168, old companion
Second Master Chang felt that he had lost face, but he didn't think that it was the fault of his adopted son who didn't teach him, and blamed all his dissatisfaction on the new second wife. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info thinks that she is a mother-in-law and harshly criticizes her son-in-law. plus a group of concubines with their own thoughts fanning the flames. Since then, the husband and wife have been in prison.
Although Guan Ju's things were all bought by Cheng Linghui, she couldn't remember what they were. However, Xiao Guan Ju took the two mothers-in-law to check it and made a list. Cheng Linghui has seen it, Chang Erye's two concubines really deserve to have spent money, and they took all valuable things. All in all, it was at least three thousand taels of silver.
Three thousand taels of silver was really nothing when Chang Er Ye was prosperous in the past. But now if he is allowed to take it out, it will really be difficult for a strong man.
Back then, Chang Jiwen sold grain at a low price in Kaizhou Mansion. The two of them were ostracized and could hardly do it. If it weren't for Uncle Chang and Second Master Chang's brothers to lend a hand, I don't know what the consequences would be.
Now, although Cheng Linghui has lost some money, the meat is rotten in the pot. As the old saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. When Second Master Chang asked Cheng Linghui, Cheng Linghui was also vague. However, these two concubines could not tolerate such behavior.
It doesn't matter how Uncle Chang and Cheng Linghui are. Chang Erye made a quick decision, bought a house for the two of them in the countryside, and separated the two.
When he was still in the provincial capital, Second Master Chang sold his subordinates and aunts and concubines who had no children. Now the rest have children and daughters. The Chang family's benevolent family did not sell the aunt who gave birth to a child. However, there are too many people in the family. Especially when there are more women, there are also many rights and wrongs. Second Master Chang is really annoying. took the opportunity to send all the few remaining subordinates in the family. In the future, you must do everything yourself and do it yourself. If you don't want to stay, you can leave.
The young aunts who couldn't stand the hardships left their children and walked away several times. There are three older ones left, and the big girl who has opened her face next to the new second grandmother. Not counting the two concubines who were separated, there are still seven sons and nine daughters left in the family. plus Chang Zhiyu in the courtyard, and a maiden nephew and two maiden nieces of the new second grandmother, a full twenty children. The courage on Chang Erye's shoulders is still not light.
As mentioned earlier, this new second grandmother is actually a little more knowledgeable than Aunt Mei, and her temperament is not much stronger than Aunt Mei. If Aunt Mei is in charge, she has been born in a family since she was a child, knows how to be diligent and thrifty, and she herself suffers. Even if Second Master Chang is down now, that life is very good. After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the second master Chang is now less than enough.
It's just that the new second grandmother hasn't suffered hardship. She is partial not only to her son, but also to her own nephews and nieces. She is used to being extravagant again, and the family's money is becoming more and more stretched. Even those concubines and concubines are not as good as the descendants of the family in the past.
Second Master Chang is willing to work hard to keep the bloodline for her mother's family, which is already benevolent and righteous. Seeing this scene now, even if he doesn't say anything about the man, he will inevitably resentment in his heart. It's okay for Chang Zhifang, after all, his son doesn't look good at the new second grandmother's maiden nephew.
However, the new second grandmother is a person who can't see things, and she doesn't reflect on her own behavior, but thinks that Aunt Mei provoked it, and she blames Chang Erye for being unkind. She didn't want to think about it, Aunt Mei had to have that kind of heart, and she could still give up the position of a grandmother in the main house?
In short, the relationship between Chang Erye and his wife is getting worse and worse. Later, Chang Erye simply lived in a side courtyard and did not go back. Out of sight, out of mind.
The new second grandmother is not like Aunt Mei, she is a gourd without a mouth, and she will make herself when she encounters trouble. She thinks she has a little more knowledge than the country woman, and when she saw that the second master was not going back, and the second master was not at home, she couldn't get along with Aunt Mei a few times.
Aunt Mei's health has improved in the past few years, but after all, she is a little old, and her heart is small, and she can't stand it when she has a bad pregnancy. The new second grandmother came to bully her again. Chang Zhiyu is weak and can't protect his mother. Within a few days, she was sick again.
If this was the case before, Second Master Chang would not only not feel sorry for her, but would hate her hypocrisy. But now it's different. People say that young couples come to accompany each other, and Chang Erye returned to his heart. Look at Aunt Mei again, although she is old, she is a heart-warming person. Seeing that she was sick was more distressing than being sick.
Ask the doctor to take the medicine and do everything yourself.
Aunt Mei has been with Chang Erye for half her life, and she has never been treated by him so intimately. Needless to say, I was moved. I just feel that I finally raised my eyebrows in front of people. The disease will heal quickly.
