Yutai Bi

Chapter 189
"What a eloquent woman!" Cui Jidong saw Cen Sanniang's picturesque face, and didn't think she was weak at all.In his heart, the petite woman in front of him who was younger than him was more terrifying than the thick and aggressive woman in the market.Crying and fussing, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, like a crab with claws and teeth, if you don't pay attention, you will be bitten by her and bleed.

Pinching Cen Sanniang's wrongdoing, Cui Jidong clung to it, and sneered, "Mrs. Du's mother-in-law has only passed away for less than a month. She doesn't wear filial piety, and doesn't keep vigil at home. Instead, she takes the girl to wine shops to show off and discuss state affairs. This unfilial woman doesn't even understand etiquette, justice, integrity and shame, how can she be trusted? Even if General Du wins the rebellion, there is such an inner house woman who is ashamed to see others."

"This woman should open the ancestral hall, and she should be taught by the family law!"

"Yes! Report it to the chief of the Du clan, so that you can teach me a lesson."

"If the Du family doesn't practice the family law against this kind of daughter-in-law, who would dare to marry the daughter of the Jingzhao Du family!"

All the students looked at Cen Sanniang from suspicion to disdain.

Naked personal attacks, this Cui Erlang is really talented, it's a pity not to be a litigator.Cen Sanniang was deeply regretful.When the Tang Dynasty opened up again, it still pays attention to loyalty, filial piety and honesty.When Cui Erlang talked about filial piety, she lost the reason.

As long as this group of students could be prevented from kneeling at the palace gate to put pressure on the emperor, the family law should be the family law, and she couldn't care less.Cen Sanniang politely apologized to everyone: "During my filial piety, I rashly went in and out of the wine shop to inquire about my general, and my concubine was willing to be dealt with by the Du family's family rules. I just advise everyone, the Cui and Du families have been feuding for a long time, so don't listen to Cui Erlang's instigation. If my general Now that we have won, wouldn’t it be a joke for everyone who kneels at the palace gate? Mr. Cui probably won’t go with him, right? The Duke of Jianguo’s mansion is the queen’s natal family, so we must avoid suspicion!”

He heard a prudent person among the students call him: "Cui Erlang, are you going or not?"

Cui Jidong almost spit out a mouthful of blood.Of course he dared not go.The little princess dug out a doll that resembled Wu Zhaoyi from the queen's bedroom, and the queen was imprisoned in the palace.If he went to the palace gate with a group of students, he might fall into trouble again.

"Mrs. Du is right. The battle situation changes overnight. Who knows what the current situation in Jiangnan is. Let's be on the safe side and wait and see." This is clearly not going.

Cen Sanniang said leisurely: "All talented scholars can hear you clearly. Those who still want to go, please carefully measure them."

Cen Sanniang disturbed the planned palace request again.Cui Jidong felt great hatred.He thought to himself, even if he couldn't encourage Chongwenguan Xuewomen to petition, he would never let Cen Sanniang feel better.

Cui Jidong changed the subject: "General Du is fighting bloody battles on the front line. Her wife is not filial. This woman should turn Du Shi away, and the family should use the right way!"

As soon as these words came out, all the students nodded.

Cen Sanniang said: "I would like to advise everyone, have you entered the Chongwen Museum, have you graduated? You need to know that the water in the full jar does not make noise, but the water in the half jar jingles. Cui Erlang even admitted that he went to the palace gate to kneel down to ask the emperor for the report ten days ago. It’s not right to change generals just before the battle, everyone is still studying, so it’s the right way to study with peace of mind. If the concubine breaks the family rules, she should go to the ancestral hall to receive the punishment. There is no need to confiscate.”

As he spoke, he took Ah Qiu and Xia Chu out of the restaurant and got into the carriage.

"Let's go! In order to put down General Du's rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, we need an explanation from the Du family!" Cui Jidong gritted his teeth and followed, and got on his horse.

The young lady is going to the ancestral hall to learn her own family law?Ah Qiu and Xia Chu were so frightened that their faces changed color.Taking advantage of the mess in front of the restaurant, Ah Qiu cleverly slipped away.

Cen Sanniang got into the car and saw the students from the Chongwen Museum following the car to Du's house, she spat and said, "I didn't expect to follow. You're so pedantic, why are you so serious?"

After scolding, he asked Xia Chu: "You said so many people followed, how will the patriarch uncle deal with me?"

Xia Chu's face was pale: "...a heavy pig cage, or dozens of boards, or kneeling in the ancestral hall."

Cen Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief: "I can't soak a pig cage. I don't know how to use a board. I have an order. Just kneel."

"But Young Madam, it's snowing today, women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, they can only kneel on the green brick ground outside. You have just recovered, and you can't stand kneeling for an hour..." Xia Chu cried anxiously.

"Are outsiders allowed to enter our family's ancestral hall? Those people heard that the patriarch told me to kneel, so they still dare to guard our house? Show them how stupid they are." Cen Sanniang turned around. Roll eyes.Why are you so sincere? !

Xia Chu was extremely anxious: "Is there any reason for the words of the head of the clan to be counted? The head of the clan has spoken, and you must execute it."

