There is a small mound on the back hill of Kangjiabao. If you look carefully, you can still see that it is a small grave. But let alone the tombstone, there is not even a wooden sign in front of the tomb.
This is the grave of Sister Kang Gouzi, because she committed suicide. According to the rules of the Kang family, she brought shame to the ancestors of the Kang family and was not recognized as a daughter of the Kang family. Naturally, she could only be buried hastily. It's like burying a dog.
In fact, in Chinese culture, suicide is very taboo, because it violates filial piety. Your parents have raised you for more than ten years, and you kill yourself before you can repay your kindness. This is extremely unfilial.
Unless you are loyal to the country, since ancient times, when loyalty and filial piety cannot have both, loyalty to the country comes before filial piety to your parents.
But even so, many people in history have been loyal to their country and before committing suicide, they would say that their children are unfilial. This is where culture lies.
Of course, Kang Gouzi's sister could not be loyal to the country, so after she committed suicide, she was hastily buried in the back mountain.
But this has become an eternal pain in Kang Gouzi's heart, because the reason why their family received a betrothal gift from the groom but could not bring out the dowry and the engagement was annulled was because Kang Gouzi had a serious illness and his sister's dowry was used to He healed the disease.
Originally, my sister's husband's family was not satisfied with marrying a yellow-headed girl. Seeing that Kang Gouzi was very sick, they were afraid of being dragged down, so they just made an excuse to regret the marriage.
The clan here was still discussing how to collect some dowry together, as they could not lose the face of the Kang family. News of the breakup of the engagement came out, which made Sister Kang, who was already a bit low-self-esteem and sensitive, commit suicide.
Over the years, there have been seven or eight armed fights between Kang Jiabao and the Zhao family from Black Hamburg next door. This started because of this. Kang Gouzi’s original brother-in-law was from the Zhao family, and the Kang family did not rank Kang Gouzi and only called him Dog, that's why.
But today, they were finally proud. In front of everyone's attention, Kang Sanlang and the Kang family son brought Zhao Zaili, who was full of mud and groaning miserably, hanging upside down like a pig in front of Li Weigong.
Even Li Weigong came over in person. He patted the shoulders of Kang Sanlang, the leader of the Kang family, and Kang Gouzi, who was the first to grab Zhao Zaili's thigh. He sighed and said, "You Kang family has made a great contribution this time!" '
At that moment, Kang Gouzi, whose head was beaten like a pig's head, felt like he was floating.
He saw the extremely jealous eyes of the head of the Black Burger Zhao family, and also saw his former brother-in-law Zhao Jiulang.
Zhao Jiulang's head was covered with blood, and he looked at Kang Gouzi blankly, with a very complicated look in his eyes. It was his parents' choice to break off the engagement, not him.
But Kang Gouzi felt that he saw a look of regret in Zhao Jiulang's eyes, and that was enough!
An earthenware bowl was filled with lard mung bean cake, which Kang Gouzi bought with the reward given by Li Cunhui.
This kind of cake is made of mung beans mixed with glutinous rice, fried in lard, and filled with various dried fruits and sugar. It is the most luxurious treat for families like the Kang family.
My sister ate it with him once in the past, and the taste has kept the two siblings thinking about it for almost ten years. It is my sister's favorite delicacy.
Tears fell from Kang Gouzi's face. He was holding a piece of wood hard with a hatchet. He wanted to make a memorial tablet for his sister, while he was mumbling.
"Sister, our Kang family is going to be prosperous, do you know? There are people coming from the Taiwei family in Tokyo, and even Concubine Kang in the palace has sent us gold and silver, and they want to recognize our family again.
Marquis Qin An sent cattle and sheep, and gave us the Dazhuangzi on the left side of the fort along the river. He also said that he would ask the saint for Sanlang and Wulang, and at least let them join the imperial army.
My brother is also going to Tokyo. Marquis Qin An said that he will send him to study literature, and he will definitely become an official in the future. "
Kang Taiwei in Kang Gouzi's mouth refers to the deceased Kang Fu, Kang Fei is Kang Xiurong, Kang Fu's granddaughter who entered the palace, and Qin Anhou is Kang Fu's eldest son Kang Yanmao.
There are not many people in Sogdian Kang originally, and even fewer people settled in the Central Plains. Although the Kangyannum and Kangjiapu tribes have different identities in heaven and earth, they are indeed the same race, even counting up to five generations. Still an ancestor.
Normally, even if Kang Jiabao had succeeded in catching Zhao Zaili, it would have been difficult to attract the attention of Kang Yannuma and Kang Xiurong in the palace, but who knew something had happened to the Kang family recently?
Kang Yannuma's great-nephew deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates, extorted bribes and corruption, and assaulted and killed people when he was working as an errand at the Eight Gate Inspection Office of Tokyo Prefecture. He was beheaded on the order of Pei Yuan Chijieyue himself.
When news of the rebellions in Chang'an and Luoyang came, Kang Yanmao was frightened, fearing that the emperor would think that the Kang family was also involved.
You must know that their family was able to join the ranks of the new dynasty's nobles because of Cheng Kangfu's protection. If the emperor wanted to deal with them, it would be much easier than dealing with other honorable ministers.
Now he suddenly knew that there was a distant family member who had made great contributions and was a loyal and loyal man from the countryside. Kang Yannuma immediately seized the opportunity and prepared to support them.
This actually showed the emperor that the Kang family did not participate in the rebellion and were truly loyal ministers.
