Dong Rong said slowly: "Mother, I can't marry Widow Dong." ”

Dong's mother was stunned: "Rong'er, what are you talking about?" ”

Dong Yingying's eyes widened: "Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" When does my mother want you to marry Widow Dong? ”

"My luggage and books are all packed." Dong Rong pursed his lips, "I won't marry Widow Dong." ”

Dong saw two cages at his feet, and when he opened them, he saw that they were full of clothes and books, which didn't look like a fake.

She had to say dryly: "But I have received all the bride price money......

Dong Rong's eyebrows cast a shadow: "My mother is so calculating, I received ten taels of dowry money from Gu Niangzi before, and now I asked Gu Niangzi for eighty taels, and I promised Widow Dong another ten taels of children, my mother's abacus is really loud......"

"What are you talking about?!" Dong Yingying exploded all of a sudden, "Mother, are you crazy?" Give the eldest brother to Widow Dong? Don't you know how her husband was tortured to death by her? ”

"Widow Dong gave ten taels of silver......"

"Is the life of the eldest brother only worth ten taels?"

Dong Rong looked at the two of them, and said word by word: "Although Gu Niangzi wrote the letter of separation, she did not go to the yamen to register for the record, so this letter of separation does not count, if the mother insists on marrying her son to Widow Dong, she will wait to go to prison." ”

He bent down and lifted the two cages on the ground and walked into the back room.

Dong and Dong Yingying looked at each other, they didn't know that there was such a thing at all.

Before the two of them could think clearly, Dong Rong walked out of the house: "Over the years, I have spent a lot of money on studying, and my family has worked hard, and now my mother has also taken eighty taels of silver from Gu Niangzi, which can be regarded as paying off the silver I have studied over the years, from now on, my mother will not have to worry about me anymore!" ”

Dong Rong took out a money bag from his sleeve, "This is the two taels of silver I earned by copying books in my spare time and gave it to my father and mother, I am married to a husband, and I will have nothing to do with the Dong family from now on." ”

Holding two boxes and holding torches, he walked out of the Dong family's courtyard in silence, and Dong Rong walked all the way towards Gujia Village.

He is very familiar with the road, he only walked half a month ago, and soon arrived on the road in Gujia Village.

Half a month ago, he left the Gu family overnight, and half a month later, he left the Dong family overnight.

When I arrived at Gujia Village, it was already dark, and some people in the village got up early and had already begun to prepare breakfast, and sporadic cooking smoke floated into the sky.

Dong Rong walked all the way to the door of Gu Qing's house, and Mo Li walked out of the yard with a bucket.

He looked at Dong Rong and sneered: "Your mother just took away eighty taels, and you come again, are you using the head of the family as a cash cow?" If you have something to do, you can shake it? Hurry up and get out of our Gujia Village. ”

"I'm not here to ask for money."

Dong Rong said quietly, and he took out a money bag from his sleeve.

He pursed his lips and said, "Here is half a tael of silver, I will return it to the master of the family first, and I will pay back the rest of the money slowly later." ”

Mo Li saw the bag of copper plates, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, Dong Rong was resolute last time, and yesterday Dong's mother was arrogant in asking for money, and now he is back again, it won't be a bad idea, right?

He didn't dare to make his own decisions, so Gu Qing called out when he entered the house.

Gu Qing was still sleeping sweetly in her dreams, this body was too weak, and she always felt tired.

"Head of the family, Dong Rong is here." Mo Li walked in, gently shook Gu Qing awake, and lowered his voice, "He said he came to repay the money, and brought half a tael of silver here." ”

Gu Qing rubbed his eyes, sleepy-eyed, and said, "Help me up, I'll go out and have a look." ”

put on his coat and walked outside, and sure enough, he saw Dong Rong, he was still wearing the same shirt that he left home half a month ago, a washed white robe, a slender figure, weak but not thin, and there was a righteousness between his eyebrows.

