Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 53

Weird knowledge has to be taught, so there is not much time left for Zhen Bang and the others to make plans.

However, this made the children hurry up to practice. Every time it was time for the abacus, the tense atmosphere enveloped the whole school. Everyone's speed improved by leaps and bounds. s level.

What is the reason for this, Fan Zheng didn't want to understand.

It's a good thing anyway.

Tie Xiaozhuang looked at his fingers over and over again, they were not as thick as radish (radish), why couldn't they keep up with everyone's speed?
Frustrated.

Fan Zheng patted Tie Xiaozhuang's shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, you're still young, when you grow up..."

Tie Xiaozhuang's eyes were filled with anticipation: "Then we can keep up?"

Fan Zheng interjected: "No, it's worse."

Fang Xue roared with laughter, and Tie Xiaozhuang lay helplessly on the table, feeling hopeless.

Everyone can do it, but he can't, full of the feeling of being abandoned by the world.

"There are countless roads in the world. If you don't have talent for this one, you can try the other ones. It doesn't matter if you hit your head badly. Anyway, you are young." Fan Zheng said seriously. "Mr. Li Zhengyi, he is rich in learning, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and archery. Why don't you learn from him? Maybe your future lies with him?"

"This is not just for Tie Xiaozhuang. Teaching you abacus is to pave the way for you to make a living, but it should never restrict you from developing in other directions. On the contrary, the more you are capable, the better I will be in the future." The more you get rich, maybe Fangzheng's wealth depends on you?"

"When Fangzheng is so old that he's on crutches, and you come to see Fangzheng with bacon, I won't be able to smile with my toothless mouth?"

The students laughed, and even Wu Sang showed a bright smile.

Bacon is a half-truth, half-false, true or false joke, Shu Xiu understands it.

Li Zhengyi, who entered the workshop, crossed his hands and saluted Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng's knowledge was relatively simple, and Li Zhengyi was still arrogant at first, so he didn't think much of Fan Zheng.

Hey, this is bookishness.

But what Fan Zheng said just now made Li Zhengyi have to obey.

What is mind, what is pattern!

Li Zhengyi had to admit that seeing his students imitate others' skills was somewhat irritating.

If you're not a gentleman, you don't have any selfish distractions, at most you can control it.

……

In September, the sky is high and the clouds are light.

The Kuliu family who was suffering all over the body finally passed away, and Ku Zhenzhen wanted to cry but had no tears.

Ku Zhenzhen herself has no money, no energy, and no one in the family who makes up her mind, so she can't arrange funerals at all.

The men and women who were temporarily idle in the workshop were summoned by Fan Zheng and came to help, decorate the mourning hall, wash the body, change the shroud, put in the coffin, prepare meals, and arrange it in an orderly manner.

Hosting a banquet is a must, nothing more than advance money in the workshop.

People follow the ceremony, have to eat, right?
Help, can't let people go back to eat and come back again?

Whether he is worthy of being an upright person can be seen in these small things.

If you can't even handle the funeral, this Fangzheng's organization is too poor and the prestige is not enough, it's better to resign as soon as possible, don't harm others or yourself.

Because Ku Zhenzhen's family didn't have any spare money, the coffin could only be riveted with a few thin skin boards from Fan's woodware workshop.

It is impossible to give away for nothing, and there is absolutely no reason to give away the coffin—unless it is a life-and-death enemy.

Fan Zheng asked Ku Zhenzhen what he meant, and bought the coffin with an advance payment from the Xiangfang.

It is impossible to give away for free, and the cost price can still be negotiated.

Fan Laoshi looked up at Fan Zheng, laughed and cursed "excessive kindness", and lowered his head to plan the wood.

Yuan Luan took the money for the coffin, and counted two hundred coins backhand to Fan Zheng.

"This is the incense money from the family."

The people in Chang'an City don't know the rules of the ceremony, but the rules of Dunhuafang are within [-] Wen, the price of a bucket of rice.

If you think about the strength money that a strong man usually spends from twelve to fifteen coins a day, you will know that this amount is not low.

Yuan Luan meant that the money to buy the coffin should not be less, but you can pay more with the gift.

Buying and selling belong to buying and selling, and favors belong to favors, which should not be confused.

In terms of human relationships, Fan Laoshi and his wife still did a good job, otherwise Fan Zheng wouldn't be so sensible, wouldn't he?

Ku Zhenzhen was dressed in filial piety and knelt on the futon, looking more and more pitiful, making her heart itch.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes: If you want to be pretty, you should be filial.

Fan Zheng opened his mouth intentionally or unintentionally: "Don't harm others. It is clearly written in the "Law of Zhenguan" that if parents and husbands die and marry, they will only be married for three years. The filial piety period is 27 months. No talking about marriage or drinking alcohol is allowed." Have fun, understand?"

The voice was not loud, but it happened that Tie Dazhuang and Ku Zhenzhen could hear clearly.

This is not only for Tie Dazhuang, but also for Ku Zhenzhen.

The punishment of the law is still a trivial matter. If you really commit this crime, the sneering words and sharp words of neighbors in the neighborhood can kill people.

Even if you can move to another place, this bad reputation can last a lifetime and cannot be washed away.

This is also one of Fangzheng's obligations, to warn the people in advance not to break the law.

But in this world, there are always some people who don't cry when they see the coffin, always thinking that the unlucky person must not be me.

Otherwise, Datang's prison would have been empty long ago.

The time for keeping filial piety in the Tang Dynasty generally followed the Confucian rules, 27 months, you can count as three years.

The law supports remarriage and remarriage, but that is after the 27-month filial piety period, and the rules that should be observed during this period must be observed.

Of course, those who are willing to keep their chastity like Mrs. Fan must not force it.

Generally speaking, in terms of marriage system, the Tang Dynasty is quite humane.

Ku Zhenzhen's ex-husband, Lexi, has already gone out to do errands.

Perhaps, the broken home made him want to escape from this sad place.

Unexpectedly, the Lelin family entrusted someone with a gift of one hundred wen.

With the rigid relationship between the two families, it is not bad for Le Lin's to follow with twenty coins, even if he does not follow with a penny, it is justified.

There are burial places in the square, and there are more than enough.

After all, this Chang'an city, even when it was called Daxing City, was only about fifty years old, so it was considered a young capital city.

Therefore, the proportion of the aborigines in the real Dunhuafang for more than three generations is extremely low, and the population who moved in later accounted for the majority.

Therefore, there are not many cemeteries in Dunhuafang.

Although it is true that Kuliu's family was buried lightly, it is rare for a gossip woman in the workshop not to chew Ku Zhenzhen's tongue.

You know, even the tough Mrs. Fan was arranged by someone, even after being beaten and losing two teeth, she still chewed her tongue.

Not to mention Ku Zhenzhen, because there is really nothing to arrange. Who can say otherwise?
Ku Zhenzhen has been married to Lexi for ten years, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she sold herself to save her mother.

Perhaps you can say that Ku Zhenzhen owes Lexi, but you cannot say that she owes Ku Liu.

Without her efforts, the Kuliu family might have been buried ten years ago.

Three days later, Ku Zhenzhen changed her filial piety clothes, tied black cloth strips on her arms, and resumed work in Xiangfang.

Keeping filial piety is not about letting people sit at home, otherwise the poor who have no food for the night will starve to death?
(Responding to the question that the classical Chinese part is mostly in the beginning, the original intention of this book is to write some short stories of the Tang Dynasty based on "Tang Laws and Discussions". Won't give up, it's fun after all.)
