Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 29 Changing Fate (1)
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Let's go back to what happened in the East Court before.

Sitting in the center of the main hall, Mrs. Shen waited for her son and friends to look at them as soon as they entered the door.

The older one should be Song Wenting, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features are well-rounded. Although he is not very handsome, he has a generous and calm elegance in his gestures.

He was wearing a brand-new lake-blue three-shuttle robe, looking energetic.

The young man next to him was wearing a half-worn robe, a pale emerald color, with white edges rolled around the neckline and cuffs. He was originally fair-skinned and handsome, with a faint brilliance like uncut jade.Even though the clothes are simple and half-worn, she has a poetic and bookish spirit in her belly, which cannot be concealed, handsome and elegant.

Shen's heart suddenly moved, it was far away in the sky, but close in front of her eyes, why not betroth the youngest daughter to this young man?I heard that she is a scholar like Song Wenting, and she is handsome and gentle. If she stands side by side with her youngest daughter, she will be like a golden boy and a jade girl.

Find an opportunity to ask to see if there is any engagement in the young man's family.

Hmm... I can't ask right away, it seems like I'm in a hurry to marry my daughter, and I'm rushing to get married in pairs, but I lost the value of the two daughters.It's better to wait for Song Wenting to make an appointment. He is the future son-in-law, and it will be more logical to inquire about the news from him.

"Mother." Shao Jingye said the scene with a smile, pointed to the two of them respectively, and introduced: "These are my two friends, Song Wenting and Lu Jian, and they are our guests for the first time today. I am here to greet you." .”

"Hello, Aunt Shen." Both Song Wenting and Lu Jian made a salute.

"Okay." Mrs. Chen nodded with a smile, and after saying hello, she talked to Song Wenting specifically, asking about some short family stories, "How is your mother? I heard that your father left early and your mother was alone. It is very hard to think about pulling you up alone."

"Yes." Song Wenting answered in detail one by one.

Seeing that he was generous in speech, gentle and polite, with a bit of upright integrity, and a tall man, Shen was a little satisfied.Then look at his free and easy speech without being presumptuous, polite and restrained, his face is full of respect and respect for his elders, it is naturally because of Song's mother's strict teaching.If the mother-in-law is upright, as long as the daughter-in-law behaves according to the rules, she will not make mistakes, so she adds three points of satisfaction.

In the end, I heard Song Wenting talk about learning, talking about next year's autumn, and he talked freely and in high spirits, just like the roc in the clouds fluttering its wings, waiting for the east wind to soar up the clouds.

Shen nodded slightly and gave Song Wenting a full ten.

As for the poverty of the Song family, it was not a flaw at all in her eyes, and she was used to the poor life of the past ten years or so.Now that Shao's family has money, they can just help their son-in-law a little bit, so that he doesn't have to run around for a living, and can concentrate on his studies in order to achieve success in the future.

It's just that it's inconvenient to say more right now, and he said with a smile: "If you young people can talk together, I won't delay."

A few days later, the Song family sent an aunt to visit the girl.

After returning home, she said to Song's mother with full satisfaction: "The elder sister is dignified, the younger sister is lively, both young ladies are beautiful, and Mrs. Shen seems to be a reasonable person, and she has no temper of disliking the poor and loving the rich."

Song Wenting hastened to help, "Mrs. Shen lived in Xianzhi Town for more than ten years, and her life was hard. In addition, Master Shao is not around, so she is the same as your mother."

Song's mother laughed "chih", "I understand, I understand."

I have met Shao Jingye himself, he is handsome, bright, talented, and he is also a sharp person who can speak well.My aunt has a good temper and never exaggerates her words. It seems that her future daughter-in-law is indeed very handsome, which makes her usually prudent son very anxious, wishing to marry Miss Shao right away.

Song Wenting blushed and coughed dryly.

The aunt laughed and said: "I can't blame Da Lang for being eager for this marriage. Those two young ladies are really outstanding, just like the concubines and fairies in the painting. I couldn't help but look at them a few more times." The word "shoes" came out, "These are the shoes made by Miss Shao herself, and they are for you to wear."

Mother Song took a closer look, "Sure enough, she is good at needlework."

So both sides are satisfied and happy, and Minghui's marriage is settled in just a few days.

