49. Even you are thrown into prison!
Lou Que hesitated for a moment, and looked down at Zheng Xian'er: "I'll send you back first." ”
"Master!" Zhong'er's whole face wrinkled.
Zheng Xian'er thought for a while and shook her head: "The gentleman in the academy must be a calm person, since he said that it was an 'urgent matter', it must be a hundred thousand urgent." Go quickly, don't ask your bell to scold me. ”
"Why don't you come with me?" Lou Que is still a little worried.
Zheng Xian'er couldn't help laughing: "I'm getting more and more confused!" Is the academy a place I can go? You just have to go, I'll go back to the Jingge Pavilion and wait, and then ask the coachman to send you to the academy and then come back to pick me up." ”
That's all it has to do now. Lou Que stood up and instructed earnestly: "I asked Zhong'er to stay and listen to your orders, you must be careful." ”
"Go ahead!" Zheng Xian'er couldn't cry or laugh, "Blue sky and white day, what is worth your advice?" Is there a tiger on the street? ”
Lou Que himself also smiled, said "unaccompanied" to Li and Ge, and walked out quickly.
Zheng Xian'er was about to get up with him to say goodbye, but Miss Ge Liu took her hand: "Why is Sister Zheng in a hurry? Lou Gongzi is not here, isn't there still us! ”
Zheng Xian'er had no choice but to sit down again, looking at the table full of dishes, but she couldn't whet her appetite anymore.
Since I don't have the heart to eat, it's just convenient to talk.
Miss Ge Liu is a talkative person, pulling Zheng Xian'er to ask her why she hasn't been to Lanxin Garden again, and talking about some interesting things in the collection, very affectionate.
Ge Feng still looked at Zheng Xian'er with a smile, looking up and down, looking left and right, not feeling how rude he was.
Rao is Zheng Xian'er's face is thick enough, and it is inevitable that she will feel a little uncomfortable when she is stared at like this.
Therefore, when Ge Feng looked away, Zheng Xian'er couldn't help but ask coldly: "Did Ge Gongzi see something?" Found where my fox tail is hidden? ”
"Hehe~" Ge Feng laughed sheepishly, "Miss Zheng said that she laughed, how can you have a fox tail?" I only see that you are surrounded by immortal energy, and I think that such an outstanding person as you must be the Nine Heavens Fairy! ”
"Hey!" Li Geng sneered unabashedly.
I don't know whether to laugh at "Miss Zheng" or "Nine Heavens Fairy".
His gaze often fell on Zheng Xian'er, and his disgusting attitude was so obvious that even Miss Ge Liu was faintly aware of it.
Zheng Xian'er didn't plan to pay attention. Since she came to eat, of course, she had to pass her stomach to be satisfied first, and then she could have the heart to pay attention to anything else.
At this time, the quiet and elegant Miss Li San suddenly hesitated and spoke: "Sister Zheng, has Lou Gongzi always been like that when he was at home?" ”
"What is it?" Zheng Xian'er didn't understand the meaning of her words, but she had already instinctively been vigilant in her heart.
Miss Li San thought for a while and said with a smile: "Because of my brother, I have met Lou Gongzi a few times before, and I always feel that person is a little incomprehensible. He looks gentle and elegant, but he always has a feeling of rejection, and my sister and I have never dared to talk to him more. But today, in front of you, he seems to be very different. ”
"Third sister, don't talk nonsense!" Li Geng blamed, his expression grim.
Zheng Xian'er completely didn't think Li Geng existed, leaned back in the chair and smiled casually: "The fifth prince is a rule-abiding person. You are all the daughters of scholarly families, how dare he be so abrupt? is as gentle and refusal as before, and some people want to scold him for 'not being a good person', if he dares to be presumptuous, most of the eldest prince Li will immediately draw his sword! ”
Ge Feng interjected with a smile: "Miss Zheng, don't worry, Brother Yanqing never wears a sword!" He is only willing to bring fans, and he carries them in the middle of winter! ”
Zheng Xian'er couldn't hold back and laughed.
Li Geng's already gloomy and somewhat darkened face became even more ugly.
