If Xie Ling didn't want to say it, Bai Shu would naturally not force him.

Seeing that Xie Ling was not in good spirits, he asked him to go back to his room to rest, so he didn't have to insist on entertaining guests here.

Xie Ling thanked him, but he also didn't want to force a smile here at this time, so he went back to the yard.

Bai Shu was surrounded by a group of people complimenting her, almost breathless.

He was really impatient to entertain those relatives of the Xie family, and Xie Qin couldn't handle it alone, so he called Lin Shuyu over, told him that he had something important to do, introduced him to everyone, and asked him to help entertain them. .

Lin Shuyu is fluent in all aspects, and can answer a few questions about everything.The family members of the Xie family saw that Bai Shu seemed to value him very much, and they were not so sensitive to his identity.

Some of the courtiers who looked down on him before, but after listening to his words with evidence, they didn't feel so much hostility towards him now, so Bai Shu slipped back to his yard to relax.

After Bai Shu left, many family members listened to the opera together, and chatted about the latest popular dialects in Beijing.

These girls in deep boudoirs usually don't go far away, staying at home is boring, either making a bunch of playing cards, or gossip and gossip.

Those who are literate must read the latest scripts.After reading it, it is quite a face-saving thing to tell others.

Among them, a girl from the side branch told the story of the matchmaker. This story is an old one, and almost everyone here, whether literate or illiterate, has heard it.

However, in the Great Xuan Dynasty, the marriage between the daughters of the aristocratic families and their elder brothers was involuntary, so the stories of such talented men and beautiful women always made them never tire of hearing them, and someone told them every year.

After the girl had told it, another woman about her age came out and said, "Although the story of the matchmaker is good, I have heard it many times. But I have heard a new one recently. The protagonist is a Brother, the story is full of ups and downs, it is really exciting, I don’t know if you have heard it before.”

The woman was illiterate, and she also listened to others.But as soon as she opened her mouth, someone immediately replied: "You are talking about the book written by Mr. Lin Mo? The protagonist is a brother named Su Yu?"

The woman nodded immediately and said, "I don't know which gentleman wrote it, but the protagonist is called Su Yu!"

All of a sudden, several people had seen or heard about it, and everyone started discussing it excitedly, having a good time talking.

Lin Shuyu heard it from the side at this time, and her heart was pounding. She felt that what they were talking about seemed to be the notebook she wrote, but she couldn't confirm it.

He went to the bookstore that day and saw with his own eyes that none of the books could be sold, and he was scolded by those book buyers. He felt very sad, and he didn't want to mention this book again when he came back.

Hearing these girls mention it today, I was excited and nervous at the same time, I was afraid that they were discussing other books, and I was being self-indulgent.

"May I ask you girls, what is the content of the book you mentioned?" Lin Shuyu couldn't help asking.

When the girls heard this, one of them came out and said, "Nowadays, that book is popular in Beijing, and you haven't heard of it yet, so I'll tell you about it."

She seemed to like the book very much, and she was very excited about it, so she told the stories in the Su language for everyone to listen to.

When the family members heard that Su Yu was originally a brother from the family, but was sold into a brothel, they couldn't help sighing: "The writing in this book is really cruel. Those who come from a good family can do it overnight. I'm a poor fellow, if I'm afraid I'll commit suicide."

After hearing that Mr. Qian stopped talking to Su Yu because of the downfall of the Su family, another person burst into tears and said, "This Mr. Qian was so kind to Su Yu before, and he spent time with him, but now he turned his back on him." It’s too hurtful not to recognize people.”

What's more, those women and brothers who have already been married, touched their own life experience, their noses were sour, and their hearts were extremely sighed.

Before they got married, they had those moments of deep affection with their husbands, but after they got married, they brought concubines home one after another, and they had long since forgotten their previous vows.

Then the woman who was deeply touched said: "I don't know who wrote this book, and how well it describes the thoughts of the brother and the woman. When I heard this story, it was as if I had experienced it myself."

When it comes to Su Yu being redeemed by Mr. Wu from the brothel, these women and brothers are very happy again, thinking that this brother finally has a fruit, and everyone is happy.

If it was an ordinary notebook, it would be finished here, but this notebook is only half written.

