At night, Zizhen thought about her sister-in-law's exquisite brocade clothes, the golden hairpin on her head, and the thumb-width gold bracelet on her hand, and couldn't help but dream about what kind of person she could find in the future.
Since the official engagement in Yuxiu, Mrs. Yang has spread the word that she wants to find a bride for Zizhen, and many people have come forward to make proposals. After all, she has a scholar father and her own conditions are not bad, but most of the proposals are from nearby villages. Wealthy farmers and those doing small business in the town.
In the past, if she could find a small businessman in the town like her eldest aunt, or find a scholar like her father, she would have been very satisfied, but now compared with her aunt, she is far behind. Could it be that she also Do you want to be like your second aunt, who is not welcomed even if you return to your parents' home? I am no worse than my sister-in-law, so why don't there be good people to propose marriage?
Looking at her face as white and tender as a hibiscus in the mirror, Zizhen sighed: I'd better tell my mother to wait until my father wins the lottery next year before we get married. By then, the threshold will be high, and maybe we can talk like a little sister-in-law. Even a better family than my aunt's family.
Zizhen paid attention and had a secret talk with Yang. Although Yang was worried that if her husband and brother-in-law failed next year, her daughter would become a joke like Yuxiu, but in the end she was not willing to accept it. Those who came in advance It was really not even as good as a finger from the Zhu family. Mrs. Yang was not willing to accept that her daughter would always be a dwarf, so she finally decided to take a gamble! Everyone in the Li family seemed to have a clear mind, and even Li Dazhi did not care about this matter.
This year's winter seems to have come very late. In late November, it has not started snowing yet. The Li family had made preparations for cat winter early. Since Mrs. Liu had three little ones and money on her hands, she decided to Not wanting to wrong the children anymore, I prepared a lot of food, even cut some meat on the sly, and bought a lot of polished rice. Plus there was some from my parents' side, it was more than enough for a whole winter.
At noon that day, there was a rare north wind blowing, and the sun shone warmly on her body. Yuezhen, her brothers who were on vacation, and their three children played in the backyard.
"Juro, come, come to sister," Yuezhen opened her arms and looked at Juro and shouted. When Juro heard the sound, he jumped into Yuezhen's arms. Now the three little ones can walk very steadily. , with pigtails that reach the sky, he looks so cute.
"Sister, sister, egg, egg." Shiro opened his bulging eyes and looked at Yuezhen. Eleventh Lang also pulled Twelfth Lang, who didn't like to move, towards Yuezhen. The three dolls Yuezhen held Yuezhen's hand. Jane fell to the ground, and she also fell to the ground without fear and laughed "hehehe".
"My younger brother is so annoying. He falls down all the time and wants to compete with me for Yue Yue!" Qi Lang has been very disliked by his three younger brothers recently. He feels that they are useless and steal Yue Zhen's attention. The three who can talk and walk can She is small, chubby and very cute. Yuezhen is so cute that she only teases her a few times every day, and then kisses and hugs her, which makes her heart itch.
"Huh, back then you were even more useless and not as cute as Yueyue. You were over a year old and you still couldn't call me mom or walk. We didn't dislike you either!" Shiro deliberately teased Qirou. The twins were also born prematurely, and Liu's The confinement period was not done well, and they soon ran out of milk. Qilang and Yuezhen were both small, and they didn’t learn to walk until they were almost two years old. They were not like the third child. With Yuezhen’s space blessing, they were born three months prematurely. , the body is also in better shape.
"Really? I didn't say I disliked it either!" Qilang said with a guilty conscience.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel.
"Who are you? How dare you come to my house to make trouble. My son is a scholar!" Mrs. Feng said as she looked at the group of men who walked in with fierce looks.
"Ah, bah, thank you, Mr. Scholar. I'm here today to ask who tutors this Mr. Scholar. He's a great scholar, but he actually made my widowed brother and sister pregnant. I'm here today to ask for justice." The big man in the lead.
Qiu Avenue.
"Are you looking for the wrong person? My son is a scholar. How could he do that kind of thing? Which one are you talking about?"
"Your son's name is Li Dazhi, right?" Qiu Da asked sarcastically.
Feng nodded involuntarily.
"Ha, you are still a scholar, but your mind is full of male thieves and female prostitutes!" another big man in black linen clothes cursed.
"What are you talking about? There is no way my husband-in-law would do such a thing!" Yang became angry after hearing this. She must have made a mistake. Perhaps the second brother, third brother, and fourth brother used the name of the husband-in-law to go to that person.
The widow is having sex, or maybe it's the fifth brother who can't tell. My husband-in-law is such an upright person, and I have always had a deep love for each other, so there is no way he would betray me for a widow.
"Hey, sister-in-law, you can't say for sure. Maybe our eldest brother has taken a liking to the little widow and wants to take a concubine!" Xiao Feng said happily.
"Why are you causing trouble? Why don't you shut up! My dear, where is your husband-in-law? Find him and let's confront him!" Ms. Feng would never believe that her family has been sensible, polite and studious since she was a child.
The eldest son will commit adultery with the widow.
"Mother, my husband went to visit friends early in the morning and he hasn't come back yet!"
"Oh, we are still friends. Love is like being a widow. But we caught that kid on the bed!" The short man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks looked at the female relatives in the room and said, "No wonder you want to be friends."
