Chapter 40: The daughter-in-law turned out to be a local tyrant
(Star Eye asks for recommendations, collections, and messages~★~) ★
"Stop, stop!"
The official was about to pick up Nianfu's pants, and suddenly gave it to someone to drink. Tang Xianzun raised his eyes and saw a very handsome young man squeezing through the crowd and standing up.
Hui Niang's tears suddenly fell down, and she choked up and called "Big Young Master", and she couldn't talk anymore.
In order to come to the trial today, Ouyang Kang deliberately changed the clothes of the people under him, obviously not wanting people to know. But he chose to stand up at this time, that is, he was ready to show his identity and take the lead for her family.
With the words of Old Man Hu, Hui Niang knew that it was really necessary to muster a lot of courage to stand up. After all, Ouyang Kang is still a young man who has not married, and he went to court to stand up for a little girl, how much gossip is this?
But Ouyang Kang really couldn't stand it.
He lost his mother since he was a child, and he was raised by his grandmother, seeing the Shi family crying so miserably, especially looking at Nianfu, a good little girl who was about to be insulted, he really couldn't stay out of it.
So even if Zhilu Dao stood up and would face a lot of problems, he still told Tang Xianzun truthfully, "Please Mingjian, my lord, Xiaosheng is Ouyang Kang from Huai'an Town." That day, Mu's mother and daughter were entangled by Master Hu, which Xiaosheng saw with his own eyes, and it was Xiaosheng's help that drove people away. Although Sister Mu'er's action of smashing people with stones is a little inappropriate, it is also a reaction that can only occur if you are too frightened. I also ask you to think about it, if no one happened to pass by that day, and their mother and daughter were dragged back to the house by Master Hu, how would they deal with themselves today? ”
Many people nodded their heads secretly when they said this, and for a woman, if her name is ruined, then she really doesn't want to live.
Tang Xianzun listened to the name Ouyang, and suddenly remembered that this is also an official eunuch's family, although the relationship is not deep, but it is better to sell well than to marry a beam.
was thinking about how to round the field, only to hear Ouyang Kang say again, "Of course, this case is clear, and Xiaosheng has no opinion." It's just that I want to make a contribution to the mother and daughter of the Mu family, and help them pay this fine, and nothing else, and ask the adults to know it. ”
It was not for nothing that he and Mr. Wu took these lessons, and sure enough, Tang Xianzun was very pleasing to the ear, and he was about to push the boat down the river to give Ouyang Kang this favor, when suddenly someone made a noise.
"My lord! Wait, I'm going to take the lead for the accused! ”
Tang County took a look, ho! Another young man rushed into the courtroom panting, "Who are you?" ”
Who knew that the young man looked very energetic, but as soon as he said it, he was confused, "I'm her daughter-in-law!" ”
Rao is middle-aged Tang County Venerable, and he almost burst out laughing, so he could only clench his fists to cover up with a fake cough. The young man didn't realize it, so he rushed up and helped Nianfu up on the bench, looking at the laughing crowd in confusion. Did he say something? Why are these people so happy?
Nianfu glanced at him again, stunned, "Young Master You? What are you here for? ”
You Gongzi, ah no, it should be Hou Fangyu's attention quickly attracted over, and then look at the tears on Nianfu's face, not to mention how distressed he is, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to wipe her, "Don't cry, don't cry, Sister Nianfu, I'm here, there's nothing to do." ”
Nianfu's face sank, and he slapped his hand away, "Childe, please respect yourself!" ”
Hou Fangyu wanted to catch up, but was blocked by Ouyang Kang, frowning and glaring at him, "What are you here to make trouble?" ”
"Why am I here to make trouble?" Hou Fangyu looked at this little white face more and more unpleasantly, "What are you doing here?" Obviously, our family's affairs, where do you want to talk more? ”
They were still arguing here, and Lord Tang had already pulled his face down over there. Again slapped the shocking wood, "Who's coming?" What is the reason for disturbing the public court without reason? If you don't explain the reason, I will beat you 20 boards first, and punish you for trespassing in the court! ”
Hou Fangyu was startled, but it was Father Shi who spoke first, "My lord, stop being angry!" He rubbed his faint old eyes, looked at them carefully and then asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you are surnamed Hou?" ”
"Exactly!" Hou Fangyu bowed deeply to Father Shi, "The younger generation is Hou Fangyu of the Hou family in Xuancheng, your grandson-in-law who has not passed the door." ”
Ouyang Kang didn't believe it, "Didn't you say your surname is You?" ”
Hou Fangyu was a little sneering, "That's to coax you." But I can't say anything about this for a while, in short, I am the true Hou Fangyu, she-" He stretched out his hand and pointed at Nianfu, "It is true that I am the daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door." I only heard that she was told to the yamen, and I was so frightened that I rushed here at once, and I don't know what happened. What's going on, my lord? However, I remember that as long as it is not a felony of murder and arson, the criminal law of this dynasty allows money to be ransomed. No matter what crime this Shi family has committed, can't I spend money to redeem her? ”
Tang Xianzun listened happily, this young man seems to be a rich lord, who will he kill if he doesn't slaughter? Glancing to the side, the scribe suddenly stepped forward with the document in his hand and told him the verdict. And said, "If you break into the court privately, you will also be hit with 20 boards, since you are willing to take the money to redeem it, you will be fined the money together." ”
Hou Fangyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "What a big deal should I be!" It's just a few hundred taels of silver, a small meaning. I will give you a total of 500 taels, and after deducting it for the person surnamed Hu, the rest should be given to the adults to repair the mansion. ”
He happily took out an empty silver ticket, filled it out on the spot, stamped it with a private seal, and handed it over to the scribe for verification, and the lawsuit was over.
