I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 548

"Jingyuan, what are you doing?" Dou yelled in horror, and then rushed over to hug Qiu Jingyuan, patted her on the back angrily and worriedly, crying, "Mother, you are the only child left. You are going to be forced to die as a mother, and you will die if you have a long and short mother..."

Dou's tears couldn't stop streaming down, thinking that his son died at birth, and was replaced by his elder sister as a barbarian.

Thinking of Sanfang's poverty and embarrassment now that he could barely afford meat, Dou hugged Qiu Jingyuan tightly and cried bitterly, fearing that she would be given away by a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

Xu's sister-in-law and the three were also stunned for a moment, no one thought that Qiu Jingyuan had hidden embroidery scissors on her body, and she still had thoughts of suicide.

Qiu Jingyuan was the daughter of the Qiu family since she was born. She was spoiled lawlessly, but she was sweet and well-behaved in front of her elders, but she was vicious and vicious in private. She bullied her older cousins ​​and even her younger nephews at a young age. The niece beat and scolded at will.

Qiu Jingyuan was favored, and the three Xu families were all adopted, so even if the child was bullied, she could only admit it, and even smiled.

Now that the third house is in decline, but the Xu family has turned over and made the decision, avenging the old and new grudges together, which is why they want to marry Qiu Jingyuan to the Xiang family for joy.

But at this moment, looking at Dou Shi and Qiu Jingyuan who were hugging and crying bitterly, the three sisters-in-law of Xu Shi also felt grief from their hearts. Thinking of the children at home, the marriage in the future might be so unsatisfactory, anyone could step on it.

Mrs. Jiao is willing to let Qiu Jingyuan marry in. Even if she and Jiao Lianyu torture each other in the future, they will have to blame themselves, but when she thinks that Zhan Feiyu wrote the letter to Jiao Zhifu to dissolve the marriage, Mrs. Jiao doesn't bother to bother.

"Miss Qiu." Mrs. Jiao spoke softly, interrupting the mournful crying of several people.

Even though Qiu Jingyuan's face was ashen, and Dou's grief was great, Madam Jiao did not soften her heart at all, and continued: "Madam Qiu and I have decided to withdraw from this marriage, and the Gengtie and the keepsake have also been taken back."

Therefore, even if Qiu Jingyuan seeks death and life, it is useless, and if she really seeks death, she will not be in front of everyone. After returning to Qiu's house, who can stop her, so Qiu Jingyuan's actions are too much drama in Madam Jiao's opinion.

Mrs. Qiu also made another promise, "Twisted melons are not sweet. Retirement is an unchangeable fact. Jingyuan, you shouldn't make trouble even for the sake of other people in the third room. In a few years, I will give If you find a suitable marriage, you, as elders, will also let go of Xie Jingyuan, after all, she is still young."

It is a promise to the Dou family and Qiu Jingyuan, but Mrs. Qiu's words to the three of the Xu family are a bit cold. The third room can still gain a foothold in Qianzhong Road now because of the protection of the first branch of the Qiu family. If they don't know what to do... …

Xu's sister-in-law's heart skipped a beat, and they all looked at Madam Qiu, who was in the chair. Although all the grown-up men in the third room had been imprisoned, Xu and the others still had children who were studying. Sons and grandchildren.

If they offend the direct branch, not to mention whether they will be stumbled in the imperial examination in the future, but they are now studying in private schools or government schools. Once they are squeezed out and suppressed, wouldn't their future be ruined.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry too. Jingyuan is young, so don't worry about this marriage." Xu said with a smile, and winked at Ma, and the two sisters-in-law pulled Dou and Qiu Jingyuan who were hugging together. up.

Let Mrs. Ma hug Qiu Jingyuan to prevent her from fussing again, Mrs. Xu also patted Mrs. Dou's back comfortingly, and persuaded softly: "Master Jiao Er is indeed a rare young talent, but brother and sister, think about him." There is such a big difference in age from Jingyuan, when Jingyuan can enter the house, she might already have a concubine's eldest son."

"Besides, the Jiao family doesn't want this marriage anymore. I'm afraid Jingyuan's situation will be more difficult than it is now." The sister-in-law who has lived in the same house for many years, Mrs. Xu persuaded the crying Mrs. Dou with a few words.

Seeing Mrs. Dou whose expression had already loosened, Mrs. Ma also echoed in a low voice, "Yes, brothers and sisters, the second son is a concubine, and the back house can't manage the front yard, but it's much easier for a mother-in-law to trouble her daughter-in-law." .”

The voices of Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Ma's persuasion were so low that only Mrs. Dou who was together could hear them. The two sisters-in-law also worked hard for the children at home, otherwise they would never dare to talk about mother-in-law in front of Mrs. Jiao. Daughter-in-law's words.

