Chapter 55: The Contract
Lin Yue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he was much more polite to Master Ma. The smile on his face was cute, "The master is really a good person, it's just that the family has changed residences and there are two children who want to go to school, so I'm afraid it will cost a hundred taels of silver...... This, you see, is the price suitable? ”
When Master Ma heard this, Lin Yue's mouth was a lion's mouth, and he was a little stunned. Who in this village would dare to ask for money from him? It's ridiculous! Master Ma dragged his belly with a smile, "Mrs. Kelin's sister and mother are still visiting relatives in my Ma family's mansion, so it's all a family, can it be less?" ”
Lin Yue has heard a lot, this old man Ma is short of people's hands. said that it was to give money for business, but many people who had worked for the Ma family knew that the Ma family would be in arrears. As long as it is a big tent of ten taels of silver, the Ma family must drag it out.
Lin Yue was not fooled, he was reliable towards Xiao Daxing on the side, and squeaked and smiled kindly, "In this matter, let's talk about it, he is in charge of everything in the family." ”
"Not a word is missing." Master Ma looked at Xiao Daxing, and was treated with a cold attitude by Xiao Daxing, perhaps because Ma Yuanwai was used to his attitude, but he waved his hand at Lin Yue without hesitation.
"Okay, whatever Madame says, it's what it is!" Master Ma readily agreed, and took out the contract from his cuffs as he spoke, as if he was prepared. Lin Yue is sharp-eyed, as for the farce just now, the so-called truth is revealed.
"Since Madame has agreed, let's sign this contract, and let's make two copies." Master Ma happily sent the contract to Lin Yuenian with his own hands.
Lin Yue didn't take it either, "Since we have both cooperated, we will naturally find a good place tomorrow, and we will pay the money with Master Ma and deliver the goods with one hand?" ”
Master Ma hates Lin Yue's ghosts and ghosts, and even his careful thinking is clearly understood. His eyes shrank when he looked at the oblique edge, and coaxed Lin Yue more cautiously, "This contract is signed, don't we both put our minds at ease, businessmen, and the picture is a peace of mind." ”
Lin Yue took the brush handed over from the side and looked at the rules and regulations on the contract. The pen in one hand is slightly raised, and the other hand is twisted in the contract. saw Master Ma's sinister intentions, and at this moment, he signed the contract with a big stroke, and Master Ma secretly laughed in his heart that Lin Yue didn't understand. Who knows, Lin Yue drew a stroke on the contract again, "I looked at the contract but I didn't have any sincerity, Master Ma, please go back!" ”
Ma Yuanwai didn't expect Lin Yue to change his hexagram temporarily, and when he saw that Lin Yue was going to hand over the contract and tear it up, he hurriedly stopped it, and made a gesture to grab it, "Wait!" ”
was robbed by him, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Lin Yue, don't toast and don't eat and drink!" Aren't you afraid that I'll come to smash the field every day?! ”
A sneer escaped from Lin Yue's lips, "If you want to sign a contract, it's troublesome to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" This is my principle, if Master Ma refuses, then please go back! ”
Master Ma couldn't do it at the moment, so he snorted coldly and left. Lin Yue was not in a hurry and still drank tea, and Xiao Daxing on the side glanced at her a few times, only to see that Lin Yue had no heart and no lungs. Xiao Daxing was a little worried, a person was chattering a little on the side, his mouth seemed to have a radish in his mouth, and Lin Yue didn't hear it clearly, "It's all my fault today, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't offend him today." Revenge in the future will also ......"
"What are you muttering?" Lin Yue tilted his head and looked at Xiao Daxing.
Xiao Daxing was silent, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Lin Yue at this moment, but looked at the ground. His lips squirmed a few times, and finally he said, "You don't want to come over tomorrow to set up a stall, you can be at home." ”
Lin Yue didn't feel good for a while, "I must set up a stall tomorrow." ”
Xiao Daxing suddenly raised his eyes and stared at her, and it was the first time Lin Yue had seen Xiao Daxing be so stubborn
Looks, the next moment Xiao Daxing turned around and cleaned up the things on the stall. Without saying a word, he walked in the direction of home, and Lin Yue followed.
At night, Xiao Daxing took the quilt and pillow, and said to Lin Yue, "I'll go sleep in the next room." "For the first night, Xiao Daxing slept in a separate room with himself. Lin Yue thought for a while, and from herself, Xiao Daxing was the first person she saw when she opened her eyes.
Although it is the status of husband and wife, nothing happened to the two, not even a simple kiss. Xiao Daxing takes care of himself as if he is taking care of his relatives. And his own factors for Xiao Daxing can be said to be inexplicable.
