Suddenly a disaster came, and the courtyard of the Liu family was gloomy and miserable.

Liu Yun sighed, "It's all my fault, if only I could endure not having a physical collision with him, I wouldn't be falsely accused by him." ”

"You are too naïve, you want to add no excuse to the crime, this kind of person has a heart for you, you can't find an excuse today, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be the same." Pei Baoer drank a large bowl of soup angrily, and put the bowl down again. "No! We can't just coax it like this, let's go to sue the official tomorrow, if He County doesn't dare to take it, let's go to the state capital to sue again. Since Lin Si is pretending to be sick, as long as he is present, won't we expose him on the spot? ”

Liu Yun said worriedly, "I'm afraid it's not so easy, Lin Si is unlikely to be there in person." ”

On the second day, Liu Yun and Pei Baoer went to the county government to complain, and when He County Ling summoned Lin Si with an old face, it was only the rest of the Lin family who came.

He County Linghe is used to the mud, although he knows that the Lin family cannot be easily offended, but because of the transformation of his daughter, he also has a good impression of Pei Baoer, and he can't bear to let the Liu family suffer this grievance. As a result, He Xianling displayed the Tai Chi skills he had practiced for many years as an official in the public court, and treated Liu Yunna as an iron-faced and selfless person, but there was no substantive action. He summoned this and that witness for a while, such as the guy from the painting shop, the owner of the painting shop who did not witness the scene at all, the shop next to the painting shop and others, and then summoned the doctor and servant who treated Lin Si, and asked similar questions back and forth several times, but the verdict could not be reached.

Pei Bao'er breathed a sigh of relief here, but Lin Si was a little puzzled.

"You say, is this county magistrate suggesting that we send silver?" He asked Hao Er to be a staff officer, but the latter said: "Didn't they all say, if our eldest brother sneezes, this Taixing County will be shaken three times?" The county magistrate just wants to collect cash, and he doesn't dare to accept our family. ”

Lin Si nodded, "That's right, I must be waiting for the Liu family to send money." ”

Hao Er said again, "Their dilapidated portal is very shabby, where is this money!" The county magistrate is really confused, so we don't have to rush, just wait for the good news. ”

This sentence was said to Lin Si's heart, and he was very satisfied with his newly befriended godbrother. Although it was said that his family had suffered a disaster and had recently defected from the county town in the south, he had done something for the master in the yamen before, and this brain was flexible!

At this time, Pei Baoer also looked at the piggy bank at home and was worried.

After more than a year of frugality, plus the extra money earned in the past few months, he will only save three or four taels of silver, which is a world of difference from the five hundred taels required by the Lin family. Although He County's order did not obviously favor Lin Si, he did not mean to clear Liu Yun's grievances, I am afraid that this case will have to be solved with some blood in the end. As for letting Liu Yun sell himself into the Lin family, this option was not in her consideration at all.

But this bleeding can't really press Lin Si's lion's big mouth, he is not injured in the first place, even if he really breaks his leg, find a bruising doctor to heal the injury, use the best medicine, and the cost of three months will be over at most a few dozen taels. Even so, their savings are still far away from dozens of taels!

Just when she was at a loss, Sister-in-law Chen next door came over to tell her a great news.

"Is there a royal history who wants to come to our county? Is it the kind that is responsible for inspecting the states and counties and supervising the administration of local officials? Pei Baoer was overjoyed, and she was a little skeptical that she was hallucinating. How can it be so coincidental, as soon as something happened to her family, she came to inspect the imperial history, she has lived in Taixing County for a year and has never seen a bigger official than the county order.

The sister-in-law of the Chen family didn't understand those words, but yesterday her brother-in-law Chen Shu mentioned it at the dinner table, and the meaning of the words was to ask her to come over and help spread the word. Chen Shu was a small official in the county government, probably in charge of the clerical work, so he got the news.

"I've told you the news, the opportunity is right in front of you, and it's up to you whether you can grasp it."

patted Pei Bao'er's hand, the sister-in-law of the Chen family took a deep look at her little face, turned around and left the Liu family's courtyard, but there was another thing in her heart.

If Liu Yunzhen can't be saved, this Pei Niangzi is determined to remarry, but with a child, and the homeless little girl who picked it up, I'm afraid it will be difficult. If you don't have these two little oil bottles, it's good to have your own brother-in-law. Pei Niangzi has a good appearance, except for the marks on her face, she dares to say that there is no other woman in the entire Taixing County who can compare to her. In addition, Pei Niangzi is capable, and she seems to have a friendship with the two adult families of the county and the county order, which is not something that ordinary women can do.

