from widow to dame

Chapter 121

Would Xie Feng agree to divorce so easily?The answer is: of course not.

The law of Darui stipulates that "reconciliation" must be agreed by both husband and wife, and each must present the reconciliation document, otherwise it will be invalid. In Xie Feng's view, this time it was all Qi Meimei's unreasonable troubles and petty temper. Once had such a warm affection for themselves, how could they say that they would reconcile and leave, and just after their daughter was born?

Xie Feng couldn't understand it.After Qi Meimei left, Mother Xie cursed for a long time, saying that she had never seen such a daughter-in-law before, she was unfilial, unvirtuous, and only gave birth to junk, what use was she?It's better to go!However, her abuse only lasted until that night. When Qi Meimei left, she really carried out Su Huiniang's proposition, basically taking away everything in the family, so suddenly, Mother Xie found out that she had been serving her All the maids in the house disappeared, and no one even cooked three meals. They went to ask their son for money, but they got nothing.Xie's mother became flustered all of a sudden, instead of saying Qi Meimei was bad, she kept urging Xie Feng to go to his mother-in-law's natal house to bring back Qi Meimei, who was "being awkward".Xie Feng obediently went, however, he was blocked for seven days, but was told that Qi Meimei had gone to another place to cultivate and was not at home.This pissed him off, and he made up his mind in his heart that when Qi Meimei came back, he insisted on showing her something.

And at the same time, gossip about Xie's family began to spread among the neighbors, what about the arrogant concubine who forced his wife away, what about Xie Xiucai's ungrateful eating, what about the greedy mother-in-law who wanted to force her daughter-in-law to take out her family property, One thing, all of them said it in a certain way, as if it happened in front of their eyes.It's not because the people's imagination is too rich. In fact, these words have their origins. First of all, when Qi Meimei got married, she said that getting married was actually the same as "recruiting a son-in-law". Thanks to Xie Feng, secondly, Xie Feng took a beautiful concubine when his wife was pregnant, and this beautiful concubine was arrogant and domineering, not only dared to take the mistress's dowry privately, but also caused the mistress to give birth prematurely and almost died, Even if such a vixen was killed on the spot, it would be cheap for her, but she is still fine until now, oh, I heard that on the third day after the mistress returned to her mother's house, she was diagnosed by the doctor as pregnant.Doesn't this explain anything?Finally, Xie Xiucai's mother, good guy, when the neighbors mention Xie's mother, they will really give a bad mouthful. They are vicious, tricky, and stingy. They have been in this alley for less than half a year, and basically they all follow her. The old neighbors here have done it all over the place. The so-called wall is pushed down by everyone. In the past, everyone saw that Qi Meimei could maintain a little bit of face, but now they don't care. Whenever Xie Feng goes out, he will feel that there are countless people. Pointing and winking at him, this made Xie Feng, who had always regarded himself as a literati and decided to pursue an official career in the future, bear it, so he had to close the door of his house, moaning bitterly all day long, and cursing Qi Meimei for being ignorant.

If there is anyone who is sincerely happy with the reconciliation of the husband and wife, it is none other than Mrs. Hu.

"Sir, are you still studying hard? Let's take a break and have a bowl of lotus seed porridge cooked by my concubine."

Xie Feng put down the scroll in his hand, and glanced at Hu Shi standing in front of him, and saw that she was wearing a plain long dress, standing there softly, looking at him with love and admiration, he couldn't help but pull her hand. Hand said: "Ayao, I only know now who is the one who really treats me well."

"Mister!" Hu exhorted, leaning delicately into Xie Feng's arms without doubt, his brother wept, "It's all Ayao's fault, she doesn't have a good background, so she can't help Xianggong like mistress."

"Don't mention that woman again!" Xie Feng's complexion changed, and he roared angrily, "It's because of her that I'm now a laughing stock!"

Mrs. Hu secretly pursed her lips into a smile, her voice became softer, her small white hand slowly stroked Xie Feng's chest, and said in a warm voice: "Why should Mr. Qi be so angry? What Mrs. Qi did was nothing more than relying on some money from the family. Forget it, she is a scholar, farmer, businessman, she is just from the lowest businessman's background, it is enough for my husband to marry her, but that Qi family is still a reckless person, so he ignores his husband's face and let the concubine look at her Yes, it really hurts."

When Xie Feng heard this, he immediately felt that what Hu said was in his heart. Ever since he took Qi Meimei, those colleagues and classmates had to make fun of it every time they met. After a long time, Xie Feng How can I feel better?So without knowing it, he put this secret "resentment" on Qi Meimei. Whenever his mother made things difficult for his wife, not only would he not feel distressed and guilty, but he would feel the pleasure of overwhelming her.

"...And Mr. Hu is such a great talent." Hu raised his head, his wonderful eyes were full of admiration for her husband: "This year's Qiu Wei will definitely be able to win, and when the time comes, he will have fame, and those people are talking nonsense. Naturally, people will keep their mouths shut."

"Yao'er's words are very true!" Xie Feng's eyes really brightened when he heard this, he has always been quite conceited about his own talents, in his eyes he failed twice in a row, but it was just bad luck, this time, Definitely pass the exam.

