The heavens begin from the golden years

Chapter 384 The Tragic Zhao Paner
In a daze, Zhao Paner seemed to have returned to the day when she sent Ouyang Xu to Beijing for the exam. It was rare to snow in Qiantang, but the snow scene on that day was particularly beautiful. In the heavy snow, on the bank of Qiantang Lake, Ouyang Xu held her hand and solemnly swore, eyes With tenderness and affection, he said affectionately:

"Pan'er, when I go to high school this time, I will definitely marry you in!"

On the occasion of parting, Ouyang Xu also gave her a piece of jade pendant to show that she is of one heart and one mind. This life will not change. The old vows are still in my ears, but now she is wearing a wedding dress. Ouyang Xu, who was wearing a groom's suit and a big red flower on his chest, was riding a tall horse. Right in front of him was a woman in wedding dress who couldn't see her face clearly. The two held hands with each other, smiling happily.

Zhao Paner sighed, straightened up suddenly, and found herself on the bed. Everything just now was just a nightmare. Beside her bed, Yuan Xudong was sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed, probably because it rained last night and I didn't close my eyes all night, and now I'm tired, so I guarded the unconscious Zhao Pan'er and fell asleep, still talking in a daze.

Three years of affectionate waiting was not as good as Yuan Xudong's one-sided encounter. Unknowingly, Zhao Pan'er burst into tears. She glanced at Yuan Xudong who was sleeping soundly, and then looked out the window. She vaguely heard Sun Sanniang and Uncle De talking. There was a dispute outside:

"Are you trying to kill Pan'er?"

"Master said Mrs. Zhao is smart, so she must understand what he has to do!"

"Shut up, even a virtuous concubine in the palace has no reason to officiate the marriage casually. Didn't she ask Ouyang Xu if he had a marriage contract before this?"

"I asked, but between the master and Mrs. Zhao, there is no order from the parents, and no words from the matchmaker. Tell me."

"You shut up!"

Seeing the unreasonable Uncle De, Sun Sanniang cursed angrily:

"You, Yinzhang, and the three of us all know about Pan'er and Ouyang Xu's engagement!"

"Hey, that's just a verbal agreement, without three documents and six certificates, how can it be called a marriage contract?"

"A verbal agreement is also an agreement!"

"What's more, Mrs. Zhao has a bad background after all!"

"Bah, it's good that you are born, what qualifications do you have to say that?"

"If no one pays attention, we can get by, but if Concubine Xian knows, the master rejected her niece because of a lowly, lowly girl."

"Who are you calling cheap?"

Looking at Uncle De, who couldn't speak well, Sun Sanniang said angrily:
"You are the real sluts. In the past three years, you have lived in Pan'er, lived in Pan'er, bought books, invited great scholars to give lectures, paid for Ouyang Xu to buy land in Qiantang and settle down, and even for you to go to Tokyo. Pan'er earned all the money for the exam, and you are so ungrateful now, if I hadn't looked at your age, I would have thrown you into the water!"

After saying that, she glanced at the sparkling Qiantang Lake, and Sun Sanniang was about to throw Uncle De into the water, cursing and saying:
"No, I'm going to throw you into the water now, I'll make your mouth dirty!"

"No, this will, this will kill people, don't, you, don't dare"

"Sanniang!"

Seeing that Sun Sanniang was about to push Uncle De into the water, Zhao Pan'er called her quickly, then carefully avoided Yuan Xudong who was sleeping soundly, got up from the bed, and walked into the courtyard with the railings of tables and chairs.

In the courtyard, Sun Sanniang hurriedly left Uncle De behind, ran to Zhao Pan'er and said with concern:

"Pan'er, you're awake, are you alright?"

Looking at Sun Sanniang who was worried about her face, Zhao Pan'er forced a smile and said:

"fine!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Pan'er looked at Uncle De again and said directly:

"Even if it is an official family, it will not condone foreign relatives seizing the wives of ministers. When I met him, he had already left his citizenship. I am a son of a good family!"

"Why does Mrs. Zhao do this?"

Looking at the stubborn Zhao Pan'er, Uncle De sighed:

"Who doesn't know that among scholars, farmers, businesses, and businesses, the word business ranks last. In the eyes of the nobles, as long as they are doing business, even if they are rich and powerful, they are still not in the top class!"

"Bah, I'm so unlucky, I regret my marriage and refuse to marry, with you, how can I still say it logically?"

Glancing at Uncle De, Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Pan'er, who was sitting on the steps of the door because of lack of energy, and said:
"Pan'er, we're going to sue the officials right now, the county venerable Mr. Zheng will definitely help you decide!"

Hearing Sun Sanniang urging Zhao Paner to sue the government, Uncle De quickly looked at the weak Zhao Paner and persuaded and threatened:
"Ms. Zhao, do you think this incident will be known to the whole world, do you think everyone knows that you are a bureaucrat?"