Miss Li San's expression was a little hesitant, but she still pulled the topic back to Lou Que: "Lou Gongzi is cautious and polite, and we also know it." - It's just that before today, I really didn't expect him to be like that in front of his family. ”
Li Geng's gaze swept over again, with undisguised mockery.
Zheng Xian'er still acted as if nothing happened, and smiled lightly: "He is really good at hypocrisy outside." ”
Ge Feng laughed "hehe".
Zheng Xian'er was unaffected, and continued unhurriedly: "At home, he is a young son, and the old lady and several brothers spoil him, but he always wants to pretend to be calm and old, so he has developed a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and the family is very annoyed by him. ”
"I see!" Miss Li San seemed to have heard something strange, and her eyes were shining.
Ge Feng slapped the table and laughed: "Hahaha...... Miss Zheng, is it really good for you to expose the old bottom of the Tong step like this? If this word reaches his own ears, he is afraid that he will not be able to see people in the future! ”
"He didn't have any face." Zheng Xian'er answered unhurriedly.
"Yes, yes, yes," Ge Feng laughed straight down, "The first son of Sangyu County, the young and talented Master Xie Yuan, he 'didn't have any face', hahaha...... I'm afraid that only you, Miss Zheng, dare to say this! ”
He took a bite of "Miss Zheng", and even Miss Ge Liu heard that something was wrong: "Fourth brother, we call 'Sister Zheng' for closeness, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to call 'Miss Zheng' after you, right?" Sister Zheng is already married! ”
Ge Feng laughed twice "hehe": "What does it matter if you marry or not!" Miss Zheng is as young, beautiful, lively and lovely as you, if we keep calling her 'sister-in-law', wouldn't we call her old? ”
"You always have so many crooked reasons!" Miss Ge Liu glanced at her brother with disgust, but she didn't care.
Li Geng answered without yin or yang: "You just shouted 'Miss Zheng' 10,000 times, and she is still 'sister-in-law'." ”
The implication is that Lou Que is indeed a perverse ugly thing, no matter how you cover it up, it is just self-deception.
Ge Feng was speechless, so he had to glare at him.
Zheng Xian'er smiled slightly and stood up: "I still have to go back to the Decoration Pavilion, the two brothers eat slowly, and they are out of the company of sister-in-law." ”
"Hey, you ......" Ge Feng's face darkened slightly.
He clearly felt that Zheng Xian'er was taking advantage of him. - Lou Que is younger than both of them, why is his woman a "sister-in-law"?
Not only did Ge Feng have such thoughts, but even Li Geng's heart felt that something was wrong.
Although she knew that Zheng Xian'er's identity was "Third Young Grandmother", she was Lou Que after all......
Li Geng shook his head fiercely, shook off the trace of disobedience, and gritted his teeth and said, "Sister-in-law and Mrs. go slowly, it is inconvenient for us to send each other off." ”
"Sister Zheng, wait!" Miss Ge Liu stopped Zheng Xian'er again, "What is my sister anxious about?" We're going back to the Pavilion, too! We haven't bought the brocades we just liked, so you'll go back with us and pick them out later!" ”
Zheng Xian'er really didn't want to face Li Geng's cold face here, but the enthusiasm of the Ge family's Xiaoliu didn't seem to be fake, so she didn't stay or stay when she left.
was hesitating, but someone had already come from the side of the Jin Pavilion.
It was a familiar young man, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly pounced in front of Zheng Xian'er: "Dong...... Girl, there is an urgent matter in the store, please go back immediately! ”
"What's the urgency?" Zheng Xian'er couldn't help frowning.
There is an urgent matter over there, and she also has an urgent matter here!
The guy was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "It's an official errand!" The official erranded into the store, beating and smashing, clamoring to see the owner! ”
Zheng Xian'er settled down and gritted her teeth: "Go and see!" ”
The guy was overjoyed, but Ge Feng and the others were baffled: "There is something wrong with the Jin Pavilion, what are you going to do with the young grandmother of the Lou family?" ”
Zheng Xian'er didn't plan to explain to them, so she said "out of company" and rushed out with her guys.
