Chapter 223
Liguo is in good spirits, at least not as bad as Zhao Changqing imagined.
Li Guo said very poorly, "It's not that anyone hasn't said it." When something happened at home, the tribe members were wary of their brothers, let alone rumors. Now they have just experienced it again. They survived such difficulties when they were young, and now they won't die for a few rumors.
"Just keep it steady, it's hard for a while." In three years, no one will remember this. Zhao Changqing said, "If you have something in your heart, tell me, one person is a plan, two are a plan, don't be bored by yourself."
Li Guo suddenly laughed, "Sister Qing, you really look like my mother."
Zhao Changqing raised his eyebrows, "If you want to change your words and call me mother, I will definitely accept it. I will give you New Year's money for the New Year."
Li Guo choked and said, "As soon as she fell into the yamen, my father-in-law asked me to go to his house. I was thinking about you, so I came with Brother Awen first. Don't worry, I'm fine. The censor's book is just asking me to file a lawsuit against myself. But what should I do if the Wang family fails to get out of the marriage."
Zhao Changqing said, "When you encounter such a little thing, how can you say quit your marriage? You haven't asked Miss Wang before, how can you know she doesn't want to share the joys and sorrows with you? Get up quickly and don't sit stupidly. I'll go to the Wang family with you, we have to talk about this to others."
It was already a little late, Li Guo said, "I'll just go by myself."
"What are you going to say? Say to withdraw from the marriage?" Zhao Changqing ordered Yongfu to prepare a car, and Xia Wen said, "I will accompany you to come."
Zhao Changqing nodded and said to Li Guo, "You are not guilty, cheer up! Don't forget that Lord Zheng knows your family's affairs. The Censor's actions must not be approved by Lord Zheng. When you see Wang Hanlin, remember to tell Wang Hanlin. Explain the matter clearly and talk about the marriage. Don't talk about resigning from marriage. You have to tell Wang Hanlin that if Miss Wang is still willing to do this marriage, you will be kind to her for the rest of your life and live up to her. If Miss Wang is unwilling, let the Wang family quit. You are very willing to do this marriage. You sincerely ask for marriage. You cannot give up your wife first if there is any difficulty. She will be the one who will live with you for the rest of your life!"
Zhao Changqing was very decisive and had a clear goal, "Go to Wang Hanlin's house first, then to Zheng's house." He first kept Li Guo's wife, and then kept Li Guo's official position.
Zhao Changqing was riding a car and Xia Wenliguo rode a horse.
Wang Hanlin's family was sighing. The daughter's marriage was always unhappy. Finally, she met Li Guo, a young man who looked at everything, but there was a murderer's sister at home. When Mrs. Wang thought of Li Hua killing her father and uncle, she was chilling.
Mrs. Wang wondered if this Bodhisattva hadn't worshipped her. It was said that the incense in Xishan Temple was the most powerful. At that time, she made a wish in front of the Buddha and asked her daughter for a perfect man. When she saw Li Guo, a monk from afar, Mrs. Wang was really willing, but she didn't expect that the Zhao family would have such relatives. How could they be so close to her? Really, she spent a lot of money to fulfill her wish.
Wang Hanlin was quite pertinent and said, "After all, it's not dried pear fruit. This bastard's dog censor deliberately smeared pear fruit."
Mrs. Wang said, "After all, there is something like this at his family, otherwise the Censor would not talk about this."
Wang Hanlin said, "Who has not had any tides and obstacles? When Pear came last time, didn't you praise him for his success? Both brothers are motivated and capable."
Mrs. Wang said, "You have to ask his family to ask clearly. You can't just marry your daughter in a daze."
“This is nature.”
The old couple of the Wang family were discussing, and Liguo came to the door, which was exactly what they thought.
Xia Wen was received by Prince Wang, Li Guo and Wang Hanlin went to the study, Zhao Changqing and Mrs. Wang talked in the inner courtyard, and Miss Wang was on the side, and asked the maid to serve tea fruit. Zhao Changqing took the tea, took a sip, and said sincerely, "In recent days, rumors have been kept. I guess something will happen, but I didn't expect someone to provoke Li Guo and even bring out old things. I thought, my in-laws were anxious, so I brought Li Guo here. Whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, who is right or wrong, or who is wrong, or whether it is reasonable, it should be clear to you and Sister Wang."
