Chapter Seventy-Five: Farewell to Sister Cao's sad words shocked the government and the public
CHAPTER XXXV
Seeing Liu Xiaohu running out, Lin Saiyu didn't care about combing her hair, and tied her hair into a ponytail, fortunately, she didn't sleep last night, and the clothes on her body could be worn out.
"Why is my mother here?" Lin Saiyu didn't care about closing the door, and ran away without waiting for an answer after asking.
Ying'er immediately caught up, and cried while running: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, so I asked Daddy Zhang to bring a letter to your mother at home." β
Lin Saiyu didn't care about her, and ran straight towards the head-on alley outside the city, her speed was extremely fast, and the distance between her and Liu Xiaohu was getting closer and closer.
On the morning of the 27th day of the lunar month, whether it was the boatman rocking the boat on the Bianhe River, or the servant carrying the grain bag on the wharf, and then the manpower hired by the people at the entrance of the street and alley, they all stopped their work, stopped chatting, and looked at a man in disheveled clothes, a woman who did not comb her hair, and a girl with a door bolt in her hand, running wildly on the street.
"Which prodigal is this, molesting others, being chased and beaten!" Someone laughed.
"Wrong, wrong" someone waved his hand and said, "Xu was chased and beaten without paying the night money...... "While they were talking, the man was quickly caught up by the woman, but instead of the fight they imagined, he crossed over and went straight forward, the man seemed to be a little annoyed and tapped his hand twice, because he was out of breath and didn't speak, and then he was also crossed by the girl with the bolt, and then he couldn't take any breath, chased after him desperately, and soon disappeared from people's field of vision. "Could it be that there is something strange outside the city?" Someone came to a new conclusion, and immediately mobilized the common nature of all Chinese, regardless of ancient and modern, and soon gathered a group of people to chase along the route of the three people.
Lindsay Yu was a no-brainer, but Yingtou Alley was easy for her to find, because there were already three layers of people on the inside and three layers outside, some of the onlookers were combing their hair, some were carrying goods on their shoulders, some were rolling up their sleeves, carrying sticks covered with their faces, and some were holding children, standing on stones, walls, and trees and houses, as long as they could stand on people's places.
"Bullshit little whore! I can't scold you? How dare you scold me? Who am I, you ask? You drown in urine and take a picture of your own house, relying on that kind of bully to stop the man, bombarding my sister, supporting your nest, I will kill you today, and the theory will come to the king of Hades, and you will be sentenced to the oil pot! Lu crossed his waist, his hair was messy, and he stood at the door of Song Yulou's house, scolding the ground.
Looking at the Song family again, the blind old lady was in the corner of the door, crying breathlessly, Song Yulou was crooked on the ground, her hair was grabbed and scattered, and she was covered in mud, crying there, only saying Auntie, I didn't.
"Phew!" Lu Shi spat head-on, spit out Song Yulou's body, and said: "I heard about it as soon as I entered the city, who doesn't know that you, a shitty bitch, are trying to get my son-in-law to drive my sister, and you dare to mess with others, I will die here if I don't beat you down today!" Saying that, he grabbed Song Yulou's hair with his hand, and hit him with his hand, Song Yulou couldn't hide from crying, he was supported by Lu and hit the wall, and no one dared to step forward to pull the fight, hearing her daughter's crying, Aunt Song took a breath, followed the sound and hit her head, crying: "If you want to kill my sister, first cross my old woman." β
Lu Shi was hit by this, stumbled and fell, paused in the mud, the onlookers laughed, the golden egg on the side saw that his mother had suffered a loss, the small pillar leg kicked, and hit the crying Song Yulou, Song Yulou fell a few steps away, the two rolled on the ground, Song Yulou's breath was really unbearable, and the golden egg pressed on the body was pinched with a dead hand, the golden egg screamed, waved his hand and hit, after all, he was a child of a few years old, Song Yulou is a woman's family, he can't beat it, and he was hammered several times, Song Yulou kicked him in the heart, kicked the child out, heard Lu's scream in his ears, and was about to prevent her from rushing over, when someone grabbed his head from behind and punched him a few times, and he couldn't help but have a golden star in his eyes and a splitting headache.
"Damn, you dare to do it? Why don't you load it low? Lin Saiyu grabbed Song Yulou's hair and kicked it in the back, Song Yulou fell to the ground, Lin Saiyu was still going to fight, seeing that Song Auntie groped and pounced to protect it, crying heaven and earth, so she stopped her hand, turned around and picked up the golden egg from the ground, patted the soil and asked where it was? When Jin Dan saw his sister coming, he cried and said that his stomach hurt, and Lindsay lifted his clothes and saw that his waist was bruised.
