Cheng Linghui singled out Chenjiacun because of her former second brother-in-law. In the past, people were united, and one person's feud easily evolved into the feud of two families and two villages. Otherwise, there would not be the origin of the war between the two villages for generations.

Chengjiazhuang and Chenjiacun are enemies. Cheng Linghui disagreed with Chang Zhizhou marrying the daughter of Chenjia Village. Chenjiacun even does not allow daughters to marry into Chengjiazhuang. In order to prepare for changes over time. People quickly told their daughters about their in-laws.

Chang Zhizhou knew about it, and he didn't discuss it with Cheng Linghui, so he began to arrange his own champion building. Make it red and hang colors, how festive and festive it is.

On the day of the marriage of his daughter, he asked his friends to dress up early in the morning, and waited at the intersection where the sedan chair must pass, pretending to pick up relatives. The girl's sedan chair was intercepted to Chengjiazhuang in such a daze.

When the matchmaker saw that something was wrong, the boys snatched the sedan chair and rushed all the way to carry the bride back.

Wait for the matchmaker to twist his little feet to report back. The girl had already entered the door, and it was too late to say anything.

Some say, how is this possible? Isn't that a fantasy? What do people do when they send their relatives?

It's really possible.

In the past, there were not many sedan chairs for relatives. Whoever uses a sedan chair must give the sedan chair man happy money. In order to please the money, the sedan chair man generally throws away the large group of people who send off relatives. Moreover, even if the person who sent off the relatives saw someone welcoming the sedan chair, most of them would not think elsewhere. Who would have thought that someone would rob a bride?

There are many people who help on happy occasions. The matchmaker can't recognize all the relatives of the two families. By the time she reacted, it was too late.

The girls have all entered the door of other people's houses, and no matter how angry the Chenjia Village is, there is nothing they can do.

Although Cheng Linghui was also angry, she always favored this eldest son. Seeing the little couple kneeling in front of him, he relented first.

In the end, Cheng Linghui and Chang Jiwen went to Chenjia Village in person and gave their parents double the bride price. He also gave the girl's former mother-in-law a sum of money, and the matter was settled.

The old couple recalled afterwards. Although Chang Zhizhou has been naughty since childhood, he also knows how to measure himself than other children. Why did you go to Beijing to catch the exam and come back so messing around?

Cheng Zhibai, who has always been good with his eldest brother, broke the sky. It turned out that it was Wu Moming and Chu Qingmad.

But those two people are now the rulers of the court, and Cheng Linghui and his family can't do anything to others even if they are angry. I can't afford to provoke, can't I still hide? Since then, Chang Jiwen has set up family rules. Cultivate and read the generations, and never be an official.

In fact, Chang Jiwen's family is also redundant.

A few children, in addition to Chang Zhizhou's hard work. Nothing else.

As soon as Cheng Zhisong said that going to school, it was as if he wanted his life. Lu Xiaoxiao took a broom and pimple to the school every day to catch him up, and in the end, he would know the two words and not be blind. Cheng Zhibai is quite bright when he reads, but since Chang Zhizhou was in business, he followed his eldest brother to abandon the sage book and learn to be a bookkeeper.

Chang Zhiyuan gave Cheng Linghui the most headache.

When he was a child, Cheng Linghui and Chang Jiwen were busy with food and business, and rarely cared about him. I don't know who joked about him, saying that he was picked up by Cheng Linghui and his family. This kid took it seriously. Since he was sensible, he was clamoring to find his biological parents. When I was a teenager, I ran around and didn't have a home at all.

Later, although he was older, he became sensible. But he is still not close to Cheng Linghui. Calling friends all day long, cars coming and going, and I don't know what to do. Cheng Linghui was afraid that he would follow the crooked path of the fifth master and his uncle. Ke'er can't help it, even if she is very powerful, she is not useful at all.

The youngest son, Chang Zhiqing, is the most worry-free.

He has been well-behaved since he was a child.

went to school obediently, married a daughter-in-law obediently, and obediently hugged Cheng Linghui's grandson. With this temperament, not to mention that he doesn't have the heart to be a man at all, even if he is given an official, he can't do it.

The project to control Dasha Creek has been underway for several years. When the money for building the temple was spent, the two of them took it from their homes. The family funds left by Master Chang to Chang Jiwen were almost all filled in. The day when the dam was closed and the canal was opened. The people of the entire Shaxi County were boiling.

