Chapter 62：

The so-called good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, but there are gossips from other people's homes that spread faster than bad things.

It was not night after the small court meeting, General He's last words and Yanghou Jizun's remarks spread throughout the capital, Cheng Yong in the Imperial Academy, Cheng Song in the Huben Camp , Cheng Shaogong, who was studying at the master's family in the city, was filled with right and wrong and returned.

Before the curfew, Lou Yao's attendants came panting and sent a letter to Shao Shang, saying that his young son was detained by Lou Tai servant, but he would escape tomorrow anyway. her.

Cheng Shi's expression turned slightly, and he said: "Ayao still has some conscience, and he still thinks he is eager to marry that An Chengjun!"

!"

Mrs. Xiao was also unhappy, and with a cold face, she would go back to the house with her husband to rest.

Cheng Yong hurriedly stopped: "Father, mother, let's discuss this matter, and you come too..."

They are definitely unwilling, but their meanings are irrelevant. Mrs. Lou is definitely willing, but she can only play side drums. Lou Tai servant and Lou Juncheng are half willing and half unwilling. How many criticisms are there, and how many benefits are obtained. Mom, am I right?"

Mrs. Xiao looked calm: "That's right."

Cheng Yong was stunned, and Cheng Shi sighed. If something like this happens to someone else's little girl, it's too late for her parents, brothers and sisters to comfort her; only her own daughter doesn't cry secretly. It's impossible to complain and sigh.

"Curly, if this doesn't work out, don't be too sad..."

Shao Shang said: "Father doesn't need to say it, I understand the truth. Not to mention Lou's family, even our own family, my father can't use the family's future to blog about my marriage, I will be the first one. I won't say yes. There is nothing absolutely impossible in this world. But the situation is unclear now, so wait and see."

Listening to her daughter's sincerity, Cheng Shi sighed again, Cheng Yong looked at the younger sister's expression, and asked softly, "Curly, since you know everything, why are you still angry?"

Shao Shang felt that there was a stuffy flame burning his heart and lungs in his chest, and his anger was uncontrollable. This anger is not aimed at the Hejialou family or even anyone, "...I'm not angry either. It's just that I had bad luck since I was a child, and I thought that if I was very happy now, my marriage would be smooth. Sure enough, God just wouldn't let it go. pass me!"

After saying this, the girl threw her wide sleeves and strode back to her courtyard. The father and son were left in the Jiuyu Hall and looked at each other, but Mrs. Xiao was looking at the direction of her daughter's departure, as if touched.

…

The next two days were a feast for the people eating melons in the capital. For a time, all the officials, eunuchs, Confucian scholars and celebrities in the city were discussing this matter. I always eat rice dumplings and drink soy milk to distinguish between sweet and salty parties, and this time is no exception.

One group of people thinks that the Lou Cheng family should quit their relationship and give the He family a good marriage to comfort General He's spirit in heaven; Cases cannot be opened, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

What’s more With the two families retreating and regretting their promises!

Some people also came to ask Father Cheng to grind their mouths, and Cheng Shi said about four or two thousand pounds: "It was Lou's family who came to propose marriage, and now it is the Lou's family who wants to withdraw from the marriage. Specialize."

It is commendable that Comrade Lao Wan refuted left and right in these two days, his mouth was flying, and he was unstoppable.

On this day, Xiuhou, who was befriended by General He, was talking in front of the imperial court, and Lao Wan, who was also present, made a pot of ginseng and rooster soup for him. , I had no choice but to sell a golden silk nanmu coffin, which was hard to exchange. Later, it was bought by your old man at a high price in a legitimate way. The old father of the Lin family wanted to get this coffin back, but your father also regarded it as his lifeblood. Now that the children and grandchildren of the Ruo Lin family have made some great contributions and even died, will your family allow this coffin? !

The meat really only hurts when it cuts itself, so Xiu Hou touched his nose and exited the North Palace.

The emperor sitting behind the imperial case looked at Wan Songbai, who was a fat belly, and sighed secretly.

How much he wanted to say, Wan Aiqing and your adopted brother really don't have to be so reluctant. After retiring from this relationship, I will give you a better husband - unfortunately I can't say. The emperor was very bored.

At this time, Mother Cheng finally found out about it. She was furious in the room, pulling on her son's front and shouting: "This parent is absolutely not allowed to retreat, where can I find such a good family in the future! Blind cat catches a dead mouse, it's rare to have this luck, and it will never be refunded unless the emperor issues an imperial decree! Those **** outside are itchy, and it's not that they are at a disadvantage!" She liked the brocade sent by the Lou family. Lacquerware and other valuables.

