Chapter 126: Confronting the Inspectorate (4)
The next day, he waited for an opportunity to sneak a peek at the girl next door. This look is stupid.
The bright sunlight shone in front of the window, and the woman's black hair was lightly pulled and her skin was crystal clear. The side face of the weaving cloth with her head bowed was intact, and although the silk cloth covered her face, Chen Lin could also imagine the quiet beauty of her face.
What's even more peculiar is that the woman's temperament is elegant, obviously not the daughter of an ordinary family, but a bit of an official lady's demeanor!
Chen Lin then acquiesced to Liu's idea.
So, Liu cheered up and got serious about socializing with his new neighbor.
At the beginning, the girl next door couldn't speak, and she couldn't move rudely, and she couldn't refuse Liu's enthusiasm, but after a few times, she had experience, no matter how she knocked on the door, she wouldn't open it, and she clearly rejected people inside and outside. Liu was very good at camping, so she waited outside the shop where she sold cloth every month. The girl was overwhelmed, and when she had to prepare to move, there was an accident.
The government came to the door to thoroughly check the household registration.
During the Ming Dynasty, the household registration system was strict. Registered every 10 years, the fugitives are either repatriated or resettled by the government.
The girl was obviously afraid of the people in the government, and in desperation, she knocked on the door of the Liu family next door.
Liu is worried that he has nowhere to start, and people will automatically send it to the door! Under the surprise, she also caught the girl's weakness: her identity is not visible!
At this time, the official outside the door had knocked on the door with a bang, and Liu forced his composure and welcomed the official errand.
Chen Lin showed his talent at this time: he was politely treated by the officials as a showman, and the officials were smiling. Wan Niang hid behind him, her palms wet and cold sweat.
"Look, my lords, this is my family's certificate of residence."
The yellowed paper clearly records that the Chen family originally had three people. The head of the household, Chen Lin, is seven years old. Mother Liu E, 25 years old. A daughter, Lin Wan'er, is nine years old.
When the official saw Lin Wan'er, he looked up at the girl in the house, frowned and asked, "Who is Lin Wan'er in your family?" ”
Chen Lin smiled, looked at the girl affectionately and said, "It's my wife since I was a child." ”
The girl seemed to be shy and did not dare to raise her head.
Liu said to the official in a low voice: "Wanniang's life is hard, and her family sold my family since she was a child. It's just that they haven't rounded up yet, so Wanniang can't be regarded as my daughter-in-law yet. ”
The official almost nodded: "Okay." Then I wish Chen Xiucai a big and small Dengke, double happiness! ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Chen Lin sent the official away, and then sent the girl back to the courtyard next door, and said to her before leaving: "You are lonely and helpless, and your background is pitiful, and I have also lost my father since I was a child. The same is the end of the world. That's why I took the risk of a great sin to cover it up for you. But I can only help you for a while, not for a lifetime. ”
The girl bowed her head and was grateful to him.
"It's just that you can't hold the fire in the paper. If this news spreads, there will be suspicion among the neighbors, and if they go to the government to denounce me, they are afraid that my future will be ruined! Chen Lin made persistent efforts, "I want to go to Nanjing to participate in this year's autumn festival." My mother went with me, and I probably won't be back. ”
The girl naturally understood what he meant.
"The identity of Wan Niang is not written on the household register." Chen Lin left a meaningful sentence.
The girl was puzzled. I didn't sleep all night. The Chen family rescued her from the moment of danger, and Chen Lin was a talent again. Although Liu is annoying, it is also good to think about. Otherwise, how could she risk deceiving the government by someone who has nothing to do with her?
Thinking that he was traveling around for refuge, if he could get an identity household, he would save countless troubles. But - she touched her face, day and night, how long could her secret be hidden?
The girl thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to gamble, and moved to a village outside Nanjing overnight with Chen Lin's mother and son. She began her days of weaving cloth to support her family.
For some reason, the girl can weave more and better cloth, but she is deliberately low-key, and she weaves no more or no less cloth every month, which is enough for her family. When Chen Lin was in urgent need of silver, she hurried to weave more plain silk.