Maybe you like it? Always inexplicably dependent. Maybe it's the breeze that slowly falls into a dream, and the fragrance of the night is accompanied by the chirping of cicadas. Lin Yue didn't know when she fell asleep, but she woke up early in the morning, and the warm sun made people warm.
I got dressed and was about to push the door out, but I saw that the water for washing my face in the morning had been prepared and brought in. Lin Yue felt strange and wanted to open the door and walk out, but the porter couldn't open it. Lin Yue shook a few times and called outside, "Xiao Xiaoning!" Xiao Xiaowan ......! ”
No matter how he called it, no one answered him. Lin Yue thought deeply, but he was afraid that this was Xiao Daxia's trouble. It's just that locking her in the house, did you ever think she would be hungry! Lin Yue touched her shriveled belly, a little crying without tears.
Lin Yue sat in the room all morning, and at noon, he saw a soft sound by the window, and Lin Yue slowly walked there with the tips of his ears and pushed the window open. The windows that were fixed before can now be pushed open slightly. And two steamed buns and a plate of pickles came out of the windowsill.
After all, this is for him, he should still want to push the window open a little more, and want to take the opportunity to escape. It's true that I can't push half a point anymore, as if someone is pressing on it. Lin Yue looked carefully, and under the windowsill, the tail of half of the pink shirt was exposed.
Lin Yue knew it in her heart, but she didn't continue to push open the window again, but held her hands by the windowsill and thought for a while, she deliberately slammed the copper basin on the side to the ground. Turning his head to the window, he shouted loudly, "Someone, I've fallen!" ”
She wanted to wait for someone to break down the door, but found that there was no movement outside. It made her puzzled again, and she couldn't help but think deeply, isn't Xiao Xiaoning's little girl enlightened? It's so easy to see through your own strategy.
Lin Yue still didn't give up, and repeated the old trick again.
This time, he changed his strategy, smashed the copper basin towards the flower window, and the next moment, he suddenly pushed it out of the window. I heard a shout from outside: "Ouch, hey! ”
Lin Yue was full of strength and successfully jumped off the windowsill by taking advantage of the vacancy. He thought that Xiao Xiaoning didn't go to class today, but when he turned around, Lin Yue was also startled, and said with some surprise, "Why are you?!" ”
This person is not Xiao Xiaoning, but Sister Meizi, who I haven't seen for a long time, Xiao Xiaoning's companion. Lin Yun asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?" ”
Sister Mei Zi met Lin Yue. In addition to some fear and some pity in his eyes, Lin Yue was a little confused.
I only heard that Meizi was a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "Brother Xiao said, you suddenly got crazy, and you must not be allowed to go out." So he told me to come and keep watch. ”
Lin Yue was so angry that he was a little angry, but he didn't expect Xiao Daxing to say this about himself. At this moment, he was angry, and said angrily, "What about Xiao Daxing and others?!" ”
Every time I was yelled at by her, I was a little frightened. The next moment, he ran towards the door, locked Lin Yue with his hand, and shouted while locking, "Someone is crazy." Be careful, everyone! ”
"......" Lin Yue's heart was like a mixture of five flavors, and she was speechless for a while. Seeing that the door was about to close, his feet were like rabbits, and he immediately rushed forward to stop him, but he was still a step too late after all, and watched Meizi lock the door. Just when Lin Yue was about to despair, he heard a knock on the door.
"Mrs. Lin! Is Mrs. Lin here?! ”
Lin Yue climbed on the door and listened carefully, this was the voice of the shopkeeper Yuan. Lin Yue was excited, "Shopkeeper Yuan!" ”
"Madam, go to the yamen and take a look, the horse clerk took a contract today and sued Uncle Xiao to the court. The county master accepted the Ma family's silver, and at this moment he is beating Uncle Xiao with a stick in the yamen! And the young lady and the son are not here for a while, and I can only come to you to take the master! ”
Lin Yue didn't expect that this horseman would be so bold when he went out. With an uncountable contract, he dared to go to court like this.
"You go find something, pick the lock on the outside of the door for me, and I'll go to the court!" Lin Yue calmed down. Commanded to the shopkeeper Yuan. Shopkeeper Yuan responded and picked the lock of the outer door in a short time.
Lin Yue immediately ran towards the county government quickly, which was not far from the county office. Lin Yue ran two streets and finally caught up, and between them, Xiao Daxing's spanked buttocks were red.
The county magistrate sat in the hall and patted the wooden road, "Come on, drag him down for me!" After speaking, he said to the horse member who was sitting on the side of the public court, and the old god was there, "As for the matter that Master Ma asked, it is up to Master Ma to deal with it personally." ”
"The county master doesn't wait for the green and white to slander my Xiao family. If you still promote unhealthy tendencies like this, you are not afraid of being cut off by the emperor! Lin Yueke was not afraid of anything. As he spoke, he walked out of the crowd.
