Chapter 141 II 6. Satire
The old man Tian grabbed Tian Erya and glared at his son: "Tie Zhu, hurry up and grab your sister, are you an idiot? Why don't you let her mess around here and embarrass her, and don't help dad tie her home?"

Tie Zhu was in a dilemma: "Father, my sister is not a child, you can't use coercive means to deal with her!" He was shocked by the relationship between his sister and Zheng Yuansheng, although he didn't understand why his sister insisted on marrying Zheng Yuansheng, just like a moth to a flame , but that was also my sister's choice, and he respected it.

"Just talking nonsense. If your sister is really going to marry a prisoner, don't you become the prisoner's family? We must draw a clear line with Zheng Yuansheng. Don't talk nonsense, quickly tie up your sister and take her home." Old man Tian saw his son standing He was motionless, and his daughter struggled desperately. He couldn't control it, and mentioned grabbing a stone on the ground and sticking it to his forehead, "Erya, listen carefully, if you continue to mess around, I'll just hit myself with the stone." until you agree to go home with me. If you don't care about your father, you can mess around here."

Tian Erya saw that his father was really going to hit his forehead with a stone, so he quickly grabbed his hand: "Father, I can go back with you, but you can't force me to marry, let alone marry someone else."

"Okay." Old man Tian thought that if Zheng Yuansheng didn't come back in three to five years, Erya would get impatient and would definitely give up.As a little girl, she couldn't stand loneliness and loneliness, so she simply agreed.

"In this case, I will definitely go home. If you repent, don't blame me for repenting."

"I promise I won't force you." Old man Tian achieved his goal and took his daughter back.

The second aunt watched her son Zheng Yuansheng go farther and farther with the prisoners. When she came back, she wanted to talk to Tian Erya, but found that she was caught in the middle of her family with a helpless face. She understood her helplessness and turned to leave. Shan Tong and Shan Cong's parents.

Shan Tong is Zheng Yuansheng's good friend, and Zheng Yuansheng is also a newcomer to the list, and he was also implicated in the crime and sent to Ninggu Pagoda.

She hesitated to come forward to say hello.

Shan Tong's father and mother came over and looked around.Shan Tongniang said, "Yuan Shengniang, are you the only one in the Zheng family to see off their son?"

The second aunt made a squatting bow, lowered her eyebrows and answered: "Yes. Yuan Sheng was convicted, and the master is not feeling well. The rest of the family is afraid of being involved, so no one will come to see him off. Only I will come. I am his mother, and I cannot Don’t come.” Now that it’s impossible for his son to take the imperial examination, his parentage is irrelevant.It's ironic that he, the biological mother, would announce it openly after her son was convicted.

Father Shan Tong smiled bitterly: "Zheng Zongde is really cruel. His own son will be sent away thousands of miles away. I don't know when he will be able to see him again. No matter how unwell he is, he should come to send his son off."

"It's fine for my own mother to give it to me. I was afraid that Yuan Sheng would suffer hardships on the way, so I prepared silver and dry food for my son. However, the government did not allow them to bring things, and the silver and dry food I brought did not exist at all. Send it out. I'm afraid the child will suffer in the future."

"In order to prevent similar incidents of imperial examination fraud, the imperial court specially punished them severely to imitate others. Today, the government is very aggressive. In the past, before the prisoners who were assigned to leave, the government would accommodate them and let the family members meet with the prisoners. They can exchange shoes and take things. But this time, the government didn't give these convicted juren the opportunity to see their families."

The second aunt wiped her tears: "They are too cruel. These young people are skinny, covered with bruises, and walk thousands of miles with heavy shackles and anklets. How can they persevere?"

"Your family Yuansheng is very lucky to have a fiancée like Tian Erya come to see him off. I think Tian Erya specially changed Yuansheng to new shoes and new socks. So many officials saw her behavior like that with their own eyes and did not stop her Those of us who are parents want to be closer to our children, so we were scolded to go back. Yuansheng wears new shoes, which are much better than Dantong." Shan Tongniang said comforting words, tears falling down.

The second aunt hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Shan Tong has always been stronger than Yuan Sheng, even if he doesn't have new shoes, he will survive, so don't feel too bad."

"Yuansheng is lucky to meet a benevolent and righteous girl like Tian Erya! Even if he is convicted, Tian Erya will never leave. Unlike us, the bride who has been married for half a year is still far away from Shantong. Cousin, when I heard that Dan Tong was arrested for cheating in the scientific examination, I immediately went back to my mother's house, and the next day someone sent He Lishu."

"This... does Shan Tong know?"

Father Shantong nodded: "Although we didn't tell him clearly, he must have known that she didn't see his wife today. In fact, when he was in prison, I sent someone to send him medicine and medicine at a huge price. If there is no food, he asked someone to tell us that his wife should reconcile with him and not drag others down."

The second aunt was shocked, and immediately said: "The famous family will protect their own interests as soon as something happens. This is inevitable."

Shan Tongniang patted her hand: "Yuan Sheng still has the foresight to choose Zhong Tian Erya as his wife. If we have a daughter-in-law like Tian Erya in Shantong who you share with him through hardships, we will wish for it, and our son will be blessed."

"I think the other party is willing to share weal and woe, but if Yuan Sheng doesn't come back for a few years, I can't keep delaying him!" Second Aunt sighed.

Shan Tong's parents also sighed, both of them thought of the real scene, bowed their heads helplessly, bid farewell and left.

Tian Erya returned to Tian's sword shop.

At first, Old Man Tian acted like he was guarding against thieves, looking at her, afraid that she would sneak out of the house or make other moths.However, for several days in a row, seeing her daughter honestly selling iron and scissors, the heart hanging in mid-air finally felt at ease.

On this day, Tian Erya was sharpening the edge of the scissors.

Zheng Jiaqi came to her booth: "Sister Erya?"

"Miss Jiaqi, why are you here when you are free?"

"Sister Erya, I made some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and brought them here for you. From now on, you can call me Jiaqi!" Jiaqi lowered her voice, "I really want to call you sister-in-law, but I know your father doesn't like it with you. For my brother's marriage, I don't know when my brother will come back, before you are officially married, I'll call you sister!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Tian Erya opened the pastry, "Your craftsmanship is really ingenious, this pastry looks delicious."

"If you like to eat, I will make it for you often in the future."

"Aren't you busy now?"

Jia Qi smiled and said: "My husband-in-law has done a few big businesses, and the family's finances are not as tight as before. My parents-in-law let me concentrate on raising the children instead of weaving every day, so I have more free time."

"Chen Shizu is quite capable! It seems that your family will soon make a comeback and reopen Buzhuang."

"I hope! My husband is going on a long journey to the northeast this time, not far from Ninggu Pagoda. I asked him to help me find out about my brother. I believe, I will know my brother's news soon."
