Chapter 131: To marry or not

Besides, Li Li read the sticker and suddenly realized, Master Tang is really amazing!

He praised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and the post read: "Tang Zhenguan has no Jiazi year in the eighteenth year, but the year of Jiachen." ”

It's really a word difference, and it's a thousand miles wrong.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Li Li went to check the old yellow calendar again to see the situation recorded in the history books, which reads:

"Li Shimin has been emperor for 23 years. Tang Taizong Li Shimin was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor in 626 AD, and died in 649 AD, reigning for a total of 23 years. During his reign, there was no Jiazi year. ”

Li Li looked at it and understood, and sure enough, during the reign of Li Shimin's Zhenguan, there was no Jiazi year. He immediately understood that the tombstone was a forgery, a fake.

Li Li was furious, continued to be interrogated, and reprimanded Qian Yuanwai: "You are still a squire!" How can it be reasonable to do such a despicable and shameless thing, blatantly deceive, deceive the officials, and despise the officials of the imperial court! What is the crime? and thou shalt not be hasty with it, lest thy flesh and bones be afflicted. If you dare to resist stubbornly and refuse to admit your guilt, be careful, you can see the torture instruments on the wall one by one, not the beautiful ones hanging on the wall, you have to taste it for yourself, you know how powerful it is! As long as you are willing to try, the official will satisfy you one by one, let you eat well, and eat to your heart's content, how about it? ”

When Qian Yuan heard it, isn't this going to be punished? Suffering from flesh and skin, losing face, how to mix in the countryside?

"My lord, this, this, this, this ......," Qian Yuan said, his voice much quieter.

He only felt a chill down his spine, like an ice-stained whip on his back, and he didn't know what to do!

"Smack-"

A heavy book was thrown on the ground with a dull sound, like a blow to the back of the head.

"See for yourself, do you still want to quibble? Open your old eyes and see, the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan has no Jiazi year, are you a three-year-old child when you are the official? You're used to fooling people, right? Can't stop the car? Do you want to continue to fool the official? You see, are you doing it right? ”

"Hey-" Foreign Minister Qian sighed, no longer spoken, and he said, "It's all my fault for not being able to govern my family and neglecting discipline, which caused this consequence, I really shouldn't have it!" I regretted not being strictly disciplined since I was a child, and it was too late to correct it when I grew up. It seems that there is only hope for the great-grandson. ”

"You put away your little abacus, the family has thousands of family wealth, it is better to carefully train your children to become talents, not wealth, but education. If you have a good education at home, you will naturally succeed. Money alone is not enough. Money is something outside the body, it is fluid, and if you want to grab a lot of money and not let it slip away, it is a fool's dream and a whimsical dream. It is better to be down-to-earth and educate your children well, and the success of your children is the success of your parents. Li Li said.

"Your Excellency is right, you are right, be careful in the future." Qian Yuan said.

"I won't beat you this time, next time if you deceive the official again, be careful of your skin." Li Li said.

"Thank you, sir." Qian Yuanwai said with a thousand thanks, and then secretly felt sad.

Li Li announced his retirement from the court, and Shuli asked everyone to sign and draw the pledge, and then left the court one by one without mentioning it.

Li Li secretly admired Master Tang, this guy was really inconspicuous, so he repaired the money clerk. Qian Yuan suffered a secret loss, and he didn't know it yet, but he also had to thank Master Tang.

Tang Lu knew that the Li family had suffered this ordeal, so he gave the Li family a thousand taels of silver as a student aid. Because the Li family is a clean official, the two sleeves are clean, and the children spend money on reading and need support. The imperial court has a limited amount of money, which is not enough to support the cost of studying, so in order to let the descendants of the Li family study with peace of mind, they give this money, which is considered unprofitable. Tang Lu thought so, but the Li family was very moved, even if it was not the same surname.

In this way, the Li family became more and more famous, and the Qian family brought humiliation on themselves.

Master Tang's fame is also getting bigger and bigger.

Recently, someone came to ask Master Tang for help.

The person who came was a young woman. She was accompanied by her mother. The young woman's surname is Wu.

Miss Wu said: "Master Tang, my surname is Wu, and I am married to the Wen family. My mom is here, and she can say what's going on. ”

"What's going on?" Tang Lu asked.

