After dinner, the table was cleared, and Lin Qing'er made tea for Wang Xian.
Although I cannot praise her cooking skills, Sister Lin is an expert in the tea ceremony. Watching her use a teaspoon to transfer the scented tea from the tea lotus into the jade-white tea cup, the flower stems and tea leaves float down, just like
Like fallen flowers blown by the wind.
"The fallen flowers are in the jade cup." Wang Xian praised with a smile.
Lin Qing'er smiled sweetly at him, put a cotton handkerchief on her head, raised the small copper pot, tilted it slightly, and the hot water poured straight down from the pot and poured steadily into the cup. The scented tea in the cup followed.
Roll up and down.
"The spring tide brings rain that comes late." Wang Xian called it.
Sister Lin covered the tea cup and looked at Wang Xian narrowly, meaning, is the great poet coming again?
"Three talents transform nectar into beauty." Wang Xian said with a smile.
After a while, Sister Lin held the cup in both hands, raised the case to her eyebrows, and looked at him lovingly with her eyes.
Wang Xian reached out to take it, not forgetting to touch the back of Sister Lin's creamy hand and said with a smile: "A cup of fragrant tea for a close friend."
"Fuck you..." Sister Lin glanced at him with a charming look, and also picked up a cup. She picked up the cup holder with her left hand and brought it to her nose. With her right hand, she gently opened the lid of the cup, and a fresh and gentle fragrance of flowers accompanied it.
The clear and elegant tea fragrance is refreshing and intoxicating.
Wang Xian was also intoxicated when he looked at the beautiful lady's elegant demeanor.
"Why don't you continue?" Sister Lin asked softly.
"Good tea has always been like a beautiful woman." Wang Xian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Sister, this is your style."
"Fan'er?" Sister Lin looked at him inquiringly.
"This is the state you should be in." Wang Xian smiled slightly and said: "Buying spring with a jade pot, admiring the rain in a thatched hut. Sitting in the middle is a beautiful woman, with bamboos on the left and right. The white clouds are clearing, and the birds are chasing each other. Sleeping in the shade of the piano, there is a waterfall.
.Falling flowers are speechless, people are as pale as chrysanthemums. The age of the book, its words can be read..."
Listening to Wang Xian's slightly magnetic voice, a happy smile appeared on Sister Lin's face. It turned out that he was not lying when he said 'a close friend'...
.
After a long while, Sister Lin finally woke up from her little flirtation, glared at him angrily and amusedly, and said, "Are you just beating around the bush and saying that I am an industrious young lady?"
"You are so negative." Wang Xian smiled bitterly, "I mean, everything in the world has its own abilities. For example, a horse can travel thousands of miles a day and is valued by knights all over the world. But if you ask it to catch mice, then
It is definitely not as good as a kitten; a sword cuts iron like clay and is favored by warriors all over the world, but if you use it to chop firewood, then it is definitely not as good as an axe. Just like your sister Lin, who is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but
Why bother trying to steal the cook's job? It's the right thing to let the cook do the cooking and you make the tea."
Only then did Sister Lin realize that Wang Xian's mouth was really good at talking. He had only done it deliberately to make her angry...
"But if I don't clean the courtyard, do laundry and cook, what will I do?" Sister Lin understood what Wang Xian meant without hurting her self-esteem. Naturally, she was embarrassed to persist any longer, and couldn't help but worry: "Every chicken living here
Dogs hear each other, if I play chess, calligraphy and painting all day long, wouldn’t it make people laugh?”
"I'll find something respectable for you." Wang Xian told Lin Qing'er what Wei Zhixian said. Her eyes sparkled when she heard that, "So, next year you may be selected as a scholar!"
"Ahem, it's just Old Wei's speculation," Wang Xian said with a wry smile: "Besides, I can't take the exam too many times, otherwise even if the master wants to promote me, he will be unable to help."
"Of course!" Lin Qing'er was immediately infused with vitality. She clenched her pink fist tightly and said, "I will do my best to help you improve!"
"Haha..." Looking at her full of fighting spirit, Wang Xian felt as if he had fallen into the clutches of the devil. He laughed dryly and said: "Before we fully devote ourselves to it, should we hire a cook or buy a maid?"
kind."
"That's easy to say, but where's the money?" Lin Qing'er smiled bitterly and said, "What my mother-in-law left behind before she left, plus what you gave me, is less than five taels of silver. It is certainly enough for daily expenses, but there is no one who can't afford it."
Even a maid can't buy it."
Wang Xian is so ashamed: "You will have money after your salary is paid in a few days..."
"There is one more thing." Lin Qing'er said sternly: "I don't care about fine clothes and fine food, as long as..." She wanted to say, 'As long as we are together,' but she was too shy to say: "As long as simple meals are enough,
You must never take money you shouldn’t take. What’s wrong with living in poverty and living happily?”
Wang Xian knew that this was because Sister Lin was worried about breaking the law and getting sued, but he couldn't help but smiled bitterly in his heart. Unless he left the Yamen, how could he not make money to do evil in the world? But he still nodded solemnly and said: "I will do my best.
Have a clear conscience.”
"I understand the principle that if the water is clear, there will be no fish." Lin Qing'er whispered: "You just have to count them."
"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, took Sister Lin's little hand and said, "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. In fact, men are the same. If you find a good wife, you can live longer."
"Talking nonsense again..." Sister Lin shyly pulled out her hand: "How long has it been since I returned to the Yamen?"
