In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Shi sent someone to the Chengmen Weisuo to take leave. Only then and his wife were slowly grooming their formal clothes.

Mrs. Xiao saw her husband could not restrain the corners of his mouth, and tightened his belt forcefully: "Tighten your face, today we are going to retire, not to receive a reward."

Cheng Shi stroked his waistline, which was a little loose recently, and whispered, "You feel dissatisfied after hearing about Cheng Shun's report for the past two days! Hiss...Take it easy, especially Yesterday, yesterday! The two most outstanding sons in the capital city are all in our daughter's bowl!"

"Pretend, then pretend! I don't know who was tossing and turning last night and couldn't fall asleep? Hey, you used to worry about curling up or not getting married, but now it seems to be unfounded!"

Mrs. Xiao said: "I can tell you that in the next days, no matter who proposes marriage, I will stabilize it, don't be like the Lou family, just agree with a white face , It's like I haven't seen a marriage proposal in three lifetimes."

Thinking of the future husband-in-law candidate, Father Cheng was blushing, as if smearing lard: "Hey, when did you say when someone would come to propose? I bet within half a month. And , who do you think will come first?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Xiao said, "I just quit my relationship with the Lou family, and I have to wait for two months to slow down. It seems that we have a candidate for a son-in-law. As for the candidate... I'd rather be Yuan Shanjian..."

"Huh? Why not Ling Zisheng." Cheng Shi's thoughts were very simple and rude, "He is even more powerful."

Mrs. Xiao pondered for a long time, and sighed: "...I don't understand him, he is not very popular in life, and he does not enter the oil and salt. Besides, if you are sure, then go out and curl up Okay, let's go back and don't come to propose, let's see what will happen to the curls."

Cheng Shi immediately persuaded: "This can't be said, if we are self-indulgent, don't let it go and rejoice. Forget it, maybe you and I are thinking too much, and they have no plans at all. Getting married is just a helping hand.”

is in mourning.

Today, the main hall of Lou's house is closed, and in the center sits Lou Tai servant and Cheng Shi. , while Mrs. Lou is below Mrs. Lou and Mrs. Lou, Mrs. 1 and Mrs. 2 are kneeling on the lower head.

Cheng Shi made it clear that he meant to retire in a few words, Lou Yao became anxious when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Shao Shang, it was fine yesterday, why are you today... just... I sent someone to your house last night, but the maid said you were resting."

Shao Shang's eyes were red and swollen, and she felt that the tears that should have flowed were all over last night, and now she is full of sense of humor: "Yesterday, when I boarded the He family carriage, it was a quarter of noon, and you didn't stop at night. Go to me, if An Chengjun has the intention to harm me, then she will be able to destroy the body and destroy the traces, and there will be no evidence of death, then your uncle Lou Taishou does not need to take leave today."

Mrs. Lou wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, Mrs. Er shook her head and smiled, Mrs. Lou Er was at a loss; Only Lou Yao was stunned: "No, no, no..." He thought that the Young Chamber of Commerce would come to tell him immediately after the incident, but there was no news until the evening.

Cheng Shi turned his head to look at Lou Tai Pu, only to see Lou Tai Pu shaking his head and sighing deeply, his face was somber, and he said nothing.

He hated the death of a scholar the most in his life, and now he went straight to the killer: "If the servant doesn't speak, I will go out when I leave the house today, and our Cheng family has already come to the house to withdraw from the relatives. But the Lou family will not agree no matter what, and will not agree!"

Taipu Lou was shocked: "Ah..." Mrs. Lou said excitedly: "Xiaowei Cheng speaks carefully!"

"That is to promise to retire." Cheng Shi said, "then return the tokens of each other quickly. I brought Wending's mutton fat jade today, my golden tiger tower county prime minister. Isn't it already sent back to the capital, take it out. Tear up the engagement papers of the two families a few more times, and the matter will be over."

This time even Mrs. Lou didn't know what to say, and the audience fell into an awkward silence. Although they were well prepared, the Cheng family acted so neatly that everyone in the Lou family didn't know what to do. All right.

Shao Shang was expressionless, and said: "You have two answers to this question. To make a long story short, my parents and my mother were grateful for the loyal ministers and good generals who fought for the country until the family was destroyed. Therefore, the Cheng family was determined to complete General He. Last words."

After saying this, everyone in the Lou family looked at her blankly, especially Mrs. Lou—isn't this what she just said a few days ago? It also drew you a sneer.

The second young lady of Lou smiled and said, "Miss Cheng is very righteous, sacrifices herself and obeys justice, which is really admirable."

"Second sister!" Lou Yao shouted.

