Chapter II

"What?"

Hearing Chen's astonishing words, not to mention the Zhao family, even Father Chen and Mrs. Chen couldn't sit still.

"I'm going back to my mother's house! I'm going to remarry! Chen repeated impatiently, and said: "I married Zhao Chen at the age of sixteen, and I am only twenty-five years old this year, which is the age of a flower. Can I still stay for the dead ghost who never took me to heart for the rest of my life? Of course I'm going to remarry. ”

Without saying a word, he sneered at the Zhao family: "Isn't this move also in line with your wishes." Now that I want to remarry, I naturally can't take away the land of this big house. At that time, if you want to have a step-child or move out of the big house, I don't bother to care. No, it also saves you from painstaking calculations. Again...... If you can rely on me for one thing, it is not impossible for me to leave half of my original dowry to the Zhao family. ”

The patriarch of the Zhao clan didn't wait for the Chen clan to continue, he waved his hand and shook his head again and again and said, "This can't be helped!" This is unacceptable! Although our Zhao family is not a famous scholarly family, it is also the home of the eunuchs, and there are still people in the clan who go to school, and what they want is this face and reputation. How can you do such a ridiculous thing as letting your daughter-in-law remarry? ”

Chen sneered again and again, and did not entangle, pointing to Zhao Lin and his son Zhao Shuo, who were standing on the side, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't remarry, you can do it." It's just that now the people in the big house and the second room of the Zhao family live in the same courtyard, the uncle is strong and the nephew is big, and the melon field is under the plum, don't let outsiders say anything nice. ”

When the elders of the Zhao family heard this, they looked at each other.

Mrs. Zhao has always disliked Chen, but seeing her so aggressive and shameless at this moment, she was even more angry. He said sharply: "If you are afraid that the melon field and Li Xia will lead people to gossip, then it is easy to do." People like ours have the most important reputation, and they don't allow the female relatives of the family to do such lascivious and profane acts without abiding by women's morals. If you are afraid of people's mouths, it is better to invite yourself to the nunnery, the ancient Buddha with green lights, and abide by the way of women. ”

Before a word fell, Father Chen and Mrs. Chen suddenly got up, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "It's too much to deceive people!" ”

Father Chen laughed angrily, pointed at the Zhao family and said: "The deceased is the greatest, you are making a big fuss in the mourning hall, and you can't wait for Zhao Chen to jump out to discuss the succession without waiting for Zhao Chen for a hundred days, don't think that others don't know." Now I don't agree with a word, but I still have the face to drive my daughter to the temple to be a widow for your son. I didn't know that your Zhao family was so famous. Since the reputation is important, let's break it up first, my good uncle, how did your precious son of the big house die! ”

As soon as the words came out, others were okay, but the old lady Zhao and Zhao Lin and his wife changed their complexions, and the little Sun lost his mind, and even threw a sweet white carved tea bowl from the official kiln to the ground.

Seeing this, the Chen family became more and more backbone, holding his arms and squinting at everyone, sneering again and again.

The people of the Zhao clan heard the vague words of Old Lady Chen, but they still didn't know why. Seeing that Mrs. Zhao's description had changed greatly, she immediately fell on the bed, and there was no longer the previous arrogance. Looking at the two people in the second room, they are also depressed and embarrassed. Even more suspicious, they talked about it from ear to ear.

Father Chen calmed everyone in the Zhao family with a word, especially striking while the iron was hot, and said with a cold face: "The son-in-law, as a nine-grade official of the imperial court, actually violated the laws of the imperial court and mixed up the land of fireworks. When such an ugly thing happened in the family, you didn't say anything to cover it up, but for the sake of a little money and profit, you made a fuss above the mourning hall - if only your Zhao family made a fuss, I didn't bother to pay attention to it, but you shouldn't have used my daughter as a knife, is it true that there is no one in our Chen family? ”

As soon as Mrs. Chen's words fell, the people of the clan were greatly surprised. The patriarch of the Zhao clan didn't notice it well, and hurriedly turned his head and asked: "It's not that the old family died with heart palpitations, why is there any Qinglou Chu Pavilion now?" ”

Father Chen stood aside, spit on the ground with disdain, and said coldly: "The heart palpitations are gone, this can barely be called." This horse wind and heart palpitations are somewhat similar. ”

This is really far-fetched, how can this palpitation be the same as the wind on the horse? The former is a common illness that is deplorable. The latter is to be laughed at and generous. If the words of Old Lady Chen are spread today, the rest of the Zhao family, let alone going to school and becoming officials, I am afraid that they will not even be able to stand up between the neighbors in the streets and alleys.

The Zhao clan trembled angrily, tremblingly pointed at the old lady Zhao and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The ugliness of the family was exposed, and Mrs. Zhao really had no face. Immediately drooped his head and didn't answer, Zhao Lin and his daughter-in-law in the second room saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Patriarch Mingjian, the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized. How can you tell the people who came to mourn that the eldest brother's death was so disgraceful. ”

"You—" know that you have no face to see people, so why bother to make trouble in the mourning hall. He was still thinking about a blood relative before, and he came over to make decisions for them. I didn't expect that I was not innocent.

