silly wife

In the cold winter, it snows heavily outside the house.

In the room, Cui Nanguan was wearing a big cloak. His face was like a jade crown, but his eyes were cold, his lips were slightly closed, and the corners of his mouth were not curved. He was sitting cross-legged in front of the tea table. The white cloak made him look lonely It seemed cool and elegant.

Second Master Cui came in, looked at his back, and sighed, "San Cui, everything is packed."

"Yeah." Putting down the teacup in his hand, Cui Nanguan stood up and looked at Second Master Cui: "Dad, can you blame me?"

"Why?" Cui Erye smiled: "I believe in my son"

Cui Nanguan saluted him cautiously.

At Yemao, the eunuch Xuanzhi hurried to Cui's mansion with his troops.Everyone was stunned when they were suddenly awakened by knocking on the door.

On the bamboo garden tower, Cui Nanguan stood on a high place, looking down.

Outside Cui's residence, a large number of soldiers rushed into Cui's house with torches in their hands, surrounded the entire Cui residence, and the night was noisy.vocal

The Cui family hall was overcrowded, except for one Cui Ping, almost everyone gathered here.

The eunuch Xuanzhi took a step forward and opened the yellow scroll in his hand: "The Cui family listens to the decree!"

Everyone knelt down.

The Xuanzhi eunuch read out loudly: "Follow the heavens, the emperor's edict said——! Shangshu Cui Ping, forming a party for personal gain, corrupting the law, cheating in the examination room, unpardonable crime, today I will remove Cui Ping from the position of Shangshu! Put him to death, three days later, at noon Execution at the door! The rest of the Cui family are exiled to Qingzhou, Qin—here!"

During the Xuanzhi eunuch's one thought hell, the Cui family was in chaos, Mrs. Cui couldn't bear the blow, and fainted on the spot.

in the cell.

Cui Ping has been here for half a month. He has been waiting for a comeback, waiting for himself to be released, but he never thought that after waiting so many days, he would wait until all the Cui family members were locked up. Come in.

"What's going on here? Why are you even imprisoned?" Cui Ping looked excited and asked questions like cannonballs, but no one answered.

Cui Yanshi and Cui Jinzhi looked at him, both of them were so excited that they almost couldn't cry, everyone in the Cui family was also in a gloomy mood, there was a lot of noise in the cell, which caused the jailer to yell and curse, and everyone collapsed and sat on the ground without saying a word language.

The men of Cui's mansion were together, and the women were locked together. Mrs. Cui was brought in in a coma. After she woke up, she first looked at Cui Ping and was agitated, and then looked at the dark and damp prison cell. They were all tensed up, and it took a long time before they forced out: "The Cui family... this is going to end..."

The female relatives huddled together, Cui Meng and Cui Ying rushed to Mrs. Cui and hugged her and cried. Luo Shi also hugged a four or five-year-old boy and sat in the corner without saying a word. Among the female relatives, only those who were relatively calm Cui Liushi.

After a short period of calm, Cui Ping became agitated again. He stood by the door, grabbed the fence, and kept roaring and shouting that he wanted to see the emperor. He was wronged, but in this cell, no one cares about him.

Second Master Cui was sitting in the corner, taking care of Old Master Cui together with Cui Feng. The young masters of the Cui family were all depressed, with their heads bowed, not saying a word.

Cui Nanguan just sat on the side. Although he was also sitting in prison clothes, his hair was slightly messed up, but his expression was slightly cold, and he did not respond indifferently.He didn't even look at the crowd, he just sat there without saying a word, but his eyes flicked to Cui Ping's back from time to time.

Now even the family members of the Cui family have been imprisoned. Cui Ping’s case is clearly settled and there is no possibility of overturning the case. How could Cui Ping not panic, but he yelled for a long time, but there was no response from outside, and those jailers seemed to be absent at all. .

Cui Ping yelled all day, but no one paid any attention to him. In the evening, the jailer came to deliver the food. Cui Ping grabbed the jailer, threatening and luring him to express his feelings to the emperor. How could a jailer be easy to bully? Cui Ping was slapped when the whip came out, and the female relatives cried out in fright. Mrs. Cui looked at her and kept begging to stop beating. pull.

