The young man's first confession to the opposite sex was blocked by such a far-fetched reason, and Shi Lei, who has always been as confident as him, couldn't help but be frustrated, but he obviously captured his affection for himself from her words. So, he asked very unwillingly: "We are only four years apart, how can it be inappropriate?" ”

Four-year-old? Is it good to be fourteen years old?

The baby is bitter, but he can't say it.

Liu Qingyan pursed her lips and was silent.

Shi Lei's eyes were full of resentment, and he was eagerly waiting for an answer.

"The custom of our Canglan Dynasty is that men can marry at the age of sixteen, and it is too late to marry at the age of eighteen, and I am only twelve this year, and when I am sixteen, you are already twenty, and the elders in your family will not let you wait until so late to get married." Liu Qingyan gritted her teeth and said.

"So you're worried about this." Shi Lei smiled, and then said: "How can we people in the rivers and lakes care about such secular rules, my grandfather and father are relatives in their twenties, don't say that waiting for me to be twenty is to wait for you to be twenty years old." ”

Liu Qingyan was speechless for a while, pondered for a while, and said: "There are so many girls chasing you, it's too disturbing to watch." (Doesn't this show that you are jealous)

"They're chasing them, but I'm just chasing you."

"The man who marries me in the future can only marry me in this life, and he must not have the idea of taking a concubine to ask for a little wife."

"Our Shi family ancestors have no precedent for taking concubines for generations, my mother has passed away for many years, and my father has not even married a stepfamily, and taking concubines is even more nonsense."

"I don't have a figure, and I don't look beautiful, what do you like about me?"

Shi Lei touched his chin and whispered: "I don't know what I like about you, alas, anyway, I won't want to run away when I'm with you." ”

…….

After the question was asked, there was a boundless silence, except for the sound of the soup boiling on the tandoor.

Xie Shi hurriedly entered from outside, "Yan'er, can the medicine be boiled?" Your grandmother woke up. ”

"Oh, good...... All right. Liu Qingyan stood up in a little panic, hanging her head like a primary school student who was caught by her parents in early love.

Xie Shi didn't look at her, and took the bowl out of the cupboard to pour the medicine.

"Mother, this is Shi Lei, the grandson of Granny Shi."

Liu Qingyan took advantage of Xie's inattention and glared at Shi Lei fiercely.

Shi Lei pretended not to see it, and respectfully Xie Shi greeted the juniors, "Good aunt." ”

Liu Qingyan was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth.

Xie Shi glanced at Shi Lei and said with a smile: "You are the Shi Lei who rescued this girl in the mountains last time, and you are really talented." It's just that the family is in such a mess, and my aunt can't treat you well, it's really rude. ”

"Auntie is polite, don't worry."

Xie Shi didn't say much, glanced at Liu Qingyan, poured the medicine into the bowl and left.

Liu Qingyan stomped her feet and hurriedly followed.

Shi Lei stood stunned for a while, a shallow smile spread from his lips, and he walked out of the stove room to the hall to watch the carpenter work and wait for Mrs. Shi.

After a while, Mrs. Shi came out, and the grandparents and grandchildren went home together.

I was speechless all the way, and when I entered the house, Mrs. Shi asked, "What did the little girl say?" ”

A light red appeared on Shi Lei's face, but he didn't say a word.

Mrs. Shi understood and didn't ask any more.

Shi Lei was no longer in a hurry to return to the city, and went to find a craftsman to build a stable in the courtyard, making plans for a long stay.

The second girl of the Liu family married a small official in the city as his wife, although the city official was also under the jurisdiction of the yamen, but he was not very well informed about the criminal case in the county ya, so Liu Boyu's public murder only reached the ears of the second girl of the Liu family many days later.

Such a big event happened in her mother's family, where did the second girl care about her mother-in-law's face, and immediately hired a Qingpeng carriage to return to Baishui Village.

The second girl is the same age as Xie's, because she has given birth to four babies, her figure is plumper than Xie's, but her complexion is white, and she looks two years younger.

The second girl inherited Mrs. Liu's gentle temperament, because she knew books and etiquette, but she was a little more resilient than the weak Mrs. Liu.

After entering the door, he hugged Mrs. Liu and cried for a while, then pulled out the hairpin on his head and the silver bracelet on his wrist and handed it to Xie Shi and said: "There are a few taels of broken silver in the purse, which is my private money, and the jewelry is also taken as an emergency first, and I will think about it when I go back." It was getting cold, and one had to add two clothes for the winter. ”

Xie hurriedly excused himself and said: "Your life at home is not easy, you have given it to us, and your mother-in-law has to count you down and show you her face." ”

The second girl snorted coldly and said: "Hengzhu has not shown me a lot of face over the years, and I am not happy to help my mother if something so big happens." As long as a man's heart is towards me, and he has three sons and a daughter, I am afraid that the old pious woman will divorce me. Then he said to Mrs. Liu: "Mother, don't worry, although your uncle is a small official who is not in the stream, he also has a bit of a face in the yamen. ”

Mrs. Liu was also worried about this matter, and when she heard this, her heart was finally relieved.

The second girl comforted Mrs. Liu for a while, and then hurriedly took the carriage away.

