peasant girl wedding

205 The Return
"What? Gone?"

Liu Chen almost jumped.

"Yes, young master, when I was looking for it, the servants of the Zhou Mansion said that they had already left."

"Then did you ask, when will they come back?"

The servant shook his head, "The servants of Zhou Mansion said that they don't know either."

Liu Chen fell silent.

"...Master."

"Go to Qingzhou and find out the news about everyone in the Tong family."

"Don't go—"

The woman's angry voice came from the door, and the boy's face turned pale.

Madam Qingyan looked at Liu Chen, and said to the boy: "Not going down yet."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Mother, I..."

"Chen'er, you were born by me. What kind of temperament do you have? I, a mother, don't know yet? You have never been interested in anyone, but this time it is abnormal."

"Mother, I know that you love me, and I will not hide it from you. I want to marry Miss Tong."

"No."

What Mrs. Qingyan said was categorical.

Liu Chen pursed his lips.

Probably because she realized that her tone was too strong, Mrs. Qingyan persuaded him: "Since ancient times, I have been looking for a right family. Although our family is not a meritorious family, but your father is an official in the court. You marry a Wouldn't it make people laugh at your father if a farmer's daughter is his wife? What's more, she is not right with our family."

Liu Chen retorted: "Although the Tong girl is the daughter of a farmer, she is also the emperor's personal enshrinement, and she is famous all over the world."

Mrs. Qingyan was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Liu Chen cared so much about Tong Zhi'er, and found out about her clearly.

"Even if she is a Xiangjun, she was born in a peasant family, which is not the same as our family. Don't think about it."

Mrs. Qingyan said indisputably.

"Mother, you, do you love your son?"

"Silly boy, I only say this because I love you. Think about the face of your parents, and then think about your own future. Maybe you are fascinated by her for a while now, but in the future, when you face other people's ridicule and Ridicule, you can really calm down and don't mind at all?"

"Mother, I only care about her, not her family background."

Liu Chen replied solemnly.

"You..." Mrs. Qingyan suppressed the anger in her heart, and continued in a good voice: "Mother knows that at your age, there is no one in the room who knows what is cold and what is hot, and it is easy to think wildly. Don't worry, wait for mother. Once the arrangements are made, bring them to your house."

"Mom, I don't want a roommate."

Liu Chen stood up and refused.

Madam Qingyan frowned, "Then what do you want?"

"Mother, go to Qingzhou to hire the Tong family."

"Bullshit!"

Liu Chen stopped talking.

The mother and son twisted together, and there was a moment of silence in the room.

Liu Chen broke the silence and said, "Mother, did I accept your arrangement, and you go to Tong's house in Qingzhou to make a decision."

"Chen'er, why are you still obsessed with it? My arrangement will not change, whether you accept it or not, don't even think about the Tong family's marriage."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Qingyan left in a huff. When passing by the yard, she scolded everyone in the yard along the way.

"Ugh………"

Back in her own room, Madam Qingyan rubbed the center of her brows and let out a long sigh.

"Ma'am, don't worry about it. The young master is just a child at heart. After a few days, when there is someone in his room, he will forget about it." The maid comforted her.

"I hope... Tell me, why did Chen'er see her?"

"Ma'am, no one thought of that."

"Stop talking, you go down, let me have a good quiet time."

Mrs. Qingyan's silence lasted an entire afternoon.

When Mr. Liu came back from get off work in the yamen, what he saw was her sad face.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"Master is back, why don't these girls call me?"

Mrs. Qingyan stood up with a smile, took off Mr. Liu's official mansion, hung it on the shelf, and then took out a home robe and put it on for him.

"Did that kid make you angry again?"

Madam Qingyan shook her head, "If it was as usual, I wouldn't be so worried."

Master Liu sat down beside her.

Mrs. Qingyan said: "Yesterday, when Chen'er saw a girl from the Tong's family, she fell in love with her. Today, she insists that I go to the Tong's house to talk about marriage."

