Chapter 384 Tragic Zhao Pan'er(1/3)
Chapter 384 The tragedy of Zhao Paner
In a daze, Zhao Paner seemed to have returned to the day when she sent Ouyang Xu to Beijing to take the exam. It rarely snowed in Qiantang, but the snow scene that day was particularly beautiful. In the heavy snowfall, by the Qiantang Lake, Ouyang Xu held her hand and solemnly swore, his eyes
With affection and affection on his face, he said:
"Pan'er, when I go to high school this time, I will definitely marry you with all the rules and etiquette!"
On the occasion of parting, Ouyang Xu also gave her a jade pendant of the same heart to show that they are of one heart and one mind and will remain unchanged in this life. The vows of the past are still in her ears, but now she is wearing wedding clothes and is a noble girl. After the fog in front of her eyes cleared, her body was revealed in front of her.
Ouyang Xu, who was wearing a groom's suit and a big red flower on his chest, was riding a tall horse. Right in front of him, there was a woman in wedding clothes whose face could not be seen clearly. The two held hands with each other and had happy smiles on their faces.
Zhao Paner stood up suddenly and suddenly realized that she was on the bed. Everything just happened was just a nightmare. Beside her bed, Yuan Xudong was sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed. It was probably because of the rain last night and the
I didn't close my eyes all night, and now I was tired, so I watched the unconscious Zhao Pan'er fall asleep, still mumbling something in his mouth.
Three years of affectionate waiting was not as good as the one-time relationship with Yuan Xudong. Unknowingly, Zhao Paner burst into tears. She glanced at Yuan Xudong who was sleeping soundly, then raised her head and looked out the window. She vaguely heard Sun Sanniang and Uncle De.
There was a dispute outside:
"Are you trying to force Pan'er to death?"
"My master said that Madam Zhao is smart and will be able to understand his last resort!"
"Shut up, even a wise concubine in the palace has no reason to preside over a wedding casually. Didn't she ask Ouyang Xu if he was engaged before this?"
"I have asked, but between the master and Madam Zhao, there is no order from the parents and no words of matchmaking, you tell me."
"Shut up!"
Seeing Uncle De's arrogant words, Sun Sanniang was so angry that she yelled:
"You, Yin Zhang, and our family of three all know about Pan'er and Ouyang Xu's engagement!"
"Hey, that's just a verbal agreement. Without three documents and six certificates, how can it be called a marriage contract?"
"A verbal agreement is also an agreement!"
"What's more, Mrs. Zhao has a bad background after all!"
"Bah, you are from a good background, what qualifications do you have to say this?"
"If no one pays attention, you can get by, but if the virtuous concubine knows that the master has rejected her niece for a cheap, low-born woman."
"Who are you calling cheap?"
Seeing Uncle De who couldn't speak clearly, Sun Sanniang said angrily:
"You are the real bitches. In the past three years, you have been eating and living in Pan'er, and you have also spent money to buy books, ask great scholars to give lectures, and Ouyang Xu to buy land and settle in Qiantang, including your trip to Tokyo.
The expense of rushing for the exam was all earned by Pan'er every cup of tea. You are so ungrateful now. If I hadn't seen your age, I would have thrown you into the water!"
After saying that, she glanced at the sparkling Qiantang Lake, and Sun Sanniang pulled Uncle De and threw him into the water, cursing in her mouth:
"No, I'm going to throw you into the water now, and I'll make you talk bad!"
"No, this will, this will kill someone, don't, you, don't dare"
"Sanniang!"
Seeing Sun Sanniang trying to push Uncle De into the water, Zhao Paner quickly called her, then carefully avoided Yuan Xudong, who was sleeping soundly, got up from the bed, and walked into the courtyard holding on to the railings of tables and chairs.
In the courtyard, Sun Sanniang hurriedly left Uncle De behind, ran to Zhao Paner and said with concern:
"Pan'er, you're awake, are you okay?"
Looking at Sun Sanniang who was worried about her, Zhao Pan'er forced a smile and said:
"fine!"
After saying that, Zhao Paner looked at Uncle De and said directly:
"Even if you are an official, you will not condone your relatives to seize your wives and wives. When I met him, I had already quit my citizenship. I am a son of a good family!"
"Mrs. Zhao, why do you do this?"
Looking at Zhao Paner with a stubborn face, Uncle De sighed:
"Who doesn't know that among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the word "shang" is ranked last. In the eyes of the nobles, as long as they are doing business, even if they are extremely rich, they are still not in the upper class!"
"Bah, I'm so unlucky, regretting my marriage and not marrying you. How can I still speak so righteously to you?"
Glancing at Uncle De, Sun Sanniang looked at Zhao Pan'er, who was sitting on the steps at the door due to lack of physical strength, and said:
"Pan'er, let's go to the officials right away. The county magistrate Zheng will definitely be able to help you make the decision!"
