Chapter 121: The Past (I)

"Hey, hey, hey, grandma is angry, grandma is angry. It's not that the little nephew dares to offend your old man, this matter has a lot to do with it, the government is all on the little nephew, and Yan Shenggong went on a pilgrimage to Beijing and was not at home......"

"What about him at home? For more than 700 years, we have been neighbors with the Confucian Mansion, and we have not heard of anyone daring to touch my Zhang family. What are you! ”

Wu Ciyou and the others heard Kong Lingpei's voice change tone: "Grandma, if you want to say that, the little nephew will be rude!" Come on, search for me! ”

"Hey, Kong Lingpei, your kid is not small! Zhang Da, give the order, let the guys all come up here! Wu Ciyou got up, leaned into the window lattice and looked out, only to see that the servants of the Zhang family had already hugged out, each copying a brand-new water and fire stick, lined up in two rows, which was not much worse than the majesty of the law department's yamen!

I heard Grandma Zhang snort again, and said to Kong Lingpei:

"See? This stick was sent by the Holy Father, it's been seven hundred years, and it hasn't been used yet, do you kid want to try it?

Kong Lingpei saw that Grandma Zhang was so stubborn, and concluded that Wu Ciyou was undoubtedly here. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Up! Without waiting for the official to step forward, he heard Grandma Zhang sneer: "Okay, Zhang Da, please take out Grandma Zhang's dragon head crutch and knock the cloud board up." Our Zhang family has robbers, so let's call them all the people from the Confucian Mansion to come and see. ”

"Piercing!" The old man who opened the door for Wu Ciyou said yes, pulled his feet and walked back.

Kong Lingpei suddenly panicked: "Hey...... Hey, hey......! He knew that the Kong family's family law was extremely powerful, he was very low in the Kong family, and his misbehavior was misleading, and the elders in the clan had long hated it.

If the cloud board sounds, the Confucian Mansion will come to the rescue, and seeing that he is searching for Grandma Zhang's house, which cannot be provoked, it is possible to kill him on the spot, or bury him alive.

At this point, Kong Lingpei didn't dare to be tough: "Don't knock, the little nephew is dizzy, grandma, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as the little nephew, the little nephew just leave here!" After speaking, he turned his face and reprimanded the few officials he brought: "Don't go quickly, go outside, they can't fly!" The front yard gradually stopped moving, and Wu Ciyou and Yun Niang relaxed their hearts.

But Grandma Zhang didn't come over again all day, the tea and dinner were all taken care of by Zhang Da, what happened outside, who is this Grandma Zhang?

Chapter 23: Li Yunniang's heart is for Wu Ciyou, Grandma Zhang, and the Holy Father

After Grandma Zhang drove away Kong Lingpei, she didn't show up for a day.

Wu Ciyou and Li Yunniang were worried and uneasy. Until the time of the hand-lamp. This mysterious Grandma Zhang brought a Lang Zhong to see a doctor for the two, and ordered someone to grab medicine and arrange another house for Yun Niang.

After the soup and rice were used and everything was in order, I went to the west wing and sat down: "Two, I said I would come when I went, who wanted to make such a play." I was busy during the day, so I had to come at night - I am a farmer, and I don't have the courtesy of those guests, so don't be surprised. ”

Yun Niang and Wu Ciyou rested for a day, and their spirits were much better.

Wu Ciyou walked over and bowed deeply to Grandma Zhang. Yun Niang, who was sitting on the chair next to her, said: "Auntie is so kind, we will repay you one day." ”

"Hey, don't say that. Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter! The Kong family's Ling Pei was not bad when he was a child, but he didn't expect that the longer he grew, the less he was a thing! Half a year ago, he met Zheng Chunyou once, and when he came back, it was Zhong Sanlang again, Wu Sangui again, and he was about to be the son of heaven again. Didn't you look at the enclosure that stopped the year before last, and the people only had a few days of peace? What is not a people, who cares about it in the common people's homes. Kangxi respects Kong and Meng, respects heaven and ancestors, and is so reasonable in handling things, I see that it is also the style of the Chinese. ”

Wu Ciyou listened, his eyes were burning, but he couldn't say a word.