There was also a period of deep affection between Su Yu and Mr. Wu. Although Mr. Wu had a wife and concubine, he did not take Su Yu home, but he bought Su Yu a house outside and often gave him a house. Money, I often come here to visit, and I treat him well.

But the good times didn't last long. After Su Yu became pregnant with the Wu family's child, Mr. Wu was happy for two days at first.But because he couldn't have intercourse during pregnancy, Mr. Wu was not interested, so he came less and less.

Later, Mr. Wu fell in love with another brother in the brothel, and that brother was younger and more beautiful.Mr. Wu fell in love with him, so he forgot about Su Yu who was already pregnant with Liujia.

Because the number of Mr. Wu came less, the Su language had no money to spend, and life was extremely difficult.

He started to pawn the things in the house to live, pawned all his hair and jewelry, and even used up the little capital he brought out of the brothel.

Su Yu's original affection for Mr. Wu gradually died, and he just felt that Mr. Wu was no different from Mr. Qian. Men in the world are always the same.

At this point in the story, everyone heard that Su Yu had pawned off the house and gave birth alone on a wooden bed on a snowy night.

Everyone fell silent, thinking of themselves again, what if they were Su Yu?Marriage between a woman and a brother is like reincarnation. If the reincarnation is not good, is it a dead end? If Su Yu gave birth to a child, if Mr. Wu still can't remember him, wouldn't he be sure to die?

However, when the story came to a dead end, it turned bright again. ,

After Su Yu gave birth, his whole body was exhausted and weak, but he did not seek death.

He took the scissors and cut the umbilical cord himself, saving the baby.Since there was nothing to eat and no milk, Su Yu had to go out to earn money.

At this time, it is the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is about to come, and every household has to hang couplets.

Su Yu wrote excellent handwriting and could compose poems, so she went out and set up a stall to help people write couplets to make money.

He looked tender, but because the fee was cheap, many people came to him to write Spring Festival couplets, so that he could earn some money and have food rations.

It's just that although Su Yu made money, he was discovered by members of the Wu family.

Mr. Wu heard that Su Yu showed his face outside, and thought that he was born in a brothel. He was very displeased. He only thought that he was not a woman, so he dragged him back home, beat him severely, almost Beat to death.

Although Su Yu gave birth to a child, the child was not born out of wedlock, so it was not a glorious thing, and Mr. Wu did not feel sorry for the child, wishing that the child would starve to death.

So after venting for a while, there was no money left behind, only the dying Su Yu and the hungry crying child, and they locked the door and left.

When the story reaches here, it is the original ending of Lin Shuyu.It's just that he heard Bai Shu's words, thought for a long time, but changed the ending.

Su Yu was not killed. Although he was seriously injured, he still struggled to get up when he heard the cry of the child, and fed the child with milk.

He looked at his face in the bronze mirror, feeling disheartened.

Heartbroken, he took out a pair of scissors, burned them red over the candlelight, pointed them at his forehead, and wrung off the red pregnancy mole between his eyebrows.

Without the mole, there is no proof of my brother's identity.Su Yu treated himself like a man, hugged the child, and quietly fled the yard over the wall.

Three days later, the Wu family sent people to check again, only to find that the yard was empty, Su Yu and the child were gone.

They hurriedly sent people to look for it, and searched the entire capital, but found nothing.

It turned out that Su Yu had already sailed south by boat, heading towards Nanyang...

At this point, the whole story is over, and a group of women and brothers are sighing after hearing it.

After hearing this, someone said: "This Su Yu is so courageous, actually... he ran away with the child like this, and he was not afraid of being caught by the Wu family. The journey was difficult and dangerous, and one of his elder brothers took him with him. A child, how can he live?"

Someone else said: "I think this Su Yu is very brave. If he stays in that yard, he will die. He did this to save his own child."

"That's true." Someone nodded and said, "Su Yu can write, and now he has no pregnancy moles, and he is no different from a man. In the future, he will make a living by writing for others, and he will never starve to death. What can he do?" worried."

Everyone had a heated discussion. Some people thought that what Su Yu did was too shocking, while others thought that what he did was justifiable, and what he did was within reason.

