One year after her marriage, a sharp cry of a baby came from the earthen kang in this small wing. Xiancao enjoyed the meticulous service of her mother-in-law Bai Zhao with a peaceful mind. After confinement, she jumped down from the kang, her face was radiant.
She is glowing, with two plump and plump breasts, and she is completely an attractive young woman.
The ceremony to celebrate the full moon of the first-born son was grand and warm. All important relatives and friends were notified, and relatives who had been cut off from contact for many years also came after hearing the news. Jiaxuan killed a pig and welcomed relatives and friends with great joy.
He didn't put much thought into giving the child the nickname of a pony, just as his father gave him the nickname of a leash dog. The more expensive and valuable the child is, the more auspicious it is to give him an ugly name;
When a child has passed through the troubled childhood and enters the private school stage, then he should put some effort into choosing an elegant and elegant official name for use in all public places. Jiaxuan listened to the people repeating it.
Rhetoric words to compliment a newborn baby - there is nothing that makes people happier than these words. He just smiles innocently, passes cigarettes and tea more diligently and more sincerely, and treats all relatives and friends regardless of distance or distance.
equality.
Although the day of celebration was warm, it was short-lived after all. What is intoxicating is the more fulfilling days and months to come. Although his wife Xiancao is from the mountains, she has received strict tutoring from an upper-class family in the mountains since she was a child. She treats people very decently and is not like
Generally, women from poor families in the mountains lack discipline and education. However, they do not grow cotton in the mountains, only flax. They cut off the flax stalks and soak them, then peel off the flax threads and carry them to the outside of the mountains. They exchange them for food from outsiders and home-woven coarse cloth.
Pick them back to the mountains. Xiancao can't spin and weave at first, which is a major flaw. A woman who can't spin and weave will find it difficult to assume the responsibility of a housewife in the family. Jiaxuan is marrying the first few women.
At that time, the first thing the matchmaker always praised to him was how strict the woman's upbringing was and how neat and exquisite her cooking skills were. She would also bring the spun tassels and woven plaid cloth for people to appreciate. When it comes to marrying fairy grass
At that time, I could no longer care about so much and only thought about passing on the family line. My mother, Mrs. Bai Zhao, understood this and was very knowledgeable and generous. She taught and demonstrated to her how to twist the elastic cotton into twisters and how to twist the twists.
After being spun into thread on the tip of the spindle, how does the spinning wheel rotate so that the thread spun out is uniform in thickness and solid? How is the spun thread starched, washed, and then drawn into warp threads?
Cooperate and throw the shuttle quickly and accurately; the next step is the more complicated technology, how to interweave and match the weft threads and warp threads of various colors, and then create plaid cloth of various stripes and colors. She taught her to be very patient, which is better than teaching herself
Her daughter also patiently tried her best. Xiancao was born with dexterity and she could master it as soon as she learned it, and the work she did was not as rough as the first-timers. This made Bai Zhao think highly of it, and Jiaxuan was naturally very happy.
When the child was one month old, his father-in-law brought two baskets full of gifts on a mule from the mountains, including food, clothing, and playthings. A pair of delicate silver bracelets were tied with a pair of small hammers made of peach wood. A hundred days later
, the little pony took the little mallet in her mouth, making a squeaking sound like she was sucking. Jiaxuan and Xiancao laughed heartily when they saw it, and naturally they thought of it tied to her waistband on the first night of their wedding.
The six peach wood mallets. The child was weaned just after turning one year old. The foal held the fairy grass in both hands but could not suck out the milk and cried day and night. The fairy grass had no experience of being a mother. He was so anxious that he asked his mother-in-law what was going on.
Mrs. Bai Zhao was not only unhurried but also said with some gloating: "I'm afraid someone else secretly stole the milk and ate it up." Xiancao suddenly blushed and remembered the scene of her husband sucking her milk with her at night.
. Later I realized that my grandma didn’t mean to make fun of her. She secretly took away the milk baby to mean that she had another baby in her belly.
After the second child was born and named Muleju, the relationship in the family changed fundamentally. The sudden financial prosperity caused by the successful introduction of opium poppy and the prosperity of the population brought about by the birth of two sons, completely wiped out the white family.
The shadows and bad luck in the hearts of mother and son. Mrs. Bai Zhao no longer interferes with her son's family and foreign affairs, fully believing that Jiaxuan has the ability and means to deal with all these; she also no longer interferes too much with the management of housework with jelly grass.
Because Xiancao has also been trained to handle all the housework that should be done by women in an orderly manner. She consciously and quietly began to retreat from the dominant position after Bingde's death. She now hugs one grandson and leads another grandson, coaxing the children in front of her.
The foal shook the mule foal in its arms and wandered proudly in the village alleys, looking for sunshine in winter and shade of trees in summer. It met those who came to the village alleys to sell pots of steamed buns and rock candy.
Ta, the peanut vendor, she took out the copper coins from under her lapel without hesitation. Those vendors got familiar with this skill over time, so they parked the baskets of steamed buns on their backs and the burdens of sugar on the pagoda tree outside Bai's house.
