Chapter 111 Let the second lady find a family for you (two chapters in one)
After the story of Cui Sanshou was told, the house fell into death silence.
Cui Sanshao was a little thirsty and picked up the teapot and poured himself a glass of water. When he was about to drink it, he subconsciously looked at the few people sitting opposite him, and then he realized that they were all looking at him.
The young boy, who was just starting out, was shy under the eyes of these red fruits.
He simply put down his cup and asked with a thorn in mind, "You all look at me, what are you doing?"
Zhao Shiqing looked at Shen Guanyue: "Xiao Yueyue, do you like to eat melons?"
Shen Guanyue: "I like it, but I don't like to eat fools."
Then, Shen Guanyue looked at Ni Baoer and said, "Ni Baoer, where are you?"
Loach knew that his mind was not as good as these two, but in Cui Sanshou, he finally found a sense of superiority: "I have never seen such a stupid melon."
Well, Cui San Shao finally understood. He pointed at his nose: "Is the fool you are talking about?"
Xiuxiu blinked her big eyes, oh, she seemed to understand too!
She endured the joy after solving the puzzle and said to Cui Sanshao: "What do you think?"
Cui San Shao was a little depressed. He really didn't understand why he was called a fool.
He quickly looked at Zhen Wuduo who had not spoken. Among these people, Zhen Wuduo was the one who was most familiar with him.
On the way to Zhuxitang, the two sat together, one was a prisoner and the other was a guard.
"Old man, do you think so too?"
Zhen Wuduo smiled and said, "Although you are not very smart, you are quite polite. I like it very much."
Mr. Cui San is about to cry.
You know, this matter has been kept in my heart for many days. Although he lives in Lao Wu's house, the family all regards him as a great benefactor. Of course, the great benefactor cannot say whatever he wants, so he has been holding it over. Today, Zhao Shiqing asked him to think about the story. He was a little embarrassed at first, but as soon as he said it, it was like a surging river water flowing continuously. The Yellow River Dam could not stop him. Now he was talking all of it. He was extremely happy, but before he could have time to be happy, he became a fool in other people's mouths.
He really wants to cry.
Zhen Wuduo sighed, "This silly child, thanks to them, I don't know what will happen if I am arrested by a bad person."
"Baby granddaughter, you are the biggest here. Just tell him where he is stupid."
Zhao Shiqing was stunned. She was the biggest?
Hahaha!
In fact, Ling Bo is a little older than her, but Ling Bo is a maid, so he dare not compete with his own lady with Ling Bo's courage.
As for the loach, the age he picked up was unknown. The age he reported was older than Zhao Shiqing, but his height was shorter than Shen Guanyue, who was twelve or thirteen years old, so he wanted to say that he was an adult, but no one believed it.
Zhao Shiqing has always been a little sister at home, but since she left Liangdi, she has placed herself as an elder sister. Now the old man has cleared her name, and she has really become the eldest.
Her eyes looked at Cui San Shao with loving gaze, and her tone became serious: "You have two Jinshi in the Cui family, and the one in the other branch, does he and their family have a lot to do with you?"
Cui Sanshao didn't know why Zhao Shiqing asked about that person. He shook his head: "His family is a branch and has already left Luzhou City. Only during festivals can we communicate with us."
Zhao Shiqing was very satisfied and continued to ask, "In other words, let alone the seniority besides talking about Mr. Cui Er, is the person with the highest status in your Cui family?"
Cui San Shao wanted to say that there was an old man above, but Zhao Shiqing said that putting aside his seniority, his father was indeed the highest-ranking person in the Cui family.
Although Master Cui is the eldest son, he has no official status.
He nodded: "It's true."
Zhao Shiqing said again: "In other words, Ling Zun is the person with the most say in the Cui family, right?"
Cui Sanshao quickly explained: "My father has been in office and has not come back for many years. The matters in the mansion are all under the care of grandfather and uncle, and three uncles."
Zhao Shiqing: "The person in charge is not necessarily a person with the right to speak. People with the right to speak do not have to stay in the mansion every day. The order is issued and written a letter. If one is not enough, write two or three letters. If you are not at ease with the letter, you can also send someone to send the letter to Luzhou City. It should not be difficult for you to find a few servants who are quick to ride horses, right?"
Cui Sanshao was stunned. He had never thought about this problem before.
If my father is not in the mansion, can he issue orders?
From childhood to adulthood, aunts and aunts often mocked them and their mother and son. He always thought that their second wife had the lowest status in the Cui family because his father spent a lot of money on the public school.
But now, the little girl in front of me who had just met for the first time today said in one sentence that his father is the person with the highest status and the most powerful voice in the Cui family.
