Chapter 354: Xingshi asks for sin
After being busy outside for a long time, Zhuang Mingyue was tired enough, and at this time she had been sitting in the carriage for several hours, and she couldn't help herself from throwing up. I comforted myself in my heart that when I arrived at my house, I could rest to my heart's content, and sleep as long as I wanted.
Thinking of this, I feel a lot better, looking at the scenery through the window to divert my attention, and unconsciously thinking of my little sister, my little sister is really a simple person.
The thought of having beautiful men in her world who eat imperfect food and can't finish watching is enough for her to be happy for several days, what a girl who has no worries. It is estimated that she has gained a lot of weight after not seeing her during this time, and Zhuang Mingyue only feels comfortable when she thinks of this.
But as soon as she thought of this, Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but think of Shen Yue'e's use of Zhuang Xingxing a few days ago.
Although she once thought that Zhuang Xingxing was obedient and well-behaved, at least Shen Yue'e would not treat Zhuang Xingxing like she treated.
But this is not the case, when I thought of Zhuang Xingxing here, I couldn't help frowning lightly, and began to think about whether to bring Zhuang Xingxing here.
The carriage marched into the capital, and when she was about to arrive at home, Zhuang Mingyue sat on the carriage and lifted the curtain, and when she looked out through the curtain, she saw a girl sitting at the gate of the courtyard where she lived, looking like her own little sister Shen Xingxing, she got out of the carriage and saw that she was holding her knees with both hands, sobbing and crying.
"Xing'er, what's wrong, but what grievances have you suffered?"
Zhuang Xingxing looked up and saw that it was his sister, and he was even more aggrieved, and tears broke down: "Sister, you are finally back, Xing'er is so wronged." ”
Zhuang Mingyue looked at the little sister who was crying in front of her with pear blossoms and rain with a surprised face, and she already felt slightly in her heart that this matter was related to her parents.
If you ask the little sister the reason at this gate in broad daylight, you will inevitably be laughed at by the neighbors, and the ugliness of the family will not be publicized, and it is better to go back to the guest room to ask if there is anything.
Zhuang Mingyue pulled her little sister to the guest hall, she could sit down, Zhuang Mingyue was anxious to protect her sister, and she asked anxiously:
"Xing, what grievances did you encounter and tell my sister, I think it was the leopard who ate the bear's heart and dared to bully my little sister?"
Zhuang Xingxing, who was originally trying his best to calm down, couldn't help crying even more fiercely after hearing this.
"Wow...... Sister, mother, mother told me about a family affair! I...... I don't want to get married. ”
"What?" Zhuang Mingyue couldn't help but stand up from the chair in surprise. Sure enough, it really has something to do with the family.
It is not an exaggeration for her to be so surprised, even if she originally knew that the ancient people had a family early, and the woman began to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen; But her little sister is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and she is not yet a teenager, and she is a minor in the era in which she lives.
"My mother didn't ask me about my wishes at all, and I also saw someone come to the house to give a dowry and ask the family to know that I had been promised to someone else."
The little sister sobbed and said, choking up one by one, Zhuang Mingyue was distressed, and worried that she would go away. barely calmed down: "Which family's son did your mother marry you to?" Why don't you resist? ”
"Yes...... Shen Kang, the eldest young master of the Shen family, the two of us have never met, so how can we know what kind of person he is. I only heard people say that he was a disciple and an obscene person. You know that I usually like beautiful men, but if he looks ugly, I really can't accept it. My mother, fearing that I would go and make trouble, locked me in the attic and did not release me until today. ”
Hearing the name of her little sister's future husband, Zhuang Mingyue only felt that the corners of her mouth twitched violently: her old lady is really good, she actually took advantage of the time she left the capital to marry her sister who had not yet reached the capital, and it turned out to be Shen Kang, the eldest young master of the Shen family!
Zhuang Xingxing is simple-minded and only knows how to eat, so he may not know what kind of person Shen Kang is. She Zhuang Mingyue has admired her name for a long time, looking at the entire capital, she can tell you about Shen Kang's by pulling out anyone at will.
There is no proper shape in the small game, and the problems of the disciples of the official eunuch family are all accounted for by him, relying on his father to be an official in the imperial court to eat the imperial grain, and he is rampant and domineering in the capital and does not know how to restrain himself, what to take the people's things without paying the silver, Zhuang Mingyue is panicked for his family, and the whole is a dou who can't support the wall. From the children of other officials in the capital, to the beggars and children below, they all want to step on his feet when they meet him. Based on his notorious image, it is estimated that one day he will leave his Lao Tzu and be beaten to death by others without anyone pulling out a knife to help.
The key is that he is still a prodigal disciple, he has patronized fireworks and willow alleys in the capital, and he is an old acquaintance in the mouth of the geisha in the Qinglou. Sometimes from time to time, he teases other people's girls, and if the girls go out, they will walk around him. If the little sister marries, it will be strange not to be laughed at. Isn't this pushing the little sister into the fire pit? Her wife took a fancy to the Shen family's money and the status of the official family, and she didn't care about anything else, she couldn't afford to lose this person.
