Chapter 50: Chaotic War
It turned out that during the Dragon Boat Festival today, Cheng Ting went out to watch the dragon boat and heard a major event by chance.
In the spring of this year, Xu Huiran made a family appointment with the cousin of his grandfather's family, just because his grandfather's family was far away in Huzhou, and it was very troublesome to come and go.
And Mrs. Cheng was worried about Qiu Yu, so she hid it from Cheng Ting, thinking that she would wait for Xu Huiran to get married, and then slowly relieve him.
After Cheng Ting unilaterally fell in love, he unilaterally fell into despair at an extraordinary speed, and this despair made him collapse on the spot.
He didn't even want to eat dinner, and rushed all the way to Xu's mansion to see Xu Huiran, but when he really saw Xu Huiran through the weeping flower gate, he didn't know what to say anymore.
He held his pimple face high, his eyes were single-slit, he stumbled, and he didn't say a word.
And his old son Cheng Taishan heard the news, and in front of Xu Huiran, he grabbed Cheng Ting's ears angrily, pulled him all the way into the sedan chair, pulled him into Cheng's house, pulled into the study, showed his horsewhip, and began to train his son.
Cheng Ting usually wants to save face, and he wants face in front of Xu Huiran, but now his face has made Cheng Zhifu shredded, and when he returned home, he went crazy without saying a word.
Cheng Taishan smoked him into a flower melon, he twisted into a living dragon on the ground, crying and roaring, kicking and falling, the spring bottle of tea was broken all over the ground, his voice was hoarse, and he threatened to hang himself.
The eldest sister, eldest brother, and second brother of the Cheng family saw his crazy posture, and then looked at Cheng Taishan's posture with a horsewhip, and they all quietly slipped away against the wall, slipped all the way back to Mrs. Cheng's arms, and invited the tigress out of the mountain.
The sea told the ins and outs, puffed up two bubbles of tears, and earnestly begged Wu Jin to come out and save Cheng Ting from the brink of hanging.
Wu Jin immediately said, "I'll go change my clothes." ”
He ran home and took off his short brown, changed into a shirt, hurriedly told Wu's mother where she went, and rushed to the prefect's yamen with Fat Dahai.
The two entered the warm pavilion from the mezzanine road, walked to the door of the inner house, the porter saw Wu Jin, and hurriedly went in to pass the ceremony, and when he came out, there was half a shoe print on his back - it hurt the pond fish.
"Please come in," Chiyu opened the door of the inner house, "you be careful. ”
Wu Jin stepped in, and immediately felt that the Cheng Mansion was different from the past - the Cheng family has many children, and they all love to talk and laugh, talk nonsense all day long, and even the subordinates are more lively than other places, but today it is very quiet.
It is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it should be a lively time, but there is no laughter, only the melodious smell of wormwood hanging everywhere, insects and birds are silent like cicadas, each of them is hidden, only the warm wind sweeps by, and the leaves rustle in the blow.
There was a dead silence.
Fat Dahai was flustered, thinking that when he went to return the gift, Cheng Ting was already cold.
He quickened his pace and led Wu Jin to the inner study.
Wu Jin followed closely, and was also uneasy in his heart, and walked straight to the door of the inner study, and saw that the little guy guarding the door was crying and rubbing his head, and when he asked Fat Dahai, he knew that it was not Cheng Ting who hanged himself, but Mrs. Cheng who had come.
It turned out that after Mrs. Cheng heard the news, she immediately led the maid and the grandmother to kill her, she walked to the gate of the courtyard with a big slash, and the little maid guarding the door said respectfully: "Madam, the master said that no one is allowed to enter." ”
Mrs. Cheng sneered, and slapped the little guy in: "Cheng Taishan!" ”
Immediately afterwards, the chief entourage of the Cheng Governor's Mansion also asked Mrs. Cheng to grab a heel, and the Cheng Governor's Mansion had no way to avoid it, and appeared with Cheng Ting in the study.
