The two letters went to the capital together. One was written to Zheng Quan, and the other naturally went to the Marquis of Guangping's mansion.

Lu Xiyue was stunned when she received the new appointment document in the city. Not only did he suppress bandits to no avail, but he was also convicted of "using violence to collect money from past businessmen". At the end of the year, the eunuch sent by Zheng Quan will come to take over the city. Not to mention that his career is not good at making a living, there is no other way to come every month except for Yulu, and he will be handed over in less than three months, and he will move out of the official office. Nanquan is full of wealthy merchants, and the housing prices in the city are expensive, so if you don't let the capital, let alone buy a yard, even if you rent a yard, it won't last long.

Lu Xiyue sighed. This little woman is really ruthless.

Liu Wang and Li came to look for Liu Zhi angrily. "What are you doing when you take away your son-in-law's official position?"

Liu Zhi smiled: "Where did I get the power of a woman to take away his office?" Since ancient times, there has been no official who cannot offend anyone, he must have provoked someone himself. ”

Liu Wang was suspicious: "Really didn't you ask Yan Dagongzi to do it?" ”

Liu Zhi became impatient: "If you have time to interrogate, I might as well go and ask your own good son-in-law directly." ”

Liu Wang and Li also wanted to say something to ask Liu Zhi to help, but Liu Zhi directly refused, "It's not child's play for the imperial court to appoint officials, what can Brother Xiaochun help with." What's more, your son-in-law himself doesn't know Hou Ye, in terms of the situation, he knows Hou Ye is still in front, let him figure it out by himself. ”

This wicker is not as anxious as her father, she tried her best to comfort her husband with the gentleness of a woman: "Don't worry, my sister will definitely find a way, I still have money, let's buy a yard and move out first." Lu Xiyue smiled bitterly, of course he knew that her sister was the culprit, if she wasn't afraid that her sister would be sad as a widow, she probably would have killed herself without mercy.

Liu Wang and his wife insisted on refusing to let Wicker buy a yard, and let them all move to Qiqiao Lane, "The yard is very big, what are you doing with wasting money." Lu Xiyue was reluctant in his heart, but he had nothing to do and could only move over. It was Lu Baozhu who secretly wrote a letter to Mrs. Hou about Lu Xiyue's loss of office, and Mrs. Hou cried with Yanhou. Yan Yun has a bad impression of Lu Xiyue, not to mention that his own son has already returned home, and other people's sons are even less precious. Mrs. Hou's delicate white lotus little daughter who wept in the wind had already made him tired of being crooked at this time, and Mrs. Pearl was like the meat of his heart at this time, and he was also willing to take out a piece of meat from his mouth to Zheng Quan, so as to please the beauty.

Tacitly, he wrote a letter to Lu Xiyue, bluntly saying that his life experience was troubled by Zheng Quan to the ministry, although he is no longer guilty, but thousands of innocent young talents are waiting for a candidate, and in this life he is about to be hopeless in his career.

But out of his wife's incense, Yan Yun arranged an errand for Lu Xiyue as a staff, and he was almost a scribe, and he still had a bowl of food to eat.

The roast goose in Fuquanlou is Liu Zhi's favorite food, she likes the crispy skin the most, every time she eats the thin, crispy and fragrant skin, and the meat is eaten by Li Chun. And now she only drank rock tea and didn't move her chopsticks, Feng Jinbao watched the golden and attractive roast goose in the white porcelain plate gradually cool down, and sighed secretly in his heart, he tried his best to persuade: "Big sister, let's eat something first." ”

Willow Branch shook his head: "I'm not hungry. ”

Feng Jinbao seriously handed over the name and asked to see him, although Liu Zhi is now full of doubts and wariness of the former Fifth Brother Feng, but he is different from Lu Xiyue; So after Liu Zhi excused himself a few times for the reason that he was busy, Feng Jinbao handed over the name post again and asked Grandma Yan to appreciate her face when she saw Fuquanlou, and she still came.

