67. Daily Life of Peasants in Imperial Examinations (12)

The news that his second brother was going to take away his fiancée made Zhang Daoyuan feel like he saw the dawn of life.

For a moment, his heart didn't hurt anymore, his brain didn't feel dizzy anymore, and he didn't see double when he saw people.

Duan Qingen quickly helped Zhang Daoyuan, who looked like he had "grabbed the last straw", to calm down, "Daoyuan, calm down first."

"I'm very calm, I'm very calm."

Zhang Daoyuan stood up straight, staggering. He was so shocked before that his legs were weak on the way back, and now it was like this again. Ma Ruxiao, who didn't participate in the whispers and didn't know what happened, quickly came over and supported his other arm.

He didn't know about Liu Xinrong, and thought that Zhang Daoyuan looked like this because he didn't want his fiancée to be taken away. After all, along the way, Ma Ruxiao also listened to his friends talking about enjoying his future wife and yearning for a happy life in the future.

He kindly comforted her:

"Don't worry, this marriage was arranged by our elders, how can it be changed? Even if your family wants to change it, the woman may not agree."

Zhang Daoyuan, who had just recovered his breath, said: "..."

His breath was blocked by Ma Ruxiao's words, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, the old nanny spoke in time: "I'm afraid it won't work. It hasn't been completely settled yet, and there has been no exchange of marriage invitations. Besides, the second young master is not bad in knowledge. Although he is only a scholar now, it's only because he fell seriously ill when he took the exam for the scholar. Madam was worried that the young master would fall ill again, so she didn't take the exam for the juren this year."

As she said that, she couldn't help wiping tears again: "Brother Yuan, you are short of no one to help you speak in front of the master. The second young master still has his wife to help him speak, but Brother Yuan is left in the countryside, and even his marriage is snatched away by others."

Zhang Daoyuan, who had experienced ups and downs, felt that he was completely relieved because of this good news.

Once he recovered, he felt that he could still keep his happiness in the second half of his life. He didn't care about anything else and eagerly pulled the nurse's sleeve: "Nanny, please tell me quickly, what does the lady think? Can this marriage be given to them?"

The old nanny wiped her tears; "Brother Yuan, I'm afraid you really can't keep this marriage. The lady has already persuaded the master. I asked around and the master also agreed. He plans to go to the Liu family and ask the second son to marry her."

"Lord Liu is the master's superior. He has always been influential in the court. I heard that although this girl is a concubine, she is also very favored at home. You have been away from the master for a long time. The father-son relationship is definitely not as good as the second son. The second son married the daughter of the master's superior. Where will you have a place in this family in the future?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Zhang Daoyuan would never think about the position now.

There are only four words to describe his current state of mind: escape.

With a smile of success, he wiped the sweat on his forehead excitedly: "It was my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Since my father arranged this marriage for me, if we change people, they will have the final say."

The old nanny felt that her child was caring, sensible and pitiful.

"My poor brother Yuan..."

"Nanny, okay, don't cry."

Although Zhang Daoyuan wanted to tell the truth, he also knew that this was related to the reputation of the daughter of a third-rank official. He would keep his mouth shut if he could. If he really told it, he didn't know who would die first, him or Miss Liu.

He could only think of ways to comfort: "I didn't want this marriage, Miss Liu..."

The short man with a mustache hugged two brothel girls and smiled obscenely in his mind, and he shuddered.

"If Miss Liu is really promised to me, it will be a marriage of inferior status, and it will be difficult for the couple to get along. The woman I want to marry does not need to be of high status, as long as she has a gentle character."

That's right, after what happened with Liu Xinrong, Zhang Daoyuan only had one expectation for his future wife.

She must be gentle and the woman must be as feminine as possible.

He didn't ask for anything else, lest he be attacked by Liu Xinrong.

Before, Zhang Daoyuan looked upset, and it was difficult for Zhang Daoyuan and Ma Ruxiao to leave, so they just stood aside and watched Zhang Daoyuan try to comfort the nanny, and coax her to see what the cook bought from the kitchen had cooked.

Until the old nanny left, Zhang Daoyuan wiped the sweat off his face, looked around cautiously, and ran to close the door.

