Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Little Girl Flower!
Looking back at the past, only the moon remains.
Mr. Zhu Ba in the bamboo forest narrates the past thirty years ago.
At that time, he was still Zhu Baye in his prime.
That year, the water of the Suzhou River was still clear, and the Zhufu on the riverside was like a beauty in ink painting. The coat is windy and graceful.
This year, Zhu Jiuhua, the ninth generation heir of Zhu's House, passed the examination for merit.
No matter how rich the merchants are, they are also at the bottom of the official list. How about being rich? When I met the master of the county, the smallest Jiu Pin Sesame Officer, I would like to visit him and shout a lord!
In the ninth generation of Zhu Fu's single biography, the young master in Fufu can win a scholar, and then become an official. Jiangnan Zhufu is no longer a merchant family who pays tribute to the official.
Zhu Baye couldn't hold his mouth shut, and packed the three-day running mat in the largest restaurant in Suzhou.
Everyone in Suzhou said that there was smoke on the grave of Zhu Jiazu. Some people murmured that all the good things in the world were taken up by Zhu Fu.
Those who say this are either envious or jealous. All kinds of complex mentality are different.
Early spring in March. Miscellaneous trees in the south of the country grow flowers, lily warblers cry, and green grass grows like smoke. There were bursts of laughter in the quiet garden of Zhu Mansion.
Zhu Jiuhua, who looks beautiful as a green bamboo in the back of the hospital, opened the sandalwood box on the desk, with a strong smile on the bottom of her eyebrows. He was not only happy to get the merit of Jinshi, but in a few days, he was about to celebrate his 17th birthday.
"Uncle Hai, what do you think of this?" He excitedly took a golden hairpin butterfly hairpin out of the box.
The golden wire, which was extremely drawn, wrapped up a butterfly delicately, and its wings were embellished with emeralds with large grains of rice.
Hyber replied with a smile: "It's beautiful."
"Sister must like it." Zhu Jiuhua said in a low voice.
The sound is extremely low, as if protecting the big secret.
The master and servant smiled at each other, and in a few days, the young lady had passed her seventeenth birthday, and the agreement from the ancestor would not be counted.
Jiangnan Zhufu has been doing business for generations. Master Zhu Qi, the seventh generation heir of Zhufu, made a mistake. Smashed a big business and lost his life. According to the law of the Great Wei State at that time, the lightest should also be exiled to the north.
Zhu Fu has always been a thin man, and Zhu Liuye has such a son under his knees. The Di people in the North often harassed the border. Nine out of ten prisoners in exile could not come back. Some even died on the road before they even reached the North. The young master of Zhufu can't eat this kind of bitterness naturally. If Zhu Qi died, Zhu Fu would die.
Therefore, Zhu Liuye would rather dissipate his family's wealth to quell the matter and keep his son.
Zhu Fu was not the richest man in Jiangnan at that time. It is just a wealthy man who runs silk tea in the city of Suzhou. The other person knew that Zhu Fu's blood was left, and it was hard to guarantee that Zhu Fu would not turn over again. So I put up a penny frame to beat the water dog. Knowing that as long as Zhu Qixi is first-class, Zhu Fu is over. At this critical moment, there is no reason to close. Straight to the Zhu family to the corner and no escape.
The prefects of Suzhou Prefecture received cashiers on both sides, and they remained unselfish above the public hall.
Master Zhu Liu, who was squeezed in silver, still could not protect his son, and fell ill in front of the couch. He said angrily: "If someone willing to resolve this matter for Zhu Fu, the old man would like to give away all his family property."
This is the biggest crisis encountered since Zhu's establishment.
However, when everyone was waiting for the young master to be exiled in the north, and Zhu Liuye was seriously ill and dying, things changed.
The eyes of Master Zhifu in Suzhou Prefecture suddenly became brighter, his mind became clearer, and his case became wise and decisive. It was not the fault of the Zhu family to find out this matter in just three days. Master Zhu Qi was framed, and his life was naturally not related to Master Qi. The state capital quickly arrested the thunder and attacked. Suo took a prisoner. He obtained a signed confession that night and returned Zhu Fu's innocence. Master Zhifu sent Seven Young Masters back to Zhufu with his sedan chair.
