The school palace of Fenzhou State School, located in the adjacent pai of the state government, occupies an east-west straight street, sitting north and facing south.
This is also a downtown square, just on the open space opposite the school palace, a few circles of partition shops were temporarily set up, from pen, ink, paper, inkstone to rouge gouache, calligraphy and painting antiques to oil, salt, firewood and rice, there is everything.
Only this road is separated, to the north side, the same side of the open space is not allowed to build indiscriminately, and the people who walk back and forth are also Confucian students wearing jade clothes and soaps, and there are also those young people in caftan brown or gray shirts, about the entourage of the students from rich and noble families, who stay outside the school palace steadily, etc., and the naughty ones will come to the south of the road.
Lunan Shangji outermost circle, in the middle of a tea shop, is the old father with his little daughter here to operate, the youngest daughter's name is called Shuhui, only thirteen years old, petite figure delicate lips and tongue, the unique job is mental arithmetic, on how many guests used how many refreshments, how much money should be paid and how many to find the head, the calculation of paper and pen is not used, through the brain can be clearly understood.
It attracted a small boy Mu Yan who often came to the tea shop to talk to Shuhui, saying that her unique job was amazing, and that her own Lao Tzu was still in charge of collecting accounts for the main family, and the arithmetic was far inferior to Shuhui's aura, and the verbal compliments were not enough, and he would always take out a few Tongbao to buy sugar paintings for Shuhui, or he would weigh a pound of red melon seeds, and finally earned Shuhui girl embroidered a purse with her own hands, and hung it without leaving her body, holding her head high.
Mu Yan's little brother is also happy to come to Shuhui today, as usual to buy a blind man's candy painting to fill the snack, Shuhui is also reluctant to eat as usual, inserted on the dough to enjoy a while, this pair of young boys and girls are noisy, just listen to a noise, turn to look, only to see a white temples, with a black cloth blue moire headband old woman running westward, just sitting at this fork in the road, patting her thighs and began to cry.
Shuhui was anxious and hurried over to help.
"Don't cry here, mother, people misunderstand that we are bullying, if you have grievances, you should also go to the neighboring state government to beat the drum and redress your grievances."
The little girl is petite, but the old lady has round arms and thick waist, where can she help up? Shuhui was dragged to a stumbling side, almost not pounced on the old lady, she felt embarrassed, blushed with shame, and a pair of round eyes glared at Mu Yan.
Mu Yan's heart beat for a while, but his feet knew more than others, so he subconsciously rushed over and helped Shuhui to pull the old woman up easily.
I didn't think that the old woman slipped down again.
"What kind of world is this? The corrupt officials in the yamen bullied me, an old widow, and even the same people didn't have any kindness, and I was wronged by human life on my back, and I specially found here, and you dare to rectify me like this! ”
As soon as I heard the words "stolen officials and human lives", the crowd coaxed a large group to surround them, not to mention crowding the front of the tea shop, and even the car road across the school palace accounted for half of it! The old woman rolled more and more on the ground, grabbed two handfuls of ash in her hands, and wiped them on her face, and in a moment she was too dirty to look at.
But this aroused more and more good intentions among onlookers.
Poor Shuhui father, others are honest, and their mouths are still stammering, so they don't do greetings every day, so they are busy working by the stove, but when they hear such a noise, they have to run out and whirl, and when they are in a hurry, the words are even more unfavorable: "You, you, you say, say, I, I, I, I, I ......"
There was an idle man who teased loudly: "I really can't see that my dad can still hook up with an old widow, but if you hook up, you will hook up, how can you still provoke people to come to the door, crying and rolling looking for death and life!" ”
Shuhui's father was even more anxious, pointing at the idler: "You, you, you, me, me, me...... Ah! "Stamped his foot hard, and he himself seemed to be following the old tears.
"Dad, don't be angry, don't be like these bastards." Shuhui was busy helping her old father, and she couldn't care about being embarrassed at this time, and stared angrily at the old woman who came to the door to make trouble: "This hun woman looks like she came to the door to make money, I can tell you, don't ask if we only have two father and daughter here to watch the shop, you think that bullying can succeed, do you know my brother-in-law, he is a helper in a big business, he is still a big man, and he can usually talk to the servants in the yamen, if you want to make trouble again, I will let my brother-in-law go to report to the official!" ”
The old woman seemed to be stunned, followed by a piercing cry, and her thighs slapped more and more: "Let's just say that there is no way for my old woman to live in this world, what kind of goods?" The helpers of the businessmen's family can even shout and beat me to death in broad daylight, this God still has eyes, is there justice in the world? ”
Seeing this situation, Mu Yan was very anxious for Shuhui, and was about to stand up for his sweetheart and scold the old woman, but he didn't think about it, but he heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Isn't this the old lady of Wu Ergui's family in Dongxu?" Last year, her eldest son Wu Dagui was killed, but I remember that the murderer of your eldest son was not your daughter-in-law and adulterer Jiao Manshi? This case has already been concluded, what are you doing with this father, mother, are they father and daughter are small traders, can they still buy/murder? ”
Mu Yan was suspicious in his heart, Dongxu is far away from the school palace card, how can this person who is watching the excitement recognize the old woman at a glance? He folded his feet and followed the sound to look into the crowd, but the man shrank his neck after shouting, and Mu Yan didn't have time to find the man.
