"Six and six six!"

"Open big... His mother, I lost again!"

The casino is in a mess, the winner laughs, and the loser scolds.

Song Ling sat upright at a gambling table, staring at the dice cup in the dealer's hand with his eyes, as if he was calm, but in fact he knew that a layer of sweat had appeared on his back, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were shaking slightly. He just pressed the last penny in, and if he still lost, he would never have enough pocket money this month.

"open!"

"One, two, five, small!"

Three dices as big as a thumb were suddenly exposed in front of him, motionless, as if mocking his rapid beating heart.

He lost, and lost all the monthly rate given to him by his elder brother yesterday.

Song Ling fell down and leaned on the back of the chair, watching others take away his money.

He was unwilling to give up, he...

"Song Ling quickly left, your elder brother is here!" A sudden quiet in the casino. Before Song Ling could notice it, a person next to him quickly pushed his shoulder and reminded him.

With the habit over the years, Song Ling had developed the instinct to run away when he heard his elder brother's name. He didn't look back and looked up. He got up and hid in the casino, preparing to hide in a crowded place, and then secretly turned back and slipped away. Unfortunately, the other party was obviously familiar with his routine. As soon as Song Ling got up, his wrist was grabbed by a big hand. Without saying a word, he pulled him out.

"Brother, don't get me wrong. I came just now and I haven't had time to play!" Song Ling couldn't escape, so he had to haha.

Song Mo was dressed in gray and his face turned pale, and he didn't listen to his explanation at all.

Looking at the blue and gray figures walking away, the people watching the fun in the casino couldn't help but start muttering.

"Look, these two brothers are exactly the same. Why is Song's calm and capable boss who manages the house's business every year? Song's second brother can only eat, drink, whore and gambling?"

"If you ask me who will I ask, tsk tsk, but Song Lao Er really enjoys his elder brother's fortune. He is very delicious and has good food and drink, even women..."

"What are they?"

"You don't know? Thinking of Song Ling back then..."

The whispers of the two were quickly submerged in the clamor that resurrected the surroundings.

Nanyang Town is more than 20 miles away from Yunping Town where the Song family is located. After the mule cart drives out of Nanyang Town, there are continuous villages and crops on both sides of the dirt road. Song Mo sat in the cart and looked out the window. When the mule cart arrives, he ordered the servant to stop, jump down first, take the whip from the servant's hand, and then said to Song Ling coldly: "Follow me."

When Song Ling saw his elder brother holding the whip, his face turned pale. He didn't want to go, but he didn't dare.

After entering the forest, Song Ling was secretly looking at which tree was suitable for him to hide. The wind blew in his ears, and then a sensation of pain came from his shoulders. He shouted and jumped forward. Song Mo followed closely and whipped a whip on his back: "How many times have I said I won't let you gamble! I dare to run to such a far place to block it. I think you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

"Brother, I didn't gamble, I really didn't gamble!" Song Ling ran away with his head in his arms, unable to escape, turned around and knelt in front of Song Mo, hugging his thighs and begging for mercy: "Brother, brother, stop beating, I swear this is the last time, and I will never gamble again in the future! Brother!"

Song Mo replenished two more whips. When he stopped, his hand holding the whip made a crack.

This is his second brother of his mother and his parents died early and they depended on each other. When he was a child, the second brother was obedient and sensible, but since he took over the business in the shop and went out early and returned late, the second brother was taken a wrong way by a group of friends, wandering in the kilns and entering the casino, and even doing such a scandal. He beat him and scolded him, punished him to kneel on the ancestral hall, and gave him a monthly basis according to the number of monthly fees, but he didn't give him a single cent more, but his second brother was still disobedient and tried his best to sneak out and hang out. What can he do? Beat him to death?

He only regretted that he was careless and let his second brother be deceived by those bastards!

"Get up, Song Ling, remember, let me find out again, I will discount your legs. Do you see if I can do it?" Song Mo kicked away the man who was begging for mercy with no hope, and left angrily.

As if the rest of his life, Song Ling was weak all over. He knelt on the spot and relaxed for a while, smiled, and got up and ran towards the mule cart. The eldest brother was soft-hearted. Every time he pretended to be pitiful and begged for mercy, the eldest brother could not fight. They were twins, and being disciplined by the eldest brother all day long was really cowardly. However, the eldest brother was able to do it. Now the money in the family was earned by the eldest brother, so he had nothing to complain about when he spent his eldest brother's money.

