Chapter 132: Lies
Holding Zhao Rui to find a relationship, it must cost some silver. Jin Qishuang is not bad for such money, it is all out of his own pocket.
Although he is a guest in the bookstore, there are still many places where he can make money, although the calligraphy on the one hand is not very good, but the Danqing on the other hand is still good. He is not like those dull scholars, most of the danqing paintings are hung in the bookstore for sale, and the money from the sale can make their family live a good life.
Jin Qishuang and Zhao Rui have been friends for many years, and Zhao Rui naturally will not refuse to the request of his friends.
He really knew a steward in the Shi Mansion, but it was just a small steward, and he really couldn't talk to the people in power in the Shi Mansion.
Zhao Rui didn't fool him, and told everything again.
Jin Qishuang also thought about it when he heard it, and decided to try his luck first.
The steward's surname was Lin, and Jin Qishuang specially entertained him in a decent restaurant in the town, and after chatting for only a moment, he walked out with a dark face.
And the Xu family received a distinguished guest.
"Mr. Cao, you sit down first, Qishuang has something to do when he goes out, and he will come back later." Xu Shi cut the pot of tea, and was even a little cautious about the cautious attitude.
I saw Cao Wen wearing a Confucian robe, sitting at the head of the hall, he raised his hand and prepared to get up, and said, "It's not the right time for me to come, and my sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite, I'll come to the door tomorrow." ”
How could Xu blame Cao Wen for coming to the door at the wrong time, she blamed San Lang in her heart, when she was not at home, she went out at this time, but she was a female relative in the house, even if she wanted to leave someone behind.
She said: "Then Mr. Cao, you go slowly first, and when Qishuang comes back, he will be waiting at home tomorrow." ”
Cao Wen walked towards the outside, as if he said very casually: "Okay, it's too eager, there is news from Liuwen Bookstore, and I can't wait to come here." ”
Seeing that Mr. Cao had already stepped out of the house, Xu hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Cao, but about my Jia Ge'er?" ”
"Oh?" Cao Wen seemed to be puzzled by Xu's confusion, and he said, "Sister-in-law still doesn't know? Next, I went to Liuwen Bookstore. ”
Before Xu asked, Cao Wen suddenly realized: "I think Brother Jin was afraid that his sister-in-law would worry and didn't tell you, although Yongjia is not old enough to enter the bookstore, he can go in as a schoolboy to accompany him, and I am going to find out the news this time." ”
"Seriously." Xu Shi was pleasantly surprised, she didn't know what a schoolchild was, but it was very happy that only Jia Ge'er could enter Liuwen Bookstore, she asked again and again: "Then Mr. Cao, can Jia Ge'er be admitted to the hospital?" ”
Cao Wen's face was a little embarrassed, and he said vaguely: "This ...... When I come to the door tomorrow, I will definitely inform Brother Jin of the result. ”
The hesitation on Mr. Cao's face Xu could see that she had seen a lot of such expressions in the bookstore over the years.
Readers are full of poetry and books, but not everyone can eat books as food, and many students from poor families would rather empty their families to buy a book. It's more like this when I look at the book I like, but I don't have any money to pay.
Although there was still a hint of the arrogance of a scholar on his face, the embarrassment in his eyes betrayed him.
Xu Shi knew the bottom of her heart, and she said: "Mr. Cao has helped me so much, I don't even know how to thank you." Liuwen Bookstore is not easy to enter, if there is any inconvenience, you can just say it. ”……
Liuwen Bookstore is indeed not easy to enter, Xu Shi has expected it in her heart, but what she doesn't know is that she has to pay so much.
The tea on the table was already cold, and it was still a full pot, and Xu Shi couldn't come back to his senses after sitting for a long time.
At this time, Jin Qishuang also returned home with an unhappy face.
When he entered the door, he didn't care that the tea was cold, he just picked up the teacup and was a cup, and the cold tea went down his throat, but it still couldn't relieve the anger in his heart. The manager Zhao Rui was looking for didn't have the ability to fart, so he spat out arrogantly.
But at the same time, he also knew Yang Xianghan's situation in Shifu.
The eldest girl of the Shi Mansion offended by Yang Xianghan, and if she came to the Shi family again, she would not necessarily let her go for a mere hundred taels of silver.
Things are a little difficult to do, I'm afraid it won't work.
Jin Qishuang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but there was no way out in front of him at the beginning, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get it.