Liu was angry and anxious, but he couldn't do anything about her. The girl is not Wan Niang's temper that can be frustrated, although she belongs to her own family, but it annoys her, and it is not half good! She simply pretended to have an eye disease, and half of the housework was handed over to Wan Niang.
As for Chen Lin, he was very patient and slowly approached Wan Niang and curry favor with her. Finally coaxed Wan Niang to deliver her sincerity!
Thinking back to the old things, Chen Lin was not full of melancholy, raised his eyes and saw that Wanniang's cold and ruthless face no longer had half of the tenderness of the past, and saw the indifferent demeanor of his father-in-law and Yun Luan, and he was suddenly shocked!
Is his future really going to be ruined in this inspectorate?
"Now that the deed of sale has been burned," Bai Tang smiled with a smile, "Wan Niang's household registration has also moved out of the Chen family!" ”
How dare Chen Lin object.
Ding Ruzhen smiled and asked, "It's just that where is Wanniang's household registration going to move in?" ”
When Bai Tang groaned, Wan Niang had already firmly written three words: Practice Bai Tang!
Before Bai Tang could answer, Qiu An shouted: "How can it be done?" Wan Niang, in what capacity did she move into your household? It is not in line with reason or law. In my opinion, there should be a female household for Wanniang! ”
Ding Ruzhen nodded: "What Xu Sanye said is reasonable. ”
Wan Niang thought about it and agreed with a smile.
Qiu An's eyes rolled, stared at Liu and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what should I do with this poisonous woman?" ”
Everyone is in the same place. Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate is called the same as the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department is also called the Three Divisions, it does not have the function of convicting and sentencing. What's more, Liu's inner house is vicious and scheming, and it has not hurt people's lives. They really can't handle it.
Qiu An nodded to himself and said, "You can't do it." But there should always be family rules, right? He forced Chen Lin, "What should be done with this kind of woman if she follows the clan rules?" ”
Chen Lin looked at the old lady, ruthless, and said: "My mother was born in the countryside, she doesn't understand the rules and has no awe. Why don't you let her learn the rules and know the reason! He looked at Wan Niang, "The Li family has a family temple." I send my mother to Qing Xiu to forgive my sins, is it feasible? ”
Qiu Anha's voice: "Li Family Temple? Square peg. I have a good place to go, perfect for my mother. He smiled coldly, "Didn't Chen Juren say that he wanted to learn the rules?" Do you want to make her feel awe? How about sending him to the royal dedication nunnery to become a nun and chanting the Buddha for his own sins? ”
Ding Ruzhen and all the imperial historians drank tea and did not comment.
Li Chongyuan frowned: "Jingye Nunnery is a nunnery that prays for the ladies in the palace. Liu, she-"
"The host of Jingye Nunnery used to be the grandmother of the palace. The rules are one class and one good. Besides, it is a great blessing to be able to enter the Jingye Nunnery to practice! Others can't ask for it. Qiu An sneered, and said with a deep meaning, "With your mother's anger, how can an ordinary family temple influence her?" The matter is settled, I will tell the host that I will come to pick up people within three days! ”
Monk as a nun, or a dedication nunnery known for its piety and hardship! Liu's mouth opened wide, resentful and desperate to cover up, seeing that her son and in-laws were speechless and acquiescing, she was sad and cried, this time she was really sad. Crying so miserably and sadly: "Wan Niang, Wan Niang, save me, for the sake of my obedience to you in the past three years, you can say two good words, I don't want to become a nun-" She hasn't enjoyed enough of her son's blessings! How can you become a monk?
Chen Lin stepped forward to support her with red eyes and whispered a few words in her ear. Liu's crying gradually subsided.
"Mother. You atone for your sins in the dedication hermitage, and I will come to see you often. Chen Lin hid the joy in his eyes. Folded off an old lady in exchange for her own safety, not a loss, but a gain! If the old lady doesn't understand anything, she will cause trouble for herself. Locked up in the nunnery, he and Yun Luan can still have a quiet peace!
Liu couldn't stop her tears: she had stayed up for so many years, calculated everything for her son, and only enjoyed a few days of happiness, and she was going to the place where she didn't see the light of day!
However, she also knows that she must help her son carry this matter! Otherwise, she really won't have a bright future!
