Chapter 21 Chen Ping steals his sister-in-law
The next day, as soon as the Li Yan brothers had breakfast, Wei Xiaotian and Zhao Qing came together. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After Li Yan and Li Xiao cleaned up, they went out and walked towards Dongdajie.
Due to the early hours, there are not many pedestrians on the street and few shops on either side of the street are open.
Several of them walked down the street, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent, as if they were thinking about how to persuade Chen Ping.
Yangwu County is not very big, and after a while they came to Dongdajie, turned a few more corners, and arrived at Humu Lane.
Before entering the alley, I heard a chaotic noise from a distance, and then listened carefully, it seemed that it was not a noise, but a discussion, but there were too many people discussing, overlapping together, and it seemed chaotic.
Li Yan looked at Wei Xiaotian questioningly, Wei Xiaotian shook his head, and then looked at Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing also shook his head.
So they unconsciously quickened their pace, and when they turned into the alley, they looked up, and saw a group of people gathered not far away, chattering about something, some pointing and pointing, and some people spitting on the ground, as if venting their dissatisfaction and disdain in their hearts.
"It seems to be at the door of Chen Ping's house!"
Wei Xiaotian stepped out of the crowd and walked forward.
Li Yan and the others hurriedly followed.
As we got closer, some words came into my ears.
"I heard that the Chen family was divorced, and when she returned to her mother's house, her mother's family was ashamed and kicked her out of the house, and she knelt here to ask her husband's family for forgiveness."
"I see that she is usually quite diligent and thrifty, why was she given a break by the Chen family?"
"Who knows why?"
"I heard that she was divorced because she spoke ill of her uncle outside and annoyed Uncle Chen!"
"Impossible! Seeing that Uncle Chen usually listens to her well and is obedient, how could he divorce her because of such a trivial matter? I don't think so! Would you do that? No! Neither will I! ”
"Will it be ......?"
"Shh......h Be quiet, it's all from the villagers, don't talk nonsense, let people know how to live? Alas...... What a ......."
"Look at her fine skin and tender flesh, a pair of fox eyes, it must be ...... What a wickedness! ”
"I just saw that her uncle came to see her secretly, that Chen Pingchang is tall and burly, I feel a little itchy when I see it!"
Hearing this, Li Yan suddenly thought of an allusion, Chen Ping stole his sister-in-law! This allusion is widely spread, Li Yan didn't know its beginning and end, but he didn't expect to witness it here.
Li Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he wondered how such an unobtrusive rumor in the market was written into history and passed on? Now it seems that this political enemy is really pervasive!
Seeing that the more they talked, the more unbearable it became, Li Yan really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he coughed vigorously.
No response! They continue to spit around!
Li Yan was dumbfounded!
Li Xiao covered her mouth and snickered.
Li Yan glared at him, Li Xiao hurriedly held back, looking serious!
Li Yan turned his head to look at Zhao Qing, he also looked gloating!
"Okay, don't look at the excitement anymore, the county prince hurry up and break the siege!"
Zhao Qing hurriedly put away the banter and looked serious.
Zhao Qing knew that this was not the time to joke, so he tidied up his clothes, squeezed into the crowd, and stood in front of everyone.
As soon as everyone looked at a richly dressed son, they slowly suppressed their voices, looking at this noble son, their eyes were full of awe, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, and there was silence all around.
They knew this richly dressed son, this was the little son of the county lord's family, and he was a friend of the second boy of the Chen family, and he often came here to look for him.
"Folks, hurry up! Look no further! ”
Zhao Qing's words were kind and majestic, and in front of everyone, he stood with his hands tied, like a tall green pine!
When everyone saw that the little son of the county Cheng family was coming, they were afraid in their hearts, and they had the idea of leaving, but when they heard him say this, they all gradually dispersed.
The water that had just been surrounded was impassable, and they did not see what was going on inside. Now that everyone was gone, they saw that at the door of a closed door, a woman in ordinary clothes was kneeling on the ground, her body trembling slightly, and it seemed that she should have been kneeling for a long time.
She lowered her head, her black hair was scattered to cover her face, and she couldn't see what she looked like, this should be Chen Ping's sister-in-law.
