"The big tiger went to get the lost silver." The white-bearded village chief pointed at Gu Jiu with his finger: "This kid stole forty taels of silver from Dahu's family, and Dahu went to Gujia Village." ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, Gu Youcai immediately remembered that his daughter-in-law had said that she had lost three taels of silver, and immediately shouted: "When you first came to steal food, you also stole five taels of silver from our family!" ”

"That's right! Our family is also missing two taels! ”

"And our family, there are six taels less!"

"Hurry up and return all our money, that's what my doll uses to study!"

"That's it, even if you steal something, you will also beat a rake, the forty taels of silver is a big handful, and the girl who has been covered for a long time looks like she has forty taels of silver!"

“……”

Everyone, you and I were so stunned that the white-bearded village chief couldn't speak, Wang Dahu had to argue for himself, but no one could hear it clearly, and no one cared about what he said.

The village chief raised his hand to signal everyone to be calm, turned to the white-bearded village chief and said, "Village Chief Wang, there are also many girls in our village who are married in your village, there is no need to make the relationship between the two villages so stiff because of a few people." You said that Xiao Jiu took forty taels of silver from you, this must also have evidence, right? Besides, forty taels is not four taels, so even if you hide a big handful, you have to hide it for a long time, and it is impossible to do it in such a short time at that time! ”

"But right now, your people did sneak to our Gujia Village in the middle of the night again, you also said yesterday that you would give us an explanation, I don't have to wait, Village Chief Wang, you will give us an accurate answer now! What the hell is going to be done about this? ”

"We don't want to embarrass you, just these few people who came to our Gujia Village tonight, you let us empty their food and take away their silver, and this matter will be over! After that, no one spoke of it again! No one is allowed to take revenge on that again! ”

Whitebeard Village Chief didn't speak, but looked at the rest of Peach Blossom Village, and after scanning the reactions of everyone in the circle, he finally got out of the way without saying a word.

Although Wang Dahu's house had been moved with grain, the silver had not yet been scavenged, so everyone took the lead in coming to his house. Gu Jiu originally thought that she would not find any more silver, after all, she had already taken it, but she didn't expect that after a while, she would turn out two taels again.

"Grandma's, it's only two taels after working so hard for a while."

"Don't worry, aren't there still four people? Maybe when these people shared the spoils, this man asked for more food and less silver."

"That's right! Village chief, let's hurry up and go to the next one! ”

After searching one by one, the villagers found a total of more than 70 catties of grain and more than 60 taels of silver, and they were all elated.

"Folks, let's talk about it before, in case someone hides it privately, we have to search our bodies one by one when we leave Peach Blossom Village. If you want to hand it in again, hurry up! ”

"Village Chief, our Gujia Village is not Peach Blossom Village, how can there be such a person! Let's go back quickly, my wife is still waiting for me at home! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they went out of Peach Blossom Village together with a smile, and after going out, the village chief really searched up one by one as promised, and returned to Gujia Village without accident.

"Sister, are you hurt?" Gu Jing looked at Gu Jiu left and right and asked.

"No, why don't you sleep at night?"

"Wait for my sister!"

Gu Jiu smiled and touched Gu Jing's head, waiting for the distribution results with everyone. The silver and grain were divided according to each household, and each family had two taels of silver and three copper plates, plus twenty catties of grain. As for how to divide the interior, that's a matter for each family.

"Village chief, give me the silver, it's inconvenient for the second uncle to take the silver after taking the grain." Gu Jiu took a step forward and stretched out his hand to take the silver. At the beginning, they also lacked food, and they deserved their share of this compensation.

"Okay." Saying that, the village chief directly gave the silver to Gu Jiu, and Gu Youcai immediately stepped forward when he saw this: "Jiu girl, the second uncle is not tired, why did you lose so much silver again?" ”

"No, it won't."

Along the way, no matter what Gu Youcai said, Gu Jiu did not agree to hand over the silver to him.

When they arrived home, Old Man Gu, Old Lady Gu, Zhao Family, Gu Wensheng and Gu Bazheng were waiting for them in a row. As for Gu Zheqi and Wang, one was too cold and reluctant to come out, and the other was reluctant to see anyone because his relatives were involved in stealing.

"If you have money, how many things have you shared?" Seeing that people came back, Old Man Gu hurriedly got up, and his eyes kept looking at the three of them.

"Two taels of silver for each family, three copper plates, plus twenty catties and one tael of grain."

"What about the silver?"

"Here I am." Gu Jiu took out the silver and shook it and said.

"Give it to me first."

"What's in a hurry, it's all points in your hands anyway." Gu Jiu took a step back and put away the silver.

"Points, points? Aren't you leaving? So what does this thing have to do with you? Old Lady Gu looked at Gu Jiu and said dissatisfiedly.

"Mother is right. Xiao Jiu, this thief stole a lot of money from your grandmother, this money is not enough, what will I give you! Because of the involvement of the Wang family's relatives in stealing things, Zhao Xiu'er is no longer decadent, and her mental state is the same as when Gu Qi first married into the Zhao Mansion.

