A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

The things were sent by Jane's mother.

Because of what happened to Cen Huiyuan, Mrs. Cen now hates Cen's mother and son to the bone.

Therefore, Jane's mother's attitude is also very cold and arrogant.

Qi Xin hid behind Cen's, saw the clothes, knew that the Cen's family was going to be serious with her, tears came down on the spot: "Mother!"

When she was in the capital, it's not that Cen didn't plan a marriage for her.

In the early years, it was because the whole family was waiting for Qi Wenang to replace Qi Wenjing and become the heir of the Marquis of Changning. In this way, the identities of the children would also rise accordingly, and the marriages that could be climbed would naturally be better, so they have not been in a hurry to make a decision. Down.

Later, although it was discovered that Qi Wenang was basically hopeless to become a leader, Mrs. Cen wanted to securely arrange a marriage for her daughter, but Qi Xin's own appetite could not be suppressed by the adoptive father.

It is for this reason——

It was she who abandoned her shame and made a desperate attempt to find Qin Song.

Later, even if she stumbled with Qin Song and ruined her reputation, she would not be reduced to the point of being a concubine anyway.

This so-called wedding dress was a huge humiliation in her eyes.

Cen was also out of breath.

But now the three of them, mother and son, are under house arrest, and she even has to suppress her temper and say coldly, "I haven't responded to this matter yet, I, Sister Xin, is a daughter of the Marquis of Changning." , do you still want to marry by force?"

Mother Jane's face was as still as a mountain, her chin was raised high, she no longer had the respect she used to have when facing this aunt, but she was contemptuous and contemptuous: "This matter was decided by our master. Find him and talk."

It's about her daughter's life, no matter what, Cen has to fight, and she will go to find her second brother immediately.

Mother Jian followed closely but changed the subject and said coolly; "But I advise my aunt not to go, you and my master are brothers and sisters, we grew up together when we were young, don't you know what kind of temper the master has? Let's be honest, since he has decided on this marriage, he will never take it back. If you want to make trouble again... you will completely tear your face, and both of us will not look good. "

In fact, since the death of her elder brother, Cen has been somewhat wary of her second elder brother.

Because this person is really too vicious.

If it was something else, she would weigh the pros and cons, and she might just break her teeth and swallow her blood, and she would bear it no matter what, but now she can't ruin her daughter's life no matter what.

"You just wait inside." Almost without thinking, Cen gritted her teeth and patted the back of Qi Xin's hand to comfort her, then pushed Mother Jian out of the house, and went straight to Master Cen's study outside .

The New Year's Eve is not over yet, Second Master Cen doesn't need to go to the yamen, and it happens that he has no entertainment today, so he just sits in the study and reads a book.

Mrs. Cen pushed the door open, and said straightforwardly: "I know you are trying to vent your anger, and I would be angry with you if this happened, but since it has already happened, the remedy is, do you really want to vent your anger for a while?" Have you completely fallen out with the Hou Mansion in the capital? After all, Sister Xin is the daughter of their Qi family, if you insist on going your own way... this slap will not only hit the Qi family, but even the Duke of Ping's mansion will follow suit. Isn't it worth the loss by then?"

It's not that she forcibly pulls up the banner as a tiger's skin, and it is indeed the case.

Qi Xin can marry someone from a lower family background, but she must be a dignified and upright wife. It means that the Qi family does not cling to the rich and powerful, and has its own strength of character, but she must never demean herself as a concubine. Unless you are entering the palace to be a concubine or go to the palace to be the concubine of the prince, no matter how important you are as a concubine, Qi Huan, who is a big family, is going to marry high. When the time comes, everyone will take her The cousin's embarrassing marriage ran against her, and the Gu family would also be implicated.

Master Cen was unmoved, and still had a clear mind: "The relationship between you and the big house of the Hou Mansion is already extremely cold, and the relationship between me and the Pingguo Mansion is even more twisted. Can't you expect them to support you? As for the so-called enmity... let alone, so don't try to fool me."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cen would think that he would be so repulsive, so she tightly squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, gritted her teeth and said again; "You let my sister Xin go, I will ask my master to find a relationship to transfer my eldest nephew back to Beijing this time. , the guarantee is real, and it only goes up but not down."

Cen Youming, the eldest son of the Cen family, became an official in Chunwei one year earlier than Qi Yuanming.

