Chapter 680: The Sorrow of the Concubine
"Liu Er, do you mean it or not?"
In the small courtyard under the starry night, Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang kept asking curiously around Liu Er, no matter how Liu Er refused, the two brothers and sisters still refused to give up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Liu Zitang tugged on Liu Er's sleeve, glared at Liu Er angrily with a pair of beautiful eyes, and threatened: "If you don't say it, I'll blast you out now!"
Liu Er glanced at Liu Zitang angrily, and shook his head vigorously with his mouth closed to show his resolute attitude. Liu Er was really frightened by Liu Tang, just now Liu Tang told him not to say a word, Liu Er really didn't even say half a word after leaving the room. Liu Jitang hurriedly dissuaded: "Sister, I think he is iron-hearted and won't speak, so don't force him to ask him anymore." ā
Liu Zitang snorted angrily and pushed Liu Er, who had an ugly face, turned around and asked Liu Jitang curiously, "Brother, what do you say is the relationship between my father and the person we saved?
Liu Jitang shook his head and smiled: "I can't guess this, maybe it's the money my father owes to others." You also know that Dad has always liked to gamble two hands outside. Liu Zitang disagreed, shook his head and said: "I don't see it, I don't feel like my father looks at that person's eyes like looking at the creditor, and someone has come to the house to collect debts before, but my father has never been so serious." ā
"Then I don't know, I just know that it's a rich lord, this time we can save a cash cow, haha......" Liu Jitang couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart when he thought of the ten boxes of jewelry that Lu Yifan promised him.
"You only have money in your eyes, and we didn't save him for money in the first place. Liu Zitang snorted dissatisfiedly.
Seeing his sister's righteous appearance, Liu Jitang's eyes suddenly became strange when he looked at her, and then a meaningful smile quietly appeared on Liu Jitang's face, stirring his eyebrows and quipping softly: "Yes, yes, my sister didn't save him for money, but I didn't expect this sloppy sick man to become such a handsome little brother after washing." Sister, you and my brother are honest, do you have a crush on the person inside?"
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Zitang heard Liu Jitang's words, and two blushes suddenly flew on his cheeks, and a trace of shyness flashed in his beautiful eyes, "How is it possible?"
"How is it impossible?" Liu Jitang knew his sister's temperament, and as soon as he saw Liu Zitang's reaction, he had already expected ten * in his heart, so he opened his mouth and smiled, "I didn't expect that kid to be so young and handsome, and the most important thing is that eighty percent of the family is still very rich." Whether it's age, appearance, or wealth, it's barely worthy of my sister, and you saved his life, even if he makes a promise to you, it's right......"
"Brother, you ...... You can't talk nonsense......" Liu Zitang's face was already red to the root of her ears, she stood there a little embarrassed and annoyed, her slender fingers tightly grasped the edge of her skirt, and hurriedly said, "I don't know that person, brother, don't make fun of me again, otherwise I will ignore you......"
"Sister, if you like it, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, your temperament has always been daring to think and dare to do, why did you become twisted again today?" Liu Jitang looked at Liu Zitang with a surprised face, and asked pretending to be puzzled, "Could it be that you really fell in love with that kid?" I was just joking with you just now, my sister should be angry, since you hate him, then I will bomb him tomorrow, and I don't want the ten boxes of jewelry......"
"Don't drive him away, who said I hate him......" Liu Zitang was shocked when he heard that he was going to drive Lu Yifan away, and then couldn't help blurting out the words that shouldn't be said, Liu Zitang regretted it as soon as the words came out, because she had realized from Liu Jitang's playful eyes that she had just fallen for him, and Liu Jitang had taken out the words of his daughter's heart, and he couldn't go or stand at the moment, he just couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into, and hurriedly covered it up, "He has just woken up, and his body has not healed yet...... And brother, don't you want him to repay us for saving our lives? How can you say don't want it......" Liu Zitang explained while secretly reproaching himself in his heart: What am I talking about?
"Haha......" Liu Jitang laughed loudly, "I'm your eldest brother, what can't you say to me?
"No...... No!" Without waiting for Liu Zitang to object, Liu Er, who had not opened his mouth all afternoon, suddenly couldn't help but shout, "Absolutely not, my cousin must not have anything to do with the person inside, absolutely not!"
As soon as Liu Er's words came out, Liu Zitang's originally embarrassed expression couldn't help but feel a hint of loss, although she didn't care about Liu Er's opinion, but when she suddenly heard Liu Er's resolute opposition, she was more or less affected in her heart. Liu Jitang asked curiously, "Why not?"
"Because ......" Liu Er wanted to pour out Lu Yifan's true identity, but when he thought of Liu Tang's advice just now, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and under the gaze of the Liu family brothers and sisters, Liu Er hurriedly changed his words, "Because my cousin has been promised to be married, don't forget that someone will come to pick up my cousin tomorrow." This matter has been agreed to by Uncle Tang, and no one can change it. ā
"Whether to marry or not is something you and I want, how can you force it?" Liu Jitang said angrily, "Don't say that my sister hasn't seen that person yet, even if my sister has seen it and is willing, I, as an elder brother, will never let my sister be someone else's concubine." Hmph! If they dare to use force, won't it become a marriage robbery? Is there no royal law in the world?"
