Chapter 30: The Domineering Bride
Ruan Zhenmei hurriedly ran back to the flower hall, at this time Yue Su was having tea in the hall, and the four of Jin Chan and Tie Qiu stood aside.
When Yue Su saw Ruan Zhenmei coming back, he got up and arched his hand and said, "Why is Lord Ruan in a hurry, I don't know how Lingtang's body is?" ”
"Alas......" Ruan Zhenmei sighed and said, "Lang Zhong just came to see him, and said that his qi and blood were exhausted, but he was out of pulse. I'm ......," he said, slapping his thigh hard.
Yue Su saw that such a big incident happened to the Ruan family, and hurriedly explained, but before he could speak, Ruan Zhenmei said again: "Lang Zhong finally said that there is only one way that may make the old mother turn the corner, but it needs to borrow the power of the son. ”
needed his own help, Yue Su was quite puzzled, he was not proficient in medical science, how could he heal the sick and save people. But it is still in terms of righteousness, "Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, but there is a dispatch, and you should obey your fate, but I don't know what to do for the students?" ”
"Lang Zhong said that he needs to be happy, now the dog has become married, only the little girl is to be married, the son is more than chess to recruit relatives, and everyone in Wuhuai knows that the son has become the son-in-law of my Ruan family. Now the old mother is critically ill, and she urgently needs to be happy, and her life is at stake, I hope that the son will not care about red tape, and he will worship with the little girl today. ”
Ruan Zhenmei said it sincerely, the anxiety on her face was by no means contrived, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. Yue Su is not confused, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, as soon as he enters the door, he will be happy. But seeing Ruan Zhenmei's bitter face and sad expression, it didn't look like it was fake. I hesitated in my heart, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ruan Zhenmei saw that Yue Su did not express her position, and she was anxious and begged: "My father died early, and Zhenmei was all raised by my mother Chengren. I also hope that the son will not be obsessed with the number of etiquette and can be fulfilled, if the son does not allow it, the old man will kneel down for the son. After speaking, he made a gesture to kneel down for Yue Su.
How could Yue Su kneel through him, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, at this time, he had no idea in his heart, since the rice had become a cook, and winning chess had become someone's son-in-law, people were in a hurry, and there was really no reason not to agree, and now it was too late to regret it, so he had to say: "Okay, I promise you." ”
Jin Chan and the others all listened to it sincerely, and they all secretly laughed to themselves, and in their hearts, this time the adults were on the thief ship, and they couldn't get down. However, it is also blessed that the so-called men should marry and women should marry, and Yue Su is the head of the county, and it is also appropriate to get married early.
****************************************************
The Ruan family is worthy of being a big family, everyone has a great cause, and Zhang Luo has a happy event, which is extremely profitable. It is said that everything is simple, but basically there is everything, especially when the invitation card is sent out, there is an endless stream of people who come to watch the ceremony. In less than an hour, nearly 100 people had already arrived.
The people who came naturally had heads and faces, the local county commanders, the main bookkeepers caught heads, and the gentry and businessmen came one after another.
The inside and outside of the mansion were full of joy, and the big red words were posted everywhere, the maids and servants were busy working, and Yue Su was not allowed to be idle. The servant didn't know where to get the big red run, the golden cicada and the iron qiu helped Yue Su put it on, and the big red flower ball was tied to his chest, and he really had the posture of a groom official, and everyone applauded.
Worship heaven and earth is held in the hall, the happy hall is arranged in a red and hot manner, at this time the sky has been darkened, the candles in the hall are bright, according to the folk customs, a pair of newlyweds to worship heaven and earth. After three bows, Ruan Zhenmei hurriedly led Yue Su and her daughter to her mother's room in the backyard and knelt down to serve tea.
After the old lady drank her son-in-law's tea, a smile naturally appeared on her face, but she still pretended not to be able to get up.
This night, the Ruan Mansion was not peaceful, and the hall was staggered and drunk. Yue Su and Ruan Aoyue were sent into the cave room early, and Jin Chan, Tie Qiu, Yin Zhu and Na Xiao Catcher became the objects of everyone's toast. After all, they are the followers of Master Xie Yuan, and when the master goes to the cave room, he can't treat them slowly.