Cen Sanniang didn't care about that: "Don't worry, my husband is fighting a war. If he loses, the whole Du family will lose face. My man is out to earn face for the whole family. How dare the patriarch not give me face?"

At the beginning of Xia, he admired and worried at the same time, his young wife is indeed a master who is not afraid of anything.

When they arrived at the long room, the students started to riot.When Du Hansong heard that there were a large number of Chongwenguan students outside the gate of the mansion, he was also taken aback and hurried out.

Cen Sanniang got out of the carriage and knelt down in the snow at the door to plead guilty.

Mrs. Du heard the news from Aqiu, and she was so anxious that Madam Yin went to the big room immediately.

Du Hansong knew it well, so he reprimanded her face-to-face in front of the students, read the family rules again, and fined her to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.Xia Qiu helped Cen Sanniang in.

Looking at the students, Du Hansong spoke righteously, extremely majestic: "Don't worry, everyone. Jingzhao Du's family has lasted for a hundred years, and the family rules are strict. Such unfilial daughter-in-laws will never be tolerated."

The students left in a hurry.

Cui Jidong looked at the petite figure of Cen Sanniang and the snow falling from the sky, but he was not half happy about defeating his opponent.He thought to himself that the Du family was his deadly enemy, so what's the point of making her kneel in the snow for a few days if she loves to torment her so much?I went to flatter the horse.

In this era, someone promises to wait for decades.What's more, it was the head of the Du family who came forward.No one doubted that Cen Sanniang would not be punished.

Arriving outside the ancestral hall, Cen Sanniang glanced at the patriarch uncle, and knelt upright: "Ancestors, it is a disgrace to the family to go in and out of the wine shop to inquire about the husband's information without being filial. Grandmother, the care of my sister-in-law who has not left the court, is temporarily recorded on the account, and if she commits another crime in the future, she will be punished for several crimes. I sincerely kowtow today."

She kowtowed three times earnestly, helped Xia Chu's hand to stand up, and said to the patriarch respectfully: "What does the patriarch uncle think?"

What is recorded on the account is clearly a repudiation!Du Hansong couldn't help but laugh.He knew in his heart that Du Yansui's battle was related to the prestige of the Du family, there were old and young in the Duke's mansion, and Zhang's spirit was still in the mansion, so he really couldn't do without Cen Sanniang.The old lady also sent someone to intercede, he couldn't really make Cen Sanniang kneel outside the ancestral hall for three days.I had no choice but to keep a straight face and said solemnly: "The third aunt is old, the seventh sister has not left the cabinet, and the affairs of the mansion cannot be separated from you. I also think that your first crime was not because you were greedy for pleasure, so you will be punished lightly. Kneel for three days The ancestral hall has temporarily recorded that if there is another crime in the future, it will be dealt with together. You are not allowed to leave the house for three months, and sincerely chant sutras for your mother-in-law."

Cen Sanniang performed the blessing ceremony, and replied obediently: "Thank you, Patriarch, for your kindness."

Standing up, he said with a smile: "Since I'm here, the patriarch allows me to go and see Jingshu."

"Go. Send your carriage back first. I will prepare a carriage to take you later."

This is to prevent the Cui family from keeping eyeliner and seeing Cen Sanniang return home.

Cen Sanniang agreed and led Xia Chu to the inner courtyard.

Du Jingshu had already brought the girl to the second gate to wait for her, and affectionately took Cen Sanniang to see the eldest lady: "I heard that you scolded the students of Chongwen Hall? Sanniang, you are amazing!"

Cen Sanniang smiled wryly: "Isn't there no way? I'm already kneeling in the ancestral hall."

Du Jingshu stuck out her tongue: "Isn't this good? Grandma sent Yin's mother here, and she was in a hurry. My mother also interceded with my father, but I can't really punish you."

Cen Sanniang knew in her heart that if Du Yansui hadn't gone out to fight, the conservative elders in the clan would definitely not give up easily.She followed Du Jingshu into the room with a smile, and saluted the eldest lady: "Thank you for your protection, uncle. Sanniang has caused trouble for uncle."

The eldest lady smiled and pulled her to sit next to her, looked at her twice, and said with emotion: "She is the same age as our Jingshu, so she can be the director of the family and stand alone. Brother Jiu married a good wife."

Cen Sanniang pretended to be ashamed: "Look at what my aunt said. Sister Jingshu is lively yet demure, and she is a blessed person at first glance. You are reluctant to let her marry early and become the director of someone else's family."

The eldest lady was happy when she heard that.

Du Jingshu came over to act like a spoiled child again: "It would be best for mother to keep me for the rest of my life."

"Silly girl!" The eldest lady cursed with a smile.Worrying about Jingshu's marriage again, she said to Cen Sanniang, "The daughter-in-law is not going to stay. Brother Ninth's daughter-in-law looks good, so I will tell my aunt. Marry her early, and my heart will be at ease as a mother!" "

Du Jingshu blushed, jumped up and pulled Cen Sanniang away: "Mom, let me talk to Sanniang about my own words."

The eldest lady agreed, and the two saluted and left the main room.

The courtyard of Dafang has the taste of Jiangnan gardens, with rockery pavilions and winding corridors.It was snowing finely outside, and the two hugged the stove, walking slowly in the corridor and chatting.
