Chapter 24: Marriage
Song followed the letter in her hand, and she couldn't know the contents of it.
"Brother Qian......" she looked down at him.
"Since you arrived in Bingzhou, you have always been in contact with the capital." Sheng Qian didn't speak quickly, but he broke in Song's heart, "You let me take a concubine, which is also my mother's idea." It was the idea of the Song family, afraid that I would have stiffened my wings after leaving the capital for so many years. ”
He never spoke to her like this, and Song was already half-kneeling on the ground.
Zhou wanted to help her on the side, but she pushed her away, "Brother Qian, you have never doubted me. So sometimes she hopes that he will know and let her be relieved as soon as possible, but she is also afraid that he will know.
Song hung his head and unconsciously shed a lot of tears.
"Evening Kite", because of the relationship between the total horns, Sheng Qian didn't want to believe that the beautiful woman would become like this, "Why?" ”
Song smiled bitterly, "Why? Who in this world can live without resentment and hatred, people are not grass and trees. I can't have children, I am like an abandoned son of the family, and it is because you don't give up that I haven't become a laughing stock in Beijing. ”
"I married you, and you said to me that you would treat me as a sister for the rest of your life. The wedding night, okay, the days passed like this, and ten years passed in a blink of an eye. But Brother Qian, do you know what ten years means to a woman? ”
She paused.
"I watched Liu Yun marry you and watch her give birth to children for you. But what about me, I've only had this cold bed for more than a decade. My illness is slowly cured, and I can be a normal woman, but I know that you don't have me in your heart. People are old and yellow, and even more not, you don't give me a child, it's because of her! You can't even touch me! ”
The tears in Song's eyes were like beads with broken threads, "I sometimes look at this big house and panic, and when I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't know why I'm alive." You and Liu Yun are a family, and I'm like a spectator-" So she hated Liu Yun, and looked at Sheng Qian again, her expression was hard to say, "Why do you want to marry me, you shouldn't marry me!" ”
Even if he let her fend for herself, it's like keeping a cold couch today.
Sheng Qian looked at the tearful face, and it was more than ten years ago. Song Wanzheng will protect him, from the time he was born, "I have always been sorry for you." ”
If Song Wanzheng had blocked that knife for her mother from the beginning, there would have been no him. If it hadn't been for that beginning, she would have married normally and had children.
"I'll send someone to take you back to the capital annex." Sheng Qian said.
"Master", Zhou knelt down with a puff on the side, "Madame has worked hard without credit for many years, sir, Madame has not harmed anyone?" ”
Sheng Qian took out the ink-stained white paper one by one, "Ten years ago, the midwife and doctor who delivered the baby for Yun Niang. That bowl of medicine that was changed, you lied to me for ten years. I'm sorry for you, I can't afford to pay it back—but I can't let my wife and daughter be in a dangerous situation. ”
Ruthless or not, Song Wanzheng closed her eyes.
He is not ruthless, but it is not her who is affectionate.
——
There was a sudden heavy rain at night, Yun Niang hurriedly took Huang's mother to the yard to collect clothes, and urged her subordinates to boil ginger soup.
The summer and autumn seasons change, lest this torrential rain make the two children have a chill.
The wind was blowing in the night, and she and Huang settled their two children, and they were bowing their heads to salute, when water droplets gradually continued to fall to the ground. Yun Niang looked up, but saw Sheng Qian dressed in black, with black hair dripping on the bridge of her tall nose, and the whole person was a little embarrassed.
"How did it come out with such a heavy rain?" Putting down the things in her hand, she was busy trying to untie his wet clothes, but she was directly held down by someone.
Huang's mother has been an old fritter for many years, so she immediately quit the door.
"I'm leaving in two days, and I haven't packed it yet?" Yun Niang instinctively felt that something was wrong with him, but she couldn't say it, so she had to avoid kissing. Soon, Sheng Qian took off his outermost clothes, and his round shoulders were like pearls in the night, "Don't-"
The thunder swept by, and the woman's delicate skin intertwined with the man's favorable shoulder blades, one moment awake, the other moment back into chaos.
