A Timely Wife

Chengdong stared at the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and suddenly asked: "Master Qin, as a minister of the Ministry of Rites, you should know the laws of the Great Chu, otherwise how would you assist the royal family in managing the clan? In this case, I have a few questions I want to ask Qin Shilang."

Before Qin Shilang could say no, Cheng Dong had already asked: "There are twelve laws in my Great Chu, and I am old, so I can't remember which twelve. I wonder if Qin Shilang can explain it to me. ?”

Others looked at Chengdong's face that looked like he was in his twenties, and when they heard him say that he was getting older, they all had the urge to spit on his face. Your face, let alone you Your real age is only in your thirties. People will believe you if you are in your 20s just by looking at your face. We don’t know. Every time you go out, there will be a bunch of big girls and young wives following you, stuffing you with handkerchiefs and Throwing the sachet for you, you tell us now that you are old, if you are old, wouldn't we have already entered the coffin.

Qin Shilang raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and touched his head a little unaccustomed to it. His hair was very short. This was after Xiong Ruofeng's death. Chengdong first appeared in court with this short hair. He was very excited about this matter and talked non-stop. Parents who have suffered from body and skin, how can they cut off their hair at will? , He couldn't stop, actually he didn't think how he could talk like that at that time, or he had already figured it out but didn't want to control himself, and finally pissed Cheng Dong off.

Not only him, but many people still remember what Chengdong said at that time. Chengdong said that his parents are responsible for his body, hair and skin. It’s just an excuse people make for themselves. Look at those soldiers who retreated from the battlefield, some have broken arms, some have broken legs, and some are blind. According to the Minister of Rites, aren’t these people all Unfaithful and unfilial people?Yiyi, on the contrary, these people are heroes, they are the heroes of Great Chu, and they should be engraved in the history of Great Chu. Why do you people only remember a parent with a body, hair, skin and skin, but forget that the big husband died in battle? On the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, why have you forgotten that a man should stand upright and have high aspirations? Sword cold Kyushu, shrouded in horse leather, a sentence that parents dare not damage the body, hair and skin, does it mean that all of us should not go to the battlefield, because if we are not careful, we will die It will hurt here, or get it there, in order not to let myself become the unfaithful and unfilial person in your mouth, should I be like some people, full of wine and water all day long, lying drunk on the lap of a beauty, sleeping with the moon at night, Could this be loyalty and filial piety?It's ridiculous.

When the country is about to perish, if you don't think about protecting your family and country, even if your body is not destroyed, you will walk with the dead.Chengdong asked them. They often say that people are their parents. How do you protect your parents? You kept saying that the emperor is the father of the world and the queen is the mother of the world. As a result, some of you killed your father and mother, and you are not just pigs and dogs. How about saying that they are pigs and dogs is an insult to pigs and dogs. After working hard to raise pigs for a year, there are hundreds of catties of meat to eat after killing them. A dog can still guard the house. I really don’t know what to ask you Some of them can be of any use.

You people who claim to be well-versed in poetry and books should know these four words. Why do I make a will and what kind of aspiration I make? You should know better than me. No matter how long the hair is, no matter how beautiful it is. for what?Oh, forgot, it’s useful, it can be used to hide hairpins, and to assassinate the emperor. I don’t object to those who want to keep their hair, and I don’t support those who want to cut off their hair like me. Everyone has their own way. Everyone has their own ideas, I won't say anything else, anyway, the time of the court meeting will remain the same, but the inspection link will be added in the future, don't be troublesome or be late, you can do whatever you want.

Not to mention the servant of the Ministry of Rites, even the minister of the Ministry of Rites was rendered speechless by Cheng Dong's words and blushed. Only then did they truly appreciate Cheng Dong's strengths, dare to love the couple Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong They are all the type to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. They are obviously capable, but they want to hide deeply, and they don't open their mouths easily.

Cheng Dong's words were not lying to them or anything like that. From the second day onwards, security checks were really added. Two teams of guards were neatly dressed at the entrance of the political building. Everyone who entered had to be searched from the beginning. To the feet, the hair has to be untied and inspected. Some people’s hair can hang down to the heel once untied. Chengdong cut his hair short, and Li Ruosong followed suit. After he trimmed it a few times, Li Ruosong felt that short hair looked good too, especially after wearing a military uniform, it matched it better than long hair, and he looked more energetic. Li Ruosong didn't say much, just wearing a military uniform I walked around the army a few times, and soon, short hair became popular in the army.

