Chapter 2: The stubborn Liu Jing
This Liu Wenjing has such a big pomp and a luxurious face, and as soon as he looks at it at this moment, he simply agrees to repay his debts. In this era when Confucianism has become the mainstream, and promises and faithfulness are still believed by the people of the time, as soon as he, a man, opened his mouth, all the creditors breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
At this time, Liu Wenjing turned to the big man, he stared at him clearly, and asked seriously, "What do you think?" ”
Facing his gaze, the big man couldn't help but think in his heart: His lord, these people who have read books, those eyes are really bright and timid. Thinking of this, the big man glanced at the second row of Tsing Yi people behind Liu Wenjing, and shouted in a rough voice: "You are a cheerful child!" Okay, within three months, you take out 1,000 taels of gold to settle this matter, and your Liu Mansion will still be the guest of my Zhao Jun, otherwise! He snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the road with the prodigals. He had to go, the man of the Liu family came back, and simply paid the debt, at this time, if he was entangled, he couldn't say where to put it, you have to know that they are the prodigals who are filling the field in this Yanghe County, not even a ranger. Besides, it's not easy to look at this Liu Wenjing.
It was only after walking out of Liufu that he exhaled a breath of turbidity, and thought proudly: The Liu family is not a good kid, I said a thousand taels of gold, and he didn't put a fart!
After all the creditors were gone, Liu's mother's hoarse voice came, "Wenjing, you come in with your mother." ”
"Yes."
As soon as Liu Mu and Liu Wenjing entered the wing room, they closed the door tightly. Then, she turned her head to look at Liu Wenjing. Under her gaze, Liu Wenjing knelt on the ground with a thud.
Liu Mu took two steps back, slowly fell softly on the collapse, and choked up: "Jing'er, if it's really your eldest brother who is back, how good would it be?" ”
Liu Wenjing, no, Liu Jing greeted her mother who was almost white overnight, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mother don't worry." In three months, my daughter will definitely be able to think of a way! ”
The voice is small, but it is categorical.
Liu Mu slowly raised her head.
Through her teary eyes, she looked at her daughter, who had no idea what she had put on her face, her skin was obviously darker and thicker, and her facial features had changed, and then at her boots, which had been covered with mud and had grown an inch or two in them. I couldn't help crying, "My son, I've hurt you......"
Liu Jing looked at Liu's mother with a white face, gritted her teeth and said firmly: "Mother, the child is not bitter!" ”
She walked in front of Liu's mother, slowly knelt down, held her mother's knees with both hands, looked up at Liu's mother, who had aged more than ten years in just two or three days, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you have to believe Jing'er." Seeing that her mother was still crying, Liu Jing whispered softly: "Mother, don't you believe in the child's ability?" You forget, when she was eleven years old, her daughter played against the Deng family Jiulang, lost him ten games in a row, and then spelled poems with him, and also killed him......"
Liu Jing didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Liu's mother was still angry until now. At that moment, she wiped her tears, and scolded in a hoarse voice: "Bastard, you are embarrassed to talk about Deng Jiajiulang!" You rely on a little cleverness, it's just enough to defeat him, and dare to speak wildly, wantonly humiliating the sister-in-law of the Nanyang Deng family, if it weren't for your father finding out the identity of Deng Jiulang, the family business would not be wanted, and the family got on the boat overnight, you ......"
Liu Mu stared at Liu Jing angrily with red eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Jing hurriedly lowered her head in shame.
Seeing her daughter so tame, Mother Liu sighed and muttered: "The events of the year have passed, anyway, in your life, you will not go to the imperial capital, you will not see the Deng family Jiulang, but you don't have to care." ”
It's just that speaking of this, Liu's mother already remembered the stubbornness of her own daughter back then, and thought that because her daughter offended Deng Jiajiulang that year, she fled her hometown all night, and met her husband's old friend Gu Gong on the road. Gu Gong is a county guard, his family education is very strict, and his style is upright, and Gu Gong has a son, and his talents and appearances are matched with Liu Jing.
But they didn't expect that when several adults were discussing here to make a marriage contract for this pair of children, on the other side, Liu Jing teased Gu Jiaerlang, who admired her and always followed behind her, several times. She first introduced Gu Jiaerlang into the bandits' den, and then she went to the beauty to save the hero...... It is also laughing and crying when it comes to things, those bandits really fell for Xiao Liujing's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and she brought Gu Jiaerlang back smoothly. At that time, the Gu family didn't know that this matter was originally the ghost of the Liu family's sister-in-law, and Gu Gong also praised Liu Jing's quick wit. It wasn't until a few days later that Liu Jing dug another pit and tricked Gu Jiaerlang into falling into the pit and starved for a day, and then pretended to work hard to find it, and deliberately jumped into the pit to spend the night with him, until the adults arrived and rescued the two. As a result, the process was seen by people all the way and poked out...... If it weren't for Liu Jing who was too stubborn back then, how could she be sixteen years old, and the Gu family would still not come to ask for marriage?