Is that true?
Cui San Shao wanted to deny it, but he felt that what the other party said seemed to make sense, and he couldn't think of a reason to deny it.
Zhao Shiqing continued, "How long has it been since you met Lingzun?"
Cui San Shao was stunned again, then he lowered his head, looked at his toes, and whispered: "It's been eight years."
Niu and Xiuxiu both exclaimed, it’s been eight years! Cui Sanshao is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year. He hasn't seen his father for eight years.
Zhao Shiqing asked again: "Where is your younger brother Cui Si, how long has it been?"
Cui San Shao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, his face suddenly changed.
".He, he would go to Liangdi during the Chinese New Year every year and say that I am the eldest son and my father is not here, so I will worship my ancestors on behalf of my father, so."
Speaking of this, Mr. Cui could no longer hold it back and choked up.
Zhao Shiqing was not soft-hearted and continued to stab her sword: "So during the holidays, you have to go to the grave to worship your ancestors instead of your father, but your gangster went to Liangdi to reunite with your parents, brothers and sisters, and enjoy family."
Cui Sanshao nodded with a sob. He had envied and felt wronged over the years, but his grandfather told his uncle that he would have the pattern of being the eldest son, and the words his mother said were always "I am a woman, I don't know anything, and your father is not here. Everything depends on your grandfather and your uncle. They do this for your own good."
Since everyone said that such an arrangement was good, he also told himself that this was good, and after a while, it became a habit.
Zhao Shiqing continued, "Then let's not talk about these things for now, just talk about what happened recently. Let me ask you, that day you sued Lou Juren and the young waiter. The young waiter also admitted that it was Lou Juren who sent you over and he wanted to sell you, right?"
Cui Sanshao nodded: "Yes, the waiter can be a certificate, and Juren Lou just wants to sell me."
Zhao Shiqing: "There is someone who has a witness and you are the victim. Why didn't the yamen take Lou Juren into custody, but let him go home?"
He knows this question!
Cui Sanshao: "Because my uncle beat Juren Lou in court, his uncle despised the court. The yamen did not punish him for the sake of the Cui family, but the case could only be adjudicated again."
Zhao Shiqing smiled: "In other words, a case that was originally a conclusive evidence was beaten to a postponement by your uncle's turtle punch? Lou Juren, who was supposed to be imprisoned, also became a victim because of the blow, and was free from justice. Don't you think there is something wrong?" Cui San Shao was stunned. Yes, why did he discover it today?
"But, but this doesn't mean that the person named Lou is fine. The yamen just asked him to go home to recuperate and wait for the summons at any time."
Zhao Shiqing: "But he died, and he died before he was summoned, so the matter of being sold to the waiter by him was left unresolved. It is precisely because he died that all the accusations against him turned into death without evidence. You went to the waiter with him. This is an indisputable fact. You said it yourself. Your Cui family wants face, can they tolerate you?"
If it were ten days ago, when he heard Zhao Shiqing's words, Mr. Cui would definitely not believe it, and might even quarrel with her.
But now, Cui San Shao, who escaped from death, could only cry and laugh at himself. Suddenly, he thought of something: "Yes, they asked the fourth brother to be the legitimate son. They have given up on me, but I am wronged. How innocent am I? I must tell my father, you said that my father has the right to speak, and he will definitely be able to make the decision for me!"
Zhao Shiqing.
Everyone
Shen Guanyue: "Silly is a disease. Will he be angry with me? Oh my God, I don't want to be a fool."
Xiuxiu quickly handed him a walnut kernel: "This is a smart fruit, which can prevent becoming stupid."
Shen Guanyue picked up the walnut kernel with two hands and put it in her mouth. She smiled evilly: "I have received my sister's wishes, and I am polite to you."
Xiuxiu made a vomiting expression.
Everyone laughed.
Cui San Shao didn't laugh, he was doubting life.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Am I really stupid?" he asked his soul.
Zhao Shiqing: "I originally thought you were a little stupid, but now I think you are really stupid."
"Why?" Cui San Shao was puzzled.
Zhao Shiqing: "You also know that your father is the person with the most say in your Cui family. You are his own son, yes, or the only legitimate son. If you don't have your father's permission, will the Cui family dare to kill you?"
Cui Sanshao was stunned. He had never thought about this problem.
Zhao Shiqing: "You are walking on the road very well, but someone is trapped in a sack. Do you think this is all done by Lou Juren. He kidnapped you and sold you to a waiter. Let me ask you, can you recognize Lou Juren at a glance, then do Lou Juren know you?"
Cui Sanshao was still confused: "Maybe, maybe, I probably know each other, but I'm not familiar with each other."