"What a fucking ......" Lindsay Yu was angry, Lu also saw it, the golden egg is her lifeblood, where is she willing to spare this time, she pounced on it and tore up with the mother and daughter of the Song family, Song Auntie hugged Lu's leg and cried to block, Lu grabbed Song Yulou's hair, Song Yulou hugged Lu's waist and rolled on the ground, the people around were fascinated, and even the merchants who rushed over to sell porridge were not afraid to squeeze the porridge and drill into the crowd.
Liu Xiaohu almost lost his breath when he ran here, and when he saw this scene, he didn't come up in one breath, roared, and rushed over to pull them away, the three of them were entangled together, and they couldn't be separated for a while, Liu Xiaohu pulled Song Yulou into his arms, and as soon as he pushed his shoulders, he heard Song Yulou scream in pain, and Lu Shi grabbed a strand of her hair and fell to the ground.
Seeing Song Yulou fainting in his arms, Liu Xiaohu's face turned purple, and he handed Song Yulou into the hands of Aunt Song, took a few steps over and pointed at Lu Shi and said, "Vixen!" You are crazy! β
Lu Shi jumped up from the ground, grabbed Liu Xiaohu and slapped him in the ear, and scolded: "The little monkey who forgot his roots also came to fart in front of his mother!" β
Where can Liu Xiaohu be hit by her, stretched out his hand to block a palm and pushed over, Lu Shi used his strength for a long time, couldn't withstand his angry push, and fell down in a few steps, and at this time, the officials who heard the news also blasted away the crowd and squeezed in, and they were fortunate to see the most terrible scene of murder in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Lin Saiyu saw that the Lu family was pushed by Liu Xiaohu at one glance, and at the other glance, she also saw that the officials squeezed in, reached out and grabbed the door in Ying'er's hand, and smashed Liu Xiaohu's head hard.
Liu Xiaohu saw that the woman's face was enlarged in front of him, accompanied by the sound of the wooden board breaking, and the smell of blood was in his nose, he didn't feel pain, but his eyes were dark, and he went straight down, and he seemed to hear the woman whispering in his ear: "I don't need you to thank you!" "Thanks? Thanks for what? Thank whom? This strange question did not bother Liu Xiaohu, because he fell into a coma in an instant.
The emperor in the deep palace can not be restless this New Year, first went to Jiangning to visit Wang Anshi's people to return, so that the phase was sick, panicked that the emperor sent a national doctor overnight to diagnose and treat, now although Wang Anshi retired from the court, but the emperor still made him the head of Jiangning, and enjoyed the "envoy" treatment, in addition to not participating in political affairs, enjoy the original Yulu, it can be seen how deep he has feelings for this old man, the emperor sighed, and then picked up a book on the case, saw that it was Li Dingshangshu, the emperor who was already a little tired and did not plan to look at it again sat upright, Li Ding is a disciple recommended by Wang Anshi, although he violated the system and was unfilial because of his begging for control, but there was no problem in other aspects, looking at this twist, the emperor's face was suddenly not good, and he snapped the fold together, and said: "Liu Yanzhang is actually a concubine and a wife?" Do you still want to raise a concubine as a wife? Come on, go and announce Liu Yanzhang's coming, I want to ask him. β
His own attendants should go, but when he came back, he didn't bring Liu Xiaohu, the person who came was Yushi Deng Xuan, he didn't need to look at it to know that the emperor was angry, and he hurriedly knelt down.
"What are you here to do? It just so happens that you, who are the imperial historians, should also take care of this matter! The emperor said, threw Li Ding's recital down, Deng Juan hurriedly picked it up, opened it and glanced at it, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is here for this matter, don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister is in Lord Liu's mansion, received Your Majesty's will, and the minister specially came to ask for guilt." β
"Oh, you're here to plead guilty? What I want to ask today is not you, the imperial historian's crime of negligence, but he Liu Yanzhang still dares to resist the decree and not come? The emperor was even more angry, stood up, and coughed a few times because he was too angry, and the attendants beside him were a little panicked, and knelt down to ask His Majesty to calm his anger.
"Your Majesty, it's not that Lord Liu didn't come, but he couldn't come, and now he is still unconscious." Deng Juan knelt down and said that he was mourning.
The emperor was a little surprised, for this young small farmer, the emperor still liked it very much, and was busy asking what was going on, Deng Juan sighed, and started the matter from the beginning, first talking about Liu Xiaohu's family background, the emperor originally knew that the Liu family was convicted, but because it involved Wang Anshi, he didn't want to delve into it, and he felt some pity in his heart, Deng Juan saw that the emperor's face improved, and began to talk about how to get married, and then how to meet Song Yulou, and finally naturally described the matter of Sister Cao and her mother and brother beating her husband violently all over the capital.
