Chapter VIII Privately Changing Genealogy
Honest people are easy to be bullied, this is not the truth, but it is an unchanging law for thousands of years.
The eldest lady is a good person who is gentle and housekeeping, and generally good people and honest people are common. She treats her second uncle, a distant relative, and is not arrogant, and she is also kind to others, and her father-in-law is quite satisfied with her. Therefore, even if Xia Xiaoniang serves the king with sex, has quite a lot of means, and has a lot of pets, the status of the eldest lady in the main house is not too threatened.
Today has reached the point of divorce from his wife, saying that it is the fault of the eldest lady and the stick brother, Zhen Feng is a little unconvinced.
Entering the gate of Zhen's house, Zhen Feng dragged a few people, but no one paid attention to him. Finally, a cook aunt "hummed" and told him the outline of the matter, and his eyebrows could still dance from time to time, it seemed that the boring days were suffocated, and finally there was a fresh, exciting topic, and a listener who sent it to the door.
The matter is very simple, but for a family, the sin is also great: Zhen Bang, the eldest son of the main house, secretly wrote his name on the top of the eldest father (i.e., grandfather) in the family tree. After the worship this morning, the old man went back to the house to rest, Zhen Jili was so frightened when he opened the genealogy that the genealogy fell to the ground, the crooked handwriting was his eldest son, and Brother Bang also bluntly admitted that there was a look of joy in his words, so angry that Zhen Jili trembled. It seems that it is no accident that the name of the eldest lady and eldest son of the Zhen family who is unfilial should spread all over Jiangning City.
In "The Great Dai Li Ji Ben Ming", "women have seven goes", and "disobedience to parents" is ranked first, that is, disobedience to parents. No matter what reason Zhen Jili moved the idea of divorcing his wife, it is completely in line with moral norms.
Zhen Feng had doubts in his heart, on weekdays, the eldest lady Wyeth is the most filial to her elders, and the same is true for Brother Bang, who often goes to the big daddy's room to play and talk, among the children of this generation, Brother Bang is the closest to the big daddy, how could he do such a stupid thing?
Zhen Feng wanted to find out, but the small courtyard of the ancestral hall was guarded by the family and could not be entered. Suppose it's a misunderstanding, and you can't solve it if you don't know it. Zhen Feng and Zhen Shuang asked the people around them, hoping to find the reason why Zhen Bang did this, but all the attitudes were one-sided, and they were all scolding the two of them for being unfilial, and their consciences were eaten by dogs, and it seemed that no one knew the truth, and it was not far from a letter of resignation if it went on like this.
"Big brother, I know there's a dog hole behind the ancestral hall, otherwise let's go in and ask the second brother."
The two sneaked around to the back of the ancestral hall, and there was a narrow dog hole in the grass, Zhen Feng couldn't get in, Zhen Shuang said that he just went in and asked. Zhen Feng explained a few words and said, "Third brother, be careful yourself, as long as you ask the reason why the second brother did this, come out quickly, and we will find a way." ”
When Zhen Shuang and Zhen Bang were playing together, it seemed that they had drilled a lot of dog holes, and they knew the situation in the house well. After a while, Zhen Shuang came out of the dog hole.
"Didn't find out, did you?"
"Big brother, don't worry, I'm familiar with this place, it's too easy to hide from being discovered."
The information brought by Zhen Shuang made people feel a little heartwarming and a little sad. It turned out that he discovered a big secret, in the family tree, the higher the name, the sooner he died. After Zhen Bang knew this secret, he hoped that the sick daddy would live a long life, so he added his name in front of the daddy, if he lived for forty or fifty years, the eldest daddy would live for at least another forty or fifty years.
He couldn't tell his father and his elders about this big secret, for fear that it wouldn't work, but for his playmates, he couldn't help but tell his proud work.
Looking at Zhen Shuang's trusting look, Zhen Feng couldn't help asking, "Third brother, do you think this matter is reliable?" Zhen Shuang nodded heavily.
Zhen Feng secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, sometimes ignorance is so warm. This kind of childlike mind can't be believed, but it's so true. The bell must also be tied to the bell, this matter cannot be handled coldly according to common sense and morality, and can only be solved by emotion. And at the moment, he can't find the root cause of the time, after all, the thing was done by Brother Bang, and he himself admitted it, and it is pointless to find who instigated him or framed him at the moment.
