105. Lawsuits
After dinner, when I was about to go to sleep, I found that the old man swept out of the three rooms, one for Shen Rong's knee, one for his entourage, and the remaining one for Ru Sanshui and Jiang Heng, with only one big bed.
Ru Sanshui and Jiang Heng stood in front of the door and were silent for a long time.
Ru Sanshui: "When I was fooled into saying that it was my brother-in-law, I didn't think about it so much......"
Jiang Heng: "I'll go and tell the old man that I'm afraid of the cold, and I want two more quilts." At night I lay on the floor. ”
Ru Sanshui grabbed Jiang Heng and was very moved: "I wronged you, that ...... Let's ask for another curtain to put it on......"
To say that this house is indeed much more exquisite than the Yuelu that Ru Sanshui hastily dotted out, and the waterscape in the backyard is also beautiful.
Maybe it's good feng shui, maybe it's because you don't need to guard against people if you don't live in an inn, after Ru Sanshui meditates and breathes, this night's rest is very stable.
When Jiang Heng woke up, he saw that the curtain had been lifted, and Ru Sanshui was nowhere to be seen.
He happened to be dressed, and the sandalwood door was pushed open, facing a vast lake and marsh, and there was some fog in the early morning, which looked fairy-like.
Ru Sanshui sat face out on the handrail of the hallway, the morning mist at her feet, stirring up white curls.
This symmetrical landscape, Rusanshui is the most brilliant stroke in the center. The door frame seemed to become the edge of the painting, and when he pushed it open, he opened the scroll.
The two of them walked side by side, talking with one and the other.
Ru Sanshui said: "I look at this yard comfortably, but unfortunately it is not good for the old man, and his bones are easy to get wet and cold." ”
"But it's just right for your physique. ”
Ru Sanshui: "Well, yes on weekdays, but I need to replenish my yang spirit now, and it takes a bit too much to save that child." ”
The trestle bridge leading to the center of the lake was also hidden in the fog, it was a bridge made of view, and it did not lead anywhere, it should have been only twenty paces long, and at this time it seemed that there was no end to the dark road.
The fog gradually dissipated, and the trestle was still the same short trestle, and in the middle of the lake was a lonely, old dead tree, lonely on a platform a little above the water. Its branches are like the jade arms stretched out by a dancing girl, fishing for the moon in the water, but it is a pity that there is no star and no moon, and it is even more lonely.
Jiang Heng suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "Look." ”
Ru Sanshui looked in the direction and smiled. It was a thin rainbow that loomed between the eaves, and if you took ten more steps or five steps back, you couldn't see it. Standing right here, you can get a glimpse of its shy and delicate face.
Standing here, two people, a rainbow color, just the right heartbeat.
After looking at the rainbow color for a while, Jiang Heng said, "There is something today, I want to go out." You just cultivate here, and I'll talk to you in the evening. ”
Ru Sanshui nodded: "Okay." Actually, I can get a rough idea of where the things that appear in Shinshu come from, but I'll figure it out and I'll tell you about it in the evening. ”
Sending Jiang Heng out, Ru Sanshui walked around the house, but he didn't see the courteous old man yesterday.
At the corner, he bumped into Shen Rong's footsteps and hurried out, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal, just now someone from the yamen came, saying that Lao Zheng had a little dispute with someone in the market early in the morning, and I went to get the person back. ”
Lao Zheng should be talking about the old man who calls himself an "old slave". Ru Sanshui actually couldn't sit still: "I'm also idle, let's go and have a look with you." ”
The yamen is not far away, and it is the time when the morning market is busy, and there are not many people watching outside, so Ru Sanshui will stop in the courtyard outside the middle hall.
When he came, he had already ascended to the hall and was making inquiries, and the officials were sitting on top, and the people on both sides were kneeling.
The three water monsters asked, "Why do you sue in court and still kneel?"
Shen Rongkne: "Parents with good taste and rank naturally have to kneel." ”
Ru Sanshui pouted and was puzzled: "Those who take money to do errands for others are more important than those who do things? What is the reason? In the past, in lawsuits, as long as the sinners had not been convicted, everyone in the court only had to respect each other for three points and perform their duties. Why is it still divided into three, six, nine and so on. ”
Shen Rongkne: "You used to ...... When?"
