Chapter 212 Not Low
Chapter 212 Not Low
"Ask him to come." Shen Miaozhu felt uncomfortable after riding in the car yesterday, and she didn't want to move at all today.
After breakfast, she quickly wrote an invitation and asked her cousin Huang Shiwu to deliver it. The latter hesitated for a moment and said, "Dazhuzi, can I lock the door?
That Miao kid…” Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud noise coming from the backyard, followed by the braying of a donkey.
Shen Lingzhu reacted the fastest. He rushed out of the door and ran to the backyard. He saw his own Ermao jumping out of the barn, and there was a big stone under the barn, which had smashed the corner of the barn.
She didn't stop running, and used inertia to fly over the wall, and saw the back of Miao Sili's son running in panic.
Then, without a second thought, he jumped down from the wall: "Miao, stop."
On this side, Huang Shiwu, who was chasing after her, was shocked by her easy climbing up the wall the moment before, and the next moment he was terrified: "Xiao Zhuzi, it's dangerous."
But after he ran up the wall, he could no longer see Shen Lingzhu. He turned to Shen Miaozhu behind him and said, "Big Bamboo, stop chasing. Go to the front and hold the gate."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of the wall and chose a direction to chase.
Shen Miaozhu was left standing at the foot of the wall, looking around, and comforting the frightened Ermao, "The wall is too low, the landlord needs to raise it."
At the other corner of the alley, Miao Jiazi could not run faster than Shen Lingzhu.
As soon as she caught up with the man, she flew up and kicked him in the back.
Plop, "Ah!" Miao Jiazi fell down from a horse and felt a huge pain in his heart. Just as he was about to cry out in pain, Shen Lingzhu pounced on him again and kicked him several times without stopping.
She was not a soft-hearted person. She kicked the Miao family member so hard that he screamed in pain and cried for help, and also alarmed the residents.
When several houses opened their doors, Shen Lingzhu stopped at the right time and said to the families with a fist: "This thief smashed my livestock."
"I..." Before he could utter a word, Huang Shiwu, who had been chasing him, ran over and kicked him, "You almost killed our donkey."
Sometimes an animal is more valuable than a human being: "Oh, that animal really deserves a beating."
"The person on the ground looks familiar to me."
"Heh, you don't pay for your meal, and you take other people's things and claim my name on them."
"Seedling?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there were several bangs and the doors of several houses in the back alley had already closed.
This made things easier for Shen Lingzhu. She kicked him a few more times and said, "Get lost! If you dare to do anything naughty again, I'll break your legs."
"Evil woman." Miao Jiazi couldn't even get up, yet he still dared to curse.
But Shen Lingzhu didn't care at all, and said: "You look strong but you are weak, but you can act so arrogantly because of your father.
Tell me, after the sentence is passed by Miao Sili, how many people will see you and attack you, or even beat you to death if they are more aggressive."
Seeing Miao Sili's son shrinking in fear, she sneered several times, "Get up and leave, otherwise..."
As soon as she lifted her foot, Miao Jiazi struggled to get up. This time he didn't dare to say anything strange and walked towards the street while holding the wall.
"Just let him go like that?" Huang Shiwu was obviously unhappy about staring at people.
Shen Lingzhu spread his hands and said, "No one will pay attention to me if I send him to the authorities. Should I just beat him to death?"
"That won't work." Huang Shiwu shook his head repeatedly, sighed, and wanted to send her home.
Unexpectedly, my little cousin turned around, walked to the back wall, took a run-up, jumped over the wall and jumped home.
Huang Shiwu opened his mouth wide and suddenly remembered that before the Fifth Master left home, he told Zhuzi and Zhuzi not to go out.
And is Little Bamboo abiding by this?
Inside the wall, Shen Miaozhu was not surprised at all that her junior sister would return the same way. "How are you injured?"
"They hit all the sore spots on my body, but no injuries were detected." Shen Lingzhu hadn't followed his master and senior sister in vain.
