When Zhao Yasi heard that Zhang Xu might come to Beijing to defect to Chen Xiang, his arrogance was completely dispelled. He thought that his plan was perfect, but once Zhang Xu came to Beijing, it would not be difficult for him to be admitted to the Jinshi with his talent and learning through Chen Xiang's recommendation.
.
If he offends the Zhang family badly now, he will face revenge from an official in the future. And based on his understanding of this prospective son-in-law, this person should not be provoked.
Zhang Shi lowered his head and said: "Oshi, my third brother and I did not know anything about it, but this matter is all wrong, and it is all the fault of our Zhang family. The two of us brothers admit their mistakes and are not asking you to be merciful and let us Zhang go."
It’s not home, but I sincerely want to accompany you.”
After listening to Zhang Shi's words, Zhao Yasi's expression softened a little, and he had to calm down a little. He had to step down now, especially when Zhang Xu was not caught, and he could not quarrel with the Zhang family.
Zhang Yue also nodded. His elder brother had really seen the world, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant.
Cao Baozheng, who had not dared to say a word, immediately became energetic when he saw Zhang Yue turning the situation around with just one sentence.
He didn't dare to be a peacemaker just now, but it's different now. He is a master at adjusting the atmosphere.
Cao Baozheng said with a smile: "The misunderstanding has been solved, isn't it? Si, I think Zhang Erlang also has an undecided temper. He was confused for a moment, but he will understand it later."
"Zhao Yasi, you think the marriage contract between the two families was made by the elders of the two families. How can the younger generation not be included in a sentence? This marriage contract is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. I promise to make the decision for the Zhang family.
As long as Zhang Erlang returns to his hometown in fine clothes and the engagement between the two families remains the same, then I will not have to go out to catch my son-in-law..."
Zhao Yasi interrupted: "Thank you for your good intentions, but when Zhang Erlang returns to his hometown in the future, I, Zhao, can shamelessly ask him to welcome his daughter to the house again? The relationship between the Zhang family and the Zhao family has been since Zhang Erlang escaped from marriage.
This is a severance of friendship. Today I only need the Zhang family to pay back the dowry money of 300 guan and keep the accounts clear."
"Then how should I settle the bill for the owner burning my shop?" Zhang Yue asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Asi sneered and said, "So what if I burn it? I'm thinking of my friendship with your late father's family, and I gave you a chance to say a few words. Do you think I, Mr. Zhao, can't talk easily?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse again, Cao Baozheng immediately came forward and said: "Please calm down Zhao Yasi. To this day, the engagement between the Zhang and Zhao families has not been terminated. If the engagement has not been terminated, the two families are one family. Is this true? That is true.
Is there anything that a family can’t sit down and talk about?”
Zhao Yasi said: "Zhang Erlang is unjust first, who is still a family with him?"
Cao Baozheng smiled apologetically and said: "Since Yasi said they are not a family, it means that the Zhang family has no chance to reach high places. It is normal for this woman to remarry. Yasi will definitely get a good son-in-law. The Queen Mother of this dynasty also remarried, not only to Emperor Zhenzong
, and it’s also called Zhi Lin Chao.”
Baozheng is talking about Liu E, Empress Dowager Liu, and later generations often refer to her as Empress Lu and Empress Wu. Liu E was born among the people, and was already a married woman before she fell in love with Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. However, she became the Empress Dowager with overwhelming power over the world. Some ministers once
After persuading her to follow the military example and replace the young Song Renzong as emperor, Liu E threw a letter to the ground and said, "I will never do this to let down my ancestors."
From today's perspective, her life can be described as extremely inspirational, and even female pornographic novels would not dare to write about it like this.
Cao Baozheng cited the example of Empress Dowager Liu E and said: "If the two families continue to quarrel now, it will not help the situation, but it will do harm to the reputation of the two families. If Zhao Asi is showing his noble hand at this moment, others will only praise your virtuous name.
It would also be beneficial for Yu Ling's daughter to marry again."
Zhang Yueshen nodded in agreement.
To translate Cao Baozheng's words, if you don't break off the engagement and remarry once or twice these days, how can you be the protagonist? The issue now is not about breaking off the engagement, but about 'Don't bully young people into poverty'! Then your daughter will marry a better one.
What matters more is coming to slap us in the face or thanking us for not marrying us back then.
Neighbors watching the show outside thought, yes, Zhao Yasi did this to his predecessor's in-laws. Even though the fault lies with the other party, the latter's in-laws will still murmur in their hearts.
