Chapter 074: A Key and a Lock
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the joke that Qi County made at home is known to everyone who has been rumored.
Qi Rong, the county magistrate, couldn't afford to be sick, Qi Jingyan listened to the maid's message, and could only cry silently, thinking of her father, and then thinking of those rumors, her heart was not a good taste, and she complained about Lin Shijun from the inside out.
"Tomorrow is the day when the three dynasties will return to the door. Don't cry, let your father-in-law and mother-in-law see how worried you are. Lin Shijun comforted through a door. Not only did he not go to bed yesterday, but he was kicked out of the house today.
Lin Shijun was a little deflated, counting his fingers, thinking that it would be fine after a while. But listening to her cry, he was distraught again.
"Don't cry, crying hurts your eyes, don't say, you have a child in your belly, you just don't think about yourself, don't you have to think about the child?"
Qingmiao was taken aback, she thought that Lin Shijun was just a temporary statement at that time, but she didn't expect it to be true?
"Miss, don't cry. It's so nerve-wracking, it's not good for your health. ”
Qi Jingyan touched her stomach with one hand, thinking of the child, she couldn't bear the tears.
She thought, child, my mother will take you away, if our mother and son always think that relying on others, we will only be wronged in this life.
Lin Shijun knocked on the door: "Lantern Festival, can you let me in?" Tomorrow is the day when the three dynasties return to the door, I want to discuss with you, let's bring something back better. ”
Qi Jingyan opened the window, crying and scolding: "Three dynasties return to the door...... Do you still have the face to go back now? ”
Lin Shijun leaned in front of the window: "Don't you be angry?" Things have come out, and we are always like this, and there is no way to solve it. Let's go back and see the old man's physical condition. Besides, we are going to live in Zezhou after returning this time, and it is not very convenient to go home in the future. ”
"If you want to go by yourself, I don't have the face to go back with you, and I don't have the face to see my father."
"Don't do this, I ...... the window slammed shut, almost hitting his nose.
"Shijun...... You came with Uncle Ming, and Uncle Ming has something to do with you? At the door, Lin Ming waved his hand to greet him.
Lin Shijun buckled the window: "In the evening, let's talk about it when we come back, don't cry secretly." ”
"I don't want to talk to you, and you'd better not even come back."
"Uncle Ming, what are you looking for me?"
Lin Ming scratched his head: "What else can I do, I'm just here to ask you, about 10,000 taels of silver, tomorrow will be the day you return to the door." Your father-in-law is angry with you, and he can't be angry with your daughter-in-law all the time. You must be kind enough to persuade you to get this money. ”
"Okay."
Lin Ming patted him on the shoulder: "Be a little hearty." It's not that Uncle Ming wants this money, we have to plan for Lin Huan, the child is so young, he is the only one left in their group, and we can't stand idly by. ”
"Uncle Ming, I know."
The husband and wife who came to the door with a large bag and a small bag ate the closed-door soup, and Lin Shijun comforted Qi Jingyan vigorously.
Qi Lin trotted out from the back door: "Sister, is it okay for my sister to be a bride?" Are you happy? Don't worry, Daddy he's fine. ”
Qi Jingyan nodded aggrievedly, and then didn't say anything more, tears rolled in her eyes.
Lin Shijun took his little hand, went to the side, and gave him a silver ingot: "Brother-in-law, this is for you to buy candy to eat." You help your brother-in-law coax your sister. ”
"The bell must be tied to the bell, whoever makes the cry, who coaxes himself." Qi Lin took the silver, turned around and ran.
"Stinky boy, don't even call your brother-in-law?"
"You don't deserve to be his brother-in-law at all." Qi Jingyan covered her eyes, her mouth was deflated, and there were still two lines of tears on her face, Lin Shijun looked strange and distressed.
The two put their things in front of the door and went home, but before they entered the courtyard gate, Lin Ming stopped Lin Shijun.
Qi Jingyan took a deep breath, and the grievance in her heart made her unable to calm down. She felt that Lin Shijun was coming for her, he just wanted to make her isolated, and she could only rely on him alone, so he was willing to give up.
