The filial piety period

Weird knowledge had to be taught, leaving Zhen Bang and the others not much time for abacus.

However, this made the children practice more intensively. Every time it was time to calculate the abacus, a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire school. Everyone's speed improved by leaps and bounds. Except for Tie Xiaozhuang, everyone basically entered Jiabaizi Ninety Breaths.

s level.

Fan Zheng didn't understand what this meant.

It's a good thing anyway.

Tie Xiaozhuang looked over and over and saw that his fingers were not as thick as a radish. Why couldn't he keep up with everyone else's speed?

Frustrated.

Fan Zheng patted Tie Xiaozhuang on the shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, you're still young. When you grow up..."

Tie Xiaozhuang looked forward to it: "Then you can keep up?"

Fan Zheng inserted his knife: "No, it's even worse."

The whole school burst into laughter, and Tie Xiaozhuang lay helplessly on the table, feeling hopeless.

Everyone can do it, but he can't, and he feels like he's been abandoned by the world.

"There are countless roads in the world. If you don't have talent for this one, you can try other roads. It doesn't matter if you get a bloody head. Anyway, you are young." Fan Zheng said sternly. "Mr. Li Zhengyi, he is rich in learning and playing chess.

He is proficient in calligraphy, painting, archery, and archery, so why not learn from him? Maybe your future lies with him?"

"This is not just for Tie Xiaozhuang. Teaching you abacus is to pave a way for you to make a living, but it should never restrict you from developing in other directions. On the contrary, the more capable you are, the better I will be in the future.

The more glory you gain, maybe Fangzheng’s wealth will still depend on you?”

"When will Fang Zheng be so old that he has to use a cane, and you will come to see Fang Zheng while carrying bacon, and I won't be able to smile with my toothless mouth?"

The students laughed, and even Wu Sang showed a bright smile.

Bacon is a half-true and half-false joke, Shu Xiu wants to know more about it.

Li Zhengyi, who entered the workshop, crossed his arms and bowed to Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng's knowledge was relatively simple, and Li Zhengyi was originally arrogant and didn't think highly of Fan Zheng.

Hey, this is the spirit of book business.

But what Fan Zheng said just now made Li Zhengyi have no choice but to obey.

What is mind and what is pattern!

Li Zhengyi must admit that it is a bit uncomfortable to watch his students learn other people's skills.

If you are not a gentleman, you will not have any selfish thoughts. At most, you can control them.

…

In September, the sky is high and the clouds are clear.

Ku Liu, who was suffering from illness, finally passed away, and Ku Zhenzhen was about to cry but had no tears.

Ku Zhenzhen herself had no money, no energy, and no one at home who could make any decisions, so she could not organize the funeral at all.

The men and women who were temporarily idle in the workshop were summoned by Fan Zheng, and they all came to help arrange the funeral hall, clean the body, change the shroud, put the coffin into the coffin, prepare meals, and arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Hosting a banquet is a must, and it is nothing more than an advance payment.

As a courtesy, you have to eat, right?

As for helping, you can’t let people go back and eat before coming back, right?

Whether or not you are worthy of being upright can be seen in these little things.

If you can't even organize the funeral, the organization of this company is too poor and the prestige is insufficient, you should resign as soon as possible, and don't harm others or yourself.

Because Ku Zhenzhen's family didn't have much money, the coffin could only be riveted with a few thin leather boards from Fan's Woodwork Workshop.

It is impossible to give it away for free, and there is absolutely no reason to give it away in a coffin - unless it is a life-and-death enemy.

Fan Zheng asked Ku Zhenzhen what he meant, and bought the coffin with part of his wages advanced from the incense shop.

It is impossible to give it away for free, but the cost price is still negotiable.

Fan Laoshi raised his head and glanced at Fan Zheng, laughed and said "good intentions", and lowered his head to plan the board.

Yuan Luan took the money to buy the coffin and counted two hundred coins with his backhand to Fan Zheng.

"This is the family's incense money."

