Chapter 49 Mo Shaoheng Is Getting Married?
The membership card of the library has now become a kind of word of mouth.
If the children of poor families did not have such a small card, they would probably attract strange looks.
Perhaps for the aristocrats, the library is just a novel place, but for the poor, it can meet the convenience they could not imagine before.
With more and more people reading books, and with the books in the library, Mo Shaoheng moved here and there to borrow and borrow, and the number and types became more and more exaggerated, and people talked about it.
Mo Shaoheng also allowed the library to open the rules that books can be borrowed.
There is no way, there are too many people who come to read a book in a day, and it is impossible to sit down.
It was still dark now, and there were children from poor families who came and waited. They sat for a whole day, and there was no place for those who came later.
If it is too crowded and noisy, it will affect the quality of the library, so Mo Shaoheng's rule is to let people in according to their location in the room.
This greatly reduces the number of people to accommodate.
That's why Mo Shaoheng started the mode of borrowing books.
There is a penalty system for borrowing books, such as late return, such as damage, and a certain amount of points will be deducted each time. When the points reach a certain number, the membership card in the other party's hand will be withdrawn.
It may be said to be an accident if it is damaged once or twice, but if there are too many times, it may not be just an accident, but a lack of cherishment at all.
With the busy traffic in front of the library, Mo Shaoheng's "Biography of Yu Niang" finally reached Wen Shouzhi's hands.
Sure enough, the next day, people from Liangjing Yamen came to seal the book.
Everyone frowned.
The library is an elegant place for scholars, and it is a place that many scholars envy.
Mo Shaoheng's move, in their opinion, already has the momentum of Mr. Huaishan's promotion of culture and education in Beiliang.
Therefore, people from the yamen came to seal the book, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
But... They also listened to the "Biography of Yu Niang" on the second floor, and it was indeed a bit unethical.
If only people who considered libraries holy places found it slightly uncomfortable to close books.
The noble ladies and ladies in Liangjing felt that their flesh was being cut.
In their hearts, Yu Niang was very different. Although her life was bitter, she lived the way they wanted.
When they read the story book, it was as if she had transformed into Yu Niang in the book. For some reason, they could always find something to empathize with.
In fact, Yu Niang described by Mo Shaoheng is the incarnation of women in this era. She brings together all the things that women may experience.
It is not surprising to find empathy from her.
But now, it's going to be blocked?
There were murmurs of resentment.
It's hard for them to say whether Wen Shou is responsible, but they dare to yell at the Yamen.
"Do nothing for a day."
I heard that the people in the yamen are walking on the street, and even the old women in their eighties will poke them.
"Does your family have no mother or no daughter?"
"I can't see how others are doing well."
It was a blast to hear.
But those who dare to go forward and whisper are more or less not afraid of them.
They just muttered that no one could do anything to them.
The topic of discussion also gradually changed from Yu Niang herself to the issue of the woman's marriage.
Yu Niang's sentence "Yu Niang's whole life, she only wants to marry the person she likes..."
Too touching and poignant.
Is it true that their women only have the choice of being arranged to marry and live an uncertain life?
Yu Niang can finally achieve consummation, why can't they?
Mo Shaoheng also paid attention to the wind direction outside, this is what he wanted.
I didn't even dare to discuss such issues before, but now I dare, this is progress...
Although this kind of progress is only a small step, but it accumulates over time and steadily, there will always be a time when ashes accumulate.
A book called "The Story of Yu Niang" is missing in the library, and a group of noble ladies are still lamenting.
Mo Shaoheng took another script book called "The Biography of Heng Niang" and asked the old lady to put it on the second floor.
He stared at a group of noble girls in a daze.
Mo Shaoheng only said: "The story book, if I can write one book, I can write the second one, and I still have tens of millions here."
"Unless the imperial court is full and has nothing to do, it will issue a special law that prevents people from writing scripts."
A group of people: "..."
This time "Heng Niang Biography" is a little different.
If it is said that Yu Niang represents a noble girl with a rough fate, then Heng Niang represents the daughters of ordinary people.
Heng Niang comes from a poor family, but she is beautiful and kind-hearted. Her family is jade, especially her cooking skills, which are full of praise.
This is because Mo Shaoheng's restaurant that specializes in selling pork dishes is about to open, and he has a little personal work involved.
In the book, several dishes of Heng Niang's meeting are written very clearly, they are as delicious as the dishes in the sky, and there are additional recipes.
Mo Shaoheng is selling pork.
But... Blessings come with misfortunes, and Heng Niang also encountered the misfortune that every girl in Beiliang may encounter.
The person she secretly likes is going to Beijing to take the exam, and her father married her to a local ruffian.
Even at the moment before she got married, Heng Niang didn't know it at all, she was still waiting for the person she liked to come back, her fate was already dominated by others, she couldn't do it, she couldn't even struggle.
This script is even more bloody.
Hengniang's mother loves her, and on the day Hengniang was forced to marry, Hengniang finally plucked up the courage to resist.
But how much energy can an old mother have, watching her daughter being snatched away helplessly, Heng mother was helpless, full of unwillingness and grief, she slammed her head into the mouth of the well.
Seeing this, I don't know how many people there are, and my heart is shocked.
How many mothers in the world, like this constant mother, endured this unwilling fate, and even resisted so insignificantly.
A sense of powerlessness, a suppressed and breathless feeling of being manipulated by fate, arises spontaneously.
And that hooligan didn't even look at the old mother who was killed at the mouth of the well.
Since hitting the mouth of the well, even the yamen just collected the corpses hastily, without causing even the slightest disturbance, which made people feel panicked.
They felt that the script seemed to be expressing something, but they couldn't say it, but they could feel that they were one with Heng Niang and Heng Mother in the book.
Heng Niang was forcibly married to someone, and her life was even worse. That local ruffian is a scumbag. He is not a good person.
It was so heart-wrenching to watch, my heart ached beyond words.
However, the turning point of the matter also came, Heng Niang's favorite person became an official, and came back to find that ingenious, kind-hearted Heng Niang.
But Heng Niang is already married.
I don't know how many people are regretting and bitter, why is it so wrong.
But... I was looking forward to something for no reason in my heart.
This book is indeed bolder than "The Story of Yu Niang".
In Mo Shaoheng's mind, what about marrying a woman?
If the marriage is so dissatisfied, why continue to do it?
People, regardless of men and women, should live for happiness.
So in the following content, a group of women are watching with trepidation.
It feels a little wrong, but it's so cool to watch.
Especially seeing that Heng Niang finally broke off her marriage with that scoundrel, remarried her beloved, and lived an enviable happy life.
Swallowing her saliva, if a woman remarries, she will be gossiped about.
But why did Heng Niang in the book look so comfortable?
It's like, this is also very good, and it should be like this.
It was a shock of thought.
As soon as "Biography of Heng Niang" came out, there were more voices discussing it than "Biography of Yu Niang".
After all, Yu Niang represents noble daughters, and the most numerous women in this world are women from ordinary families.
Heng Niang represents them.
The topic of discussion set off an unimaginable wave in Liangjing.
Many people are still giving examples, "In our village, there used to be a girl like Heng Niang. She was also a good girl, but she was forced to marry a ruffian in the village."
"She was not as lucky as Heng Niang. In the end, she didn't survive and was thrown into the well."
"Our village also has them, and they hanged themselves directly..."
"Our girls are suffering."
"Heng Niang in the book has a bitter fate, but it is also enviable."
"She finally dared to take that step."
Dull, depressing, and it seems that some storm is brewing.
However, amidst these discussions, there were some discordant voices.
"Could it be that Mo Shaoheng had a private relationship with a girl who was engaged to a family, and that's why he wrote these nonsense things?"
When Mo Shaoheng got the news, the rumor spread in the market.
Mo Shaoheng frowned.
It spread so fast, and he didn't believe that there was no one behind the scenes to fuel the flames.
