Chapter 19 Litigation (3)

Just when Li Qing was looking at it in prison, Xinzheng County, Lian'er also encountered unexpected trouble, she went home and got the money, and soon hired a car to come to Xinzheng County, in Xinzheng County to inquire where Xianyufu is, just like asking where Tiananmen Square is in Beijing, "You just follow these traffic, they stop, you will see Xianyufu." The old farmer who sold melons pointed to the mighty carriage lane on the official road: "These are all to celebrate the birthday of the old lady Xianyu." ”

Today is a good day for the old lady's 70th birthday, and the mansion is full of lights, beaming with joy, and even a pair of big stone pixiu outside the door of the mansion are also contaminated with joy, grinning, and have not been able to close.

The magnificent black lacquer door is impressively open, and there are more than 20 stewards, family members and even officials standing outside the door of the house, their function is a filter, and the people outside the invitation, such as the accompanying coachman, the husband, the maid, the mother-in-law, etc., are all under the bar, and send the door into the house.

The real welcome is in the second door, the ceremonial roll call, the big housekeeper receives gifts, the host picks up guests, and the natural guests are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., the female dependents have Mrs. and Miss to deal with, and the celebrities are entertained by the sons and clansmen, as for the dignitaries and nobles, they are inherited by the two masters of the Xian Yu family, as for how they divide labor, the two naturally know in their hearts, and they don't have to be outsiders, so although the crowds are surging, they are still in order, busy and not chaotic.

When the curtain arrived, it happened to be Jiannan Jiedu to make Zhang Qiu and Qiong enter the mansion, which was like inspecting a small county in ********, and there was no need to say much about the pomp and circumstance, martial law was already imposed outside the mansion, and the people who received it were all sweating, bending over, holding their breath, and even their tails were clamped tightly, lest the adults couldn't help but put an indecent air when they passed by, disturbing the mood of the adults.

The most anxious and most worried are those officials who are also security guards, all wielding red and black sticks, eager to drive everyone out of three miles away, the adults have been in the house for a while, but the martial law at the door has not been lifted, as if the official spirit of the adults has not dissipated, and the descendants will get cheap.

Curtain's heart is like fire, she knows the darkness of the official mansion, Li Qing was caught by someone with internal relations, and the end will be ten times worse than ordinary people, if she doesn't save her in time, even if she is released, nine times out of ten will be disabled, therefore, she saw that the official had been in for a long time, so she mustered up the courage to step forward, showed the silver ring and said to a person in charge: "I came to find your eldest master, and I use this ring as a basis." ”

The steward was contemplating and ********, no! When the festival makes the adults pass by, they gently pat themselves on the shoulder to express their hard condolences, this wonderful taste, I am afraid that the moment when the cave room blows the lamp on the night of the candle can not be compared.

The steward slowly raised his head, his eyes were blank, the corners of his mouth were not smiling, the curtain didn't know what he was thinking, and he took the silver ring and shook it in front of his eyes and said, "I'm looking for the eldest master, using this ring as a basis." ”

That wonderful taste is about to sink to the bottom of my heart, stay forever, and become the proud ancestral property of the next three generations. There was a sound on the ground, like a bubble bursting, and it disappeared without a trace.

The steward's face immediately became gloomy, and when he saw that the person who came was just a small village girl, and her clothes were not even as good as those of the girls who did rough work in the house, the pain of losing his ancestral property suddenly flooded in his heart.

"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! Where did the wild girl come from, and she didn't look at what day it was, but she dared to come to Xianyu Mansion to join in the fun! ”

He was still a young man, and he did not know the importance of this ring, and if he knew that this ring might not even be able to be obtained by adults, he was afraid that even if the curtain was wearing animal skins, he would respectfully invite her into the door.

The curtain was robbed of white, so he had to go around to the west again, found a kind-faced and slightly older family member, begged in a low voice, and asked him to help him pass the word, the family naturally did not understand this silver ring, but a little girl with clear eyebrows begged for help, this was the first time in this life, and her heart was hot, so she agreed: "You wait first, I'll help you ask." ”

He took the ring and hurried into the house, but after a while, he came out with a red face, his hair was scattered, obviously he was slapped by someone, he used to give the ring to the curtain, and said hatefully: "The lord went to accompany the festival to make the adult, I don't have time, I think you should come back another day!" Today is the birthday of the old man, can no matter how big it is? ”

After speaking, she didn't pay attention to the curtain anymore, where was the curtain willing to give up, she imagined that Li Qing was beaten to cry her father and call her mother, rolling all over the ground, and her heart was about to break, so she gritted her teeth and quietly went behind Shi Pixiu.

