As the saying goes, the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. Not to mention that sometimes it is quite accurate. In the morning, a beautiful colorful cloud appeared in the east sky for a long time. It was still clear during the day. After nightfall, it suddenly started to rain heavily.
The heavy rain was so strong, like a god carrying a huge basin pouring water for washing his feet down.
It was rain and wind, lightning and thunder, the sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and then the earth shook with a click.
Even the towering Chang'an City, known as the world's largest capital, seems to be shaky under the power of nature, and is very small in the slanting rain all over the sky, as if it will be submerged in the vast sea of water at any time.
The rain flows across the long and flat streets, like rivers, and the water flowing on the eaves on both sides is like a water curtain cave.
There were originally a bright light hanging under the eaves of those wealthy families, but most of them were blown down by the strong wind, and they fell to the ground and were ravaged into paper-paste bamboo racks.
The few lanterns that survived were as weak as ants facing a big tree under the shining lightning.
There was not even a figure on the long street, but it seemed like there were thousands of troops. The sound of rain and howling wind were like galloping horses, and the thunder was like war drums. The streets and alleys were so lively, as if there were ghosts celebrating wildly.
There is a rich mansion in Kangyangfang in the north of Chang'an City. There are two big words "Cui Mansion" written on the plaque on the door, and the elegant pen style seems to interpret the prosperity of the family.
This is the residence of the Cui family, a great Shandong clan of the Huangmen Assistant, in the capital.
The house here is also in the storm.
At this moment, another flash of heaven and earth was heard, and a loud bang, and a scream came from the mansion, and the voices were particularly shrill in the night sky.
Killed!The dead... A woman started shouting wildly, keep shouting, repeating.
The lights flashed quickly in the dark mansion. The dull mansion, which was originally empty and like a ghost house, soon had figures and voices, and there were more heating for a while.
The dead man is the husband!A voice said, "I've been struck by lightning. Go and call Alang and his wife, hurry up!"
After a while, a fat middle-aged man wearing a white underwear rushed over from under the eaves. It was Cui Riyong, the male owner of the Numen Courtyard. He didn't even have time to criticize a coat and ran over in his pajamas.
Not to mention wearing clothes, I only wore one shoe on my feet.
I heard that his son Cui Mo was struck by lightning, how could he not be anxious?
Although his son sometimes causes him a lot of trouble, he even wishes Cui Mo would die, but he really dies. Only parents can understand the sad feeling of a white-haired person giving birth to a black-haired person.
If the dead person is his daughter, he is not that sad, but the men of the Cui family are the hope of the next generation of the family!
In the eyes of the gentry, the interests of the family are even more important than the interests of the empire.
Cui Riyong staggered into the room and took a look. He saw a long black strip lying on the big bed in a shape of a figure-eight, with two maids kneeling on the ground, and he was already scared.
Cui Ri walked to the bed with a trembling trembling, took the lantern from the servant beside him and looked closer. The human-shaped black skin had been battered, but Cui Mo was his biological son. After looking at the outline of his face, could he still not recognize it?
Cui Ri softened his legs, and the lantern fell to the ground with a clang, and the man leaned back.
The slaves hurriedly held it, Alang, Alang... kept shouting, and another person stepped on the lantern on the ground with his feet, and after he fell over it, it started to burn.
After a while, some men and women came in, including Cui Riyong's wife Jia.
When Jia saw this, he immediately burst into tears with heart and soul. He was still concerned about the reserve of the daughter of the Shenma family?
Cui Mo is her only son, and none of the other sons were born to her...
Including Cui Riyong's legitimate son is Cui Mo, who is the real legal heir. However, if the legitimate son dies, he has to use the illegitimate son to act as the heir. At least he is not in the blood of the Cui family.
For Cui Riyong and Jia, this not only includes emotional issues, but also has some powerful relationships.
This legitimate son is not only from the Cui family, but also from the Jia family, and can coordinate all parties.
Most of the other sons' biological mothers have poor backgrounds, and some even prostitutes, who ask their sons to fight against the big tripod. There is no one in their parents' home. How will their family develop in the future?
Once Cui Mo died, Jia's situation became worse. If she could not give birth to another son, Cui Riyong could legally divorce her based on the interests of the family and marry another daughter of a noble family as the wife.
What's more, Cui Mo is the flesh that fell off her body!
So Jia's sadness was even worse than Cui Riyong, and he was crying to death.
After all, Cui Riyong is a man who is stronger than a woman. After fainting, he quickly accepted the reality and said: If you die, report to the official first, and report to Jingzhao Mansion.
At this time, Wang Changling, a young aide who was watching on the side, said: Your husband is obviously defeated by a natural disaster. I think it is better not to make a statement about this matter, just say that he will die if he is not cured.Mr. Cui is his father, so the government will naturally not pursue the matter.
Cui Riyong said inexplicably: Why do you need to hide it?
Wang Changling pointed to the roof and said: If a person is at home, disaster will come from the sky. I am afraid that people will be gossiped about it and have been punished by God. Wouldn't it affect the reputation of the Cui family and make the deceased uneasy?
