Xu Zun, who has believed in the rule of law all his life, is also the same when it comes to educating his children. He must be reasonable in everything. If he makes a mistake, he will take the initiative to admit it to his children, which in turn establishes his majesty as a father.
In fact, as a father, the best way to educate is to lead by example. There is really no other trick.
Xu Zhiqian, who had made the mistake first, could only apologize to Xu Zun honestly and did not dare to pursue the matter further.
However, Xu Zhiqian and Xu Zun have very similar personalities, and they have a clear distinction between love and hate. She thinks that although this matter is my fault, Zhang Fei is definitely not a gentleman, because the first impression Zhang Fei gave her was really bad.
I have to say that the words and deeds of today's gentleman and Zhang Fei are really very different.
"Sister Qian'er!"
As soon as Xu Zhiqian came out of the hall, her personal maid Qingmei came over quickly and gasped slightly: "Sister Qian'er, I just saw the pervert coming back with a woman."
Qingmei even felt that Zhang Fei was a lewd thief. She was sober at the time and saw Zhang Fei hugging her sister Qian'er and not letting go, even in front of Xu Zun. She was really the most arrogant lewd thief she had ever seen.
"really?"
Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but frown slightly.
Qingmei nodded and said: "There is absolutely no mistake."
"It's really unreasonable to live in someone else's house and not know how to restrain yourself." Based on her impression of Zhang Fei, Xu Zhiqian immediately had a picture in her mind and asked: "Where is he now?"
“Just in the guest room.”
"Let's go! Go and have a look."
The master and servant walked quickly towards the guest room.
"etc!"
When they came to a corner in the corridor, Xu Zhiqian suddenly pulled Qingmei and looked to the left.
Qingmei followed her gaze and saw a slender man standing in front of the guest room door, it was the thief Zhang San.
"What is he doing standing outside?"
Xu Zhiqian muttered something in a low voice, which was not the same as the picture she imagined, and asked Qingmei: "Didn't you say that he brought a woman back?"
Qingmei nodded.
Xu Zhiqian said: "What about the woman?"
Qingmei shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
Suddenly, I heard a faint "squeak" sound coming from the other side, but I saw the door of the room opened, and a girl came out with a silk handkerchief on her head. She had obviously just taken a shower, and saw the girl showering in front of her.
Zhang Fei smiled sweetly, and the two of them exchanged a few words before entering the room together and closing the door immediately.
This fits the picture very well.
Qingmei hurriedly said: "Sister Qian'er, look, I was right."
Xu Zhiqian stamped her feet fiercely and said: "I really don't know why dad would make friends with such a deceitful disciple, and still look at him like that. It seems that dad learned bad things in Dengzhou."
.
Zhang Fei had no idea that he had been spied on. When he came into the house, he took a moment to look at Fang Yun in front of him. With his curved eyebrows and big eyes, he looked like the girl next door. She was pure and lovely. However, she had just been released from prison and still had a pale face.
The blood color and the bags under the eyes are also slightly purple.
"You are much better than when I first came out." Zhang Fei smiled.
Hearing this, Fang Yun was about to say something when Zhang Fei said first, "Stop apologizing. Staying in jail for a few months is better than staying in the river and feeding fish."
Fang Yun smiled awkwardly, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, "Brother Zhang, I have an unkind favor."
Zhang Fei frowned slightly, as if he guessed what she was going to say, and sighed: "The Wei brothers already left yesterday. I think it would be better not to meet again than to apologize to you."
Although the Wei brothers came to Beijing to testify, they only wanted to repay Zhang Fei. Although they may have some sympathy for Ayun now, it does not mean that they can forgive Ayun for what he did.
They didn't want to see Ayun again at all. After learning that Ayun was released from prison today, they set off back to Dengzhou yesterday. Zhang Fei also gave them ten guan of money in return.
Hearing this, Fang Yun couldn't hide the guilt in his heart. He lowered his head and whispered: "I understand."
Zhang Fei saw her face filled with guilt and asked, "If something like this happens again, will you do it again?"
Fang Yun shook his head hurriedly: "No, I won't do that anymore."
Zhang Fei said: "Why not?"
"Ah?" Fang Yun raised his head and looked at Zhang Fei with confusion.
Zhang Fei said: "Although it is said that knowing mistakes can correct them, and there is no great improvement, you must first know what you have done wrong and what you have not done wrong. Only in this way can you ensure that you will not overcorrect.
Although I don’t approve of the method you chose, nor do the laws of the country, I appreciate your courage. You only made the mistake of choosing to hurt an innocent person, not that you chose to resist. So if this happens again
You should continue to fight, but you have to think of a smarter way."
