Speaking of Zhao Xiangzi, Cai Boyu couldn't help but think of his children and grandchildren, he himself did encounter the difficulties of Zhao Ying.

He hurriedly asked, "What are the taboos for marrying a wife and concubine?" ”

Cai Dao pretended to be deep and thought carefully for half an hour, and then said in a low voice: "Old man, this is originally a secret that is not passed on, since you and I are of the same clan, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, but you must not spread it!" ”

"This is nature, doll, you must have inquired about the old man's character before you came!" When Cai Boli talked about this, he was quite proud.

has been with Song Renzong for so long, but Cai Boyu has never told anyone about the past with Song Renzong when he was a child, whether it is his children and grandchildren, or the poems he made, it shows that this old man is very cautious.

"Oh well! Actually, it's very simple to say, my master and his old man said that they don't get married within five suits. You know the meaning of the five suits, and another one, which also includes cousins, if there are no five suits, it is best not to intermarry. The so-called intimacy of the world is actually an unattainable theory. By the way, the two retinues around me are proof of this, and their mother is their father's cousin. ”

Seeing the appearance and appearance of Cai Ban and Cai Bucket, Cai Boyu believed Cai Dao's words a little more.

"Son, go out and call someone in!" Cai Boyu said to Cai Ban and Cai Bucket.

Cai Ban glanced at Cai Dao, Cai Dao nodded, and motioned for him to go out and call someone.

The villain who was waiting for the old man did not go far, Cai Ban turned around and walked out of the study, and soon called people in.

Cai Dao took a look and drank, this old pervert is already seventy years old, and there are still two yellow flower girls serving in the study.

"Go and call Miss Lan and the others over." Cai Boyu commanded, and asked Cai Dao a question with a smile: "Doll, these two children will come in after a while, one is called Li'er and the other is Tao'er, guess what their surnames are?" ”

Of course, he didn't expect Cai Dao to give an answer, and after a while, he would tell the true origin of these two granddaughters.

Cai Dao was puzzled when he heard it, I said so much, master, I just wanted to shirk this matter.

It's okay if you don't die, but you still stubbornly stuff it to me, one is not enough, and you still have to stuff two daughters-in-law for me.

This old man's thick skin is really not a rumor, but there are some fallacies, and that cheek is made of iron at all!

"Old man, it won't be surnamed Zheng, right?" If you ask inadvertently, the person who answers is naturally just a brain, Cai Dao casually said a surname.

But as soon as Cai Dao's words came out, he frightened Old Man Cai, pointed at Cai Dao tremblingly with his right hand, and stammered and asked, "You,...... How did you guess? ”

"Ahh Old man, his real surname is Zheng! Poor Dao is really just a guess in passing! Not to mention Cai Boyu, even Cai Dao himself was half frightened to death by this answer, he hurriedly waved his hands and refused: "Old man, you don't want to trap me, right?" Since their surname is Zheng, then I can't take them in! ”

"Hmph, you little demon, don't you want to take away the young lady?" Cai Dao was talking to Cai Boyu, and a little girl about the same age as him suddenly appeared in the study, with a double bun combed behind her head, and scolded Cai Dao with her little finger.

Cai Boyu saw that it was her, and reprimanded: "Cao'er, why are you so unruly? How can you be so rude to your guests? Do you want to be beaten again? ”

"Old lady, what's so good about this demon way, you have to give him the two young ladies! If you insist on doing so, you'd better beat me to death first, so that I don't have to watch the two young ladies suffer. "This little girl named Cao'er is likely to be the maid ring of the two young ladies surnamed Zheng.

It's not easy to be able to say it so smoothly.

Cai Boyu was so angry that Cao'er's gray beard pouted angrily, and immediately ordered: "Come on, pull this unruly girl down and kill her with a cane." ”

The two old men's female scholars stepped forward and grabbed Cao'er's arm and prepared to pull them out for execution.

Seeing Cao'er's scared look, "Wait! Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, old man, loyal ministers and protectors are false. What's more, these two girls are, and it's really hard to take them in! Cai Dao hurriedly spoke to stop him.

