20 Reunion Feast
Zhou Baolu didn't learn that the old lady had invited Sang Xuanyue to the banquet until the family banquet was about to start. Fortunately, Sang twisted the moon and was interested, so he didn't come because he was unwell, otherwise, ......
Zhou Baolu's suppressed breath was like a beast, and the anxiety, anger, stubbornness, and madness in her eyes almost turned into substance and overflowed from her eyes.
Shen Yuyao noticed her expression, and everyone was frightened.
It was also at this time that Shen Yuyao suddenly remembered that she originally planned to ask people to inquire about what the third sister-in-law and Cousin Sang did not deal with. As a result, the third brother came back too suddenly, making her forget everything completely. No, when the banquet is dispersed later, she doesn't need the maids to inquire, and asks the third brother herself.
Shen Yuyao made up her mind and looked away.
It's horrible.
The third sister-in-law's eyes are like evil ghosts, she must be dazzled! Otherwise, how could a good lady Houmen make such a resentful look?
Zhou Baolu didn't realize that she was being noticed.
At this time, her heart fell on her husband, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
Shen Tinglan still has a childish youthfulness. But he is gentle and elegant, gentle, and has a good appearance inherited from the ancestors of Wu'an Houfu, no matter where he is, he is very eye-catching.
At this time, he was sitting beside the old lady, talking to the old lady. With a warm smile on his face, his eyes were shining. The old lady didn't know what to say, he responded with a slight chin in response, and the whole person was comfortable and clear, which made people's eyes warm for no reason.
This is her husband in this life, and she has planned the marriage with all her efforts.
Shuer, Zhou Baolu's hand clenched the handkerchief again, and the expression on his face became gloomy again, just because Shuangli served tea, Shen Tinglan not only took it with his own hands, but also smiled and said "tired", and even laughed with Shuangli, "I haven't been in the house for half a year, and my mother always says that everything is fine." Shuang carp, tell me, my mother is good to eat these days, and she is in a good mood? ”
Shuangli smiled and said, "The old lady said that good is good, even if it was bad earlier, now that the third master is back, no matter how uncomfortable the old lady is, it will disappear." ”
The old lady smiled, "You girl." ”
Shen Tinglan also laughed and teased, "Shuang carp, double carp, your mouth is more and more able to speak." ”
Shuangli smiled lightly and retreated behind the old lady in a formal manner.
It was this smile that gave Zhou Baolu a different taste in his eyes. Especially Shuang Li, who still looked at her later, is this a provocation and demonstration to her?
Zhou Baolu almost couldn't control her anger.
It was at this time that Shen Tingjun was late.
The calm and graceful Wu Anhou is the focus of everyone wherever he goes. He was tall and long, wearing a purple Dake Aya robe, with a black waist seal around his waist and white jade hanging from his waist. He stepped on his boots, wore a jade crown on his head, his jade face was solemn and cold, and his majesty was heavy and compelling.
There was a brief silence in Heyan Hall, and then with the cheerful "big brother" voices of Shen Yuyao and Shen Tinglan, it became noisy and boiling.
When the brothers met, the scene became lively.
The old lady felt sorry for her eldest son, and asked, "I came back so late, but the things in the yamen are biting my hand again?" ”
Shen Tinglan said, "Mother, don't ask the eldest brother about business." Can it be transferred to the file under the eldest brother, which does not contain a few lives? The eldest brother has to be cautious in reviewing every case, and now that he has returned home, he is afraid that he just wants to be quiet. Mother, since the eldest brother is back and everyone is together, let's have dinner quickly. To tell you the truth, I've been out for half a year, but I miss the food at home. The dishes outside are not smooth, mother, look at how much I have lost weight. ”
There are Shen Tinglan's gags, Shen Yuyao is stupid, the second lady talks and laughs, the old lady cares, and this meal is not lively.
Although there is no aunt's wife and daughter, the second master Shen Tingyi has not returned home, and Shen Tingjun is even more terrible with few words, but the flower hall is still full of voices and laughter.
Finally finished eating this reunion dinner, Rong An was a little drowsy. The little milk doll lay on the shoulder of the nurse, looking at her mother for a while, and then looking at her father.
