After settling Huang Wei and making sure that she would not go to a dead end with people behind her back, Lu Nianjin and Huang Lun left the Zhou family.

On the way back, Huang Lun's previously calm face was full of anger. He hated, very shameless of the Zhou family, and actually did such an ugly thing as degrading his wife as a concubine, hating why his eldest sister didn't explain the matter to the family at the beginning, he hated himself even more, he only knew how to read on weekdays, and he never cared about the eldest sister carefully, even Tingzhi, the cousin who had just arrived at home.

All kinds of emotions were churning in his heart, and his steps were getting faster and faster.

In the end, Lu Nianjin couldn't keep up with him, and seeing him walking in an unfamiliar direction, she stopped him and frowned, "Big brother, the road ahead is not the way back to the village!" ”

"I don't plan to go back to the village," Huang Lun stopped, glanced back at him, his face tightened, and explained irritably, "The family will definitely not be able to raise a thousand taels of silver, I want to go back to the academy first, there are a few classmates whose families are very wealthy, and they may be willing to lend me one or two hundred taels, which can also solve some urgent needs." ”

"So that's the case," Lu Nianjin nodded, "Then I'll go with you, big brother." ”

Huang Lun did not refuse, and the two walked together in the direction of Baitan Academy.

Baitan Academy is in Meishan, the southern suburb of Changle Town, and the two of them hired a carriage at the carriage shop, and it took them more than half an hour to arrive.

After getting out of the car, Lu Nianjin followed Huang Lun to climb the Baitan Academy halfway up the mountain, while looking at him and asking, "Who are those classmates?" ”

Huang Lun heard her ask about his two rich classmates, his face changed, and he paused for a moment before he wrinkled his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Brother Su's father is the county magistrate of this county, and Brother Wang's uncle is a well-known rich family in the town. ”

Lu Nianjin pondered the expression and tone of his voice when he said this, and guessed in his heart that he was afraid that Huang Lun's relationship with these two classmates was not very good on weekdays, and there were even some discords.

"Big brother, do you think these two will lend you the silver?" She asked tentatively.

Sure enough, when Huang Lun heard her ask, his steps suddenly froze, and after a long time, he sighed deeply and said, "Whether they want to borrow it or not, I will try it." ”

The eldest sister is still waiting for him at Zhou's house, he only has two months, but whenever there is a little possibility, he has to go all out. Otherwise, who knows what Liniang, who can't get the silver will do to his eldest sister in two months.

Lu Nianjin didn't say anything.

She followed behind Huang Lun and continued to climb halfway up the mountain.

Coincidentally, as soon as they climbed to the gate of the academy with their front feet, they collided with the two classmates Huang Lun had just mentioned.

Huang Lun looked at the two classmates who were wearing cyan student robes and walking towards him with a smile, the corners of his lips were stiffly curved, and when the two passed by him, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Senior Brother Su, Senior Brother Wang." ”

Su Yan and Wang Ji didn't expect that Huang Lun, who had always been at odds with them, would take the initiative to greet them, the two looked at each other, and laughed out loud at the same time, Wang Ji spoke first, knocked Huang Lun's shoulder with the handle of the fan, and quipped, "Yo, today, Huang University's eyes can finally see Brother Wei and Brother Su?" It's really flattering to be a brother! ”

Huang Lun had something to ask for, even if he was reluctant, he still bent over and said softly, "The previous things were all wrong with the junior brother, and there was no one in the eyes of the junior brother, and I still hope for Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother Wang Haihan." ”

"Do you have something to ask me to do with Wang Ji?" Su Yan's eyes hooked, and Huang Lun's mind was broken with one word.

Huang Lun clenched his hand in the sleeve of his robe, raised his head to look at Su Yan, and nodded slightly, "Senior Brother Su is wise, junior brother ......"

"Come on, little brother, what little brother, you are seven or eight years older than me," Su Yan interrupted him impatiently, put away the folding fan in his hand with a snap, and said, "If you want to admit your mistakes, you should show full sincerity, and you can't touch them with your lips!" ”

"What does Senior Brother Su mean?" Huang Lun stared at Su Yan and asked in a deep voice.

