Kuai Chuan Teaches You To Be a Man

The punishment given by the court can be said to be quite severe. Master Cao and his wife, Mrs. Fang, both fainted after hearing about it. When they woke up, they still couldn’t believe it. What was wrong with saying that Yaozu cared about the people of Fushan and wanted to benefit the people? Even if there is something wrong with him, this punishment is too heavy, how can he be punished with a cane, implicate the father, and drag down the children and grandchildren for this trivial matter?

The two of them couldn't accept it anyway. Not only the two of them, but the entire Cao family felt inexplicable, but Magistrate Jin was not surprised. After hearing about the court's treatment of Cao Yaozu, he nodded, thinking that it was reasonable.

What is the most afraid of being an emperor? The most afraid of large-scale disasters, such as droughts, floods, plagues, earthquakes... When encountering these, people will be panicked. The emperor usually has to make a guilt and reflect on his own bad things.

Because of Qiao Yue's relationship, now all over the world, they are praising the court, and they feel that the emperor is a prosperous emperor, and the court officials rule Qingming. The days were comfortable, and a **** stick appeared in vain. Cao Yaozu gave an order to reduce the production in the whole county of Fushan, and the harvest was halved. In the eyes of the Cao family, they might think that there were no dead people and nothing was wrong. From the above, it seems that this is much more serious than the death of a few people.

It is the hardest to dispel the grievances of the people, and the hardest to dispel the anger of the people.

For farmers, halving the harvest is equivalent to killing them. How much energy does the court have to spend to appease them? In order to appease them, even a year's land tax was discounted.

When the news came out, the farmers didn't think they made any money, because the normal taxation would not be able to pay 50%, and now they are discounting 50% of the grain.

But since this is the case, we can only think about the good side. At least there is the precedent of Cao Yaozu. If others do similar things, they must think carefully.

The joy of a bumper harvest has diminished a bit. What is hot in Kangping now is not how much my family has harvested in a few acres of fertile land, but when will Cao Yaozu come back? Are the rotten heads ready?

"What's a bad cabbage head? I'll take the stagnant water and splash him from head to toe!"

"This man surnamed Cao is still close to Mrs. Hou, how can he go to the black family? Chen Xianghou is such a good person, he is a living Buddha!"

"What kind of life did we live in the past? Take my family as an example, now I can eat three meals a day, mixed with 100 meters of yellow rice, and two meals a day. Not only is there enough food to eat, but I also feed a dozen chickens with bran shells. , I can pick up several eggs every day. Think about it again, ten years ago, my mother-in-law just got married, and the first baby she gave birth did not feed and starved to death. If he had been born a few years later, it would have been better, two babies and three babies. What kind of skinny did you have in the past few years, and you have gained weight in the past two years."

That man used to do farm work in the sun, and his tan was very dark. His eyes were red when he looked at Jing Qian and talking alone. He patted him on the shoulder and patted him on the shoulder to stop thinking about it.

In the past, life was hard. Even if the year was good, the food that was recovered could not help but be eaten. It took a full meal and a hungry meal to deal with it for a year.

It’s different now. Now, as long as you work hard, you can eat enough. Every household is stocked with grain. There are rice, wheat, and sticks as the main food. Potatoes can be eaten when they are roasted in the stove. a dish.

Chen Xianghou may not know how many lives he has saved himself. In the past two years, I have never heard of anyone dying from starvation, nor have I heard of anyone who can't afford food and sell children. Think, now they're over.

Thinking about the piles of dry rice in the granary of one's own family, and then thinking that such a good person is still smeared, it is immoral!

"I also have to save some stagnant water and say hello to the Cao family!"

"There are still a lot of rotten leaves in my house. I have packed them up and I will wait for him to come back!"

"The emperor didn't say that Cao Yaozu should personally go to Chen Township to plead guilty to the Marquis, let people stare at him, and shout when they see him."

"This beast! It's not as good as a beast!"

