"Mr. Zhuo, you are as talented as you are, and you agree with Ling Ai. Now that they have married, why don't you help them!"

Xia Xiyan woke up on the second day of crossing, brought Zhuo Wenshu and Zhuo Jun with her for breakfast, Sima Xiangru's good brother Wang Ji, the county magistrate of Linqiong County, came to speak for Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun .

Xia Xiyan asked the slave to take the children down, and then looked at Wang Ji with a sneer. Wang Ji was so speechless that she asked the slave to see the guests off in a cold voice, and drove him out in disguise.

Xia Xiyan actually wanted someone to beat him out for this kind of person who brought someone to plot against other people's daughters, and finally persuaded him to accept it, but the other party was also the county magistrate of their county, so it seemed a bit awkward to beat him out. No, but Xia Xiyan has many ways to deal with this kind of person, but not now. Now, Xia Xiyan thinks it's better to deal with her unfilial daughter who is about to come to her door soon.

"Ada, take someone to chase after Miss. After you catch up, ask her if she is sure that she is not coming back with that poor man Sima Xiangru? If so, let her marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog, and I will die with my Zhuo family." After all the relationship, you take back all the things she took away from my Zhuo Mansion, remember everything, including the maid who took away, if she gives up with that Sima Xiangru, you bring her back, by the way Beat Sima Xiangru who seduced her in front of her!" Xia Xiyan ordered her capable servants to go out to chase Zhuo Wenjun, although she knew that Zhuo Wenjun, who only had love in her mind now, would not come back, but still Said another option.

"It's the head of the family!" After hearing the order, Ah Da took a few people to chase Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru on horseback, and Xia Xiyan went to check the Zhuo family's property according to Zhuo Wangsun's memory.

The Zhuo family is a family of iron smelters, and salt and iron are important economic pillars in any dynasty. The Zhuo family became rich with iron. By the generation of Zhuo Wangsun, there were more than 800 slaves. They not only smelted iron, but also developed some other industries. However, the Zhuo family has amassed trillions of dollars just relying on iron smelting, one of their main businesses, and they can be regarded as billionaires in this era.

"No wonder it attracts people's attention so much. The daughter of the Zhuo family who is on the list can save a lifetime of struggle!"

Xia Xiyan checked Zhuojia's industry and found that Zhuojia's income can be expressed in terms of daily income. In Linqiong County, a rich county, even the Zhuojia's financial resources in the country can be ranked among the top three.

"Patriarch, Missy doesn't want to come back!"

Ah Da rode a fast horse and took people to chase Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru, and came back to report to Xia Xiyan in less than a day.

Xia Xiyan completely guessed that Zhuo Wenjun would not come back, so she only cared about what Zhuo Wenjun took away from Zhuo's house.

"Patriarch, the servant only left the one she was wearing for the eldest lady, and the other hairpins were taken back by the slave girl. The servant also brought back the carriage that the eldest lady took away from home!" Ah Da As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a big bag to Xia Xiyan. Xia Xiyan took the unopened bag and turned it upside down. When she found that the weight was not light, she knew that Zhuo Wenjun was not stupid. He eloped with a lot of things, but now After being asked to come back, Xia Xiyan wanted to see how many days she could suffer with Sima Xiangru.

"Did the maid next to Missy bring you back?" Xia Xiyan threw Zhuo Wenjun's burden aside, and then asked Ah Da about another matter she cared about.

"I brought her back. When the slave wanted to bring her back, she was still unwilling and wanted to follow the eldest lady! She completely forgot who her real master is!" Ada talked to Xia Xiyan a little angrily, and Xia Xiyan said Tell him to bring up the maid.

"Patriarch!" The maid immediately saluted Xia Xiyan when she saw her. Xia Xiyan directly asked her about being a servant who openly passed a letter to Zhuo Wenjun on behalf of Sima Xiangru.

