Chapter 1 I'd rather die than get into trouble
In the city of Nanjing, in a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.
"Young master, wake up, today is the day of your wedding, and it will be an auspicious time to sleep again." The housekeeper came to the money to open the quilt and pulled the person up with all his might.
"The duck neck is delicious, don't run the duck neck, I caught you with the chicken legs, hehehehe......"
I only heard a roar of a lion in Hedong, which was deafening in my ears.
"Young master, it's time to eat!"
"Don't snatch my duck neck, get out of the way, huh...... What about the seats? Come to the money. ”
"Young master, you are sleepy, hurry up and wash up, the auspicious clothes have been delivered, hurry up and don't miss the auspicious time, I'm afraid there will be no feast to eat on the big day."
The young man on the bed jumped out of bed and opened the door, the vegetarian in the courtyard had turned into red silk, and the red lanterns were hung high under the eaves, which showed that his dilapidated courtyard was in a lot of spirits, counting the days, today is indeed the first day of the three-year mourning period.
At the door, there was a matchmaker with flowers and branches, leading a row of energetic maids, holding wedding dresses, wedding hats, hijabs, and red silk.
"Uncle, it's time to get dressed." A group of maids stepped forward and dragged the boy back into the house, and worked together to dress the boy from a sloppy little man with a chicken nest to a pink-faced little student in less than a quarter of an hour.
Lai Qian stood next to him with an embarrassed face.
"Matchmaker, is my lady beautiful?"
"Ouch! The little master is a blessed one, the bride is not only beautiful, but also very rich. ”
"That's good. Ay! What are you building this for me? Take it, almost, go, welcome the kiss. ”
"Isn't it just to cover your head when you get on the sedan chair, don't be shy!"
"Up...... On the sedan chair, do you have any problems with your eyes? Look clearly, I'm the groom, what kind of sedan chair I'm on! ”
"But my uncle is a son-in-law! Uncle, you'd better figure it out, it's our young lady who marries her husband today. ”
The young man threw the hat on his head angrily: "When did Young Master Ben agree to be a son-in-law." This marriage is not married. What are you going to do? Let go of me, uh-huh-hmm......"
With a wave of her hand, seven or eight strong men rushed in, holding hemp ropes, rushing up and holding the young man, skillfully trapping him so that he couldn't move.
The matchmaker swept off the Xipa in the young man's mouth, and said proudly: "Miss ordered, if the uncle regrets it, tie it up and throw it into the sedan chair, go!" Don't block your mouth, let my uncle howl hard. ”
"I don't get on the sedan chair, you are too bold, you dare to tie me, I am Jinyiwei's, my father is Jinyiwei's soothing, you are presumptuous, help! Trafficking in human beings, come to money, help! ”
"Young Master! Master! "The money was pressed to death by two strong men, and he could only watch his young master get on the sedan chair.
Along the way, the young man scolded dirtier than the shrew who bumped into her husband's adultery on the spot, the sound shook like a cow, full of energy, and the gongs and drums could not cover it, and the crowd on the street was surging, and the young man's mouth was blocked again for the sake of the whole face.
The young man nested in the narrow sedan chair, desperately churning, like a silkworm chrysalis that swore to break free from the old shell, the sedan chair staggered on the busy main street, and the pedestrians on the road retreated, secretly sighing that this bride is really unusual.
A carriage on the opposite side galloped past and crashed into the tilted sedan chair, and the boy spun around in the sedan chair for a while, and the huge impact made him unconscious.
……
As soon as Su Xiaolou opened his eyes, he moved, feeling like he was in a coffin, an old man with gray temples was squeezing his eyebrows at him, and whispered: "Young master!" Play dead, don't get up, young master! Master! ”
"Uncle, do you have something wrong with your eyes?"
"Uncle woke up, master, uncle is not dead, Dr. Sun said that he was out of breath, but he was still alive."
A middle-aged man dressed in dark red satin looked like a wealthy businessman, and recruited a doctor to diagnose Su Xiaolou. Su Xiaolou's head was buzzing, didn't he faint in the classroom training class? Wouldn't this be supposed to be in the hospital? How is it that in the coffin, the memory turned into countless fragments and hit the brain, and in pain, he blocked everything in the outside world.
"Master, my uncle is fine, it doesn't affect the succession, but I just broke my head, and it was just a moment of blood condensation."
"Since it's okay, let's continue the ceremony, come on, help my uncle out and send him into the sedan chair."
"Yes."
Send a sedan chair, why do you want to get on a sedan chair, Su Xiaolou's mind is much clearer, crossing, he actually crossed......
