(Asking for votes to prevent being exposed...) - Chen Ke's study room was filled with many men. At this point, Su Shi and Su Che had no choice but to tell the story of the past grievances between the Su and Cheng families. After spending the last few days,
After the honeymoon period, the marriage between 'Jiang Qing' and a commoner showed its inherent flaws. The Cheng family's sense of superiority at all times prevented the two families from interacting like ordinary in-laws, but they could still maintain basic relations.
etiquette.
However, as Su Xun failed again and again, the Cheng family no longer had the patience to do anything superficial. The battered Su Xun was sensitive and self-respecting. Even though his family situation was deteriorating, he firmly opposed the Cheng family's request for help from his parents' family. The relationship between the two families fell to the lowest level.
Freezing point. A year and a half ago, Ba Niang and Cheng Zhicai got married. After the two families got closer, their relationship improved. However, the good times did not last long. After more than half a year, Ba Niang was not pregnant yet, and the Cheng family became unhappy. Again.
After half a year, Mrs. Song saw that there was still no movement in her stomach, so she decided to give Cheng Zhicai two concubines. This made Su Xun very dissatisfied, but carrying on the family line was a major event for the family, and Cheng Zhicai was the eldest grandson, so there was really nothing he could say.
In the following year, I met Ba Niang very rarely. Every time I saw her forcing a smile on her face, her body became thinner and thinner. Sometimes she sang poems with her siblings, but most of them sang in a desolate tone. Naturally, her family was very worried. On Qingming Festival, Su Xun took advantage of the opportunity to return to his hometown.
Taking the opportunity to worship her ancestors, she suddenly visited the Cheng family and saw her daughter looking like this... As for what she encountered in the Cheng family, Ba Niang remained silent, but it must have been all kinds of inhumane abuse. "The two families said.
It's already like this." Chen Ke endured it again and again, but couldn't help but asked: "Why did your mother still say that she would send her back after she is well? Are you going to let the Cheng family torture her again?" "This..." The Su brothers
With a look of embarrassment on his face, Su Che said angrily: "Third brother doesn't know something. Women who marry into the Jiangqing family like the Cheng family will only be kicked out of the house by them, and they will never leave on their own initiative!"
What a domineering Jiang Qing family!" Chen Ke sneered and said, "If Banniang just left of her own accord, what would we do?!" "Alas..." Su Che sighed depressingly: "It has been the practice for many years that the government does not
"Receive the divorce complaint from Jiang Qing's family..." "So overbearing?" Everyone was shocked from ear to ear: "Why?" In this era, there are four situations in which couples divorce. One is that the woman commits the 'seven outings', and the man can
A divorce letter dissolves the marriage; the second is 'justice', after one or both spouses break the law, the government will force a divorce; the third is 'harmony', which means both parties agree to divorce voluntarily; the fourth is 'complaint'
', which is a divorce lawsuit filed by both parties. Obviously, if the man does not cooperate and the woman wants to dissolve the marriage, she has no choice but to resort to litigation. However, the government does not accept the divorce submission from the Jiang Qing family. This is a legacy of the Tang and Five Dynasties. At that time, the aristocratic family
As for the superiors, the gentry always adopted the policy of reconciliation and divorce. As for intermarriage with the common people, it was not only very rare, but also absolutely strong. As Su Zhe said, no one could leave voluntarily unless they were kicked out. That's why Su Xun
Hui said fiercely that even if they couldn't make peace, Banniang would never go back... "There is even more trouble." Su Zhe said with worry: "Today Cheng Zhicai said that everyone in Meishan saw that my sister was carried out by a man.
The Cheng family ran all the way to the pier. The Cheng family must have felt disgraced and will definitely get her back." "What do they want?" Chen Ke raised his eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Take her back again?" "No.
Maybe..." Su Shi raised his head and said. "Go ahead and dream!" Chen Ke laughed loudly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At noon, after Chen Ke had eaten, he asked Aunt Zhang to find a few feet of white cloth and spread it on the table, as if he was going to write something. Before he could find the pen he had, he heard the door ring. "Come in." He said
He rolled up the cloth and threw it on the bed. "Third brother..." The door opened, and there was a little girl with tears in her eyes, biting her lower lip. She was wearing a plain white dress, like little white flowers after the rain.
People pity. "What's going on?" Chen Ke wiped her tears with his sleeve and said warmly. "Third brother, we have to move away. My father said we can't cause trouble to your family." The younger sister held on tightly.
He asked with his hand. "Where to move?" Chen Ke changed his usual playful smile and said in a cold voice: "Going back to Meishan? The Cheng family is waiting for you. You just threw yourself into a trap!" "This is a matter between us and the Cheng family.
"The younger sister bit her lower lip tightly and shook her head with tears rolling down her face: "We must not let Third Brother get involved..." "Shut up!" Chen Ke grabbed her slender waist and was extremely condescending, which was not tolerated.
He argued: "What to do is a man's business! At this time, the task of women and children is to keep quiet!" "But..." the younger sister said softly.[]
"Well..." Chen Ke said with a straight face and a nasal voice.
"So domineering..." the little girl muttered in a low voice, but leaned her head tightly against his solid chest. She never said a word again.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~ Under Erlang and Chen Ke’s insistence on staying, and because Banniang was still seriously ill, Su Xun could no longer insist, but insisted on Chen Ke’s promise that if there was any trouble, Chen Ke would never intervene.
