Li Jin and Widow Liu added another layer of excitement to the Lotus Festival.
The entire Huai River was boiling.
Li Jin has been regarded as a celebrity in the past two days, and has been promoted to the most popular top in Nanguan Town. He is redder than the lotus flowers in the summer, even though he debuted in black and red.
He is a scholar, so naturally he is not willing to be humiliated.
He argued loudly to no avail. Everyone was just curious and watching the excitement, and no one spoke for him.
He looked for Magistrate Liu with his eyes. As the county magistrate and academic administrator, he must stand up for the students who were slandered.
Magistrate Liu was whispering to He Shun at this time.
Just now A Zhen said that there was a lawsuit for him to settle, and County Magistrate Liu wanted to ask He Shun what he meant.
He Shuntong whispered to him, just decide the case according to the law.
Liu Hong felt his head was as big as a bucket.
After listening to a lot of gossip, I roughly understood why things happened.
Is it really difficult?
It was impossible for him to award Widow Liu to Li Jin as his wife, but if he didn't do that, people would inevitably say that he was shielding his students.
The county magistrate Liu Shu ran from his boat to Azhen's big boat, stood beside Xiao Fuyuan and jumped up and down, wanting to get off the boat to see the excitement.
"Sister Yuan Bao, it's really interesting. Let's get off the boat and have a look." Liu Shu encouraged Xiao Fuyuan desperately.
"Sister, if you don't want to go, there are too many people down there. What should we do if we are crowded?" A Zhen said coldly.
"Brother Azhen is right, I won't get off the boat." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Liu Shu looked at Xiao Fuyuan's watery almond-shaped eyes and delicate face, and wanted to pinch him, but he held back and put his hands in his pockets. He was afraid that Xiao Fuyuan would annoy him.
There was also A Zhen, standing beside him coldly, staring at him like a protector.
He didn't dare to make mistakes.
"Sister Yuanbao, there are a lot of delicious food on my ship, cherries, pears, hibiscus cakes, cannoli... all specially prepared for you. Do you want to follow me to our ship?"
Liu Shu said with a smile.
His grandmother and mother were both sitting in the cabin, and they had always been curious about little Fuyuan.
He said that he wanted to see what she looked like. If her appearance was really a prosperous husband and a housekeeper, he could consider giving her the position of a noble concubine.
Originally, he wanted to tell Xiao Fuyuan about this, but seeing A Zhen's cold and protective face, he just didn't dare to speak.
This Ah Zhen, at a young age, looks even more powerful than Xiao Fuyuan's brothers.
Xiao Fuyuan was really excited when she heard these delicious foods.
But she didn't want to go to Liu Shu's boat. She always felt that someone on the boat was looking at her, and that look made her uncomfortable.
She has a visceral reaction to unfriendly surroundings.
"No, thank you." Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile.
"You really don't want to eat those delicious foods?" Liu Shu continued to seduce her with delicious food.
"Brother Azhen is also on board." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Ah Zhen's brows widened and he said to Liu Shu, "Can you stop being like a sticky candy?"
Liu Shu: "..."
He, the number one son in Yangfeng County, is actually called Niubi Tang?
Xiao Fuyuan pointed towards the shore: "Keep eating melon."
A Zhen turned around and called Wu Xiaoying: "Let Liu Yishou cut a melon for my sister."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
The thing she was talking about was the continuous fight between Li Jin and Widow Li on the shore, and now County Magistrate Liu Hong is over.
"Master Liu, you must make the decision for the student. The student has been falsely accused by this old woman." Li Jin's voice was full of grievance.
Yesterday he was so happy when he fished Xu Jiaojiao out of the water, but now he was so disappointed when facing Widow Li.
"Master Liu, everyone says that you are the blue sky of Yangfeng County. The peasant woman and Mr. Li are in love with each other. He bought fish from the peasant woman and left a sweat towel as a token of love. Today he fell into the water. The peasant woman saved his life, and he said that as long as the peasant woman saves her, he will agree to any conditions. Now the peasant woman does not want any reward, she just wants to marry him."
Widow Liu was no longer afraid of Master Qingtian.
Liu Hong had a headache. The matchmaker's parents should have come forward to do this.
When it comes to breaking the law, neither of them has.