However, the relationship between the Cen family was not strong enough. They couldn't get any good official positions in Beijing, so they simply let go of other posts. Now they are at the same level as Yu Huaijin, and he is also a county magistrate of the seventh grade. It's just that he is not in Qingzhou to avoid suspicion. Work in the country.

The condition offered by Cen is not unattractive.

and--

After Qi Wenang was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he has taken a big step forward. Now he really has the ability to do this.

It's just...

Such conditions also failed to impress the Second Master Cen at all.

If the Qi family was willing to help his son at the beginning of his official career, he would be grateful, but now...

Qi Wenang doesn't even seem to care much about his own son's career, how much can he do to support his wife's nephew?
The Second Master Cen saw at a glance that this was Cen's big cake and the plan to slow down the army. He didn't bother to point it out, so he just threw the book in his hand on the table heavily, and said coldly: "I just believe that my sister-in-law has this ability, so I want to fight with you even more." You two got married. Didn't your Ming brother arrange all the ways? If I hold sister Xin in my hands, won't you and your brother-in-law be more dedicated to promoting your eldest nephew's career? "

In fact, it's not mainly for the Qi family to support his son's career. The main reason is that Qi Yuanming of the Qi family is too deceitful. After all, the two families have turned against each other. retaliation.

At this moment, Cen's mind was in a state of confusion, and he didn't bother to speculate on what he meant.

But seeing that the Second Master Cen still speaks with a gun and a stick without showing any affection, her heart continues to sink.

Two brothers and sisters, facing each other.

For a long time——

In the end, Cen was still sensible and did not threaten him with killing his brother.

She glared at her second brother bitterly, then turned around and left in a reckless manner.

Master Cen's pupils shrank slightly, and he called out to the attendants in the courtyard: "Send my aunt back to the guest courtyard, and accompany my cousin to prepare for marriage."

"Yes!" His relative followed the wind swiftly, immediately came up to him, and stopped Cen Shi with his hand.

Cen was furious: "You said that I don't want to stay in your Cen's house and I can leave at any time. Is this going back on my word? Now that your family is going to marry my daughter by force, and it hurts my heart so much, do you still want to force me to watch on the spot?" No?"

Master Cen remained calm: "If you go out now and hire a group of bodyguards to rob people by force, wouldn't it add bad luck to this happy event?"

In a word, Cen's selfishness was fully exposed, and the road ahead was even more blocked!

Cen Shi was still afraid of him before and just muddled through, but now she is clearly cornered and cornered. In order to protect her daughter, she dares to do anything.

"You!" Cen Shi was choked by him and almost didn't come up.

She turned around and wanted to go out, but the entourage called for someone to come, and several women with big arms pushed her back to the guest house forcibly.

Seeing that she was brought back by someone, Qi Xin knew that the situation in front of her was far worse than she imagined, so she burst into tears again: "Mother, what should I do now? I can't marry my cousin as a concubine... ...If so, I will have to die."

Cen is under the control of others, so he really has no idea at the moment.

Now she only regrets why she didn't leave first yesterday, if she is free now, she still has room to play, but now she is really at a loss what to do.

She hugged her daughter, feeling angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Qi Xin cried for a long time to no avail, and her hatred was transferred to Qi Yuanming, the instigator, and suddenly raised her head and wiped away her tears and said to Cen: "This disaster was caused by my elder brother, can't I tell my elder brother to make amends and receive punishment for my second uncle? He was going to marry his cousin..."

The Cen family also has to find a way out and a future for their daughter, right?
Is there any more talk about this?
Cen, however, sees the current situation much more clearly than she does, and shakes her head bitterly: "Now it's not a question of whether our family is willing to marry, it's your second uncle who was angered, he would rather give up this daughter than let us eat her." Same bitterness!"

"Then...then what should I do..." Qi Xin was helpless again, so she threw herself into Cen's arms and began to cry.

Master Cen is indeed very cunning and cunning, he only spends the whole day arranging the house and sending wedding invitations to relatives and friends, and he didn't even pick an auspicious day...

In other words, Qi Xin became a member of their Cen family the next day.

The mother and son were locked in this yard, unable to move an inch, and could only be slaughtered.

Qi Xin cried for two days and one night, her eyes were swollen badly.

Can--

After all, forcing her to die is just lip service. She has a high spirit, but she is not high enough to fight with her life.

