Chapter 250: Calculation
Zhong Ying and his wife got the silver ticket and smiled, Liu Man'er saw them like this, sneered, got up and left.
Back home, Liu Man'er handed over one of the contracts signed by Zhong Ying and his wife to Yun Niang, Yun Niang immediately cried with joy after seeing it, she was too eager for this free identity, she was grateful to Liu Man'er for not only letting her get rid of her brother and sister-in-law, but also not depriving her of her freedom because of this.
"Alright, alright, you can take it raw." Liu Man'er patted Yun Niang's shoulder, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "With this contract in the future, they will never have the face to bother you again." ”
Yun Niang clenched this contract tightly in her hand, she really didn't know how to thank Liu Man'er, she only suppressed the tears in her heart, bowed her head and said, "Master, I'll go cook for you." ”
"Go ahead." Liu Man'er could understand Yun Niang's mood at the moment, and she didn't say much, let her slow down alone.
It's just that like Zhong Ying and Zhong Wang's brother and sister-in-law, she naturally won't let it go like this, her money is not so easy to take, Yun Niang is originally a free person, she is not a commodity.
At noon, because Yun Niang was very grateful to Liu Man'er, so this meal was extraordinarily rich, and Liu Man'er was smiling all afternoon, and in the afternoon, she went out alone under the pretext of going to her teahouse.
Liu Yunsheng also wanted to go to the snack shop, but he was a little relieved that Yun Niang couldn't get rid of Yun Niang, so he asked Cao Er to accompany Yun Niang at home, Cao Er also wanted to accompany Yun Niang, and by the way, he asked her about embroidery, so he readily agreed.
Now although Liu Yunsheng and Yun Niang have not pierced the last layer of window paper, they both know each other's intentions, and sometimes they only need one look, and the meaning of the love is not in words.
After Liu Yunsheng left, Liu Man'er just came back from a stroll outside.
"You two are embroidering here." Walking into the study, Liu Man'er saw Yun Niang and Cao'er, and said hello to the two of them.
"Master, why are you back?" Yun Niang hurriedly put down her things and stood up.
"It's okay, I'm not fun out there alone, so I'm back again." Liu Man'er motioned to Yun Niang not to be polite, and she sat down next to Yun Niang with a smile.
Yun Niang saw that Liu Man'er had been looking at her, and she looked like she had something to say to her, so she said to Cao'er: "Miss Cao'er, can you help me go to my room and get a roll of green thread?" I'm gone. ”
"Okay." Cao'er got up and went to get the thread for Yun Niang.
When Cao'er got up to leave, Yun Niang asked, "Master, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
"Yes." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "I just want to ask you, do you hate your brother and sister-in-law?" They treat you like a commodity. ”
Hearing Liu Man'er's words, Yun Niang's hand holding the needle was crooked, and suddenly the stab was off, fortunately she was wearing a thimble, but she didn't prick her hand, she shook her head and said: "I don't have any hatred or hate, anyway, now I have nothing to do with them." ”
"Well, if you don't hate, forget it." After hearing this, Liu Man'er said: "Actually, I have already thought of a way for you to take revenge on them a little, but I don't know if you are willing or not." ”
"What's the solution?" Yun Niang's eyes lit up when she heard Liu Man'er say this, but she said worriedly: "Does the housemother want to do their business?" Or will it threaten their lives? ”
"I'm not that mean, I just want to return a tooth for a tooth and get my silver ticket back, you are a free man, I don't need to spend money to buy you, I just want to get my money back and make a dowry for you."
Seeing that Liu Man'er was serious, Yun Niang didn't know if what she said was true or not, but she didn't care about the dowry money, but Liu Man'er really didn't need to spend money for her, it was good to be able to get the money back, after thinking about it, she nodded.
Seeing her nodding, Liu Man'er leaned into her ear and whispered a few words in her ear, Yun Niang covered her mouth and looked at Liu Man'er in surprise.
"Just teach them a lesson, let them know that greedy people don't end well!" Liu Man'er said calmly.
"Okay." Yun Niang finally nodded after hearing this, and said, "I will cooperate with you." ”
"Hmm." Liu Man'er also had a smile on her face, and she said, "I hope that after this incident, you can really forget the past and start over." ”
"Yes." Yun Niang nodded, just as the grass also ran over, because of the fast running, she was out of breath, panting and said, "Master, I didn't find the thread." ”
"If not, forget it." Yun Niang didn't care, Liu Man'er said to Cao'er in a timely manner: "Cao'er, you help me watch the handsome play at home, and your master and I will go to the Zhong family to deal with some things." ”
Saying that, Liu Man'er winked at Cao'er and made an ambiguous look, Cao'er thought that Liu Man'er went to Zhong's house to talk about Yun Niang's marriage, and immediately nodded, "Sister, don't worry, I will look handsome at home, you can go with confidence." ”
"That's okay, if there's something going on, you can go find your second brother." Liu Man'er touched Cao'er's head and said, "This matter is a secret, can you tell the second brother." ”
"Sister, don't worry." Cao'er had a smile on her face, guessing that after a while, her master might become a sister-in-law.
"Then let's go." Liu Man'er said to Yun Niang, and the two walked out of the house one after the other.
The county seat, Zhongfu.
