Volume 1: The Jade Festival Chapter 54 Sister-in-law together
"What's the noise?" Just when things were about to get out of control, Lu Pei opened the door and strode in. Shi Liang, Geng San, and Wang Dashi, the three brothers who were originally entangled, were like mice seeing cats when they saw Lu Pei, and immediately stood up straight, gave a military salute and said, "Good one." ”
"Murder! Official, kill someone! Hurry up and save us. Fu Shi hid behind Confucius, and when he saw that Shi Liang and the three of them were so deferential, he immediately shouted loudly.
"Fart! Ahem! Wang Dashi, who had a pair of footprints on his chest, angrily stopped the little woman who was shouting, and hurriedly explained to the chief, "Lu Cheng, what is not there is nothing is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." ”
Lu Pei glared at his subordinates, and said sternly: "It's okay?" The table slammed like this? Do you think I'm fooled? ”
asked three questions in a row, and for a while Dashi didn't know how to interface. Lu Yicheng took advantage of the situation to glance at the three subordinates with a sharp gaze, and saw that Wang Dashi's eyes were dodging, and Geng San's face was fierce, only Shi Liang was still heavy, so he asked again: "Shi Liang, tell me what is going on today." ”
Shi Liang was asked, and he also glanced at the impulsive Geng San first, and then replied loudly: "Back to the line, we are negotiating with the third eldest sister-in-law about Geng Er's pension claim, I have already said when I asked you for leave at noon, I didn't handle the conflict well, and I am willing to be punished!" ”
The embers were not extinguished, Geng San heard that Shi Liang wanted to take over all the punishments, and then shouted urgently: "Xing Shou, this is my own family matter, it has nothing to do with the two of them, if you want to punish me, punish me alone!" ”
"Humph!" Geng San's abnormality today also surprised Lu Pei a little, but he had also heard about the Geng family's affairs, waved his hand, and commanded Dashi and Shi Liang: "You two will pull this fool outside first, and I will deal with the rest of the matter." ”
"Yes!" The two men received the order and immediately dragged the extremely unwilling Geng San out of the public gate.
Now, only Lu Pei, Fu Shi, and middle-aged Confucian students are left in the house. Lu Pei was not polite, pulled a chair and sat in the center of the room, glanced at the remaining two, and secretly thought in his heart, "This old lady of the old Geng family looks quite good." But he said seriously: "You are Geng San's sister-in-law." ”
After all, the Fu family is just a rural village woman, seeing that Shi Liang and the three of them are so deferential to the person in front of them, how dare they make a mistake, and replied again and again: "The little woman Geng family Fu has seen the official. ”
Lu Yicheng smiled slightly, and asked: "I don't know what happened to the sister-in-law of the Geng family who came to my Yujie Station today?" Wu Qisan naturally knew the purpose of the two of them coming in his heart, and he had also heard about the Geng family, especially the scandal between this woman and Geng Er back then, but it was rumored in the camp on the eastern border.
Before the Fu family met, the official master was so kind, as if he was prepared, he took out a silk handkerchief from his waist, rolled it on his fingertips and wiped the tears that had already dried up in the corners of his eyes, and said aggrievedly: "The second child of my family died so pitifully, but he left me a lonely man with nothing to rely on, and I hope that the official master will make the decision for me, and allocate the pension money, so that the little woman will not live on the streets." ”
Lu Pei frowned slightly, and replied: "Sister-in-law, Geng Er's death is also a regret in the army, it stands to reason that this money should be given to the second child's family, but I have heard that Geng Erxi has not been married so far, this pension should be received by the Geng family brothers, it seems that the eldest has passed away, and only Geng Sannan should be able to receive it." The rules are these rules, sister-in-law, don't you say? This statement is no different from Shi Liang.
In fact, Wuqisan has a plan in his heart, the third child eats and lives in the barracks, and this money will not be used for a while, which is equivalent to a dead account and living money, and it can be left in the yamen for emergencies, how can it be easily taken by this woman.
The woman suddenly wept, and said with a crying voice: "The officials don't know, last year's plague caused the death of my eldest man, I wanted to go with my husband, in order to be buried together, it was my second uncle who took care of the little woman day and night. I feel grateful for the kindness of the Geng family to me, and I have the heart to entrust the rest of my life. The two of us are in love and have promised each other. ”
Fu Shi was actually anxious, tears really flowed, and he cried: "Please also ask the official to pity the little woman and be widowed." "The family grain has been sold by her, and she came today to get this silver money, so that she can use it as a dowry, and go back to Toshiba Town with Xia Lang next to her to live a good life in a rich family, and her heart is sad, and tears flow instantly, and she becomes a tearful person.
Lu Pei's face was embarrassed, and he comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad, let me think of a way, but after all, rules are rules, and don't expect too much." "It's so comforting on the lips, but there is already a plan in the heart, and the silver money spent in vain is not something that can be obtained by crying twice.
Just when the matter was about to be perfunctory by 57san, the middle-aged jade-faced man who had been accompanying the Fu family patted the little woman dotingly, and said to Lu Peishi: "Lord Yicheng, listen to Xiaosheng's words." ”
Lu Pei didn't pay attention to the white-faced man just now, but regarded it as the woman's new concubine, and he disdained it in his heart. Now listening to this Confucian student's mouth, he is very elegant, and he can't help asking: "Dare to ask who Mr. is?" ”
The middle-aged jade face made another gesture, and then said: "Xiaosheng is just an ordinary peony priest in Toshiba Town, seeing Fu Min pitiful, he came back to the Jade Festival with her to take care of her husband's funeral. However, last year, when Deacon Lin was escorted by Wu Xingshou to pass through Dongzhi Town, he and his brother entertained a group of sergeants at the Yujie Station. ”
Hearing that Confucian reported to his family, Lu Pei naturally asked, "I don't know who Brother Ling is?" ”
The middle-aged man with a jade face smiled slightly, and replied like a spring breeze: "It is Xia Song, the head of the Toshiba Station garrison." ”
Lu Yicheng suddenly laughed and said: "Oh, it turned out to be Lao Xia's younger brother, his own people." In his heart, he was even more disdainful, he was now the head of a post, and he was naturally half a level higher than him Xia Song, remembering that it was Xia Song's arrogance to borrow soldiers before, and he was even more angry in his heart.
Confucius was still respectful, and said to himself: "My brother often complained to me: 'There are enough heavy-armored personnel in the battalion, but there are fifteen red-armored veterans who have been training for a long time, and they have obviously passed the background check, but there is no way out, and they have treated their brothers badly. I heard that the Jade Festival was not well guarded, so I asked the boy to come and help the old brothers in the camp find a way to be promoted. ”
When he was sleepy, someone sent a soft pillow, which naturally made Lu Xingshou, who was originally sitting calmly, very happy, and instantly jumped up from the chair, and took the man's hands closely, the smile on his face was uncontrollable, and said loudly: "Brother, then you can come at the right time, let's find a quiet place to talk about it carefully." By the way, sister-in-law together, sister-in-law together. As he spoke, he pulled the middle-aged man and Fu out of the room.
