0043 [Outside the Little White Staff]
In the Song Dynasty, it was still very common for widows to remarry, at least during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Wang Anshi's second son, Wang Bi, often beat his wife due to schizophrenia, and even threatened to kill his wife and children.
How did Lao Wang deal with it?
He first divorced his daughter-in-law, and then accepted his daughter-in-law as a righteous daughter, and remarried his daughter-in-law in the way of marrying his daughter.
This is absolutely impossible in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
How can the prime minister's daughter-in-law get a divorce? Not to mention remarrying!
"My family is a small family, and Zhu Xianggong has not yet bought a house," Yan Auntie suggested, "I don't need to make a big deal of it, first combine the eight characters of the birthday, and then pick an auspicious day of the zodiac, and buy two ducks to hire." Although Erniang's parents are still alive, as an aunt, I should also marry something, so I will marry a few acres of thin land. On the day of the visit, invite some village neighbors to sit at a few tables, and everyone can testify. ”
"Everything is handled by Mrs. Lao." Zhu Guoxiang did not refuse to marry the property.
Knowing each other, he accepted the land property, and he had to be responsible for raising Brother Qi'er.
A few days later, it coincided with the market at the head of the white market.
Shen Yourong and his children stayed at home and worked hard to weave silk for summer food.
Mrs. Yan took her birthday and went to the market town to find Mr. Bazi - Zhu Ming can only tell hexagrams, and he doesn't have a yellow calendar in his hand, so he can't choose an auspicious day.
The father and son also followed, one was to buy ducks for hiring, and the other was to buy some daily necessities.
After going out, Mrs. Yan said as she walked: "I asked Zhu Xianggong, the carpenters and masons in the village have been invited by the old white staff, and they will be free in a few days." ”
"The old white man's family also wants to build a house?" Zhu Guoxiang asked.
Mrs. Yan said: "If you want to build a village school, the land has been chosen, and it is next to the Bai family's mansion." I originally planned to let Brother Qi go to the county to study in primary school, but now I want to stay in the village more conveniently. ”
Zhu Guoxiang was a little depressed: "Then I have to drag the matter of building a house to the back again." ”
"Many people can build houses and walls, that is, to make furniture, you must hire carpenters." Mrs. Yan said.
The craftsmen in the village are actually farmers, and they only take over the work when the farm is not working.
Wood is also a problem, although the father and son bought the forest, but after cutting the wood, it has to be dried in the shade, and the furniture made directly with raw wood will crack.
"Has Zhu Xianggong eaten?"
didn't go far before he met the villagers, and the greetings were all aimed at Zhu Guoxiang, and then nodded to Zhu Ming and Yan Dama.
Zhu Guoxiang smiled and said: "I'll eat when I come back from the market." ”
"I'll go to work first." The villagers said a few words and walked away.
is like this all the way, as if Zhu Guoxiang has become the head of the household, and can represent Zhu Ming and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
It is estimated that the matter of Shen Niangzi's remarriage has been spread, and most of it was deliberately passed on by the old white staff.
When she came to Baishitou, Mrs. Yan went straight to the coffin shop.
It doesn't mean anything else, there is a Mr. Eight in the town, who is the owner of the coffin shop.
Father and son went to the rice shop.
Zhu Ming smiled and shouted at the rice shop: "How do you sell your big white rice?" ”
"Yo, it's the two Mr. Zhu who are here." The guy grinned.
The market town is located in the middle of Shangbai Village and Xiabai Village, and many of the shops in the town are opened by two whitemen.
The matter of Shangbai Village has long been spread to the town.
"Buy two buckets of white rice," Zhu Ming took out the iron money, "I bought rice last time, and I only gave one penny, but this time it is a lot of yours." ”
The man took out the container and measured the rice, and asked, "What do you take for it?" ”
Zhu Ming said: "I'll put it away after I've measured it, and I'll go buy a wooden barrel." Just come over and say thank you for the penny deal. If you have any difficulties in the future, go to Shangbai Village to find me. ”
The guy said happily: "It's just a penny, it's not worth anything." ”
After leaving the rice shop, the father and son went to buy buckets and pots again.
After a bit of bargaining, the large barrel was 18 wen, and the small barrel and wooden basin were 12 wen.
Then he went to buy three ducks, two of which were used for hiring, and the remaining one was killed today.
Also, buy some axes, sickles, etc.
They returned to the rice shop, poured two buckets of white rice into the bucket, and carried the bucket to the coffin shop to find Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan happened to come out and said happily: "The eight characters of the birthday are very compatible, and the date has been chosen, and May 28 is the auspicious day of the zodiac." ”
"That'll be fine."
The money for Mr. Bazi, as well as the money for the wedding banquet, naturally has to be paid by the man.
In a few days, Zhu Guoxiang will accompany his wife to visit Shen Yourong's parents.
The three of them took the things they bought, and before they knew it, they had walked to the street entrance of the market town.
Zhu Ming suddenly turned around and shouted, "I followed all the way, why didn't you come to talk?" ”
Bai Sheng immediately trotted forward, bent down and said: "I already know that the hero is in Shangbai Village, but I am afraid of ruining the reputation of the hero, so I don't dare to sell wine to visit the door." ”
Zhu Ming said: "You don't have to eat and drink, don't call me a hero in the future, call me Zhu Dalang and Zhu Xiucai." ”
"Save it," Bai Sheng said flatteringly, "It's not too early, I'll invite Brother Zhu to eat a bowl of soup cakes." ”
Zhu Ming took out a string of iron coins, which were fifty wen, and took out more than ten wen loose money, and stuffed it to Bai Sheng: "In the village over there, there is a pair of Tian brothers who took care of my father and son for two meals. Walking the rivers and lakes, the grievances are clear, and you send fifty yuan to the Tian brothers. The rest of the money, which you take to eat and drink, is considered your errand money. ”
"I'll deliver it!"
