Chapter 21: The village chief slaps the table

Not long after, Gu Jinxiu met Li Mojin.

She wondered why Li Mojin wanted to see her.

Is it because of the pretending to be a cook?

Gu Jinxiu bowed to Li Mojin with apprehension.

After getting Li Mojin's permission to sit down, Gu Jinxiu sat there without saying a word, waiting for him to speak.

Li Mojin looked at Gu Jinxiu, and saw that she dared to look at him at eye level, without the slightest fear, just like the first meeting in her previous life, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she praised: "The noodles you make are delicious, what reward do you want?" ”

Doesn't this person blame her for pretending to be a cook?

Gu Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said modestly: "It is an honor for the noodles made in Xia to be liked by adults, and there is no need for an adult to reward them." ”

Li Mojin saw Gu Jinxiu's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, he was amused in his heart, and asked expressionlessly, "Do you like to cook for me?" ”

If she hadn't been threatened by his family, she wouldn't have cooked for this person.

Gu Jinxiu said incorrectly: "I like to cook for adults very much." ”

Li Mojin knew that Gu Jinxiu was unhappy, so he teased her and said, "Since you like it, then you can stay and cook!" ”

She still has to earn money, where can she find the time to cook for this person.

Gu Jinxiu refused: "My lord, I still owe you money and haven't paid it back!" ”

Li Mojin said indifferently: "It's just right, you can work here to pay off your debts." ”

It's not a good idea to work to pay off your debts!

How much can a cook get paid in a month!

I'm afraid she can't pay 10,000 taels for a lifetime as a cook, not to mention that she doesn't really want to pay back.

Gu Jinxiu refused: "My lord, I'm afraid this won't work, my mother is more than seven months pregnant, and I don't worry about her being home alone." ”

Li Mojin glanced at Gu Jinxiu lightly, and said loosely: "Since this is the case, then you can come and cook a meal at noon every day!" ”

Gu Jinxiu refused again: "I am the village chief of the third surname village, and I am very busy!" ”

Li Mojin said: "This official allows you to resign!" ”

If she didn't know the fate of the Lin and Gao clans, she would happily resign as village chief.

Now, the village chief is his own talisman!

Gu Jinxiu would not agree to resign, and said with a solemn face: "My lord, although the village chief is very busy, I like to do things for the villagers. ”

Li Mojin saw Gu Jinxiu's righteous words, and thought that if he continued to say that he would not let her do it now, he didn't know what would happen.

Then he said: "Gu Juren, is it not as important to cook for this official as the village head?" ”

Gu Jinxiu wanted to say no, under Li Mojin's official authority, she didn't dare!

She said: "Although the village chief has no quality, it is very important for Zaixia, and he can't do without this errand." ”

Li Mojin asked, "Do you dislike the position of village chief?" ”

Gu Jinxiu immediately shook her head and said no, she values this position very much now!

Just as she racked her brains to find a way to refuse to cook, Li Mojin sat on top and looked at her.

For a moment, the flower hall became quiet.

At this time, Li Yi brought two cups of tea and handed them to the two of them.

Li Mojin drank tea with a teacup.

Gu Jinxiu inadvertently saw the teacup in his hand.

She looked at it with wide eyes, and confirmed it repeatedly, but it still felt familiar.

She looked down at the small table beside her.

At this time, there was a cup on the table that was exactly the same as that in Li Mojin's hand.

In an instant, Gu Jinxiu remembered-isn't this a teacup that puts a huge debt on his back?

Didn't Li Mojin say that the teacup was the last work of the previous dynasty, and it was the only one in the world!

How can there be anything else here?

Could it be that she was deceived?

Thinking of this result, Gu Jinxiu's face became ugly.

She slapped the table angrily, only to hear a "snap", and the tea cup on the small table shook, and it became extremely loud in this quiet flower hall.

"Gu Juren, what's wrong?"

Li Mojin saw Gu Jinxiu's face, and saw her staring at the cup in his hand, knowing what she was thinking, and added, "I asked my entourage to buy it from the pawn shop." ”

Uh, this ......