Behind the seemingly calm Liangjing, there always seems to be a force against him.
Every time he saw something promising, he would come out and push him to the edge of the cliff.
But for such rumors, Mo Shaoheng snorted and even gave a positive answer.
"Whether it's Heng Niang or Yu Niang, it's about my Beiliang girl, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Those who heard it couldn't help but be taken aback, how can the script still write like this?Not referring to one person?
But think about it, that Heng Niang, Yu Niang, seems to have really experienced the experiences of all the girls in Beiliang. They are individual individuals, and they are also representatives of Beiliang women.
The news fermented again and was pushed to a climax, in a direction that no one could have imagined. .
And the wedding date of Li Hanlin's mansion and Zhou's mansion of Yushi doctor has arrived.
If there are many women in Liangjing who have the same fate as Heng Niang Yu Niang, then Li Ningxiang is one of them.
Li Ningxiang's jump at the mouth of the well made the whole Liangjing know about it.
Now, after the appearance of "Biography of Yu Niang" and "Biography of Heng Niang", Li Ningxiang was forced to marry that inappropriate young gentleman of Zhou Mansion.
This is not Heng Niang Yu Niang alive.
It's a pity that Li Ningxiang doesn't have the kind man in the book who can lead her out of bad luck.
On this day, the wedding sedan chair set off from Li's mansion.
What people didn't expect was that the Beiliang women who watched along the road and on the street included old women, middle-aged women, and young girls.
There were obviously a lot of people, but it was eerily quiet.
Looking at the sedan chair moving forward amidst the joyous sign, an unknown number of people clutched their hearts tightly.
An unspeakable pain, from the inside out, like a needle piercing their hearts.
Yu Niang and Heng Niang made them cry so much that they couldn't sleep all night.
But now, they seemed to be watching Yu Niang and Heng Niang get married.
The wedding sedan moved forward little by little, but they did not wait for Li Ningxiang's lover to come to help her out.
In front of the wedding sedan chair, sitting on a horse, the young gentleman of the Zhou family with a sickly face was full of sarcasm.
What about Yu Niang Heng Niang, women should be like this.
With the marriage certificate in hand, there is no reason to regret it.
Since ancient times, women have always married chickens and dogs as chickens, and dogs as dogs. They still want to fall in love freely and choose their own husbands. Fortunately, Mo Shaoheng can figure it out.
Women should be obedient and obedient, and then marry, carry on the family line, and abide by women's rules.
It is already close to Zhou Mansion.
I don't know why, the tearing in everyone's heart is getting stronger and stronger.
The script is still the script after all, and those happy endings can never happen in reality.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng who was also looking at the wedding sedan chair on the second floor: "..."
The old soldier next to him frowned, "My lord, don't do anything stupid."
If the eldest son of their family is in the early stage, it will be confirmed that the two books written by the elder son have a purpose, and they are taught and received privately.
This is a big problem.
However, once Li Ningxiang was carried into the Zhou Mansion, there was no turning back.
Mo Shaoheng smiled, "Look at me to add this last fire."
Hands on the strings.
The wedding sedan chair is about to be carried into Zhou Mansion.
At this time, suddenly the sound of the piano sounded, getting louder and louder, shaking the surrounding beams as if they were trembling, and the sound of the piano sounded far away.
Listen carefully, and it is "The Book of Songs·Ge Tan".
This is a song of blessing when a woman gets married.
With the best wishes in the world.
The sound of the piano is together.
"Woo!" A woman actually covered her mouth and sobbed.
Where is this the best wish, obviously...Obviously as long as one enters this gate, the bride on the wedding sedan chair will be bogged down in a quagmire, and there will be no future for her.
Irony, it's too ironic.
I don't know which luthier without conscience came to play such a tune at this time.
"Wow!"
The sobbing sound became one piece.
It's hard to imagine what it looks like now.
Vientiane Airport gave away the wedding sedan chair, and everyone cried heart-piercingly.
It seems that all the depression, aggrieved, and unwillingness that these women have accumulated in their hearts have been vented at this moment.
This person who plays the piano is too inhuman, doesn't he have any sympathy?
What made them even more sad was that wedding sedan chairs began to enter the house.
No, you can't!
The tearing cry in my heart is unwillingness and powerlessness to fate.
If... If I have such a little bit of strength, I must step forward, I must step forward to stop this woman's fate like a nightmare.
Such an idea, I don't know how many people think of it.
At this time, there was a sudden exclamation, and an old woman with a cane stood in front of the wedding sedan chair.
Everyone's voices were silenced, only the sound of the piano resounded on the long street.
The old woman was standing there with a cane.
The bridegroom officer of the Zhou family had a wicked look on his face, "Which old man dares to block the way, come, and don't drag her down."
But no one around answered.
Seeing a little waiter next to him, he trembled in fright, "Young...Young master, don't talk nonsense."
"This... This is the daughter of Mr. Huaishan, the first-rank imperial order granted by the previous court, Mrs. Ronghua."
The edict of the previous dynasty is also recognized by this dynasty, only Mrs. Ronghua.
What is Mr. Huaishan to Beiliang?
The groves of locust trees outside the city of Liangjing are witnesses. They were planted by Liangjing people, one tree per person, outside the city, in memory of Mr. Huaishan's kindness.
But now, how could Mr. Huaishan's daughter be humiliated in person?Even a saint needs three points of admiration.
The old lady glanced at the bridegroom officer who was on the horse, but said nothing, but looked at the wedding sedan chair parked in front.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for your beloved today."
The hearts of the people around were tugged, and the pain was severe.
The old woman continued, "But... you have waited."
The crutch in his hand stomped on the ground and made a buzzing sound.
"As long as you say no today, the old lady is willing to exchange this order for your freedom for the rest of your life."
hiss!
Be quiet, be quiet!
The old woman actually wanted to return the royal seal to the imperial court.
In order, just to prevent such a marriage.
The sound of the piano became more urgent.
The wind blew the curtains.
Now let's see if Li Ningxiang on the wedding sedan chair dares to take this step.
Everyone looked at Xijiao, but their hearts were shocked.
In the wedding sedan chair, a bride in a big red robe, with sharp scissors in her hand, had already reached her neck.
Tears are like scattered bead curtains.
Li Ningxiang's hoarse voice sounded like a roar.
"I don't want to marry into this door. When I enter the door, it is when I die."
"I, Li Ningxiang, only marry the one I wish."
A well-educated girl, at this moment, is like a madman.
hum!
The sound of the piano shook the dust from the eaves.
Whoa!
She... took that step, just like Yu Niang Heng Niang in the script.
And compared to what I saw in the books, the scene in front of me was even more shocking.
It is because of the imperial seal of the first rank of Mr. Huaishan's daughter, and the fearless chastity of showing her ambition through death, that she has come to this step.
It's so rare and so hard.
Immediately, the young gentleman of the Zhou family was stunned, his face darkened, what did he think of him?
A joke in plain sight?
Loudly said, "I have the marriage certificate in my hand, what are you guys doing? If the marriage doesn't work out today, it will be done."
"My Zhou Mansion welcomes relatives according to the etiquette rules, you..."
Before he finished speaking, it was as if the strings in everyone's hearts had been torn.
The surrounding women, one by one, stood in front of the gate of the mansion.
It was a silent protest.
The young gentleman of the Zhou family: "You... you bastards..."
For the last two words, after glancing at the old woman, he swallowed his breath again.
If Mr. Huaishan's daughters are all Diaofu, what are his Beiliang's daughters?
The old woman said, "Take the sedan chair back. Whether or not the marriage will be successful is up to you today."
The sound of the piano also stopped.
The old soldier next to him opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Mo Shaoheng smiled, "It's true that Li Ningxiang didn't get her lover, but...she did."
"The women in this world who share the same destiny as her are all her lovers."
