Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Qu Siniu had been silent since he was brought into the courtroom. Now he suddenly knelt up straight and looked at Mrs. Qu silently: "Mother, you really want to let your son have a bad life, you Are you satisfied?"

Mrs. Qu's sharp cry was completely different from Qu Siniu's deep voice, so many people heard his words, and everyone's eyes were focused on his face. Seeing his sad and numb face, they couldn't help but Stop muttering.

Shocked by Qu Siniu's eyes, Mrs. Qu wiped away her tears and nose, trying to make her look righteous: "Qu Siniu, if you and the Meng family didn't honor the elders, I could sue you?"

Qu Siniu let out a miserable laugh, his eyes were red and complicated: "Mother, for the past three months, Huiniang and I have returned to my mother's house, why?"

Granny Qu's eyes flickered for a moment, she opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment and did not speak, but she looked at Qu Siniu provocatively, as if she was sure that he would not tell the reason.

Qu Siniu continued: "Carpentry can make money, but you have to work to make money. After February and March of the new year, there are few carpentry jobs. In previous years, I explained it to you and Dad. You know. "

"Also, it's impossible for Hui Niang and I to live in Meng's house for free. We should give them silver. I'll send back every copper coin left to you and Dad."

"I used to send back the money on time every month when Hui Niang and I lived at home. What did I get in return? I endured that matter. Why are you dissatisfied? I have to make a mess of things." You know, are you satisfied?"

Qu Siniu asked a few questions nonchalantly, which made the county magistrate and the onlookers outside all confused.

The old lady Meng and others who knew about it all frowned and looked at Qu Siniu with disapproval, what is this kid doing here by telling this matter.

The master frowned, and reprimanded on behalf of the magistrate: "In the court, don't hide your head and show your tail. Tell us all your grievances. Your lord will judge for himself!"

When Meng heard the words, he subconsciously looked back at his brother and son-in-law. In fact, he has not let go of this matter until now. He just refrained from talking about it. Now it broke out in the court. I don’t know that Brother Yi and Kang Sheng Does it sound uncomfortable.

If it were Liang Kangsheng and Qu Yi at this time in the previous life, they would probably feel uncomfortable. Liang Kangsheng would feel that the Qu family was against him, and the remaining grievances in Qu Yi's heart would be awakened.

But now, neither of them minded this question anymore, Liang Kangsheng pinched Qu Yi's fingers, mouthed "I'll come" to him, then walked to Qu Siniu, raised his robe and knelt down as well.

Liang Kangsheng cupped his hands and said loudly: "My lord, this matter is actually related to the students."

As a student who has not yet obtained the reputation of a scholar, Liang Kangsheng had to kneel in front of the magistrate, but he could call himself a student.

Seeing Liang Kangsheng's student's dress and demeanor, the county magistrate's frown was slightly relaxed. At least the scholar is sensible, at least he won't scold the street in public like a country woman: "Just tell me."

Seeing Liang Kangsheng open his mouth, Mrs. Qu's eyes were full of surprise. She didn't expect Liang Kangsheng to speak out by himself.

In fact, at first Mrs. Qu thought that Liang Kangsheng would definitely disdain to come to the county government office today. After all, Qu Siniu and the Meng family were his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he definitely didn't want to be involved in such a shameful problem after being brought to court.

Unexpectedly, he would accompany that little bitch Qu Yi to the county yamen, and even said it himself, thinking back to what her son and daughter said, her heart beat like a drum.

"My lord, the defendant today is the student's father-in-law. What the father-in-law said just now was caused by the student. The student has been weak since childhood. After taking the government examination last year, he suffered a serious illness. It coincided with the onset of the old disease last winter, and his health continued to deteriorate."

"The student's home runs a brewing workshop. There was a problem with the winery a few years ago. My father accidentally fell and fell unconscious when he went to check the winery. My mother thought of marrying the student in a panic."

"After my mother figured out the horoscope match between the student and my husband, I immediately came to the door to propose marriage and hold a wedding. It was a coincidence that the student woke up from a coma on the day when Fulang passed by. However, due to physical reasons, the student could only go to the door to meet him."

"The marriage was done in a hurry. At that time, the father-in-law and mother-in-law were not in the Qu family, so they didn't know about the husband's marriage."

Liang Kangsheng finished his marriage with Qu Yi in as short a sentence as possible, the magistrate frowned slightly, and now he finally understood a little bit about the entanglement of this family.

To put it bluntly, without the knowledge of the son and daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law of the Qu family married off their brother-in-law in a way that was not pleasant. He ran back to Meng's family who didn't know whether it was his family or his mother's family, which made the mother-in-law of the Qu family dissatisfied.

Judging from what they both said together, although the behavior of Qu Siniu and his wife was a little impulsive and somewhat disrespectful to their elders, they did not rise to the level of disfilial piety.

Mrs. Qu closed her eyes to build up her emotions. Just when the county magistrate was about to wait for the investigators to come back before continuing the trial, she suddenly pointed at Liang Kangsheng and scolded angrily, "What a Liang family, you are a white wolf with nothing. What a great idea!"

