The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 108

As if to testify to Lu Weiwei's words, as soon as she finished speaking, two yamen servants came over, "What's the matter? The street is so congested that cars and horses can't get through. Don't be afraid of being crowded and trampled. They're all scattered, all are scattered. -"

Few ordinary people are not afraid of official errands, and their fear of official errands is almost instinctive.

Seeing that there were indeed official missions coming, the timid ones dispersed in a swarm, leaving only a few courageous and curious people who stayed to watch, but they all spontaneously stayed away.

Finally, the gate of Li Ji Spice Shop was vacant.

Lu Weiwei also realized that apart from Chen San, there was also Xie Lingzhao who came with the two yamen servants.

She hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Xie Lingzhao, why are you here? You shouldn't be in class right now. Did you miss class again?"

Xie Lingzhao dared to face Lu Weiwei in front of everyone.

He also lowered his voice and said: "I didn't miss class, I told my teacher for leave. Well, I was in class and I suddenly felt a pain in my stomach, so I told my teacher for leave, and I planned to go home and take a rest, who knows I met Chen San on the way, and knew that you and Achang were in trouble. So, together with Chen San, we went to invite the yamen servant... This old woman is Achang's grandmother? Sure enough, it is not a good thing at first sight, I will clean it up for you She got it!"

Xie Lingzhao's stomachache is of course fake. The fact is that when he went to Gong's room between classes, people in Lu Weiwei's class said that she asked for leave and left in a hurry.

At that time, he hadn't taken it to heart, but when he returned to his classroom and started class, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still.

If something urgent happened to Lu Wei, then he must go to help him!

So he excused himself from a stomachache, temporarily asked his master for leave, and followed him out of the county school, and then met Chen San.

Otherwise, Chen San might not have been able to invite the two yamen servants so quickly. Although Lu Weiwei gave several taels of money, Chen San was just an insignificant person, and naturally he was far less respectable than Xie Lingzhao.

Lu Weiwei heard that Xie Lingzhao was not absent from class, so she nodded and said, "It's fine if you take a leave of absence, so is your stomach still hurting now?... Is it really not hurting? Okay, let's solve the trouble first. Since the yamen servants have already arrived, there is no need for you to deal with them , my cousin and I can handle it, just look at it."

Seeing her calm expression, Xie Lingzhao didn't say any more, and watched Li Chang and the two yamen servants together, "... two servants, that's the way it is. Although Mrs. Wu is related by blood, , is indeed my grandmother, but because of their family's unkindness, our mother and son have already severed ties with their family; and Mrs. Wu has children and grandchildren, and she didn't ask me for money from a person with a foreign surname, so that I can be filial to a person with a foreign surname. The reason. Where should her children and grandchildren be placed? Isn’t it clear that they are not filial? Our Dazhou has always ruled the world with filial piety, and the county lords also value filial piety and etiquette. I would like to ask the two messengers to help to preside over justice .”

What Li Chang said was well-founded, Xie Lingzhao first praised in a low voice: "Ah Chang has really learned from experience these days. He is always a careless person, but he did not expect to encounter serious things. He is quite good at speaking and looks good. of."

Lu Weiwei was also very relieved, "I was so angry just now, I was worried that he might do something impulsively. I don't want to calm down so quickly, just like you said, these days are really out of experience. "

Since the two yamen servants were invited by Li Ji, it is needless to say who they are looking for, let alone Xie Lingzhao, the God of Wealth, there are not many places for yamen servants to get money on weekdays. Of course, the real rich and noble sons should be praised.

One of them yelled at Grandma Wu, "What's the matter with you, woman, you have both sons and grandchildren, and you come here to blackmail your grandson what to do, and the grandson's surname is Li and not Wu, you want to put on the prestige of your old mother and grandma, and rush at me!" Put your own children and grandchildren away!"

The other also said: "That's right, they are not married. What about your sons and grandchildren, don't they want to raise you, so they deliberately threw you here? This is not possible, such unfilial descendants, the county The venerable will be furious if he finds out. Brother Liu, do you think we should go back and report to the county venerable, and then go get those unfilial descendants, or just go get them and go back to see the county lord?"