He came back and said to Duan Qingen: "Qingen, please keep the matter secret for me today."

Duan Qingen nodded: "Don't worry, I know the limits."

Ma Ruxiao didn't know what happened, and his delicate face was full of confusion, "What's the matter?"

Duan Qingen didn't say it directly, but looked at Zhang Daoyuan, the person involved.

Zhang Daoyuan thought about it seriously, and finally decided not to tell Ma Ruxiao.

It's not that he didn't trust Ma Ruxiao, it's just that Ma Ruxiao is too honest.

He won't lie, won't hide anything, and has a pure heart.

To exaggerate, every time he lied, Duan Qingen and Zhang Daoyuan could see it at a glance.

They are like this, so those other old foxes can naturally see it easily.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Daoyuan didn't mention the incident with Liu Xinrong, but wiped his face and said, "This matter today."

"After all, it's not good to spread that two brothers are asking for the same girl one after another, so I'll trouble Ruxiao to keep it a secret for me."

Ma Ruxiao nodded without any doubt, his face full of seriousness: "Of course, a gentleman doesn't criticize others, Daoyuan, rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut."

This is why Zhang Daoyuan and Duan Qingen chatted about gossip before, but didn't go to Ma Ruxiao.

He has always adhered to the etiquette of a gentleman. Whether in front of others or behind others, he is unwilling to subjectively judge others, and of course he will not gossip with Zhang Daoyuan.

The three reached a consensus that it was late at night and it was time to go to bed.

Ma Ruxiao always had a regular schedule. He yawned first. After he yawned very elegantly, he bowed to the two of them as an equal: "Qingen, Daoyuan, I am really sleepy tonight. I won't have dinner with you. I'm going to rest first."

"Go, go."

After Zhang Daoyuan and Duan Qingen agreed, he turned around and walked two steps, then remembered something, turned his head and said gently: "The weather in the capital is going to be colder. Remember to take out thicker bedding at night to avoid catching a cold again."

The two agreed as usual.

Because Ma Ruxiao was the oldest of the two and had a gentle temperament, he regarded himself as his elder brother along the way, and looked after the two friends like a mother hen.

He never crossed the line, but he would also take care of the two in his own way.

This is also his characteristic, just like what a book says, gentlemen are like spring breeze when they are friends.

After Ma Ruxiao left, the food from the kitchen was delivered after a while, and Zhang Daoyuan pulled Duan Qingen to sit down.

"Come, have a drink, calm me down."

Duan Qingen understood his mood very well: "It's time to calm down."

Zhang Daoyuan drank three glasses of wine in one breath, and then he felt that the wild horse running wildly in his heart stopped.

He exhaled: "I don't know anything else, now I'm just worried that my second brother can't win."

Duan Qingen didn't wonder why Zhang Daoyuan was so looking forward to his second brother jumping into the fire pit.

After all, when they were studying together in the county school, they drank and had fun many nights. When they were drunk, they would knock on the door of Duan Qingen's room in the middle of the night and drag them to recall their past.

Ma Ruxiao's daily routine was always normal, and he would often fall asleep on the table while listening.

Duan Qingen, on the other hand, could stay absolutely sober no matter what time period it was.

So this scene was very easy to imagine.

A drunken Zhang Daoyuan who felt more and more wronged the more he recalled the past, and who was usually very cold but had red eyes at this moment.

Ma Ruxiao who was sleeping on the table in a daze.

There was also Duan Qingen, the youngest but the calmest and most stable, who nodded and responded from time to time, and occasionally helped to condemn.

For countless nights, the most famous iron triangle of the county school spent their time like this.

Duan Qingen had a good memory, so he had a lot of things about Zhang Daoyuan's family in his mind.

For example, his mother had a difficult birth because there was no doctor. At that time, the Queen Mother passed away. During the period of national mourning, there was a curfew at night. Zhang Daoyuan's mother accidentally had a miscarriage. In the middle of the night, she had to go out with Zhang's father's seal to find a doctor.

As a result, Zhang's father was worried about the national mourning, so he sent someone to break the curfew. So he didn't find a doctor, but let Zhang Daoyuan's mother hold on.

