Chapter Ninety-Five: Halfway in Distress
Huang Sicong listened to Huang's words, obviously unwilling to help, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Do they think they have less money? Then I'll add another 100,000 taels, it's enough, right? Those poor officials can't earn this money for the rest of their lives! ”
After being slapped by Lu Jiayue that night, Huang Sicong was full of anger, but after two days, his anger disappeared, and he remembered Lu Jiayue's charming little appearance, and his heart became more and more itchy, but he didn't dare to be casual and despise her, he thought about it for a few days, and finally came up with a way to marry with a lot of money.
He is so persistent, not all because he likes Lu Jiayue's appearance, most of it is just because the woman who is smooth sailing on weekdays and has a slight eye-catcher, as long as he spends a little silver, there is nothing he can't get.
Now that he meets Lu Jiayue is a tricky master, his ambition is more and more aroused, and he secretly vows to hold the beauty in his arms.
So he quietly begged Huang to ask for his marriage, and when Huang heard it, even if he asserted that this matter was impossible, he couldn't stand Huang Sicong's hard work, so he hardened his head to give it a try.
Sure enough, Mrs. Qu gave her a faceless face on the spot, not only rejected her, but also said that she didn't know the severity and encouraged her nephew's dirty thoughts.
The third room is rich, and the Huang family's life has always been free and easy, and there is no need to flatter in front of Mrs. Qu on weekdays, but I didn't expect to suffer this idle scene for my nephew today.
Huang stretched out his finger and poked Huang Sicong's forehead, and said hatefully: "What they value is the family, the character, not the silver!" Silly nephew, why don't you understand? In their eyes, although we are rich, we are also full of copper smell, lowly and lowly! ”
Before the words fell, Qu You strode in.
After being beaten for no reason, Qu You was even more aggrieved than Huang, and before he could stand still, he raised his leg and kicked Huang Sicong, shouting angrily: "Something without conscience!" I allowed you to come to live at home, and I matched you to meet my eldest brother, and you repay me like this? ”
This kick actually didn't use much effort, after all, Qu You's business sometimes had to rely on the Huang family, and if he really kicked Huang Sicong, he couldn't explain it to the Huang family.
But the anger in his heart was unbearable, and he didn't think much about it, so he got down.
Huang Sicong was kicked and fell to the ground.
"What are you doing here?!" Huang exclaimed, pushed Qu You, and hurriedly helped Huang Sicong up, "It's just asking for a marriage match, the old lady and sister-in-law don't look down on Sicong, just refuse, Sicong has never done anything, why do you fight people as soon as you come in and don't distinguish between what is right and wrong?" ”
There was a lot of commotion in the house, and Qu Qian and Duan Wenxin hid outside under the window and listened to it lively.
Duan Wenxin whispered to Qu Qian and smiled: "This adds up to 300,000 taels of silver... Maybe Lu Jiayue was tempted, so she nodded and agreed. ”
"That's not necessarily," Qu Qian snorted, her eyes showing disdain, "She can't even look down on Cousin Rui, can she look down on Cousin Cong?" ”
In her eyes, Ding Rui is already the best man in the world, and only Lu Jiayue is a fool with eyes and beads, so she will look down on Ding Rui.
Duan Wenxin covered his lips and smiled: "Then only the prince can enter her eyes?" ”
Qu Qian couldn't help but sneer: "The prince chooses a concubine, that is to have a family background, appearance and temperament, and everything is outstanding, she is a little fox, and she still wants to marry into the royal family?" I don't know who will be the culprit in the future! ”
When the movement in the house stopped and everyone dispersed, Huang Sicong walked out of the courtyard of the third room, looked dejected, and went back to the front yard alone.
Duan Wenxin quietly followed.

Leisure time is easy to pass.
In a blink of an eye, it is approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, and the sky is getting brighter and hotter.
Lu Jiayue is afraid of heat and doesn't like the sun, except for going to Mrs. Qu and Meng's house early in the morning to say hello, the rest of the time she nests in Chuntang House, either naughty with the maids, or occasionally doing needlework with Qu Ying.
After that birthday, Huang Si never appeared in the inner courtyard again.
The days have finally calmed down.
It wasn't until Xiaoshun Xiaocheng came in with news from outside, saying that King Wei had been released from claustrophobia by the holy oracle and returned to the court.
... But there was no movement on King Jin's side.
This is also the only thing that can worry Lu Jiayue at the moment.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, because yesterday Ding Yu sent someone to send a post, saying that Mrs. Ding returned to Suiguo Mansion from Jingyue Nunnery and invited Lu Jiayue to go to the festival together. Lu Jiayue got up early, went to tell Mrs. Qu and Meng Shi again, and took advantage of the fact that the sun was not yet scorching, so she hurriedly took the carriage that came to pick her up from the Duke of Suiguo.
Xin Zhu was going to follow, but because Lu Jiayue deliberately left her at home to rest for a day, she didn't follow.

Ding Can and Ah Li came out of the garden and walked all the way to the market.
After walking for more than an hour, Ah Li only felt that his feet were faintly sore, and finally couldn't help but ask Ding Can: "Master, are you really going to go back?" ”
Ding Can raised his head and looked ahead, and his feet didn't stop.
"It's almost there."
Yesterday, the people in the Mansion went to his garden to spread the word, saying that Mrs. Ding had returned to the Mansion of Suiguo from the nunnery, and that she was going to spend the Dragon Boat Festival in the mansion and let him go back too. This was unprecedented good news for him, but I heard that Mrs. Ding asked Ding Yu to invite Lu Jiayue to come to celebrate the festival together...
He began to hesitate.
If you go back like this, you must meet Lu Jiayue.
But if you don't go back, Mrs. Ding has not returned to the house for several years in Jingyue Nunnery, and it is rare to come back for a gathering today, if he is not there, it is a loss of filial piety.
He has been in charge of Jin Yuwei for several years, and he has always been decisive in killing, saying nothing about it, and there has never been a time when he can't make up his mind.
This time, I was really stumped.
So he neither rode a horse nor a car, but walked all the way to the Suiguo Mansion slowly.
It seems that as long as you go back later, you don't have to see Lu Jiayue...
Ah Li also looked ahead, his expression extremely desperate.
Where is it almost there? This is only to Huarong Fang, which is still a few miles away from Yongping Fang!
It's still half an hour to go!
Ah Li was full of bitterness and grievances, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Silently followed behind Ding Can, and did another tea kung fu, and a carriage ran behind him, Ah Li had no intention of glancing, and called out.
"Master, it's the carriage in the house!"
He thought about going up to stop the carriage and went back to the Suiguo Mansion with Ding Can.
Who knew that Ding Can didn't pay attention to him at all, and paced forward.
Ah Li was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Seeing that the carriage was running away, Ah Li called out again.
"Master, shouldn't the carriage go straight when it goes back to the house? ---How did the carriage turn and go down the alley by the side of the road? Isn't there someone sitting in it? ”
A thought flashed through Ding Can's mind.
He looked back.
If you go from Futai Fang, where the Qu family is located, to Yongping Fang, where Suiguo Gongfu is located, Huarong Fang here is a must-pass place.
Could it be that the little girl was sitting in that carriage?
If the carriage had picked her up from Qufu and taken her to Suiguo Mansion, there would have only been a straight road to reach it, but how could it turn into the roadside alley?
didn't have time to think about it anymore, Ding Can hurried after him.
