Let's say that Xianglan rescued Chen Wanquan from prison, and the group returned to Chen's house. Xue was lying on the bed with a frown, suddenly heard the noise in the courtyard, went out to take a look, and saw that Chen Wanquan was actually carried back, and couldn't help but be happy to descend from the sky. Jixiang and Shuangxi took the spring stool, sent Chen Wanquan to the bedroom, carefully put it on the bed, Xue stepped forward, gently opened his clothes and took a look, only to see that the thighs were swollen and hideous, and the thighs were all bruised, tied with bamboo splints, there was no benefit, a heart was pulled up, and when he went out to take a look, he saw Lin Jinlou sitting in the hall drinking tea with a golden knife.

Xue Shi didn't understand anything, so he immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The woman knocked on Uncle Lin for saving his life." The head hit the ground with a "knock" sound, Shuangxi hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said with a grin: "This can't be helped, hurry up." ”

Xianglan also went to help Xue, and Xue pulled Xianglan's sleeve and said, "Sister Lan, don't kowtow to Uncle Lin soon." Saying that, he was going to pull Xianglan and kneel.

Xianglan had a white face, looked up at Lin Jinlou, bit her lip, lowered her head, but never refused to bend her knees and kneel, Xue was displeased, glared at Xianglan angrily, pinched her hand, and said in a low voice: "Dead girl, don't kowtow to Uncle Lin soon!" ”

Lin Jinlou stood up and said lightly: "No need, it's not early, I should go back." Then he walked out.

Xue was busy pulling Xianglan all the way to see her off, with a smile on her face, and said: "The little girl's family is not sensible, and the uncle is not as knowledgeable as her...... Uncle, go slowly, we will go to the house to kowtow and thank you. ”

Lin Jinlou responded casually, and when he walked to the gate, he ordered others to retreat, only letting Xianglan come to him and said, "Pack up your things, I'll let someone come and pick you up tomorrow...... Forget it, the things are also cleaned up, you have nothing to take with your rags, and your clothes and jewelry are all new for you. ”

Xianglan was taken aback, and hurriedly begged: "My father just came back, and he doesn't have a good place in his body, I want to serve at home for two days......" Tears have fallen, "Please......"

"Tsk, tsk, why do you keep crying, as if the master is going to eat you." Lin Jinlou said as he stretched out his hand to wipe Xianglan's tears.

Xianglan wanted to hide, but she couldn't help but move. Such a obedient appearance with a drooping face made Lin Jinlou feel comfortable, pinched her little chin, and said with a smile: "Okay, Ye is a reasonable person, I will serve your father at home for three days, and I will send someone to pick you up." ”

"Uncle, let me stay a few more days, I don't know when I will come home...... For a hundred days, I only have an old lady and an ignorant little girl in my family......"

Lin Jinlou touched his chin and said, "Cheng, the master will send the two of them over when he turns around." Seeing Xianglan open her mouth to speak, she pointed her lips with her fingers, half-squinted and smiled: "Five days at most, little Xianglan, it will be annoying to sing 'Mile Erchang' to Ye again." As he spoke, he untied the red gold topaz pony pendant from his waist and hung it on Xianglan's waist, saying, "Go and serve your father, and think about how to repay me after being a filial daughter." Then he boarded the carriage and left.

Xianglan silently turned around and walked into the house, slowly closed the door, and turned her head to see Xue standing in the courtyard, with red eyes, shaking her lips and shouting: "Sister Lan'er......" and was speechless, obviously fully understood.

Xianglan walked over and forced a smile: "There's nothing wrong with this...... Daddy is back in a hurry, although the uncle's temper is not good, but the Lin family is a rich place, maybe I will be able to come back in a year or two......"

Xue couldn't help crying, hugged Xianglan, stomped his feet and said, "My daughter, you are such a smart and handsome person, you deserve the dignity of the wife of the main house, why is your life so bitter......"

This cry caused Xianglan to cry too, and she hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, but comforted Xue's family, and didn't mention it for the time being.

said that Han Yaozu was uneasy because he offended the Lin family, and he didn't sleep well all night. Early in the morning of the second day, Han Yaozu personally prepared a generous gift and went to Chen's house. The Chen couple couldn't help but be honestly afraid, Han Yaozu greeted Chen Wanquan, took out a letter of fifty taels of silver, and sent it forward: "The fact that the shopkeeper Chen was imprisoned by this prison is really caused by the official being deceived by the villain and listening to slander. Please also ask Shopkeeper Chen not to take it to heart, this official will definitely give Shopkeeper Chen an explanation! The words were high-sounding, but his eyes unconsciously slipped around, looking for Xianglan's figure.

When Chen Wanquan heard this, he felt that there was a great light on his face, he never expected that the majestic county lord in the public court would talk to him so kindly, he couldn't speak, and said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

I heard a sneer from the room next to me. Han Yaozu immediately knew that Xianglan was next door, and hurriedly said: "This matter was originally caused by the concubine of the Xia family, Xia Yun, as an official of the imperial court, connived at the concubine's room to tarnish the reputation of an innocent woman, and spoke evil words. ”

Xianglan was stunned when she heard it through the curtain, Xia Yun lost her errand in her expectation, but the punishment for removing her fame was too heavy. The literati imperial examination has always earned all the white heads in the world, Xia Yun was promoted in high school at a young age, and she had a good future. Although Xia Yun has something hateful, he is not a great evil person in the end, but he is a relative of his family.

