Chang Yan is choosing a house for Wen Zhiyun.
Back then, Hairpin Courtyard could be rented for twenty-five taels. The biggest reason was that the courtyard was really dilapidated and subsequent maintenance would be troublesome. Also, Wang Fufeng at that time had no intention of managing it and had a more casual attitude.
Other houses nearby do not have these shortcomings. They are all clean and brand-new, with red walls and green tiles, and there is something wonderful inside.
Likewise, the prices are fantastic.
The second courtyard on the left side of the Hairpin Flower Courtyard is only one-fifth of the area of the Hairpin Flower Courtyard, but it costs eighty taels of silver per year.
The next person entered the small courtyard and it was fifty-two-one years old.
Although the family has some savings, it still spends a lot, so it cannot be wasted like this.
Chang Yan's face darkened slightly. When he returned to Hairpin Flower Courtyard, he saw a servant of the Wang family waiting for him.
Seeing the rightful owner, after saluting, the servant took out a land deed from his arms and said, "The Liu family sent me a gift of thanks. After the master considered it, I left this land deed. I hope the master likes it."
Chang Yan took it, and it was exactly what he saw when he entered the small courtyard, separated by a wall from the hairpin courtyard. Although it was not big, it was exquisite and delicate. He did not expect it to belong to the Liu family.
Unexpectedly, Wang Fufeng sent it to him.
For the first time, Chang Yan felt what the "Seven Orifices and Exquisite Crystal Heart" meant. Mr. Fufeng was so smart that it was hard not to appreciate him.
He left the land deed, sighed, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Brother Fufeng."
There is no need to say more words, but the relationship between each other has gone further. If we need help in the future, it is just a matter of words.
"You're welcome, Mr. Changyan." The servant bowed and said goodbye, "Master, please don't worry about the Wang family's affairs, but please pay more attention to the Sun family."
The reason why Wang Fufeng was able to be plotted by Mr. Wang this time was essentially the revenge of Governor He on the Wang family.
In Sheriff He's opinion: The Wang family has an idea, and the Sun family implements it.
The former makes people unhappy, the latter makes people angry.
Therefore, it is the Sun family, Sun Yu's brother, Sun Ning, who really bears more of Governor He's emotions.
What could he do?
Could it be that they discovered the truth about the Wang family's scheme against the Sun family?
At first, everyone thought that Sheriff He was here to support the Sun family and to be the support of the Wang family.
But he had been here for several months, but he only focused on the Hairpin Flower Courtyard and didn't give anything extra to the Sun family. He didn't even meet the Sun family in the Wang family's big house.
The Sheriff is like a lonely big radish planted in the ground. He has extraordinary momentum, but he does not stick together with other radishes.
Chang Yan was confused and kept some snacks. When Zheng Ruqian came back, he would ask him about the recent situation of shopkeeper Youranju Hao.
"You mean Shopkeeper Hao." Zheng Ruqian, who was tired of traveling, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. "I just came back from delivering the beans today. He is very good. I heard that my wife and daughter were going back to Fengjing for a wedding a few days ago. I haven’t been back for the past two days, maybe because I found that a carriage can’t be pulled.”
Chang Yan's mouth twitched, knowing that the Sun family had not discovered the Wang family's deliberate calculations, and he put his heart back into his stomach.
So what actions will they take?
Soon, everyone knew.
In early October, just after the farce in the Wang family ended, Wang Haoran and Zhou Wan were engaged, and they agreed to get married after gaining fame after the joint examination.
This is enough to show Wang Haoran's confidence in his literary attainments.
and the Zhou family’s efforts to regain their dignity.
At the end of October, Anshui County was rarely quiet for a while. Everyone was busy with their own affairs and working hard for the future.
But on a dark and windy day, two thieves sneaked into the county magistrate's mansion and left after making a big fuss in the backyard.
The whole mansion was furious.
This is the mansion of the county governor, but it was actually stolen by thieves. It comes to the minds of the people, what should they think and how should they doubt the security of Anshui County.
It was night, and the entire backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion was brightly lit, and everyone was carefully checking to see what was missing.
Thankfully, no valuables were lost.
The people in the mansion were rejoicing while rummaging through the last trunk. When they checked the governor's wife's personal trunk, the maid was shocked to find that the lady's undergarments were missing three sets.
Although it is not an expensive material, it has been worn many times, and my wife’s name is even embroidered on it.
Why did the thief steal this?
The eldest maid didn't know what happened, so she reported it to He Chengzhang. She saw the adult smashing the cup angrily, and then she realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Block all the news and don't spread it." In the darkness, He Chengzhang pressed the fire and warned.
After the eldest maid left, he rolled up his sleeves and threw all the tea cups and utensils on the ground.
It's so abominable, so disgusting.
Even though he knew that Madam was his rival, he still tried to manipulate her body.
Could it be that he, He Chengzhang, only knows how to eat and drink?
In the dark night, a middle-aged man in his thirties laughed angrily, then smiled coldly, then lowered the corner of his mouth.
the next day.
Although the people in the Sheriff's Mansion tried their best to cover it up, rumors could not help but spread.
Some people say that the Sheriff's Mansion was robbed, and the thieves stole the Sheriff's wife's personal belongings.
Others said that it looked like she had been robbed. Maybe the county governor's wife did something inappropriate and the county governor discovered it. She couldn't save face and had to cover it up in this way.
Some even spread rumors about the conduct of the county governor's wife.
He Chengzhang stopped all of this from reaching his wife's ears.
But he couldn't cover up what people outside said.
In the hairpin courtyard, the six brothers and sisters were also discussing this issue.
Although he had a hostile relationship with County Sheriff He, and he had planned to target the brothers and sisters, no one in the small courtyard could laugh when they saw the County Sheriff's wife being slandered like this.
Xu Mo said in a deep voice, "The person behind making a fuss about a woman's reputation is despicable and disgusting."
Wen Zhiyun also nodded, "Sister Xiaozhu told me that the Sheriff's wife is an excellent person."
Jiang Sheng grabbed the rice.
Today's meal is quite sumptuous, including chicken, duck, fish, and my aunt's newly made cured pork ribs, which taste very good.
But after taking a few bites, Jiang Sheng stopped talking and asked in a low voice, "Why do fights between men always involve women?"
Because women care more about reputation, because women are more vulnerable, and because women are easier to attack.
The system and customs of the Dayu Dynasty, as well as the concepts left by the ancestors, are full of constraints on women, but there are few requirements for men.
For example, in the Wang family farce, Wang Haoran was only discussed for a few words, but Zhou Wan's reputation was completely ruined.
Men can take concubines and view romance as beauty, but women have to care for their husbands and raise children, but they have to be single-minded.
In the final analysis, the world is not very tolerant of women, so that a woman's reputation is like fragile glass, which can be easily destroyed by anyone who has the intention to do so.
The person behind that was really cruel. He spread rumors about the county governor's wife and stole intimate clothes.
If the obscene clothes were leaked out, the reputation of the county guard's wife would be stained, and nothing could be done to wash it away.
"If I were the person behind it, this obscene garment would make a big fuss." Chang Yan said slowly, "It will definitely be placed in the home of the person I hate the most."
In this way, the county governor will desperately avenge his wife, just like he did against the Sun family and the Wang family.
As soon as Chang Yan finished speaking, several people in the small courtyard were startled.
Then, they all stood up, without eating, and searched the entire courtyard urgently.
There are no bedrooms, no workshops, and no yards.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Ruqian pulled two pieces of cloth from the donkey cart that had just been transported back, "Hey, what is this?"