Because the current situation is too urgent, first of all, we have to prevent Shao Tongyun's scandal, second, we have to deal with the folk girl draft in March, and third, we have Xianhui's marriage to be arranged later, of course, we must get engaged early good.Shen tactfully talked about the draft, saying that it was a long night and dreamy, and hoped that the marriage could be arranged as soon as possible.

The Song family originally thought that the woman's family would take Joe as usual, but they couldn't make up their minds without waiting for a few months. After hearing this, they were glad they got a good deal and agreed without further ado.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the Song family sent Mrs. Quanfu over to give the dowry.

Although the Song family's family background is quite poor, but marrying a daughter-in-law and a young lady from a wealthy family like the Shao family, Song's mother was afraid that she would be said to be taking advantage of others and eating soft food, and she would not be able to support herself in the future, so she borrowed money from relatives to raise 600 yuan. Two silver coins, and the betrothal gift should be as decent as possible.

To be more realistic, the relatives of the Song family saw that Song Wenting was going to marry the daughter of the Shao family, and knew that it was to marry a golden mountain, so they were very happy to borrow money, and some were afraid that they would not be able to keep up with the favor they owed.

Early this morning, the east courtyard of the Shao family was bustling with activity.

Ming Hui blushed and hid in the room, refusing to see anyone.

Xianhui was full of joy for her sister, and said with a smile: "Why are you ashamed? Didn't you meet my brother-in-law last time and thought he was nice? Well, I can't marry my sister so easily, and I'll make it hard for him when I look back."

Minghui spat: "Bah! I've never seen anyone with a thicker skin than you."

The two sisters were chatting and joking when they suddenly heard a commotion from the back room, as well as exclamations from people, as if people were coming and going to clear up some trouble.

A little girl ran in in a panic and said, "It's not good, the back room is on fire..."

"Fire?!" Ming Hui was stunned for a moment, unable to take care of her shyness, "Shouldn't the Song family's betrothal gift be placed in the back room? Could it be..." Her voice brought out tears, "Could the betrothal gift be kept in the back room? Is it burned?"

Don't talk about losses, just talk about the day of great joy, how unlucky it is for such a thing to happen!
"Sister, don't worry." Xianhui got up immediately, "I'll take a look for you." She sat down to appease her, "It's not suitable for you to see people today, just wait in the room, it should be fine, I'll go Come back soon."

Minghui nodded repeatedly, and urged: "Go quickly."

Xianhui led the girl over there, there were people coming and going on the road, the girls and servants were all busy carrying water, and the ground was dripping wet.Walking back through the Chaoshou verandah, there is already a faint smell of smoke wafting over. After getting down the corridor, and then passing through the unoccupied ear room, you can see that the yard of the back room is full of smoke and has become a mess.

A servant woman came over and shouted back amidst the noise: "Second Miss, it's all right! The fire is almost extinguished, it's a mess here, you should go back quickly."

Xianhui said loudly: "Is the Song family's dowry burning?"

"It burns a little, not much."

Xianhui stomped her feet, and looked anxiously in the smoke and fire. She looked too messy, and didn't dare to step forward to take a closer look. Thinking that she couldn't help, she had no choice but to turn around and leave.Walking all the way, thinking all the way, how will I tell my sister about this later?Really, why is it so bad.

Wait, it seems that there was no such trouble in the previous life.

Could it be...the mother and daughter of the Rong family deliberately set the fire on purpose to add bad luck to the East Hospital?I felt uneasy in my heart, I was too worried about my sister just now, so I didn't think too much about it, it's better to go back quickly now.Shao Tongyun's marriage has not yet been set, what if they feel resentful in their hearts and do something to their sister?Hard to say!

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person standing on the rockery opposite the flower window in the thin smoke.Taking a closer look, it was not someone else but Shao Jingyu. He gritted his teeth and held a bowl of hot soup with a cloth in his hand?It's not like soup.

Xianhui was vigilant, and instinctively felt that there was danger and wanted to retreat.

Shao Jingyu suddenly shouted, "Damn girl! Let the young master feed you a bowl of hot oil!"

