Seeing Lin Zhengbei after Wang Dake went out, he said calmly: "Liu Zhixian still has to mean something, otherwise it is always bad for him to not get any benefits in such an unclear way." As the saying goes, the county official is not as good as the current management. He is both a county official and an active administrator, so he cannot be easily offended. ”

Mrs. Wang, who understood what her man meant, did not object. Although they are about to climb to the in-laws of the prefect of Guangxin, the big and small affairs in Guixi County are mainly asked by the magistrate's yamen. She didn't feel distressed about spending another sum of money, and she also thought that it was really so that Liu Wenjing didn't have a copper plate in her pocket, which inevitably made the other party resentful.

"It's too early to know about this." Lin Zhengbei said what he thought in his heart: "I'm worried that the night is long and the dreams are too much, if the Li family repents, then the matter of our marriage with the Qian prefect's family will have to be delayed." The more we drag back, the worse it is for us. After a long period of time, it is really a bamboo basket to draw water. ”

Mrs. Wang, who nodded in agreement, knew that he was about to go out, so she shouted to Wang Dake outside the door and asked him to go down to prepare a sedan chair. She also called her personal maid to send a message to the bookkeeper, so that her bookkeeper could prepare the silver tickets that men need to bring when they go out, after all, there is always a cost to do things.

It wasn't until Lin Zhengbei, who waited for Mr. Ledger, to take the silver ticket that he got up from the circle chair. He said goodbye to his woman and walked straight out. Lin Zhengbei, who sat in a sedan chair, went all the way to the county yamen. Wang Dake, who was on foot, followed closely beside the sedan chair.

When he arrived at the gate of the county office, Wang Dake, who had the post in his hand, went up the steps first, so that the door here could go inside to make a report. Menzi saw that the person who came was not an ordinary person, but Lin Zhengbei himself. He didn't dare to slack off, took the post, didn't charge extra errands, and trotted inside.

Soon, Menzi trotted back and conveyed Liu Wenjing's original words, "Please". Wang Dake, who received the reply, ran down the steps and told Lin Zhengbei in the sedan chair truthfully. After he shouted "press the sedan chair", Lin Zhengbei walked out of the sedan chair without being in a hurry at all, and then followed the guide to the back hall of the county yamen. Wang Dake, who was very knowledgeable, did not go in, but stood outside the gate and waited.

In the main hall, Liu Wenjing, who was dressed in civilian clothes, saw Lin Zhengbei, who came to visit her. He knew more or less in his heart that the other party was here for Li Wenxuan's matter. The two met the courtesy, then divided the guests and hosts, and sat down one after the other. A very ordinary-looking maid walked in from outside the door, finished the tea, and withdrew with her head down.

Lin Zhengbei, who first greeted him for a few sentences, then directly cut to the main topic of coming here: "Several slaves and maids in the family had a misunderstanding with Li Wenxuan, the nephew who was below, and privately came to the county yamen to complain behind my back. made this small matter to the public court, annoying the county lord. Although Li Wenxuan is not a talent, he is not talented, he has a perverse temperament, and he will inevitably do things that are unseemly, but he is always the only bloodline he has always befriended. After this, I think my nephew has also learned the lesson he deserves. In the future, he will also be alert. Under the reluctant request, I hope that the county will not be like him, and can let him go. ”

Liu Wenjing, who heard it very clearly, did not rush to speak, but thought to himself that they were going to make that play. On the first day, the Lin family still put Li Wenxuan to death, but after a day, there was a big change of face, and such a picture of love and love was staged. Although I don't know what they are doing, I really can't believe that there is no Lin Zhengbei's instructions behind the whole thing, after all, the Taoist priests of the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain have already stood up to endorse it.

Lin Zhengbei, who took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his right sleeve pocket, slowly unfolded it and put it on the table and said: "I have never had the opportunity to visit the county hall, and I deeply regret it." A little meaning, a little heart. ”

Liu Wenjing, who understood that he was befriending himself with a head in order to let go of Li Wenxuan, was blind, and he really didn't think that holding Li Wenxuan was a strange thing to live in, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "Since you have no intention of suing Li Wenxuan again, then this county will release him immediately." ”

"Thank you, sir." Lin Zhengbei, who arched his hand, didn't bother much to see that things were going well, and said with a smile: "I am busy with official business in Xiazhi Dao County, so I won't continue to bother here." With that, he got up and was about to leave.

Liu Wenjing, who stood up immediately, did not mean to move his steps to send off, but simply shouted to the door: "Send off." ”

And Lin Zhengbei casually said "Please stay", and then went straight away. At this time, Liu Wenjing, who picked up the silver ticket on the table with two fingers of her right hand, carefully looked at the numbers on the ticket, and then folded it and put it in her sleeve pocket. Without turning around and returning to the study, he called the documents in the yamen, and then explained the release of Li Wenxuan.

