"Mother Fang, go and withdraw ten taels of silver from the account and send the doctor out of the house."
The ten taels of silver were the medical fee plus hush money, and even Jialiang had lost the money before they even got married. If word got out, how could they discuss the marriage.
The doctor also knows what to say and what not to say. Today's money is good, and both of us are satisfied.
"Dad, I..."
Lian Jialiang wanted to explain, but he felt like his internal organs had shifted, and he felt like vomiting after just one word.
"How long are you going to keep pretending?" Lian Fangyu hated the irony, "Since you were a child, I personally taught you and sent you to the academy, just to let you get a good name and support the Lian family in the future. You'd better do it, If you don’t learn from the good people outside, what have you learned?”
"From today on, if you go back to your own yard and study behind closed doors, if you let me know you run outside again, I will break your legs!"
"Get up and read now!"
"Dad, I..."
Lian Jialiang's world was spinning as soon as he came, and his mind was confused.
No, isn’t that the doctor you just hired? He is so serious, is he okay?
He felt like he was going to die.
"Dad, are you okay, brother?"
Lian Jiaying poked his head in. He held a bundle of books in his arms and asked carefully, "Dad, my son bought all the books recommended by the gentleman at the academy. My son studies hard every day, but there are still many things he doesn't understand. , I want to come and study with my eldest brother.”
Lian Jiaying was neatly dressed, her features were clear, and she was in good spirits. Lian Fangyu was finally a little relieved.
"I'm on leave today. If you don't understand anything, I'll teach you."
Lian Fangyu glanced at him with relief, then turned to glare at Lian Jialiang.
"As an elder brother, you have to set a good example for your younger brothers and sisters. It would be better for you to do such an immoral thing!"
Lian Jiaying felt extremely wronged, but in order not to be outdone by Lian Jiaying, he forced himself to sit up and read.
Lian Jiaying asked Lian Fangyu and he understood the question after he told it once. Lian Jialiang listened to it several times and still didn't understand it. He was so angry that Lian Fangyu dropped the book.
"How could I have given birth to something as stupid as a pig like you!"
Lian Suisui hid outside the door and listened to what was going on inside, holding his belly in his hands and laughing.
Xiao Tao poked her and reminded her in a low voice: "Miss, don't be too proud. The master has forgotten the good things you have done now. When you look back and think about it, you will suffer too!"
Lian Suisui hurriedly covered Xiaotao's mouth.
"Sui Sui!"
Lian Fangyu became even more angry when he saw Lian Suisui at the corner.
"You are punished to clean the ancestral hall and wipe all the ancestral tablets and the floor. No one else is allowed to help. Do it yourself!"
When good things go wrong and bad things go wrong, Lian Suisui glared at Xiao Tao.
"Yes, daddy."
In such a cold weather, my hands must be red from the cold!
It's snowing but not cold, and the chill in the air soaks through the clothes and penetrates into the body.
Lian Suisui went to fetch water with a bucket. The water from the well was not very cold. Xiao Tao found her a highly absorbent rag. She squatted on the ground and wiped the floor. A layer of ice quickly formed on the area after wiping. , she accidentally stepped on it and fell, squatting on her butt.
Dirty water soaked her shoes and socks as she kicked them down.
It was so cold that she shivered.
Lian Suisui threw the rag away.
"Whoever likes to clean this place can clean it!"
Her hands are precious and not meant for this kind of thing.
Lian Jialiang deserved it, she was doing justice for heaven, why should she accept the punishment honestly?
"Miss, please help me."
Lian Fangyu only said to punish her, but the mother-in-law sent by the Qin family turned a blind eye and obviously let her go.
Lian Suisui was not the kind of person who wanted to inconvenience others. He endured his anger and started cleaning up with Xiao Tao. He went back to his yard and changed his clothes and shoes, then leaned comfortably on the soft couch.
"Miss, the two ladies from the Yongding House and Miss Qin's Biao sent the message."