He said to Xu, "Clean up, let's go back to the village." ”
Xu Shi was in a trance, and she said, "I'll go, Mr. Cao just came to look for you, saying that he would come back tomorrow." ”
As if she were fascinated, Xu didn't say what Mr. Cao said, and even, she was already thinking about a way in her heart, she wanted to leave San Lang in the town, and she had to go back to the village alone.
"Cao Wen?" Only then did Jin Qishuang notice that there were two cups of tea on the table, and someone had obviously come to the door. "What's the matter with him, why don't I go look for him now?"
Xu Shi pulled out a smile, and she said: "I can take care of your man's affairs, Mr. Cao only said that he would come back tomorrow." You're just waiting at home, and I'll be in the village. ”
Jin Qishuang paused, then nodded, he told the matter again, and said: "You go back and tell your father and mother a message, I'm afraid it won't work here, so I have to find another way." ”
Xu naturally agreed, she didn't stay long, got up and went out.
Spending money to sit in the carriage, the whole way was muddy, and the closer she got to the village, the more urgent her heart became, and her hands clenched into fists and clenched together. After stepping out of the carriage, she seemed to have made up her mind and resolutely headed towards the Jin family.
The field is also busy, the Jin family is now at home waiting for news, and the Jin Jiang family even goes outside the yard from time to time to take a look.
This time, too, her legs were a little sore, she stood up again and walked towards the outside of the yard, thinking it was empty, but she didn't expect to see Xu Shi with an eager face.
When Xu saw Jin Jiang's family, he also trotted forward, supported her weakly, and said, "Mother, you are in a hurry." ”
"But there's news?" Jin Jiang asked with his backhand on her arm.
Xu's eyes flickered a little modestly, and he said firmly: "There is news, let's go into the house and say." ”
In the courtyard, except for Yongxin and Jin Yun, who were still outside, the other people were there, Xu Shi stabilized her hand a little trembling, she calmed her breath, and said slowly: "San Lang's friend knows the first steward of Shifu, and he also went to meet after his introduction. ”
The tone of his speech was very slow, if it weren't for the eagerness and lack of attention, I am afraid that many people at the scene would have heard the trills in Xu's language.
She continued: "San Lang also went to see the steward to learn about Xianghan's situation. Although Xianghan offended the eldest girl in the house, the eldest girl of the Shi family was married, and the old lady did spoil Xianghan before, but now seeing that Xianghan was having a hard time, she was still a little reluctant in her heart, and she agreed to release her with pity. ”
"Really?" Jin Jiang was overjoyed, and her hand holding Xu's arm couldn't help but use some force.
But Xu Shi didn't seem to feel it at all, with some embarrassment on her face, she continued: "Although the old lady of the Shi family agreed to release her, the ransom is indispensable. ”
"How much?" Kim asked.
Because worry blinds the mind, if in normal times, I am afraid that someone would have noticed what the old lady of the Shi family is, and if she is really willing to let go, how can she care about such a little money. And the only one who noticed it was the bystander standing on the side, Jiang Xiaolian.
There was some thoughtfulness on her face, but she didn't speak, and kept her head hanging down beside her.
"One hundred taels." Xu Shi said it carefully, she also knew that her words were full of mistakes, so she continued: "Daddy, San Lang is still dealing with that steward, if he really intends to redeem it, he will solve it as much as possible, don't wait for the eldest girl of the Shi family to find out." ”
One hundred taels, what a sum of money.
Even though I had expected it in my heart, when I heard it, there was no sound of astonishment in the courtyard, but silence.
In the middle of the sound, the old man Jin said: "Go get the silver, I'll go to the town." ”
Xu Shi was happy at first, and then she was frightened, she stood up in a panic, and said again and again: "Dad, I'll just go alone." ”
Old Man Jin turned around, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes as he looked at Xu.
Xu secretly sighed that it was not good, tried to settle down, and said: "Xianghan came back this time, the people of the Yang family knew that they would come here to make a big fuss, didn't my father and mother say that they would move Xianghan's household registration to our house?" It's better to go to the governor to make sure, and feel more at ease. ”
"There's no rush for this, I'll talk about it when I get Xianghan's deed of sale back." Old Man Jin thought about it, but still refused.
There is a short distance from the village to the town, and he can't rest assured that the Xu family has a hundred taels of silver, in case something happens along the way, the money is gone, and he can earn it again, but people can't have an accident.
But how does the Xu family understand the thoughts of the old man Jin, but he is not at ease with himself.
How could she rest assured that Old Man Jin would join her, if she went to the town, a lie she told would be exposed.
