Chapter 154: Golden Autumn Digging for Silver
Mao didn't lie, she couldn't do it, because in her eyes, this was really not a big deal. The eldest daughter-in-law's money is the eldest son's money, and the eldest son's money is equal to her money, and she leads people to get her own money, is there a problem? There is no problem at all, why do these officials and gentlemen have to embarrass her three boys! It's too bad, it's really too bad!
Mei Laosuo pulled Mao's hand in the dark, signaling her not to talk about it anymore, didn't he see Yan Yuanwai and the gentlemen's faces black like the bottom of the pot, he was really remorseful in his heart, usually he didn't want to quarrel with Mao, she was talking nonsense, I didn't expect that this lady was not sober-minded, and when she arrived at the officials and gentlemen, she was still full of crooked reasoning, didn't this make others look down on Mei Qu even more!
However, this effort is not to argue with Mao, it is the most important thing to keep Mei Qu, Mei Laosu is stupid and can't speak, and he is afraid that saying too much will annoy others, so he only kowtows desperately.
Mr. Zeng grabbed Mei Laosuo and said that he didn't want him to go down again, there were already blood stains on the stone slabs on the ground floor, and if he went down again, he would die if he snorted. Besides, Mei Laosuo is older than them, and they can't accept this.
"Sir." Mei Laosuo was anxious, his cloudy eyes were full of tears, and he didn't care about anything, and said: "I know that you are embarrassed, please forgive this child once!" It's not easy for our dealer to provide a scholar...... The family is looking forward to his success! He is still a child who doesn't understand things, he goes the wrong way, he does the wrong thing, and complains that our old couple didn't discipline him well...... This kid was anxious about his autumn exams, and he was in a hurry...... The strength went into the crooked ......"
As he spoke, Mei Laosu cried, broke free from Mr. Zeng's palm, and began to kowtow again.
Yan Yuanwai sighed, and finally opened his mouth to speak: "Stop first!" Old man, you love your son very much, we can understand, pity the heart of the parents at the bottom of the world! ”
Therefore, when Mei Laosuo pleaded, he opened his mouth, because Yan Yuanwai saw that Mao was a domineering and unreasonable, self-respecting type, and Mei Laosuo was still reasonable, and knew that he admitted that Mei Qu was wrong, if these two people insisted on not admitting their mistakes, then how could he also send Mei Qu to the county.
Mei Laosu stopped kowtowing, there was still blood on the door of his head, and he muttered down the corner of his eyebrows to his clothes, and looked at Yan Yuanwai with Mao, expecting him not to pursue this matter.
"If Li Niangzi and Mei Niangzi are willing to forgive Mei Qu, do not hold Mei Qu guilty, and read it for the sake of your beloved son, this matter can be settled like this." Yan Yuanwai spoke, and at the same time glanced at Sister Qiu and Jia's family.
Sister Qiu understood the eyes handed over by Yan Yuanwai, biting her lip and narrowing her eyes, she only dared to bow her head and kneel behind Mao's crying Meiqu, she was unwilling, she was really unwilling, no one could understand the anger hidden under her plain appearance. deceived the old parents, colluded with unscrupulous second-rate sons, forcibly robbed widowed sisters-in-law and nieces, one thing after another, only showed a little that Meiqu was a scumbag with no sense of responsibility and morality!
If such a person is not punished,
Just let him go so lightly, what is the fairness? If such a person becomes a ruler, it will be a disaster for the people!
However, after her anger gradually calmed down, she also realized that the Daxing Dynasty was not a society governed by law in the 21st century, and it was not a place where a reasonable child could go all over the world, and clan and filial piety were the first legal principles frankly admitted by this dynasty. The people's fear and disgust of the court can completely destroy the right and wrong of their understanding of a thing.
She and the Jia family came forward to sue Meiqu and the Mao family, and when they were sentenced, all the big guys would point fingers at them, saying, look! This is the pair of stingy and stingy children, who sent their mother-in-law and brother-in-law to prison because they couldn't give up a little money! Countless rumors and rumors will crush them and ruin their fledgling careers, and the people of Xiaohe Town may be sympathetic to them now, but after the court is over, the county order has sentenced Mao and Meiqu, and the people of Xiaohe Town are going to drive them away, and no one is happy that there are unfilial daughters-in-law and granddaughters in their villages who sue their mother-in-law.
