Chapter 6
Mrs. Mou probably didn't sleep well in the past few days, she looked a little haggard, and her eyes were slightly bloodshot, which made Su Yuan very puzzled, but she didn't want to ask too many questions.
One old and one young said a few polite words, Mrs. Mou was worried that her son would return soon, and she really suffered from eating and sleeping for a few days, so it was rare to get straight to the point and speak clearly.
"Miss Su, I heard that you came to seek refuge with Granny Wu from a far away place. You must have no parents at home, right? Marriage should be ordered by your parents and a matchmaker, but you are alone, and you are a capable person." , I can definitely do something on my own. Today, the old man retains you, one is to apologize for the previous concubine, and the other is to sincerely want to marry you as my son's wife and enter my Mou family as a wife. I don't know What do you think, girl?"
"What?" Su Yuan was a little confused before, but then her eyes widened in shock. She really couldn't understand why the Mou family was so rich, so why did they take a fancy to her as a country girl.He failed to take a concubine before, but now he wants to marry her directly. With such a big pie on his head, even a fool would suspect that it is a trap...
"Old lady, the Mou family has been rich for generations, and I, a peasant girl, can't afford it. If you have nothing to do, I'd like to tell you a few funny things about the market, but it's better not to say such jokes."
Mrs. Mou was impatient when she heard this, and blurted out: "Could it be that the young lady doesn't like my son?"
Su Yuan remembered how many times she had been with Mou Yi, and couldn't help but blush, and replied hesitantly: "That's not true, Erye Mou is a gentleman, his character is precious, and I can't afford it."
Madam Mou was relieved, and after thinking about it, she told the truth.
"Speaking of my son, I am also pitiful. He was smart since he was a child, and he was excellent in reading and martial arts. The old man saw how happy he was, so he decided to make a marriage for him, but just after the engagement ceremony, the girl suffered a sudden illness and died. Seeing that he has reached his age, my master and I made another marriage for him, and this time we got married smoothly, and my daughter-in-law was also pregnant, unexpectedly... Sigh."
She sighed heavily, and her expression darkened, which made Su Yuan Gao aroused, and was not good at urging her.
Fortunately, Mrs. Mou wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief and continued. "My daughter-in-law is also unlucky. She had a hard time giving birth and took my grandson who has never seen the world. Some unscrupulous people in the capital may be jealous of our Mou family and spread rumors about me. My son overwhelmed my wife. Originally, there was a family acquaintance who wanted to discuss marriage after my son passed his filial piety. Later, due to too many rumors, I didn’t make any noise. My son didn’t say anything, but how could he not be bitter in his heart, I hate that I can’t help at all Later, my master passed away again, and my son Ding You gave a memorial, resigned from his errand, and accompanied me back to my hometown to observe filial piety."
The old lady said it sadly, and after a long pause, she said again: "To be honest with Miss Su, speaking of it, I also have selfish intentions, I hope you can take care of brother Fukun when you marry, but it's mostly because my son treats you differently. In the past two years, I have never seen him laugh so happily when chatting with others."
After hearing this, Su Yuan felt really mixed feelings. She never knew that a man with such a gentle smile could bear so much pain.However, the accusation of wife-killing is really too much. When I think about it seriously, it's just a coincidence.
But as the saying goes, where there are people, there must be rivers and lakes.The Mou family is in a power field like Kyoto, and they bear the title of earl, and Mou Yi is responsible for the safety of the palace. How can there be fewer opponents and enemies?How can such a coincidence be caught by someone with a heart, so how can it be known to the world.
No wonder he looked older than himself, but he was still alone. It turned out that there was such a reason.
However, even in the name of being a wife, it is still a bit far-fetched for Mou Yi, an earl who is Ding You, to marry her, a wild girl from a farm.
Seeing that Su Yuan didn't respond for a while, Mrs. Mou thought she was frightened by her son's reputation as a wife, and she regretted it very much, so she hurriedly remedied: "Miss Su, don't believe those rumors. I have asked eminent monks to do it. My son There is no fault at all, it is really that those women were not blessed, and the girl is blessed with deep blessings, so she will definitely be fine."
Su Yuan grinned when she heard this, and she still wanted to refuse, but for some reason, the scene of getting along with Mou Yi always flashed in her mind, which made her really upset, so she said perfunctorily: "These rumors are naturally inaccurate. I have also been unfairly wronged. It’s just such a big matter, I have to ask my mother-in-law, I really can’t answer the old lady right away, I hope the old lady will forgive me.”
Although the old lady was a little disappointed, she was reluctantly satisfied when she heard that Su Yuan didn't refuse outright, and replied: "It's right to tell the elders, I wait for the girl's news."
Su Yuan answered a few more words at random and hurriedly left. After walking halfway with a maid, she happened to meet Mou Yi who was coming back from the warehouse.
Seeing her walking out, he asked, "Miss Su, why don't you sit a little longer?"
Su Yuan couldn't help but blush when she thought about what happened just now, and said vaguely: "Grandma feels uncomfortable getting up early, I'm anxious to go back and take care of her, so I won't bother you any more." After that, she saluted casually and went out.
The doubts in Mou Yi's eyes deepened, and after thinking about it, he ordered the servant behind him, "Let Mou Qing and Mou Wu prepare a car to take Miss Su back."
The servant responded and trotted after Su Yuan, leaving Mou Yi carrying the box to the main room.
Mrs. Mou was drinking tea at the moment, feeling uneasy, not knowing whether what she did today was wrong or right, suddenly seeing her son come in, she felt a little guilty, and before her son asked questions, she said she had a headache and wanted to sleep.
Mou Yi had no choice but to put down the jewelry box and told the maid to take good care of her mother.
Su Yuan sat all the way in the carriage, her face was still flushed, and her heart beat as fast as a drum.
