Chapter 1026: Swagger

Li Er was terrified, what looked like a box or a quilt rolled up from a distance was a person, or someone he knew, the male owner of the tofu shop.

I can't figure it out, when he was still alive at dinner, when he saw him staggering home, laughing and scolding a few words to himself, why did he suddenly die?

Naturally, at this moment, Li Er's eyes became more and more puzzled and stared at the two black shadows in fear.

By the river, there was no movement of resistance, and the carried thing was thrown into the water with a thud.

The pair of men and women turned around, snuggled up to each other and walked in front of Li Er, eating and laughing, and gradually walked away.

After a long time, Li Ercai got up from the grass tremblingly, picked up his things randomly, carried a weak lantern, and ran to the Land Temple.

He tossed and turned on the bed made of the wooden door all night, and could not sleep, and even with his eyes closed, he could still see two black figures and the terrible thing he carried.

The next day, there was talk everywhere in the county that the owner of the tofu shop had drunk and drowned in the river last night.

Li Er was very puzzled, he was stupid but had his own thoughts, obviously the proprietress and the owner of the mutton shop threw the owner of the tofu shop into the river, why did he say that he was drunk and stumbled? It is incomprehensible strange for a woman to throw her husband into the river, without crying or laughing, and throwing her arms at other men.

Because he was afraid, Li Er ran back to Xiaojia Village in one breath, and even told the people in the village about it with a gesture, if it was someone outside, he would definitely frown and walk away, or scold him to get out, but everyone in the village knew that Silly Er would never lie.

A few days later, the catcher who was hiding behind the house heard the truth from a foolish couple of men and women, and the owner of the tofu shop who went out to drink went home early and broke the adulterous affair and was killed by his wife and the owner of the mutton shop.

Justice was served, but Li Er was stimulated. Since then, I have never dared to run to the county seat again.

Xu Hao and Xue Wen arrived at Shuntian Mansion, Hu Taishou, who looked sad, sighed, and Xu Hao comforted him with a few words of farewell and left.

Returning to Xiaojia Village, he went to Wang's house, and saw that Wang Siliu was so anxious that he was about to kneel, and said to Da Guniu: "My ancestor, you have opened your mouth." ā€

The cow couldn't open his mouth and was unwilling to take medicine, but an old man pointed out: "You go and cut a green bamboo tube and tie the cow's head to the tree." Pry open the cow's mouth and stuff it into the green bamboo tube, and the medicine can be poured in. ā€

Wang Siliu did as he was told, and sure enough, he poured the medicine into it, and the big bull who took the medicine licked the master's palm with his tongue affectionately, and that sensible look made Wang Siliu almost cry.

The problem is that after taking the medicine, it is not good, the big bull lies down all day and pants, and Wang Siliu went up the mountain to find a lot of herbs according to the ideas of several elders. After boiling it and pouring it into the big bull, it still didn't get better.

Every veterinarian built yƬ He killed the cow as soon as possible, at least he could save some capital, and he was afraid that he would only have a skin if it was late. Wang Siliu was very disgusted by this, and he couldn't be ruthless.

Xu Hao knew what kind of feelings Lao Wang had for the cow, and wanted to say that he would change the cow, but the problem was that he couldn't open his mouth. This shows how important a sound social system is to protect the vulnerable. There is also the development of medicine, regardless of what Chinese medicine and Western medicine are, the most important thing is to cure the disease.

Two days later. Shuntianfu sent someone to report the funeral, and Hu Taishou's youngest son passed away. Xu Hao was puzzled, he just touched his head, how could a person die?

However, the person was indeed dead, and he couldn't arrange for someone to examine the body, so Xu Hao asked the housekeeper to go over and mourn on his behalf.

Gu Fusheng and others have to send money, sacrifices, funeral visits, help, and condolences to Hu Taishou, everyone racked their brains and came up with all kinds of ways to please them.

And Hu Taishou was heartbroken, the instructor of the Martial Arts Academy who was in charge of the exercises, after the accident that day, had been severely reprimanded by him and had a big demerit. Now that his son has returned to heaven, Hu Taishou hated the instructor to death, and threatened to arrest him to kneel in front of the spirit, and dress his son in linen and filial piety.

In the end, the instructor was dismissed, expelled and notified to the officialdom that he could not be hired in the future.

Thinking about this second young master Hu, although he died at the age of only nine years old, Hu Taishou died because his son was practicing in the school, so it was tantamount to sacrificing his life for the country, and when he was seven years old, when the imperial court canonized the crown princess, he rewarded the captain of Chengxin who was the sixth grade, and he had to play the Ming court to ask for a five-level reward.

At this time, the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites didn't have the heart to ink with him, pity him for the pain of losing his son, and then the dead were great, and they had to give face to the crown prince and princess, so they gave a general Mingwei of the fourth grade.

In this way, he was canonized by the actual officials of the imperial court, and he could not be treated as a person who had not yet become a mortal. Hu Taishou specially went to the Ministry of Officials and asked for 21 days of anti-service leave, so that he could take care of him in front of the spirit sooner or later.

As the maiden uncle of the crown princess, he is a hot upstart in the officialdom, so naturally some officials come to talk to him, and even cabinet ministers look at him differently.