"It's true that this marriage is not something that can be settled just by his Zhou Mansion or Li Manor's words."
veteran:"……"
Mo Shaoheng said again, "Get ready, the real trouble is about to begin."
Sure enough, after a while, someone from the palace came over, "The sage Jin Zhao, summoned the admonisher Mo Shaoheng to go to the Golden Palace quickly."
Mo Shaoheng smiled wryly, the sage Jin Zhao, and all people from Beiliang, even if they were about to die on the bed, they had to be carried to the Golden Hall.
Even though he didn't show up when he played the piece just now, people would definitely recognize the sound of the eternally famous Qin Chunlei.
What's more, "Biography of Yu Niang" and "Biography of Heng Niang" were written by him, so it is inevitable that they will end up in this situation.
Mo Shaoheng glanced out the window, the wedding sedan must have been unable to enter the mansion, but was being carried towards the Golden Palace.
Madam Ronghua also got into the sedan chair and headed for the Golden Palace.
Zhou Zhengan, the censor who hurried out, also boarded the sedan chair.
He probably never thought that the wedding banquet he had planned for his son with all his heart would even cause trouble in front of the saint.
At this moment, Li Hanlin did the same, walking towards the Golden Palace.
Mo Shaoheng didn't dare to neglect, and said, "Have the things I prepared ready?"
The veteran asked someone to fetch a box, "It's all here."
Mo Shaoheng took the box and took a deep breath.
After so much trouble, it's time for the storm to hit the shore.
……
The Golden Temple today.
Silent.
Because this should be the weirdest court meeting they have ever seen.
In everyone's mind, an ordinary marriage unexpectedly went straight to the Golden Palace.
But it has to be like this, the voice of the people has risen, there is no conclusion, no complaints from the people, and at this time, Mr. Huaishan's daughter is actually involved.
The imperial order of the first grade, where the imperial court said it could be taken back, it represented too much significance. When Beiliang was just established, it was Mrs. Ronghua who stabilized the scholars.
All the parties were present, including Li Ningxiang in a wedding dress.
Madam Ronghua was comforting Li Ningxiang, "Don't be afraid, the top of the Golden Palace has its own opinions, no matter how bad it is, you will not be allowed to marry the Zhou Mansion."
Li Ningxiang gritted her teeth, but she seemed to be much firmer than expected.
Perhaps Mo Shaoheng didn't even think that it was Yu Niang and Heng Niang in his book who gave her such courage.
At this time, Zhou Zheng'an, the imperial historian, stepped forward and said, "Sage, I have sued Mo Shaoheng, the eldest son of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion today, for being reckless and arrogant, disregarding etiquette, disrespecting ethics, and privately destroying other people's marriages. The ethics of Beiliang are corrupt, and morality does not exist, so how can they stand in the kingdoms with face..."
Mo Shaoheng was taken aback, why did he only sue him?Why not sue Mrs. Ronghua as well.
It's really a persimmon looking for a soft pinch.
The voice of the sage came from the superior, "The Ministry of Rites will accept the case, and all the ministers will hear it."
Zhou Zheng'an was happy, and the Ministry of Rites accepted the case. He still didn't believe that Mo Shaoheng could break the etiquette and rules of this world.
Today, his Zhou Mansion suffered such a great humiliation, such a big joke was made on the wedding day, the marriage must end if it doesn't end.
Zhou Zhengan looked at Wen Shouzhi, "May I ask Mr. Wen, according to my Beiliang ethics, is there anything wrong with my son's marriage contract with Li Hanlin's daughter?"
"If there is nothing wrong with it, is it wrong to hold it as scheduled?"
Wen Shouzhi glanced at Zhou Zhengan, this matter is not as simple as a family marriage.
He deals with the rules and regulations every day, and only he can clearly see what kind of shocking things Mo Shaoheng is doing with this excuse.
This was hidden under the surface, and he was terrified when he saw the storm he wanted to stir up.
He even couldn't help but take a look at Mo Shaoheng, they all said that Mo Shaoheng was brilliant and magnificent, but he saw that the heart that was different from the world was the biggest variable in Beiliang.
Mo Shaoheng also noticed Wen Shouzhi's gaze.
The old man's eyes... so weird.
But there is a kind of wisdom that can see through people's hearts, as if it is beyond the world, and it makes people's soul tremble.
Mo Shaoheng handed over, and Zhou Zhengan couldn't let Zhou Zhengan talk about the truth alone.
What's more, what Zhou Zhengan said is quite reasonable, there is no one holding a wedding, you go to disturb others, and you don't want to be so angry that the three corpses jump.
Mo Shaoheng said, "May I ask Mr. Wen, what is the meaning of the existence of ethics in this world?"
He continued, "Whether it is ethics or etiquette, it is all for us to behave politely and abide by morality."
"What is the reason for scholars to temper their moral character and abide by the code of conduct?"
"At the end of the day, it's also for rectifying nature, clarifying human relations, and enlightening education."
"But now, in my Beiliang, my parents arranged marriages and decided their lives with one word, so many women ended up in a miserable life."
"Women from Beiliang are also citizens of Beiliang. Are they not worthy of a good life, or what?"
"They obviously don't want to marry the person they want to marry, but their parents force them for their own selfishness. In my opinion, this is not a sign of enlightenment."
Silent.
Even Wen Shouzhi was stunned.
Things that are easy to understand in the eyes of modern people, but in their eyes, it is a new idea.
Thinking is the most difficult thing to explain.
Zhou Zhengan laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's only natural for parents to arrange marriages for their children. Why do you say that parents in this world want to push their children into the fire pit?"
"It doesn't make sense."
Such a rebellious statement dared to speak out on the Golden Palace.
Mo Shaoheng also smiled, offering his hand to the saint, and then to Wen Shouyi, and said, "It is naturally good for parents to arrange a happy marriage for their children."
"I also believe that all parents in this world are for the good of their children."
"But what if something goes wrong accidentally?"
Mo Shaoheng did not wait for others to answer, and continued, "For example, Li Xiangning from Li Hanlin's family."
"Li Xiangning doesn't want to marry, she has reached the point of showing her ambition by death."
"The Li family also intends to withdraw the engagement."
"But some people want to rely on their marriage contract to ruin their lives. Is this also the desired result of ethical education?"
"In my opinion, this is a defilement of moral education."
"Ethical education follows the people-oriented approach, rather than misinterpreting it as something that harms people."
Everyone: "..."
Zhou Zheng'an, "Heh, according to your son, it's still a great thing for people not to keep their promises?"
Mo Shaoheng replied: "People should keep their word and do what they say."
"But since the marriage contract has come to the point of tearing apart the face, it should be resolved."
"Li Hanlin broke his promise, he should pay the price, but he should not sacrifice a woman to fulfill his loyalty."
Everyone was stunned, they thought Mo Shaoheng would always help Li Hanlin, but they didn't expect...
Mo Shaoheng continued, "I don't know if what I said is reasonable? Faithfulness is important, but there is no reason to take a woman's life to fulfill it."
"This……"
Everyone thought, this is what they should answer?What is it for them to sacrifice a woman for the sake of faithfulness?
Even if you think so in your heart, you can't answer like that.
At this time, Wen Shouzhi said, "With a family matter, criticize the thousands of years of rules, and don't take it as evidence."
Hit the nail on the head.
As far as the affairs of Zhou Zhengan and Li Hanlin's family are concerned, to put it bluntly, they are also their family affairs. In the face of ethical dogma, they are nothing.
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, here we come.
Is Mo Shaoheng afraid of fighting a royal doctor?No, what he is afraid of is this torrent, an unstoppable dogma.
To shake this torrent is like shaking the heaven and the earth.
Mo Shaoheng couldn't shake the heavens and earth, but he could open a small stream beside the torrent.
Slowly figure it out, everyone knows the reason that if you take too big a step, you will sprain your feet. Although the big leap is shocking, it can also push people directly into the abyss.