When the wine is drunk, Tie Qiu's mouth is inevitably missing a door, and in addition to the three Jin Chan people at the same table with him, there are also two head catchers from Wuhuai County, and two shopkeepers under Ruan's mansion.
When the head catcher has a characteristic, he is easy to brag after drinking too much wine, and he talks about what big and important cases he has solved, and what Jiangyang thieves he has arrested. Originally, it was to win with more, but how dangerous it was.
The head catcher named Zhang Ying on the table, who drank tonight, immediately talked about a case he had handled at the beginning and how many murderers he had arrested at one time. The two shopkeepers next to him began to toast vigorously and praised them repeatedly.
Of course, Tie Qiu was not convinced, and shouted at the top of his voice: "What is the case you solved, not long ago, my family was assassinated by an assassin, and Lord Yue expected that things would be like a god, and he had already concluded that the assassins would come that night, so he made arrangements and gave them an urn to catch turtles." However, the skills of those assassins are really not weak, and there are many people who come, although there are many of them, but they are also a little overwhelmed. At the critical moment, I took down six assassins with a latch......"
Good guy, Tie Qiu came as soon as he opened his mouth, and it didn't matter if the golden cicada kicked him under the table, or talked about it. The most shameless thing is that the assassin panicked when he saw an ambush, but he said that he was an errand who could not resist, and obviously he knocked down three, he directly doubled it and said six.
Tie Qiu's voice was also loud, and several people at the same table listened one by one, and the people at the other table all turned their heads in his direction when they heard him.
After listening to him, Zhang Ying, who was at the same table, asked: "Brother Tie also worked on an errand, I don't know where he served?" ”
Tie Qiu shouted: "What do you mean by being a pawn, my brother Jin and I are now the head catchers of Yangshuo County, and this time I went to Wuhuai County to catch fugitives." ”
After saying this, the entire hall was silent, everyone looked at him, and the golden cicada hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of Tie Qiu. But it was too late.
Ruan Zhenmei walked over, bowed her hand to Tie Qiu, and said, "This brother, you said that you are the head catcher of Yangshuo County, and the one who married the little girl is ......."
"Naturally, my lord is my family, and our lord Yue is a good official who hangs high in the mirror and asks for his life for the people......" Speaking of this, Tie Qiu reacted and found that all the people in the hall were looking at him.
Knowing Yue Su's true identity, Wang Tiecheng, the county commander of Wuhuai County, couldn't sit still, after all, everyone was colleagues, and Tie Qiu made it clear just now that Yue Su came to arrest the fugitives this time, and mutual cooperation was inevitable. He coughed and said loudly: "Zhang Ying, you ask him, which fugitive he came to arrest this time, and our Wuhuai County can also help." ”
Wang Tiecheng, as the chief, asked him to leave his seat to ask, which was inappropriate.
This time, Jin Chan held down the iron qi, got up to salute, and said respectfully: "Lord Hui, my subordinates came here with Lord Yue to arrest a murderer who killed people and oversold goods. There are faux pas, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
Jin Cicada dealt with it decently, Wang Tiecheng nodded slightly, and said: "Your family is now a small Dengke, and it is inconvenient to disturb, so let's say that I am free and go to the county government to get together." If you need a foil, just say hello. ”
"Thank you, sir." Jin Cicada bowed and replied.
Knowing that Yue Su was the county magistrate of Yangshuo County, the people of the Ruan family immediately rushed to tell them, and after a while, all the people in Ruan's mansion learned about it, and everyone was excited about the news, and the only one who was surprised was Ruan Zhenmei. The son-in-law said that he was Hu Guang Xie Yuan, and what he said was clear-eyed, is it false? You must know that in this year, how can there be a reason to go directly to become an official, it must be to go to the field to participate in the examination, and the background of a scholar will be helpful for the promotion in the future. Xie Yuan is also a person, how promising he can be in the future, can he compare to Hai Rui's alternative. It is not for nothing that Xie Yuan does not go to participate in the examination, such as the well-known four great talents in Jiangnan, Tang Bohu and others, but after becoming famous, he did not step into the official career at all, but just chanted poems and made some poems and paintings. Like Yue Su, it is unheard of for a person to go directly to the county magistrate.
