Chapter 160: Underworld
Cui Baozhu's stepmother has always had this idea, which is to betroth her to Fengxianhou's foolish son, so as to attract a powerful in-law, so that her husband can advance to a higher level in his official career.
Cui Baozhu was naturally unwilling and even threatened death.
Her stepmother was afraid of pushing her too hard and didn't dare to be too tough.
But this traitorous intention never died, and he tried every means to force her to submit.
But recently Cui's father got news that he would most likely be sent to Jiangya County.
Not only was the place impoverished, but there were also bandits, so he naturally didn't want to go there.
So stepmother Leng came back to her old thoughts, thinking that as long as this marriage was established, Cui's father would naturally not need to be transferred outside.
Even if it's an external transfer, you still have to find a lucrative position.
So he and his father lowered their posture and begged.
Cui Baozhu is a young girl. Even though she can be cruel to her stepmother, she is always a little intolerant to her biological father.
What's more, these two people talked sweetly and coaxed her to tell her how charitable the Fengxian Hou family was. Although the young master was a bit stupid, he would definitely listen to her in everything after marrying her.
What's more, as long as he has his own child, what else does the husband have to worry about? If you have money and support, don't you live the same life?
Even if such a silly husband knows how to look for flowers and ask for advice, he is not half-hearted, which can be regarded as a great blessing among misfortunes.
He also said that now the whole family must rely on her, and as long as she nods her head, she is the number one hero of the family.
All in all, it's all very exciting.
After saying this, he started to scare her, saying that if she followed him to a remote country, not to mention marrying into the prince's mansion, it would not be easy even if she wanted to marry a scholar.
I have spent most of my life in the mountains and seas. I can't see through it and can't return to the capital.
With such back and forth, even an iron stone man would be coaxed to turn around. What's more, Cui Baozhu is just a teenage girl, and her thoughts are somewhat wandering.
Who is her stepmother? Cui Baozhu's mental activities can be seen by observing his words and expressions.
So he hurriedly went to Fengxian Hou's house to report the news and discuss the matter of getting married. I'm afraid they are the only ones in the capital who are so eager for women.
By coincidence, Cui Baozhu's nanny was working as a maid in Fengxian's house.
After hearing people talking about this, I was so panicked that I hurriedly reported to her.
This nanny actually loves her sincerely, but how can Mrs. Leng tolerate such a person around Cui Baozhu? So after he passed the door, he deliberately found a reason to send her away.
It was no coincidence that this nanny worked in Fengxianhou's family. She knew the details of his family. It was God's will.
She told Cui Baozhu these words, and Cui Baozhu was like a thunderbolt after hearing it.
Before, she only thought that the youngest son of the Fengxian Hou family was a fool. Marrying a fool was against her true intention, but since it was related to the honor and disgrace of her natal family and her own future life, it was a compromise.
But I didn't expect that this fool would be so cruel. If he married her, let alone enjoy peace and quiet, it would be difficult for him to survive. Even if he sacrificed his family to save her face and spared her life, how could she suffer less torture on a daily basis?
Moreover, one must put on a smiling face in front of others and not let the family scandal be exposed.
In this way, it would be like living in purgatory, and it would be better to die cleanly.
So he came out of the house under the pretense of relaxing, sent the maid away, and ran to the river alone to seek death.
"No wonder, the youngest son of the Fengxian Hou family is already over 20 years old and has yet to get married. With their family's status, even a fool may not be able to get a wife. I guess there are more serious problems than this." San Er Said, "What a crime."
By this time the medicine had been prepared, and Master Jing'an and Huiming brought it in.
"This bowl is for this young lady to drink." Jing'an pointed to the darkest bowl of medicinal soup and said, "This bowl is for the sister-in-law, and the remaining two bowls are for you two."
"Thank you, Master, for your hard work." Wen Mingqian stood up and thanked him.
"Amitabha, monks are compassionate and this is what we should do." Jing'an said, "Although this young lady has taken medicine and Sister Zhao, she will probably still have a high fever. She needs to cover herself with a quilt and sweat, drink more warm water, and not If you are really hot and talk nonsense, just crush this tablet and feed it.”
Jing'an explained everything one by one, and brought a few more medicines to Zhao Po basket before leaving again. By this time, it was already dark.
After everyone drank the medicine, Wen Mingqian first discussed it with Cui Baozhu.
"Miss Cui Er, your family must not know that you are here now. They must be looking around. I think no matter what, I should inform them." Wen Mingqian considered the matter more carefully.
"No, Mrs. Wen, I beg you, don't let them know, I don't want to see them." Cui Baozhu cried.
"Don't worry, they won't be able to take you away if you are like this." Wen Mingqian reassured, "But if you don't let them know, they will definitely send us back. You can't stay here longer if you want."
Cui Baozhu knew that what she said was reasonable, so he stopped blocking her.
Wen Mingqian said to Zhao Pokuang again: "Sister Zhao, thanks to you today. It's getting late, you should go back and take care of your family. I'll give you these clothes. Anyway, no one here wears them. After you go back, I'll probably be sick for a few days. Take this medicine and take good care of it when you go back. I'll give you this money, which will last for a while.
Don't be stupid. If you are so strong that your body is exhausted, who can your family count on? ”
"Madam, you can't do this, you can't do it! You have given me these clothes, and the master's wife has given me these medicines, which is enough. I have a strong body, this is not a big deal."
"I insist on doing this, so don't hold me back, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Wen Mingqian said, "Sang Er, you go out with Sister Zhao, hire a car to take her home, and then go to Cui Mansion to report the news .”
"I know, I will do it properly." Sang Er took the ten taels of silver from Wen Mingqian's hand, put on his clothes, and pulled Sister Zhao out.
"Wait!" Cui Baozhu stopped them and took a golden hairpin from his head, "I don't have anything extra with me, so I gave this hairpin to this sister-in-law! Although it is not enough to repay the grace of saving my life, But at least it is my heart. If I still live, I will continue to repay you.”
Sister Zhao naturally refused to accept it, so Sang Er accepted it for her: "This little thing is nothing to Miss Cui and my mother-in-law, but it can save you from your worries. Why don't you accept it?"< br>
After saying that, he dragged her out, bought some snacks and cooked food with his own money on the street, and followed Zhao Pokun to her house.
At first glance, it turned out that the house was completely bare, but it was kept very clean.
Sang Er couldn't stay any longer, so he explained a few words to Zhao Pokung's husband, left his things and left.
