Chapter 700: Election Ceremony

With Li Xun's arrangement, the congratulatory gift could be delivered to Maple Village in nearly half of the time, which made Su Xing feel more comfortable, and slightly made up for the regret of not being able to attend the wedding of her eldest nephew.

"I don't know what this sister-in-law looks like." Mei Qingqian was curious about whose daughter Mei Zhongri's stuffy gourd was taken care of.

"The eldest granddaughter of the Xu family in the next village, you played with you when you were a child." Su Xing has a good memory, "A quiet girl, the Xu family is also well-off, and she loves girls very much, and the girls in the family are all thin arms and legs, and they have never been allowed to do rough work." ”

Mei Qingqian nodded, there are many men in the grandfather's family, and he never lets women do rough work, and the Xu family should love their daughters, so they take a fancy to this.

"How's it going?" Mei Qingqian asked with a smile.

"Pack it up." Li Xun was covered in ash, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Mei Zhongyue quietly observed her brother-in-law's expression and asked, "What is my brother-in-law busy with, can we help?" ”

"Clean up the utility room and use it as a workshop." Li Xun replied.

Mei Zhongyue smiled instantly when she heard this, and her brother-in-law didn't accompany her sister for a long time, but she was working for her sister at home.

He looked at the extra pile of junk in the yard again, and guessed that it was the utility room that was cleared, it was really a big pile, and his brother-in-law was really hard.

"Don't cook, let's go eat together." Mei Zhongyue said.

Mei Qingqian looked at Li Xun and guessed that he probably wanted to take a bath, he has always loved cleanliness, and now he must be very uncomfortable.

"It's not going to be today, I still have work to do, and Li Xun has to clean up. I'll go back tomorrow to see my stepmother. Mei Qingqian politely refused.

"Okay, then let's go back first, if you have anything to throw away, we'll help you take it out." Mei Zhongyue said again.

Li Xun was not polite to him, and looked towards the pile of garbage.

Mei Zhongri didn't say a word, and began to move garbage in the past, Mei Zhongyue smiled bitterly, and also rolled up her sleeves and went to work.

The corners of Mei Qingqian's mouth twitched, she really felt some sympathy for the two brothers, and she was called by her to go to the mountains to work as coolies, but when she arrived at her house, she was used as a coolie by Li Xun again.

After Mei Zhongri and Mei Zhongyue were busy leaving, Mei Qingqian went to boil a large pot of water and asked Li Xun to take a bath.

"This soap is for you, it's not too fragrant." She handed over a piece of fragrant pancreas, which she had planned to give to Li Xun two days ago.

The seasoning is different from other fragrant pancreas, after all, those floral fragrances are suitable for women, and Li Xun will not like them.

So she found bamboo leaves and rosin, so that the soap had a crisp taste, and it felt calm, which was very suitable for Li Xun's temperament.

Li Xun was stunned with the soap, and then put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed.

"Made it for me?" He understood at once.

"Well, for you." Mei Qingqian's voice was a little small, so she was embarrassed.

Li Xun chuckled lowly, "Thank you." ”

"You don't have to save it, I'll make it for you when it's done." She said again.

After saying that, she regretted it, she felt that she was stupid, saying this as if this thing was easy to come by, not valuable, she fooled him.

In fact, the ingredients are more particular, and it is more difficult to make than those flowers.

"Okay." Li Xun laughed, and didn't seem to think as she feared.

Mei Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

The conditions at home are limited, and the bath is washed in the stove room, and the boiled water can be put into the wooden barrel.

The two didn't say anything directly, but they both avoided each other while they were taking a shower.

Mei Qingqian saw that Li Xun had almost cleaned up the utility room, so she moved some of her materials in. By the time Li Xun had washed up, she had almost cleaned up.

Finally, in this distant ancient time, she had a workshop of her own.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Mei Qingqian planned to go to the flower farmer's house in the town to get flower petals, and also to see He Shuhuan's situation.

Li Xun had nothing to do, and planned to accompany her, but he didn't want to go out yet, and trouble would come to the door.

"Brother Lu, this is ......" came from the same official Lu who had confessed before.

He said helplessly: "Someone has accused you of unfilial piety, and the county magistrate has been nervous about various things recently, so let me pass you over." ”

"My grandmother sued me, right?" Mei Qingqian asked.

"It was Mei Shan, the head of the Mei family's second room, and his wife Liu who sued you together." Lu Guancha said.

Mei Qingqian turned her head to look at Li Xun, "It seems that the plan has changed." ”

"It's okay, it's all going to town, and I'll be busy with your business later." Li Xun said.

Lu Guancha looked at the two of them with indifferent expressions, and swallowed back the comforting words that had already reached his lips.

Originally, he didn't have to run in person, but he fell into the favor of others before, and as soon as he heard that Mei Qingqian was accused, he came in person.

I thought they would be worried that they would be sad, but they knew that the husband and wife were very stable.

"Since the adult is going to try the case, can I bring a few witnesses? lest I trouble you to summon you in the middle of the trial. Mei Qingqian asked.

"Yes, but don't wait too long." Lu Guancha said.

"Okay."

The village is not big, just call someone when you go out, it's not a trouble.

Then Mei Qingqian went to Meiling's house first and briefly explained the situation.

"The more Meishan lives, the more shameless he becomes!" Mei Lingqi slapped on the table, and was stopped by the old lady next to him, persuading him not to get excited.

"Girl, I'll accompany you on a trip, I'm the patriarch of the Mei clan, and I can still say a few words." Mei Ling got up as he spoke, went to get the genealogy of the Mei family, looked at Mei Zhongyue and said, "Erlang will accompany me, and the others will wait at home." ”

In fact, everyone is a little worried, but going to the yamen is not another place, too many people are not good.

After going out, Mei Qingqian went to the village chief's house again and asked the village chief to testify.

Zhang Ping'an already hated Mei Kang to death, but he didn't expect Mei Shan to be unreasonable and sue Mei Qingqian, he patted his clothes directly and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you on a trip." ”

In this way, Lu Guancha took a group of people to the county office, and saw Liu sitting on the ground crying, his hair was a little scattered, revealing a few strands of white hair, which looked a little desolate.

There were still some people at the door who didn't know the truth watching, and when they saw Lu Guancha coming with Mei Qingqian, they all looked at her.

"See, this is the unfilial granddaughter, she looks very beautiful, how can she beat the elders?"

"Pretty what? I look like a fox, doesn't that woman say that she is not clear with others? ”

"Evil, this kind of unscrupulous descendants must be judged well, and this unhealthy trend cannot be promoted."

“……”

Everyone whispered and talked about it, but most of them believed Liu's words and despised Mei Qingqian very much.

Mei Qingqian couldn't hear what they were talking about, she strode with her head held high and walked into the court without the slightest panic.

Her momentum is full, but many people look at her a few more times, and she thinks that this woman is either not weak at all, or she has done too many bad things, and she doesn't think it's a bad thing.

"I've seen the prefectural commander." Mei Qingqian and his entourage saluted Zhou County.

Zhou County ordered them to introduce themselves one by one, and then everyone briefly introduced them, and Lord Zhou figured out who they were.

He looked at Lu Guancha, "Why did you bring so many?" ”