"It's all right, anyway, the county lord will only praise us anyway, maybe there will be rewards, whoever makes the county lord hate the most is the unfilial sons and grandchildren..."

The two talked as if no one else was there, and Grandma Wu's face was ashen on the stretcher.

How could this be so, the unfilial ones are obviously Li Chengdong and Wu Chunxiang who have no conscience, and it's Li Chang, the little bastard, how can she talk about it, but her sons and grandchildren are unfilial?If her sons and grandchildren were not filial, if they hadn't been able to take care of her these days, she would have died long ago, how could they bother with their surname Li now?
I also thought that Li Chengdong had gone to Half-Life, and I heard that Li Ji's big shopkeeper had also left, and the business was not getting better day by day, maybe it would collapse at any time, and now she called at the door, and Li Chang was a grandson again, Surely she can only let her say what she says.

It's also good to let out the bad breath that the whole family has suppressed for such a long time, and more importantly, to recover all the losses of the family. Anyway, the Li family has a solid foundation. Even if the business is not good now, it will cost 80 taels Surely it can be taken out casually.

Who knows, she made a good plan, but she just watched it come to nothing, and the servants wanted to take her sons and grandchildren to the officials and put them in prison. What kind of good place is that prison cell? ...

The more Grandma Wu thought about it, the more frightened she became, this time she really cried, "Please don't arrest my sons and grandchildren, they are filial to me, really, they think of me first when they have anything delicious, I was sick before , They went to Linxian County to grab the medicine and bring it back to me. They never think the medicine is expensive, as long as I can get well. I don’t lie to you, my son and grandchildren are very good to me, please don’t catch me They go to jail..."

The two yamen servants raised their eyebrows, "We are not fools, we are really kind to you, and we can throw you on the street in hot weather, regardless of your life or death? We are also sons, anyway, we can't do such a thing."

"No, if my mother is still here with her son, she would want her brothers and sisters-in-law to be filial to her, asking for money, this or that, I'd be ashamed to death."

"If your sons and grandchildren take you away immediately, we will believe them to be filial and not arrest them, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

Grandma Wu cried even louder.

I hope that Uncle Wu and others who are hiding in the dark will show up immediately and carry her away, so as not to be convicted of "unfilial piety" and let the messengers arrest them; It will be taken down by poor men.

The messengers all have knives in their waists, and they are people who eat like an official. They really can't be provoked by people like them!
Fortunately, she was afraid, and uncle Wu and his brothers who were hiding in the dark were also afraid. They didn't know that the crime of unfilial piety was so great. Wu Dong, who was with them, had been studying for two years at least, knew it.

Urging them anxiously, "Father, Second Uncle and Third Uncle, hurry up, when the messengers really arrest us and go to jail, our family's reputation will be even worse, and we don't know how much we will suffer in prison." , how much you suffer!"

Uncle Wu's three brothers had no choice but to blush, and ran to Grandma Wu, "Mother, we've finished our work, and you should rest too? Then let's go home..."

Then he lifted Grandma Wu, lowered her head and walked forward involuntarily, not daring to look at the faces of the two yamen servants, nor the faces of the people around her, to listen to what they had to say.

But the contempt and swearing from the people around still reached their ears, "Aha, you are really hiding in the dark and watching, it's nothing at all, you use your old lady as a gunman, and you can get the benefits from behind, thinking about money and thinking about it." Crazy!"

"I was able to do such a black-hearted thing back then, cheating my sister and niece like that, so why is it so strange to do such a thing now?"

"Just now, I really wanted to use us onlookers to force the young master of the Li family to agree to their request! Those people kept saying something like 'I'm my grandma' and 'I have to forgive others'. If the person in charge changed me, I would spit on their faces and never communicate with each other. Fortunately, the bad guys came, otherwise, Young Master Li and Young Master Li Jiabiao, who are two and a half older children, would have been bullied by them..."

Uncle Wu's three brothers were so ashamed that they wished the ground would immediately open a crack so that they could slip in.

