Chapter 117: Fighting for a wife
Wen Jin once saw the second aunt's family heirloom, although it is not valuable, but the workmanship is still very meticulous, especially the silver and the red of agate are very good, which adds a lot of color to this set of heads.
There are also some ruler fabrics, most of which were sent by Shen Jun, and Wei also went to Fucheng to buy them, but Shen Jun gave them, and the best ones in Fucheng could not be compared, and Wei Chenglan said that the girls of the Li family were very good, and Wei Shi was afraid of neglecting others, so he desperately took out the best things in the house, a total of eight carries, and asked Wang Han to take people and send them to Lijiazhuang.
The Li family received the dowry, and the two families wrote a marriage letter, and this matter was a nail in the coffin, and they wanted to regret and quit their relatives, which was very criticized and condemned in this world.
Wen Jin felt that in this world, the etiquette of engagement was very strict, but the process of engagement made her feel particularly hasty, two strange men and women, who had never even met each other, were decided to stay together for the rest of their lives, which was also ridiculous.
But Wen Han didn't think so, and after getting engaged, he sent a letter to the girl of the Li family: "The cold wind blows the haze, the clouds cover the sky, the rain of embroidered needles, and the heart of my heart." ”
He stuffed the letter into the jewelry prepared by Webster, and hung a jewel on a collar, so that Wen Jin found out, secretly took it out and took a look, and sighed in his heart, who said that if they haven't met, there is no love? Her honest Brother Wen Han would even write "I love you as much as the drizzle in that spring, endless and boundless." ”
Among the gifts of the Li family, there was a purse for Wen Han, which contained a flower letterhead with a small poem written on it: "Wutong Huangmei rain, sorrow is like the wind, lovesickness is difficult to solve, only with you." ”
The hand-painted flower letterhead, the beautiful small block script, and the simple, sincere and fresh words made Wen Han fascinated, and he always hoped to have a girl who understood that he loved him for a lifetime, and now, he felt that he had fulfilled his wish.
Well, girls also want lovers, just like the yellow plum rain and catkins, these two people are really made in heaven.
Wen Jin had heard a lot of such rumors, and knew that young men and women at this time, even if they hadn't seen them, would be affectionate, she didn't know if the behavior of the Li family girl was frivolous, but soon when she saw Wen Han's expression, she knew that her cousin fell in love with each other all of a sudden.
It seems that the girl of the Li family has a normal reaction.
Wen Han in the academy, just like this, guarded a small poem, began his romantic love journey, in addition to studying hard every day, when he was tired, he looked at the colorful clouds in the sky, as if the light clouds were the posture of the girl in his heart.
Most of the classmates are older than Wen Han, most of them are fathers, and as people who have come over, they naturally understand why Wen Han's face is full of happiness, and some people will make fun of him.
On this day, Shen Ping stopped in front of Wen Han: "Did your parents give you a kiss in Shaxi County?" ”
"How do you know?" Wen Han was strange.
Shen Ping went back with a fist: "You dare to pry my corner, you don't want to live." ”
"Ahh
"Brother Wenhan, let go, let go, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, don't be like Brother Shen."
Someone came to play a round, the power of the Shen family, no one in the academy knew about it, and there were also many people who befriended Shen Ping.
Someone simply broke Wen Han's hand, Wen Han was not a ruthless person, and he also took advantage of the situation to let Shen Ping go.
Seeing a few classmates by his side, Shen Ping trembled again, glared fiercely, and pointed at Wen Han's face: "I'll tell you, within three months, you will quit the Li family's girl, otherwise, you will want your dog's life." ”
Wen Han stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Ping's fingers, pulled them out, and almost broke Shen Ping's fingers, several classmates were frightened, and they rushed up, and finally pulled Wen Han away, Shen Ping was already pale in pain, and he lost his voice to forgive, that bear-like, so that several persuaders couldn't help but despise it.
Everyone didn't understand why Shen Ping hated Qian Wenhan so much, and asked Shen Ping: "Aren't you already married, and you have a son and a daughter?" ”
"Humph! So what? ”
The faces of the classmates around him have changed, Shen Ping is twenty-seven years old, and he is competing with eighteen-year-old Qian Wenhan for a woman, doesn't he feel that he is much older than a girl? Isn't this an old cow eating tender grass?
Shen Ping didn't notice the change in the eyes of his classmates, still immersed in his thoughts, in the winter moon of last year, he accompanied his mother to the temple to incense, and happened to see Li Xiucai's daughter, at that time, he was full of spirit, stunned there and couldn't even walk, after returning home, he arranged for someone to carry the Li family girl into the door.
In Shen Ping's opinion, giving the identity of a noble concubine and giving a very considerable dowry like the main room is already the greatest dignity for the Li family, but I didn't expect the woman to flatly refuse.
Li Xiucai is famous, his grandfather, or Jinshi, once made a five-grade Zhizhou, and can be regarded as a gentleman, Shen Ping can't force it, but he doesn't give up, he is still plotting slowly, but he doesn't want to go home this time, I heard the nurse's son say that Li Xiucai's daughter is married, and the man is a student of Zhuyun Academy.