Lian Suisui stood up in a hurry.
"Then why don't you hurry up and invite people in!"
They hadn't seen each other for a long time. When she came back from another hospital, she handed over the post twice. It was either inconvenient for the two Chen sisters or Qin Shiqiong. The four of them hadn't gotten together yet.
Lian Suisui put on his shoes and went out to greet him.
"Why are you free today?"
Chen Wanli looked a little haggard, while Chen Yanxin and Qin Shiqiong were angry.
"what happened?"
"Cousin Suisui, you don't know that during your absence in the capital, my sister's family has arranged a marriage."
"This is a good thing." Lian Suisui asked doubtfully, "Who did you choose? Is there any problem?"
"There is nothing wrong with this marriage. Who in the capital doesn't know that my sister is virtuous and capable. People who come to propose marriage are almost crossing the threshold. My parents have chosen from thousands of people, and they have chosen someone with a good family background, good character, and good looks. Wang Jingkang, the eldest son of Qin Dinghou Mansion."
"The prince Wang originally made a marriage arrangement, but when they were about to get married, Madam Hou suddenly fell ill and died. He had been a filial piety to his mother for three years. When he was about to get married, his fiancée also fell ill and died."
"He has since gained the reputation of being a master of his mother and his wife. No matter how good he is, those families who love and protect their daughters will not dare to marry their daughters off again."
"It's just been delayed for a few years. Although the limelight has passed in the past two years, the situation in his family is complicated. Qin Dinghou has remarried a wife. His mother originally did not want the eldest sister to discuss marriage with him..."
"But my eldest sister met Prince Wang once at a banquet, and then met him again outside. Only then did she know that Prince Wang fell in love with my eldest sister, and sent a middleman to come to make peace with him."
"Although the Crown Prince has lost his biological mother, he is the eldest son of his original wife, and his position as Crown Prince has been sealed for a long time. My mother agreed to this marriage after asking my eldest sister for her opinion."
Hearing this, everything is fine.
"Isn't this nice?"
Chen Yanxin pouted and said, "You only see the superficial situation and don't understand the inside story."
She couldn't get to the point for a long time, and Qin Shiqiong couldn't help but interrupt.
"It's like this. The last time I went to Uncle Yongchuan's banquet, I saw Prince Wang flirting with a girl. I asked my servants to inquire, and I found out that the girl was the cousin of Qin Dinghou's first wife. There are not many people left in Madam’s natal family, only this cousin has been raised by Madam Hou since she was a child.”
Isn't this the friendship between childhood sweethearts? Lian Suisui probably guessed it.
"The friendship between cousins is childhood sweethearts, and Prince Wang wants to keep his cousin in his house?"
"It's even more disgusting than this!"
Qin Shiqiong's face was filled with anger.
"At the banquet, Qin Dinghou's Mrs. Xuxian spoke highly of the cousin. She also said that the eldest sister of the Chen family was rushing to be the daughter-in-law of Qin Dinghou's house. She would definitely be able to accommodate the prince's concubine."
"I promised in public that as long as the cousin girl gives birth to a son, she can make the decision and be an equal wife."
Lian Suisui: "..."
How is this different from taking off your pants and defecating in public?
It embarrasses myself and disgusts others.
"What is the background of the lady that Marquis Qin Ding married? Isn't this destroying the girl's reputation in public?"
Based on her understanding of people of this era, even if the two families have verbally agreed on the marriage and have not gone through the six rites process, they will not be so sure to the outside world. Who knows what will happen next, leaving each other a way out? .
She doesn't leave any escape route for others.
Chen Yanxin said disdainfully: "The newly married lady of Qin Dinghou is none other than Qin Dinghou's childhood sweetheart's cousin. Although she is a newlywed, she is a famous old girl. She married Qin Dinghou less than a year after she got married. Marquis Ding gave birth to another son, and it was said that he was born prematurely, but in fact, he hooked up with the first one while he was still ill."
"Bah, that's really disgusting!"
