Hua Qingfeng lowers the head reads this official complaint form, first a dark to praise voice: „Good calligraphy!” Decides clearly looked in again the shape writes the content, sucks in an cold air/Qi. 花晴风低头一看这张状纸,先暗赞一声:“好书法！”定晴再看状上所写内容,不由倒抽一口冷气。 In the Tian Miaowen shape wrote: „To maintain moral integrity to be disloyal to change one's principles the entire section matter: The year 19, the husband dies without the child, Weng robust wifeless, the uncle has not married greatly, therefore begged remarries.” 田妙雯的状上写道:“为守节失节改节全节事:氏年十九,夫死无子,翁壮而鳏,叔大未娶,故乞改嫁。” The following these words are very good to understand, front a few words somewhat are slightly incoherent, but careful read, finishing touch actually exactly here: If maintains moral integrity, unavoidably is disloyal. Only changes one's principles, can the entire section. Why? Then is because this woman is right, but father-in-law not only right maturity but also died the wife, the brother-in-law has grown up has not actually found a wife...... information content that is quite big. 后面这段话很好理解,前面一句话略微有些拗口,可仔细一读,点睛之笔却恰在此处:若是守节,难免失节。唯有改节,方能全节。为何？便是因为此妇正当年少,而公公不但正当壮年而且死了妻子,小叔已经成年却尚未娶妻……信息量那是相当地大呀。 According to then regulation, the father-in-law and daughter-in-law adultery was the capital crime, the brother-in-law and widowed sister-in-law adultery similarly was the capital crime, really must have this case, is to reach higher authorities the day to listen. Nowadays Ye small wife have projected on the tribunal the lawsuit, if his Hua Qingfeng is not accurate, comes to day, once really presents this scandal, is his significant misdeeds, loses a government post Ba Zhi is also unavoidable. 按照当时的律法,公公与儿媳通奸是死罪,小叔与寡嫂通奸同样是死罪,真要发生了这种案子,是要上达天听的。现如今人家叶姓小娘子已经把官司打到公堂,如果他花晴风不准,来日一旦真的出现这一幕丑闻,便是他的重大劣迹,丢官罢职也是在所难免。 Tian Miaowen also holds the mentality that Hua Qingfeng was always afraid of getting into trouble timidly, although this plaint only few several, are actually sharp like the blade, Hua Qingfeng saw such a plaint, that „does not permit to remarry” the verdicts of four characters unexpectedly is how regardless of also to say. 田妙雯也是抓住了花晴风一向胆小怕事的心态,这一张状子虽只寥寥数句,却是犀利如刀,花晴风见了这样一张状子,那“不准改嫁”四个字的判词竟是无论如何也说不出口了。 Hua Qingfeng takes female's body to Tian Miaowen, but to dispute matter, is precisely the registrar Wang niece, has to the own suspicion of launching an attack, in the heart is unsatisfactory, originally decides, how regardless of not to make her win this lawsuit, now saw such an official complaint form, is the hesitation long time does not dare to answer unexpectedly. 花晴风对田妙雯以女子之身而为讼事,且是王主簿的外甥女,有向自己发难之嫌,心中大为不满,本来打定主意,无论如何也不让她赢这场官司,如今见了这样一张状纸,竟是踌躇半晌不敢作答。 Under the porch Ye Xiaotian and registrar Wang somewhat are curious, does not know that Tian Miaowen took pen in hand to finish a piece of writing at one go, but few several, actually wrote what/anything, made the county head magistrate Hua complexion so ugly unexpectedly. 廊下叶小天和王主簿都有些好奇,不知道田妙雯提笔一挥而就,不过寥寥数笔,究竟写了什么,竟令花知县脸色如此难看。 Hua Qingfeng stared at that plaint to look for a long time, complexion Yin clear uncertain, Tian Miaowen saw that to show a faint smile, knew that has hit the county head magistrate Hua strategic point. He this responsibility back to his body, this lawsuit will not win. 花晴风盯着那张状子看了许久,脸色阴晴不定,田妙雯见状微微一笑,自知已然击中花知县的要害。他是绝不会把这份责任背到他的身上,这场官司赢定了。 