Quick travel to save a miserable life

In the Dong family, Dong Yuee happened to meet her eldest brother in the hall when she returned home. She frowned slightly as she looked at her sister and the others.

Dong Chengyu, the eldest brother of the Dong family, watched his sister come back from outside dressed up beautifully. The servant behind him was holding many things in his hands, presumably the trophies of his sister's shopping trip.

"Yue'e, my father and I have been seeing each other for you recently. Scholars pay attention to reputation, so you should stop going out so frequently, lest it harm your reputation!" Dong Chengyu said seriously.

"Brother, I have been married once. If I remarry, I have to choose who I want to marry. If someone from such a pedantic family makes irresponsible remarks when I go out, no matter how good I am Don’t marry!” Dong Yue’e pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Alas!" Dong Chengyu sighed helplessly, knowing that it was all in vain.

My sister was spoiled by her father. She has always been willful and wanton. Even her father could not do anything to her, so how could she listen to him?

"By the way, brother, I met an interesting person today and I want to marry him!" Dong Yuee looked up and said to her brother with a smile.

"Nonsense, how can you casually meet someone and decide whether to marry or not? In your eyes, do you still have the restraint and integrity that a woman should have?" Dong Chengyu was shocked when he heard this and shouted sharply.

Dong Yue'e immediately darkened her face after hearing this, her eyebrows stood up, and her voice became sharp: "Don't come here, I'll tell dad when he comes back, you have nothing to do with my affairs!"

After saying that, without waiting for her eldest brother to say anything, she just "hummed", turned around and took Yahuan back to her yard.

Brother Dong, who was left behind, shook his head helplessly and sighed heavily: "Alas!"

There was nothing he could do about this younger sister. Her mother died young and her younger sister had little upbringing. It was inevitable that both he and his father were a little partial to the then-young younger sister, which developed her arrogant and arrogant character.

I thought that after being married and being his daughter-in-law for a few years, she would understand some things and restrain her temper. Unexpectedly, she and Li Hou relied on their status as women to become even more unrestrained than when they were in the boudoir.

Sometimes Dong Chengyu couldn't stand it, and before he could say a few words, she blocked herself speechless with her sharp tongue. She also used to go to her father to complain, saying that she couldn't tolerate her sister who had returned home. I don't dare to care about her anymore.

I hope she can quickly find a good family to marry her off to. I don’t know who can tolerate her young lady temperament!

The day before, Dong Chengyu had been looking forward to marrying off his sister as soon as possible, and the next day someone came to visit him with a post.

He looked at the signature on the post: Wang Xiuyuan. He vaguely remembered that he was a scholar who had just passed the exam in the county a while ago. He was also on the list of guests for the family banquet a few days ago.

However, apart from meeting each other at the banquet, he seemed to have little contact with this Wang Xiucai, and I don't know what his purpose was in visiting him.

Despite his doubts, Dong Chengyu replied to the post as usual and explained the time when he could come to the door.

No matter how rich the Dong family is, they are just merchants. They still have to respect these scholars. Even if they are just scholars, they must be careful when dealing with them and not easily offend others. Who knows whether the current young scholar will be able to serve as an official in the future. Zai, where is the ruling party?

Alas, it's all my fault that I have no talent for studying. After studying for many years, I couldn't even pass the imperial examination. I had no choice but to come back and take over the family business. Now I can only hope that my son can succeed in the imperial examination!

The reason why my father found a husband for his sister among the scholars was because he hoped to find another beneficial in-law, which would help the Dong family change their family background and break away from the ranks of merchants.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiuyuan went out, and soon returned home, saying he was studying, but Lin Hui looked uneasy when she saw his state.

It was not until mid-morning that a young man who claimed to be a servant of the Dong family knocked on the door of the Wang family and presented a reply from the eldest young master of the Dong family, saying that the young master knew would be waiting at home tomorrow morning and invited Wang Xiucai to come. Humble house and so on.

Only then did Lin Hui understand that Wang Xiuyuan had gone to Dong's house to pay his respects in the morning.

The Wang family couldn't afford to support people like the book boy and the boy, so Wang Xiuyuan had to do everything himself.

The boy sent by the Dong family said this to Wang Xiuyuan at the door. The boy spoke clearly and fluently. There were only a few rooms in the house and the yard was not big, so even if Lin Hui was holding her in the main room, Yao Niang took the soles of her shoes and heard these words clearly.

It turns out that it’s the Dong family! Lin Hui sighed in her heart.

There are not many people named Dong in the county. The most famous one is the Dong family of Dongjia Embroidery Village, which Lin Huiniang has been dealing with.

I heard that Miss Dong's wife and Li stayed at home this year and did not remarry. Could this be Wang Xiuyuan's chosen target?

Lin Hui looked with burning eyes at Wang Xiuyuan who was holding the post in his hand and looking happy.

Even if Wang Xiuyuan had a city and could hide his plans, he would still be at a disadvantage when facing Lin Hui.

After all, if everything goes well, he will soon become the Dong family's son-in-law, and the woman in front of him will become the concubine.

He has already inquired about the fact that the Dong family has a great business, but their descendants are not good at studying. The eldest young master of the Dong family studied in the most prestigious private school in Fucheng for many years, and even failed to pass the exam. He returned home to marry a wife and inherit the family business. .

Young Master Sun of the Dong family is only eight years old now, not as old as Zi Ming. It will take at least ten or eight years before he can truly embark on the road to the imperial examination.

In other words, no one from the Dong family will go to school in a short period of time, so once he becomes the son-in-law of the Dong family, wouldn’t all the resources in the Dong family’s hands regarding studying and imperial examinations be available to him? Thinking of this, he stopped Unstoppable joy.

He believed that he was not short of talent and learning, but what he was short of was money and opportunities, but the Dong family had both. Moreover, the young lady of the Dong family also looked at him differently, and it seemed that he would have the opportunity to enter the family and gain the approval of the head of the Dong family. Aren't you just too happy?

However, looking at his wife's somewhat suspicious expression, Wang Xiuyuan stopped the smile on his face, coughed slightly and said: "It's the Dong family in the county. I heard that their family has a rare ancient book. I want to talk to the young master of the Dong family." I wanted to borrow it, so I sent the message to visit. I didn’t expect it to be answered so quickly. I think I’ll be able to see the book soon. I’m so happy for my husband!”

After the words came out of his mouth, Wang Xiuyuan felt that he had said too much and was a little deliberate. Instead, he seemed to be deliberately making excuses.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Hui's face, fearing that she might be suspicious.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hui looked convinced, and nodded with a smile, as if he was honored: "My husband, if you work hard like this, you will definitely be able to go to high school, pass the exam, and be a Jinshi in the future!"

Wang Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. His wife was just an ordinary woman who always regarded her husband as her first priority. Because she was studying, she always considered studying as sacred and glorious and never thought too much about it. .

Thinking of this, Wang Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but it was only for a moment.

After a while, Wang Xiuyuan's heart was occupied by the desire to climb up again. His mind was filled with fame and wealth, and there was no room for anything else.
