Chapter 46 Hearing your whispers in a dream, you want to shield me from the wind and rain
Zhu Xingde was very unhappy when he was woken up, and frowned and stared at Xiaodao: "What are you doing?"
Old Man Zuo stood under the kang with a bitter face, saying:
You ask why, can't you smell it?
Both of your brother-in-law are afraid that you will be pulled on the kang and have to take you off.
Xiaodao didn't dare to say anything else in front of her brother-in-law. Thanks to her quick slap in the mouth just now, she was blocked by her father and was not seen.
Nene explained: "Dad asked you to get up. What are you? Go and squat in the toilet. Are you having a stomachache?"
Zhu Xingde sniffed and almost choked himself.
Who did this? It was pulled in the house?
The smell is so stinking.
He seemed to have not come back to his senses from his dream.
I gasped for a few times before I woke up a little, and realized that I heard that it was done by myself.
Zhu Xingde rubbed his face with both hands, and was a little calmer than usual, and he got off the kang silently.
Shen Si was not going to the cottage at all, but just walked out mechanically.
Monshan held mugwort in his hand and walked to him and said hello: "Brother-in-law is awake. I'm not trying to wake you up, but I'm afraid you will have a stomachache. Go quickly."
Zhu Xingde did not respond.
The mountain is a little embarrassed.
Is your brother-in-law unhappy?
Until Zhu Xingde squatted in the toilet, he was still recalling the short dream in his mind.
The arm can't twist the thigh.
Because he offended Wang Laizi, Wang Laizi's girl was the concubine of the county chief clerk, which was quite worthy of the chief clerk.
No, maybe it's not that I'm very popular.
Zhu Xingde rationally analyzed: It’s too simple to deal with their mud legs.
Those who are officials say hello at will, without any trouble, can kill them, such as the old farmers with just one finger.
At the beginning of the dream, the father-in-law and Yang Manshan were in the team that were about to be taken away.
He looked at his father-in-law through the queue, and saw his mother-in-law crying at the door of the house like a ghost.
My sister-in-law Xiaomai was even more unable to get up at the Luo family in Qingliu Village.
I want Luo's mother to tell her brother-in-law where to take the exam for scholarship.
Thinking about how many months my younger brother-in-law was studying in the county academy, no matter how he was, he was better than those of them who only knew how to farm.
If we can get to know two people, ask the teacher of the Academy to find someone to say good things, we will pay the money, and we will pay the fifteen taels of silver for three years of corvee labor, and we can afford it if we sell the house and the land.
Why can others subscribe to the captive position, but the Zuo family cannot?
Luo's mother was annoyed by crying and slapped her sister-in-law in the face.
Zhu Xingde saw it so brightly in his dream and could hear it clearly. Na Luo's mother scolded:
"Since you are married, you are from the Luo family. Your husband is taking the exam outside, how can you bother him because of his parents' affairs? Do you know the severity? Is your surname Luo or Zuo? Kneel down and get out of the Luo family for me?"
My sister-in-law returned to her parents' home crying.
However, early morning when they were about to be taken away by the official, Zhu Xingde saw Luo's mother standing at the intersection of Hanshan Road, hesitating, and finally turned back to the Zuo family.
Luo's mother came to the Zuo family, and did not glance at her sister-in-law at all. She only grabbed her mother-in-law's arm and said, "When I enter the house, I'll bring you money. They won't charge you fifteen taels, but thirty taels, beg for others." She gritted her teeth and said, "It's fifty taels."
As he spoke, the little brother-in-law's mother-in-law also shed tears and said to her mother-in-law:
"Old sister, let's not talk about whether Porridge has the ability to know someone who speaks good things.
I have been offering my son a favor for more than ten years. He is now at the critical moment of taking the exam for scholarships, so I really can't be distracted.
I know that my elder brother is not good at his legs, and his body will be exhausted when he goes to the cold and painful place of labor service.
But, after all, I can't go to the city to find porridge for the exam.
I want my son to take the exam for a scholar. That was his father's instructions to me before closing his eyes. It was not just your family's business. Even if I die now, I will not delay the sending of the letter."
In the dream, Zhu Xingde saw his mother-in-law holding the silver given by Luo's mother, hurried to find the official to add money, pointing to his father-in-law in the team, and also pointing to him and the mountain.
