The boss is dressed as cannon fodder

When Jiang He came back, Peach Blossom Lady brought Little Peach Blossom and her daughter-in-law over to check the accounts and bring a lot of news.

"What? Jiang Erlang can't play?" Jiang He pretended to be dumbfounded. He asked people to tell the news about Jiang Hai to Xiao Chen. Now is the time to reap the fruits, but it's a pity that he couldn't see it with his own eyes.

"Jiang Erlang is stupid in studying, why should he look for a confidante?" Peach Blossom Girl disdainfully said, "Those scholars are mentally ill. They hold poetry gatherings just like poetry. They have to invite brothel girls as companions, and they keep praising them for their poetry. Be talented and don’t fall into the trap of clichés. Damn, do you think any big shot has married a brothel girl since ancient times?”

"Huh? Jiang Erlang wants to marry a girl from a brothel?" Jiang He refilled Peach Blossom's tea and glanced at the two girls who were having a great time with Little Peach Blossom. The weather was so nice, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"No, he wants to take a concubine." Peach Blossom Lady's voice was full of disdain, "Little Chen is not good, she is not beautiful enough, and has the same temperament as old Chen, mean and selfish, but little Chen is good to Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai was born in a farm family and did not do any work. As for Xiao Chen, she worked exhaustingly, going up the mountain to cut firewood, pull weeds and look at the fields... without a break all day long, she was counting on Jiang Erlang to be a scholar... The result He hasn't passed the exam yet, so he wants to take a concubine! Oh, man, what good can he do?" Thinking that Jiang He is also a man, Peach Blossom Girl quickly said, "I'm not talking about you, you are a first-class person to Shun Niang. One is good.”

"I used to treat Shun Niang badly." Jiang He didn't mind at all. "It was only after I became lame that I realized she was the best woman in Daqi."

"Shun Niang is really good, Da Li. I know you are capable now, and I also know that it is not my place to say this, but it is not easy for Shun Niang, and you should not imitate your second brother in taking concubines..."

"Auntie, even if I farm for the emperor, I'm still a farmer. What can I do?" Jiang He knew his character very well. He had been a farmer all his life. "Why do we farmers have concubines?"

Peach Blossom Girl couldn't help but smile on her face. Jiang He saw the emperor and still thought about living a down-to-earth life with Shun Niang. It was indeed a good thing.

Peach Blossom Girl continued to talk about the Jiang family's mess.

After Xiao Chen discovered that Jiang Hai's so-called poetry club to promote talents was just fooling around with women from brothels, she collapsed. She broke into the poetry club, caught Jiang Hai's confidante, and started fighting.

Don't underestimate a woman who goes up the mountain to chop firewood, goes to the fields to swing a hoe, and carries a big bucket of pig food. Those weak scholars whose fighting ability is not as good as two geese are really unstoppable.

Jiang Hai lost his face, and he couldn't stand the shrew of Xiao Chen, so he even said that he would divorce his wife and marry a beauty.

Xiao Chen's heart was so cold that she no longer targeted women in anger, but instead scratched Jiang Hai's face.

"Jiang Erxiang is also unlucky. He fell down. It hurts, but he hurts his hand. Don't even think about taking the imperial examination this time." Taohua Niang was a little gloating about Xiao Chen's misfortune, "Jiang Erxiang" Now Lin was more confident in divorcing his wife, and the old Chen was also very angry. She hoped that Jiang Eryang would become a scholar this time, so she immediately kicked the young Chen out. "

Jiang He lowered his eyes and said in a faint voice, "Didn't you say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are better than mother and daughter? I thought they would be so close that they would be so intimate that they would last forever."

"Since ancient times, a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law cannot be natural enemies and cannot become mother and daughter." Peach Blossom Girl shook her head repeatedly. She was a good mother-in-law, and the house was full of feathers and ducks.

