Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 408, blessing and separation
When Luzhu's grandfather, Mr. Song, suddenly became seriously ill, Luzhu Hening and Song Han received a letter almost at the same time. Back to new episodes first.

He Feng and his wife had no time to be happy that Brother Ning had finally returned after several years, so they took the young couple to Song's house.

When entering the door of Mrs. Song's room, I heard the father and son talking.

Song Xun said: "Father, give the three big tile-roofed houses and the few cows to the green bamboo."

Everyone froze and stopped.

Mr. Song replied out of breath, "Well, then, that's what I told Brother Han. If Brother Han doesn't win, I'll leave it to him to study. If Brother Han wins, the officialdom may not be easy to stay. Give it to Brother Han and him. The children leave a retreat for farming and studying.”

Song Xun said: "Father, I will give you ten times the money for your house and cattle. When Lu Zhu and Brother Ning come back, you can leave it to Lu Zhu."

"Brother Han is the youngest son, and he became an official."

"Brother Ning will also be an official this year. Brother Ning will not be an official this year, and he will be an official even after he has been dismissed."

He Ning almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard that, Song Han, the old son, was going to retreat behind the green bamboo every mile and mile.

Mrs. Song came from the kitchen, met and said a few words, Song Xun heard Lvzhu Hening came back, the father and son stopped talking, Lvzhu Hening went in to see his grandfather, and asked the doctor what to say, Song Xun said that young and hard work ruined He is healthy and old, and he is planning to worry about his youngest son. The doctor said that if he is well-raised, it will be fine, and if he is not well-raised, it will be the same. The family is already planning for the funeral, and his father is holding out a sigh of relief, just waiting for Song Han to come back.

He Ning stayed there for a few days, and the relatives of the He family knew that Chun Wei was the first one to come back, and they all went to Xinji to see him, and He Ning's cousins ​​chased after him for money.

"It is said that you started a big business in Beijing, and now you are a rich man, so it is not difficult to give money, right?"

He Ning pushed their hands away one by one: "Why?"

"You haven't been back since Zhongchunwei. But the family pays homage to the ancestors every year, and you are No. 1 among brothers. You are not at home, how can you be praised? The elders of the clan came up with a bad idea. We Kowtow, the elders shouted at the side, Brother Ning paid homage to the ancestors, Brother Ning gave money to the ancestors, "

He Ning couldn't help laughing.

The cousins ​​spread their hands together again: "If it weren't for the distance from the capital, we would have been so angry that we would have gone looking for you a long time ago. Why do we kowtow, but call your name to worship the ancestors, okay, after a sacrifice , I heard your name yelling all over the place. The elders were in good spirits that day, and they yelled for us a few times. If the spirit is not good, the ancestors thought we didn’t worship. Give money, give money.”

"Don't gossip with him, give money, give money."

He Ning honestly gave the money, and his heart was at peace.

Those who dared to fail were ridiculed by their sisters in Beijing, but they turned out to be very prosperous at home. The He family failed to be a scholar in the fall last year, and there were not a few in Xinji School. It is said that the old master Yuan was not at home, so Brother Ning Chun Wei is number one, no one has been able to fight in recent years.

He came home and told Lu Zhu that Mr. Song was seriously ill, and Lu Zhu couldn't laugh, so he barely listened to it.

That night, old man Song fainted again, and the whole family was ready to wear hemp, but the old man survived abruptly, knowing that he was waiting for Song Han, and everyone was looking forward to Song Han's return.

As soon as Song Han entered the house, someone led him: "Hurry up, it's too late to talk." Song Han ran to his father's bed while crying. When Mr. Song saw him, he was so happy that he fainted again. In the past, after shouting a few times, he woke up again and started talking to Song Han in good spirits.

Song Xun mingled with it: "Father, brother Han is back, the house and the cow can be left to the green bamboo."

No one said that Song Xun was making trouble. There is a saying here that in the yang world, if something is not completed, a person will not die, and he will die only after the matter is completed.

Mrs. Song resolutely refused: "I gave you my home, and I have Brother Han again. I made an agreement with you a long time ago. From now on, all my earnings will be Brother Han's."

Song Xun didn't budge either: "But Luzhu has a big family business in Beijing, and none of the ancestors can."

"Go away, don't argue with your brother."

"Father, I will give you a lot of money. Sister Xiu Yanyan and Luzhu have a big business in Beijing. They have been rich with their family in the past few years. I will give you a lot of money. The old man has a little thought and keeps it To the green bamboo. Brother Ning Chunxi is tenth, and he will be an official."

Song Xun stiffened his neck and refused to let go.

Mrs. Song came over: "There is a beggar at the door who wants to see Brother Han, and he said he came all the way from Brother Han."

Mr. Song pushed his youngest son: "Go quickly, you must be an official, and you have to find here if you have wronged things. The common people are in trouble, you go to see him quickly."

Song Han came out, wondering to himself, he was afraid that his father would not be able to make it through, he wanted Ding You, and he had already made it clear to the adults in the province that the yamen at Sandaokou would send another person to take up the post, and this would give him more time, so he would You can calmly finish your work at home, and then go back to the official department to sit on the bench and wait for the official post again.

