Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ping Xiangxi's life today is extremely difficult.  The so-called wall falls and everyone pushes it down.  Ping Xiangxizai learned that the boy waiter had escaped with the money and could not be chased back.  The body and mind suffered a huge blow.  Now I'm sick,

    We could have gone to look for Shangtang, but Shangtang went on business and would not be able to come back for a year and a half. Zhenzhen started to raise her at the hot spring village, and then went to her own village to escape the summer heat. When it got cold, she went to the hot spring again.  Enter Zhuangzi.

    When Shang Qi went to the mansion, he found that all the people in charge inside and outside the mansion were people from Wenwan's past, and no one paid any attention to him.

    Ping Xiangxi asked Shang Qi to borrow money from his relatives, but the Duke was not there.  The duke's wife was gone, but the prince did. He didn't make any sarcastic remarks, he just talked about his family's difficulties.  I borrowed ten taels of silver.

    This is true for the Duke¡¯s Mansion, let alone other families.  If you're kind enough, close the door and don't let in.  The more cunning ones teased him in front of his face that he had a golden phoenix in his house that you didn¡¯t want and drove him away.  It also caused the entire Taira family to suffer.  I still want to borrow money, but I don¡¯t have any garlic.  The more arrogant ones were even scolded.

    Shang Qi can only accept his anger.  He didn't dare to tell Ping Xiangxi these things.  But Chun Niang will not hide it.  As a result, Ping Xiangxi's illness became a little more serious.  Over and over again, but still unable to die.  Asking a doctor to take medicine, this illness completely wiped out the little money the family had.

    The fifth house is not available for a month, and the family is having trouble eating.  Mr. Miao often eats one meal and worries about the next.

    In the end, Shang Qi really had no choice.  You can't just sit back and have nothing. I originally wanted to sit in a restaurant, but when people asked about his family background, no one dared to take it.  Finally, he found a job outside and worked as a cashier in a shop, earning a salary of ten taels of silver a month.  But every day one person has to do the work of two people.  A Jinshi master went to work as a shopkeeper.  Is there any way.  The wall will fall and everyone will push it away. No matter how unwilling you are, you still have to live.  The husband at home needs to see a doctor and take medicine, and the children also need to eat and drink.

    Shang Qi stayed at home and did nothing.  I don¡¯t go out to look for work either.  .  Every day when it's time for dinner, I take Yao and come over for dinner.  Miao had accumulated a lot of fire.  Miao is not stingy, you are a normal grown man.  What's the point of just going out to eat and drink for free at home?

    What¡¯s even more annoying is that Yao¡¯s dowry includes two hundred acres of paddy fields.  But not a cent of the dowry was given.  Just bring the money and forget it.  At least some food should be sent over.

    Miao mentioned it cryptically several times.  Yao pointed at Sang and scolded Huai for a long time.  Miao's face turned red with anger.  Miao's maid Xiaohuan couldn't stand it and had a few quarrels with Miao.  He was slapped by Yao.  Miao clenched her fists.

    Xiaohuan cried and said to Miao, "Girl, how could someone be such a bully?"

    Miao held Xiaohuan's hand and said, "It's okay. I will take back this slap for you in the future. Let's endure this tone for now."

    Xiaohuan covered her face and said, "Girl, I heard that Master Shiyi and Yao bought good food and ate it secretly. Girl, this is too much." There was hatred in Miao's eyes.  However, Xiaohuan was still able to tolerate this for the time being.

    Until the twelfth lunar month.  Ping Xiangxi's health gradually improved.  But it¡¯s the New Year¡¯s Eve again.  Let alone make new clothes for the children, there is no money to buy a meal of meat and vegetables.  Shang Qi's salary is just enough to support his family.

    At this time, Yao gave Shang Lin an idea.  Prepare to make a fortune.  Shang Lin also thinks the method is very good.  So he suggested to Ping Xiangxi, "Dad, how about we buy this house. I've already gone to find out. This house with three yards can be sold for 20,000 taels of silver. Dad, sell this house. Now the population is low."  "Why do you want such a big house? Sell it and buy a smaller one. The remaining money can be used to buy some property and add some income. "Wenwan's house has been renovated and the location is very good.  Okay, the yard is wide and the place has been lived in in a gentle way, so the price is naturally not low.  There are many people who want to buy it.

