Chapter 72: Youzhou (28)
Jiao Er immediately came over: "The shopkeeper is busy, I'll just come." ”
Lan Rongzhuan was a little unhappy, and was just about to speak, when his mother's voice came from the side.
"Aren't you Zeng Guan'er? I heard that you have three older brothers, but I don't know where you got your younger brothers. Lu Yingfang felt that it was better to nip things in the bud than to look at them with hindsight.
Zeng Wan'er's face turned pale and took a step back!
"When you went to the Xie family's mansion for the New Year, you were still wearing beaded flowers worth ten taels of silver, why did you dress like this?" Lu Yingfang asked loudly.
The surrounding scholars and people who came to buy the monthly magazine all took a look.
"Really, this little girl is really Zengsheng's daughter, why is she dressed like this?"
"You heard that the second wife Qian went to Cangzhou to recuperate, and the second son also went."
"Nonsense, is Cangzhou a place to recuperate? That's clearly ......"
"Why is this little lady of the Zeng family dressed like this?"
The voices of the surrounding discussions came, Zeng Guan'er was originally going to approach Lan Rongzhuan, but now that she was recognized, her face turned red.
"The Lan family is poor, they don't take concubines, and they don't plan to accept maids anymore. Miss Zeng's heart is still dead! Lu Yingfang said unceremoniously.
But some people were not angry: "Old lady, you are saying this too much!" Miss Zeng is just here to buy something, and you say this, ruining the little girl's reputation. ”
Zeng Wan'er listened, with tears in her eyes: "I came to buy things for my brother in the next room, for fear of being recognized, so I dressed like this." Isn't the old lady trying to force me to death when she says this? ”
Lu Yingfang was confident: "Since I dare to say it, I am not a person who is afraid of things!" The night before, your family had an extra 50 acres of land under their name, and your brother had already submitted an application for Mingde College. Your family is poor, how can you come up with two thousand taels of silver? If you become the concubine of the Lan family, you can come up with a recipe. ”
"No...... Don't ......" Zeng Guan'er grew up in the complicated Zeng family, and she immediately burst into tears, "You are innocent, I ...... I'm not alive anymore! After saying that, he wanted to hit the pillar next to him.
Jiao Er had already paid attention to her, and as soon as he dragged her to the ground, she whimpered and cried on the ground.
Immediately, some people around couldn't stand it: "Old lady, you can't bully people!" This little lady is just here to buy something. ”
Lu Yingfang didn't plan to endure it any longer: "A few days ago, a pair of children sold themselves to bury their father at our door, do you remember?" ”
Everybody knows about it, because those two people were bought by someone else.
It was probably the last time he sold himself to bury his father, he was brought into the mansion and poisoned again, but Master Di did not publicize it. So this time I came to sell my body to bury my father's drama. It's just that Lu Yingfang felt that the other party came to sell his body near the bookstore, which should be aimed at them. So she asked Zeng Shuzhi to come forward to buy them, and directly took their identity documents and sent them to the government to check their household registration.
It turned out that the household registration of the two children was forged, so they were quietly locked up in a Zhuangzi of Lord Tao. The two children didn't know that they were exposed, and they thought that they could enter the Lan family after the inspection period in Zhuangzi.
Fortunately, Master Tao was a strong supporter of the Lan family, and when he learned that someone wanted to infiltrate the Lan family, he was very angry and wrote to the emperor.
"You may not know that those two children are not brother and sister at all, and the one who died was not their father. The girl was the young lady's personal maid. The boy was her wet nurse's son. I'm wondering, why do all your people want to enter my Lan family? Lu Yingfang said sharply.
Zeng Wan'er was stunned and couldn't cry anymore. All she heard was that the two children had been bought and then disappeared.
"Those two children are witnesses! If we don't go to court, why is your family trying to enter my door? If you come to the store today, if you rely on my son, won't you say that your innocence is ruined, and my son can only admit you to the door? Lu Yingfang's voice suddenly became louder, she was really angry, her merits were worth it......
The faces of the people around looked at Zeng Wan'er on the ground, this is the person who wants to steal the recipe!
Lu Yingfang said excitedly: "My Lan family has never hidden their secrets, and these recipes are for the people. Your manuscript will be sent to Beijing for the emperor and queen to read. Now that someone is looking for trouble again and again, whose face is this? ”
Wow, everyone gasped for air. Will the manuscript be shown to the emperor and queen?
Lu Yingfang said hatefully: "Your mother told you that if you can marry into the Lan family, she will give you a dowry of five hundred taels, but have you ever thought about it, is it good to be a concubine with someone?" For the sake of Fangzi, for the sake of property, the Zeng family sold their daughter, who do they want to please? ”
This is quite serious, and the name is said to the Xie family!
"Send the official, send the official." One of the people shouted, and the rest shouted.
Zeng Wan'er's face turned pale: "I'm just...... Come and buy things...... "sent to the official, her life is over." Who would marry a little lady who has been in court?
Lu Yingfang waved her hand and said condescendingly: "Do you know why I know this? ”
Zeng Wan'er was already stunned.