Almost the whole Linzhou has this kind of atmosphere. The most angry are the local farmers in Chenxiang. They saw with their own eyes that the Qiao family and their sons went to the ground every day. Before each promotion, a trial plant must be tested in the experimental field. The trial plant does not mean that it will be successful every time. There are also hybrids that fail to meet the expectations in terms of appearance and harvest. In the process of planting, there will be such and other problems. Outsiders only see After a successful harvest, they have no idea how frustrated the agricultural commissioners are when they fail.

In the past, there were still people who were jealous that the Qiao family sealed the marquis by farming, but now there are very few, almost none. He can make people in the world eat enough by farming, which is better than taking the championship! Better than winning a battle! Stronger than anything! At least that's what the common people think. For everyone, it's best to have a full meal.

When Cao Yaozu shows up more, there are more who can't wait, and have already ridiculed the relatives of the Cao family. Not to mention the Cao clan, the Fang family was also implicated, but Yu Zixiao's family and friends all sympathized with him.

I sympathize with him for having such a brother-in-law. They all said that when the first lady was alive, she was a good woman. How could there be such a sister who gave birth to a son like Cao Yaozu.

Some people say that the son has committed a crime, and his parents should not be affected.

This statement has just been put forward, and it was immediately rejected.

Neither nor nor!

He, Cao Yaozu, didn't grow up like this by himself, there is always someone to teach him? If you insist that no one teaches, then it is also the father's fault to raise or not to teach.

Father Yu listened to their discussion, but did not participate in it. He went home and wrote a letter to the prefect of trust, and sent it to Chen Xiang to his daughter Yu Xia.

On the one hand, it is a routine concern, but also because of his personal thoughts about Cao Yaozu. He remembered that his grandson A Rong was only seven years old and was very intelligent. With such talent, you should be taught well. Don't be like Cao Yaozu, who clearly has talent but is unsteady in learning. He insists on taking shortcuts, but he ends up going astray, and it is a pity to harm others and himself.

There are frequent exchanges between the prefect of Linzhou and Qiao Yue. This letter was sent to Chenxiang together with the official document. It was early winter when Yu Xia saw it. After reading it, I thought that my father might have seen the shadow of Cao Yaozu in his childhood in A Rong. He should have been very popular with teachers in the past...

However, A Rong was different. Yu Xia knew that he had not let go completely. He had resentment in his heart, but he was not the same person as Cao Yaozu.

Cao Yaozu is utilitarian in managing interpersonal relationships. He has almost never given his sincerity to people, and I am afraid that he will coax and deceive people around him. A Rong is different from him. Although he looked a little withdrawn and not very gregarious when he first arrived, it is normal now. He respects his grandparents very much, and respects and admires his cheap father. .

He should have inherited the mantle of A Yue and would not follow the old path of Cao Yaozu.

Yu Xia explained these situations in the reply letter, and hoped that her father would not have to worry. It was written in the letter. She still devoted a lot of energy to A Rong, and paid special attention to his recent situation. She felt very good and normal, nothing strange. , and then turned around to help the mother-in-law to marry the concubine.

The two concubine daughters of the Qiao family are both over fifteen, and they are just the right age to talk about marriage. Originally, the wife wanted to choose two families with good conditions from the people who came to propose marriage, but no one came to mention it.

The wife was still puzzled, she only touched the door after hearing Yu Xia's words.

It's not that others don't know that the Qiao family has two daughters, but that they are too embarrassed.

The local big family dare not propose marriage hastily, this is because the Qiao family's door is too high, and rushing to the door will only be ridiculed. As for the famous family who are worthy of the Qiao family, they don't like these two prostitutes very much. It is said that their appearance is nothing but ordinary, let alone their knowledge and insight. , and the relationship with the head of the family, the Yu family, is not that good... Marrying home is just causing trouble, and there is no point in other than that.

When talking about a pro, I am most afraid of encountering this kind of high-level incompetence.

They like it, others don't.

Seeing them, she disagreed.

Wang Zhenniang didn't care about the two concubine daughters, and she didn't want to cheat, but she still wanted to tell them two good families who could live comfortably. You don’t need a lot of family property, just don’t lack flowers; people don’t need to be very prosperous, and it’s best to have less pickle.

