Chapter IX: Private Teaching

Li Shi tightly stepped forward and held Jing Hao in his arms, Chen Zimin stood up and said loudly: "Slander, impossible, my own sister I know." ”

"Dad, are you slandered by your mother? My mother has served her grandmother diligently for so many years, taught her husband and children, and didn't even go out of the door, where did she come from. Jing Hao shouted at Wang Baozhu, after all, she was a girl, and she said the word adulterer like a mosquito.

"Why do I usually beat your mother, that is, your mother's heart is no longer on me, which farmer's mother-in-law is not good at farming and serving the family, your mother is not biased, she will chant poetry all day long, and no one is everywhere to wipe her tears is not Sichun what it is." Wang Baozhu said magnificently regardless of shame.

"Relying on the good-looking demons who dress up all day long, they attract the disciples from ten miles and eight towns to look at the door of their homes." Mrs. Wang said hatefully.

"Slander, since you say that the eldest sister is fornicating, then who is the adulterer." Chen Wenying laughed angrily.

"Who it is, Chen Daxiu knows best." Wang Yunniang was speechless, and without waiting for Chen Zimin to answer, she shook off a bag of things.

The burden is a little old, embroidered with peach blossoms blooming in spring, and the stitches are fine, as if the girl's heaviest heart. Chen Wenying opened the baggage, and there was a brush inside, an inkstone, a yellowed painting, and a jade pendant. In the painting, the peach blossoms are blooming warmly and prosperously, and under the peach tree, a girl in green clothes is blowing Xun, with a delicate face and a pair of autumn water eyes, and there is an indescribable sorrow between the eyebrows and eyes, and the peach petals are floating on her long green silk. The dreamlike, thrillingly beautiful person in the painting is precisely the aunt, and the top of the painting reads "Qin Se is in the palace, don't be quiet".

"Isn't the person in this painting Chen Wenxiu, Jinghao, look at your good mother, this bag of things I turned out of a box in her room, I looked coldly at her for so many years She has always been half-hearted to my brother, it turned out to be here." Wang Yunniang said.

"A painting doesn't mean anything." Chen Xuejiao said.

"What about the brush, what about the inkstone, our family is the Zhuang family, who understands this. I heard that Chen Wenxiu didn't marry when she was a girl, so Xu Xiu saw these things, maybe how to wave when she was a girl. Wang Yunniang's eyes rolled and said.

"Presumptuous, my talented eldest sister can be slandered by you." Chen Zimin stood up and said loudly, in the Chen family, it is okay to compromise for filial piety, and when it comes to the reputation of the eldest sister, even if she is desperate, she will not give in.

"Chen Daxiucai, this is not slander, the facts are here, you look at the words written on this bracelet, although I can't read, but I also recognize the word Jinghao. married to the Wang family, thinking about the wild man, let alone entering the ancestral grave, it is not an exaggeration to soak the pig cage. Wang Yunniang picked up the bracelet and pointed to the words on the bracelet and said. Chen Xuejiao saw Wang Yunniang's mean face, and thought what kind of mentality such a sister-in-law had, and she would not let go of death even if she was dead.

"Aunt Wang, let the little nephew say a few words. A single painting, an inkstone, a bracelet is not enough, said that the words on the bracelet I thought that my mother also has the same bracelet, engraved with the word peace, and the aunt's bracelet is just a pair. Qi An said while changing and motioned to his mother to take the bracelet off his wrist, "These two bracelets were originally a pair, a relic of my grandmother, and one for my aunt and one for my father." The meaning of peace lies in the hope of the grandmother, and the years are quiet and the life is safe. In order to live up to her grandmother's wishes, the eldest aunt named her cousin Jinghao, her father named her little nephew Qi An, and her younger brother Qi Ping. ”

Everyone looked at the bracelets, and it was really a pair.

