136.Open an ancestral hall

Faced with his daughter's righteous words, Hua Liancheng was helpless: "You, you spend so much time away from your two younger brothers, it's no wonder you don't recognize their handwriting."

Chu Jie also coaxed his sister: "Yu Nu is still very smart. The problem is that the handwriting on the bamboo slip is not Chu Wen's...

The people in the academy saw that the third brother could not tell where the bamboo slips came from, and could not provide any other evidence. The fourth brother had to make the teacher quarrel, and everyone looked at it, so the teacher had to punish them.

I reluctantly ended it. That’s not what I wanted them to be punished for.”

Chu Liang was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Second brother, you are talking nonsense. One thing is true in the academy, and another thing is true at home. It was obviously you who insisted on saying in the academy that my brother copied you..."

Chu Jie: "That was all a misunderstanding. Didn't I change my mind later?"

Chu Liang held it in for so long, but was always interrupted by Chu Liang: "Yes, you changed your story. That's because everyone knows that brother never writes poetry. So you said that brother copied it from you specifically for me.

Yes, here to give me a reference. Those people in the academy believe this nonsense!"

He seemed to be vomiting all the grievances and depression he had suffered over the past few months, and his tone was much higher.

Chu Wen looked at his younger brother from the side with apology in his eyes.

Hua Liancheng was puzzled: "But the handwriting on this bamboo slip is so immature, how can we explain it?"

Chu Liang: "What's so difficult about this? Second brother can continue to make it up! He said that brother meant well, but he was afraid that I would be embarrassed if I found out, so he specially found a literate boy in the courtyard to copy it. Since he was a boy he didn't recognize, so

Brother, I can't tell who wrote this bamboo slip.

Then I saw that the two poems were the same, and my elder brother was not good at words, so he thought I had misunderstood him right away. Also, his performance in the academy had always been inferior to that of his second brother, and he had long hated his second brother, so he took this opportunity to accuse his second brother of plagiarism.

.

What a joke, why do I hate him? Am I using the things my second aunt gave me to bribe my husband, or are there many confidantes with a bad reputation outside?"

Chu Jie: "Hey, fourth brother, you are going too far. It is obviously a small matter. You have only cleaned the clean room for a month. The smell is not good. Didn't my eldest brother go to help?

Are you done yet?"

Chu Liang: "Eldest brother Chu Ji came to help? Don't mention it. He just came here to show off, and took the opportunity to teach me and my brother a lesson. We can't be good at it, so we are not trusted by the people in the academy and we are at a disadvantage. Let us do it in the future.

Study diligently and surpass you as soon as possible, and you won’t have to suffer such grievances in the future.”

After all, they are still young, even in the later generations, they are only two junior high school students. When he said this, Chu Liang's voice was choked up.

Chu Wen patted his brother's back with his rough hands, silently comforting him.

Chu Liang was still angry: "What's the point of photographing me? It's better to tell the owner of the bamboo slips as soon as possible." In fact, his brother Chu Wen spent most of that month cleaning, and he was not allowed to do anything.

Hua Liancheng was on top, his face ashen and silent.

Chu Xujun slowly stood up and said: "My brothers, this is more than just a punishment for cleaning. It is said that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, let alone a place where grains are reincarnated. This is an insult to gentlemen. The two brothers also missed the birthday of their eldest mother for this reason.

Birthday banquet, this is unfilial.

And the most important thing is that the second brother replaced other people's poems and told lies and blamed it on his own brother. The reputation of the Chu family outside is only yours. This is an injustice to your brother and this is disharmony. Mother

, this matter cannot be ignored."

Chu Jie has been poked by this sister several times today: "Hey! Yunnu, I usually treat you well. I can see it, together, you are a family, and our second room is not the same as yours."

Okay? OK, then I understand. From now on, you are you and I am me, okay?"

Hua Liancheng also stood up: "Chu Jie, you can't get very far by showing off your words. It seems you don't understand what we said.

Someone, please help me!"

The words were loud and clear.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Chu Jie: "Auntie, are you kidding me? They just clean the room, but they haven't suffered any physical pain, so why do they need to ask for help?"

Chu Wen and Chu Liang looked very surprised. They didn't expect that they would even

The name of the person on the bamboo slip was not even asked, so my mother made a decision directly.

Chu Xujun was not surprised, but she thought too little. It turned out that the level of academies in this era was so varied.

The brothers acted like this without caring about the family's reputation. No wonder Hua Liancheng was furious.

**********

The Chu family's ancestral hall is located at the very back of the central axis and is not normally open.

The old lady's Ronghe Hall was the farthest away from the ancestral hall. When she arrived, she saw several strong men from the Chu family holding wooden sticks as thick as bowls and already in a posture.

The four brothers in the hall, with Chu Ji taking the lead, knelt neatly on the futon in front of the memorial tablet.

The old lady wailed: "Oh my God, my ancestors, what happened this late at night? Could it be that Cheng's being taken away has something to do with them?"

Chu Xia and Chu Qiu came from behind and just heard Chu Xujun explain a little bit.

Hua Liancheng had a cold face and said nothing, just waiting for the old lady to come before talking.

After Chu Qiu had just written the letter of divorce, he had already gone to Ronghe Hall to explain to the old lady.

The old lady was just concerned about whether Mrs. Cheng's crime would affect the Chu family, and she agreed with Chu Qiu's decision to write a divorce letter at this time: "I think Mr. Cheng is also a loser. He should have done this a long time ago. Who knew she

With such courage, she dares to touch anything. No wonder she wants to seek death, isn't she a damned person? This old woman like me is scared to death."

Today's Chu family is experiencing ups and downs.

The old lady was invited to the table by Mrs. Zhang, who asked her to drink hot Huo Cai soup to calm her mind.

Hua Liancheng's voice was calm: "Jun Gu, what the four brothers committed has nothing to do with the Cheng family for the time being. But if this matter is not dealt with, I'm worried that it may not be irrelevant in the future."

You must not be like the Cheng family. Then the Chu family's gold and silver mountains will be gone. The old lady said anxiously: "That won't work. You must not be like the Cheng family. Everyone, tell me quickly."

The two sons of the Cheng family who were kneeling down looked unnatural when they heard this.

Hua Liancheng's eyes turned: "Chu Ji, you tell me what happened in the academy."

Chu Jie was anxious, and the eldest brother on the side held him down: "It happened because the teacher assigned a "War Poetry" exercise. The second brother was not good at it, but wanted to win fame, and finally submitted a pretty good poem.

"

Old lady: "Isn't this great?"

Mrs. Zhang comforted her and asked her to listen slowly.

Chu Ji: "The problem is that the fourth brother said that the second brother's poem was copied from the third brother's, but the third brother could not tell where the poem came from. The people in the academy finally punished the third brother and the fourth brother."

Old lady: "So you didn't even come back to my birthday banquet for a poem? It's not just for the sake of trying, but you're lying to me?" It's time for a beating, but there is no need to open an ancestral hall for this person.

to the point, right?

Chu Ji nodded.

Everyone is used to the fact that the old lady only cares about her own affairs.
