Go back to the Admiral's youth through the book

Chapter 7 (7) Suffering

He thought that he was the only one in the crowd, but suddenly there was a little lady, and he seemed not so lonely anymore.

Although the little lady's physical foundation was severely depleted, and she was given dumb drugs, but with his medical skills, it's not impossible to save her, and she has to be that kind of ghost wife...

Ji Chen drooped his eyes, suppressing the warmth from the bottom of his eyes.

Casting her gaze on Third Aunt Xia, ink clouds welled up in her eyes.

About 20 years ago, his father, Jihanshan, made great achievements, and the Bofu, where he lived behind him, became the famous Qinghehoufu.

But his father was extremely embarrassing as a concubine. This was the great honor of Guangzong Yaozu, but because his status as a concubine threatened the status of the direct line, he was repeatedly squeezed out.

In the same year, on the way back to victory in the army, his father was betrayed by his followers, and he narrowly escaped death.Because of this, his mother suffered from dystocia, gave birth before full term, and unfortunately died, but he survived by luck.

The concubine bribed the well-known master Yunzhi, saying that he was the fate of the lone star of Tiansha, punishing his six relatives, and the Hou family regarded him as ominous.

This act justified the heart of the concubine's wife, the war is over, so where is the need for the concubine to shed his blood?

It is enough to leave the merits alone for the descendants to enjoy!

His father abandoned all his glory and took him, who was still in his infancy, to live in seclusion in the mountains. By chance, he became friends with Xia Laosi, who was Xia Ou's father.

Because of this, the two families had a close relationship. Sangu Xia looked down on the farmer because of her arrogance, so she hooked up with the rich man in the city.

The Xia family saw that although Ji Hanshan lived in the mountains for a while, he was definitely not a farmer, he was probably the son of a wealthy family, and if he married into an in-law family, he would surely enjoy inexhaustible wealth in the future.

So, under the trend of greed, the Xia family took advantage of Ji Hanshan's drunkenness once, and drugged him.

Because of the tiger wolf medicine, Ji Hanshan's unrecovered body had a high fever, and he couldn't remember what happened when he woke up again.

Sangu Xia "has lost her reputation" and cried that she would take good care of Xiao Jicheng.

Ji Hanshan is a man who stands upright, he can't do things that start chaotically and end up abandoning them, so he has to admit it.

Immediately, he pawned the jade pendant on his body and exchanged it for 300 taels of silver. This was wealth that the peasant household had never seen before. He bought fertile land and built a new house, becoming the wealthiest household in Juren Village.

Later, Ji Cheng grew up slowly. Although he was frail and sick, he was still a young talent. When he was 15 years old, he passed away and won the first place in the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination. He became the envy of everyone.

However, the happiness also came to an abrupt end. In the same year when Ji Chen entered the government school, Ji Hanshan, the head of the family, died suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Third Aunt Xia hooked up with the benefactor before marriage again, that is, the brother-in-law from Kochi County.

Not only did she abandon her step-son Jicheng, but she also spent all her family wealth and remarried in the heat of filial piety.

Ji's family is an outsider in the village, so the neighbors naturally wouldn't speak for him, and they even helped Sangu Xia to ruin Ji Cheng's reputation with a small favor.

For a time, he, the young scholar whom everyone envied, also became a disaster star that everyone hated and avoided.

I remember that in the big dream, after the expiration of his filial piety, he met a hooligan on the street.

Under Ji Hanshan's teaching, even though he is weak, he can practice well.

Even though the ruffian bullied the few, he still couldn't get out of the whole body, but he hurt his hand because of this, and the bone in his hand was cracked and he couldn't hold the pen anymore.

A scholar who can't lift a pen is like a general with a broken leg and a beauty who is old.

His world had completely collapsed, and he could no longer see a glimmer of light in front of him.

One night by accident, he bought wine and meat to worship his father.

It was found that the grave was opened by a wild boar.

The thin coffin has decayed, exposing the bones inside.

He restrained his bones with tears in his eyes, but discovered an astonishing thing.

My father's spine was blackened, and there were three blackened silver needles, one inserted from the skull and two inserted from the foot bones.

When he thought of his father's sudden death and his stepmother Rexiao's remarriage, he became suspicious of the Jin family.

