163, dead hearted
After the matter of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Su Tong returned to Beijing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Soon after, Su Hou Ye Zen position. At the same time, the edict of guilt was issued. said that he killed too much, which hurt the heavens and peace. Let the Empress Dowager Lin worry about it, so that she will die of hard work, that is, she is not filial piety and so on. I went to become a monk.
In short, he blamed himself for the purge of the officialdom in the south and the purge of the relatives in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Leave Su Tong a peaceful world. Such a good father and a good king are not only the blessing of Su Tong, but also the blessing of the people of the world. It is foreseeable that the peaceful and prosperous times are just around the corner.
Chang Jiwen stayed in Yangzhou as an official, and Cheng Linghui returned to Shaxi County alone.
As soon as she got home, she collapsed. It took more than a year to get better. It's like being dead.
She didn't go to Yangzhou, and Chang Jiwen didn't come back. There is no news of Sun Xinglong, and there is no news of Su Tong. Cheng Linghui thinks this is not bad. The absence of news proves that they are all good.
She is now at home watching her children farming, which is also quite fulfilling. It was in the middle of the night, waking up from a nightmare, a little overwhelmed.
Early in the morning, Lu Xiaoxiao's scolding voice came from outside the window: "You little rabbit, come over to me." ”
Don't think about it, it must be Zhisong who is naughty again. Lu Xiaoxiao is becoming more and more like a village woman. Especially when she chased after the pine with a broomstick.
Chang Zhisong is only four or five years old, and he is very naughty when he goes to school. Climb high and climb low, he is indispensable everywhere.
Zhibai is the opposite of him. The child had always been quiet. I don't like to cry, and I don't like to laugh. I don't know if Wu Moming has seen him. Or something happened in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Wu Moming's backer fell. He had never seen this son since ancient times. This kid will only show a little expression when he sees his eldest brother Chang Zhizhou.
Guan Ju has been even more terrible in the past two years.
Cheng Linghui is sick, and Lu Xiaoxiao doesn't care. The house is full of little girls inside and out.
Hua Ruyan gave birth to another daughter, scolding He Kun every day.
Mother is still in a daze, but she and grandma are in good health.
Cheng Linghui climbed on the windowsill and watched Lu Xiaoxiao and Zhisong jumping in the yard. My heart is full of happiness.
"Sanhui." The second sister and brother-in-law came, and before they entered the courtyard, the voice flew in.
In the past two years, the life of the second sister's family has been very prosperous, and her brother-in-law has been good to her. Cheng Linghui was not worried about her, and responded when she heard the words: "Hey." ”
The second sister hurriedly entered the courtyard, holding a blank piece of paper in her hand: "Sanhui, the fourth sister's mother-in-law is gone." A funeral post sent early in the morning. ”
The fourth sister's mother-in-law is Sun Xinglong's mother, Sun Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law Sun is a sturdy woman, Cheng Linghui heard that she was gone, and she was a little unacceptable: "Why is it so sudden?" ”
The second sister kept going upstairs and entered the house. He sat down in the chair and said, "You don't know, the fourth sister's mother-in-law has been sick for a long time. My fifth sister and I have been to see it several times. I'm afraid that if you see the fourth sister, you two will pinch it again, so I won't tell you. ”
Cheng Linghui didn't care about this, and asked, "How can Sister-in-law Sun's good body say that she is sick?" ”
The second sister sighed: "It's not a heart disease yet. ”
Sister-in-law Sun's life is not easy. If you marry a husband, you don't have to talk about it, and you have to be a son. Baal painstakingly sent his eldest son to school, but the eldest son was an unsuccessful man. I just married him a daughter-in-law, and I caught up with the imperial court to recruit soldiers. Finally, when he came back from the army, within two years of stopping, this kid became addicted to gambling. If it weren't for Sun Xinglong's fighting spirit and keeping pulling him together, he would have lost all his children and wives a long time ago.