Even in her original time and space, it was rare for a mother to directly say "marry my son" to a girl, not to mention that she had never been in a relationship since she was a child. Feel a little weird, but a little excited.
She couldn't help but patted her hot face hard, and shook her head vigorously, finally feeling a little more awake.
The old adage says that the right family is right, and there is absolutely truth to it.The living environment and the growth process are very different. Just because of love, there will be many conflicts when getting along with each other. What's more, she and Mou Yi have no love, at best they have a good relationship... But the family status is very different .
The Mou family has been rich and honored for many generations, and she grew up in an ordinary family in modern times. She is taken in by her mother-in-law here, and she is even poorer. No matter how you look at it, it is not suitable.
Perhaps the carriage was going fast, but Su Yuan saw the shadow of Sanli Village in the distance before Su Yuan got her emotions in order. Thinking of her mother-in-law's rage that day, she felt a little uneasy, for fear that Granny Wu would lose her marriage because of her private discussion with Mrs. Mou. Out of reserve and annoyed.
As soon as they turned into the village entrance, Mou Qing and Mou Wu, who were driving the car, knocked on the wall of the car and said: "Miss Su, come down and have a look, it seems that something happened at your house!"
"What?!" When Su Yuan heard this, she couldn't care less about other things, so she lifted the curtain of the car with one hand and poked her head out.
The Wu family lives in the westernmost part of Sanli Village, close to the main road. Although the thatched house is dilapidated, the yard is spacious.At the moment, he was surrounded by villagers.Even though people with acute illnesses came to seek medical treatment and many villagers came to watch the fun, this was the first time they looked like this, and it was obvious that something serious happened at home.
Su Yuan couldn't hold back her temper, pushed open the car door and jumped off, then ran home with the hem of her skirt lifted.
Mou Qing and Mou Wu discussed it in a low voice. They are not fools. They can see that their master treats Miss Su differently. If they stand by and watch today, they may be punished when they go back. Why don't they just go and have a look? Good fate, what if one day in the future I get a good karma because of this matter.
The two tied the carriage to a tree beside the road, and squeezed into the courtyard of Wu's house.
I saw Granny Wu lying halfway by the wall, her head was bloody and bloody from the collision for some reason, her face was pale, and her expression was in a daze. Su Yuanzheng hugged her tearfully and called out cautiously.A few women who looked like neighbors were also angrily helping to pass cloth towels to cover the wound, mumbling in their mouths, obviously telling the whole story.
On the other side, a few people who looked like servants were cursing and smashing wantonly, ranging from tables and chairs to bowls and bowls, all of which were smashed to pieces, and no one was spared.
Mou Qing and Mou Wu frowned. The Mou family is also one of the best families in the capital, and they are people who can be used by the second master, but they don't have such domineering and domineering times.I don't want to see a farce of bullies oppressing the people in the small Sanli Village today.
"Stop!" Mou Qing yelled, and scolded with a dark face: "Who are you, you actually smashed up the peasants in broad daylight, don't you have any laws?"
Hearing this, a young man who was standing in the corner of the courtyard put down the snuff bottle in his hand, walked over in four directions, looked Mou Qing and Mou Wu up and down several times, then raised his chin and said disdainfully: " Who are you, dare to meddle in my Zhang family's business?"
Mou Qing has been courageous since he was a child, and has martial arts skills. How could he see such a slave who is arrogant? He smiled coldly and mocked: "The Zhang family? Which Zhang family? Could it be that the Zhang family is a relative of the emperor, so Why don’t you take the laws of Chilong Kingdom into consideration?”
The steward of Zhang's family turned dark when he was blocked, and said angrily: "The spring grass didn't grow very high, where did you come out like a talkative donkey, and didn't even ask about it? Our Zhang family is the richest man in Wanshi City. If you dare to meddle in business, be careful Which day...huh!"
"Yo, what's the matter? Our brothers took care of the injustice today, and the Zhang family wants to put us to death?"
As a brother, Mou Wu naturally wouldn't look at Mou Qing fighting alone, so he opened his mouth and snatched a few words from Guanshi Zhang.
The villagers on the side were already arguing for the Wu family's grievances. Seeing someone stand out now, they naturally echoed, "That's right, killing people is nothing but nodding. You smash and beat, what else do you want? Let's talk about it." , the child in your family has been sick for some time. Our Aunt Wu is capable of curing it. If it is not cured, God will accept people. Why do you blame Aunt Wu? If you are so rude again, we will go The county government beat the drums to cry out for grievances!"
Guanshi Zhang originally wanted to swear a few more words, but he was a little afraid of losing money when he saw the villagers swarming up, so he spat hard, pointed at Granny Wu who had just woken up, and cursed: "Old lady, you are lucky. If you are kind-hearted, I will let you go, and if you dare to go out and harm others in the future, see if I..."
Halfway through his words, the corner of his eyes glanced at the young girl beside Granny Wu, and she immediately shuddered. What kind of eyes did she have? It was like the horse he saw that had been starving for the winter with his master when he went hunting in the mountains last spring. The wild wolf with hatred and fierce eyes could crush his bones at any time!
The threatening words that came to his mouth were subconsciously swallowed by him, and he could only wave his hands to greet the servants, "Let's go back to the city!"
The villagers wished they could leave immediately, so they quickly moved out of the way, and neither Mou Qing nor Mou Wu stopped them.
Manager Zhang probably felt that he was a little embarrassed by being frightened by a girl. When he walked to the door, he turned his head and looked at the wall. He saw the fair and slightly fat girl squatting on her back and entering the room with Granny Wu on her back. Like a gentle and filial daughter, she doesn't have the vicious look just now.
Could it be that my eyesight was wrong?
