In front of the yamen of Zhenzi County, He Shuhuan beat the drum and sang the grievances, she beat the drum, her back was straight, and she always remembered the light in Mei Qingqian's eyes when she enlightened her.

The past has passed, she didn't feel sorry for anyone, and she didn't let herself fall, why don't she dare to raise her head and be a man now?

She also knows that once the drum is beaten, things will inevitably break out, even if she wins the lawsuit, the news that she was arrested for two days spreads, and for the woman, her reputation will be ruined.

Hehe, she sneered in her heart, she He Shuhuan was not afraid of bad reputation.

The drumming alarmed Zhou County, he opened the court to interrogate, He Shuhuan saluted respectfully, and told his grievances.

Sure enough, after finishing speaking, many onlookers at the yamen were not concerned about He Shuhuan's grievances, but with ambiguous eyes, speculating whether she had been taken advantage of.

Therefore, when ordinary women encounter this kind of thing, they can only break their teeth and swallow blood, and dare not publicize it.

"Ho, where are you? Is there anyone else in the family? Why didn't my father and brother accompany him to church? Zhou Xianling asked.

He Shuhuan's back was straight, "Back to the words of the adult, the grass people in Guanzhong, the family was once convicted, the grass people were once used as official prostitutes, and then redeemed themselves and got rid of their lowly status, and now they have opened an embroidery shop in the town to live, and the elders in the family have all passed away." ”

As soon as she said that she was cheap, there was another sigh outside, and even her eyes were a little different.

"That being the case, why don't you consider Du Yuanwai's request, you finally have a home." Zhou County asked puzzledly.

"My lord, the grass people have a lowly status, but they have also read and learned etiquette since childhood, how can they be outsiders? What's more, if I am also a woman, if I am the outer chamber of Du Yuan, where will I put Mrs. Du? ”

She didn't care about other people's eyes on the surface, but there was still some pain in her heart, so she could only hide her hand in her sleeve and pinch her palm vigorously to remind herself that she couldn't back down.

……

Mei Qingqian asked Li Xun to take her to Zheng Ya's temporary residence, and then knocked on the door, and Li Xun signaled that he was waiting outside.

She nodded, and went to see the unmarried woman of the family, Li Xun, a foreign man, was really inappropriate on the side.

The porter remembered her and immediately went to pass it on, and soon the little maid came out with the smell of perfume.

"Sister Mei, please come in, Miss is still dressing up, let me take you over." Ruyi stuck out her tongue, "She wanted to come out as soon as she combed her hair, but was held down by Mama. ”

"Why don't you want her to come out in person, let's just go over." Mei Qingqian said with a smile, feeling more and more that Zheng Ya has no shelf, she is very kind, and she really treats her as a friend.

I don't care about identity and background, I only care about whether I fall in love or not.

When she arrived at Zheng Ya's house, her hair was almost combed, and she turned her head to say hello to Mei Qingqian, but she was scolded by the old grandmother.

"Miss, you just can't hold it down, and your hair is almost torn." The old lady said a little sternly.

"I see." Zheng Ya pursed her lips and admitted her mistake pitifully.

The old lady didn't speak again, but there was love in her eyes, which showed that she was stern and harsh, and she really loved Zheng Ya.

Mei Qingqian smiled and nodded at her, waiting for her to insert a hairpin for her.

Mama glanced at her after she was busy, and saw that her eyes were clear, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and her breath was calm and not impatient, so she couldn't help nodding secretly.

Although this woman's status is ordinary, she is much better than the messy young ladies before.

Mei Qingqian blessed Mama with a blessed body, greeted politely, and performed a junior ceremony.

Mama helped her and said, "You are a friend of Miss, you don't need to be like me as an old slave, it's too polite." ”

"You're an elder, you should." Mei Qingqian said politely.

Mama smiled and nodded, "You talk, the old slave retired first." ”

Waiting for Mama to go out, Zheng Ya stuck out her tongue, "I was scolded by Mama again early in the morning, I was so miserable." ”

"I see that Mama loves you very much." Mei Qingqian said with a smile.

"Sister Mei, are you in a hurry?" Zheng Ya was very smart, and suddenly guessed Mei Qingqian's intention.

Mei Qingqian didn't like to beat around the bush, and directly told He Shuhuan about it.

"Originally, I shouldn't have asked about your family affairs, but when I left that day, I passed by Master Zheng, and he only went to inspect our village, so I guessed your identity."

She smiled apologetically, "I shouldn't have bothered you, but that Du Yuanwai got involved with the county order, so I was afraid that Sister Huan would be bullied." ”

Zheng Ya couldn't sit still for a long time, "What kind of era is this, there are still people who dare to rob women from good families, doesn't he want his head?" ”

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Mei Qingqian would not know, and explained: "A hundred years ago, there was a white female official who changed the status of our women for our women, opened a women's school, and there were more positions of female officials in the palace. Another point is that she applied to the emperor at that time to add a law that if someone robbed a woman from a good family, it was a great crime to kill the head, and neither the poor nor the prince could violate it. ”

Mei Qingqian admired her fellow villager even more in her heart, and looked at how good people mixed up, they all asked the emperor to revise the law.

"Women are weak in the end, and once they are robbed, they will inevitably affect their reputation, so they must be severely punished in order to put an end to such a crooked trend." Zheng Ya said.

"That Du Yuanwai dares to do this, it is nothing more than relying on two points, the first is that he has someone in the yamen, and the second is the identity of bullying Sister Huan." Mei Qingqian said that she felt a little sorry for He Shuhuan, and her voice was slightly choked.

"Sister Huan was also implicated at the beginning, she always kept her heart, and finally relied on her own efforts to get rid of her lowly status, but now she is being bullied by others in the past, which is too unfair."

Zheng Ya crossed her waist, "Has the trial already begun?" Let's take a look, I'll see if Zhou Xianling dares to show favoritism! ”

Ruyi was a little worried, and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, the master is the most old-fashioned, if you know that you are friends with Miss He, you will definitely be angry." ”

Zheng Ya stretched out her two hands and pinched Ruyi's face, and pulled hard to both sides, "Dead girl, you can't speak, don't say this in the future, otherwise your young lady will be angry." ”

Ruyi screamed in pain, "Miss spare your life, I won't say it, I'm not worried that you will be punished again?" ”

"If I am punished, I will be punished, if I see injustice and turn a blind eye, my father will be even more angry, that is not a gentleman's doing." Zheng Ya said seriously.

Mei Qingqian listened to it and had a little more affection for Master Zheng, a person who can educate his daughter like this, even if he is old-fashioned, is also a gentleman.

After saying this, the three of them went out, and when they saw Li Xun waiting at the door, Zheng Ya laughed and whispered, "Sister Mei's husband is very nervous about you." ”

Mei Qingqian was teased by the little girl, a little embarrassed, but quickly pulled back a game.

"When you get married in a while, your husband will do the same." She said with a grin.

Zheng Ya's face turned red instantly, "Don't make fun of me, hurry up and get down to business." ”
