Chapter 81: Trouble Comes to the Door
Stir-fried pork loin, cold pork belly, halal steak, pigeon soup, broccoli...
Li Mingyue and the maid Qing'er were in the small kitchen in their yard, making it fragrant, and suddenly a maid outside came to report in a panic: "Miss, hurry, the master is invited." ”
"Look at your panicked look, is there anything important?"
Li Mingyue dropped the spoon, wiped her hands on her apron, and glared at the visitor.
"Yes, yes, someone from the county government came and said that they wanted to hand over some drought-fighting materials, and the lord told you to go and discuss it."
The little girl's face was flushed, and her voice was very fast, and she seemed to be really anxious.
"Alas, it's a pity that I've been making it for a long time, and I can't eat so many good dishes, but I can't eat it in my mouth, and I'm afraid it's cold when I come back."
Qing'er pouted and muttered.
"The lord is invited, 100,000 are in a hurry, do you dare not go?"
Li Mingyue glanced at Qing'er, followed behind the maid's ass, and walked towards the hall.
In the hall of the Li family, Li Huaishu was walking around irritably, constantly looking in the direction of the small courtyard where the eldest daughter lived.
At the bottom of the hall, there were three people standing, quietly waiting for the Li family's reply.
They were ordered by the county magistrate to come to Li's house to ask for money and food to fight the drought.
"Yue'er, hurry up, what do you say about this matter?"
As soon as Li Mingyue stepped into the hall with her front foot, her father was impatient to tell the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the Li family was asked to donate 100 loads of millet on the grounds of this year's drought, but now at home, even if the whole family does not eat or drink, they can't take out so much grain.
So Li Huaishu was very anxious and didn't know how to answer.
After Li Mingyue knew the ins and outs of the matter, the whip in his hand snapped and said to the three people standing below: "May I ask the three messengers, do each family have to donate 100 loads of grain?" ”
"We don't know about this, let's just guess, what should we do if we are told above? We can only do what we can do, and we don't know anything else. ”
The three poor people were waiting a little impatiently, but just now the eldest lady showed her hand, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Go back and tell your grandfather, don't talk about a hundred taels now, we can't take out 50 loads.
This year's drought has caused losses to all families, so why do we have to produce so much grain? Did the people of the other four major families all produce grain? Sorry, no, the housekeeper sent off. ”
Li Mingyue once again snapped the whip in his hand, which scared a few guys, if you really want to say that the consequences of resisting donations are very serious, Zhang Ergongzi walked in from outside with a smile.
Looking at Li Mingyue, she smiled weirdly: "I said your eldest lady, aren't you very good?" Your family won't be able to take out a hundred loads of grain, right?
You must know that this is an order from above, and resisting donations is punishable by jail. ”
"I see, it's all your doing, isn't it? What I want to ask is did your family donate?
Donate drought-fighting materials, the four major families should be treated equally, and it is impossible to just ask our Li family to pay it. ”
Seeing someone, Li Mingyue immediately understood what was going on, it must have been this guy's ghost.
Zhang Qingchen coughed dryly, held his head high and said arrogantly: "Whether other people's families pay it or not is someone else's business, the key is that if your family doesn't pay it, I will come to get someone." ”
"If you dare, even if I promise the whip in my hand, I won't agree, if you are beaten into a trick and forcibly blackmailed, I will go up there and sue you."
Li Mingyue saw that someone looked invincible, and she really wanted to step forward and whip him twice.
Zhang Qingchen relied on the close relationship between his family and the county master, and he looked very arrogant and fearless.
He faced Li Mingyue and her father Li Huaishu, that is, the Li family, snorted coldly, and said with a straight face: "You can sue wherever you like, it's useless to sue again, anyway, your family has donated this grain, unless you agree to my marriage, I can go and ask the county master to intercede and help you exempt." ”
"Look, the fox's tail is exposed, right? The most fundamental thing is that you are making trouble in the middle, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, see I don't want your dog head today. ”
Before Li Mingyue's words fell, the whip in her hand trembled, and she ran towards someone like a snake, and the frightened Zhang Qingchen hurriedly dodged and dodged.
But he said, "Miss Li, don't do it, okay?" Let's have something to say, I'm really sincere to you! ”
"Really you're big, look at the whip!"
The whip in Li Mingyue's hand followed like a shadow, chasing Zhang Qingchen and not letting go.
Zhang Ergongzi knew that he was not someone's opponent, so he didn't dare to fight.
But his mouth was not convinced at all: "I said your eldest lady, don't rush like this, okay?" A woman is too domineering, who would dare to ask for wow? Only people like me, Princess Zhang Er, treat you as a treasure.
You should thank me! ”
"Get out!" Li Mingyue snorted softly, and the whip in his hand snapped on someone's body, although it was not too heavy, it was enough to make Zhang Ergongzi grin in pain.
"Did I say you're coming? Then you're welcome. You three guys, get it on me! Tie up Miss Li. ”
Zhang Qingchen waved the sword in his hand and was about to make a move.
The three messengers clenched their swords and prepared to strike.
"Wait!" Li Huaishu, who was hiding on the side, was afraid that his daughter would suffer a loss if he fought, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
"Or is my future father-in-law polite, do you want to donate food, or agree to marry your daughter to me?"
Zhang Qingchen proudly waited for Li Huaishu's reply.
Li Mingyue was so angry that she smoked, and waved her whip like someone had smoked it.
Zhang retreated at two o'clock in the morning, but the whip always chased after him as if it had eyes.
Zhang Qingchen was so frightened that he ran all over the house, and soon he was tired and sweating profusely.
"Miss, spare your life, spare your life, don't murder your husband!" Zhang Qingchen's guy can't do it, but his mouth stinks.
was so angry that Li Mingyue didn't want it.
"I can see it, it's not an official sent by the county lord at all, it was called by your kid, presumably our family is compliant, right?"
The whip in Li Mingyue's hand pressed on someone step by step, and her mouth was not idle.
"So what? Isn't it? Anyway, I'm going to marry you in this life, and if you don't agree, I'll come to your family every day for trouble. ”
Zhang Qingchen looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, the duck meat was rotten, and his mouth was still there.
"Don't even think about it, this girl just can't get married, and she won't marry you, look at the whip."
Li Mingyue used a trick this time, the whip snapped on someone's waist again, and the force was obviously heavier than before, someone in pain sighed, rolled on the ground, and hurriedly beckoned to the three subordinates, and fled in embarrassment!
Li Mingyue put away the whip, clapped her hands, and shouted to Zhang Qingchen, who escaped from the door: "If you dare to come again, I will cut off your dog's head and kick it as a ball, do you believe it or not?" ”