"Little Chen has returned to her mother's family now. Her life is not easy. Her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's family are all members of the same family, and this mother-in-law is an aunt. Who will side with her?" Peach Blossom Girl sighed, "This year is the emperor's 40th birthday, and the talent test will be better than before. It's easy, I'm afraid I won't have this good opportunity in the future... It's okay if Jiang Erlian passes the exam next time, but if he fails, both mother and son will be worried about it, and little Chen will probably never have a good life in his life. "

"Even if you pass the exam, you won't have a good life." Jiang He Leng might as well say, "Even if he passes the exam, he will still regret why he didn't come two years earlier. Besides, he wants to take a concubine now that he hasn't passed the exam. I'm afraid it will be even worse after he passes the exam. Huahua intestines.”

Peach Blossom Girl couldn't help but open her mouth, "So Xiao Chen might as well make peace with her."

Jiang He didn't say anything. If Little Chen is smart, she shouldn't mess with old Chen Jiang Hai. Little Chen is selfish and mean, but not as conscienceless as Jiang Hai... Little Chen really wants to stay in the Jiang family, and there will be no doubt about her future life. It's hell mode.

Of course, even if Xiao Chen wants to divorce, there will be no good end. Who else can she remarry at her age and appearance? It's either a widower looking for a woman to take care of a baby or an old man with weird quirks... In short, he won't be able to please him.

At this point, Xiao Chen's conspiracy against his family came to an end. Jiang He really had no interest in messing with a person whose future he could see at a glance.

As for Jiang Hai, he won't take action.

Death is nothing. The most painful thing is to spend a lifetime watching the eldest brother you look down on flourish and rise to the top, while you are still a mirror image.

Hey, they all help the emperor farm. Even farmers are the best farmers in the world. They still have the right to deprive themselves of a scholarship quota.

***

Jiang Hai looked at his swollen hands and couldn't help complaining: "Mom, my cousin is so vicious, I must divorce her."

"After the divorce, what will happen to the two children?" Mrs. Chen is not very energetic. She has been suffering from insomnia since Jiang He came to Beijing. Talking to people is not like the firecrackers that will explode at any time before talking to people, but it is more sinister. I get goosebumps just listening to it.

"Xiangxue is elegant, virtuous, gentle and lovely. She will definitely be a good stepmother." Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile on his face. Although he had never proposed it to Xiangxue, he was convinced that they had the same mind and Xiangxue would definitely be willing to take care of the two of them with him. child's.

"No!" Mr. Chen has become thinner recently, his eyes are sunken, and he looks at people like two will-o'-the-wisps. "Er Lang, you are a scholar and you took the imperial examination. Do you know that marrying a brothel girl is bad for your future?" There is no benefit at all... When you talk about your wife and children with your colleagues in the future, do you have the nerve to say that your wife was born in a brothel? "

Jiang Hai's brain, which had been dazed by the beauty, finally regained consciousness.

No wonder, he has been immersed in the gentle countryside every day recently, and has almost forgotten about the imperial examination. How can he remember that the imperial examination is the most important thing for reputation? If he marries his sweetheart, he may never get ahead in his life.

"Xiangxue said she would not be a concubine." Jiang Hai was troubled, but then he cheered up. It's okay, as long as he tells Xiangxue that Xiao Chen is just a decoration and only has the title of the principal wife, she is his true love... Then Xiangxue will definitely be happy to be his concubine.

Lao Chen is becoming more and more sober. In the past, she had been unwilling to wake up from her sweet dreams, insisting that everyone in the world firmly believe that her youngest son is a genius. In fact, it’s not that no one suspected and warned her, it’s just that she didn’t want to wake up...

Her proud son went to a brothel every day while preparing for the exam...

The younger son she always thought was a genius was actually not that good at all.

Lao Chen didn't want to doubt, but the seeds of doubt grew rapidly in her heart. She lowered her head to hide her complicated eyes, and spoke more coherently and clearly, "It's not easy for a brothel girl to get back to good deeds. Have you asked for the money to redeem yourself?"

Jiang Hai suddenly wilted, "I asked, I want three hundred taels."

