"That Qionghua is just an adopted daughter, if she marries you, this identity is not equal, and it is inevitable that she will be gossiped about."

Yan Yan was shocked, his father's so-called proposal at the beginning, no one knew that Qionghua was not from Qiong Sanniang, and now he used this reason to prevaricate himself, which was inevitably unconvincing. Thinking of what Fang Cai Qionghua said, he has some eyebrows.

"But the owner of Joan won't allow it?"

Yan Lao touched his beard and patted Yan Yan's shoulder, "Father has his own plans, don't ask again." "Turn around and leave.

Yan Yanpestle froze in place, silently clenching his fists, "Father, do you really want to take advantage of the child's marriage and annex Qionghuazhuang?" ”

"Who said that?" Lord Yan Zhuang looked a little dissatisfied in his tone. "Don't guess, little kids."

"I'm not a kid anymore! Isn't Dad just looking at the excellent sales of Qionghuazhuang's new brew this year, and wants to ask for the recipe, doesn't he just want to use the child's marriage to annex Qionghuazhuang! I only think that my father is an upright person, and I will never be so malicious! ”

"Bastard!"

A loud slap landed on Yan Yan's face, and he didn't fight back, just gritted his teeth.

"Who taught you? More and more presumptuous! Don't go home yet! Don't embarrass me here! ”

Yan Yan was dragged into the car by his subordinates, he looked back at Qionghuazhuang, and vaguely felt a touch of red in the snow, watching them leave.

When Yan Yan returned home, he was locked up and confined to no one except for three meals a day.

Yan's mother also persuaded Master Yan Zhuang day and night, only to say that her son was ignorant and young, or he had listened to some nonsense in Naqionghuazhuang.

Lord Yan Zhuang naturally spoiled Yan Yan, and when he was young, he gave him whatever he wanted, but Yan Yan was much more obedient than his peers, and he also obeyed Yan Lao's orders, and never disobeyed. Today, such a thing happened, and Lord Yan Zhuang can also be said to have been unexpected.

"Madame doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I am free and measured in my heart, but I just give him a wake-up call, and release him in a few days." Elder Yan sighed, "It's okay for others to say this, but my son can't understand me." ”

Yan's mother wiped her tears with a handkerchief on the side, and choked up: "After all, Yan'er is the master's biological blood, even if he makes some mistakes, it is common, but the master has never punished him so severely before, I, I..."

Lord Yan Zhuang held his wife's hand, patted it lightly and comforted: "Everyone said that I went to propose to Qiong Sanniang because I coveted her winery, indeed, I admit that I have three points in my heart, but the remaining seven points are completely planned for Yan'er." Nowadays, the winery business is difficult to do, and the major wineries have seized the share, if you don't find a capable helper for Yan'er, I am afraid that it will not be easy to inherit our Yan family winery in the future. ”

Lord Yan Zhuang sighed, seeing that there were more gray hairs on his head, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little sour.

"The new wine of Qionghuazhuang sells very well, but she has few people in the village, and the production is also small, if Yan'er and her family become successful, the Yan family is not short of manpower, and they help each other, and they are enough to gain a firm foothold in this winemaking industry, but this Qiong Sanniang's vision is still not high, in the end, she is a woman."

Yan's mother was still choked: "Has the master asked Yan'er's opinion?" The old man thinks about everything, but Yan'er may not accept this feeling. ”

Yan Lao was a little disdainful, "How big can he be, what can he think?" Let's plan for him first, and we won't harm him. ”

"Old man....."

"You don't have to persuade him anymore, it's just that he has been fed for three or two days and has never cut him off, and he can't die of hunger."

What Master Yan Zhuang said made some sense, Yan Yan was quite moisturized when he stayed in the house. Every day, there are big fish and meat, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there is no difference from usual, but it is forbidden to go outside, just in the house to warm the book, learn words.

From childhood to adulthood, Yan Yan's everything was decided by his father. He was also reluctant to resist and felt comfortable.

Whether it was when his father told him that he wanted him to marry Qiong Sanniang's daughter or inherit the family business, he never had any waves in his heart, but just accepted it.

But when his father asked to find a beautiful woman for him again, why was his state of mind very different from usual?

Yan Yan irritably picked up the pen and wrote inscriptions on expensive rice paper, but after thinking about it, there were only two words in the pen.

【Qionghua】

I don't know when my head is full of the figure of that girl.

Dancing on a high platform in thin clothes.

Knocking on his brain with his hand, he said that he was a stupid melon.

She smiled lightly among the flowers.

She put her hand on her cheek and pondered what was going on.

.....

He couldn't even empty his head, reminiscing about the gentle touch of the girl's hands.

"Qionghua..."

I really want to see her.

Inside Qionghua Village, it is still snowy.

But in this quiet environment, it still can't hide Qiong Sanniang's anger.

She was dressed in purple and sat on top of the main hall with a thick wooden plank in her hand.

She clapped her hands with a wooden plank like this, not even bothering about the tea beside her, but just looked at Qionghua kneeling on the ground with extremely vicious eyes.

Sanniang lost her husband at an early age and had no children under her knees, so she adopted Qionghua when she was three years old. Because he doesn't read much, he has high hopes for Qionghua.

