Keep the roots

Zuo Shaoyang sneered and said, "It's still a question. It must be Du Yan's second son Du Jing! He was making trouble behind this matter! The previous matter was obviously his idea, and he admitted it in public, but later, he openly turned his confession and insisted that it was my idea. The matter of Prime Minister Du was clearly a trap he set up to put me in. He agreed that I would only be responsible for using the seborrheic medicine, and he persuaded his cousin Du to take the medicine. As a result, when he saw that the previous matter might not be able to deal with me, he would not hesitate to punish his cousin to frame me. He told Prime Minister Du about this matter and must have said it was my idea. Prime Minister Du really cared about the seborrheic medicine. He felt humiliated and could not bear it, so he committed suicide. I was somewhat responsible for this matter, because I believed in Du Jing too much, which caused this tragic disaster."

Zuo Gui's father asked, "He, why is he so vicious? What kind of hatred do we have with him?"

Zuo Shaoyang sighed: "This matter is hard to explain in a few words. Logically speaking, I saved his father and he should be grateful to me, but his father became a living dead man and his brother died tragically has something to do with me. He should hate me for this and wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate. In addition, Old Doctor Yu, Liu Zhenghui and his gang also wanted to take revenge on us for suing them for regretting marriage last time, so they joined forces to deal with me. Alas, if it weren't for Princess Yongjia, I'm afraid that our suffering will definitely be indispensable this time."

Qiao Qiaoer interrupted, "Yes, why did Princess Yongjia help her husband?"

Seeing her gaze, Zuo Shaoyang forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with her. This is the first time I have seen her. She helped me for the sake of others."

Qiao Qiaoer said anxiously: "I don't mean that. I want to know how much she can help. The situation is so critical now. Prime Minister Du, the emperor's right-hand man, has died, and it is related to us. The emperor must not be angry? If the relationship is not strong enough, I am afraid that I will not be able to help this busy."

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "Of course I know, let's put it this way, Princess Yongjia's relationship should be very strong, otherwise she wouldn't slap Liu Zhenghui in public on the street today. She is afraid that the emperor will vent his anger on me. Although the emperor is very wise, even if he encounters such a thing, even the wisest person will get angry. After all, Du Ruhui is too important to him. This can be seen from the fact that after learning that Du Ruhui committed suicide this time, he immediately made a decision to arrest me and confiscate our property. The anger in his heart has reached an irresistible level. So, this time, I'm afraid it's really a little bit of luck."

Qiao Qiaoer was shocked and said, "What should I do? The emperor should find out about this matter. This is Du Jing set a trap."

"It can be said that, but to be fair, I underestimated Du Zai's taboo relative to this medicine and was eager to save him, so I fell into Du Jing's trap."

"Then the emperor should see this. If he is unintentional, just fine some money, right?"

Hou Pu sighed: "I'm afraid this matter cannot be solved by fines."

Liang cried out: "Can you really want my Zhonger to pay his life?"

Hou Pu looked at his father Zuo Gui and Liang, and sighed again: "Two elders, let's say something unpleasant, we can only think about the worst consequences in case!"

In one sentence, the whole family made the faces change. After all, Hou Pu was an old clerk who had been in the yamen for many years and had seen a lot of things in the officialdom. His father Zuo Gui had to consider what he said.

Miao Peilan lowered her head, bit her mouth gently, and shivered. In the silence, she finally raised her head, walked quickly to the father Zuo Gui and Liang, lifted her dress and knelt down: "Master, Madam, although it has not been a year since then, I beg the two elders and let me pass the door."

After saying that, Miao Peilan kowtowed three times, leaned on the ground, and started crying.

Bai Zhihan and Sang Xiaomei walked to Zuo Gui's father and Liang at the same time, and knelt beside Miao Peilan together, begging her to pass the door immediately. Sang Xiaomei cried like tears, but Bai Zhihan did not cry. Since Zuo Shaoyang knew her, he seemed to have never seen her cry. It seemed that he was born to cry.

What did Zuo Gui’s father and Liang know that the three of them are now asking to pass the door and become Zuo Shaoyang’s concubines, so they are preventing Zuo Shaoyang from being beheaded to fulfill this relationship and leave some flesh and blood for the Zuo family.

The two of them were grateful. If they were others, at this time, they would not be able to hide. Who would have offered to pass the door? You know, if their son was really beheaded and the three of them passed the door, they would become widows. I would rather become a widow than live up to the friendship between the two parties. What else is more touching than this?

Zuo Gui's father and Liang exchanged glances and nodded slowly together.

Zuo Gui's father sighed and said, "Okay, good boy, I agree! I'll pass the door today!"

The three girls were both sad and happy and kowtowed together.

