Reinstated the state.
Wu Clan.
A girl was reading in the garden.
The garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and a few beautiful butterflies were flying around. One moment, it flew to the flower, and the next moment, it flew to the girl's hand.
Jingwa wasn't annoyed and blew gently.
The butterfly flapped its wings and flew back to the flowers.
What a cute little girl!
Not far away.
A middle-aged couple looked at the little girl with doting smiles on their faces.
However, this smile disappeared in an instant. It was replaced by a heavy and difficult feeling.
"Madam, Third Brother has sent a letter. The letter said,"He found a talented seven-year-old child and wants us to betroth Qing 'er to him."”The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Madam was unusually dissatisfied.""Qing-er is only nine years old this year. How can she marry someone so quickly? Besides, being young might not be good! The child was smart now, but what about when he grew up?”
"Moreover, the child is still a child of a peasant family. How can a 'scholar' marry a peasant family?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man fell silent.
He also couldn't bear to arrange a husband for his younger daughter so early.
However, in the entire clan, only his third brother was the smartest. At the age of forty, he had already become the county magistrate of a large county.
For this reason, almost all of the family's resources were given to him. Even if there was any major matter in the family, his father would write to him and ask for his third brother's opinion.
This was a "scholar"!
One person is an official, and the whole family is exempted from corvee.
If it weren't for his third brother, the enormous Wu Clan would have long become a piece of meat on someone else's plate.
"Furen, but Third Brother has already sent two letters over, asking me to bring Qing 'er over as soon as possible.”
"No! I don't want to get married. Besides, how can the folk customs of the world send their daughters to their doorstep?”Madam said angrily.
"But Madam..."
The two of them quarreled in the garden, their voices getting louder and louder.
The girl who was reading closed her book and rushed over.
Her face was full of tears as she threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Mother, I don't want to marry. Qing-er doesn't want to get married!"
Jingwa cried loudly. She cried so sadly, so sadly.
The middle-aged woman became even more determined when she heard her daughter's cries.
"Qing-er, don't cry. Mother won't let you marry! Don't cry!"
As the woman comforted her daughter, she raised her head and glared at her husband angrily."Husband, there is no reason to marry at the age of nine in this world. This concubine will never agree!"
"Madam, the third brother in the letter said that it was only first engagement!" It's an engagement!"
"Not even an engagement! As a father, are you that heartless? Do you want to push Qing Er into the fire pit so badly? Qing-er is only nine years old, only nine years old."
"I…I…"
At this moment.
The butler quickly walked into the backyard.
"Master, I received a letter from Jiangling of the Jing State.”
What was that?
Another letter from Third Brother? Oh my god, this was already three consecutive messages!
The middle-aged man quickly took the letter and opened it.
As expected!
It was another "Come to Jiangling" letter.
This time, the third brother of the county magistrate changed the words "persuasion" from the previous two letters. His tone became a little fierce. In the letter, he used his identity as the next chief of the Wu clan to urge his "second brother" to do as he was told.
"Madam, read the letter too! The
middle-aged man sighed and handed the letter to his wife.
Madam took the letter and read it. Her face changed drastically.
Ever since he married into the Wu family, this was the first time his uncle had used his status to pressure someone, and it was his own brother.
This was a big taboo in the era of filial piety.
Was Little Uncle crazy?
Did he really value that child so much that he would disregard his brotherhood?
"Husband, I…I…"
Facing such a letter, the woman was helpless and could only shed tears.
However, that was not all.
While the couple was in a state of silence, a series of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
A moment later, a large group of people barged into the backyard. They were all elders of the clan.
The couple was shocked and quickly pulled the girl forward to greet her.
"Greetings, Patriarch, Uncle, and Father! Why are you here?"
The old man in the lead waved his hand and asked directly, You received Wen Xuan's letter?"
"Yes, three letters in a row!”
The middle-aged man nodded honestly.
"Do it immediately! "Also, Madame Wu…" The old man looked at the woman with an icy gaze. You're the Wu family's wife. Everything had to be for the sake of the Wu family. It has not been easy for our Wu clan to be passed down since the end of the Sui Dynasty. Don't ruin the future of our clan!”
In ancient times, such words were extremely severe criticism, and could even be a legitimate reason to divorce a wife.
The woman knelt down on the spot and remained silent. Tears fell like rain.
"Wen Yue!"
"Father, your son is here!”
"Don't blame the patriarch, and don't blame third brother. This is the decision that all of us have made after careful consideration. It is related to whether the Wu clan can soar."
"Yes, Father!"
"Bring Qing-er and follow us.”
"Here!"
Facing the oppression of the entire clan, the middle-aged man could only accept his fate.
Anyone born in the Wu clan had to contribute to the clan. Whether it was the clan leader, his third brother, or his little daughter.
This was fate!
Sigh!
"Qing-er, come. Father will carry you away!"
"Mother, mother…I won't marry, I won't marry for the rest of my life. Mother, save me, save Qing-er!"
The little girl burst into tears again, clutching her mother's clothes tightly.
Unfortunately, her mother could only kneel on the ground and cry.
In the end, the middle-aged man carried the girl and left the backyard. They got into the carriage…
When everyone left, the woman could no longer suppress the grief in her heart and began to wail.
"Qing 'er, I'm really Qing' er!”
His voice was miserable and sorrowful, resounding throughout the entire backyard.
It was a mother's heart that had been shattered.
At this moment, no one knew what would happen in the future. The Wu Clan did not know, and neither did the woman.
It was a young man who was like a god. His name would be famous in the Central Plains, in the world, and even for thousands of years.
If he didn't invest now, it would be too late!
For example…at the
same time. Jiangling County. Zhang Manor.
The eldest young master of the Zhang family had returned with the gifts that he had not given.
"Father, I didn't see Miss Chen and Little Baby.”
What was that?
"Why?" Zhang Chuannan was shocked.”
"Xishan Village has an additional troop of soldiers guarding the village entrance. When I went there, they chased me back!”
As soon as he said that, Zhang Chuannan instantly collapsed to the ground, feeling extremely regretful.
It was over!
It was over!
The cooked duck flew away. The opportunity for our Zhang family to rise to glory is gone just like that.
That child was originally discovered by our Zhang family first. It's ours!
Wuwuwu, wuwuwu
…Little friends, vote!)
