Wang Yueying never imagined that she would stand in the dock one day.

Her dream since she was a child was to stand in court and defend her client, but before her dream could be realized, Wang Yueying became Wang Yueying.

Glancing at the two officials sitting in the hall, Wang Yueying sighed quietly.

Jia Zheng saw Wang Yueying walk in, stood up and said, "Are you Wang Yueying?" ”

"I don't know what the two officials are looking for me?" Although Wang Yueying had already learned a rough idea from Die'er's mouth, she still couldn't help but wonder, who sued her to the county government?

"You sign here, someone has sued you to the county government, and we are here to inform you." Jia Zheng put a piece of paper in front of Wang Yueying.

"Can you ask the two officials, who sued me to the county government, and what is the so-called matter? I don't know anything now, so didn't I delay his efforts when I went to the county master like this. ”

Seeing Wang Yueying's hint, Die'er hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a money bag into the hands of the two officials.

Jia Jing pinched the money bag and said with a smile: "Mrs. Chen is really polite,

It's not that my brother doesn't tell you, but we don't know what happened, but when we went out, we met the shopkeeper Chen of Fugui Restaurant. ”

"Chen Shouli, is it him?" Wang Yueying was surprised.

The brothers Jia Zheng and Jia Jing saw that Wang Yueying had guessed a rough idea, and they didn't stay for long, so they said: "Then our brothers will leave first." ”

"Die'er, send the two officials for me." Die'er led the two brothers out of the hall.

Wang Yueying picked up the paper on the table and looked at it carefully, it turned out that she was accusing her of stealing other people's ancestral recipes and selling them for profit. I'll go, isn't this a thief shouting to catch a thief! is even more convinced that it is Chen Shouli who made out the right and wrong, and greeted their ancestors of the Chen family in their hearts. After a while, Die'er returned to the hall from outside the door and replied, saying that the officials had taken the money and went to drink.

"Madam, that Jia Zheng said something to me before I went out."

"What?"

"The person who sued you this time is undoubtedly Chen Shouli, who came for the recipe, and also gave the county order silver. They also said that the county magistrate had instructed them to ask their wife what her attitude was to the complaint, otherwise they would lose. ”

"What attitude? What attitude? Wang Yueying was still confused for a while, and thought for a moment, it turned out that the county magistrate wanted to eat the plaintiff and the defendant, and neither side delayed.

"Die'er, go to the treasury and get a hundred taels of silver tickets to send to the county government for me." Wang Yueying immediately ordered. Butterfly agreed and went to the storeroom.

"Wait, wait, let me think again. Die'er, isn't it bad for us to do this kind of bribery, to encourage the arrogance of corrupt officials. Wang Yueying's heart is still a little resistant to this kind of thing.

"But, madam, the official made it very clear that if we don't send money, we will lose this lawsuit, and it will be even more troublesome at that time."

"No, no. You go down and get busy with yours first! I'll think again. ”

Although she has traveled to Shangguo, as a modern person with a sense of justice, Wang Yueying has never been able to accept corruption and bribery in her thinking.

Modern society is all about fighting corruption and advocating honesty, vigorously punishing the best and cracking down on corrupt officials, how can you give up your own principles and bottom line!

Besides, Chen Shouli's lawsuit was originally to grab the recipe, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this county order clearly wants money, and he can't be cheap.

But what about the lawsuit? When the time comes, I really ask me to give the recipe to Chen Shouli, but I won't do it. Wang Yueying hesitated.

money, she won't give it;

recipes, she won't give them either;

You can't organize your family to violently resist the law!

How to be good, she really had no idea in her heart.

"Still undecided?" I don't know when Chubby came to his side. Since he came back from his travels, he has changed into a cat, and his habits have become more and more cat-like. Wang Yueying didn't pay attention to him for a few days, seeing that he was becoming more and more plump, in fact, he was getting fat, and he made fun of him in her heart.

"Great God, Great God, can you help me get through this time?"

"Okay, you take me to see that Chen Shouli, I turned it into a pig and made a snack dish, so I don't have to worry about the recipe in the future!"

"I'll go, then others won't arrest me as a demon girl and burn me to death! Unreliable, unreliable. Wang Yueying shook her head incessantly.

Chubby jumped on the chair and squatted across Wang Yueying. "Why don't you go to Shen San to mediate this matter? He also has a share in the recipes. Don't be embarrassed with me, you're a modern person, and you're afraid of that. ”

Wang Yueying just wanted to veto this mention, but Chubby had already read her mind, a great god is a great god!

Let's find Shen Sanye, after all, he is a big family in Yuanhe Town, so there may be some way.

At this time, the porter reported that the shopkeeper of Splendid Workshop sent someone to pass the word. Wang Yueying instructed him to bring it in.

"You're getting more and more generous now, and there's still a little bit of talk." Chubby teased her.

"There are not many young people in the family, so I bought a few more"

Before Wang Yueying could finish explaining, Chubby said impatiently, "I'm leaving, I saw too many ordinary people today, you can prepare something delicious for me tomorrow." After finishing speaking, a flash of light disappeared, and it may be back in the bracelet!

The porter brought in a thin middle-aged man, who must have been the one who spoke for Sanniang. Sanniang sent someone to inform him that there was one day before the set deadline, and asked if the agreed drawings had been drawn.

"Lao, you go back first to reply to your master, I am ready to prepare, and I will come over with the pattern later." Wang Yueying's drawings are almost drawn, anyway, whether to send money to the county order, I can't think of anything good by myself, so it's better to go out for a walk.

The man left the hall in response, went out the door, and went back.

Riding in a carriage, it was not long after Wang Yueying's own house arrived at Jinxiufang. Lu Sanniang was waiting at the door early, it seemed that she attached great importance to the pattern this time.

"Sanniang, don't blame, Yueying is late."

"It's not too late, it's not too late, let's go into the inner courtyard and talk about it." Sanniang took Wang Yueying's hand and personally led her to the inner courtyard. Entering the inner hall, passing through the courtyard, walking in the slender verandah, surrounded by flowers and plants, although it is not a dense and prosperous scene in early spring and summer, it is also neatly trimmed, which shows the importance of the owner's family. At the end of the verandah, there is a small door, through which you enter a quiet courtyard. The yard is not big, with white walls and black tiles, simple but not simple. In the middle is a lotus pond with several stone slabs square, and there are fish in the pond, a black carp, which turns over to the water surface from time to time, stirring up ripples. Around the courtyard, the corridor is connected. After the pond, it is the residence of Lu Sanniang, a two-story small building, there are several wooden hollow lanterns hanging high outside the main hall on the first floor, there is a plaque outside the hall, the book Defu Building, the hall also hangs a plaque, the book Yi'an Zhai. It turned out that this was Lu Sanniang's study, and it seemed that the second floor was her boudoir.

Wang Yueying is the first time to go to this small courtyard. In the past, the conversation was in the inner hall or in the pavilion in the courtyard, but today I entered the residence of Sanniang, the owner of the largest silk village in Yuanhe Town, and I was excited and curious, and I forgot to speak for a while.