But Zhao Yasi sneered and said, "What a good Cao Baozheng, if you put it this way, the breakup of the engagement of the Zhang family can be said to be a happy event for our family?"
"Chief, you absolutely don't dare to do this!" Cao Baozheng immediately shouted.
Zhang Shi said: "As for our Zhang family's fault in the first place, we accept that we should be beaten and punished, and we will never make the prisoner unable to explain to others."
Zhao Yasi sneered and said: "According to Cao Baozheng's words, the matter of breaking off the engagement is just over. Why should you pay for your life if you kill people? Why not just pay some money for the wrong?"
Stuck at this moment.
Zhang Yue deliberately said to Cao Baozheng: "Baozheng! I don't understand something and I want to ask you for advice."
Cao Baozheng nodded and said, "Sanlang, please tell me."
Zhang Yue said: "My second sister-in-law is still the daughter-in-law of our Zhang family. Now that my second brother is not in Pucheng, how can I get married again?"
Cao Baozheng said: "I would like to ask you to issue a ruling. The two families are righteous. It is unjust to abandon my wife first. The love between husband and wife has been ended."
Zhang Yue said: "But Baozheng, the law stipulates seven sins. Which one is the sin of abandoning your wife? There has never been a husband who must not abandon his wife, but there is a saying that 'a wife must not abandon her husband'. Now it is better for the two families to sit down and do it together
I must make it clear to your Majesty that peace and separation will be the end of the matter. Even if this does not make up for the regret, it will sound better for the reputation of the two families."
"Yes." Cao Baozheng's eyes lit up.
In ancient times, the dissolution of a marriage was usually initiated by the husband, which was called divorce. Yi Jue meant that the husband's family had made a mistake, and the wife could not divorce her husband. It could only be done by the government, which was called Yi Jue.
The law still reflects that men are superior to women. There is no judgment for abandoning a wife, but you can divorce your wife if you abandon your husband. The Zhang family will insist on this point and drag out the lawsuit. There is nothing you can do about it, but divorce
It will be different.
The two parties sit down and dissolve the marriage based on friendly negotiation and peace is the most important thing. For example, although the husband's family has wronged the wife, it does not meet one of the seven sins of justice, and it is not the wife's fault. If the husband divorces his wife, then
It is harmony and separation.
Baozheng said knowingly: "Yes, Zhang Erlang's escape from marriage has caused great humiliation to the family. Even if it costs a lot of money, it will be difficult to undo it. Now that the matter has come to this, I would like to ask the commander to think twice about my daughter's future, and
If Li Chuan is heard well, it will also be good for my concubine to remarry in the future."
Zhao Yasi looked at Zhang Yue and sneered: "What a cunning boy, can you use Cao Baozheng's mouth to bargain with me?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare. It's just that my brother and I have nowhere to stay. Please let us live here for a while, with a tile to live in, or just a few tiles, and let us brothers sell the house on our own."
, as for the money owed to the bailiff will not be less."
Zhang Shi also said: "In the future, our Zhang family will host a banquet for famous people in this city, and then we two brothers will apologize to the police officer in person."
Zhao Yasi thought about it and said: "You should first write the letter of letting go of your wife on behalf of your second husband, and return the contract together with it."
"Okay." Cao Baozheng looked delighted, and the Zhang brothers agreed.
The letter of release of his wife was drafted by Baozheng.
However, Baozheng wrote: It talks about the bond between husband and wife, the deep love between husband and wife, the profound kindness and righteousness between husband and wife. It also talks about the reasons for sharing a bed, and the joy of being together.
Any reason for being a couple is that they were connected in the past three lives before they are matched with each other in this life.
…
May the wife and daughter-in-law comb their temples again after they are separated, sweep their eyebrows beautifully, show off their graceful posture skillfully, select high-ranking officials, play in front of the shadow court, and imitate the harmonious rhythm of the harp and harp.
Resolve grievances and knots, let alone hate each other; separate one from the other, and each will be happy.
I wish my wife long life.
Akihiro Akihiro
I hereby write this letter on May 16, the third year of Zhihe
…
Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw "One parted, two separated, each happy". It turned out that the source of this saying was here. The ancients divorced so happily, and they also wished their ex-wives to find a happy home again.
However, 'discussing the reasons for sharing the quilt, cherishing the joy of the 卺' is a bit formulaic, and my second brother and others have done nothing.
The eldest brother is like father, and Zhang Shi is currently in charge of the whole family.