Mrs. Wang was a little old and did not blame her. Instead, she followed Zhao Changqing's wishes, "No, I didn't know what to do after hearing this. I had everything I said outside, and relatives and friends came to inquire. I wonder which one is real and which one is fake?"
Seeing that Miss Wang looked nice, Zhao Changqing said in a gentle voice, "I know this best except for Brother Lizi Liguo. Lizi is not in the imperial capital, so I will talk to my aunt and sister. Lizi Liguo also has a sister named Lihua, three years older than me. Because she is of the same clan and lives next to each other, we recognized her when we were young. Liguo's father is Zhao Da, which is considered to be my father's brother. I have been listening to Zhao's fight since I was a child and fight every day. Zhao Da is also a vacancier. When he gets his salary, he goes to gamble. When he wins the bet, he goes to spend money. When he loses the bet, he goes home to beat his wife. When he doesn't have money, he beats his wife, eats, drinks, and gambles. He does everything, but he doesn't do serious business. Liguo
My younger brother, life was very difficult when he was a child. Later, Lihua gradually grew up and went out to do some handmade work and weaved baskets and baskets for others. Their mother washed clothes for people. This way, she made money and lived a life of money. Fortunately, she could fill her stomach. She was also lucky. Even older, we raised some silver. Lihua and her mother set up a stall on the street to sell breakfast. We prepared a secret recipe for seasoning. This secret recipe was used to steam buns and make braised food. The taste was very delicious, so the business of the breakfast stall was very good. After saving some money in the stall, she rented a shop and opened a bun shop and a snack shop. Because of the secret recipe, the shop business was very prosperous."
"Everything comes from this secret recipe. In the border town, there is a century-old bun shop, and his colleagues are enemies. Because the Lihua business is doing well, the young owner of the shop has always wanted to get this secret recipe. The secret recipe is the foundation of one's life, how can he be with others? The young owner did not get the secret recipe, so he privately paid 500 taels of silver and bought Lihua as a concubine from Zhao Da, hoping to get the secret recipe. However, the Zhao family is not a top family in the border town, and there are thousands of people in the clan, and they never buy or sell their children, which is simply defiling the ancestors. When the clan leader found out, he was furious. Lihua and the others raised 500 taels of silver to the young owner, and gave up the matter of selling themselves. Therefore, the matter was too ridiculous, and Zhao Da was ruled by the clan.
The punishment broke his legs and had to raise them at home. Although Lihua spent 500 taels of silver, the matter was finally settled. It was just to buy peace. My aunt had seen Lizi and Liguo, and his sister was even better. After this, Lihua was more focused on business and the shop's business became more prosperous. Unfortunately, something happened to my family and my father's official position was demoted, and the young owner took his ideas to the secret recipe. This time, he learned from the last lesson and dared not do business anymore. Instead, he bribed Lihua's grandfather and uncle. They took Zhao Da from his family to the casino when there was no one at home and set up a bet. Zhao Da lost tens of thousands of silver overnight, signed a marriage letter, and married Lihua to the young owner as a concubine."
"If it's a business, it's still possible to turn around. This time he signed a wedding letter. Zhao Da was also Li Hua's father. The wedding letter had been signed, which was a foregone conclusion. What's more, what should I pay for the gambling debt?" Zhao Changqing's eyes flashed in tears, "Li Hua started to earn money to support the family at a very young age. From weaving baskets and doing handicrafts for people to manage a huge shop, all the hard work was ruined by Zhao Daquan. Their grandfather and uncle were employed by others, and they could get a lot of benefits just by waiting for Li Hua to marry. And that young boss was waiting for both people and wealth. Not to mention Li Hua, no one could be willing to change anyone. Li Hua was desperate. Before she got married, she ordered people to buy alcohol, put sweat medicine in the alcohol, and killed all the three fathers and uncles."