"do not talk!"

Looking at Uncle De who threatened her with words, Zhao Paner said sadly:
"You all know that I care about this most, don't you?"

Seeing that Uncle De didn't speak, Zhao Pan'er nodded slightly and agreed:

"Okay, I accept my fate!"

Seeing that Zhao Paner was willing to accept his fate, Uncle De heaved a sigh of relief, quickly took off the burden on his back, handed it to Zhao Paner and said with a smile:
"Miss Zhao, the master knows that he is sorry for you, so he can only use these 80 taels of gold to express his heart. The master should still have a jade pendant with you. See if you can return it."

Before Uncle De could finish speaking, Zhao Pan'er pushed aside the 80 taels of gold in front of her eyes, and the gold ingot fell to the ground. She casually picked up a gold ingot that fell at her feet and said with a miserable smile:

"When Ouyang lost his position in Hangzhou, I bought the land for him so that he could get his citizenship and take the exam again in Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces. He studied hard for three years, and I sold tea for him every day for three years. Unfortunately, three years later Years of affection can't compare to these 80 taels of gold, if you want to buy me with money, it's fine, but you tell him that 80 taels of gold is not enough, if you want to wear it with one heart, you can exchange it with 500 taels of gold!"

"Five, 500 taels?"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who opened the lion's mouth, Uncle De was surprised and said:

"This is too, too much!"

Looking at Uncle De, Zhao Paner resolutely said:
"As long as the money and goods are settled, I will break up with him and be strangers forever!"

Glancing at Zhao Pan'er, Uncle De hurriedly put away the gold ingots on the ground, then carried the burden on his back, cupped his hands and prepared to leave:
"Miss Zhao, take care!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang, and pulled back the gold ingot that Zhao Paner was holding in his hand, and then left the tea shop with a bag containing 80 taels of gold on his back. Zhao Pan'er's face was as pale as paper, and Sun Sanniang couldn't help worrying:
"Pan'er, I'll go and ask the doctor to take a look!"

"Okay, thank you Sanniang!"

Glancing at Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang was about to go to the street to ask the doctor to come and have a look. At this moment, looking at Sun Sanniang's leaving back, Zhao Pan'er whispered:
"San Niang, close the shop!"

"it is good!"

After Sun Sanniang left, Zhao Pan'er sat alone on the steps in front of the door, looking at the sparkling Qiantang Lake, the cool wind blowing, the sun shining on her face, making her face paler, she tried her best to hold her head up, Not letting the tears in her eyes flow out, she bit her lower lip hard with her white teeth, and refused to cry even if blood oozes out. At this moment, Yuan Xudong came out of the room, sat down beside her and said softly:

"I won. According to the agreement, you will be my wife!"

"you"

Zhao Pan'er looked at Yuan Xudong with a serious face, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At this time, instead of comforting her, he said that he had won. According to the agreement, she would be his wife, so she couldn't help staring. Glancing at him, the tears in her eyes flowed down her flabbergasted face, looking at Zhao Pan'er whose eyes were flushed and tears streaming down her face, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Pan'er, you won't play tricks, will you?"

"You're just being foolish!"

Looking at Yuan Xudong who was making fun of him, Zhao Pan'er wiped away his tears and said firmly:

"I haven't lost yet. I'm going to Tokyo to ask Ouyang Xu face to face. Maybe Uncle De was bribed, maybe it's Ouyang Xu. What is his last resort? Anyway, I can't just listen to what Uncle De said!"

"Zhao Pan'er, do you really love Ouyang Xu so deeply?"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was still unwilling to accept the reality, Yuan Xudong said angrily:
"Do you love Ouyang Xu too much, or just can't accept his betrayal of you?"

"Don't worry about it, who are you? Why do you care about me?"

Hearing Yuan Xudong's unceremonious words, Zhao Pan'er got up and left, ready to go back to the house to rest for a while. In her heart, she couldn't accept Ouyang Xu's betrayal, but she also loved Ouyang Xu, but she still had Yuan Xudong's shadow in her heart.

Which of the three is more important, even she herself doesn't know, looking at Zhao Pan'er who wants to continue to escape, Yuan Xudong feels suffocated, he has long regarded Zhao Pan'er as his confinement, but until now she still thinks about Ouyang Xu, this is something Yuan Xudong can't accept no matter what. He wants Zhao Pan'er's pristine body, but also her complete heart.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong immediately got up and chased after him, and pulled his hands. Amid Zhao Pan'er's exclamation, he hugged the somewhat panicked Zhao Pan'er in his arms, and strode towards the bedroom. Zhao Pan'er was shocked and said:
"Xiao, Mr. Xiao, what do you want to do?"

