"Why is that?" The prefectural magistrate asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The folk girl is afraid that she will cause trouble in the future after hearing about this splash." Lin Yujuan's face revealed fear and disgust for that Qiu Long.

The county magistrate listened to what the little lady said, so he asked the official to escort Qiu Long to the next door first. Lin Yujuan said the names of the tooth shop, the sugar shop, and the needlework shop, and her own servants went to invite the witnesses separately. After a while, the officials invited several witnesses. Before Lin Yusuo entered the lobby, he shouted: "Sister, sister, why did you come to the yamen?" ”

Lin Yujuan said: "Little brother, I met hooligans on the street. ”

"Slap-" There was another shock, Lin Yujuan glanced at Lin Yusuo, meaning not to speak yet.

"Witnesses, please give their names."

"The little one's name is Lin Yusuo, and this is my second sister."

"When will you arrive in Yangzhou?"

"Well, I remember that it seemed to be the sixteenth day, and the lease contract at that time was written on the sixteenth day of the lunar month. Then we went to look for work together that afternoon, but my sister didn't find it. I was taken by our boss. Lin Yusuo said and pointed to the sugar shop owner who came with him.

The owner of the sugar shop naturally came forward to confirm that everything Lin Yusuo said was true, saying that the sister and brother walked all the way to find a job, and he also had an impression of Lin Yujuan.

The next tooth man and the sewing shop proprietress also confirmed what Lin Yujuan said, and everything can be right. Taizhou Jiang's house is farther away, but the testimony of these people is enough to prove Lin Yujuan's innocence. Comparing that Qiu Long again, there is no evidence, there are no witnesses, it is obvious that he is lying. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the county order ordered Lin Yujuan to be released on the spot, and Lin Yujuan thanked the witnesses who came to testify and went home with Lin Yusuo.

The county magistrate ordered the officials to escort Qiu Long to the court, angry that he had failed to kidnap Lin Yujuan, and falsely accused Lin Yujuan of cheating on marriage. The county magistrate is the most unpleasant to look at these pungent gangsters on weekdays, so he has to let the officials beat him. After beating the board, Qiu Long summoned a lot of confessions. It turns out that this guy is idle all day long, and he doesn't make a proper living, and he and a gang of hooligans get together to make a living abducting women and children. On weekdays, when I see a single young and beautiful woman, handsome girls try their best to abduct, rob, and then sell to passing merchants as concubines, slaves or prostitutes, thin horses, and so on. The county magistrate arrested many of his gangs, and some of them were sentenced to death, and the other accomplices were exiled thousands of miles away after being punished with a cane.

After this incident, Lin Yujuan no longer dared to go to the dock alone to sell things. Fortunately, the New Year was approaching in a few days, so she cleaned up at home and made some delicious food for Lin Yusuo to compensate him. She feels that the person she is most sorry for is this younger brother, because she can't reunite with her parents during the Chinese New Year. Three days before the Chinese New Year, Lin Yujuan's custom-made silk thread was finally good. She was concentrating on crocheting flowers at home, and after a few dexterous finger hooks, a beautiful flower appeared. There are not only flat single-layer flowers, but also three-dimensional multi-layered petals, and the stamens are outlined in the middle, which looks like the real thing from a distance. The effect of this silk thread is really much better than that of the previous cotton thread.

"Sister, it's really good-looking, and I haven't seen it in Yangzhou for a few days." Lin Yusuo was also amazed when he saw it.

Lin Yujuan said with a smile: "It's more beautiful when hooked into clothes, but this crocheted clothes can only be worn in late spring." If you want to make money, you have to think about it, I'll put some small pieces to sell first. ”

"Sister, then what do you hook up and show me first."

"Okay, but you're going to have to earn money to support your family these days. By the way, does your boss still want you to work in his shop after the New Year? ”

"Our owner said that I would go to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the sugar shop would have business for the New Year." Lin Yusuo said happily.

"That's good, little brother, do you miss your parents? It's all my sister's bad sister who brought you out too. ”

"It's natural to think about it, but if I don't have to worry about you at home. It's a shame that you brought me out with you, otherwise it's really hard to talk about the hooligans that day. ”

"yes, I did owe it to my heart, but luckily we were lucky, and there was no danger every time. But when I think about it, I feel that this year is really unfavorable, you see that the swelling on my face has not disappeared, and I have been beaten twice this year. I hope that everything will go smoothly after the New Year, and there will be no more such unfortunate things. Lin Yujuan said and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Sister, I will protect you in the future, you see that I am almost taller than you, whoever dares to bully you again will beat him." Lin Yusuo patted his chest and said.

"Well, you're going to talk." When Lin Yujuan heard her little brother's words, she was naturally very happy in her heart.

The sisters and brothers didn't make new clothes for the New Year, on the one hand, they didn't have time, and on the other hand, they were reluctant to pay. Lin Yujuan decided to hook a collar ornament for herself, and the circle below her neck was composed of flowers, and after hooking the edges, all the bottom was hooked into tassels. The tassel gradually moves from the shoulders to the heart, and when worn on the body, it looks like a heart. The tassels are also dotted with finger-sized flowers and butterflies. Because the Chinese New Year is more festive, except for the small flowers and butterflies dotted on the tassels, everything else is red. I hooked a few more headdresses, from butterflies to flowers.

In a blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and Lin Yusuo naturally still had to go to work in the sugar mill. Most of the shops on the street have also opened. In order to promote her crochet works, Lin Yujuan can only have the courage to wear a tassel collar and a self-made crochet headdress. After tidying up his hair and clothes, he went to the street alone, and the destination was Caiyi Street. On the one hand, she carefully looked at the patterns of the sample clothes sold by others, and on the other hand, she also let the shopkeeper see the crochet flower tassel collar on her body. When she met a store that inquired about the price, Lin Yujuan opened her mouth for ten taels of silver. When everyone heard this price, they shook their heads and didn't want to buy it anymore. Lin Yujuan ran all the way from the east end of Caiyi Street to the west end and failed to sell it.

Is it because the price of selling it yourself is too expensive, or is it because people don't accept this new style? It is said that there are many wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou City, and luxury goods are so expensive, so Lin Yujuan hopes that her unique crochet clothes can be sought after by rich women. She has just one hand, and she can't rely on quantity, so the price must be higher. But the reality is very cruel, or it is very difficult to start, and it can't be sold at all. When Lin Yujuan walked back, she was not as confident as when she first came out.