Fang Yun looked at Zhang Fei blankly.
She is not a very evil person. When she was in prison, she already regretted her mistakes and was ready to atone for her sins, and she had no complaints about it.
As a result, someone suddenly told her that she was not completely wrong, which made her unable to turn around.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "The main reason why I helped Wei Ada in the first place was that I hoped to make up for the harm you caused him, so that you could be released from prison in the future, don't bear too many burdens, and continue to be yourself.
.
If you become a cowardly, timid, and resigned woman because of this, maybe I will harm you by doing this."
In fact, when he was studying this case, he admired Ayun very much, because in this era, women who dare to fight are really rare and extraordinary!
For example, his idol Li Qingzhao not only got married for the second time, but also sued her second husband to the government.
This is unimaginable now!
Fang Yun frowned: "But by doing this, I have harmed many people."
Zhang Fei said: "Didn't I say that you just chose the wrong method, but you chose to protect yourself. This is not wrong, but rather worthy of praise.
If you encounter any difficulties again in the future and don't know how to deal with them, you can come to me and I will definitely help you."
Fang Yun couldn't help but look moved, and asked blankly: "Brother Zhang, why are you so nice to me? You have already saved my life and you no longer owe me anything."
"because!"
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and said: "Maybe I told you the reason, but you don't understand. You didn't save my life, but you gave me a life."
As expected, Fang Yun didn't understand very well.
Is there a difference between the two?
Zhang Fei didn't know how to explain it, so he just said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you don't mind, you can treat me as your relative. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will help you."
Fang Yun suddenly burst into tears. Her parents left one after another, and everything her uncle did to her made her long for a relative who could protect her.
Zhang Fei asked: "Aren't you willing?"
In fact, in his heart, he already regarded Ayun as his only relative here.
"No, I do! I do!"
Fang Yun nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Zhang Fei, and shouted softly: "Third brother."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said, "But you have to leave here immediately and go home to continue to honor your mother."
Fang Yun has been set up by the imperial court as a persona, and this persona must be carried out perfectly. If Fang Yun is not in a hurry to go back, it will arouse many doubts.
Fang Yun nodded and asked anxiously: "Third brother, will you go back with me?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I still have to stay here to thank my benefactor for his help."
A flash of disappointment flashed in Fang Yun's eyes.
The relatives we had just met were now separated again in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Fei said: "Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you when you go back this time, including your clan uncles. I will also give you fifteen more coins. Then you can stay at home and observe filial piety for your mother. Wait.
After you have observed your filial piety, you can come to Bianjing to find me."
Fang Yun said hurriedly: "I can't ask for your money anymore, you have already helped me a lot."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "If you really regard me as your relative, don't say such unreasonable words."
.
"It turns out that the woman Zhang San brought back was Ayun who had just been released from prison."
Xu Zhiqian said thoughtfully.
Uncle Rong in front of her nodded and said, "Yes."
Xu Zhiqian's expression softened slightly. Although she had been locked in the room, she was still very clear about what was happening outside. She immediately asked: "This Zhang San didn't hesitate to come to Bianjing to litigate this lawsuit. Is it really just
In order to repay the kindness of saving my life?"
Rong Bo said: "It is said to be so, but I don't know much about it."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Go and do your work first."
"I'll take my leave, villain."
"Wait a minute!"
Xu Zhiqian called Uncle Rong again and said: "You have to pay more attention to that Zhang San. If he wants to bring some unscrupulous people to the house, you have to stop him immediately. I don't want my father's reputation to be ruined here."
In the hands of his disciples."
"Yes, I have remembered it."
.
Over there, Zhang Fei seemed to have forgotten Miss Xu. In fact, his impression of Xu Zhiqian was not very good. He had been staying with Fang Yun these two days to help her adjust her mentality.
Because for Fang Yun, his inner torture is far worse than his physical torture.
Two days later, Fang Yun left for Dengzhou.
It just so happened that Xu Zun was in a hurry to return to Beijing to resume his duties. He still had some things left in Dengzhou and had to send someone to pick them up. By the way, he escorted Ayun back.
But what is unexpected is that the court specially sent someone to escort Fang Yun. Now she is no longer an ordinary criminal. If something happens to her on the road, this problem will really be big or small. After all, Fang Yun now has
The BUFF of a dutiful daughter.
This was very important in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Fei was very relieved that Fang Yun would go back alone, because he knew that no one would dare to provoke her.
Eastern suburbs.
Seeing Fang Yun who had gone far away, looking back again, Zhang Fei quickly waved his hand, only to see Fang Yun stopped in the distance for a while, then turned around and continued moving forward.
