Chapter 128: The Wife Who Spoiled the Concubine and Killed His Wife (30)
Exorcism, ghost hunting?
Wu looked at his daughter in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.
Wu was also born in a scholarly family, read the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and believed in Confucianism.
Now that I'm old, I don't chant Buddha or sutras like those ordinary women.
Because she doesn't believe in it from the bottom of her bones.
But now, the daughter she cares about the most has become a "magic stick".
Wu somewhat couldn't accept it.
However, Wu didn't be stunned for too long, and nodded slowly: "Okay, only, as long as you live well, nothing else matters!"
What about the gods, at least my daughter is no longer bullied like she used to be.
Moreover, the Wu family also discovered that Tong Chenghei and the Tong family were also shocked by their daughter's "ghost and god methods", otherwise her husband would not let her come on this trip.
Thinking of her husband's ridiculous words, Wu pursed her lips, she really didn't want to say it to hurt her daughter's heart.
She didn't want to say it, but Li Suwan still wanted to know, the mother and daughter exchanged pleasantries, and Li Suwan asked directly: "Mother, did your father order you to come?"
When Li Suwan mentioned the word "father", there was not much fluctuation in her tone, as if the person was not her close relative, but just an insignificant stranger.
Wu heard the coldness in his daughter's words, but he didn't blame his daughter.
Even she was disappointed in her husband.
This person has already gotten into a dead end, saying things that sound reasonable, but are actually crooked, and doing extreme and stubborn things.
And these things, all of them are stabbing the hearts of their families.
Among them, the person who was hurt the most was her poor Su Wan.
Wu is really a well-read and reasonable person, and she will not blindly persuade her daughter to be filial.
Huh, filial piety?
There is a cloud in the "Book of Rites": "What is human righteousness? Father's kindness, son's filial piety, brother's kindness, brother's kindness, husband's righteousness, women's listening, long-term favor, young shun, gentleman's benevolence, and courtier's loyalty." β
See, the sages and sages have made a clear explanation of the rules and etiquette, that is, the father is loving, the children are filial, the elder brother is friendly, the younger brother is respectful, the husband is righteous, the wife is obedient, the venerable is kind, the young are obedient, the monarch is benevolent, and the courtiers are loyal!
All respects and humilities are conditional, and those relationships have a cause and effect.
It is hateful that there are some selfish and shameless people in the world who deliberately exaggerate one side and ignore the other for their own interests.
It only demands obligations from others, but does not give them rights.
What kind of robber doctrine is this?
Wu doesn't know what a double standard is, but he also feels that even if he treats his own children, he must pay attention to fairness.
If parents are not loving, how can they force their children to be filial?
As an elder, what right do you have to blame your children?
"Your father...... Alas, I really don't want to mention him. β
Wu sighed, his face full of helplessness, "Su Wan, no matter what he says, you don't have to care, let alone -"
Li Suwan interrupted her mother's words, "Does the father have something to admonish his daughter?"
Li Suwan deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "admonishment", and the mockery in her tone should not be too obvious.
Of course, Wu heard that her daughter's words were prickly, and she didn't want to say it, but it can be seen that her daughter insisted so much that she still said her husband's words.
Of course, when Wu paraphrased, he tried to simplify and beautify as much as possible, trying to make those bastard words sound less angry: "You, your father's meaning, family and everything is prosperous! Yes, there are some things, don't worry too much!"
Wu said it tactfully, but Li Suwan, who knew her father's temperament well, understood it: "Mother, does my father think that I shouldn't show my head and sue my son?"
Li Suwan had already begun to imagine her father's sour and stubborn appearance in her mind, and learned his tone, and said slowly: "To be a woman, to be dignified and demure, to show her head and go to court is simply not to abide by women's morals;"
"To be a wife to be virtuous and gentle, to disobey her husband and to take care of her husband's family is simply unvirtuous;"
"As a mother, when you are kind and generous, suing your concubine and publicizing your family's ugliness is simply unkind!"
Wu: ......
Not to mention, when I was at home, my husband made this statement.
is full of benevolence and morality, but in fact it is selfish and cold.
"Mother, before my father said this, Tong Chenghei should have sent someone to our house, right?"
Li Suwan really saw through those people, and she also knew the reason why Tong Chengsi did this.
It's very simple, Tong Zhongsheng is still being detained by Jingzhao Mansion Yin.
The forces of all parties in the court finally caught the handle of the Tong family and were preparing to use this matter to achieve their own goals.
And the emperor rarely did not favor the Tong family, and the Tong family suddenly became the target of public criticism.
At this juncture, even if Tong Chengsi personally went to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for someone, Jingzhao Mansion Yin would not hand over Tong Zhongsheng.
The reasons are ready-made: if the plaintiff does not withdraw the lawsuit, the case will continue to be heard. And Tong Zhongsheng, as the defendant, naturally cannot be released home.
Jingzhao Mansion Yin did not throw Tong Zhongsheng directly into the prison, but left people in the back office, which was already giving the Tong family face, and with the goodwill of "taking care of the young"!
Anyway, Li Suwan can imagine that if Tong Chengsi really goes, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion can scare him so much that he has nothing to say.
Tong Chengsi is not a fool, he also thought of this, he knew that this matter would eventually fall on Li Suwan, but he didn't want to bow to Li Suwan, so he came to save the country and lure Li's father to come forward.
That's right, it's a lure!
Li Suwan saw that the Wu family nodded silently, knowing that Tong Chengsi had indeed sent someone to find Li's father, the smile on her face became more and more cold: "What benefits did Tong Chengsi promise his father?"
These words are quite ugly, and they are even a little heart-wrenching, so they almost directly said that Father Li sold his daughter for glory.
Wu also felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to help her husband defend himself, because he did sell his daughter, "Your father wrote a book that elaborated on his ideas, and the bookstore felt ridiculous and refused to helpβ"
Without waiting for Wu's words to finish, Li Suwan sneered and nodded: "Tong Chengsi is willing to pay money to hire someone to copy the book for his father, and promise to spread this book to the world?!"
What Father Li wants most is fame and fortune.
He wants people to know that he is by no means an unscrupulous descendant of the Li family, but a great hero who can glorify his ancestors.
It's a pity that his officialdom is unhappy, even if he gets a five-grade official position by selling his daughter, he has no real power, at most he has a good reputation.
If you can't be an official, then learn from your ancestors and write a book.
But his rotten remarks have no market at all in the Great Liang Dynasty, and even those who read the books feel that they are too extreme and one-sided.
If you follow his rules, the etiquette will eventually be twisted into a man-eating monster!
No one touts, no one scrambles to copy by hand, so you have to hire someone to do it yourself, and all of this requires money.
I have to say that Tong Chengsi is really smart, and when he wants to please someone, he can always scratch that person's itch......
