Marriage is not easy [Transmigration Book]

A basin of cold water was directly poured over, Xiao Jin woke up from a coma, and the wound soaked in water was burning hot.He slowly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes fixedly stared at the person in front of him.

Li Yuan put his hands behind his back, and when he saw that he was awake, he raised his hand to ask the jailer to stop splashing water.He walked half a circle around Xiao Jin, and said with a smile: "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be able to endure it."

Xiao Jin lowered his head and did not answer.

"Why didn't I see that you were a tough guy before." Li Yuan spat at him.

Wang Dada, who was behind Li Yuan, walked up to him holding the whip, and asked respectfully, "My lord, do we brothers continue to torture him?"

Li Yuan looked at Xiao Jin's embarrassed appearance and suddenly smiled, and said, "No, he won't survive tonight." He stepped out of the cell, looked back, "Some people want you to die, you have to die .”

After saying that, Li Yuan stopped looking at Xiao Jin, and walked away quickly with his hands behind his back, leaving behind two big men who were looking at each other.

"Brother, what does your lord say..." Wang Xiaoer asked in puzzlement.

Wang Da gave him a slap on the head, and said solemnly: "There are some things you should listen to, and some things you have to forget after hearing them. We just need to be optimistic about him."

"Isn't he just a beggar..." Wang Xiaoer murmured, turned and walked away.Wang Da just heard it and sighed silently.He glanced at the bruised person hanging on the wall from the corner of his eye, and thought that this person surnamed Xiao might really be no ordinary beggar...

Wen's other courtyard.

Mei Xiang hurriedly came from the front, nodded towards Mei Lan who was standing by the door, pushed open the door and walked in.She looked around, walked lightly to the big rosewood bed decorated with embossed tigers, hooks and other patterns on all sides of the bed, carefully lifted a piece of light blue bed gauze, and softly awakened the sleeping in the bed. people.

"Master, Master." Mei Xiang called twice, and Wen Yelan gradually opened his eyes.

Wen Yelan sat up slowly, and the silk quilt covering her body fell down to her waist and abdomen.He propped himself up and leaned against the bedpost in a half-lying position. The neckline of his obscene clothes revealed a large piece of fragrant shoulders with his movements, and his fair skin was exposed to the air.He blinked his eyes, the haze dissipated just after waking up, leaving only a sense of clarity.Mei Xiang looked a little hot from the side.

Wen Yelan raised her eyebrows lightly, and Mei Xiang stepped forward and bowed her head and said, "Master, madam has gone to Zhangfu."

"Oh, when did you go?" Wen Yelan raised his eyebrows.

Mei Xiang replied, "It's Mao time."

A trace of coldness flashed across Wen Yelan's dark eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "I'll wash my face first before preparing water."

Mei Xiang responded, walked to the door and gave some instructions to the outside.After a while, several maids came in with basins and other things.

Mei Xiang waited on Wen Yelan to rinse his mouth and wash his face, and Mei Lan took the maid to bring breakfast and put it on the table.Wen Yelan sat on the chair, Mei Xiang served him vegetables, and Mei Lan walked back to the door to guard.

"Last night's book was good. After dinner, Mei Xiang, you can take a few copies to your wife." After Wen Yelan finished speaking, he stirred a spoonful of boiled tofu into his mouth.

"Your maidservant knows." Mei Xiang walked to the other side of the table with a bowl, put some fresh cabbage rolls in front of Wen Yelan, and then said, "Young master, a new batch of script books has entered the Shuxiang Pavilion today, and I want to read them." see?"

Wen Yelan took out the handkerchief next to him and wiped his lips lightly, saying, "Well, it's been a while since I visited Shuxiang Pavilion." He nodded, turned his head and blinked at Mei Xiang, and said, "But before that, my What about dessert?"

Mei Xiang covered her mouth and smiled, amused by Wen Yelan's seldom-seen cuteness, and said with a smile: "Your maidservant, go serve it up."

Mei Xiang walked out of the room, took the dessert from the maid who came, and turned back to the room.Wen Yelan's eyes sparkled slightly when they touched the plate in her hand.

"Master, today's dessert is glutinous rice with sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root." Mei Xiang put down the plate with a smile.

