Chapter II

Who does she marry? Wen Shuse was stunned.

The eldest lady on the other side had been calm for a night, and her expression finally fluctuated. Uncle Wen still kowtowed, and he couldn't see clearly, but his back was obviously tense.

The eldest lady said that the old lady didn't want to give the dowry, and deliberately made such a threat, so she couldn't help but feel sad and laughed at herself, "I see that the uncle's squire is not necessarily very majestic, and in the end even two dowries are embarrassing. I can't complain about anyone, it's my eldest lady's life is miserable, and I shouldn't be on such a daddy ......"

It's almost useless to scold Uncle Wen.

The old lady ignored her, asked the uncle to get up, and then continued, "The old man of the Xie family and my Wen family are close to each other, the purpose is to marry Zhu Chen and continue the friendship of the ancestors. When your husband and wife presented the birthday of the eldest lady, you served as the county commander of Zhongzhou, and the Xie family was the deputy envoy of Zhongzhou. ”

"For the sake of this place, I obeyed your wishes and promised my family affairs to the eldest lady. Over the years, the Wen family has been working hard for you, the second child has not touched the ground all year round, thinking that he was not a Lang Jun with a face like white jade when he was young, and then look at him at the moment, that face is a year black and a color, this trip back, I am afraid that I will catch up with the black charcoal in the ashes, the silver is a lot of money, where is it filled, you know in your heart. ”

Uncle Wen had just lifted half of his knees, and he softened again.

"You have the ability and the courage to compete, and now you are sitting in the position of the waiter, what you wish has been fulfilled, and the rest is the icing on the cake."

Without this family business, there is not much loss for his big house.

The old lady first asked for his consent, "Just take charge of my hard work as a mother, this family affair to the second lady can be regarded as a little compensation for the second room, do you have any opinions?" ”

The words were like thunder, and the needles in the house could be heard.

Wen Shuse didn't have time to think about what the mood of the big house was at this time, and decisively refused, "Grandmother, marriage can't be child's play." ”

The Zhuangzi outside the city, in addition to clearing the wasteland and building the attic, there is one more thing she didn't say.

She specially enshrined a Bodhisattva, hoping to eliminate disasters and disasters from now on, and by the way, the requirements for the future Langjun were also made clear, for fear that there were too many wishes, and she seemed to be insincere, ruthless, and spent a lot of money to shape a golden body for it.

She is confident that even if she doesn't have to rob, she can marry a wishful husband.

The old lady didn't hear it, she didn't say anything, her expression was calm, and she waited for Uncle Wen's reply.

The uncle's complexion has already changed a thousand times, and the old lady has a knife in the sugar, and it is enough to say today's remarks that the dissatisfaction with him in her heart has been hidden for a long time.

The shame of destruction made him never raise his head, and he did not dare to look directly at the old lady.

The glory of his life, including his life, was given by Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen, and the ancient king offered his life to express his filial piety to his stepmother, Mrs. Zhu, not to mention that Mrs. Wen treated him with nothing to pick and choose, not his own life than his own life.

It is probably because of this that he gradually forgot the boundary between mother and son, and between brothers.

The eldest lady realized that the old lady was not joking, her face showed panic, she called her mother, and her heart was ridiculous, and she turned her head to look at Uncle Wen with a guilty face, and suddenly felt bad, "Master, the eldest lady is your biological daughter......"

Uncle Wen slammed his head on the ground and made a dull "dong" sound, "Everything is up to the mother, the child is not filial, so the mother is tired, and I beg the mother to punish him." ”

—

On the eve of the wedding, the bride suddenly changed.

The servants in the house shuttled back and forth between the two courtyards, moving out on the one hand and sending them in on the other, so busy that people turned their backs on their horses.

The wedding dress that the eldest lady wore was urged to take it off in a hurry, took off the phoenix crown on her head, and sat in front of the dressing table in plain clothes, with residual makeup on her face.

