Chapter 40: A Bloody Case Caused by a Poem
Midnight......
Bai Song ran wildly under the night.
From time to time, keep an eye out for snitches.
"Broken, broken, broken! The little daughter-in-law of the family is alone in the empty house, and I am afraid that there will be a fire in the backyard again. ”
I was disturbed by Xiao Nizi just now, and I completely forgot the time, and it was late at night.
As the son-in-law of the Lin family, he doesn't stay in the house every day, and it is simply unorthodox to go out early and return late.
Today's events are known to Master Lin again, and most of them will be kicked out of the Lin family.
Bai Song was not afraid of being kicked out of the Lin family, but he was reluctant to have a little daughter-in-law.
Bai Song really likes his own Xiang'er, and besides, the high-ranking eldest lady has quietly expressed her affection, and Bai Song can't let go.
Being able to stay in the Lin Mansion is naturally convenient, and Bai Song will not leave until the last resort.
When Bai Song flew to the main gate of the Lin Mansion and was about to turn into the backyard.
I saw a delicately dressed carriage parked in front of the Lin Mansion.
Lin Xiang'er was sending someone into the carriage.
"Sister Xiang'er, it's good to recuperate and recuperate, when the young man is reviewed, you and I will get together, and at that time, we can't drink without wine."
"Sister Zheng, be careful all the way, don't rush in the middle of the night. Take care. ”
Saying goodbye simply, the carriage moved slowly, and Lin Xiang'er waved her little hand at the carriage with a smile on her face.
When he turned around, he was a little more sad.
"Xiang'er! Xiang'er ......"
Bai Song shouted quietly at the foot of the courtyard wall.
Lin Xiang'er heard it at once, followed the voice, cast her eyes, and saw Bai Song's thief looking at her, she stomped her feet angrily, and then lifted her skirt again, and trotted to Bai Song regardless of her image, with a face full of resentment: "Where have you been?" Coming back so late? ”
"Oh, today's case is known all over the city, and after a whole day of trial, isn't it time to rush back?"
"You're sorry to meet me, or see how you get into the house!"
After speaking, Lin Xiang'er turned around and let Bai Song follow behind.
When they arrived at the gate, the two night watchmen looked at Bai Song with puzzled expressions.
Lin Xiang'er coughed lightly, glanced at the two of them, and entered the courtyard gate.
Bai Song hurriedly followed, glared at the two family members, and whispered, "I didn't see anything, understand?" ”
This Bai Song is becoming more and more like the uncle of the Lin family.
"Who was the man in the carriage just now?"
Lin Xiang'er was angry and ignored this guy.
"It can't be that son, right? I warned you, if you have any more dealings with that person, I'm going to turn your face! ”
Lin Xiang'er stopped her footsteps and glared back at Bai Song: "Miss Zheng family, Zheng Liangqiu." ”
"The Zheng family? The Zheng family in Jixian County? ”
"You also know the Zheng family?"
"Who in the Zheng family doesn't know? I also know a fat boy named Zheng Xingzhi! ”
Lin Xiang'er frowned: "How do you know?" ”
"I went to see the trial today, I met it, and I made a deal with that kid."
"Deal? What is the deal? Sister Zheng waited at home for a day, just waiting for her younger brother Zheng Xingzhi, how could she meet you? ”
"That Doctor Xue spread rumors, and it happened that Zheng Xingzhi saw a person surnamed Xue in the western suburbs yesterday to buy fairy water. I asked him to testify, but the boy refused to live or die, and then I bought him for the price of a poem. The reason why he came back so late is probably the same as me, waiting for the case to be tried before leaving. ”
Lin Xiang'er became more and more puzzled: "A poem? What do you mean? What exactly did you do? ”
Thinking of meeting Zheng Xingzhi, Bai Song wanted to laugh a little: "That kid is really interesting, I think you have a talent for poetry, so I have to write a poem for him and go back to my family." I read a song casually first, but he was still not satisfied, saying that it was not suitable for his age group. ”
"Let you help him compose a poem? How can it be? ”
Bai Song was not convinced: "Xiang'er, you're not good, I'm your father-in-law, how can you not believe in your father-in-law's talent?" ”
There was no one around, Lin Xiang'er just faintly shrugged, and glanced at Bai Song again: "You also have a poetic talent?" You...... I have already read the poems before I entered the book...... Those poems...... Hey, how did you get into the eyes of the Zheng family? ”
"Humph! Listen, the first poem I gave him was-
The fine grass and breeze on the shore, the dangerous canoe at night.
