Mrs. Lin thought it was an acquaintance, and she was already very frightened, for fear that it was someone sent by Marquis An Yuan, and she didn't hold it steady in her hand, so she directly threw the box with the red agate head to the ground, and the other box, fortunately, Craftsman Zheng picked it up, otherwise I was afraid that the two boxes would be broken on the ground together.

"It's a pity...... the shopkeeper snorted a few times, his face was full of pain, this faceless matchmaker hasn't given the money yet, if she regrets it now, it will really outweigh the loss......

Mrs. Lin looked at the pile of broken heads on the ground, but she didn't feel very distressed, but turned her head to look at the person at the door, sure enough, it was Li Xiuniang who opposed her every time, and even sarcastically mocked Lin Mei in the county order last time, but Lin Mei ignored her at that time!

"Yo...... Such a good face was shattered like this, Mrs. Lin, you don't want to see if you can afford to pay for it! ”

Li Xiuniang looked at the head of the pile of red agate on the ground greedily, and secretly swallowed her saliva, she had never seen more beautiful jewelry, the color was uniform and clear, the surface was ruddy and shiny, I didn't expect it to be broken by Mrs. Lin like this, hum, this set of heads and noodles must cost at least a few hundred taels of silver, and then she would like to see how Mrs. Lin can afford to pay!

Mrs. Lin was still sent by An Yuanhou, but now she looked at it, it turned out to be Li Xiuniang from the same village, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and she didn't plan to care about her, but just took out a few silver tickets from her sleeve, and said to the shopkeeper in a harmonious voice, "Shopkeeper, I came out with this set of heads and the silver to repair the hairpin, how much does it cost, you say it...... As for this set of head faces. Please ask the shopkeeper to help me pick it up and put it in the box, and I will go back to pay for it. ”

Li Xiuniang saw that Mrs. Lin was neither humble nor arrogant, and she hated it. Xindao, I don't know where Mrs. Lin got so much silver, and she was so generous! It's a silver ticket of a few hundred taels casually!

"Master Zheng, no matter what, it's me who bothered you, please accept this little bit of kindness."

said. Mrs. Lin took out a delicately embroidered purse from her sleeve, which was bulging and heavy. It seems that there should be a lot of silver taels.

Craftsman Zheng was about to excuse herself, but at this time, Li Xiuniang snorted coldly and said to the shopkeeper in a sharp voice, "The shopkeeper." There is also no red agate head of the same color as this one. Bring me a set of bags, too! ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at Li Xiuniang a few times, his face was slightly disdainful, and he said in his heart Where did this come from, just dress so rustic, and make such a big slander, it's really not interesting...... If you offend this Mrs. Lin, you will really be yellow with this business!

Thinking so in his heart, he planned to directly open his mouth and let the apprentice in the store blast Li Xiuniang out.

People like they do business. You can tell at a glance whether the other party is really rich or not, and some people are even dressed in ordinary rags. But that temperament is different from ordinary people, but this Li Xiuniang is indeed obviously without money and temperament, he is really too lazy to spend time dealing with her!

Mrs. Lin glanced at Li Xiuniang in surprise when she heard this, as far as she knew, the Li family was not generous, especially Li Xiuniang went to school for her son, so she lived a simple life every day, why did she get a few hundred taels of silver all of a sudden?

Seeing Mrs. Lin looking at her in surprise, Li Xiuniang couldn't help but raise her head proudly, and also took out a silver ticket from her sleeve and threw it in front of the shopkeeper, and said proudly, "Shopkeeper, I'm rich, why don't you go and help me see if there is anything exactly the same in the warehouse as this set of heads, and then wrap it up for me...... Remember to be careful, or I won't want it if it breaks! ”

She said, and glanced at Mrs. Lin provocatively, I don't understand how Mrs. Lin could wrap up this kind of broken waste like a treasure!

The shopkeeper looked at the white taels of silver in Li Xiuniang's hand in a daze, and his face was even more disdainful, so he said directly, "This lady, the head of the red agate costs more than six hundred taels of silver...... You're so far behind! ”

Li Xiuniang's face stiffened, and she immediately blushed, and said angrily, "You just help me wrap it up!" I'll give you the rest of the money! ”

However, she said that although she said so, she was also stunned in her heart, she only had this white tael of silver in hand, if she really wanted to buy this set of noodles, I was afraid that there would be no money to pay the balance at that time, it would really make people laugh off their big teeth!

