In the next few days, Man Qing had nothing to do, and what he thought about every day was how to make Zhang Ye eat better, dress warmer, and be in good spirits. Thinking that he might have to testify about Lord Zhang's sins in a few days, Zhang Ye said that he would keep his beard first, and then he would be pitiful - he couldn't be so pitiful in prison without leaving any traces, and the old men from the government would think how nourishing he was in prison.

Man Qing observes his face every day, he looks better, and his body is slowly getting stronger, but he still has a big beard, and he doesn't really see it.

Zhang Ye often looks at her little actions and feels funny and heartwarming, if it weren't for the last little thing, this little day would be too comfortable!

During the day, Manqing served him with delicious food and drink, and at night he hugged his little lady left and right to eat some tofu - it was useless for Manqing to struggle, he was now thick-skinned, and his strength was slowly recovering, and the little lady was not his opponent.

It's a pity it's not at home.

It's a pity that we won't be able to get married until next spring.

Hey, let's keep boiling.

Seven or eight days later, Zhang Ye received a notice from the Yamen, asking him to go to the Yamen in three days and testify about the former county Taizhang Lord.

After waiting for a long time and finally waiting for this day, Zhang Ye and Man Qing both ate a few more bowls of rice in the evening, hugged and kissed several times.

The day before going to the Yamen, Zhang Ye went out to find his former partner to inquire about the news, and Man Qing was reading a book in the inn alone, and an uninvited guest came to the door.

When the shopkeeper came to report, Man Qing was still wondering, she had no acquaintances in this county, and Zhang Ye was an orphan, and she didn't hear any acquaintances. When she hurriedly came downstairs, she was startled, and what she saw was Liu Xiaowan with a haggard face.

Since Liu Xiaowan was rejected by Zhang Ye, it was useless to return to Zhang's house, and soon returned to Liu's house in the countryside. But the Liu family sent their daughter out with hope, and now they have sent it back without getting anything, and they can't help but be a little dissatisfied with their words. Later, the Liu family also felt that this was not good, and their daughter still couldn't be too high, so they looked left and right, and found a merchant for Liu Xiaowan, who would also pass through next spring.

To say, Man Qing has to be glad for this Liu Xiaowan, she was not promised to the person who is called Qin Ye, or it will be really ruined in this life - this time Master Zhang is on trial, what Qin Ye is the most important accomplice, and he is also on trial in court.

Man Qing beckoned Liu Xiaowan to the table by the window, asked Xiao Er to make tea, and the two sat down politely.

Liu Xiaowan looked at the girl in front of her, and felt very uncomfortable. If the last time I saw a yellow-haired girl from the countryside, the girl in front of me seemed to have the scorching demeanor of a girl: a simple bun, only a silver hairpin; the hair was blue, the skin was porcelain-white, the eyebrows were slightly light, but they were also clear and picturesque; the eyes were very clear, black and white; the nose was straight, the lips were small and lovely, and the red from the inside to the outside was a little bit clear. The facial features that don't look amazing are very fresh and durable when placed on that fair-skinned goose egg face.

No, how can you feel fresh and durable now? Didn't you think it was a nasty yellow-haired girl no matter how you looked at it before?

Man Qing was also looking at Liu Xiaowan. Unlike the last time we met, she was bright, and this time she was obviously low-key and haggard: there were not so many hairpins on her head, the powder on her face was not so thick, her complexion seemed to be darker, and her eyes were not so fixed......

"I don't know Miss Liu is coming to me, but what's the matter?"

Liu Xiaowan's expression changed several times, and in the end, there was still no way to compliment this country girl who didn't look at her at all in the past, "Miss Gao, I know that my uncle will be sentenced tomorrow, and I also know that Zhang-big brother will also go tomorrow, I, I also know that it's not good to come to you like this, but, can you - be tolerant, I, my aunt has no way to think about it now, I just ask you to be magnanimous and let them go!"