The second young lady of Lou did not lift her eyelids: "Why, what is wrong with Mrs. Cheng, or do you really want a few brothers to divorce their wives and marry another."

Cheng Yao's face turned red, and then turned from red to purple. He was not good at words, and at this time, the big reason was with the other party, and he couldn't say anything more, so he could only be in a hurry.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and she simply said, "Since there is no objection on both sides, hurry up and return the token and tear up the marriage certificate."

The second lady also wept softly: "Ayao, just listen to everyone, I also like Shaoshang, but...but..."

"But the situation is like this, Yao, you have to be obedient!" Mrs. Lou said oppressively.

Lou Yao froze on the ground for a long time, suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "I won't quit my relatives, I won't! You have used a lot of great truths to deceive me since you were young. This is benevolence and righteousness, and that is the way to repay the kindness, but the whole family is the only one who is wronged, only me! You can either watch the fire from the other side, or say something that doesn't hurt or itchy, it's my mother, no matter how much your heart hurts me, you can't finish it for me For the rest of my life! Why must it be me, why?!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Lou Er covered her face and fell to the ground crying, Mrs. Lou had a displeased face, and Mrs. Lou sighed and turned her back. Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao glanced at each other, unwilling to intervene in Lou's private affairs. To put it in a helpless way, in a family like Lou, whether the marriage is successful or not depends only on the meaning of the elders, how can the children and grandchildren betray.

Shao Shang looked at the young man's angry and aggrieved face, and laughed, "Ayao, are your legs okay?"

Lou Yao was stunned for a moment, and his anger was restrained for a while, and he said embarrassingly: "Actually, I was able to stand up long ago, but the doctor told me to raise it for a few more days, so I asked someone to carry it."

Shao Shang is not without sadness: "This is great, An Chengjun must be filial and filial to get married, and then your legs and feet will be neat."

"You...you..." Lou Yao became anxious again.

Shao Shang said softly: "Ayao, you can listen to what I have to say. Okay, you sit down first, then let's talk briefly..."

Gan Louyao suppressed her anger and sat down slowly before she said: "We have talked about everything in the past few months. You tell me, although you don't like An Chengjun, but General He He is very good to you. You have loved martial arts since you were a child, and no one in the Lou family can lead you, but General He will always take the time to teach you no matter how busy he is. It can be said that he is also a teacher and a father. You love him very much, right or not? Forbearance He Zhaojun, half is in favor of righteousness, and the other half is in the face of General He."

Lou Yao's anger was slightly reduced, and he was silent.

Shao Shang continued: "There is also the fifth son of the He family, he is only two years older than you, and he has taken you to fish and shoot birds since you were a child, and walk around. Your first small bamboo bow It's what he made for you. It's like what you like, and it's kept to this day. But..."

She changed her tone, "But do you know that when Fifth Young Master He brought a team of scouts to break through to report a letter, he was thrown to the ground by the Xiao family rebels, and then trampled by horses. It's become mashed!"

Lou Tai servant sighed and turned his head in tears. He knew about this, but the family members didn't know it. Mrs. Lou's mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law shrank back in horror, and Mrs. Lou Er immediately cried. Only Mrs. Lou Er was calm, but she couldn't help lowering her head to wipe her tears.

Lou Yao stared at her big eyes and shed tears.

"I asked my second brother carefully. Not only the fifth son died tragically, but also the eldest son and the fourth son. Life and death on the battlefield are common, but the rebels wanted to provoke General He out of the city , actually dragged the corpses of the two sons behind the horse and ran around the city, and finally even cut off their heads and put them on the tip of the spear to show off their might. When you were young, didn't the eldest son often put you on your shoulders to pick fruits? Horseback riding is taught by the Fourth Young Master. But they are dead without a corpse!"

Lou Yao was already in tears. The rest of the female family members wept softly, and even Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao couldn't bear to turn around and sigh.

"...The second son was pierced by several arrows at the head of the city. It dragged on for a day and a night, but he couldn't make it through. The third son collapsed when he led the reinforcements back, and died in battle..." Shao Shang Unconsciously, her eyes moistened again, "Second Young Master's wife was pregnant and was killed by a brutal traitor's sharp blade. The Eldest Young Master's wife stood at the top of the city and watched with her own eyes. I don't know when it will be better. Ayao, you told me that the glutinous rice cakes made by the first young lady of the He family are the best, and the second young lady can make sweet rice wine... But they, even they..."

The He Lou two families are good friends. Many people are just a name to the Cheng family, but they are living memories of the Lou family. pass away. This time, Mrs. Lou was crying without pretense, hugging her daughter-in-law and covering her mouth and howling silently; Mrs. Lou cried out loud and fell into the arms of the second young lady.