"Er Liang, since the separation of the family, you have participated in a total of ten poetry gatherings, each costing about five taels, as well as your daily expenses... You can count how much money the family still has." Old Chen suppressed Angry, if she had known that her second son's so-called poetry club was just hanging out with girls from a brothel, she wouldn't have paid a penny! She was uneducated, but she had never heard of a scholar who had close contacts with brothel girls who could have a big future.

Jiang Hai counted the money and his expression changed drastically. The family really didn't have any money. When the family was separated, he felt that the Jiang family was quite wealthy. He knew his mother well and must have hidden some money. But he counted his expenses and found that he had spent nearly a hundred taels of silver in just a few months.

Jiang Hai's forehead was sweating. His mother hoped that he would become a scholar this time so that he wouldn't have to worry about future problems, but he spent all his money...

"Er Liang, you have to take the exam the year after next. The family doesn't have much money anymore. Even if we sell this year's grain, it won't be enough for you to study." Mrs. Chen also blamed herself. She hated her eldest son for not showing affection to family members, and the more she hated her eldest son, the more she hated her eldest son. The more her son felt the need to invest more in her younger son, so she gave it to her younger son without batting an eye when he asked for money, and she asked more about the flow of his younger son's money.

"During the autumn harvest, my mother hired people to harvest. It was more expensive than spring plowing. In order to save some money, I forced the four mothers to go to the fields..." Mrs. Chen didn't want to say more, "You can divorce your wife if you want. You can do the work at home." Come on, now the whole family is working in the fields, no one is working, let alone the imperial examination, and you can’t even afford to eat.”

Jiang Hai stopped Old Chen and said, "Mom, our family has no money. My eldest brother's family..."

Mrs. Chen was furious, "If you have the nerve, go find your eldest brother! Do you think my mother has never gone to find him? Once my mother goes to him, the whole village will get together and scold her!"

"Mom, you were too ruthless when we separated. If you could be kinder..."

"Are you blaming me?" Old Chen's heart went cold. "Who am I doing this for? I am doing this for you! For you to be admitted as a scholar, for you to be admired by others! Everyone in Daqi can scold you I have no conscience, not you!”

"Mom, I know you are doing it for me, but if you were a fair and kind mother, your eldest brother wouldn't be so heartless..." Jiang Hai was unhappy. When the family was separated, he did not force his mother to leave all the family property to him. , he hinted, but his mother didn’t have to listen.

Lao Chen suddenly felt dizzy and spinning, retribution, all this is retribution!

She should have known a long time ago, just by seeing her youngest son running faster than flying during the autumn harvest and leaving all the tiring work to his mother and wife, you can see how cold and desolate her little son is.

However, it was too late now. Her eldest son had long since given up on his mother. Her eldest son, who had always been filial, was killed by her herself.

Jiang Hai left home angrily, secretly wondering if he could get some money from his eldest brother. The emperor's reward must be generous, it must be thousands of taels of silver, and he was not greedy. He would be satisfied if his eldest brother gave him five or six hundred taels.

***

Xiao Chen has been staying at her parents' house for several days.

At the beginning, her family would say a few words to tactfully hint her to return to her husband's house, but later they became impatient, and the faces of her brother and sister-in-law became increasingly ugly.

"Fourth sister, when will you go back?" The second brother, who is also a scholar, looked unhappy. "Brother-in-law only went to the brothel a few times. It is an elegant thing for a scholar to go to the brothel. Do you understand that it is a joke? Tell him. Sorry, I'll go and make peace..."

The second sibling also advised her: "Fourth sister, your mother-in-law is your aunt. If a family has conflicts and closes the door, it is still a family, so don't worry about it." There is an eldest sister-in-law in the family who has a dark face as if she is owed hundreds of taels. She was really annoyed. People who were already married had no problem eating for nothing.

"Fourth sister..." Chen Eryang looked at her with contempt, "I'm not talking about you. If someone hurt me before the imperial examination and prevented me from going to the examination room, I would have beaten that person to death! Brother-in-law is already tolerant of you. You see Look at you, you are not good-looking, you have such a bad temper, and you don’t like dressing up. What man can bear to have a yellow-faced woman at home..."

