Chapter 38: Verbal Disputes
"Isn't it just a girl who is the daughter of a criminal official, it stands to reason that she should have been confiscated and sold a long time ago, it would be good to give her the silver, and it was her turn to ask for it with confidence." The previous woman stood behind the screen and whispered to Wang's mother, with a dissatisfied face, "Mom, it's too easy to speak, don't say it, that person is a criminal official, that is, he is not guilty, a seven-grade county order, we really want him to be a slave, dare not give it?" ”
Mother Wang didn't speak when she heard this, thinking in her heart.
"Mom, you don't know what our young master's temperament is, if you don't have this girl, you have to demolish this place." The woman continued, "The second master has already said that he is leaving today, let's go home as soon as possible, don't make a fuss and can't leave." ”
Hearing this, Mother Wang nodded.
"Mom, if it's not hard to say, let me say it." The woman said, shaking her hand and about to go out, but was grabbed by the old woman.
"Just your cannon mouth, it's okay to let you tell you something." The old woman smiled with disgust, "When you go out, it's better to cause less trouble." ”
The woman grinned, and watched the old woman walk out, but she did not turn back, but stood behind the screen and listened.
"I can only say sorry to the girl."
Seeing that the old woman in front of her refused after going in and coming out, Liu Meibao was a little disappointed.
"As the saying goes, the money is clear, and it will not be returned, we have the money before the first time, and the girl will regret it, and I can't say that it is not." The old woman said, although she had a smile on her face, her expression was no longer so polite.
Since this is the case, it seems that it is just more silver, Liu Meibao bit her lower lip lightly.
"That's right, this is my girl, without my consent, my aunt bought it for fear of not conforming to the rules." She looked up and said, looking at the old woman, "Mom also said that buying and selling has its own rules, so this business is not in accordance with the rules from the beginning....."
The smile on Wang's mother faded and looked at Liu Meibao.
"Don't you just want more money?" The woman on the screen couldn't listen anymore, turned around, untied a sachet from her waist, and threw it over without looking at it, "Take all of these, is it enough?" ”
The sachet is made of fine silk, embroidered with exquisite entwined lotus, thrown in Liu Meibao's arms, bringing a faint fragrance, although it is not opened, but the tentacles have some weight, it is estimated to be silver.
"I don't want money." Liu Meibao took the sachet and looked at the woman and said.
"Too little?" The woman's willow eyebrows raised lightly, looked at Liu Meibao, her eyes swept over the ragged clothes in her eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "That's good, you want to redeem people, do you have money?" ”
"Yes." Liu Meibao nodded and said.
"That's good." The woman pursed her lips and smiled, stretching out her hand, "Five taels of silver." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mother Wang and Master Wu in the hall both knew what this woman meant, although there was a feeling of bullying, but there was no way to do it, so they didn't say anything.
"The price of sitting on the ground is too high, girl." Liu Meibao smiled and said.
"Now that we're sellers, I'm happy to." The woman laughed too.
"Then it seems that the only place to judge is to find a place to judge." Liu Meibao was not in a hurry, and said with a smile, "I said that the previous deal should not have been completed, and my master's family didn't agree at all." ”
Hearing her words, the three of them were slightly flustered, and their expressions were a little solemn, what did she mean to go to court?
"You want to go with us to file a lawsuit?" The woman was surprised, "You're not afraid to go to the official?" Just for this one slave? ”
"Why should I be afraid of the officer?" Liu Meibao said with a smile.
The atmosphere was slightly stiff, the woman felt that she had fallen behind, although she was just a slave, but at least she was standing behind a wealthy family, far from being comparable to the former daughter girl in front of her, even if this girl was still a daughter girl now, it was just a small Qipin County Ling family, this feeling made this woman a little uncomfortable.
"Do you know who we are?" She couldn't help but say.
The old woman on the side immediately coughed and glanced at the woman with a bit of warning.
The woman's face flushed, knowing that she had lost her temper, this kind of behavior of fighting for power was not what such a slave and maid of their family should have.
Liu Meibao smiled slightly, and before she was about to speak, someone outside the door hurriedly rushed in.
"Master, master, no!" Someone shouted as they entered.
This is a small guy, his face is like earth at this time, and his expression is flustered.
Master Wu was greatly embarrassed, glared and scolded: "There are no rules, who let you in, get out!" ”
"Sir." The little guy fell to his knees, but did not get out, and behind him the butler stumbled in with his hat in hand.
"Master, Lu Yan is here.." The butler said, his voice trembling and his teeth clattering.
"It's worth it for anyone to come." Master Wu said impatiently, halfway through his words, he suddenly bit his tongue and stood up suddenly, "Who?" ”
"Lu Yan, Lu Erlang, Lu .." The butler stomped his feet.
"What is he here for?" Master Wu shouted with horror in his eyes.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the old woman's expression became solemn, looking at the woman on the side and still a little puzzled, she lowered her head and whispered a few words to her, and the woman also changed color slightly.
"Master, do you want him to come in?" The butler asked nervously.
"Nonsense!" Master Wu came back to his senses, and scolded his female relatives in the presence, "If you don't invite in, you can't wait for someone to come in!" Please! ”
The butler hurriedly turned around, staggering and almost tripping over himself.
"Please go to the study." Master Wu hurriedly added.
The butler answered.
"Miss Liu." Master Wu couldn't care more politely, and pointed to Liu Meibao still holding the money bag in his hand, "It's almost enough, don't make trouble, it's not good for you to see the official, I'll tell you frankly, it's useless to see it, so be it, this money is enough for your family to have a good life for a year, I'll give you two more girls." ”
Saying and waving his hand.
The woman and the woman didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Meibao anymore, and turned around to go in, when someone strode in.
Master Wu was walking out, and when he looked up and saw this person, he was so frightened that he took two steps back.
"Lou . . . Lu Yan, what are you going to do? He was so frightened that he forgot to be polite and said what was in his heart.
"I'm not here to find Master Wu.." The man smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver the silver."
As soon as he spoke, Liu Meibao only felt familiar, and turned around to look, and the woman and woman who had already stepped back also looked over.
The reputation of this Lu Yan and Lu Erlang, the woman and the woman have obviously heard of it, the poor villagers are rough men, after these two people came here, they also met those so-called smugglers on the road a few times, they lifted the curtain and peeked, they were all bearded and hair messy, although the clothes were not as tattered as the real poor, but no matter how good the clothes were on the body, they also looked sloppy and sloppy.
Although the young man in front of him was tall, he had neat hair and half-worn clothes, but he was clean, especially with a gentle smile on his face, and he didn't match the murderous Hades.
