Song female man

"..." Shunniang looked at Song Gui in disbelief after hearing this, and at the same time, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She tried her best to hold back, but Shunniang didn't say some scolding words out of her mouth.This Song Gui is just a housekeeper in Cao Shilang's mansion, but he wants to decide his own life's happiness, what is the marriage, what is the price, what does he think of himself?Besides, Shunniang didn't believe what he said at all. He wanted to make a happy relationship between herself and Sister Song Yu.Because three or four months ago, wasn't this Song Gui who wanted to cut off all contact with Sister Song Yu in order to curry favor with Han Yanei and meet him?At this moment, Han Ya Nei has become a living dead, seeing that he can't please, he is going to force himself into the Song family again?

She wondered if this was what Sister Song Yu meant, that Sister Song Yu wanted her to be with her, so she asked her brother to say so.

However, through the contact with Sister Song Yu these days, Shunniang felt that she did not seem like the person who would do such a thing, but she was not quite sure if she knew people and faces but did not know her heart.

So, she immediately asked Song Gui: "Is this what your sister means?"

Song Gui shook his head and said that this was not what his sister meant, but his own meaning, he just wanted his sister to be happy.

Shunniang then asked him that since his sister didn't mean it, how could he guarantee that if he did this, his sister would be happy.

Song Gui was stunned by this question, and after a while he said that his sister would like it if he did this, and he also asked Shun Niang to stop talking nonsense, and just said that he would like it or not.

Shunniang originally wanted to say that she disagreed in front of Song Gui, but then she thought that since Song Gui had already revealed all his trump cards, if she refused to agree to him, and would tear up her face with him face to face, then she might soon be betrayed by him. all.In Bianliang City, or even in Yangliu Town, he was no match for him, and he would definitely suffer a loss if he confronted him head-on.As for what kind of losses you will suffer, it is nothing more than one is the sale, the other is your own personal safety, and the third is the personal safety of the family members, such as the old lady, sister-in-law and two children.No matter which one of these three things went wrong, Shun Niang didn't want to see them.

She said: "On the matter of marriage, I dare not make the decision alone. I have to go back and discuss it with my mother before I can answer you."

Song Gui stared at Shunniang, trying to see something in her eyes, such as fear, such as cunning, but there was nothing, Shunniang's eyes were calm, as if she was talking about ordinary things.

"I'll give you three days." Song Gui finally said, "Give me a promise letter in three days, and I'll send you a word. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. It's your luck that my sister matches you. Don't be ignorant of flattery, otherwise there will be consequences." Conceited. By the way, three days later, at this hour, at this place, you come to see me."

Shunniang stood up expressionlessly, arched her hands towards him, then turned and walked out.

After leaving the tea house, Shunniang went to pick up her own ox cart, jumped into the ox cart, and drove the cart to the outside of Bianliang City. It took a while to see Song Gui, and it was dark when she left the city. When they arrived in Yangliu Town and drove the ox cart into the backyard of Xie's house, it was completely dark.

Just jumped out of the cart, Erniang Xie had already come over with a lantern in the snow, she saw the bundled boxes and cages on the ox cart, and guessed that these must be the bride price bought by Shunniang, she couldn't help but Eyebrows curved with joy.

As soon as Shunniang saw her, her gloomy mood suddenly became brighter, and she asked her in a doting tone if she had been waiting for him for a long time. Although it was said that spring had already begun, it was still cold in the morning and evening of the first month, don't Frozen, turn back to catch the cold and get sick, I have to worry about her again.

Xie Erniang said with a smile on her lips that she would not let Shunniang come back without seeing Shunniang come back. She also said that she knew that Shunniang liked to wait for her.

Shunniang smiled, and told her honestly that she drove into the backyard of Xie's house every day, and the first person she wanted to see was her, but she didn't want Erniang Xie to stay in the warm boudoir in such a cold night, Instead, they waited for themselves in the cold in the yard below.It was too late today when she went to pick out the dowry in a shop in the city, and she tried to come back on time in the future, so as not to ask Xie Erniang to wait any longer.

