Chapter 67: Whose Fault?
When Jiang Weng heard Qin Fen say that there was a way to help them get out of their predicament, he couldn't help but lean forward, staring at Qin Fen with anticipation on his face, and his cloudy eyes also burst into light.
Qin Fen owed a debt, hesitated for a while, seemed to be still a little embarrassed, and said intermittently: "Your daughter-in-law is young, how can she be widowed all the time." The head of my family has met Dou several times and praised her for being virtuous and gentle. I'll go to find out the mind of the head of my family, if the Dou family can marry into the Qin family, she will have a good result, and your ancestors and grandchildren will have someone to help. ”
Jiang Weng immediately shook his head again and again, and said, "My daughter-in-law is from a good family, how can she marry and be a concubine." No, no. ”
Qin Fen sighed in his mouth, blaming Jiang Weng for not being like this, so he hurriedly refused. He leaned into Jiang Weng's ear and said patiently, "You listen to me again." There is only one eldest lady by my family's husband's side. The eldest mother is sick all day long, and she doesn't care about the family, and the Dou family is married, just like the eldest mother, she is also a lady. With the owner of Qin Zhuang as his son-in-law, why do you have to worry about food and clothing. ”
Qin Fen felt that the persuasion was not enough, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly slapped his thigh, and said, "The Qin family only has a daughter Ruoyun now. Dou is young, and when he gives birth to a boy in the future, it will be a matter of time before he is helped. There is no one in the Dou family, you are her family, and the entire Qin family manor is not your home. ”
Jiang Weng was a little moved when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "I'll go back and ask my daughter-in-law this time, if she is unwilling, we will not force her." ”
Qin Fen said: "Of course, you have to be willing." Besides, my head of the family praised your daughter-in-law, whether he is really willing to marry, I don't know yet. I'm going to ask, too. So he ordered his servant to fetch two pieces of corn and three hundred pieces of money, and borrowed him a green donkey to carry it back. Jiang Weng was very grateful.
Qin Fen looked at his figure gradually moving away, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Jiang Weng returned home, his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very happy to see that they had borrowed money and food, and Dou went to cook.
Jiang Weng quietly pulled Jiang Yuan over and said Qin Fen's words. Jiang Yuan thought for a long time and cried silently.
Jiang Weng sighed and said, "My daughter-in-law can't be kept." ”
Jiang Yuan wiped away her tears and said, "I am a sad son and grandson. He cried for a while and said, "Now it's all about this, I'll talk to my daughter-in-law later." ”
The three of them ate a good meal silently, and Dou Shi packed up the dishes and went to Jima again. Jiang Yuan called her over, and Jiang Weng said Qin Fen's words. Dou cried: "What a good family, how did you fall into such a situation." ”
Jiang Yuan thought she was complaining about her son, and argued: "Chuan'er is also thinking about her family." ”
Dou cried: "I am also from a good family, I am not too poor, and I have a son at home." How can you ask me to be a concubine? ”
Jiang Yuan couldn't bear it in her heart, and wiped her tears.
Jiang Weng said: "Chuan'er is dead, and there is no pillar in the family. You also saw that without the help of the Qin family, life would not be possible. If you marry into the Qin family, we and our grandchildren still have a way to live, otherwise the family of four will die of cold and starvation sooner or later. We are old, and we don't have any thoughts, but our grandson is pitiful. "Let's talk about old tears.
Dou Shi hugged his son and whimpered: "I can't rest assured that you two elders and Da Lang can't do it." ”
Jiang Yuan also cried: "Chuan'er is dead, we are also old, and the only thought is to raise our grandson." Dou Shi was even more sad when he heard this, and he couldn't stop crying while holding his son.
Jiang Weng said: "Master Qin Zhuang is benevolent, and you also know it. If you get married, you have a good place to go, and our two old people and grandchildren also have a good place to rely on. Dou didn't speak, just cried.
Jiang Weng estimated that the Dou clan had agreed, and he was looking forward to Qin Fen coming over to speak.
After a few days, the sky was clear, and Qin Fen came over to ask. Jiang Weng said: "The Qin family has to propose marriage to the matchmaker, and the Ming media is marrying, so the etiquette should not be less." ”
Qin Fen heard that the Jiang family was relieved, and ran back to tell Qin Jian as if he was flying.