In the end, there were many more people who sympathized with and supported Su Yu than those who opposed it. Lin Shuyu listened and felt very comforted.

When he wrote this book, he originally projected many aspects of himself.

Those people agreed with Su Yu, and hearing it in his heart, it was as if they agreed with him, which made his eyes flush and a sense of pride arose.

Lin Shuyu had a passion in her heart, and she didn't know who to tell it to.

He got up, and in the name of convenience, went to Baishu Academy, wanting to talk to him.

But he saw Bai Zhu who said he still had something important to do was sitting in the yard eating ice with his feet up, Chang Xi and Chang Le were beside him fanning cattail leaf for him.

Lin Shuyu: "..."

Bai Shu: "..."

Bai Shu was also a little embarrassed to be caught for being lazy.

So someone scooped up a bowl of ice for Lin Shuyu, drizzled the sauce made of fruit and said, "You also come to eat some ice to relieve the heat. But what's going on over there?"

Lin Shuyu shook her head and said, "No, it's just that my previous book seems to have been sold. Just now... I heard someone talking about it just now."

At this moment, Bai Shu slapped his forehead and said: "It is indeed sold, look at me, but I forgot about it."

That book only made 30 taels, and he was busy dealing with Xie Ling's matter that day, so he completely forgot about it.

Lin Shuyu didn't expect Bai Shu to know about it, so she was taken aback for a moment.

Seeing that Bai Shu asked Chang Le to come over with 30 taels of silver, he said, "It's earned from that book. Although it's not much, it's the first time you got it yourself. Keep it as a souvenir."

He went on to say: "The owner of the bookstore asked me to print another [-] volumes, and I agreed on your behalf. In a few days, I will ask Yulang to see how many volumes of the volume have been sold. "

Lin Shuyu didn't expect that there would be a reprint, and her heart was full of enthusiasm.

He took the money from Chang Le.It's only 30 taels, just half a month's silver for him.

But when she thought that the money was earned by herself and had a different meaning, Lin Shuyu cherished the money and accepted it.

"Your notebook is well written, don't let it go to waste, and continue to write when you have free time in the future." Bai Shu said: "I said earlier that your notebook is fine."

Lin Shuyu nodded, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he regained his confidence.

Just now he had heard those people highly praised Mr. Lin Mo.It turns out that it feels so good to be praised for my talent and learning.

Bai Shu let Lin Shuyu eat the ice, so he blinked at him and said, "You are better than me at this matter, you can help me with it for a while, let me hide..."

Lin Shuyu thought it was funny, nodded her head, and only said to let Baishu rest well, and then go out after the banquet at noon.

Lin Shuyu didn't know that Bai Shu was pregnant now, but Bai Shu treated him well, and he was naturally willing to reciprocate.

It's just such a small matter, it can't stop him, let Bai Shu relax.

After seeing Xie Ling, Wei Qiong returned home in a daze.

Shut himself in the room and didn't come out for dinner.

When Wei Han and Mrs. Wei came back from Wen's house, their faces were full of joy, and they felt that the matter between Wei Qiong and Wen Xiu'e should be settled.

Seeing that Wei Qiong stayed behind closed doors, he didn't take it too seriously, but thought that it was just a moment of impatience, and if he stayed for a while and forgot about Xie Ling, it would be fine.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it rained several times in a row.Wei's house has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are inevitably some leaks.

Because Wei Ling will get married in the next year, Lord Wei Hou discussed with Mrs. Wei, but decided to renovate the Wei Mansion.

Many craftsmen and workers were invited for the renovation of the Wei family. They turned over one yard after another, starting from the yards of Wei Houye and Mrs. Wei, starting one by one, and then arrived at the yard where the young lady and buddies lived.

The unmarried ladies and buddies of the Wei family all live together.Mrs. Wei moved them to another yard and sent people to start construction.

When the construction started, a pearl hairpin was dug out in the barren well in the backyard.

Someone showed the pearl hairpin to Mrs. Wei, and she immediately recognized that it was the same pearl hairpin that Wei Jiangshi had made a fuss about missing.

It's just that for some reason, it landed in the yard of the lady and her buddies.

Mrs. Wei remembered that Wei Jiangshi had made a big fuss in Xie's shop because of this pearl hairpin, and went over herself to talk to Mrs. Wen about Wei Qiong's marriage, so she felt a little against her.

