Yucuo of the Red Chamber

"Oh?" The Minister of Dali Temple asked first. Although everyone knows this matter well, there must be an explanation. After all, the Jia family is no better than those ordinary people who are promoted. The case is very delicate, especially Wang Xifeng, who has taken care of it everywhere; he turned his head, patted the gavel, and shouted: "The evidence in this case is solid, and it was seized from her house. How can it have nothing to do with her? If you speak cleverly and sophistry, then the crime will be aggravated, do you hear me clearly?"

Ping'er thought to himself, I've done too many things to scare people, so I'm not afraid of this trick, she turned her head, kowtowed and said: "Returning to the adults, I naturally know this, just because the facts are like this, I don't dare to hurt grandma. Please forgive me, my lord." After a pause, no one interrupted, Ping'er continued, "Grandma was only in charge of business, and I dealt with the entry and exit of the account, and everyone in the Jia family knew about it; besides, grandma was illiterate, It was Caiming who kept the accounts. At the beginning, I saw that there would always be some surplus in the accounts, and it was a pity, so I quietly moved out. Later, my grandma found out, she had already taught her a lesson, and all of them had been taken back. You adults can go and see, those house title deeds Both the ticket and the borrowed ticket have expired. It was just because I was busy at the moment and I didn't sell it. If the adults want to convict me, I will not object to it."

This is a bit new, the clerk at the side presented a few sample tickets, all of which were expired, and what Ping'er said made sense.Several chief judges discussed with each other, and the officials shouted: "Although it has been withdrawn, the crime has been done. As for the truth, another trial is needed. Wang Xifeng, what do you have to say?"

This...is the hardest part.Although the first major crime was taken down by Ping'er so lightly, and she deliberately kept the borrowing ticket at that time, she guessed that everyone outside the Jia family knew about this kind of thing, so she simply kept it; however, it was her crime after all. How could she bear to let others do it?There were tears in Sister Feng's eyes, and she didn't know how to speak for a long time.Ping'er was in front, and she waved her hand lightly to signal, meeting such a nice girl, what else can Sister Feng say?But, should she really ask Ping'er to take the blame for her?

"Since there is nothing to say, it is a serious crime for you to condone the girl to do these things. You will be imprisoned temporarily, and the trial will be held after the evidence is collected again." Dali Temple did not expect that all the borrowed tickets were expired. If this is the case, Ping'er took the initiative to admit it and Sister Feng asked her to correct it, so the matter was much easier.

At that moment, Ping'er carefully helped Sister Feng to the prison, and quietly gave her some scattered silver from Xichun, and gave some to the jailer, and asked her to help buy some medicine for Sister Feng.The jailer probably heard how fierce and violent Sister Feng used to be, but he never thought that since she was imprisoned, she has not seen how aggressive she is, and no matter how insulting and insulting everyone is, Sister Feng will ignore it.At this moment, there is such an outstanding and considerate girl, everyone is surprised, and they have to use other people's money to help others to eliminate disasters.

Sister Feng saw in her eyes that there was no outsider in the prison, so she took Ping'er's hand and wept, "It's hard for you..." Before she finished a sentence, she couldn't cry. For nothing else, just to be single-minded at this time.

After crying for a long time, Ping'er stopped the tears first, carefully wiped off Sister Feng's son, and persuaded with a smile: "I was originally grandma's girl, and my life is grandma's, so what do you say? I can serve grandma for the rest of my life. The field is also my good fortune. Don't talk about those knowledge methods, Miss Lin can also like grandma's behavior, which shows that it is good. Besides, I did do that thing, so it's okay to say Wrong, why should grandma say more."

Sister Feng stopped crying, shook her head and said, "I won't say too much, but if we can escape together, I will serve you after we get out. At least we will be sisters, and we will depend on each other from now on. Even Sister Qiao, I will tell her, Let her be filial to you too."

Ping'er shook his head and said: "Although we are masters and servants, grandma has always regarded me as my right-hand man, no different from sisters. Even those sisters who are far away and useless are not as good as us. Sister Qiao Said that she wanted to see you and the second master, but grandma and I stopped her. Now the situation is uncertain, she was finally exposed and pardoned, so why bother to come to this muddy water. Besides, it is useless to say that she came, it is better to let She stayed outside clean and tidy. I wonder what grandma means?"

Sister Feng nestled aside, endured the pain, thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's right, it's useless for her to come, it makes me and Lian Er feel distressed and worry about her. She is not too young, now I have someone to take care of you, so I don’t need to worry about it in the future. It’s just that you said that there are people sent by the emperor to take care of Miss Si and Sister Qiao, so what’s going on? Is it really because of Sister Lin?”