Hearing Shunniang say that the cages tied up on the ox cart were indeed dowry gifts, Xie Erniang bit her lip and laughed shyly.

"You go back first. Pretend you didn't see these things. I'm here to move. Don't go to my house until you make a decision. After you make a decision, you can come to my house often. At that time, my mother must have nothing to worry about. After all It's settled."

"I'm holding the lantern here, I'll go back after you move."

Shunniang said hello, and went to take pictures of the door on the fence between the two houses by herself, and then moved the betrothal gift bought today twice.

After moving, I gave Xie Erniang a few more instructions before going home.

Liu Shi, Qi Shi and their two children haven't eaten, and they are waiting for her to come back to eat.

After dinner, Shunniang accompanied the old lady to look at the betrothal gifts she had bought. Mrs. Liu asked how much it cost while looking at them. Woke up, and said that Shunniang was prodigal, and the five pennies only bought back almost half of the things.If you buy all the dowry gifts, shouldn’t you spend about ten guans? After getting married, you will have to hold a banquet, which will cost another five or six guans. In this way, Shunniang will spend fifteen or six guans to marry Xie Erniang. Money, this is more than the money spent by a family with a son in the town to marry a daughter-in-law.

Seeing her mother like this, Shunniang was a little unhappy, saying that she only had such a wedding in her life, and it was a real marriage, so why couldn't she spend so much money?Besides, money spent can be earned back.

Mrs. Liu originally wanted to say how Shunniang marrying Xie Erniang can be compared to other people's son marrying a daughter-in-law. Other people's son marrying a daughter-in-law enters the family, and the daughter-in-law wants to bear children and reproduce for the husband's family.How can a daughter-in-law who can't give birth to Xi's family be worth so much dowry?

But, she looked back and thought that when Xie Erniang married into the family, she would use this matter to make things difficult for Xie Erniang in the future, and she shouldn't expose her thoughts in front of Shunniang at this moment, so she held back and didn't say it.

However, she still muttered for a long time, saying that Shunniang had just made some money and spent it lavishly, completely forgetting the bitter days when every penny had to be divided into two flowers and so on.

Shunniang originally met Song Gui today, and was a little annoyed by Song Gui's threat to marry him into the Song family. She felt better after seeing Erniang Xie just now, but now she was being talked about by her mother and her mood became bad again.With an ugly face, she said that she was tired and wanted to wash up and go to bed, so she went to the backyard to boil water, leaving her old lady there alone to read.

Mrs. Qi followed Shunniang to the kitchen, and she also saw that Shunniang was in a bad mood, so she advised her not to care about what her mother-in-law said, because she was used to thrift.

Shunniang nodded, and told her sister-in-law to water the bean sprouts later, she was a little tired today and didn't want to move.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qi told her to go to bed quickly, and do the rest of the work by herself.Even though seeing the betrothal gifts that Shunniang bought back, Mrs. Qi was uncomfortable, but when she saw Shunniang's tired face, she didn't care about how good the betrothal gifts Shunniang had bought and took them down as betrothal gifts. , and turned to care about Shun Niang.

Shunniang washed her face and feet, and went straight to bed to lie down. In fact, after meeting Song Gui today, although she said she would come back to discuss with her mother about joining the Song family, she had no intention of discussing this matter with her at all.She knew that my old lady didn't quite agree with her marrying Xie Erniang in the first place. If she said so, she would definitely be afraid of getting into trouble and wanted to agree to Song Gui's marriage to the Song family, especially if she knew that Sister Song Yu knew that she was a woman and still liked her. In addition, if you marry the Song family, you will get a lot of money.Therefore, what she said to Song Gui to go home to discuss with the old lady before answering him was just an excuse, and she just wanted to procrastinate for a while so that she could come up with a solution.

She didn't plan to tell Xie Erniang about this matter, but wanted to find a way to solve this problem first, and if she couldn't solve it, she would discuss with Xie Erniang what to do.

But the most fundamental one is that she plans to let the matchmaker go to Xie's house on the 23rd of the first lunar month to make a decision according to the original plan, and this one has not changed.

