Chapter 58: Antecedents and Consequences
Liu Yuanzu was the founder of the Ming Dynasty Liu Ji, the sincere earl of this lineage, to his father's generation, he fell into the body of the big house.
Although the earl title was not related to him, because his father Liu Changjiu was an official in Yingtianfu, although he was later promoted to Jingshi, he was inevitably struggling in his studies, so he was allowed to stay in Yingtianfu to study. In this way, he naturally had frequent and close contacts with the Sincerity Bofu.
During the Zhengde period, Liu Chang was promoted to the left of the General Administration Department, and the official residence was four. In a hurry, Wuzong died, and Sejong Zhu Houxi inherited the throne.
The court began to argue endlessly because of "succession to succession" or "succession without succession".
The young Zhu Houxi was naturally reluctant to turn his head and call others his father, and Liu Chang also completely forgot why his ancestors were killed, and with a spirit of sacrificing life and death to follow the teachings of "Etiquette", he unswervingly stood on the opposite side of the new emperor. Because the official residence was not reprimanded by the rod, he witnessed the iron and bloody wrist of the new emperor, and witnessed a group of Qingliu officials flowing into a river of blood outside Zuoshun Gate, wailing all over the sky.
Liu Yuan was only eighteen years old at the time, and he was enjoying the glory brought to him by his family, drinking and singing, fresh clothes and angry horses, and suddenly heard the news that his father was sick on the couch, like being struck by lightning.
Liu Chang was disheartened and has been ill ever since.
Liu Yuan had an epiphany about the previous absurdity after this incident, and he was admitted to the Xiucai in one fell swoop in the third year of Jiajing.
On that day, the person who reported the good news left Liu's mansion, and Liu Chang passed away. The death of his father brought a huge blow to Liu Yuan. He has no intention of officialdom, and only takes his wife to visit famous mountains and rivers and visit famous people and Hongru.
A few years ago, I accidentally came to Xianan Village and settled down in the ink studio courtyard.
If it weren't for the death of the uncle of Tianfu, when he was dying, he would entrust his grandson to Liu Yuan. He even completely forgot what the Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu disturbed.
In order for the Liu family's bloodline to last, and for the sincerity of the uncle, he must return to the court that made his father disheartened back then, and shelter the Liu family from the wind and rain.
Liu Yuan sighed, stepped out of the door again, and slowly returned to the small pavilion, just as the north wind swept by, and the branches and plum snow flew back one after another.
The years are so quiet, how can they pass by for a long time.
Liu Yuan closed his eyes for a moment, then raised his hand and beckoned, "Let's go back to the Karma Hall." ”
"Yes." Shen Kang and the others saluted one after another, got up, and were about to enter the door with the division commander when there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind them.
"Two Shen Xiaolang, Mrs. Shen beckoned you to go home!"
Shen Kang turned his head to see that it was Liu Yuan's little servant, he frowned slightly, bowed and asked, "Little brother, what's wrong?" ”
The little girl pointed to the door and said, "A little girl is waiting for you outside the door, saying that someone has come to your house to make trouble, and Mrs. Shen called you two to go back and confront each other." ”
"Wang Er!" Shen Chang's eyes froze, panicked for a moment, and turned to look at Shen Kang.
Shen Kang is really impatient with a villain like Wang Er, he has nothing to do all day long, except for finding faults, he has no other hobbies!
He gritted his teeth, turned to a calm smile, arched his hand and said, "Thank you, little brother." After speaking, he turned to Liu Yuanchang and said: "Sir, my father and the village chief went to measure the fields together, and there are only the eldest sister and mother in the family, and the students are really not at ease." ”
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "You go back and take a look, I will give you a day off tomorrow, and if there is any trouble, I will ask someone to come to me." ”
Shen Kang and Shen Chang hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, sir." ”
"Let's go."
"Yes." The two got up and went out the door.
Outside the door of the ink shop, I saw Yang Siniang wearing a thin tender green jacket, the neckline of the small jacket was slightly hairy, and the color of the clothes seemed to be washed white.
