Yan Yu stayed at his third uncle's house for two days in a row. The longer he stayed, the more he felt that his eldest cousin was in danger.
She looks like a gentle and beautiful woman with beautiful face, but when she opens her mouth, she turns out to be extremely cruel.
Others described those swordsmen as sharp as knives, killing people with every word. And his cousin clearly had a poisonous tongue that pierced the heart.
That day, Yan Yu somehow provoked his eldest sister again, and Yan Tian was silenced again by Yan Tian in front of everyone in the flower hall.
His face turned red from suppressing it, and he stretched out his hand and nodded: "Hey! Big sister...what, why are you so incapable of making jokes?"
"Second brother, this is not a joke." Yan Tian looked at Yan Yu and smiled gently, quite like two siblings chatting with each other, "It's called self-entertainment. The speaker is happy and the listener is happy. It's called a joke. The speaker is happy and the listener is happy. Displeasure is called self-entertainment.”
"Take today's incident as an example. Bantou Li came to my father to report that there was a lawsuit between two people in the court. The second brother said, 'No matter the merits of the matter, each will put a fifty-fifty stamp on it first.' Then he laughed? What is the background of the second brother? Hou Mansion, reading the book of a saint, my little sister really can’t believe that she is so ignorant of right and wrong, right and wrong?”
Captain Li couldn't help but hold his sleeve and wipe his sweat. His luck! If you come to Houzhai to report a message, you can catch up on the quarrel between brother and sister!
But having said that, the eldest lady has always had a good temper, why are you so irritable today? The last time I saw her being so quarrelsome was when matchmaker Liu from the city came to propose marriage to the bastard son of the richest man Huang...
He turned and looked at Yan Wenkuan again. Alas, it’s not easy for their adults either. The magistrate of Fengji County is really a loser. It seems that the Chinese New Year is almost here and he still brings a loan lawsuit.
In recent years, he took advantage of his old age, the presence of people in the court, and their good tempers to send all cases that he did not understand directly to the prefect's Yamen. How much chaos has been caused for nothing? !
As for Yan Wenkuan, he probably knew why his daughter was so sharp. It was probably because she was angry during the last night conversation. But things in the yamen ahead were really urgent, and he couldn't allow him to say more.
So he just waved his hands to the two of them and said, "Brothers, friends and sisters are respectful, please don't argue." Then he turned around and took Bantou Li to the front office in a hurry. It relieved Team Leader Li's embarrassment.
Suddenly there were two less spectators. The servants had already known this and hid out. Now only Qin Zhuen, Sanshou and Xiaozhu were left to watch the two brothers and sisters quarrel.
"Hey, your young lady and Young Master Yu are quarreling." Sanshou came to Xiaozhu's side and said, "Why don't you try to persuade her? After all, this is a girl's family..." He originally wanted to say, "It won't look good if they quarrel."
But who knew that Xiaozhu would get the wrong idea, and instead of looking at him, she stared excitedly at the tense brother and sister on the field, and said: "Children, don't get involved! Don't worry! Our young lady never loses in a fight." Pass!"
"Well……"
Sanshou was swallowed on the spot. No, girl, the expression on your face is that you are very confident in your young lady's quarrel skills. Those who don’t know better would think that you are holding back your mischief to see your young lady make a fool of herself!
And... who is the kid? ! Sanshou hugged his big apple and glared at Xiaozhu. You little girl!
The brother and sister were on fire. Outside the court, Sanshou was struck by lightning with a random strike by Xiaozhu, leaving him scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
Qin Zhuen was suddenly in a good mood. He felt that what Yan Tian said a few days ago was nothing at all.
A man! Just be more generous. What's more, this is the sister of a good brother! This brother is much worse off than me! Ha ha ha ha……
Qin Zhuen turned around and found a chair to sit down. He picked up the tea bowl with a smile, his peach blossom eyes sparkling, and he almost had the words "I want to watch a show" carved on his forehead.
Sanshou covered his eyes, feeling that it would be difficult to end the affair without giving their young master a fruit plate with melon seeds or something.
Besides, Yan Yu didn't want to quarrel with Yan Tian in front of his third uncle. After all, my biological father is here, so who does it take for his cousin to point fingers and give lessons?
But who knew that his third uncle looked like a Buddha, but he was actually even more compassionate. He only said one sentence to teach his daughter a lesson and then left?
It seems that his third uncle is used to Yan Tian being so sharp-tongued. Then what he said two days ago when he asked his third uncle to take care of Yan Tian must have turned out to be farts.
