After returning from Qinglong Temple that day, Zhang Chao has been thinking about how to get back the Zheng dowry belonging to Thirteen Niang from the Cui family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, this matter is easy to say, according to the law, a woman's dowry is protected by the law. When a woman marries into her husband's family, her dowry does not become the family's public property, but remains their private property. Not only can't the in-laws take it, but even the husband can't take it.

If the woman is divorced, or divorced, then the dowry can be taken away. If a woman dies, then the dowry belongs to her children, and if there are no children, the dowry will most likely go to the mother's family, and the husband will get half at most, which depends on negotiation, and it is also often prone to disputes over property.

In the case of clear legal provisions, Zhang Chao directly made it public and asked Thirteen Niang's uncle to come forward to fight a lawsuit, and there would basically be no suspense in this matter.

But if things really come to this point, it's a little unsightly.

Speaking of which, the rights of women in the Tang Dynasty were still very high, protected by the government, unlike in the Ming and Qing dynasties, women were completely vassals of men.

At this time, the woman still has her own property rights, which future generations dare not imagine.

Zhang Chao really went to court directly with the Cui family, and then he tore his face, and for Cui Sanniang, his reputation was also damaged.

The best way is to be private, find a way to persuade Cui Shanfu to take the initiative to hand over this dowry, so that everyone is good.

Zhang Chao leaned on the couch and looked at the cave wall intently.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally had some eyebrows.

Zhang Chao got up and opened the box, took a set of clothes, and then took the soap and went to the bathroom.

The bath of the bathroom has not yet been built, but the bathing and water stove are all ready, and there is a sauna board room. In the plank hut, there was a small window, and in it there was a stove, on which stones were baked.

When the stone is hot, pluck the stone out and pour some water on it, and the hot vapor will be generated. Continuous heating can make the temperature in the house extremely high, and it can steam people quite comfortably.

Sauna in the middle of winter is quite enjoyable and relaxes the pores of the whole body.

However, ordinary people cannot afford to enjoy this luxurious lifestyle, and it is not cheap to burn charcoal, build wooden houses, and use water.

Sitting in the cabin and steaming for half an hour, Zhang Chao was soaked with sweat, then went out to take a warm shower, and went back to continue steaming.

After three steaming and three showers, Zhang Chao felt completely relaxed and comfortable, and then changed his clothes and left satisfied.

When he got outside, Zhang Chao carefully trimmed his longer and longer beard in front of the bronze mirror. At this time, men will start to grow beards after they become adults, but they will still trim them frequently.

However, very few people shaved it cleanly.

Zhang Chao likes a smooth and clean face, but he can only follow the local customs and start growing a beard. He didn't leave any of those long locks of beard, and he didn't have rat whiskers.

He cut the beard on his chin very short, and only left two glimpses of the figure of eight short beard on his upper lip. The two whiskers were trimmed very short, and they did not reach the mouth at all. It was hard for him to accept the beards that were so thick that they couldn't even cover their mouths.

"It's so cold, it feels like you've fallen into an ice cellar."

"It's October, it must be cold, it's good to be cold, cold to freeze those insects to death, and next year to ensure the harvest."

The bathroom that the Zhang family is building is a large wooden house, which has been built on the outside, and is now building a bath and sewer inside.

"When our bathroom is built, we will be able to take hot baths often in the future."

"It's good to be able to soak once or twice a month, and you often come to soak, you really don't need money to boil hot water, and you have to drive water from the well, and you have to drive water from the water tower, and you have to boil the cauldron." The time spent is not counted, and this firewood is not less burned. One of the villagers laughed.

The Zhang family now burns a lot of firewood every month, so many stoves in the steam room are burned every day, and the kang in the newly built apprentice dormitory also has to be burned every day.

These firewood are purchased by the Zhang family, and the nearby villagers pick up the firewood they cut and dried to the Zhang family to sell, although it is cheap, but the amount is not small, and it is still a large cost.

"Don't worry, when the bathroom is built, hot water will be supplied for two hours a day, and everyone can wash it at will." Zhang Chao packed up his beard and said to everyone with a smile. The Zhang family still spent this amount of money, anyway, almost half of the people in the entire Zhangjiagou are their own employees, which can be regarded as an employee benefit.

Cui Sanniang's uncle Zheng Shanguo, the current prince of Zuo Shu, is the prince of Xingyang County.

He was the prince's chief butler.

is full of ******, and the crown princess Zheng Guanyin is still his cousin's niece.

There are many officials in the Xingyang Zheng family, such as Zheng Shanguo's cousin Zheng Zheng Yuanxuan is the current Taichangqing, which is the highest official in charge of etiquette and music in the imperial court, and is very noble.

The Zheng family is on the side of the crown prince, and they are very ******, and because of this, Zheng Shanguo has just been promoted.

With the crown prince Zuo Shuzi inspecting the Dali Secretary and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this is equivalent to the president of the Supreme Court and the Minister of Finance, which is a very important position.

Originally, Zhang Chao was reluctant to associate with the Zheng family, because they were ******, and Zhang Chao knew that in the end, the prince failed, the skin was gone, and of course the hair could not be attached.

But now the matter of Thirteen Niang can only be done by borrowing the Zheng family.

