Today, he originally thought that he could reveal what was in his heart in front of his father and shopkeeper Li by taking into account the safety of his body, but he never thought that he would end up in such a situation!
On that day, I swore that I would marry * into the capital with eight palanquins, and then give her the title of legal wife! The two are loving and loving, and grow old together.
But the reality is, before reaching the capital, Master Qiao's "No" shattered a beautiful dream. The bride is gone, the festive guard of honor is gone, and the only thing left is the title of "Tongfang Maid".
As Qiao Zizhang read and complained, all his bloody strength turned into veins on his fists bursting out.
With a "snap", it hit the carved wooden bed frame heavily.
The surrounding curtains swayed unceasingly, as if his state of mind was in chaos.
"Come on!" Qiao Zizhang shouted.
"Master Zizhang, what's the matter?" Qiao's servant answered outside the door.
"Go, get some brand new quilts, and bring me my new porcelain pillow!" Qiao Zizhang roared as he walked back and forth in the room, like an angry caged animal.
"But, Master Zizhang, it's almost three o'clock. Going to the storeroom this time may disturb others in the courtyard. Why don't we come back tomorrow..." the servant asked tentatively.
"What? My young master's words don't work anymore, right? Now even a servant dares to refute?" Qiao Zizhang was furious, kicked the hollow mahogany round chair in the room to the ground, and rolled down a long way.
"Yes, Master Zizhang, please calm down, I'll go now, I'll go!" The servant turned pale with fright, never had the gentle and gentle Master Zizhang ever felt so angry.
"Look at the brand new things in the warehouse, I bought them all for my master! I want brand new ones!" Seeing the servant stumbling away, Qiao Zizhang roared again as he followed his back.
"Hmph, nonsense!" Master Qiao had already heard Qiao Zizhang's movements in the bedroom. Although he was a little displeased, he turned over and pretended to fall asleep, and ignored him.
That night, Qiao's family was in a hurry.
Its daybreak.
* Carrying a shriveled bag on one shoulder, she followed Shopkeeper Li and waited in front of Qiao's house early in the morning.
"*Ah! Once you enter this door, you will be the housemaid of Master Zizhang from now on, and you will no longer be the wayward and spoiled daughter by your father's side. Although Master Qiao has always been kind to our family, he is also good to you on weekdays. But after all, it is the boss, your father-in-law! From now on, those young ladies are not allowed to show their temper in Qiao's house. You must always remember your identity. Even if you are in love with Master Zizhang, he will certainly not treat you badly. Hands should be diligent, mouth should be tight, work more, talk less, if you have any grievances, bear with it, and if you can't bear it, you will ask Master Zizhang for leave and come back. Father will always be at home waiting for you." Shopkeeper Li looked at The beautiful girl in front of her, although she is married, does not look like a married woman, the deserted scene, her pale and simple face, she can't help but shed tears.
"Father, look at what you said, *you went to live a good life, don't worry, dad! *I will come back to see you as soon as I get a chance!"* pursed her lips and smiled nicely, and lightly patted the hand of shopkeeper Li .
Who knew that she had shed all tears last night.
Life! This is life!
"*Sister!" Suddenly, a girl's silver bell-like voice came from not far away.
"Sister Rou'er!" *Turned around, ran over softly and out of breath, as if holding something in her arms.
"*Sister, I thought you were dressing up today, so you went out late, but I didn't expect you to be so early. Fortunately, Rou'er is not too late, and finally caught up!" Rou'er calmed down a little, and continued, " Today is a good day for my sister. As a younger sister, I get along well with my sister, and I am often taken care of by her. Hehe, Rouer is clumsy, and there is nothing I can give away. This bag of grandparents is Rouer I made it overnight last night, and it was filled with melon seeds, peanut kernels, jujube paste, and dried longan. I wish my sister and Master Zizhang all wishes come true and a precious son will be born soon!" After speaking softly, she took the package of fragrant The snack was stuffed into *'s hand.
*'s eye sockets became moist again, but no more tears flowed.
Gently open the package, there are all kinds of exquisite snacks inside, there are lotus shape, wishful shape, mandarin duck shape...they are so beautiful, you can see the skillful hands of the person who cooked them, and it is hard to bear to eat.
"Okay, okay, go in quickly, don't make Master Zizhang wait!" Seeing that *was about to cry, Rou Rou urged with a smile.
"Wait a minute!" Just as *was about to turn around, another jade-like voice came from afar.
Wen Rou felt that the voice was extremely familiar, and then turned around.
Dressed in white, she walked slowly to the front. It could be seen that Ren Yue's foot injury had not fully recovered.
"Master Ren!" * exclaimed.
Yesterday, when Qiao Zizhang knelt down to beg for each other, Ren Yue was also present. Although there were many complaints about Qiao Zizhang afterwards, he still knew that today was a good day for the two of them.
Now that I know it, I have to come, although there is no banquet to entertain.
"Squeak." The wooden door of Qiao's house opened gently at this moment.
Perhaps the two had a tacit understanding, and perhaps Qiao Zizhang was afraid of being wronged by making him wait for a long time.
The door opened, and Qiao Zizhang stood in front of * affectionately in a crimson robe, with black eyes.
There is no auspicious suit, this is the most red dress he can find.
I wanted to greet * with my best face, but I was so busy last night that it was too late, so that I stayed all night till dawn!
"Today is a beautiful day, and Ren Yue specially came to send me a modest gift. It is not only congratulations to the girl, but also to brother Zizhang. I wish you two a happy marriage and a happy union for a hundred years!" Ren Yue saw that Qiao Zizhang also came out, and he was in his heart Overjoyed, he immediately took out a pair of red couplets from the sleeve.
Master Wushuang's calligraphy is hard to find even a single word, and no matter how many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital spend a lot of money, it is difficult to find a single symbol. Now, Ren Yue is not stingy at all, and writes down the horoscope of happy couples eloquently. This is probably a priceless treasure in Dazhou!
"Mr. Ren, thank you!" Qiao Zizhang took the calligraphy with both hands, stabilized his emotions, and continued, "One day, I will invite Mr. Ren to drink, and I will not return when I am not drunk, as a token of my gratitude!"
"Hehe, there's no need to drink, you can't drink as much as me! Let's treat the *girl nicely!" Ren Yue smiled, and gently pulled Wen Rou beside him, signaling to send the new couple in early.
The bright sunlight in early summer casts obliquely on Qiao's courtyard.
The closed gate, the high wall, and the mottled tree shadows are all elongated, and the warm wind is blowing, but shopkeeper Li's heart is cold and empty.
The future chosen by her own daughter, once she entered the rich family's mansion, from then on the young lady became a servant girl...
