Miss Difficult to Marry

There was a sound of dripping water dripping all around. Listen carefully, but the sound is sometimes in the east and sometimes in the west, and there is no one to find it.If you listen carefully for a while, there is no sound at all.Chen Qingyu lay on the ground, fell asleep in a daze, and woke up in a daze.

Although the dungeon was built with twists and turns, there was no sound at all other times except for the prison guards walking around and inspecting occasionally.It's dark here all day long, and I don't know what time it is.

Chen Qingyun opened his eyes for a while before waking up.She moved slowly, trying to put her head against the wall.

There are no young or old on the road to Huangquan, she, Chen Qingyu, can be counted as the innate number of Huangji, and she can know whether life is high or low.She knew that it was impossible for her to live to such a long life, but she would not be so short-lived.

Chen Qingyu raised his head and looked at the small window on the top, where a faint light shone in.What would Qin Yuzhen be doing at this time, dressing up?Have a meal?Or lazily leaning against the window to look at the flowers in the garden?

Chen Qingyun closed her eyes in some pain, what was she doing, why bother to put her heart on her.Maybe, in just a year or so, she will forget about herself when she has a husband-in-law whom she likes.

After some time, there seemed to be someone talking outside the prison door.

Chen Qingyu listened carefully, and it seemed to be a person's voice.Not long after, footsteps came gradually.

"This poor man,... these two, please accept them."

"Hehe, this, what a shame."

"Small gifts should be regarded as respect. The poor man has a hard job, so it is right to buy some wine to eat and get tired."

"..."

Sure enough, God will not kill me.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Chen Qingyu's mouth.

"This is my brother. In the future, please take care of me."

"It's easy to talk, I'll open the door first and you go in, but the time can't be too long."

"I know, I know, I'm sorry to bother you."

After a sound of an iron lock on the door, the cell door opened.

"Brother Rong." The visitor's tone was a little anxious, "Brother Rong, you, you..."

"Don't move." Chen Qingyu hurriedly said, "I have an injury on my back."

"My God, you, how did you end up in this kind of field?"

"Young master Ge has a heart. I'm very grateful that you can come today."

"Thank you, how can I just watch you do nothing like this. We are brothers, if you say such kind words, it will damage our friendship. If I hadn't heard what the fat man said, I wouldn't know you are here."

"Oh, that Wang En is really a villain. Apart from being jealous of the virtuous and capable, he has no other skills, and he only knows how to lay hands on people."

Chen Qingyun had just opened his mouth to say a few words, as if he was out of breath.

She was very weak: "What's the use of saying this now."

Seeing her like this, Ge Wushao couldn't help sighing, "Oh! You said you too, a good man doesn't suffer at the moment. The courtroom of this yamen is the territory of the Wang family. Why are you going to contradict him. Leave it green Now, I am not afraid that there will be no firewood to burn, and the days to come will be long."

Chen Qingyu wanted to laugh but couldn't, "What else can I do, if I say a few nice words, he can still forgive me?"

Ge Wushao shook his head, "However, having said that, it's just Miss Qin, huh, this woman is too cruel. Let's not talk about the life-saving grace before, but at least you and her have been together for so long Ah, this person's heart is full of flesh, but you see, you are dying now, and she doesn't even look at you."

Chen Qingyun took a breath, "It's none of her business."

"Why it's none of her business? I didn't say it. After all, she hasn't been married. If it's really your own daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be distressing to see you like this?"

"Master Ge, please do me a favor, let's stop talking about this."

But after saying a few more words, her internal organs were as if they had been twisted by a knife.

"All right, all right, I can't take care of your affairs, but I really can take care of you now. Don't worry, I'll find you a good doctor when I go out. I will naturally take care of other things. I will take good care of you, even if you have something wrong and die, I will pick up the soil and bury you."

Chen Qingyu choked, "Don't, I can't die just because of your kindness."

She slowly exhaled, and then said: "However, there is no need to invite this doctor, you see, no one else can enter this dungeon..."

"What's the matter? The doctor also makes a living by treating people's diseases. Where does he see a doctor? It's not just a doctor. I just put a few more big ingots to give to those bastards in the prison. It's just a lot of money. This little money I, Ge Wu, can still use it."

Chen Qingyun shook his head lightly, "Forget it, I know the injuries on my body, I will write a prescription for you later, and you can help me grab some medicines."

"Can you still write prescriptions?"

Ge Wushao said in amazement: "It seems that you are really a master and don't show your face. Well, that's fine. Anyway, just don't put yourself to death."

Chen Qingyun smiled weakly: "With your kindness, I can't bear to let you spend an extra coffin, can't I?"

Ge Wushao laughed himself, "Hey, have you eaten yet? I'll ask someone to bring food in later."