The eldest lady cried so much that her eyes were swollen, and when she saw her like this, tears came out again, "I said earlier, this adopted son is an adopted son, how can you really compare with your own child, a 'unfilial' hat is buckled on your father's head, not to mention his career, he can be forced to death......"

Mother said carefully. Wen Suning does not follow his mother, like an uncle, he is calm in trouble, and even if he complains in his heart, he does not show it on his face.

"Am I wrong, she thinks that the second lady can be happy when she gets on Ming'er's sedan chair? Stealing beams and changing pillars, if the Xie family knows, they don't know how to ......"

"How?" Wen Suning interrupted softly, "Only when you enter the door can you be considered a family, after a long time, you can still raise your eyebrows, since this marriage has to be laughed and cried, why should my mother leave a bad impression on herself, as long as my father's official position is in place and his reputation is there, what is there to worry about, and it is not worth the stiff relationship between my mother and the second room." ”

Wen Suning had already calmed down.

Although Vice Envoy Xie has great power in Zhongzhou, he is only a local envoy, which cannot be compared with the grade of the imperial court, and the recent moves of the imperial court have the wind direction to rein in the military power of all parties.

What the Xie family can count on in the future is the eldest son of the Xie family.

With the talent of the eldest son of the Xie family, it is certainly a guarantee for her to marry, but even if there is no Xie family, she is not worried, her father is a waiter of the Sipin Ministry of Labor, and he went to the capital to find a relative, maybe it will be worse than the eldest son of Xie.

Family affairs can make it, and there can be no shortage of silver in the future career.

The second uncle has made a lot of money in Fuzhou in recent years, and has purchased industries everywhere, and half of the teahouses in Zhongzhou are in his name, and the wealth will only accumulate more and more.

Having money is not everything, but when you go to a place where an inch of land is gold in the eastern capital, you can't do it without money.

But the eldest lady couldn't listen.

I have always been optimistic about the character of the eldest son of the Xie family, and I expected that there would be a big future in the future, but now that I have been robbed, I feel more and more that he is a sweet and sweet.

"We really lived the sentence of making wedding dresses for others, your father has been to Dongdu for half a year, if it weren't for this family affair of the Xie family, you and I would have entered the Dongdu early, I don't want to stay in this family for a moment, just keep the second room in front of her to do my filial piety, and when Ming'er passes, we will ......all leave."

It's just not oil and salt.

For her mother, Wen Suning occasionally felt very powerless, and she didn't have the heart to continue with her, "I'm tired, mother go back first." ”

—

The eldest lady was resentful in her belly, and Wen Shuse was not wronged.

On the way back, I was looking forward to seeing the excitement of the bride, but I became a bride.

It happened too suddenly, and the wedding clothes were all on, and they haven't eased up yet.

In order to make this wedding dress for Wen Suning before, the second master of the Wen family found dozens of sea pearls from all over the place, and the eldest lady had all of them set on the wedding dress, so the size of the chest was slightly larger.

Wen Shuse and Wen Suning were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, Wen Shuse was only a few hours younger than her, but she was two fingers taller than Wen Suning, and the little meat on her chest was also more beneficial.

The wedding dress is like tailor-made, more suitable than the eldest lady, but Wen Shuse has no intention of appreciating her beauty, and she temporarily crammed her feet, wanting to inquire about the Lang Jun who had just 'robbed' her.

The eldest son of the Xie family, the county magistrate of Zhongzhou, is the same as the eldest lady of the Wen family, and her reputation is far and wide, and she has never seen herself.

It's the third son of the Xie family, she has seen it.

A month ago, Princess Jing and Mrs. Zhou fell in love with Ming Wanrou, the second girl of the Ming family, and asked the media to come to the door to propose marriage.

The Ming family is a generation of scholars, Ming Wanrou does not go out of the door on weekdays, how dare she meet a foreign man privately, she has no idea for a while, and she has found Wen Shuse.

