I said, I want to learn everything.

Thinking of the past, I can't help laughing at myself, at that time...

"Is this my fault? It was just an accident, but she blamed me all. My only fault is being a daughter."

Just because I'm a girl, so my life is lower than my brother's, why?

"Of course you are right, Tongtong, you never need to doubt that."

I looked at Chen Luo and smiled, "I never doubted it."

My brother is the best brother in the world, and my mother is a narrow and pitiful woman who is not worthy of being my mother.

My perception has always been clear.

Chapter 19

"Did you already know?" I originally wanted to ask, but after I asked, I already had the answer in my heart.

Obviously, judging from Chen Luo's performance along the way, he must know something.

So, without waiting for him to reply, I said again: "Thank you."

Thank you for protecting me when I was in the Su family.Maybe he was just being kind for a while, but he did give me some comfort.

"I just found out about my brother." Chen Luo looked at me with a slightly dark gaze: "But, Tongtong, there are some things that I didn't want you to know at first, for fear of making you sad, but now it seems that, on the contrary, It's better to let you know earlier, so that you can be prepared."

"What else, tell me, I can bear it."

"Back then you gave me full authority over the Duan family's affairs, so I asked someone to investigate the young master of the Duan family."

I nodded: "Yes." This is also in line with Chen Luo's work style.

"After this investigation, it was found out that the young master of the Duan family originally fell in love with your sister Su Zhiheng. The reason why the Duan family went to the Su family to propose marriage was because of your sister. My people bought the management of the inner court of the Su mansion, so that I Knowing from her that you have not been in Licheng, the Duan family thought that there was only one young lady in the Su family, and only Miss Su was listed in the marriage proposal. The Duan family has a lot of power in the officialdom. I am willing to offend the Duan family, and the young master of the Duan family... has a very bad reputation, so the Su family wants you to marry into the Duan family instead of Li Zong and your sister. I ordered people to shake this matter in front of the head of the Duan family After falling out, the Duan family naturally didn't want to get married again. It put pressure on the Duan family, so although the Duan family was reasonable, they just retired the marriage silently and didn't make a big deal out of it."

After hearing this, I silently poured another bowl of wine for myself.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that today's apricot blossom wine is stronger than usual. My alcohol capacity is considered good. If it were in the past, even if I had three jars of this kind of apricot blossom wine, I would still be able to drink it without changing my face Yes, but it's only half the altar today, but I feel a little drunk.

"I originally thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect that the Su family would bring it up in front of you, making you so sad."

"It's not your fault, you just underestimated how shameless they are."

How can he be blamed? Even I was a little shocked when I heard Mrs. Su turned the truth and asked the newly married daughter to go to her son-in-law to ask for a large sum of money.

"Has anything happened to the Su family these years?"

If not, it would not be possible for Su Zhiheng and the Duan family to discuss marriage again when they had already divorced and the Duan family did not retaliate under the pressure of Tianshui Villa.

2 taels of silver, if it was the former Su family, it would never be taken seriously.

However, speaking of it, after such an experience, the young master of the Duan family was still willing to marry Su Zhiheng with a dowry of 2 taels of silver, which was quite persistent.

"The year before last, Mr. Su was conspired by someone to buy a large amount of inferior silk and satin. This incident caused the reputation of Suji silk and satin village to decline greatly, and the business also plummeted. In addition to the locust plague last year, the harvest of the Su family's village was very poor. "

"I see."

However, it has nothing to do with me.

I became addicted to alcohol, poured a few more bowls of apricot blossom wine, and drank it all.Looking up, I saw Chen Luo looking at me with pity.

I was immediately happy: "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Pity me? It's really unnecessary. I admit that I was a little sad just now, but it's mainly because of Su Han. Mrs. Su really can't affect me in the slightest now."

During those few years in Su Mansion's side courtyard, my expectations for Mrs. Su have long since been exhausted.This time, it just made me completely despair of her.

My voice lowered: "I'm just a little surprised. I originally planned to whitewash the peace, but Mrs. Su didn't even give me this chance."

"I once thought about the reason why Mrs. Su hates me so much. In the end, I felt that she was a little pitiful. All the women in this world are a little pitiful."

Maybe it's because I drank a lot today, and I want to say a lot more than before.There are some words that are usually only stuffed in my heart, but I actually said them through drunkenness:

"In this world, it is more difficult for women to survive. Man said that ordinary people, so what if they are princes and aristocrats? Prince Zhiyuan of our Shang Kingdom quelled Ximan at the age of 16, making the brave and warlike Ximan Kingdom come back again after 50 years. I paid tribute to the Shang Kingdom and became a minister. Two years later, Rui and Chengfeng joined forces with 50 troops to suppress the border, and Prince Zhiyuan took command of the expedition again. Isn't his achievements outstanding enough? Not qualified enough to be crown prince? Just because she is a daughter, she has to accept the verbal criticism of those officials in the court. Now that the border is peaceful, the king doesn't need the sharp sword of Prince Zhiyuan anymore, so he uses it in The old wounds left on the battlefield need to be recuperated in the name of taking away her military power, and ordering her to stay away from the capital to recuperate. The name is caressing, but in fact it is sex. Although the name of the prince has not been formally taken away, it is better than nothing."

In this generation of kings and queens of the Shang Kingdom, only Prince Zhiyuan is the only direct descendant.The empress and the young couple have a deep relationship. When the queen was dying, she was worried that without her escort, the only young girl would not be able to survive the battle in the harem. The king ordered Gu Zhiyuan, who was still a princess at that time, to be the prince on the spot.But in the past few years, the monarch has grown old and listened to the words of greedy officials more and more. In addition, the beloved concubine Li gave birth to a prince for him, so he wanted to make another son of concubine Li the crown prince.It's just that because of Prince Zhiyuan's outstanding military exploits, he can't deprive him of the position of prince for no reason, so he is exiled far away.

This is true for royal women, let alone small households? Men are respected, women are humble, this is the problem of the entire era.

If you live in a temple, you worry about the world, but I don't live in a temple, so I only want to worry about myself.

"Prince Zhiyuan is indeed a hero of the generation." Chen Luo said.

I nodded and agreed, she is indeed more worthy of the word hero than all the princes and ministers in the court of the Shang Dynasty.

At the moment, he drank a few more bowls of wine.

I rubbed my eyes, and realized that I might really have drunk a little too much, and even Chen Luo had a double image.

The more I wanted to focus, the more blurred my eyes became, so I simply lay down on the table and didn't care if I knocked over the wine glass on the table: "I haven't drunk for many years, and my drinking capacity is not as good as before."

"Yongji Liquor Shop in Yecheng has a kind of strong wine called Three Days Drunk, which is made from bamboo leaf green and apricot flower brewing in a certain proportion. , it must be poured within three cups."

Huh? There is such a practice, why... I have never heard of it?

But my mind was in a mess right now, and I didn't think of asking him, since he knew it would happen, why didn't he remind me earlier.

My last memory of this day is that Chen Luo seemed to say something later: "I've known you for many years, but I didn't know you had such a good capacity for alcohol."

I heard it, pointed at her drunkenly, smiled stupidly and said: "How can I let you know? I have no roots and power in the Chen family. You think I am like you. With the support of my father and brother, I can do whatever I want... ..."