This time Fang Yun did not look back, and after a while, he disappeared around the corner at the foot of the mountain.
"call!"
Zhang Fei let out a long breath, and seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. He said to himself: "The only thing worth worrying about now is myself. I don't know where to go to file a lawsuit. I'll find it when I get back."
My benefactor, please inquire about the market situation and see how the people of Erbi in Bianliang do business."
"Bookstore?"
Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zun in surprise.
Xu Zun nodded and said: "Since many bookstores initially wrote pleadings on behalf of others, later the government specially granted official documents to these bookstores, allowing them to write pleadings and litigate on behalf of others."
"I still need official documents!" Zhang Fei frowned guiltily.
Xu Zun saw his guilty conscience, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes! But your situation is different. You are one of the parties to this case. I allow you to appeal, so it is not a violation of the rules."
The main difference between those who write Erbi and those who use erbi is that the former have official documents from the government and can go to court to argue with the government's permission, while the latter only write pleadings on behalf of others and cannot go to court to argue.
Zhang Fei's advantage is that he can argue in court. This official document is very important to him, so he asked again: "Is this official document easy to obtain?"
Xu Zun stroked his goatee and said, "It's easier said than done. After all, the government doesn't want lawsuits to become commonplace."
When Zhang Fei heard this, it was obvious that if he wanted to obtain a lawyer's license in the Northern Song Dynasty, he did not need to take an exam, but he had to rely on his relationship with the government. Now that he knew Xu Zun, he couldn't help but look at Xu Zun eagerly.
Of course Xu Zun understood, he hesitated a little, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone at the door say: "Sorry, my father can't help you with this."
But I saw Xu Zhiqian entering the house.
"Ms. Xu."
Zhang Fei stood up quickly.
This is the first time the two of them have met since they hugged each other that day, even though Xu's house is not very big.
Zhang Fei took a moment to look at her. She had red phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, a light green dress, and exposed her slender, snow-white jade neck. She was graceful, beautiful and dignified, but compared to the drunk Xu Zhiqian the first time, Xu Zhiqian today was less beautiful.
A bit charming and delicate, but not so approachable.
Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly and said immediately: "I'm really sorry. My father has been honest all his life and has never done anything like this for personal gain. I hope Zhang Sanlang can forgive me."
Zhang Fei's face felt a little hot and he hurriedly said: "Ms. Xu misunderstood. I was just asking my benefactor how to apply. I didn't want to rely on my benefactor to obtain this official document."
Xu Zhiqian immediately said apologetically: "It turns out I misunderstood. I'm really sorry."
"fine!"
Zhang Fei said to Xu Zundo again: "My benefactor, if there is nothing else to do, I will go back to the house first."
Xu Zun nodded awkwardly and said, "Go ahead."
After Zhang Fei left, Xu Zun immediately frowned and looked at his daughter and said, "What are you doing? It's just an official document, how can it be considered malpractice for personal gain?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "How can it not be counted? If he can apply, then he can apply. Why do you come to ask dad again?"
"How many of those Erbi people out there are!"
Xu Zun originally wanted to say that those people in Erbi almost all obtained official documents through connections, because there was no examination. In fact, many people in Erbi were assistants to the government, and most of them were even Daobi officials who had quit the yamen.
But Xu Zun felt that if he had to be more truthful, it would be regarded as malpractice for personal gain. After all, issuing this official document was not within his authority, and he had to find connections. He waved his hand and said: "That's it! That's all! Daddy won't argue with you.
.With his ability, he can still obtain approval from the government without dad’s help.”
"Yeah?"
Xu Zhiqian smiled slyly and said, "My daughter doesn't believe it. Now he has offended officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Court of Punishment. Who dares to allow it?"
Xu Zun reacted suddenly and said: "So you know."
Xu Zhiqian said: "It was precisely because my daughter knew about it that she stopped her father from helping him, because the other party would definitely use this to attack him. My father's reputation will be destroyed in one day."
Xu Zun frowned.
Not to mention, if this is really possible, Zhang Fei must be the focus of the justices at present. However, even if he is criticized for this, it is irrelevant and will not cause any damage to his career.
Because he supports Zhang Fei, or Zhang Fei supports him.
Xu Zhiqian glanced at Xu Zun and said with a smile, "Did dad have no confidence in him anymore?"
Xu Zun glanced sideways at his daughter and said with a smile: "You look down on him too much. Is this official document more difficult than the previous lawsuit? Don't worry, dad won't help him get it, but dad believes in him."
We can still get the official document."
Xu Zhiqian hummed: "As long as dad doesn't help him, it's impossible for him to get it."