Full of doubts and annoyances, Manager Zhang led the people away quickly and disappeared. After discussing with Mou Wu, Mou Qing and Mou Wu deeply felt that this matter should be reported to the master, so they wanted to go back to the city.
Su Yuan went out of the yard first to find them, and he should first salute and thank them, "You two big brothers, just now thank you for your righteous words."
"Don't dare, don't dare. Miss Su has spoiled the little ones, our little master depends on your diagnosis and treatment, so it should be."
Mou Qing and Mou Wu didn't dare to accept the ceremony, they hurriedly avoided it.
Seeing this, Su Yuan didn't stop them, calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Please send a letter to the old lady when the two elder brothers go back."
While talking, she handed the envelope with the still ink in her hand to Mou Qing.Mou Qing was puzzled, wondering what else she would tell the old lady when such an accident happened at home, but he couldn't refuse it because of his emotions and reasons, so he quickly accepted it.
He carefully stuffed the letter into his bosom, and replied: "Miss, don't worry, the little one will definitely be handed over to the old lady."
Su Yuan's expression was strange, he seemed to be hesitant but with a bit of ruthlessness, and finally nodded and said: "Then I will thank you two, I can't keep you two for tea today because of something at home, and I will thank you in the future."
"Don't dare, dare not. The girl is polite, and we will go back to the city now."
Mou Qing and Mou Wu saluted respectfully, then quickly untied the carriage and went back. ''
The two of them were very curious along the way, but they didn't dare to open the letter privately, so they could only hurry back, hoping to guess something from the words and deeds of the masters, but it's a pity that as soon as they entered the gate, they heard the porter say that the second master Went to the banquet, so the two had to go to the second gate to report and wait for the inner courtyard to communicate.
Mrs. Mou made an excuse to take a nap, but she couldn't really sleep soundly. Almost as soon as her son went out, someone picked up her grandson, teased her to talk, and even led him around the house by herself. Seeing that his face was much ruddy, It is much better than the previous panting appearance, and my heart is three points firmer about the previous matter.
Hearing that Mou Qing and Mou Wu came back with a letter, they naturally invited them in to answer.
The letter Su Yuan wrote in a hurry did not have too many polite and false words, and he agreed to the marriage directly, and put forward two conditions. One is that after entering the door, Mou Yi cannot accept any concubines without her consent; The Mou family could not stop her from continuing to practice medicine.
Even though Mrs. Mou was not as shrewd and ruthless as other mistresses, after all, she had eaten rice for decades, and she still had some plans, so she almost put down the letter paper and immediately asked, "Did something happen to the Wu family? "
Both Mou Qing and Mou Wu were a little surprised, and naturally they were even more respectful. The representative of Mou Qing replied: "The old lady guessed right. Some people threatened that Granny Wu made a mistake in her diagnosis and treatment, lost the lives of the children in her family, smashed the Wu family's yard, and even Granny Wu was also injured. When I was sending Miss Su back, I bumped into her and scared those people away. If I was reckless, I hope the old lady will forgive me."
After that, the two knelt down.
Mrs. Mou frowned, thought for a while, and then raised her hand to signal the two of them to get up, "Not only are you in the early days, but you have made great achievements. There are no secrets in this city. I don't know how many people know that the family has invited the grandparents of the Wu family to come to Kun. Brother, if it is reported that our family sits on the sidelines, it will be too cold, and it will also hinder the reputation of the family. I will go to the accountant to collect five taels of silver each, and send a reply letter to Miss Su for me."
Mou Qing and Mou Wu were overjoyed, kowtowed quickly to express their thanks, and finally stood up and waited aside.
Long ago, a clever maid laid out the paper and polished the ink. Mrs. Mou wrote a few lines, sealed it and handed it to Mou Qing.
Mou Qing put it away carefully, and with Mou Wuxi diligently withdrew to collect the money, and then rushed to Sanli Village.
In the courtyard of the Wu family, a group of neighbors had just retreated, and several aunts and aunts who were close to each other on weekdays were also busy going home to cook and feed the pigs, leaving Su Yuan to stay by the side of Granny Wu who was still in a daze, slowly feeding her with warm water.
Granny Wu rested for a while, her expression finally cleared up, she raised her hand to touch her forehead, it was neatly bandaged, and she smelled the fragrance of medicine faintly, so she couldn't help complaining.
"You girl, it's just a small wound, just use the ointment in that blue bottle, why did you sprinkle this gold powder, you don't know how many good medicinal materials are used for this, it's expensive..."
"Wow, mother-in-law!"
Su Yuan was worried for a long time, and finally heard Granny Wu's nagging, how could she bear it, hugged Granny Wu's arm, tears poured out like the tide breaking a bank.
"What happened to my mother-in-law? How did you get hurt? You tell me, I want to avenge you!
"Stupid child." Granny Wu's eyes were also red, and what happened today is an unreasonable disaster. When she went to Zhang's house for a doctor's visit, she saw that the child had suffered from chronic poisoning. There are so many dirty and secret things in the backyard of rich families. She didn't want to It should be touched, but it is really pitiful that the child is young, so he prescribed a detoxification prescription. I don't want the child to survive, the Zhang family is afraid that the family scandal will be exposed, so they send someone to call the door, first to warn her to shut up, and secondly It is also a cover-up.
After Su Yuan heard the whole story, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Granny Wu was afraid that she might get angry, so she hurriedly persuaded her, "It's all mothers-in-law who shouldn't be soft-hearted. In the future, when you go out to practice medicine, you should also take this matter as a warning. The richer you are, the more careful you are when you seek medical treatment."
"Mother-in-law is saying... let's forget about today's matter?" Su Yuan sat up straight and wiped her tears, "No, this matter absolutely cannot be counted. My mother-in-law was wronged and beaten, and I want revenge!"