Fortunately, no one stopped them from behind, especially the messengers did not stop them, the three brothers, Grandma Wu and Uncle Wu, were ashamed and afraid, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the city, seeing no one around, and breathing out the rest of the breath, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren felt alive.

Grandma Wu immediately started crying and cursing, "You son of a thousand knives, you have no conscience, I should have pinned his mother to death in the blood basin, I'm so pissed off!"

He said ruthlessly again, "Wait, I'm sure I'm going to say this sooner or later. They have to make up for our family's loss tenfold, or I'll be a ghost after I die, and they won't be able to spare them!"

Uncle Wu and the three brothers hurriedly looked around for a while, and after making sure that there was really no one around, they all said, "Forget it, mother, don't worry about it, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if it's brother-in-law... Li Chengdong has gone Half-Life, the spice shop is about to collapse, that’s not something we can afford, let’s forget it.”

Of course, the brothers hated Li Chengdong and the whole Li family in their hearts, and were also worried about their children's marriage, but today's idea was really not theirs, it was Grandma Wu's idea, and they all listened to their old mother.

It's a pity that looking at it now, the old lady didn't listen to what she said, and almost sent the whole family to the prison. It would be too late to regret it!

Wu Dong also said: "Grandma, I just heard that the noble young master standing with Li Chang and Lu Wei is the son of a high-ranking official in the capital, and even the county elders will show some face when they see each other. Now we all know that he is the best with Li Chang and Lu Wei. Even if my uncle... falls down now, it is impossible for their family to become a soft persimmon, we can pinch it as we want, we can talk about it later."

He said in his heart that his family is not bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but just judging the situation. It can't be that the Li family will have good luck all their lives, can they not be unlucky?

When their family is prosperous in the future, but the Li family is out of luck, it will not be too late to make them look good. Anyway, the saints have said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years!

Xie Lingzhao was so conspicuous in appearance and conspicuous in his attire, even at that time, Grandma Wu was afraid and hated, and panicked, but she still saw it.

Hearing Wu Dong say that Xie Lingzhao is the son of a big family in the capital, and even the magistrate of the county wants to give face, he vented his breath immediately, "God is blind, and let such a noble son befriend them, what is the noble master planning? That little bastard from the Lu family looks like a girl's family. Could it be that the nobleman is a rabbit master? Hmph, it's a big deal. At some point, the son will become the nobleman's plaything. That's true. out of my eyes..."

I had no choice but to curse and let my sons and grandchildren carry me, and I went home in despair.

Besides, Lu Weiwei and Li Chang also let out a long breath when they saw that Uncle Wu and the others had finally carried Grandma Wu away in disgrace.

If Grandma Wu continues to pester me, Li Ji really doesn't need to do business. Otherwise, why do business people pay attention to "harmony makes money"?
Even now that the person has finally left, it must have had a direct or indirect impact on their family's business.

Li Chang hurriedly thanked the two yamen servants, "I really want to thank the two servants for upholding justice. My father is ill, so I can't thank you in person for the time being. I can only thank the two servants in person after my father recovers. It's already noon, why don't I be the host, treat the two servants to a light meal, and treat the two of you to a favor."

The two yamen servants all looked at Xie Lingzhao's face, and said with a smile: "Young Master Li, you are welcome, it's a piece of cake. We still have official business, so we won't bother you. Let's take our leave first. Young Master Li's meal will wait until next time. Eat it when you get the chance."

Xie Lingzhao was very satisfied when he saw the two of them on the road, he casually took out a piece of silver, and handed it to the guard who was closer to him, "Since you two have official duties, I won't delay you." , but no matter how busy you are on business, you still have to have tea, right? This money should be regarded as my invitation to treat you two to tea."

As soon as the yamen servant got the money, he weighed out at least three or four taels, and then thought of the two taels that Chen San gave when he went to invite them. Today's trip would be divided into two months' monthly money for each person, and he was overjoyed.

Hurrying to wink at his companions, the two of them thanked Xie Lingzhao for a pass, and expressed their attitude to Li Changlu Weiwei, "Don't worry, you two young masters. We will often patrol here in the future, and we will not dare to cause trouble again. people."

Just said goodbye and left.