"My mother said before her death that the bracelet would be kept for me as a dowry, but I didn't expect my mother to die like this and be slandered, in the end, my mother did not fulfill my grandmother's last wish for a safe life." Jing Hao cried, "Mother is not sorry for Dad, but Dad is going to divorce Mother, this morning I also heard my aunt and Dad discussing to marry my uncle's cousin, Dad and Mom's bones are not cold, do you want to be so eager for your son?" ”

"She Chen Wenxiu can't enter the ancestral grave, if she says that there is no Xu Xiucai in her heart, I don't believe it." Wang Yunniang was annoyed and ashamed when she heard Jing Hao's accusation.

"When the eldest sister was not married, she treated her brother like a mother, and treated her stepmother like a mother, and she followed her parents' wishes to marry into the Wang family and serve her mother-in-law wholeheartedly, and manage the family. Chen Zimin said passionately.

"The eldest sister can't enter the ancestral grave is not what you said about a married daughter, you are so obstructive not to let the eldest sister enter the ancestral grave, do you want to leave a pit for you in the ancestral grave, do you dare to tell your mother-in-law about your thoughts." Chen Wenying said indignantly to Yun Niang, Yun Niang was so angry that she wanted to fall down. Chen Wenying's words are poisonous, how can a married daughter enter the ancestral grave of her mother's family, even if she is divorced, she can't enter.

"Aunt Wang, what do you say that my father is also a showman from the imperial court, and when you see the county lord, you don't have to kneel down and meet each other with a peaceful courtesy, you shout at my father, are you dissatisfied with the court, dissatisfied with the county master, let's go to the government to evaluate and judge now." Chen Xuejiao said crisply.

"Slandering the aunt and Xu Xiucai for personal affairs, Xu Xiucai was admitted to Lingnan as an official before the aunt got married, Xu Xiucai is an official of the imperial court, how can a court official be a peasant woman. According to the law, slandering the court officials and the reputation of the eldest sister-in-law must be abandoned. Qi An scared Yun Niang.

"As a married daughter, criticizing her mother's family affairs, she just committed the crime of saying too much in the seven, it seems that the aunt of the Wang family keeps saying that she wants to divorce her aunt, which is to pave the way for her mother-in-law's family to leave herself, Aunt Wang, you can apply for divorce if you are dissatisfied with your uncle." Chen Xuejiao deliberately said in a voice that was not familiar with the world.

Wang Yunniang listened to Chen Xuejiao's words, stretched out her hand to fan it, but the slap had not yet fallen, so she could only slap her face and be slapped hard by Chen Wenying. After all, she is a peasant woman, and she will mess around, but when she encounters reasoning, she softens, she thought that Chen Zimin's family was easy to bully, but she didn't expect that when it came to the issue of women's reputation, no one would turn a blind eye to her nonsense.

"Mother, aunt, I'm not alive, brother, are you a dead man, sister-in-law didn't have you in my heart to seek justice for you, and I ended up being beaten." Yun Niang cried and rolled into Mrs. Wang's arms, and Mrs. Wang saw her daughter being beaten and drunk Chen Wenying: "What is raised by a little prostitute." ”

"Aunt Wang, I will teach you a lesson to this unfilial daughter, you actually scolded my mother, I was raised by my mother since I was a child." Chen Wenying said to Mrs. Chen.

"Whether Chen Wenxiu enters the ancestral grave or not is not the final decision of the Chen family, I am a dead man." Old Lady Wang said gloomily.

"I just heard that my uncle discussed with the aunt of the Wang family this morning about marrying another person, according to the law of my dynasty, it is a crime to marry another person who will be imprisoned, so I will take my father's name card to see the official to see what crime should be committed." Qi An stood up.

Usually see Chen Zimin is gentle and elegant, and he doesn't care about everything, but he even makes them forget that Chen Zimin is still a showman, and Xiucai can take the name card to enter and leave the county government at will.