Cui Nanguan still just sat aside and watched quietly, without saying a word.

The jailer whipped Cui Ping severely, and before leaving, he even taunted Cui Ping: "Do you think you are still that Shangshu lord? Damn! You adults are not honest officials, buying and selling official positions, cheating in the examination room, and killing many students! That Mr. Wu crashed to death on the Dengwen drum! You are still wronged! If it weren’t for you corrupt officials who filled their pockets and forced the common people to almost lose their way of life, there would be mob riots over there? War would happen!? If I were you Stay obediently! Don't offend the emperor, I'm afraid you won't be the only one who will die by then!"

Cui Ping wanted to say more, but the jailer whipped him again before turning around and leaving.

In the cell, it was quiet.

Cui Ping fell to the ground with whip wounds all over his body. Several brothers and nephews stepped forward to help him up.

Cui Nanguan looked at him indifferently, but Cui Ping suddenly broke away from the crowd and rushed towards Cui Nanguan: "It's you! It must be you! You are a picky guy!" He raised his hand and was about to hit Cui Nanguan in the face.

"Boss!"

"Cui San!"

It seemed that everyone was taken aback.

It's just that Cui Ping's fist was about to fall when Cui Nanguan grabbed his wrist.After everyone was frightened, they hurried forward to hold Cui Ping, and Cui Yan even rushed to Cui Nanguan and stared at Cui Ping viciously: "Uncle, this is crazy! He will bite anyone if he catches him! It's because my elder brother has a good temper! It's going to change someone else to make you useless here, regardless of whether you are an elder or not, beat me up first!"

"Xiao Yan!" Cui Erye yelled at him: "Don't be presumptuous!"

Cui Yan hummed, angrily, and didn't speak any more.

Cui Ping stared at Cui Nanguan grimly: "If it wasn't for you kid who cooperated with outsiders inside and outside, how could I be deposed by the emperor as Minister, and how could these things happen to the Cui family!"

Cui Nanguan's face was pale, and he looked at him with a bit of sarcasm and did not speak.

Cui Ping was still hoping, he smiled sinisterly: "I haven't lost yet, and the Second Highness hasn't come back, so I can't lose!"

Cui Yan sneered: "Uncle, I'm afraid you don't know yet? The border mobs are making trouble, foreign enemies take the opportunity to invade, and the Second Highness has already led the army to go out, and he will not come back!" Cui Yan mocked: "The Second Highness has given up. You! Now that the imperial decree has been issued, you have no hope!"

Cui Ping was surprised: "How could it be...how could it be..."

Cui Nan watched his reaction, his eyes were suspicious, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Old Mrs. Cui sighed heavily, and opened his mouth: "Boss, don't you know your mistakes? Are you still obsessed with this? Now that the imperial decree has been issued, it can be seen that this matter has been proved to be a crime, and you still don't know how to repent! Look... ...What have you made of Cui's family!"

Cui Ping was taken aback, and turned to look at old Mrs. Cui: "I did it? Didn't I do all this for the sake of the Cui family and you! I didn't do it for the sake of restoring the glory of the Cui family! I would have made it this far!"

Old Mrs. Cui was startled, and was immediately speechless. Mrs. Cui's face was full of tears, and she looked at him in surprise, as if she didn't know her son.

Cui Ping didn't know if he was driven a little crazy by the beheading. He shook off his brother and nephew, stumbled a little: "What's wrong with me? I didn't do it for the sake of the Cui family? I did all this, father, you always Didn't you support me all the time? Huh? Why are you blaming me now that something happened?"

Old Master Cui was full of surprise, he stood up tremblingly, his eyes were red, and he slapped Cui Ping.

"Do I support you in forming a clique for personal gain? Do I support you in enriching your own pockets and breaking the law? Do I support your cheating in the examination room and killing your students?! Our Cui family is a scholarly family, and your grandfather is a well-known contemporary scholar. He is an official. I have been admired all my life, but why did something like this happen when I came to you! Yes, I have always supported you, and your grandfather was very optimistic about you back then, but how could you let me down and let down your grandfather like this! Now You still don’t know how to repent!!!”

