The gorgeously dressed woman holding the tea cup showed displeasure on her face, and her slightly frowning eyebrows said to the maid with anger and coldness: "Country village girl? The tone was quite dangerous, and it also had a bit of flying and domineering pungency, which made people sound really uncomfortable.

The maid was not afraid: "Why, if you poke your sore spot, you will be annoyed and angry?" The master of my family is also from an official family, how can I allow you to cross over with a white body! ”

After that, the maid turned to the shopkeeper again: "If I make my master unhappy today, then I have to see you in court, and the words are clearly written in black and white, and we will not pay attention to the loss." What's more, our master's mother's family, no matter how you say it, is the seventh grade of the county, the official of the imperial court, I don't believe that the prefect will favor such a rural village girl! ”

The teacup in Zhou Lingqiao's hand flew out directly, full of resentment and tea smashed on the maid's head. The porcelain was shattered, and blood flowed from the forehead of the maid. Fortunately, after a long time, the tea has been warm, otherwise this maid will have a lot of guilt, and she will be scalded and disfigured.

Xue Linzi, who had just walked into Yunxiu Village, was startled by this scene, and then heard the maid sobbing and sobbing. But Xue Linzi didn't seem to buy it: he saw a lot of women crying on weekdays, and the most annoying thing for him was that women cried. The advantage of Zhou Lingqiao is that he doesn't cry.

"What's the matter, shopkeeper, you say." Xue Linzi lifted his robe and sat down opposite Zhou Lingqiao.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged woman, wiping a handful of sweat at this time, a little trembling: "Second Young Master Xue, that's the case, Aunt Cen asked for a cloud satin in Yunxiu Village a few days ago, because it was a style painted by Aunt Cen herself, so it was all made in Yunxiu Village, and it took time, so I paid a deposit." Tomorrow's delivery. Our Yunxiuzhuang hurried and hurried, and finally came out yesterday. Who knew that Aunt Zhou's grandmother came here today, and she was stunned to fall in love with this cloud satin. Be sure to buy it back. It just so happened that Aunt Cen's maid came to urge us to make progress, and we got into a quarrel. ”

Xue Linzi put away the folding fan in his hand with a "swish": "Then, shopkeeper, according to your meaning, how should this be handled?" ”

The shopkeeper secretly took a breath of cool air: This Second Young Master Xue is really cunning like a fox, throw this hot potato directly to Yunxiuzhuang! It's not that I heard that you are very fond of this ninth concubine, Aunt Zhou, so we don't want to offend without permission. Otherwise, according to Aunt Cen is the daughter of Taihe Zhixian, although she is a concubine, she is also a daughter. How dare we slack off!

"Uh, Second Young Master Xue, this, it stands to reason that this cloud satin should be Aunt Cen's. After all, it came first and first, and it was specially customized by Aunt Cen's grandmother. However...... "the shopkeeper's throughput is difficult."

Xue Linzi raised his eyebrows: "But what?" ”

"However, what Aunt Zhou and Grandma fancied, we in Yunxiuzhuang can't satisfy Aunt Zhou. It's really our Yunxiu Village that is incompetent, and I ask Second Young Master Xue to punish him! The shopkeeper's words were earnest.

In this situation, can you still keep yourself out of the matter and let the two aunts fight. Yunxiu Village sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight? Xue Linzi is not a fool, he throws hydrangeas and throws trouble at you, isn't he dissatisfied with you? Therefore. It's better to take the initiative to admit your mistakes and take the blame. It is said that he loves newcomers. Then beg for it!

It's a pity that Xue Linzi's reaction was beyond the shopkeeper's expectations: "You Yunxiuzhuang are at fault." But that's not the fault. What does it mean to force someone else to book something that is not right in the first place, and you don't stop it, but instead help the abuse? In addition, it seems that conniving at others to hurt people in Yunxiu Village is not a good thing, right? I am also a business person, and I still know the basic rules to be observed in business. ”

The shopkeeper was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down: "Second Young Master Xue, Yun Xiuzhuang knows his mistake, please punish Second Young Master Xue." ”

Xue Linzi shook his head and sighed: "There is no need to punish, you also know that I have always had a good temperament." Originally, as long as you stick to your principles, there is no need for me to run for this matter! Okay, what to do, I'll go first! He spoke in a lazy tone, shook his folding fan and walked out the door.

Seeing Xue Linzi leaving, the maid held the injured forehead and snorted coldly: "The wild sparrow is powerful, and I think that I can become a phoenix by flying on the branches, delusional!" Today's account will be doubled on you another day. Hmph, Aunt Zhou, wait and see! After speaking, she picked up the cloud satin wrapped in Yunxiu Zhuang and left proudly.

Zhou Lingqiao gritted her teeth, pinched the armrest of the chair and hated it: Hmph, isn't it just that she is afraid that her father is a magistrate, and her father is nothing? Otherwise, now, how could she let a maid show her face! Xue Linzi spoils her on the surface, but when she encounters interests, she will not be soft at all. If you don't have a mother's family and no support behind you, what if you get married, what if you're favored! Xue Linzi can be very generous in small things, and he can turn a blind eye, but what about big things?

Zhou Lingdexterity closed his eyes and sighed a little tiredly.

Ah Chou has been standing outside Yunxiu Village, and the movement inside can be heard clearly. She didn't think that Xue Linzi didn't want to offend Cen Zhixian and favored Aunt Cen. Tai Hospital judged the five products, or the Beijing official, the connections are complicated, will you be afraid of a small county? She didn't believe it!