So he signed for Zhang Xu. Zhao Yasi took the letter of letting go of his wife in his hand, and his eyes suddenly became slightly wet. At this moment, he was not Zhao Yasi who made the child dare not cry at night, but just a father.
"How is my miserable daughter now different from this little family?" Zhao Yasi cried out while holding the paper.
"Oshi! There are so many young talents." Cao Bao said honestly.
Zhang Shi said: "Asi, we two brothers have to rest in Pucheng. We hope that Aisi will be more noble in the future!"
All the neighbors said: "Yes, yes, the police officer is so noble, let the two families resolve this grudge!"
"This matter has been revealed, let's get together and part ways!"
Zhao Yasi turned around and wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then said: "It's easy to just expose it."
"The fault for this matter is not with you brothers, but with Zhang Erlang. The custodian of this ledger will go to him to settle the matter. This house can be left to you temporarily, and the remaining debt will be paid off within a month. Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river,
Don’t think that just because you are a scholar, your Zhang family is bullying others too much!"
At this moment, Zhang Mi almost cried with joy and said: "Thank you, Oshi, for showing mercy!"
Seeing Zhang Shi being like this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but thought that his brother was too gullible. If Zhao Yasi found out that his second brother had not come to Beijing, there was no guarantee that he would go back on his word.
The minions on the left and right were holding torches, illuminating Zhao Yasi's face with uncertainty: "Move!"
Everyone began to move anything that looked valuable in the Zhang family's house. There were two men who looked like accountants on the side, writing and counting: "One broken bed."
"A broken spring stool."
"A tent with broken curtains."
Zhang Yue thought for a while, turned around and ran upstairs, taking a book from his brother's bookshelf and pocketing it with him.
He remembered a saying in the past that a family could lose a lot of money, but if their descendants are still studying, there is still hope. This sentence means that books are the most expensive these days and must not be sold.
Zhang Yue stuffed the book and picked up a mosquito net. Zhao Yasi glanced at it and said nothing, which made Zhang Yue regret it. He would have taken a few more books if he had known this.
Then Zhang Yue watched the other party move away a bookcase of books, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. These people didn't finish moving until midnight, and even the beds, chairs and stools were cleared away.
As for the ones that couldn't be moved, they weren't smashed, so it saved some face for the Zhang family.
"Asi, go slowly! Hurry and hold the lamp for Asi and light up the front!"
Cao Baozheng, with a considerate look on his face, escorted Zhao Asi out with the neighbors.
When Cao Baozheng returned to the house and saw the Zhang brothers, he cursed again: "Those bastards won't even leave Zhang Zhuzi to us!"
The other party walked away, and Cao Baozheng spat out this sentence, which was indeed very courageous.
Baozheng said to Zhang Shi: "Forget it, Dalang, we are not on the same level as them. In a few days we will set up a few tables and have a drink, invite Zhao Yasi over, and the matter will be over."
Zhang Shi cupped his hands gratefully and said, "Zhang would like to thank Baozheng for this. You neighbors are so righteous!"
All the neighbors said: "Zhang Dalang, a good man is rewarded. We have been neighbors for so many years, but you are out of touch by saying this."
"Yeah! Who doesn't have to memorize Chinese characters?"
Baozheng said to everyone: "Neighbors, the Zhang family is empty right now. How about we help out and put together some supplies so that their brothers can have a place to stay?"
"Yes, yes." The neighbors on the left and right said at the same time.
Baozheng turned to Zhang Shi and Zhang Yue said: "You two brothers will go to my house to have a rest tonight. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow."
Zhang Shi sighed: "Everything is done properly.
Baozheng then took Zhang Shi and Zhang Yue home. When he went out, Zhang Shi subconsciously wanted to lock the door, but when he saw the door that had been kicked in and the room was empty, he couldn't help but froze for a while.
"It doesn't matter if you don't lock it."
Baozheng immediately took his two brothers to stay at his home. Baozheng's wife also boiled hot soup for Zhang Yue to wash himself.
The two brothers rested together.
Zhang Yue took out the book from his arms and read two chapters on King Hui of Liang and Gongsun Chou by the lamp.
Seeing this, Zhang Shi was secretly pleased. In the past, the third brother had fun all day long and did not go to school. This time, there were changes in the family, and he became a lot more sensible. It must be the blessing of his parents in heaven. Unknowingly, the third brother has grown so old.
Zhang Shi was very happy when he thought of this, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes unconsciously.
"Brother, I'll watch it for a while and then fall asleep."