The old lady felt sorry for her grandson, so she proposed, "Why don't you couple take the child back to the room to rest first?" The left and right have already arrived home, and it's not too late to say anything later. ”
Zhou Baolu was very moved, and raised her eyebrows to look at Shen Tinglan. Shen Tinglan shook his head at her apologetically, "Madame will take Rong An back to rest first, I have something to worry about my eldest brother." After I finish talking to my eldest brother, I will go back to my room later. ”
Zhou Baolu was unhappy, and the second lady stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go, it's late." Not only did Rong An not survive, but Rong Xin also became a chicken pecking rice. Looking at the little head, it's too sleepy. ”
The old lady hurriedly said, "Then you should go quickly, and let the maid take two more lanterns." Hold the child in your arms, don't bump my good grandchild. ”
"Mother is really, knowing that you feel sorry for your grandson, then you also feel sorry for your daughter-in-law."
The old lady made a disgusted expression, "The boss is not a big person, don't be an eyesore in front of my old man, let's go quickly." ”
When the second lady and Zhou Baolu came out of Heyan Hall, the old lady looked at the little girl sitting on the chair and dangling her legs, "If you don't go with your sisters-in-law, what are you doing here?" ”
Shen Yuyao smiled, "I'll stay here to do my filial piety." I knew that as soon as the third brother came back, I would become stinky, and I wouldn't be rare for you. Mother, you are a typical liking the new and hating the old. ”
The old lady had a lazy look on her face, but she was actually smiling in her heart.
The three in front of her were all meat that fell from her body, and seeing that they were so good, the old lady was sweeter than honey.
……
When Shen Tinglan traveled to Minzhou with his master, he heard about an unjust case. An old couple falsely accused their eldest daughter-in-law of eloping with a wild man and murdering their eldest son. For this reason, the old couple asked for patriarchal law and sunk the eldest daughter-in-law into the pond, and even a pair of children born to the eldest daughter-in-law were said by them to be adulterous children and sold directly to human teeth.
This is one of the more widely circulated versions in the market, and the other version is: the old couple had a son with a congenital disability in his left leg, and in case the son could not provide for them, and fearing that their son would have no one to take care of when they were old, they kidnapped a boy who was two years older than their own son, who was the eldest son who died tragically.
It's a pity that the second son is crippled and crooked, and he does things to his sister-in-law, and the eldest son is ruthless and separated. The couple is capable, the business is booming, and they are ready to move to the county seat. The old couple was worried that the eldest son would never return, so they had an argument with him, and after a wail, the eldest son was knocked on the back of the head and died tragically. The two deceived their daughter-in-law back, and the next day released the rumor that the daughter-in-law killed her eldest son and wanted to elope with someone, sinking the eldest daughter-in-law into the pond, selling her grandchildren, and occupying the eldest son's family business.
The latter is the truth, but it's a pity that the old couple bribed the neighbors, bribed the officials, and everyone colluded to create an unjust case for the ages.
Shen Yuyao stomped her feet angrily after hearing this, she hadn't seen much evil, and she wouldn't scold, so she could only repeat one sentence at this time, "It's too much!" ”
The old lady covered her chest and was annoyed, "The founding of the Qin Dynasty is full of Jiazi, and the court and the central government send the imperial history to inspect the state capitals every year to warn the ministers and officials not to derelict their duties, treacherous parties, greedy ink, treason, disrespect, filial piety, and unharmony...... You count, how many crimes have the officials of the Minzhou government committed? ”
Isn't that what happened?
That official has committed many crimes, and the point is that he can't control them.
He can rely on his identity to overturn the case for the couple, so that the old couple's family will be punished as they deserve.
But what about the officials who committed crimes? What else can he do with them?
He can't deal with it, but he will startle the snake. So after thinking about it, Shen Tinglan kept all the evidence and hurriedly returned to Beijing, in order to find the eldest brother to sue and let the eldest brother stand up for him.
Shen Tinglan looked at his eldest brother expectantly, and saw that Shen Tingjun was not angry or angry, and his cold face was calm and indifferent. His voice was also faint and cold, "Tomorrow, you go to the Criminal Department to find Zhao Shilang, and go to the Yushitai to find Wen Zhongcheng." ”
Shen Tinglan smiled, and his voice was a little higher, "I know the eldest brother, when this matter is resolved, my brother will invite you to have a drink." ”
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Big brother, do you want to see the evidence first, and who are the criminal officials?" ”
"Not necessarily."
He knows who is in the officialdom of Minzhou, no matter who is implicated...... There is no one in the whole of Minzhou who he can't move.
As for the evidence, if he can't even do this little thing, Saburo won't have to be out of office in the future.