The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow.
Famous articles, officials should be old and sick.
Why is Piao Piao? Heaven and earth are a sand gull. ”
Lin Xiang'er was stunned when she heard this: "This ...... Is this what you did? ”
"Xiang'er, is this shocked? The fat boy of the Zheng family was still not satisfied, saying that he was old-fashioned, and when he took it home, his father said that it was made by someone else. Ask me to change it to another song. ”
"What else have you done?"
"In order to conform to that kid's temperament, I took great pains to finally make a satisfactory song for that kid. When the boy heard this, he jumped up and down with excitement, and not only promised me to testify for the composer, but also gave me a reward or two. ......"
As he spoke, Bai Song took out a broken silver from his sleeve and stuffed it to Lin Xiang'er flatteringly.
Lin Xiang'er frowned: "What are you doing to me?" ”
"Isn't the father-in-law's money the lady's money...... In the future, the husband is responsible for making money to support the family, and the wife is responsible for being beautiful like a flower......"
Lin Xiang'er was disgusted: "No face and no skin." ”
Having said that, my heart was warmly amused by this guy's witty words, and I actually put away the two pieces of silver and carefully put them in the money bag.
"Then tell me, what kind of poem is it that makes Xiao Zheng Gongzi jump up and down?"
……
The carriage from the Lin Mansion has reached the outside of the city.
In the carriage, the eldest lady of the Zheng family grabbed the fat boy's ear and scolded: "Stinky boy, don't think that without your father, my sister can't control you!" ”
"Ouch...... Sister, if you are light, my ears are about to be ripped off! ”
"Who told you to go to the county government to make trouble!"
"Who said I went to the county office? I didn't go at all! ”
"I didn't go! How many times has my father told you not to use your power to oppress others in the name of your family, do you know what trouble it will bring to your family? ”
"Sister, let go first! We have something to say! ”
"In the future, don't think that my sister will take you out to play, what do you say to come out to find inspiration, it's all about happening everywhere! I delayed my return today, and I went back so late, don't be you, my sister and I will be trained. ”
"Oh, don't worry! When I go home today, I promise that my sister will not be reprimanded, and maybe she will be praised by my father. ”
"Stinky boy, and a poor mind, don't hide behind your sister when you are whipped by your father with a strip later."
"Sister, I'm serious! After two days of travel, my brother and I suddenly had an inspiration, wrote a small poem, and asked my sister to evaluate it. ”
"Tasting and commenting? Cluck...... You kid said come and listen to your sister, just don't make your sister laugh. ”
"Humph! Don't underestimate people! Sister is going to listen to it!
Goose, goose, goose,
Song to the sky,
white-haired floating green water,
Anthurium plucks clear waves. ”
“……”
There was a sudden silence in the carriage.
After a long time, Miss Zheng asked in astonishment, "Is this really what you wrote?" ”
"Humph! Scarewright? said that this trip was to find inspiration for poetry, and the younger brother did not lie at all. If you take this poem back to your father, will you still blame us? Maybe I'll let my sister take me out more to play in the mountains and rivers in the future! ”
……
Goose, goose, goose,
Song to the sky,
white-haired floating green water,
Anthurium plucks clear waves.
"Hiss......" Lin Xiang'er took a low breath, looking at Bai Song more and more incomprehensible, "Minimalism, extreme beauty, excellent ...... It's really like a child's work, but there is no sense of immaturity. How can you tailor a poem for someone else? How is this possible? ”
Seeing the little daughter-in-law's increasingly frightened appearance, Bai Song smiled: "Ouch, don't be in a daze." Where would I write such a poem? It's all written by someone else, but it's just a flower offering to the Buddha. ”
"Huh......" Xiang'er patted her chest, and when she heard this, her little heart was stable.