"But we also lost our silver and lost our food, and this thing should be divided equally!"

"Deuce?" Old Lady Gu looked at Gu Jiu in disbelief: "What silver can you have?" Wouldn't you have spent the money for a tael of pensions! ”

"What about our food? You're not the only ones who don't have enough to eat! ”

"You're a ......"

"Enough!" Old Man Gu interrupted Old Lady Gu's next words, looked at Gu Jiu with a straight face and said, "These two taels of silver will be given to you half a tael as compensation, and the rest will not be mentioned again." ”

"Okay."

……

After entering the house, Gu Jiu took out a fire fold and opened the envelope that had been secretly hidden by the light on it.

"Sister, what is this?" Gu Jing looked at the pattern on the envelope rarely.

"Envelope."

This letter was found by Gu Jiu on Wang Guan's desk, when the things on it were turned over by the villagers, and the envelope sandwiched in the book revealed its head. When she saw it, she felt that the envelope was too delicate, and she thought that it was not used to send it to each other among her peers, so she secretly put it in the space while people were not paying attention.

After unfolding it, I unexpectedly found that this was actually a letter of recommendation, recommending Wang Guan to study in the academy in the city. No wonder he was so anxious to get back forty taels of silver, and with this letter and the forty taels of silver, he was able to enter the academy.

Most of the academies in the city have some potential benefits, such as making it easier for children to get children.

"Sister, what's written on this?"

"Some boastful words."

Wang Guan is bound to come to him again without this letter, and when the time comes, he can ask for some details of the academy.

……

Time flew by, and soon the day came when the city gates were opened. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by Wang Dahu's revenge halfway, Gu Jiu deliberately found the village chief and asked him to help find four or five people to move forward together with a reward of 20 yuan each.

"Sister, everything is packed, we can go!" Gu Jing said happily with a small baggage.

Gu Jiu nodded, feeling the intense gaze in the room and went out without notice.

When he arrived in the town, Gu Jiu found the car entering the city with ease, and got out of the car at an extra twenty copper plates before the others came.

"Sister, when will we arrive?"

"In the evening, when the stars come out, it's almost there."

Along the way, Gu Jiu cautiously paid attention to the wind and grass around him, but surprisingly, nothing happened until nightfall. Just when Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, the car suddenly stopped.

"Gu Jiu."

The familiar voice made Gu Jiu's consciousness run quickly again, and when he turned his head, it was Wang Guan who stopped in front of the car, but ...... Just himself?

"Where's the little brat, hurry up and play, don't delay us into the city!" The uncle's voice was soaked with impatience, and he even flicked the whip threateningly. But the prince had no intention of leaving.

"It is my father-in-law who guards the city gate today, and if I don't agree, you won't be able to enter the city!"

Hearing this, Gu Jiuyan looked up at the man who was looking down at the city gate, then at Wang Guan, and after signaling to the uncle to solve the matter, he got out of the car, walked to Wang Guan and took out the letter: "Are you here to ask for this?" ”

"Give it to me!"

"Yes, but you have to make sure you don't come to trouble me for a month."

"No problem." Wang Guan agreed very simply, but after receiving the letter, the corners of his mouth sneered, what a fool, he believes whatever others say!

Gu Jiu turned around and got into the car, and a second before he asked someone to stop the car, Gu Jiu took out another piece of paper in his arms and raised it at him: "If you really keep your promise, after a month, I will come here to return the letter in person." ”

Wang Guan was stunned, and immediately opened the envelope, and there was really a piece of paper missing in it - the original two became one, and the missing page was still the page with his name written on it!

Gu Jiu waved his hand at him, and before he could react, the uncle had already driven the car into the city gate under the confusion of the night, and it would be easy to have an accident if he stopped again.

"Just stop here." Gu Jiu was afraid that people would know their specific residence, so he asked the uncle to stop the car in advance. After giving the money, he asked the uncle who drove to send the rest of the people back, and he pulled Gu Jing and Ye Qingyi towards the inn together.

"Xiao Jiu!" Before he reached the inn, Gu Jiu heard Ling Yang's voice: "I knew you would definitely come back today." ”

"Xiao Jing, call Sister Lingyang."

"Sister Suzu is good."

"Okay, this is Ling Niang." Ling Yang took the things in Ye Qingyi's hand with a decent smile: "Junior, Ling Yang, is Xiao Jiu's friend." ”

"Good...... No, I'll just hold it myself. ”

"Mother, Lingyang is very good, it's not too early, let's go back to the inn first."

When they arrived at the inn, after explaining the situation to Xiao Er, Gu Jiu and a few people went upstairs.

"Xiao Jiu, I didn't expect Ling Niang and Ling Di to come, now the city gate has just opened, the inn is full, and only the two of us can sleep together tonight."

"That's right, I have a lot of things to tell you."
