The Great Song Dynasty had an extremely enlightened attitude towards widows, which stemmed from the fact that there were many widows in the frontier for many years, especially in the Western Army area, and even widow villages, which were very unfavorable to the population development of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the state stipulates that a widowed woman can remarry after three years of widowhood, and others cannot stop her, except for the elderly, weak, and widows.

In other words, a widow can remarry, but if there are elderly and children in the family, she is not allowed to marry unless the man is willing to support the old man for the rest of his life. This rule is for the sake of the soldiers on the battlefield. Isn't it chilling that those soldiers threw their heads and spilled their blood, died on the battlefield, their wives remarried, and their mothers and fathers had no one to support?

The law is dead, but man is alive. There are those who are enlightened and will let their daughters-in-law remarry or recruit sons-in-law. If there is a thief, he will bully his daughter-in-law and not allow him to leave, and ask his daughter-in-law to raise him for life.

Zhao Lingwu disappeared, the government searched for many days, and finally picked up a jade talisman on the bank of the Yellow River in Lankao, which was the Taoist fish talisman given to Wang Han by the official family in the past, which was engraved with the words Xuannu disciple, and there was only this one in the world.

Only the jade talisman does not see people, and it is self-evident what the meaning of the inside represents.

The jade talisman was sent to the Zhao Mansion, and Li Qingzhao was instantly weak and collapsed to the ground. Cai Xiang was crying and screaming. Red Bean was dumbfounded, as if he heard something that had nothing to do with him.

When the news spread, the whole of Tokyo shook, and the number one person in the world just died? The rumored God of War is gone?

For a time, the streets and alleys laughed and talked, there were those who regretted, those who mocked, and those who applauded.

When the news reached Zhang's ears, the portrait was cramped, and he instantly aged more than ten years.

There was no corpse, so the women made him a clothed mound, which can be regarded as an explanation. After the funeral, Zhang called his two daughters-in-law to his side to arrange the funeral.

Said: "My son is blessed, I can't enjoy your blessings, now that I am dead, I should plan for the living, Qingzhao, Xiang'er, you are all a good daughter-in-law in ten thousand, and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also my creation, and the old body is grateful to you!" ”

Saying and bowing, the two daughters-in-law hurriedly supported them, and Cai Xiang was still arrogant, wiping tears and crying.

Zhang said again: "You are still young, I have suffered from widowhood, I can't bear to let you have the same fate as me, after a hundred days, you will go to find a good family." ”

The old woman said this, the two daughters-in-law shook their heads at the same time, and Li Qingzhao said: "Don't mention this matter again, Qingzhao is your daughter-in-law one day, and eternal life is your daughter-in-law." ”

Cai Xiang was annoyed, "Why does my mother-in-law look down on people like this?" Since ancient times, it has been said that a good woman does not obey her second husband, and my mother-in-law is humiliating me when she says this. ”

Zhang's mouth was stupid, and he explained, "I understand the truth, but this single day is really difficult, it's better to live in one month or two, and it's difficult to live in a year or two, not to mention, you have been boiling for decades, and I am also good for you." ”

Cai Xiang continued to be annoyed, "If my mother-in-law says this, I will go with the officials, and I will save decades of hard work." Saying so, doing so, the tiger's head and tiger brain were about to hit the pillar, and the maids on both sides hurriedly grabbed and comforted.

Zhang was speechless and looked at Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao was not annoyed, but said lightly: "This matter should not be mentioned again, my mother-in-law can live alone and widow for decades, and I can live for decades." ”

Hearing this, the Zhang family sighed, so they had to give up, but they knew in their hearts that their son had just died, and the two daughters-in-law couldn't wipe off their face, so they would be so decisive, and if they really let them stay for two years, they would know that they were powerful.

It is also strange that Zhang's is anxious, and he has to drive his daughter-in-law out of the house just after the first seven, which is unreasonable. It is usually not mentioned until 100 days later.

Zhang's was anxious and helpless, she was used to living a small life and just wanted to save money. In the past, when her son was alive, she didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and her two daughters-in-law raised her, so she didn't have to worry about it. Now that his son has passed away and he has lost his main income, his two daughters-in-law are extravagant, and they never save money on food and clothing, which is all their own money.

The son is dead, but what about the grandson? Although the red bean is ugly, the child is his own flesh and blood, and he will be raised in the future, so he may be a hero. The money you save now will be left to your grandchildren in the future. If you can kick the two daughters-in-law out of the house early, the house on Xiaoyu Street can still be sold at a good price, even if it is not sold, it will be money if it is rented out.

This is not Zhang's calculation, this is forced by life.

But she forgot that Li Qingzhao had already been canonized, had a salary, and would not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of her life. If she remarries, she will become someone else's daughter-in-law, and she will no longer enjoy the court's money.

Li Qingzhao is a noble character, how can he talk about remarriage before her husband's bones are cold.

The two daughters-in-law were reluctant to go, and the Zhang family was helpless, so they gave an order, "In this case, they all moved in with me, so that they could take care of it." ”

There are no men in the family, women are not at home, of course the old woman has to be in charge, since she wants to keep filial piety to her son, then the rules are good.

As a result, a large family of people all moved to live in the Hou Mansion, and suddenly it seemed cramped.

The master bedroom of the Hou Mansion is used by the Zhang family, and there are a few wings, which are relatively not as good as the master bedroom, if arranged according to identity, Li Qingzhao is the biggest, when the house is the largest, Cai Xiang is the second, and the red bean is the last. But here is the Zhang family, and she actually gave the master bedroom to Hongdou, she moved to the largest wing, and let Li Qingzhao live in a small one, as for Cai Xiang, she lived in the smallest, no different from a maid's room.

Acting like this, Cai Xiang, who was angry, blew up his lungs and asked his mother-in-law, why did he give the biggest red beans?

My mother-in-law said that Hongdou is pregnant and is the most important person in our family.

Cai Xiang is unbalanced in one sentence, he wants to cry, he is a daughter at home, and everyone has to hold it, but marrying into the Zhao family has to suffer these angers, it is really enough.

is angry, can't be messy at others, only hate the red bean in his heart, and think this ugly woman is redundant.

Zhengqi was not smooth, I felt nauseous in my stomach, I wanted to vomit and couldn't vomit, I thought it was a cold, I didn't care, and I slept that night. The next morning, I had dinner, and I just smelled a smell of oil, and I felt nauseous and retched.

Zhang looked wrong, went to the doctor, finished the pulse, and said, "Congratulations, happy pulse." ”

Everyone was stunned, Cai Xiang couldn't believe his ears, after confirming that it was Ximai, people became very different, although his lower abdomen was flat, he had to hold and pinch when he walked, his hand held his waist, and he went back to his small house and cried, thinking about the official, why did he leave so early and make himself suffer.

Cai Xiang was happy, and Zhang naturally treated her differently, and asked her why she was crying, saying that she was aggrieved and depressed. The Zhang family was about to change rooms with her, Cai Xiang shook his head, "I'm not one of those people who don't know the etiquette and don't know the severity, dare to let my mother-in-law live in a small room, how can I be worthy of the officials under Jiuquan?" ”

This was said to Hongdou, and the frightened Hongdou was scared and took the initiative to give up his room for Cai Xiang to live. Cai Xiang didn't shirk either, and changed it directly.

Zhang's let Hongdou live in his own room, where did Hongdou dare, although he was ugly, he was clear in his heart, saying that he was used to living in a small house, and he couldn't sleep in a big house.

Even so, Cai Xiang was not satisfied, he always felt that the red bean was weird, inexplicably disgusted with her, and hated her.
