Not long after Chen Mengsheng turned three years old, in the 25th year of Shaoxing (1155), Qin Hui, a traitorous minister of the generation, became seriously ill. He planned to let his son take over the throne, but Gaozong vetoed it, and he died soon after. The people in Lin'an City were all happy, just because of Shaoxing.
In August of the eleventh year, Gaozong and Qin Hui sent people to ask for peace from Jin. Jin Wushu demanded that "Yue Fei must be killed first before peace can be negotiated." Qin Hui then falsely accused Yue Fei of treason and imprisoned him. 1142 (the eleventh year of Shaoxing)
On January 27 (December 29 of the lunar calendar), Qin Hui poisoned Yue Fei to death in Lin'an Fengbo Pavilion on "unfounded" charges. Yue Fei was only thirty-nine years old that year. His son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian were also killed at the same time.
The "Shaoxing Peace Treaty" was immediately realized. The coffin of Song Gaozong's biological father Huizong and his biological mother Wei Shi were sent back to the Southern Song Dynasty. In February, the Song Dynasty ceded territory and became vassals, and the Jin envoy came to confer the title. The whole country sighed with regret and silently commemorated this man who had devoted his life to serving the country and resisting the Jin Dynasty.
The famous general scolded Qin Hui.
In October of the same year, Chen Mengsheng's mother Tian also passed away due to illness. Chen Youfu raised his son as both father and mother. When Chen Mengsheng was fifteen years old, Chen Mengsheng had a long body and a majestic appearance.
.A pair of eyes shoots up to the cold stars, and two curved eyebrows are as thick as paint. The chest is broad, with a majesty that is difficult to defeat. The words are majestic, and the ambition is soaring thousands of feet. The heart is bold, like a lion that shakes the sky descending from the clouds. The bones are strong and the muscles are strong.
Strong, as if the earth is shaking and the brave is sitting on the throne.
Seventy-year-old Chen Youfu was full of joy when he saw his eight-foot-tall son. However, the only flaw was that Chen Mengsheng didn't like studying. In the early years, he sent him to a private school. On the first day of school, he even beat his husband. When he was seven years old,
Chen Mengsheng was already tall and thick when he was young, and his hands could lift fifty kilograms. The teacher in the private school was a scholar in Chenjiazhuang. The scholar was teaching the Four Books and Five Classics above, while Chen Mengsheng was sound asleep below. Cheng Xiucai mentioned
The ruler walked up to Chen Mengsheng. "Pah, pah, pah", the palm of his hand was hit. It would be fine if other children had cried, but Chen Mengsheng didn't care. He pushed his hand towards Chen Xiucai and Chen Xiucai didn't get up for a long time. Chen Xiucai
It was said that this boy was born to be a deviant and hopeless. In desperation, Chen Youfu took Chen Mengsheng home to farm. Unexpectedly, this boy had strong arms and could pull an iron plow of more than 100 kilograms as if for fun.
Chen Mengsheng can handle all the tasks here alone.
On this day, Chen Mengsheng went to the house as usual, leaving only Chen Youfu alone with crutches and basking in the sun in the courtyard. There was a banging sound on the courtyard door, and Sister-in-law Guihua opened the door and entered the courtyard.
It is said that the rich are in the mountains and have distant relatives, while the poor are in the busy city and have no close neighbors. Chen Youfu's family has people coming to visit every day to chat about home affairs and other things. His cousin Chen Yougui also comes often.
"Blessed uncle, I wish you good luck."
Although Chen Youfu is old, he is still sharp and sharp. It is because he has been carrying the burden of a salesman for more than ten years that his waist is bent. He smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, where does this joy come from?"
"Uncle, I want to tell my eldest nephew Meng Sheng that I am related to him. My daughter from a distant place is thirteen this year. Her surname is Yang Ru and her name is Jin Lian. She is as beautiful as a flower and her family is wealthy. She is a good person.
People, I wonder what Uncle Fu’s wishes are?”
It's not that Chen Youfu doesn't miss Chen Mengsheng's lifelong events, but the old man knows that his son is not an ordinary person and is afraid that finding him a wife will miss Chen Mengsheng in the future, so he has never been in a hurry to ask a matchmaker for Chen Mengsheng. He thought: 10
Five years have passed, and it may be a good thing that Mrs. Osmanthus comes to propose marriage today.
"Thank you for your trouble, Aunt Guihua. I asked Qingzhu and then I will reply to Aunt Guihua. Do you agree?"
"Sure, Uncle Blessed, I'll come back tomorrow to hear your reply." So the two of them chatted for a while and Aunt Guihua said goodbye and went home.
At night, the father and son were drinking wine and eating. Chen Youfu told Aunt Guihua about his marriage proposal. Chen Mengsheng didn't mind and let Chen Youfu arrange it. After dinner, Chen Mengsheng cleaned up the dishes. The father and son went back to their rooms to rest.
Chen Youfu heard fairy music floating in a room while he was sleeping. He saw a man with a black gauze on his head and a rhinoceros horn around his waist. He was holding a tooth wat in his hand and was wearing a robe. He was wearing a pair of pink-soled boots, climbing into the clouds and mist, carrying a dream.