Zhao Shiqing: "Your Cui family is a wealthy family, and there is also a little princess' biological mother. Your father is an official, you are a child of an official, and Lou Juren is kicked by a donkey, so he will kidnap you and send you into a waiter's house. What would you do like this? You can't do something that you are so stupid and can't do, so can Lou Juren?"
"But why Juren Lou?" Cui San Shao was still unwilling.
Zhao Shiqing: "Think about who saved Lou Juren from prison."
Cui Sanshao: "It's my uncle. You mean, the person named Lou was ordered by my uncle? Why? Why did my uncle let him harm me?"
Zhao Shiqing: "Because your good fourth brother, you are your father's own son after all. As long as you are good, your father will not harm you for nothing, but your fourth brother's biological mother will, for her son, she can go over your father and find your uncle.
However, your father may not know about these things that happened to you and the end that you died. But he must have known them later.
By the way, has your uncle asked your father for help recently? ”
Cui Sanshao was extremely shocked, opened his mouth and took a few breaths, and finally calmed down. He thought for a while: "It must be because of my elder brother. He went out to study and seemed to have caused trouble. I don't know what the specific trouble is. I heard from my fifth sister."
The eldest brother he mentioned was actually his cousin, the eldest son of Master Cui.
The so-called study tour is just a beautification. In fact, this young master Cui was not interested in studying at all. Although he was born in a scholarly family, he was not a seed of study. Instead, he learned all the so-called romantic affairs of talented men.
Half a year ago, Mr. Cui cheated some money from his mother, left a letter, and went out for a trip with several second-generation ancestors in Luzhou City. A letter came a month ago. The content of the letter was unknown to outsiders. Mr. Cui only heard from the fifth sister of the big room and knew that Mr. Cui was causing trouble outside.
Cui Sanshao is not stupid, he is just simple.
Now that I have broken the window paper, I have figured out everything I didn’t think about before.
Something happened to Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui asked Mr. Cui Er to help. Mr. Cui Er wanted to help. Mr. Cui Er would not mention whether he wanted to help, but Aunt Wang must have been in trouble in this matter.
She took the opportunity to propose conditions to Mr. Cui, which was to turn Cui Si Shao from a concubine's son into a legitimate son. You should know that families like the Cui family are legitimate, and illegitimate is legitimate. If there is a legitimate son, it is impossible to change the legitimate son to a legitimate son.
Unless the legitimate son commits a crime or has his reputation destroyed, he may die.
The only legitimate son died or was deposed, and it was said that it was a thing of the past to remember the concubine's son in the name of the legitimate mother.
So Cui San Shao died before officially opening the ancestral hall. Of course, he claimed to be missing and searched for it but couldn't find it. Gradually, he died.
With a reward of 50,000 taels, the Cui family has a reputation of being kind to cherish their descendants. It is really not a waste. Cui San is still contributing to the family after he died.
"The person named Lou is the helper I asked for? But I sued him in the yamen. Does he want to be famous?" Cui San Shao was puzzled.
Zhao Shiqing: "That's because he didn't expect you to report to an official. Usually, when encountering such a thing, a young man from a scholarly family like you would not report to an official. Even if he escaped, he would run home to tell his elders and ask his elders to make the decision. They thought you would do this too. As long as you run back, they would be defamatory because you are impulsive. You are young and impulsive, and you can't think of yourself."
Cui Sanshao: "I commit suicide? If I don't commit suicide, they will kill me and then claim to the public that I committed suicide?"
It is impossible for a person to commit suicide for no reason, but it is okay to die of shame and anger because he was humiliated in a young waitress.
Moreover, scholars who die in order to preserve their reputation will not be humiliated.
Therefore, from the beginning, Master Cui or Aunt Wang did not want to let Cui San Shao live.
However, Cui San Shao did not play according to common sense. He did not run home, but went directly to the yamen. In this way, Lou Juren was exposed, so Master Cui staged a scene in court to temporarily save Lou Juren.
Cui San Shao figured it out, but saw Zhao Shiqing frowning, and he was puzzled: "Is there anything else?"
Zhao Shiqing: "I suspect that it is not Lou Juren who works with your uncle, but his wife Zhang."
If this is the case, then this matter is quite complicated. In addition, Mr. Cui Er is an official in Liangdi.
Cui Sanshao was not in the mood to think about this. His heart hurts very much, it was a pain that cuts through the heart and lungs.
Loach came over and patted his shoulder: "Miss II didn't ask you to get out, thank her quickly."
Cui Sanshao: "Why do you want to thank her?"
Loach: "You have no home anymore. Please ask the second lady to find you a family in the village. There are several families in the village who want a son, so you are very suitable."
