Liu Xinning took the marriage book in her hand and watched it carefully.

The color of the paper was yellow, the ink was dull, and it looked like old paper that had been sitting for more than ten years.

However, the top is clean and tidy, and it looks like it is treasured.

"This marriage book, the handwriting is neat...... Liu Xinning looked at it carefully for a while before she said in a deep voice.

"My mother and aunt were illiterate, so I hired a marriage letter written by a teacher." Xu Congyu explained without panic at all.

"No wonder it's so neat." Liu Xinning said as she continued to stall for time.

"In this name column, why is it Huayue?"

"This is my cousin's old name. My cousin's current name was given by the nobles. Xu Congyu explained indifferently.

"Since ancient times, these have been three books and six rites. Your name has been asked, and the marriage certificate has been written, but you have not taken the gift. It's not in accordance with the rules......"

In this marriage book, there are writers, writers and witnesses.

Information such as hometown, name, and birth date has also been verified by Chun Nuan, and it is indeed correct.

Now, Liu Xinning can only find flaws in the process.

"Lord Yu, I said it just now, because Zai Xia and Hua Chunnuan are young, so they just agreed to get married. This marriage letter is an expression of sincerity by the Xu family. After all, the father of the family was already a talent that day, and the Hua family was ......"

Xu Congyu's unfinished words showed that the Hua family's family background was not as good as the Xu family.

"Besides, the etiquette in the countryside is not as complicated as in the capital. With a marriage certificate, more than those etiquettes can determine the marriage. ”

Xu Congyu's words were neither humble nor arrogant, so that most people in the hall couldn't help but nod.

Yes, the Xu family and the Hua family are just people in remote villages, how can they be compared with the families in the capital?

That's it, that's it!

Now it seems that Xu Congyu can only take Chun Nuan away first, and then let Xiao Muze snatch it back.

It's just that after the spring is warm, I can't stay by her side and serve openly. It's a pity, Chun Nuan is indeed loyal and capable.

Liu Xinning sighed as she handed the marriage letter to Chun Nuan.

However, as if she felt something, she handed Chun Nuan's movements a pause, and then watched carefully.

After reading it, she rubbed it vigorously with her hands.

Liu Xinning's movements puzzled everyone, and they all stared at her.

"I saw that the date written on the marriage book is the first year of Qingping?" Liu Xinning looked at the date carefully, and then asked Xu Congyu.

"Exactly. The eighth day of the second month of the first year of Qingping. Xu Congyu was puzzled, but replied seriously.

"Then you're pretty good. Seventeen years ago, I used the 'Hongyun Paper' that I made ten years ago. Liu Xinning said with a sneer.

As soon as she said this, Liu Tingfeng and Xu Congyu both changed their faces.

Both of them are scholars, and they are used to using fine white rice paper, how do they know the name of these rough hemp papers?

On that day, the two also thought of the family background of the Yihua family and the Xu family, presumably because there was no good paper, so they used the cheapest white linen paper.

Who knows, this paper was made only ten years ago?

"The county lord is joking, right?" Xu Congyuqiang pretended to be calm and said, "This is just paper made of hemp that we ordinary people are used to." It's been around for a long time. ”

"I love to read, so I have all kinds of books in my little study. When I was bored, I studied paper. Later, I learned the art of paper recognition from Master Han of Hallym Academy. This little piece of paper can't hide from my eyes. Although you have made this paper old, the texture of this paper cannot be changed. However, lest you say that I am a bully, I will ask a few proficient people to test it. Why don't you go with my subordinates in person? Liu Xinning sneered.

She turned to look at Liu Tingfeng, who couldn't hold back her anxiety, "Or, can Father also send someone with him?" ”

"This, this...... Ning'er, are you mistaken? After all, you've only learned to play in the boudoir. If there is a mistake, let those adults identify it, but it will be a joke. Liu Ting said with a dry smile.

Bachelor Han?

He remembered. There was a time when Liu Xinning had a close relationship with the eldest granddaughter of Master Han.

He only thought it was a correspondence in the boudoir, but did he learn the skill of recognizing paper?

"It doesn't matter. If there is a mistake, it means that I am not good at learning. Someone is coming, ......" Liu Xinning called someone in.