After much deliberation, she decided to tell Sister Song Yu about this and see what Sister Song Yu said. If she said the same thing as Song Gui, then she had to tell her that she would rather die than do what she wanted.

Having made up her mind, Shunniang got out of bed, put on her clothes, lit the oil lamp, took out a few pieces of paper, and wrote a letter to Sister Song Yu, telling about Song Gui's meeting with her today, and her love for her. Threats, as well as her own intentions, were all written down. She begged Sister Song Yu to fulfill herself and not to force herself, otherwise her goodwill towards her would be wiped out in the end.

After writing the letter, she read it carefully again before folding the letter and putting it in the account book on the table.

When she got up the next day, Shunniang still brought five pennies into the city, and after delivering the seeds, she handed over the letter she wrote last night to Shitou, and asked him to go to the room at the end of Tianshui Lane where Sister Song Yu lived. Zhaizi, let him deliver this letter to Sister Song Yu in person.

Shitou accepted the letter and reassured her, saying that he would definitely deliver the letter to Sister Song Yu himself.

After parting from Shitou, Shunniang went to buy the betrothal gift that she hadn't finished buying yesterday, while Shitou went to Sister Song Yu's house in Tianshui Lane, knocked on the door and met the boy who came to open the door and begged to see Sister Song Yu.

Sister Song Yu happened to just come back from her parents' house, and was going to take another day off before going to the Song's main store to manage the business.

The servant asked Shi Shi to wait, and went in to pass the message. When Sister Song Yu heard that Shi Shi wanted to see her, she probably guessed that Shun Niang had something to ask Shi Shi to pass on to her, so she asked someone to bring Shi Shi in.

Shi Shi came in to see Sister Song Yu, saluted her, and then handed the letter that Shun Niang asked him to bring to Sister Song Yu. Sister Song Yu took it and unfolded it, and Dai Mei frowned all of a sudden. She really didn't expect her elder brother to be so I'm going to act soon, I really have to go to see Shun Niang and threaten her into marriage.

Shunniang also made it very clear in the letter that she would never die as Song Gui wanted. The subtext was that she was very opposed to Song Gui's actions, and doing so would make Shunniang lose her goodwill towards her. live.

Although Sister Song Yu wanted to be able to get along with Shunniang very much in her heart, she wanted to be her partner for the rest of her life, but she did not want to get Shunniang's person through this method anyway.After thinking for a while, she said to Shitou: "Shitou, go back and tell Xier, I will find a way to solve this matter, she doesn't have to worry too much."

Shitou Yinghao was taken out by the woman who brought him in, while Sister Song Yu was lost in thought with the letter written by Shunniang. She thought, how can I stop my elder brother from doing such a stupid thing?

After Shitou left, Sister Song Yu was holding the letter written by Shunniang and was at a loss when Cao Qihong came to visit her.Seeing Cao Qihong, Sister Song Yu naturally told her about it, but she didn't show her the letter Shunniang wrote to her.

After hearing this, Cao Qihong first asked Sister Song Yu if she wanted Xi Erlang. Sister Song Yu told her honestly that she did have thoughts about "Xi Erlang", but now "Xi Erlang" fell in love with the daughter of a butcher in Yangliu Town, and wanted to He wanted to marry that little lady, so he planned to make Xi Er perfect.

"Qihong, please help me think of a way to stop my elder brother from doing that stupid thing. If he does that, Xi Er won't hate me anymore." Sister Song Yu pleaded, grabbing Cao Qihong's sleeve.

Although Cao Qihong got married and divorced again, she is now living in the Cao Mansion, and she can be regarded as one of the masters of the Cao Mansion. Besides, Cao Shilang and his wife love her little daughter very much. If she comes forward to talk to Song Gui, let him Song Gui dared not refuse to give up forcing "Xi Erlang" into the Song family.

After pondering for a while, Cao Qihong said: "Actually, if I came forward to ask your elder brother not to do such bullying things, he wouldn't dare not listen. However, I'm afraid that even if he doesn't force Xi Erlang to join the Song family Yes, but they will still send people to deal with Kijiro, such as beating him up, or destroying his seed business..."

Sister Song Yu asked: "If you don't do this, how can you stop my elder brother?"