Hearing that Sun Sanniang encouraged Zhao Pan'er to sue the officials, Uncle De quickly looked at the weak Zhao Pan'er and said with persuasion and threats:
"Ms. Zhao, do you want this matter to be known to the whole world? Do you want everyone to know that you are an official?"
"do not talk!"
Looking at Uncle De who threatened him verbally, Zhao Paner said sadly:
"You all know that this is what I care about the most, right?"
Seeing that Uncle De was silent, Zhao Pan'er nodded slightly and agreed:
"Okay, I'll accept my fate!"
Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was willing to accept his fate, Uncle De breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took off the baggage on his back, handed it to Zhao Pan'er and said with a smile:
"Ms. Zhao, the master knows that he can't forgive you, so he can only use these eighty taels of gold to express his feelings. The master should also have a jade pendant with you. See if you can return it."
Before Uncle De could finish speaking, Zhao Paner pushed the eighty taels of gold away from her eyes. The gold ingot fell to the ground. She picked up a gold ingot that fell at her feet and said with a sad smile:
"When Ouyang Luo was living in Hangzhou, I bought the property for him, so that he could lose his citizenship and take the examination in Zhejiang and Zhejiang again. He studied hard for three years, and I supported him by selling tea every day for three years. Unfortunately, three
The deep affection I have for many years cannot be compared to these eighty taels of gold. If you want to bribe me with money, you can, but you tell him that eighty taels of gold is not enough. If you want to be admired by me, I will give you five hundred taels of gold in exchange!"
"Five, five hundred taels?"
Seeing Zhao Pan'er with the lion's mouth wide open, Uncle De was shocked and said:
"This is too much!"
Looking at Uncle De, Zhao Paner said decisively:
"As long as the money and goods are cleared, I will break up with him and we will be strangers forever!"
After taking a look at Zhao Pan'er, Uncle De hurriedly collected the gold ingots on the ground, then shouldered the baggage, cupped his hands, and prepared to leave:
"Ms. Zhao, take care!"
After that, he glanced at Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, then pulled back the gold ingot that Zhao Pan'er held in his hand, and then left the tea shop carrying a baggage containing eighty taels of gold. After he left,
Seeing Zhao Pan'er's face as pale as paper, Sun Sanniang couldn't help but worry and said:
"Pan'er, let me go and ask the doctor to take a look at it for you!"
"Okay, thank you Sanniang!"
After taking a look at Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang was about to go to the street to ask the doctor to come and take a look. At this time, looking at Sun Sanniang's leaving back, Zhao Pan'er whispered:
"Sanniang, please close the store!"
"good!"
After Sun Sanniang left, Zhao Paner sat alone on the steps in front of the door, looking at the sparkling Qiantang Lake. The cool wind was blowing, and the sun shone on her face, making her face look even paler. She tried her best to hold her head high,
To prevent the tears from flowing out, Beiqi bit her lower lip hard, unwilling to cry even if blood oozed out. At this time, Yuan Xudong walked out of the room, sat down next to her and said softly:
"I win. According to the agreement, you will be my wife!"
"you"
Zhao Pan'er looked at Yuan Xudong with a serious face and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At this time, instead of comforting her, he said that he had won and that according to the agreement, she would be his wife, so she couldn't help but stare.
She glanced at him, and the tears in her eyes flowed down her flawless face. Looking at Zhao Paner, whose eyes were red and her face was full of tears, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Pan'er, you won't be cheating, will you?"
"You're the one who's being naughty!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was laughing at her, Zhao Paner wiped away her tears and said harshly:
"I haven't lost yet. I'm going to Tokyo to ask Ouyang Xu face to face. Maybe Uncle De has been bribed by someone, or maybe Ouyang Xu has some last resort. Anyway, I can't just listen to Uncle De's words!"
"Zhao Pan'er, do you really love Ouyang Xu so deeply?"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was still unwilling to accept the reality, Yuan Xudong said angrily:
"Do you love Ouyang Xu too much, or are you just unable to accept his betrayal of you?"
"You don't have to worry about me. Who am I? Why should you care about me?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's unkind words, Zhao Pan'er stood up and left, preparing to go back to the house to rest for a while. In her heart, she couldn't accept Ouyang Xu's betrayal, but she also loved Ouyang Xu, but she still had the shadow of Yuan Xudong in her heart.
Even she herself didn't know which one was more important among the three. Looking at Zhao Pan'er who wanted to continue to escape, Yuan Xudong felt angry. He had long regarded Zhao Pan'er as his forbidden love, but now she was still thinking about Ouyang.
Xu, this is something Yuan Xudong cannot accept no matter what. He wants Zhao Paner's pure and pure body, and he also wants her complete heart.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong stood up and chased after her. With a big hand pull, he held the somewhat panicked Zhao Pan'er in his arms and strode towards the bedroom. Zhao Pan'er turned pale and said in shock:
"Xiao, Mr. Xiao, what do you want to do?"