I don’t know the rules of courtesy for the people of Chang’an City, but the rule of Dunhuafang is that the price of a dou of rice should be within twenty cents.

If you consider that a strong man generally earns between twelve and fifteen cents a day, you will know that this amount is not low.

What Yuan Luan meant was that the money to buy the coffin should not be less, but you could pay more for it with gifts.

Business is business, and favor is favor. They should not be confused.

In terms of human relations, Fan Laoshi and his wife have done a good job, otherwise Fan Zheng wouldn't be so sensible, right?

Ku Zhenzhen, dressed in mourning clothes, was sitting on the futon, looking even more pitiful and pitiful, which made Tie Da Zhuang's heart itch.

Rumor in the world: If you want to be pretty, be filial.

Fan Zheng said intentionally or unintentionally: "Don't harm others. It is clearly written in the "Zhenguan Law" that if you marry after the death of your parents or husband, it will last three years. The period of filial piety is twenty-seven months, and you are not allowed to talk about marriage.

You are not allowed to drink and have fun, do you understand?"

The voice was not loud, but Tie Dazhuang and Ku Zhenzhen could hear it clearly.

This is not just for Tie Dazhuang, but also for Ku Zhenzhen.

The punishment of the law is still a trivial matter. If you really commit this crime, the sarcastic words and quarrels from the neighbors can kill someone.

Even if you can move elsewhere, this bad reputation will stay with you for a lifetime and cannot be washed away.

This is also one of Fongzheng's obligations, to warn residents in advance not to violate the law.

But there are always some people in this world who won’t shed tears when they see the coffin, always thinking that the unlucky person must not be me.

Otherwise, Datang's prison would have been empty long ago.

Generally speaking, the time for observing filial piety in the Tang Dynasty followed Confucian rules. It was twenty-seven months, which is reasonable if you consider three years.

The law supports remarriage and remarriage, but that is after the twenty-seven months of filial piety, and you must abide by the rules during this period.

Of course, if Aunt Fan is willing to observe the rules, she must not force herself to do so.

Generally speaking, the Tang Dynasty was quite humane in terms of its marriage system.

Ku Zhenzhen’s ex-husband Lexi had already gone out to work.

Perhaps, the broken home made him want to escape from this sad place.

Unexpectedly, Lelin asked someone to give him a gift of 100 yuan.

Given the rigid relationship between the two families, it would be quite acceptable for the Lelin family to accept twenty cents, but it would be reasonable even if they did not accept a penny.

There are plenty of burial places in the square.

After all, Chang'an City, including the time it was called Daxing City, is only over fifty years old, so it can be considered a young capital city.

Therefore, the proportion of actual aborigines who are more than three generations old in Dunhuafang is extremely low, and the majority of the people who immigrated later accounted for the majority.

Therefore, there are not many cemeteries in Dunhuafang.

Although Kuliu's family was indeed buried poorly, it was rare for the tongue-tied woman in the family not to chew Kuzhenzhen's tongue.

You know, even the tough Aunt Fan was arranged by someone, even though she was beaten and lost two teeth, she still chewed her tongue.

I don’t talk about Ku Zhenzhen because there is really nothing to arrange. She is raised well but buried poorly. Who can say otherwise?

Ku Zhenzhen has been married to Lexi for ten years. It is not an exaggeration to say that she sold herself to save her mother.

Maybe you can say that Ku Zhenzhen owes Lexi, but you cannot say that she owes Ku Liushi.

Without her efforts, Mrs. Kuliu might have been buried ten years ago.

Three days later, Ku Zhenzhen changed out of her mourning clothes, tied her arms with black cloth, and returned to work in Xiangfang.

Observing filial piety does not mean making people sit at home, otherwise the poor who do not have overnight food will not starve to death?

(In response to the problem that there are mostly classical Chinese texts at the beginning, the original intention of this book was to write some short stories about the Tang Dynasty based on "Tang Lv Shu Yi", but the proportion of the original texts quoted was a bit higher, and the result was that it was later written as "The Story of a Family". Of course, the Tang Lv part was not

I won’t give up, it’s quite interesting after all.)