So, he stayed at Jin's house every night, eavesdropping on all the secrets that could be eavesdropped.

It turned out that before she married Ji Hanshan, Sangu Xia had already married the squire Jin Da, and even had a son.

That Young Master Jin... Jin Zikun is the son of Third Aunt Xia!

It's just that the Jin family looked down on a country girl back then, and after leaving behind their son, they drove away their biological mother, Third Aunt Xia.

After Jin Da squire inherited the family business, his heirs were few, and he held Jin Zikun in his palm like a pearl and a treasure.

Later, Jin Zikun learned that his biological mother was still alive, so he arranged for Aunt Xia to remarry to the Jin Mansion.

No wonder Xia Sangu had always been indifferent to Ji Cheng since she was a child, and only when her father was around would she cherish herself.

Hehe, their family enjoyed themselves happily, but they forgot their father who had been buried in the ground for a long time.

Just as he was plotting revenge, the Qinghe Hou Mansion secretly colluded with the Jin family and Xia Sangu to bury him alive.

Accidentally discovered by human traffickers who passed by, dug him out, saw that he had a good appearance, sold him into the palace at a high price after many twists and turns, and became a mutilated eunuch...

All his sufferings come from his stepmother!
"Cheng'er, are you still blaming your mother? Mother has no choice but to make a living!" Third Aunt Xia looked at her son affectionately, sobbing.

The son she raised knows that he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and once he is classified as one of his own, his heart will soften.

"Mrs. Jin remarried with filial piety at the time. Was it because she had no food to eat, or was she poorly clothed, or was her natal family forcing her?"

Not only did Ji Cheng not soften his heart, he was also completely irritated by her acting style.

With monstrous hatred overflowing from the bottom of his eyes, he continued to question coldly.

"Everyone in the world knows that before marriage, obey the father, when married, obey the husband, and when the husband dies, obey the son.

Even for widowed women, remarriage is regarded as 'dishonest'.

Well, you are young and beautiful, and you don't want to be alone, I understand.

But widows also have their own set of rules when they get married.

Widows who have lost their husbands need to get married through the back door.

If a widow who has given birth remarries, she must live in the mountains and forests designated by her husband's family for 49 days, and then she can officially remarry after the period expires.

When the new husband's family comes to pick up the bride, they will use red silk ropes to tie around the widow's body to welcome the bride, so as to drive away bad luck.

But Mrs. Jin remarried with a huge sum of money during her filial piety, so how should she explain it? "

Xia Ou saw that the admiral was not driven by anger, and his words were well-founded.

He breathed out heavily, and raised his frown.

She, a little mute, can't help much, she just hopes that he can fight the crowd with his tongue and win the battle.

Third Aunt Xia couldn't help feeling a little dazed when she saw that her stepson, who had respected her at the beginning, suddenly ran out everywhere.

It was too much for her to remarry at the beginning, but Ji Cheng didn't make it difficult for herself even though she didn't want to, and didn't even say anything when she saw her remarry with all her family property.

Even though he knew that the Xia family intended to slander his reputation, he didn't fight back at all because he cared about his stepmother.

Why do you suddenly hate yourself now?

What is he going to do to her?
What is she afraid of, she is a stepmother, an elder!

According to the rules, a regular wife can only be divorced if she commits seven crimes, and even if she commits seven crimes, she cannot divorce her if she fails to go three times, let alone be reduced to a concubine...

　Note:

　　Three not to go is also called "three not to go".

　　"Book of Rites: Ben Ming": "Women have three things not to go: do not go if they are married but have no home to return to (no natal family to return to); do not go if they have been mourned for three years (those who have kept filial piety for their parents-in-law for three years); If you were poor before and then rich, don’t go.”

　　In the article, when Sangu Xia married Jihanshan, it was when he left the house and was in despair. Later, he became a jade pendant, bought a property, and his life became better. Therefore, Sangu Xia is the third article. , do not go.

　　It is her greatest reliance.

　　"Tang Law Discussion·Household Marriage" stipulates: "There are three people who do not go out but come out, and the stick is one hundred, and the chase is returned.

　　Those who suffer from serious diseases and adulterers do not need to follow this law. "Ming and Qing laws also have similar regulations. For those who have one of the "three not to leave" conditions, even if the wife has "seven outs", the husband is not allowed to give up.