He was holding the sea bowl backwards, ready to splash forward!
Xianhui looked like she was about to get out of the way, but before she could take a step, she heard a low-pitched male voice shouting: "Who is it? Where are you sneaking around? Come down for me!!"

"Ah!" Shao Jingyu shivered in fright, stepped on the ground, and with a "plop", he immediately fell down with a bowl of hot oil!The bowl shattered all over the floor, and hot oil spilled all over him!
He screamed like killing a pig, "Ah! Ahh...my hand..."

Gao Chen? !Xianhui was stunned, why did he appear in the backyard of the Shao family?He hurriedly raised his skirt and walked to the edge of the flower window, and looked opposite, the young man in the sea-blue python-pattern robe, with slightly raised sword eyebrows and cold eyes, had a kind of majesty that strangers could not get close to, and it was really him.

Shao Jingyu was lying under the rockery and weeping bitterly, holding up one hand, scalded by the hot oil into a string of blisters, rolling around on the ground, screaming continuously.

Gao Chen stood beside him with a gloomy face, and ordered Chu Qi, "Go to a doctor who specializes in hot oil burns." He looked through the flower window, "Who is over there? Hurry up and get cold water."

Xianhui was a little afraid of him, and immediately called a servant woman who was carrying water to put out the fire, "Come with me." Then she led the past, refused to approach Shao Jingyu, but stood far away, and told the servant woman, "Quickly take Jingyu's hand Put it in cold water."

Shao Jingyu cried so much tears and snot that he rolled around on the ground.

The servant woman stepped forward and quickly grabbed his hand and put it in a bucket of cold water.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts..." Shao Jingyu screamed miserably, "It hurts me to death."

Xianhui just watched quietly, without the slightest hint of pity in her clear eyes.

No wonder the backyard suddenly caught fire and deliberately burned my sister's dowry.They knew that it was inconvenient for their sister to go out, and they knew that they would be worried about coming over, so Shao Jingyu poured himself a bowl of hot oil!The face of the daughter's family is so precious, if it is disfigured, isn't it ruined for a lifetime?They want to ruin their whole life!

——how vicious? !

He deserved it when he fell from the rockery and was scalded by the hot oil. This is called self-suffering!You deserve it!

Shao Jingyu cried loudly with red eyes and scolded Xianhui, "It's you, you... who killed my sister! I want to avenge my sister! Wait, I won't just be like this... ah..." It hurts so much Panting heavily, "I won't let you go! You, you wait for me!"

Gao Chen looked at it coldly, how come the Rong family and her children are all of the same virtue?It is clear that they are the ones who harm others, but instead of harming others, they harm themselves, and then they still have to blame others, it's really ridiculous!
Xian Hui said coolly, "Save your energy."

Gao Chen couldn't help but take another look at her, just now the flower window was backlit, and a small part was covered by the rockery, he thought it was two girls on the opposite side, but never thought it was her.She was almost disfigured by Shao Jingyu's use of hot oil, she was not frightened or frightened, and then she was slandered by Shao Jingyu indiscriminately.

There is a kind of elegant and quiet charm.

At her age and as a woman, it is rare to be able to be so calm.

However, Xianhui can be calm and calm, but Rong can't.After a while, she rushed over with a face full of shock, looked around, and rushed straight to her beloved son. "Jing Yu!" Stepping forward to take a look, he immediately yelled in distress, "Who is it?! Who hurt your hand like this?"

Shao Jingyu burst into tears, "Mother, mother...my hands hurt so much, and my legs..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The Rong family coaxed: "Mother is here." Turning her head and looking at Xian Hui fiercely, "Is that you? You must have done something to Jing Yu! You... you Viper without a conscience!"

Xian Hui sneered and said, "Ask Jing Yu, who harmed him today?"

Shao Jingyu just couldn't stop crying.

Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Do you still need to ask? Besides you, who else?"

"Mrs. Rong." Gao Chen's expression was stern, his eyes piercing like a sword of ice, "It's none of Miss Shao's business. She was standing opposite the flower window at that time, and Jing Yu fell from the rockery with hot oil by herself. Yes." In the calm words, there was an unquestionable majesty of the superior, "...I saw it with my own eyes."

Xianhui's eyes were startled, Gao Chen actually opened his mouth to defend himself?Maybe...he just has a cold face and a warm heart.