How could a woman hold on when giving birth is a matter of life and death? The next day, the curfew was over, Zhang Daoyuan was born, and Zhang's mother also died of heavy bleeding.

Then Zhang's father remarried, and Zhang Daoyuan became a poor little thing.

The stepmother was not smart, and she was not even willing to do a favor. The old nanny he called wet nurse was not actually Zhang Daoyuan's real wet nurse, but just the nanny who followed Zhang's mother to marry.

The mistress left like this, and the backyard was temporarily taken care of by the concubines. No one really cared about Zhang Daoyuan, a weak child who could die on the spot if the wind blew. The wet nurse that Zhang's father found for him was a wet nurse who only cared about her own happiness and ignored the little master. The old nanny later reported it to Zhang Daoyuan's grandmother. From then on, she, a wet nurse without milk, became the wet nurse who took care of Zhang Daoyuan.

And Zhang Daoyuan was also taken to the courtyard of his grandparents.

But the grandmother was old, and no matter how much she cared about her grandson, she could only let the maids and servants come.

In the childhood of poor little Zhang Daoyuan, only the wet nurse could give him the feeling of a mother.

Later, he and his stepmother could not get along more and more, and his grandfather took pity on him and said that he would take him away. He was not his father at all.

His father was busy scheming in the court every day and having fun among the concubines. How could he care about an eldest son who was not close to him.

Every time he talked about this, Zhang Daoyuan's eyes turned red, and his drunken face was full of stubbornness. He said that if he could really pass the imperial examination and become an official in the future, he would never give his father any benefits.

Duan Qingen also said that he supported him.

Although both of them knew that this was impossible.

In this era where filial piety is the most important thing, Zhang Daoyuan's idea is absolutely disrespectful. If he really dared to say this in public, he would be deprived of his fame and even imprisoned.

He could only talk to Duan Qingen to vent his anger.

Anyway, Duan Qingen knew that Zhang Daoyuan had been complaining about his family for so long. He had no feelings for his father and stepmother, as well as his half-brother who had tricked him when he was a child and caused him to be punished by his father many times.

It was good enough that he didn't want to pit them. How could he worry about them walking into the pit himself?

"He has loved snatching my things since he was little, such as the wolf-hair brush my grandfather gave me, the fox fur coat my grandmother gave me, and anything I liked, he would snatch from me. If I didn't give it to him, he would cry to my father and make a scene with my wife. In the end, I, as his elder brother, had to give in to him and give him everything I liked."

Even though he is no longer a child, Zhang Daoyuan still feels wronged when talking about these past events.

Before his eyes turned red, Duan Qingen added: "Yes, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have thought of snatching Miss Liu."

With just this sentence, Zhang Daoyuan, who was aggrieved just now, immediately became happy again.

He happily poured himself a glass of wine, and his tone of voice seemed to be flying with joy.

"This is really God's blessing. I said I wouldn't be so unlucky forever. Now let him go and snatch it. When he snatches it, I'll wait to see the joke!"

Duan Qingen: "Don't think about seeing the joke first. Let me ask you, do you really think your second brother can snatch it from you?"

He stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one: "In terms of appearance, you are handsome. In terms of talent, you passed the imperial examination smoothly. In terms of age, you are the same age as Miss Liu. In terms of character, your character was praised by the adults when we went to the prefecture school. What's more, you followed your grandfather back to the hometown at the beginning, and you said to the outside world that you were filial to your father. Your second brother is just a legitimate second son, and you are the legitimate eldest son."

"Daoyuan, tell me, with such a talent, appearance and character far superior to others, will the Liu family really be willing to change you?"

The smile on Zhang Daoyuan's face gradually fell.

His eyes slowly, slowly turned red again.

With a plop, his head hit the table.

Zhang Daoyuan wailed in sadness and despair:

"Why am I so good, why!"

"Why?!"

"Daoyuan, Daoyuan, don't be sad."

Duan Qingen patted his back, "It's not your fault that you are good-looking and talented."

"If you want to make this matter safer, I have a way."

Zhang Daoyuan, who was wailing, felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He sat up suddenly and looked at Duan Qingen expectantly.

