Section 7: The Two Heavens of Joy and Sorrow (Part II)
In terms of pension, you push me, but in fact, no one cares, so that the old man works hard to raise a group of children, but in the end he is angry and starves to death, which is not uncommon in this land from ancient times to the present. Ning began to live at the age of eleven, supporting his family and serving his mother, guarding the door, strong and firm, filial piety and fame, touching tears, even the high-ranking Yingzhou officials deigned to ask for rewards.
When Lao Lao Zhao heard about it, he immediately went to propose. Such a good woman deserves to be married and loved. More importantly, such a virtuous person should be favored by God and should be able to give birth to sons.
Life was extremely hard, and a medicine hole dragged down, a landlord came to ask for relatives, and was willing to support and heal the elderly, the neighbors thought that the Ning family would happily agree, but there was an accident.
The clever matchmaker who can say that the dead man is alive can't make sense, Lao Lao Zhao personally came to the door and said that he was not a womanizer, and his wife was mostly because of the heirs, and the wife who did not have children, he did not blame him, and promised that this was the last time to marry, he was old, and he tossed enough, if he couldn't give birth to a son, he also accepted his fate, anyway, there are two daughters, and he is not completely desperate.
The Ning family couldn't stand the old Zhao Xincheng, so he actually made a move that surprised the world, and personally went to Zhaozhuang to inspect and confirm the truth before agreeing. From this, you can see Ning's distinct character.
Maybe it's really filial piety. In the next year, Lao Zhao was born, and it became the status guarantee, pride and spiritual sustenance of the Ning family in the Zhao family. With this experience, you can imagine the importance of Zhao Dayou and his grandson in Ning's heart. Zhao Yue's birth was not unusually healthy, and once again broke the Zhao family's single biography, he was definitely a favorite in the eyes of the Ning family, but don't be too happy too early.
is close and reliable, and then there is the housekeeper Lao Liu.
If you ask the housekeeper how loyal he is to Cangzhao, he can get a general idea by just looking at it. The mother-in-law of the Liu family has three characteristics: illiterate, honest, and strong.
Why do it?
The dangers of dishonesty will not be mentioned. For the other two points, take the ancestral precept of the Liu family and say: "It is enough for our family to marry an honest, strong, capable and capable mother-in-law." A woman who is smart and literate will be unwilling to be subordinate, and it is easy to have a crooked heart, and a mother-in-law has a crooked heart and does bad things, which will ruin the deep affection accumulated by the Liu family and the main family, and she will never dare to be willful. ”
Ho is a typical example of these three characteristics.
She is more than 1.7 meters tall, according to Zhao Yue's eyes, her appearance is at least in the middle and upper, and her figure is as strong and sexy as a European and American woman, but according to the standards of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not beautiful and difficult to marry. He has a soft voice, hearty and smiling, reflecting her gentle and sunny character, when she was a girl, she was famous for her diligence and ability, and she was a model worker for women in Zhaozhuang, so Lao Liu did not hesitate to marry.
Because Zhao Yue is too edible, He became half a nurse.
If you run into Liu Tong and Zhao Yue, they are hungry. She will always starve her son regardless of who has been before or after, and feeds Zhao Yue first, even if Liu Tong is so hungry that she cries, but Zhao Yue is not too hungry. She is not stupid, on the contrary, although she is illiterate and shrewd, she has her own intelligence, look at the three capable sons who brought up, you know that she is by no means a stupid person.
She did this for only one reason: to uphold the loyalty of the Liu family.