"People who have never experienced it will say, why didn't she marry into a concubine? But is it just a way to survive? Some people will say, even if they don't have a way to survive, they shouldn't kill their father and grandfather? Is Lihua afraid of death? If she is afraid of death, she will not kill people. But, what should she do if she dies? If she is dead, what should she do? If her father, grandfather, and uncle, who can sell pear blossoms to their mortal enemies, will they sell pear fruits in the future?" Zhao Changqing couldn't help but shed tears and said, "I didn't tell my aunt about this before, because it's not.
Know how to speak. People who don’t know will regard her as a crazy person, but who can do better than her in her situation? The Lizi Liguo brothers were not raised by their father, but raised by their sister. How others say Lihua is someone else’s business. But Lihua worships Lihua every year for their brothers, like mother and sister. After Lihua was removed from the genealogy, they would worship Lihua every year. Don’t talk about their brothers, even me, and I don’t think Lihua is wrong. Don’t blame her for this, but if you blame her, you can only blame this fate.”
Zhao Changqing couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of Lihua. Wang's mother also blushed and sighed and couldn't speak. Miss Wang advised Zhao Changqing, "Sister, don't be sad. Both Mr. Zhao are promising people. I think it would be a pleasure to know if Sister Lihua knew. I didn't know these inside stories at first, and only heard the rumors. My parents were inevitably anxious. Now that I know the reason, my family is not an unknown family."
Zhao Changqing wiped his tears and sighed, "You can understand that it is the blessing of Liguo. That silly boy was not anxious to be involved in the censor. He was just worried about the marriage, afraid that his aunt and sister would be difficult to do, and he said all the words to withdraw from the bride, but he was afraid that he would delay his sister. I told him that I had experienced the difficult days before, and he did not grow up in a honey pot. Who can live a smooth journey in this life? It was not that he was climbing mountains and wading in water. What's more, the Zuodu Censor Zheng knew about the matter of pear blossoms. That year, when the Zhao family had this incident, Lord Zheng was working as a censor in the border town. When Lord Zheng knew this, he sighed that although the law was difficult to forgive, his feelings were pitiful. According to Lord Zheng's character, this memorial must be carried on Lord Zheng's back, and it was not Liguo who wanted to attack him. He was a little Hanlin. Who would have put such efforts to harm him? The drunken man's intention was not to drink."
Mrs. Wang asked, “Why is that?”
Zhao Changqing looked at Mrs. Wang, "The secret recipe we made of that flavor was later improved, and it is the current seasoning powder."
Mrs. Wang was slightly surprised, "So seasoning powder is your business?"
Zhao Changqing said vaguely, "You can say that."
Miss Wang asked, "Sister, I heard that anyone who has been interviewed by the Censor must submit a letter to the Censor to defend himself. Does Mr. Zhao also have to submit a letter to the Censor to defend himself?"
Zhao Changqing nodded, "Of course I want it too. We were thinking about it, and we would go to Master Zheng's mansion in a while."
Miss Wang hurriedly said, "It's nothing important here in my house. It's just a few gossips that you won't take it to heart. Don't delay your sister's business."
Mrs. Wang also said, "Yes, don't ask your father to talk too much in the study. I'll call him out." As he said that, he got up and went to the study. Miss Wang apologized and said to Zhao Changqing, "My mother is too anxious."
Zhao Changqing patted her hand, "Li Guo is considered a young man's success. I originally wanted to marry you with a glorious family, but I didn't want this to happen."
Miss Wang was a little shy, "I had a marriage contract before and told my sister directly that she didn't bother me. As long as he was a decent person, life would be slow, and the wind and beauty would be for others to see."
Zhao Changqing finally felt relieved.
Mrs. Wang called her husband out of the study and asked him to say something tomorrow. Wang Hanlin learned that they were going to Zheng Jingshi's house and no longer delayed it, so he hurriedly asked them to go. Miss Wang ordered her to pack two packs of fruits tightly for Zhao Changqing, "At this time, my sister is afraid that she hasn't eaten yet, so she will put on the road to repair it."
When we arrived at the Zheng family, it was already dark.
