There is no surplus food at home, Sister Chunmei is very grateful to Young Master Shen who came to send charcoal in the snow, and she sent Caidong out with a thousand thanks, stood outside the door, and did not go back for a long time.

It is said that the reason why she acted frivolously is not without reason.

As early as when he got married, I don't know where Shen Dazhu heard the rumor that Sister Chunmei had secretly raised a man at home.

Unfortunately, Sister Chunmei played on a swing one year, and accidentally stepped on the air and fell, hitting her crotch and bleeding on the spot.

Probably because of this incident, some insiders took advantage of this to secretly spread rumors, who made Sister Chunmei beautiful.

On the night of candles in the cave room, Shen Dazhu thought that the rumors were true, no matter how Sister Chunmei explained, he didn't believe it.

Whenever in the dead of night, Shen Dazhu thought of the green light coming out of his head, so he angrily beat his wife, and he didn't allow his wife to scream or outsiders to see the scars on her body.

Shen Dazhu is an only child, has no brothers and sisters, and has a domineering and irritable temperament. That year, Shen An came out at night and heard his daughter-in-law being beaten by her husband tossing and moaning, so she was so angry that she yelled at her son to come out, scolding him for being a demon who could not be blessed with a woman.

Since then, Shen Dazhu has become more restrained, but because of this, he ran outside for many days and did not return home, and soon learned to drink heavily, learn to gamble, and learn to hook up with indiscriminate women.

Sister Chunmei was very virtuous at first, and never told outsiders the slightest mistake about her husband, and endured it hard, hoping that her husband would change his mind, while working hard and honoring her in-laws.

But there has always been no secret in the mansion, and the news of the beating soon spread, and the Shen family at that time had a good impression of the beautiful and sensible new daughter-in-law, and everyone kindly thought that which girl had no love when she was young? So it's understandable to be confused for a while.

At that time, Sister Chunmei's virtuous and benevolent Bo came to everyone's unanimous praise, and even the snow-white-bearded old housekeeper praised behind her back, "What a virtuous daughter-in-law!"

There are also things like "Dazhu is really a good blessing from the previous life!" What a flower on cow dung!" Something like that.

At that time, these praises gave Sister Chunmei an invisible comfort, which not only soothed her pain, but also enabled her to puff up her chest and be proud, especially for those frivolous and unruly women.

However, time passed......

Blooming flowers can't be watered without water, and Sister Chunmei is a woman who is born with a very strong aspect.

At night, when she was lying alone in the cold quilt and insomnia, emptiness and loneliness, the fleeting fear of youth and beauty, the endless dark night, and the misfortune and melancholy of the inhuman marriage to herself, came one after another.

Sometimes, the sound of the couple coming from the house next door came from the house, and the uncomfortable Sister Chunmei got up from the kang and pushed open the window......

Looking up at the starry sky, the night is full of starlight, and the sound of insects is floating in the wild......

After that, Sister Chunmei continued to endure, and she endured everything, just to get praise from the elders and others, just like the women of the whole world.

Until the year when her husband learned badly, not only robbed her of all her dowry, but also frequently stole her parents' savings, and stole the Shen family's things again and again.

Sister Chunmei collapsed, Shen Dazhu didn't study well, everyone began to blame her, needless to say, the root of the cause was her 'unchastity' when she was a girl, and after so many years of marriage, why did Shen Dazhu still show no signs of improvement?

The fault of the husband's various faults naturally lies with the wife, and the prejudice against women in ancient times was deep-rooted.

More importantly, Sister Chunmei has never been pregnant.

In short, no one no longer praises her virtue, but the virtue of the past has become a joke, rumors are spreading, and some people say behind their backs that the reason why Dazhu has become bad is because his daughter-in-law is serious on the surface, but in fact, she hooks up with men everywhere, making Dazhu unbearable.

Fortunately, there was no evidence for the rumors, and they were quickly suppressed by Mrs. Four, but they couldn't control the mouths that people were secretly talking about.

At this time, the bitter Sister Chunmei also lost the innocence of her youth, she understood that one of her diligent and diligent things could not help offending many lazy and slippery people, and the other was born beautiful, her husband was absent from home for a long time, and she attracted the covetousness of her husband and son all the time, even if it was just to say a few words to her at close range.

So it has long become a thorn in the side of women, and recently even her parents-in-law have begun to be dissatisfied, Sister Chunmei simply doesn't care when she is angry, since everyone of you scolds me for being debauched, then I will be debauched to show you.

