Yutai Bi

Chapter 167
Mama Zhang went back and forth, but this time she called several hot-tongued maids and women from the mansion, and ordered a team of guards to escort her.

This time, I didn't even see Cen Sanniang.Du Xifu stood at the door, and said with a half-hearted smile, "Is the Cui family here to retire?"

Zhang's mother almost fell backwards in anger, she gave her a look, and the people who brought her started cursing around Du Xifu.

Du Xifu sighed and clapped his hands.Behind the screen wall, the guards of the Du family rushed out holding sticks.Du Zhien spat into the palm of his hand excitedly: "Call me!"

Zhang's mother was taken aback, but she didn't expect the Du family to fight directly, she screamed and stepped back, calling the guards for help.

There were only eight guards in that team, and they were beaten up by the guards of Du's family. They didn't have the courage to fight, so they ran away protecting Zhang's mother and others.

I only heard the voice of the head of the Du family from behind: "Your family wants to marry a yin relative, but my family refuses. Your family should sue the officials! The dignified third-rank Jianguohou's mansion instigated the servants to come here and make trouble, don't be ashamed of it!"

He yelled loudly on purpose, which made the idlers watching the fun through the canal in the East City laugh.

Back home, Zhang’s mother cried again, and Master Cui almost vomited blood in anger: “Oh, it’s unreasonable! See the official, see the official! Bring me the court dress!”

The Du family kept saying they wanted to sue for justice, and finally the Cui family beat the big drum at the gate of the Yamen in Chang'an.

The governor of Chang'an is only a fourth-rank official. Seeing Lord Cui coming in person, he sued Du Guogong's mansion for hiding his family's daughter-in-law, and his hands were shaking when he received the lawsuit.Can Chang'an Mansion take care of this matter?
In any case, after receiving the lawsuit, they have to issue a signature and go to Du's house to get someone.Who should I take?The one in the Du family who can decide the marriage is Mrs. Yipin Guogong.

Master Cui was on fire, and sat in the courtroom and asked Fu Yin coldly: "My family has a marriage certificate in hand, and the other party ruined the marriage, should we send the servants to lock up the girl from the Du family?"

How could the governor dare to lock up the Du family, so he called the county lieutenant in front of Master Cui to let him go to the Du family to bring people.

This room, Mrs. Du and Cen Sanniang received the news and changed their orders.

When the county lieutenant saw the two wives in official costumes, his scalp became tense.He went forward and showed the sign, and wanted to take Du Yanwan away.

I heard that he called himself Qiu.Cen Sanniang remembered, and asked someone to call him over, and said with a low laugh, "Does your family live in Yongpingfang? Your elder brother is in Habayashi Guard? Qiu Yuanwai is your father?"

Qiu Xianwei was surprised: "How does Madam know?"

Cen Sanniang whispered: "My second uncle is from the Li family of Shengyefang. I heard that your old man took a fancy to my girl..."

County Captain Qiu remembered, his face flushed red: "Young Madam, that was a misunderstanding!"

Cen Sanniang said with a smile: "Of course it's a misunderstanding. Today the Cui family is going to sue our family, and our family will naturally respond. The lawsuit has not yet been filed, so why does the Cui family say that my sister-in-law is their daughter-in-law? My sister-in-law has not The eldest girl in the pavilion, how can she go to the court to show her face..."

"That's that, that's that." Captain Qiu saw that after she finished speaking, all the guards around were holding their knives. If he insisted on taking Du Yanwan away, he would be kicked out of the house immediately.He thought to himself that as long as someone from the Du family is gone, he will be considered as having a job, so he wiped off his sweat and said, "Old Madam Du and Young Madam can go to the court to respond to the lawsuit."

Cen Sanniang got up and helped the old lady out of the house.He was riding in a Zhubi canopy cart with two horses.He brought all four maids with him, accompanied by Mother Fang and Mother Yin.Another team of guards was ordered to escort.

After the two left, Du Yansui and his sister turned out from the back of the hall.Du Yanwan stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother, do you think only grandma and sister-in-law can handle it?"

Du Yansui laughed and said: "There is a saying that good men don't fight with women. Master Cui is not as noble as his grandmother in terms of status. He can't compare with your sister-in-law in terms of eloquence. It's not good for me to be present."

After Master Cui drank his tea, the county captain finally shouted: "The Du family of the Duke Yipin's mansion brought me here!"

Marquis Cui hurriedly stood up, glanced appreciatively at the Governor of Chang'an, and waited for Du Yanwan to be escorted into the hall.But Shi Shiran stopped at the door, a gorgeous canopy carriage, and the old lady with silver hair and dignified came in surrounded by maids, maids and guards.Angrily, he flicked his sleeves and sat down.

Before I could sit still, I heard a person shouting: "Mrs. Mrs. Cai Guogong, the first rank, has arrived, and the Governor of Chang'an hastened to come to see her!"

The Governor of Chang'an wiped off his sweat and bowed his head deeply: "Your Majesty has seen the old lady, and I will show the old lady a seat."

Cen Sanniang helped the old lady to walk in front of Lord Cui.

Mrs. Du tapped the green brick floor with her cane: "Master Cui."

Master Cui turned around and snorted.

Mrs. Du raised her crutches and hit her. Master Cui was caught off guard and was hit on the shoulder by a crutch.