Lord Zheng usually prevented him from leaving his connections and opening the back door, so the Zheng family gate was closed quite early. After he was told to open the door, the doorman invited them in because Zhao Changqing often came and went. Lord Zheng knew what he was here to do when he saw Li Guo. After thinking about it, he asked Xia Wenli Guo to go to the study. Zhao Changqing went to Zheng Miaoying's place. Zhao Changqing was full of apologies, "It was very urgent, so he came over with shamelessness."
Zheng Miaoying invited Zhao Changqing to sit down and poured tea for her, "I still want to go find you if you don't come. Who are you offended? Isn't this intention to find you?"
Zhao Changqing took the tea and held it in his palm and said, "Where can I guess who was planning at this time? I can only understand the border town so thoroughly. I either know me well or I have checked it out. But I can't even name it in the imperial capital. Who would investigate me specifically?"
Zheng Miaoying said, "It's strange that Xiaolihua is a matter of being strange. I also know Xiaolihua. I asked my father that the memorial of the Censor was presented directly without the Censor's Office."
Zhao Changqing didn't understand these procedures very well, so he thought for a while and said, "I heard that His Majesty hasn't been to court for several months. Without going through the Censorate, how can the memorial be submitted? Could it be directly handed to the cabinet?"
"That's it." Zheng Miaoying said, "I don't know if it was the memorial received by someone from the cabinet."
The cabinet was very far away from Zhao Changqing, and Zhao Changqing had no clue and said, "I have to look at it slowly."
Zhao Changqing took a sip of tea, "I used to think that all the ministers in the court read the books of sages, they must be amazing people like Lord Zheng. Now it seems that ministers and ministers are different. The people who have submitted memorials these two times are not much better than women in the inner house. In my previous life, I was afraid that they would be thrown into a fight with cocks, so I could pinch them. I could even ask them to find out if I went to the Hualou for medical treatment. I used the matter of pear blossoms to attack pear fruit, and then used the matter of attack pear fruit to speak out. If you have this skill, it would be bad to do some serious things? How many corrupt officials didn't see them? "
Zheng Miaoying said, "This is the court."
Xia Wenliguo and Lord Zheng said in the study for half an hour before coming out. Zhao Changqing and Zheng Miaoying said goodbye. Zheng Miaoying said, "Go relax. I will give you a post in a few days.
I have known Zheng Miaoying for more than ten years, and there is no need to be polite to each other. Zhao Changqing smiled, "I will come if you don't post."
Li Guo went back home directly. Zhao Changqing told Li Guo about Miss Wang's words. Li Guo's heart was slightly warm and his expression was much calmer. He said, "Sister, go back early to rest, don't worry, I'm fine."
Zhao Changqing handed him the fruit, "Save it for eating slowly."
Seeing that Zhao Changqing and Xia Wen had left, Li Guo moved her horse's head and rode her horse home.
The Xia family is also worried about the liguo. After all, everyone is getting close to each other. Not to mention that they all prosper and lose together, there is always a relationship.
Yongfu ordered the kitchen to prepare meals. When the two of them came back, they ordered the kitchen to present the food after washing. Zhao Changqing said, "Go and tell the master and wife, we will go after dinner."
Yongfu said, "I have ordered Xiaohong to pass by, grandma and grandma to have a meal with peace of mind."
Both of them were hungry, Zhao Changqing handed Xia Wen a bowl of soup and couldn't help asking, "What did Lord Zheng say?"
Xia Wendao, "Mr. Zheng knew the most about Lihua and agreed to tell me one or two of them for Liguo."
Zhao Changqing felt a little relieved, Xia Wen said, "Didn't the Wang family change their minds?"
Zhao Changqing laughed, "Miss Wang is right, it has feelings and righteousness."
After rinsing, the two went to the banana courtyard to talk about this. Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Xia, relieved, and Mrs. Xia said, "Is there any feng shui wrong? I heard that the incense of Xishan Temple is the most powerful. Changqing, how about we go to the temple to worship tomorrow?"
Zhao Changqing laughed, "This is good too."