The inner study is not big, the courtyard is full of flowers and plants, only a bluestone slab road is left to enter and exit, Cheng Governor is afraid that Cheng Tingzhen will hang himself, so the doors and windows are wide open, and the subordinates are guarding the door and trembling, Cheng Ting is lying on the ground on all fours, out of breath.
When Mrs. Cheng saw this, she was distressed, and when she stepped forward on the spot, she was about to give Cheng Governor's Mansion a slap, but Cheng Governor's Mansion was very prescient and hid.
"Cheng Taishan! If you dare to pick my heart and liver, I will fight with you today!
When you're so big, you may not be able to sit upright! You and Mo Qianlan climbed the wall in the temple to peek at other girls worshipping Buddha, I can see it clearly below! What kind of decent man and gentleman are you pretending! ”
Mrs. Cheng has a loud voice and full of confidence, and she has no fear of Cheng Governor's Mansion, especially when she saw Cheng Ting suffer such a big crime, she was more like a hen protecting her chickens, and pecked Cheng Governor's Mansion a few times.
Cheng Zhifu reluctantly squeezed two words into her tiger roaring dragon chant: "Nonsense." ”
"What word am I talking nonsense? Now you're a saint? Became a Buddha on the ground? The son loves Miss Xu, he didn't offend her, and he didn't peek at her, but he was sad and asked, and you beat him to death! ”
"My son has three longs and two shorts today, let's not live! Go to the ancestors and the ancestors to judge the reasoning! ”
Governor Cheng couldn't help but say loudly: "A loving mother has many defeated children......"
Mrs. Cheng is well versed in the way of husband and wife quarrels, and immediately glared: "You dare to yell at me?" Cheng Taishan, you can't help it now, you are so loud to me, everyone has heard it! Cheng Taishan, you heartless person, you divorce my wretched wife! Sweep me and San'er out of the house! ”
She took the shoes from her grandmother's hand again and jerked them at Governor Cheng's mansion.
Cheng Zhifu was in a state of confusion, he was not Mrs. Cheng's opponent at all, and when he heard that Wu Jin was coming, if there was an amnesty, he dragged Mrs. Cheng away: "Wu Jin is here, what is the trouble, let other children watch jokes, let Wu Jin persuade and persuade the third child first, otherwise you let him lie on the ground all the time?" ”
"Wu Jin is a good boy and will never laugh at people!" When Mrs. Cheng heard that Wu Jin was coming, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and walked out with the strength of Cheng Prefect's mansion.
The two moved to the battlefield, and the study became extremely quiet, with the illusion that Cheng Ting had been hanged.
Wu Jin walked to the door of the study, his eyes fell on Cheng Ting, and he sighed first: "Cheng Ting." ”
Cheng Ting sat up with a grunt, raised his dusty dog paw and wiped his eyes hard, trying to stop his tears, but as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a huge choke: "Hiccup...... Wu Jin...... I don't have a face to live......"
Wu Jin faced the hot wind, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and saw that Cheng Ting's face was also spent, his eyes were swollen, and his face was already red and pimpled, but now it was even more pitted, miserable, sweat and tears flowed down together, it can be seen that it is really painful and sad.
He softened his voice more and more: "You come out first, let's go out of the house for a walk." ”
"If you don't come out, I, Hiccup—I didn't do anything out of line, and through a hanging flower door, so many, hiccup—the maid watched, Hiccup—in front of Sister Huiran, he went to pry me! He's not my father, I don't want him to be my father! ”
Cheng Ting really felt that the sky was about to fall, no matter what Wu Jin said, he refused to come out, played a donkey temper, and said that he would die here, so that Cheng Governor would regret it for the rest of his life!
As soon as Wu Jin heard it, he knew that this was an angry word, and persuaded a few more words, until his mouth was dry, and he always stood outside the door, without moving.
It was dark, Cheng Ting had been lying for a long time, he was also tired and hungry, seeing Wu Jin standing straight, for so long, his back had never been hunched, the soles of his shoes were thin and pitiful, the soles of his feet must have hurt very much, and he sobbed and walked out slowly.
"I'm running away from home!"