At this time, there was news from the inner house, the festival made the adults have finished greetings, entered the quiet room to rest, the door can continue to enter the guests, waited for a full quarter of an hour, there has already been a backlog of guests who came to celebrate the birthday outside the door of this house, all of them are waiting anxiously, it is really undignified to huddle together with the subordinates and people outside, so as soon as I heard that I could go in, I immediately swarmed in, and the family members couldn't stop it, and the gate was in a mess, at this moment, the steward's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a purple figure flashing out from behind Shi Pixiu and slipped into the gate, He immediately remembered that it was the country girl who was looking for the eldest lord, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the eldest lord was making an adult during the festival, if she rashly broke in, the consequence, her own responsibility, the steward simply didn't dare to think about it anymore, shouted, led the three family members, and rushed to the door. When the chief housekeeper heard that someone had broken into the house to make trouble, his face turned white with fright, so he immediately summoned all the family members who still had flaws to search around, even if he missed the meal, he had to find it, and he secretly complained to Li Qing in his heart, if he hadn't killed all the dogs, would it still be so hard to search for people? He didn't know that if Li Qing knew that there would be today, he was afraid that even he would be killed at the beginning.

After the curtain slipped into the house, immediately ran along the root of the wall, the house was planted with magnolia and pomegranate along the wall, it was in the flowering period, there were blooming flowers everywhere, the bauhinia skirt of the curtain walked through the flowers, like a fluttering butterfly, and soon flew into the inner house, she passed through a corridor, did not enter a huge garden, the pavilions in the garden, surrounded by clear water, everywhere was purple and red, but the curtain had no intention of playing, she was looking east and west and did not deal with it, suddenly heard the sound of reading faintly behind the rockery, through the gap of the rockery, But it was a young man who was reciting, although he couldn't hear what he was reading, but he faintly heard the words and phrases of the beautiful woman and the poetry on the water side in his words, and he must be a good talker.

The curtain plucked up the courage to flash out from behind the rockery, and said with a smile: "This son, I disturbed your study." ”

This son is Xian Yu Zhongtong's second son Xian Yu Fuli, he indulges in poetry and books, and does not ask about mundane things, so the welcome guests outside did not let him go, so he stole a point of free time, walked to the garden to read, and the year after tomorrow he will enter Beijing to catch the exam, in addition to books, there is nothing that can make him excited, Yan Ruyu is reading the book, but suddenly ran out of a girl, and he didn't know himself, Xian Yu Fuli couldn't help but have a little interest in her, looked at it slightly, and saw that although she was dressed plainly, but the purple was bright, and it was particularly eye-catching in this garden, Especially delicate and lovely, without powder, full of confidence between his eyebrows, but there is a vigorous vitality on his body, like a gust of breeze blowing on his face, which is rarely seen in the life circle of revenge, he suddenly has a good feeling.

Just about to answer, but I heard a shouting sound from afar, it was the family who came to search, the curtain was like a frightened deer, and ran to Xian Yu Fuli's side in two steps, begging: "Childe, help me hide"

Xian Yu Fuli casually pointed to the rockery and said in a low voice: "Come in!" The curtain was overjoyed, bent down and went in, and several family members who came to search saw that the second son was studying, although they knew that there was a hole in the rockery that could hide people, but they did not dare to step forward, confessed their crimes, and hurriedly went elsewhere.

When the footsteps disappeared, the curtain came out, smiling, and Ying Ying Shi saluted: "Thank you Gongzi for rescuing!" ”

She smiled brightly, like a lotus bloom, he was stunned by the retribution, he was weak since he was a child, since he was a child, he envied the brothers who climbed trees and picked birds, and went into the water to fish, and gradually began to contact the opposite sex when he grew up, but the girls he saw were all knowledgeable and orderly, but he had never seen a curtain like this, and his gestures were full of brilliant vitality, which was exactly what he was most eager for in the depths of his heart.