Ke Ziran agreed wholeheartedly, but secretly asked several boys to take turns staying at the pier. As soon as something happened, they would report it immediately. However, no one passed their worries to Ba Niang, but instead created a calm and comfortable atmosphere for her.
The living atmosphere of her life. Her younger brothers and sisters were always around her. No one asked her what happened. They just talked with her and wrote poems to relieve her boredom. This made her feel extremely comforted and she gradually became more alive. Although she knew that the Cheng family did not
She would give up, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly... This morning, the Cheng family's ship docked at the East Gate Pier. More than 20 servants got off, led by the Cheng family's housekeeper Cheng Fa and Mrs. Song.
This large group of people immediately attracted the attention of the people of Qingshen. Many people actually put down their work and followed them wherever they went.
The Cheng family didn't pay attention to these common people at all, and went straight to Wenxing Street to find Su Xun's family.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I saw a wooden sign hanging on the door, 'The Cheng family and the wolf are not allowed to enter'...
"What are these two characters?" Lai asked, pointing to the two characters '猧猡', which he only had a rough understanding of writing.
"It's just a dog..." The butler of the Cheng family had read a book, and his face suddenly turned dark: "How dare you humiliate my Cheng family!"
"Break down the door!" Coach Hong, who was leading the servants, had been scolded in the past few days and was now trying to regain his place.
"Don't be reckless," Cheng Fa shook his head and said, "This family can be considered a house of officials, so we should be courteous first and then fight." It would be best if the strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snakes, and it is best if there is no conflict with the locals.
So the group of people took off the sign and went around to the main entrance of Chen's Mansion on Wenchang Street. This time they didn't see another wooden sign, but they called for the door for a long time and no one responded. When they pushed it with their hands, the door opened with a creak.
"Let's talk after we go in." Cheng Fa and Lai, along with Coach Hong and a few servants, entered the gate, turned around the screen wall, and saw a large flag made of white cloth, with eight large characters painted on it with sparse silver hooks and iron.
Anyone who breaks into a house without permission will be shot without mercy'!
There is a high chair under the banner, and a cold-faced young man is sitting on the chair. Behind the young man, there is a man like an iron tower standing, holding a five-foot-long iron rod in one hand.
"Two minor officials are invited." Seeing this formation, Cheng Fa gritted his teeth and said, clasping his fists: "The old man is in charge of the outer courtyard of the Cheng family in Meishan..."
"Who let you in?" The cold-faced young man spoke, and he could choke people to death as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I called the door for a long time, but didn't hear any response, so I came in to take a look."
"I don't want you to come in." The cold-faced young man said solemnly, "Coming in without my consent is trespassing!"
"I'm sorry, little official, I have to apologize to you." Cheng Fa bowed helplessly.
"You don't need to be honest. Leave immediately within three seconds." The cold-faced young man said expressionlessly: "Otherwise, according to the "Song Xingtong", anyone who breaks into a private house without permission will not be killed!"
"This..." Cheng Fa felt like a scholar meeting a soldier. Coach Hong knew it was time for him to show off, so he laughed loudly and said, "What a loud tone, do you think we are scared?"
"One," the young man ignored him at all: "Two!"
"Grandpa, stand right here." Coach Hong felt despised and said harshly: "You guys come over here!"
"Three." As the cold-faced young man reported the last number, the black tower-like man behind him rushed over, holding two iron rods. He took long steps and was in front of Coach Hong in the blink of an eye.
"Well done!" Coach Hong was not afraid. He had real skills, otherwise he would not be a coach. He turned his hand and showed an iron rod... The Song Dynasty had strict control over weapons. Except for officers and soldiers, not to mention
As a deadly weapon like a crossbow, you can't show off even with a sword, so you can only carry a stick.
With the sound of roaring wind and thunder, Wu Lang struck down with one hand. To be cautious, Coach Hong raised his stick with both hands to block.
There was a loud bang, and the two iron rods smashed together, causing sparks to fly out. A huge shock force was transmitted from the rod to his hands. Blood suddenly burst out of Coach Hong's mouth, and his arms instantly lost consciousness.
Before he could scream, Wulang's left hand held up another iron rod and smashed it down.
Coach Hong is indeed an experienced veteran. At the critical moment, he made the right choice. He abandoned his stick and rolled around like a lazy ass, narrowly avoiding that thunderous blow.
Cheng Fa and Lai looked in disbelief as Coach Hong was knocked down by two sticks. Before they could express their surprise, each saw an iron stick falling heavily on their shoulder blades. They didn't exert any force.
Both of them felt the pain of broken bones.
"Get out quickly." Coach Hong had already gotten up and retreated behind the screen wall. Only then did he remember to remind the two of them: "This kid is really deadly!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside the gate of the Chen Mansion, more and more people gathered. The servants of the Cheng Mansion still thought they were in Meishan, and drove them away nonchalantly: "Let's go, let's go, what's there to see?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter from the crowd. Looking back, he saw his own instructor Hong and several brothers who had gone in, running out with their heads in their arms.
Before the situation could be understood, a man with a black iron tower-like look on his face appeared at the door, holding Butler Cheng in one hand and Mrs. Lai in the other.
The man threw the two of them outside like trash, and then placed a big flag under his feet - 'Trespassing into private houses, shoot without mercy'!
After doing this, he looked at the servants with disdain, turned around and retreated calmly.
Inside the huge gate, there was not a single Chen family member, only that shocking big flag!