In ancient times, there were seven criteria for divorce, that is, the usual seven out and seven out, in fact, seven out and seven out (also known as seven renunciation) can be said to be in ancient Chinese laws, etiquette and customs, stipulating that husband and wife must meet the seven conditions for divorce, when the wife meets one of the conditions, the husband and his family can request divorce (i.e., divorce).
In the Han Dynasty, the "Dadai Li Ji" recorded the content of "seven goes", also known as "seven abandonments". They are "disobedient to parents," "childless," "adulterous," "jealous," "sick," "talkative," and "thief."
Chen Ping's sister-in-law is undoubtedly guilty of "talking too much" in the seven. "Talking" means that the wife talks too much or gossips about others. The reason is "separation", in the traditional Chinese family, women, especially women of low rank, are considered not to express their opinions, and the wife, as a member of the original family, is considered to have the possibility of dividing the family harmony.
In ancient times, once a wife was divorced, it was a very humiliating thing, she would be looked down upon, and she would be kicked out of the house by her mother's family, scolded, and even her life would be a problem.
Listening to the discussion just now, Chen Ping's sister-in-law was kicked out of the house by her mother's family, she knelt down here, she wanted to ask her husband's family for forgiveness and take back the letter of resignation, otherwise where could she go as a weak woman?
Li Yan wanted to help her up, but he thought about it and gave up, as an outsider, it was somewhat inappropriate to take care of other people's family affairs.
Zhao Qing bypassed Chen Ping's sister-in-law and knocked on the door, and they waited to open the door.
I waited for a while, but there was no response.
They looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"Chen Ping open the door, I'm Zhao Qing."
Zhao Qingliang raised his voice and shouted. He knocked the door again.
This time, it didn't take long for the door to open.
The door was opened by a little boy, five or six years old, with a round face, very cute, but the two tear stains on his face had not yet dried, and it seemed that he was still crying just now. I should have known that the guests were coming and came to greet the guests, so I couldn't help crying.
When the little boy opened the door, he saw his mother kneeling at the door, and he couldn't help it anymore, he cried out again with a "wow", and he couldn't care about greeting the guests anymore, so he shouted "mother", and fell into his mother's arms and hugged his mother tightly.
Hearing her son's voice, Chen Ping's sister-in-law raised her head and was hugged tightly by her son, but her eyes were dull, as if she had lost her soul.
After a long time, her hands slowly raised and hugged her son tightly, and her eyes slowly showed tears, and she sobbed silently.
This is a typical Chinese housewife, because of long-term labor, her face is beautiful, but a little dark; The fingers are long, but they are full of calluses. It can be seen that this is a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, and because of diligence and thrift, he is dissatisfied with the uncle's lack of production and lack of diligence.
Li Yan was a little sad, and couldn't help but sigh that under the social status of women in ancient times, this would never happen in his later life, he saw more disharmony between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and quarrels between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Although some of them are uneducated as daughters-in-law, it also reflects the high social status of women.
"Let their mother and son be alone for a while!"
Li Yan motioned for them to go in.
Wei Xiaotian walked into Chen Ping's house first, and finally, Li Yan walked in with Li Xiaoye, leaving a sad feeling behind him!
Walking into the door, facing the door are four large brick houses, and there are two wing rooms on the left and right sides, all of which are built with blue bricks and tiles, and the yard is not big, but it is also quite imposing. It can be seen that although Chen Ping's family is not rich, it is also a solid family.
At this time, Chen Ping also came out of the house, looking haggard and losing his former spirit.
"Brother Li is here too!"
Chen Ping saw that Li Yan was also here, after all, he was a rare guest, so he quickly cheered up and gave his hand!
"Brother Chen doesn't have to be polite, Yan's coming is a little abrupt, please don't be surprised!"
Li Yan returned the salute.
"Brother Li can come to the cold house, and he will shine! It's Brother Li who has seen the outside! ”
Chen Ping greeted Wei Xiaotian and Zhao Qing again! Zhao Qing silently hugged Chen Ping to show comfort.
Chen Ping led them into the guest room, the room furnishings are simple and elegant, the middle three couches are placed in the shape of a pin, each has a square table on the couch, and a set of ceramic tea sets are placed on the square table, which is very chic.
The four of them sat down separately, and Li Xiao stood behind Li Yan.
Li Yan saw Li Xiao standing behind him and motioned for him to sit down, but he just refused, and Li Yan didn't insist. Li Yan thought to himself, the system of respect and inferiority in this society is really harmful!