With this canal, you can not only water the ground. In many arid villages in Shaxi County, the problem of draft has been solved. The people take food as the sky, and with this canal, it is no less than God opening his eyes.

On the day of completion, the common people spontaneously pooled money and sang a big drama for several days.

But it's the bad thing that this drama sings.

Cheng Linghui still has a young lady who has not been out of the cabinet. For such a grand event, the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in the village all went to the play together. went back and forth, Guan Ju actually looked at a boy who sang martial arts in the troupe.

This girl has thoughtful etiquette when she plays children, and she is even more verbose than Chang Jiwen. Cheng Linghui never imagined that such a child would do something that ordinary daughters would not do and would not dare to do - private for life.

When Chang Jiwen heard the news, he was furious as expected, and he had to kill Guan Ju. Cheng Linghui was so bad at talking that she stopped this stubborn old man who couldn't pull ten donkeys.

Guan Ju took the opportunity to run to the door.

Cheng Linghui sent Chang Zhizhou and Cheng Zhibai to find her.

She was determined to play with that trick. Chang Zhizhou couldn't persuade her, so he had to leave her some silver to come back.

Later, Guan Ju came back with her children and husband. But Chang Jiwen didn't recognize her and didn't even open the door for her. Guan Ju could only leave.

Cheng Linghui has been sending her to Dongling. The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried. Guan Ju told Cheng Linghui that the two of them are now settled in Ganzhou. Her husband was admitted to the martial arts of the imperial court, and now he is also an official.

Cheng Linghui knew what Guan Ju meant. But Chang Jiwen's stubborn old man decided that no one could do anything.

Since then, Guan Ju's husband has been a third-rank military attaché. She also followed Rongguang and became a lady of the Decree, but throughout her life, she did not get Chang Jiwen's understanding. Chang Jiwen didn't recognize this daughter until he died.

After the completion of the project in Dashaxi, Su Tong came once.

Chang Jiwen and Cheng Linghui built a small temple in Sigou. One man is high, four or five feet wide. A wooden sign was hung on the door, on which were written the crooked words 'Cheng'en Temple'.

Don't blame that word for not being written well. It was written by the three-year-old grandson of the two, and it was not easy to write like that.

Chang Jiwen looked at the words, and he didn't know how satisfied he was.

Su Tong glanced at the temple and left without saying anything. Since then, the holy driver has never been to Shaxi County, and he has not even come to Kaizhou Mansion.

Shen Cong secretly told Cheng Linghui that when Su Tong was recuperating in Chengjiazhuang, he saw that this was a hidden treasure. He asked Chang Jiwen to come back to build Cheng'en Temple, just to cover his later treasure hunting. So, he didn't care what the temple looked like. Anyway, all the money spent was Wu Moming's selling money.

But he never expected that Chang Jiwen, who has always been decent, would have the courage to play such a trick gun on him. Only a small temple was built to fool him.

After Shen Cong touched the golden captain, he would not say anything nonsense about the hidden treasure land.

Cheng Linghui suddenly remembered the jade seal of the country.

Su Tong sacrificed twenty or thirty young lives for the broken stone, and even he almost died. In that canyon, the ground cracked and landslided, and the waste was not good. If Chengjiazhuang is really a hidden treasure land, I'm afraid it is not the same as the scene in the canyon? It may also affect the surrounding villages.

Fortunately, although Su Tong is good at hunting, he is still a wise man. There is no failure of one plan, and there are two plans.

What Cheng Linghui didn't know was that Su Tong stopped the idea of hunting for treasures, not because he thought about the people and the country. It's because he's so confident. There is a saying that the whole world is not the king's land. The whole world is his, and the treasure is his, no matter where it is placed. So, he was not in a hurry. Take your time to find an opportunity.

It's just that there are always many unsatisfactory things in life. Even emperors are inevitable. Su Tong went this time, but he never found an opportunity to come to Chengjiazhuang to find out. The secret of Chengjiazhuang will be forever annihilated in the torrent of time.

Although the treasure was not spared from theft, it was a long time later.

Since then, Cheng Linghui and Chang Jiwen, like many rural couples, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Go to the field together and teach the children to read and practice martial arts together. In the second half of their lives, they rarely even went to Kaizhou Mansion.

From time to time, there are friends who have made good friends in the past to walk around, and students from Gusu Academy or Purple Mountain Academy come to ask questions. The two are not lonely.