"Tong's family?" Master Liu asked in confusion.

"It's the Tong's family from Qingzhou, that is, the family of Tong Zhi'er who was proclaimed the Lord of the Town by the emperor. His family's third daughter, Tong Zhu'er, is my apprentice."

Master Liu also frowned, "It's not the right family."

Mrs. Qingyan nodded, "I thought so too, but He Chen'er was very persistent, and I was wondering how to dispel this idea for him."

Master Liu thought for a while and said, "I have a way."

Madam Qingyan looked at him happily.

"A peasant girl can't be Chen'er's main wife, but she can be a concubine."

"Master, this is absolutely impossible."

Mrs. Qingyan is a hurried girl.

Master Liu was even more surprised, "Why not? Even though she is a village lord, she can be a concubine of an official family with her status as a peasant girl, but she is flattering her."

"Master, it's because you haven't seen this Tong Zhi'er. If you had seen her, you wouldn't say that. Her speech, words, and actions are all very measured, and she doesn't look like a peasant girl at all. In our circle, I dare say that there are not many girls who can compare to her. If it wasn't because she came from a peasant family, it would be no problem to marry into a meritorious family."

Master Liu was surprised.

"This Tong Zhi'er is really strange."

Mrs. Qingyan smiled and said: "Not only is she strange, she is also very smart. A smart, polite, and knowledgeable woman will not be a concubine for others. Moreover, I am her sister's master, and I don't want to humiliate her because of this." .Master, since our family can't marry her as Chen'er's main wife, don't say anything else."

Master Liu nodded, "Everything is according to Madam's wishes."

After saying one thing, Mrs. Qingyan continued: "Chen'er is fifteen now, and it doesn't look like there is no one in the room. Master, I wonder if it's time to add someone to his room?"

"It's fine for Madam to decide."

Madam Qingyan smiled, and called the maid in to give instructions.

.........

"Queen, the Tong family has left the capital."

Su Yi said to the empress dowager sitting on the couch.

"Well, let's withdraw everyone."

"Queen Mother, don't you need to keep an eye on the Tong family?"

The queen mother glanced at her, "It's been fine for several days. The Tong family obviously didn't know about it. They came to the capital from a long distance to save their husbands."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager."

"By the way, how is Xinglin Dong's family going?"

"Queen Mother, people over there have sent news that the second master of the Dong family has been running to the west recently, and the name is said to be buying medicinal materials."

"Purchasing medicinal materials?" The queen mother sneered, stood up, and said angrily, "The King of Shu is in the west now, and he is rushing to join him. The Dong family, that's great... Su Yi, let people keep watching, Aijia wants to know all the news, everything big and small."

"Yes.'

.........

When they came, they came by water, but when they went back, Tong Zhi'er and others still took the boat.

But this time, Fang Cuiwei and the others felt much calmer.

Zhou Yunniang and Tong Zhi'er stood on the deck, and the wind blowing in front of them made their hair very messy.

Zhou Yunniang sighed, and said worriedly: "My father doesn't know where he is now..."

Sansha City.

This was the second city that Li Wei captured after Luzhou City.

The city was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the tragedy was even more heinous than that of Luzhou City.

"Father, Uncle, Zhaoyin, you should drink this medicine soon."

In an ordinary residential house, Dong Ping came in holding three bowls of dark medicine.

Without saying a word, Tong Zhixin and others took his medicine bowl and drank it up.

"...I feel itchy all over my body, Ah Ping, what kind of medicine is this?"

Dong Ping disposed of the bowl, and said with a smile: "This is the medicine I have been looking for for so long. After drinking it, it will make people itchy all over the body. On the second day, there will be herpes. On the third day, it will be There will be festers."

"what?"

"Father, we have to get rid of the murderous Li Wei. Only in this way can we get out. Don't worry, I have a way to cure you later."

Tong Zhixin and the others nodded.

"Ping, there are only four of us, isn't the goal too big?"

Fang Dalin said worriedly.