You seduced the little widow, and the mother-in-law in this family is not as tender as the little widow who was just twenty!"
"You!" Feng pointed at the short man and blushed angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense with them. How dare you mess with my younger siblings and make my damn brother a cuckold in the underworld. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let him go!" Qiu Da kicked the guy in front of him away.
A chair frightened the faces of the Feng family members even paler, and even the little Feng family, who had always been arrogant and domineering, hid behind the Feng family.
"Who are you? You dare to come to my house and cause trouble!" Li Sanzhi came in and saw a family of children, their faces were white with fright and their eyes were wide open. The Erlangs who were hiding in the yard ran out to find Old Man Li and Li Sanzhi when they saw something was wrong.
When people come back, Li Sanzhi does not believe that his eldest brother would do such a thing. In his heart, his eldest brother has always been the most well-behaved person. He has been smart and self-disciplined since he was a child. His family has high hopes for him. He is also a role model that Li Sanzhi admires. When he was a child,
Li Sanzhi was very envious when he saw his brother shaking his head while studying. He often hid aside and peeked. He was very impressed by his brother's ability to speak clearly, so he always respected Li Dazhi very much.
"Hey, Li Dazhi married a widow, and he didn't even find out which family it was from?" the short man laughed sarcastically.
"This is impossible. My eldest son has always followed the rules and there is no way he would do such a thing!" Old Man Li's already dark face turned even darker.
"That's it!" With the man in charge here, Feng became more courageous.
"Bah, if I hadn't found out about that human-looking thing, I would have come here to cause trouble, but I caught them on the spot and put them under the covers. That bastard was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy! You don't believe me.
, I will send that bitch to the yamen later, and sentence him to adultery, and he will be immersed in a pig cage directly. This can be regarded as satisfying their pair of wild mandarin ducks. This will also be worthy of my dead brother! Brothers, let's go
!" As he said that, Qiu Da was about to leave with a group of brothers, but was stopped by Old Man Li.
"That beast, wait a minute. I have to see someone before I can give you an explanation. Besides, maybe it was the widow who seduced my uncle, and you guys can work together to make a fairy dance!" Old Man Li knew what he was saying.
For my sake, the affair between my son and the widow must be true. If it goes to the Yamen, even if he is not thrown into a pig cage, his reputation will not be guaranteed. The imperial court will not allow people with a bad reputation to be officials. But
This matter of having an affair with the widow can be big or small, depending on the situation. If the other party just makes a cage and performs fairy dances, it is not a big deal. He has not seen such things in the past. But now
We can only stabilize them and clarify the matter.
"Look what my father-in-law said, can you make a doll out of this fairy dance? That widow is kicking the seed of your old Li family in her belly! How about I also show you those obscene poems and lyrics written by your son?
As expected of a scholar, the writing is wonderful!" The short man said with a smile and a wretched look on his face.
"Yes, do you want to take a look?" Qiu Da said, taking out a stack of letters from his arms: "This is to respect your family's reputation for farming and studying. Maybe this happened because the scholar was confused for a while, so I thought
I want to give you some face, and don’t make the matter too big, otherwise it will not look good on both sides. Now it seems that you have treated me as a soft persimmon, so I don’t have to be polite. Brothers, let’s go first
Go talk to this village and let people see clearly what this family is!"
"No, tell me, how do you want us to explain it!" After reading the letter, Old Man Li fell down on the chair behind him with a pale face. How could he recognize his son's handwriting, which he had always been proud of?
No wonder. After knowing that his son really had an affair with the widow and that they had been together for a short period of time, he only felt disappointed, sad, and powerless. But no matter what, his son could be saved. The reputation of the family must not be lost, otherwise it would be ruined.
Not to mention the boss, the fifth boss and the children of the next generation will have to be affected. After all, Old Man Li has been working outside for more than ten years, so he still has the ability to make decisions.
"We don't talk secretly. Now that things have happened, I admit that my brother has lost face. Who allowed him to die prematurely and leave behind my young and beautiful younger brother and sister! My younger brother and sister are also poor people.
, she became a widow before she was eighteen, and now she is about to be twenty, and she has no heirs in her husband's family. I have nothing to say about this. Now that she has a deep friendship with the eldest son of your family, she is pregnant with an heir.
, I don’t want to be a bad person, so I just fulfilled them, which is a good story! However, my Qiu family also values reputation. When this happened, my face was indeed tarnished. These brothers of mine followed me back and forth.
You have to have money for carriages and drinks, so I won’t say anything like this, just five hundred taels, and that’s it! It’s just a sister-in-law who loves her husband and takes the initiative to have a house with her husband and a concubine.
!" Qiu Da Dao.
"You're not talking like a lion, five hundred taels, where are we going to get five hundred taels!" Feng jumped on the spot.
"I don't agree. Taking a concubine is a nice idea, but he is just a bitch who goes around seducing people. He also wants to enter our old Li family? Now that we have children and a daughter, why take a concubine? Dad, you must not do it. Agreed!" Mrs. Yang rushed over and knelt down on the ground, grabbing Old Man Li's clothes and said. She was already furious, but when she heard that he was going to be admitted, her mouth was trembling with anger.
Qiu Da sneered and ignored him. He found a chair and sat down leisurely.
