The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 47

In the next few days, Bo Ming and Zhong Ping went to dig a reservoir at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, and let Shu Chang and Ji Wang rest at home.

What Boming didn't expect was that he heard a lot of rumors about Shuchang in the past few days.First of all, there are a few girls who talk to Shuchang occasionally, and they probably all fell in love with him.Bo Ming didn't think there was anything wrong when he heard this. It was the girl's initiative, and it wasn't Shuchang who hooked up with her.

When people mentioned that the girls had secretly fought each other and even quarreled, this made Boming quite worried. If Shuchang's marriage was not settled sooner, don't make those girls feel awkward.They lost their peace because of a man, if this kind of thing spread, it might be bad for them to marry in the future.

Then several people said that after Shuchang finished work these days, he sneaked together with a girl named Yinyue behind Nanshan Mountain, wondering if he was doing something shady.Hearing this, Bo Ming blushed, as if he had done something shameful, and a big lump formed in his heart.

After returning home, Bo Ming was going to ask Shu Chang for questioning. If this happened, he would have to discipline him well.Of course you can like other girls, but at least you have to be aboveboard, how can you be sneaky?
Everyone is talking about the matchmaker's words. As the eldest brother, he can go to the woman's house to consult the wishes of the elders, and then say that he will not be able to get engaged until next year.If Shuchang and that girl really like each other, wouldn't they be unable to wait for these days?
Seeing that Ji Wang was helping Zhaodi to pickle radishes and beans and pickles, and seeing no sign of Shu Chang, Bo Ming asked, "Ji Wang, where did your third brother go?"

Ji Wang saw that his elder brother was asking questions with a lot of thoughts, but he didn't know the reason, "The third brother went to cut firewood in the afternoon, and he hasn't come back yet." Bo Ming and Zhong Ping looked at each other after listening. Yue's girl is having a tryst?
Both Bo Ming and Zhong Ping didn't want to believe this was true, so they didn't make a sound, and asked Shu Chang when he came back.

Not long after, Shuchang came back with most of the load of firewood.Boming looked at the firewood that wasn't enough, and became even more suspicious, "Shuchang, tell the truth to elder brother, have you met a girl named Yinyue on the mountain these few days?" He said that his brother had a tryst.

Shuchang's face suddenly changed, and he turned red to the base of his neck.He froze and still refused to admit it, "No, big brother, don't listen to other people's nonsense, I only talked to Yinyue a few words, how could I go to the mountain..."

Bo Ming knew that Shuchang was lying, but he didn't want to embarrass him too much, "Shuchang, if you really like that girl, don't ruin her reputation. You tell me which village she is from, and I will go to her tomorrow." home, ask her parents if they would like to promise their daughter to you next year."

Shuchang seemed to have something hard to say. If ordinary people heard this, they would definitely be very happy. If the elder brother wanted to marry him, and the girl he liked, how could he be unhappy?But his face was full of worry, "I...I...she talked to me first, and then we two...we got to know each other a little better, let's forget about the marriage."

Bo Ming was really angry now, and said with a sullen face: "If you don't like her, you should stay away from her, don't let her misunderstand. If you don't know her clearly like this, won't you ruin her reputation? ? She is a girl, how do you tell her to marry after this kind of thing gets out? You are harming her, do you know?"

Seeing that his elder brother was angry, Shuchang lowered his head as if he had made a mistake, but he didn't dare to speak back.

At this time, Zhaodi, who was pickling pickles, couldn't help but interjected, "Shuchang, brother is right. If you like that girl, just say it openly. If you don't like it, don't be with her in the future." Talking together is good for you and good for her. Whether you want to marry her or not, just tell the truth and don't make your elder brother worry about you. "

Shuchang drooped his head, "She said she... likes me, and I also think she is quite a nice person, she loves to talk and laugh, but sometimes she has a bit of a hot temper."

Bo Ming understood that what Shuchang meant was that he was satisfied with the girl, "Since that's the case, I'll go to her house tomorrow. Which village is her house in?"

Shuchang lowered his head, as if he would kill him without saying anything.

"What's the matter with you? You're usually careless and breezy, but now you're talking about your marriage. How can you be like this?" Bo Ming was really angry when he saw that he looked like a good-for-nothing.

Zhongping, who was at the side, finally couldn't help it anymore, and said sternly: "Shuchang, our family has always been open and frank, don't eat what's in the bowl and worry about what's in the pot, see how many people The girl is interested in you, so you start to...frivolous, you want this but can't let go of that, so why don't you let the eldest brother come to talk about kissing?"

Shuchang was forced to be helpless, "How can I have a fancy? Yinyue is the youngest daughter of Qian Xiucai's family. She said that her parents wanted her to be a concubine for the third young master of the Zhen family. Aren't I afraid that you will disagree? , I dare not say."

The whole family was dumbfounded. Everyone knew that there was a scholar in Qianjia Village who was particularly difficult to talk to. He thought that he was admitted as a scholar when he was young, so he ignored everyone.Later, although he didn't pass any exams, he worked as a teacher for the sons of several landlords, so he always felt that he was superior to others.

