Chapter 9 I lost my marriage for no reason
The news of the limited sale of rice wine in the liquor department spread among the Pingyu auction households in half a day, and the checkpoints between Pingyu and other states and counties suddenly became more erranded and brave, and the intensity of the investigation of the bootlegging liquor was strictly increased.
As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and the price of rice wine has risen in a few days.
The plagiarized complete Peach Blossom Anthema has spread in Pingyu since the evening banquet a few days ago, and the people of the entire county have begun to know that the author of this applauded poem is actually the county's county official Le Chaye (a plagiarist in the waterfall sweat), so that Lotte is surrounded by adoring eyes every time he goes to the street.
For a time, Lotte's reputation was very loud and noisy, and it won the nickname of a small celebrity for Lotte.
"Mr. Le!"
At noon, I just went to the city and walked to the street, and I was going to my sister's house to eat, and a warbler cried to call Lotte, and then a small sedan chair fell beside Lotte, only to see the sedan curtain raised, revealing a bright flower and moon appearance.
As soon as he saw the person in the sedan chair, Lotte smiled and said, "It turned out to be Yingying girl!" ”
The maidservant girl who was next to the sedan chair first saw the salute, and then complained: "Master Le Cha doesn't know anything, my girl invites you to come to the house to listen to the music......
"Cuizhi, Mr. Le is busy with business!" Ying Ying hurriedly interrupted the maid's voice.
"See, this is the Le Cha Ye who makes others laugh at me too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it!" Someone saw Lotte and said to the person next to him.
The other person first glanced at Lotte, and then saw the warbler girl in the sedan chair, his eyes were full of envy, and he sighed: "Today, when I saw Le Langjun who can make a peach blossom anthem, he is really a talented man, and this Yingying girl is even more beautiful, isn't that the appearance of the talented girl in those words!" ”
"Not the son of man, not the son of man!" Just when someone was sighing secretly, a decently dressed old man looked at Lotte with anger on his face, and snorted coldly: "It's just that although this Le Erlang is a Yaling, he knows how to learn and learn, but he didn't expect that he is a frivolous and shallow person who is willing to fall, and what kind of system does he climb with the people of Flower Street and Willow Lane in broad daylight!" Then the old man turned and left.
What's the situation? Lotte was a little confused, and he couldn't understand why the old man suddenly scolded himself on the street, as if he hadn't provoked anyone.
"It's Mr. Slave Family!" Hearing the old man reprimand Lotte, Miss Yingying sighed lightly with a gloomy face: "The slave family will go back first, if Mr. is free, he will go to the slave family in Qingshui Lane to sit there!" ”
Nodding in a little confusion, Lotte watched Miss Yingying's sedan chair leave, and turned to go to her sister-in-law's house.
As soon as he arrived at the door of his sister-in-law's house, Lotte almost collided head-on with a person who came out of his sister-in-law's house, and when he saw the face of the person who came, it was the old man who reprimanded him, and the old man saw his face clearly, but he snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.
"Sister, who is this old man?" Lotte walked into the courtyard and asked.
"You can't make a thing, give me a!" Before Lotte entered the house, Le Lian'er's Hedong lion roar came from inside the house, and the resentment was sharp like a knife that could cut nerves, making Lotte's body tremble.
Since childhood, he was brought up by his sister, although Lotte didn't know what was going on, but he didn't dare to disobey his sister, and he was busy outside.
Holding the bamboo whip that executes the family law, Le Lian'er walked out of the house angrily, pointed to Lotte on the ground and said, "How much worry do you have to worry about from childhood to adulthood?" Do you want to be angry with your sister? Speaking of this, Le Lian'er said to her husband: "You can understand with him!" ”
Looking at the bamboo whip in his sister's hand, Lotte couldn't help but smile bitterly, his nephew was only four years old, and this bamboo whip that implemented the family law was obviously not prepared for his nephew.
Looking at his brother-in-law with pity, Li Dutou smiled bitterly: "Your sister asked the matchmaker to tell you about a marriage, but I didn't expect that you were just climbing with a dusty woman on the street, and being seen by the little lady's father, and came to the house to withdraw from the family!" He shook his head and said: "The old man who just went out and passed opposite you is the father of the little lady, Qin Yuanwai, who has a son and a daughter, and the family is quite wealthy, and the son inherits his father's business in this county. ”
In his heart, he even shouted wronged, and Lotte didn't expect to ruin his marriage with Miss Yingying in two words.
The marriage is in the soup, Lotte doesn't care, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, the two of them will even meet in person, only say that the little lady of the Qin family was born in the show of wisdom, who knows what it looks like, and according to her identity Xu Ling, how can the young lady of a big family take a fancy to herself, maybe it will be a Yaksha appearance.
It's just that Lotte inevitably received a few whips on his body, which made his sister angry.
In the afternoon of this day, a man suddenly came to look for him, and the Tao was summoned by the master bookkeeper. Lotte cheered up and rushed to the main bookkeeper's office.
Not surprisingly, the first thing Yan asked when he saw Lotte's first sentence: "How is the matter of asking for wine debts?" ”
"It's going to take some time to see results!" Lotte replied.
Master Yan's face was straight: "Don't you think that you can raise the price of wine, and rely on the profits earned in the middle to make up for the deficit of 5,000 yuan, if the matter is so easy to solve, the official still needs to seek a plan?" ”
"The villain knows the Great Song Dynasty Criminal Decree!" Lotte bowed.
Master Yan nodded, and said, "Put aside the matter of wine affairs for the time being, this official still has something to do with you!" ”
What's going on in this county, where did so many things come from, Lotte muttered in his heart.