"Qing'en, you must help me. If you help me and marry a woman like that, I might as well tell the public about this and die with her!"

"Otherwise, I will go to a brothel to keep a woman and take her as a concubine before we get married. By then, the whole capital will know about it, and the Liu family will definitely not let me be their son-in-law anymore!"

"Calm down, calm down first."

Duan Qing'en hooked his hand and asked Zhang Daoyuan to come closer to listen. He lowered his voice: "It's too bad for you to ruin your reputation. By then, won't the daughters of good families in the capital be unwilling to marry you?"

"I would rather not marry for the rest of my life than that woman."

"It's okay not to marry for the rest of your life. The imperial examination also depends on your character. Are you going to end up with one scholar for the rest of your life?"

Zhang Daoyuan stopped talking.

He banged again and started to use his head to install the table.

"Why should I be so outstanding..."

"You are like this, listen to me, I just looked at Miss Liu carefully, although she behaved intimately with the man next to her, but from her eyes, she regarded that man as a brother, that is, do you understand? It's like the brotherhood between you and me."

Zhang Daoyuan, who had drunk a lot of wine, touched his red forehead and raised his face with drunken eyes and sad face.

"Qingen, you don't want me to accept her, do you?"

He touched his flat chest: "I don't have a bulge here."

He pointed at Duan Qingen in the air: "You don't have a bulge here either."

After pointing, Zhang Daoyuan's face fell: "How can it be the same, it's impossible."

"Wake up."

Duan Qingen speechlessly poured Zhang Daoyuan a glass of boiled water: "I have read some drama scripts before, doesn't it say that some women will dress up as men to do chivalrous deeds, and then pretend to be men to become brothers with other men. I guess this Miss Liu is That's the situation. "

Zhang Daoyuan drank the boiled water in one gulp: "Does the script say that a woman dressed as a man will go to a brothel to flirt with other women?"

"Maybe Miss Liu is special."

Duan Qingen pulled Zhang Daoyuan to sit up straight: "I have a way. If it works, maybe this marriage can be cancelled without damaging your reputation or breaking up with the Liu family."

"Add to that your second brother's efforts. If nothing unexpected happens, your second brother should be able to get this marriage smoothly in the end."

Zhang Daoyuan's eyes lit up.

"What method! !"

Duan Qingen: "Play the sympathy card."

****

The capital is very large, with roads extending in all directions, pedestrians rushing on the streets, and various small vendors.

Duan Qingen and Zhang Daoyuan sat in the tavern, waiting for the opportunity.

Zhang Daoyuan always felt uncomfortable, and looked down from time to time, then turned to look at Duan Qingen; "Qingen, is this okay? That woman seems to be indifferent to meat and vegetables, and I am so good-looking, what if she falls in love with me?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely right to listen to me, I even specially inquired about it later."

Duan Qingen guaranteed: "This Miss Liu may have read too many scripts, but this is not the first time she ran away. The man next to her is a great general of the dynasty, and he has made military achievements before. Do you know why Miss Liu's marriage has always been unsuccessful?"

Zhang Daoyuan had a bitter face: "How else can it be unsuccessful? How can it be smooth when she is like that and goes to a brothel?"

"No one knew when she went to the brothel. This great general accepted many men on the battlefield, and many of them were sent to Miss Liu to help her hide from the people in the mansion. So far, no one knows that this concubine of the Liu family takes time to wear men's clothes to visit the brothel every day."

Zhang Daoyuan thought about it, if any family found out that he had such a daughter, how could he marry a subordinate? Marrying her from afar would be to give her some leniency.

After all, this is not only her matter, but also concerns the lives of girls in the entire clan. If this matter is exposed, all the girls in the Liu family will be affected.

Those who are married may be divorced, while those who are not married will never be wanted. They will either become old maids, hang themselves, or go up the mountain to become aunts.

There will definitely be no good ending anyway.

Zhang Daoyuan had never thought about exposing this matter before and considered these things. Not to mention how much suffering the girls would suffer if these things were exposed. If he really said it, the Liu family would definitely not let him go. .

