Chapter 011: Seeking Revenge
July 15, Midyear Day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Li Ang didn't have much impression of this traditional Han festival in his previous life, but he remembered that when he was a child, in his hometown, the elders would write the names of their ancestors one by one, pile them together and burn them. And unless there is something important at night, I generally don't go out, for fear of bumping into the undead who have come back from the ghost gate.
I didn't expect this custom to exist in the Song Dynasty, and it was even much more exquisite.
Mother Li's Meng bought all kinds of spiritual utensils from the city one day in advance, as well as paper clothes, paper shoes, paper money, and so on. On the fifteenth day, he and Yang Ganniang began to prepare sacrifices early in the morning, melons and fruits, wine and vegetables, rice, and knife meat, all of which were indispensable. Unlike later generations, bringing a few apples and oranges or something fooled the ancestors.
As for the name of the ancestor of the book, it has always been Li Bai's task in the past, but now that there is an official student in the family, he is also happy to let Xian. It's just that I didn't expect that Li Ang would write with a pen: Therefore, Li Gongbai ......
Make Li Daguan very popular, I'm not dead yet, you will give me "Zhongyuan Silk"? Roll on! Go aside!
The father and son were arguing, when they saw Yang Ganniang running in in a panic, and said breathlessly: "Big official, it's amazing!" That Sun Baozheng instructed people to come home with instruments in hand! ”
"Huh?" Li Bai was shocked, this is to kill someone?
Leon was also taken aback, but thought to himself, wouldn't it? Then he asked: "Godmother, how do you know that it was instructed by Sun Baolin?" ”
"I went out to add some wheat bran and soybean meal to the livestock, but these days I live a heavy life, and I can't just eat forage. Just those two donkeys, seeing the loss of fat......"
"Godmother."
"Oh, yes, when I came back, I saw Sun Bao under the big banyan tree, surrounded by four or five men, who were holding knives and sticks, and pointing at our house. Later, with a wave of Bao Zheng's hand, several men all came over. I thought to myself that he had a grudge against our family, so I hurriedly bolted the door to report the news. A big official, how can you be good? ”
After hearing this, Li Bai shook his head: "I'm afraid you're wrong, right?" No matter how arrogant Sun Baolin is, he does not dare to cause people to commit murder in broad daylight. ”
"You can't go wrong, you can see it for real." Yang Ganniang is very sure.
"Godmother, don't worry, I'll take a look, he won't dare to come nonsense." Li Ang relieved the old lady's heart and left.
"Bull head, you can be careful, look through the crack in the door, don't open the door." Yang Ganniang chased after him and admonished.
When I arrived at the front yard, I opened the door, and saw several men outside the door, some carrying knives and some carrying sticks, but they did not come to seek revenge, but squatted there to repair the gate. Seeing him come out, one of them put down the firewood knife and stepped forward to make a gesture, and said with a smile: "Little official, the Baozheng official said that he kicked and damaged the gate of your house the day before yesterday, and he was very unhappy, so he asked the villains to repair it." I thought the prophet would speak, but I didn't know how to open the door. ”
Li Angfang was about to speak, but when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned around and told him about the matter, and asked Li Daguan to take an idea.
Li Bai was a little confused about the situation for a while, until his son whispered a few words next to him, and the suspicion on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a coldness.
"Don't move, whoever kicks this door will fix it."
"Great official, this ......"
At this time, Meng Shi also came out and said sharply: "My family officials didn't make it clear? Today, Zhongyuan, you are not at home to prepare to worship your ancestors, but you came to repair the door for my family, the Li family lacks a few of your filial sons and grandchildren? ”
Yes, if you repair it again, you have to change your surname, the men knew how powerful she was, so they didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately packed up the guy and went out of the hospital.
