Chapter XVII: Divorce

Time flies very slowly, so slow that when I wake up, everything is still as it is, there is no computer, no WeChat, no high-speed transportation, the days seem to be frozen, every morning when I get up, Xiao Zheng still practices pen power for an hour, after eating, he takes Cai Yong's three books, and sometimes takes rhubarb and Ah Hua to wander leisurely on the riverside of the river; Sometimes facing the cliff alone, watching the birds fly across the sky, and let the mood rise and fall with the mountains; Sometimes walking among the hills and ravines, I feel the climbing of the roots on the stone wall; Sometimes I put the scroll under my head, hold a straw stick in my mouth and stilt my legs, listen to the sound of flowers blooming in my ears, and silently experience the artistic conception mentioned by Mr. Slowly, the comprehension of the three books also integrated into his mind, Xiao Zheng felt that the indescribable things in his mind took root and sprouted in his mind along with the feeling of nature's creation, and these perceptions collided, merged, and penetrated with the modern knowledge in his mind.

After going back every day, Mr. did not ask Xiao Zheng to practice writing many words, but let Xiao Zheng pick up the pen when he was interested, let the thoughts flow to the arm and the tip of the pen, the power of the pen is like a cloud and water swaying on the paper, every time at this time, even Xiao Zheng himself feels that the words written are obviously more agile and elegant, seeing Xiao Zheng practicing words, Mr. came to stroke his beard and commented on his words in his spare time, at this time Mr. and Xiao Zheng discussed the gestures and penmanship, My calligraphy has also made great progress under the advice of Mr.

It's just that once, Xiao Zheng copied two pieces of Mr. Feibai on a whim, and was known by Mr. After a mess, he warned Xiao Zheng to write other people's words carefully and be careful of being discounted, Mr. means to prevent Xiao Zheng from writing before forming his own bones, copying other people's words will mess up his own chapter with gestures, don't you just write a word, as for it, although Xiao Zheng is slanderous in his heart, he does not dare to disobey Mr.'s meaning, so he can only restrain his mind and specialize in studying Song style, with the extension of time, His own calligraphy is also becoming more and more sophisticated, which makes Mr. Xiao Zheng surprised after seeing Xiao Zheng's font refinement, and praised Xiao Zheng for his calligraphy talent.

One day at noon, Xiao Zheng came home and saw a carriage parked at the door, the carriage was wrapped with brass on the wheel, and the hubs were covered with copper nails, which were very luxuriously decorated, and the coachman was sitting on the wheel and napping. Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, those who can use this kind of carriage in this era are generally either rich or expensive to be worthy. I was just about to enter the door with questions, but Xiao's mother walked out of the courtyard, so she asked Xiao's mother: "Auntie, are there any distinguished guests at home?" I saw Xiao's mother say to Xiao Zheng with a complicated expression: "This carriage is from Jin'er's mother-in-law's family", Xiao Zheng felt sour in his heart after hearing this, and stood at the door for a while, fortunately, his mentality has matured, and it was only then that he understood why Jin'er was so close to himself for so many days. After sorting out their thoughts and walking into the yard, I saw a few village women standing in the courtyard, everyone chatting together, nothing more than the customs of the village, Mr. has always had a good character, come over to help make up the popularity, and at the same time ask for a few happy money, everyone saw Xiao Zheng and also made fun of him a few words, asking him when he would marry a daughter-in-law, Xiao Zheng only answered perfunctorily, and was ready to go to his courtyard with great interest.

Before entering the door of the small courtyard, he suddenly heard the angry scolding from the always peaceful gentleman in the house, so Xiao Zheng turned his head and saw a woman sitting kneeling in the middle of the main hall who couldn't see her age, saying that she couldn't tell her age because the fat powder on the woman's face was too thick to see her age, and the woman had a flattering smile on her face, holding a handkerchief in her hand and swaying around, and a smell of fat powder could be smelled in the yard. I saw that she looked at the angry gentleman carefully, but he was not angry with a smiling face, and the old gentleman suppressed his anger and said to the woman: "You go and pass the word to me, and bring you to the old man back, just as the old man is blind and knows their Tang family, I never expected that his Tang family is such a powerful person, and now he is just a watchdog of others and is arrogant, and his family can do this kind of ungrateful thing." Okay, okay, okay, since her family treats the old man's daughter like this, it's not that my daughter can't get married, hurry up and get out of me with your things! Cough, cough..."Li Wenbo suddenly coughed a little short of breath because he was too angry.