Su Yan raised his chin and smiled defiantly, "Simple, you first kneel on the ground and kowtow to me and Wang Ji three times, and then drill under the crotches of the two of us!" ”

Even though Huang Lun is famous and determined, but when he heard Su Yan's request, Wang Ji smiled and agreed, but he couldn't help but blush, his upper and lower teeth stumbled, and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Lu Nianjin looked at this scene coldly, although she didn't know what grievances Huang Lun had with these two in the past, but just this experience was enough for her to see Su Yan and Wang Ji clearly.

She thought that today was Huang Lun's compromise and did what Su Yan asked, they were afraid that they would not fulfill their promise and lend Huang Lun silver.

"Big brother!" Before Huang Lun made a decision, she suddenly spoke up and called him, from far and near, "The man has gold under his knees, and the family affairs, let's go back and think of other ways." ”

Huang Lun was called back to his senses by Lu Nianjin, he glanced at Su Yan with complicated eyes, and smiled bitterly, how could he not know that the temperament of these two classmates was originally just holding a ten-thousandth of the extravagant hope, since they didn't think about the love of classmates at all, then why did he lose face and lose dignity.

"It's Huang Lun's two senior brothers, I hope that the senior brothers are not strange, Huang Lun's family still has something, take the first step!" After speaking, he didn't look at the eyes of Su Yan and Wang Ji anymore, turned around and walked down the mountain.

Seeing that he dispelled the idea of begging for help, Lu Nianjin immediately followed, and said behind him, "Big brother, don't be sad, if you want me to say, borrowing money to save people is just a strategy!" ”

"So what is the middle policy, the best policy, the best policy?" Huang Lun continued to walk down the mountain and asked without looking back.

Lu Nianjin skipped the middle strategy and the best policy, and talked directly about the best policy, "If you want to save the eldest sister back, the best way is naturally to make money by ourselves." ”

"Earn it yourself?" Huang Lun finally stopped, looked back at her and said helplessly, "Tingzhi, that's a thousand taels, not one tael, is it so easy for you to earn a thousand taels?" ”

Lu Nianjin was solemn, "Whether it's difficult or not, you always have to try hard, don't you?" ”

"Then tell me how to try?"

Lu Nianjin's eyes rolled, "I heard my aunt say that you read well, can you imitate paintings?" ”

Huang Lun's pupils shrank, "Tingzhi, what do you mean, the immortal jumps?" ”

Lu Nianjin shook his head, "It's not an immortal jump, as long as you imitate it really enough, I think even if it's a fake, someone should buy it at a high price." After all, not everyone can afford to buy the real thing, big brother, right? ”

Huang Lun understood what Lu Nianjin meant, and then, with a hint of struggle in his eyes, he looked at her and said, "I have no problem with antique paintings, there are a few rare authentic masterpieces, I have also seen them in the mountain chief's room, but ......"

"If you make a fake, you can't get over your conscience, right?" Lu Nianjin interrupted him and persuaded softly, "This is just an expedient measure, it's a big deal that you redeem the eldest sister in the future, and then take back those fakes after saving enough silver." ”

"You make me think again." Huang Lun frowned and said absentmindedly.

As soon as Lu Nianjin heard what he meant, he knew that he was moved.

Sure enough, before arriving home, Huang Lun compromised.

After that, for more than a month, he did not leave the Huang family again.

A month and a half later, when he came out again, he had already copied three ancient paintings.

Lu Nianjin entered the study and took a look, these three paintings did not look like the real thing, she couldn't see it, she only knew that these three paintings were more majestic than the other, and the ink was smooth, which was a fake, and it was also the best of the fakes.

The two rolled up the painting, said hello to the Huang family's aunt and Uncle Huang, and left the village and went directly to the county seat.

Huang Lun has already been admitted to the reputation of Xiucai, and he has been to the county several times, and he has also heard his classmates talk about which staff member is obsessed with which family's ancient paintings.

However, after careful consideration, he did not choose to go to the door to sell paintings, but took Lu Nianjin into the pawnshop.

The pawnshop shopkeeper is also a knowledgeable person, and when he saw Huang Lun's painting, his eyes lit up, "Childe, is this painting genuine?" ”

When Huang Lun heard this, he struggled again and again, but he still shook his head and said, "This is what I traced myself." ”

"Is that a live or a dead one?"

