The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

"Although your elder brother doesn't care about your martial arts practice, if you dare to go to the rivers and lakes to become a hero, you will probably be arrested by your elder brother and rewarded." Daiyu said with a smile.

Chen Yun laughed, "I didn't want to be a hero. This is not going to be with brother Xiuyun, punishing rape and eradicating evil by the way. After the addiction of being a hero, I will go back next year."

"After traveling for so long, what can brother Yunzue gain?" Daiyu asked with a smile.

Chen Yun thought for a while, then murmured, "The harvest is that I know a lot of interesting places, and there are many children of wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River who dominate the local area, and they don't do good things all day long. Now I support my elder brother more and more. idea."

His elder brother has long thought about rectifying these gentry and gentry, but it is still in the plan. After all, it is a huge group that has accumulated for thousands of years. If there is no perfect plan, the consequences of backlash against itself will be very terrible.

Daiyu naturally didn't know what Chen Yunxian was thinking, but seeing Chen Yun's expression, it seemed like a big deal.

"Will it be dangerous?"

Chen Yun thought for a while and said, "It's not known yet, but if my elder brother is not sure, he won't touch these people."

"Brother Yunyu, do you really hate these domineering people?" Daiyu asked.

Chen Yun said with a smile, "Isn't it normal to hate them?"

"It's also..." Daiyu sighed, "One person can ascend to the sky with the Tao."

These people who are domineering in the local area are not all powerful in their own families. Most of them rely on someone in the clan to be a high-ranking official, holding a banner to show off their power. The living space of the people is infinitely compressed. It is not a good thing if it goes on for a long time.

Chen Yun didn't want to talk about these heavy topics with Daiyu, and instead talked about interesting things he had encountered recently, making Daiyu laugh.

Happiness was short-lived, as the time was getting late, Chen Yunjuan was sent back.

The next day, Chen Yunjuan was dragged to the market to observe the livelihood of these people. Although most of them were trivial matters, there were also heart-warming actions.

After another half a month, due to the sudden rain, they found a nearby ruined temple to stay, and when the rain stopped, they continued on their way.

But it was still too late to reach the nearby towns.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Yun had a discussion with Xie Xiuyun.

"Brother Xiuyun, why don't we find a nearby village to stay overnight? Otherwise, even if we arrive at the nearest town, we might not be able to get in."

Xie Xiuyun looked at the sky, nodded, "Alright."

The group continued on their way and saw a village before dark. It was just dark and there were still people walking outside. There was no curfew in the village like a town.

At the entrance of the village there is a large courtyard made of green bricks, which is very luxurious compared to other houses in the village.

Chen Yun handed over the sword in his hand to the servant, and stepped forward to stop the man who was about to enter the village.

"Brother, please stay."

Although the young man was taller than Chen Yun, he was still a little afraid because of Chen Yun's extraordinary clothes.

"Is there something wrong with this young master?" He stuttered.

Chen Yun said with a smile, "It's getting late, we don't have time to go to the town, and we want to stay overnight in Guicun."

The man looked at Chen Yun and his group, and said with some embarrassment, "Well, my house is very small, I'm afraid I can't live there."

Chen Yun smiled when he heard the words, and pointed to the green brick house at the entrance of the village, "May I ask, who lives in that house?"

The man glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a respectful tone, "That's Mr. Cui's house."

gentlemen?

Chen Yun asked thoughtfully, "Is this Mr. Cui the teacher of your village?"

"Mr. Cui is the master of Juren. He just came to our village a few years ago. He is not a teacher in our village. However, Mr. Cui is very good. He will teach the children in our village to read and write, and he does not charge money." Mentioned this Mr. Cui , Men talk more.

Chen Yun was awed by hearing the words, "So that's the case, I'm disrespectful."

"If you want to stay overnight, I'll take you to the village chief," the man said.

"Thank you, big brother." Chen Yun cupped his hands in thanks.

Xie Xiuyun and Chen Yunjue both had swords, but they were afraid that the common people would be frightened by seeing them, so they wrapped them in cloth.

The man took them to meet the village head. To become the head of a village, of course, they are not ordinary people in this place.

Looking at the clothes of Chen Yuncheng and his party, he knew that they had extraordinary backgrounds. He asked the man to go home and invited Chen Yuncheng and four of them to come in.

The village head had obviously been educated, and after some pleasantries, knowing that Chen Yun had passed the examination of scholar at a young age, his attitude was much more respectful than before.

"Since this young man is a scholar, he can borrow a night at Mr. Cui's house. Mr. Cui's house is deserted and there are quite a few vacant houses, so we can live there," said the village chief.

Chen Yun cupped his hands, "Will you bother Mr. Cui?"

"Mr. Cui likes educated young people the most. After the young master is gone, he will definitely like it." The village chief said with a smile.

Then Chen Yunjue and others were led to see Mr. Cui again.

Mr. Cui's age is not too young, probably in his 50s or [-]s, but he has a refined demeanor, which makes him feel amiable.

The village head told Chen Yunjuan that he was a scholar, and Mr. Cui was really kind to Chen Yunjuan, and he happily stayed with them.

The village head said goodbye and went home.

Because it was getting late, Mr. Cui took Chen Yun and four people to the wing room, "Although there are many houses in the house, only the old wife and two maids clean up once every ten and a half months. The house has not been cleaned for several days. You have to clean up yourself."

"Mr. Cui stayed with us for one night. We should be grateful. We can clean up this room by ourselves. Sir, go back and rest." Chen Yun said with a smile.

Mr. Cui nodded with a smile and did not stay long.