Liang stood up in tears and helped the three of them up: "Good kid, okay! What a good kid! In the future, our mothers will be a family!"

Zuo Shaoyang suddenly said, "Not good!"

Everyone in the audience looked at him in surprise. Old Zuo Gui's face darkened and said, "What do you mean?"

"I'm going to die, wouldn't it hurt them?"

Zuo Gui's father stopped talking and looked at the three girls.

Miao Peilan looked at him, tears in her eyes. She suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and folded it into two sections with a bang. She choked and said, "Brother Zuo doesn't let me pass through the door, so I will never marry for the rest of my life!"

Bai Zhihan and Sang Xiaomei also pulled out the hairpins on their heads and broke them into two pieces, and said in unison: "That's right!"

Zhu Yaogu has been listening to them silently. After hearing this, he finally said: "Let me say something, little doctor, you are too rigid. Which of them can still get married after leaving you? Sang's little sister, they pay back all the dowry left by grandma. For you, I pretended to be crazy on the street. If you don't want her, she can only stay widows for the rest of her life. Miss Bai, she had already sworn to be a wife, concubine and slave, but she didn't want her for you, and almost killed herself. Do you want the tragedy to happen again? As for Miss Miao, she is even more with you in the battle formation and in the desperate situation.

I believe that all three of them have made up their minds, life is your family, death is your ghost. If the emperor really can't tolerate you and wants to chop your head, it is also the matter of Qiu Hou's death. How can you say that you have a couple of one year to do it? If you leave a son and half of your daughter for them, they will have a lifelong support, and it will be better than they will be lonely for the rest of their lives! Moreover, Miss Qiao'er is too young and may not be able to get pregnant for a while. The three of them are older and more likely to get pregnant. Once they are pregnant, they can leave a lineage of incense for your Zuo family!"

Zuo Shaoyang was stupid. Yes, women in ancient times were no more open than women in modern society. Although they were more open in the early Tang Dynasty and had remarried people, they were generally much more conservative than women in modern society. The idea of ​​"long-lasting" is also mainstream. If they don't want them, they really never get married for the rest of their lives, then they would be even more miserable. Zhu Yaoqiu was right. At this time, if they could be married for a year or two, they would have their own flesh and blood, not only would they have a lifelong support, but they would also leave the incense of the Zuo family, giving comfort to the old parents.

However, the modern society thoughts in his mind were still tormenting him, making him feel that getting married before death caused other girls. So he still bowed his head and said nothing.

Hou Pu also said: "Yes, Dalang, what the old shopkeeper Zhu said is right. You should plan ahead. Anyway, it's not two months away, and it's nothing two months earlier. It's a temporary solution."

Zuo Gui and Liang were both on the same front.

Zuo Shaoyang still lowered his head and said nothing.

Qiao Qiaoer had already burst into tears, got up and walked over, lifted her dress and knelt down in front of Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang panicked and hurriedly squatted down to support her: "Madam, what are you doing?"

Qiao Qiaoer still knelt down and refused to get up, crying: "Mr., as Mr. Zhu said, I am too young and close to me for a long time, so I can't leave any incense for my husband. I'm always ashamed. I always hope that my three sisters can pass by as soon as possible and help my Zuo family inherit the incense. Therefore, I beg my husband to let the three sisters pass by and complete the house today. Otherwise, I will miss my Zuo family inherit the incense. I will never be able to live in my life..."

After saying that, he cried loudly.

The maid Lianzi also knelt behind Qiao Qiaoer, crying like tears.

Ding Xiaosan, Aunt Li and others felt sad and tears rustled down.

Aunt Li said, "Young Master, grandma's words are reasonable. Incense cannot be delayed. Since you have to make a perfect thought, this is the most important thing. If God gives mercy and lets the emperor be kind to the law, it will be a happy thing for everyone to pass this level. If God is blind and cannot favor good people, then there is a root left, right?"

Huixiang also cried and said, "Yes, brother, since the three of them have been through ups and downs with you, it is your fate to resolutely go through the door and follow you at the moment. Let's agree."

Zuo Shaoyang sighed, pulled Qiao Qiaoer up, then pulled Miao Peilan and the other three, and said seriously: "If you promise me something, I will promise you three to pass."

The four girls nodded solemnly together.

Zuo Shaoyang made his left hand, put eight hands of the four people in his palm, and then covered his right hand on it, saying, "If I am Zuo Shaoyang, we five will live and die until we grow old! If I am really beheaded by the emperor and buried with Prime Minister Du, you four will promise me that I must live well."

The four girls looked at each other, and Bai Zhihan said, "We promise you! No matter what happens, live well!"

Qiao Qiaoer, Miao Peilan and Sang Xiaomei all nodded in tears.
