Seeing that his son Zhou Zhengren was gone, Yin Xian glanced at Mingyue meaninglessly, it seemed that a begonia had grown on Mingyue's face, Mingyue has always adhered to the life creed that the enemy does not move, I am more immovable than the enemy, and she drank water naturally, as if she was unaware of Yin Xian's examination of her.

Yin Xian turned his head to Zhai and said: "Mother, since Mingyun already belongs to Zhou Lang, going back to marry and carrying a sedan chair is also a matter of going through the motions, it is better for Mingyun to stay directly and save the money for the wedding." ”

After speaking, he took out a silver ticket of fifty taels of silver from his arms, handed it to Zhai and said, "Mother, this is the hired silver, you always take it." ”

He took out a silver ticket of twenty taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Yin Jindao: "Big brother, this is the silver for buying a dowry and holding a banquet, Mingyun doesn't have to worry about eating and wearing here, and you are reluctant to make clothes when you buy silk and satin as a dowry, so it is better to fold the silver and give it to the Ming Dynasty and Ming Khan to marry his daughter-in-law in the future." You see, into it? ”

Yin Jin looked happy, took the silver ticket, how could he be unhappy, the fourth brother Yin Cai has also reached the age of marriage, whether this dowry can go to the hands of the big house in the future can be said to be certain, this silver is not the same, it was really handed over to him, and it was said that it would be used by his two sons to marry his daughter-in-law, how could he not be able to carry it? The look of joy was palpable.

Zhai received fifty taels of silver, and was naturally happy.

The Yin family is happy, Mingyun is not happy, I don't know how many times I have dreamed that I am sitting in a sedan chair, wearing a red wedding dress embroidered by myself, and carrying nine or even eighteen dowries behind me, now everything has come to naught, and I was slept with by the old man Zhou Su in a daze, and now even the dowry and wedding are saved, is this still a marriage marriage? How can it be the same as the widow man in the village who has no matchmaker?

Even if Mingyun was reluctant, the matter was a foregone conclusion, she was even deprived of the right to go back to her parents' house, without any mental preparation, just one night, from a girl with infinite longing for family affairs and Lang Jun, to a concubine who taught her husband and children and waited for the housewife, and her "son and daughter" were her cousins and cousins yesterday; Her mistress, who was her aunt yesterday; Her father-in-law was still her brother-in-law yesterday.

Life sometimes comes to mind, it's such a big irony.

Yin Xian's goal has been achieved, so he will no longer keep the Yin family, Yin Xian asked Mingyun to send everyone to the carriage back to Xiangyang Village on behalf of the Zhou family on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Song'er didn't wait for Yin Xian to ask, she already knelt on the ground and cried: "Madam, the slave and maid know that she is wrong, last night Miss Mingyue was disgusted with the hot water in the bath for a while, and the water was cold for a while, and then she thought that the slave maid was washing painfully, so she drove the slave and maid out. When leaving, Miss Biao lowered her head again, wearing Aunt Yun's clothes, it was the slave and the maid who were careless, you should punish the slave and maid. ”

Yin Xian raised his hand to Song'er and sighed: "Not only will I not punish you, but I will also reward you, it is better to make a stupid misfortune than to be a shrewd one, that Yin Mingyue is very different from the little village girl who was greedy for wealth and nobility before, I am afraid that I have already understood my thoughts, so I deliberately got out and blamed Mingyun." She had already guessed that this porridge was not an ordinary porridge, and she deliberately wanted to help Mingyun, but she didn't want Mingyun to be ignorant of good and bad, and mistook her sincerity for falsehood. Giving Mingyun to the master is the best result. ”

Song'er breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that she would be beaten and punished, but she didn't expect it to be as Madame wanted. Said boldly: "Madam, this Miss Mingyue almost ruined your good deeds, do you want the slave to find someone to teach her a lesson?" Like to the little prostitute of Midori Haruka? ”

Lu Yao is just a secret-prostitute, and some time ago he was fascinated by Zhou Sui. Yin Xian himself is not in good health, and he always turns a blind eye to Zhou Zhi's overnight stay in the Qinglou, but this green Yao is not greedy enough to swallow the snake, and he pits Zhou Zhi with a lot of silver, I heard that Yin Xian is a sick man with no tomorrow today, and he also wants to marry into the Zhou Mansion and counterattack into the housewife, which touches Yin Xian's reverse scales, and uses some means, so that this Lu Yao will never dare to see anyone again.

After this incident, Yin Xian had to think about his "posthumous affairs", first set up an obedient person to stand in his seat, so as not to have a powerful and insidious person in the future, and in the future there will be children to fight for property with her children, so this is the idea of giving Zhou a concubine, if there is a sister is the most appropriate, she had to fight the idea of her niece.

Listening to Song'er's words, Yin Xian's eyes looked at Song'er with apprehensive eyes, but his expression seemed to go back to the distant past through Song'er, and he sighed: "Who is born a vicious woman?" If it weren't for the hard grinding of my mother-in-law back then, the concubine was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the prodigal hooves outside were pregnant with ghost fetus, why would I be like this? How could the body be so bad? ”

Song'er hurriedly bowed her head and was silent, her mother was a good sister of Yin Xian back then, but later she died of illness and was homeless, and she was bought into the Zhou Mansion when the Zhou family was developed, so she knew a lot about Yin Xian's affairs, and it could be said that she couldn't look back.

