Chapter 36: What About Dignity?
"This woman is really shameless, such a rich family, but she can't satisfy her insatiable appetite."
"This brother, how do you think that this woman is insatiable? I look at this woman's beauty, and it is not surprising if she treats money like dung and runs away for love. ”
A scholar questioned another older man, who was dressed like an account office.
The account room listened to the scholar's words and scoffed: "Ridiculous, this woman is Mrs. Ouyang, a woman who married a woman, and fornicated with a man, this is to dip in the pig cage and run away for love?" It's a big fallacy. ”
The scholar said: "What Mr. said is very true, Xiaosheng failed to notice the word Mrs. ”
Ye Jinyu took a deep breath and suppressed the surging anger.
Ouyang Chi is really generous, the notices have been posted in Huaxi Town, listening to his tone, he doesn't know where she is, so he posted the notices widely, hoping that those in the know will tell him that five hundred taels of silver will be rewarded.
She's worth five hundred taels of silver, and she's really calculating.
"How can this woman come to us from Kyoto, a hundred and eight thousand miles away." Others opened their mouths to add their own opinions.
Ye Jinyu knew very well in his heart that Ouyang Zhonghou was afraid that he would report her whereabouts to Ouyang Chi, and Ouyang Chi directly ordered that all the networks that could be used by his caravans, trading houses, etc., imprisoned her in place, and it was difficult to fly.
Ye Jinyu sneered, Ouyang Chi really wanted to kill her all, his hand stretched out so long, from Kyoto to Huaxi Town, so, did he want to kill her here, or did he want to capture her alive?
Scold!
"Lady, shall we go buy meat buns?" Shen Ziqing suddenly pulled her to the side, and walked towards the bun shop with an excited face.
When he arrived at the steamed bun shop, he shouted excitedly: "Boss, I want two meat buns." ”
The change came too fast, Ye Jinyu was in a trance for a while, this feeling was as if her heart was about to gush out of anger frenzy, and suddenly, she was slapped back with a palm, and instantly became calm.
"Lady, take a bite?" Shen Zi lightly held the bun to her lips, looking at the demeanor of the people around him, his hand seemed to have been raised for a long time, but he was very patient, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not change.
Ye Jinyu had no choice but to take a bite.
Meat buns are extremely lowly food for Ye Jinyu, but when she bites into her mouth, she tastes something she has never tasted before.
couldn't explain it clearly, but it made her linger.
"Is it delicious?" Shen Ziqing's face was serious, and he was still a little nervous when he looked closely.
Ye Jinyu couldn't taste what that feeling was, nodded randomly, and sent him away, but saw that Shen Ziqing's original apprehension was gone, and was replaced by ecstasy: "I knew you liked it, and I gave you both of them." ”
She shook her head: I was too full to eat breakfast.
Shen Zi thought about it lightly and took one of them in his arms: "Then I'll put it in my arms and take it out when the lady wants to eat it, so that it won't get cold." ”
Ye Jinyu was stunned, and more complex emotions surged in his heart, and he said in his heart, this fool, this is to use his body temperature to warm this bun in his arms.
Thinking about Ouyang Chi at the beginning, even when the two of them were the most affectionate, they had never been so attentive to her.
Thinking that Shen Ziqing is now, her mind is different from ordinary people, but it makes her see the pure heart, which she feels is particularly precious.
Open your mouth to him and say, "Go back."
Shen Zi smiled lightly, followed by her side, and left the bun shop, one of the hands was very precious holding the bun in his arms.
Ye Jinyu glanced at it, and when she saw him so cautious, her heart warmed, and she secretly said that she was a fool.
returned to Ruyizhai, but saw the housekeeper turning around anxiously, and when he saw her come back, he rushed to see a savior: "The owner is looking for you." ”
Ye Jinyu's heart instantly understood that the county order had seen the notice. It seems that she may not be able to stay here for long.
She nodded, and followed the steward to the prefectural order.
In the account room, the county magistrate held the account book, his face was uncertain, and after he let out a long sigh, Ye Jinyu walked in.
Seeing her, the county magistrate stared at Ye Jinyu for a moment, and asked, "You must know about the notice." ”
Ye Jinyu nodded.
Aunt Zhang brought the news over, maybe it was instructed by the steward, she doesn't like to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and she is happy to talk about something.
"Ye's, your embroidery work is very good, and it can be seen in the account book that because of you, Ruyizhai's profits have increased thousands of times."
Ye Jinyu didn't know that Ruyizhai's previous business was so bleak.
The county commander sighed: "But, why are you Mrs. Ouyang?" ”
Ye Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the county order in disbelief.
She understood that the county order said that it was confirmed, not asked, and he found her only after confirming her identity.
So, what is the significance of the prefectural order?
Ye Jinyu pretended to be calm, looked at him seriously, and looked at him with a sense of calmness, but only she knew that her palm was going to pinch her blood.
"Nervous?" The prefectural order asked.
Ye Jinyu smiled faintly.
"Haha, it's so bold, I've already seen through my identity but I'm still so indifferent, do you think I won't do anything to you, or do you think you can deal with the current situation?"
Ye Jinyu still smiled, took pen and ink, and wrote to the county order: Whether I am Mrs. Ouyang or not, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the county order, if because of my identity, you push out a lot of silver, the county commander is willing to do it, but I am reluctant.