The more he thought about it, the more unlucky he felt. Zhang Daoyuan sighed feebly, "I don't blame the Liu family. Who would have thought that a woman would deviate to such an extent."

"There's something even more outrageous."

Duan Qingen continued: "Although Miss Liu is a concubine, she has become more and more favored in the Liu family in recent years because of her cheerful speaking. Mr. Liu also conscientiously helped her choose a husband. Not counting you, Miss Liu's husband It was decided twice in total.”

"Once, he was the second son of an official family. He was handsome and well-known. He was very favored at home."

Zhang Daoyuan asked curiously, "Then why didn't this marriage happen?"

"It's not that general. He thought he was Miss Liu's good friend and wanted to help her. So he bought a young woman from a brothel, pretended to sell her body to bury her father, and knelt on the street begging for money to bury her father. That gentleman's heart If you are good, you will be given money.”

Zhang Daoyuan: "Then Miss Liu felt that he was kind-hearted and agreed to the marriage?"

"No."

Duan Qingen shook his head; "Miss Liu felt that the husband was too stupid to even see such a simple scam. She didn't want to get married, and because she had made an agreement with the husband's family, she asked the general to help."

"The general found someone to get the husband drunk, and then threw his father's concubine into his room. The incident spread throughout the capital the next day. The husband's reputation was ruined and he was sent to prison. It seems that he will never come back to the countryside, and the marriage with the Liu family will naturally be cancelled. "

Zhang Daoyuan: "..."

Duan Qingen didn't look at the "Oh my God, who are these people" expression on his face, and continued: "The second one is a candidate like us. He passed the national examination at a young age, went to Beijing to take the exam, and was favored by Lord Liu. , so after asking about the concubine's room at home, he decided to give Miss Liu to him. "

"It was the general who arranged for robbers to rob. Among the five robbers, this one was the only one. He was still in the wilderness. Naturally, he did not dare to resist and gave away all the money he had. As a result, this The general felt that this man was timid and not like a man. He deliberately let him get sick and lingered on the bed for three to five months. He missed the scientific examination and spent all his money. He felt that He died soon, and after writing a letter to cancel the engagement, he escaped with his life. "

Zhang Daoyuan: "..."

He felt that his entire outlook on the world was destroyed.

"There's something wrong with these two people, right?!"

"General, does he like Miss Liu? How can he find fault with others like this? Isn't this just looking for bones in an egg to make trouble? It's a matter of no shadow. He just finds the fault, and when he finds the fault, he doesn't do it. Who are these people who propose to break off an engagement and deliberately mistreat others, causing them to have to take the initiative to break off the engagement? "

Duan Qingen deeply agrees with Zhang Daoyuan's words.

He nodded, stretched out his index finger, and circled around his head: "I think there is something wrong with their brains."

"I think so too. There must be something wrong. Is this something that anyone in their right mind can do?!"

Zhang Daoyuan felt a chill when he thought that if he hadn't been the first to discover something was wrong with Miss Liu, he might have been picked on and tricked in a confused way.

He suddenly thought of something: "Does this general like Miss Liu?"

Otherwise, no matter how high your vision is, you can't choose people like this.

Is this choosing a husband, or is he choosing a perfect saint who is both civil and military?

"I think so too."

Duan Qingen nodded in agreement: "They all went to the Qinglou together, but they didn't get married and insisted on harming others. This is not a disease."

"But in order to avoid harm to you, we still have to resolve this matter peacefully."

"That's right, I'm just sick."

This was the first time in Zhang Daoyuan's life that he had seen such a person. After hearing this, he felt that his three views had been washed from top to bottom.

This is too weird.

vomit!

"Hey, it's coming."

Duan Qingen lowered his eyes and happened to see the "man" with a mustache walking swaggering underneath. He quickly pulled Zhang Daoyuan up with a face full of reluctance, "Quick, quick, let's go down together."

Zhang Daoyuan: "Are you going too?"

"Of course I'm going. What if your marriage doesn't work out and Lord Liu wants me to be his son-in-law? It's better to be safe."

The two of them went downstairs and met Liu Xinrong face to face.

Duan Qingen and Zhang Daoyuan deliberately touched her when they passed by her.

"Hey!"