Kang Gouzi cried well for a while on the mountain, paid homage to his sister, and set up a memorial tablet. When he returned home, he found that his father was packing his little brother Kang Ergouzi's luggage.
The second sister and the third sister had been waiting at the door for Kang Gouzi for a long time. When they saw him coming back, they greeted him with a smile, but their eyes kept glancing at the lard mung bean cake that Kang Gouzi took back after the sacrifice.
Kang Gouzi opened the bag and let his two sisters and father eat deliciously. He swallowed and only took a piece from it. He did not eat it himself, but handed it to his younger brother Kang Ergouzi.
Kang Er Gouzi took the lard mung bean cake and carefully divided it into two halves, and handed the larger half to Kang Gouzi. Kang Gouzi grinned and did not reach out to take it.
"You eat, you eat! A certain person had eaten in the county, and the county captain personally invited him to a banquet."
Kang Gouzi couldn't help but show off, but in fact the county captain just asked a Wuhou to take him to eat haggis soup cakes.
The sound of horse hooves sounded. Kosaburo, who was wearing new silk clothes and blushing all over, with a smile on his face, rode over and ran over. His voice was surprisingly affectionate and kind.
"Fifteenth Lang, don't be reluctant to leave. Twenty-seventh Lang is going to Tokyo with a certain person this time, and he is going to the Taiwei's house. With Kang Xiurong taking care of him, maybe Twenty-seventh Lang can be chosen to be Qilangjun's companion. I will take your whole family to Tokyo to have fun in the future."
Kang Fu's granddaughter, Kang Xiurong, one of the nine concubines, gave birth to Zhang Yan's seventh son. He is already over three years old and will go to school in a year or two.
If Kang Er Gouzi can show his literary skills in the hands of the famous teacher Kang Fu found this time, he may indeed be a companion to the seventh son of the emperor Zhang Xianxian in the future.
Upon hearing this, Kang Ergouzi quickly urged Kang Ergouzi to set off, his eyes full of expectations for Kang Ergouzi. This was their family's best opportunity to become an official, no one, and more likely the only one.
Kang Er Gouzi looked at Kang Gouzi, who had a white cloth wrapped around his head but was still bleeding. Tears moistened the thirteen-year-old boy's eyes.
"Brother, I have left. Brother, I will let you take care of my second and third sisters. I must study hard and marry a black-headed girl from Tokyo when I become an official."
Kang Gouzi opened his mouth and smiled stupidly. He seemed to see a shining future waiting for him.

"Mr. Zhao! Hahahahahaha." Zhang Lieming smiled mischievously, and Gong Zhao dragged him on for a long time, and there was endless ridicule in his laughter.
As soon as Zhao Zaili saw Zhang Lieming, he groaned miserably. Before the earthy smell in his mouth dissipated, he smashed his head to the ground again.
"A certain person is willing to pay 20,000 yuan, and only asks Commander Zhang to spare a certain life. The rest of the family property is also willing to be dedicated to the saint."
"You really won't look back until you hit the Great Wall, and you won't give up until you reach Wujiang River!" Zhang Lieming's expression turned serious and he shook his head.
"It's too late, Zhao Zaili. You have committed rebellion and still want to survive? But if you can hand over all your family property, your grandson may be able to survive."
Zhao Zaili's cheeks twitched and he was not ready to speak. It was not that he still wanted to negotiate terms at this time, but that his grandson was only eleven years old. If he died, his grandson would definitely have to be tortured to death. Only if he is alive can he Protect your grandchildren.
Zhang Lieming's ability to speak so clearly was certainly not without some back-up. Zhao Zaili must get his hands on his family property.
He gently opened the door of the Weinan County Prison, and then walked in an ordinary man in white robes that made people feel chilled.
】
"Shishiro, didn't you say you wanted to see how the hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys of treacherous people are different from those of ordinary people? This is the freshly minted, most treacherous and treacherous General Wei Boya. He belongs to you."
Zhao Zaili's eyes widened violently. He remembered a terrifying legend, saying that there was a group of terrifying alchemists in the Dauchi Medicine Department. They liked to skin people alive and could put their internal organs in vessels and cook them. Will not die.
As for peeling the skin and cramping, splitting the meat, that is commonplace.
The leader is said to be the 18th Lang of the Zhang family. It just so happens that Buddhism has a theory of the 18th level of hell, so people spread the legend that this man is the reincarnation of the Nether Judge of the 18th level of hell.
"Zhao Zaili, do you think I can't find the gold and silver you buried? You underestimate the ability of the Jinyi guards!
And originally you still had the law to protect you, so we couldn't dig deep into the ground. Now you are a traitor and traitor. Do you think that a certain family can't go to Weizhou to search the mountains and seas? "
Zhang Lieming looked at Zhao Zaili with a sneer. If this old guy could be wiser, he could always save some trouble.
Zhao Zaili's face turned pale. After struggling for a long time, he finally collapsed on the ground. It was obvious that his inner defenses had collapsed.
Outside the door, a captain in Jinyi looked at Zhang Lieming, "Commander, do we really want to keep Zhao Zaili's grandson?"
"Hmph!" Zhang Lieming sneered, "Stay? Why stay? The saint has already given the order, and Zhao Zaili and Liu Jixun's car broke apart.
As for his grandson, I will be extra gracious and leave him a whole body. When the time comes, go in person and reward him with a hemp rope. "