When the county magistrate saw that it was Lin Yue coming, his heart trembled for a while. Ma Yuanwai is the head snake of this town, he doesn't want to offend, and the Yun family behind Lin Yue naturally doesn't dare. At the moment, he was in a dilemma, Lin Yue came, and he was even more frightened and shouted, "Quit!" ”
Lin Yue didn't buy his account, and beat the drum towards a plate and said, "The woman sued the horse clerk for deception and fraud, and took a fake contract book, ready to defraud my Lin family's secret technique." He also wronged a good person and beat my husband with a stick! ”
When the county master heard this, he looked outside the horse clerk on the side, "Master Ma, what do you say about this?" ”
The horseman had never been afraid, and generously took out a contract paper from his sleeve. Pointing to the signature on it, "Mrs. Lin, do you dare to say that the handwriting on it was not signed by you?!" ”
Lin Yue smiled coldly, "Don't you have long eyes?" I didn't see a bunch of tacit understandings on it, this is a void contract, where did you have the courage to take this void contract to falsely accuse my husband today! ”
While he was talking, he heard a cry outside. Lin Yue turned his head to look, and Mei Zi followed at some point, and when she saw Xiao Daxing's blood, she cried in fright, stepped forward and threw herself aside, crying non-stop.
"Oh, my big brother Xiao, what's wrong with you!" Meizi had tears and snot, crying, but it was more incendiary than Lin Yue, the daughter-in-law who was marrying in the Ming media.
Lin Yue saw Xiao Daxing crawling on the ground, and he didn't say anything at the moment. Meizi stretched out her hand to help him up, and Xiao Daxing also took a hand. got up from the ground and glanced at Lin Yue with some cold eyes. Without speaking, he walked outside.
Ma Yuanwai just saw that Lin Yue was wrong, and at this moment, he walked forward towards the county master, and he was very close. The next moment, he arched his hand, secretly took out a handful of silver tickets from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the hand of the county master, "Lord Hui, it was this Mrs. Lin who signed the contract with me that day." This kind of person who speaks is not a word and goes back on his word. I propose to put her in jail! ”
These words are extremely vicious, if Lin Yue is imprisoned, it will be over. The county magistrate's face was flustered, he naturally knew Lin Yuede's identity, and the fanning at the beginning was just to curry favor with the two ends and get money in the middle. And so on. When it was almost over, he intervened for the two, and in the eyes of the county master, this matter was not a big deal.
It's just that I didn't expect that this Ma Yuan would want Lin Yue to die, so he had to carefully persuade on the side, "Old Man Ma is too worried, but it is a business that has not yet been traded, so he returned the appointment in advance." If we pay a few taels of silver, we will pass, but no one has gone to prison because of this. ”
"But what if I want to?" It doesn't matter if you're a horseman.
"Even if you want to, that's not going to work!" I saw that from the outside, a young man in white with a folding fan in his hand appeared, walked slowly towards the top of the public hall. It was Ruan Xiaoyun who came back, and the county master was about to leave. was blocked by Ruan Xiaoyun. Ruan Xiaoyun still had a pair of smiling eyes, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, with a little coldness and danger.
"I only explained to you the last time I left, this is my second sister, a member of the Yun family. Just a group of you Xiao Xiao, also worthy of her? Ruan Xiaoyun's tone was as cold as December, and his eyes shot straight out of the horse.
The horseman was surprised in his heart, but he had inquired very clearly before he came. In addition to the mother who died early, there is only one father left in this field. And this mother, who died early, just followed Lin Fu from nowhere.
Could it be ......
Master Ma froze in his heart and looked at this young man again. He didn't know if it was the Yun family, but he looked like he was all over his body. And he is the head snake here, and the Yun family's power can't control it here. Master Ma made up his mind: "Come on!" Catch this imposter for me! dared to pretend to be a member of the Yun family. ”
The next moment, I saw a woman in white descending from the sky, and a silver sword slashed through the void, and the sword was straight on the neck of the horseman. The sword was extremely sharp, and a trace of blood knocked out on Ma Yuan's neck. Ruan Qianyun tilted his head sideways and said, "I still know who is my Yun family and who is not, it's not that you are an outsider who can be involved." I think what if I kill you right here? ”
The horseman was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and his fat body trembled terribly. Ruan Qianyun wanted to kill him quickly, but was stopped by Lin Yue, "Wait, don't kill him!" ”
If the horseman dies, I am afraid that there will be more unclear resentments in this town. The next moment, I only heard a burst of movement outside. Everyone looked outside, and saw that a soldier broke through the people around the yamen, and suddenly rushed in, and it turned out to be a light horse!
