Chapter 5 The sky thunders

For a while, all kinds of speculations came flooding in.

Some say that the lost little girl was rescued by the gods.

There is also speculation that there are so many footprints of wild beasts in front of the grave, and you don't need to think about it to know that her body was dragged away and eaten by large beasts......

Everyone is gossiping and saying everything.

But no matter what you say, in the end, there is only one statement, that is, the Wu family has done something wrong.

What makes everyone most angry is the culprit who causes the anger of the heavens and the resentment ~ the father and son of the head of the Wu family.

For a while, the two became rats crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat them.

On the same night that he was struck by lightning, the Chenwang Mansion in Shangjing was also struck by lightning on this night.

Huangfu Muchen, who fell into the water before, was almost drowned and was dying, but he didn't expect to be hit by a thunderbolt and his illness was completely cured.

He had been half-dead for a few days, and the day after the lightning strike, he had gone to the teahouse to drink tea.

For a while, King Chen's matter became the talk of this teahouse.

Who made last night's thunder so earth-shattering?

Not long after, three more princes came to this teahouse, and when they heard the news as soon as they entered, the three of them couldn't wait to enter the man's private room.

One of the older men said, "Third Emperor Brother, it's great to see that you're okay. ”

King Chen's Emperor Fu Mu Chen hugged his fists with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”

immediately stood up and sat down with a few people, and hurriedly ordered the shopkeeper to pour tea for the three people.

The eldest prince took a sip, put down the teacup and said: "Although the third emperor brother's body looks good now, it is not a trivial matter for the cold to enter the body, you should recuperate more in the mansion and listen to the errand." ”

When the third prince heard this, his hands couldn't help but tighten.

Is this what Big Brother means, or is it?

He didn't know before, and even the eldest brother, who has always been very honest and steady, didn't like him.

He's still leaning forward like a dog, and now he's back in life, and these people don't try to fool him anymore.

This time it fell into the water, and it was not so coincidental.

Here, my father just arranged a small errand for him, and over there he fell into the water and almost drowned, which is really too coincidental.

Huangfu Muchen sneered uncheckably, and then replied with a very grateful look: "Thank you for your concern, the younger brother has this intention, and I will enter the palace to ask my father for my resignation." ”

After hearing this, the eldest prince and Emperor Fu Muzhi smiled and bowed his head.

He was not surprised by this, and only raised the teacup and bowed slightly.

It's good to be obedient, otherwise......

But the other two who sat on the side and didn't speak, seeing that the eldest brother was polite to such a person, they were very disdainful.

Of course, this disdain is not for the eldest prince, but for his third prince.

When the sixth prince heard him say his resignation, in addition to disdain, he was also proud.

A bastard of a humble life, why should he be his third emperor brother.

I didn't expect such a humble person to have a very big life, and he didn't die after being drowned like that before.

That's it, I was struck by lightning last night, not only did I not die, but my illness was all cured, and God really didn't open my eyes.

But what if he survived, his father didn't want to see him.

He said sarcastically: "The life of the Third Emperor Brother is really good, he didn't die when he was thundered by the sky, and it really impressed the Sixth Emperor Brother."

Presumably, my father must be sympathetic to your difficulty, and let you take a long vacation, which is really enviable.

Unlike me, I still have to listen to my father's instructions every morning......"

The words are full of sarcasm and smugness.

But today's third prince is no longer the one who always wants to behave and is very cowardly.

The third prince looked at the sixth prince generously, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "What the sixth emperor brother said is that the third emperor brother and I am the life of an idle prince. ”

After saying that, he drank the tea in the cup and got up to say goodbye to a few people.

The sixth prince punched the cotton, and he didn't say anything, so he watched him stride away.

Sure enough, the third prince returned to the house and changed into the prince's court clothes, and then got into a carriage and drove towards the palace.

It was past noon when he came out, and it was obvious that he had eaten in the palace, which could be regarded as the emperor's compensation for his resignation.

Huangfu Muchen left the palace, he did not return to the palace immediately, but drove all the way to the palace of the emperor and the proud of the king.

He heard that the Nine Emperor Uncles were also sick, so he wanted to take this opportunity to visit.

This is the only royal person who has really helped him in the previous life, except for that woman.

In this life, he can pull this seemingly idle, but actually scheming Uncle Wang into his camp early.

In this way, it will be much easier to win the big position again.