"I brought it from the capital, and there are two masters, they are good at finding out the news." Lu Yingfang felt that it was really right for her to keep Zhang San and Li Si at the beginning, and it would be good to bluff people with them.
It turns out that the Lan family is so powerful, there are actually spies left in Beijing! The people around me looked like I understood.
"There you go!" Lu Yingfang said impatiently, "Tell the people above you to make less trouble." These will be written into the fold, and the emperor will see it. ”
Will the emperor know? Zeng Wan'er's eyes went dark and she fainted completely.
A delicate little lady fainted at the door of the bookstore, and Lu Yingfang didn't want to leave her to rest. She said directly to the aunt outside: "Aunt Ye, I'll give you ten copper plates, can you help send this little lady to the hospital?" ”
Aunt Ye is Cao'er's grandmother, since she knew that Cao'er's family had entered the blessed nest, she came over every once in a while to show her deep mother-son affection. Originally, she also wanted to work in the workshop, but Aunt Bai didn't accept her. She wanted to come to Cao'er Daddy again today to ask for pocket money, and when she heard that there was a bustle in the bookstore opposite, she squeezed over.
Aunt Ye responded happily, she was very strong, and the petite Zeng Wan'er on her back ran steadily towards the medical hall.
"Don't have to find someone to follow?" Lan Rong said worriedly, "What if something happens to this little lady......"
"Zeng's family is nearby, so they will naturally pick her up when they get to the hospital." Lu Yingfang didn't care. But she's a fox and a fake tiger, the emperor shouldn't care!
As for the emperor asking why she knew this, she simply pushed it to the ancestors.
She envied Jiang Xue that he only had a knowledgeable ancestor, at least he didn't have to charge.
- Host, don't do this! Fifty merits are worth spoilers once, which is already very cheap. Look at you, after buying the breeding manual, there are still 800 merit points recently! Accumulate a lot, people who have read the monthly magazine will be grateful to the Lan family, this is all your merit!
Lv Yingfang: I think it's strange, what kind of strong pills and high-efficiency painkillers sold in the mall are all high-tech products, why can't potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes be bought on Taobao for 100 merits, but for 1,000 merits?
- This is to stimulate your determination to earn merit points!
Lu Yingfang: Get out.
If the Xie family continues to send people to make trouble, and Lei Changting also comes to make trouble, her merit will never be worth thousands!
Is there a one-size-fits-all solution?
Even if you don't come to Youzhou and return to your ancestral home, I'm afraid that there will be more problems!
What happened in the academy, Lan Rongzhuan didn't know yet. He took a carriage to send a manuscript to Xiao Changshan, he decided to talk to Xiao Changshan, he wanted to continue studying, write that Xiao Changshan can guide him, if Xiao Changshan is busy, can you let Yang Xuezheng guide him? It doesn't take much time, can he come to the academy every five days in the future? Thinking about it, Lan Rong turned a little apprehensive.
Xiao Changshan shouldn't refuse him, right?
When he was a child, his father forced him to study, and he misses that time so much now.
Even if he didn't get the imperial examination, he still had two children at home. He decided to be a good role model. So he wanted to personally send the manuscript today and interview Xiao Changshan.
At this time, a voice came from outside the carriage: "Is this the car of the blue shopkeeper?" ”
Lin Zi's voice also came: "Yes." Are you an outsider? ”
"Yes to ......" came from the other side.
Lan Rong opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that the people in the carriage on the opposite side had come down.
The customs officer is a supplier of paper and pens in the bookstore, and he is usually very kind.
Seeing that the other party had already gotten out of the carriage, Lan Rongzhuan couldn't sit in the carriage.
The customs officer has a big belly and wears thick clothes, and it is estimated that the Spring Festival has grown meat again, and his neck is so thick that he can't see it. He said with a smile: "Last time I wanted to ask you for a drink, this day is better than hitting the day, go to my house for a drink today." I specially asked someone to order chrysanthemum brewing with Yuanzhou. "The customs officer is kindly invited.
Lan Rong turned to find Xiao Changshan, and naturally refused: "I want to go to Mingde Academy next time, next time!" ”
One of the family mottos of the old lady of the Lan family: Don't easily accept to go to other people's houses to eat and drink, and recite poems against you.
Maybe after you go in, you will find that a young lady is changing clothes, and then Fei Qing will not marry.
Or you'll be knocked unconscious by a slap, and so-and-so's wife will sleep next to you, and then a lot of people will rush in to catch the rape.
You may even faint at the scene of the murder and wake up to find that everyone has testified that you are the murderer.
I have to say that my mother's family motto is too fine, so who would dare to be a guest?
Will the Governor of Xipingzhou Ye find someone to do it again? They're going to be careful anyway!
The customs officer waved his hand: "You want to send a manuscript, right?" Why don't you wait for you at Qingfeng Restaurant after you finish sending your manuscript? That's all right, be sure to have a drink. ”
It's safer to go to a restaurant to talk about things than to go to home! Besides, this Qingfeng Restaurant is Mrs. Di's property, so Lan Rongzhuan readily agreed. The most important thing is that Xiao Changshan agreed to point out his article, he was in a good mood, and seemed to spit out the turbidity in his chest.
