An old man in a coarse cloth shirt hurried in. Li Xinniang also stood up, and Duanmei's face showed surprise.

"Big lady, Ma Daguan and a few errand officials are here." The old man said as he prayed.

Li Xinniang sighed, sat down slowly, and said, "Let them come in." ”

"Yes." The old man was just about to leave, but when he turned his head and saw Liu Yong, he was stunned. His mouth opened and closed, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Uncle Chen, my second brother woke up. There you go. Li Xinniang said lightly, and there was no joy in her eyes.

Uncle Chen only said one sentence: "It seems that the Liu family is saved!" And he went.

Liu Yong asked, "Who is this old man?" ”

Li Xinniang and Yun'er glanced at each other and felt that there was something wrong with Liu Yong's question. They all thought: "Uncle? How could he call it that? ”

But he didn't mind, Yun'er said: "He is Uncle Chen, a slave of our Liu family." The other servants were paid their severance pay, but he was the only one who stayed behind to help with the handover. ”

The footsteps in the front yard were louder, chaotic and hurried.

Liu Yong saw about seven or eight people coming in the courtyard, two dressed as servants and a few in slave costumes. In the middle was a short and fat man in a creamy white brocade robe.

Li Xinniang hurriedly stood up and greeted the visitor.

Huhula, those people entered the hall like a wind.

The pumpty dumpty man looked to be in his thirties, with a square face and thin lips. He stood in the middle of the hall, his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed, and he looked up at the beams. In Liu Yong's eyes, it is as if the leader inspects the quality of the project. Then he sat down on the Taishi chair with a big sting. Two servants stood beside him, and two servants stood under Li Xinniang. A man in his forties, dressed in a gray linen robe and a black square hat, stood in the middle of the hall, carrying a cloth bag. Liu Yong thought to himself: "This person should be from the yamen." Five short figures, looks a bit like Song Jiang in the TV series Water Margin. ”

Behind him came a middle-aged man, dressed in gray, with a pointed beak and monkey cheeks, his eyes slanted and stunned, and his two characters trembled slightly as he walked. He swaggered to Humpty Dumpty's side. It looks like it's supposed to be a butler or something.

Humpty Dumpty looked at Li Xinniang, his eyes narrowed and smiled, then looked at Yun'er, and finally fell on Liu Yong. The little squinting eyes immediately widened. After a long pause, he asked, "Aren't you the Erlang of the Liu family?" He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was wrong.

Liu Yong didn't understand the etiquette of the ancients, but he was very disgusted when he saw that Humpty Dumpty and the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks were arrogant. Although Liu Yong didn't know how the Liu family lost his property, he knew that if he wanted to win and not lose in the gambling game, he would have to be old. Looking at this Humpty Dumpty's angry complexion, I'm afraid that the Liu family has fallen into his way.

"I'm Liu Yong, who are you?" Liu Yonghuang shook his head full of paste, and asked the Humpty Dumpty directly in modern words. This question really surprised the Humpty Dumpty man, and he secretly said in his heart: "How dare this kid be so rude to me." You still think you are the Erlangjun of the Liu family. Fart! But he didn't move, and said with a smile: "What? Erlang-kun, you won't know me when you wake up? ”

Liu Yong pretended to look carefully, and suddenly laughed and said: "Oh, I remember, you are surname, surname dog, call dog, what is the dog?" ”

This sentence provoked Yun'er to laugh out loud, and Li Xinniang and the two officials couldn't help but laugh. Yingying heard the funny thing, climbed down from Liu Yong and jumped up and ran to Humpty Dumpty, pointed at him with a fleshy little finger and smiled: "Ah, this uncle, why are you surnamed Dog?" Could it be that Uncle's father is a dog? ”

At this moment, the two officials couldn't help it, and they both laughed. The gray-shirted man who looked like Song Jiang also pursed his mouth. Humpty Dumpty's servants held their mouths and did not dare to laugh.

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy jumped out first to fight for his master, pointed at Yingying and said angrily: "Why do you ...... this little doll" Humpty Dumpty stopped him: "Hey? Childlike words, why bother to be like a little doll. The sharp-beaked monkey had no choice but to point at Liu Yong and said angrily: "You, you dare to scold our officials for being dogs?" Liu Yong hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, this is what you said." I didn't say that. ”

The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks said: "You just said that the official surnamed Dog, and we all heard it." Liu Yong smiled: "I'm talking about Gou surnamed Gou, not the big dog and the little dog you said." As he spoke, he glanced at the two slaves, as if they were both dogs, and the two slaves were awkward when Liu Yong looked at them, and they both pouted. What I'm talking about is Gou and Gou, the word Gou under the first sentence of the cursive word. ”

"Then you can be more clear? I thought you were swearing! The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man flicked his sleeves and stared at him with triangular eyes, looking even angrier than the victim.

Liu Yonghe laughed and said, "Actually, when I woke up, I can't remember anything from before." ”

Humpty Dumpty pointed his mouth and said, "Wang Erguang, then you can tell this Liu Erlang Jun who I am." ”

Liu Yong thought: "It turns out that this sharp-beaked monkey gills are called Wang Erguang, Erguang, slap." Hehe, as his name suggests, he should really be slapped in the face. I saw Wang Erguang take two steps forward towards Liu Yong, and said proudly: "This is the shopkeeper of our largest silk village in Qingshen County, the 'developed silk village', and a big official of Madama." After speaking, he pursed his lips and showed a dog-legged look.

When Liu Yong heard this, he thought: "What kind of motor, developed, vulgar is unbearable." It's not ancient at all. Ignoring it, he picked up Yingying and sat down.