Xie Xiuyun lived in the wing room next door, while Chen Yunjue's two servants were laying the floor in the room.

After a night's rest, I went to see Mr. Cui the next day.

When Mr. Cui heard that they were going to leave, he didn't ask them to stay and sent them out.

When he was far away from the village, Xie Xiuyun looked at Chen Yunjue and asked, "Yunjue, what do you think of this Mr. Cui?"

After getting along with Xie Xiuyun for a long time, Chen Yun also knew that if he found something wrong but he didn't, Xie Xiuyun would ask him this way afterwards.

Chen Yun frowned upon hearing the words, "Is there something wrong with this Mr. Cui?"

"I can't say it's wrong. Since this Mr. Cui is a Juren, why does he live in this remote village? Generally speaking, his grandsons are old at his age, but he only has an old wife and two maids." Xie Xiuyun said .

Chen Yun shook his head, "It's not unusual, there are quite a few people who are over fifty and have no children."

"I'm not saying that this Mr. Cui is a bad person, I just think...he has a lot of stories about him." Xie Xiuyun said, "We live in the east wing room. Generally speaking, if there are strangers staying overnight, the host's house will not attract them." Come to the East Wing."

Since ancient times, the East has been respected. If there are children and grandchildren in the family, they will arrange to live in the east courtyard. Just like Chen Yunjuan's father, he is the eldest son, so he lives in the east courtyard of the Chen Mansion. The courtyard area is larger than the other two younger brothers.

After being told by Xie Xiuyun, Chen Yun also felt something was wrong, "Brother Xiuyun, what does Mr. Cui mean to let us live in the East Wing?"

"We went there late yesterday. I don't know if you have noticed. Anyway, in my room, there are desks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. They are all old things. There are also some poems and books. They all have a name. , called Cui Rong, the banyan of the banyan tree." Xie Xiuyun said.

Chen Yun thought for a while and said, "I don't seem to have these in my room?"

"Maybe I'm older, so I was arranged to live in that house. I think this Mr. Cui might want to ask us for help." Biquku.

Chen Yun looked back, "But we've come so far...do we still have to turn around?"

"That's not necessary..." Xie Xiuyun smiled, "I contacted Fu Rong yesterday and asked him to check on this Mr. Cui. Let's go to the inn in the town to settle down first, and he will come to us."

Hearing this, Chen Yun said with emotion, "It seems that I still have a lot to learn."

Xie Xiuyun said, "Everyone has a different personality and takes a different path. You don't have to learn from others, you can walk your own path."

Chen Yun smiled, "Then I'll borrow brother Xiuyun's auspicious words."

"Haha, let's go, let's go to town."

After chatting enough, they continued on their way. The town was not far away, and they arrived in the town soon.

This town is called Fairy Town, and the name is very fairy.

The two found an inn to stay in the town, and after eating, they went out to wander the streets.

Back at the inn in the evening, just after dinner, Fu Rong came.

Several people sat in the wing room, listening to Fu Rong talk about this Mr. Cui.

Although this Mr. Cui is only a juren, he is well-known in this Fairy Town.

Mr. Cui has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son passed the Juren exam at a young age. Four or five years ago, he was supposed to go to Beijing to take the exam, but because he offended the villain, he was severely injured. The government only asked people to pay some money to settle the matter.

Since five years ago, the Cui family seemed to be in bad luck. The eldest son was seriously injured, so naturally he missed the competition, but he was not discouraged and planned to continue the exam in the next subject.

As the saying goes, cutting off a person's future is like killing one's parents. Maybe it's because the eldest son of the Cui family would get revenge after passing the exam. The eldest son of the Cui family was framed and imprisoned. The youngest son of the Cui family wanted to save his brother, so he ran around all the time, but he was discovered early in the morning. Drowning in the river, the government official asserted that he was drunk and fell into the water and drowned.

But this young man is still running for his brother, so how could he drink so much wine and drown?

This is not in line with common sense. Mr. Cui wanted to go to the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture to sue, but he was still on the way, when he heard that his youngest daughter had been tarnished and hanged herself.

Mr. Cui returned home, sold his family property, moved to the village, and visited his eldest son in prison every now and then, hoping that one day he would show mercy and let his only son go.

After Chen Yun heard the news from Fu Rong, Mr. Cui's old face and the cold courtyard flashed in front of his eyes, and his heart was full of anger.

"After five years, can we still find evidence to prove the innocence of the eldest son of the Cui family?" Chen Yun asked with a cold face.

Fu Rong frowned slightly, "This...it's been so long, I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain evidence."

Xie Xiuyun poured a glass of wine, and said flatly, "Is it reasonable to treat this kind of person? If you just show your identity, the grandson will probably kneel in front of you and beg for mercy."

Chen Yunjue: "..."

The truth still needs to be said.

He rubbed the center of his brows, and said with some annoyance, "Mr. Cui... is too pitiful."

Later, Mr. Cui did not continue to sue, because he was afraid that the eldest son would also be silenced, right?

Now huddled in a small village, lingering on his last breath, he also wanted to preserve the last bit of blood of the Cui family.

"The person who framed Mr. Cui was surnamed Gao?" Chen Yun knew that the surname was Gao. Only the natal families of Princess Zhongshun and Mrs. Tan had the surname Gao, and his family's official positions were not low. Although Mrs. Tan and Princess Zhongshun They were all dead, but it didn't affect the Gao family.

Fu Rong said, "The branch in Fairy Town is a side branch of the Gao family. There are many branches in the Gao family, and this branch is very close to the first branch."