Mo Shaoheng directly opened the box in his hand, and then took out the paper inside.
Stacks of paper, smelly and long.
Mo Shaoheng took out a long stack of paper and asked the officer on duty to hand it to the saint.
Then he personally handed over the rest, one by one, to Wen Shouzhi, to Mrs. Ronghua, to the Minister of the Palace, and even to Li Ningxiang.
On paper, it is clearly listed.
"In the third year of Zhengyuan, at the Li family in Shuanglu Lane, Liangjing, the youngest girl was hanged on the beam on the day she got married."
"In the third year of the Zhengyuan period, at the Zhao family in Xixia Lane, Liangjing, the three daughters hung themselves to death on the day they got married."
"..."
It was so dense that it filled a whole sheet of paper.
Mo Shaoheng said, "This is just the tragedy that happened in Liangjing in the third year of Zhengyuan."
"Not to mention, every year, there are many such cases in various places in Beiliang."
"These are the fates of my Beiliang girls who were forced to marry and ended up in the end."
Mo Shaoheng raised his voice, "Everyone, do you think the paper in your hands is heavy?"
"Every name is the wronged soul of my Beiliang girl."
"It's all... human life."
Beside, Li Ningxiang sobbed.
Originally, she would be just a name on this paper today.
Like these women who died unwillingly, they were unknown.
Madam Ronghua also sighed.
The number is so large, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shocking.
The hall was so quiet that no one dared to speak.
In normal times, a murder case would be a major case in the Jingdong government office.
And here, densely packed.
Because they all committed suicide due to repression, at most they just went to the Yamen to register and explain the cause of death.
Mo Shaoheng said, "These are all taken from the household register of the yamen. If you don't believe me, you can go and check it yourself."
Everyone: "..."
Dare to bring it up to the Golden Palace, what Mo Shaoheng said is probably true.
This amount is also a bit too much.
Suddenly, someone whispered, "Is there any way to do this, it's their own choice..."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Shaoheng said harshly, "Does this lord have no female relatives in his family? Or did this thing not happen in your house?"
"It is said that everyone in the palace is my parents' officials in Beiliang. In the face of so many lives, they can still say such words. What kind of parents' officials are they?"
"They chose to die, but... just can't see why they ended their young lives?"
The official blushed, "Mo Shaoheng, you..."
Mo Shaoheng took a deep breath, "When the ants are still alive, let alone individual people, if it is not really the time when they are desperate, why are they here, it is sad and lamentable."
Mo Shaoheng looked at Wen Shouzhi again, "Master Wen, do you think they deserve to die too?"
Wen Shouzhi was speechless for a while.
No one dared to trample on the lives of these women at this time.
Morality and ethics are not something that is used to persecute human life.
Mo Shaoheng directly bowed his hand in the direction of the sage, "I also ask the sage to uphold justice for Li Xiangning and dissolve this untimely marriage contract, lest there be any more grievances on this blank paper in front of the sage and all the adults."
Li Xiangning's grievance also reached the extreme, crying so much that she couldn't stand still, and fell to the ground directly.
At this time, Li Xiangning was no longer Li Xiangning, she represented Beiliang, a woman who shared a common destiny, crying to the top of the golden palace.
There was a miserable sound.
Everyone also looked at the saint.
They also know that this is no longer a matter of rescinding a marriage contract. After this start, there will be a precedent for the in-laws set in Beiliang to be rescinded. If you want to get rid of it, as long as the other party disagrees, you must continue to implement it, and don't even think about getting rid of it until you die.
Quiet.
There is no precedent for forcibly rescinding an engagement.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng glanced at Li Hanlin.
Li Hanlin opened his mouth and sighed one last time.
Because of his daughter's marriage contract, he was also in a state of desperation, causing the whole house to be in turmoil.
Glancing at the crying daughter, I remembered the scene where my daughter was wearing a wedding gown and holding scissors in the sedan chair.
Finally, he stepped forward, "Sage, I, Li Niang, broke my promise first, and I would like to use half of my family wealth to break up this marriage contract for my little girl. I only regret that I was too aggressive at the beginning and made this marriage prematurely for my little girl, which led to today's situation." A miserable end..."
The figure is a little bent.
Needle drop is audible.
Li Ningxiang cried even harder. Her father loved her after all, and she couldn't help but think of the scene where her father hugged her when she was a child and bought the sugar man. At that time, her father was so tall and stalwart.
How lucky she is.
At this time, the voice of the sage came, "The Zhou and Li families have nothing to worry about from now on."
The paper presented by Mo Shaoheng was too heavy, it was human life.
They are all his citizens in Beiliang.
It was a bit too unfair to die.
Sadly.
Zhou Zhengan opened his mouth, "Saint..."
Is this engagement really broken?
What about his son?
But the decision made by the sage, how could he question it.
Zhou Zhengan looked at Wen Shouzhi again.
Wen Shouzhi also sighed, Li Hanlin had already paid half of his family's wealth for breaking his promise.
At this time, Li Ningxiang represented the thousands of unfortunate women in Beiliang. Even if he only said a word, it meant that countless women would still have to die on this road.
He couldn't open the mouth, the paper in his hand was too heavy.
He suppressed his mouth, what's more, this is only a part of it, he can't believe how many women died because of it.
And those who are not dead, what kind of life will they live.
At this time, the sage said, "What can Zhou Qing say?"
Zhou Zhengan: "..."
After a while, Zhou Zhengan gritted his teeth, "There is a rift between Li Fu and I, so this marriage contract will be dissolved."
"But the loyalty and trustworthiness of the world cannot be disregarded. How can money be able to speak clearly."
In front of loyalty, money is nothing.
Zhou Zhengan suddenly looked at Mo Shaoheng, don't think he doesn't know, all of this is caused by Mo Shaoheng.
He had lost such a big embarrassment, his son had a hard time, and Mo Shaoheng couldn't even think about it.
Zhou Zheng'an continued, "But...the relationship between Zhenbei Palace and Yan Palace is very good, let alone a gap, they even opened a ranch together."
Mo Shaoheng was taken aback, what does Zhou Zhengan mean?
"Therefore, the loyalty between Zhenbei Palace and Yan Palace cannot be broken no matter what."
"I don't know the reason for breaking the engagement either."
"And Mo Shaoheng and King Yan are long past the age of normal marriage."
"To prove loyalty, to prove the ethics of this world, I also ask the sage to let Mo Shaoheng and King Yan get married as soon as possible."
He gritted his teeth, he didn't care about anything now, he was going to drag Mo Shaoheng into the water, how could he be so easy to bully the Yushi Zhoufu.
"puff!"
Mo Shaoheng was stunned and almost spit out a mouthful of saliva.
What nonsense is Zhou Zhengan talking about?
Mo Shaoheng was about to speak.
Zhou Zhengan said to Wen Shouzhi, "May I ask Mr. Wen, is there any reason for the marriage contract between Zhenbei Wangfu and Yanwangfu to be terminated?"
Wen Shouzhi glanced at Zhou Zhengan, who seemed to be insane. If ordinary people were so stimulated, they would probably be like Zhou Zhengan.
After thinking about it, the Zhou Mansion and the Li Mansion forcibly terminated their engagement today, using the grounds that they have lost their loyalty and trust. People must have faith, and without faith they cannot stand.
He answered with one word, "No."
Even if it is to be dissolved, the dowager who made the marriage contract must come later, and the dowager has already gone first.
Unless Mo Shaoheng can take out something as heavy as the paper in his hand to convince everyone, otherwise this marriage contract is logically unbreakable.
Zhou Zhengan said again, "According to the rules of etiquette, should Mo Shaoheng and King Yan have already gotten married?"
Wen Shouzhi said "En".
In terms of age, both Mo Shaoheng and King Yan are over twenty, long past the age of marriage and establishment.