Wen Shuse has played with her since she was a child, and she is a delicate girl from a family, but her temperament is very different, one is indecisive, the other is full of perseverance, after listening to the words of the lady Ming, she already has a guess in her heart.

If you meet in private and don't let you tell the elders in the family, no matter how you think about it, it can't be considered fair.

Because of the identity of the other party, and worried that this family affair is really done, Ming Wanrou offended her future husband before she got married, and in the future, he will deliberately stumble, and life will not be easy.

After compromise, Wen Shuse came up with a solution.

The other party really showed sincerity, it is not impossible to meet before making a marriage, look at the outline roughly through the curtain, and say a few more words, understand each other, Yu Ming Wanrou is also a good thing. If you want to do what you want, then don't blame her for being unkind.

On that day, the lady of the Ming Dynasty went to the place of the date first, and Wen Shuse hid in the dark to investigate.

That week, Kuang Sheng was really not kind, he was not the only one who came, but also three foreign men behind him.

Xie Shao, urging, Pei Qing.

Xie Shao is the only son of Xie Fu's second room Xie Fu, five years ago Xie Fushu resigned and moved back to Zhongzhou, since then he does not ask about the government, idle clouds and wild cranes, but his son has gradually emerged in Zhongzhou, fame and notoriety go hand in hand, spread far away in Zhongzhou, no one knows.

He is the son of a wealthy merchant in Zhongzhou, and he has nothing to do all day.

Pei Qing's father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it is said that the relationship between the father and son is not harmonious, and he did not go to the Eastern Capital with him, and one stayed in Zhongzhou and sought a position of inspector in Yamen.

The four of them often walk side by side on the street, calling themselves the four talents in front of them, and they are later called, "young and frivolous." ”

- Shaoqing Kuang.

Wen Shuse has heard of the names of several people, she is a little lady in the boudoir, she shouldn't have caused trouble, but she was bullied to her own small head, she couldn't care, she lay on the wall to see it clearly, and when a few people arrived, open the door and let the dog go.

Unexpectedly, the four people who are usually imposing and imposing, when they saw the dog, they actually climbed the beam.

Although Wen Shuse explained to his grandmother afterwards that the big black dogs didn't bite at all, and the piece of meat that fell from Zhou Kuang's buttocks pier was scraped off by the tiles when he climbed the roof by himself, but to no avail, he was first punished to kneel, and then he was driven to Zhuangzi outside the city, and he stayed for a month, and only returned to the city today.

What a difference can come out of a nest.

Xiangyun saw her thoughts and persuaded, "Don't worry, the eldest son of the Xie family has seen it, and her appearance is excellent, which is different from the third son of the second room of the Xie family." ”

Although the eldest prince has the upper hand in appearance, the skin is the most unreliable, and it is too good to attract bees and butterflies.

These words have helped a little.

Compare her with the eldest lady, a dignified and quiet, far-sighted; One was happy in time, and I didn't want to eat this meal again.

The difference between people is indeed quite big.

Wen Shuse's stiff neck was slightly soft, and she was immediately pinched by her mother's chin, and the fine and pure cotton yarn was twisted on her face.

She exhaled out with a "pain", and Xiangyun next to her was relieved, "Besides, the old lady treats the lady to the heart, and can she hurt the lady?" I must feel that the eldest son of the Wen family has a good temperament, and his wife will be cared for in the future...... Although the third son of the Xie family is not in a good mood, but when the lady enters the door, he also has to call you 'sister-in-law'. ”

—

As soon as the night fell, the lights were turned off in the tile house, and the noisy voices reflected the lights and broke out of the hooked windows of the sills, and the excitement did not diminish in the slightest.

A carriage stopped in front of the teahouse, and the scholar standing on the blue stone on the threshold had been waiting for a long time, and saw the carriage hurriedly turn around and enter the house. Soon came out of it, followed by a young man in brocade clothes and jade belts, walked to the carriage, boarded the carriage and lifted the curtain, got in, looked up at the people in the car, and called enthusiastically, "Brother Xie." ”

The person who came was Zhou Kuang, who had just returned to the city tonight.

