After Fu Wuniang left, Shopkeeper Ye felt that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

At that time, he had just met Gu Xixi's eyes, as if he had mixed oil in honey, and then rumors came out that Fu Wuniang was in love with him.

Hearing this, Gu Xixi was a little jealous, saying that he had a lot of rotten peach blossoms. But he smiled and said disappreciatively: "You also believe the rumors in the market, I'm just a poor student who can't even lift people, how can she look up to me as a beauty?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Xixi was a little speechless for a while, because she originally wanted to say, then why did I fall in love with you. But after thinking about it, doesn't this prove that Shopkeeper Ye is not only poor but also unable to be lifted?

Although he said this, there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

Now it seems to be true.

Fu Wuniang did this, to be honest, it was very unexpected for Shopkeeper Ye.

Brave as a pity, although he had a dewy relationship with himself and had a son, he did not succumb to the pressure of the family and the world in the end.

A woman from a family is born with a scale in her heart. On the right and left scales of this scale is nothing more than the reputation of the family, the love of the father-in-law, and the number of children. As for himself, he has always been slight, so light that he has no weight at all, and he is not qualified to go on this scale at all.

Shopkeeper Ye can't be calm, but Fu Wuniang is so calm that he can't be calm.

Following the original path, Fu Wuniang slowly walked out of the prison.

At this time, it was just a little more than three watches, and there was still some time before dawn. When the two janitors saw Fu Wuniang coming out, they both returned to their upright posture and stood steadily.

It's just that the eyes that are looking up and down, left and right, still betray them.

It's no wonder that Fu Wuniang should be regarded as the most beautiful woman who has entered and exited here since the establishment of this county government prison, and it is enough to remember it after a few more glances.

thanked them and got into the carriage, Fu Wuniang asked Uncle He to drive, and said to Butterfly: "Butterfly, do you remember Mao Gongzi in the south of the capital?" ”

Seeing that Fu Wuniang was out of prison safe and sound, the butterfly was already thankful in her heart. In the short time that has passed, every second is a torment for her.

Therefore, for Fu Wuniang's suddenly confused question, the butterfly was no longer as surprised as at the beginning, anyway, what the other party said was what it was. After thinking about it, he said, "Miss is talking about the son of the little overlord in Mao Mansion?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Wuniang smiled and nodded.

Seeing Fu Wuniang like this, as if she understood the meaning of the words, the butterfly covered her mouth in surprise and said in surprise: "Miss, you...... You shouldn't have come back to Beijing for him, right? Miss, this is not good, that Mao boy is really ......"

"Ugly, huh?" Fu Wuniang didn't mind Butterfly's surprised expression and desperate opposition, "Yes, I know that Mao Gongzi looks mediocre, but, Butterfly, you remember, in this world, people's hearts are always insufficient." There are many handsome men, and they are pleasing to the eye, but their hearts are naturally restless and they are never willing to stay for a woman. However, Mao Gongzi is willing to be a couple with me for the rest of my life. ”

Among Fu Wuniang's many suitors, Mao Gongzi is definitely the most ordinary-looking, and even, a little ugly. However, it was precisely because of this that he dared to say to Fu Wuniang the oath of "three thousand weak water, I will only take one scoop to drink".

Speaking of this Mao Gongzi, it is definitely a legend in the capital.

The Mao family has been a doctor for generations, and it goes without saying that the medical skills are exquisite, otherwise they would not have been able to enter the hospital and become a doctor.

It is said that there are many imperial doctors in the capital, but why is the Dudu Mao family the most famous? Without him, in addition to the imperial doctor in the palace, the Mao family has made great efforts to cultivate many elites among future generations.

They did not enter the court as officials, but practiced medicine in the capital and the areas near the capital, and quickly opened up the situation with the characteristics of "no distinction between high and low, reasonable consultation fees, and medicine to cure diseases".

After hearing about it, the saint today gave him a plaque of "benevolent doctor". This made the reputation of the Mao family reach its peak for a while, and the scenery is unlimited.

