Chapter 4 Uprooted
Mrs. Yang is the daughter of Yang Da, a nobleman of the Sui Dynasty, and after coming to Wenshui County, Bingzhou, she is not familiar with the place, and it is difficult to integrate into the life circle of the local villagers.
Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang, the sons of the Xiangli clan, the ex-wife of Wu Shiyu, have grown up and are ready to separate the family, so they want to expel the Yang mother and daughter in order to occupy more family property. The brothers contacted their cousins Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun and their sister-in-law Shan, and after discussion, decided to unite to bully and exclude the Yang mother and daughter.
The specific method is: first Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang bribed and co-opted Mrs. Yang's housekeepers and servants, and then Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun persuaded Yang's mother and daughter to leave Wenshui, and if they didn't listen, then the Shan family insulted Yang and forced them to leave.
The weather was getting colder, Wu Yue got up and went outside to see that the grass was frosty, remembered the words in the Book of Changes, "Frost, ice to the ground", stepped on the white frost with red embroidered shoes, and stepped on it hard.
There is a Dongyan Temple near Nanxu Village, Wu Yue likes the quiet environment and mysterious atmosphere there, and often goes to play, and on this day he asks the eldest sister and the third sister to go to the temple to play together.
Mrs. Yang was doing needlework at home, and Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun came in and said, "Auntie, the little nephew is polite." Mrs. Yang greeted her with a pleasant face.
Wu Weiliang said straightforwardly: "My aunt is a person who understands, so I will pour beans into the bamboo tube - not a single grain will be left." You are your uncle's stepfamily, it is not appropriate to live here for a long time, you should go back to your mother's house. This is the property of the samurai family, and the children are all grown up and are about to be separated. ”
Mrs. Yang was shocked and said, "Aren't the three sisters of the Wu family the Wu family?" ”
Wu Weiliang said: "Niangzi and Langjun are different, women have three subordinates and four virtues, unmarried from their father, married from their husband, and from their husband's death. Today, the lady has no father and will marry her husband's family, and the aunt has no husband and no children, so she can only return to her mother's family. Besides, the woman did not grant the right to land, and the property of the samurai family should be inherited by Lang Jun. ”
Mrs. Yang said: "My nephew is rude, your uncle has just passed away, do you dislike my mother and daughter?" Wu Huaiyun said: "The little nephew doesn't dare to dislike it, just act according to the customs of Wenshui, if you rely on Lang Jun, we have nothing to say." ”
Mrs. Yang was displeased and asked the housekeeper to send off the guests. The butler had been bribed, and ran over and said respectfully to the two, "Erlang, please." Madame was angry, and Erlang was right. ”
After Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun left, Mrs. Yang was sullen, and the three sisters came back happily from outside. Seeing that his mother was unhappy, they asked the reason one after another, and learned that the Wu brothers were going to drive their mother away, and the friends were stunned. Wu Yue said: "It must be Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang's ghosts, I'll look for them." ”
Wu Yue ran to Wu Yuanqing's house and said, "Big brother, do you know about my cousin driving us away?" Wu Yuanqing was stunned and said, "I know, they are right." ”
"Wow, it turns out that you have already colluded to bully our mother and daughter." Wu Yue said: "You are not allowed to do this in the future, you make me unable to pass, and I will also make you unable to pass." ”
Wu Yuanqing said angrily: "Gepanma, you black labor!" Do you think that labor and management are really afraid of you, in the past, Aya (father) took care of you in every possible way, and labor and management also let you, and now who else protects you? ”
Wu Yoo was so frightened that he began to cry, remembering the benefits of Yaye (his father) when he was alive, and the more he cried, the more sad he became. Wu Yue came home crying and cried, hugging and crying with Mrs. Yang.
After Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun went back, Shanshi asked about the conversation, and the two were truthful, Shanshi sneered and said: "You are Xiucai, how can you expel her if you talk like this?" I'm at my mercy. ”
Although Nashan's surname is good, his appearance is not good, he is stout and solid, with a short figure, broom eyebrows, buffalo eyes, snarky speech, and good at scolding.
The next day, Shan's came to Mrs. Yang's house in a rage, and when he saw Wu Shun playing outside, he scolded: "You are a cousin, don't get out." Wu Shun glared angrily and said, "Why did you give up treatment?" ”
Mrs. Yang rushed out and said, "Who is scolding people like this? Who is that? Not educated at all. ”
Shanshi straightened his chest and replied: "It's me, the niece and daughter-in-law whose face is like a flower with dew, and the jade tree shines in the backyard!" ”
Mrs. Yang said: "It's not your fault that you're ugly, but it's not right to be scary." Shanshi said angrily: "Don't be embarrassed, raise you and call your aunt, you are actually a slut of a thousand people!" ”
Mrs. Yang trembled with anger and said, "You were kicked in the head by a donkey." He rushed forward and slapped Shan's and staggered Shan's feet. Shanshi was furious, grabbed Mrs. Yang and tore it up, and shouted: "Shovel you stinky watch!" Wu Shun came over to fight, and was also pushed to the ground.
