Worried that Pei Xuanqing would come back to her senses for a while and block the city gate to prevent her from going out, she hurriedly hired an ox cart in the city to leave the county seat.

got out of the car and entered the village, and his heart was extremely calm on the surface, and he greeted people with a smile, but when he arrived at the courtyard, Qu Xiaomo ran in with his skirt and legs, shouting as he ran: "Big shopkeeper, it's a big deal, I'm in big trouble, you have to save me!" ”

Jin Zhenyuan, who was looking at the newly sent account book from his subordinates in the house, frowned when he heard it, and raised his eyes to see that Qu Xiaomo had already rushed to him, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" ”

"Big shopkeeper, I stabbed Pei Xuanqing's kid." Qu Xiaomo said that she regretted it a little, but it was also a fleeting thought, if it was still a scene, she would still pull out the hairpin and stab people.

"The youngest son of the Pei family?" Jin Zhen asked

"Yes." She still heard the name Pei Xuanqing when Jin Yu was discussing things with Jin Shisan, Qu Xiaomo said while putting down the basket: "Just now I bought something and was about to leave, but I was knocked unconscious from behind, and I woke up halfway, and then those three people carried me to Pei Xuanqing and Zhou Mei. ”

After saying this, he hesitated for a long time, and when he saw Jin Zhen's brows twisted deeper, he said: "He touched me, so I couldn't help but pull out the hairpin and stab him in the neck, and took the opportunity to run out." ”

Jin Yu looked her up and down when she heard this, only to see that although her clothes were a little gray but not much, the bun was not messy at all, but the hairpin between the hair was slightly different, originally they were all butterfly love flowers, but the one worn out today is a double butterfly, one large and one small, and now this one is a single butterfly, but because the hairpin in front has a butterfly that is smaller, this one really can't see the difference if you don't look closely.

"Don't get in the way, if you stab it, you can stab it, I'm afraid he won't have time to come to you for revenge after today." Jin Yu slowly reopened the account book in his hand

These words made Qu Xiaomo a little confused, and he couldn't help but ask cautiously: "The big shopkeeper wants to deal with Pei Xuanqing?" ”

"No, it's the Pei family." Jin Zhen was in a rare good mood to explain to her

Qu Xiaomo glared at the big eyes and swallowed his saliva, and said with some concern: "Big shopkeeper, the surname Pei has Prince An as the backstage, let's move them... Not quite right! ”

In this era of the supremacy of imperial power, it is not good to provoke the relatives of the emperor! She just said what happened to her today so anxiously, just to run away while they were not in a hurry to find trouble, who knew that this person's identity as a businessman was inclined to provoke the powerful with an egg hitting a stone.

Jin Zhen didn't pay attention to her anymore, just looked at the ledger in his hand and was silent.

Helpless, Qu Xiaomo had to take the basket into the kitchen, she was a part-time worker, how could she persuade the boss, just thinking about saving up some silver a little now, so that the future would not be too sad.

The next day, Qu Xiaomo was worried about a day, just for fear that Pei Xuanqing would bring someone into the spring to find her trouble, but three days have passed, and there is still no movement of Pei Xuanqing, and she went out to inquire about Zhou Mei's whereabouts, and many people also said that they had not seen her in the past few days.

Qu Xiaomo went home and looked for the golden sting, and said, "The big shopkeeper, Zhou Mei seems to be gone." ”

It is naturally impossible for her to stay out overnight without returning home for an unmarried girl's family, and in this era, if you don't go home before dark, you will be poked in the back by many people, and which man will be discussed behind you if you take a step or two closer, so this week Mei is not quite right!

Jin Zhen, who was busy writing a letter in the room, just raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her, continued to hold the pen and write, stopped writing after a while, picked up the letter and dried the envelope that was folded and put on the side, printed with wax, and then opened his mouth and said to the guards outside: "Come in, hand it to Jin Er." ”

I saw a guard quietly appear in the corner of the house like a ghost, walked over and knelt down on one knee to take the envelope, and then quietly disappeared, making Qu Xiaomo stunned for a moment, obviously feeling that this guard was different from the previous guard.

But this is not the time to discuss this, Qu Xiaomo repeated to Jin Yu again: "Big shopkeeper, Zhou Mei seems to have not returned to the village since that day. ”

Jin Zhen raised his eyes and looked at her coldly: "What does it have to do with me whether she returns to the village or not." ”

It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me~ Qu Xiaomo really wanted to pick up this person's ears and roar, but even after getting along for so long, he still didn't have the courage, so he only took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and questions in his stomach, and said again: "It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with the small one!" The little one is the last person to see her! ”

Jin Zhen glanced at her: "Can't you think of something good?" What if she eloped with Pei Xuanqing and lived happily together? ”

Qu Xiaomo sighed twice, with a look of disbelief: "This is not a fairy tale of love between a princess and a prince, and besides, I am not a three-year-old child anymore, who believes it!" ”

Although I don't know what the prince's fairy tale is, the half of the sentence behind Jin Zhen understands it, but he just smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, she's fine, I'm afraid Pei Xuanqing will come to this village to take a concubine in a few days." ”

"What?" Qu Xiaomo was surprised: "Who is it?" "Zhou Mei? Impossible! Isn't she already married, if she wants to be accepted as a concubine, the Zhou family will have no face in the village.

