Yan Song was the presiding judge of the Taicang silver vault theft case. He was so serious and responsible that he looked like he was willing to devote his life to the case and die in court. At noon, he just asked someone to get a big pancake, which he broke into pieces and put into his mouth. He didn't even want to waste time swallowing, and directly drank it down like drinking medicine with tea, and then started to try the case again.
The officials present at the trial expressed their admiration for Yan Song's hard work and responsible attitude. At the same time, the fact that Yan Song was so serious and responsible in the court also reached the ears of Emperor Jiajing, who was very pleased.
Yan Song's seriousness and responsibility were not in vain. I heard that the trial of the case was progressing rapidly.
I heard that with Yan Song's careful logical reasoning and superb case-handling skills, the truth of the case is almost revealed.
I heard someone has confessed.
I heard that two second-rank officials who were attending the lecture were implicated, and one of them was a student of Yan Song...
I heard that Yan Song killed his relatives for the sake of justice...
I heard that the stolen silver of 1.2 million taels was recovered...
However, all this has nothing to do with Zhu Ping'an. On the first day of vacation, Zhu Ping'an was pestered by the naughty kid Rui Ge'er and the little loli Niuniu.
After lunch, the two little ones heard that Zhu Ping'an was on vacation at home, so they ran over with their short legs and didn't leave. One sat at the head of the bed, and the other sat at the foot of the bed, and pestered Zhu Ping'an to tell stories.
The naughty boy Rui Ge'er likes to listen to mythological stories the most, such as Calabash Brothers and Investiture of the Gods. The naughty boy listens to them seriously and doesn't even want to fart. The little loli Niuniu likes to listen to stories like The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes. Of course, little Luo Niuniu likes to listen to any story told by Zhu Ping'an.
The two little ones were listening with great interest, but Zhu Ping'an was a little overwhelmed. He had been investigating Taicang for several days in a row, which was very tiring. He had only had a short break when the two little ones pestered him to tell three fairy tales. He was so thirsty from the stories that he almost finished a pot of tea.
It doesn't matter if it's a naughty kid.
But the little girl Niuniu's bright and expectant eyes made Zhu Ping'an unable to say no.
Zhu Pingan had no choice but to drink a cup of tea and continue, "Once upon a time there was a mountain, and on the mountain there was an old immortal..."
Fortunately, someone came quickly to rescue Zhu Ping'an from the danger.
"What a strong smell! You were sweating just now. Go wash yourself, otherwise..."
Li Shu came over gracefully after bathing and changing her clothes. Her lips were red without any makeup, and her skin was more delicate than snow, like milk. She was wearing a bright red palace dress with plum blossoms embroidered on the hem of her skirt. Her waist was tied with an elegant bow made of aqua green silk, showing off her slender figure and making her indescribably charming.
"You smell so sweaty, go wash yourself, otherwise..."
Li Shu walked gracefully to Zhu Ping'an and sat down. She pushed Zhu Ping'an closer with her elastic butt. Her beautiful eyes glanced at the two little kids and then fell on Zhu Ping'an. Her nostrils flared and she said coquettishly.
It looks like he's going to kick you off the recliner and not let you sleep if you don't take a shower.
"Come on, brother-in-law. Fifth sister won't let you sleep. I'll take you to sleep in my sixth sister's bed! Sixth sister is so nice. Sixth sister's bed is so big and comfortable! And it smells so good!"
The naughty kid was enjoying Zhu Ping'an's story. When he saw Li Shu threatening Zhu Ping'an to take a bath, he could not help but pat his chest and spoke to Zhu Ping'an indignantly.
Your sister!
You're a jerk!
You really never stop until you say something shocking!
But, filial piety… filial piety! It’s poison in the soup!
"Ahem... that's what he said."
Zhu Ping'an was not scared to death by the naughty kid's words, but was almost scared to death by Li Shu's murderous eyes. Even before the naughty kid finished speaking, the charm and agility in Li Shu's watery eyes when she looked at Zhu Ping'an had already turned into "When my flower blooms, all other flowers will die."
"No, Sixth Sister is not sleeping well, so Brother-in-law will sleep on Niuniu's bed."
Little Loli Niuniu also came up to join in the fun. She clenched her two chubby little hands into fists and waved them, puffing out her little chest and speaking excitedly.
You can join in the fun too.
Zhu Ping'an smiled speechlessly, reached out and scratched the little loli Niuniu's nose.