As for his own brother-in-law, although he has a clerical job, he is a tasteless official, and it is impossible to find a young lady from an official family, and he can only find a daughter-in-law in an ordinary small household. She is not blind, the two neighbors look up and don't look down, the little uncle has met people at the door several times, the words are about to stutter, his face is as red as a monkey's buttocks, and every time he hears Pei Niangzi teach the little inkstone a lesson across the courtyard wall, he will also stupidly walk to the side of his own courtyard wall for a while. If it weren't for the unrequited lover's family, her name would be written upside down!

It's a pity that looking at Pei Niangzi's appearance, it is impossible for eighty percent to leave the child and remarry. She still has no chance with her brother-in-law!

Pei Baoer didn't know that the sister-in-law of the Chen family had made up so much in her brain, and now her mind was full of the idea of "imperial history = opportunity to seek revenge", racking her brains to recall the costume TV series she had watched, how did the sufferers in it cry out for injustice?

She came to the city gate every day and waited, hoping to see the bright and dazzling Qincha and other signs in the TV series, but she waited for three days in a row, and she didn't even wait for a shadow.

During this period, He Xianling hung up the "no war" card, saying that he occasionally felt cold, was sick in bed, and couldn't get up.

Pei Baoer vaguely guessed that most of the news of this imperial history was true, and it was probably revealed by He County's order, because he didn't want to offend the Lin family, so he wanted to let himself cry out to the imperial history who came to inspect. When the time comes, Yu Shi will directly take action to deal with Lin Si, and it will not be the responsibility of his county order.

She took a sip of this old fritter He County Order angrily in her heart, and had some faint resentment towards the third girl Chen who caused the incident at the beginning, so that when the mother-in-law of the Chen family came to inform her of the marriage date, Pei Baoer refused with a smile. She is not a small-bellied chicken intestine, but she still has a public case in her family, and most ordinary people will feel unlucky, not to mention Miss Chen San, who is about to carry out major events in her life?

Her reason for refusing was reasonable, but unexpectedly, after the Chen family's mother-in-law brought the message back, less than an hour, Miss Chen San actually brought someone to Osmanthus Lane in person.

"I didn't know that such a big thing happened, it was all because of me, and it harmed your family." Miss Chen's eyes were slightly red, and her sincere attitude of apologizing as soon as she came up made Pei Baoer completely abandon her previous resentment, and she had to sigh that her luck was too bad.

She flashed in her spirit, luck?

Didn't the sloppy Taoist say that he would be haunted by bad luck a few days ago, and he was actually right by him? Could it be that the Taoist really has some ability? Maybe you should go to him and ask, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and it is not good to say that a blind cat can really meet a dead mouse!

Pei Bao'er was wandering, but suddenly heard Miss Chen San say something about the Lin family, and she came back to her senses.

It turned out that Miss Chen San had a daughter of her cousin's family, who was three or four years older than her, and she was also a little beautiful, and she was carried into the Lin family by a small sedan chair last year and became Lin Hu's aunt. Although the Lin family has a lot of wealth and seems to have some backers, the good daughter is still somewhat ashamed of being sent to be a concubine, so Miss Chen San has always avoided talking about this cousin in front of people.

This time, because she caused the Liu family to suffer such a catastrophe, she was uneasy, thought about it, and felt that the cousin might be able to help, so she hurriedly came to Pei Bao'er to talk about it.

Pei Bao'er frowned and thought about it, Lin Hu was the brother of the regent's concubine, Lin Si was Lin Hu's cousin, and Aunt Chen was just a concubine. It is said that brothers are like siblings and women are like clothes, whether this Aunt Chen can help or not, even so, she still sincerely thanked Miss Chen San.

Maybe the style of the merchant girls is more direct and tough, and Miss Chen San is also a simple person, so she agreed with Pei Bao'er here, and immediately asked her family to go to Lin's house to send a message, and invited Aunt Chen to come over under the pretext of reminiscing about the old sisters before marriage.

Aunt Chen's appearance is somewhat similar to Miss Chen's third, especially the slightly raised peach blossom eyes, which are very charming. It's just that the makeup powder on the face is a little heavy, and some of it is dead and white. Coupled with a pair of thin willow eyebrows, it looks a little more sharp when raising eyebrows.

After listening to the reason, Aunt Chen's laughter became more and more sarcastic, and she stroked the hairpin on her head, revealing the osmanthus twisted bracelet on her wrist just right.

"Yo~ I think the third girl misses my cousin, please come over for tea, it turns out that there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" Her eyes are very affectionate, and even when she rolls her eyes, she has a hint of softness.

Miss Chen San was a little embarrassed, but she still smiled and continued to beg her.

"Good cousin, you don't remember the villain, just help me this time. I used to be ignorant, but I've changed it all in the future, okay? ”

Pei Baoer sat aside and listened silently for a few back and forth, and finally guessed that the relationship between the two sisters was probably not very good. In other words, it was good in the past, but since this Aunt Chen became Aunt Chen, Miss Chen San is not very happy to associate with her. Therefore, Aunt Chen was also unhappy, and felt that Miss Chen looked down on her to be a concubine.