Mrs. Lin and Li Xiuniang have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, so they naturally know that she has no money, and she said this just to fight for a breath, but she didn't want to get mixed in, so she sighed and said, "Shopkeeper, I have eight hundred taels of silver here, and you can divide it with Craftsman Zheng yourself...... I still have some things, so I'll go first. ”

The shopkeeper heard this, his face was full of smiles, and he personally handed the broken set of red agate in his hand to Mrs. Lin, took the silver ticket in her hand, and said enthusiastically, "Madame, go slowly, please take care of our family's ......business next time."

The set of noodles is only more than 600 taels of silver, and Craftsman Zheng did not repair the hairpin of Mrs. Lin, and the regulations in Luo Zhenfang are not allowed to accept silver from guests, but since Mrs. Lin said so, he is embarrassed not to accept it, right? You know, this more than 100 taels of silver, even if it is spread evenly, it is a considerable amount!

Craftsman Zheng moved his lips, obviously very grateful for the generosity of Mrs. Lin, a craftsman like them who sells coolies is only a few hundred dollars a month...... Even if he is as skilled as him, he only earns a little more than one or two silver a month, and he earns it from hard work.

Li Xiuniang gritted her teeth, her eyes were swollen with red bloodshots, and she couldn't wait to eat Lin Matchmaker alive.

Over the years, every time she has fought wits and courage with Mrs. Lin, she has never won once, and what's even more tragic is that she was also cheated by Mrs. Lin and married an illiterate cripple as a daughter-in-law! Let her and her son endure the ridicule of the villagers!

At this moment, An Yuanhou came in with someone, and the shopkeeper saw the man's demeanor. I was immediately overjoyed, and my heart was really transferred today, so I would encounter so many wrongs! Just now, that Lin matchmaker threw a hundred silver. I don't know how generous this uncle will be......

"Madam, why haven't you come back after so long?" An Yuanhou smiled slightly, looked at Mrs. Lin holding two brocade boxes in her hands, and immediately motioned to the maid behind her to help Mrs. Lin hold them.

Mrs. Lin gave the two brocade boxes in her hand to the maid, smiled reluctantly, and said calmly, "I'm just going to go out." The old man came over......"

And Li Xiuniang on the side was already dumbfounded, if she said that Lin Mei married a golden beetle son-in-law, she would still believe it, but ...... Although Mrs. Lin said that she was a. The appearance is still there, but she can't stand the aging day by day, she has never seen this man, and she doesn't know where Mrs. Lin hooked up with the gold owner!

An Yuanhou didn't look at the people present. walked over and took Mrs. Lin's hand. Wen Yan said, "In this case, Madame has already bought the things that belong to her heart, so let's go, if it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Madame's yard today." ”

Mrs. Lin's palms were cold, so she could only smile and nod yes.

Once upon a time, there was never any mustard between her and An Yuanhou. And after seventeen years, she thought that the contradictions between the two should disappear. I don't know that it is deepening day by day, and until now, there is a long river between the two, but I am afraid that they will never be able to go back to the beginning.

"Slow down ......" At this moment, Li Xiuniang suddenly opened her mouth and called An Yuanhou, her eyes full of jealousy.

Mrs. Lin's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said to Li Xiuniang with a smile on her face, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce you to you...... Sir, this is my best sister here, surnamed Li ...... Ah Xiu, this is my husband, I used to have some conflicts with him, so I ran away with Mei'er willfully, and now that he came to me, I thought I was going to happily go home with him. ”

She was afraid that Li Xiuniang would be a demon moth again, so she pretended to be very intimate, but she didn't know that her appearance made Li Xiuniang even more disgusted.

"Who is a good sister with you......" Li Xiuniang rolled her eyes without giving face, squinted at An Yuanhou and Mrs. Lin, and said coldly, "That master, don't listen to her, after so many years, who knows what she is doing outside?" That's right...... Speaking of which, a few years ago, at night, I also saw her in the county magistrate's mansion, at that time Liu Xianling had just sent her out, and the two looked very close! ”

Mrs. Lin only felt a roar in her ears, and her face immediately turned pale, she thought that no one should see this matter, but she didn't expect it to be seen, and this person was still her sworn enemy Li Xiuniang!