"It's really worthy of being my flower of interpretation!" Xie Feng smiled suavely: "I don't know how much better than that tigress!"

"Master..."

"Miss..."

Not to mention how quickly and passionately this pair of men and women became entangled together, just to say, at this time Su Huiniang, it was late at night, and the husband and wife were lying on the bed chatting.

"...I asked Meimei to go to our hot spring village..." Su Huiniang said softly, "The air there is nice and quiet, and it's a good place for self-cultivation."

"Well, let her stay there until the end of Qiu Wei and come back!" Yan Hongzhen yawned lazily: "Everything will be taken care of by then."

Su Huiniang didn't ask him what he wanted to cook, but just nodded slightly.

Zhao Honglu was one of Xie Feng's few friends in the capital, Xie Feng was really moved by how the other party treated him as before when he was in such a precarious situation.

"Why don't a man have a wife!" The two of them were drunk, and they both looked red-faced: "Then, that woman wants to make up, and it's not so cheap!" Zhao Hongzhen shook his arms and smiled. With an arrogant face: "A mere bitch, we are the only ones to divorce, and if you want to reconcile, reconcile, that is a dream!"

"Brother Zhao is right!" Xie Feng finally found his bosom friend: "That bitch just ignores me because of his family connection with Mrs. Wu Jinbo, it's really hateful!"

"The power is overwhelming. Xie Xie and Uncle Wu Jin are the confidantes of the current emperor. They cannot be dealt with by people like you and me who have not achieved fame. You must not confront them head-on!"

Xie Feng didn't know this, he snorted heavily with a gloomy face.

"Just wait for my title on the gold list this time, and see who else dares to underestimate me!"

"Brother Xie is right!" Zhao Humer laughed, and then took out a 100 tael silver note from his cuff and handed it to him: "Hold these little money buddies first, everything will only be discussed after Qiu Wei!"

Xie Feng was very touched when he saw the bank notes. Since Qi Meimei left, there was no money at home. During this time, he was relying on Hu's pawnshop to sell some jewelry. For Xie Feng, who was used to lavish spending , tantamount to a torture.

Don't gossip, two months passed in the blink of an eye, this Xie Feng no longer went to Qi Fang or the shop to find a wife, he only devoted himself to preparing for the exam at home, and that Zhao humerus donated his money several times, two People are even more inseparable, and they are almost bosom friends.

In this way, the time came to the day of Qiu Wei.

Early in the morning, Xie Feng got up, Xie's mother, Hu Shi and Xie Feng's sister, the three of them also got up early. , especially when Hu was worried about this and that, Xie Feng smiled and said: "Brother Zhao has already taken care of everything I need for the exam, Yao'er doesn't have to worry."

Hu glanced at the extremely delicate bamboo box next to her husband, and couldn't help saying with a little surprise: "This is the champion box sold by Babaozhai. I heard that it not only contains pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but also raincloths, coal pots, Waiting for supplies, just one box like this costs 150 taels of silver!"

"Really!" Without waiting for Xie Feng to say anything, Xie's mother and sister Xie approached with beaming faces, fumbling here and there: "This box is worth so much money! Feng'er Ah, you have to cherish it, maybe next time you will..."

"Old madam!" Hu suddenly called out, "What are you talking about, Mr. Xiang will definitely be the number one scholar in high school, so why not next time!"

"Yes yes yes!!! My brother will definitely be able to do it!!" Sister Xie quickly answered.

Xie Feng looked at his mother and sister with some annoyance, shook his head secretly in his heart, and snorted disdainfully: Ignorance.

He went to the tribute field in a carriage, and when Pu arrived there, there was already a sea of ​​people. Xie Feng had passed the exam twice, so he was more experienced, so he was not in a hurry, and just closed his eyes and rested on the carriage.After the sound of gongs and drums, they knew that it was time for the candidates to enter the arena.

At this time, there was already a long queue outside the tribute field, and officers and soldiers with knives and guns stood guard on both sides and searched back and forth like knives. Every candidate will be carefully inspected when he enters the field, from the clothes he wears to Xie Feng knew that he was cheating on the items he carried with him.If something is found here, the examinee will not only be disqualified from the exam immediately, but will also be recorded by the officials, and his career will be ruined in this life.

After waiting from early morning to noon, it was finally Xie Feng's turn.

Standing there, he let people search him calmly.

Two officers and soldiers searched him, and another two were checking Xie Feng's rattan box.

"Be careful, don't break the inkstone, it's a top-quality Huzhou inkstone!" Seeing them with rough hands and feet, Xie Feng couldn't help frowning and said.

Hearing this, one of the soldiers who was lowering his head to take things outside suddenly raised his head, glanced at him lightly, showing a smile that was not a smile, and suddenly raised the rattan box high and smashed it hard on the ground, Xie Feng's face After a change, he glared at him instantly.However, at this moment, the soldier suddenly raised a voice in surprise, pointing to a thin booklet that fell out of the box at some point and shouted: "My lord, this examinee cheated."

Xie Feng was stunned for a moment, he stared at the blue book in dumbfounded, this--
