Chen Youfu's cousin Chen Yougui often came back after two or three days from gambling in Lin'an City. As soon as he entered the door, his wife Chen Jiujin scolded him: "You guys, you don't know how to come back. Something big happened at home."
." Chen Jiujin is the only daughter of Chen Tu, a pig butcher in Chenjiazhuang. Because Chen Tu weighed nine kilograms when she was born, she named her daughter Chen Jiujin.
Although Chen Jiujin is a woman, she is famous for her toughness in Chenjiazhuang. She is less than five feet tall but weighs two hundred kilograms. She usually likes to wear bright red and purple clothes, and also likes to put on makeup. Everyone in Chenjiazhuang is there.
They called her a "domestic yaksha" and a "live pig race" behind their backs. But these could only be said behind Chen Jiujin's back. If she heard it, she could block the door of their house and curse her for three days and three nights.
street.
Chen Yougui said with a playful smile: "Honey, what's wrong? Your husband won another two taels of silver." After saying that, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms. Chen Jiujin opened his dustpan-sized hands and grabbed the silver.
He spread his other hand flat on his chest and said, "Bring it here."
Chen Yougui took out another one tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Chen Jiujin. Chen Jiujin raised his hand and gave Chen Yougui a big mouth.
The slap made "Didi Liu Liu" spin around in a big circle.
Chen Jiujin cursed angrily: "You are a dead man who only knows how to make money outside all day long and never returns home. Your eldest brother gave birth to a son today. It is useless for you to win so many taels of silver outside."
This sentence really hurt Chen Yougui's heart. The only girl born to Chen Yougui and Chen Jiujin was named Chen Zhaodi, and her nickname was Nizi. The girl she grew up with was the one named Han Qi, with a pockmarked face with a raised nose and squinting eyes.
In the Chenjiazhuang house, when a child cries, the adults will use Nizi to scare the child, and the child will immediately stop crying. It’s okay to forget that Nizi is not good-looking, but her mother is unruly, aggressive, and has a bad heart. So in Chenjiazhuang
There is a saying secretly circulating, "I would rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life than take another look at a girl." Moreover, Chen Yougui's family has a very bad reputation in Chenjiazhuang. So Chen Yougui and his wife had land, but they were too lazy to go to the land again.
Several acres of his family's farmland were sold. He gambled money every day in Chenjiazhuang. Because the gambling was not good, he would leave if he won money, and he would default on the money if he lost. No one in Chenjiazhuang was willing to play with his money now.
In this way, the girl stayed at home until she was in her twenties, but no one came to propose marriage. The daughter was not allowed to stay, and it would be a disaster if she stayed for a long time. Finally, Chen Yougui asked the matchmaker to pay twenty taels of silver to marry his daughter off, and he would be rewarded with a heavy reward.
There is a brave man. There was a lame Yang Laoliu who sold cooking cakes outside Chenjiazhuang. He was willing, probably for the twenty taels of silver. Finally, the girl got married a few years ago.
So if someone else gave birth to a son, Chen Yougui would hate it from the bottom of his heart. Today, when Chen Jijin told him that his eldest brother had given birth to a son, he was so angry that he went back to the house and lay on the bed. When Chen Jijin saw Chen Yougui's dead look,
, lifted Chen Yougui from the bed like a chicken. "You dead man, what do you think you should do when your eldest brother gives birth to a son?"
"What can I do if he gives birth to a son?" Chen Yougui replied weakly.
"Let's make it sixty-two, plus thirteen (a curse word in Hangzhou means stupid idiot). Your eldest brother is already fifty-five this year, how many years can he live?" Chen Jiujin pointed at Chen Yougui's nose and cursed.
Chen Yougui is also a monkey spirit. When his wife heard this, she immediately felt that there was something in his words. "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Thanks to you usually being such a genius, your eldest brother has done so much business, and Chenjiazhuang has the most in front of their family. In the past, his family had no heirs, but if he dies, then his family property will be ours. Now, I really
I doubt whether he will live to see his son grow up. As long as Chen Youfu and his wife die, will the boy be able to keep his share of the family business?" After saying this, Chen Yougui and his wife both had sinister smiles on their faces.
"Let's go to your eldest brother's house and see that boy who was born with a bright red face." The two of them opened the door and went out.