So he took the pearl hairpin and took it out for dinner, trying to teach Wei Jiangshi a lesson.

She took out the pearl hairpin in front of everyone and said: "brothers and sisters, look, this is your pearl hairpin? Today, some workers dug it from the barren well at home, and somehow got it into the children's yard. You see, at the beginning Qiong'er guessed that she was picked up by the servants of the family, you still don't believe it. Look at the new pearl hairpin on your head today, but we have taken advantage of the Xie family."

Wei Jiangshi's face was flushed by what was said, and she wore a new hairpin on her head, which was an apology sent by the Xie family two days ago.Made of pure gold, the five-color south beads on it are two points larger than those on the original pearl hairpin.

Wei Jiangshi liked it very much when he saw it, and couldn't wait to put it on his head.

Now that the old hairpin is found, it is to let her know that she wronged him by making trouble for no reason, and slapped her in the face severely.

"This... this pearl hairpin is fine, why did it go to the children's yard." Wei Jiangshi said with a stiff face: "Sister-in-law, you have to check carefully, I don't know who are the people in the children's yard. Unexpectedly, such hands and feet are not clean."

Hearing what Wei Jiangshi said, Wei Yu's face turned pale, and he glanced at Wei Qiong with some guilt, and his eyes met him.

Wei Qiong was also at the banquet, paying attention to the matter of the pearl hairpin, and caught Wei Yu's expression at a glance.

When he came back that day, he didn't bring any servants with him, and he accidentally bumped into Wei Yu, and he didn't bring a servant girl with him either.

He obviously checked the surroundings, but did not see anything left behind, but now the pearl hairpin has gone into the barren well...

Wei Qiong had a doubt in his heart, but there was no evidence, so he had to suppress it secretly, and would investigate later.

Until this supper is over.When everyone wanted to go back to their own courtyards, Wei Qiong stopped Wei Yu and took him to a remote courtyard.

From a distance, Wei Ling saw the movement between the two, and couldn't help but be a little concerned, so she sent a maid over to let her watch and follow them, and listen to what they had to say.

The maid sneaked to the back of the courtyard, and saw Wei Qiong left the maid and the servant of the two outside the courtyard, standing in the courtyard with Wei Yu, and forced Wei Yu to ask, "Tell me the truth, is that pearl hairpin?" Didn't you throw it into the well?"

The children of the same generation of the Wei family all have a very good relationship. The age difference between Wei Yu and Wei Qiong is not that big. Although the two of them are not as close as Wei Qiong and Wei Ling, they still have some affection.

Seeing that Wei Yu clenched his lips and remained silent, Wei Qiong lied to him: "You said it yourself, and I promise not to spread it to the outside world. If you don't say it, I will tell my aunt and let her investigate this matter in detail. , if you think about it, you can get to the bottom of it.”

Wei Yu finally became anxious when she heard the words, and said quickly, "It's me! Third brother, don't tell your mother. If she finds out, she will definitely punish me severely."

Wei Qiong felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't know what it was like.

He let out a long sigh, shook his head and took two steps back, looked at Wei Yu and said, "Although we didn't come from the same room, we grew up together anyway, why did you hurt me so much!"

Wei Yu hurriedly distinguished after hearing the words: "I am not harming you, third brother. The elder brother of the Xie family is not good. Now that you have settled with sister Wen family, isn't it better than the Xie family? I am also for your own good. "

Wei Qiong smiled coldly, and said lightly: "It's absurd that you have the nerve to say that it's for my own good when you do such a thing. It will not appear in my Wei family. I just found out today that my Wei family is friendly on the surface, and it is no different from other families in private."

"Forget it, it's no wonder that Brother Xie doesn't want to marry me. He really can see clearly. Otherwise, if he really gets married, he doesn't know how he will be tortured. It's because I have no destiny with him, and this family really let me I'm bored, I can't stay any longer." After Wei Qiong finished speaking, she turned her head and left.

Wei Yu called Third Brother twice behind him, chased after him, grabbed his sleeve and begged in a low voice: "You promised me, don't tell mother about this."

