Ximenqing loves Wusong [Water Margin]

During the meal, Yueniang said with a heartbroken face: "Our family's money didn't fall from the sky. Kindly ask him to deliver it,? Did he make mistakes like this, or that? To cause trouble for the family, it is better for us to deal less with such a person in the future."

I laughed: "The more than 2000 taels of silver is not a total loss,? Didn't Wuhan University give us an IOU?"

Li Jiaoer said: "Teach Wuhan University to pay back our money? Senior officials, please wake up.

Don't say that he is not doing his job properly and likes to gamble and prostitute. Even if he doesn't have that kind of problem, it's good to earn five taels of silver a year just by selling cooking cakes.

To repay the money owed to us, it will take 300 years without eating or drinking! "

Meng Yulou gritted his teeth and said: "Then they have to pay it back. It's really not possible. They stole their house and bought it for his family's belongings. Let's take all the valuables from his house! Hengshun can't be eaten by us." deficit."

Li Ping'er, who was sitting on the side, suddenly smiled: "If you say that the most valuable of the Wu family is only his wife. You can ask the senior officials if you want it."

I raised my eyes to look at her: "Ping'er, haven't seen you for a few days? You also learned how to bully me from them?"

Yueniang held the Buddhist beads in her hand and said slowly: "Ping'er is not joking, the official document clearly states that if you owe money to someone and don't pay it back, you will have him and his family as slaves.

We are a kind family, and we don't bother to do such things. I hate that guy from Wuhan University for being too shameless. He blocked the door that day, and what he said was a bit ugly.

In the past few days, I have taught my father to tell the grandfather that if the money his family owes us is not paid this month, let him and his wife enter the house as slaves, and see if he is still rampant! "

Li Jiaoer and Meng Yulou clapped their hands together: "Sister is right,? This is the way to deal with this kind of unreasonable scoundrel. Teach him to tarnish the reputation of high officials!"

The women chattered lively, and suddenly there was another commotion outside the door.

A woman shouted loudly: "I beg you, teach me to go in and meet the high official. I have something to say to him."

Dai'an scolded her: "Pan Jinlian, it was your man who came to make trouble yesterday, and today|you came to make trouble again, where is our Ximen Mansion?";

Pan Jinlian said: "Little brother, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I came today to pay back the money from the high officials."

Hearing this movement, Li Jiaoer gritted her teeth and sneered: "Oh, I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

Yueniang threw the chopsticks away, and said impatiently: "If you don't teach people how to live a meal, the whole family named Wu is a disaster."

Pan Jinlian was rather stubborn. Dai An didn't ask her to come in, so she knelt in front of the door and kowtowed. I waved to Dai An: "Tell her to come in and see what she says."

The door opened, and Pan Jinlian came in carrying a load, with a bundle of quilts on one end and a pot on the other. She fell on the ground and bowed before entering the door: "My family has seen the officials and grandmas."

Li Ping'er smiled and said, "Hey, Pan Liu'er, you're the one who packs all the pots and stoves, but you plan to do business at our house?"

Pan Jinlian said: "Grandmaids, ladies and gentlemen, my family's incompetent people came to make trouble yesterday and taught the senior officials to be lethargic. I feel very ashamed. I'm here today to pay off my debts."

Li Jiaoer smiled and said: "Just how much is your property worth? It's not worth thirty or fifty taels, right? You said it would be worth one thousand five hundred taels?"

Pan Jinlian kowtowed and nodded: "I know these belongings are not worth much, but they are all the things in my family. I volunteer to come to the house as a slave, wash and mend, and do all the dirty work. How about paying off the debt with my own body?"

Yue Niang sneered: "What a repayment of the debt with her body! I'm afraid this sentence is the truth?"

This group of women are all very thoughtful, don't look at the lively talk about asking Pan Jinlian to sell herself as a slave just now, now that she really came to the door, all the women in the room looked on alert, like guarding against wolves.

I knew what they meant, so I quickly coughed dryly: "Hehehe, I heard everything clearly, what this woman said was working to pay off debts."

Li Jiaoer spit immediately: "What is this woman thinking, don't you think we don't know? Last time, there was a fight in Wuhan University, and you kept saying you want to see my family's senior officials, so we knew you had bad intentions.

At this time, your man owes a debt, and you rush to come to sell yourself. What are you trying to pretend we don't know?

Let me tell you, no matter how good the officials are, they belong to our sisters. You are a whore, and you dare to think about it.

Take your rags and leave quickly, don't pass by my house in the future, I think you are disgusting! "

Pan Jinlian was wronged by her being scolded, silver teeth bit her lips, her face was flushed, and she said coldly: "Grandma's words are wrong, I only owe favors and money to high officials, he didn't say to call me If you leave, I won’t leave, if he taught me how to pay it back, I will pay it back.”