"Scare. Time flies when I'm with you..." Wang Xian looked at the sky and said with a wry smile, "Then I'm leaving." After finishing the tea in the cup, he hurried back to the Yamen.
After returning, Shuai Hui told him that the marriage certificate between Chen Deye and Liu had been patched up, and someone had been specially hired to make it old. Wang Xian looked at it and found that there was no problem, so he asked him to send it to Zhu Dayu.
In the room, Erhei also began to spread rumors everywhere, saying that the reason why the Yu family did not agree with Liu's remarriage was because Liu's brother-in-law Yu Yifan had occupied his sister-in-law for a long time. Gangsters are good at making trouble over nothing, and Fuyang County is small.
Within two days, the news spread all over the city.
Even Han Jiaoyu heard about it and called Yu Xiucai to the room for questioning. Although he denied it, he was severely criticized by Han Jiaoyu.
When he came out in a daze, he was ridiculed by a group of classmates, saying, "It's not as delicious as dumplings, and it's not as fun as my sister-in-law." This made Yu Xiucai feel aggrieved and angry. Just when he was about to go home and forget it, his cousin hurried over and said,
Pangli said in a panic: "The official took the uncle away with the ticket, and the aunt told me to go back quickly."
When Yu Xiucai heard this, he couldn't care less about being angry. He quickly took leave and went back to inquire more carefully. It turned out that it was the adulterer Chen Deye who had accused his father. The government not only summoned his father for questioning, but also took Liu away with him.
.
Hearing that his family had notified him at the same time, they also went to report the news to the old man in the countryside. Yu Xiucai made up his mind and rushed to the Yamen with several brothers to support his father.
When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, Zaoli didn't stop them and let them go inside the Yimen to listen.
As soon as he entered Yimen, Yu Xiucai saw his father, Chen Deye and Liu, as well as Liu's parents kneeling under the platform. He clasped his fists towards Wei Zhixian in the hall and said: "Old parents, the father of the student is also here.
"In this case, please allow the student to kneel for him." This is a hypocritical statement, because the student can attend the official meeting without kneeling. The parents of the student are not qualified, but there is no reason for the son to stand while the father kneels.
So often the magistrate and county would say, let your father get up.
"Okay." Wei Zhixian said calmly: "Then let's kneel together."
"This..." Yu Xiucai swallowed and spat: "Students are students..."
"I know you are a student, and I also know that your name is Yu Yifan!" Wei Zhixian said coldly: "You were the scholar who made trouble last year. This county is not that forgetful."
"Students are not here to cause trouble." Yu Xiucai saw that Wei Zhixian had a dislike for him, so he quickly explained: "I just heard that my family was involved in a lawsuit, so I came over quickly to have a look..."
"You bastard!" Wei Zhixian was shocked and said: "I have not forgotten, but you have forgotten, and you have forgotten the ancestral teaching that scholars are not allowed to participate in lawsuits? Even if it is your own lawsuit, you should be represented by your family!" said Leng.
He snorted and said: "I still remember the board from last time, let's eat it together this time!"
"The students are just here to listen..." Yu Xiucai quickly defended.
"Then just shut up and stand aside," Wei Zhixian said expressionlessly, "I will summon you when I need you to reply."
"Yes..." Yu Xiucai was so disgraced that he had to retreat in embarrassment.
With a slap on the wall, Magistrate Wei got back to his point and preached: "Chen Deye, you said he is your Liu family's husband, do you have any evidence?"
"Go back to the eldest master, I have the marriage certificate signed back then as evidence." Chen Deye quickly took out a document from his arms. But the Yu family and his son were all shocked...
"Ms. Liu, is this true?" Wei Zhixian asked.
When Mrs. Liu was brought to the county government office, she was told about this matter. It related to her lifelong happiness and her unborn child, so Mrs. Liu naturally insisted that it was indeed the case. It was her parents who made the decision in the first place...
"Send it up." Wei Zhixian nodded and personally presented the document. Wei Zhixian looked at it and asked someone to call the clerk in the household. After a while, Wu Wei, who was wearing a green shirt and an official scarf on his head,
When I came to the lobby, I checked the document on the spot and said there was no problem. It was a marriage certificate issued by the county... Wu Weixin said it was issued by me personally. But this guy was also very cunning and did not tell the date when the document was issued, so that he could evade it even if something happened in the future.
Seeing that the adulterer and the adulterer suddenly became a legal couple, and his father and his wife became criminals who robbed people, Yu Xiucai was so anxious that he was sweating profusely but did not dare to speak. Fortunately, his father also realized the danger and tried his best to defend himself:
"This marriage is illegal. The girl who got married is throwing water. Mrs. Liu is already a member of my Yu family. Without my Yu family's permission, she can never get married again!"
"That's nonsense. When you marry, you obey your father, and when you remarry, you obey yourself." Chen Deye got the advice and objected loudly: "There is no provision in the Ming Law that a woman must agree to her parents-in-law if she remarries!"
"Sir, there must be something fishy about this matter..." Yu Xiucai's father said with sweat on his forehead: "I have never heard from Mrs. Liu before that she has remarried. Why did a marriage certificate suddenly appear?"
"I'm not forced by you!" Chen Deye said sadly and angrily: "I asked a matchmaker to propose marriage, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law agreed, but your Yu family blocked it. Your Yu family is a big family, and we can't afford to offend it, so we have to come out.
It was a bad idea, I didn’t serve the wine and didn’t make any announcement, I just signed the marriage certificate quietly!”
