was quite serious: "Don't think that I don't know what kind of crooked idea you played, today's incident is spread, do you still want others to withdraw again!" Don't want to be a face, you are just a bastard on weekdays, it is about your daughter, besides, how can someone like the Song family be a good match! After a pause: "In the future, the children's marriage, come to me first, you must not make a decision in private!" “。
Shang Boyan's old face was also a little ashamed, and he said "yes" with a red face, but he was not very convinced, but he was only to blame this sister for not knowing what to do and losing face.
Chen was also relieved when he heard this, originally thinking that Shang Ruoyu planted her and was really afraid that the master would marry her Chang'er to the rich man of Song, fortunately, there was an old lady who would take care of Chang'er's marriage in the future, and it would not be too unreliable, but suddenly remembered what had just happened, Chang'er was Shang Ruoyu's sister, and when this matter spread out, I was afraid that the impact on Chang'er would not be good, and I couldn't help but be a little worried.
Old Man Shang's eyes flashed, his eyes sharpened: "And you too."
Wei and Shang Boxue immediately stood up and respectfully: "Yes" Shang Boxue felt sorry for his daughter, and couldn't help complaining a little about the third brother's poor discipline, and was also angry that his wife's family was so bitter and mean, thinking that his father had no official position, he couldn't help but feel that this year was really eventful.
Chen and Wei wanted to speak several times and didn't dare to speak at this moment, the old lady Shang looked in his eyes, took a deep breath, slapped heavily on the armrest, and looked at the maids and servants with angry faces: "Today's incident, if I hear a rumor outside, let me know which of you spread it, and those who chew the root of the tongue will all be beaten to death and thrown out!" “。
The maids and servants were startled, and hurriedly knelt down in fear: "The slaves and maids don't dare"
Old lady Shang looked at everyone's frightened appearance, and then nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand, "Let's all go down, Mingyang stays."
When everyone had left, leaving only Shang Mingyang and the old lady Shang, Shang Mingyang asked puzzledly, "Grandfather, do you have any other orders?"
Old Man Shang was a little tired, and he asked, "What do you think of today's events?" “。
Although Shang Mingyang was a little angry, when her grandfather asked like this, she still thought about it seriously: "I'm afraid that they originally wanted to withdraw from their relatives."
Old Man Shang nodded: "You are a smart person, I heard your grandmother talk about your aunt when she talked about marriage the day before yesterday, and she couldn't wait to tear her face when she heard about her son's scandal today, why do you think it?" “。
"It's... Why else... It's just that I think our family...."Yesterday, my grandfather said that he was emeritus, but after a little inquiry, he knew that it was a dismissal, which could make my aunt's face change in one day's work, and because of what, looking at the gray temples of the old man Shang, how could she bear to continue...
Old man Shang said slowly, "Back then, your mother gave birth to three daughters in a row, your father was the eldest son, and your grandmother originally wanted to marry your father a wife with an innocent family background" Recalling the past, he couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, you were born, otherwise the Shang family would not have a son-in-law, what would it be!" Your mother and sisters won't even have a foothold anymore. ”
It was the first time she heard someone mention this matter in her memory, Shang Mingyang couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, but unfortunately she still gave birth to four daughters in a row, and she suddenly understood a little, why did the Wei family raise her as a boy, and it was just a concubine, and the grandmother actually wanted to raise her wife for any woman and couldn't stand it, and the Wei family actually didn't want to.
At that time, the Wei family was in decline, and several daughters were born one after another, and they couldn't raise their heads at home. Mrs. Shang didn't look good at Wei's face, suppressed everywhere, and wanted to hire her son's maiden daughter as a flat wife, but it happened that Wei was pregnant again, so she put it aside for the time being, but unfortunately when she gave birth to Shang Mingyang, Wei almost had a difficult birth, so she also hurt her body, and the doctor said that it would be difficult to get pregnant in the future, so Wei made such a bold decision.
"When you were a child, the whole family doted on you the most, and your grandmother gave you a big gold collar, and even your uncle and aunt were very envious of it." showed a nostalgic smile, "Because you are the first grandson, your parents are also a little arrogant to you, and you used to be domineering, but now that you have grown up, you are a lot more sensible than before." Old Man Shang's tone became more and more heavy, "You can also see today's events," paused for a while, and sighed a little helplessly, "Mingyang, grandfather is old, ......"
Shang Mingyang muttered with a sour nose: "Grandfather, you are not old, you have to live a long life and enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren." ”
Old Man Shang touched Shang Mingyang's head with a smile and said lovingly: "Brother Yang, you have been smart since you were a child, and now you are more transparent and hard working than before, my grandfather is happy in my heart, and I hope that in the future, I can watch you start a family, ride a horse and travel the streets, and wear velvet flowers." Let these people take a good look at how you glorify your ancestors. ”。
Shang Mingyang nodded solemnly, "Well, this may be the responsibility that a man should fulfill and shoulder, support his family, shine on the lintel, and hold up a vast world for what he loves..... If she can't even rely on her, the only 'eldest son', who will support her sisters in the future