Mrs. Xia heard that she was going to burn incense, and she agreed with her hands and feet. She was old and at first glance, the pear blossoms were so scared that she was so scared. Aunt Xia also gestured to her mother, "Oh my God, it's the young man named Lizi, who is very good at talking, and she has a sweet mouth. And his younger brother, Li Guo, has a tall and round face, and is also from Hanlin. I really didn't expect that there was such a sister! Oh my God! What kind of family is this? She is the sister of the niece-in-law. At that time, the girl in her 17 or 18 said she could kill her father, grandfather, and uncle in one breath. Mother, listen, this is the right person
What ordinary people do? I heard that the murderer named Lihua also had a business with his niece-in-law. Later, Lihua killed all his father and uncle, and replaced it with her brother Lizi to manage the business for his niece-in-law. You think, how could this business be bad? Just because of the reputation of the murderer, who dared to compete with his family for his business? Oh my god! I heard that not only slaughtered the people, but also scattered the big pieces! The blood flowed to the streets! Half the street was dyed red! The street was haunted, and at night, three ghosts with incomplete corpses were wandering on the streets. I don’t know how many times they invited the monks to subdue the ghosts. Later, their streets were restored to purity."
Aunt Xia said that she had a nose and eyes, as if she had seen it before. She rolled up her sleeves and showed it to her mother, "Mom, look, as I was talking, my hair stood up."
Old Mrs. Xia is older and more courageous. She believes in these gods and ghosts most. She is already scared and scolds, "Then don't say it."
However, Aunt Xia also said it very vigorously. She was born to be a gossiper. She didn't tell her that she could suffocate her to death. No one loved to listen to her nagging except her mother. So Aunt Xia kept telling ghost stories for most of the night, so that Mrs. Xia had nightmares that night, and she was not very energetic when she went to Xishan Temple the next day.
Zhao Changqing really likes to go to Xishan Temple. The scenery is beautiful, especially outside the hall there is a long-standing Bodhi tree with lush branches and tall ceilings. Under this tree, Zhao Changqing always feels that his heart is clear and peaceful and warm.
Old Mrs. Xia was stingy and was always generous in incense money. She donated ten taels of incense money to talk to the abbot, "In recent days, there have always been something wrong with the family. I don't know why?" She said to the master, "Master, please help my granddaughter-in-law see if it has hit something."
The abbot collected money to eliminate disasters and said, "I wonder which young grandma is it?"
When Mrs. Xia saw that Zhao Changqing did not follow her in, Mrs. Xia hurriedly said, "My wife is in the yard."
The abbot looked out and said, "But the young lady under the Bodhi tree?"
Old Mrs. Xia ordered her maid, "Go and invite the big grandma in." She complained in her heart that Zhao Changqing had no eyesight. Could this incense be burned for others, all for her? Somehow, why is it so unlucky? She is not good at it. Her clan members are murderous demons. The old Xia family has been in trouble for a lifetime and married such a devastating star.
When Mrs. Xia invited her, Zhao Changqing went to the hall. Mrs. Xia was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so she quickly introduced her to Zhao Changqing, "This is Master Abbot, a famous monk."
Zhao Changqing had seen Li and said, "The Bodhi tree in this courtyard is very similar to the Bodhi tree in a temple in my hometown. I stood outside for a while."
The abbot's eyes were soft, and he was a monk's elegance and said in a gentle voice, "The donor is destined to be with this tree."
Old Mrs. Xia hurriedly asked, "Master, when will my granddaughter-in-law be lucky?"
The abbot said in a gentle voice, "There are sign buckets here, which are not as good as the old ladies, wives, grandmas, and girls. If you can sign, I will explain the sign for you."
Everyone often does this job. When they come to the temple, they will be apart from worshiping the Bodhisattva and donating incense and oil to make wishes, and draw lots of things to see the photos.
Mrs. Xia took the lead and maybe she didn't read the calendar today. That was a bad luck. Mrs. Xia, Aunt Xia, and Zhao Lian were all signing, and she wanted to buy it. When Mrs. Xia Yu saw the luck of these three people, she was so tactful that she didn't get fucked. Although Mrs. Xia kept saying that Zhao Changqing was unlucky, compared with their grandparents and grandchildren, Zhao Changqing had the best luck and had to win the lottery. She had two trees on her head, one had withered, and the other had lush branches and leaves. The following was a sign:
Two trees in the forest, one withered and one prospered.
Injustice arises from this, blessings arise from this.
After the 55th century, great light appears.