"I won. According to the agreement, I want you to be my wife. From now on, I will make you forget Ouyang Xu completely!"

"Don't, Young Master Xiao, don't!"

After the rain was over, Yuan Xudong's sweaty body lay aside on the big bed, fondling Zhao Pan'er who was still crying silently.

After getting what he wanted, Yuan Xudong blamed himself for his rudeness and brutality. He liked Zhao Paner and wanted to give her a good memory, but Zhao Paner refused to cooperate with him, and he was angry because of Ouyang Xu. So he committed atrocities to Zhao Pan'er, and his actions were rude. After the incident, he caressed and comforted the girl, while wiping away her tears and whispered softly:

"Does it still hurt?"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er closed her eyes and said nothing, Yuan Xudong didn't take it seriously, and just stroked her body lightly and continued:

"When I go to Tokyo, I will marry you and come in. There are three letters and six appointments, eight sedan chairs, a thousand taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, a hundred bolts of silk and satin, and a hundred maids and servants. What else is there?"

"Pan'er can't bear it, please ask Mr. Xiao to marry those noble girls who are well-matched!"

Zhao Pan'er still kept her eyes tightly closed, unwilling to open her eyes to see this apprentice who has taken over her innocent body. At the beginning, she shouldn't have saved him, but now that she has hurt herself, she can't blame others!
"Are you rejecting me?"

Looking at the lifeless Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong was a little worried about her, but he could only continue to be a villain and scare her:
"Zhao Pan'er, don't forget that Yinzhang hasn't taken off her humble status yet. If you want to make me angry again, I'll go to the Jiaofang Division and let the Jiaofang Division arrange for her to be called. Aren't you her sister? My own sister Don't care anymore?"

"you"

Hearing Yuan Xudong threaten her with Song Yinzhang, Zhao Paner opened her eyes at once. She looked up at Yuan Xudong, resisting her shyness and shame, and said sadly:
"Young Master Xiao, what exactly do you want Pan'er to do?"

"Not so much!"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er who had regained a little anger, Yuan Xudong put his arms around her body and said with a smile:
"You just need to be obedient, don't make me angry, I will treat you and your sister Yinzhang well!"

After saying that, Yuan Xudong started to move again, Zhao Pan'er was startled, and quickly held down his big hand that was doing bad things and said in fear:

"No, Mr. Xiao, Pan'er's body hasn't recovered yet, please stop torturing Pan'er!"

"it is good!"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was full of shyness and trembling voice, Yuan Xudong became more and more proud. He put his arms around Zhao Pan'er who was a little scared and said proudly:

"Forget it today, when we go to Tokyo, you and Yinzhang will serve me together!"

"you"

"Pan'er, I'm back!"

At this moment, Sun Sanniang ran into the tea shop in a hurry, and before Yuan Xudong and Zhao Pan'er could react, she opened the curtain and broke into the bedroom and said:
"Pan'er, I invited Lang!"

Seeing Yuan Xudong sitting on the bed with his upper body bare, Zhao Paner hid under the quilt again, and a few obscene clothes and trousers that girls wore next to her body were scattered on the ground. Sun Sanniang didn't know what happened, and suddenly She screamed in fright, ran out in a hurry, and dragged away the old man who had heard the sound, leaving time for Yuan Xudong and Zhao Paner to get dressed. After Sun Sanniang ran out of the bedroom, Yuan Xudong seemed indifferent, but Zhao Paner was His face was as red as blood, his eyes were full of panic and he said:

"What to do, what to do, San Niang has seen it all!"

"If you see it, you will see it. She is not a man, so she won't say anything!"

Yuan Xudong got up and got out of bed. After getting dressed, he turned to look at Zhao Pan'er and said with a smile:

"Are you feeling better? Or, if you sleep a little longer, I'll go outside and send the doctor back?"

Zhao Pan'er hid under the quilt and glanced at Yuan Xudong, shyly said:

"Well, you go out first!"

"Okay, then you have a good rest!"

Glancing at Zhao Pan'er, who had a red face, Yuan Xudong kissed her on the forehead, then went out, saw Sun Sanniang and an old man with a box on his shoulder in the yard, and gave the old man a small piece. After Sui Yinzi sent him away, Yuan Xudong looked at Sun Sanniang who had a peach blossom face and said with a smile:

"San Niang, I have already cured Pan'er's illness, it's just a blockage of qi and blood, I'll give you some guidance and it will be fine!"

"Bah, you're such a bad bastard, disciple!"

Turning a blind eye to Yuan Xudong, Sun Sanniang blushed, and hurriedly ran to the inner room of the tea shop and said:

"I'll go and see Pan'er, go to the street and buy some delicious food, and come back to make up for Pan'er!"

"okay!"

