Jiusu won three million in the lottery, then overworked herself to death that very night. She transmigrated to ancient times, where her brother and sister-in-law wanted to sell her as a concubine. ...
Chapter 264 I'm getting married, will you come?
Zheng Rouer walked up to him and was slightly stunned. She couldn't tell whether the tears on his face were snow water or snow water. When she heard the man say "Hou Mansion", she understood.
She asked, "You regret it, don't you?"
Chen Zhao nodded, listened to the laughter in the house, picked up the broom at the door and swept the snow away, but the haze in his heart could not be swept away.
"I've already regretted it."
His heart seemed to be in an endless abyss, and he didn't know where hatred came from, nor where love came from.
Zheng Rouer dragged the man to a secluded corner and asked sadly, "You still like Jiusu, right? Then go ahead, go to the house and apologize to her. Her mother is here, go and propose marriage, go ahead."
The woman kept slapping the man's arm.
But she didn't dare speak too loudly, for fear that the people in the room would hear, for fear that the two of them would reconcile, and for fear that she would not see Chen Zhao again.
Chen Zhao frowned and said, "I'm already a bad person, why bother to disgust others? Just go home. You stay here every day, aren't you afraid of rumors?"
Zheng Rouer scratched her hair and said irritably, "I've already said it."
Snowflakes fell on the two of them, but it wasn't cold in the narrow corridor. She rubbed her hands, slid down the wall to the ground, and sat down, feeling her butt cold.
But I can calm my mind.
She said, "If I can't marry you, everyone will laugh at me and no one will want me. I'm afraid all that's left for me is regret and sorrow."
Being told that you are dead is the most terrifying thing.
Chen Zhaodao: "If you marry me, people will talk about you too."
"At least I have you." Zheng Rouer raised her head, feeling annoyed and angry, and looked at the man. She had been living in this yard, being filial to Chen Zhao's mother and learning to please Chen Zhao.
But since when did Chen Zhao not touch her?
Even if she ran into his room at night.
He would rather freeze outside all day than stay with her.
"I miss you."
Chen Zhao sighed deeply, and the images of Jiusu and Bai Luoxue appeared in front of his eyes, gradually becoming blurred. He held Zheng Rouer's arm and pulled her up.
He asked, "Are you sure you want to follow me?"
"Sure!" Zheng Rouer raised her finger. "When I was little, I swore that I would marry you when I grew up."
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chen Zhao caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure out of the corner of his eye.
He put his arm around Zheng Rouer's waist and said, "Then let's get married."
Zheng Rouer excitedly hugged his strong waist and cried with sobs. Suddenly, she met Jiusu's indifferent eyes, and suddenly, her heart felt sour.
Amidst suspicion and speculation, my heart became increasingly uneasy.
"Let's go out together to see her off."
Chen Zhao held her hand, looked at Jiusu and said, "I'm getting married, will you come?"
Jiusu said: "Maybe I don't have time."
"You don't have to feel bad. It is said that a husband and wife will be bound by a hundred days of grace after being married for a day. What's more, you have waited for me for a year. I am afraid we are not destined to be together." Chen Zhao said this.
But his eyes were fixed on Jiusu.
However, the woman chuckled and didn't seem to take it to heart.
Jiusu said calmly: "Chen Zhao, don't go astray again, take good care of your godmother, and don't mention the past anymore. It's boring to talk about it like this."
Sigh—
drive!
The carriage sped away, leaving a thin trail of silver on the snow.
Mrs. Lu placed her hand on her son's clenched fist and said, "Zhao'er, next spring, can you hunt a rabbit for me?"
Chen Zhao agreed: "No problem, I've been practicing martial arts diligently these past few days. When the snow melts, I'll catch a rabbit for you."
He took a deep breath, almost giving in to hatred.
I should go to town tomorrow and buy a copy of the Heart Purification Mantra.
Zheng Rouer grabbed his sleeve and asked anxiously, "Are you serious about marrying me?"
"Yes, it's true." Chen Zhao looked at the red couplet on the door and said, "After the New Year, I will go hunting and earn some money so I can marry you. Tomorrow, I will go home with you."
He stepped onto the stairs, his pupils trembled slightly, and his memory went back to two years ago.
"Thank you for saving me. Let's get married. Tomorrow I will bring a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage."
The girl's shy expression was the same as Zheng Rouer's.
Zheng Rouer shook her head and refused: "If I don't go home, do you want to change your mind and don't want to marry me?"
Chen Zhaodao said, "Marrying a wife and having children is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. You must get your parents' approval before you can proceed. We have gone too far recently."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "I'll go with you and apologize to Rou'er's parents."
There was finally laughter in the yard.
Yi Hui saw everything: "Yuyu, what are you thinking about?"
Jiusu said, "One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad for Zheng Rouer. But, isn't this also a kind of wish fulfillment?"
Chen Wu's family had already moved away. Seeing how badly Chen Zhao was beaten, they decided to split up the family. They gave up the house and land and took all the money in the house with them.
Zheng Rouer and Chen Zhao came to the factory.
Qian Junjie said with difficulty, "There are already a lot of people in the factory, and they are all on vacation these days. You should go home and wait for news. I will have someone notify you two after the New Year."
After closing the factory gate, he rode his horse back to the county town.
Happy New Year!
The hot pot restaurant was packed and the arrangement was not carried out. Qian Junjie did not get to eat hot pot, but the Qian family arranged a mutton banquet. After being discovered by Zhang Tu, he sat down shamelessly.
He brought Cheng Yan'er with him.
"Is Master Jiu coming too?"
"I have already sent someone to invite him." Master Qian was a little speechless. They were having a meal, why was the county magistrate here?
Zhang Tu said with a smile, "Master Qian, you are welcome. Please sit down. There is a misunderstanding between Master Jiu and me. I would like to borrow your land. When the time comes, please speak well of me."
Mrs. Qian and Luhe looked at each other.
Lu He was speechless. She heard that this corrupt official was responsible for the bandits' smooth entry into the county town, and now he was even licking their lips in front of her.
She rolled her eyes and cursed inwardly.
"There's something wrong."
Mrs. Qian patted the back of her hand and said, "Go and see if Miss Jiu is here?"
Luhe walked out of the mansion and met Jiusu who had just entered the Qian Mansion.
She sighed and said, "The county magistrate is here and wants to see you. If you don't want to see him, just say you're out."
Jiusu asked, "Is Cheng Yan'er here?"
Lu He was stunned. She didn't know who Cheng Yan'er was.
"Well, he has a pregnant concubine."
"Then let's meet." Jiusu waved his hand, signaling Zitan to hand the gift to the housekeeper, "The fine salt from the factory is delicious for cooking."
Luhe thanked him and led him into the main room.
Zhang Tu stood up and looked at the person in front of him out of the corner of his eye, "Master Jiu, are you feeling better?"
Jiusu said calmly, "Thank you, County Magistrate, for your concern."
The mutton was delicious and the meat was well stewed.
The Qian family's two men came into battle and got Zhang Tu drunk. Zhang Tu couldn't open his eyes. He raised his hand and wanted to say something to Jiusu, but in the end, he just burped.
He fell asleep on the table.
Cheng Yan'er felt uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol, but she was just a concubine and could not leave. She supported the county magistrate, shouted a few times, then raised her head and smiled apologetically.
"Sorry... Ugh!"
She covered her mouth, ran to the yard, and vomited into a wooden bucket.
Jiusu stood behind her and asked, "If she gave birth to a premature baby but a healthy, full-term child, Zhang Tu would definitely be suspicious, right?"