Several women changed their colors together, Wu Yueniang said angrily: "Come on, drive this woman out!"

The servant wanted to rape Pan Jinlian, but she just looked up at me with tears in her eyes, she would rather die than surrender.

Well, now that I understood who she was coming for, I stood up and said, "I know why you came here today. If you want to see him, then come with me."

He led her out the door, walked outside Wu Song's room, and pointed at the inside: "He is lying in there, if you are worried, go in and have a look and then leave. My wife doesn't like you coming to the door. You also don't come."

She glanced at the door, then knelt down facing me.

She said: "Could it be that the high officials think that I'm not here to repay the debt sincerely? Even the high officials think I have other intentions?"

I turned my body away and didn't look at her: "Just now, my ladies have already made it clear, they don't allow you to come to the door, and I won't allow it. You go in and take a look at this time and go quickly, Ximen's mansion is not you The place to come."

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't hold back anymore, wiped her face with her sleeve, pushed open the door and walked in, but she heard another exclamation: "Uncle!"

I felt that the voice was not right, so I asked through the door, "What's the matter?"

Pan Jinlian said urgently: "Master, come in and have a look, what's wrong!"

When I entered the door, I was also stupid.

The bed was in a mess, but Wu Song had long since disappeared.

Now I was also in a hurry, so I quickly called the servant and asked, "Which one of you is looking at Second Master Wu?"

The boy who served him said: "I have never seen him. We went in early this morning to see him, and saw that he was sleeping soundly. We cleaned the room and came out. I have never seen anyone come out during this time."

I broke out in a cold sweat, and Pan Jinlian was also full of anxiety, and murmured: "How can this be good? Uncle, something has happened to him, right?"

Dai'an immediately became annoyed: "You woman, don't you want to blackmail us again? Let me tell you, we didn't harm Second Lord Wu. He must have left after he recovered from his illness."

Pan Jinlian quickly waved her hands: "My little brother, you misunderstood. I really didn't say that you guys harmed uncle."

The women behind him were already unhappy, and said in a hurry: "I know that there will be no good things when your family comes to the door. Your uncle has always been a man who doesn't know what is good or bad. He just left without saying hello after healed up." , It’s really rude. Don’t mess around here, hurry up and go home to find your uncle!”

Yueniang ordered the servants to drive Pan Jinlian out, and taught them to throw her things out of the door together.

I couldn't bear to see the woman staggering from being pushed, but I was even more worried, where did Wu Er die?

If you wake up suddenly, why don't you say hello to us before you leave?Just like this, people who live without seeing people and dead without seeing corpses, isn't this intentional to attract people's anxiety?

In the evening, shopkeeper Chen hurried over and brought another bad news.

None of the medicines called Tun in Baoxiang were found, and they were all intercepted and bought by others.

Shopkeeper Chen said: "The ambergris and ginseng are stocked all year round. This year, I haven't received a single pack. The Northwest Red Flower has only received some poor quality ones. Even the Northwest Epimedium that the senior officials specially confessed this time is also the same. No."

Frowning? It's not uncommon to fight openly and secretly in the medicine store, rushing to stop and buy goods. It's strange that there is someone with the same vision and handwriting as Ximen's family.What kind of person should have such strength?

Before I could finish my sentence, I saw another clerk rushing over from the cabinet, saying that a group of government servants had suddenly come to the door to check the medicines in our store.

Immediately, a lot of prohibited ones were found, and the door of the store was immediately sealed, and the official seal was pasted on the door, and all the guys were driven out. As for when it will be called to open again, it was not said.

Now I am annoyed, what do you mean by a leaky house and continuous rain?

What kind of mess did that old dog wrap me up this time?

Without further ado, he changed his clothes, rushed to the county government office, and went to talk to the grandfather.

The old dog was guarding a dining table and was about to start eating. When he saw me coming in, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he put on a hot smile: "Hey, the high official came just in time. Have you eaten? Hurry up and take a seat."

I wasn't too polite, and as soon as I sat at his dining table, I grabbed a chicken leg and gnawed it to death.

"Just now the Grandpa closed my shop, and the rations at the high official's mansion were cut off. I'm afraid I will come to the Grandpa's house every day to eat. Grandpa Fan told my wife to prepare a few more for me. The bowls and chopsticks, my ladies are also hungry."

The grandfather smiled and said, "Is this a high official who is angry? Come on, take a sip of wine first, and teach me to explain it to you carefully."