According to the participants, the court meeting after the first security check was terrible, because few people came to the court meeting in neat clothes, and they all stood there with disheveled hair, and a few people were disheveled. It's just that they came late and didn't have time to pack themselves, so they ran in in such a hurry. The guards at the door checked very meticulously, and wished they could cut off their clothes and check them carefully.

After a few days, some people really couldn’t stand the pressure and cut their hair short just like Cheng Dong. There were also some who insisted, such as Qin Shilang from the Ministry of Rites. Qin Shilang would rather get up an hour earlier every day to get his hair done. A person who has to go to court neatly and properly, of course, his persistence does not come from the protection of tradition, but from the hope that he can use this behavior to fight against Chengdong and the others.

What he didn't expect was that Li Ruosong and Chengdong didn't react at all to his behavior. Seeing him was like not seeing him. What should they do every day? Just like what Chengdong said at the time, He will not object or support, you can do whatever you want, but the more Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong are like this, the more angry Qin Shilang is, he has always regarded himself as the elder of these people, let alone Li Ruosong In Qin Shilang's opinion, even Xiong Ruoshan should treat him politely. He is Xiong Ruofeng's uncle, that is, Xiong Ruoshan's uncle. Since he is Xiong Ruoshan's uncle, shouldn't Xiong Ruoshan Be polite to yourself, but in the end, Xiong Ruoshan ignored him, even Li Ruosong and Chengdong ignored him, which made Qin Shilang very difficult to accept.

This is why he deliberately said some vague words to others, which almost caused turmoil. Of course, after this incident, Qin Shilang didn't know whether he felt relieved after letting out a bad breath, or because he wanted to In short, he also cut his hair. After cutting his hair, he discovered that short hair has many benefits. Not to mention saving time, he looks younger. At least, the white hair is not so conspicuous. Still not used to touching it.

This is the case now, Qin Shilang stroked the hair on the back of his head, put down his hand again not used to it, and replied: "The Twelve Laws of the Great Chu, namely the Law of Names, the Law of the Guard, the Law of the Job System, and the Law of the Household Marriage law, the law of stables, the law of good fortune, the law of thieves and robbers, the law of fighting lawsuits, the law of fraud, the law of arresting death, the law of breaking prisons, and the miscellaneous laws.”

Cheng Dong nodded and said, "That's right. As expected, I am the Minister of Rites of Southern Chu. He is really familiar with the laws. Since he is so familiar, why not help Qin Shilang to answer what is written in the law of the post system."

Qin Shilang's heart tightened. When he came, he knew that Chengdong and the others didn't want to pursue him, or they didn't find him, but they were waiting for him here. , behavior and speech norms, punishment of corrupt officials, etc., one of which is about rumors and slander. Chengdong wants to let him speak out for the crimes he committed. Qin Shilang gritted his back teeth, He cursed Chengdong viciously in his heart, but replied respectfully on his face: "This, my humble minister is not talented, and I don't remember everything in detail."

Chengdong sneered, he knew that Qin Shilang would answer in this way, asking him to personally explain the various legal items in the employment system, he would absolutely refuse, but he couldn't do without answering, his grade was higher than him, even if he didn't When speaking, Li Ruosong or Xiong Ruoshan would also ask him to answer. At that time, a big disrespect cannot be escaped, so Qin Shilang can only shirk that he can't remember everything. If he doesn't remember, he can't say it.

Cheng Dong didn't expose him, and asked, "Which items Qin Shilang remembers? Why don't you tell me what you remember first."

Qin Shilang couldn't figure out what Chengdong meant. If he was forcing him, he didn't force him very much. If he was letting him go, he didn't see any intention of letting him go. However, Chengdong's questioning He still had to answer, he thought about it, picked up a few insignificant ones respectfully and said a bit.

I thought that Chengdong would lose his temper, but unexpectedly Chengdong laughed, and instead of saying anything, he praised him, Chengdong said: "That's right, that's right, I am indeed the Minister of Rites of Nanchu, and I still remember the law." It's clear."

Qin Shilang touched his chin with a smile. He originally wanted to touch his beard that he had grown for a long time, but he couldn't do it. Then he remembered that his beard had been shaved before, in order to match his short hair. It's much younger, otherwise he wouldn't have scraped it so neatly several times.

It's just that Qin Shilang was complacent for a few seconds, when Cheng Dong continued to say: "It doesn't matter if you forget, someone here remembers, come, give Qin Shilang a good recitation of what is stipulated in the job system law."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials stood up in response, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was dumbfounded.