Ping'er looked around, came back and leaned into Sister Feng's ear and said, "The fourth girl said that her brother-in-law Lin probably got around it, but my uncle didn't tell the truth, and the fourth girl didn't dare to say it. Today's broken silver is also my uncle's money." Yes, the eldest grandma did some calculations, and the silver alone is not less than 50 taels, which shows that she is generous. These four girls are afraid that I will not be able to get out once I come, so let me deal with it carefully, so that I can serve grandma, and also when needed Don't suffer."

Sister Feng was taken aback, and weighed up the pieces of silver that Ping'er gave her, at least three or four taels. It is thoughtful, if you are careless, I will give you two ingots of silver, which will be enough for three or fifty taels, and it will definitely be inconvenient to use. Even the Temple of Hell, there is no reason to manage people there. Such a rare person , Sister Lin is very lucky."

Ping'er laughed and said: "After hearing what the fourth girl said, I just need to rest assured that that person is a living Bodhisattva. As long as we repent seriously and don't quibble and deny it, we should share it, just like this silver. It's easy to spend it. Miss Lin doesn't like to be meddlesome in the palace, so let's not embarrass her. If you agree with me and say, in the future, grandma should not respond so directly, and smash what can be broken as much as possible. We don't blame others, but whoever deserves it, and everyone should take responsibility for the benefits. Besides, isn't there a law that does not blame the public? Why should grandma be so stubborn? "

This sentence is true, repent and rehabilitate, but it is not necessary to go from one extreme to another. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not easy to do, it is better to be yourself, you should admit it, you should push it, if you can save a life , how many opportunities to repay everyone in the future.Sister Feng thought for a long time before she reluctantly agreed with Ping'er's opinion, and her heart gradually settled down.

The jailer got the silver, and he ran fast. He bought a lot of medicine, and even boiled it. He is a solid-eyed woman.Ping'er couldn't help but rewarded her with a few more coins, which was kind of mean.Why care too much about external things.

Unexpectedly, after coming and going, the old woman even made friends with Sister Feng and Ping'er, and came to talk to them when she had nothing to do. I just thought Sister Feng's enlightenment sounded very interesting.Occasionally, there are some unclear things, or interesting things from hearsay, and they are also used to ask Sister Feng and Heping.The two of them were not too annoying, they just happened to be chatting with people, and they made up their minds to climb up to be human again, so it was time to start dating the bottom people.

There are few good people in the world, but there are also few wicked people. Don't look at the woman who is very evil in controlling those noisy criminals, but there is a soft spot in her heart; just like Sister Feng, she found that this woman is actually very hard, so she has a heart. Teach her some tricks, and my heart softens. It is also a kind of affection between the two of them who are friends in need.

With the care of her mother-in-law, Ping'er gave her some small coins the next day, and the mother-in-law went to get some delicious food and medicine every day, which was cheaper both times.Sister Feng's illness is getting better with difficulty, her redness is getting less and less, and her face is also a little red.The woman took two or three taels of silver, and she did make some money, but she was sincere, and she was only thinking about saving Sister Feng.

In the next few days, Dali Temple was busy trying other cases, and they used excuses to investigate and collect evidence, so Sister Feng was able to rest for a while.In the afternoon of that day, the woman came, carrying a box of food and a can of boiled medicine in her hand.After checking around to make sure there was nothing else to do, he came to Sister Feng's prison, opened the door and went in, looked at Sister Feng while taking things out, and said, "Grandma's complexion looks much better, but Fan's heart Take it easy, it will get better."

"It's thanks to the mother's care. Otherwise, I'll be living like this." Sister Feng held Ping'er's hand and sat down on the kang. silver.

The mother-in-law hurriedly pushed Sister Feng's hand back, and said, "Don't give it to me now. I gave a lot before, and I am not dissatisfied. Grandma asked me to buy something, and I bought it along the way; I want to eat something." It’s delicious, I’ll make some extra when I’m cooking, and it won’t cost much. If money always comes and goes, you’ll be out of luck. When no one is in trouble, it’s rare that grandma understands, and in the future When there is still prosperity, I just hope that grandma will not forget me, my mother-in-law, and come to my house to eat the meal I cooked again, that will be enough."

Sister Feng asked Ping'er to forcefully stuff the money into her arms, and said with a smile: "I will give it if I have it, but the things outside of me are not too small, so I already think highly of me. If I don't have any in the future, I will ask my mother Mammy took pity on me, and gave me a meal. The food Mammy cooks is delicious, more fragrant than those made in our big kitchen, and the food is solid. If I can survive in the future, I will crawl to Mammy’s house, and I hope Mammy will not dislike me for coming to beg for food."

The old woman didn't make any excuses, she knew what she was doing, she sat down and ate with Sister Feng, but there were four home-cooked dishes, and there were no fancy dishes, and the free rice was even more insignificant compared to Jia's.But if compared with the food in the prison, it is still a lot better, and at least it is clean and cooked.
