Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 2
Wen Qian left the house, walked through the main room, and came to the yard.

As soon as I saw it, I saw two pretty girls with the same appearance, sitting on an old long bench, washing clothes around the mouth of the well in the courtyard dam.

In a short while, combining the memories in her mind, she immediately knew that the two were the original owner's younger sister, Wen Yu and Wen Wen.

Just as Wen Qian was hesitating whether to speak, Wen Yu stood up and looked at her anxiously: "Brother...Brother, are you looking for a mother? The mother has gone to the old house and said that she is discussing your marriage tomorrow." Do you want to go see it?"

Wen Yu's frightened face made Wen Qian want to laugh.

The original owner stayed in the town almost all the year round... probably studying in the town, these memories are a little fuzzy.

However, the memory of the original owner at home is very clear, and he often has a cold face. Except for the younger brother Wen Kun who is not afraid of him, Jiang and the two younger sisters are quite afraid of him.

At this moment, Wen Rou, who was born half an hour younger, actually laughed at the cold-faced elder brother, and couldn't help but boldly asked: "Brother, have you figured it out and are willing to get married?"

"Yeah." Wen Qian nodded, frowning slightly, and the two sisters became a little less courageous.

With such a temperament, it is easy to be bullied to death when married, so should she do something?

"Brother, you're here. That's great. Grandma is going to take her uncle and uncle to Liu's family to retire. You can go to the old house to persuade her!"

Wen Kun ran out of the courtyard to Wen Qian out of breath, and said eagerly: "Brother, your hunger strike and coma for two days is not what my mother said, but my aunt accidentally slipped her mouth! That's why I let grandma know If we find out the real situation, we will go to the Liu family to destroy the relatives."

"Oh? How did the aunt know?" Wen Qian raised her eyebrows, and looked at Wen Kun carefully.

"Uh." Wen Kun was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Big brother, everyone in the uncle and second uncle's family knows about this except grandma. On the second day after you were unconscious, my mother went to invite the doctor , I even went to inform the people in the old house. After all, you are the only scholar in the Wen family. If something happened, my mother would not be able to afford it. Unexpectedly, the uncles and second uncles told my mother to keep it secret and did not inform grandma. Today, my aunt was too anxious to speak, so..."

Grasping the key words, Wen Qian couldn't help asking, "Secret? Why keep it secret?"

Wen Kun rubbed his head in a naive manner: "Because this girl from the Liu family is the second aunt's cousin, and this marriage was arranged by my father while he was still alive. Once the second aunt asked, my uncle and my mother naturally agreed."

In fact, the root cause is that the eldest brother is the only scholar in the ten miles and eight villages nearby, and the second aunt naturally doesn't want the fat water to flow to outsiders.

Eldest brother is also the eldest son of the third family. Not only is he famous, but his father also bought a lot of land when he was alive.

But these trivial things, because the eldest brother only studies in the town, he doesn't know much about the situation in the village.

"Well, then let's go to Wen's old house!" Wen Qian smiled faintly.

She has already captured other information from Wen Kun's words, it seems that she has to go to Wen's old house to see!

Wen's compound is at the head of the village, while Wen's old house is in the center of the village, adjacent to the village head's house.

All that Wen Qian saw along the way were mud-walled houses, and in the whole village, only the village head's house and the Wen family's house were made of blue bricks and tiles.

While talking, Wen Qian followed Wen Kun to Wen's old house.

The Wen family's old house is also a brick and tile house.

At this moment, the courtyard door was wide open, and vague voices could be heard coming from the courtyard.

Without hesitation, Wen Qian stepped in.

"Qiuya, Dongya, why don't you two dead girls hurry up and persuade your grandma! See how angry your grandma is, what's the use of raising you, you lose money if you eat and don't work. Persuade everyone Won't!"

As soon as Wen Qian stepped into the yard, she heard the scolding from the auntie.

This is Uncle Wenquan's daughter-in-law Qi, who married Wen's family and had only four daughters. The eldest daughter Wen Chun and the second daughter Wen Xia are both married.

The ones being scolded at the moment are the third daughter Wen Qiu and the fourth daughter Wen Dong.

Since the uncle's family has no son, the old lady of the Wen family is very dissatisfied with the eldest daughter-in-law and picks everywhere.

Therefore, Mrs. Qi also dislikes her own daughter. Every time the old lady gets angry, she pushes her daughter to take the blame.