Sister-in-law Sun's full of hope fell on Sun Xinglong. But Sun Xinglong took the wrong path. Sister-in-law Sun didn't know about Sun Xinglong's outside, but he never went home, and no one knew that there was more than luck. As soon as Sister-in-law Sun's only spiritual pillar fell, she became angry and sick.
After being sick for more than a year, he died.
Cheng Linghui listened, sighed for Sister-in-law Sun and worried about the life of the fourth sister. Sun Xinglong doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and there is an unsuccessful uncle at home. There will certainly be troubles in the future.
The second sister has always had no idea: "Sanhui, the fourth sister's mother-in-law is gone, this is a big deal." What do you say? ”
Cheng Linghui thought about it, and it was not for nothing that the fourth sister was angry with herself. This is not the time for sisters to be angry. said: "People reported that they were mourned, so we naturally want to go to mourn our filial piety." The rest of the matter, when we get there, we will discuss it after seeing the situation. ”
The second sister nodded: "Okay." ”
Cheng Linghui sent someone to call the fifth sister and go to Hai Ye by herself. Supposedly, you should go and tell your father about this first. But thinking that the fourth sister had always refused to forgive her father, she didn't go. Instead, he found Haiye, who was older than the village chief Cheng Leopard.
went to mourn filial piety, not only to mourn the deceased, but also to support his aunt and grandmother. In the past, women had a low status, and if they wanted to straighten their waists in their in-laws' families, they needed the support of their mother's descendants.
Although Hai Ye is prickly and stubborn, he is not unreasonable. Seeing that Cheng Linghui came to find him first, he felt that he was respected by the juniors, how could he not be unsatisfied. took the initiative to ask Cheng Linghui to go to Cheng Bao to discuss. After all, Cheng Bao is now the village chief and patriarch. You can't mess with the rules.
Cheng Bao also knows Hai Ye's stinky temper, he is a donkey.
The three of them discussed it and called the parents of each family to go with them.
There are more than 130 households in Chengjiazhuang, except for those who are not at home. There are seventy or eighty people in each family. It looks like a show. Cheng Linghui is also satisfied.
Everyone set up a dozen carriages and went to Sunjiazhuang. On the way, I met the fifth sister and the fifth brother-in-law who came in a hurry.
When everyone arrived at Sunjiazhuang, Sun's sister-in-law was already lying on the straw shop, waiting to be buried.
The fourth sister saw that although Cheng Linghui still ignored her, she was now holding her head with filial piety. No matter how much temperament you have, you have to suppress it. Each family has its own affairs. Under the stewardship, although the Sun family was sad, they were still in order.
Hanging filial piety in the countryside is actually to give a salute to the deceased and inquire about the funeral matters. For example, when to bury it, how to give a gift. Three miles of different days, ten miles of different customs. Ask people what the rules are for funerals here.
"Sanhui."
Cheng Linghui, who was listening to the Sun family's steward, couldn't come back to his senses for a while when he heard this call and turned around. Standing behind him in a big filial piety robe turned out to be Sun Xinglong. Her first reaction was that Su Tong was finally willing to let Sun Xinglong go, and she was unspeakably surprised.
Sun Xinglong said: "There are many people here, and it is not a place to talk. Go home and sit down. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out.
Sun Xinglong did not live with his sister-in-law, and he built a courtyard of blue bricks and tiles at the head of the village alone.
Cheng Linghui turned her head to look around, and sure enough, she saw the cold gaze of the fourth sister. She took a step forward and wanted to call the fourth sister. The fourth sister turned around and went into the house.
