sister-in-law married

Chapter 22

Dongfang Lan read the letter carefully, the iron pen and silver hook on the white paper, the font is vigorous and powerful, it has the unyielding spirit of a man, and also the chic and heroic of the people of the rivers and lakes. Dongfang Lan imagined in his mind the boy who wrote such a font, he How to look, how to behave.

Liu Yuehua's letter was sincere.It writes that he practiced various martial arts in Huashan, and writes that he will return in the near future, hoping to meet Dongfang Lan.Mrs. Dongfang watched her daughter's expression change, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Lan'er." She asked.

Dongfang Lan put down the letter, and said: "I already know what my cousin said, but recently my husband died recently, and there are many things. If my mother meets my cousin, I will just say so."

Mrs. Dongfang was surprised, "You haven't seen him?"

"I just don't want to see you for now."

the same moment.

Liu Yuehua was coming to the Dongfang Mansion, he had been staying at home for half a month, he really didn't have time to visit his seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law, and he had time to breathe after all the people had been dismissed, the first thing he did was to see his cousin.

Counting fingers, time flies.Seven years have passed, and that naughty cousin has grown up. I don't know what she looks like now and what kind of character she is.Liu Yuehua was very much looking forward to meeting again, but was still a little nervous.He touched his head and combed his hair countless times.He touched his body, and the clothes on his body were ironed and closed on him.Touch your face and wipe it clean.

Everything was fine, he was relieved.It's just that the closer he is to Dongfang Mansion, the faster his heart beats, and he laughs at himself that he also has the ability to adjust breath, but he still messes up his mind.

Cousin, she probably didn't realize that she already possessed unique skills.Liu Yuehua smiled slightly, he was no longer a sick child when he was young, even if he ran all over the city, he would not blush and pant.

When he arrived at the Dongfang Mansion, he looked around himself again to make sure that there was nothing wrong, and then he went up to ask the boy at the door. "Excuse me, brother, is this Dongfang Mansion?"

"Exactly."

"Then is your Master Dongfang here? Tell him that Yuehua is here to visit him."

The boy replied: "It's not a coincidence that the young master came, the master and madam have already gone out."

"Then do you know when they will come back?"

The boy shook his head.

Liu Yuehua said: "Then your eldest lady is at the residence?"

The young man replied: "Missy married the eldest son of Shang Shufu a month ago."

"Ah!" Liu Yuehua was lost in disbelief, he staggered and was about to fall, but fortunately he had good concentration, and he stabilized his center of gravity as soon as he stepped back, "How could this be, she didn't wait for me." He continued Asked: "Why did she marry the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion? Is it the order of her parents, or the words of the matchmaker, or is it her own willingness, and the two love each other." Liu Yuehua asked behind, her voice getting weaker and weaker.

The boy said: "Young master, who knows that my eldest lady was forced to marry into the Shangshu's mansion, which good girl would fall in love with a paralyzed couple." He was very emotional, and couldn't figure out why the master would make such a decision. It is said that the Dongfang family even sold their daughter in order to curry favor with the Shangshufu, but if the Dongfang family has benefited, why is the master still frowning?It can be seen that rumors are the least credible.

Liu Yuehua murmured: "She married a paralyzed man." He left before asking which Shangshu mansion he married to. The servant looked at his back and shook his head. There are many foolish people since ancient times. Poor son, poor lady.The threshold of the Dongfang Mansion was almost broken by the matchmaker. Who would have thought that the Dongfang Mansion chose a son-in-law who would die from thousands of choices. Now there are few jokes about the Dongfang Mansion in the capital, and those matchmakers even made these words , spread everywhere, to avenge themselves.

Liu Yuehua walked on the street in a daze, coming here happily, but leaving in a daze, he laughed at himself, "You are so self-righteous, but now my cousin doesn't want you anymore, why don't you come back sooner, why do you always slow down?" Swallow, lose the best time, lose the best time, and never meet the best person again."

Suddenly he heard passers-by on the street talking about the new death of Prince Yuwen. He didn't intend to listen to such nonsense, but the word 'Dongfang Lan' caught his ears, and he couldn't help cheering him up, so he stopped in his tracks.

"Did you hear that Prince Yuwen is dead?"

"Sooner or later, I'm only pitiful for the young lady of the Dongfang family, who will be a widow less than a month after she got married. Poor, pitiful."

The man snorted coldly, "What's so pitiful? If you want to blame it, blame her for having a vain father. This is called self-inflicted suffering, and no one else."

Liu Yuehua went over and asked: "Which Dongfang is the young lady of the Dongfang family you are talking about?" Now he knew that it was Dongfang Lan, but he just refused to believe it.

"Who else is Dongfang Lan?"

Sure enough it was her!

Liu Yuehua was shocked in her heart.His cousin became a widow, is this God's will?God knew he was back, so he let his cousin go free?Liu Yuehua regained his energy, he must see Dongfang Lan when he finds a chance, and he must explain something to her clearly.