OK! Since his third uncle can't control it, Yan Yu can only exercise his brother's power without hesitation!
So he solemnly took on the role of his eldest brother and decided to teach this eldest cousin who didn't know the heights of the world a lesson.
"Okay, okay!" Yan Yu suppressed his anger and smiled instead of being angry, "Not to mention the propriety of brother's joke. I just heard last time that my eldest sister is also a student and likes to talk sense, so let's do it today Discuss the matter, talk about the truth, and talk about the lawsuit.
"My eldest sister, have you ever heard that Confucius said: 'We are just like a human being when we hear lawsuits. We must also avoid lawsuits!' Master Confucius taught people the golden mean and that harmony is the most important. Only by putting an end to lawsuits is the way to achieve great harmony.
"If the people all file lawsuits because of disputes and love to litigate and fight fiercely, then our great Qi Dynasty will not be harassing people all day long and abandoning farming and weaving. As a result, the people's customs have completely changed. Fighting for victory and courage will lead to the proliferation of bad people and the decrease of good people. .At that time, taxes and servitude will be inactive and national strength will be weakened. How can we support the imperial court and resist foreign invasion?
"Looking at ancient times and the present, why is it not a world without lawsuits in the prosperous times? There are records that the ancient times of Yao and Shun were a world without lawsuits.
"My eldest sister, as a woman, may not understand these important matters of the country's people's livelihood and the court. But I always understand Confucius' principle of 'valuing peace and holding the middle, and valuing the monk's middle', right?"
"Just because your eldest sister is biased and has a doting father, you can't act willfully and become lawless and litigious in your uncle's jurisdiction!
"You should know that lawsuits should not be started rashly, and those who are aggressive in litigation will be in trouble!
"My eldest sister should read more books by sages on weekdays. My daughter's family should be quiet and taciturn, well-informed and sensible, so that she can take care of the house, take care of her husband and raise her children. Instead of being so domineering, clever with words, and competitive, Fierce and brave.
"It's good for my eldest sister to be my brother. Please remember my eldest brother's words."
"Okay!" Qin Zhuen couldn't help but praise.
Awesome! It’s so hearty! He had already enshrined Yan Yu in his heart. When it comes to quarrels based on quotations from classics, there is really no one like him in Beijing. Although he is also good at insulting people, he is even better at saying some common idioms and folk wisecracks to annoy people, commonly known as swearing. However, in such a short period of time, he was lacking in quoting classics, quoting from other sources, and writing a splendid article to refute like a palace examination, but Yan Yu was outstanding in this aspect.
Sanshou nodded and silently lit a candle for Miss Yan in his heart. At the same time, he looked back at Xiaozhu proudly and thought: By now you master and servant should know that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people, right?
Unexpectedly, he saw that the girl's face was full of excitement at the moment, she was holding her chest nervously, and her breathing was rising and falling rapidly. It was as if she was watching a peak duel between two masters. One master had already released his ultimate move, and she was expecting the other master to take the move.
Uh...okay! You and your lady really don’t have any deep hatred?
Everyone looked at Yan Tian, especially Qin Zhuen, who had a provocative look on his face.
But Yan Tian was unhurried and smiled slightly after listening carefully to what Yan Yu said: "What my brother said is absolutely true, and this is exactly what my little sister has always thought. There will be no lawsuits in the world of Datong! Master Confucius taught people The key is not how to determine the outcome of a lawsuit, but how to prevent lawsuits from occurring in a place or even a country."
Well? Yan Yu was stunned. Is this... admitting defeat?
But then he saw Yan Tian looking up at him, with a bright look in his eyes: "But does second brother know how to avoid lawsuits in one place?"
"This..." Yan Yu was suddenly asked.
"Look, the second brother said this, but he just said something that I also agree with. But what I don't agree with is not the 'no lawsuit' argument, but the 'no questions' argument that the second brother just said. The merits of right and wrong should be dealt with on a fifty-foot scale."
"Hey! This is the 'no litigation' method!" Yan Yu had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly grasped the thread, "I think only in this way can the people know the horror of 'litigation and litigation' and become fearful. Afraid. Of course there will be no lawsuit!"
"Second brother is wrong." Yan Tian shook his head, "Xunzi said: people are born with desires, and if you don't get your desires, you have to ask for them; if you ask for things without measurement and demarcation, you have to fight for them.
“People’s livelihood cannot be lived without fighting, and fighting will lead to lawsuits!
“Confucius’ idea of no litigation is not to make people afraid of litigation, but to completely resolve disputes for the people.