She felt a faint fetal movement, she touched her belly, and thought that this child was not him, and in the days after that, wouldn't she be overstretched and controlled.
She didn't know where her luck came from, and when she came back to her senses, she had already taken some silver and green seedlings and got into the carriage to Luoyang. Maybe it was impulsive, but now that she's gone, she thinks it's good.
Maybe she can go to Luoyang to be a painter, she doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore, only around him all day long. The heaven on her top is him, and the earth she leans on is him, if one day he changes, the sky will fall apart, and she will have no more to rely on. She can't put all of herself on one person, it's too risky.
Zhong Mingjun didn't follow Fu Yifan to the capital since the day he beat him, after learning that she was pregnant with his own child, he had to stay here, after all, he was his own blood relatives, but he never found a good entry point, no, he just heard about Lin Shijun's wedding, and he knew that in Lin Shijun's heart, he must have cared, so he deliberately retaliated.
As soon as he arrived at Lingchuan in the carriage, he saw Qi Jingyan passing by in the carriage, and he instructed the little servant to follow.
"Uncle Ming!"
Lin Ming asked anxiously, "How's it going?" Has your father-in-law given you back the money? ”
"No, I won't even let the door in. It must be very angry, if only I knew I was doing this. ”
Lin Ming hated that iron could not become steel: "Oops...... He won't let you in, so you'll try to get in. He is an elder, and he can also meet you as a junior, you, you, you are too stupid. ”
Lin Ming crossed his waist angrily, and said: "You are also confused, this is all real money, there are those who send it to other people's pockets, let me take the dowry back, you really dare to agree." Take this back, you don't have more days to live in the future, the little two are waiting to drink the northwest wind? ”
"It's not Uncle Ming, you also saw the situation at that time. If I don't accept it, I can't take it. Besides, after all, she is pregnant with my flesh and blood, and I can't let her go back to be a sister-in-law. Lin Shijun was like a child who had done something wrong, shrinking in the corner, not daring to come out, and he saw Lin Ming angry.
"That's pregnant with your child, can she still run away, what are you afraid of? Now, where can I find these ten thousand taels of silver? Where do you say to find it? You don't want to save Lin Huan. ”
Lin Shijun swallowed his saliva: "I want to!" I dreamed of it. ”
Lin Ming pushed him out of the door: "I think, you just go and ask for the dowry back, it's their business if they don't add a dowry, and they can still bet on the bride price, I've never seen such a money-eyed person." ”
"Uncle Ming, I don't dare, because of this matter, my mother-in-law has been arguing with me for several days."
"What are you afraid of, my mother-in-law is disobedient, and she will be obedient after a few beatings."
Lin Shijun let out a "Ao" sound, took three steps and turned back: "Uncle Ming, I still don't dare." ”
Lin Ming took Lin Shijunjun and went to Qi Mansion: "What's so big about this, if you want your own things, I'll go with you!" ”
Seeing that the two were about to arrive at the door of Qi Mansion, Lin Shijun retreated again, refusing to go, pushing Lin Ming: "Uncle Ming wants to go to you, I am at a loss, I can't wipe this face, and I can't open this mouth." ”
Lin Ming shook his sleeves: "You, you, what kind of climate can you become if you shrink your head and tail like this?" If you don't go, I'll go! ”
Lin Ming went up and knocked on the door, explained his intention, and was led in by the little servant.
Qi Rong stood in front of the window, drinking alone, and the little servant reminded with some concern: "Master, the doctor said, you are still sick, and it is not appropriate to drink." ”
Aunt Zhao also helped on the side: "Drink less, your body is important." ”
Lin Ming was brought in by the little servant: "In-laws, are you in better health?" ”
Aunt Zhao snorted: "If this kind of thing happens, can this be good." It's really that the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, what kind of people have, what kind of things can be done. ”
Qi Rong looked at him: "What are you doing here?" ”
Lin Ming was unceremonious, and sat down swaggering as soon as he came in: "I'll come to order something for my nephew, you are your son-in-law." ”
Aunt Zhao sneered: "Master, I said it a long time ago......"