Under the tree, they shouted loudly or shook the tambourine in their hands vigorously. It wasn't until Bai Zhao was called out to buy something that they picked up the burden and moved a stall.
Bai Jiaxuan attributed this situation of prosperous people and wealth entirely to the relocation of the tomb. But now he has some regrets. The time of relocating the tomb was the most embarrassing time for him. He only built the dark courtyard and tomb room for the coffin.
However, the courtyard could not be built with blue bricks. Now it is difficult to renovate it. If the bones are constantly moving and the collision disturbs the Feng Shui spirit, the result may be counterproductive. He still decided to take remedial measures and use bricks all around the tomb.
Build it up and build a symbolic house on top of the tomb. This will not only shelter the tomb from wind and rain, but also allow the spirit of the White Deer to stay and prevent people who cut grass and dig firewood from disturbing the tomb. The first few days
The cypress trees planted last year were already very prosperous. Later, a few tangerine trees were transplanted, and the cemetery became a most decent tomb.
Bai Jiaxuan then got into a dispute. When he was building his father's tomb, a young man named Lu who came to help carry bricks and mud confided to him that he wanted to sell half an acre of water land, saying that his father was in the trench.
After losing all his belongings by playing dice, he never entered the house again, and now he doesn't know whether he will live or die. Bai Jiaxuan said cheerfully: "Just go and find the right person. I will give you as much as you want, whether you want grain or cotton."
"You talk to the middleman and I won't even reply." The young man surnamed Lu naturally found Mr. Leng as the middleman. Mr. Leng passed the seller's asking price to Bai Jiaxuan, and after hearing it, he immediately said: "Add more.
"Three buckets." This rare open-mindedness was praised by the villagers as an act of charity. A widow from the Li family in Bailu Village also came to Mr. Leng's traditional Chinese medicine hall and begged him to be the middleman and sell six cents of land to
Bai Jiaxuan of the Bai family said even more generously: "For orphans and widows, let alone selling land, even giving three to five dou as alms is what they should do. Plus five dou."
The next morning after signing and postponing the contract, Bai Jiaxuan went to the newly purchased land of the widow's house to inspect the land. From a distance, he saw someone driving a tall mule, a big horse, and a double harness of livestock in the field.
Farming like a shuttle. It is early summer, the sun has just risen, and the fields are soft and beautiful. The mules and horses raise their necks high, and the plowman is running exhausted holding on to the plow handle. Standing at the edge of the field is a tall man in black robes.
With his hands on his waist, it was Lu Zilin. Bai Jiaxuan couldn't help but speed up his pace and rushed to the end of the field. Lu Zilin pretended not to notice, put his hands behind his waist, and grasped the big black and thick penis that was dragged from head to buttocks.
Lu Zilin pretended to be surprised and said, "This is my land."
Bai Jiaxuan said: "It depends on the contract. It doesn't belong to whoever says it is." Lu Zilin said: "I don't care about the contract. It was the widow of the Li family who came to my house and wanted to sell the land to me." Bai Jiaxuan said: "
That's all for nothing. Yesterday, the widow of the Li family in the black room signed and deposited the money." Lu Zilin said in a long voice: "Who cares what you did in the black room? The widow of the Li family lent me five measures of wheat and eight silver dollars, and I agreed to use this money.
I have pledged a piece of land as a mortgage. If it is not returned within the time limit, of course I will use the plow to enclose the land." Liu Mouer, the long-term worker, was rushing to the field with his mules and horses. Lu Zilin took the whip from the long-term worker, took over the handle of the plow, and reined in the animals as if to demonstrate.
The plowing started. Bai Jiaxuan jumped forward and grabbed the reins of the mule and horse. The two men of similar age started fighting together. Liu Mouer, a long-term worker from other villages, did not dare to intervene and only went to catch the animals that fled. The mule and horse dragged them
The plow sticks were running stumblingly in the wheat fields that were already in bloom. The two men struggled from the widow of the Li family's field to the dry ditch at the edge of the field. At the same time, they fell into the grass nest of the ditch, then got up and continued to fight, and pulled again.
Drag him to the newly plowed land. At this time, many men and women came to the village. First, Lu Zilin's nephews joined in the battle, and then the men from Bai Jiaxuan's close family also took action, and soon they were swept into the Bailu duo.
There was a fierce fight, with torn pieces of cloth and discarded cloth shoes all over the floor. The fight had just ended when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Bai Zhao and Bai Wu ran up on their little feet.
Mr. Leng rushed to the scene of the accident before the Bai family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and shouted: "Stop!" It was like thunder on a sunny day, causing both parties to stop. Mr. Leng walked forward with his robe in one hand, holding Bai Jiaxuan with the other, and Bai Jiaxuan with the other.
Lu Zilin walked towards the town. When people surnamed Lu or Bai saw their master being dragged away, they dispersed one after another. The two of them were dragged into his Chinese medicine hall by Mr. Leng. Mr. Leng closed the door first to avoid onlookers.