Of course, Ruan Zhenmei didn't know the mystery, and the hall continued to drink heartily, and the atmosphere was even more lively, and there were more people who came to toast Jin Cicada and Tie Qiu. This is all because Yue Su is the county order.
In the whole house, those who don't know Yue Su's identity are now left with Ruan Aoyue, who is in the cave room.
After the two entered the cave room, as soon as the door was closed, without waiting for Yue Su to lift the hijab, Miss Ruan took off the hijab herself, and she didn't look like a lady. also kept saying that wearing this thing is really boring. But that look, as the people say, is as beautiful as a fairy. I saw her wearing a phoenix crown on her head, shining with pearls, a melon-seed-shaped face with a pink and tender face, a small cherry mouth, a little red lips, and a pair of phoenix eyes like stars in the sky. Don't look at the red wedding robe, but it is difficult to hide the pretty figure.
Yue Su was not shocked by her beauty, because his Li Lan was not inferior to her in the slightest. I didn't feel dissatisfied with her attitude, no matter what, we are also educated in advanced ideology, and we don't look down on some feudal etiquette.
It's just that this Miss Ruan seems to have gone a little too far, walked to the side of the bed alone, took out a sword under the bed, and without saying a word, put it on the head of the bed, glaring at Yue Su angrily.
Now Yue Su is a little confused, even if a modern young couple gets married, there is no bright sword as soon as he enters the cave room. So he politely bowed his hand and said, "Madam, what does this mean?" ”
"Who's your lady!" Ruan Aoyue was really straightforward and said, "If it weren't for grandma, I would have visited you in the church." ”
Yue Su was also driven to the shelves, but now he has been complained by the bride, and he is not even happy in his heart, thinking that the other party is a woman, it is inconvenient to care, and said: "Now that I have visited the church, I can't regret it, if the young lady is like this, how should I end up next." ”
"It's already a big face to give you a name, what else do you want. Let's find a place to sleep for the night, if you want to go to bed, it's not impossible, I asked this sword first! As he spoke, he reached out and drew his sword.
In all fairness, Yue Su was not afraid of her, believing that with his own ability, he could take the sword down with his bare hands. However, he was not in the mood for that, so he sat down on the chair beside him, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and did not care about anything.
"You ......" This made Ruan Aoyue stunned, I really didn't expect this guy to be so straightforward, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and just slept obediently. It's inevitable that she won't be a little reluctant in her heart, but she really doesn't want to get married, and it's best if the other party is obedient. Lie down on your own bed and sleep in your clothes.
There was nothing to do all night, and when it was dawn, as soon as Ruan Aoyue opened her eyes, she found Yue Su sitting on a chair looking at her.
"What are you looking at?" Ruan Aoyue shouted loudly.
Yue Su smiled and said, "After waiting for you to get up and go with you to say hello to Mrs. Tai, I still have business to do." ”
"You know each other." Ruan Aoyue pursed her lips and said, "You go out first, I'll change my clothes." ”
Yue Su nodded and smiled, and left the room obediently. There was a maid waiting outside the room, still holding the washing water in her hand, Yue Su washed on the stone table outside the room, and when he finished washing, Ruan Aoyue also changed her clothes and walked out of the door. Let the maid go to fetch water again, and after grooming herself, she went to her grandmother's room with Yue Su.
Along the way, Ruan Aoyue was told a thousand times, and the two of them wanted to pretend to be sweet, and when they came to Tang's room, they thought that the old lady would be bedridden, but they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the door, they saw that people were giving incense to the Bodhisattva. That spiritual head, ordinary people can't compare.
The two pretended to be intimate and asked the old lady to say goodbye, and the more the old lady looked at the grandson-in-law, the more she liked it, and praised it before letting the two leave. After the two went out, although they didn't say it, they knew in their hearts that they were clearly fooled by the old lady. But the church also worshipped, and the cave room also entered, if you say that you lonely men and widows are all right all night, who will believe it? In that case, let's only pay attention to it first.