Wang Zhenniang briefly mentioned the conditions for choosing a son-in-law, and then went out and waited for someone to talk about the matchmaking.

The condition she released made the two concubine mad. They first went to the aunt and cried, and found out that it was useless, and then went to Yu Xia, wanting to beg her more, hoping that she would be soft-hearted. Which girl's family doesn't look like marrying a high-ranking family? Said that they would never forget their kindness when they married a high-profile household! Ask your sister-in-law for help.

Yu Xia was reading the article that A Rong wrote yesterday, and she was so arguing that it was difficult to concentrate, so she put it down and said, "Marriage is a big matter, the matchmaker ordered by my parents, if my sister is not satisfied, she should go to her mother-in-law, why should I cry? Come to me? I have no position to interfere in this."

"My wife likes you the most and is most willing to listen to you. Sister-in-law, you should do good deeds!"

Yu Xia shook his head, saying that if he did good deeds, he couldn't agree more.

The younger sister is puzzled.

Yu Xia brought up Cao Yaozu.

"My cousin, Cao Yaozu, the former magistrate of Fushan County, you should know. He is a very smart man. Before taking a step, he said that he can see three steps away. Because he is excellent, the former prefect of Cenzhou, Lord You, is not afraid of gossip. Insist on marrying the daughter of the family to him. This was originally a beautiful thing, but you see now that the Cao family has fallen and the You family has been defeated, do you still think it is beautiful?"

"Even if Cao Yaozu missed it once, her wife, You Shi, pierced the sky for him, and there is no room for saving."

"I don't use this example to take pity on Cao Yaozu. I want to say that it is a happy event for my daughter to be well-bred and marry into someone else's family. Like Miss You, marrying her has two families, and Cao's family regrets that the family will be finished."

"My sister's vision is in the countryside, but she wants to go to a famous family, dare to say that she will not make mistakes? Do you know how much trouble big families have? Can you bear it? Can you manage it? The meeting is to send people to the door to make jokes. If you make a mistake, you will fall into the abyss. It is better to marry someone who is neither high nor low. In the past, you will be able to lead the family, and you will not easily get into trouble, and you will not be short of food and clothing. What's wrong Woolen cloth?"

These words were not pleasing to the ears, but they were pertinent enough. Yu Xia was not afraid of offending people. After speaking, she let her think about it for a long time, or she would not give up and beg his wife to go to her own, after she figured it out, she was ready to marry with peace of mind.

Facts have proved that there are still people who can listen to persuasion. One of the two prostitutes is afraid. Thinking that the county magistrate's wife can make a small mistake and can drag the family on the road, if she is of a higher rank, can she marry and sleep well?

One of the two is cowardly, and the other is going to make trouble.

Wang Zhenniang promised the obedient one a good family, and she didn't want to care about the other one, so she directly told her which families were interested in getting married, asked her who she liked, and asked her to choose one.

According to her conscience, she felt too bad, but she still chose the best one. It was a grain business in Fucheng and a big grain merchant in Linzhou. The family's surname is Li, and they are proposing marriage for the direct descendant, Young Master Sun.

They want to monopolize the rice seed by mentioning this kind of kiss. The harvest is good. The price of grain has continued to fall in recent years. It's not that there are fewer people buying and selling food, or that there is no profit, but that the price can no longer be raised, and the huge profits are gone.

The grain merchants have tasted the beauty of the five or six times the price of grain has skyrocketed in the past. You let him take the path of small profits but quick turnover, and his heart is bitter. This group of people is probably one of the few people who hate Qiao Yue from the bottom of their hearts.

When doing business, they have to find business opportunities. Grain is not easy to sell. They can sell grain seeds instead. If they want to marry a concubine of the Qiao family, they just hope to get married and go out of their way to wrap up the grain and seed business.

The motive for proposing marriage is impure, and the person proposed is a fool. If you are good for her, she thinks that you are harming others. If you are looking for life and death, you have to agree to this family, okay! Qiao Fulai is a violent temper, and Wang Zhenniang has run out of patience to serve. If you want to marry, then if you marry, don't regret it later, and no one will pity you if you regret it.