The reason why the Xu family is so bold now is just that they think that it is a foregone conclusion, even if their parents' family will blame, but as long as their son can go to Liuwen Bookstore, after a long time, Jia Ge'er will understand her approach after he has a future.
But not now, now that it has been exposed, Jia Ge'er not only can't go to Liuwen Bookstore, but she doesn't know what is waiting for her.
But there was no way to refuse for a while, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "Okay, then dad hurry up, San Lang is still waiting." ”
Jin Jiang had already listened to the old man's words and went back to the house to get the silver, and she firmly held a burden, which was wrapped layer after layer, for fear of revealing it.
Although she was reluctant, she handed it over in the end and said, "Be careful all the way, don't fall off." ”
Xu Shi pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a stiff smile: "Don't worry, mother, the carriage I am sitting in is still waiting outside the village, and it will not be lost." ”
There was a cold sweat on his back, and Xu really didn't know what to do for a while.
And at this moment, a person ran in from outside, and the man shouted: "Uncle Jin, a few wild boars have run down the mountain, arching grain in the field, hurry up and take a look." ”
"No one was hurt, right?" Old man Jin said that during the harvest period every year, a lot of livestock ran down from the mountain. Born to spoil food.
At this time, every family took a hoe and sickle to fight, and although there were no casualties, there were still many people injured.
"I don't know yet, you guys hurry up, I'll go first." When the man had finished speaking, he ran outside.
Although it is distressing to waste food, the wild boars that come down here are also food. There is a rule in the village that everyone who participates can get some of the wild boar after they are killed, and it is meat and meat, so naturally they will not let go of such a good opportunity.
The Jin family is not short of a little meat now, but the wild boar is fierce, and he still has to contribute to the village.
Xu Shi saw that it was a good opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Dad, if you go first, I also hired a carriage, it is very safe along the way, and there will be a San Lang to greet you when you arrive in the town, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Jin Jiang was a little worried, she said, "Do you want to wait no longer?" ”
"Mother, we're waiting, people can't wait." As he spoke, Xu Shi picked up his baggage and walked out, and said as he walked: "Don't worry, I will bring Xianghan back next time I come back." ”
Out of the yard, Xu's heart was still beating hard, and his arms were heavy, but he didn't feel a little relieved.
She walked quickly, with a hint of messiness.
The carriage was waiting outside the village, and as soon as Xu got into the car, he heard shouts from behind him.
"Third aunt? Have you just come back or are you going out? Yongxin came back with an ox cart and happened to meet him.
Xu Shi was frightened, she hurriedly said: "Back to the town, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
After speaking, without waiting for a reply, he urged the driver to get on the road immediately.
Yongxin looked at the speeding carriage, and couldn't help but wonder, and threw up the long whip and prepared to drive the ox cart into the village.
But Jin Yun said at this time: "Follow her." ”
Xu's face was pale, his eyes were even more uneasy and empty, and most importantly, Jin Yun could feel a strong metallic aura on her.
I guess I got the money from the Kim family in that baggage.
She will come back to get the silver, it should be that there is news about Yang Xianghan, but Jin Yun doesn't understand, it's just that she came back to get the silver, why is Xu so uneasy and full of panic, even if Xu hides it, she can still see her trembling all over.
If it's just because you have a lot of money, it shouldn't be.
This is also the reason why Jin Yun should follow.
However, the Xu family in front of him breathed a sigh of relief, and did not notice that an ox cart was followed behind him.
The speed of the carriage and ox cart is definitely incomparable, and when they came to the town again, the two of them couldn't see Xu's figure, but fortunately, Jin Yun could still feel that metallic aura.
Fortunately, no one in the town had such a huge sum of money on them at once, otherwise Jin Yun would have to lose it.
Yongxin was also confused, but he still followed Jin Yun left and right to find an alley......
"Mr. Cao." Xu saw someone in the alley again, and hurriedly ran forward, she said: "I brought the silver, and I will leave the matter of my Jiage'er to you." ”
Cao Wen chuckled, his voice was a little sharp, he reached out to take the burden, inadvertently weighed it with both hands, and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'll go to Liuwen Bookstore, you wait for the good news." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Shi with a shocked face, and his eyes looked behind him with extremely panicked.
He frowned and turned over, only to see a fist coming at him, and then a sharp pain in his face knocked him to the ground.
It was dark in front of him, and Cao Wen didn't know what was going on until he passed out in a coma.