"Shut up!" Qi Yan glared at Aunt Zhao with a gloomy face, and Aunt Zhao was silent.
"Your nephew doesn't have anything to put here for me, Lin Ming, don't bother thinking about it in vain."
Lin Ming was also polite: "Yo, listening to the meaning of my father-in-law, I want to swallow things privately." Take your share, won't you get it? Can you still get both? ”
Qi Yu snorted coldly: "What one and two, mine yours, does this have anything to do with you Lin Ming?" If you really want to, let Lin Shijun come by himself. ”
"Father-in-law, why bother, my nephew has no father and no mother, and I, as an uncle, can't I help a little? Two children live a life, and the family doesn't help them, can they get by? All that's left is sin, and if I were you, I'd have to pay both things back. ”
"It's a pity you're not me! As soon as this dowry comes, I won't accompany it. Second? I also accept this bride price, is there any problem? ”
Lin Ming saw that Qi Yan didn't let go, and said with a smile: "We won't talk about the dowry, and you will also accept the part of the dowry." But the rest, the bride price? After you don't look good, do you have to give your children a good life? How can you say that you will accept it, and you will accept it. Didn't do that? ”
"Why not? Isn't that there? ”
"In-laws, you're being unreasonable. We don't want these two money, we want our share. Shijun's child is sincere, what he sent is all the family's wealth, if you really want to accept it, those two children will have to drink the northwest wind, even if you don't hurt the child, you have to hurt the grandson in your belly. ”
When I heard this, Qi Yan was even more angry: "Living for children is an unwritten rule for everyone over the years." But if you really want to come according to the three media and six hires, it's normal not to return it, if you really want it, just carry those three boxes of soil back. ”
Lin Mingden stood up at the moment: "Lord Qi, you are a little unreasonable, you don't look at what kind of goods your daughter is, don't talk about pasting this money, it's not over yet." ”
"What did you say!"
"What else do I say? I don't say it, you don't count it in your heart, your own daughter is indecent, and she follows my nephew upside down, and the child in her belly is a month. It's still pretending here, if you don't take out your things, this marriage will be over! ”
Qi Yu smashed the wine bottle to the ground: "Forget it, I really think that Lao Tzu will not dare to withdraw from marriage." ”
"Look at your stubbornness, you still think that your daughter, except for my family Shijun wants her, who will pick her up a broken shoe to wear?"
Qi Yan pounced on him and fought with Lin Ming, with the help of the little guy, Qi Yan didn't suffer any loss, he kicked twice, Ren was angry, and pointed at him.
"Get this out of here."
Lin Ming was dragged away: "Master Qi, if you have the ability, you can let her come back, do you see if anyone else marries her!?" ”
"Get out—"
"Don't admit it, it's the truth! My daughter's family education is not strict, and she is not responsible, which means that she may be restless and self-conscious in the future. Our Lin family has a big heart, and we raise it for you, and you still have this attitude, I really think that if she quits the marriage, what good will she end. You might as well discuss the bride price with me. ”
Lin Ming was pushed out of the gate and watched as the gate closed.
Lin Ming stretched out his leg to block the door, and suddenly the door couldn't be closed, and the little guy pushed the door.
Lin Ming howled and cried: "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, if it breaks me today, you just wait, give me a pension and send it to the end!" ”
Under Lin Ming's tricks, the little guys had to pack up some strength, for fear of cutting him off and letting him give it to Lai.
Seeing that the obstacle had become smaller, Lin Ming directly squeezed half of his body into the crack of the door, poked his head out, and shouted at Qi Ying.
"Master Qi, let me tell you the truth. If you don't return this money to us today, I won't leave, but I want to see who is more ashamed of this trouble. ”
Qi Rongqi's chest hurts, and he has to be supported by a small servant, otherwise he would have been planted long ago.
I heard Lin Ming, who was caught in the crack of the door, banging on the door and shouting: "Ouch, it's unreasonable!" Qi County ordered the greedy money to sell his daughter...... Qi County ordered the greedy for money to sell his daughter......"
