Patriarch, he doesn't want to take the imperial examinations

"Young Master Meng! Uncle Meng!"

Meng Hong turned his head and saw Deng Zhaozhao coming out of the door dressed in filial obedience.With red eyes, Deng Zhaozhao came to Meng's father and son with sobs, and bowed to him.

"Miss Zhaozhao!" Meng Hong also bowed back, seeing the girl crying very sadly, he comforted him, "You can't come back to life after death, Miss Zhaozhao's mourning will change."

Who would have thought that it would be fine not to mention it, but Deng Zhaozhao cried even more when he said it.Meng Hong hated seeing a girl crying in front of him the most. When the girl cried, he was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort her.

"Miss Zhaozhao, don't cry, is there something going on inside..." Seeing the girl crying so sadly, he didn't seem to be crying, but seemed very wronged.

Deng Zhaozhao cried and choked: "I... my father's bones were not cold yet, and they actually fought for the family property. Woohoo..." Heartbroken, weeping so hard.

Meng Hong and his father looked at each other, thinking, why is this family so anxious, Deng Yuming just died, so they are anxious to fight for the family property.Seeing that Deng Zhaozhao was still crying in a blink of an eye, he couldn't find suitable words to comfort him.

"Meng Hong, go home." At this moment, Meng Zhen called out, Meng Hong hurriedly recovered, said goodbye to Deng Zhaozhao, and was about to leave with his father.

But Deng Zhaozhao called to stop him: "Wait a minute, both of you."

Deng Zhaozhao wiped away the tears from her face, her eyes were even redder than before, she said: "You are here to pay homage to my father, please come with me." Just now she stood in front of her father's spirit and cried filial piety, and several brothers-in-law There was an argument about the property in the family, and it got louder and louder. She couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but interjected, but was scolded by her elder brother-in-law, saying that she was a girl filmmaker, why should she intervene when adults talk? Well, with this strength, it's better to cry the old man a few more times.

When the elder brother-in-law said these words, he secretly teased her a few words, saying that she looks so small and crying like pear blossoms with rain on her face.He also said that when the old man is buried in the ground, he will take her in as a child, so that she can take care of her when she goes home.

The other brother-in-laws helped the tyrant to do evil, and they also joked a few words.Deng Zhaozhao felt ashamed for a moment and ran out from the mourning hall.This eldest brother-in-law was uneasy and kind to her when her father was alive. At that time, he was under the protection of her father, so he didn't dare to act blatantly. Now that her father is dead, the mother is useless. Dare to mess around before.

She was sleeping in her own room last night, and her eldest brother-in-law broke in suddenly in the middle of the night. She was so frightened that she was scared to death, and quickly hid with brother Bowen who was guarding her father's spirit.

She told her mother about this in private, and her mother told her not to say anything, otherwise it would be her reputation that would be bad, and it would be difficult to get married at that time.Mother also said that after her father was buried, these people would all leave, and then she would ask the eldest lady to find a good family for her, so that she could live the rest of her life in peace, and don't think about anything else.

Deng Zhaozhao ran out of the mourning hall and ran all the way to the gate of the courtyard, breathing heavily. She felt that the house was too dull, and she couldn't breathe because of the stuffiness.It would be great if daddy was still around, daddy loves her the most, how could she be wronged like this.

The more Deng Zhaozhao thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, he wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and saw Meng's father and son standing outside the gate of their house.She heard the conversation between Menzi and Meng's father and son clearly. It turned out that the aunt did not let them enter.

Before their family and the Meng family had a lawsuit over the death of their father, the county magistrate judged the Meng family not guilty, and his father died from a fall, not the Meng family.

She thought that since the county magistrates had judged the Meng family not guilty, they must be innocent. She didn't understand why the aunt didn't let the Meng family come in.Seeing that Meng's father and son were about to be driven away by the door, she hurriedly called out to stop him.

Bringing someone in now, Deng Zhaozhao thought about what happened to him, and couldn't help but want to cry again.

The unlucky door stopped them again: "Miss Six, the Da Furen said that they are not allowed to be admitted by family members."

Deng Zhaozhao was suffocating in his heart, because his father was dead and even dared to bully her, she said angrily: "I want to let them in, get out of the way, you are the master or I am the master. My second uncle is inside, I'll call him." The door quickly stepped aside when he heard Deng Bowen's father's name.

Meng's father and son followed Deng Zhaozhao into Deng's house, and on the way to the mourning hall, they met many people who came to mourn.

"Master Meng, come see off Lao Deng!" Someone greeted Meng Zhen, who nodded, but couldn't remember who it was.There were people who greeted him further ahead, and he answered them one by one, but he still didn't know the names of these people.