Her little face was red from the cold, she sniffled and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the hem of Shen Kang's clothes, and said with some milk: "Third brother Shen, there is a splash who went to your house to sprinkle and injured his aunt, his aunt's waist was twisted, and he couldn't move, and his mother was accompanying his aunt... Sister Ning asked me to come and find you back. ”
Hearing that his mother's waist was twisted, Shen Kang and Shen Chang's faces changed, and Shen Kang hurriedly asked, "Is my mother bleeding?" ”
"No, no." Yang Siniang replied.
Shen Chang gritted his teeth and shouted: "What the hell am I doing to save him!" As he spoke, he slapped himself hard, stomped his foot hatefully, and ran in the direction of home without looking back.
Shen Kang subconsciously pulled up Yang Siniang and followed.
Yang Siniang is young and her legs are short, so she is pulled by Shen Kang like this, it is better to say that she is dragging it... She stepped on something deep, shallow, and didn't know what she stepped on, but she accidentally slipped under her foot, and her small body fell to the ground with her little body tilted sideways.
Shen Kang ran out a few steps by habit, and found that Siniang had fallen, so he hurriedly ran back, picked up the child with both hands, and asked with concern while fluttering the snow on her body: "Siniang fell and hurt, it's all my fault." ”
Yang Siniang was originally aggrieved, her eyes were red, listening to his question, her tears couldn't stop flowing down, and she said in a milky voice: "It's Siniang who is not good, Brother Shen don't care about me, go back to see your aunt." ”
Shen Kang was angry and funny, raised his hand and rubbed her hair: "Silly boy, how could I leave you." As he spoke, he squatted and turned around, turned his back to her, and said, "Come up." ”
Yang Siniang looked at Shen Kang's thin back with teary eyes, and for a while, this thin young man seemed to be extremely tall. She blushed unconsciously, and two short little arms went around his neck.
Shen Kang crossed her legs with both arms, clenched his fists downward, tried to avoid touching the girl's hidden parts, and used all the strength of his body to carry her up.
Unexpectedly, this little girl is too light, it seems that she is not thirty pounds, right?
He quickened his pace and said, "You are too thin, you will often come to my house for dinner in the future, and I will ask my mother to make you something to eat." ”
Yang Siniang's little face was red, her eyes were closed, and she said as if she was embarrassed: "Hmm." ”
Shen Kang asked strangely, "Siniang, what's your big name?" ”
Yang Siniang's shy voice was like a mosquito calling, and she said in a low voice: "My name is Lan You." ”
"That's nice." Shen Kang smiled heartily.
Yang Siniang said in a low voice: "Brother..."
"Huh?"
Yang Siniang leaned her head on his back and said in a low voice, "Don't tell others." ”
Shen Kang's body was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned in shock. Although he is still taking steps, his steps are getting heavier and heavier.
He treats Yang Siniang as a child, but in Yang Siniang's eyes, he is an older brother of the same age as her.
In this feudal era, a woman's name was generally replaced by a certain name, so outsiders did not know the woman's name. Only after marriage will the husband call the woman's name, so there is a question of asking the name in the ceremony.
He made an unintentional move, and he rashly asked the name of other girls, how could this not cause people to misunderstand.
No matter how perverted Shen Kang is, he will not have an undeserved affection for a child, and hurriedly said: "It's my brother, I shouldn't ask Siniang's name, I'll buy candy to make amends for you another day." ”
Yang Siniang said: "Hehe, my brother is panicking, we are not the children of the old man's family, what's the matter with asking a name." She continued: "I think the name is too petty, so I don't want anyone else to know about it." ”
Shen Kang thought to himself, he had usually read many books handed down from the Ming Dynasty, not to mention "The Golden Bottle...", there are also novels such as three words and two beats. The women in those stories, widows remarrying, wives cheating, and private lovers abound, how did they get to themselves and be terrified when they asked for a name, hey......
