This wise woman gave birth to six children in total, but only the youngest daughter Baniang and brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe grew up.

When Su Xun was traveling, it was Mrs. Cheng who taught several children to read, and she had a very good education method.

For example, she said: "You brothers, when you are studying, don't just study hard and just read for the sake of being a 'scholar'. You should understand the truth, be brave in morality, and be a person who is beneficial to the country and the nation in the future."

For example, she also said: "Don't worry about me. If you can become a gentleman like Fan Pang, can't I be Fan Pang's mother and the kind of person who understands her son's sacrifice?"

It is inevitable to be filial to your parents, manage your family well, and teach your children well, and you will be loved and loved by the elders of the Su family.

The relationship between the Su and Cheng families is now considered normal.

So in accordance with the custom of "kissing one another, marrying one another", Su Xun's daughter Baniang married Cheng Jun's son Cheng Zhengfu last year.

Cheng Jun is the elder brother of Mrs. Cheng. In the third year after Su Xun's second brother Su Huan passed the Jinshi, that is, in the fifth year of Tiansheng, he also passed the Jinshi. It may be that Cheng Wenying operated properly. Cheng Jun was in Qingshen County near Meishan.

Be an official.

This is amazing. Officials should serve as officials in their place of residence, especially in central Sichuan, which is strictly prohibited by the imperial court.

The Cheng family just did it, so it became even more powerful. Its wealth and power were unmatched by anyone in Meishan at that time.

Therefore, the marriage between Su Bajie and Cheng Zhengfu has the flavor of "marrying a wife means you are inferior".

Marriage in an aristocratic family is different from that of the royal family. The royal family has reached its peak, and it is a tradition to marry a lower-ranking wife, which also has other benefits.

In an aristocratic family, the daughter of a low-ranking family is married, and the wife of a high-ranking family is generally harmonious. A woman from a high-ranking family who brings a rich dowry and family background to marry into a lower-ranking family will generally have a higher status in her husband's family.

But Baniang's marriage was just the opposite. It seemed like a good marriage, but it was actually a bit rash.

There are records that Banniang was tortured to death by her uncle Cheng Jun, her aunt Song, and her husband Cheng Zhengfu. She was only 18 years old when she died.

The specific abuse was not detailed, but it was said that Cheng Jun was lustful and addicted to gambling, and his aunt Song and her family members often bullied the little daughter-in-law. Her husband Cheng Zhengfu turned a blind eye to this and ignored her.

There is also information that after Ba Niang fell ill, they took away her child and did not provide medical treatment or even food. Ba Niang died inexplicably.

So Su Xun was heartbroken and angry, and the Su and Cheng families became grudges and stopped communicating with each other.

In the second year of Zhihe, the Su clan revised their genealogy to commemorate their ancestors, built a Su clan genealogy pavilion in the southwest of the ancestral graveyard, and carved stones and erected monuments.

The old gunner's cousin's first shot hit his in-laws and brother-in-law directly.

He specially wrote an article "The Su Family Genealogy Pavilion", in which he mentioned "someone" and listed the six major crimes of "someone". He warned the clan members to take a warning and not to make the same mistake again.

The article reads: "His father, Ma Heyi, and his maids and concubines are so beautiful that they can seduce the little people in the streets; his official title and material power are enough to shake up the county; his deceitful embellishments, and his words are enough to deceive gentlemen. He is a big thief in the state."

Taking a closer look at the powerful figures who were able to influence the situation in Meishan City at that time, it turned out that it was none other than Su Xun's brother-in-law, Cheng Jun.

However, when translated, this sentence, like the rest of Cousin Lao Pao's articles, comes across as somewhat incomprehensible.

The richest man in Meishan Town has a chariot and a beautiful concubine. Isn't that right? Is it his fault that the common people living in the alleys are envious and jealous?

The official government still has money, which is enough to influence local policies. It is enough to pay attention. Cousin Lao Pao himself did not say that others have done this. It is just that the GDP created by the richest man exceeds that of the county. Does this become a crime?

