Records of the King of Xin'an County

At the same moment, Wang Ziling came to the inner hall in a hurry, and said to Xiao Yang almost agitatedly: "It's been a few days, when will Auntie give the hundred coins to the child? My cousin two days ago So I sent someone over to ask, when will we go to the Yang family to propose a marriage, the Duke of the county should have asked about it. But the betrothal gift has not been prepared yet, and the family can't even get a hundred crowns, so how can we pass the six ceremony in a serious manner?"

"Marriage proposal?" Young Lady Yang looked haggard, pressed her forehead and said wearily, "What are you in a hurry for? You only need to invite an official matchmaker, and you can go to Yang's family to propose marriage. After accepting the prize, ask It takes at least a month for the name and Najib's three gifts, and when the Najib is received, the 32 dowry gifts will definitely be ready."

"Then when can I give this hundred crowns to my child? Prepare the dowry gift earlier, and I will feel more at ease." Wang Ziling couldn't help but urged, "Cousin has always known about the preparation of the dowry gift for my child, and I must never let it go." He can see that our family is already a strong outsider, otherwise who knows if Yang Shangshu will regret the marriage..." Now he regrets asking Yang Qian about the betrothal gift.With Yang Qian's intelligence, how could he fail to see that the Wang family has no money left?Otherwise, why would he suddenly return to Shangzhou without continuing to buy dowry gifts?

Listening to his urging and urging, Xiao Yang felt more and more headaches, and couldn't help but said angrily: "You only know how to ask for money all day long, how do you know the difficulties of the family's financial affairs?! Just because of you, I don't know Sold off a few Zhuangzi shops!! I thought you would be more promising than the son of that bitch, but who knew that all this money was wasted!! Look at you! What do you look like now? I just want to marry you The concubine of the Yang family doesn't even care about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of her parents and siblings in the future?!"

No matter how hard you try, it can't compare to Wang Ziling's offering, which has always been Wang Ziling's backlash.He didn't want to hear anyone belittle himself, not even his own mother.Xiao Yang scolded him in tears, never noticed that his face was already extremely ugly, his eyes were wide open, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"All in all, I really can't afford a hundred guan right now. If you are in a hurry to use the money, you might as well go out and ask your family brothers to borrow it. These days I have been shy to borrow money from those sluts, but no one I agree!! Hmph, if they ask me for anything in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Yang raised her hand to signal Wang Ziling to leave.

Wang Ziling took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, Fang said: "If the child goes to find someone to borrow money, our family's face will be lost. If Grandpa finds out, he will definitely not spare the child easily. "

Xiao Yang closed her eyes: "Then you just wait, it's a big deal, I'll save my face and send someone to borrow some money from your grandfather and uncle to get by. Anyway, the marriage of Shangshu Yang's family has been settled, we invited the official media Just go to propose a marriage. What should be yours is yours, and nothing will go wrong."

Wang Ziling's eyes sank, and he said in a low voice: "My child, remember, there are two Zhuangzi and three shops in Aniang's hands, scattered in Shangzhou and Huazhou. That is Aniang's real dowry. You only need Aniang to sell it. One place, the family can tide over the difficulties. I guarantee that I will redeem it within half a year! I will never let Aniang's dowry go outside!"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Xiao Yang casually threw out the porcelain pillow beside him and smashed it behind him.Wang Ziling was completely stunned by the loud noise, the tiles splashed everywhere scratched the back of his hands and cheeks, and thin lines of blood flowed out, but he didn't seem to notice, staring blankly at Xiao Yang, As if frozen in fright.

And Xiao Yang's face was pale, and she looked crazy: "I'm not dead yet! You're thinking about selling my dowry?! You unfilial son! Who told you my dowry list?! Who is it? My wife told you?! Get out! Get out immediately!!"

At this moment, the woman in front of her has no trace of the elegance of a noblewoman from a family, her hair is disheveled, her teeth and claws are bared, she is no different from a street shrew.Wang Ziling didn't dare to annoy her any more, and slowly backed away.

However, before he could leave the inner hall, a group of women with big arms and round waists rushed in.Their faces are extremely strange, and their goals are extremely clear.Several people surrounded her, completely ignoring Xiao Yang's crazy appearance, pinned her down very familiarly, and stuffed her mouth with a soft towel.

"You... who are you guys?! Why did you break into my house?!" Wang Ziling finally came to his senses and shouted loudly.

However, these women ignored him, wrapped Xiao Yang tightly with the brocade quilt on the bed, and carried him out neatly.And Xiao Yang's personal maidservant and confidant lady in charge also did the same. In the blink of an eye, there were several more quilts inside and outside the main courtyard, and they were quietly and neatly carried out of the Wang's house, and quickly put in In the carriage outside.

Wang Ziling immediately chased after him, and when he came to the outer courtyard, he met the patriarch, the elders of the clan, and Wang Chang who was tied up.He opened his mouth and almost squeezed out his voice: "What does this mean from grandfather? What did my grandpa and grandma do wrong? To humiliate them like this?"

