Early the next morning, Ma Jiu really drove the mule cart to the labor matchmaker's house, pulled her into the car without saying anything, and sent her straight to the second room of the Li Mansion to talk.

When she heard that she was going to divorce the Chen family, the pockmarked face of the labor matchmaker couldn't help shaking, and her eyes blinked even more.

"Gao, Gao Niangzi forgive her sins, the old woman has been a matchmaker countless times in her life, but, but this divorce is ......, this, this, this has really not been done. Why don't you find another matchmaker to talk to? ”

It is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage, and this kind of thing is a taboo for matchmakers!

When the marriage is completed, it is your accumulation of virtue and hard work as a matchmaker, especially the Li and Chen families are both official eunuchs, and they are even more glorious for the matchmaker.

But if you want to get out of the marriage, people will feel bad luck in the future, who will want to take care of your business?

Moreover, it is said that the marriage is a combination of two good things, and to withdraw from the marriage will offend one of the parties.

If the Chen family is pardoned and released in the future, the most unfortunate people are still local squires, and offending one family is equivalent to offending ten households, isn't this a loss-making business!

Therefore, the labor matchmaker is difficult and is not willing to come out of this.

"Sister-in-law of the Lao family, look at it, they are all women, I don't know what you think?" The silk fan in Gao's hand fanned slowly and methodically.

The man who worked as a matchmaker was a tenant of the Gao family in the past, and later his father appreciated him and transferred him to the city shop to be the head of a rice shop manager, so the Gao family called her "sister-in-law".

"You don't want to go, I understand, but ...... You don't want me to run this for you, do you? After Gao finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at her.

"It's ......." Beads of sweat oozed from the corners of the labor matchmaker's forehead, she wiped them with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Then, the eldest lady gave a hint, there must be a reason for the divorce, right?"

Although the man in her family was convicted, but、But this is ...... It can't ....... ”

Gao sighed: "This is not easy to do?" During the national funeral, the students of Tianfu School were messing around, so Chen Shi'an certainly had to take responsibility for the study.

How can such an unethical family marry my Li family? Isn't this a ready-made pretext? ”

"Oh, oh, that...... So I'm going to try it? The labor matchmaker couldn't say it, grinning and not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"Second grandma, it's not good!" A maid suddenly ran in and called.

"What's the matter, it's scary!" Gao shouted: "What kind of system is this kind of panic? ”

"It's Goro," the maid panicked when she found that there were other people in the house, and hurriedly made up for it.

He lowered his voice and said, "Gorou was annoyed when he heard that grandma sent the eldest sister of the Chen family back, and now the door is closed, no one is allowed to enter, and he is in the house with a sword and slashing and smashing the ground." Grandma, go check it out! ”

"This—this is not worrying!" When Gao heard that his son was in the house, he also took a sword, and his soul flew away.

She didn't care about the matchmaker, so she hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran out. A few maids had to chase after them.

Mrs. Lao sneered in her heart, thinking that she didn't dare to leave before she finished speaking, so she simply went over to see the excitement.

From the two-bedroom main house to the small cross-courtyard where Li Shuo lives, it is only a few dozen steps away, and this courtyard is not big and a little narrow.

The small building where Li Shuo lives is at the top, and there are four wings under the west wall, and there is a vine trellises coming in from the vase door, and from here along the east wall to the bottom of the window of his study are all kinds of flowers and plants.

This is Li Shuo's daily hobby. There is only a zhang wide between the flowers and plants and the west chamber, and now there are many maids and family members standing, and they are shouting to give Gao's headache.

Someone shouted: "The second grandmother is here!" The crowd immediately fell silent and bowed their heads to make way for a passage.

"Son, what are you doing here?" Gao stood anxiously on the steps and shouted.

"Mother, didn't I say I didn't agree to the divorce? Why did you still send Hui'er back, and what did Lao Pozi do? Li Shuo said in the house with a crying voice.

"Eh, it's not for your good!" Gao said as he walked inside.

saw Li Shuo appear at the door viciously carrying a short sword, and shouted: "You are doing this, how do you tell me to behave?" I might as well die, lest I be looked down upon!" ”

With that, he threw his sword across his neck.

Gao was so frightened that he "plopped" and sat on the ground, "son" and "my god" cried, and the yard suddenly became a mess.

Some went to help the Gao family, some wanted to rush up and snatch the weapon from Li Shuo's hand, and a few "smart" little guys turned their heads and ran out to find the eldest master and the third master to report the news.

"What's going on here?"