Ru Sanshui was not angry: "Two hundred years ago! ”
Shen Rong choked on his knees and didn't know how to reply to her.
The lawsuit is not very interesting, it is nothing more than a hawker playing a scoundrel, the bad eggs are hidden in the good, and people are caught by the egg liquid, and they have to pay for it.
Ru Sanshui has lived for a long time, and he is not so sensitive to encounters and experiences, and as soon as he talks about the cause and effect, Ru Sanshui yawns. Shen Rongknee was also tired and panicked, and he originally planned to take the money to take people away directly, and he really wanted to buy all the eggs and finish it.
But Ru Sanshui stopped and said: "It's just that if you see that someone will do this because you are afraid of trouble, this kind of scoundrel can steal the loophole, and if you give it, you will cheapen him." Taste the sweetness, and next time you will intensify your efforts to slander others. ”
What Ru Sanshui didn't say was that if Shen Rongknee paid the money without authorization, it was not a good thing but a wrongful thing, so he acquiesced to Old Man Zheng for this crime that he had not done, and he had to endure the dumb loss and thank you. A few broken eggs are a small matter, but people feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the official style is still clear, maybe the peddler has repeated his old tricks many times, and he is a frequent customer.
Shen Rongknee sighed: "It's not easy for parents to be officials, early in the morning, you have to take care of all the trivialities." ”
Shen Rongknee took Old Man Zheng out of the yamen, obviously he didn't help him, but he thanked him all the way, saying that the master was kind and good to him, and he came to see him in person, and began to blame himself for not being carefree.
Ru Sanshui became more and more tired and panicked when he heard this, why did he desperately take the blame on his head?
"Old man, where are the rules? It's too restrictive, let it go, this is not the inner courtyard of the palace that will lose your head on trivial matters. ”
Shen Rongkne: "Don't say it, he really came out of the palace, I think he is really diligent, so I am willing to keep him." ”
Old man Zheng replied respectfully: "I'm all a coffin, what's the use, it's still the master's kindness." ”
Shen Rongknee originally just sent Ru Sanshui over, but he rested all night because it was dark, and he said goodbye halfway to respond to Tianfu.
Old man Zheng's illness is not curable, it is just the long-term root of the illness that fell through hard work, and Ru Sanshui went to the pharmacy to buy some tonics. As soon as he paid the silver, he didn't touch Ru Sanshui's hands, so the old man Zheng was busy carrying it for Ru Sanshui.
Ru Sanshui walked along the side path and picked some wild flowers, wanting to take them back to replenish his spirit. The more he picked, the more he plucked, the old man inevitably had to help on the side, Ru Sanshui had to lie that he wanted these flowers to be used as a dressing, and he didn't want others to touch them, so that the old man stopped.
Back to the mansion, Ru Sanshui asked the old man to decoct the medicine, he took it seriously and sent it to decoction, Ru Sanshui looked at the color and nodded: "You drank it." ”
Old man Zheng was at a loss for a moment, and Ru Sanshui added: "The medicine of tonic, the root of the old disease in your body, you can't take fierce medicine, and it is best to warm and supplement." ”
He still thanked him vigorously, almost crying and drinking the medicine. Thou Sanshui instructed him to take one post a day until he had drunk all the medicine he had bought today.
When Jiang Heng came back, it was dark, and Old Man Zheng came out: "Why did Jiang Guanren come back, it's time to give the key." ”
Jiang Heng: "The key?"
Old man Zheng: "Hey, it's the access control in the palace, and the old slave said that he was used to it." ”
Ru Sanshui also walked out, and smiled at the appearance of a beautiful and virtuous lady of everyone: "Hard, we still have an early rest today as yesterday, you can go and rest." ”
When the old man heard the word "you", he was humble again, this didn't dare to be disrespectful, and the rhetoric was set.
Ru Sanshui looked at the sky and sighed.
She figured out the way, this is the old man's habit, and it is also the most comfortable way to get along, if she breaks it hard, it is not good for him, but for him.
People's standards are different, and we can't force our own proportions to be compared to others' proportions. Ru Sanshui simply ordered him to go down and rest, and he was not allowed to get up until he rested enough for dawn.
