"That's what I'm trying to say."

Cheng Jianniang's voice echoed in the narrow room.

"There is no dowry for a married woman, and it is still a dowry kept by my mother, can you testify in court?"

testify

Second Mrs. Cheng was in a trance, and she suddenly couldn't remember what she was going to do here this big night.

She first heard that the people of the Zhou family went to rob those shops and granges in Ming, and she was also shocked at the time, but she didn't take it seriously, how could she say that she could rob it, and then she heard that it was not only a robbery, but also a letter to the government, saying that it was a dowry!

It is not surprising that the Zhou family wants a dowry, and she expected that such a big battle is not just for money, in fact, it would be strange if the Zhou family didn't want it.

She also made up her mind, instead of drinking soup with Dafang, it is better to share meat with the Zhou family, speaking of which, they are the most qualified people to decide this matter, because they have the greatest confidence, they are Cheng Jianniang's parents, the first person to decide the marriage event, as long as they dare to tear their faces with Dafang.

Before she could think carefully about how to tear her face with the big house, she heard Cheng Jianniang hand over the dowry to the government to cut off the dowry, and Mrs. Cheng was immediately overjoyed.

In this way, when it comes to the dowry again, they don't have to show up in the second room, just wait for the Zhou family and the big house sandpiper to compete, and they will benefit.

And the only thing they had to do was coax this fool to make her listen to them.

So she said tonight that she moved Cheng Er's master to visit Cheng Jianniang, firstly to express her indignation and concern, and secondly, to tell her that they decided to pick another family affair for her, so there is no need to worry about the family affairs agreed on the side of the big house. Don't worry, boldly make trouble with the big house.

But what's going on now?

They haven't said a word yet. None of the goals have been achieved. was handed a knife, and asked them to use this knife to stab Dafang fiercely.

How did the troublemakers become them? This, that's not right

Second Mrs. Cheng felt that her brain was a little messy.

"Jiaojiaoniang, this matter is considered in the long run." She stammered.

"Are you really going to court?" Second Master Cheng came back to his senses and was shocked and angry, and said, "Your unmarried daughter is going to court because of the dowry, are you ashamed!" And we have to testify! You..."

"In that case, please go back." Cheng Jianniang said. While leaning over, salute.

And coercion! Second Master Cheng flicked his sleeves and was about to get up, but Second Mrs. Cheng hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold it.

"Jiao Niang, your father is also thinking about your reputation." She hurriedly said, while hurriedly turning the topic to what she had originally planned, "Jiao Niang, we have something to tell you today..."

"Everything will be said until the dowry is clearly broken." Cheng Jianniang saluted again, not in a hurry or impatient, "It's not too early, you should rest early." ”

Checkmate!

Second Master Cheng and Second Lady Cheng looked stunned again.

"Yes, it's a family affair, there is a good family affair..."Second Mrs. Cheng was a little stammered and said anxiously.

"There is no dowry. There is no family affair. Cheng Jianniang interrupted her and stood up. I'm going to rest. ”

With her words, Banqin under the porch immediately shouted to send the second master and the second lady, and a few entourages standing in the courtyard walked forward quickly.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, the shitty thing dares to push me!"

The angry voice of Second Master Cheng sounded in the room.

"Don't push, who wants to be here with you!"

"Jiao Niang, this is a good family matter, you just listen to me..."

Pulling the middle of the way to the lady turned a deaf ear to their words and turned around in front of the screen.

Second Mrs. Cheng was protected by the servants, blocking the push of the Zhou family's entourage, and through the shaking shoulders of the waving arms, she saw the back of the woman standing on the screen, and the brocade robe hung on the ground like water in the dim light, just like the white feather arrows on the side of the table flashed with cold light.

If you don't show some sincerity, all the benefits will belong to the Zhou family!

"We testify, we testify." Second Mrs. Cheng blurted out.

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Er looked at her in disbelief.

The room also quieted down, and the Zhou family's originally fierce entourage turned into a docile lamb and retreated, and Cheng Jiaoniang in front of the screen turned around and smiled slightly.

"You may be seated." She stretched out her hand to please, and looked at Banqin standing by the door, "Serve tea." ”

…………………………

When the sky was bright, Master Cheng had already taken a car to the mansion, and Song Xian, the prefect of Jiangzhou, lived in the courtyard equipped behind the official office.

Song Xian has been serving in Jiangzhou for three years, and he is very familiar with everything in Jiangzhou, and he naturally has a good relationship with Master Cheng.

In the study, Song Xian, who was wearing a Taoist robe, greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Zhongwen, what a coincidence that you came today, I was brewing a new sencha to try." He opened his hand and smiled.

Master Cheng also smiled.

"The strange way smells a little fragrant, and it doesn't look like a drink." He said.

The two entered the study hand in hand, and there was indeed a tea set on the short couch, and the guests and hosts sat down and chatted for a while.

"What's the matter with Zhongwen?" Song Zhifu asked with a smile while pouring tea.

He has been up and down in the sea for so many years, so naturally he doesn't really think that Master Cheng came to smell the fragrance of his tea.

Master Cheng didn't say it immediately, but sighed and took a sip of tea.

"I'm ashamed to say it, it's my family's misfortune." He said, and then told the story.

