Yan Xiu deliberately tested Zhu Sijia's opinion of him. He asked her: "In your opinion, did the woman's eldest brother do something right or wrong?"
Hearing that he had spared Zhou Caiwei's life, I wish the stone that was weighing on Sijia's heart finally fell to the ground.
She thought about it, and after some deliberation she answered him: "I think the woman's eldest brother did the right thing and should be praised."
Yan Xiu suppressed the surprise in his heart and raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why should I praise you? According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he can directly report the matter to the government and let the sister-in-law who keeps a foreign wife eat a meal and then be sent to serve one month of corvee. This That’s the way to deal with it that’s applauding and happy to hear and see.”
Zhu Sijia: "No, I think this method is very effective, but it is not very effective for the woman."
"In the final analysis, this is a matter between a woman and her husband. Whether in the eyes of outsiders or herself, her husband is a role model for husbands. But it is a small thing for him to have an extramarital affair and damage the family's reputation. It is true to deceive others and yourself and forget one’s feelings.”
"Even without that refugee woman, with his character, he would use various excuses to fall in love with someone else in the future. The refugee woman is just an inducement to see clearly the beast in his face. Even if it were replaced by a woman with a good family background, the result would still be the same. . The problem does not lie with the woman, this man himself has evil intentions and is obsessed with sex."
"The woman's eldest brother secretly learned about this matter. Although he had the right to report it to the government, he still chose to hide it and left the choice to the woman to make her own decision. This is the best way to truly consider her feelings and respect her choice. Brother."
"Because he knows that a man like this man, even if he beats the woman to death to vent her anger, it will not hurt the man, and it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Are you going to let him go, a man who is obsessed with Qin and Mu Chu?"
No one's approval is as good as Zhu Sijia's approval.
With her appreciation and approval, Yan Xiu was even more determined to leave the handling of Guangping Marquis and Zhou Caiwei to Zhaohua himself.
After Yan Xiu stretched out his hand to turn off the light, Zhu Sijia turned over and pulled up the quilt to cover herself.
Marquis Guangping's birthday is coming soon, and she doesn't know if the eldest princess will organize a birthday banquet for him this year, but she is sure that with Yan Xiu's temperament, she will never attend the banquet.
It just so happened that she could also find a reason to stay in the palace and avoid meeting people she shouldn't meet at the banquet.
In her previous life, Zhaohua had no one to rely on, but this life was different. Yan Xiu was still there. She sighed silently in her heart. It seemed that Marquis Guangping's peaceful life was over.
…
On the eighteenth day of the winter lunar month, snow falls in Xijing.
The snow this year is no more than the size of catkins blowing in the wind. People from Qin, Zhou and Qi who came to Qin are all relaxed and ready to spend a good year with peace of mind.
Yan Xiu even went to Nanhua Mountain to visit Li Xunfeng in person, and got an accurate answer from him that this year was a year of auspicious snow, so he happily returned to the palace.
Today is Xiu Mu again. It is rare to encounter such a good day to enjoy the snow. The dignitaries of Xijing have invited people to go boating in Qujiang Lake and enjoy the snow on the island in the middle of the lake.
Fu Mansion.
Fu Zhu was pushed out of the house by Mr. Fu:
"You brat, when your father and I were your age, you learned how to crawl all over the floor. Look at you again. Not even a female mouse dares to enter the house to steal oil! Why don't you hurry up and go to Qujiang Pool with us? Those ladies of the world should move around more."
"Father." Fu Yiyi became angry when he heard what he said and straightened his back, "When you were my age, you were just a sixth-grade Cheng of Dali Temple. Not to mention that you had never cracked the heart-extracting case or the cat case. How dare you marry your mother and start a family in such a shocking case as the monster case?"
Mr. Fu kicked him down the steps: "Of course it's because your grandfather is rich. I have the confidence to do it. Go, go! If you are no longer alone at this time next year, get out of the Fu Mansion and start your own business. Listen. without?"
Fu Zhu frowned: "My son has gone to look for a house."
Mr. Fu was so angry that he cursed for a while. Fu Zhu blocked his ears, stepped on a thin layer of snow, and walked out of Dongshi quickly, stirring up snow dust all over the ground.
During this period, his father had no idea what was bothering him, and he was still happy to introduce him to the daughter he fell in love with.
Ever since he cracked the case of the cat demon, proved Zhu Sijia's innocence, received a generous reward from Yan Xiu, won countless applause, stole the limelight, and wine parties followed one after another.
Fu Zhu finally managed to knock down a group of powerful people in Xijing. He thought he would have a few days of peace and quiet, but unexpectedly he was entangled by the little girl Jia Ruona.
Jia Ruo fell in love with him at first sight when he broke into Jia's house at night to rescue people. The little girl's love was fierce. Jia's father and mother were generous and informal people, and her daughter was no less generous.
He was even so bold that he sneaked into his wine shop, pretended to be a waiter serving tea and water in the restaurant, and drugged his glass.
On the night of the ninth day of winter, they spent a night of absurdity.
When Fu Zhu woke up, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. Jia Ruo still had a year to get haircut, but he was so confused that he slept with someone else.
Although there were previous examples of women giving birth to children at the age of thirteen in the Great Qin Dynasty, during this period, Yan Xiu repeatedly mentioned to him and Li Woyun the new law, which required that the age of hairpins and marriage for women be changed to eighteen. Applause, back foot——
A little girl who was seven years younger than him slept on his back.
If Yan Xiu found out about this, he would be stripped of his skin and torn apart in public!
Afterwards, he personally fed Jia Ruo a bowl of Bizi soup and warned her sternly that if she dared to reveal even half of the matter, he would let her die silently.
Jia Ruo was frightened to tears by him, and kicked him on the spot: "Fu Zhu, you bastard, you took possession of my body and refused to take responsibility. It is a great misfortune for the Qin Dynasty that a person like you can become an official!"
Fu Zhu held his forehead and said, "You are the one who gave the medicine. You weigh it yourself before giving it to the imperial official. Is your Jia family's head enough to be chopped off?"
Jia Ruo was so frightened by him that he didn't dare to move: "Well, what should I do... Mr. Fu, I really didn't mean it. I was obsessed for a while. I, I..."
The little girl was so frightened that she could not speak incoherently.
Fu Zhu threw the clothes to her: "Okay, after one year, when you have hair extensions, I will come to you to propose marriage and marry you. But during this period, please stop following me all day long and find something serious to do by yourself." "
Jia Ruo jumped up, hugged him, and kissed him: "The people of Da Qin are blessed to have such a good official as Mr. Fu!"
Fu Zhu: "..."
Recalling his promise that day, he felt a little scared now. Although the Fu family has been working in Dali Temple for generations and is no more powerful than other families, it is still a century-old family.
If he proposed to his elders to marry a merchant's daughter, would they agree to the marriage?
Fu Zhuyi was annoyed by this matter for a while. As he walked, he suddenly reached a place in Xijing City that he had never been to before.
The place he was in seemed to be a civilian residential area, but there was a group of strong men dressed incompatibly with the place. They were holding a number of sticks and shouted at a house:
"Damn it! How dare you resell the afterbirth to others after taking money from our old lady!"
