Chapter Fifty-Six: Dispersion
As the saying goes, "the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles", not to mention that sometimes it is quite accurate, in the morning there was a beautiful colorful glow in the east for a long time, the day is still sunny, and it suddenly rains after night. The rain was so heavy that it was like a god pouring water down his head with a huge basin.
It was rain and wind, lightning and thunder, and the heavens and the earth suddenly lit up, and then the mountains shook with a "click". Even though it is known as the world's first capital, Chang'an City seems to be crumbling under the power of nature, and it is very small in the slanting rain, as if it will be submerged in the sea of water at any time.
The rainwater flows horizontally and vertically on the long streets, like rivers, and the eaves on both sides flow upstream, and the water has become a water curtain hole. The lanterns that had been hung all night under the eaves of those large families had been blown off by the strong wind, and they fell to the ground and were ravaged into papier-mΓ’chΓ© bamboo frames. The few remaining lanterns were as faint as ants facing a tree under the glow of lightning. There was not even a single figure on the long street, but it was like there were thousands of troops, the sound of the rain and the howling wind were as noisy as the galloping of thousands of horses, the thunder was like the drums of war, and the empty streets and alleys were really lively, as if they were all ghosts celebrating wildly.
There is a Zhumen mansion in Kangyangfang in the north of Chang'an City, and the plaque on the door is written with two big characters "Cui Fu" dancing with eyebrows, and the elegant pen style seems to interpret the prosperity of the family. This is the mansion of the Cui family of the Huangmen Shilang Shandong clan in Beijing. The house here is also in turmoil.
At this moment, there was another flash between heaven and earth, and there was a loud "click", and a scream was immediately heard in the house, and the human voice was extremely sad in the night sky.
"Murder! Dead man......" A woman shouted frantically, incessantly, repeating.
The lights in the dark mansion soon flickered, and the dull mansion, which was originally empty like a haunted mansion, soon had figures and voices, and there was more heating for a while.
"The one who died is Lang Jun!" A voice said, "I was struck by lightning, go and call Ah Lang and Mrs., hurry up!" β
After a while, I saw a fat middle-aged man wearing a white obscene dress hurriedly running from under the eaves, it was Cui Riyong, the male owner of the Zhumen compound, who didn't even have time to approve a coat, and ran over in pajamas. Not to mention wearing clothes, I only wore one shoe on my feet.
I heard that his son Cui Mo was hung up by Lei, can he not be in a hurry? Although sometimes his son causes him a lot of trouble, and he even wants Cui Mo to die, but he is really dead, and the sad feeling of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person can only be experienced by parents. If the deceased person is a daughter, it wouldn't be so sad, but the men of the Cui family are the hope of the next generation of the family! In the eyes of the nobles, the interests of the family were even more important than the interests of the empire.
Cui Ri staggered into the room to take a look, only to see a long black strip lying on the big bed in a figure-eight shape, and two women kneeling on the ground, already frightened and stupid. Cui Ri walked to the bed with a slight trembling, took the lantern from the slave next to him and took a closer look, the skin of the humanoid black stripe had been roasted, but Cui Mo was his biological son, and he couldn't recognize it from the outline of his face.
Cui Ri was soft with his legs, the lantern fell to the ground with a "bang", and the person leaned back. The servants hurriedly held on, "A-a-lang, A-a-lang......" and one of the others stepped on the lantern on the ground, and after it fell over, it burst into flames.
After a while, some men and women came in, including Cui Riyong's wife Jia Shi. When Jia Shi saw it, he immediately cried with his heart, liver, meat, flesh, heart, lungs, and lungs, and he still took care of the reserve of the daughter of the Shenma family? Cui Mo was her only son, and the other sons were not born to her...... Counting Cui Riyong's son, there is only one Cui Mo, and that is the real legal heir, but if the heir hangs, he has to use the concubine as the heir, at least the blood of the Cui family is not.
For Cui Riyong and Jia's family, this not only includes emotional problems, but also has some powerful relationships. This son is not only a member of the Cui family, but also a member of the Jia family, and he can coordinate all parties. Most of the biological mothers of the other sons are not from good backgrounds, and some are even prostitutes, let their sons come to fight against Dading, there is no one in their mother's family, how will the family develop in the future?
Cui Moyi died, Jia's situation was even worse, if she couldn't have another son, Cui Riyong could legally divorce her from the interests of the family, and marry a daughter of a family as a wife. What's more, Cui Moke is the meat that fell from her body|ah! So Jia's sadness was even worse than Cui Riyong's, and he cried to death.