"Grandpa, grandma, aunt didn't make any mistakes, she should go to the ancestral grave, if she is divorced after death, she can't enter the ancestral grave, and it is our old Chen family who suffers. The old Chen family has a daughter who has been divorced, who will dare to marry the daughter of the old Chen family in the future. Sister Xue Yao and Sister Xue Miao are the top among the sisters, and they are more popular than others, and they can't catch up with any girl in ten miles and eight townships, and they will definitely be able to marry a good family in the future. There is also Brother Qi Lin, it is more than enough to participate in the township test next year, and he will definitely be a slaughterer for the official in the future, I have always paid attention to the family style and clarity as an official, if the aunt is not ruined by Brother Hugh Qilin's future, how can I glorify the ancestors of the Chen family. Chen Xuejiao picked up the analysis of the issues that Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen were most concerned about, and she saw that Zhao's face had changed several times. Xue Miao just wanted Chen Wenying to be suspended after her death, anyway, she was not her aunt, and now when she heard Xue Jiao's words, she thought of her future and began to curse Wang Yunniang in her heart.

"I don't care, anyway, I'm a kid, poor Xueyao, don't you want to marry into Ding's mansion." Zhang's big horn said.

The third aunt Cai has been immersed in a sesame oil shop since she was a child, and she has the shrewdness and smoothness of a small businessman. Just now, she had been watching everyone noisy with cold eyes, and after thinking about it, Xue Jiao's words were very reasonable, after all, she was also a person with a daughter, but she didn't want to be affected by her daughter in the future, so she smiled and said: "Father, aunt, maybe this brush and inkstone belong to the eldest brother, the eldest brother is a scholar, and it is normal for the eldest sister and the eldest brother to marry the eldest brother's things, where did Xu Xiucai come from." The aunt of the Wang family said that the eldest sister was just angry, and it was inevitable that there would be a misunderstanding between the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law. My aunt has always loved us and the eldest sister, but the eldest sister is angry and does not hesitate to leave Brother Baozhu and Jinghao, the family does not talk about the two families, and in the future, Xue Yao and Xue Miao marry into a good family, not only the old Chen family, but also the old Wang family. ”

Cai's words made the Wang family and the Chen family have stepped down, and the old man Chen said: "I know best what the daughter of the Chen family has, Wen Xiu will not do anything to shame her parents, entering the ancestral tomb of the Wang family is an ironclad matter, even if the patriarch and the chief of the security are invited to discuss." ”

"Then please ask Chen Daxiucai and the Chen family brothers to follow me to the ancestral tomb of the Wang family to see the Yin Mansion." Wang Baoshan lost no time in inserting a sentence. Chen Zimin took Chen Zichang's four brothers and followed Wang Baoshan to the ancestral tomb of Xishan. After looking at the Yin House, the burial ceremony began. After the funeral clothes were dressed, Li took a bowl of mild water, dipped a piece of new cotton, dipped in water, and scrubbed Wenxiu's eyes, which was called Kaiguang, saying that if the dead do not open the light, they will be blind in the next life. After this qiē is done, the "veneration" is held, where the family members and those who come to pay their respects see the deceased for the last time. All the relatives of the Chen family circled the coffin and saw Wen Xiu for the last time. After the face is respected, the coffin is immediately closed, and then the coffin lid is nailed, which is called "town nail" by the folk. Seven nails are generally used for the town nails, commonly known as "descendant nails", which are said to enable future generations to prosper.

When the nail was suppressed, Jing Hao howled and cried, because she would never see her mother again, and the last impression left to Xue Jiao was Chen Wenxiu's thrillingly beautiful face. Li secretly told Xue Jiao's aunt that she was similar to her grandmother, and Xue Jiao couldn't help but wonder how her grandmother should be.

The funeral began at dusk, the remnant sun was like blood, the mourning music sounded, and the sound of crying and complaining made Xue Jiao burst into tears, and she remembered what happened to her previous life. I don't know where the young body of the previous life has fallen, how the parents and family should be sad, but my soul is alive in this life.