How can a poor family have the qualifications to seek justice?
Granny Wu took Su Yuan's hand and tried to persuade her. At this time, Mou Qing and Mou Wu came to the door again.
Granny Wu recognized that the two were from the Mou family, she frowned and wanted to ask questions, but she was too weak to wake up just now, so she looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was a little guilty, pretending not to see Granny Wu's expression, received the letter and read it quickly, and finally responded: "Please tell the old lady, two big brothers, that I agree to this condition, please just arrange the follow-up matters. "
Mou Qing and Mou Wu couldn't understand what they heard, but they didn't want to ask more questions. They felt that the task was completed and left.
Granny Wu is old and smart, and she guessed almost immediately what Su Yuan was talking about with Mrs. Mou. She barely supported herself, and insisted on asking for the letter paper. Without you, you will be turned upside down. If this is the case, you should leave quickly, my Wu family does not have such a self-assertive junior like you!"
Su Yuan saw that the wound on Granny Wu's forehead was faintly showing blood again, and wanted to help Granny Wu lie down anxiously, but Granny Wu waved her hand so that she dared not stretch out her hand, so she fell to her knees, "Grandma, don't Get angry, listen to what I have to say."
"Okay, tell me, I'll see what flowers you can come up with!"
Granny Wu was also really angry. She never thought that Su Yuan would be so courageous that she promised marriage, and it was the Mou family that she personally rejected that day. How could this not make her angry?
Su Yuan kindly put an old quilt on Granny Wu's back, and then said cautiously: "Grandma, I went to Mou's house for a follow-up visit today, and the old lady left me gossiping about the last marriage proposal. I regretted it, and then I talked about Mou Er Grandpa was framed by rumors in the capital and got a bad reputation as a wife-restricting wife, and now twenty-five out of ten are still lonely. Mrs. Mou loves me and wants to marry me as her daughter-in-law... Uh, I also think that this matter cannot be decided by myself. So tell her back and report to your old man, please make a decision."
After hearing this, Granny Wu's complexion improved a little.This is not the first time that the Mou family has been rude. She is well aware of the aristocratic manners of the wealthy family. Su Yuan was able to resist the temptation to marry into the Mou family as the head wife, and still abide by the etiquette. She wants to come back and ask her to call the shots. , did nothing wrong.
But she was thinking like this in her heart, but her mouth was still stern, "Since you think so, why did you write to Mrs. Mou in private and agree to this marriage without authorization?"
Su Yuan thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, "Mother-in-law, I came here from my hometown, and I met my mother-in-law who treated me very well. Even the neighbors in the village, as well as Mr. Mou and others were also very kind, so I told you I thought there were good people everywhere, but today the Zhang family came to make trouble and hurt you, so I realized that my previous thinking was too naive.
"There are bullies who oppress the people everywhere, and power is needed to protect them everywhere. I am already twenty-two, and I am considered an old girl here. Even if I want to marry, it is difficult to find a good one. Now the Mou family is rich, and the second master Mou She has a good character, and the old lady is not a villain who speaks honey and has a sword in her belly. I am afraid that many girls are vying to marry her. If this opportunity falls on me, if I don't seize it, will I be punished by God? And I entered Mou's house, If you or I go out to practice medicine again, others will not embarrass us for the sake of the Mou family."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, she couldn't help but look around the dilapidated house, a look of sadness flashed in her eyes, and said: "The most important thing is that I want to avenge my mother-in-law. This Zhang family, I must make them regret what happened today!"
After hearing this, Granny Wu raised her palm several times, but she didn't put it down after all.
"You silly girl, why are you so stubborn!" Granny Wu burst into tears, "This is a major event in your life, how can you settle it casually? What if the Mou family treats you badly, what if... "
"No, mother-in-law." Su Yuan held back tears, leaned gently in Granny Wu's arms, and said in a low voice: "People who have seen me since childhood say that I am a lucky person who is white and fat. Look at me When I come here, I can meet a good person like you, so how can I not live comfortably for the rest of my life? I will open a medicine hall in the future, become a miracle doctor, earn a lot of money, and support you until the end of my life."
"You girl, you girl..." Granny Wu cried until her tears flowed into rivers. Although she usually pretended to be fierce, it seemed that anyone who came to the door would disturb her pure life. In fact, what the old man fears most is loneliness and being without a home.Unexpectedly, it was only a moment of kindness that she got such a girl who sincerely treats her as a grandmother. The gratitude and joy in her heart can only be expressed with tears.
"All the gods bless you, you must live a good life to succeed. It doesn't matter how mother-in-law is, you must not be wronged. If the Mou family treats you badly, you can come back. Mother-in-law can protect you for ten or eight years even if she dies. "
"Okay, I'll listen to Granny." Su Yuan raised her hand to wipe Granny Wu's tears, and finally gave her a reassurance pill, "Grandma has also met Mr. Mou, he is really a good person, he will definitely not bully me. "
Granny Wu's eyes were a little swollen, but she could still see a trace of shyness on Su Yuan's face, and she finally felt much better.If Mou Yi also has a three-point love for Su Yuan, this marriage might really be a good marriage.
Not to mention how the Wu family, the old and the young, spoke their own words, but said that the Mou family also held the lamps at this time. Brother Kun accompanied his uncle and grandmother to dinner and was taken back by the nanny, leaving Mrs. Mou to drink While tea was guilty, he sneaked a glance at his son sitting beside him.
Mou Yi drank two full cups of tea, but still did not see his mother speak, so he couldn't bear it anymore and smiled, "Mother, what do you want to say to your son? There is no one around right now, so you can just ask."
"Uh," Mrs. Mou laughed dryly, and after thinking about it, she said bravely, "Second brother, mother... Well, I made a marriage for you, and the matchmaker will go to the woman's house to propose marriage in two days."