Every day, waves of officials continue to mourn in person, some junior officials even run to kowtow in front of the spirit, and some shameless officials want to follow the example, but they are all pulled by Hu Taishou, if this is spread out, what will it be? I'm really not afraid of god-like opponents, but only pig-like teammates.

Shuntianfu was crowded with officials, and everyone learned that he had always been especially fond of this little son, and he really took care of his heart.

Hu Taishou snorted, soaked tears and said: "Don't hide it from the princess, my little dog turned out to be Wuqu Xing, when I was born, I had a dream, I saw a golden armor god in the clouds, hugged a child, and then suddenly a golden light flashed, suddenly a horn sounded, and the golden light flashed out of the two big characters of Wuqu, when the cheap woke up, it was he who was born. Therefore, after the brother gave birth to this son, he loved him very much in his heart, and thought that he would definitely be able to work for the country in the future. Alas, I don't know that I once died. This is not only a blessing for the poor, but also a misfortune for the community. ā€

The officials secretly said that you really dare to talk nonsense, fortunately the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, otherwise you would not have given your son a posthumous title? Give me another nickname?

This is not over, Hu Taishou asked someone to take out the epitaph he made for his son and show it to these officials. Everyone saw that it was nothing more than what he had just said, and there was no way, and everyone had to compliment them indiscriminately.

On the day of the funeral, nearly 1,000 people came, up to the civil and military officials, and down to the various schools. Some important ministers were inconvenient to come forward, and they also sent them to save the couplet or something.

I don't know what Hu Taishou thinks, all of them gladly accept it, not to say, one should rely on the ritual system of the three products, and it is necessary to move the teachers and move the people, and send away the beloved son in a beautiful way.

That's not all, he also ordered all the teachers and students under his command to wear white clothes and carry wreaths and other things to the funeral.

On that day, I saw the lively people crowding the streets, and I saw rows of teachers and students standing neatly outside, this scene was really fresh! Hu Taishou came out to see it and was very satisfied.

Hu Taishou pretended to ask: "How much money was spent in total, and I will return it to them." ā€

The officials said in unison: "I am willing to repay the mourning of the young adult, but I really dare not receive it." ā€

"Thank you." Hu Taishou saw that since the big guy was so 'sincere', he could only give up.

However, when he was done, he inspected the school and praised the teachers for their good teaching, and the students were rewarded for their kindness.

Unexpectedly, just one day, Zhu Zhanji suddenly summoned Hu Taishou and reprimanded him fiercely, warning him that if there was a second time, he would immediately remove his official position and return to his hometown.

Hu Taishou realized that he was too ostentatious, and he committed the taboo of being an official and a relative of the country, and he didn't take it too seriously, and if he made a mistake, he couldn't change it. Who knew that the crown princess sent someone to pass the word in the evening, saying uncle, you should do it yourself, and I can't control it if I do anything wrong.

Hu Taishou was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly asked his wife in hindsight, only to learn that the relationship between the prince and his wife did not seem to be very harmonious. For example, for a month, at most he stayed in the princess's house for four or five days, and the rest of the time was almost at the concubine Sun's place.

This matter is not trivial, Hu Tai stood up and asked, "What is the reason?" ā€

"I don't know." Mrs. Hu, who had lost a son, had not yet come out of her grief, and said with a smile: "You are a foreign minister, it is inconvenient for me to enter and leave the East Palace from time to time, and I was far away in Sichuan when I married you, and I have never been close to the crown princess. ā€

"Confused." Hu Taishou was furious, "Then you won't ask the people around you?" Everyone is prosperous and lossy, how can it not be truthful? I know, you must hold your own identity and disdain to be a palace person, don't you? ā€

Mrs. Hu's face turned red, and she was told by her husband, so she had to say: "I can save it, I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to ask for a meeting, and I will find out the secret." ā€

"Humph!" Hu Taishou threw out his sleeves angrily and muttered, "What the hell is going on? It's only been a few years since they got married, and they're separated? Didn't the one surnamed Sun enter the palace earlier? Why don't you get tired of her? ā€

Fortunately, the niece is a dignified princess, and her dignified temperament is deeply loved by the queen, and the husband and wife respect each other like guests, and Hu Taishou is not worried about his niece losing power, so he is not angry with his wife.

He sat alone in the courtyard and secretly said that I relied on my own skills to get the prince's appreciation, and I have never relied on my niece for everything, and I will continue to be an official in the future.

This time they were reprimanded, they had to find a way to make up for it, by the way, if a group of reformers emerged from the bottom of the world today, saying that they wanted to change the world, although this trend is not to be worried about at the moment, but if their articles published in the newspapers are seen by young people and their heads are lured to the ground, will they be able to pay it back?

And I single-handedly run these schools, if a few big rebels pop up, wouldn't I have committed a great crime?

"I have to get to the bottom of it immediately, Xu Laosan is a lesson from the past, I can't learn from him anymore."

Hu Taishou stood up and slapped his head hard, fortunately this incident made him calm down, otherwise he would have been in prison in a daze, and he would still be at a loss for what was going on. (To be continued......)