Louyao seemed to be a stone statue carved from salt rock, motionless, and her eyes were dry.

"Ayao, when we were in Huaxian, we saw the tragic state of being tortured by soldiers, the mass graves with flying crows, and the orphans and widows crying without tears. Said that a man should protect the people in a comprehensive manner, and then he can look up to the world. Do you know that this time, the people of Fengyi County are not like Hua County, and General He is such a man..."

Shao Shang was talking, and he cried too: "Ayao, I also feel sorry for you, I said it nicely, but you are the one who married He Zhaojun. If I can Just marry her for you!"

"Don't say it." Lou Yao finally changed his expression and smiled with tears in his eyes, "Young Shang, you are not sorry for me. But you are right, I keep saying that I want to be a shelter student. A man of the people, but he refuses to accept even such a little grievance, isn't it ridiculous?"

"Ayao, you are only wronged for a while, but don't be wronged for a lifetime." Shao Ying wiped away his tears.

"I, can I...?" Lou Yao was stunned with tears.

"Of course you can! After getting married, you will not only be He Zhaojun's husband-in-law, but also her elder brother and her support! You have to love her and teach her, she is wrong and you cannot let her Come on, she's going to lose her temper and be pretentious, and you can't just swallow your anger like before..." Shao Shang said loudly, this was what she said from the bottom of her heart.

"I can teach her." Lou Yao seemed to be in a new state, "If she messes up again, I...I'll catch her and go to General He Ling and ask..."

Shao Shang took a few steps forward on his knees and said earnestly, "That's right! If you don't understand something, just ask Mrs. Er Shao, what's wrong with your sister-in-law!"

Mrs. Lou Er gave Shaoshang a moved look. Seeing this scene, Lou Taipu felt a pity in his heart.

Shao Shang glanced at Mrs. Lou next to him, and suddenly said: "Ayao, don't be afraid of quarrels, as long as the truth is what you are afraid of, you have to see who is full and supports I'll take care of your room again..."

Cheng Shi and Mrs. Lou didn't quite understand this sentence, but the female family members present knew it well.

This overly simple resignation ceremony ended with Lou Yao's hissing and crying. After crying, he seemed to have grown up in an instant. Lou Yao's expression was calm as he watched the golden tiger and jade jade be handed over and the silk silk with the marriage letter written on it was torn into two pieces.

When the three of the Cheng family left, he was still able to smile: "Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, I will ask a few brothers for advice in the future, so you can treat me as my own son and nephew."

Cheng Shi seldom softened and nodded.

Mrs. Xiao said softly: "You and An Chengjun will have a good time in the future. She is lonely now, looking at her teeth and dancing claws, but she is actually pitiful. You treat her with courtesy and heart. Incorrect."

Lou Yao bowed to agree, then turned his head and said, "Young businessman, you can call me brother from now on."

Shao Shang rubbed his increasingly red and swollen eyes and rolled his eyes at him: "Don't do this, it's too early to be my brother!"

Lou Yao laughed and burst into tears. Shaoshang felt sad and couldn't help shedding a few more tears.

The two families said goodbye. Although this was a complete and successful divorce, the three Cheng family members were not happy.

When she returned to Cheng Mansion, Cheng Cha had prepared her lunch. The Cheng family brothers all knew what their parents and younger sister were doing this morning, and they all took leave to stay at home at this time. Everyone gathered in the main hall to eat silently. Cheng Shi drank all the wine in one gulp and said loudly: "...From now on, it will have nothing to do with the Lou family. It's over! Did you all hear it?"

Cheng Cha and the three brothers nodded in agreement, only the first mother Cheng said angrily: "What the world is, a good marriage is forced to retire!"

Hu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Oh, old lady, don't say it, this marriage is over, the lady and the young lady are more sad than anyone else. The reasoning here is that the young masters are not Did I tell you everything?"

Mother Cheng pushed Hu Yu away and said loudly: "What is the truth, how much money can it be worth? The treasure of the Lou family is the real thing! Such a good marriage, is it worth it? I think you are a fool to be an official, the grain in the barn, the money in the cash box, the fields under your feet, only these matters..."

Mother Cheng complained loudly and chattered on the top, and the children below all ate quietly without interrupting.

Cheng Shi listened to the more and more the mother said, and couldn't help but say: "Mum, what are you talking about..."

Before the words were finished, the maid hurried to report—

Mrs. Xiao's chopsticks clacked and fell on the food table, and went to see her daughter in a panic.

Shao Shang was still puzzled and sat blankly.
