The Laughing Usa of the Red Chamber

There are folk rumors that children's souls are complete when they are five years old, and if a boy who dies after the age of five is not accompanied by a yin marriage, the family will be disturbed and the family will be unlucky.

The child of the Shen family was over eight years old when he passed away, so he must have been married to a yin marriage, but if he didn't, is it difficult to spend some money to buy a yin marriage document?

Regardless of which dynasty or generation, yin marriage is legal.

Shen Xiang sighed: "You are really clever. The reason why I changed Yulin's clan registration for you at the beginning was also because I wanted to marry a suitable girl. His household registration in the government has not been revoked, which is convenient. you."

Shen Yulin smiled slightly, and said: "It's the disciple's luck, master, is there anyone else in the girl's family? After all, a husband and wife should support her parents."

Shen Xiang is helpless, small families often use paper figurines for yin marriages, and the family has more requirements. They have to pass away in less than seven or seventy-nine days, their birthdays are worthy, and they cannot have marriage contracts during their lifetime. Their facial features must be correct, and their age difference must be within three If you are under the age of one, you can't die from a traumatic injury... How can there be so many corpses of girls who conform to the rules in the right family?Naturally, they searched for it from the poor family, but if they were so poor that they sold the girl's body, how could they be regarded as serious in-laws?

Shen Yulin also understands Shen Xiang's meaning, but although yin marriage is legal, no one lives by sticking to a yin marriage, as time goes by, people will gossip about it, and taking care of the woman's parents can teach him a reputation for love, At that time, he will make up some rumors, people always sympathize with the dead, and that will be done once and for all.

Shen Xiang listened in silence, for a long time, Fang said: "If you really act like this, your future will be cut off. In the future, if you meet a woman you like, if you have this matter in front of you, you will even be a stepwife..."

Shen Yulin smiled and said: "If I really have a woman I like, how can I be willing to marry her?"

Shen Xiang sighed softly, got up and took out a small purple-black wooden box from the drawer under the bookcase, wiped off the thick layer of dust with a vase-wiping cloth, and put it on Shen Yulin's desk.

"When I returned to Beijing at that time, when I stayed with a farmer's family, I heard that a girl surnamed Liu happened to die of illness in a farmer's family. Her birthday was just right, and she was married to a yin marriage. At that time, she gave 100 taels of silver, and the family also signed the document. .”

Shen Yulin opened the wooden box, there was a thin layer of dust on the first layer of white silk, when he opened it, the documents inside were all clean and intact.

Shen Xiangdao: "At that time, in order to delay the time to match the yin marriage, in the government file, the report was missing, which happened to be right. It can be said that when you disappeared, the clan thought that you had encountered an accident, so you matched the yin marriage and set up a tomb."

Shen Yulin said with a smile: "Let the master worry about the disciple again."

Shen Xiang said: "It doesn't matter, there are gains and losses in everything. It's good for the disciples to see it. In fact, if you are a man, you may not have a good match."

He is used to being alone, and he doesn't think it's important to stay behind. It's just that he knows the temperament of his disciples. He has a gentle smile on his face, but his heart is frozen with tofu. The ice layer is too thick, and the tofu is too soft. .Let him live alone like this, for a long time, the tofu will either be frozen into ice, or the tofu will be broken into slag.

For a person like him, it's time to find someone who understands cold and hot, and supports each other for a lifetime.

Shen Yulin's smile stiffened slightly.

Shen Xiang said: "Forget it, you are still young, after a few more years, maybe you will meet someone you like, don't worry about the yin marriage, the clan will arrange it for you, there are still five days of annual leave, don't worry about it. If the inspection is done well, it will be good to rest and recuperate."

The bruise under Shen Yulin's eyelids was so heavy that Shen Xiang couldn't bear to drag him to talk, and waved him to wash up.

Zhao Yanran held a large stack of ghost-drawing talismans, looked at the thin family letter in Zhao's hand, it was full of words, and wrinkled her nose.

I didn't think it before, but now with Chen Yanyu's letter compared, Chen Yanqing's grade suddenly fell a bit lower.

painting!painting!painting!Just know how to draw!It's so badly drawn!

This one is a painting of geese going back to the customs, which looks like a hairy sesame seed cake, this one is a painting of a military tent, it is painted like a bun with a pointed cage, and this one is a painting of a war, it is painted like a mad dog entering a sick chicken nest......

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is used to duplicity. Uncle's piles of paintings can make people jealous to death. This one in our family looks gentle and affectionate, but it's actually more boring. It's just a few words from the book. A love poem copied from above."

Zhao Yanran snorted softly, but there was a smile in her eyes.

......

Chen Yanyu, who was even more bored, sat in the tent, pursed her lips, looked at the transcript of "The Vientiane Formation" in her hand, and sighed silently.

Another great victory, a celebration banquet was being held ahead, only two brothers were left in the tent, Chen Yanqing hung his left arm and sat on the main seat to draw a book.

The Yi people were not so vulnerable before. Since the battle of Chen Yanqing's fame, when the two most powerful princes were beheaded in the first battle, the Yi people began a three-year chaos. The throne, unable to withstand the pressure of his subordinates, declared war on Da Jin.

Hacha is only a teenager with a yellow mouth, how can he command 40 soldiers?The more you fight, the more you retreat, the more you fight, the more you retreat, this battle is so boring.

Formation is a good formation, but it is too time-consuming to train soldiers, and [-]% of the battle is over, and the soldiers have not been trained yet!

"So you must add this to your daily training. It is very easy to take the formation and mark the position. You can use the rest time after the jab training..."

While Chen Yanyu was talking, there was a clear and pleasant female voice outside: "Marshal, it's time to change the medicine."

Chen Yanyu immediately stopped talking, frowning slightly.