Just as there is always a ruffian hooligan in a society divided into classes, there is never a shortage of clever people in this land, you can see if you look at the rampant counterfeits and shoddy goods, and there is never a shortage of traitors who bully the weak and are ungrateful. Modern people can't imagine the loyalty of people at this time, so they can't understand why the god of war Yue Fei and his son are willing to be sent to death by a few cards.
sentencing life imprisonment to a real man who defends the raped wife and his own human rights and dignity, making the unlucky law-abiding even more unlucky, striking at the legitimate defenders, and tactfully giving the legislator and judge who is bold to the strong criminal; Modern people who love themselves, love their beautiful fathers, love their beautiful money, love beautiful women, and are at ease confusing right and wrong, deducting hats, pretending to be public and private, and playing with the concepts of policies and regulations and official procedures to trick people, cannot understand what lofty beliefs, revolutionary will, and heroic sacrifices are, and it is normal for them to confidently deny Huang Jiguang with "human science" and mock Liu Hulan with an "objective historical attitude".
Born in a landlord's family, Zhao Yue, who pulled out his thinking from science for the first time, and angrily examined and reflected on the society of later generations, lacked not milk, but this precious affection. If it is a good intention, it must be taken and maintained. The Liu family's silly loyalty, sincerity and simplicity were so precious to Zhao Yue, which made him discover the highlights of this era for the first time.
He secretly swore that no matter how Liu Tong jerked me in the future, I would forgive him and try my best to keep him happy for the rest of his life.
Since experiencing a few hungry Liu Tong feeding himself, Zhao Yue confirmed some things, he likes He's hug, but he no longer refuses to drink He's milk, and he doesn't like other women's milk.
Mother Zhang had no choice but to try to use goat's milk and cow's milk instead. Zhao Yue pretended to like dairy products with less than the level of craftsmanship, and he used to be a good-mouthed foodie, and through some nutritional knowledge known to everyone in later generations, he deliberately showed a high interest in the eggs and fruits that his mother ate. Zhang's soul naturally made chicken cakes, juices and the like that children could eat, and asked Lao Zhao to get honey from the forest. Seeing that the effect was good, I told He Shi again. Liu Tong also mixed with this treatment and improved his nutrition.
Liu Guan's twins are a bit interesting.
Originally, the first born was called Liu Wu, and the second born was called Liu Wen. In the paranoid Great Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature and light martial arts, the Liu family named Wu in front of Wen, because this is a dangerous border place, and the people are strong and difficult to manage, and there are fights in the township from time to time. But later I found out that the kid born later was lively, more athletic, and more fond of force, so he changed his name again.
The two boys are now 18 years old. Liu Wen can be regarded as both civil and martial, but he was reprimanded by his father as a man who is not a man of letters, and both of them are half-lost, but fortunately, one thing is that he is respectful, diligent, careful and calm, and sent to protect Zhao Gonglian, who is studying abroad. The eldest son, Zhao Lian, is naturally the next head of the Zhao family. Therefore, in fact, the Zhao and Liu families regard Liu Wen as the next housekeeper to cultivate.
Liu Wu has a fierce temperament, it is said that like his grandfather, he is very powerful, he can't sit still, and he is mixed with the same type of Zhao Xin and Zhao Yue, he seems to be very busy, Zhao Yue rarely sees it, and he doesn't know what his father is in charge of.
The third son Liu Da is 16 years old, Zhao Yue has only seen it once, it is said that he is smart and capable, and he is most loved by the old Liu and his family, and now he is doing business with Ma Dacai, the owner of the second village of Zhaojiazhuang.
Yes, Zhao Zhuang has two owners, and he is not surnamed Zhao.
The owner of Ma Erzhuang was originally a landlord and a small businessman. He is also a native of Cangzhou, and has a family heirloom land, which is less than 500 acres compared to the Zhao family, but the family population is simple, and it is not like the Zhao family, who has always been responsible for supporting the tenant farmers who rent land. The grandparents of the two families only knew each other because of the proximity of their residence and land. The reason why he became a member of Zhao Zhuang was because of the 500 acres of land. Because in the whole Cangzhou, there is a powerful and powerful landowner, to be precise, the Cui family, a super big landlord.