"I understand. Your father-in-law is right, and your mother-in-law is right. Since it involves marriage matters. I am not a matchmaker, and I am not a parent, so I really can't make the decision. You two should go home and find a matchmaker. The parents themselves Negotiate.”
After Liu Hong finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
How to resolve this case?
It can only be left to the marriage.
Li Jin's hope was completely shattered.
Widow Liu wiped away her tears, moved forward to pull Li Jin, and said coquettishly: "Master Li, the county magistrate has said so, what do you think about our marriage? I will listen to you."
Li Jin was almost disgusted to death.
The wrinkles on his face can pinch the legs of a mosquito, and he's still a slave to his mouth.
At this time, Widow Liu's son came with his daughter-in-law and grandson carrying fish in his bare feet.
Widow Liu's daughter-in-law was also very non-vegetarian and always fought with her mother-in-law. She glanced at the man and pushed her and said, "Your mother is very capable of finding such a young and handsome scholar to be your father."
Widow Liu's son was even more hurt. The old man directly called Li Jin: "Dad, if you are willing to support this family, you are willing to let me change my surname."
The onlookers burst into laughter, and even the most displeased person said that Li Jin was blessed with good fortune, and that he would be promoted to a man once he was married.
Li Jin rolled his eyes and fainted.
…
The farce by the Huai River reached Shopkeeper Xu's ears as if it had wings.
Shopkeeper Xu was anxiously waiting for Bai Sanzhuang's letter in the shop. Unexpectedly, he learned that Li Jin fell into the water and was rescued by Widow Liu, who was going to marry her.
Shopkeeper Xu patted the table several times in applause, wishing he could recognize Bai Sanzhuang as his biological son.
Li Jinniang woke up quietly and found that she was still in Xu's shop.
Nao couldn't understand what happened and thought he had just taken a nap.
Through the slanting light from the window, I realized that it was almost sunset.
I was very angry.
Shopkeeper Xu, you must have done this on purpose. No matter what your methods are, your daughter is also from the old Li family.
Li Jinniang cheered up, knocked on the door, and shouted: "You dare to lock me in the room. Shopkeeper Xu, you can't lock your daughter, but you lock your mother."
Shopkeeper Xu ordered the waiter to open the door and invite Li Jinniang into the main hall.
"Let's discuss your son's marriage." Shopkeeper Xu took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Li Jinniang was overjoyed. After all, her son had the ability to make Shopkeeper Xu relent so quickly.
"Shopkeeper Xu, this should have happened a long time ago." Li Jinniang sat down on the chair.
Shopkeeper Xu asked: "Who are you going to propose to for your son's marriage?"
Li Jinniang said: "The matchmaker in town is not good. If you think she is not good enough, I will sacrifice my face to ask the head of the Tan family."
The head of the Tan family is in charge of the private school, and with his son's character and appearance, he will definitely give him face and be willing to protect his match.
His son is a Tongsheng student. How many students in the entire private school have passed the Tongsheng examination?
Shopkeeper Xu nodded, recorded it on rice paper, and said, "Then ask the head of the Tan family to protect the matchmaker."
Shopkeeper Xu finished writing and asked: "When are the six rites different?"
Li Jinniang said: "If you accept the gift tomorrow, ask for your name the day after tomorrow, if you accept the gift...it will be the eighteenth day of this month to get married. It will get better and better."
Shopkeeper Xu wrote them down one by one.
Shopkeeper Xu said: "This marriage is different from others. The relatives of the woman's family need the care of the man. I wonder if you are still willing to get married?"
Li Jinniang thought to herself, shopkeeper Xu and his wife were just one daughter, so they couldn't expect Li Jin to throw a basin and die. This trivial matter was nothing compared to the Xu family's huge industry.
So my head was like a chicken pecking at rice, I was willing, very willing.
Li Jinniang added another sentence: "But Shopkeeper Xu, we have agreed that my son will not marry me."
Shopkeeper Xu smiled lightly and said: "If you don't marry into your wife, I guarantee that the girl will marry into your family."
Li Jinniang smiled, thinking that she had the Xu family under control.
She couldn't wait to run to the warehouse of Xu's shop to take stock of how much money she had at this moment.
From now on, it will all belong to her son Li Jin.