The final result is very likely that she was angry and destroyed her own roots.
Mao's mind turned faster than anyone else's, as soon as he heard Yan Yuanwai say this, he immediately glanced at the silent Jia and Qiu sisters on the side, her eyes were vicious and fierce, if it weren't for so many people present, she just wanted to go up and bite Jia, the source of all the evils, the source of her kid's sin, was Jia's!
How big is it? Jia's stinky mothers are still making trouble here, intent on ruining her boy's future!
Suddenly, Mao threw himself at Jia's feet, and cried even louder than Fang Cai, "Boss Li, Big Milk Li!" Old woman, I'll kowtow to you! You have a lot of extras, do well, let me go! I beg you! As he spoke, he was going to kowtow to Jia's head.
Jia's angry face turned black for a while, and his body swayed a few times before he barely helped Sister Qiu and Yuxiu to stand firm, where is Mao's begging her? In front of so many people, such a good singing and prostrating is obviously pinching her, threatening her, and humiliating her.
She is a daughter-in-law, where can she ask her mother-in-law to kneel down and ask her for mercy? Isn't this losing her face and breaking her life!
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Sister Qiu asked worriedly, rubbed her palms uncontrollably, and prayed that Jia's wanted to open a little, so as not to give Mao's old lady a bad breath. Jia Shi took a deep breath, wiped away the tears in his eyes, pulled Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu to the side and took half a step back, avoiding Mao's kneeling, and finally said: "I won't pursue this matter with my daughter." Mao's was overjoyed, and what came up in his heart was the joy of victory, no matter how powerful this x daughter-in-law is, she will make money again, do you still have to listen to her? Or is it bouncing in the palm of her hand? "It's just that it's conditional." Sister Qiu hurriedly added, this matter really can't be so simple, otherwise wouldn't their grievances be in vain? Isn't it true that everyone in their family can come to the door and take it by force? Mao's happy face has not yet had time to take it back
Go, when even the big quenching said: "What conditions? You X Nizi still dare to make conditions with me? You ......"
"Shut up!" Several officials and officials brushed their brushes in a stern voice, blocking Mao's unbearable scolding.
All the gentlemen present frowned and turned their heads, disgusted by Mao's vulgarity.
"What conditions? Sister Qiu, you just said it. Yan Yuanwai spoke, glancing at Sister Qiu's eyes with appreciation, if this mother and son only forgave Mei Qu, they didn't pursue anything, didn't mention any conditions, and made such a big battle and returned to the past state, he would have to mourn his misfortune and be angry with him! It was in vain that so many people supported them.
Sister Qiu smiled at Yan Yuanwai with affection, but said to Mao and Meiqu: "Milk, whether you are happy to admit it or not, Uncle made a mistake this time, and the mistake is outrageous!" We promised not to pursue it, not because we were afraid of you scolding, nor because we were afraid of you beating, but because we used to eat in a pot. This forgiveness is not endless, but only once. Yan Yuanwai, gentlemen, officials and big brothers all give a witness, if my uncle dares to make mistakes in the future, I can't forgive him again! ”
"This is natural, he can't tolerate him doing evil again!" Yan Yuan's outer chin was the first to say.
Although Mao was unconscious, he didn't dare to say anything more.
"As for ......the conditions," Sister Qiu thought for a while, and said, "Uncle and Grandma must do three things, first, Uncle wants to make amends to the gentlemen in the academy who taught you, and it is your fault that you do such a thing to make them lose face." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was surprised, and the eyes of the gentlemen in the academy who glanced at Sister Qiu's little lady changed from surprise to appreciation. Mei Qu can't make amends, plus Mei Laosu and Mao's kowtow hard, and there is another cadre here, Listening to the Wind Academy can't let Mei Qu go at this time.
No matter what era it is, people who respect teachers and teach can always be respected and supported by people. Sister Qiu's first condition has nothing to do with herself, no, no one admires.
"Okay!" Mei Qu nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Sister Qiu continued: "Second, you have to be sure, in the days to come, you must completely cut off relations with those who do not follow the right path, do not interact again, and only study in the academy seriously. ”
This time, Mao Shiduo agreed in front of Meiqu, "This is ironclad!" "In Mao's opinion, the kid is a good one, and the second point is too easy." And the third. Sister Qiu stared at Mei Qu fiercely, "Uncle must write down the beginning and end of this matter, including what he made wrong, all of them must be written down, signed by name, pressed with handprints, and after being checked by the gentlemen, they will be handed over to me to protect Zhu'er." ”
Mao doesn't know a single big character, but it doesn't mean that she is a fool, Mei Qu wrote it down and pressed a handprint, what is the difference between it and going to the county government to write a confession and draw a confession?