As for pretentiousness and deceiving gentlemen, on the other hand, it just shows that Cheng Jun's daily behavior is also a moral article. However, in the eyes of his old cousin, this means that he does not mean what he says and is false.

But what do people think in their hearts? How can they tell whether it is true or false?

The article also said that adults and children live together in the same room, having fun and being rude, but think about Su Che himself. When he went to Kaifeng to take the exam, he and his two sons and daughter-in-law rode on the same boat from Meishan to Kaifeng for more than two months.

How to say?

Therefore, this "Su Family Genealogy Pavilion" is in the same vein as the later article "On Distinguishing Adultery" written by cousin Lao Pao. In the former article, it is a sin to have a good car and a good horse. In the latter article, it is a sin to have poor food and clothing.

Being unclean is also a sin.

Using these things as bullets to shoot at political opponents made Su You feel that his loud-tongued cousin always liked to use the machine gun in a crooked way.

And what he likes to do most in his life is almost all this. Without detailed investigation and research, all the arguments come from ancient texts. The foundation is not indestructible, and it is easy for others to seize the loopholes and counterattack.

Wang Anshi was disgusted and disgusted with him, but did not regard him as an opponent of the same level. This was mostly due to this.

So how could the Cheng family bear this? So the relationship between the two families was severed for more than forty years.

It is conceivable that Mrs. Cheng is in an embarrassing situation. Mother and daughter are in love, husband and brother are at odds with each other, and the untimely death of her beloved daughter has dealt a heavy blow to Mrs. Cheng.

Naturally, the result was heavy worries and overwork. Five years later, he passed away before his two sons could reach high school and return to their hometown with honors.

However, Su You discovered that the research on this matter by later scholars and the rhetoric on the Internet were completely two extremes.

Most scholars hold that it was Su Xun's own conjecture that Ba Niang was tortured to death in the Cheng family.

Why? Several reasons.

There was a case during the same period of the Song Dynasty. What about the prime ministers Chen Zhizhong and his son? Because Chen Zhizhong's concubine abused his maid, resulting in her death, Chen Zhizhong was dismissed as prime minister, and his concubine A Zhang died.

A little maid is like this, the eighth mother is Jiang Qing, and Su Xun is making such trouble, but nothing happens to the Cheng family?

Also, could a family that was able to educate a lady like Mrs. Cheng, who was worthy of the reputation of being a lady, and be able to cultivate many Jinshi, really fall into such a miserable state within just two years of marrying Banniang, as Su Laopao said?

The third doubtful point is Su's attitude towards the Cheng family.

After Su Xun's death, Su Shi and Su Che quickly restored their old friendship with the Cheng family. The strangest thing was that they even had a good relationship with Ba Niang's husband, Cheng Zhengfu.

If it was really Cheng Zhengfu who killed Banniang, could Ersu still do this? I'm afraid the Shilin Public Dispute won't be able to escape.

Cheng Jun has five sons in total, four of whom have gone out to become officials one after another, and some are in high positions of power. It is not very likely that he is really the "big robber in the state" as his cousin Lao Pao calls him.

Cheng Zhengfu himself was not weak, and later he went to Guangnan East Road to serve as a prisoner. Su Shi, who was demoted to Huizhou and resettled at that time, was under his jurisdiction, and he had the help of his cousin.

Well, Su Shi's nephew is a big man. He is tolerant and generous to those who have harmed him, such as Shen Kuo, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Dun, so they can be ignored.

But Su Che is not such a person. In the Song Dynasty, Su Che's character is rare. It is not easy to be recognized by Su Che.

Would someone who could directly criticize the emperor in the imperial examination and be impeached all the way from the prime minister to the subordinates go against his will to protect the Cheng family?

After carefully studying the records about Banniang, scholars found that they all come from the words of one person, Su Xun.