Cangcui, it is said that it was handed down by one of the five surnames of the Qiwangwang clan in the Sui and Tang dynasties, inherited for thousands of years, with a profound heritage, and did not know where to move from there, rooted in Cangzhou, starting from Qingchi County, to annex the land of the victims' homes and grew rapidly, only in Cangzhou Mansion Qingchi accounted for three or four percent of the land, and it is said that there are more in other counties of Cangzhou.
The Ma family is nothing to the Cui family. And his family's land is precisely surrounded by the land that the Cui family is constantly annexing. How can the domineering Cui family tolerate others being caught in their own and fighting for water and land with themselves, so they naturally try to annex it by any means.
At that time, the grandfather and the old housekeeper were still there, and there were only about 700 households in Zhaozhuang, all of which were under the constant threat and damage of Liaokou, and heard that the Zhao family sheltered the tenants and could fight in the name of goodness, and slowly gathered together to survive in the past few decades, so the people of Zhaozhuang have always been united and united.
This is also the way of survival set by the ancestors of Cangzhao to take root in this war-torn land.
And Dad and Liu Guan are young and vigorous and dare to act at an age, successful in martial arts, famous for their strong and brave, not afraid of fighting Liaokou, they have resisted Liao at a young age and killed more than ten enemies, and they have won the support of Zhuangzhong people. The two of them had long seen the Cui family's tyranny and aggressiveness, and they were not angry.
Dad just married the most beautiful and virtuous wife in Cangzhou, and it was when he was proud and satisfied, when he met the Cui family, a steward who led people to find trouble and bully the Ma family's land, he deliberately intervened and said a few fair words, and was naturally bullied by the arrogant Cui family steward. Where is the dad who is looking for trouble, he is angry, and immediately fights back.
You can't do this without fighting back.
For the bully, whether it is the government or the local tyrant and the gentry, the more you are afraid of backing down, the more arrogant and bullying he will be. Barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes. Dare to fight to the death of the net is the eternal survival of the weak.
The important thing is that Dad obviously doesn't gloat when he sees other people's bad luck, or numbly looks at the lively selfish idiots, knowing that protecting the rights and interests of others is often to protect his own rights and interests, and seeing the strong greed of the Cui family, he feels that if he doesn't care, this time it is the Ma family, and when the Ma family is finished, the next one is the Zhao family next door, and now helping the Ma family is helping himself.
The Liu family has always been the only one. If it is beforehand, it may be necessary to remind the Lord to be cautious. If there is a disaster, it is a big deal to take the blame for the master's family, and he is not afraid of death, but he is also afraid of accompanying the master's family to fight to the death.
The two sides fought fiercely. The Cui family steward and more than a dozen evil slave thugs were beaten by the father and Liu Guan and fled in embarrassment, went back to cry and reported to the master's house, and brought more than 100 thugs to take revenge. As a result, Zhao Zhuang people were furious, and they all went out together, beating the other party and fleeing with disabilities.
The Cui family was surprised by the lack of force, but they didn't pay attention to it. They have a lot of money and a government background, so they naturally asked the colluding government to take action, and the fast catch that was promised a heavy reward came to take people, but they were closed. Zhao Zhuang treated them as Liao Kou who entered the country to loot, closed the Zhuang Gate, and met the battle with a knife and a bow.
The leader of the team just threatened a few words. The old man, who was no longer very in charge of things, was furious, except for the fear that he would not have a son to inherit the lineage in his life, he didn't pay attention to anything else, and roared angrily at the head of the city that day: "Right and wrong, your government knows what is right and wrong." Bully my Zhao family, Lao Tzu can bear it. However, Lao Tzu only has this one single seedling, whoever wants to arrest my son and convict him, I will kill his whole family. ”
The people of Zhao Zhuang were angry: Ma Le is B, the government is a soft egg to fight against Liaokou, but it is fierce to us who pay taxes and food to feed you, something.
Roaring: "Whoever cuts us off our way of life, we will destroy his whole people." ”