    The Chun Niang next to her almost laughed.  This group of people is really ignorant.  If you want to sell a house, you have to find out whether you have the deed to the house or not!

    Ping Xiangxi also thought it made sense, so he called his eldest son and daughter-in-law over and told the matter.

    Shang Qi asked strangely, "Dad, you said you were going to sell this house. Did Wenwan give you the deed?" He had told Miao about this before.  Now there are only about a dozen people in the five-bedroom house plus the wet nurse and others, so there is really no need for such a big house.  This house was originally three houses in one.  The original intention was to leave a courtyard.  The other two houses were sold.

    Miao, on the other hand, smiled bitterly.  Ping Xiangxi didn't have the house deed or land deed at all.  In other words, this house is still Wenwan. If Wenwan goes to extreme lengths and asks them to move out, no one will say anything.  Everyone was trembling with fear during this meeting, but fortunately Miao knew that Wen Wan would not do anything so cruel.  At least public opinion can't get over it.  If we break away from the relationship again, we can't let our biological father sleep on the street!  But now they only have the right to live, not ownership.?

    When Miao was worried and didn't know what to do.  Miao's brother came over and saw that his nephew couldn't even wear new clothes.  My eyes are so sore.  He put down the things he had brought and gave Miao a hundred taels of silver.  Let the New Year be more decent.  Don't let it go to his nephew.

    Miao did not refuse, this would be a difficult time.  When life gets better in the future, she can just return the money to her brother.  The eldest young master of the Miao family later married the daughter of one of his father's colleagues, who was gentle and virtuous.  The couple was living a pretty good life.  Although her stepmother occasionally went crazy, it was the Miao family's eldest grandma who was in charge now.  Just because Wufang offended Wenwan.  Therefore, the Miao family did not dare to attract attention and come to help.

    During the New Year, Mrs. Miao made new clothes for Ping Xiangxi and her son.  But the food on the dinner table is still the same.

    When the Yao family found out, they told the Miao family to hide their secrets.  Miao didn't say anything, but Xiaocui, the maid next to Miao, gave her a sip: "I've never seen such a shameless, lazy woman. If this is going to be in someone else's house, I'll have to go to bed early."

    Yao Shi was acting wildly and rolling around, going crazy.  Make a small ring.  If Xiaohuan suffered a loss once, he would suffer a second loss.  If Mr. Yao hits her, she will naturally fight back.  So, the two rolled together.

    Shang Lin scolded Miao.  Miao has knives in her eyes, and she is not afraid of hard times.  However, she must not suffer from such cowardice again.

    After Shang Qi came back, Miao told Shang Qi what happened.  Shang Qi held Miao's hand guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, Ruoying. You followed me and made you suffer."

    Miao shook her head and said: "My husband, I am not suffering. I just can't see it. They don't feel sorry for you. You are my husband, and I feel sorry for you. Honor your father-in-law. No matter how hard or difficult the life is, I have nothing to say. But I  I can't let you keep them. It's not good to keep them. Go and tell your father-in-law, I'll tell you."

    Shang Qi thought for a moment before living like this again.  But they are going to become enemies.  So he endured it and said, "Please bear with it for a few more days. It's almost the New Year now, so it's not appropriate to mention this. After the New Year is over, I will tell dad about the separation of the family. When the family is divided, then you can open the door of the yard  Once it¡¯s built, it¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    After hearing Shang Qi's words, Mrs. Miao smiled happily.  Take out the cotton-padded jacket secretly made for Shang Qi.  Shang Qi looked at Miao's swollen and red hands and was so moved that he couldn't say a word.

    the next day.  Chun Niang happily said to Ping Xiangxi, "Master, I just saw the concierge and bought a chicken and a duck. There are also a few kilograms of meat. I can finally improve the food at noon today. But I haven't eaten meat for several days."  These days, I have been eating too little water, and my face has turned sallow. That¡¯s why I¡¯m recovering so slowly.¡±

    Ping Xiangxi looked sad.  As in the past, when someone got sick, the imperial doctor would come over and give him the best medicine.  Wenwan also sent a large number of precious supplements.  Nowadays, I can¡¯t even eat a meal of meat.  The contrast between these days is huge

    During lunch, Ping Xiangxi looked ugly when he saw that there were still vegetables and radishes on the table.  I lost my chopsticks and lost my temper.

