Chapter 21 Jiangnan Embroidery (I)
Feng Xian Ling held his head high, completely different from what he had just seen in front of Lin Daiyu, and sneered: "Since you confessed, you two pretended to have a car crash and innocently blackmailed others, which is really a scoundrel, but there is no great evil in the two of them, and they are still young, and they can't bear to ruin the future of the two of you, so they didn't try the case in the lobby and save you a little face." Hmph, this official now sentences each of you to a heavy 80-day slab, and orders you to think about it at home behind closed doors for three months. ”
Lin Daiyu laughed secretly when she heard this, she wanted to see how the execution was carried out in ancient times, but this county magistrate actually found such a high-sounding reason, it was really a shame that he could think of it.
Under the order of the county, the official messenger who had been prepared for a long time had already moved two special benches, and the thick bamboo boards that had been prepared long ago, pressed the two on the stool without saying anything, and then another official stepped forward and pulled off the pants of the two, and suddenly the two white ****** were exposed.
Zijuan and Snow Goose involuntarily lowered their heads, too ashamed to look at them anymore, but Lin Daiyu was very interested, and said secretly: "It turns out that the ancient spanking really took off the pants and beat it." Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but look at the bamboo board in the official's hand - about half an inch thick, more than three feet long, and less than two inches wide, not like the wooden stick with the thickness of the arm seen on TV before.
In fact, she didn't know that wooden sticks were often used in the lobby, which was a killing stick, and for those who were confirmed for the most heinous crimes, as well as those who were good at torture, it was naturally not as simple as a bamboo board. Now since the county magistrate doesn't want the lives of these two people, of course he won't beat them with wooden sticks, eighty wooden sticks, even if he doesn't beat people to death, I'm afraid that he will have to be disabled.
Two more officials took the wooden cork and stuffed it in the mouths of Zhu Xing and Gou Chang, afraid that when the execution was carried out, the two of them shouted or bit their tongues. After everything was ready, the four officials stood on both sides of Zhu Xing and Gou Chang, and the four bamboo planks hit the two white ****** hard.
"Papapa......" The bamboo board fell on the buttocks, making a crisp sound, and both of them were stuffed with wooden plugs in their mouths, so naturally they couldn't scream, only the nose made a humming sound, and at the same time writhing their hips and swaying from side to side, trying to avoid the board in the hands of the official.
After the eighty boards were played, the two ****** were naturally red and swollen, and the blood was dripping, and another official sent the two of them down, Lin Daiyu thought about it and asked, "What about the old woman?" Have you asked? ”
"Nope! Waiting for the girl to ask! Feng Xian Ling said with a flattering smile.
"Oh, then you have her brought here!" Daiyu smiled indifferently.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Feng Xian Ling agreed one after another, and soon, yesterday's old woman was brought into the garden, Daiyu was still sitting behind the screen, playing with a handkerchief in her hand, and asked softly: "What is your name." ”
"Miss Hui...... Little Women...... The husband's surname is Zhu, and his mother's surname is Gou. "Gou was taken to prison yesterday, so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep all night, and now he was suddenly arraigned, and he was extremely frightened.
"Are you really that Zhu Xing's mother?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously, if she was really Zhu Xing's mother, she really deserved to die, even if her son did such a thing, not only did not dissuade her, but helped her.
"Yes...... Yes! Gou fell to her knees and trembled, even worse than her son, visibly timid.
Lin Daiyu shook her head, her mother was so defeated, it was really good, and she immediately said: "Since you are Zhu Xing's mother, he did such a despicable and obscene thing, not only did you not dissuade him, but helped him, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
Na Gou was frightened by her, and was immediately frightened, knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "Miss is gracious, it's all the little woman's fault, if you want to beat or kill, please Miss punish the little woman alone." ”
Lin Daiyu was stunned, originally she saw that the old woman was extremely timid through the translucent screen, but once her son was involved, she actually took all the blame on herself, and it was really not an ordinary protection.
"Be bold and bold in your mouth, dare to be hard-mouthed, come to someone, give me a finger, and ask questions." Feng Xian Ling said angrily.
"My lord's life......" As soon as Gou heard that he was going to raise his fingers, he was immediately frightened, lying on the ground and kowtowing, crying with tears and snot, "The little woman's family relies on the little woman to embroider for others, and the adults want to beat it, but you can't hurt the little woman's fingers......"
Behind the screen, Zijuan really couldn't stand it, and was about to speak, but saw Daiyu covering her mouth with a handkerchief and laughing, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What is the girl laughing at?" ”
"This old woman is fun enough." Lin Daiyu said in a low voice, seeing that two errand servants came in to pull the Gou clan, she immediately hurriedly said: "Lord Feng and slow down the punishment, let me ask her a few words." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Feng Xian Ling was busy changing his face and flattering again and again.
"Gou Shi, let me ask you!" Daiyu sneered, "You said, your family's life is all on your hands, so your hands must not be hurt, right?" ”
"Yes, yes...... Please also ask the young lady to be merciful, the little woman knows that she has offended the young lady, and please ask the young lady to beat the little woman's board. Gou kowtowed.
