Zhu Dedong was first slapped for twenty years and then slapped sixty years. He felt that his life was only half left. Now that he heard that he would still have eighty sticks, his life would be over. He was so scared that he cried: "Sir, please spare me, Xiaomin has not divorced his wife. Please spare me, please spare me."

Wan Tui Guan shouted, "I dare to deny it. Just now, Jiang had confessed that you wanted to divorce your wife and marry her. Zeng's brother Zeng Quan also heard you say you wanted to divorce your wife. If you don't know why, the Ming Dynasty rule should be 80 and move for two years."

Zhu Dedong kowtowed and said, "My Lord, I am just a joke and anger. Xiaomin dares to divorce his wife. If you divorce your wife, you need a divorce letter. Xiaomin did not write a divorce letter."

Zeng Yu, who was on the other hand, said: "If my elder brother had slapped you, your divorce letter had been written. You will go to court with Jiang Yuanrui today. Wouldn't you want to divorce your wife while Jiang Yuanrui sued me.

Zhu Dedong crawled and turned to Zeng Quan, and the two brothers Zeng Yu begged for mercy and said, "Brother, Li, I am lard, and I said something bad. I know I am wrong. Please ask the two adults for a love affair, let me spare this time, let me spare this time."

Zeng Yu said: "My sister is heartbroken. Since you want to divorce her, she will divorce you. You are sentenced to be sentenced to hard labor and have nothing to do with us."

Wan Tui slapped the table and said, "Zhu Dedong, I will give you a three-day deadline. If you cannot ask Zeng to change your mind within three days, you will be punished for divorce from your wife for no reason." He bowed to the prefect Lin and asked, "What are the instructions for the Lord of the House?"

Magistrate Lin said: "That's it. Zhu Dedong cannot get Zeng's forgiveness within three days, so he was beaten to eighty years and moved to the hall for two years." He nodded to Zeng Yu and went to the back hall with Wan Tui Guan.

Zeng Yu said to his elder brother Zeng Yin: "Brother, let's go." He walked to walk-

Zhu Dedong ignored the pain in his buttocks and back, used his hands and feet, and crawled over to pull Zeng Yun's straight hem: "Brother Zeng, I know I'm wrong, I'll change, I'll change, I'll change, I'll ask my brother to take me to see Ruolan." He turned to Zhu Yandong and said, "Second brother, please help me ask Brother Zeng and Brother Li, otherwise I'll die."

Zhu Yandong also knew that there was no joke. If Zhu Dedong could not get forgiven by the Zeng brothers and Zeng Ruolan, he would not be able to bear the hard labor for two years. Although the three Zhu brothers were not in harmony, they would not be gloating. They still had brothers and sisters. They went up to bow and smile and said, "Brother Zeng, Jiuli Gong, Dedong was also confused for a while. Now he has been severely punished by his husband and ancestors. He now knows that he has repented. Please let him go this time."

Zeng Yu said: "My second brother, it's not that we are heartless, but that Zhu Dedong's words and deeds are too disappointing. There is no need to say more, let's leave here." He pulled his elder brother Zeng Yun out of the curtain hall.

Zeng Yun's straight hem was tightly held by Zhu Dedong, and he was not willing to let go. He begged: "Brother Zeng, Brother Li, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, Ruolan and I have always been in love, this time I'm obsessed with my mistakes, I know I'm wrong, I'm spared this time."

Zhu Yandong also begged, Zeng Feng was soft-hearted and asked Zeng Yu: "Brother, what do you think you should do?"

Zeng Yu said: "My sister has to take charge of this, but my sister has been heartbroken by this person. If the Lord refuses to see him again, why should we say good things for him?"

Zhu Dedong hurriedly said: "Tell me where Ruolan is now, and I'll ask her to forgive me."

Zeng Yu was furious again and sneered: "You don't know where your wife, your daughter is. You don't know whether they are dead or alive or wandering on the streets, do you know? You still ride your sedan chair and accompany your mistress to have fun, right? People like you should be killed in the hall."

Zhu Dedong didn't dare to say anything, but pulled Zeng Yun's straight hem tighter.

Zhu Yandong knew that Zeng Quan was easier to talk and begged for each other. Zeng Quan said, "My brother has to make the decision on this matter. If my brother hadn't come forward this time, I would have been beaten to death by your Zhu family in Zhujiafan."

Zhu Yandong was so embarrassed. He didn't know what to say, but he blamed his third brother for doing things too well.

Zeng Yu saw that the temperature was almost the same and said, "I would like to ask my sister to ask my sister because Zhu family must be the righteous in the village. The elders of the clan and Zhu Dedong come to invite each other, otherwise they will not be allowed to talk."

When Zhu Dedong heard Zeng Yu say this, he was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "I will do it, I will do it."

Zeng Yu said: "Don't be too happy too early. This is the condition I proposed on behalf of my sister, but it is hard to say whether my sister is willing to forgive you or not. I want my sister to forgive you first, and then that condition."