Cao Qihong pursed her lips, and walked slowly in the room, thinking while walking, while Sister Song Yu followed her step by step.

After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped, raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes!"

Sister Song Yu was overjoyed when she saw this, and hurriedly asked her: "Qihong, do you have any good ideas, come and listen to them!"

Cao Qihong smiled and said, "Come here with your ears."

Sister Song Yu approached her, and when Cao Qihong said this, Sister Song Yu immediately clapped her hands like a child, saying that this method is good, and she will do as Cao Qihong said.

After Shunniang separated from Shitou, she still followed the original plan to tell the old lady that after buying the remaining dowry gifts on the list she had written down, she still bought high-quality goods that met her wishes.After going back, Mrs. Liu still chanted a few words when she saw her, but Shun Niang pretended not to hear it, but she still had a thought in her heart, that is, shouldn't she hand over every penny of the money she earned? Should I also build my own small treasury?After all, in terms of the use of some money, there must be differences between this young man and the old man Liu. For example, if the money in the small treasury she built is used this time to buy the dowry, her mother may not So much to say...

Next, before the 23rd of the first lunar month, at the urging of Shunniang, Mrs. Liu also went to a matchmaker named Jiang in the town, and asked her to go to Xie's house to be a matchmaker.

Shunniang is also waiting for Sister Song Yu's reply. Seeing that the 22nd day of the first lunar month is getting closer and closer to the day Song Gui asked for a letter of approval, Shunniang came back from the city on the 21st day of the first lunar month and asked Erniang Xie to go to Xiaochai. Fang, told her about Song Gui's threat to marry her into the Song family, and asked her if the decision was made on the 23rd of the first lunar month, would Song Gui do all kinds of harm to herself, Xi's family, and destroy her seeds? Will Xie Erniang marry her as scheduled, and marry into Xi's family?

"What? There is such a thing?" Xie Erniang was so frightened that her face paled after hearing this, she looked at Shunniang and asked.

Shunniang nodded and told her that she had already tried to send a letter to Sister Song Yu, but she hadn't received her reply. It seemed that the day to answer Song Gui on the 22nd of the first lunar month was getting closer, and the next day would be when Xi's family invited her. The matchmaker went to Xie's house and said that the date was fixed by the matchmaker. She felt it was necessary to let Xie Erniang know about it.If Xie Erniang is afraid that after the decision is made, something will happen in the middle, and she will not be able to marry her in the end, she can tell herself at this moment that she does not want the matchmaker of Xi's family to come to Xie's house to say goodbye, then she will not ask Jiang's matchmaker to come to Xie's house .

"Then...then tell me, are you afraid that Song Guizhen will do something to punish you, so that...the Xi family can't gain a foothold in Yangliu Town?" Xie Erniang asked nervously, and it was obvious that her lips were twitching. trembling.

Shunniang frowned and said: "Of course I'm afraid, but I've also decided that even if I die, I won't do what Song Gui wants. The only person I want to marry is you."

Xie Erniang threw herself into her arms, hugged her, choked with sobs and said, "I don't want you to die! If you really died because you defied Song Gui's forced marriage, then I would rather not be engaged to you."

Shunniang stroked her back, comforted her and said, "I just said that. I believe that no matter how domineering Song Gui is, he wouldn't dare to force anyone to death. After all, this is still at the feet of the official family. Can he, Song Gui, cover the sky with one hand? I think, if I don’t agree to him, at most I will be beaten up by him, and I will not be able to do business. At most, I will move out of Yangliu Town and go to other places to ask for a living. At most, it will be difficult for a while , you will get through the difficulties in the end. However, if you are engaged to me and want to marry me, I am afraid you will suffer with me, you have to think about it, if there is such a day, will you be able to bear it?"

Xie Erniang raised her head, looked straight into Shunniang's eyes, and said without hesitation: "I can bear it, as long as I can be with you, no matter how hard or tired I am."

Shunniang was moved, and asked again: "You won't regret it, will you?"

Xie Erniang shook her head and said firmly, "No complaints or regrets."