And the Mao family has been a doctor for generations, and there are no gangs in the court, and there is no military power, such a person makes all forces feel at ease, and there is no threat, so there are very few people who are jealous.

Mao Gongzi is the eldest son and grandson of the Mao family's generation, although his appearance is up and down, but he is talented and wise. As a result, his ancestor Mao Imperial Physician intended to cultivate him as his successor. How do you know that although this Mao boy is smart, he naturally doesn't like to practice medicine, he scolded and scolded, and beat him, and Imperial Doctor Mao had to give up.

Although he has no achievements in medical skills, this Mao Gongzi likes to invent. So far, his invention is more recognized for grinding medicinal utensils, bellows, and lighting with stone paint.

In addition, he also likes to collect gold and stones and all kinds of ancient books.

Fu Wuniang studied Li Yishan's poems hard in order to please Ye Shopkeeper before, and these books were all found with the help of Mao Gongzi, and almost all of them were unique.

The most talked-about thing about Mao Gongzi is that he likes to spy on people's privacy and loves to fight grievances. At the beginning, there was a wealthy man surnamed Luo who didn't believe in evil, and he wanted to do something to bully men and women, but as a result, he was somehow targeted by Mao Gongzi.

So, within a few days, the whole city knew about this Luo Gongzi's quirks, so that he didn't dare to go out for several months.

In this regard, the people of the capital unexpectedly fully supported Mao Gongzi, and even boasted that he was "a soldier who surrendered without a fight", which was beneficial to the country and the family.

As Mao Gongzi's reputation grew, some good people picked up the fact that Mao Gongzi donated 10,000 catties of grain to the Cangzhou arid area some time ago.

For a time, many aunts and aunts fell in love with this Mao Gongzi who loves invention, loves to fight grievances, and loves to do good deeds, and it is said that an organization has been established, called "Love Mao Club", which is dedicated to supporting and promoting Mao Gongzi.

For such a person, Fu Wuniang is naturally grateful, and he also came to a letter last month, which means that he has been waiting for Fu Wuniang and has not yet married. So, Fu Wuniang quickly replied to the letter and agreed to his marriage proposal.

It's just that before agreeing to his marriage proposal, Fu Wuniang wrote to him and asked: "I used to love one person, and this love is more than ten years. But now, I don't love him anymore. Although he and I are clear and clear, and we are courteous, do you mind this matter? ”

Mao Gongzi quickly replied, but did not say a word, but asked someone to bring a grasshopper from thousands of miles away. When Fu Wuniang saw it, she immediately agreed to his proposal.

Without him, Mao Gongzi once said to Fu Wu Niang, no matter when, I am willing to weave a grasshopper for you, because Fu Wu Niang at that time liked this kind of thing very much.

Fu Wuniang had just walked on her front foot, and after a while, Zhou's mother also arrived.

Even if the two janitors are blind, they know that this is the most powerful subordinate next to the mother-in-law of Bai Zhi County. If you don't even have this bit of eyesight, you deserve to get out.

It's just that they are both thinking about the same question in their hearts, what happened tonight, why do people always come to this prison in the middle of the night. And it is obvious that these people only came after Shopkeeper Ye came.

In other words, they all came to see Shopkeeper Ye! It seems that this Ye shopkeeper is not only not shallow, but also has a small face.

Although he thought so in his heart, his face was not obvious, and the clever boy immediately stepped forward and nodded and said, "Hello Mother Zhou, if you need anything, just ask, the little one will do it immediately." ”

Hearing this, Zhou's mother said with a smile: "I have some things to do in there, you help me watch, and no one is allowed to come in until I come out." ”

As he spoke, he took out five taels of silver and said, "You have worked hard in the middle of the night, and when you pay the errand, go to make a pot of wine to warm up." ”

The clever guy quickly took it, and he regained his energy to observe the surrounding environment. They had heard of this Zhou's mother's methods, and she said that she was not allowed to let people in, so she couldn't let them in.

