Chapter 14: The Merry Young Woman
Xia Hong looked at Meng Tianchu with a depressed look, a little unbearable, thought about it, and said: "The father has promised to recommend you to be the master of the criminal name, and you can't break your word, but you really have no research on the subject of the criminal name, and you can't recommend it hastily for the father." In this way, I will repair another book for my father to Xu Zhixian, and say that you have a little study of the first subject of criminal names, and while taking charge of the book, you may occasionally be able to help take care of some small criminal cases, according to your ability, and then arrange it as appropriate, so good? ”
Meng Tianchu thought to himself, I'm afraid this is also a compromise choice, otherwise, I really want to be a criminal name immediately, I'm afraid that there will inevitably be some mistakes in the case, and it is still a trivial matter to delay his future, if the case is wrongly judged because of this, what should be given is not given, and what should not be given is not given, isn't it a violation of the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, and I'm afraid it is not a good thing, thinking of this, he bowed deeply: "Thank you, father-in-law!" The son-in-law will live up to his father-in-law's ardent hopes and act as a person. ”
Xia Hong stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, picked up the wolf brush on the desk, wrote another letter, folded it and handed it to Meng Tianchu.
After Meng Tianchu thanked him, he put it in the previous envelope. Although Xia Hong only recommends himself to help deal with small criminal cases occasionally, he has also stepped into the threshold, he doesn't know much about the ancient criminal names, so he still honestly becomes a primary school student and learns from scratch, otherwise, if he makes a wrong case, everything will be over.
Early the next morning, Meng Tianchu got up early, he slept outside, embarrassed to lie in bed, and went out to the courtyard, only to see three carriages parked in the courtyard, one full of large and small boxes, presumably Xia Fengyi's dowry, Meng Tianchu's own forensic physical evidence investigation box and the big box of books were also on it. The other two cars, one belonged to Meng Tianchu and his wife, and the other belonged to the maid Feiyan and the only remaining old servant of the Meng family, Lao Hetou.
Everything was ready to stop, pulling the carriage out of the courtyard, Xia Hong and his wife felt sorry for their daughter, Mrs. Xia held her daughter's hand and tears flowed, and Xia Fengyi also accompanied her mother to shed tears. Xia Hong stroked his beard and explained the matters that Meng Tianchu needed to pay attention to when he went.
Feiyan helped Xia Fengyi to get into the carriage, Meng Tianchu and others also got into the carriage, waved goodbye to Xia Hong and his wife, and drove off with the handlebars.
Out of the capital, all the way south.
There were only Meng Tianchu and Xia Fengyi in the carriage, and when they put down the carport curtain, the handlebar outside was no longer visible.
Xia Fengyi kept bowing her head and weeping, but Meng Tianchu was in a good mood, humming a little song and looking out of the car window at the scenery. peeked at Xia Fengyi from time to time, and saw her crying with pear blossoms and rain, which made people infinitely regretful.
Xia Fengyi was tired of crying, so she stopped crying. At this moment, she has been out of the city for more than ten miles, Xia Fengyi raised the curtain, said stop to the handlebar, and then got out of the carriage, their carriage stopped, and the rest of the carriage also stopped.
Meng Tianchu thought that she wanted convenience, but there was wilderness in all four places, and there was no shelter, so he said: "Lady, go a little further, it is more convenient to find a secluded place...... Well! Wife! Didn't you hear that? ”
Xia Fengyi ignored Meng Tianchu's greeting, walked straight to Feiyan and their carriage, and whispered a few words. On the carriage, Lao He nodded and got out of the carriage, ran to Meng Tianchu's carriage with a small package, and said, "Young master, young grandmother said to let the old slave sit in a carriage with you, and she and Feiyan will take one." ”
Meng Tianchu's heart was on fire, this Xia Fengyi was really too much, not only did she not let herself sleep in the same room with her, but she was not even willing to sit together with a carriage, okay, count you ruthless! Meng Tianchu thought fiercely, Lao Tzu is not a dead-faced person.
Continuing to drive forward, Meng Tianchu hated his teeth itching, but Xia Fengyi's beautiful face always came to mind from time to time, and he couldn't shake his head.
Meng Tianchu simply took out the "Da Ming Law" to see, this vertical traditional style is difficult to recognize without punctuation, plus the road is bumpy, it is even harder to read, so he simply handed the book to Lao He Tou and asked him to read it to himself.
Lao He Tou used to be Meng Tianchu's father's scholar, and when the old man was tired of reading, he often asked him to read and listen, and now he took the book with a smile, and slowly recited it in a low voice, which is not bad, just like listening to an audio book. If you encounter something that is not clear, you have to ask Lao He Tou a few words. Although Lao He Tou does not know the criminal law, he is an ancient person after all, and he knows more or less about the Ming law, and his explanation can often make Meng Tianchu suddenly open.
At noon, I came to a small town and found an inn to shoot. Meng Tianchu got out of the car and stepped into the inn. Xia Fengyi, Feiyan and Lao He Tou also followed into the inn.
The shopkeeper greeted him, and Meng Tianchu said, "Is there a seat?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Guest officer, it's noon now, you see, the seats are full, you can only wait for grievances, sit in the hall." ”
This inn is not big, just one floor, the hall has been seated for more than half of the time, there are still a few empty tables left, and the so-called private room, in fact, is a relatively independent room separated by the window, standing up, the same can be seen in all directions.
Meng Tianchu raised his eyes and swept around the separated private room, and if there was really no vacancy, he said, "Okay then." He walked over to a table in the hall and sat down. looked around, and saw three people sitting in a private seat facing the street, a man and two women, it seemed that it was a couple with a little maid.
The man was twenty or thirty years old, with a slender figure, eyes like stars, and sword eyebrows flying obliquely, but he was still a little handsome. The young woman beside him, reclining on her temples, goose egg face, white and round, her eyebrows flying obliquely, her eyebrows like silk, and wearing a string of crystal pearl necklaces around her snow-white neck, emitting a soft light. Petite, with shaved shoulders, wearing a pomegranate long skirt, with a high chest bulging, he couldn't take his eyes off Meng Tianchu, his eyes were flowing, and he kept discharging at Meng Tianchu.
Meng Tianchu looked down slightly at his brocade clothes, feeling that he was in a majestic figure, but a little chic, he couldn't help but straighten his chest and glanced back at the young woman.
When the young woman saw that Meng Tianchu noticed her, she smiled sweetly, gently pursed her cherry-like red lips, and gently wiped the tip of her fragrant tongue on the red lips, giving Meng Tianchu another electric power, and then ate and chuckled.
The touch of this young woman's fragrant tongue shook Meng Tianchu's heart, thinking that this is really prodigal. Thinking that Xia Fengyi was on the side, he didn't dare to mess around, so he turned his head and asked Lao He to beckon Xia Fengyi and them to come and sit down.