The next thing is to go to greet Ruan Zhenmei and his wife, and after saluting, Ruan Zhenmei asked the young couple to sit down, and then said: "Bingyan, do you have something to hide from me?" ”
Yue Su was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, and said, "Lord Yue knows everything. ”
"When you were drinking last night, the two catchers under your command had already told you your identity, since you are the magistrate of Yangshuo County, why didn't you say it at first, to deceive the old man?"
Yue Su arched his hand upwards and said: "It's not that my son-in-law deliberately concealed it, I originally came to Wuhuai to arrest the key criminals, and at that time, there were many people in the market, and I was worried that after revealing my identity, I would be known by the thieves and fled overnight." So I concealed it for the time being, and wanted to wait until the thief was caught, and then tell the truth. ”
What he said was reasonable, Ruan Zhenmei listened to it, and nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement. On the contrary, Ruan Aoyue seemed to be very interested in Yue Su's capture of the fugitives, and immediately asked, "What kind of prisoner are you going to catch?" ”
"This man is a heinous crime of murder and overselling goods." At that moment, Yue Su simply told the murder case of Shilitun.
"And this matter, do you know where the murderer is now, I will accompany you to arrest someone!" Ruan Aoyue was very positive.
Seeing her daughter like this, Ruan Zhenmei coughed and said, "Aoyue, catching thieves is a man's business, you are a girl, what are you going to do." ”
"Daddy......" Ruan Aoyue rolled her eyes and said: "I also marry a chicken and a dog, and the husband sings and the wife follows." Husband, take me there. At this time, she talked about what three from four virtues, and forgot about not letting Yue Su go to bed last night.
Yue Su's thinking is quite advanced, especially when he recalls the situation when he and Li Lan joined forces to catch the gangsters, although Ruan Aoyue is a woman, it is not indispensable to take her there, after all, there is no danger, and at the same time, you can relive the old dream and find the feeling of the year.
Thinking of this, Yue Su said: "It's okay, anyway, there is only one murderer, there is not much danger, if you like it, just follow it." ”
With Yue Su's approval, Ruan Aoyue was very happy, and actually cheered, "These three are still good from the perspective of the four virtues, and you don't need to obey your father after you get married." ”
It's no wonder that Ruan Aoyue is so happy, usually at home, her father doesn't even let her out of the door, it can be said that she doesn't leave the boudoir in three steps, and now she meets a reasonable husband, don't look at yourself and don't like this family business, but in this regard, she still appreciates it very much - not a pedantic person.
Ruan Zhenmei didn't have a very good way to treat her daughter, otherwise she wouldn't be able to use her surname to do anything to recruit relatives, and now her daughter keeps saying that her husband sings and her wife follows, and she can't even say it.
After having breakfast with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Yue Su immediately asked people to call Jin Chan and Tie Qiu, and prepared to go to the local county government immediately.
Ruan Aoyue took advantage of the fact that Jin Cicada hadn't come yet, and said: "You wait for me here first, I'll go get the guy, go and go back quickly, don't leave by yourself." ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for Yue Su to say anything, left the dining room, and immediately ran towards her happy room.
Ruan Zhenmei shook her head and smiled, looking at Yue Su, "Bingyan, my daughter ......"
Yue Su didn't care, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yue, Aoyue is young now, and when she matures, she will be fine." ”
"I hope so, when you two have a child, it is estimated that she can become a good wife and mother." That being said, how did Ruan Zhenmei know that last night, the two almost met each other, and Yue Su didn't even go up to bed.
Soon, the four of them came to the dining room, Yue Su asked them if they had eaten, and knew that they had already eaten, so they nodded. Don't look at it as just an ordinary inquiry, I am sure that my subordinates are very moved. After a while, Ruan Aoyue finally arrived, this time, she was wearing a man's outfit, wearing a small hat on her head, holding a sword in her left hand, and holding a big wolf dog in her right hand.
If you don't lead this dog, Ruan Aoyue will be a weak and pretty scholar, but with this dog, you can't enter it at all.
The golden cicadas were stunned, Ruan Zhenmei and his wife were used to it, only Yue Su couldn't help but be shocked. Said secretly: "Isn't there such a wolf dog in Lilan, remember that the name seems to be called Xiao Hei." ”
Yue Su's skin was dark and bronzed in his previous life, and Li Lan always joked with him about this, so he named his dog Xiao Hei.