Really, Hua Qingfeng puts down the official complaint form slowly, looked at one to Feng Laifu, said: „Von is positive!” 果然,花晴风徐徐放下状纸,向冯来福看了一眼,道:“冯里正！” Feng Laifu hurries to raise the head saying: „Civilian.” 冯来福赶紧抬头道:“小民在。” Hua Qingfeng said: „There you daughter-in-law right youth is young, and no heir foster, in light of this old and alone person life, firmly also improper. this county considers repeatedly, was inferior that...... permitted her to remarry.” 花晴风道:“你那儿媳正当青春年少,且无子嗣抚养,就此孤老一生,确也不妥。本县反复思量,不如……允她改嫁了吧。” „What?” “什么？” Feng Laifu one hear was anxious, he no doubt does not know the sense of honor. The saliva daughter-in-law beauty, actually is also because forces this daughter-in-law to maintain moral integrity, is of great advantage in Feng, according to the Great Ming law, the female 30 dies to maintain moral integrity by the ex-husband, after 50, still has not remarried, the flag table village gate, avoids the main family messenger, this is the greatest glorious and solid actual benefit. 冯来福一听急了,他固然是不知廉耻。垂涎儿媳姿色,却也是因为逼迫这儿媳守节,于冯家大有好处,依大明律,女子三十以前夫死守节,五十以后依然没有改嫁的,旗表门闾、免除本家差役,这可是莫大的荣耀和实实在在的实惠。 Feng Laifu is not willing to give up, immediately said loudly: „Sir. The civilians refuse to accept! Defends the formality, performs the traditional woman ethics, is the woman basis! The husband enters one's name by Italy fiercely, the woman takes maintaining moral integrity as the line. «Book of Change» has the cloud: ‚Woman pure and chaste, faithful until death’. «Classic of Rites» has the cloud: ‚One is uneven with it, does not change lifelong’. The day cannot run away, husband not separable. The women maintain moral integrity, perfectly justified. Now the husband's household maternal home all does not agree that Von Ye remarries, does the Sir pity young its then wants the honor of your visit etiquette?” 冯来福不肯就此放弃,马上大声道:“大人。小民不服！守礼节,尽妇道,乃是妇人根本！丈夫以义烈标名,妇人以守节为行。《周易》有云:‘妇女贞洁,从一而终’。《礼记》有云:‘一与之齐,终身不改’。天不可逃,夫不可离。妇人守节,天经地义。如今夫家娘家皆不同意冯叶氏改嫁,大人怜其年少便要枉顾礼法么？” The Hua Qingfeng complexion sinks. Strikes the table saying: „Is bold and dissolute, dares to call this county.” 花晴风脸色一沉。拍案道:“大胆、放肆,竟敢直斥本县。” Feng Laifu then realizes the breach of etiquette, busy kneels, said: „Civilian does not dare, but Great Lord told, really counteracts the Confucianism, the civilian does not dare to comply with.” 冯来福这才醒觉失仪,忙又重新跪好,道:“小民不敢,但大老爷如此吩咐,实在有悖礼教,小民万万不敢遵从。” Hua Qingfeng slowed down the tone, said: „Feng Laifu, you this year how old?” 花晴风放缓了语气,道:“冯来福,你今年多大岁数了？” Feng Laifu is startled, does not know how he asked the age, busy say/way: „Civilian this year is 42 years old.” 冯来福一怔,不知他何以问起自己年纪,忙道:“小民今年四十二岁。” Hua Qingfeng also said: „Can wife be well?” 花晴风又道:“妻子可还安好？” Feng Laifu said: „...... The year before last spring died of illness.” 冯来福道:“呃……前年春上病逝了。” „Can once remarry?” “可曾续弦？” „Not!” “不曾！” Hua Qingfeng said: „Good! There you child this year was big? Can once marry?” 花晴风道:“好！你那儿子今年多大了？可曾婚配？” Feng Laifu hurries to hint the son to crawl forward on one's knees several forward, said: „My son Feng Song, is 18, is the second son of civilian, has not gotten married. Eldest son Feng Yu, died of illness in the year before last spring.” 冯来福赶紧示意儿子向前膝行几步,道:“犬子冯嵩,年方十八,是小民的次子,尚未成亲。