The Zhao clan couldn't say anything, and before he had time to make a difficulty, he heard Old Lady Chen say nonchalantly: "Although the ugliness of the family is not easy to publicize. But there are many people in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and there are many people chewing on right and wrong. Even if you had counted the money, there was no guarantee that they would keep their mouths shut. If this matter can't be published in the future, it will be everyone's creation. If you log out......"

Old Lady Chen glanced at everyone in the Zhao family with a cold face, flicked her sleeves, and said neatly: "I remember that the Zhao family also has a few boys studying in the county school. I don't know if there is such an ugly thing in the family, the reputation at the time of this assessment is not good, and whether I can still be promoted by the karma. If you really delay your studies because of this, it will not be good. ”

When the people of the Zhao clan heard this, their faces became even more embarrassed.

After a pause, Old Lady Chen looked at the people of the Zhao family who were all red-faced in the room and wanted to dig a hole and drill into the ground, and said slowly: "Marriage is the best way to marry two surnames. Originally, people like us, for the sake of fame and face, really shouldn't have remarried. However, first, there was a mother-in-law who conspired with the heirs of the second house to seize the property of the big house, and then there were uncles and nephews who had to hide from the big melon fields and plums. Wave after wave of unsettled, the old man thought that instead of being driven to the nunnery by his own mother to be lonely and miserable, and the green lantern ancient Buddha was a living dead, it was better to break off his in-laws. In the future, they will marry each other, and the two will have nothing to do with each other. ”

The people of the Zhao clan looked at each other when they heard this, and the patriarch of the Zhao clan couldn't help but discuss: "This matter is very important, can we discuss it in the long run?" ”

Father Chen waved his hand, shook his head and smiled: "My brother is a person who understands, and we don't talk darkly." Looking at the scheming of today's mother-in-law and your Zhao family's second room, if it weren't for the fact that our Chen family still has some connections, if it weren't for the fact that my daughter is still stronger, my brother thinks that in the long run, can my poor daughter still take her two daughters to live in peace? ”

The patriarch of the Zhao family, who asked in one sentence, was speechless, and couldn't help glaring at Mrs. Zhao angrily. He came over to cut this matter today, but he was really full of food, and he put a basin on his head.

Father Chen smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves again, cocked Erlang's legs and said: "The Zhao family and the Chen family were old friends in the world, and it was a coincidence that the two families became in-laws again. It should be to help each other and support each other. It's just that now that the son-in-law has died of illness, the mother-in-law and the second-room family are described like this. The gap between the two rooms is deep, even if my daughter wants to settle down at any time, she may not have this opportunity. In this case, instead of holding on to my daughter, let's get together and disperse, and leave an old relationship when we meet in the future. Rest assured, my brother has such a deep friendship between the two of us, if there is something in the Zhao clan to ask for something, the old man and my unfilial son will do their best. After all, although the in-laws are broken, the old friends are still there. ”

Everyone in the Zhao family was dumbfounded when they heard this, and they looked at each other. With these words, it is clear that he is using the power of the Chen family to force the Zhao family to submit? The implication is that if the Zhao family agrees to the Chen family to remarry, the two clans will still have courtesy exchanges in the future, if they do not agree...... I'm afraid that the Zhao family will have many disasters and difficulties in the future.

Everyone in the Zhao family was shocked. The patriarch of the Zhao clan also felt extremely bitter in his mouth. I just feel that the Chen family is really difficult to be strong. After all, they are such a well-known cultivator, and what they value most is their face and reputation. Now that Zhao Chen has just died, the Chen family wants to remarry without abiding by women's morals. Even if outsiders will say that Chen's water-based poplar can't keep the widow, I'm afraid that there are also people who talk about the Zhao family's meanness and unkindness, and they can't tolerate other orphans and widows to live a clean life.

Such a reputation will spread out, and the Zhao family will have the face to communicate with various families.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan had the heart to discuss with Old Lady Chen again. Seeing that Old Lady Chen swore with confidence, and knew that everyone in the Chen family was not good, they could say such an interlocking coercion, and they must have had such an idea a long time ago. If he forcibly keeps people for the sake of the Zhao family's face. I'm afraid that if people are retained, the future troubles will also be left.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan pondered for a long time, only feeling that although the matter of letting the Chen family return home and marry each other was unpleasant, it was not so important compared to the interests of the Zhao family. What's more, if the Chen family is put back, it will operate in the future, and maybe it will give Zhao Jiabo a reputation of being kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and he can't bear to be a widow and a widow as a living dead......

The patriarch of the Zhao clan thought about it in his heart, and asked the old lady Zhao who was sitting on the side with a smile, "What do you think the old sister-in-law should do?" ”

Before Mrs. Zhao could answer, Father Chen suddenly interjected and said: "The matter of Zhao Chen's death in Sister Yao's bed is shameful after all, and if it is rumored to go out, our Chen family will not have face." Although the old in-laws can rest assured, I will definitely tell my son to handle this matter well when I go back. It will neither delay the reputation of the Zhao family, nor will it delay Zhao Lin's scientific expedition. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Lin with a blank look. just glanced at it, but Zhao Lin's spine was inexplicably cold.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao didn't feel her heart sank.