It was also after that incident that Liu's mother and Liu's father disciplined their daughter ruthlessly. In the past few years, Liu Jing's personality has become more and more gentle and responsible, and her behavior is quite classy, and she has finally let go of her mind as an adult.
Thinking about the past and thinking of the current situation in Liufu, Liu's mother couldn't help but think: Ajing's intelligence is far better than her brother-in-law, maybe she really has a way to solve this difficulty in Liufu......
Liu Jing looked at her mother's eyes that had obviously become brighter, and knew in her heart that her mother had regained her confidence.
At that moment, she stood up, took a deep look at Liu's mother, and whispered: "Mother, Ah Jing is not filial, Ah Jing took her mother's ancestral treasure jade and gave it fifty taels of gold, of which ten taels, and her daughter went as far as Wu County to hire these twenty prodigal sons outside...... The mother can rest assured that when her daughter pays off the debt, she will definitely redeem the treasure jade! ”
With that, she ignored her mother's heartache and relief expression, and slowly retreated.
As soon as she left the room, Liu's mother heard her daughter's calm voice say, "You have a good rest for one night and set off tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes." "Xiao Langjun is a happy person, just listen to your arrangement."
When the people in Tsing Yi were swarming to find a place to rest in Liufu, in the garden of Liufu, Liu Jing lowered her head thoughtfully.
At this time, a footstep came, and then, the cautious voice of the little sister Liu Xuan came from behind her, "Big brother, are you my eldest brother?" When Liu Jing looked back at her, the little girl flattened her mouth, rolled her big eyes and said crisply: "But eldest brother, you and my second sister are like each other." ”
Liu Jing smiled reluctantly at her sister's white, tender and delicate appearance, she lowered her voice and whispered: "Xuan'er, eldest brother still has something to do, you can play by yourself." ”
After that, she didn't pay attention to the little girl who was sullen with a flat mouth, and turned around and walked towards Uncle Wang who was not far away.
Striding up to Uncle Wang, who was cleaning up the messy and tattered yard, Liu Jing called, "Uncle Wang." ”
Uncle Wang knew her identity, and hurriedly whispered: "Second sister-in-law, you call me?" ”
Liu Jing nodded, took out a document from her arms and handed it to Uncle Wang, she glanced around carefully, then turned to Uncle Wang and said seriously: "This is my marriage letter with Gu Jialangjun, you rush to Poyang County, give what happened in Liu Mansion to Gu Mansion, and then, borrow 1,500 gold from Gu Mansion......"
Without waiting for her words to finish, Uncle Wang smiled bitterly and said, "Second sister-in-law, if the Gu Mansion can help, the adults will not speak to Zhao Xuan and other heroes." ”
He was telling the truth.
Liu Jing lowered her eyes and said softly, "I know they won't agree...... After they find a word to delay for a few days, you take out the marriage book again, and say that if the Gu family can come up with five hundred gold, the Liu family is willing to dissolve the marriage contract. Uncle remember, at least, the Gu Mansion also has to come up with three hundred gold before you can return this document to them. With that, she took out the Gu Mansion's love jade pendant from her arms and stuffed it to Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang hurriedly said, "Second sister-in-law, how can this be?" It's your life, you can't be so hasty! ”
Liu Jing looked up at him and said bitterly, "Uncle...... I am nearly seventeen years old, and I have been married for nearly a year. What's the point of keeping this kind of marriage? ”
Uncle Wang was speechless for a while.
After a while, he said sneeringly: "Then, does Madame know about this matter?" ”
Liu Jing smiled bitterly: "Uncle, the top priority is to collect the money to repay the debt and rescue my father again...... If you can get 500 gold from Gu's mansion, you may be able to solve a temporary difficulty. ”
As soon as she said this, Uncle Wang also understood the meaning of her words. Things have come to this point, it's a blessing to be able to get the money, where are there so many concerns?
At that moment, he sighed, nodded, put the paperwork in his arms, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry." Seeing that he agreed, Liu Jing nodded happily, and then commanded: "The wall has ears, call me Dalang!" ”
"Yes, Dalang!"