Seeing that although he was born handsome and had a good temperament, but he seemed to have been looking at himself for a longer time, her heart jumped slightly, and a touch of blush flew over her face, so she asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, Childe, I want to find Master Xianyu, I don't know how to go?" ”

Xian Yu Fuli was shocked to realize that he was rude, so he smiled apologetically: "That's my father, it's just that my father is very busy now, I'm afraid he doesn't have time, Miss is in a hurry?" ”

Hearing that he was the son of the eldest master, the curtain hurriedly took out the silver ring and said, "I am indeed in a hurry!" ”

Xian Yu Fuli knew about this ring, there were only three in total, and he never allowed anyone easily, "How can she have it?" Xian Yu Fuli was surprised, but he didn't dare to delay, and immediately took the curtain to find his father.

"My father is wide on the outside and strict on the inside, and he is very disciplined, you must be careful when you speak, if you can't get it right, don't speak, I will help you say it on the side, by the way, may I ask Miss Fang's name?" Xian Yu repeatedly explained all the way to Fuli, for fear that the curtain would be rude and offend his father.

"My name is Curtain, thank you Childe." Curtain listened to him all the way, although she was grateful for his kindness, but also with a woman's intuition, she felt that there was a bit of excessive enthusiasm hidden in his enthusiasm, but she was eager to save people, and she didn't have the heart to appreciate this affection in detail.

"Li'er? Xian Yu Fuli seemed to be touched by the name, and he was hurt, and he still whispered to himself: There is frost in the night of the water country, and the moon is cold and the mountains are blue. Who said that thousands of miles away from tonight, away from the dream is like a long stopper" and peeked at the curtain again, and saw that she was still bright and beautiful, but her eyes were a little stupid.

The curtain knew that he had misunderstood, so she only lowered her head and hurried away.

Xian Yu Zhongtong was talking to Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and suddenly his son came in and whispered, and he was holding the ring he gave to Li Qing, he was surprised, so he told the master of Jiedu to confess his guilt, and asked Shu Ming to accompany him, so he hurried with his son.

In the side hall, after listening to the curtain's plea, Xian Yu Zhongtong's face was embarrassed, today is indeed too busy to go, he was just about to push it to tomorrow, but he heard a loud shout behind him, "She's here, catch her quickly!" ”

"What's the matter!" Xian Yu Zhongtong's face was gloomy, with a hint of anger.

The housekeeper took a dozen housekeepers to find it almost crazy, and suddenly found that he was hiding in the curtain of the side hall, and he was in a hurry, but he didn't see the old man who was blocked by the back of the chair, and was about to come forward to catch it, but unexpectedly, the old man's angry reprimand came from behind the chair, and everyone was scared to kneel on the ground, their bodies trembled, and they couldn't say a word.

"The old man's birthday, you don't go to greet the guests, but shout everywhere, what kind of system is this, people look at it, and when I have no family rules at home, I am laughed at and said! Why is it noisy, if you can't make a sense today, don't do it as a housekeeper! ”

The housekeeper's body trembled, and he pointed to the curtain and said: "The steward at the door reported that this girl had trespassed into the house without permission, and the villain was afraid that he would make trouble and ruin the birthday of the old man, so he took people to look for her everywhere." ”

After listening to the housekeeper's explanation, Xian Yu Zhongtong's anger subsided a little, and waved his hand back: "She is my guest, you can do whatever you should be busy with, it's okay here." ”

Unexpectedly, there was no sound behind him, he turned his head in surprise, only to find that his father, today's protagonist Xian Yu Old Lady was standing in front of the door with a cane, looking around the house with a curious expression.

"Father! What are you doing here? Xian Yu Zhongtong is angry and funny, his father has really been getting younger and younger in the past few years, so many people in the main hall are waiting for his birthday, but he is running around, and he has no choice but to rush two steps and help his father into the house.

"I heard that a female thief was caught here, so I rushed over to see the excitement." Xian Yu Shijian sat down slightly, and couldn't help but stretch his neck, bypassed the little girl's arm, and winked at the curtain with a smile.

"This little lady looks very delicate, not like a thief!"

"Grandfather, she's not a thief, she's looking for her father to do something." Xian Yu Fuli listened to his grandfather on the side, a female thief on the left and a female thief on the right, and he was really angry for the curtain in his heart, and he couldn't help but defend himself.