Back in the mule cart, Song Ling was slanderous and kind to coax people. Song Moming knew that what he said was not trustworthy at all, but he was a brother. He couldn't hold on for too long. He punched him hard and made him shut up and not disturb him thinking about things.

When Song Ling saw that it was good, he pulled open the curtains and looked out, looking around.

It happened that the mule cart passed by a small village. There were two crabapple trees planted at the door of someone's house. Pink and white crabapple trees bloomed, like clouds and brocade. Under the flower tree, three boys of different heights squatted around there, not knowing what they were playing with. When Song Ling looked over, a girl in a cloth happened to come out. Above the faded green skirt was a small waist that could be held with both hands, and a dark yellow short shirt wrapped around a pair of big trembling with her footsteps. Song Ling was stunned and couldn't help but look at the girl's face. What caught her eye was a lotus face that was even more delicate than the crabapple.

"parking!"

Seeing that the carriage was about to drive past the girl's door, Song Ling shouted anxiously, pulling the man who was reading a book beside him, "Brother, look, look!"

Song Mo frowned and looked out along his second brother's fingers. He was stunned when he saw it.

A grand mule cart suddenly stopped at the door, and there was a clear voice of a man. The girl looked up in confusion and saw an extremely handsome man staring at him at the window, looking at him, and the man smiled. The girl's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she didn't bother to ask her brothers to go back to the house, so she turned around and ran into the house.

The beauty ran away, and Song Ling couldn't help but get out of the car and look for someone.

Song Mo's face had long since become cold. While instructing the servant to continue on the road, he stared at Song Ling tightly, as if he wanted to see through his worries: "Second brother, I warn you that if you sneak into the kiln to hang out with me, I can turn a blind eye, but if you do evil deeds that humiliate the good girl again, I will never be ruthless!"

Song Ling was still immersed in the beauty of the girl and couldn't extricate herself. Suddenly, he heard the elder brother's severe admonition and suddenly came back to his senses. He looked back and looked back. He made up his mind on the spot and said to Song Mo with a firm look: "Brother, I want to marry that girl. As long as the elder brother helps me marry her, I will not prostitute or gamble in the future, and I will only live a good life with her. I will do whatever my brother asks me to do!" Such a fairy-like woman is not comparable to those vulgar fans in the kiln that have been ridden by many people. With her waiting for him at home every night, he is willing to go to find the woman next to me?

Song Mo was very shocked.

When he was young, he was busy doing business and asked his second brother if he wanted to get married. The second brother thought that women were in charge of him and said he didn't want anything. Later, that incident happened, let alone the second brother, even the matchmakers who came to propose marriage to him were gone. The two brothers suddenly changed from the good son-in-law in the eyes of others to the bad guys who were ignored. Song Mo knew his second brother's temperament. In order to avoid a girl's tragedy, he had no idea of ​​getting married and wanted to find a good marriage for his second brother...

Unexpectedly, my second brother, who had been refusing to marry, took the initiative to ask him to make the decision!

The girl just now was indeed the best one he had ever seen.

My second brother is romantic and loves colors. Perhaps, if he gets such a beautiful wife, can he really turn back and become a new person in the future?

After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and said, "If you want to marry, they may not be able to like you. Besides, if you continue to gamble and prostitution in the future, I will make the decision for you, wouldn't it harm other girls for the rest of their lives?"

"Brother!" Song Ling knelt down and sweared to the sky: "Brother, my second brother is serious this time. As long as I help me match this marriage, I will definitely turn back to the right. If there is a lie, I will punish me for thunder..."

"Shut up!" Song Mo kicked over, "Is it worth it for a woman?"

"Brother, second brother, please help me this time!" Song Ling had long been used to being beaten, so he crawled back and begged again.

Looking at the face exactly like him and listening to his call to his elder brother, Song Mo pondered for a while and nodded.

When she returned to the town, Song Mo sent someone to inquire about the girl's family.

News soon came.