……
After the event, the two leaned together, and the outside window was wide open.
A drizzle drifted in through the window, Sheng Qian blocked outside, and after the storm and rain was a delicate feeling, "Does it still hurt?" He rubbed her waist and was pushed away by her.
"Don't be angry, your voice is small, a few can't hear it." He coaxed her and bit her shoulder.
Yun Niang turned her head to look at him, she had always been careful, and she also noticed that he was not normal today, "What happened?" ”
Sheng Qian still pretended to be confused, "What's the matter, I made you hurt too much-" Yun Niang turned her head before she finished speaking, "If you don't want to say it, I didn't force you, you don't have to fool me with this kind of words." ”
She ignored people for a long time, and she was really angry when she saw it. After a while, before he turned around, Sheng Qian stretched out his arm and took the person into his arms, and put his head into her arms, Yun Niang wanted to retreat from him, but he spoke.
"There is indeed something going on today", he hugged her, his voice a little dry, "I sent someone to send her back to the capital first just now." ”
Yun Niang was slightly stunned, and only after a moment did she react to what he said.
He continued, "I've talked to her a lot today. Thinking about it for so many years, I suddenly felt like a wicked person. A few days ago, he told her why he married the Song family back then, "I delayed her for a long time, if I didn't bring her to Bingzhou at the beginning, maybe she would have a better home." ”
For women, the Song family is indeed pitiful. But for Yun Niang, this is just a person who threatens their mother and daughter, and now Sheng Qian is doing this, as if putting their mother and daughter in a safer position.
She smiled and gently cupped his head, "Don't think too much. For her, you are already the best place to be. "A woman who can't have children, with a net worth like the Song family, wants to marry the right family, and she has no heirs in the future, her life will only be a hundred times more difficult than now.
Maybe it's what the Buddhists call cause and effect, and they owe cause from the beginning.
Song can't do it, Sheng Qian too, he owed her at the beginning, but the word love has been difficult in the past, and she is too, the general public in the world can't get through it, "If you feel guilty, you should promise it to her in the next life, and you will pay her back." ”
Sheng Qian glanced at her, Yun Niang was still stunned, he suddenly bit her chin, "Do you want to leave me alone in the next life?" ”
——
It only took a day to clean up the ceremony, and everything inside and outside the house was put in order.
Today is to deal with the affairs of the next person, the Song family has already left, Yun Niang sent the people from her own courtyard, and she is busy dealing with the affairs in the house. Last night, she was pestered by Sheng Qian for a long time, and now her eyes are still a little blue, "So the person who is registered, two taels of silver per person, will return the deed of sale." ”
gave the booklet to Huang's mother, and said to the servants below, "After receiving the money in a while, let's go home." ”
"Aunt Xie." After thanking the officials, they went to the official's house and received the money. Except for Chen Cen.
Yun Niang looked at him suspiciously for a while, and when the two looked at each other, Chen Cen hung his head and knelt in front of Yun Niang again, "Auntie, the little one doesn't want to leave." The little one wants to go to the capital with him, and the little one wants to serve you all his life. ”
The mansion he entered at eleven or twelve was also watched by Yun Niang, "What nonsense." How can anyone be a slave all his life, your father and mother are looking forward to you giving the family a long face. ”
Chen Cen also wanted to say that Huang's mother had already finished the roll call with the booklet, and said, "The master has sent the two brothers Ma Wu and Ma Six home." Now that there is a shortage of people around to catch a car, doesn't Chen Cen also want to go to Beijing to catch the exam? Madame, what a coincidence? ”
"Auntie, the little one wants to go to Beijing to catch the exam, go all the way, and I am willing to sign a living deed to the house again."