This made the new second grandmother very angry. came and went, and also made sickness. She was originally a squeamish and arrogant person, even if she was a little wife before, she had never been excluded like this, and this disease was very dangerous. He died a few days later.
After the funeral of the new second grandmother, Chang Erye naturally took Aunt Mei back to be the main grandmother.
This time is different from before. With Chang Erye supporting her, those aunts didn't dare to turn the sky upside down. Although she saw Chang Erye occasionally going to her aunt's house, she was still uncomfortable. But people have experienced a lot, and no matter how stupid they are, they can see it.
It's just that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change. Chang Er's grandmother's temperament can't be changed in this life. Over the years, their mother and son have been cared for thanks to Grandma Chang. Therefore, she has no reason to be awkward with Grandma Chang. However, Cheng Linghui, who was close at hand, was as cold as ice.
When she was an aunt, she didn't pay attention to Cheng Linghui, and now she doesn't get along. The first thing I did when I returned to the main courtyard was to bring back my aunt who was still living in Cheng Linghui's house. Let the people take two letters of silver, saying that they are returning the things stolen by the two concubines before.
Cheng Linghui looked at the two silver envelopes that Chang Zhizhou brought back, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Two letters of silver were only a hundred taels, but I lost three thousand taels of silver. This second sister-in-law is really speechless.
The matter of the grain store in Kaizhou Mansion was all for Geng Wanqiu at the beginning. Later, the second master came back, and he had nothing to do, so he gradually took over. After all, the three brothers are the major shareholders of the grain bank. Cheng Linghui is happy to be idle, only farming at home and taking care of the children, and supporting the two old people, her grandmother and mother.
Now that there are more mountain chiefs and teachers, the empty heart is only slightly full.
Chang Zhizhou was very competitive, and he was admitted to Tongsheng at one time. For this reason, Cheng Linghui specially set up a banquet in the newly built school hall and invited the whole village to come and eat. By the way, we celebrate the inauguration of the new school.
This school, Chang Zhizhou can't catch up with it. He is now a child, and he still has to go to school in Gusu Academy. But he is not lightly resentful.
The school was completed, and the children in the village naturally enrolled in the nearest school. It turns out that because Gusu Academy is too far away, most children have to wait until after the age of ten to study, and Zhichutang is in the village, so children can naturally go to school early. The name of the mountain chief is well known from far and near.
Therefore, on the first day of school, the children of all sizes in Chengjiazhuang packed the school.
In the past, when I went to school, I brought my own desks, chairs and benches. The mountain grew old, and just arranging all kinds of tables and stools made him so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist at the end of the day. A large group of children are mixed together, and it is inevitable that there will be naughty. It's really a scoop up by pressing a gourd.
When the master saw this scene, she went to help early the next morning, and every time it was noon, she came to call Cheng Linghui to hurry over. Those leather monkeys are simply turning the rhythm upside down. The mountain chief had never seen such a stubborn student in his life, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. It's almost high.
Cheng Linghui hurried over, and before she entered the gate of the school, she heard waves of frolicking. She walked in with her feet up. As soon as the monkeys saw her, they immediately fell silent, like cats and mice, and shrank back in their seats.
Because of her prestige, everyone in the four miles and eight towns knows it. At the age of fifteen, she was able to single-handedly pick up the masters of a village in Chenjia Village, lead the officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, build bridges for the village, and be able to collect ghosts, and she can write well.
During the New Year's holidays, the Spring Festival couplets of whose family are beautiful on the Spring Festival couplets of her family.
She also raised a child king - Chang Zhizhou.
Chang Zhizhou is very old in the eyes of these children. Going up the tree and down the river, carrying the pot and picking coal, he ranked second, and no one dared to count first. He has a lot of eyes, reads well, and has great skills.
The most talked-about thing is the quarrel with Chenjiacun.
Since that year, Cheng Linghui singled out Chenjiacun because of her second sister. After a fight between the people of the two villages on the high weir outside the village. The children of the two villages wanted to find new fun. Every three or five days, they have to scold each other outside the village. For many years afterward, this was a reserved recreation for the children of the two villages.
Chang Zhizhou is the child king of Chengjiazhuang, and of course he is indispensable for this project. However, Chenjiacun has a sharp tooth in their lifetime. Every time they scolded, the children on Chengjiazhuang's side were deflated. This made the children of the whole village feel shameless.
Chang Zhizhou thought of a way. When scolding again, let the younger children scold in front, and when they couldn't scold anymore, a few of their older children suddenly came out and pretended to be adults and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, did you go against you?" ”
The weir on both sides is far apart, only looking at the height comparison, it is really not easy to see through the mechanism on the opposite side.
When the children in Chenjia Village saw that the adults were coming, they ran away. One by one, they fled.