Chen Youfu had just come back from outside and bought a lot of food for Mr. Tian and made some egg mash rice soup for his son. At this time, the sky was already dark, and there was a banging sound outside the courtyard door. Chen Yougui and his wife
Pushed the door open and went in.
"Haha, congratulations to my eldest brother." Chen Yougui entered the house and looked up to see a black ruler hanging on the door frame of the outer room, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if something had hit him.
"Haha, brothers and sisters-in-law, you are here. Sit, sit. Drink tea, drink tea." Chen Youfu stood up and made tea for them.
Chen Jiujin said with a smile: "Congratulations to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. I'm going to see my precious nephew. Brother, have you decided on a name for my nephew who always lights up the house when something happens?"
"Get up, get up. Call me Chen Mengsheng, also known as Qingzhu. Haha."
"Brother, are you asking someone to test your horoscope?"
Chen Youfu thought that the name was given by Master Zhang, so he replied: "Yes, the child was born at noon, so I asked the master to test it."
"Oh. Good name, good name." Chen Jiujin asked the child's name because he was not concerned about what the child would be called. Instead, he went back to ask someone to stab the little person. He turned around, opened the door curtain and walked into the back room. "Oh, sister-in-law.
Ah, why are you giving this to my nephew?" Chen Jiujin's loud voice was heard by Chen Youfu brothers who were chatting in the outer room.
Tian Cui'e was lying on the bed, feeding her son rice soup with egg paste, and said to Chen Jiujin in an embarrassed voice: "My sister-in-law is old and her ### is not enough. Your eldest brother has asked Aunt Zhu to hire a nanny, and I think she will be here tomorrow.
Already."
It's strange that Chen Mengsheng was eating well, but as soon as Chen Jiujin entered the room, he couldn't stop crying. Chen Jiujin stood there awkwardly for a while, and Tian Cui'e had to stand up and ask Chen Jiujin
He smiled and apologized: "The child is too young and not sensible. Please don't be angry with his aunt."
"No way, no way. Let me see this precious nephew." He walked to the bedside, picked up Chen Mengsheng and took the opportunity to take three fetal hairs from Chen Mengsheng's head.
Chen Mengsheng cried loudly in Chen Jiujin's arms. His eyes that had never been opened suddenly opened, and white light shot out from his eyes. Chen Jiujin's whole body shivered involuntarily as if struck by lightning. The child in his hand almost almost
He was thrown away from his hands. Tian didn't know anything about it. She only knew that her son was crying more and more fiercely. She said distressedly: "The child is afraid of life, don't burden my aunt."
Chen Jiujin put the child back angrily, talked to Mr. Tian for a while, and then went out to say goodbye to Chen Youfu. Chen Youfu took out a large bag of wedding cakes, eggs and other items and gave them to his closest cousin.
He told his children to come early to drink on the third day of the morning...
Besides, when Chen Yougui and his wife returned home, they all felt that Chen Mengsheng was not a simple boy and would definitely be a disaster in the future. Chen Jiujin thought to himself for a while and said, "I'm going to Lin'an City tomorrow. You can keep a good watch on me at home.
"
"What are you doing in Lin'an City?"
"If I don't get rid of that boy Chen Mengsheng, my heart will never be at peace." The couple fell asleep without talking all night.
Early the next morning, Chen Jiujin hired a donkey cart and took a boat to Lin'an City on the Qiantang River. He got off the boat from West Lake. It was already noon. West Lake has always been a good place for lake tours, and literati and poets were all there.
A large number of popular poems have been left here. Su Shi, the great writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote "Drinking the First Sunny and Later Rain on the Lake". The clear water is better when the water is clear, and the mountains are empty and rainy. If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always suitable to wear light makeup and heavy makeup.
.So West Lake is also called West Lake.
Chen Jiujin had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery of West Lake. The place she wanted to go was Sanqing Temple on the bank of West Lake. Outside Sanqing Temple, there was Yuan Banxian, who was known as a living god. Chen Jiujin ate randomly.
After taking a few bites of the wedding cake given by Chen Youfu yesterday, I hurried to Sanqing Temple. At this time, most people had gone home to eat, and there were only two or three people setting up stalls outside Sanqing Temple.
Among the many stalls, there is a stall that teaches hexagrams. There are several large flags erected on both sides of the stall. On the left flag is written "Insight into the Three Lives Matter", on the right flag is written "Clearly Points to the Way of the World". On the middle flag it is written
There are three big characters "Yuan Banxian" Douda.