“If a place is to be free of lawsuits and settled, it does not depend on being ignorant of the merits, not distinguishing between right and wrong, but relying on circumstances and reason, clearly distinguishing right from wrong, and making fair judgments!
"When people get justice, they will naturally stop lawsuits. And other people will take this case as a lesson. If they encounter the same dispute again, they will naturally know how the government will make a decision, and they will mediate accordingly, without having to come to the government for litigation again."
"But if we follow the words of my second brother and ask for no lawsuit regardless of the merits, the person who manages the lawsuit will get half of the blame, and the person who entangles the false accusation will get half of the blame. Although the lawsuit is stopped for a while, the lawsuit will be fought later!
"If this is the case, the rogue person will get half of the benefits. In order to gain undue benefits, he will definitely stir up trouble and start litigation again. He will gradually become a unruly person, specializing in litigation to gain profits, and even false accusations and frame-ups, fabricating right and wrong.
"At that time, the government will be like the second brother said, regardless of the merits, each will get half the benefits, and each will take half the blame. In the long run, the more people will confuse right and wrong, and the lawsuits will continue to be disputed. On the contrary, it goes against the original intention of settling the lawsuits, and it is impossible to achieve nothing. Litigation situation!"
"This..." Yan Yu was speechless for a moment.
Yan Tian smiled slightly: "Second brother, do you know that during the time of Emperor Shun, who was a prosperous and free of lawsuits that you admired, Emperor Shun himself was a master of resolving disputes and judging cases like a god?
"There is a saying in "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the Five Emperors": During the time of Shun, 'Farmers from Mount Li invaded the riverside, and fishermen on the riverside fought for their rights.' And 'Shun plowed Mount Li, and all the people from Mount Li gave way; when fishing for Lei Ze, Lei Ze All the people living in the river will give way to their homes; Tao Riverside, the utensils by the riverside will not be bitter. In one year, the residence will be a gathering, in two years it will be a town, and in three years it will be a capital.'
"The government is the backbone of the people, and it is the principle of justice. The people call the chief officials 'Qingtian's parents'. They do not let Qingtian make fifty decisions regardless of right and wrong, but make decisions for them and redress their grievances!
"What the government has to do is 'the ruthless should not say anything and be afraid of the people's will'. No one dares to conceal the true situation, no one dares to speak sweet words, no one dares to make false accusations and frame up, and people are afraid of being convinced. This is the 'no lawsuit' fundamental!"
After saying this, the whole room fell silent. Yan Yu couldn't help but feel a turmoil in his heart when he looked at his cousin, his younger sister. It seems that I have underestimated this sister after all. She is not just a unruly girl who relies on her father's love to act willfully, but a person who cares about the people's livelihood and has great wisdom.
It's a pity... Yan Yu frowned. After all, she is a girl. If he is a man, he will definitely be the lucky man of Ding'an Marquis Mansion and the light on the lintel. But if a woman has such a big mind, it is not the family's blessing, nor is it her own blessing.
Qin Zhuen on the side did not think as much as Yan Yu. At this moment he was dumbfounded and in complete shock.
He originally thought that all the women in the world were trapped in the back house and had a narrow vision. Only his grandmother and his mother were extraordinary women who cared about their family and country and were aloof from the world.
But he didn't expect that he would meet another such a strange woman in Luozhou today! And she’s still a 15- or 16-year-old yellow-haired girl!
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" At this moment, Yan Wenkuan walked in casually and broke the silence with a smile.
Xiaozhu quickly saluted and ran to pour tea.
Sanshou touched his nose and thought: Before you came in, this room was as quiet as a morgue. Where did you see the excitement?
"Dad." Yan Tian turned around and saw her father and couldn't help but smile, "How was the case in the front office?"
"Haha... It's okay. The disputes have been sorted out, the two of them are convinced, the plaintiff has withdrawn the lawsuit, and there is no more dispute."
"Second brother, can you hear me?" Yan Yu turned to look at Yan Yu with a sly smile on his face, "Please let my little sister read more books of sages when she has time. Then my little sister also advises my second brother to learn more about it when I have time. The people are suffering, the economy and the people's livelihood. But don't make any more jokes about "why not eat minced meat".
"Although my little sister is a woman, she absolutely cannot say such a thing."
Hey! You girl!
The good impression Yan Yu had just established on Yan Tian immediately disappeared. He stretched out his hand and clicked for a long time, but was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
"Hahahahaha..." Qin Zhuen laughed at the side.
The eloquent Yan Yu finally encountered a tough fight today! It seems that this girl was quite polite to herself before.