He lowered his head and sighed with emotion.

Yun Niang asked, "Grandma, what did that Kong Lingpei say about us?" ”

"Said - you're a big horse; said that his name was Yu Liu, Yu Qi's brother, and said that this was Zheng Futai's truth. ”

"Grandma, what do you think?"

"It's all! Who doesn't know that Zheng Chunyou wants to harm people again? In the first year, he killed Yu Wu, and he killed Yu Ba, and they all became anti-thieves! Whoever he wants to kill, he is a thief! During the Seven Rebellions, I was only a teenager, where could there be a person of Yu Liu's age? - Speaking of you, that's even less like, how can such a delicate yellow flower girl's house be a ringing horse? Amitabha, sin! ”

"Grandma, you know the righteousness, and I won't tell you, I'm really a 'ringing horse'!" She was grateful to Grandma Zhang in her heart, and she didn't have the slightest vigilance, so she told her what happened to her since she was a child, how she got to Wang's house, how she was almost killed, how she went up to Nanshan, why she went down the mountain to save Wu Ciyou, and what kind of person Wu Ciyou was...... 1510 told Grandma Zhang.

When Grandma Zhang heard this, tears glistened for a while, hairy for a while, smiled for a while, and filled her chest with anger for a while.

"Good girl, you are really reincarnated. Ay! This is several times more lively than what is said in big books and drum lyrics. If I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't have believed what I said-since that Miss Su has taken refuge in my Buddha, I see that you two are a natural pair, why can't you-" Before she finished speaking, Yun Niang's face was already red, and Wu Ciyou also looked at the dark night outside the window stupidly, sighed and lowered his head.

"Don't talk about that." Seeing the embarrassed expressions of the two, Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "You live here first, even if you are brothers and sisters." When it is calm, you will accompany him to Beijing to meet the emperor. After saying that, he wanted to get up and take his leave.

When Yun Niang saw that she was leaving, she was a little reluctant, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't be busy, it's early!" I am a little puzzled about this matter today: I heard that the Kong family has a lot of influence in Shandong, and the government depends on it, why is this Kong Lingpei like he is afraid of his grandmother, how can you suppress him? ”

Wu Ciyou stared at Grandma Zhang with wide eyes, which was also a huge question that had haunted him for a day.

Grandma Zhang turned around and poured a cup of tea for Wu Ciyou and Yun Niang, and then slowly he talked about this past incident that happened more than 700 years ago:

It was still the time of the fifth dynasty in the Later Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the people were not happy, and the Confucian family's family was gradually declining.

"At that time, the palm print of the Confucian Mansion was the forty-second generation of the grandfather Kong Guangsi, and it was the third generation of single transmission. This grandfather only got a son when he was fifty years old, named Kong Renyu. 3,000 acres of land and a grain, just such a seedling, I was afraid that I would not be able to raise it in the house, so I asked my nurse Zhang to take it home to raise it.

At that time, there was a sprinkler household named Liu Mo, who changed his name to Kong Mo because he entered the house on an errand. The old man saw that he was diligent and honest, so he handed over the treasury, famous utensils, wealth and silk, and the genealogy of the sixty clans in the clan and the Confucian family of this branch to him. In the beginning, people didn't take it seriously. - Who thought that this Kong Mo saw that the world was in chaos, so he took the opportunity to steal the silver from the treasury first, and then privately changed the family tree of his ancestors. After a long time, Jing said that his original surname was Kong, and he was also the blood of a saint.

Later, on the fifteenth day of August in the third year of Qianhua, the old man set up a wine feast in the garden and invited the men from the house to eat and drink. Kong Mo held the feast on the side, and after the second watch, Kong Mo helped the drunken old man back to the room, and when no one was around, he strangled the old man with a poisonous hand.