Qi Yu raised his hand to support his forehead and gave an order to this little guy: "Lin Ming, if you want to shout, you can shout, I won't accompany you." ”
Lin Ming saw that the little guy had opened the door, he stood up straight, pulled his collar, and twisted his neck: "So far, you have no choice." It's better for you to take a step back, I'll take a step back, let's sit down and discuss it. ”
Just as he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and had taken two steps forward, he saw two little men carrying two buckets of things and throwing them at him.
Lin Ming was stunned at that time, the mud was like a sticky drench, the sour and rancid stench choked him out of breath, and his body was drenched with water, he wiped his face, and shouted with trembling hands.
"You ...... You guys...... How dare you splash me with dung! ”
Lin Shijun waited for less than a quarter of an hour, and was about to go home, when he saw Lin Ming being pushed out. If you take a closer look, you can see that Yoneda Gong has been poured all over. Lin Ming staggered towards him, and ten zhang away, the stinking sour smell of the thatched pit came to his nose.
He said in his heart that this old man was also a little ruthless, and originally wanted to help him with filial piety. After taking a step forward, he vomited, covered his mouth, turned around and ran.
He ran to the house in one go, leaning against the door behind him, wanting to laugh and cry again. There is the pleasure of revenge, and there are so many years of emotional inseparability. Sometimes, I am not so happy to take revenge on the people close to me, and I feel that everything I once trusted seems to have collapsed, and it is more like revenge on myself and my stupidity, so my heart is particularly sour.
He desperately wanted to find Qi Jingyan and stay by her side for a while, doing nothing but staying by her side for a while.
Lin Shijun walked around the courtyard and didn't see anyone, sitting in the gazebo in a daze, thinking about a lot of things.
Suddenly, a man in a rough brown shirt ran in: "Big brother, it's not good, sister-in-law got into the carriage and left by herself." ”
"Where did you go? But someone followed! ”
"I said I was going to Luoyang, but you can rest assured, big brother, the driver who drove the car is his own brother."
Lin Shijun was stunned: "No, there is still one person missing, you call a few more brothers, follow and watch, don't make a good mistake." ”
"Big brother, don't worry, I'll lead someone to chase after me."
Lin Shijun sighed, she was angry and left. It's okay to go out for a walk. When all the mess on his side is finished, let's free up my hands to talk to her in detail.
---
"Why are you again?"
Qi Jingyan arrived in Luoyang, found a place to stay, and had already come out of the three cloth workshops. Because she is not a famous painter, but the boss sees that her skills are good, so he intends to invite her, but the price fluctuates greatly.
She never thought that she would be able to find a job, and suddenly she had confidence, so she thought about looking at a few more and comparing them before deciding which one to go to.
But who expected, as soon as she turned back to Shangjia Cloth Workshop and went to pick up the dropped brush, she bumped into Zhong Mingjun and was inquiring about him.
Zhong Mingjun had nowhere to put his hands, and stood stiffly: "I heard about your marriage, I can't rest assured that I can't ...... it."
Qi Jingyan glanced at him angrily, didn't want the brush, and turned to go out.
The waiter tugged at Zhong Mingjun's sleeve: "Young master, the person is gone." ”
"I know ......"
The waiter looked anxious: "Young master, you have come from so far to follow." Say whatever you want? Save you from worrying about it, and you can't sleep all night. ”
Zhong Mingjun chased after her, he blocked in front of her and wanted to talk to her, but she turned around and left. He blocked again, and she hid again. He blocked, she hid. She was dizzy when she walked around.
"Zhong Mingjun, what are you going to do?"
Zhong Mingjun scratched his neck, unable to speak: "I want to know, are you doing well?" ”
"Please, it's okay for me to be doing or not. Zhong Mingjun I have nothing to do with you, please don't bother me anymore, okay? Qi Jingyan was speechless at him, rolled his eyes, turned around and left, Qing Miao stared at the big eyes and looked left and right, and hurriedly followed.
Qi Jingyan paused, took a deep breath, and turned back: "And!" If you don't bother me, I'll be fine! ”
Your affection, to me, is just an interruption.