Xie Shao moved in, leaning lazily against the wall of the car, swept the wide sleeves trimmed with embroidered auspicious clouds, retracted and rested on his lap, and cast a pair of black eyes, looking at the joke for a long time.

To say that this person, whether it is his appearance or bearing, will be the material of dignitaries and dignitaries in the future, but it is a pity that like him Zhou Kuang, his strength has made the wrong direction.

Eating the nutrients of the towering tree, he grew into a crooked neck, and only cared about the side branches.

Every time Zhou Kuang saw his handsome and noble face, but in fact he was unruly, he would always have a sentence in his mind, "People look like dogs." ”

After a month of healing, Zhou Kuang's buttocks were healed, but he left a shadow in his heart, he paused obviously before sitting down, and couldn't wait to complain about his bitterness as soon as he sat down, "What kind of broken Zhuangzi is that, I don't even have a decent bed, there are many mosquitoes at night, and I almost didn't suck me ......up" said with full sadness, and hated the culprit who caused all this.

It was not only Wen Shuse who was punished to Zhuangzi, but also Zhou Kuang.

After Mrs. Zhou found out, she felt that the faces of the Zhou family had been lost by him, and despite the fact that his buttocks were still rotten, she was carried away that day and sent outside the city.

The second lady of the Wen family, he has heard and seen it.

It is indeed beautiful and fairy.

But just because she is good-looking, she can't make up for the piece of meat that fell off her buttocks, and she can't erase his ability to endure this living sin.

Especially when he hung on the eaves that day, the few "giggles" he heard like silver bells could not be removed.

"I'm a big man to take revenge on the little lady, I seem narrow-minded, I lose my demeanor, this account is counted on her head first, and when she gets married in the future, I will find her husband, and I have to tear off a layer of his skin." Halfway through speaking, he suddenly remembered Ming'er's family affairs, and stopped talking in time, and the two families became relatives in the future, which was really difficult to do, but it made him smile and be unwilling, and twisted for a long time before he reluctantly said, "If it weren't for your face, I would have to ......."

On the day of the injury, Zhou Kuang was wearing a light-colored shirt, and after the buttocks were hung with color, they were splashed with cinnabar dye, which was extremely eye-catching.

It hurts to think about it.

Xie Shao is not without sympathy, "You don't have to give face, my Xie family is married to Mrs. Wen." ”

The implication is that although he is relieved to find Wen Erniang to collect debts.

Zhou Kuang glanced at him hesitantly, remembering that it was not only himself who suffered at that time, but he understood, and leaned over and asked, "Brother Xie, are you also afraid of dogs?" ”

Seeing Xie Shao's gaze suddenly fixed on his face, gradually fading, he had a premonition that he would not be pleased.

Sure enough, "Originally, I thought that you had been vegetarian for a month, and I didn't even drink wine, so I specially booked a private room in Zuixiang Building, but now it seems that you are not rare......"

The private room of the drunken incense building, a set of blowing, playing and singing, aging delicacies, let alone a hundred taels of silver.

But the third son of Xie in front of him is rich and rich, not only raising the entire Xie family, but also a fat sheep recognized by various merchants in Zhongzhou.

When the former servant resigned, the emperor rewarded him with 50,000 taels of gold for his contribution to the imperial court, and his mother Ruan family was the first spice family in Yangzhou. has a strong family property, and is richer than his Jingwang Mansion.

Money can make ghosts, and people don't care.

"Palm." Zhou Kuang pretended to pat his cheek and apologized in time, "Tomorrow's happy event in your mansion, I will ensure that it will ......be lively."

Suddenly, a "third son" came in from outside.

Xie Shao turned his head and pushed open the mullioned window at hand, the jade crown on his head was slightly off, and the servant in front of the old lady of the Xie family almost squeezed his head in, looking panicked, "The old lady is sick......
