Chapter VIII Clarification

The king got up to say goodbye, Qian Xiancheng bent down to give a salute, and sent it to the gate sincerely, and the lively villagers on all sides looked at all this with envy.

"Big lordβ€”β€”, big lord, Xiaomin asks for one thing, if the wolf hero is not filial, should he be commended?" Old Jiao twisted his fat body, supported by Jiao, stumbled over, and stopped in front of the king's book.

The sky had already darkened, and Wen Jin still saw that the second uncle's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his wrinkled forehead.

The face of the king is particularly ugly, if he really commends an unfilial person, not only will his face be gloomy, but the people of the entire county government will be unlucky.

Lao Jiao's eyes swept over, and she was secretly proud in her heart, she was still trying to clean up Wen Jin in the past two days, but she hadn't found a suitable way, she didn't expect God to have eyes, she would come whatever she wanted, not only were there many people today, but also officials were present, this time, she would definitely step that little slut into the mud, so that she would regret going against herself for the rest of her life.

Lao Jiao didn't look at the face of the king master, lowered his head and said to himself: "I, an old cold leg, want a wolf skin to make a mattress, Qian Wenjin said that he wouldn't give anything, you say, is she unfilial?" ”

Needless to say? Master Wang's lips pursed, feeling that he was embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house today. But at this time, the crowd of onlookers around didn't make a sound at all, they were all listening to what he said.

Wen Jin also understands that she is obviously reasonable, but she violates the filial piety in the thoughts of the locals, most of the residents in the town are uneducated and have little knowledge, of course, I hope that the official of the Wang Zhushu will give a correct answer, she will not want to raise her head in this life if she doesn't rise up to resist today.

Ignoring Wen Han's obstruction, Wen Jin squeezed in front of the king's bookkeeper: "Lord Wang, today I want to ask this question of filial piety, is it only the old man's life to obey, that is, filial piety?" ”

Master Wang glared at her angrily, feeling that the answer to this question was clear and unquestionable.

The people around them all discussed: "I heard that this Qian Wenjin is quite unfilial, but today it seems that this is the case, and she has not been wronged." ”

Qian Xiancheng finally couldn't help but raise his hand, if he didn't teach this kid who didn't know the height of the sky today, he would be sorry for his brother's spirit in the sky.

When Wen Jin saw the second uncle coming over with a black face, she knew that something was wrong, and she preemptively said: "Second uncle, come on, what are the three unfilial pieties?" ”

Qian Xiancheng's lips trembled with anger, and he said in his heart, aren't you ashamed enough?

"Second uncle, you first taught Wen Jin what the three unfilial pieties are today, and in the future, Wen Jin should regard it as a golden rule and never disobey it." Wen Jin was also anxious, if the second uncle beat herself indiscriminately, it would be too wronged, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't remember what those ancient sayings said, so she could only beg the second uncle to speak first and then act.

"Brother, uncle doesn't know, do you know? What exactly are the three unfilial pieties? In Wen Jin's tone, he couldn't hide his anxious emotions, but he didn't want to, and a casual sentence forced Qian Xiancheng out.

Wen Han was about to speak, but the second uncle spoke first, he was a person who wanted to save face, how could he admit that he couldn't remember the good words in the book in front of the big guy?

"Yu Li has three things for unfilial people: it is said that Ah Yi is obedient, trapped in unrighteousness, and unfilial piety is ......" Qian Xiancheng recited a sentence, and he couldn't continue, but everyone couldn't understand the crepe words, and they were still looking at each other.

"Brother, what do you mean by what the second uncle said?" Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief and took advantage of the situation.

Wen Han was in front of everyone, and the current atmosphere was very tense, he was a little confused, and replied in a daze: "What Daddy said just now means is to blindly obey, and to see that the elders are at fault and do not persuade them, so that they fall into injustice, this is the first kind of unfilial piety. ”

"Brother, is this what my uncle said, or is this the word of a saint?"

"It's the words of a saint." Wen Han really read a lot, I saw him memorize the text, his demeanor was no longer panicked, and he exuded a sense of confidence and calmness all over his body, and the people around him who watched the excitement subconsciously had an inexplicable trust in him.

"Lord Bookkeeper, did you see that? This is my aunt and uncle, who lives in a big tiled house, covered in silk and satin, and has white rice and white flour every day, and is white and fat. And on our side, the broken house is leaking on all sides, seeing that the cold winter is coming, there is no sheltering clothes on the body, there is no cold quilt in the house, the second uncle and the family, get up early and rush to the mountains to harvest in the dark, only hope to eat the clothes on the body, the two wolf skins, should the old man be honored? Or is it sold and asked someone to repair the house slightly? Could it be that when winter comes, our family dies of hunger, and people condemn our uncle and grandmother for not being content, is that filial piety? ”

Master Wang heard the clue and finally came to life, he pointed to Lao Jiao's family: "Since you are a family, why is the gap between the rich and the poor so big?" ”

"We are separated, two children in the second room, and we will be so poor if we don't have to give birth." Old Jiao quibbled.

"Since the family is separated, when you want a wolf's skin, can you pay it?"

"The child of the second room family, I worked hard to raise it, took a wolf skin, and asked me to pay for it, woo, why am I so miserable?" Old Jiao burst into tears.

"The king's book, this set of yards, this is my grandfather's reward for saving the lord in the Wang family in Pinglin County, he agreed to divide the family property into two in order to repay the kindness of his uncle's parenting, when he was alive, the Wang family sent all the rice, flour, oil and grain every year, my father and brothers, not raised by my uncle and grandmother at all, but instead, she ate my grandfather's grace all her life."