"You doll, you're a good person! Isn't this kid angry that he slandered you like this? After listening to Cai Dao's words, Cai Boyu pressed the anger in his chest and asked teasingly.

"Hey, hey! Old man, if it is your own family matter, Poor Dao will naturally not intervene. But if the child dies because of poverty, it is a sin. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and besides, what can those who scold me and slander me gain, and I myself will not lose something, and where does this anger come from? If you were angry about this little thing, Poor Dao wouldn't have lived to this day a long time ago! ”

Cai Dao said it from the heart, since he was born in this life, the gossip and vicious nursery rhymes around him have never stopped.

But the result?

Those rumors, from beginning to end, Cai Dao never defended a word, he just used his knowledge and practical actions to easily dispel those rumors that were unfavorable to him.

"This time it's for the sake of Cai Gongzi's face, the old man will spare your life! There's another time, huh! He asked, "Cao'er, where are the two young ladies?" ”

Just now, the old lady really wanted to kill her, Cao'er was still a five or six-year-old child, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she hurriedly replied: "In ...... Outside the door! ”

"Why are you hiding outside the door if you don't come in yet?" As soon as Cai Boyu heard this, the anger in his heart that he had just pressed suddenly rose again, and he shouted loudly.

As soon as Cai Boyu's words fell, two little daughters came in outside the door of the study, the one led by her looked about the same age as Cao'er, and she was holding a smaller girl in her right hand, and trotted all the way to Cai Boyu's approach, and both knelt in front of the old man.

"Li'er gives the old lady a gift!"

If it had been in the past, Cai Boyu would definitely not let her two little grandchildren kneel down and salute, but looking at these two pink and cute little granddaughters, his face was very ugly.

This time, Li'er, who has always been smart, actually played a clever trick in front of Cai Dao's doll. Cai Boyu knew in his heart that this little trick must not be hidden from Cai Dao.

Since Cai Dao had already met these two children, Cai Boyu did not introduce the two parties to each other, but without saying a word, he directly sent Li'er and her sister away.

"Let the doll laugh! It seems that you already know that the enemy who is your enemy in Fuqing is Zheng Xia. The reason why I want to give you the two of them is because I am now old, and it is inconvenient for these two children to stay at home all the time; Second, it is precisely because they are all surnamed Zheng that you have to accept them even more, even if you don't marry them in the future. Cai Boli said with a wry smile.

Seeing that Cai Dao didn't say anything, Cai Boyu took the initiative to tell the two children's life experiences.

That pear and her sister had a rough life just now.

They were all born to an old girl named Lan'er, who was born when he was fifty years old. It is a great joy to have a daughter when she is old, so Cai Boli has doted on her since she was a child, and it was not until she was eighteen years old that she married her to the Zheng family, a new family in Fuqing.

That's right, it's Zheng Xia's family.

Zheng Xia is the son of the first generation of Jinshi in the Great Song Dynasty, at that time, Zheng Xia was appreciated by Wang Anshi, and Cai Boyu was a fellow villager, so Cai Boyu became in-laws with the Zheng family, and his old girl was married to Zheng Xia's second son.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there were many new upstarts as sons-in-law.

For example, Fu Bi is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Yan Shu, and Feng Jing is the son-in-law of Prime Minister Fu Bi.

However, it is not uncommon for a marriage to end up as an enemy.

For example, the legendary Su Xiaomei, who is actually the sister of Ersu, married Cheng Zhicai, who was married to her fingertips, and was treated to death by her husband's family in the third year after marriage.

Cai Dao's sister was married to Wu Anzhi, who was the second son of Wang Anshi's political rival Wu Chong.

The same is true for the Cai and Zheng families, after Lan'er got married, she gave birth to two daughters in a row, and the people of the Zheng family naturally won't give her a good look, and Cao'er is actually the seed of the Zheng family, she is Lan'er's personal maid and Zheng's second son.

It was also three years later that Cai Lan'er finally died of depression, and the girl who gave birth to grass had already died of dystocia. The Zheng family disliked that these three were money-losing goods, so they all sent them back.

My favorite daughter is dead, can Cai Boyu not feel distressed? This enmity will be great.
