Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Xinzhi County: "Xie Ziran, tell the case from beginning to end, let's begin!"

Under the hall, the criminal master who was in charge of recording picked up his pen and began to record.

When it came to the case, the audience outside the hall became quiet again, only listening to Xie Ziran's clear narration.

"My old parents, my professor, Xiaosheng Xie Ziran, styled Junfu, aged sixteen. He is from Fufeng County, Fengxiang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. He is a scholar. He studies at home and slaughters pigs and sheep for a living. His parents passed away early. , no one does housework. He has sex and good food, so he planned to hire a good cook. However, a guy at home persuaded him to hire a good cook. After a year, the wages alone will cost tens of taels, which is not counted. Eat and drink. Why don't you simply buy a cook who knows how to cook, although it will cost a lot of money. But after a few years, it will be much cheaper if you calculate it. It is also convenient for my own servants."

Hearing what he said, the old master snorted coldly in his nose: "It's a good scholar to study, but he keeps talking about economic affairs, so it doesn't hurt people's ears."

Naturally, Xie knew that his teacher had this kind of temper, so he didn't explain it, and continued to report: "When Xiaosheng heard that it was true, he took his money and went to the people's market to hang out. Recently, there have been frequent border troubles in the northern Tatars, and a large number of refugees have fled to our county. .As a result, the human market is much more prosperous than before. Unfortunately, I haven't found anyone I like."

"As soon as I left, I heard someone shouting from the side, 'Sister-in-law, are you looking for a cook who knows how to cook? Buy me!' Xiaosheng looked back, but saw these two gangsters leading an unsightly mess. The little girl who went down." Xie Ziran pointed to Niu Yi and Shi Hanlu, and then pointed to Nannan.

"Xiaosheng saw that this little girl was so dirty. If she was allowed to be a cook, she might not have the appetite to eat in the future. So he shook his head and said no."

"The two human traffickers were stunned at the same time when they heard that the girl said that they could cook, and then hurriedly said that this little girl really knows how to cook, and her skills are not bad. She has learned from the masters in big restaurants and restaurants for many years. I bought it. Right. While talking, I twisted Nannan's arm and sent the person over, yelling loudly, telling the little girl to tell Xiaosheng that her cooking skills are very good."

Xie Ranran: "Xiaosheng didn't believe their nonsense at all, and didn't want to talk to the two thieves. However, the actions of these two human traffickers were very rough, and the little girl screamed in pain when they twisted her arms. Look at their She doesn't look like a family member, so I became suspicious. I tried words and asked the two men, who is this little girl, and what kind of food can she cook?"

"These two thieves said that they are brothers, and the girl is their niece. The family suffered a war disaster and fled here. I really can't survive. I want to find a good house and sell it to give the child a way of life. However, if you ask Thinking about what kind of dishes Nannan would cook, the two thieves would pick up something like boiled mutton soup, meat jam and so on. Ask the little girl, but she can’t tell why. Xiaosheng thinks it’s funny, and she even lies I don’t know how to say, just these few dishes, let alone a big restaurant, even if friends of friends and poets are looking for a restaurant for gatherings, it is impossible to serve them.”

As soon as Xie Ranran said this, Xin Zhixian said: "Thinking about it, these two thieves must have thought that today's day is using a golden pole, and they have a meal of sesame oil and rice."

At this time, several knowledgeable people in the lobby burst into laughter, even the serious young master didn't notice it.

Since Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the household registration system, the people in the world were strictly divided into grades and grades according to their occupations.If you are a soldier, you will belong to the military household, and your children and grandchildren will be soldiers in the future.Those who are carpenters are classified as craftsmen, and their descendants will also be cup craftsmen.

Class distinctions are very obvious. For ordinary people, there is no way to know what the superstructure eats, uses, and speaks.

Therefore, if the three of them wanted to pretend to be professional chefs, it would be easy for them to reveal their secrets.

Xie Ranran: "After finding out that the girl can't cook, Xiaosheng didn't bother to delay any longer and was about to leave. But Nannan grabbed Xiaosheng and only said one sentence, telling me to find out that these two thieves were abducting people, and decided to take action help."

Now, even Master Nian stretched out his neck and couldn't help asking: "What did this little girl say that made you find out that she was kidnapped?"

Xie Ranran: "Teacher, the girl said, 'Young master, although I don't know how to cook complicated dishes, there is one thing that I cooked very well earlier. If you buy me and go back, you will definitely not be disappointed.' Xiaosheng got a little impatient, and scolded, "You guys are obviously lying, and you know what to do earlier?", but the girl said, "I really know how to do it, but everyone has their own tastes. Different flavors, maybe you like it! The so-called heart of east, west, north and south is not available, but I don’t know what kind of heart you want?” When Xiaosheng heard this, his heart was shocked, and he was immediately sure that this little girl was taken by these two people. It was not their family members that the thieves abducted."

Xin Zhixian and Nian Master said "Ah" at the same time, and looked at the daughter who was kneeling on the ground, only to find something unusual about this little girl.Although this little girl's body was dirty, her washed face was extremely beautiful, with a rosy face that was different from ordinary women's.What's more, she knelt on the ground, rolling her eyes around, as if she was observing something, so she definitely wasn't stage frightened.Judging by her expression, she must have seen the big world. Such a woman cannot be raised by a small family.

Niu Yi and Shi Hanlu who were kneeling on the ground were confused when they saw the two big men screaming in surprise.In fact, they can't even remember where they were exposed.

Niu Yi bravely asked: "My lord, Mr. Xie, what exactly is this little girl talking about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the educated people in the court cast contemptuous glances at him.

Xin Zhixian laughed: "How do you guys know that this little girl is reciting a famous sentence from the "Diamond Sutra", which is also a joke between lay monk Dongpo and monk Foyin in the Song Dynasty. The so-called heart of the East cannot be obtained, but the heart of the West You can't get it, you can't get the heart of the south, you can't get the heart of the north. You can't get the heart of the past, you can't get the heart of the future. People who have never read the book don't know what this sentence means and what is the allusion The little girl looks like a young lady from a scholarly family, how could she be the niece of you two thieves, this alone will make Xie Junfu see that you are kidnappers."

The more Xinzhi County tried the case, the more interesting it was, and he had a sudden affection for Xie Ziran, so he used the words to match it.