Chen Cen wants to catch the exam, and everyone in Yun Niang's yard knows it. It is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, he is also a real skill, and he has already passed the name of lifting people, "You are also a lifting person now, and you are afraid of being laughed at when you enter Beijing as a slave." If you really have the ability to excel, it may affect your future. ”
"Sheng Mansion is gracious to me, if there is no Sheng Mansion. Chen Cen and his father have starved to death on the streets. is the champion of high school, and Chen Cen is also a member of the house. Loyal lady for a lifetime. ”
Yun Niang frowned, she hadn't thought about it yet. At the end of the head, a little girl dressed in red appeared, holding another bean paste bag with a sugar gourd in her hand.
"Chen Cen, go and lead the carriage, I want to leave the house."
Red-dressed and white-faced, with bright eyes and bright teeth. The most beautiful thing in the world is nothing more than this, Chen Cen lowered his eyes, saluted Yun Niang, and soon ran to the back to lead the carriage. Sheng Mingzhu was afraid that she would be caught by her mother and prevented her from going out, so she fled and walked away with the spirit beads.
"It's all half-grown girls, and they don't have a shape yet." Yun Niang shook her head.
"I'm about to leave Bingzhou, and that kind of place in the capital has to be restrained", Huang's mother sighed, "It also makes her disperse now, and it's time to say goodbye, and she will become someone else's daughter-in-law in the future, so she won't be as free as she is now." ”
When it comes to her daughter's marriage, Yun Niang is also a little bored, she is a concubine, and Mingzhu is a concubine. Although Sheng Qian didn't say it explicitly, she also knew that if she really entered Beijing, Mingzhu's marriage would not be arranged by her, she was a concubine, and she couldn't be the wife of a high family, and marrying into a cold family would involve a lot, and the Sheng family would not necessarily agree.
Huang's mother looked at her frowning, knowing what she was worried about, "It's still early, and I have a year or two to think about it when I enter Beijing." Besides, the master will definitely take a good look at each other. After a while, he said, "Chen Cen boy looks very good, and now he has been admitted to the lifting of people, but it's a pity that his identity is too poor, and his mother died early." ”
Yun Niang shook her head and began to move the abacus under her hand again. settled the accounts of the subordinates, as well as the private property that Sheng Qian handed over to her a few days ago.
——
The other end of the cigarette is still waiting at home, and the two ends have never been out.
A few days ago, Sheng Mingzhu came to the house to make such a fuss, everyone knows it, and now it is rumored that she is a poisonous woman. She can't stay in Bingzhou City anymore, and now she just looks forward to her aunt returning to the capital to take her.
"The Zheng family is here to urge the marriage again", Chen took the Geng post of the two, there are many things today, and there are many more wrinkles on her brows, "What do you think, the marriage was decided a few years ago, and now it has been delayed again and again, and in a few days, the Zheng family is afraid that even the bride price will be withdrawn." ”
In the past few days, the Zheng family has been urging marriage, because of the big trouble a few days ago, Zheng Rui became a swan meat who wanted to eat toads. If you run away from Sheng Yan, I am afraid that the marriage will not be successful, but the same is true for Sheng Yan.
Sheng Yan shook his head, "There's no hurry. ”
Chen Shi looked at her and shook her head is angry, a few days ago, Sheng Mingzhu smashed the house all because of her, and she didn't know what to do, and now she was pointed at when she went out, and threw down the Geng post, "Whatever you want." ”
She turned her head and went out, and the father of the cigarette in front of her walked over, and when she saw her far away, she said.
"Do you know what I saw on the road when I came back from the car this morning?" , Sheng Yan's father approached, and his tone was more urgent, "The carriage of the Sheng family, the person sitting in it is the Song family, and the car is full of eyebrows, and it is out of favor at first glance." But see how capable this Aunt Liu is, I said let you not mess with her, you prefer to follow the blind improvisation, you can't take advantage of it, and you almost didn't finish your house. ”
Sheng Yan raised his head violently and ran down from the bed, "Mother! ”