Master Hu was very angry, but he was also a person in the business field, and when he heard about the Hou family of Xuancheng, he knew that Lu Dao was a wealthy man who was more wealthy than himself. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid you won't be able to please it. I had to swallow my anger and sign the paper, thinking that I was unlucky.
The lawsuit is over here, and Nianfu has not recovered from the shock that his "daughter-in-law" turned out to be a local tyrant, and Hou Fangyu is in a hurry to take her to Xuancheng.
"I came to pick you up to pay your grandfather's birthday, as well as grandpa and ......" He glanced at Hui Niang, and finally replaced the three words of mother-in-law with "Aunt Mu." If you can go away, let's go together. ”
Now that there is nothing to do, Ouyang Kang said goodbye very interestingly and left first. But I feel a little regretful in my heart, why did you say that stupid boy was so blessed and asked for such a daughter-in-law who can cook? Tsk, then he will be really blessed in the future.
didn't become a hero who saved the beauty, although Ouyang Dashao saved money, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but ask to the side, "Mo Yun, what do you say about the surname Hou?" ”
Mo Yun is an honest man, he only tells the truth, "It's really rich!" "It's five hundred taels when you make a move, which is much more generous than their son-in-law.
But Ouyang Dashao rolled his eyes unhappily, hum, is it great to be rich? When he has money one day, he will casually sprinkle a thousand taels to become a hero. Five hundred on the left hand and five hundred on the right hand, more arrogant than him!
But when is the "day"? Ouyang Dashao thought that he had grown so big and hadn't even spent fifty taels at one time, and he was depressed.
On the other side, Father Shi, who returned to the Shi family, asked not very easily, "Your grandfather has a birthday, why did you invite us for no reason?" ”
Don't blame the old man for being suspicious, shouldn't unmarried couples avoid suspicion? Even if you don't avoid suspicion, you shouldn't be invited?
Hou Fangyu took out a palm-sized abacus from his arms, "Grandpa knew that you would say that, so he specially asked me to bring this." Say you'll go if you see this. You see, I didn't lie to you, this is grandpa's possession. ”
Father Shi was silent, silent, and said, "Hui Niang, you take Nianfu into the house and clean up for her." I'll go with the girl when I go back. At home, you take care of your mother, watch out for the door. ”
He looked at Hou Fangyu again and said, "I'm just afraid that I'm going to bother you to hire a car." ”
Hou Fangyu saw that he agreed, and immediately went to work happily.
As soon as he left, his wife's face was pulled down, and Aunt Shi asked puzzledly, "Old man, this is a good thing, what are you worried about?" ”
Father Shi sighed, "Don't ask, clean up for me." ”
Aunt Shi couldn't, so she packed a small burden for him, and then brought a little gold and silver accumulated at home to the two, and told them, "When you go out, don't feel sorry for the silver, spend what you should spend, don't let people look down on it." Yes? ”
Nianfu was also full of suspicions, and boarded the car with his grandfather.
Hou Fangyu rode a horse and followed the carriage, and the smile on his face was almost overflowing.
Last time, he was not sick after drenching that basin of water, but Mrs. Hou had an idea, took the opportunity to pretend to be sick, and dragged him back to Xuancheng. Then Hou Fangyu heard it with his own ears, and his father and mother secretly discussed, wanting to ruin his marriage as soon as his grandfather passed away, so that he could marry that Miss Yao.
Of course, Hou Fangyu is not happy, the young man, who is in love for the first time, naturally admires the girl he likes. While his grandfather was getting better, he quietly told the matter, and Old Man Hou was almost angry on the sickbed.
However, after coming back to his senses, he thought about it for a long time, and if he was stubborn, he was afraid that it would make things worse, so he asked his grandson to invite the Shi family in private. I want to take advantage of the fact that I still have this breath, and use my birthday as an excuse to tell everyone about the little couple, so that my son and daughter-in-law, who hate the poor and love the rich, have no way to regret it.
But Hou Fangyu is Mrs. Hou's eyeballs, and she is the only male she gave birth to after giving birth to three daughters in a row.
After checking the people around the old man again, the whereabouts of his son are already obvious. Mrs. Hou was furious and immediately went to find her husband Hou Xianglin.
Hou Xianglin can be in charge of such a big family business, so he naturally has some ability. Besides, when he was in the prime of life, his brain was shrewd, and he thought about it for a while, but he was not as angry as Mrs. Hou, but smiled and said, "Even if you come, you also spend more time on hospitality, if you let them take the initiative to speak, wouldn't it be more useful than us saying a thousand things and ten thousand?" Why do we have to be bad guys ourselves, but we will be unhappy with our father, and Yu'er will also have a share with us. ”
Mrs. Hou suddenly understood.
After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't wait for the ancestors of the Shi family to come to the door soon. [bookid=2273205,bookname=Chonghua]