Suddenly I heard Zhang Shi say: "Look, I remember what my father said back then, although you were naughty when you were young, you will inherit his ambition to bring glory to the Zhang family in the future."
"Originally, I thought it was dad who said this casually! But today..."
"...Today I see you chose Mencius. There are so many books on your second brother's bookshelf, but this is the only one left by my father back then!"
Zhang Yue didn't know what to say when he heard this. He read for a while and lay down on the bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.
Strangely enough, as soon as Zhang Yue fell asleep, he was in the same place where he saw the old man yesterday.
It was dark all around, except for a starry river hanging upside down in the sky.
Suddenly, a feeling of loneliness welled up from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Yue didn't know when it started or when it ended, where he was, or how to deal with himself.
Suddenly, the two stories about King Hui of Liang and Gongsun Chou that he had read before going to bed suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Yue's eyes, unfolding like a scroll.
this……
The brilliance of the words danced in the air, and Zhang Yue couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but as if he had touched the water, all the words dispersed in ripples.
Then one scene after another appeared in front of him.
This is all what I experienced last night. Zhao Yasi's appearance and every detail on his expression were not missed, and even every word he said was in my ears.
At this time, in the house, Zhao Yasi said coldly, "It doesn't matter if your shop burns down."
This scene reappeared repeatedly in Zhang Yue's mind, and he captured in his memory the momentary surprise and anger on Zhao Yasi's expression when he said these words.
Zhang Yue stretched out his finger and swiped. This scene was like watching Douyin Kuaishou on his mobile phone. The scene appeared repeatedly in reverse. Zhang Yue thought about it and played this scene repeatedly several times. The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Looking at Zhao Asi's expression, it seems that he ordered someone to burn down his shop?
Zhang Yue stretched out his hand to take a picture, but saw that the picture disappeared. At this time, Mencius's two articles "King Hui of Liang" and "Gongsun Chou" came back to him.
It turns out that these two articles are already engraved here!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue was stunned for a long time and thought to himself, this is too beautiful, it is simply a show of nature!
Zhang Yue suppressed his excitement, sat cross-legged on the grass, and began to recite the book.
The night is long and the stars are far away.
There is nothing else here except me, heaven and earth are one with me.
It seemed like an hour, two hours passed, and I was not tired at all.
How long has it been since you read a book seriously?
After graduation? After going to college?
Why do I always say, "I can't do anything, but I'm the best at catching fish"?
He also made up his mind to change it and study hard, but he always spent three days fishing and two days drying nets.
Why did I give up on myself and give up on treatment?
If God gives him another chance...it's actually pretty cool to fish! At least that kind of guilt-ridden indulgence is something that top academics will never experience!
Zhang Yue read these two articles several times. At this moment, Dan felt a thought in his mind, and suddenly everything in front of him turned into brilliance and dissipated.
It was as if he had returned to the human world from mid-air and felt his own body. At this moment, Zhang Yueqiang opened his eyes, and his brother Zhang Zhen beside him was tossing and turning and did not fall asleep.
Reading by myself seems to take a whole day, but here it only takes a moment!
Zhang Yue thought of this, but he felt a wave of fatigue welling up in his heart. The energy he had just overdrawn had to be cashed in at this moment. Suddenly, his mind became so heavy that he no longer wanted to fall asleep.
The night breeze is slightly cool, the Nanpu River is still flowing, and the solitary mountain stands beside the stream!
After getting up the next day, Zhang Yue was shocked to find that he had already memorized half of the two chapters of "King Hui of Liang" and "Gongsun Chou" he had read last night!
And I don’t feel tired at all. I woke up feeling refreshed today. It’s like having too much homework last night, sleeping first and then getting up, only to find that someone has already written your homework for you.
This feeling is really...cannot be described in words.
At this moment, Zhang Yue almost burst into tears. For the first time in his two lives, he felt that "knowledge brings me strength, and learning makes me happy."
Zhang Yue looked up to the sky and said to himself: "I always thought that only reading could make me sleep. I never thought that one day I would be able to read while sleeping!"
When Zhang Yue said this, Zhang Shi happened to be pushed in.
Zhang Shi looked at his younger brother, muttering something to himself on the roof, and jumping up and down excitedly.
Then Cao Baozheng also walked to the door of the house, and his eyes met with his brother's.
"Could it be that...you have some kind of hysteria?"
"Overnight, my family became destitute, and I can save it. This can be considered as a source of joy from extreme sorrow!"
Zhang Shi coughed lightly, and exited the room with Cao Guo.