Chang Zhizhou has used this method to gain the upper hand in the scolding war. Many years later, the children in Chenjia Village have grown up. Only then did the two villages know the reason. There is no one who doesn't scold Chang Zhizhou's ghost.
Now, the children of the village are working together to keep this secret, and even the adults don't know about it.
Even if Cheng Linghui is not good, the children still have to respect the mother of the leader they worship. What's more, Cheng Linghui is far more powerful than Chang Zhizhou. When she gets angry, she will hit people. Several times, Chang Zhizhou was chased and beaten by her all over the village with a broomstick.
When you meet such a person, unless you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, who would dare to make a mistake?
Cheng Linghui helped Elder Shan and his family place those leather monkeys. After counting, there were more than 100 children, large and small.
It's actually quite understandable. There was no family planning before. Chengjiazhuang Village is not small, which family does not have five or six children? There are more than 100 people, still not girls, and some are the same as Chang Zhizhou, who went to study at Gusu Academy when they were older. Some are too young to be accepted by the school.
There were so many children, and four classrooms were filled. The mountain chief alone can't teach even if he has three heads and six arms. Cheng Linghui was in a panic, and she was self-exalted and bravely taught a class. The teacher is the daughter of Mr. Private School, so needless to say, she taught a class. There was really no one left, and Cheng Linghui mobilized Lu Xiaoxiao.
Anyway, the children are also older, and Lu Xiaoxiao has nothing to do at home.
At dinner in the evening, the master laughed at the mountain chief, who was old and old, and mixed up with the leader of the women's army. The mountain chief smiled: "What's wrong with the women's army." There is a poem 'Mrs. Chengbei went to the descending clan, and the women's army was in front of the high righteous banner. Today, I am smiling alone, but there is no woman to give to a man. 'Not only Princess Pingyang, but also a woman in ancient times, Qin Liangyu in Wu, and General Concubine. The text includes Cai Wenji, Yi An Jushi, Shangguan Zhaorong, and Zhuo Wenjun. Didn't the drama still sing 'Who said that women are inferior to men'? ”
Shi Niang smiled: "It's all your reason, right?" I don't know if Sanhui wanted to go to school at the beginning, who was unwilling to push back? ”
The mountain chief was speechless, causing everyone to laugh for a while. The mountain chief couldn't help laughing, and he had to put on a straight face: "You don't say anything about eating, you don't say anything about sleeping, where are you reading?" ”
The crowd laughed more and more, and the mountain chief laughed too.
was rejoicing, and the mountain chief suddenly sighed: "When women can enter and exit with men like men, it is a peaceful world and the blessing of all people." ”
Guan Ju, who has always been few words, heard this and said, "Grandpa Shanchang, I also want to go to school." ”
When the mountain chief heard this, he put away his emotion and said with a smile: "Okay." In the future, Grandpa Yamaga's male students and female students will teach the same. ”
When Cheng Linghui heard this, she hurriedly said: "Slow, slow, don't dare to release such words." Now our primary school is still overcrowded, if we accept female students, where will we put them? No one is going to teach it. ”
The mountain chief thought for a moment: "Yes." ”
Lu Xiaoxiao said: "Won't it be over if you build two more classrooms." I'll teach the female students, and those skin monkeys won't be finished if they find someone else. ”
Grandma, who had been unable to interject on the side, echoed when she heard this: "I'll see it." ”
Mother has always looked at her grandmother as the horse, and nodded unexpectedly after listening to her grandmother's words: "Yes, yes." Sanhui, don't you dare not listen to your grandmother. ”
"Okay, let's cover it, and then we can cover it." Cheng Linghui agreed with a smile. The family then had a lively meal. During this period, Lu Xiaoxiao occasionally scolded Cheng Zhisong, who twisted around a few times and refused to eat well.
The matter of building a women's school is scheduled for May after the busy farming. Cheng Linghui found two unranked talents from a nearby village to help the mountain chief teach those boys. I also help out when I am fine. Anyway, the school is at the back of the house, two steps away, which is very convenient.
Chang Zhizhou now lives in Gusu Academy, and he only comes back once a holiday. On this day, before it was time to rest, the boy returned. Cheng Linghui's first reaction was that this kid had done something bad again, took a broom pimple, and couldn't help but say that he was going to beat him. Chang Zhizhou will not be beaten honestly, he will run away with his head in his hands, and shout while running: "It's not that I have to skip school, it's my father who is back." Let me tell you. ”
Cheng Linghui was stunned: "What are you talking about?" ”
Chang Zhizhou stood far away: "My father, your man is back." ”
Cheng Linghui came back to her senses after a while, and threw out a broomstick: "Call you kid no big or small." ”
Chang Zhizhou jumped and dodged: "I said I wouldn't come, my father had to let me come." Here you hit me again. Leave you alone, I'll go find Zhibai. So saying, he ran out.
