Daming female local tyrant

After Qi An returned from Qingxi Village, she asked her wife, Ge Shi, to go to Lu's house with a basket of peanuts and dates, met her sister, and told her that she had found out some very important things, and asked her to take time to go back to her mother's house.

Qi Shi was overjoyed when he heard that, and put a piece of two taels of silver in Ge Shi's basket, and asked her to buy some fish and some meat and go back to the family to have a good meal. She will go back to her mother's house tomorrow.

Geshi took the money and happily cut a few catties of meat, bought a fish and carried it back.

After arriving home, she showed Qi An the fish and meat, and said with a smile that they were bought with the money given by her elder sister, and there was still a tael or so of silver left.

Qi An was a little dissatisfied when he heard that the total amount of money was only more than two taels, but he also knew that his sister was a master who didn't see the rabbit or cast the eagle. Before she heard what was important, she wouldn't Give more money.

When she comes tomorrow, she can whet her appetite by herself, and she can't do without paying more.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Qi really came in a sedan chair, with Panqiao, a maidservant of hers.

Qi An asked Ge Shi to do business in the front shop, and he met his elder sister Qi Shi in the north hall behind the shop.

Knowing that her younger brother had something important to say to herself, Qi asked Panqiao to go outside to help her sister-in-law, Ge, take care of the child, and then asked Qi An to tell her what she had learned.

But Qi An said: "My brother's house here has entered autumn, and it leaks when it rains. I want to find someone to repair it, but all the money in my hand has been used to buy goods, and my hands are tight for a while..."

Qi knew that the younger brother wanted money, so he talked about repairing the leaky house.

She took out five liang of silver and put it on the table, and said coolly, "These silver are enough for you to repair the house. Come on, what did you find out?"

Qi An smiled and took the five taels of silver and put it in his sleeve pocket, then said: "Sister, I went to Qingxi Village yesterday and found out a lot of incredible things. Let's talk about the first one first, so it turns out that the newcomer The eldest daughter of the Lu family was in Qingxi Village more than three years ago. She followed her younger brother to steal rice from the other courtyard of the Shen family, and was caught by the Shen family. The Shen family planned to send them to the yamen for punishment. The miss was kind enough to let Lu Jinglan become a slave in the Shen family, and then let the Lin family boy go back..."

"What?" Qi was surprised when she heard the words, "Is this really true?"

Qi An nodded: "Of course it's true."

Qi raised her head and laughed. After laughing for a long time, she stopped laughing and said, "I didn't expect that the daughter-in-law of the second wife of the Shen family was actually a servant. If this word is spread, who is willing to propose marriage?"

Qi An hurriedly followed suit, blinked, and added: "It's more than that."

"Oh?" Qi raised her eyebrows, and immediately leaned over to ask: "What else is there?"

Qi An spread his hands towards Qi Shi, and said that he wanted some spare money to drink and go to the gambling house to play a few games.

Qi snorted, after a pause, he took out five taels of silver and put it in Qi An's hand: "Take it, what is it, tell me quickly."

Qi An smiled and weighed the money in his hand, and continued: "Sister, Lu Jinglan is engaged to be married. The man's surname is Geng, and his name is Geng Hu. He is the son of the Geng family next to the Lin family. Later, Lu Jinglan was adopted After returning to the Lu family, the Lin family divorced the Geng family, and the boy named Geng Hu became seriously ill, and the Geng family was very dissatisfied."

This remark made Qi overjoyed, and couldn't help but praise his younger brother's trip to Qingxi Village for a good job, and he didn't go in vain.

Qi An then asked Qi Shi what he planned to do next, and if he wanted to help himself?

If he still needs to help himself, he can still make a trip, but the travel expenses are still required.

Qi's eyes rolled when she heard this, not to mention, she really thought that she needed her brother to make another trip to find the Geng's family and instigate them to come to Jinling Lu's house to make a fuss.Publicize the fact that Jing Lan was engaged to Geng Hu before, but later withdrew.Then, through their mouths, they also yelled about Jing Lan's going to the Shen family as a slave.In this way, even if Jing Lan's reputation is ruined, those rich families in Jinling City will definitely not ask her to marry her again.If anyone is willing to ask for a marriage, most of them are also widowers or because they have taken a fancy to her generous dowry.

In short, Jing Lan couldn't marry into a good family.

In this way, Jing Lan must be hit hard, and it will not be easy. Her brother Cheng Ze will also be hit. This is killing two birds with one stone. It is impossible for the Qi family not to do this.

However, Qi also knew that just asking his younger brother to find the Geng family and instigating them to come to the Lu family in Jinling to make trouble, they might not be willing to come.

Perhaps the Geng family also hated Jing Lan for repenting her marriage and retiring, but considering that the Lu family is a prominent family in Jinling, they would be somewhat taboo if they wanted to make trouble.

Only if they come to make trouble and get benefits, they will not be afraid of offending the Lu family and being retaliated against.

As the saying goes, money touches people's hearts, and with great rewards, there must be brave men. Qi thought that as long as the Geng family was given enough benefits, they would definitely come to Jinling and trouble Jinglan.

However, if you want to bribe the Geng family, you need to be careful not to let the Geng family know who bought them, lest someone will investigate in the future and find out that you are the person behind the scenes, that would be bad.

Thinking of this, she told Qi An her ideas and worries.

