Chapter 3: Those Antecedents and Consequences

Speaking of the Song family, there are actually few people who don't know about the eight villages in ten miles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation of the Song family is indeed a little different from that of ordinary farmers.

Let's talk about Mr. Song first, Mr. Song has a reputation for showing talent, and this alone distinguishes him from ordinary farmers. It is precisely because of this that after he had grandchildren, he was honored by the villagers as Old Man Song. Even if he has not been able to go further in his life, but the difference is that he has a meritorious reputation, the Song family, who was originally just an ordinary farmer, has been able to be called a cultivator and heirloom since him.

It's a pity that Mr. Song has worked hard in reading, but he is a little thinner in terms of heirs, and he has only got one seedling in his life. That is, Song Yi's father, Song Baishan's father.

Song Baishan is different from his father, Old Man Song, but he is not good at reading, but he is very good at giving birth to a son.

So when it came to the grandchildren of Old Man Song, there were five men and one woman with six bloodlines.

Among them, there is only one Song Sanlang and Song Yi, who is the original partner. As for why the original match is ranked third, there is another old reason here.

It is said that Song Baishan married his wife Cui Shi back then, and Cui's wife was married, but unfortunately he married the Song family for six years, but he failed to come out for a long time. This matter was still very new in Qingshan Village at that time, most of the peasant families were **** only women, because the peasants were mostly poor, and it was difficult to marry a mother-in-law, so where could they afford to hire a second?

But childlessness is a big deal, and Song Baishan is an only son, with this reason ahead, it is reasonable for Mrs. Song to grit her teeth and marry a second daughter-in-law for her son.

Although it is said to be a flat wife, but the marriage of this dynasty is a system of multiple concubines, and there is no saying that two wives are combined, so the flat wife is just a good name, and when the Cui family was still alive, the Yu family was actually a concubine.

When Yu was still in the boudoir, he had a bitter personality, a bad reputation, and his mother's family was very poor, so he was hired by Mrs. Song to be a young man for five taels of silver. But although the Yu family has thousands of bad, there is one good, she can give birth!

When she first came to the Song family, Yu was diagnosed as pregnant after only 30 days, and then gave birth to Song Dalang early when she was eight months old, and she became a man in one fell swoop, which established her status in the Song family. After the New Year, Song Dalang was less than a year old, and Yu was diagnosed with pregnancy again, this time she lived up to expectations, and after October, she got a man again and gave birth to Song Erlang.

gave birth to two male babies in three years, and since then, the Yu family has completely overwhelmed the original Cui family in the limelight of the Song family.

After another two years, Yu became pregnant again, and Cui finally miraculously conceived a child. This time, the Song family added two pregnant women at the same time, but the results were different. When Yu was more than five months pregnant, her baby actually fell!

The Yu family claimed that it was the Cui family who harmed her, but the Cui family was also pregnant at that time, and they were worried about the child in her belly, and no one in the entire Song family could do anything to her. Cui's pregnancy in October, although she was tormented by the charge of "harming Yu's miscarriage" and her body was weak, she still gave birth to Song Sanlang like a desperate person.

A woman is strong when she is a mother, and after giving birth to Song Saburo, Cui's became stubborn.

She carefully taught Song Sanlang, worked hard to do embroidery work for silver, and even asked for the consent of Old Man Song and sent Song Sanlang to study in school!

And Song Saburo is also a competitive person, he was enlightened at the age of five, and obtained the qualification of a child at the age of eleven, and since then he has been worth a different amount and has become famous in these ten miles and eight towns. In another year, Mrs. Song was seriously ill, and before she died, she made the decision to marry Song Sanlang. It is the eldest daughter of Hu Xiucai's family in the neighboring village, and she is also the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Song's mother's house!

After another half a month, Mrs. Song left for the west, and Song Sanlang kept filial piety for a year. A year later, Song Saburo became filial. The gentleman of the village school recommended him to take the Xiucai exam. By this time, Song Saburo was only thirteen years old, and if he was admitted, he would be a real teenager who became famous and could be called a prodigy.

However, it is a pity that not long before the start of the hospital examination that year, Cui, who had been suffering for many years, followed closely behind Mrs. Song and fell seriously ill. She had been sick for many years, and once she broke out, she didn't even drag it out for three days, and she coughed up blood and died.

At that time, Song Saburo was so sad that he didn't mention it, only saying that Cui's death and Song Saburo had to keep filial piety for another three years, and he naturally couldn't pass the college exam.

failed to pass the college exam, and Song Saburo was just a boy in white, and he still had no fame. Three years have passed, and when he was 16 years old, he was about to take the college examination again, but when he was hunting in the mountains and raising money for the examination, he was chased by wolves and fell into the Sushui River, broke his right leg, not to mention, and accumulated cold into his body, and was sick and bedridden.

The doctor diagnosed that Song Saburo would be disabled for life nine times out of ten.

The rule of this dynasty is that those with disabilities are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations. It's okay now, although Song Sanlang has no mother, he can study and compete by himself, and he can be regarded as a young and promising son, and his daughter's family will not worry about having a good future with him. But he broke his leg at a critical moment, so that not to mention the hopelessness of the imperial examination, even his future livelihood will be difficult!

