Gu Zheng and Mo Xiaohe, husband and wife, once again came to the Yamen of the Luzhou Prefect to observe the public trial of the Wei Prefect's Mansion and became one of the witnesses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In these years, it is really difficult for people without foundation to do business, no wonder the merchants are cunning, they would rather give up money and spend a lot of money to give gifts, but also maintain a good relationship with local parents and officials, reluctant to let the children not find wolves, at the critical moment, it will be useful.

The Zhang family is a big merchant in Luzhou City, of course, they have to drill the way of camping, and the officials of the Yamen, no matter how big or small, almost bribe, because of this, the Huang family has no way to sue several times, so they believe that the Zhang family has a big backer behind them.

After the Wei Governor's Mansion tried the case, he was furious, these rabble of the yamen didn't know how much benefit they had received, he was fair and honest all his life, but when he was old, he was burdened with such a black cauldron, not only that, but because of his negligence, he also affected the Mo family.

"Husband, Governor Wei is really a good official."

Mo Xiaohe walked out of the yamen and sighed, because of the bad things in the yamen, Wei Zhifu was so angry that he fainted directly, after all, in the age of the sixtieth year, his body and bones could not be compared with the young man, and he was already powerless.

After doing his best and dying, it would be nice if Da Wu could have more good officials like this.

"Yes."

Gu Zheng nodded and acquiesced, they were still a step late after all, those members of the Zhang family were so arrogant that they threw rat poison into the Huang family's wine tank, if they really sold someone, they would die!

"Forget it, Luzhou is rich in fine wine, there is no Huang family, there will be other people's families, but it costs a little more silver."

The couple arrived to fetch the carriage, and it was sunset.

I found a noodle restaurant at random, the couple ordered a bowl of noodles, two plates of cold dishes, and ate a bite hastily, Mo Xiaohe was worried about the custom-made carriage, so he took advantage of the fact that it was not dark and went to make another trip to ensure that the horses were healthy and could travel far.

A few days passed in a flash, Mo Xiaohe bought a lot of needed items, and the carriage was almost unable to fit down, Gu Zheng considered preparing a carriage for his wife to transport the goods separately to meet her purchases along the way*.

A few days later, Uncle Jiang seemed to be a few years older, and I heard that he finally broke off the relationship with Jiang Tiezhu, and the father and son were like enemies.

"For so many years, even kittens and dogs have feelings, let alone people."

Uncle Jiang shook his head, that is Jiang Tiezhu married such a daughter-in-law, stirring up the family, as long as she is in one day, she will not be at peace, when people hear that it is his family, the matchmaker will not come to the door, and he will not introduce relatives to Tie Niu at all, the matchmaker said bluntly, I don't want to pit other people's daughters.

"Now that I've made a decision, I can't bear to let it go."

The villagers testified, and Jiang Tiezhu and the Jin family should not come to the door in the future. Uncle Jiang can also feel a little relieved when he goes far away, and he doesn't have to worry about the two of them making trouble, and his wife can't handle it.

On the day of departure, the people in the village went to the city to see each other off, and the little girl hid behind Aunt Jiang, her eyes were red, she held the sachet given to her by Mo Xiaohe tightly in her hand, wiped her tears with her sleeve, but did not cry.

The little girl is no longer innocent and lively, which makes Mo Xiaohe feel uncomfortable, she is a passerby, passing by here, there is always a day to leave, and there is a banquet in the world.

"Sister Xiaohe, except for my father and second brother, no one has ever been so good to me."

The little girl choked, and finally couldn't help it, howling and crying, at that moment, there was a dark sky, swallowing mountains and rivers, Mo Xiaohe hurriedly got out of the carriage and hugged the little girl in his arms.

Maybe it's fate, she also likes Xiaoya.

"Sister Xiaohe gave me fabrics, purses, bought me delicious food, taught me the truth, and taught me to write my name, woo woo ......"

The more Xiaoya talked, the more sad she became, she grew up in the village since she was a child, and only once or twice went out of the village, the girl in the village, doing some work at home, and there were no familiar sisters, and there were only two brothers at home.

"Little girl, there will be someone who will be so good to you in the future."

Mo Xiaohe touched Xiaoya's head, looking at the sky, everyone should go on the road immediately, and get out of the city gate of Luzhou before noon.

The surrounding villagers came to see them off and say goodbye to their families, Jiang Lao Wu, Feng Shi, and Feng Dachun had already packed their bags and waited next to the carriage.

"It would be nice if you could read and write, and you would be able to write letters to my sister in the future."

Mo Xiaohe took off a jade bracelet from her hand, the bracelet was still valuable, it was pit from the rabbit spirit Xu Yan back there, she put it on the little girl's hand, "Go back to Aunt Jiang, let her keep it for you, marry in the future, and make a dowry." ”

"If one day, my sister can still come to Luzhou, I will definitely go to see you."

The people in the caravan were all ready, and Mo Xiaohe couldn't delay any longer, she and Xiaoya ticked and made an agreement.

The carriage was driving on the wide road, gradually moving away, Mo Xiaohe opened the window and saw Aunt Jiang pulling Xiaoya to stand in place, the figure gradually blurred, only to see that Xiaoya was running after the carriage, and her little arms kept waving.