Behind Zhou's mother, she is a master who says the same, even if Bai Zhixian comes, she can only listen to orders, let alone the two of them.

However, although the risk is dangerous, if you want to say that they really made money tonight, this shift is worth it. So both of them thanked the shopkeeper Ye in the prison in their hearts, and thanked him for generating income for the brothers because of his arrival.

Coupled with Fu Wuniang's generosity, the silver they earned tonight was several times that of a whole year's money.

Thinking of the conversation with Mrs. Qin just now, Zhou's mother felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. To be honest, she doesn't hate Shopkeeper Ye.

Although his background is a little cold, and he can't tell the second lady clearly, there has been nothing wrong with him. In the past ten years, he has been loyally doing things for Zhenbao Zhai, in fact, he is doing things for the Gu family.

Background is something that a person can't choose, but Mrs. Qin doesn't seem to care about this, she just blindly hates Shopkeeper Ye.

This time, if he hadn't come up with this idea, I don't know what Madame would have done with Shopkeeper Ye. Forget it, she's a subordinate, and that's all she can help. It's just that if this incident breaks out in the future, whether it is Shopkeeper Ye or Gu Xixi, I am afraid that I will not accept her affection.

Thinking of this, Zhou's mother sighed.

This road is not difficult for Zhou's mother to walk at all, just because she has come more than once. She couldn't remember, but about ten years ago, she came here to bring some arsenic to a woman of some status. It seems that five years ago, she came here to deliver a petition to a young man and support him in suing Qi Yuanwai.

Over the years, she felt more and more that she was getting old faster, and she couldn't remember many things clearly.

When Zhou's mother finally arrived at the cell where the shopkeeper Ye was, she found that he was not sleeping, but sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.

It's good that you don't have to wake him up in such a quiet environment, and it really takes a lot of effort not to alarm others.

Zhou's mother saw the shopkeeper Ye, and the shopkeeper Ye naturally saw Zhou's mother. People came over in the middle of the night, naturally they had something important to say, and they definitely wouldn't come to see him anyway.

It's just that he couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do, so he just stood up and looked through the window, but didn't speak.

He knew in his heart that sometimes listening was more important than expressing opinions.

Shopkeeper Ye didn't say hello or speak, but Zhou's mother didn't think it was a pestle. She knows the character of the shopkeeper Ye, although she is not so easy to communicate, but it is not difficult for such people to get along. As long as you give enough respect, that's enough.

But she came tonight to destroy something good from this point. Thinking of this, Mother Zhou couldn't help but sigh, and then said faintly: "Are you doing this to protect the second lady?" ”

Hearing this, it was so straightforward, Shopkeeper Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing Shopkeeper Ye's surprised expression, Zhou's mother smiled with satisfaction. She actually has a lot of work, similar to Mrs. Qin's life secretary.

Sometimes, when she is in charge of interrogating some little girls, she likes to use this trick. Surprise and surprise often have very good results.

But today, she doesn't even need any effect, she just blindly works against the other party.

"It seems so. As a reader, the story of the toad and the swan, Shopkeeper Ye should have heard it, right? "In order to complete the task given by Mrs. Qin, Mother Zhou really worked hard.

She really had to come to do this, first, she was the most powerful assistant by Mrs. Qin's side, similar to Mrs. Qin's spokesperson. The second is that she is old enough, and it is difficult for Shopkeeper Ye to scold, but she has to constantly endure her verbal violence.

"You ......"

Before Shopkeeper Ye could speak, Zhou's mother said as if without a theme: "I have been by my wife's side for decades, and I am still somewhat decent." However, even because of you, I couldn't sleep peacefully in the middle of the night. My wife and I are both old and old, and we can't afford to be tossed like this. You say why I said that, I don't want to come, but there are some things that don't seem to work. ”

"You don't know yet, for your sake, the second miss has been a little wrong lately. In the afternoon, the second lady is back again. When the lady saw her sad face, she was a little distressed, so she asked her if she needed help, anyway, the family scraped together, sold some ancestral property, sold some of the lady's dowry, and still took out 10 million taels of silver. Who knows, the second lady didn't appreciate it at all, saying that she didn't need Mrs. help, and said that Mrs. ......"