The girl's surname is Cheng, and her biological mother died early. Her biological father married a second wife. Since then, she has three younger brothers. Haitang has become a poor woman whose father does not love her stepmother. However, Haitang has a gentle temperament and a good reputation in the village. Her stepmother dares not bully her too much. She just wants to send her to a wealthy family as a concubine and earn a good gift. Now Haitang is sixteen years old. Because of her stepmother's deliberate spread, she is famous. It is because Haitang refuses to follow her and insists on not being a concubine. She avoids that kind of fate. However, her family is poor and wealthy families look down on her. Most people want to marry her as a real wife. Her parents dislike not enough brides, so they keep dragging her and wait for someone to pay a big price to marry her.

Song Mo was very satisfied with the girl, but he still had to ask whether he disliked the girl's origins if he was his second brother.

"I married her, no matter what kind of virtue her parents have. Brother, you can give as much as they want. Anyway, our family has money, so it's nothing to pay a 180 tael of bride price! Brother, don't be reluctant to give up the money!" Song Ling leaned on the lounge chair under the tree, swaying while looking up at him with concern.

Song Mo glared at him and went out to make arrangements.

The next day, the matchmaker walked up to the Cheng family.

Since ancient times, the matchmaker has relied on a clever mouth to support himself. Even if he is a blind and lame person, he can still praise a flower if he puts it in the matchmaker's mouth.

When Haitang's parents heard that the rich man in the neighboring town wanted to marry Haitang as the main house, they were so happy that they couldn't stop. Before the matchmaker started praising the man, they pulled the matchmaker to ask, hoping to find out all the eighteen generations of the Song family's ancestors clearly. Song Mo promised the matchmaker a generous reward, so the matchmaker naturally only chose nice words. The two sides had a great conversation, and finally agreed that the Song family would pay a gift of 100 taels of gold, and the Cheng family would marry their daughter.

When the matchmaker came to the house, Haitang and a girl had to avoid it. After the matchmaker left, Dad Cheng happily went to talk to his daughter.

"Dad, since it's a rich family in the town, how can you know our family?" Haitang lowered her head, feeling happy and nervous.

This girl is so good, and now she has brought him such wealth. Dad Cheng is very kind. When his daughter asked him, she replied as the matchmaker said: "You are destined to be Mr. Song. A few days ago, his mule cart passed by our door. Mr. Song saw you and fell in love with you all at once. He threatened to marry you. How about it, do you have an impression of Haitang? I heard that the matchmaker praised Mr. Song as a god, and I don't know whether it is true or not."

It turned out to be that person...

Thinking of the man's handsome face, Haitang suddenly turned red and lowered her head and refused to speak.

Old Dad Cheng was happy, "It seems that what the matchmaker said is true, Haitang, are you satisfied this time?"

Haitang ran shyly back to his little house, not daring to ask for any word.

Mr. Cheng was in a happy mood during the happy events. After talking to his daughter, he went out to visit the family and talked to others about his daughter's marriage. As he was connected, he met a villager who had relatives in Yunping Town. When the man heard this, he laughed at him for being deceived and was hiding from the marriage, and he was still a favorite.

Mr. Cheng was not happy to listen, so he pulled someone and insisted that the other party make it clear.

The villagers were extremely disliked by Mr. Cheng. Most people marry their daughters, and if someone comes to propose marriage, their parents would never just listen to the matchmaker's words. They would go to the man's side to inquire in private and see with their own eyes. How could the Cheng family be like this? It's not time to say that, but they are poor as a good girl, Haitang, so they had to tell the truth, hoping that Mr. Cheng would withdraw from the marriage.

"You don't know that the eldest son of the Song family and the second son are twins, and they look exactly the same. I'm afraid even parents can't tell the difference. The eldest son of the Song family is calm and capable, and everyone in the town praises him. But the second son of the Song family is a lazy and lazy man who eats and eats, drinks, and gambling. It's nothing but this. Which rich man is not romantic? But the bad thing is the appearance of the two brothers."

"Have you heard of Zhang Bu in the town? He has a daughter named Ruyu. Although it is not as beautiful as the begonia, it is also a delicate flower. How many people beg for marriage? But Ruyu fell in love with the eldest son of the Song family and was determined to marry him. Alas, the man Song didn't know whether he had a high vision or was really busy with business. Ruyu refused Ruyu's show of kindness. Ruyu still thought about Boss Song. Later, she took advantage of the loophole by Song and pretended to be Boss Song and tricked the girl out. Afterwards, Ruyu happily went to find Boss Song, but Boss Song was cold to her. Ruyu was not a fool. Then she realized it. She hanged herself when she got home."

