Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 38

The servants surrounded the maids, and the maids arched the ladies in luxurious clothes. The old lady handed over spring stools and hot tea, and the small courtyard was full of people.

If others would have been frightened, their legs would have trembled, but Yiyou had an aggressive spirit.If it weren't for her previous life, she would have obeyed her parents' orders to get married long ago, and wouldn't have been pushed by Cheng to do such things.

"Ma'am, the girl only went out of the courtyard to admire the peonies. After coming back, she has been studying in the side room. She has never left the courtyard. I don't know what Madam is doing."

While talking, she glanced around, and when she saw the face of the old lady behind the county magistrate's wife suddenly changed, she already had a plan in mind.She deliberately hid in the inconspicuous side room, just to mislead the people who arranged the layout, thinking that Si Ya had already succeeded.

"Oh, is this true?"

A circle of servants looked at each other at this moment.Even if they had doubts, seeing Yiyou's frank and fake face, they all swallowed the words that were on their lips.

"Everything Minnv said is true, but Minnv has one more thing to ask Madam: At the market today, Steward Chen in the mansion brought people to use the buns from Minnv's home, and then told them that they need to go to the mansion to get the money. But now it's almost half an hour since entering the mansion. At the time of the day, Daddy was nowhere to be seen, what is the matter?"

The county magistrate's wife winked at the maid beside her, and when she saw her take two steps back and go out, Yi You also had a clue in her heart.Since she is willing to help her find her father, she should not know anything about Si Ya's plan to climb into bed.

"I have sent someone to look for it, but you really don't know what it is?"

Yiyou shook her head resolutely, even if she knew it clearly, if she didn't want to die, she could only pretend not to know at this moment.

"but……"

Seeing the eyebrows of the lady on the other side raised slightly, she still said cautiously: "After drinking tea just now, the fourth younger sister brought the women into another small courtyard. The first time the women came to the county government, they dare not visit the owner's house casually. I have to come back alone."

Because the servants in the mansion were changing shifts at that time, and she voluntarily said it, which invisibly added a level of credibility, and the lady opposite had completely believed it.

Looking up at the pretty girl in front of her, and then thinking about Siya who tried every means to climb the bed and rely on the pillow wind to stabilize her father's position as team leader, she couldn't help sighing: It's true that the same rice supports all kinds of people, and the older sister is better than the younger sister in every way .

"My wife is not that unreasonable person, but for this matter, Siya's parents are not here, so it's okay to tell you this elder sister."

Yiyou's eyes were full of confusion at the right time: "What did Madam say?"

"Hey, since Siya entered the mansion, I have never been too harsh on her. Even if she clings to Mr. Pei at will, I just send him away. I really didn't expect that she would do such a shameless thing today. "

It turned out that it was because of Pei Zihuan, this was the first time she knew about it.When she saw Si Ya today, she was still wondering, with the status of the second uncle, she would not be able to do such a dirty job no matter what.

Is this retribution?She was gloating in her heart, but her face was filled with worry: "Ma'am, this matter will be reported to Second Aunt after the daughter-in-law returns home."

"Well..."

The noble lady was worried, she wanted to be strong all her life, she never thought that she would marry her daughter recently, and she would take advantage of this villain.Without her support, would the poor scholar be able to go to the wealthy Yunzhou to be the county magistrate?
Yiyou remained silent, quietly recalling the events of her previous life.This eldest lady is a strong one, but the qualifications of the county magistrate are too mediocre, so she has only reached her current position in the past 20 years.

These have nothing to do with her, but she knows that with Da Yue's custom of living with her parents, and her children and grandchildren traveling not far away without separating their families, if she wants to move to the city under the eyes of the old lady who is always making troubles, she must have a strong backer.But now, the backing is close at hand.

"On behalf of Siya, the daughter of the people first apologizes to Madam, to show her sincerity, I also ask Madam to speak for a while."

Just as the county magistrate finished hesitating and was about to take her in, four strong men dragged two disheveled men in.The small courtyard that was originally crowded was even more full at this time.

Yiyou took a closer look, and found that it was the county magistrate and Siya who came.The obese and bald county magistrate and the dark Si Ya are in perfect harmony.It's a pity for Mrs. Momo, the county magistrate. Although she is not beautiful, she has good facial features and a dignified temperament, which is different from the two.

The county magistrate's wife also thought of this at the moment, time is like a pig-killing knife, forcibly turning the handsome scholar back then into a pig-like idiot today.

"Put the board on that lowly maid."

The county magistrate was clever, busy tightening his belt, looking at Siya with disgust.There are so many juicy maids in the mansion, risking being discovered by his wife, he took the courage to find the ugliest one?

"Hurry up, you dare to seduce the Lord, listen to Madam and beat me hard."

The stool was erected, and the criminal law of Dai Viet was modeled on that of the previous court, and the staff had to remove the trousers.The cool wind blew on the buttocks, and the effect of the medicine in Si Ya's body completely dissipated.Opening his eyes and looking around, the previous memory awakened.

"It's Erya, my second sister plotted against me, Madam, please spare her life. It was she who took me to the kang and escaped by herself..."

Yiyou has already figured this situation out, and if Siya fails to make the calculation, she will not secretly regret the bitter fruit she suffered, but will definitely pull her into the water without hesitation, trying to make her not get better.

