Chapter 547: Sledgehammer Humiliated
"Up!"
"Kneel!"
"Up!"
"Kneel!"
In the brightly lit hall, an official of the Ministry of Rites stood tall and gave orders in an ancient tone.
The crowd followed the instructions, slowly knelt down, stood up again, knelt down again, stood up again.
Kneeling is not simply kneeling, the movement of the feet, the angle of knee bending, the curvature of the hips, and the amplitude of the upper body tilt all have strict requirements.
Standing is not a simple standing, when you get up, you must be slow and steady, your waist must be slightly bowed, your head must not be raised, but you must not bury it in your chest, but you must show it just right, just the right way to show your awe and obedience to your superiors.
Wang Dazhui stood in the queue, numbly completed a series of movements, glanced at the empty seat in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.
He wore a long robe with wide sleeves, an old hairstyle, and a strange hat on his head, which he felt indescribably awkward not only in the eyes of others.
Not only him, but the dozen or so servants of the Ye family in the queue all felt bad, so their faces were numb and gloomy.
There are many allusions in the books, but only if you have experienced it yourself can you understand its true meaning, such as the crown of the monkey.
A few days ago, they followed Su Yun to Furong City, and then were arranged by Su Yun to learn various etiquette here.
Dongdu pays too much attention to it, pays too much attention to it, and the etiquette is too cumbersome, it doesn't matter if they are rude, and it doesn't matter if they are considered vulgar, but if they are despised by the son and the Ye family because of this, it is their sin.
Therefore, Miss Su's arrangement is understandable, so at this moment, even if they are aggrieved and troubled, they can only endure it silently.
"Up!"
"Kneel!"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites with triangular eyes looked at the people kneeling neatly, smiled coldly, and walked forward with official steps.
Taking a wooden stick from a smiling subordinate, Triangular Eyes came behind Sledgehammer, picked it up, and slammed it on Sledgehammer's buttocks.
"Stupid as a pig, lift it up a little!" he said, and another stick fell.
Sledgehammer's face was flushed, his cheeks puffed out, he kept his kneeling position, and gently lifted his hips up a little.
With a bang, another stick landed on the sledgehammer.
Triangle Eyes said coldly: "A little higher!"
"A little higher!"
"A little higher!"
Under the tutelage of the triangular eye stick, the sledgehammer's strong body continued to adjust, and finally put on a comical pose, and the onlookers and miscellaneous servants could no longer hold back, and covered their mouths and let out chuckles.
The two maids serving Shangguan were so embarrassed that their faces were flushed, biting their red lips, and from time to time they looked up and peeked at the sledgehammer with their buttocks high.
The servants of the Ye family in the queue showed anger one by one, although the Ye family was not a big family, it was not the turn of these people to do this.
These grandsons, every time they train etiquette, they change the law to toss the sledgehammer, that is, the sledgehammer has a good temperament, so they can endure it.
However, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, even if they can't bear it, they are really worried that the sledgehammer can't help but make trouble for Gongzi and Miss Su.
Fortunately, the sledgehammer held back, his forehead rested on his hands, the two big hands supporting the ground trembled slightly, his eyes were red, his thick lips were tightly pursed, and his teeth made a gurgling sound that only he could hear.
Sledgehammer is a little stupid, but it's not stupid, and these days, these people have been humiliating him, as if they wish he couldn't help but be rough.
The more this is the case, the more the sledgehammer cannot be moved lightly, anyway, the stick falls on him, it is better to tickle.
Having said that, Sledgehammer is still very aggrieved in his heart, he is a dignified seven-foot man, but he was spanked and teased in public, how can this taste be good?
Sure enough, the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw that the sledgehammer had no intention of resisting at all, and a trace of gloom flashed in their eyes.
Immediately, a grim smile appeared on his lips, and he took the stick, one end of which slid over the butt of the sledgehammer before finally stopping in the hollow.
"I'm going to kill you!" Sledgehammer's eyes were red, he roared angrily, and when he got up, he slapped Triangle Eye in the face.
The thin body of the triangular eye flew upside down, and the cracked lips threw out teeth and blood, and finally fell to the ground heavily, and the whole head was swollen into a pig's head.
Leaning under the tall column, blood flowed from his triangular eyes, he pointed to the sledgehammer and shouted angrily: "Come on, come on, take him down for me!"
There were already more than a dozen soldiers standing aside, and after hearing the order of the triangular eye, they rushed out as soon as possible and surrounded the sledgehammer in the middle.
The sledgehammer rushed into rage, clenched his fists tightly, his chest rose and fell violently, and then he lowered his head and wiped a handful of tears.
Childe, the sledgehammer is useless, and I'm in trouble for you again!
The soldiers, who were originally a little worried, saw that the sledgehammer gave up resistance, and immediately rushed up, pressed the sledgehammer to the ground, and tied it up.
Everyone in the Ye family was shocked, Tian Wenxiu walked quickly to the triangular eye, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, the rough people in the countryside don't understand the rules and offend the adults, I hope you will raise your noble hands, raise your noble hands!"
As he spoke, Tian Wenxiu secretly stuffed a silver ticket of 1,000 taels to Triangle Eye.
The whole face of the triangular eye was swollen, only one eye remained, and there was a trace of blood under the nostrils, and he glanced at Tian Wenxiu coldly.
He probably had the impression that among the people who came to the Ye family to train etiquette, this old man had a meritorious reputation, and it was said that Ye Changsheng was very fond of him.
But so what, this is Furong City, the Eastern Capital, not Yunlong City!
Triangle Eye grabbed Tian Wenxiu's hand, held up the silver ticket, and sneered: "What is this, bribe this official, come on, take it for me!"
No matter how Tian Wenxiu cried out for injustice, he was still tied up by the wolf-like soldiers and escorted to the official office of Honglu Temple with a sledgehammer.
The two knelt on the ground, the only difference was that Tian Wenxiu was only shackled by the wooden flail, while the sledgehammer was the neck, and his hands and feet were shackled.
Tian Wenxiu and Sledgehammer were humiliated and angry, but fortunately it was night, and there was no one on the streets of Yamen.
If others see them like this, Childe's face will be lost.
At this time, they still didn't understand that they had deliberately arranged this bureau, which was used to slap Gongzi in the face.
Otherwise, why would they kneel in front of the gate of the yamen, the sledgehammer is just a slap in the face, and why should they be punished by Miki?
What really scared Tian Wenxiu was that if the other party's purpose was just to humiliate the son, it would be fine, but what if the purpose of the family was not only that, what if the family had greater malice towards the son?