Then he fetched two basins of water and asked them to wash the blood on their faces and hands. Then he applied white medicine to their scratched wounds to stop the bleeding. Mr. Leng said: "If we let it go, you both should go back and eat now."
Breakfast; if you can't stop, go to the county to file a lawsuit after dinner." After saying that, he opened the door latch and made a gesture with one hand to invite him out.
Bai Jiaxuan immediately found out that the Li family's widow had indeed sold the land to Lu Zilin first, and had paid five bushels of wheat and eight silver coins as a loan. After signing and deeding, the account would be settled. At this moment, Bai Jiaxuan saw Bai Jiaxuan give
The land price of the gambler's son was much higher than the land price Lu Zilin gave her. She changed her mind immediately and wanted to sell the land to Bai Jiaxuan. She used the money Bai Jiaxuan gave her to repay Lu Zilin's loan. Bai Jiaxuan found out.
After this process, he scolded the widow of the Li family: "Real woman's wisdom." But now that the matter had come to this, he could not tolerate Lu Zilin. He said to the person who persuaded him at home: "It's true that the widow of the Li family is a woman's wisdom. Come and give me some advice."
Let me tell you, I will never ask for her land again. If you don’t say anything and just pull the horse and hitch the plow, you will enclosure the land. This is obviously pissing on my face." He became more determined, no matter how wise the widow of the Li family was.
, this itself has nothing to do with him; now he holds the land sale contract in his hand, and there are reasonable and lengthy lawsuits going from prefecture to county. He has complained to the county government. Lu Zilin has also complained to the county government.
After the widow of the Li family and Bai Jiaxuan signed the signature, Lu Zilin found out that night. When both parties and the middleman, Mr. Leng, pressed their index fingers dipped in red ink pad, Lu Zilin had already made countermeasures of using mules and horses to enclose the land in the morning.
Lu Zilin explained the whole process of selling land to his father, Lu Taiheng. Lu Taiheng asked: "What do you think we should do?" Lu Zilin explained his method and explained it: "I don't care about the Li family."
The widow’s six points. This is what Bai Jiaxuan is doing to me.” Lu Taiheng said: “It’s okay if you can see this.” He acquiesced to the move that his son had decided. In his opinion, after Bai Bingde died,
, Bai Jiaxuan's bad luck has passed, and his wings have become stronger. This is his son Lu Zilin's potential opponent. While he is still alive, he should see that his son can at least become an opponent of Bai Jiaxuan, and he cannot let the opponent cross his legs and head.
You must fight the lawsuit for cheating, and you must win the lawsuit even if it costs you everything.
When Bai Jiaxuan came back from Zishui County to complain, he walked to Bailu Academy and told his brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu, about the excessive bullying of the Lu family. He wanted to ask his brother-in-law to give the county magistrate a hint so that he would be more certain to win this lawsuit. According to reports
Jiaxuan learned that every time a new county magistrate takes office, they all go to Bailu Academy to pay a visit to his brother-in-law, Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu said: "I heard yesterday about the war between you and the Lu family over the land.
I've written a complaint for you, just hand it to the Yamen when you go to court next time. Remember, open it and read it after you get home."
Bai Jiaxuan hurriedly returned home, opened the envelope under the vegetable oil lamp, and wrote a few lines of sparse and clear calligraphy in baby-style calligraphy on a small piece of rice paper: Brother Zhi Jiaxuan relies on his strength to suppress the opponent,
A fight and lawsuit resulted in both losses;
To be both benevolent and righteous,
A step of humility is ten feet wide.
After reading the note, Bai Jiaxuan had already vented most of his anger. He held the note and went to Mr. Leng at the Chinese Medicine Hall. He sighed repeatedly, "I'm so ashamed." After reading the note, Mr. Leng clapped his hands together and said, "What a wonderful show, Jiaxuan!"
Look -" He opened the drawer and handed a piece of paper to Jiaxuan. Jiaxuan was more and more surprised when he saw it. It had the same content and the same handwriting as the page of paper he handed to Mr. Leng, but the title became
"To Brother Zilin".
One night three days later, Mr. Leng invited Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, set up a banquet, and exchanged the paper notes with the same content they gave him to each other.
They expressed their sincere words, and then drank three glasses of wine. They reconciled and became better than before. Neither of them was embarrassed to ask for the six points of the widow of the Li family anymore, and they both generously offered to return the land to the original owners, the Bai family and the Lu family.
They each donated some food and silver coins to the widow of the Li family to help the widow tide over the difficulties. Mr. Leng immediately assigned the pharmacy clerk to call the widow of the Li family and broke the contract in person. The widow of the Li family knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin. She was so moved.
I was speechless and just shed tears.
This incident spread faster and more widely than the fight between the Bailu families. The magistrate of Zishui County, Gude Mao, was greatly moved and approved it as the "Benevolent and Righteous Bailu Village". He carved a stone tablet and wrapped it in red silk.
On the auspicious day, musicians played the music of peace and prosperity and delivered it to Bailu Village in person. Mr. Zhu, who had always lived in seclusion, also participated in this event. The stele was planted in the yard of the ancestral hall of Bailu Village, and from then on Bailu Village was also known as