长子冯昱,也在前年春上病逝了。” In the spring of the year before last year, the Hu county area had flood, later the plague was in vogue, that plague was not fatal, but to the body on the weak person, was actually a great misfortune, the county died more than 400 people, was the senior citizen or usually physically weak. 前年春天,葫县一带发了一场大水,之后瘟疫盛行,那场瘟疫本身并不致命,但是对身体本来就虚弱的人来说,却是一场大劫,全县死了四百多人,都是老年人或平素体弱者。 Hua Qingfeng nods, said: „Yes, Feng Laifu, your maturity lives alone, there you child has grown up, has not actually found a wife, in the family/home keeps the woman who remains a widow, did not fear that is in suspicious circumstances to annoy the person to censure? This officer has this consideration, decided that rules Von Ye to remarry......” 花晴风点点头,道:“是啊,冯来福,你壮年鳏居,你那儿子业已成年,却尚未娶妻,家中留一守寡的妇人,就不怕瓜田李下惹人非议吗？本官有此思量,才决定判决冯叶氏改嫁……” Feng Laifu one hear, is startled secretly: „So that's how it is, no wonder county magistrate Great Lord changed the rumor suddenly. The lowly person who there is no sense of shame, decided however all said knew with this female lawyer. If I force too tightly, she steels one's heart, on the spot said all, how did I also cultivate the behavior? But...... puts her to depart, solid unwilling......” 冯来福一听,暗自吃了一惊:“原来如此,难怪知县大老爷突然改了口风。这不知羞耻的小贱人,定然是把一切都说与这女讼师知道了。如果我逼迫太紧,她把心一横,当堂说出一切,我还如何做人？可……就这么放她离去,实不甘心……” Hua Qingfeng sees Feng Laifu to lower the head the consideration not to speak, thinks own these words have made him flinch afraid, then coughs a sound said: „! this county judges......” 花晴风见冯来福低头思量不语,以为自己这句话已然令他心虚退缩,便咳嗽一声道:“咳！本县宣判……” „Holds on a minute!” “且慢！” Feng Laifu raised the head fiercely, first hatred stared at leaf small wife one, carries over county head magistrate Hua the vision slowly: „County magistrate Sir ponders is really, then had also once considered regarding this matter civilian, found out appropriate means.” 冯来福猛地抬起头来,先怨毒地盯了叶小娘子一眼,又缓缓把目光移向花知县:“知县大人所虑甚是,然则对于此事小民也曾有所考虑,想出了一个妥当的办法。” Hua Qingfeng one hear of big feelings are curious, are busy at asking: „What means do you have?” 花晴风一听大感好奇,忙问道:“你有什么办法？” Feng Laifu said: „Civilian once discussed with the parents of son or daughter-in-law, making the widowed daughter-in-law return to the maternal home to go. The living expenses clothing and application, the civilian supplies as before. So can avoid the native place censuring, when remarries, second son to get married to the civilian, or after the widowed daughter-in-law is old, my Feng naturally meets to care, so, not only may completely a righteousness, and may avoid others censuring, how could it not be to kill two birds with one stone?” 冯来福道:“小民曾与亲家商议,让寡媳回娘家去住。吃用穿戴、一应用度,小民依旧供应。如此便可避免乡里非议,待到小民续弦、次子成亲,亦或寡媳年迈之后,我冯家自然接回奉养,如此,既可尽了节义,又可避免他人非议,岂非一举两得？” The Hua Qingfeng itself under the situation, for fear that Feng really does what scandal, at the appointed time oneself cannot be inseparable from, now one hear of Feng Laifu say, immediately strikes the table saying: „Good! Great idea! Rare your pains, such being the case, Von Ye, did you have what words to say?” 花晴风本就是迫于形势,生怕冯家真的干出什么丑事,到时自己也脱不了干系,如今一听冯来福这么说,登时拍案赞道:“好！好主意！难得你一片苦心,既然如此,冯叶氏,你还有何话说？” Leaf small wife said frightened: „Daughter...... daughter......” 叶小娘子惶然道:“民女……民女……” Tian Miaowen rushes ahead one step, stares Feng Laifu saying: „Can your grade of view, discuss with her wife's relatives?” 