Yin Xian's face was solemn and said: "Song'er, you have to remember that this Yin Mingyue is good at arithmetic, and she knows the means of the back house well. Although I don't like people like her to marry into the Zhou Mansion as an aunt, if I marry Zhengren as a daughter-in-law, I will be happy to see it, and it is not bad for Zhengde, and I don't have to worry about which prodigal hoof will rob my son of my son's things in the future. ”

Song'er's brain is a little knotted, what does Madame mean by this? When an aunt is 100,000 unhappy, but when a daughter-in-law is willing, why is the difference so big? I really don't understand.

Song'er changed the topic and said: "Madam, although Aunt Yun is just a concubine, but after all, she is a bride, it is the tip of the master's heart, and her face was quite unkind when she sent off the guest just now, since you even gave up the gold bracelet, why don't you give her a face, hold a wedding, and let her have the scenery in Xiangyang Village?" ”

Yin Xian sneered, her thin nails were almost embedded in the flesh, and she said coldly: "I am also a girl from Xiangyang Village, I have never been beautiful back then, how can she be beautiful, I just let everyone know that she is just a concubine, a concubine who can only wear orange and not a red wedding dress; It was the concubine that my Zhou family bought back with seventy taels of silver! The slut who seduces the lord like the prodigal hooves of the Qinglou! A prodigal hoof who is looking forward to my death day and night in charge of the Zhou family!! I can't let her be a mother for the rest of her life, she can only be a plaything to sleep with!! Yin Xian scolded louder and louder, coughed heavily, and his face became more and more pale.

Song'er was silent, and sighed lightly, why did Mrs. torture others and herself like this? It's really better to be a poor wife than a rich concubine, Aunt Yun is only afraid that she will be lonely and lonely in this backyard in the future, and when she dies, she doesn't even have a son who will break the pot and beat the coffin.

At the gate of Zhou's mansion, Zhai got into the carriage with a happy face, Mingyue didn't get into the carriage very easily, she wanted to buy something in the market.

Yin Cai saw that Mingyue didn't leave, so he secretly stayed.

The carriage had to go, and Mingyue was just about to turn around and leave, but Mingyun had already stopped her, and said with a lofty posture: "Yin Mingyue, you are a natural poor life, and the opportunity in your hand can slip through your fingers!" ”

Mingyue shook her head and said calmly: "Mingyun, I have never regretted the past, I hope you don't regret it either, because there is no regret medicine to buy." After speaking, he strode towards the market, leaving a bright cloud with jumping feet.

Yin Mingyue walked towards the market, Mingyue had been to the county twice, once was arrested and put in prison, once came in a hurry, and returned in a hurry, it was the first time to go shopping aimlessly like today.

This street is called Guizi Hutong, which is 200 meters long, and the bluestone road is flanked on both sides by vendors selling food and drink, which is very lively.

At the very edge of the alley, an old lady with a skin like a skinned face, leaning forward, looked ahead in a panic, while shouting and selling eggs, and in the basket in her right hand, there were only about 20 eggs.

When winter came, the two old hens of their own house began to strike, and there were not many eggs, so Mingyue stepped forward, pointed to the eggs in the basket and said, "Old woman, how can you sell these eggs?" ”

The old lady didn't even look at Mingyue, but looked at the direction of the alley behind Mingyue through Mingyue, and replied absentmindedly: "Two pennies a piece, twenty-five eggs, all of them are given forty copper plates." ”

Caught up with the tearful big price cut? Suddenly dropped ten yuan, Mingyue took out fifty yuan, put it all in the old lady's hand and said: "Mother-in-law, I came out in a hurry, I didn't even bring a basket, give you the old fifty yuan, can this basket be made for me too?" ”

The old woman handed the basket to Mingyue in one go, and ran away in the opposite direction towards the mouth of the alley.

Mingyue had an ominous feeling in her heart, last time because of the basket, she was arrested and quickly became Yuan Siniang and entered the county jail; This time, the old lady just gave the basket to herself, and she ran away like a dog chasing a rabbit.

Mingyue was puzzled, and the basket was pulled by a pair of big hands, and it was too late to run.

Raising his eyes to see the owner of the rough hand, the owner of the hand was a twenty-year-old man, burly, with eyes like copper bells, and a tangled scar on his face, and his words were deafening: "Okay, I didn't catch your grandmother last time, but I caught you this time, give money." The big man raised two fingers.

Mingyue's head banged, and sure enough, she was cheated again, Yuan Siniang provoked the servants, fortunately, the county master was a clear one, and he could go home safely; This old lady is obviously provoking a usury with a donkey rolling, and what's even more terrifying is that this is an ancient place, selling children, selling daughters, selling jokes, taking life and meat, everything is possible, and they are all legal and compliant.

Mingyue suddenly regretted that she had dropped the contract with Mingyun last night, and it was much happier to commit herself to Zhou Lawsuit than to commit herself to someone who didn't know who, or even to dozens of people who didn't know who.

Mingyue was thinking wildly in her heart, and said pitifully on the surface: "Big brother, you, you have recognized the wrong person, I am an orphan." ”

"Mingyue, don't be afraid, Uncle is here to save you."

Yin Cai jumped out at an inopportune time, and a group of crows flew over Mingyue's head, and said to the big man with an unorthodox face in embarrassment: "Big brother, he's recognized the wrong person." ”