After a year or two of tossing, the marriage of the two concubine daughters was finally settled. One of them was close, and the other was a large landlord with a family of thousands of acres of fertile land. The landlord has three sons, who are brothers. The landlord did not accept it. The concubine has no concubines and concubines, and the family is quite quiet and united. Another said that the big grain merchants in Fucheng would be far away after they got married.

The Qiao family still carefully prepared dowries for the two daughters. Qiao Fulai didn't really care about it. Wang Zhenniang discussed it with Yu Xia, thinking that if someone married, they would be with their husband's family. Saying it's the last sale doesn't have to be harsh.

In any case, the dowry is always the confidence and face of the daughter's family. What should be given should still be given to her. If you can give it, you can only blame yourself, not others.

The wife has a good heart, and Yu Xia agreed, and suggested that you follow the rules, you don't have to slap a swollen face to make a fat person, you don't have to slap her face, and it's enough that you don't treat her badly and make people not make mistakes.

Dowry is face, but face is not all earned by dowry.

Thinking that when she got married, her father tried his best, but the dowry was actually not comparable to others. She didn't feel ashamed, and now she is living a good life.

The Qiao family was preparing to marry their daughter. At this time, Cao Yaozu returned to Kangping with a wound. Not all the injuries on his body were beaten by the guards in charge of walking the sticks, and the peasant households who were out of breath also moved their hands. It was all because of the people from the yamen that no one was killed.

Cao Yaozu was seriously injured at the time, and it took half a month of training before he left for Kangping. When he heard that his official road was cut off, he rushed to the heart and vomited a mouthful of blood. Mrs. You was frightened to death and said, "Xiang Gong, please cheer up a little. "The Road to Perfection" "You have three strengths and two weaknesses, what should I do?" "Let's take care of your health, let's go to Beijing to hear the drum and sue the emperor, and explain our grievances to the emperor" "The emperor will decide for us" "My father will find a way. "…

Only then did Cao Yaozu know that Mr. You was really stupid, hopelessly stupid.

Thinking of the basket that this idiot stabbed him, he raised his hand and slapped him, wishing he could write a divorce letter on the spot. But at this time, he was injured all over, especially his hips were all smashed, and he could only stand on his stomach and couldn't stand up. If You shi squatted in front of him and couldn't slap him, what else could he do?

"Get out! Get out of here!"

You shi fell to the side, her face hurt, but she quickly figured it out, Xianggong is extremely talented, he is so concerned about his future, and now he ends up like this, he can't say anything.

Mr. You endured the pain and wanted to go up to comfort him, but was pushed by Cao Yaozu again.

"Let you go and hear?"

Mrs. You had no choice but to quit first. She went out and wept bitterly, thinking that her father had been in the officialdom for so many years, and it was not so easy to be defeated. She wanted to write to her father and ask her what to do now!

She didn't know yet that You Jia was the one who splashed water in a pot of oil and exploded flowers. Her father and her mother may love her, but she is not the only daughter in the You Family, there are sons, concubines, and other daughters. Master You is the backbone of the entire family. He was about to get enough qualifications to go to Beijing, but he ended up in Cenzhou because of this inexplicable thing.

Master You was very sad in his heart, and his wife also blamed her daughter. She felt that she was married off, and she was blindly worrying about her parents and causing trouble for the family.

The two of them were good, and it was the You brothers and sisters who hated her to death.

I couldn't compete for favor with her before, but I hated her.

Now that she is dragged down like this, I really want to drink her blood and eat her flesh.

More than one Youjia daughter was dismissed from her marriage, and there were also those who were preparing for the imperial examination to become an official.

Mrs. You also counted on her mother's family to advise her. There was a mess of porridge at her mother's house. His elder brother forced his parents to nod his head, saying that no matter whether it was writing a letter or begging to come to the door, he could not interfere in her affairs, and she would die if she died. Scourge one! Do you still want to have a family for her?