In this game, it is clear that Zhou is clever and loses, and it is a loss. Xue Linzi didn't punish Zhou Lingqiao, but just blamed Yun Xiuzhuang for being confused, just to give Zhou Lingqiao face.

Moreover, how could it be so coincidental that Zhou Lingdextrously fell in love with that cloud satin? There are so many good things in Yunxiuzhuang, for Zhou Lingqiao only fancy that one? Why did Aunt Cen's maid come at this time and found out? If you want to say that this is all a coincidence, Ah Chou really doesn't believe it, eighty percent of it is Aunt Cen who is jealous of her favor, so she designed this one, gave her a set, and invited you into the urn. Zhou Lingqiao still relied on himself to be liked by Xue Linzi, so he didn't hide, and rushed straight up. If you don't hit her, who will you hit?

Today's downfall, Zhou Lingqiao is really, he deserves it!

But in the meantime, Ah Chou will not mention Zhou Lingdexterity, look at her own creation!

The more Zhou Lingqiao thought about it, the more angry he became, and slapped the table in Yunxiu Village: "Let's go!" Then he went out in a hurry.

Ugly dodged around the corner, not wanting to meet her. Zhou Lingqiao is now angry, and his old enemy will come over again, isn't that fixed on the cusp of the storm, looking for scolding?

What's more, she was beaten by her mother last time, although the relationship between mother and daughter is not good, but after all, she is a mother and daughter for more than ten years, and when she meets the outside world, she is still unambiguous, so she doesn't dare to come out as a target.

I saw Zhou Lingqiao stepping into the carriage and urging the coachman to hurry back to the house, I'm afraid that I will go back and plan to find someone who is unlucky, right?

Returning to Gujing Village from Qiaojun City, Ah Chou began to devote himself to the study of "Motherwort Fanglu", and no longer paid attention to other things.

On this day, Zhao San's sister-in-law came to visit the door and brought some things.

"The second brother of my family went to Huainan a while ago, no, I brought some things back." Zhao San's sister-in-law entered the door of the ugly courtyard and put down a basket.

Because of her good friendship on weekdays, Ah Chou didn't say anything polite to her, and flipped it over slightly, and there was still Lu'an tea in the ham: "What kind of good errand did Second Brother Zhao get this time?" ”

Ham is produced in Wuzhou, Jiangdong Province, and the price is expensive; Lu'an tea is a famous tea in Luzhou, Huainan Province, and it is not an ordinary tea. These two things are not a small amount of money.

Zhao San's sister-in-law sat down and took the lotus leaf tea handed by Ah Chou: "Your things are not always expensive, but they are always the rarest, and I have never seen such a fresh and unique tea in other places." ”

"Drink more if you like!" Ugly also sat down across from her.

Zhao San's sister-in-law took a sip and explained: "This time it's not a good errand, the main thing is to guess who he met!" ”

Ah Chou waved his hand: "How can I guess, there are so many people in this world, which fortune boy did he meet?" ”

"It's not a good money boy, although you don't recognize this person, but there is some connection." Zhao San's sister-in-law said with a smile.

"What's the connection?" Ugly wondered.

Zhao San's sister-in-law pointed to the roof: "It's the owner of your house." ”

"When I came to Gujing Village that day, this house, Tong Lizheng said, was originally lived by Lu Juren. Because he was lifted and got a job in Huainan, he moved away. Could it be that Second Brother Zhao met Lu Juren? Ugly expressed his speculation.

The Great Cadre Imperial Examination is much simpler than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The first step is the township test, which is sponsored by each province, which is equivalent to a provincial-level administrative unit. If you pass the exam, you can raise people, and you can't be an official directly, but you can generally get a job that the government has no grade. In modern terms, it can be regarded as a public institution. After the errand has been done for a long time, and there is a vacancy in the imperial court, you can be recommended by the prefect, assessed by the imperial court, and become a seven-grade sesame official, that is, the magistrate.

"Lu Juren went to Huainan to find an errand before, and now he has finally come out and wants to go to Shouyang to be the magistrate! It is the time to celebrate, and it is very generous to meet fellow villagers. Zhao San's sister-in-law explained.

The ugly raised his eyebrows under the veil: "No wonder he rises fast and is a good man." ”

Zhao San's sister-in-law was a little mysterious when she heard this: "Alas, I heard that there is more than that!" ”

Is there any gossip left? "Could it be that there is someone behind Lu Juren?"

"I heard our second brother say that Lu Juren's wife is the daughter of an official, and I can't remember what kind of official it is, anyway, it must be older than the county." Zhao San's sister-in-law revealed.

Ordinary Li people, most know the prefect of Ludao, the county, and catch fast, and the rest must be confused.

Ah Chou suddenly said: My father-in-law is an official, how can I not bring my son-in-law, and there will be a vacancy to be the magistrate so soon, it makes sense.

"Then Lu Juren will take office, will he return to the county?" Ah Ugly naturally cares, the house is here, if he comes back, he will definitely make room for others, and there is no reason to let the owner sleep in the wilderness, right?

Zhao San's sister-in-law waved her hand: "When Lu Juren went to Huainan, he didn't plan to come back, except for his sister who had already married out, even his parents and sisters followed." So don't worry, just live! ”

Even if you live in it, it won't work, this borrowed someone's house, no matter what, you have to pay rent, right? That's it, if you meet another day, you will be rewarded for your good life. (To be continued......)