"Jiang Hai spends several taels of silver on a trip to a brothel." Little Chen stretched out her rough hands to take a closer look. These hands used to be fair and delicate. "It costs ten taels of silver to buy a maid of about ten years old, and ten taels of silver to buy a thirty-year-old girl." The mother-in-law spends fifteen taels of silver, and buys a capable strong man for twenty-five taels of silver..."

"Why are you talking about this?"

"If Jiang Hai saved the money he spent on brothels and bought people to work for him, my hands wouldn't be like this." Xiao Chen looked at him indifferently, "I don't have to hunt pigs and weeds to chop firewood every morning, or go to the fields to pull weeds and catch fish. Chong...I can dress up every day without having to work, and I won’t turn into a yellow-faced woman at all!”

Chen Eryang was a little uncomfortable, "Why are you talking about this? You just worked hard for a period of time. You will enjoy the blessing if your brother-in-law passes the exam... Alas, this opportunity was ruined by you. This year is the year when my brother-in-law is most likely to pass the exam. ”

"After the separation, he went to the brothel to find bitches whenever he had time. Will he pass the exam?" Xiao Chen snorted coldly, "He is such a wolf-hearted person. He thought of divorcing his wife before he passed the exam. If he passed the exam, I would still Is there a good ending?"

Why are women so entangled in love? For men, the future is the most important thing, and the women in the brothel are just a diversion!

After all, Chen Eryang was impatient: "I told you that many girls in brothels are prostitutes rather than prostitutes. It is an elegant way for scholars to associate with them to promote their talents. Who is the most well-informed in the world? It is the brothels! Scholars Everyone knows that communicating with brothel girls is just for fun..."

Little Chen snorted coldly, "You are also a scholar. You must also think that going to a brothel is very elegant? How many times have you been there?"

"Not many, just two times..."

There was a sharp pain in his waist. Chen Eryang took a breath and looked at his furious wife.

"Chen Er!" Chen Er's sister-in-law was furious, "You go to hell for me! I gave birth to children for you, lived frugally, stayed up at night and worked as a prostitute to earn money to buy you paper and pens, but you still use the money to waste money? As a woman...are you worthy of me?"

Mrs. Chen watched with cold eyes as her mother-in-law's family was in disarray. It turned out that her brother was not a good person either.

Now Xiao Chen's parents can't tolerate her either.

"Si Niang, do you see how your brother's face was scratched?" Xiao Chen's mother looked ugly, "You'd better go back first and apologize to your aunt and your cousin."

"Even if you kneel down, you still have to ask for their forgiveness." Xiao Chen's father stared at his daughter, "Without your aunt's support these years, how could your brother have been able to study?"

"Just because we have to rely on the Jiang family, is it right that the second brother has been hiding the fact that Jiang Hai is looking for a woman from me?" This is what Xiao Chen hates her brother most. Other brothers protect her sister, and her brother helps her. Knife her!

Chen Eryang touched the scratched face and said, "I told you this was just a joke..." He passed the boy student exam several times. He was not as talented in reading as his brother-in-law, and he had to help him solve the problems in the imperial examination. The most important thing is that without the support of the Jiang family, the Chen family's family cannot afford his education.

Xiao Chen smiled sadly. She always thought that although she was a woman, her parents loved her, her younger brother protected her, her husband's family was harmonious, and her husband respected her... It turned out that these were all fake, and she was no different from the "losers" in the world!

Xiao Chen's mother moved her eyes away and pretended not to see her daughter's pain. "In short, even if you act like a fool in the Jiang family, you still need the forgiveness of your mother-in-law and husband. Our family cannot do without their help." She also Thinking that her second son would become a scholar and the Chen family would change their status, she would then be able to become an old feudal lord, enjoying the blessings of being served by maids when she came in and out.

"The Jiang family has no money. I'm afraid that my second brother will have to rely on himself to study in the future."

"What?"

"impossible!"

"How come there is no money?!" Chen Eryang was so shocked that his voice broke.