Wen Yelan nodded, and without waiting for her to wait, she took a piece and put it in her mouth.The lotus root is very pink, because the white rice in the middle neutralizes the taste, it tastes sweet but not greasy, very refreshing.Mei Xiang looked at him with a smile, and felt that the young master looked like a boy only when he was eating dessert.

Let's talk about Mrs. Wen's side.The eldest lady went to Zhang's mansion with her maid and servant at Maoshi.The concierge of the Zhang Mansion led people into the hall, and after waiting for half an hour, Zhang Lianzhi finally arrived.

The eldest lady, Pang Zi, was so angry that she dared not speak out. Who told her to ask for something?

Zhang Lianzhi knew what the eldest lady said, she came here, she looked at the stiff smiling face of the eldest lady of the Wen family and sneered in her heart.How can anyone beg others to marry their sons?Mrs. Wen must have lost her mind.She is not stupid, although Wen's family was somewhat defeated in the capital, Mrs. Wen's husband is still holding an official position in the court, and the Zhang family can't offend people at will. It is better to have many friends than many enemies.Zhang Lianzhi understood some of these principles, raised her eyes and glanced at Pang, looked at her slightly revealing expression and shook her head, this woman is not a good ally.

Zhang Lianzhi thought that if Zhang Ding was willing, it wouldn't matter if he took in the eldest son of the Wen family, and he should support more people.That Wen Yelan was born beautiful, and Nai couldn't help being a leader. Zhang Ding didn't like it or didn't want to, and as a mother, it was impossible for him to force him.There is nothing to say about this matter, so I can only transfer it with other words.

"Mrs. Wen, I understand your thoughts. Lianzhi also hopes to be in-laws with you. However, my son has no choice but to be a womanizer, and the mother has persuaded him. He refuses to agree, and I can't beat him and scold him, can I?" Zhang Lianzhi looked at Wen Pangshi apologetically with a sad face.

The coldness in Mrs. Wen's eyes flashed, but it didn't show on her face. She sighed and said, "What Mrs. Zhang said is true, but I think this matter can be discussed again. Or, let's find a time to discuss it first." How about letting Young Master Zhang meet our bad boy before making a conclusion?"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, my youngest son has met First Young Master Wen before. He is used to self-willedness and only likes pleasing people. Although Young Young Master Wen is good-looking..."

Doesn't Zhang Lianzhi mean that Wen Yelan is not pleasing?Wen Pangshi was smiling, but the hand holding the handkerchief was tightly squeezed, as if he wanted to tear the handkerchief.

"Actually, although our Zhang family can't get married with your Wen family, Lian Zhi has another candidate who can talk to Mrs. Wen." Mrs. Zhang's voice faded at the end, although there was a smile in her eyes, pay attention Looking inside, there is a bit of malice.

Wen Pangshi was eager to get Wen Yelan out of the mansion, but now he was delighted to hear what Zhang Lianzhi said, and without thinking too much, he blurted out and asked, "Who is the other party?"

Zhang Lianzhi smiled, walked into Wen Pangshi, and whispered something in her ear.

"This man..." Wen Pangshi raised his head in surprise after hearing this, with hesitation on his face.

Zhang Lianzhi straightened up, and said seriously: "This person's status is a bit low, but think about it, isn't this the most suitable one?" She raised her eyebrows at Wen Pangshi meaningfully.

Wen Pangshi pondered for a while, thinking about the person Zhang Lianzhi mentioned, and then thinking about Wen Yelan's mother and son, his heart was gradually filled with ruthlessness.People don't want to kill heaven and earth for themselves, thinking that Wen Yelan will soon be deprived of his position as the son-in-law, Wen Pangshi gritted his teeth and decided to follow Zhang Lianzhi's suggestion.

Zhang Lianzhi noticed that the hesitation on her face was replaced by determination, and she smiled and said: "Mrs. Wen, everyone is a smart person. There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly. This is the way to do this. You want Young Master Wen to When you marry, you have the final say on who you marry? If you gain something, you will lose it. Can Young Master Wen still say no to the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker?"

Wen Pangshi nodded after thinking about it. If there is a gain, there will be a loss. If she wants Wen Yelan to marry someone, she will cause troubles. Even if this is the case, why bother about who he will marry?So what if the person who arranges has a low status?Some things can still turn public opinion back to one's own side as long as one has the heart.