Mrs. Du took away the crutches and snorted: "Seeing that the elders don't know how to salute, I will teach you a lesson for Mrs. Cui. What's the matter? Not convinced?" She stood still and looked at Master Cui with neither joy nor anger.

Cui Erlang and Cui Sanlang were stunned by this abduction, Chang'an Mansion's Yin heart was in a ball, and he quickly smoothed things over: "Cui and Du Erlang's mansion is here to file a lawsuit today..."

Lord Cui arched his hands, and said through his teeth: "Old Madam Du is well!"

Mrs. Du suddenly had a smile on her face: "I'm weak, didn't I hurt Lord Hou?"

Cui Houye inhaled, his face turned red from holding back, and he wanted to have a seizure.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Du didn't have any more to say, she turned around and walked to the chair on the other side and sat down: "Since the Cui family sued my Du family for breaking the marriage today, the Du family will naturally respond to the lawsuit. Marquis of peace outside, don't yell at the court, or you will be dealt with according to family law!"

"Yes!" The maidservant and guards responded in unison, in unison.

The momentum shook Chang'an Fuyin's mind again, he patted the gavel, swallowed dryly, and tried to be more dignified: "...Open the hall!"

I heard that the Chang'an Mansion opened a court to hear the Jianguohou's mansion v. Du Guogong's mansion, and there was a sea of ​​people outside the yamen, and it was impossible to get through.

Cen Sanniang stood behind the old lady, looked out, she didn't know what she thought of, she lowered her head and suppressed a smile.

Cui's lawsuit was written by Cui Erlang.Cui Jidong is a common son.Eldest brother Cui Mengdong is like an orchid and a jade tree, while younger brother Cui Zhongdong is deeply loved by his aunt.He is caught in the middle, and only by being calm, hardworking, and working hard can he succeed.A very beautifully written article.The lawsuit is also well written.

The Cui family didn't mention the Du family's ruined marriage at all.It is only said that the queen empress Yi decreed the marriage.The two families changed their marriage certificates and passed the engagement ceremony.Unexpectedly, Cui Mengdong drowned and died in Qujiang on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May.There is a mourning hall at home, and the first seven days have not passed.The Du family held on to their daughter-in-law.In front of Cui Mengdong's mourning hall, there was not even a crying spirit in the room.

Word by word accused the Du family of obliterating the three cardinal principles and five constant principles.He also told about Cui Mengdong's tragic situation.Cui Erlang read it with grief and wept silently.

After reading the last sentence, Master Cui's eyes turned red: "Please be the master! Let the Du family return my daughter-in-law to return home, so that my Dalang will not be lonely before his death!"

in the eyes of the uninformed.Someone's son died, and before the first seven days, you dragged your daughter home.It's too much, too much!
The Governor of Chang'an also murmured in his heart, if this is the case, the Du family will really ignore it.If the father-in-law of every household dies, the in-laws will drag the daughter home, which is not a mess.He didn't dare to yell at Mrs. Du, so he just said with a cold face: "The Cui family has read the lawsuit, what does the Du family say?"

"Master Yinfu Yin, my grandmother is old, so let me respond to the lawsuit!" Cen Sanniang stood up and said loudly.

Let me first talk about the engagement of the two families when they were young, and they have never been in contact with each other for more than ten years.Du Yanwan dragged on quickly, kept her promise with the Cui family, and was still not engaged.

I heard someone shouting outside the court: "Didn't the empress give you a marriage?"

Cen Sanniang replied: "Yes, the queen empress keeps her promise, how can she allow her brother to ruin her reputation, so she bestows the marriage. Since the empress came forward, the Du family thought that Cui Mengdong was not yet married, so they agreed. The two families exchanged the marriage certificate on May [-]st. On the fifth day of the fifth month, the Founding Marquis’ Mansion invited my family to watch the Qujiang River. The eldest son of the Cui family had a tryst with a beautiful woman. He never wanted to go boating on the Qujiang River, but the boat capsized. He lost his life. In just four or five days, how could my girl have ever been married? Cui Dalang died because of his love affair, and now he wants my girl to marry a ghost. My family refused. The Cui family sued the court shamelessly. He also kept saying that my family hid his daughter-in-law. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people! My lord, the Cui family is full of nonsense, and I ask you to make decisions for my girl!"

Chang'an Fu Yin understood in his heart after hearing this.The two families changed their marriage certificates because of the queen's gift of marriage, and Cui Dalang left in a few days.The Cui family wants to marry a girl from another family to make a yin relative.This is a girl from the Duke's Mansion, so of course they don't want to.

"My family's Dalang was obviously killed by someone on the Qujiang River, what an accident!" Master Cui said angrily.

Cen Sanniang bowed to the governor and said, "My lord, Cui Mengdong has a romantic nature, and the Du family has someone to prove it! Can you pass it on to the court?"

Fu Yin agreed.

There were two carriages parked outside the court, and upon hearing the call, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and a dozen beauties came down from Pingting.Tall, short, fat and thin, middle-earth beauties, orchids from the Western Regions, you can have everything you expect.

A group of Yingying and Yanyan walked towards the court.

"Oh, isn't that Miss Xiaoyue from Chunmanlou?"

"That's Hua Ji from Juxianlou, the Hu Xuanwu she dances is worth a hundred gold!"

"Cui Dalang's beauty is not shallow!"

The Cui family father and son were dumbfounded.
