Chapter 229

"What mad woman is not a mad woman, you girls are timid!" Gou Shuan said.

"You are timid, stinky dog Shuan, don't forget who was scared by Ah Choi and cried." Ah Choi is a local dog, and a boy as old as Gou Shuan hates cats and dogs. That time, A Cai made him anxious, and A Cai drove him around the village for half a circle.

Boys of this age also don't want to be called timid. Gou Shuan jumped up when he heard this and said, "I'll let you see if I'm timid this time."

As he said that, he followed the voice and went, but Erya didn't stop him when she called him.

Ning Ning looked at his back: "Er Ya, should we go and see, is he all right?"

"As timid as he is, he will definitely be scared back. Forget it, let's go and see. It's not good if you scare him, I tell you that crazy woman is scary." Erya looked like a little adult, Again frowning and shaking his head.

Ning Ning didn't want to go, but she was afraid that Erya Goushuan would say she had no righteousness afterwards, so she went with Erya, but when she went, she saw Gou Shuan eating with a piece of cake.

This small courtyard is different from the front, because it faces the southeast, and the sun in the courtyard is very good. There was an old woman leaning on the reclining chair, smiling and watching Gou Shuan eating pastries, and said, "Jun Cai, eat slowly, don't choke."

Erya said in surprise: "Yeah, she's not crazy today."

Erya has been here many times, and she always encounters this old woman from time to time. Sometimes I see her clothes are clean and her demeanor is normal, but sometimes she is dirty, sitting on the ground crying.

This place is not something that little children can come to. I went back and told the adults. The adults were also taboo, and they only told her not to come, be careful of the crazy woman hitting people, Erya knew it was a crazy woman. However, she is not afraid of crazy old women. The right thing is that she is not afraid of her when she is normal. If she starts to cry, Erya is also quite afraid.

"Just say you girls are timid, how can there be a mad woman." Gou Shuan said while eating the cake.

The two little girls looked at each other, but didn't know what to say.

Gou Shuan asked them to come and eat cakes too, Erya took a piece from Gou Shuan’s hand when she saw that she was greedy. The old woman who was smiling all of a sudden suddenly became embarrassed and rushed to beat Erya. Fortunately, Erya was small and escaped at once, but the old woman fell to the ground.

"...Damn dog... Who asked you to rob my talented pastry... "

The three little boys ran away crying, and the old woman smashed the pastry plate while cursing. After smashing it, he threw himself on the ground to pick it up, saying that he would leave it to Juncai to eat, and it seemed crazy to see his appearance.

After a while, a middle-aged woman walked in from outside the door. Seeing this situation, she hurried in.

"You said you're fine, can't you, you have to make a fuss."

This woman looked like a countryman, black and strong, and her strength was not small. She pulled the old woman up and pressed it on the chair.

"Sit down, and I'll clean up. Alas, if you say you're fine, it won't work. Who has the time to clean up for you every day..."

This woman is long-winded, she is talking while she is working, and the old woman is also talking about herself. Ordinary people will be scared when they see this scene.

However, the two get along well, and it seems that they have been together for a long time.

"...Xue Gouzi... Gouzi, it's all you son of a bitch... Keeping me here... "

When the woman heard this, she smiled but said to her: "Okay, don't talk about this, it's not your eldest grandson, who is willing to take care of you. By the way, when your eldest grandson comes back, the whole family will come back. Now, returning home, what a beautiful sight..."

"... it's all... it's all about you, the mortal star... harming the old man... harming your aunt... making me imprisoned here... "

Ning Ning hurriedly ran home from the back door, and Zhao'er was talking to Aunt Osmanthus in the room.

Recently, some old people in the village have come to her to reminisce about the old days. They are all elders and have good friendships, and Zhao'er is willing to listen to them.

Seeing her daughter's panicked look, she hurriedly hugged Ningning into her arms: "What's wrong?"

"Mother, I saw a crazy woman."

Zhao'er didn't understand and asked carefully, only then did she know what was going on from her daughter's mouth.

Aunt Osmanthus hesitated. In fact, she didn't say Zhao'er and knew what was going on. If she could be locked there, who else could be except Zhao, I didn't expect Zhao to be crazy.

I don't know about this.

"It's been crazy for some years. The old patriarch said that Ting Xiang was an official outside and didn't want to bother him, so he never told you. Usually, he took good care of her, and specially found a daughter-in-law in the clan to take care of her. It's good when it's good, and it's noisy when it's bad. But we haven't seen it before, we just heard people say that."

Zhao'er was full of sighs. After sending Aunt Osmanthus away, she didn't know how to explain to her daughter that the crazy woman was actually her great grandmother.

When Xue Tingxiang came back from the academy, she talked to him about it.

Xue Tingxiang has mostly been in the academy these days. For a high-ranking official, who is still the No. 1 Scholar of Liuyuan, most scholars admire him. For Yuqing Academy to have such a big momentum now, many people came to Xue Tingxiang's name.

In this case, he inevitably has to come forward to lecture on the scriptures, or give pointers to the students' homework.

After Xue Tingxiang heard this, her brows could not help frowning, and she said, "Juncai also told me today, but I didn't expect Grandma to be crazy."

In fact, this kind of situation can be imagined. The Zhao family has always been bad to the second room, and after being crazy, she likes to talk crazy. Even if someone pity her and want to let her out, they will not dare.

Not to mention the old patriarch, it is not allowed. If Xue Tingxiang's reputation is ruined, I am afraid that no one can take this responsibility. Therefore, under the acquiescence of the whole family and even the whole village, the Zhao family was imprisoned for ten years.

"What did Juncai say? What about this?"

