Chapter 3: Detailing the Encounter
Shen went to Longling Temple and encountered a strange thing, so she was in a good mood.
originally thought that the woman who sold herself to bury her mother was forced to commit suicide by Zheng Huitang, no matter how arrogant the Gu family was, she would not let go of the murderer, who turned her head and heard that the woman was only slightly injured, neither caused a death, she was not a real court official, and there was no way to detain Zheng Huitang on the spot, but she still used this reason to beat the Gu family, and the Gu family no longer had the leisure to argue with her for what abbot explained, and led her son away from the land of right and wrong.
Shen made a wish, asked how to solve the misfortune, although the abbot is a Buddhist, but has never really escaped from the world, listen to Shen's words, and know that the illness of the state lord does not matter, it is nothing more than to come to Fenyang some water and soil discomfort, but also a lot of official affairs, sorrow in the heart, only delayed until now not healed, he first concluded: "Zhao Zhizhou's misfortune has nothing to do with illness, but it is a heart disease." ”
I also knew that the crux of the officialdom and political struggle was not unrelated to the Rongguo Mansion, and the abbot didn't want to be involved, but because of such a matter as the return of spring, in the end, he took into account public opinion, and was moved by Shen's heavy incense money, so he said one more sentence: "Why does the donor need to ask the way to solve the misfortune?" On this trip, I have met people who have been relieved. ”
Shen thought about it for a while, and then he got the hang of it-
Although Zheng Huitang did not have a human life on his body, he was blessed by the Buddha and the poor woman, and he could not be treated as a murderer, but he could not run away from the charge of bullying, although Rong Guogong was a powerful person, although there was no direct contradiction with the official family like the Zhao family, but I heard that Rong Guogong and Shi Liangxing had frequent contacts in the past, if they could use this handle to implicate Shi Liangxing, they might be able to resolve the difficulties in the situation.
So Shen regarded Chungui as a "nobleman", and brought the poor woman who was unconscious back to the Zhizhou Mansion to recuperate, since it was also to wait for Chungui to wake up, inquire carefully about the reason, and then inform her husband to see if it could be used as an opportunity.
I just didn't think about it, although the abbot concluded that Chungui had no worries about her life, her coma turned out to be a day and a night, and it was easy to hear that she was finally awake, and Shen was busy and went to visit.
As soon as the two met, they had to look at each other.
Shen only saw the return of spring, a simple bundle of green silk, a soft waist with black tips, and a longitudinal linen cloth and filial piety clothes, but also could not cover up the romantic posture; When the eyebrows are lowered, such as the green mountains are quiet, the eyes are slightly up, and the spring river is sighed. It's really like a magic pen to draw the shadow of a fairy, and marvel at the rare encounter.
When I first saw Shen in the spring, after a glance, I didn't dare to measure it carefully, but I hurriedly glanced at a pair of apricot eyes, crescent moon eyebrows, and a few yellow spots on both sides of the nose, which was a goose egg face. When Fu went down, he saw her horse-faced skirt with delicate embroidery on the bottom, covering the upper of her shoes.
The voice is thin and soft, as soon as it approaches, the warm fragrance overflows from the sleeves, whether it is to see, listen or smell the fragrance, as if it is a very easy person to approach.
Shen did not pretend to be a gesture, and spoke affectionately and affectionately, but Chungui felt that this lady's palm was warm, soft but very dry.
With the first notice in my heart, I insisted on thanking him again for the spring return.
Some words are not to be asked by the Shen family, and she needs to confess herself.
"The folk girl didn't dare to hide it, it was not that she had nowhere to live, and her deceased mother was living in Mrs. Ji's house in Qingyuan before, and A-Niang passed away, and Mrs. Ji was able to operate the coffin, and the folk girl was not penniless and could not bury her deceased mother, but ...... For the persecution of Zheng Sanye of the Rongguo Mansion, listening to Mrs. Ji's son, Sun Shuban said that Mrs. would go to Longling Temple yesterday to worship the Buddha and cry out for Mrs. Xun, so she pretended to sell herself to bury her mother. ”
Shen's containment of Chungui, firstly, she had her thoughts, and secondly, she was really curious about what happened to this beautiful woman, but in fact, she didn't ask how to find out the origin of Chungui, but today I wanted to ask, and when I heard this, I stayed first: "If you confess so much, aren't you afraid that I will annoy you for cheating?" ”
Spring Return: ......