One old and one young said a few polite words, Mrs. Mou was worried that her son would return soon, and she really suffered from eating and sleeping for a few days, so it was rare to get straight to the point and speak clearly.
"Miss Su, I heard that you came to seek refuge with Granny Wu from a far away place. You must have no parents at home, right? Marriage should be ordered by your parents and a matchmaker, but you are alone, and you are a capable person." , I can definitely do something on my own. Today, the old man retains you, one is to apologize for the previous concubine, and the other is to sincerely want to marry you as my son's wife and enter my Mou family as a wife. I don't know What do you think, girl?"
"What?" Su Yuan was a little confused before, but then her eyes widened in shock. She really couldn't understand why the Mou family was so rich, so why did they take a fancy to her as a country girl.He failed to take a concubine before, but now he wants to marry her directly. With such a big pie on his head, even a fool would suspect that it is a trap...
"Old lady, the Mou family has been rich for generations, and I, a peasant girl, can't afford it. If you have nothing to do, I'd like to tell you a few funny things about the market, but it's better not to say such jokes."
Mrs. Mou was impatient when she heard this, and blurted out: "Could it be that the young lady doesn't like my son?"
Su Yuan remembered how many times she had been with Mou Yi, and couldn't help but blush, and replied hesitantly: "That's not true, Erye Mou is a gentleman, his character is precious, and I can't afford it."
Madam Mou was relieved, and after thinking about it, she told the truth.
"Speaking of my son, I am also pitiful. He was smart since he was a child, and he was excellent in reading and martial arts. The old man saw how happy he was, so he decided to make a marriage for him, but just after the engagement ceremony, the girl suffered a sudden illness and died. Seeing that he has reached his age, my master and I made another marriage for him, and this time we got married smoothly, and my daughter-in-law was also pregnant, unexpectedly... Sigh."
She sighed heavily, and her expression darkened, which made Su Yuan Gao aroused, and was not good at urging her.
Fortunately, Mrs. Mou wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief and continued. "My daughter-in-law is also unlucky. She had a hard time giving birth and took my grandson who has never seen the world. Some unscrupulous people in the capital may be jealous of our Mou family and spread rumors about me. My son overwhelmed my wife. Originally, there was a family acquaintance who wanted to discuss marriage after my son passed his filial piety. Later, due to too many rumors, I didn’t make any noise. My son didn’t say anything, but how could he not be bitter in his heart, I hate that I can’t help at all Later, my master passed away again, and my son Ding You gave a memorial, resigned from his errand, and accompanied me back to my hometown to observe filial piety."
The old lady said it sadly, and after a long pause, she said again: "To be honest with Miss Su, speaking of it, I also have selfish intentions, I hope you can take care of brother Fukun when you marry, but it's mostly because my son treats you differently. In the past two years, I have never seen him laugh so happily when chatting with others."
After hearing this, Su Yuan felt really mixed feelings. She never knew that a man with such a gentle smile could bear so much pain.However, the accusation of wife-killing is really too much. When I think about it seriously, it's just a coincidence.
But as the saying goes, where there are people, there must be rivers and lakes.The Mou family is in a power field like Kyoto, and they bear the title of earl, and Mou Yi is responsible for the safety of the palace. How can there be fewer opponents and enemies?How can such a coincidence be caught by someone with a heart, so how can it be known to the world.
No wonder he looked older than himself, but he was still alone. It turned out that there was such a reason.
However, even in the name of being a wife, it is still a bit far-fetched for Mou Yi, an earl who is Ding You, to marry her, a wild girl from a farm.
Seeing that Su Yuan didn't respond for a while, Mrs. Mou thought she was frightened by her son's reputation as a wife, and she regretted it very much, so she hurriedly remedied: "Miss Su, don't believe those rumors. I have asked eminent monks to do it. My son There is no fault at all, it is really that those women were not blessed, and the girl is blessed with deep blessings, so she will definitely be fine."
Su Yuan grinned when she heard this, and she still wanted to refuse, but for some reason, the scene of getting along with Mou Yi always flashed in her mind, which made her really upset, so she said perfunctorily: "These rumors are naturally inaccurate. I have also been unfairly wronged. It’s just such a big matter, I have to ask my mother-in-law, I really can’t answer the old lady right away, I hope the old lady will forgive me.”
Although the old lady was a little disappointed, she was reluctantly satisfied when she heard that Su Yuan didn't refuse outright, and replied: "It's right to tell the elders, I wait for the girl's news."
Su Yuan answered a few more words at random and hurriedly left. After walking halfway with a maid, she happened to meet Mou Yi who was coming back from the warehouse.
Seeing her walking out, he asked, "Miss Su, why don't you sit a little longer?"
Su Yuan couldn't help but blush when she thought about what happened just now, and said vaguely: "Grandma feels uncomfortable getting up early, I'm anxious to go back and take care of her, so I won't bother you any more." After that, she saluted casually and went out.
The doubts in Mou Yi's eyes deepened, and after thinking about it, he ordered the servant behind him, "Let Mou Qing and Mou Wu prepare a car to take Miss Su back."
The servant responded and trotted after Su Yuan, leaving Mou Yi carrying the box to the main room.
Mrs. Mou was drinking tea at the moment, feeling uneasy, not knowing whether what she did today was wrong or right, suddenly seeing her son come in, she felt a little guilty, and before her son asked questions, she said she had a headache and wanted to sleep.
Mou Yi had no choice but to put down the jewelry box and told the maid to take good care of her mother.
Su Yuan sat all the way in the carriage, her face was still flushed, and her heart beat as fast as a drum.