Wei Qiong gave him a cold look, no brotherly affection in his eyes, and said sarcastically: "I, Wei Qiong, learned the way of a gentleman, and I will do what I say, so I won't be like you."

After finishing speaking, he shook off Wei Yu's grasping hand and left.

The servant girl didn't expect to see such Xinmi by herself, so she hurried back and told her master Wei Ling.

Wei Ling closed her eyes, and sighed after a long time: "Only you and I know about this matter, you must never tell a third person, if I find out, other people will know, whether you said it or not, I will You are the only one asking."

"Yes!" the maid said quickly, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Wei Ling comforted her again, and rewarded her with some money.

Wei Yu has a very good relationship with her, but this matter is unusual.

For the sake of the overall situation of the Wei family, Wei Ling had no choice but to tell Mrs. Wei about it.

Mrs. Wei was very angry when she learned the reason of this matter, she threw a teacup on the table and said, "Although Yu'er is not my own, but I watched him grow up. I thought he was obedient at first, but now it seems, But I misjudged the person! This kind of thinking at home has disturbed the Wei family's house, and this child can no longer be left!"

"Mother!" Wei Ling listened to Mrs. Wei's words, but still wanted to plead for Wei Yu: "Although Yu'er was wrong, it was also because of grudges against the Xie family. Give him a chance."

Mrs. Wei shook her head, and said to Wei Ling: "Ling'er, you grew up in the Wei family, and I protected you very well. You go to the capital to have a look, and look around, which concubine's children have The treatment of my Wei family? I know you are thinking about the relationship with his brother and sister, but he is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and he is not worthy of you. When you get married in the future, you must learn to break up and break up. Let me teach you a lesson."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wei called Wei Yu over.

Wei Yu was suddenly found by Mrs. Wei, seeing her complexion, she was afraid that Wei Qiong would sue him, and she was trembling in her heart.

"Yu'er, you kneel down, do you know your mistake?" Mrs. Wei asked sharply.

Wei Yu knelt down at once, guessing that Madam Wei probably knew about it, she was terrified in her heart, and tears fell to the ground like beads.

"Yu'er, you are the heir of the Wei family, but you have blamed your own family for the grievances you have suffered from outsiders. How dare you let me keep you at home again?" Madam Wei said.

"Mother! I was wrong! Forgive me!" Hearing what Madam Wei said, Wei Yu didn't know how she would deal with herself, so she couldn't help pleading with Madam Wei all the time.

Mrs. Wei has always treated him generously, no worse than his own biological mother. Although he was in awe of Mrs. Wei, he also felt that Mrs. Wei would not really treat him very well.

Mrs. Wei shook her head and said: "If it's something else, I can still forgive you. But you know that your father and I want to marry the Xie family, but you obstruct it. You don't regard yourself as the Wei family."

"In this case, my Wei family can't keep your big Buddha." Mrs. Wei said: "You are still young. Although you haven't chosen a good husband and son-in-law for a while, I still plan to let you choose slowly. Now that this happened , I'd better take you out earlier."

As Mrs. Wei said, she took out five sheets, handed them to Wei Yu and said, "Here are five people's horoscopes and personal profiles. Someone came to your door to say hello to you recently. Originally, I didn't like any of them. I want to suppress all of them, so you can choose one of them today, and get married in a few days."

Wei Yu was startled, and took the five lists in a daze.

I saw that among the five people, although two were descendants of aristocratic families, they were almost old and wanted to take him as a concubine.

The other two were just merchants or small households. Although they accepted him as the wife, they were from families with no future, and the betrothal gifts were not many.

In the end, there was another person whose family background was not too bad, and who had just passed his age. Although he was accepted as a concubine, the dowry was quite a lot.It's just that that person is a frequent visitor to Huajie and Liuxiang, and his wife is also jealous, so he is definitely not a good person.

In Wei Yu's eyes, the qualifications of these five people are not in his eyes, but Mrs. Wei asked him to choose one of them!

"Mother! You spared me! I don't want to marry!" Wei Yu wept bitterly, knelt and crawled to Mrs. Wei's feet, begging her to do her a favor.

The author has something to say: Mrs. Wei should break it up~ she married Wei Yu, she is a big woman who puts the Wei family first.