After this incident, Zhu Fu embarked on a bright and smooth journey along the Cotai Strip. Doing business smoothly, what to do and what to earn. Gradually, when Zhu Baye took over, he had become a veritable rich businessman in Jiangnan. Zhu's family business has nearly tripled than that of Zhu Liuye.
All this comes from the help of a mysterious person.
He not only helped Zhu Fu relieve the crisis of deceased son and grandchildren, but also gave Zhu Liuye a large amount of money turnover.
Master Zhu Liu willingly wrote down the evidence in person. He was very happy when he signed the painting. Because the request made by the other party is really small.
The other party saved Zhu Mansion, the mansion that was about to fall, provided a large sum of money, and secretly pointed and shot for a period of time to revive the powerful Zhu Mansion. His request was simply not worth mentioning.
Mysteriously, if he has a son in the future, he will marry a daughter of Zhu Fu. He will send a gift when Miss Zhu's 17th birthday, and at the age of 18 he will take Huaqiao to pick someone up. However, if Zhu Fu ruins the agreement, he will return the large sum of money he gave to him.
Master Zhu Liu never thought he would break the contract.
In order to save his son, Zhu Liuye sold 50% of Zhu's property. If there is no big money for the mysterious people, even if the Zhu family of seven young masters are in good health, Zhu's house can only be reduced from a rich to a rich, and maybe it will be lost.
The mysterious man sent charcoal in the snow. At that time, even if he wanted Zhu Liuye to use his life to return his favor, Zhu Liuye would give it. What's more, the mysterious man just wanted his son to marry a daughter of the Zhu family.
From another point of view, Zhu Fu's daughter is also a blessed person who can climb into the family of the mysterious person. If there is no daughter, it is a matter of course to repay money with interest.
No matter how you think about it, this deal is good for Zhu Fu. Zhu Liuye's gratitude to the mysterious people is like the water of Suzhou River.
Zhu Liuye passed down the letter as a will, so that future generations must not violate it. Seven young masters took over Zhu Mansion and became Zhu Qiye. He was also grateful for saving Zhu Fu's mysterious man.
When Zhu Qiye lived, he gave birth to ten daughters. He kept this agreement in mind, and each daughter decided to marry after her seventeenth birthday. It's a pity that he didn't wait for the benefactor's son to come and hire him all his life. Before he died, Zhu Qiye passed the word to Zhu Baye.
However, after Zhu Baye took over the Zhu Mansion, the situation was a bit bad.
Zhu Baye ’s wife is the first beauty in Suzhou. Zhu Baye and his wife have a deep relationship, and there is no concubine around them. Mrs. Zhu became pregnant after a year of marriage. Mrs. Zhu was dystocia during production. She finally gave birth to a pair of twins for Zhu Ba Ye, who was dying.
According to Mrs. Zhu, the characters handed down from the Zhu family are known. She suddenly thought of a problem before she died. If the mysterious man had a son, he should be about the same age as Master Zhu, or older. Mrs. Zhu looked at the baby's daughter in the baby, and was horrified. Is it possible that his daughter will marry an old man in his 50s or 60s after seventeen years? With her last breath, she begged Zhu Baye and asked him to stop it anyway.
Zhu Baye was also surprised.
This is betrayal.
But he was really reluctant.
Madam Zhu had trouble giving birth, and Zhu Baye was already in a state of confusion. In the delivery room, there was only the big girl and Wenpo who were waiting for Mrs. Zhu. The big girl was Mrs. Zhu's dowry girl, and she begged him along with Mrs. Zhu, and would never say it. Wen Po is an old maid from the palace. She has no married life and is alone.
Grandpa Zhu immediately made a decision, and Wen Po took the life in Zhuangzi of Zhu Mansion. Promised to give her an end to her retirement, and shut up her mouth. And let the big girl hugged her daughter to Xuejiazhuang of Xizhou Prefecture overnight, and entrusted him to raise him. It was announced that his wife had a son.
At the time, Zhu Baye felt that the son of the mysterious man did not marry his sister, and may not appear again. However, things are just in case.
A few years later, the midwife who passed the birth passed away, and Zhu Baye did something for her. He was kind to Lord Xue, and his daughter Xue Fei became the pearl of Lord Xue.
The daughter gradually grew up, and Zhu Baye gradually reassured. Just waiting for Xue Fei to be taken back to Zhu Mansion when he was seventeen. Find a good lover for her again.
