.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!

At the same time, the Guo family was not very calm.

The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Guo family were stunned by the sudden windfall at that time, and regretted it when they woke up.

Guo Laiwang's mother-in-law said to Guo Laohan: "Dad, let's ask the Liu family for a thousand taels of silver, and the little cheap hooves of the Liu family agreed without blinking their eyes, we should ask for more." ”

"The eldest daughter-in-law is right, old man, when they come and let us go to the yamen, you have to ask for some silver, otherwise we won't go." Mrs. Guo also agreed.

Guo Laohan glared at the stupid mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and scolded: "Stupid woman who eats and grows flesh but not brains, I don't know how many families there are in the Liu family, and it is not worth five hundred taels of silver to sell them all, and we want one thousand taels is already the limit, no matter what Liu Boyu does, let you draw water with a bamboo basket, and you won't be able to catch a single copper." ”

Guo Laiwang's mother-in-law immediately changed her face, and said hesitantly: "No, since that little cheap hoof is willing to take a thousand taels to beg us, don't you want to spend another thousand taels." ”

Guo Laohan snorted and said coldly: "If you don't believe it, just try it, that girl is more powerful than any man in the Liu family, and she is ruthless, I can't be wrong with my eyes." ”

Mrs. Guo believed in Mr. Guo the most, so she said to Mrs. Guo Laiwang: "Eldest daughter-in-law, let's listen to your father." Laiwang is dead anyway, the county master just cut off Liu Boyu's brain, Laiwang can't survive, it's better to let the Liu family pay the money out of our family to live a good life, you can raise a few children with peace of mind. When the money is in hand, I will make you some silk clothes to wear, and buy some good jewelry to wear. ”

Guo Laiwang's mother-in-law murmured.

Guo Laohan glanced at Mrs. Guo appreciatively and stopped talking.

Guo Laiwang gave birth to three sons in two, and the youngest one was only six years old. Guo Laiwang's mother-in-law is only thirty years old, if she can't stand the loneliness and remarry, who will care about the three little ones.

Besides, Liu Bowen and his son went to the county government to ask for a meeting with the county lord.

Liu Boyu's case was Guo Laiwang's murder before, and he could actually be sentenced lightly, but the incident occurred during the critical period of the promotion of the magistrate, and the magistrate was angry, so he sentenced him to the heaviest punishment.

When the father and son of the Liu family arrived in the county seat, it was not early, and the magistrate thought that they were here to entangle, so he deduced that he was busy with official business and avoided it.

Liu Bowen and Liu Lanqing couldn't, so they had to find a small inn to live in, and went to the county government to wait at the gate early the next morning, and asked the county magistrate to meet again.

After all, the other party is two talents, and the magistrate is not too offended, so he reluctantly met with the father and son of the Liu family.

Hearing the intention, the magistrate only agreed to postpone the case file for three days before sending it away, because there was an official document to be sent to Fucheng three days later.

The situation was urgent, and the father and son immediately rushed back to Baishui Village.

"Does this kid in the county have itchy skin and owe it to clean up, where can he get a thousand taels of silver in three days. No, I have to go to the magistrate and say. Mrs. Shi roared angrily and slapped the Liu family's table again.

She had heard Shi Lei talk about the Guo family's request for 1,000 taels of silver last night, and she and Shi Lei ran to Liu's house after breakfast.

The Liu family was silent, and the three days were too tight.

Shi Lei pulled Mrs. Shi's clothes and whispered in Mrs. Shi's ear: "Grandmother, don't you have any silver by your side?" ”

Mrs. Shi was dumbfounded, why didn't she usually think to ask her son for more silver to put beside her, and whispered embarrassedly: "No, grandmother, I don't usually spend much silver, I haven't asked your father for it, do you have it?" ”

"It's not much, my father is afraid that I will spend money indiscriminately, and I will give less silver."

The grandfather and grandson were biting their ears at this time, and the old man Liu said to Liu Lanqing: "Qing Yanzi, go and invite the patriarch to come." ”

Liu Lanqing answered.

Liu Qingyan frowned and thought about how to raise a thousand taels of silver in three days.

After a while, Patriarch Liu followed Liu Lanqing, and when he heard Old Man Liu say that he wanted to sell the land, he said worriedly: "Brother Dehui, if your family sells all the fields, how will you live next year." ”

"If the old woman knew that the third child was sentenced to ten years of hard labor, it is estimated that the person will be gone soon, and life will not be able to go on." Old man Liu lowered his eyes and removed the embarrassment in his eyes.

Patriarch Liu hurriedly said: "It's not enough to sell the field." ”

Old Man Liu closed his eyes, "There are still cattle on the dry land, so it's really impossible to sell the house and grain." ”

"This can't be helped, it's going to get cold before the eyes of the sky, the house and food are all sold, how can your family survive the winter. I'm going to gather my people to discuss, and let's get together and see how much we can come up with. Patriarch Liu said.

"It's already troublesome to the clan, how can you be embarrassed to add trouble to the clansmen, let's solve this matter ourselves." Old man Liu refused.

"Didn't your family also take out the recipe of salted duck eggs to make money for everyone, you can't forget your roots, you have to have a conscience, I'm going to go to the clan to raise money." After Patriarch Liu finished speaking, he walked out quickly.

Xie Shi suddenly said: "Dad, I'll go back to my parents' house to borrow some too." ”

Old Man Liu hesitated for a moment and said: "Your mother's family is not rich, Dawu will get married after the New Year, and our family will not be able to pay the silver before the New Year." ”

"Dad, you forgot the money my mother's family made from bamboo shoots this year, and it doesn't matter if the money is moved."