Zhu Dedong said: "I'll go and ask Ruolan now--"

Zeng Yu said: "Don't scare my sister and Atong, sister Awei, don't pretend to be pitiful and compassionate. If you sincerely regret it, my sister will forgive you. You can go back to Zhujiafan with Brother Zhu first and come here tomorrow."

Zhu Dedong nodded and said, "Okay, okay, come tomorrow morning - Li, where do you all live?"

Zeng Yu sighed and said, "Would you say it wrong to say that you are unkind and righteous? Lao Shan followed my sister to Ishida and came back. You just need to care for me and ask Lao Shan if you want to know."

Zhu Dedong said ashamed: "Yes, Li Brother teaches him a lesson." He let go of Zeng Yun's straight hem.

Zeng Yun took a few steps and turned to Zhu Dedong and said, "Come to the Liu Pharmacy Shop in the south of the city and ask Dr. Liu Yiyuan to smear your injuries. The weather is hot, so be careful."

Liu Yiyuan, Shangrao, is specialized in treating bruises and injuries. He has a secret medicine passed down from ancestors and has very good results. Zeng Quan and Liu Yiyuan have some friendship. Knowing Liu Yiyuan's ability, Zhu Dedong is abominable, but he is always his brother-in-law, so he reminds him-

Zhu Dedong said gratefully: "Thank you, brother, thank you."

Zeng Yu went out first and let the elder brother sing, and he sang the black face.

After leaving the government gate, Zeng Yu and his elder brother Zeng Feng walked towards the west gate, but saw Wu Chunze coming out of a tea shop opposite and bowed and asked, "Brother Zeng, Jiuli, how is the case being tried?"

Zeng Yu told Wu Chunze about the trial situation. Wu Chunze nodded and said, "This is best. We must punish him and give him a chance to reform himself." He also said, "Jiang Yuanrui has gone back to Yongfeng. His fame is hard to guarantee. Alas, since he is a fraud and enters school, he should be more humble and not arrogant. Now he has fallen from a high place and has become a laughing stock."

Zeng Yu said: "It is your own fault. I guess after he entered school, he relied on the scarf above his head and offended many people in Yongfeng. Once he was cut off his fame and fortune, he would still suffer. He would not be able to bear the consequences, let alone a crooked way.

It was already noon, and the sun was in the air. The three of them were walking under the shade of locust trees by the side of the road. Someone's stomach was rumbling. Zeng Yu said: "This time thanks to Brother Wu's help, my brother and I asked Brother Wu for two drinks today."

Wu Chunze said: "In Shangrao, I am the host, of course I will ask."

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "I am also planning to have an apartment in Shangrao, so I'll invite you."

Wu Chunze smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just going to discuss with my brother. Don't you want to buy a house to settle down? I have a distant cousin. There is a house by Lingxi outside the north gate. It has a yard in front and back, with a total of four acres in size, making it convenient to enter and exit the city-"

Zeng Yu said: "That's great, I don't know how much it costs?" His mother, Zhou, didn't like the street houses in the city. She liked to have a large yard where you could plant flowers and plants.

Wu Chunze said: "Fifty taels of silver with patterns."

Zeng Yu said in surprise: "This seems to be too cheap."

The land price in Guangxin Mansion is worth ten taels of silver per mu. Wu Chunze said that the house in Beimen covers an area of ​​four acres, and it is worth forty taels even if it is sold as vacant land. Such a big house is only sold for fifty taels, which is a bit suspicious.

Sure enough, Wu Chunze said: "The reason why it is sold so cheap is because the house is not feng shui. My cousin is engaged in tea oil trading. He earned some money in his early years. However, since he built the house eighteen years ago, his business has been losing money repeatedly. It would be fine if he lost some money. What's worse is that his two sons, one is twelve years old and the other is nine years old. They died in three years, so the house has been deserted since seven years ago and cannot be sold. They will be rented out for several months every year, and there is no permanent resident."

After a change of topic, Wu Chunze said again: "The reason I took the liberty to recommend this house to my brother is of course because I am proficient in Yang Gongxiang's house art. I can go and have a look."

Zeng Yu said: "Okay, I have something to do in the past two days. Please ask Brother Wu to accompany me to see the house in a few days - brother will go and have a look together."

Zeng Quan said: "I haven't learned Feng Shui."

While talking, he came to the west gate. Zeng Yu invited Wu Chunze to stay at the Chunjiang Restaurant opposite. He and his elder brother Zeng Fu returned to the Tea Saint Inn first-

After Zeng Ruolan went to the government office, she felt up and down, and suddenly became angry, sad, sometimes pity, sometimes worried, and ordered Xiao Xi's servant Sixi to go to the government office to find out the news. Sixi came back and said that there was a Zao Li blocking her and not allowing her to go in. Zeng Ruolan was so anxious that she was restless. Zeng Ruolan's mother Zhou comforted her not to be anxious. Xiaoyu was responsible and would deal with it properly. Zeng Ruolan was always uneasy. When she saw her elder brother and younger brother come back, she hurriedly asked: "How is the case being tried?"