An Yuanhou's face was really gloomy, and his originally good face suddenly became gloomy, and Li Xiuniang's words completely opened the knots in his heart.

Originally, when he heard that Mrs. Lin was hiding in Linshan County, he felt a little uncomfortable, and he only felt that Liu County Ling had concealed her situation from him, but now that he heard what Li Xiuniang said, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed suspicious......

Regardless of how Lin Matchmaker brought Lin Mei up alone, and besides, Lin Matchmaker was just a young lady at the beginning, she couldn't pick her shoulders and couldn't lift her hands, her ten fingers didn't touch the spring water, and she didn't have an accident at all, even if she saw a beggar on the street, she would be sad for a long time, and then give them dozens of taels of silver as a coil, so that they could go home and do a business.

Moreover, in the middle of the night, Liu Sutan sent Mrs. Lin out of the county mansion. No, the two of them didn't have a deep friendship when they were in the capital, how could it be that Mrs. Lin took care of her in every way as soon as Liu Sutan left the capital? It doesn't make sense!

Seeing An Yuanhou's face sank, Mrs. Lin hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "Master, it was only because Mei'er was sick that day and there was no extra money at home to see a doctor, so I went to ask the county magistrate for help...... I have no relatives here, and the only person I know is Lord Liu. Moreover, Liu Xianling was not in the mansion at that time, and it was the eldest daughter of Lord Liu who received me, and she was also Mei'er's best friend, and she was very anxious when she heard that Mei'er was sick, so I specially invited the doctor and the people in the mansion to accompany me...... When I met Lord Liu who was returning to the house at the door, I just said a few words of greeting......"

Her back was covered with cold sweat, and a bead of sweat dripped down every word she spoke, making her whole heart cold.

At that time, Lin Mei was indeed sick, but Mrs. Lin did say something to Liu Yufei, but at that time, when Liu County Ling returned home, the two of them did talk for a long time, but they didn't expect this to be seen by Li Xiuniang...... However, fortunately, she had already communicated with Liu Xianling, otherwise she was afraid that it would not be peaceful when she arrived in the capital in the future!

What kind of character is An Yuanhou, this matter is a family ugly, even if it is true, it can't let an outsider see the joke, so he didn't attack on the spot, but his tone was a little colder, "Madam, let's go...... I'm afraid I'm waiting outside. ”

Mrs. Lin was relieved, nodded in a cold sweat, and took An Yuanhou's hand and went directly out of Luo Zhenfang.

Li Xiuniang looked at the back of Mrs. Lin resentfully, gritting her teeth, and she didn't know whether her heart was sour or bitter; At this moment, the shopkeeper asked uninterestingly, "This lady, there is indeed an identical set of red agate heads in the warehouse, I don't know if you want it or not?" ”

"Don't!" Li Xiuniang grinded her teeth and looked at the shopkeeper viciously, and inflicted all the evil anger she had suffered from Mrs. Lin on him.

Let's talk about Lin Mei's side, she is now at ease with Shu Wangjin in the carriage, originally she wanted to inform Lin Matchmaker, but it can be said that An Yuanhou watched too closely, and almost never left Lin Matchmaker's side, plus Lin Mei also knew that her mother would not agree to "elope" with Shu Wangjin like this, so she didn't do anything and ran away directly at night.

Fortunately, Shu Wangjin took the overall situation into account and wrote a letter for Lin Mei to stay, otherwise I am afraid that An Yuanhou would still think that Lin Mei had encountered something wrong, and it should be all over the city looking for someone.

"Shu Wangjin, how long will it take to get to Los Angeles......

On the first day of going out, Lin Mei was still very excited, but on the third and fourth days, this excitement was completely grinded away, plus some water and soil adaptation, bumps on the carriage all day long, so her face also became yellow, and she was a lot quieter all day long.

Shu Wangjin sat next to Lin Mei, frowning slightly, seeing Lin Mei's drowsy look, she was also a little distressed, reached out and picked up the kettle that was put aside, and helped Lin Mei to lean on her shoulder, "There are still ten days to go......

He originally wanted to let the team speed up, but as soon as the carriage sped up, Lin Mei was even more uncomfortable, so there was no way to slow down the team. (To be continued.) )