When Wen Pangshi came out of Zhangfu, he sent someone to investigate the person Zhang Lianzhi mentioned.

Not long after Wang Da and Wang Xiaoer finished their lunch, Li Yuan came in with a few yamen servants, and they escorted Xiao Jin out of the prison without saying a word.

Wang Xiaoer and Wang Dada were a little surprised, Wang Xiaoer couldn't hide his question, he asked cautiously: "My lord, where are you going?"

Li Yuan might be in a good mood, and he didn't blame Wang Xiaoer for his rudeness. He looked at Xiao Jin who was being escorted ahead and said, "The prefect will start a trial."

Xiao Jin lowered his head, both arms were tightly held by the yamen servants, unable to move a bit.Hearing Li Yuan's words, his heart sank.Given his current physical condition, it might be difficult to find the chance to leave.

Xiao Jin was escorted to the inner hall of the yamen. From the inner hall, one could see many onlookers standing outside the yamen, they were chatting and bustling with each other.

Fu Yin came out from the inner hall, glanced at the noisy crowd outside the door, and waved to Li Yuan, the head of the government office, who was standing beside him.Li Yuan took two steps with a sullen face, and shouted to the crowd: "Quiet—"

After everyone quieted down, Fu Yin sat down, and the master standing beside him said, "Bring the prisoner Xiao Qi'er up!"

Xiao Jin didn't want to go up and tried to break free, but the yamen guard who was pulling his arm was very strong, so he could only be dragged and dragged to the court.Two yamen servants pushed him to the ground and shackled him with long sticks so that he could not move.

After being tortured for two days, Xiao Jin was exhausted all over.The ribcage rubbed against the floor, and the scabbed scar on his chest opened again.Xiao Jin gritted his teeth, and could only stare fiercely at Fu Yin in the distance.

Wen Yelan finished talking with the steward of Shuxiang Pavilion, and walked out with a few scripts.

All the people on the street ran towards the south gate. Mei Xiang took the notebook in his hand and said softly, "Master, the murder case of the youngest daughter of the pawn shop has started."

The corners of Wen Yelan's mouth curled up slightly, Xiang Bei turned a corner, and said to Mei Xiang and Mei Lan, "Let's go and see...Xiao Qier."

Mei Xiang and Mei Lan looked at each other, then followed Wen Yelan's pace.When they came to the yamen, they squeezed into the crowd, just in time to see Fu Yin sternly questioning Xiao Jin whether he pleaded guilty or not.

Xiao Jin lay on the ground, looked up at Fu Yin and said slowly: "I am not guilty!"

Fu Yin waved his hands angrily and said, "Give me torture!"

Two yamen servants walked out on each side, walked behind Xiao Jin, raised their long sticks and hit Xiao Jin's buttocks one after another.Xiao Jin bit his lip and only let out a small groan. His lip had been bitten, and the pants on his back and buttocks gradually overflowed with blood.

Mei Xiang couldn't bear it, she looked at Wen Yelan worriedly: "Master..."

Wen Yelan kept staring at Xiao Jin, his eyes gradually darkened.

The master standing in a corner suddenly approached Fu Yin, leaned into his ear and said something, Fu Yin frowned, waved his hand to stop the yamen servant, glanced at the stubborn Xiao Jin, and said: "Temporary adjournment. Interrogation!" After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left in displeasure.

Xiao Jin was dragged up by the yamen servants, before he took two steps, his body slowed down, and the yamen servants couldn't hold him steady, so Xiao Jin fell towards the crowd in the yamen.

Xiao Jin spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped the corner of his mouth and raised his eyes, which were as dark as a cold pool, and Wen Yelan was shocked by the sternness in his eyes.Wen Yelan frowned, and when he looked closely, Xiao Jin's head had drooped, and his long hair covered his face.

"Hurry up and drag me away!" Li Yuan came over and shouted.The two yamen servants hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jin's arms and pulled him up and walked towards the inner hall.

"Master?" Mei Xiang called Wen Yelan after seeing the people dispersed, but Wen Yelan did not respond.

Wen Yelan stood where she was, staring at the direction Xiao Jin was taken away for a long time, and turned her head to look at Mei Xiang Mei Lan.

"Let's go."