"I also tell you that in this territory of Northern Xinjiang, the lord who will come tomorrow is Wang Fa. Liu Er snorted coldly, "Even if it's really a bright robbery, no one dares to say a word in front of him." What's more, this is not a marriage robbery, but the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, which Uncle Tang personally agreed. ā
"The promised thing can also be pushed, in short, my sister will not marry someone else as a concubine, if that person dares to rob the marriage, then I, Liu Jitang, will not give in even if I give up my life. Liu Jitang said angrily, and his words moved Liu Zitang after hearing it.
Liu Er looked at Liu Jitang with a mocking face, and sneered: "Do you know who the other party is? ā
"Who did my father promise me to?" Liu Zitang asked with a complicated face, his tone was mixed with a touch of anger, obviously Liu Tang's heart was very angry that Liu Tang made decisions about his life's affairs.
Liu Er snorted coldly and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid to scare you if I say it, the master who will come to marry you tomorrow is the current governor of the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, Lord Chang Xuchang." ā
Chang Xu is the person who succeeded Su Shiyuan as the governor of the Northern Xinjiang Frontier Guard. This person is an old man who is in his old age, and he has been mediocre and merit in the officialdom of the Holy Land for many years. This person's ability is mediocre, but the leader Yan Chong remembered that he had an unswerving loyalty, so he entrusted him with a heavy task in his ancient years and ordered him to sit in northern Xinjiang, and there was a young general who came to northern Xinjiang with Chang Xu. Emperor Yan Chong is now very fond of reusing young newcomers, because young people are easier to control than old and cunning people. This young new general is a rising star recommended by Han Cheng, and he is not too famous in the Holy Domain, so he can be regarded as a pure newcomer. And the most satisfying thing for the emperor is that before the new general and Chang Xu came to northern Xinjiang, the two of them had never even seen each other, so the emperor sent them to sit in northern Xinjiang, one old and one young, which can check and balance each other and support each other.
In order to flatter the new Shangguan, Liu Tang thought that his daughter who had not yet gone out of the ordinary was just at the age of marriage, so he wanted to use this as an opportunity to win over the relationship and keep his hard-won position in northern Xinjiang. In fact, Liu Tang wanted to marry Liu Zitang to the young general as his wife, and the two are extremely compatible in terms of age and qualifications. It's a pity that the young general is bent on making meritorious contributions and has no interest in Liu Tang's proposal, Liu Tang only said that the young general is afraid that he can't look down on himself as a girl from the poor mountains, so he has to give up. And at this time, Chang Xu heard the news that Liu Tang has a beautiful daughter from somewhere, although Chang Xu is mediocre and cowardly, but he has an extremely indecent hobby, that is, he likes beauty, since he was young, he has accepted more than 30 concubines in his life, and there are more than 30 houses with names and surnames, not counting the 'wild flowers' in the house that he did not have.
After learning the news, Chang Xu called Liu Tang to ask about it, Liu Tang was reluctant to let his daughter be a concubine for such a bad old man, but he didn't dare to hide Chang Xu, so he had to reply truthfully. Chang Xu saw this very proud, so he implied that Liu Tang himself had the intention of being a family with him, although Liu Tang was reluctant in his heart, but in order to protect his hard-won position, he simply gritted his teeth and agreed to this matter without doing anything, Chang Xu did not treat Liu Tang badly, and still named him the head of the banner owners of the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, and also gave him three carts of gold, silver and jewelry as a dowry, all of which are now placed in Liu Tang's mansion in Dingbei Town. Chang Xu has always been anxious about taking concubines, so when Liu Tang agreed to this matter, he hurriedly sent Liu Tang back to prepare, and then personally led people to prepare to go to Shijia Village to marry Liu Zitang.
There were no decent ceremonies and etiquette from beginning to end, compared to marrying, it was more like Liu Tang was selling his daughter, and after taking someone's dowry, he came back and prepared to give his daughter back to others.
"Chang Xu?" Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang were shocked when they heard this. Liu Zitang exclaimed: "Didn't I hear that Chang Xu is over seventy years old?"
"So what?" Liu Er said with a smile, "Don't underestimate Master Chang, people are old and strong." ā
"Let go of your mother's bullshit!" Liu Jitang finally couldn't help but scold, "Chang Xu is a bad old man, why did he marry my sister......?" He's too old to be our grandfather, and my sister is now Erjiu Fanghua, wouldn't it be pushing my sister into the fire pit if I let my sister marry him?"
"How do you scold people?" Liu Er shouted angrily, "What old man is before and after the old man, beware of letting others hear and cut off your tongue." ā
"Isn't Dad confused? How can he let his sister marry an old man?" Liu Jitang said and wanted to turn around and walk towards the room, looking at the posture, he had to call Liu Tang out to ask what was going on.