"Sister, do you know why my mother asked me to come to you?"
"What?" She suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Mother...... Mother sent me...... Looking for you for a dowry! ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue only felt that her eyes were dark, although she always knew that her old lady was greedy for vanity and always made trouble for herself, so she was no longer surprised. But it's really a long time to hear that my mother sent her sister to ask her sister for a dowry.
I pocketed the dowry of my future in-laws, but I was so stingy that I even asked my daughter for the dowry, which is really ...... It's unbearable.
Zhuang Mingyue only felt that her blood was surging, and she couldn't sit still anymore, so she pulled her little sister who was still crying, and went to the mansion that the Holy Emperor had given her earlier to find her mother Shen Shi to comment.
Repeatedly challenged her bottom line, Uncle can bear it, Aunt Auntie can't bear it, she Zhuang Mingyue wants to see what moth she has to come out of.
Coming to the mansion that originally belonged to him but was uninvited by them, Zhuang Mingyue kicked open the door of the house without waiting for the family to open the door, came to the guest hall angrily, found a seat and made a butt, and looked at the people in the guest hall angrily.
This mansion was originally given by the saint when she was named the county lord, she thought that she could finally live a little more comfortably away from them, but she never thought that she had not lived for a few days, and the Shen family moved over uninvited. Not only that, but I even moved my sister-in-law's family here just so that someone could take care of her.
Zhuang Mingyue felt upset, so she paid out of her own pocket to stay away from them
rented another mansion to live in.
Because of this matter, Shen scolded her a lot, and accused her in front of others, saying that she was trying to evade the obligation to support her parents, and she really had no place to complain.
As early as when she had just kicked the door and broken into the mansion, someone called her mother, Shen.
"Zhuang Mingyue has the courage to grow up to you, when you return to the capital, you don't know how to say hello to your parents, you dare to kick the door in front of the neighbors and me, I gave you face, right?"
Zhuang Mingyue just wanted to laugh when she heard this, she didn't want to endure it anymore, and replied: "You also know that I just returned to the capital, so you are well-informed enough." Just ask a mother, her daughter has just returned to the capital after a long journey, and the mother does not come to care about the news when she hears the news, so she even sends her other daughter to her sister to ask for a dowry. ”
Zhuang Mingyue felt that her eloquence had improved, "Her sister just arrived at home and didn't have time to catch her breath, she received a shocking news, and she was almost scared, you don't want me to live." I don't know, I thought my little sister's mother was gone, and I needed to be my sister's dowry. ”
"You! Good you Zhuang Mingyue, you really have a clever mouth, and you dare to say anything; You're cursing me, you. ”
Shen Yue'e picked up the candlestick on the table and was about to throw it at Zhuang Mingyue, but was stopped by Zhuang Xingxing. Shen was even more angry when he saw his little daughter: It's not good to ask for a dowry, what's the use of raising such a big one. Thinking in his heart, he pushed Zhuang Xingxing aside, and unconsciously his strength was a little bigger, and Zhuang Xingxing was suddenly pushed and hit the corner of the table.
Zhuang Mingyue hurriedly pulled Zhuang Xingxing to her side, her hands trembled, looking at her little sister's face that was in pain but couldn't bear to cry, Zhuang Mingyue forced herself to calm down, gently rubbed the place where her little sister was hit, looking at Shen's eyes scarlet, Shen couldn't help but feel a little weak, holding the arm of the wooden chair, sweating slightly.
"Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, Xing'er is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and before she is ready, you are so anxious to marry her."
Zhuang Mingyue laughed a few times: "Isn't the cause and effect that the silver you have in hand has been spent again, and you urgently need the silver?" I'm surprised, you eat mine and live mine, live a comfortable life, and enjoy your old age in peace, okay? Do you have to gamble, how many times have you won? Still unrepentant and gambling, you don't know the methods of their old gamblers? ”
"I ...... I want you to take care of it. Shen Yue'e seemed to have no confidence in speaking.
Zhuang Mingyue didn't want to reply to her so much at all, and said to herself: "Today, the Holy Lord explicitly prohibits gambling, don't forget that I am the county lord of the Holy Lord." The Son of Heaven is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, if I cover up your gambling, I will be guilty of one more crime, what should I do, I'm a little afraid. ”
"Zhuang Mingyue!" Shen Shi was angry, she was really a good daughter she raised, and she dared to threaten her, "You dare to grab my thoughts!" It's good, it's really a good daughter I raised. Your little sister only knows how to eat all day long, and doesn't understand anything, is it so easy for me to raise her, I, finally found her an in-law, and you came to make trouble again. ”
"Don't look like you've wronged you, you forced me. There's nothing I can do about it. ”