Even in her original time and space, it was rare for a mother to directly say "marry my son" to a girl, not to mention that she had never been in a relationship since she was a child. Feel a little weird, but a little excited.
She couldn't help but patted her hot face hard, and shook her head vigorously, finally feeling a little more awake.
The old adage says that the right family is right, and there is absolutely truth to it.The living environment and the growth process are very different. Just because of love, there will be many conflicts when getting along with each other. What's more, she and Mou Yi have no love, at best they have a good relationship... But the family status is very different .
The Mou family has been rich and honored for many generations, and she grew up in an ordinary family in modern times. She is taken in by her mother-in-law here, and she is even poorer. No matter how you look at it, it is not suitable.
Perhaps the carriage was going fast, but Su Yuan saw the shadow of Sanli Village in the distance before Su Yuan got her emotions in order. Thinking of her mother-in-law's rage that day, she felt a little uneasy, for fear that Granny Wu would lose her marriage because of her private discussion with Mrs. Mou. Out of reserve and annoyed.
As soon as they turned into the village entrance, Mou Qing and Mou Wu, who were driving the car, knocked on the wall of the car and said: "Miss Su, come down and have a look, it seems that something happened at your house!"
"What?!" When Su Yuan heard this, she couldn't care less about other things, so she lifted the curtain of the car with one hand and poked her head out.
The Wu family lives in the westernmost part of Sanli Village, close to the main road. Although the thatched house is dilapidated, the yard is spacious.At the moment, he was surrounded by villagers.Even though people with acute illnesses came to seek medical treatment and many villagers came to watch the fun, this was the first time they looked like this, and it was obvious that something serious happened at home.
Su Yuan couldn't hold back her temper, pushed open the car door and jumped off, then ran home with the hem of her skirt lifted.
Mou Qing and Mou Wu discussed it in a low voice. They are not fools. They can see that their master treats Miss Su differently. If they stand by and watch today, they may be punished when they go back. Why don't they just go and have a look? Good fate, what if one day in the future I get a good karma because of this matter.
The two tied the carriage to a tree beside the road, and squeezed into the courtyard of Wu's house.
I saw Granny Wu lying halfway by the wall, her head was bloody and bloody from the collision for some reason, her face was pale, and her expression was in a daze. Su Yuanzheng hugged her tearfully and called out cautiously.A few women who looked like neighbors were also angrily helping to pass cloth towels to cover the wound, mumbling in their mouths, obviously telling the whole story.
On the other side, a few people who looked like servants were cursing and smashing wantonly, ranging from tables and chairs to bowls and bowls, all of which were smashed to pieces, and no one was spared.
Mou Qing and Mou Wu frowned. The Mou family is also one of the best families in the capital, and they are people who can be used by the second master, but they don't have such domineering and domineering times.I don't want to see a farce of bullies oppressing the people in the small Sanli Village today.
"Stop!" Mou Qing yelled, and scolded with a dark face: "Who are you, you actually smashed up the peasants in broad daylight, don't you have any laws?"
Hearing this, a young man who was standing in the corner of the courtyard put down the snuff bottle in his hand, walked over in four directions, looked Mou Qing and Mou Wu up and down several times, then raised his chin and said disdainfully: " Who are you, dare to meddle in my Zhang family's business?"
Mou Qing has been courageous since he was a child, and has martial arts skills. How could he see such a slave who is arrogant? He smiled coldly and mocked: "The Zhang family? Which Zhang family? Could it be that the Zhang family is a relative of the emperor, so Why don’t you take the laws of Chilong Kingdom into consideration?”
The steward of Zhang's family turned dark when he was blocked, and said angrily: "The spring grass didn't grow very high, where did you come out like a talkative donkey, and didn't even ask about it? Our Zhang family is the richest man in Wanshi City. If you dare to meddle in business, be careful Which day...huh!"
"Yo, what's the matter? Our brothers took care of the injustice today, and the Zhang family wants to put us to death?"
As a brother, Mou Wu naturally wouldn't look at Mou Qing fighting alone, so he opened his mouth and snatched a few words from Guanshi Zhang.
The villagers on the side were already arguing for the Wu family's grievances. Seeing someone stand out now, they naturally echoed, "That's right, killing people is nothing but nodding. You smash and beat, what else do you want? Let's talk about it." , the child in your family has been sick for some time. Our Aunt Wu is capable of curing it. If it is not cured, God will accept people. Why do you blame Aunt Wu? If you are so rude again, we will go The county government beat the drums to cry out for grievances!"
Guanshi Zhang originally wanted to swear a few more words, but he was a little afraid of losing money when he saw the villagers swarming up, so he spat hard, pointed at Granny Wu who had just woken up, and cursed: "Old lady, you are lucky. If you are kind-hearted, I will let you go, and if you dare to go out and harm others in the future, see if I..."
Halfway through his words, the corner of his eyes glanced at the young girl beside Granny Wu, and she immediately shuddered. What kind of eyes did she have? It was like the horse he saw that had been starving for the winter with his master when he went hunting in the mountains last spring. The wild wolf with hatred and fierce eyes could crush his bones at any time!
The threatening words that came to his mouth were subconsciously swallowed by him, and he could only wave his hands to greet the servants, "Let's go back to the city!"
The villagers wished they could leave immediately, so they quickly moved out of the way, and neither Mou Qing nor Mou Wu stopped them.
Manager Zhang probably felt that he was a little embarrassed by being frightened by a girl. When he walked to the door, he turned his head and looked at the wall. He saw the fair and slightly fat girl squatting on her back and entering the room with Granny Wu on her back. Like a gentle and filial daughter, she doesn't have the vicious look just now.
Could it be that my eyesight was wrong?
Full of doubts and annoyances, Manager Zhang led the people away quickly and disappeared. After discussing with Mou Wu, Mou Qing and Mou Wu deeply felt that this matter should be reported to the master, so they wanted to go back to the city.
