Chapter 105 The dialogue between the main room and the side room
Du Ji was very sure that Zhou Yuanfu would not give up and was definitely brewing a bigger conspiracy. He had always respected his mother, but respecting his mother did not prevent him from being loyal to state affairs. In ancient times, when loyalty and filial piety could not be balanced, most scholars
Everyone will choose to be loyal, as the saying goes, leave your small family behind for everyone.
Du Waner pouted, "I think my brother is a bit alarmist. He is not as rude as you think, and he is even a bit talented. Along the way, he has spoken well and is very knowledgeable. If you don't believe me, just ask Yue'er."
Yue'er nodded with her big eyes flashing.
"Humph, the more this happens, the more I have to be wary. How could I not know that he is talented? Look at this." Du Ji handed over a scroll of bamboo slips. "This is the poem he wrote yesterday. It is very literary. The jailer
Eavesdropped and then wrote it down.”
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine..." Du Waner read it in one breath, her eyes sparkling. "Is this really what he did?"
Du Ji sighed and said, "This boy is indeed talented, but it's a pity that he can't be used by the court."
Du Waner was filled with joy at this time, and she said angrily: "It's not that he didn't do his best for the court, it's that he did his best but was harmed by someone."
"I think so. You are his brother-in-law, and if you treat him like this, how can he contribute to the country with peace of mind?" Du Mu also said in agreement.
"Mother, please stop following Wan'er's mischief. Do you know who his master is? He is Zhang Jiao, the public enemy of scholars all over the world!"
"But Zhang Jiao from the Taiping Sect? Isn't he a Taoist priest?" Du Waner asked doubtfully.
"God bless him, he is actually Zhang Tianshi's disciple. He will definitely call me to have a look someday. This Tianshi was sent by God to save us. You are still young and don't know how many people in Jingzhao relied on him to survive back then."
Du Mu was not afraid at all when she heard Zhang Jiao's name, and was even a little moved. Du Ji looked at Du Mu in surprise, and even wondered if Du Mu had also joined the Taiping Cult.
"You guys, alas! This corner turned out to be a scholar. He got a broken book from somewhere and claimed to be a sect. From then on, he fooled the people and felt that his prestige was enough, so he had the intention of rebellion and even wanted to be a sect.
Ignorant Taoist, this kind of person can’t fully discharge his sins even if he crushes his bones and raises his ashes! What’s the use of his apprentice being rich and knowledgeable?”
"Brother, you don't know how chaotic it is now. What we have seen and heard along the way is that officials are oppressing the people. In other words, you are an upright official, so you only want peace in the world, but you don't know that the people can't survive.
." Du Waner was still defending Zhou Yuanfu.
"I'm not a fool who studies behind closed doors. How can I not know what's going on in the world? The eunuchs can rebel, the relatives can rebel, the generals who don't study can rebel, the Qiang barbarians can rebel, but this scholar is the only one in the world who can't.
You can rebel!"
"Why?"
"Because we are scholars, we study the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and we are engaged in the knowledge of assisting the king. Did the scholars rebel after the two party bans? No, when the emperor is fatuous, what we have to do is to advise and help the emperor correct his mistakes, not to rebel.
.If scholars rebel, then who in the future will dare to use scholars to govern the world! How many years have passed since Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucians, and how many years will it take for scholars to study in peace and contentment? Zhang Jiao and Zhou Cang are unparalleled in the world.
The way for a scholar to get ahead!"
Du Waner was silent after listening to Du Ji's words. Although she did not fully understand, she knew that Zhou Yuanfu's situation was worrying. No matter who dares to go against the scholars all over the world, the final result will not be good.
"Wan'er, fortunately you are not in deep trouble, and it is still too late to turn back now. Look, this is a document from the government that sentences you to death, and it has been stamped with the official seal. Although it is a bit unreasonable, it still makes sense. You
You're still young, just ask your uncle to find you a suitable husband in two years."
Du Waner was stunned when she looked at Yi Jue Wen. She did admire Qin Yilu's charm at first, but since marrying Zhou Yuanfu, she has been deeply attracted to this man. The angry words she said at the beginning have finally come true.
Now, the two of us have nothing to do with each other, and they will be strangers from now on.