"I heard that you are quite famous in the local Chu Pavilion, and you met a dusty woman on the street, and you were dismissed?" Master Yan said in a low voice.
Ahem...... Lotte coughed very dissatisfied, how could these two masters gossip like this.
"The old man also heard about it!" Master Yan's face was embarrassed, and then he cut to the chase: "The county lord and this official have only been in office for a few months, and they don't know much about the situation of Pingyu, you are born and raised in Pingyu, and you are very familiar with the restaurant ......."
Belch...... Lotte shouted again in his heart, but he met with a few tricks that night after drinking, and met Yingying girl on the street, which directly led to his dismissal.
Ignoring the change in Lotte's expression, Yan Zhubo continued: "A few days ago, you also heard some in the signing room, the transfer envoy who was responsible for the procurement of the flower stone gang passed by Pingyu, and the county lord and the official had a good reception. ”
"I have no mountains and rivers, and no strange flowers and plants, why do you come to say this!" Lotte thought for a while and said, "Isn't there less Cheng Yi sent by adults?" ”
"Come to think of it!" Master Yan nodded, and his face rose a little angrily: "This transfer envoy Feng Bao is the lackey of Zhu Mian who presides over the worship bureau in Suzhou, and the county lord and the official have already gone to see him to give him enough face, but this guy still wants to take the opportunity to search for land in this county!" ”
Wait a minute...... Pestidachidae? Zhu Mian? Six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty? Lotte was shocked, since the time travel, he has always thought that he is living in a certain stable era in the Northern Song Dynasty, but he did not expect that he actually traveled to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty when the world was about to be in chaos.
Without taking into account the distraction of Lotte, Master Yan continued: "This official has inquired, this transfer makes the wine and wealth evenly stained, and he likes to go in and out of the house of the female singer who is good at color and art, the county lord and the official are both born in the clear stream, and the relationship with Feng Bao, who was born in the miscellaneous stream, will damage the name of Shilin, if you take it in and out of the house again, wouldn't it be swept away, you can chant the words of poetry, and you are young and romantic, and you are familiar with the local Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and you will make the best use of this Feng transfer envoy to entertain!" ”
What the? Lotte screamed in his heart that he was wronged, he was still a boy when he crossed over, how did he become a lustful prodigal in the mouths of these people!
Seeing Lotte's hesitation, Yan Zhubo's tone was a little dissatisfied: "Are you competent in this matter?" ”
When it was time to hug his thighs again, Lotte hurriedly agreed regardless of personal honor and disgrace: "Yes, my subordinates can do it!" ”
"You can find some suitable tricksters to decide, and as for the money you need, you can come to the official to withdraw it!" Master Yan nodded, and said: "You only need to entertain this transfer envoy, and it will benefit the people!" ”
Eating and drinking with public funds, this errand falls on whoever it falls on, but if it falls on himself, his reputation will be ruined, and Lotte can't help but sigh.
Leaving the Yan Lord's Bookstore, the more Lotte thought about it, the more angry he became, although he collected the silver tax on weekdays, but the Qinglou Chu Pavilion was not within the scope of his collection. At present, his romantic reputation for no reason has been dismissed, but he doesn't even know where the local Qinglou Theater is, which is a great wrong.
I vaguely remember that Yingying girl said that she lived in Qingshui Lane, Lotte came to the vicinity of Qingshui Lane to inquire, and saw a house with a generous decoration, and the sound of someone practicing the piano could be heard outside the door, and Lotte knocked on the door but saw a girl walking out.
The girl who opened the door saw that there were guests who were polite, and introduced Guangtian into the courtyard, and then saw a familiar maid, it was the maid Cui Zhi of the Ying Ying girl, Cui Zhi saw that it was Lotte and said: "Which gust of wind blew Le Chaye here today!" ”
Unintentionally chatting with this girl, Lotte said: "I have something to do with Miss Yingying!" ”
"Listen to Mr. Raku's voice, please come in quickly!" As he spoke, the voice of the girl Yingying came from the beaded curtain of the gazebo.
Coming to the pavilion, Lotte got straight to the point: "Le Mou has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I want to ask the girl for some things!" ”
"Master Le Cha has something to ask my girl, talk about the cheesiness of money, it is better to write the first word and send it to my girl!" The handmaid has sharp teeth.
"Begging for a beating!" With a light snort, Miss Yingying was surprised: "What can make Mr. embarrassed, how can the concubine help!" ”
With a restrained face, Lotte opened his mouth to say something about the things that Master Yan had explained, but omitted the identity of the old man.
"Although my girl has fallen into the dust, she is a clean and self-righteous young man, what is the intention of Le Chaye to ask my girl about these pickled things?" The servant girl Cuizhi crossed her eyebrows and looked at Lotte coldly.
"Cuizhi, don't be rude to Mr. Le!" Miss Yingying glanced at her maidservant, and said with a slightly red face: "The concubine has fallen into the dust, and she knows about the peace and dust, but if the gentleman is willing to send a poem, the concubine will tell the gentleman about the Chu Pavilion of the Pingyu Qinglou!" ”
"Deal!" Lotte was overjoyed in his heart, and said: "Can this word be owed first, Le really has something important to do, and he will return it to the girl when he is free!" ”
Cui Zhi on the side said: "Doing business has always been to pay money with one hand and deliver goods with the other, won't Master Le Cha not understand this truth?" ”
Miss Yingying smiled, but did not reprimand her maidservant: "Mr. Le is an elegant person, and he will not repay his debts!" The words fell, and with a blushing face, he listened to the market of the Chu Pavilion of the Pingyu Qinglou with Lotte.