He struggled instinctively, what happened a quarter of an hour ago was projected in his mind like a slideshow, and the emotions of resistance came to his heart, Su Xiaolou kicked on the sedan chair, the sedan chair rumbled to the ground, and the happy hat on his head also fell to the ground, and the maid who was holding Su Xiaolou had a cold war, and was stunned in place.
The rich businessman was furious, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Su Xiaolou, don't go too far, this family affair was agreed to by your late father, and the words of your parents' orders are not up to you." I am the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River in the Shen family, and I am only a small flag in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, which is more than enough, if it weren't for Wanning liking you, and I want to marry you if I was looking for death and life, this family would have retired a long time ago. ”
Su Xiaolou's mind gradually cleared up, looking at his broken yard with leaky wind and barren grass everywhere, how could a young man in the new era be bound by the old etiquette, he smiled calmly: "Lord Yue? The richest man in Jiangnan? Got a lot of money, huh? Okay, don't suffer, what about the hijab? What about bands? Let's go! ”
"Wait!" The wealthy businessman took out a piece of paper from his arms and gave it to Su Xiaolou: "Sign this and then leave." ”
Su Xiaolou took a closer look, the prenuptial agreement, with three obedience and four virtues written on it, the latter are clearly slave contracts, and they can be tolerated if they don't accept concubines, and it is too much to sign a slave contract, this is to rub his dignity on the ground, which is tolerable or unbearable.
Su Xiaolou tore up the agreement in a fit of rage: "This agreement is not signed by the young master, and this son-in-law is not the right young master." My father agreed that my Su family would marry the daughter of the Shen family, not that I would join the Shen family. ”
The rich merchant sneered: "What, you still want to marry the daughter of my Shen family?" Our family Wanning is married to the son of Nanjing Zhenfu, not you, a land scoundrel, let you be rich is to promote you, do you promise to be rich and fall in love with my Shen family's Wanguan family wealth, seeing that Wanguan's family wealth is hopeless, regret it? ”
"Shinong Industry and Commerce, the family of merchants also dare to let Jinyiwei sign a slave contract, I want to see if your life is as bold as yours."
The rich merchant smiled disdainfully: "Tsk! It's good to be young, you can say such stupid things unscrupulously, money can make ghosts push the grind, and my Jiangnan Shen family can let the grind run over your little flag. ”
"You ......" Su Xiaolou knew very well that he was telling the truth, hiring murderers and bribing the people of the Jinyi Guard Yamen, there was a way to make Su Xiaolou disappear quietly.
The rich merchant then said disdainfully: "If you don't want to get rich, you can return my Shen family's dowry." Not much, two thousand three hundred taels. ”
The housekeeper couldn't sit still when he came to the money, after he managed the Su family, everything was in his hands, and he never received a dowry, and asked: "When did our Su family receive a dowry from your Shen family?" How I don't know. ”
"Why didn't we, when the pacification envoy died in the line of duty, didn't our Shen family come to mourn? Didn't you send a dowry of two thousand three hundred taels? The Shen family's treasury is registered out of the warehouse, do you want to repay the debt? ”
"That's obviously ......" Su Xiaolou saw the housekeeper's face collapse, and he understood. At that time, the two families were indeed discussing marriage, and the Shen family did not make it clear what the money was at that time.
He also recalled that his biological father died suddenly, he was overly sad, he held a funeral, and the coffins were the best picked, and he didn't care where the money came from.
This account, whether it is a dowry or not, must be recognized, it is a matter of dignity.
Su Xiaolou said stubbornly: "The money can be returned to you, but I only think that this is a ceremony, not a dowry, and I have never agreed to it." ”
"Just you, pay back? Dig up your father's grave. ”
"You ......"
The rich merchant looked at the gauze oozing blood on his head, and was even more disgusted: "I saw the blood today, and the wedding was held, tsk!" Unlucky! If you want to marry my daughter, unless you are the son of the pacification envoy, or you are the pacification envoy, you are a gentleman who is not a martial artist, and without the help of the family, you will be a hundred households at most in this life. If you want to join my Shen family, you must sign this agreement, and if you want to get out of the marriage, okay! Return the dowry within three days, otherwise, there is a way for you to sign this agreement. ”
"Let's go, go home!" The rich merchant shook his sleeves and left: "Ouch! ”
"Be careful, sir, there are pits on the ground!"
"Don't help me up yet"
Nanjing Jinyi Wei town envoy? What my father could do, I can do it.
Su Xiaolou said in disgust: "Isn't it two thousand three hundred taels?" This money has stained my father's reincarnation, and it will definitely be returned to you within three days. ”