"It's disgusting! Is there such a wicked woman? After hearing this, the emperor still had the slightest intention of reproaching Liu Xiaohu, and shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, the minister sent someone to Shifang Village to inquire, according to the villagers, the Cao family is stubborn at home, and scolds his parents at every turn, because of family affairs, the parents quarrel, and the Cao family actually said that they had to be killed to be clean, Your Majesty, the parents are still like this, and they sigh at others?" Deng Juan shook his head as he spoke, wiping his tears, "Poor Lord Liu, I was beaten to the point that my head was bleeding, and Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she fainted, and now, both mother and son are unconscious, that Cao and his mother broke into the house, and they were rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to ask for the title deed of the family, and the Song family didn't dare to move at all, let him beat and scold and beg in front of the house, and was willing to die to beg Cao's anger, if it wasn't for the lower officials to bring people to arrive in time, I don't know what the trouble would be!" β
The emperor was already trembling with anger about this matter, but he still had a trace of reason, and asked, "Then where did the Song family come from?" But what Master Li said, is it a happy household? β
Deng Juan sighed again, took out the paperwork, and said: "Speaking of which, Lord Liu is really affectionate and righteous, this Song family is the daughter of the Song family of the Daimyo Mansion, and the Liu family has been friends for generations, and the ancestors have been officials for generations, and it has been passed to her father's generation, and she is still in the shadow of the local capital prison, and then because of the green seedlings ......" said here, Deng Juan quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, and saw that he was not displeased, so he hurriedly sped up his speech and said, "The family moved to the capital, because of the early death of his father and the decline of the family, leaving only the blind old mother, and having to be an orphan girl to support the family, and to perform on the terrace with a clean body, Not a prostitute. β
The Emperor nodded and sighed, "That's okay. Then his face sank, "That Cao's behavior is really hateful!" β
Deng Juan nodded and sighed, and said: "It's a pity that Mrs. Liu endured the beating and scolding, but she couldn't rest thinking that her wife was a bad chaff, and the Song family had already said goodbye, and she was going to leave Beijing with her mother and return home on the same day." β
His own Aiqing was treated like this at home, where can the emperor look at it, the matter quickly reached the ears of the harem queen mother, and it was a coincidence that the emperor's brother Zhao Hao and his wife Feng were in a famine, and the queen mother felt sorry for her son, and was complaining that the women in the world were becoming more and more unruly, and now she heard Cao beating her husband on the street, and she was so angry that she wanted to faint.
"That Cao Shi, I was also a courtesy person when I looked at it, but I had such a ruthless heart, and I also rewarded her at the beginning, didn't this slap me in the face?" Empress Dowager Cao listened to Empress Dowager Gao's words, and slapped the table case angrily, so panicked that everyone knelt down to plead guilty.
"Yes, if she is really a prostitute, she will just make trouble, then the Song family is from an official family, and they respect her very much, and when they heard that they were not allowed to enter the house, they were busy taking their mother out of Beijing, just for fear of ruining the reputation of the Liu family." Empress Dowager Gao wiped her tears and took out a few pieces of paper, "Look, pitiful, it's a talented person who wrote a few good words." β
Empress Dowager Cao likes poetry the most, so she hurriedly took it over to read it, and liked the Song family a little more, pulled her face, and said: "I heard that the Cao family is not only making trouble to reconcile and leave, but also dividing the property of the Liu family, go, pass on my will, let the Liu family take a break from the Cao family, and the slightest property is not allowed to be divided!" It's a wake-up call for the women of the world! β
After the news came, Lin Saiyu was dumbfounded, and beat and pounded on the table with her hand, playing big! She didn't expect to lose her land!
"Sister, it's not good to be a mother! My mother wanted to make a fuss and give the woman a dismount, so that she could be tamed, and she wouldn't bully you when she entered the door, but she didn't want you to be divorced! Lu Shi cried loudly and slapped himself in the face again and again, so panicked that Lin Saiyu hurriedly stopped him and sighed, there is nothing he can do now.
"Mother, let's go back, only plant the little bit of land in our family, and I can also ensure that we are full." Lin Saiyu persuaded, the Lu family was finally incomprehensible, sighed all day long, and even ran to the door of the Liu family to kneel, kowtow and admit his mistake, but the door of the Liu family would not be opened for the people of their Cao family again.