Shen Miaozhu nodded, led her to the front yard, and opened the door for Huang Shiwu who knocked on it.
Half an hour later, Attorney Fang was invited in, along with two cousins who were there to taste the food.
But Shen Miaozhu didn't let them stay by her side. Instead, she asked her junior sister to stand guard at the door of the main room, leaving it open, and talked with the lawyer for a quarter of an hour.
When Attorney Fang was making some guesses, she said, "Sir, would you be willing to be my uncle's staff member with twenty taels of silver a month and two sets of clothes for four seasons?"
"Why didn't Master Shen ask in person?" Although the monthly salary was not top-notch, it was still not low considering that the seventh-rank salary was only more than forty taels.
But what surprised him was that even the choice of the legal advisor was left to his niece. Mr. Shen was too careless.
Shen Miaozhu did not hide it and said, "We sisters hired you. My uncle doesn't know about it yet. He is busy looking for teachers to guide the brothers in the county exam.
Does Mr. Fang have any candidates to recommend?
"No." Lawyer Fang had not met Mr. Shen in person, so he would not recommend anyone casually.
Seeing that he was silent again, Shen Lingzhu said, "Sir, if you can assist my uncle for two full years, I will give you another two hundred taels."
"It's not about the money." No wonder Lawyer Fang was tempted. Shun County is not the provincial capital, but a small town located on the border of Zhili. There are not many lawsuits in a year, and his income is not that high.
It is not uncommon to go to the provincial capital occasionally to take on a few cases.
He said, "I want to meet with Mr. Shen."
At this moment, he was completely sure that Mr. Shen would be reinstated, and the two girls came to him at this time without any intention of letting him refuse.
"Of course, my uncle will be back soon." Shen Miaozhu calculated the time before inviting the other party over.
Sure enough, more than a quarter of an hour later, Xia Wang came back in the car, and Shen Huai got off with some sadness.
Shen Miaozhu ran over to meet him, supported him and said, "Uncle, there are guests here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Huai immediately became serious and alert. Attorney Fang also came out from the main room and bowed deeply to him.
After the host and the guests were seated, Shen Miaozhu said, "Uncle, we would like to ask Mr. Fang to be your assistant."
"Mr. Fang is an expert in criminal law?" Shen Huai's expression did not change. He believed in Miao Zhu's judgment and waved his hand to let his two nieces leave first.
As Shen Lingzhu left the main room, he whispered, "Uncle didn't even let us watch the interview.
Are you afraid that it won’t go your way and be awkward? "
"Mr. Fang is not bad. If uncle doesn't need him, we will." Once the uncle takes up the post, there will be many things at home that require men to step forward, and the eldest brother who is busy with his studies may not have time.
Shen Miaozhu said, "But uncle will definitely use him. He's from the same hometown, pragmatic, good at criminal justice and socializing, flexible on the outside but firm on the inside. He'll be a very good assistant."
She guessed correctly. Shen Huai was good at mathematics, so he would not have any difficulty dealing with money and grain. However, a person's energy was limited, and having an aide who specialized in criminal law could save a lot of effort.
So he had a very pleasant conversation with Attorney Fang, and they talked until lunch, which was considered to have finalized the relationship between the two parties.
Although Mr. Fang did not know where Mr. Shen would be appointed, he immediately got into the role and quickly recommended a scholar from the provincial capital to him.
He also informed them of the writing styles and preferences of the county magistrates and prefects that he had specially researched.
Shen Miaozhu praised her junior sister: "Little Zhuzi, you have a keen eye for treasure this time."
"Of course, I'm very good!" Shen Lingzhu is someone who doesn't like to be praised.
But after paying Mr. Fang a year's salary in advance, he saw that the silver box was missing more than 200 taels. "In the future, there will be even more responsibilities and a long way to go."
For the sake of everyone, we must not let uncle be short of money.
