Chapter 1058: Does koi bring blessing or disaster (10)
"...Three brothers said it all. The third brother said that when he and...you were in the horoscope, the fortune teller said that if you live a good life, the third brother's fate will be suppressed by you, and the better your life will be.
No, the better the fate of the third brother..."
Chen Shou hunched his waist and smiled as he answered Zi Hua's questions.
He answered and observed the expressions of his three younger siblings.
He just went out for a walk, and when he came back, his home was turned upside down and it was no longer the same home.
Not only did he see his father, his eldest brother and his eldest son lying on the bed with broken legs and groaning, he couldn't believe that it was his third younger brother and sister who interrupted them.
He knew how strong the third brother and sister were.
After discovering the strength of the third brother and sister, the family became even more convinced of the third brother's story about destiny suppression. The strange way could suppress the third brother, and with the strength of the third brother and sister, he could physically suppress the third brother.
The third brother and sister are only fifteen years old and their strength is almost as strong as that of the eldest brother. If they grow up for another two years, they will not be strong men.
At that time, I decided to use her hard and not let her strength grow any longer.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to avoid beating or scolding his third younger brother or sister, otherwise he wouldn't be able to save his legs now.
His son's leg was broken. Of course he felt distressed and resented it, but he had heard a scholar in the town say something when he was telling stories, "Those who know practical things are heroes." Not only could he not hate him, but he had to respect him like a nobleman.
With.
The person Zihua wanted to question was Chen Shou from the beginning.
Among the three brothers of the Chen family, Chen Fukong, the eldest, is a big boy with a stupid mouth and a bad mind. He listens to whatever Ma Cuifen and Chen Yougui say and doesn't pry into anything they don't tell him.
The second eldest brother, Chen Shou, is different. He doesn't work if he can. If he can't hide, he just cheats and cheats. He has a lot of ideas and is good at talking.
When they were outside the hospital, Chen Yougui asked Chen Shou to ask for a doctor, just to make a show in front of outsiders and not to actually ask for one.
He wished that his third daughter-in-law had a serious leg injury and died of illness. How could he ask a doctor to treat her?
Chen Shou understood the meaning of his father's words as soon as he heard it. He didn't go to the town to ask for a doctor. He ran around outside the village and returned home through a remote path.
"...The third brother came back last month and said that he had already exchanged letters with the prefect's lady. If he can pass the examination as a scholar this time, he might be recommended to Luzhou Academy."
"The premise is that he cannot have a married woman." Yu Hua knows this trick.
Chen Wenlu wanted to be the son-in-law of the prefect's family, but he was already married. How could the official lady of the prefect's family be a concubine? Don't even think about it. Chen Wenlu could only be widowed.
Heli wanted to return the dowry to the original owner, but the Chen family did not want to return it. The dowry of the original owner, which was large and difficult to convert into money, was taken by other members of the Chen family, and the money was spent.
Although Chen Caiyu made the Chen family earn a lot of extra money, Chen Wenlu spent too much, and the Chen family was never able to save much money.
Of course the Chen family is not willing to divorce.
Heli will also destroy the good reputation Chen Wenlu earned because his teacher took care of his daughter before he died.
It would be different if Song Yuerou died. It would be because Song Yuerou was not lucky and Chen Wenlu was innocent.
"My third brother is really nothing." Chen Shou scolded Chen Wenlu, "He always said that he got married so that the teacher could die in peace. The teacher was seriously ill and could not let go of his daughter, so he married the teacher's daughter and went home to be his sister.
They are raised like a couple, not a real couple..."
The original owner did not know that Chen Wenlu said this to the outside world.
However, it is true that they are not a real couple. The original owner was only fourteen years old at the time. According to the customs here, it was too early to get married.
Taking Weishan Village as an example, it is common for women to start discussing marriage after they are sixteen years old. After the marriage has been arranged and the procedures have been completed, and they are familiar with each other, it is normal for them to get married at around eighteen years old, and then get married at twenty years old.
There are some people who get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, but very few. Any family that cares about their daughters will not let their daughters get married so early.
It is common knowledge that marrying a girl when she is not tall enough will lead to difficult childbirth. People who take their daughter's life seriously will try to avoid getting pregnant and giving birth to children before their daughter is eighteen years old, that is, before she has grown in stature.
Only those families that exchange their daughters for money would marry their daughters off so early.
Song Sheng was a scholar, and his daughter was married off at the age of fourteen. If word spread, his reputation would be damaged.
Moreover, it's not that the Song family will be left alone after Song Sheng's death. Song Yuerou still has her mother He Zhenniang and her younger brother Song Ming, so they won't have to leave her as an orphan before her death.
The reputation of a scholar is sometimes much more important than talent.
Chen Wenlu is also a scholar. Marrying a fourteen-year-old wife at the age of seventeen would make people feel that there is something fishy in it. Is it possible that the two of them did something they shouldn't do in private, so they used the marriage to cover it up.
Or maybe Chen Wenlu was coveting the Song family's generous dowry. Song Sheng was not a poor scholar with a small fortune, so his dowry would not be small, but Chen Wenlu was from an authentic farmer's family and could not compare with the Song family.
So there was a condition for this marriage, which was that the marriage would not be consummated before Song Yuerou turned sixteen.
For a while, the reputations of Song Sheng and Chen Wenlu improved. One of them gave their daughter a generous dowry, just to make their daughter live a good life for the rest of her life.
One was to fulfill Teacher Yuan’s wish to see his daughter get married before he died, so he got married early.
This is how outsiders see it.
But with the memory of the original owner, Yuhua thinks there is something in it that doesn't make sense.
Song Sheng was a strict father to his original owner, and there was no tender moment between father and daughter. When the original owner fell ill, Song Sheng almost never asked about it. It was He Zhenniang who invited the doctor. Of course, helpers did the boiling and feeding of the medicine, and He Zhenniang did not have to do it herself.
When the original owner's younger brother fell ill, Song Shengneng stayed by the bedside and personally administered the medicine.
It doesn't make sense that Song Sheng didn't let the original owner learn to read. He Zhenniang was literate and could read and write. She really loved her daughter, so how could she not teach her to read to understand things.
The original owner still recognized some words, and she learned them secretly. Song Sheng's private school was at home, and there was only a wall between the residence and the school, so they were right next to each other.
The original owner eavesdropped and learned when he had the opportunity, because it was easy to be discovered when practicing calligraphy, and the original owner was not very good at writing.
Song Sheng is already dead, I just hope the answer is not buried in the ground with him.
"Third brother and sister, can you let me go out and ask a doctor to come back?" Chen Shou swore to the sky, "I will never report to the official."
"The doctor has been invited. Three members of the family have broken legs. What do you say to the outside world?"
"The pig pen at home collapsed, and all three of them had their legs broken."
Chen Shou is quite a talent, and looking at his resolute expression, Zihua almost believed him.
Chen Shou was afraid that Su Hua would not agree, so he added, "Doctor Sun is very strict. As long as he pays enough for the consultation, he will not tell anyone if he sees something."
Zi Hua waved her hand and said, "Go ahead." The legs were healed and they were ready to be used. They also had to endure the pain that the original owner suffered.
If you don't obey the instructions, you might as well interrupt again.
After receiving the permission, Chen Shou hurriedly went to see the doctor. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Chen Erkui that he had collapsed the pig pen.