Chen Yanqing's subordinates didn't stop, and in response, someone lifted the felt curtain and came in. It was a gentle-looking woman in Tsing Yi, who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, carrying a medicine box.

"Ban Xia, isn't Elder Sun here?" Chen Yanyu said lightly.

There shouldn't be women in the army, but the grandparents and grandchildren they rescued by chance are really good at medical skills, and they have treated many wounded soldiers, but they don't want to leave, so they have to stay in the military medical camp. trouble.

Sun Banxia said with a slight smile: "He is busy setting the bones of Captain Jiang. It's not a big deal to change the medicine, so I'm here. The marshal won't dislike me?"

Chen Yanqing was biting the pen and thinking about how to draw the heroic figure of Jin Suli, the general who killed the northern barbarians, without raising his head.

Sun Banxia said helplessly: "Marshal! Do you still want your hand?"

Chen Yanqing raised his left arm and said, "Change it."

The other hand is still pressing on the drawing paper, adding strokes from time to time.

Sun Banxia opened the medicine box, stepped forward, and suddenly glanced at Chen Yanyu, with some embarrassment on his face.

Chen Yanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending not to understand what she meant, turned another page under her hands, sat on the second seat motionless, and had no intention of leaving in the slightest.

Chen Yanqing struggled to lift his arm, frowned and said, "Why don't you change it?"

Sun Banxia was slightly startled, blushed and responded, and began to remove the bandage.

This kind of dawdling woman was really annoying, Chen Yanqing turned her head, and turned her gaze back to the drawing paper.

"Marshal is so kind to his wife, he is so busy and still finds time every day...to write letters." Sun Banxia laughed.

Chen Yanqing suddenly smiled and said: "Brother should also be able to read and write. Your younger brother and sister sent a letter saying that your sister-in-law is learning to write with her recently, and she is learning very quickly. Be careful when you go back, your sister-in-law will dislike you again!"

Chen Yanqing smiled and said: "That's just right, let her teach me when I go back."

Chen Yanyu chuckled lightly and said, "You are so beautiful! My sister-in-law will teach my little nephew by then!"

Chen Yanqing chuckled twice, "Isn't it okay for me to listen in?"

Sun Banxia pursed her lips and said: "Banxia can also..."

"Brother, guess who's the first name my sister-in-law can write?" Chen Yanyu interrupted seemingly unintentionally.

Chen Yanqing's eyes lit up, "It's me?"

Chen Yanyu laughed and said, "Of course it's her own..."

Seeing the conversation between the two brothers, Sun Banxia paused for a moment, and changed the medicine a little faster.

In a blink of an eye, the annual holiday has passed, Du Ruoqing's matter has been suppressed, and according to what Jinxiu said, the concubine Yongyu who caused the accident was all restrained, it can be seen that the person who made the move was not simple.

Shen Yulin knew that Du Ruoqing would not be able to be an official for long. This was not just a historical fact, but his temperament was not suitable. He was too real, and this officialdom was too false.

After distributing the old cases from years ago, Shen Yulin sorted out the regulations on exemption from investigation and copied them into the memorial.

There were two knocks on the door, which was Du Ruoqing's usual method. Shen Yulin laughed, thinking of him just now.

"Brother Du, come in."

Du Ruoqing was wearing soapy white regular clothes, without a crown, she was a little thinner, but her complexion was fine, it was rare that she was smiling.

"Brother Shen is troublesome these days." Du Ruoqing said.

Shen Yulin stood up with a smile and said, "It's okay, brother Du wants to cancel the vacation?"

Du Ruoqing smiled lowly and said: "I have handed over my resignation letter, and here I am saying goodbye to Brother Shen."

Shen Yulin was slightly stunned, this was expected, but the timing was wrong, the supervisor had just stepped on the right track, and his left deacon was about to resign...

Seeing his hesitation, Du Ruoqing sighed: "Without me these days, isn't the Supervisory Department working as usual?"

Shen Yulin paused, and said, "Then what are your plans after you resign?"

Du Ruoqing said: "I have nothing to worry about now, so I can go wherever I want."

Shen Yulin said: "Brother Du is full of knowledge and talent, what a pity."

Du Ruoqing's heart ached slightly, and she said: "I used to rely on my talent and thought that I could support the people of the Li people, but I didn't realize until now that it...is not what I can do."

Shen Yulin sighed after listening, "That's really not something Brother Du can do alone."

Du Ruoqing was slightly startled.

Shen Yulin said: "There are some people who are born to pursue official careers, but not many. More people climbed up step by step. After many difficulties and obstacles, some people did not forget their original intentions and became good officials. Some people lost their jobs. The bottom line is here."

He patted the thick file, and said: "Brother Du has not forgotten his original intention and kept the bottom line. Although he wants to resign now, there is no need to blame himself. Brother Du's character is worthy of admiration. The officialdom always prevails over the west. There are so many officials like Brother Du, why worry about not seeing the blue sky?"

Du Ruoqing said: "Brother Shen means... coaching?"

Shen Yulin said with a smile: "You can't go to Wenyuan Pavilion by yourself, and it's a beautiful thing to have peaches and plums in the court. What do you think, Brother Du?"

Du Ruoqing smiled lowly and said: "I don't know why, listening to brother Shen's persuasion, it seems like I am listening to my grandfather's teachings."

Shen Yulin coughed lightly, and said, "Maybe it's because I've been used to teaching Shaoqin recently, and before I knew it..."

Du Ruoqing smiled, and said: "I will seriously consider this matter...Brother Shen, would you like to accompany me to the last morning court tomorrow?"

Shen Yulin sighed softly, knowing that the meaning of these words was to recommend him to succeed the left deacon, and it was not easy to shirk, so he nodded in response.