At this time, Li Xinniang got up and said to the person who looked like Song Jiang: "Wu Zhisi, please sit down." The man said, "Thank you, lady." He said to Liu Yong again: "Congratulations to Erlangjun for waking up." ”

Liu Yong didn't know him, and nodded politely. But it can be seen that this person who looks like Song Jiang is not like a bad guy. And coincidentally, he is also a priest, but I don't know if it's timely rain.

Ma said: "Since Erlang of the Liu family has forgotten the previous things, and these things happened when Erlang was in a coma, so ah, I still have to talk to the eldest lady." Wu Abshi, please show the account book to the eldest lady. ”

Wu Absi took out two account books and an abacus from the cloth bag, put them on the small table next to Li Xinniang, and began to calculate the accounts. Less leaning, the sound of the plan resounded in the hall.

The motor leisurely cocked Erlang's legs, while watching Wu Zhisi settle the accounts, and at the same time ordered the slaves he brought to make tea for him. When the tea came, Ma Erguang hurriedly handed it to the motor. Liu Yong looked at these and thought, "If he had a tail, would he wag a few times?" ”

After about a meal, the first account was calculated, and it happened to be made up with the price of the family house and 400 acres of land. When Wu Zhisi opened the second account book, Li Xinniang stood up suddenly and asked in surprise: "Why is there still it?" ”

Facing Li Xinniang's question, Wu Zhisi didn't know what to say, so he looked at the motor that was drinking tea with his legs crossed.

"Of course, big lady, didn't your husband tell you?" The motor asks rhetorically lightly.

"No, no, he only, he only said that he lost the house and land to you?" Li Xinniang was a little flustered.

The motor took a sip of tea, walked over with a smile behind his back, picked up the account book and handed it to Li Xinniang: "Big lady, you have to see it clearly, this is the handprint drawn by your husband himself." ”

Li Xinniang looked at the rows of accounts and only felt that she was about to fall down as soon as she saw a flower, but fortunately, Yun'er on the side supported her. Liu Yong hurriedly put down Yingying and walked over.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Liu Yong asked.

Li Xinniang didn't answer, and two lines of tears rolled down.

"Yun'er, help your sister-in-law to rest, leave it to me here." Liu Yong said.

Yun'er nodded, and helped Li Xinniang to leave.

"Wait." The motor snorted.

"What? Ma Daguan, can't I be here? Isn't it just settling accounts? Liu Yong's tone hardened.

The motor softened, smiled hehe, and said, "Erlang, of course you can do it, I'm just afraid of running away!" ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Yong asked.

The motor put his hands behind his back, swaggered back to the Taishi chair, picked up the tea bowl, scratched the edge of the bowl a few times with the bowl lid, took a sip slowly, clicked his lips, and said: "Erlang, your brother owes me more than a house and hundreds of acres of fertile land. I just want to know how to pay back the rest of the money? As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xinniang.

Liu Yong saw that this matter was tricky and asked, "How much do you still owe you?" ”

Mada laughed, put down the tea bowl, and said, "Then ask Wu Oshi to do the math." Wu Abshiji is not only here for business this time, but also the settler I invited. With Wu Absitant to settle accounts, you and I can rest assured. After speaking, he instructed the servants to serve tea to Wu Zhisi.

"Ma Daguan is polite, as a small official in this county, these are all things that Wu is within his responsibility. What's more, this matter was personally explained by the magistrate. He took a sip of tea and began to plan the plate.

It may be that there are fewer accounts, but this time the calculation is fast.

"Ma Daguan, forget it, it's a total of five hundred and sixty-nine guan."

"Okay, there is Lao Wu Oshi, then please ask Erlang to take a look." Motor said.

Wu Abbot handed the account book to Liu Yong. And Li Xinniang almost fainted when she heard this number. bluffed Xiao Yingying's big eyes wide, and she didn't know what happened to her mother with teary eyes.

Wolf Sheng took the account book and thought: "How much is this more than 500 yuan?" He really didn't know how much money was worth in the Song Dynasty. So he asked, "Well, that, let me ask." ”

"If there is anything you don't understand, please ask." Wu Oshiji looks like a good guy.

Liu Yong looked at him and asked, "How much is this money equivalent to now?" ”

"Oh, Erlang-kun is asking this!" Wu Zhusi stroked his beard, "At the moment, the price of silver does not fluctuate much, and it can always be one or two lines of silver." ”

"So, these more than five hundred pieces are five hundred taels of silver?" Liu Yong asked.

"Well, so to speak." Wu Abshisi said.

Liu Yong remembered that in the red dream, twenty taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family to spend a year. It seems that these five hundred taels of silver are not a small amount. But how can there be any money in this family? Thinking about it, he looked at Li Xinniang. She had been helped to the chair by Yun'er. Xiao Yingying pulled her mother's shirt with teary eyes on the side, looking pitiful. Liu Yong's heart was sour.

"Ma Daguan, let's be honest with you, our Liu family is given by my brother, and now I'm afraid I can't get a tael of silver." Liu Yong directly handed over the real bottom to the motor to see what he would do, and then make plans.

I saw that Mada's face sank, and he snorted and said, "Then don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"What are you going to do?" Liu Yong asked.

"How? It is only natural to repay debts. Then I had to take the eldest lady and this girl away. ”

As soon as the motor said this, Li Xinniang stood up suddenly and looked at the motor in a daze.

Ma Ma smiled and said lightly: "Mrs. Li." You don't have to look at me like that. Who made your Liu family owe me? ”