Mrs. Cui closed her eyes fiercely as she listened. She was almost buried in Cui Liushi's body, sobbing suppressedly.

After the old master Cui finished these two sentences, he seemed to have exhausted his strength, staggered and almost fell, and the frightened second master Cui and Cui Yan hurriedly supported him.

Cui Ping was slapped by Mrs. Cui, and he calmed down. He raised his head, the corners of his eyes were wet, and took a deep breath for a long time: "I don't understand... I did these things so secretly... How could I be... ...the Holy Majesty will know..." Cui Ping was caught off guard.

Old Mrs. Cui said bitterly: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing about it..."

Since it is for, there are traceable things, five or ten years, someone with a heart can always find out.However, it is meaningless to say more now, Cui Ping has been convicted, he cannot escape the death penalty, and the Cui family is doomed to exile.

Three days later, the members of the Cui family were forcibly taken away by the jailers. Cui Ping sat on the ground in a daze, as if he didn't even have the strength to cry. Execution ground, just...

Someone turned around and turned back.

Cui Ping raised his head in a daze, but saw Cui Nanguan standing in front of him.

"Why didn't you leave?"

"The jailer was accommodating and allowed me to see uncle off for the last time"

Cui Ping snorted coldly: "Even the jailer can bribe, it seems that you really have a hand."

"What I keep is more than just one hand?"

Cui Ping's eyes flashed, and he looked up at him.

Cui Nanguan looked at him condescendingly, his eyes were sharp and contemptuous: "This gift from me to Uncle, Uncle, do you like it?"

Cui Ping was shocked, and suddenly got up and rushed over, but was stopped by the fence. He stared at Cui Nan ferociously: "It really is you! I knew it! You won't be obedient!"

"Uncle's clever calculation" Cui Nanguan's eyes were cold but sharp, but the corners of his mouth still had a slight arc, but his words were very cold: "Back then, uncle paid me to kill me, so I should have expected today, but It's a pity...in this world, there is no regret medicine to buy"

Cui Ping roared furiously, as if he wanted to rush out and tear Cui Nanguan into pieces: "Just to overthrow me, you don't hesitate to use the lives of everyone as a bargaining chip! Cui San! You are not afraid that you will not be able to catch the wolf if you give up your child!" Did you drag your parents to be buried with you in vain!"

"The Cui family has been rich for a long time, and it's time to suffer." Cui Nanguan just smiled lightly, as graceful as a spring breeze: "Uncle, you should also rest. You are destined to not be able to bear the glory of the Cui family. Just walk this way uncle." , I will also take good care of my aunt and my second brother on behalf of my uncle." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Cui Ping stared at his back and called his name viciously, but in the end he could only watch him walk away like this...

The Cui family was exiled, and all the people, old and young, were chained and left the capital under the escort of officers and soldiers.

Cui Ping was escorted to the execution ground, the people on both sides of the road pointed at him, and even groups of students came together and pointed at Cui Ping angrily. What we did in the past.

The sky and the earth are divided into heaven and earth.

Fu Fu Huangming blows in his hand.

Ordinary students are bitterly cold.

Year after year, year after year.

Mountains and rivers do not move households.

Flowers fall in front of the gate courtyard.

Winning or losing is the palm of your hand.

It's really no match for the dead wood beam.

No one said anything about being an official.

The dignitaries in front of the Red Gate Courtyard.

The three best surnames of prosperous wealthy families.

Hold your head three feet high and sit in the hall.

One weaves two nets and the wires are wrong.

The big drum was loud and silent.

The clear current turns the waves and the yellow sand rises.

How can we see tomorrow on a sunny day.

The students were catchy, and they read aloud, and their voices were extremely angry. If it weren't for the soldiers who kept going, some people would have rushed out and thrown the trash with Cui Ping's face.

Cui Ping was not the only one who was demoted by the emperor to be investigated and beheaded for public display, and several other adults also suffered the same hardship.

Three o'clock noon.

The executioner raised the knife and fell, Cui Ping and the others didn't even have a chance to cry out, and all the heads fell to the ground, blood spattered all over the ground...

The Cui family fell, and the court was purged.

In the same year, Lixia.

