Lady Wan Guan

Jiang Haihua and Xiang Baoyi waited until there were fewer people at noon, and then entered Sanxi Hall. They looked around and found Lin Ruoruo. Only a young female doctor was treating people.

"Are you here to get medicine or see a doctor?" Guy Ruan stepped forward to say hello.

Jiang Haihua said: "We are relatives of Dr. Lin and came to see Dr. Lin."

Ah Ruan's face immediately turned cold when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Wait."

Ah Ruan went to tell Jiang Wanning, "Doctor Lin's relatives are here."

Jiang Wan Ning glanced at the two people and said: "Invite them to the back hall, there is no need to serve them with tea."

"Yes."

Jiang Haihua and Xiang Baoyi were invited to the back hall and sat there without a cup of tea.

"His cousin, if he's not in the medicine hall, he's hiding from us, right?"

Xiang Baoyi said: "It's hard to say, this damn girl has now recognized the county master as her master, her wings are hardened, and she doesn't take us seriously anymore. She invited us here, she wants to leave us alone, but there's no way. "

Jiang Haihua: "This girl's eyes are so bad that she actually falls in love with this guy. In this case, it will be difficult for us to ask for more betrothal gifts."

"What are you afraid of? Then Jiang Shi can't marry Ruoruo if he can't get the betrothal gift. Jiang Shi has no money. If Ruoruo does, this medicine hall belongs to Ruoruo's master. How can her master make Ruoruo suffer? The monthly salary given to her will definitely be indispensable. .”

Jiang Haihua nodded: "That's right. No matter who takes the money, it must be taken out. We can't go in vain, can we?"

Just as he was talking, someone outside the door said: "Ms. Jiang, they are inside."

After all, Jiang Wan Ning is the head of the county. Although she is plainly dressed, she has a natural nobility in her movements.

Jiang Haihua and Xiang Baoyi stood up immediately and bowed to greet them.

Jiang Wanning sat down and said calmly: "Are you Lin Ruoruo's relatives?"

Jiang Haihua smiled shyly: "I am her cousin."

Xiang Baoyi: "I am her second cousin."

"I heard that you don't approve of her marriage to Jiang Shi?"

Jiang Haihua: "I don't disagree, it's just that there are some differences on the issue of betrothal gifts."

Xiang Baoyi: "Yes, we are doing Ruoruo's good and are afraid that she will suffer a loss, so we asked for more, but we didn't ask for more, just eight hundred taels. You see, Ruoruo is your disciple, we want eight hundred taels." It’s not an exaggeration, right?”

Jiang Wanning smiled coldly: "Eight hundred taels is not much? Her cousin, how much can you earn in a year?"

Xiang Baoyi said sarcastically: "Me, I don't know the exact number. Sometimes it's more, sometimes it's less."

It depends on your luck. If you're lucky, you'll win a lot, but if you're not lucky, you'll lose a lot. It's just that there are more times when you're lucky.

"The average monthly salary of a doctor in the capital is five taels of silver. As the deputy judge of the Royal Hospital, I only have twenty taels of silver per month. I only get 240 taels of silver at the end of the year. You only ask for 800 taels of silver. If I only earn 800 taels of silver." With this salary, you have to save for more than three years without eating or drinking. For example, if Ruoruo's monthly salary of eight taels per month is almost ten years. Do you think eight hundred taels is not much?"

"And I heard that the betrothal gift is going to be yours. Why don't you pay the dowry?" "No, it's okay. We have accepted the betrothal gift, so we will definitely pay some dowry." Jiang Haihua said.

"How much is one point?" Jiang Wanning asked.

"This... needs to be discussed between her uncle and my mother. We can't agree."

Xiang Baoyi nodded sharply.

Jiang Wanning couldn't help but sneer: "I also said that Ruoruo's relatives are here to congratulate you. Not only do you want to send some gifts, but you should also send blessings. Who knows if you are here to do business, you will still be selling Ruoruo. "

"The county chief has made a serious statement. Since ancient times, it is natural for a man to hire someone when discussing marriage. How can it be said that he is selling his daughter?" Jiang Haihua said.

"Well, you are not qualified to buy her, and you have never raised her. Not only have you never raised her, I heard that the property and fields left by her parents were taken away by your two families. Ruoruo seemed to be only thirteen years old at the time. , how can you bear to bully a child like this? If Ruoruo is really angry this time, she plans to resign, and Jingcheng refuses to stay, saying that she is afraid that you will blackmail me. "

"This... County Master, please don't listen to Ruoruo's nonsense. It was her father who owed our family money, and her father is her only daughter. Isn't it what a daughter should do if her father owes money?" Xiang Baoyi said.

"Yes, Ruoruo wanted to give the house to my mother herself, and no one forced her to do it. We came here to support her, so why did she say she was blackmailing us?" Jiang Haihua said.

Jiang Wanning's lips curled up: "Ruoruo still has the IOU and the letter of transfer of the house voluntarily. She was young and didn't understand before, so she took it seriously. Now she is my apprentice, and as a master, naturally She can't let others bully her. If the handwriting on the IOU belongs to Ruoruo's father, take it to Dali Temple for verification and you will know. The transfer letter states that the house is equal to her aunt's original investment in Sanxitang, so please ask her My cousin went back and told my aunt to provide evidence of the investment, otherwise it would be fraud and we can get the house back."

Jiang Haihua and Xiang Baoyi's expressions changed greatly. It seemed that the county chief wanted to stand up for Ruoruo, and he took advantage of their weak spot.

"You two go back and discuss it, and give me an answer tomorrow. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer tomorrow, then I will take the inspection document from Dali Temple and accompany Ruoruo back to Jiangcheng, and ask the prefect of Jiangcheng to review it carefully. The first instance of this case." Jiang Wanning threatened.

"County Lord, you must have misunderstood. Otherwise, let us meet Ruoruo and we can make it clear in person." Jiang Haihua said.

It would be terrible if they really went back to file a complaint. After all, he was the county head, had status and money, and had connections with Dali Temple. No matter how they fought the lawsuit, they would lose.

The betrothal gift did not arrive, but instead the property that was robbed was lost. Isn't it a big loss?

Jiang Wanning chuckled: "If Ruoruo won't see you anymore, I am her master. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Just as he was saying this, Xiao Pan came in: "Madam, the Queen has invited you to come to the palace. Princess Changping's Mansion has sent an invitation to invite you to a banquet. There is also a case in Dali Temple. Lord Yu of Dali Temple has invited Go and do a favor."

Jiang Wanning accepted the invitation and said calmly: "I understand."

He turned to the two of them and said, "You go back first. Don't forget to wait for your reply tomorrow."

Jiang Haihua and Xiang Baoyi were both horrified when they left Sanxitang. The county owner was very powerful. She dealt with queens, princesses, high-ranking nobles, and even the ministers of Dali Temple who all asked her for help. , How could they offend such a person?
"What should I do?" Xiang Baoyi asked.

Jiang Haihua said gloomily: "I don't know either. Let's go back first and see what your father and my mother say."

In Sanxi Hall, Jiang Wanning put the blank invitation card on the table and asked, "Has everyone made arrangements?"

Xiao Pan replied: "Everything has been arranged. I just wait for your order tomorrow to blast them out of the house immediately."

If you dare to bully Dr. Lin, you will not be able to reap the consequences.

This incident made everyone in Jiang Zhai very angry.