Liu Xinrong screamed in surprise. After he realized that he had been hit, his face was filled with anger and he raised his head to curse.

When he looked up, he saw a handsome and gentle face. Seeing Liu Xinrong looking at him, he smiled slowly:

"I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Liu Xinrong was almost stunned by the beautiful face in front of her. She shook her head in a trance, "I'm fine."

"I'm glad you're fine."

Duan Qingen smiled, his face full of sincerity: "Sir, may I ask how to get to Yincui Tower in the capital?"

Zhang Daoyuan, who was standing by, felt a sore tooth when he saw his smile.

He and Ma Ruxiao both knew that every time Duan Qingen smiled like this, he was going to cheat someone.

But after feeling a little bit better, he felt at ease. After all, Duan Qingen had never failed to cheat someone.

"Yincui Tower...Yincui Tower?"

As soon as Liu Xinrong realized the three words Yincui Tower, she immediately came out of her trance and woke up.

The things in Yincui Tower were all jewelry. The person in front of her was a grown man. Of course, he would not go to Yincui Tower to buy jewelry for himself. It must be a woman.

Although thinking so, Liu Xinrong still held a glimmer of hope in her heart, and asked with a little expectation in her eyes: "What are you going to Yincui Tower for, sir?"

"We are scholars who went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. I heard that the jewelry in Yincui Tower in Beijing is good, so I want to buy some jewelry and bring it to the women at home after the exam."

Women...

Liu Xinrong was still unwilling, and then asked: "Is it the sir's wife?"

Duan Qingen imitated Ma Ruxiao and smiled shyly: "It can be said that, we will get married when we go back."

Liu Xinrong felt disappointed in her heart.

Such a good-looking man actually has a fiancée.

But when she glanced at Zhang Daoyuan on the side, she became energetic again.

Although Zhang Daoyuan didn't look as attractive as Duan Qingen, he was definitely a steady handsome man.

She has always liked beauty, whether it is a man or a woman, as long as she is good-looking, she likes it. It's rare to meet two handsome men, and Liu Xinrong has nothing else in her mind.

The man with the mustache was particularly enthusiastic: "It's hard to get to the Diancui Tower, I'll take the two young masters there."

"In that case, thank you very much."

Duan Qingen smiled with a "Ma Ruxiao-style shyness" and pulled Zhang Daoyuan to follow Liu Xinrong.

When exchanging names, Liu Xinrong said: "My surname is Liu, and I'm the fifth child in my family. People I know call me Wulang, and the young masters call me that too."

Zhang Daoyuan: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Daoyuan. Although I'm from the capital, I left the capital when I was young and came back for the imperial examination. Therefore, I'm not familiar with the various places in the capital, which makes Wulang laugh."

"Nothing, nothing..."

Liu Xinrong was smiling in a chic manner, and suddenly stopped.

Zhang Daoyuan, why does this name sound so familiar.

That's right!

He's the husband that Daddy wants to choose for her. He's the eldest son of Mr. Zhang, but it hasn't really been decided yet. It's just that the two families have verbally agreed.

Liu Xinrong vaguely remembered that the Zhang family came to her house yesterday. After her aunt inquired about it, she told her that the Zhang family wanted to use the second son to marry, saying that her father was still considering it.

Liu Xinrong didn't say much at that time. Her father loved her more and more because she was well-behaved and sensible to her father, and acted like a good daughter in everything.

A good daughter naturally couldn't interfere in marriage. Anyway, her father loved her and the person he arranged for her was the one he thought was good. If it wasn't good, it didn't matter. There were still her friends. If it wasn't good, her friends would naturally help her clear it.

But now, Liu Xinrong looked at Zhang Daoyuan's good face and didn't think about not interfering in the marriage and being a good daughter on the surface.

Such a good-looking person is just right for her.

Liu Xinrong was thinking about going back and telling her father that she valued the eldest son of a juren more, when she suddenly heard Zhang Daoyuan say, "I'll trouble Wulang to help me choose. I want to give it to a girl I like, so it's better to be delicate."

"A girl I like?"

Liu Xinrong was stunned, "Do you have someone you like?"

"Yes."

Zhang Daoyuan nodded, and then it was Duan Qingen's turn.