The weather is hot, and children from poor families don't like to wear shoes. They run all over the mountains and plains with bare feet, making them look like beggars with dirt.

Qingzhou Peach Blossom Village is famous for its peach blossoms. Regardless of the season, there are peach blossoms in full bloom almost every season, but because of the relationship between varieties, they can only be used for bonsai viewing. The serious peach trees are out of season. All the fruits were beaten down by the children in the village, and it was unseemly to waste food after gnawing on one. However, the children were naughty and lively, and when their parents yelled twice, it was fine. If they really beat them, who would be willing?I'm afraid that if the parents yelled, the grandparents would rush out to protect the grandson. The naughty ones would have already run away. If they don't play until dark, the parents' anger will disappear. Maybe they won't home.

In the study hall, the old master sat behind the press and shook his head to teach the children to read poems, one sentence at a time, in a vivid situation, but who would have known...

"The moonlight is bright in front of the bed, it is suspected to be frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to tear your crotch"

The children in the classroom immediately roared with laughter.

The old master came back to his senses, and immediately shouted and cursed: "Who is fooling around outside!"

Outside the window, the man was still reciting a poem: "The grass on the Lili Plain, one year old and one withered and flourishing, the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates."

The old master staggered, walked to the bed, looked at the figure sitting under the window sill, nodded and smiled: "Not bad, not bad, it's rare that you turned your back on a song."

The man raised his head, with a childlike innocence on his face, when he was praised, he grinned: "Hello, Master."

The old master nodded: "Zifang Zhang, you are here to attend class again."

Zifang smiled shyly: "I didn't go to class, I was only outside, so I don't have to pay tuition."

The old master stared: "You have the nerve to say it! If all the children in this village are like you, what will I eat?"

The "Northwest Wind" ovary opened its mouth and picked it up.

The old master stared.

Zifang was shrunk by his stare, and muttered: "I often hear from my aunts that eating northwest wind, isn't it...wrong?"

The old master almost laughed angrily at him.

Seeing Zifang like this, the old master sighed and asked him: "You often come to me to eavesdrop. What have you learned? Read it back and forth. If you can recite it, I will allow you to come in and sit down in the future." listen"

Zifang's eyes lit up: "Really? Then I know a lot." Zifang counted on his fingers: "I know the Three Character Classic, the Book of Filial Piety, and Thoughts at a Quiet Night. By the way, I can also know the dawn of spring!"

The old master nodded: "Then you can recite Chunxiao to listen to it."

"Okay!" Zifang replied very crisply. He looked at the old master with sparkling eyes: "Chun Mian doesn't wake up, mosquitoes bite everywhere, Ye Lai slaps, I don't know how many people died!"

Old Master: ...

Zifang flattered him and asked him, "Can I recite well?"

The old master gritted his teeth: "What do you think?"

The children in the schoolroom laughed.

Zifang blushed from the laughter, a little timidly, and asked cautiously: "Then let me recite a Three Character Classic for you?"

The old master stared at him without speaking.

Zifang was a little guilty, coughed twice, and began to recite: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, but habits are far away. Dogs don't bark, gnaw bones, cats don't make trouble, and they consume a lot. Jellyfish, Taohuawu. Zi don't learn. , cliff jumping. Dou Yanshan, there are earthworks..."

"Stop, stop!" The old master's face was dark.

Zifang snorted and looked at him pitifully.

The old master sighed: "What are you messing about?"

"Three Character Classic"

"Three Character Classic? Who taught you this, call him out and see if I don't kill him"

"I don't know." Ovary pouted slightly, as if aggrieved.

The old master looked at it and relaxed his expression: "You can come to my class if you want to, I allow you to sit in the last row, but you are not allowed to make trouble, and you are not allowed to disturb other children by talking, you understand?"

Ovary nodded immediately.

The old master patted him on the head: "It's getting late, you go home." Then he looked at the school and said to the children that school is over.

On the way out of the school, Zifang had a smile on his face, and when he saw a few familiar people, he would obediently say hello to them.He is obviously an adult man, but he looks like a child. Every time I see him, I can't help feeling sorry for him.

The Zhang Zifang of the uncle's family was still the pillar of the Zhang family back then, but... married to the capital, and after returning, he... changed...