"Jun Cai said he wanted to take Ama back, and I agreed."

"Just take it back, she's not too young, she won't have a few years to live, so let her live the rest of her life in peace." Zhao'er sighed.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came to mind outside the door: "Madam, something has happened to Madam."

It's the girl Chunxiang.

Following Xiaohong's marriage to Zhao Zhi, Xiaolu also got married. Now Zhao'er has another group of girls, all fourteen or fifteen years old, as delicate as a flower.

"What's so frustrating?"

Chunxiang couldn't speak, and a strange male voice sounded outside the door.

"Sister Zhao'er, I'm Xue Tao, and the second grandma is dead."

When the second grandma heard it, the couple didn't react. After thinking about it for a while, I came to understand the relationship between Xue Tao's family and his own family. According to his seniority, Xue Tao should be called the second grandma of the Zhao family.

Zhao is dead

At noon, many people in Yuqing Village did not eat lunch and gathered in front of the old ancestral hall.

Zhao is dead.

Master Xue's own grandmother died.

She died inexplicably. Xue Cai's daughter-in-law cried with tears and snot, and could not explain why Zhao died.

According to her, she came here in the morning as usual, packed up all the Zhao family, and went home to work.

During the visit, Zhao went crazy again, she cleaned up again, and went home to cook and planned to deliver it later. Unexpectedly, when the meal was delivered, he found that Zhao had hanged himself on the beam.

"I don't know what's wrong with her. It's always like this. Today, she went crazy and said some nonsense. I told her that Lord Xue and Lord Xue are back..." Xue Cai's daughter-in-law cried with a look on her face. Qianqian seems to be aware that Xue Shi's death may have something to do with what she said.

"But how do I know she can't think about it, I just say it like that, say it like that..."

Xue Cai rushed up and slapped his mother-in-law on the face: "Stinky mother-in-law, you still say it. Usually you have nothing to talk about. If you don't listen, it's annoying to me, but this time it's caused such a big disaster. ."

The quarrel between the two was really ugly, and it was inevitable that some villagers would go up to persuade: "Xue Cai, you beat your mother-in-law so much. She has worked hard for all these years."

But you don't blame Xue Cai's wife, nor do you blame Zhao's dead man, can't you blame Xue Tingxiang? He came back, so his grandmother died.

Some people who understand quickly stepped forward and persuaded: "Tell me a little less, want to say go home and chat with your mother-in-law, all nonsense."

Someone in the crowd shouted, "The patriarch is here."

Someone shouted: "Master Xue is here, Master Xue is here."

"Xue Shanchang is here too."

Everyone who should come has come, even the old patriarch.

The old patriarch trembled and scolded as soon as he stood still: "This Zhao clan has harmed my old brother and my family, and now I have come to harm the backbone of my Xue clan, I should have drowned you in the pond. Let you accompany my old brother!"

The old patriarch rarely said such cruel words, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.

Xue Jinquan winked, and the people from the Xue family dispersed the crowd: "It's all gone, it's all gone, and there's nothing more to do around here."

"I haven't reported the funeral yet, I'm going home and waiting, I like to join in the fun!"

"Tingxiang." The old patriarch looked at Xue Tingxiang with an unconcealed anxiety and panic on his face.

"Cousin."

"Cousin I'm sorry you..."

"Cousin, what are you talking about? Life, old age, sickness and death are common occurrences. She is my grandmother. But whether she died by herself or for other reasons, we have to see."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I… "

At this moment, the crowd that had dispersed came to this side again, and some people shouted that the official was coming.

In fact, where the official came, it was the imperial envoy from Beijing. As the magistrate of Xia County, Wang Mingde naturally had to accompany him in person.

These people came very quickly, but it was only a matter of seconds before the effort was reached.

Wang Mingde's face was full of smiles, as was the imperial envoy, but he was stunned when he saw the current situation.

"What's going on here?"

The imperial envoy was a civil official who wore specific imperial envoy clothing.

There is a difference between eunuchs and ministers. The former represents the emperor. The beginning of the imperial decree is usually made with a statement. This imperial decree does not need to go through the cabinet, that is, it does not come to the table, but only represents the meaning of the emperor. The latter is issued by the cabinet and begins with an edict. It is to be circulated within the imperial court, to be reported in various places, and to be familiar with all officials, which also means to represent the imperial court.

There is also an imperial edict, which is to inform the world, not only the officials but also the common people.

It could be the minister who declared the decree to come forward, which means that it has something to do with the official position, but now Xue Tingyan doesn't care about the official position. Maybe he was playing Tai Chi with Emperor Jiacheng in the air before, not only to earn face for himself, but also to test the emperor's heart.

It's just that it's useless to say anything now.

When the grandmother dies, the grandson who is not the grandson should be able to serve and decline.

During the period of filial piety, there are many rules.

As far as the people are concerned, as long as you don't commit major taboos, such as getting married during a funeral, having children, or having a big banquet, no one will care about you. But for officials, the rules are even heavier. If nothing else, officials who observe the period of filial piety should return to their ancestral home to live in mourning.

Now is a critical time for Xue Tingxiang. He has just resigned and was transferred to the capital. With major events undecided, Ding You will recover after a year of death. Who knows what the current situation will be

To put it more bluntly, Ding You is a year old, and it will take about half a year to recover. Who can remember who Xue Tingxiang is when it's time

Xue Tingxiang himself doesn't care, but he needs to return to the DPRK for support everywhere along the coast. If the situation he has worked so hard to maintain is broken, the long embankment will collapse into the ant's nest, and the hard work of the past ten years will be in vain.

The crisis came at this time, and no one thought it would be in this way.