Zhen Feng took Zhen Shuang to the old man's courtyard, but there was a family member guarding the door, and he said: I am afraid that the unfilial deeds of my children and grandchildren will make the old man unhappy, so for the sake of the sick body, I will not let the news go in. It's just that Xia Xiaoniang's maid was also at the door, and Zhen Feng smelled a smell of conspiracy at this time.
Zhen Feng straightened his chest, since the key point of the matter was in front of him, it was better to face it directly than to solve it privately. He said to the housekeeper at the gate, "Let's go and say hello to Daddy." ”
Zhen Feng's eyes swept over, and the two little servants just wanted to stop and retracted their hands. Xia Xiaoniang's maid stood at the front door with her eyes high above the ground, looking like she couldn't help me.
Zhen Feng didn't have the heart to deal with a maid, so he stretched out his hand and slapped the maid's head and pushed it away, the maid staggered a few steps, barely keeping her balance and not falling.
Zhen Fengkou let out a "get out", and then pushed the door open and went in. Zhen Shuang glanced at the maid, raised his head and followed the door comfortably, usually evacuated a lot of the grievances of these servants in this push, I didn't expect the eldest brother to be so domineering at this time.
Xia Xiaoniang and Brother Zhi were sitting next to the bed, and the old man was lying half-awake and half-asleep. When Xia Xiaoniang saw Zhen Feng, she flashed a trace of anger and surprise, and quickly returned to calm: "Daddy is going to rest, what is there to wait for tomorrow." ”
"Since we have come to greet Daddy, we are not in a hurry, we just serve and wait on the sidelines. It's just that Xia Xiaoniang is so anxious to get us away, what's the reason? ”
"Daddy's own grandchildren can serve here, how can Daddy rest if there are too many people? When your filial piety is done, hurry back and look at the restaurant. ”
Zhen Feng showed a deep smile towards Zhen Zhi: "According to Xia Xiaoniang, it should be the eldest grandson of the eldest father to serve it, but it is most appropriate, why only see Brother Zhi, but not Brother Bang?" ”
Xia Xiaoniang was slightly flustered: "Brother Bang'er is at his father's place, and he will naturally come to serve his father after the incident." ”
"Stick brother......" A hoarse and low call sounded on the bed.
Zhen Feng hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Big Daddy, Brother Bang has found a secret to your longevity, and he is working hard to make this dream come true!" ”
The old man laughed, coughed a few times with laughter, and said: "Brother Bang knows how to mess around, my old bones, about to rot wood, it is a blessing to see you grow up safely, how can there be any secret to longevity." ”
"Dad, it may be that Brother Feng has heard something wrong, and it is good to have this filial piety. It's our blessing that you have a good rest. Xia Xiaoniang hurriedly took over: "Brother Feng, you made your eldest father cough again, and you still don't let the old man have a good rest?" ”
Xia Xiaoniang's panic and protection made Zhen Feng guess that it would be strange if there was no Xia Xiaoniang hiding behind her back to add fuel to the fire. As long as the time is delayed for an hour or half a day, once a letter of resignation is put into writing, no matter how warm the truth of the matter is, it will be difficult to recover, Xia Xiaoniang gets what she wants, and the truth will not matter at that time.
It's a race against time. Zhen Feng smiled and said, "Xia Xiaoniang, Big Daddy is happy." Isn't it, Big Daddy? Although the second brother is not very old, he hopes that the eldest father will live a long life and live longer than Nanshan. Recently, he has discovered a mystery and is fighting with the third uncle in the ancestral hall. ”
"Oh? So mysterious, what kind of mystery can make this old man live a long life? ”
Zhen Feng made a look, and Zhen Shuang said crisply: "Big Daddy, the second brother has really discovered a mystery recently, he has summed up a law from the genealogy, the further the name, the longer he lives." And he also talked to his classmates at the private school, and it was all like this. ”
"Well, haha, it seems to be really reasonable, it's hard to be filial to Brother Bang."
"Yes, the second brother has always liked the big daddy the most, so he changed his name to the front of the big daddy's name, he said that the big daddy is behind him, and in another forty or fifty years, he can still honor and accompany the eldest daddy for forty or fifty years."
The old man's eyes were suddenly cloudy, he raised his head to look at Zhen Shuang, then looked at Xia Xiaoniang, stood up, and said, "Help me go to the ancestral hall." ”