It's just unfortunate that this time the Nine Princes Emperor Fu Aochen didn't see him.

only shirked and said that he was unwell, and he was cultivating and it was inconvenient to see guests.

Although the third prince was a little regretful, he also knew that the Nine Emperor Uncles were cold and didn't like to be disturbed.

Well, next time.

Huangfu Muchen got into the carriage and returned to Chen's palace.

As soon as the three princes left, the housekeeper of the Rui Wang's Mansion came back to talk back to the Nine Princes.

But the Nine Princes stood on top of the attic, but his expression was extremely cold and looked into the distance.

On closer inspection, it is not difficult to see that there is a faint sadness between his eyebrows.

The housekeeper sighed and left silently.

Early the next morning, three fast horses were seen on the street, and they quickly left Shangjing City and headed straight to the northwest.

……

Seven days later, the matter of the ancestral grave of the Wu family, which was struck by lightning, has not yet been decided.

Under pressure, Wu Gu, the head of the Wu family, had to lead the clansmen to bury the graves split by thunder, and then led the clansmen to kill pigs and sheep to worship their ancestors.

All expenses are paid by the patriarch.

He also took out a hundred taels of silver to compensate Qingyu's parents and the clansmen, and the matter was temporarily over, and his position as the head of the family could be kept.

As for the lost bodies, no one mentions them anymore.

It's just that in this way, the days of the Wu family's growing family are even more tense.

His youngest son gambled in the town and owed a large sum of silver.

If this doesn't happen, they can pay it back if they put together the silver that sells medicinal herbs at home, but now, seeing that the January deadline is approaching, they are empty-handed, how can this be good.

When he saw this uncompetitive little son, he wanted to throw him out of the house.

But after all, he can't give up his heart, just when he sees him, he won't be angry, but don't want him to have a good face for him.

That night, the patriarch of the Wu family punished his youngest son to kneel in the ancestral hall.

It is also strange to say that in a poor and remote place like Wuya Village, there is a bunch of mud legs, and many clansmen still live in thatched huts.

But the ancestral hall of the Wu family is very magnificent.

If you just enter the house and see the inside, you must only think that it is the ancestral hall of a large family.

If you want to say why this is, I'm afraid only the oldest and oldest old lady Wu knows.

The head of the Wu family was walking back and forth in the ancestral hall, when his father, the old man Wu, came over with small steps.

looked at the eldest son who was worried, and then looked at the little grandson with a pale face, his expression was very solemn.

Walked slowly to a futon, put down his crutches and knelt down.

The head of the Wu family had to kneel down in a hurry.

Old lady Wu closed her eyes and began to say leisurely: "I didn't expect my Wu family to be defeated so far, as a big house, I really have no words to face my ancestors." ”

When the patriarch of the Wu family heard his father say this, he hurriedly apologized and said, "It's all children who have no way to teach their children, please punish my father." ”

Old lady Wu sighed and began to think about whether it was appropriate for him to let his eldest son take his place.

If he didn't know the ancestral teachings and family secret history of the Wu family, maybe he wouldn't be as uncomfortable as he is now.

Now he is the only one who knows the secret history, and who can know the pain of hiding secrets in his heart but no one telling them.

thought that his son would take his place, and this secret could be told to his son, and he could enjoy his old age in peace, but at the moment, it seemed that he was still thinking too much about things.

Old lady Wu sighed, got up slowly, and walked away.

No matter how Wu Gu called his father behind him, he didn't pay attention to it.

However, Wu Jiang, the eldest son of the second room of the Wu family, and his wife Jia's family, the scene is completely different.

Their daughter Ulan not only escaped, but also got a large sum of silver, and the most important thing was to finally deal with the broom star of the dark clouds.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, although there was no smile on their faces, but in the depths of their eyes was the joy of success and the contempt for each other.

It's no wonder that they don't like the daughter of Wuyun, who is not only ugly, but also often brings bad luck to the family.

And then there's ...... That unspeakable reason.

Either way, the broom star is dead.

Originally, they were very worried about the fact that the eldest daughter was sacrificed alive instead of the second daughter.

Once it is discovered by the clansmen, it is a big crime of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, not only the second daughter can't keep it, I'm afraid that their family won't think about it.

It's great now.

As long as after a while, the turmoil of this matter has passed, and Ulan can go out in the open.

Even if the clansmen see that she is not dead, they will only think that she is favored by God and is a blessed person, and it is difficult to say anything.