Uncle is a good man of few words.Yuxiao is very powerful, and he also hopes in his heart that there will be a boy who doesn't like his daughter and is indifferent to his daughter-in-law's behavior.

Unsurprisingly, Wen Qian saw Mrs. Wen holding a cane, glaring aggressively at the two sisters Wen Qiu and Wen Dong who stretched out their hands but dared not help them.

The second uncle Wenquancai and the second aunt Liu Shi looked anxious, and wanted to hold the old lady, but the uncle and the uncle stood in front of them.

The aunt was persuading her, but her attitude was extremely perfunctory, and she intentionally or unintentionally prevented the second aunt from approaching the old lady.

The uncle is filial, and the reason why he stands in front of the second uncle is because he is afraid that he will help his daughter-in-law and anger the old lady.

Wen Qian only regretted not seeing the second uncle's cousin, Wen Liang.

It was only a matter of thought for all the characters and memories to match up, she walked up to Mrs Wen in three steps at a time, pretending to be apologetic and said: "Grandma, it's my grandson's fault, I'm worrying you. "

In Wen Qian's principles, for those who love you, it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, just take the fault on yourself!
"Ah...Agan, why are you here? Are you feeling better?" Mrs. Wen was so excited that tears filled her eyes when she saw Wen Qian.

This precious grandson has been studying in the town all year round, working hard and tired. He thought that someone would take care of him when he returned home and married a wife.

It doesn't matter that the girl from the Liu family is weak and sick, after all, following A-gan doesn't need to go to the fields to farm, she just needs to take care of his basic necessities, but the girl from the Liu family is so sick that she is about to die!

He actually wanted to use A-gan to celebrate, and made A-gan go on a hunger strike and get sick, no way!This marriage must be called off.

"You came here for the marriage. Grandma Agan has suffered. Don't worry. If you don't like this marriage, you will leave. If the Liu family insists on it and affects your reputation, let Akun marry you for you." Liu family girl!"

Wen Qian didn't expect the old lady to be so excited and to care so much about the precious grandson of the original owner.

She was only a second late in answering, and the old lady came up with a replacement.This sudden change in style is amazing!

"Grandma, I'm fine. I don't have any objections to this marriage, you and I will..."

The old lady interrupted what Wen Qian hadn't finished, and shouted angrily: "Agan, don't mention your stepmother, she is just uneasy and kind, otherwise, if something happens to you, how dare she hide me, an old woman, in the dark? inside."

Wen Qian shook her head, with a hint of obedience on her face: "Grandma, you misunderstood. The queen...mother is also worried about your health, and besides, this marriage was arranged for me when my father was alive, and she doesn't want to pollute my father." Qing name and the reputation of the Wen family."

When Mrs. Wen heard this, the creases on her face were ripped apart a lot: "Agan, you are the only one with a kind heart! Think of the best of others, and I don't know if some people will accept your favor or not!"

After hearing what the old lady said, Wen Qian was speechless for a moment.

At this awkward moment, Wen Kun's voice came from afar.

"Grandma, of course we appreciate it. We all know that elder brother is a kind and grateful person, and he will definitely win the exam this year. It's just grandma, can you let my mother get up first?"

Wen Qian followed the voice and found that Jiang Shi was kneeling upright in the corner of the yard. Because of her gaze, Jiang Shi straightened her back and looked straight ahead, with a clear conscience.

And Jiang Kun also knelt beside Mrs. Jiang, stretched out his head and looked at this side, with a simple and flattering smile on his handsome face.

Wen Qian was taken aback by this scene. Because of this, Jiang was punished by the old lady to kneel down?As Jiang Kun is the son of man, his mother is kneeling, so he naturally has to accompany her.

Seeing this, Wen Qian immediately remembered that this was ancient times, and the word "filial piety" was too big, so would she also kneel?

At the moment of hesitation, Mrs. Wen grabbed Wen Qian's arm, but her eyes fell sharply on Mrs. Jiang, but she was speaking to Wen Kun.

"Akun, help your mother up, don't say that I, a grandma, bullied your mother, it's her fault, knowing that Agan is sick but hiding it from me, this is a mistake!"

After Mrs. Wen finished speaking, she turned to look at Wen Qian again, and said affectionately, "Agan, are you really satisfied with this marriage? If you don't want to marry..."

Wen Qian denied it with a smile on her eyebrows: "Grandma, this marriage was arranged when Dad was still alive, of course I am satisfied. As for the hunger strike, you misunderstood it. I am just not feeling well and slept for a long time."