The official official was obviously moved, but someone nearby reminded him, and the official official got back and scolded his mother-in-law for a few words.
Not only that, the mother-in-law started to make trouble, and the villagers in Youhan Village also suffered a great loss.
Some people only paid the money at the end, but they were taken away to avoid being lucky when they saw the real seal, but they refused to accept the money.
This immediately caused public outrage for the Zuo family.
The implicated villagers cursed at the door of the Zuo family.
Youhan Village is coming out and unable to hold back.
Zhu Xingde could feel his deep regret in his dreams.
He looked at the self in his dream and was so angry that he had to chop off Wang Laizi's little finger for that breath, which caused so many disasters.
He returned to the Zhu family like a ghost. He saw his grandfather with mobility falling from the kang and lying on the ground. There was no one to help in the room. His grandfather was crawling out little by little, drooling and murmuring: "Dezi."
Zhu Xingde thought these were enough to break his heart, but he didn't expect that he would pull him to the county government office with great force.
I was puzzled before, by the way, what about grandma.
It turns out that my grandma is here.
The old lady got the money from somewhere, but she quietly left home when she learned that her father-in-law was conscripted.
Because the old lady saw it, it was obvious that she was just offending someone in a confused manner, but she didn't know who she was offending. She had to tie the bell to untie it.
So my grandmother was digging a door and stealing a hole in the county and looking for someone who could speak. She wanted to ask who she had offended by bribing someone and ask for someone to ask for money. She also wanted to make peace with her. We subscribed the money, and where did we offend noble people? Our family could compensate us.
The chief clerk is a local household, and has been a chief clerk for decades, an old man.
Besides, who would take care of an old lady?
When Zhu Xingde saw that his grandmother was forced to help, he asked someone who could read and see what would happen if he complained.
It’s written outside, not everyone can go to the county government to file a complaint at will.
After listening to the explanation, my grandmother wiped her eyes with her sleeve, picked up the drumstick and started beating the drum and making trouble.
When beating the drum, it means that no matter whether there is any injustice or not, the county government immediately started to move.
But we must also follow the rules. If we are not a scholar or above, we will punish those who complain without mercy. Otherwise, everyone will come to the county government to beat the drums in the future, and the county government will not have to do anything else.
This is also the reason why ordinary people rarely cause trouble in the county government when they have something to do. Usually, the local officials and the gentry are dealt with. Because it is too expensive to really beat the drum.
Zhu Xingde felt that tears were about to come down in his dream.
He tried his best to shout, but he tried his best to shout, "Grandma, go, come home with me." He could not do anything.
I could only watch my grandmother, as the complainant, was pressed to the court without saying anything, and beat the thirty-four boards first.
During the process of beating the board, Zhu Xingde saw his enemy, the chief clerk.
The chief clerk responded through the following person and seemed to know what grandma was here for. Zhu Xingde saw the chief clerk whispering something, and then the person holding the board was whispered a few times. When the board fell down again, the grandma's crying in pain increased significantly until he slowly didn't even have the strength to cry in pain.
Thirty boards, grandma.
Zhu Xingde was so anxious that he wanted to lie up and protect him, but he still couldn't do anything.
Just as the 27th board fell, a young man suddenly came to the county government gate, with only one follower behind him. The entourage shouted, "The magistrate is here, come quickly and kneel down to greet him."
Show the card.
The new magistrate, it happened to be the first to take office at this time.
As soon as I arrived, I took on a case, that is grandma Shen Xiuhua.
Grandma said dyingly, "I am the only son-in-law. He has a good life. My daughter won't survive. Please..."
Only then did the New County Magistrate realize that the nearby poor land is close to the border town and the corvee service is too heavy.
In three or two years, or even the next year, the people who were serving labor service were recruited.
In order to stabilize the local area, the previous magistrate could not have been summoned. He worked in batches for three or two years. Who would farm and pay taxes? Will the local area still be able to develop?
There is an unexplained regulation that if the people subscribe to the head of the person, they would give up five taels a year and three years of corvee labor as fifteen taels of subscribed silver. Local officials sent a letter to the south to look for hungry and cold families, and let the laborers who had no land to plant come here to serve the corvee labor for the local people.