His eldest daughter was a concubine for the eldest son of Landlord Ge's family, and now he wanted his younger daughter to be a concubine for the son of Zhen's family. He was desperately trying to put his daughter in the rich family's house.It doesn't matter whether the daughter has status in the man's family, or whether she will be bullied, as long as the marriage is with a respectable and rich family.

It's not good for Shuchang to like someone, but he even fell in love with the daughter of such a family. Isn't this going to compete with the Zhen family for a woman?Bo Ming was silent, Zhong Ping, Zhao Di and Ji Wang were still dumbfounded, they couldn't believe it.

After a long time, Boming asked very conflictingly: "She said she likes you, so you think she is nice? Do you really like her, have you figured it out yourself? Either you like her or you like her, and you have to..." Bo Ming was too embarrassed to say what else to do, he felt that he had to be like what he did to Ying Niang, panicked, uncomfortable, and out of mind after seeing her for a few days.

In fact, Boming wanted to hear from Shuchang that he didn't like Yinyue at all.But Shuchang responded in a low voice: "Hi...I like it."

Bo Ming was really in trouble, his younger brother fell in love with someone, and he had to fight for him as the eldest brother.But Yinyue's parents definitely don't agree, they might even be kicked out if they come to say it.

Bo Ming thought for a while and then asked: "Does the Zhen family really want to accept Yinyue as a concubine, or is Qian Xiucai's wishful thinking?"

Shuchang didn't dare to look up, "It seems that the third young master of the Zhen family met Yinyue some time ago, and then sent someone to the Qian's family to say that he wanted to take Yinyue as a concubine. Yinyue said that when his father went to the Zhen's family I don't know what to do, but I have to take her with me. If she knew that his father deliberately wanted the Zhen family's son to fancy her, even if he killed her, she would not follow her. Yinyue doesn't like Zhen's son at all. The third young master of the family said that he was in his 30s and could soon be her father, she didn't want to be a child, she said she wanted...follow me."

Bo Ming vaguely felt that Shuchang was in trouble, and if Yen Zicha found out about it, he still didn't know how to deal with Shuchang.Eighty to nine times out of ten, the matter between Shuchang and Yinyue will not work out, and if there is a big trouble, Yingniang may be involved.

At this time, Zhong Ping jumped up and scolded Shu Chang, "It's not good for you to offend anyone. You even offended Qian Xiucai's daughter, and now you have offended the Zhen family. The sister-in-law is still the leader of the Zhen family's weaving workshop. Isn't this something about your bad sister-in-law?"

Shuchang also knew that he had caused a big problem, "Then I'll go and tell Yinyue if I have a chance...that I can't get together with her." Thinking that Yinyue would definitely cry to death, he couldn't bear it, and continued, "If I ruin Yinyue's reputation, will the Zhen family not want her?"

Boming heard what Shuchang meant, and Shuchang still wanted Yinyue, "I'll go to Qianjia Village tomorrow, and tell you about Yinyue and her parents. Maybe they're afraid If your story gets out, you don't dare to send Yinyue to Zhen's house."

Hearing this, Shuchang felt a little happy, as if he saw a glimmer of hope.Suddenly Boming asked again: "You don't really want to do anything to Yinyue, do you?"

Shuchang hurriedly said, "No, no, how dare I."

At this time, Yingniang came back, and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw that the atmosphere was not right, "What's the matter, did your brothers quarrel?" This was the first time she saw their brothers standing stiffly like this, all of them looked wrong , angry angry, frowning frown.

Bo Ming dragged Ying Niang into his room, and asked Di and the others to go to the kitchen to cook. Shu Chang knew that he had caused trouble for the family, so he stood still in the yard with his head drooping.

When he got to the house, Boming told Yingniang about Shuchang and asked her if she had any good ideas.

Yingniang was stunned for a long time before she digested this matter. Unexpectedly, the young Shuchang would play free love, but the resistance was too great.

In fact, Yingniang has a lot of worries, "Boming, Shuchang has someone he likes. We, as brothers and sisters-in-law, naturally help if we can, and don't let him down. But, you have to be mentally prepared, even if The matter is over, and we will have a lot of troubles in the future with an in-law like Qian Xiucai. I don't know if Yinyue is a good girl to get along with. If she is a good girl, she will live well with Shuchang. Trouble, we have to bear it too."

"Is Zhen Zicha going to kill Shuchang? I heard that he would bring his servants to beat people if he didn't like anyone. Last year, I heard that he broke the leg of a young man in Lijia Village. If he knew Shuchang and him rob women, how can we let Shuchang go?" This is what Boming is most worried about, he is a powerful family, even if he kills someone, he is probably fine, because it is said that Zhen Yuanwai has a close relationship with the magistrate and county magistrate .

Yingniang already knew about Yen Zicha's misdeeds, of course she knew that Yen Zicha would not let Shuchang go easily, "I'll ask Shuchang later to see if he really wants to marry Yinyue, if he really wants to marry Yinyue, If that’s the case, Donnie Yen will check there and I will find a solution.”

