The Moon Over Tang Dynasty Chapter 6

 Chapter 6 Insufficient people will bring disgrace upon themselves

 What time is it now, can he still be delayed? Mrs. Cao sneered in her heart, but the smile on her face became more gentle and gentle, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's late, so I won't disturb the house today. Please ask my aunt to come out as soon as possible."

Second Uncle An smiled and spread his hands, "That's why I invited you two to come in and sit down. Yesterday Zhuo Jing heard that my aunt hadn't given her a stick of incense in the past three years, so she became anxious. I took her to Daci'en Temple. I think she won't be able to come back until the afternoon. If you don't come in and wait, why are you still standing at the door?"

Cao's expression changed greatly. "Is this true?" Kudi Yanzhong also asked hurriedly, "Silang, don't be joking. I really have something to do today. I have to let my daughter go for a visit. Please make it convenient for Silang."

Second Uncle An spread his hands and said, "You can't do anything about it. My aunt has been out for a quarter of an hour. How can I still catch up with you? I would like to ask Da Lang why you are in such a hurry to pick up your aunt today." Is it more important than offering incense to my deceased mother?”

Ku Diyanzhong was speechless, but Cao's heart moved. He turned his head and looked south for a few times, his face gradually turned livid, knowing that he had fallen into a scheme, and it was impossible to send Liuli to the church today. Fang, I can only settle accounts with her in the future! After making up her mind, she gritted her molar teeth and laughed, "Since Uncle An is so considerate, that's fine! Just wait until after noon and we will come back to pick up our daughter! We can't let her trouble uncle for the rest of her life!" Afterwards, There was an evil spirit in his voice that could not be concealed.

It was already getting dark and there were more and more people walking on the road. The An family lived next to the main road. The three people standing at the door talking like this naturally attracted attention. Four or five good people couldn't help but stopped at a distance. Listen carefully. The smile on Second Uncle An's face slowly faded, and his tone became a little cold: "Ms. Cao's words are inappropriate. My uncle's family are close relatives, and An has an unkind invitation. From now on, aunt will live in An's house." , there's no need to go back.”

Kudi Yanzhong couldn't help being shocked, Cao had already shouted: "You are dreaming!"

Second Uncle An sneered: "An is willing to raise his own niece, what does that have to do with you, Mrs. Cao?"

Ms. Cao said angrily, "Isn't this slave her mother?" She pushed Kudi Yanzhong hard with her hand.

Kudi Yanzhong also frowned and said: "What Shiro said makes no sense. My daughter is the daughter of my Kudi family. How can I ask you to raise her?"

Second Uncle An said coldly, "An may be right or unreasonable, but it's not you who has the final say. Whatever, if you don't accept it, today afternoon, An will invite the elders of the Kudi family and the An clan to discuss it. What do you think?" "

Kudi Yanzhong's face changed slightly: "What does such a trivial matter have to do with the clan elders? Shiro, what are your plans?"

Second Uncle An's voice was still light, "It's nothing, but An was really worried when he saw auntie's appearance yesterday. My sister only has one daughter, so An wanted auntie to live in An's house in the future. After the wedding, An's consent must be obtained, and the betrothal and dowry must be reviewed by the An family. If the man has no intention of selling his daughter, he should agree to these trivial matters."

As soon as the words "selling girls" fell into his ears, Kudi Yanzhong's face couldn't help but turn red, and he stammered: "You, don't talk nonsense!" Mr. Cao also sneered: "Uncle An, Are you too fanciful? Whose daughter needs the consent of her uncle's family for her marriage? Besides, the aunt was only wearing some old clothes when she went out yesterday, so why would she want to sell her daughter if she didn't wear some old clothes? "

Uncle An nodded, "No, of course it's best. It's just that An doesn't want to arrange the aunt's marriage or steal her bride price. He just wants to take a look at it, but he doesn't know what's wrong with it."

Their voices became louder and louder, and more and more people watched the excitement. Second Uncle An was a big family in this place, so naturally there were people who pointed out and talked about it. Cao's voice became louder when he saw this, "The marriage of children has always been a matter of course." The parents make the decision, and although the uncle is a relative, he cannot interfere in the niece's marriage. The An family is also a wealthy family, so how come he doesn't understand this? "

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone reply, "Kudi's family is not a poor family, but why do they want to sell their daughter to a church?" But they saw Yasaburo striding through the crowd and walking in, with two strong men behind him. The man is dressed like Wu Hou, who is responsible for public security in the workshop.

Kudi Yanzhong was taken aback, and his face became even more ugly, but Ansanlang saluted with a smile, "Uncle, long time no see, Sanlang is rude. Yesterday, my cousin spoke vaguely, and Sanlang was full of doubts, so he went to look for her in the morning. After some inquiring, I found out that today was the day for the music studio to select female musicians. No wonder my uncle was in a hurry to pick her up. If my relatives were in trouble, they would naturally help me, so why would I go out like this? What's the next step?”

