Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and before the day of the release of the list, the news of Chen Yuan's white roll spread. Soon it reached the ears of the Dong family, Dong Hai was very conflicted, but the Zhao family couldn't sit still.

Wang Xiancheng, as the head of a county, has quite a lot of power in addition to the order of Weichi County. He also set his sights on the Dong family, the Dong family has some wealth in Jiangning, if he wants to be promoted, he has to do something, if there is help from the Dong family, it will be like a tiger. So he dotted cloth, silk, grain, and livestock, and asked the matchmaker to ask his son Wang Xian to marry Miss Dong Jia.

Wang Xian's mind is now full of Jian Yixuan's figure, naturally unwilling, his mother said: "You marry her, when your father is promoted, you have gained fame, who you want to marry in the future, it's not up to you." Wang Xian happily agreed.

Dong Hai, the head of the Dong family, had not yet reacted, the Zhao family had already accepted the gift, and he said to Dong Hai: "You always talk about love and righteousness, love and righteousness are worth a few dollars, and when something happens, who stands up to help us, there is no power, what is the use of our money." ”

Dong Hai muttered: "Isn't that Chen Yuan's child helping?" ”

Zhao reprimanded angrily: "One yard is one yard, can help and Yan'er's happiness be confused?" You go and inquire around, he handed over the white papers, even a five-year-old child refuses to do it, so it is not successful, what is the hope, his original marriage contract, only a chicken ten dollars, I will pay him back tenfold. ”

After being accused by the Zhao family, Dong Hai was silent. Zhao said: "Wang Xian, everyone said that he had won Xiucai in this exam, his father was in the county seat, and he would be an official in the future, so he was not worthy of Yan'er." Today, I will go to Huajia Alley and withdraw from the marriage, he has spoken before, and he can't repay the debt. After she finished speaking, she asked someone to prepare twenty pieces of money, and went out in a hurry.

These are all in Dong Ming's eyes, he has been recuperating for almost two months, he can run and jump, although he doesn't learn and can't do anything, but it is relatively simple, otherwise Li Bin would not have been able to take him around Qinhuai River before and bought him. Chen Yuan had a life-saving grace for him, and he felt that it was wrong for his mother to do this, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he hurriedly ran to his sister's yard and shouted: "Sister, it's not good." ”

Dong Mingyan was holding her cheeks in her hand at the moment, thinking about how her family would treat Chen Yuan after the autumn siege. According to her thoughts, he saved her brother, and their marriage was no problem.

Chen Yuan's every line in the poetry club is still in her mind.

I wonder if he's thinking about himself, she thought.

The plum trees in the yard grow luxuriantly, and autumn is the season of harvest, which makes people infinitely reverie.

Hearing her brother's call, Dong Mingyan came back to her senses.

"Oh, my sister, why are you still here?"

"What's wrong?" Dong Mingyan looked dazed.

Dong Ming said anxiously: "This morning, the Wang family came to propose marriage, and my mother didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she actually agreed, and now she goes to Chen Yuan to withdraw from the marriage." ”

"What?" Dong Mingyan's face turned white in an instant, she was dizzy, her head roared, and her body couldn't stop shaking.

"My sister, are you going?"

"Where to go?" Dong Mingyan said.

"Don't think I don't know, you've been in a daze every day lately, sometimes you're in a daze at the sky, sometimes you go out secretly, just to see Chen Yuan, right. I think Chen Yuan is good, what's wrong with reading and handing in blank papers, Jinyiwei is his friend, can he not be majestic? If you don't stop your mother, this brother-in-law will immediately become Wang Xian. ”

Dong Mingyan suddenly remembered Wang Xian's obsession with Jian Yixuan that day, and thought of her sister slandering Chen Yuan in front of her many times, disgusted in her heart, and didn't know where she got the courage, so she rushed out with a group pendulum, and Dong Mingquan trotted all the way behind.

Huajia Lane, Chen Yuan silently cleaned up things, his sweet potatoes had been transplanted to the land of Jiangning's own inlet, and Fan Niangzi knew about the blank paper for the exam, and scolded Chen Yuan for a long time, so she almost took it to kneel in front of the ancestors.

But her son is not the material for reading, what can be done, just farm the land, she also accepted her fate, since she decided to go back to farming, the rent in the county town must be refunded, and the shabby books left over from a few years of studying, as well as a few pieces of clothing and bedding, must also be cleaned up.

The old lady was beside her with a black face, Chen Yuan felt uncomfortable, he had been in this world for so long, he could feel Fan Niangzi's care, and he regarded it as a family, but he was not the material for the imperial examination, so he could only work hard in the future to compensate her.

He was cleaning in the house, and suddenly heard a quarrel outside, so he hurriedly came out to see, it turned out that the Zhao family had arrived, and he was fighting with Fan Niangzi.

"At the beginning, your son also said that if he didn't win the autumn siege, he would withdraw from the marriage. When your son farms, do you want to take my swallows to eat the soil? ”

Fan Niangzi was already angry, and Zhao's words ignited her fire: "What kind of person, the old lady is not rare, your daughter has a small butt and a weak body, I don't know if she can give birth to a baby, my Chen Yuan is a single pass, but I can't stand such a big lady." ”

"You? Hmph, I think it's your son who can't marry a daughter-in-law, and wants to harm my daughter, you don't inquire, my Yan'er is famous in all four miles and eight towns, and today there is a Wang family who comes to propose marriage, ouch, Fan Niangzi, give a happy word, the marriage is not refunded. ”

"Okay, it turned out that I received the benefits of others, and I came to withdraw from the marriage, ho, and the marriage contract, I will accept people's money, my Chen family can't climb such an ungrateful person, hmph, I received ten hangings of money from a big rooster in my family, how to calculate it."