On the third day of the first lunar month, it was a festive moment, Lin Saiyu sold his jewelry and hired a carriage to pull Lu and the golden eggs out of the capital, and ran to Cheng'an.
Lindsay Yu was talking to the golden egg, teasing him with some tricks of firecrackers, Lu Shi sighed and said: "Now that this is the case, it is a waste of money to buy this." β
Lin Saiyu said with a smile: "Anyway, there is no money, and there are not a few of them, so I want to be happy for the New Year." β
Lu Shi's heart was sour, and he cried again, only saying that he ruined his sister, ruined his sister, Lin Saiyu couldn't cry or laugh, and was just about to comfort him, when the donkey cart stopped suddenly, and the three of them fell together.
"Why don't you leave?" Lin Saiyu lifted the curtain of the car and asked, and saw a delicate green skirt and mink skin jacket standing in front of her, and greeted her when she came out.
"Sister, we'll give you a ride." Mrs. Wu, who was wearing a sable hood, was the first to speak, and the maid next to her held the wine.
Lin Saiyu suddenly felt that her nose was sour, she hadn't cried for a long time, but at this time, she couldn't help but shed tears, hurriedly stretched out her hand and took her head and drank it all, and bowed to everyone and said: "I, Cao Hua, have thanked all the ladies, and my Cao Hua has today, so I will not come to this capital in vain." β
These ladies are all made friends at daily banquets, looking at the past, most of them are face-to-face, thinking that she Cao Hua is now reprimanded by the Queen Mother herself, it can be said that she has the name of an evil woman in the world, it stands to reason that all women should avoid it, but I didn't expect that these noble ladies who she had made perfunctory friends in the past dared to come to see off in person, so how could she hold back Lin Saiyu's tears.
"Sister, find a good family and get married." Mrs. Wu held her hand and said, while giving a cloth bag, "This is the dowry that my sister gave you." β
Seeing this, the other women also held gifts, which soon filled Lindsay's arms.
"How does this work? Cao Hua didn't dare to take it. Lin Saiyu's eyes were hazy with tears, and she was busy talking, and she saw Ah Yuan walk out, put a big burden on the car, and said: "Ah Yuan has no money, so he only made a few clothes, shoes and feet, so that you will not be ugly when you remarry." β
Lin Saiyu laughed and said: "Good sister, I can't help the stage after all, even if I dress up, I will inevitably be disliked, what you said that day is very accurate." β
Ah Yuan cried and said, "You still said that you knew I didn't mean that......" As he spoke, he turned around and walked away, his shoulders shrugged.
Lin Saiyu only felt a sullen breath in his chest, his heart was like a mother, he had worn it for so long, we haven't embezzled anything, they all said that Song Yulou was extraordinary, and today we Lindsay Yu also came to a poem, isn't it a poem, I couldn't help but put the gift in my hand on the ground, waved my hands and said: "Come on, pen and ink waiting!" β
Coincidentally, these ladies were equipped with paper and pen in their cars, so after looking at each other, someone took it out, and saw Lindsay Yu roll up her sleeves, put down the pen like a god, and read in her mouth: "Red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, the city is full of spring palace walls and willows, the east wind is evil, the joy is thin, a cup of sorrow, a few years away, wrong, wrong, wrong, spring is the same, people are empty and thin, and tears are red and transparent; The peach blossoms fall, the idle pond pavilion, although the mountain league is there, the brocade book is difficult to trust, Mo, Mo, Mo. β
After writing, he threw the pen away, bowed down to everyone present, got into the donkey cart and laughed, leaving everyone standing in place.
After a long time, someone shouted, "Good words!" Immediately, everyone reacted, and rushed to the front of the case together, and the joy was suddenly extinguished, and the words in front of them were like heavenly books!
"I remember, I remember, I memorized it." One of the women hurriedly shouted, while reading it out busily, someone took a brush and remembered, Lin Saiyu should thank this woman with a good memory, if it weren't for her, the only poem that Sister Cao did in her life would have disappeared into the long river of history, which would be the sorrow of the entire Song Dynasty.
The poems quickly spread, and the thousands of hearts and feelings expressed in them were so appropriate, they were sung throughout the city for a while, and they were spread to the harem so that the Empress Dowager Cao was stunned for a long time, and she didn't say a word, and after a long time she muttered: "I shouldn't blame this child, right?" β
Lin Saiyu didn't think about the consequences caused by this poem, so that when Lu You reunited with his ex-wife Tang Wan in later generations, he was full of love, resentment, thought, and pity, and he couldn't write a word, only lamented: "Mrs. Cao's cover my words!" β