"Oh?" Lin Daiyu couldn't help but laugh secretly, but asked in her mouth, "You should know that the board of the yamen is not easy to bear, then you have to go naked, you are a woman, how can you hit the board, I think it is better to use your fingers." If you really hurt your hand, isn't there still your son Zhu Xing? You don't have to fight all the crimes for him, in this case, if you hurt your hand, it is only right for him to raise you. ”
When Gou heard Lin Daiyu's words, he immediately collapsed on the ground softly, and cried with tears and snot: "I'm there ...... Since I was a child, I only knew how to eat and be lazy, how did I know the hardships of raising a family? Pity his father who died young, and I am a woman, and I have only such a son, I can't help but spoil a little, miss, you should be merciful, don't move your fingers, or beat the little woman's board. ”
"Listen to your tone, you seem to be sure that I won't cut off your head?" Lin Daiyu was a little surprised, this Gou family seemed to be very timid and afraid of things on the surface, but at least there was one thing she was sure of, that is, she would not really embarrass their mother and son, and sooner or later she would be released, so she insisted that she couldn't hurt her fingers, otherwise, her life would not be guaranteed, and what would she do with a pair of hands?
"We are just extorting a few silver coins, there is no big evil, and since it is a young lady's trial, naturally we will not file a case and report it to the court, naturally in the end, the big thing will be small, and the small thing will be turned into a small matter, at most, it will beat me, how can I ask for the little woman's head?" Gou kowtowed.
"Oh?" Lin Daiyu couldn't help but look at this old woman with admiration, and asked, "What did you originally do at home?" ”
"Back to Miss's words, the little woman's husband's family originally opened an embroidery workshop, but now it ......" Speaking of this, Gou only sighed.
Feng Xian Ling probably had already figured out the bottom of the Gou family, and was busy laughing: "Hui Yu girl, this Gou man died early, leaving only one son, that is, Zhu Xing, Zhu Xing is not a thing, only knows how to drink and gamble, and in a few years, he mortgaged a good embroidery workshop to others, and now Gou's embroidery is for others, barely earning a few dollars, but it is not enough for Zhu Xing to drink and gamble, so he often entangles a group of ruffians to do scoundrel and obscene things." ”
"I see, embroidery, I don't know how the craftsmanship is?" Lin Daiyu asked lazily.
"The little woman is originally from Suzhou, and she is confident that her embroidery skills are passable." Gou was busy kowtowing.
"Well, that's good, Feng County Order, you take her down first, I'll spend some tricks, if she can embroider it, I'll spare her, if she can't embroider it, then I can't blame me, and the two crimes will be punished together." Lin Daiyu sneered.
"Thank you, Miss." Gou heard the meaning of Daiyu's words as long as she could embroider the pattern she wanted, so she let her go, and was immediately overjoyed, she was originally a person from Suzhou, originally born in the hometown of embroidery, almost from the beginning of the chopsticks to learn embroidery, so many years of experience, what kind of pattern has not been seen, and I am afraid that I can't embroider?
Lin Daiyu nodded, motioned to Feng County to order someone to take Gou's out, turned around and walked into the room, Xue Yan asked puzzledly: "What pattern does the girl want to embroider, let me embroider, why do you want to find that old woman?" ”
"You?" Lin Daiyu gently pinched Xue Yan's upturned little nose, and chuckled, "You are also a Gusu girl, and the things embroidered are naturally nothing to say, but the things you embroider will be used by me, if that old woman can really embroider the patterns I want, I will sell them for money in the future, and I will have to earn some dowry for the two of you, otherwise, don't say that I am the master of the meanness of you." ”
Snow Goose and Zijuan suddenly turned red, and Zijuan smiled shyly, "The girl will make fun of us." But there was a move in my heart, could it be that the girl would go out of the cabinet in the future, and I didn't want the two of them to go with me?
Lin Daiyu said it casually, but she didn't expect Zijuan to be so careful, she took a pen and paper and began to spend it on the paper.
"Ah...... Girl, what is this, a mouse? Snow Goose's speech widened, God-rat looks like this, that old cat still has a life?
"It's so cute." Zijuan also leaned over to look at the Mickey Mouse pattern drawn by Lin Daiyu, and her eyes were about to bulge, and the mouse ...... How can it be so cute?
Immediately, Daiyu drew classic cartoon images such as QQ's penguin graphics and Donald Duck, and said with a smile: "Snow Goose, will you embroider this?" ”
Xue Yan was stunned for a moment at the image, thought for a while, and said, "Girl, it's okay to be left and right, I'll try it." ”
Lin Daiyu nodded, the embroidery must be able to be embroidered, although these cartoon patterns are cute, but compared to those butterflies wearing flowers, mandarin ducks playing in the water, peacocks don't know how much simpler, once you know how to start, you should be able to get it quickly.