Su Yuan went out of the yard first to find them, and he should first salute and thank them, "You two big brothers, just now thank you for your righteous words."
"Don't dare, don't dare. Miss Su has spoiled the little ones, our little master depends on your diagnosis and treatment, so it should be."
Mou Qing and Mou Wu didn't dare to accept the ceremony, they hurriedly avoided it.
Seeing this, Su Yuan didn't stop them, calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Please send a letter to the old lady when the two elder brothers go back."
While talking, she handed the envelope with the still ink in her hand to Mou Qing.Mou Qing was puzzled, wondering what else she would tell the old lady when such an accident happened at home, but he couldn't refuse it because of his emotions and reasons, so he quickly accepted it.
He carefully stuffed the letter into his bosom, and replied: "Miss, don't worry, the little one will definitely be handed over to the old lady."
Su Yuan's expression was strange, he seemed to be hesitant but with a bit of ruthlessness, and finally nodded and said: "Then I will thank you two, I can't keep you two for tea today because of something at home, and I will thank you in the future."
"Don't dare, dare not. The girl is polite, and we will go back to the city now."
Mou Qing and Mou Wu saluted respectfully, then quickly untied the carriage and went back. ''
The two of them were very curious along the way, but they didn't dare to open the letter privately, so they could only hurry back, hoping to guess something from the words and deeds of the masters, but it's a pity that as soon as they entered the gate, they heard the porter say that the second master Went to the banquet, so the two had to go to the second gate to report and wait for the inner courtyard to communicate.
Mrs. Mou made an excuse to take a nap, but she couldn't really sleep soundly. Almost as soon as her son went out, someone picked up her grandson, teased her to talk, and even led him around the house by herself. Seeing that his face was much ruddy, It is much better than the previous panting appearance, and my heart is three points firmer about the previous matter.
Hearing that Mou Qing and Mou Wu came back with a letter, they naturally invited them in to answer.
The letter Su Yuan wrote in a hurry did not have too many polite and false words, and he agreed to the marriage directly, and put forward two conditions. One is that after entering the door, Mou Yi cannot accept any concubines without her consent; The Mou family could not stop her from continuing to practice medicine.
Even though Mrs. Mou was not as shrewd and ruthless as other mistresses, after all, she had eaten rice for decades, and she still had some plans, so she almost put down the letter paper and immediately asked, "Did something happen to the Wu family? "
Both Mou Qing and Mou Wu were a little surprised, and naturally they were even more respectful. The representative of Mou Qing replied: "The old lady guessed right. Some people threatened that Granny Wu made a mistake in her diagnosis and treatment, lost the lives of the children in her family, smashed the Wu family's yard, and even Granny Wu was also injured. When I was sending Miss Su back, I bumped into her and scared those people away. If I was reckless, I hope the old lady will forgive me."
After that, the two knelt down.
Mrs. Mou frowned, thought for a while, and then raised her hand to signal the two of them to get up, "Not only are you in the early days, but you have made great achievements. There are no secrets in this city. I don't know how many people know that the family has invited the grandparents of the Wu family to come to Kun. Brother, if it is reported that our family sits on the sidelines, it will be too cold, and it will also hinder the reputation of the family. I will go to the accountant to collect five taels of silver each, and send a reply letter to Miss Su for me."
Mou Qing and Mou Wu were overjoyed, kowtowed quickly to express their thanks, and finally stood up and waited aside.
Long ago, a clever maid laid out the paper and polished the ink. Mrs. Mou wrote a few lines, sealed it and handed it to Mou Qing.
Mou Qing put it away carefully, and with Mou Wuxi diligently withdrew to collect the money, and then rushed to Sanli Village.
In the courtyard of the Wu family, a group of neighbors had just retreated, and several aunts and aunts who were close to each other on weekdays were also busy going home to cook and feed the pigs, leaving Su Yuan to stay by the side of Granny Wu who was still in a daze, slowly feeding her with warm water.
Granny Wu rested for a while, her expression finally cleared up, she raised her hand to touch her forehead, it was neatly bandaged, and she smelled the fragrance of medicine faintly, so she couldn't help complaining.
"You girl, it's just a small wound, just use the ointment in that blue bottle, why did you sprinkle this gold powder, you don't know how many good medicinal materials are used for this, it's expensive..."
"Wow, mother-in-law!"
Su Yuan was worried for a long time, and finally heard Granny Wu's nagging, how could she bear it, hugged Granny Wu's arm, tears poured out like the tide breaking a bank.
"What happened to my mother-in-law? How did you get hurt? You tell me, I want to avenge you!
"Stupid child." Granny Wu's eyes were also red, and what happened today is an unreasonable disaster. When she went to Zhang's house for a doctor's visit, she saw that the child had suffered from chronic poisoning. There are so many dirty and secret things in the backyard of rich families. She didn't want to It should be touched, but it is really pitiful that the child is young, so he prescribed a detoxification prescription. I don't want the child to survive, the Zhang family is afraid that the family scandal will be exposed, so they send someone to call the door, first to warn her to shut up, and secondly It is also a cover-up.
After Su Yuan heard the whole story, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Granny Wu was afraid that she might get angry, so she hurriedly persuaded her, "It's all mothers-in-law who shouldn't be soft-hearted. In the future, when you go out to practice medicine, you should also take this matter as a warning. The richer you are, the more careful you are when you seek medical treatment."
"Mother-in-law is saying... let's forget about today's matter?" Su Yuan sat up straight and wiped her tears, "No, this matter absolutely cannot be counted. My mother-in-law was wronged and beaten, and I want revenge!"
How can a poor family have the qualifications to seek justice?
