Chapter 13

At this time, the shadow of the sun was slanting to the west, and the light in the room was somewhat dim.

Seeing that Xu Chunjun's black hair was half wet, Cheng's mother was even more charming than usual.But her beauty is always that unobtrusive, elegant and dignified, which is especially easy to be loved by the elders.

Mother Cheng didn't think much about how Mrs. Hou Ye would make things difficult for Xu Chunjun, and she often couldn't help wondering whether this was the right way or not.

"Madame Hou said that as long as I agree to marry her natal nephew, I will immediately send someone to Siyuan to save my second brother." Xu Chunjun knew that no matter how difficult it was, he had to tell Cheng's mother.

When Cheng's mother heard it, she panicked immediately, and said, "This...how did you say this? How can there be such a courtship!"

Then he calmed down and said, "I remember Madam Chengyihou's maiden name is Zheng. When we didn't leave Beijing, the old earl of his family had already passed away, and a son was about the same age as our second master, but he also died of illness. I vaguely remember that there was a young master in his family who took the title, and he is in his early twenties now."

"Madam Hou is talking about him." Xu Chunjun said.

"Girl, although I don't know what this young uncle looks like, I'm afraid it's not a good match. Although I shouldn't say this, but if he is a good man, why would Mrs. Hou use this to coerce him into letting him go?" A girl coming in?" Cheng's mother was worried.

Xu Chunjun couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard the words: "Mom is indeed a smart person. Mrs. Hou Ye didn't hide it from me, she bluntly said that this Zheng Wuji is very miserable, and I'm afraid that his family fortune will be ruined in his hands. I can't find a well-matched family in the capital. I hit myself again."

"That's true!" Cheng's mother sighed, "It's really embarrassing for the girl. It stands to reason that I am a servant, and I shouldn't talk about the master's affairs. It is really important to save the second young master, but this is obviously a fire pit, the girl must not jump into it." .Let’s just look for another place, I still have two old acquaintances, let them help to ask, see if there is any other way.”

"Thank you, Mom, for thinking about me. It's just that this matter has come to this point, and I'm afraid it's not easy to change the way. Mrs. Hou will probably stop it. Even if she doesn't stop, others will know that we have already begged her Naturally, I don’t want to solicit this matter anymore. After all, the exchanges between dignitaries and dignitaries are more important than helping us.” Cheng’s mother said that Xu Chunjun didn’t think about it, but she had already discussed it with the third aunt before entering Beijing. However, there are only two people who can be entrusted, and they have to go to the Shangguan again and again.

What's more, no matter how detoured this matter is, it still falls to the Ministry of Punishment in the end, and it is difficult to avoid it.

"Although that's what you say, you can't ruin you, girl!" Cheng's mother couldn't help crying, "You came to Beijing for the sake of us three girls, if she knew it would happen, she would never agree Yes. I can't explain to my old lady!"

The Xu family is Xu Chunjun's third aunt, Xu Lang, who is in charge. Xu Daoan was arrested, and several sisters-in-law of the Xu family wanted Xu Lang to be the county magistrate's successor in exchange for his nephew's safety.

Because the county magistrate Cao Hong has always coveted Xu Lang, and he once asked someone to tell him.

But Xu Lang has long vowed not to marry in this life, not to mention that she has paid too much for the Xu family over the years.

Xu Chunjun couldn't bear his aunt being wronged, so he offered to go to Beijing to find a way out, and that's how things happened today.

"I naturally know that even if I don't agree, the third aunt will definitely not blame me." Xu Chunjun said, "But if the second elder brother has something wrong, our Xu family's life will only be more difficult in the future."

"Does the girl really want to accept this marriage?" Cheng's mother asked, in fact, she also knew in her heart that no matter who encountered such a thing, it would be difficult to refuse.

After all, human life is at stake, and it is also about the entire family.If Xu Chunjun does not agree, she will become a sinner of the Xu family.

"When Mrs. Hou Ye told me, I didn't agree immediately, but just let me think about it for a few days." Xu Chunjun has never been a naive person, she knows that in this world, only relatives, flesh and blood or true confidantes will be willing to give Don't pay back, and exchange the rest.

"What the girl said is that such a big matter can't be done without careful consideration." Cheng's mother said hurriedly.

"If it's just about saving the second elder brother, maybe there's still room for change." Xu Chunjun thought about every possibility, "But Mrs. Hou added another condition later."

"What is it?" Cheng's mother asked, she wondered what made Xu Chunjun more difficult to refuse.

"She said that if I agreed to marry Zheng Wuji, she would let my uncle and the others end their exile and return to the capital." Xu Chunjun couldn't ignore the safety of his parents.

"This..." Mother Cheng didn't know what to say for a while.

No matter which of the two conditions Mrs. Hou raised is very important to the Xu family.

The more so, the less likely Xu Chunjun would refuse.

She laid everything out clearly and let Xu Chunjun make his own decision, but in fact she had calculated everything clearly.

"Girl, I remembered, we still have one person to ask for." Mother Cheng's old eyes suddenly glowed again.

"I know who you're talking about," Xu Chunjun smiled, "It's just that I didn't intend to find him from the beginning."

"And why?" Mother Cheng was puzzled.

"Third Aunt hasn't asked him for so many years. It's because she didn't want to and didn't want to." Xu Chunjun looked out the window. There are very few things to maintain. I don't want to make her an exception, as a junior, that's all I can do."

Xu Chunjun can put down her face and ask for help, but she is unwilling to sacrifice the dignity of the third aunt.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, dignity is not worth mentioning.But Xu Chunjun knew that Xu Lang regarded it as more important than life.

Hearing what she said, Cheng's mother couldn't bear it anymore, and she covered her face and burst into tears.

"Good girl! After all these years in this family, you are the only one who really thinks about our third girl, and you are the only one who really loves her. The rest of the people want to peel her skin and drink her blood, and even think that she doesn't have enough blood. "As the head of the family, Xu Lang is misunderstood and accused has become commonplace.

Looking for her for lack of food and clothing, looking for her when you are sick and having no money, even weddings and funerals, and relationships, there is nothing that does not depend on her.

But once something happened in the family, she was all counted on to make up the mind, and once the matter was not done well, all the responsibilities fell on her alone.

The phrase "be a bad water tank for your family" is vividly reflected in Xu Lang.

Cheng's mother has been by Xu Lang's side all year round, and knows her hardships and grievances best.

"I lost my biological mother since I was a child, and the one I admire the most is my third aunt. With her talent and appearance, even if our family is in ruins, we can still marry into a mid-level family to nourish our lives. But she doesn't want the Xu family to fall apart. Do everything possible to revive the family business. At the most difficult time for our family, the third aunt entered the gambling house once and won 300 taels of silver and came back, which helped the whole family to tide over the difficulties. Now I have also been pushed to the gambling table, The bet is on me." Xu Chunjun handed his handkerchief to Mother Cheng, without any self-pity in his tone, "If I lose, I will just ruin my life. If I win, I can revitalize Xu and Zheng. Home, it’s not a loss.”
