The First Slope of Spring in the World [Farming] GL MTL

1-10

1

On the eve of the beginning of summer, the fields that had always been filled with the chirping of insects and birds were replaced by the sound of frogs after the first break of the showers.

The sound of frogs seems to be far away in the night, but also as clear as if it is outside the corner of the house, one after another, like the interlude at the turn of spring and summer. The occasional pause is like a subtle pause in the transition of a movement, which is just right.

The window was slightly propped up, and the evening breeze blew in through the window.

Tan Ruyi sat on the chair by the window, holding her chin with one hand, as if immersed in the music played by the frogs. However, if you listen carefully, you can hear a small quarrel coming from a house not far away. It is mixed with the sound of frogs, so abrupt and discordant.

"We're going to get married in two days. He, Su Nancheng, went home to prepare for the wedding. He left a letter from home saying that he was going to the police post. The return date has not yet been determined. He hopes that the wedding date will be changed. Is this ridiculous?" Tan Ruyi listened quietly and knew that this was the case

. Her mother was talking, and she could hear the suppressed anger underneath her mother's complaints.

After a while, her father said slowly: "After all, it is official business. If the official business is delayed due to the wedding date, if the boss blames it, it will affect the future." This reason obviously failed to convince her mother, but instead seemed

like Adding more fuel to the fire, her mother's voice became even louder: "The auspicious date of the zodiac has been decided long ago, and both families have discussed it. Why should he ask the superior for permission to take three days off to hold the wedding?" After that, he can go wherever he likes. This has been decided a long time ago. His boss is so short-sighted that at this juncture, he is asked to patrol the police station? Besides, is he such a hard-working person in Sunan City?" "You kid

? Speak louder, let dad hear it, and this matter will not end well!"

As if she had some scruples, her mother lowered her voice again: "I think he is probably dissatisfied with the marriage and deliberately escaped from the marriage!"

Tan Ruyi She didn't hear her father's voice, but thinking about it, she knew that her father must be frowning and feeling heavy at the moment.

As the day of her daughter's wedding approaches, her future son-in-law runs away from the marriage on the pretext of being on business. If something like this happens, no one can get rid of the heavy shackles in their heart.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the couple to be alone, her mother wantonly vented her dissatisfaction: "The Su family is really cruel, mean and unkind. When Su Deng was killed by thieves, those relatives were eyeing the Su family's property. What happened to their orphaned and widowed mother?" Can you keep the family business? You didn't survive with our help! But now that life is getting better, they start to take Qiao again, despising us as coffin makers and not worthy of their Su family. When it comes to burning bridges, their Su family is really useless. No one can reach it!"

The sound of frogs in the corner outside the house stopped for a moment, and Tan Ruyi heard her father snort coldly. The frogs sounded again, and Tan Ruyi thought her father's cold snort was just her imagination.

Her father said in a deep voice: "It's better to hide this from dad first. If he knows about it, he might be very angry again." Her mother's tone was full of melancholy: "We can hide this matter for a day or two. When the time comes

, How can you keep it a secret on the day of the wedding?"

Her father remained silent again as usual, and after a while he said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Su family to urge them to come up with a solution." There was no candlelight

. Under the shadow, Tan Ruyi's expression was indistinguishable. She stood up and put away the wooden pole supporting the window, then walked to the dressing table and loosened her bun.

The open letter on the dressing table was accidentally swept off her sleeve. She bent down to pick it up. Her eyes fell on the lines of words that smelled of cheap ink. The corners of her mouth suddenly turned up slightly, revealing a half-smile. look.

Since he, Su Nancheng, dares to escape from marriage, he should bear the consequences of escape from marriage.

Outside the house, drizzle began to fall in the night sky again. The evening breeze blew gently, and it fell silently on the eaves of the Su family's house two miles away.

The drizzle was silently tapping on the window lattice. On the couch opposite the window sill, the pale girl opened her eyes and stared at the window sill with eyes as bright as the stars in the summer night. The rain seemed to become gentle.

The sound of footsteps wandering outside the door disturbed the tranquility of the night.

The girl with a happy scarf on her head turned her head slightly and asked, "Is it mother outside?" There was a

pause of footsteps, and then a gentle and delicate voice sounded: "It's me. I saw that the lights are still on here. Xunsi you haven't rested yet, so I came to take a look."

The girl stood up, her wide and elegant blue Taoist uniform swaying in the wind, outlining her rugged shoulder blades and collarbones.

Opening the door, she saw a middle-aged woman standing outside, and the girl turned slightly sideways.

The woman walked in, took a look at the empty room, her eyes finally fell on the bed, and said: "It's already the beginning of summer, who would have thought that it rained heavily for two days in a row, and the weather turned cold again... Do you need another bedding?"

There was a hint of alienation in the girl's words: "Mom, please worry, the room is very warm, not cold."

The woman experienced it carefully and found that the room was really warm. Not cold, just like a greenhouse with a charcoal fire in winter, neither cold nor hot, just warm.

The woman could not find a suitable topic for a while and remained silent.

The girl didn't speak either.

Finally, the woman couldn't stand the awkward and stalemate atmosphere, and said sarcastically: "Gu'er, your brother is out on a business trip, but his wedding day is only two days away, and I don't know if he can make it back. What do you think we should do about this?"

Girl, Su Bei looked at his biological mother, Lu, and seemed a little confused. Lu, an adult and the eldest elder in the family, would deal with such a serious issue. , why would you ask for advice from a junior like her?