Zhong Ying and his wife were happy to get the silver money today, and they also drank a little wine during the meal, Zhong Wang said proudly: "If you want me to say, this Ye shopkeeper is also a fool, just Yun Niang's goods, where can it be worth two hundred taels of silver?" ”
"How are you talking?" Hearing Zhong Wang's words, Zhong Ying was a little unhappy, and he said, "She is my sister, and it's normal to be worth two hundred taels of silver." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" When Zhong Wang heard Zhong Ying say this, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he flatteringly picked up the wine glass and poured wine for Zhong Ying, and said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried that this Ye shopkeeper will have some conspiracy?" ”
"What's her plot? Didn't we read the contract, there was no problem. Zhong Ying waved his hand and said, "The silver ticket is also real, and this can be faked." ”
As he spoke, he ripped off a piece of jade pendant from his body and said, "I also picked up such a good jade pendant for nothing, today is really our lucky day." ”
"yes, yes." Zhong Wang's family responded again and again, but suddenly both of them were stunned, as if they had thought of something, and said in unison: "This jade pendant? ”
"Take it and hide it!" It's just that Zhong Ying was still halfway through his words, and there was already a sound of neat and orderly footsteps outside the door.
"Shopkeeper Zhong, don't come unharmed!" A catcher burst in, followed by five or six officials, and a woman with an anxious face.
"Lord Catcher, the jade pendant in his hand is the one I lost." Liu Man'er pointed to the jade pendant in Zhong Ying's hand and said eagerly: "Yesterday, he and his wife suddenly came to my house, and as a result, my jade pendant was gone. ”
"You're spewing blood!" Hearing Liu Man'er say this, this Zhong Ying suddenly became anxious, and he said, "Why should I steal your jade pendant?" ”
"My jade pendant is worth three hundred taels of silver, it was given to me by the county lady in the past, I have always been reluctant to wear it, who would have thought that it would be stolen by you." Liu Man'er said indignantly: "In vain, I always thought you were a serious businessman, but I didn't expect to do such a thing behind my back." ”
"I picked up this jade pendant." Zhong Ying hurriedly defended.
"Picked up?" Liu Man'er sneered and said, "This is really funny, the jade pendant I put at home will be picked up by you." ”
Hearing the dispute between Liu Man'er and the two, he looked at the jade pendant in Zhong Ying's hand again, and said coldly: "Take it away!" ”
"Catch the adults quickly, the villain's family background is quite solid, but he will never do such a thing." How has Zhong Ying ever been to the court? Hearing this, his hand shook, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Since ancient times, this judgment needs evidence, how can you convict me based on her words and the jade pendant I picked up!" ”
"If you have anything to say, you will talk about it in the court, and the witness will also be waiting for you in the court." The catcher glanced at Zhong Ying and his wife coldly, and waved his hand to let a few officials take them away.
Liu Man'er smiled sarcastically at them.
Zhong Ying suddenly understood, he looked at Liu Man'er: "Shopkeeper Ye, leave a line in everything, and see you in the future." ”
"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, don't worry, it won't kill you!" Liu Man'er's words were ambiguous, but she approached Zhong Ying and Zhong Wang to provoke them: "Oh, a businessman, with the name of a thief, it will be difficult to do a good job in the future." ”
"You, what kind of grudge do we have against you! I have no contradiction with your business. Zhong Ying was very puzzled.
"Yes, I have no grudge against you, why should you steal my things?" Liu Man'er said coldly, but she didn't admit that it was the two people she designed.
"This jade pendant is clearly what we picked up." Zhong Wang's sharp voice sounded, she felt that being cut behind her with such a backhand, even if she didn't do anything, it would be a humiliation for her to go to the county office.
"Who's your witness?" After all, Zhong Ying was still calmer.
"Your sister Yun Niang, because you don't want to be in the same stream with you, you want to sell her to an old man as a concubine." Liu Man'er said coldly: "As a brother and sister-in-law, your heart is too poisonous. ”
"You!" Zhong Ying suddenly figured it out, and he said, "I know, you calculated us from the beginning!" ”
"Why am I scheming against you?" Liu Man'er's eyes were cold, and she said, "Did I ask you to sell your sister for money?" You're to blame for everything! By the way, I heard that stealing more than 100 taels of silver will be punished by chopping off your hands, and you will have to engrave two red letters on your face, I don't know who is the mastermind of this incident? ”
"We didn't steal." Zhong Wang's family was immediately frightened by Liu Man'er's words, they are decent people, if the word thief is engraved on their faces, then how can they see people?
"You said that it's not good for you to steal something, but you want to steal the jade pendant given to me by Mrs. County Ling." Liu Man'er pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I won't tell you more, you will spend your time in prison or in the eyes of the world in the future." ”
"I don't want it, please let us go, just give you this jade pendant." Zhong Wang's family didn't dare to imagine that she would suffer such ridicule in the future, and she couldn't stand the prison life.
"There are some things that always come at a price." Liu Man'er took the jade pendant, but she was still unwilling to forgive them.
She said: "If you are willing to kneel in front of Yun Niang and apologize in front of Yun Niang, I will forgive you, ask the county lord to be gracious, and beat you with dozens of canes, I will not make a noise about this matter, but if you wait for the corner to resist, then it is no wonder to me." ”
"You woman is so poisonous." Zhong Ying drank it on the side.
"Only villains and women are difficult to raise, haven't you heard the old words of Confucius?" Liu Man'er raised her eyebrows and glanced at them leisurely: "So, don't mess with me, don't take my things, my people, don't interfere." ”
A misstep from the eternal hatred, Zhong Ying's face was full of remorse at the moment, how could he have sent a ghost to pick up this jade pendant in the morning, but he didn't expect to fall into someone else's trap.
In fact, if they didn't take her jade pendant yesterday, Liu Man'er would have a way to treat them, she could adapt a story and make her teahouse a special book, I believe that the couple will also get their due retribution.
Now Liu Man'er feels more and more the importance of opening a teahouse, I won't talk about other things, the important thing is to guide public opinion, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, you alone have no evidence, but it is not the same if it is adapted into a book and spread by tens of millions of people in the form of a story through Mr. Storyteller.
Therefore, in the future, she will have to open more teahouses.