"How much silver is worth living, and how much is it worth dying?"

"If you die, you will have 1,500 taels, and if you live, it will be twice as little, 700 taels."

Huang Lun still wants to take back these three fakes in the future, so he naturally wants to choose to live, but seven hundred taels is not enough to go to the Zhou family to ransom people.

He frowned tightly.

Lu Nianjin looked at the shopkeeper's face, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Can the shopkeeper take a step to speak?" ”

When the pawnshop shopkeeper heard this, he glanced at Lu Nianjin suspiciously, "What does the little brother want to say?" ”

Lu Nianjin said again, "Please take a step from the shopkeeper to speak." ”

The pawnshop shopkeeper saw that Lu Nianjin was very persistent, so he had no choice but to nod, said to Huang Lun, "Wait a minute", and then walked inside with Lu Nianjin.

Half an hour later, the two of them came out again, and the pawnshop shopkeeper looked at Huang Lundao happily, "The little brother of the court has already told me that Huang Gongzi wants a thousand taels in an emergency, so let's do it, I will give you a thousand taels!" ”

Huang Lun was overjoyed, "Really? ”

The shopkeeper ignored him and looked directly at the guy behind the counter, "Take a silver ticket of 1,000 taels for Huang Gongzi." ”

"Yes, shopkeeper." The man agreed, and soon ordered a silver ticket of 1,000 taels to come out.

Huang Lun took the silver ticket and thanked the shopkeeper repeatedly.

The shopkeeper glanced at Lu Nianjin meaningfully, and sent the two out in a good voice.

Huang Lun didn't go out with a thousand taels of silver tickets in his hand, and he was still a little confused, he looked at Lu Nianjin in a trance, "Tingzhi, what did you say to the shopkeeper, why did you give an extra three hundred taels of silver at once." ”

Lu Nianjin smiled and said casually, "I didn't say anything." ”

But it was just to help him cure a kidney deficiency.

Of course, she certainly can't say this reason.

When Huang Lun asked again, she casually made up a nonsense.

Huang Lun expressed doubts, so she changed the topic and asked him when he would redeem Huang Wei.

As soon as Huang Wei was mentioned, Huang Lun really didn't care about anything else, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "In the past month or so, the eldest sister must have suffered a lot, and we will go to pick her up and go home now." ”

"Good!" As they spoke, they walked towards the carriage and horses, hired a carriage, and went straight to Zhou's house.

It was still the last time, Huang Lun went up the steps, because he was so excited, his hands trembled when he knocked on the door.

It didn't take long for the door to open from the inside, but this time it was not Li Niang who opened the door, but Huang Wei's husband Zhou Sheng.

When Huang Lun saw Zhou Sheng's face, he almost used all his body's patience to beat him up.

When Zhou Sheng saw Huang Lun, he was also weak-hearted, a touch of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother-in-law is here, come in." ”

Huang Lun's main purpose of coming today was to help Huang Wei redeem himself, and he didn't want to find any trouble before he got Huang Wei's deed of sale.

The three of them made their way to the antechamber.

In the hall, sitting on the main seat was an old woman over fifty years old, and behind the old woman stood Liniang, who was pregnant with Liujia.

When Li Niang saw Huang Lun and Lu Nianjin coming in, her eyes flashed, and she immediately spoke, "The two of you came to the door in advance regardless of the two-month period, but they have already made up a thousand taels of silver?" ”

Huang Lun tensed his body, he forcibly suppressed the undulating anger in his chest, looked at Li Niang, and said coldly, "What about my eldest sister?" ”

"No rules!" As soon as Huang Lun's words fell, before Li Niang could speak, the old woman on the throne snorted coldly, she looked at Huang Lun and Lu Nianjin, her voice was cold, and her eyes were critical, "Aunt Huang is the cheap concubine of our Zhou family for a day, and the two of you will treat my wife respectfully every day, otherwise, if you take 10,000 taels, I will not let go, what can you do with my wife?" ”

Lu Nianjin had already expected this scene, she ignored the old lady of the Zhou family, and looked directly at Li Niang, "Before, didn't you say that you could be the master of the Zhou family?" ”

Li Niang's face floated with a touch of calculation, glanced at the old lady Zhou in front of her, and said, "That's what I said, but after all, I am a daughter-in-law for others......"