    When Mrs. Miao saw her father-in-law losing his temper, she burst into tears thinking about how she had been so unjustly accused after working so hard for more than half a year, "Dad, I didn't buy meat and vegetables. If I had bought meat and vegetables, would I be able to serve them to you?"  "Actually, Miao still had some money left in her hands, but she just didn't want to buy it.  She wanted Ping Xiangxi to see what the second child and his family were.

    "You still said no. Chun Niang saw it with her own eyes, so it can be false." Ping Xiangxi was so angry that his face turned green. Unfortunately, he always thought that his eldest daughter-in-law was a good person.  Unexpectedly, it was also so heartless.  Now I start to despise myself for hiding my adultery like this.

    "Dad, I really don't have one. I also have a son myself, and I will have to rely on him when I get old. How could I do such a thing." Mrs. Miao cried so hard that she couldn't breathe.

    Ping Xiangxi also felt that Miao didn't look like such a person. She was very filial to him these days, especially when she was sick.  At that moment, she scolded Chun Niang angrily, "Did your eyes see wrongly? Your eyes are dazzled."

    Chun Niang was glared at by Ping Xiangxi, and she cried aggrievedly, "Master, I can still misunderstand such a big, fat chicken and duck. Master, I know that grandma must not be such a person. Grandma, I didn't talk nonsense."  . I really saw a lot of meat and vegetables coming in. I didn¡¯t mean to slander you.¡±

    When Miao heard this, she immediately lowered her head.

    Miao's eldest son said loudly, "Grandpa, it must have been bought by my uncle and his family. I saw them eating fish there last time. When they saw me, they closed the door."

    Miao immediately shouted, "No nonsense."

    Ping Xiangxi didn't believe it, "Shang Lin has no errands. Where did he get the money?"

    Chun Niang immediately applied eye drops.  If you don¡¯t need eye drops, how long will you wait? "Master, Yao still has a dowry. Not to mention other things, she still has two hundred acres of paddy fields. She will marry to our level.After returning home, she was only in and out.  Now our eleventh master is the richest.  It's not impossible for them to go behind your back and drink hot food.  Master, the second grandma wanted the third grandma to supplement the money. The third grandma scolded the second grandma for thinking about her dowry, and was slapped by Yao.  Extremely arrogant.  "

    When Ping Xiangxi heard this, he immediately went to thank Lotus Root.  I opened their door, and sure enough I saw chicken, fish, duck, and a big bowl of braised pork on the dining table.  Not to mention how rich it is.

    Ping Xiangxi was so angry that he smashed the dining table into pieces.  Shang Lin was also beaten with a stick by Master Wu.  After Ping Xiangxi finished beating him, he fell ill again.  This time it was because of anger.

    After diagnosing the pulse, the doctor said: "Fortunately, the master has been in good health before. Otherwise, if he is so angry, he will have to lie down for at least a few months. The master has a good foundation. I will prescribe a prescription and just take a few doses. From now on,  But you can't be angry anymore, your life will be in danger."

    After opening the house, Shang Qi took the prescription and went to grab the medicine.  Mrs. Miao looked at the money jar and smiled bitterly.  Now, even the money to buy medicine was given by her brother.  How to live this day!  Looking at Miao's look, Shang Qi knew that he must have no money to buy medicine: "I'll borrow it from my uncle's house."

    "Uncle's family is also having a hard time. Otherwise, I'll borrow some from my brother." Mrs. Miao lowered her head.  It wasn't that she was unwilling to take out the money given by her brother.  Even with this little money, you have to be careful!

    The Duke¡¯s wife didn¡¯t lend a penny to Lao Wu.  The Duke of Guo is back, and he thinks this is a bit too much.

    The eldest lady smiled bitterly and said, "You think I'm really stingy with that little money. I want to let Lao Wu know. He used to be blessed despite being blessed. If he doesn't let him learn this lesson, he will never remember it for the rest of his life."

    The Duke of Guo was puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?"

    The eldest lady shook her head and said, "Why do you think Shang Tang went on official business and went to the low-rise area so far away? And Su went to Zhuangzi to recuperate and didn't come back for a year. How could it be such a coincidence? This is Wen Wan's request  Teach Lao Wu a lesson: don¡¯t take everything for granted.¡±

    The Duke of Guo said in astonishment: "You mean, Wen Wan will still care about the fifth child?"