But she wasn't worried at all, she had just explained what should be said.Preconceptions come first, except for those who make arrangements, who would believe Si Ya's nonsense.

Frowning with tears in her eyes, she looked at the county magistrate's wife: "The fourth younger sister is really spitting out blood. The first time the daughter of the people came back to the county office, she didn't have the hands and eyes of the sky, how can she arrange this matter."

With firm words, not only the wife of the county magistrate believed it, but even the magistrate did not consciously believe it.

"This lowly servant girl is still messing around at the moment. Listen to Madam, cover your mouth and beat me hard."

Most of the people in the courtyard are the wife of the county magistrate, and they are not afraid of strenuous effort at this moment, and they are working hard.Siya stared at Second Sister with a pair of cannibalistic eyes, she was the one who caused all this.

"Ma'am, can I take a step to speak?"

The two entered the room, separated by a distance, and Yiyou could feel the anger gushing out of her body.She understands very well that the woman in front of her will control her husband submissively all her life, and her only daughter is getting married recently.It was a great shame and humiliation for her to have an accident at this moment.

"lady."

"roll."

The voice of the magistrate outside the door faded away, and Si Ya's screams came up again.

"Not to plead with her?"

Yiyou shook her head, at this moment, Si Ya has already received her retribution, and the person who set up the trap is about to surface, and the wife of the magistrate's heart is similar to that.

Moreover, this matter happened in the county government office. The lady who has been running the place for many years will piece together the truth sooner or later. Why don't she admit it directly and give her the impression of knowing the current affairs.But there are some things that she won't say even if she is killed.

"Ma'am, a girl who has never read a book knows how to repay grievances with virtue. How to repay virtue. Madam must already know the ins and outs of what happened today."

"Are you admitting it?"

"The folk girl is just protecting herself. Everyone in Yunlin Village knows that the madam has a deep relationship with the county magistrate. And the fourth younger sister treats the folk girl too warmly today. The folk girl has just learned a lesson in Yunlin Village, so she will definitely be vigilant at this moment. It's just that the folks I never thought it would be such a consequence."

Mrs. Xian Cheng looked at the girl in front of her without saying a word, which made her appreciate her even more.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll stick you too?"

"Madam is a sensible person, and what's more, what the daughter of the people said is of great benefit to you and your son."

Speaking of son, any mother would be soft-hearted, and the county magistrate's wife is no exception.Reining in her momentum, she asked in disbelief: "Well, you...know?"

"Minnv also found out by coincidence. Minnv wants to use this matter to make a deal with Madam."

"You think you have room to bargain with me. I'll pull you out and beat you until you say so. No one in this county can stop me."

This woman is really difficult to deal with, she is more sensible than the county magistrate, that's only because the reference person is the county magistrate.Compared to others, she is terribly messy and entangled.

But she knew that she couldn't panic at the moment.The idea she had thought up since entering the gate of the county government has reached the most critical moment.Simply sitting on a chair, she poured herself a cup of tea.

"Ma'am, you can send someone to Yunlin Village to inquire. This year, I, Shen Yiyou, have passed through the gate of hell several times, and one of them almost lost my life. Would I be afraid of death and pain?

I can guarantee that once this matter comes out, it will be of great benefit to your son's future.If the wife is really unwilling, just pretend that this has never happened.I will go home with my father and tell my uncle to pick up Siya. "

When two powerhouses meet, it depends on who is stronger.The county magistrate's wife is strong, but Yiyou, who was the "second lady" in the backyard of the Chen family, pretends not to be weak.Now that she has hit the opponent's son's life gate, she is naturally sure of winning.

"tell me the story."

Yiyou no longer calls herself a civilian girl, and directly replies to her arrogant nature: "Madam, please listen to my conditions first."

"First, my second uncle can no longer be in charge of the Shen family; second, the business between my family and the county government will be done fairly in the future. Don't come to manage things one day, bring a wave of maids and servants to disperse the customers at the stall, and eat nonsense. Hai Yao procrastinated and refused to pay. Thirdly,..."

"You are whimsical. I never interfere in political affairs."

Yiyou was not annoyed, she drank a cup of tea, she laughed: "Ma'am, I actually admire your skills, this is something that no woman can learn, but you did it."

"Young lady, you know a lot. No wonder you have such a big idea at such a young age."

It turned out that she was annoyed by her second condition, so she hurriedly changed her statement: "The county government has a big business, and my wife has no shortage of melons and dates. But my house is completely bare, and the little thing between your fingers is enough for us to have enough food and clothing. "

"Go on..."

She even forgot the proud temperament of Mrs. Xiancheng, and almost fell short.After gathering her thoughts, she continued: "Third, I would like to trouble Madam to resettle my family from Yunlin Village to the county under any name. That's all, I guarantee that the following conditions will satisfy you."

After she finished speaking, she carefully observed the face of the woman opposite, and she was basically relieved to see that she didn't react too much.Although these things are extremely difficult for her family, for her it is just a matter of lip service.

Sure enough, the other person didn't even blink, and looked up at her: "Having said so much, your conditions should also be revealed."

After she finished speaking, she sneered, as if she couldn't believe it.She was so busy that she put down a big stall and bargained with a village girl here.