After hearing this, Qi An said: "Sister, it's best for me to go, it's not appropriate to leave it to others. Jinling City is so big and there are so many shopkeepers. This time I will help you with the matter. Within two or three years If you don’t sell goods, no one will know who I am. Besides, I’m the only one who won’t tell people that you used money to bribe the Geng family and make them go to the Lu family to make trouble.”

After hearing what Qi said, she thought about it, and felt that what Qi An said was reasonable, so she decided to entrust this matter to him.

She said to Qi An: "Tomorrow, I will ask Panqiao to send you 300 taels of silver, and you can use it to bribe the Geng family. After finishing this matter, I will give you another 100 taels of silver."

Qi An hastily agreed.

The next day, as expected, Panqiao sent Qi An cash of 100 taels of silver and bank notes of 200 taels of silver.

For the silver, Qi An only brought 100 taels of cash and went to Qingxi Village again.

This time, he didn't carry the burden of selling goods, but hired a mule cart and went to Qingxi Village, got off at the head of the village, asked the driver to wait, and went to Geng's house familiarly.

After knocking open the door of Geng's house, Qi An said that he wanted to talk to the man in charge of the house.

It was Geng Hu's younger sister A Ling who opened the door for him. She glanced at Qi An before she recognized him. He was the peddler who came to her house a few days ago to sell needles and brains. When Qi An said that he was looking for her father, she asked casually. Why is Qi An looking for him?

Qi An smiled and asked Ah Ling if his father was at home.

A Ling said yes, because it was slack season and there was no work in the fields.

Qi An said: "I'm here to send money to your family, and it's a lot of money, just tell your father that."

Although A Ling didn't quite believe what the man with a sharp, thin face said, she went in and told the truth to her father.

"Send money? Big money?" Geng Shi naturally didn't believe it when he heard it, but he was also a little curious why someone would come to his house and say such things for no reason, so he went out in person, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and went up and down After looking at Qi An, he asked Qi An what he meant when he asked his daughter to bring it.

Qi An untied a piece of blue cloth from the rucksack he was carrying, lit up a pile of snowflake silver in twelve taels and one ingot, and whispered: "Shall we go in and talk?"

After seeing clearly the pile of ten taels of silver in Qi An's bag, it is estimated that it will cost nearly 100 taels, which is really a lot of money.

Geng Shi was immediately tempted, and politely asked Qi An to come in and talk.

Then he took Qi An to the main room of Geng's north house, poured another bowl of water for Qi An, and asked Qi An to sit down and talk.

A Ling had already told her mother that her nephew was here, and Chai stayed in the east room, but she still listened to what her husband said to the peddler who came here to sell goods a few days ago.

In the main room, Qi An explained his reason for coming. He said that a person he knew knew about Huzi of the Geng family being withdrawn by the Lin family, and felt very sorry for Huzi.Therefore, they are willing to pay for the Geng family to bring Huzi to seek justice from the eldest lady of the Lu family, Jing Lan, and ask her why she was engaged to Ahu when she was a maidservant of the Shen family. Fu retired.If the man's family does not agree to withdraw the marriage, then the woman's family cannot withdraw the marriage if they want to withdraw, otherwise they can sue the government.

"These silvers are a total of 100 taels. If the Geng family agrees to take Ahu to the Lu family in Jinling and let the Lu family fulfill the marriage contract, the 100 taels will be yours. Not only that, as long as you go to the Lu family and tell the Lu family How did the eldest lady get engaged to Ahu before, and how she regretted the divorce later, my friend still has 200 taels as a gift." Qi An put the twelve ingots of snowflake silver in his purse into each ingot. Said on the table.

"..." Looking at the 100 taels of snowflake silver in front of him, Geng Shi's eyes became straight.

In his life, he had never seen so much silver.

100 taels of silver would allow the Geng family to build the same green brick and tile house as the Lin family next door, and also buy some more land.

The man in front of him said that as long as he took his son to Jinling Lu's house to ask Jing Lan why she broke her promise and divorced, there would be 200 taels as a gift, plus the 100 taels in front of her, that would be 300 taels, which would be richer than the Lin family by then.

This much money is money that their family will never be able to earn in a lifetime, and it is a lot of money.

With so much silver, the Geng family will live a prosperous life and get rid of poverty.

However, the identity of the man who sent the money in front of him is unknown, asking them to go to Lu Jinglan to discuss an explanation will make the Geng family offend the Lin family and also offend the Lu family.Moreover, Geng Shi didn't think that if the Geng family went to find the Lu family, the Lu family would really fulfill their marriage contract.Originally, when Jing Lan entered the Shen family as a slave, the two families only talked about it verbally, and did not make a formal agreement.

Obviously, the real purpose of sending so much money to the Geng family was to tell the Geng family to go to the Lu family to talk about the marriage contract, but it was just to disgust Jing Lan and make Jing Lan have a bad reputation.

That is to say, the person who is willing to pay 300 taels for the Geng family to trouble Jing Lan should be Jing Lan's enemy, just like the Geng family who secretly hates Jing Lan's ruthlessness.

The Lin family no longer has any relationship with the Geng family, and as for the Lu family, it has nothing to do with the Geng family. Geng Shi thought, if he offends the two of them, he can get 300 taels of silver, which is quite a bargain.

In what year and month do country people have the opportunity to make such a fortune?

It would be foolish not to grasp it.