Sun Xinglong stood at the gate waiting for her, and Cheng Linghui walked over and said, "What should be said, we have already spoken." I won't go to your house. ”
Sun Xinglong said: "I know. Actually, I didn't really want to invite you to my house. I just want the fourth sister to die for me. ”
Cheng Linghui was stunned: "Didn't Su Tong raise his hand?" How else would you have come back? ”
Sun Xinglong said: "Don't say that I did something wrong, even if I am a businessman." Just at my previous thoughts about you, do you think Su Tong will let me go? ”
"Su Tong ......" Cheng Linghui's confidence is not enough: "I am not such a cautious person." ”
Sun Xinglong sneered and was noncommittal: "There are a lot of people who want my life." I'm sorry for the fourth sister, I can't let her worry after I leave, I can only wronged you. After all, you have the ability to live a good life on your own, and I am relieved. The four sisters are different, and the children are still ......"
"I understand." Cheng Linghui interrupted him: "You are afraid that she will follow her aunt's old path." ”
Sun Xinglong nodded and asked her to close.
Cheng Linghui followed him and took two steps to the secluded place next to him. Sun Xinglong pointed to a wall and said, "Look. ”
Cheng Linghui looked at his hand, and the head of an officer and soldier poked out from behind the wall.
Sun Xinglong shouted towards the wall: "Brother, can you turn around and let us talk for a while?" ”
When the officer heard this, he retracted his head again.
Sun Xinglong said to Cheng Linghui: "You also saw it, Su Tong will not let me go." He was able to allow me to come back for funeral, because of my love when I was a child. After a pause: "Sanhui, if I don't say some things today, I won't have a chance in this life." So, no matter what I say next, don't be angry.
I used to dream that we would both live together. You, like my mother, pinched your waist and scolded me early in the morning, and I played with the children in the house, and rode them as a big horse. If the children make you angry, I'll punish them with you.
We don't do big deals either. Plant a few acres of land and open a grocery store. When the family is together, it's enough to chew.
It's a pity that I married the fourth sister, and those can only be dreams. You're such a good girl, you deserve a single-minded man to live with you. I'm disqualified, and I'm not worthy of you.
But you shouldn't, you shouldn't marry Chang Jiwen. What is Chang Jiwen? Doesn't he have two stinky money and a bullshit reputation?
He married several wives first, children in the family, and a lot of little wives, why did he marry you. What am I not doing as good as him? So, I'm not reconciled. I must be stronger than him and snatch you back from him. ”
"So you're entangled with bandits fighting Chang's compound." Cheng Linghui looked at him.
"Yes." Sun Xinglong also looked at her and admitted simply: "Before that, I was alone. It's a pity that when Niu Qi caught Chang Jiwen, Xiaojin had already had a falling out with him, otherwise Chang Jiwen wouldn't have survived now. ”
Speaking of this, he didn't know what to think, and was silent for a moment before saying: "I had many opportunities to kill Chang Jiwen later, and the reason why I didn't do it was because I found out that you had feelings for him. Even if I kill him, you won't be with me. I'm going to make you follow me willingly.
It's a pity that providence makes people, and I always miss you one step later.
You were abandoned by Chang Jiwen, first met Wu Moming, and then was taken away by Su Tong.
You were caught by Wu Moming, and He Kun took the lead.
That time in Yangzhou, you were taken away by Chu Qingmad again.
I pretended to be Chang Jiwen, trying to ruin his reputation and anger you, who knew that you would be easily recognized. It's a pity that I am scheming, but the will of God is difficult to disobey, and I am destined to be unable to ask for it in this life. He looked at Cheng Linghui: "I'm dead." ”
"Live a good life with Chang Jiwen. Chang Jiwen is not a lot of infatuation seeds among men. Although he has had many women, I can see that he is the only one in his heart. As he spoke, a treacherous expression suddenly appeared on his face: "Do you know Lin Jiao?" ”
Cheng Linghui didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this person and nodded.
Sun Xinglong said with a smile: "Lin Jiao covets Chang Jiwen's appearance, and joins forces with me to kidnap Chang Jiwen." She has a lot more means than the flower girl. Chang Jiwen is a normal man......"