Walking like flying, how can there be a little grandmother?
Several people at the table looked at each other, but in the end, it was Li Geng who stood up first: "What are the officials doing in the Jinge Pavilion?" I'll check it out! ”
Ge Feng immediately followed: "You can't let Miss Zheng have an accident, otherwise that bastard who is heavy on color and light on friends in Tongjie will definitely not be able to spare us!" ”
So the four of them hurriedly called Xiao Er to pay the bill, and hurried to the Jingge.
Miss Li San was dragged by the Ge family's Xiaoliu and ran out of breath, her eyes were black, but the doubt in her mind always lingered:
Heavy color and light friends?
In the Pavilion, it was already a mess at this time.
Embroidery and silk of all colors were thrown everywhere, and the jewelry that had been placed on the counter was even more damaged, and I don't know how many of them were secretly stuffed into their pockets under the pretext of "searching" by officials.
The shopkeeper Cheng has been restrained by the official messenger, and he is about to go out with a lot of flowers. Seeing Zheng Xian'er come in, he first showed joy, and then his face changed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Girl, go back, the Jinge Pavilion is closed today, and the things you want have to be sent to you another day!" ”
When Zheng Xian'er saw this posture, she already understood in her heart.
This is seeing that the situation is not good, and I want to cover her up.
But she is the owner of the Decoration Pavilion, and since the government wants to deal with the Decoration Pavilion, she will come out sooner or later.
When the official saw that it was a young daughter-in-law who came in, he immediately waved his hand impatiently: "Get out and go out!" Something happened to the Jin Pavilion, don't come! ”
Zheng Xian'er settled down and walked in with her head held high: "Since the Jin Pavilion has committed an accident, can I, the master, still run?" ”
The "owner......" shopkeeper Cheng's expression was a little complicated.
The official looked at Zheng Xian'er suspiciously, and asked for a long time: "Are you the daughter of the master of the Jin Pavilion?" What about your man? Don't play tricks, come out honestly and meet the officials with us! ”
"Official? What did the Pavilion do? Zheng Xian'er pursed the corners of her lips, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, quite majestic.
The official was impatient, and raised his hand to push her: "Go, go, what do women know?" Let your family man come! If you interfere with our errands again, you will be thrown into prison! ”
"Throw me in prison, you don't dare." Zheng Xian'er sat down on the chair in the hall and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Yo-he-" the official messenger was interested, "Who is the new master of the Adorned Pavilion?" This little ......."
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xian'er had already slammed the tea bowl under his feet with a "snap": "You are not worthy to talk to me, let your master come to see me by himself!" ”
At this time, Li Geng and his entourage of four people had already chased after him, and the official saw it, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "The eldest young master, the third young lady, ......"
"What's going on?" Li Geng frowned.
The official hurriedly said: "It's all some people, the men in the family don't want to come forward when they make a mistake, and they make a bad woman to mess around here." Don't worry, young master, the little ones can handle it! ”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it!" Zheng Xian'er sneered.
The official was about to behave in front of his young master, and when he heard this, he immediately jumped up: "You are looking for death-"
"Presumptuous! Get on my knees! Zheng Xian'er sat firmly and stopped drinking.
The official was stunned for a moment, and forgot about the knife in his hand after pulling out half of it: "This ...... A lunatic? ”
Li Geng walked into the hall with a gloomy face: "Listen to her, kneel." ”
"Young Master?" The official was completely stunned.
"You may be seated." Zheng Xian'er greeted Li Geng and the four of them, pointing to a few chairs next to them.
The dozen or so officials in the hall sent you to look at me, I to look at you, and after a long while, they knelt down slowly.
Zheng Xian'er poured a bowl of tea again and drank it, and her expression softened: "Don't say that I bullied you." No matter how poor I am, at least I am the five grades that are worthy of the current holy decree, and I can still bear your kneeling. Even if your lord comes in person, he is the only one who salutes me! ”
The official at the head suddenly raised his head: "You are the widow of the Lou family?" ”
Sangyu County's Zhengwupin is pleasant, and there is only one.
