Chapter 13 Giving face to each other

Shen Gui in Shen Yun's memory was extremely fond of himself.

Xu is much younger because he is much younger, and Shen Gui treats Shen Yun like his own child.

When Shen Yun left Chengji County that day, he bought a fine-woven indigo dyed cloth in the cloth village.

Compared with the burlap worn by ordinary people, its texture is not only fine, but also double-layered, so that although it is lighter and thinner than burlap, it will not be cold at all when you make clothes in winter.

This beautifully crafted fabric is worth hundreds of dollars, to say the least.

I don't know how many people who have entered the cloth village are greedy, but they are all shocked by the high price in the end.

Shen Gui was a little panicked: "Little brother, where did you get the money?" We can't do anything that violates the law. Shen Yun's situation in the family Shen Gui knows very well, they are all the same poverty, where can they get so much money to buy such good fabrics.

A sentence seems to remind the grandmother of the silver bottle.

The wrinkled crooked mouth grinned, and cried out loudly. Perhaps the neighbors watched her more and more excited, and her voice was a little higher than before.

"Yes, Shen Yun, you said that you are also a scholar, why do you still have to do sneaky things. It's not good to spread out. In our Zhu family, we don't dare to ask the sister who stole the child as a daughter-in-law. ”

Why are there so many people who hate the rich?

Most of them suffer from inequality.

The situation of Shen Yun's family was not as good as that of the Zhu family before, but he suddenly took out a good cloth. Then the grandmother of the Zhu family, who was originally as black as a crow, had all kinds of imbalances in her heart.

This imbalance is enough to make a country fool who has a half-long tongue and loves to gossip, without the slightest scruple about the presence of the person concerned, spread such rumors that can ruin a person's life.

The neighbors who were still envious suddenly had an inexplicable figure in their eyes, but their eyes looked at Shen Yun a little more contemptible.

Shen Gui knew that he had said the wrong thing, his face bowed, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Shen Yun.

She knows very well what kind of storm her mother-in-law, who has a stiff relationship with her, will rise because of this.

Thinking left and right, Shen Gui could only kneel on the ground and cry in a low voice.

It's just that this time it has confirmed Shen Yun's trumped-up charge of stealing, and the neighbors who were watching from afar actually gathered near Zhu Aming's house at this time, and there was a great posture to prevent Shen Yun from escaping.

Shen Yun's eyes were a little cold.

He never imagined that a person's jealousy and resentment could reach such a level.

The silver bottle was already in a hurry, and he said unscrupulously about Shen Yun's happiness in making money that day, but the loud voice could not make the mantra believe, and the explanation could not awaken the deliberately confused mind.

In the end, there were still people who ran out to call the village elders.

Most of the village elders are appointed by the elders of the village, who can exercise certain rights in place of the government. And the big and small things in the village, as long as they involve the fairness of things, they also bother these elders to judge.

For something like Shen Yun, if the village elder comes forward and sends it to the government, it is the most appropriate.

Looking at the distant back, Shen Yun's eyes when he looked at Shen Gui's mother-in-law finally changed from cold to sharp.

It's okay for the predecessor to come to the Zhu family to suffer some wretchedness, but insulting people and clearing their reputation, in this era of centralized power of scholars and doctors, it is no different from killing people.

Originally, he planned to explain this matter slowly in front of people, and it was a big thing to turn a small thing into a small matter, but Shen Yun looked at poor Shen Gui and the silver bottle that was still ignored when his voice was hoarse, and he still couldn't help it.

After a while, the two old men with goosebumps were surrounded by a group of people and slowly walked into the courtyard.

When the villagers of Ningxi Fort saw these two, they greeted each other affectionately, and it seemed that Shen Yun and the three of them had become dispensable characters in an instant. It wasn't until the end of a humble greeting that the two old men walked in, and the scene returned to the solemnity of Fangcai.

In the end, it is an elderly person, and although the party involved in this matter is not the villagers of Ningxibao, the elders of the two villages still do not treat each other coldly like those villagers.

One of the old men in earthy yellow clothes slowly walked up to Shen Gui and said appropriately and kindly: "Daughter-in-law Aming, don't sit on the ground, it's autumn in the end, and the ground is cold, which is not good for a woman's family." ”

The woman who was standing behind her said softly: "A few of you are also blind, so let the family sit on the ground, and you don't lose your heart." Hurry up, pull it up. Something to say slowly. ”

Shen Yun immediately had a good impression of this old man.

As for the other, his face was a little stern, and he walked straight to Shen Yun, and his rough voice opened: "You are Shen Yun, the one who was said to have stolen something?" ”

One was said to mean that this person didn't really regard Shen Yun as a thief in his heart, but just wanted to scare Shen Yun with a stern expression, and then observed his expression to further conclude.