So, when her peers were playing with mud, Qiong Sanniang spent a lot of money to invite dozens of teaching gentlemen to let Qionghua study day and night. No matter whether you read, write, paint, or play the piano, if you don't do anything well, you will be punished and beaten. The practice of dancing is also true, often in the ice and snow, so that Qionghua dances barefoot in the snow.

Sometimes I practiced dancing, because Qionghua was dressed thinly and had a high fever. Sanniang just scolded Qionghua for being weak and weak, and her practice was still the same.

At this moment, Sanniang looked at Qionghua on the ground, raised the board and slammed it on her arm.

"Have you seen that kid from the Yan family? Speak! ”

Qionghua didn't dare to cover the place where she was beaten just now with her hands, but nodded with tears in her eyes.

Another board hit her hand, and Sanniang had a vicious aura in her heart that needed to be discarded urgently.

"Do you know that group of bastards of the Yan family want to marry you?"

Qionghua still shook her head.

"I have worked hard for so many years to run Qionghua, but I can't just lose in your hands, you have thought it carefully for me, only they come over, and there is no door for you to marry!"

Seeing that Qiong Hua didn't answer, Qiong Sanniang was a board again.

"Deaf or dumb? Call me back. ”

"It's... Owner. ”

Qiong Sanniang brushed her sleeves away, leaving Qionghua alone to sit in the hall.

The mother-in-law next to Sanniang is a kind-hearted person, watching Qionghua grow up, every time Sanniang punishes Qionghua, her mother-in-law will always secretly come to comfort her.

Today, Sanniang is really heavy, Qionghua's hands and arms are swollen for a whole circle, and it seems that she can't even raise her hands these days.

When the mother-in-law saw Sanniang walking away, she found a reason to stay, and hugged Qionghua distressedly, her eyes were full of tears.

"Mother-in-law, don't cry, the owner of the village is often strict with me. I don't hurt at all. Qionghua comforted her mother-in-law, who couldn't lift her hand that was beaten, so she had to pat her mother-in-law's back with another hand.

"It's good if you know, and the owner is also for your good. It hurts in your body and in the heart of the owner. The mother-in-law wiped her tears. I looked at Qionghua's wounds. Although there was no blood, it was also bruised and frightening.

"When Sanniang sleeps, you come to my room, I'll give you a dress, poor young lady..."

Qiong Huaqiang squeezed out a smile, "Mother-in-law, don't stay here for a long time, maybe the owner still has something to find, if you can't find someone, you will blame again." ”

The mother-in-law had to agree, washed away the tears on her face, and went to the backyard to serve Qiong Sanniang.

Qionghua returned to her boudoir and asked the little girl to collect some snow from the outside and apply it to the wound.

The cold touch cut the pain in half, and Qionghua couldn't help but sigh at the benefits of being in the land of ice and snow.

She thought back to the young man named Yan Yan and smiled.

"It's just a stupid melon who has never seen the world, reckless and stupid, but just a little young master who grew up in a greenhouse."

As he said this, I couldn't help but think of the scene where he wrapped himself in his coat.

From childhood to adulthood, except for my mother-in-law, no one has treated me so gently.

"Thanks to the owner's refusal for me, I won't marry such a fool."

Although he said this, he felt sour in his heart.

She understood the meaning of Qiong Sanniang's words, she was born as a person from Qionghuazhuang, and died as a ghost of Qionghuazhuang, and the responsibility she would have to shoulder in the future ruined her way to get married.

Only the sons of other families come in, and now in this world, who is not a thousand nobles? How can there be a reason for the son to take the initiative to join the family?

Thinking of this, her heart couldn't help but qualify. Like all girls of the same age, Qionghua is sixteen, who has not tasted personnel but yearns for one day, to enjoy the flowers and candles in the cave room. Sanniang's intentions for her and Qionghuazhuang are not incomprehensible, but she has never stepped out of Fentou Mountain for a single step, and she doesn't want to be imprisoned for a lifetime.

"What is Miss thinking?" The mother-in-law held the lamp and appeared behind Qionghua.

Qionghua was shocked and said, "Why doesn't my mother-in-law rest so late."

"The girl in your house is not careful, the doors and windows are not closed, and she is patrolling the night, so stop by to take a look."

Qionghua looked at her mother-in-law, thinking that her mother-in-law was also so old, she must have experienced strong winds and rains, and she had seen more of the world than herself. So he organized the language and asked.

"Mother-in-law, what would you do if you wanted to connect with your old friend, but you were far away?"

"If you are looking for a fast horse, you can set off immediately and meet you. Miss asked what this was for? ”

Qionghua thought thoughtfully, "What if the mother-in-law is not allowed to go out?" ”

"You little girl, are you stunned? Net asks the old man some strange questions. The mother-in-law touched Qionghua's head lovingly, "You can write a letter or send some small toys to convey your heart, and it is the same whether you see anyone or not." ”

Qionghua's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly grabbed her mother-in-law's cuffs, excited.

"Mother-in-law, I want to write a letter."

Three days later, Yan Yan received a letter of flower note, with beautiful handwriting, and there were six petals of frost flowers on the paper, which was full of floral fragrance.

[Yan Gongzi personally opened, Qionghua presented]