If the children of poor families did not have such a small card, they would probably attract strange looks.
Perhaps for the aristocrats, the library is just a novel place, but for the poor, it can meet the convenience they could not imagine before.
With more and more people reading books, and with the books in the library, Mo Shaoheng moved here and there to borrow and borrow, and the number and types became more and more exaggerated, and people talked about it.
Mo Shaoheng also allowed the library to open the rules that books can be borrowed.
There is no way, there are too many people who come to read a book in a day, and it is impossible to sit down.
It was still dark now, and there were children from poor families who came and waited. They sat for a whole day, and there was no place for those who came later.
If it is too crowded and noisy, it will affect the quality of the library, so Mo Shaoheng's rule is to let people in according to their location in the room.
This greatly reduces the number of people to accommodate.
That's why Mo Shaoheng started the mode of borrowing books.
There is a penalty system for borrowing books, such as late return, such as damage, and a certain amount of points will be deducted each time. When the points reach a certain number, the membership card in the other party's hand will be withdrawn.
It may be said to be an accident if it is damaged once or twice, but if there are too many times, it may not be just an accident, but a lack of cherishment at all.
With the busy traffic in front of the library, Mo Shaoheng's "Biography of Yu Niang" finally reached Wen Shouzhi's hands.
Sure enough, the next day, people from Liangjing Yamen came to seal the book.
Everyone frowned.
The library is an elegant place for scholars, and it is a place that many scholars envy.
Mo Shaoheng's move, in their opinion, already has the momentum of Mr. Huaishan's promotion of culture and education in Beiliang.
Therefore, people from the yamen came to seal the book, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
But... They also listened to the "Biography of Yu Niang" on the second floor, and it was indeed a bit unethical.
If only people who considered libraries holy places found it slightly uncomfortable to close books.
The noble ladies and ladies in Liangjing felt that their flesh was being cut.
In their hearts, Yu Niang was very different. Although her life was bitter, she lived the way they wanted.
When they read the story book, it was as if she had transformed into Yu Niang in the book. For some reason, they could always find something to empathize with.
In fact, Yu Niang described by Mo Shaoheng is the incarnation of women in this era. She brings together all the things that women may experience.
It is not surprising to find empathy from her.
But now, it's going to be blocked?
There were murmurs of resentment.
It's hard for them to say whether Wen Shou is responsible, but they dare to yell at the Yamen.
"Do nothing for a day."
I heard that the people in the yamen are walking on the street, and even the old women in their eighties will poke them.
"Does your family have no mother or no daughter?"
"I can't see how others are doing well."
It was a blast to hear.
But those who dare to go forward and whisper are more or less not afraid of them.
They just muttered that no one could do anything to them.
The topic of discussion also gradually changed from Yu Niang herself to the issue of the woman's marriage.
Yu Niang's sentence "Yu Niang's whole life, she only wants to marry the person she likes..."
Too touching and poignant.
Is it true that their women only have the choice of being arranged to marry and live an uncertain life?
Yu Niang can finally achieve consummation, why can't they?
Mo Shaoheng also paid attention to the wind direction outside, this is what he wanted.
I didn't even dare to discuss such issues before, but now I dare, this is progress...
Although this kind of progress is only a small step, but it accumulates over time and steadily, there will always be a time when ashes accumulate.
A book called "The Story of Yu Niang" is missing in the library, and a group of noble ladies are still lamenting.
Mo Shaoheng took another script book called "The Biography of Heng Niang" and asked the old lady to put it on the second floor.
He stared at a group of noble girls in a daze.
Mo Shaoheng only said: "The story book, if I can write one book, I can write the second one, and I still have tens of millions here."
"Unless the imperial court is full and has nothing to do, it will issue a special law that prevents people from writing scripts."
A group of people: "..."
This time "Heng Niang Biography" is a little different.
If it is said that Yu Niang represents a noble girl with a rough fate, then Heng Niang represents the daughters of ordinary people.
Heng Niang comes from a poor family, but she is beautiful and kind-hearted. Her family is jade, especially her cooking skills, which are full of praise.
This is because Mo Shaoheng's restaurant that specializes in selling pork dishes is about to open, and he has a little personal work involved.
In the book, several dishes of Heng Niang's meeting are written very clearly, they are as delicious as the dishes in the sky, and there are additional recipes.
Mo Shaoheng is selling pork.
But... Blessings come with misfortunes, and Heng Niang also encountered the misfortune that every girl in Beiliang may encounter.
The person she secretly likes is going to Beijing to take the exam, and her father married her to a local ruffian.
Even at the moment before she got married, Heng Niang didn't know it at all, she was still waiting for the person she liked to come back, her fate was already dominated by others, she couldn't do it, she couldn't even struggle.
This script is even more bloody.
Hengniang's mother loves her, and on the day Hengniang was forced to marry, Hengniang finally plucked up the courage to resist.
But how much energy can an old mother have, watching her daughter being snatched away helplessly, Heng mother was helpless, full of unwillingness and grief, she slammed her head into the mouth of the well.
Seeing this, I don't know how many people there are, and my heart is shocked.
How many mothers in the world, like this constant mother, endured this unwilling fate, and even resisted so insignificantly.
A sense of powerlessness, a suppressed and breathless feeling of being manipulated by fate, arises spontaneously.
And that hooligan didn't even look at the old mother who was killed at the mouth of the well.
Since hitting the mouth of the well, even the yamen just collected the corpses hastily, without causing even the slightest disturbance, which made people feel panicked.
They felt that the script seemed to be expressing something, but they couldn't say it, but they could feel that they were one with Heng Niang and Heng Mother in the book.
Heng Niang was forcibly married to someone, and her life was even worse. That local ruffian is a scumbag. He is not a good person.
It was so heart-wrenching to watch, my heart ached beyond words.
However, the turning point of the matter also came, Heng Niang's favorite person became an official, and came back to find that ingenious, kind-hearted Heng Niang.
But Heng Niang is already married.
I don't know how many people are regretting and bitter, why is it so wrong.
But... I was looking forward to something for no reason in my heart.
This book is indeed bolder than "The Story of Yu Niang".
In Mo Shaoheng's mind, what about marrying a woman?
If the marriage is so dissatisfied, why continue to do it?
People, regardless of men and women, should live for happiness.
So in the following content, a group of women are watching with trepidation.
It feels a little wrong, but it's so cool to watch.
Especially seeing that Heng Niang finally broke off her marriage with that scoundrel, remarried her beloved, and lived an enviable happy life.
Swallowing her saliva, if a woman remarries, she will be gossiped about.
But why did Heng Niang in the book look so comfortable?
It's like, this is also very good, and it should be like this.
It was a shock of thought.
As soon as "Biography of Heng Niang" came out, there were more voices discussing it than "Biography of Yu Niang".
After all, Yu Niang represents noble daughters, and the most numerous women in this world are women from ordinary families.
Heng Niang represents them.
The topic of discussion set off an unimaginable wave in Liangjing.
Many people are still giving examples, "In our village, there used to be a girl like Heng Niang. She was also a good girl, but she was forced to marry a ruffian in the village."
"She was not as lucky as Heng Niang. In the end, she didn't survive and was thrown into the well."
"Our village also has them, and they hanged themselves directly..."
"Our girls are suffering."
"Heng Niang in the book has a bitter fate, but it is also enviable."
"She finally dared to take that step."
Dull, depressing, and it seems that some storm is brewing.
However, amidst these discussions, there were some discordant voices.
"Could it be that Mo Shaoheng had a private relationship with a girl who was engaged to a family, and that's why he wrote these nonsense things?"
When Mo Shaoheng got the news, the rumor spread in the market.
Mo Shaoheng frowned.
It spread so fast, and he didn't believe that there was no one behind the scenes to fuel the flames.
Behind the seemingly calm Liangjing, there always seems to be a force against him.