In the autumn of this year, Chang Jiwen, who was 78 years old at the time, came to an end in his life. Before dying, he took Cheng Linghui's hand and instructed: "Sanhui, after I leave, you must live a few more years." I have a lot of work to attend to. I'll pick you up when I'm done. ”

Cheng Linghui knew that the 'things' he was talking about were his wives. For so many years, he is still haunted by his past than Cheng Linghui. She nodded: "I know, you deal with it slowly, I'll wait." And I don't feel at ease: "Although my eldest sister likes to pinch the tip to be strong, her heart is not bad." If she cares about you for a while, don't be like her. After all, she has been lying alone outside the village for so many years, and she is quite lonely. ”

Chang Jiwen was a little angry: "You haven't changed in your life, so you can't stop talking about other people in front of me?" ”

Cheng Linghui coaxed the child: "Okay, I won't say anything." Say no more. ”

Chang Jiwen was still not at ease: "If Su Tong comes to pick you up, you can't go with him." ”

Su Tong's harem, the head of the four concubines, has been empty for so many years. Chang Jiwen has not been haunted for so many years. He didn't want to think about it, now that he was seventy or eighty, who still had the heart of the wind and snow.

Cheng Linghui thought about it, she wanted to laugh but couldn't: "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." I'm waiting for you at home to pick me up. ”

Chang Jiwen closed his eyes at this time. It's like falling asleep.

Cheng Linghui took a long time to come back to her senses. fetched water to freshen up and stop him, and changed into the shroud that had been prepared a long time ago. That's when I went out and called the children.

Chang Jiwen's funeral was done on the bridge. Although he lives in Chengjiazhuang all the year round, he will eventually return to his ancestral land.

When the funeral was held, Cheng Linghui stayed in Chengjiazhuang and did not go. She never shed a single tear. But Lu Xiaoxiao cried several times. said that Chang Jiwen's death was gone, and he was even a vindictive person, which was boring.

On the day Chang Jiwen was buried, Wu Moming and Chu Qingfang came. Needless to say, it was Su Tong's meaning. Both of them now have gray hair.

Chu is crazy and has a group of children and grandchildren. Wu Moming is still alone.

Cheng Zhibai kowtowed to him, and Wu Moming accepted it. The father and son looked at each other, and neither of them said anything.

Before leaving, Wu Moming gave Cheng Zhibai another sachet. It's still very ordinary.

The most important thing Wu Moming lacked in his life was money, but what he left for his only son was only two ordinary sachets that could no longer be ordinary. Inside, without exception, contained an amulet begged from a temple. Very ordinary amulet.

The year after Chang Jiwen's death, Lu Xiaoxiao also died. She did not enter the ancestral grave of the Chang family, but left her last words, asking Cheng Zhisong to bury her with her mother and grandmother. Later generations called the place where they were buried the 'Three Grandmothers' Grave'. It is also said that the 'Three Grandmothers' temple at the head of Wengong Bridge was built to commemorate these three hard-working women.

Cheng Linghui lived until she was 98 years old. The eyes are not dazzled, the ears are not deaf, and the body has always been good. Suddenly, one night, she dreamed that the pear blossoms of ten thousand trees were blooming, and the white pear blossoms were very beautiful.

The young Chang Jiwen came in a wide-sleeved gown, the same as Cheng Linghui when he first saw him.

He stood under the pear blossom tree and smiled at her: "Sanhui, I'll pick you up." ”

When Cheng Linghui woke up, she realized that she didn't know when she was wet with tears. The moonlight outside the window is bright, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. But she knew she couldn't spend the holidays with her children anymore. Chang Jiwen came to pick herself up, this Mid-Autumn Festival, she is going to accompany Chang Jiwen.

How long have they not been together? Ten years or twenty years?

Cheng Linghui can't remember clearly. She has never dared to count the days, for fear that one day she will not be able to stand the pain of lovesickness and collapse. In that case, Chang Jiwen will be worried about 'over there'. But now she can cry happily.

Cheng Linghui cried. Let the people fetch water and take a careful bath. Put on the old clothes that have been prepared for a long time. Let people comb their hair in a beautiful bun. Tell your subordinates to wait until dawn to tell Chang Zhizhou that she went to find his father, so that he doesn't have to be sad.

Looking back. The hair is like green silk, the person is like jade, and he has left the rope several times to the white head.

On August 14 of this year, Cheng Linghui passed away in his sleep......