Zhong Mingjun thought, the most hurtful words are nothing more than that, what did he do wrong? How dashing she turned to leave, how much his heart hurt.
Zhong Mingjun chased after her and grabbed her: "Qi Jingyan, tell me, if you are doing well, why are you here?" Why do you come out to work? Is it Lin Shijun, he doesn't support you anymore? If you are doing well, why did Lin Shijun embarrass you on the day you got married? Does he dislike the child in your womb? ”
"Qi Jingyan, you answer me, if you don't have a good life, I can give you the life you want, give you everything you want, don't work hard alone."
Qi Jingyan pushed his arm away: "I think Zhong Mingjun, you have misunderstood." Lin Shijun is very good to me, and I have not had a bad time. I want to find a job, just because I want to. ”
As soon as Zhong Mingjun saw her three days of marriage, he left home angrily and looked for a way to live. Couldn't that mean it be clearer? Lin Shijun is not good to him at all, he is a liar, saying one thing and doing another. I desperately wanted his life before, and I really got married, and you are laughing at it like this.
"You can't fool me,...... If he really wants to be good to you, will he make the Qi family lose such a big face? He's taking revenge, and I know it must be because of me. I am sincere to you, I will raise you and the child, and I will be good to you for the rest of my life......"
Qi Jingyan shouted hysterically: "Enough, Zhong Mingjun, when you leave the Zhong family, you are nothing?" It's less polite here to say some high-sounding things. What can you give me the life I want, everything I want? Is that what you gave me? You are just relying on a few stinky money from the Zhong family, what are you prestigious? If you really let you live for a day, the hard life that Lin Shijun and I have lived, how long can you be good to me? You can't get through a day, don't be funny, okay! ”
"I can."
Zhong Mingjun looked at his hands, and for the first time, he felt that it was good to have a skill. He is not a rich man who can only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, he is very skillful, and he is also very good at carpentry, even if he leaves the Zhong family, he can live.
"I can, I don't rely on the Zhong family. I can too, I have the craft, and I am sincere to you, and I will never make you unhappy, and I will never let you show up and go out to work. ”
Qi Jingyan turned her head and smiled, shook her head slightly, and pressed her chest: "I-I-I don't want to rely on men anymore, I just rely on my own hands to make money, I rely on myself, what's wrong with coming out to work?" Not everyone is the eldest lady, marrying a person, and being locked in a yard of one acre and two points is the rest of their lives. The grandmother who steamed the buns, the girl who spun the cloth, and the Xi Shi who sold tofu, didn't they also live well? What's wrong with living like this, too? Who's in the way? ”
Zhong Mingjun took a step back: "I didn't mean that, I support you in whatever you want to do." It's just that you're alone, you're not safe, and I can protect you. Besides, you are still pregnant with a child, and I can take care of it. ”
One of them scolded: "I'll go, this little white face is too shameless." If you dare to openly pry my sister-in-law, I will beat him to death right now. ”
was pulled by the companions: "Don't don't, big brother, let us protect secretly!" Surreptitiously! If the sister-in-law finds out, we will be angry with the eldest brother again, and we can't take action until we have to. ”
"Zhong Mingjun, wake up! I don't need you to protect me, I don't need you to take care of me. If you're really good for me, please stay away from me. ”
Zhong Mingjun raised his hand to cover his eyes, not wanting to be too embarrassed: "I also thought about it, it would be nice to stay away from you, but I can't do it!" We all have children? Can't you give me a chance? I'm going to put a lot of effort into it......"
Qi Jingyan gritted her teeth: "Don't talk about the child day by day, the child is yours, so what?" Not yours, so what? I, Qi Jingyan, suffered a loss from you, so what? Who hasn't stepped on shit a few times in his life? ”
"You...... Why do you have to say it so ruthlessly, I can explain the events of that day, I can make up for the mistakes I made, why don't you give me a chance. What the hell am I ...... Where is it not as good as Lin Shijun? ”
"A key with a lock, you're fine, but you're not the key that locks me. Please also ask Zhong Gongzi to respect himself, don't pester me in the future, my husband is very jealous. ”
