The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the interpretation of the Dragon Boat Festival in the Jin Dynasty's "Feng Tu Ji" is the most appropriate: Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival. The end, the beginning.

Under the inheritance and inheritance of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, the Dragon Boat Festival has been very prosperous when it arrives in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is an important festival for the people, the most important thing is to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan.

But in this era, people with a little common sense should know that the zongzi is more than 400 years later than Qu Yuan, how can it be to commemorate Qu Yuan? Of course, Zhao Zhen will never mention this matter, and most people will not say this kind of thing, after all, this is promoting the idea of loyalty and patriotism, and whoever opposes it has other plans.

In this joyous festival, the Beijing Mansion Mansion was fried, and there was a young woman standing in the lobby of the Yamen, judging from her clothes, it should be from a wealthy family, and the Biyaxuan ready-to-wear dress on her body alone would cost ten yuan to take.

In the Great Song Dynasty, women rarely come forward to sue in person, not to mention such a woman from a rich and noble family, which one doesn't go out as little as possible so as not to spread gossip and ruin her reputation?

But today was different, the woman was holding a wet cotton jacket in her arms, and the bright red jacket was dripping downward, mixed with the woman's tears, and soon formed a small puddle of water on the ground.

Since the government was divided into three offices, the prefect was rarely responsible for adjudicating cases, and most of them were handed over to the criminal department, but today's case is different, it involves a daughter-in-law suing her in-laws, and a son suing her father is almost a great rebellion, not to mention a rich family, which has a great impact.

The bystander in the palace was already full of people, and Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh that he, the governor of Beijing Prefecture, was going to be unlucky again. This case is actually simple, but it involves the issue of customs and folk customs, "May is not raised", this time it is very tricky, not to mention the daughter-in-law sues her in-laws, if she loses, I am afraid that she will not be able to be a person in the future.

Since the Han Dynasty, people believe that May 5 is an evil month and a bad day, and there is a custom of "not lifting the May child", that is, the baby born on May 5 cannot be raised by either a man or a woman. Once raised, the man will harm the father and the woman will harm the mother.

And obviously the woman was holding the dead baby in her arms, and her appearance was extremely miserable, and the whole person stood there as if she had been taken away from her life, even the "mighty" voice of the ascension hall did not make her much spirited.

Liu Yu helplessly patted the shocked wood and said: "Who is the name of the person who beat the drum of injustice, and who is the complaint?" ”

The young woman's knees bent slightly and sang: "Yang Xiu, a folk girl, beat the drum and voice the grievances, and tell her in-laws to drown my son!" ”

With Yang Xiu's words, the whole government was in an uproar, not because of this case, but because of Yang Xiu's actions, drowning babies was not uncommon in the beginning, and it was not done on the fifth day of the fifth month of May. Besides, the in-laws drowned their own grandson for the good of Yang Xiu and his wife, the May son harmed the father, and the daughter harmed the mother, since it was for your good, how could you sue the in-laws?

This case basically does not need to be tried, Liu Yu cleared his throat and said: "The daughter-in-law sued her in-laws for this big rebellion, and the official saw that you lost your beloved son and left quickly." ”

The people naturally support Liu Yu's approach, woman! You should be obedient, you should listen to your in-laws, how can your in-laws know more? How can there be in-laws who are well-informed!

There are even scholars who chant loudly on the side: "Women have the righteousness of three obedience, and there is no special way." Therefore, if you do not marry your father, you will marry your husband, and your husband will die from your son. The nine concubines are in charge of the law of women's learning, and they teach the emperor with nine teachings: women's morality, women's words, women's appearance, and women's skills. ”

The people around the three from the four virtues are unanimously applauding, and there are more and more people reading in recent years, and people's good opinion of readers is getting higher and higher.

The woman did not leave, but knelt down and said: "Master Qiyu, the people's daughter must also sue, not to hate her in-laws, but for the sake of future generations!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire yamen was silent, and even Liu Yu in the warm pavilion in the hall was slightly shocked, but what made people even more shocked was the woman's words: "Xi Meng tasted the king and was born together!" If people have no eyes before and after, how can they spoil the innocence of children? The people's daughter is willing to sue her in-laws and police descendants for the rut of the car. ”

Liu Yu was speechless for a while, he didn't expect the little woman in front of him to be so eloquent and move Meng Weijun out, if he didn't know, he would definitely laugh at the woman like that scholar.

"The little woman uses Meng Weijun to refer to herself as a son, which is really arrogant!"

Yang Xiu turned around and glared at him: "How can those who don't learn and have no skills humiliate me, Xi Meng Weijun was born in the evil moon and you don't know?" ”

The self-inflicted "scholar" was blushed by Yang Xiu's old face, hid his face and left, but Liu Yu felt that he was luckier than himself, at least he could escape, but he couldn't, the woman in front of him was afraid that she was the same as her daughter, she was a knowledgeable person, and she was the most difficult to get along.

This little woman is about the same age as her daughter, and her character is idle, and the master has handed over Yang Xiu's past comments to Liu Yu, and it can be seen from above that she is really a filial woman.

But the daughter-in-law sues her in-laws, but it is really a great rebellion, and the most important point is that filial piety comes first, and suing her in-laws is unfilial, in this era when Confucianism is regarded as a classic, Yang Xiu is wrong, and she can't help her, let alone change the similar situation later.

The people in the hall were in an uproar, obviously they didn't understand why Yang Xiu still had to sue, anyway, the child was dead, and the sue would have no effect, and it would even offend the in-laws, making it impossible to gain a foothold in her husband's family in the future.

Liu Yu frowned, and said ruthlessly: "Yang Xiu, a folk girl, is unreasonable, and people who come out of the mansion are not allowed to sue." ”

After hearing that Liu Yu, the eldest man, put an end to this matter, everyone fled and left, not for other reasons, everyone knew that Yang Xiu did the right thing, everyone knew that she was in order not to repeat the tragedy, but everyone did not support her......

"The sky is dark, the sun and the moon are hanging upside down, there is no reason to complain, how can the sky be bright!? My son, you died in vain...... Bah! ”

Yang Xiu spat at the Yamen of Beiping Mansion fiercely, she could only use this method to tell the injustice of the world, from beginning to end her husband and in-laws did not appear, because the Yamen was not officially accepted at all, which is why Yang Xiu appeared in the Beiping Mansion Yamen instead of the Beiping Mansion Criminal Division.

The desperate Yang Xiu walked away, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't get justice here, and she still couldn't make people pay attention to the absurdity of May's inadequacy! Where is justice......

When she walked into the uninhabited alley, a middle-aged man wearing Yanju clothes appeared on the way, and Yang Xiu knocked on the eldest lord who had just sat in the high hall, the prefect of Beiping Mansion: "Why did the eldest lord stop me?" ”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "Look at your appearance and my little girl in the boudoir, the official sympathizes with you, but can't help you, you are familiar with poetry and books, and you should also know the subset of scriptures and history, which is more important and which is more important." ”

Yang Xiu turned around and left: "It's useless to talk more." ”

"There is only one person in the world who can help you, today's saint, this official heard that the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month is the beginning of the Keju in Guangyu Shed, if you have the guts, you can give it a try."