"Mom, let sister Wan'er rest for a while. I have something to tell you. Let's talk as we walk. My child plans to abandon his official position and leave. I heard that after the banditry in Jingzhou was quelled, it is relatively peaceful. Where should we go..."
Du Ji's voice slowly faded away.
Du Waner's face was dull, but her tears kept falling.
Yue'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help Du Waner wipe it, "Miss, just say something. If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in and get sick, Miss."
Seeing that Du Wan'er remained indifferent, Yue'er finally couldn't stand it anymore and cried out: "Miss, I just lied to you. My uncle didn't eat at all, he smashed all the food, and he said you sent me to watch his jokes.
.Miss, my uncle probably hates us to death."
"Miss, you should cry. There is no need to feel sorry for this kind of person. Look at him, he has only been married for a few days, and he is married to both Miss Diaochan and Miss Lu. He is a heartless and unjust person."
At this time, Du Waner felt numb all over her body, her ears were buzzing, and she said dreamily: "I cheated on him, he cheated on me, we are done with each other, and we have nothing to do with each other from now on." After saying that, she lay down and cried bitterly.
.
The master and the servant cried at each other, and by dusk both eyes turned into rotten peaches.
Du Mu also wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by Du Ji, "Now Wanmei is just a girl with a bad temper. Just wait for a while, time will dilute everything. This time, let her finish crying freely, so as not to be implicated in the future."
.”
After Du Mu had lived for decades, she understood that what Du Ji said was right, so she stopped trying to persuade her.
Du Waner was also tired of crying, so she sat in a daze for a while. Suddenly she seemed to remember something, and said to Yue'er in a hoarse voice: "Is that Madam Lu still in the house?"
Yue'er didn't know what he meant and just nodded.
"You dress me up, I want to see her."
When Lu Quan arrived, Du Waner had already finished dressing up and was standing there slim and graceful.
"What's your name? I'll have nothing to do with him right away, so you don't have to be reserved."
"Lu Quan."
Lu Quan still said coldly. Seeing that Du Waner was superior and she was regarded as Zhou Yuanfu's side chamber, she felt very angry.
Du Waner secretly took a look at Lu Quan's curvy figure, and sighed in her heart, it turns out he likes this type of woman.
"How old are you?"
Lu Quan thought to himself, if I tell you that I am almost forty this year, you will definitely ask endless questions.
"nineteen."
"You are older than me, so I have to call you sister. How long have you been together?"
"I think you misunderstood. We haven't known each other long."
Lu Quan saw that Du Wan'er's words were becoming increasingly unreasonable, and he was afraid that there were too many people in the county magistrate's house and was afraid of exposing his identity, so he didn't dare to speak too clearly.
"He took you home not long after we've known each other for a long time. It seems like he really has a lot of affection for you."
When Du Waner heard this, she felt another sense of grievance welling up in her heart.
"He is out of prison and you can reunite."
"Out of jail? Where is he?"
"Don't be anxious. I'll have someone take you back to Baozhong later so that you can reunite. For me, he drove away Miss Diao Chan. He only has you by his side now. Sister, can you be sincere to him?"
Lu Quan was about to go crazy. He thought to himself, "You kids, please don't involve yourself in the game of house."
"Haha, why should I worry about these things for him? He doesn't have me in his heart at all, it's just a dream of mine."
"Let's go. I'll send someone to take you back to Baozhong. Let's reunite. I think he misses you too."
Du Waner was a little lost, and finally she couldn't pretend to be reserved anymore, and her tears fell again.
"For the sake of calling me sister,"
Lu Quan looked at Du Waner's eyes that were still red and swollen even though she had put on makeup, and couldn't bear it, "Since you are reluctant to let go and he has been released from prison, the only thing you need to do is continue to love each other as husband and wife. If there is any irresolvable grudge between the young couple,
I remember when I was with that..."
"Sister, you don't understand. Our fate has ended. Okay, let's not talk anymore. Sister, please get on your way soon."
"Little girl, I have been here for a long time, and I would like to advise you that if you miss it sometimes, it will last a lifetime. There are things between husband and wife that cannot be explained clearly. If you keep guessing, you will eventually break their hearts. Please think about it.
If there is any letter you want me to carry, I will help you bring it to him."
