"You and the others listened to the verdict, Bai Xien's marriage contract did not match, and there will be no such disturbance from now on, and he will still go back to Chen's house to live in peace."

The corners of Xi'en's mouth moved, and he looked at Ma County's order, leaned over and bowed, "The people's daughter obeys." ”

"It is hateful that the rest of the people have taken bribes and done evil. Seeing that there is still remorse, and Miss Bai is no longer pursuing it, I will ask each of you to compensate Bai Xien for one or two pieces of silver, which is used for comfort, can you accept it? ”

When these people heard that they didn't earn the copper plate, they each lost a tael of silver, and they felt distressed like cutting meat. But at this time, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach, kowtowing one by one to admit punishment.

"Li Er!"

Li Erzheng was wondering what kind of punishment he was, but he was suddenly frightened by Ma County's order, and he almost didn't pee his pants, and he was busy kowtowing like pounding garlic, "Adult, the villain is guilty, and please spare your life!" ”

"The death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is unforgivable, you will be punished to work in the Chenjia Dyeing Workshop for a month, no wages and meals, and you will be sent to Fengze County Prison immediately if there is a delay!"

Li Er was overjoyed, this was bearable, and he was about to kowtow to thank him.

Ma Xian Ling said, "I will fine you ten taels of silver and the white girl will be shocked, and I will send it within three days." ”

Li Er shouted, "Master Qingtian, ten taels of silver is my family's chewing head for a year, where will the little one get it in this time and a half?" As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Ma Xianling's displeased face, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand and leaned over to thank him.

On the morning of the second day, Mrs. Li went out early to watch the scene.

A few days ago, the Chen family beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers, and her eyes were red and sad, but now she wants to take a good look, can this Chen family still be lively?

"Why don't you go to the laundry and cook, run here and stand in the shade or watch a trick?" Shopkeeper Li reprimanded.

"I'm busy with your father's food and drink all day long, so I can't have a leisure?" Mrs. Li fanned the brocade handkerchief in her hand, and the bright red peony embroidered on it accompanied by the fresh green leaves, which was very beautiful. This was brought back to her by Merlin from the county, and she was reluctant to use it on weekdays. Today, I felt comfortable, and I deliberately took it out and fanned it at the door.

Shopkeeper Li couldn't, so he had to go to the dyeing workshop first.

"Sister-in-law Li, why are you idle today?"

Mrs. Li was looking at the door of Chen's house wholeheartedly, when she was suddenly startled by this voice, and turned around to see Mrs. Chen carrying a basket of clothes. "Oh, look at what his aunt said, where am I idle, but I breathe a sigh when I'm tired from work." As he spoke, he looked back and couldn't hide his excitement, "Why is your family not here?" ”

"Sister, Li Er's mess is in trouble." Li's second daughter-in-law's face is like a singing face, green and green, and it is very good-looking. While wiping his tears, he walked over.

Mrs. Li didn't have time to close her mouth, and she couldn't care about Mrs. Chen anymore, so she stepped forward and pulled her sister into the house.

"Ten taels of silver, brother-in-law, you know, how much income does my family have a year, don't say ten taels of silver, even one or two is rare!" Li's second daughter-in-law cried so painfully that she broke her liver and intestines, even when her father and mother passed away the year before last, she didn't see her crying like this.

Mrs. Li sat next to her and rubbed her hands, "How could this be the result, how could this be, can't it?" ”

Shopkeeper Li's face was green, and cold air was sprayed in his nose, but he didn't speak, but it was even more scary than talking.

"Boss, why don't you come up with an idea, Li Er is also for our dyeing workshop, we can't ignore it, right?"

"This is your idea, what does it have to do with me?" The shopkeeper Li's face was covered with frost, and he didn't look at his wife, so he slammed the teacup airway.

"Dad, my mother has done this, you will be angry when you are old, and it is important to come up with a countermeasure to solve the problem in front of you first." Li Molin was about to slip out of the front of the hall to go to the house, it was spring, the spring was shining, and his literary friends met three or five people every day to chant poems against each other, saying, "Live up to the spring".

Shopkeeper Li was silent for a long time, and let out a long sigh.

When there were fewer people on the street, Mrs. Li first looked to see if there was anyone on the street, and then stepped out with a gift in her hand.

Xi'en was lying on the bed, just finished eating, and her mother was talking with her.

Mrs. Li came in, and Mrs. Chen hurriedly stood up. Yan Rui asked in a low voice: "The Li family came to see you, did you see you?" ”

"See you." She struggled to remember. The mother hurriedly held it down: "He gave us the means, is he still reasonable?" ”

Yan Rui also glared angrily from the side, his fists clenched, his teeth gritted, and the muscles of the back molars of his cheeks strained.

Mrs. Li came in with a snack box, and when she saw Xi'en, she pounced: "Xi'en, the eldest niece!" It's all done by that eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. Big niece, what do you let your aunt say. Mrs. Li paused and thumped her chest.

Xien stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit down: "Auntie, you sit, the second uncle is anxious for you, this is not a big deal, you can rest assured." This neighbor lives in the neighborhood, and it is a peer, so a little dispute is nothing. ”

Mrs. Li took Xi'en's hand and burst into tears: "Eldest niece, aunt and uncle are old, although your brother is two years older than you, he is not worry-free, and now that this incident has happened, how can my Li family's face exist." Saying that she was about to kneel, Mrs. Chen hurriedly stopped her.

Xi'en said: "Auntie, what are you talking about! It's fine, it's fine. I'm joking with my second uncle. It's okay, auntie, if I say it's okay, it's okay. You let the second uncle come back, this matter is over. ”

Mrs. Li wiped away her tears, and then said: "Eldest niece, you have also seen this scene now, your uncle means that our family is no longer dry, you are okay, just come over." ”

Xi En restrained his smile and said, "Auntie, you are bent on deducting basins on my head!" Who do you think of me? Take advantage of this little thing to rob other people's business. Do you still want me to be a man in Hulutun? Mrs. Li was quite surprised, and looked at Xi En with another eye.

Xi'en then said: "Auntie, in the future, what should be done or how to do it, just don't do it." I met with the county magistrate this time, and I have a long experience. We are door to door, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Don't worry, aunt, not only do it, but I will have to help you do it in the future. You send two guys back, and I'll teach him the tricks here. ”

When Mrs. Li returned home, sweating profusely, Shopkeeper Li hurriedly handed over the hand towel, and then was busy pouring water.

Li's second daughter-in-law asked, "What did she say?" ”

Mrs. Li slapped her thigh, and then let go again: "Alas! Unexpectedly, people didn't say a word ugly. Here's what it's about. Let Li Er come back, people won't pursue it. This little is called Hanako, no, it should be Bai Xien, he has such a big belly, he is really right, and the two of us are not as good as the others. ”

Li's second daughter-in-law bowed to the Bodhisattva, chanted words in her mouth, and kowtowed a few times when she lay down.

Yan Rui was indignant: "Sister, you are also kind." Ten taels of silver is enough for their family to earn for two months, since it was given away for nothing. ”

Xi En smiled faintly: "He is not benevolent, and we are unjust." So be it. We don't care, people all over the city are famous for us. And all the people of this city say that he is unkind, and that he can have a good deal? Hum! Ten taels of silver to buy this name, it is worth it! Brother Yanrui, I can't move for the past two days, and you can keep an eye on the business on the counter. ”