"In that case, then when the agreement two months ago is invalid, we don't want people, and we take away the silver ticket!" As the words fell, she turned around and was about to walk out.

Huang Lun saw Lu Nianjin turn around and hurriedly followed.

Today, he has regarded Lu Nianjin as the backbone of the family, especially in the matter of Huang Wei, he knew that once he was stimulated, he would definitely be controlled by others, so he decided in his heart before he came, once the two families had a dispute, he would look at Lu Nianjin's face and act.

Tingzhi's cousin will never cheat him.

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them left the door of Zhou's house with their front feet, Liniang chased after them with their stomachs on their backs, looking like they were afraid that they really didn't want people.

After a basket of good words, Lu Nianjin changed his mind.

However, Lu Nianjin also has a request, that is, to go to the government to eliminate Huang Wei's slavery first, and then pay the money with one hand and the other hand.

Li Niang has already seen Lu Nianjin's style of acting, where dare to go against her, when even if Zhou Sheng was called, the two took Huang Wei to the government to eliminate slavery.

On the carriage to the official mansion, Lu Nianjin took a closer look at Huang Wei, and saw that she was just emaciated, but there was no injury on her body, and her spirit was fine, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

An hour later, the carriage stopped outside the official mansion, and several people got out of the carriage one after another.

The procedures for eliminating slavery were not troublesome, and Huang Lun used the silver, but it took half an hour to complete it.

When she came out of the government again, Huang Wei was already free.

The carriage was hired by Lu Nianjin, and after handing over the money with one hand and the other hand, she naturally did not allow Zhou Sheng and Liniang to get on the car again.

Zhou Sheng and Li Niang looked at Huang Wei and tried to get Huang Wei to speak and give them another ride.

Huang Wei and Zhou Sheng's eyes met, she suddenly stopped, turned the soles of her feet, and walked towards Zhou Sheng step by step.

Just when Zhou Sheng thought she had something important to say to herself, and her heart and liver were pounding hard, Huang Wei finally stopped in front of him, and then poofed, and spit a mouthful of bloody phlegm on his face.

"Huang Wei, you!" Zhou Sheng was embarrassed, and raised his hand to beat Huang Wei.

Huang Wei avoided his slap and laughed coldly, "Zhou Sheng, you are the most disgusting person I have ever seen in my life, in the future, I wish you and your husband and wife to grow old and cut off their children and grandchildren!" ”

After speaking, she turned around without hesitation, and under the protection of Huang Lun, got into the carriage.

Huang Lun also climbed up after Huang Wei got into the car.

The carriage quickly ran away.

In the car, Huang Wei lay on Huang Lun's shoulder, crying in an instant.

In her intermittent narration, Lu Nianjin and Huang Lun finally knew the truth that she was demoted to a concubine and signed a deed of sale.

It turned out that Mrs. Zhou disliked her for not being able to have children, and deliberately teamed up with the only little guy in the family to set up a bureau for her to drill, wronging her and the little guy for not being innocent.

coerced and lured her, if she did not agree to sign a deed of sale and degraded his wife to a concubine, he would drag her to court, so that Huang Lun would not be able to participate in the scientific examination in the future, and even the fame of the show talent he had already achieved would be removed.

Huang Wei has had a good relationship with her younger brother since she was a child, how could she be willing to ruin her brother's life because of herself, so she knew that she was framed, but she was still led away by Mrs. Zhou.

"Big sister, why are you so stupid!" Huang Lun looked at Huang Wei with tears in his eyes and said sadly, "You are my eldest sister, fame, scientific research or something, where is it important to have you, as long as our family is good, it is for me to be a farmer for the rest of my life, and I have no regrets." ”

Huang Wei cried even more when she heard Huang Lun say this.

Lu Nianjin sat next to her, also a little sad, she secretly wiped the corners of her eyes......

An hour and a half later, Lu Nianjin's buttocks were a little sore, and the carriage stopped.

The coachman shouted outside, and he had arrived at the entrance of the village.

The three of them got out of the car with their arms, paid the copper plate, and walked home.

