Chapter 241: Fear Arises
The woman said, "When they want to marry wives, it will be up to them to see what they are capable of." The two of us can only give so much, and if they want good, they will earn it themselves. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Doesn't your daughter need to read and learn words? ”
The woman smiled and said, "Like the daughters of our poor people, what are you going to do to read and learn to write?" Waste of money! Just know how to do things! In the future, if you have a good appearance and good character, you will be good in this life. ”
Zhong Yuqi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in ancient times, it was really difficult for women among ordinary people. Moreover, this idea is still ingrained in the next generation.
Even if she is the daughter of a rich family, although she does not worry about eating and drinking, and there are people to serve, sometimes she has to do something that she is unwilling to do for the sake of the family's interests.
It's better in modern times, at least after I leave the family, I still have a chance to live. In ancient times, how did a woman survive outside? Not to mention a foothold.
The woman looked at Zhong Yuqi and said, "Unlike Miss, she was born in a rich and noble family, and she doesn't have to worry about anything." ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Each has its own good. The conditions in my family were pretty good before, but I couldn't stand the flying disaster, and finally the family property was seized by the clansmen. Fortunately, with the help of my old friends, I am now able to return to my hometown. ”
The woman didn't know what was going on at Zhong Yuqi's house, but she knew that she couldn't ask, so she only said, "Where is Miss?" ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Yunzhou. ”
The woman nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh! Yunzhou, I see! Yunzhou is remote, and the people are ...... Hehe! Well, there are always good and bad people. Now that the young lady is in power, is it also Jitai's coming. It's just that there are so many people in Yunzhou, what is the young lady going to do back there? ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "My parents are buried here, how can I not go back to visit? ”
When the woman heard this, she felt very embarrassed to ask such a question, and her face was sympathetic.
The woman said, "You are so filial, and your parents will be comforted by the heavenly spirits." It's just that...... Listen to my man, the people there are not easy to mess with, and the young lady is going, although there are many people, but it is ......"
Zhong Yuqi said: "It's okay! After all, the court has a law, and they can't mess around, right? ”
The woman said, "Miss is wrong about that! The so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Yunzhou is remote, and it is in the mountains and wilderness, and generally the big officials above will not go there. Therefore, the law of the court there is the law of the state lord himself. Even if someone goes out to complain, someone from above, and the state lord deals with it, and the matter will be over. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "In this way, is there a problem with the law of the imperial court, or is there a problem with the people in the imperial court?" ”
The woman said, "No one else can tell me about this." Anyway, in the end, this matter is over. My man also heard that it was because the clan power there was very strong, as long as they could settle some things, although the people in the court knew it in their hearts, they couldn't do anything about them. ”
Zhong Yuqi nodded and said, "I understand!" It is nothing more than false testimony and the elimination of criminal evidence. In such an arrogant place, the court actually ignored it, wouldn't that ruin the reputation of the court? ”
The woman hurriedly stopped Zhong Yuqi and said, "Miss, stop talking!" This is just our family, and other people's homes are far away from here, so others can't hear this. If this word spreads, I am afraid that those masters will take you to the guilt. ”
Zhong Yuqi was a little puzzled and said, "I just told the truth, why do you want to ask me for the crime?" ”
The woman said, "Miss is still young, and she doesn't understand the rules of this world!" Some truths, that's unspeakable! It's like the former prince's rebellion, as long as the relevant words were mentioned, someone sued him, and he was sentenced to prison and executed with heavy responsibility! Oops...... I'm talkative! I'm too talkative! ”
After saying this, the woman got up with some fear, and fidgeted.
Zhong Yuqi comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't panic! We went to my sister-in-law's house today to disturb, and my sister-in-law reminded us so much, we have to be grateful to my sister-in-law. When the former prince happened, we were only a few years old at that time, and we only heard about it, so how did we know what it was? ”
Zhong Yuqi: "It's just that now I hear my sister-in-law mention it, I feel so strange." I know that after this incident, it has become a taboo, why did my sister-in-law bring it up again today? Of course, the sister-in-law is also a slip of the tongue. It's just that more than ten years have passed since this incident, and everyone should have forgotten about it, right? ”
The woman hesitated, but she still opened her mouth and said, "Actually, in the first few years, this matter was still circulating among the people. Especially in our part, everyone is still talking about this. Later, I don't know who sued, but the government arrested a group of people and asked them about the crime, so everyone didn't dare to talk about it anymore. Actually, we all know that the former crown prince is ...... It's just that this kind of thing is not something that we ordinary people can say, so it's better not to talk too much. Listening to what Miss just said, I was taboo for a while, so I slipped out. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Please rest assured, sister-in-law, we will not talk about it to others." If the sister-in-law doesn't believe it, we can also swear to God. ”
At this moment, the woman seemed to see it and said, "Ah! Actually, even if I didn't say it, as long as a few people proved that I said it, it would be considered my statement. Even if I do, as long as no one sues, no one else will know what I said. In the past, because of this, many people in the village were unjustly killed. ”
Xiao Yulin's face showed a look of self-reproach, as if these things were ordered by him.
Zhong Yuqi looked at Xiao Yulin, and then said to the woman: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan." As an emperor, he also knows this truth. It is precisely because of this method that few people mention this matter now? Please also ask your sister-in-law to be careful in the future and not to mention this matter again. ”
The woman said, "It is also because the prince came to my house when he went on patrol in the past. At that time, I happened to be pregnant, and the prince was glad to see it, and gave me some silver. This house was made of that money. When I saw that the former prince was kind, I couldn't help but think more about it. Ay! ”
At the end, the woman sighed, and a sad look appeared on her face.
Zhong Yuqi said: "Right and wrong are at ease in the hearts of the people, and there will always be a time to see the light of day again in the future." ”
Xiao Yulin hurriedly stopped Zhong Yuqi from talking and said, "Little pepper! Don't say that again! ”
The woman smiled faintly and said, "It seems that everyone knows that this matter cannot be said. ”