Gu Jinxiu looked at Li Mojin with an embarrassed face, wondering if this was true or not, and when she saw Li who was expressionless again, she nodded her head and understood that this was true.

Then I thought that Li Mojin was likely to ask her to pay back!

Gu Jinxiu began to cry poor.

She pretended to wipe her tears and said: "My lord, my family is very poor, my mother is old and frail, my wife is pregnant, neither of them can work, the family's livelihood is all on me, and I am a powerless scholar......"

Li Mojin looked at the little fox below and interrupted: "Okay, I won't urge you to pay back the money now." ”

"Really?" Gu Jinxiu stopped wiping her tears and asked.

Li Mojin said: "If you don't believe it, then pay back the money now." ”

Gu Jinxiu hurriedly said: "I believe, I believe." ”

Thinking of cooking again, he felt that it was better to slip away quickly, Gu Jinxiu said: "My lord, I still have urgent things to find Master Liu, I'll go first." ”

Gu Jinxiu was about to slip away, but was stopped by Li Mojin.

Li Mojin said casually: "Master Liu is not free now, he is reorganizing the dossier, just tell me if you have anything!" ”

Is this Master Liu's book really unavailable?

But it's okay to find the lord of a county directly!

"Then I'm tired of my lord."

Gu Jinxiu sat down again and said with a smile: "I want to set up a female household." ”

The two people present looked at Gu Jinxiu, and their eyes showed why you want a man to set up a female household.

Gu Jinxiu saw that they had misunderstood, and explained: "It's not that I set up a female household, but that I help others set up a female household." ”

As for her female household, we'll talk about it later!

Li Mojin asked, "Is the person who established the household here?" ”

When Gu Jinxiu heard this, she understood that this was to act in accordance with the law.

So, she told what happened to the Lin family, hoping to win Li Mojin's sympathy and give an extrajudicial favor.

Gu Jinxiu's idea was good, but after Li Mojin heard it, he still didn't change his words: "Since no one came, then you can do it another day!" ”

Now Aunt Gu's family has been staring at the Lin family, it is better to get things done today, Gu Jinxiu discussed: "My lord, although this matter is a little difficult to handle, I am willing to spend a little more silver." ”

That's all right, right?

Li Mojin said solemnly: "This official will not bend the law for personal gain, and this official also advises Gu Juren not to act like this in the future, if you bribe in front of this official next time, you will bear the consequences." ”

Taken aback by Li Mojin's words, Gu Jinxiu shrunk her neck and muttered in a low voice: "This person is really impersonal, can't he be accommodating because of what happened to the Lin family?" ”

When Li Mojin, who had amazing ears, heard this, he said with a solemn face: "If other women are like the Lin family, how will the official act?" ”

Then abolish this law!

Gu Jinxiu only dared to think about it in her heart, and did not dare to say this shocking words.

This law oppresses women.

If not, many women may think of setting up a female household, and the authority of men will be more or less challenged.

This is something that is not allowed to happen in this era.

She doesn't have the power to change this age-old society.

Gu Jinxiu didn't give up, and asked again: "Do you really want to act according to the law?" ”

Li Mojin nodded slightly.

Gu Jinxiu looked at the impersonal Li Mojin, pursed her lips, and said, "Now that the Lin family's injuries have not healed, if you have to suffer those twenty boards again, it will be just right for a yin marriage." ”

Why do you need a female household?

Li Mojin promised: "If you bring someone tomorrow, the official will deal with it, and she will definitely not be killed." ”

Gu Jinxiu hesitated for a long time and finally agreed.

When the Lin family is beaten tomorrow, she will pay some money for the beating officials to do lightly.

After thinking about it, Gu Jinxiu didn't stay any longer, and immediately said goodbye to Li Mojin, afraid that he would mention cooking again.

Li Mojin saw Gu Jinxiu's figure leaving in a hurry, and asked, "Li Yi, is this official very scary?" ”

Li Yi glanced at Li Mojin's cold face, and thought of the conversation between Li Mojin and Gu Gongzi, and wanted to nod, but under Li Mojin's compelling gaze, he shook his head stiffly.