The focus of this Zhizhou lady seems to be a little wrong?
hurriedly replied: "The folk girl knows that she can't deceive her wife for such a trick as selling herself to bury her mother. ”
"Why? Hasn't it happened in the market before? "Are the people of this dynasty so rich? Is there no one who is lonely and really dead, but there is no money for a burial of his parents?
The sweat of the spring return almost flowed down, and the focus of Mrs. Zhizhou's attention was really problematic.
Although this conversation went much worse than expected, and even a little weird, it was going to go on anyway, Miss Gu turned her heart sideways: "Madame is noble, no wonder she doesn't know trivial matters, although the law does not prohibit the sale of servants and maids, but it stipulates that it is necessary to buy slaves and maids privately through the tooth shop, which is a violation of the law, if the folk girl really wants to sell herself, she should not be above the temple fair, but should go directly to the tooth shop." This is also the reason why when the spring return was designed, she was not worried that Zheng Hui, who had been secretly watching her, would be bought by someone else before she arrived.
Mrs. Shen suddenly: "I said, in the past, the housekeepers in the family had to go through the tooth people to buy servants and maids, and I also said that they were trying to save trouble, it turned out that the law had this provision, but such things as selling oneself and burying one's mother were often performed like this in the play, which made people believe it." ”
Spring Return: ......
Even the mother-in-law beside the Shen family couldn't listen to it anymore, and reminded: "Madam, what kind of Sun Shuban dares to leak Madame's whereabouts, it's too bold." ”
Chungui sighed secretly, this seemed to be the point, and hurriedly pleaded: "Madame forgive me, Sun Shuban and Mrs. Ji are sympathetic to the people's daughter's suffering, and only under the people's daughter's pleading, they dare to inform the people's daughter's whereabouts." ”
"It's okay, I'm not the emperor, and my whereabouts are a secret." Shen is very generous.
Spring Returns Again: ......
Or did the mother-in-law pay attention to the point: "The girl called Mrs. Ji, but the brother is Liang Guogong?" ”
Chungui sighed secretly, and it should be.
I heard Shen laugh and said: "Then it's even less of a problem, Mrs. Ji and my sister are also close friends, wait, Sister Ji's son is actually an errand under the master?" He is also a son of a famous family, how can he be a clerk? ”
At this time, even the mother-in-law complained: "Madam, Emperor Guangzong blamed Sun Jingwen for the crime of disrespect, not only beheaded Sun Jingwen, but also ordered his children and grandchildren to sit together, although Mrs. Ji was pardoned by Emperor Guangzong, and praised Mrs. Ji's chastity, and allowed her sister-in-law to not be executed, but ...... Mrs. Ji's son, Sun Ning, was also punished and banned from entering the office for life. "Being able to be a secretary is also for the sake of the Liang Guogong Mansion, giving Sun Ning a decent livelihood.
"Sister Ji is really pitiful, I want to ...... at the beginning"
"Madam, let's listen to what this girl said, what kind of situation was forced by Zheng Sanye to use this way to find Mrs. to redress her grievances."
Spring returns silently, it should be so.
I saw that Shen Shi actually raised his finger and pressed it to his lips: "Okay, I don't have much to say, the girl said, the girl said quickly, by the way, how can the girl be called?" ”
"The maiden's surname is Gu, her maiden name is Chungui, she belongs to Guhuai Village on the outskirts of Fenyang, and her father is a person raised in the sixth year of Hongfu." First explained his origin, Chungui felt that it was really not good to wait for Mrs. Shen to ask, and explained a series of reasons: "The ancestor passed away, the clan father coveted the people's daughter's one-room house, regardless of my mother's wishes, insisted on choosing an heir in the clan, the name Huaqu, is the son of the Shu branch, has reached the crown back then, but he never knows how to improve, and he is idle for the day, Ah Niang knows that the heir brother can not be counted, every time he is controlled, but he is obstructed by the clan father, the heir brother is by several cousins, the clan brother jumps, grew up in Fenyang City, drunk and gambling, debts are repeated, Ah Niang for the heir brother to pay off the debt, He sold a lot of land to the clan father. ”
took a deep breath and continued: "If this is the case, even if A-Niang and the people's daughter are sad, they don't dare to criticize the clan, however, the clan's grandson Sun Huaying has reached the age of the crown, and still can't go to school. Ah Niang is still uncompromising, preferring to sell all the land and property, leaving only the ancestral home. ”
"How could you have thought that one night, suddenly a thief forcibly broke into the house of the people's daughter, trying to destroy the innocence of the people's daughter, but fortunately the neighbors drove them away, so the thieves did not succeed."