I only heard Chen Wanquan say: "Lord Qingtian wants to be the master of Xiaomin's family, wow, we are honest and honest, never invite disasters and cause trouble, Xia Yun takes a fancy to my daughter, I don't agree with her mother, he insults my daughter's reputation, and his concubine wants to arrest and beat my daughter......"

Xue Shi said again: "Later, I went to Xia's house with Sister Lan to beg, and sent sixty taels of silver before and after, Xia Yun's mother, his second sister-in-law and the concubine forced Sister Lan to kowtow to Xia Yun......" said with a choked voice, and only after a pause did he say, "Where is this to reason, it is obvious that they are doing evil, but they let Sister Lan kneel down and apologize." As a result, Sister Lan kowtowed, and they didn't go to the yamen to withdraw the case, so we went to ask about it, but we were insulted in vain. ”

Han Yaozu said angrily: "There is such a fart thing! The Xia family is really hateful, and this matter will be taken care of by the officials to the end! ”

The Chen couple even called "the old man of the blue sky" more than once.

For a while, Han Yaozu left, and Chen Wanquan's buttocks and legs hurt badly, like a needle pricking a knife, and he started to burn again, and he was groggy. Not long after, someone came to call the door, it turned out that Shuran personally sent a mother-in-law and a small servant, and took out a letter of fifty taels of silver, and said with a smile: "This is the uncle who asked him to bring some food for the shopkeeper Chen to eat and replenish his body." The uncle can take the girl to heart, let me pick a few fine tribute satin from the treasury, and say that he will cut new clothes for the girl. ”

Xue hurriedly thanked him, but Xianglan looked upset and just stood aside and didn't speak. Shuran knew that she was unhappy when she saw Xianglan's appearance, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but she pulled the conversation away, said something on the side, and said goodbye.

Nothing happened for a while.

But said that Han Yaozu returned to the Yamen, and the first thing was to take Xia Yun's official position, and sent someone to ask Xuezheng, Jinling Xuezheng heard that Xia Yun had offended Lin Jinlou, and he was a person who had no foundation, how could he not agree, and immediately changed Xia Yun's fame.

When the news came, the Xia family seemed to have been struck by scorching thunder, Xia Yun was stunned at first, regardless of dizziness, got up from the bed and was about to go to the county office. When Han Yaozu saw him, he said: "Xia Yun, you are a dog, if you don't inquire about the background of the Chen family, let the concubine come to the door to make trouble, and if you ruin the reputation of other girls, how can people marry you?" And if there is trouble, it will be troublesome, and people will admit to the silver, why do they refuse to withdraw the complaint? Now that he has annoyed the Chen family, he invited Lin Jinlou to take action...... Alas, this is also your evil obstacle, killing people is not enough, and you have done some of it. ”

Xia Yun poured cold water on her head like a basin of cold water, and muttered, "I have already asked my family to come and withdraw the form...... Besides, I didn't sue at all. ”

Han Yaozu said: "It was your little concubine Yindie who came to the yamen to shout injustice." ”

Xia Yun was still stunned, and for a while, someone reported that a guest was coming, so Han Yaozu brought tea to the guest and sent Xia Yun away.

Xia Yun returned home dejected, and the family gathered in front of the door, and when they saw him coming back, they all surrounded him, and asked nonsense. Xia Yun seemed to be staring at her in a dream, and she just went to the house with straight eyebrows.

Yindie was holding a target mirror to the left and left, and when she saw Xia Yun entering the house, she hurriedly put down the mirror, got up and stepped forward and said, "Master, are you back, what did Han Zhixian say?" ”

Xia Yun raised her eyes in a daze, only to see Yindie smearing rouge and touching the powder, her face was bright, and she suddenly became angry, picked up her arm and slapped Yindie hard, and said angrily: "You slut did a good thing!" Who let you go to the Chen family! Who told you to go to the yamen to complain! ”

This palm made the silver butterfly take a few steps back, planted on the side of the kang, covered her face and cried.

Jin and Xia Er's sister-in-law were quietly guarding the door, and when they heard the movement, they hurriedly pushed the door in, and Xia's second sister-in-law asked in a loud voice, "What's going on?" Could it be that the little slut of the Chen family did it? How did my uncle's errand and fame be lost? ”

Jin rolled up his arms and sleeves and said, "If they make a ghost, I will definitely make him restless!" ”

Xia Yun trembled with anger, pointed at the Jin family and Xia's second sister-in-law and asked, "I asked you to go to the yamen to withdraw the case, why don't you go?" ”

Jin and Xia Er's sister-in-law glanced at each other, Xia's second sister-in-law refused to squeak, but Jin didn't care and said: "The Chen family has silver, how can it be enough to pay sixty taels?" You haven't seen how big the house is in his house, how many antiques and gadgets there are in the house, you are a dignified master, an official of the court, where is the gold expensive, in my opinion, if you don't pay two or three hundred taels, this matter will not be over. ”

Xia Yun's face turned into the color of pig liver, and she shook her lips and scolded: "Confused! Confused! My future is ruined by you! After scolding, tears rained down, the headache did not stop, and the legs were planted crooked on the ground as soon as they were weak. RS
