Chapter 14: The First Meeting

Haitang accompanied the Hu family to get the money, and secretly prepared a gift for Ye Qingyou.

A hairpin carved with lotus and a pair of silver chopsticks.

"The chopsticks were given by Sister Xia Ying, and the hairpin was given by the slave. It was not easy to go out for a trip, and the slave maid took advantage of the fact that they took the money to make a note, and hurriedly went to the embroidery room to choose. ”

Ye Qingyou was very happy, took down the hairpin on the bun, and inserted Chuntang's hairpin into it.

"Xia Ying also has a heart, afraid that I will be poisoned by them."

In the future, you can eat with silver chopsticks, and you don't need to take a silver needle to check it every time.

"Sister Xia Ying's mouth is so powerful, the old lady who is stunned today can't say a word! The slave and maid listened to Titi more than happy! ”

"Don't overdo it, let her notice it's not good." Ye Qingyou admonished.

"Sister Xia Ying felt that if she didn't scold a few words, she was easy to be suspicious, saying that she was cheap in her bones."

Ye Qingyou "poofed" and smiled, this was indeed Xia Ying's temper, "Did she say who bought the shop?" ”

"It's a guy who has just moved to settle in the capital. I didn't want to keep some spare money in my hand, so I bought a shop to make a living, saying that I would rent it out if I couldn't do it steadily. ”

Ye Qingyou nodded slightly, "I'm afraid this is to pave the way for foreign officials entering Beijing, and make some points in advance." ”

"Do you want Sister Xia Ying to stare at it again?"

"Don't do much, don't do anything today, eat and drink, don't mention a word of business, I have to rest my brain."

Ye Qingyou asked her mother-in-law to help buy a beautiful woman to get drunk and have a drink with Chuntang.

Before she got up the next day, someone from the county lord of Xi came, "Before Ye Niangzi didn't go out of the courtyard, the county lord exempted you from setting the province in the morning and dusk, and now the lady can move freely in the mansion, and the rules that should be set can't be saved, right?" ”

Ye Qing was stunned, Lord Xi asked her to set up rules?

"I'm not a concubine in the house, so I can't talk about the morning and dusk province, right?"

"The county lord asked you to go and ask for peace, and you still dare to open your mouth?"

"The county lord is of noble birth, so naturally I don't dare to be disobedient, but there is always a charter for acting. I'm not a slave or maid in the house, I ate wine on my birthday yesterday, and my headache is not very comfortable, if the county lord is not in a hurry, I won't go to see it today. ”

Ye Qing thought about it for a while and understood, I was afraid that the other side knew that she had taken money for the Hu family, and misunderstood that the two made peace.

But she didn't want to explain to Lord Xi, it was unnecessary.

The subordinates had nothing to do with her, so they could only go to Liang's mother in a huff and huff, "...... The arrogant energy, as if she is the heroine of the house! ”

"Yesterday was her birthday?"

"That's what the cooks said, she also took the silver to cook a few more side dishes, and waited for Chuntang to come back and eat together."

Liang's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that she has changed her mind...... You go and call that Chuntang over. ”

The next person can only run again.

Chuntang went and came back soon, and he also held an embroidered fan in his hand, "It was given to the lady by Liang's mother for the county lord, and it made up for your birthday yesterday." ”

"Did she ask about the Hu family?" If she doesn't go, Liang's mother can only summon Chuntang.

"Asked." Chuntang said 1510, "...... Speaking of delaying your removal of the grave of your mother-in-law, the slave and maid complained a few more words. ”

"Liang's mother didn't ask Hu how much money he borrowed?"

"The slave didn't say a clear amount, but said that the silver of the three shops was forcibly borrowed by the old lady." Chuntang is still a little clever.

Ye Qingyou was very satisfied with this.

She was originally worried about how to let Lord Xi know about this, but she didn't expect Liang's mother to become an assistant. I'm afraid that in a few days, the house will make a big fuss again?

Sure enough, on the night of the first day of October, the county lord of Xi had a big quarrel with the Hu family.

Because Hu's younger brother lost money again, the creditor directly found the county lord of Xi, and even went to the military department to find Yin Wenzhao.

“…… Liang's mother said that you borrowed a lot of silver to supplement your mother's family, and I thought about it, and I opened my eyes and closed my eyes, maybe your mother's family was in trouble. ”

"I didn't expect to lend money to your brother to gamble? And also went to the general to ask for debts? I finally reinstated the general, and you're going to ruin him!" ”

Hu didn't expect his younger brother to gamble again? And it also affected his son?!

"It's not the money that Zhao'er owes, why should they go to Zhao'er to ask for it? And it's illegal to open a casino, isn't it okay for the government to arrest them?! ”

"Heh, do you really not understand or fake you don't understand? If you can open a casino in the capital with great fanfare, even I can't afford to provoke it! "Lord Xi really couldn't have imagined that the Hu clan would be so stupid!

"How could that be? You are the emperor's favorite county lord, how can there be someone you can't afford to provoke. ”

"You don't talk nonsense, how much money are you lending him?"

Hu choked.

"Ouch, my head hurts, I'm dizzy......"

Liang's mother stepped forward and screwed her hard, "Are you still pretending to be at this time?" Are you going to put your own son's future on the line for that gambler's brother? ”

Hu Shi's tears of pain fell out, and he didn't dare to touch the porcelain and pretend to be dead, "Ye Qingyou's three shops exchanged for two thousand three hundred taels...... I only kept a hundred. "The rest is for my brother to gamble.

"Hula" sounded.

The celadon bowl in the hand of the lord of Xi County was smashed!

"Go and arrest that person, personally send it to the government office, tell the government that he has nothing to do with our general's mansion, and ask the government Yin to convict himself."

"Don't, you can't leave him alone, that's your uncle!" As soon as Hu Shi heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"You don't want to be decent, the general and the county lord are decent, let them call a gambler in debt to call uncle? You can figure it out. Liang's mother hated to tear Hu's mouth.

Hu Shi suddenly sat on the ground and cried and wiped his tears, "What kind of sin did I create?" It's all to blame on that Ye Qingyou, she wants to lend me money, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a big mistake! ”

Lord Xi's forehead ached, as if he had been smashed with a heavy fist.

She always thought that Ye Qingyou was scheming, but she didn't expect Hu Shi to be so crooked?

"Go and find Ye Qingyou! The county lord wanted to know how her heart could be so big, and she would borrow two thousand taels casually! ”

……

Ye Qingyou heard her mother-in-law talk about the quarrel in the front yard, and she was ready to go to the front hall.

Someone came to spread the news, and she took the note set up by Xia Ying and Hu Shi to see her.

This is the first time she and Lord Xi have met.

Lord Xi sat on the main seat, looking up and down without speaking, Liang's mother stepped forward to ask what she had just said.

“…… That's two thousand taels, why didn't the lady come to talk to the house and then decide? ”

Ye Qingyou took out the note and handed it to her, "The old lady asked me to borrow money, saying that she wanted to invest in a restaurant, and she would pay me interest on a daily basis." ”

"This is a note that she and I have set up with another maid, and there are also the handprints of the officials of the city and the government on it."

"It's also because the county lord hasn't given me the rest of the dowry silver, so I want to earn some interest on the silver in my hand, so that I can move my mother's grave as soon as possible."

Lord Xi: ......

She's so redundant to call this woman to see her!

"This silver is not owed to you by the General's Mansion, but she personally owes you."

"So the county lord means, the old lady cheated me out of my money? If this were to be counted according to the law, it would be a judgment of fraud. ”
