Chapter 167: Drumming and Grievances
Su Rongyi thought of the last time he felt cowardly in his hometown, when Xue Qi entered Beijing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Looking at the plaque of the restaurant in front of her, she thought, how many more times? She has to pretend to be another person in front of her relatives and friends.
Could it be that she can only live as another person in this life?
Jianqiu helped her open the door.
Standing in the box stood a tall man with broad shoulders, dressed in a short brown coat with several black cloths wrapped around his waist.
This is the attire of the lowest coolie laborers.
He turned his head, it was an angular face, the skin was almost the same color as the clothes on his body, at first glance, he looked like he had been exposed to the sun all year round, his eyebrows and eyes were not the same as ordinary men, a bit of a bearded silhouette, high nose and deep eyes, thin cheeks, but more delicate and delicate than most bearded people.
In short, compared with the beautiful young men everywhere in Jinling, this person has a special handsomeness.
Su Rongyi also thought about it, probably he is also of mixed Hu-Han blood, but it doesn't matter, no one cares about his life experience.
Song Chengtao, long time no see.
Su Rongyi smiled at him, "Doctor Song, sit down." β
Jianqiu was also stunned for a moment, this person looks like a poor laborer, but he is actually a doctor?
The person on the other side was also a little surprised, "You know I'm a doctor?" β
"Yes," Su Rongyi said: "Xue Qi should have told you that Xue Jiao and I are old friends, I know all about you, or do you like to hear people call you Young Master Song?" β
Song Chengtao pursed his lips and sat down by himself.
Su Rongyi actually rarely saw him with such a look, and he looked very defensive.
Although he didn't like to talk much before, he had absolute trust and doting on himself and Xue Qi, he believed whatever they said, and didn't care at all that they lied to him.
Her heart was a little warm, since she was a child, she had always been used to him like that, and it was the first time she had seen him put on such a look.
"Doctor Song, I have no ill intentions, I came to you to talk about 'Miss Xue'."
Who didn't look for him to talk about Miss Xue?
Unexpectedly, Su Rongyi asked: "When did Xue Qi write to you and what did he tell you?" β
Song Chengtao pursed his lips, but still didn't speak.
This saw-spouted gourd! Jianqiu was unhappy for his own young lady in the back.
I don't know where the mountain village man came from, give him two points of face, and he doesn't know how to measure.
Su Rongyi didn't care if he said it or not, he just buckled the cup on the table and said, "Doctor Song, Xue Qi is still young, why do you want to mess around with him?" The attitude of the old lady of the Xue family should be clearer than me, and it is clear that you don't want you to meddle anymore, obviously this matter is not good for Xue Qi, it is likely to be dangerous, for the sake of a dead man, is it worth it? β
She is not without resentment towards Song Chengtao, Xue Qi should have returned to the northwest a long time ago, if he hadn't helped.
"Whether it's worth it or not, only I know." He whispered.
Faced with the first meeting of strangers unceremoniously questioned, he was not angry, not angry, calmly as if he was still the same as before, and smiled faintly when he was bullied by her.
Su Rongyi was stunned, this guy.
She sighed, how many times did they have to be stupid for themselves......
"So, Doctor Song, have you found anything so far?"
Song Chengtao glanced at her without any expression, "Miss Su seems to have made a discovery." β
Su Rongyi frowned, "My discovery, you will probably see it soon." β
What does that mean?
******
Miss Xue cautiously slipped out the side door.
"Ah Xu, help me look at the door." She said hello to her family.
The housekeeper took the silver she tossed, and saw that the people had run away.
This Miss Xue is really rare to see.
His sister was on an errand in the inner courtyard, and told him that the eldest lady had explicitly hinted that she wanted to ask Miss Xue to go these days, and people were like being completely deaf, and recently it had developed to the point where Miss Xue didn't come to eat at half a moment when lunch was put on the table, so she took it all away, but she didn't expect her to be unmoved, hungry, and began to wait at the table before the next meal arrived.
This cheekiness is also due to the fact that the Zhenguo Mansion did not ask her to be a daughter-in-law in the past.
When Miss Xue went out, she felt a little apprehensive in her heart, her heart was beating out, would it really be like what they said?
"Girl, be careful!" A horse-drawn carriage whizzed by.
Miss Xue dodged. She was standing in the middle of the road and was distracted.
She walked to the side of the road and asked an old man who was setting up a stall, "Mother-in-law, do you want to go here to the mansion?" β
The mother-in-law's old eyes were dizzy: "Girl, are you going to the mansion?" β
"Yes," Miss Xue smiled happily, "go and sue." β
Mother-in-law was surprised, she was so happy to sue?
"Yes, yes, this road goes south......"
Miss Xue stood at the door of the mansion and took a breath.
Drumming and complaining, I have only heard it in the play.
She picked up the hammer next to the drum rack, didn't prepare anything, gave it a try.
Recently, Jinling City has been very peaceful, and Lord Chen is very pleased, even if there are cases, they are all small cases.
Seeing the girls in the hall, Lord Chen squinted, "Who is in the hall?" So what's going on? β
Miss Xue puffed up her chest and said loudly: "My lord, the people want to sue Xie Miao, the prince of Zhenguo. β
Master Chen thought she was crazy, and said funny: "You say it again? β
The people shall not sue the officials, this is the law of hundreds of years.
There is an absolutely insurmountable gap between the common people and the aristocracy, even if she only comes to sue a county Xiucai today, she must be accompanied by the pavilion chief, the lieutenant chief, etc., write a paper, and hand it to the yamen, and the government will have to go to the county school and the government school to verify before she can continue to handle the case.
It's also that the yamen has been slacking off recently, and everyone is sending him forward.
"Zhenguo Gong Xie Miao, my lord, I want to sue him for not recognizing his six relatives, stop his wife and remarry!" Miss Xue repeated.
Master Chen smiled and glanced at the master next to him, planning to go back and tell his wife about it as a joke for a while.
He asked, "Is this your wife?" β
"Yes," Miss Xue nodded, very serious, "I am the cousin of Xie Miao, the eldest lady of the Xue family, Xue Jiao." β
Lord Chen was stunned for a moment, and he also knew a little about the affairs of Zhenguo Gong, and heard that a fiancΓ©e had died, who was the cousin of his aunt's family.
He called the master and hurried to find the relevant information.
Why are the family affairs of these powerful people still in trouble with the yamen?
The master whispered into his ear: "I have long heard that the young lady of the Xue family has come back from the dead, and she is still making a big fuss, is it a ......?"
"Hurry up and find someone to inform the Xie family and the Xue family, I can't let this woman mess around here." Lord Chen said busily.
O these women!
Master Chen couldn't help but sigh.
A few months ago, he also handled an extremely complicated case, when it was that Miss Su San who stood here and made an impassioned statement, so that she alone had the final say in his court.
He was completely afraid of these women. (To be continued.) )
