Chapter 17: A Dime a Dime
Yuan Shi was smashed, looking a little stunned, and after a while, she sat on the ground and wailed: "Kill a thousand knives, dumb and bully, selfishly ran to see Steward Zhao, and gave away all the money in our Yangjia Village, let alone give us a way to live in Yangjia Village." ”
With such accusations, many people really believe it. Whoever said at the beginning that if Ye Jinyu embroidered the bed tent well, Yangjia Village would have a lot more input.
Now that Ye Jinyu has gone to see Steward Zhao, the entry is naturally gone.
Ye Jinyu looked coldly at the Yuan clan who was sitting on the ground.
This woman's ability to reverse black and white is really strong.
Shen Zi nibbled on the steamed bun, but reached out to grab Ye Jinyu's hand, suddenly led her away, and walked towards the mountain.
"Stop, if you don't make it clear today, you're not allowed to leave." Li Zheng's face was gloomy, and he looked very scary.
Ye Jinyu stood still, but just pointed to the bed tent on the ground and smiled coldly.
The money is there, but you have wasted it.
Li Zheng didn't see the bed tent okay, but when he saw the bed tent being trampled on the ground, it was so dirty that he couldn't look at it anymore, and his face was gloomy and about to drip water.
"Whoever steps on the bed again, I will kick him to death."
Yuan Shi saw that the bed tent could no longer be used, and the twenty taels really flew, and she was so angry that she smoked.
Pointing at Ye Jinyu and said, "Li Zheng, this woman deliberately tricked us, search, she must have silver on her." ”
Ye Jinyu frowned, looking at these people with a vigilant expression, he never thought that a reckless man in the countryside was a reckless man in the countryside, shouting and killing at every turn.
In her plan, she never thought that these people would be so bold and bully their defenseless self so much in broad daylight.
If she is searched in the middle, this is a great shame, and she will follow her for the rest of her life. She wouldn't be able to hold her head up in front of anyone.
Ye Jinyu picked up a stone on the ground and made a gesture to throw it at them.
Li Zheng and the others are afraid of being smashed, and the thousands of actions that grab her seem timid, and the prime of life brought by Li Zheng has naturally been greeted a long time ago, and he only needs to control Shen Ziqing.
Shen Ziqing couldn't protect Ye Jinyu, and shouted anxiously.
Seeing this, Ye Jinyu gradually felt a wave of despair in his heart.
At this moment, a voice sounded very abruptly: "Is there an embroidery girl named Ye Jinyu in Yangjia Village?" ”
Ye Jinyu looked up and saw that it was Steward Zhao who he had just seen today.
She was surrounded in the middle, and Steward Zhao naturally didn't see her, but as soon as he asked like this, the crowd looked towards Ye Jinyu.
Steward Zhao saw Ye Jinyu, who had become very embarrassed in the pushing.
He remembered the words that his wife had ordered before he came out, his brows furrowed, and his face was displeased: "Who is bullying you in broad daylight?" ”
When the Yuan family and Li Zheng saw Zhao Guanshi, they already understood in their hearts that this matter was a bit bad.
The two hurriedly stepped forward: "Steward Zhao, take a look, you are here, we have never greeted you from afar, and we still let you see such a picture, I am really sorry." ”
Steward Zhao knew that Ye Jinyu couldn't speak, and Shen Ziqing was a fool, so he wanted to know the whole story, so he could only ask Yuan and Lizheng: "Such a picture?" Are you bullying them? ”
"Of course not." Yuan's hurriedly denied it, and was glanced at by Steward Zhao, so she smiled: "You don't know, this woman's mind is really terrible, we embroidered the bed tent that our mother rushed to make overnight, and I originally wanted to send it to Mrs. I, but unexpectedly, because of the preciousness of the gold thread, it attracted a thief." ”
"You mean, she stole this bed tent?" Steward Zhao pointed at Ye Jinyu.
Yuan Shi nodded hurriedly: "That's right, that's it." ”
Ye Jinyu sneered again and again beside him, in the world, there is only the Yuan family, who can talk about the dead and the living, and the black as white.
And himself, listening to the slander of others on the sidelines, can't refute a word.
Shen Ziqing's mind was no longer on that, as soon as Steward Zhao appeared and others relaxed their restraint on him, he hurriedly ran over to protect Ye Jinyu, for fear that she would be bullied again.
Yuan said, Li Zheng continued: "Steward Zhao, you don't know, the cooperation with your mansion, it was originally me who was in contact with you, but I don't have a lot of things, Yuan's talked to you well, so she contacted you, I look at it very well, I thought, the family is unfortunate, there will be such a thing." ”
Although they did not name Ye Jinyu as a thief, it can be heard from the words of Li Zheng and the Yuan clan that they mean this.
After hearing this, Steward Zhao pretended to be surprised: "Is this really the case?" ”
"Naturally, if Steward Zhao has any doubts, you can ask our villagers for verification." Rizheng said.
Steward Zhao is so sure, Ye Jinyu can't fight them, it's nothing more than relying on the fact that there is no one around her, and the only one is Shen Ziqing and a fool. Not a top deal.
Everyone accused her of stealing, but she couldn't speak, and it wasn't just what they said.
Steward Zhao looked around, and although everyone did not echo Li Zheng's words, they were unwilling to stand up and help Ye Jinyu clarify.
He shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that Yangjia Village, which could cultivate such a clever embroiderer, would be a place of outstanding individuals, but I didn't know that this place was so barren." ”
Li Zheng glanced around suspiciously, Yangjia Village was not barren, at least, compared to the surrounding villages, they were much richer.
"Steward Zhao, our village is the richest of the few nearby villages, how can it be said to be barren." Li Zheng smiled.
