Chapter 14: Master Min
"You will see a lot of people putting white money on the table, and I have two copper plates on me...... At last he came back with only ten denarii, and then he came to you. ”
The vicious old woman's eyes flickered, and her bad thoughts came: "You also heard what the village said just now, and the seal of the county master on the book cannot take effect, so ...... Hehe...... The place you said, you must take us there in person tomorrow, and if you dare to lie to us, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
"Of course, that's of course." Lin Xiaoyan nodded hurriedly and replied.
"Little sister, brother-in-law still wants to ask you, is the place you said you can go to get money every day?" The old bachelor asked.
"Well, you can go there several times a day." Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoyan looked a little sad, and said in a full tone: "I just made ten taels of silver because I didn't have much money on my body, if I had more money on my body, I would be like them, I would take off my clothes to load silver, and I saw a lot of people walking all the way to drop the silver, hey......"
The waterside village is poorer than Niutian Village, and the village chief occasionally goes to the county seat several times a year to find the county master to do things, and the people in the village have never been out of the waterside village almost to death, and no one knows what the gambling house is?
After a short period of contact, Lin Xiaoyan was sure that the vicious old woman in front of her was even more greedy for money than the Li family, as for the old bachelor, she was a mother's treasure man at first glance, not only wanted to force Lin Xiaohua to pick up customers just now, but now she also wanted to threaten her, Lin Xiaoyan naturally would not let them have a good life in the future.
Since ancient times, people who are addicted to gambling have mostly separated their wives and families, and the more they gamble, the more they lose, and once they are obsessed with gambling, they will not escape the fate of gamblers for the rest of their lives.
Like the vicious Mrs. Lai, who is greedy for money, it will not take a day to export all the six taels of silver that have just arrived and have not yet been hot.
At this time, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the dark night, and said again: "It's not early, I'll take you there early tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay." The wicked old woman threatened again: "I advise you to do what you say, or we will not let you go." ”
Lin Xiaoyan nodded, looking at the backs of the two leaving, with an indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth.
Returning to the house again, the village chief took the lead and asked, "Are things all settled?" ”
"Well, that's done." Lin Xiaoyan replied: "However, village elder, I still have one more thing to ask for. ”
After that, Lin Xiaoyan bent her knees and knelt directly on the ground.
"Little girl, what do you mean, get up and speak." The village chief said
"Village chief, the daughter and her sister are helpless in the waterside village, and they want to borrow a night tonight, this is the house money." After Lin Xiaoyan finished speaking, she took out the remaining two taels of silver from her arms and handed them to the village chief.
In fact, even if Lin Xiaoyan didn't speak, the village chief wanted to keep her here for one night, after all, he knew too well the people of Zhao Guang's family.
And she is only thirteen years old, and it is really rare to spend money to buy Lin Xiaohua back when Lin Xiaohua is in dire straits, and he admires such a little girl in his heart.
"Little girl, you are too polite, two or two rooms in our house are empty." The village chief's wife took the money, smiled and guided the three of them, and when she accidentally saw Min Huaiye, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: There is only such a beautiful boy in the world.
It didn't take long for the village chief's wife to take the three of them to the two idle guest rooms at home, because she didn't know what the relationship between Min Huaiye and Lin Xiaoyan was, and she didn't know how to allocate the room for a while.
"Madam, you sleep with your sister tonight." Min Huaiye looked at the village chief's wife and smiled.
"Min Huaiye, who is your wife?" Lin Xiaoyan hurriedly replied, looked at Lin Xiaohua beside her, and immediately explained: "Sister, don't talk nonsense about Min Huaiye, I am innocent with him." ”
"Dare to ask, is it Min Huaiye, who was admitted to Xiucai at the age of ten?"
When Lin Xiaohua was still in Niutian Village, he heard that there was a prodigy in their village, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of ten, not only that, but he also wrote well, and in his spare time he would help the villagers write some family letters
If such a man is her brother-in-law, that's fine.
She also heard that scholars are very knowledgeable and reasonable, and they will not beat their wives with sticks, let alone force them to become prostitutes.
It seems that she has time to persuade her sister.
"Sister Hui's words, Xiaosheng is Min Huaiye, who was a talent in the ten-year-old examination and a person in the thirteenth exam." Min Huaiye confessed when he saw it.
"You are Min ......" The village chief heard the voice here and walked over, but he happened to hear Min Huaiye's self-introduction, and he was dumbfounded.
It's just that before the word "Huaiye" was spoken, he was inadvertently glanced at by him, and he was so frightened that he immediately changed his tone and shouted: "Master Min." ”
Hearing this, Min Huaiye showed a shallow smile and replied: "The village elder praised it in seconds." ”
The village chief's knees were weak and he knelt directly on the ground, and when his wife saw it, she stepped forward to help him up and said, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, my legs are sick, but my legs are easy to be weak after standing for a long time, you help me go back to the house to rest." The village chief said.
After the village chief's wife opened the doors of the two rooms, she didn't care about how they slept tonight, and helped the village chief back to the room.
Min Huaiye smiled politely and said, "Good night, madam." Then, head towards the room to the left.
"Sister, this young man is good, let him propose to his mother." Lin Xiaohua took Lin Xiaoyan's hand and walked into the room and said.
"Sister, don't make fun of me, he ...... I don't like it at all, what he likes is Shangguan Jing, don't say it's me, we people in Niutian Village know about it. ”
Lin Xiaoyan explained.
If she wasn't afraid of fighting with Zhao Guang, how could she bring Min Huaiye over, and Mrs., she saw that Min Huaiye was called like this when she saw it.
Lin Xiaohua didn't know that more than half a year ago, Lin Xiaoyan was scandalized because she saved Min Huaiye, and a good girl was said to be a nymphomaniac.
This night, the two did not chat like they did when they were children, but quickly fell asleep.
The next day, before dawn, there was a knock on the door of the village chief's house.
"Lin Xiaoyan get up quickly and take the old lady to the county seat to grab money." The wicked old woman shouted.
"Broom Star, hurry up and open the door, I'm going to accompany Daddy and Grandma to get the money." The voice of the second girl also sounded.
"Stinky woman, if you want to completely cut off the relationship with Lao Tzu, hurry up and open the door, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind." Zhao Guangzhu knocked on the door of the village chief's house.
The village chief's wife walked out of the bedroom with a gloomy face and a frown, and saw Min Huaiye's figure, he was walking extremely fast, and there were even some superimposed ghosts.
With a "squeak", the village chief's wife saw that the door of her house was opened.
Immediately, a voice full of majesty sounded, and even she was startled.
"Shut up."