I was not polite, just ate several glasses of his pot of good wine, and ate up the two chicken legs on his plate, then wiped my hands, and said, "Tell me, my lord, I will listen to you. "

The old dog sighed, and said: "The high official is angry, I understand, but you have to think about the difficulty of this official. To tell you the truth, I didn't teach you to investigate this matter, it was a document issued by the state government , Said that there are some things in the shop of the high official that I should pay attention to.

The people above have said so, what do you teach me to do?I want to open my eyes and close my eyes, and teach people to fabricate things behind their backs. Aren't you and I making a big deal out of a trivial matter? "

I pointed at the table with my finger and stared at him intently: "I can't understand what the grandfather said. I have never offended anyone above. Who is so black-hearted about me?"

"Tsk, you don't even believe what I say, a senior official? Think about it for yourself, what kind of friendship do I have with you? How can I harm you like this for no reason? To put it inappropriately, I am a It's too late to treat you like my own son..."

I slapped the table: "Hey! You are unreliable in doing things by yourself, and you are taking advantage of me again?"

The grandfather's old face trembled: "Senior official, I'm just making an example, why are you annoyed? You still don't understand what I'm talking about at this time? It's really the superiors who punish you, and I have no choice but to do so!

Besides, the government expressly prohibits things such as sulfur, fire whistle, arsenic, and crane top fire to be stocked in limited quantities, but which ones in your store do not exceed? "

"Grandfather? If you want to say this, I won't obey you. You can go to our city to find out which pharmacy doesn't have more than these things?

According to our friendship, the superior called Cha, why don't you let me know in advance?It's good for you, you just blocked my shop without saying a word.Grandpa? You are so chilling in your handling of this matter! "

"Senior officer, I can usually give you some relief, but this time it's really not as good as before. You and I are here to heal your qi, why don't you just look up and see who you offended?"

Seeing that what this old dog said doesn't sound like nonsense, I won't say anything more.

Standing up from the chair, he said: "Since Grandfather said this, I will go to other places to inquire about it. There is a saying that cutting off a person's fortune is like killing one's parents. I have written down the matter of Hengshun. Teach me to find out who traps me, and I will definitely teach him to look good!"

Regardless of Old Dog Wen's colorful face, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Do you really think I am a good-tempered Ximen official?It's time to show you some rough stuff!

In the evening, the shopkeepers of my branches in several counties also came over one after another, saying that those shops were all sealed up, and the reasons for the investigation were all trivial, but the government did not give face to life or death, and closed them down without saying a word. The shop did not say when the shop will be reopened!It's the same as Old Dog Wen's method.

It seems that someone from above is indeed kicking me, but who is this person?

I really don't remember which person I offended.

After sending off all the shopkeepers, I was exhausted physically and mentally, so I taught the servants to cook fragrant soup and sprinkle flower petals in it, wanting to take a bath to relieve fatigue.

Dai'an just ordered a bathtub for me, made of ancient paulownia wood, and it takes seventeen or eight buckets of water to fill it up.

Sitting in it and soaked in hot water, I immediately felt much more refreshed.

Close your eyes and calculate the accounts carefully. The few incidents caused by Wu Er made me tired and I lost a lot.

His hole hadn't been plugged yet, and several shops encountered such nosy affairs again. It's really a bad time, and it makes people have gray hair...

While meditating, I suddenly heard a soft "flutter", the water instantly covered my neck, and a sigh came from the opposite side: "Oh, it's comfortable..."

When I opened my eyes, I saw that beast had entered my bathtub again!

Immediately he roared angrily: "Wu Song! Why are you here?"

He closed his eyes and rested his mind, resting his arms on the rim of the bucket leisurely, breathing in comfortably: "Why can't I come?"

I picked up the water ladle and poured it all over his face: "Is there any sense for you? Pan Jinlian came to look for you today, but this room was empty and no one was there. She almost told her to blackmail me. Are you here now?" Where did it come from again?"

He wiped the water off his face, and said casually: "Pan Jinlian blackmailed you? What nonsense are you talking about? I heard it clearly from the beam. She clearly said that she was coming to pay the debt."

"Oh, she came to pay off the debt? Do you believe this?

The things on that pair of picks add up to three hundred yuan, isn't it?What was written on the IOU was 500 taels of silver!

I can't pay back the skin and bones of all three of you. "

He looked up at me: "You bastard, do you remember money in your mind?"

I was about to be pissed off by him, and I made a gesture to jump out of the bucket, and he whistled to the sky: "Your fart|ass is so white!"

I protected my lower body and slapped his face with water: "You smelly and shameless!"

He frowned: "Tsk, losing your temper so much? Don't you just owe you money? I can't pay you back!"

"puff!"

A mouthful of old blood suffocated on my chest and almost choked to death. I covered my chest and stared at him: "Wu Er, can you really tell?"
