Chapter 13: Eight hundred taels

"It turned out to be Aunt Li and Little Brother Li," Su Wanyu nodded. Since they were neighbors, Su Wanyu said hello generously.

Chun Tao usually rarely sees people, let alone a handsome son of ten **, so he is a little shy at this time. She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks showed a peachy flush, she pursed her lips lightly, revealing her good-looking pear nest, and said softly: "Aunt Li, little brother Li is good." ”

"You're welcome, two girls. We'll be neighbors in the future," Aunt Li waved her hand and said with a smile, then she looked at the Taiping car and pointed, "The things on this car are going to be unloaded, right?" That's a lot of weight. Let's take a hand. Liangwei, don't be stunned. ”

Su Wanyu looked at the hundreds of catties of things in the Taiping car, and Hao Ran said, "Then it's shameful to trouble Aunt Li and Little Brother Li." ”

"Girl, don't be polite." Aunt Li said.

Su Wanyu smiled gratefully and knocked on the courtyard door.

It was Mother Wu who came to open the door.

Su Wanyu briefly introduced the mother and son of the Li family to Mother Wu, and Mother Wu thanked her again. Aunt Li waved her hand again, and said straight.

There are really a lot of various objects on the Taiping car, and there are many quantities and types. Some are light and easy to handle, while others are heavy like rice. Aunt Li pointed to Li Liangwei to move the load-bearing, and the rest of the women's family was responsible for carrying and sorting out the light and complicated ones.

"I forgot to ask, what should the girl be called?" Aunt Li said.

"My surname is Su, and Aunt Li calls me Wanyu, this is Chun Tao and Aunt Wu. We originally lived in Fugui Lane over there in Nantang, and we only moved here yesterday," Su Wanyu said: "If you have just arrived, you will ask Aunt Li to help you more in the future." ”

"Wherever you are, you are neighbors who live close to each other, and in the future, you don't have to help each other." Aunt Li said with a smile. The fine lines at the corners of the eyes become deeper and more pronounced with the smile. However, Su Wanyu thought it was ugly, but felt that these fine lines made Aunt Li more kind and kind.

And Li Liangwei, who was immersed in moving things, heard what Su Wanyu said, but there was a shock in his hand, and his heroic eyebrows raised slightly.

The Su family in this Fugui Lane, others don't know, but he Li Liangwei is clear. There is only one family surnamed Su in this rich lane, and that is Su Zhanyuan's old man's house.

Li Liangwei is a government official and specializes in participating in cases of all sizes in Yizhou City. Selling illicit salt is a big case, and Li Liangwei naturally knows it.

However, Master Su's case is also strange.

The salt in Master Su's cargo was seized by the guards at the city gate. The city gate guards are the soldiers of the four cities of Yizhou, and the soldiers and horses of the four cities are subordinate to the former soldiers and horses, and they are directly under the management of the military department in the capital. In other words, this gate guard does not belong to the Yizhou Mansion.

This case is strange, on weekdays, the cases seized by the city gate guards will be handed over to the government office by the command of the Four Cities Soldiers and Horses. But this time, the prefect of Yizhou personally brought the officials to capture Kuaixu, rushed to the city gate as soon as possible, intercepted Master Su, and brought him back to the mansion.

Normally, cases in Yizhou have to be tried in court, but this case was decided early before the court was opened.

Although the Great Qi Dynasty did not explicitly stipulate that all cases must be tried in court. However, the prefect has always been fair in the event of an accident, and no matter how big or small the case is, it will be opened. Since Li Liangwei entered the government office and became a Xu official, he has never seen an example of the prefect adjudicating a case without opening the court. It's just that I heard from the old man in the government that many years ago, the prefect also had a case that was judged without opening the court, and as for the details, the person couldn't say clearly.

The case of selling smuggled salt is a crime of killing the head according to the law, but Master Su was sentenced to exile. Thinking that the Su family was ruined, Li Liangwei once had doubts about the prefect's discipline. But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that the prefect is not the one who is corrupt and perverts the law. The prefect is an official, clear and fair, and has a very good reputation among the people of Yizhou.

In this way, Li Liangwei was deeply impressed by Master Su's case.

Master Su's family was forced to pay debts, and the family was driven away, and Li Liangwei also heard from his colleagues. I remember that there were a few colleagues who sighed about this at that time, and he was quite sympathetic to this family, but he didn't want to become his neighbor.

Li Liangwei looked at Su Wanyu. I thought that the daughter of the Su family should be sad and miserable, crying and crying, but I didn't want to see Su Wanyu today, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, a pair of beautiful eyes shining brightly, and she carried the newly purchased objects neatly and happily. The crampedness didn't seem to have any effect on her, as if she was supposed to be so glorious wherever she was.

He retracted his gaze, not daring to surprise the beauty, but he worked harder in his hands, and the light clothes in the summer faintly revealed the lines of strong arms.

Here Li Liangwei was busy moving things, and Aunt Li and Mother Wu chatted.

Aunt Li and Mother Wu are about the same age, and they are cheerful and cheerful people, and they will become familiar with them after a while.

"Ahem, the dead ghost of my family, left early, and left us orphans and widows, thanks to the help of the neighbors, he has come over all these years." Aunt Li said.

It turned out that Aunt Li was widowed in her early years, but she was also a backbone, she was capable and able to endure hardships, and she worked hard to bring up Li Liangwei.

And Li Liangwei was born to practice martial arts, and he learned martial arts with a walking monk for a while, and his kung fu was very good. With this ability, he got an errand as a clerk in the government, and now he works under Zhang Dianshi. The mother and son are also bitter.

When they were young, after unloading the goods, Aunt Li's mother and son said goodbye and went home. So, Su Wanyu and the others thanked each other again, and Aunt Li waved her hand again.

After Aunt Li's mother and son left, Su Wanyu returned to her room and settled the accounts.

Holding the brush that Su Chengze had borrowed, Su Wanyu drew a T on the paper and wrote down their existing silver taels on the left side of the T.

The monthly money that Su Wanyu saved was twenty-five taels. It cost seven taels to dismiss the slaves, and this morning it cost another tael, and now there are seventeen taels left.

At that time, Mrs. Su gave almost all the silver taels that were used as household items in Su Mansion to Aunt Lin, and only kept five taels by her side. Su Wanyu asked Mrs. Su to keep it as her own money.

Yes, she now has seventeen taels on hand. On the left side of the T word, Su Wanyu remembered seventeen taels.

On the right side of the T word, Su Wanyu remembers the debts she still owes.

When Su Wanyu left Su Mansion, Su Quan'er gave Su Wanyu the account book for registration. But Su Wanyu only took a cursory look, and now she took a closer look. The figures in this ledger are all written in traditional capital letters, and the amounts recorded in them can range from a few taels of silver to hundreds of taels, densely recorded in the book. Su Wanyu is used to reading Arabic numerals, and it is really difficult to read such account books.

She had to make a careful identification with a pen and write down the amount in Arabic numerals to the right of the T.

Gradually, all the entries in the book were completed. After adding it up, the total amount of liabilities with interest was as much as 800 taels.
