Chapter 303: Poor Mother and Son
Ling'er came out of Lotus Village, her mood was still heavy, why did Grandpa Song die suddenly? Still dying near the city gate, no matter how you think about it, it feels strange.
The old man is old, has a good figure, and has no money on him, not to mention that he is still from Lotus Village, who would want to harm someone like the old man?
When he was worshipping the old man, Ling'er took a look by the way, and saw that his body was intact, his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be in pain when he died, so it wasn't robbed or hacked to death or something like that, so it couldn't be revenge, right?
It's a pity that I can't see if there are any scars on his body, and I just glance at him so quickly, and I can't see what the situation is.
The more Ling'er thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was strange, and she seemed unwilling to leave like this, so it was better to ...... Take a trip to Yamen?
So, Ling'er found a place to change her clothes, pretending to be a rich boy and going to the direction of the county government.
After changing her outfit, it was much more convenient for her to walk on the street, all the way over, the girls and girls all secretly sent autumn waves to her, Ling'er just smiled faintly, shook her head slightly, and swaggered forward with a fan.
The county government of Liancheng is directly opposite the main street of the city gate, and it is necessary to pass through the entire flower street to reach the county office. It's really intriguing!
She shook her fan and wandered to the door of the county office, and squinted at the official at the door with the posture of a superior person: "Hey, on an errand, your master?" ”
The official looked at Ling'er, he has seen a lot of this kind of gentleman, some of them are indeed from a strong background, and some of them are indiscriminate, as for the one in front of him......
The official said expressionlessly: "My lord is not available." ”
Ling'er was stunned for a moment. "It is his blessing that my son is willing to come to see him, if you don't tell him, wait until he wants to see this son. Hmph, that's too late. ”
The official was unmoved: "May I ask who is the surname of the son, and which mansion is from?" Is there a token? ”
Uh, this guy is not easy to fool, just report a name and go backwards, where can I get a credible thing? Or...... Go get one first? She coughed lightly, pointed at the servant and said, "This son is too lazy to tell you." We'll see. ”
Ling'er turned around and swaggered away, and the official behind him spat and scolded, "Dead boy." If you dare to make trouble again, see if grandpa doesn't beat you half to death. ”
Ling'er paused for a moment, and then continued to walk forward, thinking that all the officials in the world were as eye-catching as this guy. Then there will be no unjust cases. It's a pity that they never put their minds on doing things for the people.
Ling'er, who ran into a wall, came out of the county government and turned to the second street at the back of the main street to find a teahouse, usually the teahouse is the best place to inquire about the news, and this should be no exception.
She swaggered in, Xiao Er immediately greeted her with a smile, and seeing that Ling'er was dressed in a high-quality manner, she half-hunched her waist and said, "Childe, we have a first-class private room." There is the best girl in Liancheng, and if the son wants to try his luck, he can do it. I don't know how Childe wants to play? ”
Ling'er paused, isn't this a teahouse? How to pull business for Qinglou Casino? Seeing that Xiao Er was looking at himself, Ling'er took out a silver ingot and put it in his hand: "The little master is in a good mood today, I just want to sit in the lobby and listen to the book." ”
"Okay, okay, today's joke is the best, Childe, you came at the right time, please come here."
Xiao Er led Ling'er to the place closest to the listening table in the middle of the teahouse hall, where a middle-aged scholar was sitting on the stage and talking about the legend of the White Snake, but the content was different, and it seemed to have been changed into an inappropriate version for children.
The men under the stands slapped the table one by one, and there were some obscene/obscene words scolding the mother, Ling'er was nauseous, and did not sit down in that position, but walked to a relatively clean position in the corner.
She was bored with a teacup, pointed her ears to listen to the conversation of the people around her, and listened for a long time like the girl on which floor is delicate, the girl on which floor is soft, and the little girl on which floor is energetic, etc., no sentence is useful.
Ling'er felt bored, and wanted to get up and leave, but saw a mother and son walking in tremblingly in the direction of the door.
The woman walked in front slightly, holding a piece of paper in her hand and asking what on the table, the child followed closely behind, holding a broken bowl in her hand, and a tea guest was in a good mood to throw a few copper plates into it, the woman took out the paper and asked, and the other party immediately waved impatiently to drive them away.
By the way, the mother and son were the mother and son that Grandpa Song met when he took him into Lotus Village a few days ago, and he felt pitiful at the time, thinking that the woman had sold the child, but fortunately, the child was still by her side.
The mother and son were rushed back and forth without much gain, and soon arrived at the table in front of Ling'er. This time she saw clearly, the woman was holding a portrait of a good-looking young man, and she didn't look very good.
The woman held up the portrait and said tremblingly: "Uncle, have you seen him?" Is he my father-in-law? Have you seen it? ”
The tea guest waved his hand impatiently: "I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it, go away!" ”
The woman didn't have any expression, and turned to ask the next table, but the child stood in her position with a bowl and bowed her hand: "Uncle, okay, my mother is sick, give me some reward!" ”
The tea guest was even more impatient, and someone even pushed the child: "Go away, go away, bad luck!" ”
The child fell to the ground, the copper coins in the bowl were also spilled, the child quickly got up and knelt on the ground to pick up the copper coins, some of the copper plates have rolled to the tea table, he was kicked away by the tea guest as soon as he passed, the child was in pain and bared his teeth, but he still endured the pain to pick up the copper plates, but his mother turned a blind eye, just took the portrait and asked people from table to table.
A few juniors who rushed over after hearing the news hurriedly rushed up and scolded: "You broom star, why are you here again?" Our shopkeeper said, you dare to come to see each other again, don't blame us for being polite if you don't leave, go quickly, go quickly! ”
Xiao Er pushed and shoved the woman and drove her out, inadvertently tearing up the portrait in the woman's hand, the originally quiet woman suddenly went crazy, rushed up to tear up the portrait of Xiao Er and grabbed and bite, startling the people around.
Then the shopkeeper who came saw it picked up the teapot and smashed it on the woman's head, the woman's body shook, and she fell to the ground softly, and Xiao Er, who was attacked by her, had been caught and disheveled and covered with injuries.
Xiao Er hated his teeth and kicked the woman hard, and the child couldn't care about picking up the money when he saw it, so he jumped up and hugged his mother: "Don't hit my mother, don't beat my mother, my mother is from Baihua Palace, don't beat my mother." ”
Xiao Er stopped when he heard the words of Baihuagong, and smacked fiercely: "Bad luck!" ”
The shopkeeper pulled away Xiao Er and asked him to change his clothes, and ordered someone to throw the mother and son out of the door, and then gave up his hands to the tea guests, asking Xiao Er to send a pot of wine and a few side dishes to each table to apologize.
There was something free to eat, and the tea guests were naturally happy, and they each turned around and chatted with themselves, as if that scene had never happened. (To be continued......)