The guilt of the mysterious person and the guilt of the father and grandfather made Zhu Baye unconsciously did not want to marry his daughter early. How can you wait until you are seventeen, waiting for the one-tenth of the one that doesn't appear to be possible.
Zhu Jiuhua is very sensible and filial. Grandpa Zhu did not hide him. He took his son in the name of a merchant and quietly saw his daughter every year in Xizhou.
Xue Fei resembles Madam Zhu day by day. Bingxue is lovely, sensible and filial. She understood the pain of her father sending her away without complaining.
Master Zhu Ba felt he was right. How can a beautiful flowery daughter marry a bad old man?
Together with his son and daughter, he was waiting excitedly for the day to pass early.
On this day, the Zhu Mansion was decorated with lanterns to welcome guests from all directions.
Master Zhu Jiajiu's achievements in talent show and his birthday at the age of seventeen can be described as double happiness.
Many people in Suzhou prefecture came to congratulate and still have the thought of getting married. My daughter can marry young master Zhu Jiajiu who has wealth, talents, looks and prospects.
Cars are like horses and horses.
No one knows the other excitement behind the gentle smile of the nine young masters. No one saw another kind of joy under the bright red face of Zhu Baye.
Time flies, and the sun goes west. This day will pass by the excitement of the father and son of the Zhu family.
In the interlacing of plans, the young chief executive Zhu Fu walked steadily to the side of Zhu Baye and whispered softly: "A weirdo came and gave a very expensive gift. He said that it was a gift.
Zhu Baye's face instantly turned pale, and the wine in the glass was lightly sprinkled on the hem of the shirt, and it looked like a bitter tear. Zhu Fu carefully supported him and said softly, "I have led him to the study. No one saw it." What he said was not good, and he went to a black alley and said nothing.
Zhu Baye was so determined that he would let Zhu Fu entertain guests, excuse himself for changing clothes, and swayed out of the lobby.
For the head of the family, the importance of the study is self-evident.
Zhu Baye's study is actually a courtyard. He lives in a courtyard with two entrances. Bypassing the small door on the side, the entire backyard is a study. Zhu Fu was introduced into the study from the back door of his own supervisors.
The eight carved wooden doors are wide open, accompanied by the second master Zhu Lu, who is famous for his carefulness, and Zhu Xi, who is invincible in Jiangnan. Seeing Uncle Zhu's complexion entered the door, Zhu Lu Zhu Xi bowed his head and retreated to the door. A glance of sadness passed unconsciously in his eyes.
Zhu Baye put a smile on his face, clenched his fists and said, "Dare to ask you?"
At this time the twilight was over, and the courtyard was full of gold, and there was no light in the room. The coming person was sitting in the large rosewood wood chair where Grandpa Zhu often sat. The whole person was in the shadow of the study, and the whole body overflowed with cold air.
Seeing Mr. Zhu Ba came in, the person slowly stood up and walked two steps forward. Uncle Zhu Ba looked at it clearly, and his heart suddenly tightened.
This man is older than his age and has wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and white face is not necessary. It's like looking at a large list of old scholars on Suzhou Street. His eyes have no emotion, and they are as cold as ice in the cellar in summer. Wearing an emerald green robe, this delicate color like the willow on the old man suddenly made Master Zhu Ba disgusted.
"I'm here to fulfill the contract." The person's voice was very soft, and a hand pushed a note.
This letter placed on the red sandalwood desk is very new, as if it were newly written. Zhu Baye's pupils contracted suddenly and his heart beat faster. He recognized at a glance that this was the grandfather's handwriting. The document was duplicated, and the document presented by the person was exactly the same as the one the father had passed to him.
Looking at the bright red finger print and the grandfather's seal on the bottom, Grandpa Zhu shivered and his smile became ugly as if crying: "I, I don't have a daughter. I return silver."
Lairen's eyes are full of sarcasm. My finger tapped on the red sandalwood wooden table, and it sounded like a drum: "Xuejiazhuang, Xizhoufu, Jiangbei. At this time next year, I will pick up the lady."
It seems that Zhu Baye, who is foolish in front of him, will become his father-in-law, and he should maintain a little respect. Lairen did not accuse Zhu Baye of trying to betray his ideas. It's just that the secret was pierced relentlessly with a cold voice.
