Early spring in the world [farming]

In the Su family's front hall, Mrs. Lu is sitting on top of the main seat, and Tan Guan is firmly seated at the head of the guest seat. Beside him are his wife, Mrs. Zhong, and her daughter, Tan Ruyi.

Opposite the Qin family, sat the elegant and free-spirited Su Beigu. At the moment when Su Qin's family looked at each other and the atmosphere became increasingly awkward, she was the only one who was making tea leisurely as if she had nothing to do with herself.This made everyone present extremely awkward, as if they were not here to deal with the follow-up of Sunancheng's escaped marriage today, but to hold a tea tasting conference.

It's not that everyone finds it awkward. For example, Tan Ruyi has been staring at Su Beigu's movements, as if studying his tea-making skills seriously.

"Cough!" Tan Guan coughed hard, trying to bring up the topic.

Su Bei, who had cooked the tea, poured four cups of tea on his own, and asked the little maid to serve the three to the Qin family, while Lu's cup of tea was served by her herself.

The aroma of tea penetrated into his nose, even Tan Guan, who didn't know how to taste tea, subconsciously took a sip of tea.With this rank, the tension just now disappeared into nothingness.

Tan Guan seemed to have calmed down, knowing that it was meaningless to blindly accuse Mrs. Lu, so he said in a deep voice, "We are going to welcome the bride the day after tomorrow, and all the invitations have been sent out. It is ready, how can we say that it will be postponed?"

Lu Shi naturally knew that, after all, the Su family was also rushing to prepare for the wedding to be held as scheduled.Su Nancheng ran away from marriage without even discussing it with her. He left a letter from his family and slipped away. If he didn't have a ghost in his heart, how could he not even have the courage to tell her face to face?

But Su Nancheng had already escaped from the marriage, so apart from postponement, the only option was to cancel the engagement.

But ask yourself, does Lu Shi really want to call off the engagement?

These years, the Qin family did not take the initiative to mention it, but Lu did not forget the debts that the Su family owed to the Qin family.

Although Su Nancheng has obtained her father's former official position, but this is a low-income official, and his salary is barely enough for a family of three to live on. If he wants to live a prosperous life, he still has to rely on running the family property.

The Su family used to be very rich, but Su Deng was a person with no reasonable concept of consumption. He spent a lot of money, and when he couldn't make ends meet, his family property shrank little by little.

And the Lu family he married was the youngest daughter of the family before she got married, and she had never learned account management from her elders since she was a child, so that after marriage, she was not only unable to restrain Su Deng's extravagant behavior, but also unable to manage the family property in an orderly manner.

Without proper guidance, Su Nancheng learned a lot about his father's bad habits: he squandered all his salary, and sometimes asked his family for money, so after all these years, the Su family not only couldn't pay it back. All the debts, on the contrary, are getting more and more difficult.

If Su Nancheng repented of the marriage openly, then the Qin family must repay the debt twice as much.

The Su family can't afford it.

In addition, Tan Ruyi still has a considerable dowry, if she marries in, it will definitely make life easier for the Su family.

If this is just wishful thinking of the Su family, then what does the Tan family think?

Consistent with Lu's thinking, the Qin family is also unwilling to cancel the engagement.

When the Su family was down and down, Tan Ruyi's grandfather fell in love with Su Nancheng because the Su family used to be an official household. After he took over Su Deng's official position, he still counted as an official household.Tan Ruyi's grandfather lent money to the Su family to make this marriage, just to invest in the Su family, so that the Tan family could also have a chance to turn around.

The ancestors of the Qin family were all carpenters, and the generation of Tan Ruyi's great-grandfather started to learn how to make coffins.Industries related to death are often discriminated against. As a carpenter who is already on the second-to-last ladder of "scholar, agriculture, industry and commerce", the discriminated carpenter often works with coffins, and his status naturally falls again and again.

But even though many people discriminate against the coffin maker, it cannot change the fact that this industry is very profitable.

A low-grade coffin made of miscellaneous wood is worth a lot of money, and the cost of buying the wood is only one hundred yuan.A pair of mid-range coffins made of Chinese fir wood can be worth anywhere from [-] to [-] guan, and the cost of buying Chinese fir is about [-] guan.Finally, there are high-end coffins made of precious wood such as nanmu, which are worth hundreds of guan.

