Leaving from Zheng Shuyu, thinking that he is a person with money now, he can go to the bookstore to buy a few books for Lu Xuan, and buy some paper to go back.

The bookstore owner greeted her happily when he saw her.

"Madam, we meet again. How was the last time?"

Mu Siyu smiled: "Thanks to the boss's care, the Hongwen Museum has accepted it."

"Really?" The boss was overjoyed: "Congratulations, Hongwen Museum has strict requirements, and I don't know how many students have been rejected."

"What did the Hongwen Museum accept?" A cold voice sounded.

The boss turned his head, saw the person coming, and hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. An, you are here."

"What were you talking about about the Hongwen Museum just now?" An Yiheng looked at Mu Siyu.

The boss said: "Last time Madam showed me a newly written script, and I saw that it was really good, so I introduced her to the Hongwen Museum, and she really won the vote."

An Yiheng asked Mu Siyu: "You wrote it?"

"No, my brother-in-law wrote it." Mu Siyu didn't hide it.

"En." An Yiheng took out two books from his pocket and gave them to the boss.

The boss didn't even pay money directly for reading it, and said: "In fact, Mr. An's talent can be voted for Hongwen Museum, but he can't write the current script."

"Not interested, trouble." An Yiheng said lightly.

The boss looked at An Yiheng's back and sighed: "This Mr. An is really a weirdo. But he is a popular figure in the next imperial examination, so maybe he doesn't want to spend too much effort on this!"

"Boss, give me some more paper, and I want to pick some books." Mu Siyu said, "My brother-in-law is not in good health. He stays at home all year round and is bored. Please introduce some interesting books to me!"

"Madam asked the right person. I just bought a few new books recently, all of which are selling very well in the capital. It is said that it is a travelogue written by an ascetic monk named Kong Jin. It records the customs and interesting stories of various places."

Mu Siyu smelled the aroma of sesame seed cakes in the air, and came to the sesame seed cake shop with the best business again.

There was a long line in front of them, and a white figure was vaguely seen.That person was An Yiheng who had just left.

Seeing An Yiheng, the proprietress said in a bad tone: "Don't you want sesame seeds or green onions? The pancakes here are all the same. If you don't want sesame seeds or green onions, go back and cook by yourself."

"Forget it." The lame man next to him persuaded: "Mr. An is also a guest."

"Humph!"

The lame man smiled at An Yiheng: "Young Master, wait a moment, I'll make it for you right away."

"No need, give me ten biscuits, no need to make them specially." An Yiheng said lightly.

"Good."

"Miss Boss, where's your daughter?" someone asked.

"Married." The proprietress took a look at An Yiheng: "If you don't get married, you will become an old girl."

"Look at what you said, how capable your daughter is. If she wants to marry, there are plenty of people who will marry her."

"I like to hear that. My daughter can do it, but some people don't like it because he has no vision. Really think I can win the top prize? How many scholars in the world can win the top prize?"

An Yiheng took the biscuits and left there.

Mu Siyu bought sesame seed cakes and went to drive the carriage, which was still parked in the backyard of Lingyun Pavilion.

Before he arrived at Lingyun Pavilion, he heard the common people talking about the case of Jiang's restaurant.She vaguely heard words such as shopkeeper and buddy, and stopped to listen to what they were talking about.

"Sentenced. The boss and shopkeeper confiscated their property, and Jiang's restaurant was closed down. The shoddy guy was sentenced to ten years in prison. The other guys can be released from prison for 50 taels each. If they don't, they will be imprisoned for three years."

"It's miserable."

"No."

Listening to their discussion, Mu Siyu felt a little uncomfortable thinking about that kind shopkeeper.

She turned a corner and came to the county office.

"Sister-in-law Lu, did you come to look for Secretary Lu again?" The yamen servant teased, "You two really have a good relationship."

"No, I want to inquire about something." Mu Siyu dragged the yamen servant into a corner. "The case of Jiang's Restaurant, brother knows about it?"

"Do you know someone from Jiang's Restaurant?"

"Brother is really forgetful, I have a cooperation with Jiang's restaurant, have you forgotten?"

"Yeah, look at my brain. So what do you want to ask?"

"The shopkeeper and the boss have their property confiscated, what will happen after that?"

"The victim's family will receive a sum of compensation, their property will be confiscated, and they will no longer be able to open a restaurant. There should be nothing else, and they can still live like ordinary people."

"Have you caught that shoddy guy?"

"I haven't caught him yet, but my lord has not given up and is still looking for him."

"Have the other guys been released from prison? Didn't they say that everyone will be fined 50 taels of silver? Those guys are all poor people, so I'm afraid they won't be able to pay so much silver."

"There's no way around this. The matter is quite serious. Just fined them 50 taels and they can be released from prison. It's a great grace. I can only blame them for their bad luck."

"I want to meet them."

"This...should be no problem. The case is settled, and the control on them is not so strict."

In the prison, more than a dozen guys sat there and sighed.

"50 taels... I have never seen five taels of silver in my life, let alone 50 taels. It seems that I will only be in prison for three years. Three years later, Hua Niu also married someone else. Huh... "

"Don't cry, you're not the only one who can't get it out, and I can't get it out either!"

"That's right, we are all waiters, how many of them can afford 50 taels of silver?"

"Someone came to see you." The yamen servant brought Mu Siyu in.

Mu Siyu looked at the fellows, looking for the kite among them.

Kite squatted in the corner, listless, as if sick.

"Mrs. Lu." The man recognized Mu Siyu. "How did you come?"

"I heard about your affairs, so I came to see you. I...I will find a way to help you." Mu Siyu said.

"Does Mrs. Lu have any money? We need money to go out now."

"That's right! If Mrs. Lu has money, she can help us. We are willing to write an IOU, and we will definitely pay you back in the future."

"Is the kite sick?" Mu Siyu asked.

"I've been ill for two days."

"I can't delay any longer. I have a plan here. Listen to it if you are willing. I will go to the county magistrate to negotiate terms. You will give him an IOU and pay off the money within one year. If you agree, I will go Find the county magistrate, let you go out first."

"This... within a year? How can we do it?"

"I am willing." Feng Zheng said weakly: "Sister-in-law, I will listen to you."

"Kite, you're crazy."

"Yes! Are you crazy?"

"We only have five hundred taels of silver a month, and it is impossible to save 50 taels of silver without eating or drinking."

"My family has younger siblings to take care of, and my mother is not in good health, so she wants me to take care of her. I can't stay in prison for three years. I still have a chance to go out. If I don't go out, the whole family will die." Kite looked at everyone: "I want to gamble. "