"Okay." Shunniang's eyes were full of mist, she hugged Xie Erniang again, and said in her ear, "Then I will let Matchmaker Jiang come to your house on time on the 23rd to ask your parents to marry you."

On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, Shunniang went to the city to deliver the students, had lunch with Shitou, and then drove the ox cart to the tea house where she met Song Gui that day.In the past few months, she has traveled all over Bianliang City. Basically, she will have an impression of the place she has been to once, and she will not get lost the next time she goes there, and she can find that place accurately.

She remembered that it was around Shen Shichu (after three o'clock in the afternoon) when she met Song Gui a few days ago, so she also went to the tea house where she met Song Gui at that time, and found the private room.

Whoever wanted to go in but didn't see anyone, she wondered if she was late.

So I called Dr. Cha to ask if there were any guests waiting for someone before I came here. Dr. Cha told her that there was no one in this private room and she was the first guest of the day.

Shunniang wondered if Song Gui was late because he had something to do.

Unexpectedly, after waiting inside for almost an hour, Song Gui was not seen coming, not even Song Gui's subordinates, so Shunniang had to come out and pay for the tea, and told the tea doctor to tell him if anyone came to see her later. I have been here before, and I will meet here again tomorrow.

Dr. Tea said hello, and Shunniang left the tea house and drove the ox cart back to Yangliu Town. Along the way, she was thinking why Song Gui made an appointment with her today and asked her to give him a letter, but he Did you miss the appointment?Even if he has something to do, he should send his men down to see him.

Shunniang was going to see Song Gui today with the intention of going to death, and she was ready to be beaten by his subordinates, and he forbade her to send her seeds to Bianliang City, cutting off her financial resources.Unexpectedly, Song Gui did not come.She wondered, could it be that Song Gui changed his mind again, he didn't want himself to marry into the Song family?If this is the case, Shunniang feels that she should really go to the most efficacious temple in Bianliang City to offer incense to the Bodhisattva, and thank the Bodhisattva for letting her escape this disaster...

Back in Yangliu Town, as soon as the ox cart entered the backyard of Xie's house, Erniang Xie rushed over. When she saw that Mrs. Shun was in good health, her high-pitched heart fell to the ground.

She knew that Shunniang was going to see Song Gui today, to have a showdown with him, and to clearly reject Song Gui's proposal to join the Song family. Since Shunniang left in the morning, she has been absent-minded and anxious all day long, unable to eat at all. Tea and rice.She was worried that Shunniang would be embarrassed by Song Gui today, would be beaten, and even seriously injured.

"You...you're okay..." She didn't care about the many people in the yard, she rushed to grab Shunniang's arm and looked her up and down excitedly.

Shunniang told her that she didn't see Song Gui today, he didn't come, and she didn't know what happened.If I went to that tea house tomorrow, if Song Gui or his subordinates still didn't come to see me, maybe the matter of entering the Song family would be over.

"If this is the case, then... that would be great!" Xie Erniang said happily.

Shunniang nodded, looked at her with a smile, and said: "Tomorrow we will continue to do business, let the wind from east to west, north and south, we will stand still."

At the same time, on a painting boat going to the south of the Yangtze River, Cao Qihong and sister Song Yu stood side by side on the bow, watching the coastal scenery with great interest. turtle playing.

Sister Song Yu tightened the cloak on her body and said, "Thanks to Qihong, you took the bottom line, I was able to get rid of those annoying things and have a moment of peace."

Cao Qihong smiled slightly and said: "When your elder brother received your letter, we had already left Bianliang City for more than 200 miles, and it was too late for him to chase after you. If you escape, he can't force Xi Erlang into the Song family." Yes, and what's more, even if the Han family wants to blame the Song family, they have nowhere to blame if you are not here. I think, if we go to Jiangnan for a year or so before going back, if the Han family didn't attack the Song family , your eldest brother will understand that he is worrying for nothing, and this matter is over. Speaking of which, Sister Yu, I think you would rather take my advice and leave your hometown and go to the south of the Yangtze River, and take care of Na Xier. How caring is he. But he is going to marry another little lady, and he doesn't know what good deed he did in his previous life to deserve you to treat him like this?"