On the third day, the mansion finally came to invite the family members of the Cheng family to have a chat. Mrs. Xiao sneered: "Hmph, that's all about patience." This time she didn't bring anyone else, and only led Shao Shang and a group of government soldiers to Lou's house aggressively.

Although her heart was full of anger, Mrs. Xiao had been through the wind and waves. He didn't say anything, and after a while, the other party couldn't hold back his anger.

Mrs. Lou looked worried and said, "I really like young businessmen, but when such a thing happened, our Lou family really has nowhere to go..."

Mrs. Xiao heard something wrong, and simply said: "Dare to ask the madam, today you invited our mother and daughter to come over, does Mrs. Lou know or not?"

Mrs. Lou looked stiff and said with a smile: "Although this marriage was decided by my family and Cheng Xiaowei, but you and I are masters and daughters, and you want to..."

Mrs. Xiao was greatly disappointed, and immediately said: "It turns out that Mrs. Lou doesn't know." She just said, Mrs. Lou is shrewd and strong, how can she be so impatient, "Madam, it's the truth. When things have come to this point, it is not up to you and me to decide on our own. I also asked my wife to pass it on for you when it is inconvenient for me to speak directly. Since it is not, our mother and daughter will retire first..."

Mrs. Lou was in a hurry and said, "Hold on, I have something to say."

Mrs. Xiao stood up dignifiedly and smiled arrogantly: "I know what the eldest madam wants to say." She glanced at Shaoshang, thinking that even my teenage daughter could guess Why do I have to watch you play again, if you don't know what you are thinking, "It's nothing more than how pitiful and tragic General He is, and how lonely and helpless He's Zhaojun is. Our Cheng family should be benevolent and righteous, and give up the marriage and let the virtuous, right or not?"

After saying this, Mrs. Xiao stared at Mrs. Lou, and she saw that her face was pale for a while, which was very pleasing.

"...Is this wrong?" Mrs. Lou finally suppressed her displeasure and said loudly, "The family is full of loyalty, and people are almost dead. Don't you feel unbearable?" As she spoke, she still covered her face and cried, "The He Lou family have been friends for decades. I think about the heroic appearance of General He and the young and capable sons of the He family, but I didn't expect them to disappear overnight! Zhaojun was so young. , maybe how bitter, our Lou family doesn't take care of her, who will..."

—"I want to take care of you, this time you don't want to harm my Ayao again!"

Mrs. Lou was crying into the play, but a familiar voice stabbed in like tearing the curtain. When everyone looked around, they saw Mrs. Lou Er was standing at the door of the inner hall with the help of the maid, panting slightly, her face flushed.

Mrs. Lou Er no longer had the innocent look she used to have. As she walked in, she excitedly said: "...I didn't like her when He Zhaojun was a child! Arrogant and arrogant, pity my Ayao Been bullied by her for so many years!"

Mrs. Lou glanced at the two mothers and daughters of the Cheng family and was very embarrassed: "What did the younger sister say! Now, Zhaojun is still young, so marry him and teach him slowly..."

"You have to teach yourself! Siwi is very skilled. I'm a useless bride who can't bear such a temper." Mrs. Lou Er started to cry like a child.

Shao Shang stood up silently, helped the sobbing Second Lady Lou to sit down, and then said to the First Lady Lou: "Madam, you still stand back, do you want the servants to hear it? ?"

Mrs. Lou blushed, and quickly asked the eldest daughter-in-law beside her to send out all the servants and maids around her, and at the same time ordered to retreat farther, and then continued: "Brother-in-law, I know You have never liked Zhaojun, so this time when Zhaojun gets married, I will teach you, you just have to enjoy happiness..."

"What kind of blessings?! If my Ayao is not happy, what kind of blessings can I enjoy!" Although Mrs. Lou Er was incompetent, her love for her son was earnest, "Ah Yao After Yao Zi and Shao negotiated their marriage, they are so happy every day, think about how happy he was when he and Zhaojun were together in the past!"

Marrying Zhaojun, whether it is to repay your kindness or to share the emperor's worries, it will be of great help!"

"Since it's so important, you can marry her as your own bride! Back then, when you were so eager to betroth Qilang, when I didn't know what you meant, you were actually reluctant to let your son suffer from He Zhaojun. Come to harm my Ayao..."

Mrs. Xiao sneered and was about to open her mouth when Shao Shang suddenly said, "Madam, have you heard the story of East Neighbor and West Lu?"