"After Kong Mo killed the old man, he came out to summon the people of the Confucian Mansion and said: The old man has returned to heaven, and he has something to say when he is dying, so ask him Kong Mo to take the seal. also said that Kong Renyu was the illegitimate son of the old man's concubine and an outsider, and he couldn't catch Kong's cigarettes, so he ordered someone to arrest and kill him. The people of Manchu had already been bought by him with money, and a group of thugs roared, lanterns and torches, knives, guns and sticks, and rushed straight to Zhang's house.

Grandma Zhang's family was about to go to bed after worshipping the old man and heard the howl outside the door like rising water, and they didn't know what was going on. As soon as the door was opened, it turned out that Kong Wei had rushed in with dozens of peopleβ€”the next child frightened grandma. Kong Mo was in the shadow of the lamp, holding a snowy knife in his hand, and immediately forced his grandmother to hand over Kong Renyu, if he didn't agree, he would be killed all over the house!

Grandma trembled and went into the inner room, and saw that her youngest son was fighting with Kong Renyu for moon cakes on the kang, and she was crawling all over the kang. She went up and picked up Renyu and kissed her, tears falling like broken beads. I want to be hugged. He couldn't give up, so he picked up the dog. The dog's two warm little hands took the moon cakes and stuffed them into the grandmother's mouth, calling 'Mother, eat, eat, eat!' ’…… Mother gives birth to children, which is the meat of the heart!

"At that moment, the door was kicked open! Kong Mo stepped into the room and asked murderously, 'Which one is Kong Renyu?' When the two children saw this battle, they were so frightened that they cried out loud. The mother and son hugged each other and cried darkly...... Grandma secretly thought, I have three sons, but the Kong family only has this one seedling, gritted her teeth and picked up the dog and handed it to Kong Wei...... The dog was frightened and frightened. Holding grandma's neck and not letting go, crying and shouting: 'Mother, I'm afraid of ......'

"Grandma patted the dog and stuffed all the candy mooncakes on the kang into the child's arms: 'Son, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you'll be ...... All right! ’

Kong Mo decided that this child was Kong Renyu, grabbed him, and killed him on the spot......

In order to avoid disaster, Grandma Zhang's family ran away and lived in the mountains around Shimen for more than ten years. Grandma spun thread day and night. weaving cloth, embroidering flowers for other helpers, washing clothes and sewing poor, and taking out little by little money for this Kong Renyu to study. In the later Tang Mingzong period, Kong Renyu entered Beijing to take the exam and was in Jinbang High School. The imperial court appointed him as a scholar and came back to take his grandmother into Beijing. At this time, grandma dared to explain this to him.

Kong Renyu listened to his grandmother's story, rushed back to the capital overnight, and wrote down his tragic life experience in detail and presented it to the emperor. The emperor Long Yan was furious, and sent troops to Qufu to take Kong Mo and smash it in the capital. The Confucian sage broke off the family of the sect, and this is called Renyu to take it, which is the forty-third generation of the Confucian family's 'Zhongxing ancestor'. ”

When Yun Niang heard this, her spirits perked up, and she asked with a smile: "So, the title of 'grandma' has been handed down, right?" ”

"Ho...... The girl is so smart, and that's true. After Kong Renyu became the Yan Shenggong of the Confucian Mansion, he did not forget the grace of the nurse to give up the savior and the nurturing teachings, and asked the emperor for his permission to serve the Zhang family as the generational relatives of the Confucian Mansion. 'Grandma' is an official title, passed to the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family's long house. Each generation of Yan Sheng Gong received the seal, and he had to respectfully send a dragon head bamboo cane, which has now been passed down for 20 generations. With this crutch, even the Holy Father of Yan can beat him, not to mention the people of the Confucian Mansion. ”

"Oh! No wonder in the morning, as soon as grandma said that she would take crutches, she scared Kong Lingpei away. Haha......"

"He's something. For 700 years, the Confucian Mansion and the Zhang family have been related for generations. My eldest daughter is the wife of the current Yan Sheng Gong. Our Zhang family does not value these, but Confucius is a descendant of a saint, admired by the world, and the most important thing is a ritual word and a letter word. Kong Lingpei wants to make trouble here for me, let the Kong family know, why don't you skin him?