Being a parent is still unbearable, but with so many children risking their lives, his own son said that if you don’t agree, he will kill me head-on, so how can he care about the whole family for a married man?

Seeing that Master You nodded, only a few sons said that there was something wrong with her at home? She had the best life before she got married. When she got married, she had the most dowries. After she got married, she still had to worry about her parents everywhere. Now it's time for the Cao family to have a headache. Although the left and right courts are not officials of Cao Yaozu and his old father, they have not seized his home. Can his father be the Kangping county magistrate for so many years to support two people?

The son has brainwashed his parents and told the housekeeper again and again, so this letter from You Shi was never delivered to her parents. Mrs. You didn't wait for a reply, but her husband, Cao Yaozu, lost his mind for a few days and almost died, but one day he figured it out.

His official road is broken, he can still be a staff member, and he can support the new king. As long as he supports this person to become a treasure, he has a chance to turn over.

Cao Yaozu felt that he had this ability, but he forgot that no one believed him now. In the eyes of the whole court, the magistrate of Fushan had some talent, but he was overjoyed and reckless.

Even the question now is not whether anyone is willing to accept him under his command, but that there are too many people waiting to settle accounts with him.

There are farmers in Fushan who have lost their harvest, and the people in Quanlinzhou are also waiting to complain to Qiao Yue, including the implicated You Family. Those in the You Family who lost their backers and those who were withdrawn from their relatives hated them the most, and could not wait to bring these two scourges to ashes.

Cao Yaozu was still pondering how to turn over, he forgot the most important thing to save his life from being blind.

It was also thanks to him that he regained his strength, because he thought of a new way out, Cao Yaozu felt that even if You Shi was damned, he couldn't be divorced and returned to his parents' family at this time. You will think he is too cool and unbelievable.

It is best to bring it back to Kangping and leave it to my mother to cook.

Feeling that the injuries on his body were better, Cao Yaozu decided to take the You family away from Fushan. He thought of going back to Kangping first, and hurried to Chenxiang to make amends for Qiao Yue while he was injured. If he had to go to Qiao Yue with all his tails, maybe he would make things difficult for him. If he was carried away so badly, Qiao Yue should always raise his hand, otherwise wouldn't he be too cruel?

I don't know whether to say his life is good or bad, but he returned home relatively smoothly.

No one expected that he would be slapped twice as soon as he entered the door, and this slap was drawn by his mother Fang Shi.

Mrs. You was going to protect her husband, but Mrs. Fang grabbed her and almost smashed her face.

"I slapped you twice and you don't agree? How dare you? How can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Cao family? It's fine if you are dismissed from office, and you will implicate your father and future generations!"

Fang Shi's heart was bleeding. She used to feel unsatisfied even as the county magistrate's wife, and hoped that her son would earn her a life. As a result, the first-class and second-class appointments did not come, and instead, the title of Madam Xiancheng was lost. Now everyone is laughing at her, anyone can step on her, how can she hold it down?

Fang felt that these two hits were light. How much did she pay for her son and what did she get in return? Is this villain worthy of her?

Now there's nothing left, no hope!

You say there is still a family property?

You are no longer an official, how long can you protect your family?

Besides, who didn't offend anyone? Now that you are down, how many people are waiting to get down.

After Fang Shi finished beating her son and her daughter-in-law, she was still not relieved, she stretched out her hand and pushed You away, sat down on the armchair panting heavily, and after a while pointed at You, who was sitting on the ground, and said, "You must marry her! If you say she is stupid, it will be good for your future, but if you say she is stupid, you will be deceived! In the end, she is a scourge, killing people!"

You Shi was stunned at first, but when he heard this, he raised his head suddenly.

She first looked at Mrs. Fang, then raised her head to look at Cao Yaozu who was standing beside him without saying a word, trying to hear the denial from his mouth, but Cao Yaozu didn't even look at her, went straight to Mrs. Fang and knelt heavily. Down.

"It's the son who sees it wrong and marries a stupid woman. It's the son who thinks he's right and doesn't listen to advice. It's the son's fault."