Bai Sheng was overjoyed, not because he coveted the dozen dollars, but because he thought that he had won the trust of a hero.
There was nothing to say to the hooligans, and after a few casual nonsense, Zhu Ming left under the pretext that he had something to do.
The gangster followed, looking at Tie Qian with envy: "Second Brother Bai, the hero is really generous, he gave fifty wen for two meals, and the Tian brothers really earned it." ”
"You know what a fart," Bai Sheng taught his subordinates, "this is called righteousness, revenge, revenge, and kindness." If the Tian brothers didn't give food, Brother Zhu was afraid that he would starve to death at that time. I am also righteous, whoever is good to me remembers, and whoever is bad to me also remembers. ”
The gangster attendant hurriedly said, "I'm good to Second Brother Bai." ”
"What a bird, you are a talent, you know how to eat with me!" Bai Sheng scolded with a smile.
"Hey, hey." The thugs smirked.
But she said that she was far away from the market town, so Mrs. Yan asked, "Da Lang knows that Bai Er?" ”
"This guy wanted to grab the horse, but I was scared by my father and me." Zhu Ming explained.
Aunt Yan reminded: "Bai Er is not a good person, don't have a deep friendship with him." ”
"I know," Zhu Ming asked, "what is the origin of this Bai Er?" ”
Mrs. Yan said in detail: "I heard from the older generation that most of the people in Xixiang County moved from the south. Baishitou, Shangbai Village and Xiabai Village, but all the families with the surname Bai come from a place called Baishuigang. It is counted that the ancestors are all of the same ancestry, and after more than 100 years, the relationship has gradually faded. The father of the old white staff and the little white staff also gathered the villagers to fight for the shops in the white market. ”
"Which side does Hakuji belong to?" Zhu Ming asked again.
Mrs. Yan said: "Bai Er's home is in Xiabai Village, and when his father was alive, he also had two or three hundred acres of land, of which more than 30 acres were paddy fields. was deceived by the little white staff peripheral bureau, lost and went bankrupt, and hanged himself when he was angry. Even Bai Er's mother was taken to pay off her gambling debts. ”
"People of the same clan and the same village, how can they be so unruly?" Zhu Ming suddenly had a deeper understanding of the shamelessness of the little white staff.
Mrs. Yan said: "Before Bai Er's father gambled, he was quite kind to his neighbors. The villagers also felt that Bai Er was pitiful, so they often helped him, and Bai Er barely survived by herding cattle and cutting grass. Later, he suddenly changed his temperament, wandering around all day long, extortion, and I heard that it was the girl he liked, and he was forcibly married as a concubine by the son of the little white man. ”
Zhu Guoxiang was a little disdainful: "If this Bai Er has backbone, he should go to the little white man to take revenge, what is the matter of bullying the people in the village?" ”
"Isn't it? used to feel that Bai Er was pitiful, but now they all treat him as a plague god. Mrs. Yan shook her head and sighed.
Zhu Ming smiled and said, "How do I think that this Bai Er will go to take revenge one day." ”
Zhu Guoxiang said: "If he wants to have the courage, he will go a long time ago." ”
"A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, he needs to wait for an opportunity." Zhu Ming said.
Zhu Guoxiang said: "You have read too many martial arts novels, do you really think that everyone has that kind of blood?" Most people in the world are bullying the weak and fearing the hard. ”
"Perhaps." Zhu Ming smiled.
It's like a father and son standing in the middle of the villagers, and their temperaments are obviously different.
That Bai Er stood in the middle of several splashes, which also looked very unique. His eyes are more agile, and he looks smart, and it is estimated that he read for a few days when he was a child before breaking his family.
……
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Above the town, suddenly chickens and dogs jumped, and the people who rushed to the market hurriedly avoided it.
But he saw some of the servants opening the way, and each of them carrying sticks.
Behind it was a sliding pole, and a man in silk sat on it. The man was well-maintained, his sideburns were gray, but there were not many wrinkles on his face.
This person is none other than Bai Zongmin, a little white member.
Sitting on a sliding pole, Bai Zongmin came all the way to the river and sailed to the county seat on his own passenger boat.
"Phew, dog thing!"
Bai Sheng spat and watched the ship go away against the current.
The gangster followed: "Second brother, don't be like this, we are all small families, where do you dare to be angry with the little white staff?" ”
"I can't bear it, I'm going to learn a gun from a teacher this year!" Bai Sheng held back his anger.
You have to pay money to learn guns and sticks, and Bai Sheng can't afford to pay the tuition.
There is only one place to go, and that is Black Wind Village.
There are good men in the stockade who are good at guns and sticks, and occasionally practice minions in their spare time, teaching bandits to practice the art of guns and sticks.
(PS: In the previous chapter, using corn stalks to return to the field, some book friends said that it would bring pests and diseases.) Lao Wang came from the countryside, and when he was a child, he returned to the field like this, and it is estimated that he relied on pesticides to manage pests. )
(In ancient times, there were no pesticides, and diseased straw could only be picked by hand.) In addition, deep burial of straw can also be piled up to rot and kill insects, must be harvested corn, while the corn stalk is still water, immediately chopped and buried deep in the soil, but also watered to ensure that the corn stalk can quickly decay. There is no need to plough the ground when buried deeply, because corn is planted in hilly areas, and ridges are raised to protect fertilizer and drainage. The ditch is 34 centimeters deep, and it can be buried directly into the ditch. )