The aunt of the Huang family didn't expect Huang Lun and Lu Nianjin to bring Huang Wei back, she was stunned for a moment, and then noticed Huang Wei's thin figure and ugly face, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with concern.

It was also at this time that Huang Lun told the Huang family's aunt about the Zhou family's animal behavior, as well as their ransom.

After hearing this, the aunt of the Huang family felt distressed, and after she repeatedly made sure that her daughter had no problems, she ran to the kitchen like a wind, grabbed a kitchen knife and was about to go to the town to fight with the Zhou family.

Seeing this, Huang Lun and Huang Wei hurriedly went to stop their mother, and after a lot of arguments, the two snatched the knife from the Huang family's aunt.

Then, after another comfort, the aunt of the Huang family finally calmed down, hugged Huang Wei and cried, "Wei'er, my mother will never force you to marry in the future, you will stay at home in the future, your mother and your father will support you, and when your mother and your father are old, let Lun'er support you!" ”

Huang Wei nodded again and again, and was speechless with emotion.

……

After that, although there were often rumors in the village, the Huang family didn't care, their family was reunited, and their days were happy and peaceful.

Lu Nianjin stayed in the Huang family for more than half a month, seeing that she was pregnant in her womb for more than five months, she didn't dare to stay in the Huang family anymore, so she found a reason to return to her hometown to worship her ancestors and quit with the Huang family.

Although the aunt of the Huang family was reluctant to let Lu Nianjin be, she couldn't say anything about not letting her worship her ancestors, so she had to wipe her tears to help her pack her luggage and send her to the ox cart out of the village.

Before Lu Nianjin left, she went to the pawnshop again, she gave the pawnshop shopkeeper a few prescriptions, and then took away the pawn tickets and fake ancient paintings with her.

Hiring a carriage in the town, she headed south while the road was still icy and finally settled in a small town in Wuxi.

At this time, she was nearly seven months pregnant, and she couldn't pretend to be a man at all, so she had to ask the coachman who sent her all the way to help her re-register and buy a small yard.

At this time, she still used the name Li Jin.

On the other side, in the capital, Xiao Xun still has no news of Lu Nianjin.

On this day, the dead soldier who was guarding Meng Qingting's side suddenly returned to the National Teacher's Mansion to ask for a meeting.

In the study, Xiao Xun raised his eyelids, and said in a cold voice, "Let him come in!" ”

"Yes, Prince!" Laichen agreed, and made a noise outside.

The next moment, a dead man dressed in a dark robe walked in from outside, and after stopping in the middle of the study, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, "My subordinates have seen the prince." ”

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Xiao Xun asked directly.

The dead man said solemnly, "Back to the prince's words, Miss Meng mentioned the crown princess to the four princes an hour ago, saying that the crown princess is no longer in the capital, but in Wuxi!" ”

"Wuxi?" Xiao Xun was overjoyed, "Is this true?" ”

The dead man arched his hand and said, "Yes, Miss Meng suddenly thought of this stubble at that time, judging by her expression, it should be true." ”

"Hongu understands, you stand down and continue to stare at her!"

"Yes, Prince!" The dead were ordered to leave.

After Xiao Xun left, he looked at the ministers again and ordered, "Immediately inform Cai Hun that sixty percent of the dead will go to Wuxi to find the crown princess, and be sure to protect the crown princess before Xiao Ze's people find the crown princess!" ”

"Yes, Prince!" Laichen agreed, and retreated with his hands.

After Cai Hun received the news of the minister, he immediately personally led people to Wuxi.

After they arrived in Wuxi, they focused on inspecting the newly added household registrations in the past few months.

Under their secret visits day and night, they finally locked down a person named Li Jin, and this pregnant woman can match the crown princess in all aspects.

So one night, Cai Hun couldn't wait to take people to the small courtyard where Lu Nianjin settled.

In the small courtyard, as soon as he appeared, he looked at Lu Nianjin and recognized her identity.

"Crown Princess!" He arched his hand, a little surprised, and a little painful at her.

Lu Nianjin smiled at him, "I didn't expect that after escaping for half a year, I was still found by you!" ”

Cai Hun smiled bitterly, "If we can't find you again, we will be driven crazy by the prince!" ”

"Really?" Lu Nianjin still laughed, stiff and unwilling, "That's my fault!" ”