There were obviously ninety taels when the family was separated. Even if the big house was divided into twenty taels, there would still be seventy taels. Not to mention that my aunt loved to hide things, so she must have hidden some in private. An ordinary family of six or seven people in the countryside spends less than ten taels of silver a year. How could the Jiang family, so rich, suddenly be without money?

"You must also know that brothels are gold-selling dens. The girls from the brothels who appear in this poetry party are all free. A poetry party must cost several taels of silver, not to mention that Jiang Hai has to give gifts to his confidante. ..." Xiao Chen smiled maliciously, and was very satisfied with the color of her second brother's face. "You are a scholar, so you should be able to do such a simple calculation, right?" Tsk, how could she think that her second brother had a bright future before? Same as Jiang Hai - no, stupider than Jiang Hai!

Chen Eryang's mouth turned bitter. He, he...he just wanted to please his cousin, so he concealed the fact that he was looking for a prostitute in a brothel. Who knew he was hurting himself now? He was shooting himself in the foot. If the Jiang family has no money, how can they support him in his studies?

"There is retribution in this world!" Xiao Chen only felt happy, "If you had told me earlier that I had torn Jiang Hai apart, even if his hand was injured and he still had time to recover, the Jiang family's money would not be wasted by him. After all, my mother-in-law still has the ability to support my mother-in-law's family... You are just afraid that you will not be able to study in the future. You have harmed me, your aunt, the Jiang family, and yourself! "

"Where are you going?" Little Chen's parents hurriedly called to their daughter.

"Didn't I say that I have to kneel down to ask my mother-in-law and husband to forgive me? I will go back and kneel right away!"

When Xiao Chen left the house, she only felt sad. Everything was retributive...

My second brother got his comeuppance, my mother-in-law got her comeuppance for her partiality in dividing the family property, and Jiang Hai got her comeuppance too. Her comeuppance had already come...but she had a hunch that it was just the beginning of everyone's comeuppance.

***

Jiang He's reaction to Jiang Hai's fantasy was to stare at his face for two seconds. How long had he not shaved his beard? He's not good-looking, but he thinks beautifully!

He didn't say anything to the brain-dead idiot, and just let the guard with the knife throw him out.

"Brother, brother! I will study hard and pass the imperial examination to change the Jiang family's status and bring honor to our ancestors..." Jiang Hai patted the door with great determination, "As long as you give me money to redeem Xiangxue... five hundred taels, no, four hundred taels will do, or three hundred taels?"

Jiang He's cold voice came: "I can make the Jiang family honorable without you! Also, the Jiang family doesn't need to change the status, I think farmers are also good."

Jiang Hai was about to make an excited defense, if being a farmer was good, there wouldn't be so many farmers studying hard to make a breakthrough... No, brother is farming for the emperor, even if he is a farmer, he is the most noble farmer in the world.

"My second brother is going to be a waste." Jiang He said to the guard, "It's not easy for a farmer to study, but he doesn't know how to cherish it. His mind is full of women. There is no hope."

The guard is very knowledgeable: "Such people are the most troublesome. You'd better be on guard. You are working for the emperor now, and you must not let your family drag you down."

Jiang He thought about it. In ancient times, if one person made a mistake, the whole family's reputation would be ruined, and the reputation of a clan would be bad... Jiang Hai's character will definitely implicate him in the future.

I originally wanted to let him fend for himself and let the Jiang family raise dogs, but now I really can't do that.

Old Chen is heartless. If you tell others, everyone will sympathize with him, but in this era of filial piety, if he really dares to sever the mother-son relationship with Old Chen, he will definitely be scolded...

Alas, no matter how many times others abuse me, I still have to treat her like my first love...

Forget it, it's okay if I can't beat her to death or completely separate her. I will still suffer if I live! Jiang He made up his mind. With a son like Jiang Hai who is so inhuman, the life of the old lady Chen will be difficult in the future. He just needs to do a good job on appearance. There are many things in the world that are brilliant on the outside but rotten cotton and stinky meat on the inside.