Her eyes drifted back and forth on Aunt Chen's face a few times, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "Auntie, there is a new style of makeup powder here in the slave family, and the concealing effect is very good." Well, the three girls tried it too. Facing Aunt Chen's suspicious gaze, she continued to explain stubbornly: "Concealer is to cover the marks on the skin, or small moles, rashes and other imperfections. If my aunt and grandmother are interested......"

Pei Baoer originally wanted to show her friendliness, and then use her cosmetics to "bribe" this Aunt Chen, but she didn't want the other party to suddenly be angry, so she threw down the teacup and turned around and walked out of the Chen family.

She and Miss Chen San looked at each other.

"This ......" Pei Bao'er felt that she didn't like what she said. Perhaps, Aunt Chen feels that she is implying that her skin is not fair enough, so she needs a concealer foundation?

Miss Chen San was also full of shame, she felt that it was her repeated neglect of her cousin and her invitation over the past year that led to such a consequence.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Pei, my eldest sister has a bit of a straight temperament, I'm afraid she won't be able to help you this time. Otherwise, if the county magistrate really judges your family to lose the lawsuit, how much silver will be paid to the Lin family, and I will pay half of it, how about it? ”

Pei Baoer was slightly surprised, and then moved.

She pinched the little hand that Miss Chen had come up and said comfortingly, "Thank you for your kindness." Still, let's hope we win. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the dowry money for the girl going out will be posted to me. ”

Pei Baoer said goodbye to the Chen family and stood blankly on the street for a while, thinking that she would not see the sloppy Taoist priest all the way today, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's a coincidence, it's like a kraft candy when you don't want it, and you can't be biased against her when you need it.

In the past few days, because she has been running around, she has asked for leave in the shop, and after thinking about it, she should go to the city gate and wait. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to meet the legendary Goshi-sama.

It's just that luck doesn't seem to be good today.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were also preparing to close the city gate, Pei Baoer was ready to go home.

At this time, she heard the sound of horses' hooves and the creaking of wheels behind her, and she couldn't help but feel happy. She was turning her head to look over when she heard someone shouting "Be careful!" What else is saying is this: "Is this horse crazy?" At the same time, the sound of the carriage was getting closer.

She fixed her eyes and saw that the inconspicuous-looking carriage was staggering towards her. The horses in the front covers of the car couldn't stop neighing, as if they had been stimulated by something.

Pei Bao'er reflexively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the frontal impact of the carriage.

She was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but found that her sleeve was caught in some small part of the carriage, and she fell backwards, and there was a tendency to drag her wildly.

"Shhhh

By the time the crazy horse was forcibly tamed and stopped, Pei Baoer had already been taken and rolled backwards twice, and a large piece of his sleeve was torn, revealing a small jade-like lotus root, with a few obvious abrasions and red marks on it, and his hair was messy, and the whole person was embarrassed.

The happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe came to his heart, and the pressure caused by Liu Yun's disaster seemed to have found an outlet these days.

Pei Baoer couldn't hold back for a while, and tears began to flow.

As she wiped her tears, she stood up with the carriage on her feet, and looked at the thick-eyed young man who had forcibly jumped over from another horse and tamed the Crazy Horse, as if he did not seem to be in a good way. There were other guards crowding over, seven or eight in total. If you can bring so many people when you go out, it seems that you are either rich or expensive.

Pei Baoer could only sigh that she was unlucky, and she didn't dare to mention the claim again, so she just went back to rub some medicinal oil later.

"Master, the horses have been subdued. Are you hurt? ”

A deep male voice came from inside the carriage, indicating that he was fine.

Another white-faced bearded attendant glanced at Pei Bao'er twice, turned over and dismounted, untied his purse from his waist, took out two pieces of broken silver and handed them to her, and said softly that he couldn't help it.

Pei Baoer took it with a complicated mind, blessed her body, turned her head and walked more than a dozen steps, but suddenly blessed her heart-

Couldn't this be the Mishi she's been waiting for?

There are so many attendants, and the pomp is not small, isn't it!

She couldn't wait to slap herself in the mouth, why didn't she think of it just now!

Pei Bao'er hurriedly rushed to the carriage that had just started, she grabbed the wheel, and said eagerly: "Dare to ask if the car is Lord Yushi who came to my Taixing County to inspect?" The little woman has a grievance to sue! ”

The car stopped, and there was silence.

She looked at the guards on the horse with a strange look in their seriousness, and felt a little apprehensive, could she have guessed wrong? However, in Taixing County, a place where birds don't lay eggs, can there be any big people in addition to the imperial history?