The ceremony of taking a concubine is simple, you only need to toast a cup of tea to the main wife at home in front of all the guests in the wedding hall.

What's more, Qi Xin originally lived in the Governor's Mansion, and she didn't even connect with relatives. She just waited for the auspicious time to take her to the wedding hall to offer tea from this room in the guest courtyard.

However, she is still a girl from the Marquis of Changning, and the Cen family gave her a bit of dignity, so she didn't ask her to show her face, so she got a square hijab to cover her face, and Cen Youming, the eldest son of the Cen family, came to pick her up in person. people.

Well, even if the Cen family deliberately humiliated her and didn't want to give her this dignity, it's not okay, because her eyes were so crying that she couldn't see anyone, and she cried so much that she called Xi Niang, who went to wait for the dressing, to not even put on her makeup. She was still crying underneath, and if she didn't cover it up, everyone in Qingzhou knew that Fu Yin forcibly married his sister's daughter as his son's concubine.

Picking a concubine and marrying a wife are similar, and they will be chosen in the evening.

The government office was full of guests and friends, and the ceremony was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Coming out of the guest courtyard, Cen Youming supported his cousin's hand, straddled the saddle, crossed the brazier, and walked all the way to the Xitang amidst the booing of relatives and friends.

Qi Yuanming stood on the porch of the guest courtyard, watching coldly as if the matter had nothing to do with him, with a sinister and terrifying expression.

Thanks to the fact that it was getting late and he was standing in an unobtrusive position, no one noticed his unlucky face.

And Cen's——

But he was locked in the room and didn't show up at all.

She didn't agree with this marriage at all, and it was even more impossible for her to force a smile and put on a smiling face to send the marriage off.

mainly--

Can't afford to lose this man!

She didn't push the door out until Chuichuidada's marriage team turned into the front garden and disappeared.

With a sullen face, he glanced across the yard at his son standing on the opposite porch.

Qi Yuanming stood with his hands behind his back, without moving.

In fact, the mother and son had already discussed in person before this, and Qi Yuanming said that he would not leave and stay to deal with the aftermath...

Mrs. Cen couldn't hold him back, and in a hurry, she didn't care about him much, and she complained more or less because of what he did this time, so the mother and son just couldn't understand each other under the dim light. looked at each other.

Then, Cen sighed heavily, and took Xu's mother away quickly.

She didn't know—

This glance was the last time she and her son looked at each other.

The group of people only brought a close-fitting bag with a change of clothes, and hurried away.

Xu's mother went to the servant's room in the front yard and called her coachman and guards, telling them to drive away.

Cen took several other maids and went straight to the gate.

At this time, it was the time for the couple to salute at the wedding hall, and almost all the guests who were supposed to come had already entered the door, but in the first month, everyone was idle, and this was another wedding event at the Fu Yin's mansion, so happy candy was waiting at the gate to watch the excitement The crowd was so dense that it couldn't get through.

The housekeeper who was still guarding the gate and receiving the occasional guests was the housekeeper. Seeing Mrs. Cen come out with a black face, he immediately felt like a formidable enemy: "Auntie, our master has something to say..."

Seeing that she couldn't suppress her anger, Cen stared at him fiercely and reprimanded him: "The people from your family have ganged up on me and abused me. I don't want to see what's going on inside. You won't let me out of this door after all this time. , is this forcing me to go back and make trouble in the wedding hall?"

What my master did was really bullying. If it wasn't for my aunt who placed the order, how could they be so aggressive given the difference in family status between the two families?
The housekeeper is naturally the second master Cen's confidant, and knows the whole story of this matter well.

Inside, Xitang is still full of excitement, and they are already doing business. Seeing Cen like this, she has no choice but to admit it, even if she goes out now and wants to gather people to come back and grab people...

As long as the ceremony is complete, Qi Xin will be an out-and-out member of the Cen family, and she has no right to snatch it back.

Seeing that the people watching outside the gate were already scratching their necks, pointing and discussing, the housekeeper knew that Cen could not be forced anymore, so he let it go as soon as he saw it, and called for the side door to be opened, and her chariots and horses to be driven away. out.

Cen led a group of servants with black faces all the way, boarded the carriage and left without looking back.

At that time, on the wedding hall inside, seeing that the last crucial link had been reached, the newly entered concubine's room had to serve tea to the mistress.