He also said that Mrs. Wu was a person who had no idea in her heart, and she was forced by her son to come here to make trouble, so she may not be willing, carrying a stomach full of bitterness and pouches, and was said by the little girl Shuhui, she forgot about the business and grabbed her white, or the person who was arranged by Hu Duan to fan the wind reminded her, and Mrs. Wu was "enlightened" again, and continued to cry and grab the ground.
"The eldest son of the old widow, was not killed by the adulterer and adulteress, and now the adulterer is still on the run without punishment, the adulteress was originally locked up in prison, how do you know that the adulteress Jiang is not only an adulterer of the Jiao family, but also secretly commits adultery with Hua Xiucai, who lives not far from my house, that Hua Xiucai in order to help the Jiang family get rid of the crime, even complained to the yamen, wronged my youngest son is the murderer, and asked my youngest son to pay for the adulteress's crime, yesterday my only grandson Kang Ge'er, also accidentally fell in the Yangcheng River and drowned, After the eldest son is dead, if my younger son is also framed by an adulterer and adulteress and loses his life, how can I, the old woman, live? ”
At this time, Wu Lao Niang seriously thought that Wu Xiaolang was drowned in the Yangcheng River and couldn't even find the bones, but she couldn't figure out whether it was an accident or being poisoned by Wu Ergui, but no matter how her grandson died, it was certain that her life would not be guaranteed.
After scolding the Zhang family in his heart, he scolded the Jiang family - the Zhang family is the bane, and the second gui was annoyed and killed Dagui because she fanned the flames; Jiang's is also at fault, she should keep her husband's siblings, settle the matter, and she wants to make trouble to report to the official, she doesn't want to be listened to by Brother Kang, so she ran out while the adults didn't pay attention. If it weren't for Jiang's refusal to admit his guilt, then how could Hua Xiucai stand up for her, if it wasn't for Hua Xiucai to stand up for Jiang, how could Kang Ge'er be forced to kill by Ergui in desperation?
In short, the family is unfortunate, and it is all the daughter-in-law's fault!
Although the murder case of the Wu family last year was a sensation in Dongxu, it did not set off a heated discussion in Fenyang City, and most of the onlookers now have never heard of it, seeing that Wu Lao Niang cried pitifully, many of them had compassion and easily believed Wu Lao Niang's statement, especially those elderly old men and women, who actually followed and scolded the Jiang family who did not abide by the woman's way and murdered her husband, and Hua Xiucai was also a sven scum.
The masses are always like this, one by one, without verification, relying on chasing the wind and catching shadows to believe and slander, and still think that they are upright and kind, so they stand on the moral high ground with their heads held high, pointing fingers and scolding others for being despicable, and in the future, if they learn that the person they scolded is innocent, they may be a little sorry, and they may turn against the rumor-mongers, and most of them will use the reason of "we are also deceived" to comfort themselves, thinking that self-blame is unnecessary, and the next time, it is still the same.
It is only when you become the one who has been wronged and blamed for no reason that you can empathize with the grief and indignation of others.
In the midst of the loud discussions, another person asked: "This old lady, even though you are wronged, you have nothing to do with the father and daughter of this tea shop, why did you make trouble here?" You should go to the government to beat the drum and find your parents and officials to administer justice! ”
"There are six doors in the yatang, how bold is the old widow to break into? I also heard that Hua Xiucai had the certainty to help the adulteress get rid of the crime, and it was the eldest son of Zhao Zhizhou who listened to his slander and was determined to help him, and they would naturally believe the words of the readers, and where would they believe what I, an old widow, said! I came here to inquire that there is a great master and a teacher in the palace, so I wanted to ask the master and the teacher to give an explanation, such a treacherous person like Hua Xiucai, who commits adultery and has a husband, and helps the murderer frame innocent people, can the sage still recognize such a disciple, and the court can still tolerate such an official? ”
"Then the old lady shouldn't come here to make trouble, the school palace is still separated from my shop by a lane!" Miss Shuhui understood the ins and outs and was completely relieved.
But Mu Yan hugged his arms and rubbed his chin with one hand, looking very thoughtful.