"No wonder my Qu family has never had a single day of peace since the old lady kindly married Qu Yi to your Liang family. It turns out that you, Liang Kangsheng, were behind the scenes!"

"Qu Siniu and the Meng family have stayed at home these years and have never had any troubles. This time they all ran to the Meng family. It must be you and the Meng family who are behind the scenes. It is the day you brought Qu Yi back to the house and killed them. Take them to the Meng family!"

"Damn! I've read all the books to the stomach of a dog, and I don't understand etiquette, justice, and shame. I think that even if you pass the government and college exams, you will be a bad guy in the future!"

"My lord, Quyi grew up eating my Qu family's rice, but he got married and went back to the Meng family. My lord, don't be fooled by their teaming up!"

Mrs. Qu talked and scolded continuously, and she spoke like a firecracker without pause, finishing all of her words before everyone could react.

In fact, Mrs. Meng was worried that Mrs. Qu would say that Quyi had moved most of the valuable dowry gifts to the Meng family, but she changed the subject and pointed at Liang Kangsheng, without mentioning the dowry gift.

Liang Kangsheng didn't expect either. He frowned and turned to look at Mrs. Qu, and found that the other party was filled with a guilty pleasure of calculating.

Reminiscent of what happened yesterday, Liang Kangsheng finally understood the purpose of Mrs. Qu's trouble in the Yamen today.

First, accuse Qu Siniu and his wife of being unfilial, no matter whether they can be successfully convicted by the county magistrate, the couple will always be more likely to be criticized if something happens to them in the future, and they will be easily manipulated by Mrs. Qu.

The second is to deliberately ruin her reputation, perhaps to avenge her refusal to go to the Qu family yesterday, to let them know that the Qu family is not easy to mess with, or maybe to make him feel dissatisfied with Qu Yi who caused this incident .

Scholars pay attention to reputation, but reputation is passed on by word of mouth. The so-called three people make a tiger. After these half-truths and half-false words are spread, I don't know what will become of them.

But once the reputation is ruined, there will be no foothold in the circle of literati in this area, and they will be rejected by others. There will be no teacher willing to teach, and there will be no friendship with classmates when taking part in scientific examinations. This will ruin the future of scholars. This is no less than the crime of being unfilial. How many.

This plan is very poisonous!

No matter how many of these two goals can be achieved in the end, it will be very bad for Qu Siniu, Meng Shi, Liang Kangsheng, and Qu Yi.

Old Madam Qu twitched her lips triumphantly and continued, "My lord, I'm not an old lady, I'm just talking nonsense. The officials and uncles will know about this matter if they just ask anyone in the village."

"It's said that scholars know the truth. The old lady saw that Liang Kangsheng clearly didn't keep the truth in the book in his heart, and instigated Qu Siniu and Meng Shi to be unfilial. A person like him is not worthy of being a scholar."

Scholars hold a very high status in the hearts of most ordinary people, second only to the adults and official servants in the yamen. Seeing Mrs. Qu scolding Liang Kangsheng, a gentle scholar, as unworthy of studying, everyone's eyes widened and they couldn't believe it.

The magistrate is not as ignorant as ordinary people, although he is just a small magistrate, but he can achieve the position of magistrate after many scientific examinations. He has met all kinds of scholars and knows that there are no scholars. On the surface, he looks so beautiful and beautiful, but he has no less utilitarian concerns in his heart than ordinary people.

Of course, the county magistrate wouldn't prejudice Liang Kangsheng just because of old lady Qu's words. He asked, "Liang Sheng, is there a half-truth in what the old lady of the Qu family said?"

Liang Kangsheng nodded and did not evade the question: "Returning to the words of the adults, the words of the student's husband, Grandma Lang, are true. On the day of returning home, the student never stepped into the door of Qu's house, and only stood in the courtyard for a while."

Listening to him admitting directly like this, it seems that he has accepted Mrs. Qu's accusation, and the surroundings are silent.

However, Liang Kangsheng's generous attitude probably satisfied the magistrate. After he admitted, the magistrate looked at him more kindly, because it was easier for people to feel that there was something wrong with hiding it.

The county magistrate loosened his brows: "Oh, then do you know that this is impolite?"

Unexpectedly, Liang Kangsheng said surprisingly: "My lord, my marriage with Fu Lang has never respected etiquette from the very beginning."

"There are no three media and six engagements. There are no six ancient ceremonies of acceptance, asking names, Najib, accepting recruitment, asking for a date, and welcoming in person. There is no legal dowry and dowry. I can force myself to lead Fulang in at the door of the house."

"Since the etiquette has not been followed before, why do you have to follow the etiquette when you return home after getting married? Dare I ask what etiquette is followed?"

"Do you have to enter the house when you come back? Or you can't go to the Meng's house? Since my father-in-law grew up eating from the Meng's family and my mother-in-law is from the Meng family, the Meng family is also the elders of my husband and I. Shouldn't we respect it?"

They had already explained the origin of this marriage and Qu Siniu's life experience before, so everyone listened to Liang Kangsheng's words, and felt that what he said seemed to make sense.