Can't help but take a look quietly.

Objectively speaking, he is indeed an extremely handsome man.

He probably went out for a stroll today, wearing a royal blue satin gown with a plain surface, a brocade and wool cloak on the outside, and a white jade ring around his waist, elegant yet elegant.He was tall and tall and stood quietly, with a pair of bright phoenix eyes shining with cold light, and he was born with a heroic spirit, as if he had just come from a thousand troops with a sword in hand.

Even without words, the majesty and momentum on his body cannot be concealed.

Rong turned her head to look at Gao Chen, and was so surprised that she was too frightened to speak anymore.

Only Shao Jingyu was crying with tears in his eyes, he didn't care about anything, he was still twisting and crying in pain and hatred, "Mother, mother...you go and tell dad that it was Xianhui who bullied my sister and hurt me...let me Daddy kick them out." Twitch cried for a while, then cursed, "That's right! Drive them back to Xianzhi Town!"

Xian Hui was annoyed, but she didn't want to quarrel with a half-grown child.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" From behind the rockery, a beautiful young woman in well-maintained Chinese clothes came out, wearing a tall Yaotai Wangxian bun, gold hairpins and emerald jade, and a bowl-sized peony silk flower on her temples.Although the appearance is only good-looking, but the temperament is more luxurious and refined than others, coupled with the elegant movements, surrounded by a group of servants and maids, the star Gongyue, the momentum is really superior to others.

Gao Chen turned his head, his eyes faintly impatient.

The elder sister who got up early said that she wanted to go out for a stroll. My mother felt that there were so many people in the first month, the streets were not safe, and it was not good to send too many palace guards to disturb the people, so as not to block the crowded roads.So, let yourself go out with it.

Originally being patient, she accompanied her sister to visit silk and satin shops, jewelry stores, silk and satin shops, several famous dim sum shops, and even bought rouge and gouache with her.After finally getting through it until she was satisfied, she was tired from shopping and said she wanted to go back, but happened to see smoke rising from the backyard of Shao's house.

There was a clear road, and my sister had to take a detour to come over to watch the excitement.

If not, how could he run to Shao's backyard?It also happened to run into Shao Jingyu's sneaking, and now it's getting more and more endless. I'm afraid that when Shao Yuanheng and others arrive, they will have to repeat it a few more times.

"Elder Sister." He suppressed his displeasure, "This place is chaotic, you and Second Miss Shao go to the inner courtyard to talk."

Princess Wuyang stretched out a finger and shook it, "No hurry." Looking at Shao Jingyu, "It's not just the fourth who saw you, I saw it too." Pointing to the entourage behind him, "They all saw you too. gone."

Shao Jingyu was so angry that he choked, and his hand hurt so badly that he couldn't argue with it and had to continue crying.

"Tut tsk." Princess Wuyang's lips curled up, her voice was clear and crisp, "You're a man too, why are you crying? You don't admit what you've done wrong, and you still want to make false accusations of others, and you'll cry when they expose you." A sneer, "Still talking nonsense, what to say..."

It happened that Shao Yuanheng and Shao Jingye rushed over after hearing the news.

Today is the day when the Song family gave Minghui a dowry, Shao Yuanheng would of course come over, he was chatting lively with the Song family just now, and it was the inner hall again, so he didn't know about the fire in the back room.The girl jumped outside several times, then rushed in bravely and reported the news, and the father and son came in a hurry.

On the big day, it is inconvenient to say anything, and Mrs. Shen and Grandma Shao had to stay in front to accompany the guests.

"You guys came just in time." Princess Wuyang said with a slow smile, "Jing Yu said just now that Master Shao wants you to drive Xianhui and the others back to Xianzhi Town." Her voice was sarcasm, "What a good tutor, what a good teacher." Family style, no wonder I became relatives with my sister-in-law, it's all from family background."

Rong's complexion changed drastically, what didn't he understand in his heart?Princess Wuyang doubted herself and Tong Yun, and came to fight for the big county king.hateful!Their own daughter was ruined in vain by them, and the king of the great county began to abandon her in chaos. They didn't think it was miserable enough, so they wanted to come over and step on her again!
But they are too powerful to quarrel.