"Okay, Mother Zhou, don't say it, I understand what you and Mrs. mean, and I won't think about anything I shouldn't think about from now on." Shopkeeper Ye impatiently interrupted Zhou's mother's chatter.

Mother Zhou's words seem to be rambling, without theme and logic, but in fact, they are all clearly conveying the same meaning, she and Mrs. Qin both hate him, and hope that he will not be entangled with Gu Xixi in the future.

However, Mother Zhou didn't seem to hear the words of Shopkeeper Ye, she still only cared about herself, and began to talk endlessly.

"If you want to say that you are good readers, I didn't say anything, old woman, you understand? I see, you don't understand at all, otherwise, you wouldn't give up your identity as a scholar to sell hairpin rings. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou's mother seems to hate iron and steel, "Especially what can be done and what can't be done, I don't think you understand at all." To say that I did come here of my own free will tonight, Madame and Second Miss didn't know at all. Do you know how many times the second lady and Mrs. have quarreled for you in the past ten years? Do you know that Mrs. can't sleep for half a night, just worried about you and the second miss? You don't know. ”

"There's no after, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Look at you, what will not be in the future, to say that the present is the most important thing. Although the second lady disagrees, Madame still doesn't want you to stay here for a long time. The lady has been collecting money for the past few days, waiting to take it tomorrow to save you. If you want to say that you are really lucky, although you have earned a lot of silver for Jumbo Zhai, it is far less than 10 million taels, and I have never seen Madame so willing to help a person. ”

"You don't need it, you have the same tone as the second lady, but it's a pity, the shopkeeper Tang won't stop if he can't see the silver."

Suddenly, Zhou's mother covered her stomach and made a painful look. Shopkeeper Ye hurriedly said, "Mother Zhou, what's wrong with you?" Go back and see the doctor. ”

No matter how much Shopkeeper Ye hated Mother Zhou, he now understood that, as she said, it was indeed for him that he came in the middle of the night.

Who knows, Zhou's mother didn't care, but just rubbed her stomach, and it seemed to be more comfortable in a moment.

"This person, when he gets old, he can't do it, and he will be in trouble at every turn. Speaking of which, I also blame my greed, when I got up in the morning, the small kitchen stewed a bowl of blood swallow for Mrs. , but Mrs. felt no appetite after a few sips, so I took it and poured it. I thought it would be a shame to fall. You must know that this is a blood swallow, just such a small bowl, you can't buy it without three or five taels of silver. So, I ate it secretly, but I poured it out without telling my wife. ”

Zhou's mother began to babble some inconsequential words again.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Ye said: "It stands to reason that you won't have a stomachache if you eat bird's nest." Blood swallow is even more nourishing, very suitable for elderly people to eat, Mother Zhou, did you eat the wrong thing to be like this? ”

Mother Zhou was waiting for the words of the shopkeeper Ye.

As soon as Shopkeeper Ye finished speaking, Zhou's mother said without thinking about it: "Now that I think about it, it is indeed caused by eating the wrong thing." Do you think everyone can eat bird's nest? I'll just say that you are young and ignorant. If you change to a noble person like your wife, even if you eat it every day, it's fine. But what kind of identity am I, I'm just a slave. You call me Mother Zhou, and the Gu Mansion calls me Mother Zhou, not because I follow Mrs. Out of the Gu Mansion, I didn't even bother to call Hanako. ”

Glancing at the shopkeeper Ye, Mother Zhou continued: "I was used to eating coarse bran and black noodles when I was a child, but now I am allowed to eat blood swallows, isn't it going to break my stomach?" But it's okay, after suffering this sin, I will remember in the future that I will never eat what I should not eat. Otherwise, my stomach will hurt. ”

I see!

After talking so much nonsense, it turned out to be this meaning, the more the shopkeeper Ye thought about it, the more angry he became, and he still cared about whether she had a stomachache.