The world is big, and my uncle is the biggest.

The Zheng family took action for their niece Thirteen Niang, and it was a matter of course, and the Cui family didn't dare to say anything.

On the other hand, Zheng Shanguo's mother is actually the Cui family, and she is Cui Shanfu's aunt.

With such a relationship, it is more convenient for Zheng Shanguo to come forward.

"San Lang is a rare guest!"

In the living room of the Zheng family, Zheng Shanguo, who had just returned from the yamen, heard that Zhang Chao was coming to visit, and came over after changing his clothes.

"If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, I hope Gong Zheng can do me a favor."

"If you can't help anything, just say it."

Zhang Chao nodded, "Actually, it's Thirteen Niang's business, that day I went to Qinglong Temple to incense, and I happened to meet Thirteen Niang who also went to incense, and then we chatted a few words." ”

Zheng Shanguo just looked at him with a smile, and did not expose such an obvious lie.

"Thirteen Niang said that Cui Lang and Wang Niangzi wanted to take away the dowry left by their deceased mother, Zheng Niangzi."

"I know a thing or two about this." Zheng Shanguo nodded.

"I hope Gong Zheng can come forward to talk to Gong Cui, this Zheng Niangzi's dowry belongs to Thirteen Niang."

"Wang, this person is a little greedy."

Zheng Shanguo's sister's dowry is indeed very rich, and it is a lot after more than ten years of business, and now it is more and more abundant, and the Cui family has long regarded this dowry as their property, how can they be willing to let it out, it accounts for half of the Cui family's property.

"But it's not theirs after all, if you really start a lawsuit, I believe the Cui family won't be able to win."

Zheng Shanguo smiled, "But the Wang family obviously decided that I would not fight this lawsuit." ”

If a lawsuit starts, it will have a bad impact on anyone, especially this kind of lawsuit over property, and this not only involves the Cui Zheng family, but also the Taiyuan Wang family.

Zheng Shanguo likes to eat the roast duck brought by Zhang Chao, the thin dough cake is served with meat sliced from the hot roast duck, and then served with some green onions, lettuce, etc., and then dipped in the sauce brought by Zhang Chao, which is very delicious.

At first, he just tried it, but after eating one, he couldn't stop.

ate several in one go, and Zhang Chao sat on the side to help him with vegetable burritos.

"I ate the roast duck delivered by your shop last time, it was delicious, but I didn't expect that there is this way to eat, the roast duck in the pancake roll with green vegetables, dipped in this sauce, it is really a completely different delicacy."

Zhang Chao smiled, "After the meat of this roast duck slice is removed, the remaining skeleton can also be used to drink in hanging soup, which is also very delicious." ”

"What do you think?" Zheng Shanguo asked. The young man opposite is about to become his nephew and son-in-law, and that niece is the only daughter of his sister who died early, so he is still very polite to Zhang Chao.

"Actually, I don't care about the dowry left by Mrs. Zheng, maybe Zheng Gong also knows that it only took me a short time, and I also have thousands of acres of land, ten thousand dollars, money is just dung, I can earn it or give it up. But this means something different to Thirteen Niang, it is not just a sum of money, but something left to her by her mother. The Wang family has not treated Thirteen Niang well over the years, and now she wants to take away the dowry left to her by her mother, and Thirteen Niang is unwilling. She didn't want to, so I had to help him. ”

Zheng Shanguo sighed, "Since the Sui Rebellion, we have also been running around separately, and it has only been settled down in the past two years. I did treat Thirteen Niang badly, and I couldn't take care of her for her mother. Don't worry, since Thirteen Niang wants to fight, then I will fight for her. ”

Zhang Chao hurriedly said, "Actually, there is no need to tear your face in this matter, if Zheng Gong fights, I am afraid that the Wang family will not give up easily." It's better to find a third party to come forward, there is more buffer room. ”

"Looking for whom?"

"You can ask the crown princess to come forward, she is also the maiden cousin of Thirteen Niang, and her status is respected. It can not only represent the maternal uncle of the thirteen mothers, but also represent the prince. If she comes forward in person, goes to Cui's house, or directly summons the Wang family into the East Palace to talk, I believe that the Cui family will not even give this face, right? ”

Zhang Chao also thought about it for a long time before he found such a way.

Although Cui Shanguo is his own uncle, just because he is his own uncle, maybe the Wang family will not give up easily, but the crown princess is different, he is a cousin of his cousin's family, and he is the crown princess, with a high status and respect.

Let her come forward is better than Zheng Shanguo.

Originally, Zhang Chao thought about asking the eldest grandson Wuji to come forward and let Li Shimin come forward to talk to Cui Shanfu, but thinking about it, this is a family matter after all, and he doesn't have so much face to be able to command the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin.

In the end, I still asked Zheng Shanguo to come forward and move out of the big Buddha of the crown princess Zheng Guanyin to come to Cui's house in a town.

If the crown princess is out of the horse by then, and the Cui family still can't be allowed to commit it, then it's a big deal to tear his face and face the court, as long as Thirteen Niang wants to fight, he will accompany her to fight to the end.

They are not something that the Cui family can bully at will, he is also a person with a background. (To be continued.) )