She walked over, stood behind the courtyard gate, and said lightly: "Dong Rong, your mother said that I ruined your future, and I also paid eighty taels of silver to your mother, and now we have two clear." ”

Dong Rong couldn't recognize Gu Qing at first glance, and it was only a long time before the head of the family looked much better: "I will slowly return the silver that the head of the house gave me to my mother, this is half a tael of silver, and I ask the head of the house to accept it." ”

He handed the money bag over.

Gu Qing took it and checked it, it was heavy, and there were indeed a lot of copper plates.

Doubts flashed in her heart, his mother came to ask for money, and he came to pay back the money, what kind of new routine is this?

It seems that she has to ask someone to inquire.

"The silver is your compensation, you don't have to pay me back." She returned the money bag to Dong Rong and said, "Now that you can't study, what are your plans for the future?" ”

He beat her before, and yesterday his mother came to the door to ask for money, Dong Rong only thought that the head of the family was angry that he didn't let him study, "I plan to copy books for people, a book for a hundred yuan, I will copy more, and then pay back the money to the head of the family." ”

Gu Qing shook his head: "I said, you don't have to pay me back!" Yesterday, I heard your mother say that she found another family for you, and the other party is a widow? ”

Dong Rong breathed: "The head of the family only gave the letter of separation, and did not go to the yamen for the record, you and I are still husband and wife, how can one husband marry two women." ”

"Do you have to go to the yamen for the record?" Gu Qing looked at Yang Pei: "What he said is true?" ”

Yang Pei smiled helplessly: "Really, so let him in!" ”

Gu Qing was stunned: "In other words, he can still participate in the imperial examination?" ”

"Hmmm! That's right! Yang Pei helped his forehead, he never saw the head of the family go to the yamen for the record, and thought that the head of the family was going to take care of the two of them, and he made trouble for a long time, and he didn't know this process at all for two days.

Dong Rong was also stunned, he thought the same as Yang Pei, but the truth made him even more uncomfortable, so the head of the family really didn't want him......

For a while, Dong Rong was a little difficult to accept.

Gu Qing, who came back to his senses, snatched Dong Rong's money bag back as soon as possible, hid behind Yang Pei and exposed half of his head and said, "Don't you want to beat me again, your mother has blackmailed me for eighty taels, you have to work for me and pay back!" ”

Yang Pei looked at Gu Qing with a smile and pushed her into the yard: "The head of the house is going to wash up, and the little brother who will receive the goods will come in a while." ”

"Come in!" Yang Pei reached out to help him with his luggage.

Dong Rong was stunned: "What does the head of the family mean, let me stay?" ”

Yang Pei hooked his lips: "What, don't you want to stay?" ”

Dong Rong shook his head again and again.

Gu Qing went back to the house and bought a toothbrush towel for Dong Rong in the virtual mall, and asked Zhu Han to bring it to him.

Dong Rong is going to take the Xiucai exam, several people in the family also want to study, and she also bought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but there are too many things in the past two days and there is really no time for them to study, and now that Dong Rong is here, there are many people who work fast, and they can study together at night.

Zhu Han taught Dong Rong to brush his teeth, went into the kitchen and brought the boiled millet porridge and meat pancakes to the yard and called everyone to eat.

Gu Qing drank a bowl of porridge, sat at the gate of the courtyard with a cake, stared at the direction where the little brother in the mall came, and nibbled on the cake from time to time.

Dong Rong had never eaten such a sumptuous breakfast, and saw that several people in the family had silver hairpins on their heads, and remembered that the head of the family had made a fortune that his mother had said, and he was quite shocked.

Zhu Han pushed him, "Don't be in a daze, since you're back, eat quickly, eat well!" ”

Under Dong Rong's doubts, several people quickly finished eating and cleaning up, and then they heard the familiar sound of horses' hooves outside the door.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Yang Pei and the others went to the hall to carry out the basket of mushrooms they had purchased last night, and Dong Rong found that the hall was full of mushrooms.