Feng Jinbao never mentioned the past feelings, childhood memories or anything, this is what he did the smartest and restrained, he talked about things, said a few simple greetings, and went straight to the point after talking about the situation of Zhang San and Xingrui's family: "Big sister, I heard that you want to make the business of the restaurant bigger, can you count me as a share?" You know that I used to manage Manxianglou, and I am not a layman. ”

/>

Liu Zhi thought about it, but still refused: "I'm not a big restaurant like Manxianglou, Fifth Brother Feng is overkill, and it's not worth being distracted by this small business." Nanquan is full of opportunities, and it is good for Feng Wuge to continue to do the tea and spice business. ”

When she left Fuquan Tower, her heart was inexplicable, and her thoughts about Li Chun became extra strong at the moment. She said to Chang Yao Let's take a walk and go to the rouge shop in front of us. She thought about dressing up and making herself look beautiful, and when Brother Xiaochun saw it, she didn't know how happy she would be.

After walking a few steps, there were bursts of crying and struggling in an alley on the side, and Chang Yao stepped up to protect the willow branches: "Lady, let's go quickly." Liu Zhi was turning around when he heard the noise approaching, and saw two middle-aged rough men dragging a girl about ten years old and a woman with a green silk head scolding and scolding.

"Why did you rob the people's girls in broad daylight?" Willow saw the girl struggling desperately on the stone path like a fish out of water, her fingers grinding blood on the ground.

Chang Yao was not in a hurry to catch the willow branches, and the little lady with a strong sense of justice in her family stepped forward. The rough man was stopped by her, and seeing that she was followed by four strong servants, he did not dare to make a mistake easily, and retreated to the side to wait for the woman with the green silk head behind him to come up. But the willow branch knew some of this woman, and it was a person's tooth. She has dealt with daily household chores since she returned from Swallow Island, and she has also dealt with Chinese people such as Yapo, although she has never done business with this woman, but she has seen it.

The woman caught up, just looking at the grace of Chang Yao standing behind the willow branch, she knew that the grandmother in front of her must be a grandmother from a big family, and when she saw that the willow branch was busy saluting: "Hello Yan young grandmother, big young grandmother is shopping." ”

"Are you robbing people in broad daylight?" Willow asked.

The woman immediately confessed: "Wronged, Grandma Yan, the woman is an authentic good citizen." This girl was sold to me by her own father. ”

"Nonsense! Now is not a famine year, how can there be a father who sells his daughter! Liu Zhi saw that although the girl was wearing a cloth robe, it was seven or eight percent new, and it was still clean except for the mud that was put on between the tows. There are no patches; The girl also wears a pair of silver lilacs on her earlobes. Obviously not from a very poor family.

"Grandma, this girl has done something embarrassing, so her family doesn't want her anymore." This made Liu Zhi stunned.

At this time, the girl had already broken free violently and shouted for help to the willow branch: "Help! I didn't! I didn't have an affair! ”

······

This girl Xiaorong is a person from the fishing village where Aunt Xu took her to buy cheap vegetables when Liu Zhi first opened a food shop. Liu Zhi and his entourage followed Ren Yazi to the fishing village, and saw many idlers squatting in front of a courtyard in the east of the village. Seeing Xiao Rong's eyes, they lit up.

It turned out that this little Rong Niang had passed away for many years, and her father married a widow, and later gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and she has also accumulated some family business in recent years. Xiaorong is actually married, but her stepmother has never let her get married, so she can stay at home to do housework and take care of her younger siblings. She is nineteen years old this year, and her husband's family said that they would quit if they didn't marry, so Xiaorong's father reprimanded the stepfamily a few words and asked her to handle her daughter's family affairs.

Xiao Rongfu's family has dozens of acres of tea forests, and the days are acceptable, and the dowry gifts sent are also abundant. The stepmother started to think crookedly, and made up a private meeting between Xiao Rong and a single Dragon King Temple in the village, and married her daughter instead of Xiao Rong after making a fuss. He sweetly coaxed Xiao Rong's father and said that he was sending away his immoral eldest daughter far away, so as not to affect his son's future marriage, so he sold her and had to inject money.

"I didn't! You asked me to bring soup to my father, and you clearly framed me! Xiao Rong scolded angrily.

When the stepmother saw that Xiao Rong had come back, she sat on the ground and cried: "You did such a shameful thing and would have soaked the pig cage!" For your sake, I quietly sent you to a far place, but you didn't appreciate it, but brought someone back to bite me. Oh my God, you have lost your conscience! ”