The one who led the way out was suddenly grabbed by the collar, and when he looked back, he found that it was Li Dan, and he hurriedly told him: "San Lang go quickly, the fifth brother put a sword on his neck and wants to kill himself!" ”

"Nonsense!" Li Dan threw away the man and walked in three steps and two steps. He pushed away the obstacles and came to the front, and Li Shuo was about to retreat into the house.

"Fifth brother, what are you doing?"

Hearing Li Dan's voice, Li Shuo fell, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw two young men walking in outside the door.

The one in front was dressed in a Confucian shirt, and the one behind was dressed in a short brown dress, and he was carrying a soft bow in his hand.

"Little Wu, what are you doing with a sword? Put it down! The young man in the Confucian shirt stepped forward with his hands behind his back, and ordered directly without looking at Li Dan.

Li Dan retracted his steps when he heard the voice behind him, and sneered: "Yo, the second brother is here so soon?" Looking back: "Hey, there is a fourth brother?" ”

"Well, I was shooting arrows and saw my family running around, and I said there was an accident here, so I came to take a look." The fourth Li Qin is an honest one, and he still holds an unsent feather arrow in his hand.

He was stocky, the shortest of the brothers, so he stood on tiptoe as he spoke, trying to see what was ahead.

"Oh!" Li Dan turned to Li Jin: "The second brother also came to see the excitement, and those who don't read it are also?" ”

Li Jin rolled his eyes: "The eldest uncle and the third uncle are out, and the eldest brother is not at home, so I should naturally come over to see what happened." ”

"Okay, then please ask the second brother to step forward, and the younger brother will listen to you." Li Dan made a gesture of please.

As soon as he took half a step, Li Jin withdrew it again.

He looked at Li Dan suspiciously, shook his head with his back and said: "The so-called 'gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall', I think this kind of thing is better handled by the third brother." ”

"Alas, two brothers, when are you still standing here politely? It doesn't matter who it is, you should hurry up and talk to Gorou and let him put down the sword first, okay? Gao said angrily patting the hem of his skirt.

Li Shuo, who was looking at his brothers blankly, heard this, and remembered that he was going to "kill himself", so he hurriedly changed the sword to one hand and put it on the other shoulder to carry it.

Li Jin looked around, and suddenly lost interest: "Alas, okay, we don't care about this matter." San Lang, I'll leave it to you here, I'd better go back to study! He turned around and left.

Li Qin hurriedly shouted: "Second brother, wait for me!" ”

"The fourth brother is leaving, please help take all the people in this courtyard away!"

Li Dan grinned, watched Li Qin drive the people out of the courtyard, turned around and bowed: "Mother, please go back first, I will settle the fifth brother here, please rest assured." ”

Gao knew that Li Shuo had always listened to the third brother, and when he saw him coming, he was already half at ease.

After calling the maids to help him walk out slowly, he turned around and stared at Li Shuo with resentment under the vine shelf, and then went out.

Li Dan asked the subordinates of the hospital to go back to the house, then walked up the steps and held the door frame, looked at Li Shuo who retreated to the house and said with a smile: "I said yesterday that they will go their own way, and you know that this will be the result, what is there to make a fuss about?" ”

"It's not a fuss, I want to teach my mother a lesson, so that she can't just treat me as a child in the future!" Li Shuo said angrily.

"Okay, okay." Li Dan nodded, moved to his side unexpectedly, stretched out his hand and waved quickly.

Li Shuo only felt that the third brother had somehow arrived in front of him, and the sword in his hand was gone.

"Remember, if you really want to scare your mother, find a sword with a blade. It's not much use to hang it on the wall! Li Dan finished with a smile and threw the short sword on the coffee table not far away.

Li Shuo was dumbfounded, the weapon he used to scare his mother was confiscated like a toy by Li Dan.

"Third brother, my sword is an antique from the previous dynasty!" He pointed to the coffee table helplessly.

"Bullshit!" Li Dan sneered disdainfully: "This kind of thing looks good, but it is vulnerable on the battlefield." Can this also be called a weapon? It can just be used to scare the mother! ”

Li Shuo heard him devalue his beloved things as worthless, pursed his lips, and stood there without saying a word.

"What are you doing standing?" Li Dan sat on the chair in front of him with a big grin, and asked Li Shuo to find a chair to sit on.

Seeing that he had knocked over a table of cherry fruits, he reached out and grabbed a handful, chose one and threw it into his mouth.

"Sister Hui has been sent back, this is something that can't be helped." He spat out the seed and said, "I told you to go and see her yesterday, see?" What did she say? ”

Li Shuo blushed, hesitated for a long time before saying, "I went to her door last night, but she refused to open the door, and only said a few words through the window."