As soon as Xie finished speaking, a flash of inspiration flashed, and something jumped out of Liu Qingyan's mind.

Dried bamboo shoots, Ruyi Building.

Yes, go to Ruyi Building!

"That's okay, boss, you accompany your daughter-in-law on a trip, go and come back quickly." Old Man Liu instructed Liu Bowen.

"Alright, let's go."

Liu Bowen got up and was about to walk with Xie, but was stopped by Liu Qingyan.

"Dad, mother, you don't have to go to your grandfather's house, I have thought of a way."

Liu Bowen and Xie Shi turned their heads and looked at Liu Qingyan in surprise.

"I'm going to the city and go to Ruyi Tower." Liu Qingyan said calmly.

Now everyone is looking at her.

"Little Pepper, Ruyi Building is a restaurant for eating, what are you going to do there?" Shi Lei was the first to ask.

Liu Qingyan smiled and said: "Go and cook, the restaurant should accept some novel dishes, I have some recipes that they should be interested in." ”

Selling vegetables?

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other suspiciously, what kind of recipe could be sold for a thousand taels of silver.

"Yan girl, can your recipe be sold for a thousand taels of silver?" Old Man Liu asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

"If one doesn't work, there will be ten, and if it doesn't work, there will always be enough." After Liu Qingyan finished speaking lightly, she turned her head to Shi Lei and said, "You know that Ruyi Building is a restaurant, so you should have been there." ”

Shi Lei nodded and said, "I've been with my father." ”

Liu Qingyan looked at him, "Take me there, you have a horse." ”

"Okay." Shi Lei agreed without hesitation.

"You go back and lead the horse, I'll prepare some things, and we'll meet at the entrance of the village in a while."

"Okay."

Shi Lei's words fell, and people had begun to walk out, not dragging mud and water at all.

Everyone was stunned, and their minds didn't turn a corner for a while.

When they fully reacted, something seemed to be too late.

Liu Qingyan quickly went to the stove room, scooped out half of the small jar of bean paste, packed it in a clay pot, covered it with a lid, and then wrapped it in a furoshi and strode towards the entrance of the village.

At the entrance of the village, Shi Lei happened to lead the horse.

Riding in pairs, Liu Qingyan is a modern person with mature thinking, and she doesn't feel anything wrong at this time.

And Shi Lei hugged the girl he liked in his arms, and he couldn't ask for it.

The few people in the room couldn't sit still, like ants on a hot pot, but Mrs. Shi looked calm and happy in her heart.

The sweaty horse galloped on the road, the scenery on both sides quietly retreated, the hair and headband fluttered in the wind, and the cold hair would blow to the face from time to time. The curvature of Shi Lei's thin lips rose, and he couldn't help but circle the person in his arms tighter and tighter, and his chin was close to the neck of the person in front of him, sniffing the lilac smell on her body.

Never in the past years had anyone of the opposite sex been so close to him, except for his grandmother, and the women who had chased him had only pulled him by the sleeve.

He didn't know how to describe the indescribable feeling at this moment, he just wanted to hug the girl in his arms that was as clear as a lilac knot, and never let go of it in this life.

Liu Qingyan also felt something strange behind her, her body was a little stiff, her breathing was close to her ears, moist and warm, blowing her face a little itchy, and she unconsciously climbed a layer of faint pink.

The breath on his body is faint and wide, it is a kind of smell of flowing water, slightly astringent and clean, if you are not close to it, you can't smell it at all.

I don't know what to do, and I go deep.

No one in the world is willing to fall silent, and this breath silently and unstoppably imprints the body, spirit, and soul in the depths of the soul, and can never be separated again.

Feeling the hazy warmth of the person behind him, his body gradually relaxed, but he felt more tired.

She shrunk quietly in his arms, and although the man behind her was young, his chest was incomparably solid and broad, and this moment was enough for her to rely on and reassure her.

Ruyi Building, one of the properties under the name of the Xiao family, the richest man in Jiangnan.

In addition to restaurants, the industries under the name of the Xiao family also include cloth, jewelry, tea, and porcelain, which are operated and sold by the Xiao family firm.

The Ruyi Building in Yuxi County is only the most ordinary restaurant under the name of the Xiao family, which is divided into three floors, the first floor is the place where ordinary guests consume, the second floor is a private room, and the third floor is a private room for receiving top VIPs.

Shi Lei reined in the horse in front of Ruyi Building, dismounted first, and then took Liu Qingyan off the horse.

Liu Qingyan stretched out her hand and gently stroked the neck of Treadxue, which was a little wet, caused by running and sweating, twisted her fingers, raised it to see, her head was covered with a layer of red, and her heart suddenly felt like she had been pricked by a needle.

There is only one kind of horse in the world that sweats red, and that is the world-famous sweat horse, and the sweat horse is a treasure that even royalty members have to compete for. Shi Lei will have such a BMW, what is his identity, and what is his father's identity?

Liu Qingyan looked at Shi Lei with a very complicated mood, and had thousands of questions in her heart, but this was not the time to ask, because the guy at the door of Ruyi Building had already come up and picked up the horse, as if he was quite familiar with Shi Lei.

At this moment, when it is not time to eat, although there is a lot of people in front of the door, the store is quite deserted, and the guys are idle lying on the table and chatting.

Liu Qingyan stood in front of the gate of Ruyi Building, looking up at the plaque carved with delicate patterns, the antique connotation on it was not what those antique restaurants could have in the previous life standing between the reinforced concrete buildings.