Granny Wu took Su Yuan's hand and tried to persuade her. At this time, Mou Qing and Mou Wu came to the door again.
Granny Wu recognized that the two were from the Mou family, she frowned and wanted to ask questions, but she was too weak to wake up just now, so she looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was a little guilty, pretending not to see Granny Wu's expression, received the letter and read it quickly, and finally responded: "Please tell the old lady, two big brothers, that I agree to this condition, please just arrange the follow-up matters. "
Mou Qing and Mou Wu couldn't understand what they heard, but they didn't want to ask more questions. They felt that the task was completed and left.
Granny Wu is old and smart, and she guessed almost immediately what Su Yuan was talking about with Mrs. Mou. She barely supported herself, and insisted on asking for the letter paper. Without you, you will be turned upside down. If this is the case, you should leave quickly, my Wu family does not have such a self-assertive junior like you!"
Su Yuan saw that the wound on Granny Wu's forehead was faintly showing blood again, and wanted to help Granny Wu lie down anxiously, but Granny Wu waved her hand so that she dared not stretch out her hand, so she fell to her knees, "Grandma, don't Get angry, listen to what I have to say."
"Okay, tell me, I'll see what flowers you can come up with!"
Granny Wu was also really angry. She never thought that Su Yuan would be so courageous that she promised marriage, and it was the Mou family that she personally rejected that day. How could this not make her angry?
Su Yuan kindly put an old quilt on Granny Wu's back, and then said cautiously: "Grandma, I went to Mou's house for a follow-up visit today, and the old lady left me gossiping about the last marriage proposal. I regretted it, and then I talked about Mou Er Grandpa was framed by rumors in the capital and got a bad reputation as a wife-restricting wife, and now twenty-five out of ten are still lonely. Mrs. Mou loves me and wants to marry me as her daughter-in-law... Uh, I also think that this matter cannot be decided by myself. So tell her back and report to your old man, please make a decision."
After hearing this, Granny Wu's complexion improved a little.This is not the first time that the Mou family has been rude. She is well aware of the aristocratic manners of the wealthy family. Su Yuan was able to resist the temptation to marry into the Mou family as the head wife, and still abide by the etiquette. She wants to come back and ask her to call the shots. , did nothing wrong.
But she was thinking like this in her heart, but her mouth was still stern, "Since you think so, why did you write to Mrs. Mou in private and agree to this marriage without authorization?"
Su Yuan thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, "Mother-in-law, I came here from my hometown, and I met my mother-in-law who treated me very well. Even the neighbors in the village, as well as Mr. Mou and others were also very kind, so I told you I thought there were good people everywhere, but today the Zhang family came to make trouble and hurt you, so I realized that my previous thinking was too naive.
"There are bullies who oppress the people everywhere, and power is needed to protect them everywhere. I am already twenty-two, and I am considered an old girl here. Even if I want to marry, it is difficult to find a good one. Now the Mou family is rich, and the second master Mou She has a good character, and the old lady is not a villain who speaks honey and has a sword in her belly. I am afraid that many girls are vying to marry her. If this opportunity falls on me, if I don't seize it, will I be punished by God? And I entered Mou's house, If you or I go out to practice medicine again, others will not embarrass us for the sake of the Mou family."
After Su Yuan finished speaking, she couldn't help but look around the dilapidated house, a look of sadness flashed in her eyes, and said: "The most important thing is that I want to avenge my mother-in-law. This Zhang family, I must make them regret what happened today!"
After hearing this, Granny Wu raised her palm several times, but she didn't put it down after all.
"You silly girl, why are you so stubborn!" Granny Wu burst into tears, "This is a major event in your life, how can you settle it casually? What if the Mou family treats you badly, what if... "
"No, mother-in-law." Su Yuan held back tears, leaned gently in Granny Wu's arms, and said in a low voice: "People who have seen me since childhood say that I am a lucky person who is white and fat. Look at me When I come here, I can meet a good person like you, so how can I not live comfortably for the rest of my life? I will open a medicine hall in the future, become a miracle doctor, earn a lot of money, and support you until the end of my life."
"You girl, you girl..." Granny Wu cried until her tears flowed into rivers. Although she usually pretended to be fierce, it seemed that anyone who came to the door would disturb her pure life. In fact, what the old man fears most is loneliness and being without a home.Unexpectedly, it was only a moment of kindness that she got such a girl who sincerely treats her as a grandmother. The gratitude and joy in her heart can only be expressed with tears.
"All the gods bless you, you must live a good life to succeed. It doesn't matter how mother-in-law is, you must not be wronged. If the Mou family treats you badly, you can come back. Mother-in-law can protect you for ten or eight years even if she dies. "
"Okay, I'll listen to Granny." Su Yuan raised her hand to wipe Granny Wu's tears, and finally gave her a reassurance pill, "Grandma has also met Mr. Mou, he is really a good person, he will definitely not bully me. "
Granny Wu's eyes were a little swollen, but she could still see a trace of shyness on Su Yuan's face, and she finally felt much better.If Mou Yi also has a three-point love for Su Yuan, this marriage might really be a good marriage.
Not to mention how the Wu family, the old and the young, spoke their own words, but said that the Mou family also held the lamps at this time. Brother Kun accompanied his uncle and grandmother to dinner and was taken back by the nanny, leaving Mrs. Mou to drink While tea was guilty, he sneaked a glance at his son sitting beside him.
Mou Yi drank two full cups of tea, but still did not see his mother speak, so he couldn't bear it anymore and smiled, "Mother, what do you want to say to your son? There is no one around right now, so you can just ask."
"Uh," Mrs. Mou laughed dryly, and after thinking about it, she said bravely, "Second brother, mother... Well, I made a marriage for you, and the matchmaker will go to the woman's house to propose marriage in two days."