"It's too hot today. I'm going to take a shower to cool down. That's all for today's story."
Taking advantage of Li Shu's words, Zhu Ping'an stood up and spoke to the two younger ones.
"Brother-in-law, you are such a coward." The naughty kid crossed his arms and looked down on Zhu Ping'an.
"Well, you figured it out." Zhu Ping'an said lazily and walked towards the bathroom without looking back.
Zhu Ping'an's unconventional move made the naughty kid feel like he had punched cotton, and his chubby face was stunned.
"Brother Rui, come here..."
Li Shu sat on the recliner, stretched out her pink and white finger and hooked it at the naughty child, with a bright smile on her pretty face.
"what?"
The naughty kid looked arrogant and glared at Li Shu.
"I suddenly remembered that my uncle will be back tomorrow. I think he will definitely ask Rui to recite 'Returning Home' again. I wonder if you have memorized it?" Li Shu asked with a smile, her teeth were white, like a little fox having fun in the sun.
"Of course I memorized it." The naughty kid raised his head confidently and proudly, pointing his chin at Li Shu, acting like an idiot.
Last time, his father asked him to recite "Returning Home" but due to the inducement of an unscrupulous brother-in-law, he said "Children meet each other without knowing each other and ask with a smile who the fat man is", and he was almost beaten to death by his father.
Of course, the naughty kid will never forget such a painful memory.
The naughty child also knew that his father would be back from Nanjing tomorrow, and he also knew that his father would definitely ask him to recite the poem again when he came back this time. It was like this in the past. Whenever he recited it wrong or didn't know how to recite it, his father would always keep asking questions until he memorized it.
Therefore, the naughty kid had already memorized this poem by heart.
"But I don't believe it." Li Shu shook her head.
"I really memorized it." said the naughty kid anxiously.
"Then carry it on your back for me." Li Shu blinked her big watery eyes.
"Okay... why should I carry it for you?" The naughty kid answered without thinking, but it took him a second to react and he regretted it with his neck stiffened.
"Oh, what a pity! I was thinking of giving this reward to someone who has a good recollection." Li Shu held a silver coin in her slender jade hand.
Silver loach = candied haws = lots of delicious food...
"Because you are my fifth sister, of course I have to carry it on my back." The naughty kid looked at the silver coin in Li Shu's hand with his eyes wide open. The word "morality" seemed to be out of place in the naughty kid's dictionary.
"Hehe... So good. Then you can carry me on your back." Li Shu giggled.
"I left home when I was young and returned when I was old..." the naughty child recited as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hey, isn't it the second child who left home when he was young?"
The naughty kid had just recited one sentence when he was interrupted by Li Shu.
"The second child who left home at a young age is back... No, that's not it, it's the eldest child who is back. That's right, it's the eldest child who is back."
Li Shu's questioning made the kid stunned and he subconsciously fell into self-doubt, but soon he affirmed himself.
“But why did I hear someone carrying my second child, who left home at a young age, back home…” Li Shu blinked her big eyes.
"How could it be the second oldest? Where is the oldest one?" The naughty kid shook his head.
"The eldest daughter married a businessman." Li Shu blinked her big eyes again.
"Hmm? The eldest daughter married a businessman. This sentence sounds familiar. I seem to have memorized it..." The naughty child began to doubt himself again.
Li Shu squinted her eyes and smiled like a little fox. "Of course you have memorized it. I heard you mumbling "Pipa Song" a few days ago and cursing your teacher behind his back."
"No, the eldest daughter married a merchant. This is from another poem." The naughty kid reacted.
The new teacher was crazy. In order to prove that he was a good teacher, he made me recite the long, difficult and incomprehensible "Pipa Xing"... ...
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then, Rui'er, don't recite 'left home at a young age and the eldest returned' as 'the second child left home at a young age and returned'. Don't confuse it with 'the eldest child married a merchant'." Li Shu kindly reminded the naughty kid, and when she mentioned "left home at a young age and the second child returned" and "the eldest child married a merchant", she even emphasized the tone to remind the naughty kid.
"Of course." The naughty kid replied arrogantly.
Later, when reciting "Returning Home" Li Shu reminded the naughty child several times.
"I certainly won't recite it as 'I left home at a young age and returned as a second child'."
The naughty kid looked at the silver coin he won with excitement, waved his fat paw nonchalantly and said.