The four people in the house were stunned, and Shaoshang went on: "There are two families in the village, the east family is lucky, the family house is located in the upstream of the stream, and the west family is in the downstream. We need to divert water to open a canal, so the two families work together to open a canal. But every time the water is returned, the owner cuts off more than half of the water, leaving only a small amount for the west family. A few years later, the canal will be renovated, and the owner will again Come to the Western family to join forces, the Western family is not happy, and the owner is full of great truth and benevolence, is it wonderful!" Speaking of which, she smiled, "Have you heard of this story, madam?"

Mrs. Lou looked extremely ugly and said nothing.

Besides, Mrs. Lou Dashao thought for a while and understood, and lowered her head with a flushed face.

Mrs. Lou's chest heaving, her eyes sharp, and she said word by word, "Our family is blood relatives, regardless of each other. Miss Cheng, please don't provoke right and wrong, and divide siblings."

How can a little sister who is almost turned into a normal businessman be intimidated by this look, it is not as powerful as Director Xiao when she patted the table. She calmly said: "Madam's words are not good, the world has to have right and wrong before you can provoke. Also, I don't know whether others can distinguish each other, but Madam, you can clearly distinguish. Whatever is good and beautiful, go to yourself. The room was allocated, and what was bad was pushed to the second room. Back then, General He's kindness was not limited to Ayao's parents. Why, Mr. Lou remembered that he was the eldest son and the eldest son when he attacked the lord, but he didn't remember when he needed to do something. The eldest son of the long room?"

"You little bitch!" Mrs. Lou trembled in anger, her eyes were splitting, "You, you..."

Mrs. Lou Er and Mrs. Lou Da Shao were both stunned, the former forgot to cry, and the latter forgot to bow her head. Mrs. Xiao originally wanted to stop her daughter, but then she thought about it, or the marriage would fail, and she slapped and stared at her. If the marriage could still be successful, I think Mrs. Lou Er wouldn't care about her daughter's pungent temperament.

"Madam, you are the clan wife of the Lou clan, do you know what is the head of the family and the head of the clan, which means that you can't just take care of your own one-third of an acre of land and take care of seven aunts and eight aunts Thirteen uncles and brothers plus twenty-eight relatives and grandchildren!"

Shao Shang held back his anger for a few days, and decided to let it go, "It's good Madam, your children are treasure nephews and nieces are grass! Ah Yao is not happy, you should not take it seriously, However, you can enjoy the benefits in exchange for Ayao! I advise the eldest lady to close the door at home, suppress the outgoing ones, and the outgoing ones will show up, but the world outside is not around you alone. Yes. You can't have children from your family, so someone else will stand up in the courtroom!"

"How dare you humiliate me like this! Come, come..." Mrs. Lou's face turned into an eggplant, and she was about to call out loudly.

"Madam, I am here for your own good."

, then come up with something, don't just talk about it! Who can't talk about benevolence and righteousness, I can find 9981 for you when I walk around the market, and they all sing better than you! Shicai I am so impressed and moved by the little lady who spoke about He Jiaen, righteousness, bravery and bravery. In this way, your four sons, ask one of them to marry He Zhaojun after a divorce. Then you can take care of the orphans of the He family to the fullest. Also, keep the city of Mandu tomorrow praising you for your kindness and righteousness! How about it?"

Mrs. Lou was so angry that she almost spurted blood, she pointed at Shaoshang and trembled: "You, you..."

Lady Lou hurriedly stepped forward and stroked Jun Gu's back, rubbing her head while turning her head and said, "Miss Cheng, how can you be so rude and arrogant, aren't you afraid of spreading your bad name?"

"What did I say? I didn't say anything." Shao Shang changed his face again, sat straightening his sleeves, and said slowly, "If the eldest lady and the eldest lady go I don’t know anything about the nonsense outside, and I have to cry everywhere, saying that you two did this to force my family to break off the marriage. Madam, how many people would believe this?”

—This is a world without a tape recorder, and there are benefits to being backward in technology.

Mrs. Lou turned her head angrily and asked loudly, "Brother, you just watch this little **** humiliate me like this?"

Mrs. Lou Er opened her mouth wide, with tears on her face, and stammered: "Sifu...I, I'm not...this, what Shaoshang said is right..." She said more and more. Speak lower.

In recent years, the second room and the long room have occasionally disagreed, and it is her eldest son and the bride who goes out, so Mrs. Lou Er does not reject strong brides. She hates He Zhaojun more because her son Lou Yao has been suffering Oppression, if the two love each other like the eldest son and the couple, it's okay for the bride to be powerful. I was thinking about my own daughter-in-law when a voice suddenly came from outside—

"What the young merchant said, why didn't I hear anything? Yes, Ayao, good view."

