Chapter 213: Punishment
Last night, in order to appease the Chen family and make her realize the seriousness of the situation, Du Jinning told the entanglement between the two families, as well as Qi Bokun's official position and status in Lishui County. If Chen wants to speak ruthlessly at this time, he naturally has to pull out the tiger skin as a banner to scare and scare Yan Cen.
Mrs. Song was confused when she heard this: "This ...... What does it have to do with Lord Qi and the Guan family? It's just a proposal, a success, a success, a failure, what do you do if you go so far? ā
"Then you go back and ask Yan Cen what he did to lose his conscience, and then ask him how he lost his errand in the academy. He also pretended to be a gentleman from the academy to come out and deceive, I will send you to see the official now, and you and Yan Cen will have to eat in prison. Chen shouted.
As the head of the college, Dong Dacheng provides vegetables for the college's canteen every day, and he has heard a little about what happens in the college. As soon as he heard the information revealed by Chen's words, he felt that the situation was serious, and whispered to his wife: "You and Sister-in-law Du have arrested this mother-in-law, and I will go to the academy to talk to the mountain chief." As he spoke, he ran in the direction of the academy, and on the way, he didn't forget to call his eldest son to come over to help.
The more Mrs. Song listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, Yan Cen was not a gentleman in the academy, she knew, but Yan Cen said that the old lady of the Yan family asked him to prepare for the exam at home, and he studied carefully for half a year, so that he could be admitted to the examination in the autumn, and he would return to the academy to be a gentleman after the autumn. She didn't have any doubts.
But listening to the meaning of Chen's words, this is not the case at all.
"IāI was entrusted by him to propose marriage, and I don't know anything else." Mrs. Song was a little flustered, "Then that's it, just because I haven't been here." With that, she wanted to leave. But I didn't want to be stopped directly by Aunt Dong.
"You ...... What do you guys do here? She trembled with fear.
"Don't be afraid, my family will go to Guan Shanchang. If nothing happens to you, you will not be held accountable. Aunt Dong said, "You better go to the house first and have a cup of tea, and then the mountain chief will make a decision in a while." ā
Mrs. Song really didn't expect Huan Huan to come to the door to propose, why did she fall to such a point, she suddenly hated Yan Cen in her heart. People wanted to stop her, and she couldn't leave as an old woman, so she simply followed Chen into the door and sat down to wait for news from the academy.
Fortunately, Zhuangzi is very close to the academy, and Dong Dacheng is fast, so he found Guan Lehe as soon as he arrived at the academy.
Therefore, it was just a cup of tea, and he came back, and said to Mrs. Song: "Guan Shanchang has written a letter to the county lord and told Yan Cen about it. was resigned by the academy and came out in the name of Mr. the academy to swagger and deceive, and his virtue was lost, so he didn't want the name of this year's food student. The mountain chief also asked you and me to tell Yan Cen that if he stretched out his hand to the Du family again, no matter what he did, the Guan family would definitely make him ruined, and the Yan family would not protect him at that time. ā
Mrs. Song was relieved to see that this matter did not implicate herself, and promised again and again: "I will definitely tell you, I will tell you." ā
"The mountain chief said, be a matchmaker in the future, don't just covet money, keep your eyes open, don't be deceived and don't know."
"Yes, yes, I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't know that Yan Cen looks like a dog, and he actually deceives people. I'll be sure to find out later. Mrs. Song scolded Yan Cen twice with the same enemy, and when she saw that Dong Dacheng was willing to let her go, she went out as soon as she slipped away, and she was still running so fast at her age.
Seeing that Mrs. Song was gone, Dong Dacheng explained to Chen: "The mountain chief said that Yan Cen just asked someone to come to the door to propose marriage, although it was in the name of Mr. Academy, but when the time came, he could completely push this on Mrs. Song." Everyone knows that the matchmaker's mouth is not credible, and everything is exaggerated. If they were arrested and brought to the yamen, even if they argued face to face, Yan Cen could also shirk the blame. Therefore, the mountain chief directly wrote a letter to the county lord to detain the crime. It doesn't affect your sister's reputation. Otherwise, if it is rumored that you are not forgiving the matchmaker, your reputation will not be good. ā
Chen also knows that every line has rules for every line, and it is normal for matchmakers to exaggerate and even not match their words. If she persists in this way, the matchmaker in the entire Lishui County will share the same hatred and talk nonsense about her family's reputation. Guan Lehe is now only punishing Yan Cen alone, and does not hold Mrs. Song accountable, this is the most appropriate, it is completely for the good of the Du family.
She gratefully stood up and saluted in the direction of the academy: "Thank you, Chief, for thinking about my family." ā
Dong Dacheng saw that Chen was an understanding person, and bowed his head slightly: "You just understand." If it's okay, we'll go back. ā
Chen took some sugar cakes from Xie's and stuffed them into Aunt Dong'er's hands before sending them away.
Closing the courtyard door, Du Fangling asked, "Mother, what's going on?" ā
Chen didn't want to raise his daughters too stupidly and didn't know anything, so he told the whole story of the matter, and said: "No matter what happens in the future, you will also have some eyes, don't just look at the surface, some things are really not as simple as they seem on the surface." ā
All three sisters shuddered.
used to live in a small mountain village, although there was the oppression and scolding of Du Chensheng and Niu's people, everything was on the bright side. They really didn't expect that there were people in this world who were so insidious.
"Okay, Sister Ling, Sister Hui bring the soy milk in and cook it, Sister Fei, come here, I'll tell you something." Chan said and walked to her bedroom.
Du Fangfei guessed that he was talking about his own family, and followed her with his head down.
Du Fangling hesitated for a moment, wanting to go over and eavesdrop, but Du Fanghui grabbed her arm.
"You don't want to know about the eldest sister's marriage?" Du Fangling turned her head and glared at Du Fanghui.
"When the family affair is booked, we will naturally know. If you don't work anymore, you won't be able to make dry tofu by noon. Du Fanghui said.
Du Fangling had to stomp her feet, and together with Du Fanghui, she carried a large bucket of soy milk into the kitchen and got busy.
In the bedroom, Chen walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and did not ask Du Fangfei to sit, and said directly: "I discussed with Brother Ning last night, and I plan to wait for your Aunt Xu to come over in the afternoon, and I will book your family affairs." ā
Du Fangfei was startled, raised his head and looked at Chen: "Mother, don't." Didn't you say wait for me for a year? ā
"Wait a little longer, and something will happen. Look at today, how sinister it is. If it weren't for Sister-in-law Yang coming over to remind you, and your brother would have been alert and guessed what was going on in advance, maybe we would have fallen into the trap. Chen said hatefully.
Du Fangfei's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but his lips opened for a long time and closed them again. She was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Mother, the surname Yan family, can you really compete with the Guan family?" ā