Hearing what Yingniang said, Bo Ming felt sorry for her, "Yen Zicha always looked sideways at you, as if venting his anger with his nose, don't plead with him for Shuchang, I really don't want you to be angry with him .Or call Shuchang and forget about Yinyue. The two of them will never see each other again, and Yen Zicha will not know about it."

Yingniang asked him back, "When you see Shuchang sad, will you feel better?"

Boming was questioned, and Shuchang couldn't get the woman he liked, and he, the big brother, would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Yingniang called Shuchang in, and Shuchang was ashamed, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about my affairs, don't let the Zhen family bear grudges against you. When Zhen Zicha comes to trouble me, I will be alone It's fine for people to bear it."

"If he breaks your leg, can you still stand it? You are disabled, Qian Xiucai will marry your daughter? Yinyue is willing to live with a disabled person?" Yingniang asked a series of rhetorical questions, choking her uncle. Chang could no longer speak.

Yingniang sighed and said: "Don't meet Yinyue again these few days, if you are caught, I'm afraid your life will be lost. Let your eldest brother go to Qian's house tomorrow, and in two days I will have a day off, and then I will go meet Yinyue for a while to see if she really insists on you not to marry. Don't worry about your shaving head, she doesn't care."

Shuchang nodded obediently and went out.

After dinner, Boming and Zhongping cut several pairs of wooden needle sticks according to Yingniang's description, and then Yingniang came to teach Zhaodi how to weave clothes.

Although Zhaodi is dexterous, her comprehension is limited, not to mention she has never touched this kind of thing, Yingniang insisted on teaching her for an hour before she could knit the simplest flat stitch so-so.

Bo Ming and Zhong Ping were winding the wire there, and Ying Niang also taught the winding method.Bo Ming supported the thread with both hands, and Zhongping reeled the thread into big balls.

Everyone pretended to be about Shuchang in their hearts, and they didn't say much all the time.At this time, Zhaodi sighed, "Sister-in-law, do you think that Yinyue is a bit out of duty? How can a girl who has not been out of the cabinet meet men casually. But Shuchang seems to like her very much. If there is no Zhen There is nothing wrong with the family, but our family is no match for the Zhen family, and we have formed an enmity with the Zhen family, and our family may not have a good life."

"Isn't it? That's why I told Shuchang not to meet Yinyue again. Maybe it's been a long time, and he doesn't miss her so much. If after a while, it's still the one who doesn't marry the other party, and the one who doesn't marry the other party." , let’s help them. Yen Zicha may not be as vicious as we imagined, and when the time comes, I will find someone to intercede with him, and maybe things will work out.”

Zhong Ping frowned when he heard this, "Being in-laws with Qian Xiucai's snobbish eyes, just thinking about it will bother you! If you want to talk about me, let Shuchang die!"

In fact, Birming really wanted to do this, but the matter could not be solved so simply and rudely.He also thought about it differently, if he and Yingniang wanted to be together, and others forcibly separated them, he would not give up no matter what. "Zhongping, don't say such things in front of Shuchang, he may be able to bear it as a man, if that Yinyue finds out what our family means, and she can't bear it, and she wants to seek life and death, then there will be a big fuss gone."

Zhao Di and Zhong Ping were also frightened when they heard Bo Ming said that they were afraid of causing death, so the family should not be sued because of this.

Yingniang also knows that this kind of fact is tricky. Women in ancient times can't bear other people's gossip, let alone being abandoned by the man they like. Maybe they will really hang themselves or throw themselves into the river as Boming said. When the time comes The Qian family must never end with the Xue family.

Yingniang also thought of her predecessor in this body because she refused to marry Bo Ming, a monk, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the river, otherwise she would not have crossed into Yingniang's body.

That night, Boming and Yingniang tossed and turned for more than an hour before falling asleep, while Shuchang stayed up all night. He felt guilty for causing trouble to the family, but he was also reluctant to give up Yinyue just like that.Yinyue told him that if she was to be a concubine, she would rather die, so how could he have the heart to let Yinyue die?

In the early morning of the next day, Boming saw Shuchang's gray face, his eyes were absent-minded, and his eye circles were dark, and he knew that he must have not slept well all night, so he could also see his sincerity towards Yinyue.

Bo Ming went to town with Yingniang, "Yingniang, when I meet Qian Xiucai later, what should I call him and how much should I bring?"

Yingniang thought for a while, and said: "You can call him Uncle Qian, he is an elder, it's better to be respectful in his tone. If he is disrespectful to you, you don't need to be polite to him, but you must let him know that his daughter How important reputation is, if the Zhen family knew about Yinyue and Shuchang, they wouldn't want his family's Yinyue to be a concubine. This time you're just going to ask questions, and it's not considered a marriage proposal. You only need to bring a Just a small gift for a meeting."

Bo Ming felt that what Yingniang said was very reasonable, so he nodded his head, and seeing Yingniang entered the weaving workshop, he turned around and went to the shop to buy something.
