After an unknown number of days, Ah Jiu never succeeded in escaping from prison, his beard grew a lot, the money bag had already been searched by the unscrupulous jailer for his own use, and the living conditions in the prison were even worse to the end.

Taishou Mansion, Ma Taishou's family of four is eating around a table, the table is full of delicacies, Steward Guo and Lingling are waiting next to them, Wenxiu because he failed to give a gift, but he saved a big expense, and used the money to buy back a bunch of rice, flour, grain, cattle, sheep and livestock.

"Xiu, you're back, there's a particularly tricky prisoner in the prison, I'm afraid that executing him rashly will turn him into a ghost."

"If you become a ghost, you will accept him, what kind of prisoner is so tricky?"

"It's the weirdo who took your letter and asked for money, and he asked me for 10,000 taels when he opened his mouth, and he was just crazy."

"Is that him?" Wen Xiu frowned: "What crime did he commit?" ”

"This?" Ma Taishou thought for a while and explained: "He killed someone, no, what's more, he also tried to assassinate the court official, the crime is added to the first degree, you don't know what he bit his father into, it's just a blur of flesh and blood and miserable." ”

"Who did you kill and why did you kill someone?"

"Killed Wen Da, who opened a restaurant in the city, because, because Wen Da didn't believe him, he explained it in court."

"Don't believe me? What is the reason for this? Wenxiu frowned and pondered.

At this time, Ma Taishou looked at Wencai again and asked expectantly: "Wencai, how did you do in the exam this time, can you get in?" ”

Wen Cai was eating with his head down, and when he heard the question, he raised his head: "Ken, Ken, Ken, definitely, definitely can't pass the test." ”

Ma Taishou shook his head and sighed, and showed a lot of disappointment, as if this was expected, knowing that his son was more than his father, he comforted him: "No one can pass the exam at one time, don't be discouraged, and then take the exam in three years, for my father, I believe that you will be able to be named on the gold list and glorify the lintel of my Ma family." ”

"I can't pass the test, the test, and the retest, so I will go to Zhu's family to propose my relatives." Wen Cai said while eating, squirting rice with his mouth.

"Zhujia? That Zhu family? ”

"It's thirty miles south of the city, Zhujiazhuang Zhuyuan's family, and my brother's daughter Zhuyingtai."

Ma Taishou said: "Our Ma family is the home of the eunuchs, and the Zhu family is just a rich man, this door is not appropriate, the household is wrong." ”

"It's true that he wishes the family to climb our Ma family, but since Wencai likes it, it's not impossible for us to lower the conditions a little." Mrs. Ma persuaded beside her.

"Mention, propose, I will not marry if I am not British or Taiwan." Wen Cai made a fuss at the dinner table.

On death row, the jailer opened the cell door: "Lin Jiu, someone has come to see you." ”

Ah Jiu raised his head, only to see a beautiful young man in white walk in, "It's you?" ”

"You killed someone?" Wenxiu asked.

Ah Jiu distinguished: "This is all your father's torture to extract a confession, I confessed so not to be beaten, I didn't expect him to behead me, it's really wronged." ”

"I will persuade my father to retry this case." After Wen Xiu finished speaking, he walked out of death row, and the jailer came over and closed the door again.

In the evening, the jailer brought a pot of stuffy rice and a plate of cooked beef, the meat was fragrant, but Ah Jiu couldn't eat this delicacy, Ah Jiu would rather drink porridge.

"Brother Jailer, am I going to the execution ground again?" Ah Jiu asked with a bitter face.

"It's okay, this is not a severed head meal, it was ordered by the eldest lady to be ordered to eat for you."

"Miss, it's the lady of that family, hey." Ah Jiu wanted to ask again, but the jailer didn't stay long, and left after delivering the meal.

"Did you steal it?" Sitting down and muttering, Ah Jiu always felt that there were a few slices of meat missing from his plate.

The next morning, Mrs. Ma took Wencai to Zhu's house in person to propose marriage, and Mrs. Zhu came out to greet her in a panic: "Mrs. Ma, you are here, you are shining, I wish someone to be late to greet you, and please Mrs. Ma not to be surprised." ”

"It's okay." Mrs. Ma pointed to the side and introduced: "This is a child's literary talent." ”

"Little, little nephew, see, pig, pig Shibo." Wen Cai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Oh, Ling Gongzi is really a talented jade tree in the wind." Zhu Taigong twisted his beard and nodded his head and praised again and again.

"Hehehe, over, over, over, over."

"Mrs. Ma, please." Zhu Taigong welcomed the two into the living room and asked, "I don't know why Mrs. Ma is here in the cold house?" ”

Mrs. Ma said: "I'm here for Xiao'er's marriage this time, what about Ling's daughter?" ”

Zhu Taigong immediately said to the maid beside him: "Yinxin, please come over quickly." Zhu Yingtai learned that someone came to the door to propose, dressed up and ran out happily, and when he saw that it was not the person he wanted to see, his smile disappeared immediately, and he asked coldly: "Ma Wencai, what are you doing here?" ”

"Mention, mention, propose, hehehehe." Wen Cai looked at Zhu Yingtai and smirked.

"What kind of pro do you mention, this family can't do anything, you can go." Zhu Yingtai coldly ordered the expulsion.

Mrs. Ma's face immediately sank: "This is how your Zhu family disciplines your daughter?" ”

"Yingtai, don't be rude." Zhu Taigong hurriedly scolded him.

"Hmph, Ma Wencai, you still have to die, Miss Ben won't marry you even if she dies." Zhu Yingtai walked out of the living room in a huff after speaking.

Zhu Taigong hurriedly laughed and said: "Mrs. Ma, Mr. Ma, let the two of you laugh, the little girl has been pampered since she was a child, and I spoiled her." ”

"Hmph, I can't laugh at it, Zhu Taigong, this family business?" Mrs. Ma asked again.

"This, this, my Zhu family is a small family, but I am afraid that I will not be able to climb high, and I am also a little girl who does not know the etiquette of the village girl, and she is not worthy of Ling Gongzi."

"Worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy." Wen Cai was anxious: "If you don't marry Yingtai to me, I, I won't leave." ”

Zhu Taigong's face was extremely ugly, and he didn't dare to attack, Mrs. Ma pretended not to see it, and let Wencai make trouble in Zhu's house.

Zhu Taigong didn't say anything for a long time, Mrs. Ma said: "Since Taigong has no opinion, this family matter is so decided, we will stay at the dowry, and in three months we will come to pick up Miss Zhu through the door, Wencai, let's go." ”

"Three, three months, too, too long."

According to the marriage custom, the Son of Heaven is one year, the princes are half a year, the doctors are one season, and the common people are one month.

Mrs. Ma thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's take a month, and then we will pick up Miss Zhu through the door." After speaking, he pulled the text and walked out.

"Let me stay a little longer, stay a little longer." Wencai is still reluctant to go.

"This, this, discuss it again, alas." Zhu Taigong looked helplessly at the pile of dowry gifts left by Mrs. Ma, and frowned.

In the capital, the imperial list has been posted.

The first place in Jinke, the champion Dou Tianzhang.

Jinke second place, Liang Shanbo.

Jinke third place, Tanhua, it doesn't matter who Tanhua is. (To be continued.) )