"You also come and listen together, and you will know what mistake they made." The patriarch looked at him coldly, and asked someone to call Wang Zixian, "Zixian should also know about this. Xiangniang...are just two ignorant little ladies. If they come back from outside, they will be sent to the old man's house, and they will be raised by their wives in the future. Zimu...send someone to Chang'an to call him back. "

In the evening, both inside and outside the Langya Wang Clan's Shangzhou Fangzong Temple were already full of adult men of different ages.If it is not a seasonal sacrifice, the ancestral hall is usually not opened in a serious manner, let alone interrogating the clansmen in the ancestral hall.Everyone was very curious about who committed the heinous crime that made the patriarch and the elders so angry.

Wang Zixian led Wang Ziling and Wang Zimu, and passed through the crowd silently.Many unexplained eyes were cast on them, which was enough to make the three young men uneasy.However, the only one who feels the panic and suffering seems to be the ignorant Wang Zimu.Both Wang Zixian and Wang Ziling are extremely calm, so calm that Wang Zimu feels that they are very far away.

When the three of them entered the ancestral hall, the door slammed shut, blocking all eyes from the outside.The candles in the ancestral hall were brightly lit, and hundreds of thousands of black tablets were lined up in rows, as if countless pairs of eyes were silently watching everyone present.After the patriarchs and elders burned incense and respected their ancestors, they sat down on the main seat, and the heads of each family sat on both sides.

The three brothers of Wang Zixian are all young men who have not yet grown up, so they should not have come in.But since it was their parents who were involved, they made an exception and let them in.Naturally, they were not qualified to sit down, so they could only stand silently in the corner and watch.

At this time, Wang Chang and Xiao Yang were escorted by the clansmen, and they knelt down on the ground.

Wang Zimu looked at them steadfastly, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem surprised.He seemed to have expected a long time ago that sooner or later his father and mother would fall to this point.Although Wang Ziling seemed to be calm, he clenched his fists tightly and tried to restrain his trembling hands—although he didn't know what happened to Wang Chang and Xiao Yang, he couldn't imagine that this matter would affect him. What kind of influence will his marriage and his future prospects bring.

"I don't want to hear your sophistry." The old patriarch was very straightforward, and someone brought Zhou Zhoulang up, "This man has been part of your family for generations, and even the old man remembers what he looks like. Four years ago, you claimed that two or three The ten tribes met bandits when they went out, and they all died unexpectedly. The old man and the people present here all remember this incident. Not long after, you said that the family members of these tribes either died of illness, or they were released as good citizens so that they became civilians. There are still many tribesmen who can testify—"

He changed the subject and said with a sneer: "Then why did Zhou Lang escape to the old man's house recently, saying that they never died in the face of bandits at all, but were sent out by you to do treason?! Of course the old man didn't." Will believe his one-sided words, and finally send someone to the state government to check with Cao, you have never let Buqu be a good book in the past few years! Overnight, all the family members of Buqu reported illness and died, and the guest books were sold out. Clean it up!!"

"What a death... Dozens of people died of illness just like that? Naturally, the old man doesn't believe in evil, so he asked someone to dig up the grave and examine it carefully. It turned out that he was either poisoned or beheaded. Tell me, what happened? What kind of treason did you send these parts to do?! If you never did it, why are you so guilty that you want to kill people?!"

Wang Chang was dejected and didn't dare to say more, but Young Yang raised his head and said, "With just a mere rhetoric, the patriarch is going to wrong us? Buqu committed a crime outside and caused his family members to be killed. We were shocked at the time and covered it up in a panic..."

"Evil woman! Don't make excuses! Do you think the old man can't find other evidence? I'm afraid you can't imagine that these parts will be rough and detailed, so keep such important evidence!!" The patriarch sent several letters Throw it in front of them—the familiar font, and even have your own seal to testify.When Xiao Yang took a closer look, she suddenly felt dizzy.Wang Chang even hunched over and almost fell to the ground.

"Four years ago, the great treason case that happened in Shangzhou is still fresh in everyone's memory." An old man took the words, "Unexpectedly, even you were involved in it? How dare you dare to assassinate His Highness King Pu?! Back then Let you escape, do you still think you are lucky?! Patriarch, you must not condone the heinous crimes they committed. Otherwise, if this incident is revealed in the future, the whole clan will definitely be implicated by them !"

All the people followed suit with sympathy.The big treason case back then shocked the entire Shangzhou.Many small aristocratic clans have disappeared since then, and no longer exist.Although only the culprit was sentenced to beheading, the treason that had already started was of great importance, and the whole family was not spared, and they were all exiled to the desolate Lingnan land.Families that marry into these small aristocratic families are also trembling, and never dare to cross the threshold.

At that time, they still felt that fortunately, the members of the Wang clan have always been prudent, and they would never do such a stupid thing. Who would have thought that someone was so stupid! !Such idiots are simply the scourge of the whole family, how can they be allowed to live in peace?If something happens again, I will regret it! !
