"Second sister-in-law Yang is a person who is exquisitely thoughtful and meticulous, and she counts ten steps as one step, which is amazing! Such intimate and important things were all in her hands, and they did not arouse anyone's alarm. What an eye-opener! ”

Cen Erniang sighed a few words, then curiously opened the letters, glanced at them casually, and found that the content of the letters was extremely numb, full of unsightly private love words such as "I miss you and love you", and she was covered with goosebumps.

Cen Erniang stuffed the letter paper into the envelope in disgust, and together with the jade Buddha and the jade wrench, put it into the oil paper, and then stuffed the oil paper into the wide sleeve pocket.

She is wearing a wide-sleeved silver-red pomegranate pattern embroidered cotton jacket today, with a willow yellow and colored long skirt underneath. The pockets between her sleeves were quite large, and she could easily fit the oiled paper bag that she could hold in one hand.

Now that the evidence has been taken out, Cen Erniang didn't want to stay in that yin and remote place for long, she almost trotted out of the yard in front.

Libai watched her bouncing back intently from behind, his deep eyes full of tenderness and endless sadness and helplessness.

Cen Erniang and Libai came out of the deserted courtyard together, and it was almost noon. Because her previous hat was stained with mud and could not be used, Libai took her out of the quiet alley and went to the market outside to buy a hat.

When they walked to a ready-to-wear shop specializing in women's clothing on Xuande Street in Beicheng, and when they were choosing hats, they saw a large number of people bustling together outside the gate of the Commercial Tax Institute on the opposite side of the slanted side, forming a semi-arc with the posture of the stars and the moon, and from time to time commenting on the young master and servant standing at the gate and pulling and pulling with the two gatekeepers.

Cen Erniang took a hat and put it on with great interest, and stood at the door to watch the excitement, the sound outside was too noisy, she couldn't hear it clearly, so she asked the guy: "Who are those two?" Why do you want to make trouble at the door of the Commercial Tax Institute? ”

As soon as the guy got the two taels of silver from Libai, he replied very interestingly: "I heard the official guarding the door say that those two people are from Qing'an County, Huaizhou Prefecture. The son in the moon-white brocade robe was the third son of the An family, a large local family in Qing'an County, and the one next to him wearing a navy blue cotton robe was An Zhu, the little boy of the third son of An. Because they wanted to settle the newly bought shop with the deed, they made many trips to the Commercial Tax Institute in the past two days. ”

"I heard that it was because the third son of Na'an offended the three stewards of the Liu family's fangya, and then annoyed the old man Liu, the head of the courtyard. The old man let go, saying that he was stuck and would not handle it. The third son of Na'an, a foreign merchant, although his family is wealthy, has no connections and no foundation in Hong'an Mansion, and he offends people who should not be offended, so that he spends a lot of money to buy a shop but has no legal deed, which is also pitiful. ”

"I heard that his family urged him to go back quickly, and he was in a hurry to leave, but he couldn't leave because the deed was not completed. No, I ran to the commercial tax institute more than ten or twenty times a day, but unfortunately the old man was so annoyed that he didn't see any customers. He could only shout a few words at the door, let's see the excitement. ”

When Cen Erniang heard the third son of An in Qing'an County, she remembered the identity of that person. He is the stupid young master who was scolded by her grandmother for spending a lot of money and thanking her grandmother for her "kindness and generosity".

When Lipber heard what the man said, he was a little puzzled, so he asked the fellow, "How do you know this?" ”

The guy laughed, "Hey! The gatekeeper on the left who is pulling An Sangongzi is my cousin. I also have a cousin who is the master of the old man's side, and I have a deep friendship with the old man, so I ...... Hey hey ......"

"I see." Cen Erniang suddenly said, "I'll just say, how can you, a guy who sells clothes, know so much inside story." It turned out that there were people inside. ”

The girl laughed. The guy rubbed his hands together shyly, "I'm also in a hurry." By the way, we have recently brought back a batch of fashionable and brightly colored silk dresses from the south, as well as fine ferret fur and fox fur cloaks from the north...... Would you like to take a look? Guaranteed to be nice and warm, absolutely lining you! ”

"Huh." Cen Erniang couldn't help laughing, "You guy is really good at business." But ......"

In the middle of her words, a high-pitched male voice suddenly sounded in front of her, "Let go of Ben Gongzi!" You two bastards! What is the 'irregular procedure', I invited the manager of Liu's Fangya Office to go to Cen's house to find the third old lady to negotiate in person and transfer the household. Mrs. Cen San gave me the deed of the two shops, you take the old deed and replace it with a new one for my son...... Let go! I'm going to find the head of the Yanagi Temple! ”

Cen Erniang and Li Bai heard the words of the third son of Na'an, and their faces turned cold. Listening to the crowd below, there were bursts of discussions about the Cen family and the Gao family, some said good, some said bad, but most of them were saying that the third old lady Cen was relying on the Cen family's power to bully other people's foreign sons. There are also many people who echo and say bad things about the Cen family.

When Cen Erniang heard this, a nameless fire suddenly rose in her heart, and she said to Libai: "Go and shut up that stunned young man!" Quickly led him in to find the head of the Liu Yuan, got the matter done, and told him to get out! lest he shout everywhere and attract more criticism to our Cen family. ”

As the noble daughter of the Cen family, Cen Erniang has received an education since she was a child: family reputation is more important than a qiē! Even if she wanted to break away from the Cen family, she would not allow someone to smear the Cen family in this way.

Cen Erniang hates An San's awesome spine to death! looks like a human, but the things he does make people speechless, and he doesn't take his brain with him when he goes out.

Cen Erniang even wanted to go over in person and wake up that fool. But because of her reputation, she had to tell Libai to go and settle the house for An San, and send the fool away as much as possible.

In the past, Libo often ran errands for Cen's second master, and because of the deed for the second manor, he has not been running to the commercial tax institute in recent years. There is no one in the entire Commercial Tax Institute who does not know him. As soon as he came forward, he quietly covered his hands with his sleeves, handed two ingots of silver to the two guards guarding the door, and led An Sanshao and his little servant An Zhu into the gate.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency?" An Sanshao shook off the two obstructive officials and followed Libai into the gate, only to remember to ask him: "I don't know why you want to help us?" ”

"In Xia Libai, the Cen family's West Mansion is in charge." Li Bai glanced at the second stunned An Sanshao, and said lightly: "The second girl and I happened to pass by here and saw that the son was blocked. The second girl heard that you were doing business with our Xifu, and seeing that you were having a hard time, she specially ordered me to come over and help you. ”

"I see!" An Sanshao gratefully clenched his fists at Libai: "Thank you and the second girl!" When it comes to this, An Mou will thank the two of you. I don't know where the second girl is? ”

"No need." Libai's eyes did not squint and walked forward, "It's just a gesture." You're so polite. ”

"Yes! Yes! An Sanshao didn't seem to see Libai's coldness, and said vigorously: "How can I trouble you in vain?" Doesn't that seem like I'm being rude! ”

"Yes." An Sanshao's little servant An Zhu also laughed on the side: "Our young master is the most courteous, don't be polite to us!" ”

Li Bai glanced at An Zhu coldly, and saw that he was suddenly silent, lowered his head, and did not make any more mistakes. Only then did Libai turn to An Sanshao and said, "No need, I still have something." When I see the head of the Liu Yuan, I will leave after I have done your business. ”

After that, Li Bai went straight to the office of the head of the Liu Courtyard, regardless of the expressions of An Sanshao and An Zhu behind him.
