Speaking of Xu Duwen, Du Shi had a stomach full of anger, she said: "Mother saw that guy, he turned out to be a poor bastard, with a poor and sour face, he is really the kind of thing that reads and reads his brain stupidly, this kind of person can never get married, but he is very entangled......"

Ah Zhu muttered to herself, she couldn't hear what she was talking about, but Du's mouth was full of guys, there were still things, and there were brains to read stupid words, talking a little too much, scolding too much, and reminding her all of a sudden, this is not the time to think about people, you have to ask what happened, so that you can meet!

Ah Zhu came back to his senses, suddenly grabbed Du Shi's sleeve, and said hurriedly: "Mother, Xu Duwen and we haven't seen each other for ten years, and the appearance of the teenager has changed the most, how can you be sure that he is Xu Duwen, and where is this person now?" ”

She asked the point in one sentence, the person she hadn't seen for ten years, and she hadn't been in touch for a long time, suddenly appeared, how could she be sure that it was the person back then?

Du Shi saw that her daughter was still thinking about that Xu Duwen, and she was angry, if Xu Duwen was a rich man, it would be fine, or if she studied well, and she was a petty official in the imperial examination or something, it would be good, but the key thing was that Xu Duwen she saw was a poor bastard!

Anyone can bear it, but only the poor bare-bones can't bear it, Xu Duwen still wants to marry her baby daughter, it's unreasonable, the poor-bare-bones are also eggs, since they are eggs, then get out!

Du Shi rolled his eyes and said: "Oh, my mother is dizzy, I forgot to make sure, I believed it as soon as he said it, in fact, looking at his appearance, he must be a pretender, your Uncle Xu was an official at the beginning, and his son is no longer promising, and it is impossible to be unprofessional!" ”

When Ah Zhu heard Du Shi say this, she was very disappointed in her heart, it turned out that it had not been confirmed, and she asked again: "But, who else can know Xu Duwen?" The little son of the Xu family was only ten years old when he left, who can pretend to be him in ten years, is it just to deceive you, or do you want to deceive your relatives, I am a maid in the yamen, and no one dares to lie to me, is he a fool? ”

Du Shi thought to himself: "It's not a stupid egg, it's a poor bastard!" ”

Xu Duwen came to her, of course, he took a certificate, not only brought the marriage book written that year, but also Xu Duwen had a scar on his forehead.

This scar was accidentally injured when he was playing with Azhu when he was a child, Azhu was naughty at the time, like a tomboy, he had to climb a tree, but he fell down, Xu Duwen went to pick her up, Azhu was caught, she was fine, but Xu Duwen fell and was injured, bleeding a lot on his forehead, and left a scar, the scar is crescent-shaped, it can't be faked.

When Du Shi saw the mention of Xu Duwen, her daughter became emotional, she didn't dare to mention it again, but said: "Good girl, mother begs you something, you talk to the head catcher in the yamen, ask the head catcher to help, go and seal Jiao Erbao's gambling house, so that he doesn't dare to think about marrying you anymore, and we won't pay him back the dowry money, the most afraid of opening a gambling house is to catch fast, and he won't dare to scare me anymore!" ”

Ah Zhu was a little distracted, and he didn't listen to what Du Shi said, but he just said twice, and he didn't agree, but he didn't object.

Seeing that her daughter did not object, Du Shi became happy all of a sudden, as if Jiao Erbao had already succumbed, and she said: "As long as Jiao Erbao is scared, then Liu Fugui will be easy to do, you beg the county to add some conscription to Liu Fugui, Liu Fugui will be honest immediately, and he will not mention anything to marry you, and we will not pay him back as a dowry!" ”

This time, Ah Zhu understood, it turned out that her mother Du Shi asked her to use the power of officialdom to clean up the two men who wanted to marry her, and there was no need to pay back the dowry, but she was just a girl, how could she let the head catcher go to seal the casino, and let the county order add the people's servitude at will, how could she have such a big face, this is impossible.

Azhu shook his head and said: "Mother, what you said, my daughter can't do it here, you better return the dowry quickly, so as not to cause trouble, our family is not short of those little money!" ”

Du Shi sighed, and said angrily: "Good girl, what a big breath, that's not a small money, the dowry of two people adds up to ninety-six yuan, put this money out to collect profits, at least thirty yuan a year, this is called small money, besides, they don't want their mother to pay back, they don't want money as long as people, so it's troublesome!" ”

Although Du Shi is very greedy for money, he is still a woman after all, if the trouble is so big that she can't solve it, she can only come to Azhu, but Azhu actually has no way.

However, Du Shi has no principles, but Azhu does, Azhu said: "Mother, you go back, my daughter still wants to wait for Brother Duwen, I believe he will definitely come to me!" ”

Du Shi was anxious all of a sudden, and said angrily and anxiously: "Good girl, you can't marry anyone to marry the poor bastard of the Xu family, that is a worthless goods, your father was blind, so he set this marriage for you, but for the mother is absolutely disagreeable, if you dare to marry him, the mother will not live, just hang yourself!" ”

She spoke louder, and two handymen came out of the side door to look this way, but when they saw that it was Azhu's mother and daughter, they didn't say anything.