The housekeeper rushed to tear the two apart when he heard the noise, but saw that their hair was unkempt and their clothes were torn, and they were still scolding each other.
"Stay X eight, two hundred and five, crooked melons and bad dates, stupid hats."
"Little X, your left face is underpumped, your right face is underkicked, the donkey sees the donkey kick, and the pig sees the pig stepping on it."
"Fuck Nima, you are the best of the scum, the best of the beasts."
"If you are cheap, you are invincible, and I will send you two words: get out!"
"X your sister."
"X, you're the first to be on board."
This scolding war shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods, the old bustard covered his ears, the philistines frowned when they heard it, the sparrows flew over, and the chickens and dogs were restless. When this scolding reached the unitary, Mrs. Yang was finally defeated, and the Shan clan won the honorary title of the scolding champion!
The housekeeper pushed Mrs. Yang into the house and said, "She's like this, shell lang yawns—a stinky mouth, don't be like her." ”
Shanshi is still scolding outside: "You are a cousin, if you don't get out of a day, I can't scold you for a day!" ”
Mrs. Yang wanted to rush out again, but the housekeeper held her down, turned her head and shouted, "You don't have to say a word, let's go." "Wu Weiliang came over and pulled the Shan clan back.
Mrs. Yang hugged her three daughters and cried.
After that, the good family came over every once in a while to curse Mrs. Yang, and the martial brothers gloated and watched coldly. Mrs. Yang was helpless, and seeing that the neighbors were also oriented towards the Shan's, she had to discuss the way with her daughter.
Wu Yue saw that A-Niang was in pain, so he led A-Niang to Dongyan Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and asked the master in the temple for advice on how to get rid of suffering. Mrs. Yang poured coins into the merit box, worshiped the Buddha devoutly, prayed and made wishes, and then talked to Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Shi said: "Life is a sea of suffering, there are life suffering, old suffering, sickness, death, resentment and hatred, love and parting from suffering, asking for suffering, the five yin are blazing and bitter, your suffering is resentment and suffering, because you created karma in your previous life, so you have this suffering!" ”
He also said, "If you want to get rid of this suffering, you must take refuge in the Three Jewels, cut off the ignorant afflictions of greed, hatred, and naivety, and practice diligently." I have a great compassion mantra here, which can get rid of all suffering, you copy a copy of it, and recite it every day, and all the troubles and horrors will disappear naturally! ”
Mrs. Yang clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, good and good!" Thank you very much. "Mrs. Shi took pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Wu Yue helped to copy it, and it was done in one meal. Seeing that the Great Compassion Mantra was copied neatly, the master exclaimed: "The little benefactor has deep roots in wisdom, and the Buddha is not shallow, and the Bodhisattva will bless you." ”
When she returned home, Mrs. Yang recited the Great Compassion Mantra every day, and her mood really improved. In the face of the curses and coercion of the Shan clan and the martial brothers, Mrs. Yang adopted an attitude of seeing through, letting go, being at ease, and following fate, pitying them, forgiving them, and staying away from them.
The cold wind was howling, Mrs. Yang and her daughters were roasting around the stove, Mrs. Yang suddenly sighed and said: "The tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, what a beautiful scene Yeye Yangda was back then, he ran the eastern capital Luoyang thirty years ago, and he was the deputy supervisor of the eastern capital." Wu Yue asked: "But my daughter heard that Chang'an and Luoyang were built by Mr. Yu Wenkai." ”
Mrs. Yang said: "It is true that Yu Wenkai is an architectural genius, but your grandfather is indeed the hero of the construction of Luoyang, most of the palaces and houses in Luoyang were planned and built by your grandfather, and later he followed Emperor Yang to conquer Liaodong and was promoted to Zuo Guanglu Doctor." ”
Wu Yue nodded and said, "Wow, Wai Weng is really amazing, my daughter must go to Luoyang to have a look in the future." ”
Mrs. Yang said again: "Hey, because of the change of dynasty, the Yang family has declined. Now it's just a finger count, only my uncle's ** family is still incense and can be relied on. I heard that my cousin Yang Shidao is currently Taichangqing, and his wife is Princess Changguang. The three daughters listened quietly.
"Princess Changguang is my matchmaker with Shiyi. I don't want gold and silver to break the bridge now, I just want to spend my life in peace, there is no way, there is only this way, we will go to Chang'an to join my cousin in the spring of next year. Mrs. Yang finally made up her mind. The three daughters had long been yearning for the imperial capital of Chang'an, and they all cheered.
Mrs. Yang then began to arrange for her departure from Nanxu Village, first writing to Yang Shidao, describing her husband's death and wanting to return to her parents' home to visit relatives.
Then she took out the housekeeper, secretly collected the gold and silver, hid it in a place unknown to others, and gathered a few faithful servants to handle all kinds of affairs, and left the place that made her sad after the New Year.
Just after the Spring Festival of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Mrs. Yang left Wenshui with her daughter and went to Chang'an to join her relatives in her mother's family. The Yang mother and daughter rode in a carriage, followed by several cronies, and the journey was unimpeded, with no trace of thieves, and safely arrived at Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Empire.