Forgive Su Beigu for not knowing about her biological mother, because she was sent to a Taoist temple to become a monk when she was very young. She has rarely returned to the Su family in recent years, and she has rarely gotten along with her biological relatives. If her family hadn't sent her a letter not long ago asking her to come back to attend her brother Su Nancheng's wedding, she probably wouldn't have set foot in the Su family.

However, she just came back and before she met her brother, she learned that his brother had left home because Shang Feng suddenly assigned him to patrol the police post road.

Patrolling the police station is not an official job that can be completed overnight, and with only two days left for the wedding, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is running away from the wedding.

At this juncture when his brother escaped from the marriage and the two families who were planning the wedding were caught off guard, Su Beigu thought at an inappropriate time: If the wedding cannot be held, can I return to Taoism?

Of course, facing her mother who came to ask her for advice, she would not give such a cold and heartless answer.

After pondering for a moment, Su Beigu spoke: "The best way is of course that my brother can come back in time, so that the wedding can go on smoothly."

Mrs. Lu choked.

Of course she knows that the best way is for her son to come back in time to marry Tan Ruyi. The key is that her son has made it clear that he does not intend to marry Tan Ruyi obediently!

Thinking of this, she told Su Beigu about the difficulties at home with a sad face.

Su Beigu listened quietly.

In fact, she had heard these things a long time ago. After all, during the years she lived in the Taoist temple, only Mr. Lu would visit her every one or two months. Once she heard other people's gossip, Mrs. Lu was worried that she would think too much, so she explained to her why her father and brother did not come to see her, saying that they were busy or had other unavoidable reasons, and hoped that she would not blame them.

Su Beigu didn't blame them, or in other words, she never placed her feelings or thoughts on them.

Because I don't care, I don't blame.

The topic has gone too far. Su Beigu learned from Mr. Lu that her father's name was Su Deng, and he was the [Madi Shop Official] in Tanzhou.

The so-called "Madipu" is the yamen responsible for conveying official documents from the imperial court, while the "Madipu official" is the official responsible for the affairs of the state's post offices and post roads. This official position meant that her father had to go out on patrol every now and then, so in her mother's eyes, he was very busy.

And frequent outings for inspections are doomed to greatly increase his chances of encountering danger, especially in troubled times.

No, four years ago, he encountered rebels while patrolling the post road. The rebels were afraid that he would pass on the news, so they killed him.

The first time Su Beigu returned to the Su family was for the funeral.

Su Deng was the backbone of the Su family. After his death, the good days of the Su family were gone forever:

first, relatives coveted the Su family's property on the pretext of organizing funerals for the Su family; The Lu brothers, who had registered part of their family's property in the name of the Lu family because of their official household status, could enjoy tax exemptions and exemptions, came to claim their property back. Finally, funeral arrangements required a large amount of expenses, which was enough to drain the Su family's wealth. .

At this time, the Qin family, who sells coffins in the same town, allows the Su family to buy a good coffin on credit so that Suden can be buried early.

Mrs. Lu was very grateful to the Qin family.

After Su Deng's funeral was completed and the Su family, mother and son, had observed his mourning for three years, Tan Ruyi also reached the marriageable age. But because many people think that the Tan family who deals with coffins is very unlucky, and they are afraid that marrying Tan Ruyi will bring bad luck home, so Tan Ruyi has been unable to find a good marriage.

At the same time, because Su Deng was killed by a rebel, the court allowed Su Deng's son, Sunan City, to act as his father's official position, but it required him to pay a large sum of money, which was obtained through "donating grain to the official position." Official position.

Sunan Chengkong had the chance but couldn't come up with the money, while Tan Ruyi had a generous dowry but couldn't find a good wife.

After Tan Ruyi's grandfather learned the news, he proposed that if Sunancheng was willing to marry Tan Ruyi, the Tan family would be willing to pay the money for Sunancheng.

The Su family agreed to the marriage.

After Su Nancheng got the money, he succeeded his father Su Deng's official position as he wished, and then peacefully played the role of the Qin family's future good boss and son-in-law under the noses of the Qin family.

It wasn't until the wedding was approaching that he showed off his fox tail - like many others, he didn't want to marry Tan Ruyi because he felt that her background was very unlucky and would affect his official career. But he is where he is today thanks to the help of the Qin family.

He couldn't refuse this marriage, so he simply dealt with it with a negative attitude, letting the Qin family retreat in the face of difficulties.

Mrs. Lu also knew that her son was dissatisfied with this marriage, but it was impossible for her to reveal it to her daughter so frankly.

But no matter how much she beautifies Sunan City, she can't blind Su Beigu's eyes.

Agreeing to the marriage but finding ways to delay the wedding is breaking one's word; agreeing to the Tan family's deal and getting an official position but looking down on the Tan family is ungrateful; in the end, he insisted on escaping from the marriage regardless of the impact it would have on Tan Ruyi and even the Su Tan family. , is for selfishness.

This is a complete scumbag!

If it weren't for the fact that the Su and Tan families had a lot of entanglements, and she, the nominal daughter of the Su family, couldn't interfere, she would have definitely advised Tan Ruyi to happily stay away from the scum and the scumbag family.

The author has something to say:

Su Beigu: Sisters, run away from the scumbag and his family and live a happy life.

Instant Noodles: Please wake up, you are also a part of the scumbag's family.

Su Beigu: Oh.