Stumbling, but the meaning is still clear. Although Man Qing had already expected it, when the other party really said everything, the helplessness in his heart was not less at all. She exhaled, told herself not to be angry with these unrelated people, and then calmly poured a pot of tea for the person opposite, watching her silently.

"I, I know it's a bit embarrassing for you to say that, but-" Manqing, who didn't speak, made her more embarrassed and embarrassed than Manqing, who scolded her.

Man Qing took over unhurriedly, "But your aunt asked you to come, right?"

Even that Mrs. Liu still knows a little cheeky, so she didn't come directly. If it was her, Manqing didn't know if she could maintain such a good demeanor.

Liu Xiaowan lowered her head and acquiesced.

"Since Mrs. Liu asked you to come, you also came, and you have said something, if there is nothing to do, you can go back to the business now. ”

"Huh?" Liu Xiaowan looked up in surprise, "But—"

"I don't have anything to say to you, because what you're talking about is impossible. Man Qing took a sip of tea, and felt that the boiled water at home was still delicious, so he put it down, "First, it's not up to us to decide how to judge, this matter is so big, it has already caused trouble, do you think a few of us Dousheng Xiaomin can decide? Second, even if we can influence it, why should we help your aunt and them? If we hadn't figured out a way to deal with this matter, we would still be sitting in the cell now! So, I don't want to be angry with you, so you can go back as you came to be." ”

Liu Xiaowan's eyes were red for a long time, and then she pondered for a while, as if she had suddenly figured it out, sighed, and her shoulders relaxed a lot, "You're right." My aunt asked me to do it, and I did, but as for the outcome, it's not for me to decide. As she spoke, she looked up at the guest room inside, "Is Brother Zhang here?"

Man Qing felt that this "big brother" was a bit harsh, but she didn't want to pick on it, so she shook her head.

Now Liu Xiaowan could only smile bitterly, "You are lucky, I admire you very much, and I bless you." ”

Liu Xiaowan left, and Man Qing saw that the pot of tea that cost money didn't move at all, and decided that it was a pity, so she simply sat in the lobby drinking tea and reading a book, and waited for Zhang Ye to come back.

When Zhang Ye came back, the sky was about to darken, and it was almost time for dinner. As soon as he turned his head and saw Man Qing sitting in the lobby, he felt strange and sat down too.

"Liu Xiaowan came to me in the afternoon," Man Qing put the book aside, "Have you eaten, let's order two dishes?"

"Okay, I'll ask Xiao Er to serve us two dishes. - Who is Liu Xiaowan?"

Man Qing looked at him playfully, "I really don't know?"

Zhang Ye frowned and scratched his beard, "I really don't know—you know, where did I know any girl!"

"Haha, you don't know, how do you know she's a girl?"

Zhang Ye looked at her helplessly and stopped talking, and his eyes were full of the words "don't be unreasonable".

"It's the niece of Mrs. Liu, the wife of Lord Zhang, who came to the river and wanted to say that she was your wife, don't you remember?"

"Is that a little dark girl? Oh, her name is Liu Xiaowan. Zhang Ye called Xiao Er and gave two instructions, and poured himself tea and drink, not caring about the name at all.

"Guess what she's coming to me for today. ”

"It's still a guess, I must want me to let them go tomorrow and help them say good things in turn. How did you get back to her?"

"I said it couldn't be. Man Qing looked at him with a calm look in his eyes, "I don't care what you say, anyway, I mean it's impossible." ”

Zhang Ye laughed, and reached out to pinch her increasingly white and red face, "You little roundworm, how do you know that I am also these words? I am not squeezed by the door, how can I agree? You don't have to worry about me being angry, you can say whatever you want, what you say is what I mean!"

On the day he went to Yamen, Zhang Ye didn't let Man Qing go, so he asked her to wait at home. The pool of water is too deep, although he will soon turn the page, he still doesn't want Man Qing to know too much, so as to make a guarantee for the future.