Chen Qingyu nodded. Since she came in, she hadn't even had a sip of water except for a bowl of rotten meat noodles given to her by a kind old guard last night.Those jailers dealt with these prisoners all the year round, and they had hideous faces. Chen Qingyu was unwilling to even talk to them, let alone ask them for water.

Ge Wushao sighed, and stood up, "All right, I'll go get a pen and paper, you take a good rest these few days, if I have free time, I'll come and see you."

-

In the afternoon of that day, an old woman from the Ge family brought in a jar of rice.After that, she will have three meals a day, soup and medicine, clothes and bedding, and take care of her wholeheartedly.

Or as the old saying goes, money can turn ghosts around.Ever since Ge Wushao took money to buy a few guards in the prison, these people immediately changed their faces.Not only did he stop yelling loudly with gestures when he spoke, but even when he came to make inspections sometimes, he would kindly ask if he wanted to drink water.

In fact, regardless of whether it is a bad person or a good person, she has seen a lot in Chen Qingyu's eyes. Well, if you don't have money, you will turn your face in a blink of an eye.

At the end of April, when the wind was warm and the sun was warm, some of the flowers in several gardens of the Qin family began to wither one after another. Soon, after the lotus blooms for the first time, it will be a beautiful scenery again.

Because it was the end of April, and the landlords outside the Qin Mansion had to come into the mansion every two months to pay their accounts.In addition to the income from the land and other income, the Qin family's biggest income is actually the dozens of shops in and outside the city.

In the large study room on the west side of the front yard, there were already more than a dozen shopkeepers sitting in the shop. When He Yi was flipping through the ledger, the eldest lady of the Qin family just walked in from the outside.

"Miss."

"Miss is here."

Qin Yuzhen nodded lightly, "Are all shopkeepers here?"

He Yi said: "It's all here, Miss, sit down first."

Hui'er, who was following behind, hurried over to set up chairs.

A large sandalwood desk is placed next to a carved screen with peonies in bloom, on which several thick stacks of ledgers have already been stacked.

After Qin Yuzhen sat down, she said: "Every shopkeeper has worked hard."

"Miss, you are welcome."

After exchanging a few words, everyone returned to their seats.

He Yi took the abacus and said, "Miss, when I checked the accounts last time, there was still an old account that had not been settled. Let's clear those accounts first."

Qin Yuzhen picked up an account book at hand, and a middle-aged man in brown silk hurried over and said, "Miss, I have probably settled the account. Except for some pocket accounts, there is still a shortfall of 300 taels of silver."

"Why so many? How long has it been?"

"Miss, it's like this. We have gone to the shopkeeper Li to collect it several times, but they have no cash, and there is no way to delay it all the time. I had to ask someone to take them. They went to the tea shop to get some tea to pay off the debt, but this The things are not cash, and when they are sold out slowly, it will be a shortfall of hundreds of taels of silver."

"Really? I'll look at the detailed account."

……

"Shopkeeper Yan, I remember last year that the top-quality Longjing was about [-] or [-] taels of silver a catty. At the end of the year, it was a good time to sell. Why did you set the price so low, less than a tael?"

"Well, I just want to get the money back as soon as possible. It's all for business. I can't do anything about this price."

"However, your price is too low, and it took you several months to sell it. Shopkeeper Yan, everyone is a humane person. I won't say much about the twists and turns. Anyway, let's go When you go back to reconcile the accounts, you have to fill in the gap for me."

Shopkeeper Yan's old face was almost unbearable, "Miss, this..."

Not to mention seriousness, Qin Yuzhen didn't make things difficult for him too much. It's perfectly normal to take advantage of this kind of thing. As long as the amount is not too large, neither her father Qin Zhongkun nor she will care too much about it. "When the account is filled out, just ask Steward He to register it."

Except for this order, the rest are new accounts from the past two months, and except for a sum of interest that cannot be matched, the rest is pretty smooth.

He Yi sat on the side, holding a pen and slowly writing the account.

"Shopkeeper Zhao." Qin Yuzhen picked up an account book, "I think your account looks very bad."

The shopkeeper Zhao stood up and opened the account book, but slowly read aloud: "On the second day of March, the lady sent someone to come to the cabinet to withdraw the silver, which was used to buy spring clothes for my uncle, including 270 taels of clothing material and 66 taels of embroiderer's labor. Three On the 320th of the month, the lady asked someone to put 22 taels of silver in the cabinet, and used it to go to Putuo Mountain to offer incense and pray for my uncle’s disaster relief. On March 500, I took [-] taels of silver pattern and gave it to my uncle as money, and in April..."

"enough!"

Huier on the side was startled.

Qin Yuzhen's face was as cold as ice, "...ask Steward He to fill in the silver for you from the treasury."