Steward Zhao glanced at him, did not continue to speak, but walked up to Ye Jinyu is and asked, "Do you have any way to prove that the thing is from you?" ”
Ye Jinyu slowly blessed her body, and then she gestured to the posture of embroidery, which meant that she could embroider on the spot.
Yuan was dumbfounded at first glance.
Steward Zhao looked at Ye Jinyu so much, why is this? Also, if Jean really let her embroider in public, what she just said would not be exposed.
She stood up anxiously: "No, women's embroidery, how can you let a man watch from the sidelines." ”
The crowd around them burst into laughter.
Let me ask, the men present have never seen a woman embroidery, this is not a private matter, why can't you watch it?
Yuan Shi heard everyone laughing, and then he realized what he had said, and his face instantly turned red.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't find the words, so I had to turn around and run.
Seeing this, Steward Zhao already understood a little bit in his heart, and secretly ridiculed himself, these rural village women, they don't have any ability and learn from other people's tricks, he is doing things in big households, and he has long been used to seeing the intrigue in the backyard of big families, where can he not see what this Yuan family wants to do.
He glanced at Ye Jinyu again.
The mute girl who was supposed to be bullied to cry bitterly, or with a face full of grievances, stood there calmly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, looking like the head mother of a big family, full of momentum.
Steward Zhao was also frightened by what he thought, and shook his head and smiled helplessly: "It seems that Ye Shi has scared people." ”
Ye Jinyu was amused by Steward Zhao, she didn't think about it, Steward Zhao turned out to be a wonderful person, and it was just right to damage people.
Li Zheng's face was blue and white for a while, it was very exciting, and he didn't dare to say anything at this time.
Ye Jinyu had no choice but to bless Steward Zhao again, and made a gesture of please, she meant to embroider it to Steward Zhao in public, naturally she couldn't break her word.
In fact, she didn't have to do this, Steward Zhao had already believed her, so he said: "Our wife is very fond of the embroidery of the little sister-in-law, and specially ordered the old man to invite the little sister-in-law to the house as a guest, and the lady has something to ask for advice on the embroidery." ”
Ye Jinyu dressed up as a woman, and Steward Zhao shouted a little sister-in-law, which was understandable, after all, he always thought that Shen Ziqing was her husband.
Ye Jinyu nodded, but when he looked at the bed tent on the ground, he hesitated.
Steward Zhao followed her line of sight and saw that the bed tent on the ground was muddy and no longer usable, and he was furious.
"Who did this?"
Although the bed tent is from Ye Jinyu's hand, this silk and gold thread belong to the Zhao Mansion, and now that the thing is destroyed, the loss of the Zhao Mansion is even greater, not to mention that this thing is the love of the lady's heart.
"It's been lost, and a few of them have stepped on it." Shen Ziqing suddenly said something startling next to him.
It was too late for Li Zheng to stop him, and Steward Zhao's eyes had already fallen on him.
"Steward Zhao, this is all a misunderstanding."
"Steward Zhao, you dissipate your anger, the bed tent, let's wash it clean......" Qian Shi rushed over, only having time to hear Shen Ziqing's words. Naturally, she thought this was the case and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"The things of the Zhao Mansion dare to touch casually, I see that you have rebelled one by one." Steward Zhao was furious, so that Li Zheng and the others didn't dare to gasp.
"Lose money." It's still Shen Lang's voice.
Qian Shi glanced at him fiercely, and cursed in a low voice Shen Zi for lacking heart and eyes, and short-lived ghosts.
Shen Zi gently took Ye Jinyu's hand, looking aggrieved whether he wanted to cry or not: "Aunt Qian scolded me." ”
The wonder is that this Aunt Qian, looking at the family is still a child, and she is still playing tricks, but scolding people in the field is really contemptible.
Ye Jinyu patted Shen Ziqing's shoulder and shook his head at him.
Steward Zhao was like an initiation: "Yes, pay silver, twenty taels of silver, not one of them can be missing." ”
The so-called feng shui turns, it was Ye Jinyu who was blackmailed for twenty taels of silver, although this time it was not the Yuan family, but it was Li Zheng, think about it, as the head of a village, will Li Zheng ask for it from the Yuan family?
"No, Steward Zhao, this bed tent ...... This bed tent was soiled in Ye's hands, and it has nothing to do with us, and she will pay for it. When Li Zheng heard that such a sum of money was to be compensated, his feet trembled with fright.
Steward Zhao glanced at him: "Later, I will send someone to sign the IOU, this is a little relief I give you, if you quibble again, I will let you pay off the twenty taels of silver immediately, otherwise the government will see you." ”
Li Zheng didn't even dare to be angry at this time, twenty taels is a drop in the bucket for the Zhao family, but if it is placed here in Li Zheng, this is an astronomical amount, and he can't take it out, if he really provokes Zhao Steward because he said one more thing, and is arrested to see the official, then everything is over.
Qian couldn't think of so much, so he gave Li Zheng a look on the side, twenty taels, but not twenty copper plates, taking them out is equivalent to taking her life.
What did Ye Jinyu say, after Steward Zhao dealt with this matter, she got into Steward Zhao's carriage, took Shen Ziqing, and went to Huaxi Town.
She left, naturally she didn't know, because of the twenty taels of silver, Qian and Li Zheng quarreled, and Li Zheng slapped Qian because of this, and Qian wanted to go back to her parents' house.
The Qian family couldn't leave, Li Zheng didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, he ran to the Yuan family viciously, and asked the Yuan family for the twenty taels.
As a result, there was naturally another wave of chickens and dogs.
Ye Jinyu took Shen Ziqing all the way to Zhao's house, it was already night at the moment, and the guests who came to Zhao's house as guests had already left, there was no noise during the day, and the Zhao family looked a little quiet.
