Chapter 302 Protecting "family" or "friends"

Grandma Luo's voice suddenly became much lower, but she still argued: "That is my wife's dowry. I'll keep it for my wife, so what's wrong?"

The general was obviously slow and continued to tease him without saying a word: "Since it comes, those who take the wife's dowry say that they keep the dowry for their daughter-in-law, but the "Wang Fa" never allowed the mother-in-law to keep the dowry for their daughter-in-law, right?

Miss Chu has good skills and is good at reading and literacy. How could she need others to manage her own money? Haha, according to Grandma Luo, can all the robbers in the world say that she is keeping the money for the owner? How can this be done in the world?

Since Grandma Luo said that she would keep the dowry for Miss Chu, let’s talk about it carefully at the official position. Miss Chu’s dowry list has passed the red contract. I still remember which dowry list is stored in the letter bag. My mother-in-law wants to go to the official position to discuss the king’s law. Just in time, we take out the red contract preserved by the official position and take a good inventory. The government will make the decision and let your wife keep her dowry by herself. How about it?”

Grandma Luo pushed Chu Suzhen and shouted at the official in anger: "My son is now a Jinshi and is a candidate in the capital. If you wait for the minor officials to bully me like this, you are not afraid that my son will become an official. Let's go back and deal with you one by one... You, look at how much trouble you, a fox charmer, have caused. Don't you want to live in the Luo family? I will turn around and ask my son to divorce you."

Chu Suzhen turned around and her eyes were bright: "Mother-in-law, you promised me - you promised your son to divorce me."

Luo Er hid behind his mother and quietly reminded: "Mom, you can't. If you divorce your wife like this, you will have to return the dowry."

Grandma Luo suddenly woke up and cursed: "Tu, bitch, I think beautifully. You can never leave my Luo family in this life. Don't think you are a member of the Luo family in your life and a ghost of the Luo family in your life. Look, the face of the Luo family today is ruined."

The slow-talking general urged repeatedly: "Grandma Luo, you just said that your son will repair me after he becomes an official. Humph, don't expect it. Haizhou City is so big, Master Xueyu has written a letter to the officials of the Ministry of Personnel in the capital. More than a hundred students in Haizhou City jointly wrote a letter to the condemnation of Miss Suzhen. The Tongzong also impeached Luo's family to "not cultivate private curtains, and the family has no virtue" - your son will never be able to become an official in this life. It is hard to say whether he can keep the Jinshi.

Let's go to the county government office together. I owe Shi Dalang a life and have been waiting for an opportunity to repay him. Just so happen, Grandma Luo, if you don't go to the county government office today, don't blame me for locking you up."

Grandma Luo jumped and cursed loudly: "When he was a private portrait of Dalang, who bullied the market, wasn't it a sin? Are you bullying my orphan and widowed mother? Is there any reason for you to bully me?"

Another general asked: "Grandma Luo, we didn't bully you - the nail you said was from the county government. Let's accompany you to the county government to testify. You just tell me how domineering the man in the county government and how to bully you. Well, by the way, I'll sort out your wife's dowry list. Isn't this a killer killer? "

Luo's mother rolled her eyes and pulled Chu Suzhen over and asked in a low voice: "Wife, isn't it really a sin to paint a portrait of Dalang privately at that time?"

Chu Suzhen gave a respectful blessing and replied: "In the past, Mr. Cai, the eldest son of the former prime minister, once painted a picture of "Listening to the piano in the West Garden". There are the current officials, including the imperial palace maids, concubines, etc.... Well, my wife has never heard of His Majesty and concubines today, and she wants to sue Mr. Cai for private portraits.

There are many pictures like Mr. Cai. "Han Xi's Night Banquet" once painted hundreds of portraits of people in the Southern Dynasty. Some people with bare chests and bald heads were not considered guilty. There are also "Pictures of Emperors of Liao Dynasty's Joy" and so on. There are hundreds of images, but none of them are guilty. If my mother-in-law doesn't believe it, can you ask the people around you?"

When he said this, Chu Suzhen confessed in his heart: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I deceived my mother-in-law. I confused the arrest portraits similar to the sea captain document with elegant portraits such as "Xiyuan Listening to the Qin Tu". I was really wrong."

This was the first time Chu Suzhen violated her usual sense of morality, but for some reason, she felt very happy.

Grandma Luo was a little dizzy. Chu Suzhen pointed the portraits of the emperor, prime minister, and the king and minister of the Liao Kingdom in one breath. Can this be fake? Is it still necessary to ask? Her face changed and laughed at the pile of generals, and said kindly: "Wife, since I believe that Lang is busy with official affairs, then we won't disturb you. Let's visit Shi Dalang again. Today is not early, so let's go back quickly... Oh, when I went out, I forgot to grab the chicken into the cage."

Chu Suzhen stood still, and Grandma Luo's face sank. She was about to curse a few words when a strange laugh came from beside her: "I'm afraid of breaking the jade bottle. I'm worried. I didn't expect that Yu'er hit the net by himself. Good luck, good luck. Don't leave. There is a stolen Huasheng in your arms. Someone has raised the news. Do you want to leave by yourself or use punishment?"

Chu Suzhen said softly: "Mother-in-law, I'm afraid I can't get out of it. The one I just said was the county chief. Since he had come forward, even if the husband came, he had to give some face, otherwise the official would not be able to explain it. Mother-in-law should go with the two generals. They have no criminal detention and are more beautiful in terms of face."