"It's all up to you idiots, don't get out of here!" Xian Yu Zhongtong drank and retreated, and then explained: "She is the sister-in-law of that little brother Li, who wrote your birthday message, and you told me about little brother Li this morning." ”

"Oh!" Xian Yu Shijian sighed, and said to the curtain with a naughty smile on his face: "No wonder you dare to break into my mansion, it turns out that it was Brother Li who instructed you to mess with my birthday." ”

Seeing that he had kind eyebrows, lively eyes, and joking with himself, he already had a very good impression of him in his heart, and immediately replied with a smile: "They don't know how to do things, so I just want to mess up this birthday event, so that grandpa you can't do it!" ”

Xian Yu was shocked, his face turned pale, and he repeatedly asked, why did she speak so boldly, he secretly glanced at his father, and saw that his face was sinking like water, and his heart immediately pinched.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Sure enough, Xian Yu Zhongtong was unhappy in his heart, scolded the curtain, and hurriedly said to his father: "This child is not sensible, don't take it to heart father." ”

Unexpectedly, Xian Yu Shijian was a little more interested, "Then tell me, why don't they know how to do things?" ”

Curtain obediently smiled and said: "Grandpa is only seventy years old, they have made such a grand override, what should they do when they are a hundred years old?" ”

Xian Yu Shijian laughed, "Good! Good! Good! He shouted three good in a row, and then he said earnestly to Xian Yuzhong: "The two most satisfactory birthday gifts I received this year, one is Brother Li's birthday words, which are really well written, and the other is his sister-in-law's criticism, but unfortunately I couldn't keep Brother Li, and I have been regretting it to this day, since his sister-in-law calls me grandpa, you see-"

The implication is that he wants Xian Yu Zhongtong to accept the curtain as a righteous daughter, but Xian Yu Zhongtong is a little disapproving, just met, how can he rashly accept her as a daughter, his father is also nonsense, but he said it seriously, and he couldn't bear to sweep his interest, so he thought about it carefully, he only has two sons, and he has always wanted a daughter, although this little lady is bold, but it is to save people, loyalty and righteousness are commendable, and she is still Li Qing's sister-in-law, when he was hesitating, he heard his son say urgently: "Father can't!" ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong couldn't help but glance at his son, seeing the anxiety in his eyes, he was slightly surprised in his heart, he never asked about things, how could he be so enthusiastic about this little lady today, and suddenly remembered that this little lady was brought by his son, could it? As soon as the thought came to him, he looked at the curtain carefully, and saw that her eyebrows were beautiful and her expression was well-behaved, which made people pity, and his heart suddenly realized.

It turned out that her son had taken a fancy to her, not to mention that her relationship with Li Qing was still unclear, but how could her background and background be her daughter-in-law, although she could be a concubine, but according to her son's temper, she might put the cart before the horse and miss his future.

Thinking of this, Xian Yuzhong smiled at Lian'er and said: "I've always wanted a daughter, since the old lady has this intention, are you willing to be my daughter?" There was still a hint of hesitation, and Xian Yu Zhongtong made up his mind for his son's attitude.

Curtain has a delicate heart, she has seen that Xian Yu Zhongtong does not want to save Li Qing, she is about to make a fuss from the old lady Xian Yu, and suddenly heard that Xian Yu Zhongtong wants to accept herself as a righteous daughter, she hesitated, but saw that the old lady's eyes were blazing, and thought that if she delayed any longer, Li Qing might be more auspicious, so she couldn't care about anything else, Ying Ying bowed down and shouted softly: "Curtain to see Daddy, Curtain to see Grandpa." ”

Xian Yu Fuli's eyes were gloomy, now she became his sister-in-law, how is this good, but he changed his mind again, although he is a sister-in-law, there is no blood relative, what's the big deal, besides, the relationship in the future is much cheaper, and his eyes are like dead trees in spring, full of vitality. The Tang Dynasty was enlightened, not as imprisoned as human nature in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was not a brother or sister, but also a marriage.

The old lady wiped a string of emerald bracelets from her arm, handed it over and said with a smile: "This grandpa can't be called in vain, this is all a greeting gift." ”

Seeing that this bracelet was as big as a pigeon's egg, green and crystalline, she knew that it was a very expensive thing, and hesitated for a long time before accepting it.

Xian Yu Zhongtong saw that Lian'er was anxious to speak, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, when I am done with this hour, I will go with you to save Li Qing." ”