"Is that so?" Song Zhifu was very surprised when he heard this, and almost threw down the teapot in his hand.

Because it was said yesterday, the official operated to hide this matter, and he didn't know whether the festival was negligent or greedy, so he didn't even come to talk to the prefect.

If all officials are the same, Song Xian's most taboo and disgusting thing is that his subordinates do not take themselves seriously, the so-called letting go of it, I can only do it if I promise you to do it, I don't allow you to do it, you can't do it.

"So adults don't know?" Master Cheng also expressed surprise, with a little apology, "It's my mistake to blame the adult." I thought adults had something to do with me. Or maybe the Zhou family is helpless......"

Governor Song's face was even more ugly.

The capital returned to the German Lang general, and the Zhou family was an official. But so what? A military general, a Beijing official, also dared to stretch his hand to his territory, and also provoked his subordinates.

Will he be bullied when his term expires? Before the person leaves, is the tea going to be cold?

The more Song Zhifu thought about it, the more angry he became, and his hand snapped on a few cases.

"What's going on? I'm not in good health, but I'm not dead yet! He shouted, getting up, "Zhongwen, you'll be here later." I'll ask what's going on. ”

Master Cheng hurriedly got up to give a salute, and watched the prefect leave with a black face, he shook his shirt, sat back on the short couch, took the tea set and began to cook tea, while humming a small song softly, full of relaxation and comfort.

Old Shaanxi Zhou, old Shaanxi Zhou, do you think that if you don't pretend to be stupid, you can let her use it as a knife for you in front of the world? A young man is a young man, and a woman is ignorant. Who can be scared if you dare to use this method?

This method is not unusable. But she shouldn't not say hello to the prefect, but only envelop the festival magistrate, there are obviously tigers in the mountains, how can she allow the monkey to be the king?

However, if they came to the prefect at the beginning, fought for the family property, and the son sued the father, coupled with the relationship between the prefect and themselves, it is estimated that they would be able to tie up and send the Cheng family on the spot.

Only an uninformed and money-greedy person like the festival magistrate will be bluffed by the name of the Zhou family.

Master Cheng shook his head and laughed, and poured the boiling tea into the cup.

If you want to say that the tea here in the prefect is not bad, but it is still worse than what he eats, if this matter is done, I will send some love to the prefect, so that he can open his eyes to what is really good tea.

Banqin walked in from outside the door and saw Cheng Jianniang putting away her bow and arrows, and Jin Ge'er was happily counting the grass targets.

"Lady." Banqin said, took the cloak on the side and put it on Cheng Jianniang, "The children at the corner of the street said that the eldest master went to see the prefect." ”

Cheng Jianniang hummed and turned around and entered the house.

"They said that the eldest lord and the prefect have a good relationship." Banqin said again.

"Relationship?" Cheng Jianniang said, while taking off her cloak, "It's better to have more reliable rules." ”

Banqin was still a little apprehensive.

"Lady, should we make some other plans?" She said, "The people from the Qin family came to see me, saying that I don't know if I can meet the lady, what the second lady said last night is true, it turns out that Mrs. Qin really told you a lot of kisses."

Cheng Jianniang smiled.

"There's no need to do anything else now." She said, smiling slightly, "If Cao Gui and the others didn't go to prison yesterday, we would have to make other plans, and if they entered, it would be fine." ”

It's okay?

Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand to spread her hair.

"I said that relationships, favors, are better than rules, and those who have no favors are the most reliable." She said, turning her head to Banqin and smiling slightly, "And judging from yesterday's results, this pusher is a reliable person." ”

Is this pusher reliable?

Banqin is still puzzled, but things in the world don't need to be so clear, she just needs to know who she is following.

Some people show the way, others walk, each in their own way.

"Lady, the slave is waiting for you to wash." She said.

"What? Can't get out? At this time, the Song prefect was surprised when he heard the reply of his subordinates, and immediately became even more angry.

This Li Tuiguan really had stiff wings, and he dared to openly disobey his orders.

"My lord, Master Li said that not only can't you fight out, but you also have to be promoted." Said in person.

"This kind of case that violates ethics will be promoted?" Governor Song said angrily, "Is that little Carpenter Li stupid by the name of the Beijing official?" This is Jiangzhou, not the capital! ”

Jietui's ancestors were born as carpenters, and he was still a carpenter until his father's generation, so he privately called the carpenter child, of course, this kind of contempt, ridicule and ridicule can only be heard in the mouth of the head or when he is dissatisfied with Li Jietui.

The prefect of Song called Li Jietui like this, which shows that he was really angry.

"My lord, Li Jietui said that he took Cheng Niangzi's dowry, but it was not this, it was the brawl that people sued." "And the main culprit surrendered himself, so the victim must be summoned to testify." ”

How so? Is that okay too?

Governor Song frowned and twisted his beard for a moment.

"It's treacherous!" He brushed his sleeves and sneered, "I can come up with such an idea of taking over the form and ascending to the court, the carpenter child does not live up to the name of the carpenter, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the hall will be promoted, I want to see, this week's family is playing tricks and forcing complaints, do you think that the officials of my Jiangzhou Mansion are all carpenters?"