田妙雯抢上一步,瞪着冯来福道:“你这等说法,可与她娘家人商议过么？” Feng Laifu eats her charming big eye to stare, the heart jumps: „Small wife that good show to be good to flatter, wears the men's wear, so arouses as before!” However he also knows, this female he cannot think of a way, cannot think, should say hastily: „Feng said that has discussed with the parents of son or daughter-in-law!” 冯来福吃她妩媚的大眼一瞪,心头不由一跳:“好骚好媚的一个小娘子,穿上男装,依旧如此撩人！”不过他也知道,这个女子他是丝毫打不得主意的,不敢多想,连忙应道:“冯某说过,已然与亲家商量过的！” Hua Qingfeng sees the Tian Miaowen angry appearance. Sneers secretly, said: „Comes the person, to pass on Von Ye parents to arrive at the hall! For the time being draws back the hall!” 花晴风见田妙雯气恼的样子。暗暗冷笑一声,道:“来人啊,去传冯叶氏父母到堂！暂且退堂！” Hua Qingfeng a gavel racket, leaves in a huff, Feng Laifu and Feng Song father and son and Von Liu, Tian Miaowen were led the classroom to wait to the hall under by the distinction temporarily, plaintiff defendant both sides are away from a road, treats respectively in two classrooms. 花晴风把惊堂木一拍,拂袖而去,冯来福、冯嵩父子和冯刘氏、田妙雯被分别带到堂下班房暂候,原告被告双方隔着一条甬道,分别待在两座班房里。 Ye Xiaotian and registrar Wang also enter the classroom that Tian Miaowen was, enters the classroom, the registrar Wang access road/simply said: „Yeah! I said, do not manage this matter. Nowadays. Others maternal home husband's family's home did not agree that this female remarries, found out the appropriate means that even if there is you exceedingly high ability, how can also?” 叶小天和王主簿也进了田妙雯所在的班房,一进班房,王主簿便道:“哎！我就说,你不要管这件事嘛。现如今。人家娘家婆家都不同意此女改嫁,又想出了妥贴的办法,你纵有通天的本领,又能如何？” Tian Miaowen is willing to lend a hand to help Von Ye at first, very big reason wants to drag into the Tian Family camp Hu county one of the three giants, asking him not to renege on a promise again. But at this time by Feng Laifu shameless stirred up greedily, moved the real anger, actually thinks that did not ask the achievement, only wants to help her be separated from Feng to control. 田妙雯最初肯出手帮助冯叶氏,很大原因是想籍此把葫县的三巨头之一拉入田家的阵营,叫他再也反悔不得。可这时候被冯来福的无耻贪婪所激,动了真怒,却是想不问成果,只想助她脱离冯家控制了。 Tian Miaowen shifts to leaf small wife angrily. Asking: „How did you say?” 田妙雯气鼓鼓地转向叶小娘子。问道:“你怎么说？” Leaf small wife timid said/tunnel: „Slave...... the slave has no experience, really does not know that...... does not know should should do. If...... if the father-in-law is willing to put me to return to the maternal home, henceforth no longer harassment, that...... that also yes.” 叶小娘子怯怯地道:“奴家……奴家没甚么见识的,实在不知……不知该如何是好。如果……如果公公肯放我回娘家,从此不再骚扰,那……那也是可以的。” Leaf small wife dangling head. Spooky said/tunnel: „Slave not does not know that the female of sense of honor, deliberately considered constantly remarries a man, but can avoid...... avoiding......, is good!” 叶小娘子垂下头。幽幽地道:“奴家并非不知廉耻的女子,一味寻思改嫁个男人,但能避免……避免……,就好！” Tian Miaowen coldly one. Said: „This clearly is his delaying tactics, some date and time, they must take the daughter-in-law to go back. So long as your parents did not oppose, who can do to them? This matter, cannot give up.” 田妙雯冷冷一哼。道:“这分明是他的缓兵之计,过些时日,他们要接自家儿媳回去。只要你父母不反对,谁又能奈何得他们？这件事,绝不能就此罢休。” registrar Wang sits on a long and narrow bench, is stroking the beard leisure said/tunnel: „How don't you want to give up can? Now can also do to them?” 王主簿在一张条凳上坐下来,捋着胡须慢条斯理地道:“你不想罢休又能如何？如今还能奈何得了他们么？” Tian Miaowen casts a sidelong glance Ye Xiaotian that has kept silent, said: „You are not always wise, can have the means?” 田妙雯睨了一直默不作声的叶小天一眼,道:“你不是一向足智多谋么,可有办法？” Ye Xiaotian grinning said/tunnel: „How does miss know me to be always wise?” 