The newcomer under the hijab obediently stepped forward, knelt down neatly, and took the teacup that Xi Niang handed to her in a steady manner...

Master Cen looked at it with a smile on his face, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong!

Qi Xin did not agree to this so-called marriage. It stands to reason that even if she reluctantly cooperates due to the situation, she should be very resistant.

But now it is already above the Xitang, if the ceremony is called off at this time, not only will there be a big joke, but it will also be beaten.

But Mrs. Cen will not sit still, since she has gained time, she will definitely find a way to get her daughter out immediately while the guards are gone!

If he delays for a moment now, there will be an extra risk of letting go.

"There is a problem with this newcomer." Master Cen took a deep breath, his expression remained calm, and he whispered to Mrs. Cen who was sitting next to him.

Mrs. Cen's expression froze slightly, and she almost jumped up on the spot to take off the newcomer's hijab.

Fortunately, she was not slow to react, she sat back as soon as she raised her buttocks, stared suspiciously at the newcomer who was already kneeling in front of her, and asked Master Cen Er in a low voice: "What?"

"Switched." Master Cen Er said, he didn't bother to explain further, he just gave her a wink.

Mrs. Cen understood in seconds, but she didn't bother to get to the bottom of it. She beckoned to Jian's mother and whispered to her to go to the guest courtyard to block people.

Jane's mother here was also very surprised, promised, and hurried out of the crowd.

But she had just walked to the door of Xitang——

The newlyweds who were kneeling to serve tea suddenly pulled off the hijab, jumped up and begged for mercy in tears: "Uncle, uncle, please forgive me, my lady is unwilling to be a concubine, she ran away a long time ago, and pushed her away before she left." The servant came out to make up the number, but the servant is a girl, and the deed of sale is still in the hands of my wife. Her status is humble, and without the master's permission, she can't just agree to it. And... and I am not worthy of the young master Biao!"

The second master Cen found out that the situation was different, and the reason why he decided to hide immediately and keep quiet was actually wishful thinking——

Although he could see that the newcomer saluting was not Qi Xin, the guests present did not know it. As long as the ceremony was completed and the person was sent to the bridal chamber covered with a veil, even the old master Qi Zhengyu of the Qi family would not be able to explain this in person. Even if Qi Xin was able to hide for a while, the Qi family still had to obediently send her back in the end.

But after all—

He made it so easy!

because--

The maid who came out to salute instead of Qi Xin predicted his prediction and knew that he would use this kind of trap to deceive the Qi family, so she got stuck in the last step before the ceremony and revealed her identity, abolishing the concubine ceremony.

And this maid is none other than Qi Xin's personal maid Zhu Sha!
When Zhu Sha made a fuss, all the guests were dumbfounded, and there was no sound in the bustling wedding hall.

The complexion of the Cen family's second bedroom family is like opening a soy sauce shop, with different colors and changes back and forth.

"Bitch!" Cen Youming felt that he had been humiliated, and he was the first to recover, so he rushed forward and slapped Zhu Sha.

Cinnabar was knocked to the ground.

Even if Second Master Cen wants to rely on the fact that outsiders don't know Qi Xin, he will continue to fool around...

But being slapped by his son is tantamount to admitting the fact that this maid is not Qi Xin in disguise.

In fact, half of Zhu Sha's face was numb from this slap, but she didn't lie down and let others slaughter her. The next moment, she quickly got up and grabbed the hem of Cen Youming's robe to show her favor: "Master Biao, Miss should run away!" It’s not far away, and this servant will take you to chase after him!”

In this case, even if the person is chased back, the Cen family will become a laughing stock.

Anyway-

This reputation is completely defeated!

Can--

Even if it is hopeless to restore his reputation, Cen-shi will play this game for him, so that the second master Cen will be completely enraged, no matter what, he will arrest Qi Xin and come back. Take her daughter away.

At this time, he could no longer care about comforting the guests, he got up and rushed out with the hem of his robe.

result--

As soon as he stepped out of the wedding hall, he was stopped by Qi Yuanming in the yard.

Qi Yuanming put on an expression like someone who had nothing to do, and said lightly: "Second Uncle, please have a private chat with me, I have something..."

As he spoke, he glanced at all the guests present, "It's hard to say in public."