Shen Ping didn't inquire which one it was, Qian Wenhan's irrepressible happy expression revealed the secret, Shen Ping had already seen him unpleasantly when Wen Han and Shen Jun, that is, Qian Jun were friends, he was a concubine, and the most taboo thing was that others did not regard him as the serious master of the Shen family, Wen Han was willing to make friends with the young master of his cousin, and he didn't bother him, who was surnamed Shen, how could Shen Ping not be angry? But Shen Mingxi explained to him that he was not allowed to provoke Shen Jun, Shen Ping did not dare to act rashly, his father was a concubine, although Shen Mingxi was a younger brother, he was born as a concubine, and there was also a Tanhualang's fame, if he annoyed the fourth uncle, his father's right to be in charge might be deprived, and Shen Ping had to suppress his stomach.
Shen Jun's identity is a taboo in the Shen family, and no one is allowed to mention it. Therefore, Shen Ping still doesn't know Shen Jun's surname Qian, otherwise, if he is given ten dares, he will not dare to provoke Qian Wenhan.
Now, Shen Jun is gone, Qian Wenhan's talisman is gone, Shen Ping has no scruples, and he will try his best to punish Wenhan who dares to provoke himself and rob the woman Wenhan by himself.
It's a pity that Shen Ping is not Qian Wenhan's opponent at all, and no matter how angry Shen Ping is, he can only temporarily let go and wait for the opportunity.
Shen Ping knew Qian Wenhan's family background, a poor boy with dozens of acres of land, his younger brother couldn't afford to read, why should he compete with himself and win the hearts of beauties, he firmly believed that Li Xiucai rejected himself and married his daughter to a poor boy like Qian Wenhan, which was really against common sense.
In his opinion, is it so important to be a wife? Is it important to give up the slave and call the maid, and live a rich life in silk and satin? How can people who don't understand respect and what freedom and dignity are? Shen Ping thought that the Li family must have been bewitched by Qian Wenhan, this kid must have boasted about how good he was at reading, and gave the Li family a ** soup.
Shen Pingcai got married less than two years ago, and he wanted to forcibly occupy a woman from a good family as a concubine, which caused public anger in Zhuyun Academy.
Most of the students in the Cloud Academy are poor scholars, even if they can afford to read, they are not like Shen Ping, who is worth a huge amount of money, so they are particularly resentful of Shen Ping like this, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, hating to be a womanizer who has dominated the world's beauties.
Besides, those who enter the imperial examination are all clear streams, clear streams, naturally they must have some integrity, pay attention to character, and make friends with a playboy, even if Shen Ping can help them in the future, it will be contemptible in the officialdom, so it turns out that there is a little Jiujiu in his heart, and he also thinks that it is time to find another big tree to climb.
Seeing that the autumn season is imminent, the students of the academy are unprecedentedly employed, Wen Han studies every day, but Shen Ping tries every means to sabotage, fortunately, Wen Han's kung fu in the past two years has not been practiced in vain, and the academy is not allowed to bring his followers, Shen Ping was beaten by Wen Han every time he did evil, he did not play much of a destructive role, but indirectly helped Wen Han exercise his body.
Qian Wenhan has fought hard since he knew that the girl of the Li family refused to be Shen Ping's concubine and chose himself as a poor boy, he wanted to use his own efforts to give his future wife a decent day, and he wanted to let the girl of the Li family not regret rejecting Shen Ping for the rest of her life and choosing to marry herself.
If it weren't for Shen Ping's trouble, Wen Han might have given up half an hour of morning practice and devoted all of it to studying.
Fortunately, he has always maintained a healthy body, otherwise, Wen Han may really let the wicked succeed in a catastrophe that he encountered later.

The Qian family gave eight dowries, not only the people of Shanwo Village, but even the people of Linjin Town soon heard about it. Ordinary households, the next four dowry gifts are many, most of them are only two, therefore, the topic of this dowry has been discussed for a while.
At the beginning, Hu Pozi thought that the Qian family heard that the Huang townsman had taken a fancy to Qian Wenhan and wanted to be in-laws with them, and she would definitely wake up with a smile in her dreams, and she also wondered if she would also ask for a pair of matchmaker shoes to wear, who knew that they refused without mercy, not only that, but also revealed that Ji Xiancheng had also taken a fancy to Qian Wenhan.
"How can a poor talent be so good?" Hu Pozi was secretly jealous, this time I heard that Qian Wenhan had set a Xiucai daughter, Hu Pozi was very gloating, "Hmph, pick and choose, pick up a leaky lamp, this Qian family's eyes are confused, the official's daughter doesn't want it, she wants a poor Xiucai." ”
Hearing that she had given a dowry of eight lifts, Mrs. Hu was jealous again: "It's not a rich family, slapping a swollen face and being fat, pretending to be a rich man, putting the momentum so high, do you want others to live." She was not a person who could keep secrets, and soon told Qian Kuan Kuan all about it.