"Xiaoya, don't run, worry about wrestling!"

Mo Xiaohe's shouts were gradually carried away by the wind.

The meeting was too short, and when they were together, they felt nothing, but she began to feel melancholy for parting again, and she didn't know when it started, and she became sentimental.

"Lady, it's sunny outside, you better sit in the carriage and drink some chilled sour plum juice to relieve the heat."

Gu Zheng drove the way at the front, and when he saw his lady leaning out half of her body, she hurriedly said nervously.

"Husband, I've been in Luzhou for so long, and I'm suddenly reluctant to be here."

The most valuable thing on Mo Xiaohe's body is a few pieces of jewelry given to her by her mother-in-law Gu, as well as several precious medicinal materials, because she was taken care of by Wei Zhifu, she specially left a centuries-old mountain ginseng and gave it to Wei Zhifu to replenish his body.

"Big brother is rushing to take the exam, if it's high school, we'll come back to celebrate him."

Gu Zheng pinched Mo Xiaohe's face and comforted her, Mo Huaiyuan got married, they should also be there, it won't be too far away.

"Yes."

Mo Xiaohe sat back in the carriage and began to look at the books he found in Luzhou, all kinds of wind and snow, the daughter of the official family took a fancy to the poor scholar when she was incense, the two went through hardships together, and finally the poor scholar changed his mind after he became prosperous.

Either it was a woman who was as bitter as a little cabbage, met the young master of the official family, the two broke through the shackles of the world, and finally, the poor woman became the concubine of the young master of the official family, was tortured by the main room, had a miscarriage, and was bedridden in the end, and left in a few years.

Looking through a few books, they are all endings like this, it seems that in this era, whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, they attach great importance to right and wrong.

One line is nearly a day, the sky is already dark, and the willows are on the moon.

On the first day of going out, Mo Xiaohe bought meat buns for everyone in the bun shop, and at noon as a meal, they have been on the road, they have not left the boundary of Luzhou, along the way, they have to pass through three or four small counties under Luzhou.

"Let's stop here, on the first day, everyone is not very comfortable, step by step."

Today the departure time is a little late, the farewell is delayed for a while, the carriage is on the road, to avoid the vehicles, often break up the convoy, they have to wait in front, waiting for half an hour, walking a lot less than expected.

"Rest, rest!"

After a day of sunbathing, everyone in the village was a little dizzy, but everyone had done farm work, so it was naturally not a problem.

The convoy chartered a very small inn, and the carriage loaded with goods could not stop in the backyard, so he could only squeeze into the alley.

He slept lightly, and if there was a little wind and grass, he would definitely be able to find it.

"It's fine."

Gu Zheng nodded, today is a special situation, and I am afraid that everyone will not be able to adapt too much, so I found an inn, and when I go to Shangguan Road tomorrow, I will sleep in the wilderness at night.

"Xiaohe, what are we going to do at night?"

Feng Shi didn't do anything for a day, and she was a little uncomfortable, but now that everyone had just arrived at the inn, she couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask for work.

"I'm tired after a long day's walk, so let them go wash up."

Mo Xiaohe and Uncle Jiang said goodbye, and before going out, they bought more than a dozen catties of pork belly in the market, and simply marinated it with salt, but it was too hot to leave it for a few days.

The people in the village are very real, in order to save money for the couple on the road, they brought a lot of vegetables at home, Mo Xiaohe and Feng discussed, it was not good to eat too greasy at night, so they made a spinach vermicelli soup, made a fried beans, whether it was a vegetable or a soup, add meat.

Steamed rice with his own brought, Feng also plans to make more flower rolls and steamed buns if he has an early break tomorrow to make more flower rolls and steamed buns to fight hunger.

Washing vegetables, picking vegetables, cutting vegetables, cutting meat, stir-frying, two stoves, one for boiling soup, and one for stir-frying, Feng's was quite sharp, and soon the aroma of the meal came.

Mo Xiaohe barely helped, just the knife work of cutting vegetables, Feng Shi could throw her ten times.

When the meal was ready, the caravan people were already in place, and they praised Feng's craftsmanship, ordinary meals can make the level of a restaurant chef.

Feng Shi did not rush to eat, but took out some in a lunch box and sent it to Feng Dachun, who was watching the carriage outside.

The wind was cool at night, Mo Xiaohe stood by the window, looking into the distance, the town was very quiet, there were only a few scattered houses, lit dim oil lamps, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

"Da Chun, it was our family who was sorry for you back then."

At the door of the inn, a ragged man grabbed Feng Dachun's arm and begged, "Dachun, please!" ”

"Our peach blossom hasn't married yet, just to wait for you."

The man scratched his head, "Our family can't stand you, but Peach Blossom is innocent, she doesn't want to go, she is forced by our husband and wife, and we only have this one girl!" ”

The man was the neighbor of Feng Dachun's family back then, Feng Dachun helped the family, but they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they fled overnight, and he had no one to testify, and he squatted in prison for two years, suffered humiliation, and was pointed at in Fengjia Village.

"I can't afford it."

Feng Dachun said it categorically, this family made him feel cold back then, and now when he is in trouble, he comes to him again, is it because he is an honest man?