Three days later, Yu Wenfeng's coffin was buried in the ground.The spirit send-off team was quite spectacular, those who scattered paper, those who held wreaths, those who carried the coffin carried the coffin, blowing and beating back and forth, surrounded by many people, masters, maids, distant relatives and friends of Yuwen's family.

There was a lot of crying in the team.

When they arrived at the place, put the coffin into the pit dug in advance and shovel the soil to bury it.Mrs. Yuwen looked at the pit, cried to death, and was caught by Yuwen Palace.Soon, a new grave was built on the flat ground, and a stone tablet was erected. Everyone kowtowed and gradually dispersed, leaving only a thousand people in Yuwen Mansion.

After Yu Wenqing kowtowed, he said, "Father, shall we go back too?"

Yuwen Palace said: "Go back."

Yu Wenqing walked to Dongfang Lan, "Sister-in-law, let's go back." Dongfang Lan nodded, the matter is over, just like her life is over, and the future is just a waste of time.What else is there to struggle for? There is no way to get a divorce letter, freedom will always be trapped, and there is no hope for life.

Back at the Shangshu Mansion, everyone wore simple and elegant clothes in addition to their filial piety, and it went on like this for 49 days.Mrs. Yuwen mentioned one thing, the son-in-law has returned to the west, but everyone's life still has to go on.She thought of fighting for Yu Wenqing again.

When I came to the study room of Yuwen Palace today, I said softly: "Master, you promised me something before, but what happened?"

Yu Wendian raised his eyes from the book and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Qing'er has come under my name, Feng'er has gone, I have nothing to look forward to, but to help the master carefully teach Qing'er to grow up."

"Oh, I'll think about it."

Seeing Yuwen Palace agree, Mrs. Yuwen decided to take a step back temporarily.Said: "It's so good, I think the master will definitely consider it properly, then I will go out and do my work."

"Ah."

After Mrs. Yuwen left the study, Yuwendian also put down the book in his hand.Standing up and pacing around the room, the matter of Yu Wenqing was really difficult, now he only has this old man left, he is happy that she is healthy, lively, very cute, smart, and willing to study hard, he can't Don't make good plans for her and seek a future.

Madam Yuwen's words are naturally for her own consideration.But he thought about it, and what she said made sense. You must not let Qing'er be delayed by those who pick out her family. Yu Wenqing's life will not be good in the future, and she can rest assured that the Shangshu Mansion is in her hands.

After figuring it out, Yu Wendian left the study and went to Aunt Li.At this moment, there was an old woman hiding behind the tree, quietly showing half of her face, seeing clearly the whereabouts of Yuwen Temple, hurriedly came out from behind the tree, and reported the news to Mrs. Yuwen.

"Ma'am." Nanny Li said happily, "Master has gone to Aunt Li's."

Mrs. Yuwen said: "That's good."

As long as Yuwen Palace is willing to speak, there is room for turning everything around.

Yu Wendian went to Aunt Li and told her plan. "Mother Qing, I am also thinking about Qing'er, and I know that I have wronged you, but for the sake of the child, we have to sacrifice something for his future, right? Madam has already promised me that it is your mother and son. Everything else is the same as usual, Qing'er wants to see you, or you want to see him, anytime, she just wants a name."

Aunt Li doesn't know that this is for the good of her daughter, but this little thing is her heart, and now it is in someone else's name, even if it is prosperous and rich in the future, it is nothing special.She is not someone who is greedy for these things, but her status in Yuwen Mansion is low, a concubine has no right to compete with the wife, even the child has to be surrendered.

Aunt Li was sad, and said: "I have nothing to say about myself, I will do whatever the master says. In short, it is for Qing'er's good."

"Yes, I am very grateful for your understanding."

Aunt Li was not in trouble here, and Yu Wendian had to say "grateful". Although he is the head of the family, he has to rely on his wife a lot. When he was young, he was just a poor scholar. Marriage, where does the status come from, where does the glory come from, now that the eldest son has passed away, and the youngest son is still young, with his wife supporting him, Yuwen's family, big and small, can survive.

"Madam has worked a lot for Yuwen Mansion. Now that Feng'er is dead, it's like plucking out her heart. You should save her life and let her have hope in life. Qing'er is your son, what is the difference between her and her son?" , as if Qing'er had an extra mother."

Aunt Li said: "Yes, the master is very considerate."

Didn't she just gouge out her heart?

"You have to explain this matter to Qing'er carefully. He is still young. I'm afraid that if he doesn't accept it, his heart will rebound and Madam won't come down." Yu Wendian carefully instructed.What else can Aunt Li say, this is not 'people make knives, I am fish', or people can do whatever they want, she just bowed her head and answered 'yes'.

After sending Yu Wendian away, Aunt Li asked Bai Yun to call Yu Wenqing over, "Just say that I have something to say to her, and tell her to come here quickly."

Bai Yun said: "Yes." He went to Gongming Pavilion to find Yu Wenqing.
