Chapter 130: Mountains and Waters
The fight is destined
Conscience has not sprouted
The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, Yang Yuandao and Fan Zuliang brothers rarely get together for a few days, successfully complete the mausoleum project, and prepare to set off for China. Then, we talked about family life.
After the ban was lifted, Yang's father-in-law, Xu Pingyang, returned to Beijing, first served as Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, and in less than ten months, he was reappointed as a waiter of the Criminal Department. Three months ago, her mother-in-law, Jiang, suddenly fell ill and died. Soon, Xu Pingyang decided to turn his second aunt Taisun into the main room. Unexpectedly, this incident set off a lot of waves.
In addition to his wife Jiang, Xu Pingyang has married the wife of the fourth aunt, the second aunt Tai He was married during the Chunxi period, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, which is close to sixty, and the third aunt is two years late and died at a young age, leaving a daughter, the fourth aunt Taijiang, less than fifty, gave birth to a son, and the fifth aunt Tai He, who is only in her early thirties, has no children.
According to normal, when the wife died, it was normal for the second aunt to support him. But the fifth aunt has too many opinions:
The second sister and the fourth sister are all old, the children are all adults, it doesn't matter if they turn positive or not, what about me, no children, in this family, except for the old man's pet, no one is a dish, I have become a regular, I have status, and I have the energy to manage the family well.
Sun's sweet words, coupled with arrogance and flattery, Lao Xu thought about it, too, if she is turned positive, at least she can live with peace of mind, there will be no demon moths, and she will have face when she goes out. He hesitated.
The fourth aunt Taijiang didn't think about this, but seeing the Sun family's trouble, the old man was vague, and took the opportunity to make a request, and moved in to save the soldiers, the son of the in-laws, the third child of the Xu family, has been an official from the seventh grade in Yuezhou.
The second aunt Tai He saw the demons dancing wildly, and the old thing was at both ends, and the busy gods came out to suppress the formation:
Now that the lord has been reinstated, you have all come to enjoy the blessings and compete for the land, where were you when he was sinned and exiled? How much suffering? How much suffering? Say that she is ugly, and the old lady is willing to give way!
In the second year of Qingyuan, because of Zhao Ruyu's argument, Xu Pingyang sent Guangnan to take charge, and He's children were only in their teens. The Jiang family, with his son, hid in his mother's house. Sun was married in Chuzhou.
Originally, a good and decent family did not give in to each other for this matter, and they made a lot of trouble. Xu Pingyang kept saying good things to the Jiang family and the Sun family, promising benefits, hoping to extinguish the fire as soon as possible. In the midst of complaints, it was announced that He would be turned into a regular.
As a result, Jiang's ass slapped and ran to his son. Sun was going to die or live at first, but slowly quieted down. Half a month later, carrying gold and silver, he stole Xu Pingyang's 10,000 guanzi and disappeared silently.
Later, when I inquired, I ran away with the cook of a restaurant in Lin'an. Xu Pingyang was so angry that he was afraid of embarrassment, so he didn't go to Lin'an Mansion to report the case.
Hearing this, Fan Zuliang said with emotion:
How about it, third brother, I said a long time ago, it's better not to marry this concubine, it's more troublesome to marry.
Yes, the more you marry, the more trouble you have. I married one, and God told your sister-in-law that you will never marry a second one in the future, no matter what. Fourth brother, have you married?
No, you don't know if you marry. However, there was one woman who was so tightly wrapped that I couldn't even leave.
Oh, what's going on? Tell the third brother about it.
Fan Zuliang told the story between him and Huang Yingying from beginning to end.
I said at the beginning, there is something wrong with the two of you. If you want me to say, this girl is really good, she is really infatuated, such a woman is rare. You see, the two of you are of the same age, and your brother and sister are interested, if your aunt and brother and sister agree, you can marry it, don't make the family sad.
But I swear not to take a concubine.
Don't be too rigid, you see, you and her, aunt and sibling, plus her maternal brother, are all satisfied, then make an exception.
Let's wait a minute. However, this time in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, I encountered a strange thing and I will tell you about it.
This person's name is Shuhu Yongchang, a Jurchen, thirty-five or sixteen years old, who is engaged in a timber business in Tieshanling, Taizihe, Liaoyang. I heard that I was an official of the Song State, and I was very polite. Later, he told me about him alone.
His grandfather's name was Shuhu Cha'er, who was a Mouke, and later married a Song palace maid as a concubine. This palace maid's surname is Zheng, called Qiuhe, and she worked as a palace maid in King Kang's Mansion at the age of twelve. After Kaifeng was captured, she was escorted to the north with her master, and later, the master Xing Concubine became the little wife of the prince, she was sent to the laundry, almost thirty years old, was favored by her grandfather, when the grandfather was almost fifty years old, saw that she was young and bright, able to endure hardships, and spent a lot of money, so she married away. Two years later, she gave birth to a son named Shuhu Ping'an. When Shuhu was eight years old, his father died, and his eldest wife casually gave some money and drove Zheng Qiuhe and her son out.
Zheng Qiuhe and her son left Liaoyang and traveled all the way south, where they settled on the outskirts of Kaifeng. After Shuhu grew up peacefully, he married his daughter-in-law and gave birth to a son, who is Shuhu Yongchang.
I wanted the family to live in peace, but I didn't know that the faint king Wan Yan Liang wanted to march south, and forcibly recruited Shuhu Ping'an to be a soldier, the first battle of Quarry Rock, the Jin people were defeated, the faint king Wan Yanliang was killed by the rebels, and Shuhu Ping'an also died in the field, and the disaster was not a single line, after Shuhu Yongchang's mother learned about it, she left him who had just turned one year old and ran away with someone.
Zheng Qiuhe, who is in his fifties, had to take his little grandson to spend the day hard. finally pulled the grandson up, and the person is old. Last winter, the grandmother and grandson were exiled to Linqing County, living in a dilapidated temple, and the grandmother was infected with wind and cold, and she was so sick that she couldn't get up.
Shuhu Yongchang, who was in his early thirties, saw that his grandmother was dying, and sadness came from it, and he couldn't help crying bitterly. But the pain and sorrow did not help at all, and I had to find a way to cure my grandmother and find something to eat.
Shuhu Yongchang took advantage of the night to arrive outside the largest inn in Linqing, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to steal some money, but saw a large number of people come in to stay in the hotel, and learned that it was the Song delegation passing by. Thinking of the suffering of my grandmother for so many years, I couldn't help but feel evil, wrote a letter, attached what my grandmother usually wrote, and in the dead of night, sneaked into the room, stabbed the guest with a knife, and took away all the money.
Although my grandmother ate a few mouthfuls of hot food, after all, she was in her eighties, and years of suffering had dried up her lamp. On his deathbed, he took his hand:
Grandson, no matter how poor a person is, don't ignore your conscience, and don't do things that hurt nature and reason. If you do something bad for your grandmother, your grandmother won't be able to live in peace when she arrives in the underworld.
Now, you should know what I've done. Shuhu Yongchang asked nervously.
After Ambassador Liu returned to China, he did not make the letter public, so naturally no one knew about the murderer, and in addition, Wang Langzhong received a generous pension, so the matter was over.
But my grandmother's words disturbed my conscience. At that time, I shouldn't have hurt anyone's life, after all, they had no grudge against me. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and there is no end to the harm of others and self-interest. Every time I think about it, I can't sleep. Therefore, I want to repay you Song people, in addition to giving money to compensate, I will do whatever you want me to do.