    The Duke's wife nodded: "If she really doesn't care about Lao Wu, there is no need to put in so much effort. This child, I guess she just wants Lao Wu to suffer some pain. When Lao Wu has suffered enough, she will feel guilty.  It's okay to know that he is wrong. After all, he is her biological father. She lives a life of prosperity and poverty, even if she doesn't say anything in public.  Some people will say that there is a lack of virtue. Wen Wan is now in a high position and cherishes his reputation. If this is the case, history books will also record this. "

    The Duke of Guo thought this statement was very reliable: "She is so rich now, she won't let herself get such a bad reputation just because of this little money."

    The eldest lady warned, "So, you should pretend you don't know about this. It's time for Lao Wu to suffer. He really thinks that such a good girl should be in debt to him. People can only say that children are parents."  I have never heard of a father being his daughter's debt. If he hadn't done so much, Wen Wan wouldn't be so angry, and the patriarch of the Ping family wouldn't be so resentful towards us.  The resentment is so high that I have vented my anger on you several times.¡±

    The Duke of Guo touched his nose.  He said a little annoyed.  The old patriarch has been very angry recently.  I scolded him several times.  The people in the clan also have great opinions on them.  It's time to let Lao Wu suffer.

    Ping Xiangxi was lying on the bed, taking bitter medicine every day.  Half-dead, he groaned on the bed.

    Chun Niang advised: "Master, don't be sad. I have already gone to inquire. The princess has gone to the hot spring village to recuperate. She will be back soon. When the time comes, go and ask the princess. The princess will not ignore you as a relative."  Dad, please take it easy."

    "No, you can't ask her. I won't ask her even if I die." Ping Xiangxi stopped drinking immediately.  If he really goes to beg her now, he will really become the most shameless father in the world.  Even if I starve to death, I can't beg her.

    Chun Niang said in a low voice: "Master, the princess can't be more filial. This time she was just angry. When her anger subsides, she will never ignore the master. It seems that there are some people there"

    When Chun Niang mentioned this, Ping Xiangxi thought that even if he was dismissed from office before, he had never had to worry about food and clothing, fine food, fine clothes, fine wine and fine wine.  Everyone praised him for his good fortune and having a filial daughter.  How is it like now, when his son has to eat even a plate of meat behind his back, not giving it to his father?  This is my most beloved son, how could I treat him like this?  Ping Xiangxi was so sad that he lay on the bed and shed tears silently.

    Chun Niang is another comforter.

    Ping Xiangxi listened to what Chun Niang said, and her eldest daughter was also raised by her eldest son and daughter-in-law.  I felt very sad and called my eldest daughter-in-law, "How is Qingshan now?"

    Mrs. Miao thought that Ping Xiangxi was thinking about it again.The daughter was a little angry, but she still replied respectfully, "After being expelled from the clan by the clan leader, my husband arranged me to live in the courtyard rented by my mother-in-law. I sent a rough envoy to watch her day and night, so that nothing would go wrong again."  "

    Ping Xiangxi had an angry look on his face, "If there is a suitable family, marry her out so that you don't have to worry about her day and night. Well, just marry her far away and don't let anyone know her origins. I also pretend that I have never given birth to this daughter."  "Qingshan was originally going to be imprisoned in a pig cage, but later there was evidence that she was forced to do so.  The clan leader persuaded everyone, expelled Qingshan from the clan, and threw her back to the fifth house.  Originally, Ping Xiangxi was also expected to be exterminated.  But it was too obvious to be flattering like this.  Leave it aside for now.

    Mrs. Miao was indeed relieved when she heard this.