Dou Shi looked at Qiu Jingyuan with red eyes, the eldest son and the wicked mother-in-law with red eyes. These two fatal points have already dispelled the idea of ​​letting Qiu Jingyuan marry Jiao Lianyu. Jingyuan has no natal family to rely on. After a few years, he died of illness in the back house.

Mrs. Qiu greeted Mrs. Jiao and Mrs. Jiao Gu for tea. As for the whispers of Mrs. Xu and the others, Mrs. Qiu couldn't hear them but knew what they said. It was half persuasion and half threat.

Fearing that Mrs. Dou would not agree, Mrs. Xu said cruelly at the end: "Sister and sister, you only have Jingyuan as a child now. After Jingyuan gets married in a few years, there will be emptiness in her knees. Brother Mo doesn't remember anything yet, so why don't you write it down under the name of your younger siblings in the future. It can be regarded as an incense for the fourth brother."

"Really?" Mrs. Dou raised her head abruptly, clasping Mrs. Xu's hand tightly with both hands in excitement and asked: "Sister-in-law is really willing to adopt Brother Mo under my name?"

Brother Mo is the Xu family's concubine son, and he is only over one year old now. If it was before, the Dou family had Qiu Jinyu as a son, even if there was only this one son, they would not care about any concubine sons.

But today is different from the past, Dou only has one daughter, Qiu Jingyuan. As the saying goes, if a married daughter throws water, Dou can imagine her lonely and miserable life in her later years.

The Dou family also had the idea of ​​adopting before, but Xu's sister-in-law did not agree, even if they were bastards, they were unwilling to adopt to the Dou family.

Firstly, it was the unhappiness between the two parties in the early years, who made the Xu family and the three of them all adoptive, so they bowed their heads for no reason, and could only admit it when they were bullied.

Secondly, the adult men of the three families have all been imprisoned, and now there are only a few children who are still studying. As long as the bastards are well trained, they will also be a help in the future.

Furthermore, if the concubine is not filial, as aunts, as long as they sue, the official career of the concubine will be ruined. Now, in order to let Dou take a step back and not offend Mrs. Jiao and Mrs. Qiu, Xu has no choice but to give up a concubine.

"Don't worry, brother and sister. I'll take brother Mo into your room when I go back. I'll train him up in the future. With the help of the head of the family, he will definitely be able to become an official in the imperial examination." Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile. Good work together.

Qiu Jingyuan lowered her head to hide the twisted hatred in her eyes, this is her mother!He clearly said it well before he came, even if he tried his best, he couldn't make the Jiao family resign.

But at this moment, looking at Dou Shi who was so excited that his eyes showed joy, Qiu Jingyuan's thin and pale face showed a mocking coldness, and she even ignored her own daughter just to adopt a scoundrel!After all, it's not for raising a son to rely on in the future!

Taking out a handkerchief and quickly wiped away tears, Mrs. Dou drank another sip of tea to moisten her throat, then stood up and apologized to Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Jiao, "It's my relationship. Since the marriage is back, it means The two children are not destined, but for the sake of Jingyuan's reputation, Madam please take pity on my daughter's ill-fated fate."

"Ma'am, don't worry." Mrs. Jiao said affirmatively, even if she didn't like Qiu Jingyuan, she would not let a 13-year-old girl bear the bad name of being divorced.

Mrs. Qiu also smiled and said: "When the time comes, let the abbot of Changhua Temple come forward. Jingyuan's fate is precious but it is not easy to marry early."

A girl who has retired from any family will affect the rules of the family. Qiu Jingyuan is the only girl in the first branch of the Qiu family, but there are still girls in other branches. Mrs. Qiu can't let Qiu Jingyuan ruin her reputation for the sake of the clan. This is Qianzhong Road , the Qiu family came forward, who would dare to say a word about the girl of the Qiu family.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room became harmonious, the ladies were chatting and laughing, it seemed that there was no divorce, and there was no incident of Qiu Jingyuan committing suicide with embroidery scissors.

Xu's sisters-in-law also brazenly begged Mrs. Qiu, wanting a few children who will be enlightened in the next year to study in the ethnology school, and the five older children hope that Qiu Bingde or Qiu Wangshu will write a letter. If you recommend a book, you can ask a famous teacher to continue studying in the future.

Zhan Feiyu listened to this family's short-sighted words, and admired them a lot. These noble ladies in the back house are really good at communicating. No matter what they think in their hearts, they are very happy on the surface. If you praise me, I praise you In a word, those who didn't know thought it was a close friend in the boudoir for many years.