Hearing this, Shen couldn't help but interject: "Then Zheng Huitang, how dare you be so bold?" "The bastard is really not wrong, Rong Guogong is really insightful.
"Not only A-Niang, but the people also thought that the thieves were afraid that they were instructed by Zheng Sanye, but later thought about it carefully, the Rongguo Mansion is a place of power, it is really Zheng Sanye's determination, and the thieves are probably not so easy to scare away, just like yesterday, in front of everyone, even if the people are angry and touch the wall, if it is not for the obstruction of the monks in the temple, Zheng Sanye will not pass the people's daughter, it is necessary to be strong, and he will be taken away in public."
"Miss Gu, in my opinion, that gang of thieves is actually your family's father-in-law?" Mrs. Shen frowned.
"Although the clan lord is greedy, he is afraid that he will not behave in the evil of violating the law, but the brother of the people's daughter, who is only bent on clinging to the powerful, is arrogant and impetuous, and the plot is frustrated because of the people's daughter, and he may act such impatiently."
Chungui brought out the despicable combination of the clan prince Gu Changrong's house, but saw that the Shen family was not as indignant as before at this time, and Chungui did not feel strange about her attitude towards her.
The mother and son of the brokerage wife analyzed the situation, and Chun Gui also understood that the newly succeeded Zhao Zhizhou was not the successor in the mind of the predecessor Shi Liangxing, and since Zhao Zhizhou arrived, under the exclusion of Shi Liangxing's party, the governance of local government affairs has been greatly unsmooth, so that he is sad and sick. Shi Liangxing had close contacts with the Rongguo Mansion in the past, which means that if Zhao Zhizhou wants to gain a firm foothold in Fenyang, he must attack the Rongguo Mansion and Shi Liangxing's former subordinates, although the Gu clan has power in Guhuai Village, it is not qualified to become Zhao Zhizhou's opponent, and Mrs. Shen is more concerned about how to use her to frustrate the Rongguo Mansion.
Chun returned to stabilize his mind and continued to say: "At that time, A-Niang thought that it was Zheng Sanye who did evil, and she knew that the widowed mother and orphan daughter who had lost shelter could no longer live in Guhuai Village, and even if she moved to Fenyang City, she was afraid that it would be difficult to find peace and quiet, and she was almost desperate, so she thought of Mrs. Ji and begged for containment. ”
Zheng Huitang is fierce and fierce, and the Sun family has been defeated, but Mrs. Ji, who was once honored by Emperor Guangzong, is still Liang Guogong after all, and Rong Guogong will never allow Zheng Huitang to trespass into Mrs. Ji's house, which is also Zheng Huitang, who vowed to take Chungui as his own and has been keeping an eye on it, until yesterday, after Wenchun was forced to be desperate and had to sell himself as a slave due to his mother's funeral, he finally took action in person.
"It was under the protection of Mrs. Ji that A-Niang and the people had a period of quiet, but A-Niang also understood that although Mrs. Ji could deter Zheng Sanye, she did not meddle in the affairs of other clans in the name, and A-Niang was worried about the marriage of the people's daughters, and she was so seriously ill that she couldn't afford it."
Shen said: "Since the death of Empress Dowager Ji, the situation of the Liangguo Mansion is not as good as before, Sister Ji is married and widowed, even if she has the heart, she really can't help your mother and daughter a lot, just rely on your mother, although it is not difficult to find a marriage for you, not to mention that there will be obstacles in the clan, even if it is successful, in Fenyang City, there are a few families who dare to compete with the Rongguo Mansion, then Zheng Huitang has taken a fancy to you, even if you marry someone, I am afraid that you will do something by force." ”
Mrs. Ji reminded the people that they should consider the things behind them for their mothers, and the women were also afraid of the many difficulties of the clan guild, so they begged each other twice, and sure enough, the clan family slandered A-Niang and went to innocence without telling her, and did not recognize A-Niang as Gu's wife, and did not allow A-Niang to be buried in the ancestral mausoleum, as a wife! A-Niang and A-Daddy are in love, how can they accept not to be buried with Daddy, and the clan father-in-law erased the status of husband and wife with Daddy, A-Niang has passed away, in order to realize A-Niang's last wish, the folk girl has to design, in this way to ask Mrs. for help. ”
The Shen family understood the ins and outs, and her curiosity was completely satisfied, although she was willing to help such a weak woman, and took the opportunity to add to the domineering Rongguo Gong and his wife, but she really had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the rest of the clans, so she became more and more kind to Chungui: "I may not see Sister Ji for a long time, so I can send the girl back to visit the old man." ”