Master Cen thought that what he was going to talk about was about Qi Xin, suppressed his anger, and led him to the study.

Before leaving, he secretly gave his son a wink.

Cen Youming understood his hint, and he couldn't bear this uselessness, so he grabbed cinnabar and rushed out.

First went to the guest house to search around but found nothing. The housekeeper at the concierge had already got the news and came to report the details of Mrs. Cen's departure.

Cen Youming's face was livid: "Qi Xin disguised herself as a maid and went with her?"

"No! There are only two maidservants next to my aunt, and I've looked at them carefully." The housekeeper thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head.

Cen Youming didn't have the patience to stand here pondering with him anymore, and grabbed Zhu Sha again: "Did they go out of the city directly? Which way are they going, take me to chase them."

Zhu Sha seemed to be frightened into a fool, or she really led him to chase him just to make amends.

Then it was just as good, blocking the Qi family's carriages and horses near the west city gate.

Cen Youming was not polite, he stopped them and opened the car door to check, but there was only Cen sitting in the carriage, and there was no sign of Qi Xin at all.

Cen Youming's face was ashen, staring at Cen Shi who was sitting in the carriage, but he didn't even call out to his aunt.

Mrs. Cen didn't even bother to argue with him, just sneered and said: "I am the second wife of the Marquis of Changning, an official of the family of a second-rank official in the dynasty. Don't say that I have never committed any crimes in Qingzhou. Even if you kill someone and set fire to it, your local government has no right to deal with it. You have to respectfully send me back to the capital and hand it over to the Kyoto Yamen, unless you have the guts to kill someone and leave my body on the Qingzhou border. "

There is no doubt that the relationship between the two families has completely collapsed.

But the status of the official family member of the Cen family is extraordinary, even if the Cen family is a local snake, they can't touch her.

Not to mention now—

Near the city gate, the point where the gate is about to be closed, many people coming in and out are watching, if there is a slight mistake in a sentence, it is easy to be misrepresented and cause disaster.

Cen Youming gritted his teeth and could only back away to the side.

Cinnabar Qiqi Ai Ai called Cen Shi: "Ma'am!"

Cen said, "Get in the car!"

Cen Youming was unwilling to reconcile and always wanted to leave something behind, but even if he held this little girl and lost the little girl, it would not hurt the mother and daughter of the Cen family, and as Zhu Sha himself said, her deed of prostitution was in the hands of Cen. In his hands, even if he detains him today, in the future when Cen asks someone to ask for him with a deed of sale, he will have to hand him back in full, and he is not even qualified to deal with it privately.

Cen Youming was holding the horsewhip tightly in his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.

In the end, they were let out of the city without saying a word.

"Master, shall we go back?" Seeing Cen's chariot and horses going further and further away, his valet cautiously came up to test it.

Cen Youming said: "Send people to chase along the road. Even if Qi Xin escapes, he will not be able to return to Beijing alone. He must reconcile with his aunt, and then go to his father to get a notice and post it. From now on, we will strictly investigate those who leave the city. I don't believe that a living person can evaporate under my nose!"

She didn't have that kind of interest in Qi Xin, but this matter was about her family's face, and he was really angry.

Come out this trip.In the end, it was still fruitless.

On the other side, after getting out of Qingzhou City, the chariots and horses of Cen and his party ran very fast, as if there was a ghost chasing behind them.

On the carriage, Zhu Sha wiped away her tears, and asked Cen anxiously: "Madam, this time, this slave girl has gone through fire and water for Miss Quan, you promised to let me go out of the house when you return to Beijing..."

The concubine's farce in Qingzhou Prefecture Yin's Mansion will soon spread throughout Qingzhou City, so she doesn't care if there is an extra insider like Zhu Sha, so she does not have any risk of being killed.

At this moment, Mrs. Cen still had some lingering fears, and looked out of the window from time to time to see if there were any pursuers. Hearing this, he didn't think too much about it, and nodded, "Thanks to your suggestion this time, otherwise Sister Xin would really want to break up here." Well, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time will not be in vain for sister Xin's relationship with you as a master and servant over the years. Don't worry, I will count everything I promise you, and I will give you the deed of sale and the money that is next to you when you return."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Zhu Sha lowered her head, concealing her guilty conscience, and squeezed the purse that already contained a reward.

Fortunately, Cen's mind was not on her, and he didn't notice anything at all.
