Fair Lady

ps I want to go out, so I uploaded it first.Dear ones, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

-------------------------------------------

Shujie and Shuyao first put wild fruits, firewood, etc. into the yard, Xiaoguai and Huohuo also went into the house (in fact, they were sent into a mahogany box), and then quietly put a bucket of soaked beans and An empty barrel was also put into the wooden box.

On the way to the county government, Shu Yao let Shu Jie hug her, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, mother said that County Magistrate Yang is not a good person."

Shujie was taken aback, County Magistrate Yang was his father's sworn brother!

But since my mother explained it to my sister like this, there must be a reason.

Shujie is a gifted and intelligent child. In the past two months, he has been nourished by the aura of the treasure box, and his ears and eyes are sharp and his mind is quick.I remembered that Cuizhu said that Murong Shangshu's Mansion and Zhen Dafu would make two fake birthday papers, which can only be done in the county government. They can be so sure, does it mean that the county magistrate Yang is with them?But how did my mother know that she had been ill for so long?

Alas, no matter, father and mother have always been the smartest people, and mother said that magistrate Yang is not a good person, so he must not be a good person.

When he arrived at the county government office, at the request of Mrs. Xu, County Magistrate Yang opened the door of the government office for a public trial.

The two sides talked about what happened.

County Magistrate Yang asked Xia Linyu: "You said that Xia Shujie's tofu stall uses the secret recipe passed down from your family by the old lady of Xia Mansion, what evidence do you have?

Xia Linyu was never thought of going to court before, so where did he think of any evidence? "My mother had a secret recipe for making tofu that was handed down from my ancestors. It disappeared a long time ago. Now that my nephew's home is making tofu, isn't that just stealing my mother's secret recipe?"

There was a burst of laughter outside the gate of the county government office, and someone shouted: "The jade pendant passed down by my great-grandfather has not been seen for a long time. It is exactly the same as the one on yours. You must have stolen it."

"Ha ha ha ha----"

"Silence! Silence!" County magistrate Yang knocked on the gavel twice, "No noise is allowed in the courtroom!"

"Xia Shujie, Mrs. Xu said that you want to prove your innocence in public. How do you prove it?"

Shujie was very calm, and standing there looked like Xia Linxuan, Yulin's first arrester: "Master Yang, there is a Zhangji Tofu Shop less than three feet to the right of the county government office. I can rent their place for our Mei Auntie makes tofu, bean brains, and soy milk in public, and after they are done, everyone tastes whether they are the flavors we usually sell. Doesn’t it prove that we don’t have any secret recipes? The method is the same as everyone’s.”

The owner of Zhangji Tofu Square happened to be outside, and shouted loudly: "No need to rent, brother Xia can use whatever he wants, and we can also open our eyes. I happen to have freshly soaked soybeans there."

Many tofu-making colleagues who heard the news also shouted: "This method is good. Brother Xia dares to operate it in public. What's the secret recipe?"

Mrs. Xu squinted her eyes and looked at County Magistrate Yang: "I have sent someone to invite several celebrities from Yulin County, restaurant shopkeepers, and families who have been ordering tofu in Xiajia. Everyone should witness together, so that no one will ask for it again." Say who favors whom.

By the way, there is another special guest, the 'Golden Tongue' Jin Xida from the capital city, who just ate a bowl of tofu nao and drank a cup of soy milk at our table in Xu Mansion this morning. "

Jin Xida?The emperor personally bestowed the name "Golden Tongue", which has two meanings.

First, Jinxingda has the best taste in the world. The food you have tasted is "unforgettable", and you can tell which company made it when you eat it for the second time. But it is very picky, and it will never eat anything that is not good Second bite.For the past five years, he has been the first judge of the famous chef competition every year.

Second, people say that the bones are hard, but Jin Xida has a hard tongue.If it's not really a good thing, don't let him "soften" his tongue against his will and say yes.Who told him that he grew up with the emperor, that he had a special relationship with him, and that he had a gold medal for avoiding death from his own hand?

When did "Golden Tongue" come to Yulin Town?If you can win the favor of this lord, tsk tsk, why worry about the future?

County magistrate Yang quickly responded: "Yes, yes, what the old lady said is that we will start when Mr. Jin and the witnesses arrive."

Shuyao was also secretly pleasantly surprised, golden tongue?When she was in the capital in her previous life, she had heard a lot of rumors about him. If her tofu could be approved by him, those who came to make trouble and frame her would have to weigh it up.

In fact, after Xiajia Tofu and Soy Milk became famous, Shuyao was also quite worried about those jealous and unbalanced colleagues playing tricks and making troubles.She had heard many such examples before, such as eating dead people, releasing opium poppies banned by the court, and so on.

