"Bai Gongzi told this story, and Xiaozhi has also heard it, but Xiaozhi seems to be a little different from what Bai Gongzi you told." Du Xiaozhi stared at the mural on the wall and said: "The story that Xiaozhi heard was told to Xiaozhi by her grandmother when she was young, and she intended to tell Xiaozhi that she should keep her duty and not worry about things that she shouldn't be worried about. ”

"Is there another version of this story?" Bai Li asked curiously: "Listening to this, shouldn't you overturn the case for that scumbag?" ”

"It's not a reversal of the case, it's just a little more helpless." Du Xiaozhi said: "The Bo Qinglang in Bai Gongzi's story should be surnamed Yuan, his ancestral home is not Liyang, but someone in the family is sick, and Liyang is just a suitable place for cultivation, so the Yuan family dragged his family to move here." This thin lover is the third generation of the Yuan family, and the only male in the Yuan family, and he has been favored since he was a child. ”

"There's no necessary connection between this only son and a scumbag, right?"

"The white girl is right, even if she is an only child, she should not do that kind of thing to deceive her daughter's family for life. That's not what Twig wants to say. This Yuan Gongzi is not a real son of an official family, and the words "he and the official family" are only barely touching. There are indeed officials in the Yuan family, and there are sisters in the clan who marry into the official eunuchs' families as wives, but this Yuan Gongzi, his father, and grandfather are not officials, but businessmen. Shinong businessmen, they fell on that business word. It's just that someone in the family is an official, so this business is also involved with the official word. ”

"Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have not been separated, and this is nothing unusual."

"It's really nothing unusual, this has the background of the official family, so that the business can be done better. After this transaction is done, the official who has a relationship with the merchant can go higher with his financial resources. This Yuan family has taken the path of supporting businessmen with officials and supporting officials with business. Oh, this sentence was said by my father, not by my grandmother. Du Xiaozhi paused a little and continued: "What Bai Gongzi said earlier, Xiaozhi has no objection, the difference in the story is that after Miss Suying gave birth to a child. In the story told by her grandmother, Miss Suying was kicked out of the house by her father, and it was in desperation that she knocked on the door of the Yuan family with the child. She knelt down three times and asked the gatekeeper to help her bring a message to Yuan Gongzi. said that she could not resent Yuan Gongzi and not miss the old love, nor could she resent Yuan Gongzi for forgetting her promise to her, but if Yuan Gongzi didn't even recognize their children, she Chai Suying would not let go of Yuan Gongzi, a thin lover, even if she was a ghost. ”

"This is more like Chai Suying's mouth, she is a peasant daughter, no matter how pure her heart is, it is impossible not to resent and say something to vent her anger when she encounters such a thing."

What the white girl said was that if this matter fell on Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi's words would be even more vicious than this. Moreover, the gatekeeper conveyed Miss Suying's words to Yuan Gongzi as they were, but Yuan Gongzi questioned whether the child in Miss Suying's arms was really the blood of the Yuan family, and asked the gatekeeper to drive Su Ying's mother and son elsewhere. Miss Suying refused to leave, so she sat at the door of Yuan's house with the child in her arms, crying day and night. This crying continued for many days, and when the crying stopped, the Yuan family came out to check only to find that Miss Suying had hanged herself on the tree outside the gate of Yuan's mansion with her belt, and the child who was originally held in her arms was now resting on the steps outside the gate of Yuan's house, and had already been dead for a long time. An autopsy by the county government confirmed that the child was starved to death, and Miss Suying died by hanging her neck. ”

"And then? That's it? ”

"No, there's a follow-up." Du Xiaozhi continued: "Miss Suying's father was extremely angry when he heard about this, and he took Miss Suying and the body of the child to the government to complain, saying that Yuan Gongzi was ruthless and unrighteous and should be punished. I don't know if I still think about the old relationship with Miss Su Ying, the Yuan family did not deny it, but gave Su Ying's father 1,000 taels of silver as compensation. Su Ying's father accepted the money and withdrew the paper, so that Yuan Gongzi was exempted from punishment. ”

"I'm really angry, how can this Suying's father be like this? His daughter died, his grandson died, and he died so miserably, he reconciled with the Yuan family because of a thousand taels of silver? In comparison, I still prefer the story told by Bai Ze. Su Ying's father in that story is more like a father. ”

"But the more beautiful the story, the less real it is." Du Xiaozhi sighed lightly: "Of course, I also hope that this story told by my grandmother is fake. Otherwise, Miss Suying and her child would be too pitiful. ”

"And what about later? In the story told by your grandmother, Su Ying's father got the silver and Yuan Gongzi married a newcomer, did they all live happily ever after? ”

"It's not!" Du Xiaozhi shook his head lightly: "In the story told by my grandmother, the Yuan family did tell Yuan Gongzi a family matter. The other party's family is also in business, and they also have the background of the official family, no matter from which aspect, these two families can be regarded as a good match. But the story my grandmother told was a little different from what Bai Gongzi told before. In the story told by Bai Gongzi, Yuan Gongzi married the young lady, but in the story told by my grandmother, Yuan Gongzi did not marry the young lady. ”

"It's just that I didn't get married at the time, but then I did, right?" Bai Li said, thinking that most of Xiaoyan's scripts were written like this.

"It didn't work out." Du Xiaozhi said: "One night not long after Miss Suying's death, the old man who married his daughter to Yuan Gongzi, that is, Yuan Gongzi's quasi-father-in-law, had a dream. He dreamed of a woman with a cloak and a child in her arms standing in front of him. The woman claimed to be surnamed Chai and named Su Ying, who was deceived by Yuan Gongzi and then abandoned. She warned the old man not to marry his daughter to Yuan Gongzi, otherwise the wedding day would be the time for the old man to collect the body of his own daughter. After the old man woke up from his dream, he went to inquire, and when he heard that there was indeed a woman hanging herself at the door of Yuan's house, and that woman was called Chai Suying, he and the Yuan family would stop their affair. ”

"This old man is a person who understands clearly, a scumbag like Yuan, even if he marries his daughter, he will not be happy."

"Miss Bai is right, if the old man really married his daughter, then his daughter will be widowed as soon as she starts."

"What's the matter, that Yuan Gongzi is dead?"

"Dead, on the night he was supposed to marry the young lady. According to the people of the Yuan family, that night, Yuan Gongzi's room was particularly lively, and there were also subordinates who saw the silhouette of Yuan Gongzi and a woman making love through the screen window. At that time, the subordinate didn't care, thinking that Yuan Gongzi was depressed and went outside to find some girl to come back, until he woke up on the second day and saw Yuan Gongzi dead on the bed, and his body was cold, and he suddenly came back to his senses - last night with Yuan Gongzi in the room, I am afraid that it is not the girl he found back, but Chai Suying, the soul who came to Yuan's house for revenge. ”