Zeng Yu then talked about the trial process and focused on the scene of Zhu Dedong and Jiang Yuqin biting each other's court. Zeng Ruolan bit her lip and listened silently. He heard that Zhu Dedong and Jiang Yuqin were each hit by sixty slaughters, and felt both happy and heartbroken. He wanted to beat the love man, but he was worried that he was too sad. When he heard Wan Tui Guan say that he would beat him eighty slaughters again, Zeng Ruolan couldn't help but exclaim, thinking that he would be beaten to death.

Zeng Yu slowly picked up the teacup and drank water at this critical moment. Zeng's mother Zhou said angrily: "Tell me quickly, it's your sister who is anxious."

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Sister, you must be calm and learn some skills to control your husband in the future. Brother and I can only help you." He said what happened later.

Zeng’s mother Zhou nodded and said, “This is good, Ruolan will be proud of her when she returns to Zhu’s family.”

Zeng Yu said again: "I wish my brother-in-law to come to plead with mercy tomorrow. My sister must not forgive him in just a few words. At least for a long time to make him suffer. When my sister is soft-hearted, she will think about the torment he has suffered these days - Okay, Wu Xiucai is still waiting for my elder brother and I to drink in the restaurant opposite. I will ask the restaurant staff to send some dishes and snacks."

The Zeng brothers and Wu Chunze drank to Shenshichu. Wu Chunze resigned and agreed to go outside the north gate to see the house early on the morning of July 13th.

Zeng Yu and Zeng Yu returned to Cha Sheng Inn and talked about buying a house. Zeng Yu said: "If Li brother buys a house with less money, he can slowly find a way. No matter how cheap the price of this house is, he should not buy it."

Zeng’s mother Zhou and Zeng Ruolan heard about buying a house, and hurriedly asked what happened. Zeng Yu said, and Zeng Ruolan said, “Sister has twenty taels of private silver here, you can use it first.”

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Sister, I have money. I attended a literary gathering in Yuanzhou. I was the first in the eight-part essay. I got a reward of dozens of taels of silver. I wrote couplets for Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain. I got sixty taels of silver to make money from silver. How could I shorten the money for buying a house? I will go to see what the house was said by Wu Xiucai. It is said that Feng Shui changes step by step. Feng Shui is not fixed. Maybe that house is a good place for IKEA after I make a slight change."

Zeng Ruolan asked: "Are you so proficient in Feng Shui?"

Zeng Yu smiled and said, "Xingyin House has not yet seen the mystery of the hall. Xiangyang House has already obtained the true teachings of my uncle. Sister, think about it, Feng Shui is my living-making skill. I originally planned to be a Feng Shui master if I didn't get into a scholar. This ancestral skill cannot be abandoned."

The next morning, Zeng Ruolan was dressing up in a neat manner and was waiting for Zhu Dedong to apologize. Zeng Yu took his little sister Niu Niu and Atong, Awei and his two nieces to visit nearby Tea Mountain. This is Zeng Yu's carefulness. Don't let Atong. Sister Awei saw Zhu Dedong begging hard, so that Zhu Dedong could maintain a fatherly face.

Tea Mountain is a small mountain where Lu Yu and Lu Hongjian grew tea in the Tang Dynasty. Later it was called Tea Mountain. There was Lu Yuquan at the foot of the mountain. Lu Yu's "Tea Classic" commented that this spring was the fourth spring. Zeng Yu and the old maid Mei Xiang took three little girls into the small gate of Guangjiao Temple. They found the well behind the Great Compassion Hall. The inner circle of the well was octagonal, and the wall of the well was made of red and blue stones. Niu Niu ran over to look into the well first and said in surprise: "Brother, come and look in the mirror-Atong, Awei, come and see clearly."

Lu Yuquan's water is clear, deep at the bottom of the well, reflecting the sky light, forming a natural water mirror, with eyebrows, eyes, and facial features clearly visible, clearer than bronze mirrors. The three little girls shine at the well water, chattering like a few little birds flying from the tea mountain—

Zeng Yu also took a photo at the well and asked Niu Niu and her two nieces: "Who is the most beautiful person in this well? To be honest.

The seven-year-old Niu Niu said, "Brother is the most beautiful."

Eight-year-old Atong said: "I also say that it is the most beautiful uncle of Carp - Awei, you haven't said it yet."

Five-year-old Awei is short, and Mei Xiang holds her to look at Jingshui and says, "Mom is the most beautiful."

Attong said: "Mom is not here, it means who is the most beautiful person in the well now."

A Wei opened his childish clear eyes and looked up at Zeng Yu very seriously—

Sister Atong corrected her sister again and said, "I want to see the shadow in the well."

A Wei looked down at the reflection in the well again and said, "Then it's the most beautiful uncle of carp." He was reluctant

Zeng Yu laughed.

Since Lu Yuquan, the fourth most important thing in the world, of course he had to get water back to cook tea. The monks in the temple made money and sold gourds beside Lu Yuquan. Zeng Yu spent five cents to buy a big gourd, first filled half of the gourd spring water, and gave each of the three children a few sips. Suddenly, someone behind him whispered: "Mr. Zeng, you met by chance."