The woman sitting in the middle hall rolled her eyes, glanced at Mr. carefully, her body dodged back, her face just squeezed out a hint of a smirk, and the powder on her face fell downward, only to see her accompanied by a smile and said: "Mr. Li, you have a lot of old people, don't be like me a matchmaker, last year's little grandson of the old woman's family had a stomach, or your old man cured it, the old woman is too late to be grateful to you, I have always respected your old man now." But you have also seen that I am also entrusted by others to be loyal. His Tang family has now climbed the high branch of Qi Wang Yuanji, his son is your original uncle-in-law who is the head of the palace, and now his family is also a person who has attained the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and his Tang family is now high-eyed, looking at your family Jin'er is not pleasing to the eye, and now I want to withdraw from the marriage. To tell the truth, the old woman also looks down on this kind of person from the heart, there is a way that would rather demolish ten temples, not break a marriage, his family is now also a big family, that is, the county master is also a guest of his family, at that time, the old woman I received this kind of happy event and never thought that his family would one day withdraw from the family, now his family is our small family how can we afford to provoke it, and it is really not good old woman, I will run errands and then find a good family for Jin'er It is not a difficult matter, you see if you are old and endure letting your daughter suffer a little grievance, Took this divorce paperwork? ”

I saw Mr. Li said angrily: "What kind of bastard words did you say, did you take how much of the benefits of his Tang family and ran here to dismantle this marriage, even if the old man is blind, you let his Tang family come to the door in person, do you dare to come...", the quarrel in the house alarmed the neighbors outside, a few legs were so fast that they ran to their house to tell their own men about Jin'er's withdrawal, and after a while, more than a dozen men walked in, and a few babies stopped reading, and they were also watching over there, and some of the slightly sensible children had anger on their faces.

When the people in the courtyard finally understood what was going on, they began to spit on the Tang family, and the matchmaker saw that the momentum was not right, so she quickly got up and said goodbye to her husband: "Mr. Li, since you have accepted this return marriage, the old woman will not stay for a long time, and you will be angry, I will leave immediately." Saying that the matchmaker didn't wait for Mr. Li to speak before she got up to say goodbye, she just arrived at the door, she was surrounded by people in the yard, two angry arms and sleeves were ready to hit her, so frightened that the matchmaker couldn't stop bowing to the people around her and saying good things, just when everyone was pushing the matchmaker, the door of the side room next to it suddenly opened and Jin'er walked out from inside.

Xiao Zheng saw that Jin'er's eyes were a little red, and he paused for a while and went down the steps and said to everyone: "Don't beat her, everyone, what does a matchmaker have to do with her?" Seeing this, the matchmaker said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, what does this matter have to do with me as a matchmaker." I saw Jin'er say to everyone: "Folks, you also saw it today, the Tang family, that is, my husband's family who has not passed the door has withdrawn from the marriage, and now his family is powerful and powerful, and I feel that his status is high, my family is not worthy of his family, Jin'er is unladylike, I admit this loss." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to the matchmaker: "I took the document of the divorce, and I accepted all the things that were withdrawn, and since then our two families have been cut in two, but you also have to tell him about the Tang family, this climbing dragon and phoenix is a good thing, and you can fly Huang Tengda if you get it right, but there are also many people who fall from the air and fall to their deaths, you let his family's hands hold steady." The matchmaker was overjoyed to see that Jin'er had received the documents for the divorce, and said to Jin'er cheekily: "Miss Jin'er is sensible, this is a way that this twisted melon is not sweet, and besides, the dowry brought back by the old woman today is more than ten times more than the original dowry, which is enough for the girl to be rich for a lifetime in the future." The matchmaker wanted to continue, but saw Jin'er say to the matchmaker: "Don't you want to be beaten if you don't leave quickly?" The matchmaker was frightened after hearing this, and climbed into the car under the angry eyes of everyone, and ran out of the village with a squeak.