"No slaves!" The maid was very surprised that Xia Xiyan would know such a secret, but she was beaten to death and unwilling to admit such an act of treason, but Xia Xiyan knew that Sima Xiangru wanted to betray her because of the information provided by the system. It is said that she gave her all the money on her body, so that people can search for such evidence.

However, when Xia Xiyan saw a man's purse found from the evidence maid, and looked at the shabby piece of silver inside, Xia Xiyan had no idea how this piece of silver moved Zhuo Wenjun's personal maid.

But soon, Xia Xiyan guessed from the blush on the maid's face that it might not be money that moved Zhuo Wenjun's maid, but Sima Xiangru, who was an 'excellent talent'.

"Take it down, and arrange the lowest tasks for such a villain who sells the owner!" Xia Xiyan is not going to sell Zhuo Wenjun's maid, but if it is cheaper, she will be the servant of the seller when she is young, and she is going to deal with her directly in the Zhuo Mansion. .

"Patriarch...Patriarch..." Zhuo Wenjun's maid anxiously wanted to beg for mercy, but was dragged down by other servants.

"Ada, post this severance letter!" Xia Xiyan wrote the severance letter to sever her relationship with Zhuo Wenjun, and Ada made it public. In the future, Zhuo Wenjun is not a daughter of the Zhuo family. Those who have ulterior motives want to persuade her The person who made them perfect just shut up obediently for her. If she wants to use the father-daughter relationship to force her to take money to support Sima Xiangru, a scumbag who wants to eat soft rice, Xia Xiyan would rather throw the money in the river!

Is it because Zhuo Wangsun has a good face, and it is impossible to really let go of his daughter Zhuo Wenjun who has been raised for more than ten years, so he dared to let Zhuo Wenjun elope, cook rice and come back to ask for forgiveness and take the dowry .

What she thought was beautiful, but Xia Xiyan refused to let them do so. She would feel sorry for Zhuo Wenjun if she wasn't Zhuo Wangsun, and she wouldn't be good at his vain face.

Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru eloped. Although the Zhuo family was a bit ashamed, because of the openness of the people in the Han Dynasty, the elopement of couples was not as intolerant as later generations, so the Zhuo family did not lose much, and it would not rise to any family tradition. Come on, this will not have much impact on the other members of the Zhuo family.

Before Xia Xiyan saw that Zhuo Wenjun had an unmarried younger sister, she was worried that Zhuo Wenjun's elopement would affect Zhuo Wenshu's reputation in the future. After learning about the cultural customs of the Han Dynasty, she felt that she was overthinking. It is not as harsh as the later generations. The Confucian ethics' dogma for women is still in its infancy, so women in this era are still relatively open.

***

Since Xia Xiyan asked Ah Da to recover the things that Zhuo Wenjun took away from the Zhuo family, she didn't take care of them anymore. Instead, she took the obedient and sensible Zhuo Jun and Zhuo Wenshu with her while managing the Zhuo family's property. Education around.

Checking the account books every day, raising a child who is not disturbed, Xia Xiyan felt that this kind of life was pretty good, Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru finally walked from Chengdu to Laiqiong County.

"Changqing, we have finally arrived in Linqiong County! My father will definitely accept us!" Zhuo Wenjun, who was dressed in coarse cloth, talked to Sima Xiangru a little excitedly when he saw the streets she was familiar with in Linqiong County.

Sima Xiangru wiped the sweat from his head, but he felt that Zhuo Wenjun's father would not accept them so easily, otherwise he would have eloped with Zhuo Wenjun, and Zhuo Wenjun's father was chasing them on the way they fled. They didn't force him to take Zhuo Wenjun away, but they didn't accept their order and snatched back all the wealth Zhuo Wenjun brought out.

At that time, Sima Xiangru thought that it was because Xia Xiyan was so angry that he ignored Zhuo Wenjun so unfeelingly. He took Zhuo Wenjun, who had no carriage and no maid, and walked back to his hometown in Chengdu on foot, but he stayed for less than a day. However, Sima Xiangru couldn't afford the money to support the two of them, and the two looked at each other hungry.

