Chapter 46: Zeng Guofan's Anger
The second more
"Hongzhang?" Zeng Guofan looked at Li Hongzhang blankly, he didn't expect that Li Hongzhang would dare to talk to him like this. He spoke as if he were heinous. Who is not like this, the wife takes care of the elderly in his hometown, and they are officials outside with their concubines? Daughter like this, what's the problem!
"From what happened to now, have you asked her? Have you ever worried about her? Or, waiting for Yuan Yusheng to return from hard labor, do you still want Ji Jing to return to Yuan's house? Because it's the truth you believe in! Even if, in the end, Ji Jing was finally killed. ”
Li Hongzhang looked at his teacher, and once he thought that he was really a model in his life. But now, he looked at his mentor.
"Do you think it's all the teacher's fault? Shouldn't he marry his daughter to that brute when he was a teacher in the first place? Zeng Guofan looked at Li Hongzhang suspiciously.
"Is that right? Did the students always say that Yuan Yusheng was definitely not a good match? Besides, he never married a wife, but he took a concubine during the filial piety period, such an unfaithful and unfilial person, but you pushed your daughter into the fire pit for the so-called faithfulness! Li Hongzhang doesn't care, these days, everyone is asking themselves this question, including his wife, why? He also wanted to know why, who was going to tell him.
"That's the letter between the old man and Brother Yuan, don't stop because Brother Yuan died!" Zeng Guofan said calmly, he felt that wherever he said, he was right.
"Okay, so, in your heart, the faith of a gentleman is greater than the sky, just like killing a son and serving his mother in the twenty-four filial piety, right? Then now that you have discovered that Yuan Yusheng is not a good person, and you have cut off relations with him, why don't you let Ji Jing go home? Let Ji Jing go home at this time, the world will not say that you are unrighteous, but why? Why did you force your daughter to serve her mother-in-law even though you had kicked Yuan Yusheng out of the house? Li Hongzhang was about to vomit blood, looking at Zeng Guofan, who had a righteous and awe-inspiring face.
"Shouldn't you serve your mother-in-law? Have you read books to the belly of a dog all these years? Zeng Guofan stood up sharply and asked sharply.
"Yes, I was wrong, you were right. You'd better draw a line with your students, right? If it were my daughter, I would not use my own daughter to fulfill my faith. Although I am incompetent and can't punish him like the emperor, I will take someone to break both of his hands! Slap my daughter once, I'll slap him ten! Serving my mother-in-law? When he beat my daughter, did he ever think that my mother-in-law would cry too? ”
Li Hongzhang stopped vomiting blood this time, he stood up straight, he really didn't expect that his teacher was still a great debater. He finally gave up now, and he really understood what Qingyu meant at this time. A person who is so rigid for his feathers, he will really kill people without blinking.
"You ......" Zeng Guofan especially wanted to say that he was confused, but before he could speak, Li Hongzhang opened and spoke again.
"Forget it, you don't have to say I'm confused. For Ji Jing's lawsuit, neither you nor I can influence it. According to the new constitution of previous years, both men and women are considered adults after the age of eighteen. So if Ji Jing wants to sue Yuan Yusheng now, it is her right. Even if you take my name, it is impossible for Shuntianfu not to be judged. Li Hongzhang smiled at him, but still explained the constitution that had been passed before.
Zeng Guofan still remembered the constitution, he read it at the time and thought it was all nonsense. Who does not know that the territory of their country is sacrosanct. And every common person is a complete adult when he reaches the age of eighteen, and he doesn't think much about this, he doesn't even think about it, this also includes women.
"I'm going to see Ji Jing, I can't be so embarrassed." Zeng Guofan saw that Li Hongzhang revealed his thoughts, although he didn't say it explicitly, he also wanted Li Hongzhang to stop the lawsuit. This lawsuit can't be fought, it's really fought, it's too embarrassing. Now that Li Hongzhang made it clear that he didn't want to help, he decided to go to his eldest daughter.
"Teacher, the best thing now is to do nothing." Li Hongzhang pressed the teacher and asked him to sit down. Although he was angry, he didn't want to watch his teacher be stupid, "It's all written in the newspaper, you let Ji Jing stop suing now, can the person above agree?" Besides, the student has already asked, Ji Jing will not appear, and a teacher will come forward on his behalf. Rest assured! ”
But at this time, Li Hongzhang was a little cold, and the teacher finally thought of his injured daughter under his own reminder, but the problem was that he asked her to withdraw the lawsuit when he looked for his daughter.
"And Mrs., you really don't care? There are also three younger sisters, none of whom have yet to get married......" Li Hongzhang decided to remind Ouyang and the other three daughters who had been away from home for so long, the newspaper did not say Ji Jing's name and identity, it was a case, but Ouyang had publicly reconciled with Zeng Guofan, and this was the time to recover the impact. It's just right to take my wife and children back.
"That's what she's going to do on her own." Zeng Guofan was angry, he had just been yelled at by Li Hongzhang, and his heart was originally unhappy, but now that he was mentioned Ouyang again, he was almost annoyed and angry. If Ji Jing's marriage made him feel embarrassed, Ouyang's public proposal for reconciliation and divorce made him feel ashamed and embarrassed.
After all, the girl whose daughter married spilled the water, a friend recently asked him, and he replied: "As the old saying goes, if you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a housekeeper." The old man doesn't care about it, but it's actually for their good. ”
But his wife's public divorce made him the target of public criticism. The wife's actions make everyone think that he is not only an incompetent father, but also an incompetent husband. All the previous false rumors have come true.
"But what about them? I heard that my wife didn't bring any money! Li Hongzhang knew that when the Ouyang family left, the girl was all with her, and the deed of sale was still in the Zeng family.
To be honest, he really doesn't worry about Ouyang's mother and daughter, the queen mother won't care, he is worried about his teacher. If Zeng Guofan can show some husband and wife love at this time, maybe the end will be better.
"What should they do, what's the matter with the old man, anyway, in your opinion, the old man is already that ruthless and unrighteous person, so it's better for them to stay away from the old man."
Zeng Guofan brushed his sleeves away, he felt that his wife saw the royal family's contempt for him, so he really responded to the old saying, and flew separately when disaster came.
He even felt that she didn't bring anything, just to seek royal sympathy. Even, he would suspect that his wife was not so smart, and would know that the yamen had a harmony and a departure table, and that he would have to leave the newspaper if he published it.
He felt that all this was a royal conspiracy, a conspiracy to hit himself, so think about it, now that Li Hongzhang asked him to give them money, he felt that he was crazy before he agreed.