After everyone was startled, they turned their heads and saw that the side door was moved away. There were three people standing among them, namely Mrs. Lou Er, Lou Yao, and Yuan Shen who was supporting Lou Yao - Mrs. Lou Er was as usual His brows were stern, but Lou Yao bent his left leg sideways, Yuan Shen supported Lou Yao with his arms and lowered his head sideways, his body trembling slightly.

The second young lady of Lou stepped forward, sat directly beside her mother-in-law, and said softly: "Jun Au, you made a mistake, Shicai Shaoshang didn't say anything, everyone was just chatting. ."

Second Mrs. Lou saw that the backer was coming, and she was so surprised that she was about to cry: "Yes, you are right, Shaoshang didn't say anything."

Yuan Shen saw the surprised eyes of the Cheng family's mother and daughter, and hurriedly said: "Second son Lou and I have been studying under Master Ouyang. In it, the Master ordered me to bring it to the mansion. It's...it's right..." He quickly glanced at Shao Shang, holding back his smile.

Because of the presence of an outsider like Yuan Shen, Mrs. Lou couldn't care less about the 'evil words' of Shicai and Xiaoshang, she could only hold back her anger and said: "It turns out that good views have come, sit down first. Down."

Shao Shang didn't care what Yuan Shen heard, anyway, she and him had 'bad words' confrontation in person, she noticed Lou Yao's limping appearance, and exclaimed: "They Your leg is broken!" Ma, she is going to find the place back!

Lou Yao sat down with difficulty, blushing: "No, no, yes... I went over the wall to meet you two days ago and fell down..."

"You will break your leg if you climb over the wall?!" Shaoshang cursed in her heart. Teach him well.

Everyone:…

Mrs. Lou Er was very happy about what Shicai Shaoshang said, and she couldn't say much about herself, but Mrs. Lou's hypocritical mask was torn by Mrs. Cheng today, especially that sentence 'If you can't get out of your family, someone else will stand up in the courtroom', it's really comfortable!

"I've been listening to my aunt talking about how pitiful the He family is at home these few days, why don't I ask my aunt to order her to take a break from a bride and make up for Zhaojun's sister? Anyway, General He's dying words were 'return to the building' Shi', I didn't specify that I must have Ayao." Mrs. Lou Er said sarcastically happily.

"You, are you also mad at me?!" Mrs. Lou shouted angrily, "I want to sue you for disobedience..."

The second young lady of Lou ignored: "You are not my aunt."

Mrs. Lou turned to her sister-in-law, grabbed her arm, and screamed, "Are you going to kill me?!"

Mrs. Lou Er was frightened and dizzy, and suddenly she had a flash of light, and said: "No, it's better... it's better to have flowers and buds, let Zhaojun and Shaoshang marry Ayao, no matter how big or small, sister Wouldn't it be very beautiful to be commensurate." After that, the son just ignored He Zhaojun.

Everyone in the hall was startled, Mrs. Lou's eyes flashed, and she was silent for a moment. Yuan Shen, who bowed her head to avoid the conversation, turned back, with an excited smile in her eyes .

"Ayao, Ayao, can you tell me..." Mrs. Lou hurriedly talked to her son, "How good General He was to you in the past, otherwise so many people inside and outside would not let it go. Go past our house!"

Lou Yao thought of General He, his heart softened, and he hesitated: "It's not impossible, but I can ignore her in the future..."

"What can I do?!" The young man slapped Lou Yao's injured leg hard, and said sharply, "If you dare to do this, I would rather marry someone else!"

"...Yes, yes, no matter what, I don't want to marry He Zhaojun! Absolutely not!" Lou Yao was a little confused, although he didn't know the reason, but his fiancee was always right, he I've gotten used to it all in favor.

Second Mrs. Lou saw that the young businessman was arrogant, and she also withered back, and said repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it, Ayao decided not to marry He Zhaojun!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao shook her head secretly and sighed.

"Ayao, tell me, do you want to quit your relationship with me!" Shaoshang asked Lou Yao's sleeve.

Lou Yao's blood boiled, and he said loudly: "Never quit!"

"Okay! As long as you don't contradict me, I will never back down!" Shaoshang stood up, stared at Mrs. Lou, and told her every word. Married or not is another matter, she will never swallow this breath!

Mrs. Lou clenched her sleeves tightly, unable to express her anger.

Seeing that she could no longer talk with Mrs. Lou, the second wife and daughter-in-law hurriedly invited Mrs. Xiao and her daughter to speak in their own courtyard. Shaoshang felt that he was holding his breath here and could not stay any longer, so he ordered Lou Yao took good care of his injuries, and then returned home first.