In the end, they pawned the only fancy dress Zhuo Wenjun was wearing, and got some money to fill their stomachs, and the two survived that day.

Afterwards, the two of them agreed that Sima Xiangru could not stay in his desolate hometown, so they bought some dry food with the pawn money for clothes, and then they walked back to Linqiong County from Chengdu on foot, wanting to "beg" Xia Xiyan recognition of them.

Sima Xiangru looked back at Zhuo Wenjun who had become thin and haggard after following her through some hard times, and felt that Xia Xiyan would feel a little distressed when she saw such a daughter, and even if she would not accept him for a while, she would still support Zhuo Wen You have some money, at least to keep them from living a life without enough to eat, but they saw a striking severance letter posted at the entrance of Linqiong County.

"Father, have you severed your father-daughter relationship with me?" Zhuo Wenjun thought it was an illusion when he saw the severance letter, and Sima Xiangru's eyes were stung by the severance notices posted everywhere.Zhuo Wenjun's father severed the relationship with Zhuo Wenjun, so it means that Zhuo Wenjun will not have the dowry for Zhuo's daughter to marry. Without the dowry, what is the use of his efforts to marry Zhuo Wenjun?

"No, I'm going to find my father, he won't treat me like this!" When Zhuo Wenjun realized that Xia Xiyan was not going to recognize her, he was a little flustered and wanted to go to Xia Xiyan, but what did Sima Xiangru think of? He pulled her back and said, "Wen Jun, if you take the initiative to find your father, your father will look down on us! Since he has already signed a letter of severance to sever the relationship between father and daughter, he is forcing you to admit your mistake to him. Forcing you to separate from me!"

"No, I will not be persecuted by him, Changqing, since I have left with you, we will be together for a long time! Even if life is hard, I am willing to follow you." Sima Xiangru's words made Zhuo Wenjun gave up taking the initiative to find Xia Xiyan, and also held in his heart that Xia Xiyan could not really ignore her daughter ruthlessly.

Seeing Zhuo Wenjun's determination, Sima Xiangru felt more at ease, and because the two were penniless, not even money to stay in the inn, Sima Xiangru could only turn to Wang Ji, the county magistrate of Linqiong County, for help.

"Changqing, brothers and sisters, why are you in such a mess!"

At home, Wang Ji received a notice from his slaves that Sima Xiangru was visiting, and he came out happily, but he saw Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, both in coarse clothes.

No matter how poor Sima Xiangru was before, he seldom wore such clothes, and it was even more impossible for Zhuo Wenjun, who was the daughter of the Zhuo family.

"It's hard to say!" Sima Xiangru was a little embarrassed to face his friend in such a suit, but he was helpless. The little money he had before was used to buy Zhuo Wenjun's maid to deliver the letter for him. Jun would always bring some soft things when he eloped with him, and those things would be enough for them to spend for a year or so, and as long as he persisted for a year and a half, he would have a way to make Zhuo Wenjun's father accept them.But he didn't want Xia Xiyan to send someone to take away all the things that Zhuo Wenjun brought out. Sima Xiangru didn't even want to say that he was hurt when he saw Ah Da take away the carriage that he drove out. The carriage was sold. With a huge sum of money, he can set up some family property in Linqiong County, and he doesn't need to ask his friends for help in such a poor and poor way.

"Patriarch, they're here!" Xia Xiyan knew that Zhuo Wenjun and the others would not come back to force her to accept them, so she kept letting people watch them in Linqiong County, so as soon as they came back, someone reported to ask Xia Xiyan what to do with them .

"You said they walked to Linqiong County on foot, Zhuo Wenjun and he were both dressed in coarse clothes, and they couldn't even rent a place to live, so they went to ask Wang Ji for help?" Xia Xiyan heard Ah Da talking to Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wen You couldn't help laughing at Jun's description.

Sure enough, it was right to send Ada to recover the money Zhuo Wenjun took away. Look at them now, they don't even have the ability to sell hotels to sell wine and disgusting Zhuojia!