Liu Qingyan and Xie watched the second girl leave, and only turned around and went back to the house when the carriage disappeared from sight.

"Mother, let's move to the city to live, so that the second aunt will be looked down upon by her mother-in-law."

"It's so easy to live in the city, and a small courtyard of the inferior costs a few hundred taels of silver. If our family doesn't come out of this situation, it may be possible in another year or two, but how dare you expect it now. Xie patted Liu Qingyan's head.

Liu Qingyan looked up at the sky, money, money, I have to find a way to make a lot of money.

After the second girl came, Mrs. Liu's spirit slowly improved, and her eyes finally had some brightness.

Liu Bowen came back again, Qingzhi's external injuries have improved, but there is still no sign of waking up, and she needs decoction and acupuncture treatment every day, and she spends a lot of money in the pharmacy.

The illness at home, the squatting in the prison, the squatting in the prison, how can I have time to teach in the school, so I want to quit.

Fortunately, he understood the righteousness in the school, and allowed him to take a leave of absence, so that he could handle the affairs of his family and then go back to continue teaching.

In mid-September, Liu Lanqing, who went to Fucheng to catch the exam, came back, although he did not get the first place, but he also won the third place in the first list.

This news was like a light in the night, which alleviated the continuous depressive atmosphere of the Liu family, and Mrs. Liu's condition was alleviated by two points.

Liu Lanqing learned that his grandfather and father were both taking care of his cousin Qingzhi in the county seat, so he rushed to the city to visit.

A few days later, the results of the release were conveyed to the county, and the county government sent officials to Baishui Village to report the good news.

The official took the big red good news and struck the gong all the way into the village, and the village knew that Liu Lanqing had also been admitted to Xiucai, and it was as lively as the New Year.

There was a father and son in the clan, and the Liu patriarch was happier than he was in the show, and he said that he would open an ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.

The officials entered the courtyard of the Liu family and learned that the new Xiucai family was actually the home of the recent public murder case, and they couldn't help but feel sorry. The third place in the first list, it is completely possible to raise people in the examination and then follow the Jinshi and the first, and now there is a criminal case in the family, which means that the career will be ruined.

Fortunately, the second girl sent some silver over, and the Liu family had silver to reward the officials.

The officials got a lot of rewards and left happily, thinking that something had just happened to this family and they wouldn't even be able to get the reward.

Perhaps infected by Liu Lanqing's good luck, Qingzhi finally woke up from her slumber, but as the doctor expected, she became a fool and didn't even recognize anyone.

After the county government sent people to determine that Qingzhi had become an idiot, the magistrate sentenced Liu Boyu to injure his life by mistake and punish him with ten years of hard labor.

The conditions in the land of hard labor are harsh, and after ten years of hard labor, if you don't die, you are basically sick, which is equivalent to a wasted person.

After the verdict came down, Master Liu and Liu Bowen took Qingzhi back to Baishui Village, her condition was serious, and she could only be cured in a short time, so she could only go home first and then think about it in the long run.

"Isn't there a way to reduce the sentence in the case of grandfather, father, and third uncle?" Liu Qingyan looked at Qing Zhi, who was climbing the window and counting the lattices, and asked.

The smashed doors and windows of the Liu family have all been installed, and the simple square lattice wood color is much worse than the original carved window lattice.

Liu Bowen pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, yes, but it won't work at all, the Guo family and we are already on the same footing, how can we come forward to plead for a light sentence." ”

Hearing this, Liu Qingyan asked: "As long as the Guo family comes forward to intercede, the magistrate can change the sentence?" ”

"Yes, if the Guo family can issue a commutation letter, your third uncle can give a light sentence as appropriate." Liu Bowen replied in the affirmative.

"Then let's go to Guojialing and let the Guo family come forward to intercede."

Liu Boyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The Guo family hates our family to the core, how can you go to the yamen to intercede for your third uncle." ”

"We have to try, if we don't try, how will we know that they don't agree, if I let my grandmother know that the third uncle was sentenced to ten years of hard labor, I'm afraid the condition will worsen again."

Liu Qingyan intuitively believed that the Guo family would agree, and according to their degree of greed, as long as certain conditions were offered, they would definitely agree.

Old Man Liu and Liu Bowen looked at each other speechlessly, their faces hesitant.

"Sister, the revenge of killing our son, how can the Guo family be willing to intercede for us, and if we go, we will be abused by them in vain, your idea is equivalent to a fool's dream." Liu Lanqing complained.

Liu Qingyan chuckled and said: "I'll go and say, let them scold a few words, and I'll listen to the dog barking." ”

Xie Shi hurriedly said: "That Guo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not good people, the words of scolding are so unpleasant that women can't stand it, how can you be a little girl who is the opponent of that pair of shrews." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I don't scold, I only negotiate conditions with their families, and I believe they will accept the conditions I propose." Liu Qingyan said with a firm face.

Old Man Liu pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Just do what Yan Yatou thinks, you can't watch the third child go to die, she can't stand it." ”

"Then I have to go to the county office quickly and ask the county magistrate to postpone the third brother's case file for a while before submitting it." Liu Bowen got up and walked out without waiting for the words to fall.

"Dad, I'll go with you, and more people will have more weight in their words." Liu Lanqing also followed.

"Grandfather, let's go to Guojialing."