Everyone was stunned, and discussions arose. Ku Diyanzhong wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. Even Mr. Cao was a little worried about it. He said in a cold voice: "This young man, please don't listen to other people's nonsense. Who wants to sell his daughter?"

Ansaburo did not answer, but deliberately glanced at her twice, then turned around and asked his father, "Who is this lady?"

Second Uncle An replied nonchalantly: "Your uncle said it's his wife, Mrs. Cao."

Anzaburo seemed to be surprised: "When did uncle get a new wife? Uncle, is what my grandfather said true?"

Ku Di Yanzhong could only nod, An Sanlang shook his head and sighed, "That's strange, uncle, San Lang thought your family was having some difficulties, but looking at what the new lady is wearing, they are all good. "If that's the case, why do you want to send your cousin to the workshop?" The onlookers still didn't understand what was going on at this time, and looked at Kudi and Cao with even more contempt: This woman was wearing a brand new satin. With the coat on his back and the red gold hairpin shining brightly on his head, how could he look the least bit embarrassed? You are obviously having a good time, but you want to send the daughter born to the former wife to a workshop. You are really cruel!

Kudi Yanzhong couldn't bear it anymore and turned to leave. Mrs. Cao quickly grabbed him and turned around and sneered, "Where do you start with this? Dalang and I just want to take auntie to see her uncle. Why do you want to send her to the workshop?"

Anzaburo smiled and said, "This is strange, but I don't know which uncle of the An family the two of them want to take my cousin to see? We don't know at all?"

Ms. Cao opened her mouth but couldn't answer anything. Is the An Jia in front of her Liuli's serious uncle? However, Ansaburo looked at Mrs. Cao a few more times and slapped his thigh as if he suddenly understood, "Hey, isn't this new lady my uncle's original concubine, the daughter of the Pipa Cao family in the workshop? The strange way looks familiar! I just said, okay Why would my uncle send his cousin to the school? She is from the Cao family, but my cousin is not the daughter of your Cao family, so it is not your turn to make the decision, right? "

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar again, and many people laughed and booed, "That's it!"

The word "concubine" was what Cao was most taboo about. Hearing the laughter, he couldn't help but get angry. He shouted sternly: "It's not your junior's turn to interfere in the affairs of my Kudi family!" He raised his head and raised his head to An Er. The uncle said, "Uncle An, if you suspect that we are going to send my aunt to a monastery, we will come back to pick her up in two days. But if you don't come home and want to interfere in my aunt's marriage, you absolutely cannot. Otherwise, let's go to the official's house and discuss what's going on with this kidnapping!”

Uncle An's face showed a hint of surprise, "Since Mrs. Cao said this, the An family is a little confused. When we Zhaowu people have disputes, the clan elders always come forward without going through the government. An Mou has never been to the government. Is it possible? Is it against the law for my uncle to take his niece to live in the Tang Dynasty? "

Ms. Cao sneered and said, "It is not illegal for a niece to live in her uncle's house, but the marriage of children is originally decided by the parents. If the Kudi family exchanges marriage certificates with others in the future and accepts the betrothal gift, and you do not let her go, it will be the official family. Not tolerated!”

Second Uncle An turned around and asked Sanlang: "Is there really such a provision in the law?"

Anzaburo touched his beard and turned to look at the two Wuhou who followed him, "My two brothers are officials, do you know about this?"

The two Wu Hous nodded and said, "That's true!" An's father and son looked at each other with helpless expressions, and Cao's face showed a smile, "Uncle An is a sensible person and should not interfere in his niece's marriage. "

Second Uncle An stopped looking at her and frowned as he asked Kudi Yanzhong, "Dalang, is this lady really your new wife and the current mistress of Kudi's family? Do you really want to leave my marriage to her?" ?”

Kudi Yanzhong was full of sullenness at this time. He just wished he could get in the car earlier and said in a muffled voice, "Of course."

Second Uncle An laughed, turned around and asked, "If An remembers correctly, the Cao family was originally from Lehu. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if a husband takes Lehu as his wife, how should he deal with it?"

The Marquis of Wu whose surname was Wei glanced proudly at Kudi Yanzhong and Cao, and said loudly, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, a good man takes his concubine, Lehu, Buqu, etc. as his wife for one and a half years."

 Second Uncle An let out a long breath, "I see, thank you both very much, and please bear witness when the time comes." He turned back to Kudi Yanzhong and smiled, "Da Lang, let's meet at the official residence later."

Kudi Yanzhong's face suddenly turned pale, and Mr. Cao could no longer stand still. When he saw Second Uncle An turning around to go in, he couldn't care about anything anymore and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Uncle An, stay here!" "

Second Uncle An turned his head and shouted coldly, "How presumptuous! You are just a bitch, are you worthy of calling me Uncle An after my aunt?"

The crowd of onlookers burst into roars of laughter, and several jackdaws that had landed on nearby branches flew up in fright, croaking away into the distance.