"You'll find out in two days." Jin Yu deliberately bought Guanzi, Qu Xiaomo was curious to death, but he didn't say anything no matter how he heard it, so he had to unwillingly drop the curtain and leave the house.

Jin Shisan, who was guarding the door outside, held the dog's tail grass on the side of the road in his mouth, held his sword and hugged his chest with both hands, and smiled at her: "Yo~ I can't see it, I haven't seen you for a while, but your courage has increased a lot!" Even the master dared to shake his face. ”

"Would you like to have a hot meal tonight?" Qu Xiaomo tilted his head and glanced at him

Jin Shisan immediately put on a sycophantic face and said, "Think about it, it's hard work." ”

Qu Xiaomo glared at him, sat on the threshold with his chest crossed and asked, "What about eighteen?" "It's been like this for so long, and she really hasn't heard a little bit of news about the coffin face.

Jin Yu put the sword aside, sat down with her, and sighed, "I'm injured, I'm raising it." ”

You don't have to think about it to know how much they paid to escape from the black-clothed man in the woods at the beginning, listening to the words that Thirteen occasionally mentioned, I knew that only the four of them and the other two guards escaped from the outside, but they were all seriously injured to varying degrees, so he was lucky, and now they have almost recovered after more than a month.

Qu Xiaomo didn't know what to say for a while, but looked at the sky, the sun was already hanging on the mountain, so he got up and went into the house and said, "I'll go wash the pot and cook the rice first." ”

Jin 13 responded, continued to squat on the threshold, looked at the mountains covered with the setting sun outside, and only after a while turned his head to look at his own master behind the door curtain, he found that the master was more popular than before, maybe he had been with this Qu Xiaomo for a long time during this time, I have to say that this kid sometimes really comes to trouble.

Two days later, as Jin Yu said, Pei Xuanqing came to the village to take a concubine, and he didn't come to discuss with the Zhou family, but hugged Zhou Mei's small waist, and the two of them came in a luxurious carriage dressed in gorgeous clothes, but he was wrapped in a white cloth around his neck.

And Zhou Mei is dressed in goose yellow silk embroidered with big peonies, the silk and materials are extremely difficult for ordinary people to get, the face is covered with fat powder, and a set of golden heads on her head makes the villagers squint, but this dress really adds a lot of beauty to her.

Qu Xiaomo also listened to Aunt Fang, who was watching after she came back, and heard that after Pei Xuanqing came back with Zhou Mei, she immediately asked people to invite the man's house, Zhou Mei's fiancé was sneered at by the two and didn't want to agree to withdraw from the marriage, and was beaten by Pei Xuanqing's slaves, and heard that the aunt said that two ribs were broken, so he was directly hired in an ox cart to carry him into the city.

The dowry that was sent at the beginning was also converted into silver and paid off on the spot, but despite this, the people in the village still looked down on that Zhou Mei, a girl who already had a marriage contract turned out to be unclean, but fooled around with other men behind her fiancé's back, and was broken, and was willing to become the concubine.

After that day, Zhou Mei went to the capital with Pei Xuanqing, and the Zhou family was not embarrassed to invite the people in the village to have a meal, but Zhou's sister-in-law was a different matter, wearing the gold bracelet and golden hairpin brought by Zhou Mei all day long, and wearing those dirt-resistant fabrics, the whole thing really looked a bit like the old lady in the mansion.

But Zhou's sister-in-law is not ashamed, but the people in the village dare not walk in with her, the Zhou family has been stinked by this Zhou Mei, and everyone knows that there are no one or two girls in any family, and they will marry in the future.

Sister-in-law Zhou saw that the people in the village were no longer birding themselves, so she was also lacking in interest, and turned to go to the county seat twice in three days, which was more diligent than Qu Xiaomo, who often had to buy rice and sell grain, and every time she went empty-handed, she would bring back a little something.

Although the people in the village are also envious, but for the sake of their own girl's future, they naturally avoid the Zhou family, and at this time it is busy farming, Zhou Laohan licked his face and called the village people to help as in previous years, but he didn't expect that everyone was busy with something at hand, and no more than three people in the village went.

And among these three people, there are Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang, because they have no children, so they don't have a big impact, and they are all villagers who have been in the countryside for decades, so they went, and the other is Zhou Laohan's own brother, the daughter-in-law of the original family was also reluctant to let him come, but after all, it was his own eldest brother, and there was no big grudge, so he came.

Looking at such a big gap from previous years, not only Zhou Laohan shook his head, but even his elderly parents only frowned and said: Create evil~

But Zhou's sister-in-law didn't think so, she went to the county seat again, estimated that she was begging for a few taels of silver with her frown, so she spent money to invite people from other villages to help clean up, and for two days she was still outside her yard and scolded Huai for scolding the people in the village for not being kind and losing her conscience.

Everyone listened silently like this, and no one choked with her.
