Li Molin returned home in the dark and knocked on the knocker, "Shunzi." ”

After dinner, Xiao Shunzi squatted behind the gate in the dark, and let the bolts and pillars learn outside the door for a while, and the birds did not move the nest. "I won't go even if I can win back the dog meat today, the young master can't enter the door when he comes back, so he has to break my head." He has a spectrum in his heart.

Hearing movement outside, Junko quietly opened the door with a "creak".

"Mom and Dad are asleep?"

"The lord and the lady will go back to the room to rest after the dark, the young master can rest assured."

Li Molin's hanging heart was put back in its place, and he walked to his room, and said as he walked: "You kid did a good job, I will reward you for a young master tomorrow." Li Molin is quite generous to this little follower who has accompanied him to do bad things since he was a child.

"What reward? Do you want to give the old man a copy if you don't want to appreciate it? ”

Such a cold and hard voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, which frightened Li Molin out of thin air.

Mrs. Li stepped forward to support her husband's shoulders and handled the collar smoothly, "Master, dissipate your anger, and talk about it tomorrow." While giving his son a look, let him bow his head and admit his mistake as soon as possible.

"The good things you did this day, those who don't know think that my eldest young master of the Li family has a mad disease, where can I put my old face?" Shopkeeper Li hated that iron could not become steel, and sighed and scolded.

"My son is wrong, I won't dare in the future, I will be angry and hurt my body, you should take care of yourself." Li Molin is quite obedient at the moment, his eyes are looking at his nose, his nose is looking at his heart, and his voice is low as if a mosquito is humming.

"Alas, go ahead!" Shopkeeper Li waved his hand weakly, and he was in no mood to say anything more at the moment when he was full of words of teaching and reprimand.

Li Molin was about to anoint the soles of his feet if he was amnesty. Suddenly, there was another commotion outside, and my ears couldn't help but puff up.

Shopkeeper Li and Mrs. Li looked at each other in a daze, not knowing what was going on outside.

"Junko, go out and have a look." Shopkeeper Li commanded.

Xiao Shunzi went out to inquire for a while, then came in and replied, "A team of officers and soldiers from the Chen family came to the door to talk about things." The noisy and shouting, the slave didn't hear it clearly, and it vaguely sounded as if the eldest lady of the Chen family had committed something and asked the family to deal with the aftermath or something. ”

On a sunny day, Li Molin stayed in place like a stone clay sculpture, and his face turned pale. In an instant, he suddenly woke up, turned around and was about to rush out the door.

"Junko, grab the young master. You are a wicked obstacle, don't you want the officers and soldiers to be arrested with you when you go out like this, instead of making trouble like this, it is better to think of ways and how to save people! ”

Li Molin struggled for a moment and couldn't get out, and after thinking about it, what his father said was not unreasonable. But he is a smart man after all, he calmed down for a while, thought carefully, and said that it was okay in the message that Xi En brought in the morning, how could the situation take a sharp turn in one day? I'm afraid that I can't mess around like this, and if it is self-defeating, wouldn't it hurt my gratitude.

Mrs. Li only thought that her son and Na Bai Xien were familiar friends with a teenager, and she couldn't accept it for a while, so she reacted now. Besides, he has always been a very naughty master, and he has to make a lot of trouble when he has nothing to do. After comforting him carefully for a while, he asked Junzi to accompany him all night, and then went back to his room to sleep peacefully.

This night, the Li couple had to toss and turn, worrying about the affairs of the Chen family.

The day had just dawned, and at the beginning of the day, the carriage had been parked outside the gate of Chen's house. Shopkeeper Chen, Mrs. and Yan Rui all had creams on their faces, and no one spoke. Mrs. Chen's eyes were red and swollen, and it was obvious that the tears had not stopped last night.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, when I enter the city this time, I will definitely have a good life with Lord Nama, and I must ensure that my nephew and daughter are released from prison safe and sound." Second Master Chen swore an oath. He is wearing a silver-gray Hangzhou silk gown, a finger-wide golden belt around his waist, black soap boots, a clean face, and a paper fan of Xiangfei bamboo in his hand, revealing full style.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at his brother, he didn't sleep all night last night, his face was blue, although the second master Chen was a few years older, but he felt that the two were more like father and son. "You should put on your official uniform." Shopkeeper Chen said in a deep voice.

Second Master Chen's heart tightened, he returned to his hometown under the guise of waiting to be transferred, but in fact, he made a mistake and was dismissed from office, where to find an official uniform?

His eyes blinked twice, "This kind of thing is naturally best based on my brother's personal feelings, if you take out the official faction, and it is a Beijing official to negotiate with the magistrate, it is somewhat taboo." ”

Shopkeeper Chen thought about it, took out a burden and handed it over, "This is one thousand taels, if Lord Ma still has too many requirements, you can send someone back and say that our family business is in the hands of Xi'en, and we can't be ungrateful!" ”

Second Master Chen didn't hear what his brother was saying, and his eyes were only staring at the burden without moving. As long as he went around the capital and came back to say that it was too late, the case was already closed, and he was sentenced to death. This thousand taels of silver went into his pocket, and when the time came, he took the silver into the capital to make a point, not to mention that he could donate a county order, if he hit the luck, he didn't know the real shortage of a prefect.

"Here are a few clothes and food, you carry them, and you don't know what kind of sin you have suffered in prison. Poor this child, I don't know what sins I did in my previous life, how can I have endless suffering! Mrs. Chen couldn't help crying again.

Yan Rui was supporting his mother on the side, wanting to follow his second uncle to visit his sister, but he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't dare to say it.

The family sent Chen Er Ye away and silently returned to the room to wait for the news.

However, the second room of the Chen family was unstable. Chen Biyun got up early and heard Xiaolian say that his father went to Fengze County, and it is said that the eldest master gave the second master a pack of silver tickets. Chen Biyun has the bottom in his heart, his father is bluffing, with his identity as a bachelor of Hanlin, what to say to the lord of a county, he is just a cheater.

Xiangxiang came in from outside, with a gloomy face, and said sullenly, "Why did you lose your life when that little flower child was unlucky?" ”

"This is fate, sometimes you have to have it in life, and you can't force it at all times in life." Chen Biyun said with a hint of sinister on her face, and she looked very proud.

Xiangxiang understood that her sister was saying that Bai Xien was competing with her for Li Molin's success, but she didn't bother to think about it. It's just that I think of being a good person, since I lost my life so plainly, the resentment against her earlier has disappeared without a trace, and I feel a little more melancholy.

"Madame uses some white fungus lotus seed soup, this thing defeats the fire." The servant Wang Ma, whom the Chen family had just invited, came in with a bowl.

Mrs. Chen sat alone on the bed thinking about her thoughts, full of the scene of Xi'en laughing and coquettish in her arms, and when she saw Wang's mother coming in, she only said to herself, "Good girl, you can come back, my mother is thinking of you." ”

Wang Ma sighed with her, and said some words of persuasion, but it was useless.

"Mother, I'm back."

There was a crisp "mother" outside the door, which shocked Mrs. Chen only as if she wanted her daughter, and she didn't dare to move, for fear that she would hear poorly.
