On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chen Yibin, who is also the second son of County Magistrate Chen, Chen Erlang, was very happy that he met Jiang Yu and agreed to send home letters for him. Otherwise, how could he have seen such interesting excitement?

After sending a letter home and talking to Mr. Jiang for a while, he went outside and got on the carriage and went back.

Magistrate Chen is still in the Yamen at the moment, so of course he has to visit Mrs. Chen first after returning home.

"Mom, I'm back." Chen Erlang saluted and smiled at her: "I also brought back some dried fish, dried shrimps and a few baskets of hairy crabs. Let's have some fresh food at night."

Mrs. Chen smiled from ear to ear: "You are the only one who is thinking about what mom likes to eat."

Five fingers are all long and short, so it’s no wonder people are partial.

She couldn't even raise her own children, and she wasn't willing to die for such a trivial matter. Later, when she got older, she didn't want to have any more children.

Only then will they take concubines to their husbands and let their aunts give birth to them.

The two sons, one born at the end of the year and the other in February, were within a few months of each other, and they were both raised by her side.

Chen Dalang was born to Aunt Wu. This child was also filial to him, but he was a little pedantic. He did whatever he said.

Aunt Wu was his only son, so she naturally wanted to win over him, get close to him, and let him call her mother in private. Unfortunately, this silly boy would instead advise Aunt Wu to be unruly and unruly.

As for Chen Erlang, he is sweet-tongued and flexible. When he was a child, he would come around to ask for food and fun, and he would tell her whatever he wanted.

He is still a little talkative. He has been asking questions around her since he was a child, and he also likes to listen to her talk.

There has been a fair and lovely child around you since you were a child. When you grow up, you will think about her when you go out. She likes to eat fish, shrimps and crabs. That is also the child's wish. How can you not make her happy?

Chen Erlang smiled brightly: "That's for sure. There are a lot of seafood in Yuhang. It's a pity that it's far away, otherwise my son can send fish and shrimp to his mother from time to time."

"Your eldest brother is about to get married, and it's time for you to talk about marriage." Mrs. Chen said in a gentle tone: "If you have a girl you like outside, just tell your mother and she will ask someone to marry you."

Chen Erlang still shook his head: "I'm at Yuhang Academy and I'm busy studying. How can I have time to visit other people's ladies?"

On the contrary, after he came back, he saw the three pretty sisters in Huichun Hall, but he was not moved. Even if he thought they were interesting, he couldn't marry all three of them, right?

Of course, if he dared to say this, he doubted that his mother would kill him and give him a slap in the face.

When Mrs. Chen heard what he said, she rolled her eyes at him: "Are you busy practicing martial arts? Did someone almost break your leg?"

She also saw Erlang's letter to her husband, saying that he would not be able to come back in time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival because he lost his sense of control and injured his leg while competing with his classmates.

I just regret that today's academies are too complicated. In order to earn the reputation of being a top academy, the gentlemen not only teach the eight-part essay for the imperial examination, but also teach riding and shooting kung fu.

Of course, it has been passed down from ancient times that scholars also need to learn riding and shooting skills in order to exercise their bodies.

After all, the scientific examination is also a physical activity.

But at Yuhang Academy, the gentlemen who teach martial arts are really good at martial arts, so much so that Chen Erlang, who likes to practice martial arts, is almost reluctant to go home.

Chen Erlang chuckled: "I couldn't bear to let my mother feel sorry for her, so I didn't tell you the truth. This time when I come back, my son will definitely accompany my mother to drink, chat and eat crabs."

Mrs. Chen couldn't get angry because her son was so filial. She could only glare at him: "You said that."

Then he asked with concern: "Is your leg really okay?" Without waiting for an answer, he said again: "No, you still have to ask a doctor to take a look."

He said to the woman next to him: "Go and ask the doctor."

"Yes." The mother-in-law asked cautiously, "Madam, which medical center are you calling for?"

In the city, there are Huichun Tang owned by the Jiang family, Tong Ren Tang owned by the Zhou family, and Qing Ren Tang owned by the Liu family. They are all very good, so it’s hard for her to choose?

Mrs. Chen said: "First go and ask the doctor from Qingrentang who specializes in bruises."

She seems to have heard that Huichun Hall is better at treating the illnesses of women’s children.

My son injured his leg, and Qingrentang is more famous for treating bruises and injuries.

Chen Erlang wanted to make her happy, so he talked about the excitement of Huichun Hall.

He didn't want to involve the Xiao sisters, he just said: "I met the young master of Huichun Hall in Yuhang earlier and brought home letters for the father and son. Unexpectedly, I saw two young people fighting at the door of Huichun Hall. "

After describing in detail the previous clash of fists and kicks between the two, he continued: "I didn't expect that the security here is so good. The patrol officers soon took away the two troublemakers."

Then he flattered his own father: "In the final analysis, it is because of my father's duties as the county magistrate that the security here is so good."

Mrs. Chen was extremely regretful that she was not there to watch the excitement. Now, even though her son said it in detail, it still lacked some meaning: "You are just a sweet talker, but it is a pity that your father is not here..."

Then he looked at him and asked, "Did you say earlier that the guards knew one of the young men who was fighting?"

"Yes, I heard the guards call him Mr. He. The one who was arrested seems to be named Wu? Or is it Wu?" Chen Erlang just felt that the guards were not helping his relatives, so he was worried. He was deeply afraid that his father would be killed. He only brought this up because he was being arrogant.

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but smile: "If it's really Wu, then maybe you can continue to watch the fun."

Her son's description was too detailed, and she felt that the other young man who was caught away might be Aunt Wu's natal nephew.

When Chen Erlang heard this, he became curious: "Mom, you mean, one of them has something to do with us?"

After saying that, he denied it: "This is impossible, we don't have any serious relatives here?"

Mrs. Chen thought what he said was so wonderful. She clapped her hands and said, "There are no serious relatives, but there are many irregular relatives."

The two aunts she chose at the beginning were both pretty Xiaojiabiyu, and she had carefully inquired about them. They found that both their family's reputation outside the home and the girl's own reputation were pretty good.

However, the Wu family is not as knowledgeable as the Chen family.

Coincidentally, the maid from outside came in. She bowed and said, "Madam, Aunt Wu wants to see you."

Mrs. Chen also wanted to watch the excitement. No, she was very concerned about the aunt below. She immediately said: "Please come in."

Aunt Wu came in crying: "Madam, do you want to make the decision for my nephew? Inspector Zhao went too far to deceive others and protected his relatives, so he imprisoned my eldest nephew."

It's a pity that she can't get out, her sister-in-law can't get in, and her eldest brother can't see the county magistrate. The sister-in-law also let the mother-in-law at the back door pass the news.

All she can ask for now is a wife.

Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up after hearing this. She regretted that she couldn't go there in person. She could only say: "The matter has not been fully investigated yet, and we cannot arbitrarily convict. Erlang, please take the housekeeper to visit and ask clearly what happened."