    When Ping Xiangxi saw the Miao family, he used to feel that this was not what he wanted and that was not good, but now when compared with the Yao family, he felt better.  This is the wife Wenwan chose for her son.  I was in tears right now.  Unable to bear it, she cried and said, "Back then, Wen Wan told me that you were a good person and asked me to tell you to Shang Qi. I thought she was hiding an adulterer and deliberately wanted to harm Shang Qi. I was furious with her. Shang Qi still believed that Wen Wan was kind-hearted. No.  Hui had the intention of harming him. Wenwan said to Shang Qi that although your father is timid, he is cautious and will not cause trouble. Although you have a reputation, you can be sincere to your brother, but you are good inside.  Tired of a bad reputation. He also said that if you are able to manage a household at the age of ten, you should have a shrewd, capable and reasonable mistress who can support the family. At first, I refused to agree to Shang Qi's request, but Shang Qitie did.  I believed Wen Wan's words with all my heart and threatened that if I didn't agree, he would never marry again. After all these years, I finally agreed that Wen Wan was right.  Qi Hao, it's for my own good. I didn't expect that I kept misunderstanding her. Such a filial daughter, such a good daughter, I always misunderstood that she was hiding something evil in her heart, but I didn't expect that it was my fault.  It's all my fault, it's my fault." Thinking again about what was written in Wenwan's letter, I was overjoyed when I heard that my father had come.  The more I think about it, the sadder I feel, and the more I think about it, the more I regret it.  Tears flowed freely.  Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world!

    This was the first time Miao had heard this argument. She had always thought that Wen Wan was because of her reputation, so she deliberately told Shang Qi to bring harm to Wufang and vent her hatred.  She was already prepared for the worst, but after she got married, Shang Qi was very kind and considerate to her.  Although her mother-in-law treats her very badly, her father-in-law treats her very harshly.  At that time, because my husband was always by my side, I didn't feel any pain at all.  But now, it turned out to be such a statement.

    Miao felt sour and moved in her heart.  She was sour because she had suffered so much. Her mother-in-law didn't tell her how bad she was, and her father-in-law was very strict with her. It's not that she didn't know the reasons for this, she just pretended not to know.  I was touched because Wen Wan not only knew her own heart, but also spoke to Shang Qi for her.  She knew very well that with her reputation at the time, she was not a good person to kiss.  She plans not to marry for the rest of her life.  Even though you have such a wicked mother-in-law when you marry into the Taira family, it doesn't always take ten years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law.  Although he often gets angry, Shang Qi is very protective of her, is really kind to her, is gentle and considerate, and is not filial.  Having such a good husband-in-law makes it worth it no matter how much hardship you suffer and how tired you are.

    After returning to the room, Shang Qi came back and asked if his father-in-law¡¯s words were true.  Shang Qi nodded, Miao asked doubtfully, you just believe that Wen Wan will not harm you.

    Shang Qi showed a helpless expression, "If Wen Wan really wanted to take revenge, she would only ask for the late emperor, and she would not need any evidence. She could kill our whole family just by treating her lightly. But she didn't, every time  She would give her any good things. I know that she actually hopes that her father will love her. But her father is too prejudiced against Wen Wan and always feels that Wen Wan will harm him.  It¡¯s really bad. Dad has died ten or eight times. We don¡¯t know where he is now. We just didn¡¯t expect it to come to this.¡±

    Mrs. Miao mentioned what Ping Xiangxi said that she wanted to marry Qingshan.  Very worried, "Dad asked Qingshan to find a new family. Do you think there is any good family?"

    Shang Qi was also resentful of this sister at this time. "The patriarch has told me that although the man forced her at the beginning, she later volunteered. The reason why she was kept alive was because he did not want to implicate other daughters of the Taira family.  Now that Dad has spoken, marrying her to another place will always be a disaster if people from other places don¡¯t know her true identity.¡±

    ??You can always find a candidate if you put in the effort.  Miao married Qingshan to a businessman who was going back to his hometown.  This candidate was found by Miao's younger brother.  The main wife of the family has passed away, and the home is thousands of miles away.  With the betrothal gift sent by the merchant, Mrs. Miao added a few taels of silver to buy a few things, and then married off Qingshan.  On the third day after her marriage, the merchant took her back to her hometown.

    As for An, in order to save a penny, he still took her back.  But placed in a remote house.  Don't let Ping Xiangxi know yet.

    After the New Year, the first month came out.  Shang Qi asked to separate the family.  Ping Xiangxi immediately agreed.  ?The so-called separation of families is just a separation of circumstances.  There is nothing to separate.  Even the house is not theirs.

    After the family was separated, before the Miao family took any action, the Yao family took the lead and built the door leading to their yard.

    "It's been built as soon as it's built, Miao is eager to do it!"  (To be continued)