After all, Cui Riyong is a man with a harder heart than a woman, and he quickly accepted the reality after he fainted, and said: "If you die, report to the official first, and report to Jingzhao Mansion." β
At this time, Wang Changling, a young staff member who was watching from the sidelines, said: "Lang Jun was obviously killed by a natural disaster, I think it's better not to make a noise about this matter, just say that he died of illness." Cui Shilang is his father, and if he says so, the government will naturally not pursue it. β
Cui Riyong was puzzled: "Why do you want to hide it? β
Wang Changling pointed to the roof and said: "People are actually in trouble at home, I am afraid that people will gossip that they have been punished by God, won't it affect the reputation of Cui Mansion and make the dead uneasy?" β
Maybe it was Wang Changling's calm attitude that angered Jia's family, or maybe she was too sad and needed an outlet, after hearing this, she suddenly became furious, pointed at Wang Changling's nose and scolded: "Damned? You're gloating, aren't you, you're jealous that Mo'er is cursing him behind his back?! β
Wang Changling looked embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Madame blames Wang." β
Cui Riyong also hurriedly grabbed his wife and persuaded: "People can't be resurrected after death, you and our own people don't want to go, what are you angry with others?" β
"I'm not angry!" With tears on his face, Jia Shi gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Any natural disaster is a man-made disaster!" Speaking of which, it was this surnamed Wang's murdered Mo'er! Last time, I said that I would send Mo'er back to his hometown for temporary refuge, but it was the evil words of the surname Wang to dissuade me, otherwise how could today's tragedy happen? β
Wang Changling was stunned and said: "I have persuaded this in front of Cui Gong, but I can't know astronomy and geography, how can I budget for natural disasters and accidents?" Madame was sad and spoke casually, and I didn't care. If there is anything wrong with my construction, please also ask Duke Cui and his wife to do a lot. β
Cui Riyong hurriedly persuaded: "It's nothing, Mr. Wang just came up with a good plan to save my Cui family, and Da En hasn't thanked him yet...... If only you could understand Madame's feelings. β
Wang Changling thought so when he heard this, he hugged his fists and said, "I'll avoid it first." β
"Wait!" Jia Shi stopped him and said, "What else are you avoiding?" Get out of Cui's house now, wolf, heart, dog, and lungs have to eat and drink here! β
"Smack!" Cui Riyong suddenly jumped like thunder, slapped him over, and hit Na Jia Shi to the ground, and half of his face covered with his hands suddenly swollen.
Wang Changling stood stunned and a little at a loss, although he had only learned people, but after all, he was young and had limited life experience, and he was not proficient in everything, and he was very lacking in human feelings. He was stunned for a long time, and finally said with a red face: "I'll leave the Cui family now...... However, Cui Gong once promised us that if there is a rich reward for the function of Lida, I am very short of money now, and there is no other way in a short time, can you ......"
Cui Riyong asked, "How much do you want?" β
Wang Changling said: "Ten thousand, I don't want any more, I need it urgently." β
"Wanguan? What are you doing with all this money? Cui Riyong was stunned, "Where did I go to get together so much money at one time?" What's more, Mo Er is unlucky, and white things also require a lot of expenses......"
Jia Shi on the ground sneered: "I must be going to Yicuilou to redeem your concubine, right?" Shameless thing! Our Cui family has good food and drink for you, but you just want to find flowers and ask willows. The vixen named Bu Shao bewitched Mo'er, and the surnamed Wang bewitched discord. The surname Wang is not a good thing, and he is jealous for a dirty thing, I'm afraid that Mo Er will die early! β
Wang Changling said angrily: "I called you Mrs. out of respect. You can insult me, but you can't insult Bu Shao! Although she fell into the wind and dust, she was forced to do so, she not only had a good heart, but also my savior. At the beginning, when I was in Chang'an, I was starved to death on the streets, but Bu Shao first took me in, and then through the relationship of GuΓ² Langjun (Cui Mo), I went to Cui's mansion to make a living. I respect her and am willing to do anything for her! β
Wang Changling's eyes flashed with tears, "I was dirty and smelly at the time, and I was so bad that I couldn't even be a dog, do you know what kind of mood I am?" At this time, a woman who came out of the mud and was not stained did not dislike the ugly person she had never met...... If I don't keep his kindness in my heart, and I don't know how to repay it, I am not as good as a beast! β
He said and bowed with his fists and said: "This gift thanks Cui Gong for the grace of knowing the encounter, I am not a person who is greedy for money, and I don't want to be rewarded, and the friendship between our lords and curtains will be severed!" Then he turned around and left.
"Mr. Wang, stay!" Cui Riyong's eagerness to retain talents was all on his face, "Now is a very moment, Mr. Wang must not be angry, let's talk about it later." β
At this time, Jia Shi cried: "You are not in a hurry when Mo'er goes, just an outsider, I know that you have long planned to divorce me, and the decrepit are looking for a new love, right?" β
Cui Riyong is not a human being, and said depressedly: "The wife of the chaff is not in court, you still don't know who I am?" Nothing has followed me for decades! β
At this time, Wang Changling had already walked into the rain, and he was suddenly soaked by the torrential rain, and his thin figure looked even thinner. Cui Riyong shouted from behind: "Don't hurry up and send an umbrella to Mr. Wang!" β
Wang Changling walked to the door of the cave, turned around and hugged his fists and said, "No need, don't pass it away." β
The rain does not mean to stop, and the people in the rain are struggling for life and dignity. G