Duan Qingen looked sad and said to Liu Xinrong, "Daoyuan has liked this girl for a long time, but unfortunately, my parents don't agree."

Then, on the way to Yincui Tower, Duan Qingen told Liu Xinrong a touching love story of "Zhang Daoyuan went to the temple on the mountain to burn incense and accidentally fell into the mountain, and was saved by a flower girl" with great emotion.

"During the flash flood, even though he had been holding the girl's hand tightly, they were still separated. When he was rescued, he went to find the girl desperately. He didn't expect that the girl's eyes that were blinded in order to save him were healed, but she lost her memory. Daoyuan did not give up. He stood in front of her house and helped her recall the things she had forgotten. "

"Later, Daoyuan went up the mountain to pick the flowers that the girl wanted for a word and encountered a wild beast. He almost died. The girl told the truth. It turned out that she did not lose her memory, but was rescued by a doctor after the flash flood. The doctor told her that she would not live long and could not have children. In order not to implicate Daoyuan, she told this big lie."

Duan Qingen finished the story in front of the person without changing his expression.

"After Daoyuan came back, he found out that his family was planning to arrange a marriage for him. He refused to obey and threatened to kill himself, swearing that he must marry this girl in this life, otherwise he would rather die. Well, the girl was too sick to get up, and Daoyuan wanted to buy her a hairpin to make her happier in her last days."

As he spoke, Duan Qingen took advantage of Liu Xinrong's inattention and quietly reached behind Zhang Daoyuan and twisted his flesh.

"Ugh!"

Zhang Daoyuan's eyes immediately turned red with pain.

With red eyes, he resisted the urge to vomit and said as sadly as possible; "I have made up my mind. Even if she is gone, I will never marry again in this life."

Liu Xinrong was moved to tears.

She had always longed for such a relationship. Every time she read the script, she would imagine her future husband. Unfortunately, the men her father found for her were all flawed.

It was rare to see a good man like Zhang Daoyuan now, and she was moved and regretful.

It was a pity that such a good man didn't like her.

But because the girl Zhang Daoyuan liked in Duan Qingen's mouth was blind, amnesiac, seriously ill and dying, Liu Xinrong had no intention of replacing her at all, but was full of sympathy.

"This girl is so pitiful."

Zhang Daoyuan nodded, still sad: "I just hope my father won't force me to marry someone else. If he really forces me, I'm afraid I can only commit suicide after she leaves."

Duan Qingen sighed and told Liu Xinrong: "He had thought about committing suicide before, and he can really do this."

"Wu Lang, don't tell others, this involves the girl's reputation."

If you don't mind being a widow after marrying, then come.

When she heard about committing suicide, the idea in Liu Xinrong's heart completely disappeared.

At this moment, her heart was full of sympathy and heroism for Zhang Daoyuan.

Like a chivalrous woman, she patted her chest: "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone, and your father will definitely not force you again."

When she returns, she will tell her father that she chooses the second son.

Hearing Liu Xinrong's words, Zhang Daoyuan almost laughed out loud with joy.

Fortunately, he restrained himself, lowered his head, choked up, and said happily: "Thank you Wu Lang for your comfort."

Zhang Daoyuan's matter is fine.

Duan Qingen has not given up making trouble.

He began to sigh: "Since I knew about Daoyuan's matter, I have loved my wife who is about to marry me even more."

"In this world, it is so rare to have someone who can accompany you as long as you say it, who has the same hobbies as you, and who is willing to eliminate difficulties and dangers for you."

After sighing, Duan Qingen went to see Liu Xinrong: "Wu Lang, do you have such a person around you?"

"Of course I don't."

Liu Xinrong answered subconsciously, and suddenly paused.

That's not right.

Isn't it her friend who can accompany her as long as she says it? The same hobbies, she and her friend do have the same hobbies of visiting brothels, and eliminating difficulties and dangers, her friend has been helping her eliminate those fiancés with bad behavior.

Could it be...

She opened her eyes wide in shock.

Duan Qingen and Zhang Daoyuan on the side exchanged glances.

Let these two mentally ill people harm each other.

Peace in the world.