Grandma Luo whispered: "Everyone blames you and you, it depends on the trouble you caused. What are you doing in the city? Stay at home, we are at least a Jinshi house, and any minor official rushed in."

A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Suzhen's mouth. Wang Xiaochuan nodded at the strange words from afar. Wang Xiaochuan hurriedly turned around and said that he did not dare to accept this gift. He moved away from the side, and the first thing he showed was Shi Yanei, whose eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and Huanniang, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage, biting his lips.

Huan Niang did not come out alone. In addition to the black boy driving the carriage, there was also a young man with a musket on his back and a curious look... Oh, that young man didn't come out alone, with more than a dozen strong men behind him. There were also many people behind Shi Yanei, and there were several carriages - looking at this posture, these three groups of people seemed to come from all sides and met on the street by chance.

Chu Suzhen's eyes quickly flew over the faces of these people, and he closed the reactions of all parties in his eyes. At a glance, he knew that Huan Niang was fanning the flames, because only she and Shi Chuan could command Wang Xiaochuan. Shi Chuan seemed to have a violent personality, but if he took action, he would be a life-and-death situation. He was impatient with the argument - people thought that quarrel wasting time, and had the time to quarrel, and had already finished the fight.

Both sides are in a row.

One side cares about one's friends, the other side is the "parents" who have always been mean to themselves and blame themselves for doing wrong no matter what. It seems that according to the "Women's Commandment", one must maintain the face of “family”. But those friends conflict with “family” because of caring for themselves. If one scolds his friends in order to protect the power of “family” to abuse themselves, and who else is expected to seek justice?

Still thinking in my heart, Grandma Luo had already whispered: "Wife, let's talk about the dowry matter again. They are all members of the Luo family. Let's discuss it from behind closed doors. If it's a big deal, the family's scandal will be made public. It's not your wife."

He blamed me again, and Chu Suzhen showed a embarrassed look on his face... Well, at most I stood up and sat down to see the development of the situation. She replied with a difficult time: "Mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law was the one who didn't want to go out. You scolded me every day and asked me to ask Shi Dalang for profit, but she had to urge me to go out today. If Shi Dalang is here today, things might turn around, but since Shi Dalang is not here, I am not familiar with these people... Don't you always blame your daughter-in-law for showing up in public? My wife will listen to you today."

Luo Er poked his head out and said softly: "Mom, why don't you write an IOU for your sister-in-law and say you can borrow my sister-in-law's dowry and I will have no debts to me, our family will have no debts."

Luo's mother's eyes lit up: "That's it, wife, go and discuss with the two generals. Let's go to the roadside shop to make a redirect, write down the IOU, and then go to the county government with them."

Chu Suzhen choked and stared at Luo's mother with wide eyes. Luo's mother suddenly became angry: "It was all you caused trouble, so I asked you to write an IOU, but I was so unhappy. Why are your eyes so small? Do you still have to worry about your mother-in-law for this little money?"

Chu Suzhen endured it again and again, turned around and looked at the general beside her. Because of her anger, she spoke a little choked: "Can you agree to discuss it, postpone it, and let my mother-in-law do her makeup?"

The fire in Luo's mother's heart was rising. She clearly asked you to write an IOU, why did you say I want to dress up? Am I so shameless: "Daughter-in-law, I'm dressed up neatly, so it's important for you to do serious business quickly..."

The general cut off Luo's mother's words: "Miss Chu, it's not that we don't want to be sympathetic. If we meet such a foolish woman, we can't do anything about it - the Huasheng in her arms is evidence. If we ask her to leave her eyes, she will turn around and stuff Huasheng in your arms, will you accept it or not? If you accept this Huasheng, will we lose evidence?

I said to Grandma Luo, you can't delay the matter now. Either you follow us or let Captain Wang lock you up with torture instruments."

Grandma Luo twisted her body helplessly, but her feet refused to move, and she still refused to give in: "Daughter-in-law, look at the trouble you caused, how shameless the Luo family has lost? Your mother-in-law went to the office for you. How can you raise your head when you go out in the future?"

Shi Yanei looked at Chu Suzhen from afar in the crowd. The sadness in his eyes seemed to drip down. He was trembling all over, his fists were pinching, but he didn't dare to go forward. At this time, he was a man and Grandma Luo had many dirty words insulting Miss Suzhen.

Suddenly he remembered something, quickly waved to his entourage, and whispered a few instructions. The accompanying military man Liao Wuyi turned around and slipped out of the crowd.

Wang Xiaochuan was still urging: "Grandma Luo, let's go. It's rare that you went to the county today. Now, no matter whether you sue or not, no matter how Huasheng came from, our county must ask Miss Chu's dowry question today... Hehe, don't you want to share the dividends of Miss Chu's dowry shop? You also want to arrange for Luo Er to go to someone's shop to manage the business, so your partners can't ask about this dowry question.

Grandma Luo just said Wang Fa, what is Wang Fa? You will know when you arrive at the lobby of the county government. If Grandma Luo is easy to discuss, we will not mention whether the "Huasheng" was stolen. Just follow the dowry list of Miss Chu and hand over the dowry clearly, it will be over? Hehe, there are few things, Grandma Luo must not say whether it was stolen or sold... Grandma Luo, you can't just forget about this. You have found someone's door, and it's natural for them to ask for a clearance of the bill."
