Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 25 The Horse Thief

"Mr. Gu, in the courtroom, why do you want to hurt people? The sage said, 'A gentleman is knowledgeable with literature, and treats him with courtesy.' You have a daughter, you should reflect on yourself, cultivate your heart and cultivate your character."

Fu Xin, who was standing by the side, only heard Gu Yingying say that he was not as good as an animal, so he felt angry.But then I thought, I am a man who has read a lot of poetry and books, how can I be as knowledgeable as a country girl?
I saw a few classmates who came to testify, like everyone else in the courtroom, looking at him.I was afraid of being underestimated, so I had to defend myself.

Gu Yingying looked at the silver in Master's hand, and asked Fu Xin very calmly:

"Is it because I hurt people with my words, or are you hypocritical? You don't accept the money, where does the money come from? You don't hurt me, why should I hurt you? The sage also said, 'Whoever wants to cultivate his body, first rectify his heart. Those who are sincere in their hearts must first be sincere in their intentions...'"

This hypocrite surnamed Fu, when he was studying in Jinxia Academy and read some sage books, was he amazing?
It's okay to talk to her, she can reply to him without repeating a thousand words.

who?Feeling so good about myself.

In the original owner's memory of her, it was Fu Xin who took the initiative to accept the silver when he heard the original owner say that as long as he divorced, everything would be up to him in the future.

Not only accepted the silver tael, but also made a promise to the original owner:
He will go to Yin's house within three days and call off his marriage with Yin Yuejiao.

He also coaxed the original owner, "When I retire, I will immediately invite a matchmaker to your house to propose marriage. Let you be my future wife."

The original owner, Shao Lishao, was so angry that he believed it to be true, and even agreed, "Okay, Fu... Fu is a great talent, you must mean what you say."

Fu Xin took the reins from the original owner, and smiled gently at her, her peach blossom eyes were full of inexplicable and unexplainable colors.

Let the original owner's kind of woman who admired him see it, and mistakenly think that he is hinting at her with his eyes, that he likes her.

It was the first time that the original owner saw a man looking at her with such warm eyes when he was so old.So wishful thinking, he would really go to the Yin's family to retire, and then come to the Gu's family to propose marriage and marry her.

Just like that, Fu Xin took the opportunity to propose to lend him the horse to ride for two days.

The original owner was a little hesitant, the horse didn't belong to her alone, it belonged to the family.It's just that her father and mother rode for her, so as not to make it inconvenient for her to go to the city.

An expert like Fu Xin could see the original owner's intentions at a glance, and deliberately pretended to return the reins to her:
"Since it's making things difficult for you, then I won't borrow it. In fact, I don't have to ride your horse. It's just that riding your horse over there is more convincing in front of the Yin family."

For a peasant woman, a horse is indeed quite precious.

Even if Fu Xin was the one the original owner admired, he was not the only one who admired him, so the original owner was still reluctant after hearing Fu Xin's words.

But I also thought that in these years, as long as it is what she likes, she must get it.Fu Xin rejected her many times, which made her lose face and was laughed at by Xu Xinlan and the others.

If she lent the horse to Fu Xin, in exchange for him to go to the Gu family to propose marriage, it would also make her more face.

After thinking about it, the original owner said to Fu Xin: "It's okay to borrow from you, but you have to make an IOU. Write down the time, and return the horse to me tomorrow morning, before the sun comes out. Or, my father If Mother finds out that the horse is missing, she will definitely report to the officials. At that time, it will not be a good thing for you."

People who have read poetry and books are always occupying other people's horses. It's not shameful, is it?
Instead of issuing an IOU, Fu Xin threatened the original owner:

"If that's the case, you, I won't dare to marry you."

The original owner was also a bad tempered woman, so she didn't give Fu Xin a good look immediately, took the rein back from his hand, and rode home.

but……

Yamen's courtroom.

Facing the prefect's question, Gu Yingying truthfully said: "My horse was stolen by Fu Xin, he is a hypocrite!"

How could a majestic Jiangnan talent steal a farm girl's horse?This made Fu Xin's classmates who came to testify looked at him in shock.

No way?Brother Fu is this kind of person?

Although Brother Fu's family is not considered rich, it is not so poor that he wants to take care of the little lady's horse.

If Brother Fu hadn't stolen it, then how could Lizheng of Gu's Village find Miss Gu's white horse in the backyard of Brother Fu's house?

……

Fu Xin was watched by her classmates. Although she felt ashamed in her heart, she didn't show it on her face.Pretending to look at Gu Yingying innocently, said:
"I just rejected your wishes, and I was slandered by you like this. No matter, as long as you don't pester me anymore, don't hurt my future wife, and my classmates, it's all up to you."

This deep voice was full of helplessness.

Gu Yingying had predicted that Fu Xin would definitely pretend to be innocent and pitiful in front of everyone, and would not admit it.Fortunately, when Aunt Xu came over in the morning, she brought a copy of the testimony that both Xing Yaer and her father had pledged, which could come in handy now.

Presenting the testimony to the magistrate, Gu Yingying said neither humble nor overbearing:
"My lord, whether Fu Xin stole Minnv's horse or not, I have a witness to explain to Minnv."

After the magistrate read it, he handed it to the master, who asked the master to read it in front of everyone.

"...I heard that tall man say, 'If this is the case, you, I dare not marry.'"

This is exactly the same as the scene in the memory left by the original owner.

Gu Yingying was grateful to Niu Shi in her heart, and even more grateful to that timid and poor little girl, Xingyaer.

Mrs. Qian is getting old, and today she also came to the Yamen to testify for her in Xu Shibo's bullock cart.

"My lord, Mrs. Qian happened to be Gu's neighbor. She grew up watching her. On the day Mrs. Gu was tricked by Fu Xin to Fucheng, the woman happened to prepare some rice wine, and asked Zhu Sanlang, who was driving, to take her with her. Give it to the nephews of the women in Fucheng to taste it."

"Lu met Xingya, heard her say, 'It's not good, it's not good, Granny Qian, Sister Yingying seems to have been cheated by a tall villain.'"

Facing everyone's suspicious gazes, Qian, an old woman with gray hair, naturally understood their respective thoughts.

Knowing that they don't believe it, what a little girl said will be the truth.Just patiently explain to them:

"Xing Ya'er said to the woman, 'The man said to Sister Yingying, don't you go? Well, just think about it, your horse is gone, how do you explain to your family? But if you go Now, I will not only return the horse and you, but also return the silver you gave me before.'”

Gu Yingying's heart suddenly warmed up.For the kindness of Qian's good neighbor, I must keep it in my heart, and I will repay it well in the future.

But until now, she still couldn't remember how the horse was stolen by Fu Xin.

I just remembered that after she rode the horse to Jinxia City, it disappeared.

The reason why she dared to say in front of everyone that the horse was stolen by Fu Xin was because before she came to the Yamen, she recalled some past events and knew what to say.

After hearing Qian's words, the magistrate sent another witness to come forward.

Gu Yingying knew that that person was the wife of the shopkeeper of a bookstore on West Street who borrowed a way for her to go to Moxiang not long ago.

　It's raining again, and the weather is getting colder. Friends, keep warm.