He has no permanent property, and there is a powerful stepmother in the family, in this case, isn't he almost like being abolished?

The people in the village all sighed, and even rumors quietly spread, only saying that Song Sanlang's life was not good, and he had defeated his grandmother and mother, and now even his own imperial examination luck has been given. No matter how talented he is, what if his fate is not good, everything is in vain!

So there was the Hu family's retreat, the old man Song coerced his kindness, Jiang Lao Erzhongyi, and Jiang Huijia married into the Song family.

These twists and turns, entangled, when I listened to it at the time, Jiang Huijia was speechless for a long time. This story is bloody, it is much more exciting than she originally imagined, and with additional changes, it may be able to compete with TVB's eight-o'clock file.

It's no wonder that the Hu family wants to quit their relatives, and the original Jiang Huijia will not marry.

Song Sanlang's situation is like a super pit, and whoever jumps is unlucky. If this is a real ancient weak woman jumping down, who can easily climb out?

Of course, in today's Jiang Huijia's view, although this pit is deep, it is not unfillable.

There are two ways to solve such predicaments, one is "rich" and the other is "separating the family".

Let's talk about "money" first, Jiang Huijia was born in the Jiang family, a small merchant in the town, the Jiang family opened a large grocery store in the town, and there were 100 acres of fertile land, compared with the farmers in the village, it can be called a lot of family assets.

Jiang Lao Er's marriage to his daughter was originally to repay his kindness. He forced his daughter to marry into such a big pit, on the one hand, he refused to change his mind, he was cruel to his daughter, but on the other hand, he was also deeply guilty of his daughter. Therefore, he is very willing to marry.

Not to mention the large pieces of furniture, because she married in a hurry, Jiang Huijia's dowry only has two chests of drawers and two boxwood boxes, and nothing else. But others, such as cloth and clothing, makeup and jewelry, and even daily necessities, are full of eight items. Compared with most rural families marrying daughters, Jiang Lao's second marriage can be called bold.

There are also fifty taels of silver in the box on the bright side, and ten acres of fertile land, so Jiang Huijia got married, and this dowry alone can make her waist straight.

What's more, Mrs. Jiang privately stuffed Jiang Huijia with one hundred taels of private silver, in general, although Jiang Huijia married a little miserably, as long as she is willing to work hard, she may not be able to live a good life.

What really embarrassed Jiang Huijia was the separation. Only when the family is separated can you really be the master of the house and really live your life. As for whether men are useful or not, in Jiang Huijia's opinion, it doesn't matter at all. Even selfishly, Song Saburo is useless, it's better for Jiang Huijia!

After all, as long as Song Saburo has been "abolished" and occupies a place there, then Jiang Huijia can not only bear the name of being married, but also have no worries about marrying. On the other hand, you don't need to fulfill the reality of husband and wife with a "waste husband", and you can be the master of the house freely.

Furthermore, in ancient times, men could legally take concubines. If Song Sanlang is not "abolished", if he succeeds in the scientific examination in the future and soars, he is ready to "legally" add a few concubines in the backyard, what will Jiang Huijia do? Therefore, it is better for this husband to be a "waste" from the beginning, which completely exempts her from worries.

Of course, Jiang Huijia initially thought very well, but what she didn't expect was that people's hearts are flesh and blood.

Her previous selfish thoughts were nothing in the face of an unpleasant stranger. After all, Song Sanlang's leg injury was not caused by her, nor did she diagnose that people would be disabled for life. At most, she secretly thinks in her heart that it's good that people are a "waste person", at most she is not kind, but she is not bad.

However, this mentality of not caring about oneself was faintly shaken after several contacts with Song Yi.

It's not that Jiang Huijia likes Song Yi because of this, but Song Yi is a person, and his own personality charm is really difficult for people to be indifferent to him.

For example, the day of the wedding.

At the beginning, the Jiang family thought like this: Song Yi must not be able to come to greet his relatives in person because of his leg injury.

And Jiang's second wife, Liu, also comforted her daughter like this: "The son-in-law is inconvenient, maybe you have to replace the rooster when you visit the church, you must not be dissatisfied because of this." Live your life well, care more about your son-in-law's body, he is a scholar, and he will thank you for your good ......"

Nowadays, there is a custom of rooster worship, which refers to some special circumstances, such as the man is no longer alive, or the groom is far away and cannot arrive at the wedding in time, or the groom is sick and physically inconvenient, etc., in short, in the case that the groom is unable to attend the wedding, the man's parent often makes the bride hold the rooster in his arms, replace the groom with the rooster, and marry the bride in the church.

Such a custom is undoubtedly unfair to the bride, but Song Sanlang's situation is there, and since Jiang Lao and his wife are going to marry a daughter, they are naturally mentally prepared for this.

However, no one expected that on the day of the wedding between the two parties, Song Sanlang, who was seriously ill and had difficulty moving, came to greet him in person!