He tugged at the corner of his clothes in his hand, lowered his head and wiped his eyes: "She said that since ancient times, the fate of her parents has been married, and since her mother decided to withdraw from the marriage, she had no choice but to obey."

also said that the number of fortunes is like this, and there is no fate. Let me live in peace, and don't complain about heaven and others, etc. ”

Li Dan glanced at him and understood that this kid had actually listened to Chen Hui's words, and he was already half cold about this marriage, but today's trouble was nothing more than to show that he was unwilling.

Having said that, if he didn't make such a fuss, he would really have no face to see among the scholars, and the spit of those Confucian scholars would also hurt a lot!

Originally, a teenage child just graduated from elementary school in his previous life, what kind of affection and love does he know? Playing the young master's temper, that's all.

"It's best if you can figure it out, my mother is also thinking about your future, don't make her sad and worried anymore."

Li Dan paused after speaking: "It was this incident that made the Chen family worse. With the reputation of being divorced, it is difficult for Sister Hui to marry a good family, unless she is pardoned or the emperor rehabilitates Uncle Chen. ”

"Huh?" When Li Shuo heard this, he straightened up again: "Then, that brother, let's go to the front together, and ask my mother to take back her life!" ”

"It's late!" Li Dan shook his head: "Sister Hui was sent back, which means that her mother may have talked to her, or Sister Hui herself went to her mother and expressed her willingness to withdraw from the marriage." ”

"How is this possible? How could Sister Hui agree to withdraw from the marriage? ”

"How could it be?" Li Dan asked rhetorically: "You think it's best for Sister Hui to marry you, haven't you thought about how she will choose?"

If it is chosen by me, it is right to take the initiative to agree to withdraw from the marriage at this time, which can not only protect you, but also prevent your future husband's family from being implicated in the slightest.

Silly boy, do you think Sister Hui will only think about escaping to the Li family to escape this unwarranted disaster? Then you underestimate her!

The initial panic and evasion may have been there, but when she calmed down, she should have agreed to go back.

This is what the daughter of the Chen family did, and it is the woman who was raised by the immoral family and the family who is not worthy of our Li family, as her mother said! ”

"The third brother is ...... to say this, isn't that why we are too sorry for the Chen family?" Li Shuo's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head again.

"What do you think?" Li Dan asked coldly.

"I—I'm ......." Li Shuo shimped, not knowing what to do.

"Alas!" Li Dan got up and walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "If Uncle Chen is sentenced to exile as Zhou Dutou said, it is said that the crime will not affect his family."

At most, the Chen family is under residential surveillance in their hometown, reporting to the county government every few days to do some hard labor and so on. Yes, we will take care of the sin, and there will be no place to suffer.

But this time it was a bit of a big fuss, and Zhou Dutou was likely to be exiled with his family. In that case, it depends on where the exile is, and you can't go overseas, and I think the farthest is Yazhou.

We can make a little money to make a little tolerance, so that their families will suffer less on the road.

Also, whether it is to withdraw from the marriage, begging the mother to exchange Sister Hui's dowry for a silver ticket for them to carry with them, so that they can save money and live when they arrive in the place. ”

"Eh, that's a good idea! I'll go back and talk to my mother! Li Shuo clapped his hands and said.

"Also, I thought last night, if the place of exile is not far away, such as Fujian and Yue, we can even send a few brothers to accompany us all the way to protect it."

"There is an arrangement by the third brother Lao!" Li Shuo was overjoyed, and even made a move.

Li Dan waved his hand again and again: "Don't thank me, in fact, you know, I am also ...... for Meng'er." "It's hard to say more about that.

Gao returned to his house, but because he was worried about his son, he didn't continue to talk to Lao Pozi about the divorce.

Quietly sent a maid to the courtyard to listen, and came back to say that Saburo had already entered, and Gorou also threw away his weapon, and it seemed that the two of them were sitting and talking.

Gao sighed at this time, nodded and said, "Alas, it seems that this child still listens to his third brother, and even I, a mother, are not so good!" ”

"What does Grandma say that?" The eldest girl Chunfang was quite eye-catching, handed over the cold tea with one hand, took Gao's silk fan with the other, and said with a smile: "Wulang is your flesh and blood, and naturally mother and son are connected."

San Lang is the elder brother, and it is the duty to assist the son-in-law. Gorou's ability to accept words and listen to advice shows that he is magnanimous and is really a good seedling to be an official. Your blessings are yet to come! ”

Gao Shi's heart was overjoyed and he laughed out loud.

Chunfang hurriedly took the opportunity to remind: "Grandma, the labor matchmaker is still waiting outside, do you think you should continue to call in and continue to talk about what Fang just said, or tell her to go back first and come back another hour?" ”