This book of life and death is destined to live or die, with fluffy sideburns floating around the ears, and beard flying around the cheeks. The visitor shouted: "Good man Chen Youfu, I am Cui Jue, the judge of the Yin Law Department. Good man Chen, your yang life has come to an end, I hope you will do good deeds."
Jide. Now there is a shortage of mountain god in Huashan Mountain in Xiyue. I will order you to take up the post in three days."
Chen Youfu was about to ask Judge Cui Jue, but he woke up from his dream. There were only four walls in the room, so how could there be Judge Cui Jue. Chen Youfu understood that he only had three days left to live, but he did not expect that he would still be alive after his death.
He was actually able to become a god. I was secretly happy in my heart, but I couldn't worry about Chen Mengsheng. He thought hard all night and finally came up with an idea. He fell asleep when the sky was about to get dark. People in this world will know about ghosts and gods when they do good things, and they will know about bad things when they do something bad.
I don’t think the ghosts and gods know about it. This is too embarrassing for the ghosts and gods.
After the rooster crows three times, people in Chenjiazhuang are all busy with various tasks. They go to the fields and do business. Chen Mengsheng put on his double-breasted coat and went to the outhouse to make some pancakes. When he saw his father
Before he even got up, he finished eating and went to the ground. Chen Youfu didn't get up until it was bright and he didn't eat breakfast. He went out with his crutches and hurried to his cousin Chen Yougui's house.
"Bang, bang, bang." The door of Chen Yougui's house was locked. Half a day later, he heard someone coming out to open the door. He took a quick look and saw that it was his sister-in-law Chen Jiujin. "Oh, brother, why are you so free today? You don't have a day.
Here we come." Chen Youfu knew that his cousin was often away from home, so he rarely came to his cousin's house.
"Are you at home?"
"That dead man, I don't know if he's out gambling or drinking. He hasn't been back for two days. What's the matter, brother?"
"Then my sister-in-law must find him back within three days. I have something important to ask of him." After saying that, he went back with his crutches.
In fact, Chen Yougui and his wife have not been idle over the years. After Chen Jiujin was blocked by Yuan Banxian, he looked around for several monks and Taoists. The capable monks and Taoists counted them and turned around and left. There were also a few.
This ignorant person helped Chen Yougui and his wife to stab Chen Mengsheng, but Chen Mengsheng was still alive and well. Chen Yougui and his wife no longer believed in the monks and Taoists, and Chen Mengsheng didn't know anything about it.
When Chen Youfu returned home, Aunt Guihua was already waiting for him at home. When she saw Chen Youfu coming home, her face smiled like a flower. "His uncle, have you told your eldest nephew about that?"
Chen Youfu said: "I said it, I said it. But let Aunt Guihua make the decision."
"That's good. His uncle, this is the birth date of my Jinlian. I delivered the baby Qingzhu, so I know the birth date. I asked Chen Xiucai to read it earlier, and he said the birth date is with him." Then Chen
The scholar is the teacher from Chenjiazhuang private school, the unlucky guy who was beaten by Chen Mengsheng. He doesn't know how to tell the horoscopes of birth dates. But he picked up the horoscopes of the two of them in order to save face, and looked at them for a while, and remembered that
Chen Mengsheng made himself the laughing stock of Chenjiazhuang for several years, and finally nodded and said "bah".
At this time, Chen Yougui and his wife came. Chen Yougui had not slept all night and had just returned home, so Chen Jiujin rushed him to Chen Youfu's house. When Aunt Guihua saw that they were here, she made an excuse and left.
.The reputation of that couple in Chenjiazhuang was really bad, and no one wanted to talk to them. Chen Youfu sent Aunt Guihua out of the courtyard.
"Brother, what's going on? What are you ladies doing here?"
"Aunt Guihua has proposed a marriage to your nephew. In a few years, when the girl turns fifteen, she will marry her. Brothers and sisters-in-law come into the house. Big brother has something to ask of you."
After the three of them entered the house, Chen Youfu closed the door. "Brother is getting older and older, and the only thing I can't worry about is my little boy Qingzhu. Big brother wants to entrust Qingzhu to you." After saying that, Chen Youfu walked into the back room with his crutch.
.
Chen Yougui and his wife looked at each other in the outer room for a while, thinking: This is like a pillow falling from the sky while dozing off.
Chen Youfu took out an earthen jar from the back room. Chen Yougui and his wife estimated that this was probably the eldest brother's savings, and they were secretly surprised. Chen Youfu handed the earthen jar to his cousin: "Brother, please keep this for me.
Just an earthen jar, wait until the day Qingzhu gets married and give this thing to him."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Zhuqing is your son and our nephew, how can we ignore him? Besides, brother, your body is as good as a cow." Chen Jiujin said this
He said, but his eyes never left the jar.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and then Chen Jiujin and Chen Jijin went home happily holding the earthen jar. After returning home, they closed the doors and windows and put the earthen jar on the table. The jar was sealed with red silk. Chen
Jiujin tore off the red silk ribbon, and there was a letter inside the jar. Chen Yougui opened the letter and saw that it was written by Chen Youfu to Chen Mengsheng: My son Qingzhu sees the words like his father.
My son will repay the debt owed to his father. I hope my son will be a good wife and think twice before doing anything.
After Chen Yougui read the letter, he poured the contents of the earthen jar on the table. Both the couple were shocked.