Therefore, the shopkeeper Ye said: "Although I, Ye, am now a businessman who is not in the stream, I have also read poetry and books, and I naturally understand what Zhou's mother said." You go back and tell Madame that from now on, I will never touch anything that should not be eaten by me, no, I will not even smell it. ”

Seeing this, Zhou's mother said: "What are you angry about, I haven't been angry after tossing back and forth in the middle of the night, but you are angry." If you don't like to eat bird's nest, forget it, why should I go back to Madame. As I have already said, Madame does not know about this today. I wanted to come and see you and see if you needed help......"

"There is nothing that needs help, Mother Zhou, go back, I can't send you."

Shopkeeper Ye directly issued an eviction order.

Hearing this, Zhou's mother said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry to drive me away. The old body will leave immediately, and this prison is not a rare place. It's just that there is another sentence, but the second lady asked me to bring it to you. ”

Hearing that Gu Xixi had something to say, Shopkeeper Ye stood up straight and listened carefully. To be honest, he wanted to know what Gu Xixi would say to him now.

The second lady said that instead of letting her legs walk so hard, she would rather be the one sitting in the sedan chair. Although the old body didn't understand what it meant, he finally brought the words to it. Anyway, you don't like my old man's verbosity, I'll just leave immediately. By the way, if you can go out, remember to thank Madame, she even sold her dowry at the bottom of the box. ”

After speaking, Zhou's mother left.

Shopkeeper Ye was like a thunderbolt, staggered back a few steps, and sat straight on the bed.

It seems that Mother Zhou came today, what bird's nest metaphor is, and what Mrs. Qin sells dowry jewelry is just a foil, and the main purpose is to say goodbye to him for Gu Xixi.

Shopkeeper Ye's brain was confused, because he really couldn't understand why Gu Xixi was so ruthless?

Although it is impossible to sell the dowry, even Mrs. Qin, who has always been powerful, is helping to make up money, and Lian Fu Wuniang has the courage to come to the prison to confess to him after doing bad things, and threatens to help him get out of the prison, but Gu Xixi does nothing, but sends a subordinate to humiliate him and tell him to break off the relationship?

This is the person I once liked, and this is the person I have been suffering for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Ye smiled, laughed and cried.

He suddenly remembered the conversation between him and Gu Xixi eleven years ago.

"You have to think clearly, I am a shopkeeper with no future, and I can't give you the life and fame you want."

"I don't care about any of this, I just know that it's easy to get priceless treasures, and it's hard to find a lover. Although it is good to sit in a sedan chair, it is actually not so tiring to walk. For your sake, I'd rather walk on my own legs. ”

These words, Shopkeeper Ye believes that no one knows except him and Gu Xixi.

At this moment, Zhou's mother brought a sentence "Instead of letting my legs walk so hard, I would rather be the one who sits in the sedan chair", it is obvious that Gu Xixi wants to tell herself through Zhou's mother's mouth that now she regrets it.

Because of herself, she put the sedan chair and did not sit, and walked hard with her legs.

And now, she is married to Bai Zhixian, and she chooses to sit in a sedan chair.

If at the beginning, Shopkeeper Ye could clearly realize that Zhou's mother was provoking, then at this moment, he has lost his judgment.

At this moment, he was sure in his heart that he must have said this by regretting himself. Even if she was overheard by Zhou's mother, it means that she regrets it.

It's just that when he didn't expect it, there was a Zhou Ying by Mrs. Qin's side, the Zhou Ying who could do almost anything.

What he didn't know was that Zhou Ying had already stolen the contract signed by Yao Wushuang, but he didn't destroy it, but threw it into Youmeizhai and was picked up by Fu Wuniang.

As for the one that Shopkeeper Tang was holding tightly, it was just forged by Mrs. Qin. The list is almost exactly the same as the real one, but the one to one hundred above has become one to two.

And the seal of Zhenbao Zhai is also missing, and there is no way to prove anything.