In less than half an hour, the official document for the release of Li Wenxuan was personally sent to the county jail. Although the cell boss did not know how to read, he did know the documents in the yamen and the big seal on the official documents. He didn't say a word, so he had to follow the meaning of the official document and release Li Wenxuan from the county prison.

Li Wenxuan, who walked out of prison, the first thing he stopped was to look up at the sky. On this clear and sunny day, a cloud suddenly obscured the sun. In a moment, the sun was revealed again. If he was on weekdays, he wouldn't think much about it, but at this moment, he thought that if he wanted to settle down in this era, he had to learn to see the sun when the situation suddenly changed. His freedom, which was bought in compromise.

Li Wenxuan, who smiled a little, understood his idea very well, but there would be many dangers in doing it. On the way home, he thought to himself, no matter how difficult it is, he has to work hard in that direction, after all, he doesn't want to be bullied and played with like a loach.

Thinking about it, Li Wenxuan walked to the door of his house. Seeing that the door was open, he walked in directly. walked around casually, and saw Zhao Tian'er in the kitchen. She was busy cooking, but she didn't notice that Li Wenxuan was already standing at the door, but squatted on the edge of the stove and concentrated on the fire.

"Tian'er, don't forget to cook my rice." Li Wenxuan, who was leaning on the door frame, said happily.

Zhao Tian'er, who heard this most familiar voice, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stood up. Turning around, she ran towards him with tears of joy and threw herself into his arms.

Li Wenxuan, who hugged her with both hands, felt a little sour in his heart, but kept a smile on his face: "Didn't I tell you?" My son's life is a great blessing, and he will be fine. Look at your face, it's all turned into a little flower cat. Raising his right hand, he went to wipe the black ash on Zhao Tian'er's face.

Zhao Tian'er, who finally held back her tears, looked very happy when she saw him come back safe and sound, and even said incoherently: "The slave will go to burn the brazier for the son to get lucky." ”

Li Wenxuan, who held her hand, didn't want to hear her call herself so despicably again, so he pretended to be angry and said, "Don't call yourself a slave again, and don't call me a son anymore." If you don't obey, then I will punish you. ”

Zhao Tian'er, who has been shouting smoothly since she was a child, was really difficult to change her mouth for a while, and asked timidly: "If the slave doesn't call you son-in-law, what do you call it?" Slaves and maids are not called slaves, so what should they be called? ”

"From now on, you can call me Li Wenxuan or Wenxuan, whatever you like. Anyway, you can't call me Childe anymore. As for you, you call yourself sweet. Li Wenxuan was serious and said: "Don't make mistakes again." ”

Zhao Tian'er, who nodded vigorously, was very happy in her heart. She felt that the distance between herself and Li Wenxuan had instantly narrowed a lot. In addition to being more intimate than before, there is also an indescribable wonder that has come out again.

"It's not good, the rice is burned." Zhao Tian'er, who smelled the smell of rice paste, gently pushed Li Wenxuan away and shouted.

Turning back, she took two steps and one step, hurried to the stove, opened the iron pot with both hands, and placed it on the stove. Momentarily happy, she forgot what she was doing, and instead of reducing the fire in the stove, she added two more pieces of firewood, intending to cook another pot of rice. As for the mushy rice, of course, I ate it myself.

Li Wenxuan, who was standing on the side, saw Zhao Tian'er go to the side of the rice jar with a coarse porcelain urn in her arms, and immediately understood her intentions, so she quickly came to him and stopped: "No need." ”

"Tian'er is really stupid, she can't even cook a meal." Zhao Tianer, who blamed herself again and again, completely took the fault and said.

Li Wenxuan, who gently scratched her little nose, said softly: "You are not wrong, but it is all my fault, then punish me for eating this pot of burnt rice." ”

"How? You're a childe. Zhao Tian'er said anxiously: "Even if you want to eat, you are a slave to eat." ”

Li Wenxuan, who laughed, bared his teeth and said, "What are you calling me, and what are you calling you?" ”

Zhao Tian'er, who had just said the word "childe", suddenly understood, so she quickly covered her mouth with her right hand and did not blurt out the word "slave" again.

Li Wenxuan, who was squeezing his eyebrows, cheered and said, "Do you think I beat your ass, or play your head as punishment?" ”

Zhao Tian'er, who shook her head like a rattle, took two steps back, pursed her lips and said, "Don't do neither." ”

Li Wenxuan pretended to make a straight face and said: "It's not possible to play tricks." I'm going to punish you, or you're not going to have a long memory. ”

Zhao Tianer, who was holding the coarse porcelain urn with both hands, shouted "don't" again and again, and ran around the kitchen, so as not to be punished by him, after all, he felt too embarrassed to be spanked, and it was too painful to be spanked. Li Wenxuan, who didn't really want to punish her, naturally slowed down his pace and movements, pretending to catch her.