When the family returned to the hall, Li Bai was very puzzled as soon as he sat down: "It is said that Wang Zhixue should have handed over the complaint, why has the government not moved in the past two days?" Isn't the government trying to protect him? ”
Li Ang didn't say anything, but smiled: "When Sun Baolin comes, the big officials will ask themselves, won't they know?" ”
Li Bai only laughed at him, and didn't care, but said dissatisfied: "How can you be a big official these days? As he spoke, he turned to the Hun family, "Co-authoring, this is not my own?" ”
Meng Shi heard his question ridiculous, and immediately said, "It's not your own birth, is it that I got it from my mother's family?" An old cuo is big, a little splash, sooner or later you will be angry! Li Niutou, when the time comes, you will write 'so Xianyan Li Mu Meng', Li Wuchang, you also happen to be happy with your two loves......"
"Look, isn't that a joke? Really in a hurry? Li Bai glanced at Li Ang with a frown. In front of your son, what are you doing with those old things? ”
Meng Shi was about to refute, but when he saw his son waiting for the next sentence with his pointed ears pointed to him, he was so angry that he stepped forward and scolded: "You bastard!" Dad is not called Dad, Mom is not called Mom, Cheng Tian is a big official, and Auntie ......" At this point, I suddenly remembered that since I beat my son and was rescued from falling into the water, I have never called myself.
As soon as Fang was distracted, Li Bai came up and pulled away the two of them, and complained: "Niu Tou is not the same as in the past, he is now an official and a student member, and everything must be set up as a system." As parents, we also have to take care of his face, don't start at every turn. Look at it, my ears are red, and I wonder if it's your own! ”
Meng was furious!
But before she could have a seizure, a voice came from outside: "Brother Mu Bai, Mrs. Sister-in-law, don't come to harm?" ”
Just hearing this, I thought that an old friend who I hadn't seen for many years came to visit, but the family of four turned their heads to look, and it was not someone else standing in the courtyard, it was Sun Baolin.
Li Bai didn't say anything, but Meng Shi rolled his eyes: "Who is your brother and sister-in-law?" I can't afford it! ”
"Deserved, deserved." Sun Baolin smiled, holding two jars of wine in one hand, a few pieces of meat in the other, and a large bag of small bags I didn't know what it was, so he came to the house. Before he crossed the threshold, he saw Meng Shi using a broom, and he couldn't get down with his feet.
He didn't doubt that this dared to whip herself, so he looked at Li Bai and pleaded: "Brother Mubai, I used to be brothers, I made a special trip to make amends today." ”
"Reparation? Then you can go to the wrong door, turn around and go out of the village, and go all the way north into the city, you are familiar with the county office, go there and take the guilt. Meng said loudly.
Sun Baolin knew that it didn't make sense to talk to her, so he still looked at Li Bai: "Brother Mubai, even if I am not in every way, now I have been exempted from Baozheng, you see that I am old and young, leave a way for my brother to go, I will kowtow to you here." "That's what I said, and my knees were bent, but I don't know if my stomach was too big or what, I couldn't kneel down alive or dead.
Li Bai is a good man, first saw him admit his softness, and then heard that he was dismissed, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared. Although the two families have a big holiday, it is not a blood feud after all, if they have to be entangled, what good is it for themselves and others?
Thinking of this, he said outward: "That's it, it's a neighbor, you don't see it when you look up, you take it back, and you can be kind to others in the future." ”
Sun Baolin stood up neatly, nodded frequently, and even claimed that he was, putting things outside the threshold, but he had no intention of leaving, and opened his mouth several times.
Seeing this, Li Bai secretly thought in his heart that since he was dismissed from Baozheng, it means that the matter has been stabbed, and the government's handling of it like this is obviously covering up. He came to the door in person today, I'm afraid he wanted himself not to sue again, right?
"Okay, I know what you're thinking, as long as there are no more things in the future, do I have to let you go to prison?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Mu Bai is really vain, vain......"
"Wakaya! Go back, bring your stuff, I don't lack anything. ”
"It's not a big thing, it's just a little bit of brother's heart, and I hope to accept it." Sun Baolin has repeatedly made mistakes, and his humble attitude is like two people in the past.
Li Ang saw it in his eyes, and he really didn't know whether to say that he could bend and stretch, or he had no skin and no face.