Wen Jin rubbed the little memory left by the owner, and added the side tapping, and finally gathered this material, her small mouth was fast and sharp, and her throat was crisp, and she said it in one breath, Rao is old Jiao was crying on the side, constantly disturbing, or let the king master hear it clearly.

"Although the family has long been separated, my uncle and grandmother have always been in charge, no matter what income there is in the family's fields, including my uncle and father's income, it has gone into her cash cabinet, and my father and uncle, who have taken money from her, have been recorded in the account books, and in a few years, I owe my uncle and grandmother forty taels of silver, and she put half of the yard as a price, so that my father and my second uncle can pay off their debts, my father is not at home, and the second uncle has to move out of the yard, and he can't sleep on the streets, right? The second uncle really had no choice, so he had to invite someone to live in the original garden, built these grass houses to live, and now, she is still doing the same trick, no matter what we have here, she has been occupied by her, the days are getting poorer and poorer, her family is not producing, but it is good to eat and drink, idle, our family, hard work, but lack of clothes and clothing and poverty, Lord Wang, you comment on this reason today, I Qian Wenjin just did not give the wolf skin to my uncle and grandmother for free, is it unfilial? ”

Wang Zhushu was already filled with righteous indignation by Wen Jin's words, and he pointed at Lao Jiao's family: "You are a good woman, relying on the old and selling the old, embezzling your nephew's property, and slandering your nephew's innocence, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Uncle Qian Xiangui heard that the situation outside was not right at home, so he hurriedly ran out, and asked his wife to help his stepmother go back with a look in his eyes, and at the same time bowed and pleaded with the king: "My lord, my lord, please stop being angry, please stop being angry." The old lady is a village woman, ignorant and ignorant, not worthy of your anger! He rolled his eyes, "Lord Wang, the old is younger than the younger, the old lady is also angry with the little nephew, so she is so nonsense, turn around, I will definitely persuade her, please don't be angry." Saying that, Qian Xiangui took the opportunity of begging and quietly stuffed a piece of silver into the hand of the king master, although it was only a small piece, the king also felt satisfied, this poor and remote area, there are still people who know how to be filial, not bad.

As soon as Qian Xiangui stirred up like this, Wen Jin's wisdom turned into nonsense.

Wang Zhushu is not the county master who decides the case, there is no need to cause these troubles, today he can deliver the prizes and plaques smoothly, his task has been completed, seeing that it is not early, he has to go back quickly, he stuffed the silver into his sleeve without a trace, and waved his hand: "Your family's affairs, sit down and discuss, the next official should go back." Almost imperceptibly, he nodded to Qian Xiangui, got into the sedan chair and walked away.

Qian Xiangui bowed down to see off the guests, and when he couldn't see it, he straightened up and snorted at his brother: "Some little things, everyone knows about it, and it's not a shame?" With that, he left.

Qian Xiancheng was clumsy, and it took him a long time to react, is he making trouble with the co-author? But the shadow of the other family was gone, so he had to swallow a mouthful of saliva and walk back stupidly.

Qian Xiangui suppressed his brother in momentum, but he couldn't block everyone's mouth, and in the next few days, the affairs of the Qian family became a topic of discussion in Lin Jin Town, and there were many praises for Wen Jin, but it was not for nothing that she hated.

Lin Jin's people have always thought that filial piety is to obey the elders unconditionally, and now, after listening to Wen Jin's words, they know that the elders are wrong, if they don't point it out, they still blindly obey, it is also a kind of unfilial piety. "Wen Jin is so wronged, the words of the sage were recited by his uncle, the annotation was said by Wen Han, and the last black cauldron was carried by her.

Without the wolf, Xigang was soon picked up, and on this day, after going around the mountain for half a day, almost nothing, the three of them had to return wilted.

"Tomorrow, let's also follow Da Shanbo to the back mountain." Wen Jin proposed.

"No, there are not only wolves in the back mountains, but also bears and wild boars, which are too dangerous." The second uncle firmly disagreed.

"Then you can't sit back and eat empty, right?" Although the county magistrate rewarded some grain, which can be eaten until next spring, but it was the time when the green and yellow were not harvested, and it was the most embarrassing time, how did the life live?

The second uncle stopped talking, he also knew his ability, a while ago he worked hard to copy books for half a month, but he was falsely accused of breaking the inkstone, he knew that it was the hands and feet of Wang Ju's housekeeper, but he was clumsy, there was no evidence, and in the end he had to give up, and he didn't get a penny. Everyone bullied him, Qian Xiancheng thought indignantly.

Seeing that he couldn't convince the second uncle for a while, Wen Jin temporarily stopped the topic and walked back.

"Dad, I think, let's go with Dashan Bo for a few days, I heard that the fruits in the back mountain ripen later than in the front mountain, and now is the time to pick, when it was dark yesterday, Wang Jishan was still crowded with people selling mountain goods, just us, there is no profit."

The second uncle glared at his son fiercely. Wen Han didn't dare to talk back, but he didn't look scared like before, Qian Xiancheng glared at Wen Jin's back again, blaming this nephew, so that everyone in the town had changed.

Walking to the entrance of the town, Wen Jin said again: "Second uncle, whether you go tomorrow or not, I am determined, my serious illness this year has made you owe a lot of money, you don't collect debts, I don't want to pay my debts." ”