Zheng Xian'er nodded, but what she said was: "I am the master of the Decoration Pavilion." ”
Li Geng continued to frown and blackened: "It's not unorthodox!" ”
The official was even more shocked: "Open the door to do business, how can there be a reason for a woman to be in charge?" ”
"No one will treat a widow for a woman." Zheng Xian'er replied very seriously.
Li Geng snorted from his nose, and secretly cursed in his heart for "pretending", but his chest suddenly became a little blocked for some reason.
Zheng Xian'er didn't care what others thought. She sat up straight, glanced around the officials, and sneered: "I don't know what happened to the Jin Pavilion, but now that you haven't passed the court and are not on trial, you first put the valuable things in the store into your arms, whose rules are this?" Do you guys know? ”
"You're spewing blood!" The leader shouted.
Zheng Xian'er turned her head to look at Li Geng: "What did Master Li say?" ”
Li Geng had already seen the messy counter, and when he heard Zheng Xian'er ask him, his face immediately turned red: "There is no such rule in the county government." After these people go back, the county government will punish them heavily! ”
"Heavy punishment or not, I'm afraid it's not up to Prince Li to call the shots. Maybe Master Li is waiting for these things to go back to fill the warehouse? Zheng Xian'er didn't look at him, but her tone was full of mockery.
Li Geng was already trembling with anger, and it was not much different from being mad.
This really can't blame him for his narrow weight - Li Dagongzi has always thought that he is above board, but now he sees his father's officials robbing other people's things like bandits and robbers, and he is asked by the owner in person, how can he hold it?
Zheng Xian'er didn't plan to care whether Li Geng's face could be hung or not.
She stood up with a sneer, and walked in front of the officials step by step extremely slowly, her voice was low: "Either return the things now, or wait for me to go to the government to sue Li County for embezzlement and forcible seizure of people's property." - You look at it! ”
The official was still hesitating, and Li Geng was so angry that he rushed over and kicked the official messenger to the ground: "Bastard, don't take it out quickly!" ”
Several officials knew that they couldn't hide, so they reluctantly took out the jewels and jade jewelry and even gold and silver that they had hidden in their arms and waists, and reluctantly put them on the ground.
Seeing that the things on the ground were piling up more and more, Li Geng's face was getting darker and darker, his body was shaking, and he was almost about to faint.
"Okay!" Zheng Xian'er didn't laugh angrily, "All of them are quite discerning, you have taken most of my Jinge Pavilion into your arms!" A little dozen officials, in front of the shopkeeper and the buddies of the Jin Pavilion to carry the things in their arms are worth no less than 10,000 gold, this 'incorruptible' Sangyu County County, I have seen it! ”
Li Geng dragged his heavy legs in front of Zheng Xian'er, moved his lips, but couldn't speak.
Zheng Xian'er narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly at him: "Master Li Ji Yueguangfeng has a clear conscience, I know." ”
Li Geng was speechless, so he had to signal his sister to loosen the ties for the guys, and helped put the things back on the counter one by one: "You count." ”
"There's nothing to count," Zheng Xian'er sneered, "Didn't you say that we made a mistake?" Let's put a seal! ”
"The owner!" Shopkeeper Cheng returned to Zheng Xian'er's side, his face embarrassed.
Zheng Xian'er patted him on the shoulder, and her face softened: "Don't worry, we'll be fine." Today's chaos is all nonsense by the people below, not the county magistrate himself, you are not allowed to speculate! ”
Shopkeeper Cheng and a few guys hurriedly nodded "yes".
Zheng Xian'er raised her chin to Li Geng's side again, but did not speak.
Shopkeeper Cheng is a very clever person, and he rushed to Li Geng and knelt down with a "poof": "Thank you to the eldest prince Li for saving him!" ”
The guys also reacted one after another, and Hulala suddenly rushed to Li Geng's face, thanking him for his great kindness in saving the Jinge today, and couldn't wait to praise him to the sky.
It is a world away from Zheng Xian'er's previous cynical attitude.
Zheng Xian'er stood aside and watched Li Geng's face turn red and black, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
Her shopkeeper and buddies are very sensible, and it seems that there should be no need to change them.