Unexpectedly, before the colleagues made a move, my uncle and third uncle rushed to ask for the "ancestral secret recipe".

Xia Linyu and Xia Linang were really scared at the moment. Looking at Xia Shujie and the others, it seemed that there was really no secret recipe.If it is a private trial, they can still insist that the freshly made taste is different, not the ones made with secret recipes on weekdays, but now that there are so many people around, the few celebrities invited by Mrs. Xu are all in this town, A person who speaks a lot in the county.Not counting these, they even invited the "Golden Tongue". It's over, it's over, Xia Linyu has a premonition that their Xia Mansion will be ruined today.

Xia Linyu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Master Yang, let's think about it, my second brother is also our blood brother, if we take the secret recipe, we will take it, we won't sue, everyone is a family, right?"

County Magistrate Yang thought about the Murong Mansion's explanation, and Xia Linyu's help might be needed to find Qingyue Gong, he looked at Shujie hesitantly: "Brother Jie, look, your uncle has already decided not to sue, you... ..."

Shu Yao sneered secretly, took Shu Jie's hand and shook her head lightly, Shu Jie understood that he would not fulfill Xia Linyu's wish.Moreover, based on the words and attitude of magistrate Yang, Shujie has already confirmed that this person cannot be trusted.

Shu Jie replied loudly: "Master Yang, now we are suing the Xia Mansion for framing, so whether he decides to sue has nothing to do with this trial."

Mrs. Xu also snorted coldly: "Lord Yang really loves the people like a son, and is magnanimous! In the lobby of the county government, you can sue if you want, or withdraw if you don't want to?"

Cold sweat broke out on the back of County Magistrate Yang: "No, no, I don't mean that, it's just that one side put forward different ideas, and I want to listen to the other side's opinion."

Shu Jie respectfully said: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, but everyone in Yulin County knows about my late father. When he left home, he would rather live in my grandmother's house than borrow a copper coin like their Xiafu. How could they steal some of their ancestral recipes? Today we must prove our father's innocence, so as not to disturb his spirit in heaven.

When my late father passed away, no one from their Xiafu came to offer condolences, and when my stepmother passed away, they came to look for money and medicinal materials, and said that our family had long since separated and had nothing to do with them, and they had no responsibility to support us.Now we make tofu for ourselves, and they come to our door again to accuse us of stealing the secret recipe.My lord, if we don't prove our innocence in public today, who knows what they will come to us three brothers and sisters next time? "

"Boom---" There was a lot of discussion among the people, and some even scolded their mothers loudly. The neighbors on Xitang Street testified one after another, and they even vividly talked about the lightning strike that night, which caused even more exclamations.

"Wow, so the thunder that night came to strike them!"

"Let me just say, I have never seen such a terrible thunder. Someone must have been punished by heaven."

"Tsk tsk tsk, looking at people like dogs, it turns out that the Xia Mansion is so virtuous, no wonder they were demoted from Lord Marquis to common people."

"Hey, orphans, it's so pitiful, but Butou Xia has done a lot of good things for us in Yulin County."

……

The faces of Xia Linyu and the three of them were all red and purple, and they were sweating profusely. They became famous, and their Xia Mansion became famous again. After the "public proof", the group of people at the gate of the county government will definitely spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, Their Xia Mansion will be "famous for thousands of miles" again soon, just like when they came back from the capital in despair.

They really didn't expect Xia Shujie to be so sharp. Although Xia Linxuan was stubborn, he still had some scruples, especially during the years when his aunt was still alive.

So for so many years, Xia Linxuan and his wife have never mentioned anything about the Xia Mansion outside. Although they are alienated, they are still polite.

But this Xia Shujie turned out everything in one go, and he was so unreasonable.At such a young age, aren't you afraid that the three of them will not have the support of their clansmen in the future?

County Magistrate Yang also sighed secretly, Xia Shujie wanted to completely break up with Xia Mansion?This 15-year-old kid looks tougher than Xia Linxuan!He doesn't care about fame, filial piety, and family anymore?

The most terrifying person is the one who has no scruples. Xia Shujie doesn't even have scruples about his own uncle, so why would he take him as "Xia Linxuan's sworn brother" seriously?How could they make sure he handed over Qingyue Bow, or helped them find Wu Zhenzi?

County magistrate Yang decided not to let Xia Shujie be so rampant and unscrupulous. "Shujie, they are your uncles after all, I am the most respectful of filial piety..."

"It is true that my court emphasizes filial piety the most, but it is also the most opposed to 'foolish filial piety'. Today, the emperor advocates 'be kind to elders, filial to descendants'. Loyalty and morality are placed before filial piety. Master Yang, am I right?" County Yamen A clear voice came from outside, and the people blocking the doorway consciously separated to the two sides to make way.
