Chapter 4 This Is Interesting

Qin Xiang is a "good" yaman with a good reputation. He doesn't fish for the common people or make black money, so he is very poor.It's another clear water errand, similar to the gate security guard of later generations, even more poor.

The monthly salary of the Qin servants was only one stone of rice prescribed by the government, which was called food silver, and occasionally a bonus.At the same time, he has to support his wife, daughter and nephew, and his life is very difficult.

The next day, Qin Xiang took Qin Dewei to the yamen to relax. On the way, he asked, "What are you going to do during this time? Or what skills do you want to learn? You are not too young, it is time to consider your livelihood."

Qin Dewei instantly understood his uncle's thoughts, but he still wanted to let himself work with him in the yamen and earn an extra income from the public house.

After careful consideration, Qin Dewei declined his uncle with high emotional intelligence: "I think the position of magistrate is more suitable for me."

Officer Qin's face twitched, and suddenly he felt that the eldest sister-in-law was beaten lightly yesterday, and the eldest nephew's nonsense became more and more serious.Is this official and their low-level petty people from the same world?

Qin Dewei sighed secretly, how come no one believes the truth?He is a dignified doctor who majored in the history of the judicial system in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the county government, of course, it is the most suitable for the county magistrate who decides the case!

In any case, the yamen can't be a yamen anyway, and the court has regulations that the yamen and their descendants are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.

The two were walking on Sanshan Street at this time, and when they passed by an exquisite stone carving gate, there happened to be six or seven people making a loud noise, which caught Qin Dewei's attention.

Among these six or seven people, there was an extremely outstanding young woman who looked like she was in her twenties.

Imagine, even when wearing the most simple filial attire, the appearance can make people feel too gorgeous, how can such a woman not attract attention.Qin Dewei's mental age was also in his twenties, so he couldn't help but pay attention, and his footsteps subconsciously slowed down.

He felt that the temperament of this woman was very similar to some female stars in the spotlight in the previous life, and the simple filial piety clothes could have this effect, which was estimated to be a disaster in the Ming Dynasty.

Officer Qin noticed the strangeness of his eldest nephew. He was intent on gossiping to enlighten Qin Dewei, who was in a "depressed mood", so he deliberately asked: "Look at this little lady, is she beautiful?"

Qin Dewei answered naturally: "It's really beautiful, at least starting with eight points, it's the type I like."

Officer Qin said casually, "You little brat knows how to look at women? You dare to say that you like it, and then tell your mother when you turn around and say that you like a widow ten years older than you!"

"I'm not! I don't! Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Dewei skillfully denied Sanlian.

The Qin officer is inexplicable, what kind of strange words are these?

Qin Dewei patted his forehead in annoyance, and he was also inattentive, and even brought out the habit of speaking in his previous life.He quickly changed the subject and asked, "What's going on here, what are they making a fuss about?"

"It's just fighting for the family property." The officer Qin first summed it up concisely and comprehensively, and then elaborated: "This little lady's surname is Gu, and her husband has been ill for several years, and he died a while ago. But the property left behind is very rich, with a total of four big families. The salt shop sells more than [-] catties of salt every year, and the profit is less than one or two thousand silver."

Oh ho!This is definitely not a small amount. Today, the annual income of the working class in Daming City is about a dozen or so, and the annual income of one or two thousand is one hundred times that of ordinary migrant workers.

Little rich woman, this is true, Qin Dewei said curiously: "If her husband is gone, the family property is naturally hers, so what's the dispute?"

"Not to mention that it is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework." The Qin officer sighed again, and then continued: "The key is that her husband Yang Yuanwai had no children before his death, and now Mrs. Gu is single.

So the Yang family clan was afraid that Mrs. Gu would remarry someone else and bring the family property to another family, or worried that she would bring the family property back to her mother's house.So the Yang family wanted Gu Niangzi to hand over the family property, but Gu Niangzi refused, so there would be trouble. "

Qin Dewei looked at the little widow sympathetically. After 500 years, it is impossible for this kind of dispute to exist. What's the matter with other people's property of the young couple?
But today is still the Ming Dynasty, and the social environment and concepts have not been so advanced.Women lack the right to independence, and the demands of the Yang family are reasonable in the eyes of many people.This is really noisy!
After watching the excitement for a few times, Qin Dewei had already planned to walk away, but his mind suddenly flashed and he remembered something.Yang Bo, the Yang family?

Yang Bo, who openly and maliciously ridiculed himself in the social sciences, said that he had an uncle who had no son died.

Could it be that what Yang Bo said was the same thing as the farce he saw?It should be, they are all surnamed Yang, and they are not far from their own residence, there should be no other homes.

This is a bit interesting, Qin Dewei couldn't help but stare at the little widow again.That Yang Bo was willing to be an adoptive son to a young woman who was only ten years older for the sake of his wealth was really greedy and shameless!
Officer Qin urged his nephew and said, "Let's go, you won't really like that lady Gu, will you?"

"Isn't my uncle a county clerk? Don't you help Mrs. Gu? Look, those Yang family members rushed into her house. What's the difference between breaking into a private house and committing murder." Qin Dewei said.

"Aren't you being fooled by your mother?" I didn't expect that the officer Qin would directly question the IQ of his eldest nephew: "How can we manage other people's housework? They don't give me a cent! Even if I report to the yamen, it is the county magistrate. My lord, let's take care of it, we, a small and strong class yamen, are nothing!"

Qin Dewei pouted, an opportunity to make money was right in front of him, but his uncle didn't even notice it. He was really poor.

Nanjing City was divided into two counties, generally Shangyuan County to the north, Jiangning County to the south of the Qinhuai River, and the Qin commissars worked in Jiangning County.

Although Jiangning County Government had a humble status in Nanjing, the capital of stay, and there was a whole set of imperial court, left-behind ministers, and eunuchs, but it was also an official government that the common people could look up to and bow down to.

Where there is power, there will be surrounding businesses.

Most of the lawyers who took the lawsuit and helped others in the lawsuit gathered under the awning opposite the eight-character wall of the county government gate, waiting for the business to come to the door.

This group of people is very eye-catching. They are all literati dressed in long-sleeved long shirts, which are completely different from other businessmen.Qin Dewei followed his uncle to the county office and firstly paid attention to this group of people.

"This is interesting!" Qin Dewei said, pointing to the lawyers.

Officer Qin resisted the urge to slap his eldest nephew a few times, "Say something I can understand."

As a doctor of the history of the judicial system in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Qin Dewei said eagerly: "Didn't my uncle ask me about my livelihood before? I think I can make money as a lawyer."

Officer Qin rolled his eyes. He found that after the eldest nephew woke up from a coma with a high fever, the brain circuit was so strange that people couldn't understand it from time to time. Was it something wrong with his sister-in-law?

"You are so young and you are not yet familiar with the world, so you want to be a litigator?" Qin officer questioned.

Qin Dewei actually wanted to say that a lawsuit is better than being a yamen, but Gao EQ reminded him not to talk like this in front of his dear uncle.

So I put it another way: "As a lawyer, you can practice writing articles."

"Fuck! I don't know anything when you are an uncle?" The Qin officer bluntly exposed what his eldest nephew said: "Writing a letter and writing a saint's article are completely different things!"

　Why do so many people always jump out to educate me, saying that in ancient times property should belong to the clan Barabala, you should go and look at the serious materials, there are many cases of widows in the Ming Dynasty suing for property, don't always think that A few stall stories to understand history.Besides, they are clansmen and not parents.