Combined with the angry character of Cousin Lao Pao, most scholars such as Lin Yutang, Wang Wenzheng, etc. believe that this incident is more like several aristocratic families producing Jinshi one after another. Together with the generosity and tolerance of his wife and the illustrious family background,

All together, it creates a huge amount of pressure, which then leads to a loss of control and a way to vent one's emotions.

Should you trust scholars or the Internet? Su You finally decided to trust himself.

In any case, Baniang's incident was a tragedy, and Su You felt it was his duty to intervene.

Responsibility should be reflected before a tragedy occurs, not after it occurs and expands.

Let’s find out what’s going on first and then talk about it.

So after passing Daqing Tower, he didn't go to Shajue Store, but went directly to Cheng's Bookshop across the street.

Cheng's Bookshop has a tall and spacious frontage, with 90 meters of frontage and three Liuhe gates. There are 13 shops in a row! Cheng Ban Street!

After entering, you will be greeted by the aroma of ink and rows of half-person-high counters, with books with blue covers neatly stacked on them.

The books are divided into various categories of classics and history, and there is also a super large cabinet with historical and cultural arrangements for candidates to figure out.

Su You couldn't help but marvel at the three major printing and publishing bases of the Song Dynasty, Hangzhou, Jianyang, and Meishan. Among them, Meishan had the most private engravings at Cheng Sheren's residence, which was well-deserved.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man. Seeing that Su You was standing there quietly at such a young age, with two boxes of books in his hands, which he could see were the marks of his own bookstore, he hurriedly greeted him politely: "Mr.

But is there anything wrong with the books in my bookstore?"

Su You smiled. When ordinary merchants encounter this situation, they first clarify the shortcomings of their products. Those who dare to ask this question either have a proper business philosophy or have great confidence in their products.

Putting down the book, he crossed his hands and said with a smile: "Kelonglisuyou, Anzhen Township, come to pay a visit to your Majesty."

The shopkeeper seemed to be well-connected with the Jiangqing family, but Longli was where the Su family's ancestral hall, Yamada, was located. He couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Those are the in-laws. Dare I ask... uh... which oil does Xiaolang Junzun belong to?"

Su You smiled and replied: "The oil is mixed with honey."

Water sign! This is the same generation as the master of the family! Then the elder the child talks about is not the master of the family, but the oldest elder in the family, Cheng Wenyingcheng, the prime minister of Dali Temple.

This Dali Temple Prime Minister was a gift that Cheng Wenying received because his two sons were officials. In Su You's heart, it was not a big deal, but in Meishan, he was indeed praised loudly.

The shopkeeper even lowered his eyebrows and said, "Young gentleman, please come with me." I didn't expect that this plot would cause so much controversy. First of all, let me explain that this is not Lao Zhou's point of view, but the opinion of later generations of scholars who studied the Su family.

A common view. They believe that Banniang was tortured to death by the Cheng family, which was Su Xun's own conjecture, not a fact. In the same period of the Song Dynasty, there was a case of death of a maid abused by Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong's family, and a maid could even affect the court. If Banniang's matter is true,

, will never end so easily. The subsequent writing is based on this. This is not some conjecture, nor is it private goods. Those who are interested can look through various physical books of the Su Family Commentary and Biography, and I will stick to this statement.

.Including books by Lin Yutang, Wang Wenzheng and others. I checked the Internet when I had time today, which made Lao Zhou realize that the Internet will only let people see what someone with good intentions wants you to see. The story of Su Xun mentioned in Lao Zhou's article

, means that the sense of responsibility should be reflected in advance and in preventing the occurrence and expansion of the tragedy, rather than baseless abuse and blame after the tragedy. The reaction of book friends is based on the fact that Banniang was tortured to death.

On the basis of facts, since there are completely different differences in cognitive basis, the writing will certainly cause such a big misunderstanding among book friends. It makes everyone think that Lao Zhou’s views are incorrect. Sorry, I will revise it when I have time.
Chapter completed!