"My daughter is sixteen years old and is about to get married, so I asked someone to introduce her, but I am not very satisfied, it is this daughter, everyone wants her to find a good family, and there is no suitable one to find it, I heard that the son of the Wen family is good. has a good character, a solid family, is a native family, monogamous, gave birth to two brothers, the eldest is Wen Qiang, and the one is Wen Sheng. The father-in-law is also hardworking and simple, working like a cow, the mother-in-law is kind, generous to others, Wen Qiang is good at everything, but there is a cough disease. When I was a child, I didn't have it well, but when the weather changed abruptly, I coughed badly, and I usually got it. No problem. is this Wen Qiang, who is eighteen, has not met the right one, and the matchmaker has also broken his leg, but there is no suitable one for her, either he is unwilling, or others are unwilling, our only daughter, the same is the case, who knows that it should be a marriage, no one can break it up, and this is how it happened. Miss Wu's mother said.

"Men should get married, women should get married, this is no problem!" Master Tang said.

"Then there was a problem. Who knows that it's okay if Wen Qiang doesn't get married, as soon as he gets married, he will get sick, he used to get sick in winter, and after he got married, he got sick all year round, and his cough couldn't be cured, and he looked for famous doctors all over the world, but it still didn't get better. After a year, Wen Qiang died. Only Wensheng was left in the house. Then there are Wen Qiang's parents. Miss Wu's mother said.

"It's terrible!" Master Tang said.

"Yes, I originally chose to find someone for my daughter to entrust for life, but I didn't expect to hurt my daughter. This makes us embarrassed, and we must know that we should not interfere so much in the first place. Wu Mu said.

"So, Miss Wu was interested in someone before she got married?" Tang Lu asked.

"Yes."

"Who?"

"It's what she grew up playing with. It's just that the family is poor and doesn't want his daughter to suffer at his house, so he married Wen Qiang despite his daughter's opposition. Who knows, people are not as good as heaven, but the result is still to make her daughter suffer. Miss Wu's mother said.

"In other words, Miss Wu has a childhood sweetheart and has a good relationship, but you broke them up and let Miss Wu marry Wen Qiang, whom she doesn't love?" Master Tang asked.

"Yes, it's all because we are old and dizzy, have no beads, and can't see the future clearly, I didn't expect that Wen Qiang, who is optimistic, can't go to the white head with his daughter, but he is very energetic if he is not optimistic. It seems that as long as you live, there is hope. Miss Wu's mother said.

"Yes." Master Tang said, he paused, looked at Miss Wu, with a sad and innocent face, and felt that she had really been wronged. "What happened then?"

"Later? My lord, she knows what happened next. ”

"Miss Wu, tell me about it." Master Tang said.

"Master, it's embarrassing to say, but it's come to this point, and you can't do it if you don't say it. Wen Qiang died, Wen Qiang's father was still strong, Wen Sheng was also strong, he had no blind date, no partner, and no plans to get married. It seems that it depends on the performance of the little woman. Miss Wu said.

"What's the performance?"

"It's just that the little girl is married separately." Miss Wu said.

"Marry separately? Did they say yes? Master Tang asked.

"No way. Before the little woman could mention it, they objected. said that the bones were not cold, and began to talk about marriage, what kind of system did it become? It's just immoral, embarrassing, and you can say whatever is ugly. It's just unbearable. The little girl had to go back to her parents' house to avoid it, they were so bad, they obviously wanted the little girl to stay in the Wen family, but they refused to say it clearly, when the little girl had the idea of getting married, they began to blame and abuse for no reason, which was unbearable. Miss Wu said.

"Then did they say yes?"

"Nope."

"Do you still want to get married?"

"Yes."

"Good! This can be done in this way. ”

Tang Lu suddenly thought that in terms of customs, a widow should not remarry, but settle down and keep filial piety for her deceased husband. If the period of filial piety expires, you can marry someone else, but if you marry, you still have to marry your own relatives. That is to say, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. This fertilizer and water are the existing resources, and this outsider's field is the outsider's advantage. Just like having worked hard to inherit the estate of the deceased husband, and then remarrying, and the property is gone, then it is unfair treatment to the relatives of the deceased.

This woman is still young and has been living with her father-in-law and uncle for a long time, so I am afraid that there is a problem. If you want to talk about the famous festival, is the famous festival important, or is the happiness of the martial girl's life important?