Liu Xinning instructed someone to take Xu Congyu and Liu Tingfeng's personal entourage and went to the Hanlin Courtyard together.

There were people on duty in the Hanlin Academy, so they quickly went to the eldest princess's mansion, inspected it, and affirmed Liu Xinning's conclusion.

Not only was there a problem with the paper of the marriage letter, but even the ink was made twelve years ago.

After sending away the adults who were inspected, Liu Xinning looked at Xu Congyu coldly.

At this time, Xu Congyu no longer had the previous indifference, but knelt in the lobby decadently.

"You deliberately deceived the Eldest Princess's Mansion, you really don't take the Eldest Princess's Mansion seriously." Liu Xinning buttoned him up with a big hat.

"No, it's not ......," Xu Congyu hurriedly defended, "Down, down, I happened to see the flower girl before." Lovesickness became a disease, so he made this decision. In the next, in the next, I just want to ask to marry the flower girl as my wife. ”

As soon as he came out as a flower girl, Liu Xinning almost didn't collapse.

"No matter what you do, it's a fact that you deceived the Eldest Princess's Mansion. Come on, send him to the official for investigation. The county lord suspected that he had other intentions for the Eldest Princess's Mansion. ”

Liu Xinning didn't listen to Xu Congyu and only involved Chun Nuan, which was directly defined as being unfavorable to the eldest princess's mansion.

After all, a bitter master is a descendant of the eldest princess's mansion, and a bitter lord is the eldest princess's mansion, so the yamen will still weigh it.

"The county lord spares his life, the county lord spares his life." Xu Congyu hurriedly pleaded.

Seeing that Liu Xinning was unmoved, he turned his head to beg Liu Tingfeng again, but saw Liu Tingfeng's warning eyes. Suddenly frightened, he went to beg the eldest princess of Changle again.

The eldest princess was even more impatient to listen to his words, so she directly asked people to cover her mouth and send it to the yamen.

Xu Congyu was escorted away, and Liu Tingfeng also hurriedly stood up.

"There's still something going on in my yamen, so I'll go first. It was this man who begged so much that I brought it here. Unexpectedly, he was a liar. ”

Liu Tingfeng explained with some embarrassment.

"Since this man is deliberately deceiving, the colt naturally has no way to tell the difference. Go quickly, donkey. The eldest princess said comfortingly.

Liu Xinning couldn't help but sneer when she looked at Liu Tingfeng's eagerness to deal with the aftermath.

This Xu Congyu is just a little minion, presumably bribed and threatened by Liu Tingfeng, and he will naturally get the punishment he deserves in the yamen.

As for Liu Tingfeng, since he dares to do it, he must also have a plan for the aftermath.

What's more, even if Xu Congyu bites out the Liu Ting wind, this spring warmth is just a subordinate, and he can't set off a big storm.

Therefore, Liu Xinning didn't plan to bite Liu Tingfeng from this matter.

Oh, the ledger is booked, and I'll wait for it to be counted little by little in the future.

The eldest princess saw that something was going on, and went back to Weiyang Courtyard. Liu Xinning returned to Shuyi Garden with the warmth of spring.

"County Lord, this time the servant almost touched the reputation of the county lord. Please forgive the lord of the county. ”

Liu Xinning entered the inner room and just sat down, Chun Nuan knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.

"It's none of your business. It's just that someone wants to get rid of the faithful people around me. Are you sure you're not going home, though? ”

"The maid is very sure. The servant has no relatives in the family. When I returned home, I said that I had to be arranged by the elders of the clan at will. ”

Chun Nuan said categorically.

"If you don't want to return to your hometown, you can stay and live in the capital."

"Stay in the capital, how can the horse master let me go? It's better to stay with the county lord, not worry about eating and drinking, and be comfortable. The county lord is kind, and the servant is not worried about being harshly criticized. Where can you go to have such a good life? Chun Nuan disagreed.

When Liu Xinning heard this, she stopped persuading.

Horses of courses. Like her, she must be free and take her destiny into her own hands. But there are also people like Chun Nuan, who just want a stable life.

Reluctantly!

"Good. As you wish. After Liu Xinning finished speaking, she sent Chun Nuan away.