How could he know the secret hidden for 17 years? He painstakingly sent his daughter to the Xizhou Prefecture in Jiangbei, where he endured for seventeen years, but he was just like that. Zhu Baye heartbroken.
How can a slack daughter like a flower marry a man older than he looks?
With a trembling lips, Zhu Baye said again, "I'm still silver!"
The man's eyes opened wide and said coldly, "You can't afford it."
Zhu Baye looked for help like Zhu Xi standing at the door. Zhu Xi shook his head gently. Obviously, Zhu Xi had already counted the amount of this repayment.
A large sum of silver that year, after decades, the principal plus interest has turned to a staggering figure.
Once again, Zhu Baye looked at the people seriously and said tremblingly, "You, are you Gui Geng this year? Where do you live in the palace? Who is there in Fuzhong?"
The person came silently and replied lightly: "Jingzhou, Jiangbei, there is still a wife and a concubine at home. After the lady passes the door, she will let her return home to visit relatives once a year."
Master Zhu Ba was furious: "You're even stingy about telling your name, how can I be assured of marrying a girl?"
The visitor was not angry, and his eyes swept over the letter on the desk, and said: "Your grandfather had something to say first, and he would never reveal his identity. Master Zhu Liuye had already agreed. Everything was based on the letter. At this time next year, Huaqiao will pick up people.
He shoved towards Zhu Baye and left.
Zhu Baye shouted in despair: "I can't afford it now, will my son be able to do it again?"
Here comes a sneer: "My father didn't give it to Zhu Jiayin several times at that time. Father Zhu, I forgive you for concealing your daughter's news. This is the only time, not as an example."
He looked at the sky in the courtyard, the sunset was early, and the sky showed an orange blood red color. A few late-turning swallows skimmed through the air. In the quiet evening, an uneasy breath wafted in the courtyard of the study where no idlers could enter. The man glanced at the back of the window with a sneer: "Twenty crossbows, thirty good hands can really stop me? As soon as the crossbow arrows are fired, I interrupt Zhu Jiuhua's limbs as interest. The entire property of the government. "
In other words, if Zhu Fu does not marry a daughter, the person who comes here will sue Shang Guan Fu to let everyone know that Zhu Family is betraying his faith, confiscating property, and let Zhu Family die.
Zhu Baye slid softly to the ground, and watched as the person collected the letter and left.
Zhu Jiuhua, who saw his father's wrong face in the banquet, followed, and heard all the conversation under the back window.
Astronomical figures of two, the younger sister of her 17th birthday today. The former Zhu Fu can't afford it, the latter refuses to give it. As for his limbs, it is only interest to give.
Zhu Jiuhua leaned back and forth under the back window, remembering his sister who was far away in Xuejiazhuang.
The mysterious man knows the secrets of Zhu Fu's hidden for 17 years. Zhu's behavior is like a joke.
"Take the lady back to the house to be married." Uncle Zhu Ba became instantly old, unable to utter a word.
Zhu Lu and Zhu Xi lowered their heads and felt sad for the young lady who had left the house for 17 years.
Zhu Jiuhua, immersed in shock and sorrow, was shocked by his father's words. Just as he was young, he burst into the study room and shouted: "Sister is only seventeen years old and has been away from home for so many years. Why should he marry an old man older than his father ?! Or concubine? You forgot? Did the mother plead before she died? If the sister marries that person, she will not be peaceful under the fountain! "
The tears of Grandpa Zhu fell, and said with great difficulty: "Without that family, there will be no Zhu House today. Dad is incompetent, earns not enough money, and hurts Mayfair!"
Full of misery.
Everyone in the front hall was so busy that he did not know how to get drunk. Everyone in the back hall was as happy as it was tonight.
The night was silent, and the father and son were sorrowful about a light.
The youthful and passionate Zhu Jiuhua grew up outside the house because he was so distressed that he could only secretly meet his sister.
Xue Fei inherited the beauty of Mrs. Zhu, her eyes were clean and dust-free. Let her marry the man who is older than his father, covered in cold weather, and has wives and concubines. A man who doesn't even know the last name? Zhu Jiuhua felt like a knife.
He yelled and rushed out of the study.
That night, Master Nine left Suzhou House alone and went straight to Xuejiazhuang, Xizhou House.