Master Tang racked his brains and finally came up with a foolproof plan. In response to the strong opposition of his father-in-law and uncle, Master Tang wrote a letter, which was written very clearly. It means that in order to maintain happiness and maintain honor, the matter is summarized: the little girl married Wen Qiang at the age of sixteen. At the age of seventeen, Wen Qiang died. At a young age, he began to live as a widow. It seems that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated. If she wants to get married, and she is a good person who is a childhood sweetheart, she should be fulfilled. Originally, I wanted to live a stable life, the ancient Buddha and the green lantern, and live a lifetime, if there is a fate, I will repair the next life and become a good marriage for Qin and Jin. Helplessly, the father-in-law is strong, the mother-in-law is about to die, and the brother-in-law is in his youth, and his body is as strong as a mountain, and he has not yet been married. It may be difficult for a little girl to get along well in such a family. If they obey them in everything, they may be in chaos, because the little girl must be obedient in everything, and she will not dare to speak or disobey orders. What they want the little girl to do, the little girl has to do. If you disobey it slightly, you are disfilial to your father-in-law and disrespectful to your brother-in-law. It's hard to go along and it's hard to disobey, it's really a dilemma. In order not to mess around, and in order not to affect the happiness of the little girl, I wrote this letter to the eldest lord and asked the eldest lord to be the master.

This letter is actually very level, it seems to be an understatement, but it does make sense, it can be reasoned, the fact part is like this, and the reasoning part is also a link that wants to be closely connected, and it is not leaky. Obviously, the girl wants to remarry, to break through the fetters and snares of traditional customs, to break through the shackles of the so-called name, in order to preserve the name, it is clear that it is to preserve, and secretly break through, it is clear that the girl wants to keep the name, but when she writes, she writes that the girl wants to protect the name, and she must find a way to ask the county government to protect it.

Li Li received this letter, read it several times, and felt that Master Tang wrote well, which was really reasonable, advantageous and responsible, and all aspects had been taken care of. He is also worried that customs and habits cannot be destroyed, and at the same time, there can be no chaos, if it happens, good things do not go out and evil things go thousands of miles, and soon the whole country will know about it, then the black yarn hat will definitely fall.

When Li Li saw this consequence, he approved the official document, which was to let Miss Wu leave her husband's house and return to her mother's house. What you do after returning to your mother's house, as long as it is not illegal, you can do it.

Miss Wu got the approval and left the Wen family in a bright and bright manner, her father-in-law and brother-in-law tried their best to stay, and her mother-in-law also said all the good things, but Miss Wu had already made up her mind, they couldn't help, knowing that Miss Wu had official approval, she didn't dare to use force, and she couldn't do anything to her. let Miss Wu go, and did not withhold her dowry, which surprised Miss Wu.

It turns out that there are local customs, and the things used by other people's women have bad luck, and whoever uses them is unlucky. In addition, Wensheng is not married yet, once married, the bride will ask for these dowries, knowing that it was left by her ex-sister-in-law, she is a little unhappy. After all, the ex-sister-in-law has some explanations, and she is worried about affecting her happiness. Because the former sister-in-law may be said to be Kefu, she has only been married for a year, and she killed her husband, I don't know where the next man is, whether he will die or not, because he married a Kefu's wife.

Miss Wu was lucky enough to meet Li Li, giving her a home and avoiding an embarrassing life. Li Li can be regarded as solving a hidden danger and avoiding family ethics problems, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

A few years passed.

Li Li also served in Xiangyang.

Suddenly, there was a drought that had not been seen in a century.

The harvest in the fields has been greatly reduced, and the price of rice and noodles has also risen, and the residents of Xiangyang are so hungry that they are weak to walk, and their legs and feet are swollen.

Li Li saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, and then took action to take out his salary and money to help the victims, but it was a drop in the bucket and to no avail, so he could only mobilize his subordinates to donate as much as they could.

The subordinates just verbally agreed, no one did it, and said that the people were good, and when they really wanted real money, when they wanted to show it, they often retreated and didn't do it.

The reason is that the family is also experiencing financial difficulties, and they are about to be unable to open the pot, and they have nothing to eat at home, and they have the intention to help others, but their ability is limited, and the family has no last meal, and there is no overnight food at home.

Li Li was a little anxious, but after thinking about some of the suggestions given by Bu Huishu and asking Master Tang, he gave some explanations. There are people above to support them, and there are people below to give advice, so Li Li doesn't have to worry about having no way to deal with them.

He thought of a plan, thought it was okay, and started to implement it.

So he ordered someone to draft a notice, and then posted it at the door of the county government, saying that after three days, he should lead all his subordinates to set up altars to pray for rain, and within these three days, they must put an end to meat, and they must be cleansed and bathed, so as to show their sincere reverence for the heavens.
