Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Marriage Contract

When passing by the Lin Mansion, Mei Xueyan paused to take a look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I have lived in the Lin Mansion for more than ten years, and I have deep memories, but I have nothing to be nostalgic for. This plaque of the Lin family's house, everything seems more unfamiliar, Mei Xueyan is a little trance, a little melancholy, more of a reborn comfort.

Throwing away these messy thoughts, Mei Xueyan walked quickly to the county office.

Although Mei Xueyan is not interested in being an official, she has no choice but to earn money to support herself, so she has to find something to do.

The soldiers already recognized themselves, Mei Xueyan was unimpeded in the county office, and before she entered the house, she heard the scolding of Wu County's order.

"So what do you do now? The prefect is about to send someone to settle the accounts, you haven't calculated the accounts this year, you should always make it clear in the past few years, right? Look at it, now it's a mess of the bull's head and the horse's mouth, so you let me take this and explain it to the prefect? ”

There was a sound of slapping the table, and a smaller voice replied reluctantly.

"Lord Prefectural, you can't blame me for this...... The previous ledger was not well kept and was gnawed by rats, who can still see it? In addition, the previous chief bookkeepers made fake accounts and scribbled accounts, and it took me a month just to sort out and classify them......"

"Less explanation, I asked you to rewrite the accounts two months ago, you didn't pay attention to it earlier, and you haven't even finished writing three CDs until now, what's the use of me asking you to be the master book?"

"That ......"

"Hurry back and write!" Wu Xian Ling said angrily, "If this little thing can't be done well, I don't think you should be the master bookkeeper!" ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

After being scolded, when the people inside came out, their faces naturally turned black.

Mei Xueyan took a look at him, he was a talent in his early forties, and he should be the chief bookkeeper of the county government.

"I don't know if the students are coming, but the prefectural magistrate seems to be busy."

Seeing that it was Mei Xueyan, Wu County's order stretched his brows a little and motioned for her to be seated.

"Alas...... It's all a corpse vegetarian person, if it weren't for the time to employ people, I would have quit him a long time ago! Wu Xianling sighed and said, "Don't talk about this, girl, why do you have time to run to me today?" There was a lot of rumors outside, saying that you were about to marry Lin Sanlang, and you shouldn't stay in the house and prepare to get married. ”

After getting acquainted with Wu County, Wu County's order also rarely put on an official show, and spoke in private humorously and casually.

Mei Xueyan shook her head and chuckled: "The marriage can't be done, I have nothing to do with the Lin family in the future, I moved out of the Lin Mansion, and now I live in Jixiang Restaurant." ”

Wu Xianling's face changed suddenly, and he asked eagerly, "What's the matter?" What went wrong? Was it that kid from the Lin family who bullied you and kicked you out of the Lin Mansion? What a success! No, this martial artist is overbearing to outsiders, and he actually bullied his wife who didn't pass the door, go, I'll take you to talk to him, I'll reason with him! ”

As he spoke, he got up and pulled Mei Xueyan out.

Mei Xueyan smiled, Wu Xianling is usually calm, but in private he is a quick temper, he protects himself like an elder, Mei Xueyan feels warm in the bottom of her heart.

"Don't worry, Lord County, I want to withdraw from the marriage myself, but the marriage contract has not been taken back."

Wu Xian Ling didn't understand it yet, and asked, "Yourself?" Could it be that he did something treacherous? It must be that he is in the morning and evening, right? I regretted going to find the second miss of the Ma family again, but I didn't see that this bastard boy's character was so inferior, and he was angry with his own official......"

Mei Xueyan roughly explained: "It's me who doesn't speculate with him, so there's no need to delay each other...... I happen to want to ask Wu County Decree, if the party who is engaged to marry regrets the marriage, how to get the marriage contract back? ”

"Left and right are a matter of quarrel between the two sides, and there is no specific procedure."

Wu Xianling groaned: "If it's just a marriage contract, it's okay, most of it is a verbal promise, and if you regret the marriage, you will regret it, but you ...... It is the child daughter-in-law of the Lin family, like a slave, the master's family has an official seal deed, if you want to get it back, it is the same as redeeming your body, if the Lin family is holding the deed now, it will be troublesome. ”

Mei Xueyan nodded slightly, Mrs. Lu refused to give her the deed, and the answer was ambiguous, so Mei Xueyan could only be passive.

"Girl, your father and mother sold you ...... When you send it to the Lin Mansion, can you have the certificate of the official seal? ”

"At that time, I was too young to remember, and I can't remember what my father and mother looked like." Mei Xueyan thought for a moment and said, "I heard from the mother-in-law in the house that I was brought back by my wife, so I don't know if there is a deed or not." ”

Wu Xian Ling opened his mouth and said: "Then I have a way, the official government leaves two copies of the voucher, one for the master's family, and one for the government office, you can go to the old file to see if you can find it." ”

Mei Xueyan was unexpectedly happy: "Thank you Wu County Order!" ”

"Call me Uncle Wu inside, the county order listens to the shengfen." Wu Xian Ling stroked his beard and said, "Don't be too happy, I didn't take office ten years ago, and many archives will be destroyed at both ends, even if you have a credential back then, there is a chance that it has been lost, and I will send someone to help you go to the old file to find it carefully." ”

Mei Xueyan asked again: "Isn't it true that if you get a civil degree, you will automatically get out of slavery?" ”

"Jingguo does have this law, but child brides are different, and they are not included. Strictly speaking, a child bride is not a slave, but is from an ordinary poor family, which is similar to being sold into slavery, and if this contract is not eliminated, it is impossible to repent of the marriage and divorce. ”

Mei Xueyan has benefited a lot, and the people in her position know the details, she thought that getting a civil position was a free body, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

Wu Xianling asked with concern: "Do you want me to make the decision for you and ask the Lin family for the marriage contract?" ”

"I'm afraid it's useless."

Mei Xueyan said with some frustration, Lu's attitude was strange, she didn't care about her before, but now she is holding on to it, and she doesn't know what her purpose is.

"You're not just here today to inquire about the marriage contract, are you?"

Mei Xueyan chuckled: "I also asked for an errand, I thought about it carefully, instead of praying to the Lin Mansion in a low voice, it is better to stand on my own, the Lin family can be the queen of the gate, and I can also become a wealthy nobleman." ”

Wu Xianling laughed, and a little woman said this, which was a little funny and impressive.

"If you speak wildly, I know that you are a girl with a lot of ambitions."

Mei Xueyan's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "Don't talk about it, Uncle Wu has a suitable errand here?" ”

"Yes, yes, the county government is short of manpower, you have solved my urgent need." Wu Xian Ling paused and said, "How about going to assist the master of Ma and being a deputy chief bookkeeper?" ”