Want Bai Song to have such talent?
How can it be?
If you borrow flowers to offer Buddha, this is in line with Miss Lin's heart.
"It's late, go back to sleep."
……
From Pi County to Ji County, the car travels sixty miles.
Two hours later, the sky was shining.
In the Zheng family's mansion, the sleepy boy was fearless in the face of his father.
"Bastard thing, go out and make trouble for me everywhere! Don't teach ...... hard today"
"Wait!" Zheng Xingzhi shook his fat hand and raised his eyebrows, "Daddy, my son's trip is all about finding scenery and writing poems, but he didn't cause trouble!" ”
"Didn't get into trouble? Just ask who in this world believes! ”
The old man of the Zheng family roared angrily, and he was about to rush up and beat people. but was stopped by his wife.
"Son, quickly kneel down for your father and admit your mistake."
Zheng Xingzhi is still complacent, has poetry in his heart, and has no worries.
Miss Zheng on the side also said: "Daddy, this time it's really wrong to blame my brother, my younger brother did go out to find a scene to write a poem, and he also wrote a good poem, and I want to ask my father to comment on it." ”
"Huh?" The old man of the Zheng family was stunned for a moment, and pointed at Zheng Xingzhi, "This kid can write poetry?" What a joke! ”
"Huh! Daddy, don't be scared. ”
Zheng Xingzhi was disdainful, raised his head and roared loudly:
"Goose, goose, goose,
Song to the sky,
white-haired floating green water,
Anthurium plucks clear waves. ”
When this poem was written, even the people in the family were stunned.
Mother Liu also let go of her husband, and asked in a trembling voice: "Son, is this really what you did?" ”
"It's like a fake!"
"Sir! Our acquaintance has opened up, and if you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster! Our Zheng family has a genius! ”
The people around him also echoed and congratulated him again and again.
The fat boy with his head up, his eyes squinted, and his hands behind his back was a proud fat peacock.
The heart said that this time I was not praised by my father in the palm of my hand?
But Master Zheng was silent for a long time, and his expression became more and more gloomy.
Everyone didn't pay attention to the old man's mood changes, and only waited until the rattan in his hand jerked violently!
Syllable!
"Bastard thing! I'm going to be by you! ”
This time it came down suddenly, and the rattan was directly pumped on Zheng Xingzhi's calf, which instantly cracked the fat boy's trouser leg.
The fat boy jumped up with a "whoosh" and beat him up.
What's going on?
Isn't Daddy having a convulsion?
Without waiting for Zheng Xingzhi to react, Master Zheng had already lost the rattan, and rushed up to grab the bastard son and punched and kicked him.
Everyone was stupid, they hadn't seen their master clean up like this.
The strips are gone, and you have to get started directly, how angry do you have to be?
"Sir! Master! Why are you doing that? ”
"Daddy, even if my brother's poems are not good, they will not be ......"
"Shut up Lao Tzu! As a child of a family, the most taboo thing is to copy what others do! You kid dare to use other people's works to show off your might, if this matter spreads, my Zheng family's face will be lost by you! ”
"What? Plagiarize! The crowd was puzzled.
Master Zheng said while fighting: "Two months ago, when I was in Luoyang, I heard that there was a child surnamed Luo, who was born in a poor family, but became a poet at the age of seven, and was shocked by the local scribes. And that amazing work is this 'Song of Goose', you kid is exactly the same as others! It's not plagiarism yet! You are the son of a nobleman! Copy the poems of children from poor families, Lao Tzu will not kill you, sorry for the ancestors! ”
Now no one dares to speak.
I also secretly sighed in my heart that the son was a bastard, not to mention plagiarism, but also to copy the poems of the poor family, which is simply unforgivable!
Zheng Xingzhi finally woke up, but he was beaten to tears, and he could only wail: "The untouchables in that county hurt me!" Lao Tzu and him will never die! ”