Every time he saw something promising, he would come out and push him to the edge of the cliff.
But for such rumors, Mo Shaoheng snorted and even gave a positive answer.
"Whether it's Heng Niang or Yu Niang, it's about my Beiliang girl, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Those who heard it couldn't help but be taken aback, how can the script still write like this?Not referring to one person?
But think about it, that Heng Niang, Yu Niang, seems to have really experienced the experiences of all the girls in Beiliang. They are individual individuals, and they are also representatives of Beiliang women.
The news fermented again and was pushed to a climax, in a direction that no one could have imagined. .
And the wedding date of Li Hanlin's mansion and Zhou's mansion of Yushi doctor has arrived.
If there are many women in Liangjing who have the same fate as Heng Niang Yu Niang, then Li Ningxiang is one of them.
Li Ningxiang's jump at the mouth of the well made the whole Liangjing know about it.
Now, after the appearance of "Biography of Yu Niang" and "Biography of Heng Niang", Li Ningxiang was forced to marry that inappropriate young gentleman of Zhou Mansion.
This is not Heng Niang Yu Niang alive.
It's a pity that Li Ningxiang doesn't have the kind man in the book who can lead her out of bad luck.
On this day, the wedding sedan chair set off from Li's mansion.
What people didn't expect was that the Beiliang women who watched along the road and on the street included old women, middle-aged women, and young girls.
There were obviously a lot of people, but it was eerily quiet.
Looking at the sedan chair moving forward amidst the joyous sign, an unknown number of people clutched their hearts tightly.
An unspeakable pain, from the inside out, like a needle piercing their hearts.
Yu Niang and Heng Niang made them cry so much that they couldn't sleep all night.
But now, they seemed to be watching Yu Niang and Heng Niang get married.
The wedding sedan moved forward little by little, but they did not wait for Li Ningxiang's lover to come to help her out.
In front of the wedding sedan chair, sitting on a horse, the young gentleman of the Zhou family with a sickly face was full of sarcasm.
What about Yu Niang Heng Niang, women should be like this.
With the marriage certificate in hand, there is no reason to regret it.
Since ancient times, women have always married chickens and dogs as chickens, and dogs as dogs. They still want to fall in love freely and choose their own husbands. Fortunately, Mo Shaoheng can figure it out.
Women should be obedient and obedient, and then marry, carry on the family line, and abide by women's rules.
It is already close to Zhou Mansion.
I don't know why, the tearing in everyone's heart is getting stronger and stronger.
The script is still the script after all, and those happy endings can never happen in reality.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng who was also looking at the wedding sedan chair on the second floor: "..."
The old soldier next to him frowned, "My lord, don't do anything stupid."
If the eldest son of their family is in the early stage, it will be confirmed that the two books written by the elder son have a purpose, and they are taught and received privately.
This is a big problem.
However, once Li Ningxiang was carried into the Zhou Mansion, there was no turning back.
Mo Shaoheng smiled, "Look at me to add this last fire."
Hands on the strings.
The wedding sedan chair is about to be carried into Zhou Mansion.
At this time, suddenly the sound of the piano sounded, getting louder and louder, shaking the surrounding beams as if they were trembling, and the sound of the piano sounded far away.
Listen carefully, and it is "The Book of Songs·Ge Tan".
This is a song of blessing when a woman gets married.
With the best wishes in the world.
The sound of the piano is together.
"Woo!" A woman actually covered her mouth and sobbed.
Where is this the best wish, obviously...Obviously as long as one enters this gate, the bride on the wedding sedan chair will be bogged down in a quagmire, and there will be no future for her.
Irony, it's too ironic.
I don't know which luthier without conscience came to play such a tune at this time.
"Wow!"
The sobbing sound became one piece.
It's hard to imagine what it looks like now.
Vientiane Airport gave away the wedding sedan chair, and everyone cried heart-piercingly.
It seems that all the depression, aggrieved, and unwillingness that these women have accumulated in their hearts have been vented at this moment.
This person who plays the piano is too inhuman, doesn't he have any sympathy?
What made them even more sad was that wedding sedan chairs began to enter the house.
No, you can't!
The tearing cry in my heart is unwillingness and powerlessness to fate.
If... If I have such a little bit of strength, I must step forward, I must step forward to stop this woman's fate like a nightmare.
Such an idea, I don't know how many people think of it.
At this time, there was a sudden exclamation, and an old woman with a cane stood in front of the wedding sedan chair.
Everyone's voices were silenced, only the sound of the piano resounded on the long street.
The old woman was standing there with a cane.
The bridegroom officer of the Zhou family had a wicked look on his face, "Which old man dares to block the way, come, and don't drag her down."
But no one around answered.
Seeing a little waiter next to him, he trembled in fright, "Young...Young master, don't talk nonsense."
"This... This is the daughter of Mr. Huaishan, the first-rank imperial order granted by the previous court, Mrs. Ronghua."
The edict of the previous dynasty is also recognized by this dynasty, only Mrs. Ronghua.
What is Mr. Huaishan to Beiliang?
The groves of locust trees outside the city of Liangjing are witnesses. They were planted by Liangjing people, one tree per person, outside the city, in memory of Mr. Huaishan's kindness.
But now, how could Mr. Huaishan's daughter be humiliated in person?Even a saint needs three points of admiration.
The old lady glanced at the bridegroom officer who was on the horse, but said nothing, but looked at the wedding sedan chair parked in front.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for your beloved today."
The hearts of the people around were tugged, and the pain was severe.
The old woman continued, "But... you have waited."
The crutch in his hand stomped on the ground and made a buzzing sound.
"As long as you say no today, the old lady is willing to exchange this order for your freedom for the rest of your life."
hiss!
Be quiet, be quiet!
The old woman actually wanted to return the royal seal to the imperial court.
In order, just to prevent such a marriage.
The sound of the piano became more urgent.
The wind blew the curtains.
Now let's see if Li Ningxiang on the wedding sedan chair dares to take this step.
Everyone looked at Xijiao, but their hearts were shocked.
In the wedding sedan chair, a bride in a big red robe, with sharp scissors in her hand, had already reached her neck.
Tears are like scattered bead curtains.
Li Ningxiang's hoarse voice sounded like a roar.
"I don't want to marry into this door. When I enter the door, it is when I die."
"I, Li Ningxiang, only marry the one I wish."
A well-educated girl, at this moment, is like a madman.
hum!
The sound of the piano shook the dust from the eaves.
Whoa!
She... took that step, just like Yu Niang Heng Niang in the script.
And compared to what I saw in the books, the scene in front of me was even more shocking.
It is because of the imperial seal of the first rank of Mr. Huaishan's daughter, and the fearless chastity of showing her ambition through death, that she has come to this step.
It's so rare and so hard.
Immediately, the young gentleman of the Zhou family was stunned, his face darkened, what did he think of him?
A joke in plain sight?
Loudly said, "I have the marriage certificate in my hand, what are you guys doing? If the marriage doesn't work out today, it will be done."
"My Zhou Mansion welcomes relatives according to the etiquette rules, you..."
Before he finished speaking, it was as if the strings in everyone's hearts had been torn.
The surrounding women, one by one, stood in front of the gate of the mansion.
It was a silent protest.
The young gentleman of the Zhou family: "You... you bastards..."
For the last two words, after glancing at the old woman, he swallowed his breath again.
If Mr. Huaishan's daughters are all Diaofu, what are his Beiliang's daughters?
The old woman said, "Take the sedan chair back. Whether or not the marriage will be successful is up to you today."
The sound of the piano also stopped.
The old soldier next to him opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Mo Shaoheng smiled, "It's true that Li Ningxiang didn't get her lover, but...she did."
"The women in this world who share the same destiny as her are all her lovers."