Maybe it was Wang Changling's calm attitude that angered Jia, or maybe it was because she was too sad and needed a vent. After hearing this, she was furious and pointed at Wang Changling's nose and cursed: Is it punished by God?You are gloating, are you jealous of Mo'er cursing him behind his back?!
Wang Changling looked embarrassed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: Madam, I blame Wang for wrongly.
Cui Riyong also hurriedly grabbed his wife and advised: People cannot be resurrected when they die. If you are not satisfied with our own people, why are you angry with others?
I'm not angry!
Jia gritted his teeth and said coldly, "All natural disasters are man-made disasters!"Speaking of which, it was Mo'er who was killed by this surname Wang!Last time I said I would send Mo'er back to my hometown to avoid it for the time being, which was a dissuasion from the evil words of Wang. Otherwise, how could the miserable thing happen today?
Wang Changling said in surprise: I once advised me in front of Mr. Cui, but I can’t know astronomy and geography. How can I budget for natural disasters and accidents?The wife was so sad that she spoke casually, and I didn't care about it.If there is anything wrong with my suggestions just now, please ask Mr. Cui and his wife to take a lot of money.
Cui Riyong hurriedly advised: Nothing is wrong. Mr. Wang has just made a good idea to save my Cui family. I haven’t thanked my kindness yet... Just understand your wife’s mood.
After hearing this, Wang Changling agreed and clasped his fists and said: I'll avoid it first.
etc!Jia stopped him and said, "What else are you avoiding?"Get out of the Cui family now, don’t eat and drink here!
Bang!Cui Riyong was furious and slapped him in the face, causing Jia to fall to the ground, and half of his face covered with his hands suddenly became swollen.
Wang Changling stood there in shock and felt a little at a loss. Although he had learned a lot, he was young and had limited experience in life and was not proficient in everything. He lacked human nature and worldly style.
He was stunned for a long time, and finally blushed and said: I will leave the Cui family now... However, Mr. Cui once promised us that if we have a great reward for establishing a great function, I am very short of money now, and there is no other way in a short period of time. Can you...
Cui Riyong asked: How much do you want?
Wang Changling said: I don’t want a point more than ten thousand coins, I’m urgently using it.
Wanquan?What do you use to pay so much money?Cui Riyong was stunned. Where did I get so much money at once?What's more, Mo'er is unfortunate, and the funeral will cost a lot...
Jia on the ground sneered: I must have gone to Yicuilou to redeem your mistress, right?Shameless thing!Our Cui family is delicious and delicious for you, but you just want to find flowers and willows.The vixen named Bu Yao confused Mo'er, and the one named Wang, and sowed the disagreement from it.The surname Wang is not a good person. He is jealous of a dirty guy, and I am afraid he wishes Mo'er died early!
Wang Changling said angrily: I call you a wife out of respect.You can insult me, but you can't insult Bu Yao!Although she fell into the world, she had no choice but to be kind, but also my life-saving benefactor.When I was in my hometown, I had no grains of grain in a hundred miles. I was in Chang'an and was about to starve to death. First, Bu Yao took me in, and then through the relationship between my husband (Cui Mo), I was allowed to make a living in Cui's mansion.I respect her and am willing to do anything for her!
Tears flashed in Wang Changling's eyes. I was dirty and smelly at that time, and I was so embarrassed that I was even worse than a dog. Do you know what I was in my mood?At this time, a woman who was untainted from the mud did not dislike the ugly people she had never known... If I do not plan her kindness in my heart and do not have the desire to repay her kindness, she would be worse than a beast!
After saying that, he held his fists and bowed: This gift is thankful to Gong Zhizhi for his kindness. I am not a person who is greedy for money and property. It is better not to be rewarded. The friendship between our master's scepter will be broken!After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mr. Wang stay!Cui Riyong's eagerness to retain talents was revealed on his face. At this very moment, Mr. Wang must not be angry, let's talk about it in detail later.
At this time, Jia cried: You don’t have to worry about Mo'er, just an outsider. I know you have planned to divorce me, this ugly woman, and I’m looking for a new love, right?
Cui Riyong was not a human being, and said depressedly: "Your wife is not in the court, don't you understand my character?"I have followed me for decades in vain!
At this time, Wang Changling had already walked into the rain, and his whole body was soaked by the heavy rain. His thin figure looked even thinner.Cui Riyong shouted from behind: Why don’t you send an umbrella to Mr. Wang!
Wang Changling walked to the entrance of the cave, turned around and clasped his fists and said: No need, let’s go.
The rain has no intention of stopping, and the people in the rain are struggling to fight for life and dignity.
The heavy rain was so strong, like a god carrying a huge basin pouring water for washing his feet down.
It was rain and wind, lightning and thunder, the sky and the earth suddenly lit up, and then the earth shook with a click.
Even the towering Chang'an City, known as the world's largest capital, seems to be shaky under the power of nature, and is very small in the slanting rain all over the sky, as if it will be submerged in the vast sea of water at any time.