In troubled times, people die every day, from nobles to ordinary people, as long as they die, they need a coffin.Therefore, the ancestors of the Qin family have made decades of dead money in a low-key manner despite discrimination and infamy.

After the Qin family became rich, they began to think about changing the family.It's a pity that the Qin family's blood is weak. Tan Ruyi's grandfather has only one son, Tan Guan, and Tan Guan has only one daughter, Tan Ruyi. The Tan family can only improve their society by finding a husband with a better family for Tan Ruyi and through in-laws. status.

Other high families looked down on the Tan family, only the Su family happened to be in decline and gave the Tan family a chance.

The Qin family doesn't want to miss this opportunity, so this marriage is not only about the face of the Qin family, but also about whether the business planning of the Qin family over the years will be in vain.

Under the circumstances that neither party is willing to cancel the marriage contract, this negotiation is destined to end in a compromise between the two parties.

Lu Shi said: "I don't want to postpone it either, but if I don't postpone it, I'm afraid that Ruyi will suffer some grievances."

It's not uncommon for the groom to be unable to attend the wedding, and "smart" people come up with the ridiculous idea of ​​using a chicken instead of the groom.

Doing extraordinary things at an extraordinary time, Lu Shi naturally thought of this method, so he felt wronged Tan Ruyi.

Tan Guan has a tacit understanding with the Su family on this idea.

But the groom is not paralyzed in bed, nor is he terminally ill, but he wants his daughter to marry a chicken when he is not sick or in pain. This is too bullying, how can he agree? !

Negotiations were briefly deadlocked.

At this time, Su Beigu, who had been staying out of the situation but silently paying attention to everyone's reactions, asked suspiciously, "Mother, Uncle Qin, Auntie Tan, why don't you ask Sister Ah Qin what she thinks?"

Everyone was stunned by her sudden question.

Lu didn't understand why she had to consider Tan Ruyi's thoughts; Tan Guan and Zhong, as parents, had long ago subtly agreed with the general theory that "parents make decisions about children's marriages", so whether it was intentional or unintentional, None of them ever thought of letting Tan Ruyi make up her own mind.

Now that Su Bei Gu brought it up, Tan Guan also wanted to go through the process and ask his daughter what she thought.So he looked at Tan Ruyi who had a down-browed and compliant face, and asked, "Ruyi, what do you think?"

how do i think

Tan Ruyi's eyes lightly passed over the family members and Su's mother and daughter.She feels that what she thinks is not important, what matters is what the people present want her to think.

Turning back and forth in her heart, Tan Ruyi raised her eyes to look at Su Beigu, as if a little timid and pitiful: "I listen to my parents."

Su Beigu: "..."

Su Beigu saw the shadow of Lu Shi in her body, who was also timid and without assertiveness.

"Forget it, women in this era live and grow up in such an oppressive environment, can they still expect to live freely and show their true side like the female immortal cultivators who hold up half the sky in the immortal world?" Su Beigu thought disappointedly.

Although he was not surprised by his daughter's answer, Tan Guan nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his head to ask Lu Shi to continue to give a better solution.

Apart from divination and divination, what other good ideas can Lu Shi have?

Thinking of this, she tentatively said: "Why don't you go to the sorceress for a divination?"

Tan Guan and Zhong Shi, Su Bei Gu and Tan Ruyi were all silent.

God damn divination, why don't you let Tan Ruyi marry the divination "筶"?

Realizing from everyone's expressions that this idea was not a good idea, Lu Shi closed his mouth with a sneer.

Zhong was more thoughtful, and his eyes lingered on Su Beigu's face, sticking like a piece of dog skin cream and refusing to move away.

Suddenly, she came up with an idea, and said: "Our family will suffer and suffer some grievances, and we admit it, but don't spoil my family's Ruyi too badly, at least find someone to welcome the relatives and pay homage to Sunancheng. "

This idea was proposed by the Tan family, and Lu climbed down the steps: "Looking for someone? Who is the right one to look for?"

There are no brothers in Sunan City, so it is not appropriate to find a man from outsiders, it will damage the reputation of both parties, so it is most suitable to find a woman among relatives.

There is only one younger sister in Su Bei Gu in Sunan City, but this younger sister is five points similar to her elder brother...

Everyone imagined and thought boldly in their minds, and finally thought of a place strangely, and looked at Su Beigu one after another.

Su Beigu: "?"

The author has something to say:

Susu: You are not right.