"Toufu Zhang died of his daughter. She took a kitchen knife to settle the score with Song Laoer, and finally got into the court. Song Laoer insisted that Ruyu had fallen in love with her, and when she saw that his elder brother didn't like her, she took the initiative to hook up with him. Alas, even if everyone knew this kind of thing, there was no evidence. The county magistrate could not convict Song Laoer. After all, Ruyu* was not dead that day and was very happy, which was enough to prove that Song Laoer did not force her and the case was left unresolved. Song Laoer knew his younger brother's temperament, so he beat Song Laoer hard after he went back. He heard that he had not been able to get off the kang for a whole month, and then went to the Zhang family to apologize. After being poured into Tofu Zhang a bucket of chicken blood."

Dad Cheng was stunned when he heard this.

The villagers continued to advise him: "Old Cheng, since this incident happened, Song Lao Er has been notorious. He cheated his daughter and his elder brother. No one dared to marry his daughter to Song Lao Da again, for fear of being ruined by Song Lao Er's false name. Think about it, even if Song Lao Er really learned well and didn't get involved in his sister-in-law, will others believe it? So whoever married his daughter to Song Lao Da, his daughter's reputation was damaged and his parents' faces were not good-looking, but if they directly married her daughter to Song Lao Er and other beasts, they would be even more scolded! Think about it carefully, don't ruin your reputation and begonia for that little money!"

The villagers left after saying that, only Dad Cheng was left on the spot.

In the evening, Mr. Cheng discussed with his wife with a frown: "Forget it, like the Song family, let's change another family. It doesn't matter if you have less betrothal gifts. We can't bear the infamy of selling women for honor!"

"Change another family? Who can give me a betrothal gift of 100 taels of silver? Find one for me?" His wife screamed on the spot, lit up her arm and cursed: "Now I'm afraid that someone will be talking about selling her daughter. Why were you not afraid when you forced Haitang to be a concubine? Didn't it just that Mr. Song did the wrong thing? But they might have already made a correction. Besides, Mr. Song married Mr. Song, and Mr. Song would not bully her. Why did she worry about Qingqi? What are you suffering from? "

Dad Cheng said depressedly: "I know Mr. Song is good, but Mr. Song Er..."

"What's wrong with Mr. Song? Which man is rich and not romantic?"

"Can……"

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the man was still hesitating, his wife rushed into his arms and started crying, "Old man, don't just think about your daughter, but there are three sons waiting for you to marry her daughter! There are no 100 and 200 taels now, who will marry her daughter? The three sons are only 60 taels, and they will have to build a house for them in the future. Where do you ask me to find so much money... If it weren't for the flesh and blood of your Cheng family, why should I pay attention to Haitang's betrothal gift? She is a sister, and she will suffer some grievances for the three younger brothers... Woo, I deserve it, why did I give birth to so many sons? If I had known that I had no money to support her, I would rather die as soon as I was born..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'll marry Haitang!" Dad Cheng was upset by her crying, and suddenly pushed the person away, staring at him.

His wife wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. She raised her sleeves and pretended to wipe her tears, "Since you agreed, we should do the process we should leave earlier, just pretend that we didn't know about it. In the future, it can be said that the Song family deceived her relatives. Because we received the gift, our Cheng family wanted to regret the marriage, but the Song family refused. This way, our reputation would be nice. By the way, don't let Haitang know about this, so that she will not be alive again. Let her stay in the house to prepare her wedding dress and don't go out."

Mr. Cheng thought about it and thought that his wife's words made sense. He locked Haitang in the house the next day and went to discuss with the matchmaker, hoping that the Song family would get hired soon.

Song Ling urged Song Mo to set the wedding date in May, after the Dragon Boat Festival.

Mr. Cheng hid his daughter so much that he told Haitang that his son-in-law was named Song Ling and there was a big brother on it, and he didn't even mention that the Song family brothers were twins. Although Haitang was interested in asking something else, he didn't ask because of his daughter's face, so he didn't ask.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Haitang got married.

Brother Haitang was reluctant to let his sister get married, so he ran to talk to her. As he spoke, he accidentally let out a few gossips and said something he had heard outside.

In fact, he is a child, but he can tell what is going on. Just remember that his brother-in-law bullied a girl and forced her to death.
To be continued...