Of course, it's not just for revenge, when I'm older, I can see a lot of things, and I just take the opportunity to indulge my nature.

Suzhou City, the royal residence.

Shen Kan followed Shen Jiaji and the others out through the two streets, and came to the Yangming Ancestral Hall, which was not far from the north gate and had just been built.

Miao Zhu ran out when he heard the news, and Wang Qianzhai also walked out, arching his hand and laughing: "It's a crime to miss an appointment, it's a crime to miss an appointment."

Mr. Yunnong asked, "Have you finished writing the plaque?"

Miaozhu pointed to the courtyard gate and said, "Soon after I finished writing, I will hang there."

When everyone entered the door, Shen Kan saw a large plaque with a height of one person erected in front of him, with five ancient and simple characters written on it, and the ink had not yet dried up.

Shen Jiaji praised again and again: "The pen is like its person!" Well written. ”

"Talking about blame is worthy of the sages." Wang Qianzhai said humbly.

The temple blessed the compliment of the opportunity: "The small ancestral hall is left in the fang, and it is all up to the donor."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and at that moment Shen Kan followed the elders to tidy up his clothes, cleaned his hands, and went in to offer incense to the statue of Mr. Yangming and bowed.

After eating tea at the ancestral hall and talking for a long time, he returned to Wang's house and saw Wang Qianzhai's son still standing in front of the door waiting.

Entering the study, Wang Qianzhai said: "What is there at the table that day? Brother thinks he has nothing to do, so I don't know what he can do?"

Mr. Yunnong said: "Let's talk straight to the point, Brother Shen's intention, I want to use the disciple's study to annoy Brother Shi's management."

"How is it managed?" Wang Qianzhai frowned slightly, "Let's say it as soon as I invent it." ”

Shen Jiaji said: "Then I'll say it all at once." The children of the family and the children in the village have not yet gone to school, and they want to implore their brother to set up an account in Shenjia Village. If it was suddenly mentioned the day before yesterday, it seemed that the younger brother was disrespectful, so today I built a house to discuss and hope that the elder brother would agree. ”

"It's hard to get to grips with this." Wang Qianzhai shook his head when he heard this, "Brother Shen sees love, I understand it." We don't need to see each other, and we didn't dare to educate our juniors, but there is a reason for this. My brother came back from retiring from the capital, he was 20 years older than me, and he is 60 years old this year, and he eats at the same table every day, and the family is used to relying on each other. If I go to Shenjia Village, with my brother's old temperament, I know that this matter will not work. ”

"Brother Zizhen is back?" Shen Jiaji was very surprised, "The friendship between Brother Guikun is inevitable. Fortunately, they are not far from each other, and they can see each other in a few hours, so Brother Wang does not have to be obsessed. ”

"Alas! Today is different. Wang Qianzhai smiled bitterly, "I have learned my brother's temper. At the beginning of the year, I went to Hangzhou on something and said that I would return on the 15th, but I was delayed there for five more days. In the past five days, my brother couldn't sleep for a few nights, and the children panicked because of this, and sent people to pick me up repeatedly. When I arrived home, I saw my brother overjoyed and laughed a few tears. I'll just say that everyone is back, big brother, what's wrong with you?

The elder brother said, 'I know that this should not be the case, but I can't rest assured, so I have to be anxious every day.' After half a month, he forgot about it. You say that now I want to live in the countryside for a long time, how can my brother agree?"

Shen Kan, who was watching quietly, felt warmth in his heart, and he had a little more affection for the elegant Mr. Qianzhai.

Shen Jiaji even secretly admired Brother Wang's personality on weekdays, and he originally wanted to go back very much, but today he saw with his own eyes that other people's sons are well educated, and this brotherly friendship and true nature are revealed, where can I find such a good teacher? Therefore, this matter must not be missed in person.

Thinking like this, he hurriedly said to Mr. Yunnong: "Don't worry, let's not mention this matter for the time being."

Shen Kan understood that the fourth uncle was afraid of Mr. Yunnong's loyalty, so he continued to persuade him, but forced Mr. Qianzhai to refuse directly, so there was no room for turning the matter around.

So they talked about other things, Shen Kan sat by the door, and saw that the Wang family was busy, as if they were preparing a meal.

Mr. Qianzhai's home is not large, there are few people in the family, and his eldest brother has been an official for many years after all, and lives in a big mansion at the back.

Most of the children are far away, and this old man will become strange in his temper when he is old, so he is especially attached to his brother, and it will be uncomfortable not to see him for a moment.