Sister Qiu didn't look at Mao, only looked at Mei Qu, "Uncle, I want you to write this note, not to threaten you, just to ensure that if you continue to do bad things, we will give this note to the county master, if you are my good uncle, we will treat this incident as if this incident has not happened." ”
Mei Qu raised her white face, glanced at Sister Qiu, and asked hesitantly: "If I write it, do you promise not to hand it over to the county master?" ”
"As long as you do what the first two conditions require, I promise not to show anyone. If I don't speak, I'll have five thunderbolts! Sister Qiu said solemnly, "Uncle, do you agree to this condition?" If you don't agree, let's go to the county government to ask the county master to evaluate the fairness of the county, if you agree, we will still be uncles and nephews in the future, and my mother and I will also send you a tael of silver to the county for the exam. ”
In this era, the big guys still believe in the poisonous oath made in broad daylight, and Sister Qiu threw out the temptation of a couple of silver coins.
No, don't say it, Meiqu is very tempted.
The matter is ironclad here, and Mei Qu is clear that if the Jia family insists on going to the county court, what will be the result. The only way to be exempt from sin is to ask for forgiveness from the Jia family, and Sister Duduqiu put forward such a tricky condition, and no one objected to the reactions of the people around her.
Written, there is nothing to do by himself, but if he writes, it is equivalent to leaving a big handle in the hands of this little girl, and she will be in her hands for the rest of her life.
Mei Qu was very conflicted in her heart, as if she was a hungry river fish that was about to die, and she saw the fragrant river bait in front of her face, but she was afraid that after eating it, she would fish it out of the water and bury herself in the pot, and hot sweat broke out on her anxious face, and Mao's heart ached.
"Sister Qiu......" Mei Quyu said with a smile, "What kind of person I am, do you still not know?" In the future, I will definitely study hard, and I will never make anything happen again, can this note be ......?"
"No, you can't!" Sister Qiu said categorically, "Uncle, I just want you to write a note, what are you afraid of?" Uncle, you can still read and test the name of the subject backwards, and in the future, the uncle will be an official in the exam, and we still hope that the uncle will take care of it, how can it be taken out to hinder the uncle's eyes, even if the uncle fails the exam, there is no harm to us, and we will not take it out and make it difficult for the uncle. How? Could it be that Uncle doesn't dare to write? Don't have confidence in yourself, afraid that you won't be able to meet those two conditions? ”
Mei Qu gritted his teeth, there were all the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty tastes in his mouth, and looked at Sister Qiu angrily, he had always been wrong, and his fault was to underestimate this seemingly insignificant niece!
After sweeping around the people, all of them were waiting for his reply with a straight face, Mei Qu clenched his fists and said, "I write!" ”
In less than a moment, the officials sent the four treasures of the study, and Mei Qu sat on the ground, wrote down the "confession", and finally signed it, pressing the bright red finger print.
After the ink on the paper dried, Sister Qiu first asked the gentlemen Zeng of the academy to take a look, and after they confirmed that it was correct, Lin Zhun took the paper and read it to her and Jia Shi and others. In fact, she recognized the words on it, but it was not good for her to show her literacy in front of everyone.
Mei Qu is quite honest, and basically wrote the beginning and end of the matter, including how he discussed with Zhang Qian and others about robbing the widow's sister-in-law's property.
Sister Qiu was very satisfied, but she didn't show it on her face, so she folded the paper carefully.
Put it on your own chest, this piece of paper is not only a sharp weapon to control Meiqu, but also a sharp weapon to clamp Mao's, but if Mao's can think about the boys, he will no longer come to look for their troubles without long eyes!
Mr. Zeng looked at Mei Qu who was still sitting on the ground and sighed, he really didn't want this misbehaving student, he really looked at his father and kowtowed very pitifully, and Mei Qu was going to take the exam in the autumn, and he was lucky to pass the exam, and he was no longer allowed to study in the academy if he couldn't pass the exam.