The county commander looked at it and was happy: "Mrs. Ouyang, you are really bold, you really don't know what kind of existence your husband, Master Ouyang Chi Ouyang, is in Kyoto?" ”
Ye Jinyu really didn't know, she only knew that Ouyang Chi was a rich businessman, and it would be far-fetched to say that he was rich enough to rival the country.
In addition, she didn't know what kind of identity Ouyang Chi had, which made a county magistrate feel scruples.
Think about it, since ancient times, Shinong industry and commerce, business is the end, even if there are thousands of family property, it is not as noble as half a finger of a scholar.
Ouyang Chi is an out-and-out businessman, what kind of feared identity can he have?
"Seeing Mrs. Ouyang's blank face, you must not know, so let's go." The prefectural commander waved his hand, as if he was going to wave something away.
Ye Jinyu wrote again: Please don't call me Mrs. Ouyang, now I am the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. ”
"Are you the daughter-in-law of the Shen family? Are you unable to make this county order when I am an ornament? Do you have a marriage certificate between you, and I still don't know? ”
What the county order said is indeed true, she and Shen Ziqing are not really husband and wife, and there is no marriage certificate between them.
Aunt Wang was able to say unashamedly in front of Li Zheng and others that the two of them had worshiped heaven and earth, but there was no marriage letter, and the relationship between them was not justified.
She knew it in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it.
If she could, she naturally wanted to be justified, and Mrs. Ouyang's identity was really embarrassing. It's a pity, she is not Ouyang Chi who has given up, she has not taken a leave of absence, she is still Mrs. Ouyang.
That's what the prefectural ordinance says.
Ye Jinyu felt a little uneasy inexplicably in his heart.
"Okay, seeing that you really think you are the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, I won't block you...... Your face, is it real or fake? The prefectural order stared at her already lumpy face.
After taking Dr. Wen's pill, her face suddenly began to scab, covering layer by layer, and now it covered her right cheek.
That's why, just now she stood in front of the notice with a big grin, and didn't let anyone discover her true identity.
Today's Ye Jinyu looks like no salt, ugly, and a normal man, and he doesn't want to look at her more.
I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night.
Ye Jinyu touched his face and nodded.
"Haha, it's really yours, Mrs. Ouyang is young and beautiful, which can be called the beauty of the country, and you don't hesitate to ruin your appearance in order to hide your identity, which is ruthless enough."
Ye Jinyu couldn't understand what the county order meant, and wrote directly: Since the adults can see the difference between me, then it is naturally easy for me to hide my identity, but I make no secret in front of the adults, and I hope that the adults can also tell me frankly, to me, what do you plan. ”
The county magistrate stared at Ye Jinyu for a while, and smiled: "If I want you to restore your appearance and marry me as a concubine?" ”
Ye Jinyu immediately wrote: Forgive me.
The county commander shook his head and smiled: "Look, with such a pungent temperament, where is this going to put yourself?" If you know how to be nice to that fool, you shouldn't refuse my request. ”
So, the county order wants to threaten her with Shen Ziqing?
Is it really so despicable?
Ye Jinyu stared at him for a while, and continued to write: A fool is just a fool to me, is it possible, do you think you can still threaten me with him?
The county commander raised his head and laughed: "It's really interesting, originally I didn't believe that you abandoned Ouyang Chi and eloped with someone, but now it seems that I believe it." ”
It turned out that the news that came out of Kyoto was that she had an affair with someone and eloped? Is this what Ouyang Chi means or what Lan Cai Butterfly means?
Or is that what Ouyang Zhonghou said?
"Looks like you're angry? Ye Shi, if you promise me, I can guarantee that you will be able to take revenge. The prefectural order said.
Ye Jinyu smiled and wrote: I have no grievances with anyone.
"Ye, I'll give you three days to think about it, you may not know that Ouyang Chi is more than halfway through his journey, and he can reach Huaxi Town in less than seven days."
Ye Jinyu couldn't hide her emotions, even if there was a wolf in front of her, she didn't hide her emotions.
The county commander looked at the anger on Ye Jinyu's face and smiled brightly: "It's not a terrible thing to be an enemy of someone, I'm afraid that I won't be able to trample the enemy under my feet." Ye, think about it clearly, this official can help you. ”
The county order left for a long time, and Ye Jinyu still sat in the account room without moving.
In her mind, it was like being swept by a storm, so she couldn't keep calm, she only felt that she had too much to help herself.
I thought that revenge and hatred would be enough as long as silver, but I never thought that the road of revenge was originally a Shura road, and there were naturally Shura on the road.
The identity of the county order, Ye Jinyu has heard of it, he is a person from Kyoto, and making a county order here is just a step for him to promote, and his backer is said to be a prince.
If the county order opened his mouth and could help her avenge her hatred, perhaps, he could really do it.
"Lady, you've been in it for a long time, and the buns are going to be cold." Shen Ziqing's voice suddenly sounded, which made her excited, and hurriedly walked out to stop Shen Ziqing from entering.
The three-day time is not long, it is not short, it is not short, it is clear that the days are like years, but in the blink of an eye, the three-day deadline has arrived, and Ye Jinyu has not yet thought clearly whether to agree to the county order.
She is the concubine of the county order, at best, she is funny, and when the county order is happy, she can live smoothly.
But what about dignity?
She was reluctant to give up this thing, even if it didn't help her at all and would drag it down, she didn't think about giving up.
"Lady, are you in a daze?" Shen Ziqing's hand shook in front of her.