"Brother. Liu Zitang grabbed Liu Jitang in time and cried, "Don't ask, he has always been such a selfish person, he must have given me as a gift to that old man." The more Liu Zitang spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and in the end, he couldn't help hiding his face and crying bitterly.
"I said, why are you so confused?" Liu Er raised his eyebrows and persuaded, "My cousin is fragrant and spicy when she marries, not to mention my cousin, even my cousin will follow suit." In the future, you don't have to live in this kind of broken yard anymore, you can move to Dingbei Town, and Lord Chang will definitely reward you with a big house, which is a great opportunity for you to turn over and live a good life. Cousin, haven't you always wanted to make a lot of money? Isn't this the opportunity coming? You have become the brother-in-law of the governor of Northern Xinjiang, and in the future, you will not do whatever you want in Northern Xinjiang? Can you make as much money as you want? You think about it......
"Bah!" Liu Jitang looked at Liu Er's disgusting face and couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and slammed his fist straight on Liu Er's face, with a miserable scream, Liu Er's nose bone was smashed by Liu Jitang's punch, and blood flowed down Liu Er's mouth and nose as if he didn't want money. Liu Jitang was still angry, and stepped forward with a powerful kick that directly kicked Liu Er to the ground, and one kick after another fell on Liu Er's body like a storm, Liu Jitang kicked and scolded, "What kind of dog are you? I, Liu Jitang, am poor and starving to death, and I won't do that kind of despicable and shameless bastard like you said, Zitang is my own sister, if anyone dares to bully her, I just give up this life and don't want to finish with him! How can we have relatives like you, see if I don't kill you today......
"Brother, stop fighting!" Liu Zitang saw Liu Er lying on the ground wailing, hurriedly stepped forward to grab Liu Jitang, and hurriedly persuaded, "Liu Er is such an open-mouthed person, brother, don't be like him......"
"Fight, fight, fight, even if you kill me, your sister will have to marry Master Chang tomorrow." Liu Er wailed and shouted angrily, "Whoever dares to provoke Lord Chang in Northern Xinjiang will die ......."
"Let you be here and fake the tiger, I'll kill you today!" Liu Jitang was more and more angry by Liu Er, and his feet became more and more forceful, and Liu Er was kicked by Liu Jitang and covered in blood, constantly curled up and rolled back and forth on the ground, and kept screaming: "Uncle Tang, Uncle Tang, come out quickly, my nephew is about to be killed by them...... Uncle Tang......"
"Squeak!"
Suddenly, the closed door was slammed open, and then I saw Liu Tang, who was angry, striding out of the room, Liu Tang shouted angrily as soon as he appeared: "What are you arguing about?" was roared by him, Liu Jitang hurriedly stopped, Liu Zitang also stood aside without saying a word and whimpered in a low voice, only Liu Er, who was lying on the ground, kept screaming "ouch ouch" non-stop.
"Dad, why did you marry your sister to that bad old man Chang Xu......"
"Bastard!" didn't wait for Liu Jitang to finish speaking, but Liu Tang's eyes widened, and he choked back Liu Jitang's words, "I don't know if I'm in the room and Lu ...... Are you catching up with old friends? What are you arguing about?"
As soon as Liu Tang's words fell, Lu Yifan, who was smiling, slowly walked out of the door and stood beside Liu Tang. He smiled lightly: "You are a family, if you have anything to say, you might as well sit down and discuss it slowly, why bother opening your mouth like a quarrel?"
"You don't know this brother...... Liu Jitang opened his mouth to explain to Lu Yifan, but before his words could be spoken, Liu Tang scolded him back: "Stop talking, what's the big or small mess?" Liu Jitang was scolded at this time, and stood there stunned for a while, looking at Lu Yifan and Liu Tang in a daze, and didn't know how to open his mouth. Liu Tang turned to Lu Yifan and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial family matter, which makes you laugh." Seeing that Liu Tang was so polite to Lu Yifan, Liu Zitang's eyes couldn't help but flash a thick doubt.
"I know everything, just now Lord Liu Qi has told me about it. Lu Yifan smiled and nodded to Liu Jitang and Liu Zitang, and said, "This marriage is indeed a bit ridiculous, I have just persuaded Liu Qizhu, and he also promised me that I will not force Miss Liu to marry Chang Xu again." You can rest assured!"
"Really?" Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang both looked happy at the same time, and looked at Liu Tang expectantly. But seeing Liu Tang reluctantly laughing twice, he nodded reluctantly, and then he turned his head to look at Lu Yifan who was smiling beside him, his eyes were full of embarrassment. I thought to myself: "It's such a mess, but I can't afford to offend anyone on either side." It seems that even if I, Liu Tang, can hide today, I will be in danger tomorrow. As long as Lu Yifan and Chang Xuyi meet tomorrow...... Alas!"