When Mengzhen passed by, these people suppressed their voices and said: "Oh, why did you say that this old Deng died so well? A few days ago, I saw him talking and laughing, and in the blink of an eye, he said no. It’s gone, life is really impermanent, things are unpredictable.”

"Hey, who said no, I bumped into him on the street the morning before yesterday, and he greeted me. I asked him where he was going, and he said he was going to pray to the gods to give him a son. At that time, I thought he was joking, thinking The son wants to go crazy, it doesn't seem to be the case now, hey, have you heard that his youngest wife is pregnant?"

"It seems that when I offered incense to Lao Deng in the mourning hall just now, I heard from his family members that Mrs. Eight is pregnant, and it seems that it is less than three months old. What a crime. The child lost his father before it was born. It is a boy. Forget it, there is a family business to inherit, for a girl, tsk tsk... Lao Deng is such a crazy son, I am afraid that he will not be able to rest in peace even if he dies."

"Fart, boy is enough, you didn't look at the faces of those people in the mourning hall, Lao Deng's bones have not yet been buried, and he is fighting for other people's property. If it is really a son, there will be no farts left when he is born. Moreover, it is hard to say whether he can live to be born..."

"You mean, someone will harm this child..."

"Who knows, after all, people's hearts are broken, and even ghosts are afraid, don't you think so? Oh, posthumous child, how hard..."

These people talked about Deng's family affairs with each other. Although their voices were low, they were still heard by the dog-eared Mengzhen.

Meng Zhen didn't say anything, he and Meng Hong followed Deng Zhaozhao, turned a few turns, and entered the Deng's mourning hall.

In the mourning hall, there is white cloth and white flags, with a large Chinese character "Dian" in the middle. The Deng family, dressed in linen and filial piety, knelt beside the coffin and burned paper.

It was Deng Bowen who greeted them.Deng Yuming had no children, and his daughters were married off to the youngest. Although they had five sons-in-law, they had foreign surnames. After some discussion among the Deng family, Deng Yuming's brother, Bo Wen, was asked to preside over the funeral. In the name of Deng Yuming's mourning.

Deng Bowen was here yesterday afternoon. He stayed awake all night last night and didn't close his eyes. He seems to be in a very bad state of mind at the moment.He led the Meng family father and son to his uncle's mourning hall. Seeing that it was Meng Zhen, the Deng family immediately stopped crying and stared at him with resentment.

The eldest uncle of the Deng family stood up first: "You killed my father-in-law, so you have the nerve to come!"

"Your father-in-law fell to his death by himself, how can we blame it on us, and the county magistrate..." Meng Hong argued with reason, but Meng Zhen stopped him with a look before he finished speaking. They came here to offer incense sticks , Why talk so much with an unreasonable crap.

Dad Bowen, who was chatting with several masters at the side, noticed the situation here, walked over quickly, and scolded, saying that all the condolences are guests, and you must not be disrespectful to others.The eldest uncle of the Deng family was devastated and sat back resentfully.

But he said that why the eldest uncle of the Deng family wanted to target the Meng family father and son everywhere was because of Meng Qing.

The eldest uncle of the Deng family has a grain and oil shop in Xianghe County, and the family mainly relies on it for income. If you say that the uncle of the Deng family is a black heart, the grain in the store is often sold to customers as inferior ones. Over time, everyone loses their integrity. Don't come to his store to buy food.

The business was sluggish, and the eldest uncle of the Deng family was worried, so someone gave him an idea, asking him to put the shop under the name of Meng Qing, a grain merchant in the county. , this business is under the name of Mengqing, and it will be activated immediately.

After hearing this, the eldest uncle of the Deng family immediately went to talk to Meng Qing.Meng Qing’s main focus when looking for a partner in business is the character of the other party. If the other party’s character is good, he is willing to pay them even if they don’t need affiliation fees.If the character is bad and there is no integrity, even if you give him a shop, he will not accept it.

He was also doing business in Xianghe County, Meng Qing knew exactly what kind of character this uncle of the Deng family was, after a little inquiring, so when this person proposed to put the shop under his name, he refused without even thinking about it.

For this reason, the eldest uncle of the Deng family has a lot of grudges against Meng Qing.Why is it okay for others to rely on him under his name, but not him.He thought that Meng Qing was deliberately targeting him, deliberately suppressing him, and not seeing him well.

Later, the eldest uncle of the Deng family changed his career to other industries, and he didn't have much contact with Meng Qing, but he never forgot the original enmity.

Until his father-in-law died this time.His father-in-law fell to his death at the door of Meng's house. He wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail their Meng's family, but the county magistrate favored their Meng's family, so he let him go with a few understatements.

The eldest uncle of the Deng family couldn't hold back his breath. Seeing that the father and son dared to come to express condolences to his father-in-law, he was immediately out of breath, and was about to explode, but was stopped by Deng Bowen's father.