Zhao knew that he was speechless, and his tone was weaker: "I will pay you back twenty hangings." ”

"I want to get out of the marriage when I am twenty hanged, but there is no door."

"Thirty hangs."

"Deal, bring the money, and I'll ask my family Chen Yuan to write a note."

Chen Yuan is angry and funny, and has a headache, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, the two elders are there and no one obeys anyone, it is difficult for him as a junior, he is very disgusted with Zhao's approach, but Dong Mingyan is innocent, he has come to see him recently, and every time he brings food and books, he has a heart, so he can't refuse.

He thought, it's better to drag things down, take one step at a time, and without thinking, the Zhao family came to the door.

Fan Niangzi counted the money three times and shouted: "Little fool, do you still have a little backbone, and you can't write a note." ”

"Can't write." A crisp voice came from outside the door, and I saw Dong Mingyan and Dong Mingjing running in.

Zhao said angrily: "What are you doing here, I want to turn against you." ”

Dong Mingquan was afraid of his mother, so he craned his neck and looked at the sky.

If it was ordinary, Dong Mingyan didn't dare to say a word to her mother, but today she was extremely firm, under the pressure of her mother, she stepped forward step by step, and said to Fan Niangzi, word by word: "Auntie, I haven't arrived at your house yet, and I haven't made any mistakes, why do you want to withdraw from the marriage." ”

Fan Niangzi sneered and said: "You have to figure it out, that is your mother's idea, she accepted the dowry of the Wang family, and my Chen family can't afford to lose this person." ”

Dong Mingyan said: "That's what my mother meant, I am an innocent person, I don't marry a second family, since I have a marriage contract with Chen Gongzi, as long as Chen Gongzi doesn't abandon me, I am a member of the Chen family in life, and I am a ghost of the Chen family in death." ”

Zhao's face was red and blue, green and white, their noise, there were already many people who came to watch, she quit the marriage, people said two words of injustice at most, so what did it matter, but her daughter died and begged for nothing, she could hardly breathe.

"Hate the poor and love the rich, and betray your promise."

"Yes, my daughter still has a marriage contract, so she agreed to someone else's dowry, the Dong family is really forgetful, and you still don't have any dealings with his family in the future."

"Fortunately, her daughter is sensible."

"It's a pity, Chen Yuan treats people well, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and he has helped me move things many times, he is a good boy, but it's a pity, he just doesn't study hard."

"How many people can test their fame? Chen Yuan, this child has studied and is literate, his family has a few acres of land, the Dong family's merchant family's house, and the Chen family is also worthy of the Dong family. ”

The people watching the excitement discussed in low voices. Most of them sympathized with Chen Yuan and crusaded against the Dong family.

Seeing that Miss Dong had a firm gaze and her own demeanor, Fan Niangzi couldn't help but soften, Miss Dong was not her own son and did not marry, and she could be regarded as having enough face, and she couldn't bear to say no to Miss Dong.

"Brother-in-law, this marriage is all my mother's idea, and we and my father have not agreed." Dong Mingquan popped out of his little head and said.

Zhao Shi glared back, and Dong Mingquan shrank into the crowd again.

Chen Yuan was also in a heavy mood, he didn't know how to clean up this mess, and for the first time, he felt that he couldn't use his intelligence here. Just when he was at a loss, a sharp voice came from outside the house: "Where is Jiangning Chen Yuan?" ”

Chen Yuan looked over and saw several people who looked like eunuchs coming in, they were looking for him, and they were surprised.

"Where is Jiang Ning Chen Yuan?" One of the eunuchs asked again.

"I just, I don't know what my father-in-law commands."

The eunuch glanced at Chen Yuan and said, "The Holy Lord's oracle." ”

Chen Yuan stood blankly.

The eunuch didn't say anything for a long time, and a little eunuch said kindly: "Chen Xianggong, receiving the holy decree, like a holy decree, is to kneel to welcome." ”

Chen Yuan was busy kneeling, he didn't want to kneel, but he followed the customs, unless he didn't want to live.

Fan Niangzi was also busy kneeling, she was also confused, but she could understand the two words of the saint, it was the emperor today, she was excited, and she knelt down with her son.

The eunuch cleared his throat and said: "The Holy Lord's edict, Jiangning Chen Yuan, and Shujun in sex, ordered the deputy envoy of Shaanxi to enter the Shaanxi office, and he is here." ”

Everyone is petrified, they are in Nanjing, and they have seen others preach holy decrees, but they have never heard of this, one is not rewarded, and the other is not an official position, so let him go out with a big official to do things, what is this?

But he was envious of Chen Yuan, and with a white body, the saint personally ordered him to do things, and after that, wasn't it soaring?

Zhao's face turned from white to blue and then to purple.

Chen Yuan was also shocked, I want to farm, you let me go out on an errand, or the kind that has no job or power, it is estimated that the most I will be reimbursed for the travel expenses. What does Zhu Di play? No, how did he know about me? Am I famous?