Qian Chuanchuan and Jiao's had a fight, and then found that the two of them were even more uncared for, Qian Chuanchuan was slightly better, thick-skinned enough, and could make up for others, Jiao's could only sigh at home all day long, and there was no one to complain, and in the end, Jiao's couldn't keep his loneliness, so he had to talk to his sister-in-law again.
Listening to Mrs. Hu's words, Qian Chuanchuan was very jealous in her heart, and ran to Jiao's here to be incited: "Sister-in-law, I'm a fool, even like Wei's, I know how to save a private house, and I even gave eight dowries, how good she is at pretending, when she moved from here, she didn't even let go of the straw futon, what did she say that there was no furniture, hum, until now I didn't know that people are buns with meat, not on the fold, hidden."
Jiao's doesn't think so, what are the things about the separation of the two rooms, she knows very well, Wei has not been in charge of the house since he got married, and Qian Xiancheng is not a person who can make money, what can he do to save a private house? The money for the second room was earned only when I went to Shanwo Village. Jiao's family and the man have settled accounts in the house more than once, the fish, ducks, duck eggs, pigs, rice, and the two rooms are all good for making money, and in a year, two or three hundred taels of silver are more than enough, if it weren't for Qian Wenjin going to Shiwei Village to buy wasteland, the second room will not mention eight dowries, and eighteen can afford it.
Thinking about all the money, it has nothing to do with him, Jiao's is so angry that his liver hurts, and he scolded the old Jiao countless times in his heart, blaming her for making trouble to split up, otherwise, the second room is not his own?
Old Jiao is already skinny and bone-thin, and the bedsores on his body are even worse, and people are confused. The customs of Linjin Town, if the old man is seriously ill, the neighbors will come to visit the patient with gifts, but because of Qian Wenqian's matter, the Qian family's big house is now like the poisonous snake and beast, which makes people avoid it, and no one comes at all, Jiao's will rest assured and boldly abuse the old Jiao's, after the money string is gone, Jiao's also vented his resentment: "You old beggar, born poor, what kind of family split, keep the God of Wealth like the second room out of the door, now people eat meat, and they can't even drink soup here......
She chattered and scolded for a long time, the old Jiao family in the house, his brain slowly became clearer, the second room has been getting better and better in recent years, she is not without regrets, and she once tried to get the money to her side, only hated that Qian Wenjin, the thief had to die at a young age, more slippery than the loach, and she failed to succeed in her calculations several times......
Jiao's voice came intermittently: "The old immortal, this is to pit people to death......
"Disobedient, I knew you were such a black-hearted thing, I said that I wouldn't let you in the door, in my house, eat well and dress warmly, and you don't have to work in the field, the family only encountered a little setback, and you actually abused my aunt's mother-in-law......"
Jiao Shi was startled when she suddenly heard old Jiao scolding herself, and when she ran over and opened the door, she was almost overwhelmed by the stench in the house.
Old Jiao angrily grabbed a dirty bowl next to the bed and wanted to smash it, but at this moment, her last bit of strength was exhausted, her arms were raised, and she fell softly, gurgling a few times in her throat, and then kicked her legs and swallowed her breath.
Jiao Shi stood at the door, seeing all this, she was also frightened, she cursed every day that the old Jiao Shi was not dead, but seeing that she was really dead, she was a little at a loss for a while, she was stunned at the door for a long time, suddenly ran out, called a basin of water, hurriedly scrubbed the old Jiao's body, and then rolled up the dirty bedding under her and threw it into the backyard, then opened the window to breathe, and from the old Jiao's box, took out the clean bedding and laid it out, changed her into clean underwear, and took a closer look at the flaws, and then ran to the yard,
"Wow wow" cried: "My mother, why did you go like this, who can I be good to in the future-"
The soul of the old Jiao family should not be far away, it is estimated that if it is not held by the ghost, she must be so angry that she will run back to confront Jiao's, she has been lying on the kang for half a year, and she is with feces and urine every day, dirtier than a pig, this Jiao's even came to such a set, pretending to be virtuous.
However, Jiao's actions had no effect, and he cried for a long time, and only one person came.
Qian Chuanchuan is still unclear about the past six months, what kind of life has Lao Jiao's lived? She never condemned Jiao's, just because one of them was a daughter-in-law and the other was a daughter, and neither of them could escape the responsibility of serving.
But neither of them was willing to pay, so they tacitly agreed that no one would say anyone. Taking advantage of Jiao's crying, Qian Chuanchuan quietly slipped into the house and rummaged through his adoptive mother's box, and there were only a few old clothes in it, not to mention silver, not even a good one. How is this possible? The adoptive mother's temperament is impossible to hollow out all around herself. Qian Chuanchuan was not angry in his heart, and his brain was burned a little confused, and he rushed out of the room, and there was a roar: "Jiao Ailian, you are a thief, you have stolen all your mother's things-"