Who will come here?
When he saw someone, Song Han lost his voice: "Mr. Rong, have you encountered a bully again? When I went to the province to ask for leave, I specially asked the adult who will take over to take care of you. How did you come here as a woman after such a long journey. "

Mrs. Rong was wearing tattered clothes, so she couldn't blame Mrs. Song for calling her a beggar.

She cried and knelt down: "Master, you are not in that city anymore, I dare not stay any longer. Me, I actually have no strength, and I really don't dare to use a knife to find someone to do."

Song Han received a letter saying that his father was seriously ill. If he could ask for leave, he could ask for it. If he could not, his eldest brother Song Xun had already written to He Ning, asking him to ask sister Xiu and her son-in-law to ask Song Han to come back after paying his official duties. This is the old son, daddy Hanging in one breath just waiting to come back.

Changing Song Han's anxious expression, the people in the yamen will inevitably ask, and they all know.The news spread in the city, Rong Shi couldn't believe it when he received the news, until Song Han got a reply from the province to allow him to go home, Song Han went to the province to pay the official seal, Rong knew that Master Xiao Song was really going to leave, within a few days She had already packed her belongings, Song Han left the city for the province, and the Rong family fled to Xinji.

The advantages of dressing up as a beggar are firstly to hide your appearance, and secondly, it is more convenient to walk than single women.

The Rong family went on the road first, and went to Xinji with Song Chao one after the other.

Rong cried: "My lord, your old lady is seriously ill. I have been favored by you for the past few years, and I want to come and kowtow. Besides, my lord, you are not in that city. I am afraid of the dealer's revenge. He has a lot of family members. money."

Song Han brought her in, asked his mother to change clothes for her, and went back to Mrs. Song himself. Mrs. Song said happily, "Saving people is a good thing. When I go to that world, I will see your great blessings. I can go with peace of mind."

He proposed to see Mrs. Rong, and Mrs. Rong begged Mrs. Song to kowtow before the hospital bed.

Mrs. Song brought her in, and Mrs. Rong said a word of blessing. Seeing that she was in better spirits, Mrs. Song asked his wife to make a room for Mrs. Lvzhu to take Mrs. Rong to eat and rest.

He pondered, and said: "Second Grandma Yuan, someone from the Qi family is invited, and the in-laws are also invited."

There is no need to invite the elders of the clan, they are staying at the Xinji Inn these days, and when Song Han comes back, Mr. Song will return to the west immediately, so that the whole clan can mourn.Mr. Song can still hold on. Song Han is going to get married in the next two days, so he can have a wedding wine for his father.

When people went to each house, they frightened Mrs. Zhen out of their wits, thinking that Mr. Song was going to die, but when they came, they saw Mr. Song's face glowing red.

"Hehe, there is such a thing. This is a good thing that Brother Han did. The widow was found by thousands of people. I wanted to settle her down. But she is very beautiful, and she came here for Brother Han I'm afraid that there will be gossip. So please come and talk, let's send the Buddha to the west, and find an honest husband for Mrs. Rong to settle down in Xinji, how do you all look?" Speaking of which, let Mrs. Rong come out to let everyone see, Everyone who saw it was surprised, thinking that Mr. Song was thoughtful and that Mrs. Rong was beautiful. If she didn't marry her quickly, it would be no surprise to bring gossip to Song Han.

That night, Mrs. Zhen took Mrs. Rong home to stay, and each family took stock of the widowed families, and picked a good one for Mrs. Rong the next day. It was a man from the Qi family. He has no children, and now he runs business for Qi Dong to help Yanyan buy goods, and he earns steadily every day.

In terms of temperament, he is an honest person.

Mr. Song recognized Rong as his goddaughter, who was a generation higher than Luzhu, and married Song Han on the same day.

After such busy work, a few days have passed, Mr. Song is still in good spirits, Song Xun looked strange, and asked He Ning behind his back: "Do you think your grandfather looks like a shining light?"

He Ning said: "Father-in-law, do you think whose family has returned to the light for so long? Please ask the doctor to come and see, I am afraid that grandfather will survive this test."

Song Xun wondered: "When you don't come back, it seems that you will die."

"Father-in-law, you have done a good deed. This is a blessing that will come immediately."

Song Xun thought it made sense, and immediately asked the doctor to come and see it again. The doctors in Xinji didn't dare to say anything, they only said that a good spirit is a good thing. Song Xun invited a doctor to Sanbao County, but the doctor couldn't say anything.

A few days later, Mr. Song sat up firmly, and the next day, with Song Han's support, he went down to the ground and walked a few steps. The whole Song family was overjoyed.

Song Xun continued to ask for property for the green bamboo every day, and he never left it.

The shopkeeper Zheng appeared outside the house, and Zheng Ding was greatly frightened: "There is something wrong with the business in the south, and you are back so early?"

Shopkeeper Zheng put down his luggage: "This is not staying in the root."