"This is my little baby, the name is Xiao Hei, don't underestimate it, it's amazing, as long as you smell the murderer, no matter how far that person runs to the ends of the earth, you can catch up." Ruan Aoyue led the dog and first introduced it triumphantly.
When Yue Su heard the name of "Little Black", his heart trembled even more, and he involuntarily walked towards the dog. Usually, this wolf dog is also the master of the living, no one dares to approach in the house, and when he saw Yue Su walking in and out of fear, it was a little overwhelmed.
Yue Su came closer, leaned down, and reached out to stroke the dog's erect neck, this is the most comfortable place for the dog, as long as you touch it, it will not get angry with you. Yue Su stroked it gently, Xiao Hei looked like he was enjoying it, as if he had met an old friend, and everyone else was confused. Ruan Aoyue on the side, was in a mess.
After a while, Yue Su stood up and said, "Aoyue, with Xiao Hei's help, we will definitely be able to catch the murderer." Okay, it's not early, let's go to the county government to inform you first, and then go to get someone. ”
After saying that, he strode out of the dining room. The others followed behind and came to the county office together. Yue Su asked Jin Cicada to hand over the famous thorn, and after the messenger took it, he immediately went in to pass the word, and in a moment the door was wide open, and the county ordered Wang Tiecheng to go out to greet him personally. The two entered the government together, Yue Su explained his intentions, although Wang Tiecheng already knew, he still listened patiently, and then said that he would immediately send someone to assist, and ordered the head of the arrester, Zhang Ying, to take twenty messengers and follow Yue Su to arrest the murderer.
Yin Zhu was responsible for leading the way, all the way out of the east gate, ten miles away from the city, there is a small market town, backed by the mountains, it is really a quiet paradise for brothers.
The tolerance swaggered through the market, and the people along the road avoided one after another, and soon came to a small house, Yin Zhu pointed to the door and said, "This is it." ”
What are you waiting for when you find a place, Yue Su waved his hand, and Zhang Ying led the catcher to rush up and slammed the door.
"Which one gets a thousand knives, won't knock on the door honestly, what smash?" A woman's voice came from inside the room.
"Lao Tzu is from the yamen, open the door quickly!" Zhang Ying shouted loudly.
"What's wrong with the Yamen, the old lady didn't do the crime department, can she be so fierce?" As she spoke, the woman opened the door open.
As soon as the door opened, Zhang Ying pushed the woman aside and strode in, and the catchers behind rushed in, and Jin Chan and Tie Qiu finally followed.
There were four rooms in the house, and the servants searched and found no man. The woman shouted, "What are you doing, is there a royal law, go to one of my widows' house and rummage through it." ”
Zhang Ying would not be able to shout at her, and seeing that there were no outsiders, she went out and said, "Lord Yue, there is no man in the room." ”
This time, without waiting for Yue Su to speak, Ruan Aoyue led the dog and broke in, shouting, "I'll take a look." ”
Yue Su was not sure in his heart, after all, it was all Yin Zhu's one-sided words, and he couldn't do it accurately. He glanced at Yin Zhu next to him and asked, "Are you sure it's here?" ”
"The villain is sure that this is here, the senior brother came here to find Qiu Huaili, and there are two big poplars in front of the widow's door." Yin Zhu replied exactly.
"Two big poplar trees in front of the door." This sentence, that said when drinking at Li Zhong's house in Shuangfeng Village, Yin Zhu once said that Yue Su remembered it clearly.
Seeing that there was indeed a poplar tree in front of the door, Yue Su slowly walked up to the woman and asked, "This official asks you, do you know a person named Qiu Huaili?" ”
"I don't know." The woman replied crisply. But his face was full of nervousness.
Yue Su observed the words and saw that what he said was false, and shouted: "I really don't know!" If you deceive your own officials, you will not be spared! ”
"No...... I don't know ...... "women are still denials."
At this moment, Ruan Aoyue's shout came from the room, "Someone just jumped out of the window and escaped!" ”