"It's true that this marriage is not something that can be settled just by his Zhou Mansion or Li Manor's words."
veteran:"……"
Mo Shaoheng said again, "Get ready, the real trouble is about to begin."
Sure enough, after a while, someone from the palace came over, "The sage Jin Zhao, summoned the admonisher Mo Shaoheng to go to the Golden Palace quickly."
Mo Shaoheng smiled wryly, the sage Jin Zhao, and all people from Beiliang, even if they were about to die on the bed, they had to be carried to the Golden Hall.
Even though he didn't show up when he played the piece just now, people would definitely recognize the sound of the eternally famous Qin Chunlei.
What's more, "Biography of Yu Niang" and "Biography of Heng Niang" were written by him, so it is inevitable that they will end up in this situation.
Mo Shaoheng glanced out the window, the wedding sedan must have been unable to enter the mansion, but was being carried towards the Golden Palace.
Madam Ronghua also got into the sedan chair and headed for the Golden Palace.
Zhou Zhengan, the censor who hurried out, also boarded the sedan chair.
He probably never thought that the wedding banquet he had planned for his son with all his heart would even cause trouble in front of the saint.
At this moment, Li Hanlin did the same, walking towards the Golden Palace.
Mo Shaoheng didn't dare to neglect, and said, "Have the things I prepared ready?"
The veteran asked someone to fetch a box, "It's all here."
Mo Shaoheng took the box and took a deep breath.
After so much trouble, it's time for the storm to hit the shore.
……
The Golden Temple today.
Silent.
Because this should be the weirdest court meeting they have ever seen.
In everyone's mind, an ordinary marriage unexpectedly went straight to the Golden Palace.
But it has to be like this, the voice of the people has risen, there is no conclusion, no complaints from the people, and at this time, Mr. Huaishan's daughter is actually involved.
The imperial order of the first grade, where the imperial court said it could be taken back, it represented too much significance. When Beiliang was just established, it was Mrs. Ronghua who stabilized the scholars.
All the parties were present, including Li Ningxiang in a wedding dress.
Madam Ronghua was comforting Li Ningxiang, "Don't be afraid, the top of the Golden Palace has its own opinions, no matter how bad it is, you will not be allowed to marry the Zhou Mansion."
Li Ningxiang gritted her teeth, but she seemed to be much firmer than expected.
Perhaps Mo Shaoheng didn't even think that it was Yu Niang and Heng Niang in his book who gave her such courage.
At this time, Zhou Zheng'an, the imperial historian, stepped forward and said, "Sage, I have sued Mo Shaoheng, the eldest son of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion today, for being reckless and arrogant, disregarding etiquette, disrespecting ethics, and privately destroying other people's marriages. The ethics of Beiliang are corrupt, and morality does not exist, so how can they stand in the kingdoms with face..."
Mo Shaoheng was taken aback, why did he only sue him?Why not sue Mrs. Ronghua as well.
It's really a persimmon looking for a soft pinch.
The voice of the sage came from the superior, "The Ministry of Rites will accept the case, and all the ministers will hear it."
Zhou Zheng'an was happy, and the Ministry of Rites accepted the case. He still didn't believe that Mo Shaoheng could break the etiquette and rules of this world.
Today, his Zhou Mansion suffered such a great humiliation, such a big joke was made on the wedding day, the marriage must end if it doesn't end.
Zhou Zhengan looked at Wen Shouzhi, "May I ask Mr. Wen, according to my Beiliang ethics, is there anything wrong with my son's marriage contract with Li Hanlin's daughter?"
"If there is nothing wrong with it, is it wrong to hold it as scheduled?"
Wen Shouzhi glanced at Zhou Zhengan, this matter is not as simple as a family marriage.
He deals with the rules and regulations every day, and only he can clearly see what kind of shocking things Mo Shaoheng is doing with this excuse.
This was hidden under the surface, and he was terrified when he saw the storm he wanted to stir up.
He even couldn't help but take a look at Mo Shaoheng, they all said that Mo Shaoheng was brilliant and magnificent, but he saw that the heart that was different from the world was the biggest variable in Beiliang.
Mo Shaoheng also noticed Wen Shouzhi's gaze.
The old man's eyes... so weird.
But there is a kind of wisdom that can see through people's hearts, as if it is beyond the world, and it makes people's soul tremble.
Mo Shaoheng handed over, and Zhou Zhengan couldn't let Zhou Zhengan talk about the truth alone.
What's more, what Zhou Zhengan said is quite reasonable, there is no one holding a wedding, you go to disturb others, and you don't want to be so angry that the three corpses jump.
Mo Shaoheng said, "May I ask Mr. Wen, what is the meaning of the existence of ethics in this world?"
He continued, "Whether it is ethics or etiquette, it is all for us to behave politely and abide by morality."
"What is the reason for scholars to temper their moral character and abide by the code of conduct?"
"At the end of the day, it's also for rectifying nature, clarifying human relations, and enlightening education."
"But now, in my Beiliang, my parents arranged marriages and decided their lives with one word, so many women ended up in a miserable life."
"Women from Beiliang are also citizens of Beiliang. Are they not worthy of a good life, or what?"
"They obviously don't want to marry the person they want to marry, but their parents force them for their own selfishness. In my opinion, this is not a sign of enlightenment."
Silent.
Even Wen Shouzhi was stunned.
Things that are easy to understand in the eyes of modern people, but in their eyes, it is a new idea.
Thinking is the most difficult thing to explain.
Zhou Zhengan laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's only natural for parents to arrange marriages for their children. Why do you say that parents in this world want to push their children into the fire pit?"
"It doesn't make sense."
Such a rebellious statement dared to speak out on the Golden Palace.
Mo Shaoheng also smiled, offering his hand to the saint, and then to Wen Shouyi, and said, "It is naturally good for parents to arrange a happy marriage for their children."
"I also believe that all parents in this world are for the good of their children."
"But what if something goes wrong accidentally?"
Mo Shaoheng did not wait for others to answer, and continued, "For example, Li Xiangning from Li Hanlin's family."
"Li Xiangning doesn't want to marry, she has reached the point of showing her ambition by death."
"The Li family also intends to withdraw the engagement."
"But some people want to rely on their marriage contract to ruin their lives. Is this also the desired result of ethical education?"
"In my opinion, this is a defilement of moral education."
"Ethical education follows the people-oriented approach, rather than misinterpreting it as something that harms people."
Everyone: "..."
Zhou Zheng'an, "Heh, according to your son, it's still a great thing for people not to keep their promises?"
Mo Shaoheng replied: "People should keep their word and do what they say."
"But since the marriage contract has come to the point of tearing apart the face, it should be resolved."
"Li Hanlin broke his promise, he should pay the price, but he should not sacrifice a woman to fulfill his loyalty."
Everyone was stunned, they thought Mo Shaoheng would always help Li Hanlin, but they didn't expect...
Mo Shaoheng continued, "I don't know if what I said is reasonable? Faithfulness is important, but there is no reason to take a woman's life to fulfill it."
"This……"
Everyone thought, this is what they should answer?What is it for them to sacrifice a woman for the sake of faithfulness?
Even if you think so in your heart, you can't answer like that.
At this time, Wen Shouzhi said, "With a family matter, criticize the thousands of years of rules, and don't take it as evidence."
Hit the nail on the head.
As far as the affairs of Zhou Zhengan and Li Hanlin's family are concerned, to put it bluntly, they are also their family affairs. In the face of ethical dogma, they are nothing.
Mo Shaoheng thought to himself, here we come.
Is Mo Shaoheng afraid of fighting a royal doctor?No, what he is afraid of is this torrent, an unstoppable dogma.
To shake this torrent is like shaking the heaven and the earth.
Mo Shaoheng couldn't shake the heavens and earth, but he could open a small stream beside the torrent.
Slowly figure it out, everyone knows the reason that if you take too big a step, you will sprain your feet. Although the big leap is shocking, it can also push people directly into the abyss.