With a promise, Yuan Xudong happily walked down the street. Today he got what he wanted, so he wants to celebrate it!
After Yuan Xudong left, Sun Sanniang walked into the back room of the tea shop, looked at Zhao Pan'er who was still hiding under the quilt, and made fun of:
"Hey, isn't this the little lady of the Xiao family?"

"Sanniang!"

Hearing Sun Sanniang laughing at herself, Zhao Paner poked her head out of the quilt and said angrily:
"You are laughing at me!"

"Who dares to laugh at Prime Minister Xiao's daughter-in-law, she doesn't want to live anymore, does she?"

Sitting on the side of the bed, Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Pan'er and said with a smile:
"What's the matter, I just went out for a while, and you two are like this?"

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er was ashamed, with anger and joy on her face, she was wronged and cried:
"Sanniang, he, he bullied me."

"what happened?"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er wronged and crying, Sun Sanniang was shocked and said:
"Pan'er, don't cry, tell me the truth, did that apprentice bully you, didn't you do it voluntarily?"

Seeing Zhao Pan'er crying and nodding, Sun Sanniang was furious and cursed:
"These bastards are either unlucky, or they are apprentices, flower pickers, Pan'er, let's go to the Yamen to sue them, and let the county lord decide for you!"

"do not want!"

Hearing that Sun Sanniang was going to the Qiantang County Yamen to sue Yuan Xudong and Ouyang Xu, Zhao Paner hurriedly refused:
"Sanniang, it's useless. They protect each other from officials and officials. It's impossible for us to really make decisions for us. What's more, if you annoy Young Master Xiao, what about Yinzhang who wants to get out of his country and return to the good?"

"right!"

Thinking that Song Yinzhang wanted to get rid of his lowly status and needed Yuan Xudong's help to leave the Jiaofang Division, Sun Sanniang couldn't help but said in a decadent way:

"Then what should I do, just make him cheap like this?"

Saying that, Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Pan'er with some hesitation and said:

"That Pan'er, is he still willing to marry you?"

After glancing at Sun Sanniang, Zhao Pan'er nodded lightly. Seeing this, Sun Sanniang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:
"That's great. Since you can't be a Jinshi's wife, then you can be the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Xiao's family. The prime minister is much better than a Jinshi. And what about Gao Guan? By the way, Pan'er, you said Gao Guan and Xiao Chengxiang , which official is bigger?"

"Sanniang!"

Looking at Sun Sanniang, who wanted to settle accounts with Yuan Xudong one moment, and began to worry about her father's official position the next moment, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help saying angrily:
"What are you talking about?"

"Stop talking, stop talking!"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was embarrassed, Sun Sanniang waved her hand and said with a smile:
"Then what do you think, are you still going to Tokyo?"

"go with!"

Zhao Pan'er said with firm eyes:

"After you left, I thought about it for a long time. I have been with Ouyang for three years. He is by no means the kind of person who is unlucky. Even if he had to marry another person, with his temperament, he should at least give me a letter." The letter explained the reason, instead of asking Uncle De to bring a message, what if someone really made a mess and wanted to destroy his official career?

Give him a fickle name, or maybe the Gao family did fall in love with Ouyang, but he refused again and again, so they backed Ouyang, threatened and lured Uncle De, trying to cheat Tongxinpei from me first, and then trick Ouyang to say I have changed my mind?
The reason why I said that I need 500 taels of gold is to stabilize Uncle De and the people around him. Anyway, the business is not done now. After helping Yinzhang get out of the country, I will go to Tokyo to ask Ouyang face to face. , Didn't they say to get married after Guyu?As long as you meet Ouyang before then, everything will be revealed! "

"If it's true that Concubine Xian presided over the marriage?"

Looking at Zhao Pan'er, who still didn't give up, Sun Sanniang was a little worried:
"And that apprentice, you go to Tokyo to find Ouyang Xu, what will he think of you? If Ouyang Xu doesn't want to marry you, and he doesn't want to marry you, then what will you do then?"

"I'm just not reconciled. How can I see men so badly?"

Looking at Sun Sanniang, Zhao Pan'er whispered:

"Unless I see him, I don't believe a word that other people say!"

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

Yuan Xudong lifted the curtain and walked in. He looked at Zhao Pan'er and said directly:

"I hope this is the last time, okay?"

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er looked up at Yuan Xudong, nodded and smiled and said:
"Okay, one last time!"

Seeing Yuan Xudong come back, Sun Sanniang immediately got up from the bed, ran to the kitchen, picked up two kitchen knives, chased Yuan Xudong all over the room and hacked:

"Okay, Deng Tuzi, you dare to run back after bullying Pan'er, see if I don't hack you to death today!"

Being chased by Sun Sanniang all over the room with two kitchen knives, Yuan Xudong ran around Zhao Pan'er, shouting for help:

"Pan'er, help!"

"Stop, Deng Tuzi, look, I won't hack you to death today!"