Qin Jian was overjoyed, as long as he married the Dou family, he could promise all conditions, and he hurriedly said: "This is natural." She married into my family, that is, her wife, and her living and eating were the same as those of the eldest lady. ”
The next day, Qin Fen and the matchmaker came to the door to propose marriage, and a few days later sent a rich dowry to discuss the auspicious day for marriage.
On an auspicious day, Qin Jian's groom dressed up and took the Dou family back to the Qin family manor with a mighty welcoming procession.
The courtyard of the Qin family was full of lights and guests, and Qin Jian and Dou were cheering and saluting in the crowd. There are handmaidens who bring water and silk towels, and the groom Qin Jian soaks the silk towel in water to wipe his face and hands, and cleanses the silk towel for the bride Dou's hands and face, which is a Wo Yu ceremony, which means that a couple of newlyweds start a new life with a pure heart.
Everyone cheered loudly, Qin Jian was so excited that his legs were weak and he almost fell, so Qin Fen grabbed a step forward to support him. He straightened his clothes and smiled and beckoned the guests to their seats.
Qin's eldest lady Tan stayed upstairs, watching Qin Jian and Dou's wedding etiquette of "eating together and drinking together" with a blank face.
Nian Fang Zongjiao Ruoyun was attracted by the luxurious and noisy wedding ceremony, and shouted to go downstairs, but was scolded by the Tan family, and wanted to cry aggrieved. Tan held her in his arms, recalling his father's favor back then, and his love with her husband in the past, and couldn't help but cry silently.
That night, Dou looked at the bright moon outside the window, still at a loss in his heart. Qin Jian took the wine and food, brought it upstairs by himself, and sent it to the front of the case, but Dou ignored it.
Qin Jian said: "It's late at night, Madame should rest." ”
Dou was bitter in his heart, but he was also helpless, so he lay down with his clothes. When Qin Jian saw her sleeping, she was about to make love. Dou was reluctant, twisted his body and slept inside. Qin Jian didn't care whether she wanted to or not, she just lifted her Zen clothes.
Dou couldn't avoid him, sighed, and softened his body. Qin Jian was overjoyed, and the general came over to kiss him, and praised: "What a beautiful girl." "Love in my heart is extremely flattering. In such a situation, Dou also let him go crazy.
On the second day, Qin Jian ordered the whole family to call Dou "little lady", and Dou finally accepted his fate.
A year later, Dou gave birth to a child. Another year later, the eldest lady Tan died of illness, Qin Jian helped Dou to be the main room, and Qin Mansion called his wife up and down.
After the Dou family married into the Qin family, he went back to the Jiang family to visit Weng Yuan and Da Lang, and later gave birth to a child and had no time to move around, thinking that Qin Jian would also take care of him. Unexpectedly, a year later, I heard that Jiang Weng and Jiang Yuan had both passed away, and Da Lang did not know what to do. Dou was sad and angry, so he went to question Qin Jian. Qin Jian said that Jiang Weng and Jiang Yuan were not in good health, and after their son died, they were sad all day long, so they couldn't afford to get sick, and they died one after another, and Da Lang was helpless and adopted by the Jiang family.
Dou cried: "Why didn't you tell me earlier." ”
Qin Jian defended: "At that time, you were pregnant, and the doctor said that you should take care of it quietly, so you didn't tell it. Jiang Jiaweng was sick, and I also invited a doctor to treat him, but the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, and he was powerless to return to the sky. The Jiang family who adopted Da Lang, I also gave a lot of money and food. Dou sobbed and sobbed, and there was no smile.
Outside the window, an autumn wind swept by, stirring the leaves and rattling. The scene of that year seemed to be right in front of him, and Dou raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes. At this time, I heard the crying of the child, and the maid came over and said, "Madam, the little boy is clamoring to sleep with you."
Dou Shi hugged Xiao'er and silently said in his heart: "Qin Jian, are you my benefactor or an enemy." ”
The moonlight shone obliquely into the bedroom, imprinting her long figure on the seat.