Azhu said angrily: "No matter what you say, my daughter's mind has been made anyway." Hurry up and return the money you have collected, so as not to cause trouble for yourself. ”

After saying that, Azhu went back through the side door and found that the handymen were all standing behind the side door, ostensibly doing their own things, but in fact they seemed to be eavesdropping on them.

Azhu was ashamed, trotted back to the back house, hid in the back garden, and saw that there was no one around, so he cried, and when he cried like this, he couldn't stop, and the crying became louder and louder.

Li Rizhi finished breakfast, a little too much, he patted his little belly, came to the back garden, wanted to take a walk to eliminate food, breakfast is not digested quickly, how to eat lunch!

Suddenly, he heard the cry, just by hearing the sound could not tell who it was, he looked for the cry and walked, and saw a woman in a red shirt crying under a big tree, from the back, he recognized it, isn't this Azhu!

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "It's only been a breakfast, why did she cry, she looked fine just now." Well, it's actually not too good, it's a bit of a ghost. ”

If someone else meets a woman crying, unless they are very familiar, they will generally choose to avoid it, so as not to embarrass the woman, but Li Rizhi doesn't care about this, and he also thinks that he is very familiar with Azhu.

Li Rizhi arrived under the tree, squatted down, and looked sideways at Azhu.

Ah Zhu wiped his tears and knew to Li Ri: "Young Master Rizhi, why did you come here, haven't you seen others cry?" ”

"I've never seen anyone cry so beautifully!" Li Rizhi said with a smile.

Azhu is not a person who likes to joke, she said: "Young Master Rizhi, you are so young, you are poor-mouthed, how can you get it when you grow up in the future!" ”

Li Ri knew: "Sister Azhu, why are you crying?" Are you thinking about your fiancé? ”

Ah Zhu shook her head, but she didn't say anything, of course she couldn't say that her mother was greedy for money and had set two family affairs for her, it would be too embarrassing.

Li Rizhi had the spirit of breaking the sand pot and asking the end, and he said: "Sister Azhu, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me, I can help you find a way, for example, if you want to find your fiancé, my family runs a pharmacy, and I know a lot of medicinal herb merchants, so I can help you inquire around, they are the farthest from hundreds of miles away, and they come by big boat." ”

Ah Zhu sighed, her girl's family usually has very little contact with vendors from other places, most of them are people who sell vegetables and grain, these are all local people, at most counting the vendors who sell rouge gouache, but they are also local to their hometowns, how can this kind of hawkers walk hundreds of miles to do business.

Ah Zhu asked, "Can you really help me inquire?" Well, his name is Xu Duwen, he is as old as me, he is twenty years old this year, and he has a crescent-shaped scar on his forehead! ”

She pointed to her forehead and told Li Rizhi where the little scar was.

Li Rizhi really planned to help with this, he said: "It's good to know what it's called, if you can have another portrait, it will be easy to find someone, will you paint?" ”

Ah Zhu shook her head, she didn't know anything about drawing, let alone drawing people, even if she was asked to draw a circle with a brush, she couldn't draw a circle.

Li Ri knows: "Then just knowing the name is also done, there are not many people with the surname Xu, and there should be fewer people named Duwen, so it sounds like it won't take much effort!" ”

The two of them were talking, and suddenly heard the sound of drumming in the direction of the front yard, Li Rizhi was stunned, it was the sound of the big drum at the entrance of the yamen, he had heard it before.

The big drum at the entrance of the county office, as long as all the people think that they have grievances and want to file a lawsuit, then beat this drum, and the county order will come to the court to ask the case when they hear the drum.

Li Rizhi jumped up and said with great joy: "Sister Azhu, my uncle said that if there is a lawsuit in the future, as long as I am interested, I can audit it, so as to increase my experience, I heard that many cases are very bizarre and strange, and the final result is also very strange!" ”

Ah Zhu was not only disgusted with such a lawsuit, but she also didn't need to increase her experience, so she knew to Li Ri: "If Young Master Rizhi wants to go to audit, then go quickly, go a little later, I'm afraid that the county will already be promoted." ”

Li Rizhi smiled: "How can it be so fast!" He turned around and was about to leave, but after walking a few feet away, he turned around, looked at Azhu, and said, "Sister Azhu, just tell me if there is anything difficult to do, even if I can't, don't I still have an uncle, I can always help you." ”

Ah Zhu nodded in agreement and praised: "Young Master Rizhi is the best!" ”

Li Rizhi flew to the front yard, at this time Zheng Gangling had already ascended to the hall, Li Rizhi hid behind the pillar of the main hall, anyway, he was not fat and small, and he hid tightly behind the pillar, and Zheng Gangling in the hall did not find him.

Li Rizhi saw a young man kneeling in the lobby, about twenty years old, wearing very simple clothes, but clean and decent, to say that the appearance is still quite handsome, the most important thing is that this young man has a scar on his forehead, the position of the scar is on the forehead, the specific location is exactly what Azhu pointed out to him just now, and the shape of the scar is crescent-shaped!

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "Could it be that this person is Xu Duwen?" ”