Mo Shaoheng directly opened the box in his hand, and then took out the paper inside.
Stacks of paper, smelly and long.
Mo Shaoheng took out a long stack of paper and asked the officer on duty to hand it to the saint.
Then he personally handed over the rest, one by one, to Wen Shouzhi, to Mrs. Ronghua, to the Minister of the Palace, and even to Li Ningxiang.
On paper, it is clearly listed.
"In the third year of Zhengyuan, at the Li family in Shuanglu Lane, Liangjing, the youngest girl was hanged on the beam on the day she got married."
"In the third year of the Zhengyuan period, at the Zhao family in Xixia Lane, Liangjing, the three daughters hung themselves to death on the day they got married."
"..."
It was so dense that it filled a whole sheet of paper.
Mo Shaoheng said, "This is just the tragedy that happened in Liangjing in the third year of Zhengyuan."
"Not to mention, every year, there are many such cases in various places in Beiliang."
"These are the fates of my Beiliang girls who were forced to marry and ended up in the end."
Mo Shaoheng raised his voice, "Everyone, do you think the paper in your hands is heavy?"
"Every name is the wronged soul of my Beiliang girl."
"It's all... human life."
Beside, Li Ningxiang sobbed.
Originally, she would be just a name on this paper today.
Like these women who died unwillingly, they were unknown.
Madam Ronghua also sighed.
The number is so large, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shocking.
The hall was so quiet that no one dared to speak.
In normal times, a murder case would be a major case in the Jingdong government office.
And here, densely packed.
Because they all committed suicide due to repression, at most they just went to the Yamen to register and explain the cause of death.
Mo Shaoheng said, "These are all taken from the household register of the yamen. If you don't believe me, you can go and check it yourself."
Everyone: "..."
Dare to bring it up to the Golden Palace, what Mo Shaoheng said is probably true.
This amount is also a bit too much.
Suddenly, someone whispered, "Is there any way to do this, it's their own choice..."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Shaoheng said harshly, "Does this lord have no female relatives in his family? Or did this thing not happen in your house?"
"It is said that everyone in the palace is my parents' officials in Beiliang. In the face of so many lives, they can still say such words. What kind of parents' officials are they?"
"They chose to die, but... just can't see why they ended their young lives?"
The official blushed, "Mo Shaoheng, you..."
Mo Shaoheng took a deep breath, "When the ants are still alive, let alone individual people, if it is not really the time when they are desperate, why are they here, it is sad and lamentable."
Mo Shaoheng looked at Wen Shouzhi again, "Master Wen, do you think they deserve to die too?"
Wen Shouzhi was speechless for a while.
No one dared to trample on the lives of these women at this time.
Morality and ethics are not something that is used to persecute human life.
Mo Shaoheng directly bowed his hand in the direction of the sage, "I also ask the sage to uphold justice for Li Xiangning and dissolve this untimely marriage contract, lest there be any more grievances on this blank paper in front of the sage and all the adults."
Li Xiangning's grievance also reached the extreme, crying so much that she couldn't stand still, and fell to the ground directly.
At this time, Li Xiangning was no longer Li Xiangning, she represented Beiliang, a woman who shared a common destiny, crying to the top of the golden palace.
There was a miserable sound.
Everyone also looked at the saint.
They also know that this is no longer a matter of rescinding a marriage contract. After this start, there will be a precedent for the in-laws set in Beiliang to be rescinded. If you want to get rid of it, as long as the other party disagrees, you must continue to implement it, and don't even think about getting rid of it until you die.
Quiet.
There is no precedent for forcibly rescinding an engagement.
At this time, Mo Shaoheng glanced at Li Hanlin.
Li Hanlin opened his mouth and sighed one last time.
Because of his daughter's marriage contract, he was also in a state of desperation, causing the whole house to be in turmoil.
Glancing at the crying daughter, I remembered the scene where my daughter was wearing a wedding gown and holding scissors in the sedan chair.
Finally, he stepped forward, "Sage, I, Li Niang, broke my promise first, and I would like to use half of my family wealth to break up this marriage contract for my little girl. I only regret that I was too aggressive at the beginning and made this marriage prematurely for my little girl, which led to today's situation." A miserable end..."
The figure is a little bent.
Needle drop is audible.
Li Ningxiang cried even harder. Her father loved her after all, and she couldn't help but think of the scene where her father hugged her when she was a child and bought the sugar man. At that time, her father was so tall and stalwart.
How lucky she is.
At this time, the voice of the sage came, "The Zhou and Li families have nothing to worry about from now on."
The paper presented by Mo Shaoheng was too heavy, it was human life.
They are all his citizens in Beiliang.
It was a bit too unfair to die.
Sadly.
Zhou Zhengan opened his mouth, "Saint..."
Is this engagement really broken?
What about his son?
But the decision made by the sage, how could he question it.
Zhou Zhengan looked at Wen Shouzhi again.
Wen Shouzhi also sighed, Li Hanlin had already paid half of his family's wealth for breaking his promise.
At this time, Li Ningxiang represented the thousands of unfortunate women in Beiliang. Even if he only said a word, it meant that countless women would still have to die on this road.
He couldn't open the mouth, the paper in his hand was too heavy.
He suppressed his mouth, what's more, this is only a part of it, he can't believe how many women died because of it.
And those who are not dead, what kind of life will they live.
At this time, the sage said, "What can Zhou Qing say?"
Zhou Zhengan: "..."
After a while, Zhou Zhengan gritted his teeth, "There is a rift between Li Fu and I, so this marriage contract will be dissolved."
"But the loyalty and trustworthiness of the world cannot be disregarded. How can money be able to speak clearly."
In front of loyalty, money is nothing.
Zhou Zhengan suddenly looked at Mo Shaoheng, don't think he doesn't know, all of this is caused by Mo Shaoheng.
He had lost such a big embarrassment, his son had a hard time, and Mo Shaoheng couldn't even think about it.
Zhou Zheng'an continued, "But...the relationship between Zhenbei Palace and Yan Palace is very good, let alone a gap, they even opened a ranch together."
Mo Shaoheng was taken aback, what does Zhou Zhengan mean?
"Therefore, the loyalty between Zhenbei Palace and Yan Palace cannot be broken no matter what."
"I don't know the reason for breaking the engagement either."
"And Mo Shaoheng and King Yan are long past the age of normal marriage."
"To prove loyalty, to prove the ethics of this world, I also ask the sage to let Mo Shaoheng and King Yan get married as soon as possible."
He gritted his teeth, he didn't care about anything now, he was going to drag Mo Shaoheng into the water, how could he be so easy to bully the Yushi Zhoufu.
"puff!"
Mo Shaoheng was stunned and almost spit out a mouthful of saliva.
What nonsense is Zhou Zhengan talking about?
Mo Shaoheng was about to speak.
Zhou Zhengan said to Wen Shouzhi, "May I ask Mr. Wen, is there any reason for the marriage contract between Zhenbei Wangfu and Yanwangfu to be terminated?"
Wen Shouzhi glanced at Zhou Zhengan, who seemed to be insane. If ordinary people were so stimulated, they would probably be like Zhou Zhengan.
After thinking about it, the Zhou Mansion and the Li Mansion forcibly terminated their engagement today, using the grounds that they have lost their loyalty and trust. People must have faith, and without faith they cannot stand.
He answered with one word, "No."
Even if it is to be dissolved, the dowager who made the marriage contract must come later, and the dowager has already gone first.
Unless Mo Shaoheng can take out something as heavy as the paper in his hand to convince everyone, otherwise this marriage contract is logically unbreakable.
Zhou Zhengan said again, "According to the rules of etiquette, should Mo Shaoheng and King Yan have already gotten married?"
Wen Shouzhi said "En".
In terms of age, both Mo Shaoheng and King Yan are over twenty, long past the age of marriage and establishment.