As for this Li Dagongzi, she is not worried. He can say "with a clear conscience" in such a business, how can he take this little thing to heart today?
His face is ugly like this at this moment, I'm afraid it's not because of shame, but because he's angry that his subordinates don't do things well, right?
In all conscience? Hehe.
When the guys had almost cleaned up the things on the ground, Zheng Xian'er instructed the shopkeeper Cheng to bring all the silver tickets in the store and go to the county office with her.
On her own territory, she can be arrogant, but since she has been involved in a lawsuit, the county government can't go.
She is a person with status, of course, it is impossible to be escorted away by officials. Li Geng wanted to invite her to take her own carriage with her, but the guys in the Jinge Pavilion had already pulled out the carriage in the backyard.
Li Geng didn't have time to say a word, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
Feeling ashamed and uneasy, embarrassed and embarrassed.
But Ge Feng's cheap-mouthed guy was still noisy next to him: "...... Don't say it, the three young grandmothers in this building are really unexpected! Wasn't she born in the market, how did she become the master of the Adorned Pavilion? That's the Jin Pavilion, wow, even if it's a Tong Tier, you can't afford it, right? His father is so picky, how much money can he give him a month? These three young grandmothers...... Didn't she sell herself? ”
Miss Ge Liu reminded on the side: "When the Lou family asked to marry the third young grandmother, the dowry was sixty taels of silver. ”
"Yes, wow, her own worth is only worth sixty taels!" Ge Feng stroked his palms and shouted, puzzled.
Li Geng only felt dizzy, and he couldn't wait to throw the noisy brother and sister out of the carriage.
Ge Feng was blindless, only paused for a moment, and then shouted again: "Sixty taels of silver to marry such a treasure, the Lou family really made a lot of money!" Have you noticed, when she just reprimanded the officials, that posture - domineering! Even I was almost scared by her! What's even more remarkable is that she first sneered and crackled and beat you with a big mouth, and then asked the shopkeeper and the guys to come forward to apologize and thank you - this means, this scheming! Gee! It's a pity that Tong Jie's start was early, otherwise I would have ...... her."
"Fourth brother?" Miss Ge Liu asked a question mark suspiciously.
Ge Feng suddenly realized that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
But Miss Ge Liu still asked: "You said that Lou Gongzi 'started early', what does that mean?" ”
Ge Feng coughed and said, "Ahaha...... I mean, the Lou family guards this daughter-in-law very tightly, most likely because they know that she has the ability and are reluctant to let outsiders see her! ”
Miss Ge Liu pursed her lips: "Every time you put on a straight face and speak, you must be lying!" ”
Ge Feng couldn't fool around, so he had to look at Li Geng for help.
But Li Geng's own heart was in turmoil, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to his pleas for help.
As a result, Miss Li San, who has always been quiet and silent, also tightened her brows suspiciously.
The carriage of the Jin Pavilion stopped at the gate of the county office.
Faced with the questions of the officials, Zheng Xian'er unhurriedly handed over the greeting post that had just been written on the car.
It was the virgin of the Lou family who came to "meet" the county lord, not the owner of the Jin Pavilion who came to "be tried".
"A little Jin Pavilion, why did you get involved with the Lou family?" The official had the prayer card in his hand and stood at the foot of the steps muttering to himself.
Li Geng took the post and instructed the official: "First send Lou San's grandmother and Cheng Shopkeeper to the flower hall to sit less, and I will send the post." ”
Zheng Xian'er tilted her head to look at him, a little inexplicable.
Li Geng noticed her gaze, but didn't explain.
He held the greeting note in his hand, and inexplicably felt that his fingertips were hot, and the soles of his feet seemed to be roasting on fire, forcing him to run all the way, and rushed into the county hall in the blink of an eye.
"Every time your eldest young master walks, it's like being bitten by a bedbug?" Zheng Xian'er couldn't help but ask the official.
Although the official knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "My son-in-law has a leisurely and elegant bearing, and his joy and anger are invisible, and even the gentlemen of the academy often praise him!" ”