叶小天笑嘻嘻地道:“姑娘怎知我一向足智多谋？” Tian Miaowen cold snort/hum, turns upwards the chin not to answer. 田妙雯冷哼一声,翘起下巴不答。 Ye Xiaotian remembers the uncles in the front, is not good to flirt with one another, then coughs, carries the bureaucratic airs saying: „This matter in my opinion, easy.” 叶小天想起人家舅舅就在面前,不好打情骂俏,便咳嗽一声,端起官架子道:“此事在我看来,容易的很。” Tian Miaowen eyes one bright, is happy: „Do you really have the means? Mentioned in a big hurry!” 田妙雯双眼一亮,喜道:“你真有办法？快快说来！” Ye Xiaotian said: „First, I will use both persuasion and threats, threaten Feng. I am an officer, what is he? However one wealthy villager, I do not frighten his fart to roll the urine to roll does not call the skill. If he has not been convinced, I invited Li Bahao and Gao Ya two people act!” 叶小天道:“首先呢,我会软硬兼施,恐吓冯家。我是官,他是什么？不过一个土财主罢了,我不吓得他屁滚尿滚都不叫本事。如果他还不买帐,我就请李伯皓和高涯两人出面！” Tian Miaowen is startled, said: „Do these two people are do, local famous lawyer?” 田妙雯一怔,道:“这两个人是干什么的,本地有名的讼师吗？” Ye Xiaotian shakes the head saying: „No, they are in the mountain tribe few Stronghold master, in the county these common people, always pass on fierce them fiercely, unreasonable. I called them to take 350 robust men, during the daytime damaged the paddies of Feng, in the evening threw the excrement to urinate toward their family/home, three days, Feng Jia is certainly weeping and wailing asks leaf small wife to remarry!” 叶小天摇头道:“非也,他们是山中部落的少寨主,县中这些百姓,一向把他们传得凶恶狰狞,不讲道理的。我叫他们带上三五十条壮汉,白天祸害冯家的田地,晚上往他们家丢屎撒尿,如此不出三天,冯家一定哭着喊着求叶小娘子改嫁！” Tian Miaowen heard to be startled, long time is staring Ye Xiaotian, asked: „Are you really an officer?” 田妙雯听得怔住了,半晌才瞪着叶小天,问道:“你真的是官？” Ye Xiaotian is also studying her just now appearance, raises the chin arrogant: „Guarantees exchange if not genuine!” 叶小天也学着她方才的样子,傲慢地扬起下巴:“如假包换！” Tian Miaowen sighed, mutters the said/tunnel: „Luckily the rare and beautiful flowers like you, on the Great Ming government did not have second again.” 田妙雯叹了口气,喃喃地道:“幸亏像你这样的奇葩,大明官场上再也没有第二个了。” Ye Xiaotian indifferent said/tunnel: „So long as can serve the purpose, what method is very important?” 叶小天无所谓地道:“只要能达到目的,什么手段很重要么？” So long as can serve the purpose, what method is unimportant! This, is Ye Xiaotian for the criterion of person! Tian Miaowen cast a sidelong glance his eyes, remembers itself to understand about Ye Xiaotian all, had a deeper cognition to this person. 只要能达到目的,什么手段并不重要！这,就是叶小天为人的准则！田妙雯又睨了他一眼,想起自己了解到的关于叶小天的一切,对这个人有了更深一层的认知。 Ye Xiaotian said: „Too simple and crude?...... The miss do you have a better way?” 叶小天道:“太简单粗暴了是么？难道……姑娘你还有更好的办法？” The Tian Miaowen pupil wave flashes slightly, sweet say/way: „Gives a try, if my method no matter uses, at that time wanted exhausted Sir leaf to depend on the method with that local ruffian.” 田妙雯眸波微微一闪,嫣然道:“试试看吧,如果我的法子不管用,那时就要劳烦叶大人用那痞赖手段了。” Tian Miaowen glances to flow, looking is really charming, Ye Xiaotian looks in the eye, to this young lady Tian actually was also many a cognition: „On this young lady Tian people skills, with me but is actually a fellow traveller!” 田妙雯眼波欲流,瞧来甚是妩媚,叶小天看在眼中,对这位田姑娘却是又多了一层认知:“这位田姑娘为人处事上,与我倒算是同路人！” : At the end of the month, please various friends cast your bill, at the end of the month resets, must waste surely not, the waste is the ignominious drop! :月末了啊,请诸友投出你的票票,月末清零的,千万莫要浪费,浪费是可耻滴！ ( To be continued..)