Zheng Dingshi smiled again, Chunwei of this subject, Zheng Liugen was selected, according to the number of days, the palace examination will be held in a few days, and he has to walk into the palace dignifiedly and stroll around according to his own ability.

Shopkeeper Zheng said that the clan was going to celebrate, and Zheng Ding and he came to the Zheng family, and the clan had a feast of wine, and Fang and Zheng Changgen also came.In the past few years, we have been seeing each other during the Chinese New Year. Zheng Ding and Fang said goodbye in public. Fang was more humble than when we met during the Chinese New Year, while Zheng Changgen was more silent.

Stocking the stores in Jingli has expanded to large and small markets in Xinji with a radius of hundreds of miles. Mrs. Zhen received a lot of gossip, and one day she specially invited Mrs. Zheng Ding to come over to talk. After a year of bad school, he is now drinking heavily and gambling. Fang often sits in front of the store and cries, saying that his son robbed him of the money.

Knowing that Zheng Ding couldn't control the couple, Zhen asked Zheng Ding to be careful not to let the reputation of Changgen affect Liugen.

Zheng Dingshi thought, he didn't have such an opportunity to speak face to face before, should he quietly talk to the patriarch later and ask him to restrain Changgen.She didn't tell shopkeeper Zheng either, as if she was watching a joke.

Zheng Ding is still annoyed by Fang's mother and son, otherwise, she is considered Changgen's mother, and she should take the initiative to speak out and let Zheng's shopkeeper take care of Zheng Changgen.

As she was thinking about it, she saw the shopkeeper Zheng leaving his seat, bowing to the patriarch and several elders, tears streaming down: "Thanks to the ancestors, I left the first department and passed Qiuwei, and now I am in the second department." As for Zhongchunwei, he is only 12 years old, and he is too young to be an official if he passes the imperial examination, I will burn paper for my ancestors, and bless him to keep his roots and pass the examination."

The elders are right.

Zheng Dingshi is strange and reasonable, but why are you crying?
Shopkeeper Zheng said: "I'm begging the old ladies, let's do it. Do it early and save worry, otherwise you will delay staying in the family and become an official, and the ancestors will blame you."

The elders said yes and nodded to the patriarch.

The head of the patriarch called Chang Gen to come to him, with a serious face: "Your father is now suing you for disobedience, and wants to divide the family property with you. From then on, you will live alone."

Zheng Ding and Fang's mother and son were shocked together.

Fang cried out, "Is this kicking out the clan? You can't force us to death."

Shopkeeper Zheng cried: "Then I can't wait for Chang Gen to kill me. When Liu Gen was studying, I told Chang Gen that although you are a few years older, you should put down your business and go to school. Chang Gen refused. At that time, your mother and son went to Xinji to make trouble. Liu Gen was left to study by the Beijing government school, Chang Gen, you learned to eat wine and gamble, and said every day that you would not have your share of this property, so you might as well spend it all now."

Fang cried and couldn't speak.

Shopkeeper Zheng wiped his tears: "I have never mentioned the separation, just thinking that you can change for the better. This year, I couldn't bear it anymore. I was admitted to Chunwei, and then I will become an official. There is an elder brother who eats wine and gambles. , how can there be an official voice? And if you get the root, you don’t know how much money you have to spend on the long root, so let’s take your share, and you will bet on it in the future, it’s your share.”

Chang Gen trembling lips: "Father, you really don't want me anymore?"

"I didn't want you. The houses and shops you live in now are still living in this way, and I will share them with you. During the Chinese New Year, you still have to walk with Liu Genniang, and you also come here. I often live in the south now, waiting for my old age. I can’t run, I’m living in Xinji, and I’ll come to see you as usual. Everything is the same as before, the only difference is that I will sue you for disobedience, and I will sever the father-son relationship with you. In the future, if you commit crimes or have a bad reputation, it doesn’t matter. It will affect the roots."

The patriarch and the elders knew through letters that Zheng Changgen's objection was useless, so they wrote a document on the same day, distributing the ancestral property of the Zheng family to Zheng Changgen, and writing a letter of divorce to Fang's, and she lived with Changgen.

In the past two years, Xinji's family property has far surpassed that of his ancestral property. Zheng Ding has kept it for Zheng Liugen, and Ding, who has been stealing Zheng Liugen's family property in the name of sister Hui, is very relieved. When he feels sorry, Zheng Ding generously Another 1000 taels were given to Zheng Changgen.

Shopkeeper Zheng's Huixinji didn't stay for two days before leaving for the south again.Zheng Ding sent him off: "You have been staying in the south for a year. You can't do without a sewing person around you. Look at the honest man, you can take another room."

Shopkeeper Zheng waved his hand: "Don't say such things. If you stay rooted, you will become an official. If you are a father's left and right house, it will be very difficult to stay rooted."

Zheng Ding watched his car go to the official road, and thought, reading is really good, if you keep this book, you can keep your family property and control his father.

　Song Jiang is like this, he is in the public house, but he likes to make friends with people from all walks of life, fearing that his family will be hurt, Father Song sues his son for disobedience.