Speaking of Deng Bowen's father, the eldest uncle of the Deng family was also very displeased. The two families do not communicate with each other on weekdays, and when he died, he just pretended to be in front of him. Who would he do it for?

The eldest uncle of the Deng family cursed secretly, and raised his eyes to see Deng Zhaozhao following behind Meng's father and son, and couldn't help cursing angrily: "Deng Zhaozhao, why are you hiding there? Come here and burn paper for father-in-law, you've only burned half of it!" , Why did you run away, be careful that your father-in-law blames you."

When the eldest son-in-law shouted, Deng Zhaozhao immediately trembled in fright.She first looked at her cousin Deng Bowen. The cousin was receiving people who came to express condolences, so she didn't notice it at all, and then she looked at the second uncle. The second uncle was also talking to someone else. Crying, the body unconsciously took two steps forward, close to Meng Hong's back.

Meng Hong was taking incense with his father, when he suddenly felt something touching him, he turned his head and saw Deng Zhao Zhaohong's eyes twitching.

The elder uncle over there is still shouting: "Come here, he is offering incense to his father-in-law, why are you following his ass, you have no winks, come here soon."

They belonged to a family. From the outsiders' point of view, the elder uncle's yell was to reprimand Deng Zhaozhao, which was reasonable, but Deng Zhaozhao did not respond for a long time, which was obviously rude.

Seeing the two sides like this, Meng Hong sensed that something was wrong, and asked Deng Zhaozhao who was behind him in a low voice: "Are you afraid of him?" Deng Zhaozhao only sobbed softly and did not answer.

Meng Hong thought, Miss Zhaozhao looked scared, it must be that beast, Miss Zhaozhao, but he will leave with his father after offering incense, and it is not good for him to intervene in the affairs of the Deng family.

Poor girl Zhaozhao.When Meng Hong was thinking this way, Deng Zhaozhao had already left behind him and returned to the back of the mourning hall.

Seeing someone approaching, the eldest son-in-law stuffed a stack of paper money into her hand, "Here, burn it for the old man, and let the old man see that you are not in vain."

Deng Zhaozhao took it, and burned paper money for his father while crying.The eldest uncle still whispered in her ear: "It's time for you and your elder sister to guard the mourning hall tonight, and my brother-in-law will accompany you. I went to find you last night. What are you running for? I won't do anything to you. In the mourning hall tonight Come on, why did you run away to your cousin, who is a lonely man and a widow, and is not afraid of gossip. Deng Bowen will not guard the mourning hall tonight, so let people have a good rest and brother-in-law will accompany you."

The eldest son-in-law's hand suddenly rested on Deng Zhaozhao's, and Deng Zhaozhao, as if he was being burned, quickly withdrew his hand, took the paper money and ran to her fourth sister crying.

The elder uncle saw that the man had escaped, so he had to go back to the other uncles of the Deng family to discuss how they should divide the property of the father-in-law's family equally.

The so-called water poured out by married daughters, Deng Yuming's first five daughters are already married and cannot share his property.

Deng Yuming has no children. It stands to reason that he should find a son-in-law to inherit his family business. However, the first five daughters were all married and none of them recruited a son-in-law. To the door-to-door son-in-law, so he waited and waited until all the daughters were married but did not wait for a son.

When Zhaozhao came here, he knew that he was doomed to have no children in this life, so he decided to recruit a son-in-law for Zhaozhao so that he could inherit his family's incense.

Originally, Deng Yuming planned to marry Zhao Zhaoxu to Meng Hong, even if Meng Hong didn't want to be their family's son-in-law, he not only married Zhao Zhao in a glorious manner, but also gave half of the family's property to Meng Hong and Zhao Zhao.

But Meng Hong didn't want to, and all this became a bubble.Deng Yuming started looking for Zhaozhao's son-in-law again, but he didn't find the son-in-law, so he died first and went away.

The property of the family was not distributed, and the sons-in-law took advantage of the danger to sneak in and try to embezzle the property of the Deng family.

They are sitting next to the old man's coffin arguing about the distribution of property.Meng Zhen and Meng Hong could hear it clearly when they were offering incense, but this is the business of Deng's family, so it has nothing to do with them.

Meng Zhen lit the three sticks of incense in his hand, raised his head and bowed three times, then inserted the incense into the incense burner, looked at the big "Dian" character above his head, but felt very calm.

"Old Deng, go all the way!"

Meng Zhenxin had just finished reading silently, when suddenly a person rushed in from outside the door. The man looked flustered, and ran to the mourning hall to report to their eldest lady: "Madam, no...it's not good, the eighth lady has a lot of blood on her body. , child, I am afraid that the child will not be able to keep it..."