At this time, the old man in Huangyi Village also walked over, Shen Yun smiled, and bowed down: "The two old men are fine." This matter is in Ningxi Fort, and it is not clear when I think about it. For the sake of my name, I think it's better to go to the county office. ”

Over the years, there have been many people, but the elders of the two villages have never seen someone who is so justified as being identified as a thief.

There is a lot of scheming in my heart. Just wait for Shen Yun to continue to talk before making a decision.

"This matter was all caused by the cloth in the hand of the silver bottle, and at the same time, it was her grandmother who took the lead, saying that I stole it. Therefore, I will be the defendant, and the aunt of the Zhu family will be the plaintiff. How is it? ”

Although he said it to the two village elders, Shen Yun's gaze did not take his eyes off the long-tongued grandmother of the silver bottle.

The scorching gaze was like a pinprick in the eye, the old woman of the Zhu family lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at Shen Yun, but she still didn't back down at all: "Go and go, I think you are stolen and a scholar in vain." ”

Shen Yun, who had already had a plan in his heart, was not moved by this old woman at all, but just looked at the two village elders and asked for their opinions.

In the end, it is not the kind of foolish woman who compares to it, the elders of the two villages found that Shen Yun did not even have a trace of cowardice from beginning to end, and even instigated him to let himself and others send him to the court to check the book, which is a bit strange.

Silver Bottle still didn't give up the explanation, but at this time he was already hoarse.

The old man, who had questioned Shen Yun very sternly before, suddenly brightened his eyes when he saw the silver bottle holding the cloth in his hand.

nodded at the old man in yellow, and then Shen Yun was invited to the house by the old man in yellow under the pretext of the old man. And the old man of the iron-masked village slowly came to squat in front of the silver bottle.

Touching the delicate cloth, the old man secretly praised himself, his tone was not as stern as before, but looked at the silver bottle very kindly: "Girl, tell Ah Weng how this cloth came from." ”

Tong Yan is the most taboo, especially when the truth is not what others say.

The silver bottle sobbed, and his throat hoarsely told Shen Yun that he had previously sold words in the city to get two taels of silver and copied books to get hundreds of dollars. even praised a few words of luxury in Fanfu.

The old man couldn't help but be silent.

looked at the old woman of the Zhu family, and she was even more disgusted.

He was sure that Yin'er would not lie, because since Shen Yun dared to take the initiative to ask to go to the county office, it showed that he had sufficient confidence in the origin of this cloth.

But what is difficult now is that the old woman of the Zhu family has already retreated, but Shen Yun does not want to settle the matter here. He also listened to what the neighbors were saying when he entered the door.

For a scholar, ruining one's reputation is equivalent to killing one's parents, and this kind of thing is child's play.

This is especially true when slanderous words come from close relatives.

Glaring fiercely at the old woman of the Zhu family, the old man slowly walked in front of Shen Gui, who was a little calm.

"Daughter-in-law Amin, what do you say?"

Shen Gui was silent.

She is not stupid, she listened to Yinhua'er's words and knew that it was the people around her who were wrong about this matter. At this time, the village elder came over, just to borrow his identity to persuade Shen Yun a few words, and then turn the matter over.

However, is Shen Yun willing?

Shen Gui didn't know. This decision, she can't do, and she doesn't want to do.

"This matter is all up to the younger brother, he is the one who was framed, and he is the one who has damaged his name. As a sister, I can't do much but make trouble for him. Shen Gui's words made the old woman of the Zhu family not far behind him frightened.

"You poisonous woman, do you want your mother-in-law to suffer from that prison before you have to rest?" Screaming, not like a woman in her fifties. If it weren't for someone around him to stop him, he was afraid that he would rush over and scuffle with Shen Gui.

"That's enough."

The village elder was very upset.

In order to save her, he had the cheekiness to ask Shen Gui for help. I don't know that people don't give themselves face at all, which makes the village old man angry.

I don't know that this foolish woman will add fuel to the fire.

If the fight starts again, the young man inside is young and vigorous, and goes straight to the government in a rage, how can she, the old woman, escape because of her old age.

glared at the old woman of the Zhu family fiercely, and the village elder walked towards the house angrily. So far, we can only see if Shen Yun's little descendant can be magnanimous.

As soon as he stepped into the room, the old man in yellow and Shen Yun were chatting about something else.

Seeing that the iron-masked old man's originally serious face was a little unsightly, the two also stopped talking and watched quietly. For a moment, there was silence in the dimly lit room.

The old man still couldn't hold back in the end, looking at Shen Yun with an indifferent expression, his tone softened a lot: "Hou Sheng, I also asked about it just now, and they really made it out of nothing." You see, there is no trouble left and right, if you give me a face, it will be as if it didn't happen. ”

After speaking, the old man in yellow also looked at Shen Yun, just wanting to get a definite answer from his mouth, then a storm would subside like this, and the people in his village would not be held accountable.

"That's it, forget it?"

Shen Yun did not give the old man special respect because of this, but asked very angrily: "Face, you always have to give each other." I gave face to the old man, who gave me face? ”
